here we go, friday morning, and the team is here this morning to get you through the day. thanks so much for allowing us to be a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia, who is off today. mike is going to give us a look at the commute in a few minutes but we want to start with a look at the forecast because we have plans this weekend. >> yeah, there's so much going on if you don't have plans, we'll help you out here. let's get you started and off to work in dublin. we are starting out with a clear sky and temperatures in the upper 50s this morning. it's a cool start and slowly warming up with a comfortable afternoon headed our way, reaching 81 degrees there. these temperatures very much like what we've had recently, reaching 87 in morgan hill, but 78 in san jose. oakland headed for 77 degrees and 83 in napa. santa rosa much warmer reaching 88 degrees, while half moon bay will see a high of 68 degrees, not only do we have football

coming back but we have festivals and car shows. there's so much going on. we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. >> looking forward to it, thanks, kari. the stakes are getting dramatically higher this morning, this is in the showdown between former president trump and the justice department. this is over the search of his mar-a-lago home. >> attorney general merrick garland asked a judge to release information from that warrant and the details about the information and evidence that was seized. a new report overnight indicates exactly what fbi agents might have been looking for. "today in the bay's" jay gray is live in washington following all of those developments. jay, it might not be what people were expecting to hear. >> i think you're right, kris, marcus, good to talk to you this morning. a report in "the washington post" overnight indicates that sources told them federal agents were looking for nuclear documents, information about nuclear weapons, not clear if

it's u.s. weapons or perhaps another country's weapons but that was one of the highly classified things that they were looking for during that search. let's walk through it. the week started with the search and seizure in florida. next, there was a deposition on a separate civil investigation, and now in just hours, we may find out a lot more about what the former president calls a raid at mar-a-lago as the partisan rhetoric and threats surrounding this situation intensify. attorney general merrick garland ratcheting up the legal pressure on former president donald trump, asking a federal judge to unseal the search warrant and list of items seized by the fbi at mar-a-lago. >> in light of the former president's public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter. >> reporter: mr. trump acknowledging online overnight, he won't block the release of the information. the unparalleled action by garland coming after days of baseless speculation, unfounded

accusations by the former president and his allies and stepped up increasingly violent rhetoric online. >> i will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. >> reporter: aimed at the fbi, department of justice and other law enforcement agencies. >> when you talk like this, it doesn't sound like you're pro-cop. it sounds like you're pro-coup. >> reporter: thursday there was an attack on the fbi field office in cincinnati. >> subject supposed to be armed, with body armor. fired several shots at officers. >> reporter: the suspect ricky schiffer, died after a shoot-out with police. nbc news confirming schiffer was at the capitol during the january 6th insurrection and following his search at mar-a-lago, posted on social media urging others to engage in violence and to be ready for "combat." also this morning, reports the identity of the judge who signed off on the search warrant along

with his home address with names of his family members, including his children is posted alongside threats of violence on social media, so marcus, kris, a lot unfolding here. >> we will be watching to see how it turns out. jay gray this morning in wash wash, thank you. we want to take a live look at the capitol, where the house is expected to vote this afternoon on the inflation reduction act. this offers a number of tax credits for people switching to cleaner energy sources, including electric vehicles and rooftop solar panels. it also includes a cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for seniors in the medicare program. the bill was approved by the senate last weekend and expected to be passed by the house and then head to the president next week. he is expected to sign it into law. vice president kamala harris today continues her bay area visit. yesterday in san francisco she hosted a roundtable on reproductive rights. today she heads over to oakland announce a $50 million

empowerment to support low-income students called the generation fund. she'll also be meeting with leaders in the commercial space sector to talk about space travel and transport. this morning, we have new concerns over legionnaire's disease, the bacteria that causes legionnaire's disease traced to two more sites in napa county. one of those sites is located at the county hall of justice in downtown napa. the other location in a pond at the embassy suites hotel in napa. the pond is located at the same hotel where the bacteria was found in a cooling tower earlier this month. dr. peter chin-hong says it's unusual to have outbreaks traced to more than one site. >> you'd want to know if these sites that seem to be in different locations were connected by a common factor, like maybe they came from the same main, maybe the water that fed both of these places are connected. >> napa county health leaders

