>> thanks so much, kari. >> a quick reminder, you can watch nbc bay area news whenever you like. we're on 24/7 on roku and other streaming platforms. there you can watch live breaking news, news conferences, even repeats of our news casts. right now at 6:00, thousands are heading to d.c. to march for israel, including many from the bay area. we break down the impact amid the intensifying war in the middle east. >> more heavy hitters are set to arrive at san francisco's apec summit, including president biden. the impact already being felt, including perhaps the largest street-related closure that just took effect an hour ago. and a scare in the air. a bomb threat leads to an emergency landing at sfo. we just talked to one passenger about the frightening experience. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this tuesday. thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. we'll check the morning commute?

just a bit. there are changes when it comes to our forecast. >> some of us woke up to rain this morning. now it's starting to clear out in the south bay. we are going to see this heading to the north bay with some rounds of rain for the next few hours, and some of it may be a little heavy at times. it has cleared san francisco, it's moving into the east bay and parts of the north bay. but once again, you can see the activity lifting northward where the north bay will continue to see the rain through about 9:00 to 10:00. but the rest of the day it is clearing out and we are headed back to sunshine before we get some more widespread rain in tomorrow's forecast. it does look like tomorrow morning also starts out mostly dry, but some heavier rain, as well as some gusty winds will make its way back to the bay area by tomorrow evening. i'll be tracking that and we'll talk about what to expect as the rain continues off and on through saturday. mike, you've got a couple of crashes on the map. >> i do. i also have some of the highlighting in green, which means maybe slick roadways where the rain came through. the first crash is south 880,

it's in lanes, at least that's the report, but i don't see slowing. more slowing building out of hayward toward the san mateo bridge. we'll track that for the nimitz. on the peninsula, the bayshore freeway jams up as you're approaching sfo. just shy of the exit, there's a crash blocking two left lanes heading northbound. of course there's slowing across the bay bridge. you're down one lane. i'll explain more about apec coming up. >> thank you very much. happening in just a few hours in washington, d.c., hundreds of thousands will visit the mall. >> the message includes concerns over the rise in anti-semitism right here at home. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is in our newsroom this morning. this is a call for action and peace. >> it is, and we could see a gathering of up to a quarter of a million people, calling for the release of the jewish hostages in gaza and for an end

to anti-semitic acts here at home and around the world. ahead of that, pro-israel protesters gathered at the federal building in oakland staging a sit-in, calling for cease-fire in the israel-hamas war. several people were arrested by federal police. this protest was organized by the grassroot organization called jewish voice for peace and their position is counter to that of the jewish community relations council, a different organization, which says a cease-fire is not the answer to the escalating situation. more than 250 people remain captives of hamas, including a 3-year-old american little girl. only five hostages have been released since the hamas attack on israel on october 7th. this is a live look at gaza, where israel defense forces are engaging in fierce battles with hamas militants, but many palestinians, as you know, are caught in the middle with nowhere to go. members of the jewish federation

of san francisco will be going to that washington, d.c. rally, and i had a chance to talk with a board member. i asked him how people could reconcile seeing both the horror of what hamas did in israel and what is happening in the palestinian people on the other side. >> i say to people, both jewish, muslim, palestinians, israelis, this is all about finding a path for peace and removing any hurdles on the way. and hamas is a hurdle. regretfully, hamas is using palestinians as a human shield. and that's something that creates suffering across the board. >> reporter: the march for israel is happening in d.c. at 10:00 our time. it could be the single largest rally in support of israel in 35 years. when that happens, we will update you on our social platforms and on nbcbayarea.com

and bring you a full wrap-up in our midday news at 11:00. san francisco's apec summit is awaiting the arrival of president joe biden. the president is expected to arrive later today with a schedule that includes high-level talks with china's president xi jinping. here is a live look at sfo and the moscone center. air force one is due to land before 2:00 this afternoon. it's not clear where the president will stay. last time he was here, he stayed at the fairmont on nob hill. many other world leaders arriving in the bay area, including u.s. secretary of state antony blinken, who arrived overnight. the summit focusing on trade, involving 21 pacific rim economies. security in san francisco, extra tight, especially in the area surrounding moscone center where much of the activity is focused. there are parties, including a vip reception last night a attended by treasurer ma. >> lots of excitement.

