ro santa rosa 63 degrees and san francisco reaching the upper 50s today. we're in between weather systems, the clouds and the storms that we had that brought us all of that hail, that was sunday, and we are now seeing that still spinning across southern california. we also see a cold front approaching from the north, but this rain that we are seeing now will fizzle out before it gets here, and we're only looking at a few spotty showers farther to the north, so if you are around ukiah and parts of mendocino county, expect a slight chance of rain, while the rest of the bay area sees more clouds moving in, some gusty winds, it will be our main concern going into the afternoon will be the gusty winds. going hour by hour with your wind speed forecast, this shows the number with wind speeds in miles per hour and san francisco at 10:30 this morning may have those winds coming in from the northwest at about 24 miles per hour. we're also looking at some high winds along the coast, in some of our hills, at about the potential of up to 30 to 35

miles per hour today, even up to 40 for half moon bay, as we go in through the 5:00 to 6:00 hours. so it's going to be very windy there. that may knock down some trees, so that's something i'll be watching, as we go throughout the day. after that, no concerns. the winds calm down, our temperatures warm up, and we'll get much more sunshine, going into the end of the week. look at the weekend numbers. 70 degrees on saturday, 73 on sunday, and we still see that continuing into the start of next week. for san francisco, gusty winds today, more clouds, and then before you know it, we'll have finally some spring-like weather across the bay area. mike, you're getting some more reports coming in. >> that's right, updates on the scattered reports we had last time, 85 that incident cleared, the slow rolling vehicle cleared without any further incident, and that's good news. nobody crashed into that slow-moving vehicle. dublin interchange indeed, all lanes are cleared for west 580, approaching 680 and kari showed you earlier that live shot, smooth-moving traffic there.

that's the height that the council will consider this afternoon, and how it would change the skyline. building heights could go up to 35 feet higher downtown. construction could be up to 150 feet higher near diridon station. the city estimates a $4.4 billion increase in construction value, which would eventually lead to $5.5 million a year more in property taxes. it could also mean some changes for air traffic down the road. now the city did ask the ten passenger airlines serving mineta san jose, plus fedex and u.p.s. to weigh in. they expected minimal impact to their operations with the higher skyline limit under consideration. today the faa also weighed in on this plan. the city is also considering creating a fund to help mitigate any financial impact that some of those airlines might feel, as the skyline starts to change, that will be under discussion. all of this happening at 1:30

collision. long told them he was driving to google. officers let mountain view police know what was happening and also got another call from police in maine, just before 1:00 p.m. sunday, officers spotted long's truck on 101, about a mile from google plex. they arrested him and found three baseball bats in his truck. >> 5:35. a man on death row for a richmond murder, more than four decades ago is found dead in his prison cell. officials announcing ronald bell and three other inmates were pronounced dead friday night at a california state prison in king's county. the cause of their death has not been determined. bell had the second longest tenure on death row, after california reinstated capital punishment in 1978. 5:35 and a follow-up in the cleanup efforts in the north bay after historic flooding swept through. the board of supervisors will vote on approving nearly $3 million to go towards repairs. recent winter storms caused the russian river to spill over.

reports transportation experts say the levee and roads need improvements in the area. drivers are hoping the board can come up with money without the toll. >> they should be able to afford it, you know. if they want to fix it, they could fix it. there are some roads that are messed up. they can fix it, you know? it's just annoying. it's frustrating. >> reporter: one expert tells the "independent journal" that the area is sinking and this problem needs to be addressed. so this meeting starts at 9:30 today and of course, this is a major connection to the east bay, sonoma, and napa counties so a lot of people will be watching this one. reporting live in marin county, i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay" >> thanks so much for that update. and mike, another plaza, i don't know, what do you think? >> like you said it's not going to be a popular one but you got to pay for something and we have less gas tax because we have hybrids and electrical vehicles so we've got to change with the times and we have to adapt to the needs, so there we go. i don't like paying either. over here toward dublin,

of that structure there. we know this is a one alarm blaze in a neighborhood near treat boulevard and oak grove road. so far, no reports of injuries there. later today, you can weigh in on a battle over what some say is a racist school name in the north bay. in marin county the dixie school district is holding a public meeting on the issue at 4:30 this morning. it's a story we've covered on "today in the bay" for weeks now. the debate centers around the word "dixie" and whether it's offensive. the board of trustees is considering two possible alternative names and is expected to make a final decision next month. the dixie school district covers northern san rafael and is one of the oldest school districts in marin county. new for you this morning, california is taking action to make sure that you're helped out quickly in an imagine. the state is planning to overhaul all of its call centers with a new technology called rapid deploy. the new call cloud-based system

