for many folks this means an outright ban. they will not be able to access an abortion if desired and forced to carry a pregnancy against their will. >> breaking now at 5:00 an unprecedented release of documents by the news group politico suggesting that the supreme court may overturn roe versus wade this summer. a live report from washington with the response across america and right outside the supreme court building. we'll examine that potential impact. plus, a story you will only see here on nbc bay area, a police officer on leave accused of being drunk on the job. this is while responding to last week's baby kidnapping in san jose. the exclusive details from our sources. this is "today in the bay." good tuesday morning and thanks for allowing us to be a part of

your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm kris sanchez in for laura. we want to show you what the stars wore at last night's met gala. tune in, watch us on roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and online. first let's get a look at the forecast for you this morning. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect. another windy one for us today? >> it will be pretty breezy out there, temperatures also warming up, and in some spots it will be about ten degrees warmer than yesterday but tomorrow the hottest day of the week. by thursday, we will start to cool back down once again, a lot of changes coming our way but right now temperatures mostly in the upper 40s and low 50s as you head out the door and go from wearing a jacket to short sleeves and maybe even shorts today as martinez reaches 82 degrees. 71 in san francisco, and 78 degrees in san jose. we'll talk about how hot it gets tomorrow, that's coming up in the forecast in a few minutes. kris and march can you see? >> marcus?

the potential end to the landmark roe versus wade decision legalizing abortion. politico obtained a leaked draft opinion from the u.s. supreme court. the document suggests at least five justices plan to strike down the 1973 ruling following oral arguments made during a mississippi abortion case. a live look outside the supreme court, "today in the bay's" brie jackson is live in washington following those overnight developments. good morning, brie. >> good morning, kris. nbc news has not confirmed the draft opinion but the document would constitute an unprecedented leak and it could possibly change in the coming months. the leaked draft opinion released by politico indicates the supreme court is poised to overturn roe v. wade, the document reportedly authored by justice samuel alito says the inescapable conclusion is the right to abortion is not

deeply rooted in the nation's history and traditions. while it is not the final word from justices, it is raising concerns. >> as of today, it remains our constitutional right, but we also have to be clear that it is hanging on by a literal thread and what this leaked draft means is that our deepest fears are coming true. >> reporter: susan b. anthony, an advocacy group that supports ending abortion, released a statement saying, "the american people have the right to act through their elected officials to debate and enact laws that protect unborn children and honor women." overturning the landmark decision would allow states to outright ban abortions. protesters from both sides are gathering outside the supreme court. >> this is something that affects me so personally and hurts so much to know it might be ripped away from me. >> the unborn are humans and we've been killing them en masse to the tune of millions. >> reporter: both democrats and republicans criticize the leak. >> this is very, very serious,

it is an unprecedented breach of the court's confidentiality and plainly meant to corrupt the process within the court. >> reporter: a spokesperson says the court has no comment. it's important to note that this is just a draft opinion that the supreme court is expected to issue its final ruling by late june or early july. kris? >> all right, well, we know it's going to be a busy day following this today. thank you so much, brie. you can find some of the developments out of the nation's capital and we have team coverage continuing in our next half hour and our website a great resource for an in-depth look at what would happen here in the bay area, should roe versus wade be overturned. this is currently the top story at nbcbayarea.com. >> 5:04 for you this morning. this is a story you'll only see on nbc bay area. a san jose police officer accused of being drunk while on duty. sources are telling us an fbi

agent reported the officer appeared to be impaired when he responded to last week's kidnapping of baby brandon. iner is on hee ginger conajero saab, do we know what they're expected to say? >> reporter: a little bit. police chief tony maata and mayor sam liccardo will be expected to call for more alcohol and drug testing for officers and included in current negotiations with the police officers association. right now, contracts for officers are expected to expire in june. this announcement of the news conference comes after a story that broke on nbc bay area late last night of a san jose cop accused of being under the influence while responding to the kidnapping of a san jose baby boy last week. a breathalyzer test showed a blood alcohol level of 0.139,

nearly twice the legal limit. the cop was one of many who responded to the scene after a 3-month-old baby, brandon cuellar, was taken from inside his home last monday. the baby was found safe the next day and sources tell us the accused officer had been on duty for several hours. sjpd is investigating this case as well as the district attorney's office. >> there are strict rules about being impaired or under the influence while you're on duty because there's a lot of liability that can go with that and it's very dangerous for other officers if you make a critical mistake. >> reporter: the mayor and the chief are also proposing more resources for officers including mental health resources and substance abuse. the news conference is expected at 11:30 this morning. we'll have updates on our nbc bay area app as well as tonight at 5:00. marcus? >> that will be interesting to see what they reveal at that press conference. ginger, thank you.

