we're starting out at 54 degrees and headed for the low 60s by lunchtime and we'll also start to see the sky clearing out a little bit more. high temperature reaching 66, about the same in hayward and san mateo, and in the north bay it's just a touch warmer compared to yesterday for santa rosa. also reaching 73 for san jose, so we're back to yesterday's temperatures. heading into the month of june, a few changes. i'll have more in a few minutes. there's a crash already in the east bay. >> bright and early, the call came in just a few minutes ago and it's southbound 880. you can see in fremont right before you get to the fremont boulevard off-ramp. there has been a call into police and an ambulance has been required to come up on the scene. i'll keep an eye on that and keep you updated on how this commute develops as you're making your way into the south bay. as far as the east bay, we are tracking our normal commute into livermore and down into sunol.

something caught my attention in walnut creek. i'll check on that and be back in a little bit. new this morning, just in time for summer, san francisco leaders are thinking outside of the box to bring back much-needed tourist dollars. >> that's right. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez joins us with a look at an expensive new ad campaign and some of the harder numbers it's leaving out. >> reporter: the city does have its work cut out trying to get people to come back into san francisco, even those who don't live in the city, to get us to go over. san francisco is hoping to boost those tourism numbers even more than last year, which actually did show a recovery from the pandemic. let's take a look together at part of that ad. ♪♪ ♪ san francisco ♪ ♪ alive ♪ >> i don't know about you guys, but my first thought was, where is the fog?

san francisco doesn't always look like that. we do see a lot of the iconic neighborhoods and many of the things that san francisco is famous for, but the online response to this, and it's only been out for a day, has been rough. people say it's totally missing san francisco's charm. people comment that this is what we're not seeing, san francisco as it is, sometimes gritty and sometimes grimy. san francisco is battling headlines about stores shutting down in union square, open-air drug use and sales right outside of city hall and daily social media videos of just filth on the streets and smash-and-grab robberies. but do those images tell the truth? we have those two competing images. let's take a look at the crime data comparing the first five months this year with last year. overall, believe it or not, crime is down in san francisco about 7%. there were 10% fewer burglaries,

a 22 decrease in rape, there was a 25% increase in homicide, which is four more people who died by homicide, a 17% increase in robberies, which affects tourists, about 157 more cases, and a 6% increase in auto theft, or about 149 more thefts over that five-month period. the ad is san francisco's first-ever tv commercial, it is part of a $6 million campaign that folks will see primarily in new york, chicago, d.c., boston, houston, and some elements will also target international markets as well. the campaign starts now, it will push through october. so those prime months when it's so beautiful to visit san francisco, the best time. we'll have to see whether or not it generates. what did you think? >> it's cheery and bright, like your dress, which i love, by the

way. but it was interesting. i think from a local's perspective, you kind of chuckle a little bit. >> i did when it went from, hey, everyone is having fun and then you see the trash. >> the trash was not part of the ad. >> no, no, no, i meant showing the difference between the two. that i understood. the thing about it is, when you're advertising something, you always show the best part. any business is going to have some downfalls. >> i will agree with folks saying it misses the charm. one person online commenting said this isn't san diego. >> the mom-and-pop places. >> or just, i don't know, the flavor. >> where is the fog? >> thanks a lot, kris. well, our investigative unit have been taking a close look at the crime and safety in san francisco, and our streaming

series called "saving san francisco", you can watch all six episodes on nbcbayarea.com/saving san francisco. students are working to make their school safer with mayor matt mahan. mahan met with students in east san jose last night to talk about safety concerns. students have said that unhoused people have been trespassing onto campus and using drugs. the mayor says he wants to make sure security cameras are installed on campus and also wants to talk to the district police chief to get a gauge of what's going on. mahan says he'll work on finding long-term solutions for unhoused people. >> longer term i believe that the single most important thing we can do is scale up basic safe housing, interim housing communities. >> the school says it wants to work with the city and district. this morning the clock is

ticking down. the federal government has just under a week to avoid a first-ever debt default. >> the default is between president biden and the house speaker kevin mccarthy, which is making its way through congress. both sides are still working to secure support. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is live in washington. despite the pushback and the bill moving forward, talk to us about this. >> reporter: good morning. there has been criticism. one republican lawmaker referred to this bill as a turd sandwich yesterday and it did pass a key hurdle, the house rules committee where it narrowly passed and is now moving forward. the debt limit fight heads to the house floor for a vote today. battle lines are already drawn. >> no republican should vote for this bill and my focus is trying to persuade my colleagues what's wrong with the bill. >> i have not decided.