are reporting that 13 people were diagnosed with legionnaire's and one person did die. symptoms of legionnaire's include cough, fever or difficulty breathing, and if it's caught early, it can be treated with antibiotics. >> 6:05 for you this morning. moving you forward on back to school which for children and parents may have a lot more weight to it in the wake of covid. but you know what? the president of the state board of education says the main thing families, just relax. >> when people are anxious, when they're wo they're, you know, going to be compared to someone else or found to be in deficit or soarng. so the most important thing we cado f our kids is create these settings where they feel supported, safe and able to learn. >> dr. darlene hammond leads the independent learning policy institute. she says its students are performing better than they did five years ago even accounting for the dip in 2020 and even though the pandemic meant taking

extreme measures, inspiring teachers should stay the course. >> there's been a 30% increase in funding for education, so that means working conditions are getting better, salaries have been improving. >> california is budgeting historic funding for education $128 billion in all, that means nearly $8 billion for learning recovery emergency fund, which can be used for tutoring, reading assistance and mental health. also $184 million for teacher residencies and $85 million to develop math teachers. let the games begin and the tailgates for that matter, 49ers football is back and tonight the faithful make their first journey to levi's stadium for the season, and hopefully the first step in a super bowl run. gee, you might see a lot of changes this season. >> oh gee, if t is. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live outside of levi's.

looks like trey lance, it's his team now. >> reporter: of course, the 49ers have officially named him as the new starting quarterback, trey lance to replace jimmy garoppolo. we asked nbc bay area sports 49ers insider matt maiocco to give us his thoughts on what lance needs to do to be successful in his first year as starting, of course his second year with the team. maiocco points out a lot of new quarterbacks end up on bad teams and have to do everything by themselves. he believes that is not the case with the niners and trey lance has a good supporting cast in the likes of deebo samuel and george kittle and a good defense to boot. >> what trey lance has to figure out and this is something that's been kind of hammered home to him is that he doesn't have to do it all by himself. all he has to do is just take care of his business and not make the big mistakes and the 49ers should be fine. they should be able to compete

for the division title, and compete for a playoff spot and if the team stays healthy throughout the season, i would say that they have as good a chance as any to make a run to the super bowl. >> reporter: the thought with lance was that he was going to transition last year into the starting position to replace jimmy g., but garoppolo hit that winning streak that ultimately took the niners to the nfc championship game. with regards to the status of jimmy garoppolo, maiocco thinks it's too late for the niners to trade him to another team. he believes it's a matter of holding onto him so he doesn't go to a divisional opponent to seattle. there are still tickets for tonight's first preseason game at leeveigh's stadium against the grown bay packers. the kickoff is at 5:30. reporting live at levi's stadium in santa clara, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> fun night ahead. thanks, bob. you can hear more about the 49ers and the upcoming preseason

inland, i'm going to go to the beach. it's going to be cold and foggy at times. take a look at san francisco, at least we're seeing the sun kind of peeking out from behind the clouds, but we will see it rolling through for the next couple of hours before it clears out. let's head to the south bay and zoom into san jose, where the temperature will reach 78 degrees, but if you drive a few miles, it will be in the upper 80s and we can see the range in temperatures from antioch reaching 92 today to 86 in martinez, and 75 in hayward, along the coastline we're in the upper 60s in half moon bay. daly city reaching 68 degrees and 80 in palo alto. even in san francisco, it's ranging from mid-60s in the outer sunset to low 70s in the mission district and our north bay highs reaching into the low 80s for mill valley, 92 in clear lake but we're still keeping the 60s along the coastline. and also tomorrow morning if you're up early, you want to just enjoy a little bit of that time before the sun rises and

maybe catch a few of the meteors with the percent yad meteor shower and unfortunately there's still the full moon that's going to be going on, that may block the view of some of the meteors but there's a possibility you could see 50 to 100 per hour. going towards next week, more clouds moving in especially for southern california, look at all the green here, that shows mid level moisture and moves very close to the bay area, but most likely by next tuesday it's going to start to not only get hotter but feel more muggy.

