a recall effort. >> reporter: there certainly is. that's something we'll discuss in a minute. this -- the prosecutors and police are wrestling with whether or not this was a hate crime in this instance because the victim was an elderly asian man. and later on this morning at 9:00, they plan on arraigning 26-year-old teaunte bailey of oakland for murder here in dublin at the east county hall of justice. 75-year-old pak ho of oakland died in high land hospital yesterday after being assaulted and critically injured dur a president biden talked about recent attacks on asian-americans and the head of the chinatown's chamber of

way. >> just occurred to me. >> kris is green. >> yeah. no radar today, no radar green, right, vianey? >> yeah, not today, but by sunday evening things will change. we have a new storm approaching. so let's take a look at your headlines for today because we're starting out chilly. 30s and 40s right now. springing forward on sunday though. we'll set our clocks ahead by one hour which means that starts at 2:00 a.m. so if you have you know the manual clocks like your stove tops or for example up my car, my car doesn't do it by itself but your phone will typically do it on its own. the next rain chances are on sunday night but speaking of springing forward, you know, as we inch closer to sunday and i know a lot of people say they're losing an hour of sleep, but we're getting more sunshine. a quick update, it's been warmer on average. spring has trended 90% warmer over the years which is two

below averages in 2010 and 2011. that could mean an earlier start to our fire season and if which don't get more rain that means drier conditions. now over to mike. all right. really fearing those words fire season. but thank you for that heads up. breaking news on san mateo bridge, the traffic alert is waved off. the light is changing a bit, but we see slowing on the highrise a bit. on the approach to the flat section, things have cleared up on the rise itself. we may have one lane still blocked by a fire crew reportedly on scene. but i would say if you want to stay clear, use the dunbarton bridge. that is clearer than the san mateo bridge. but it's recovered nicely over the last few. i'll show you the bay bridge coming up real quick, but now back over to scott. good morning. coming up an airline ceo said those layoff notices we sent

hi, there. it's 6:12. take a look at your east bay commute. it is cold right now in the 30s, about 36 degrees and by 9:00 a.m. it will be in the 40s. once that sunshine takes full effect we're talking about mid and upper 60s for a lovely spring afternoon as we get closer to springing forward on sunday. but we have more rain on the way. full forecast in a few minutes. and vianey, combining all my sources i'm going to say that san mateo bridge is cleared. the sensors are great. that crash is now getting handled i'm sure. as we look at the bay bridge, the westbound commute off the east bay, as expected it's friday it's light traffic as promised there's a look at the toll plaza. well, good morning and happy friday to you as well. the company behind coors beer said hackers have affected how

much beer they can make. in a regulatory filing they said the production is off line because of that hack and ransomware. united airline has canceled the latest furlough, and this after the stimulus law was made into law. united is one of the largest employers in san mateo county and doug parker posted this to instagram. >> so if you have one of those warnock notices we sent out, tear it up with vaccinations on the rise, hopefully never again. president biden and vice president harris will be explaining what's package. also big increaer families coul thousands of dollars in new support and reductions in health

care premiums means a growing number of americans will be getting health care for free. hotel chains and restaurants are scaling back layoff plans, both because of the stimulus and the speed at which we're vaccinating people. even more money may be coming your way. the california's insurance regulators said you paid too much for the car insurance. the companies returned $1.75 billion to consumers about 9%. california's insurance commission says it should be 17%. janet yellen will be on the "today" show talking about the stimulus. many people could see money in a matter of days, maybe even hours. >> americans will begin seeing those show up in their bank accounts this weekend. there's payments for rental assistance, for homeowners in

trouble. there will be money to support vaccinations. money for state and local governments to open schools. >> as i was saying marcus and laura, this is about more than just checks, particularly the child tax credits for families who don't make a lot of money. not only would they not be paying income tax, but a reverse of income tax. they'd be getting refunds and a lot of money to be honest with you. >> work to make it happen. thank you. so do you share your netflix password? we hear -- you know, from friends, anyway, that it is a common practice. we'd never do such a thing. netflix is now cracking down on it. if someone shares your account password they may see a message saying if you don't live with the owner of this account you need your own account to keep watching. maybe not that stern voice though. they'll have you verify the account through text or email. netflix has for a long time

looked the other way when people were sharing the passwords but with streaming wars heating up it's now changing its tune. >> when does that start? >> you better hurry and binge. trending this morning, a new out of this world video from pop superstar nick jonas. take a look. ♪♪ >> i like that beat. okay. that's the song.

