taxes are due, you can't wait any longer. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this monday. thanks so much for making us a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm ginger conejero saab. laura garcia has the day off. if you are on the go you can also watch us live on roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and online. >> we're going to get to some breaking news in just a bit. mike is going to have a look at the commute. first we want to get you started with meteorologist kari hall with a look at the forecast. what are we going to need? >> a coat, definitely. later on today it's going to be umbrellas and tomorrow morning as well. but at least we do have a nice, quiet start to our monday morning as you get ready to head out. that's a live look at the bay bridge where it's looking busy. high temperatures reaching into the mid-60s in san francisco, upper 60s for oakland, and 71 for san jose and fairfield, santa rosa reaching 64 degrees. by tonight we start to see this
6:01 am
storm system approaching the north bay, bringing rain and there are several more storm systems moving in as we head through the week. we'll be talking about that in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. this morning we are following breaking news for you out of ukraine. at least seven people are now confirmed dead after suspected russian missiles striking lviv. nbc news crews just feet away from that blast. "today in the bay's" brie jackson has been following the latest developments in another unrelenting attack, brie. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. good morning, marcus. nbc news crews are on lockdown right now inside of a hotel. we're told that everyone is okay. but they were on the ground in the middle of an interview when that air strike -- when those missiles, excuse me, struck. >> cruise missile. stand by. five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. >> there it is, there's the
6:02 am
smoke. >> that's three. >> so three cruise missiles? >> yeah. >> reporter: in addition to seven people killed, 11 others were injured, including a child. lviv's mayor says a total of five missiles struck three military targets and a tire fitting center. the blast seriously damaged military infrastructure and destroyed nearly 40 cars. shockwaves from the missiles shattered the windows of a nearby hotel being used by ukrainians who had been evacuated from other areas. it looks to set launch on a major offensive in the donbas region, russia has said it intends to step up attack on kyiv and supply lines in the country's west. white house officials have said that it's highly unlikely that president biden would visit ukraine in the near future. meanwhile, ukrainian officials
6:03 am
warn that a takeover of mariupol could lead to an end to peace talks. so far, no sign of the war coming to an end any time soon, marcus. >> brie jackson in washington this morning, thank you. it's 6:02. happening today, a suspect involved in a shooting at a south bay mall will be in court. it happened last december at oak ridge mall in south san jose. police say the 18-year-old naylen hobson and his girlfriend were approached by two men who then robbed them of their jewelry. officers say that's when hobson pulled out a gun and fired at the thieves. hobson, who is now charged with attempted murder, is expected to enter a plea today. no one was injured in the shooting. the two other suspects were also arrested and face robbery charges. happening now, the city of san francisco is commemorating the anniversary of the infamous 1906 earthquake. in a matter of just minutes we are expecting a moment of silence to honor the lives lost.
6:04 am
>> "today in the bay's" cierra johnson joining us from delores park. this is the second stop for the ceremony. >> reporter: good morning, that's exactly right. the first stop we were in front of the fountain. we hustled over, got here and now we are standing near delores park where folks are spray painting the hydrant. it was monumental in 1906, it was one of the many that worked and saved lives during the quake. last live shot we were first at the fountain where we heard from mayor london breed, as well as former mayor willie brown. they talked about those who perished, as well as the first responders. at 5:11, a brief moment of silence. that was the exact time the earthquake struck. as you can imagine, the quake could be felt across the bay area. and then just a few moments later, 5:12, sirens broke that
6:05 am
moment of silence. it was followed by a musical selection of a song honoring the city. which brings us back here to delores park, again, it's where folks are painting that golden fire hydrant, 20th and church street. this hydrant was found to be in working condition, ultimately saving many lives during that quake. to give you a little bit of insight, that quake was a huge one, 7.9, leaving 250,000 people homeless, killing more than 3,000 folks. we just heard from some folks spraying the fire hydrant with gold spray paint, remembering folks. one individual said he was spraying it in honor of his grandparents, who survived the quake, left the city and ultimately returned when they felt it was safe. there are a lot of stories like that, but also some not so fortunate. so something that was brought up on more than one occasion was how this could happen again. we really want to make sure folks are prepared, so not only do we have information on our
6:06 am
website, nbcbayarea.com, on things you should have in your to-go bag. but sonoma county will hold its shake out earthquake drill today. so you can find information on that on our website as well. behind me, we're still honoring the 116th anniversary of that quake that changed lives and shape the city. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> thank you. well, speaking of other things to watch out for, aside from the earthquake tips, as we count down to earth day on friday, nbc news is rolling out a week of stories across the network dedicated to the environment. >> and today al roker, he spoke with meteorologist kari hall about our drought and our climate in crisis. >> as you know, in california, my gosh, the drought, it seems like you're in a perpetual state of drought. that's a big deal. and what are you going to do to mitigate the problems of a lack of one of the most precious
6:07 am
resources on our planet, water. >> yeah, water here is like gold. so a lot of us here think about going electric and stop using fossil fuels. so what will you be covering in your series? >> you know, there's the usual suspects, but there are some really interesting innovations going on. the yellow school bus, the iconic yellow school bus, how many hundreds of thousands are there across the country? well, if we could convert those fleets to electric, that would eliminate a huge source of greenhouse gases. so it's those little things and big things that can make a huge difference. >> and cutting those emissions, that's very important. but there are so many other challenges that we face, as we talked about our lack of water. so what will be some of the other topics you're covering? >> well, one of the things we're looking at, and when we talk about solutions, is that this next generation coming up, the social media generation is not going to take this lying down.