"today in the bay's" ginger cone conejero saab is here with what the kids need to know before

headed to the classroom. >> reporter: it's forward and away from the earlier days of the pandemic. it's been several months since we heard from the cdc and updated guidelines when it comes to covid. they're moving away from the measures we've gotten to in the last two and a half years. you no longer have to quarantine if you come into close contact with someone who is sick. wear a mask and take a test day five. if you test positive for covid, stay home for at least five days. once day five hits you can stop isolating but keep masking until day ten. there are also some changes for your children at school. the cdc removed the recommendation that different classrooms should avoid mixing or cohorting, and also done away with test to stay which means that kids who are in contact with someone who tested positive for covid need to regularly test

negative to remain in the classroom. health experts say the move away from restrictive measures shows the agency is making the point covid is here to stay. >> the last guidelines we had for school were back in may, so we're talking three months later and in pandemic time, that's a long period of time. we have a lot of things that have changed since then, particularly the ba.5 variant turned out to be a stable variant is happening. we know more about masking, people have gotten tired of masking and tired of all the rules and guidelines they have out there so i think the cdc is make these a little more simplified, a little easier to understand. >> reporter: if you think you have been infected, you can take a pcr test or you can take those at-home antigen if you get a negative result, the fda says take three rapid antigen tests over a two to three-day period in order to rule out infection or a false negative. don't just stop at one. antigen tests are less likely to

detect the virus than the molecular tests like the pcr tests. they are quicker and easier but not always foolproof. keep that in mind when you are testing with antigen tests. keep them handy at home. marcus and kris? >> the government sends you some free ones so you can keep them handy. i have a few. every now and then i'll take a quick test. >> we borrowed one from a friend and paid her back. interesting times. placer county investigators are releasing a new image another one with hopes of tracking down missing 16-year-old kiely rodni. take a look here, she was last seen nearly one week ago at an outdoor party near truckee campground. authorities want you to look at the gold chains in the picture. they say she never took them off. the massive search effort so far is producing very few leads. she was last seen wearing green kick itties pants and a black tank top and a sweatshirt that somebody lent to her. that's the last image of her. there's now a $50,000 reward for information leading to her safe

return. also happening today, people in the east bay will hold a protest outside the contra costa county district attorney's office demanding that more happen to locate alexis gabe, the missing oakley woman who is now presumed dead. police believe her ex-boyfriend killed her and later died in a confrontation with seattle police. some believe his mother might have been an accessory. prosecutors chose not to file charges. that protest starts at 9:00 this morning. also today, the man accused in the recent attack of a former san francisco commissioner returns to court. that suspect, derek yervey has not entered a plea, he's facing felony charges including assault, battery and elder abuse. investigators say he brutally beat 70-year-old greg chu as chu walks south of market street ten days ago. prosecutors so far have not charged yervey with a hate crime because they say a motive is not yet clear.

joining us now is dr. charmain jackman. thanks for joining us. let's talk about why it's so important to meet kids where they are when it comes to their feelings. >> absolutely, and thank you for having me. so one of the things that i always say, think about back-to-school, the academics, the masks, the reading and writing but another skill is lifelong skills in schools, the children's emotional literacy, and that is the ability to name and express your feelings positively, so that helps with problem-solving. it helps children communicate their feelings. it helps them build positive relationships, build good self-esteem. >> here in the bay area we are a diverse community. what can you tell us about what the study finds about how childrens needs are different? >> yes, so unfortunately thenoi yet but i want to share we do know the mental health of children and children of color in particular are really increasing. you know, part of that has come out of the pandemic, but children's mental health has always been an area that has not gotten as much attention as it deserves. what we're seeing is some of the data, is that children, black children in particular ages 5 to

