that the public is kept safe. >> ahead, bob redell joins us in the studio with more on why alameda's top prosecutor wants one particular judge off all criminal cases. and then being ousted by tennessee house republicans for joining a gun protest in the days following a deadly school shooting, this as the push to pass stricter gun laws increases. we are live from washington with more on the debate. also, the 49ers and the city of santa clara are at odds. this is as we gear up for the next world cup. ahead, the reason city leaders say they are not prepared for a influx of visitors and why they are blaming the niners. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this thursday. thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your morning. i am marcus washington. >> i am laura garcia.

we will check the drive times with mike in a bit and see if folks are getting a jump already on this weekend. we have a look at our forecast, kari. we are going to have winter-like temperatures to start, even though it's milder right now compared to what we had earlier this week. we are still at 39 degrees in los gatos. 42 in dublin. it's 44 right now in oakland as you get ready to step out the door. in dublin, our temperatures will go from 42 to 47 degrees at 9:00. notice there will be more clouds in the mix today. the sun just kind of peeking out as we reach in the mid to upper 60s for this afternoon, reaching 66 in concord. 64 in napa today. 62 in san mateo. we will get a look at what is ahead as rain comes in tomorrow. that's in just a few minutes. mike, you have a bart station that has been closed? >> yeah, it's the montgomery station. there's a medical emergency at the montgomery station so nobody is getting on or off and they

have closed that station. we don't have a lot of details on what is going on, but no word of single tracking. if there was an issue on the tracks they would have to single track in the area, and i am thinking this is going on on the platform. the montgomery bart station is closed right now, and this could be reflected in more traffic at the bay bridge. we have the backup forming. we will track to see if there's an appreciable build there. also over here, 880 northbound, there's still that crash over on the shoulder. all lanes northbound appear to be open passing the coliseum. we will give you a live shot of that with our camera coming up. back to you. >> thank you. 6:02 right now. a judge in the east bay could be sidelined from hearing any criminal cases. >> today in the bay's bob redell joining us live right now. bob, the alameda district attorney issuing an unusual request here, and this is to have him -- we are talking about

the judge here, to qualify from hearing any criminal cases brought by the d.a.'s office. >> yeah, newly-elected d.a. price wants to bar judge mccannon to hear any cases brought forth by her office because in her words he overstepped his authority in a plea deal. the d.a. offered one defendant 15 years in prison for a triple murder, and the judge said the case should go to trial and let a judge decide the man's fate instead. the d.a. said judge mark mccannon overstepped his boundaries as a judicial officer, as i mentioned. she reminded her viewers that a judge is supposed to be an impartial referee. >> because of judge mccannon's inappropriate comments and conduct on two separate

occasions, my office will file a motion to disqualify him from hearing any criminal cases being prosecuted by our office. >> to issue a blanket challenge against a judge is something that is highly irregular and it also calls into constitutional questions of separation of powers. >> that was a legal analyst, steven clark. he said it's common for judges to get taken off single cases, but all cases, that's unusual. clark points out that the d.a. price has a right to take judge mccannon off criminal cases. under the law the d.a.'s office is not required to state its reason and the judge does have a right to object or ask for an explanation. >> i want to go back to the triple murder case that the judge rejected the plea deal on. what will happen in that case? >> the judge has set a date for the trial to begin later this month, and as for judge mccannon, we asked for comment

and did not hear back. >> interesting. thank you, bob. right here in the bay area a lot is going on. you know those students yesterday that walked out of the classrooms over gun violence. sky ranger captured the crowds of the students in san francisco as well as mill valley yesterday. >> this is all in the wake of the tragic national school shooting. students want to send a clear message to lawmakers on capitol hill, do more to protect children. brie, the students are vocal. >> yeah, that's right. good morning, laura and marcus. we have heard these rally cries before. students say they don't want to live in fear and they are pushing for lawmakers to pass legislation that would help protect schools from gun violence. >> no more silence! >> from california to massachusetts, students walked out of school taking a stance against gun violence. >> because school shootings are

