>> al will have more about the climate conference coming up this morning on the third hour of "today." >> thanks, kari. right now at 6:00, a new warning for water wasters in the south bay. >> what we're doing is we're looking at possibly going to enforcing restrictions. >> our drought getting worse day by day. ahead in a live report, the consequences you may soon face if you choose not to comply. voicing support for reproductive rights. san francisco's new call to turn the roe v. wade into the law of the land with the countdown to a critical vote in the u.s. senate. a wine country crackdown the proposal that may soon add new limits on vacational rentals and the recent move suggesting this is part of a wider problem. this is "today in the bay." good tuesday morning, terrific tuesday as i like to call it. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm kris sanchez. don't forget you can always watch us here or take us with you with your smart tv, on roku,

amazon fire, apple tv, and online, too. >> mike will have a look at the commute coming up in a bit. but first we want to start out with meteorologist kari hall talking about what we can expect from the forecast today. >> it's a mixed bag, starting out cold. not all of us seeing the rain but there is a chance especially in the north bay. check out napa starting out at 45 degrees at 8:00, we'll see a mix of sun and clouds, some afternoon showers, possibly some thunderstorms any time between 4:00 and 6:00 today, and then we're also looking at some of the showers making it into the santa cruz mountains that may pack heavy rain, as well as hail and maybe rumbles of thunder. we'll be watching out for this as this develops for us today, and then after today, we heat up and then this weekend it will feel like summer. we'll talk about all of those changes coming up in a few minutes. >> all right, thank you, kari. to our climate in crisis now and a new push to cut water use in the south bay. santa clara county leaders are debating creating a new water

enforcement team. "today in the bay's" ginger conejero saab is live this morning. this comes as our reservoirs are extremely low. >> reporter: that's right, kris. today tuesday morning. we're right next to lexington reservoir behind me, looks beautiful this tuesday morning, could see the water filling up the reservoir. as of yesterday lexington along with the other reservoirs in the county are only at 24% full and like much of the state, santa clara county falls under that severe drought category. in response to this, both state and local officials are taking action today. take a look at your screen. there's a lot of orange and even some red on that map and that's exactly what california's department of water resources and the water board will address today at a media briefing set to begin in a couple of hours. here's what's so alarming. california has experienced the driest january to march on

record and as we approach the warmer months, water concentration will play a bigger role in offsetting the drought that we're experiencing. different counties in the bay area are offering solutions, incentives and now enforcement. santa clara county who back in 2019 gently asked people in the county to cut back watering their lawns to two or three times a week say their requests didn't work. >> march of 2022, our water use was 30% higher than march of 2019, so you know, what we're looking for was a 15% reduction, and we ended up with a 30% increase. >> reporter: now they're proposing a new ordinance with enforcement restrictions that will be presented to the board soon. water police, as they will be called, may start enforcing by the end of the month. first with a door hanger, and then they'll step it up with enforcement with fines up to

$500 per occurrence. meantime, over in marin county, the small business administration is offering economic support for some agricultural businesses that have been impacted by the drought. some economic loans are available for non-farm businesses that work directly with agricultural businesses so there are steps in trying to help those really affected by this drought. we'll find out more with how the state and local officials plan to go. we're live in the south bay, ginger conejero saab, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, inder. ginger. developing right now, russia is accused of new war crimes in ukraine. the leader of kharkiv says the bodies of 44 civilians have been found in the rubble of a building destroyed in march. in eastern ukraine, meanwhile, teams are still digging through the rubble of a school in donbas where it's believed dozens died in a russian missile strike over the weekend.

u.s. house lawmakers are expected to vote today on at least $33 billion in new funding for ukraine. homeland security says nearly 6,000 refugees will enter the u.s. by applying through an online application portal launched last month, part of president biden's goal to bring in 100,000 ukrainian refugees. a live look in san francisco this morning where supervisors today will urge u.s. lawmakers to make roe v. wade a congressional law. last week a leaked draft opinion suggested the supreme court might be ready to overturn abortion rights. tomorrow the u.s. senate is expected to hold a vote to codify roe versus wade making sure that it remains the law. democrats are not expected to get the votes they need to pass that, however. senate majority leader chuck schumer says he wants lawmakers to be on the record about where they stand. this morning, we are waiting to get an update from vallejo police on last night's triple shooting. this happened around 8:30 on avian drive near columbus parkway.

