right now at 5:00, remembering the loved bay area man, the east bay community gathering to honor his life one year after his tragic murder.

plus, his family's demand for justice continues. >> new restrictions from silicon valley companies on chatgpt. i'll tell you what they're worried about. >> also, wrap up your besties, another festival is set to come to the bay area. ahead, everything we know about the event, including where it's going to happen. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this friday. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia has the day off. and it is friday, so of course we want to start with a look at the forecast. good morning, cinthia. >> good morning. we are starting with a live look over downtown san jose, where we are seeing that cloud cover, a little bit of fog to kick off our friday. but it should move out and the

temperatures should have to rise. in oakland, it's cooler at 55, and will be slower to warm up. at 11:00, still in the upper 50s. cool at the coast as we get our weekend started with low 60s, low 70s as we make our way into dublin. we'll talk more about this and the weekend outlook in just a bit. mike, something going on in castro valley? >> yeah, we're tracking a motorcycle crash. the good news is there were no major injuries reported at the scene. i'm concerned because the motorcycle did hit the center divide, but no major injuries reported at the scene and all activity just cleared in the last couple of minutes, a great drive from the dublin interchange up the dublin grade and toward castro valley itself. into the city, we have a second crash. we're looking at a slowdown that just popped up over the last five minutes, slowing from treasure island down to the 5th street exit. apparently the slower drive has backed up and distracted folks getting off of the bay bridge.

there may be a semi truck involved, as well as two other vehicles and that may restrict traffic flow. watch for the slowdown on the decline and we'll track that. back to you. >> thanks, mike. new details, layoffs for facebook's parent company meta continue. according to the technology news group vox, meta told employees its latest round of layoffs will start next week. the number of jobs on the chopping block is still unclear, however mark zuckerberg said in march that the company plan to say eliminate 10,000 positions by the end of may. already the company has eliminated 4,000 jobs. the company says that the day before the layoffs start a note will be posted on which teams will be impacted. apple, meanwhile, is putting new restrictions on its employees. >> scott mcgrew continues our coverage here. they're not supposed to use chatgpt. >> this is not uncommon. good morning to you. a lot of companies are warning their employees to be very careful about how they interact

with artificial intelligence. not because it isn't helpful, but because what they enter into ai can become part of the ai's knowledge. so if you were at the office trying to solve some sort of problem with software, you could show the ai some of your code, get a solution. but now your company's code is out there in the world. other companies like jpmorgan chase have also restricted employees from using chatgpt. if you haven't tried chatgpt yet, it's getting easier to do. both apple and google yesterday announced new chatgpt apps in their app stores. >> recently i spoke with an ai expert who speculated computers would soon advise scientists what experiments to run. right now, of course, scientists enter their experiment data into computers. in the future commuters might say i read the latest literature overnight and i think you're approaching the science wrong, here's what we should do. in that case, the computers

would be teaching us. i took that idea to a fellow who supplies software to millions of scientists. >> the perfect opportunity for data and language to sit on top of it because machines can see patterns and data that is very challenging for the human brain to process and get insights from. >> i'll continue that discussion on "press here" sunday morning at 9:00 right after "meet the press." that's staggering that computers will teach scientists about science. >> i'm betting $5 the robots will say, let's steady robots. make you smarter. thanks, scott. oakland police now are still searching for a gunman wanted in connection with a deadly shooting of a filipino restaurant owner. his 11-year-old son saw the whole thing happen on the anniversary of his death yesterday, his mother, sister and son spoke at police

headquarters. they want the killer to turn themselves in and they're not giving up hope. >> it's our priority and it's the oakland police department's priority to get justice for my brother. i just would love him to have that security that this person who took his father away from him is put away. >> anabo co-owned lucky three seven, a popular restaurant in the fruitvale neighborhood. it was named after the oakland street he grew up on. if you saw anything suspicious on may 8, 2022, opd is asking you to call their tip line. pg&e now facing hefty fines, a fine of $150 million, for its role in starting that deadly wildfire in northern california. you may remember the zogg fire killed four people, while more than 50,000 acres burned in

