should also be banned, too. >> i was thinking about that because we change based on the container we're put into. >> we had this whole discussion, because it was a very hilarious trend on twitter. the stuff that people were saying, it was so funny. anything can become a liquid if you heat it up enough. >> or you left it out in the sun. i got my yogurt thrown out the other day by the tsa. i'm hungry. quickly approaching 6:00, breaking news we're following, this is big, silicon valley bank under new ownership this morning. one of the nation's largest regional banks taking control, after a collapse that shook up the financial system and left local depositors stranded. scott mcgrew is taking a closer look at what the late-night deal means for customers and wall street. >> clear skies, but another

stororm is brewiwing. it's expected to bring gusty winds to a saturated bay area. meteorologist kari hall are update us as well as conditions you can expect in your neighborhood. this is "today in the bay." and a good morning to you on this monday morning. thanks for starting your morning with us. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. the whole team is here and we are getting you ready for another potentially dangerous storm. today it should be clear, though? >> yeah, this is our day to make sure we're getting the patio furniture ready, we're clearing the storm drains and making sure everything around the house is prepared for more high winds and heavy rain. right now it's cold, so if you're about to step out the door, we're under a frost advisory for all of the areas shaded in blue. that continues until 9:00 this morning. take a look at our temperatures and what we're feeling right now, 34 degrees in dublin, 33 in mountain view, and it's freezing right now in santa rosa, san

martin, gilroy at or below freezing. usually by the end of march we're done with freezing temperatures, but not this year. and, again, this year i'm talking about another rapidly intensifying storm that's going to be coming in. here it is now, farther to the north. it's going to be sliding down the coast and we're going to start to see impacts by tomorrow morning at this time, with some rain, but also those winds kicking up. we are in the clear for much of today. but i'm stopping the timeline right here at 6:30 tomorrow morning. we can see that rain that's going to be spreading into the north bay, into the rest of the bay area. right around sunrise. then it tapers off to spotty activity and we're still looking at the potential of high winds and even thunderstorms. so i'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. mike, you're seeing a backup at the bay bridge. >> yeah, it was getting a lot easier over the last ten minutes, but then over the last five we saw things start to pop

up again, so now we're about where we would expect maybe for a busier monday. i think folks may calculate, based on the forecast and kari talked about the rain and the commute conditions tomorrow, so people may have decided to go in today instead of tomorrow. slowing through richmond, down toward berkeley, so no major surprises. we have 37, as well as highway 4 with a traditional build. the first crash did clear at montague. over to you. >> thanks, mike. breaking news while you were sleeping, there is a deal in place for silicon valley bank which suddenly collapsed march 10th. north carolina's first citizens bank buying svb and a deal that was brokered by the fdic. the fdic says the 17 former branches of what is now silicon valley bridge bank will open as first citizens branches. depositors automatically becoming depositors of first

citizens. tomorrow the senate banking committee will hold its first hearing on the collapse of silicon valley bank and on wednesday house lawmakers are hold a separate hearing. the fdic chair and vice-chair are expected to both testify. scott mcgrew is joining us. i know the fdic says everyone's money is safe, even during the change of ownership. >> you can even make the argument that it's super safe. the depositors at silicon valley bank have the safest deposits in the world because the government said it would go beyond the traditional $250,000 maximum. this is going to count as a transfer to the new bank. there's no way the government is going to let this get screwed up. >> a lot of people have more than $250,000. >> that's right, and there's a $250,000 maximum, the most the government will cover if banks go bad. a lot of businesses, depositors, were moving their money out of banks like first republic, signature, obviously silicon valley bank, into big banks like

chase. chase is a very big, safe bank. but the american economy depends on smaller regional banks, so we've got to find a way to stabilize those banks if they are going to survive. otherwise, it just makes sense to move to a bigger bank. >> even if you didn't have your money in this account, the question is wall street, how are they reacting? >> wall street seems happy and we use that as a measure to take the temperature of where they think the banking industry is going. and wall street this morning feeling good. futures are up. >> good to hear. thanks, scott. also breaking overnight in the middle east, massive protests are erupting across israel. we have a live look for you here. many are demonstrating against a judicial overhaul that would limit the authority of the supreme court. it started earlier this year when netanyahu's hard right government introduced new legislation that would limit the authority and powers of the supreme court. the plan has stirred concern for

