concerns in san jose. >> unusual slowing, an area you can't drive. north 880 there was fire activity. i think they just cleared the crews. that means the fire is gone, so is the smoke and distraction. the build is still going on for north 101 approaching 880. then this major surface street, meridian just south of 85, meridian is closed for a portion down toward redman. you see a slower traffic flow getting back onto coleman. there was a deadly crash early this morning. the police investigation continues. we of course have the build at the bay bridge. >> thank you very much. 6:02 right now. today marks one agonizing year for the family of a san jose safeway worker who was shot and killed while on the job. family, friends and co-workers will honor his life by demanding answers this morning. kris sanchez joins us from san

jose with more on what they want to see. >> reporter: they definitely want to see some change. they want people to feel safer when they are at work and feel safer when they're doing everyday things like shopping for food for their families. they would really like to see an assembly bill get through that would require stores like safeway, walgreens, home depot and such, to have armed security on the premises so that people can go about doing their jobs. the goal was to meet here this morning, and we see a handful of folks have just started to gather around the tree where man well huizar was shot and killed. yesterday his friends and family guard at a nearby park. he was just 24 years old when he confronted an 18-year-old man who was allegedly stealing alcohol from the store. [ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: now, safeway did make some changes at a different

store. we also talked with his mother. she said that this has been a really difficult year for their whole family. they feel like their heart was just ripped out. she does take small comfort in the fact that san jose police did make an arrest in her son's killing. he will be tried for huizar's murder. his next court date is july 28th. his mother's wish is for an end to this kind of violence. safeway did make changes at a different store about four miles away from here in order to deter shoplifting, like putting in one-way entry and exits and gates near self checkouts. now, retail theft also cost a home depot worker in pleasanton his life, 16-year-old blake mohs was working as a loss prevention worker when he was shot by a

woman allegedly shoplifting. after gathering, huizar's friends, family, colleagues, plan to go to oak hill cemetery to remember his passing, celebrate him. they are pushing for some sort of legislative change that will require stores to do things like provide more security for their employees and their customers. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> big loss for that family. thanks for the latest, kris. 6:04 right now. the search is on for the driver in a street racing hit-and-run crash. it happened yesterday at 17th and franklin in oakland. this is video from the citizens app. officers say two cars racing in that area before the crash, one lost control, grazed a fire hydrant and slammed into that building. the driver ran away from the scene before officers could arrive. there's no word of any injuries.

we are following breaking news out of ukraine where moscow officials say ukraine is launching a significant defense attack against russian forces. russia says the attack started late last night at five areas in eastern ukraine. it's not clear if this marked the beginning of the major counteroffensive that kyiv has been preparing to reclaim occupied land. kyiv is not confirming or denying those claims so far. turning to decision 2024, and a busy week ahead. the list of candidates running for president is expected to expand, both former vice president mike pence and former new jersey governor chris christie are set to formally announce their run. brie jackson is live in washington this morning watching all of this for us. brie, this is certainly early in the campaign season, but things are certainly getting under way. >> reporter: that's right. good morning, marcus. the republican primary field continues to grow, just over seven months until the first contest.

and over the weekend many of the republican hopefuls were in iowa for the roast and ride. it's an event held by senator joni ernst and it's an opportunity for the candidates to get in front of voters in a key battleground state. the 2024 presidential race taking shape. during a cnn town hall, former u.n. ambassador nikki haley making her pitch to voters. >> americans are tired. they want to see a government work for them again, they want to see results happen. haley was among republican candidates campaigning in iowa over the weekend. >> i was raised by a single mother in poverty, my mom worked 16-hour days to keep food on the table and the lights on. >> i think american decline is a choice and i'm running for president because i think if we choose another path, we can restore american greatness. >> this is the first occasion,

