the low 70s. lots of sunshine and it's going to warm up quickly, so get hydrated before those temperatures warm up for the afternoon. here is a look at all of our microclimates and what to expect with our high temperatures in the south bay. it's going to be in the mid-70s. the peninsula reaching 72, the tri-valley headed for 87. there's still some warm areas, but the fog and drizzle keeps san francisco in the mid-60s while the north bay will hit 80 degrees. we'll talk about the rest of the forecast in a few minutes. >> thank you. that breaking news this morning coming out of philadelphia where five people are dead in a shooting rampage. police have apprehended the gunman. authorities discovered the fifth victim overnight. this is inside of a home. the shooting took place across several blocks within the southwestern part of that area. now, police say the gunman wore a bulletproof vest and shot at victims randomly. two injured, just 13 and 2 years

old. responders there, those officers managed to subdue the suspect in an alley. so far he's only being identified as a 40-year-old man. the police commissioner says another man is also being detained. >> at some point as victims were being shot, we have another person that we believe acquired a gun somehow, don't know how, and picked up the gun and returned fire in the direction of the shooter that we have in custody. >> now, all five of the victims who died are men. again, so far investigators do not believe they had any prior connection with that shooter who they say was armed with an assault rifle. we will continue to follow updates out of philadelphia on this story. for the latest, you can also go 24 hours a day right there at nbcbayarea.com. new overnight, police in san jose are investigating an early-morning rollover crash that left a driver injured and several nearby cars damaged.

this happened a little after 3:00 this morning on coleman avenue south of paypal park. so far, no word on what happened or whether that driver was impaired. just into our newsroom, a power outage is impacting some 3,000 customers in the east bay in the area centered around pleasant hill. you'll see there on the map on your screen, it is unclear when power is going to be restored. this follows an outage that cut power for thousands of people sunday night in nearby orinda and walnut creek. those issues there have now been resolved. happening tonight, people will flock to san francisco's waterfront for one of the largest fireworks shows on the west coast. and as usual, that show will go on fog or not. >> "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live in san francisco, and later today, ginger, that is going to be crowded around fisherman's wharf and the area surrounding that. >> reporter: that's right, kris and marcus. people coming out to celebrate

the fourth of july, possibly at the pier, at the wharf, or if you have a rooftop you might get a great view of san francisco, maybe some fireworks. you might not if the fog doesn't let you. san francisco is home to one of the most spectacular fireworks shows in the region. crews were putting it together yesterday, assembling pieces on four large barges, and there were more than 10,000 pounds of fireworks materials. some of that will be used tonight in san francisco, other fireworks were used last night in richmond. tonight's sausalito and redwood city displays will also make use of fireworks materials. pat dyas oversees the production of the show and he says spectators are in for a real treat, fog or no fog. >> we try to put on beautiful, safe displays for people so they can satisfy that need for fireworks, celebrate our independence day like everyone wants to do, and keep their

fingers intact. >> reporter: now, speaking of safety, we chatted with tourists yesterday to get a feel for how safe they feel visiting san francisco in the middle of all the negative headlines about crime and a downtown business exodus. people we spoke to from different parts of the state and different parts of the country said they've read the stories, but they are here anyway looking to enjoy the city's pier as a top international tourist attraction. now, fireworks are illegal in san francisco, even the safe and sane ones. so if you are looking to enjoy a fireworks display, there's no other place to be than the pier, than the waterfront or wharf. the show starts at 9:30. it's free. only piece of advice we can share is layer up because you know how san francisco is, especially at 9:30 at night. marcus and kris. >> you're wearing wool in the city on the fourth of july. i think we get the picture.

