happen but not entirely convinced musk is going to win the day. musk bullied bill gates online over the weekend using a crude term in a tweet and making fun of the 66-year-old's body. gates has given billions to charity to fight malaria, find a cure for alzheimer's, and deliver clean water to africa. wall street reacted just as we said it would, after the head of the fed jay powell indicated upcoming interest rate hikes would be bigger than past rates. the fed's trying to fight inflation. the dow on friday falling nearly a thousand points. barring an emergency rate hike, we should see the next increase in may. marcus and laura, look at this. you probably know drones have the technology to follow you, so you can go stand-up paddleboarding or mountain biking and launch a drone and it will lock onto you and follow you around. if you can follow stand-up

paddleboards, you can probably follow russian tanks. a redwood city company called skydyo sells drones like this one. real estate use this for selling or cool videos of snowboarders and now it's sending them to ukraine. >> i'm in our manufacturing facility in redwood today. today we're shipping dozens more out to ukraine. >> that is the ceo. his company is the biggest manufacturer of american-made drones and remember, that's going to be important to the ukrainians that they're american, because they aren't relying on chinese-made drones. china made it clear they're not supporting ukraine. skydyo is sending heavy drones a power company to inspect lines or this one, you might see a snowboarder or dirtbiker might . tut in their backpack and posting videos on youtube. >> consumers of drone technology has outpaced traditional defense systems and we're seeing that really come to reality on the ground in ukraine, where these

kind of drones with consumer civilian heritage turned out to be useful. we have an assembly line behind me where we're building the drones and we're building the controllers, and we're the largest u.s. company in this space, operating at pretty significant scale and doing everything we can to increase our capacity in manufacturing to get more drones to the folks that need them in ukraine right now. >> we know war pushes technology forward. you look at the drones u.s. forces were using in afghanistan, they're not nearly as powerful and amazing in some cases what kids are using to do snowboarding. >> the technology. >> how far we've come. >> they're built to military specifyings, they won't break down in the bust but yes it's right, there are drones at walmart in some ways are more powerful technologically. >> isn't that amazing? >> incredible. >> home-grown right here. >> no kidding. thanks so much. it is 6:17 right now. the latest powerball jackpot

five-bedroom four-bathroom house and still sold for $800,000 after multiple offers. >> that's weird. >> was that a surprise to the person? was it in the ad? >> i would hope so. >> i would hope so, too. >> maybe it came with, she will also help you around the house if you need it? >> maybe. i don't know. that's strange, isn't it? right, exactly? the movie "the woman in the basement." >> on lifetime. [ laughter ] >> to be continued. all right, let's get you started with a look at our forecast for today, as we're starting out on this monday, a little bit of a chilly start, but then it's going to warm up nicely as we head out the door in fremont, heading to work, temperatures in the upper 40s and we're seeing a few clouds here and there, but notice the icons there, as we go into late morning. it turns all sunny and we continue to warm up, too. 73 degrees there. 75 in dublin and in napa 75

degrees. san francisco will reach into the mid-60s. also a see a high of 66 in san mateo, los gatos today reaching 77. notice there will be a little bit cooler tomorrow. we start out with some clouds, a dry cold front moving through and it's going to kick up high winds and we'll see temperatures come down a couple of degrees in some spots but still pretty comfortable with some low 70s for morgan hill, and by wednesday, we're looking at a high of about 77 degrees in fairfield. this is a cold front that's going to be coming through, so we can see it, the long line of clouds, even a little bit of rain. unfortunately that rain doesn't make it here to the bay area. we're just going to stay dry all week long, a couple of cold fronts sweeping through but the rain staying farther off towards the pacific northwest. you can see how much of an active weather pattern there is but it's not going to make it here into the bay area. our temperatures going up and down as palo alto will see highs in the low 70s today, but then

low 60s for the end of the week and we're back into the 70s for the weekend into early next week. overall our inland seven-day forecast shows that we're warm today, cooling down the next couple of days with high winds, and a mix of sun and clouds and the weekend is looking nice with some upper 70s. very much like the weekend we just had and it's going to be windy in san francisco, especially tomorrow, and continuing into thursday. mike, you're still seeing those traffic problems coming out of the north bay? >> kari, this is still an issue coming across the benicia bridge and it ripples over affecting the carquinez bridge as well, because folks jamming up hearing about the backup coming off the cor delia junction toward southbound 680, eastbound 780, both jamming up because the problem again is on the span, two lanes are blocked, two lanes are open, that's a slow drive out of the north bay. so the carquinez bridge if you take 780 over there, or just choose that route down westbound 80, you still slow down because more volume of traffic coming down in toward that portion of the bay. now there's an alternate for you

to avoid that carquinez bridge, the benicia bridge and the carquinez bridge but that adds along the drive for 780 and still takes you with the need to come back over on highway 4 if that is your chosen route. the rest of the bay, the bay bridge, highway 4, highway 37 moving smoothly. there's the backup coming out of oakland. back to you. >> thanks, mike. >> 6:32 this morning. a game day legal battle now playing out in the nation's highest court. up next, one football coach believes he lost his job over leading a prayer. the question justices are now tackling that may redefine the separation of church and state. and when "today in the bay's" mike inouye is not tracking that morning commute for you, oftentimes he's helping to honor the bay area's aapi community. this is the video as he emceed the this week and's nikei matsui festival in san jose. follow mike on facebook, twitter and instagram, and of course every morning right here on "today in the bay." we'll be right back.