we are still working and trying to get that information on the victim's conditions or whether police arrested any suspects. 6:05 right flou. now. if you're thinking about a weekend getaway, some choice bay area locations may soon be harder to come by with more places cracking down on vacation rentals. one debate happens later today in the north bay. >> laura garcia joins us now. laura, this is not a new battle but it is heating up just as wine country is trying to welcome people pack for the summer. >> exactly, everybody wants to get out. you're completely right. good morning, kris and marcus. the latest county to propose new crackdowns on vacation rentals is now sonoma county. today supervisors are set to consider a 45-day moratorium on new vacation rental permits. the county says it's seen a sudden spike in applications, and there are concerns about the impact on housing.

sonoma plans to have a vacation rental ordinance ready by august. in the meantime, marin county is considering something similar. later this month, leaders want to put a temporary ban on new registration for licenses and short-term rentals. west marin already has more than 500 vacation rentals through sites like airbnb and vrbo, which are more than other areas in the county. the concern here is that too many vacation rentals create lasting employment and housingish auto yous in california coastal communities as well. you'll recall, the city of south lake tahoe passed a strict ordinance prohibiting short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods. a lot of people are getting too loud. in north lake tahoe, placer county is considering a new set of rules to also rein in vacation rentals and protect what little housing inventory remains for locals. so many people moved to the area. the town in truckee on your way to lake tahoe just off of 80, they are also in the midst of a

moratorium. pretty soon it may be tough to get away unless you own a cabin, a friend has one or change up your plans all together and try stay in a hotel. >> that's tough. especially during the holiday weekend when a lot of people try to go up there all at once. >> tough to make it in the bay and tough to get away in the bay. a live look at san francisco now, and it is clear-ish there, but we know the temperatures are cool, cool, cool. >> feels like winter outside, doesn't it? it's not like may. >> no. >> we have all kinds of changes here. let's take a live look in san jose, we can see the clouds rolling by in the distance as we await the sun to peek over the hills in the next few minutes. it's going to be a beautiful start to our day. as you step out the door, this will wake you up. it's only 41 degrees and we'll see our temperatures starting to warm up by late morning, but we're only going to be in the

low 60s for today, with a mix of sun and clouds, but there will be some spots getting some rain, especially in the north bay, around napa, we're looking at some of the hills up there getting in on some heavy downpours and possibly storms. mike has a look at where we may find cheaper gas prices. >> trying to get some breaks kari, all over five bucks. napa north bay $5.49 a gallon at the 7-eleven on devlin road. oakland it's royal gas on international boulevard, gas is $5.27. cash only, that's the qualification. and on the peninsula, gas is $5.75 at the 76 on el camino reale in menlo park. keep the speeds in mind, 65 is the limit and the green blobs there, there is actually some rain out there kari has been talking about. it's scattered but caused slowing in sunol, the latest to impact your commute. i circled the 24/580

interchange. i believe the connector ramp may have a crash. i'll bring you the latest details coming up. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:09 for you this morning. relief is coming as a desperate manhunt comes to a dramescaped murder suspect back in custody, the guard that helped him escape dead, ahead for you at 6:25, we have reaction from the son of a woman whose murder is now tied to the suspect. plus moving out, a lot of tech workers moving to different countries hurt in silicon valley. let's take you out to the futures this morning, look at those green numbers, those are rare. plus -- ♪♪ ♪ working 9:00 to 5:00, what a way to make a living ♪ >> dolly and dodoja? yes, one night only,, getting togethther in a bigig w way too celelebrate a f favorite menu i.

