spots. the way we're starting with a clear sun rise and we are seeing the live look outside in san jose. as we look at our temperature trend, we'll see it quickly warming up. we're in the upper 60s by late morning. eventually reaching into the low 80s and just keep in mind that our normal high temperature is about 71 degrees this time in april as we head into may. so we're looking at well above normal temperatures and there may be a few spots setting some new records for this afternoon. i'll be watching that temperature in santa rosa as well as some other spots where we will hit in the upper 80s. we'll talk more about what's ahead with a cooldown in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. thanks, kari. nbc bay area's tracie potts is live in washington with that plus problems with the latest batch of small business loans. tracie? >> reporter: marcus, people still having trouble trying to apply for and get those loans

approved. it's slow going. we'll tell you about that. as for the rest of what the federal government is doing, they are trying to help states now deal with testing and double the amount of testing that's being done out there. the federal government's new blueprint to help states includes setting up more coronavirus test sites and stores and minority communities to double testing from 1% to 2%. >> ensuring we work together to make sure every client receives the tests they need. >> 2% of americans getting tested every month way too little. it would take us four years to test every american. >> reporter: ten states are starting to reopen against federal guidelines under pressure from business owners and unemployed workers. >> we are going to be broke. broke, broke. the real broke. >> reporter: as restrictions are eased president trump predicts schools may be next. >> they may be ready to open up school systems, we'll see. that's their choice. the word is safety.

there's some big changes at sfo today. jetblue is moving it to the new harvey melke terminal, postponed due to the pandemic. the airline is requiring something new for passengers. bob redell joins us live. he's at sfo with a look at the new requirements. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. starting today jetblue becomes the first major airline to require passengers to wear facemasks not only onboard but during the check-in process, the boarding process and the deplaning process. flight attendants have been required since april 19th. united, frontier, delta and american have or are about to have the same requirements but not passenger jets. jetblue the only airline requiring passengers to do this. jetblue will exempt small this . the airline says it's fpele wea public places where it's difficult to maintain social distance. now in a statement jetblue's

president wrote, and i'm quoting here, this is the new flying etiquette. onboard cabin air is well circulated and cleaned through filters every few minutes, but this is a shared space where we have to be considerate of others. we are also asking our customers to follow these cdc guidelines in the airport as well. back out here live at sfo where the airport today has resumed the opening of the next phase of the harvey melke terminal. it had been delayed. the reopening of this section for the covid-19 outbreak. as you can see here in front of us, jetblue moved to its new ticket counter and a baggage claim location. thursday, southwest airlines will be doing the same. roaring live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. a senior care facility is now on the verge of its 100th coronavirus case. the outbreak first started at canyon springs post acute care

beds. "the mercury news" reports 99 people have now tested positive including patients and staff. five patients have died. happening today san francisco's school board may approve a big change when it comes to the spring semester grades. they're planning to vote on a pass or no pass grading system. this would only apply to the current semester due to obvious circumstances. several other districts are doing the same this spring including san jose and berkeley unified schools. there's a new shelter at home milestone showing how difficult things can be for people even that are not ill with coronavirus. oakland soo that 1 million meal mark in handin tt. all that food assistance to families. we'll check in with "today in the bay's" kris sanchez this morning. you see this need. it shows it all year round. >> reporter: yeah, but definitely the need has deepened now that families are needing

that assistance as well, laura. when oakland unified passed that million meal mile mark, they passed it by almost 100,000 more meals. so they are distributing a lot of food in oakland and really districts around the bay area. the food distribution is a life line for families whose children qualify for the free or reduced meals at school and now that campuses are closed districts have tried to find a way to get that food to those kids. staff is providing assistance for the families of 14,000 students through the school meals program. the alameda county food bank and many other charities. that is one district for illustration. i want to show you a look at the bigger picture. there is a 98% increase in demand for feeding america made up of 200 food banks nationwide. 98% increase.

