right now at 4:30, johnson & johnson vaccinations resume in the bay area, but will you take it. >> if it's out there, i'd trust the experts on it, you know? so i trust the doctors who actually put it out there and do the research. >> i would have some concerns and i would try to see what my other options are. >> coming up, which bay area counties are getting the j&j shot and which are still waiting and what they're waiting for. "today in the bay" starts right now. and good monday morning to you. thanks so much for starting your morning with us. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. the weekend rain turned out to be a little bit of a disappointment for many.

i actually happened to be out and about when at least it was coming down a little bit more than average, kari. >> yes, so it was very hit or miss, and instead of overperforming, just like all of the other storms we've had this season. it was kind of a disappointment for many, and we are now seeing the snow winding down for the sierra and the rain pushing to the south of the bay area, but there's still a slight chance that parts of the north bay could see a little bit of rain later on this afternoon. as we get a live look outside at the bay bridge, as you're waking up and heading out, 62 degrees for a high and we're going to see those temperaturs staying on the cool side today. we'll in a few minutes. mike, how is the commute moving? >> it's moving great. the roadway is not as big a concern as we thought they might be looking at the storm system. highway 4 an easy drive past 680

a disabled vehicle, actually a smaller crash. there may be something on the bay bridge. we'll wait until the chp verifies their information. green sensors all around. back to you. the majority of the bay area will soon begin administering the johnson & johnson vaccine once again. we'll show you highlighted in yellow, solano, contra costa, alameda, the city of berkecally, san francisco, san mateo and the city of napa. contra costa county will start administering the single dose j&j shot today and still offer pfizer and meer do in a in case people are still hesitant. people we spoke to getting a pfizer shot in rich pond had mixed reactions. >> if it's out there, i'd trust it. trust the doctors who put it out there and do the research. >> i'd have concerns and try to see what my other options are. >> san francisco and san mateo counties say they're waiting until new labels and warnings can be printed before offering

the shot and again, sonoma county was the only bay area county not part of that joint statement issued yesterday. we've reached out to health leaders for more information this morning. more than 1 million more vaccine doses are headed to california this week, this includes more than 575,000 doses of pfizer, 428,000 doses of moderna. but because the nationwide pause on the j&j vaccine, so far the cdc hasn't allocated any of those doses for the state this week. california's last j&j shipment came on april 12th. there's new data showing how many millions of americans are skipping out on their second vaccination shot. according to the "new york times," the cdc data shows about 8% of those who get the first pfizer/moderna shot did not receive their follow-up shot. that amounts to 5 million people. others fear the side effects and others feel one shot gives them

enough protection. health leaders continue to recommend getting both doses especially with the new strains popping up. a live look at sfo this morning, and with vaccination rates climbing in the bay area, and the united states, many are starting to make plans for summer vacation. people can put many more european countries on the travel list as well. they've been off limits to nonessential travel for more than a year. "today in the bay's" sergio quintana has new details on what you need to know if you're planning to head to several european countries. >> reporter: the announcement comes from the president of the european union commission and while there's no time line yet on when exactly this is going to happen, it will essentially end the more than year-long travel restrictions between the united states and most of europe. >> we interview with the new york timings, european union commission president ursula van der layen says the three approved in the

u.s. are approved in the eu. documenters should be allowed. >> i'm fluent in french so i've been dying to wait for them to open up their borders so i can start traveling again. >> reporter: any concerns about traveling to europe? >> nope. not at all. as long as i have my vaccine, i feel perfectly fine. >> reporter: there are still a few questions yet to be answered before u.s. travelers should book their flights. there's no time line when the eu's travel ban from the u.s. may be lifted or modified, and it's not yet clear how the eu would validate proof of vaccination. for some travelers, there are a few concerns. >> in terms of civil liberties, i think it's kind of unfair, people who don't want to get vaccinated can't get vaccinated maybe to not be able to travel. >> reporter: to be clear, some countries have long required proof of vaccinations for travel for other diseases besides covid-19 and for those who have not got their shots yet, one traveler i talked with says a

future trip to europe may be a reason to do it. >> i don't know if i'm pro vaccine yet. >> reporter: while the european union is considering letting the united states tourists in, the u.s. government still has travel restrictions from the eu based in part because mass vaccination program there is to so far not as successful as ours here. u.s. and european officials in talks to make out permissions for future leisure travel. sergio quintana, "today in the bay." nearly 1.5 million customers in the east bay could see soon real life impacts from the ongoing drought. tomorrow the board of directors for the east bay mud will decide whether customers will have to conserve water for the rest of the year. staff found that the current water supply is just not enough to meet demand. the directors are set to hear the water supply report before making their decision which will affect 1.4 million customers in alameda and contra costa