shasta and tahema counties. they blamed it on pg&e's failure to cut down a tree that was marked for removal and leaning toward power lines. this morning the white house and republicans are racing to reach a bipartisan deal to avoid a government default. >> both sides are expressing confidence that they will find common ground. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is live in washington. negotiations are going on around the clock. >> reporter: that's right. good morning, kris, marcus. we've been talking about this for some time now and time is just simply running out. so negotiators only have two weeks to reach a deal before the government defaults. now, both sides say they are making progress, but there are still concerns about possible concessions. president biden in japan, meeting with leaders of the world's largest economies, as negotiators back home try to

avoid an economic catastrophe. >> look, we're not there. we haven't agreed to anything yet, but i see the path that we could come to an agreement. >> reporter: while overseas, the president is receiving updates on debt limit talks. on thursday, vice president harris stressed what's at stake, echoing the administration's warning that a first-ever government default could spark a recession, cause the u.s. to lose millions of jobs, and damage the country's international reputation. >> this does not have to be a crisis. our position is clear and simple. congress must act to prevent default. >> reporter: one major sticking point, the gop's plan to impose stronger work requirements for social safety net programs, like food stamps and housing assistance. >> and so the ball is firmly in the court of the president of the united states and senate democrats to respond to what we've already done. >> the president has to have the option to say these things go

too far, they are not acceptable, i'm not going to harm american families. >> reporter: a growing number of senate democrats are signing on to this letter, calling on mr. biden to invoke the 14th amendment. that would allow him to raise the debt ceiling without congressional authorization. and treasury secretary janet yellen has warned that invoking the 14th amendment could lead to a constitutional crisis. >> thank you very much, brie. we want to take you out to san francisco. you can guess because you can't see it. the foggy picture there, more live music expected to come to the city by the bay. organizers were just given the green light by city park leaders to host another three-day concert series in august of next year. this one would happen at golden gate park. the proposed concert permit would run for three years. the board of supervisors still

has to sign off on the plan this summer. this year's outside lands festival is happening august 11th through the 13th, and for anyone looking to get outside this weekend, cinthia is tracking our forecast. the foggy start means cool temperatures. cool at the coast. you were on the right track there. we are taking a live look over san francisco. i've got another angle for you. it will be cooler and cloudier at the coast, at least through midmorning. if you have any plans to head out to the city, maybe grab some coffee, or if you're just driving to get to work, be careful with the cloud cover. temperatures should make it into the upper 50s. in novato we are chilly to start and hanging onto cloud cover through midmorning. by the time your lunchtime hour rolls around, we're looking at plenty of sunshine. san jose looking beautiful. of course we'll see that cloud cover hang on until the mid-morning hours, but we'll talk more about your weekend forecast in just a bit. for now, we'll go to mike. >> we still have slowing off of

the bay bridge, not as extensive as a few minutes ago. only one unit on scene on the 5th street off-ramp. you see it's a smooth drive down the decline. we'll watch for continued activity. approaching from the oakland side, light traffic. light traffic because it's friday, we expect the volume to continue with a lighter volume through the morning. a smooth drive for the south bay, peninsula. some slowing out of the altamont, for now, back to you. >> thanks, mike. protecting your home from wildfires. ahead, at 5:25, the consumer team shows you creative steps bay area homeowners are now taking. >> and good morning. i'm bob redell. celebrating this country's -- one of this country's greatest film stars and his history right here in the east bay. coming up, we're going to take you live to charlie chaplain days. >> first, we are moving you

forward this morning with our school shout-out series. >> my name is miss whitney and this is our third grade class at horace mann elementary. we practice the care system. >> agency! >> we care about -- >> you! good morning, bay area! >> good morning to you. i love that. look, if you would like to see your students right here before school is out, make sure you shoot that video and email it to our classroom video section

good morning. it's 5:14 on this friday. it's start in the south bay for your gilroy commute. might run into some cloud cover as you head out the door to work or maybe to your getaway destination. we will see plenty of sunshine as we go into the lunchtime hour. we'll talk more about your gilroy forecast and the weekend events coming up in a few minutes. these folks focused on approaching the bay bridge, the berkeley curve. taillights moving smoothly through the maze and through the toll plaza. we will check on things as we approach san francisco, the crash still on the grid at the 5th street off-ramp.

