bullets in the east bay. the search for the suspect right now, and all of this coming days after a 5-year-old girl was killed in a separate freeway shooting. a key ruling is blocked overnight affecting women in the bay area and the country. and then the decision made overnight about the commonly used abortion drug. plus -- facing resignation calls. the renewed efforts to get senator dianne feinstein to give up her seat. her reaction this morning. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this thursday. thank you for allowing us to be part of your morning. i am marcus washington. >> i am laura garcia. we begin with breaking news, another deadly overnight interstate shooting happened in the east bay, and this happened on 580 near the lakeshore avenue

off-ramp and park boulevard in oakland. there were bullet holes in the driver's side of the truck that crashed into the pole following the shooter. it's not clear if the driver died from gunshot wounds or in the crash. no others are being reported in the vehicle at the time of the accident. as of right now the lakeshore avenue exit is closed but the lanes on the highway are open. we will have a live report in our next half hour. right now we want to get you caught up with what is going on in the forecast. meteorologist, kari hall, is monitoring that for us. >> we are starting out with jacket weather with low 40s in fremont. we are seeing temperatures in san francisco to start in the upper 40s. as you are heading out in oakland, we will continue to see

temperatures in the upper 40s for the next few hours. 52 degrees at 9:00. notice it will be nice and sunny as we go throughout the morning, and slowly warming up as we head to the mid-60s here and low 60s for the peninsula. we will talk about the weekend ahead coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you. more breaking news, and this time nationally a federal court of appeals is blocking a judge's ruling to block the use of the drug mifepristone. drew, california is among the states looking at the chance the ban could be a reality here. >> yeah, the ban set to go into effect on saturday is partially blocked. last week a district judge in texas suspended the fda's

original approval of mifepristone from the year 2000. the appeals court ruled for now the original court does not have the authority to do that because of the statute of limitations, but the decision upholds the target of in order to get mifepristone patients will still need to have three appointments with their doctor and the pill may only be used within the first seven weeks of pregnancy. in its ruling the appeals court said it would expedite consideration of the case. >> drew, the justice department does still have the ability to ask the supreme court to completely block that original ruling there, but if it does it faces an uphill battle? >> yeah, i mean, obviously it could face an uphill battle. it was a 6-3 majority in the supreme court that overturned

roe v. wade and opened the door to some of the laws passed across the country, and that majority still exists. under that assumption there could be a similar ruling in this indication, although president biden speaking in ireland today repeating he thinks the administration does have the law on its side and feels confident going to the supreme court in this case, and we will see if it ends up in the supreme court, one, and two, what that ruling is. >> thank you so much. speaking of washington this morning, new calls from a bay area leader for senator feinstein to resign. she insists she's not going anywhere. she's been recovering from shingles and working remotely from home. she last cast as senate vote on february 16th. and ro khanna now calling for her to resign, saying feinstein cannot fulfill her duties

especially when it comes to judicial committees. ro khanna is also helping organize the campaign for barbara lee. >> it looks like he's moving this along in lee's favor. >> for now senator feinstein is requesting senate leader chuck schumer to ask lawmakers to allow another democrat to fulfill her spot in the judiciary committee, which he may do as soon as next week. and the race for senator feinstein's seat is well under way, and there's representative porter, she's from orange county, as well as congressman

adam schiff. bay area representative, barbara lee, she is throwing her hat in the race recently and she represents the bay area in the house of representatives since 1998. in a major win for santa clara county a superior court judge is ordering calvary church in san josé to pay up for fines in the height of the pandemic. this battle has been going on for a while, emma. >> reporter: that's right, laura. calvary chapel is on the hook for $1.2 million. but the county claiming the church violated the indoor masking requirement while holding indoor church services.

