to the bay bridge off of 880, out of the maze, down off the east shore freeway. that's from the oakland side. oakland schools come back today as well and as schools come back over the next month spread out around the bay area it will change the flow of traffic and probably delay for each of the school districts. we'll keep shouting them out but for now no major issues. back to you. >> thank you, mike. an east bay everyone of furniture store waking up to a really big headache. a car just smashed right into the showroom, it happened a little bit before 11:00 last night. fortunately nobody was there as dupuis's furniture score on east 14th near castro and civil streets. towed that car. only the driver was involved and so far, no word on injuries or how or why this happened. new calls for more help from the federal government to fight monkeypox and later today,

dublin and 77 in mountain view. as we look at what's happening, that monsoon moisture staying just to the east of us. we have a chance some of the showers and storms may pop up over the sierra. here we are looking at drier conditions, much more comfortable air. it will start to get slightly hotter as we head toward the weekend. we're going from low 80s today to low 90s by friday into saturday, but not much of a change in san francisco at times, that fog and clouds keeps the temperatures cooler, mostly upper 60s here. mike, you're looking at a crash in fremont? >> le me give everybody else a look at free-throw ways, mostly calm and clear. a number of crashes popped up in the last few minutes. the one on the grid the longest southbound 680 around andrade. reports a car is overturned there, may mean over in the ditch on the side of the road at an angle but we'll see how things go. there's no slowing and no major injuries reported. we hope it stays that way.

we'll track it. there is more traffic coming here off of 84 building off of vallecitos and another crash reported just south of there as you are passing by the mission boulevard north exit. we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic through contra costa county and toward the bay bridge. no big concerns but a little blip already on westbound 37 through vallejo. back to you >> thanks, mike. next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> it's easy to buy those back-to-school supplies from the comfort of your couch but will they arrive in time for the first day of school? i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you what outeam we'll show you what outeam founr d, go with simparica trio it's triple protection made simple! simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable

good morning. take a look at this national retail federation survey, online shopping is the most popular place to buy back-to-school supplies. the web beat out department stores, big box stores, office supply, clothing stores. we wondered how long it takes to deliver an online order. >> california, we're still facing supply chain challenges. >> reporter: so what about school supplies? how quickly can you get them? target, amazon and staples told us there's same-delay delivery. don't count on it for your whole cart. same-day delivery is for qualifying items and qualifying

locations. look out for fees. we did an informal test order, same-day delivery of our items was free at staples and $9.99 extra at target. what if you don't want to pay for same-didlafr delivery? expect to wait a few days. quick, one-kay shipping for many basic items like paper, crayons or backpacks about you if you need specific products or brands, watch out. we found some pens for example that had a 9 to 14-day wait. the lesson here? don't procrastinate too close to the first day of school. consider picking the order up yourself at a store. >> you can order it. you can drive up, make a phone call, they run it out to you. >> reporter: some stores might have your order ready in a couple hours. tomorrow we have a penny-pinching showdown. can you save money buying supplies at the dollar store? see you then. >> thanks, chris. >> we are listening. next, top stories we're following today including the

>> i want to take a closer look at the forecast. who else do we turn to, meteorologist kari hall with a look at that. >> we're starting off with a few clouds. san jose is clear and humid but we're going to see really nice weather today. look at our trend going from low 60s at the start of the morning to the upper 70s heading into later today so it's going to be very comfortable, windows open, nice breeze coming through. overall temperatures are cooler across the bay area. one of the cooler days of the week with concord headed for 86 degrees. we'll see a high of 81 in santa rosa. mike, you're taking us back to fremont. >> that's right. most of the sensors are green as we would expect. we go to fremont, kari, because we had a couple of crashes. one i talked about, southbound 680 at andrade, it hadn't materialized into think slowing. the car should be on the shoulder, maybe off into a ditch on the side. the one farther south is a concern, reportedly involves a motorcycle and that's just about the washington boulevard exit so

