roku, amazon fire, and online. good morning to you on this monday. thank you for allowing us to be a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. busy morning. we'll check the monday morning commute, but what about the forecast? >> we've got a lot of changes, too. we had such a nice and warm weekend. well, in a couple of days we're going back to winter. it's going to start to pick up today and become windy and some of those gusts, especially near the coastline, could reach 50 miles per hour. and our temperatures will drop as we return to winter starting tomorrow especially, and the week ahead we'll have freezing mornings and cool and sunny days. we're very close to freezing in some spots in the inland valleys. we're at 36 degrees in dublin, 35 in santa rosa, and it's 45 in napa where the winds are starting to increase just a little bit more. our high temperature heads for 66 degrees, 64 in san jose, as well as 64 in livermore and

dublin. mike, you've been watching the road and the backup at the bay bridge. >> i can see how many headlights are backed up because there's fog and that may cause folks to be a little slower down the curve and through emmerville. we can't see how far the backup goes, but i think it goes to the end of the parking lot at this point. the map does show nothing unexpected as far as the patterns, except for this part. highway 24 still recovering. the earlier crash was right around 36 off of 580. it had things tied up from both freeways. there is recovery and there may be another crew coming through the area because of a disabled backup. we'll follow that. the tunnel is fine, 37, standard build, and the bay bridge toll plaza has metering lights on. there is some fog in the south bay, but the early slowing we saw on 101 is pretty standard through san jose. back to you. >> thank you very much. we are working to try to find out more about overnight

armstrong after he allegedly failed to hold accountable an officer accused of misconduct. according to sources within the oakland police department, the officer was tied to a hit-and-run crash and then later that same officer allegedly fired his weapon inside a police station service elevator. all of this came to light through the federal oversight process originating 20 years ago following a scandal that shook up the police department. armstrong is adamant that he says he knows he did nothing wrong and acted appropriately based on the information given to him. groups like the oakland naacp have called for his reinstatement. as pointed out by the news outlet, the newly formed discipline committee can choose to fire the chief, impose some sort of other discipline or do nothing at all. the committee must move fast because a federal judge has order today city to court for handles the misconduct cases. there's a special meeting tonight at 5:30, followed by the

from fed chair jay powell that there's still a long way to go in the fight against inflation and interest rates may still rise more than anticipated. in focus this week, three key economic reports that may shed more light on inflation, with consumer prices tomorrow, retail sales on wednesday and producer prices on thursday. we'll monitor it all. facebook's parent company meta delaying finalizing budgets for tefrl teams, amidst speculation the company may be preparing for another round of layoffs. the silicon valley giant is likely to announce new cuts after it's completed performance reviews in march. meta cut 11,000 jobs in november. so the science behind love is in the spotlight ahead of valentine's day tomorrow. the "today" show's jenna bush hager is getting a firsthand look at the brain wave technology meant to help explain the relationship between love and our mind. jenna took a special test from a leading love expert and

professor who has been studying this for decades. the big question is, how do our brains react and feelings evolve when looking at loved ones and even strangers? >> i think what's important to realize is that it's normal and okay for love feelings to change over time, especially to decrease in long-term relationships. it doesn't necessarily mean you need to break up. >> you can watch jenna being put to the test later this morning on the "today" show at 7:00 right after us here at "today in the bay." if you are still one of the many looking for love, research shows that you might be barking up the wrong tree. >> trending this morning, world's best cat litter commissioned a poll and found the majority of people find potential suitors more attractive if they have pictures of cats on their dating profile. 75% of cat owners and 61% of people who don't own a cat of their own think you're prettier if you show a kitten or cat. something to keep in mind when

purple and spots like northern sonoma county, we're going to see winds increasing to 50 miles per hour. but notice much more purple starting to thread along the coastline for today. san francisco, 30, 40, even 43-mile-per-hour wind gusts as we go into this evening. then notice for the inland valleys it's more like 15 to 20 miles per hour. so it's still breezy but not as windy as what we'll see near the coastline, as well as in parts of the hills. now, our temperatures won't be as warm as yesterday, but today is a day to enjoy because we are going to see much cooler temperatures coming in for the rest of the week. in mountain view we're headed for 62 degrees and then going into the next couple of days, yeah, these will be the high temperatures, only reaching into the low to mid-50s. it does get a little bit milder for wednesday, but we're also looking at more dry weather ahead, up until we go into the spotty rain chances that we'll see tomorrow and then possibly

another chance of rain for the end of the week. let me show you concord's ten-day temperature trend. it's going to be very chilly tomorrow and we do get a little milder for the rest of the week into the weekend. overall we're not seeing a significant warm-up for quite a while. mike, you see the east bay commute starting to bill. >> yeah, in the spots we would expect like highway 37 coming through the north bay, out of the east bay, and also highway 4 here out of con the record. we're noticing 242 with more slowing. 24 through the cal ta cut is fine. the bay bridge toll plaza metering lights are on. there's fog there. same thing for the bridge out of richmond toward san rafael. the toll plaza is seeing fog, as well as the south bay where we see a lot of slowing potential. we do have slowing for 880 coming through hayward and toward union city because of the disabled transit bus.