all day. we'll talk about the changes ahead in our forecast, coming up. you might see the reflection of the sunlight in this shot right here. notice over on the right side, though, we don't have the wind advisory, not for the san mateo bridge. things are a little calmer. look at the traffic starting to build. we'll show you where it's slowing coming up. good morning, happy tuesday. before the break we were showing you something you hadn't seen in a while, positive numbers on the stock market. let's look at it again. some welcome green after yet another day of drubbing yesterday. there are some high fliers. nvidia down 40% from their all-time highs. monday kicked off the seventh week of losses for markets. the s&p 500 just a few percentage points off, hitting a bear market, defined as 20% from its all-time high. same old story as far as what investors are worried about and that's inflation and the fed's reaction to inflation.

will raising interest rates work to fight inflation or just work to hurt the country? they think of it this way. most of inflation is because of lack of supply. the used car goes up because there aren't enough on the lot. making it more expensive raising interest rates doesn't make more used cars. yesterday we were showing you some video of americans moving to mexico to save money during a time of high prices. hmm. immigrants carrying their stuff across the border for a better life, seems vaguely familiar. a new report will be published this week that says tech workers are leaving america, they're headed to canada, because you can work anywhere these days. canada doesn't have a limit on high-tech talent the way we do. the report says there are more workers on immigrant visa in toronto than the whole united

states. silicon valley congressman lofgren told the "wall street journal" this could hurt the economy. no rule silicon valley is always going to have the tech crown. a trade group for the tech industry will lobby congress about that this week warning remote work won't just hurt california but the u.s. in general as workers leave for their home countries but leave with their american jobs. >> hmm. >> interesting. all right, thank you. >> thanks, scott. >> you bet. taking a live look at sfo now, and here's a question for you. >> okay. >> are you planning a summer getaway? >> yes. >> all right, this morning, google is out with the annual list of top destinations. let's see if you're headed where everybody else is. right now in the u.s., orlando is the top domestic location. >> hmm. >> las vegas, new york also in the pop five. as for international spots, cancun was number two, while

paris came in at number seven. google's trend expert justin burr explains searches for passport appointments are skyrocketing this year. >>'first three months of 2022, passport search inquiy increased by over 300% so i think it's indicative people are trying to go internationally and the top trending destinations of the top 25 of them are international destinations, compared to just a year ago, there was only one international destination on that top 20 trending list. >> google's also launching a new tool to help you plan your trip. because we got a little rusty over the pandemic. you can use it to track flight prices and filter hotels by features and amenities like kid-friendly for me. >> okay. not kid-friendly for me. celebrating the return of a popular menu item for taco bell.

>> i'm still like wait, what's going on? there's a mexican pizza musical? >> dolly parton, doja cat? >> what? we'll talk about the weather, some spots getting brief, heavy rain and other areas waking up to an all-clear sky. we're keeping an eye on the radar, we have this low spinning off the coast and bringing in some of these very isolated showers, but we're all feeling the cold this morning, it's in the upper 30s in saratoga and mid-30s for san martin and right there at freezing in st. helena and one degree above freezing in santa rosa. really cold start and as you're heading out today, take that allergy medicine. we have a lot of grass, walnut and olive pollen just floating through the air, so if it's really bothering you, that's what you're allergic to. el with' have a chance of rain

and low 60s in fremont, a high of 62 today. tomorrow much more sunshine, no worries about rain, and it's still going to be cool for this time of year, keeping in mind that the normal high temperatures in the low 70s, starts to feel a little bit milder on thursday. our hour-by-hour outlook i want you to plan ahead. we could see isolated showers, possibly thunderstorms in the santa cruz mountains, as well as the north bay, from fairfield up toward napa county, and lake county, that really gets going as we head toward 2:00 to 3:00. i'll zoom around the napa area and just to the north around st. helena where we could see the potential of small hail, brief, heavy downpours and thunderstorms for today, and that also extends up toward ukiah. all of that calms down tonight and the rest of the forecast is looking good but where we do get the rain it could be quite a bit, maybe over three-quarters of an inch of rain around napa,

