intent blames in your yosemite and the local firefighters hoping to attack the oak fire, and how fire departments in the bay area will ensure services here will not feel the heat. >> and the new push to get monkeypox vaccines to those most vulnerable and the reassurances from experts on why this will not be another pandemic on the same scale as covid. this is today in the bay streaming live on roku, amazon fire, apple tv and online. thank you for joining us on this monday morning i'm kris sanchez, laura garcia enjoying time with the family. >> and i marcus washington i'm about to get to this morning so let's get right to it. first, developing now, conditions are overwhelming firefighters trying to tackle and get in control of the oak fire burning your yosemite. it started in mariposa county and has since exploded in size. >> this morning we do have team covers on the fire. we're tracking the bay area air quality concerns, but we want to start with bob redell .

>> bob, local strike teams are trying to get every thing under control because they're being sent out on the front lines. >> reporter: correct, morning to you marcus and kris, we know at least three bay area fire departments who have sent firefighters to the oak fire. this is a fire burning in mariposa county, and so far it has burned over 15,000 acres, and destroyed at least 10 buildings. unfortunately it is right now 0% contained. the governor is declaring a state of emergency due to the oak fire pit about 2500 firefighters were on the scene, including five from the fremont fire department, which is right behind me. they headed up early saturday morning and a four wheel drive. >> this is in the early stages of the fire and it is pretty active. most likely they are either right in with the fire, actually extinguishing it as it comes to the houses, or following behind the fire front as it is passing because it is too dangerous or hot for the

firefighters. >> alameda county has sent 21 firefighters, including four from the oakland fire department. sonoma county has also sent a strike team, and the fire departments that have sent workers say they have backfilled the positions, so services in the bay area will not be impacted. the sunnyvale department of public safety said they are not able to send a crew to the oak fire pit on it twitter the public safety officers association said quote unfortunately, due to her current staffing shortages we were unable to assist." most of the bay area cruise sent to the oak fire are expected to be there about two weeks. and today back here in the bay area, we could start seeing and feeling the effects of the oak fire. good morning to you. >> good morning, bob. as we talked about the fire conditions, the impacts of the drifting smoke we do have an air quality advisory in effect today. i want to start with san francisco as it showcases the marine layer and low clouds

will help keep the smoke away from the area creating a blocking effect. but into the afternoon, if we take a look at the upper air smoke aloft, that means it is smoke high above, you will notice hazy skies and it will be visible and you will get that smoke and orange glow as you see it drifting right from where the yosemite fire is actively burning, especially up to them parts of ukiah and into the east bay interior. but you can actually smell and sense is the one of the surface and the near surface smoke, that is the smoke that you breathe and it is a little lower down below. if you notice the impacts from the smoke, a lot of that primarily stays aloft. not a lot comes to the surface, which is great and that is what we want to see. when it comes to the air- quality effect, potentially down below i will talk more about the timing of those temperatures and the smoke again coming up with a full forecast. back to you.

>> thank you vianey. we're tracking the oak fire closely and it is a top story on the website . when you are not on air, go to the nbc bay area.com for updates on the fire lines. a live look from capitol hill where the house committee investing the january 6c just now considering its next steps at this point no more public hearings are scheduled. that might also change. today in the bay we report from washington and there is speculation on who the committee might want to speak to next. >> reporter: that is right marcus, good morning. the committee says it is speaking with a lawyer for jenny thomas, the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas, and the committee says a subpoena could be on the table for her if she decides not to speak to the committee voluntarily. >> it is public hearings over for now but the committee investigating the january 6 capital riot is still working.

>> >> without a hearing this week would be the final hearing becoming more witnesses have come forward did >> one potential witness the committee wants to hear from his conservative activist virginia thomas, wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. >> we certainly hope she will agree to come voluntarily but the committee is fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena if she does not. >> thomas has come under scrutiny for messages you sent a former trump chief of staff, mark meadows, questioning the 2020 election results at the republican officials in arizona whom she reportedly present to help overturn the trump election loss. committee members know serving thomas a subpoena to testify would be controversial, but insisted it might be necessary. >> if they have an information or role in overturning election they are not excluded from examination. >> the committee wants to know what happened to secret service text messages from january 5th and sixth. a criminal investigation is underway to figure out why the messages were apparently deleted. >> what we have become aware of over the course of the last

