sunrise to 39, and then as we go into the rest of today our temperatures warm up very slowly. and then take a look at 11:00 to 12:00, some showers moving through. we're going to see that rain moving through very quickly, not all of us will see it. but i do think it's going to be in san francisco right at lunchtime and then quickly rolling down the peninsula into the south bay by early in the afternoon. after that, really cold air settles in. we're going to talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. mike, you said there is a long wait heading out of oakland. >> it's a choke point. a bottleneck, the entire east bay focuses right here and you have more lanes than on the span. they funnel down even farther, just past the metering lights. there's a slowdown as you would expect. there's a build right here, richmond toward el cerrito and then things clear up through berkeley. we're still showing a slower drive out of walnut creek, west

24. 37 and highway 4, no surprises. again, this is tuesday. wednesday we'll see heavier volume. we've been seeing that kick in after 7:00 for wednesday. but today, tuesday, we'll see that around 7:30. looking toward the dublin interchange, the earlier crash has cleared with debris to the shoulder. a build for 101 through san jose and 237. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. new developments just coming into our newsroom within the last hour surrounding the mass shooting on the campus of michigan state university. police are issuing a major update in the investigation. we now know the suspected gunman who killed himself following a confrontation with police was 43-year-old anthony mcrae. these are photos of him. we've also learned that all eight victims, including the three killed, were msu students. three killed, five survivors are in critical condition. the shooting started at about

8:30 last night michigan time. police say that's when they got a call from berkey hall, an academic building, one of two locations where the shootings took place. it culminated with a confrontation with mcrae about three and a half hours later. also speaking at a news conference that happened this morning, medical leaders who treated the wounded, exhausted from working since the violence started. the exhaustion clear as they delivered an update on how first responders rose to the occasion. >> didn't get a lot of sleep last night. sorry. several people just came in. we received a lot of texts that were, i'm on my way, just people

showing up, where do you need me. >> very, very hard. understandably. and today all activities are being canceled at msu for the next two days. >> within the next few hours snat county leaders will consider how to help the farmworkers there displaced by last month's mass shooting in half moon bay. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live in redwood city at the county office. talk to us about what's going to happen at that meeting. >> reporter: the san mateo county board of supervisors will meet like they normally do on a tuesday morning at the county building in redwood city and this time they are going to vote on a resolution that will allocate $750,000 to help those farmworkers who lived and worked at those mushroom farms that were targeted by the gunman last month in half moon bay. that's where a man shot and killed seven people and an eighth person who was shot survived. as part of the proposal, the board will consider entering a

contract with someone to not only provide emergency housing, but emergency support services as well for those farmworkers. that contract would run until march 1st of next year. now, this money would come from the american rescue plan act and outside donations. we spoke with the mayor of half moon bay who tells us all the displaced farmworkers so far have been placed in semi-permanent housing through airbnb. >> i can tell you that this has brought to light the horrendous conditions that our farmworkers are living under, and when you consider that they are working for minimum wage to put food on our tables and we go to restaurants and pay $12 to $20 for a lunch or a dinner, or even more, they're not getting that money. the farmworkers don't get the money. it doesn't trickle down. so we need to do something to make their living conditions

better and to increase the amount of income. >> reporter: incidentally, yesterday the county launched a task force to help all farmworkers who live on site in housing provided by their employer. the county says the task force will make sure farmers are following local state rules and regulations. this is in an attempt to avoid the conditions you heard the mayor mention, the conditions that the farmworkers were living in at the farms at half moon bay. reporting live outside a county building in redwood city, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. we will have continuing coverage on this vote online at nbcbayarea.com. plus, the latest during our midday newscast at 11:00. you can also stream the newscast on roku and amazon fire tv. the latest inflation numbers were released. >> and scott mcgrew, price hikes continue to slow. >> this is fresh data still warm from the printer. fair to call this more good

news. we're paying 6.4% more now than compared to this time last year. that number was as high as 9.1% last summer. we ask two questions when we read the data, how are things compared to last year and compared to last month. prices up 1/2 a percent compared to last month. it shows how slow this progress is. two steps forward, one step back. all kinds of numbers. there's the 6.4% year to-year. core inflation is when you strip out the very volatile prices of food and energy, up 5.6% year-over-year. again, much better than it was. inflation might come down faster if we could get the economy to slow. that is, after all, what the fed is trying to do with its interest rate hikes. but the economy doesn't seem to be listening. earlier we got a huge jobs report, more than a half million new jobs in a single month.