really, to talk about my background, experience, vision for america. >> reporter: a notable no-show at the event, current republican frontrunner former president trump. his old running mate, mike pence, is expected to announce his candidacy this week. as is, former new jersey governor chris christie. >> he doesn't have a base at this point. a lot could change. >> reporter: a growing list of republicans looking to take over president biden's job. >> they are hungry for a change and all of these candidates presented an exceptional pathway to the white house in 2024. >> reporter: president biden making the case that there's still more work for his administration to do in a second term, and touting successes, including the bipartisan budget agreements he signed over the weekend to prevent a first-ever government default. the first republican presidential primary is now set

for august 23rd in milwaukee, wisconsin. >> with the list of those names there as potential candidates and candidates, certainly they're going to need stamina. a lot of big names there. thanks so much, brie. 6:08 right now. apple's worldwide developers conference is getting under way this morning in san francisco. scott mcgrew is covering it all. the big talk is the vr headset. >> this will be the first new product from apple since the apple watch, so it may be some time before it's available in stores and it may be some time before you really want one. let me be clear about this video. this is not -- we don't have some exclusive scoop. this is not the apple vr headset because we haven't seen it yet. this was made by oculus. no one really wanted to buy this. one of the big problems apple is going to need to solve is finding some reason for people to want these things. a killer app that you buy the hardware specifically so you can use some kind of game or app,

which is why they're showing it off first at the developers conference, because developers make games, they make apps, they're going to hand them this. >> here is this amazing thing. >> what could you do with this to impress us so that people will buy it? >> it's going to be expensive. >> yeah, $3,000 is what we're hearing. the two assumptions is that prices will come down and they'll be able to do something. this is ios 17. that will be shown off at the worldwide developers conference as well. this is the new software for your phone. this will be free. we'll learn about some of the features that we see on that as well. >> very cool. some great possibilities there. >> we'll show it to you at 11:00 a.m. >> we'll look forward to that. the script writers could expect some protests out there as well. >> they probably will. you've got no more "ted lasso," but there are more things to write and they will take this

opportunity, all the attention on apple, to maybe protest -- they can't get very close to the actual apple center there in cupertino but they might protest at apple stores. >> we just think of the product so much. >> they've got a huge scripted television. >> join us for midday as well. . let's take a look at walnut creek. the sun is coming up and it's looking nice for a monday morning. meteorologist kari hall has information for us, because sunny days may be ahead, but also rain as well. >> we've got a little of it all. we were looking at the richmond-san rafael bridge. in san jose we're seeing clouds rolling by and making it into the bay area. we have some very unusual weather coming in. we've seen a lot of showers and thunderstorms over the sierra. we're going to have a chance of rain as well. it could start as early as this

evening for parts of the north bay, as we see some of those weakening thunderstorms moving in. we'll also have a slight chance of thunderstorms between tonight and off and on throughout the day tomorrow, and it's showing decent amounts of rainfall for some parts of the bay area, especially where we get heavier downpours concentrated. we could see anywhere from a few hundredths of an inch of rain to possibly close to a quarter. so we'll be watching that. mike has a look at where we can find lower gas prices. >> with the help of our gas buddies. our low is marin county, mill valley $4.11 at the arco on redwood highway. next is $4.19, the best price in santa clara. we're looking at the costco on coleman avenue. in san ramon the cheapest we can get is $4.49. we'll point out the safeway on bollinger canyon road.

slowing drives on highway 4, 37, typical there. but it's eastbound highway 4, a bit slow around port chicago. no reports of anything going on, but we'll track that. in general you have your typical commute routes showing a typical monday slowing. timing for vasco, just under a half hour. highway 4, definitely slowing. back to you. >> thanks, mike. the first day on the job, twitter's new ceo is set to start her new role. ahead on "today in the bay," the uphill challenges she faces. >> also, prince harry taking on the tabloids over an alleged phone hacking. how soon we can expect the royal to t take the standnd in court.. >> plus s -- >> thihis is the besest day eve >> it t is the best daday eveve >> s so was y yesterday and tomw and e every day from now u unti forever. >> barbibie loves pinink. thee worldwidede shortagee t thm has caused w when it comeses to someththing in particulalar.