12 have increases in suicide and those are doubling that of white children. we know from the structural issues, racism, police brutality, those are things that can play on the part in our culture, in our collective experiences, and also connect to collective trauma. >> children of all ages have feelings obviously but i think, i understand that you say middle school's a really good time to kind of get in there with your kids or the kids that you're coaching or the kids in your classrooms to kind of get them on the path toward talking about them? >> absolutely, and i'll just, you know, confess, i'm a mom of a middle schooler. >> me, too! >> and you know, that -- >> actually, no, high schoolers now. >> high schoolers, right, so you've been there. so if i need some tips from you -- but you know, this is a time, there's so much going on for them in their bodies, in their minds, they're navigating puberty, they're thinking about

identity, and they need resources of accurate information. they can often turn to their friends for information or social media, which you know those are not necessarily the most accurate sources of information or on line with your family values, so this is really an opportune time to build relationships with your children so that they know you are a trusted resource, that you can come to them regardless of what's on their mind. >> i did speak with dr. jackman about so much more, including a tool kit that you can use at home to talk with your kids, if you're a little stuck. sometimes it happens. if you want to see the full interview, you can watch it on roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and download the nbc bay area streaming app, under the "must see" playlist. 6:48 for you this morning. you remember the movie "jaws" how scared you were with that? imagine this, a monterey man opening up about his close encounter with a shark this

week. that shark in the waters near monterey bay aquarium. david stickler was paddle boarding on wednesday with his dog, brutus. the shark swam up, took a chunk out of the board. he says the mouth of that shark landed just inches from both his feet and his furry friend there, brutus. both were unhurt and he actually says he knew something was odd, even before that moment it happened. >> my thought was little whale, small whale, and as it went down and under, i watched the shadow go under but then it had a really sharp movement underneath me. that's when it hit the board and turned really hard, grabbed onto the front of the board and hit it hard and that was really jarring. >> to be able to tell that story. all right, he says this was the first time that he had been in pacific grove waters since the shark attack in the same area back in june, and in that case, that swimmer was seriously injured. the waters off there will reopen to swimmers tomorrow.

>> i mean, how big was that shark if he thought it was a whale? >> ooh. happening tonight, a show in the sky if the moon doesn't get in the way. the annual perseid meteor shower is expected to peak at 6:00 tonight. the best time to be watching will be early morning hours tomorrow, the day we get to finally sleep in, and full moon could be a problem. it could dim what's expected to be 50 to 100 shooting stars per hour. you should be able to see the show but it might be a little muted, compared to most years. we were camping one year, and just happened to see it out near -- >> that's my goal. >> so cool. >> yeah, i want to be somewhere camping, maybe yosemite or something for a meteor shower. i knew this year the moon would be full and won't be as spectacular. >> 100 is a lot. >> that's a lot, yeah. you still could see something. i saw something a couple days ago. could you see a couple of

meteors outside of that peak time but it's still going to be clear for many spots and let's talk about that forecast, because i know you're making plans for the weekend, and we're also seeing some clouds rolling by as you head off of work in berkeley. it is a mostly cloudy start, temperatures in the upper 50s. it will clear around 9:00 to 10:00 and as we go into today, really nice weather. we've had some comfortable temperatures for most of our microclimates the past few days. that continues today. oakland heads for 77 degrees. hayward will see a high of 75. we'll be in the mid 80s for livermore and heating up in fairfield, reaching 91 degrees. you head to the north bay, santa rosa reaching 88 degrees. seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. it will be slightly hotter for some of our valleys going into the weekend with fairfield reaching 96 degrees, but it will still be in the upper 60s for half moon bay and san francisco in the low 70s. on sunday, we are once again going to see the temperatures ticking up a couple more degrees but not too bad with fremont

reaching 83 degrees. we'll see a high of 91 in morgan hill and 91 in santa rosa. once again, talking about that meteor shower, peaking this morning tomorrow morning, and you just need to give your eyes some time to adjust. i know the moon will be bright but maybe you can look away in other directions of the sky and see some meteors. as we look ahead in our forecast to see when that humidity will be coming back, it's definitely ramping up. you can see the green for the mid level moisture for southern california, getting close to the bay area, and as we see, the humidity coming up, it will also start to get hotter and so it's going to feel much more uncomfortable for some of our inland valleys next week. as we check out ukiah, we're going from low 90s to look at that next week, 105 degrees on wednesday. so yeah, it's going to be getting hotter and most of our inland areas will be in the mid-90s, but not too hot in san francisco. mike, now you're tracking a crash? >> this one going on in san leandro area toward oakland. we have this reportedly blocking

