yeah, looking at the shot from emeryville, elevated camera looking at the elevated bridge. a smooth drive and a calm condition as far as the drivers are concerned. we're looking at a nice drive heading to the bay bridge but getting away from there. the updated highway 24 may be affecting folks driving through the caldecott tunnel. a couple more details to bring to you. right now we'll check in with silvana. thank you, mike. good morning. i'm silvana henao from cnbc. wall street is set for a flat open as investors weigh the federal reserve's next policy move and look ahead to a busy week of earnings. stocks rallied friday. the nasdaq posting a small gain for the week but the dow and s&p 500 ended in the red. all three are positive for the month with the nasdaq up more than 6%. traders have been considering whether the fed will slow the pace of interest rate hikes and that may show inflation is cooling. data on durable goods, home sales, personal income and spending, consumer sentiment and

fourth quarter gdp and earnings ramp up with nearly 40% of the dow reporting. spotify is reportedly planning layoffs as soon as this week adding to the recent job cuts across the tech industry. the streaming service slowed hiring last year and made small cuts in its podcast unit back in october. spotify ceo told employees the company would reduce hiring by 25%. spotify has spent massively on content and podcasts in recent years which have yet to deliver profits. elon musk says twitter will roll out a new higher priced blue subscription with no ads. the current subscription promises 50% fewer ads for verified users but this feature hasn't been launched yet. musk says twitter is working to decrease the frequency and size of ads on the platform and that could be an answer to disappointing subscriber numbers for blue and a 40% drop in

twitter's ad revenue. marcus and kris, back to you. if you could pay for that blue check mark, that doesn't make it special anymore. >> and then the ads on top. >> i think that's what most people are probably thinking. >> i got my check way before you could pay for it. thank you, silvana. traveling far and wide to see the niners in person. ahead on "today in the bay," meet the niners' super fan who traveled around the world just to be at sunday's game. her unique project that takes her love of jimmy g and the niners to a whole new level. we'll be right b

4:48 for you right now. welcome back. you're watching "today in the bay." okay, one more win and brock purdy could be the first rookie quarterback to play in the super bowl, but an artist from portugal is still keeping tabs on the niners' former franchise quarterback. we first introduced you to rita last year. for the last 354 days she created a different rendering of jimmy g. so this started when there were rumors he may be traded. we all know that didn't happen. she kept the series going and spends an hour or two each day, the simple and more complex ones could take more time, about up to six hours. rita and her boyfriend live in

portugal and had never been to a game until yesterday. >> no way. >> we spoke to her before the epic win. >> we thought it made sense even though he's not playing right now to get the opportunity while he's a part of the 49ers. >> so rita says she will re-evaluate her daily jimmy g sketches. even if jimmy g series stops, she has some ideas for her next series. >> consider sketching her boyfriend. >> he's like, she ain't going nowhere. >> beautiful, beautiful weather out there, kari. such a nice weekend. it was so nice. i think all of the energy in the stadium really filled up the lack of temperatures that we had. it was kind of chilly out there. we'll see more of that kind of weather heading throughout much

of the week. a live look at the golden gate bridge right now, still watching out for the king tides that are going to be coming up today. coastal flood advisory, some of those low-lying areas flooding over the weekend. we will see that again this morning. it happens at 12:01 p.m. and coming up lower than yesterday at 6.78 feet, so just watching out for that. as far as temperatures, we're looking good, we're in the upper 50s today. low 60s for the north bay with dublin heading for 57. we'll see 57 in los gatos and 62 in napa. tomorrow morning we begin with some even colder temperatures than what we're seeing right now when the winds calm down. we'll drop down into the mid-30s for many spots inland and upper 30s for much of the north bay. so this is a look at the overall weather pattern, fairly quiet, high pressure keeping it dry and the storm track staying well to the north. as we go into the next few days that high pressure slowly starts to move away, and that will allow for a low to dip in for

the weekend. look at that. by sunday we could see rain and more sierra snow moving into the bay area. a big change in our weather pattern will bring in wetter weather for early next week and possibly reopen the storm door once again. we'll be watching that. as of now it looks like the rain is pretty light for most of us. three-quarters of an inch of rain between sunday and tuesday. but we're all dry throughout the week. we have several more days to allow all of that local -- the recent rainfall that we had to really soak in to the ground, and we see our temperatures warming up, but it will be cool once again. mike, you're hearing a crash near the caldecott tunnel. near the caldecott but not in, it's eastbound. it's outside of bore number two as you head eastbound. so against the main commute, which hasn't yet kicked in and, again, outside the tunnel. no major injuries but there is a

crash taking care of it, possibly a traffic break. there may be slowing as you travel east away from highway 13 or past highway 13 perhaps. an easy drive shows up on our sensors out of antioch across the benicia bridge, the north bay, down to the golden gate bridge. the same thing for most of the rest of the bay except for 680 and the construction that will be there until the next couple of minutes hopefully clearing by 5:00 a.m. back to you. thanks, mike. to a live look at the golden gate bridge where pete buttigieg will join former house speaker nancy pelosi later today celebrating the recent approval of funding for the fourth and final phase of a major bridge earthquake retrofit. $400 million will finance the project. when finished engineers say the bridge will be able to withstand what's considered even the strongest of potential earthquakes. americans are having fewer babies.

declining birth rates. more and more women in america continue to have fewer and fewer babies. the new data also suggests that women are having babies later in life. fertility rates are now down significantly and nowhere near the number to sustain u.s. population growth, so they're not just cute. economists believe more financial incentives are needed to convince more families to have children arguing that other nations like china and japan have done so and it's paid off for older generations. >> it makes sense for policymakers to think about this and keep an eye on this because, remember, the workforce in 20 years are the babies born now. >> so this story first appeared on nbc lx and you can watch more stories like this on different topics by visiting their website lx.com and you can watch on xfinity channel 185 or over the air on channel 11-5.