happening today, the u.s. supreme court will hear a case that could redefine separation of church and state. it centers around the high school football coach in washington state who would hold post game prayer circles on the field. the school fired him and he believes the school violated his religious freedom. the school says it was trying to avoid endorsing a religious point of view. supporters argue students may have felt compelled to join.

eventually the coach left, following a poor performance evaluation, then he filed suit. lower courts ruled for the district citing past supreme court rulings. 6:25 right now. the faa now investigating a risky midair plane stunt that did not go as planned last night. really crazy. >> really is. fortunately no one was injured. take a look at what may have happened here. the much hyped stunt involved a midair swap of airplanes by a pair of sky diving experts over phoenix, arizona. one pilot managed to regain control of the other's plane. the other pilot could not do so. that plane plunged into the earth with the pilot parachuting to the ground. there are unanswered questions what went wrong and whether that stunt was properly permitted. you can learn more this morning on the "today" show. we'll have the full story following "today in the bay," at 7:00 this morning. >> lucky no one was injured by the falling plane.

to get infected if i can help it. doesn't mean i don't engage with life enthusiastically. i'm not walling myself at home, trying to protect himself. but when i do go out, i try to reduce my risk. >> reporter: dr. chin-hong points out that even mild symptoms can cost you to miss five to ten days of work and school and lead to chronic symptoms. and some vaccinated and boosted people are still getting it. covid accounts for more than 13% of all people who died last year in the united states. reporting live here in pleasanton, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> really interesting numbers there. thank you, bob. despite the rising number of cases, oakland public schools are moving forward without masks. starting today, the mandate is changing to a strong recommendation, but if a student or staff member tests positive, the district will require masks to be worn inside again. oakland unified was the largest district to keep its mask policy even after the state changed its rules. authorities on the peninsula are trying to determine if the same person is behind two

of anti-semitic flyers dropped on doorsteps. it happened overnight yesterday. similar cases have recently been reported in bay area cities including san francisco, palo alto and berkeley. danville police issued a statement saying in part, "we will not condone or tolerate violence, intimidation or hate in any form. we are committed to making danville a safe place for all where we celebrate diversity, dignity, and equality for all members of our community." 6:38. now to our climate in crisis. the east bay's largest water supplier is asking customers to cut back or face potential fines. east bay mud is asking to use 10% less water than last year. so tomorrow the agency will consider adding a surcharge to everyone's bill and new penalties for customers who do not cut back on that water use. the neighboring contra costa county water district is asking customers to cut back even more, by 15%. it is holding a public hearing in june. >> it's 6:38 on your monday

[ chanting ] >> those who support a united nato breathed a sigh of relief

sunday as the results of the french election came in. emmanuel macron won re-election, the first french president to win re-election in 20 years. his opponent, right-wing politician marine le pen has been unapologetically pro putin in the past. and said if elected she'd take france out of nato's unified command. macron won but not by a landslide. he's going to term out five years from now. le pen has been the opposition candidate in several presidential elections now, probably will be again in 2027. the u.n. secretary-general will travel to moscow to meet with putin. he calls it a mission for peace, but the ukrainian government is uneasy about the whole thing. we'll be talking about it on facebook, find me @scottmcgrewtv. >> thanks so much, scott. it is 6:47 right now. local mayors are headed to sacramento for people struggling to make it in the bay.

so here's the front right now. you can see some rain across the pacific northwest that we're going to miss out on. as we go throughout the week we'll see more systems like this with the rain up around oregon and washington, but it doesn't quite make it into california. and so we're going to see this weather pattern continue into next week. it was nice to get that snow last week, right now the statewide sierra noh pack is only at about 35% of normal. the worst of it is in the southern sierra, the best around the central part of lake tahoe. unfortunately once again that's much lower than what we should be measuring for this time. then as we take a look at our temperatures for livermore, we're feeling some warm weather and then cooling down for the middle to end of the week and take a look at the trend toward the end of the weekend into the next week. as the dry weather continues temperatures are warming up. we look at the seven-day forecast it's feeling like

summer today, and then cooling back to spring for the rest of the week and the weekend is going to jump up a couple more degrees but you'll really notice those gusty winds in san francisco. we'll see that kicking up tomorrow, conditioning through thursday, as the cold front comes through, it brings our temperatures down a couple of degrees there. mike, you're still tracking changes coming out of the north bay? >> it's good news for some folks but it's shifting around, kari. southbound 680 we're seeing things loosen up across the benicia bridge. all lanes cleared a few minutes ago. 780 is starting to build up a little more, until that ripples back for the recovery there, and the 680 still has quite a distance for that recovery to happen as well. now we also have the build that's continuing toward the carquinez bridge. not everybody's heard my reports saying the benicia bridge is clear. that's building more through vallejo, closer to the carquinez bridge things are starting to move which builds up the east shore freeway. everything is connected, ripples around so the commute having the

impact toward the bay bridge and the richmond bridge as folks build in the typical westbound commutes held up later. the rest of the bay shows a smoother drive, the buildup through hayward and fremont for 880 and san jose to the 101. antioch leaders delaying new restrictions for flavored cigarettes, ecigarettes and the little cigars. last month the council voted to ban selling flavored tobacco because of the health effects on young people. retailers are asking for a grace period to sell the balance of their stock. city council they can also vote on educating the community about the ordinance ahead of enforcing it. a vote is set for tomorrow. next a quick look at the top stories this morning, set to strike, the new ultimatum that may stop teachers in the east bay from walking off the job this week. and once again, a driver was shot on a bay area roadway. i'll tell you where you might want to check your security cameras. and make sure you join us right here on facebook live right now, we're talking about
