attention for the most part. >> dada, i want to talk. >> well said. his daughter, olive green, and next to her, her brother, d.j. he brings them to the press conferences and says it's important to have them around. >> okay, tell them to stop copying you. >> stop copying me. >> you're copying me. >> okay, all right, one second. let papa finish. okay, we miss so much times with our kids, you know, and i think that's every working parent, right? it's not just us as basketball players. you have an obligation to provide for your child. growing up in the circumstances that i grew up in, i never want them to experience that. >> even though he's providing for his kids, he wants them to be around, he's empathizing with all working parents. we have different jobs. >> that's really real because

it's true, working parents. he just happens to have a very unique job. >> it's important for the father to be there, too, i love the fact that he's doing that. >> and the siblings are working it out. >> don't copy me. >> don't copy me. right now at 6:00, a story that's really heartbreaking and a shocker to a community. >> i've been part of a few cases of kids coming out of that area and i would never expect it of him. >> the suspected serial stabber in davis is now behind bars. his ties to the bay area and when he's expected to face a judge. >> another school day without teachers in oakland. they're heading to the picket lines once again. we'll have an update on where negotiations stand this morning and the hopes for a breakthrough to end that strike. this is "today in the bay." and a good friday morning to you. thanks so much for allowing us all to be a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. we'll see if it's friday light

out there. maybe. so intriguing. first, let's get a look at the forecast, because it's been an interesting week. at least we have a dry morning week, but it's cinco de mayo, so there's lots going on around the bay area. in san francisco it's going to be a cloudy morning. in the evening it's going to be rainy in some spots and those rain chances will increase. in san jose we're going to see temperatures headed for 64 degrees, mostly cloudy, but then later this evening we're going to see rain picking up. take a look at overall, our bay area microclimates and what to expect, another jacket day and if you'll be out late, keep that umbrella handy. it is friday, lighter volume of traffic, but unusually slow coming down west 880, gillman we lost a lane for some sort of road work. not sure why, maybe a pothole repair. in the backup there was a crash,

so there's more slowing with folks coming off the bridge from san rafael. at the bay bridge toll plaza we had the expected backup, maybe a tad bit lighter but the lights are on. highway 4, highway 37, we'll show you the rest of the bay, what we would typically expect. same thing for the south bay where there's a little blip for san jose, north 101. back to you. developing for you now, that suspect arrested in the deadly stabbing spree in davis will be in court today. and we now know that he is from the east bay. >> several people we talked to say he was a star student, with a loving family. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez joins us with what else we know. >> reporter: good morning to you. so this is what 21-year-old carlos dominguez looks like today after his arrest on murder charges. but people who knew him in east oakland where he grew up paint a pretty different picture. dominguez was arrested in one of the davis parks near the uc campus where a student was stabbed to death. police say 15 witnesses saw him at that park and that he was

wearing the very clothes witnesses reported seeing the day the second victim karim najm was stabbed to death. carlos dominguez is remembered as a bright student-athlete who played football, soccer and track. a former coach said his parents were active volunteers who were proud of their son. >> he was just wanting to learn and play where needed, you know, wasn't that aggressive. so i didn't think he had an aggressive bone in him. i don't know where it would come from. i don't know if something happened between the time he left high school and uc davis. >> a uc davis statement reveals one thing that happened, dominguez was separated from the university last tuesday for academic reasons, after three years as a student there. that was two days before the first victim, david breaux, was stabbed to death. as officers searched the apartment dominguez shared with

several roommates, neighbors were just as shocked. >> it's insane to think that we all walk our dogs, walk to our friends' houses, to think the guy lives five feet away from us. >> carlos dominguez is expected to be arraigned in yolo county today. the third victim in the stabbing spree remains in the hospital. she did survive. we reached out to dominguez's family. we have not heard a response from them at this point. laura and marcus. >> thank you very much for the latest, kris. and we, of course, are going to continue to follow this story closely today. we sent you an alert when news of the arrest first broke. be sure to download our free nbc bay area news app to get alerts sent straight to you. well, developing now, investigators are looking into a deadly shooting in san francisco's western district. this happened around 7:00 last night on eddy street near scott. officers arrived and found a man with a gunshot wound. he was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

