right now at 5:00, getting back to school this morning. thousands of additional students getting a green light to return to the classroom in two bay area school districts but how many families are following through on that? a live report is next. happening today the shark tank in jose is swimming with fans as the team takes it to the ice. we're live with what fans need to know before the game. "today in the bay" continues right now. a very good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. did you feel it this morning? some shaking?

a 2.6 earthquake hitting the east bay, this happened about 4:44. some people could feel this over in oakland, piedmont and berkeley. if you felt it, let us know. we'll tweet about that as well. but again, that was a small earthquake this morning in the east bay. a 2.6. we'll have more later in the show. we begin with president biden, waking up to a new report card this morning. >> americans are evaluating his performance as he approaches his first 100 days in office this week. "today in the bay's" tracie potts live in washington and tracie, the new survey covers everything from guns to immigration. >> it does, in some areas the president's we also take a look at how his first 100 days compares to the two men who held that office before him. as president biden prepares to address congress this week, a new nbc news poll gives him a

53% approval rating for his first 100 days, ahead of donald trump, but behind barack obama at the same point. his highest rating, 69% for handling the pandemic. >> i certainly think he's taken the leadership role i was hoping that he would. >> reporter: more than half the country gives biden a thumbs up on the economy, but he fares much lower on gun policies and immigration, with only a third approving of how he's handled the criesiness at the border. >> it's not going to be solved overnight. it's a complex issue. listen, if this were easy it would have been handled years ago. >> reporter: arizona's governor declared a state of emergency deploying 250 national guard troops. he wants more resources from the federal government. >> if the administration isn't going to do anything, then arizona will. >> reporter: in his first joint address to congress wednesday, biden is expected to push for immigration reform, police reform, and stricter gun laws.

people also have concerns about the state of our nation. according to this survey, this poll that we did, 82%, so the vast majority still think that our country is divided. marcus and laura? >> all right, tracie potts in washington this morning, tracie, thank you. a developing story this morning, berkeley school leaders are reportedly weighing the future of their school resource officers. berkeley side reports berkeley unified has a deal with police to staff a single officer. he works at three schools including berkeley high. he also tutors student athletes. in the wake of last year's defund police movement some argue his role should end. most students support his role. the school board is taking feedback and may ultimately reimagine his role. the bay area's filipino-american community celebrated the state's first filipino attorney general. they held a virtual celebration.

bonta thad family and friends who supported him throughout his career. his mother took time journey. >> this is an opportunity to so was there at the beginning and you guys were there at the beginning, you know, pushing me and making me believe i could do things that i didn't think i could do myself. >> this is a celebration for rob, but i think we should also celebrate the power that the community so obviously is showing. >> don't you love seeing people's parents? i love that. what support she's giving him. bonta made california political history before. he was the first filipino-american to serve in the california state assembly. let's switch gears a little bit and take a live look outside at the shark tank this morning. downtown san jose, now let's go straight to the ice.

tonight's a big night for hockey fans as a few hundred will be allowed into the s.a.p. center for the first time in a year. sanchez is live with restrictions, that will be in place. kris? >> reporter: so the sharks themselves got a teenie, tiny taste of normal over the weekend because their families go the to watch them for the first time since march 8th of last year. but tonight, fans are going to be able to come into the stands and i know we said it would be swimming with fans but the real sit there's just going to be about 500 of them here at the s.a.p. center. the s.a.p. center could technically allow more, but they want to test this out, see how it goes with the social distancing requirements, also fans do have to show proof that they are fully vaccinated or a negative covid test, and you will have to keep your distance and wear a mask the whole time. in san francisco, over the weekend, the chase center was alive with excitement as almost

2,000 fans got to watch the warriors in person friday night. fans sat in pods, socially distanced, they could not eat in the stands, and sometimes had to actually take rapid covid tests on the spot because their vaccine cards weren't clear. >> we had the shot but the only problem is like with mines there's a sharpie in so it looks different. >> they forgot to put the date on mine. i took it a month ago and there's no way to clarify that. >> reporter: the warriors win was the icing on the cake. the puck drops at the shark tank at 7:30 tonight but there are a lot of proof of vaccine requirements that are starting to pop up, and now we know that the johnson & johnson vaccine has been cleared for distribution once again. we'll talk with people about how they are feeling about getting that vaccine potentially and of course we're all looking forward to getting back to normal. that's coming up in the next half hour. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> all right, thank you very much, kris. so at the top of this

