a look at the forecast. cinthia pimentel is in for kari. >> we're looking at another warm day, but it will also be mixed in with hazy sunshine. we're getting used to this pattern. i'm not sure if i like it. let's start off overlooking san jose. a beautiful start, the sunrise there. a little chilly. might want to bring along a cardigan or something light, but this afternoon, a hat, sunscreen and lots of water. we'll warm things up. we'll keep our eyes on a potential fire weather watch that could also bring about a shift in the winds and more wildfire smoke into the bay area. i'll guide you through when the timing of that is expected. for now, mike is going to guide you through lane changes on the bay bridge. i'll guide you to the backup. we're looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. there's some avenues on the outer lanes that are a little less crowded.

the metering lights are on and we get backed up because of the metering lights, as well as losing about half the lanes. the buildup has been pretty gradual over the last 20 minutes, but we do see the berkeley curve with slowing. you can stay moving, but you're going into richmond with brake tapping there. there may be a new crash near the carquinez bridge. i'll check the chp reports. highway 4 does show slowing coming into concord and we now have 33 minutes from pittsburg to walnut creek. back to you. >> thanks, mike. this morning, breaking news out of san francisco, a police shooting in the tenderloin. this video is from citizen app showing the aftermath. it happened about 10:30 last night on jones street near golden gate theatre. police say a man armed with a knife was threatening people and officers fired when he ignored to drop the weapon. the suspect suffered life-threatening injuries. bob redell is following the

investigation and he's going to have a live report in about 30 minutes. the fate of some san francisco schools may hang in the balance today as district leaders introduce a possible plan to close campuses. teachers and community members argue the district needs to take a better look at how it's managing finances. >> kris sanchez is in the newsroom and this is being billed as a workshop. there's serious issues in play. >> reporter: right, school closures are not on the formal list of discussion items, but a number of proposals related to declining enrollment certainly are. san francisco unified superintendent matt wayne wants the board to allow him to take action to create a better staffing model and run schools and classrooms at full capacity. he wants to be able to restructure district-wide services and to find ways to leverage district properties, also create a criteria for mergers, school co-locations and closures based on current and projected enrollment. a coalition of teachers, staff and parents say the biggest problem is itself and how it

manages its finances. they say the district is too heavy on administrators and that they paid too much money for a botched payroll system, because of which, some maintenance workers are still waiting for $1.1 million in back pay. parents say their kids are getting caught in the middle. >> the insult to injury is our members are still owed money, not from last month, not from last week, but from october of 2021. >> because of the way the district has managed their schools, people don't want to send their kids there. >> falling enrollment is one point in the superintendent's 46-page presentation for the board, which will come up tonight. it will also cover projected deficits and staffing shortages, up to 15% in classrooms and 25% in nutrition services. the board's statement says the public will be included in the discussion along the way. we suspect it will be a loud discussion. >> no doubt. thanks for the details, kris.

here is a live look in san francisco. there's a new twist in the firestorm of controversy set off by what had been billed as a doom loop walking tour. the creator of the tour has resigned from his job at city hall. the canceled tour had been promised as a way to show the city's not so glamorous side. until yesterday, the creator's identity was unknown, but it turns out it was offered by alex ludlum and he stepped down from the city's commission on community investment and infrastructure. in his resignation announcement, ludlum called the whole thing satire. mayor london breed called it an error in judgment. we spoke with someone who actually owns a company called tenderloin walking tours, who says satire is not needed right now. >> we're in a very serious epidemic, we're in a very serious crisis. we don't need this political football going back and forth across the field while we're dealing with tyrone and sheila laying on the damn ground.

