enjoy that cool looking shot for a moment because i know what's coming later this week. >> i'm marcus washington. >> i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia has the day off. we're going to check the drive times in just a minute and the gas prices. let's take a look at the forecast because it's changing a bit. >> we can actually see what's happening at the sutro tower camera because the fog is a lot lower. we're seeing it pushed down to the ground and it will continue to thin out. that is changing what we're going to feel over the next few days. so taking a look at these temperatures, we are in the mid-50s, we're feeling that around the bay area. here we're going to see increasing sunshine and highs reaching into the mid-60s while some of our inland areas will be much hotter. take a look at livermore and concord, reaching into the low 90s. upper 80s for santa rosa today and definitely warmer for san jose, reaching into the mid-80s this afternoon. we're going to be on a warming trend over the next few days and i'll talk more about this and

how hot it gets this weekend in a few minutes. mike, you're already tracking a crash in the north bay. >> it's been going on up here in vallejo. this is sonoma boulevard, also known as highway 29. the crash is described as west 37 at highway 29, but look at those sensors. i believe it's the on-ramp from sonoma boulevard getting onto highway 37, so we're watching that. whatever the case, it's open, but there are four vehicles involved, including one big rig, so there may be a lot of activity and we see slowing that just popped up. the cash has been there for a little while in the north bay. that is a critical spot but not really a critical time as far as the volume of traffic. we'll watch for the volume to build. hopefully that will clear in the next half hour. no issues getting toward the bay bridge and a beautiful view from emeryville. back to you. >> thanks, mike. a search continues for the gunman who robbed a high-end designer store in san francisco's union square. >> police say the same crew may be tied to at least one other

robbery. ginger conejero saab is live for us in san francisco. ginger, this is just another blow to the city's struggling downtown retail sector. >> reporter: that's right, marcus and kris. san francisco taking hit after hit in what's being called an exodus in retail businesses. now an armed robbery at the gucci store on stockton street. sfpd confirms the downtown store was robbed yesterday just past 3:30 in the afternoon. pd told nbc bay area in a written statement the vehicle the robbers' used was also involved in a separate robbery and that officers saw and pursued the car, but they eventually lost it on the peninsula. nbc bay area spoke with a witness by phone who was there when the robbery happened. she said there were anywhere from four to six men involved, she and her daughter entered the store just seconds before robbers bursted in and began grabbing handbags from displays.

>> i couldn't believe what i was looking at. they were just pulling things off the shelves and running back and forth, and i saw a gun on the waist and that really scared me. and at the time my daughter had just been escorted to the basement to use the bathroom. >> reporter: now, our witness said she was afraid her daughter would return while the gunmen were still in the store and one might get spooked and hurt her. she said she and the clerk were in tears after the men left. both thankful that no one was hurt. since the start of the year the city has seen the exit of more than a dozen national retailers from the downtown area. many of those retailers have also closed their outlets in other cities, some have moved to smaller locations in san francisco, and they say this is a response to a shift in national customer shopping. now, luxury larsancy is not just in san francisco but other places in the country and around

the world. a couple months ago new york city cracked down on a multimillion dollar retail theft ring that sent a big message, here in san francisco many people waiting for a similar big message. if you know anyone or anything about this investigation or anything that can help pd, you are asked to call the police. in san francisco, ginger conejero saab, "today in the bay." >> ginger, we will be watching. thank you. developing now, the two-day fate oh summit gets under way in europe with welcoming news. leaders are meeting in lithuania as we speak ahead of the summit, a key surprise move for turkey which dropped its opposition to sweden joining the alliance. >> adding sweden along with finland's position comes as president biden works to strengthen support for ukraine. "today in the bay"'s alice barr is live in washington. what's on the agenda for world leaders today? >> reporter: well, really what you just pointed out is a huge headline out of it, the fact that turkey has dropped