newscast we were telling you of a 2.6 earthquake north of piedmont this morning, happened at about 4:44 this morning. i put it out there on twitter and look at all of the folks that were feeling the little rocking and rolling this morning. i'm getting a lot of people saying yeah, it was a little strange to wake up right before it and feel that earthquake. so not too big of a one. i'm getting a report from alameda but just north of piedmont where it was centered a 2.6 earthquake. what a way to wake up on a monday morning. right? i was saying my coffee is not strong enough. now an earthquake will get us going in the morning. >> yes, already hard to sleep o. so that was a 2.6 we're watching that earthquake on the hayward fault, and of course, in some of those areas, where we have a lot more people, densely populated areas, more likely that more people will feel it.

so we'll continue to monitor that. we watch everything on the hayward fault because it is overdue for a large earthquake. the rain has since moved on and we see light snow over parts of the sierra. rain farther off to the south and east and we're starting to clear out in the bay area as you get ready to head out. we're going to see a few clouds here and there. dublin starting out with dry roads, didn't get much rain here and as we go into today temperatures in the low 40s, a cool start and reaching into the mid-50s by lunch time today. we'll talk about a warmup in our forecast and what else is going on. mike, what are you seeing right now? >> we're seeing a smooth drive, kari, and also in part because the roads are drier than feared. you warned us just so we would be prepared. let's get out to the bay bridge toll plaza, you see an easy drive, pavement not a problem.

the disabled vehicle cleared from the chp report, across the treasure island in direction of the arrow. highway 4 looks great, same thing for kirker pass road or expected slowing starts for highway 84. we'll check out that portion of the bay a little closer, coming up. >> sounds good, mike. 5:09 right now. more and more older students finally getting the chance to head back to the classroom. today that includes some young people in san francisco along the secondary students across santa rosa. >> and that's where "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live for us this morning, and this has got to be a big relief for a lot of those kids. >> reporter: yes, good morning, marcus and laura. big relief for kids and parents. it's hard to believe we're at the end of the month of april, a couple of days away from may and kids have the first day of school jitters. that's what's happening at santa rosa high school behind me

walking into the doors for the first time. they're not aenlo. here in santa rosa the district website explains five middle schools and sirks high schools open for hybrid learning, students do in-person person learning two days and online the other three. half of the 10,500 students in grades 7 through 12 will take place in hybrid learning and in san francisco, students in grades 3 through 5 some middle schoolers and high school students in moderate or severe special learning are also returning in school in san francisco unified. each school will follow specific safety directions laid out by the district. one of the major rules each cohort will have the same students and the same staff each day they'll stay together for activities and help them avoid contact with people outside of the cohort. this practice as you could imagine would lower the risk of e composureeur limiting the

number of folks the students interact with. this return to the classroom a long time coming -- [ no audio ] >> looks like we lost her microphone there. long time coming, though, i think is what she was about to say for all the kids who have been distance learning for over a year now. so hopefully a little bit of normalcy returning into the classroom. 5:11 right now. if your upcoming summer vacation plans include a rental car, they're already getting hard to come by. the advice experts say you need to follow before making your getaway. plus -- >> make some noise, pots and pans and bang them. >> let's call this aurise visit un"bear"-able sight to a family and a ransacked home.

this california family is on the job helping our state's recovery. you see by keeping their vacation in california they're supporting our local businesses and communities. so you could say every juice box enjoyed on our beaches is also bringing nourishment to our state's economy. that's the taste of recovery. calling all californians. keep your vacation here and help our state get back to work. and please travel responsibly.

right now at 5:13, as you get ready to head out, let's get a look at our high temperatures around the bay, as we get a look at san francisco, here we'll reach 62 degrees with some clouds lingering today. heading over to brentwood, we'll be up to 64 degrees and 62 today in santa rosa. we'll also be watching out for a chance of north bay showers, more on that and the weekday warmup that's coming up in a few minutes. we have a crash in fremont,

reported, kari, the southbound side of the nimitz. we do have a camera in fremont on the nimitz, it's a little farther south than we can see that crash, the headlights heading south past tesla. we'll double check on the speed sensors and conditions coming up. let's check in with our friend dom. >> i am dominic chu here at cnbc global headquarters. stocks are poised for a mixed open this morning ahead of what's supposed to be an intense week of corporate catalysts and market catalysts. the dow indicated to open slightly high and the nasdaq is looking to open to the downside. investors are due for a busy week with a federal reserve meeting on interest rates on the slate as well as a slew of quarterly earnings reports from apple, microsoft, amazon and google parent company alphabet to name a few. at auto industry is feeling the impact of the global computer chip shortage. volkswagen is expecting a big