it is more crowded than we thought. but i think that speaks to the energy and the excitement that is surrounding this whole apec week. >> now, approaching the holiday seasons, there's only added festive feel to the city, and just last night sky star ferris wheel opened on fisherman's wharf. our ginger conejero saab is at the moscone center and she's going to have a live report in our next half hour, including our political expert taking on what we can expect when presidents biden and xi meet tomorrow. and a reminder, our website is a good resource to keep up with all things apec. you can scan the qr code on your screen and it will take you to our guide online. it's going to break down everything with the events, as well as how to avoid the traffic in the city. a united airlines flight averted last night for a bomb scare and it's reported to depart in less than an hour.

we did just speak with a passenger who was on board the flight. the flight turned around over oregon. he says passengers received an air dropped bomb threat, which forced the emergency landing. about one hour on the tarmac, he spoke with the pilot. >> i kind of asked him what was going on, and he told me that it was a bomb threat. that's kind of what the people on the plane had figured because people were talking about getting air dropped images and stuff. other people had accepted the air drop and it was something along the lines of, i'm going to bomb the plane, or something. so they had gotten the air drop once we were on the air. i had gotten it on the ground. because i didn't accept it, i didn't know what it was. once they made the hostesss aware, we landed the lane. >> the plane landed safely and the passenger tells us he spoke about what happened but never learned anything about any arrests.

chilling testimony from paul pelosi in the trial of the man accused in the violent attack last fall. pelosi took the stand yesterday saying he was scared when he a awoke to find defendant david depape in his bedroom at his san francisco home. he said depape carried a hammer and zip ties and depape told him he would have to tie him up. when police officers arrived, paul pelosi said he felt relieved trying to place his hand on the hammer to hold it down, but that's when depape attacked. the rest of the incident, he says, was mostly a blur. prosecutors may wrap up the case before the end of the week. happening today in vallejo, leaders are expected to vote on a new effort to deter illegal sideshows. it would include spending nearly $1 million for new street construction and altering traffic signage along several city streets. vallejo bans both watching and participating in sideshows. the bay area is bracing for incoming rain this morning.

taking a live look outside, look at the clouds over san jose. crews in the city have been preparing. they've cleared 35,000 storm drains in anticipation of the new storm headed our way. all of the local pumping stations have also been inspected. crews say they've stationed portable backup pumps in flood-prone areas. valley water started installing a flood wall along a 6,000 foot stretch of waterway that is prone to flooding. it's always good to prepare, even around our own homes. >> good to see that because we know how damaging the flooding can be. in the south bay, when are we expecting to see an influx of rain? >> it's mostly going to be tomorrow afternoon for the south bay. we've seen a couple of spotty showers moving through, but it is a good reminder that it is a good idea to make sure you're clearing the gutters and storm drains around your home. the leaves have fallen and so that may clog them a little faster as the rain begins to come down. we are going to see our sky clearing for today, after the showers have lifted into the north bay. and tomorrow we'll see it

becoming more widespread for the afternoon, but it's also going to be windy. some of those gusts may reach 30 miles per hour. ahead, the rain just continues off and on as we head into saturday. it won't be raining the entire time, but there will be some wet weather, and it may get heavy, especially tomorrow evening into friday as well. but you can see the storm system spinning off the coast, that keeps our weather unsettled. we'll talk more about the timeline coming up. mike, how are the gas prices? >> we're going to look at pretty much steady numbers here. that's holding steady for the last few days. in sunnyvale the best is $4.49, the arco on saratoga road. brentwood $4.47 at the mobil on brentwood boulevard. vallejo, $4.49, sinclair on fairgrounds drive. we have seen improvement on gasbuddy.com over the last week. on the roadways, a smooth flow of traffic.

on the peninsula, still this issue. more detail, north 101, two lanes are blocked approaching the sfo exit. 280 is clear. this crash has major damage to one of the vehicles, but minor injuries. we may have this in lanes until about 6:30. we do have one lane blocked in each direction on the bay bridge slowing things down. that's as a result of apec security. meanwhile, the rest of the east bay shows a standard, maybe a lighter build. back to you. >> thank you. bracing for a possible eruption. a suddenly active volcano putting the nation of iceland on high alert. coming up, the latest on the evacuations under way right now. and if uncomfortable shoes make you grimace, mcdonald's has got some good news. let's take you out to the futures. relatively good news about inflation and investors are back in the green. and the return of a turkey day tradition. we give you a first look at some of the new floats at this year's

macy's thanksgiving day parade. macy's thanksgiving day parade.