opposition, clearing the way for sweden to join nato, and that clears the way for the alliance members to really consider thoughtfully a potential pathway for ukraine to enter the security alliance, though likely not while the war is ongoing. president biden greeting the president of lithuania as the nato summit kicks off today in that country at a critical moment for the battle raging in ukraine just a few hundred miles away. >> we're also going to discuss our support for the people of ukraine, and i want to thank you for your partnership and leadership as we take on this challenge together. >> reporter: president biden set to meet tomorrow with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy as he steps up his calls for nato membership. >> we see our future in european union in nato. >> reporter: the president dismissing that idea for now because of its implications for nato's joint defense agreement. >> it's a commitment we've all made, no matter what.

if the war is going on, then we're all in the war. we're in war with russia, if that were the case. >> reporter: but the security alliance is expected to grow after turkey's president erdogan agreed to support sweden's nato bid, a surprise reversal after a year of opposition. >> bringing those capabilities in the alliance would be an enormous boon to the strength and capacity. >> reporter: coming with the recent addition of finland, sweden's membership would deal another blow to russian president vladimir putin who exposes nato expansion, world leaders eyeing new cracks in putin's leadership after last month's brief rebellion, potentially a key opening to fortifying nato and firm support for ukraine. an interesting development, the nato secretary-general said just a little bit earlier this morning that there is a confirmed message among members, they want to agree on a united

and positive message on a path forward on nato membership for ukraine. president biden standing with him when he said that, said he agreed with that language. so some hope that that really will be a concrete possibility, though, again, not while the war is ongoing. back to you. >> thank you very much, alice. 5:08 right now. a live look at the white house. happening today, a classified briefing gets under way surrounding the impact of artificial intelligence and adopting new safeguards. senate majority leader chuck schumer organized the briefing and he says that it will instruct senators on how the u.s. is using and investing in ai to protect national security. now, it will also outline the u.s. adversaries in what they are doing in the fields. last month schumer called for comprehensive new legislation to address artificial intelligence. a south bay nurse is now recovering after she was bitten by a shark while vacationing in

south america. doctors are now treating delia yriarte in an ecuadorian hospital. she was bitten july 4th in the galapagos islands while snorkeling. she says first she felt she scraped a rock and she felt a touch and a strange sensation and then her leg went numb. she got back to shore and called for help. >> when i turned, i noticed blood and i said i have an injury, but i have no idea what kind. by the time i got to the shore i was already a little more tired, i was anxious, but then i realized that my knee was torn from both sides. >> she says she only learned that it was a shark later from a doctor at the hospital. now, sense then, she has had five tendons repaired and several surgeries. she also says she doesn't know what kind of shark bit her, but she's been told maybe it was a black tip or a reef shark. happening today, the opening of a brand new pickleball venue,

this is in a historic san francisco location. three indoor courts are opening at the palace of fine arts, replacing tennis courts. but to play, you're going to have to book ahead. those reservations open at 9:30 this morning. the city has 67 pickleball courts and leaders say the sport is booming in popularity. >> it's a really fun sport, it's very social, very accessible for people of all ages. it's just a bit of a land use challenge. you've got a new sport that's shown up on the scene and we have so much land and so much space, and how we divvy it up to make everybody happy is both the joy and the challenge of my work. >> reservations can be made for a 90-minute session tuesday through sunday at a cost of $45. if you book early in the day, you actually might be able to do so at no cost. otherwise, make those

reservations, visit dinksf.com. >> i haven't played it yet, but i'm intrigued. >> i played it way back in high school. we mocked by p.e. teacher for playing it. he said, all right, boys, let's play then. we're smacking the ball around, and he goes, dink, he had so much control. it is a sport of control as well as agility. >> that's what the general manager of the recs and park department said. he said it's easy to learn, hard to master. >> you'll master it. i'll give you two weeks. good day for pickleball? >> yeah, it's going to be cool in san francisco but some of our inland areas are going to start to heat up, especially as we head into the afternoon. we all have this nice, refreshing cool start to the day. we're in the 50s all around the bay area. but then as we go into the day,

