right now at 5:00, the search for a gunman intensifies overnight. the new details we're learning about a deadly shooting in the east bay. >> and marking two years since

tragedy struck. the way the vta plans to pay tribute to the lives lost. >> and counting down the days until the u.s. runs out of money. the moving debt limit deadline quickly approaching and the reason why we don't expect much work to get done this weekend. this is "today in the bay." it is friday, hopefully you have a long holiday weekend ahead of you. some of us do, some of us don't. happy to be with you this morning. i'm kris sanchez. marcus washington has the morning off. >> i'm laura garciaia. we're stararting with breakikin news this morning in the traffic department, mike. >> sadly, a big crash i'm going to tell folks about, we just got word recently that it's a deadly crash. someone has died as a result of this crash. the better side of the news, if we can put it that way, is we do have at least one lane reopened for southbound 17. this is southbound 17 right at hamilton or just before you get to hamilton. we can use winchester boulevard

as an alternate through the area. there are off-ramps for both roadways, getting down to hamilton, a major on and off-ramp. we're down to just one lane as you're traveling through campbell. south of there, everything is fine through the santa cruz mountains. we hope to have word on when they expect to open the lanes, but right now they're continuing with the investigation and we don't know the timing. everything else is looking light, including in the north bay where there's no issues from santnta rosa to thee golden gat bridge. >> let's head to oakland with a look at our live view this morning. as we are getting ready to head out the door, it is all clear and we are in for more comfortable temperatures. as we go into the late-morning hours, we'll see the sun peaking out. it's 55 degrees, a breezy wind, and we'll see peeks of sunshine by noon. but then it's going to eventually clear out again

today. we're headed for 66 degrees here, 62 in san francisco, and 68 in hayward. low 70s for the south bay and some spots may be even cooler than yesterday. so we'll continue to follow that forecast headingng into the weekend. more on that coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you very much. developing right now, antioch police are investigating a deadly double shooting that happened just before 9:00 last night on delta fair boulevard near turner elementary school. police say a man and a woman were shot. the woman died at the scene. the man is in the hospital. we don't know the extent of his injuries at this point. we do know that the shooter is still on the loose. police believe the shooting was random or -- or they do not believe it was random but they're not saying if they have identified possible suspects. high-powered attorney john burrs is expected to file against walgreens and the

security company of the security guard that shot bonk oh brown. yesterday tensions at times boiled over. the conflict involved several family members and it centered around a dispute between brown's birth mother and step-mom. as for the lawsuit, the family wants justice served, but this claim is about more than that. >> we're not -- don't have a particular money damage set because i've never set that in a case. but eventually we hope that there will be some change in policies that walgreens will set forth a consistent policy on how to handle these type of cases. >> walgreens and the security company have yet to comment, but walgreens recently severed ties with the security company. the potential criminal case is still in limbo after state attorney general rob bonta this week promised to review it. san francisco d.a. brooke jenkins chose not to charge the guard, believing he acted in

self-defense. today marks two years since one of san jose's darkest moments, that deadly vta rail yard shooting rampage when a deranged employee shot and killed ten co-workers who officers shot and killed him. vta eventually closed the facility and demolished it. today the agency is giving all employees the opportunity to observe a moment of silence. it's happening at 10:00 this morning in order to honor the ten lives that were lost. it means trains, buses, other vta vehicles may actually stop for one full minute before resuming operations. >> today also marks a solemn day for law enforcement across the bay area. in a few hours fallen officers will be honored. california highway patrol is holding its annual memorial wall ceremony happening at 10:00 this morning at the golden gate division in vallejo. families of fallen officers will watch as their names are read and inscribed on the memorial

wall. the clock is rapidly ticking down to a debt ceiling default. >> lawmakers have left for the memorial day holiday without a deal. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is live. there's a lot that needs to happen. where do negotiations stand this morning? >> reporter: good morning, laura, kris. a lot needs to happen and there's only a little bit of time. so members of congress have already headed home for the memorial day holiday and debt ceiling negotiators are still trying to reach some sort of an agreement. we're just days away from defaulting on the debt ceiling. >> the only way to move forward is with a bipartisan agreement and i believe we'll come to an agreement. >> we've got time. we're going to get this done. >> reporter: both sides say talks are progressing, but it's slow progress. one of the biggest hangups, republicans' demand for tougher work requirements for people who receive food stamps and other