i could use a little help. yeah, there's a lot of risk out there. huh ♪♪ hey, is this thing hard to learn? nah, it's easy.

huh. you know, i think i'm going to ride it home. good thing you chose u.s. bank to manage and grow your money. with our 24/7 support at least you're not taking chances with your finances. yeah, i think i'm gonna need a chair. oh, ohhhh. the time is 6:14. let's get a look at our day planner for berkeley. we're starting out with a damp road and some recent rain falling, but we are going to clear out as we go throughout the day. a chance to dry out before more rain comes in. i'll have a look at the timeline

in a few minutes. a smooth drive down golden gate bridge, heading south. we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic. however, the closure of the dana bowers rest area is in place. i'll get the graphic out of the way so you can see the traffic flow better coming up. i had no idea it was so fun. it's like a video game. i'll be at your desk very soon. markets broke a long winning streak yesterday after moody's raised more worries we may not be able to keep our government open. we got relatively good news on inflation a few minutes ago. look at shares of 23andme. notice anything? the genetics testing company under a dollar and they've been under a dollar for quite some time, long enough the nasdaq market is alarmed and wants that company to do something about it or face de-listing. now, joby do electric helicopters based in santa cruz. they just had a test flight in new york city in front of the mayor there.

joby wants to partner with delta to provide flights to and from manhattan from that wall street heliport to jfk. helicopters do this all the time, but they're noisy. joby providing what they call a noise map showing a regular helicopter on the right, a joby all-electric helicopter on the left. you can barely register any noise. a trip from manhattan to jfk, seven minutes. i mentioned inflation. the consumer price index, we just got it, shows prices did not rise in october, but they didn't fall much, either. not month to month. looking on a yearslong basis, there's good news. prices are up just 3.2% from last year, that's within striking distance of the fed's 2% target. google's ceo is expected to testify in federal court in san francisco today in a lawsuit brought by epic games, the company behind fortnite. they accuse google of taking too

much of a cut when players buy something in their game. and crocs will start selling mcdonald's-themed shoes today. happy feet, happy meals. apparently there's a character named birdie. that's the yellow one. i have never heard of birdie. >> your kids are maybe too old. >> you've got hambuglar and then just a generic mcdonald's. >> you're a big crocs fan. what size are we talking? >> 13. >> we'll have to find some. i don't know if they sell them at mcdonald's, but the ones with the red sole. >> oh, yes, they don't have those at mcdonald's. >> hey, that's not fair. >> i love it. nope, nope, i'm in. that's fine. >> there you have it. >> i'm only a 5 1/2. developing right now in iceland, the nation bracing for a possible volcanic eruption,

with part of the coastline now being shaken up by a series of large earthquakes. these are images from the coastal town of grindavik. evacuation orders are in effect for some 4,000 people living in the surrounding area. experts say the surge in seismic activity means a volcanic eruption is a near certainty, but it's not clear how soon that may happen. trending this morning, a first look at some of the newest floats for this year's macy's thanksgiving day parade. >> we're guessing this will wet your appetite. a candy wonderland depicts wonka chocolate factory and has 500,000 pieces of prop candy. another candy-themed float shows the custom gingerbread house with a christmas tree to match. one favorite is a teenage mutant

ninja turtles float and you can see, of course, a pizza shop. you can watch the floats on thanksgiving right here on nbc bay area, and streaming on peacock at 8:30 a.m. next thursday. >> it's already next thursday. >> i know, right? when you say it like that -- >> i have so much to do. >> yeah. well, we do have some weather that makes you think it's fall, the seasons, the holidays are approaching, and we are going to see a lot of changes as we're going to the store, getting that turkey, and thinking about everything we need to do between now and then. we are going to have some of that wet weather coming in, now pushing into the north bay. it did rain earlier this morning, but now things are starting to quiet down for most of us. but we're still seeing a lot of green here pushing through the north bay, up around vallejo and santa rosa. and it is starting to clear out for marin county, but you can see it pouring hard between windsor and santa rosa on 101.