some there are 400 food distribution sites in ten bay area counties according to stanford's big local news project. there is federal funding coming from washington which will be in demand for much time to come. coming up in the next half hour we'll talk about some of the new unemployment benefits available to people who didn't qualify before. who is eligible and where you can apply. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> right, for those that are self-employed. in the meantime we're moving along on this tuesday morning and i'm looking forward to another nice day outside. you saytoday, kari. we're looking at some of our temperatures reaching up to 90

degrees. if you're calling your friends and family across the country, it makes it hard to stay inside in areas where it does traditionally get very cool during the winter. we're seeing a surge of very warm air across the plains states. at least overall we see the severe weather threat winding down. storms over parts of eastern texas as well as minnesota and then over toward the mid-atlantic coast. here it's been very quiet and very warm. it's nice to know we'll have a cooldown in the forecast. head over to mike you have an update on what's happening for the morning commute. >> i am, kari. just as i finished the last ward of my report i saw headlights heading south on 101. they opened that lane now and crosses over the alemany

project. on the left side they're making good progress on the second half, the southern half of the construction project for the structure. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive, that speed limit in place for the one lane. the rest of the bay moving at 65. i'll talk about the tri-valley. i see a blip coming up. >> you remember when everyone was going out collecting the toilet paper? if you were one of them, are you done stockpiling that paper? coming up we'll tell you about those items that are still hard to find plus some surprising products that are experiencing suddenly high demand. it's easy to find gasoline. there's plenty of it. gas is cheaper now than when i was in high school. ♪ and we continue to celebrate bay area graduates who are going

wut an official ceremony. this morning in our great grads segment we are saluting the 12 high school students. you're moving on to a new chapter. very exciting. freedom, independence. share a picture of your graduate and you might see it on tv. look up marcus and myself on facebook and post it there. you're watching "today in the bay." 6:11.

they're our neighbors.

and they're our friends. they're our parents... our brothers and sisters. and our children. but now, they are more than that. they are forever our heroes, too. at prudential, we're fortunate to know and serve them. and we're grateful to the heroic men and women working on the front line to move our nation forward. to all the heroes, we thank you.

the time is 6:14. let's get a live look outside in dublin as the sun rises temperatures are getting ready to warm up pretty fast today. it goes from 55 degrees at 8:00 to 83 at 2:00 today, but not all of the bay area will see temperatures this warm. we'll talk about the range in temperatures and where we may set a record coming up. and good morning. very happy tuesday to you. the second round of small business loans got under way on tuesday, and it was pretty much the same old story. very slow computer systems, a lot of frustration for small business. they're disappointed the second version of the paycheck protection program with extra precautions put into place to

make sure they're really getting the businesses that are getting the money not large chains is it going very slowly. we're hoping to hear more from the treasury department about how many applications were processed. the head of america's largest bank association went on twitter to say his member banks are deeply frustrated. he's raised the issues at the highest level and until they're resolved america's banks will not be able to help small businesses. i know that is not the most scathing twitter message you have ever read but think about it. it is the head of one of america's largest banking associations calling out the government on twitter is significant. speaking of checks, there's an interesting debate over the checks that are going to the unemployed. an ugly debate. remember the new stimulus laws as much as $600 in extra federal money to the state's unemployment payment. it only lasts until july but take a look at the figures. the government estimates the average unemployment check is

$978, but the average american worker was making $957 a week. the bad news some say is that could incentivize business owners to lay their employees off. the good news, though, the average american is actually getting as much or more money assuming, of course, they can get to the unemployment office. the stock market moving upwards a bit. we saw our fourth day of progress on the dow yesterday as states open up. but that rally may not last. scientists are warning the states are opening too early and may be back to where they started. marcus and laura, oil prices are at new lows. in fact, 1986 lows, which means that's when i was filling my car when i was in high school. i was paying 99 cents a gallon. it's $1.77 now nationwide, higher in california. i ran through the calculator. cheaper now than it was when i was filling my car. we were talking about my car earlier. this is not my car but i found a picture of a car, a 1972

cadillac sedan deville, 17 feet long, 7 feet wide and gets 12 miles to the gallon. >> that's what i was going to say, those cars were heavy back then. >> that's what we call a pit mobile. >> that's why my parents wanted it. in the biggest, heaviest car they could find. >> you are the man. >> my mom had one of those, and my dad said i just saw your mom's car driving by because you could barely see me over the steering wheel. >> scott, you are still the man. new this morning it turns out items like toilet paper and paper towels are not getting any harder to find but not any easier as well. the latest nielsen shopping survey indicates a leveling off

in the sales of most grocery store essentials but some are still booming including meat alternatives which have doubled sales in recent weeks and nondairy milk items and, of course, sand sanitizer. >> look, if you watch nbc bay area with your antenna we have some important information for you. we're moving to a new transmitter tomorrow so that means you have to rescan your tv or after tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. you'll have to do that real soon because you could lose our over the air signal. i want to help you out if you have your remote nearby, grab it. select auto tune or rescan. and if you watch us on cable, satellite or our nbc bay area app which is free, you don't have to worry about a thing. we do have more information on nbcbayarea.com/rescan. listen up, mother's day is

now less than two weeks away and this may come as no surprise but countless gift ideas are a big phenomenon. experts say monthly subscription boxes can be a good idea. i'll have to think about that one. or maybe a digital gift like a master class. of course you can't go wrong with flowers or chocolates for mother's day and you're probably going to have to buy those from a seller online. >> and, you know what, handmade gifts are great, too, from the kids. maybe they can get a little help in that department. >> you can make a card. >> or a phone call. >> yeah, exactly. now i understand why my mom used to say that. i just love to spend time with my kids. >> like mike was saying, a phone call would do. >> i'm spending a lot of time with those kids. >> you are. here you go again, mom.

