good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. first, it's going to be a little warm today but here in the bay area we've got something to be grateful for. we're not in portland or las vegas because records there are said to be shattered across the west. portland is expected to reach 115 degrees with temperatures in sin city expected to hike up to 107, two of the many extreme places we're seeing really big heat. >> and that is keeping local utilities paying close attention as of now, state energy leaders do not expect to issue a flex alert, despite the extreme temperatures. cal iso says the grid operator expects that there will be enough energy to keep up with that demand. now we want to bring in meteorologist kari hall to talk about any possible relief we have in sight, kari. >> we will see the temperatures backing off as we go through the week but part of the reasons

we've seen the really historic heat wave is because of a high pressure centered over the pacific northwest and with climate change the extreme events may become more common in spots that aren't used to dealing with this kind of heat. 115 degrees today in portland, 109, 110 actually for a high in seattle, and we'll reach up to 109 in phoenix today. hotter in portland than phoenix. it's really crazy to say, laura. >> very much so. thanks so much. 6:01. as of this morning, in some select locations across the state, fireworks will go on sale ahead of the fourth of july holiday. this, despite the dry conditions making things ripe for wildfires. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson joins us live in san bruno where you can buy the fireworks. sierra, a lot of other communities are saying don't even try it, don't cross the line. they're watching you. >> yes, good morning, laura. you need to pay attention to

what your jurisdiction says you can and cannot use. here in san bruno the sale of fireworks is legal. you can see behind me a huge setup here in the parking lot of a mall. you will see a lot more sites like this in some of the communities because we're a couple days away from the fourth of july. take a look at your screen. we've broken down where it is legal to sell those safe fireworks. here in san bruno as i mentioned the stands are ready. today is the first day of sale. sales start this week in pacific, dublin, newark, union city, gilroy and other north bay locations are going to begin to sell fireworks a couple days ahead of the holiday. while fireworks are legal in some communities, others have already shared they plan to step up patrols this holiday weekend. the drought-like conditions as well as those hot temperatures make it dangerous in some places to set off fireworks. san jose police actually took to twitter to remind theirn that community are illegalan

result in thousands of dollars in fines or even jail time. for some of the folks we spoke with in the bay area, they say it's a tradition that should be left to the professionals. >> i hear illegal fireworks going off all the time. i don't believe any fireworks should be sold. it should be controlled shows. >> i don't think fireworks should be illegal but keep them small, know what i mean? keep them small and don't promote all these big parties with these big illegal fireworks. >> reporter: california isn't the only state to have some communities ban the use of personal fireworks. other locations like new mexico and idaho have done things similar. there's already been some smaller wildfires, smaller bush fires. as we go into the fourth of july holiday it is crucial that if this is legal in your community, you do what you can to keep

yourself and those around you and really the land around you safe this fourth of july holiday. we're live in san bruno, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> we all have to be smart about it. thanks. this morning, crews in surfside, florida r entering day five of the search and rescue efforts following a deadly condo collapse. the death toll standing at nine. 152 still missing. the rescue crews have cut a 125-foot long trench 20 feet wide and 40 feet deep in an attempt to locate crevices for survivors. officials said they did identify another four victims. families of the missing also visited that site of the collapse yesterday, this is after requesting access to did families an opportunity to privately visit the site. this was something that many of the family members had requested and so our teams worked to set up something to accommodate them

and i think that it turned out very well and they were very grateful for the opportunity. >> miami-dade county ordered new audits of all older buildings within 30 days as officials work on relocating residents. in a sister building as well. developing now, president biden has directed u.s. military forces to carry out air strikes against iran's backed militia groups. this is new video of that military separation. his administration says the militias are behind repeat drone attacks against the u.s. military in iraq. the strikes took place in the iraq/syria border region and were meant to deter or tis rupt any future attacks. the statement guess goes on to say u.s. troops are there at the invitation of the fwfts government for the sole purposes of assisting to defeat isis. a look at the white house this morning where president biden will welcome the president