>> the identity of the poster became known when people demanded refunds for the canceled tour and ludlum's email address was included in the refund notice. a former police officer fired following a deadly shooting may soon be back on the job. the vallejo police officer was fired for shooting sean monterrosa outside of a walgreens on june 2020 during the george floyd protests. officers were responding to reports of looting when police claim the officer mistook a hammer in monterrosa's sweatshirt for a gun. a formal investigation was never conducted, but a third-party review did lead to his termination. that reportedly has been overturned in arbitration. vallejo police have not issued a comment. happening today, a hearing is set to take place surrounding a cold case in mountain view. in 1992, the 25-year-old was found dead in her car. the hope used to kill her still around her neck. new forensic technology has allowed prosecutors to bring charges against a bay area tech

executive named john woodward. last week a judge ruled to dismiss the case. the motion to stay hearing gets under way at 9:00 this morning. a live look in orlando, florida, this morning, where people are bracing for the arrival of hurricane idalia. right now it's churning north of cuba with a potential to become a category 3 when it makes landfall tomorrow. some 13 million people across florida now are under tropical storm or hurricane alerts. governor ron desantis declared emergency executive orders in 46 counties, with mandatory evacuation orders and school closures already issued. tampa international airport closed overnight ahead of the storm to give those workers time to secure jet bridges and equipment. right now the airport is set to reopen thursday, but that could all change depending on that storm. we want to bring in cinthia pimentel. we know it could change direction at any moment. >> at any moment, with the waters, the winds, anything is fair game.

and really the key message is that people heed these warnings and get out on time. right now it's seeing a lot of heavy rain over havana, key west, as it inches closer. as we go into the next couple of hours, strong, sustained winds at around 100 miles an hour. category 3 by the time it makes landfall, later overnight into wednesday, right around cedar key is looking like most of that area where the storm will be concentrated. here is what we can expect as we go through this storm. the early wednesday landfall, overnight hours, makes it very difficult for people to see what's coming with the storm. but i can tell you the gulf waters are very warm, upwards of 80, 90 degrees. that makes a lot of energy for the storm. that's going to bring about life-threatening storm surge, possibly 8 to 12 feet, and that seems to be the deadliest when we do have hurricanes that we're watching. heavy rain is also possible around the big bend area of florida, 6 to 10 inches,

possibly even higher, if they see thunderstorms or tornadoes. we're going to keep an eye not only on the high amounts of rain in florida, but what's happening here, lack of rain and a potential for some fire weather concerns. for now, mike is helping you get around with some cheaper gas prices. before you fill up, check these prices. the lows are rising, unfortunately. santa clara county's low is now $4.59. we'll point out great gas on grant road in mountain view. $4.69 is the low for alameda county. livermore star gas and mart on portola avenue. $4.79 is the best for san francisco, the 76 on ocean avenue across from city college of san francisco. thank you all for reporting through gasbuddy.com. on the roadways we have a pretty smooth drive, we are looking at the build, traditional on the eastshore freeway through richmond and also berkeley. i've circled the crash that i talked about just before you get to the carquinez bridge.

we do have a crash. it sounds like things are getting to the right shoulder without a major issue. still more slowing for 37, highway 4, the bay bridge toll plaza. the roads to the toll plaza are moving smoothly. we have almost 20 minutes from highway 4 to the bay bridge, including the berkeley curve. the golden gate bridge, a smooth drive, more company heading south across to the city. an ongoing battle coming to a close. military service members say faulty ear plugs caused them to lose their hearing. this morning we're going to talk about the details on a long-awaited settlement. does it make more sense to rent or buy? a lot of renters do wonder. we'll have the numbers. speaking of numbers, after a big win on wall street yesterday, it looks like some money coming off the table. have you ever sat next to a crying baby on a long flight or maybe have a kid kicking at your seat? one airline now brainstorming a change. the new adult-only feature they're testing that's getting a

lot of attention. we'll see what side of the plane you'll be sitting you'll be sitting on

at $406 billion. something smells fine in denmark, and it is money. the white house just released a list of drugs medicare will now pay less for. ten in all. this takes effect in 2016. farxiga, eliquis, jardiance, xarelto, januvia, stelara, novolog. i spoke with somebody in the industry who represents the people who invest millions in pharmaceuticals. he says drugmakers are concerned smaller profits will leave them with less money for research. >> which may mean that pharmaceutical companies choose not to be in this market or they may choose not to develop a drug for the american market, and we've already seen some companies make some tough decisions because the economics under this new system make no