>> it's mother's day every day around here lately. let's get a look at the forecast. 6:19 this morning. kari, you're telling us another nice one but it is going to be a little warmer for us out there. yeah, maybe this mother's day you'll want to say, hey, mom, you go to your room and i'll take care of the kids for a little while. that may be a nice break away from the family. it's been hard to find those escapes now when we're all just trying to crowd around the air conditioning because the temperatures are been so warm and in some spots set a record today. the record high is 86 but that's also the forecast for today. we're looking at highs in the upper 80s. if we make it up to 89 we'll set a new record. it will still be well above normal. as we check out our temperature trend in martinez going from 63

at 8:00 to the mid-80s by early in the afternoon. i think we'll reach into the upper 80s and it will be a day it warms up fast but also slow to cool off later this evening. it looks like there's a pretty big storm in the pacific. the unfortunate thing is we'll miss out on the rain as it moves to the north. it will hit spots like portland, even vancouver, while we are going to get at least a push of cooler air. that will push the warm air out and as we go into the weekend going to feel milder. a little bit better and the way we should be for early may as we start to get some milder air. not a drop of rain with upper 80s today coming down to the 70s. as we head over to you, mike, you've been tracking the commute.

what's going on right now? >> overall the big picture shows green sensors. we saw some early slowing and now it's focused north 680 where there is a crash reported. i hope it does not involve the construction crew, and i don't think it does. we'll follow that. the update, golden gate park we have jfk drive, a portion of that closed and it's similar to the portion that closes for sunday streets. give folks more of a chance to walk around. if you live in the area, that's more area to walk and bike and roller blade. stay near your home, and then we have the reopening one lane south 101 at 280. back to you. >> thank you very much. it's 6:22 right now. coming up next on "today in the bay," l.a. county sheriff is responding to an emergency. this one has to do with a shortage of masks. >> his bold money saving plan

6:25. the governor of texas is partially lifting his stay-at-home order thursday but, laura, we know it's a bit too late for one texas mayor who is now apologizing. >> that's right. go ahead and read us the rest of the story. >> this comes as a photo surfaced on social media showing

beaumont mayor becky ames visiting a closed nail salon. the salon owner is insisting she was there only to have her old nails removed but has issued an apology calling it a lapse in judgment saying she did not intend to take personal privilege with asking others to sacrifice. new this morning l.a. county sheriff's department is the latest agency to come around to the idea of reusing n95 masks. machines to fully disinfect the masks. the sheriff says it will save about $12 a pop, the price for medical grade masks these days, more than three times the cost before the pandemic. and scenes like this happening everywhere. happening today east coast health care workers will get a big show of support from above from the military.

the u.s. air force thunderbirds and the navy's blue angels will fly over new york city and part of new jersey called operation america strong. up next for you, top stories including one bay area small business owner saying today she's reopening her hair salon. >> everyone who enters will have a mask. perfectly within the shelter-in-place guidelines. >> she's not alone in this. others who are planning to defy that shelter at home order. you're watching "today in the bay."

and right now at 6:30 the opening bell the new york stock exchange where the dow is opening at 415 points right now. futures point to a higher hoping and follows the big gains from the stock market yesterday. and the u.s. is on the brink of a grim milestone nearing 1 million confirmed cases of covid-19. according to johns hopkins university that's what they're saying and there are certainly more than 3 million cases worldwide for us. and the white house says it will work with governors to ramp up testing. ten states are start to go reopen against federal guidelines under pressure from businesses and the unemployed

workers. six bay area counties are under a shelter at home order until june 1st. be sure to pack your facemasks in your carry-on. beginning next week all jetblue employees and passengers will be required to wear the masks while onboard. it's the first u.s. airline to make that big rule. a very good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. hey. >> look, full disclosure, we had a little technical difficulty out there. >> what are you talking about? this is called working from home. no, my computer -- basically i'm looking into the camera but it's my computer, and it's deciding to freeze right in the middle of a story. >> i didn't know if you were going to be there or not. >> i know. no, i'm here, it's just my computer still wants to snooze, i think, a little bit. anyway, thanks for a couple stories, marcus, you read this

