[ laughter ] >> i thought you were going to say something grandiose there. >> i thought i was going to be a little bougie. no, good morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. let's start out with green right now. kari hall has a look at our forecast. >> we'll call it a terrific tuesday. it's still going to be very warm and we're starting out humid this morning, as we head to

santa rosa. right now it's cloudy, 65 degrees. it's going to be a fairly mild start to the day. no jacket needed because it's going to warm up, and actually shape up to be a pretty nice day. we'll reach up to about 80 in santa rosa, oakland 77 degrees. these numbers are cooler than normal, but it doesn't feel that way because of the high humidity. we're still watching out, also, for the chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorms. as the humidity drops, temperatures head up. for tomorrow, it's going to be in some spots about 10 degrees hotter. look at martinez tomorrow, reaching 95 degrees. so we'll talk more about this and what's ahead in the full forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> sounds good. we'll check back with you. new overnight. transit police on the peninsula are investigating a deadly accident involving a caltrain. it happened a little after 11:00 last night when a train struck someone on the tracks near the

belmont station. no passengers onboard the train were injured. as the investigation continues, no further dailsetave been released at this time. president biden back in lake tahoe for his vacation following a brief visit to maui. new resources head to the fire zone. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell is live at oakland airport. this really is about first responders going that extra mile to help those in maui. >> reporter: it is. good morning to you, marcus and laura. later this morning at least ten firefighters from the san francisco fire department will depart oakland international behind me for maui to go to the island to help with the wildfire relief efforts. what's remarkable is it's our understanding these firefighters are volunteering their time to do this. this is something they're doing off shift. yesterday president biden and first lady jill biden, as you mentioned, visited maui to survey the damage caused by those wildfires.

biden acknowledged the long road ahead but reiterated the federal government will continue to assist in recovery, sheltering and rebuilding efforts. some have criticized the biden administration's response, including the initial $700 critical needs payments given to cover necessities like food and water and medicine. >> it's a huge slap in the face. >> people lost their homes, they lost their town, they lost family members, and so it's not for me to try to invalidate someone's frustration. i can tell you that i've never seen such a robust federal response. >> reporter: there are now at least 115 confirmed deaths from the maui wildfires, and first responders continue to search for more than 800 people who remain missing. now, it is not clear if those missing people, if they perished, or if they have just not been able to reach out to their family and friends to let them know they're okay. reporting live here at oakland

international, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> certainly a tough time. so good to see so many people coming in to help out. thanks so much. happening today, disgraced crypto king sam bankman-fried due back in court for arraignment on a new indictment tied to fraud and conspiracy charges. it comes after a judge ruled the ftx founder can meet with his attorneys for five and a half hours today. his lawyers recently requested they be allowed to meet with him five days a week to prepare for his october 2nd trial. the judge has set a deadline of tomorrow for his legal team to provide more information on those meetings. this will be his first court appearance since the judge revoked his bail 11 days ago for allegedly tampering with a witness. parents, students and staff at one south bay high school, they are calling for peace following recent violence on campus. the latest incident happened just last thursday. police say several teenagers not associated with san jose's james

lick high school, came onto the campus. two students were stabbed. both are expected to survive. one teacher later posting on social media days before that stabbing a group of teens and adults came to the campus and attacked two students and two staff members. at a community gathering last night, organizers prepared an altar to pray and provide offerings in exchange for peace. >> to know that we're together and we're not alone, that's what really just guts my heart. >> this is what tonight is about, is to show that connection that the kidsav h and how important it is for us that our kids are connected to their history, culture and who they are. >> police have not made any arrests in connection with those stabbings, but the principal says the school is taking steps to improve security along the perimeter gates and they have also hired an additional campus guard. new this morning, a warning to anyone heading to costco in redwood city. police are receiving multiple reports of theft in the parking lot. police say last week a man was approached by a woman who gave