thank you, ginger. in some cases fireworks are seen across the bay area. in richmond the return of the july 3rd tradition, the city's professional fireworks show, which entertained people guard at richmond bay marina park. the giants may have lost a close one to seattle last night, but fans stuck around for the show following the game there. both teams will be right back at it at 1:30 this afternoon at oracle. and if the san francisco giants can do it, so, too, can the san jose giants, the farm team in the south bay. last night they lit up the sky following the san jose giants game at excite ballpark. i've been to that. that is super cute. not all fireworks are being set off legally and that has a lot of first responders very concerned. >> the number of people using them cause a number of fires at the same time, which thins out our resources and makes us less capable of having a full effective response to individual

fires. >> firefighters are also worried that last winter's heavy rains mean a lot of underbrush that is growing pretty strong that could add to the potential danger this summer as well. so if you're still looking for something to do today or tonight, visit nbcbayarea.com for a complete guide to the parades, the fireworks shows and more. all of them happening across the bay area. there is a warning for pet owners ahead of tonight's fourth of july celebrations. fema says more pets are reported missing today and tomorrow than any other day of the year. they also list a bunch of tips to make sure pets are nice and secure. they say that includes providing a safe place indoors with plenty of water. also, using ambient noise like a tv to drown out some of the sounds of fireworks. if they do get lost, make sure that you have tags or microchips that are updated or just consider skipping the

celebrations altogether because your presence at home really can make a difference for those dogs. and make sure that you are distracting them with toys. >> not treats, though. cole is on a diet. he's deputy dolittle, he barks at everybody no matter what. he doesn't get like some dogs that are a nervous wreck, but he is patrolling the house. >> don't they have some of those things -- >> the thunder vest. yeah, he's okay. >> we're thinking about all of that, too. >> but he is micro chipped. >> that's another one of those tips. but it may be too late to get that done. we want to talk about the events going on around the bay area. we're seeing some low fog and clouds that are over san francisco, and that's going to maybe be over the city as we go into the afternoon. clearing up just temporarily for the middle of the day. then it rolls right back in for

this evening. it looks like at 4:00 it's nice and clear. okay, i might be able to see something. as the sun sets, the fog rolls in, and right at about 9:30. may be an issue. but of course we know just how it can change minute-by-minute. hopefully it is clear enough to see the fireworks tonight. as we look around the bay area and our high temperatures today, we're ranging from mid-60s near the coast to mid to upper 80s for the inland areas. look at novato today, reaching 79 degrees, hayward a high of 77, san jose reaching 84 degrees. pretty pleasant for many of us as we are also going to continue to get a cooldown heading into tomorrow, as well as the next few days. concord reaching 81 degrees tomorrow afternoon, and of course many people are heading back to work, but we're also seeing a lot of people extending that vacation. it's going to feel more like spring as we continue to see temperatures going downward for

thursday. only 62 in half moon bay and san jose reaching 77 degrees. so that's really cool for this time of year. but it's also going to be windy and we may see clouds linger a lot longer, especially near the coastline. now as we turn to our climate in crisis, we've had that fog and that breeze available to cool us off from this weekend's scorching temperatures. but there's a new study by climate central that says summer nights across the country have warmed up since 1970. and scientists say hot summer days, followed by very warm nights have become more frequent, causing nighttime average temperatures to be at about 60 degrees. now, warmer nights can affect our body's ability to cool off while we're trying to sleep and running the air conditioner means higher energy bills. with inflation, many can't afford to run air-conditioning, or many of us just don't have ac. now, for us now it's cooling down after this weekend's extreme heat, so we don't have to worry about this for now.

you can learn more in our climate in crisis by going to nbcbayarea.com and clicking on the climate in crisis tab. >> thanks, kari. so are you fed up with twitter? a lot of users are vowing to leave after elon musk's latest changes. still ahead, we have the new app trying to take over and meta's big reveal, no doubt, poised to spice up the competition. ♪♪♪ ♪♪ we'e'll take ththis way tooo♪ >> a and taylorr swift just wee away frorom h her b bay area s her tourur, a and justt likike competetition too get the tick there'ss likely goingng to be s compmpetition t to get intoo a clclass all a about t the p pop. we're going to break d down t t neww detailsls. keep i it rigight h here. much more ahead on this fouourt of j july. you'u're watching "today i in t babay."