terrible and people shouldn't have to be scared of going to school every day. >> it's just scared to think at any moment somebody can enter the building with bad intentions and shoot class members. >> gun violence is happening all around and we just want to do our part. >> the country has failed us by letting this happen and letting it happen so many times over and over. >> the nationwide protests come nearly a week and a half after a school shooting in tennessee. three children and three adults died. in a separate demonstration, clouds took to the tennessee house floor led by three democrats. today statehouse republicans will vote on whether to expel those lawmakers from the general assembly. >> because we wept to the house floor to speak up and hear the voices of our constituents. >> if we are smart we are going to prevent the guns from ever getting to the schoolhouse door. >> legislators agree on some

measures, such as preventing people who are a threat to themselves and others from gaining access to weapons. >> to the degree we can do that, protecting the constitutional rights of our people at the same time. >> students say it's time to do something about gun violence, but from capitol hill to state capitols, the political battle over the issue continues to be contentious. president biden has repeatedly called on members of congress to pass legislation on gun laws, saying that his executive actions can only do so much. laura, marcus? >> many of the students don't have a vote but they do have a voice and they are certainly using that. thank you. a follow-up for you, the third and last suspect connected to the shooting death in the east bay now in custody, but it happened after a police standoff. yesterday authorities arrested the man.

they say he was hiding out in an apartment in modesto. he's accused of killing a store clerk in modesto on march 2nd. it happened when one of the other two suspects got into an argument with a store employee. santa clara is considering suing the 49ers claiming the team has not given them adequate information to prepare for the fifa world cup. levi stadium would be venues hosting the games, but the 49ers failed to meet a deadline to file documents. the 49ers are also hoping to host super bowl lx the same year. the chief says he's worried it would strain the department. they will all meet again later

this month. look at the sun starting to come up. such a beautiful shot. i love this time of the morning. i know the sunrise is a big part of your morning, kari. >> yeah, get your camera ready and tag me in your pictures, #sunriseoftheday. we are going to see a nice start to our day, but it's still chilly out there. some kids are on spring break but you may want to wait later as our temperatures will go from the low 40s in livermore to the 50s and then the 60s today. we will see rain in tomorrow's forecast early in the morning for the north bay. scattered showers for the rest of the bay area. we will start to see this taper off later tomorrow afternoon. we will take a closer look at this and the weekend forecast. mike has a close look at where we can get a better deal on gas? >> yeah, we have marin county's mill valley, arco on redwood

highway, 4.19 a gallon. and the same in san pablo. and then 4.09 in cupertino. let's get out to the roadways. a crash on 880 slowing past the coliseum. an suv is on its side but no injuries are reported. it's a distraction but no lanes are blocked. on bart, the montgomery station is closed. no red or green line service to redwood city. plan on delays. muni is servicing the area passing to or from the montgomery station. back to you. >> thanks, mike. how is this for a mcawesome

deal? coming up next on "today in the bay," the steps you can soon take to score free chicken mcnuggets. let's take you out to the futures this morning. i don't expect a lot of movement today. we are getting that big jobs rereport tomororrow. plusus -- >> whahat are youou g going too? the m money s shot. thee undenialal p proof of alil camera. >> after t the break,k, we willk ababout somome of thee nominine best perforormances, and keep i here to see here to see i we are grocery outlet

and we are your bargain bliss market. what's bargain bliss? you know that feeling you get when you find the name brands you know and love, but for way, way less? that's bargain bliss. it's grocery outlet's 20% off wine sale going on now till april 11 we have hundreds of wines sure to pair with any gathering. so act now because these deals won't last long. stop in and save today ♪ grocery outlet bargain market ♪

as you get ready to head out the door in the east bay, we are looking at fremont at 6:13. we are in the low 40s for the start of the day and will warm up quickly as we go into the late morning and afternoon. later on today, clouds move in and the rain won't be far behind. we will get a look at the timeline for the rain, where we may see the highest totals, coming up in a few minutes. we are looking at the bay bridge. we have the alert for the bart station with the montgomery station closed and the red and green lines stopped for right now. we have the blue and yellow lines and bay bridge where we

are seeing a little build. it's light there. we may see more folks avoiding bart and taking this across the bay, the san mateo bridge where we are starting to see the volume build. we will cover it all, coming up. stocks did not move much wednesday, and they will probably take a pause again today because we are waiting on tomorrow's big jobs report. kind of a strange day tomorrow. the markets will be closed for good friday, but the government is open. we will get a jobs report, but wall street will not be open to react to it. remember, in the past few months, the jobs reports have been huge. all this talk about recession and the economy keeps adding hundreds of thousands of jobs every month. alphabet ceo tells "the wall street journal" that google will soon incorporate chat gtp into its search engine, and when you think about it it's a no duh announcement.

