5:17 am
amazing. my favorite kind of crazy. >> 5:16 for you right now. taking a look outside this morning, it's going to be another nice day for us. >> we can really enjoy the cooler weather for now, because there will be some changes ahead and we are seeing a beautiful sunrise this morning, taking a live look outside in walnut creek, as we see a few clouds rolling by. all of those clouds will start to clear out, as we go throughout the day. if you're headed out to the park early this morning, it's going to be in the upper 50s and we will see a lot of clouds passing by, but it will start to clear out later this morning with temperatures in the low 60s and at 11:00 we're at 67 degrees and at 1:00, we're only at 71 degrees. we know it's a cooler day. let's go hour by hour for all of our microclimates. we see some low 70s for the east bay valleys, while the coastal areas stay cooler, with some low 60s in san francisco, going throughout the day, we'll stay in the lower 60s while the east bay and the tri-valley as well as the delta we're seeing some
5:18 am
temperatures in the upper 70s and then it comes back down going into the evening. so a few spots will reach the low 80s. we're all spending more time outside, and if you're allergic to grass, pollen, it's moderate right now. we also have a moderate amount of tree pollen, with mostly juniper and pine as well. so we're going to have some nice and comfortable weather to start out this week, but then as we head toward the middle of the week, some changes ahead, even as that storm system clips f northern california and the pacific northwest, we'll start to see some high pressure building across the desert southwest, and that's going to cause some warmer air here in the bay area, so the winds shift direction, so we go from an onshore wind flow and cooler air to the winds blowing offshore and temperatures heating up into the mid to upper 80s by the week's end. headed into saturday and sunday, we're in the mid 80s, while san francisco will have a slight warmup. we'll just see more sunshine, and mike, you're seeing that early backup at the bay bridge. >> yes, you know, but i think
5:19 am
kari it's because a lot of folks after a holiday try to get in for the early commute and it will ease off a little bit, that's what i'm hoping today because we had this backup forming just before 5:10 this morning. it's 5:19 now. the metering lights should be turned on and the fastrak lanes are moving well. a lot of folks maybe skipped work last week or took vacation days, whatever they want to call t maybe early burst to check the email the big backup of email. no problems through most of contra costa county. the crash up at west 80 shows no problem, it'sen othe shoulder now. there was some debris in lanes should be clearing as well. some debris headed toward the dumbarton bridge toll plaza from 880, so we'll see how that fares out for fremont and newark and the south bay shows no delay. here is that drive coming in out of the altamont, there's slowing but by the time you get toward north flynn road you're at speed. good volume here. we expect slowing through the dublin interchange of course with 680, west 580.

for the last few months, almena's attorney has been doing all of the talking but today almena will give his own testimony on what led to the fire that killed 36 people at that warehouse dance party back in 2016. nbc bay area legal analyst steven clark says it's likely almena will express remorse but then point the blame at the city and the landlord. >> this is a big risk for the defense but it's a risk they need to take. the prosecution has spent the entire trial demonizing derick almena. he needs to get on the stand and explain to this jury who he is. >> this of course is not the first time he's spoken publicly since he was charged. he angered a lot of the victim's families last year when he said he would have given up his life and children's lives in order to save the victims. one of the south bay's swankier streets is going on a diet. so here's what i'm talking about. if you drive, walk or shop along north santa cruz avenue in

downtown los gatos you'll see big changes. "today in the bay's" bob redell is out there live to explain why. bob? >> reporter: marcus, north santa cruz avenue, the main drag here in los gatos, can get fairly busy especially when beach goers use this road as a shortcut to get to santa cruz via highway 17. starting today you see on the sign behind me and the next four months the city will convert the avenue in los gatos into a one-way street in the southbound direction between bachman avenue and elm street. you see on the map we put on the tv screen for you, in hopes of cutting down the traffic congestion, while bringing more people to downtown businesses. the city will also turn some of the current parking spots into outdoor restaurant seating to make it easier to walk around and give the area a more european sense of place, ideally giving the shops and restaurants here a boost. as i mentioned, the so-called road diet is a four-month experiment. you might really that san jose has seen some success with a
5:35 am
similar road diet along lincoln avenue in willow glen. reporting live here in los gatos, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, a lot of people have to get ready for that. some neighbors say they have had it with the san jose home near where four people were shot late saturday night. all four people are expected to survive but police apparently have not arrested anybody in that shooting. that shooting happened near a home on hillsdale avenue and manda drive. neighbors say it's been rented out as a short term rental since before the fourth of july weekend. they also say it's been the scene of a lot of recent rowdiness. >> i know for sure somebody shot bullets last night, for sure, and yeah, that was probably like the 12th party in a row next door. >> the neighbors say at least 50 people were partying at that home, when that shooting took place. police are now hoping surveillance video from nearby homes can help provide some leads. this morning two families are out of their homes after a fire ripped through two houses
5:36 am
in contra costa county, this happened on old rogers ranch court in pleasant hill yesterday. firefighters say the fire started between the two homes and then quickly spread in both directions, but they don't know what sparked those flames. neighbors watched nervously, hoping that that fire would not spread even more. they're relieved that those families are save. safe. >> from like a little tiny fire to like in a matter of two minutes. >> so we knew we were working against the clock when we got here. >> firefighters say it looks like both homes are a total loss. while the families are okay, one firefighter was sent to the hospital with an ankle injury. chp is investigating what caused a car to smash into two mobile homes, briefly sparking a nearby grass fire in contra costa county. this happened last night at the rancho diablo mobile home park in pacheco. a man who lives in one of the homes said he had to rescue a woman and a child from the car after the crash. their injuries are not life-threatening.