government assistance. >> we have serious issues still to work out and come to terms with, and that's going to take some time. >> reporter: some democrats argue the gop is holding the economy hostage and worry about possible concessions the president may make. >> because they have concluded that if we crash the economy, it will benefit them politically. that's a sick way of thinking. >> reporter: this follows fresh concerns about the harm of failing to reach an agreement by the june 1st deadline. just this week, a top credit rating agency warned of a potential downgrade to the u.s. aaa rating. president biden tried to ease concerns, stressing default is not an option. >> the american people deserve to know that their social security payments will be there. >> reporter: members of the house left town for the memorial day weekend, but were told to be ready to return if a deal is reached. and progressive caucus chair

pramila jayapal said democrats were told that the earliest they would come back is this sunday. so something to keep an eye on. >> most definitely. thanks so much, brie. happening now, new warnings ahead of memorial day weekend amid concerns over rising river levels east of the bay area. first responders are hoping to avoid more scenes like this one, powerful water rescues in really strong currents. the massive snowmelt this year has led to 20 water rescues alone in the sacramento area, nearly as many as all of last year. in a few cases, people did die. water levels at yosemite also extremely high and park rangers are advising visitors to keep their distance when visiting all waterfalls and waterways. let's bring in meteorologist kari hall. a lot of people are sure to be out and probably traveling this holiday weekend. >> i've seen videos of people near the waterfalls in yosemite and usually it's a light mist coming through, and it's like whoosh! >> it makes it so slippery.

>> yes, and then, also, some of the walkways are under water, too. and so it's really dangerous. you have to be mindful of the water that we have and we've had these daily storms firing up. i wanted to loop this from the past about 18 hours, what we saw yesterday afternoon, once again, storms that developed during the afternoon and produced a lot of lightning. and we see that all through the sierra. look at all the lightning there. it's been pretty dangerous in that sense, too. as we take a look at our forecast for the weekend, more storms will be possible and we'll see temperatures in the mid-60s, headed for 70 degrees on saturday. but, yeah, i think the rain thing we've been watching is the sierra snowmelt, thunderstorms as well as quickly-moving rivers. we'll continue to monitor that. also help you make some weekend plans with our forecast coming up in a few minutes. mike has a look at where you may want to stop and get some gas. >> a lot of folks are hitting the road. let's talk about cupertino.

their best gas prices are $4.09 at great gas, alameda county we're hearing about $4.09 at hayward's best at the marathon and larkspur at marin gas on magnolia avenue, $4.19. let's get to the roadways because we're focusing on one major issue. everything is relatively light down here, but it's down to one lane for southbound 17 at hamilton avenue or just before you get there. you can use washington as an apgz if you need to once traffic starts to build, but we'll look at the video we just got into the newsroom. again, southbound 17, one lane is now open. look at the damage to these vehicles. the we're waiting for more

updates, but clearly there's a lot of work to be done by the chp, the investigation, and of course the cleanup crew that has to move the vehicles as well. we're tracking it all, southbound 17 down to one lane just before hamilton. >> that looks like a pretty bad crash. coming up, the unofficial start of summer, later this weekend ahead on "today in the bay," despite inflation, the new signs that actually barbecuing is going to cost much less this year. >> hot dog. >> and power up. there are new ways to get your electric car charged up and where it needs to go. >> plus -- ♪♪ ♪ you're a pal and a confidant ♪ >> calling all golden girls, we are going to take you live to the east bay where a celebration of the legendary show will get under way tonight and you don't want to miss it.