him kiss on the cheek. soon after, the victim realized the suspect had stolen his necklace. earlier this month, a woman was approached by a woman selling fake jewelry. while doing so, the suspect actually stole her real gold necklace. police are investigating both cases. police emphasize that this is a common type of robbery, often directed at the elderly. the public is encouraged to be mindful of their belongings when being approached by strangers. happening today, a new push to get california to expand from three paid sick days to seven each year. supporters of senate bill 616 will hold a virtual rally later today. right now opponents like the california chamber of commerce argue most businesses can't afford seven days. but supporters say the chamber has supported a similar bill pro posing expanding to five sick days a year. also today, opponents will rally outside of san francisco city hall to halt the proposed

expansion of parking meter hours. transit leaders last spring first approved a plan to expand monday through saturday enforcement until 10:00 p.m. this is instead of the current 6:00 p.m. it would also expand metering to sundays. city supervisors later voted to delay that plan pending the economic impact study, the results of which are due next month. new video toho s you this morning of the latest spacex launch, a falcon 9 rocket lifted aup this morning from vandenberg sports base on the central coast. it's carrying 21 starling satellites which provide internet service to dozens of countries around the world. let's take a live look outside this tuesday morning. looks like folks are up and out and about. this is a look at 280 near 17. kari has a look at our forecast for this morning. >> it feels very humid. i mean, that's been the running theme here ever since sunday, when we saw the moisture from

the remnants of hilary moving in. and we still have this low off the coast that's drawing in that moisture across the region, so yesterday we had quite a few showers and thunderstorms develop, but luckily we didn't have any lightning strikes close by home. as we wake up and head out, we are seeing the layer of clouds overhead as we continue with that tropical moisture. then we're also going to see times of sunshine, increasing sun as we go throughout the day, with our morning start in the upper 60s. we're headed for the low 80s and it's going to be much nicer, much more comfortable later today, with a high of about 82 degrees. upper 80s expected for livermore and concord, 89 in morgan hill. for the north bay, expect upper 70s and low 80s. tomorrow the big story will be how much hotter it's going to be in the inland valleys. even san francisco will be warmer with highs in the mid-70s. in san mateo expect it to reach 82 degrees, and upper 80s for hayward, with the tri-valley

reaching into the mid-90s. on the roads the major issue has been the bay bridge. we've seen it flowing very slowly, and at least now it is moving, but there is an accident at the treasure island on-ramp, and even thepproach to the bay bridge toll plaza is barely moving. if you can, take an alternate route, do so. the san mateo bridge is moving and i haven't seen any accidents. hopefully it stays that way. as we get a look around the bay area, no major accidents except for the one clearing, they did have to close a lane for a few minutes to get things picked up at the treasure island off-ramp. but as of now, it's just slow moving across the area. we've also seen in parts of the east bay, once again, green sensors, everything is moving well, looking at the bridge drive times it has really stacked up. the bay bridge is doing the worst at about 21 minutes. i'll have another update coming up in a few minutes. >> looking forward to it. 6:09 ritgh now. call it a video game takeover,

arm is an interesting company. i interviewed the then-ceo on our program quite a few years ago. i'll post that to my social media if you would like to know more about arm. the thing to know now is it's going to be a big ipo. we don't know prices yet, but big. and it's been a long time since i've said big ipo. should come in september. new data from the new york fed shows americans are demanding more money to take a job. on average, almost $79,000 minimum. the minimum is what economists call the reservation wage. now, the reservation wage, the lowest number to take a job on average, $78,645, up from $73,000 a year ago, $69,000 two years ago. so you can see workers are reacting to inflation. when you break down the latest average, you find men demand more money than women. the new york fed says the average reservation wage for an