there continue to be two jobs for every american willing to work. we used to talk about avoiding a recession with a soft landing and that implied that the economy is descending. but take this headline from this morning's "wall street journal." hard or soft landing? some economists see neither if growth accelerates. what would be extraordinary is if we were able to keep the economy strong and get prices down as well. it's trending that way but very, very slow. >> i know you've been poring over the data. there's good news, too. >> there is good news. used cars are down, airline fares down about 2%. a lot of this is food and i was struck by what they were saying about half moon bay, when you pay $20 for a salad. midday we'll take a look at that. we'll take a look at what we grow here and see where the prices are. >> sounds good. >> thanks, scott. let's take a peek outside on this valentine's day. we're tracking a chilly

forecast. beautiful, clear look outside at san francisco this morning. are we going to see it warm up at all? >> it's not going to be anything close to yesterday. it was very pleasant during yesterday afternoon, but today our temperatures don't go up much more than what we're feeling right now. in fact, in fremont it's 44 degrees and it's still breezy and those winds stay up. even at 11:00 to 12:00, we're still seeing those gusty winds and the temperature only in the low 50s. we'll head for 53 degrees for a high temperature. big dip. and some of us will even see a little bit of rain by late morning into the early afternoon. that's going to be in and out of here quickly, but then tonight it's going to be freezing for the inland valleys. i'll have more on that coming up in a few minutes. mike is tracking a crash. >> overall the freeways are moving well, we're starting to see the typical build out of the altamont. we're looking at fremont where

police have sent a notification about a major intersection here. major freeway here at walnut, reports of a big crash. it's right around the city building, superior. it is off of 84. fremont boulevard is clear. it's by superior court. this is the build we talked about for highway 4. the earlier crash, we got a report of that, but it has started to clear and improve for 24. back to you. >> good to know. 6:09. an incredible survival story emerges from the rubble. next on "today in the bay," the rescue of some young earthquake survivors trapped for nearly 200 hours after the massive earthquake in turkey. new overnight, we'll show you the dramatic rescue video. >> and one great way to start heading down the road to life together. yeah, the unusual valentine's day wedding ceremony taking place today in the east bay.

stick around, we're going to tell you a aboutll

right now at 6:12, as the kids are heading to school, there's enough to carry with valentine's for all of their classmates. it's going to be very cold. only 44 degrees in sunnyvale at drop off time and it's going to be windy and more clouds moving

in as our highs only reach into the low 50s today. make sure they're bundled up. we'll talk more about what's ahead in our forecast in a few minutes. folks clustering together because of the volume build. 92 moves smoothly. we do have an issue on in east bay. a major crash reported. i'll give you an alternate because it is near the center of town. rescue efforts in turkey and syria are turning into recovery missions now, but miraculously survivors are still emerging. they are buried in the rubble. take a look. just this morning three young men were saved. two brothers and another man. they were living under the collapsed building for more than a week after the massive earthquake hit. that's almost 200 hours. the death toll now, sadly, has

surpassed 37,000. the bay area continues to show its support. students at santa clara university organized a candlelight vigil last night. it is valentine's day and wedding day for couples in contra costa county. they'll be having ceremonies at a museum that houses shelby cars. >> every day is special because we marry people and we're surrounded by love. but valentine's day is extra special. >> the county provides four such destination weddings throughout the year. they cost just $86 for the marriage license and $60 for the ceremony. but you do have to plan ahead because those spots are filling up fast. at least they do. the next destination weddings are coming up around fourth of july and labor day.

