apple tv, and online. >> we're going to check in with the commute in just a bit. first, want to take a look at that forecast. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking that rain heading into the area. >> you can see it's nice and clear to start out our morning, but we do have a storm system that will beo the evening, and that's going to bring us wet weather that will linger for a while. for the north bay, the rain moves in around 5:00 to 6:00. scattered showers that will spread across the bay area and get heavier as we go into tonight, and we are going to see the rain continue throughout the day tomorrow, pretty much a soggy day, even a chance of thunderstorms as the sierra gets some heavy snow. and we'll see this gradually tapering off on friday. so big changes ahead before we hit the weekend, and we'll talk about that weekend forecast coming up. mike, you're seeing changes in the east bay. >> that's right, changes in the east bay are the most pronounced. the south bay holding steady. i wanted to let folks know the earlier slowdown focusing in san

jose has simmered down. peninsula not a problem. the east bay does have some changes. vasco road has seen another five more minutes for your travel time coming out of brentwood and close to a half hour down toward 580. there is a crash near the altamont, but counter to the commute. it may be a distraction, but it hasn't been presenting much delay. once you get past that, through livermore and toward the dublin interchange, a smooth drive. the build starts in concord for highway 4 and 37 out of vallejo, and the bay bridge toll plaza, the metering lights were turned on a few minutes ago. the backup is forming on the oakland side. back to you. >> thanks, mike. we do have some breaking news to tell you about this morning. a shooting investigation is under way at the peruvian embassy in washington, d.c. now, this is all according to a report at our nbc affiliate in

d.c. we're working to learn more information about the shooting, but at this time those details are really unclear and we want to get you the most accurate information. you'll see from the anchor there at nbc11 in d.c., the area we can tell you right now is shut down. police and first responders have arrived to that area. we do know the secret service also arriving to investigate. as soon as we get more information for you, we're going to bring you those updates not only here on "today in the bay," but also online. also breaking this morning, another blow for wikileaks founder julian assange. a judge is approving his extradition to the u.s. to face supplying charges. that means the case will go to brittain's interior minister for a final sdig. the wikileaks founder has legal avenues for appeal still, though. assange has fought for years to avoid a trial in the u.s. on charges related to wikileaks' publication of a huge collection of classified documents more than a decade ago.

and another top story this morning, the district attorney says the suspect in this video here is the same one who set a massive fire at the home depot store in the south bay, and that he lit that fire in order to steal tools. this is exclusive surveillance video of an alleged crime spree before the home depot store. investigators say 27-year-old dyllin gogue is responsible for that five-alarm five from april 9th. he is charged with aggravated arson. as you can see, the area where that home depot was still cordoned off this morning because the fire destroyed the building and $17 million in inventory. there's not much left as you can see in the live picture. the surveillance video shows him allegedly stealing a pricey wig from new star beauty supply at san jose's east ridge mall on march 27th. investigators say he also stole

from three other major retail chains this year and the district attorney says he started that fire allegedly while trying to get away with a cart full of tools. >> he was stopped by a home depot employee and fled in another person's car. later, as the home depot was burning, he continued a theft spree that extended to a macy's in the east bay. >> investigators did not elaborate on the get-away driver, but they say gogue was solely responsible for the home depot fire. in just a few hours, the trial of sunny balwani continues. the jury learned about his involvement with walgreens. now, a former walgreens executive testified yesterday that balwani was very involved in the relationship between the companies. but the blood testing machines gave wrong results and largely used third-party equipment. in text messages, he told ceo

elizabeth holmes that he didn't tell walgreens that he switched out their own machines for non-theranos tech. balwani is accused of defrauding both investors and patients. ukraine is now reaching a preliminary agreement with russia to evacuate thousands of civilians from mariupol. the establishment of the humanitarian corridor will allow women, children and older people to leave today. this comes after nearly 300 people were killed when a theatre was destroyed during relentless bombardment of the city last month. this morning ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says these attacks in the besieged city were extremely severe, and he is also urging weapons supplies from allies. this comes as hundreds remain holed up in a steel plant as russia demands its surrender. this agreement comes as russian troops are pouring into eastern ukraine, as russian president vladimir putin presses forward. the u.s. now preparing to send in more artillery and tens of