american m was $91,000. $66,000 for women. member, this is the average of the average of the average, it's going to be higher in high-cost living areas and lower in low-cost living areas and lower for non-college graduates. but when you put all of those numbers together, that's the figure you get. >> interesting to see. >> it is. >> thank you, scott. new this morning, microsoft proposing a new deal to try to win final approval for its takeover of gamemaker activision blizzard. the company says activision will sell streaming rights to its against to the maker of popular titles like assassin's creed and far cry. microsoft would also not be able to release activision games exclusively on its own xbox cloud gaming service or exclusively control the licensing terms of those games for rival services. uk is the only regulator to block the $69 billion deal. trending this morning,

something generating a lot of social media heat, fyre festival 2 tickets are on sale. >> you may remember the promoter, billy mcfarland, made the announcement on youtube. let's just say there is still a lot of holes to be filled. for one, there is no musical lineup just yet or even an exact date or location. back in 2007, his luxury music festival on a private island quickly went sideways and ended up a disaster there, just really bad with food, security and a accommodation issues. eventually, he was convicted of wire fra and was released from prison just last year. but maybe all that won't stop you from buying a ticket to the new event. ticket prices range from $500 to $8,000. >> whoa. >> if you've never seen the documentary, it's really interesting. >> maybe the creators and people who are really into the documentary will be the first ones to buy those tickets. they'll be like, you know what,

let's see how this turns out. >> or you'll think, i'm not putting my money there. >> you would think you won't make the same mistake twice. >> i don't know. >> we'll see. >> second time around may be better. >> we're staying close to home, at least today. >> maybe they'll have it at treasure island or something. >> now kari is making her own festival. we're going to have some nice weather today. it feels humid out there. we've had the high humidity since the weekend, but we're also getting some drifts of wildfire smoke that's comin down from oregon and affecting our air quality here locally. so for the north bay, the coast, we're all pretty much going to see moderate air quality. yesterday the north bay was kind of a little bit more of the focus, but it is kind of spreading out. we're seeing that. as we also had some rain yesterday afternoon, a lot of thunderstorms over parts of the sierra and some of the upper elevations. we had some rain moving through, but now things have quieted down, as this low spins off the

coast. it's still drawing in moisture from the south and southwest. our temperatures will reach into the upper 70s for today, oakland headed for 77 degrees. it will be 88 in los gatos today. there still will be upper 80s this afternoon, but tomorrow we'll be talking about the heat. for the inland valleys, it will be in the mid to upper 90s, fairfield reaching 97 degrees. and in some spots it will be about 10 degrees hotter compared to what we'll see today. and still pretty warm on thursday as well, with novato headed for 90 degrees. we're seeing this area of low pressure to the north, as we mentioned, kind of drawing in that moisture. every now and then it does get close enough to give us more of an ocean breeze. but then as it drifts farther to the north, there's less of an influence and then our temperatures start to head up. this is what it looks like over the next seven days, with upper 80s and then upper 90s for tomorrow, as well as thursday. friday, those temperatures start to come back down as we get the

usual marine layer coming in. our morning clouds and afternoon sunshine. it's not going to be a bad weekend. we're going to see a spread in temperatures of about 20 degrees from san francisco into the inland areas. let's get you ready for the roads this morning, because we have a smooth flow of traffic moving through oakland. everything is looking good there. but the bay bridge has been the main problem. now i'm starting to see things flowing a lot better, at least across the span. you're still going to have to wait at the bay bridge toll plaza where we're seeing the backup after the metering lights were turned on. and the san mateo bridge is also looking good, earlier this morning i saw some lights coming across. but we haven't seen any major backups here, and hopefully it stays that way. so people are moving across the bridges. now the issue is in the south coun as you move through san martin. there's a three-vehicle major injury accident there, and so we are seeing it backing up with the red sensors from san martin to morgan hill. so we'll keep an eye on all of

