some oakland renters. >> you guys can't do what you're supposed to do and house these people, you're making us suffer. >> while you were sleeping, oakland leaders held a late-night vote to phase out the city's pandemic eviction moratorium. kris sanchez is breaking down what happens next for those behind on their rent. >> employees at meta say they expect even more layoffs, this after thousands previously. we'll have the latest from menlo park. >> and awaiting a key decision impacting women everywhere. supreme court justices may rule as soon as today on the future of a widely used abortion pill. we'll also explain where this case may go from here. this is "today in the bay." good morning on this wednesday. happy hump day to you. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. we're going to check in with mike and see if there's any traffic rolling out there. hopefully it's moving along. let's check in with

meteorologist kari hall, she's got a look at our forecast for today. >> it's been a cold start to the week but it's going to warm up as we get closer to the weekend. as we take a live look outside in dublin, we already have a lot of people up and out the door and it's right now feeling kind of chilly where you do need a warmer jacket to get things started. as we go into the next few hours, we're going to see temperatures going from upper 40s, headed to the upper 50s for later today. and we'll see that trend up to about 58 degrees at 1:00, and eventually reaching into the mid-60s in the tri-valley. and even some upper 60s in the few spots. how about 80 degrees? we may see that before the weekend. mike, you're seeing a backup forming out of oakland. >> found some traffic. you'll be happy because it's not as heavy of a backup as we often see on a wednesday. traffic is coming back this week. some schools still have spring break, believe it or not. this is the fourth week they've been rotating around the bay.

there may be less traffic because we just learned about a crash coming down out of san pablo and rodeo toward richmond. west 80 has one, possibly two lanes blocked. chp is going to give more detail. the east bay routes show a predictable pattern. we have recovery from 84 from an earlier crash, slowing for the tri-valley in general and a crash getting off of the dumbarton bridge on the east bay side. back to you. 6:01 right now. breaking news after hours of back and forth, oakland renters and landlords now know when eviction protections will come to an end. >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is joining us live from the newsroom. >> reporter: we know that it is going to be a rather uncertain summer because those eviction protections will not be phased out, but will instead come to a hardened, and that end is going to come july 15th. that decision came after a lot

of passionate outcry from some landlords who say that they have been living without getting rent from tenants for quite some time, close to three years, little or no rent. housing advocates also spoke out saying that the abrupt stop might push at-risk renters into free fall. >> just to stop it abruptly like that will just kind of be, like, you know, a death sentence for a lot of renters. >> i can't sleep at night because i know i have to pay this bill tomorrow and that bill the next day, and i don't have enough money to pay. and i have to work day and night, three jobs, to get by. >> so july 15th is now the firm date for the end of all eviction protections. under the ordinance as it was passed last night or voted on last night, tenants can only be evicted if they cannot prove that their late rent is related to the pandemic. tenants, however, can only be

evicted if they owe more than one month's rent, and landlords can still evict people under the just cause rule if they can prove that there was substantial damage by the tenants or unreasonable behavior by those tenants. there is a final vote on that ordinance, it's largely a formality. it is scheduled for may 2nd. both the city of oakland and the housing advocacy groups plan massive outreach starting may 1st, which is 75 days before eviction proceedings can begin. >> quite emotional out there. thank you very much. it is 6:03. to a live look at capitol hill. a ruling from the supreme court could come as early as today surrounding the battle over an abortion pill. the high court could rule on whether to keep an appeals court decision in place which limits its accessibility. it would prohibit telemedicine prescriptions, mail delivery and retail pharmacy dispensing of mifepristone. earlier this week an antiabortion group asked the high court to keep restrictions

in place while the battle over the medication's legal status plays out. this morning reverend al sharpton is urging the u.s. attorney to investigate the antioch police department and provide protection from mayor lamar thorpe. this comes after racist texts between city officers suggested thorpe be shot during a 2020 protest after the murder of george floyd. as we've been reporting, the fbi discovered text messages between antioch police officers, some racist, others homophobic and violent. 45 officers are now under investigation. last night angry residents also called for immediate action. the subject of one of the text messages says she plans to sue the police department. >> the community demands that those officers are fired and never, ever able to become police officers ever again. >> the council approved an audit of the police department's internal affairs processes.

