music mogul arrested by federal agents in new york amid a wave of lawsuits against him alleging sexual assault and possible trafficking. details on the indictment are expected to be unsealed in just hours. also, new video shows the moment the suspect accused of trying to assassinate former president trump is taken into custody. the unfolding investigation and the stepped up security expected today for both trump and vice president harris working to prevent price spikes at the pump. a live report on the new proposal. lawmakers are set to discuss at the state capitol. this is today in the bay. good morning to you. on this tuesday, i'm marcus washington, and i'm laura garcia. let's start out with a look at the forecast meteorologist kari hall tracking what we can expect. morning. and we are starting out with some of the same temperatures we saw yesterday. at this time, right now, in the upper 50s with a light wind and a few clouds overhead. and in walnut creek, we're at 58 degrees, about the

same in san jose. and 57 in palo alto. but as we take a look at our highs for this afternoon, it's also going to be the same as yesterday, minus some of the clouds and we're also going to hold off on those rain chances until tomorrow. but we're only n dublin, hayward and in palo alt, 75 in napa, novato and santa rosa. pretty even temperatures across the bay area with some upper 60s and low 70s expected from the coast to the inland valleys. but we'll talk about more changes ahead. the return of some higher rain chances in our forecast. that's coming up in a few minutes. marcus and laura. perfect. we'll check back with you. thank you. kari turning now to the assassination attempt of former president trump. security is top of mind as both trump and vice president harris return to the campaign trail today. new police body camera footage shows the arrest of the apparent suspect. take a look. do you want to go? keep walking? this body camera

footage shows police arresting rhyne ruth. the suspect from the apparent second assassination attempt against the former president over the weekend. ruth is facing federal charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and of and also possession of, a firearm with an obliterated serial number, court documents show. the 58 year old's cell phone signal suggests he was hiding in the bushes near trump's golf course for nearly 12 hours. all of a sudden we heard shots being fired in the air and i guess probably 4 or 5, and it sounded like bullets. president biden spoke with trump by phone. biden is offering to provide more protection to ensure the republican nominee remains safe. congress is also considering boosting funding for the secret service. new this morning we're waiting to learn more about the

arrest of sean diddy combs. he was taken into federal custody last night at a manhattan hotel this is following the grand jury indictment. tracie strahan from our sister station at wnbc in new york, is following those developments from outside the federal court in lower manhatta. he's one of the biggest names in the world of hip hop. and sean diddy combs was taken into custody by federal agents last night. it all happened around 830. our time here at the park hyatt hotel after sean combs was taken in handcuffs by homeland security agents, a person familiar with the situation says he was caught off guard when he was taken into custody, and the hip hop producer had been living at that hotel for several weeks. the charges against the 54 year old are not yet public. they come, however, amid a sex trafficking investigation in midtown back in march, federal agents conducted searches of combs homes in both california and florida. roughly half a dozen women and a man came forward accusing him of sexual

abuse and physical violence, including his former girlfriend, singer cassie ventura. in a statement expressing disappointment in the u.s. attorney's office decision to prosecute him, the lawyer representing combs said in part, quote, please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. these are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court. that federal indictment against combs is expected to be unsealed later this morning, and he is expected to plead not guilty to the charges against him in lower manhattan. tracey strahan for today in the bay area. palo alto's new plan to expand its airport is already hitting some serious headwinds when it comes to people who live nearby. council members are considering various expansion options meant to address existing aircraft and a future with more electric aircraft. last night, they held a public feedback meeting attended by opponents, many of whom actually live in east palo alto. neighbors there feel like their concerns are being

ignored. i live very close to the airport. i've seen multiple plane crashes, including 1 in 2010 that killed three people when a plane crashes, it's either going to go into the palo alto marsh or the east palo alto neighborhoods. so it's extremely important that east palo alto is consulted on this. opponents also say they already deal with a lot of noise and poor air quality from the airport. council members did not hold a vote, but they did agree to choose one of several alternative options. salesforce annual dreamforce conference kicking off in san francisco today. here is a live look. this morning. this is the multi-day conference taking place at the moscone center. so later today, salesforce ceo marc benioff is going to kick everything off with his keynote speech. local businesses and restaurants, of course, preparing for the large crowds. and according to dreamforce website, attendees are expected to spend upwards of $2,500 just to attend the event. governor gavin newsom says he