there's always next year. it may bring up bad memories. did you watch it last night? fans were treated to quite a game and it came down to the final few seconds. >> after marching down the field in the final minutes, the chiefs kicking that field goal, only seconds left, to give them the 38-35 lead. the eagles had one last chance but the desperation throw fell short. patrick mahomes was named the most valuable player and after the game both quarterbacks tried to put their experiences into words. >> it hasn't even sank in yet. i appreciate the failures, the failure of losing a super bowl and losing the afc championship game, it gives you a greater appreciation to be standing here as a champion. >> it's tough, it's tough. we worked really hard to have this opportunity, and to come up short, you know, it's -- it's tough. >> great game.

mile visibility. when we get the sunshine, we'll reach into the mid-60s. this will be the warmest day of the week. big changes ahead. mike, you've been watching a very slow drive through the east bay. >> we have more build for the nimitz, as well as fog that's been drifting through. the headlights heading south through the coliseum area, you see volume picking up and a lot more slowing as you're approaching 92. now, the good news is the transit bus cleared a few minutes ago and we have a pretty quick recovery. that is a very slow drive passing the san mateo bridge. the south bay saw fog, but is recovering. speeds okay for 585, 14, all which saw lower visibility. you can see the standard build for the standard spots approaching the bay bridge. back to you. new overnight, all lanes of northbound 680 back open following a deadly hit-and-run

crash. it happened around 11:00 last night. the chp tells us a vehicle veered into the right lane, hitting another driver and the driver died. so far, no word on any arrests. an investigation is under way into a fire that engulfed a south bay garage, forcing two people out of their home. it started last night on york avenue in campbell. flames broke out just after 8:00. there was smoke shooting up into the sky. neighbors were asked to avoid the area for several hours as crews cleaned up. continuing coverage for you, and new video from that deadly home explosion last week in san francisco's sunset neighborhood. we should warn you, it may be hard to watch. that explosion destroying one home at 22nd avenue near noriega. the video coming from a home security camera and you can see two people nearby, albert ing and his neighbor were struck by flying glass.

they were not seriously injured. one woman in the home, sadly, died. two other people were seriously injured and several nearby homes were damaged with some neighbors losing mostly everything. now investigators are saying that that home contained an illegal drug lab. ings says that he had brief interaction with the man later arrested by police. >> i say hi to him every time we see each other, when he moves his car back. we just, you know, say hi. >> 53-year-old darryn price is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter, manufacturing narcotics and child endangerment. a town hall meeting is being planned for neighbors affected by the blast. when it comes to making it in the bay, there are serious concerns rising about people struggling to pay for food. >> this comes as calfresh benefits for low income families are ending later this month. it will impact more than 2.9 million households across the state, all of which currently rely on the assistance.

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in san jose with more on the local food banks already scrambling. it's very concerning, kris. >> reporter: well, you know, we know that there is a ripple effect, and when the federal government cuts funding to the state, the state then cannot provide those assistance dollars to our local families and they're going to turn some place like local food banks, second harvest of silicon valley being one of them. the folks here at food banks around the bay area are already looking at how they're going to stretch those dollars to try to meet that need because they know that need is going to be increasing as well. now, we can show you what the benefits have been and what they are going to be just to illustrate here. for a single person over the last three years, they got $281 a month in assistance. in march that's going to slash down to $23 per month. the numbers are different based on household size and income, but all sizes of family are going to feel this. second harvest silicon valley tells us that they are expecting

that more people will turn to them when they lose that state assistance and, like the rest of us, food banks are struggling with rising food prices, too. their costs from up 2% to 18%, depending on the food product. the ceo says the food bank is already seeing a spike because of inflation as well. >> starting in early january of last year we started seeing another uptick in demand just due to inflation. in our high cost of living area for so many families food and fuel is a very large percentage of their budget and our numbers are back up to almost the numbers we were at at the height of the pandemic. >> reporter: so there are also concerns that reduced calfresh dollars spent in stores could affect the local economy as well. california is just one of 32 states to cut food stamps in march, making this a problem for so many struggling to make ends meet. if you have questions about the emergency allotments ending,