microsoft already incorporating chat gtp into its search engine. the major changes to society caused by a.i. will not come in hears but in months. this is the latest stumble for twitter. npr does take about 1% of its funding from the federal government but critics point out that's a lot less than tesla took from the federal government. state-run media refers to outlets where the government tells the organization what to do and public, and washington does not tell gpr what to do. in fact, twitter's policy refers to gpr and the bbc as what are

not state-run media. there's a theory that npr is preparing some sort of report about elon musk and he's getting ahead of it. that's just a theory, but it fits the explanation, because npr is in no way, shape or form is state-run media. >> we will keep watching. free mcnuggets if you use apple pay. you can get a free six-piece nugget if you use your apple pay. the people that want the deal have to opt into the mymcdonald's reward program. and mtv award nominations

are out right now. >> one movie jetting off. >> good morning, aviators. >> trying to give a clue there, right? "top gun" was among the best movie nominated films out there, among the big box office hits like "avatar: the way of water," and "black panther," elvis, "nope," and we have the best movie performances. >> you like saying "nope". >> nope. >> a lot of sequels. >> yeah, 20 years later, those

movies. we are approaching the easter weekend. a lot of folks paying attention to the forecast. >> yes, you may have the day off tomorrow, and spring break may be beginning or wrapping up for you, and we have a lot going on. as we take a look at what you may be noticing, a lot of sniffling and coughing and sneezing, there's a lot of pollen floating through the air. it's grass pollen and ash tree and alder and juniper trees, and the flowers are blooming, too. if you are planning to enjoy a day off and go out for a hike in the east bay, the temperatures will be cool to start. we will see a mix of sun and clouds today but definitely more clouds as we go into the afternoon. our temperatures will be slightly warmer compared to yesterday, reaching into the low to mid-60s. this will help out with the pollen count, at least for the weekend, as we get rain coming in. that's going to arrive for tomorrow morning, heading into late tomorrow morning for the

rest of the bay area. we may even see some of the north bay showers at 9:00 and 10:00 tonight, and then move into the rest of the north bay in the overnight hours and early tomorrow morning. a lot of rain fizzles out and falls apart once it moves out of the north bay. we will still keep scattered showers in the forecast into the afternoon before we see things clearing out and drying out as well. looking at how much rain we may see. for some of us it will be a little too nothing. maybe a few hundreds of an inch in fremont and san josé. over at the coastline, there could be slightly more. san francisco measuring about a quarter inch of rainfall possibly and a little more for the north bay. i know, as we talked about, people may be looking for something to do to enjoy their time off. well, you are not probably going to head to the beach because it has been so cool. half moon bay will be in the 50s. it will be up to 64 on easter

sunday, but then look at next week. if you are planning to go to the coastline, it's going to be very chilly out there and still continuing to feel like winter. for the inland areas, we get a little more of a break especially on easter. highs in the low 70s. then seeing the temperatures come back down as a cold front passes on monday. mike, you have an important note about some incidents? >> yeah, a couple important notes. we do have a good flow of traffic. you talked about, kari, we are in spring break for some and then a long holiday weekend for many. we are looking over here towards one issue, a crash on 880 on the shoulder and it's at the coliseum, at the bottom of the screen. a typical build. it's lighter, which is good, but the redline coming out of the east bay and the green line out of the east bay, they have no full service once you pass the montgomery station for bart, because that bart station is closed and there's a medical emergency at the montgomery

station. the redline doesn't take you to millbrae. the blue and yellow are options. muni buses are taking you past the montgomery station as well. there's a bigger build at the bay bridge toll plaza. the shift may have taken bart riders back on the roadway. back to you. >> always good to know. thanks, mike. 6:21. next on "today in the bay," we celebrate national library day by honoring the power they hold, and it goes beyond the books they carry. we will hear from a

our new home on roku is channel 4125. let me help you find us and save our channel and save it as one of your favorites. choose live tv channel guide. that brings up the programming grid like a cable box. from there you can go to 4125. you will find live newscasts, replays, our documentaries and short programs all on channel 4125. you don't have to memorize channel 4125, you can save us as one of your favorite channels. click the star button on your remote.

