♪ shake it off ♪♪ > the d day has arrrrived fo swswifties. tayloror swifift's tour hitss l stadiuium. some fans are hoping to score a last-minute ticket. how you can shake off anyone trying to steal your money. this is "today in the bay." we went from that peppy little song. >> shake it off. >> good morning to you. friday morning, at last. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus washington is off. i'm sure a lot of people are going to be watching the roads to see how that's going to impact mayor swift. >> we might see him in a shot. we'll check it out. >> we'll hear about those traffic reports and how that's going to happen. i'm sure a lot of people are wondering, is it going to be a nice day? >> they have a lot of cool

dresses to put together and awesome outfits we'll see on social media, i'm sure. but this morning you need a jacket if you are heading out early out the door to run any last-minute errands for the taylor swift concert. san francisco is socked in under fog and a little chillier toward the coast, some of it lingering into parts of the east bay and the north bay at 48 degrees. we'll talk more about where this weekend is heading with our high temperatures, which it's going to be a nice weekend. i'm going to send it to mike, who is already tracking crashes on the road. overnight crash, we don't have any major injuries reported, but there is a crash in the east bay. hayward, 880 and 92. it might still be affecting lanes. i've zoomed into mountain view, not far from shoreline. we're looking at ellis, the off-ramp. there was an earlier crash about an hour and a half ago. reports of sparking live wires because of an electrical box, so just a note for the ellis

off-ramp from south 101. >> thanks, mike. developing this morning, firefighters still aren't saying if they know what sparked a big fire last night in san francisco's sunset district. two people, one of them a firefighter, suffered minor injuries. it started at about 8:30 near 19th and irving near golden gate park, and it took more than two hours before firefighters had it under control. today leaders in oakland will hold a day of action meant to address violence, it's on international boulevard between 82nd and 90th avenues, an area with major crime and safety concerns. >> same concerns, the primary focus of what at times was a chaotic town hall in oakland last night hosted by da pam ra price and the oakland police department. >> i think that she stands for fairness and that's what we support. >> i was pulled out of my car at gunpoint and deposited in the middle of the street. they took my bag, they took

everything. this is 10:00 in the morning up here in oakland. >> an overflow crowd were in the church, leaving some unable to get in. frustration boiled over on both sides, with critics calling price too soft on crime. others were there to support the d.a.'s strategy, which includes in some cases dropping enhancement charges with the idea that county jails are already overcrowded. among those attending, violent crime victims who say police and prosecutors are falling short. >> i want to hear from pamela price why kids who assaulted me and my friend and many others have been released and are out doing it again. >> we have to follow the law. the commission in 2017 issued a report that was a commission set up by governor newsom to look for the first time in decades at

our sentencing structure, and they recommended that we stopped using enhancements the way that we have done it consistently. >> others criticized oakland police, claiming the department is dropping the ball on stopping carjackings and break-ins. police argued oftentimes their hands are tied by policies or budget restraints. another meeting will take place in early september in east oakland. a new indictment for former president donald trump in the case of mishandled classified documents. a special counsel filed new charges against trump yesterday. the new indictment alleges the former president helped delete security video and the investigation into the classified documents stored at his florida estate. the former president's aide, walt nauta, has already been indicted. another trump aide has been added. he allegedly told another employee that the boss wanted the server deleted. >> the only way that indictment

is as detailed in recounting those interactions is if a party to those communications is cooperating. >> trump has pleaded not guilty in the classified documents case against him. a trial has been set for may. now, meanwhile, mr. trump is bracing for a possible third indictment for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. new this morning, b.a.r.t. is reportedly taking a stand against state lawmakers when it comes to fare jumpers. a bill authored by one southern california assembly member working its way through the legislature would decriminalize jumping on public transit. now they can be charged with misdemeanors and in extreme cases jail time can be considered. supporters argue fare evasion enforcement disproportionately impacts people of color. the "chronicle" reports say it would send a message to officers that they should deemphasize