good friday morning. as you're heading out the door, heading to work this morning in gilroy, it's in the low 50s right now and it is a cloudy start. our usual cool morning and we'll see it clearing out as we head toward late morning, into the afternoon. another really comfortable afternoon ahead as well. we'll talk more about that in the forecast coming up. i'm still tracking a deadly crash, a big issue for the south

bay. you're looking at 280 and 17, and 17 southbound is where the crash is located, just a bit south of here before you get to hamilton. we're down to one lane for southbound 17. we continue to track progress at the scene and slowing, because undoubtedly we'll see more cars. very light traffic right now. we'll cover the rest of the bay coming up. good morning. happy friday to you. wall street relieved to hear about all the progress in the debt ceiling talks. i'm going to be honest, when we talk politics in about 30 minutes, i'm going to find some ways to be kind of more dour. jpmorgan says 85% of the people who worked at the bay area's first republic bank keep their jobs, for now. it also means about 1,000 people will not keep their jobs. nvidia, we gave you a heads-up on trading yesterday, made history with the single biggest daily stock jump in all of financial history. the santa clara company turned in blockbuster profits,

predicted huge demand ahead for its powerful chip sets, which it says can be used to power artificial intelligence. nvidia is a very good company. the stock was already up 100% on the year. and it makes very good chips. those chips also kind of make it a little trendy because they can be used to mine bitcoin, they can be used to power self-driving cars, and now ai. >> speaking of cars, tesla is going to let ford owners charge their cars at supercharging stations starting next year. ford will have to use an adapter, but it sounds like they'll built the socket into its cars in the future. we were talking this week about how netflix is sending out emails to people who share their password. scammers are very smart and taking advantage of people on the lookout for an email, sending out emails like this one. it says, your netflix has been cut off, but if you didn't mean to do that, just click the link,

give us your credit card information. now, if you look really closely in the middle of the paragraph, there are ways you can tell it's a scam. they forgot to capitalize netflix in the middle of the email, is one way. the best way to do all of this, whether it's chase bank, kaiser permanente, anyone who sends you an email, just go to your account. don't click the link. go to chase.com and log in. they will also notify you there, or netflix or what have you. >> and even look at who is sending it. i got that. >> yes, it was your email. >> it was my email and they were trying to trick you. see where it comes from. you can't have my $7.99. >> thank you, scott. so the memorial day weekend means firing up the grill for many of us because summer barbecue season is here. good news, though, summer barbecue season is going to cost you a little less this year. propane prices are half of what they were last year, according

to s&p commodity insight. these are the lowest prices in two years. the major reason for the price decline, people aren't using propane to heat their homes and the price for beef and pork also went down by 2%. hot dogs and chicken, though, they're going to cost you more. >> need the propane for my little fire pit. i was cleaning up the patio and getting things ready. >> it's exciting. >> it is. >> and we're heading into a weekend where it's been, you know, nice and cool, and the cool weather continues. there's so much going on around the bay area. we know you've got to get to work this morning, this last day before maybe you have a long weekend. in santa rosa we're at 52 degrees right now and we're going to see cloudy skies throughout the morning. a cool start and then we'll start to see the sun peeking out around 11:00 to 12:00. seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. let's head to oakland today. we have a game tonight for the a's and that's going to be at

about 6:40, first pitch, 62 degrees, breezy winds and partly cloudy skies. make sure you're wearing something nice and warm because temperatures will drop throughout the evening. overall, a good one out there, after seeing our high temperature reaching 66 degrees. we'll be about the same in san mateo, 71 in fremont. some of these temperatures for the inland valleys may be even a little bit cooler compared to yesterday, only reaching 71 in in concord, as well as dublin, livermore, 71 in santa rosa. for tomorrow, it's about the same with some upper 60s, low 70s, maybe a degree or two warmer in some spots. and then into sunday it's also looking nice and cool as we continue to get ocean breezes kicking through. if you're going to bottle rock this weekend, perfect weather. but if it being that comfortable outside, all of that sunshine, make sure you're wearing sunscreen because you can easily burn without realizing it because it's so comfortable. and we'll also have more cool weather in the forecast through memorial day.