but just hit-or-miss showers elsewhere. the sierra sees one to three inches of show. we see upper 80s on saturday, a hot weekend ahead. mike, how is the bay bridge this morning? >> we have the backup and now the sun in our eyes. watch out going from san francisco to oakland. the backup is not unexpected and debris from something in the area, maybe a tire, checking on that. i circled west 24 just before 580, at the connector, there is a disabled vehicle so there are crews on the scene. chp is there, they should clear that quickly, not super big backup but could be a earn can, just be careful. meanwhile the rest of the bay shows a very light drive. we had that patch of rain that traveled actually as kari said through sunol and pleasanton, it moved off toward livermore but we have slowing for 84 and 680 a bit. back to you. >> thanks, mike. next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> if you're flying to europe, we have some advice that might take the sting out of a delay or

6:24 right now. with that recent saga of two alabama fugitives now over, the son of a woman allegedly killed by recaptured inmate casey white is speaking out on the "today" show. authorities caught up with white and prison deputy vicky white

after a chase and crash yesterday in indiana. the guard then took her own life. all of this is a relief for the son of ridgeway, who casey white stands accused of murdering. >> i'm going to find out what happened like everybody else, i want to know why it was casey the manipulator or vicky kind of wanting to have one last escapade before retirement? >> a lot of unanswered questions. watch that entire interview later this morning on the "today" show. and attention international airline passengers. which we know there are a lot of you out there right now. >> i wish it was me right now but it's not. consumer investigator chris chmura has some advice for payback when your plans to fly to europe go sideways. unlike the u.s., the european union requires the airlines to compensate people when they can't keep to their schedule. compensation kicks in when you arrive two hours or more later than when you were supposed to.

starts at 250 euro for short flights and up to 600 euro for the farthest flights that are delayed the longest. any time you're flying an eu airline to, from, through or around europe, the rules apply. when you're flying u.s. carriers, cash payments are not required on your way to europe but on your way home they are. eu 261 requires payment unless the airline can prove what the law calls extraordinary circumstances, things like nasty weather or strikes, other issues like maintenance or crew shuffling do require compensation to you. here's how to get paid. you have to file a claim after your flight, so keep your receipt and ticket number. look for a form on the airline website. most of them that we saw were pretty straightforward. the deadline is less straightforward. it might vary by airline. what we do is apply as soon as you get home. some companies online will help you file an eu261 claim but take a cut. i'm confident you could do it yourself and pocket every penny.

>> good advice, chris, thanks. next the top stories we're following for you today include the u.s. moving ever so close to a new all-time high when it comes to gas prices. new data. plus one city's plan to crack down on ghost guns, that debate happening later today and why leaders there is a that it's becoming such a big problem. and from school districts to city employees an uptick in covid cases leading to some big changes. we'll have that story coming up.

kristi yamaguchi. it's been 30 years since she won olympic gold. now a look at the forecast, meteorologist kari hall standing in front of the beautiful sunrise, you love those i know. >> absolutely. it's starting out beautiful in the south bay. we are going to see the sunshine throughout today with some clouds in the mix, but it is very chilly out there. make sure you're prepared for the cool weather we'll see today with some upper 40s to start, low 60s by this afternoon. but not everyone's going to see sunshine all day. we have this storm system that's off the coast and will bring in a chance of rain today. we'll talk about when and where in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. developing for you this morning, chp they need your help to find the shooter who injured a young boy riding in his car on interstate 80. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell is live this morning outside chp offices. bob, do they have any leads? you don't want this kind of person running around.

>> reporter: unfortunately we don't know if they have any leads. if they do, they're not sharing that information with us. good morning to you, kris and marcus. the chp is asking if you witnessed this shooting to give them a call. this happened yesterday afternoon around 4:30. this happened yesterday afternoon, happened around 4:30 on eastbound i-80 near the alamo exit in vacaville. someone fired several shots at this honda sedan. you could see the bullet holes on the driver's side of the vehicle, at least one of the shots hit a 7-year-old boy who was riding in the back seat. he was taken to the hospital and fortunately his injuries are not life-threatening, so he's going to be okay. nbc bay area saw chp driving the shoulder looking for shell casings. no comment from the organization about the details of the shooting. was it random, or were the people in that car targeted? those are questions we don't have answers to. these types of shootings are

