mid-50s, we do have our usual start to the day. but then as we go into late morning into the afternoon, you're going to see temperatures heading up, and especially for the inland valleys it's going to be much hotter compared to yesterday, with san jose reaching 82 degrees. we'll see a high of 83 in santa rosa, while san francisco will reach into the mid-60s. take a look at livermore and morgan hill, upper 80s there, and 91 in fairfield. we'll talk about the weather as we go throughout the week coming up. mike, you're already tracking a few crashes. >> we've got a lot of work going on. a number of incidents on the grid. no major injuries, but highway 84 we do have a crash and there are a number of vehicles involved. if you travel this cut-through here coming toward sunol, we do have a shift for the lanes as well. so this vehicle activity blocking just one lane is causing a good amount of slowing before you get to 680. the northbound side has crews

from overnight work. there's another crash on highway 4. the commute direction is coming toward the bay bridge moving smoothly through contra costa county and alameda county. over to you. >> thank you so much. a b.a.r.t. train and truck collide on the tracks. this happened last night at about 11:30 between fruitvale and lake merritt stations in oakland. investigators say the pickup truck was driving down east 8th street and crashed into the b.a.r.t. tracks. then an oncoming train crashed into the truck. a passenger on the train also hurt. police do not take the truck driver to the hospital or into custody. b.a.r.t. workers are there, they have cleared the tracks, and normal operations have resumed. this morning, angry protesters are not giving up in san francisco, they are demanding criminal charges be filed against the walgreens security guard who shot banko brown. >> this comes after that surveillance video shows the moments leading up to his death.

"today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab live for us there with more details this morning. >> reporter: good morning, marcus and laura. there were calls to release that surveillance video, but the district attorney had said she would not release it because of the ongoing investigation. however, as you both mentioned, now the video is released and the reactions to it are growing louder. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: protesters gathered last night in san francisco outside the walgreens on market and 4th street. they marched to city hall, demanding criminal charges against the security guard, michael wayne anthony, who shot banko brown. this coming hours after d.a. brooke jenkins released surveillance video of the shooting and the moments leading up to it. it shows a fight between brown, a suspected shot shoplifter and

anthony. banko brown is lifted off the ground and put into a chokehold. brown starts to leave, but then turns around and motions toward the guard. the guard said he felt threatened and then shot brown. protesters and members of san francisco's board of supervisors say more needs to be done. d.a. jenkins says she is taking all sides into account. >> with the video that has no sound, no audio to it, it is difficult to have context to what is going on, and that is why we must listen to the security guard's statement, the witness statements. >> if you allow a black person to be executed in the street, that tells me that black lives don't matter to you. yes, a black person most certainly can feel that way, unfortunately. >> reporter: board president aaron peskin says he will ask attorney general rob bonta and

the u.s. department of justice to review jenkins' decision not to press charges. meanwhile, an nbc bay area legal expert said the brown family may have a civil lawsuit against walgreens. laura, back to you. >> thank you very much for the latest there, ginger. police questioned the walgreens security guard two separate times, each lasting about three hours. he said he feared for his life and said walgreens repeatedly changed its shoplifting policies. >> at one point, it was hands on. i think it's still hands on now, you know, um, to be honest. they kept on changing it back and forth. now it's like particular, it's like, okay, if you suspect or if you seen it, then -- then you can go that route. but if you haven't seen anything, you can't follow nonobody, and i never did that. >> among the other new detetail from the interviews, he told

"today in the bay"'s drew petrimoulx is live in washington. there's still so much up in the air right now. >> reporter: good morning, marcus. over the last several days we've heard some optimism from the president and from other people in congress, but it's not clear what a potential deal would look like and time is running out. >> what's your message for the speaker? >> reporter: with the fate of the fragile u.s. economy in their hands, the president and top congressional leaders meet at the white house today. the treasury secretary says if congress does not lift the debt ceiling, the federal government could run out of funding as soon as june 1st. over the weekend, president

biden sounding optimisticeally desire on their part as well as ours to reach an agreement and i think we'll be able to do it. >> reporter: but publicly the two sides appear far apart. republicans are demanding spending cuts in return for their votes to raise the debt ceiling. democrats accuse the gop of holding the economy hostage and republican house speaker kevin mccarthy says no deal is in sight. >> i don't think we're in a good place. >> mccarthy says they need a deal by this weekend in order to get legislation through congress. >> we just had our secretary say june 1st we could run out of money. we only have so many days left. >> it would be a catastrophe. no one should play with it. no one should flirt with it. no one should hold it hostage. >> reporter: the stakes are clear. what's not is whether lawmakers can reach a deal before time runs out. now, on monday, treasury secretary janet yellen sent a letter to congressional leaders, saying waiting to the last

minute to increase the debt limit could cause serious harm to consumer confidence, raise interest rates for borrowers and negatively impact the credit rating of the u.s. drew petrimoulx, nbc news. >> thank you. the internal revenue service is promising to look into a recent stanford study finding racial disparities in taxpayer audits. in january, stanford's institute for economic policy research found black taxpayers were three to five times more likely to be audited. a study pinned it on a computer algorithm used to spot tax cheats. yesterday the head of the irs sent a letter to congress outlining plans to address the issue and keep tax enforcement laws fair and impartial. the commissioner says in part, quote, i will stay laser-focused on this to ensure that we identify and implement changes prior to next tax filing season. johnson & johnson's long stalled covid vaccine now

moon bay, then you head over to redwood city, it's 78 degrees and 80 in palo alto. for san francisco, we're up to 66 downtown, the mission district 67 degrees. take a look at clear lake, reaching 85 degrees and 81 in novato. let's talk about our water year, where we're seeing those rainfall totals right now still standing well over what we typically get throughout the year between october into the current date. now, oakland is doing the best at 183% of its normal amount of rain, and most likely we're not going to see any more rain, at least as we look at this forecast. but check out the sierra. we're still talking about that snowpack, because last year at this time it was at about 22% of its normal amount, and there was very little left at this point. but right now we still have a lot of snow in the sierra, and as of today it is at 337% of its

normal amount of sierra snowpack. now, the reservoirs are going up so quickly, right now we're nearly at capacity for a lot of them or over capacity. look at lake oroville, 122% of the historical average, and trinity lake, even though just a couple of weeks ago it was at 36%, it's now at 52%. that's because it fills up with the sierra snowpack. so that's already starting to melt. around the bay area, we're seeing our reservoirs at about 100% of capacity, with east bay mud at 92% and lake sonoma at 69% of capacity, so even pretty high there. we don't have any rain in the forecast, we're not going to see anything filling up the reservoirs locally, but we are seeing them across the state, some of the larger ones filling up with sierra snowmelt. we're going to see more warm temperatures, causing more snowmelt as well. in the bay area we'll head for the upper 80s today and then

upper 70s, slightly cooler for the end of the workweek. mike. >> happy anniversary to my wife, 19 years today. we're looking at the bay bridge, we're looking at the buildup. you have to have three or more to get through in the faster lanes. everything else, you've got to wait because that's the way it goes. there may be a disabled vehicle on the span. i see some slowing at treasure island. slowing coming down toward the carquinez bridge, that's not a surprise. that typically happens out of vallejo. same thing for highway 4 into concord and pleasant hill. highway 580, as well as vasco road, almost 40 minutes from marsh creek to 580. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, oakland leaders are getting set to debate authorizing a new study which would look at how certain