this legal battle goes back to early on in the pandemic when in 2020 calvary chapel sued santa clara county over claims the public health orders violated the constitutional right to religious freedom. the court largely dismissed those claims, but santa clara county fought back and sued the church saying the church violated many of the public orders. and the ruling applied only to one count, indoor mask wearing. the attorney representing calvary chapel says the fight is far from over and plans to file a motion for reconsideration and/or appeal the case, and the battle could go on for years before a resolution is reached. and calvary chapel claiming the

county illegally surveilled churchgoers. >> thank you for that details. berkeley council members will hold a closed door session voting on whether or not to make the police chief permanent. her confirmation vote was supposed to be last year but that was delayed after a pair of scandals within the department. interim fire chief has led the berkeley fire department since june, and this is after his predecessor retired from berkeley and took another job. city leaders did not say if there were other candidates are under consideration. and then helping to break

ground on a interim housing site in san josé. when completed it will offer more than 200 rooms in what is reportedly a first of its kind facility. it will be built faster and more cheaply than traditional housing models. let's look outside live, looking at san francisco. kari is tracking our forecast for this thursday morning. how are we looking? >> looks good. those temperatures yesterday felt more chilly because of the gusty winds. it's still going to be windy today, at least through 11:00 we have a wind advisory in these areas in orange, but a lot of the wind funnels through sacramento valley, and we feel the gusts may reach up to 45 miles per hour.

we can still see the gusty winds that will be with us throughout the morning. elsewhere we are looking at breezes at about 15 to 20 miles per hour and may kick up to about 25 in san francisco and even 30 later this evening. that's when the temperatures will start to drop after hitting the highs reaching in the mid to upper 60s for later today. so as we take a look at these numbers, it looks like it's going to be another nice one. this is what we are going to see into the weekend. i will have a look at that coming up in just a few minutes. coming up on "today in the bay," the latest inflation numbers show it's getting more and more expensive to eat at restaurants. plus, not much care for self care. the surprising number of men paying less attention these days to their hygiene and grooming. also, a real-life twin for the popular peanut pup, snoopy. we will we will

consumer. the consumer price index, the cpi is a lagging indicator because it shows what we paid last month. inflation has peaked and is falling. that means all the interest rate hikes my finally be taking affect, and maybe we don't need more of them. the next fed meeting is in may. the cpi also told us the cost of eating out has gone up again faster than the price of groceries. it's always more expensive, of course, to go out to eat. this is the first time in a long time the data show prices at restaurants rising faster than prices at the grocery store. i don't know about you, but sometimes i am shocked when you get that restaurant bill. there are a couple restaurants i have gone to that add a 20% service charge, that is not the tip. i don't go to those anymore. i get that they got costs, but so do i.

>> very true. >> across the board, you say it's more than a grocery store. it's out of control. >> this is a time when it's flipped flopped, prices are going up faster at restaurants than a grocery store. >> yeah. i get it. >> i used to go to a store to buy a sandwich and it was $17, and it used to be $5. even the cashier said, is this right? we all know the importance of dental hygiene, but how often do you brush your teeth? once or twice a day? well, gen z and men, only 54% of the men say they brush their teeth daily, and 35% only wash

their face daily. 30% say they floss -- >> not just surprise but disgust you. brush your teeth. >> yes, please do. this is trending for you right now. a look that is bringing back nostalgia for you. >> bayley getting attention for his adorable resemblance to snoopy. isn't that adorable? >> cute. >> the markings are point on. so we know snoopy is not a sheep a doodle, but a beagle.

>> you need to brush bayley's teeth as well. >> and all that fur. >> my dog is finally going to shed some of the weight? can we go for a walk now? >> yeah, we can't use that as an excuse for staying inside. we are going to see gusty winds today. 50 degrees, a cool morning, and we will see another one. we have seen temperatures dipping and slowly rising as we go into today. a lot of sunshine but we still need jackets, even for this time of year with our temperatures reaching 68 degrees in concord and martinez. 66 in novato today. all of these numbers are about what we typically see this time of year, and it has been nice to have seasonable weather. it does get slightly warmer tomorrow. we will bring it up a couple degrees for the end of the week.

