out. it's going to be mostly cloudy, right at about 60 degrees at 9:00. at 1:00 at 70. and then we will see those temperatures stopping with the low 70s with those high temperatures, we won't see a significant warm up today or tomorrow, but we will talk about all of the changes ahead in our microclimate forecast coming up in a few minutes. mike, that tuesday commute is in effect. it is a little heavier a little earlier in the morning. so we're already seeing sensors changed all the way across highway four in through concord. and now 242 shows those sensors slowing in toward the pleasant hill area. that's the build for contra costa county. same thing for the upper east shore freeway, same county, same drive toward the bay bridge, where the toll plaza is full on the approach. no surprises though. the second of two crashes remains here around lakeville for west 37. but really, the only slowing maintains around the merritt island out of vallejo. now, there is more build here for vasco road. early on we saw it reached the half hour point. it's almost 35 minutes from marsh creek down to 580, which does move smoothly though, out of the altamont. back to you.

all right, mike, thank you. well, this morning we are still 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 a grand jury indictment. now, diddy is set to appear in court in about an hour. tracie strahan from our sister station in new york, is following those developments. 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 formerie 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. tracie strahan for today in the bay. 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 with keep walking.

this body camera footage shows police arresting rhyne ruth, the suspect from the 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 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 offering to provide more protection to ensure thens safe. congress is also considering boosting funding for the secret service. salesforce annual dreamforce conference kicking off today in san francisco. want to give you a live look? this

morning at that area? now, the multi-day conference is taking place at the moscone center later today. salesforce ceo marc benioff kicking things off with the keynote speech. local businesses, of course, as well as those restaurants preparing for the large crowds. and according to dreamforce website, attendees are expected to spend upwards of $2,500 just to attend the event. 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 alternate options. make sure you stick around and join us at 630 this morning, when the mayor of east palo alto will join us live. we'll talk one on one about the new efforts to clear homeless encampments in that city. 606 right now. governor gavin newsom says he has a plan to lower prices at the pump to help those trying to make it in the bay. a live look at the state capitol, where lawmakers will soon discuss the proposal today in the bay's bob redell live for us in alameda county. and, bob, do we know what the governor's suggestion here? we have a good idea. yes. good morning to you, laura and marcus. first of all, if you've been at the gas station recently to fill up a gallon of gas or several gallons in your car, you'll notice that

the prices have spiked at this chevron behind me. for instance, in dublin. gallon of gas at $5.39. you can see we're back in the $5 range at some of these locations. unfortunately, the state's division of petroleum market oversight says that this jump at the pump is due to unplanned maintenance at two bay area refineries to get to your question, what 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 and the assembly will begin to hold three hearings over the next week and a to half dive into this issue. now, the western states petroleum association, they advocate on behalf of the oil industry. they tell our sister station, kcra three in sacramento that the new tanks to hold newsom's proposed backup oil are $35 million a pop

and would take years to build because of california's strict environmental regulations and restrictions. those are costs. the association say. refiners would then pass on to the customer, which would actually make gas more expensive not only here in california but in arizona and nevada as well. again, that is their argument. republicans in sacramento, they have also introduced several bills in sacramento during this special legislative session aimed at reducing the cost of gasoline, including a suspension of the state's gas tax and a blocking of the future attempts to try to reinstate a re raise that if they were to first get it to be suspended in the first place. reporting live here in dublin. bob redell today in the bay. interesting. thank you bob. let's turn now to mike inouye where you can find some cheaper gas. i know that's the question. a lot of. i filled up last night, mike, and i was like, whoa. yeah, yeah. you know,

we've been looking around because you're not the only one. if that makes you feel any better, folks, the gas prices have indeed been creeping up. i watched my local station go up about $0.40 over the last week and a half. we're going to start in the south bay, where we're finding the best value in sunnyvale for the south bay, santa clara county. it's 417 at great gas on north matilda avenue up in the north bay, solano county. we go to vacaville for their best. it's at the club, sam's club, for their best deal of 425. the shop is on helen power drive in alameda county. the last number here we look to oakland for their lowest price of 429 telagas on telegraph avenue. all this information is on gasbuddy.com or you can report your deal for sharing with everyone on the roadway. things are moving pretty smoothly as we use that gas from some of these cars. some are evs. good stuff. through the tri-valley there is a new incident 680 at 84. we'll get more detail once chp arrives on the left side. we do see some slowing south. 880. no incident problems as far as lanes go past hayward area. but look at vasco road. we're at over a half hour already, so that's an early

