good sunday morning. it is 7:00 on the nose. happy father's day. take a live look outside, this is walnut creek. it's a comfortable start to the day and i think we have slightly warmer temperatures on tap. slightly, according to vianey. good morning, i'm chris chmura, sitting in this morning for kira klapper. vianey, let's take a look at the slightly warmer microclimate. >> a little bit, mainly for the inland areas. around the coast or in the city this is what you'll see for pretty much the entire day. i think probably around 2:00, 3:00, we have more peeks of sunshine. a live look at the golden gate bridge we have a marine layer.
7:01 am
the sea breeze kept our temperatures cooler yesterday. yesterday was the coolest day we'll see so far this week. today a little bit warmer, but that's going to set us up for even hotter temperatures ahead. we have the high pressure that's going to start to dry us out today and i did bring down the temperatures just a little bit compared to where it had been yesterday morning because the models right now were trending a little too warm. i brought them down into the upper 70s, concord 82, so as far as the main temperature difference, i would say two to three degrees. not a huge rise in temperatures but again, by tomorrow and into tuesday, we're tracking again that high pressure, where we'll be seeing 80s and 90s again. i'll have a look at that of course coming up in 15 minutes. >> 65 in san francisco. >> right now. >> so much cooler than it was a week ago. >> i know. >> vianey, thank you. we look forward to that forecast. they paid for their gas, drove off and their cars stopped dead. several drivers in the east bay tell us that's what happened to them when they all went to the same gas station.

"today in the bay's" thom jensen has a story you'll see only on nbc bay area. >> reporter: one island of gas pumps remains closed at the shell station on the corner of newark boulevard and jarvis avenue after several drivers say they filled up and broke down, in some cases just minutes after leaving the station. >> i'm sitting at the red light, the car just starts chugging and it was just, it was unusual. it was unusual. and the light turned green and as i put my foot on the gas, the engine just, i got a little bit of acceleration and the engine just went. >> reporter: robert mokrey was confronted by other drivers who also pumped regular unleaded gas at the shell station and then experienced complete engine failure. >> got out of the car and one of the guys comes up to me and goes "did you just get gas across the
7:03 am
street?" "yeah." >> reporter: the drivers shared notes, pictures and videos and started a facebook group. mokrey said the fuel he pulled out of his tank would not light. the owner pledged to do the right thing and pay their mechanic bills. >> you can appreciate from the people that are all affected, we just want to get -- it's an inconvenience, right, we just want to get our cars repaired and back as soon as we can. >> reporter: thom jensen, "nbc bay area news." lanes in both directions reopened on 101 in palo alto after two separate crashes. chp officers tell us at least one person died and several people were sent to the hospital. the chp says the first crash was just after 2:00 a.m., when a wrong-way driver in the northbound lanes hit another car head-on. the wrong-way driver died at the scene. the other driver was seriously

fireworks. >> fire crews quickly attacked the flames keeping them from burning any of the nearby homes. they soaked the area with foam to make sure there are no flare-ups. joe bass and his son heard what they believe started the fire. >> we heard a big boom, fireworks going off. >> i kind of jumped from the noise and then later on we heard screams and we saw everyone headed down this way. >> reporter: he says he used a garden hose to try to protect his neighbor's house. the contra costa county fire department says it does look as if fireworks are the cause of this. they do not have any suspects, and they remind people that all fireworks are illegal in the county. liz showed us how the fire burned right up to one of the walls of her house. firefighters tore through it to make sure the flames didn't get inside. when she saw the fire approaching, she scrambled to get everyone out to safety. >> i was going to get my house out, in the wheelchair, and so i just, i panicked kind of like because i was nervous, because went into overdrive, check all
7:06 am
the rooms, make sure the kids were out of the rooms. >> reporter: all ten people made it out safely but her backyard fence is destroyed. the biggest concern from residents is how fast the fire moved, because of how dry everything is. >> everything is dead now, after all the rain, everything, vegetation is overgrown, you know, hopefully california doesn't burn like it did last year. >> reporter: sergio quintana, n "nbc bay area news." new details about a water main break in sausalito. water spilled into buildings and onto roads. one of the northbound lanes bridgeway is still closed. for fighters spent the night clearing water from buildings. repairs are expected to begin sometime this afternoon. the lane closure could last a couple days. american airlines is trying to get back to normal after an equipment issue triggered massive backups at sfo. dozens of people took to twitter yesterday to complain about waiting more than four hours just to get to the ticket counter. many say they missed their flights, including a father and
