pull this tanker off the roadway. we are looking at south 680 just before livorno. we have a tanker blocking the slow lane. chp and crews are there waiting for a tow truck. over here toward the altamont pass heading into tracy, this is eastbound and everything should be clear the next couple of minutes. meanwhile the rest of the bay is holding steady at that crash in san jose at the bottom of your screen may affect the early build. we will check on chp details coming up. this morning everyone is talking about people making it in the bay and dealing with the rising cost of food. >> overall inflation is 9.1% over the past 12 months. bob redell joins us from a grocery store in dublin . the price of food is up even more. >> reporter: correct. good morning.

as you mentioned, 9.1% of the overall inflation number from the department of labor the food you buy at the store is up 12.2%. that is the biggest annual increase since 1979. take a look at your tv screen. the bureau of labor statistics found the price of butter and margarine is up 26% over the past 12 months pick cereals and bakery products are up almost 14%. fruits and vegetables up over 8% while meat, poultry and fish is up year-over-year that could a great did see is light drop over the past month, down less than half a percentage point over the past 30 days but still upper over the past 12 month and prices could continue to rise. the usda economic research service has predicted grocery store prices will go up 8.5% to 9.5% this year. that would be more than double

last year's 3.5% increase. the usda blames some of these increases on congestion at ports and higher shipping costs the war in ukraine has also made things like wheat and corn more expensive. bob redell, today in the bay >> those are tough numbers. we want to know how you were dealing with inflation. are you feeling the pinch? we posted the question on my facebook page and on twitter and here are some of your responses. this is so discouraging. a lot of cooking at home and not driving as much. someone else said we have to get back to the basics, like her college years. no frivolous expenses. think before you spend someone else said we don't go out to eat although grocery store prices on helping much either. prices are at an all-time high where we live. you can see it when you head to the grocery store. maybe shop ahead and check those circular ads and look for coupons or special deals. you can dig deeper into those numbers on a website. we have a

look at how inflation is specifically impacting the bay area. ahead to nbcbayarea.com. the link to that story is on our front page. nearly 5 years after the wine country firestorm, nbc bay area has obtained a review of the disaster that planes pg&e failed fire strategy for putting that entire region at risk. critics say the findings make a strong case that pg&e executives let corporate bonuses , not safety, guide their decision. the northbay firestorm tore through a quarter million acres and destroyed hundreds of homes and left 44 people dead. a 500-page report lays the blame for nearly all of them at the feet of pg&e. the analysis commissioned by the public utilities commission concludes pg&e failed to flag any of the high risk powerline that sparked 16 different

buyers and also states pg&e prioritized keeping the power on in urban areas at the expense of fortifying powerline in rural areas where wildfires are at a higher risk. one result was that pg&e executives earned bonuses for reducing the number of homes that lost power. >> they knew that wildfires killed people and yet they chose not to protect those people, but instead to keep the power on for customers in urban and suburban counties, areas so that those people wouldn't complain that their power was shut off and the popsicles in their freezers were melting. they make pg&e did not respond directly to the findings but says it's made prudent

improvements over the past five years like public power shutoffs and setting equipment to shut down automatically at the first sign of trouble. in a statement the utility told us that pg&e is committed to keeping our customers and hometowns save from catastrophic wildfires and we appreciate investors thorough review. now to a follow-up. all lanes of highway 101 yard rand avenue r back open this morning after a double-decker tour bus caught fire. chp said when officers arrived it was covered in flames. lanes were closed overnight as crews try to clean up. no passengers on board were injured. it's not clear why the bus caught fire. let's take you out to san jose. the sun is starting to come up. let's get a look at the weekend forecast. >> good morning. we are starting to make plans and i wanted to show you three key spots where people had for the weekend. napa will see temperatures cranking up on saturday. keep in mind it will be 93 on saturday and 90 on sunday. san francisco is where we keep that coal and natural air-

conditioning with highs in the upper 60s while san jose will see highs reaching 80 tomorrow and mid 80s for the weekend. if south lake tahoe is in your weekend plans, we will see you some of that smoke from the washburn fire going that way and temperatures heading for the upper 80s. we will see a mostly sunny sky and morning temperatures in the mid-50s. on the coastline, santa cruz will have mild weather tomorrow we see a high of about 80 degrees but it will get slightly cooler toward sunday with mid- 70s but pretty nice conditions there. where it will be hot this weekend is paso robles reaching the triple digits on friday and saturday and still pretty warm on sunday with upper 90s. and mike you were looking at that reduction of game day traffic today. >> yesterday we talked at a midday game. today we have a series and a start time at 6:45. six hours later than yesterday and that means traffic coming out of work will be affected by folks coming into the game.

