4:31 am
and a very good tuesday morning. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. mike is keeping his eye on that commute for us this tuesday morning. we want to start out with meteorologist kari hall with a look at that forecast for today. kari, walking outside this morning, i was like, ooh, it is cooler out here. i like this. >> okay, we're making some progress here. we're going to see a very nice day. our temperature trend today will be very much like yesterday. we're starting out cool and we'll see it going up into the mid-70s by noon. it will feel very nice. our high temperatures expect to reach into the mid-80s today. once again matching yesterday's temperatures. even a slight cooldown for parts of the inland east bay. we're still hot further to the north with clear lake and ukiah in the upper 90s. san francisco will be in the upper 60s. we'll talk about all of those micro climates and what's ahead for the rest of the week coming
4:32 am
up. how is it looking for the early morning commute, mike? well, kari, we do have one problem spot. if we look at the big map, everything looks just fine as far as the green sensors go. look over on the right side, the tri-valley southbound 680 is where we have only one lane of the freeway open. sand and gravel. chp sounds like all they need to do is clean up the gravel. was up and walking around and so that's the safety note traveling south jamming up and clear by the time you pass by the sunol boulevard. traveling off the dublin interchange. we'll track that. back to you. >> thanks, mike. an up-to-the-minute look on governor newsom's watch list. this map where you can see all of the bay area. right now all but two of these counties, san francisco and san mateo, on that watch list.
4:33 am
or not on the watch list, those two-counties. santa clara county and its inclusion and the governor's new restrictions sparking a flood of confusion. sunday night south bay gyms, hair salons, were getting ready to finally reopen after four months of closures. yesterday many reopened. and then later that day some of the businesses learned they would have to close again by midnight tonight. needless to say it's left many of the workers feeling confused and frustrated. >> when i got the call from you, i thought it was a prank. we're shutting down? we just opened up. >> it's very frustrating. in silicon valley you can't live on unemployment. >> we want to be very clear, those businesses will be allowed to open today but not tomorrow. we'll stay on top of the story for you. we'll have a full report at 5:00. we're learning that smoking seems to be a really big factor when it comes to young adults
4:34 am
and covid-19. those are new findings. one in three young adults is at risk of contracting a severe case of coronavirus. of that number smokers leave themselves 100% vulnerable catching covid-19. compare that to about 16% of nonsmokers. about the same percentage of young adult women and men are at risk. santa clara county is opening three new sites today. two are in san jose and the other in gilroy. they will all be considered pop-up sites offering free nasal swab tests. no questions asked. testing is available today at the county service center auditorium and at independent high school. the gilroy pop-up from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 today through friday and
4:35 am
select hours. san francisco supervisors may be poised to call on the state to reduce san quentin's inmate population where there's been a major outbreak. we've been talking about it for some time. we're going to discuss a resolution asking the governor's office to reduce the prison population and move some of san quentin's inmates elsewhere. about half of the inmates there are now infected amounting to about 1,500 cases. at least ten deaths are tied to the virus. we could see history made at a police department. berkeley possibly becoming one of the first to stop its police from enforcing traffic stops. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is in berkeley to break down the proposal. cierra, what could this really mean for drivers if you're just passing through? >> reporter: that means a traffic stop here in berkeley could look a lot different if this proposal is given the green light.
4:36 am
reimagine policing here in berkeley citing recent conversations surrounding race and racial inequality as a catalyst. they want to create a department of transportation. traffic and parking enforcement, crossing guards and collision response would shift away from berkeley pd and into this newly created department made up of civil servants. writers of the proposal explain it would reduce the need for interaction with civilians and ensure a lens of racial justice. >> they really harm us rather than protect us. i think that's a good measure, everything berkeley is doing to cut back on funding and those kinds of things i'm totally in favor of. >> it's fine to rethink and for everybody to talk about. and be aware of what's going on. i think that can only be good for everybody including the police.
4:37 am
maybe they're too much involved in social service stuff and wouldn't want to be involved that way. i think it's a long process and everybody should be talking about it. >> reporter: those who drafted the proposal acknowledge there had would be upfront costs associated with making the shift but they did not specify exactly how much it would cost. councilmembers will present this proposal tonight and given the pandemic that conference would, of course, take place over a teleconference. that meeting begins at 6:00 p.m. we're live in berkeley, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> if it passes, it will be interesting how that all works. thank you, cierra. 4:37 this morning. the search for the missing naya rivera comes to an end. plus, one of america's

4:48 am
sea surface temperatures near the equator. as we go into the next couple of months it could influence our weather. we are seeing a weak event that could give us near normal or above normal rainfall as we head into the next couple of months and so we're watching for that with our average rainfall potential, the last one we had was just a couple years ago. we'll talk more about this throughout the morning. mike, how is it looking for the commute? kari, we have one problem. we'll start with that. everything else is looking great but the tri-valley southbound 680 still registers with all lanes closed. chp talking about the crash that resulted in gravel and sand across the roadway. they have closed all of the lanes including the left lane. the sweeper truck, though, is on scene. that's the good news. about ten minutes ago chp said it should be ten minutes. we're hoping for lanes to reopen now. off the dublin interchange you will be jammed up.