several weeks is deeply troubling and we will get to the bottom of it. >> thursday's prime time hearing focused on former president trump's inaction for more than three hours after supporters overran the n he continues to insist he did nothing wrong. >> they are coming after me because i'm standing up for you did >> the former president ripping once again that the life re- election was rigged and stolen from him. and the committee's next public hearings will be in september and leaders haven't decided yet whether to make criminal referrals to the justice department when they complete their work. marcus, back to you. >> never ending, crisp alone in washington, thank you. now to new developments this morning on a monkeypox outbreak, involving two cases of children in the u.s. outbreak, involving two cases of children in the u.s. here in the latest bay area infectious numbers, they are little small, here san francisco has the most at 197. blayne alexander with the team from the today show's outside

the cdc in atlanta this one with the nationwide effort to curb the spread. >> reporter: good morning to you and this is a rare step by the world health organization but in fact, the last time they made this declaration was back in january 2020 in response to the covid virus. it is very important to note this is certainly a very different type of virus but it is an airborne or respiratory, rather transmitted through physical contact, direct contact, and experts say as of right now when you look at the number of cases, they are quickly rising across the u.s. 1400 cases less than two weeks ago, and now that number has nearly doubled, just shy of 3000 cases. >> this will not spread as covid did, largely to the general population. but it could integrate itself into infections that we will have to deal with as we do other sexually transmitted infections are sometime to come

. >> you just heard him say this is primarily a virus that have been found in men in the lgbtq community, experts make it abundantly clear this is something that can and is it spreading to anyone. in fact over the weekend two children were diagnosed with confirmed cases a monkeypox, one in california, the other in washington, d.c., the other in washington, d.c. and as for vaccines and the biden administration says they are planning to roll out more in the coming weeks. so far they have been in low supply and experts say those who have been exposed or are at higher risk of exposure to monkeypox, should make a priority to get that vaccine. >> and school is just a month away so that a scary. redwood city leaders tonight debate a massive new development plan years in the works that will likely end up including new housing. developers want to build a large office park called the harborview project along the industrial area bloomquist street. the developer would have to include new affordable housing, and dating 60 for existing units for low income families. while city leaders are calling it a start, they say even more

units are necessary to offset potentially thousands of additional workers. councilmembers tonight will hold a public feedback session if you do want to weigh in. happening now, kris as you know corpse flower's are a big deal these days. if you watched last week you saw bob redell on friday in santa cruz or people were awaiting the rear but another one is going on at san jose state. yes this is video from the school's tropical greenhouse. this flower is expected to be in full bloom by tomorrow. you will probably have to hold your nose. and that is because it is supposed to smell like a corpse. and that is the name of the following. >> fortunately for me i don't know what that smells like. now let's take a live look a downtown san jose. we have some fog down in the south bay heard >> cousin carlos.

yes, temperatures right now are in the 50s, but let's talk about what to expect into the afternoon. we are talking about that air quality. a lot of that will stay aloft but it will get hazy at times from the drifting smoke because of the nearby fire in yosemite look at your daytime highs if you will be in san francisco we will be in the 60s. meanwhile down to the south bay, san jose is 81 and morgan hill is 87. it will remain dry and breezy. anytime we get a combination of any sort of wind with the amount of dry brush out there it could bring elevated fire conditions but let's check out the gas prices are doing with mike. >> not bad, this week continues the trend of last week, $4.99 come here in union city, at abe gasoline on mission boulevard, great stuff, $5.19 is next on the list and that is the vallejo valero.

keep that in mind. and at north 509 in marin, gas in larkspur, get options right around five dollars, so let's get to the roads. great options for you as well as the speeds are basically at the limit. now down in the lower left corner, i'm sorry the sensors went back to closed but it isn't. miles kenyon reopened about a day early from the construction that was scheduled to continue until now it is gone but 580 is moving smoothly and no big deal on the altamont pass and getting to the bay bridge, nice smooth flow through custer county venetia bridge and 680 across the water has been called out by chp, maybe a little dusty. back to you. >> thank you. now when it comes to dealing with sky high inflation, coming up on today in the bay, what you can do to help escape rising prices and save the most money on everyday household items. >> americans are saying do something about inflation. doing something can be very painful and it will happen again this week. we will take a look.