los gatos hitting 68 degrees. the same in martinez and napa. on saturday it will be beautiful out there. another nice one and slightly warmer with some of our inland valleys reaching the low 70s. make plans to get out there and go for a nice long walk, by yourself or the family, doesn't matter. and we are watching this, and we are looking at a slight chance of rain in the forecast on tuesday and possibly early wednesday and the rest of the week is looking dry as that high pressure returns. look at the temperatures, still going up and down. it's fairly mild and then warming up to 72 on saturday, and upper 60s on sunday. early next week, as people go back to school and work, in the low 60s, so a taste of winter

there. our 7-day forecast, we will continue to have mild weather. mostly sunny skies and slight rain chances for the north bay early next week. let's get a look at the bay bridge that has been flowing well. the metering lights are not on. we are also looking at a bigger pick up in traffic especially now that we have people heading to work this morning. we will continue to monitor this as we are also going to see overall around the bay area a smooth flow of traffic. i will keep an eye on that. we will talk about what is going on, and weather and traffic coming up in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. this morning, excitement is building for dub nation. next on "today in the bay," the one thing coach kerr says he's most proud of as the team kicks of

baseball team says there will be no more home games because of the field conditions like large poles on the field. a player was hurt when he ran into it. >> safer play and a safer environment for the teams that come here to play. >> the team is still allowed to practice on the field for now, but they will have to play home games at other high schools. if you find yourself maxed out on your premium streaming services, turns out you are not alone. hbo and hulu and other services, the cancelations rose 50% last year. experts say that average americans use four separate streaming services and canceling just one of those services can

make a difference on your bottom line. >> $5, $6, $12 a month, but they add up if you multiply that by 12 for the entire year. >> the "today" show will dive deep this morning into the unsubscribe movement with tips on how you can save yourself money. that's coming up at 7:00 right after us here on "today in the bay." and then san francisco is poised to pick things up a notch today. this is ahead of what we all hope is another warriors championship ring. >> yeah, the dubs this weekend tip-off their first round playoff series. >> it's great to at least have a shot, you know, to be where we

freeway shooting. what are you learning? >> reporter: yeah, yet another bay area shooting on the freeway off of the lakeshore off-ramp in oakland. you can see the car that was involved crashed into that pole, so all of this is under investigation. here's what we know so far. it's early in this investigation, but according to chp they are saying it happened roughly around 12:00 a.m. that driver eventually crashing into the pole i showed you there, following the freeway shooting. again, it's right near the off-ramp, the 580 off-ramp near lakeshore avenue. it's unclear if the driver died from the bullet holes or when that driver drove into that pole. unfortunately, it's an all-too

common incident. last week, a 5-year-old was shot and killed while riding in her car along 880. that suspect is still at large. and then jasper wu also was shot on 880 while he was asleep in his parents' car. we are still waiting to get more information as far as if any arrests have been made. it's too early to tell on what the motives are, and as we get more details we will bring that to you in the news room. pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> becoming all too common. >> very much so. pete mentioned the case of jasper wu. that case now leaving one bay area district attorney under fire of opponents.

new alameda d.a., pamela price, is showing signs she could be too soft on crime. among them, jasper wu's friends and family. price calls the recent criticism a false narrative with racial over tones manufactured by her opponents. >> i won because people did not trust this office. we're here because this community did not trust this office and for good reason. this office has a long history of over criminalizing young people, over criminalizing black and brown youth. my predecessor fought against criminal reform.

the things the people of alameda county expect me to do will be done. >> as for the wu case, she tells us no decision has been made on any charges or enhancements. the suspects in that case are due back in court next week. on our website, you can find a look into the frequency of these freeway shootings across the bay area. also, what is being done to combat this recent rise in crime. to learn more, head over to our website at nbcbayarea.com. we want to turn to our forecast. meteorologist, kari hall, has been tracking with a we can expect. we have been coming off nice days, and hopefully a repeat today. >> it's going to be gusty in spots, as we look at the wind advisory for solano county.

it's going to be another sunny day and gradually warming up in the low to mid-60s, reaching 71 in fairfield and 66 degrees all across the south bay. we will take a look ahead to the weekend forecast and events going on, and that's coming up in a few minutes. as we take a live look at the san mateo bridge, it's flowing pretty well. it has been fairly quiet around the bay area. have not seen any major issues as you are heading out on this thursday morning. i will continue to monitor that, as well as what is going on across the bay area, coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you. police are asking for tips this morning to help solve a shooting that injured two people in oakland yesterday. it happened at about 4:00 on brook dale avenue near interstate 580's fruitvale exit. we don't know about the exact injuries here, but the two victims are expected to survive. happening today, a man arrested in a violent attack of