israel's democratic health. the new york city grand jury investigating former president trump is set to return to work today. jurors are looking into the alleged hush money payment. in the meantime, trump continues to claim the case is a political witch hunt. "today in the bay's" brie jackson joins us live. trump taking the first steps in this new run for president. >> reporter: good morning, laura. well, former president trump held his first major campaign rally over the weekend. he continued his criticism of the investigation. now, this as the new york grand jury investigating or at least hearing former president trump's case, they did meet twice last week, but no action was taken. all of this comes as the former president ramps up his rhetoric against the investigators. as a grand jury weighs whether former president trump should be

charged in connection to an alleged hush money payment to an adult film star, he bristled at questions about the investigation. >> i believe that if anything ever happens with the case, it's a fake case. >> reporter: the 2024 republican presidential candidate also aired his grievances during his first major campaign rally in waco, texas, saturday. >> this is really prosecutorial misconduct, the innocence of people makes no difference whatsoever to these radical left maniacs. >> reporter: trumps denies any wrongdoing. his legal team standing firmly behind him. >> it's a case that shouldn't be brought and wouldn't be brought on anyone other than donald trump. >> reporter: experts say cases like this can be difficult to prosecute. >> it's a provable case, you have challenges. >> reporter: district attorney alvin bragg shows no signs of backing down, despite threats against him and his office. >> it's actually part of a larger piece, which is an attack

on our democracy. >> the rhetoric is out of control on both sides. >> reporter: the former president has been escalating his rhetoric against bragg, as the d.a. weighs possible criminal charges. in a now deleted social media post, the former president posted a photo of himself wielding a baseball bat next to a picture of the manhattan d.a. mr. trump's legal team distanced itself from the violent rhetoric, calling it ill-advised. in washington, brie jackson, for "today in the bay." >> always something. thank you, brie. 6:07 right now. we are moving you forward this morning on a long-term plan for what is now a popular san francisco phenomenon that started during the pandemic. restaurants are facing an important deadline if they want to keep the parklets operating. >> kris, for some businesses, parklets really made all the difference in surviving during the pandemic. >> right. so they sprouted up out of necessity during the pandemic but now many restaurants want to

keep them because customers like being able to eat outside, they give restaurants a few more tables to work with and add vibrancy to the neighborhood. going forward, there are changes. those parklets could come at a price. san francisco's shared spaces program is accepting applications through march 31st, this friday, and businesses will have to pay $2,000 per parking spot if they want to keep those spots as dining space. there is a maximum of two spaces per business. there are some other fees and restrictions, but those are the big ones. when cities first let the businesses use the parking spots, there were no fees. again, that comes to an end this free. the program director says that many businesses have seen this as a lifeline. >> the shared spaces program has helped retain and stabilize our small businesses and neighborhoods and they've also

allowed those folks to retain their employees and their jobs and the livelihoods. i think we're seeing indicators that there's strong appetite to continue this public space program in the years and decades to come. >> most of the businesses participating in the shared spaces program are restaurants, but there are a few businesses that are coming from the retail and nonprofit sectors. as of last week, the city had more than 700 parklet applications, almost 600 of whin indication of how much those businesses really like that option. >> right. and a lot of people like eating outside as well. so the fees might be reasonable for some of the bigger restaurants, but what about the smaller mom and pops? >> they wanted to make sure there was equity and inclusion in the equation, so businesses that earn less than $2 million per year will get a break. they'll pay about half of the fees of other restaurants. >> taking that into account. thanks, kris. it is 6:10 this morning.

we'll take a live look out in san jose. it's clear now, but in 24 hours we should see a different picture outside the window. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect. you said the rain will be moving in. >> yes, by this time tomorrow morning. so today we're heading out the door, a lot more people may be commuting. if you're heading out from morgan hill, it's going to be a very cold start. you need the heavier coat. we're right now in the mid-30s and we'll see temperatures slowly warming up today. at least it will be sunny at lunchtime until 1:00. we're seeing temperatures in the upper 50s, but with this incoming storm, it will intensify to classify as a bomb cyclone, 24 millibars within 24 hours when you measure the area of low pressure and that increases the wind speed. we could see wind gusts at 60 miles per hour, some of the highest near the coastline as well as in our mountains. it's going to produce some

