>> i am laura garcia working from home and experiencing some of the work from hoepl issues people probably have to go through during this corona indication, so to speak. >> kari hall has been working hard on the forecast, getting us up-to-date and you say it's going to be a warm one out there for us. >> yeah, if you are trying to open up the windows and let the house cool down before it warms up today. temperatures now in the mid to upper 50s and feels quite warm in concord to start out the day. as we look at our high temperatures, reaching up to 85 degrees in antioch this afternoon, while san francisco stays nice and cool due to coastal fog. that will not help us out in the inland valleys where we are reaching in the 80s today. we will have more in the

forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you, kari. all eyes on capitol hill as lawmakers take final steps for approving more money for small businesses. tracie potts joins us with more of what we can expect. >> hi, marcus. you can expect today law meekers who are scrambling to get back here will approve $484 billion, and the bulk of that is for small business loans in two different programs. these are the loans that in part ran out of money last week. now lawmakers to re-fund that with the provision to make sure the money goes to small businesses and not big ones, and that was some of the complaints last week, and that will close some of the loopholes. one south bay restaurant is one of the lucky ones that already

have gotten much-needed money from the federal government. owners of a slice of new york pizza in santa clara and sunnyvale breathing easier now, and they have a $26,000 a week payroll, and a few weeks ago they applied for a federal loan and suddenly got a direct deposit. >> it just showed up in our account. $245,000. my wife jumped up and down. >> these owners also found out they are getting a $10,000 grant from the disaster relief fund, and that's separate, and it's much needed for many small businesses struggling to pay their employees and stay afloat. >> thank you. napa county is ready to ease its shelter-in-place restrictions, and the governor is not lifting state-wide orders

just yet or giving us a date, but more services are getting back to basics. kris sanchez has more on what this all means. >> most of us in the bay area do not live in napa, it's one of the less populous counties. you might be wondering why is it napa can ease some of the restrictions where the county where i live is not and it seems to come down to a matter of space. napa is a rural county and has more space for folks to spread out and a lot of the restrictions that are changing have to do with outdoor activities. as the health director says, they also have a low number of covid-19 positive cases. at this point just 57 people have been infected in napa county. here's what is changing in napa. all construction will now resume, and so can real estate.

golf courses are open, but only for those that live in napa county, so don't rush up there to play golf. people can now attend drive-in church services. the health director says people still need to keep up the habits of social distancing and using face coverings. >> the spirit of the shelter-at-home order is really to enact behaviors to change. >> we have tried to make it crystal clear there's no light switch. >> governor newsom also eased some restrictions allowing some scheduled surgeries to begin, not cosmetic surgeries, but people with cancer or heart valves, for example. the hospital rate in california is stabilizing but there's still not enough capacity if there's a sudden spike in infections, so the shelter-in-place order will

remain for the most part. and a new poll shows americans are more worried about opening up the economy too soon more than the impact on the economy itself. >> thank you. immigrant rights groups plan to hold a drive-through rally wanting governor newsom to release all migrants being held at i.c.e. detection centers. they fear the coronavirus is running rampant, and people plan to protest in their cars outside the plaza. pa a san francisco woman says someone took off with her delivery moments after it was dropped off in diamond heights.

>> i warned a friend about it yesterday evening, and they were sceptical and dismissive, and the same thing happened to them this morning. >> her grocery store did replace the items. many shoppers have to wait days to get groceries delivered with demand so high. wide scale drive-through public testing will begin in sonoma county. the location has not been announced just yet. so far 4,700 people have tested positive in sonoma -- or have been tested in sonoma county, and nearly t200 have tested positive and two have died. and then a with dr. lee getting under way at 1:30 this afternoon on the congressman's facebook page. and some elite colleges are

backing off of the money from the grant from the stimulus bill. private colleges are receiving money to help with the pandemic-related costs, and so many needy students, and harvard doing the same thing after recent blowback from the president. the city of santa clara is providing breakfast and lunch meals for the weekends starting at 2:00 p.m. today. the pickup locations are on your screen right now, and we also posted the locations on our website, nbcbayarea.com. and then debating the possibility of opening some parks and trails. some top health experts are already onboard if and when the plan is approved it will likely be a gradual reopening starting with limited access and limited entry. kari, i know with the