has a plan to lower prices at the pump to help those trying to make it in the bay. today in the bay bob redell joining us live from alameda county. and bob, i know lawmakers will soon discuss that proposal with newsom suggesting what is he suggesting with all of this? well, good morning to you, marcus and laura. you might have noticed that recently, the price for a gallon of gasoline has spiked at the pump. for example, at this chevron behind me here in dublin, gas is well back to being over $5 a gallon. the state's division of petroleum market oversight says this jump at the pump is due to unplanned maintenance at two bay area refineries. to answer your question, will governor newsom is proposing is new rules to avoid this kind of price spike. he wants to give state regulators the power to force oil refiners to have a backup oil supply for these kinds of unplanned maintenance and outages. so starting tomorrow, a special committee led by a

democrat in the assembly will begin to hold three hearings over the next week and a half to dive into this issue. now, the western states petroleum association, which advocates on behalf of the oil industry, tells our sister station kcra three in sacramento that the new tanks to hold newsom's proposed backup oil. those are $35 million a pop and would take years to build because of california's strict environmental requirements and regulations. those are costs the association says refiners would pass on to the customer, which would actually make gas more expensive not only here. republn sacramento have also introduced several bills in this special legislative session that's going to be starting. these are bills also aimed at reducing the price of gas at the pumps. behind me, including a suspension of the state's gas tax and blocking future attempts to increase it. that's the gop proposal in sacramento. reporting live here in dublin, bob redell. today in

the bay. all right, bob, thank you. well, let's check on our forecast right now with meteorologist kari hall. how are we looking today? you're in the north bay. yes and we're getting a live look at san rafael this morning. drivers heading out on 101, and it's starting out with some clear v it's going to be a nice cool start to the morning. you'll see a mix of sun and clouds and then increasing sunshine going into the afternoon with our highs there headed for the upper 60s and low 70s and novato. we're looking at a high of 75 and 73. in martinez. in dublin, it will be 71 degrees and 73 in san jose. all of these temperatures are much cooler than what we typically see for the middle of september. and then tomorrow we're looking at more of the same, although we may see some spotty rain moving in, and we'll be watching out for those rain chances. and the possibility of some thunderstorms by thursday. it's warming up just a little bit, and it will continue to heat up going into the weekend.

we're looking at a big ramp up in our high temperatures by the end of the weekend into next week, so we'll take a look at some of those numbers and what's ahead that's coming up in a few minutes. laura marcus. all right. thanks, gary. it is 509 right now. gymnast jordan chiles making a push to reclaim her bronze medal. ahead on today in the bay, the new request she's making to switzerland's supreme court. and why she says the decision at the paris olympics was unfair. well, you've heard of trump steaks and trump water and trump airlines. soon there will be a trump crypto plus, i can buy myself flowers rai my name in the sand. okay, we all know the song, right? it won a grammy. i mean, it's a big song, but does it sound familiar to you? well, we're going to tell you the reason miley cyrus is facing some legal action over that hit song, flowers. you be the judge after the break. hear the song that she's being accused of copying. you're watching today in the bay you

russian state media from its platforms. russia blocked facebook back in 2020. intel getting billions more from the u.s. government through the chips act. it also just did what we said it would do last week, maybe the week before. it's spinning off its foundry business. intel shares jumped on the news, but intel is down something like 60% for the year. donald trump was on x last night speaking on its spaces feature about a new cryptocurrency company he's launching called world liberty financial. now, it's not 100% clear from last night's announcement what world liberty financial does, other than it's going to issue its own crypto coin. trump's been courting crypto fans. here he is earlier this summer at a crypto coin conference where he talked up bitcoin and said all bitcoin jobs should stay in america. but he's not always been a fan. in the past, trump has called cryptocurrency and bitcoin specifically a scam against the dollar unreliable, wholly unfounded. some of trump's

