we have a lot to get to. if you have to be on the go, take us on the go and we'll talk about what the stars wore last night in the gala. tune in, watch us on roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and online. >> we didn't make it but maybe next year. first let's get a look at the forecast for you this morning. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect. how is it starting out in oakland? >> looks good headed out the door, headed to work. a nice, clear drive to work. look at the high temperatures for today. we'll reach up to 75 degrees in hayward. 77 in oakland. martinez 82 degrees. some of these temperatures about ten degrees warmer than yesterday. we're starting this warming trend and we still keep the breezy wind in fairfield one of the warmest spots reaches 86 degrees. we do continue to heat up tomorrow and we'll look at those numbers coming up in a few minutes. kris? >> thank you, kari. first off, breaking news

this morning, and that potential end to the landmark roe versus wade decision legalizing abortion. politico obtained a leaked draft opinion from the u.s. supreme court and the documents suggest that at least five justices plan to strike down the 1973 ruling following oral arguments made during a mississippi abortion case. as we give you a live look outside the supreme court, "today in the bay's" brie jackson is live in washington following the overnight developments there. we see some of the protesters now speaking out. brie, what's the climate like in d.c.? >> well, kris, as you can imagine, there's a lot going on here in washington, d.c. we also saw protesters there late last night and we expect a lot more coming throughout the day. nbc news has not confirmed the draft opinion but the document would constitute an unprecedented leak and it could change in the upcoming 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 list, 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. and the supreme court is expected to issue its final ruling by late june or early july. kris? >> all right, we'll be hearing about the decision and also how that leak came to be as well, thanks, brie. we'll follow the developments out of the nation's capital as our team coverage continues in our next half hour and our website is a great resource for updates including an in-depth look at what would happen here in the bay area if roe versus wade is overturned.

this is currently the top story at nbcbayarea.com. 6:03 a.m. for you now. this is a story mobile 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. "today in the bay's" ginger conejero saab is live at sjpd headquarters where the police chief as well as the mayor will be holding a press conference this morning. ginger, do we know what they're expected to talk about? >> reporter: we do a little bit, marcus. you're right, this morning both the mayor and the police chief are expected here at headquarters to call for further alcohol and drug testing for officers and for that to be included in current negotiations with the police officers association. right now contract for officers are expected to expire in june. just a couple months away. 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 when it

comes to mental health 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 on "nbc bay area news." marcus? >> we'll look forward to what happens and what is said during that press conference. ginger, thank you. this week is national small business week, and we're moving forward, as many of us are still working to recover from the pandemic. >> especially our small business owners. >> "today in the bay's" laura garcia joins us. you're looking at how one san francisco company relied on digital tools to bounce back. other businesses still trying to bounce back are probably all ears. >> oh yeah, big time. everybody had to be so creative during the pandemic and the resilience of entrepreneurs has really been key for the last couple of years. alfred mai is the ceo of san francisco-based asm games, says his team had to get creative especially because his company

was founded only two years before the pandemic kicked in. the online-based company sells cards, games and said thanks for to the increase of many staying home the company started growing during the pandemic. he said the company has issued ad space on amazon, google, facebook just to try to keep customers in, but then it ran into another problem. >> definite supply chain issues, that was huge. that was one of the worst things we had to go through last christmas when we essentially completely 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. >> had to be frustrating for him. mai says afm games is starting to work through those supply chain issues so they're up and running again. 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. also just trying to find help, we've been talking about that problem in the past as well. >> it's tough. >> there is still help out there people are looking for, right? >> oh, yeah. i was doing a little bit of digging, because although we're emerging out of this pandemic, there are still some great grants available online for small restaurants and bars, licensing fees, for example, can be waived for barbers ands could s could cosmetologyists as well. the state is considering a $200 per person additional boost that

could last through the next decade or so which is kind of night. sf office of economic services they have kind of a unique program where they're trying to help out businesses. you can apply for help and work with architects and engineers to spruce up your storefront to get people in that way. i'll post a link to all of this. i did already on twitter this morning to some of the grants and loans available for small businesses, every little bit helps. >> for sure. thanks, laura. 6:09 for you right now. taking a live look in san francisco, starting out the sun is shining across the city making it a beautiful sight. how is the weather? how are temperatures feeling? meteorologist kari hall is tracking that, not too cool but winds picking up for us? >> still breezy. won't be as windy as yesterday. you're probably still feeling it in the delta as we check out our brentwood commute, temperatures in the upper 50s but look at this trend for today headed for