thousands of more batches of ammunition to help ukrainian forces defend themselves. nbc's brie jackson is live in washington with the latest. this is a pretty substantial new military aid package that could be coming to ukraine soon. >> reporter: that's right. good morning, kris. administration officials say the new military aid package would be similar to the $800 million package they announced last week. it would also be critical to ukraine's fight in the region. russian soldiers are flooding into eastern ukraine, setting up for a full-scale assault. in response to russia's new wave of attacks, president biden is pledging even more military aid for ukraine. >> will you be sending more artillery to ukraine? >> yes. >> reporter: the pentagon says it's working to get a sense of

what to include in a new package, but said it would cater toward defending the donbas region. >> they're going to be tailored based on the ukrainians needs, what they most require. >> reporter: the u.n. secretary general is calling for a four-day cease-fire this week to allow civilian evacuations and for humanitarian aid to reach hard-hit areas like mariupol. >> the intense concentration of forces and fire power makes this inevitably more violent, bloody and destructive. >> reporter: u.s. officials warn this new phase of attacks may only be a prelude for a larger offensive putin has planned. >> he's made it clear as day, and no words are going to stop his tanks at this moment. >> reporter: the u.s. vows to send weapons to meet ukraine's immediate and long-term needs as the country braces for what's next. and u.s. officials say they are working to convince allies to send more ammunition and more

artillery to ukraine. kris? >> and i'm sure volodymyr zelenskyy will say it can't come soon enough. thank you. now to our climate in crisis, marin county leaders are taking a first step to approve a new plan to go green that has to do with your takeout order. all plastic utensils and other takeout foodware that is not reusable or compostable will be banned. county staff estimates the switch would reduce the county's plastic use by some 100 million each year. the first vote was approved yesterday, but it still needs to pass a second vote in may. and don't forget, this friday is earth day. all this week on the "today" show and right here on "today in the bay," we're focusing on our climate in crisis and ways that we can help our planet. find out more information by going to nbcbayarea.com. it's time to get a look at that forecast. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking some rain into our area, but not here just yet. nice and cool to start out the day. >> nice and cool. we can see some clouds rolling

over san francisco right now. and also a lot of people will be gathering at golden gate park for the 4/20 festival. that going on later this afternoon. so we'll start to see some more clouds moving in by 4:00. at 4:20 we'll be watching the sky for a chance of rain, and then later this evening we may see showers continue to pick up. we'll first see rain in the north bay, but for napa it doesn't get there until about 4:00. we start out with temperatures in the low 50s, reach the low 60s today, and you'll need that umbrella if you'll be out later tonight. i'll be watching this as well as we go into tomorrow. mike, you're tracking some cheaper gas prices. >> getting a sampling. this time we start in walnut creek, $5.49 at the quick serve on south california boulevard. in gilroy it's $5.47 at mobil on monterey road. and redwood city, $5.59 at

speedway express on el camino real. let's get you a look at where you're using more gas, at the toll plaza because the metering lights have been on for a few minutes and the backup filling in the toll plaza, about 20 minutes after they were initially turned on. the build for 37, more gradual than yesterday, and same thing for highway 4. there may be a crash here on 242. i'm getting more details from chp. we'll let you know as things develop. so far, no surprises anywhere south of contra costa county. back to you. all right, so let's talk about it. taking air this summer, well, next here on "today in the bay," a new warning from flight experts about the cost of that summer travel. >> i bet it's not going down. plus, netflix doing the right thing and it's going to cost them. we'll talk about that. let's take you out to the futures and see how things are looking. looks okay even on the nasdaq as netflix is going to pull that index lower.

plus -- ♪ ♪ >> one of the most popular artists in the world honored not with one, but two wax figures. some say they're spot on. we're going to take a look and you can help us decide together. you're watching "today in the bay."

