weekend forecast. mike, what's going on now for the commute? >> it's looking at the friday commute leading to the weekend, so it's an easier drive right now less volume on the roadways. the map shows you no slowing through san jose, 101, typically shows another burst coming in, the next few minutes it will hold off for another 15 or 20 minutes there for any slowing and a nice drive through most of contra costa county but slowing for highway 4 through concord, it's subtle. we're looking at another issue as well getting across the bay bridge, and the last few minutes we had another issue reported mid span but that slowing has started to clear and the toll plaza still has no backups so the incline you'll be tapping the brakes. back to you. >> all right, thank you very much. all new home for the tigers of "tiger king" and dogs, too. still ahead at 6:25 on "today in the bay," we're having an inside look at the effort to rescue more than 60 big cats from the zoo featured on the hit show.

very happy friday to you as well. as you plan for your weekend or perhaps you look forward ahead to summer vacation, know that spring and summer of 2021 are going to be the season of shortages. restaurants complaining they can't get their hands on enough supply of meat and other menu items. the "wall street journal" says prices on pepperoni are up 60% over the past five weeks. you may see unusual things on your favorite restaurant's menu, because restaurant owners and chefs are running short of what they used to serve and they're trying to think creatively about what they can serve, what their buyers can get their hands on. this is not going to last forever. earlier we were talking about the humber shortage and how that led to high lumber prices but the high prices encourage saw mills to double their efforts increasing supply, which brings the price down. that's the old saw, pun intentional there, that the solution to high prices is high prices.

one of the biggest shortages is car rentals not just in popular vacation spots but everywhere because car rental companies are moving their cars from less popular locations to more desirable areas to try to shortages of new cars as well as car manufacturers shut down production because there's a shortage of computer chips. the white house says it will not grant car makers requests to be put in the front of the line for new chips. now the one thing you can probably find lots of for super cheap is hand sanitizer, some stores offering a buy one get three deal. a lot of companies ramped up to meet demand. demand has fallen, they can barely give the stuff away and i think that's a good indication, laura and marcus, that all shortages turn into oversupply eventually, so eventually there will be way too much pepperoni in the world. as for restaurants, you know our cierra johnson is looking

into people's plans over the weekend as san francisco continues to open up. if you don't have your reservations, i suggest getting them as quickly as you can. she'll report later. >> and get hand sanitizer, too, since there's plenty of it. >> i have some, yes. >> thanks, scott. oprah and prince harry are teaming up together to shine a spotlight on mental health. >> the words mental health, crazy. >> lost it. can't keep it together. it's that sigma of being labeled the other. >> the pair working on a docu series called "the me you can't see" on apple tv. prince harry shares how his mother's death affected him. this morning on the "today" show, hoda kotb talks to oprah one with on one about her prime time interview with harry and meghan markle and some of the

criticism that followed. >> people have to speak out and prince harry has been speaking out. with his speaking out, oprah, he's gotten some criticism, i don't know whether it's for speaking out too much. he asked for privacy, and now people feel like they're seeing him everywhere. what are the critics not understanding about what's going on? >> you know, i asked for privacy and i'm talking all the time. so i think being able to have a life that you are not intruded upon by photographers or people flying overhead or invading your life. >> you can watch the entire interview coming up on the "today" show. right after "today in the bay." call it check mate for the season finale of "saturday night live." this weekend's host is taylor the star of "the queen's gambit." >> one new cast member andrew dismus says he's excited for tomorrow night's show. >> we had the table read yesterday and she did great, has

where did i leave it? >> where is it? >> why did i leave the toilet seat? >> yeah, you're going to need that. you're going to need that. all right. let's keep it clean this morning and get a look at the forecast for today with meteorologist kari hall. nice start to our morning right now. >> yes, and now that the sun is up, i wanted to show you this shot, laura, are you heading there this weekend? it's going to be beautiful and it's great to see that. we have some fresh snow in tahoe. a live look at the resort at squaw creek, a light coating of snow we occasionally get by the end of may but it's really great to see especially because it's been so dry this year and we have the clouds overhead bubbling up and giving more rain even some storms and some snow. all of that activity happening in the sierra is kicking our winds up and here is a look at our start to the morning, in san francisco and the wind speeds we've seen over the past 24