so plan ahead. coming up today on "today," there is a big valentine's day surprise in store. the show is celebrating love stories of couples across the country, including omar from vallejo. they will be in studio 1a to mark the occasion. that's ahead at 7:00 right after us here on "today in the bay." >> it is certainly nice to celebrate love. i have to thank my husband for sending this amazing ginormous bouquet to me. it is lovely. poor mike. >> it's beautiful. smells great, too. >> thank you. i can buy myself flowers, but it's nice when someone else buys them for you. nice to see the love. >> that's true. >> beautiful flowers. >> we'll just block mike. >> it's easier for me to take them to the car and take credit for them. >> i walked in this morning and marcus says, oh, did you get them, did you get what i sent

you? >> i sent those. >> everybody is taking credit for them. >> they smell good. i walked into the studio, and i think it's the lillies. hopefully you get a nice little surprise as well. but i think the weather will shock you, too, because we're going to see a major change today. a cold front coming in will bring in not only colder temperatures, but also some wintery precipitation for parts of the state. we're seeing some snow further to the north. as that moves in, our upper elevations will start to see it changing over to snow. and then for much of the rest of the north bay, before noon you're going to see that rain sweeping on through. it moves into san francisco and the peninsula around lunchtime and then going into the early afternoon hours with some quick-moving rain, but still some spotty showers possible, even into the afternoon. once that moves out, tonight the

cold temperatures settle in. look at how warm or cool it's going to be. definitely a big change compared to yesterday. only reaching a high of 50 degrees. yes, these are high temperatures. and then for tonight it's going to be freezing in a lot of the inland valleys, dipping down to freezing in san jose, as well as the south county, and then only mid-30s for parts of the inland east bay. so we will have a freeze warning in effect for these areas shaded in purple. that's the interior valleys where the wind calms down. along the hills and along the coastline we'll see a freeze watch in effect. so the temperatures will be very close. once that moves out, we'll have another chance of rain for friday, but as of now it looks like the rain is staying off the coast. it will be very close to us. a little bit of a jog with the weather system could increase rain chances. it may not be until the middle of next week when we get a much more significant chance of rain across the region.

overall we have much colder temperatures coming our way. take a look at brentwood, what to expect between today and friday, the high temperatures only reach into the 50s. it does look really nice for the weekend with some mid-60s, with sunshine. but we're also at times going to see some of those gusty winds picking up. spotty rain today and then a slight chance on friday. overall, we're looking at dryer weather ahead. mike, you're tracking a crash. >> we've got more detail. this is in fremont, an important intersection because paseo padre is a major freeway coming through. highway 84, thornton are open. this is paseo pad re at walnut. this is near the city buildings and that could be an issue for folks. fremont police advised us to tell you please avoid paseo

padrefor the time being because of a major crash. that is in the city of fremont. that's not really affecting the freeway. 880 is clearly accessible for the on and off ramps. that is only affecting folks traveling through downtown. the south bay shows a smooth drive. we have a crash reported around the 880 interchange, but so far speeds are fine. a crash near the dublin interchange. debris on the shoulder. no major impact. tuesday is shaping up pretty well. highway 4, 37 and 24 was a sticking point but now the crash that was going on, there was some debris. a little more slowing, a little more build. everything is moving smoothly toward the bay bridge. the metering lights are on. the dublin interchange, we talked about the debris. you saw things were much slower about a half hour ago. the crash and debris cleared,

that sends these folks to the dublin grade and it builds toward 238, castro valley y and san leandro. >> thanks, mike. coming up next, a $2 billion mystery soon to be answered in southern california. >> first, we continue our series "discover black heritage" by introducing you to influential african americans who left their mark on the bay area. meet eric kelly, the chairman of the san jose state university tower foundation, which is dedicated solely to philanthropy. under the obama presidency, he served in the executive office of the president's council on advisers on science, technology and advanced

welcome back. it is 6:23 this morning. police dogs in the bay area could soon be a thing of the fast. there's a new bill pushing to greatly reduce the use of canines. law enforcement agencies have been using police dogs for decades but opponents say that their use disproportionately affects black and brown people. the new bill would prohibit canines from being involved in arrests, or crowd control. >> canine units are used not just in a disproportionate

manner against black and brown community members, but the existence is to terrorize. 6:23. happening today, san jose leaders looking to expanding a patrol program operating along coyote creek. it would allow better response, maintenance and greater public use. a san jose conservation team monitors the area five days a week. the original agreement called for $400,000 in funding. today san jose council members will debate an additional $400,000 to extend patrols to the guadalupe river trail, as well as valley water splitting those costs. as soon as today, we'll find out who is billionaire winner of that powerball jackpot is. the california lottery is planning to reveal who won over $2 billion back in november. that ticket was sold at joe's