7:07 am
daughter trying to get to france for the world cup. american airlines says the problems began when several of the airport's x-ray machines stopped working. many passengers told us they will have to wait until today to get out. >> we realize this is a surprise, nothing is happening. the line-up was just not moving, and so yeah, now they redirected us to a new flight for tomorrow morning. >> american airlines says the problem is resolved, and it is working to re-book passengers who missed flights. a matter of life and death. that's how house speaker nancy pelosi is describing the nation's health care debate. she and other california politicians are in san francisco for the health care for all americans weekend. she also called out senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying he should let the senate vote on the issue. >> all we're saying to senator mcconnell is give us a vote. do your job, right, jackie? right, michael?
7:08 am
do your job, give us a vote. the american people uerstand what this means. >> pelosi says among the work that needs to be done is improving the affordable care act. yesterday marked the seventh anniversary of the deferred action for childhood arrival initiative better known as daca. instead of sleeb grating, many dreamers are worried about the uncertainty of their futures. speakerel is promising humane reform. the house passed the act and the senate has yet to bring the legislation up for a vote. a first of its kind job fair in the south bay this weekend, specifically for the transgender community. santa clara county sponsored it. the county is looking for people who serve as public defenders, firefighters and such. state labor statistics show transgender californians face an unemployment rate that is twice

7:10 am
7:11 am
if it's sunday, it's time for our weekly chat with chuck todd. nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press," good morning, chuck. >> hey, good morning, chris. >> so the president this week
7:12 am
said he would accept information on his opponent from a foreign government during the 2020 election. did anything about washington's reaction surprise you? >> well, it didn't in this sense, democrats had the predictable outrage and being upset about it. they tried to use the moment to bring some attention to a bill that they've not been able to get past. congress has not been able to do it, either a standalone bill or a larger one, sort of having to reinforce a few of our laws to at least make it harder for foreign interference, perhaps even make it a mandatory that somebody has to report attempted sbmps interference to the fbi in response to the donald trump jr. meeting. it was interesting to watch the republicans. while they did not criticize the president they made it clear they'd never do this, they'd go to the fbi immediately. so it does show you sort of how off the rails washington is, that something like this which
7:13 am
seems to be fairly easy bipartisan, they can't seem to get the bill passed. maybe they don't want to see if the president would sign it or not, it's not clear but that's still where this is. but the president, republicans have sort of learned to tune the president out on these things, and they just hope this goes away, and what's the pattern in the trump era, ever since he came down the escalator, whatever the outrage is at the end of one week, there's a new one the next day. >> what do you think the odds are the republican response or reaction or perspective on this evolves? >> i think, you know, like anything, it's when somebody's, you know, if they're the victim of it, too, you know, and i think that they were during the 2016 campaign, people forget that cruz and rubio there were efforts by russians aparentally to hack into their campaigns so it was there. there seems to be a larger bipartisan consensus. the president, for whatever reason, doesn't like to admit
7:14 am
the russians did anything at times. maybe it's vanity, maybe it's something else, maybe he just doesn't want to admit he needed help. whatever it is, it has made it politically untenable for republicans to feel comfortable publicly voting against him on this. >> let's talk about the democrats for a minute. two weeks or so away from the democrat debate. >> yep. >> stage is set here. what do you expect? >> well, i expect fewer fireworks from the top. a lot of people think the first debate and everybody's been itching to do things. the top tier candidates will have soft jabs at each other. all of them know this is a first debate, about first impressions. you and i may be following the race closely, millions of people tuning in, this is the first time they've had interaction with the candidates but i will say this, the unpredictability comes from the one percenters or the people that have been fading a bit of late because they may look at this moment, they have