the mid-70s by 1:00 and notice that it's going to be a lot warmer than yesterday, reaching 808 in livermore, concord 83 degrees. novato 78 degrees and san mateo reaching 71. in san jose we have upper 70s, tomorrow reaches the peak of the heat. a lot of us will have to turn on the air conditioning in the inland valleys as livermore heads for 88 degrees and san francisco will be in the low 70s. we'll talk about a cooler weekend ahead. mike, how is it looking for the morning commute? >> just a few minutes ago we showed you things were really jammed up here north 101, just north of 680. now much clearer, taking a smooth flow of traffic and gone back toward the speed limit, a new crash around oakland road for north 101 may slow things down, may cause an early start to the second slowdown. 101 here southbound around millbrae avenue a crash reported, three vehicles including a dump truck involved but chp just got on scene said we can't find any vehicles now. they may have made their way off at the millbrae off-ramp.

we'll track that by sfo. the bay bridge backup, the metering lights turned on recently, slowing for 37 and highway 4 per usual. back to you. >> good to know, mike, thanks. we are celebrating aapi month all month long here on "today in the bay." >> stand up for people who they see being marginalized or victimized, being recipients of violence. >> ahead at 6:25, we lift the voice of one local health expert who has been essential to the entire bay area community. doesn't seem like houses could get less affordable but yes, it's going exactly that way. let's take a look at the futures this morning. a little bit of green light, marcus, on the morning. speaking of green light, let's talk about it, something on your social media screens, fashion's biggest night, we'll look at those outfits that were served at the met gala, some of which may live on forever. some we probably won't talk about too much today. some of the hits and misses.

stick around. much more ahead on "today in the bay." it's 6:11. what's it like having xfinity internet? it's beyond gig-speed fast. so gaming with your niece, has never felt more intense. hey what does this button do? no, don't! we're talking supersonic wi-fi.

three times the bandwidth and the power to connect hundreds of devices at once. that's powerful. couldn't said it better myself. you just did. unbeatable internet from xfinity. made to do anything so you can do anything. whoa.

happy tuesday. it is 6:14. let's head out the door in fremont. upper 40s, grab a jacket. you'll need sunglasses and short sleeves as we head for the mid-70s early this afternoon. we'll look at all of our microclimates and the hot temperatures ahead, coming up. you could feel it getting

hot. the sun coming up at the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights are on, the toll plaza is full, nothing unusual about this shot but we'll show you how the pattern shapes up as you come into this area and the san jose area. things are getting a little shaken up. good morning, happy tuesday to you. you may have heard, 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. about 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 on mortgage rates. but they do tend to go up when the fed moves. right now, a 30-year fixed is above 5.5%, that makes houses less affordable. in fact, house affordability is near an all-time low in american history. it continues to move down just a little bit more, kris and marcus, for it to be the least reportable housing market

nationwide in the history of the united states. >> how soon can we see that flip? now it's going down. >> a lot of people question. what you're asking is as mortgages get more expensive, so you are your payment goes up, do homeowners need to say i have to stop asking so much for houses? i've not seen that much in the past because homeowner also rather stay in their house than sell it if they have to reduce the price. >> especially if they're squeezed because they can't go anywhere. >> availability goes to zero. >> people are offering thousands and thousands of over the asking price. >> yep. >> thank you, scott. >> sorry. >> 6:17 for you this morning. 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

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. some of our favorite looks last night, kim kardashian wearing the same iconic dress when she sang -- ♪ happy birthday mr. president ♪ >> good going, kris. >> and look at, this swedish fashionista and lgbtq advocate frederick robinson au couture fashion. how do you sit in that? >> if i was going to the met gala that's what i would wear. >> its it's kind of like a costume party. >> go big or go home. >> but how you get a ride there, have them put you on something and trolley you in. >> i'm shutting it down.

all right, time to get a look at the forecast this morning. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect across the bay area. starting out in oakland this morning, kari. >> yes, it's a nice start as we head out on this tuesday morning and we're headed for that evening game at the a's and it's going to be a nice one, at first pitch, temperatures in the low 70s and it's not going to be as windy, in fact the winds do continue to calm down but a comfortable and perfect evening for some baseball in oakland. to the south bay, our temperatures come up about ten degrees compared to yesterday. 82 in gilroy. the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. danville reaching 81. fremont 78 and 80 in vallejo and daly city will see a high of 64 and head down to palo alto and more like 78 degrees. we'll see some slow to mid-60s in san francisco but more in the 68 in the mission district.