>> reporter: some hard-line republicans argue the measure which cuts spending did not go far enough. progressive democrats raise concerns about concessions president biden made, party leaders are working to secure enough votes to get the bill to the president's desk. >> but it's important for house republicans to produce at least 150 votes. this is an agreement that they, themselves, negotiated, and they should be able to produce the votes necessary. >> reporter: if the plan passes the house, it moves to the senate where there's bipartisan praise. >> house republicans focused on reaching a bipartisan agreement to put reasonable caps on federal spending. >> i commend president biden and his team for producing a sensible compromise under the most difficult of circumstances. >> reporter: across the country there's a sense of urgency. >> we're tired of gridlock. we can't default on our debt. that would be ugly for this

country. so hopefully they'll get together and do the right thing. >> reporter: the federal government has just under a week to lift the debt limit before the june 5th deadline. and if passed, the bipartisan deal, which is officially known as the fiscal responsibility act, would extend the debt limit for two years. marcus, laura. >> brie jackson in washington this morning, thank you. in the bay area, representative barbara lee is set to announce new funding to help protect san francisco bay. she, along with leaders with the environmental protection agency are going to hold a news conference today. they'll discussed 52 million in funding for projects to restore the bay area's waters, wetlands and deliver benefits to underserved communities. the event will be held at the arrowhead marsh in oakland at 9:00 this morning. 5:10, just before the sun comes up, overlooking downtown san jose.

then we head over to hayward where we have $4.09 at the marathon gas and the cheapest one i could find this morning was at $4.03 at the arco in mill valley off southbound 101. let's take a look at the roads and go to fremont where i am tracking this crash just before you get to the fremont boulevard off-ramp. we can see on the sensors the buildup starting to build right behind that crash, but otherwise we are going to keep an eye on that and bring you the latest as it develops. as far as the rest of the tri-valley and drive times, grant line to 680 is about 25 minutes, 580 to vargas road about 10, and to 680 almost a ten-minute commute. back to you. >> thanks, cinthia. the empty storefronts in san francisco are growing in numbers, but that could change. >> here is a way to put it back, to make the city charming again, to fill it with authenticity and

nvidia briefly became one of the few companies worth a trillion dollars, before falling back a bit yesterday. nvidia's competitor intel expected to announce a multi-million investment in east sentinel. the company makes security cameras that can tell the difference between something innocent like a doordash delivery, and something dangerous like someone casing your house, looking to break in, and it calls security and the police before the crime happens. >> and that's why we have so many criminals we've arrested since we launched about four years ago. we call police with a verified call for service and they know to respond the stop and criminal. >> he was also the guy who created redfin realty. a group of ai experts, including the same people who created chatgpt, issued a joint statement warning the world artificial intelligence could be very dangerous, like extinction

dangerous, writing mitigating the risk of extinction from ai should be a global priority, alongside other societal scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. >> from killer robots to ufos, nasa today will have a public conference about what it's doing to track down the source of strange unidentified flying objects spotted by very serious sober people, like american fighter pilots. just because they're unidentified flying objects does not make them flying saucers from another planet. nasa prefers the term unidentified ariel phenomenon. you can participate in this morning's meeting online starting at 7:30. and case-shiller says prices have stabilized, prices in the

metropolitan statistical area, down around 11% on the year, but the latest month they're up again. experts think this is a sign of the bottom. there's not much out there because few people want to sell their house into a high mortgage situation. >> that's true. >> prices are up about 3%. >> they're sitting out a little longer, though. >> they are. from houses to storm fronts, san francisco's empty businesses, an artist wants people who owner those properties as an investment to double that investment by housing artists or providing performance spaces. she points out that north beach and asbury are neighborhoods that became what they are when artists move in. she says you can look at what artists have created in the black rock desert in nevada. >> we started burning man, we took the emptiest space in