just the fast lane. there's a bus involved, not an ac transit bus, it's a private transit bus but it is there and the backup bigger coming off of 238 and now going to blend in with some folks headed out of hayward north toward the coliseum. that's the only slower drive. traffic feeding into the tri-valley and slowing through sunol, nothing major where 680 and 84 meet. south bay crash north 101 around oakland road. we'll track that closely. back to you. >> thank you, mike. happening now, johnson & johnson is hitting the brakes on global sales of its baby powder made with talc. it has been unavailable in north america ever since 2020 because of low demand but also because of potential safety issues. johnson & johnson is facing thousands of lawsuits claiming that the talc-based powder is harmful to women and could potentially cause cancer. the company has maintained that the product is safe but it won't be available. and next a quick look at the top stories including preventing an outbreak in the north bay. this is the bacteria causing

legionnaire's disease, traced to two locations, but health leaders are doing to contain it.

leaders are doing to contain it. for years, california's non-gaming tribes have been left in the dust. wealthy tribes with big casinos make billions, while small tribes struggle in poverty. prop 27 is a game changer. 27 taxes and regulates online sports betting to fund permanent solution to homelessness. while helping every tribe in california. so who's attacking prop 27? wealthy casino tribes who want all the money for themselves support small tribes, address homelessness. vote yes on 27.

- you okay? - there's a flex alert today so i'm mentally preparing for the power outage. oh, well we can help stop one because we are going to reduce our energy use from 4-9pm.

what now? i stepped on a plug. oh that's my bad! unplugging. when it comes to preventing outages the power is ours. welcome back. we're moving you forward with a look at our top stories on "today in the bay." >> the big changes in the cdc when it comes to covid guidance. among them, you no longer have to quarantine after close contact with someone who has been sick. instead, wear a mask for ten days and take a test on day five. also, if you test positive, you're now supposed to stay home for at least five days and once day five hits, as long as you've been symptom free for 24 hours, you can stop isolating, but you should keep wearing that mask through day ten. teams in napa have traced signs of the bacterium causing legionnaire's disease to two more sites, one at the county hall of justice in downtown napa, but the other is a pond on the same grounds of the embassy suites hotel, where the

bacterium was found in a cooling tower earlier this month. vice president kamala harris continues her bay area visit. yesterday she was in san francisco hosting the roundtable on reproductive rights. today she heads over to oakland to announce a $50 million empowerment to support low-income students called the generation fund. she's also meeting with leaders in the commercial space sector to talk about space travel and transport. all eyes are on capitol hill this morning because the house is expected to vote this afternoon on the inflation reduction act. it offers a number of tax credits for people switching to cleaner energy sources and also includes a cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for seniors. the discussion is happening live right now in d.c. it was approved by the senate. it is expected to be passed by the house and it's expected the president will sign it into law next week. get ready for touchdowns and tail gates. football is back. the faithful head to levi's tonight for hopefully the first step in this year's super bowl

run. the niners take on the packers in their first game of the preseason. it will be nice weather for all of us. >> yes. as you talked about sunny out there and temperatures heating up inland with highs reaching up to 90 in our hottest spots inland, more of the same throughout the weekend. >> a disabled vehicle, not a crash, a bus that's just not able to get down the nimitz northbound, sorry. fast lane is blocked but good news, no crash so likely no injuries or problems. slowing is the bigger problem off of 238 headed in toward the area north 880 at davis street as we come back here, the good news is the crash i spotted in san jose is over on the shoulder, no injuries, no problems for 101. >> very good. >> good to know. that's what's happening here on "today in the bay." don't forget to join us at 11:00. >> the "today" show is coming up next. we leave you with live music from the jazz festival in san jose this weekend. >> j.c. smith is jamming away this morning.