so far, no arrests have been made. anyone with information is encouraged to contact sfpd. families in oakland can expect more of the same as teachers enter day two of their open-ended strike. there's one new thread of hope this morning. we have a live look outside oakland high school where teachers plan to picket later this morning. once again, schools will be open but classes will not be taught. talks last night ended with seemingly little momentum, but now a mediator will be brought in to help with the bargaining process. state school superintendent tony thurman is getting involved as he did when the two sides were at an impasse back in 2019. >> my job is to make sure the conversation continues, that everyone is talking, and that we're looking at every single option for how to find some resolution. >> now, last time thurman got involved, an agreement was reached after 30 hours of mediation. bob redell will have a live update in our next half hour. new details this morning, the health department starting to test that soil near the

richmond refinery. crews began collecting samples yesterday. you may remember last thanksgiving a flaring event spread ash in the surrounding neighborhoods for several hours. health leaders later determined that the ash had significant levels of potentially dangerous metals. the county warned people not to eat any fruit or vegetables they had grown. people are frustrated and want to know how long this is going to take. >> come on, november, there's december, january, february, march, april. we're now into may. how hard is it to test what exactly is in the soil? >> everyone is just kind of, you know, waiting to hear whether it's safe or not to consume what they had, still planting the best that they can. ultimately trying not to eat anything if it could be hazardous. >> lab results from this soil sample collection should be available later this month. taking a live look outside on this now friday morning, cinco de mayo, i believe this is

san jose. it's a dry look, at least right now, as we've had rain showers. kari has a look at our forecast for today. what are we in store for? >> it's going to be cloudy to start, but we will see another wave of rain coming in later this evening. only a few peeks of sunshine today and temperatures remain cool, only reaching into the 50s and low 60s. if you're going to the sierra, there's going to be rain, possibly thunderstorms, and a little bit of snow for those upper elevations. next week we'll have a chance to dry out. we start to see the rain returning to the north bay at the evening commute time, about 5:00, and it picks up in intensity and becomes more widespread as we go into the overnight hours. most of us will be sleeping while the rain is hitting the roof, but we'll see it pushing out in time for saturday morning into the afternoon. so we'll talk more about that. mike has a look at where we can find lower gas prices. >> we try to judge lower, the past few months, it's below $4.

squeaking in just below $4, best price on the chart, tri-valley, the safeway on dublin boulevard at $3.99. milpitas, $4, it's on south avenue in milpitas. and then american canyon, we have napa county's best, $4.39 at the safeway on american canyon road. that's with the help of all of you who are reporting through gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, you're all getting along pretty well. we did have a crash on the eastshore freeway that has cleared. we've got a new crash on 580, but eastbound. it might affect folks exiting at isabelle. watch the off ramp. we're looking at travel times, commute direction 580 moves just fine out of the altamont, vasco is showing a little slowing, volume build. back to you. >> thank you, mike. be careful the next time you get a parking ticket. it may be bogus. coming up, where these phony tickets are being found and the

sign that you should look for. >> the jobs numbers, the steam train that is the american economy keeps chugging ahead. let's take you out to the futures where wall street is ready to buy. >> and it is cinco de mayo, but you probably won't find many celebrating in mexico. we dive into the history of the holiday and a special way to lebrate in the south bceay

right now it's 6:12. as we take a live look outside in palo alto, a nice, quiet start to our friday morning. it's most cloudy and as of now no rain. rain chances increase later this evening, so we have a few more hours to get out and about and not have to worry about lugging around the umbrella. we'll talk about the return of rain and look at the weekend forecast in a few minutes. >> the crash cleared near golden gate, westbound 880, speeding toward the toll plaza where the metering lights were turned on. the san mateo bridge, that's an aggressive lane change. traffic flows smoothly, but we have someone in the service lane. it doesn't look like there are brakes tapping. we'll monitor the drive. good morning. very happy friday to you. apple's tim cook talked to analysts and reporters about profits and plans. no big layoffs, he says. a dividend and stock buyback for shareholders as predicted.