we're learning new information about the deadly freeway shooting of a 5-year-old girl. police and the district attorney laying out exactly how that shooting unfolded. 5-year-old eliyanah crisostomo was in the car with her family heading to a birthday party on 880 in fremont when she was hit. investigators say the three men arrested were first caught on a surveillance camera shooting another man in fremont about 15 minutes before. they say that same car with the same license plate pulled up to the family's suv on 880. the men allegedly thought they were targeting a gang rival. this was a case of mistaken identity. meta employees fear thousands of additional staffers will be laid off today. >> scott mcgrew, this comes after a lot of people thought there were promises of no more layoffs. >> management is probably going to sea we didn't promise, just strongly implied no more layoffs. after 11,000 plus were laid off in november, another 10,000 in

march, that's a little less than the population of burlingame. and now the news company vox reports some meta employees have been asked to work from home today to give space to those who may be laid off. live pictures from the meta offices. company insiders were quoted saying affected employees will be notified early this morning, so that should be any time now. during the last round of layoffs, ceo mark zuckerberg told employees, quote, not only are we saying good-bye to people we've worked closely with, but many of you also feel uncertainty about the future. i want you to know that we're making these decisions to make sure our future is strong. now, tech workers change jobs a lot. sometimes involuntarily. but that means many workers have deep networks and we talked with a life coach, gary quinn, who reminds people old coworkers, bosses and friends will be there to help. >> remember, it's action equals results. you have to believe in order to

receive. and i believe to be positive in the workforce right now is a main key. people want to hire people who are team players. you want to go in as a winner. >> again, we are relying on vox on this reporting as far as meta layoffs go. if they do, they would announce it quite soon. if there are layoffs, all those employees are predicting the company will make a statement. zuckerberg usually adds something to his blog. we'll certainly bring that to you as it happens. >> in the meantime, it's tough for the people that are there, tough on morale. >> when you watch your coworkers leave, and if you're pretty good and your employable, you start to think to yourself, hold on a moment. so morale is a huge issue if you're worried about getting laid off. the good ones leave on their own. we saw this at yahoo, a silicon valley giant some years ago. but as it wound down operations, it went through the slow slide where it both had too many people, yet it couldn't hold onto the people it wanted to

hold onto, and it's one of the things that contributed to the eventual sort of vanishing of yahoo. >> amazing in itself. >> in 1998, it's still around, but that it would essentially cease to exist is amazing. >> yahoo! >> exactly, it would be like google going away. >> i remember when people were just, like, what's this thing called google? it's amazing. >> we've been doing this a while. >> silicon valley, exactly, expand and contract and everything in between. thank you very much. also happening today, workers at the trader joe's in oakland at the rock ridge neighborhood are expected to vote on whether or not to unionize. at the time, employees reportedly cited worker safety and financial security. the company never gave a public response. voting is scheduled to continue through tomorrow night. 6:09 right now. let's take a live look at san

francisco. beautiful start to the day. we've had a lot of beautiful starts to the day, kari. >> especially when it's all clear. then when you step outside, you're like, oh, it's cold. and we're seeing just a few clouds moving over the south bay right now. all of this will clear out as we head into today. it's still breezy and cool with some upper 40s to start, and then we see the trend that's slowly going to be heading upward as we go late morning into the afternoon. and later today you'll notice that it will be just a touch warmer compared to yesterday. so we're on this trend with each day, our highs coming up just a few degrees. but tomorrow there will be a significant jump in temperatures and we'll head for the upper 60s and low 70s. we'll talk about this in the weekend forecast. that's coming up in a few minutes. mike, where can we find lower gas prices? >> i like the numbers you had. the trend not so great. we have $3.97 at the top, one of the best prices in the state. we'll start with vallejo at the shell on tennessee street.