critics questioned him starting a brand new business just months before he potentially could be president, again, supervising the agencies that would supervise those businesses. his whole family is involved. his 18 year old son, barron, is the chief visionary. the person running the business is a social media personality. chase herro, who talks about crypto on youtube. do i know where this will go? no. can it go to zero? yes. now, he posted this a few years ago in his rolls royce. to be clear, he's not talking trump's crypto. he's talking about crypto in general. trump says it's time to leave the banks behind. of course, he's had a very well, sometimes not very good, but a very important relationship with many banks over many years. true all right. thanks, guys. crypto that's coming soon. gymnast jordan chiles will appeal to the swiss supreme court to try to reclaim her olympic bronze medal. you may recall, during the women's

floor exercise final in paris, she was moved up to third place after she challenged the judge's score for one of the elements in her routine. however, she moved down to fifth five days later after the court of arbitration for sport ruled her challenge was submitted too late. the olympic committee then awarded bronze to romania and asked chiles to return her medal. her attorneys argue that she violated the c a s violated chiles right to be heard by refusing to consider the video evidence. well trending this morning, miley cyrus is getting hit with a new lawsuit over that song. flowers the lawsuit claims that songwriters copied portions of bruno mars song when i was your man. i can buy myself flowers. i should have bought you flowers. okay, so the lawsuit filed yesterday in l.a. federal court. this is by tempo music investments. it says that flowers included unauthorized

exploration, exploitation of several elements of the mars song. the lawsuit says that similarities between the two songs are undeniable, and cyrus song would not have been such a hit if it wasn't for mars song. nbc news has reached out to both sides for comment, but we have not heard back. now, we talked about this a long time ago when it first came out. it is kind of like a call and response, like you say, you could do this, but i could do this for myself. i don't think it's like, okay, i'm not a lawyer. i only took media law in college. that's it. but, you know, when it comes to copyright infringement, i don't think so. i mean, it's very clear, but it is very similar. very similar. but, you know, all i want for christmas is you is i don't need you for christmas. now, my copywriting mariah carey had enough. you're gonna sing it like that. but this does remind me of the whole blurred lines, you know, lawsuit. oh that's true. yeah, there's a lot of similarities in songs these days

to everything old is new again. what was that one? i don't need any christmas. i don't need you for christmas. coming out christmas 2024. all right, well, it's too early for that. fall doesn't hit until this weekend, but it's going to feel like summer. so we're going from a nice fall. like, feel for it today, tomorrow. and then big warm up in our temperatures. but it is a little cooler than normal today and we're watching out for rain and storm chances tomorrow. by the end of the week into the weekend it is going to turn hot and we are back to summer. but we are seeing a couple of storm systems. we're watching here. the first one that brought us the clouds and the rain chances yesterday is still spinning, but has moved a little bit farther to the east and making way for this next one coming in. that's going to be arriving with more clouds and a better chance of rain going into tomorrow. so let's take it hour by hour to show you what to expect. partly cloudy today, clearing out this afternoon, and then you can see those clouds

rushing in by early tomorrow afternoon. it's very spotty in terms of where we could see that rain and where we could possibly even see. see some thunderstorms developing. but it looks like by late tomorrow evening, the rain chances shift to the south bay and parts of the east bay, and we may even be watching the south county for that possibility of some storms. today we're headed for the low to mid 70s. a lot of these temperatures are well below what we typically see for this time of year, with los gatos looking at a high of 75 degrees and 75. in concord, we'll also see low 70s from danville to walnut creek to martinez, 73 degrees 68, in oakland and upper 60s for san mateo, palo alto, 71 and for san francisco. we're in the mid 60s today. north bay temperatures in the mid 70s. santa rosa 75 degrees taking it over toward livermore. we thought we were done with the summer heat. not yet. and when the heat returns, it's going to