becoming more and more common in bay area freeways. nbc bay area's investigative unit found that these crimes have more than doubled between 2019 and 2021. you'll recall last november jasper wu was a week shy of his 2nd birthday when he was shot and killed on i-880 in oakland. in february of this year, uc berkeley basketball legend gene ransom was shot and killed as he drove on 880 in oakland. there's been an arrest in the killing of ransom and a $ 10,000 award leading to the solve of the wu case. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you. >> 6:33 now. happening today, san jose leaders vote on an ordinance to ban untraceable ghost guns. this would outlaw owning ghost guns or distributing the parts. supporters argue the weapons can be easily assembled with kits and 3-d printers. santa clara county authorities say ghost guns are recovered at crime scenes some 70% more frequently now than in 2015.

from cities to schools, the latest covid surge prompting new bay area action. in one case workers face new mask requirements. this is happening as students are being urged to test at home after a school outbreak. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live in marin county. cierra, this is really concerning for a lot of people as the numbers continue to rise. >> reporter: yes, good morning, marcus. the numbers not only rising here in marin county, but down in the south bay at santa clara county they're seeing an uptick in numbers, prompting a lot of the health leaders to tell folks to take the precautions, do what you can to protect yourself and others. let's start with the uptick of cases in marin county. if you look at your screen we have a break down according to the "marin independent journal" 20 schools are experiencing an outbreak, defined as three or

more cases among students and staff and despite the outbreak status, the county will not be issuing any local mask mandates for any settings that includes schools or any other entity for now. however, districts are urging students to reconsider mask use for the special occasions. and in the south bay, the city of san jose is revising its mask policy for city employees only. now a mask mandate was implemented on friday and that will last for two weeks. one month ago santa clara county saw an average of less than 200 cases a day. santa clara county is now seeing 550 cases each day. dr. peter chin-hong says masking up will help keep you protected. >> it keeps you from getting it, i would say it lowers your risk. i wouldn't put it up with zeros anymore but it means you have to have a good mask and you have to be diligent about wearing it when there's an increase in cases particularly with a new variant or something like that.

>> reporter: it's also important to note that b.a.r.t. recently reinstated their mask mandate and worth noting some other bay area counties we're keeping a close eye, they have not announced changes due to the uptick in cases. if there are any changes, we'll let you know. we're live in marin county, cierra johnson cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> a lot of changes and it happens every day. cierra, thank you. this is just in to our newsroom right now, the u.s. just hit a new all-time historical high in terms of gas prices according to aaa. the national average is now at $4.37. california now averaging a little less than $6 a gallon and we need it, very less than $6 for regular unleaded. if anybody knows about the gas prices people traveling across the bay bridge and elsewhere across the bay area. this is a live look this morning as we get through the day. meteorologist kari hall has been monitoring what we can expect

from the temperatures out there, starting out nice and cold for us this morning. >> very cold out there, and we're starting out with some of the spotty showers here and there as well. as we take a look at the radar, we've seen the off and on rain but most of us haven't seen it, take a look at what we have off the coast and what we were experiencing yesterday in parts of the north bay. as we go into the noon hour, there could be some showers firing up around the santa cruz mountains, as well as the north bay. these are the main areas that we'll be watching today, and as we get a closer look up around napa at 4:00 to 5:00, there could be some brief heavy downpours developing, possibly some small hail, as well as a chance of thunderstorms, so watch out for that, not only for santa rosa up through ukiah, extending over toward fairfield, the north bay really the target of the potential of some thunderstorms later today. mike, you've been keeping an eye on the roads and also what we're looking ahead to. >> that's right, kari. right now, we have the issue on the bay bridge, reports of some