one. full disclosure, just got to get through it. >> we're keeping it going. meteorologist kari hall is keeping track of the forecast today which you've been telling us will be another warm one. >> yes, so right now is the time to try to let the house cool off without having to run that air conditioning today. we're going to start out with temperatures in the low 50s in the tri-valley and also looking at some upper 50s elsewhere. as we check out our temperature trend in concord, you see that trend going up from the upper 50s to the low 80s by this afternoon and some of us will be hitting the upper 80s. a few spots even reaching 90 degrees but that's going to be a contrast compared to the coast where we stay in the 60s today. i'll talk about the heading as we get closer to the weekend coming up in a few minutes. thanks, kari. a vacaville hair salon owner says she will reopen today despite state and local orders. she can't wait any longer.

"today in the bay's" sharon katsuda live for us in vacaville. this really sounds like a difficult decision no matter how you cut it. >> reporter: absolutely, marcus. it will be interesting to see what police decide to do about all of this, whether to look the other way, arrest or fine the store owner for not following the stay-at-home order. many have announced plans to extend the order until june 1st. here in solano county through may 17th, lia rivera opened in vacaville when she was pregnant wi h third child, and she says there's no way she's letting it slip away now. she's tried every financial assistance program available and received nothing. she and another barbershop owner nearby say they'll be careful and are ready if the cops come today. >> everyone that enters will have a mask. >> i believe it's a constitutional right to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

>> reporter: but the law says only essential businesses such as grocery stores and gas stations can be open. rivera says the two stylists will practice safe distancing when they tend to appointment only clients. with clients they'll have to come close, and that's the concern by health officials. they want everyone to still stay six feet apart unless you're at home and with immediate family. later today governor newsom is expected to address more details on how he plans to reopen businesses across the state. reporting live, i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." >> we'll be interested in what he has to say, thank you. today self-employed people who are out of work can apply for unemployment benefits through the federal c.a.r.e.s. act. i want to check in with "today in the bay's" kris sanchez. she has more detail on all of that. >> reporter: a lot of folks have been waiting anxiously for this day, those applications can be

submitted starting at 10:00 this morning. past experience is any indication, folks are going to have to be very patient through this process as well. people who are self-employed will join in that steady stream of people filing for unemployment benefits and people who might not have been eligible under regular state unemployment insurance guidelines including people who perhaps haven't worked long enough to be eligible or people who have already used those benefits up. we are talking about freelancers, gig and contract workers, who are either unemployed or under employed at this point. the benefit is $167 on the minimum and the maximum is $450 a week. those benefits are retroactive to february when the pandemic began. applicants approved will qualify for the $600 a week federal benefit, that's the one coming through the c.a.r.e.s. act.

benefits are good for 39 weeks ending december 26th unless the benefits are extended. if you are an applicant who already has one of those edd, employment department debit cards, then if you qualify and you are approved you could see the benefits coming to that debit card in two days rather than the more traditional weeks of waiting. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." the city of berkeley is stepping up to help small business owners trying to make it. leaders approved $1.8 million in grants that will go to 400 businesses and art groups. those grants are being handed out from the berkeley relief fund which the city launched last month. we, big hit due to covid-19. so many restaurants are doing what they can to keep up and

keep in business. joining us this morning is lisa hauck-alvarez, this restaurant has been around since about the mid-'60s, right, your family has owned it for 30 years, lisa? >> that's correct. we've been here for 30 years now. that's a long time. we've put our whole lives in this place, a lot of memories and hard work. >> tell us how things have been for you and your restaurant. you've been serving takeout. >> about a year ago we opened these brand-new private event rooms that are sitting empty. we owe thousands back in deposits for celebrations that can't happen and had tho have b here 10 to 20 years with us. it's been hard breaking. what are you going to do except push up your sleeves and make a new plan.

we're doing takeout. the four of us come down here and we answer phones and we take orders and package food and thank our customers for their support. we're fortunate. >> it shows how important it is to support local businesses. now did you apply for the federal relief fund, and what's the status of that for you? >> we did. we did a lot of research and were ready to go. we applied within an hour of it becoming available. like everyone else, we didn't get anything. >> and that's the tough thing. you did everything you were supposed to but you're one of the ones that hasn't received that funding yet. >> that's correct. we're stuck with thousands in bills for vendors and rent. it's a tough hole to dig yourself out of.