6:08 am
they want change. and they're using their social media to speak out, to hold corporate and governmental entities' feet to the fire to demand change, because they expect the places that they frequent, the companies that they buy products from to be good corporate planet citizens. and that's going to make a big difference, too. >> now, april 22nd is earth day. and all this week the "today" show and us here at "today in the bay," we're going to focus on our climate in crisis and ways that you can help our planet. find out more information on nbcbayarea.com. i know it's certainly been something that you've been talking about and it's really interesting to see how this generation z is going to make a big impact on our planet. >> you saw them cleaning out the beaches and we had a good talk. he's going to be going to puerto rico, so watch out for those reports on the "today" show this week. let's get you out the door ready for work and for our weather
6:09 am
today. we're seeing some of the showers approaching from the north. this is going to take its time getting here and we'll see the north bay getting in on some wet weather later this afternoon into the evening. by evening commute parts of the north bay could see light showers. but most of it coming later on tonight. by 11:00, much of the north bay covered with some light rain, and then it quickly sweeps through during the overnight hours. this will have a major impact to your plans because a lot of it does clear out by early tomorrow morning, but we are going to see more rain coming our way. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. are the metering lights on at the bay bridge? >> they are. activated just on schedule, at 5:43, i think was the time today. about that window is when we see that. your backup is right on schedule at the bay bridge incline and should fill in over the next ten minutes. it's 6:09 right now. we'll see how that shapes up. we're looking at a slower drive in general across the bay but not anything dramatic.
6:10 am
a little build for highway 37, a little for highway 4. we see the volume starting to build. now we have a disabled vehicle in walnut correct, south 680. no details. chp is not there yet. that is a potential trouble spot toward the 24 interchange. we'll track that. a disabled vehicle for south 101 in the south bay. shouldn't be a concern as it gets to the hold. back to you. >> thanks, mike. this morning, time is running out to file your taxes. ahead on "today in the bay," what you need to keep in mind if you haven't already filed them. >> and what's for breakfast this morning? you might want to skip out on lucky charms. the reason the popular cereal is under investigation by the fda. stay with us. you're watching "today in the bay."