but we're still seeing the same weather pattern where storms are developing over the sierra and some of the upper elevations. so just a heads-up for travel across the region. here at home highs in the low 70s, morning temperatures in the low 50s and cool for beach plans. in san francisco we're only headed up for 60 degrees for the next few days. mike, we still have that very serious crash. >> south bay, folks, listen up. there is a crash that's got you down to one lane, a deadly crash. this investigation will take some time. we saw a number of vehicles, the video i showed you earlier. we're looking at winchester boulevard as an alternate to southbound 17. once you get to hamilton, you can take hamilton to 17 and join up with the freeway, getting toward the santa cruz mountains. the northbound side is clear as you head toward 280 and 17. very early in the commute and we have a lighter build. we of course will have a lighter traffic flow. there's not a lot of slowing,

but southbound 17, passing by hamilton, just before you get there, that's where your lane restrictions are. highway 4, 37 and the bay bridge toll plaza all operating smoothly now. next, nbc bay area responds. >> two viewers are not smiling after visiting the dentist and thousands of dollars are in the balance. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay area responds next. >> first, we're moving you forward with our school shout-out series. this is a fourth grade class from san jose's merritt trace elementary school. >> good morning. we are the fourth graders at marry trace elementary school. we want to say -- >> good morning, bay area! >> they're so cute.

when a consumer problem chomps a bite out of your budget, we're here to helplp. >> consumer i investigator chrh chchmura has two recent dental

cases to share. >> good morning. let's start with a crown treatment that required multiple trips to the dentist. after a few visits, the dentist stopped responding, even though the work was incomplete and paid for. we emailed the practice's corporate headquarters about her $43,000 bill. the corporate office called, then the local office completed her five-figure treatment. the work came out good. thank you, chris. you're a wachl for the people. we try. that's what we did for kendall in novato. she had been battling with an orthodontist. the dental work didn't work, she wanted a $6,800 refund. that didn't happen, so kendall emailed us. we tried to contact the orthodontist, no response. we recommended kendall file a complaint. she's now suing in small claims court, a step we sometimes have to recommend as a last resort. can we sink our teeth into your

consumer complaints? scan the qr code to fill out our consumer complaint form online. this weekend you have the chance to live life like it is truly gordon. fans can get a peek behind the golden curtain. >> the orinda theatre is taking this memorial day weekend to celebrate all things golden girls. joining us live is the theatre's owner. thanks for getting up early, first of all. why do you think that the allure continues with the golden girls? what can fans expect? >> i think the thing is with the golden girls, it was truly the writing on the show, and obviously the actors were phenomenal. they touched on issues that still hold up today, and that's why i think another generation loves the golden girls. and over the weekend you're going to see -- >> please, go ahead. >> over the weekend you're going

to see writers that have won 12 emmy awards combined, terry hughes, who directed 108 episodes, you've got guest stars who appeared on the show, producers. it's really an inside look at what happened behind the golden curtain. >> you've really turned your orinda theatre into that miami bungalow paradise. show us what some of your favorite features are and what people might recognize from the show. >> we do have outside blanche's bedroom and the kitchen, which is set up right here. we also have some artwork, we have some original props from the show, we also have the jackets that past members have worn. we also have these very unique sculptures of the four girls which were actually done in australia -- excuse me, israel,

beautiful sculptures. we've got memorabilia from all over, collectibles. we have one of the three originals from the show. everything is very miami, pinks and greens. here is actually the original -- one of the originals sofas that was redone by the guy who created the beautiful sofa that everybody knows. >> very cool. so much to see there. that's taking place this weekend. thanks, derek, for joining us. if you still want to attend, there are still tickets available. just visit behindthegoldencurtain.com for details. all the info is on the website. >> i love it. we will be r

we're going to use any investigative tools we have at our disposal. >> right now at 5:30, new gunfire on a bay area freeway. this time the chp calling it a road rage incident. we'll have the latest on the investigation. >> ready to hit the road and the skies. brace for a busy holiday travel weekend. we are live with the expected number of travelers and it might be a record. we'll tell you when it might be easiest to reach your destination. >> a fiery night ahead in bottlerock but nothing to do with the festival. we've got video showing a tent in flames at the campgrounds.