(music throughout)

as you're heading out for work in fremont, we have temperatures in the upper 40s. we are going to see sunshine today as we head for the upper 60s. later on is when the rain gets to the east bay, so you may make it throughout the whole day without having to worry about any of those showers. it's going to hit the north bay first and we'll talk about the timeline and how much to expect coming up in a few minutes. >> and a live look at san jose, much calmer. we've settled into the morning pattern for silicon valley. north through san jose, 101 did bog down for a few minutes. it looks like we're sorting ourselves out here. we'll see the rest of your commute coming up. good morning, happy wednesday. a lot of companies here in the bay area and around the nation will start opening their books to investors and reporters, as part of their quarterly reports. tesla is on the on deck circle this morning. it will report profits after the closing bell today. two things to watch for. first, how badly the factory

shutdown in shanghai affected sales in china. it's ironic, he shut down the factory the moment chinese authorities told him to. in fremont he tried to keep the factory open and called the county leaders fascist for ordering the shutdown. the other thing to watch for is musk in general. he'll probably speak to analysts and reporters on the conference call about tesla. they will no doubt ask him about an update on twitter. we are going to be talking about elon musk again tomorrow. the overall value of netflix is expected to fall by a breathtaking $40 billion as the market opens this morning, with shares set to plunge 20%. the company lost subscribers for the first time in ten years. fewer people using netflix now than before. now, what's causing that? well, high prices aren't helping. netflix hiked rates again recently. password sharing is not helping. if you and a friend are on the same account, netflix is missing out on someone else's payment

and they're going to start cracking down on that. but the math shows the net loss of subscribers in because of this guy. netflix cut service off to russia, lost about 200,000 subscribers. that's enough to turn the subscription numbers negative. as i mentioned last week, we're going to see the effect of russia on all kinds of american businesses and it's worth remembering, as this company disappoints or that company shows slower shares, ultimately all of these companies are doing the right thing. they're on the right side of history. on a happy note, "stranger things" is coming back to netflix. it is back on may 27th. it's been a while since we've seen those guys. i know those high prices, i look at it and think, am i really getting that much use out of this. >> or this one show, is it worth that much money. >> that's the big question.

>> and sometimes it is. >> we talked about apple tv. it's like "ted lasso," when it's new is worth it. otherwise i think about maybe getting rid of it. >> one business model would be to sell ads. >> the founder of netflix hates that idea, he says this is about sitting down and relaxing. but they're coming around. i think you're going to see a lower-price tier on netflix much like hulu and peacock. it's gotten so expensive. then you do all these different services and it's $20, $20, $20, that's a lot. >> a lot of people went to that service to cut the cord, but then you're paying such as much. thanks, scott. now to a live look at sfo this morning. looking nice and clear. we're talking about airfare. prices are going up. experts are warning that summer travel is not going to be cheap. the average price of a domestic

airfare now is $330 per round trip ticket, according to flight booking site hopper. that is a 7% increase over the same period in 2019 and the highest average price since hopper started collecting data. pent-up travel demand, higher fuel prices, staffing shortages at major airlines, all contributing to the increases. >> more staycations. >> no, we've done that for two and a half years. trending this morning, it seems -- >> he's won a lot, spotify artist two years in a row and now he is being honored with two wax figures. we want to play a game with you. can you guess which one of these is the real bad bunny? take a look at the screen and look closely. >> i say the one on the right. >> that one? >> yeah. >>let get a closer look. >> not that one.

>> so if you guessed the one in the middle, right there, that is the real bad bunny. these are going to be displayed at madame tussaud's museum. that is cool to get that honor. >> that's one of my biggest fears is going to madame tussaud's and seeing the eyes move. >> so we should have a body double later today as the rain starts falling down. >> it's going to be rainy later today, at least for all of us early risers we may miss out on the rain before we're at home and settled in. then it starts to come down. take a look at the storm system that's headed our way. and it's going to hang out for a while and bring us significant rain. because of that rain, the oakland a's moving up their time for first pitch to 3:07. so take a look at the timeline and what we're expecting here. 64 degrees at 3:00, you can see there will be partly cloudy skies and pretty windy out there as well. as we go through the game, the

clouds start to move in. by 6:00 to 6:30, we see the rain starting to fall there. so looking at our high temperatures in oakland reaching 66 degrees, 64 in san francisco, we'll have some low 60s in the north bay. and for the south bay expect temperatures up to about 69 degrees. this is a pretty widespread system and it's going to be with us through at least friday morning. in the meantime, we could see brief heavy downpours, possibly thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and significant sierra snow. once that passes, it looks like the storm track heads back farther to the north. unfortunately, i don't see any more chances of rain here, at least for the next week, as we see a lot of that rain staying away from the bay area. but in the meantime, it does look like with this storm, by itself, we could see anywhere from 1/2 inch to 3/4 of an inch and possibly closer to 2 inches in some spots. that will be great to see. and also for the sierra, more snow coming that way, which is