5:06 right now. this is national small business week and we're moving you forward as many of us are still working to recover from the pandemic. >> "today in the bay's" laura garcia joins us with a look at how one san francisco company is relying on digital tools to bounce back. good morning, laura. >> good morning, guys. nice to see both of you, kris and marcus. we're talking about the resilience of entrepreneurs, had to be so creative during this pandemic. in fact really during the last couple of years, just to survive and we talked to the ceo of a bay area-based company fal red mai, the afm games and his team had to get creative especially since the company was founded only two years before the pandemic started. the online-based company sell cards, games and said thanks for to the increase of many staying home the company started growing

during the pandemic. they used ad space on amazon and facebook to bring in customers but then they ran into another problem. >> supply chain issues. that was one of the worst things we had to go through last christmas when we ran out of inventory and all of our inventory was stuck on a boat literally right off the coast of l.a. i could see the boat but i couldn't get it in. >> that was a frustration for a lot of companies. mai says afm games is starting to work through those supply chain issues, however, not all have had the same opportunities to bounce back. a new federal reserve small business credit survey shows 77% of small businesses are still dealing with lingering negative effects from the pandemic. revenues and decreased employment and hiring issues are key recovery issues. so they're just trying to make it especially making it here in the bay, you guys. >> that's tough.

>> yes, so is there any other aid out there for small business owners in particular? >> yes, you know what? there still is some grants that are available online. some of them are small but they could take a little bit of a dent, something like licenses for bars and restaurants, california state can waive some of the fees and the same thing for barbers and hairstylists. every amount matters. government loans, there's debt relief still for those who previously applied for some of those sba loans, they were so popular during the pandemic. they really helped some businesses stay float and you know, for everybody, there could be a cash rebate of $200 coming extended into the next decade possibly that lawmakers are looking at there. as i mentioned, every little bit helps, in san francisco, for example, the office of economic and workforce development, they announced some really unique grant programs that they have for small businesses to work with architects and engineers to

see what they could do to kind of spruce up their storefronts, for example, something that takes money but it can make a big difference and turning eyes to the businesses. so hopefully that will help. i'm going to post some of these links online on my twitter page, laura garcia nbc and also on facebook this morning. so small business owners can check it out and maybe get some money in their pockets to help move the economy along, keep everything moving forward. >> every little bit helps. >> you don't get what you don't ask for. hopefully folks will ask for it. thank you, laura. >> thanks. here we go at 5:10, taking a live look at san jose downtown, looking shining nice and bright, stars in the sky. almost like a picture. meteorologist kari hall, beautiful picture there. what we can't see is some of the winds. >> that's venus and jupiter there. >> was it? >> ooh! >> kind of alined out there and really bright. a lot of people are going to be enjoying the sunshine, maybe headed to the beach today.

half moon bay it will start out at 8:00 about 51 degrees but then we see our highs reaching into the low 60s there. much cooler compared to what we are going to have for the inland areas, where we're going to see the temperatures up to about 83 in concord and 81 in santa rosa. we'll talk about even hotter temperatures ahead. mike, looks like it's improving in san jose. >> better, there's no more flooding, the flooded connector ramp has been cleared. they got rid of the water, the pump may be working now. taking you up to the city as well, sand barrel busted across the roadway is clear but 280 come up into the area around geneva a disabled vehicle should be clearing to the shoulder. in the north bay i'm atherton the outage in the area cleared from pg&e's report but still a crash on atherton, we'll talk about that coming up. >> thanks. we are celebrating aapi

month all month long on "today in the bay." >> stand up for people who they see being marginalized or victimized, being recipients of violence. >> ahead, we lift the voice of one local health expert who has been essential to the entire bay area community. doesn't seem possible that houses could get less affordable but yeah, they are. also, fashion takes center stage, the looks served last night at the met gala and some of which may live on forever. ahead for you, we're going to show you some of the hits and misses from fashion season night.