5:37 am
firefighters say the car took out a nearby electrical box, sparking that fire. trending for this morning it's croc man, an action figure going viral after a twitter user from the uk tweeted out a photo. dozens of other users went to the platform saying they're terrified and disush turbed by . crocman is an official croc merchandise item. the picture had more than 150,000 likes and retweets and that is because people love crocman and mike, i think we should come together and think of a song for it. ♪ who is the thing that makes your feet look good ♪ ♪ crockman crockman that's great, well ventilated, absolutely. marcus is a big fan. over in the same color as crocman we have most of the bay green. unfortunately, we need a superhero to clear this up, at least a super quick crew there. already have cleared one lane of west 84, that's the dumbarton
5:38 am
bridge, still there for westbound, the droes acroirecti the dumbarton bridge from fremont and newark. they can hopefully clear another lane that would leave one big distraction, the san mateo bridge or west 237, still a great option for you to avoid all that jam between fremont and east palo alto, menlo park and the facebook side where their campus is. the bay bridge is an option but the backup at the toll plaza pretty sizeable. you probably want to avoid that. there's the north bay. we're just picking up the volume through san rafael. >> at least they're moving. right? all right, we are already looking forward to the weekend, because we know you like to plan. it's summer, after all and you got to get out there and enjoy it. >> we want some pool weather. okay, we've got it. >> not cool, hot. >> warmer weather. >> in the 90s so that's good. >> not too bad. >> i know, right? >> 70s today which i think is a little too cool for swimming but
5:39 am
then by this weekend, we'll be in the mid 80s, mostly sunny skies. we do still stay cool in san francisco at times some clouds drifting by, and even the fog to start out each day. if you're going to be in the tri-valley we have some 90s there, up to 91 degrees on friday and saturday. sunday up to 88 degrees, and then if you're going to santa cruz, as we talked about, you can't cut through los gatos, we're going to be in the mid-70s for saturday as well as sunday, and still some snow on the ground in squaw valley, but we have a nice and warm weekend ahead there. we'll talk about what's going on today with our temperature trend in three minutes. >> thanks, kari. coming up, it's the annual running of the bulls, it was not without some injuries this year. what we're learning about one local man what was caught in danger. plus what iran is threatening this morning, and how america will respond. we'll walk you through it when "today in the bay" continues.

that leave therea lasting impression. like the feeling of movement as a new journey begins, or the sight of soft fur, warmed by the morning sun. you might remember new flavours, or a view that defies all expectations. these are the memories that stay with you, long after the moments have passed.