fare jumping enforcement. the lanterns will making a come back in chinatown. they were badly damaged in the storms last winter. in the last few months, the merchants association collected donation to say pay for new lanterns and as of last night the lights are on display. business owners say the lanterns are a major part of chinatown and help bring in tourists. a heads-up this morning, for anyone thinking they may still try to attend mayor taylor swift's two big concerts after all, here is a live look at levi's where the first of those two shows happens tonight, with a follow-up concert tomorrow. in the next half hour we'll take you there for a live report, but this is the warning. the shows are prompting state attorney general rob bonta to issue a new consumer alert, beware of counterfeit tickets. buying online tickets are unsanctioned sources can leave you high and dry. they recommend always buying

tickets from authorized venders and don't fall for discounted prices, especially if it seems way too good to be true. if you do fall victim to a scam, report it to the state's website. turning to our climate in crisis, the record heat affecting much of the country has gotten so severe the biden administration is taking action. just yesterday president biden announced steps to improve weather forecasts, make drinking water more accessible and to implement a hazard alert system to keep employees safe. with just a few more days to go, the world meteorological association expects this will be the hottest july ever recorded, and scientists say it's because of human-caused climate change. we spoke with nbc news climate reporter lucas thompson about this record-breaking july. >> we're really focusing on the top five hottest julys on record for the globe have only been since 2016, which is a huge

indication that climate change is rapidly warming the world. >> to see more on the record-breaking heat showing no signs of relenting, tune in this morning to the "today" show. our forecast has been very pleasant and mild around here. >> it's been nice, but these places like phoenix and texas have been dealing with triple-digit temperatures for a month, two months, and there's little relief in the overnight hours, which doesn't allow the body to cool down and get back to an equilibrium state. look at where we're headed today, plenty of triple-digit heat through dallas. phoenix, 115, but we are going to stay pretty nice and mild in the bay area. look at this beautiful start that we have already over san jose. so san jose, west coast, best coast, as we continue this nice, gradual warm-up as we go through the lunchtime hour. more in a little bit. we are going to take it out to the roads and find out where

cheaper gas prices are. west coast, best coast, but not many best prices. vallejo, that's the place to fill up. a lot of the top ten are in vallejo. we're giving it to royal gas, $4.11 on tennessee, just a couple doors down from express for 2 cents for at $4.13. contra costa county, we head out to star gas in antioch on lone tree way. and $4.19 is the price there. the south bay, we're going to fill up in mountain view with their best of $4.29 at the diamond gas and mart on evelyn avenue. thank you for sharing prices on gasbuddy.com. i heard about a roadside fire that might be developing. someone saw a picture lighting cardboard along the roadway. that's the chp report. we'll track that. there's a little slowing for eastbound 24. it's been moving throughout the area, oakland heading toward orinda. i think it's a slower crew that might be clearing overnight road

work. coming up, we almost set a record on wall street, but we missed it by that much. >> we'll get the latest in just a little bit. doordash saying it's working to help you solve your dinner dilemma. coming up, the new tests under way aimed at helping you pick your next meal. continuing on that little food track, subway offering free sandwiches for life. >> what? >> but you have to make a major change in your life. we'll explain the offer on

good morning. we have made it to friday. if you are heading out the door in the south bay, for your commute over gilroy it's a little chilly while we start in those low 50s right now. but a gradual warm-up turning actually very warm as you head to your lunchtime hour at 82 degrees. we'll talk more about our microclimate forecast and a look at the weekend events coming up. and checking live here in palo alto, highway 101 moves smoothly. i was going to mention you're going to see signs about the event at levi's stadium, we'll talk about that, but now i hear about a crash on the same freeway. good morning. very happy friday to you. markets fell yesterday after we got that news, the american economy is doing much better than expected, and that recession is now that much more

unlikely. that sounds like good news, and it is, but it also means more interest rate hikes could be ahead. roku stock ready to take off after that company told investors it was making much more money than expected. santa clara's intel back to making profits after two quarters of losses. speaking of santa clara, santa clara university's business school dean ringing the closing bell on the new york stock exchange. he's marking the school of business's 100th anniversary. that's a real honor to ring the bell, though bummer yesterday the dow ended a 13-day winning streak, second longest ever. not the dean's fault. santa clara continues to go undefeated in football. spacex launched a falcon 9 rocket last night from florida, which was unremarkable, but the plan was to launch a falcon heavy rocket right behind it, breaking the record for back-to-back rocket launches set by the gemini program in the