>> it is called threads and it is set to launch thursday. according to early reviews, threads looks and feels pretty similar to twitter and it will be synced up with instagram. rumors surrounding the app first surfaced last month, but until last night meta had revealed few details. twitter founder jack dorsey responded to the news, tweeting all your threads belong to us, along with a screenshot of data. the app may be able to collect linking back to the user. elon musk responded to that tweet writing, yeah. so this all comes with more and more frustrated twitter users looking for alternatives after elon musk announced he's limiting how many tweets users can see each day. >> are people making the switch? "today in the bay"'s scott budman shows us the apps gaining new traction. >> reporter: this is blue sky, started by twitter cofounder jack dorsey, a twitter competitor that just saw its biggest user jump ever.

this is spill, started by two former twitter employees. its creators say they're pushing for more culture drivers and black creators to come on board. it reached number one on the apple app store. the reasons, twitter users are unhappy. >> maybe now is the time to come in and say, there is an alternative to the twitter platform. >> looking for alternatives after twitter owner, elon musk, announced a new daily limit on how many tweets users can see. it's frustrating, but for a site many use as a source for emergency information, it's also dangerous. >> if all of a sudden you've reached your limit and you can not see these things, it could be a huge disadvantage for people that actually need to have real information that makes a difference in their lives. >> reporter: so as instagram prepares to launch a twitter rival, some users say they're looking around. >> instagram or tiktok. >> how come?

>> it's just entertaining. it's easier to use. >> i like to scroll on the explore page and stuff. it's just an app where i can just do whatever i want. >> reporter: others say they'll stick with twitter, even amid the changes. >> you can definitely see the changes with elon. but with twitter, that was my go-to for news. >> reporter: scott budman, "today in the bay." >> there you have it. a long awaited bloom finally on display, and in the air, for that matter. the corpse flower or stinky flower at san francisco's conservatory of flowers has finally bloomed. we want to give you a live look this morning. the flower hit full bloom last night and was only going to last about 48 hours. so you still have some time to go out there and smell it in person, if you would like to. >> smell you later. >> it really does smell. general admission tickets are $20. children 4 and under, as well as

members of the park, actually get on for free. kari already said she's good with just looking at it. >> our producer when he was in santa cruz, the flower there, he could smell it down the street. let's talk about something trending this morning, the new course at stanford. it's behind the wildest dreams of a lot of taylor swift fans. >> i say, can you believe it? ♪♪ >> so the new class stanford is offering on taylor swift is called the last great american songwriter, and "the mercury news" reports the course is going to have a lot of competition to get in. the class will allow students to explore various areas of interest, but the class won't count toward students' gpas. stanford plans to offer the class this spring and it might be hard to get in.

swift will play levi's stadium on july 29th as part of her tour, and those tickets were even harder to get. >> the swifties want to talk about her for an hour. >> i'm wondering, you still have to pay for the class. it doesn't count toward your gpa. that's a lot of money. >> if you take so many classes, an extra class doesn't cost more. if you do 12 hours, another 3 hours -- i don't know. >> i don't know. i'm telling my kids, make it count. let's talk about that forecast. it looks good for the fourth of july. we're still seeing temperatures ranging from 60s to upper 80s, but that's our microclimates. we're starting out cool across the bay area, as you're getting ready to maybe marinade your food for the grill today, or getting the things packed up so you can line the parade routes, most of us are in the 50s as you get ready to head out the door. for the danville kiwanis parade,

at 9:00 it's only 59 degrees, and we see temperatures warming up slowly, but it will be a warm day as we head for the low 80s this afternoon. cooler temperatures at the marin county fair, but you may be going later this evening to get a spot for the fireworks show. it will be partly cloudy, but it looks like it's going to be nice at the time that the sun sets. a look around the bay area and our high temperatures for today, in the south bay we're seeing some clouds move in now, but it will clear out quickly. it will be breezy and 84 degrees for much of the peninsula, in the 70s today, morning clouds and warm temperatures in the tri-valley as we head for the upper 80s. for the east bay, mostly low 70s, while san francisco will see fog and drizzle at times, temperatures in the mid-60s. in the north bay reaching about 80 degrees. for santa rosa over the next several days, we'll go from nice and cool weather for the end of the week to a very mild weekend.