start for contra costa. at least the weather is nice and cool this morning as you're heading out. may even want to grab a sweater or put a light jacket on the kids before they head out for school this morning it will be 56 degrees in danville to start, 61 in oakland and 55 in sonoma, and then as we take a look at san jose, starting out with some clouds and we will see it clearing out here. a mostly sunny day going from 60 to the mid 70s really nice and comfortable. more clouds roll in tonight and we take a look at all of our microclimates and those highs for today in the upper 70s for clear lake, but we're mostly looking at some low to mid 70s for the east bay and upper 60s and low 70s from san francisco down the peninsula. we'll talk about more changes ahead and the return to summer in our microclimate forecast. that's coming up in a few minutes. all right. thanks, gary. well thousands of californians losing their home insurance. what do you do? still ahead at 625 on today in the bay. the hearing happening today where you can make your voice heard. plus the crucial steps

you should take if you find yourself cut from your provider. well, you've heard of trump water and trump airlines and trump steaks. now there's trump crypto. we'll tell you all about that. out to the futures to look at some money. and we're still waiting of course on the fed and its decision on interest rates. plus do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once? it takes me back. all right, green day. returning to the bay area, we have a look at the preparations already underway, but this weekend show when we return. keep it right here so you can find out where you can go. enjoy it. you're watching today in the bay

the city hall insiders have a formula: grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record.

after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders. since two day interest rate meeting this morning, culminating in a big decision tomorrow. quarter point. half point. we'll see. microsoft just announced it would send a big dividend to shareholders and spend $60 billion buying back its own stock. crm that's salesforce of course. we've been talking about how dreamforce starts today amazon shocked its corporate employees when it said they'll have to come back to

work five days a week. amazon had already moved up to three days a week in office. the ceo says he wants to run amazon like a startup. all hands on deck. now, some employees complain they don't have team members, so they'll go from working alone to working alone. this is russia today. i don't know if you've watched it, but the u.s. government thinks it's propaganda. meta. what we normally call facebook has decided to ban rt and other russian state media from its platforms. russia blocked facebook's back in 2020, intel getting billions more from the u.s. government through the chips act. it also did what we said it would do last week, or maybe the week before. it's spinning off its foundry business. it just announced that intel shares jumped on the news, though intel is still down something like 60% for the year. pardon me, donald trump was on x last night speaking on its spaces feature about a new cryptocurrency company. he's launching called world liberty

financial, not 100% clear from last night's announcement what world liberty financial does, other than it's going to issue its own cryptocurrency. now, trump has been courting crypto fans. here he is. earlier this summer at a crypto coin conference talked up bitcoins and all bitcoin jobs should stay in america. but he hasn't always been a fan. in the past, trump has called cryptocurrency and bitcoin a scam against the dollar, unreliable and wholly unfounded in value. now, some of trump's critics questioned, you know, starting a new company just months before you're going to be possibly the president and the person in charge of the agencies that are in charge of supervising your company, that's happened before. also, i do want to draw your attention to something that just happened. this is instagram. they've just pushed out new features. this is also owned by meta of course, new changes to accounts for anyone under 18. brand new. this morning. the accounts will go private. instagram will stop

sending notifications to kids after 10 p.m. so they can sleep. new tools for parents so they can see what accounts kids are communicating with. as i always say, you as a parent need to understand whatever it is instagram better than the kid does him or herself, right? exactly. really important. yep. another job? yep. it's a lot of jobs. parenthood. so many jobs. so i'm told. and it never stops. never stops. just at different levels. thanks scott. you bet. all right. 617 this morning as we take a live look out at oracle park, the stage is not yet set, but it is getting there just ahead of a friday concert by some bay area modern rock giants. i walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams, where the city of berkeley is on green day, bringing their tour to oracle along with smashing pumpkins, the show includes green day

playing two of its most popular albums in their entirety dookie and american idiot, which also includes song boulevard of broken dreams. the band recently posted video from behind the scenes of the tour footage. their green day grew out of a duo formed and the late 80s by frontman billie joe armstrong and bassist mike dirnt. this is at pinole valley high school, and then from there to stardom. oh yeah. no, they're so great. broadway stage. yeah, exactly. even broadway very, very talented. so that'll be a great concert to head to. and the skies should be clear at least by then, right? yeah. and it's going to be warming up to by the end of the week. we've enjoyed a nice little cool down. and we're going to see that continue for at least the next couple of days. by tomorrow there will be more rain chances and even a few isolated thunderstorms. and then after tomorrow it quickly begins