weather being so nice a lot of people are wanting to get out there and take a walk, but still doing the social distancing part. >> yeah, you have to remember that part of it. we will have a lot of sunshine, even if you are just going out for a stroll around the neighborhood. here's a live look outside in walnut creek, as the sun rises. we are starting out with cool temperatures and then we will start out in the cool 50s, and seeing it warm up quickly this afternoon as we head into the mid-80s here. if you are like me and suffering from allergies, and just opening up the windows causes you to sneeze, we will still see a high amount of tree pollen today and grass pollen is moderate, and if it's really affecting you, you could be affected by the oak, pine and juniper pollens. we will talk more about that and a warm-up in the forecast.

we head over to make who is tracking the commute. any issues people should know about? >> yeah, the oak pollen and juniper, that's bugging me. but let's be serious. i see this sticking around, slow westbound highway 4 approaching 680, and there's overnight construction and it's approved until 7:00 or 8:00, and it may not be as jammed as it looks on the map. good news for the north bay, highway 12 and 121, the head-on crash cleared from the roadway and no reports of any major injuries, so that's good. no problem getting to the bay

i love this shot. all of this years out and our temperatures start to warm up. we are going from the mid-50s to upper 70s eventually reaching 80 degrees. we will talk about the updated drought monitor just released. that's coming up in a few minutes. good morning. very happy thursday to you. you know, polls show that a majority of americans worry that some states are opening up too early and now you can count president trump among those americans, saying at his wednesday's press conference he disagrees with governors who are relaxing standards already. that's because people want to get back to work. we have the latest data on

jobless claims. another 4.4 million americans applied for unemployment last week, we should say successfully applied for unemployment, the data does not count those stuck on the phone. of all the americans unemployed, that's the equivalent of the population of the 23 smallest american states put together. a staggering number of americans. did you get this text message a few weeks ago, the start of the pandemic, a friend that knows somebody that works in washington warning of a shutdown and you should get to the grocery store? that text message apparently came from china and some sort of chinese intelligence operation in order to sew discord here in the united states, they speculate. the contents of the text message were false but it may have

helped people actually get prepared. and this is one of the oldest democracies using zoom. >> he has been unable to connect, so we go to mr. blackford for the first of his two questions. >> thank you, mr. speaker. as the covid-19 pandemic continues -- >> the uk's parliament is using zoom to conduct normal operations. the u.s. congress has talked about virtual meeting but for now our rules say they have to meet in person. the inventor of zoom says the company is working on making the app more secure, but it's the most popular app the these days. you were just talking about how congress has to go back to washington in order to vote on the loan, and in england they

couldn't do that because they would have to do it with the teleconference. >> i guess the lawmakers have to decide what they are going to do. thanks, scott. a lot of people are wondering what will air travel be like as things re-open. here's what one italian airline is proposing. look at this. a major reconfiguration of the seats. look at that. the middle seats are facing backwards and plastic barriers in between. insiders say be prepared for drastic changes even though airports right now are ghost towns. >> for all airports around the country, all of my colleagues are saying the sameni thing, it a strange thing, like a prolonged 9/11 affect. >> when things get back up and running, experts say the social distancing will lead to more

expensive tickets. ouch. a lot of happy couples are canceling their weddings, but having srur kh having virtual ones, and they are not the same, but what if this happened to you. look who crashed this online wedding. >> hi, hoda! >> how are you? >> i'm good. how are you? >> look, i wanted to join in. i don't know if you know but i am ordained. i wanted to help you out. >> that's so amazing. >> it's hoda kotb from the "today" show, and she said yes to being the efficient of the wedding. hoda offered the family her help to make the virtusru virtual nu

nuptials possible. >> who did that? hoda. yeah, we know her. let's get a look at the forecast for today, and kari, it has been nice and sunny but we realize though we are not getting any rain. >> right, and it's not good news for us. just a few minutes ago the drought monitor was updated and the numbers for california have been worsening, especially northern california where now they have had to declare an extreme drought for about 4% of the state because of the really dry conditions, but for southern california we have seen some improvements as storm track has been recently over southern california. they have benefitted from all of the rain. as we bring it here to the bay area, we went from a moderate drought to a severe drought. anywhere from san francisco over towards the east bay up to the north bay, and we are really