is expected to help improve location accuracy. currently roughly half of all of its calls that come in to 911 centers do not have a dispatchable address attached to them. that new system will also help with natural disaster awareness for responders by providing live data feeds for fires, earthquakes, flooding, traffic, and internet. if the early signs are any indication, californians will be in out in force for next year's presidential election. california secretary of state alex padilla says more than 20 million people are registered to vote across our state, makes up just under 80% of the state's total eligible voters. it is also california's highest number of registered voters in 23 years. today the city of san francisco is taking steps to assist federal workers if a partial government shutdown happens this year. mayor london breed is among those sponsoring an ordinance that would allow up to $20 million in loans made available for federal workers. it's possible that the city could partner with banks and

other financial institutions to get the money. and when is a cut not a cut? >> scott mcgrew, the president wants to reduce medicare's budget by hundreds of billions of dollars. >> a reduction, not a cut. no matter what term you use though, the president's new budget definitely sends hundreds of billions of dollars less to medicare, which would seem to violate one of trump's biggest campaign promises. remember, over and over, he said he would not cut medicare. here is a tweet back when he was running in the primary against mike huckabee. "i was the first and only potential gop candidate to state there will be no cuts to social security, medicare and medicaid. huckabee copied me." but the white house argues this morning it's going to crack down on waste and fraud, so medicare is going to cost less money and senior also never notice their health care plan was "reduced." >> he's not cutting medicare in this budget. what we are doing is putting forward reforms that lower drug

prices that, because medicare pays is a very large share of drug prices in this country, has the impact of finding savings. we're also finding waste, fraud and abuse but medicare spending will go up every single year by healthy margins and no structural changes. >> except for $800 billion over ten years not going into it. speaker of the house nancy pelosi startled her own party saying she's not interested in impeaching the president. "not for impeachment" she said. the announcement came as part of an interview with "the washington post" where the speaker said she was making news and unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, i don't think we should go down that path, because it divides the country, and he's not worth it." that leaves pelosi a pretty big hole. she can walk right back through, if the mueller report, for instance, indicates president trump committed crimes. but pelosi also knows impeachment is only practical if a significant number of republicans join the effort. remember, democrats wanted to impeeve richard nixon pretty

early on but nixon's presidency wasn't doomed until members of his own party decided enough was enough. nixon of course resigned before the articles of impeachment could be enforced. we're watching everything that happens in washington, as we are every day. follow me on twitter, i' i'm @scottmcgrew. lots of birthday lately, this is for the worldwide web. it officially turns 30 today. google celebrating the big day by changing the banner on its home page. on march 12th, 1989, british computer scientist tim better thanners lee submitted a proposal that was the basis for the worldwide web. the response was "vague but exciting." the web was made available to the public in 1993. i remember the first time i got on the internet. it was like, what is this? it was really interesting. the information super highway. >> the information super highway. >> right, i remember logging on toe aol, rrrr.

>> exactly. >> program submitted to my lab. the weather for us today, nice and dbright. >> nice and bright but there won't be as much sunshine as we've seen. temperatures as you step out the door, upper 30s in napa, 40 in santa rosa and 39 in livermore and low 50s in san francisco. temperatures are all over the place. as we head out, it's going to be a chilly start in pleasant hill, up to about 45 degrees but look at the temperatures rising, going throughout the day at noon we're 60 degrees and mostly sunny there. as you start out getting dressed, it's going to be a day where you need a jacket for the early hours, and then maybe some light short sleeves for the rest of the day, and pants will also be a good option. now here's the storm that brought us the rain and the hail, along with those thunderstorms on sunday. it is still spinning across southern california and we also have a cold front approaching from the north, and we are right

in between, still seeing our clear skies, but that will change as this cold front moves in. a lot of the rain that we're seeing moving in will start to fizzle out, but there will be some slight rain chances farther to the north, while the rest of the bay area sees more clouds moving in, and the winds picking up, too. so as we go into the rest of the day, it's not once again as clear as it was yesterday, but overall, a fairly nice day, and slightly cooler than normal temperatures. and then the only concern will be those gusty winds that will pick up, so here is our hour-by-hour forecast. the numbers show the wind speeds in miles per hour. we go through 11:00 and our winds are rushing in from the northwest at about 30 miles per hour for the coast. inland areas with wind speeds at about 15 to 20. but it will pick up as we go through 3:00 to 4:00, even up to 40-mile-per-hour gusts for half moon bay. so i'm watching out for that, along with some high waves along the coast, and then for the inland areas, we'll also get some pretty gusty winds.