to heat up and the rest of the forecast looks more like what we've been experiencing all summer long. so we're in between those weather systems right now. the first low is over nevada that's pushing off towards the east. the next one is still off the coast and that's going to be coming in later on this evening with rain chances increasing for tomorrow. so as we take it hour by hour, there will be sunshine and still cool temperatures today. clouds moving in late tonight. and then look at the green here. it starts off off the coast with some pretty robust showers and thunderstorms, but as it makes it into the bay area, a lot of it just fizzles out. so we're watching to see when and where we could see some of those spotty showers moving through. but most likely tomorrow afternoon and potentially into the evening with some of that activity moving into the south county as this low just spins off the coast. temperature wise, we are used to seeing highs in the 80s for the inland valleys. this time of year, but today we're staying in the 70s 73, in san jose, 71 in dublin and

martinez, 73 degrees mid 70s from napa to novato to santa rosa and san francisco will stay in the 60s. tomorrow's temperatures are about the same. and then on wednesday into thursday, that's when we start to see the temperatures ramping up. take a look at livermore. we're going from highs in the 70s to mid 80s by friday. and then mid 90s. so we are not done with the summer heat and of course the temperatures ramp up as we welcome in fall. so we're getting in that mindset on sunday of some nice warm sweaters and some pumpkin spice coffee. and it's going to be 93 degrees outside. so we'll be tracking that warm up for you. mike, you have a new crash that might affect the bay bridge. yeah, it may cause this toll plaza to be more packed up, more packed, more densely packed because they might slow those metering lights down. right now we do see these hov lanes moving very smoothly. so the span itself is all right. the traffic is being metered right here. the crash is at nine as you get into

the city, but i don't see any additional slowing on the decline. we'll track that. hopefully they can clear this in the next few seconds. that's not far from moscone center access. and remember that howard will have that restriction between third and fourth for dreamforce, and that's likely all week for the activity, even though the conference is a couple of days short of the weekend. we're looking over here toward the east shore freeway, slowing through richmond and over toward richmond bridge itself. no major problems. not a lot of slowing this crash still going on. six 8884 back to you. thanks, mike. 621 next on today in the bay, nbc bay area responds 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 there to all those who attended the ronald mcdonald house charities bay area fundraiser yesterday had the honor of emceeing the evening festivities after the golf tournament. those funds raised will help families with housing

and food while their children are receiving treatment at bay area hospitals in palo alto, san francisco and oakland. if you would like to help, no donation is too small. you can visit my facebook page. i've posted a link there. it's marcus washington nbc bay are we'll be righta.

home insurance 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 and today's meeting, in fact, comes as tens of thousands of california homeowners have been dropped by their insurance companies. and if you get the nonrenewable letter, well, you have to take action. consumer investigator chris chmura shows us drops you the state 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? well, 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. good advice. 626 where are you this morning? we've got a lot more ahead for you at 630, including clearing encampments on the peninsula. we speak live with one bay area mayor about the new resources which could soon be offered to the unhoused who moved from camps. yes, i am at dreamforce national park.

moscone center has been transformed into a bit of a wild landscape for this big conference. they're testing out the lights. that was working. we're going to tell you how to get here and how to get around. if you're not headed here, 45,000 extra people in san francisco, folks, you're going to want to know about it.

take that up a little bit higher. you should feel that, like, right back here. oh, yeah, i felt that! good, that is so much better than last week. thanks, i've been doing 'em every night while i'm watching tv. - oh, what are you watching? it's a mystery. high quality care that meets you where you are.

an assassination attempt on former president trump. new details on the suspect in trump's first hand account of the incident. plus tackling homeless on the peninsula, we are joined live by the mayor of east palo alto with the new effort being taken to clear those encampments. it's wonderful to see the streets clean a law enforcement presence. and so many people out. dreamforce is kicking off in san francisco from the future of artificial intelligence to a big boom for local business and the major impacts of traffic in the city. we're live as thousands arrive for the big conference. this is today in the bay always a fun event. seeing people come to city by the bay. good tuesday morning, i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. want to get a look at that forecast for you this morning? meteorologist kari hall has been tracking those conditions for us. and, kari, what can we expect as we step outside today? it's a nice, cool