place to study. today we see programming like puppet shows and author readings and technology centers, and opportunities for people to learn and maybe achieve a new skill set is happening in a library. i think libraries evolved to become centers of community where we have expanded what a library can offer to our society. >> there are so many reasons to visit your local library. what is your favorite? i put out a poll on twitter this morning and a lot responded. is it free books, peace and quiet, checking out free movies or kids events? looks like 58% or more, they like the free books. >> take advantage of it. you are paying with it with taxes. >> i go every week with my kids. >> i have not gone as much as an adult, but when i was a kid, the

search was fun. >> i found my library card the other day. >> yeah. go check out a book. >> remember to return the book. >> always. those fees pileup. the top stories we are following today, including the much-needed help on the way after the flooding in pajaro. i am kris sanchez in san francisco where a violent stabbing death of a tech executive is still unsolved and it's leading a lot of people in the city unnerved. we will tell you what the cocome on guguys! our big g adventure e begins ! lelet's-a go.. [ ominouous music plplaying ] yeah!

our cucustomers dodon't do what thehey do for likes s or followewers. their papath isn't for ththe casuallyly curious. and that's's what makekes itit matter ththe most when t they find i it. the e exact thining ththat can chahange the wowo. some s say it's whwhat ththey were boborn to do.... itit's what ththey live toto . trinet s serves smsmall anand medium s sized businines. soso they can n do more of whahat matters.s. bebenefits. papayroll. comompl. trtrinet. peopople matter..

they have been diligent is making sure they gather every ounce of evidence they can find. >> the tech community in mourning after losing one of their own. ahead, we are live on how san francisco leaders are responding to the high-profile killing. speaking out after some say they are being targeted. the demands they are asking one city to help protect them and their employees. back in the spotlight. the action martinez leaders are taking amid concerns over the refinery. this is "today in the bay." a very good morning to you. 6:31 right now.

i am laura garcia. >> i am marcus washington. we have a lot to get to this morning but we want to get you started with the forecast this morning. meteorologist, kari hall, has been monitoring that for us. a little warm-up today? >> a little warmer today. we have been making progress every day with a couple degrees here and there. we are feeling that this morning as we take a live look outside in san rafael. a few more clouds coming in. let's head over to the east bay as we look at the trend throughout the morning. stepping out the door and going to work in the low 40s right now, and then we will see low 50s at 10:00. lunchtime temperature at 60 degrees, and then making our way to 66 degrees for later today. we are going to have rain coming back into the forecast starting tomorrow morning. i will have a look at that timeline in a few minutes. mike, you were looking at the san mateo bridge? >> i am, kari, and we saw flashing lights across the span, and no reports from chp on the span itself, but look at the backup here.

i hope it's just a disabled vehicle that will quickly be cleared. we may be seeing more traffic across the san mateo bridge because folks cannot use the redline or green light getting over into san francisco for bart. the montgomery station seconds ago reopened. there was a medical emergency there, and i don't know if they have restored full service but the montgomery station reopened, and the red and green lines are not accessing the entire route. you can use the yellow or blue over in the east bay. all lanes have reopened on the bay bridge after a deadly overnight crash that happened just after 2:00 a.m. when the driver of a sedan crashed into the back of a semitruck in the east bay lanes ahead of the toll plaza. chp says the driver died at the scene. authorities are still investigating what led up to that crash. in san francisco the violent

murder of a well-known tech executive. >> reporter: marcus and laura, as you said, there's no suspect in custody. without knowing whether or not this violent stabbing was random or whether it was targeted, people are feeling very unnerved here in the city. bob lee, the founder of cash app, was stabbed to death tuesday morning around 2:30 in the morning in a neighborhood not far from the embarcadero. one of his friends told us lee was a night owl so it was not surprising he was out at that time. the violent attack is not entirely surprising to people living here in the city. the murder rate has risen in recent years. the rates of robberies, thefts and assaults are hard to