now, the breaking news, i don't know how many times i have stood before you and said, well, that jobs report was way bigger than expected. maybe i have to do a better job with my predictions. but the jobs report number for april just came out a few minutes ago, and that jobs report was way bigger than expected. bigger than last month's, in fact. the american economy added 253,000 jobs in april, in the midst of bank failures and interest rate hikes. the unemployment rate falls to 3.4%, back to historic lows we have not seen since the '60s. now, there were some downward revisions to the past month's estimates, but the american economy is just a stream train. the fed, of course, trying to slow that train down to fight inflation, but hourly wages were up. we're making 4.4% on average this year compared to last more, and the current inflation rate is 5%. so we are almost there. >> pacific western is the latest

bank in trouble, though the bank says customers aren't pulling their money out, which turns a bank's problems from bad to disaster. pacific western is based in beverly hills. these regional banks like pacific western or silicon valley bank in wealthy silicon valley, had a lot of rich clients, and you would think rich clients are good clients. but when a bank has depositors who have more than $250,000 in deposits, they are more likely to take that money out because it's not protected by the fdic. it's over the limit. >> vice president harris met with leading ai companies at the white house on thursday to talk about the future and perhaps future regulation of ai. we don't have video of the meeting, other than some shaky cell phone video, but here is sam altman, the guy behind chatgpt, arriving at the white house gate. >> cnbc here.

what are you looking forward to today? >> i am excited to have a discussion. i think it's important and a good time for it. i'm super late. >> do you think the white house is moving quickly enough on regulations? >> hard to say, but i think they're seriously engaged and want to get to the right place. >> he's not late, super late, with a meeting with the vice president of the united states. >> was he super late? >> possibly. but, yes, as we were talking earlier, late stresses me out in a way that in the cab or the uber ride to the airport, if we're five minutes behind schedule -- i'm pretty low key about everything else. >> a lot of viewers have seen me running through the airport. >> or heard your name. >> the doors are shutting. >> that happened to me once. i made the flight. >> thanks, scott. let's take a live look out

at san francisco this morning. there's a warning you need to listen up for, because parking tickets on your windshield might be fake. so sf mta confirms scammers have been leaving bogus tickets on cars all over the city and the ticket tells drivers to pay immediately using the qr code, only they're not paying the city, just the scammers. they say a good way to check to see if your ticket is real is to look it up online. it should also have a blue logo that says sfmta at the top of that ticket. >> getting so creative. >> a lot of people get them and they want to pay it fast. >> i don't do that. >> we'll work on it. you know what today is, cinco de mayo, and while it's relatively minor, the day in mexico, the festivity is really an excuse here in the u.s. for people to indulge in marg reet

margaritas out and tacos. >> contrary to popular belief, today does not mark mexico's independence day. rather, today honors the 1862 battle of pueblo where they defended french forces from invading the town. so while you might want tacos today, they'll be eating this traditional dish of mole. it's a thick sauce made with chocolate, chiles. it's great. gilroy cinco de mayo celebration is still in need of donations for their toy drive. they're teaming up to provide toys to the children of farmworkers in santa clara county. the idea is to give back to the families of workers who took care of us during the pandemic. you can drop off toys at the

washington youth center in san jose. i'm going to try to make a point to do that. the farmworker caravan is amazing. they supply toiletries, they suffered a lot during the flooding down there. >> and during the pandemic, but also every day. >> thank a farmworker. if you sit down to eat at the table, their hands have been on something. >> every drink or shot you take, you give a toy. >> hey, all right. >> sounds like a challenge. >> sounds like a lot of toys. we're celebrating, there's a lot going on around the bay area. we've also had a lot of rainfall, and it's going to be coming back later this evening. there's also going to be many events going on around oakland, so we're starting out at 53 degrees this morning as you head out, and it's going to be a cool day once again, heading for the upper 50s. rain will return later on this evening. and we're only going to reach 62 today, 64 in hayward, low 60s for much of the north bay. so let's talk about the timeline of that rain.