>> it's very important that we pass reconciliation bill and a family plan that expanding child care that lowers the cost of medicare, that supports families in the economy. >> reporter: but that will have to wait. lawmakers start writing up the infrastructure deal this week. $1.2 trillion focused on fixing roads and bridges. >> if you go home and talk to constituents who are stuck in traffic for an hour and a half getting to work they want these, they want a bridge coming to a town near them. >> reporter: the deal includes some money for clean energy and internet. >> this is not going to be added. the infrastructure bill we've done in a bipartisan way has paid for us. we've used the money that we have. we have moved money we had, not used yet. >> i am totally confident the president will sign it if it comes to his desk. >> reporter: can democrats get it there? it needs 60 votes in the senates to pass.

>> all right. having an issue with tracie potts's microphone. thank you for that update. 6:07 this morning. the world health organization is actually urging the fully vaccinated to keep masking up sand practice social distancing. this as the highly contagious delta variant continues spreading. if you're heading to get your vaccine today you may see a new warning added to the pfizer and moderna covid vaccines. fda added a rare heart inanymation in both of those vaccines after the cdc says more than 1200 cases have been actually reported and mostly people 30 and under who received their second dose of the vaccine. however, health officials say those cases are rare. a live look at san francisco this morning where the city is moving forward on trying to get all of the 35,000 workers vaccinated. starting today, all current workers will have 30 days to

reveal the vaccination status so they can comply with cal osha regulations to work without a mask. the city says all of its employees must get vaccinated once the fda fully approves the shot. if you have a medical problem or religious reason you don't have to get one, but for the vast majority if they refuse they could be terminated is. more living near the oregon border are told to standby to evacuate as a fast-moving fire continues to grow. lightning sparked a fire in the trinity shasta forest friday morning. there are evacuation warnings in place for people near the city. more than 500 acres have burned and 20% of the fire is contained. back in the bay area live look outside, to the east bay. good morning, oakland. sun is up across the bay area. hopefully not warming things up too much. it depends on where you are. let's check in with kari who has a look at our forecast. >> it's going to be a nice day

for a lot of us, but it will be heating up in some of our interior valleys. over to pleasant hill, we're starting out with a cloudy sky and temperatures in the upper 50s. we can see how our temperatures warm up as the sky clears and we'll go from the upper 60s to low 80s by early in the afternoon. there are going to be a little bit warmer here compared to other spots. san jose reaching 81 degrees but 90 in antioch today and low 80s for napa while we'll see upper 90s for spots like clearlake under a heat advisory. we'll talk more about a bump in temperatures just a few more degrees coming up in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking for the commute? >> more cars out there, but no big deal as far as our speed sensors go, looking good. the san jose slowing clears from the first slow. the second one will kick in about a half hour. peninsula, north 101, slowing heading up before you get to the san francisco airport exit. there is a crash blocking one lane and also activity on the

shoulder. your fast lane and the shoulder are both distractions there. be careful. no problems getting into san francisco along the peninsula, slowing across that westbound direction typical for the commute. look at the bay bridge toll plaza. just started in the last one minute, backup started to form at the toll plaza itself. back to you. >> getting busy out there for a monday. 6:11. one app many of us use every day. coming up next on "today in the bay," the changes coming to venmo that may make you some money. lot of money being made on wall street as we hit new records. let's check the futures this morning. see where we're headed. looks like more green arrows. and we're counting down to the tokyo games. the u.s. women's gymnastics team is set. the bay area athletes who painfully missed that cut and the decision from one of the biggest stars in tennis. ♪♪

[announcement on pa] how far would you go for a togo?

it is 6:14. heading out doors in oakland we're starting out with our typical morning clouds and low temperatures and it will be a nice day as we make it into the upper 60s and low 70s here.

there will be a wide range in temperatures across the bay area. we'll talk about that coming up in a few minutes. >> we're talking about the bay bridge with the backup. look at that since the last report we filled in the middle lanes, starting to fill them all in except hov. three or more, you get a quicker drive through the toll plaza. more coming up. good morning. happy monday to you. it's elon musk's birthday today. he turns 50 years old. the markets will start the day with new records. let's go straight to the futures and the predictions that traders make on the open. the one you want to watch is the s&p 500 which set new records on the close friday. a lot going on. there's an opec meeting and jobs report. i'll get to that in a second. s&p 500 hit that record 4280 on friday. as we've talked about before that index is actually a much better measure of the overall health of equities simply because it's got so many companies in the index than the dow 30 industrials which as the same says measures just 30.