the temperatures start to spread out. spots like walnut creek will be much warmer, 61 degrees at 8:00. but at noon we're at 81 degrees. and then upper 80s at 2:00. you see how quickly it heats up as we go into the afternoon. here is a look at our high temperatures today. oakland reaching 77 and 88 for a high in martinez. just a short distance, you can see how much our temperatures will vary, reaching into the low 90s in concord, 92 in morgan hill and 90 in los gatos. we'll talk about the weekend in a few minutes. mike has a look at lower gas prices. >> congratulations to livermore, back amongst the ten best prices in the state for our area, $4.05, same place, diamond gas and mart on south front row. south bay, cupertino's lowest is $4.15 at cupertino car wash on north de anza boulevard. in mill valley, $4.29 at the arco and that's the best for marin county.

thank you to gasbuddy.com for sharing that. the roadways, everything is sharing well, on the peninsula there is a crash eastbound 92 approaching 101. 92 across the water westbound, a lot of taillights just joining in on the roadway. no brake lights. we'll monitor carefully. i think it's just timing, everybody got there at the same time. >> timing is always important. thanks, mike. 5:13 right now. get ready, set, click. so coming up this morning, it is amazon prime day and we're going to explain why this year some of the best deals you can get may be found i in s some previouous uncharted territories. >> i think i've charted all the teterritoriess a at amazon. plus, gearing up for a battlele. thesee two highly anticipated films are set to bit the big screen witith aududiences t tha rereally spann the spectrum. rereally spann the spectrum. the boost it's giving - you u ok? - - there's a a flex alertrt ty

but kari can't control them and can't pause them. i don't control the traffic, either. that's okay, everything is under control in oakland, the nimitz looking northbound with taillights, seeing a few more heading toward the toll plaza. but no backup at the bay bridge. we'll check in with silvana. good morning. i'm silvana hanao from cnbc. wall street is set for a flat open after the market snapped a three-day losing streak. the dow rising more than 200 points while the s&p 500 was up a quarter of a percent and the nasdaq made fractional gains. investors are gearing up for tomorrow's consumer price index data, as well as producer prices on thursday, which may shed light on whether inflation has continued to decline, and that could create a backdrop for the future direction of interest rates. traders are pricing in another quarter point rate hike by the federal reserve at its meeting later this month. amazon prime day is under way and it could be a test of consumer demand amid an

uncertain economy and high inflation. analysts say amazon is offering deeper discounts than in previous years. insider intelligence is projecting amazon to make nearly $13 billion, that's up about 11% from last year. amazon's ceo telling cnbc last week consumers are trading down and searching for bargains. the hottest ticket this summer may be barbenheimer. amc says more than 20,000 of its loyalty program have bought tickets to watch a double feature of "barbie" and "oppenheimer" who come out next friday. fans have created t-shirts, posters and are following marketing for both films. amc saw a 33% increase over the weekend in the number of people deciding to create their own double feature, seeing both movies on the same day. "barbie" and "oppenheimer" have a combined run time of just over five hours, not including trailers. >> "oppenheimer" first.

"barbie" last, because up. which one are you going to see? >> exactly, yes. "barbie." >> let's go, "barbie." kari is already ready for it. >> i guess so. the pink memo. >> we're all r for it here. >> the silvana say barbenheimer? i guess that's better than oppen dsh barbie. >> speaking of a lot, this heat, we're going to see it coming in for the next few days and it's been cool. it's about time for a change. let's get you another live look outside in san francisco. i don't know if i can get enough of this shot. it looks beautiful. we take a look from our sutro tower camera. we can see the sun rising this morning and a little fog and