it's right in time for the evening commute for the north bay where we start to see spotty showers coming in. if you're out later this evening in the north bay for dinner, that's when you're going to need the umbrella. it also starts to make its way into the inland contra costa county area, and then as we go into the rest of tonight, rain picks up in coverage and intensity. but if you have some saturday plans, the good thing is that a lot of that rain is going to be clearing out around 9:00 to 10:00. at 4:00, it is bright and sunny, and we're seeing the rain winding down. also on sunday, it's going to be dry, but as we start the new week, another round of rain will be coming in. so we're going to see the spotty showers, mostly a light rain start to our monday, and then it could wrap up with another spotty shower or two on tuesday. after that, we're going to be drying out as the storm trek heads farther to the north. our temperatures will be warming up. with all of this rain, as well

as sierra snow, we're checking in on our reservoirs. where do they stand right now? even with the beginning of the sierra snowmelt happening, lake oroville, shasta, already at 98% of capacity. trinity lake, which fills up more slowly and relies more on sierra snowmelt is a lot lower, so that's good news as we are going toward warmer temperatures next week. looking at our inland temperatures and our forecast, some early-morning showers on saturday, clear the rest of the day. sunday is also a great pick of the weekend, but then on monday as we're going back to work, some spotty showers will be returning. mike, you're checking on the san mateo bridge. >> because over here in the service lane we had a disabled vehicle sitting there. it has since gotten back into traffic. everything moves well. this is friday. so we're at speed still, despite the earlier issue, which is not an issue now.

dumbarton bridge and 880 coming down into hayward out of san leandro moves smoothly. mostly green sensors. mostly orange and yellow, recovering from the earlier big backup as folks are traveling toward gillman, the earlier crash, the build out of the bay bridge toll plaza because the metering lights are still on. the rest of the bay, mostly green sensors. traffic starting to feed in off of san martin with much more mild slowing than previous days this week. coming up next, nbc bay area responds. >> scammers are preying on workers when they're most vulnerable, looking for a job. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we're sharing one man's run-in with an hr imposter to protect you next. >> plus, the oakland zoo is saying farewell to a beloved elephant. elephant. this girl is now

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..

new this morning, the oakland zoo will soon say good-bye to one of its beloved african elephants. last month, lisa, one of the elephants passed away from age-related health issues, leaving her best friend donna alone. zoo keepers say female elephants are deeply social and create life-long bonds. the zoo made the decision to move her to an elephant sanctuary in tennessee so she

can join a larger group of female elephants. donna will move in in june. i hope they're accepting of donna. it's hard to make friends when you're in different stages of life. >> this is true. tennessee is a great place. >> the golden girls of tennessee. you know what? searching for a job, that can be stressful. we all know that. now adding to that stress, even more stress, because scammers are targeting job seekers. >> consumer investigator chris chmura has a warning. >> reporter: since the pandemic started, the feds have tracked a sharp rise in fake job scams designed to steal people's identity and money. diego martinez in san francisco applied for a work-from-home tech job. fast forward, a recruiter said he got the gig and started asking for lots of personal info. diego started asking questions. >> i just don't want to be scammed. and as soon as i said the word scammed, there was radio silence for, like, two seconds, and they

hung up the phone. >> reporter: the real company diego thought he was applying to, said the job posting was bogus and the recruiter was just a savvy imposter mimicking the legitimate company. people all over the country are falling for this. tonight at 11:00, we'll walk you through several warning signs, plus why tech workers should be especially cautious. diego contacted us online. you can, too. snap the qr code on your screen to fill out our consumer complaint form online. i'll join you again tonight at 11:00. >> thanks, chris. a lot more ahead this morning, including a new turn. this is in the wake of a violent altercation caught on video. the man who initially wound up in the hospital is now apparently himself the suspect of a police investigation. we're going to tell you what the chief is telling police commissioners this morning. >> reporter: day two of the teacher strike here in oakland,