definitely needed as right now we're only about 30% of the normal amount of snow that we have for this date. but we do see the possibility of maybe going up another percent or two as we get anywhere from 10 to maybe 23 inches of snow over the next couple of days. big heads-up if you're going to be traveling. we see it clearing out on friday and we're making way for a beautiful weekend, saturday reaching 73 degrees and wrming up to 79 on sunday. dry weather into next week. >> you have a sigalert in the north bay? >> it's closed right now because of a crash that's not on a major freeway, but over in the area. we're just continuing to track that up in santa rosa. highway 101, 116 are all open, but we're watching laguna road. the rest of your commute, the main commute is moving smoothly. a little build for 37 out of vallejo. highway 4 continues to feed in

out of pittsburg, slowing through bay point. the crash on 242 has cleared but still slow heading toward walnut creek. typical pattern through that area. and the backup at the bay bridge. no other surprises. south bay seeing a build off 101. back to you. >> thanks, mike. florida is taking its fight with disney to a whole new level and we'll see you the move that the florida governor wants to make against the most magical place on earth. we'll be right back.

this is elodia. she's a recording artist. 1 of 10 million people that comcast has connected to affordable internet in the last 10 years. and this is emmanuel, a future recording artist, and one of the millions of students we're connecting throughout the next 10. through projectup, comcast is committing $1 billion so millions more students, past... and present, can continue to get the tools they need to build a future of unlimited possibilities.

6:24 this morning, and

developing now, the battle between florida's governor and disney world continues today. so a special legislative session on redistricting is the theme that gets under way today. >> this is all really kind of confusing, so the issue is whether disney can continue to govern itself as its done for decades. nbc's kerry sanders has more on why critics say the proposed termination of the policy is all a source of political payback. >> reporter: this on the surface appears like florida governor ron desantis, a republican, is trying to level the playing field. why should a private company, even the largest single-site employer in the state, disney world, have its own self-government? shouldn't they be like everybody else? critics say this is really about political payback because disney so publicly opposed what the critics call florida's don't say gay law. so it is highly possible in the coming days that something that was established in 1967, it's

the self-governance that disney has for 40 square miles, it's very possible they may lose that. and with that, a lot of benefits that that authority gives them, guys. >> thanks, kerry. there's always disney land. >> right here in california. 6:26, next, the top stories we're following, including a massive fire in arizona prompting evacuations. the all-new firefighting video next. >> reporter: plus, the 4/20 celebration here inside of golden gate park is back after taking time off because of the pandemic. coming up, what you need to know if you're joining the festivities. >> and more rain is expected to arrive here in the bay area today. meteorologist kari hall is tracking down the timeline. but first let's check in with our digital correspondent, abby fernandez, and the headlines she's tracking. >> on our latest episode of synced in, we're talking about outside lands, they just put out

system as it approaches. let's go through the timeline hour-by-hour. at 2:30 we're seeing some of the heavier rain moving through parts of the sonoma coast and covering the north bay with light showers. off and on rain throughout the evening. most of us won't see it until after sunset. we'll see it spreading into the overnight hours and continuing off and on tomorrow, even a chance of thunderstorms. we'll talk more about how much rain we could see in a few minutes. >> thanks so much, kari. and breaking news this morning, coming out of washington, d.c. we are just getting new information about a shooting investigation at the peruvian embassy. we just learned that secret service officers shot an intruder this morning. this is all according to a reporter at our nbc affiliate in d.c. we're also learning no officers were injured in that shooting. nbc news is still working to learn more about what unfolded. we'll keep bringing you updates as we get them both on air, as