we'll track it. this weekend a small community in the east bay will celebrate one of the greatest film stars who happened to make movies in the bay area. >> bob redell is joining us from niles in fremont, and i understand you have a look at some of charlie chaplain's greater days. >> reporter: yeah, and i don't know how many people know this, if you haven't been in the bay area long enough, charlie chaplain used to make movies here in the niles district of fremont for about four months over 100 years ago. we're in the historic theatre where he used to come watch films during his short time here. this, of course, is now the niles silent film museum, where this weekend you can come here and watch the champion, one of charlie chaplain's most famous films will be screening. we've got michael here, historian. how did he end up here? we weren'thollywood, still

aren't hollywood. >> charlie chaplain spent the first year of his film career in hollywood working at the keystone studio, but he was looking to make more money, so he negotiated a contract with s&a that got him $1,250 a week. >> wow. >> and a $10,000 signing bonus. >> s&a was the film studio to the right of us, that's not here anymore, and that's where that film behind us was made, right? >> that's right. >> and how did niles end up being a location for films to begin with? >> s&a was originally established in chicago way back in 1907 by two men, george and bronco billy anderson, the first cowboy star. they wanted to make cowboy movies but the weather in the chicago area wasn't good enough for that. for five years they traveled all over the western half of the country making their cowboy movies, until 1912, when they

discovered the town of niles here and fell in love with it because of niles canyon. >> anyone who has driven through it, of course it's paved now, but back then it was a bitter dirt road, the canyon and everything you need for cowboy movies. >> they came here in april, they were here for almost four years. >> "the tramp" was shot in niles canyon. why did charlie chaplain stick around? >> well, charlie liked the big city and niles here was way out in the country in the middle of nowhere. nothing but flat farmland or hills as far as you could see, so chaplain wanted to get back to los angeles. he made a few more short films in los angeles. >> reporter: he used to come to this theatre, it was the local

theatre, just to watch the competition in this very room. charlie chaplin days running through sunday. you can't miss it. we're on the main drag in niles. it's a big city, if you haven't been here. we are on the main drag and you can come here and relive some cinematic history. >> i did not know that happened. >> and $1,000 a week and a $10,000 signing bonus back then. >> that's a lot of dough. >> and he got to call the shots, although silently. >> tyler perry before tyler perry. >> there you go. thank you. >> they have great antique shops. it is a historical district, they have the railways, lots to do. >> and it's pretty, too. >> yeah. charlie doesn't know what he left. >> and did you hear that chicago

weather wasn't good enough, so he came right here to the west coast, right? >> that's right. let's get started with our weekend weather because if you want to head to the movies or maybe head to the fair, i know the contra costa county fair is going on today through sunday. enjoy some nachos for me. that's my favorite fair food. and enjoy the weather because it will be pleasant, some might call it hot. make sure you wear your hat and sunglasses and the sunscreen, of course. today our highs, cool at the coast. we're staying in the low 60s in san francisco. as we make our way into the inland valleys, some spots might hit the low 80s like fairfield and santa rosa at 82, and 77 down here in san jose. tomorrow you might feel a little cooler because we have a low we're tracking to the west of us in the pacific ocean. our highs still comfortable with no rain in sight, at least for the next couple of days. somewhere where we are watching the rain and a potential for thunderstorm development is south lake tahoe.

it's the weekend and people want to get up there, but the next couple of days, today, tomorrow and sunday, look to be a little tricky. that's why we have the flood watch in effect. the rain mixed in with the temperatures that have been going up, the green you see on your screen stretching from south lake tahoe down to mammoth lake, we're watching the waterways also running fast and cold. if you might slip in, be careful and get out really fast. the peak flow does happen in the night and early morning hours, so just something to be mindful of. let's bring it right back here to the bay area, getting our weekend started in concord. we'll see a trend similar for the weekend, peaking on monday with temperatures and steady 70s as we go into the next couple of days. i'll leave you with the seven-day forecast for our inland valleys. nice weekend weather, but of course we are tracking thunderstorms developing in the sierra. otherwise in san francisco, we'll keep it cool and cloudy at the coast, we'll talk about your