the big gun brought in to try to help both sides come to an agreement. stay witus. you'reh w

we're going to be in solidarity and support however we can. >> right now at 6:30, classrooms in oakland without teachers again today. this is as the strike enters a second day. a live update ahead for you from the picket lines on the ongoing negotiations and the state leader now stepping in to try to

broker a deal. >> a huge win for the warriors in their quest for another nba championship. the highlights from their late-night victory and the backup off the bench who came in and up big time. this is "today in the bay." 6:30 on your friday morning. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we're going to get to the top stories in just a moment. first, we are counting down to the coronation of king charles iii. here is a live look at buckingham palace where royal watchers are excited about all of this, the excitement truly is growing out there at 6:45 this morning. we're going to take you live to london with a look at the final preparations. >> get your big hats ready. maybe you're headed to golden gate fields for this weekend's run of the roses. >> there's so much going on this weekend and the weather is staying busy, with another chance of showers moving in. but it may not impact your weekend plans. so let's get you started with a

look at walnut creek this morning. it is a mostly cloudy morning, only 50 degrees, and it will be a slow warm-up, only reaching into the low 60s later today. we're also going to see the return of showers, first in the north bay, right around dinner time, around santa rosa and moving into marin county. eventually that will be moving toward napa county as well, and spreading into the east bay by late this evening, 9:00 to 10:00, we could hear rain falling as we move through the east bay. most of the rain comes through overnight. as you're heading out on saturday morning, the rain will be moving out. i'll talk more about that and also the weekend forecast. >> thanks, kari. in just a few hours, teachers will be back on the picket lines in oakland for day two of their strike. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell is live this morning from oakland high. i know a lot of people have been talking about this and a lot of parents are worried. do we know if there's been any kind of movement with contract

negotiations? >> reporter: not that we're aware of. good morning to you, marcus and laura. we do know the state superintendent of education, tony thurman, has been brought in to try to mediate a deal between oakland unified and the roughly 3,000 teachers, counselors and other staff who work at oakland high behind me and the other schools in the district. we're expecting the teachers will picket in front of these schools. one of the lead negotiators says her team not only hasn't received a meaningful contract proposal in writing from the district, but they just learned they've been bargaining with negotiators from the district who are powerless to finalize a deal. >> the school board has not given the ousd bargaining team the authority to settle this contract, so that's really frustrating to know that that's the case. we have been bargaining for seven months. why has this not been resolved? >> my job is to make sure the conversation continues, that everyone is talking and we're looking at every single option

for how to find some resolution. >> reporter: that was tony thurman, the state superintendent of education. when he stepped in four years ago as mediator, the teachers and oakland unified were able to come to an agreement within 30 hours of mediation of his arrival. in a statement last night, ousd says its team has worked day and night trying to hammer out an agreement and felt they had, quote, closed the gap significantly, making an unprecedented compensation offer to our teachers, the superintendent said that offer totals nearly $70 million. again, quote, a historic offer. but the district says some of the things the union wants are too expensive or outside their authority, like ending student homelessness and transportation for all students. school will be open again today, but there's not going to be any teachers. there will be no instruction, but if students show up, staff from the central office will be

here to ensure there is some supervision and the schools are safe for students who do want to show up. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> that's certainly one a lot of people continue to follow. hopefully they can end the negotiations soon. >> for the latest details, we'll continue to follow the story on air and online at nbcbayarea.com. also, make sure to download our free nbc bay area app to get alerts sent straight to your phone. crews are fighting a massive commercial building fire in los angeles. this is a warehouse fire. it is in commerce. this is a live look at it right now. now, earlier, about an hour ago, those flames were really high. you can see the smoke billowing into the air. it looks like firefighters have had a chance to kind of contain this fire, as you see them kind of hitting it from all angles. nearly 100 firefighters responded. they've been able to keep that fire contained to the building, which we understand contains textiles.