what that's going to mean for your calfresh dollars, call 211 for information. you can also reach out to your local food bank. this one here, second harvest of silicon valley, they have a hotline that operates in english and spanish. >> with demand so high, is there a way for people to actually help or get involved? >> reporter: well, they always will take donations. dollars are best because they have partnerships they've built over time and they can really stretch those dollars. so if we bring in two, three cans of food, that is less impactful than us giving them $1 and they can buy ten or however many. we know they do a really good job of doing that. so you can make a donation of dollars. you can make a donation of goods as well. but if you find yourself in a position where you can't really afford to give money, you can volunteer your time as well, because as those needs go up and they're distributing more food, they need more hands to put the boxes together to help people

take them to their cars and all of that. if you have time, they would love to see you here. >> it's a great thing to do and such a good example for the next generations as well. thank you so much. 6:37 for you this morning. a foggy start to the morning in san francisco, as we take a live look out there. so this is ahead of what's being billed as a major housing announcement. there's no secret that san francisco suffers from a lack of affordable housing and so does the entire bay area. later this morning, mayor london breed, state senator scott wiener, construction workers and affordable housing advocates are holding a news conference, expected to announce legislation to remove barriers to the construction of new housing. that press conference gets under way at 11:00 this morning. be sure to tune into our midday newscast at 11:00. we'll give tu latest ott that announcement. you can stream it on roku, amazon fire, and online at nbcbayarea.com, as well as our free nbc bay area news app. 6:38 right now.

the price of love is up this year. it's the unofficial rush to valentine's day, which is tomorrow. and even though costs are high across the board, people aren't skimping when it comes to love. bay area florists are scrambling to fill orders for valentine's day. consumer spending for the holiday is expected to increase by 8% nationwide to $26 billion. business owners say more customers are also shelling out for extras like chocolates and teddy bears. >> during valentine's day roses usually go up, sometimes they double the price because they come from -- the roses that we get are from ecuador. >> the national retail federation reports americans plan to spend an average of $193 this valentine's day. overall, household spending is set to rise by $17 compared to last year. that is the second highest level in almost two decades. one booming category is also for furry friends. more people are buying presents

for their pets. well, if you don't want to get anything for your pets -- >> you've got to get a dog first. >> well, how about a hug? we are seeing the fog hugging the salesforce tower this morning. we have low visibility below that. i know you can't really see the sun rising, but it is a nice start to our monday morning. now, it's also going to start to turn windy, so it's going to be the most windy along the coastline, as our winds could gust to 50 miles per hour there in these areas shaded in orange. that starts at 10:00 in the morning. that's when we are looking at the winds starting to increase. but some of the peak winds will be later on this afternoon into the evening and those areas that are in the purple near the coastline, that's where we could see those 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts and inland we're up to 20 miles per hour through the rest

of the afternoon. so i'll be tracking that. we'll talk about colder temperatures. mike, it's getting tougher to see through richmond. >> as you're leaving richmond toward san rafael, the bridge may have an issue as far as lower visibility. on the span i think visibility is all right. speed sensors are showing a fine drive once the pass the toll plaza. the lower deck coming in the opposite direction, less traffic flow. that feeds onto the eastshore freeway. there may be a crash in highway 37 so we'll track that. a critical part of the north bay. we're holding steady for concord, pleasant hill, walnut creek. tonight there will be one bore closed in your commute direction, westbound, but it will reopen before the morning commute and close after the evening commute. so one westbound bore closed tonight and tomorrow night. typical maintenance in the tunnel. back to you. >> thank you, mike. 6:41.

continuing our series "discovering black heritage" today we're addressing the disease disproportionately affecting black communities. >> making people aware of the opportunity, the excitement that the research community and the medical community have these new therapies. >> next on "today in the bay," an in-depth conversation about a new drug to help treat patients with alzheimer's. >> and super bowl commercials still at the top of a lot of people's minds this morning. we'll have a look at the stars and in some cases

good morning. right now at 6:44, as you're heading out in the north bay, another chilly start. it's 41 in san rafael, but at least at this stretch of the drive on 101 it's all clear. we will see a lot of sunshine and cooler temperatures, especially compared to yesterday. we'll talk about the high winds and lower temperatures in our forecast coming up in a few minutes. we're talking about lower clouds. palo alto, you can easily make out the roadway, but you can see the clouds above. it may be a problem for folks traveling from the north and in the south we saw some creeping down around the highway. we want to continue our special ear he's "discover black heritage" all month long and today we're focusing on health. research from the national institute on aging shows the risk of developing alzheimer's

