yesterday in some of our inland valleys. let's get out the door this morning with some upper 50s in pleasant hill. if you are headed to the b.a.r.t. station it will be a cool morning but warng up, at noon we're at 77 degrees. here is a look at our high temperatures today with the tri-valley reaching the mid 80s. 90 in antioch and 93 in ukiah. it will be some warmer spots while we keep the 60s along the coast. we'll talk about what's ahead for the weekend coming up in a few minutes but vianey is getting you a look at the early morning commute. >> it is 6:00 a.m. and i don't have a lot to report, you guys, which back home i think that's a pleasant sound for you. speed sensors throughout, take a look at the east bay, 880, typically slow around this time, not to worry about it today. so let's look at how your bridge drive times are doing, westbound 80 toward the bay bridge nine minutes. westbound 84 toward the dumbarton bridge, also nine minutes, so let's look at how our live cams are doing throughout. the incline we have a couple
6:01 am
cars out on the roads but again, we haven't had any big accidents. we had two fender benders, one in fremont, one in the south bay, those cleared out quickly and dublin seems to be building the most commute so if that is your commute head out now. back to you. >> thanks, vianey. the shaking continues in southern california, this is after yesterday's 6.4 earthquake in mojave desert. >> a little after 4:00 this morning there was a 5.4 aftershock that hit the same area, that is the strongest aftershock yet in the almost 20 hours since yesterday's quake. "today in the bay's" roz plater is here now the latest developments. good morning, roz. >> good morning. as daylight comes folks were expected to gather at the walmart in ridgecrest to pick up emergency supplies, that's what they've been doing last night and into this morning. look at the seismograph here, this is what happened the shaking the aftershock a little after 4:00 this morning, 5.4. very, very strong, so we're checking to see if there has been more damage. some businesses have already
6:02 am
begun the extensive task of cleaning up, after much of their merchandise hit the floor after the 6.4 quake struck about 6:30 yesterday morning. gas lines ruptures and those homes spared have a lot of cleanup to do. the mayor is asking residents to make sure they check on each other. >> making sure that everybody goes to their neighbor's house, knock on the door, make sure they're all okay, and that they seek help if they need it. >> there's also repair work to be done at the ridgecrest regional hospital where some plumbing was damaged yesterday and some residents had to be temporarily evacuated. again, all that cleanup this morning, despite those continuing aftershocks that have been going on all into the night, and again, very early this morning, with that 5.4. back to you. >> all right, thank you, roz. as we've already learned with that strong aftershock this morning the shaking is far from over in ridgecrest. since that initial magnitude 6.4 quake, you can see all of that yellow on your screen and the red.
6:03 am
the time lapse shows the main quake and all of the aftershocks that came after, some registering magnitude 3.0 or higher. >> this earthquake does not make the big one any more likely or any less likely. >> seismologists say there's about a 9% chance an earthquake stronger than a magnitude 6.4 could hit the region in the next week and 80% chance of at least a magnitude 5.0. seismologists also say back in 1982, in that same area, there is a 5.1 quake that triggered aftershocks that lasted up to six months. our team is working around the clock to bring you the latest information, when this aftershock hit this morning we sent out a silent push alert to the nbc bay area app so you'd be in the know as soon as you woke up. download the app to stay up to date. as fourth of july celebrations continue into this long holiday weekend, one of the biggest and most controversial events took place at the national mall. president trump played host.
6:04 am
"today in the bay's" craig boswell is live in washington with a closer look at the event and of course, craig, the backlash. >> and the cost. marcus, good morning. good morning, everyone. the president known for veering off script, stuck to the theme, a heavy focus on the military but it's the cost of the military hardware and the fly-overs that's being tallied up. [ cheers and applause ] fly-overs, a rare sight in washington, d.c., a key part of president trump's salute to america. as were tanks and troops. speaking from behind rain-soaked bullet proof glass the commander in chief focused on the military. >> we celebrate our history, our people, and the heroes who proudly defend our flag, the brave men and women of the united states military. ♪ >> reporter: adding up the cost
6:05 am
to the taxpayer may take some time. it's something the white house downplayed. today "the washington post" reporting combined hourly costs of some two dozen aircraft in thursday's fly-overs at more than $550,000 an hour, using defense department reimbursement rates. >> this will cost millions of dollars more to do this type of extravaganza if you will. >> save your voice. make your voice heard. >> reporter: the celebrations on the mall not without protest. the baby trump blimp making an appearance, near the white house a scuffle surrounding two people setting fire to the flag. after the president recalled the nation's beginnings -- >> on this day, 243 years ago -- >> reporter: eyes turned to the skies after dark for an extended fireworks finale. that fireworks show lasting a little more than 30 minutes, but the debate, marcus, over the cost is going to continue long after the fireworks have drifted away. back to you.
6:06 am
>> we can hear it tallying up now, craig. thank you for that report. also on capitol hill for you today is the official deadline for the white house to decide whether or not to scrap the citizenship question for the 2020 census. this week the commerce secretary said the census will be printed without it. yesterday president trump called it fake news and vowed to keep fighting it in court. last week the supreme court threw the question out and at least in the current form. opponents say asking if someone is a citizen would discourage immigrants legal or otherwise from airport participating in the census. a desperate effort to save that home on your screen that was fully engulfed in flames in the south bay. firefighters say they think illegal fireworks spart iked it. >> part of a busy night for firefighters around the bay area. "today in the bay's" pete suratos is live in contra costa county with the latest there. pete? >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and kris.

