happening with the morning commute. >> yeah, but i am not driving. if i did, it would be hand free. the maps show smooth traffic, and i want to point out northbound 280 yesterday we had repairs until 8:30, 9:00, and that caused a lot of slowing. and maybe the crews in place are blocking two lanes today. we are over on the right where we expected, the altamont pass shows slowing right now, and it's only 5:11 and it's a thursday, and we are seeing slowing. back to you. >> thanks, mike. new concerns in parts of michigan overnight where those floodwaters are still rising. ahead for you, 5:25, the new communities now at risk as the activate emergency plans.

(music fades in) hey! -hi! ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ that could mean an increase byin energy bills.. you can save by using a fan to cool off... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or closing your shades during the day. stay well and keep it golden.

right now at 5:14, as you get ready to head out to work in

concord, we are starting out with light jacket weather but comfortable for the afternoon as we see a trend that will head into the 70s today. still very nice. more on this in the forecast and a very hot weekend. that's kupblicoming up in a few minutes. good morning and good thursday to you as well. thursday is when we get first-time jobless claims and we will get those numbers at 5:30. tensions growing a bit with china and that has the stock market uneasy. secretary of state, mike pompeo, congratulated the president of taiwan on her win for re-election, and that makes china uneasy. china claims there's only one china, china and taiwan put together, and america recognizes two, and when talking to china only recognizes one, and it's weird but that's how it works. adding to the unease, president

trump seems to single out president xi in a tweet. then there's the stock market. >> the second largest coffee shop chain in china. >> turns out that company was faking i thi faking its coffee numbers, and now there's a bill passed to make it difficult for china to trade on our exchanges and that would cut off capital to chinese companies. back in the bay area a lot of our funding is tied to capital, and it's really important to us, and those in the investment firms that write the checks to start up an

economy, and they are still writing checks to young startups and doing it over zoom. >> it's a big change for us. as you know we are in the people business and we are investing in intrapreneurs and their vision and a big part of that is getting to know them and as a result we are doing lots of zoom calls and reference checks and spending a lot of time still talking to these people and connecting with them and doing it on the phone and through zoom. so far so good, though. we have been making investments for those we have met through zoom and not in person, yet. >> and marcus and laura, you know i do a podcast about venture capital and it gets into the weeds of how all this works, and i bring it up because it's so important to the bay area economy. they write million-dollar checks to startups that employ people, and then buy cars and furniture and coffee and lunches and things, and this is why it's so

important to hear they are still writing checks even now. >> it's great to see. you know, the innovation you see in silicon valley as well, and i would imagine a lot more will come out of what we are dealing with right now in the pandemic. >> let's hope. >> yeah. speaking of innovation, if you are an owner of the newer version of the iphone with the facial recognition and you are wearing a mask, and i know about this personally, you have the delays with the password options, but the latest ios update has your answer. until now the user with the mask on would have to wait for the phone to bounce away from the face id screen, and sometimes it does the rise and repeat which can delay the phone even more, and in the new update the phone will recognize the mask and go immediately to the other sign-in

options. and then many are going to vacation despite the virus. a new travel survey found 71% of americans say they are taking vacation between now and the end of summer, and 50% say likely by the end of the year, and top destinations are parks, beaches and hotel and resorts. an a list actress is entering the social media challenge to keep everybody laughing during the pandemic. let's take a look. >> is that funny? >> do you recognize her. kate hudson and her daughter, and kate's mother, goldie hahn,

started the laughing challenge. >> it's happiness. >> yeah, we have a lot of those during the show. we laugh all the time. >> that's true. >> and something else to make you smile, olympic gold medalist, shaun white, and while he was driving by kids he was holding up a sign asking him to join him. he decided to stop and skate with them a short time at a safe distance, of course, and he said even though the kids' had masks on, and he was really happy to skate with them. you see the bandana, and they are kids, of course. >> yeah, and a nice day ahead as well, and i think we will start to creep up temperature wise, kari? >> yeah, still going to be fairly mild today. just a couple degrees warmer than yesterday, and you probably won't feel too much of a