america and turned it into an international phenomenon. and we did that with no money, also. >> well, the director of san jose state institute for metropolitan studies said that parklets are a sign that the city can evolve and that housing artists in empty space sincerely part of the future. it's cool to see what we can do with all the space we have out there. >> artistic is the bay area, for sure. nice weather as well. lately it's been so mild, but pleasant. it's been mild and definitely may gray that's been causing all of this. we're getting ready to head into june, but will we see the gloom? we're taking a live look outside in san jose, where it is a cloudy start. that's our marine layer that slides in during the morning and kind of retreats back to the coastline throughout the late morning into the afternoon. and so we're right now at 55 degrees, we're going to see it

clearing out here by 9:00 to 10:00, and then the rest of the day all sunshine. once again, we're keeping those milder temperatures. as we zoom into the south bay, we're heading back to 73 degrees, where we were yesterday and the day before, and the day before that. but as you take a look at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen, we're going to see some slight warming in time for the weekend. so one more day of highs in the low 70s for walnut creek and danville, 66 in oakland and hayward, and 68 degrees in vallejo. and in half moon bay 59 degrees once again, daly city reaching 61. a bit milder for redwood city, reaching 68 degrees. in san francisco, low 60s, and for the north bay, 77 in santa rhodes, while sonoma and novato will see a high of about 73 degrees and cool for the coastline. as we take a look at all of the action that fired up yesterday over the sierra, more thunderstorms, and we've seen that pretty much every day.

i do think by tomorrow we'll start to see a slight downward trend and all of that thunderstorm activity, but we're seeing our reservoirs running pretty high as a lot of the water, the snowmelt continues to drain down. we're seeing the water levels in our reservoirs today at 98% of capacity for some of our local reservoirs. statewide they're on average about 80% of capacity for our four largest reservoirs across northern california. so we're seeing them go up as well as we continue to see storms, as well as sierra snowmelt. take a look at the seven-day forecast. temperatures headed for the mid-70s today, upper 70s tomorrow and reaching into the mid-80s for the weekend. beautiful weekend ahead. it will be warmer. with the pools open and water parks, you probably want some warmer weather. we're going to get that this weekend while san francisco doesn't see too much of a change. we're going to reach into the upper 60s for the weekend.

cinthia, you've been watching one issue for the roads this morning. >> the issue continues to be in fremont. right before you get to the fremont boulevard off-ramp, there's a crash that's starting to clear, but still there's a backup. the ambulance has been called to the scene, as well as chp. as far as our south bay commute, it looks pretty good on northbound 101 and your commute into sunnyvale and into the peninsula. as far as the rest of the bay area, still looking at green sensors, the buildup into the tri-valley, heading from the tri-valley into parts of the bay area. i'll track more and bring you the latest. >> look at you moving everybody forward. thank you. coming up next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> we're all smiles here. our unrelenting consumer advocates are celebrating a milestone. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay area responds with results you can genuinely take

the bay area. eventually clearing up as we will head for more sunshine today, and still cooler than normal temperatures for much of the bay area, reaching 73 in novato, 66 in hayward, 73 in san jose. it's going to warm up for the weekend. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. cinthia, you've been watching one big issue in fremont. >> it's on southbound 880, so people making their way from fremont into parts of san jose, it is blocking the number two lane, i'm told. an ambulance is on scene, as well as the tow truck, making sure that they clear this out of the way just in time for the morning rush. green on the sensors, bay area wide, and as far as our bridges go, we're seeing the buildup. metering lights should come up in the next couple of minutes. we're also looking a little breezy, so make sure you have both hands on the wheel this morning. i'll take a look at our north bay drive times in just a bit.