hit. the head of the carmaker's spanish unit telling the ft top managers have been warned to brace for a bigger hit in the second quarter than the first because of that big semiconductor shortage. and it was a big weekend for elon musk, the tesla and spacex ceo and pounder will host "saturday night live" for the first time may 8th, the announcement coming on the same day the "drag conendeavor" successfully docked at the space station, joining the resilience at the iss and brings the total number of astronauts on board the orbiting research lab to 11. i don't know about you guys but i remember as a kid in the bay area, having that tv wheeled into my classroom to watch the space shuttle launches it was so exciting for me, it's going to be exciting for this generation as well. >> although they don't know we're talking about with the carts being wheeled in.

>> so true. >> get up and change the channel. >> too old. i'm too old. >> right. and wise, and wise, though. >> this is true. >> yes, thank you very much, laura. >> thanks, dom. okay, so if you're looking to take a road trip this summer, be warned because rental cars are getting hard to come by and there are two major reasons why. first as more people become vaccinated they're deciding to venture out and hit the road. the second credit to the ongoing computer chip shortage. the chips are essentially the brains for the car but they're now in short supply. this is halting new car productions and experts say flying may be a cheaper option. >> consumers must change their mentality around rental cars. for so long they've been an afterthought. they can be more than the cost of your flight per day rental. if renting a car is a core part of your trip, search for that first and then look for flights and hotels, because in some markets you may not even be able to get a car.

>> so true, listen to this, and why the cars are going for as much as $1,000 a day. who is paying for that? enterprise says because it's sold a lot of the cars the start of the pandemic, it's having a hard time finding new cars. that's adding to the shortage. by the way, the chip shortage is also driving up the prices of those used cars. 5:18. bear with us for the next story it's a scary one for a southern california family after an intruder made them lock themselves in a bedroom and dial 911. >> this intruder was more of the furry and four-legged variety. not your average bear there, could have been, creating a pretty terrifying situation. a family in l.a.'s duarte late on friday on the edge of the angel os forest. bears are often seen in the area. they shot video of a young bear on their patio. it's not clear if this was the same bear.

they say it entered through an open door with one thing on its mind. >> he went through my whole pantry, he pulled out the flour, that's all over the kitchen, he ate all the cat food from the two cat dishes. he ate prunes, what else was in there? oh, some a big thing of trail mix. >> yep, they're hungry. the bear eventually moseyed off as deputies tracked it from above, left the premises without anyone getting hurt. i go up to tahoe quite often and i was up about two, three weeks ago and the bears are already out. i went to walk the dog in the morning and there was a big one right there. the thing is that they're up earlier this year after coming out of hibernation and of course they're hungry, looking for food. >> that could be scary. >> hopefully not the dog. >> no, that's a scary part. >> yes. we went in pretty quick.

>> gotta go. >> there you go. all right so the rain we got here, did that bring any snow to the sierra, kari? >> it did and so we're waiting still to hear some of those snowfall totals. let's talk about our rainfall totals that we've gotten measurements from the north bay, and the highest one was a half inch, which is exactly what the computer models showed. i guess we were just kind of hoping that we would get it more widespread, and that maybe this storm would outperform some of the other ones we've had, but it was so typical, as it dried up for a lot of us, especially in san jose. we had a few sprinkles and it was decent in san francisco, about 0.1 of an inch. berkeley hills 0.4 of an inch of rain, not all of us getting a good soaking and everything is dry as we getted kids up and ready for school today in the south bay and spots like sunnyvale. a cool start, a few clouds and drop-off temperatures in the

mid-40s. by the time you pick them up early in the afternoon we'll see a few clouds and only in the mid-50s so they'll still have the jackets on. later today, we'll reach into the low to mid-60s around the bay area, even though it's going to be more of a winter-like start to the week. we are still watching out for a chance of some north bay showers, some of those showers moving through some of the hills farther to the north, and then the rest of the week high pressure moves in, and our temperatures will be heating up fairly quickly. take a look at how warm it's going to be at that seven-day forecast, bottom of the screen, and then there will be some breezy and cooler temperatures by the weekend. so we can see the temperatures going up and down, low 60s for our inland areas today, and then some low 80s by thursday. mike, we've got it all in this forecast. what do you have in the traffic report? >> i don't have a lot of variety. i think that's good but let's see what we have for folks. oh, we have fremont, we have a crash and that'seway down alrea