good monday morning. the time now is 6:16 as you're heading out on the peninsula. we're seeing temperatures in belmont in the mid-50s and it's a cloudy start. we'll see the sun peeking out every now and then, but staying mostly cloudy today. our temperatures much cooler, but we're also watching out for a chance of rain.

a look at all of the microclimates and the timeline of the rain and potential thunderstorms coming up. here is some haze on the peninsula. palo alto a little farther south, traffic getting more volume. headlights heading north toward san francisco. this side of the bay is looking great. the east bay shows typical slowing. we'll show you how that's developing coming up. happy monday to you. markets had their best week since march last week, big rally. allstate says it's not going to issue new insurance policies for california homeowners because of fire risk. state farm did the same thing last month. we talked about apple's worldwide developers conference at the top of the hour. twitter's new ceo, former nbc executive linda yaccarino, starts work this morning. we'll keep an eye on that. elon musk has already said he'll remain in charge of software and product, which is most of twitter.

we're going to try to see how much power she really has. >> the bond market will be very busy today. the first business day after president biden signed the debt ceiling into law. that allows the u.s. government to issue more debt, raising money through the sale of securities. and there's only so much money out there, right? so the government will be competing with the stock market trying to attract investors. government bonds may not pay as well as stock shares, but they're dependable. do you know why? because the government doesn't default. the stock market rallied friday after we got the way bigger than expected jobs number. the economy continues to grow but there is a section of data we're worried about. >> the unemployment report, interestingly, tracks employment by race, and we saw no change in unemployment, all groups had no change in unemployment except for two, and that was blacks and hispanics. they had a rise in unemployment. >> the other thing we're very

aware of, if you break it down, this report doesn't do it, but you can break it down by state. california is definitely lagging. we have a very high unemployment rate compared to the rest of the united states. but when you look at it broadly instead of the local forecast, you look at the climate, things are going pretty well. that was a big jobs number and the economy continues to be very strong. >> thanks, scott. well, trending this morning, prince harry was a no-show in london at the courtroom in a major lawsuit against a british tabloid. the prince is expected to testify tomorrow. the case alleged that tabloid publishers snoopd on prince harry by hacking his phone. his lawyer said he couldn't testify today because he was flying from los angeles after his daughter's birthday.

trending this morning, the world is running out of pink paint. >> yes. can you believe it? and guess why. specifically the barbie pink shade. they say it's because of the upcoming movie. >> hi, barbie! >> hi, ken. ♪♪ >> hi, barbie. >> hi, barbie. >> the movie production team says it couldn't get enough of that pink shade and it led to an international shortage during the filming of the film, which happened to be amid the pandemic. so what was painted pink on set, the cars the characters drive, the roads, the lampposts, all pink. even the floors were painted pink. the movie hits theatres on july 21st. a certain kind of bubble gum

pink. >> it is specific. >> can't you get a little red and white and mix your own? >> someone didn't do the color wheel. the weather looks really nice out there and i would say it's perfect for getting out there before the rain comes in. because we have a lot of changes coming our way. let's get a look at your hiking forecast, enjoying some of the cooler weather coming in. it's not going to be in the 80s and 90s, we're going from mid-50s to about 68 degrees at 11:00, and 71 degrees at 3:00 today. we're also going to see more clouds coming in. our temperatures in dublin reaching 77. 71 in napa. remember how hot it was just a couple days ago? big changes because we're seeing a storm system and a cold front coming in, and tomorrow we'll still see those 60s near the coast and the inner bay. we're only in the mid-70s inland. so every day recently we've seen storms developing over the

sierra and it's also produced a lot of lightning. we're about to see some of that energy making its way closer to the bay area as it meets up with a low coming up the coast and it's going to draw that in. as we go into late this evening, rain chances coming in. so we're starting at about 6:00 to 7:00 this evening, it could be approaching the north bay. and we could also see some lightning in there as well. so we could also see during the overnight hours some off and on showers. this is just not what we typically see in june, even with the rain chances. usually we see the rain drying up before it gets here. that will not be the case tomorrow. at 9:00 we could see widespread showers, even some bouts of heavy downpours, then more coming in late tomorrow evening. the next 24 to 36 hours is looking really interesting here. we could see anywhere from a few hundredths of an inch of rainfall to possibly a quarter