difference. we start to see the temperatures ramping up as we go into the weekend. let's get a look at where we are starting this morning. a cool and refreshing start as we take a look now in dublin and we are seeing people up and out the door feeling temperatures in the mid-40s in parts of the tri-valley and north bay, and we see 50s in concord and it's 51 degrees in san jose. our pollen count, still moderate. we have a little bit of everything floating through the air from tree pollen to grass pollen and weed pollen as well. just a heads up about that so you don't forget your allergy medication before you head out the door. our temperatures today, once again a few degrees warmer than yesterday but still nice and comfortable, feeling spring like with upper 70s in san jose, and up to 82 in antioch and 80 degrees in napa and santa rosa and san francisco stays cool. then as we go through our forecast, high pressure builds and ourmpratures will build, too, especially d by memorial dy

we are looking very hot weather as that high pressure moves right overhead and our temperatures will peak on tuesday before coming down just slightly. here's a look at our 7-day forecast for the inland valleys and some of our warmest spots, we will see highs in the low 80s today and tomorrow and then mid-80s on saturday, and upper 80s on sunday and then once again really hot early next week. mike, you have been tracking the commute. what has been going on out there? >> 580 westbound, there's more slowing, and slowing off 205 as well, and then the arrow in the middle of the screen now, like we said, showing slowing for westbound 84, and that cut through between 580 and 680 towards sunol. that will build construction in cupertino but the slowing we saw

earlier cleared up. you have two lanes southbound from wolf to lawrence. back to you, marcus. >> thanks, mike. growing concerns over a possible second wave. coming up next, we will talk about the number of americans who say they are fearful of what is next as the country begins to reopen. first, our team always on social distancing, and kari, this is over the weekend, they were glamping, yes, that is a tent inside kari's home. you should follow her on instagram. she does nice things with her family. it's 5:23. you are watching "today in the bay."

these days, everyone expects you to like everything and be positive. but with my depression, it's hard to keep up this brave face and hide my symptoms. even though i'm taking my antidepressant, i still feel depressed. many people taking antidepressants still experience symptoms. when added to an antidepressant, rexulti is proven to reduce depression symptoms 62% more than the antidepressant alone. so you can stay on your current treatment and help build on your progress. rexulti can cause serious side effects. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts or worsen depression in those under 25.

call your doctor if you have fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, which may signal a life-threatening condition, or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be permanent. increased cholesterol; weight gain; high blood sugar; decreased white blood cells; compulsive behaviors; dizziness; dizziness; seizures; trouble swallowing may occur. now when i say "good times," i mean it. feel better about facing the world. talk to your doctor about adding rexulti. pay as little as $15 for your refills.

it feels great to relax with your family and have a nice dinner. >> right now at 5:30, more restaurants reopening today to serve in-person lunches and dinners. next, solano county and others get the go ahead to go deeper into phase two of the reopening. and then a live report coming up on the new role in the fight against covid-19. to wear or not wear face

protection? south bay leaders set to reopen tomorrow. i am laura garcia. >> i am marcus washington. let's get started with this thursday, and meteorologist kari hall has been tracking the forecast for us, and it's starting out nice today, kari? >> yeah, it's a nice view over martinez this morning. as we watch the sun rise, the sky is clear and we will get a lot of sunshine today. let's check out our trend for today, and we will start out with the mid-50s and then warm up as we go into later today, upper 70s and low 80s expected, and in the forecast it's going to get hot. i will have more on that in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. traffic is smooth right now, and might see more traffic up towards the level we saw on tuesday. we will see. we have slowing from the

altamont pass and over to the right there is slowing. the second bay area county is allowing diners to return to restaurants. bob redell is live in solano county, and i know other businesses can loosen their restrictions as well. >> reporter: yes, the state gave solano county permission yesterday to go ahead to allow retail stores and malls to reopen, and it's just some of the kind of businesses we are talking about. schools can reopen later in the summer and fall, and restaurants like the one downtown here in benicia, they can let diners come in and eat again as long as they are six feet apart. this was the scene in downtown joe's in napa last night. there was a good crowd and enjoying the meal out for the first time since march. napa is the first county to move

into the reopening phase, and some restaurants say they won't reopen until this weekend and they want to make sure they follow the correct protocols. >> we were affected before all of this, and luckily the napa valley is a big tourist area and we are hoping to draw all that back. >> i am calling customers and saying we are open now, and come down and have a glass of wine with us, and we are giving discounts in the store. >> reporter: some of the businesses in napa, though, have to wait before reopening, that includes salons, tattoo parlors and bars. unlike many other bay area counties, santa clara never