clouds rolling across the city. so right now we're going to start out cool but head for the upper 60s in san francisco, in novato much warmer, reaching 86 today. you head across the bay to oakland, it will be in the upper 70s. the farther you go inland the hotter it will be. temperatures will hit 91 in concord, san jose will reach 85 degrees and 90 in los gatos. the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. we're going to see temperatures hold steady for the next few days and then rise more going into the weekend. so tomorrow, thursday, we're still looking at a wide range in temperatures, but heating up in the valleys as the high pressure builds all across the southwest. the heat they've been talking about in arizona and in nevada, it's going to start to make its way into the bay area, especially in the inland valleys. so our outlook for the next couple of weeks shows that all across the west we're going to see the heat expanding as the

high pressure kind of pushes its way back toward the bay area. it's going to fight back our ocean breeze and our valleys are going to heat up. take a look at concord. we're going from upper 80s to upper 90s on friday. and then hitting the peak of the heat on saturday, 102 degrees. then gradually coming down next week. this heat is going to take a while before it gets out of here, so we're looking at several days with some of our temperatures reaching over 100 degrees, starting on friday, continuing through sunday, and still pretty hot on monday as well. we're not going to see that extreme heat in san francisco, but warming up here as well with upper 70s for the weekend. mike, you're seeing slowing in contra costa county? >> we are, kari. highway 4. it was actually more focused just a few minutes ago so maybe something happened that caused folks to suddenly hit the brakes. it's smoothing out. it is 5:22 on a tuesday, we are seeing that volume build about the right time. over here, highway 37, some

folks may be slowing a tad bit past the crash that's reported at sunol boulevard. nothing major, not enough to cause that much of a relief over there. the bay bridge toll plaza doesn't really have the issue, taking a close-up look we don't see the transition having any problems. i think they're going to be clearing this crash, but there were a number of vehicles. no problems anywhere south of there. >> thanks, mike. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> resort fees are all over the map. well, we think there are some tricks to help you avoid paying them. i'm consumer i'm consumer (warehouse ambience)

inintroducing g togo's new frfrench dip s sandwiches feataturing frfresh artisasan b piled highgh with tendnder roast bebeef, smothehered with m melty provovolone cheeeese and seserved with h hot au ju fofor dipping.g. try y the roast t beef or papasi frenench dips totoday only at togo's

our first trick is to check your rate. we recently saw a hotel in honolulu where west coasters could book a special rate that doesn't include a resort fee. the thing is, it wasn't the first rate the hotel's website showed. you had to click more rates and then scroll down to see it. so poke around while booking. pro tip, if you already have a reservation, you're not necessarily locked into a rate. many reservations can be revised right up until the week you arrive. so check to see if you can change your rate now to save money on your vacation. second, comparison shop for package deals. here is one good example.

some warehouse clubs offer members hotel deals that do not have a resort fee. third, see if your company has a negotiated hotel rate. many employers, especially the big ones, broker deals with the hotel chains. part of that negotiation is nixing resort fees and sometimes you can use your corporate rate. see if your loyalty pays. at least one chain waives resort fees for top-tier members. tip number five is see if using points instead of cash to pay for your stay makes sense, even if you have to buy the point. here is why. many hotels do not charge resort fees when you're redeeming their points. >> that's good to know. >> always good stuff. 5:27 right now. next, top stories we're following this morning, including targeted by hackers. another bay area city now battling ransomware attacks. we're going to break down the

sensitive information some fear may be compromised. plus, disgraced theranos founder elizabeth holmes has her sentence slashed. we'll break down the total time reduction and

right now at 5:30, a high-stakes nato summit, global alliances may be in flux with the war in ukraine. topping the agenda, new words this morning from our secretary

of state, pivotal decisions that must be made. plus, former theranos executive elizabeth holmes gets two years lobbed off her prison sentence. also, catastrophic flooding slams the northeast and we'll take a look at the damage left behind, plus an update on the places still remaining under flood watch. this is "today in the bay." thank you so much for joining us on this tuesday morning. i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia has the day off. >> i'm marcus washington. want to get you started with a look at that forecast. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect today. the warm-up is starting. >> it's starting and we're really going to feel it in the inland areas. in spots like santa rosa it's going to be hotter compared to yesterday. we have a cool start, it's only 50 degrees as you get ready to head out the door, and it's going to clear out quickly as we see temperatures warming up. for the south bay, we're headed