7:15 am
one or two shots to get back into the game and they may view this as that shot. the unpredictability factor comes from all of those lesser-known candidates on the stage who will feel the need to make the most out of their moment. >> you got nothing to lose, right? >> supposedly. we shall see on that. >> all right, chuck, thanks very much. be sure to join chuck for this morning's "meet the press" "meet the press." he'll have interviews with democratic presidential candidate, mayor pete buttigieg and representative steve scalise. "meet the press" starts after this newscast at 8:00 a.m. o.j. simpson says he has a little getting even to do. >> for years, people have been able to say whatever they wanted to say about me with no accountability. >> the former football star and acquitted murder suspect has launched a twitter account on the 25th anniversary of the murders of his ex-wife and her
7:16 am
friend. nicole brown simpson and ron goldman were stabbed to death in june 1994. simpson now says on twitter he's got some things to straighten out, that's a quote. simpson was ultimately acquitted of the crime, after a televised trial that riveted the nation. the murder case, by the way, remains officially listed as unsolved. honoring bravery in the south bay. the flame of liberty memorial was unveiled yesterday at the los gatos civic center. it was seven years in the making. the memorial honored u.s. military, first responders, and september 11th heroes, including two los gatos high school graduates, todd beamer and mark bingham. they died in a heroic effort to stop hijackers aboard united airlines flight number 93 on september 11th. the hijackers had aimed for the u.s. capitol but instead that plane, after a struggle, crashed into a field in pennsylvania. if you're looking for a job,
7:17 am
the chase center is hiring. the warriors and the chase center held a job readiness training event for young adults yesterday. the purpose? to get potential candidates ready for the chase center job fair, which are next weekend. the fairs will only feature jobs at the waterfront arena. people interested in those fairs can also visit the chase center website for more information. tim cook will be the commencement speaker at stanford's graduation ceremony today. the ceo of apple has become a prominent voice on ethick ethi tech and business at large. cook met with president trump three days ago to reportedly discuss jobs training. cook's visit comes as trump threatens to impose tariffs on about $300 billion worth of goods imported from china, including apple's flagship iphone. today's graduation ceremony at stanford begins at 9:30 at the stadium. how is the weather going to be for an outdoor graduation today?
7:18 am
>> pretty good. it's not going to be too hot. it will be partly cloudy but that always makes for good lighting for all those folks. >> that's right. i was at san jose state's graduation, and it was so sunny, the light was harsh and the sweat was pouring. >> you're squinting your eyes to see from the sun but partly cloudy skies from what i've been told from the photog. >> flat play is what we call it, perfect. >> the temperatures are comfortable unless you're inland. we will be seeing a slight warmup. right now in the south bay 58 degrees. peninsula 54. tri-valley 55, and it's cloudy for the first half of the day. if you're hanging out on the peninsula or in san francisco, you're going to notice that we may not get as much sunshine as in one area, so if you are looking for a slightly warmer temperature, make your drive on further into the interior valley. the north bay right now 52 degrees. 56 for the east bay. and your microclimate highs for today are going to be topping out in those mid-60s. so this is actually a little bit more comfortable or a lot more
7:19 am
comfortable compared to the temperatures we saw early last week. san jose will top out in the upper 70s at 78 degrees. morgan hill 79, in through concord 82. antioch 80 degrees, livermore 81. this is going to set us up already for that warming trend, so yesterday it was really cool, some areas only topped out in the 70s, and into tomorrow, we have that high pressure that's rolling in, but we're still going to get a chance to enjoy the cooler nice sea breeze in through tonight, especially along the coast. in san francisco the winds are light, 6 miles per hour. a lot of the breeze is helping to keep daytime highs cool. if you're driving near the north bay right now or in through the santa cruz mountain areas, some parts are seeing a good combination of low clouds and also of course that fog rolling through. let's talk about father's day forecast, again at the coast or the bay, expect comfortable weather by about 10:00 a.m., we'll be at 59 degrees and again we're going to stick to the mid
7:20 am