service center. north of l.a. california does not give winners the option to stay anonymous. of course we're going to hear from that winner will take the billion dollar lump sump or annual payout. >> it's interesting, if you want to be private. they don't let you in california. >> here you go, cousin. >> everybody is a cousin, right? it's 6:25. the top stories we're following, which include word of an apparent homicide. this is overnight in san francisco. >> developing, the latest mass shooting in the u.s. this one on the michigan state campus. this morning we're getting details about the victims. >> reporter: i'm kris sanchez in sunnyvale where parents and students plan to protest outside a charter school campus because the charter school says it has no choice but to close. we'll give you the d

right now at 6:30, a terrifying night at michigan state university. multiple people are dead after another mass shooting in america. we have new details just emerging this morning as the investigation gets under way. >> plus, a possible school closure in the south bay. we're live with details and the protests happening later this morning, hoping to put a stop to those plans. >> this is "today in the bay,"

streaming live on roku, amazon fire, and online. good tuesday morning. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we want to wish you all a very happy valentine's day as well. we are sharing exciting stories about love and gratitude. before we get to those stories, we want to share with you a valentine's day forecast. it's a beautiful sunrise across the bay area, but it's also pretty windy and also very chilly. here is a live look outside in san rafael as you get going today and we'll even have a chance of rain around noon here as the winds continue to kick up. right now that northwesterly wind at 18 miles per hour, so it probably feels a lot colder than 43. and as we go into today, this cold front zipping in will bring in some big changes in our weather. compared to yesterday, we're going to have a cold day, even some wintery weather for our hills in the north bay. quick-moving showers at noon, rolling into san francisco, down the peninsula into the south bay by about 1:00. and we will see more changes ahead. so i'll be watching this.

we'll talk about our chilly temperatures. mike, you've been watching a major crash in the east bay. >> this is fremont, very important for folks who travel downtown. paseo padre at walnut, you've got to avoid that area. there's three coffeehouses in the area. mallorie is clear. b.a.r.t. parking should be unimpeded. there are two hospitals in the area. we have no update on that. the freeways are moving smoothly. a nice build for 680, slowing into fremont through sunol and a smooth flow of traffic through the south bay. a couple of incidents show up, but no additional slowing. we'll track those as well as the approach to the bay bridge. your usual suspects throughout the east bay. >> thanks, mike. breaking news this morning out of san francisco where police are reportedly investigating a homicide that happened early this morning. it happened at the corner of ellis and hyde streets in the

tenderloin. police are searching that area for any evidence and a possible witness. authorities are not releasing many details at this hour but of course we will continue to update you as those details come into our newsroom. we also continue to follow the latest on the tragedy on the campus of michigan state university. at least three people are dead, five others were hurt after a gunman started shooting. we just learned within the past hour all were students at msu. police plan to release their identities of those killed later today. >> now, within the last hour we actually heard from michigan's governor and other state leaders, all expressing heartbreak and calling for action. medical leaders at that news conference, they say that all of the five surviving victims are in critical condition this morning. here is a live look on campus where classes and events are all canceled over the next two days. police released two images of that suspect during the news conference. we learned that he is 43-year-old anthony mcrae.

police say that he died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds following a confrontation with police. he was not affiliated with msu. all of this unfolded around 8:30 last night. police say mcrae began firing in two campus buildings. >> the first, berkey hall, an academic building, the second was a student union. we learned overnight both were unlocked and open to the public at the time. following the shooting, investigators say the gunman led them on an hours-long man hunt. a tip from a citizen ultimately led to the shooter being located. >> it was a caller's tip that led law enforcement to that suspect in the city of lansing. we cannot thank the public and community and the person who called in that report enough for being observant, for following our messaging, and for being

vigilant and contacting us immediately. >> this latest mass shooting comes five years after one of the worst school shootings in u.s. history. in 2018, 14 students and 3 staff members were killed at stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida. the "today" show will continue our coverage of this tragic shooting live at 7:00 with the latest at the scene right after "today in the bay." in a few hours parents will protest in sunnyvale in hopes of stopping the closure of two charter schools there. and this could leave more than 600 students looking for a new school. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us from sunnyvale. what's the issue here? >> reporter: so we've seen a number of our bay area public schools close because of declining enrollment. in this case that's not the issue. the issue is a loss of funding. now, the public schools that we're talking about, summit public schools, which is actually a charter school