last for a while, going from saturday to sunday into early next week. with those highs in the 90s and only coming down slightly by the middle to end of next week. so we're going to enjoy these next few days as our highs will be in the 70s. a chance of showers for tomorrow, and then on thursday you can see those temperatures going up and that continues to rise as we welcome in fall on sunday, it's going to be in the 90s inland and mid 70s in san francisco. looking pretty good here. but watching out for those rain chances for tomorrow. and i'll keep you up to date on that. marcus and laura, we're going to have to stay tuned because i don't know what to wear with all that. right coming up next on today in the bay, nbc bay area response insurance companies are dropping thousands of california homeowners. you have to take action to protect yourself and your home. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you how next. and before we head to break, a big shout out to all those who attended the ronald mcdonald house charities bay area fundraiser yesterday. i

had the honor of emceeing the evening festivities after the golf tournament. the funds raised will help families with housing and food while their children are receiving treatment at bay area children's hospitals in palo alto, san francisco and oakland. now may not have been able to attend, but if you would like to help, no donation is too small. you can visit my facebook page where i posted a link there. that's marcus washington nbc bay area. we' be rightll

crisis. the state insurance commissioner will be holding a hearing later this morning to discuss new reforms, which are aimed at making insurance more available. today's virtual public hearing is at 10:00 this morning. well, today's meeting comes as tens of thousands of california homeowners have been dropped from their insurance companies. if you get a non-renewal letter, you have to take action. consumer investigator chris chmura shows us how. when your home insurance company drops you, the state requires them to give you 75 days notice. that sounds like a lot of time, but in insurance, 75 days isn't a lot of time. so step one start shopping for new insurance immediately. don't delay shopping. get shopping right away. get in touch with an independent agent. amy bock heads the nonprofit united

policyholders, which helps homeowners. she says independent agents might work with lesser known companies that might take you on as a new customer. amy's not the only one who recommends shopping around quickly. so does the insurance industry, say, researching for a new policy drags on. we'll ask your old company if they'll keep you computers or making some insurance industry decisions. will the data they chew on might change so as those 75 days tick away, call your old insurance company and ask them, will you keep me? as a last resort? you might have to go to what's called the california fair plan. it's expensive and it only covers fire. you'll likely need a separate policy for things like break ins and leaks settling that could take days or weeks. so that's why it's so important to get started early. get shopping right away. thanks, chris. coming up next, the top stories we're following for you today, including making a push to get you registered to vote. today is national voter registration day. ahead, we break down where you can go to prepare for election day. and we

want to get you ready for dreamforce. whether or not you are coming to this giant convention in the city of san francisco. we have what you need to know to make your way here, or to make

see a lot of the partner network that they have and the different tools that are part of that

partner network that they're launching right now. at 530, dreamforce is kicking off in san francisco. ahead, we're live with everything you need to know as thousands are set to arrive for the conference. also we'll show you the road closures impacting the commute. plus, federal officials say that alleged gunman may have been laying in wait for up to 12 hours. how would he know that trump was coming? we'll take a look. and here is a live look outside for you this morning. meteorologist kari hall tracking rain chances for parts of the bay area this is today in the bay. let's get this tuesday started. want to say good morning to you all? i'm marcus washington, and i'm laura garcia. you make it sound so much fun. try to. okay. let's check in with meteorologist kari hall. she's going to look at our forecast. yeah, we've made it past monday, so that's definitely an improvement. and we're also seeing some nice cool weather continuing. and we're starting out with some clouds. we're in the upper 50s as you head out the door. it's 56 in

san mateo and 56 in danville. while in brentwood we're at 58 degrees right now as you're stepping out in oakland, 57 degrees for the next couple of hours. mostly cloudy with some peeks of sunshine right at about lunchtime. and we're headed for the upper 60s here. it will be about the same in san francisco. it will also head for the low 70s once again for martinez livermore and 73 in san jose. we'll talk about those rain chances that are in the forecast for tomorrow. more on that in a few minutes. and mike, you're looking at some slowing on highway four. yeah. which is not an unusual thing. but right here it's a little bit farther east looking at antioch into pittsburgh, an earlier crash approaching somersville has cleared from the roadway. and as they cleared it, there was a little break in traffic flow. now things are restoring past railroad. that's a little bit of slowing. there's already the slowing we typically see that builds coming into concord. so it kind of blends together. so not really an appreciable add to the time. maybe a minute, possibly 90s longer. over here we're looking over toward the