mill valley up to 37 and clear lake will see a high of 85 degrees later today. it's fairly quiet cross the region. high pressure is building and that's going to create more intense heat for a little while. there will be a couple of cold fronts moving through in time for the weekend. i'm stopping it right here because this is mother's day and if you're heading north or overtoward the cierra, there's going to be some rain and snow coming down. a little bit of some tricky travel weather, but the bay area looks to stay clear and then as we head toward next week, also the storm track to the north, so unfortunately it's still dry and at times the winds will be picking up and at least when we get this burst of heat, it doesn't last long, by friday into the weekend things are looking much nicer and much more comfortable. hopefully it's still a smooth ride on the roads. >> north 101 at oakland road we have a crash but got quickly to the shoulder and that's why we're seeing standard builds. i thought we'd see a big backup forming. 101 is okay through san jose and up the peninsula as well. on the other side of the bay,

looking at 880 southbound the commute direction out of san leandro, there is a crash at a street. like the one in san jose quickly got to the shoulder. your standard build castro valley and in toward the san mateo bridge. a smooth drive toward the bay bridge and the other bridges westbound. back to you. >> thanks, mike. next on "today in the bay," we highlight a bay area health expert now known nationwide for his pandemic insight. dr. peter chin-hong's positive impact not only across the region but also within the asian american pacific islander community. we'll be right back.

thanks for sticking around this morning. it is 6:23. through the pandemic, we learned how important it was 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 during the 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 kind of talk? >> it was completely demoralizing to hear that. 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 on top of that was really unacceptable. >> reporter: undaunted by the racism, ucsf specialist dr. peter chin-hong repeated the science with cultural understanding. >> once in terms of the science being credible, 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, but more than 93% of the asian population got their shots and they claim the highest vaccination rates amongst 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 providing such good information throughout the pandemic and caulk voice of reason. >> clear and concise information. thank you, dr. peter chin-hong. it 16:26 and next the top stories including preparing for the coming wildfire season. there are certain things everyone should coup enin mind, to keep homes and families safe. ahead we speak live with an expert on what you need to know when the weather heats up. a leaked draft opinion from the u.s. supreme court indicates that roe v. wade is about to be overturned. governor gavin newsom's proposal to "enshrine the right to choose

in the state of california. stay with us. you're watching "today in the bay."

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.

i absolutely have to be out here because this is something that affects me so personally and hurts so much to know that it this might be ripped away from me. >> breaking right now at 6:30, fighting for the right to cheese. the stunning new leak, suggesting the supreme court may overturn roe v. wade. you're looking live at washington this morning. we're looking at the potential impact on reproductive rights

and the fallout, as the immediate demand for an investigation into the leak grows louder. we're breaking down what it may mean here in california, including a new response from governor newsom. this is "today in the bay." thanks for joining us on this tuesday morning. i'm kris sanchez. i'm in for laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. you can watch us on the go if you'd like on our app, go to roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and online. want to get you started with the breaking news for you, the political momentum legal shift. politico obtained an initial draft majority opinion which could overturn the landmark decision roe versus wade that legalized abortion in 1973. nbc news has not obtained nor confirmed that draft. >> 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 at reaction from state and local leaders. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, kris and marcus. planned parenthood, an abortion provider released a statement that reads in part, they call this "the nightmare scenario we in the reproductive health, rights and justice space have been sounding the alarm about." planned parenthood promises to keep its health centers open throughout the state if the supreme court overturns roe v. wade and if others states ban abortions. last night, thousands of people 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 legalized abortion nationwide. the court has so far not

commented on the leak which one legal analyst tells us 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 >> this is very, very serious, about t is an unprecedented breach of the court's confidentiality. >> reporter: that was senator josh holley of missouri who does not support the right to an abortion.

last night governor gavin newsom who supports that right issued a statement an amendment to "enshrine the right to choose in california." 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." that was governor gavin newsom last night in a statement. there will be protests. there's a couple of groups that already announced they will be rallying later today, this evening in san francisco. reporting live here in san ramon, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> they're protesting as you would expect. bob, thank you. skpt ask the, you continue our coverage here. scott mcgrew, talk about the effect this will have on the courts if this is all true and it's reversing precedent. >> this seems to be taking away rights, right? it's very rare for the court to reverse itself at all and when it has, it's expanded right. it's never taken them away. you think of like brown versus board of education.