that. elsewhere, things are starting to get a little better here for the bay bridge. back to you. >> thank you, kari. a lot of kids already back to school, a lot of parents may be wondering, how can i help my child head back to school? coming up on "today in the bay," the advice experts say you can utilize when it comes to your kids' mental health and the steps you can take to help put words into action. and a reminder that the xfinity u.s. gymnastics championship kicks off thursday at the s.a.p. center. we're going to have live team coverage for you starting thursday morning on "today in the bay," and of course throughout the weekend. you can watch the action saturday on cnbc, then sunday you can watch right here on nbc bay area. we'll have coverage at 9:00 a.m. and again at 7

improvements. new this morning, if you're worried about your child's mental health as they head back to school, you're certainly not alone. a new harris poll finds nearly eight in ten parents believe their kids will face some sort of challenge as they head back to school. 44% are concerned about their child's safety. one-third worrying about bullying and about the same amount are concerned about ongoing issues related to the pandemic. even if your child does not seem worried or scare, experts recommend you talk to them daily and encourage them to open up about their feelings and emotions. >> the difference between stress in kids and stress with adults is that stress with kids tends to be a lot about not knowing what's going to happen. with adults, we've had a lot of life experiences, so we kind of know what to expect. with children, sometimes it's their first time going to school, it's their first time being in a classroom because of covid, it's their first time doing a lot of things. a lot of it is not knowing what to expect and being afraid that

they're going to mess up, because they don't know what to expect. >> if your child is younger and apprehensive about going to school, they say set some expectations. print out a schedule of what their day will look like, and if you can, familiarize them with the campus and walk them to their classrooms before the school year starts. happening tonight, the live shows of "america's got talent" will begin on nbc. eight weeks of auditions produced 55 acts who advanced to this round. 11 will perform tonight. only two will advance to next month's finale based on viewer votes. earlier this spring, howie mandel talked about the nerves the acts will no doubt feel. >> listen, i'm nervous, i live nervous. that is the fuel. but sometimes nerves can make you rise to the occasion and they can also crush you under the moment. so i'm fascinated by anybody and i have empathy for anybody that walks on that stage. >> "america's got talent" airs tonight right here on nbc bay

change across san francisco after the tragic crash that took the life of a 4-year-old girl. the new push being made tonight to boost pedestrian safety. and we've got rain, moisture, so you might be wondering, maybe we won't have such a bad fire season. we're going to talk with kari and show you what the fire experts have to say about that. you're watching "today in the bay." >> 6:30. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we have so much to get to, but we're getting started with the forecast. meteorologist kari hall has been monitoring that and you say today is going to be humid. >> yes, it starts out muggy, but the good thing is the humidity is going to leave us for a little bit and we're still keeping mild weather today. as we get a look at our commute, as you head out in gilroy, temperatures are in the low 60s and it's going to clear out fairly quickly as we go throughout the morning and our temperatures warming up slowly, headed for the low 80s by 1:00

this afternoon. in morgan hill, expect it to be 89 degrees. that's one of our warmer spots, compared to mostly 70s and low 80s. fremont reaching 82 degrees and 71 in san francisco. we're going to see tomorrow's temperatures ramping up, so i'll have more on that coming up in a few minutes. >> we'll check back with you, kari. new developments in san francisco after the death of a 4-year-old girl, struck by a car near oracle park. leaders now calling for change. >> "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab in our newsroom. this is such a tragic story. leaders want to make sure it never happens again. >> that's right, laura and marcus. it's been one week since the death of a 4-year-old girl involved in a fatal crash just blocks away from oracle park in san francisco. that family still coping wh unbearable loss, while sympathizers and advocates have brought attention to the safety of that particular intersection and other high-injury streets in the city. this is the intersection of 4th and king where the crash took

place. has not given many details about the crash, but a witness told nbc bay area last week that a family was crossing the street when a gray mercedes suv hit the dad and the 4-year-old girl he was pushing in the stroller. the girl was brought to the hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. since then, advocacy groups like walk sf have really made a push for changes to this specific intersection, as well as other parts of the city that have high-injury streets. the mayor's office and city agencies have taken notice. yesterday the mayor released a statement outlining possible changes to that intersection, including the removal of one southbound right turn lane, leaving only one lane for vehicles to turn across the sidewalk instead of what exists, which is now two. also, a change to the traffic signal so that drivers see a yellow arrow instead of just a green light. that arrow would reinforce the requirement for drivers to yield to pedestrians. now, sfpd says the driver in