good tuesday morning. it is 5:14. in dublin it is 47 degrees now but look at the trend for today. we go from 47 to 71 at lunch time and it gets even warmer there for the afternoon, temperatures are cranking up. we'll talk about the peak of the heat and look ahead to the weekend coming up. oh, man, so many cars coming through a few seconds ago and now a couple of cars. you get to focus on these four vehicles traveling from richmond -- oh, three, my goodness, i have to recount the cars. we'll show you how things are picking up. good morning everyone. happy tuesday. lawmakers are talking about legislating a four-day work week so thursday would be the new friday. they shelved the idea for another time. the bill did not get past the

labor and employment committee. the idea would have required companies with more than 500 workers to pay overtime after 32 hours of work each week. job openings still close to record highs. we'll get the latest figures at 7:00 a.m. our time. around 11 million jobs are looking for a worker, that's pushed workers' wages up, that's the good news. the bad news, not as fast as inflation. speaking of inflation, today the fed starts its two-day interest rate meeting, that means around 11:00 a.m. tomorrow we'll see an interest rate increase, almost certainly another half a percent. now the big worry from some is that the fed is not moving fast enough. the rate hikes aren't big enough, that the fed is not moving quickly enough to fight inflation. high interest rates hurt the economy, that's what they're designed to do. so you'll see hesitation on the fed's part. there's pain ahead particularly with this. the fed doesn't set interest

rates, but they tend to go up when the fed increases its rates. right now, a 30-year fixed is above 5.5%, that makes houses less affordable. marcus and kris, house affordability near an all-time low in american history. we expect after wednesday we will hit that record of never less affordable. >> sounds difficult for someone starting the process for a home. >> better now than six months from now. great facebook, you know -- >> i know you've got some space. >> work from home life just got fabulous. >> right? >> thanks, scott. how cute would that be? so cute. trending for you this morning, some of the biggest

a-listers showing up and showing out in one of fashion's biggest nights. >> the first monday in may means one thing in new york city, the 2022 met gala and the theme for this year's event was gilded glamour and white tie, which is a continuation of last year's exploration of american style. we're highlighting some of our favorite looks last night, blake lively, one of the year's hosted, an homage to the statue of liberty in a very sachie versace dress. sarah jessica parker came with a dress made for mary todd lincoln, the first black fashion designer for the white house. lizzo wearing more clothes than we're used to, her dress by tom brown, $55,000 golden flute. that is one accessory that is cool. she didn't look like herself. >> we'll have more coming up at 6:00. can you imagine the flute for your kid for their recital?

>> considering one of my kids played the recorder with their nostril, i'm thinking no. it was pretty funny. >> creative. >> see if i can find the video, it was the funniest thing. [ laughter ] i died laughing. >> let's go to weather. >> talking about the a's game later this evening, we have some nice weather out there, as the tampa bay rays come in and we'll see temperatures in the low 70s at first pitch. cooling down to the mid-60s and a lighter wind than we've seen the past couple of days so really great evening for some baseball. we're headed for 77 for our high in oakland. 82 in martinez. the temperatures about ten degrees warmer than yesterday and continuing to heat up tomorrow where we could see highs hitting 90 degrees in fairfield and 82 in novato, san francisco, more of the same in the low 70s and hayward for tomorrow reaching 79 degrees.

then you can see it dropping on thursday, that spike in temperatures won't stay here too long, as we look ahead to see when we could get some rain, slight chance for the north bay on friday, and then another chance, yes, i know this is mother's day, if you're going to be heading north, there will be a chance of showers. the farther south you go the drier it will be and going into next week, we'll see another chance of rain for the end of the week but overall, it's pretty dry here in the bay area. you have to head north to see some rain and we are going to get the cooler air coming in, thank goodness, because we don't want too many of these 90-degree days this early and for the weekend, it's looking really nice, just breezy, if you're taking mom on a picnic, you need to hold everything down. it's going to be windy. heading out this tuesday morning, heading to work, mike, how is it looking? >> make sure it's tuesday, don't push us back one day. looking toward the maps, things are moving smoothly around the bay. we talked about the issues in san jose and in novato, all clearing up as far as power outages and water down.

we have slowing altamont pass and advisory from chp, the wind will push you around just like it did yesterday. no problems reported, no crashes and vasco road moves smoothly out of byron and discovery bay toward 580. atherton avenue may be affected by a crash ta cuts between 37 and 101. the power outage has been cleared from the pg&e report so that's better news for that area. light traffic through the north bay, the tail lights headed down out of san rafael to the golden gate bridge. back to you. >> thanks, mike. next here on "today in the bay," we highlight a bay area health expert now known nationwide. dr. peter chin-hong's positive impact across the region and the asian american pacific islander community. we'll be right back.

