the reason behind the firing of an assistant chief and the accusations the sheriff is making against another high ranking county official. plus, new health guidelines ahead of the winter season. the steps experts say you should take now to protect yourself against covid, flu and rsv and tracking

a fall warm-up. here's a live look outside for you this morning. meteorologist kari hall is tracking an incoming heat advisory for the bay area. this is today in the bay. and good monday morning to you. thanks for starting your week with us. i'm marcus washington. hope you're coming off a great weekend. i'm laura garcia. we'll check that morning commute with mike some updates when it comes to those roadways that were closed. but also no one updated mother nature telling her that fall actually started yesterday. and because today is the first full day of fall, with fall starting yesterday morning at 5:44 a.m, well, we are dealing with some higher heat, so this is our first 24 hours of seeing our fall season. and now we have a heat advisory in effect for much of the east bay into the south bay, as well as the santa cruz mountains. so today it's going to be hot. but at least we do have a nice, cool, refreshing

start to the day. we're in the upper 40s in sonoma and santa rosa, 47 degrees. while it's 55 in oakland and 61 in san jose. a cool morning leading to this, where we are going to have a moderate to major heat risk for parts of the south bay, as well as the east bay. those areas in red where we are looking at temperatures this afternoon headed for the mid to upper 90s and a few triple digits. so we'll talk more about this and the cooldown ahead. that's in a few minutes, but mike, you were saying that caltrans crews are very busy over the weekend. they were and they were very efficient. so just earlier, a little earlier than expected before 4:00 this morning, they did reopen southbound 680. those lanes were closed for the majority of the weekend into this morning and into the late night hours. again, southbound 680 is reopened without any problem. you have a new concrete surface through many of those lanes as you head southbound. there are a couple of more project weekends in the future will warn you, of course, about them, as we did for this one on

the peninsula. there's a crash on the shoulder around woodside in the northbound direction in the south bay. i was watching reports of a disabled vehicle in the middle of 101, right around matilda. it looks like it may have cleared. there was no slowing or any problems for the south bay. back to you. thanks, mike. this morning there's more bad blood between the san mateo county sheriff and some county leaders. this as each side now investigating the other. today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us from the newsroom this morning with more. and kris, this is an unusual action that's been taken right now. right. and unusual timing. it was not exactly a quiet, mellow weekend in san mateo county where sheriff cristina corpus announced that she is now investigating the county executive for what she says is interfering with her ability to do her job. the sheriff's announcement and call for san mateo supervisors to investigate mike kahleah for alleged interference with unions and bullying. kelly has not responded to our request for comment at this point, but the sheriff told us she will take this complaint all the way to

the state if it goes unheard by supervisors. i sent a formal complaint letter to the president of the board of supervisors calling for the bullying tactics of the county executive, mike kelly, to cease immediately. let me make this clear. i will not tolerate further interference in my lawful duties as sheriff. this latest turn comes just days after the sheriff fired assistant sheriff ryan monahan. she says, for not sharing her vision for the department, but which some supervisors says looks like retaliation for speaking to retired judge ladoris cordell, who is in charge of the investigation into personnel issues in the sheriff's department, which corpus has led since january of 2023. so the statement from the board of supervisors about that reads in part, the timing of the sheriff's action and information provided by assistant sheriff monahan suggest possible retaliation against assistant sheriff monahan for participating in judge cordell's

independent investigation. judge cordell has been requested to investigate whether assistant sheriff monahan has suffered retaliation for participating in this independent investigation. a corpus says all of this chaos is putting san mateo county's safety on the line, particularly at the county's correctional facility. marcus all right, chris, thank you. well, in the south bay, a person has died. this is after their car went over a cliff crashing below. it happened in mount hamilton yesterday afternoon. this is near state route 130 and kincade road. that vehicle reportedly fell more than 100 yards from the roadway. cal fire and chp were involved in the recovery operation. there's no word just yet on what led to that crash. happening today, san francisco police will hold a virtual town hall in response to a recent officer-involved shooting at the powell street bart station. the incident unfolded ten days ago. the suspect was injured. police

say it started as a confrontation with an armed man sitting in a stolen car near the station, and that's when the suspect took off, running first into a liquor store. he started firing at officers at the station, and that's when officers returned fire. today's town hall starts at 3:00 this afternoon. happening now. hundreds of hotel workers in san francisco are now on strike. it comes after their contract expired in august. the hospitality workers are part of the unite here local two. they include housekeepers and servers. now, union members are seeking a new contract with hyatt, hilton and marriott hotel chains. workers were on the picket line at three hotels around union square yesterday. we have, you know, our our wages is one of our key issues. many of our members commute from far away. the cost of living has gone up exponentially in the past couple of years, and so big wage increases are really important for us maintaining our medical benefits and having a decent retirement. now, in a