it is 5:14 right now, 57 in san jose but the temperature training this afternoon will be warm and inland areas, and we are talking about the air quality did an air quality advisory is in effect because of drifting smoke and we will talk more about that coming up. >> oakland 880 looking at a smooth drive, a good amount of traffic here. we are at the limit heading into hayward and headed towards the bay bridge. we will show how things are shaping up for that longer drive coming up. >> good morning and very happy monday to you. a busy week ahead. alphabet, amazon, apple and microsoft all report profits this week but a lot of companies are reporting much better profits than you might expect in this economically weird time. kind of a serious story about gamestop. this is the store chain that sells video games and loses

money doing it. it started to sell enough to use, the digital assets that a lot of people have a lot of doubts about. one of the nfts they were featuring for sale over the weekend was a variation of the falling man image from 9/11. i will not show it to you and hope you remember it but it was a photograph of a man who jumped from the north tower to his death it was one of the most memorable and awful photographs from that day. gamestop did not respond or question about why it thought it was appropriate to sell that on its site, and it still hasn't gotten back to us. but it did take the image down. unusual step for disney over the weekend as it started showing r-rated movies on his disney plus scription service. you may not have noticed until now. it started with the movie deadpool. if the kids use this to her waist to set up parental controls elon musk denying a report in the wall street journal had a personal relationship with the wife of the google founder

the cause their divorce. the journal says that relationship caused the google founder to sever his business ties with musk. he mailed musk and test out during the global financial crisis and musk tweeting this is total bs. sergei and i are friends and we were at the party together last night but i've only seen nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. nothing romantic. i mentioned it is a busy week coming in is a big deal this week because the fed will start meeting tomorrow and it will and wednesday with a probable interest rate hike. the heavy bet is on a three- quarter percent hike. the fed is looking at inflation numbers that are running even hotter than expected. some wonder if a full point might be in order. you will hear a lot of talk about how this will indirectly affect what you pay on credit cards, certainly we have seen home mortgages go up. where you will see it and feel it is in the economy itself. if you are paying a 17% credit card interest rate, and let's say goes up to 18, that isn't

your biggest concern. your biggest concern is your job. and the health of the company you work for and what clients and customers that it has. those sorts of things that should be top on your mind but the idea is to slow down the economy and cause pain. they are trying to cause pain to try to bring inflation down. >> you sound like a trainer at the gym. >> no pain, no gain bit or so i'm told. i'm not saying i'm a couch potato. >> murphy's law. >> you know you were talk about the housing market. too often these days the cost of household items are quickly piling up. but there are ways to strategize. soaring inflation as scott was talking about, hitting prices across the board. see nbc's dominic to talk to the dj show about certain ways to handle the inflation. so inflation proof household items, including waiting for flash sales at the local

grocery store. >> build up a certain cash cushion, and when you can become opportunistic about take advantage of sales you know you will use for products you will know you use. >> we also will look at household items that have remained steady and cost this past year and that is on the today show coming up at 7:00 this morning right after us here on today in the bay. trending this morning a sweet job description with a six-figure salary. >> let's talk about this. how would you like to get paid just in candy all day? dentists might say different. candy fun house is an online retailer based in canada you name it, they have it. and now this youtube clip is part of a post for the so- called chief candy officer. the job description includes tasting thousands of products each month to help the company decide what to sell and the

annual salary? $100,000. no joke here, eligible candidates can be as young as five years old. and they work from home. >> they are five years old so they have to work from home. >> but with a $100,000 on they could get you an apartment and move you there. but, we are hoping, and it did not say, hopefully there is insurance for dental. you will need it. >> think about it, i know you all have kids, college is coming up and it could pay. >> so true. >> with freshman 15, how would you get there? >> he has got a sensitive tummy that he really does. he is a rescue.

but, it is cloudy outside, we have marine layer and look at san francisco, this is a live look. that fog will help keep some of the smoke we will be seeing drift into the bay area within this area for now but look, we're seeing fog pushing into vallejo, even into parts of san jose and into the interior, definitely foggy. as far as temperatures we wake up to the 50s, mild and not too cold. 52 in morgan hill, 58 into fremont, san mateo is 56 but remember there is the wildfire advisory did the reason for that smoke advisory is because of the oak fire burning nearby. we will get a lot of upper air smoke that will continue to move west. as you head into the afternoon you could see the return of hazy skies and the orange glow. a lot of that will into the s

areas of south lake tahoe. so be mindful of that heading into the seer this week. so the hazy skies with dry conditions will mean temperatures today are up in the upper 70s and upper 80s into parts like concord where it is 88, and will stay dry and breezy through the hills with self and thoughtless wind 10 to 20+ miles per hour. tomorrow we will get some cooling, but there will still be elevated fire danger. because we are dealing with really low humidity. not a lot of recovery overnight. and then those breezy conditions continue heading into wednesday. you look at 70s and 80s, it is still pretty warm. there's a little slight chance of us shower activity, mainly for the sierra, early tuesday morning. so tomorrow you could see that and the possibility of thunder, because of monsoonal moisture from the desert southwest. we will keep a close eye on that. the most we will feel from that is cloud cover heading into the