we're also seeing rain around richmond and hercules, but that is moving away, headed toward vallejo. we're seeing this energy and the wet weather moving northward. we are dry the rest of the day. this is our break in that chance to clean up some of the leaves, clear them away from the storm drains, and get ready for some more widespread rain set to arrive by tomorrow afternoon. tomorrow morning we're waking up to dry conditions. then we see some of the heavier rain passing by. by 3:00 to 6:00 tomorrow evening, then a bit more of a break, before the rain continues off and on through thursday. the center of the storm is still well off the coast, but we're getting waves of rain and breaks as the activity continues today. i think tomorrow the winds will be picking up and we could see gusts to 30 miles per hour, which of course a gusty wind could knock over things. make sure everything is secure and ready for that rain and high wind. even on friday into saturday we're still seeing some wet

weather moving through, but it does look like it tapers off shortly after that, and sunday and monday is dry. between now and then, we could see the possibility of 1 to 2 inches of rain in areas in red, and possibly 2 to 3 inches of rain up around parts of the north bay, where we are seeing a lot more of that heavier rain that could linger into saturday. but we're going to be tracking this activity, and it's a great idea to make sure you have the nbc bay area app because of the sporadic nature of the rain. you do want to make sure you get a heads-up before the rain approaches your location and gives you a chance to get inside or make sure you can finalize any outdoor plans before that rain comes in. and temperature-wise it stays mild here, with off and on rain for san francisco as well between today through saturday. so we'll keep you up to date on the timeline. and, mike, you were seeing something going on at the bay bridge. >> i didn't know if we were going to be able to see it on

camera. off to the side, it looks like an ambulance in the parking lot. a lot of activity. it doesn't look like anybody is in a rush and that's good news. whatever has happened there, it's in the parking lot area. we have the hov lanes clear. across the span it's slow, and it will remain slow throughout the rest of the week because we are down one lane in each direction. that is for security and apec in the city. more security through nob hill and moscone center. this is just off the bay bridge. tomorrow the 5th street off-ramp will be closed starting at 5:00 a.m. that's a look ahead. currently we're still tracking the crash north 101 approaching sfo. two lanes are blocked. >> thanks, mike. coming up next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> good morning. shoplifting continues to be a big problem. well, this machine made right here in the bay area might be a solution, and it could change

the look of stores everywhere. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.

welcome back. it is 6:25. many stores say rampant shoplifting is driving prices up. >> and now some local innovators are setting up and stepping up. consumer investigator chris chmura got an insider's view of how. good morning. it's a sad state of affairs.

perhaps you've seen the new secure shelves, lots of stores are locking up merchandise. you have to wait for a worker to come unlock it to get what you want. so, yes, these padlocks can scare off thieves, but also drive away shoppers. a catch-22. here is one business' story. >> at the time they had $800,000 a year in theft, and so they thought, okay, let's solve this problem. let's lock it all up. so they locked it all up and the next year their revenue went down by $3.5 million. so they created a bigger problem. >> david heads a small sebastopol company looking to make big changes inside stores everywhere. this is his team's shoplifting solution, reinvented store shelving. essentially a gigantic vending machine that can replace an entire aisle or several aisles. tonight at 5:30, we'll take you behind the scenes to show you how these automated retailers work to stop thieves without

stopping you from wanting to shop there. we'll map out when you might see the store of the future land in your neighborhood. i'll see you again tonight at 5:30. we've got a lot more ahead, including a wet week ahead. meteorologist kari hall is tracking the rain timeline. president joe biden will be back in the bay area a day ahead of his much anticipated meeting with chinese president xi. up ahead, we have details on his return, as well as the full day ahead for his secretary of ahead for his secretary of state, antony blken, herein

this tuesday morning. this is one of meteorologist kari hall's favorite times of the day. i know you love a good sunrise. >> absolutely. and i love when people take pictures and tag me on facebook or instagram. i love seeing the sun rise because it's our fresh start, and we're getting a little rain to help freshen things up a little more. but most of it has moved into the north bay, with the storm system that's bringing the first round of some rain that will be off and on with us as the storm system continues to pump in some moisture to the bay area. but once again, most of it has moved farther north in parts of sonoma and napa counties. we're going to see activity moving over toward vallejo as well. and then as we go through the late morning hours, it does start to taper off. the rest of the day is partly cloudy. we'll get a break from the activity before more widespread rain comes in tomorrow afternoon, along with some gusty winds. i'll talk more about the timeline and what to expect as the rain continues off and on