statement, hyatt said it's disappointed workers decided to strike while remaining willing to continue to bargaining in good faith. it has plans in place to minimize any impact on hotel operations, marriott says that the westin saint francis remains open and they remain available to meet with the union to reach an agreement. now to a look from our nation's capital. this morning. later this week, the house is expected to vote on a short term bill to avoid a government shutdown. right now, funding is set to run out october 1st. speaker mike johnson is promoting the measure, which does not include any part of the save act. the act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote. however, the bill does include an additional $231 million for the secret service. the bill would keep the government running through december 20th after a covid summer surge. here in california, medical professionals are once again urging the public to get vaccinated against covid and the

flu. there are three covid vaccines to tt includes two mrna vaccines. now, they may be familiar with them, you know, pfizer and moderna vaccines from the past years. the third option is the only non mrna updated covid vaccine from novavax novavax vaccines are recommended for those six months or older. the same is true for the annual flu vaccine as well as rsv vaccine that's available, particularly for older adults over the age of 75. so i'll be doing the interview, and i'll be gathering some sound that we can use tomorrow morning on our sho. now, doctors say those 65 and above with underlying health conditions and infants heading into their first winter season should also get the rsv vaccine. let's take a live look outside in the east bay this morning, waiting for the sun's arrival. good morning folks in walnut creek. kerry's got a look at our forecast today. well, keep the shorts handy. absolutely and if

you have a pool or know someone with a pool, it might be a great day to take a dip. it's going to be a hot one. and tomorrow the heat advisory continues. but the good thing about this little spike in heat is it only lasts two days. by midweek on wednesday, we're starting to feel some cooler air coming down and coming in as we get a look at dublin. we're starting out temperatures in the low 60s at 8:00 at noon. it is already 87 degrees and we're headed for the mid 90s. today and we are going to have those temperatures up to 99 in concord, 96 in santa rosa. even warming up in san francisco with a high of 84. so we'll talk more about that cooldown coming up in a few minutes. mike, you've been watching those gas prices. how are they looking? you know, looking about the same as we ended last week. we'll talk about the south bay's best. 419 today though, there's one good spot. it's national petroleum on old san francisco road in sunnyvale. same for

contra costa county. they're best in concord at clayton gas and wash on clayton road again. that's in concord, though. same for 19. and then going north to solano county we go up a dime for their best in vallejo. the valero on redwood parkway. go ahead and get your updates. or maybe you can report some prices here gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, we look at a smooth flow of traffic. this monday morning we have that reopening of 680, but not everybody has heard about that. so they may be taking that 84 cut through just to be sure, because it looks like a little more traffic heading down towards sunol through that route than we typically see no problems out of the altamont pass smooth drive for much of contra costa county and the north bay along with the peninsula. they're all at speed right now. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. so if you're considering gifting gift cards for the holidays, you might want to reconsider. today on today in the bay, the growing number of unused gift cards and unspent money plus doesn't kill you. makes you stronger. stand a little taller. doesn't mean i'm

lonely when i'm alone. hey today a brand new season of the kelly clarkson show begins. we're going to hear from the star about what she's looking forward to most this season and the big names joining her to kick off the new season. stick a 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.

a while to in the upper 50s. the start. it's nice and clear and a very gradual warming trend here. going into the upper 70s at noon. it will be a warm day, but palo alto, you're not included in the heat advisory. we'll talk about the areas that are and how long it lasts. coming up in a few minutes. tough to believe the heat advisory when you're looking at this live look at the golden gate bridge. will fog here to obscure our view. nothing these locals can't handle with a clear view at the markets. let's check in this morning with silvana miramar park. wall street is set to open slightly lower as the markets come off a winning week with the dow closing at a record high on friday. above 42,000. the dow, the nasdaq and the s&p 500 all rising more than 1% on the week, propelled by the federal reserve's decision to cut interest rates by half a percent. and while september is historically the worst month for stocks, that's not the case this year. the markets are on track

to post a gain for the first time in five years. now, in focus this week, we get data on home prices, consumer confidence, new and pending home sales, durable goods, personal income and spending, and inflation. apple's former design guru jony ive has confirmed he's working with open ai ceo sam altman on a new device. in a profile in the new york times, i-5 says he met altman through the ceo of airbnb, and their new venture is being funded by i-5 and the emerson collective, the company, run by laurene powell jobs now. the project doesn't have many employees yet, but it includes two people who worked with i-5 on the iphone last year. reports said the ai device was rumored to be inspired by touch screen technology, and the original iphone, and more than 40% of adults have at least one unused gift card voucher or store credit, totaling about $27