sense. and so we face the inevitable choice of fewer medicines available in order to achieve some cost savings. a new study from a research firm take a look at housing and rental markets in various american cities and asked the question, if you're renting, what kind of house could you get for the same payment you're making every month? they found in some cities it made more sense to buy. in las vegas, the average $1,500 would pay for a mortgage on an 1,100 square foot home. it's a small house, but a house. the average rent in san jose, nearly $3,000 a month, according to researchers, would buy a 574 square foot house, which to my knowledge, doesn't really exist. 500 would be 20 by 25. >> a tiny house. >> it would be less than a two-car garage, probably the size of maybe three parking

spaces in a parking lot, for the whole house. >> right. >> maybe put your mother-in-law in it. >> you're so not nice. >> i don't have a mother-in-law. >> neither does he anymore. >> i do, and i love her. i do. >> no tiny house for her. it's 6:17 this morning. just into our newsroom, manufacturing giant 3m just reached a massive settlement with the u.s. military over combat ear plugs. the military sued the company in 2016 claiming that it sold defective ear plugs. the study concluded constant ringing in the ears increased for soldiers who used the plugs. 3m did not admit liability and claims they're safe, but it will have to pay more than $6 billion

amsterdam to curacao in the caribbean will take place in november. >> we know how effective the curtains are. >> i always want to help the family. but then that's weird, too. can i help you with your baby? >> i use earphones and i don't mind, sometimes the mother or father will get up and walk the baby. >> did you practice that at clear the shelters? >> i really did. he was shaking, and i was like, it's okay, it's okay. >> adorable. >> i some things to work out first, but i'm ready. you've been working out what's going on with the forecast. how is it looking today? >> it's looking like another warm day with hazy sunshine. we're getting used to that. i hate to say it, but we are. let's check out what's happening. dublin, already off to a warm start. temperatures in the 50s because of the lack of the cloud cover that usually cushions us and

gives us a little bit of a mild start. otherwise, we're going to see a very warm day. we're going to look at 70s along the shoreline, but breezy at times. as we go into the east bay shoreline, 82 in oakland, 81 in fremont, and we'll see 90s pop up as we go into the valleys of the east bay and through the santa clara valley. we'll also 90 in san martin today. another thing we are keeping an eye on is the fire weather watch, the area that you see shaded in yellow, so upwards of calistoga, ukiah, just outside of lake berryessa, but through the sacramento valley, solano county included, today through tomorrow is definitely the time to watch where winds will be more offshore, gusts anywhere 30 to 40 miles an hour. something to keep an eye on and be fire weather aware over the next couple of days. we could see the north bay mountains and diablo range being included. the shift in the winds is going to be bad news for the wildfire smoke coming from the pacific

northwest. if you are sensitive, pay attention to our timeline at the top of your screen. we'll see mostly hazy skies, but as the wind starts to shift, here comes more of the red color that we do not want to see. tomorrow morning most of the bay area, the north bay, even through the sacramento valley, are going to see smoke particulates really coming into our air. through the afternoon it will sweep by. there is better news that it should start to clear as we go into thursday. before we get to thursday, we have to deal with very warm temperatures. hottest day is supposed to be tomorrow, hot and hazy. the valleys will be in the 90s. the triple-digit heat toward solano, brentwood, antioch, you've been through this. we do have to be more cautious of our health, staying hydrated and wearing sunscreen. thursday those changes will come about. we'll drop temperatures about 10 degrees, back into those low 90s, before further cooling comes into the picture as we go