giants forecast in just a bit. otherwise, temperatures stay steady in the 60s. we're going to san francisco, you can look at this big map. i will focus on the bit of slowing we see heading into san francisco, just past the 5th street exit. that has really cleared up over the last five minutes. one unit still reported on the exit there. the crash, there was a lot of slowing off of treasure island. i think it should be fine for you heading into san francisco. the altamont pass, you have a lot of slowing where the merge happens with 205 and then it moves much better. we're looking at no problems, no major delays down vasco, just a little bit of slowing as you're approaching 580. a smooth drive, as is south county all the way up the peninsula. next, nbc bay area responds. >> we're traveling more than 100 miles from the north bay to the south bay in search of

innovations to protect your home from fire. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. ne'll show you what's

good morning. we're looking at two local fire protection innovations about 100 miles apart. starting in the santa cruz mountains, where homeowner mark mitchell hired a company to install something unusual, a sprinkler system on his home.

he's hoping if a fire gets close, he can turn it on and make his house too wet to burn. >> anything we can do to defend the house is worth doing. we had done a lot of passive things. >> how does it work if you're not home or the power is out? we'll explore all of that at 11:00. the second innovation is in santa rosa, a home builder says it designed this home and others specifically for fire resiliency. how? how much does it cost? and can the homeowner expect to pay less for homeowners insurance? we'll answer all those questions tonight at 11:00. our team handles lots of insurance and fire related concerns. share yours. scan the qr code on your screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form online. i'll join you again tonight at 11:00. >> looking forward to it. next, top stories we are following today include that

good morning. it is friday. i like the sound of that. let me say it again, it is friday. i'm marcus washington. thanks for joining us this morning. >> i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia is off this morning. as we said, there is a lot going on this weekend in san francisco, in the south bay, the east bay. cinthia, you are the woman of the hour. >> thank you very much. now, let's start this morning, i don't know about you down here in the south bay, but i felt it just a little mild walking out the door. temperatures, at least in san jose, 55 degrees, as we make our way into areas like concord and oakland. just a little chillier near santa rosa and sonoma. i'm also watching the fog trickling on into the valleys. now, on satellite and radar you could see the fog hanging off of the coastline. it should knicks out as we get our weekend started. temperatures staying in the 70s and 80s and a lot of weekend events i want to tell you about. a warning if you're going to the sierra, we are tracking

thunderstorm chances. we're going into the east bay now? >> i know you're looking ahead to the weekend. i am, too, in my mind. highway 4 we have a crash at the critical part heading toward concord, right around port chicago highway, just prior to the exit we have a crash where a vehicle, a smaller vehicle and a box truck reportedly got struck together, maybe bumpers stuck. the traffic is distracted and there's probably a traffic break as well. meanwhile, you see the rest of the east bay green, basically. at the bay bridge incline a little slowing getting up to treasure island. slowing into san francisco has cleared around the 5th street exit where there's activity at the off-ramp. 680, the crew has cleared heading north through pleasanton. >> thanks, mike. to our top story, a big decision from the attorney general's office, who is declining to pursue charges against the san francisco police officer who shot a man dead. it has been more than five years

since keita o'neil was killed by an officer. >> ginger conejero saab is live for us in san francisco. you have more on what's expected to unfold today. >> reporter: good morning, marcus and kris. the official dismissal will happen at san francisco's hall of justice later this morning and the family has harsh words for the attorney general. >> when is this office, i asked him, going to have some [ bleep ] and stand up against these police officers that's abusing their positions? >> reporter: that is keita o'neil's aunt speaking to gia vang yesterday. she says she's in disbelief with the latest blow. the attorney general's office had until june 5th to decide whether or not it would pursue charges n. a 21-page response emailed to nbc bay area, the

ag's office reports how o' neil reached for his waist band and detailed it was necessary to shoot in self-defense. samayoa had been hit in the head with paint balls during training, showing that a failure to act can result in deadly consequences. the attorney general's office said the charges against christopher samayoa could not be proven without a reasonable. it's a huge relief for samayoa, who happens to be a new father. >> it's been a long road for chris samayoa and his family, and we're happy that finally true justice has prevailed, the right decision has been made. >> reporter: now, green's attorney says the doj may take interest in this case but his only hope is he says if new people come to power, o'neil's