well as online. the results are now in for that special election for the state assembly seat. this is district 17 for san francisco. it has been an exciting race between supervisor matt haney and former city supervisor david campos, and this morning haney is declaring victory, campos is conceding. the latest count shows haney leads with 63%, campos got 36% of the vote. last night haney held a victory party in the city and one of the main topics throughout the campaign was building more affordable housing. mayor breed endorsed haney and she will now choose his replacement for the board of supervisors. campos was endorsed by district attorney chesa boudin and his chief of staff. chesa boudin recall election is set for june 7th. 6:32, and an annual favorite in san francisco is back. for years hippie hill and golden gate park has been the meeting spot for cannabis enthusiasts, and today those festivities continue, but there are some new

rules to tell you about. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson live out there at golden gate park with details. it looks nice and calm, but i'm sure it's going to be clouded with excitement later on today. >> reporter: yes, it will be clouded with excitement and a lot of celebratory cannabis here. it's an unofficial holiday for a lot of folks. 4/20 is a big day for folks here at hippie hill, especially given the celebration. the sun has come up so you can see that things are really taking shape. behind me you see a lot of vendor tents. that's something new this year. a lot of sponsors, a lot of vendor tents, and you can see the stage also set for the big celebration. now, there are some things you need to keep in mind, though. we're being told, we said noon to 5:00, and we're being told the gates actually open at 10:00. this is coming directly from an organizers. officials expecting as many as 20,000 people. now, we did hear from mayor london breed earlier this week

and she said that they are enforcing that 21 and up age restriction for the first time, and attendees will also be required to show an i.d., as well as a vaccination card for access to this enclosed portion of this park. now, city officials also recommended that attendees take public transportation, they ride, walk or scoot their way to this event because parking is extremely limited, and there are several road closures, many of which are already beginning to take shape. now, take a listen to mayor london breed as she discusses safety at this annual event. >> well, we have had some challenges with 4/20 as it relates to community and public safety in the past, and so with any large-scale event, making sure that the right resources are available to ensure safety. >> reporter: and the countdown is officially on. we're seeing a lot of vendors bringing in a lot of goodies to this park. again, the lights are on and the

vending tents are starting to take shape. so it is definitely set to be a great event. we were kind of chitchatting with one of the organizers who said safety is a huge concern. they're going to have medical personnel here on site to make sure everything is done in a correct manner. and a lot of the products here, all of the products here being sold by the vendors tested and they have passed that protocol. so hoping to have a safe event here on 4/20 at golden gate park. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> i'm glad to see safety measures have been put in place. of course, the excitement will be high there today. thank you. as many of us know, san francisco is no stranger to cannabis. it was part of the city's summer of love and so many other historical events. the history of marijuana is on display at the san francisco public library. it is one of several events planned during the city's first annual evergreen san francisco week, which is sponsored by the chamber of commerce and ten other agencies.

we spoke with author volz, whose family owned one of the first companies making edible marijuana products in san francisco. >> moving through the aids crisis and then into the dawn of medical cannabis, so right now at the san francisco public library there's a display of the original hand drawn packaging that my parents, who are both artists, created every week to distribute brownies by the dozen. >> volz will be signing copies of her book titled "home baked, my mom, marijuana and the stoning of san francisco". that's at the fisherman's nbcba. 6:36, and there is new video to show you of the the so-called tunnel fire is forcing thousands of evacuations

at this hour. now, this is happening near flagstaff. some 6,000 acres, nearly 2,500 structures have already burned. yesterday fema's regional administrator authorized the use of funds to assist them in fighting that fire. now to our climate in crisis, as california struggles to combat drought levels, one city in the bay area is looking to go more green using infrastructure. cities like san francisco are trying to create green infrastructure so that instead of storm water going into gutters, and flowing into water treatment plans. this green infrastructure would absorb the storm water where it falls. they have a project they're calling a livvy levy which funnels storm water from streets and sidewalks into gardens. that project would help to stop flooding. >> you can have an engineered sea wall, which is just a flat face that provides a wall that

will protect, and the living levy element is really trying to adapt this to these more natural settings. >> now, the full story is up on nbc lx. you can watch it any time on lx.com. you can also watch on xfinity channel 185, or over the air on channel 11-5. and we're covering our climate in crisis all week long ahead of earth day. not just the issues, but also solutions so we can empower you. check out our latest stories any time in our climate in crisis web page on nbcbayarea.com. and, of course, there is a difference between climate and weather. and kari is tracking both of them. >> yeah, we're starting this morning with a look at our live view outside, weather. as we are starting out with clear conditions, but then clouds start to roll in later today, and it's a beautiful start to our wednesday morning, with temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s. we're getting ready for rain