[ laughter ] >> you know, ten years from now, i wish i had bought that. >> folks at home, follow us on twitter, you can get the nfts for free.

limited time only. >> i think jack dorsey is still there. let's look at the free forecast for you. no cost. just vianey giving it to us. >> yeah. guys, somebody wanted me to do a wellness check on binks. so binks! >> okay. >> hi, binks. >> leave me alone. >> he is good. he's knocked out. all right. so let's do our current temperature trend in the north bay. 43 degrees right now and we've got a lot of sunshine. look at what happens to the temperatures by the afternoon. 67 degrees. so it's going to start feeling very spring like around here. at least for today and tomorrow. walnut creek, 42 degrees right now. 44 by about 8:00 a.m. and eventually topping out in the mid 60s. all right. so what can we expect? are we in the clear of the rain? well, here's a look at doppler radar and satellite you see things have calmed down significantly. we have got high pressure. that cold frontal boundary that brought the wintry mix with a

combination of rain and hail, that's made the exit and we'll continue to see that sunshine for tomorrow. but today, your microclimate highs will be in the upper 50s, low 60s. very warm compared to yesterday. and long range outlook, this is what we're showing. so we have that low pressure system making its way out. high pressure will take over, but look at the pacific, it makes the approach late sunday afternoon, early monday. i'll give you an even closer hour by hour look tomorrow. shameless plug for the morning show on the weekends. we have to set our clocks an hour ahead on sunday and don't forget to spring forward. temperatures will be a lot nippier on sunday. it will be another winter drop when it comes to the temperatures and then the rain chances start to linger into monday and we have 60s ahead. we need the rain, right, mike?

>> yes, we do. we need that hour of sleep, but we want that sunlight. so we'll look at that angle that you talked about. all right, let's look at the roadways. pretty much any angle we look at the bridge itself, san mateo bridge is moving smoothly westbound away from us. the high rise and the incident have cleared it looks like. still on the chp blotter but i'll give the all-clear. a little bit of slowing for 84 and a little more traffic out on the at amonte pass. that makes the commute a lot easier. the bay bridge, the toll plaza shows a backup on the incline actually, not the toll plaza itself. the toll plaza is clear and no metering lights. back to you. thanks, mike. we want to clarify a story we brought to you this was on tuesday i believe it was. and we want to make a correction to what we were talking about and it involves the mega deal to

sell the building complex for over $1 billion. we incorrectly said the owner was dropbox and the building is in fact owned by kill roy reality. we apologize for that error. 6:21. next here on "today in the bay," bay area responds. >> two months, 400 cases, almost 75 grand in total. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. i have the cases. it's national working moms day. we work hard whether we work outside or not, but on instagram i'm honoring my mom who works in a pediatric's office and my sister, who is a teacher, still working. they find the time to make us feel special and my mom has time to shop for matching jammies. be sure to follow me on facebook, twitter, instagram. i'd love to know which working mom you'd like to honor today. you're watching "today in the bay."

this is a no-nonsense message from three. small business insurance usually doesn't cover everything you need. it's long on pages. short on coverage. that's why three was created. it covers your entire business in just one policy. because small business owners have enough on their hands. so go with three and leave those old policies in the dust. sawdust. technically. don't interrupt the spokesperson. this commercial is now over. logo. three. no nonsense. just common sense.