there doesn't appear to be any threats to homes as it is a commercial area, so far no reports of any injuries. happening now in fremont, police are looking for these two missing 10-year-old girls. we want tou look at your screen closely because they were last seen in the area of cecelia court near ardenwood elementary school, the two girls described as asian, 4'7" tall and 50 pounds. anyone with information, you are asked to call fremont police. new developments in the case of a former san francisco fire commissioner involved in a violent confrontation with a homeless man don carmignani being investigated by police. he mau recall he suffered head injuries that led to a homeless man being arrested and then released because carmignani never testified during a preliminary hearing. the hearing included video showing what defenders say was carmignani targeting homeless people with bear spray, which they argued triggered the

violent confrontation. while the case is active, police are investigating the bear spray attacks, that's what chief bill scott said this week. carmignani's team has not issued a response but has previously denied he was seen in that video. 6:36 right now. the warriors responding to their adversity like true champions, winning last night's game against the lakers to even out the series. >> after the game dub nation ecstatic. >> warriors! >> we had a first messed-up game but made up for it today. warriors in six. >> the hair, the makeup, everything, a true warrior fan. those fans out there packing the center, zendaya was there with her beau and actor danny devito attending the game. the warriors completely turned things around from game one. this is all thanks to the defense that they have, the

warriors also shot 50% of their three-pointers. klay topping the team high with 30 as the warriors win 127-100. steph curry added another 20. and green had 15 off the bench. >> not bad. so we've got to just keep that trend going. on a roll. >> and hitting the road, too. so down in l.a. they're dealing with rain today, if you're going out this evening. in time for the game tomorrow it's going to be clearing up and just as cool as what we're going to see here with low 60s. a tip-off in the evening is going to be breezy, and as we go into the late evening hours, make sure you're packing kind of the same weather you would have in the bay area with some low 60s. we're also going to have a little bit closer to home the giants playing at oracle park. expect the showers to start, a chance of rain and temperatures in the low 50s. bring the ponchos and all of the layers because it's going to be windy and also in the low 50s.

now, tomorrow for the cinco de mayo car show that's happening in san jose, this is going to be a little soggy to start. so we're watching out still for lingering showers throughout the morning, but it will begin to clear out as we go into the afternoon. and by the time the pleasanton wine and art stroll begins, it's going to be all clear, but still chilly as the temperatures reach into the low 60s. and the later we get in the evening, the cooler it's going to be as we drop down to the low 50s. and speaking of cool, take a look at the live shot at palisades tahoe. if you will be heading up to the sierra this weekend, there will be a slight chance of thunderstorms and high temperatures reach the upper 0s. with the rain ongoing, it could change over to snow. it does clear out for the end of the weekend. mike has a look ahead for the commute. >> pretty standard for a friday. no major problems. the build finally in the last few minutes filled in all lanes at the bay bridge toll plaza and it continues to build on a typical pattern westbound across the bridges and then out of the

contra costa county drive for highway 4. we have no major issues right now around the city, but we do know that oracle park they have the giants game tonight, as well as a concert over at chase center. two reasons for crowds to build in china basin and off the bay bridge. keep that in mind. especially after the concerts get out and some folks are driving around the city after celebrating, perhaps some of the cinco de mayo festivities as well. and across town, all weekend, harding park is having the lpga event, so the golf course will have spectators. down the peninsula over the weekend, no weekend service for caltrain between menlo park and santa clara station. there will be a bus bridge in place. check the website. back to you. 6:40 right now. the exodus out of san francisco continues. another business pulling the plug on its downtown san francisco location. coming up next on "today in the bay," the details behind this latest closure. >> and in washington, perhaps some new top brass in the white

house. we'll take you out to the big board after we got that very strong -- well, we don't have the big board, but we do know we have very strong jobs numbers as well. >> and honoring chinatown. a look at the new release from nike celebrating one iconic bay area location. stay withs. stay withs. you're w uat 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.