counties. speaking of the drought, talking about the rain we had this weekend, hit and miss like you were saying. another thing i was thinking about coming in this morning, i saw a full moon. i know we're not talking about the moon but i thought it was beautiful. just wanted to mention it. >> the sky is clearing. yes, let's talk about some of those rainfall totals that we had from mt. tam, where we have the highest amount of rain, about a half inch of rain there in the berkeley hills, 0.4 of an inch. some of us got a downpour like san ramon, a quarter inch. not much in san francisco, a tenth of an inch, in san jose a few sprinkles and it was such a disappointment but it was so typical of all we've had this year, so now as we go into some drier weather, where temperatures stay on the cool side today, mostly some low 60s today, so keep that jacket handy. we'll talk about where we could still see some rain in the forecast, that's coming up in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking right

now for the commute? probably dry for most. >> kari, yes, it's a pleasant commute. we were worried about perhaps that so folks were waking up ready for in a. you got the update. the update of the bay bridge as we travel westbound, the tail lights section headed toward treasure island around or perhaps in the tunnel there, there may be a disabled vehicle in the middle lane. chp updated there, no problem for the flow here and on the map the speed sensors don't show a problem either. we'll track that and easy drive around the bay as you would expect this time of morning. as we get a look over here toward the rest of the speed sensors, there we go, the bay shows no lay its for the south bay or peninsula and it's the altamont pass where we typically see slowing and there we go, bottom of your screen under 20 minutes, easy drive once you get to grant line road, things speed back up to the limit, same thing for highway 4, antioch bridge toward concord and highway 4. back to you. >> thanks so much. it is early this morning, 4:38. getting back to school, coming up on "today in the bay," a

we said, a very, very busy week. you got a federal reserve meeting on wednesday, as well as a slew of quarterly earnings reports including apple, microsoft, alphabet, amazon and a couple hundred more. netflix taking seven oscars home last night, nearly doubling its all-time tally, the most of any distributor in this year's line-up.

any better. with your cnbc morning business report, i'm brian sullivan. 4:43, coming up next on "today in the bay," finding an affordable home is getting pretty tough, as many struggle to make it in the bay. what experts say is driving home prices up even higher.

good monday morning.

taking a peek outside as we wait for the sun's arrival, overlooking the east bay. good morning, walnut creek. i hope everybody's coming off a great weekend. it's nice to get a little extra rest and now revved up for the new work week. we'll check in with mike for that light morning commute. it's early, 4:47. we're up early. kari, how is the forecast looking in. >> looks pretty good today even though we didn't get as much rain as we hoped for. as we take a live look in walnut creek we're left with a few clouds here and as you get ready to head out the door it's in the mid-40s, a cool start to the day and a slow warmup, but at least we will get some sunshine as our temperatures head into the upper 50s by 11:00. eventually we'll make it into the low 60s today, and we are going to have a cool start to the week. seven-day forecast already up at the bottom of the screen. let's talk about where we could see a slight chance of rain, in the north bay today.

here we are at 5:30, and we're starting to see some of those showers popping up over some of our north bay mountains that may move into some areas where we do have a lot more of the cities and the populated areas, and then it just kind of winds down for tonight. so we are looking at mostly a north bay chance of rain and then that's it, the rest of us stay dry. we're taking a look at where we average on average see most of our rainfall, and this shows a chart of where we see the most of the rainfall, of course in january is our wettest month. february we start to see it going down. here we are in april, where we are still kind of in transition between the wet season and the dry season. we do normally get quite a bit of rain, but it continues to go down, and our chances of getting any rainfall after this point are really low. now that we look at our rainfall deficits, of course we are holding out a little bit of hope that this recent rainfall could bring us a little bit in the rainfall bucket, but as we look

at our rainfall deficits, we are now at 21 inches of rainfall deficit, that's just to catch up to normal in santa rosa. so we are in for some extremely dry weather, and we're going to see more of the dry weather heading into the next several days. as our temperatures heat up we're going from winter to summer all in the course of a few days. by thursday in the mid 80s and look at the temperatures for the weekend at least it does cool down slightly. we'll continue to watch that as well as the north bay rain chances. mike, what are you keeping an eye on for the commute? >> winter to summer to spring commute and the temperatures we're watching the bay bridge because of the issue reported mid span. no disturbance to the flow, no brake lights west toward the tunnel. we're still concerned about the report that chp has of a disabled vehicle inside the treasure island tunnel, but no one confirmed that chp confirmed