the south bay, we'll call out santa clara today, $4.29, considerably higher at the costco on coleman and that's the best for the county. same in the east bay, fremont, the best in the city is at chevron on fremont boulevard. also $4.29 a gallon. we depend on you sharing your information through gasbuddy.com. we're sharing the roadways pretty nicely today but we do have an issue. chp has called an alert because left lanes are blocked west 80 at carlton boulevard. more importantly, reports of the car flipping over and some injuries and still waiting to get detail to give me an idea how long it might take for them to clear this. it's causing a backup and it does look like the east bay is looking lighter, so the buildup at the bay bridge is slower today. this is not bad for a backup if you're coming from oakland into san francisco. >> i love how he's got it down to the minute. he knows when it's coming. over before it started. >> money is accountability.

we got that today from fox. >> next on "today in the bay," one of mass media's most explosive defamation suits ever is halted with a surprise settlement. we break down fox's record payout to dominion and dominion's promise to continue righting perceived wrongs. >> plus, netflix users learn the lowdown on plans to crack down on password sharing. the good news is customers have time to prepare. one insider breaks down what families should brace for. stay with us. you're watching "t od

good wednesday morning. it is 6:14 right now. and in martinez, 44 degrees. it is all clear. and we see a cool start to our morning, but leading into a comfortable day. it will be slightly warmer compared to yesterday and the warming trend continues into the weekend. we'll check out those temperatures as you're making weekend plans in a few minutes. the greater east bay looks pretty smooth. but this is bad for one section, the eastshore freeway has an alert. chp has called that because we have a couple of left lanes of the westbound commute direction blocked. there may be a vehicle flipped there. checking out injuries and getting details coming up. developing this morning, reaction to the huge settlement involving dominion voting systems and fox news, as "today in the bay"'s drew petrimoulx

reports, it happened just before the trial was set to begin. >> reporter: lawyers for dominion voting systems claiming victory. >> the truth matters. lies have consequences. over two years ago a torrent of lies swept dominion and election officials across america into an alternative universe. >> reporter: dominion accused fox news of spreading false accusations that its systems rigged the 2020 election for joe biden. >> the machine ran an algorithm that awarded votes to biden. >> at the center of it all, dominion voting systems, are they the culprit. >> dominion filed suit demanding $1.6 billion in damages, fox agreed to pay $780 million,

where executives were set to be called as witnesses. >> throughout this process we have sought accountability and believe the evidence brought to light through this case underscores the consequences of spreading lies. >> reporter: fox news releasing a statement acknowledging certain claims about dominion to be false, adding its hopeful the decision to resolve the dispute amicably allows the country to move forward. >> money is accountability and we got that today from fox. we're not done yet. >> dominion promises to continue with action against other conservative media outlets that it says pushed false conspiracies about the 2020 election. drew petrimoulx, nbc news, washington. it is 6:17. netflix is now providing a timeline for its password crackdown in the u.s. during their earnings call yesterday, the streaming giant said it's pleased with the results of its new paid sharing plans launched in canada, new

zealand and portugal, as well as spain. netflix was supposed to launch the program in the u.s. back in march, but it was delayed. now users can expect to get cut off as early as this summer. as variety tv editor explains to us, the new paid sharing plans can keep your streaming family together for good. >> if you're a member of, say, a household or a family member who doesn't live with their parents or with their family, then for a couple bucks extra a month, you can be an add-on, and so you can continue to watch netflix at your house. but it's not going to be a free ride like it once was. >> so my dad is safe for now. netflix says this is a new way to boost revenue and stay competitive. netflix is also revealing what caused the epic fail during what was supposed to be a live reunion of "love the blind". they say a technical bug is blamed for the delay. it was supposed to start at 8:00

on sunday night but didn't start until more than an hour later. the company says about 6.5 million ultimately watched the special the next day. trending this morning, what are you doing when it comes to your h 20 consumption? hydration stations are going viral on social media. take a look. >> i got this cute little lazy susan thing from marshals today that holds my syrups perfectly. >> if it takes that to drink water, why not? this is a video from a tiktok user sharing how they flavor their water. she has flavored syrups that she adds to her water bottle when she needs to hydrate. many users are sharing creations with the #watertok. >> i was thinking of the kid, it's horrible but we used to drink out of a hose when we were playing outside.

