the ba" a very good monday morning to you. 5:30 right now. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm scott mcgrew. marcus washington is off. let's start with a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect. >> it's going to be a beautiful

day around the bay area and very normal temperatures, as we go through the last day of july and get ready to welcome in august. we are seeing a mostly clear sky this morning as we see the sun starting to come over the hills in san jose. it will be partly cloudy throughout much of the morning, sunny through late morning into the afternoon, but there will be high clouds still filtering that sunshine as we go into the day with highs up to about 80 degrees. we'll see mid-80s for the tri-valley and some upper 80s for the far north bay, while san francisco will be in the mid-60s. we'll talk about the changes ahead for the rest of the week coming up. mike, you're hearing about a problem on 17. >> i'm worried about the potential for the problem as well coming northbound. this is not going to affect a lot of viewers, but there may be an issue for a disabled big rig, a semi truck with a 40-foot trailer is blocking a northbound lane as you travel from summit road into los gatos. the opposite direction this will be visible, so if there's a

significant amount of equipment we will see some slowing. we'll track that. meanwhile, there is slowing farther back coming into san martin, but it's building, coming into san jose right on schedule. no surprises as you're heading around the bay. good news so far. >> thank you, mike. there was another weekend filled with illegal sideshows across the bay area, now leaders are looking for ways to stop the dangerous street takeovers. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live. good morning, bob. what are police saying? >> reporter: good morning, to you. oakland police tweeted out yesterday they were putting more officers on the street over the weekend in an attempt to stop these illegal sideshows, but in spite of the extra resources, we know of one sideshow that still happened. this video was taken last night. this was at the intersection of park and excelsior in oakland, just one of the locations the group of cars visited throughout the city. you can see why sideshows are so dangerous and illegal. the cars generally take over an intersection, you can see they're burning rubber.

they drive in circles, sometimes they spin out, while people watch from the perimeter. >> i'm a double amputee and the guy almost hit me. just driving by me. they're completely out of control and they don't care about anyone around them. then fireworks are going off, my dog is going nuts. it's uncalled for. there's no reason to have this stuff around here. >> reporter: saturday night police broke up multiple sideshows across the city. here is one sideshow that was blocking the intersection of san felipe road and yerba buena avenue. police say they had limited resources and their focus was on preventing the sideshows and dispersing the crowds. not clear if there were any arrests. you might recall earlier this month alameda county supervisors approved a new ordinance to crack down on sideshows which should go into effect next month

with fines up to $1,000 and six months in jail. you can be cited just for attending a sideshow. some critics argue that the laws unfairly target people of color. in their tweet last night, oakland police pointed out that if you do take part in illegal sideshows, your vehicle can be towed and seized for 30 days. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. a lot of activity out there. 5:33 right now. a mother and daughter are missing in haiti after reportedly being kidnapped last week. now the state department is trying to find them. it's warning others not to go to that country. 31-year-old alex indul, an american nurse and her child, were taken while working for a relief organization in haiti. the two were last seen near port-au-prince. >> we have very deep concern for the situation and we are very

focused on working together with partners to try to help the haitians restore security, restore stability. >> last thursday the state department also ordered evacuations from haiti's u.s. embassy over concerns of violence. according to a u.n. report, gang violence has led to more than 165,000 haitians to leave the country. it's 5:34. the x on top of the san francisco building formerly known as twitter headquarters is shining again this morning. on friday workers turned that light on for the first time, the same day the city opened an investigation into the company for installing that sign without proper approval, and then less than 24 hours after it first lit up it was turned off. but we have video from last night showing the sign back ru. we've reached out to the company now called x and the san francisco department of building inspections about the investigation, but have not heard back. happening today, the city of

san jose teaching street vendors about their rights after a new video surfaces of vendor harassment. san jose city council has partnered with other organizations to host the fair. it all comes days after a video seems to show a security guard kick over a vendor's crate of strawberries outside of a home depot. police are investigating that video. today's session will have workshops on safety, marketing and workers' rights. it will also connect people with other resources to help. it starts at 1:00 at the city hall rotunda. taking a live look at san francisco, a new survey says san francisco is at the top of list of cities that people want to leave, data from real estate company redfin. more than one in four buyers want to leave. people say house prices are a major factor. here is a survey, home buyers looking to get out of new york city, los angeles, washington, d.c. and chicago, and the place they're looking to move to, las vegas is at the top of the list

what our day holds. >> that fog is going to linger for much of the morning and keep temperatures cool in san francisco and also give a lot of the inland areas a bit more protection from that valley heat. as we take a look at palo alto, we're headed from the upper 50s to the upper 60s by late morning. at lunchtime it's 70 degrees and we'll see today's high temperatures for much of the peninsula in the mid-70s. for the south bay it will reach into the low 80s and the tri-valley the mid-80s with a warm afternoon. but it's also going to be basically a repeat of yesterday with mostly cloudy foggy conditions in san francisco, expected to reach 66 degrees and 76 in the east bay. we'll get a look at warmer temperatures ahead in a few minutes. mike, you're tracking a new crash on the nimitz? >> i am. it just happened a short time ago. we see some typical slowing, a build southbound on the nimitz as you head to hayward. that's expected. there's a build coming off the

tri-valley and 580, a build in volume. not dramatic. it's north 880 at 7th, so as you're making the bend, there is a crash reported. not a lot of detail. it's been there for a few minutes and i haven't seen any slowing. we'll continue to track that getting to the bay bridge out of downtown oakland. meanwhile, the bay bridge toll plaza there is a little build in the volume. we should see the metering lights on any second because the volume does look standard. no major problems through the maze. oakland is moving slowly as well. the nimitz north and south past the coliseum, this is the volume heading toward the crash around 7th where we may see slowing. tonight they're going to have the off-ramp from the eastbound direction, the lower deck of the bay bridge at treasure island closed overnight. you'll have to loop back in the westbound direction. it starts at 11:00 p.m., so that shouldn't be a major issue. even for people going to the game for the giants, which will be over here, it starts at 6:45,