'60s. it turned out the falcon heavy was not ready to go. they'll launch it tonight. the record set by pete conrad and dick gordon back in 1966, who launched 96 minutes apart to meet up in space and dock stands. they were trying to prove docking was possible. mastercard has sent a letter to banks telling them not to let their customers use mastercard branded cards to buy cannabis. it's still not legal on a federal level. mastercard's decision was first reported by bloomberg news. and a company that makes yoga pants and other athleisure clothing for women, sent an email to some customers that understandably made them uneasy. for instance, a woman named sophie got a message that said, hi, sophie, it's your neighbor across the street with the silver car and a little dog. just wanted to let you know everyone can see you when you walk around in your house in

your underwear all day. and then on the end of it, it said, by the way, today is trash day, don't forget. >> what? >> if you went far enough into the email, it was actually on sale on other clothes to cover your underwear. >> wow. >> yeah. the company didn't exactly apologize, but, yeah, it was not a good idea. >> my gosh, with so many privacy concerns, security concerns -- >> and so well written. do i have a neighbor with a silver car? >> exactly. >> it sounded authentic. >> is that going to make you scroll down or peer out your window? >> that's kind of creepy marketing. thank you, scott. it is 5:17 right now. more food from trader joe's is being recalled, this just weeks after customers found rocks in their cookies. the fda has issued a recall for trader joe's unexpected broccoli cheddar soup. it found insects in the frozen

broccoli florets. this comes almost two weeks after two other items were recalled, the almond windmill cookies and its dark chocolate chunk cookies also have been taken off the shelf. the cookies may contain rocks. trader joe's urges people not to eat the cookies and take them back to the store for a full refund. doordash is using ai-powered chatbot to speed up ordering. customers can only get personalized restaurant recommendations with simple text prompts. the system, which is being tested right now, has a warning message that the technology is experimental and accuracy can vary. about two-thirds of all food deliveries are in the u.s. and trending this morning, laura, how about some free submarine sandwiches, not just today, but for the rest of your life? >> that's a lot of $5 foot longs. it can all be yours, provided

you're game for a name change. you have to legally change your name to subway. the chain is holding a nationwide contest from august 1st through the 4th. one winner will be selected. to earn the grand prize, they must change their first name, so ginger subway or laura subway. subway promises to reimburse all the legal and processing costs. >> i don't know where to go with all of this. >> what about just mike subway? >> that sounds clever. >> they said you can't do that. and subway sounds silly. >> for the traffic guy to talk about the subway -- >> no. >> i like my name. >> i do, too. >> i wonder how my husband would feel about that. as is, it's already long. >> ginger conejero saab-way. >> that will work. >> i wonder if subway would be

okay with that. looking to see if today is going to be a nice day to enjoy subway sandwiches. >> any day is a good day for subway sandwiches, as long as we don't change our name. taking a look at our microclimate forecast, a busy start in the tri-valley. dublin, good morning, starting out in mid-50s. we will see a gradual warm-up into the 70s for your lunchtime hour. even in our inner most valleys we are not tracking any triple-digit heat. we're actually going to stay a little cooler compared to the last couple of weekends and that's thanks to the low pressure system over the pacific northwest, keeping that heat away, of course, through phoenix, texas, and through the midwest. that's going to bring up wind speeds in the afternoon hours when there's a clash between these two systems. that's what we've seen over the last couple of days. where are we headed with temperatures?