start. it's mostly cloudy, and it may even be missing. and drizzling in san francisco. that all clearing out as we go throughout the day with some breezy winds. let's head farther inland to discovery bay, where we are starting out with some mid 50s, and we're going to see a lot of sunshine today. but that does not mean a significant warm up here. we're only going to see those highs in the mid 70s. 71 in hayward today and 68 in oakland and in san francisco. many mid 70s in the north bay. we'll talk about rain chances ahead in the microclimate forecast coming up. thank you very much, kari. 631 right now. federal officials say alleged would be assassin rhyne ruth laid in wait for 12 hours. scott mcgrew. here's the thing. trump wasn't even scheduled to be on the court that day. so the question is, how did ruth even know? this is question number one, right? 12 hours, according to cell phone records. i mean, it could have been a lucky guess. trump didn't have any campaigning scheduled. it's his golf course. it's near his

house. he likes playing golf, for that matter. the prosecution has not actually established trump was his target yet there have been headlines like secret service once again called into question, but huge differences between this incident and the shooting in pennsylvania. first and foremost, in the most recent case, the secret service stopped the gunman. here's trump speaking on x, praising their work. 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. now we have new body cam video from the local sheriff's department. as they took ruth into custody. you've seen something similar before. this is 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, i should say. ronald roe is more correctly the acting head of the secret service, stepping into the role after the previous head of the secret service stepped down after the previous assassination attempt. this latest incident has not changed any campaign schedules. candidates generally speaking, have been speaking behind glass, the secret service also discouraging trump from speaking at outdoor rallies. governor tim walz is in georgia. senator jd vance goes to michigan and wisconsin. vice president harris will be in philly. former president trump will be in flint, michigan. nobody is going to ohio. trump says he will at some point. but trump and vance continue to talk about ohio, springfield, specifically city officials there say candidates who repeat that lie that there are

residents eating cats and dogs has led to chaos at their schools and hospitals. and churches with threats called into springfield from all over the world. the governor of ohio says he's sending in state police to protect the people in 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 happening 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 russia. a few hundred miles out at best on this range, russia is reportedly already moved some of its naval assets in range and

warned the rest the west rather giving ukraine permission to use long range weapons it got from nato would be as if nato was at war with russia. also, laura, today the senate voting on ivf protection. we'll talk about that on our 8:00 streaming newscast. we'll look forward to that. it certainly affects a lot of people. thank you very much. well, this affects a lot of people. we all see homelessness really across the bay area. well, one city on the peninsula is working to try to tackle the issue. later today, east palo alto city council members will discuss a new measure aimed at getting the unhoused to move into shelters. it comes after governor gavin newsom told leaders to take up action to clean up the streets or lose funding. joining us now live is the mayor of east palo alto, antonio lopez. thanks so much for getting up early and joining us this morning, first of all, tell us about this new ordinance. and the support or any resistance maybe that you've

seen. sure. thank you so much laura. so this this resolution, what's going to do. it's going to do four things. number one, it's going to go off of what governor newsom's executive order and one, two, four was, which is to compassionately deal with the homeless. so we're going to make sure that as the winter seasons approach, to the extent that encampments are a dire risk to health and safety, flooding, fires, we know we have the winter storms coming. our city abuts the san francisquito creek. last year we had major flooding, so first and foremost, the concern for the unhoused to make sure that they receive shelter, rapid rehousing, child care, additional addiction services. number two, it will collaborate with community partners neighboring jurisdictions, including the county, to make sure that we're compassionately clearing them and having resources. thirdly it will direct staff to come to the city council on a regular basis to make sure that the residents know the due diligence we're doing to clear encampments in a compassionate and safe way. and finally, it will make

recommendations towards budgetary cuts. we know that the unhoused crisis is a regional issue. we can't do it alone. we've seen our county increase 18% in the homelessness crisis. so we're going to make sure that our city does our part and invests in additional resources for the upcoming budget year. so have you already started some of the process of it clearing these encampments? yes, to the extent that the city has had an informal practice of doing so. as i mentioned, laura, we abut the creek. we have ongoing flooding. as a matter of fact, due to climate change, it's only getting worse. so to the extent that there are encampments that pose a risk to those individuals in the in the outdoors and vulnerable to these storms, the city informally, sweeps those. but we haven't had a policy codify explicit that gives staff the direction, clear direction. and i hope that with the governor newsom's executive order and with the mandate our cities have, this is a perfect opportunity to very explicitly flush out our city's policy of