operating on two campuses in sunnyvale, summit denali, they announced plans to close last month. they served about 650 middle and high school students on two campuses. san jose spotlight reports that a letter sent to parents blamed the loss of pandemic-era federal stimulus funds and a loss of state funds because of the displacement of low income families. the county office of education oversees districts and is the body charged with renewing and approving charters in santa clara county. the office of education is not involved in day-to-day operations and has requested summit denali leaders appear before the board. according to a report to the county board of education, the office of education, on january 6th, summit denali gave notice of possible closure. the charter school has had clean financial audits, but also has operated in the red since they opened about ten years ago. in order to remain open for the

next school year, summit denali would have to raise $4.5 million. parents plan to rally outside the campus that serves high school students for this charter school, about 7:45. we hope to speak to some of them then. we've also reached out to summit public schools and we'll let you know what they have to say. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> a great concern for a lot of those parents. thank you so much for that. new details, an sfo flight across the pacific where the plane took a frightening nosedive. shortly after takeoff from maui airport, you see the plane here, the 777 plane did a steep plunge and then recovered, to complete the flight back to the bay area. but new data indicates the plane plummeted from 2,200 feet to about 800 feet at the rate of about 7,000 feet per minute. this is all according to a new report on the mid-december

incident. it's still not cleared what happened, but united does say there was nothing wrong with the plane. passengers had no idea how close they got to actually possibly slamming into the ocean. some onboard the flight already believe they survived a miracle. >> we were all looking at each other, looking out the window, grabbing onto the seat, the hand of the person next to you, praying under our breath. maybe a scream here and there. >> probably quite frightening to be on it. the plunge also took place in a driving rainstorm, though it's not clear if that factored into the problem. in a statement, united says, quote, after landing at sfo the pilots filed a safety report and then coordinated with the faa and alpa on the investigation that ultimately resulted in the pilots receiving additional training. happening today, a town hall meeting in san francisco to answer questions on the recently completed report from san francisco's african american

reparations committee. now, it recently came up with a set of economic responses to what supporters call the city's long history of systemic racism. supervisors are expected to pick up the debate next month. today's town hall takes place at 11:00 a.m. at third baptist church. check out this new video from space. it was tweeted out by the international space station over california. the station passed over the sierra nevada and yosemite. look at california's snowpack. you see it all the way from space. some areas have received more than 190% of their average snowfall. >> that is beautiful to see. >> isn't it? >> it makes you want to go on that trip to space for a few minutes. >> i would rather just go to tahoe. >> see it up close. >> it's also very chilly there. a little bit of light snow flurries there. we're getting some colder temperatures moving into the bay area. on this valentine's day we're starting out at 44 degrees and it's still going to be windy

today. right now it's just a little bit of a breeze, but our temperatures much colder than yesterday. we're only going to reach 53 degrees here. and we're seeing a lot of low 50s for all of the peninsula, parts of the east bay, the south bay, and then for tonight we're going to have a freezing one, even colder than what we're feeling right now. and the south bay most likely will start out around freezing tomorrow morning. we're going to get a look at the forecast in just a few minutes with some spotty rain. mike, you've been tracking a crash and you're getting an update on that. >> first of all, i'm not sure exactly what it is. we thought it might be a crash, but i've been watching the san mateo bridge really stacked up over the last couple of minutes. and you see the high-rise is moving smoothly. where things normally slow down is on the incline. we're looking at some more trucks as well. i'm going to say right now that it's just due to the build that

just kicked in about three or four minutes ago. we're looking at the speed sensors really starting to stack off coming over the bay across from the toll plaza, heading across the san mateo bridge. the dumbarton bridge is a great alternate. on the peninsula side, seeing more slowing toward university. the feed continues down 880 and things will probably continue to build across the san mateo bridge. hopefully they'll smooth out after the initial burst. highway 4, 37, typical, eastshore freeway same thing, richmond, el cerrito, showing a build. tonight, remember, one westbound bore of the daldecott will be closed for maintenance. it will be open by tomorrow morning's commute. back to you. >> thanks, mike. breaking news this morning, a new name emerges in the 2024 race for president. ahead for you here on "today in the bay," the new gop hopeful