lacking that rainfall. in fact for the water year in santa rosa, we need over 15 inches of rain to catch up to normal. that's a huge amount. so it looks like even as we go deeper into our dry season, we are going to see the drought conditions worsening. what does that mean? it means that our fire season could start earlier, especially for the north bay, as early as july, because the grasses are very dry. especially with warm weather like we are seeing now, you get a high wind picking up and we could quickly see the wildfires spreading. hopefully we don't see that and we have to be really careful this year. in terms of the sierra snowpack, we did see some improvements after a dry february. we were right at about 58% of the state-wide average of the normal snowpack, which we know is the water storage for our summer in the reservoirs.

we are going to continue on with a large area of high pressure that will keep it dry as well as warm weather go into the next several days. we are not going to see the change anytime soon. as we look at our forecast, we are still looking at some, once again, dry conditions as we reach into the 80s, even reaching into the mid-80s for the next couple of days. we will see more of the same extending into next week. that's something we will watch over the next several months. mike, what is going on now with the commute? >> stick around for a second here, and i want to show you the maps here. yesterday we saw slowing north of 680 heading into fremont, and they may have a delay picking up so know that if you are headed up to the tri-valley. and the palo alto cameras shows

good spacing, and chp is out there and just updated their tally, from march 19th, guys, when the stay-at-home order began to april 19th, so one month in, officers issued 87% more citations for drivers suspected -- listen to this, drivers suspected of driving up to 100 miles per hour. just because you can go faster doesn't mean you should go fast. it's not safe. back to you. rushing to get back to normal, the about-face from president trump and the state he is now calling out for acting too quickly. plus, the all-new changes that may soon change the way you shop for your groceries. but first, something good for you. knock knock. who is there? a joke hotline run by three

volunteers from juneau, alaska, that will come up with new jokes seven days a week and record them for callers. it opens every day, seven days a week, at 10:00 a.m. hoeealth-care workers are getting a big show of support from firefighters and first responders. first responders begin sounding their alarm as a sign of appreciation at three different locations around the hospital. we want to thank those health-care workers for all they are doing to keep us and our loved ones safe. we thank you. we'll be right back.

6:25. welcome back. a new look at tornadoes touching down in oklahoma as a series of storms left five dead yesterday in texas and the southern plains. one mall was destroyed north of dallas and left one manufacturing building a total loss. and then tornadoes touched down 50 miles north of houston. this drone video shows the damage to several of the building and downed power lines and trees. and starting tomorrow some businesses in georgia are expected to re-open, tattoo parlors and gyms and salons are being given the green light to resume.

president trump strongly disagrees with the governor. and then meanwhile, look at this exchange on cnn from las vegas's mayor. >> you don't think there should be social distancing? >> of course i believe it. >> how do you do that in a casino? >> that's for them to figure out. i don't own a casino. >> casino workers are pushing back saying they are afraid to return until safety measures are put in place. the nevada governor tweeted las vegas would re-open, quote, when the time is right. next ye, the top stories wee following today, including a new plan to test thousands in one san francisco neighborhood. what does one of the richest people in the world say about the future post pandemic? that will be on "nightly news" at 5:30.

reaches 6,800 confirmed cases with 239 deaths. good morning to you. thank you for starting right here with us on "today in the bay." i am marcus washington. >> i am laura garcia working from home this morning, and working through technical difficulties, honestly. it has been a challenge because i had to call on my i.t. team, which is me. i had to put on that hat and you have been a good job holding down the fort and anchoring. >> it's good to see you a little bit throughout the morning, though. i don't get to have you next to me. >> i love expanding my depth of knowledge in all things, and i am certainly doing that today. >> mom, anchor, i.t. crew, and you are doing it all. thanks, laura. let's get a look at the forecast for you, kari hall, also working from home this morning. kari, what are we expecting