>> and then run back out and play. >> now we have hydration stations. >> but for real, she's, like, there's this new thing called a lazy susan. [ laughter ] >> and i'm just, like, oh, my gosh. >> can you do your weather in that voice? >> it's for tiktok today, i mean, is it going to be sunny? >> i like it! this is what's going on. let's bring it back. we are starting out with oakland this morning with a clear morning, and it's wednesday. we're making it over the hump. we're going to have a cool morning, but then it will shape up to be a nice day. make plans to get out there and enjoy. maybe you'll be going to the a's game to take in some of the sunshine. you'll need a jacket because at first pitch at 12:37 it's only going to be in the upper 50s. we make it into the low 60s and the wind will be picking up. i think the sun will make it feel comfortable.

the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. each day we've seen our high temperatures coming up a couple of degrees, and today we're in the mid-60s for much of the south bay and reaching 65 degrees in walnut creek. in oakland today, 63 degrees, and for the coast we're still in the upper 50s. cool there with some low 60s for palo alto, san francisco reaching upper 50s to low 60s today. and into the mid-60s for santa rosa, clear lake 62 degrees. and then as we go to the next few days, we have more clear mornings, so look up. late at night, early in the morning, you might want to check out the lyrid meteor shower. you may see 15 to 20 per hour, but it does continue to peak over the next few days, reaching the peak on the 22nd. we'll see the rain staying farther to the north and our temperatures warming up

significantly, with gilroy seeing the peak of the temperatures on friday, reaching 80 degrees. we'll stay in the 70s through next week. pleasant weather continues, feeling more like spring after one more cool day across the bay area. mike, do you have an alert for the eastshore freeway? >> we do. i guess the positive side would be for folks at the bay bridge because there's a crash on the eastshore freeway, traffic is held up, so a little bit later for the build. a lot lighter right now for 6:21. the crash is over here. we have a typical pattern, a little bit lighter than your typical wednesday, with spring breaks for some schools in the bay area. the big backup through richmond, approaching carlton boulevard, left lanes are reported blocked by a flipped vehicle. no word on specifics of injuries. i do know there are crews over in the area. the rest of the bay, a pretty smooth drive. there is a crash that was affecting folks off of the dumbarton bridge. i think it's off of the freeway

with no major injuries, either. >> thanks, mike. working to stop pollution on our beaches and parks. next on "today in the bay," the progress made during a statewide cleanup of our beloved shores and how you can help keep local parks clean this earth day. >> and don't forget, 30 rock is heading to the bay area.

suddenly suspended. he is sitting out tomorrow's crucial game three against the kings. reaction to his suspension and the reason the warriors are suddenly looking at a much steeper mountain. this is "today in the bay." good wednesday morning to you. 6:30 right now. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we want to get you started with the day. let's get a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall has been monitoring that and the temperatures. i'm not mad at this, kari. >> don't make him mad. >> right? it's been cool. i know we all want warmer weather, and we're going to get that as we get closer to the weekend. we're starting out cool this morning as you head out in pleasant hill and it's in the low 40s right now. we'll be at 60 degrees at 1:00, eventually making it up to the mid-60s there. upper 50s for san francisco and a high of 60 in san mateo. santa rosa will reach 66 degrees

and even warmer for tomorrow, some of us hitting the low 70s. we'll talk more about that coming up. mike, you're tracking a crash in the east bay. >> chp did issue an alert because it's the eastshore freeway in your commute direction, left lanes affected by this crash. holding up traffic, coming down through richmond. this is just before the blend with folks coming off of the bridge from san rafael. it's holding up traffic, so the bay bridge shows a lighter backup, even though the metering lights are activated. lighter flow overall throughout the east bay, but slowing on 680. once again, there's a crash approaching the sunol boulevard area. this has been a tough morning for the tri-valley. south 680 shows slowing because of a crash. no injuries reported. south bay, peninsula, moving well. back to you. >> thank you very much. breaking news coming into our newsroom, meta has started its latest round of layoffs. we have a live look at the campus this morning.

