will be able to flip a switch in the pump house and resolve the problem before the whole commute is just kind of in the toilet, so to speak. so this morning you're going to need to find another route if you're headed 280 southbound. if you're headed to the airport, you're going to need to reroute. you won't need to get onto 87 at all in this direction. we'll stay out here and see when caltrans gets here and make sure we understand what the problem is and how long the delays might be. in san jose kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> busy area there. >> thank you, kris. if it's just a circuit breaker maybe we should give kris a key to the pump house. she's first on the scene. >> a hard worker out there. at least it's a pleasant morning. let's check in kari hall. >> looks pretty good as we start out this morning. mostly cloudy skies. we will see clouds we're seeing this morning kind of lower as the morning goes alock, especially for the coastline. looking now at san francisco, you can see the top of the buildings there. as we go into the rest of the

ideally could have been taken care of when it first started. it would have been a lot easier. >> each team will individually handle punishments handed out to violators. some are angry the league never consulted players before reaching that decision. it is 5:03 right now. today two fairfield parents will head back to court facing heinous child abuse crimes. we told you about this horrific story last week. police say their kids were forced to live in squall or and endured torture at the hands of mother and father. rogers says her husband was the one abusing the children, but prosecutors say rogers also helped and told the children not to tell anyone. >> 5:03, one of the two men charged in the deadly oakland ghost ship warehouse fire will ask to be freed on bail today. max harris and darrick almena face 36 counts of manslaughter, one for every person who died in the fire. harris argues the changes in the law should allow his client to

meeting? >> yeah, i think so. >> reporter: unpressure the white house agreed to include democrats in a second briefing. >> i expect them to honor their word, but we are hearing conflicting things from the white house. >> this sounds to me like a judge meeting with one party, the defendant, ahead of time. >> if you're going to show up, show up with an open mind and closed lips. >> reporter: today's top secret briefings expected to prove whether the fbi was legitimately investigating russia or playing politics. now, we're also hearing from the justice department that white house chief of staff and the deputy attorney general who oversees the russia investigation will also be in on those briefings today, which is interesting, laura, becaus originally they were not planning to. they were not expected to be part of that. they weren't on the list. >> very interesting. tracie potts. thank you very much. live from washington. >> 5:06, let's take you to those developments in hawaii. a look at the big island. you can see an incredible new

sight this morning, weeks into the eruption. new video showing blue flames burning from the cracks in the ground. can you see them here. these flames are a result of methane gas that burned below earth's surface. this is dangerous because gas can cause underground explosions sending hot lava several feet into the air. only on nbc the disaster hits close to home for santa cruz family. they sold everything to buy their hawaiian dream home but lava wiped it out. >> we put a lot of our hearts into it. a lot of our heart still there. >> spent two weeks working on that house and had just plant add grove of fruit trees. >> 5:07 right now. happening today the world's largest oil companies will ban together trying to throw out a couple of bay area lawsuits. san francisco and oakland sued

coastline and very cool temperatures. where we see the green, that's where we could have some rain developing overnight and into early tomorrow morning. some of the higher rain chances will be for the north bay and also as you head over towards sacramento throughout friday and saturday. keep that in mind if you will be traveling all around the region. we are going to see some very light rain totals, a couple of sprinkles, a few hundredths of an inch across the bay area. i'll have more on that. mike, you're tracking two important issues. >> right, kari. we have a lighter volume of traffic but tough problem where the volume is heaviest. another issue as folks are heading to the airport, another destination for folks. we talked about the closure south 280, one lane is closed, your right lane, slow lane. also connector to 87. folks might be wanting to take 87 to sjc. if that's your route 280 to 880, for the airport, past the closure. that flooding, kris sanchez reports from the scene. like last week we had that pump

that had an issue, can't do the drains it's supposed to. westbound 580 north flynn a crash blocking fast lane as you're getting through the area jammed up out of the altamont corridor. that's a problem until you pass flynn road. farther on at the dublin interchange camera pointed over there. you see the traffic smoothly. no slowing at the scene. dublin smooth bound westbound but eastbound through the construction in the valley. >> coming up next on "today in the bay," another close call. >> frightening moments at sfo new safety concerns after a plane snagged a concrete wall. and -- >> get your hands out of your pockets now. >> i've got stuff in my hands. >> a popular nba player tased. controversial body footage just

apology. >> members acted inappropriately and those members were recently disciplined. i'm sorry this discipline escalated to this level. >> brown is now planning to file a lawsuit. bucks leader say the team fully supports him. they are calling for more police accountability. where should criminal reports draw the line when it comes to evidence from social media. that may get an answer today because the supreme court is expected to rule on a case tied to a deadly shooting in san francisco five years ago. public defenders want to use facebook and twitter as a part of their evidence but the companies involved don't want to turn that over to the courts. the defendants argue it's violating their right it a fair trial. meanwhile more business and tech news, changes for apple's self-driving car program. >> for the rest of our news before the bell let's check inic headquarters this morning.

good morning, leslie. >> good morning, laura and scott. wall street could be set for a mixed day of trading. markets reversed earlier losses yesterday to finish higher after the feds said it would be comfortable letting inflation rise temporarily. that's reassuring investors the fed won't be too aggressive hiking interest rates which affect consumers borrowing cost. look for economic data on unemployment and home sales. dow rising 52 to 24886, nasdaq closing up 47 to 7425. apple is narrowing the scope of its self-driving car program.

the new fees come as ups is investing billions of dollars to expand and automate its sorting facilities. the charges are aimed at discouraging retailers from shipping heavier products that could slow down operations. ups may partner with trucking firm to handle home delivery of heavy and bulky items. guys. >> thanks a lot, leslie. >> goodness me. haley. >> wow. >> goodness me is right. take a look at that. a british television reporter covering a horse race jumped into action. she jumped in front of a runaway horse that lost its rider. she got in front of the horse, grabbed the reins, knocked off her feet. she held on to keep that horse from getting away. moore apparently knew what she was doing. she's the daughter of a trainer and jockey. >> that's amazing.