comprehend as well, and needless to say, homelessness is skyrocketing. we talked with the district attorney, brooke jenkins, that said this. >> we are not going to correct the problem overnight that took years to cause. i think, you know, as i asked the public for, patience so we can get to the place we need to, but we are working around the clock to make sure we are making san francisco safer and we are go into the courtrooms advocating for public safety. >> san francisco police chief bill scott's first statement on the crime says there's no place for this kind of violence against anybody in the city, and i want to ensure everybody our investigators are working tirelessly to make an arrest and bring justice to lee and his loved ones just as we with every homicide that occurs in our city. they are still asking for

anybody with information to come forward. again, this happened tuesday morning at 2:30. in san francisco, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> so many unanswered questions there. kris sanchez for us this. thanks, kris. cannabis crime is also on the rise in san francisco. an oversight committee will hold a meeting talking about a string of robberies targeting cannabis stores in the city, and the kidnappings of those working with cannabis. fema is headed to pajaro to address the recent storms. fema employees and other staff will be working with the community and others impacted by flooding to try and help with all this cleanup and recovery that they need to do there. it all comes after president biden on monday signed a major disaster declaration giving the

green light for federal assistance in this area and many other counties affected by the storms in california. the impact in martinez where the refinery released 20 tons of toxic metals last thanksgiving day. the committee met last night to discuss the investigation. >> i am happy they are looking into it. i am just waiting to see how much further they are going to go or how much quicker they will start to come out with the soil samples. it's really that factor, right, and it's all up in the air until we know what is in our soil. >> after the last incident health officials were so worried they asked people not to eat fruit or vegetables grown in their own backyards, and they are waiting for the soil samples to understand the extent of the impact.

6:37 on your thursday morning. taking a live look outside in san francisco. that's the bay bridge. looking for some tranquility? the san francisco zoo offering a yoga class with the animals, and it's called zen at the zoo. the first class will happen on april 29th. there will be two other classes, one in july and one in october. the event will focus on yoga that brings together breathing and body movements. the ticket does include admission to the zoo, so you get to do yoga, stretch, and then enjoy the animals. >> we have heard about goat yoga, but what about bear yoga? >> i will pass on that. it will be a nice weekend. we are head into our holiday but it will be with rain in the mix

as well. if you have tomorrow off and you want to start your weekend early, how about heading to the sharks game tonight. it's going to be in the low 60s. also going to be nice and cool going into the evening with a little breeze. we will start to see rain chances increasing go into the day tomorrow. that may have an impact on the home opener for the giants at oracle park. it's mostly going to be in the morning when we see our highest rain chances. as we go into the afternoon, we will ease up with a chance of showers, but still could be cloudy. in tahoe, it will be raining and snowing on your way there on friday, but the rest of the weekend looking nice. temperatures in the 50s on saturday and upper 50s for sunday. going to the beach this weekend, the chilly weather continues, and we are looking nice by sunday. mike, you have been watching one major issue trying to get to work? >> the good news, the montgomery

station reopened. the person involved in the medical emergency is receiving medical care now. that's the reason they can reopen the station. they will have to undo everything they do in response. trains are running in both directions and stopping at the montgomery station, but the red and green line, they have to undo the train switching they were doing. no service lifted for red and green lines. however, they should restore those hopefully in the next few minutes. muni is providing options and then they will ease off that once bart gets back to full service. we have seen more folks get to the bay bridge, and they may have hit the road hearing about the bart problems and delays. a lighter volume of traffic shows a smoother flow of traffic. there could be a disabled vehicle near the bay bridge toll plaza. accelerating the creation of

affordable housing. some bay area cities are getting a boost for those trying to make it in the bay. we are counting down to the gymnastics championships. ahead on the "today" show -- >> actress and singer, chloe bailey, will be on the "today" show and she will discuss her solo album, and her new film that is premiering on peacock on june 30th. don't go anywhere. we have much mor in las vegas, the most popular food is broccoli.