this is off of the two eddie exchange at king and third pick that the major intersection. around the rest of the water, everything is moving smoothly on 101 and 880. in the south bay we did have a crash and it is in the commute direction around oakland road. we see the build and there may be more slowly because of this crash north of the camera. this is 680 and 280 coming north on 101 of two alan rock. things are moving smoothly but volume is building we will track that because of that crash a little further north. watch your wrist. today, thieves and one bay area county are targeting people wearing high end watches the morning from police . inflation seems impossible to escape but some places are more affordable than others. the top 10 states working families are looking to

good thursday morning. right now at 5:42 as you head out in the east bay, we are checking out berkeley's forecast. it starts out cloudy with temperatures in the upper 50s and the sun will peek out around 10:00 and sunshine the rest of the day as we had for the low 70s. we will talk about slightly warmer temperatures in inland valleys coming up.

here's a live look at fremont. a smooth flow of traffic. the headlights southbound on eight 80 without delay but there is a little build here and i'm tracking a crash in san jose. 5:42. this morning there is growing outrage after surveillance video from uvalde, texas. the school shooting was publicly leaked. some victim families are furious it wasn't shown to them first. >> reporter: good morning from uvalde where the fallout this morning continues on multiple fronts. family members and loved ones are still trying to process what they learned originally about the police response is not paired with a video bring that point home. even more emphatically we know at 11:37 offices try to get into the classroom and the prospect by gunfire but it took 40 minutes for them to approach the classroom again with the delivery of ballistic shields

high-powered rifles and body gear. parents want to know why action wasn't taken. we spoke with a law enforcement expert who spent decades in the field and he said this is antithetical to what they are trained to do which is to go after gunfire to neutralize the threat as soon as possible but the other aspect to this is family members want to know why the video was released days before the state was going to share it with that privately and then release it to the public. if you like something private was ripped away from them and shown to the world before they had a chance to see it and digest what was going on. and a lot of criticism about the hand sanitizer moment and the police officer seen thumbing through his phone. there is context to that. very important context to why that witticism is not merited we will explain coming up on the today show. that's the latest from about it back to you. >> thank you . right now president biden just met with the israeli prime

minister. the two signed a joint pledge to deny iran nuclear arms. the move is part of the jerusalem declaration crowning pride in's first visit to israel as president. biden told reporters yesterday he was open to the last resort use of force against iran to prevent that country from getting nuclear weapons. in the east bay, thieves are targeting people wearing high end rolex watches. antioch is one of three suspects has been detained and believed to be involved in two robberies. one happened in walnut creek and the most recent in danville. sheriff recovered an illegal ar-style assault weapon during the arrest. >> generally crimes of opportunity where someone sees someone with a watch and will either follow the or it could be something as simple as someone crossing the street and someone looks and sees a high valued watch and will forcibly take it from them. >> two suspect their juveniles and the third as an 18-year-old man . everyone is talking about

inflation and it's hitting about everything. many californians are considering leaving the state to live in places where they get one for the money. a study shows where they are going. mississippi taking this top spot followed by kansas in alabama. the study from cnbc ranking states based on an index of prices for a broad range of goods and services including the price of a home come a gallon of milk and your monthly energy bill. the average home price in mississippi is $305,000 compared to $800,000 in california. depending on where you are. >> but you still have to live there. >> i don't know if you can afford lobster. two scientist and maine have developed a new lotion and its main ingredient comes from the popular delicacy of lobster. >> scientists say the lotion eases dermatologist.