that crash, a 71-year-old, was arrested and crgedha on three counts of failure to yield to pedestrians and a charge of vehicular manslaughter. tonight a memorial and a rally is scheduled at the plaza next to the caltrain station at 4th and king. organizers hope to create a memorial and will rally and push for this change for that busy intersection. those who help to attend are being asked to bring stuffed animals, as well as a stroller for solidarity. >> hope that never happens again. ginger, thank you. alameda county authorities are asking the public for their help in the wake of a recent port of oakland fire that spread smoke across the bay area. it happened two weeks ago at the metal recycling plant and it took firefighters nearly a full day to clear that fire. prosecutors are now asking anyone who may have any evidence or leads regarding that fire to come forward. in the days after the fire, air

regulators issued two violations against the metal company. cleaning up only just beginning in southern california. this is following the record rainfall from tropical storm hilary. >> we're getting a look at some of the storm damage. there's drone video over cathedral city. take a look at that. flooded and muddy neighborhoods. so far, no reports of deaths or serious injuries tied to the storm. some people who live there will certainly face a long road to clean up. one person east of los angeles says a mudslide narrowly missed her home. >> last year was hard, this year is really tough. so now i wonder what the heck is going to happen, you know, next. so hopefully we don't have this much weather and we can all get back on our feet. >> this is new video from las vegas, another place with widespread flooding. experts say hilary may rank among the wettest tropical cyclones ever recorded. new images show the

aftermath of a rough landing in southerncalifornia, this is during the height of the storm on sunday. the plane from seattle landed at john wayne airport in orange county. its left wing hit the ground hard. the airline only says the plane experienced an issue soon after landing. none of the 106 passengers onboard and six crew members were injured and they were transported by bus to the terminal. the storm did send some bay area firefighters south to try to help with water rescues and flooding emergencies. parts of the bay area received some rare august rain. you may wonder, is fire season over before it even started? >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is here with what did experts are saying. >> the overall consensus is hilary just put a pause on the fire season, didn't stop it, not just southern california, but up and down the state. the firefighters deployed to southern california with the urban search and rescue operations to help with rescues

and also damage assessment at a time they're usually on fire watch. same for some marin county firefighters who found themselves in bakersfield. when they get back, they will switch right back to fire gear, because as the marin county fire chief and the cal fire division chief say, fire season is still very much on. >> southern california, as you know, is notorious for having santa ana winds late in the year, and those hot, dry winds can find fuels, even green vegetation. >> i think it put a halftime on fire season in southern california, but little impact on the coast from monterey north. >> even farther than monterey north, consider up toward the california/oregon border there's been little to no rain at all and the fog drip is not happening, so things are very dry. there have been 27 lightning-sparked fires, and about 28,000 acres burned. meteorologist kari hall knows all too well that wet weather

and fire atwer can coexist. >> yeah, because not everyone is getting the same amount of rainfall. lately we've seen parts of northern california remaining dry, then when we compare how many acres have burned now compared to last year at this time, we're actually ahead of what we saw last year. remember, last year we were in a drought, we were talking about how dry things were. so we've had more acres burn this year after all of that rain than last year at this point, and the average, we are still below that, but of course we know that, really, wildfire season doesn't get started until october. so here we are in august saying, okay, will things change? and we know that, also, we are no longer in a widespread drought across california. things have improved significantly. but we've also had a lot of storms, which spark some fires due to lightning. so that is also another concern, something that could be an igniter for these fires. >> wenow k the rain often helps those little small grasses grow

