6:01 am
coastal area staying cool. you can't even see driving across the golden gate bridge. that's going to linger for a while today as we take a look at what to expect, temperatures in the low 50s right now. it's going to be slow to come out of those 50s. at 1:00 we're starting to see a little bit more sun peeking out, but it will only reach 64 degrees. for san jose, expect a high of 80 degrees and some low 80s for concord. overall, comfortably warm, even for the inland areas as temperatures come down a few more degrees. mike, how is the wednesday commute shaping up? >> like a wednesday. it's great but we know that means a heavier volume of traffic. south bay getting a break and the next one will kick in in about 20 to 30 minutes. 680 at 84, i'm not exactly sure, but i'm hearing something in that region. we'll double-check on the specific location and if it affects 84 or 680. the bay bridge, the backup builds. richmond, a little more slowing. a toddler is recovering after being hit by bullet

fragments during an attempted robbery in oakland. >> can you imagine? just a nanny walking this baby. bob redell joins us live. have police made arrests in this case? >> reporter: not that we're aware of. this happened yesterday morning just before 11:00 a.m. this is in the tressel glenn neighborhood, an upscale part of oakland. a nanny was pushing a toddler in a stroller down a sidewalk when the nanny was assaulted by a man who jumped out of the passenger side of a car. in an interview, the nanny says the man put something in her head, said don't move. she screamed as he started pulling on her bag. he fired a shot into the ground and then left without her purse. shrapnel from the gunshot hit the 15-month-old baby in the stroller, who according to police is recovering from the hospital, thankfully, with just minor injuries. the nanny was not hurt. we did speak with a man who witnessed the attack. >> they didn't even get her
6:03 am
purse. she was a courageous lady. she's trying to guard a 15-month-old baby. >> it makes me want more police, of course. and it makes me afraid, being an older citizen. >> it's usually a nice neighborhood, but, you know, you have to be aware of your surroundings at all times, even in nice neighborhoods. >> reporter: the first man you heard from tells us that this attempted robbery was the third attack in eight days in that area. oakland police tell us that they are looking for two suspects in that attempted robbery. again, no arrests as of yet. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> you would like to think when kids are around they would just not do something like that. >> going for a walk at 11:00 a.m. it's hard to believe. >> thank you. it is 6:03 right now. today two people accused of murder are scheduled to return to court for arraignment.

deputies last month arrested former stanford on-campus child care worker diana ornelas and 27-year-old dennis novoa of san jose. investigators say they shot and killed a san jose man, whose body was found in a wooded area in felton in mid-april. soon after her arrest, ornelas was fired from her teaching job at the childrens' center of the stanford community. despite efforts to buy more time, disgraced theranos founder elizabeth holmes will soon officially start her 11-year prison sentence. she was convicted of defrauding investors over millions of dollars over failed blood testing equipment. so far, holmes has avoided serving sentencing time while her lawyers filed an appeal, which is working its way through court. yesterday the motion for bail was denied. here is a digital legal analyst. >> what the ninth court said
6:05 am
was, we don't feel that the appeal really raises any questions of law or fact, but even if they did, we don't feel that anything that you're showing us is going to change the ultimate result. >> a new date for holmes to report to prison is set to happen any day now. a former apple employee and mountain view resident stands accused of stealing trade secrets for self-driving cars and then fleeing to china. a new indictment says webao wong was hired by the company in 2016. he then gained access to apple's sensitive materials before accepting a job in china in 2018. he did not let apple know that he was leaving until four months later. the u.s. department of justice says the tech company discovered wong accessed large amounts of proprietary data during his last days on the job. that's when the fbi raided his mountain view home, something his former neighbors remember.