what witnesses are saying and a look at the long weekend of fun on tap as well. this is "today in the bay." first we want to say good friday morning to you. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm kris sanchez. marcus washington has the morning off. we know your forecast is important to you for this long holiday weekend, but we want to start with mike because he's tracking a crash that is shutting down part of the freeway. >> behind me you see highway 17 southbound before you get to hamilton. we have a video from the scene. a number of vehicles involved and one person has died as a result of this crash. so an investigation continues and there are a number of vehicles, i think three tow trucks are arriving to remove three vehicles, but the coroner is also heading to the scene. that is southbound 17, but from 280 down to the crash scene, i don't see a lot of slowing. it's at the crash scene where you're down to one lane, and then once you pass by at

hamilton, everything is clear. you can use winchester and surface streets to get past and jump back on. if you're going northbound, i don't see slowing there, nor do i see a problem from the santa cruz mountains over the summit. getting toward the east bay, a smooth flow of traffic across the bay. it's looking very pleasant on the map and it looks pleasant here, too. we're seeing clouds rolling by. all of this will clear out. we're headed for a really nice day and eventually we'll get nothing but sunshine going into the afternoon. but it will be another cloudy morning, but that's helping to keep the temperatures down. it's in the mid-50s now, only headed for 73 degrees today, 71 in dublin, livermore, concord, as well as mountain view, and 68 degrees today in novato. as we go into tomorrow, it's about the same. we're going to settle into this weather pattern with pretty much every day the same kind of conditions, cool coastline and mild for the inland valleys.

>> there is a lot going on this weekend, probably a lot of traveling. this is a live look at sfo where developing today it may be one of the busiest days in years when it comes to air travel. the roads will be packed as well. >> 42 million americans, that is a lot of people, expected to travel more than 50 miles over the long holiday weekenend, according to aaa. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live at sfo, which will be hopping a little bit later this morning. ginger, how is it looking so far this morning? >> reporter: good morning, kris and laura. well, just like kari and mike said, things are looking fairly pleasant here at sfo. take a look at those wait times behind us. four minutes if you have tsa pre-check, four minutes if you don't. either way, things are looking easy breezy at sfo for now. there are projections this memorial day weekend that say otherwise. take a look at some of those numbers. more than 42 million americans, as you mentioned, will travel

more than 50 miles. that number is up 7% from last year. 3.4 million americans are projected to fly this memorial day weekend, which means airline travel is slated to increase by 11% this weekend compared to last year. road trips have also increased by 6%. what does this mean for you? if you're head to do sfo, oakland or sjc this morning or afternoon, be prepared. you can anticipate long lines not just today, but they say throughout the summer season, because as the aaa spokesperson put it, people are ready to get back out there. >> international travel is really spiking this year, and that's playing a big role in how many people want to travel by air. despite inflation, despite the fact that air travel is so much more expensive this year than last year, that's not stopping people from booking flights. >> reporter: 140,000 people are forecasted to travel through sfo today, over in oakland 130,000

passengers. now, oakland has added new destinations this summer and the travel season, which may include -- or which may support more passengers, all three bay area airports are suggesting getting to your flights with plenty of time so you don't stress out, two hours before domestic departures and three hours for international destinations. more than 37 million americans are projected to hit the roads and drive to their destinations this memorial day weekend. the good news is that gas prices are lower this year compared to last year when the national average was more than $4 a gallon. road travel is still a bit shy of pre-pandemic numbers. now, the worst times, they say, to travel this memorial day weekend is today, between 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. if you're coming back from your destination, the worst time would be noon to 3:00 on monday. we'll have more on what the wait times are going to look like in

the next hour. you can see it's fluctuating, but we're still in single digits. that's good news. >> thank you very much, ginger. >> good chance to get away. it is 5:36. and chp is still trying to sort out the details in an apparent road rage shooting that happened on interstate 580. it happened yesterday near keller avenue in oakland in an incident the chp says culminated in a crash. officers learned of that shooting as they were at the scene. no one was hit by the gunfire, but both drivers did get injured in that crash. >> we had a k9 from the alameda county sheriff's office came out to the scene, and using their help we were able to recover a firearm near the scene. >> both drivers were detained and the chp says at this time no charges have been filed. but they do say the investigation is ongoing. 5:37, and happening today san francisco police will hold a virtual town hall to shed more light on a deadly shooting by officers.