6:13 am
right now at 6:13, let's get you out the door in the tri-valley. we're taking a live look outside in dublin. it's only 40 degrees. it is a chilly start. you can see the trend heading straight up as we go into this afternoon, reaching into the mid to upper 60s. we'll see some more clouds in the mix as some rain comes in late this evening. i'll talk about that timeline coming up. >> much farther west on 580, the richmond side of the bridge to san rafael, the volume builds. no waiting just yet, but it's a few minutes away. the rest of the bay shows signs of slowing for the south bay and
6:14 am
the bay bridge is already starting to see brake-tapping approaching the toll plaza. good morning. very happy monday to you. it's also tax day. normally tax day is the 15th, but the 15th was a holiday, so it got kicked to today. a reminder, this year there will be questions about whether you made money off things like robinhood or coinbase. profits from stock and cryptocurrency. you've always had to pay money on investments, but some younger people may not realize that. if you file electronically, you can watch the progress of your return, if you have one, at irs.gov/refund. i'll put that on my twitter and facebook. if you aren't ready to file, you can get an extension. our consumer reporter, chris chmura, explains how at nbcbayarea.com/howto. keep in mind for an extension, you've got to estimate and pay whatever tax you think you owe. so you kind of have to do your taxes one way or the other
6:15 am
today. other news, shares in twitter are nowhere near what elon musk offered for them last week, meaning investors not taking musk's offer seriously. the company's board moved to block musk's after at $54.20. if investors really thought musk was going to move forward with this, or especially if he were going to raise his offer, twitter would not be trading for nearly $10 below the bid. musk makes it very difficult to understand when he's being serious. his announcement he wanted to buy the company was in a text message to the twitter board chairman. i've decided i want to acquire the company and take it private. president biden says he'll allow more drilling on federal land. this is in an effort to bring down oil prices. of course that will take a while. oil companies already have federal drilling leases they're not using. we'll talk more about this as we talk politics in about 30 minutes. but of course many of the things biden went into office talking about, you know, reducing drilling on federal land, getting build back better done,
6:16 am
those sorts of things, he has not been able to accomplish, and many on his side of the party are very upset with him. >> got to watch out for that and maybe how that will affect midterms. >> it's going to affect it very badly. >> we'll be listening in. thanks a lot. this morning we've still got more news t. fda is investigating lucky charms, after hundreds of social media posts claiming the cereal made them sick. the agency has not issued a formal alert since april 1st. more than 1,000 people across the u.s. have posted having stomach issues. now many of the reports mentioned related symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and more. general mills, which makes lucky charms, says it doesn't believe the cereal is to blame. and trending this morning, it's a tradition for kids to take pictures with santa and the easter bunny, and many times those pictures, well, they don't turn out as planned. >> "today" show's carson daly's
6:17 am
2-year-old fell victim to the easter money. blake shelter dressed up as the easter bunny. just look at little goldie's face. screaming and crying, with a mouthful of food. >> aw. >> he tries to free himself from the easter bunny. he wasn't a fan of sheldon in the easter bunny outfit. he's proud of his fuzzy pink onesie. every now and then they cry with santa or the easter bunny. >> there was no crying with my kids. they were all over that, unfortunately. >> blake didn't have the candy. >> that's right. >> he had the onesie that might be useful in today's weather. i don't know. >> i would be a little scared if i saw someone wearing that
6:18 am
today. easter is over with. but you do want to wear some layers today. as you're getting ready to head out, we're starting out with some of these temperatures in the 30s. but we are going to warm up nicely in time for the home opener for the a's. take a look at the coliseum, all nice and quiet. our temperatures today head for the upper 60s. it's going to be so nice and the sun won't be just beaming down, because we'll start to see clouds moving in. parts of the north bay seeing increasing cloud cover and our highs in the mid-60s. for the south bay we'll reach 71 degrees. 71 also in livermore. once again, rain arriving tonight into early tomorrow morning. that will keep the temperatures down a few degrees. we'll head for the mid-60s tomorrow. then on wednesday another round of rain comes in, but that will be moving into the bay area by wednesday afternoon. so we're headed for the upper 60s. we do have several storm systems that will be approaching for the week and this first one is going to be moving through fairly
6:19 am
quickly. as we take a look at our hour-by-hour forecast, we're going to stop at about 7:00, 7:30, where we see rain moving into ukiah and spotty light showers ahead of that. we'll start out tomorrow morning with that rain pushing out and then clearing skies for tomorrow afternoon. the next round of rain coming in on wednesday afternoon. as far as how much rain we could see, it's going to be fairly light for areas south of the golden gate bridge. maybe 0.1 of an inch or less. then going into the rest of the week with more rain coming in. in total this week, we could see about 0.5 inch of rain for san francisco toward the east bay and maybe more for the north bay, 1 inch or more for some of those spots. we could see the waves of rain on thursday into friday. and it may be a soggy start to the weekend, but saturday and sunday are looking nice. next week we may start to see rain drying up. as we go into the next several
6:20 am
days with sierra snow, if your kids are going to be out on spring break and you're going there, it's going to be really nice to see possibly up to 27 inches of snow falling over the course of the next several days. so we do have a lot of active weather here. our temperatures stay seasonable, reaching into the upper 60s for our inland areas and clearing out for saturday and sunday. san francisco is also going to see rain at times, either later this evening or early in the morning, and then again for wednesday afternoon. mike, you have a couple of changes in the last few minutes. >> we do. some of them are positive. in the south bay we've seen speeds start to recover a little bit from the first burst. peninsula hasn't seen any problems. also, this crash, south 680, that cleared from walnut clear, which is great, but it's still a slower drive because of highway 4 and 242 and the building volume. we still have slower freeways, the cut coming off of highway 4 toward the 24 interchange, a little better route. a surface street.