and maybe upper 60s at times in through some portions of the bay, but all in all, the weather will be fantastic. not just for the coast or the bay, inland. this is where we see more sunshine out there. we'll see breaks in sunshine around 1:00. we'll start to see some of the clouds make way for some sun, and by 2:00, we'll be topping out in the upper 70s. a couple of low 80s might be possible. if you are taking dad out to lunch, expect to be enjoying some sunshine outdoors hopefully. by monday/tuesday, this is where changes are on the way. by monday night, we got the high pressure that's rolling in, and notice what happens in san francisco. we start to climb up into the 70s and any time high pressure starts to dry us out, that also increases fire danger, so we'll be monitoring that closely because there's a lot of dry brush out there which makes one area a concern. by monday in through the inland areas, temperatures will warm up into the upper 80s and we're expecting some of the hottest days this week to be on tuesday and wednesday in the low 90s.
7:21 am
enjoy this lovely cooler father's day weekend. chris? >> thank you, vianey. there is much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, how a bay area woman is taking a surplus on the peninsula, and is helping the children of her hawaiian hometown. it's the latest in our "bay area proud" series. next.

7:24 am
good. if there is anyone out there should know to be careful what she wishes for, it might be may rose. last year, may rose, who lives in redwood city wanted to help the elementary school in the small hawaiian counsel of kekaha where she grew up. she set a goal of collecting 500 books for their library. she ended up with 5,000. >> when they started seeing the books come in, and they opened the boxes, and they looked at the books, and they heard the stories about the families dropping off books, yeah, i mean, it made them feel loved and special. >> reporter: so when may rose learned this year that elementary schools in redwood city were merging, and would have a surplus of library books as a result -- >> i put an email and thought why not ask? what are you going to do with the books? >> reporter: they decided to give them to may rose, all 40,000 of them.
7:25 am
>> the moral of the story, be careful for what you ask for. i'm overwhelmed. i -- yeah, 40,000 books. >> reporter: may rose's summer plans are now set, packing and shipping the books to hawaii. this time, she plans to spread the wealth, veterans on the island are building free little libraries and many of her books will go to stock those. >> we're trying to get as many as we can. >> reporter: to be honest, may rose isn't sure she'll be able to take all 40,000 books. >> i want those, too. >> reporter: what she does know is how the children in small hawaiian towns and villages all over the island will feel about getting them. that she has seen written all over their faces. >> so the kids in hawaii, it's going to be something as simple as there are people out there thinking about us. we're not forgotten, which means a lot. >> as you saw, that is a lot of
7:26 am
books, and may rose has a little help so far, but she could use more. if you're interested in helping her pack boxes of books this summer, just send me a message to my facebook page, garvin thomas nbc bay area and i'll get word to her you're looking to help. garvin thomas, "nbc bay area news." there is much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, target stores across the country paralyzed for hours. we'll explain how the department store is explaining the meltdown at the registers. and why paper b.a.r.t. tickets will soon become a thing of the past. each morning,

7:29 am
>> not bad. >> just a couple of degrees. it's not going to get too hot outside. pretty comfortable. >> i'm chris chmura, sitting in for kira klapper. a good day for father's day, vianey? >> definitely a good day. whether your dad likes to grill outside and a good barbecue or inside, either way you'll be fine. this shot of the golden gate bridge, notice definitely cloudy, we have that marine layer, keeping our temperatures sort of cool right now, 55 degrees in san francisco. 53 in half moon bay. 52 in santa rosa. now, as we head in towards the afternoon, we are expecting just a couple of degrees of a warmup into inland areas. so all in all, by about 11:00 a.m., more sunshine peeking through. a lot of the cloud cover will break apart inland and top out in the upper 70s, couple low 80s in store. hanging out around the coastline the sun is slower to peek through. we'll keep the cloud cover
7:30 am
through 12:00/1:00 and a good mix of sun and clouds, but still the clouds will definitely be a factor. that's going to help keep our temperatures more like san francisco, right, in the bay, 65, 66, but it's the start of the work week tracking the return of the 90s, they're coming back. >> so enjoy the comfortable temperatures while you have them. >> i think dads will like this. >> thanks very much, vianey. imagine you pay for your gas, you drive off and then your car stops dead. that's what several drivers say happened to them in the east bay and all went to the same gas station. they are estimating the damage to their vehicles and wondering what did they put in their tanks?