that dry out really fast, but at this time of year there's also the consideration that the water has nowhere to go. >> right. during our dry summer months the ground hardens and our native california plants go dormant. so they are not really readily available to just soak up whatever water comes our way. when we get heavy rain fauls like we saw in southern california, it just runs off. that's why we saw so many mudslides and it runs downll. so those little fuels we're looking at are not there to really absorb that water that's coming down and to hold the ground tight. so we do still have a lot of concerns here. as we mentioned, we still have several more months to go of fire season. >> it was a nice thought. >> it's a nice thought, but at this point topical systems don't really help us out much. we take a look to the north where there's a lot of fires burning and it's affecting air quality today. let's get a look at our air quality map, as we've seen smoke

drifting down from those oregon fires. there's also so many fires burning in canada. right now we do have a weather setup that is drawing that smoke directly into the bay area and giving us some smoke at the same time that we've had some rain moving through. and things will start to dry out over the next couple of days. we're going to see our temperatures warming up. today we're headed for the upper 80s in the inland valleys, while our coastal areas will be in the upper 60s. tomorrow we'll head for the upper 90s. so we'll talk more about this coming up. i want to give you a look at the commute this morning as you're getting ready to step out the door. we are seeing things looking good in oakland, as well as the tri-valley, as you're traveling on 580. there is a slow go as you move toward the bay bridge toll plaza and the san mateo bridge is starting to slow down. what is this car doing? okay, we'll see how people are driving this morning. it is traffic tuesday. things usually start to slow down a bit. back to you. >> stay in line. you learn that in kindergarten,

going to see a slight chance of storms. more on that and some heat ahead in a few minutes. as you get ready to head out on the roadways, it is slowing down on the san mateo bridge. in fact, a lot of the roadways are starting to back up as we get more traffic and people out the door. we'll see if there's any incidents on the roads in the full report coming up. you may want to brace for higher pg&e bills. tility is awaiting state approval for the rate increase to help pay to bury power lines across northern california. this is all part of the utility's ongoing effort to preven fture wildfires. mercury news is reporting that regulators may issue a final decision in the coming days. opponents argue there are cheaper ways to boost fire safety, including insulating exposed power lines. striking hollywood actors and writers plan to mark a national day of solidarity with picketing in the bay area. talks with striking writers picked up last week but

"people" magazines cites sources close to the couple saying that they have welcomed a second baby. their son is 15 months old and you may remember rihanna revealed her second pregnancy during the super bowl halftime performance. so far there's no official comment and we don't know a name. >> and we haven't seen the baby yet. >> but we're told it's here. let's check the forecast

with meteorologist kari hall. the humidity is here a little bit, too. >> it is. we haven't been able to shake it. we've had high humidity since post-tropical hilary started to move in, and all of the clouds. yesterday we had some showers sparking up in parts of the bay area, and this morning it just still feels really muggy. but that low that's bringing in all of that moisture is still off the coast, so we're going to keep it for a little while longer, eventually the humidity will be dropping and martinez will start out with some mid-60s, and then as we go throughout the day, we're going to see the sky clearing and our temperatures gradually warming up. we're only headed for mostly mid to upper 80s for the inland areas and we have this low off the coast that moves a little closer. with its counterclockwise wind, it brings in more of an ocean breeze and cooler temperatures. when it starts retreating back farther to the north, our temperatures heat up. that's what we're looking at over the next several days.

so our high is going from upper 80s today to lower humidity, but then some mid to upper 90s tomorrow. it's going to be hot for a couple of days, but the weekend not so bad. it's about average, what we usually see f this time in august, with our valley temperatures in the upper 80s, and we'll have a big range in temperatures. so san francisco will come back to the upper 60s, as we get the clouds and the fog coming back near the coastline. in the near term, we're looking at some warmer weather for the middle of the week. as we get out on the roads, i wanted to show you a live view of 580 cing omrough dublin where we've seen a smooth flow of traffic, no major incidents there. looking at palo alto, heading northbound in the commute direction, also, looking great there. of course, the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza, they turned on the metering lights about an hour and 20 minutes ago, so we're just seeing a slow go there. earlier there was also an accident at the treasure island off-ramp, so that slowed down