slowing out of highway 37 in vallejo. but notice in that commute direction to novato, there are two crashes reported one at lakeville and one close to atherton. the one at atherton appears to be in lanes. lakeville might be a duplicate report. we'll track both of those for the north bay. back to you. thank you very much, mike. federal officials say alleged would be assassin rhyne ruth laid in wait for 12 hours. scott mcgrew is here with us, right now. and, scott, it's so interesting because trump wasn't supposed to be at that golf course. wasn't on his schedule. no. so. so how did he know? right. that is the central question. question number one, the secret service says they didn't sweep the grounds ahead of time because they don't do that when the person they're covering does something random and unscheduled. it could have been a lucky guess. trump didn't have any campaigning scheduled. it's his golf course. he enjoys playing golf, for that matter. the prosecution is not actually established. trump was his target. now there have been headlines like secret service once again called into question.

but there are huge differences between this incident and the shooting in pennsylvania. first and foremost, in the most recent case, the secret service stopped the gunman. trump, speaking on x, praised their work and secret service did an excellent job. and they have the man behind bars and hopefully he's going to be there for a long time. dangerous person. very, very dangerous person. new body cam video from the local sheriff's department. as they took ruth into custody. or ruth, rather, you've seen something similar before. this is just a new angle. ruth charged with two federal gun crimes. here's the head of the secret service. president biden made it clear that he wanted the highest levels of protection for former president trump and for vice president harris. the secret service moved to sustain increases in assets and the level of protection sought. and those things were in place yesterday. ronald roe is, more correctly, the acting secret

service head, stepping into the role after the previous head of the secret service stepped down after the previous assassination attempt. the latest incident has not changed campaign schedules. candidates do now generally speak behind glass and the secret service discourages trump from speaking at outdoor rallies. governor tim walz is in georgia. senator jd vance goes to michigan and wisconsin. vice president harris is in philly. former president trump in flint, michigan. nobody going to ohio, though. trump says he will, but trump and vance continue to talk about ohio. springfield, specifically city officials there say candidates who repeat the lie that residents are eating cats and dogs has led to chaos at springfield schools and hospitals and churches with threats called in from all over the world. the governor of ohio says he's sending in the state police to protect people in the town. our schools must remain open. they are going to remain

open. but to ensure parents that their child is safe, which every parent has every right to believe and to know, we're taking this absolutely extraordinary and extra step to make sure that we have patrol there and that they do sweeps every single day, whether we receive bomb threats or whether we do not receive bomb threats. let's not forget what's going on overseas. we're still expecting a decision from the white house. any day now to give ukraine permission to use longer range western weapons against russian targets. a few hundred miles out at best. now russia has reportedly already withdrawn some of its naval units that would be in range and warned the rest. marcus warned the west giving permission to use longer range weapons it got from nato. ukraine would be as if nato was at war with russia. interesting. all right. scott mcgrew for scott. thank you. all right. it

is 535 for you this morning. and today is national voter registration day. thousands of voters still need to register if they want to receive a ballot for the november 5th election. now, this is all being done in an effort to get more people educated and registered to vote. now, there is a lot at stake this year. this is a historic presidential election and a number of local measures are on the ballot as well. october 21st is the deadline to register multiple locations across the bay area, where you can register to vote. volunteers will be on site at the park library in santa clara from 2 to 5 p.m. in san jose, volunteers will be available at the sjsu votes festival that is from 10 a.m. to i'm sorry, that is from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. in washington square. you can also stop by the registrar of voters office from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. for help. and we also have a voter