watch that headed into the irvington district. we're looking for some slowing again watching for updates on any injuries. none reported so far. we're looking at a little more slowing out of the altamont. the bottom number at 24 coming from grant line road and then vasco road starting to build the commute a little bit so a little more slowing, not bad. there we go, just turned to 20 minutes from marsh creek down to 580 itself. back to you. >> thank you, mike. all across the bay area, students are going to start heading back to school soon. many districts begin this week a lot of districts begin next week, but a lot of classrooms will be short-staffed and some districts are still struggling to fill a lot of open positions. >> insiders say that your child may end up in a class with an unaccredited or unprepared teach are or worse some classrooms may have to stay closed. ginger conjajero is here with

more. >> reporter: california schools are struggling to fill all teaching positions before the pandemic started. the struggle doesn't seem to be getting any easier and the consequences are seen throughout the bay area public schools. look at some of the numbers, 600,000 u.s. teachers quit between the start of 2020 and february of this year. some retired early while others decided to leave the profession all together. here in the bay area, teachers tell us the pandemic has taken a physical and emotional toll on many and making it in the bay is difficult if not impossible for many teachers. the result? teachers leaving the profession. in exit surveys, teachers cite the challenges of the pandemic, distance learning and the difficulty of students returning with greater mental health needs. now because there were fewer teachers available last year, one in five california classrooms was led by a teacher who was underprepared, not yet

credentials or out of their fields or ineffective. and here's more proof of that issue, san francisco unified is struggling to fill some 100 vacant positions by august 17th. oakland unified which has some kids returning to classes today is scrambling to fill 40 vacant teaching positions. we spoke to sasha rockwell a teacher from oakland unified set to go on maternity leave in september. she says finding substitute teachers are also a problem. >> from my position, for my five months' leave to fill that leave, it will mean taking out of classroom staff out of that role and into the substitute teacher role, so the idea right now for my role is to split it among two out-of-classroom staff. >> reporter: these are just some of the districts facing the

struggle. according to teacher assignment data released in june, oakland unionified had underprepared teachers in 42% of their classes, 19% in san francisco unionified, 13% in san jose. sausalito schools had more than half of the classes led by underprepared teachers. california is putting funds toward teacher recruitment. $500 million in golden state teacher grants to attract candidates in high-need fields like special ed and math. another $350 million for teacher residency programs and $1.5 billion in educator effectiveness grants for professional development. to attract more teachers here in san francisco, sf unified is holding job fairs and offering bonuses for bilingual and special ed. teachers. 'district can't quickly hire teachers? >> we're also starting to look at closing some classrooms if we don't have a full class, don't have full enrollment and

finally, starting to take the very difficult step of looking at using other district staff to cover classrooms until we're able to hire. we're committed to having a teacher in every classroom on the first day of school to welcome students. >> as a head of state school board association put it, recruitment is one part of the struggle. this is a deepening problem for the bay area and nationwide. >> there are different requirements, some districts changing their ratios of what they want in the classroom so they need more teachers. it's a difficult challenge. thank you so much, ginger. new overnight, police are investigating a late night shooting out of east oakland. it happened a little after 11:00 last night on 84th avenue. a couple blocks from

international boulevard. one police officer at the scene told us one person was shot but no word on the severity of that person's injuries and the department so far not giving us updates. new details in the search for a 16-year-old girl last seen at tahoe area campground. deputies are treating the disappearance as an abduction. 16-year-old kylie rodnei went missing early saturday morning. it took place at the placer campground. she's 5'7", hazel eyes, may be wearing a black tank top with green dickies pants. authorities in placer county posted an emotional message from the girl's mother. >> is anybody else out there, if you know where she is, if you know anything about where she might be, if you have any ideas or not, please, please come forward and share them.