week ahead. we are talking 60s with hazy skies and the air-quality advisory. mike how are the roads? spirit doing well and we look at the roads below the clouds, these have never been a problem for drivers and i saw a flashing light westbound across the span but no report on any problems from chp on their grid and i have seen traffic continued to move smoothly the last five to seven minutes. good news across the bay bridge. there is a disabled vehicle they may have been helping on 280 south bound but it should not be a problem. in fact, plenty of work crews on the san francisco side help that, we will keep track of the bay bridge all morning, and right now no problems on highway 4 across the venetia bridge, a little wind advisory from chp on that stretch but i have to change those sensors as they keep going to read it but the canyon is open from the weekend work. >> i will lend you a screwdriver. >> next on today in the bay, nbc bay area responds.

fire, apple tv, and online. >> annoying to you and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your morning, i marcus washington. >> and i'm kris sanchez, a lot to get to this monday morning and we get started with the firefighters and doing all out battle to gain control of the oak fire burning near yosemite. more than 15,000 acres are burned already that there is a lot of dry brush fueling those claims. >> the bigger the fire gets the more chance it will impact our air-quality. meteorologist vianey arana is here and it is a stunning satellite imagery we were seeing a moment ago and it shows just how big the impact the smoke is having. >> it really is, shows how big the severe fire weather is an that is air that is going vertically, and as far as impacts go in the bay area, we will be seeing hazy skies making their return as the

upper air smoke moves west. a lot of the impact will be higher above, not necessarily at the surface so while you may see that smoke high above, you may not feel it or smell it. keep those windows close because the direction of the wind lays a role in this as well. as far as the oak fire weather outlook, no improvements. we have seen pretty much no recovery in the humidity overnight. the winds remained breezy through the afternoon and even the overnight temperatures were in the 60s and 70s. today's daytime highs will be the mid-80s and that low humidity continues, and with dry conditions that will be always an area of concern throughout the entire state of california as we remain under in extreme drought. no more to the local forecast in a few minutes, but we have to check the roads with mike. spirit is earlier disabled vehicle we talked about may result in a traffic break for those heading south on 280 out of south san francisco, might just be an issue but it should be a few minutes and actively make quick work.

that is just off 101. now the arrow shows you the top of the screen and predict it slowing as we typically see come highway 37 out of alejo. i have circled the venetian bridge, chp call that out saying they did get a few gusts of wind for their cruisers, so you might as well. the rest of the bay moves smoothly, a lot of longer drive out of altamont pass, san jose just selling showing some for the north 101. but no big deal. developing this morning, the search is still on for the shooter were shooters that killed a father of three in the north bay, two others are injured. this happened early yesterday on cole drive in the marin city neighborhood. no stranger to homicides this year. today in thfor us. any information? >>the latest information we heard was from yesterday and this is the

second homicide of the year for this marin city community, and the tragedy hits close to home, neighbors are frightened remaining and demanding more be done to keep them safe and the victim yesterday was his father of three, 42-year-old michael rogers, and we have lunch he was walking to his car with his wife to take her to work when he was shot early sunday morning. you see the victim's mother yesterday just devastated upon learning the new spirit she did not want to go on camera but she tells nbc bay area that the victim's wife was grazed by bullets. she says there were at least three suspects, and one of them she believes it ran right across her home on cedar drive did this has not been confirmed by investigators. neighbors woke up to the gunshots and they fear this will not be the last victim to gun violence from their community. >> all i saw was the girl on the ground who was kind of crawling like a military person, that is all i saw i was like oh my god. this is not good. >> this is ridiculous, the kids

and have to go through this and the kids another lose their moms and their dads and families. everybody. >> marin county deputies confirmed that there were a total of three victims, two of which were found near the vehicle, including the person who died. deputies have not said where the third victim was found, or, if the third victim knew the other victims, or the shooter or shooters involved. the motive to this crime is still unknown. live in marin county, ginger conejero saab , today in the bay. >> so tough for a lot of people that are dealing with all of this, ginger thank you now a follow-up on a group of southbay students that were stuck overseas who are now scheduled to fly home today. saratoga high school orchestra members traveling through eastern europe became stranded last week when lufthansa airlines canceled their flights home. at one point the airline said that group could not rebook the flights until next month. the