within just the last ten minutes. south 880 at stephenson. two left lanes reported blocked. chp is arriving on scene. the sensors tell the tale there. the rest of the bay a smooth drive. in the tri-valley highway 84 shows slowing, typical through the area and 580 through the altamont pass as well. but as we look at the travel times, 580 overall just fine through alameda county and coming down out of contra costa county, vasco road still at the limit from byron, brentwood and discovery bay. back to you. >> thank you, mike. next on "today in the bay," a bay area local bringing home gold at the oscars. ♪♪ >> artist h.e.r. winning the oscar for best original so, what her family is revealing about that big win. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 5:30, johnson & johnson vaccinations resume in the bay area. is the expert advice putting

your mind at ease? >> 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" continues 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. maybe you felt a little schick shaking early this morning. a 2.6 earthquake hit the east bay at 4:44, centered very close to piedmont in morning and we're getting reports of people on twitter telling us they felt it in oakland, piedmont, berkeley, alameda, montclair village as well. quite the way to wake up, although it didn't cause any delays when it comes to b.a.r.t., they always usually check the lines when there's a significant quake but this was a

2.6. kari is tracking is as well talking about the fault lines. let's bring her in now. >> yes, so we could see that happening earlier this morning. more people feeling it because it was in a more highly populated area. on the hayward fault we can see two dots there indicating where the epicenter was for that earthquake, that 2.6 that we felt almost an hour ago but we watch every earthquake especially on the hayward fault, because we do know that it is overdue for a large quake and sometimes those small quakes can be a foreshock to a larger quake so it's definitely something that we'll keep an eye on. the last major earthquake we had there was in 1868, that was a 6.8, so we are continuing to watch that, we're also talking about our drought conditions and where we may have some water restrictions, coming up in a few minutes. laura? >> thanks so much, kari. 5:32 right now. johnson & johnson's covid vaccine once again available. the bay area counties are

planning to offer it but will people be willing to get it after recent complications? "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live in san jose. what are you hearing from people who still need to get a shot? >> reporter: hi there, laura. we've been talking with people the last couple of weeks with the johnson & johnson vaccine on pause, what they got and how they were feeling about it. folks are feeling anxious having gotten the johnson & johnson vaccine. we know the side effects although very, very serious, were in very limited cases, about 15 cases among 8 million people who got those doses. so all bay area counties except for solano county will begin offering the johnson & johnson vaccine once again, we just haven't heard from solano. they may be offering it again as well. santa cruz county also offering it. according to a new "washington post"/abc poll, fewer than one in four americans say they'd be willing to get it after it was paused because of the concern

over clotting disorder. two women did die from that. the disorder is very rare. 15 cases among 8 million people in the u.s. who got that j&j vaccine. we did find people have 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. >> reporter: so remember, as you make your vaccine appointment with your county or your pharmacy, they will tell you what kind of vaccines they are offering, so you don't have to get a johnson & johnson vaccine if you show up and they have it. contra costa county officials say they are going to offer the pfizer and moderna vaccine to people who feel concerned about that j&j vaccine. they'll start offering the j&j vaccine today in contra costa county. something to remember, you are not fully vaccinated until two weeks after you get your dose, so the appeal of the j&j vaccine

is in part that it is just one dose so you get a shot today and within two weeks you are fully vaccinated versus the pfizer or moderna, you wait three to four weeks to get your second dose and two weeks after that to be fully vaccinated and now we know that a lot of places are requiring proof of vaccination including the shark tank which is welcoming fans back tonight, that's our story coming up in a half hour. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> all right, kris. >> we'll check back with you. thanks so much, kris. more than a million vaccines headed to california this week, that includes some 575,000 doses of pfizer, 425,000 doses of moderna but due to the j&j pause just being lifted the cdc so far has not allocated any of its doses this week. california's last j&j estimate arrived two weeks ago. new data showing how many millions of americans are skipping out on their second

vaccination shot, according to the "new york times," new cdc data shows about 8% of those who get their first pfizer or moderna not do not receive their follow-up. that amounts to more than 5 million americans. some fear the side effects of the second dose is an issue. others feel one shot gives them enough protection. health leaders continue to recommend getting both doses especially with the new strains popping up. new they dills now a clearer picture of how many students are choosing to return to classrooms in one of the east bay's largest 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. a live look at sfo this morning. as vaccinations climb more americans are making plans for summer travel. european nations may soon be an