debris and a couple of cars on the shoulder on either side of the incline, where i circled there. there may be slowing at the toll plaza for the bay bridge but the west 24 incident did clear from the connector. that's good news. the slowing in the red zone coming toward us is westbound, the morning commute. eastbound tonight overnight from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. you'll have a full closure of eastbound 80. that's at gilman, you get off and back on the freeway but westbound overnight last night did have slow so long prepare for that again for those hours. over here we have a few hours until the game starts again at oracle park. there will be after-work traffic in the area, local closures but nothing going on at chase center. the warriors won last night and now out of town so lighter flow. san jose starting the build at the bottom of the screen and we don't have a big deal but it is starting to build for 101 here north of 680. back to you. >> thanks, mike. shining a light on a bay area legend. >> i felt like any other california girl kind of going

children, i did not know this was happening. supply is down by 40% according to the latest data. last month's supply was down almost 30%. so what can parents do and what should they not do? laura garcia is talking with doctors who have some advice. what a scary thing, laura. >> it is. you have to feed your babies and when you have a shortage of this precious formula, good morning to you both. so first of all, why is this all happening? inflation, we've got the supply chain issues that they're dealing with as well and product recalls that we've seen in recent months. one of the most requested consumer products on the market, so what do parents to? i talked to a bay area pediatrician who says there is definitely a list of do's and don'ts. let's start with the do's. ask your pediatrician if he or she is able to get some of the baby formula. a lot of times reps drop off extra formula in the office,

or even your local wic office, check smaller stores or drugstores when bigger stores are low stocked and purchase formula online, but make sure it's from a well-recognized distributor or pharmacy. now, here are the don'ts. they're really important. don't try to water down the formula. it can cause nutritional imbalances in a baby causing serious health problems and don't give an infant under 12 months of age any milk alternatives such as almond or soy or plant-based supplements and don't give an infant toddler formula. pediatricians are against using any homemade formula. it won't fulfill a baby's nutritional needs. >> when you mix your own formula, you tend to not have enough nutrition to help babies grow, and at this critical age, especially between zero and six months, nutrition really equals development, and brain growth and so we really recommend against mixing formula.

>> the doctor says mixing your own formula runs the risk of negatively impacting your baby's electrolytes and the salts and the blood in the system are so important. most important talk to your pediatrician about any changes you may have. companies like abbott labs who makes the popular similac are trying to increase production as well as flying daily shipments from their manufacturing facilities in europe, those that are fda approved so hopefully we'll see more formula on store shovels soon to help out worried parents. back to you. >> thank you, laura. congress still working on getting more aid to ukraine but the president is sending some of his own. >> scott mcgrew, president biden updating the decade's old lend lease act. >> that's right. as we wait for congress to vote on the money and expenditures of sending more aid and weapons to ukraine that should happen later today, the president is going to let ukraine borrow some.

here is a howitzer, make sure to give it back. president biden signed the lend/lease agreement yesterday, congress passed that act nearly unanimously. in the meantime, congress is voting on the aid package. it's even bigger and more expensive than the president asked for. republicans and democrats tacking on new things. >> every day, ukrainians pay with their lives and fight along and the atrocities that the russians are engaging in, are just beyond the pale, and the cost of the fight is not cheap, but caving to aggression is even more costly. that's why we're staying in this. >> biden's land lease act borrows the idea from roosevelt's land lease act of the '40s. america wanted to stay out of the second world war but wanted to help england so we lent navy ships, gist give it back to us when you can. the president will speak

about inflation and the white house says he will talk about what they're calling the maga tax act, raising taxes on working people. i don't want to fact check the president before he speaks, that's not how fact-checking works, but the idea of taxing people who don't already pay income tax is one republican senator's idea not the position of the entire republican party. if he positions it that way, we'll talk more about it tomorrow. the u.s. senate has passed a bill by unanimous consent that would extend body guard protection to the families of supreme court justices. this as abortion rights protestors protest outside the justices home, in this case outside alito's home. while we're watching on what's happening in washington and wall street as well, we'll talk about it on social media, on facebook i'm at scott mcgrew tv. >> thanks, scott. the sharks wonder if it could be the end of the line for the most popular player of the team ever.