yeah, , that's s the only f f. ththey have brbroccoli smoothies,s, and brococcoli pancacakes, and brococcoli ice c cream, anand broccolili hotdogs,, anand of coursrse, they hahavw ununseasoned b broccoli..... with stetems. -dadaddy, i don'n't want t o gogo to las vevegas with y u and d mommy tomomorrow. oh, are yoyou sure? arare you surere you dodon't wantnt to go, itit will be s so muchch fun!

good thursday morning. as you are heading out around the bay area, it will be a cool start. we are looking at antioch and the trend throughout the morning. low 40s to start and a mix of sun and clouds. we go from the low 40s to low 60s by this afternoon. a little milder today and we are getting ready for more rain. more on that coming up in a few minutes. not a lot of detail in the chp blotter, but i see flashing lights and a little lane shift going on here at the san mateo bridge. still slow even though we have the bart system clearing up. montgomery station is reopened. i will talk you through it, coming up. several bay area cities

could soon see new housing going up quicker than usual as part of a plan by governor newsom. yesterday he announced 11 more jurisdictions will receive a pro-housing designation. that means the areas will be eligible for more state resources to speed up the production of housing. bay area cities on the latest list include emeryville and redwood city. it looks like president biden will have a challenger for the democratic nomination for president next year. >> this is really interesting. scott mcgrew, a familiar name but still a long shot. >> a long shot. kennedy, the familiar name, robert kennedy jr., and the kennedy name part of american royalty, but kennedy himself not much of a political contender. he's known these days as a guy that fights against vaccine and

promotes conspiracy theories. he filed the paperwork to run, and that's something biden has not done but we expect him to run for a second term. biden has accomplished a lot lately by keeping silent especially during the arrest of his past and likely future rival, donald trump. donald trump used to criticize biden for hiding in his basement during the last campaign, but it worked. former vice president, meanwhile, mike pence, says he will not appeal a court decision forcing him to testify to a grand jury about donald trump. the protections offered by a judge that he doesn't have to talk about decisions he made as president of the senate is protection enough. this is a huge blow for trump. >> you see the chinese and taiwanese flags and the shouting

match in southern california outside the reagan library where the taiwanese president met with the speaker of the house. nobody was hurt. police separated the protesters. you can see ronald reagan's air force one behind the pair there. mccarthy getting praise from all sides for conducting the meeting, especially from the person that had the job before he did, nancy pelosi. pelosi said mccarthy should be commended. the only critics, the chinese. >> the one thing i would say to china, at no time, i am the speaker of the house. there is no place that china is going to tell me where i can go or who i can speak to, whether you be foe or friend. >> we are talking about politics on facebook. i would love for you to join me there so we can chat.

find me @scottmcgrewtv. the bay area is getting a chance to see gymnasts that will make the u.s. olympic team in 2024. it's expected to draw olympic medalists. world champion jones will be there along with national champs. sap center has a history of hosting the best gymnasts including the olympic trials in 2016 and 2012. in 2007, samantha peszek. >> i just remember having that moment, watching these amazing athletes, thinking, man, i cannot wait to be there one day.

it happened for me. it was that first inspiration for me that got me motivated in the gym, working hard and something to kind of have a dream about and fight for. >> what an opportunity. the u.s. gymnastic championships come to the sap center august 24th through the 27th, while bay area gymnastic teams get the first dibs, and general public tickets go on sale on tuesday. >> i always wanted to go to one of those competitions. >> it's cool. you can see them pre paris. >> maybe i will get a ticket. happening today, the world's largest robot competition begins in pleasanton at the alameda fair grounds today. more than 500 competitors come every year to participate, and the robo games, organizers tell us the most popular one is when those robots fight each other.