back to you. >> thank you. 5:32. developing this morning, investigators still piecing together what led to a deadly two-car crash along highway 1. >> both cars ending up plunging into a lagoon. ginger conejero saab is live for us in redwood city. just hearing about this leaves so many questions. do we know what happened here? >> reporter: well, marcus, laura, there are still a lot of unanswered questions this morning, but this is what we know from investigators, including chp redwood city, who have been giving updates on this. two males died on the scene from that crash, one woman was critically injured and taken to stanford medical. you can see from this video just how impactful that crash was on highway 1 south of bean hollow state beach, not far from pescadero. chp confirms there were two vehicles involved, a subaru suv traveling northbound and a tesla headed southbound. chp says one of the vehicles crossed over double yellow lines

and crashed head-on with the other vehicle, leaving the subaru partially submerged in a lagoon. one lane remained open while investigators were on the scene. the exact cause is still being investigated at the time. the woman in her 60s has major injuries. we do not have an update on her condition this morning, but it is believed her husband is one of the two men who died on the scene. now, the chp confirming lanes from that crash site are back open this morning. in redwood city, ginger conejero saab, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest there. frustrations are boiling over, oakland's rockridge neighborhood, with neighbors demanding more to be done to boost safety. this follows a recent string of crimes, including this caught on camera, where a 63-year-old woman was attacked outside of market hall. police say the attackers were part of a group of nine minors recently busted in a string of

robberies, that's not easing concerns for residents who packed a meeting with police and city leaders. at times the meeting got heated with people saying they don't feel safe. leaders say they understand the concerns. >> the key is to hold them accountable, to hold the perpetrators accountable that could involve various psychological testing, various programs they must be required to go through as a condition of probation, all sorts of things can happen. but nothing can happen if you don't catch these people. we have to catch them and give them appropriate consequences. >> of the nearly 1,000 robberies reported to oakland police this year, only a handful occurred in the rockridge neighborhood, but neighbors say authorities are not doing enough to hold criminals responsible. to a live look in san francisco, later today mayor london breed plans to outline her two-year budget proposal for the city. yesterday the mayor said the plan includes expanding shelter beds, it will increase affordable housing spots, she's

also promising to focus on police staffing and public safety. the address takes place at 11:00 this morning at city hall. a strip of land in san francisco is the topic of a heated dispute which took a violent turn, over which controls a strip near 22nd and harrison streets. a recent exchange was caught on camera. you can see a woman with mission green way knocking a bag of cheetos away from an employee of monday key brains internet service. she then starts taking video and he knocks the camera out of her hand. after that, she punches the man in the face. no one knows exactly who owns this land. the strip has been divided into thousands of trusts across the country. the ceo says the strip is right behind his company's building. >> you want to use this to load, unload, leave cars overnight. >> correct.

we want to use this area as it's been used historically. >> this is in supervisor hillary ronen's district. a spokesperson says she's offered to bring the two sides together to be a peace negotiator. so far, neither side has taken her up on it. turning to our climate in crisis, following a wet winter, the bay area is still facing fire danger, but it looks very different than the last few years. >> today in the south bay, pg&e are going to take action to minimize that risk. bob redell is live for us this morning. we shouldn't be surprised if we see helicopters because we're doing work, right? >> reporter: correct. starting friday, pg&e will be inspecting large transmission towers, they'll be doing that by a chopper and on the ground inspecting power poles throughout santa clara county, and this is to make sure power lines are secure and not at risk

of coming down during high winds and causing a wildfire. it's also to help prepare for the potential public safety power shutoffs. workers will conduct inspections on the ground, in the air by a chopper, so you might hear that in the south bay. today they will focus on the east hills in san jose, milpitas and the surrounding border communities. tomorrow los gatos, friday northern santa clara county, cupertino, mountain view and sunnyvale. last night here in the east bay the contra costa county fire protection district held their annual wildfire prevention town hall in lafayette to encourage residents to be prepared for this year's wildfire season. >> you are the most important resource in preparing for a wildfire and tomorrow you will also be the most important resource in preparing for a wildfire. >> reporter: cal fire and our local fire departments remind us if you live in a wildland interface, in the woods or on a property with a lot of