we'll see fog to start and keeping it in san francisco at 66. the immediate bay stays nice and comfortable in some mid to upper 70s, low 80s in dublin. san jose coming in at 79. and the warmer spots are going to be in fairfield through morgan hill with 90s. as we go into tomorrow and your weekend, the temperatures not varying too much as we go into tomorrow. but sunday seems to be the warmest days where we have some of those low 90s returning to the picture, like in concord and through the santa clara valley. what are we watching as we go into next week? we're wrapping up july and keeping an eye as we go into the first couple of days of august with moisture coming through the sierra. we're keeping our eyes on the green, some rain might be coming into parts of tahoe as we track the moisture coming in. otherwise, seven-day forecast in san francisco, breezy and 60s over the next couple of days and inland valleys not too much in the way of deviations with temperatures, overall a nice,

mild weekend. mike, we're going to a new crash in san jose? >> we've been tracking it north 101. we usually don't see any slowing for another 20 minutes, even on a friday. this is because there is a crash blocking at least one lane. chp says there may be a hit and run, so there may be further investigation. usually that doesn't lead to any more delay on the roadway. the build out of the tri-valley, not a big deal. altamont looking easy for this friday. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:22 right now. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> the donated backpacks are stacking up in our supporting our schools campaign. but we could still use a hand from you. i'm chris chmura. i'll show you two

that's 28,000 donated backpacks full of supplies. we are working with telemundo 48, our sister station, and family giving tree. and family giving tree is working with businesses around the community, including lamb research. here are some of its volunteers dropping off backpacks they packed up and donated. >> our feeling is it's important to level the playing field for disadvantaged students in order for them to succeed in their future education, dreams, future workforce. they've got to be prepared in school. >> you can participate, too. there are two different ways. first from the comfort of your home you can scan the qr code on your screen right now. it will take you to nbcbayarea.com/schools. there you can make a cash contribution, or you can virtually pack a backpack. option b, you can join us in person. we have two locations set up today from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. one in palo alto and another one in san ramon. they'll have all the supplies

you need on hand to pack up a backpack and donate it. you can also bring a backpack of your own and supplies of your own, but family giving tree does request that you only bring new supplies to those drop-off points. we look forward to seeing you. here is a final enticement. we might have freebies and goodies while supplies last if you join us in palo alto or san ramon. chris chmura, nbc bay area news. good morning. i'm bob redell. we are hours away from arguably one of the biggest events at levi's stadium. what you need to kn if you're what you need to kn if you're ow introducucing togo's's new frech dip p sandwicheses.

levi's stadium tonight weather-wise? let's turn to cinthia pimentel. i'm sure people have been counting this down for months and crossing their fingers that the weather is going to cooperate. >> i think the tickets went on sale last summer. it's been a long time coming and i think once swifties leave stadium tonight they'll say it was a fairytale. let's see what's going on. the concert kicks off at 6:30. temperatures will be mild. if you are from the bay area you know how the night goes on. it turns a little chilly as you go through the evening hours and the wind might pick up. make sure you bring a jacket to cover up after you show off your beautiful costumes. otherwise, we'll be in for a comfortable start to the weekend. let's go outside to the roads. a crash right here in the south bay? >> not far from where you're talking about for concertgoers. northbound 101, this continues with the crash blocking one lane, an overturned vehicle at northbound 101 and mckee.

it sounds like another vehicle fled the scene. that's the other hit-and-run part of the crash that chp is investigating. one car overturned at the very spot where we would typically see the first slowdown of the morning. that has enhanced things for that portion of 101. we have not seen it move toward 280, but that may be a ripple effect. meanwhile, the rest of the bay is friday light. ♪♪ ♪ you'll find another like me ♪ there it is, swifties are hoping there will never be another night like tonight. >> the countdown is officially on. 13 hours or so from now, show time. at least that's when the opening act is going to take the stage.

just to buy taylor swift t-shirts and other merchandise from the truck parked out front. tickets for the concerts have been selling on secondary markets for hundreds and thousands of dollars over face value. we spoke with fans who don't have tickets, but they still are going to try to show up outside the venue, even though levi's says standing outside the stadium on stadium property will not be allowed. >> i'm going to be here for sure, yeah. >> every single way, every social media aspect, i mean, every single group or whatever, trying to figure out how people are going to do it. >> reporter: now, santa clara police will be shutting down the drive in front of levi's starting at 9:30 this morning and we're told that fans would not be allowed to loiter around the stadium. no tailgating will be allowed on site once the parking lots open at around 2:00 p.m.