the report. no slowing on the sensors. we have an oakland 580 wth at t the disabled vehicles, that's about it. contra costa great at speed, highway 4, 580 also the same. the south bay no delays on the map, travel times typical to show you what it's like if you're at speed through mountain view and san jose. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. 4:50 right now. now to a follow-up on a tragic story from overseas. indonesia's military confirms all 53 people on board a once missing submarine are dead. search teams located the vessel's wreckage over the weekend, it had not been seen since wednesday. an underwater robot found it there n three pieces 2,700 feet below the ocean floor. what caused it to sink is not known. the navy previously said an electrical failure could have left the vessel unable to execute emergency procedures. >> doesn't matter who you

you violate airline mask policy you don't fly. that's a lesson an alaska state senator is learning after alaskan airlines banned her. she repeatedly violated the mask rules so she's temporarily not allowed to fly with alaska. the senator says she was not aware of the ban. last november she compared the company's mask policy to tyranny on social media. new details now we're getting a clearer picture on how many students are choosing to return to classrooms in one of the east bay's biggest school districts. west contra costa unified says more than 6,300 students returned to schools last week, pk through second graders were allowed back. the district serves richmond and surrounding cities has more than 32,000 students. well it's getting harder to find affordable homes as many continue to try to just make it in the bay. california's housing market continues to break records with bidding wars, skyrocketing prices, and really quick

closings mostly in the suburbs. new figures show the median price almost $760,000. that's a nearly 6% spike from the previous record of $718,000 in december. the new price is a nearly 5% increase from a year ago. experts say the prices are driven by california's longstanding housing crisis and the pandemic, which has more people leaving apartments and looking for homes. it has been a year since tony bennett led what is most likely the most socially distanced singalong in san francisco history. he's reminiscing about the moment today on social media. >> many of you may remember that, from his home in new york, the singer led the rendition of "i left my heart in san francisco" while front line workers across the city joined in. ♪ when i'm going home to my city by the bay ♪

>> this was the scene outsideent first performed the famous song, one of many singalong sites april 25th 2020. he tweeted yesterday about the anniversary saying "i love you sf." >> so great. well, it may have looked a little bit different but last night's academy awards was one for the record books, the history-making wins and shocking upset that has a lot of people buzzing on social media. happening now, most libraries in contra costa county are set to open their doors to the public for the first time since the pandemic started. visits are limited to one hour or less, many rooms and in-person events are shut down. donations are not being accepted. masks and social distancing guidelines and plexiglass barriers to increase air intake for hvac systems. we'll be right back.

49er faithful are wondering which the quarterback will select with the third overall pick in this week's draft. the niners traded up for the pick, one draft expert at the nfl network ian rapoport believes they narrowed it down to mack jones of alabama and trey lance of north dakota state. it may be a third quarterback, justin fields. >> my models really like justin fields a lot and fit will be a huge determination of whether we see him turn into awesome or whether we see him turn into a place where he's not as awesome as he could be. i actually, like i said, justin fields for me.

he's at least number two and some metrics my quarterback number one. >> we'll be following it. a total of five quarterbacks expected to go in the first round. the draft starts thursday night in cleveland. the 49ers are also launching the start of their 75th anniversary. overnight the team posted a video to kick off that campaign, it included a brand new logo. for some teams, for some games, i should say, the team this season will wear some special throwback jerseys. probably have some of those in my closet. hollywood's biggest night was one for the history books. >> director chloe zhou oscar for best director becoming the second woman in history to do so and the first woman of color. the film also picking up honors in best actress and picture. june zhang june picked up best

actress. her speech a moving part of night's ceremony. >> tonight i'm here, i have a little bit luck, i think, maybe. i'm not kidding you. and also maybe it's an american hospitality for the korean actor? >> one of the biggest surprises of the night was best actor category going to anthony hopkins for his role in "the father." many expected late chadwick bozeman in "ma rainey's black bottom." the bay area in a testify h.e.r. best original song, more of that in the next half hour. coming up on "today in the bay" president joe biden is getting high marks from america. we'll talk about that coming up. >> chris mullin, hall of famer, member of the original dream team, five-time all-star, 14 years as a pleaer with the warriors. >> dorell wright, first round draft pick straight out of high

school, nba champ, 11-year nba vet, two years old with the warriors. i'm bonta hill. i'm not gonna lie, i suck at hoops. but i'm the host and i could talk dubs all night long. "warriors pre and postgame live" on nbc sports bay area.