6:06 am
>> open the door, fbi, open up. >> so we ran to the peephole and i could see all the way up these stairs, just fbi agents in all gear. >> according to the indictment, wong bought a one-way ticket from san francisco to china and then took off on the same night his home was searched. if convicted, he faces up to ten years in prison for each trade secret violation. we reached out to apple for a statement on the indictment, but we have not yet heard back. in just a few hours, the legal battle over the use of the abortion pill mifepristone heads to court. a federal appeals court in new orleans is set to hear arguments about whether the pill should remain on the market. the fda approved the drug more than two decades ago as a safe and common method used to terminate pregnancies in the u.s. president biden's administration is planning to fight to protect access to mifepristone while anti-abortion groups want to limit access to the medication. mourners will pay tribute to

6:08 am
reaching into the upper 80s in that area. but you compare that to the 60s and low 70s we'll see heading over toward hayward, oakland, san mateo, and san francisco reaching 64 degrees. even slightly cooler tomorrow in the inland valleys, so we will have a nice wrap-up to this workweek. i'll have more on that in a few minutes. mike has a look at where we can find lower gas prices. >> using help from everybody who reports through gasbuddy. in pleasanton the safeway there on bernal avenue is reported at $3.99 in the tri-valley. $4.09 is a popular price point throughout sunnyvale. let's point out the national petroleum on old san francisco road. and in san francisco, the lowest price reported on gasbuddy is valero, $4.49, not a great price. let's look at the roadways. we're looking at a smooth drive and no real surprises for this wednesday. more traffic volume. we are seeing some slowing on southbound 101 as you approach the 580 split, getting over toward the bridge to richmond. there's slowing, a crash.

good wednesday morning. the time is 6:12. let's head to the north bay. looking at santa rosa, it starts out cloudy and it's now 51 degrees. as we go throughout the day, it's going to start to clear up around 9:00 to 10:00, and we'll head for the low 70s at lunchtime and mid-70s early in the afternoon. we are going to have a pleasantly warm day and a little cooler. we'll look at the weekend forecast coming up. on the peninsula it's hazy southbound, the taillights very sparsely populated, but building
6:13 am

6:14 am
interview. musk says tesla will start advertising, something tesla has never done before. faber asked why musk insists on tweeting controversial things. some of which has been interpreted as anti-semitic. musk says he's not an anti-semite, but he will tweet what he wants. >> so you just don't care? you want to share what you have to say? >> i'll say what i want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it. >> this sunday morning on "press here" we'll talk to a musk buying on rafr. he says musk used to do a better job keeping himself in check. >> when you hang out with him in person, he is not twitter elon, he's actually quite warming, he's quite rational and thoughtful, and it perplexes me
6:15 am
why he wants to poke all these buttons out in the world. >> the author on "press here" this sunday morning on nbc bay area, 9:00 a.m., right after "meet the press." >> apple is going to roll out something interesting, they call it live speech. it will enable your iphone to talk in your voice with whatever you want it to say. if you have trouble speaking, for instance, you could use your phone to order a latte or speak to your doctor. you can already do some of this already, but not in your actual voice. the phone will mimic it and it becomes part of your personality if voice trouble is part of your limitation. >> that's interesting. i wonder if it will put different inflections on different words. >> i think it will get better and better. the one interesting thing, this is a synthesized voice, so that somebody couldn't fool you into, oh, it's laura on the phone.
6:16 am
>> exactly. >> i was wondering, are they going to have something where they make sure they secure that. >> it may be one of those things where they fix it as they go, as they figure out what people might use it for in a bad way. >> thanks, scott. an illinois teen has been reunited with her father after being abducted nearly six years ago. she was just 9 years old when she went missing in 2017 while in the care of her mother. the mother had partial custody of the child at the time and failed to return her to her father. kayla was featured on unsolved mysteries, and a store owner recognized the girl at a shopping center and called police. the national center for missing and exploited children says this case, as well as america's new crime obsession, gives hope to other families. >> the outcome that we're seeing with kayla is absolutely amazing. it's something that everyone here at the national center for missing and exploited children
6:17 am
worked tirelessly for day in and day out. it's moments like these that really give us the drive to keep going, it gives searching families out there who are still missing their own children, it gives them the hope and drive to keep going and keep the fight to find missing children and bring them all home safely. >> kayla's mother has now been arrested in north carolina on a fugitive charge. she's expected to be extradited to illinois. trending this morning, post malone just announced a new album and a bay area concert stop. ♪♪ ♪ you'll be left in the dust ♪ ♪ unless i stuck by ya ♪ >> the new album is called "austin" named after the rapper's birth name. it will be released in july and he will drop a new song this friday. the concert tour will stop at
6:18 am