there is a hotel that has set up a tailgate area in its parking lot. fans we spoke with say those without tickets are planning to meet across the street from the stadium. they'll be setting up there since they will not be allowed on stadium property. if you are trying to get to the concert, you probably already know this, public transportation is going to be your best bet, b.a.r.t., vta, caltrain, and you are obviously going to be driving in, just understand that traffic on 101, 880, 237, what else is down here, san tomas, all these roads, great america parkway, it's going to be really bad. the santa clara police department are expecting that to get bad at around 1:00 this afternoon. >> wow. >> the concert is not until 6:30. this is good information for anyone not coming to the concert. if you have business down here, just keep in mind, treat this like the super bowl. >> i have heard people concerned, they have to take their kids to pt or something like that, and maybe you should reschedule.

>> reschedule today. my goodness. i like your favorite songs, bob. no bad blood. >> reporter: yes, yes. >> thanks, bob, for all the details. if you have any questions surrounding your taylor swift bay area visit today, whether you're going or not, we've got you covered. full guide for the bay area shows, what's going on, the traffic routes around there, head to nbcbayarea.com/taylor swift where you'll find a what to know guide. 5:36 now. happening today, a former san leandro police officer charged in a deadly shooting nearly three and a half years ago is set to return to court. jason fletcher pleaded not guilty to voluntary manslaughter. the shooting happened in april of 2020 inside the san leandro walmart store. security video shows a 33-year-old steven taylor holding a baseball bat, and after a brief altercation, police say pletcher first used a taser, then deadly force, which prosecutors later called excessive. fletcher has been out on bail

and a trial date has never been set. chilling new details emerging about a deadly stabbing wednesday on the peninsula. investigators say the suspect streamed his victim's final moments on social media. the stabbing happened at the victim's home at hillsdale garden apartments in san mateo. several hours later, officers arrested the suspect, 39-year-old mark mechikoff, in san jose. one of the victim's neighbors say officers initially went door to door trying to find him. >> we haven't found him yet, we're still looking for him. it was very scary, yeah. >> you didn't know if he was behind your home? >> exactly. i didn't know if he was hiding, if he was going to come knocking on my door next. >> investigators believe this is a case of domestic violence and ono sheideoeamingvada was the on facebook and contacted bay area authorities. new developments this morning, in a decades-old disappearance in fairfield.

investigators are now looking at possible links to a recently arrested former pastor. 4-year-old amanda campbell vanished in 1991 on her way to a friend's house. authorities always believed she may have been abducted. now they're taking a closer look at david zandstra. this week authorities charged him in connection with a kidnapping and murder of an 8-year-old girl in philadelphia back in 1975. starting in 1990, the year before amanda vanished, he served as pastor at the fairfield christian reform church where he served for 15 years. fairfield police do say at this point there is no information pointing to a connection. and t. swift is hardly the only game in town. also happening this weekend, some music lovers will flock to the north bay for napa's blue note jazz festival. this year the festival celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip hop. comedian dave chappelle will host and headliners include mary

tonight we will cool down. so you know what kind of clothing, blankets to bring to the giants games, of course. 626 night market, for all of you foodies, tomorrow at the alameda county fairgrounds. this runs from 1:00 to 11:00 p.m. temperatures there, you're going to need to get a big glass of lemonade with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, and then we'll cool down into the 60s by 9:00 tonight. we'll take a look at what's going on through taylor swift, and of course our weekend outlook in a little bit. we're going to send it to mike with more details on the crash in san jose. >> it's probably more pleasant details. we don't have any major injuries. someone is complaining of some pain. we talked about a rollover vehicle so one lane is blocked, and the morning commute, the first burst we typically see, really enhancing the backup as you're heading north toward mckee, that's coming past the 680/280 interchange. we'll watch for the ripple effect. then things should clear up nicely until we have another

ripple effect because of the concert, taylor swift, of course. bob talked about 237, 101, 880, folks will come over on montague expressway. no loitering in the area. we'll watch for that activity. options for transit, all lines lead to the vta orange line, b.a.r.t., caltrain, or the ace train shuttle. orange will take you to the great america station to avoid parking. there's going to be a lot of folks waiting for transit. back to you. >> thanks a lot, mike. 5:41. firefighters are going all in to help two of their ailing comrades, but in this case you can help, too. coming up, details on a one-of-a-kind event happening in just a matter of hours. president biden working with congress to better protect our soldiers, sailors and airmen as well. and talk about some brotherly love. a young football fan scores big, not for himself, for his sister.