significant rainfall and also snow on some of our bay area hills above 3,000 feet. we'll talk more about the timeline coming up in a few minutes. mike has a look at where you can find lower gas prices. >> we're starting with the low 4s almost everywhere. cupertino has a few at $4.19, calling out national petroleum on king road. marin county, the best in the north bay, $4.11. arco on redwood highway. and the low we have in alameda county, the best price isuhkñ$3 at the safeway on bernal in pleasanton. looking at the roadways, we have a pretty smooth drive, as kari talked about. i saw an early commute buildup in the east bay and then things calmed down, holding steady. we see slowing south 880 out of hayward and toward union city, crossing the area past 92. 92 is smooth, the san mateo just

picking up volume. back to you. it is 6:12 right now. a scare for flyers before takeoff. next on "today in the bay," details on a chaotic scene captured on camera as it played out at one southern california airport. paper being crumpled more p paper beingng crumpled music: “i wishsh” by skskeo boboom! sound of p paper ballsls landing g in bins ofoffice workekers cheerinig

good morning. the time is 6:15. we're checking out richmond. on your way to work, it is cold. we're in the 30s right now.

as we go into late morning, it will continue to be nice and sunny for much of today, but slowly warming up. a mild afternoon. we're also getting ready for another big storm set to hit the bay area this time tomorrow morning. we'll talk more about the timeline in a few minutes. right now 101, this is palo alto, moves very smoothly. the headlights are northbound into palo alto. the taillights are coming out of san mateo county with no delays in either direction. we're looking at the build for 101 in the south bay and i'll show the south bay drive coming up. good morning. very happy monday to you. futures moving higher on the weekend announcement that first citizens bank will buy the banking part of silicon valley bank. marcus talked about that right at the top of the newscast. the taylor swift fans who sued ticketmaster will be in court in los angeles today. the ticket holders are not bound together in a class action, so potentially live nation, the

parent company of ticketmaster, faces thousands of individual trials. the ticket seller will likely ask the judge to force fans into arbitration. that's a popular move for federal courts. the "today" show is going to have a lot more coming up at 7:00. >> twitter is still searching for the person, maybe an employee, who apparently leaked the company's source code to an online software library. "the new york times" was the first to report it. twitter worries someone with access to the raw internal code could find ways to hack twitter or take it offline. >> and uber eats is going to crack down on kitchens and restaurants that sell the same menu under a whole bunch of different restaurant names online. for instance, you could have a menu of sandwiches you make that would be legit, marcus' subs, but if you then offer the same menu of sandwiches under made-up restaurant names, laura's deli, mike's philly cheese and make

the app look like it's got a whole lot of choices of restaurants when they don't, uber eats says that's not okay. i love the name kari's for a deli. so denny's has a number of ghost restaurants, in which you can go on and get something that denny doesn't make. it's not on their menu. they branched out online. what uber eats and others are saying, it's not okay to copy and paste your menu -- >> and act like you have a lot of different businesses. >> i want a sandwich, there's kari's and marcus'. >> it's a clever idea. >> but there's no choice then, right? it's the same menu. >> do they have to provide something different? >> something wildly different. and a lot of restaurants do this. >> wings coming your way. >> can't wait. >> that's a commercial right there. wrap it up.

thanks so much, mike. >> scott. >> i know your name. police at l.a.x. arresting someone after a tense scene aboard a delta plane over the weekend. the man was a passenger who opened the plane's exit door, triggering the emergency slide and the pilots pushed back from the gate. the flight crew detained him until police arrived. so far, charges are not been filed or announced, anyway. a live look at sfo and a heads-up for travelers. starting today, work will start on a runway renovation project. they'll repave the runway and upgrade lights and add new striping and markers. the work is expected to continue until about memorial day. the other two primary runways will handle most of the load with delays not anticipated, provided that there are clear

conditions. >> clear conditions, something we probably won't see tomorrow morning. >> no, today is it. we're getting ready for another storm. again, we have to talk about a bomb cyclone. it's another storm that intensifies rapidly and, yes, that's a meteorological term, we measure the sensor of low pressure, if it's intensifying at a rate of 24 millibars within 24 hours, that classifies as a bomb cyclone. what's different compared to last week's bomb cyclone, that one intensified right over us. this one is going to happen farther off the coast, but it's still going to be heading our way and having a big impact here. now, we start to see the rain coming in tomorrow morning. here we are at 3:30, we're seeing that rain covering the north bay, mostly a steady to moderate rainfall. as it continues to move into san francisco, down the peninsula and into the east bay, we see

