to shut down the port of oakland in honor of juneteenth. plus, a new mask mandate. what you need to know about california's newest requirement and why the cdc says you may not want to wear a certain kind of mask. it's father's day weekend, so how about that forecast? vianey is tracking the heat and when we'll see some relief. the third hour of "today in the bay" continues right now. a very good morning to you and thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. as we get started with this friday mike is keeping an eye on that traffic for us and vianey is keeping track of that forecast. let's check in with vianey right now. vianey, we've been talking about it's going to be a hot one out there but more so for the inland areas. right. we're going to see some cooling and fog that rolled in overnight and we're going to keep the low clouds lingering in some parts of the coastline all day long. let's take a look at how inland

temperatures will be doing. areas like san jose will remain fairly warm in the upper 80s by about 2:00. now keep in mind that's usually &+sort of the hottest time of t day. if you want to enjoy the 60s and the 70s, you do that before 2:00. now as we head into the weekend, father's day forecast is looking spectacular. plenty of sunshine expected, perfect day for grilling. if you have a backyard, it should be a nice one. mike? all right. we'll do that grilling regardless. we'll find a way. looking to the roadways and san jose shows a nice, easy drive. for our camera north 101 north of 680 a lighter volume shows up on the camera but the map shows you just past our camera a little slowing, some brake tapping up to oakland road. no surprises for the area. i guess it just cleared. the sensors went to orange and back to green. the rest of the bay shows an easier drive. i have one concern over in oakland but mostly light traffic.

folks aren't just talking about it being friday, though. no, it's also juneteenth and celebrations are taking place. of course juneteenth marking the end of slavery. it'll be weighing probably a lot more heavily on a lot of americans' minds this year after george floyd's death began a huge new movement and discussion about race. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson joins to us talk about some of the celebrations going on in the bay area. good morning. >> reporter: it was 155 years ago today that a group of slaves in texas were notified slavery ended two years ago juneteenth was born. we have a renewed passion about this day. now in the bay area there are several organizations holding events to honor juneteenth. at 1:00 today a march and a rally at san francisco city

hall. the event runs until 3:00. and participants are asked to practice social distancing. the group has organized an event. their festival will start at noon today at pioneer park. the event is free and runs until 6:00. there will be some food, entertainment and speeches. they will stop work at several ports in honor of juneteenth. 29 will participate in the shutdown. workers will march to city hall in a move of solidarity. >> so we call on each union, each community organization, each church each member of society to come out and join us, join us on juneteenth, and celebrating the freedom of the african-american people in this country.

when the african-american people were freed, everyone was freed. all lives matter, black lives matter. >> reporter: as the popularity and awareness of this holiday spread, many businesses have joined some states in honoring juneteenth as an official holiday. the nfl marks it as an official league holiday as does nike and twitter. creigh ae creigh cierra johnson, "today in the bay." mayor libby schaaf is investigating a rope hanging in a tree at lake merritt as a hate crime. she's doing so even though the man who put them there say the ropes were to have people out there exercise and as a swing for people to enjoy. sebastian, the man who is not giving his last name, tells nbc bay area that he hoped people would get more clarity before they made any concerns. the mayor had strong reaction to that saying her message is clear

and not an overreaction. >> there were five different trees where ropes were removed yesterday and just because his was part of a swing apparatus that is not clear with all of those instances. adding more fuel to the fire, police took down a fake body and a white material hanging from a noose at lake merritt. police said they found an american flag nearby as well. the mayor is asking the fbi to investigate. >> mayor london breed is asking for a new pause. she says the move will make more time for an audit of law enforcement exams. the city's human resources department will conduct the review. 48% of sfpd's force are white. 17% either hispanic or asian respectively. 9% are black. 6% are filipino.

1.5% identify as other. less than 1% are native americans. supporters of police reform have reportedly won a temporary injunction blocking oakland police and the city from using tear gas and rubber bullets on protesters. it also bans flashbang grenades but allows any measures to be taken to protect people and property. the order will remain in effect indefinitely. the conversation about race is continuing. and marcus has been leading that with our continuing special race in america: the conversation. you had a special last night. >> absolutely. it is a tough conversation for a lot of people to have. so many people want to have it right now. jessica aguirre and i were pretty much leading the kfgs last night. she was able to speak with eddie garcia on using rubber bullets

during a protest. >> like what? what would you get rid of? the big thing is like rubber bullets? should you have those? >> well, i think we can on rubber batons that we have i think we need to narrow the scope and when we can use it. one of the things officers have a difficult job they have to do. we need to narrow the scope when police officers can use certain types of force. that's certainly something we need to look at. >> chief garcia also made it a point to say the departments need more transparency to go public on how they use that force, who they use the force against and just hearing each other out really is a part of that conversation. and it provides understanding for a lot of people. >> that's right. you had several different interviews last night as well. >> we did. we had v. kamau bell. what i love about his explanation on things, he's a comedian so he made it interesting and i think he lightened the mood for some

people who find it hard to have those conversations, find it hard to hear the explanation on many things of using the "n" word, black lives matter versus all lives matter and just how to start conversations. >> right. he really helped and i enjoyed that conversation with him. >> and you also gave great explanations about all lives matter, black lives matter, what it means and the difference there, too. keep it up. and of course the listening for people as well. thank you so much. of course this is just the beginning here at nbc bay area. we'll continue these conversations and, of course, continue the listening as well. it's so important. >> absolutely. 6:08 for you that morning and many businesses considered high risk will be allowed to reopen in sonoma and napa counties including gyms, movie theaters, tattoo parlors, museums and nail salons.