for the mid-80s, much of the peninsula in the upper 70s and the tri-valley reaching 90 degrees today. we'll see the east bay temperatures in the upper 70s, expect about 68 degrees in san francisco, and hot for the north bay valleys, in the upper 80s today. more of this in the forecast. we'll talk about it in a few minutes. mike, that fog is a factor at the golden gate bridge. it's a little tougher to see on the north side of the bridge. a warning from chp. you do see how tough it can be coming through the fog, but it's nice to see cars moving well, spaced here coming into san francisco. so no delays show up there. there is a delay, but a smooth drive for highway 4 and 37 starts the build out of vallejo. the tri-valley, altamont pass, a little build. i think 680 northbound should be

opening. i'm going to double-check the caltrans conditions because north 680 should be open about this time. back to you. >> thank you, mike. new this morning, a surprise twist for a disgraced theranos founder and ceo elizabeth holmes. she's learning that she'll be freed from prison sooner than originally thought. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell is here. bob, what kind of sentence reduction are we talking about? do we know why? >> reporter: we've got a sense, yeah, we do know the reduction. elizabeth holmes' prison sentence has been reduced by two years. the bureau of prisons website, you see the screenshot, now shows her release date as being december 29th, 2032, which means the 11-year sentence has been reduced to nine years. the bureau of prisons wouldn't comment specifically about holmes sentence out of respect for her privacy and security. but they say generally speaking inmates can have their sentence reduced for things like good conduct and completing programs

for rehabilitation. holmes reported to a women's prison camp in texas this past may after she was convicted on four felony counts of fraud and conspiracy for duping investors into buying theranos. that was her company that falsely promised it could perform blood tests with a single drop of blood. former theranos executive sunny balwani is also serving a prison sentence. both he and holmes have been ordered to pay over $400 million in restitution to their victims. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you. oakland leaders will debate a $75,000 pay hike for mayor sheng thao. not everyone is on board. it comes amidst new data from the state controller's office showing that san francisco mayor london breed is the highest paid mayor in california. she made $357,000 last year, with benefits it approached $450,000.

former l.a. mayor eric garcetti made just over $300,000. san diego mayor made $236,000. in fourth, oakland mayor libby schaaf with $209,000. liccardo was fifth highest and for oakland's pay hike, one council member is opposed. >> i will not be supporting that action, considering the fact that, you know, the finances of the city of oakland in the coming years. >> if the finance committee signs off, the full council will hold a vote next week. the city of hayward is reeling from a ransomware attack that left many of its i.t. systems and websites at a standstill. city leaders first discovered the problem sunday morning, phones and emergency dispatch services are not impacted. we should tell you that. but the fbi is now assisting in

this investigation. so if you're among the people who need city services from hayward or you need to pay for a parking ticket, for example, you'll probably have to do it in person like this woman. >> pay my parking tickets that i need to take care of asap. i was just hoping maybe they'll accommodate the public a little bit based on the situation. >> our i.t. department, along with our cybersecurity consultants assessing the extent and the scope of the intrusion. >> so at this point it does not appear that any personal information was compromised and the hackers' demands have not been made public. happening today, a south bay couple accused of running a backroom botox clinic are due in court. prosecutors say 45-year-old and 48 years james carey illegally injected patients from their san jose home. authorities arrested them in may. they're charged with practicing medicine without a license.