that first starts in the north bay. as we take a look at our hour-by-hour forecast, at 8:00 it's mostly cloudy, 52 degrees. we only make it into the low 60s with some peeks of sunshine, and then at 4:00 we'll be popping open the umbrellas. at 6:00 the rain gets heavier and we'll see it continue throughout the day tomorrow. mike, what's the update on the sigalert for santa rosa? >> just off of 116, it's guerneville road at laguna, up in santa rosa. everything else through the north bay pretty standard. as we move down the map, no surprises for this morning's commute. very easy drive. predicting some slowing around the coliseum, a different time than you might expect. right here, oakland coliseum, the a's play at 3:07 today. that means starting at 1:00 p.m. they're going to open the parking lot and you'll see more traffic on the nimitz. but then getting out of the game as the rain comes in, that's why they moved the game time up.

you'll see postgame traffic on the nimitz, as well as rain coming in that could be an issue. we're predicting slowing through oakland. right now no other issues. back to you. >> thank you, mike. this morning prince harry is once again opening up. >> how did it feel being back? being with her? >> being with her, it was great. it was so nice to see her. >> her being the queen. next on "today in the bay," the sneak peek of his intimate conversation with hoda kotb and the "today" show. prince harry talking about a meeting with the queen and where he now calls home. >> washington ready to send hundreds of millions of dollars of more weapons to ukraine. let's take you out to the big board as well. the dow industrial is having a very good wednesday morning. plus -- ♪ i walk a lonely road, the only one i have ever known ♪

morning. as you're driving to work you may need the sunglasses. but if you'll be gone for a while you'll need the umbrella and windshield wipers later this evening. taking a live look outside in dublin, starting out in the upper 40s and it's going to be a really nice day, but we are getting ready for rain to come back later this evening. we'll talk about the timeline and how much rain you can expect coming up. >> this is 580 in richmond as you're heading toward san rafael. the backup on the approach, the span itself moving smoothly. chp is out there. i'll tell you where else we've spotted chp coming up. new this morning the white house is warning that it will need more money for the border patrol. >> this is as the u.s. looks to lift some border crossing restrictions, scott. >> we'll lift some of the past restrictions on people looking for sanctuary. that's expected june 23rd. remember, we had put temporary restrictions on immigrants during the pandemic, forcing them to remain in mexico while

they awaited their court hearing for health reasons. next month we're scheduled to go back to the regular system. the white house worrying that will mean far more refugees. so new this morning the white house is going to ask congress for more money for border security. speaking of money, the white house says it will try to fix the student loan system, starting with the income driven repayment system that lowered payments based on how much money the borrower made and forgave loans after roughly 20 years of payments. the governor lends the money but farms out the collection to private companies and they were not properly tracking those payments. so people were not getting credit for all those payments. you made 20 years of payment and the government didn't even know. the president will meet with top american military leaders to discuss the situation in ukraine. meanwhile, he'll announce $800 million more worth of weapons

and material be sent this week. it's tricky. you've got to send weapons that nato uses, but that ukrainians are already trained on. you can't send them american tanks. ukrainians haven't been trained on them. we can send them soviet designed armored personnel carriers like these. those were american soldiers, but you saw the red, blue and yellow symbol. those are from hungary. ukrainian president zelenskyy keeps asking for more. he says the west keeps asking what he needs. he said i need a moment to calm myself because i told them a week before, it's groundhog day. i feel like bill murray. we'll monitor everything that's happening in washington and of course in ukraine. we'll talk about it on social media. we like your questions, too. join me on twitter. i'm @scott scottmcgrew. the "today" show's hoda kotb is sitting down with southern california resident, prince harry, talking about the invictus games, his sports