into saturday. that's coming up in the full microclimate forecast. >> kari, thank you. some breaking news just into our newsroom. we are getting reports of a two-alarm fire in san francisco. crews are just responding to it right now. this is happening on valencia and 21st street. you can see that smoke there from the flames from a distance, as one of our viewers sent us this. it appears to be an apartment building on fire. firefighters are asking people to avoid that area. witnesses telling us crews are making progress, getting those flames under control this morning. we'll continue to follow this and bring you updates this morning. 6:31 right now. apec awaits some very important arrivals. the san francisco summit hits its stride with the arrival of president biden, among others. mike inouye has the details on a major closure for the bay bridge. first, let's check in with ginger conejero saab tracking the arrival of some heavy hitters. ginger? >> reporter: laura, it is a full

day here at apec. it will be a full day of official business for secretary of state antony blinken, who is expected to arrive here at the moscone center before his 9:30 engagement. that will be his first meeting of the day. he is set to meet with peruvian and thai officials this morning, as well as have a trilateral meeting with the japanese and korean foreign ministers. mr. blinken will host a plenary session and his day concludes with a dinner also here in san francisco. as mentioned, president joe biden will be arriving in san francisco before 2:00 this afternoon, hours before a campaign reception for the president and the vice president are scheduled to take place. the president's arrival comes a day before his much anticipated meeting with chinese president xi jinping, and this morning the chinese foreign ministry says president biden and president xi

will have, quote, in-depth communication on several issues. bloomberg is reporting the two leaders are expected to announce an agreement in which china would crack down on the manufacturing and exporting of fentanyl. here is our political analyst, larry gersten. >> it's an opportunity for xi and biden to get a reset. i think both of them have issued signals, so to speak, that they want to see the temperature cooled. so here we are, there's nothing like having two people together. phones, email, whatever other exchanges, don't do the same thing as having the two leaders themselves spend some time. >> reporter: and we can expect many eyes on the press conference that is expected to happen after that in-person takes place tomorrow between president biden and president xi. president biden also scheduled to meet with tech ceos on thursday here at apec and meet with mexico's president on friday. so a lot still to watch out for

as we really are kind of getting closer and closer to the days of apec that we've been preparing so much for. kind of the climax of apec. >> very much so, and a lot of crowds as well. mike, this is going to, no doubt, impact the commute through the rest of the week. >> the influence has reached an apex. just before 4:00, we had one lane closed in each direction. i'm coming back in the evenings to make sure we can cover day in and day out at apec. we have a slower drive westbound toward treasure island and we're down one lane, so that may continue to build. we see slowing down the eastshore freeway and slowing metering lights because there's less capacity on the bridge. in the city we continue with the security, which gets stronger and stronger around moscone center, and nob hill, meaning more restrictive. starting tonight you won't be able to access the area because tomorrow it will be locked down,

as well as the area around nob hill between the hotels over there. then starting tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m., we're going to restrict on and off-ramp access for the rest of the week, we're looking at a closure at 5:00 and the on-ramp at 4th. today they're fine, tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. is the start of the cycle. getting into the city is slow. tomorrow midday there will be a closure probably at the embarcadero because someone else is coming into town. >> our coverage of apec continues all week long. raj mathai will be there with our team of reporters. head to our website, nbcbayarea.com. you can click on apec in the trending bar. this morning, san jose leaders later today are expected to address a text messaging scandal involving a now former police officer. a recent sjpd internal investigation found officer mark

mcnamara sent racist text messages to another officer in the aftermath of a shooting involving mcnamara last year. keion green was shot and injured after he was told to drop a gun during a brawl at taqueria. mcnamara resigned last week. council members today will address that matter. cal state university skilled trade workers are organizing a one-day strike starting later this morning. all but one csu campus will be affected, including san jose state, sf state and cal state east bay. more than 1,000 electricians, elevator mechanics, plumbers, carpenters and locksmiths are walking off the job. they are currently working under an expired contract. csu remains hopeful a new deal can be reached and says it has contingency plans in place to avoid disruptions. baseball's meeting begin in

texas and two cities will be watching with keen interest, oakland and las vegas. any a's fan can tell you exactly why. "today in the bay"'s bob redell is joining us live. you know those fans who were already dreading this week are processing any new developments. >> reporter: and there is a new development. according to the athletic, a publication, on thursday all 30 owners of major league baseball teams are expected to approve the oakland a's move to las vegas, and according to the athletic, not only will there be enough to approve the move, there could be all yes votes. major league baseball's own report which assesses the move to vegas is not very positive about the chances for the a's success in sin city. but because, quote, there was no perceived better alternative, the a's reached a tentative agreement for a stadium off the las vegas strip, but the funding