heat may lie this weekend in a little bit. looking at our camera in san jose, this would normally slowly, gradually build up, 280 northbound, especially on a friday. but because of this crash, this rollover crash on north 101 at mckee, i'm worried we're going to see a quicker build on 280 coming off of that. we'll talk about why. i'll show you the ripple coming up. rock 'n' roll mourns the passing of a '70s super group founding member. ♪♪ ♪ take it to the limit ♪ >> randy meikner was one of the lead vocalist and songwriters during the early years, "take it to the limit" may be the song he's best known for. he late wednesday due to complications from heart disease. he was 77 years old. president biden has decided to bar the head of hong kong from attending a conference here in san francisco. >> scott mcgrew, it was not that

long ago that the head of hong kong actually represented a thriving democracy. >> for sure, for decades. but now represents more of china's interests. a lot has changed in hong kong since the british handed it back to the chinese. one of the biggest changes has been the head of hong kong, that would be the chief executive, in this case john li. the "washington post" was the first to report the white house will bar him from attending the asian pacific cooperation meeting in san francisco in november because of his record in human rights. that will probably cause chinese president xi to skip the meeting as well. the defense has pass -- the senate has passed the defense bill, both republicans and democrats voting yes. the bill, among other things, will give raises to our soldiers, sailors and marines. the bill goes to the house where it almost certainly won't pass because republicans there want to add restrictions, like a ban

on paid travel for abortion and cuts to programs that promote diversity and inclusion. also today, president biden will take the last step in changing the uniform code of military justice to better protect women in the service from sexual assault. the president will sign an executive order taking the power to investigate serious military crimes, like sexual assault, away from commanders and units at bases where they're based and then give that power to special military investigators. this was already part of a law led by new york senator kristen gillibrand. many in the military opposed it, including mark milley. yesterday prosecutors filed an indictment, adding more charges to the florida classified materials case, and we expect an indictment in a separate grand jury in

washington any time now, maybe today. that one over the criminal attempt to overturn the election. a state of georgia indictment into the election interference could come in the next few days as well. lastly, california senator dianne feinstein needed the help of an aide after she appeared confused as to what she was supposed to do. she was supposed to vote on that defense bill, but instead attempt t several times to read a speech as to why she would vote aye. just vote aye, an aide told her several times. the confusion comes a couple of days after 81-year-old senate minority leader mitch mcconnell chose midsentence for about 20 seconds. senator feinstein's office said she was preoccupied with a chaotic hearing. president biden is 80 right now, donald trump right now 77, and age may be an issue. it is 5:48 and happening in

fairfield, you can play a hand in helping two firefighters battling cancer. fellow firefighters say the two are are being treated for occupational cancer, which can stem from inhaling toxins. today the department is teaming up with a nonprofit, wall of heroes, for a poker night. the fundraiser will be held at the jelly belly factory. firefighters are hoping to raise money for their families. >> it weighs on all of us and it seems unreal to kind of go through that process, but our guys are fighting through it and we hope that this event on friday is going to help the cause and get them going. >> the fundraiser starts at 4:30. dinner is included, with a $65 buy-in. people who can't attend are being encouraged to send in donations. 5:49 right now. trending this morning, a star quarterback helping make one young fan's day. >> but not without the help of her big brother. check this out. >> my sister loves you.