are too comfortable with out-we are videoed, tracked and data mined. do we need robot regular ligs? scott budman looks for answers. >> reporter: they patrol and they shoot video but when these security cameras see us, are they also making decisions about us? >> there could be a lot of bias in those decisions. >> the aclu is worried about artificial intelligence and how the data it collects could be used to profile us. >> from demographic information, race, sex, gender, age, to the clothes that we wear, the products we're carrying and on and on and on. >> reporter: the group is asking for new transparency rules, so people better understand what's being collected when they're on camera. that way they say our personal information is less likely to be used as a weapon. >> once they have my video, what's going to happen after that? i have no idea. maybe my insurance company, maybe my health insurance will

7:52 am
great. now into the workweek we have changes ahead and i'll explain what those are, coming up.
7:53 am
7:54 am
it's 7:54, happy father's day. let's talk about what you can expect while you're celebrating dad today. it's a little cloudy right now to start. temperatures in the 50s. really throughout the entire bay area, 58 degrees right now in the south bay, the peninsula, 54. we get a little bit of that sea breeze once again through the afternoon. the tri-valley is at 55 degrees.
7:55 am
san francisco right now 53 degrees and look how cloudy the east bay is looking, 56 degrees. north bay 52. so if you enjoyed yesterday's weather you'll enjoy today's weather as well. we notice a couple of degrees warmer in through the inland areas. i want to show you the 24-hour temperature. we don't have any huge changes for our daytime highs right now, that is, waking up, we're pretty similar to where we were at yesterday and we have the marine layer rolling through. your daytime highs through the afternoon, this is what we are expecting, 65 degrees in san francisco. 59 degrees in half moon bay. oakland 69. santa rosa 76, and this is where the warmer areas will be, concord 82, livermore 81. down through the south bay talking upper 70s. so certainly going to be okay without ac. this might be the month where your bill might be more expensive because even though we caught a break from the heat this weekend, changes are ahead that might require you to turn the ac back on.
7:56 am
by tomorrow evening we get the high pressure that's going to dry us out, and when that happens, it's also going to warm us up so 68 degrees in san francisco for tomorrow, and notice by tuesday, that's when we might see a warmer space. we climb into the 70s for san francisco and by wednesday, these begin to trend a little bit more comfortable in through the 60s for the following weekend. now, inland areas, this is where we'll see some of our warmest spots. we have 83 degrees. 83, 84, highs for today. by tomorrow the temperatures will increase by as much as 5, 6 degrees. check out tuesday and wednesday, where we'll see the return of the 90s and that's where we're monitoring the dangerous fire weather conditions, because any time that we have high pressure what that does is also brings down that humidity and low humidity paired with hot temperatures any sort of breeze whatsoever makes the potential for some pretty dangerous conditions out there. at least we've been enjoying a very great weekend. we had only 70s yesterday, and then we begin to trend a little