inch of rain, just depending on where the heavier rain decides to move through. we'll see a big drop in temperatures. we're normally in the mid to upper 70s, talking about 60s here in santa rosa going through at least the next week. some of our warmer spots will reach into the low to mid-70s over the next few days. we'll keep you updated on storm chances in the forecast as we go into tomorrow. mike, you've been taking a peek at the nimitz. what's going on? >> wanted to see the level of traffic and it's actually really nice right now. pleasant start to monday. kari is talking about some unusual changes for the weather. so we'll watch for tomorrow morning, there may be an issue. make sure you check those wipers and the condition of those tires. a smooth build on the eastshore freeway, the bay bridge, and also highway 37, highway 4 showing an unusual slowing eastbound around port chicago

highway. no other real surprises, though. back to you. 6:23 right now. everything old is new again, as one bay area rock station is making some big changes. coming up next on "today in the bay," the station taking its bay," the station taking its current ai model off pause.

105.3 fm is going back to its original name and original rock format. it debuted with deejays playing david bowie, the cure, along with dance music. listeners were stunned in 2021 when the owner switched to an ai model named dave, which played random top 40 songs. among those looking forward to the switchback is a san francisco state student who grew up listening to live 105. >> it makes me super happy because it's honestly kind of sad to see ai and computers kind of take control of everything, and also it just makes the listener's experience a lot more enjoyable. i think a lot of people like the relatability of having an actual voice on the other end at the station. >> and a voice you'll know, even bringing back the station's long-time music director.

>> you mentioned a chance of lightning, and usually when we say lightning in june, that increases the fire threat. but we've had so many rainfall over the winter there's still enough soil moisture and vegetation moisture, we're not looking at a high amount of fire threat. and this is coming along with rain, so we could see showers possible as we go into this evening, into the day tomorrow as we also will have that chance of thunderstorms, gusty winds and hail. it's really been lit up over the sierra with all kinds of showers and thunderstorms each and every afternoon, and now we're seeing this energy starting to make its way closer to the bay area, as it gets drawn into a low that's moving up the coastline. so i'll have more on the timeline and what we can expect as this comes in. that's coming up in the microclimate forecast. new overnight, a motorcycle driver dead following a crash in contra costa county. it happened about 9:00 last night in clayton on marsh creek road. the chp closed marsh creek road

in both directions for more than two hours while they investigated. the road is back open but there's still no word on what led up to the crash. the political fight over immigration is taking another turn after 16 migrants were flown and left in sacramento late last week. "today in the bay"'s bob redell is joining us live now. bob, i know the state of california investigating what role florida might have had in this. >> reporter: correct, marcus. florida governor ron desantis has dumped migrants before, that was in martha's vineyard. california governor gavin newsom and attorney general rob bonta believe that -- >> bob was telling us about the sunshine state being behind the flight that flew 16 migrants to california, sacramento. we're going to work on getting him back in just a moment. turning now to a follow-up on a police chase in contra costa county, which actually ended with a fiery crash near a

starbucks. now, it all happened near danville. it actually sent five people to the hospital. it happened in danville, as i mentioned. it started with a police chase with danville police, after a driver ran a stoplight. the driver didn't stop. about five miles later at the intersection of camino tassajara the car ran a second red light and hit another car. it rolled over and caught fire. five people inside were rescued and rushed to the hospital. witnesses say they saw the whole thing unfold. >> i just hope that everybody was okay. at the end of the day, that's all you can really hope for. >> all five people taken to the hospital, as i mentioned. the driver of the car suffered serious injury. new details this morning, police have arrested a woman they say is responsible for hitting and killing a man. it happened in vallejo on saturday afternoon near donna court and echo summit road in