officially ordered masks to be worn although the health department strongly urges it. the san jose order would be more like those in other counties, basically anytime you interact with others. cupertino and milpitas already did the same thing. enforcement will likely be a low priority. ventura and san diego counties can offer more dine-in and shopping options. both have met the state's requirements to accelerate the reopening process. san diego county is the second most populated county in california. this is a really interesting story this morning. san francisco wants to put its librarian and all their researching power to work to actually track coronavirus

patients as well, and it's something that could help lift the shelter-in-place order for so many. let's check in with "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez, and she can tell us more about how it works. >> reporter: we have been hitting this, as the governor is requiring more contract tracing before all the shelter-in-place orders can be lifted, and that's why a lot of local governments are trying to get creative with their workforces right now. san francisco, hundreds of city workers, and librarians, and assessors and city attorneys who are trained to operator as disease detectives, and they are trying to slow the of covid-19 by reaching out topeop but may not know it. >> we have a list of people we are trying to call on the phone

who have been exposed to somebody who tested positive for the covid-19 virus. >> santa clara county is also asking public and community organizations to identify any staff they have that they can redeploy to work as contact tracers. city health officials estimates that california needs at least 12,000 contact tracers for the population of nearly 40 million people, and that's why ucsf and uc san diego will have the tracers. i will put a link in my twitter feed and facebook page in case you are interested in that kind of work. coming up on the "today" show, more on how san francisco and the bay area are leading the way in contact tracing. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you. california's office of emergency services is announcing plans to put all pandemic surf

sites into shutdown status effective the end of june. you may remember the state leased the facility when it appeared days from being shutdown back in march. since then a buyer has stepped forward to take over the facility, and it plans to keep seaten medical in operation. the financial hit for walnut creek and the east bay is $12 million since the pandemic hit. it's according to the "east bay times." they are saying 86% in sales tax revenue happened as well. santa clara county leaders are talking about launching an online dashboard to track the pandemic spending. the money spent should be transparent. they will debate about it next week. concerned parents and teachers in oakland are joining the state-wide effort to convince governor newsom to

order the halt of planned school closers and the reasons have to do with health risks, and the group argues with less campuses available students will have less space to social distance. the safe in-person rally is planned today in oakland as well as los angeles santa rosa is planning to roll out a new program in the next month or so. they are trying to help people make it in the bay during the pandemic. the city plans to start a fund to help 50 households that have lost income. it will help low and middle income renters. it will be de o the beneficiaries will have to use 30% of their funds to help,

and the federal money will pay the rest. and meanwhile, parks and beaches reopened yesterday in mendocino, but visitors are being told to stay away. the mayor of south lake tahoe is telling visitors to stay away, especially with the memorial day weekend coming up. the city is starting to phase in phase two of their reopening plan. the mayor says some businesses can reopen to start serving locals again. vote something now open for those that have a tahoe-only sticker and seal on their boat. it will take time to get all the boats up and running to meet the safety requirements. >> we are shooting for a june 1st opening. >> the mayor says they will

waive fines for second homeowners to come up, but i don't think they are allowed to rent any of their units out there. people want to do traveling on memorial day to get away, but we have to remember what is going on and be safe out there. >> that is the key, being safe, as we are also going to have hot weather heading into the bay area. it's nice and refreshing right now. take a look at the live view from cupertino looking over the south bay, and we will wake up to a nice clear sunrise. we will get a lot of sunshine, not only today but the next few days, and enjoying the weather now until we are going to see our temperatures heating up. we are in the upper 70s today in san jose. up to 82 degrees in antioch, and 77 today in clear lake. we will talk more about how hot it gets in the forecast coming up, and mike is still keeping an eye on the morning commute. >> yeah, kari.

thank goodness it's cool right now, but southbound 280 from lawrence to wolf, they could be there until 1:00 p.m. and it could get warm in the area, and they are trying to do most of the work early in the morning. the icon over there, westbound 580, there's not a crash but a disabled vehicle, and no slowing there but it will continue to build westbound o. lights, camera, action. still ahead for you this morning on "today in the bay," what governor newsom is saying about getting hollywood filming back up and running. and then president trump threatening to cut off michigan's federal funding. how your student can sign up to take part in one celebration, when we return.