competition for wounded veterans he founded back in 2014. in the interview, prince harry also opened up about his recent visit to the uk and he's saying the uk is not his home anymore. >> home for me now, for the time being, it's in the states and it feels that way as well. >> does it? >> we've been welcomed with open arms and we've got such a great community in santa barbara. >> you feel like that's home more for you? >> yeah. >> is that weird to say? >> no, but i'm sure it will become a thing. >> stick around because the interview is coming up shortly on the "today" show. you can watch that, including his conversation about his grandmother, the queen at 7:00, right after "today in the bay." trending this morning, a stellar lineup for this year's outside lands and tickets go on sale this morning for the festival at golden gate park. organizers are releasing the featured acts and the big names are green day, post malone and

sqa. other acts include jack harlow and many more. the 14th annual outside lands is august 5th through the 7th. also trending, it is 4:20 and wing stop is glazing up a special flavor in honor of the holidays. >> the limited edition flavor is called blazed and glazed. the wings are flavored with strawberry and cayenne pepper, as well as hemp seeds. the wings won't actually get you high. wings will be selling the new flavor at hippie hills today in san francisco. the flavor will also be available at most of their locations until friday. >> i don't have any of those spices in my spice rack. do you, kari? >> what are turpines? >> i don't know. >> maybe we have to try it to find out. >> if they're chicken wings, i'll probably try them.

>> it doesn't actually have the marijuana in it, so there you go. >> we were talking about what's going on at golden gate park and the big festival happening and there's some rain that's going to be moving our way. here's a look at the storm system with a large view of it across the region. it's going to take its time working through the bay area. it's going to start in the north bay for early in the afternoon. notice the green moving in. if you have the nbc bay area app, you can get alerts as the rain approaches your location. it may be a little heavier for parts of the sonoma coast, and then moving into the rest of the bay area shortly after sunset. we are seeing rain that will linger into tonight and throughout the day tomorrow. and at times we may even have some thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. so we're watching out for that. it starts to taper off on friday morning. once again, the 4/20 festival, it may be hard to stay lit out there with the rain coming down, and then once again, as we go

into the evening it's going to get heavier. so just watching out for that as temperatures reach into the mid-60s. we have upper 60s for the east bay and low 60s in the north bay where the rain gets started faster for today. we're also going to see quite a bit of sierra snow, and then on friday this is going to be tapering off. notice that after that, we do see some rain nearby, but a lot of it dries up or heads farther to the north before it even makes it to the bay area. so this may be our only chance, but at least with this storm it's looking fairly significant. we may see anywhere from a half inch of rain to closer to 2 inches of rain in some spots. it depends on where some of the heavier rain decides to fall. the sierra, we could see 2 feet of snow over the next few days. at least it will gradually start to clear out by friday evening into saturday for travel to the sierra. here we're looking at temperatures that will reach into the low 70s with sunshine

on saturday, really nice afterwards. but the temperatures spike quite a bit, going into next week. san francisco will see upper 50s once the rain gets going starting tomorrow. mike, you're featuring the chp at work. >> i was. then they just left right here. now, the deal is there was nothing on the chp report. it's a field initiated stop. there they are. they were helping somebody out in the center divide. they're at the split. they just cleared that and no slowing. this is 680 heading toward the split with 24. right here there is slowing because of the building commute. you did see how well the spacing was going and there's less traffic off of 242. things are starting to calm down a bit, as well as here in san francisco. a crash just off south 101 near the i-80 transition. the rest of your commute is standard. back to you. >> thank you, mike. happening now, thousands of nurses across sutter health care are locked out of their jobs. i took you there live on monday

when they had a one-day strike across their northern california facilities. sutter says, though, this is because they guaranteed five days of work to replacement nurses who stepped in during the demonstration. the company says the step was necessary in order to secure enough stuff amid widespread worker shortage. it says nurses who participated in the strike may be reinstated sooner than five days based on operational and patient care needs. >> next, a look at the top stories. the breaking news out of washington, d.c. and live pictures from the scene just coming in right now of the shooting at the embassy. brand new revelations we are learning about secret service's involvement here. plus, san francisco getting ready for the return of 4/20 and i'm not talking about today's date. we are live with the big changes that you can expect at the festival. stick around. much more ahead here on "today in the bay."

welcome back. here's a look at the top stories on "today in the bay." >> first we want to get to breaking news, another blow for wikileaks founder julian assange. the judge has approved his extradition to the u.s. to face spying charges. that decision means that the case will now go to brittain's interior minister for a final decision. wikileaks founder still has