and then after the game folks should be able to make it to treasure island before the off-ramp closes at 11:00. >> mike, thanks. more legal woes for former president donald trump. still ahead on "today in the bay," the new charges and possible new indictments he could be facing and how it may impact his run for the white house. plus, fighting fentanyl. the legal push one democratic senator just announced and how they aim to crack

happy monday morning to you. in novato it is 50 degrees and it's a cool morning in the north bay and around the bay area. we will see a gradual warm-up and the early clouds will clear out by about 8:00 to 9:00. the rest of the day is sunny and our temperatures stay mild. eventually we will have some warmer weather coming in. a look at the full microclimate forecast is coming up in a few minutes. and taking a look at the san mateo bridge, we're looking at a nice, easy drive. the fedex truck traveling away from us, cars going at speed. the peninsula equally clear. we'll show you how things are shaping up because there is a build out of the altamont. first,'s check in with rtha. morning. >> hey,ood morning, mike. so good to see you. i'm bertha coombs from cnbc. we've got wall street set for a flat open as the markets wrap up the month today. the dow, s&p 500 are both up out 3r month of july.

the nasdaq isnearly . meantime, the s&p a nasdaq a rack for their fifth straight month ofe gains, amid signst inflation is cng and expectations tha theederal reserill s stop hiking interest rates. in f this week, we get data on the manufacturing and services sectors, we'll get jobless claims, productivity and factory order data, and the big number on friday, the july jobs report. earnings season rolls on with one-third of companies in the s&p 500 reporting, highlighted by apple and amazon on thursday. speaking of apple, the company is promising to fix a bug in phones, ipads and the ipod touch which affects screen time restrictions for kids. the "wall street journal" reports the issue impacts down time, which lets parents remotely set hours when kids cannot use their devices. parents are finding that the

scheduled times have reverted to older settings or are gone altogether. apple previously said that it would fix the issue within the update to ios 16 back in may, but in later releases and even in the beta version of 17 it's still not fixed. best place to retire, apparently, is iowa. a new survey from bank rate finds that the hawkeye state ranks high in areas such as affordability, cost of living, crime levels and the quality of cost of health care, bumping out florida from the top spot this year. it's followed by delaware, west virginia, missouri and mississippi in the top five. bankrate says that's that were once popular, florida, georgia, and arizona, have seen the cost of living go up a lot and the housing markets there have become competitive, making it unaffordable for a lot of folks, particularly if you're on a fixed income. california, not surprisingly,

when it comes to the economics, is near the bottom, in 48th place, much like new york. but it's not just about the numbers. you want to think about are you going to be close to family, how much it would cost you to travel, and also you want to have friends around you, too. >> very important. especially as you age. >> i will say iowa, i went to school in iowa. iowa is a nice place. >> what about winter? >> not in the winter, though. >> what's that? >> iowa in the winter -- >> fair enough. >> not california, bertha. >> thank you. well, as your kids get ready to go to school, we are reminded of the pressures that they face to go to a good college. we turned to a local financial adviser to get advice on how to pick the right school.

you should be skeptical of college rankings. it's important to consider the graduation rate and rethink elite schools that are expensive. we're told to also consider sending your student to junior college for the first two years. >> when people graduate from high school they're 17 or 18 years old, they may not be as mature at that point. so a couple years at a junior college will help you figure out how to study, what major you want to go into. ideally if you can graduate from a junior college at a very low cost rather than a four-year institution, you're only going to be there two years. >> go to the college scorecard remember site, which can a good impartial resource. it can help students explore

their careers. we'll have that link at nbcbayarea.com. big bucks at the box office. the double feature that's proven to be more than a one-week phenomenon. >> seven days after its opening, "barbie" took in $93 million. it's a tally at $175 million. "barbie" surpasses "the dark knight" as the highest grossing movie for the first 11 days in theatre. "oppenheimer" remains in second place with more than $46 million in ticket sales over the weekend. the two movies have already combined surpassed a billion worldwide. extraordinary. i did see "barbie." i liked it very much. could have used a little editing, maybe. >> you had to give ken some scenes, too. >> enjoyable, that's good. was there any pink in it? >> no, not even a little.

>> there's some. >> it's funny because you were saying your wife has seen it, you've seen it, and no one has seen "oppenheimer" here. >> i need an afternoon off so i can see the whole movie. we're going to have some great weather as we get this week started, the last day of july and we're getting ready to head into august. here is a live look outside in dublin, ae start out with our usuall morning and then we'll see temperatures gradually hours.g over the next sev the big main sto nationwide has been theat, w phoenix reaching 30 days of temperatures over 110 degrees. today it looks like we're going to break that streak, thanks to some monsoon rain and it's going to reach 106 today. still brutally hot and humid, but we're going to see the

record going down in the books as we continue to talk about the southwestern heat. and then around the bay area it's been nice and mild. we have temperatures in the 60s near the coast, some mid to upper 80s for many of the inland areas and a few spots reaching the low 90s. san martin today reaching 91 while napa will see a high of 78. tomorrow it's going to be even cooler for much of us, low to mid-70s. the ocean breeze will be present as we head into the next several days. low 80s on wednesday. we are going to have a midweek cooldown. there's going to be a big spike in temperatures that happens very quickly as we go through the next few days.