aunt says she's going to turn her attention to cases with similar circumstances. ginger conejero saab, "today in the bay." >> it's been a long time coming. thank you very much, ginger. also today, an attorney is set to make a motion to remove the alameda county district attorney from an officer-involved shooting case. former officer jason fletcher is accused of shooting and killing taylor at a walmart back in 2020. taylor was allegedly trying to steal from the store. the former officer's attorney says district attorney pamela price has made venomous statements about police officers and he believes that would have a bias influence on the case. so far, price's office has not respond to do the request for comment on the expected motion. mourners are expected to gather later today for the funeral of a bay area catholic bishop. reverend patrick mcgraw died last week after contracting pneumonia. mcgraw was born in ireland in

1945, and served as the auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese in san francisco in the late '80s, in 2019 he retired. mcgraw was 77 years old. his public funeral will start at 11:00 this morning at cathedral basilica of st. joseph's. uc regents says that it will move forward with hiring documented students. yesterday the regents voted to form a group with a plan to hire students no matter their legal status. the campaign called opportunity for all made up of undocumented students and legal experts, has been pushing for this decision for months. one uc berkeley student flew to l.a. for the announcement. >> to see such an institution respond to the work and the organizing of undocumented students who, you know, we are

often kind of seen as powerless, and today we were far from powerless. >> that decision could still lead to lawsuits. san francisco's beta breakers race returns this weekend and tens of thousands of people will flock in sunday morning bright and early, some to run a new personal best, others will be focused on the outrageous costumes. the race has been going on for more than a century and this year organizers say they have new ideas planned. >> we're going to have touch points overall throughout the race, so every couple mile marker, you're going to see a fun activation. whether that will be a game we're going to be playing, whether that will be a hydration station, a little shoe knowledge, they can stop and take a rest. there will be a lot of fun things going on. >> b.a.r.t. will make it easier for people to get there from

outside san francisco. trains will start running two hours earlier than normal for those planning to make the 8:00 a.m. start time. oracle park, lights out. it's going to be jumping this evening. the giants may finally be putting things together, they're ride ago three-game winning streak. this weekend, miami marlins come to town. that first game takes place tonight at 7:00. it will air right here on nbc bay area. game time is a little after 7:00. but our coverage begins right after "nbc nightly news," and, cinthia, i know a lot of folks are going to be in town, giants, giants! >> you know who else is going to be freezing? the people coming in from miami who aren't used to this cold bay area weather, especially in san francisco where we have the best of our microclimate going on. tonight, 7:15, first pitch, we'll see a mix of sun and clouds. notice the winds, especially the

gusts. upwards of 25 to maybe 30 mile an hour winds. you want to dress warm, bring gloves and those giants blankets that i know you all have. on sunday, we'll go to bay to breakers, race starts at 8:00. i'll be cheering you on from right here, telling you the forecast, and maybe that will count for my exercise for the day, living vicariously through all the runners. you want to dress warm because we will hang onto the cloud cover as the race goes on and only see temperatures warming up into the 60s. maybe you want to get away from the ruckus of the city and head to napa valley. let's go. today, tomorrow and on sunday, temperatures pretty comfortable, in the mid to upper 70s, and maybe you want to slow it down, enjoy some nice music and head to campbell where i might check this out. we have the boogie campbell music festival, temperatures are going to be pleasant, plenty of sunshine as well. make sure you bring your hat, sunglasses, and of course a good

time. by the middle of the festival, we're seeing temperatures in the 70s. i think it's going to be a very nice weekend to get out in campbell, san francisco, anywhere that you want to. where are we heading on the roads? >> you talk about the bay to breakers, i know you said you might want to dress warmly. not everybody dresses much at all for that. we're looking at a smooth drive on the roadways, friday, lighter volume. the build on highway 4 and in the north bay. getting across the bay bridge, the incline, typical slowing. in the city we have unusual slowing because of a crash that still has activity on the 5th street off-ramp. folks are slowing, there's activity before you get to the city street and that may be backing things up a bit. we're still tracking activity on the chp report. more activity in the city, as cinthia talked about, the giants are playing and fans will be arriving for the 7:15 game. it's a little later than earlier this week, so that will be a little after the commute,