registration phone bank to help. our sister station, along with telemundo 48, as well as nbc bay area, will be taking your calls if you have any questions about how to register to vote, just give them a call. there the number right there on your screen that's going to open at 9:00 this morning. going to stay open until 630 tonight. san francisco state senator scott wiener today will call on governor newsom to sign his comprehensive bill authorizing new artificial intelligence regulations. state lawmakers passed it this summer. it would require companies to spend $100 million on safety testing to limit potential ai risks, and it would force them to take various safety measures to protect the public from cyber attacks on critical infrastructure. a virtual news conference is scheduled for 10:00 this morning. well, starting today. dreamforce taking over san francisco and while it might make it a little hard to get around in the long run, there could be more dollars for the city and a better use of

artificial intelligence. today in the bay's kris sanchez, she is live for us from moscone center this morning. all right, chris, it looks very festive behind you. what can people expect once they head out there today? yeah, this is a little different look in san francisco. very tropical and kind of whimsical, but it is going to be all business. and once all these folks start arriving for the first day of this giant convention, the dreamforce convention that draws so many people to the city of san francisco, inside, it's going to be all about artificial intelligence. that's really the focus of this year's conference. how companies can maximize it, how companies can use it to their benefit, and use it in a good, positive way. about 45,000 people have paid between 1500 and $2500 just to be here over the next three days. now that means big bucks for the city of san francisco. outside the conference, some of it will benefit local public schools and although salesforce ceo marc

benioff threatened to take the event out of san francisco over issues of crime and cleanliness around moscone center here where we are this morning, the company and the city, they say they were able to make things work, at least for this year. we have 93 million in revenue that we estimate. the impact of dreamforce has on the local community, and we see that it creates about 1400 new jobs this week. so we love to be able to provide that back here in our local community. now, dreamforce is also known for its star power, and over the next three days, attendees will get to hear concerts by pink and imagine dragons, and they'll hear from speakers like jane goodall, matthew mcconaughey, mark cuban. there are so many more, and some of this is also free. you can stream some of these speakers and events all through the dreamforce website, but also if you happen to be by yerba buena, you can hear some of the action that they're streaming stuff out into there. so if you're

happening by the area, maybe ai and tech is not your wheelhouse, but it's still something that you can participate in. there are road closures in effect, a little tricky getting here this morning. and this isn't even the bulk of the traffic. so you're going to want to know how to get here if you're coming and how to get around. if you're not. oh, and have we got someone for that? oh that we do. mike inouye has been tracking some of those major closures around the conference. a lot of people expected mike. yeah, a lot of people. so that's the big issue. watch for the pedestrians because folks will be trying to figure out where they're walking and might not be watching those crosswalk signs. so be very careful. as a driver. the big closure kris you saw where kris was, they've created stone sculptures and actual caves and other mountainous stuff outside of moscone center. that's where all the activity is. that's the reason for the closure of howard between third and fourth. that's the major closure. there is a closure for another block off a third because of some of the related activity. but the actual closures, the easy part, you just go around the closure. lots of congestion. here's market,

here's mission south of market and before and north of the bay bridge and central freeway approach. that's where all the congestion will continue for the next few days. the concert is not in the streets this year. it's over at oracle park as it was last year. so keep that in mind as far as later on in the week. we're looking at not just the moscone center, though. we're looking at the central freeway because overnight, outside of the hours where dreamforce is active, we talked about the project that started yesterday night at 10 p.m. and nightly through the area. the central freeway will have some closures, either westbound or eastbound, getting to or from that bay bridge. they will close off lanes through the area. so you'll use harrison and ninth to get around that minor closure. if you encounter that, there will be signs in place. just keep that. it might be an issuee unfamiliar with the area. meanwhile, for the morning commute, we are looking at a no major issues outside of dreamforce in the city. we're looking at slowing for highway 37, and it looks like the crash over at atherton is the one that is in lanes. with a little more slowing behind me. highway four shows more build coming out of

contra costa county and the rest of the bay. pretty standard, including the backup at the bay bridge for a tuesday. kari. that's not too bad. it's not unexpected, but it is a hassle if you're in a rush. all right. traffic tuesday. and so we're starting out with some clouds overhead. and we're going to see it clearing out. we're kind of in between these two weather systems right now. so we have this one that moved through yesterday. and the next one is making its way into far northern california as we go into the afternoon. but we are going to start out with some clouds in the north bay taking a look at sonoma, where we will start out with some low 50s. at 9:00 it's 55 degrees and at lunchtime we're in the mid 60s. as we go throughout the day, we'll see those highs head for the low 70s and partly cloudy with some breezy winds. taking a look at those wind speeds, it will be at about 10 to 15mph. there and our high temperatures for this afternoon will reach into the upper 60s and low 70s. we'll even see a few mid 70s for the south county, but overall our temperatures are about the same as they were yesterday, minus