the shoreline amphitheater on august 16th. tickets go on sale later this morning. >> i like his voice. also trending this morning, got milk? maybe not chocolate milk. the usda is proposing banning flavored milks in cafeterias to curb sugar intake. under the new proposal, only high schools would be allowed to nerve flavored milks. milk processors are dealing with a decline in sales and argue they can make flavored milks that meet the new standards. a final decision has not been made. the usda is in the process of working through feedback with a goal of implementing the new rules by 2024. >> by the time i got to high school, i didn't want chocolate milk anymore. >> you matured. >> i still like chocolate milk. >> you're a kid at heart, though. >> my kids would like it. let's check the forecast right now. you might need lemonade on these days. >> it was warm in the valleys
6:19 am
yesterday, and i think as we go into this afternoon you're going to notice that it's a little bit cooler, and we've really had the cool weather continue near the coastline. if you're going out hiking today, here is a look at the forecast for half moon bay where we're going to be in the low 50s at 7:00. mostly cloudy, but eventually it's going to start to clear up a little bit. the sun just peeking out. overall a partly cloudy day and only 50s with a breezy wind. let's take you to the south bay where we'll reach 84 degrees in los gatos. we've seen our microclimates in full effect. it depends on where you are as to what kind of temperatures you've been experiencing. antioch today, one of the warmer spots, reaching 87. then you head to oakland and it will only be in the upper 60s. make sure you have your vehicle packed for all kinds of weather if you're going to be traveling. in san mateo we're reaching 69 degrees. compare that to palo alto where
6:20 am
it will be 79 today. the outer sunset reaching 60 degrees and upper 60s for the mission district. the north bay, we're going to see a high temperature of 80 in santa rosa and sonoma, mill valley reaching about 74 degrees. here is a look across the region. any types of storms out there? there is, but it's not coming our way. we're seeing mostly a chance of rain heading farther to the north. we're going to continue to see high pressure blocking any rain chances, except for the sierra. this is where we could see some showers and thunderstorms developing each day starting this weekend and continuing into next week. it stays nice and quiet here. so livermore going from mid-80s today to noticeably cooler tomorrow, with breezy winds. make some plans to get outside this weekend. 74 degrees on saturday, and just slightly warmer on sunday. we'll start out early next week with a bit of a bump-up in temperatures. overall looking pretty good
6:21 am
here, no significant spikes in our temperatures. no major warm-up as we continue with our microclimates. san francisco reaching into the mid-60s for at least the next week. mike, you were saying there was a crash in san rafael. >> we're following this one, kari. i didn't know if it was 101 or 580. it says eastbound 580 on the chp report. you see the slowing on 101, so i do believe it's probably on the transition and probably visible to people heading south, continuing toward the golden gate bridge. no injuries and no real lanes closed, so that's good news. the build is just starting in the westbound direction. that's your commute direction out of richmond. there's a roadside, maybe some smoke visible, a little slowing. same thing for the north bay and also highway 4. pleasant hill, 242 saw a lot of slowing for just a minute or two and now it's sorting itself out. more volume toward walnut creek. there may be something going on. we'll keep track of 242 and
6:22 am
south 680. the berkeley curve, volume holding steady. the backup is at the toll plaza. low clouds, visibility is not a problem. it's just cooler over there. a smooth drive on both sides of the bay. you see the typical slowing from the nimitz and the build for 238. a couple of incidents reported for 680 but no lanes blocked, no real slowing as you're traveling south on 680 through pleasanton and into the south bay. a couple of important key areas, the san mateo bridge, we're seeing more volume but not a lot of brake tapping. dumbarton bridge also clear. choosing your route toward walnut creek, we talked about the slowing for 242. the top number is so much less than cutting down kirker pass road. coming up next, nbc bay area responds. >> if you're flying this summer, there's a really good chance your flight is going to be delayed or canceled. but there are some things you can do right now to prepare

6:25 right now. millions of families will fly this summer and if you don't want to get stuck, consumer investigator chris chmura says you've got to take control. >> and early on. here is how he does it. >> i hope you need none of this advice. but there is a good chance your flight is going to be delayed or canceled. the good news is you don't have
6:26 am
to be a travel pro. >> there are tools you can use, even as an entry level traveller. >> right. first, sign up for email and text alerts from the airline. let's be real, though. too often you get that notice about your 5:15 flight being late at 5:14. so get a leg up. start tracking your plane, not your flight, your actual plane yourself. free apps like flightradar24 will let you track your plane. keep tabs on your jet. if it starts running behind schedule and it looks like your trip is going to go sideways, you can take action earlier. you'll have an advantage to try to re-book first. on that note, attack from multiple front. while you're in line, get on the phone and get on social media. don't be afraid to ask the same question in three or four different places. i've had a terrible run lately. almost all delayed or canceled flights. though i have had really good success on twitter canceling or

6:30 am
right now at 6:30, new fallout in the controversial shooting of banko brown. we're live this morning with the planned action from activists and the new division it's generating within city hall. >> moving you forward on tracking covid. the new technology experts say the world will have to rely on to monitor its spread. >> plus, monitoring a major flood risk. the new tool being used to help track california's historic snowmelt, promising people more time to prepare for the worst. this the "today in the bay." 6:30 on your wednesday morning. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we've got so much to get to, but first we've got to get you updated on the forecast. meteorologist kari hall has a look at what we can expect.