happy friday to you. it is 6:43, as we head to the north bay in santa rosa, temperatures start out in the

mid-40s. it's going to be a cloudy morning. you don't yet need the umbrella, but by the evening commute that rain will be returning to the north bay. so i'm timing it out for you and helping you make weekend plans. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. a little gray on the roads, but you see the top of the screen there's sunshine beaming through. we have palo alto moving nicely for 101 and then in the east bay, fremont also moving smoothly. moving well. >> thanks so much. 6:43 right now. another hit for downtown san francisco, which loses another prized business on market street. this time t-mobile has closed its doors. the "chronicle" reports t-mobile moved out three weeks ago. the massive two-story building on the corner of ellis and market now sits empty. t-mobile did not respond to the "chronicle" request for comment, but this is the latest in a mass exodus of stores in the area surrounding mid-market and union

square. well, president biden has his eyes on a new chairman of the joint chief of staff. >> scott mcgrew, more history would be made if and when charles brown takes charge. >> that's exactly right. good morning. the american military would then be led by two people of color at the top, secretary of defense and potentially a new chairman of the joint chiefs. here is general brown as he was promoted to the head of the united states air force by president trump. brown is a former f-16 fighter pilot, and for a while ran the air force's version of top gun. the current chief of staff, mark milley, hasn't done anything wrong, it's just tradition to cycle through a number of generals in the top position. milley is army, current number two on the joint chiefs is navy, so it's the air force's turn. if the name charles brown sounds familiar, it may be because

general brown went viral with a video he recorded shortly after the murder of george floyd. brown was at the time in charge of thousands of men and women in the pacific theatre, who he says were unnerved by the killing. >> as the commander of pacific air forces, senior leader in the air force, and an african american, the navy may be wondering what i'm thinking about the current events surrounding the tragic death of george floyd. here's what i'm thinking about. i'm thinking about how full i am with emotion, not just for george floyd, but the many african americans that have suffered the same fate as george floyd. >> the judge in the civil lawsuit against donald trump alleging rape and defamation will give the trump team until sunday to decide whether to mount a defense. as of right now, trump's lawyers say they won't make any defense. the jury this week in the case watched that infamous access hollywood tape in which trump said, quote, when you're a star, they let you do it, you can do

anything. trump did not appear in person in court, but in a taped deposition, which was shown to the jury, a lawyer asks him, is that true, can you grab them? well, historically that is true with stars, trump said. i guess that's always been largely true, not always, but largely true. fortunately or unfortunately, he said. >> scott, thank you. now to a live look at buckingham palace where we are less than 24 hours away from king charles' coronation. >> jay gray is live in london with an inside look at some of the historic pieces that will be a part of this coronation. good morning, jay. lucky assignment. >> reporter: agree, good morning, laura, marcus. it's a great assignment, a great eye on history. you're right, we're going to see some fascinating things that are a part of the service. there's also so many souvenirs associated with the royal family. we've been showing you some of

that through the morning. here is the coronation plate with the stamp of the coronation and the king's crest on the back. and i have a little bell, which i hear is how you get marcus to the studios in the morning. the coronation bell right here. the good stuff, it's all going to be inside the abbey here. the party has started in london. tens of thousands gathering, some already grabbing a front row seat for a glimpse of history. >> there's kind of a desire to be awed, to think that something magical is happening. >> magic draped in a thousand years of history and tradition, inside westminster abbey king charles will sit in a chair commissioned for king edward the i, his regalia will include multiple scepters, one with a

cross that contains the largest colorless diamond. the centerpiece, st. edward's crown. framed in solid gold and set with precious stones, a part of every coronation since 1661. >> these items all symbolize different aspects of the king's power. >> reporter: another symbol, the 260-year-old gilded carriage the king and queen consort will ride in during the procession. >> it's the second oldest working coach in this country, built in 1762, and therefore it's an incredibly special thing to see, really harkins back to a couple of centuries earlier, a world we probably can't imagine today. >> reporter: history that will return, if only for a few hours during saturday's celebration. >> it will be fun to watch. nbc's coverage of the coronation of king charles iii starts tomorrow at 2:00 a.m. right here on nbc bay area. no doubt, you'll see some of the