looking at the rest of the forecast, more sunshine, highs that will be warming up as we go through the rest of the week. check out that weekend forecast, it's been a long time since we've had weather this nice, and this warm, too, with some low 70s from saturday through at least next monday, and we will see more dry weather into at least the start of next week. mike, you have some good news at the bay bridge. >> i do. it's all relative. behind me there's the backup but look at it from the traffic standpoint because that's my job. we're looking at the fast track lanes with the biggest backup and that is visibly moving. the cash lanes are less stacked up. this is 5:51, approaching 6:00, we should see all lanes packed up on a tuesday. the overcrossing does indicate a good volume of traffic coming in out of the east bay, but off of the maze we only have a bit of slowing, we don't have a lot of backup coming off of 24 or the east shore freeway. that's good news. a lighter volume overall holds up for the speeds just slowing

for highway 4 up here through concord, pittsburg and bay point. we have slowing also through hayward, south 880 from 238 down past the san mateo bridge, and also a little build over here for the tri-valley for 680 south, as you head down off the dublin interchange. things are moving nicely. back here, we have a problem coming out of tracy, west 580 grant line road, i hear about a pothole repaired yesterday but now starting to break up again so there's a big pothole across the second lane as you are coming into the area that affects both sides of tracy, across the san mateo bridge to the peninsula, it's getting more popular. back to you, marcus. >> thanks, mike. happening right now, tokyo getting ready for the 2020 olympics. just a few hours ago, the pictograms for the sport came out, the special logos they use for every single sport. since the olympics are such an international event, fans use the pictograms to make sure they're headed to the right event. remember, you can only watch the olympics right here on nbc bay area. >> 5:52.

>> the high school has among the highest reported vaping in all of contra costa. it's no coincidence that the rise of youth smoking goes hand in hand with the availability of flavored tobacco products. >> the flavors and in this case menthol and tobacco products allows the poisons to go down easier. >> a number of other bay area cities already banned the selling of flavored tobacco. the ordinance will go before the city council for its first reading next month. 5:57 and new this morning, five california teachers are suing the state's top teachers union. the lawsuit seeks to stop the union from collecting dues through mandatory paycheck deductions. it is in a series of similar legal challenges filed across the country. as of june, the u.s. supreme court ruled government workers cannot be required to contribute to labor groups. the teachers say the paycheck deduction violates their first amendment rights. next month, sean spicer coming to berkeley.

the former white house press secretary is set to speak next month. spicer will be one of the first high-profile speakers booked on campus. since the berkeley college republican settled a lawsuit with the administration, the lawsuit itself stemmed from riots back in 2017 related to scheduled appearances by other conservative speakers. new details this morning on an unusual crime spree that is sweeping fresno county. dozens of goats are missing. >> thieves making off with more than 60 over the past two months. according to "l.a. times," all of those animals are worth around $27,000. four of the stolen goats were recovered on sunday. police believe the goats are being stolen at night, and possibly for food. digging deeper for you, we've seen cases of goat theft here in the bay area. late last year, several pregnant goats went missing from green goat landscapers in morgan hill. the family that owns the business says that the livestock trailer was stolen.

we never did find out really what happened to all of them. right now for you at 6:00, a major arrest in a brutal killing in san jose. the woman stabbed to death inside her own home, what police are saying so far about her killing. nurses on strike. two south bay hospitals will see picketers in one hour. the demands those workers are making. and all new, a baking warning, the recall that may have you checking your pantry this morning. "today in the bay" conditions right now. and good morning to you. thanks so much for starting your morning here with us. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. let's get a look at the forecast. everybody's celebrating this dry week. >> and celebrating st. patrick's day, celebrating just being in the bay area with highs in the 70s this week. yes, that's on the way, but it's still cold out there this morning. here is a live look outside in san francisco. great start to this tuesday morning, if you're on your way out the door headed to diridon station. you need a heavier jacket with temperatures in the mid-40s, but

you'll be taking that off today as our temperatures warm up, but it won't be as clear and sunny as it was yesterday. we'll talk more about that and what's ahead for the rest of the week. mike, you have a good look at the morning commute. >> i do. we'll start with our view of the altamont pass, representative flow shown here and it's not bad coming off of the merge but it is typically slow through the area, west 580 and really jams up, see this grant line road overcrossing there, right there is where there's a big pothole reported, and now your left two lanes are blocked. two left lanes are blocked coming out of the altamont and going into grant line road. there's a big pothole that's resurfaced after they had some emergency repair work yesterday. that's a problem for folks coming in and out of tracy. look how light the traffic flow is getting toward the dublin interchange, livermore, and continuing on to castro valley. some little slowing for hayward but overall, that commute is saved by the backup over in tracy, out of tracy and the rest of the bay shows a lighter volume as well. i'll show you the bay bridge coming