website promised a $393 hotel refund but he never got it and he called us. we stepped in and then he not all of the money back. nat in danville was battling a cruise line for extra flexibility to use leftover vouchers. after we made contact, two sides reached an agreement. that's a 16 -- $1,674. and david got $100 back into his wallet. if you have a case to consider, go to nbcbayarea.com, then click the responds option from the main menu or call us 888-996-tips. have great weekend. 6:26. another big moment in the bay area road to recovery in the pandemic. most schools don't begin play until next week, but some big

names including lasalle and san mateo and others getting early starts. teams are limited to the five-game season and just one scrimmage, but i'll tell you, it was good to see the kids wandering around our campus in the neighborhood too. well coming up next, top stories they we are a following for you on a friday morning. you have probably seen the video going viral. san francisco uber driver attacked and harassed while behind the wheel. the new break in the police investigation. plus, live look at some bay bridge toll plaza right now. and imagine being cut off from one lane all the time. well, the divisive proposal now in the hands of state lawmakers. we'll tell you about it when we return. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 6:30, a lot of folks have been waiting for this. contra costa county can move into the red reopening tier as early as sunday. some big changes if you want to grab a drink and only a drink. two school districts are moving forward with resuming in-person learning. how parents plan to draw the 'to their pleas to get the kids back in the classroom. and california works to get more shots into arms. "today in the bay" continues right now. good morning to you. i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. >> a little more of the purple

on the screen right here. covid restriction tier map could be ready to turn red. businesses in contra costa county are hopeful that red tier status could arrive as early as sunday. >> this comes in the wake of major changes for wineries and breweries that may make you change your weekend plans. bob redell is tracking all the developments for us. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, contra costa county can move into the red tier on sunday after the state loosens some restrictions. currently in order to move it into the red tier you need to be at seven cases per 100,000 people a day. right now, contra costa county is recording 8.3 cases per 100,000 people a day. so you can see right now they're not meeting the threshold but today that is expected to change. governor newsom has said they'll loosen it to 10 per 100,000 people once the state has administered 2 million shots in underserve communities.

well, that is expected to happen today which would put the ten case rule in effect and contra costa county can then move into the red tier 48 hours after the new rule goes into effect. that's after the 2 million shots are handed out. that could put them in sunday. sonoma county should also be eligible. once in red as you're aware, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters can resume indoor operations with limited capacity. contra costa, sonoma, they're still in purple. the rest of us are in red. i'm in alameda, that's why i say us. london breed expects her city to move into the orange within the next week and a half. now, starting tomorrow, new rule from the state. the state will allow breweries, wineries and distilleries that do not serve food, these are the businesses that do not serve food, will allow them to reopen outdoors in purple and red tier

counties. prior to this, they had to wait for the orange tier. there are some reservations, limited to 90 minutes and all alcohol must be consumed by 8:00 p.m. breweries, wineries and distillerys that do serve food they'll continue to operate under the rules issued for restaurants. bob redell, "today in the ba." >> l.a. county is in the same boat as contra costa. and the businesses are hoping for a similar tier change in the days to come as well. now, l.a. covid cases are down considerably from holiday surge, but there were nearly 1,400 new infections just yesterday and another 101 deaths. 6:33. happening today, cinemark movie theaters reopening several more bay area locations which includes sixth century chains like union city. last week you might remember, amc theaters opened in san

francisco and the south bay location. >> we know that the cdc is saying 10% of the u.s. population is fully vaccinated and 11 million californians have received one dose of the vaccine. that includes the nearly 2 million doses for underserved neighborhoods and more than 3 million people statewide are fully vaccinated. if you're looking for information on how or where to get that vaccination shot go over to planyourvaccine.com. put in your state, age and occupation. it will pull up the closest vaccination site to you. you can go over there now. >> i already did. frustrated parents will zoom in front of the oakland technical school and they're urging the leaders to strike a deal now to resume in-class learning. the new survey finds that 58% of elementary school parents are ready to send their kids back to school while 42% want to just finish out the year distance