vallejo. this is about three miles from six flags discovery kingdom. the man was taken to the hospital where he later died. police arrested the woman you see here on the scene of the homicide, however police are not yet revealing a motive. happening today, the suspected driver in a deadly south bay hit-and-run is due in court for a preliminary hearing. in late march police arrested 27-year-old sylvia, accused of killing a woman who was hit along with her 11-year-old daughter and family dog. it happened at a crosswalk in san jose. the daughter suffered minor injuries. police say license plate cameras led them to the car. 6:35 right now and today marks the official start of fire season already in santa rosa, and this means the city's weed abatement ordinance will kick

into effect. >> ginger conejero saab is joining us now. ginger, more steps need to be taken in this situation. >> reporter: that's right. it's a constant conversation, marcus and laura. we're already seeing brush fires pop up in other places of the bay area. it's a clear reminder where weed abatement and other fire prevention measures are so important. take a look at a time lapse video of a brush fire that broke out yesterday afternoon in concord. it was a fire on kirker pass road near hess. firefighters worked quickly. the flames burned about seven acres before it was contained. weed abatement and other vegetation management are part of the defensible space initiative in contra costa county. weed abatement ordinance officially goes into effect today. that means property owners will need to cut weeds and grass down to less than 4 inches in height and maintain that throughout fire season. the new rule applies to properties located in the wildland urban interface area,

developed parcels having half an acre of undeveloped land. it also includes vacant lots. those who don't comply may be fined. speaking of the ongoing conversation about our wildfire season in california, we're hearing insurance companies say they're stopping new applications or they're no longer accepting new application to say cover homes because of wildfire risks. so this is kind of another step, another obstacle that people in those high-risk areas are going to face. it's also a great time to remind people to put together a fire exit plan because those are also hurdles. >> sadly, it's needed. it's interesting, state farm last week dropping out and then a lot of insurance companies as well, if you've got a shingle roof, you've got to replace them. because of the liability there if that catches fire. >> allstate joining in that conversation. >> a lot of concerns, and concerns with the weather because lightning today. >> we were talking about the potential of lightning coming in

later this evening and into the day tomorrow. usually in june when we talk about lightning storms, the rain dries up before it gets here. that may not be the case this time around. we've seen a lot of lightning over the sierra and we're going to see another system that's going to interact with that and bring some rain and the potential of thunderstorms into the bay area for tomorrow. so we're going to start to see rain moving in late this evening, but there's still that chance that we could see enough energy here for thunderstorms to develop as we go into tonight, off and on some waves of rain and potentially some thunderstorms, especially late tomorrow morning. by 9:00 we're seeing a pretty good coverage and we're also going to see maybe some rumble of thunder with some breaks, even another wave coming in late tomorrow evening. so a lot to watch out for here. we'll talk about how much rain we may see in a few minutes. this is a reminder that you can keep tabs on the weather where you are, even when we're not on the air. download our free nbc bay area

app and type in your zip code to get a customized forecast for your neighborhood. you also get traffic alerts. do you have good news at the bay bridge? >> we have good news. it's all relative. we see movement, good movement at the bay bridge. sometimes things -- you can't tell, but that's a great start. the build at the richmond bridge heading toward san rafael. no surprises, slowing into richmond and slowing through berkeley. highway 4, we do have a typical westbound commute but eastbound we have slowing around port chicago highway that's been sticking around. no incidents reported and no crews are supposed to be in the area. just a short one there. looking ahead, we'll have slowing and possibly some bigger slowing than we see right now because of tree trimming going on southbound 680 during the day, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. that's going to continue for this stretch toward pleasanton and toward sunol. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive.

right now we're looking at the build that's going to start 101 and 87 will follow, feeding out of san martin and morgan hill. >> thanks so much. 6:39 right now. this morning we're learning new details about a install plane crash in virginia after it flew over washington, d.c., sending fighter jets scrambling. ahead on "today in the bay," the investigation under way and what we're learning about who was onboard. >> and potentially three more hats in the ring in the presidential race this week. out to the big board, there's a market that really can't decide what to do. breaking even this morning. >> scott, that clock is ticking when it comes to the fate of the a's. the action that must be taken today in order to get that team to move to las vegas. >> and would you eat this t rex if they were still around today? probably thinking no. but the internet actually has a different idea. the prehistoric debate brewing online. keep it here.