two years ago the company was struggling with eczema and they studied the protein found in lobsters. scientists tried the protein on the skin and the eczema was cleared. this is not been backed by other scientific studies. employees at luke's lobster gather the waste and sent it to the group who studied and test each new batch before adding it to the skin care. >> the lobstermen will put it on. we've seen it multiple times. put it on and be like, this stuff is pretty good. >> they found it works incredibly well for all conditions where the skin is dry or damaged to be clear, you do not put this on the lobster. >> and what will you smell like? >> my son has eczema so you wonder. >> i'm allergic to shellfish. and that's dangerous. >> i wonder if that is a fact. whatever people are allergic to , is that in the lotion? >> i'm going to take a pass on

that. i don't need the epipen today. >> just use butter on yourself. >> exactly. >> sunscreen this weekend. it will be hotter. you will look like a lobster. >> a rock lobster. >> we do have that drought monitor update today and we can see it remains unchanged for the bay area but of course we still see a lot of that dark red and the highest level of drought. the exceptional drought circling parts of the southern sierra and the central valley. very critical farmland in the area. once again as we zoom into the bay area, we typically don't see a lot of changes in the summertime because we don't normally get any rain. that factors in how much of a deficit we are in rainfall and with us in our dry summer months, we typically don't see much of a change. we went to remind you that you

do need to make sure you are saving water where you can. about 50% of your home water usage comes from landscaping and irrigation. use that smart timer and right now we do not recommend you water more than two days a week and it's after 7:00 p.m. artificial grass is a great option and also low water use plants as you think about ways to change out the irrigation, check the faucets that drip and other leaks around the home. and check to see if you have rebates available where you live. east bay m.u.d. has up to $2000 in rebates for changing out your water system and landscaping. as we take a look at fremont, you are heading to temperatures in the upper 50s. it's a cloudy start as we see our typical marine layer rolling by but it clears out and we see temperatures heading for the low 70s that much time with a high temperature of 77. it will be slightly hotter in fairfield reaching 92 and low

to mid 80s and much of the north bay but upper 80s in santa rosa. half moon bay in the mid 60s this afternoon and tomorrow it's more of the same but we will see those valley temperatures going up another degree or two and getting hotter on saturday as we reached the peak of the heat. the mild coastline will continue with temperatures in the 60s. san francisco will reach into the low 70s. record heat continues across the south and expanding across the west. that heat continues even into next week here's a look at our temperatures as we check out antioch. low 90s today and tomorrow. upper 90s on saturday and then we see it's coming back down by the middle to end of next week some of our inland temperatures are going up and down a degree or two. really no major changes here while san francisco will see highs in the upper six days. those king tides will be back tomorrow morning at 12:31 mike, you are looking at highway 101 with a crash. >> following the crash in san jose and the king tides affected 101 in the north be

exit for stinson beach. that was closed overnight because of the king tides and that may be the case again tonight. over here it's good but you do see 101 moving smoothly past the camera. the backup usually forms approaching 680 and that's what we see picked the crash on 101 at oakland road is off the road come off of 101 at oakland road on the dirt on the side. there may be more slowing as crews and of tow truck arrived on the scene but the speeds are good approaching oakland road. it's the build from story past 680 and past our camera and easing up. north of 880 and the airport, sjc, everything is clear on 101 as you would expect. over here, slowing on south 880 through hayward the earlier crashes cleared. no problems on a street and no problems out of the altamont pass. relatively mild there there is a build for the tri-valley.

still tracking a crash up here. one lane blocked southbound at 680 passing the lavonna exit passing through alamo. still waiting for a tow truck. i think they're getting a larger truck because a tanker is on the slow lane picked walnut creek moving smoothly out of concord and off the venetia bridge you're basically at speed. the other issue was a crash near the altimont but eastbound on the counter commute. no major issues. happening now, went east bay city considering changing the limit on alcohol proceeds at restaurants to give restaurants a boost. right now and hayward restaurants have to limit alcohol sales to 40% of overall proceeds so 60% has to come from food. city councilmembers are looking to change the ratio to 50/50. the goal is to attract new restaurants in hayward. ideas for the change will be presented at the city council meeting in two weeks. home from the hospital and on the mend. still ahead on today in the bay