still awaiting the questions. planners have reportedly approved a project to double apple's existing office space, and it would add new retail and restaurant space. there will be a public hearing of what is next in that permit process at 4:00 this afternoon. take a second to look at your screen. probably going to take a second to figure out what you are looking at. this is an image of flowers. we are talking about millions and millions of them. this was taken from outer space station. all of this a by-product of california's super bloom. this is over the two-mile stretch of the national monument in san luis obispo. beautiful. >> all the recent rains, and we

are seeing a lot of variations of flowers that we have not for a while, but that's also sparking allergy concerns. >> and don't just flatten the flowers, okay, marcus? >> just a small section. >> instead of a snow angle, a flower angel -- or a devil. >> just a little one. a lot is going on, and we want to get out and enjoy the nice weather. in san francisco this weekend there's a 415 day public crawl. it will be in the upper 50s throughout the afternoon. as the sun sets, the wind picks up and the temperatures drop and it will be in the low 50s. if you are hitting the road this weekend heading to coachella, it will be cool in the overnight temperatures and then warm during the day. it will be bright and sunny, and friday's forecast reaches 82 degrees. not bad, but sunday it will

reach 94 degrees. a little bit of cooler weather, palisades tahoe will be in the 40s, and then more sun and lots of snow, but reaching into the low 50s, so maybe you will be able to enjoy time in the snow with short sleeves on. if you are going to the coast and maybe checking out some of the super blooms along the drive, it will be perfect. big sur, that pacific coast highway drive, low 60s for highs and the sunshine continues so don't forget the sunglasses. we will get a look at what is going on around the bay area coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you, kari. next on "today in the bay," the steps one health advocate is suggesting all mothers take. there are calls for senator dianne feinstein to step down,

judgeships. that's a huge problem. feinstein has asked to be temporarily replaced on the committee, and she has not said she will resign. she said she will not run for re-election, but it was a california congressman, ro khanna, who publicly said it was time. she said while she has had a lifetime of public service, it's obvious she can no longer fulfill her duties. now, california congresswoman, nancy pelosi, disagrees saying i never have seen them go after a man that was sick in the senate that way. there have been calls for senators to step down for health reasons before, notably john mccain, after he revealed he had cancer. generally those calls don't come from colleagues. feinstein has had an extraordinary record of leadership, and leading the

assault ban and women's rights and mayor of satisfy. we are waiting on president biden to comment publicly about the issue. he's in ireland marking the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreements. he will address the irish legislature at 9:00 a.m. our time. there could be a break in the leaked document case soon. "the washington post" says it has talked to a friend of the leaker, a minor that the post did not name. that source says the leaker works on a u.s. military base and has allowed reporters to view more than 300 pages of material that have not been made public. while the post did not share its findings with the fbi, the fbi is good at pulling on threads. nbc has not confirmed anything in the "washington post" report. >> thank you so much, scott.

chipotle pledged to ditch the gas grills at some of the restaurants. their goal is to slash greenhouse gas emissions in half by the year 2030. the company has more than 3,200 locations, and all but a dozen currently use gas grills. google making it easier to explore national parks. updates are rolling out on google maps. when you search trails on google maps, it will show the entire route instead of just the pin, and it will give you walking and cycling directions straight to the trailhead, and let you download the map of the park so you can access it if you don't have the internet service. you know that can happen. and also, a highlight of popular

better understand what is happening and navigate the health care system. >> and it's important for mothers to lock down their health care and help from the community. the sharks last night finished their disappointing season -- i hate saying that, but they had a disappointing season and they hosted the flames. the flames' goalie took the ice for his nhl debut, and he said he often went to the shark tank before the game. >> it's special to play against the team you grew up idolizing. there are a couple guys over there i know and i am pretty excited for it. >> looking at this purely objectively, and wolf saved 23

shots as the flames beat the sharks 3-1. i would say that's a win for the south bay as well. >> but he's not on the sharks. let's talk baseball this morning. a season of ups and downs continue for the giants. they shutout the dodgers with a nice win, but not so lucky last night. the giants raced out to an early 3-0 lead, but the tide of the game flipped when they surrendered five runs in the sixth inning. and a disappointing loss, dodgers 10, the giants 5. >> the a's were in baltimore to take on the orioles. it was the third game of the four-game series. the a's lost the first two but rebounded in a big way yesterday. the green and gold recorded 15