new this morning, secretary of state blinken is opening up as the nato summit kicks off this morning in lithuania. ukraine has been making a bid to join the alliance but in the past president biden has said the war has to end first. talking with the "today" show this morning, blinken says the summit will highlight nato's support for ukraine. >> i think what you're going to see happen over the next couple of days is a clear demonstration of the progress that ukraine has made toward eventual membership. that's going to be reflected in what comes out on the summit, as well as work that still needs to be done. everyone has been clear, including president zelenskyy, that in the midst of a war membership can't happen, but they've made real progress and the alliance will lay out the further reforms, both in terms of their security work and their democracy that are necessary to keep moving down that path. >> you can see the full one-on-one interview with savannah guthrie later on the today show and that's coming up at 7:00 right after "today in

the bay." look at the extreme weather happening now on the east coast. if you have friends or family there, you know they've been talking about it. heavy rains moving through parts of new york causing major flooding. >> look at all of that flooding, washing away roads, and even some homes. "today in the bay"'s kristen dahlgren tells us, 11 million people are still under flood watch. >> reporter: from main street in montpelier, you can see it is completely flooded, feet of water in the downtown area here. it continues to rise. take a look over here and you can see just how quickly the water is pouring into this area. two rivers converge right here so the water now spilling over both banks and coming in from both sides. you can see that car, when we got here this morning, was about a foot more of it visible, so the water is really coming up quickly. this is just one of the areas in vermont that has been devastated. there were flash floods across

the state and the rain continuing on and off this morning, as we continue to watch. officials now concerned about a dam above the city here. they say it's approaching capacity. they may need to let some water out, which could be devastating. they are still warning everybody to be ready to head to higher ground. back to you. >> we've seen some people on the roofs of their homes. i mean, you expect that when you have a hurricane, but this -- >> yeah, run-of-the-mill storm, and in hudson valley they got a whole summer's worth of rainfall in one day, and now vermont still under flood warnings. they've seen about 9 inches of rainfall and there's more storms coming. still under flood watches and warnings as another round of the last bit of rain comes through vermont right now, heading toward new hampshire. it's also going to move through maine over the next several hours. then the other big story has

been the extreme heat over the south, where we're looking at temperatures once again in parts of texas, as well as new mexico and arizona reaching over 100 degrees and up to 110 again today in phoenix. they've had such a long stretch with no relief in sight, and the problem is that the overnight temperatures are only getting down to about 90 degrees. some of that heat is going to start to expand into the bay area. we're also going to see those temperatures ramping up for the inland valleys over the next few days. it starts today with some 90s popping up in our inland valleys, with a high of 91 today in concord, we'll also see low 90s in the south county, while our coastal areas are staying nice and mild. we'll talk about the ramp-up in temperatures ahead in a few minutes. mike, you're also tracking what's happening out there for a nice, quiet start to the morning. >> it is a pretty quiet start. a little build for san jose as expected and 680 does have

traffic moving northbound. crews are still reported on the grid. i will take you to a concern here for highway 4. we saw early slowing through pittsburg and bay point. it kind of sorted out. there is a car fire reported blocking the slow lane and the car fire is still going on. it sounds like people are out of the vehicle and there may be an additional distraction for westbound highway 4. that's about it for the morning commute. the metering lights are not yet on, but any minute. we are looking over here, like all week, we're looking at tiburon boulevard will have some paving work going on between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. that will be part of the issue for the main stretch of state route 131 there. overnight, getting off at treasure island is not possible until 5:00 in the morning. folks have to go to the oakland side, loop back at the toll plaza and then back over and use the westbound exit to get onto

the island. the build at the toll plaza, last check there were no metering lights. there's no backup but the volume on the span is building a bit. we'll look for metering lights, i think in the next few minutes to keep everything moving smoothly. back to you. >> thanks, mike. bringing arms to the airport. still ahead, a look at the number of firearms seized this year by airport security and the most common thread when those weapons are found. and addressing sleep issues. we're going to tell you why women tend to sleep worse than men and experts say what is most likely the reason. >> a popular freebie is back and it has to do with today's date. can you guess? >> yep. but i'll wait. but i'll wait. >> we'll gue whichss