employees with backgrounds in technical user experience, software engineering, graphics programming and other roles, it was all announced on linkedin that they had been let go by the company. a meta folks person confirmed to cnbc just moments ago the cuts have started. at 6:32, a home depot in the east bay will reopen after one of its security guards was shot and killed during an apparent robbery. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell is joining us live outside of the store in pleasanton. what are police saying? i know they just released a statement, or at least home depot did. >> reporter: yeah, correct. home depot released a statement. good morning to you marcus and laura. the home depot in pleasanton is the scene where an employee was shot and killed yesterday while trying to prevent a theft. home depot just identified that employee as blake mose and they said we're heartbroken over this senseless tragedy. blake was our associate and friend and our hearts go out to his family and everyone who knew and loved him.

the shooting happened around 2:15 yesterday afternoon. pleasanton police say that blake was shot as he tried to stop a shoplifter, at least one employee we spoke with tells us blake, the man who was shot and killed, was a loss prevention worker. that was his role at the store. as for the suspects, police say alameda county deputies located the suspect vehicle and arrested the suspects miles away in oakland. a security expert we spoke with says this tragedy should not have happened, given the newest state regulations for security guards. >> the general rule of thumb, whether you're an employee, a security guard, a loss prevention, is observe and report. there's cameras in stores, there are witnesses, much better to be a witness and be alive than to be a participant and get severely injured or killed. >> i'm scared right now. i can never imagine that in pleasanton this kind of thing can happen.

>> reporter: pleasanton police say they will be giving an update after 9:00 this morning. home depot did shut down yesterday, but the location here in pleasanton did reopen for business about a half hour ago at 6:00 this morning. reporting live in pleasanton, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> it will be a tough day for those employees. thank you for the latest. it is 6:34 right now. a huge develop for dub nation and the warriors. the nba suspending draymond green for tomorrow's game three against the sacramento kings. the nba made the announcement late last night. in case you somehow missed the video, here is the main reason. the stomp he gave kings star domantas sabonis. it came after sabonis grabbed green's leg. the commissioner's office also cited green's history of unsportsmanlike conduct as cause for the game one suspension. before the news came down, we spoke with a former warrior who says, as all this happened, the warriors were just trying to gain momentum.

>> at this point in the game, steph is looking for draymond to throw it back to him so he can make a play. draymond knows it and he's trying to run back. if anybody wants to re-enact that, if somebody grabs your foot like that, you step out of balance, whatever it is, i think draymond also tried to embellish the pull so that the refs would see it. all in all, i mean, you don't want to see any of this in the game. you just want to see a clean basketball game. >> during the game, draymond could be seen interacting dramatically with kings fans. some believe this may also have led to the suspension. when you think about the nba's mention of green's history of unsportsmanlike acts, in the 2016 conference finals draymond was fined but not suspended for kicking oklahoma city's steven adams in the groin, and in the 2016 nba finals he took a swipe at lebron james, also hitting him in the groin in game four. after green was suspended for

game five, the cavaliers won the title. >> if the warriors lose tomorrow's game, they would be down three games to none. no nba team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a postseason series. happening today for you, a man accused in the grisly murder of his ex-girlfriend outside of their peninsula home is scheduled to appear in court for a plea hearing. earlier this year a judge determined that he was ruled competent to stand trial for the murder of 27-year-old karina castro. investigators say he killed her with a samurai sword last september with her children nearby. they share a young daughter. new opposition to san francisco's plan to provide reparations to black communities directly from the mayor's office. mayor london breed opposing the funding request recently introduced by supervisor walton. it would allocate $50 million from the city's general fund to