>> the 250-pound robots are the big things because they are so large, and, well, you know, people like combat. it's like nascar, where, in nascar, you really watch the races for the crashes and spectacular explosions and things like that, and that's what 250-pound robots give you. >> and they also center around sports like basketball and soccer. it begins at noon today and runs until sunday. if you can't make it there in person, don't worry, can you check out a live stream on twitch. >> always so amazing to watch, because you see, oh, my gosh, they are still surviving. >> i took the family out there. the kids asked to go back out there again, and be prepared, it's klanging and loud.

there was a girls team that were in pink and had a very good robot. >> yeah. that among a lot of things going on around the bay area you may be checking out for this weekend as we head into a holiday. also, watch out for this, a lot of tree pollen and grass pollen floating through the air right now. if you need a reminder to start taking those allergy pills daily, this is it. we have a high amount of grass, ash, alder and juniper trees. you can probably see the yellow coating on your vehicle. some schools are on spring break this week, so you may be looking for something to do, even just going out for a walk around the neighborhood and going to some of the parks and playgrounds. it will be cool throughout the morning so you need a jacket. later today, you may start out with a jacket but will take it off as it gets warmer. 68 degrees in san josé, and 64

in novato. san francisco will reach into the upper 50s for this afternoon. tomorrow is going to be slightly cooler, but this is also when we will see some rain. as soon as the rain clears on saturday, we are headed for the upper 60s and low 70s, so the warming trend will continue. as we get ready for that rain, let me show you the timeline. the north bay may see some of the showers as early as late tonight. then most of it falling through the overnight hours for the north bay, a couple spotty showers here and there for the east bay into early tomorrow morning. notice how a lot of the rain fizzles out and dries up before it makes it into the rest of the bay area. we could see anywhere from 0.1 to a few hundreds of an inch of rain from the east bay to the south bay. for the north bay, at least a quarter inch or more.

beach plans, well, it's going to feel like winter out there. take a look at half moon bay's 10-day forecast. it only feels a little more comfortable only on easter sunday, but it will be cold with our inland temperatures in the low 60s. full restoration of the red and green lines, and the montgomery station is open. we had system wide delays that are recovering from a medical emergency. still recovering on san mateo bridge. i saw flashing lights -- no, still there. still a disabled vehicle on the right side. it will slow down 92. 84 is a great option because of lighter traffic flows today, you have a good option down there on 880. back to you. >> thank you. happening now, stanford lifting its covid-19 vaccine requirements starting on monday. vaccine boosters and vaccines will not be required to go on campus, but administrators say

good morning to you. it's 6:56. want to welcome you back. we are moving you forward with a look at the top stories here on "today in the bay," starting with the search for the suspect in a violent stabbing of a well-known tech executive. >> bob lee, founder of cash app, was killed in a neighborhood near the embarcadero around 2:30 tuesday morning. one of his friends told us lee was a night owl so it was not surprising he was out at that time. the murder in san francisco is up since last year, and so are robberies and thefts. homelessness is skyrocketing. we talked with the d.a. that said crime fight something

headed in the right direction but it will take time to change. you can watch the full interview online right now on nbcbayarea.com. a judge in the east bay could be sidelined from hearing any criminal cases. >> bob redell joining us now. alameda county d.a. filing the unusual request to have the judge disqualified from hearing any cases brought by her office? >> yeah, you are right. pamela price wants to bar judge mccannon from hearing any cases brought by her office because in her words he overstepped his boundaries as a judicial officer when he rejected a plea deal brokered by her office. the judge said, no, the case should go to trial and let a jury decide the man's fate. yesterday the d.a. released a statement on youtube. can you see the video there, and she said the judge overstepped

his boundaries. legal analysts says it's common for judges to get taken off single cases, but all cases, that's unusual. clark points out that d.a. price does have the right to take judge mccannon off criminal cases. already the law the d.a.'s office is not required to state its reasons and the judge does not have a right to object or ask for an explanation. it's not clear what would happen next, but the judge did set a trial date for that case for later this month. we reached out for a comment and did not hear back. let's get a check of weather and traffic together. >> scattered showers are moving in as early as tomorrow morning, and first starting in the north bay and then the rest of the bay

area. we will also have a mild weekend and actually warming up especially for easter sunday. >> it's still slowing down across 92 on the san mateo bridge. an easy choice is the dumbarton bridge. lighter traffic around the bay allows to shift to the bridge in the south bay. a reminder, we stream 24/7 on roku and xumo, and you can follow us on social media as news breaks. we're also here for you. >> always here to give you information you need to know throughout the day. we will be back at good thursday morning. severe weather sweeping across the country. >> and it's impacting a lot of holiday weekend travel plans. it's april the 6th. this is "today."