hours. anywhere from 35 to 45 miles per hour in the city, so it's still been very blustery and we're going to see the gusty winds continuing today. also cooler than normal temperatures, we'll head back today with low 60s near the coast, upper 60s for much of the north bay as well as the south bay and some low 70s in a our inland spots. and then as we go through the forecast, we're still looking at some more activity there, so if you will be going to the sierra this weekend, there will be the chance of some more pop-up showers for today and tomorrow, as well as the potential of a few isolated showers in parts of the north bay. for this afternoon some energy making it across the valley and into the bay area, so we will especially in our north bay mountains have a chance that we could see an isolated storm or two for this afternoon, we're seeing that picking up on the models especially by 6:00 to 8:00 this evening, and then the rest of the bay area is going to stay mostly dry. so that will be nice to get some

rain but the rest of the forecast is going to start to warm up and so mike, as people are getting ready to head out the door, how is it looking for the commute? >> it's looking great, kari. i don't want to jinx things. [ whispering ] it's looking great. green sensors are dominating and it's friday, we expect lighter traffic and the second slowdown has not kicked in for san jose. it wouldn't typically kick in for 25 minutes but we'll follow. it is kicking for highway 4, more slowing bay point into concord, for highway 4 adding five minutes onto your drive getting over to the bay bridge it just fine. here are your travel times through that portion of contra costa county, and the bay bridge toll plaza even though it's slowing on the incline no backup and no wait here. back to you. >> all right, thanks. coming up next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> two frustrating complaints, $2,000 on the line and one invitation for to you join us

the capitol in washington continues. thursday the senate majority leader chuck schumer said a vote on a bipartisan independent panel would be introduced in the senate despite it looks look it won't pass. schumer said he wants people on historical record as to how they're going to vote. the independent commission would be modeled on the 9/11 commission and not made up of lawmakers but independent experts and things like law enforcement and terrorism appointed by both parties. how contentious is capitol security? a house bill to give more money to capitol police barely passed. it would also harden doors and windows and create a quick reaction force. republicans who voted no said it was too much money. left wing democrats put themselves in the defund the police camp also voted no, said the exact same thing.

it was too much money for police. we're learning more about the president's test drive the other day, the ceo of ford says his team had no idea the president would drive the truck. they thought he was kidding when he asked. everyone laughed politely, he said, then realized he was serious. one of the stranger fact checks we've ever had to do, the head of ford also had to react to right-wing media which claims the president didn't really drive the truck claiming there were two steering wheels. a secret service agent had his hand on the dash, not on another steering wheel which there wasn't one. the ford f-150 has a big battery but one steering wheel. the president's ability to drive is very well documented. his dad was a ford dealer and owned a '67 corvette for years. president drives. we're talking about all twitter follow me there,

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live in santa clara with a closer look at what experts are now telling us. kris? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. the first people who would need a booster shot if it's necessary will be the first people who got their covid shots back in january, and that is of course our front sleeves, they were in the first round of

vaccine distributions. the head of pfizer and moderna say they may need boosters around september, though speaking on the "today" show this morning, dr. anthony fauci said that we may be able to push the boosters up to a year after vaccination. >> likely there would be a need for a booster somewhere between 8 and 12 months but that remains to be seen. >> we know the vaccine durability of the efficacy lasts at least six months and likely considerably more, but i think we will almost certainly require a booster sometime within a year or so. >> reporter: any boost areers are easier to get than covid vaccines. three vaccines are available. the supply distribution chains and because we got vaccinated at different times we won't show up at the oakland coliseum or levi's stadium to get our third

shot, should we need it. back to you. >> kris, before you go, so what do we know about the booster shots? will they be the full size or how long could we be taking them possibly? >> reporter: what we know at this point is that the moderna ceo, their trial is in the phase two trial and they say that it appears to provide protection against variants nation to that original covid vaccine but in looking around on booster shot information, i did find something interesting out of the uk. they are going to start a study in june of thousands of people who are fully vaccinated, they're going to use seven different vaccines that are approved, authorized for use there in the uk. they're going to try full doses versus partial doses and going to try to mix things up if the dose you got initially is different from your booster shot so maybe a pfizer booster for your moderna and see how that works out. those results can't be used here in the u.s. but they can be used to inform us here on our

decisions. >> sure. exactly, we can t a peek at them kris. 6:49. cierra johnson has been reporting this morning that tonight will be a busy one at chase center because it all comes down to this one do or die game for the warriors. the dubs host the memphis grizzlies in the final play in game for the first round of the playoffs. if the warriors win tonight, they face top seeded utah as the eighth seed in the west. the giants tonight open a big series at oracle against the world champion dodgers. they entered the series on a big time roll, scoring the most runs for any team this season, 19 home runs yesterday against cincinnati reds, including the third inning grand slam by steven duggar. >> all right we call them the boys of summer but it looks like winter is trying to hang on at least in the sierra. kari, they got some snow up