so it does feel a little bit naughty to look ahead to friday when it's only a monday, but we have got the jobs report. by friday we'll get the report for june. we have been looking for evidence the economy is recovering after the pandemic. i know you've seen this in places like restaurants is there are a lot of job openings but doesn't necessarily mean people are taking the jobs. they're staying home. politicians will tell you that's because they're getting paid to stay home, unemployment benefits are so good people from returning to work and that could be the case in certain situations. however it's up to the states whether or not to tack on that extra unemployment benefit that was offered during the pandemic. california still offers it but 22 states have stopped and we're not seeing people flooding in to fill those job openings.

even when getting the extra pay. nothing in economics or life is cut and dry. the argument that generous benefits keeping people away from work may be true for some families but the evidence isn't strong, it's likely the answer is way more complicated and video individualized for each family making decisions. >> it's interesting to see job postings and bonuses they're offering. >> desperate. >> thank you, scott. 6:17. venmo will let users sell products and services on their personal accounts for a fee, of course. the new policy will take effect july 20th. users will be charged nearly 2% plus a 10 cent fee. this is the latest attempt by paypal which owns venmo to profit from the payment app. this is more than 70 million users. last year they rolled out a credit card and a flexible cash rewards program. okay. lot of people talking about this morning, rapper cardi b has done

and out the door but you just sit tight before you hear kari's forecast this morning. wanted to show you this video we have where some people are trying to cool off in the desert by taking ice baths. >> oh, my. >> take a look at that. oh, yeah. and so, you know, of course you want to do this with the help of a medical professional. don't try this at home but sometimes just taking a dip in lake tahoe can feel like this. >> that's true. >> people are saying this is helping them stay cool, helping them stay cool and also good for your health too. i mean, i don't know if this is how we're going to beat the summer heat. take a look at these temperatures and what we're starting with, we are seeing some of the clouds over parts of the bay area. a wide range in temperatures so we're going to see some low 80s in san jose, but then some low 90s in gilroy and petaluma headed towards the mid 80s. as the seven-day forecast comes up at the bottom of the screen you'll want to check it out as

we see the extreme temperatures across the pacific northwest. it's going to start to ease off but i know that relief from the heat can't come soon enough for spots like seattle and portland seeing some record all-time record high temperatures in that region. for us we've seen a slight warmup in our temperatures and we're going to get a boost of another four or five degrees tomorrow. let me show you livermore. we'll reach into the upper 80s and we'll see more of that heading into tomorrow, but then we go into the rest of the week with some milder weather and that includes the fourth of july. coming up this sunday looks pretty good with some low 80s for some of our warmest spots inland. of course, for san francisco we monitor to see if there's going to be fog and at this point the answer is yes. we're not going to see any change in the pattern here, but it's also what's keeping it cool near the coastline. mike, you've got some breaking news. what's going on? >> over on the peninsula we told you about a crash near sfo, northbound 101 is jamming up just before you get to that sfo

exit. i don't think we have to get over to el camino or 280 because it's a short section of slowing but there are six vehicles involved, so chp has called what they call a sigalert. it's going to take about a half hour to clear these vehicles and hopefully get it cleared sooner but that will be a distraction. unexpectedly slow north past sfo for 101. no major injuries, that's the good news, five, possibly ten minutes on your drive into the city. south bay, east bay looking great except for the bay bridge toll plaza and highway 4. those are the areas seeing the most slowing over the last few. the bay bridge toll plaza itself, the backup is filling in the toll plaza now. back to you. >> thank you, mike. coming up next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> after hours on the phone and several months in the ringer, one bay area's mom brand new dryer wasn't working. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay area responds. >> ransomware attacks already