different colors here. that's heavier rainfall and that's right at about 10:00 tomorrow morning. as it continues to move into the rest of the bay area, it's going to be sweeping through with some breaks for tomorrow afternoon into the evening, but these little isolated cells that we're seeing here could be thunderstorms that we see continue into wednesday, and so the active weather continues, as well as cold temperatures that could coat our bay area hills with more snow. i know this is the end of march and we're still talking about snow, but also some really intense rainfall. we're looking at anywhere from where three-quarters of an inch of rain in parts of the tri-valley, but it could be as much as 2 to maybe 3 or 4 inches of rainfall in these areas in purple. and that's including the coastal ranges and parts of sonoma county, over toward napa county, our hills as well as the coastal areas getting the highest amount of rainfall. but another thing we look at is, is this going to tap into the subtropical moisture and make it

an atmospheric river? as of now, we do see the tap into the moisture that connects all the way with hawaii, and that enhances the rainfall, but it happens just a little farther to our south. and if you're looking at the calendar saying, okay, it's going to be april, will it warm up? the answer is no, we're still looking at more storms, more sierra snow and more bay area rain through at least the end of the month into early april. and at this time we're looking at the sierra getting several more feet of snow over the course of the next week, another 2 to 4 feet will be possible. for us, we're going to be focused on tomorrow with the microclimate weather alert, high winds, rain. we've seen it over and over again this season, we know what can happen, and that's what we're preparing for now as we still are going to see the sunshine today. mike, how is it looking in the south bay? >> 280 northbound showing a good volume of traffic, but at speed, good spacing. 17, 880, across here, that's a

smooth criss-cross. the earlier slowing from the crash at montague has cleared. the entire south bay actually recovered from an earlier slow start there. vasco road at 580, an earlier crash may still be on the shoulder. we have the slowing, the build for the time out of discovery bay. back to you. >> thank you, mike. 6:22 this morning. actress gwyneth paltrow stating her case in a courtroom. she took the stand last week in a trial surrounding her skiing accident in utah. who to expect on the stand and one legal expert taking on whether

welcome back. it's 6:25. the man suing actress gwyneth paltrow over a collision on the ski slopes is expected to take the witness stand today. a retired optometrist claims in 2016 paltrow recklessly skied into him, breaking four ribs and causing head trauma. she has countersued for $1 and attorney's fees claiming the plaintiff was actually at fault. her children, apple and moses, are expected to testify at some point this week. last week paltrow took the stand. here's how one legal expert says she did while being questioned. >> paltrow was not only well prepared, she was a good witness. she knew not to get emotional and to speak matter of factually with plenty of detail.

>> the "today" show is following the trial. they'll have analysis right after "today in the bay" at 7:00 a.m. 6:26 right now. we are gearing up for this coming storm. meteorologist kari hall is here to track what we can expect hour-by-hour. >> reporter: another storm expected to bring strong winds to the bay area. the residents who want to trim their trees beforehand, but [ [ ominous s music playayin] [ engines s revving ]] herere we go! ♪ ♪

right now at 6:30, two people are dead from a triple shooting in vallejo. the new details police are revealing about the investigation. >> in the south bay, a violent ending to an hours-long standoff that sent one deputy to the hospital. we're breaking down what led up to the chaos. >> and we are tracking the arrival of another storm. the fear of more downed trees has some on high alert. the changes one hard-hit community is trying to make to limit long-term risk. this is "today in the bay." a very good monday morning to you. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. let's get right to the top story. more rain on the way and before we get to the rain, we've got to deal with cold temperatures. >> you're going outside, trying to get the house prepped, but it is so cold outside. and we're dealing with frosty

conditions as we get this monday started. we're under a frost advisory for the areas shaded in blue. that continues for the next two and a half hours. our temperatures right now, it is freezing. it is 32 degrees in san martin, 30 in gilroy and also freezing in santa rosa, very close in napa and parts of the north bay. then we're also, once again, getting ready for another intense storm that's going to be coming in. it's getting its bearings there as it heads through the gulf of alaska and will continue to intensify as it moves in, with rain moving into the north bay by this time tomorrow morning. it will continue to spread as we go into late tomorrow morning into the afternoon. this could also bring down more trees and have more power impacts. i'm going to have more on that, as well as what to expect in the forecast coming up in just a few minutes. >> sounds good. well, we're still talking about this rain on the way. a lot of people are bracing for more scenes like this. as kari was just telling us,