it happened last friday during a police standoff in glenn park. officers responded to reports of a prowler inside a home on bosworth street. the suspected turned out to be armed. after several hours of fruitless negotiations, officers shot and killed that man. the person living there managed to get out safely. today a martial arts instructor accused of sexual assault will appear in court. earnest ramirez is facing multiple charges of sexual assault, including against a minor. he formerly owned the extreme martial arts studio in san jose and also operated an after-school program for trace elementary. the plea hearing is set for 9:00 this morning. some students at san jose's willow glen high school are organizing a walkout today in response to recent safety concerns. this follows an incident last week where a school resource officer tackled a student who police say was carrying a loaded

ghost gun and a knife. that incident, along with another incident at hoover middle school involving a student with a gun, led to a very tense week for san jose unified students and parents. >> we have gone through, oh, my god, so many things. >> last night's school board meeting there were teachers, parents, and students asking for more action from the school board, some asking for an improved response plan, along with mental health support for students following traumatic incidents. more importantly, parents are also calling for better communication from san jose unified. >> coming from them, there wouldn't be any rumors, and then we could figure out how to take action. instead, we have to figure out whether we're going to send our kids to school or keep them home. >> what you're doing is not enough, and if you can't see it, then you need to step down and let somebody else do it. >> some parents are promising to

continue to show up to those board meetings until new action is taken by board members. as for today's student protests, willow glen students say they plan to wear orange to bring attention to gun violence and awareness. new overnight, napa county firefighters responded to a small fire at a campground where fans are staying for this weekend's bottlerock festival. we talked with a camper who believes a car and a tent may have caught fire. >> we just got out of the shower and we were coming up here, and i heard horns blaring and people screaming fire, so i started screaming fire when i was over there. >> right now it's still not clear how that fire started. there are no reports of any injuries. as for the festival itself, fans are bracing for a weekend full of fun, food and, most importantly, music. ♪♪ >> post malone is tonight's

headliner, and then lizzo headlines tomorrow night. the red hot chili peppers close out the festival on sunday. hopefully you already have tickets because all three days are sold out. we did check stubhub this morning to see how much resale tickets are going for and there were no tickets available. on seat geek we are seeing three-day passes starting at just a little under $600. >> whoa. nice lineup. >> i was thinking about how far we've come. >> i was, too. >> a few years ago it was bottlerock and it was the first festival. >> and we couldn't be together and all of that. it's got this really good feeling of emergence. summer is coming, things are really opening up. >> it feels normal-normal. >> and the weather is amazing. i don't think it gets any better than this. let's take a look at that

forecast. >> i feel like we need to knock on wood or something. >> upper 60s, low 70s, sunshine, it is going to be beautiful this weekend. lucky you if you have tickets. here is another thing you can check out, at the alameda county fairgrounds all weekend long there's the 626 night market and it starts at 3:00 this evening and it will be 67, breezy, and then it will be cooling off quickly as we go into tonight. so as we go into the rest of the weekend, we also have the san francisco carnival happening both tomorrow and sunday, with the parade happening on sunday morning at 9:30 in the morning. it's only going to be 55 degrees, as well as a lot of clouds, and we'll eventually start to see the sun peeking out throughout the day. want to get away from the crowds? maybe you want to head to the beach and monterey is going to be in the upper 50s. cool this weekend with a mostly cloudy sky. if you're going to tahoe this weekend, we are going to continue to see showers and

thunderstorms developing during the afternoon. it's only going to be in the upper 50s for today and low 60s for tomorrow, as well as sunday, even into memorial day, it's going to be about the same weather. mike, you've been watching one major incident affecting part of the commute. >> in the south bay. overall the south bay looks great and it's friday, so we have a lighter volume. the commute doesn't kick in until later. the sensors are all green in the area, there's slowing as you head past the southbound area approaching hamilton. the crash just before you get there and that's down to just one lane. winchester is an alternate in case you want to avoid that and then get onto the freeway at hamilton. northbound 17 is fine and so are the rest of the freeways. there's a new crash around fremont, so we'll check on that for 680. no major slowing. the oakland coliseum, kari talked about a game tonight. we're looking at a little build