good morning. erica in oakland paid sears $891.66 for a brand new dryer and installation. erica says sears rescheduled delivery four times. the bigger issue, however, was how it was installed. erica says a crew stacked the washer and the dryer and this brackett right here wasn't properly screwed in. erica was worried this was unsafe. 12 days later another crew told her the first crew installed that dryer the wrong way and told her to stop using it until sears sent someone to fix it. a few weeks later nothing. and no follow-up. no working dryer either. she asked us for help. we contacted sears. within a few weeks it sent someone to properly attach the five months after erica first ordered her dryer for $891, she

vaccination rates continue to slow. the state averaging fewer than 100,000 daily doses. over a quarter of eligible residents are still not vaccinated according to the cdc, 71% 12 and older have gotten one dose and 57% across the state are fully vaccinated. some pretty frightening moments off pacific over the weekend. six foot great white shark bit a surfer's leg. this is video taken of a shark sight at the same beach a few weeks ago. this morning the victim is out of the hospital but the beach remains closed indefinitely. we spoke with one man who was fishing and called for help. i looked at the guy and said help might be on its way but let's get you taken care of. >> frightening moments after a >> quick thinking there. with july 4th around the corner

there is official rescue mission. do they have any indication that it could switch to recovery any time soon? >> laura, nothing official, but you do see some changes here. heavier equipment being brought in. they're kind of changing some of the strategy as they move in. again, a lot of hope still here with the rescue teams, with the families that are watching, but you can see that it's slowly shifting that way and i think that's a process that will take a couple of days here. they'll continue to hold out hope as long as they can, continue to try to find someone alive in that rubble, but it's definitely moving that way. >> lot of prayers for miracles. thanks for the latest. 6:46 right now. moving on to politics now, president biden one step closer to an infrastructure deal this morning. >> though not quite the deal he wanted, scott mcgrew. >> that's what compromises tend to do, right. president biden has made a compromise, they would call it a bipartisan deal, with a small

group of republicans to push through an infrastructure deal. now there are a couple votes fr republicans to get it through the senate? he needs ten, assuming all democrats vote yes, and that is the second big question, will all democrats vote yes? a live look at the white house this morning. the reason democrats might defect on the deal because they feel it doesn't go far enough. they do have a separate route for another side deal, pushing through what they would consider bigger and better portions of a bill separately through what they call reconciliation. they just need a simple majority in the senate for that, not 60 votes. no matter what happens, though, we can say there is progress this morning. here's a republican senator praising the first part of the deal. >> it's a great deal. it is actually going to provide the infrastructure that american people want, that they need, that will make our country more prosperous for all americans.

i hope it's enough. we'll see going forward. i'll continue to work for the bill. >> the president will meet with israel's president today. this is not the gentleman elected to replace benjamin netanyahu. israel has a prime minister and a president simultaneously. as do many countries with parliamentary systems. video here of our secretary of state blinkp meeting with israel's president rivlin. the importance here is a reset with israel and the united states from its previous two leaders. netanyahu and trump. netanyahu with the former prime minister forced out earlier this month and is now in the midst of a corruption trial. back here at home we're watching both the new york state attorney general and the d.a. for manhattan as they wrap up their investigation into the trump organization. "the washington post" quoting two unnamed sources reports this morning prosecutors have set a deadline for today for the company to offer reasons it

should not be charged criminally. we are talking about the trump organization. that's the company that trump runs, not trump himself. we're watching everything in washington and now in new york as well. we're talking about it on twitter. you'll find me there, @scott mcgrew. >> thanks so much. it's 6:49. happening today, state lawmakers may vote on a push to speed up the special election timeline. democratic lawmakers believe when it comes to the recall, all the conditions are favoring governor newsom right now. their theory follows the longer the wait, the more the potential for problems to arise. critics argue democrats are trying to steamroll the change. if approved the measure would roll back deliberate steps to four years ago to slow down a effort ousting a state senator. whatever happens, an election is not expected before mid september to allow time for the ballots to be printed. happening today, it's almost liftoff for a sacramento schoolteacher. >> yeah. domina stamas is a teacher in