throwing their hat in the ring. >> former vice president mike pence will fight a subpoena from the special counsel investigating trump. we'll have that and the very latest. out to the big board, and a little bit of valentine's day red on this valentine's day morning. >> not the kind of love we want to see, right? >> we are talking to your kids about love this valentine's day. we go one-on-one with a family therapist with expert advice on the best ways to explain and show your kids what true love is. you're watchin

the time is 6:42. happy valentine's day. the kids are packing up a lot of stuff for their classmates and it's going to be a chilly start. drop off time in sunnyvale, 44 degrees. still pretty windy this afternoon and only 50 today. make sure they're wearing a heavier coat. we'll take a look at all of our microclimates coming up. >> a lot of extreme lane changes going on west 92, the san mateo bridge. traffic slowing and lots of brake lights. no incidents reported. there's the backup. dumbarton bridge is a much easier drive right now. we'll track this and see if things sort themselves out or if there's a ripple effect coming up. >> thank you so much. 6:43 right now. breaking news this morning, nikki haley launching her 2024

white house bid. haley posting this video on her twitter page announcing her campaign. in it, she highlights her upbringing in south carolina and her time as governor of the state. she is expecd to deliver an in-person announcement tomorrow in charleston. haley served as u.n. ambassador under former president donald trump. her campaign launch makes her trump's first republican opponent for the 2024 nomination. >> scott mcgrew continues our coverage here. if haley gets the nomination, she may face president biden in the general election. >> president biden hasn't made it official but he's been strongly hinting he will. not a lot of upside really for him to become an official candidate early. there's both an upside and a downside for nikki haley. getting in early, she can start hiring republican staffers, other future candidates wish they could, and start fundraising. the downside, she becomes an early target for the only other

official candidate in the race, donald trump. haley has criticized trump in the past, telling politico he went down a path he shouldn't have and we, the republicans, shouldn't have followed him, we shouldn't have listened to him. on the other hand, when trump said he would run for a second term, haley said she would support him, promising not to run against him. take a look. >> if he runs again in 2024, will you support him? >> yes. >> if he decides that he's going to run, would that preclude any sort of run that you would possibly make yourself? >> i would not run if president trump ran. >> trump showing this clip on truth social, saying nikki has to follow her heart. she should definitely run. we've confirmed former president mike pence will fight a subpoena from the special counsel investigating donald trump's role in the attack on the capitol. trump supporters chanted "hang mike pence" after pence refused to follow trump's instructions to block the certification of

the vote. nato ministers will meet to talk about the next step in ukraine. ukraine asks for more weapons, but the big problem is getting ammunition for the weapons they have, particularly artillery. in every war artillery is the biggest killer but there's a constant demand for shells. some nato allies are running low. u.s. troops continue to gather pieces of the balloon. they say they've recovered the important parts of the one shot down off the coast of the carolinas. we're finding more and more in the skies. the pentagon says that's because we've adjusted our radar to better spot them. more coming up on the "today" show. >> so if you do that, and anybody that's operated a radar will know you can set the parameters. if you set the parameters in such a way to look for a certain something, it's more likely that you're going to find a certain something. >> they still don't know what they are. two out of the three locations are so difficult because it's the frozen north, it's the fbi and the canadian royal mountain

police in the north in the yukon territory trying to find the debris field. that is critical to finding out what the heck these were. >> more on the "today" show and then first lady dr. jill biden says one of her favorite holidays is valentine's day. she has an event at the white house today. we'll post that to social media. on facebook you can find me at scott mcgrew tv. >> thank you. and now to a live look at san francisco's skyline. they say love is in the air today across the bay area. the sf city hall is celebrating in a big way. more than 250 couples will say i do in a special wedding ceremony bonanza. each couple will receive a rose, candy and a valentine's day souvenir marriage certificate. so you want to show your kids what love really is, but how do you talk about it with them? when it comes to showing what love really is for valentine's day, we spoke to a family