today with the forecast? >> we will have a warmer day across the bay area. let's head to the tri-valley as we get outside in dublin, and there's a lot of sunshine elsewhere across the bay area, and once the clouds clear out our temperatures will clear up quickly. in dublin going from 55 degrees to the upper 70s and may make it to 80 degrees here. we are going to see our inland temperatures warming up for the afternoon, as some of us reach as warm as 85 degrees. this is well above normal, and our dry weather continues. i will talk about the impact of what we are seeing now, a drought across the bay area. that's coming up in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. the next time you cross the bay bridge you may feel the latest pandemic fallout. damian trujillo is live for us to tell you what it means moving forward. >> well, mike's maps have been showing it for several days now, no traffic on the bay area

freeways and bridges. when is the last time you saw the green chiclets across the bay bridge. starting today tolls for two axil cars crossing the bay bridge will remain at $6. before they would have tphrubg waited between $5 and $7. but traffic has dropped across the bridges due to covid-19, and traffic on the bay bridge has dropped by half since we went into the shelter-at-home order across the state. the toll subscribe to the fast track app, and that

way it's easier and you will be charged accordingly. right now there's a freeze on the congestion pricing on the bridge, will remain at $6 no matter what time of day. >> a lot of changes to get used to. thank you. bart leaders meet today for the first time since receiving desperately-needed emergency funding. $250 million was for bart, which has seen 5% of what they did this time last year. and then the word from mayor london breed is saying anybody living in the city can get tested if they make an appointment. she says testing can help slow

the spread of the virus. and then authorities are looking back at the deaths since december to fill in the coronavirus timeline. the first death happened during the first week of february, three weeks earlier than we previously thought. that's when a 57-year-old south bay mother died at home. she worked at lamb research for three decades. she had not traveled outside of the country. >> what these deaths tell us is we had community transmission probably to a significant degree far earlier than we had known. >> dowd is one of twoe been spreading early in january in the bay area. and then scrambling to get more homeless in hotels. "the chronicle" reports 200 people have moved from shelters

to hotel rooms, and the state is paying $200 a night for those hotel rooms, not just in alameda but also in san francisco, where 100 homeless people have already tested positive. some students are asking the university to provide sick leave, hazard pay and better education for those employees. we reached out to stanford for a comment and so far have not heard back. julian castro is expected to attend a news conference about the subject on campus this afternoon. the uc system is coming under fire from its own faculty members for continuing to support the sat. the academic senate is echoing what critics are saying assessments don't go far enough and favor wealthier students.

it plans to bring the test back year for at least the next five years. high school students will be able to take an at-home online sat if the coronavirus keeps schools closed until the fall. that's one of the many educational changes. joining us to talk about more of the issue is the vice president of college readiness assessment for the college board. good morning, priscilla. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> it has been a long time since i have taken any of the tests, but we know the sat has been canceled for the rest of the school year. how are you making sure the students are ready to take the test? >> we are committed to giving students every opportunity possible as soon as it's safe to do so. we are planning along two tracks. the one we hope will be the case, the scenario where schools do open for august and september

for the school year. we made an announcement last week that we will offer more testing opportunities beginning in august than we ever have, both through our traditional sat weekend program, and that's the one you probably did, you take school, and then there's an sat school day, and that's when an entire grade of students, usually judges take the sat during the day in their school day, and a vast majority of the tests paid for by the state and schools, and so should the schools be able to re-open in august and september, we will add make sure every student that wants a chance to take the sat for college admissions and for scholarship opportunities is able to do that. >> colleges are not looking at the test score for entrance this year. why is it so beneficial for

those students to take the test? >> it's a great question. we have seen a large number of colleges and universities announce for the upcoming admission cycle, the juniors and seniors will be applying in the fall, they will not be acquiring the sat scores. we're a membership organization so the colleges and universities are our members. we are fully supportive of the flexibility they are putting in place for students for the upcoming cycle, just given the disruption. it's something students and families need. that being said, the vast majority of test optional universities, even in a regular year, the vast majority of students usually around 80% still send test scores. this is about us making sure that for any student that wants to see how they do, and view it as part of how they will forwar