billion in outstanding value. a new bankrate survey finds the average amount per person is $244. that's up from $187 last year. now, more than one third of people have lost money due to a misstep with a gift card, such as letting a card expire, losing the card, or even having a store go out of business before they could use it. guys, i have a gift card in my purse from petsmart. it's been there for years. oh yeah, i have tons. i have, you know, babies r us. they expired. i've got, you know, an amc one. they don't take it anymore. yeah, i got 1 in 2005 to nordstrom. but when i didn't live in a place where they had a nordstrom so i never used it go online i guess. well this was in 2005. wow. long time ago. i don't even know where it is now. so all right well happy gifting. we can regift them silvana that we can. well, look, since we're talking about gift cards, spending and money, let's talk about this because new this morning, gen z and millennials, they are being called out for

what many are now calling doom spending. so there's apparently a growing trend right now spending money on luxuries like travel designer clothes instead of saving that money. it's usually happening when a person feels pessimistic about the economy and their future. those bad feelings can translate into bad spending habits, and experts recommend only buying items in person, they say standing in line sometimes can help you kind of like slow down and rethink critical purchases. so good advice there. well, this afternoon the kelly clarkson show returns to nbc bay area for its sixth season, and we've got a sneak peek. kelly clarkson is performing on the roof of 30 rockefeller center, and if you're just hearing about it now, where have you been? get yourself to 30 rock right now, please. she's headed to the roof. big stars all coming out for the show, which is happening on the rooftop of 30 rock in new york city. guests include halle berry, kelsey grammer, colin farrell and a performance by keith urban. i also got the

chance to catch up with kelly about what she's most excited about. selfishly, as an artist, i always look forward to like the random musical opportunities that kind of arise. but i also get very excited. like i've been telling everybody, i get, i got back from like summer break with my kids, and i just saw this list of people that are not only in premiere week, but like just on the season, a fan favorite on the show, kelly, of course, clarkson puts her own spin on popular songs for her karaoke segment. and one artist she told me she's loving right now like everyone else. chappell roan, who just won the vma for best new artist. i like, wore her out this summer at my ranch. i like while i was gardening, while i was mowing, whatever i was doing, even riding around my property like, i. i love her so much, she benson bethune fletcher i've just been into this, like younger crowd. i love what they're doing. it's very, very cool. so yeah, i'm stoked

you're going to hear several of her songs. season six of the kelly clarkson show premieres at 3:00 this afternoon, and then you can catch it every weekday right here on nbc bay area. she's a lot of fun. yes she is. she has stephen a smith. so they're the announcer at the beginning. so boom, she's got everybody in. yeah, exactly. all she needs is the four of us. we're available. kelly, for a. you had a pretty good lineup, right? yeah. they take a while before she cools down a little bit. i know, let's talk about this heat. yeah. that's not cooling down yet. we are going to have some hot temperatures today. and it's mainly this afternoon and away from the coast in the bay. so as we take a look at san francisco, you can see just how shallow the fog is right over the bay. it is so low. and this is going to clear out quickly over the next few hours. heat advisory in effect for the santa cruz mountains. parts of the south bay into the south county, and pretty much all of the east bay away from

parts of the inner bay. so you're going to see those temperatures cranking up today, but also it will look hazy outside as our air quality turns moderate, which we do typically see on these hotter days. the air isn't mixing out as much. we don't have as much of a breeze, and all of those pollutants make our air quality a little bit more unhealthy and will be moderate for today. so as we take a look at what to expect, our temperatures go from mid 50s in the morning here into the low 80s, so even the city will be warming up with a high of 84 degrees in the north bay. it's going to be in the mid 90s this afternoon, 96 in moraga, concord, 99 degrees and 92 in san jose. tomorrow in some spots it's about the same, while other areas get some slight relief. we'll see that in the peninsula as well as the south bay, with san jose's high going from low 90s to upper 80s. so we're making some progress. and in san francisco and along the coast on wednesday, it is much cooler as

we see those highs drop back to the upper 60s. the fog will return and that will help us out in the valleys as well. looking at morgan hill, hot start to the week wednesday, it is looking really nice, but we do still have some warm temperatures ahead by the end of the week. you can see those steps just going up and down the battle that we always see in the fall between the hot air and the cool air. and as of now, as we take a look at the 7-day forecast, the hot temperatures will be winning the battle as we are just now starting out with fall and then looking at san francisco, going from low 80s today to upper 60s by wednesday, and then back into the seconds for the rest of the week. mike, you're seeing the first signs of the commute showing up. yeah a typical struggle between a number of cars and number of lanes available. we're having this point where we change the slowing drive across the bridge at merritt island, because there are more cars and can go through at speed. so we're looking at that typical build highway 4 should show the next oh, there