vegetation, to make sure you maintain 100 feet of defensible space so there's less fuel to burn around your house. we got a new outlook, 2023 u.s. wildfire forecast predict that in california 400,000 to 1 million acres will burn this fire season, that puts the state at average or slightly above average for fire danger, again, later in the summer when the fuels start to dry out and the temperatures, of course, start to increase. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> we know how damaging those can be. >> sadly. and with all those rains, so much new growth. >> there's a lot of vegetation and eventually it will dry out. it's been cool and humid and we did get a lot of rain throughout our water year. take a look at some of these numbers where we had a surplus in some areas that was 8 inches

above what we typically see, in santa rosa and the north bay. but we had a bigger surplus for the east bay and san francisco where we have 11 inches above the normal amount for the rain that we measured throughout the rainy season. so in a lot of spots we were well over 100% of our normal amount of yearly rainfall, almost double. and of course we always talk about the sierra snowpack as well that's continuing to fill our reservoirs, still running at 400% above our normal amount for this date, and so we're seeing these numbers going up where we're at or over our historical capacity for a lot of our large reservoirs across the state. we'll continue to monitor that and talk about warmer and dryer conditions in the forecast coming up. cinthia has a look ahead for traffic in the middle of the day. >> middle of the day, middle of the week. some people might want to get a break from the workweek and head out to a game. we have the a's game at 12:37,

so you can expect buildup on 880, and just across the bay we're also looking at a giants game. so 12:45, a few minutes apart from each other. if you are headed to lunch in and around this area, make sure you are making your best bet to avoid this traffic and get to your destination on time. as far as the rest of the transit impacts, i wanted to tell you about the vta, they're doing overhead line work. so if you have to take the green or blue line, there are alternatives. they're doing a bus bridge. of course, you can stay connected with us and more updates on vta. back to you. 5:41. dub nation trying to process the warriors major shakeup at the very top. gm bob myers resigns after 11 years and four rings. what it means for the warriors dynasty. we'll have reaction ahead on "today in the bay" from insiders. >> there's a compromise on the debt ceiling but it still has to pass through congress. we are not done yet.

good wednesday morning. it is 5:44. let's get you out the door and ready for the day in richmond. it's mostly cloudy and in the low 50s. it's going to become partly cloudy and an overall cool day once again. but we will have slightly warmer temperatures in the weekend forecast and we'll take a look at that in a few minutes. and we will stay in the east bay, head over to the bay

bridge, where the metering lights have just been turned on. we are seeing that buildup build right in the carpool lane and the other toll lanes. i need you to take a look at your screen, because a san francisco restaurant is hoping you can identify the vandal seen in this video throwing a brick through the window. this happened early saturday morning at guy chicken and rice on 16th street in the mission. the owner says this is the second time it's happened in less than two months and he believes it may be a hate crime because the vandals aimed the brick between two rainbow banners. if you know anything, you are asked to contact san francisco police. breaking news into the newsroom, former new jersey governor chris christie is expected to answer the 2024 presidential race next week. a source tells nbc news he plans to make the announcement at a town hall in new hampshire tuesday. the former governor finished a

2016 primary in the state in sixth place, after dropping out of the race eight years ago he endorsed former president donald trump just days before super tuesday. in the meantime, the bipartisan biden-mccarthy compromise moves to a full house vote today. >> scott, you say all of those words make some republicans cringe, too? >> each one of those words, you've got bipartisan, biden-mccarthy and compromise, not what some in the freedom caucus on the right side of the republican party were hoping for, and they're letting their fellow republicans know it. >> we're prepared to stand up and take the slings and the arrows. we're prepared to tell you the truth. we're prepared to act in courage and honesty to the american people. it falls to my other colleagues who have not joined us before, this is the moment now. >> every republican should oppose it, no republican should vote to validate, affirm and own biden's agenda, and that's what this bill does.