6:21 am
be extra careful. the bay bridge, the build is starting to form, approaching the toll plaza. the metering lights were turned on about 45 minutes ago. back to you. >> thanks, mike. well, next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> historic new rules rolling out for cruise passengers. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you how they protect you next. >> first, look who was out at the ballgame this weekend. cierra johnson got to root on the giants with some great company out there. you can keep up with her on facebook, twitter and instagram. much more ahead this morning on "today in the bay." it's 6:21.

attention all of you who enjoy an ocean or river cruise, you have new rights starting today. >> consumer investigator chris chmura has a look at them for us. >> reporter: good morning. since the pandemic started, our responds team has recovered tens of thousands of dollars for cruise passengers who had a hassle getting refunds for canceled sailings. we are not alone. the federal maritime commission got a flood of complaints, too. now it's taking action. the commission is setting an industry-wide standard for cruises that start in the u.s. new federal rules that start today require a refund whenever a cruise is canceled or delayed at least three days and you don't go. you can voluntarily agree to a credit with the cruise line. otherwise, you get your money back. you also get back any ancillary
6:25 am
fees you paid. >> so it doesn't matter which cruise line you buy your ticket from, you're going to get treated the same across the board. you're going to have the right to get a refund. >> we asked the cruise line industry association for its take but we didn't receive a response. you can contact us with your consumer complaints. go to nbcbayarea.com and click the responds option from the main menu or call us, 888-966-tips. the warriors are set for game two of their playoff series against the denver nuggets tonight at chase center. the team welcomed back steph curry saturday night in game one of the series. curry didn't start, but he scored 16 points in just 22 minutes. jordan poole was the real star of the night. he scored 30 points to help lead the warriors to an easy 123-107 win. tip-off at the chase center is tonight at 7:00 p.m. from basketball to baseball. a live look inside the coliseum

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live from
6:33 am
burlingame where picketing is expected to begin. >> reporter: good morning, ginger. both sides of this say they want what's best for patients. where they differ is how to get nurses back to those patients' bedsides. after months and months of negotiations, and a federal mediator, negotiations ended last night. at 7:00 this morning, more than 8,000 nurses and other health care workers will begin a one-day strike. several facilities in the bay area will be impacted, as well as other northern california facilities. the nurses say they're fighting for their own safety and for that of their patients. >> we've put forth proposals that encompass nurses, things like safe staffing, things like safer infectious disease protections, things lik preparedness, and they haven't given us meaningful responses to those proposals for the last eight, nine months. >> reporter: now, sutter
6:34 am
contends that it does staff at safe levels and release add statement reading, in part, we will staff our hospitals on monday with the contracted replacement workers where needed. we hope the cna union will call off the strike so our nurses can return to work and do what they do best, care for our patients. now, here are the bay area sutter health locations where you might feel the impact. nurses are going to strike between 7:00 in the morning and 11:00 in the morning, and then 1:00 to 6:00 later today in burlingame, castro valley, oakland, san francisco, berkeley and antioch. we have seen organizers arriving with picket signs. they are set to start lining the street here in front of mills peninsula hospital at 7:00. in burlingame, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot, kris. 6:34 right now, and new this morning many bay area pharmacy shelves are empty, as cold and flu cases are on the rise. now, the cdc says overall
6:35 am
influenza positivity rate is about 8.5%. now, parents we spoke with say bay area infectious disease expert dr. monica gandy isn't surprised and says it's something that also happened a year ago when the covid cases were in decline. >> we have all these other people getting colds and flus and other things out of season, because other viruses come back in. >> dr. gandy also says she expects a downturn in coronavirus cases due to covid immunity holding up. a wild night in the south bay, not one, but two sideshows drawing crowds of people and eventually police last night. now, one sideshow was in the area of fruitdale and meridian. car after car spun out in circles with their tires
6:36 am
screeching, very dangerously close to the crowds. san jose police department's helicopter was overhead and at least 15 squad cars arrived at the scene. now, police are being tight-lipped about what happened, so we don't know if they arrested any of the drivers or if they've impounded any of the cars. [ screeching ] >> now, this is video of a second sideshow in san jose. this one was at capital expressway and capital avenue. we don't know if the two are connected and we also haven't heard reports of any injuries. now, no word on any arrests or seized cars. still in san jose, more than a dozen police officers shut down the intersection of story road and jackson avenue late last night. police aren't saying what happened, but take a look at what we could see. in addition to those closed roads, crime scene tape
6:37 am