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 court to make sure it looks and sounds legitimate at a time when so many americans are questioning 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. if this decision is true, it would further splinter the unitedness of the united states with certain states restricting or even outlawing abortion. others like california probably going to expand the availability to abortion.

so in this divisive 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. mississippi tried to do this. how you restrict women from traveling from one state to another doesn't sound constitutional. 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 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. they think roberts will too, but not enough to protect roe. the other question of course, is the document legit? experts think it is. >> this is a legitimate draft

opinion. it uses language that justice alito is known to use. as pete says, it tracks what justice alito said at the oral argument. it's just devastating to read. >> he was the former solicitor general of the united states, so he's argued cases in front of the supreme court. we have a full panel of experts coming up on the "today" show to discuss this more, that's of course kris and marcus coming up at 7:00. >> thanks, scott. it's 6:36 for you right now. we want to go to our climate in crisis. with california's drought crisis, fire season is becoming an issue. >> so far this year, cal fire already responded to more than 1,400 wildfires burning in more than 6,500 acres. this is wildfire preparedness week, and we have joining us now brian marshall, fire and rescue chief at cal oes. thanks for joining us, sir. how should homeowners be preparing right now? >> well, i often say that you

need to be prepared before there's smoke in the air. do your defensible space, have the evacuation plan, have the plan for your pets and other animals. it's time to get ready now. >> a lot of times we talk about this when we talk about earthquake preparedness kits. right now, like you said, is the time to do that, but people should know that they can make these by just going online, really to create that detailed checklist, everything that you all suggest they should have. >> that's correct. every home has different needs, medicine, baby food, all of that comes into play and you need to be prepared now and again, having disaster supplies in case we have an earthquake or the power is out is, all fits together. >> it's a matter of compiling the supplies and getting them together. i know there is a list at

wildfire.org, so we should all be preparing though regardless of whether or not we live near what we think is wildland space. >> that's correct. who knows when you could be in a wildland area, or a wildland fire start. you need to be ready, you need to be thinking that and again, it's every disaster. >> all right, thank you so much for joining us this morning, chief. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we see that more and more as the fires get closer and closer to residential areas. now is the time. it is 6:38 for you now. a live look at the sun. i am here, kari. >> it's going to be really felt today, as our temperatures start to crank up, we're in for some warmer weather over the next -- as a lot of people are headed out the door, we're starting out with some nice, cool temperatures but if you're going to the a's game this evening, it's going to be so comfortable.

the winds will start to calm down and at first pitch we'll be in the low 70s, and then continuing to cool down this evening as we drop down into the lower 60s and then upper 50s by the end of the game. really nice night for baseball, after our temperatures head up for 78 degrees in san jose. some of these temperatures are going to be about ten degrees warmer than yesterday's highs with martinez up to 82 degrees. 81 in santa rosa, and 71 in san francisco. we'll talk about when these temperatures peak coming up. mike, how is a look at not only the commute but also what may be slowing you down later? >> the commute slowing down just as we predict this pattern every morning coming out of alameda and contra costa county westbound across richmond and the bay bridge as well as highway 4 and highway 37. with kari's forecast looking so great, we may see more traffic headed toward the a's game tonight at 6:40 starts. the gates open a couple hours before game time so there will be slowing on the nimitz both

directions toward 66, the 98, we've been talking about. the crash around "a" street and the 238 merge, look like they're both off to the shoulder. a distraction but not a problem and eastbound 92 one lane will be closed again overnight. this morning it was open before 6:00 a.m., scheduled to be closed potentially until 8:00 a.m. this is counter commute and only one lane. the rest of the lanes will be open. the rest of your commute looking pretty good, san jose shows that slowing for 101 and now 87. back to you. >> thank you so much. coming up for you, a bear, yes, rattling nerves in the north bay. >> that's right, neighbors here on high alert after a black bear was found sauntering through a residential neighborhood. now to our digital correspondent. >> 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

"today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live in the neighborhood. all quiet there now but you were probably feeling a little jumpy this morning. >> reporter: good morning, yes, when i got this assignment i was not goen in a lie, i was a little nervous because folks saw that bear up close and personal, so we are keeping our eyes and ears peeled in the neighborhood. it is a residential neighborhood, right now at the