ahead, we will see some higher temperatures going towards the middle of next week. so we're going to enjoy this dip in temperatures that we'll see that will not at all be like what we usually see for early july. and our temperatures are going to reach into the upper 70s for the inland areas for the next several days. for san francisco, expect our highs to reach into the low 60s. let's get you ready for the morning commute. there really isn't much of one. across the bay area, looking at the san mateo bridge, a smooth flow of traffic, on 880 in oakland, not a lot of cars. all green sensors around the bay area. just a heads-up that b.a.r.t., as well as sfmta, is running a sunday schedule, same for vta. ac transit running a weekend schedule. make sure you check ahead for public transit. >> all smooth sailing until it's cookout time. coming up next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds.

okay, summertime is here and that means travel time for a lot of folks. and if you're flying any time soon, you may find a huge time and stress saver at your destination. >> not here, but outside the bay area some airports like lax are trying out a system that lets passengers pre-reserve a spot in the security line for free. consumer investigator chris chmura shows us how and where. >> the program we're talking about is called clear reserve, and it's your ticket to bypass the tsa line. you reserve a time slot in advance to clear airport security. when we made this video, clear reserve was available at these 18 airports. sorry, san francisco, bay area, no sfo, sjc or oakland yet. maybe you can reserve at your destination.

it's a company that sells a yearly membership for a quicker route through airport security at lots of airports. but clear reserve is separate. it's free. you reserve it one flight at a time and only at select airports. a clear rep told us the goal of free reserve lanes is to help minimize peak travel periods in the airport, which creates a better experience for all travelers, even those who don't use reserve. i used clear reserve recently in orlando. let me show you how easily it works. the day before my flight, i went to clearme.com. next i clicked for you at the top and then reserve. originally i tried to book seven days out, but it wouldn't let me and told me to check back close to my flight. the clear website says the booking window varies by location. the rest of the process only took about 90 seconds. i shared basic information like my name, my destination, flight number, and how many people were in my party. side note, ten is the max. next, clear asked me when i wanted to clear the checkpoint. i had a 6:00 a.m. flight, so i asked for a 5:00 a.m. slot.

within a few second, clear emailed me a qr code, my ticket to bypass the tsa line. on my travel day i showed my phone to a rep who directed me to the line. i was first in line, meanwhile, i would say about 200 people were in the regular tsa line. try to be punctual. clear says it only holds the reserve spots for 20 minutes after your reservation time. after that, you're back in the regular line. again, when we made this video, clear reserve was only available at these 18 airports. to see if it's available at your airport, check clearme.com or the airport's website. you can also ping the airport on social media. most are pretty good about responding to passengers. >> reporter: good morning. i'm bob redell with developing news in the south bay where an alleged drunk drive has been arrested after crashing his car into thatome right here in san h

details. new overnight, coming out of the south bay, police are investigating after a driver slammed their car into the front porch of a home in san jose. bob redell is live for us at the scene. walk us through what happened here. >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and kris. san jose police tell us that the driver who crashed into this home here in the downtown area of san jose is now under arrest, suspicion of driving under the influence. this is a home on south second street in hollywood avenue. it just happened a little after 11:30 last night. the driver of the red mustang crashed his car here. again, san jose police believe that he had been drinking, was under the influence. san jose fire did put him in a neck brace and transport him to the hospital. his hands were tied down on the gurney and was he was being wheeled, he tried to free himself from restraints. san jose police had to come in and assist.