good monday morning. it is 6:43 right now. we're heading out the door in morgan hill. across the bay area we're seeing temperatures in the mid-50s. we'll see the sun peeking out and morgan hill, definitely a cooler day compared to the weekend. we're going to stay in the 60s and low 70s this afternoon. and we're also bracing for rain. we'll talk about that timeline coming up. palo alto, 101, you're

glowing. a beautiful morning starting. kari is talking about changes. we've got some slowing instead of growing across the san mateo bridge which i will show you coming up. the search for four people onboard a plane that crashed in southwest virginia has been suspended. this all started yesterday when fire pilots were called after a plane went off course and appeared to be heading to d.c. the flight route of the plane indicated it was headed to long island from tennessee. many people who live in the area heard the fighter jets being scrambled. you heard it right there. the national guard says the jet tried to contact the plane, but the pilot had passed out. that plane is registered to a florida businessman who told nbc news his daughter, granddaughter, and their nanny, were onboard that plane along with the pilot. >> back to the story we were covering at the top of the newscast, the political fight over immigration is taking

another turn. it comes after 16 migrants were flown and left in sacramento late last week. florida governor ron desantis has dumped migrants in martha's vineyard before. governor gavin newsom and attorney general rob bonta believe the sunshine state was behind the flight that flew 16 migrants to california on friday and left them outside a church in sacramento. the 16 people are from venezuela and colombia, including four women and an 18-year-old. they've reportedly been through months of trauma, walking to the texas border where they were duped into thinking they would have jobs waiting for them if they boarded a private plane. yesterday on cnn, attorney general bonta suggested ron desantis used them as a pawn to score points in the fight against immigration.

>> the reality that they were lied to, but like i said, i find them to be so hopeful for the way that sacramento has received them. >> they were manipulated, mistreated. they were abused and exploited. >> immigration officials have already processed the migrants and given them court dates for their asylum case. a quarter until 7:00 right now. president biden is about to have a lot more competitors. >> scott mcgrew is joining us. three new candidates for president expected to join the race this week. >> yeah, three of them. that's a lot in one week, all on the republican side. that side is getting very crowded. christie, pence and bergam. you're saying i've heard of two-thirds of those people. chris christie the former governor of new jersey, a trump ally at first but no longer. former federal prosecutor as

well. he's expected to announce tomorrow. mike pence, the former vice president under trump, expected to announce wednesday. he has a town hall on cnn shortly thereafter. and then on the right, north dakota governor doug bergam, a software millionaire. he can afford to get his message on his own without having to depend on donors. now, one way of interpreting this news that there are three brand new candidates this week is that none of them are afraid of florida governor ron desantis, who announced his candidacy in a botched twitter announcement may 25th. their biggest competitor in the race is trump. there's news about him, too. the grand jury investigating his possession of classified documents is reportedly meeting again this week. nikki haley, also a candidate for president, will be at a silicon valley big ticket fundraiser next week. she did a cnn town hall over the weekend. she tried to separate herself

from other candidates on ukraine. she supports ukraine. desantis has dismissed ukraine as a regional conflict. trump has often hinted he would side with the russians. >> what we need to understand is that ukraine has the ability to win, but we have to think bigger than that. and for them to sit there and say this is a territorial dispute, that's just not the case. to say that we should stay neutral. it is in the best interest of america, it's in the best interest of our national security for ukraine to win. we have to see this through, we have to finish it. >> haley also railed against critical race theory, claiming it was taught to kindergartners. it is not. president biden's strategy seems to be just being president, which is one of the key advantages to being the incumbent. over the weekend, the president signed the bipartisan debt ceiling into law, praising both sides for coming together as americans. the stock market today largely neutral, which is a nice change. >> thanks so much, scott.