is not set in stone. for that reason, a's fans say they're still hopeful that major league baseball will recognize the value of keeping the green and gold in oakland. >> the owners vote is likely that they'll vote in favor of the relocation, just because that's how it goes. but we've really done all we can on our fans' side, they've made it crystal clear that there is a clear fan base in oakland. >> reporter: that was jeremy goodrich of the oakland 68's fan group. he says he's happy the mayor has tried to keep the dream alive and that the city has come up with option to say improve howard terminal and make it a more appealing stadium location. in august, nevada lawmakers approved up to $380 million in public financing toward stadium construction. the a's lease of the oakland coliseum expires after the next baseball season, and a new ballpark in vegas wouldn't be ready until the 2028 season at the earliest. so where to play in those tween

seasons? according to the "chronicle," a's president has said that they could theoretically extend the lease at the coliseum, could temporarily share oracle park with the giants or play at the las vegas ballpark, currently home to the a's aaa affiliate. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. you notice the beautiful sunrise behind bob there in the east bay. another view outside, this time from walnut creek. kari is keeping tabs on the rain headed toward the bay area. some people actually saw some sprinkles on their windshield this morning. >> yeah, we had rain off and on, and it continues for the north bay. the rest of the bay area is just seeing still the remnants of the rain that fell earlier this morning, but it is drying out. our temperatures are milder. in san jose and oakland, we're at 58 degrees, about the same in san francisco and dublin, a little cooler at 50 degrees with a calm wind. once again, the rain has lifted

into the north bay where it does continue and may linger for a few more hours before clearing out. but we are seeing this as a first wave of rain ahead of many more waves of rain that's in the forecast. as far as temperatures, it will be cooler and a lot more cloudy in parts of the north bay, with highs in the mid-60s. we'll reach into the mid-70s for the south county, with san martin reaching 75 degrees. we'll talk about the next punch of rain that looks like it will be stronger coming up. mike, you're seeing more slowing for a couple of bridges. >> on schedule for the san mateo bridge. it is feeding off of the nimitz freeway where we see that build and we've been seeing it coming through hayward out of san leandro. in the south bay, we have a little build, right on schedule. north 101 at alum rock. there's a crash on the shoulder. we don't see any major changes for the south bay. right on schedule. slower across the bay bridge westbound, but both directions, west and eastbound, are restricted by one lane through the rest of the summit.

we talked about those security measures being implemented this morning at 5:00 a.m. and we still have more security, a little stronger today at moscone center. really locked down tomorrow there, as well as nob hill. i talked about changes here. 5th street off-ramp, tomorrow morning it will be inaccessible. this morning we're okay getting into the city and exiting at 5th. tomorrow at midday, we have the embarcadero, it sounds like there's a party at the exploratorium. the embarcadero will be closed so do plan on alternate routes and congestion because you have to get off of the embarcadero due to security as well. the president is in town, but back in washington they're just trying to keep the government open past friday. government open past friday. plus, new

good tuesday morning. the time is 6:44. let's get a look at our east bay forecast as we check out hayward. it's a breezy start, mostly cloudy and 60 degrees. we're going to be in the low 60s for the next few hours, but we are going to see a mostly sunny sky heading into the afternoon. a mild day after early morning showers. we'll talk about more widespread rain in our microclimate forecast coming up. the bay bridge toll plaza, notice the hov lanes are starting to stack up. going very slowly. but i'm looking at the span. the incline looks fine. i think there's a crash or something going on around the metering lights. we'll show you additional

slowing delays for folks heading out of oakland and toward san francisco. president biden's helicopter will lift off from the white house at 8:10 our time. >> the first leg on his trip to san francisco and apec. >> that's exactly right. due to land here before 2:00 local time. he has that big meeting with chinese president xi tomorrow. our ginger conejero saab has been covering that for you. later this week, the president will meet with mexican president obrador to hammer out solutions to the border crisis. video here of them meeting in mexico city. the meeting will happen on the sidelines of apec. the issue in washington right now is how to keep the government open past friday. we expect a vote as soon as today in the republican-led house on a funding bill pushed by speaker mike johnson that would fund the government through the end of the year at current levels. now, some house republicans who wanted to see cuts are not happy. but mike johnson gained a very