>> speaker mccarthy and president biden now have to find the votes in the house and the senate to pass the debt ceiling compromise before the 5th when the treasury says the u.s. will run out of money. but there's going to be resistance. those same republicans you heard from think not only did their party not hold out for a better deal, they say the compromise favors democrats, that democrats are only pretending to dislike this deal because in reality they got what they wanted. >> it's money that the white house's talking points are cheery, that the white house is telling democrats have crocodile tears, but vote for the bill. it's funny that you have 100 democrats now green lighting they will vote for this bill. you know why they're going to do that? because none of their policies change and they get to keep all of their spending. >> there is a little bit of truth to that.

for instance, a cut in food stamps negotiated by republicans will actually result in more people, not fewer, getting those benefits. the compromise bill made it out of the house committee yesterday, headed for a full vote in the house today. they'll need 218 votes in the house. republicans promised at least 150 of their members will vote yes. that leaves 68 democrats who will have to vote yes and it's likely they'll get more than that. then the senate is more complicated. you need 60 votes for a bill to successfully pass the senate. and there are holdouts on both the republican side and the democratic side. the democrats think biden gave away too much. so, marcus, we are not done yet. >> not done yet at all. thanks, scott. with the nba finals set to begin, the warriors now well into their offseason, but dub nation really left wondering who will fill that void created by

bob myers' departure. >> the architect of the dubs dynasty, myers stepped down yesterday as general manager. nbc sports sports area monty poll and dalton johnson agreed myers had a human touch that will be hard to replace. >> i think bob's gift is what he's able to do in terms of touching people, reaching people and getting them to do what needs to be done for the good of the team. >> the human touch, the interpersonal communication is what -- i don't think anyone can replace that and it doesn't mean that this franchise is spiraling downhill by any means, but it's just someone that you simply can't replace. >> you can listen to the dubs talk podcast any time wherever you get your podcasts. myers certainly will be missed. i think he wants to devote a little more time to his family. he got teary-eyed talking about it. >> they say change is good, so hopefully this is good to

continue that legacy, that dynasty we have going on. a lot of kids are going to be on break pretty soon. summertime right around the corner. >> it doesn't feel like it because it hasn't been pool weather, i know a lot of the pools are opening, but it's been too chilly, especially in the evenings. it's been comfortable for a lot of outdoor activities, including going for a jog. let's get a look at your forecast in palo alto, starting out at 52 degrees, we'll be at 56 at 8:00, about the time you'll be heading out. we'll continue to see more sun as we go toward late morning into the afternoon. the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen as we check out our giants forecast for today. middle afternoon game or early afternoon game, and we're going to see not only this game going on, but right across the bay the a's game going on at the same time. it's going to be 60 degrees and windy and also very busy for the lunch hour. you might want to make sure you

few days, friday and sunday it's going to feel like summer, but it will be the first weekend in june, and reaching into the low to mid-80s in the inland valleys, but not as much of a change for san francisco with upper 60s for the weekend. cinthia, do you have better news for people driving in fremont? >> i sure do. we're finally moving this crash in fremont from southbound 880 around the auto mall parkway off to the side. we can see the sensors changing from red to orange, and another place where we have a buildup is on the bay bridge. the metering lights were turned on just about ten minutes ago but this buildup has me wondering if something is happening on the fremont off-ramp exit. i'll check and be back with an update in a little bit. happening now, after more than 60 years in business, pacifica's sea bowl is closing its doors today. in a letter sent to the community, the owner said it was a difficult decision, but they're ready to start a new

now weighing passengers on international flights. listen closely. the airline says that it is doing so to better distribute the weight across that aircraft, and knowing the plane's weight is really the key to calculating fuel consumption. >> so they're going to collect a fairly large number of passengers as they board, they'll weigh them, that will go into a database, and then they'll be able to determine what is an appropriate and average weight for people with their carry-on bags and everything else. >> it will not be viewable by the security agent or passengers. >> you're taking off your belt and shoes. take a look at this. a patient but persistent raccoon has no idea what kind of hit it is on social media.

sacred symbol to indigenous tribes. but contrary to one rumor spreading online, the bison you see there is a white bison, not an albino bison. so park rangers say the calf comes from a white heiffer brought there and the fur comes from generations of cross-breeding with one type of white cattle. so it's not albino. >> it's adorable. >> so cute. i want to tell you about something else. free burritos, how does that sound? the upcoming final has a lot for basketball fans to be excited about. chipotle might have your game time snack covered. for over three-pointer made during the finals, chipotle will hand out 300 free entrees, the first 300 fans to text 888222 after each three-pointer will win and that's for each game.