numbers are out. another 2.4 million americans filed first-time claims. that matched the forecast, but when it comes to the continuing claims that number is up to 25 million. a total that has never been reached before. president trump is traveling to michigan today. he's going to tour a ford plant that is making ventilators. >> scott mcgrew, the president has been asked to wear a mask while on the tour. >> yes, by the governor of michigan and attorney general of michigan, and it's not only michigan's rules, but it's ford motor's rules to do that. in the past, the president has not worn a mask although those around him have, and the vice president was criticized for not wearing a mask while visiting patients in the hospital. and ford had to close down two

lines, one in dearborn and one in chicago, illinois, because workers on the line had covid-19 and they needed to clean that area. president trump's visit to michigan comes just 24 hours after he tweeted he might suspend federal funding to the state and nevada as well because those states are enabling vote by mail. the threat of pulling funding comes in the middle of a natural disaster for michigan as we have been reporting, unusually heavy rain has caused dams to breach, causing massive flooding. it puts president trump in a position of threatening and empathizing. >> i have specific funding. i just spoke with the governor. we did not discuss that, we discussed the topic at hand and the dam's breaking, but we will

let you know if it's necessary. you will be finding out -- they will be finding out soon if it's necessary. i don't think it will be necessary because mail-in ballots are a dangerous thing. they are subject to massive fraud. >> we will be tweeting about the president's visit, and plus michael cohen getting out of prison early due to the covid-19 threat. follow me on twitter, i'm @scottmcgrew. and then this morning an investigation under way into a deadly police shooting in hayward. it happened yesterday afternoon at kelly and wildwood streets, and that's near value's burgers traffic stop, and sometime during the traffic stop officers shot a man and he died at the scene. and undocumented immigrants trying to get help during the pandemic are facing obstacles. there are long lines, and

applicants are being turned away because they can only apply over the phone, but the lines are typically very, very busy. one woman we spoke to said she waited on the phone for nearly eight hours before finally reaching an operator. >> it's that old place that is closed. the help is for my bills and my rent and my food. >> an estimated $2 million undocumented immigrants make up 10% of california's workforce. the leaders are more than 1,200 california church vow to defy the stay-at-home order and reopen ten days from now. they made a pledge in the letter to the governor and the governor's office so far not commenting. it comes in the wake of a letter sent by the department of justice calling the governor's

restrictions asjuna, and they l places -- liquor stores open, and the church can't open and we don't think that's right. >> his church opened its doors last weekend after being closed two months, and they are practicing social distancing to make sure parishioners are safe. and then a roundtable talk yesterday, governor newsom said the state is preparing guidelines for reopening the film industry. starting on monday, some productions for television and commercials as well will start in counties that are not as bad during the pandemic. if the nba manages to get its season back on track, it

looks like there may be a lot of magic involved. this is because rumors are swirling about the magic kingdom being the host location for all of the games, specifically we are talking about orlando's walt disney world's sport complex. sources say it's possible they may resume by mid july and play up to four weeks, but nothing at this point is confirmed. new for you this morning, the 49ers helping high school graduates keep everything going and get over the goal line. that team along with learning platform sheg is holding a virtual graduation next weekend, and it will include special appearances by some of the 49ers. you can sign up on the 49ers' website. >> it's nice they are coming up with a lot of unique ways to

honor these grads. we remember what it felt like to be 18 and graduating. >> and they are going through a tough time, but nobody has ever gone through this, so they hold a unique space in history right now. >> yeah, no kidding. and what will they do with this information or these feelings and move on from here, you know? we all have to try and rise above everything we can. >> we do. we really do. 5:51 for you this morning. the sun is rising up above us right now. kari hall has been tracking the forecast that we can expect today, and looks like it's still kind of dry out there for us, kari. >> yeah, it has been very dry and even though we recently got some rain, and we just got an update on the drought monitor this morning and it's showing no change from last week, and we are in a severe drought across the bay area, and extreme drought across far northern california, and as we get a closer look at the bay area we need up to about 16 inches of

rain to catch up to normal in santa rosa. we know at this point that's probably not going to happen. san jose at a deficit of about seven inches of rain for the water year. as we start out this morning we are seeing the sky clearing in the tri-valley and dublin, and right now our temperatures cool kwreu in the upper 40s. it's going to be a nice day, but we are getting ready for hotter weather to move in as we get into the weekend as well as memorial day, and so as high pressure builds we are looking at a ramp up in our temperatures and it's going to be hot for several days, and we are talking about highs in the 90s. enjoy today while we still have weather in the low 80s today. also, low 80s tomorrow, and then as we go into the weekend once again, that is when the temperatures start to go up and we will reach up to 94 degrees for early next week. mike, you have been watching the commute. any new issues popping up?