cleaning encampments. there you go. you have your policies in effect. and now just, you know, have to get it done. like all the cities across, really the state of california to get that funding back. all right. mayor antonio lopez, thanks so much for joining us. good to talk to you. thank you so much. 638 right now in less than 30 minutes, dreamforce kicking off in san francisco. now it may be hard to get around, but in the long run there could be more dollars in the city to better use of artificial intelligence as well. today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us live from over at moscone center this morning. and, kris, the lights are set and i guess we should say action. yeah. well, this is supposed to feel a little bit rustic. this is dreamforce national forest and all of the motifs are along that line. the whimsical woodland creatures. there's a park map and everything, but, you know, it is getting into the swing of things. you can hear some of the heavy equipment being moved. they're testing out the screens, the lights, and lots of people

are getting set up. 45,000 people will end up here through the next couple of days. and so there's still a lot of finishing touches before those doors open. now inside the it's all about artificial intelligence, how to maximize the use of artificial intelligence and make it work for people. again. 45,000 people have paid between $1,500 and $2,500 to be here at this conference. so that means big bucks inside moscone center, but also outside the conference. some of this is going to benefit local public schools. some of it is going to benefit ucsf. benioff children's hospital. and although the salesforce ceo marc benioff, threatened to take the event out of san francisco over issues of crime and cleanliness, the company and the city were able to make it 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. yeah i see dreamforce is also known for its star power. and over the next three days, attendees will hear concerts by pink and imagine dragons. they'll hear speakers like jane goodall, matthew mcconaughey, mark cuban, and also a lot of tech leaders who the folks inside the conference will know. but maybe those of you at home might not. some of these are going to be streamed online so you can participate virtually for free. and some of the events are also going to be streamed over to yerba buena. and that is going to be open so that people can kind of pass through and get a taste of what's happening. but it is it's nice to see that the city was able to retain this because it is a very big event here, and that means there are a lot of people heading into san francisco. and if you are coming here, you'll want to know how to get here. if you want to avoid the area. i know a guy. yeah, we

know a guy for sure. if you want to avoid the area, just stay home. but a lot of people can't stay home. mike, we have to come into the city. you know, a lot of people do that every day for work and other things. but there's going to be some workarounds, right? you'll notice on the map the green that's great. green means go. but the red means don't go or can't go because it's closed. look at this map. close up folks. that's the area right around moscone center where chris was standing. you saw the artificial stone sculptures there? i assume they're artificial stone. otherwise a tremendously heavy to block parts of howard street between third and fourth. part of third is also closed. and that's been the case actually since the beginning of the week and will continue through the end of the week, despite the fact that the bulk of the dreamforce activity is just today and tomorrow. as we're looking at the activity also over oracle park for some of the big the big concert is on the 18th. so watch for activity over there. now muni knows about this reroute. their drivers will take you around this. this is mission and here's market of course we're looking at the area getting close toward the bay bridge. howard at fourth is the access point. to get to the bay bridge, you'll have to reroute

around that. howard between fourth and fifth will be changed from one way to two. way to make alternate plans for some of the transportation, and then overnight, starting at ten. they may have that central freeway project that i told you about as well. so that could complicate things through the area. watch for the signage and be prepared for some delays right around moscone center. the rest of the morning shows a typical tuesday, slowing through walnut creek and the upper east shore freeway. back to you. thanks mike. creating a united front as the city of oakland garners a bad rap for crime. a look at the way business owners are coming together to try to change that narrative. plus, researching the impacts of our climate in crisis, the effect heat is having on our house plants, and how soon is too soon for holiday shopping. we're going to hear from an expert about when you should get started. now that we're 99 days away from christmas. keep it here. we'll be right back

why choose a mobile network built for places you'll probably never be... ...instead of for where you are most of the time? xfinity mobile was designed for where you need it most. now xfinity internet customers can buy one line

of unlimited and get one free for a year. the city hall insiders have a formula: grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery.

san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders. summer is wrapping up, but temperatures sure did get hot across california. and as our world warms moving forward, extreme heat could put the resources we use for cooling at risk. researchers at uc riverside are exploring what happens to plants when they're stretched, stressed by scorching temperatures, and as a result, how humans could face the consequences, especially in urban settings. plants help us stay cool by providing shade

reflecting sunlight and through a process called transpiration. 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 says that while choosing native plants is good, recent research shows that we should be open to new plant introductions that are showing better results when it comes to water conservation and cooling potential. for more stories like these, and to learn more about climate change in the bay area, visit our website nbcbayarea.com and click on the climate in crisis tab. all right kerry thank you. well, oakland restaurant owners are hoping to