6:31 am
>> yesterday was the peak of the heat for the inland valleys. today it's going to be slightly lower, even when we're starting out with sunshine as we get a look at the live view in walnut creek as you get ready to head out the door. it is 53 degrees, we'll be at 58 degrees at 8:00 and a lot of sunshine and comfortably warm going into the afternoon. as we take a look at our microclimates, we're changing anywhere from 87 in fairfield to 69 in oakland, and 60 in half moon bay. we're going to see more weather like this into the next few days and i'll have a look ahead to the weekend coming up. mike, you're updating that crash in the tri-valley. >> i am, but i notice my camera has frozen. we'll talk about the bay bridge and the backup. this is what's going on over the last few seconds. there is a crash going on for 680 southbound as you're heading toward sunol boulevard. there's considerable backup building out of pleasanton. we'll track that from bernal down into the sunol area. south 680 is where i'm watching, but i'll fix this map.
6:32 am
i've got to reboot. i'll send it over to you. activists are promising a new round of action in san francisco, this is in response to the da's decision not to file charges in the high-profile shooting of banko brown by that walgreens security guard. >> the issue now creating a big divide at city hall as well, and new legal action from the grieving family. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab live in san francisco. ginger, what are demonstrators planning today? they've been so active already. >> reporter: that's right, laura. we'll continue to see how active they are and that fallout from the da's decision not to press charges against the security guard who fatally shot banko brown. community groups and leaders have gathered throughout the city in recent weeks to show disappointment for the da's decision, also disagreeing with the district attorney. san francisco supervisor aaron peskin says he's taking things to a vote.
6:33 am
peskin is the author of a resolution asking the state's attorney general and the u.s. department of justice to review the surveillance video and the evidence surrounding the fatal shooting of banko brown on april 27th. peskin wants a different conclusion from the feds and the attorney general's office. >> the same conclusion that the san francisco police department came to when they presented this case as a homicide case to the district attorney. >> my hope is to make sure there's full transparency and that we get the kind of accountability in any case that will serve to help the public and the family understand exactly why a decision was made. >> reporter: mayor breed has said she fully supports the da. civil rights attorney john burres is handling the case and he says he will contact state and federal law enforcement agencies in hopes of criminal
6:34 am
charges. regardless, he says, there will be a civil lawsuit. now, we'll have more details on this throughout the day. we'll be watching out for that rally set to happen at 10:00 a.m. outside the da's office here in san francisco. meanwhile, as far as that resolution is concerned that peskin is authoring, that will go to a vote next week, with the board of supervisors. if that passes, then the state attorney general's office or the feds will have to change their decision, make their decision before any changes will be made in the filing of charges. we'll be keeping up to date with that. back to you guys in the studio. >> ginger conejero saab in san francisco this morning. thank you. it is 6:34 right now. happening today, an east bay assisted living worker accused in the death of an elderly patient is due in court for the hearing that may pave the way for her trial. letitia starlings works at atria in walnut creek and is facing
6:35 am
charges resulting in the death of 94 dementia patient. investigators say he became ill after drinking cleaning solution. today's hearing is a felony readiness conference. nbc bay area's investigative unit has been covering this story and two similar incidents involving deaths at the atria locations. they're facing legal action leaving futures in limbo. head to our investigative unit section on our web page for more coverage at nbcbayarea.com. well, follow-up for you this morning. there are new penalties in oakland for anyone who promotes, organizes or participates in a sideshow. that decision came in a unanimous vote by the oakland city council last night. this is following the months of failed efforts to crack down on illegal sideshows. under the new policy, violators could serve up to six months in jail or pay a $1,000 fine. sideshows often draw hundreds of
6:36 am
spectators, cause traffic jams and sometimes end in violence. another bay area county moving covid from an emergency to a virus, the health department will now monitor it like with the flu. >> we have come so far. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is live with a reminder of what this means. covid is still out there, kris. >> reporter: it is still out there. it just means we're going to have to work with our local physicians and local clinics, pharmacists, in order to keep ourselves and our families safe now that there is no declared state of emergency, and the latest county to move that into endemic status is sonoma county. they are transferring covid tracking from the emergency operations to the health department. you will likely remember that the state and federal emergency already ended. sonoma county says the covid vaccine they already have will still be distributed for free, but people with insurance, you will have to go through your