option again. the eu president telling the "new york times" travelers who can document being fully vaccinated should be allowed free movement along the 27 nations. it's welcome news but raises questions for others. >> 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. >> 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. >> there's no time line for the eu lifting the travel ban from the u.s. and not clear how the eu would actually validate proof of vaccination. when it comes to making it in the bay, first-time home buyers are not finding it any easier during the pandemic. california's housing market continues to break records with bidding wars, skyrocketing prices and a lot of quick closings mostly in the suburbs. new figures show the median price almost $760,000, a nearly

6% spike from a previous record of $718,000 in december. the new price is nearly 25% increase as well from just a year ago. experts say that the prices are being driven by california's longstanding housing crisis and the pandemic, which has more people leaving apartments and they are looking for homes. it's been a year since tony bennett led what is most likely the most socially distanced sing-along we've seen 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 ♪ >> that scene from outside the fairmont hotel where bennett

first performed the famous song, one of many sing-along sites april 25th 2020. bennett tweeted about this yesterday, the anniversary, saying "i love you, sf." >> such a classic. i went to a wedding once in san francisco, and halfway through the wedding, who shows up is tony bennett singing "i left my heart in san francisco." >> what? >> it was wonderful but it took away so much attention from the bride and groom. >> yeah. >> it was cool, though. >> it's like hey, did you go to the tony bennett concert? no, it was their wedding. >> yes. pretty cool, is cool. all right, it is time to take a look at that forecast for us. cooler temperatures this morning for us, kari? >> absolutely. it's going to be a cooler day. we're starting out with a few clouds left behind after that weather system is now moving off to our east and the snow is

winding down in the sierra. we're also seeing rain toward the south and east. we are seeing our sky clearing as we get a look around the bay and our live view in san francisco, will reach into the low 60s here, mostly low 60s for all of our microclimates. we'll talk about what's ahead in our forecast coming up in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking for the commute? >> kari, we have one problem aside from the regular commute of course, looking at the east bay, so the map shows you peninsula side, south bay santa clara county nothing unexpected but a little slowing for san jose down at the bottom. here getting to san jose, milpitas south 880 jams up in fremont because of a crash still blocking your two left lanes, that's stevenson, the volume of traffic heavier out of hayward and san leandro toward the area that is adding to the backup. cherry, boyce, you can get by an surface streets and some of the other surface streets. the rest of the tri-valley looks standard, the contra costa county drive a little slower now and starts to build through

concord and so now, we're showing you the comparison pittsburg, concord and walnut creek. you can choose your rout determ week. nfl draft coming and the niners in the market for a franchise quarterback. we're going to tell you who experts believe they're looking at, after trading up for the third overall pick. and -- >> reporter: a drought emergency declared in parts of california. the water restrictions that could be coming for more than 1 million water customers in the east bay. you're watching "today in the bay." this couple is working hard on our state's recovery. you see, they live in california and keeping their vacation in california

supports our small businesses and communities. which means that beautiful baby gherkin atop this charcuterie masterpiece is like another brick in the rebuilding of our economy. job well done friends. calling all californians. keep your vacation here and help our state get back to work. and please travel responsibly.

right now at 5:43, as you're heading out the door in dublin, we're starting out mostly clear here. those temperatures are going to be chilly, staying cool for today as you get ready to head out the door. make sure you have that jacket. we only make it into the low 60s by this afternoon. we'll take a look at all of our microclimates and talk about when we go from winter to summer within a few days, coming up in a few minutes. and not clear, at least for part of fremont, take you first to the not clear part heading south out of the area past the dumbarton bridge, jamming up around thornton, the brake lights start all the way to

stevenson. left lanes the two are blocked. south of there the traffic moves smoothly past auto mall and the tesla plant. >> thank you very much. 5:44. a follow-up on a tragic story 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 lying in leepieces about 2,700 feet below the ocean floor. the cause is still not known. the navy previously said an electrical failure could have left the vessel unable to execute emergency procedures. new this morning, it doesn't matter who you are if you violate airline mask policy you don't fly. that's a lesson an alaska state senator is learning after alaskan airlines banned her. the airline says the republican laura reinbolt repeatedly