learning from home. san francisco schools are one step closer to the planned reopening. the board unanimously approved the deal and the first students back are pre-k through fifth grade and those with special needs starting april 12th. it will all be hybrid at two or four days a week depend on the class and teachers will vote on the deal tomorrow. oak drove plans to have the kids back for early may for transitional kindergarten through third grade. san francisco police are making headway in the case of the recent video that's gone viral, showing a uber driver being harassed. the young woman in the red there, she's now turned herself in. you can see that girl right there snatching the driver's mask off. well, she's expected to turn herself in soon. police are now yet seeking the third woman. the driver is relieved but he

also thought the women for apologizing -- they took it to social media. >> i believe in second chances but defending what they did make it worse. >> now, the one now in custody is identified as malaysia king and she's booked in the las vegas area jail. police believe the woman who also use -- one of the women may have used pepper spray as they were exiting the car. a live look at the bay bridge where the plan to open an exclusive bus only lane is being debated in sacramento. the member who first floated the measure also authored the bill. it would cost $65 million. it's an interesting prospect. definitely would make bus service a little faster maybe, but it would leave the rest of us out to fight for the rest of the lanes. i think you -- anybody who drives through there, hears about the loss of one lane for

them -- >> no. >> may not be too happy. >> well, they have a year to sell them on it, right? >> that's right. >> in the meantime, weather won't slow you down on the roadways this morning. vianey? >> definitely not. the sunshine has cleared out any of the cloud cover and we're going to make way for a lovely warmer afternoon but i want to give you this beautiful shot of northstar lake tahoe. we saw skiers out there. i know laura was talking about how she enjoys skiing. i have not skied, i did snowboarding, i'm not the best. we'll be in the upper 50s for the coast line, but upper 60s for the entire valleys. yes, it will feel like spring around here. 66 degrees in san jose but rain on the way for sunday night. mike? you have been warning about the time change, 101 northbound, easy drive, it's friday. but look at the sun kind of

coming down over folks, the time -- the look will be different when you leave the house tomorrow morning. if you're earlier in the commute it will be darker and that sunrise will happen during the drive. it's of course friday again, the change is sunday. it will affect your commute monday morning and evening. and now it's slowing across the span. we'll see the toll plaza coming up. coming up, coming back from covid. >> i didn't think our 7-year-old at the end of a pandemic would be scrubbing the bathrooms. >> a look at how lives changed for so many of us in the bay area. and what we did to keep moving forward despite a global pandemic. president biden says brighter days are ahead. we'll take a look at his national address and do some fact checking. let's check the big board this morning as the dow is up about a quarter of a percent. plus, grab your tissues. after decades apart, a woman is

reunited with her long lost father. the critical clue that made this reunion possible. we'll be right back.

good morning. it is 6:41. here comes the sunshine. 43 degrees in the north bay. temperatures in the 50s by 10:00 a.m. and then in the upper 60s throughout the interior valleys. but more rain's on the way for sunday. the full forecast is coming up. mike? right now, the sun is here.

remember, that time change we talked about on sunday. i think things will be a little different for your view. westbound, we do see an edge of the screen -- tapping the brakes, some slowing on the incline. but no metering lights right now. 6:42. president biden will hold a ceremonial signing of the new bill in the rose garden. >> we saw him sign it live yesterday in the midday newscast. >> that's right. he will invite the members of congress to join them to celebrate and last night, he spoke to the nation about the sacrifices we made during the pandemic and the brighter days ahead. >> if we do all this, if we doe together, by july the 4th there's a good chance you, your families and friends will be able to get together in your

backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout and a barbecue and celebrate independence day. >> the president continues to caution it is not over yet. we need to continue to protect others by wearing a mask saying a mask, the easiest thing to do to save lives sometimes divides us. he also said this. >> when i took office 50 days ago, only 8% of americans after months -- only 8% of those over the age of 6 5 had gotten the first vaccination nation. today it's 65%. i set a goal that many of you said was way over the top. i said i intended to get 100 million shots in people's arms in my first 100 days in office. tonight, i can say we're not only going to meet that goal,we're going to beat that goal. >> now, two things to unpack