parts of the bay bridge. but elsewhere, we are just seeing the smooth flow of traffic, our usual slow spots on a tuesday. but as we look around the bay area, a couple of minor incidents popping up, but nothing that's really slowing things down. looking at the bay bridge drive time, it's about 20 minutes to get across, which is what we've seen for the past hour. the richmond bridge takes about 12 minutes, and then through the tri-valley it is slowing down on westbound 84, so that takes about 18 minutes. i'll keep an eye on all of this and another update in a few minutes. >> we'll check back with you, kari. 6:51 right now. happening now, the city of hayward rolling out a new program providing people who live there financial help to boost their education and training skills. it's called the learn to earn tuition assistance program. the city recently introduced it. it offers micro grants of up to $2,000 for people to update their job skills at cal state

welcome back. we're moving you forward with a look at our top stories on "today in the bay." >> we begin with breaking news just into our newsroom. disgraced crypto king sam bankman-fried has just entered a not guilty plea to new fraud and conspiracy charges. this was his first appearance in court since the judge revoked his bail 11 days ago for allegedly tampering with witnesses. and it comes after his attorneys recently requested they be allowed to meet with him five days a week as they prepare for his october 2nd trial. transit police on the peninsula are investigating a deadly accident involving a caltrain. it happened a little after 11:00 last night when a train struck someone on the tracks near the belmont station. no passengers onboard the train were injured. as the invesgatiti continues, no further details are being released at this time. a live look this morning at oakland airport where later this

morning ten san francisco firefighters -- this is video we have from the president in maui. the firefighters will be departing to maui to help with wildfire relief efforts. the team is volunteering their time to help fire victims. yesterday president biden and the first lady visiting maui to survey that damage. the president says the federal government will continue to assist in that recovery, sheltering, as well as building efforts. new calls for change in san francisco, after the death of a young girl near oracle park. it happened last week at 4:00 and king streets. the driver now facing charges. a witness told nbc bay area an suv hit the 4-year-old girl and her father as he was pushing her in a stroller. yesterday the mayor outlined possible changes endorsed by safety advocates, including the removal of a southbound right turn lane and change to the traffic signals. a memorial and rally is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. today at the nearby caltrain plaza.

opponents will rally outside of san francisco city hall to halt the proposed expansion of parking meter hours. transit leaders last spring approved expanding monday through saturday enforcement until 10:00 p.m. instead of the current 6:00 p.m., along with sunday metering, which is currently free. supervisors later voted to delay the plan, pending an economic imct study. those results are expected to be due next month. quickly approaching 7:00. let's take a peek outside near the golden gate bridge. a little hazy out there. kari has a look at our final forecast. >> our temperatures are warmer to start and we're headed for the upper 80s for the inland valleys. once the humidity drops tomorrow, the skies clr,ea it's going to be hot with upper 90s. so we'll see a quick spike in pts the, but it does come back down in temperatures for the weekend and in san francisco we'll see temperatures warming up. more sunshine, upper 70s for tomorrow and thursday. the weekend is looking pretty

nice with upper 60s going into saturday and sunday. out there on the roadshis t morning, here is a live look outside in oakland. haven't seen any major issues. let's hope it stays that way, because usually on tuesdays we see more people heading into the office. and it looks pretty good on the bay bridge, after an early-morning accident on the treasure island on-ramp. then we look at the san mateo bridge that is moving very slowly, but this is the usual commute direction. just now starting to see a couple of accidents there. hopefully that doesn't affect the overall commute. we've also seen it slowing down on the bay bridge. it takes about 20, 25 minutes to get across. then we're also seeing it slowing down in our usual commute directions, the typical spots we see for the tri-valley. >> take it easy if you're headed out the door. the "today" show starts now and "today in the bay" continues now live on roku, samsung tv, or