into the holiday weekend. san francisco, mild, hazy and warm over the next couple of days. then we'll drop it back into the 60s by friday with more cloud cover. our inland valleys, very warm today. hotter even still tomorrow, with more of that haze coming in, that wildfire smoke. but then we will cool things down to below average temperatures as we get into the labor day holiday. mike, what's going on with some crashes on the road? >> we pointed out these three slower spots. eastshore freeway, we found a reason, chp gives detail, saying a crash at pomona. there is still debris in the area, but things calmed down and it's off to the shoulder. same thing as you're coming through san pablo and another at university. all three cases, there is some debris reported but no major closures for lanes in the areas. we still have your general ploe that you predict, a little extra slowing for the time being. bottom of the screen, another crash north 880 around davis. word was there was a tire in the

slow lane. we're watching for activity. traffic is still relatively light traveling north into hayward. over here we have much more traffic flowing, much slower for highway 4 toward walnut creek. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:22 right now. the hard work paying off for one east bay native making his hometown debut for the team that he grew up watching. >> next on "today in the bay," a look at the electric night for him

6:25 this morning. this is the kind of story that movies are made out of. the good thing for us, it played out last night in the bay area at oracle park. >> the hometown kid makes the mound and blows everybody away. kyle harrison last night made his home debut. he grew up in danville, where he played in twin creeks little league. he later attended de la salle and last night in front of friends and family, he made his first home start in front of the electric crowd. he had a dominating performance, no runs on three hits and six plus innings, leaving the game to a standing ovation. the giants beat the reds 4-1. harrison later said he was actually blind to all the love coming from the stands. >> i didn't see them at all. i was dialed in. even i think my buddies were saying they were somewhere close, but i was locked in.

so, yeah, i didn't see them at all. >> to do it in front of his family and see the tears up on the big screen, it was pretty rewarding for all of us, and obviously nobody is happier than kyle. >> well, maybe his mom and dad. check out these photos afterwards. kyle with his parents on the field. not only an unforgettable night, but a night giants fans will not soon forget. they probably drove him to so many little league games. the giants are in the thick of a pennant race, a half game out from the final wild card spot. on friday they face the padres and you can watch right here on nbc bay area. coverage starts at 6:30. >> i love how he says he was so focused he didn't notice everybody. top stories we're following, breaking news out of san francisco. >> reporter: correct, san francisco police, marcus, say they shot a man in the tender loin who they say was armed with a knife. the news conference is scheduled

winds. it would be the first energy shutoff for the year, and not just pg&e, but cal fire's north bay unit tweeted this out last night, the unit's engine and dozen strike teams are all back tomorrow after battling fires in other parts of the state. cal fire is saying it comes just in time, as the fire weather watch has been issued. just look at this scene yesterday in the santa cruz mountains. crews were able to contain this brush fire yesterday in the brookdale area, and luckily, they say there was no wind and it stopped at around just under 1.5 acres. i want to keep an eye on what's going on with the win. this afternoon, still very buddy out toward the marin county coastline. watch as they shift to offshore tomorrow. that's the combination we don't want to have, offshore, dry wind, heat that's building for wednesday and low humidity levels. watch toward winters, solano

county, sacramento valley, under a fire weather watch that goes into effect later tonight through tomorrow evening. those gusty winds could be anywhere from 30 to 40 miles an hour at times, and the areas that you see shaded in orange could eventually drag into the north bay mountains. we'll keep an eye out and see how far the national weather service wants to extend this. for now, back to you. now to breaking news this morning out of san francisco, the tenderloin rocked by a late-night police shooting. the suspect now critically injured. bob redell is live this morning. bob, police say they actually shot that person because he was threatening people with a weapon? >> reporter: correct. good morning to you, marcus. we hope to learn more in about two and a half hours at a 9:00 news conference at san francisco police headquarters. san francisco police do say that this man was armed with a knife and threatening people in the tenderloin last night. a number of people who live in that neighborhood posted these