change the public safety narrative when it comes to dining in the town. restaurant owners coming together last night over at silver mesa. this is as part of the oakland restaurant marketing collective. the purpose of the collective is for businesses to come together to support and help market rich culture of oakland's dining scene. it's an area that's been in the headlines for different reasons due to ongoing crime. 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. long term goal for the collective is to form a restaurant association, which speaks on their behalf when it comes to major issues. but the top priority now is to bring customers back to the town's one of a kind dining experience. new at 6:00, there are only 99 days until christmas, and maybe you're asking, well, who's counting? well, we can tell you right now, retailers are

america's biggest chains. are already getting their holiday shopping deals in place. in fact, just under half of all americans actually start their holiday shopping before halloween arrives. and with amazon's prime days happening october 8th and ninth, one expert expects everyone else to fall in line. we are seeing now our retailers trying to beat amazon at their own game, and so they're coming out with their flashy sale maybe a week before amazon prime day. so if you're among those who want to start early, you plan to spend less this year. you're certainly not alone. just about one third of those surveyed are tightening the belt this season. watch the entire story on the today show. it's coming up right after today in the bay at 7:00. well, trending this morning. a bay area native heading to the america's got talent finals. who said, i need some relief? yeah. oh control. oh yeah. so, two

weeks ago, the woman you see right there, didi simon from oakland, sang a rendition of lose control by teddy swims. her performance so powerful. judge heidi klum pressed the golden buzzer, pushing her all the way to the finals. she will now be competing in this week's finale. she says that she is ready to sing her heart out. i'm just going to sing the next song over and over and over again until it's mine. and the way she sings it will be hers. and remember, you can help didi crush the competition tonight by voting for her on the agt app or casting your vote online. agt airs tonight at 8:00 right here on nbc bay area. all right. she's got a strong voice there. hopefully a lot of strong support from the bay area. all right. we're seeing everything this week when it comes to the forecast. we do also have the chance of rain that's going to be coming in tomorrow, along with the cooler weather. and

then we'll be heating up by the end of the week. take a look at all the changes and what to expect today. still nice with a mix of sun and clouds and cooler than normal temperatures. but tomorrow more clouds will also be rolling in with the chance of some spotty showers and maybe even a thunderstorm or two. we'll be tracking that and then after that, we'll be heating up by the end of the week. so we're in between these weather systems right now. the first one moving off towards the east. you can see the low spinning over nevada. and continuing to moving move off towards the east. the next one is dipping in from the coast and will be approaching the bay area with some clouds tonight and that rain possibility tomorrow, mostly during the afternoon, and we see a little bit of green, a lot more of the active showers offshore. but then as it moves into the bay area, a lot of that just dissipates. but we're still going to be watching out for that chance of at least some spotty showers. and we may see some more activity getting going over the south county late tomorrow night. so that's what we're watching as far as the radar. but our temperatures are

so comfortable. we're in the low to mid 70s and for a lot of spots this is almost ten degrees cooler than what we typically see for mid september. 73 in walnut creek and 74 in pleasanton in hayward today 71 for that high, 70 in redwood city and mid 60s in san francisco. it's also going to be partly cloudy and breezy and 75 in sonoma, as well as novato upper 70s for the north bay. let's head to one of our warmer inland spots where we've been able to enjoy no ac, just opening up the windows and enjoying a nice little breeze. but over the next few days, we'll be closing the windows, turning the air conditioning back on and look at how hot it's going to be. now you know that on sunday we officially begin fall. it's going to be 95 degrees. yeah we're going to have more heat coming in on monday, even hotter. and it looks like that heat kind of just sticks around for a while into much of next week. so we're

going to enjoy the cool down while we have it. and our little taste of fall that comes along with a chance of showers in san francisco as we go into tomorrow afternoon, we'll be tracking all the changes for you and mike. you have something to avoid in the south bay commute. yeah, we see the northbound routes show that build typical for a tuesday. pretty heavy now early in the commute before 7:00. these are really kicking in, but we'll watch 280 reports of a porta potty that has been off the trailer here on 280 right around mclaughlin reports are that it's in southbound 280, but the slowing shows northbound watch both directions for a traffic break. that's definitely one to avoid. the rest of the bay. a pretty standard tuesday bill, but that does mean more traffic through the tri valley. back to you. thanks so much, mike. 653 right now and happening now, 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. it's all being done in an effort to get more voters educated and registered to vote. there's a lot at stake this year with a