this storm will likely bring a new round of strong winds and that means the likelihood of more toppled trees. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell is live this morning. in one city, i hear people saying that the rules are preventing them from trimming back some of the trees that are already at risk of falling. >> reporter: you are correct. good morning to you, marcus and laura. unfortunately, hundreds of trees have come down in the bay area, like in walnut creek and palo alto. this is video of a large oak that fell in the yard of annika and ray dempsey, barely missing ray and his dog at their home in palo alto. the tree can damage water and power lines, fences and the neighbor's gutter. what's frustrating, they wanted to trim the tree beforehand but couldn't because of the city's heritage tree ordinance. they think the law is too restrictive, that the city should have been more flexible

in allowing them to cut back that oak. >> the automatic answer was, no, you cannot do it, it is a heritage tree. it's part on our property, the city's property. i was a little upset, because i think it could have been prevented and making this tree very healthy. >> really we should have more flexibility with the interpretation of the ordinance so when there's really bad cases we can deal with it. >> reporter: that was palo alto city council member greg tanaka, who thinks there needs to be some adaptation to the ordinance. last year the city council significantly expand today type of trees that are classified as heritage. residents are still responsible for paying for an inspection of the trees on private property but can't do preventive trimming without a city-approved permit. incidentally, pg&e tells the "chronicle" that the utility had to remove over 13,000 trees that

damaged infrastructure since the start of the stormy season. we're talking about since january 1st. and, unfortunately, more will probably be coming down tomorrow. reporting live in walnut creek, bob redell. make sure you stay with nbc bay area as the next storm arrives. our stormranger is already up and will help track the incoming system. of course we're going to keep monitoring everything, both on air as well as online, of when the storm is set to arrive. if you haven't done so, make sure you download our free nbc bay area app, that way you'll get alerts sent straight to your phone minutes before rain starts to fall in your neighborhood. new overnight, two people are dead following a triple shooting in vallejo along tennessee street. as you can see, investigators surrounding the vallejo royal fuel station are part of that investigation that's ongoing. police say they found three victims about 11:00 last night. one was pronounced dead on the

scene. two were taken to the hospital where another later died. anyone with information should call vallejo police. a santa clara county deputy recovering after being shot after a lengthy standoff. this unfolded yesterday at a home on dryden avenue near bishop court in gilroy. deputies were on a welfare check yesterday morning and then they say the suspect fired from inside the home. that's when others in the neighborhood say that they were told to shelter in place. the standoff lasted some eight hours. >> we heard a couple of gunshots, too, yeah. we don't understand why, though, what's happening. >> deputies say the 35-year-old suspect later set the home on fire, came outside and tried to get into a law enforcement vehicle. officers exchanged gunfire and a ricochet bullet struck one of the deputies, who is expected to recover. the suspect also injured by gunfire and is now facing multiple charges.

happening today, san jose police plan to update their investigation into last week's deadly shooting by officers during a hostage situation. it started wednesday night when police say that the attacker entered a home on boynton avenue armed with a gun and a machete. he then held the mother and two children hostage. the standoff ended early thursday morning when officers killed the intruder. the hostages were not hurt. the department says vital new information will be revealed at today's briefing. 6:35, deputies in sacramento say a shooting that critically injured two men during a sihk celebration was not a random shooting. it happened yesterday outside of a temple. investigators say one man shot a friend of the other man. the other man retaliated by shooting at the first suspect. the incident scared and shocked other attendees. >> our community is very loveable, caring community. i don't know where these people

come from, seriously. it's very disappointing, very, very disappointing. i'm so sad. >> police do say neither of the two men shot suffered life-threatening injuries. both suspects are now in custody. developing now, police still searching for a person who tried to abduct a 9-year-old child in albany. police say it happened at 7:30 last night near gooding way in the university village area. investigators say a man started to chase the child. the 9-year-old was eventually able to get away. police say that he left the area in a black two-door car. anyone with information who may be able -- who have seen this are asked to call investigators immediately. this morning several small towns in central mississippi, look what's left of them. they have a long road of recovery from a series of tornadoes that killed 26 people. we have video posted by a high school on facebook showing the