5:24 for you this morning. through the pandemic, we learned how important it is to get solid, credible public health information. >> one of the most consistent voices through the pandemic was dr. peter chin-hong of ucsf. we want to honor that contribution from this asian american during asian american pacific islander month. from the moment the first cases of the novel coronavirus were reported out of china in 2019 there were elements of racism. >> it comes from china, that's why. it comes from china. i can name kung flu.

>> reporter: what was it like for you as a scientist to hear that talk? >> dfs demoralizing. it was hard enough to take care of patients every day in the hospital and take care of all the questions we were getting with the community, but to have hate as a layer was unacceptable. >> reporter: undaunted by the racism, he repeated the science with cultural understanding. >> pierre: for once in terms of the science i was able to infuse some other themes, themes of equity, themes of, you know, understanding. while the asian american pacific islander community got hate they continued to do things that protected the aapi community but their greater bay area communities as well. take vaccines, 75% of all californians are vaccinated, over 93% of the asian community

got their shot and claim the highest vaccination rate among all age groups. dr. chin-hong says the model minority notion leaves filipinos out and elderly chinese people who were harder hit by the virus. he's pushing for a focus on subpopulations and equity, work he considers a privilege. >> i can't think of any other way in which i can use what i've learned from my whole life at this moment. >> he really was such a powerful voice in getting that information out there and not taking it at base, presenting it as here is what it is, no opinion. >> and also what we can understand it as well. >> right? sometimes that science information -- >> right. >> thank you dr. peter chin-hong. >> 5:26. next, more top stories, including preparing for wildfire season, certain things everyone should know and keep in mind,

this is while you're home to keep you and your family safe. ahead we'll speak live with one expert on what you need to know when the weather heats up. . a leaked draft opinion from the supreme court indicates roe v. wade about to be overturned. governor gavin newsom's proposal to "enshrine the right to choose here in the state of california." stay with us. you're watching "today in the bay."

oh, wow barbara corcoran! good morning. sorry, but we don't need any business help now. we're gigillionaires. what? we're gigillionaires now. i don't get it we have at&t business fiber with hyper-gig speeds. -but i just... -so thanks, we're doing great. i'm so happy for you! but i'm just here for my order. oh. entre-pin-eurs? yeah, my bowling team. i like it. there's money in puns. do business like a gigillionaire at&t business fiber, now with speeds up to 5-gigs. limited availability.

i absolutely have to be out here, because this is something that affects me so personally, and hurts so much to know that it might be ripped away from me. >> breaking right now at 5:30, fighting for the right to cheese. suggesting the supreme court may overturn roe v. wade. >> and protests as the potential impact on reproductive rights happens, the fallout, the immediate demand for investigation into the leak and we're breaking down what it may mean here in california, including a new response from the governor. this is "today in the bay." thanks for joining us on this tuesday morning. i'm kris sanchez. >> i'm marcus washington, watch us on the go, on roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and online. right to the breaking news, the potential monumental legal shift. politico obtained an initial

draft majority opinion which would overturn the landmark decision roe versus wade that legalized abortion in 1973. >> we have team coverage. scott mcgrew is tracking what could be an extremely unusual reversal for the high court but first, "today in the bay's" bob redell is live for us in san ramon looking for reaction from local leaders. >> reporter: planned parenthood, an abortion provider released a statement "this is a nightmare scenario. we in the reproductive health, rights and justice space have been sounding the alarm." planned parenthood promises to keep its health centers open throughout the state if the supreme court overturns roe v. wade. thousands protested outside the supreme court in washington, d.c., some in support of, others against the right to an abortion. this is in response to a draft

opinion from the supreme court that was leaked to politico which indicates the court is about to overturn roe v. wade. the draft suggested justices will side with mississippi in its case challenging the 1973 ruling that legalizeed abortion nationwide. the court has so far not commented on the leak which one legal analyst tells us is unprecedented, that the leak is unprecedented. we spoke with jessica pinckney, executive director of access reproductive justice in oakland. she said it would be nearly impossible for those under the age of 18 or those who don't have money to get across state lines to receive the care they need. >> and we know for many folks this means an outright ban and they will not be able to access an abortion if desired and forced to carry a pregnancy against their will. >> this could foreshadow a