it goes. look at that little break taps coming into concord and then heading over toward 242. no surprises on this pattern. the bay bridge maintains a smooth drive, some low clouds drifting through. we'll watch the visibility there. an easy flow of traffic. the peninsula has this crash on the shoulder 101 at woodside. it's been there for a while, but no lanes blocked. altamont pass looks great coming down out of contra costa county and into alameda county. that would be 580 at vasco road, the main connector already adding on a couple of minutes for the morning commute, indicating that volume starting to build. already heading south out of contra costa county. back to you. all right. thank you mike. well, next here on today in the bay nbc bay area responds a contractor has one step left to finish a job, but he's ghosting a customer. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay

ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow. i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪

some help. good morning. you might understand why michael in san jose was sort of boiling. he paid fast water heater company 139 bucks to install a new heater, including 244 bucks for a city permit. but two months later, no permit. plus the installer wasn't responding to his calls. so michael asked us

for help. we contacted fast water heater. it told us it fumbled his permit. it wasn't his fault and that they would take care of it. it did. michael got a permit the same day that $244 permit. the city tells us permits and inspections are required for water heater installations, and they're allowed after installation to account for emergencies and such. the permit office recommends property owners make contractors get the permit because whoever gets it holds the liability for the work. you can contact us just like michael did. snap the qr code on screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form online. always useful information. thanks kris. 526 right now. coming up next, the top stories. we're following for you today, including a smash and grab in the middle of a crowded mall. thieves targeted jewelry store in contra costa county. ahead the steps police are now taking to try to track down the suspects. i'm ginger conejero saab in san francisco. mayor

london breed is making a move to support san francisco's embattled public school system. we'll tell you her plans up ahead.

have a live report on his connection to the victim, plus growing concern within the san

francisco unified school district. details on a closed meeting held over the weekend. also, the new team mayor london breed, is assigning to help and heating up. here's a live look outside. meteorologist kari hall tracking the rising temperatures. and when we'll see that cool down. this is today in the bay. wait until you see the 7-day forecast. good morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. all right. let's talk about it. meteorologist kari hall, of course. been looking at that forecast. and if we love summer, then you're going to love this week. yeah, i guess so. you know, we still have summer hanging on there with those temperatures that are going to be hot for the afternoon. it's the south bay, the east bay and the santa cruz mountains that will be included in this heat advisory that starts at 11:00. this morning. the bay and the coast not included, but it still will be warm today. warmer than what we have seen. the high of 84 in san francisco, 90 in mountain view,

as well as 90 in fremont and 100 in fairfield. in the south county will be very close to 100 degrees today, and we'll also be just as hot tomorrow. so we're not seeing things cooling off just yet. but we'll talk about what's ahead coming up in a few minutes. mike, you're saying the lanes are pretty clear at the bay bridge toll plaza as far as the traffic flow goes, there's some low clouds hovering around. not a problem for folks. and we're looking over here toward the rest of the bay. the volume at the toll plaza does show is starting to increase, and we see the arrow pointing into san francisco. along the slower drive, the decline picks up the volume lowers the speeds. they'll probably turn those metering lights right on schedule. highway 37 highway 4. top of the screen. both typical slowing in the commute directions through contra costa county. 84 still sees a little early slowing. i think that's because folks were avoiding that dublin interchange, but it did reopen just before scheduled this morning. so that's great news for folks traveling through san ramon south into dublin. and the south bay itself. we had an earlier little fire along 87 at

capitol. looks like everything is clear without incident. back to you. good to know. thank you. mike. well, later this afternoon, police are expected to release more information about a man arrested in connection with a deadly shooting of a vta bus driver today in the bay's. bob dale joins us live with more. and, bob, i understand the two were coworkers. they were. but we don't know why. the one man allegedly shot the other person. we might learn more during a news conference. santa clara county sheriff's office is scheduled a news conference. joint news conference with the valley transportation authority. the vta at 130 this afternoon to update us on the latest development, the latest development being yesterday. yesterday, just after noon, detectives arrested this man, duk ming bui. this was near his home in san jose. he's 33 years old. he's accused of shooting and killing a coworker who was a bus driver at the vta just before 10:00 on friday night. this was at the vta shibuya division yard on south seventh street in san jose. the victim did die at the scene. again, we

don't know what motivated bui to allegedly shoot this person. he has been booked into the santa clara main jail on a murder charge. this is the second deadly shooting at the valley transportation authority in three years. you'll recall in 2021, an employee shot and killed nine coworkers at a vta facility before taking his own life. with this incident, it's triggering to some of some of our folks we really thought we were, you know, getting past some of the some of the stuff from before. and obviously this is going to spur a lot of that back. we want to make sure that our employees understand that this is a different incident than what had happened a while back. we are here to support them. this is a different environment. the vta says it's offering mental health support for its employees after friday's shooting, they point out they built a strong support program with the union. the union that represents the workers since the