and maybe a crash on highway 4 at 242, and bottlerock, we talked about that in napa county. there will be a lot of traffic in this area. back to you. new allegations of church abuse in san francisco, here is candice nguyen from our investigative unit. >> reporter: good morning. our investigation into the reignited church scandal in northern california has led investigative units to a san francisco priest. we investigate the archdiocese receiving a disturbing report about this priest decades ago. the decision to allow him to keep working and now more alleged victims coming forward. i'm candice nguyen with the unit. watch that full report right now on nbcbayarea.com/investigations. 5:44 right now. beyond frustrated. coming up, vandals hit an east bay restaurant not once, but twice, taking some liberties while they're at it. we'll explain what the owner is

dealing with. >> a lot of people talking about washington being close to an agreement on the debt ceiling, but speaker mccarthy says, no, we're n. so what'ots

good friday morning. the time is 5:47. let's head to palo alto. it looks like it's a nice, easy start to our friday, and the temperature is at 54 degrees. cool morning and also mostly cloudy. but it's going to clear out today and shape up to be a

beautiful afternoon. we're talking about the weekend plans and the weather for all of our microclimates coming up. we do have an issue here, continuing the alert for south 17, just before hamilton. we're just down to one lane, a deadly crash. a number of vehicles to be cleared. chp just updated us, one lane is open now. about 45 minutes from now they hope to have all lanes reopened. that's about 6:30. we'll track the progress as we track the build because the volume is starting to build through the south bay right about now as well. 5:47 now. an east bay business was broken into twice within 24 hours, chattered glass and boarded-up windows greeted customers at nick's sandwiches on railroad avenue yesterday. the owner says the vandal stole food and drinks. police are investigating and have taken one person into custody. the united states is running low on money. the treasury says it's down to

about $50 billion. scott mcgrew is here. that sounds like a lot of money, but not when you're a country. >> bill gates has about twice that. so bill gates, united states. the amount of money the united states has on hand does vary day to day because money flows into and out of the treasury every day. keeping that money supply predictable is why we have treasury bonds. the government buys and sells them all the time, but the government can't issue debt because we haven't raised the debt ceiling. it's as simple as that. when we run out of money, we stop paying for things. the government checks stop, we default. janet yellen predicts that will happen a week from today. in the meantime, the united states of america, the leader of the free world, winner of two world wars, has $49 billion in cash on hand to run the country. apple, the company, has $55 billion of cash on hand it keeps around for emergencies. the word on the beltway is

negotiations are going well, the two sides are close to a deal. republican negotiators willing to raise the debt ceiling for two years past the upcoming elections in exchange for cutbacks to the irs, food stamps and other programs. this "new york times" headline, both sides in the room walk away happy, it says, everybody gets a win, except republicans in the house are not happy. that is not the agreement they had, it's not the bill they signed. remember, some of them barely tolerate speaker mccarthy as it is. here is chip roy from texas on news the deal may be close. >> when it comes down to game time, and it's game time right now, when it comes down to game time are we going to use the power of the purse to defend the american people against the onslaught of tyranny of the executive branch, or are we going to tuck tail, take the first exit ramp off and walk away? because what i'm hearing right

now being debated, being negotiated, is taking the first exit ramp off to cut a deal. >> mccarthy needs that guy and the rest of the house to agree to the deal he strikes with the white house. so despite all the positive headlines, mccarthy is still acting like there's no deal, that he didn't take the first exit ramp. >> there is no agreement, all right? we know where our differences lie, we've worked throughout the day, we'll continue to work to try to be able to solve the problem, but there's no agreement. >> if we hear about a deal in the white house, that does not mean the problem is solved. it has to pass the house and senate, too. they're ready to vote, but will they vote yes? >> a and when will they do it i they do it at all? thank you very much. well, let's get some refreshing news. how about a live look outside in san francisco? the sun is up, it's going to burn through the clouds and warm things up. we've had some cool days, but we're not complaining. it's been quite pleasant. and a lot of folks approaching a