sheer strength of the ef-4 twister. windows were breaking, the ceiling being torn apart on friday night. president biden declared a state of emergency, freeing up funds for some of the hardest-hit areas. but as "today" show's tom llamas learned, many are still trying to process the shock of losing everything. >> lord knows where it's at. i know some of it is here because i see some of my remnants. some of it was definitely taken away. >> but it was here? >> yeah, there's nothing, man. hey, i'm alive. >> well, in this particular town, 13 people weren't as lucky, they died. the "today" show will have complete coverage starting at 7:00 a.m. right after "today in the bay." we want to turn to meteorologist kari hall right now. residents say this storm just moved in so quickly. >> and we still have another round of storms hitting the south and we're still going to have that potential of more very quick-moving tornadoes, as we

are seeing parts of southern mississippi, alabama, and now into georgia right there in the target of more severe storms today. so we will continue to monitor that. we're also getting ready for a storm to move into the bay area. that is still intensifying off the coast. and that's going to be moving down into our area with a potential of some high winds and heavy rain starting tomorrow. it's still clear now, but this will rapidly intensify to what we call a bomb cyclone, where we see the measure of that low pressure dropping 24 millibars within 24 hours. and that increases the wind so with those peak wind gusts, we could see them reach 60 miles per hour, especially near the coastline. but the hills, as well as some of the mountain gaps through the delta could also see some high wind gusts as well. rainfall totals are expected to reach anywhere from three-quarters of an inch to 4 inches, with the highest rainfall totals near the

coastline and in areas where we typically see higher rainfall totals. another coating of snow for bay area hills by the time all of this wraps up, we could see snow on our hills above 3,000 feet. i'm going to talk more about the timeline and what you can expect coming up in just a few minutes. mike, you have a number of incidents in the east bay. >> look, we're seeing the volume build again at the bay bridge and this is the one that sticks for the morning. we're looking at no surprises there. we have the build, showing more traffic down the eastshore freeway and out of richmond. 37, highway 4 showing more build. no surprises in concord or pleasant hill. this is a surprise for 680 through the tri-valley, a lot of slowing. originally the crash was reported and it sounded like it was only affecting folks who take the sunol boulevard off ramp but now it's reported in the area between sunol boulevard, just south of there, so we're looking at the southbound drive really starting to kick in where it typically shows a little more gradual slowing. 84 also slows, so both avenues

toward 680 and sunol, slower drive. i'm watching for reports of a tractor-trailer reported with a fire northbound approaching 238. not showing any slower drive, so we'll track that. the delay in the area is just standard as you travel south and the build toward the san mateo bridge, across the bridge itself. a live look shows you a smoother, slower drive. folks are tapping their brakes and that's typical heading to the peninsula. here is 101 through palo alto, toward the south bay, a little lighter traffic. the early commute seemed to hit a little earlier. i think folks chose the better weather day. we'll track the build. back to you. >> thanks, mike. some experts say it's not a matter of if, but when. biologists are working to protect lake merritt from another huge die-off. still ahead, the new challenge being posed by the recent storms. >> a defeat of president biden's choice for the faa, and former

president trump's lawyer says his tweet was, quote, ill-advised. >> and you won't have to wait on the world to change too much to catch john mayer's concert, announcing dates to his new world tour. where and when you can buy tickets for a concert here in the bay area. we'll tell you when we come back.

right now at 6:44, as you're heading out the door, it is very

chilly. let's head to burlingame. as you're getting ready to go to work, only 39 degrees. it will be mostly sunny today. we're prepping for this big storm set to arrive by this time tomorrow. make sure you set aside some time today to get your house prepared for this kind of storm. we're going to talk more about what to expect in a few minutes. and we're looking where we're expecting more traffic and we're seeing it. heading toward us, southbound 101 gross the golden gate bridge, a steady flow of traffic. we're looking at some slower drives and watching for issues in the east bay. we'll revisit that coming up. well, the man president biden picked to run the faa will not. >> scott mcgrew joins us. some members of congress say phillip washington is not qualified. >> that's right. good morning. there is no set of skills required to run the faa. you don't have to be a pilot or an aircraft designer. washington, the man, ran denver's international airport for years.