5:42 am
♪ try my $4.99 barbeque bacon double cheeseburger combo. good monday morning. at 5:42, we're eight minutes away from sunrise but we start out with mostly cloudy skies so it's a little harder to tell. as we take a live look at our temperature, we're going to be in the low 60s to start this morning, and then some mid-70s today. get out there and enjoy the cooler weather. we'll talk about what else' ahead for the rest of the week, in less than five minutes. >> we have the alert for the dumbarton bridge, westbound the commute direction jammed up
5:43 am
headed over in toward menlo park, east palo alto. your alternate the top of the screen the san mateo bridge. although the sensors are green we see more traffic because it's that time. we'll see how this affects your flow throughout the east bay. new details for you this morning. a san francisco man is among three people who were gored in spain during the running of the bulls. it happened yesterday and that 46-year-old man is now in grave condition after undergoing emergency surgery. the bull run draws 1 million dare devils from around the world every year. 5:43. starbucks leaders are personally turning down the heat after an exchange in arizona involving a barista and police officers. >> the company yesterday issued an apology after six tempe police officers were told to move from where they were standing in a tempe starbucks. a barista told them a customer felt uncomfortable with their presence. the officers chose to leave
5:44 am
rather than move. that controversy lit up social media with #dumpstarbucks. customers say they don't think the officers did anything wrong. >> there's no apparent problem they were causing, so nobody should be asked to leave if all they're doing is just having a cup of coffee. that's what they have a right to do there. >> in the apology, starbucks says the barista's actions were completely unacceptable. the police chief met yesterday with top executives and says more meetings are happening today. house speaker nancy pelosi will address the issue of election security, ahead of the 2020 presidential race. pelosi is holding a news conference this morning in san francisco with other lawmakers. they'll also discuss the recent passage of the securing america's election act. the bill aims to protect u.s. elections from future foreign interference. recently special counsel robert mueller's report determined russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election.
5:45 am
today in southern california a major ruling is expected in representative duncan hunter's trial. the san diego lawmaker and his wife were indicted on charges that they used more than $250,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses. he is asking for a venue change for the trial, which is set to start in september. hunter's team also wants the charges dismissed. margaret hunter pleaded guilty last month and agreed to testify against her husband. 5:45, and iran says that it will step up its production of nuclear materiel today. >> no reaction from u.s. president trump. >> the u.s. will have trouble responding to this. while iran's actions today violate the nuclear deal, we are the ones who pulled out of the nuclear deal, not iran. iran says it will increase the quality of the uranium it's processing, enriching it above 4%. to be absolutely clear, they can't use that for a bomb. you need enrichment in the high 90s to make a bomb, but it is a
5:46 am
deliberate provocation, aimed at pushing allies back to the negotiating table. secretary of state mike pompeo will be addressing the press in less than hour. we expect he will address the iran issue. the main plan though is to talk about aligning america's foreign policy with a new human rights policy. what exactly that means? we don't know. we'll find out more shortly. we do know the white house is very friendly towards people with incredibly poor human rights records. several accused of ordering murders. we'll know more come 6:45. the usual shakeup in the justice department. the government lawyers defending president trump's push to put a citizenship question on the census will no longer be a part of that team pushing for the change. a different group of lawyers at justice are going to take over for those lawyers, but it's not clear what they can do. the supreme court's already said they can't add the questions to the census. it was the government in fact
5:47 am
that pushed for a speedy decision, saying it had to be made before july 1st or it would be too late. now the government, which lost the case says well maybe it's not too late. the trump administration also pushing the courts to strike down obamacare. that case could be decided tomorrow in federal court. this has a potential to really shake up the presidential elections. if obamacare were struck down, millions of americans would lose their health care potentially driving them away from the very republicans who were pushing for that change. we're watching everything that's happening in washington, as again mike pompeo due to speak in beabout an hour. follow me on twitter, i' i'm @scottmcgrew. squaw valley final ski day was yesterday and video from the resort shows people skiing in jeans and t-shirts. some of them. the tahoe ski resort opened in november with almost entirely
5:48 am
manmade snow but then the weather took a quick turn in the winter and snowstorms made for the third largest snow season in the resort's history. a total 719 inches, which of course led to this post fourth of july skiing. what's funny is that we're looking at this video about skiing and talking about allergy forecasts at the same time. >> hey, that's bay area for you. we're going to also see a wide range in temperatures, not only from here to tahoe, but also just within the ar, as we are starting out with some low clouds and fog over oakland right now, that marine layer extending for the morning hours from the coast into the valleys, and so we are starting out with your morning commute in brentwood, with a lot of clouds and some upper 50s, but there will be some clearing heading through late morning, and we're up to about 68 degrees at 10:00, and 74 degrees at noon, and we see our warmup happening fairly slowly because our high temperatures will be a little bit cooler than where we should be for early july, reaching 75
5:49 am
degrees in san jose and in livermore, 80 in antioch and 74 degrees in napa today, with oakland reaching 66, san francisco stays in the lower 60s. and we are seeing some mostly cloudy skies over the south bay right now. as you're getting dressed, grab a jacket. it is a little cool out there. maybe some long sleeves but the rest of the day you'll be comfortable with short sleeves or a t-shirt and as we go rough the rest of the week, we do have some changes ahead. even though it's cool today and tomorrow, by the middle of the week, we will watch a storm system farther to the north moving into the pacific northwest, while high pressure builds across the desert southwest, and that's going to change our wind direction. so we start out with an onshore cool wind flow, but by the end of the week, that desert southwest high pressure makes it hotter here in the bay area. so we're going from the mid-70s today for the inland areas to the mid 80s by the weekend, and a lot more sunshine in that forecast. mike, you've put up the.