parents of one of the students were concerned, because their child was heading off to college soon and so they booked a way back for him separately. >> each day it would be like we will have an update and we were trying to stay positive, but at the same time nervous but and given the fact we have a few more weeks left with our son before he goes to college, we were all hitting the panic button. >> a few other students to do the same thing and they got home saturday night, the rest of the group will land later today at sfo. pope francis is in canada this morning and he is making that trip, in large part to offer an apology for abuses carried out by missionaries at indigenous schools. the pope's visit comes amid speculation about his own future the vatican, as his own personal health issues linger on. today in the bay jay gray live in edmonton with more on this historic journey, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you , kris, and the pope is expected to make a formal

apology a bit later this morning as he makes his first public speech of this trip . it is while he will be visiting with survivors, as well as indigenous leaders at one of those former residential schools. it is the start of a six-day trip for the pope. and it does, come as you talk about, as he continues to struggle with both mobility and health problems. a traditional honor welcome as pope francis arrived in canada for what he calls a pilgrimage of penance. indigenous leaders the pontiff will apologize for abuses, including accusations residential schools. >> and for all indigenous people throughout the world who were colonized and christianized, sometimes forcibly, violently, at to have somebody come and express their sincere apology is quite meaningful. >> the holy father making the

journey after canceling a planned trip to the congo and the south sudan in july. >> i tremendously appreciate the fact he's coming here to canada to try to heal some of those wounds. >> confined to a wheelchair for months now, francis has missed several papal events this year, leading to speculation he may step down as the leader of the roman catholic faith. but the pope insists, quoting here, god is not asking me to resign. the vatican does acknowledge that it 85 years old i met with his physical issues, the pope's public appearances during his six days in canada will be limited. and his public schedule does include significant downtime for resting. throughout his trip the pope's appearances will be restricted and he will likely only be in public for about one hour or so each time he makes those appearances. so kris, they're doing everything they can to try to

protect his health as he makes is very important trip . >> sure it is hard for him and he doesn't want to talk about it, he wants to focus on the issues, let's not focus on me i would assume. but with that limited schedule will the pope be able to celebrate one of the public masses people really love? >> reporter: you are right, he has made it clear he doesn't want to talk about his health issues, and he wants the focus this down what the reason was he was here for and you without reps on sunday when he arrived the mass would be then. but he need to get rest after that trip. tomorrow it will be at the commonwealth with tens of thousands expected in the stadium. there is a separate stadium where it will be broadcast on a large screen, thousands are expected there as well. and really, other than the apology, which is the keynote of this trip, it is that mass a lot of people are looking forward to. it's be absolutely, as a catholic myself i do know.

thank you. happening now release is finally coming today for tens of millions of americans sweltering and record heat. a huge chunk of the northeast spent the weekend baking and triple digit temperatures slightly cooler weather is set to arrive this morning, but parts of the pacific northwest are now under heat warnings and it will stick around for most of the week. meteorologist vianey arana is in this morning for kari, and things here are quite a bit milder . >> yes when you look at the current temperatures across the board compared our temperatures, if you look you are waking up to 50's. then you have areas down through dallas that is already at 80 for, and through boston it is 82 and new york city 82. they are still under a heat advisory to remain in place until about 5:00 p.m. through the east coast. if you look at daytime highs today this will be a little bit of a relief compared to the triple digit temperatures that climbed into the hundreds setting new daily records, and also it was paired with a really high humidity. so the

heat index was also really high. we have triple digits and areas like dallas and oklahoma city. today the daytime highs here will get warm. but if you look at a 78 compared to how the rest of the nation is doing, it's nice to get a little bit of relief. when it comes to the fog around the coast but i will have a full look of the forecast just a few minutes, let's check with mike. >> web traffic and building at the bay bridge toll plaza, no surprises but no metering lights just yet, just as we forecast every day. 37 showing a little flowing out of vallejo but that's really all we have a tiny little bit of build on highway 4. this will go on for the longer-term eastbound 80, right now you are at speed but as volume builds, even as early as 10:00 this morning, you'll see slower traffic for emeryville and

through the right lane which is still blocking, even though they had the weekend closure with three lanes they sought to continue repair work after last week's crash into that over crossing. that may continue through september and we will continue to give you updates oakland athletics place tonight at 6:40 so that may me traffic getting to the area after work, and traffic through this area of on a monday. now back to you. san francisco's newly formed school board already facing serious heat, new calls for one recently appointed member to step down already. and her response to us this morning. the la te