he's also a 24-hour army veteran running logistics, ran the l.a. mta. some republican senators said that wasn't enough. washington has withdrawn his name. transportation secretary pete buttigieg said over the weekend, partisan attacks are not deserved, but i suspect his decision to withdrawal. >> president biden returns from delaware this morning. he stopped at home from his way back from canada. we've often pointed out how often president trump at the time left the white house on the weekend. president biden almost always in delaware. the same way that trump was in florida. >> moments ago, nbc confirmed another witness is scheduled to be questioned today by the manhattan grand jury investigating trump's payments to stormy daniels. trump, meanwhile, criticized for re-posting an article on his truth social that showed him holding a baseball bat next to the picture of the manhattan d.a. even his own lawyer thought it

was a bad idea. >> would you advise a client to personally attack a prosecutor like this? it's dehumanizing. >> you know, chuck, i know, again, i'm not his social media consultant. i don't -- i think that was an ill-advised post that one of his social media people put up and he quickly took it down. >> a new poll shows the majority of americans think trump is getting a fair shake in the legal system. a survey of 1,300 adults gave two choices, fair treatment or witch trial. 56% said fair treatment. what's more interesting is a plurality of americans think he did something wrong when he paid money to the adult film actress. 29% said it was unethical, but didn't break the law. >> vice president harris is in africa, arriving in ghana.

the vice president will go to tanzania and zambia. she's there to strengthen u.s. relationships as russia and china seek to spread their influence. we'll be keeping an eye on washington and manhattan, talking about it on social media. >> scott, thank you. recent storms are triggering concerns surrounding our climate in crisis. an east bay nonprofit raising the red flag over red tides in lake merritt. the recent flooding has sent freshwater and pollution into the water. this is stoking fears that fish may die off in the lake. the nonprofit lake merritt institute is fundraising in hopes of keeping a second from happening. they say the algae and pollution can starve the lake of oxygen. >> we've got to make sure that we're on top of it, so that the pollution is not affecting the wildlife. >> the group is also looking to purchase four aerators to bring

oxygen into the lake. the institute says the city of oakland is working on a pilot project to bring more oxygen into the lake as well. trending this morning, let's just say gravity in san francisco will no doubt be getting the best of lots of music lovers this fall. ♪ keep on waiting ♪ ♪ waiting on the world to change ♪ >> john mayer bringing his solo tour to the chase center november 7th. the current leg of the same tour actually stops in sacramento april 8th. the show focuses mostly on his acoustic guitar work. tickets for the chase center show go on sale friday at 9:00 a.m. i saw him years ago. he's a really good guitarist. >> right on. >> see how cool i was just then? thank you, guys. >> you had us until the end. time to get a look at the forecast. we are expecting rain and wind,

too. >> it's going to be another one of those storms where we have wind, rain, and possibly even some thunderstorms. let's take a look at the nice, quiet calm start we have to our monday morning. yeah, we know by tomorrow morning it's going to look a lot different. we can see the storm system that's farther to the north around the gulf of alaska that's been really intensifying, but it's going to be another one of those storms that strengthens, but this time off the coast. last week we had a storm that intensified rapidly, but it happened right over us, and we didn't really have a lot of time to prepare. so as this one moves in, we are expecting it to classify as a bomb cyclone that intensifies so rapidly that it does have a high impact, but it's also going to produce some widespread rain. take a look at the timeline. this is 4:00 tomorrow morning. we see a lot of green. that indicates a steady rain. but also some pockets of some heavier rain. and this is right before sun

rooez. but as more people get up and head out the door, this is going to pick up with heavy rainfall over the peninsula and parts of the east bay, and continuing to spread across much of the rest of the bay area. by the afternoon, we're starting to see some activity tapering off, some breaks in there, but we also see these little cells popping up where there could be some thunderstormsy and that continues throughout the day on wednesday and also a coating of snow on some of our bay area hills. with a lot more very heavy rainfall in an already-saturated ground, we're looking at the possibility of anywhere from about three-quarters of an inch of rain in parts of the tri-valley to over 2 inches of rainfall, and some pockets, northern sonoma county, parts of the santa cruz mountains where there could be up to 4 inches of rainfall. so that's really going to have a big impact here with more flooding possible as well as more downed trees.