rollback of individual rights including same-sex marriage and contraception. >> reporter: late last night governor newsom issued a statement. his statement reads in part "we know we can't trust the supreme court to protect reproductive rights, so california will build a firewall around this right in our state constitution. women will remain protected here." there are a couple groups who are in favor of abortion rights, they've already announced they'll be holding protests tonight in san francisco. meantime reporting live here in san ramon, bob redell, "today in the bay." scott, what effect will this have on the courts? it reverses precedent and takes away rights. >> it's rare for the court to reverse itself at all and when it's expanded rights, not taken them away. brown versus the board of

education springs to mind, that expanded the rights for black americans. this decision restricts. either way, the supreme court does not like to say it had been wrong in the past because it's the supreme court. chief justice john roberts has not commented but has to be concerned. he's been public about his wish to unify the high cou it looks the very power of the state. and here we have a situation where the supreme court itself is questioning wisdom of the supreme court and we know about it because of an unprecedented embarrassing leak. now if this decision is true, it would further explainer it the unitedness of the united states with certain states restricting abortion or even outlawing it, others like california may even expand the ability to have an abortion and the availability.

so in this decisive issue, you have states that are going to be very different from each other, more than they are now. the other big question is, some states have indicated they will restrict its citizens from seeking abortions in states where it's still legal. how you restrict women from travel legally is not clear. let's get a closer look at this map. these are the states that have either passed or are working on abortion restrictions according to the center for reproductive rights. some have so-called trigger laws, abortion restrictions that would go into place once the court actually rules. we have not added florida, iowa, montana or wyoming. they lean toward abortion restrictions. the draft decision does not indicate who would have voted which way but we know the liberal side of the court, sotomayor, breyer, kagan will likely dissent, roberts will, too, but not enough to protect roe. is the document legit?

experts think it is. >> this is a legitimate draft opinion, uses language justice alito is known to use. it tracks what justice alito said at the oral argue. . it's just devastating to read. >> neil is a former solicitor general of the united states, that's the person who argues cases in front of the supreme court. we have a huge panel of experts coming up on the "today" show to further look into this, marcus and kris. >> something people will be talking about for quite a while. scott, thank you. 6:36 and to our climate in crisis, and with california's ongoing drought, fire season is becoming something that we talk about all year round. >> so far this year, cal fire already responded to more than 1,400 wildfires burning in more than 6,500 acres. it is wildfire prevention week, so joining us now is brian marshall, fire and rescue chief at cal cal oes. thank you for getting up early

with us. >> good morning. >> what should homeowners be doing now to prepare? >> homeowners should be preparing for this upcoming wildfire season. we know waysed on a lack of significant rain, snowpack, this summer's fire season could be as extreme as the last. chief marshall, a lot of people are at home and we see those evacuation orders we have in place. what could folks do right now at home? i know they can go online and create nair own detailed checklist, right? >> that's very important. having that evacuation plan in place right now before there's smoke in the air is critical. one of the things that we see often in these extreme wildfires is people getting trapped on the

route trying to escape, making sure they have an alternate route out. this is the time to engage with the local fire department, making sure you have the partnership so when the fire does occur, you're ready to go. >> so because of these widespread drought conditions, i would think as an outsider who covers these fires that more people should expect to get fire warnings and need to be prepared than before. >> i think everybody in california needs to be prepared for disasters, not only the wildfires, but earthquakes, blackouts. this is a time for people in california to be prepared for any disaster. specifically the wildland fires we're talking about this week, be ready. it could happen. >> we saw that in the residential areas in paradise and santa rosa. thank you, chief, for joining us and we'll post all of this on our website so folks can get prepared. all right, this is where you