a big announcement could come today in oakland as the a's quest to move to las vegas and it is the last day nevada lawmakers are in session before they adjourn. there is still a key decision to be made, whether the state officials are willing to fund that move. last month the a's agreed in principle to a deal that the state would allocate about $380 million in public funding to help build a new ballpark. however, that still has to be voted on by lawmakers and as part of the state's budget. the a's lease on the coliseum expires at the end of next year and one week from tomorrow a's fans are set to host a reverse boycott to urge the owner, john fisher, to sell the team. trending this morning, peta's push for people to not eat chicken is backfiring. >> this week for dinosaur day, peta tweeted out saying think twice before ordering that

chicken sandwich. t-rex wouldn't approve of you eating their descendants. if you wouldn't eat a t-rex, don't eat a chicken. that tweet sent twitter users in a frenzy. many people started trolling saying they would love to try t-rex, some posting pictures of their cooked chicken pretending it was t-rex meat. it didn't go off as they planned. >> my daughter eats those chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs and those are the only ones she'll eat. >> more historically accurate than we thought. brontosaurus burgers, the flintstones use to eat those. >> go back in time. >> i don't think that's what they intended. >> probably not. let's get started this morning. we have a lot of changes as you get this workweek going.

first week in june and our weather is not going to be anything like what we typically see. in fact, it's going to be much cooler than yesterday and our temperatures will head for the mid-70s for the south bay, upper 70s for the inland east bay, even some lower 70s from napa to santa rosa, while san francisco is still not seeing as much of a change in those temperatures. we're headed back to the mid-60s today and even cooler for the inland valleys as we get a system coming in. that could bring us some rain. we are talking about rain in june. and usually when we see this kind of weather setup, where we see those thunderstorms and the surge in moisture, the moisture really dries up before it gets here. we could still be left with lightning. this time around it looks like we could see thunderstorms that hold it together all the way across the sierra into the central valley and moving into the bay area. and what's happening here is we're seeing a low coming up the coast that's going to draw that in. so as we go into this evening,

we're looking at the possibility of some showers and thunderstorms moving from the sacramento valley into the north bay and then some showers moving into the tri-valley, into the south bay later this evening. it's going to be off and on in terms of the rain, but we could really start to see things picking up by tomorrow morning, with possibly heavy rain that's going to be moving in for 9:00 to 10:00 tomorrow morning. and then we get a bit of a break for late morning into the early afternoon, and then there may be one last wave coming in tomorrow evening. now, some of our models are putting down the possibility that we could see anywhere from a few hundredths of an inch of rain to possibly a tenth, to maybe even a quarter inch of rainfall, with higher amounts of rainfall just depending on where some of those heavier cells pass by. not only that, but we're going to see a significant drop in temperatures. santa rosa is going into highs in the upper 60s, low 70s to mostly 60s throughout the rest

of the week into next week. so no more warmups like we had over the weekend for quite a while. and we're also going to be seeing such changeable weather that we'll have to keep you up to date minute by-minute. if you have the app, you'll get alerts as the rain is moving in. mike, time to check the windshield wipers and tires for rain. >> that's right. we're looking at changes over in the weather and on the roadways as well. this is predictable. sensors slowing a bit, showing more backup on the richmond bridge. holding steady for bay bridge and the rest. traffic on the dumbarton bridge. it's easing up now. we see a pleasant, smooth drive. not a lot of brake lights but there are a lot of vehicles filling in the lanes. so the commute is kicking in just before 7:00, we traditionally see that across the san mateo bridge. in the south bay, 85 showing low

slower spots, 87 starting to slow down. same thing for 101, building here at capitol and old oakland road and by the airport. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. it is 6:53. today is national hiv long-term survivors day. bay area activists will rally and march in san francisco to demand additional city investments in critical issues affecting lgbtq+ communities. they'll march from market street to city hall and hold a rally on the steps of city hall. the march will start at 12:30 this afternoon. a look at the top stories, including one year after a san jose safeway employee was shot and killed, family and friends coming together to pay tribute. the remembrance under way and the changes the store is making. >> first, here is hoda. >> coming up on "today," an exclusive live interview with