>> kylie's car is also missing. it's a silver 2013 honda crv with the license plate 8yur127. the placer county sheriff's office is hoping anyone that knows something will let them know. >> poor mother. to a weekend for a dinner area soaked weekend. look here. the heavy rain there triggered some flash flooding, stranding about a dozen people under a freeway. in some cases the people had to abandon their cars. >> meteorologist kari hall, mid-august no, shot for rain. >> no shot for rain here but we've seen it firing up in the sierra to the east of us. we're seeing across the region the monsoon moisture coming in that's been giving us very active weather, but you can also see that system has moved past denver and some of the rain is off to the south and east of there. as you're heading out in palo alto, temperatures in the low 60s. we're seeing a lot more clouds. it's going to be a mild start to

the day, but also a very comfortable afternoon, even though we're starting off with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies it's going to turn bright and sunny. our typical start to our summer days as we head for the mid to upper 70s here and some upper 70s for san jose, but you head down to san martin, it reaches 86 degrees and 6 in concord and low 80s for much of the north bay, but we'll talk about some warmer temperatures in our forecast. mike, you're tracking traffic now and later. >> kari, right now we're looking at a little more slowing highway 4, not a surprise coming into concord. we had that 37 slowing for vallejo toward merritt island. a little better through petaluma, farther north, the carpool lanes completed and today is the first commute day where the carpool lanes are fully open they've been working on through petaluma. you don't have the construction there either. you have construction here, this easing tonight actually from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., the following morning, all week

we'll have the off-ramp at second closed here off of northbound 101. they're continuing to work on the harbor bridge. we know that project in the area t shouldn't be a major problem but note if that is your specific exit. a's game time at 6:40 tonight, traditional slowing before and after the game after rush hour. we're continuing to follow the crashes in fremont, no slowing shows up, got a little more detail to show with you coming up. back to you. >> thank you, mike. forgiving student loans. next on "today in the bay," the all new push to inform eligible californians about one relief program and the looming deadline you need to know about. and the senate passes the inflation reduction act. does it reduce inflation? or is it all an act? we'll take a look. first our back-to-school coverage continues with our morning announcements from bay area school superintendents. >> my name is john malloy, i'm the superintendent in the san ramon valley unified school

district. we are very much looking forward to this new school year. we aren't actually trying to do any new things this year, but what we're focusing on is the importance of connecting. we need relationships to continue to move forward. we're focusing on the importance of creating, we want to improve, based upon the excellent funation we already have and focusing on celebrating, because we know that so many great things happen in our district, with our students and our staff and our community, and frankly, with what we've gone through the last two years, we've decided that that is where we are headed and that is where we are focused as we begin the '22-'23 school year. >> thank you, dr. malloy. we'll show all different districts all week long on "today in the bay" and watch all the superintendents morning announcements on

680 fremont is farther east, two crashes we're tracking but chp has issued an alert. we'll check on the traffic flow but i'll tell you why we have the alert. developing for you right now in mexico, growing belief that a recent string of deadly shootings targeting muslim men may be connected. there's a new clue, investigators are hoping this may solve the mystery. the latest happened friday night, followed the deadly shooting one week ago. since last november, four men have been shot and killed. the mayor of albuquerque say law enforcement agencies are working together to ensure no one else is killed and arrest is made. >> we heard from the community that the fear is so strong, they're concerned about things like groceries and getting meals for certain folks in certain areas of town. >> in some cases, volunteers are helping neighbors get things that they need and police are increasing patrols around mosques and schools. investigators have also released photos of a vehicle that may be

connected, a dark gray or silver volkswagen, they believe it's either a jetta or passat. president biden will leave delaware this morning to head to kentucky. >> and scott, flooding in kentucky has really been disastrous out there. >> just awful. it's just tragic, right? the president and first lady will visit survivors and meet with rescuers today in shavies between lexington, kentucky, and knoxville, tennessee. kentucky governor andy bashir visited with evacuees over the weekend. president biden's last visit to kentucky was back in december, when tornadoes killed 77 people. back in washington, the senate has passed the inflation reduction act, which pushes green energy and reduces medicare drug costs. the official government accountants who don't take sides say they're not sure it really will reduce inflation overall, but it should bring some drug prices down.