here. first his claim that when he first took office, far fewer people had been vaccinated. that has little to do with him it's just lucky timing on his part. when he took office on january 20th, the pfizer vaccine had only been approved for emergency use just five weeks earlier. the moderna just 33 days earlier. as for his claim in -- we in the media said 100 million shots was unrealistic that's exaggerated. as long ago as last month, not only did we predict that goal was realistic, we said it was too small. we'll talk about the rose garden ceremony today on twitter. you can follow me @scott mcgrew. you may be reflecting on how much life has changed for you. well, in that time, nearly 530,000 americans lost their lives and about 30 million people in the u.s. were infected. >> but even with that loss of life and loss of health, so many people found the strength to keep hoping for brighter days.

>> reporter: life got very quiet as the pandemic roared in last march. businesses closed their doors, hospital icus filled with covid patients whose families could comfort them in person and schools and playgrounds were silent. in that time we looked for a new normal. families turning dining rooms and bedrooms into classrooms. many kids stepping up to help parents also working from home. >> it's pretty incredible. i did not think our 7-year-old at the end of a pandemic would be scrubbing the bathrooms. >> reporter: restaurants were making meals to go. businesses building websites to reach customers at home. >> so we were forced to go online only. >> reporter: with so few activities allowed many turned to mother nature for exercise. >> the benefits in terms of your physical health and just mental health are great. so i'm very grateful they're open. >> reporter: and through art, many people found messages of inspiration. >> i had a couple of messages

that are direct to the community. >> reporter: reminding us that we are resilient and that in tough times we are tougher people and there's more strength in unity. >> we're all in this together. and i think the only way to rise above it is to really lean on each other. >> reporter: it was one year ago yesterday that life was really normal. scott was in alaska for the iditarod race and marcus emceed the sorority scholarship luncheon and my daughters were playing with their dog which they have done -- although they did outgrow the school uniforms without going to school. starting next week as we look back on the year of the pandemic as we come back from covid we want to share more stories of resilience to look forward at the ways we might emerge. maybe better than we were

before. we want to share your stories as well so please tell them -- tell us your stories on social media. >> yes. so much has changed in the one year. well, an emotional reunion for a southern california woman meeting her biological father for first time. >> after a years long search, she met her father, cory davis, after her mother passed in december. she started to search and she posted a picture on social media of her father from elementary school with his name and birthday. she got a hit and a phone number and when she called, her dad was on the phone. they talked for about an hour and met for the first time. both of them say it was the happiest day of their lives. >> wow. beautiful. get some tissues, i had forgot. >> well, something to brighten up your day, kris. vianey has a look at the forecast. i think it will be something to smile about. >> sunshine, marcus, sunshine is

something to smile about no matter how much we read -- we read the -- need the rain. we're in california. and we're much bigger fans of the sun than we are of the rain, but we have more on the way. so today we'll see 60s in the forecast. we'll spring forward on sunday, so don't forget to put the clocks ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. the ones that aren't digital. because your phone will likely do it on its own. but your stove top, your microwave one, if you have an og car like me, your car one. let's talk about the spring trends. so as we spring forward on sunday here's a quick little side note. we have been seeing warmer than average springs. this is from 2020 in california. spring has trended warmer 90% of the year. two below average years were 2010 and 2011. so a while ago. what does that mean for us? it typically means an earlier fire season start because we get so much dry brush with the warmer temperatures and a lack

of rain. that's why rain is good. no matter how much we love the sunshine. doppler radar and satellite, things have calmed down. your microclimate high for this afternoon, a lot warmer than yesterday, upper 60s. concord, 69, oakland, let's look at what we have going on. so the frontal boundary brought us the wintry mix and now we get the big "h" that will keep us dry and sunny all the way through tomorrow. but look what's out ahead in the pacific. sunday, depending on where you are the impact will affect you. we'll start off cloudy for first half of our day and then the rain moves in later that night. and then that's going to continue into monday morning so likely if you have an early morning commute on monday you're probably going to see some wet pavement as you hit the road early on. the big temperature drop hits on monday. another cold storm. even though it will feel like