set up a new reparation office to implement actions from the reparations committee final report. the mayor made her position clear during an exchange with walton during last night's supervisors meeting. >> any plans to support the $50 million supplemental i introduced to fund the office of reparations, the staffing, the committee's approved reparations, the database to locate eligible participants. >> i have no plans at this time to support that request. thank you. we can continue to invest in programs that are clearly working while the work to finalize the reparation report continues. >> the committee's draft report recommends more than 100 different actions, including the possibility of $5 million payments to eligible recipients, a final report is due in june. now to east san jose where police just delivered an update after a man was hit by a car on white road in kentridge drive, not far from apartments, the

shopping center. the victim suffered life-threatening injuries, the driver stayed at the scene. it happened at about 6:15 last night. also a crash between a car and truck under investigation that happened on 1st street and matrix boulevard. one person was seen being put into an ambulance. no word on the condition of the other driver or what led up to that crash. happening today, a group of health care workers in the east bay are off the job. the group holding a one-day sympathy strike at ucsf benioff childrens' hospital in oakland, in solidarity with the national union of health care workers as they are set to hit the picket line later over contract negotiations. we did reach out to ucsf earlier this morning and we have not yet heard back. it is 6:39. let's take a live look. the sun is coming up in the sierra. this is palisades tahoe.

the resort will be open longer thanks to the record-breaking snowfall. palisades tahoe says it's broken the record for the most snowfall since the year 2000. the ski resort says they received 10 inches of snowfall monday night putting them at 710 inches of snow so far this season. the average season brings about 400 inches. this year palisades says they'll stay open until the fourth of july so you can ski in the morning and be on the lake in the afternoon. sounds very patriotic. >> it does. it will be definitely amazing to see that, especially with all of the sunshine that we have, and now after those massive storms we're still at more than three times the normal amount of snowfall, especially in the southern sierra. so we're setting records, not only going back the last 23 years, but also going all the way back to 1982 for some of our resorts. and we are heading into a weekend where we do have some more nice weather, with highs reaching into the upper 50s. but it's also going to be

warming up in the bay area. we're looking at temperatures in the low to mid-60s today, but then take a look at tomorrow's forecast, reaching 68 degrees in hayward and 71 in santa rosa. and it even warms up more heading into friday. mike, what's the update on that crash coming out of richmond? >> still there, still causing a slower drive. overall the east bay shows a typical pattern, slowing toward walnut creek, and even out of richmond toward san rafael, that part of the north bay. but getting there is an issue, down through richmond west 80 still reports a crash. that's where the backup is, but now more traffic coming off the bridge from san rafael adds to the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. more slowing for southbound 680, this crash still on the grid before you get to sunol boulevard. so gradual slowing as one lane is impacted and there's distraction. 84 coming in off of 580 just fine.

a smooth drive for the rest of the bay, but out of hayward, typical as the east bay builds. starting about 9:00 and through the afternoon, we're losing one lane for the tree trimming project that continues all week. you'll see slowing toward the santa cruz summit. working to make home care more accessible and affordable. still ahead this morning on "today in the bay," the immediate new action president biden is taking that should also help a lot of families struggling to make it in the bay. >> president biden also releasing his taxes and a little in intrusion at the white house, i mean really little. first, here is jaxon van derbeken. >> this is jaxon van derbeken with the investigative unit. you can see our story about how a health care worker is facing manslaughter charges in the deaths of two elderly people at a san mateo county assisted living facility on our website at nbcbayarea.com.

the numbers are lower but not a lot of drama. we do have another issue on the eastshore freeway. i think the crash may have cleared from west 80. we'll have that coming up. new this morning, president joe biden has signed an executive order to make child care and home care more affordable for americans. that order includes more than 50 directives to take steps towards fixing the nation's child care and long-term care system. since taking office, the president has pressed for more affordable child care solutions. and the president and first lady have released their tax returns to the public. >> scott mcgrew, this seems to be routine for presidents until recently. >> i wouldn't even bring it up necessarily, but donald trump never did this. now we're back to it. the bidens told the irs they earned $579,000 last year, mostly from their salaries. america pays the president of the united states $400,000 a