now the bill was absolutely partisan with all republicans voting against it, all democrats voting for it, and the vice president breaking the tie. now the bill forced corporations to pay a 15% minimum tax if they make more than $1 billion. it does not tax you, unless you make $1 billion a year. the bill invests more than $300 billion to fight climate change, the biggest effort ever in american history, and it extends tax credits for electric cars and solar and also does this, lowers some costs for seniors by allowing washington to negotiate drug prices for medicare, an effort to cap prices on insulin failed when all republicans voted against it. they say they did this because it broke the rules, something called reconciliation. you know what? they're right, it did, but the victory's going to be hard to explain to voters who want a price cap on insulin.

something else that failed was limiting the so-called s.a.l.t. tax deductions, that failure hurts californians. it was democrat kyrsten sinema ma saw the s.a.l.t. reduction continued. she was insisting they delete a section that would have increased a tax on hedge funds. i'm not going to explain carried interest but a number of years ago we explained it by using the economics of a lemonade stand. i'll post that segment to facebook and on to twitter. where do you find me on twitter, right there on twitter

[ laughter ] >> all right, so we're starting out this morning, great weather. we had such a nice weekend. there was a lot of sunshine, comfortable temperatures and take a look at this view from dublin this morning, we are waiting for the sun to kind of

peek over the hills there and we are going to have a lot of sunshine into the rest of today as our temperatures stay down. we're in the upper 50s right now. you need a light jacket for the start of the day but look at the rest of the day, once we become mostly sunny and the clouds start to roll away, we'll see temperatures in the low 70s with dublin headed for 78 degrees, not bad, right? all these temperatures a little bit cooler than what we typically see for the beginning of august with san jose reaching 77 degrees. 73 in oakland, the kids heading back to school today, and 78 in napa. let's head to tomorrow, it's still going to be pleasant, with a lot of our valley temperatures in the low to mid 80s, we're keeping the 60s near the coast and san francisco. wednesday, notice that the temperatures come up a few degrees for a few spots, especially like morgan hill, reaching 87 degrees, and 88 in fairfield, with santa rosa reaching 82 degrees, now that's going to be the trend as we head toward the end of the week as we

start to see some more of that monsoon moisture coming into parts of the southwest and to the sierra. we're going to keep that dry air that we've had from over the weekend into today, and once again our temperatures just come up a few degrees but nothing really significant here, and we take a look at our inland seven-day forecast so for a lot of our inland areas, we go from low to mid 80s today to low 90s for the weekend so we'll be a little bit warmer as you make weekend plans but there still be a cool coastline with san francisco near 70 degrees. mike, you were tracking a crash. what's going on? >> kari, we thought it was two crashes. chp sorted it out it's one crash and also an alert. look at the rest of the bay, pick out your spot, typical slowing building in san francisco -- san jose. the tri-valley as folks come out of the altamont off the dublin interchange, maybe out of contra costa county there was a big slowdown that happened here in the fremont/sunol area because

of the crash south 680 just past 84 so basically between the two reports, that's where the crash is. the buildup coming in out of vallecitos and that means more traffic coming off the altamont pass, we'll get congested here. we're tracking that. no major injuries and only one lane blocked but there's flares out. we'll see how long they to take to clear the car on its side. the metering lights were turned on at the bay bridge, activated, just a tad bit of slowing with oakland schools starting today we may see a disruption to the flow coming through and out of oakland for the next couple of mornings. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, san ramon city leaders are considering approving development funding for multimillion-dollar bridge construction plan. if the agreement with the tri-valley transportation council is given the green light that, money would go towards the construction of the iron horse trail bicycle and pedestrian crossing at bollinger canyon road. city leaders plan to vote on the proposal tomorrow. back in december san ramon approved $1 million to send to