highlights later if you don't get up at 2:00 a.m. like we do. trending this morning, a new pair of high-tops inspired by san francisco's chinatown. >> these kicks from nike, the golden mountain on the hill below, so the reference is the california gold rush. that's what that's about. and now immigrants carved out a place in san francisco to preserve their traditions. nike says the lotus flowers on the sole and tongue are supposed to give the wearer good fortune. i like that. nike partnered with the asian american foundation to make this limited edition shoe, which will only be available at a pop-up store in the city starting next tuesday. >> very cool. >> i think in mandarin, i think a lot of dialects will just say san francisco, but in mandarin they still use the chinese translation, they call it golden

mountain. >> which is perfect. >> exactly. speaking of the gold rush, have you heard all of the snow, they're saying once the runoff comes, it's evolving into a lot of people saying there could be another gold rush. you know, unearthing a lot of gold pieces in them thar hills. >> stake our claim. we're going to make plans to get out and maybe find a little something-something. it's been pretty amazing to see this kind of weather with more rain, as well as for sierra snow. we're starting out with cloudy skies this morning, and there will still be some spotty showers today. but most of it coming later this evening. most of today will be dry, temperatures in the 50s and 60s. weekend rain chances and sierra snow, but then next week we'll be drying out with a gradual warm-up on tap. we're going to see temperatures

only reaching the low to mid-60s, 59 in san francisco, while hayward and mountain view will see a high of 64 degrees. our hour-by-hour outlook shows by 6:00, the north bay, quite a bit of the north bay is already going to see rain coming through. then it continues to spread into the rest of the bay area late this evening, and then overnight hours we're going to see the heaviest of that rain, but then as we're waking up, heading out for saturday, it's going to start to push off to the east. we'll get clearing as we go throughout the day. so your saturday afternoon plans are looking good. it's just going to be chilly and breezy. and we continue with that kind of weather into sunday. as we go back to work on monday, there could be a new round of rain coming in, and at this time it looks fairly light, about a quarter inch of rain or less, with more light sierra snow. and this could wrap up on tuesday, with some spotty showers and then the rest of the week is looking dry as the storm trek heads farther to the north and high pressure builds. we'll start to see some dryer conditions. looking at our reservoirs, we've

been keeping an eye on this as the sierra snowmelt just gets started, and a lot of our north bay and northern california reservoirs are already over 90% capacity. lake shasta is at 98% of capacity. now, trinity lake fills up a lot more slowly, but once the sierra snowmelt begins, that's most likely going to come up very quickly. and we're also seeing overall our statewide average for our largest ones at about 75% of capacity. and there still will be a little more wet weather headed our way, once again tomorrow morning, another chance on monday, possibly tuesday as well. but then we do start a warming trend, highs in the low to mid-70s next week, and san francisco will have a soggy start to the weekend, but the rest of the forecast is looking mainly dry. how does it look on the san mateo bridge? >> it looks great. by this time most days we see a lot of slowing, and then we had the disabled vehicle there, we had some aggressive lane changes. we're looking at a smooth drive right now.

there is slowing almost exactly right here where i'm pointing, where the flat section starts to rise onto the high-rise, and that's where we typically see speeds dip. that cleared up over the last two minutes, westbound 84, the dumbarton bridge also very smooth. a little build off of 238 and toward fremont and union city, mild slowing for the nimitz. no problem on the peninsula. a nice, smooth drive in the south bay, feeding into san jose, just a bit more slowing around capital expressway and 680. back to you. >> thank you, mike. it is 6:53. happening now, a memorial for the vice chancellor of san jose evergreen community college district, jose escobar passed away in mexico. the interim chancellor is hosting a memorial for escobar that starts at 10:00 a.m. at san jose city college. the jaguars sports complex. a quick look at the top stories this morning, including the shock and heartbreak, the suspected serial stabber in davis is now behind bars. his ties to the bay area and