year, dr. jill biden made $82,000 from her job as a professor and the rest came from bidens' books, they paid 137,000 back to the federal government in federal tax. bidens have been sharing their tax returns with the public for the past 25 years. >> we expect the supreme court will make a decision related to abortion pills very soon. decisions usually come at 7:00 a.m. our time. the high court is reviewing an appellate court's decision to add restrictions to the use of pills. the court in turn modifying a district court decision to ban them altogether. this is the second time the supreme court has addressed abortion recently. the first, of course, the decision to overturn roe v. wade. at the time lawmakers welcomed that decision, some, anyway, saying abortion was finally up to the states and not the courts. but it's back to being up to the courts again. >> there's a new push in congress to bar members of congress from buying and selling

stocks. we heard from new pennsylvania senator john fetterman. >> lawmakers should not be able to profit off of the same companies that they are regulating. it's just that simple. letting members of congress trade stocks opens the door of corruption. lawmakers should be focused on getting results, not lining their own pockets. now, let's get this done. >> fetterman came back to work to the senate on monday, as did all the other senators, back from recess. the senator had checked himself into the hospital earlier for assistance with depression. >> finally, a little intrusion at the white house. a small child slipped through the bars of the outside fence. he was pretty easy to catch, although laura points out it took two of them. the first person to slip through the new fence. the secret service says sometimes older children manage to get themselves stuck in the fence. we'll be watching for that on social media. you can follow me on facebook at

scott mcgrew tv. >> it's the shot of the day. thanks, scott. >> pick some flowers. it's 6:48 right now. let's take a live look at oakland because in a few hours several organizations plan to deliver a petition calling for safer roadways in the city. they want city leaders to redirect $20 million of the oakland department of transportation -- to the oakland department of transportation as part of the city's next budget cycle. they say that more than 1,600 people have signed the petition. a presentation begins at 9:30 this morning on the steps of oakland city hall. and looking outside, it looks very nice out there. meteorologist kari hall, of course, has been monitoring what we can expect weather-wise. this is a live look at downtown san jose. a little cloudy this morning. we know that those temperatures are going to be a little cooler than we like, but you know what, kari, i'm going to take it. there's no rain. >> there's no rain and we're

eventually going to see the clouds rolling out. it is starting out cool this morning and gradually it will be warming up. great weather for baseball, especially with all the sunshine in oakland. first pitch today at 12:37. and it's only going to be in the upper 50s, so we do need jackets for the game out there. and it's going to be breezy. some of those gusts kicking up close to 20 miles per hour and reaching into the low 60s for today. as we zoom into the south bay, expect a high temperature of 65 in morgan hill, 63 in cupertino, and some mid to upper 60s for much of the east bay. livermore reaching 64 and all of the temperatures a degree or two above what we had yesterday. reaching 60 in san mateo. san francisco mostly in the upper 50s from the outer sunset to ingleside. napa reaching 66 degrees. it is starting to warm up. we're also going to continue with clear skies. so for the next few nights look up if you have a little bit of time. we have the lyrid meteor shower.

you have to be patient with this one. the clear skies continue, so maybe you'll have a chance, especially this weekend. all the rain is staying to the north of us going into next week and high pressure continues to build as our temperatures warm up. so in santa rosa we're going from mid-60s today to low 70s tomorrow, and look at the weekend, friday, saturday, in the low 80s. we're going to continue to have mild weather through much of next week. looking at gilroy as well, also going to reach 80 degrees. looking for some of those plants in the garden to continue to sprout and grow, especially with the sunshine and warmer temperatures. you may have to add a little water because we won't see any coming from the sky. mike, you're seeing a bigger backup at the bay bridge? >> did you add water and it grew the backup? what happened, more cars are able to get here because the crash, it looks like everything