as you get ready to head out the door in morgan hill, 54 degrees right now. it's nice and cool, but it's going to heat up quickly. at 9:00 it's 68 degrees and at noon it is 84. it's going to be much warmer today and that warming trend continues into the weekend. more on that coming up in a few minutes. we're looking at the bay bridge, a backup forming as the metering lights were activated during the last report. there's some issues in the east bay causing more slowing for highway 4. we'll check in on the car fire

to put it on, and fast. >> the debate is scheduled for august 23rd in milwaukee, wisconsin. tsa agents have confiscated more guns at checkpoints in the first half of this year compared to last year. new numbers released indicate more than 3,200 confiscated guns. more than 90% were loaded as well. this is also 6% higher than last year's record pace. for those who must transport guns, the tsa reminds you to declare it first and then make sure it is unloaded. when it comes to catching your zs, new research finds that we women have a harder time than men. the national sleep foundation finds that women are far more likely than men to have problems falling asleep and staying asleep. that's my problem. and one in four women have some sort of insomnia symptoms. one sleep expert tells "today" some of the reasons why. >> unfortunately, yes, women do experience many more sleep

difficulties than do men, so that's more difficulties falling asleep, more difficulty falling back to sleep if they wake up in the middle of the night. >> the study also finds a strong relationship between the lack of sleep and mental health issues like depression with people sleeping fewer than seven hours a night more likely to have those symptoms. >> i do feel like women, you all carry a lot. >> never stops. >> we wouldn't be anywhere without you. i'm being honest. all right, look, it is 5:47. still no grand slam when it comes to that growing power ball jackpot. we talked about this yesterday. last night's drawing, $675 million, rolled over to $725 million. this is for tomorrow's drawing. but someone in the south bay did pick up the five non power ball numbers and this was at the valero on de anza boulevard in san jose. >> the ticket holder will win

about $350,000. the numbers for last night's power ball drawing, 2, 24, 34, 53, 58, the power ball was lucky number 13. the jackpot for tonight's mega millions lottery will be $480 million. the drawing is at 8:00 tonight. >> good luck. trending this morning, for some people's today's date means only one thing, 7-eleven offering free slurpees. >> brain freeze. so those participating stores are going to give away small slurpees, along with speedway. you won't have to go too far to find a slurpee machine. california has more than 2,700 stores. get what you want, but save me a cherry slurpee. i like to mix mine, the cherry with the coca-cola. >> i do the sugar-free ones. they're just as good and i get those for the kids as well. >> most people, they're, like, i

want a large one. >> i'm going to get my lottery ticket while i'm there. >> if i win the lottery, i'll buy you all a slurpee. >> today only. >> i'm not going to comment, mike. just a slurpee? at least a coca-cola. you'll need something to cool off the next few days, cool, refreshing, because our temperatures are going to be heating up. take a look at this beautiful view we have over san francisco, with the fog rolling by, the sun rising and that's a look from our sutro tower camera as we start to see the clouds and the fog peeling back already. it's going to heat up in spots like danville. we're starting out at 57 degrees and we'll see sunshine all day long and we'll head for the low to mid-70s as we go through late morning, low 80s by noon, and it continues to go up from there until we hit about 90 degrees in danville. in fremont we're going to see a high of 84 today and 88 in martinez, also 88 in santa rose.

san mateo heads for 75 degreesment we're going to put this weather pattern in repeat for the next few days. warm in the valleys, cool near the coast. we'll have another ramp-up as we get closer to the weekend. how are the reservoirs doing? we're seeing them pretty high with some of the larger ones in northern california still running at 98% of capacity for lake oroville, lake shasta 91%. trinity lake has made it to a little more than halfway. as we take a look at our forecast around the bay area, we've been talking a lot about hotter temperatures coming our way. take a look at what to expect going into the upper 80s and low 90s from now through thursday, and then the weekend we'll be hitting triple digits in the inland areas. lots of sunshine, morning temperatures and overnight around 60 degrees. for san francisco we're not going to see as drastic as a