cell phone videos online of the scene after police arrived. police tell us at around 10:20 last night they responded to a 911 call, they made contact with him and during the encounter, at least one officer fired their gun. police called in the paramedics who had been staged nearby. they began to do life-saving measures. the man was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. his current condition unknown. as is normal with officer-involved shootings, the da's office is investigating, along with the department of police accountability and two internal units with sfpd. we hope to learn more about this officer-involved shooting at a 9:00 a.m. news conference at san francisco police headquarters. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. we did send out a push alert through our app just about 5:00 this morning. download our nbc bay area news app that is free in the app store. authorities have yet to identify a victim in a deadly

double shooting yesterday. it happened a little before 5:00 p.m. on international boulevard near 23rd avenue. the second victim now in the hospital with unknown injuries. police are not saying if they know the motive just yet. no arrests have been made. there's new information coming to light on the participants in a wild melee that sent shoppers running for cover at bay street mall in emeryville. it happened sunday and it is involved hundreds of juveniles. one person was stabbed, but is expected to fully recover. last night oakland schools stated the incident involved a large group of its students. emeryville's mayor is praising the actions of police saying it could have been far worse. >> to be able to peacefully disperse the vast majority of those folks and have people leave without any damage to property or further injury to people. >> last night the mall was quiet and included a greater police presence. oakland school leaders are reminding parents to keep tabs on their childrens' whereabouts.

some reports indicate a social media post encouraged students to show up at the mall. a setback for tenants rights groups on the peninsula after redwood city leaders delayed their vote on a new protection for renters trying to make it in the bay. dozens of low-income and migrant renters attended last night's council meeting and they were hoping they would approve measures proposed back in 2021. one would provide new harassment protections and the other would protect renters where renovations are made. council members chose to table the vote until next year. >> we are disappointed by the fact that the council decided to allow the continued harm of renters in redwood city. >> landlords argue rent adjustment should be allowed in the event of substantial renovations. the council is calling for staffers to return with more information and recommendations. the buzz you may be hearing from the beyhive is about to

turn into a mighty roar. we are counting down the arrival of the queen, beyonce, at levi's. and tonight santa clara city council will make their honorary mayor, yes, beyonce will be the honorary mayor, giving her the key to the city like they did taylor swift. >> businesses are sure to be booming as well, along with traffic. santa clara taking steps to try to make sure everybody gets in formation. if you have tickets, you should know traffic is expected to be pretty heavy close to the stadium. vta and b.a.r.t. will have extra trains running. for taylor swift shows, both agencies saw more than 20,000 riders per night. >> we have about 30% more capacity on our trains that we're going to be running. that's several extra trains. we'll start extra service around 4:30 in the afternoon. so people will see trains running every 10 to 15 minutes along the lines.

those wind gusts won't be too bad. by the time the show starts at 8:00, beyonce taking the stage, those temperatures still running mild, in the 70s. by the time you're out, you're going to be sweating. you might not need the jacket because temperatures near 70 degrees at 11:00 at night. so overall a very warm day that we're tracking, and not only that, but other weather headlines that are catching our attention is the shift in the wind direction that could bring in more of that wildfire smoke and the fire weather watch that's been issued in the north bay as the heat continues to build. i'll guide you through the timing in the full forecast. for now, mike says traffic has a memory. >> when i say that, you know you're driving along and wondering why everything is slow. it's because a crash was there but it's not there anymore. remember the disturbance over by university, but there's nothing there right now to cause that problem. that's what's going on. things recovered at the

carquinez bridge and we're building at the bay bridge. a little more at the berkeley curve because those folks are getting through without any problems. a pretty standard drive. a reminder that overnight -- this morning we had construction at the richardson bridge that was cleared before 4:00 in the morning, so before most of you hit the roadways. we're looking to southbound golden gate bridge, today is southbound, construction from 9:00 to 3:00. yesterday it was northbound. wasn't any major problem. over here we have the giants game, so keep the crowd in mind after work. back to you. >> thanks, mike. some answers this morning to a mysterious recent land purchase in the north bay that includes designs on creating a new city. ahead on "today in the bay," the ultra rich silicon valley players tied to the deal and the one lawmaker now standing up to them. plus, all the latest from washington, whether that's from the white house or from the courthouse down the street. welcome home the new