shouldn't have a crossover. we'll still warn you that may be a factor. talk about bay to breakers, there are four additional trains to get into the city before the 7:00 a.m. start time, so keep that in mind as an option. highway 37 will be closed. that closure happens at 3:00 tomorrow morning until 11:00 a.m. on sunday. here is a long reroute. i'm posting it on facebook as well. coming up, we inch closer to a solution on the debt crisis. but maybe some damage has already been done. >> and football fans, get ready. we're going to tell you when we could see the nfl's biggest night return to the bay area. first, here is our investigative reporter, candice nguyen. >> good morning, marcus and kris. in our latest investigation, we obtain exclusive video of a vta bus driver doing the unthinkable, attacking a passenger. and it does not appear to be in self-defense. we learn why the driver did it and question what vta did to keep the public safe.

good morning. it's 5:43. we finally made it to friday. let's go out to pleasant hill. you might be heading to work, maybe getting ready to kick off the weekend. bring your sweater because it is a little bit cloudy to start. by your lunchtime hour we're seeing temperatures in the 70s with plenty of sunshine. we'll talk about this weekend

and about all the weekend events in just a little bit. i like those numbers. this number, 101, here in palo alto, smooth flow of traffic as you travel north. taillights all the way into or out of san francisco via the bay shore freeway. there's slowing on the bay bridge, maybe more than you might expect. in the south bay there's a build as well. we'll show you that coming up. the biggest game in football may be coming back to the bay area. where, you ask? right here. levi's stadium that could play host to super bowl xl. league owners are expected to formally vote on it early next week. most of the festivities will be held in san francisco. crime is a factor and that will be talked about among city leaders. a green light is expected for what promises to be a very exciting year.

>> levi's stadium will receive a $125 million loan from the nfl and those will go into stadium improvements at levi's stadium. where will those be? primarily they'll be focused on upgrading the stadium suites, as well as the video boards. >> this will be the third super bowl in the bay area. the first one came to stanford stadium, and then the niners won against the miami dolphins. my favorite was when the broncos beat the panthers in 2016 at levi's stadium. there is still no deal on the debt ceiling, although politicians claim they are getting closer. >> in the meantime, scott mcgrew is here. >> economists say there will be tremendous damage to the economy if we default, but even if we don't default, there could be problems and here is why. the government has already run out of authority to borrow

money, to issue new debt. that means treasury secretary janet yellen has been moving money around using financial tricks, really, to pay the bills as they come due. now, if and when the two sides reach an agreement, raising the debt ceiling, authorizing more borrowing, the u.s. treasury is going to have to go rush out and get new loans to cover all the holes. new treasury bills will flood the market. there's only so much money out there for investments. so if the u.s. government hoovers up all the investment money, that's less money going into stocks, less money going into small business, into projects like infrastructure. president biden started his first day of meetings at the g7 today. the g7 created back during the economic instability of the 1970s, so some of the big industrialized nations could work together on economic issues. this time around you've got a situation where the country with the biggest economic issue is

the united states because we have a system in place where the opposing party can threaten to upend the full faith and credit in the united states to get what they want. here is speaker mccarthy. >> there's a place where the democrats made a big mistake to sit back and say this won't be different than before. if they had worked with us early on, this process will probably be done and look different. >> the biden white house and the trump white house have said this should be clean. >> you can president zelenskyy just arrived at a meeting at the arab league in saudi arabia. the pentagon says it made an accounting error, suddenly has billions more it can use to send weapons to ukraine. a $3 billion accounting error. the pentagon says when it was deciding how much everything cost to send, it figured on the cost of replacing the weapon with a brand new weapon, not the current value of the old weapon.