three-day weekend. sometimes you don't care what the weather is going to be. >> when you're off, it's all good. >> i was looking at that camera because it's misting and drizzling right now in san francisco. i wanted to give you another view because that's kept the temperatures down, especially near the coastline. you not only need the jacket, but also something that's going to help protect you from the drizzle that's coming down, the drizzle storm in san francisco. so our may gray continues and we'll see that keeping our coastal areas very chilly. meanwhile, our inland valleys have been very comfortable. take a look at brentwood. it's windy right now but mainly clear, 55 degrees. we'll see temperatures in the low 60s, in the mid-60s by noon as we head for the low 70s. you compare the low 70s in fairfield to the 75 we'll see in los gatos and then only 60 degrees for half moon bay. novato reaching 68 degrees. what we had yesterday, what we have today will be the same thing we'll see tomorrow, as well as sunday. only some minor changes here and

there as we are looking at our temperatures remaining about the same. the cool air continues, and this has been cooler than normal, especially for memorial day weekend. we're going to continue to see the below average temperatures into the holiday, but we've also seen showers and thunderstorms developing over the sierra in some of those upper elevations, we may see more of that going into next week. all quiet here and i really didn't have to change the temperatures too much from day to day. each morning we start out in the low 50s, we reach into the low 70s in the warmest spot inland while the coastal areas in san francisco only reach up to about 60 degrees. mike, do we know how long those lanes will be blocked on 17? >> we know what chp told us. they said about 45 minutes from their first report, so basically that translates to 6:30 when they think southbound 17 will have all lanes open. you can't really see the slowing sensors, but they are there as you travel south approaching hamilton, you're down to one

lane because of a deadly crash. the investigation and clearing the cars is taking some time. winchester boulevard is an alternate to get you past the scene and back to hamilton. then south 17 is clear toward the santa cruz summit. it's friday, so it's a lighter build. back over to you. >> thank you, mike. happening now, police are investigating a hate crime targeting the berkeley home of uc president michael drake. investigators say last week vandals spray painted racial slurs, profanity and offensive symbols. neighbors tell us someone recently smashed the windows as well, which led to a new fence going up all around the home. drake's office is now working with police to find the people responsible. b.a.r.t. is ready to take you where it never has really gone before, into the world of anime. we're going to show you the brand new mascot and the special timing behind this unusual unveiling. >> then at 6:00, a deadly double shooting rocking an east bay

neighborhood. we'll have an update on the search for the shooter. >> and a quick reminder, you can watch nbc bay area news whenever you would like. we stream on roku, amazon fire, samsung tv+ and xumo. you can watch live breaking news, news conferences, even repeats of our newscasts. a lot more news ahead this

as summer approaches, many children will be out of school and ready to have fun. the "today" show jenna bush hager is collaborating with the library program to help children keep up with reading over the summer. >> good morning. although school is coming to a close, a child's connection to reading should never take a break and that's why i'm partnering with public libraries across the country for their collaborative summer library program to make sure kids are not only reading all summer long, but enjoying the experience. our public libraries are national treasures. you and your child may be surprised how rewarding it can be to disconnect from our phones and find a book to connect with instead. if you want to learn more information about getting your

child or teen involved, check out the read with jenna home page or head to one of your public libraries in the bay area for all the info. i hope you'll join me and my kids and read with us this summer. >> a lot of bay area libraries have great craft programs and stuff, too. i love libraries. okay, b.a.r.t. this year, bay area rapid transit, is doing a deep dive, releasing five b.a.r.t. and bay area themed anime mascots designed by california artists. check out bailey the goat, jasmine and barty. each has its own description and personality described by employees, along with animals that went viral as well. the b.a.r.t. themed merch will be on display at its venue table. the thing is, if you don't know about it, i guess it's so hugely popular, they sell out and

people are trying to find out which characters they are. >> the b.a.r.t. merch, generally they have the christmas sweater, too. my son is going to this. >> the idea is to appeal to a younger, new fresh audience that wants to ride b.a.r.t. >> they are promoting the characters. >> a lot going on. right now at 6:00, marking, sadly, a dark moment in bay area history. the deadly vta railyard shooting rampage. how the agency is honoring the lives lost. >> plus, desperate for a deal before the default deadline. we are live in washington with a look at how the holiday weekend could get in the way of those down to the wire talks and the mounting pressure on president biden to do something. this the "today in the bay." thanks so much for joining us on this friday morning. hope you're kicking off