overall -- >> we're running out of time. i have so many more questions, but we are running out of time. thank you for giving us insight this morning on what students can do next. >> thank you for having me. today marks the sixth month anniversary of the kincade fire in sonoma county. the cause still under investigation. that fire torched more than 77,000 acres and destroyed 374 buildings. it's time to get a look at what you can expect from the forecast today. kari hall tracking that and the numbers look stphaoeus anice an us today, kari. >> yeah, at 6:40 we have seen warm weather across the country, especially for the south, like south florida has had a record

stretch of high temperatures now reaching into the 90s again today. we also have seen a lot of severe weather for parts of the south and midwest. we have been tracking this for the rest of the country sheltering in place, and unfortunately another day possible for a tornado outbreak across georgia and alabama, and we will keep an eye on that. we will bring it back to the bay area and look at what we can expect over the next few days. that's coming up in a few minutes. mike, do you have anything on the traffic report? >> over my shoulder, it's green, and we have sunol and the highway into concord, they have construction. and today it's a big day for sports today, and it's the start of the nfl draft. check out the crowd in las vegas last year as the niners chose

nick bosa to join their all-star lineup. and then the decision room was packed with coaches, and the owner, the gm, all talking excitedly over one another, and working together in close quarters deciding who they will pick in a strict time limit, and contrast that with this, and this year's draft will be held in a room in his house with tables set up, and three landlines and a half dozen tvs and a self cam so he can talk to the cameras from home. that's very different in the new age of self distancing. they are trying to distance as much as they can during the srer kh virtual means. still ahead this morning, a big blowout delivered to three

california churches looking to re-open. president trump with an unusual compliment for our governor. the dow industrials up almost 200 points. the unemployment point, 4.4 million americans filing for the first time for unemployment. ♪ this is that moment we want to congratulate bay area graduates going without because of the pandemic. this morning in our great grad segment, congratulations to all of the graduates including these 12 middle school students. you all did it, heading to high school. it's going to be so much fun. we want you to share your selfies with us of those graduates from this year so we can share them with everybody here on "today in the bay." you can send those to myself or

laura garcia, i am marcuswashington@nbcbayarea.

right now at 6:46, we have a beautiful sunrise over the south bay, quickly. we will talk about that, and an

updated drought monitor coming up in a few minutes. a big blow to three bay area churches looking to re-open. a federal judge said no when the churches filed a order against governor newsom saying the stay-at-home order violates the freedom of religion. it's not yet clear if the churches will appeal. something unusual out of washington this morning. the president criticizing one of his allies and complimenting one of his usual foes. scott? >> yeah, good morning to you, marcus. he is complimenting governor newsom but the president having issues with georgia's governor, kemp. georgia has re-opened part of its economy and relaxing some of the sheltering standards, despite the state reached any of the criteria suggested by washington to

relaxing any standards, and the president is not shy about his opinion? >> i told him i strongly disagreed with some of his decisio decisio decisions. >> meanwhile the president complimenting our governor, saying the feds are going to help with testing in california just days after saying testing was absolutely up to the individual state. here is the president again. >> i spoke earlier today with governor newsom of california and that was all about testing, that conversation. he has been scaling up really well. a rel.ally good job. >> another notable moment in the press conference on wednesday, the head of the centers for disease control making a clarification at the president's

request. dr. robert redfield denied he said the coronavirus would be worse this fall, but saying it would be more difficult and complicated, but not worse but more difficult and complicated. this is because fall will bring flu season, flu and coronavirus on initial presentation are similar and may confuse both patients and doctors. of course there's a new debate about the second wave and how bad it's going to be. it could be modeled but obviously nobody really knows. what we do know for sure today, we are still completely in the middle of the crisis. in fact, wednesday was california's deadliest day yet overall, 22,762 americans that were alive yesterday are not alive today. >> a dose of reality, scott.