is cleared out of richmond for west 80, it's blending with folks coming off of the bridge from san rafael. slower through the berkeley curve and at the bay bridge. that's a typical pattern so things should sort out for west 80. a build across the san mateo bridge, slowing down through hayward and getting toward union city. the south bay itself looking predictable. 87 and 101 showing a build. 680 south, the only unusual slowing through sunol and pleasanton. the crash is still on the shoulder at sunol boulevard. peninsula is clear but starting to build. a smooth drive between san francisco and the south bay. back to you. >> thank you very much. 6:51 right now. happening now, the santa clara county library district is holding two workshops teaching people how to protect themselves from cyber scams. it features santa clara county

district attorney, and those wanting to attend are encouraged to register on the library's website. >> a look at the top stories this morning, including new layoff rumors once again rocking facebook. employees are likely walking on eggshells in the wake of that new report. >> and some nervous feelings in oakland as well. now we know what day the eviction protections are going to ramp down for good. we'll tell you that coming up. >> coming up on "today," we are celebrating 90 years of laughter and love with the legendary

welcome back. we're moving you forward with a look at the top stories on "today in the bay." >> breaking news for you, oakland renters now know eviction protections will come to an end in the middle of the summer. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is joining us from the newsroom with that hard stop. >> some council members and housing advocates wanted a gradual wind-down, but now there is the firm date and that will be july 15th. under the ordinance that got its

first vote last night tenants can only be evicted if they cannot prove that their late rent is related to covid illness or job loss or some other pandemic impact. however, tenants can only be evicted if they owe more than one month's rent. landlords can still evict people under the just cause rule if they can prove substantial damage to the property or unreasonable behavior. the final vote on the ordinance largely a formality, is scheduled for may 2nd. both the city of oakland and housing advocacy groups plan massive outreach starting may 1st, which is 75 days before eviction proceedings can begin. >> thank you. home depot in the east bay will reopen this morning after one of its security guards was shot and killed during an apparent robbery. it happened yesterday at the location along johnson drive in pleasanton. police say that an employee was shot as he tried to stop a shoplifter. investigators say that they located the vehicle and arrested

the suspects in oakland. pleasanton police plan to deliver an update at 9:00 this morning. in a few statement this morning, home depot says that the victim, in part, quote, we're heartbroken over this senseless tragedy. blake was our associate and friend, and our hearts go out to his family and everyone who knew and loved him. also breaking at this hour, meta has started its latest round of layoffs. this is a live look at the campus. employees with technical backgrounds like user experience, software engineering, graphics programming and other roles announced on linkedin they had been let go by the company. a meta spokesperson confirmed to cnbc moments ago those cuts have started. the nba suspending draymond green for tomorrow's game three against the sacramento kings at chase center. the league made the announcement late last night. in case you somehow missed the video, here is the main reason, the stomp he gave kings star

domantas sabonis. now, this happened after he grabbed green's leg, but the commissioner's office also cited green's history of unsportsmanlike acts as a cause for the one-game suss speng. if the warriors lose tomorrow's game, they'll be down three games to none and no nba team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a post series game. >> let's get a look at the forecast before we go. >> it's nice and sunny, it will start to warm up over the next few days. as we take a look at our seven-day forecast, we have mid-60s for highs today, but look at the trend toward the end of the week, reaching 79 degrees on friday and up to 80 degrees on saturday. hopefully you have some plans to get outside because it will continue to be very pleasant, even into next week. and for san francisco, 60 today, still a little breezy, but we are also looking toward some warmer air as well. finally feeling like spring and it's going to stay for a while, after a cool start to this week. >> take off your coat and stay a

while. the roadways, you might be on the bridge a little bit longer westbound, typical pattern as you build west on your commute direction, coming toward the peninsula it's moving nicely. the peninsula itself moovs smoothly. the nimitz will get crowded because of a midday game. good news, also, 152, the overturned big rig has been cleared. >> oh, good. >> smooth sailing between gilroy and the rest of the drive on 156. >> that was at 3:00 in the morning when we were driving in. that's going to do it for us. we stream 24/7 on roku, xumo, and of course follow us at nbcbayarea.com. >> we'll be back at settlement in that fox defamation case. >> it is april 19th.