sonoma county certain family businesses like mini golf, hotels and short-term rentals can also open for recreational travel but traveling long distance really still discouraged under health orders. meantime masks are now mandatory no matter where you go. the governor issuing that order because of the rise in covid-19 cases. kris sanchez joins us live. kris, you don't have your mask on but there is a good reason. >> reporter: i promise i'm not in trouble. i'm not within six feet of anybody, even my photographer allen is way back behind the camera so that is allowed under the new mask mandate. there are a lot of other specifics you'll want to know before you head outside. a business, restaurant, hospitals, the mall that's behind me now. work or in places where you interact with others, i saw that as i was in the station earlier this week.

taxis and ride shares, b.a.r.t., you have to wear your mask. outdoors only if you cannot social distance. bring your mask, have it ready to put on in case you have to, even if you're in your neighborhood on a crowded sidewalk. the exceptions are children under the age of 2 do not have to wear masks. people who are hearing impaired or communicate with people who are hearing impaired don't have to wear a mask, and you don't have to wear a mask if you're at a restaurant having dinner as long as you are keeping a social distance. critics say the mandate goes too far but governor newsom says that with covid-19 cases on the rise again time to tighten up a little bit. critics say, again, remember to wear your mask, pick the right one that fits properly. make sure you cover your nose,

your mouth. your chin does not need protecting. when you pull it down like that, it is chin protection not face protection. by the way, we'll be wearing these for longer so make sure you wash them once in a while. as you put them in your bag, in your car, you might pick covid virus up somewhere so make sure you wash them and they're nice and fresh. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." thanks so much, kris. 6:11. today you can officially raise a glass in livermore. more than 50 wineries are reopening. but you can't just stop by for happy hour. you must have a reservation made in advance. no more than six people are allowed when you book one and each tasting must be atopped by a meal outside. and getting outside has been lovely for a lot of folks. it's been warm, vianey. it has. we were in the upper 90s. concord at 99 yesterday, but

inland areas like the south bay, san jose, really no worries when it comes to the cloud cover. let's look at the hour by hour outlook so you can clearly see the coastline with the clouds lingering all day long but how hot is it going to be and why do i keep saying cooler but still hot? yesterday we were at 99 in some inland areas. today in the low 90s. so that's a cooldown of about ten degrees. which is pretty significant. it still keeps us at that 90, upper 80 mark. outside doing any sort of activity keep in mind that tree and grass pollen is kind of in the air right now. don't forget to take your medication. you'll be a sneezing mess like me when i forget to take mine. it's going to feel like summer and on father's day fantastic day to celebrate dad. it really doesn't get better. 90s inland. yeah, a little hot but we'll be back down to the 60s for san francisco by father's day.

brady, their nonstop norwegian air flight from rome to oakland was canceled the day they were supposed to fly. norwegian air didn't get them home until two days later so madison filed for compensation. a savvy move. they make them pay up to $670 each. but norwegian denied madison. its letter said engine safety inspection caused the flight cancellation that was beyond its control and therefore ineligible for compensation. madison asked us to take a look. we did. we found the engine inspections have been going on for a couple years now. so we asked norwegian why it didn't give them more notice about the cancellation? and asked the carrier to reconsider. within three days norwegian agreed to pay the max under the law $1,340. in a statement norwegian said we apologize it wasn't assessed properly when the complaint was originally submitted. the policy that paid off is eu

representing not just black people but all of the other folks that i'm supposed to represent, community members, community stakeholders. they're not just black. they're brown, they're women, they're lgbtq. there are so many folks that i'm representing. if my voice isn't there, if i'm not there, it's not going to be talked about. >> you carry that responsibility and you carry it proud. i know you do because you have a lot of passion. >> yes, sir. >> certainly a great conversation last night. we had many people on here in the bay area. we had people sending in their questions from online. we were streaming on facebook and youtube, chris chmura was monitoring that. we were able to answer a lot of those questions and open the door to communication and understanding, laura. i think that's the big key. what we're really trying to do with these conversations that we're having, just trying to start the dialogue to understand it. >> right, be open, and it's okay to ask questions. it's how everybody needs to learn the answers.

>> if you don't know. >> viewers have been emailing you. >> i've gotten a lot of emails how they appreciate being so open and honest and providing just a little bit more understanding about what's going on. it takes time and research and education on your own. certainly they feel they're getting more than they ever knew before. >> that's good. that's great. we'll continue the conversation as well. marcus, you will probably have more specials on it as well. thank you for that and getting up early. you were up late last night working. it is friday, my friend. >> it was worth it, too. >> it was. many people nationwide, here in the bay area as well, celebrating juneteenth today. this is the history dating back to 1865 when union soldiers told enslaved people in galveston, texas, the civil war was over and they were free.

creating a virtual juneteenth. black housing and regarding rock building and training and developing our young people to feel empowered during the day. that is very important to us. we need to recognize juneteenth on a grander level. >> and we talked about recognizing a lot of mepeople never heard of juneteenth before. talk to us about the importance of maybe even teaching this in schools. we both talked about growing up in school we didn't get taught what juneteenth was. you had to learn it later in life. >> certainly. it's a requirement in college to take american history, but it was an option to take black history or african-american history. i believe we need to make sure african-american studies is a requirement in schools to teach about the history of african-americans and how we have evolved in the country, how we have paved the way in many fronts and really did a lot of

groundwork in how america's economic engine was developed through utilizing and abusing slaves and so juneteenth needs to be told and needs to be recognized across the land in all classrooms. >> all right. black history is truly american history. milan balintin, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. happy juneteenth, everybody. >> laura? >> there you go. good to see. let's get to the forecast right now with vianey. >> yes, it's going to be a hot one but cooler than yesterday. let's get a look at the bay area, what you can expect in terms of your high. 89 in san jose. 90 degrees. east san jose 93. milpitas, 89. oakland, 79 degrees. martinez, 87. pleasanton, 92. along the peninsula right now