stretched around the gas pumps and parking lot of a rotten robbie's. one police car was inside the roped-off area but officers have not said a word about the incident just yet. the area is back open this morning. to a live look at the sierra. this is palisades tahoe where we could see more snow later this week. recent storms brought several feet of snow to the area and it caused for a busy weekend up there in tahoe. but long-term, experts say these late storms will barely make a dent in what has really been a dismal snow and rain season. for now, skiers and snowboarders say they are just happy to get what they're getting. >> i'm still worried about the lack of rain, but we're fortunate that we're getting some snowfall. >> and, of course, meteorologist kari hall has been monitoring the impact. it's certainly not making the impact we really need. >> we're only at about 28% of
6:38 am
the normal amount of snow, so even as we are getting some snow, it's still not 100% and this factors in, this date, what we normally see. so it is extremely low and we do see some more snow on the way. it's nice that we are looking at snow in the forecast up to 2, possibly a little bit more feet, over the next few days. but the closer you get to may, the more likely that any storms that come our way will just fall as rain, and may actually melt a lot of this snow. and we do have more rain headed our way for the next couple of days. this storm system will be the first in a series of a few. we'll talk more about this and how much rain you can expect. that's coming up in a few minutes. mike is tracking a crash in san jose. >> this is on northbound 85. at the bottom of the screen, pushing north in the commute direction, we're slowing because of a crash just around the 87 connecter. a single car involved and i believe it should be cleared any second. no major injuries reported. we know we can expect traffic
6:39 am
right here. didn't know why. it's because bay area has indoor football again, the panthers are playing at s.a.p. center. that's what we anticipate as a potential unexpected flow of traffic for downtown this evening. showing your expected slower drive and your usual suspects at hayward, castro valley. oakland will build tonight at the coliseum t. a's have the home opener. the warriors have extended the season and they're still playing at chase center just off the water. go dubs. back to you. >> thanks, mike. well, a california man had been missing for three years. he was finally found. still ahead, how police were able to identify that teen and reunite him with his family. >> we think it's especially important there be intentional and targeted efforts to reach them and support latino-led organizations, entrepreneurs and so forth. >> everyone is dealing with inflation, but the latino community is being especially
6:40 am
hit hard. we hear from an expert about what families can do to make it in the bay. >> president biden with a new idea to fight high gas prices, plus the latest in ukraine. out to the big board, dow industrials gaining 131 points. a reminder the markets have been closed on friday. you're watching "today in the bay."

6:42 am
6:43 am
in pleasant hill, low 40s in the next hour. take a look at the trend going into this afternoon as we head toward the mid-60s. we'll start to see clouds move in ahead of some rain. we'll talk more about the rain in the forecast coming up. >> the east bay backup has kicked in. on the peninsula, palo alto, 101 is just fine. the taillights heading away from us. some slowing near candlestick. a crash is clearing toward the shoulder. we'll track that coming up. the biden administration is opening up more federal land for drilling. >> scott mcgrew, this is the opposite of what president biden promised on the campaign trail. >> we're right to remind you of that, but the circumstances have changed. biden certainly didn't anticipate a war in europe. none of us did. industry experts say it will take at least six months for this week's announcement to have any effect on gas prices. 144,000 acres of government land now open to new drilling. keep in mind, oil companies have
6:44 am
millions of oil-rich acres already under lease they're not drilling. president biden reminding all of us of that as he announced plans to fight gas prices last month. >> to help execute this first part of my plan i'm calling for a use it or lose it policy. congress should make companies pay fees on wells on federal leases they haven't used in years and acres of public land they're hoarding without production. >> a lot of american companies will report their profits in the next few weeks, part of their quarterly reports. this will be the first time we'll get a really good idea how much the sanctions are affecting our companies' bottom line, how much business they lost in russia. president biden will get a major briefing from his top military brass this week on the situation in ukraine. now, we could tell you what we know from overnight. the russian defense ministry released video on tele reviewing the ranks of surviving
6:45 am
sailers from the missile cruiser moscow. they originally said it sank after an accidental fire, but even russian media is not buying that. ukraine says the ukrainian missiles sank it. the city of mariupol, which is down in the south, may fall to the russians very, very soon. though ukrainians seem to be fighting to the last man. most of the fighting, of course, is to the east and south, but we've been reporting on rocket strikes in lviv. look at how close they are to nato's border, about 45 minutes. one of those rockets overshoots this target, the whole world could go to war. one of our nbc crews watched the missiles overhead in lviv. >> that wasn't a plane, it was a cruise missile. >> that was a cruise missile? >> yeah. wait for one more. they fire them in 30-second intervals. smoke. stand by.