the sharks have announced 11:00 a.m. news conference, this is over speculation running high that patrick marleau will announce his retirement. he didn't play this past season but holds the nhl record for the most games played. the sharks drafted him 25 years ago, just ahead of a guy that later traded for who became another sharks legend, joe thornton. happening today san jose leader also honor former mayor and long-time south bay political leader norman mineta, the first council meeting since his death one week ago today. he was a long-time congressman and u.s. transportation secretary. flags will continue flying at half staff, a san jose airport named after him and all city facilities through the end of the day. today the council will issue a proclamation honoring his legacy. >> well deserved. this year nathan chen made history as the united states first aapi man to win the gold in figure skating, but the very first aapi ever to take that title was fremont's own kristi yamaguchi. >> "today in the bay's" mike

inouye sat down with her 30 years after that big win. >> we're looking at your part in aapi history as we approach 30 years after your gold medal win in albertville in 1992. can you remember what that meant to you at that point, specifically? >> i just felt like any other california girl, kind of going after her dreams, not really realizing in the moment that i could possibly become the first asian american woman to win a winter olympic gold or even medal, so it wasn't on my mind at that point, at that point it was just like okay, just do what you can, don't fall and make mistakes. >> and she was like any other california girl, but before the nation looked at kristi as our nation's champion her mom was born in incarceration in an

internment camp in world war ii when the country looked at her as more than 100,000 others as enemy aliens. >> i have a lot to be grateful for, i'm fourth generation japanese american. my family has gone through incredible circumstances to really establish their life here in the u.s., and i started to think about it and realize it and understand that they certainly paved the way, the generations before me. i think it's, you know, certainly a path that we all keep trying to understand and learn more about, and you know, particularly learning so something like that doesn't happen again, so that there isn't a targeted population that is stripped of their civil rights and civil liberties. >> since then 30 years ago,

kristi has become a big advocate for early childhood learning, reading, literacy. her always dream foundation does a lot there. many other things including she's become an important voice in the fight against anti-aapi hate so that's really important. kari and kris, marcus, we know how we each bring ourselves and our own experiences to the table and that's what she does really well. >> she does it very well. thank you, mike. 6:51. time to get a look at the forecast for you. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking some rain in our area, cold temperatures in our area, just all over the place. >> so what month is this? >> right. >> not at all feeling like may and we've gone back to january with not only these temperatures but with the chances of rain as we are waking up and heading out, it's already a busy start in dublin and it's only 41 degrees, as you're heading out the door, our temperatures will be very slow to warm up, we'll see a few clouds in the mix, kind of staying in the 50s for much of the morning into early in the afternoon but this is

what we have going on. so there is an area of low pressure, it's bringing in some isolated showers in. i had some brief, heavy rain on my drive into work this morning and just a heads up that you may have the same especially later on today. we are starting to see more activity popping up here for parts of the santa cruz mountains that could go into the south county, in parts of the north bay, i'm really keeping an eye on this area because we had some heavy rainfall yesterday in santa rosa, with some hail, and now we could see it again today, just a little farther north of napa, around st. helena, toward calistoga as well. some of the heavy downpours may bring in small hail, thunder and lightning. beware of that for later today. and that's where we could see close to an inch of rain while other areas see absolutely nothing. so definitely a mixed bag of weather here while the sierra will get about one to three inches of snow for today. and we deal with this active

weather today, everything quiets down and we go to spring for tomorrow as well as thursday, then look at friday, more feeling like summer out there, and definitely a summer feel to the air on saturday, with our valley temperatures in the upper 80s, while san francisco will go from the 50s to the low 70s this weekend. mike, how is it looking for the chute? >> we don't have that summer feel in all spots but san jose lighter build, building 101 up toward santa clara. same thing for the east bay typical nimitz toward fremont. westbound for most of the routes the major commute, the crash and debris cleared from the bay bridge it seems but we have the backup that ripples back from the toll plaza onto westbound 580. west 24 the incident cleared. we have the backup of course at the toll plaza you see it moving a bit. back to you. happening now, teachers at seven bay area charter schools plan to protest this morning saying contract talks are at an impasse.