>> well, it happened as josh allen left the practice field yesterday at the buffalo bills training camp. while signing autographs, a young boy called his name not for an autograph, but with a different request. he wanted allen to hug his sister, who is a huge fan. so allen walked over and hugged the girl and she cried tears of excitement. what a signature moment that will not be lost or erased. >> i love when celebrities are people, take the time to be kind to people. that can be such a moment for them. >> also what her brother did, i don't know how he got to josh allen. >> yeah, yeah. >> that's really big of him. >> that can go one way or the other. >> it could. >> that's so sweet. hey, big brother, come on, help me out there. very sweet. well, it's friday, we've been talking about it all week

long, all morning long as well. it's such a big part of this weekend, we're talking about swifty weekend. >> how about this? mike pointed out to me, and i had to get it in here, a beautiful look at the sun right above the clouds moving in through that fog with karl the fog over san francisco. but, otherwise, as we get out the door this morning, typical start to our bay area summer around here. you'll need a jacket in san rafael as we start at 48 degrees. yikes, chilly. but then we have plenty of sunshine coming in your lunchtime hour. the winds are going to pick up as we deal with a battle between low pressure to our north and that heat staying in phoenix and texas over the weekend. as we go through the lunchtime hour, while the sun will be out, it will be breezy, anywhere from 15 miles in san jose to 20 or 25 in san francisco and those wind speeds just continuing to pick up as we go through the day. what are we looking like as far as temperatures? chilly at the coast, 64 in half moon bay. we'll look at 77 in fremont and

90 in fairfield. tomorrow, those numbers bump up just a few degrees. nothing too crazy in the way of a major heat wave. our inland seven-day forecast will hold steady in the upper 80s, low 90s, and cool down as we go into the start of our week. san francisco staying breezy in the 60s. we're going over to mike. >> we thought it would be easy breezy, the crash would clear. there are no major injuries, but there may be a second crash in the backup north 101 approaching mckee. that is an issue. i thought it might ripple over top north 280. not yet. traffic is so light in the south bay and rest of the bay, things are moving nicely. they did just activate the metering lights at the bay bridge. happening now, the mega millions jackpot hits $910 million. tonight's drawing happens at 8:00 p.m. if you win the whole thing, a one-time payment nets you about

right? >> absolutely. on tour, this will get people jumping, too, for those of you who did not get to see beyonce live, you now have a chance to see queen bee in person. at least, sort of. check this out. madametussauda has unveiled a figure of beyonce, dressed in the opening outfit from the 2018 coachella performance. it took a total of 20 people more than six hours to make it. by the way, beyonce brings her renaissance tour again to levi's stadium on august 30th. >> busy. >> a lot of activity. we're talking about celebrities in different roles. this one would be perhaps seen at our house, call of duty. it's getting an upgrade for the 50th anniversary of hip hop. let's tell you about this. you will soon be able to play as

rapper snoop dogg or nicki minaj and there will be characters in season 5 of call of duty, modern warfare 2. call of duty war zone is starting august 2nd. minaj will be the first female character and that could be cool for her. she's been known to battle on the microphone, so that could play into her skills there. rapper 21 savage will also join the squad later. so they're getting some good tie-ins for the 50th anniversary of hip hop. >> interesting. well, if we can't make it to taylor swift this weekend, you want something else to do, how about the movies? you can't go wrong. so a battle at the box office continues, of course we know between who, barbenheimer. experts predict "barbie" will once again come out on top with anywhere from $65 to $85 million. "oppenheimer" is expected to come in second once again with

$35 million to $40 million. the two movies are going up against a new supernatural comedy from disney. >> the house is dripping with souls, but there's always room. >> there you go it. "haunted mountain" inspired by the popular disneyland ride is projected to gross $25 to $35 million. >> i thought that was going to come out closer to halloween. >> they're selling halloween stuff already at the stores. >> that's true, at costco, the big box stores. >> let's not get ahead of ourselves. you can check out what's trending. head to our website, nbcbayarea.com. we've got a trending bar right there at the top of the home page. right now at 6:00, frustrated. feeling unsafe and demanding answers. >> for them to stop me while i'm driving and pull me out of the car at gunpoint, what are we doing to address this? >> emotions boil over during a conference on crime. the public leaders front and center