but another thing we look at with these areas of low pressure, it doesn't tap into subtropical moisture. we can see as we look at the moisture tap, does it qualify it as an atmospheric river? well, we are looking at it to tap into the deep moisture, but it does happen a little farther to our south. still going to have a lot of rain. and we're in the last week of march. as we go into the month of april, will it warm up? will all of this rain end? right now the answer is no. it's still going to be very cold and we're going to see these storm systems continue to move through for quite a while. take a look at walnut creek. this is our ten-day temperature trend and this shows the high temperatures. it is going to be very cold for this time of year. we still see this continue into next week. so our microclimate weather alert continues today as we get ready to prepare for a storm that's going to be coming in tomorrow morning. spotty thunderstorms on wednesday, a little bit of a

break on thursday and friday, and more showers and cold weather in time for the weekend. mike, are we starting to see the commute building up? >> sure enough. we expect that throughout the east bay. the peninsula is still moving smoothly. the east bay, 880 shows slower trends in general but no more fire, i think. the tractor-trailer reported on fire in the area, i think that was an erroneous report. maybe some overheated brakes. traffic builds across the san mateo bridge right here, this section of 680 that is really jammed up. the earlier crash, i think it has cleared to the shoulder. we are still seeing a slower drive, which we expect. a little more slow, and we think it would be slower because of the earlier crash and the build out of walnut creek. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. happening now, san jose police are investigating a deadly hit and run. it happened a little more 7:00 last night near blossom hill road and leigh avenue.

someone struck and killed a woman riding a bike. so far the victim's identity is unknown. police are providing new details, very few of them, though, including if they have a vehicle description. a quick look at top stories this morning, including the breaking news on the banking crisis. silicon valley bank under new ownership this morning. one of the nation's largest regional banks taking control over the collapse that shook up the financial system and left local depositors stranded. what the late night deal means for customers and wall street. first, here is hoda. >> good morning to our friends on the west coast. coming up on "today," the long road to recovery facing tornado-ravaged parts of mississippi. we'll take you there live. also ahead, we know it can be challenging, especially in this economy, for families to save for college. this morning, vicky nguyen will share practical and creative solutions, including a few that you can start today. all that, and the final four. we're live on the campus of

we're moving you forward with a look at the top stories on "today in the bay." >> we begin with breaking news overnight and the new owner found for the recently collapsed silicon valley bank. fdic says that north carolina's first citizens bank and trust is taking over all 17 former silicon valley bank branches immediately. this includes this one in santa clara. customers are being told to keep using their current branches for the time being and depositors will automatically become depositors of first citizens. tomorrow the senate banking committee will hold its first hearing on the collapse of silicon valley bank and on wednesday house lawmakers hold a separate hearing. >> new overnight, two people are dead following a triple shooting in vallejo on tennessee street. investigators are surrounding the royal fuel station as part of the investigation. police say they found three victims about 11:00 last night. one was pronounced dead at the scene, two others were taken to

the hospital, where one later died. anyone with information should call vallejo police. with recent incoming storms expected to pack a new round of a punch with strong winds that we have out there, that means the likelihood of more toppled trees. people in palo alto say a recent ordinance is keeping some at-risk trees from being trimmed or removed. the ordinance protects so-called heritage trees and in some cases recent storms have sent trees, including a large oak tree falling into the yards of homeowners. >> and there's a threat of probably more toppled trees with another storm headed our way. >> this one is going to pack high winds and heavy rain. with the ground being saturated, it doesn't take much to knock over the weakened trees. we will be under this weather alert today into tomorrow. today is the day to prepare and we're just getting you ready for the storm that's going to be bringing in rain by this

tomorrow tomorrow, and then lingering thunderstorms in the forecast for wednesday. we're looking at the possibility of anywhere from three-quarters of an inch of rain to 4 inches, as the storm comes in. we're looking at the possibility of seeing the commute tomorrow and into the next day with some downed trees. so far 680 is the big issue this morning. we had an earlier crash south of sunol and that jams up southbound 680. some folks are shifting over to 84. here is walnut creek with an easy drive. that's good for 680. >> that's good for a monday. that's it for us this morning on "today in the bay." don't forget, 24/7 we're >> buen lunes en la mañana,