will find it, nbcbayarea.com, you can find that link, it's wildfire preparedness. taking a live look at downtown san francisco, you can see jupiter and venus in the distance there before the sun comes up. >> i was posting on twitter if anyone could see saturn and mars because they're visible with the naked eye, too. i couldn't pick it up on any of the cameras so that's a cool fact there as we are waking up and awaiting the sun's arrival. look at what we're expecting, it's going to be heating up today. tomorrow is going to be the hottest day this week and by thursday, those temperatures are coming back down with some breezy winds, but take a look at these highs for today. it's still going to be breezy, so maybe leave the air conditioning off in many spots but we're cranking it up to 86 degrees in fairfield today. san jose reaching 78 and 81 today in napa. we'll talk about the hotter weather tomorrow and a look ahead to the weekend coming up. mike, what are you watching in

the traffic department? >> we're looking over here not to the weekend but a little bit later on today. right now we're showing the slower drive highway 37 and that's a little bit earlier than we typically see speeds dip below the speed limit. out of oakland today at 6:40 we have another game, the a's are really having a long run of home games there over the last couple of weeks. that is going on with post-work traffic for 883. haven't seen any problems because folks are usually prepared for that. meanwhile on the peninsula, we have a smooth drive, a crash on el camino but not on the 92. 92 eastbound will have that closure tonight starting at 7:00 going to 8:00 a.m. the closure is still going on right now, potentially for some parts of the area, one lane eastbound at most is closed, we haven't seen a problem counter to your morning commute. the rest of your drive shows a smooth drive but the commute in the south bay, san jose, you see that little bit of slowing, we

expect that, 5:40, which it is right now. >> thanks, mike. a north bay neighborhood on high alert. coming up on "today in the bay," one bear making itself just a little too comfy in that neighborhood. we'll take you there live with an update on where authorities are focusing that search. be a step closer to keeping the. the move that just happened that mayor libby schaaf and the a's team president are calling a major deal. but first let's check in with abbey fernandez as she tracks the headlines. >> on the latest episode of "synced in" the gilroy garlic festival, rumors it might happen. is it going to? we'll let you know on our latest episode on our instagram page at nbc bay area.

this? this is supersonic wifi from xfinity. it's fast. like, ready-for- major-gig-speeds fast. like riding-a-cheetah fast. isn't that right, girl? whoa! it can connect hundreds of devices at once. [ in unison ] that's powerful. couldn't have said it better myself.

and with three times the bandwidth, the gaming never has to end. slaying is our business. and business is good. unbeatable internet from xfinity. made to do anything so you can do anything.

good tuesday morning. right now at 5:44, as you head out in parts of the delta, still pretty breezy and temperatures in the mid-50s. look at brentwood, temperatures 62 degrees at 9:00. at lunch time a comfortable 73 but it will be heating up today. we'll look at that and the hottest day of the week coming up tomorrow in the folks, in a few minutes. >> economicing the san mateo bridge, headlights eastbound, they are open, all lanes are open eastbound and we just saw someone from the bottom of the screen the third car up on the left lane there, they were working on their tire, looks like everything's okay again. your commute is smooth for them.

we'll show the rest of the commute for you coming up. people in vacaville on high alert from a bear casually rooming through the neighborhood. it first showed up there and many people are walking around with their eyes peeled. >> we said vacaville, not tahoe. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live in the neighborhood this morning. you better keep your head on a swivel this morning. >> reporter: good morning, kris and marcus. you don't have to tell me twice. i am all eyes and ears this morning. as you mentioned, we are exactly that, in a neighborhood, this is just a really cute residential neighborhood, near an school in vacaville and folks are waking up this morning, sure they're leery because of what they've been seeing and the video they've been seeing coming out of this neighborhood, because of a bear this has been spotted. now police here began receiving calls sunday morning about a large bear, a male, about 300 pounds rooming around

welcome back to "today in the bay." let's turn to today's climate in crisis, we're talking about lake mead in southern nevada hitting an unprecedented low water level exposing the first of three intake valves. take a look at this. you can see the water that looks very low and then this valve is sticking up over the water level, which means that officials had to switch to a lower pump in order to keep supplying that water to tens of millions of people across the west. now this is the largest reservoir in the country formed by the colorado river and the hoover dam and also supplies water to southern california, which as you may have heard is they're facing some very strict water restrictions as a result of that lack of water. and lake mead is only at 30% of capacity, as the severe drought made worse by climate change hits the western states. there are still two more intake valves. if the water continues to fall in the coming years, the hoover dam will no longer be able to supply that water to southern california and other parts of the southwest. you can check out this story and more on our website nbcbayarea.com. we also have some solutions for you. click on the climate in crisis page. kris, marcus?