5:50 am
choer, how is it looking at the dumbarton bridge? >> sky ranger is just getting up there. i'll get out of your way. you see that we have one lane with the flares off and looks like we have two lane getting by. chp still says innier report they only have one lane getting by but sky ranger shows two lanes of traffic. it is jammed up. as they panned back toward the fremont and newark side it was jammed across the span from the high-ri high-rise. the maps focus on the activity there, i'll review that video and let you know if there's anything else of note. traffic westbound at least one lane is blocked from fremont and newark in toward the menlo park/east palo alto side. use the san mateo bridge because the traffic is moving smoothly. we are picking up the volume. as we track that dumbarton bridge, the san mateo bridge may become a factor and that may tend to clog up counter commute headed northbound 880. right now, we don't see a problem. also 237, let me show you what waze timed out.
5:51 am
our partners at waze timed out the routes across the dumbarton bridge from fremont, union city, over in toward san carlos, the commute for a lot of folks there and across that green section, that will be 48 minutes. we'll save you 15 minutes by going the longer route down toward 237. nbc bay area wazers is the name of the team you should join to get that constant update on the information. back out to the maps, we're showing a smooth flow of traffic at the bay bridge as well. we have the backup at the toll plaza, but i want to show you the live look. the fastrak lanes are moving relatively smoothly, that's better news from the earlier backup. those flashing lights, do not be alarmed. it's a larger vehicle, it will make its way through the toll plaza and across the bridge just fine. the flashing lights to give it more profile so folks know it's wider in the lanes so just be careful. back to you. >> good advice there, mike. happening now for you, a georgia sheriff's deputy is dead and a manhunt is under way for the suspects. hall county sheriff's deputy was shot and killed last night following a stolen car chase.
5:52 am
sheriff officials say the deputies were attempting to stop a stolen car they believe was involved in several weekend burglaries. when that car they were chasing crashed, police continued the chase on foot. police say there was exchange of gunfire, and that deputy was shot. next and all new this hour, more frustration this morning for movie pass subscribers. they can't see any movies. the reason the troubled service is shutting down for now. but first an ancient world wonder needs some repair work. the new method china is using to keep the great wall great. you're watching "today in the bay."

5:57 am
down. so new for you today the great wall of china is being repaired and initial attempt using concrete to fix an area of uneven pavement covered up the original wall. so the government is using more traditional techniques. they now use hoists to put replacement stones in place using bricks that were originally in the collapsed sections of the ancient wall. the section outside of beijing is the most popular section, attracting more than 10 million visitors last year alone. [ horn sounding ]. you see right here it happened again, a horn blaring during another close call involving a huge cruise ship, this time in venice, italy. you can see right here that ship nearly collided with an outdoor cafe along the lagoon. rain, wind and hail were coming down when witnesses captured this video. the apparent close call comes just weeks after another cruise ship rammed a much smaller boat
5:58 am
along the venice canal. >> yikes. we can't tell how tall that ship is from this vantage point but it had to be scary. looks luke a movie almost. voters in maryland will no longer be required to identify themselves as male or female. "the baltimore sun" reports the maryland state board of elections will allow voters to choose x or unspecified as gender. existing paper forms that only offered the option of male and female will be used until they run out but then those new forms will have that third option. the state elections board voted unanimously in favor of that change last week. another setback for movie pass, the subscription service is shutting down temporarily. the struggling company says it will work to improve subscriber experience. according to "variety" movie pass is working on a new version of its app and fixing technical issues. during the process, movie pass says it will not accept new subscrib subscribers. current subscribers won't be charged during that shutdown so that's good news and will get credit back for days impacted.
5:59 am
the company says the process will take several weeks. in the middle of summer movie season. that stinks. spider-man is at the top of the weekend box office. >> the latest film earned more than $93 million from friday to sunday. it actually debuted on tuesday and made more than $185 million since then. "toy story 4" was in second. >> the one guy who is the only one who remembered the beatles? >> who would have thought? right now at 6:00 the breaking in us to tell you about, a busy night for police in san francisco, investigating an overnight homicide. we don't know much yet, but we are live in the city asking the questions for you. social network summit, at 6:15, president trump's last big tech but the bay area companies not yet invited that are confusing some people. and racing and racket.