6:16 am
we just got a first snapshot on the u.s. economy with the monthly jobs report, showed 224,000 jobs were added last month, well above the estimates about 35% higher than estimates. also unemployment ticked up slightly now at 3.7%, it was at 3.6%, a big turnaround for may, with only 72,000 jobs added but so far, we have not seen the positive reaction on the markets that you might expect. we're just about ten minutes away from the opening bell. dow futures still down more than 100 points. apple's icloud is back up and running after an outage took it down for a few hours yesterday. features such as calendars, contexts and reminders are affected and issues impacting apple pay and other services. this is the second outage for icloud this year and comes after a day-long outage that affected facebook. users were unable to upload or send media files on facebook, instagram and whatsapp. and chipotle is offering free delivery so soccer fans can

6:18 am
the city is launching a program that allows drivers to pay for a ticket with pencils, pens and paper. school supplies will then be donated to students in need, so the donations must be made within 30 days of the infraction. >> i wish santa clara county would do that with speeding tickets. a fast-moving suspect leads police officers on a chase in new hampshire. if you look at your screen, the suspect is there in the middle. see it? >> go! >> stratham police department shows the officers jumping at the site of a squirrel scurrying across the floor. a few minutes later they opened the garage and tried to lure the little guy outside but the squirrel runs in a circle with officers scampering behind it. the squirrel takes cover and eventually makes a run for it. they eventually get him out. nice to see they react just like us. >> oh! >> he was on his back or something. >> he jumped. >> i would, too. >> looked like it was on him.
6:19 am
>> i know. >> we got to circle back around to that one at some point and see what was going on. i like how your stance immediately changes. >> like don't go that way, don't go that way. get out, that way! we want to get out this weekend, because the weather is going to be perfect. >> it's going to have a warm start and then a cooler finish, so we are going to have all kinds of weather and also wide range in temperatures. so let's get out the door with a live look at the golden gate bridge that was all foggy yesterday for those fireworks. we still had that cool weather where you see the tourists in town wearing the t-shirt and shorts and you're like, did you know where you were going? so take a look at the seven-day forecast, it's already up at the bottom of the screen, as you head out the door. in oakland, with some upper 50s at the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station and rising into the mid-60s by noon. we're going to say in the upper 60s here today, and then as we look at our inland areas, a little bit hotter this afternoon, with livermore reaching 85 degrees.
6:20 am
san jose is going to see a high of 82 degrees there. 72 in oaklandand napa up to 84 degrees. y make weekend plans and still a lot of places where you can see some fireworks tonight, check out the alameda county fair, this is the last weekend in pleasanton and it's going to be warm during the middle of the day but at the time of the fireworks tonight, it's going to cool off into the 60s, so bring a jacket and then there also will be some music on the square in redwood city tonight from 6:00 to 8:00 and that's also a way you can enjoy some of the comfortable weather, some breezy winds, but also some cooler air after sunset. so as we check out our forecast, we still have our same weather setup with high pressure to our west, and still very light onshore wind flow. that's going to back off today into tomorrow. slightly warmer temperatures, but then by sunday, this storm system will approach the pacific northwest and bring us some cooler temperatures from sunday through the start of next week and then we're also going to
6:21 am
have a lot more changes ahead. so our temperatures still going up and down right now, we're up, we're headed down on sunday with some breezy winds. by monday, look at that, we're starting out the new work week, a lot more people headed back to work and it's going to be up to 77 degrees in the valleys, but then look at thursday, we're going to see a spike in temperatures once again with some upper 80s, but not as many changes in san francisco, but just really windy and at times foggy with the sun peeking out every now and then. vianey, you've been tracking the roads and starting to see more slowing in a few spots. >> traffic is building, considering it's 6:21, building at a slow rate, and overall, any sort of minor crash cleared out of the south bay, the east bay. we had one in fremont, that's cleared out. you don't have to worry about that. northbound 101 from highway 85 looking at 18 minutes and northbound 280 from highway 101 to highway 85 seven minutes. i don't think you can use the excuse of traffic again today
6:22 am
considering this is what we're seeing on the roads. san mateo bridge, you didn't have to use the metering lights yesterday on the bay bridge and we don't have to worry about it today either. mass transit schedule, a quick reminder, b.a.r.t. is still on holiday schedule, they may be canceling lines due to low ridership. ace still no service for today. they didn't have service yesterday. that will continue through today. ac transit so far no delays and no delays for the vta. back to you. >> thanks, vianey. next on "today in the bay" -- >> a royal celebration, what we're learning about the private christening happening this weekend for baby archie. plus "nbc bay area responds." >> two languages and just one mission, to save you money. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.

music on the square, in redwood city, happening at courthouse square at 6:00, it's going to be 67 degrees and lower 60s so maybe a light jacket needed. as we look at our weather pattern and the setup for today and tomorrow, we will see a shift in the wind that brings us a slight offshore wind flow so that makes it feel a little bit hotter in the inland valleys but there will still be a marine layer and a cool coast. as we go into next week, the storm system starts to approach the pacific northwest and that shifts our winds. we will have a cooldown for the beginning of next week, but a lot of changes here ahead. so we're starting out up, with some low to mid 80s for today and tomorrow but then as we see that onshore wind flow, it gets breezy and much cooler on sunday into early next week, and then we'll see another warmup headed our way as we go into the end of next week, and for san francisco, not too many changes here, looks like we still keep the clouds and the fog and gusty winds, with a cooler weather there.