>> she immediately gets up and checks out the horse. getting off her knees. reporting action there. >> let's check memorial day weekend weather. >> heating up over the weekend but still cool meantime and rain in between in parts of the bay area. we get started with a live look outside in dublin. clear, visibility looking all good right here with this camera view. the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen with some cool weather for today and tomorrow and then a warm up. as we get a look at walnut creek and temperature trend for today, partly cloudy skies through much of the morning. but like we normally see, we'll get a lot of sunshine by this afternoon. still kind of cool with mid-60s today for high temperatures. concord heading up to 68 degrees, 66 in livermore. 69 in san jose. palo alto will reach up to 67 degrees and some upper 50s from half moon bay to san francisco. later tonight in san francisco,

the graduates will be partaking in the ceremony out there at at&t park. fireworks afterwards. you're probably wondering if you'll actually be able to see the fireworks. the clouds will be higher tonight. so you should have a pretty good view of the fireworks and temperatures in the upper 50s. so wear something nice and warm. as we get a look at what's happening here, the clouds are higher because we do have a weather system approaching that could bring in some spotty light showers, especially for the north bay. and throughout tonight, rain chances will be a little bit higher for the coastal areas and north bay. spotty showers to start out friday but there will be the chance as we go into the afternoon as well that there could be a little bit of isoled. we'll continue to monitor that as we make plans for the weekend, let me know what you're doing. i'm @karihall on facebook and twitter and we'll track a warmer forecast. look at that. mid-80s by sunday. inland areas up to 90 on

memorial day and slightly cooler as we head toward the middle of next week. san francisco heading into the low 70s. heading over to mike, you've been tracking that closure. look at that, the flooded roads. >> exactly, kari. this looks like it's a lot brighter. footage from last week, over a week ago last wednesday when all of this flooding happened because of the pump that was out of commission over on the shoulder there. look at that, at one point traffic down to one lane and that flooding started to slowly recede as they fixed that pump. get you out to the live maps now. we had the same issue today. it's eight days after that first one. kris sanchez out on scene along with our photographer allen who just phoned in and said not one lane but two lanes. we see more slowing, more closures there. half the freeway closed, so is the connected 87. 280 to 87 to get to sjc for hollywood weekend travel. you should have exited earlier on 880.

you still have the option to turn around and get over there past that scene. that will take you past the closure. kris is on the scene and following that the rest of the south bay shows a nice drive because northbound is what push we have before memorial day. over here better news for altamont westbound 580 that cleared at north flynn. starting to recover, just report add couple minutes ago. we should have a better flow. more traffic toward livermore and dublin interchange. slowing both directions castro valley p crews holding things up a tad bit. allow another 10 minutes if you're traveling either direction. getting to the bay bridge a smooth drive. cash lanes beginning the back-up. show you that coming up, guys. back to you. >> sounds good. thanks, mike. coming up on "today in the bay." tonight is the night. a sneak preview of the latest "star wars" movie before it hits the screens tonight.

police say mark dallas saved countless lives when a gunman ambushed dixon high school. here is what was going through his head when he stopped that shooter. >> my thought is, oh, my god, he's going to get somebody over there. i need to continue, continue. that's all -- i was not going to let him get away. >> the person with the gun is the only one who got hurt. can you hear the full interview on the "today" show. >> happening tonight, do you have your tickets yet or lightsaber. >> if you don't, grab them both. the new "star wars" movie opens everywhere tonight.

i )m scott mcgrew in for marcus washington. and i )m laura garcia. toss to mike with breaking news on flooding on 280. thanks for joining us. i'm scott mcgrew in for marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. breaking news, more flooding on 280 near 87. i say more because there's a problem last week. >> exactly. just one day over a week ago. i promised we would look at the bay bridge. back-up with metering lights, that is standard. the big issue, laura, as you said down in the south bay. either side are okay but 280 slowdown showing on our speed sensors because of the flooding and closure, south 280. there have been changes there. i want to note folks coming down 280 and expected to take 87, you can't do that. get off 880. you probably do that anyway and make your way sjc. this may affect folks who

normally don't take this route in sjc. because of the flooding, kris sanchez out there. one lane is closed? >> now we know two lanes are closed. we saw chp officers taking the flares out one more lane. they tell us the water is starting to creep farther on 280. like you said 87 is not accessible, not in the northbound or southbound direction. folks might be familiar with reroutes they are talking about. they are saying seriously again this happened twice last week. what we know about the reason for this is this is a spot where there is naturally accumulating groundwater. in order to make sure that's not a problem caltrans built in a pump to take groundwater off the roadway to make sure it doesn't land on the roadway. last week the pump failed. turns out it wasn't broken, bad circuit breaker and crews able

to flip the switch in the pump house down the way where they are doing work. chp tells me the work is still continuing and chp or caltrans crews might be able to get out here and do the same thing, reset the switch and get that pump going once again. we don't know for sure if that's the problem but that is the speculation at this point. caltrans isn't here yet. we have been in communication. this could be a very difficult commute. on the upside silver lining, you might be familiar with detours, like we said, this is our time in two weeks. we'll stay out here and update you here on twitter and on facebook as well and on n nbcbayarea.c nbcbayaro "today in the bay." nice morning but things will change over the weekend. let's check in with kari. >> cool around the bay area. mostly cloudy skies, a live look outside in san francisco with showers close to the coast. but so far we're starting out