the chance of rain. but rain chances will be coming back tomorrow, so i'll be tracking that. and now let's turn to our climate in crisis. summer is wrapping up, but the temperatures is sure to get hot across california and we do have more heat ahead. and as our world warms moving forward, extreme heat could put our resources that we use for cooling at risk. researchers at uc riverside are exploring what happens to plants when they're stressed by scorching temperatures, and as a result, how humans could face the consequences, especially in urban areas. now, plants help us stay cool by providing shade, reflecting sunlight and through a process called transpiration. and we spoke with professor amir verde, who says that transpiration acts as our natural ac and could be in jeopardy if plants are in distress. plants use water through transpiration, and that's an energy consuming process. so if transpiration

stops because of lack of vegetation or plants that are under stress and they don't have enough water to transpire, then that energy would increase the air temperature. professor verde also tells us that while choosing native plants is good, research, recent research says that we should be open to new plant introductions that are showing us better results when it comes to water conservation and the cooling potential for more stories like these, learn more about climate change in the bay area, visit our website nbcbayarea.com and click on the climate crisis tab. thank you jerry. all right. well creating a united front next here on today in the bay. the way business owners in oakland coming together, attempting to change the narrative of the city's downtown scene. plus, my husband passed away from something i didn't even know existed. beloved comedic actor john ritter died 21 years ago of an aortic dissection. now, his

widow is widow is working to raise awareness. ahead, a look at the signs and who's most at risk. we'll be right back

what to expect. it's in the upper 50s, a nice cool start to the morning and will be mostly cloudy, but we are headed for more sunshine and another

pleasant day as our high temperatures here stay in the low 70s. we'll get a look at a big warm up that may come along with some rain. before that, so we'll talk about that coming up in a few minutes. and right now we're looking at the san mateo bridge. look over on the right. a good amount of taillights away from us filling in those lanes. not a lot of space between cars, but still a lot of lane changes you'll see coming toward us. eastbound moves very smoothly off of the high rise. no drama for the san mateo bridge, but those bridges are getting more crowded. thanks so much, mike. 547 right now, when actor john ritter died 21 years ago, many people had never heard of the condition that ended his life. ritter died of aortic dissection, a tear in the body's main artery, which can lead to organ damage, stroke and often death. at the time, ritter's widow, amy yasbeck, had never heard of the condition that can mimic other heart conditions. she spent the years since his death raising awareness. it's all through her work with a

foundation named for her husband. she learned that the condition affects the black community disproportionately. here she is with a critical care nurse. i have seen black individuals exhibit symptoms severe chest pain, discomfort, their cardiac test comes back negative for heart attack, but they're still feeling that severe chest pain. this is the time to advocate again to say hey, something is not right. can i have imaging done such as a ct or a cat scan? could it be aortic dissection? could it be the john ritter? the john ritter thing? say that about 20,000 people suffer aortic dissection every year, and almost half do not survive. don't ignore sudden and severe pain in your chest or back, and know that high blood pressure and age can put you at higher risk. you can learn more at john ritter foundation.org. oakland restaurant owners there

hoping to change the public safety narrative when it comes to dining in the town. restaurant owners came together last night at sober mesa to take part in the oakland restaurant marketing collective. the purpose of that collective is for businesses to come together to support and help market rich culture of oakland's dining scene, and it is an area that has truly seen the headlines of different reasons due to the ongoing crime there. what we're trying to build is that the streets have gotten better. public safety has gotten better, at least in certain areas, and we need to let our guests know that it's safer to come out and support us. i definitely have seen a difference there. all right. well, long term goal there of the collective is to form a restaurant association which speaks on their behalf. when it comes to major issues. but the top priority is now to bring customers back into the town once they can experience that kind of dining scene. well, in san francisco today, a new push to protect small businesses. supporters say that