important ally, a huge supporter yesterday in the form of senate republican leader mitch mcconnell. >> house republicans have produced a responsible measure that will keep the lights on, avoid a harmful lapse in government funding, and provide the time and space to finish that important work. i'll support their continuing resolution and encourage my colleagues to do the same. >> after months of repeated controversy, the supreme court has come out with ethics rules that say what justices should and should not do. they are somewhat vague. for instance, don't let family, social, political, financial or other relationships influence official conduct or judgment. this all comes after a raft of investigations into justice clarence thomas, who is accused of accepting luxury vacations on private jets, superyachts, school tuition and other

benefits, including according to a "new york times" article, a sweetheart loan from a friend to buy a quarter million dollar camper. >> what kind of an engine? >> this has an 8v92, detroit diesel. >> justice thomas in his motor home with steve croft from cbs some years back. justice kagan dealt with her own ethical quandary. in the blog "the forward" reporting this past spring, some of kagan's old classmates from decades past wanted to send her bagels, fancy bagels. her classmates said kagan emailed and said, quote, i have to take these ethics and reporting considerations very seriously. she turned down that box of bagels. >> love those bagels but that's what she had to do. thanks. tomorrow we are airing our 22nd episode of "race in america: the conversation". with this episode we look into an array of things associated with the prison system,

including rehabilitation and education. governor newsom laying out an ambitious plan to transform san quentin from a prison to a rehabilitation center. i sat down with uc berkeley professor of public policy and political science. >> in the early 2000s california added rehabilitation to his names, department of corrections became department of corrections and rehabilitation. but the reality is, there hasn't been the kind of investment in high-quality programs and access across all of the prisons in california that there needs to be for taking rehabilitation seriously. >> we'll show you how the programs are working inside. make sure to joins us for the transformation of san quentin tomorrow night at 7:30 right here on nbc bay area. it is 6:49 on your tuesday morning. we've been admiring the sunrise. it depends on where you are in the bay area. here are some great vantage points.

kari has a look at our forecast and she's tracking the incoming wet weather. >> we had our first wave of light rain that moved through the bay area this morning. it's even clearing out for the north bay. going into the afternoon we're back to the sunshine. we have a little bit more time to prepare for some of the more widespread and gusty winds that we'll see going into the day tomorrow. i do think tomorrow is when we'll really start to measure some rainfall across the bay area, and it's going to be gusty as a little more of that storm starts to come in. it just continues to bring in rain off and on over the next few days, that continues through saturday. so here is a look at what we're seeing right now, some of the showers moving through the center of the storm, still well off the coast. you can see the moisture coming in. we started out early this morning with spotty showers, but it still does come down for parts of the north bay, where we've seen up to a tenth of an inch of rain already. now that we're getting this clearing out, we're headed back to a partly cloudy sky for the afternoon, and we will see a bit

more of a break into tomorrow morning, where the rain, once again, first returns to the north bay and then the rest of the bay area gets much heavier and gusty winds, possibly a few heavy downpours that could bring in thunderstorms by tomorrow afternoon. at 3:00, we're seeing a lot of oranges and even some reds here, with the brunt of the storm hitting us at that time. and then another break early on thursday morning before we get some more widespread rain, once again, into friday. so this is going to be coming in off and on into the next several days, and it does start to taper off by the end of the weekend. some of our models show a little more in the way of some heavier rainfall for parts of the north bay, for marin and sonoma counties we could see 2 to 3 inches of rainfall. and these areas in red are about 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, and many of our valleys won't see nearly that much, but it will be raining off and on. so we're looking at several

storm systems coming in, and that continues into saturday. but if you're making weekend plans, sunday is your day to get outside. in the meantime, we are also going to be tracking the storm system moving into san francisco, which may have some impacts on apec and people just trying to get around the city. mike, you have a problem near the toll plaza? we can tell that because the hov lanes are slow. when we switch to the camera looking at the incline, things are moving smoothly. i think the crash is near the metering lights. that will add a little time, and then adding more time is the restriction, down one lane. the eastshore freeway is really slow out of richmond and down through the berkeley curve. that's kind of the worst drive of the bay. vasco actually improved a little over the last few minutes. back to you. thank you very much. 6:52. students in south san francisco plan to join students across the nation in honoring a young girl who changed the course of history. today is ruby bridges day.