again, he was taken to the hospital but san jose police have since told us that he is now in custody, again arrested on suspicion of dui. another example of why you should not drink and get behind the wheel. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. developing right now the search in the south bay continues for the fan who stabbed another fan inside a crowded levi's stadium during sunday's gold cup match between mexico and qatar, and a lot of fans have questions about stadium security. late last night police released these photos of two people, calling the man on your left-hand side of your screen the suspect, and the person on your right, the woman, a person of interest. videos of the chaos viral and fans are seen yelling and pushing before the bloody brawl breaks out. one woman tells us she and her family were terrified because the fight lasted about ten minutes and she says security was slow to respond. other fans also agreed that they don't believe levi's security

did perform at the same level as they do for 49ers games. >> security was lax, they were pushing people through too quickly because it was crowded and i think they just wanted people to get in. but it's scary. we have kids in the stands and how do we protect ourselves against someone who has a knife if it ever comes to that? >> in a joint statement, levi's and concacaf say ensuring the safety of guests is the highest priority, they are cooperating with local law enforcement and they wish the victim a swift recovery. new details for you, trustees are closer to finalizing plans to raise cal state tuition costs through a series of hikes over at least the next five years. so 23 school systems recently posted plans to raise funds starting in the fall of 2024. it calls for tuition to increase 6% each year through spring 2029. so far there's no guarantee the hikes will start then.

undergraduate costs would go from the current $5,700 per year to about $7,700 by the end of the decade. trustees will debate the proposal one week from today. and a developing story for you this morning, a new legal challenge to legacy admissions at harvard university. nonprofit lawyers for civil rights filed a complaint yesterday on behalf of black and latino groups in new england. so it claims legacy admissions discriminated against students of color by giving an unfair boost to mostly white children of former students. the practice is under new fire following the latest supreme court decision overturning affirmative action. supporters say 70% of harvard's donor and legacy applicants are white and legacy students are about six times more likely to be admitted. a live look at sfo where it's relatively calm and the calm has returned for flyers after the long holiday weekend.

yesterday there were seven flight cancellations, despite severe weather elsewhere. this follows last week's problems which impacted travelers all across the nation. several flights were delayed yesterday. so far today, at sfo just two cancellations this morning. happening in new york city, final preparations are under way ahead of the macy's fourth of july fireworks. >> some say attendees should brace for an unforgettable time. 50 technicians now loading 60,000 shells and organizers say this year's show includes a synchronized american flag display. >> it's a mile wide waving flag. some of the fireworks have some action to them, so this creates the red and white stripes that will cascade down from the sky above. >> sometimes i wonder, where do they test those out? look, getting to the big apple last minute probably is going to be too expensive and not in your

schedule, but you can catch tonight's show from the comfort of your own couch. it starts at 8:00 right here on nbc bay area. don't have to go far at all. >> or you can catch one of the many bay area shows happening around the bay area. >> if karl allows. >> and we have daytime festivities. >> so much going on, pretty much all the towns have something going on. let's head over to danville because the kiwanis parade starts in the morning with temperatures nice and cool, upper 50s here. it's going to be mostly sunny. as you go throughout the rest of the morning into the afternoon, those temperatures warming up. it's going to be very pleasant in danville. we are seeing clouds moving by in san jose as we prepare for the rose, white and blue parade. our own kris sanchez is going to be out there. it's going to be in the low 70s and nice and sunny. our temperatures will be heating

morning commute, which really there isn't one. it's been so light. that's a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. we have just a few cars driving by. the golden gate bridge is also clear. a lot of green sensors around the bay area. a couple of minor issues popping up, but there really isn't enough to cause a backup. so it does look pretty good for you and just a heads-up to check public transit before you head out. a lot of them are running weekend or sunday schedules. so check on that before you step out the door. i'll have another update in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. a scare in the air for one pilot south of the bay area. new details on the malfunction that forced an emergency landing in the middle of a field. and who is cleaning up tahoe beaches following a busy holiday weekend? the new technology coming to the rescue. all morning long we're breaking down celebrations happening across the bay area to celebrate independence day, including danville, which is holding its fourth of july