legacy businesses are being squeezed out in too many neighborhoods at the mercy of proposed redevelopment. supervisor president aaron peskin is among those who believe that the merchants need added protections. he plans to introduce a new proposal today at today's supervisors meeting. ahead of that meeting, he and other leaders will host a news conference outside of a small business in the inner richmond. bart says the system is now ready for the big one. bart announced its $1.5 billion seismic retrofit project is now complete. construction started back in 2017. the work included strengthening the transbay tube. it was originally built to withstand a major earthquake and made it through loma prieta with no big issues, but the retrofit adds a stronger steel lining and more powerful pumping system to handle any possible leaks. two major components one is putting steel plates in the interior of sections of the tube, and then the other is increasing the pumping capacity so we would

imagine that a 500 year quake wouldn't cause too much damage. but a 1000 year quake could cause some leakage. the announcement comes on the transbay tubes 50th anniversary at the time, the three and a half mile long tube, which runs along the bottom of the san francisco bay between oakland and san francisco, was the longest immersed tube in the world. training for you. this morning. a bay area native heading to the america's got talent finals and said, i need some relief. he oh, control. oh yeah. when two weeks ago. did simon from oakland, sang a rendition of lose control by teddy swims. her performance so powerful, judge heidi klum pressed the golden buzzer. she will now be competing in this week's finale, and she says that she is ready to sing her heart

we had yesterday is now moving off towards the east and really didn't bring us much in the way of any wet weather, at least not here in the bay area. so we're looking at more clouds coming in later this evening. and look at the green there does show some spotty activity, most of it off the coast, off shore, but some of that rain may make it in as we go into tomorrow afternoon, into the evening, and there will even be a chance that we could see some pop-up thunderstorms for parts of the south county and the east bay by late tomorrow evening. we'll be watching out for that today. it's a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures well below. what's normal for this time of year in the mid 70s for cupertino and in los gatos. in san jose, it will be 73 degrees and we'll see a lot of 70s for much of the east bay in concord, 75 degrees 73 in martinez and upper 60s for oakland, also upper 60s for san mateo, palo alto. today 71 degrees and mid 60s in san francisco. north bay temperatures will hit the mid

70s and we'll see some more of those clouds moving in today. looking at fairfield, it's been nice to have a break from the high heat, although it has been very windy as we transition back and forth from warm to mild air, we are going to see it warming up by the end of the week. by friday, we're in the low 80s and look at those 90s ahead now. sunday is our first day of fall, and it's not going to feel anything like fall. it's going to feel like the middle of summer. that heat will come blasting back for the weekend. if you do have outdoor plans, make sure you have some ac, some shade, some hydration in the mix as well. and it goes from having some nice comfortable temperatures and rain chances to some summer heat and lots of sunshine. it will even be warming up in san francisco going from mid 60s and cloudy today. spotty rain and highs in the mid 60s. tomorrow to mid to upper 70s by early next week. i'll be tracking all of these changes for you and mike. you're seeing that lots of drivers are now heading into san francisco,

maybe more than your normal tuesday because we do have dreamforce in the city itself. so keep that in mind as these folks take across the bay bridge and then end up off the central freeway there in the city streets. that's right near moscone center, where you'll see the closure for howard. remember, we keep talking about that between third and fourth for the remainder of the conference. there is slowing up the incline. nothing dramatic slowing from san rafael eastbound, there's a bridge crew that typically hits the span across the area. about this time, that's probably what's happening. same thing for the build and a crash out of richmond. nothing major for the upper east shore. disabled vehicle right around the san mateo bridge, 880 moves smoothly. the south bay does start that first slowing on 101 right here. back to you. thanks, mike. happening now with classes now back in full swing. uc police are sending out a warning to cal students secure your electric scooters. that's because thefts are spiking. they recommend locking your scooter with a high quality u-lock and leaving it in a visible, well-lit area. also, write down