6:46 am
cruise missile. stand by. five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. >> there it is, there's the smoke. >> we'll be watching the reaction to that cruise missile strike. and on a happier note, easter egg wars start today at the white house. on twitter, i'm @scott mcgrew. a northern california man is back home staf this morning. investigators found him after he went missing for three years. >> you're shivering. >> conner jack oswald left his family's clear lake home in 2019 when he was just 17. utah police located him shivering outside of a convenience store saturday, after reports he was seen walking around with a shopping cart. now, oswald is on the autism
6:47 am
spectrum and has a mental health condition. authorities contacted his family, who now lives in idaho, and they were reunited. record inflation hitting many who are just trying to make it in the bay. we're talking about gas prices to groceries. all on the rise. i was able to chat with max vargas, the new vice president of economic justice with the latino community foundation. we talked about a lot of things, including the impact of these rising prices. >> in california, as you may well know and a lot of the viewers know, the cost of living is already significantly high, especially in some of our large metro areas such as san francisco bay area, silicon valley area, and that's exactly why we're seeing some pronounced impacts from the inflation on top of some existing high costs. for communities like the latino community who have been bearing the brunt of the economic fallout from the pandemic, this is exceptionally high. some of the highest costs around inflation have been around energy and food.
6:48 am
on the energy front we're talking utilities, so some of these basic necessities that are starting to squeeze folks on top of other costs such as housing. for the latino community in particular, you add these on top of the fact that when the pandemic struck they were twice as likely to have lost their jobs and were already starting with some of the largest wage gaps. >> talk to us about specific things latino families can do in the bay area to get assistance. we know the need is there. is there assistance and how can they get that? >> absolutely. so we're excited, actually, to announce that we've awarded $1.4 million to latino-led organizations across the state, especially to leverage these efforts for recovery. you've heard the large federal numbers, right, the $1.9 trillion in the american rescue plan, and we're coupling our dollars at the local and state level to support local organizations throughout the state, including in the bay area, several in silicon valley
6:49 am
as well, that can help support our community in accessing those dollars. because we know that when things happen at the federal level, as well-intentioned as they are, we want to make sure it reaches our communities, their pocketbooks, and our state overall. we can't have a full and robust recovery if our latino families aren't recovering in california. i will add, actually in addition to that, there there is still time, the 18th is the last day to file taxes, and file for the earned income tax credit. the california earned income tax credit is just vital for many families and many communities, and unfortunately $76 million goes unclaimed every year. half of that is for latino households. so there is money on the table that could be helping the latino community, the state overall in our recovery if folks would file for the earned income tax credit. >> max, i wish you the best on your new position and bridging that gap to help the families that need it. thank you. >> thank you, marcus.
6:50 am

6:51 am
that drive, to live when you fight something so terrible as cancer and that just translates over to the determination you have to finish those marathons. >> wow, looking forward to hearing that story. >> hopefully they have good weather and maybe we can also get a break from the chilly weather over here. >> i think we have a little bit of boston's weather this morning. it's cool as you're heading out the door, at least by our standards. as we get a live look outside in san jose, the sun comes up over the hills, and we'll start out with temperatures in the 40s at 8:00 and then take a look at the trend going into the rest of today. heading into the upper 60s and low 70s. it will turn mostly cloudy for the afternoon into the evening, as we get ready for this. more rain coming our way. we can see it still well to the north of us right now. it will start to move into the north bay around the evening community with some spotty light rain and then we'll start to see the heavier rain moving in around 10:00 to 11:00 for the north bay, approaching san francisco. notice a couple of these pockets