is higher in black americans when compared to their white counterparts. stephanie monroe with the alzheimer's clinical trial consortium explains that there are steps black americans can take right now to reduce their risk. >> we understand from the research conducted that adopting risk modifying strategies can actually help prevent potentially as much as 40% of alzheimer's disease. these strategies include adopting a heart healthy lifestyle, watching your nutrition, green, leafy vegetables, setting up a plate that has a lot of color. adequate sleep, at least eight hours a night. good, clean water, hydration during the day. staying brain active. staying engaged with other people. having those kinds of social interactions. all of these things, including exercise at least 15 minutes a day will get your heart rate up.

helpful with healthy aging and keeping your cognition where it needs to be. >> you have a clinical trial under way specifically gearing toward helping slow the progress in alzheimer's. talk to me about that study and the biggest challenge you're all seeing. >> well, the study, which people can get more information on, is really exciting, as we have learned through other clinical research and studies about what people need who are beginning to have brain changes, which can actually start 20 years before a person gets the first symptom. so what we're trying to understand is, is there a way for us to address these brain changes before symptoms in older and younger populations, and what's the difference. what does our dose look like and the time when these medications and the type of medications that will work. we recently had lecanemab, a drug that was recently approved by the fda to be safe and

effective, which was given to people who are older, 65 and older. we're going to increase that and go down further about ten years to look at people age 55 and older to see, can we get the same impact on people before they develop full-blown alzheimer's disease or even symptoms of cognitive impairment. so we're trying to prevent alzheimer's disease altogether, we're trying to slow the progression of alzheimer's disease to give people longer and more time to live a healthy lifestyle. and hopefully these types of research will hope us find a cure. >> if you would like to watch the entire interview, you can find it online at nbcbayarea.com, also on roku and amazon fire. we have posted a link with more information on our website as well. trending this morning, a lot of people are talking about the super bowl, of course. but, also, the super bowl ads. here is a look at some of the ones scoring big with viewers. >> you look like a clam.

to wear some layers. it's not going to be any warmer. i'm just upset we're not going to see more of the weather we had head. that was just perfect. we do have some changes coming our way, the winds are picking up and some gusts may reach 50 miles per hour for especially the coastline, as well as some of our hills. now, our temperatures will be much colder, so we're going back to winter, and then the week ahead we'll have freezing temperatures in the mornings, with cool and sunny days. right now it's really tough to see in parts of the bay area, like morgan hill where visibility is down to zero. so allow some extra time for your drive this morning. we've also seen fog moving around parts of the north bay, around napa. but then with the sunshine, we're headed for 66 degrees today. so still not too bad just yet. we're going to reach 60 in san mateo. but compare that to tomorrow's high temperature, livermore, a high of 50 degrees. it's going to be chilly out there. and still pretty windy, too, with morgan hill reaching 53.

martinez will see a high of 53 degrees. it gets a little better on wednesday. overall we do have cool temperatures for the next several days. and it looks nice and quiet, but we have this low sitting to the south, high pressure moves in. and that pressure gradient is causing winds to move very quickly. but we may also see spotty showers. models are picking up on the potential of wintery weather for some hills in the north bay. quickly sliding through, but not everyone is going to see rain tomorrow as it moves through late morning into the afternoon. once that passes, the rest of the week is dry, but in spots like concord our temperatures stay low, only reaching into the upper 50s and low 60s the next few days. mike, you're seeing fog at the bay bridge. >> it hasn't presented much of a implication for drivers as far as incidents or speeds are concerned. the metering lights are on and they have been since about the regular time. a slower drive across the span.

last month because he allegedly failed to hold accountable an officer accused of misconduct. armstrong is adamant in that he says he did nothing wrong and he acted appropriately based on the information that was given to him. as pointed out by oakland news outlets, the newly formed committee can choose to fire the chief, impose some sort of other discipline, or they can do nothing at all. there's a special meeting of the police commission tonight at 5:30, followed by the discipline committee meeting at 8:00. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. here is a live look this morning. a foggy start in san francisco. this is ahead of what is being billed as a major housing announcement. it's no secret that san francisco suffers from lack of affordable housing. but this morning mayor london breed, state senator scott wiener and housing advocates are holding a news conference, expected to announce new