$3 billion is a staggering sum. marcus, a modern u.s. navy destroyer costs about half that. >> i thought my bookkeeping was a little suspect. thank you, scott. it's 5:48 right now. some of the best ice-skaters in the world are coming right here to the bay area this weekend. the stars on ice tour takes a stop at s.a.p. center in san jose on sunday. one of the skaters, gold medalist nathan chen. he's currently considered the best male figure skater in the world right now. those who missed him back in 2022 in the olympics, they're going to get another chance to experience it live right in san jose. and chen actually said san jose really is meaningful to him and his career. >> yeah, it means a lot, that's where i made my first olympic team. when i was a kid, i won a junior national title there, i think that was my first competition

with raphael. it means a lot to be back in the bay area and i really enjoy it. >> this tour is good because it has won three emmy awards. >> emmy awards? >> yeah, i didn't know they could. tickets start at $30. the event starts at 4:00 p.m. on sunday. sunday fun day for some folks. >> might want to get out of the heat. >> i did talk with nathan earlier and he said his niece is in the area, so he's uncle nathan when he comes in. >> that's so cute. we'll have to change the markee. >> you might want to go inside and get a little relief from the heat. let's take a look at our forecast, starting in dublin. seeing a little cloud cover, so make sure you're driving carefully on the roadways. by your lunchtime hour, temperatures in the mid-60s with plenty of sunshine. as far as our highs go today, a little cooler at the coastline.

we'll see our microclimates play out nicely. low 60s along the bay and we'll see low 80s as we make our way into fairfield and santa rosa. temperature temperatures will be knocked down just a little because we are tracking a low pressure system moving just to our north, but still plenty of sunshine. i think they'll rebound as we go into sunday. we've got 68 in san mateo, 77, nice and comfortable to enjoy a day out in wine country. satellite and radar still tracking fog that's hugging the coastline as far north as our mendocino coastline members. here is the low pressure starting to move into areas of portland. they've been dealing with a heat wave over the last couple of days. we're also tracking the movement of the low pressure system into the area such as the sierra, so that's why we have the flood watch in effect until monday. something for you to keep an eye on if you do plan to head up there.

i'll leave you with the seven-day forecast. a little fog to kick off our morning, and possibly into tomorrow in our inland valleys before temperatures go up on sunday, and on monday plenty to do in san francisco this weekend, of course, just be mindful of the fog. mike, are we going to the south bay? >> we're starting in the south bay, not because you were talking about the skating, but it is a good option. we're looking at folks driving by on north 101, the early slowdown sorting itself out. the volume building out of san martin, lighter earlier on. we are looking at a slower drive developing across the bay bridge but the speed sensors more evenly distributed. i believe they've slowed the metering lights down just a bit because of the crash and some additional slowing at 5th off of the bay bridge decline. highway 4 shows a typical pattern but chp reports a unit around port chicago highway on the shoulder. back to you. >> thanks, mike. starting today, state park

leaders are shutting down part of a much travelled area of mount diablo state park. crews have been rebuilding the section of north road following damage to the area sustained during this year's winter storms. as a result, a portion of north gate road will be shut down through mid-september as crews work to make repairs. south gate road will remain open. a beloved bay area film festival is kicking into high gear and next on "today in the bay" we'll show you an inside look at the bay area's caamfest and we'll hear from some of the people causing a big buzz this year. then at 6:00, lots of new rumblings in silicon valley. one major player may be bracing for new job cuts, as another giant warns its employees about the newest technology causing so much stir right now. artificial intelligence and chatgpt. scott mcgrew will break it down for all of us. a quick reminder, you can watch

the middle of aapi heritage month, has a special place for its stars. >> me and my friends, we would dream about moving to california because in our mind it was like gay paradise, so i guess it's fun to be here on a street where there are rainbow flags every ten feet. >> it's just never been done, you know, and in this way that is so just raw and authentic and vulnerable. >> i think the best feeling in the world, i've felt this since i was literally out of the couple, making people laugh and have a good time. if everybody can relate to us on the screen, that means they relate to an asian face and that's the coolest thing. >> reporter: caamfest films will run in theatres in san francisco and oakland until may 21st. ginger conejero saab, "today in the bay." >> looks fun. this weekend nbc bay area celebrates the history, joy and success of asian americans, and you can watch our special celebrating asian americans tomorrow at 7:00 in the evening.