and the north marin water district decided to put in place mandatory use restrictions on its customers, because there's been so little rain. restrictions will include not being able to wash your car at home, not washing down or pressure wash your driveways and walks. the marin municipal water district could limit your water to one day a week. last week governor newsom declared drought emergencies in sonoma and mendocino counties as california is expected to face another devastating wildfire season. >> we need to think, act with a sense of urgency, think differently, and approach the challenges with a laser-like recognition that you can't focus this state as one-size-fits-all solution. >> reporter: also the south bay could enact water conservation

restrictions. the south bay already asking customers to conserve voluntarily. reporting live in san ramon, bob redell, "today in the bay." all right, it is 5:49 for you this morning. as we get you out the door, meteorologist karihallweather kari hall has a look at temperatures and the rain much needed but didn't really pack as much of a punch as we had hoped. >> yes, we were hoping that this would overperform what the computer models were showing. it of kind of right on target. we only made a half inch of rain in spots like mt. tam, some of our upper elevations in the north bay. berkeley hills had 0.4 of an inch of rain and in san ramon, quarter inch of rain there, san francisco tenth of an inch and a few sprinkles in san jose as well as parts of the tri-valley. a lot of our valleys didn't get much rain. as we take a look back at the drought monitor, just a couple weeks ago, the drought and where we see the bright red showing the extreme drought was just in parts of the north bay, but then

we got the update on thursday, showing that the drought is now expanding and much more of the north bay in the extreme category and also including parts of contra costa county, and the reason why we're seeing more of those drought restrictions, definitely being top of mind and part of the conversation as we are also seeing the severe drought expand for the rest of the bay area. and now we're in those months where we don't get a lot of rain here, and heading into april as well as may our chances of actually getting more rain continues to dwindle, as we approach some of our drier months during the summer, and we are already seeing those reservoir levels very low because we didn't get much rain during our water year and the rainfall deficits are running over eight inches for san jose, nine inches for livermore and you can see how it goes up in spots like santa rosa, parts of our north bay, where we normally get a lot more rain, we're still lacking 21 inches of rain to catch up to normal and our chance of that happening is very

slim at this point. so now as we go through the forecast we'll be watching the north bay for a chance of some showers, mostly over the mountains, the rest of us staying dry for today. you may notice the cloud cover increasing and then by tonight we see the rain chances going down, temperatures go up through the forecast, and we'll reach into the mid 80s by this thursday. we're watching all of this in the forecast. mike, what do you have going on for the commute? >> a warning for folks driving through fremont, kari. south 880 isment jaed up now, the build is starting to really kick in now. it's slow from basically the dumbarton bridge or dakoto highway 84 toward stevenson, left two lanes are still blocked. chp has a couple cruiser answer tow trucks. sounds like enough to remove the three vehicles but still taking some time. there is the backup. use cherry or perhaps blake to get past it on surface streets if you're familiar. circling the south bay you're familiar with the backup that starts, actually just a little bit of slowing for that portion

nothing dramatic for that top number. you've got options as far as santa clara county goes. over here contra costa county and alameda county what you'd expect for the builds and the bay bridge toll plaza holds with an easy drive, slowing up the span on the incline. back to you. >> pretty sunrise out there, too. thanks, mike. 5:53. hollywood's biggest night one for the history books. >> chloe zhou picking up an oscar for best director for "nomadland. "first woman of color to do so. the film also picking up honors in best actress and best picture. jun seven yonen is joun picked up best actress. her speech a moving part of last 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 boseman to receive that for his role in "ma rainey's black bottom." many people confused how boseman wasn't picked as the winner. the producer also posted that boseman would not be upset over losing, and others should not be either. anthony hopkins did not go to the show, but did post a video on his instagram saying that he didn't expect the award and dedicated it to chadwick boseman. others saying this year's oscars was the most chaotic ever. the best actor award going last after best picture.

55 penguins live at the san francisco zoo and zookeepers say they all have very different, very distinct personalities. penguin fossils date back to 50 million years ago. their ancestors were bigger than what we know as emperor penguins. those guys are pretty big, almost four feet. aside from their size, penguins haven't changed much in 50 million years. that would be something to run into a four-foot penguin. right now at 6:00, getting back to school on this monday morning. sorry, kids. but happening today, thousands of kids are actually getting the green light. could be exciting for them to get back into the classroom in two bay area school districts, but the key question, will families choose to willet them return? we'll have a live report talking about it next. plus president joe biden getting high marks from americans for his speedy vaccine rollout but as the president nears the completion of his 100 days in office this week, there are s