a lot of hard working small business owners trying to do their best and a lot of wonderful community to support us. we just have to take one day at a time. >> we support you. i know you are supporting, despite all of this, through the help of frontline you are supporting to help feed some of the frontline workers. good sam, for example, down there. and you can get a little bit of money from that as well. >> correct. we have feed the need and feed our heroes. and then, also, we just got onboard with front line foods last week. these nonprofits were developed to help support restaurants by placing orders and then we deliver the food to the hospitals and the frontline heroes. it's been a really rewarding experience, too. to see the faces with the little masks on eating our food. it's a win-win experience. the funding runs low in these

nonprofits. they really need our help. >> exactly. and the restaurants do as well. we thank you for getting up early and taking the time to join us. continued luck to you. >> thank you so much. and come to the wine cellar. >> that's right. there's takeout. >> right. we have a pretty good menu. thanks, laura. >> i bet you do. thanks, lisa. >> thanks, bye-bye. >> it's tuesday takeout. does that mean i don't have to cook tonight? >> i think so. >> that's a really good idea because, yeah, one less cooking meal -- we've been cooking so much being at home all of these past few weeks and so it's nice to have a break. seeing some warm weather of the the temperatures that will be very warm reaching into the upper 80s. we'll talk more about this in the forecast coming up in a few minutes.

an official ceremony. in our great grad segment, congratulations to these 12 elementary students. way to go, guys. you're moving on to a new chapter in your life. share a candid of your graduate. you might see it on tv. you can find me or marcus on facebook, laura garcia nbc bay area. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 6:45 taking a look at our clear sun rise over the south bay on what will be the warmest day of the week. we'll see the temperatures trending into the 80s but some spots may hit 90. we'll talk more about this and the outlook for the next two weeks coming up in a few minutes. uc and cal state students are among the latest groups to claim that they' getting their money's worthwhile attending classes online. attorneys have filed lawsuits against both demanding refunds on student fees. the lawsuits argue that because students are now away from campus they're not able to utilize many of the things student fees pay for. president trump has skipped another coronavirus press conference. but in the end he was still out there in the rose garden in front of television cameras. scott mcgrew joins us with more. good morning. we have been talking in the past couple of days about how he had been avoiding those news

conferences. there had been a coronavirus briefing scheduled for yesterday but the white house canceled it. he spent time talking about the victims of coronavirus. this after "the washington post" criticized him for not taking more time to talk about the human loss. here is the president. >> today i would like to provide, we continue to mourn with those whose loved ones have been stolen from us by the invible as one family, this great american family, and we do grieve. we also stand in solidarity with the thousands of americans who are ill and waging a brave fight against the virus. we're doing everything in our power to heal the sick. >> we were showing you texas nail salons earlier in the show. several states are opening up at

least a little bit and that alarms the white house. in georgia there was criticism by president trump himself for that state opening too early. so what you're get something a lot of mixed messages. monday he thought some schools should open this month. that goes against what medical experts are saying. he's publicly criticizing georgia for being too lax while attorney general barr is saying the federal government may get involved if states are too restrictive in their lockdown. in the meantime as we talk about open or closed it really is all about testing. we've only done about 6 million tests nationwide. the white house said it's hoping for -- hoping for -- 7 million more each month. but medical experts say we would need about that many tests per day to get the economy open by august. what the white house hopes to do

>> yeah, and drink lots of water. try to get out. in dublin all bets are off. it will be a warm one. we're starting out with a cool morning with some mid-50s and we see that trend going up. by noon in the mid-70s. our normal high temperature is 71 degrees so we're going to be way above that. as we get a look at where we're headed for the day expected to reach into the mid to upper 80s. that's what we'll see. i wouldn't be surprised if spots like brentwood and fairfield hit 90 degrees today. and the good news is that we are going to have a cooldown. as we look at the overall pattern there is a storm system approaching. we will have a push of cooler air that shifts that wind over to an ocean breeze and that will help cool us off.

the climate prediction center says here in the bay area we are going to have above normal temperatures and that will especially be the case across southern california with below average rainfall. they're saying for the next couple of weeks that we're still looking at some dry weather and we know that in northern california we are now in a severe drought in some spots that drought is extreme. so looking at over the next seven days still no rain in the forecast but at least we will cool off going from the upper 80s to the mid-70s over the next several days so that's something we'll be watching as we head deeper into spring. back to you. >> thank you very much. we want you to be able to keep watching us, so if you watch nbc bay area with an antenna we have some important information for you. we're actually moving to a new transmitter tomorrow. now that means you have to rescan your tv on or after 1:00 p.m. tomorrow or you'll lose our