thank you. 6:49 for you this morning. we want to show you a video hitting all the right notes. ♪ ♪ >> those are 59 members of a virtual choir singing in harmony. this is the idea of a san diego youth choir who actually missed singing together, so one of the singers grabbed the choir, reached out to choirs in penn state along with 14 different cities in china, and they e-mailed their parts out and you have this harmonious music here. how beautiful is that? >> that is beautiful. >> ready? one, two, three -- >> don't you have to give us a key or something? >> this is your note. >> okay ♪ i am singing a different tune

out here trying to get through some of the technical difficulties while working from home, and you guys are doing a great job holding down the fort. >> trying to get used to the new normal, as we like to call it -- well, we don't like to, but it is what it is. >> yeah. >> and let's get to meteorologist, kari hall, talking about the sun, which is nice, but no rain. >> yeah, this may be something else that is our new normal, drought conditions for the bay area once again. the drought monitor updated just a little while ago shows not good news for us as we have started to see an extreme drought developing further to the north, now about 4% of the state in an extreme drought, but we have seen improvements in southern california, and that's where the storm track was recently, and it wiped out the drought conditions there, but here we are lacking an extreme

amount of rain in spots like santa rosa where we need 15 inches of rain for the water year to catch up to normal. we are seeing a drought for the bay area, for the south county and south bay we are in a moderate drought. conditions have worsened because of the lack of rain we have seen recently, and that could mean for the north bay, especially an early fire season. it does show the fire season in the north bay could start as early as july because it has been so dry. all you need is dry winds and more dry weather, and we could see the fire season getting going earlier. at least for this year, with the snowpack we have seen some improvements and the snowpack provides about one-third of our summer, and then we will have warm temperatures getting into

the 80s, and that's something we will see next week. mike, you have been tracking the roads. what is happening out there for the commute? >> a quick look at the maps, kari. no major crashes but we have slowing. green sensors all over the map but we zoom in towards sunol, northbound 680, and that construction scheduled to clear at 6:00 is going later. through concord, westbound highway 4 approaching 680, still slowing with that project and it's approved until 8:00. happening now, the world health organization announcing up to half all of coronavirus deaths across europe has been in nursing homes. nursing home care has been notoriously neglected, and saying health-care workers and nursing homes were over worked and underpaid and now need more

protective gear and support. and now looking at what is under serious consideration to open in the north bay.

welcome back. it's 6:56. here are the top stories. starting this weekend everybody living in the mission between

south srau necessary and harrison streets and chavez to 23rd street can be tested. it's part of a joint venture between the city and ucsf and a task force for covid-19. all construction will resume and in-person real estate viewings can start but only two people from the same household and their agent can view at one time, and golf courses are opening in napa county, and it's because they have a low number of covid-19 cases at 57. the dow is up at 36 points. new weekly jobless numbers show another 4.4 million americans filed for unemployment last week, and that means since mid march a total number of 26 million workers lost their

health-care workers on the front lines of the pandemic are getting a big show of support from law enforcement and firefighters. at the top of the hour, first responders began sounding their alarms as a sign of appreciation at three different locations around the hospital. we send a congratulations and thank you to all of them. niners fans are pumped because tonight is the first round of the nfl draft. niners have two first-round pick, and some believe they may trade down. the raiders were supposed to host the draft in las vegas, but it's more of a remote fantasy football draft. it finishes on saturday. and then watch bill gates tonight with savannah on "nightly news" tonight. >> i could use bill gates to

help me with my i.t. issues. call me, bill. >> let's get a last look at the forecast for you this morning. >> it's going to be a beautiful day. in fact, a little warmer than yesterday in some of our inland areas reach into the mid-80s. we will see this extending into the middle of next week. mike, what is happening out there for the commute. we have an issue. a dump truck is stalled on the san rafael bridge, but the plaza traffic is so light, but still no problem. back to the desk. >> that's going to do it for "today in the bay." that was the easiest show. >> you were here. i felt you. >> i was a little stressed out. >> i understand. all right, that does it for us this morning, and we will be back with an update for you at 7:25. thank you for joining us here on "today in the bay." make it a great morning.

it's friday eve. but we are all here, whether the video is blurry or not, we are all here together. >> that's true. have a great day, everybody. ♪ good morning, breaking overnight, path of destruction, . 27 million have filed unemployment in a month. the worsening jobs crisis as lawmakers race back to washington to vote on the next rescue plan. ready to reopen? the battle heats up as more states reveal their plans. but president trump reverses course, now saying he totally disagrees with the decision in