warm-up but there will be more sunshine, upper 70s still warm for people in the city, especially without air-conditioning. and we're going to see that continue into sunday and then cool down on monday. we'll be tracking all of that. mike, you have a fire reported on highway 4? >> it was a car fire but now it's been issued an alert by the chp. i think that's because the second lane has to be block. no major injuries. we see the backup forming from lone tree way, no major injuries reported. they're outside of the vehicle, which we talked about being more of a distraction. any slowing approaching this area out of antioch may mean lighter traffic toward pittsburg. things are smoothing out but the traffic builds toward pleasant hill and concord. a steady flow for highway 37, the earlier crash, that is clear from the roadway. the bay bridge toll plaza not clear. that has built up as the metering lights were turned on during the last report. we have a gradual build filling

in all lanes and definitely off the 880 over-crossing. that will be an issue as folks come through the east bay. a little build around 92 and 101 in san jose. i'm watching 85 southbound. that doesn't typically show any slowing in the morning. the sensors should go back to green. >> we like green when it comes to travel. thank you so much. happening now, the white house unveiling a new plan to crack down on fentanyl, specifically it's targeting the growing threat of the drug laced with xylazine. the fdc and fda are looking at overdose recovery resources and aims to disrupt the drug's supply chain. hitting a snag while exploring california's redwood. we're checking out what's trending, including a viral video showing what can go wrong if you're not paying attention in nature. then at 6:00, president biden arrives in lithuania and we have breaking news -- we are breaking down the high-stakes

welcome back. you're watching "today in the bay." turning to our climate in crisis, we know temperatures are going to be heating up this week, and it gets more expensive to stay cool. i want to give you a few ways to save a few coins while reducing your carbon footprint. pay attention to your thermostat setting. can you afford to just bring it up a few notches? because when it is hot your ac unit has to work a lot harder. this avoids stressing the unit and can save you a few dollars on the electric bill. and, also, close the blinds to keep it cooler inside and use fans to circulate the air, only in rooms that are occupied. and avoid turning on the oven by cooking meals on the grill. and if you can, don't cook at all. think about how that meal that you're eating may make you feel. would a salad or a sandwich help you feel cooler than a hot meal? and did you know that your diet

has an impact on the environment? by cutting out meet even just one day a week you can cut your carbon footprint by up to 70%. think about all it takes to get that meet from the farm to the table and then to the landfill. on these hot days try carpooling and working remotely, or using public transit. that reduces the amount of pollution that gets trapped in the surface as the ozone builds. these are just a few tips to not only deal with the heat, but also save you a bit of money while reducing your environmental impact. you can see more tips and how climate change is affecting the bay area on our website on nbcbayarea.com. just check out our climate in crisis page. let's look at what's trending this morning, and how about this video? this is a video of a tourist's car becoming stuck inside a giant redwood tree. this is the drive-through tree in humble county, and you can see the car trying to make it

through. >> come on. >> it knocks off a mirror in the process. it's gotten more than 5 million views online. if looks fun, aside from getting the car stuck. you can drive through the tree for $10. but perhaps a smaller vehicle. i saw another one online that was a ford expedition -- i mean a cadillac escalade. >> for $10 you can drive through. from slicing off your mirror to slicing your meat fresh at subway. subway is changing the way it is making your sandwiches and it wants to let you try one for free. subway is spending $80 million on new meat slicers, so no more pre-sliced meats.

participating subways will get out free 6 inch subs from 10:00 in the morning until noon, but only the first 50 people get one and you have to show up in person. there is a limit of one per person. what do you think? does it matter? you guys say they do matter. that's on my instagram. you can weigh in there. >> it seems fresher. >> it does feel fresher. when you said you were going to slice your own meat, i thought we were going to go in and self-serve everything. you've seen people trying to use the self-checkout. >> come on, i've got somewhere to go. if you like those stories, we've got so much more on our website. just head over to nbcbayarea.com. you can see that in the trending bar at the top of our home page. >> right now at 6:00, armed robbers once again target a