hits. the a's 8, the orioles 4. the a's will take on the mets, and you can participate in the community fun broadcast auction. just scan the qr code there on your screen to join that experience. up forbidding includes warrior tickets, private pitching lessons -- can't beat that. and you get to meet and greet with some of the legendary a's players like rickey henderson. speaking of games, it could be time for world fans to start crunching numbers. >> we are talking about wordle here. there's a new game that is a math game. it's called digits. the object is to use six numbers

to get as close as you can to a target number. like wordle, a new puzzle is released every day at midnight. wordle just caught on so much. you guys play it? >> huh-uh. >> scott plays it. >> it could be like sucodu. we are going to enjoy sunshine, wild weather and our super blooms. here's a look at a lot of people out on the roads as we look outside in oakland. let's head over to redwood city. we are starting out in the 50s this morning, and if the kids are on spring break and you are going to enjoy more time outside, i would wait until noon or early in the afternoon where it will be in the low 60s, feeling a little more comfortable there even with a light jacket.

we are going to reach 66 in mountain view. 68 in martinez. upper 60s in santa rosa. south bay in the mid-60s for today. and tomorrow, reaching 68 degrees in morgan hill and the same in livermore and martinez. san francisco topping out at 60 degrees. and saturday we are looking at the same and even warmer for some inland valleys. los gatos reaching 71 degrees there. we will see low 70s for concord. the mid-60s for oakland on saturday afternoon. looking over all at what to expect over the next few days. dry conditions continue. next week we could see a possibility of slight rain chances starting late monday into tuesday. it's showing spotty light showers but not a significant storm here. much of the rain has been drying up before it gets here. by the end of next week, we are back to the dry conditions but

our temperatures are still going up and down. look at brentwood and what to expect going into the weekend. upper 60s for today and then reaching the low 70s for tomorrow. 73 degrees on saturday. it's going to be an amazing weekend. of course, we have been talking about getting outside and going for a hike and enjoying that sunshine and the warm weather because we will see the temperatures heading back to more of a winter feel for the start of next week. we are talking about low 60s for highs. looking at our overall 7-day forecast, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine. a few clouds. then the slight chances of rain in the north bay for monday and tuesday. this weekend in san francisco, a lot of events going on with temperatures in the low 60s. still pretty windy today, but the winds calmed down a little bit going into the weekend. now, let's get a look at our morning commute. looking at the richmond san rafael bridge. looks clear out there.

around the bay area, a few minor incidents popping up on the roadways. 880 is moving through, and not seeing a major backup there. we are also seeing a bit of slowing as you are either taking 84 or going across 580, either way it looks like we are starting to see the sensors slowing down just a bit. our bridges are flowing well. the bay bridge takes about ten minutes, a bit slower than usual. the dumbarton bridge right now at nine minutes. i will keep an eye on everything going on. another look at weather and traffic coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you so much, kari. happening now for you, a ban on new gas stations takes affect in unincorporated areas of sonoma. the ban requires all passenger cars sold in california to be

welcome back to "today in the bay." our climate in crisis, it has been a winter, back-to-back atmospheric rivers, and high wind and flooding rain. is all of this a sign of things to come?

well, scientists like me surely believe so but we have groups that sees firsthand the battered coastlines and litter and even leaked sewage in our waterways. >> every time you pick up a plastic bottle, you have a larger carbon footprint. make sure you are setting your thermometer at an appropriate time and place, and cut down on what you are putting into the atmosphere whether that is through a car and anywhere you can step back. go to city council meetings. your local municipalities right now are making decisions on how to respond to climate change, and it could be as easy as getting involved and saying i

noticed this land is susceptible to flooding, maybe we should not build on it anymore, or going to your municipalities and asking if there's more you can do. >> we have stories on angles of how climate change is affecting the bay area. we are offering solutions on what you can do to reduce the impact and restore the planet. check out our climate in crisis page on nbcbayarea.com. quickly approaching 6:00 this morning, breaking news of another deadly freeway shooting overnight. a truck riddled with bullets slammed into a utility pole. the latest on that investigation and the search for the gunman. also breaking at this hour, a judge blocking a ruling that