6:37 am
doctor or pharmacy or vaccines and treatment. the california department of health is reworking how it's tracking covid now, and the cdc is doing the same thing. as of last week, the sampling of wastewater is how we're tracking the virus, rather than how many people are ending up in the hospital. dr. peter chin-hong says san francisco is also tracking wastewater coming in on international flights in order to stay ahead of the surges in other parts of the world. >> the wastewater data only targets about, you know, not the whole population, only about 140 million, and the reason why they can't get more population covered with wastewater is because of funding. so, again, what's tied to the public health emergency is funding. >> and i hope that will be reissued with if deaths and
6:38 am
hospitalizations rise. >> reporter: i want to remind you what the cdc's covid vaccine recommendations are. anyone 6 and up, so from our kids all the way to our parents, one updated pfizer or moderna vaccine, for anyone over the age of 65, a second dose. if you have anyone from 6 months to 5 years old, talk with a pediatrician because there is a vaccine schedule. we're all familiar with those. and of course all of the common sense guidelines, wash your hands, wear a mask, stay home if you're sick. all of that still applies. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." california's historic snowpack is starting to melt and it is creating a major flood risk for a lot of states. 30 back-to-back atmospheric rivers left 55 billion tons of snow in the sierra. now there's an urgent new effort to track the danger from the air. as researchers explain, aerial
6:39 am
expeditions above the snowpack are collecting sophisticated first of its kind data using high-tech sensors. >> our information gives the complete picture over the mountain basin. we're touching every square foot of snowpack with our lasers and spectrometers. >> their goal is to give water districts a much better model of the snowpack, previously only possible through simplistic measurements. now we can really see how much is up there and where it's going to flow, especially with the warm-up we're having right now. meteorologist kari hall joins me. she's been tracking the big felt for quite some time. the summer temperatures are starting to heat up. >> it's warming up, the sierra snow has to go somewhere. the uc berkeley central sierra snow lab said about 34% of the snow has melted. there was massive amounts of it. it was more than double what we usually get, with over 753 inches of snow.
6:40 am
>> it's mind-blowing. >> it is mind-blowing. it's good they're keeping track of it because a lot of people are wondering, what happens to that snow. some of it evaporates, some of it soaks into the ground. some of it flows down the sierra into rivers and also fills up our reservoirs as well. >> and there's a lot of areas that are threatened. >> absolutely. so these are the main areas that are going to be impacted over the next several days. so the yosemite region, we'll have to watch for the next, i would say up until about may 27th, and then for the tahoe region it's anywhere from may 23rd through the 29th where we could see the biggest impact, and it's creating some dangerous conditions. they're saying just stay out of the water. those rivers and waterways are moving fast and strong and are also very cold. so looking at the yosemite river, the merced river in yosemite, it is expected to stay above flood stage through at least sunday, and so you do want to make sure you're calling ahead to make sure the campground you're going to will still be open. we talked about warmer weather.
6:41 am
we're feeling that in the bay area. here is a look at temperatures for today that will head for the low 80s for the inland valleys. we're still in the low 60s in san francisco and near the coastline. mike, it looks like a backup in pleasanton. >> i can show it and the recovery. the crash was right around sunol boulevard. it cleared in the last couple of minutes. we had a backup back to the dublin interchange. it's in recovery mode. a lot more traffic into fremont via 680 might affect vision boulevard. the south bay, north 87 builds. there may be a crash or disabled vehicle closer to downtown. we'll track that. it's on for the south bay right now. we're looking ahead as well, traffic volume dispersed throughout the day. a midday game for the a's, that's good news, the game will get out and the crowd should clear before the crowd builds for the evening concert, the suga concert at 8:00 p.m.
6:42 am
they should be independent of each other's traffic flow. in the city, same time as the a's are playing, we have oracle park with the giants play at 12:45 as well. this will affect the traffic around the bay bridge. all day we'll have traffic control, one-way traffic control around the sinkhole. back to you. >> helping us plan our day. making a name for themselves in the pacific north west, coming up, one couple's journey to become noted winemakers and the stereotypes they've boldly broken along the way. >> in washington, a lot of positive talk about the debt positive talk about the debt ce
