rain across the region. some of the rain gets close to the bay area, so we are watching out for a chance of a very quick pop-up shower, and more clouds for the weekend and that will bring down the temperatures a few degrees. take a look at livermore. one of the spots where in june we are usually seeing hot weather, but we don't have that anytime soon. we are going to stay in the 70s here through at least tuesday, and then only low 80s for next weekend. our 7-day forecast shows a mostly cloudy weekend. once again, a slight chance of rain on sunday and monday. clearing out for the middle of next week, and for san francisco, expect the temperatures to be a little cooler for the weekend, so you do need jackets for festivals and the games and we will have a wrap-up for some events going on around the bay area, and that's coming up in about 10 to 15 minutes. mike, you are seeing a

welcome back. you are watching "today in the bay." here's a live look at sfo. if you ever thought the time you have between connections in a place like l.a. or phoenix were fight, there's a reason the airlines set it up that way, and it's called the minimum connection time. it's the shortest time needed for passengers to transfer between flights. mct was created on a variety of factors, like distance between gates and time of day. the average time is 40 minutes, and airlines are not willing to

compromise on that number. >> airlines won't book you on a ticket that has a less than minimum connection time, so the time that you have on that ticket you are purchasing, it might seem quick to you, just know that it is within that threshold. >> there's a loophole if you want. passengers can book two separate tickets for half of their connections and the minimum connection will not apply but it may cost more. 5:24 right now. the eiffel tower is an iconic feature of paris. we all know that. next year when the summer olympics are in france it will be a centerpiece for the games. preparations are under way. nbc's keir simmons is taking a peek into what it takes to get ready. >> reporter: good morning from paris. we have just over a year to go before the olympics. coming up on "today," we have special, exclusive access to the eiffel tower.

informing him of the next step in the process means prosecutors believe he committed a crime. last year the fbi searched trump's home and found more than 180 documents marked classified. president trump has denied any wrong doing. governor newsom is proposing a historic 28th amendment in the constitution aimed at ending gun violence. that's according to something sent out moments ago. it would bar the civilian purchase of assault weapons. there will be more on that announcement coming up at 6:00 on "today in the bay." later today the supreme court is set to announce a series of decisions and one could be the fate of president

look at lake orville, now completely full. trinity lake goes up as the sierra snow-melt continues, so we will continue to see the reservoir levels still rising even though we have not seen a lot of rain here recently. our temperatures reaching into the upper 70s for our inland east bay as well as the south bay today, reaching 77 in concord. 73 in napa, and san mateo reaching 69 degrees. comfortable weather, but it could be cooler tomorrow with clouds coming in. we will enjoy the sunshine today because there will be disturbances nearby that will keep it cloudy throughout the weekend, and we could see a slight chance of showers sunday towards monday as an active weather pattern continues across the region. as far as temperatures, it will take a while before it starts to feel like summer around the bay area. brentwood, one of our usual hot

spots will be in the 70s and 80s, and next week we will reach into the 80s and we will have swimming weather then, but until then we are looking at the 70s in the forecast for a lot of the inland areas. we will see a mostly cloudy weekend which will bring the temperatures down in san francisco as well as the bay area beaches. mike, you were talking about a slow drive through berkeley? >> yeah, it's lighter at the bay bridge, and we will show you that in a second. i did want to call out highway 37. that earlier car fire has not caused any slowing or a real disturbance. highway 4 lighter. this is thursday, so yesterday would have seen a heavier volume, but many families are taking vacations. i forgot this was going to

happen today, this is closed for work and that's shifting people towards university, and once you past university everything lightens up. the backup just forming at the bay bridge. the lights were turned on at 5:40. we are seeing a build not out of the maze but the altamont pass. overall, it's moving great. vasco where we see the typical slowing, and it's over a half hour to marsh creek, and there's a fire in discovery bay. the rest of the tri-valley showing an easy drive. north 101, just a little traditional slowing there north of 880 and oakland road. we are approaching 6:00, and that should clear a bit.

already burned there, and tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from northern quebec. and flights in laguardia were canceled. >> i'm not going anywhere. i was supposed to teach in manhattan, and it dependant seem worth it today, especially with a baby on the way. >> there are things that people there can do in those hazardous conditions like checking the air quality alerts regularly, and running the filtration unit if you have one and limiting time outdoors. people going from the bay area, if you must go there, wear a mask to keep the small particles out. we take a look at where we see purple sensors.

that's the most unhealthy air quality. we are seeing that moving into parts of pennsylvania this morning and approaching that new york city area, also down towards washington, d.c., so that's where we are seeing the worst of it as of right now. we will continue to track these concerning conditions on the east coast. head over to our website, nbcbayarea.com, and also find out more in the flashback that we have on the climate crisis tab. >> that is so true. thanks a lot, kari. one of the country's largest restaurants is ready to reopen, this time with serious star power. >> they are getting ready to bring in back in. when fate meant casa bonita would face bankruptcy and close,