2021 mass shooting. reporting live, bob redell today in the bay. all right, bob, thank you. a santa cruz county judge today may set a trial date for a man convicted in juvenile court nearly a decade ago for murdering his young neighbor. the case made bay area headlines when it happened several years later, adrian gonzalez finally pleaded guilty to the kidnaping, rape and killing of eight year old maddie middleton because he soon to turn 25. the court recently ordered a jury trial on his possible release from juvenile detention. two weeks ago, gonzalez received new counsel. well, police in the east bay are combing through security video, hoping to identify the suspects behind a brazen smash and grab. this happened at the kay jewelers inside concord's sun valley mall around 1:00 yesterday afternoon. now, police say five men wearing dark clothing ran into that store and started smashing the cases. those thieves were in and

out in less than two minutes. it's unclear how many and how much they got away with. i just feel bad because i think i've seen the people there before and like the owners, and they just look nice. i just hope for the best for them. you know, like the people working there, because that's trauma. police say no one was physically hurt. kay jewelers is boarded up and it's unclear when it will reopen. in san francisco, mayor london breed is making a move to support the struggling san francisco unified school district. she's creating what she calls a school stabilization team. today in the bay ginger conejero saab joins us live this morning. and ginger. this comes just hours after the school board actually held an emergency closed door meeting. that's correct. laura, good morning to you. now, the board kept it somewhat vague. it said that it would discuss a public employee performance evaluation. listen to this. there's a number of

very significant and very concerning issues that that the board of education has become aware of, and that the board has not received, full information on, on what our plan is as a district, to be able to address those issues and move forward. that is the school board president calling the issues that sfusd is facing very significant and very concerning. the district has announced a plan to close some schools next year, citing declining enrollment and a revenue shortage. now that list of schools was supposed to come out last week, but instead that anticipated announcement has been pushed back to october. the school board has released a list of priorities for superintendent matt wayne to focus on in the coming months, including balancing the budget. now, after yesterday's meeting, mayor london breed joined the conversation, saying she's allocating $8.4 million in

unallocated funds to help stabilize public schools. not only that, she's also putting together a team of city leaders and education experts. calling it a school stabilization team that will be co-led by maria su of the department of children, youth and their families. and phil ginsberg, the general manager of recreation and parks department. now, this is not the first time that the two have collaborated. su and ginsberg partnered during the pandemic to open community hubs in the city when schools closed down. now, the former superintendent of long beach unified and former member of the state board of education will also serve as a special advisor that is, doctor karl cohen. other members include members from the offices of the comptroller, the treasurer, the tax collector, human services, and human resources. now, in an open letter to families, mayor london breed opened up. she said that she would not be where she is if

not for the public school system in the city, and asked that she is going to do everything that she can to support those families during this time. now, sfusd is the seventh largest school district in the state. it's got over 120 schools and over 50,000 students. so you can really imagine the impact that these issues, especially this announcement, this looming announcement, has on those families. very much so. they're just kind of waiting to see. thank you very much, ginger, for the latest. we'll keep tabs. also in san francisco, a controversial bike line could see its final days. the city last year installed a center bike lane. this is on valencia from 15th street to market. and you can see here on the map there, just to the corner of the screen. parked cars act as a barrier between traffic and the cyclists. but neighbors and business owners quickly complained about the restricted turning options for those cars and the re designated parking spaces. the meeting at the valencia gardens community room will focus on the proposed redesign, which would make the

bike line curbside once again. now if approved by the sfmta board this fall, that new lane could be installed in january. 538 as you're getting ready for your monday morning taking a peek outside, i know i was excited. first day of fall. let's pick something foolish. cozy sweater. oh wait a minute. it's going to be hot today. short sleeves. not yet, but soon. now we are going to see temperatures heating up today as we check out san rafael heading out in the north bay. it is chilly here. we do have at least some sweater weather to start. it is 48 degrees and we will see that fog drifting around through 7:00. and then at 8:00 the sun is peeking out and then we begin to quickly heat up. over the next several hours, already at 81 degrees at noontime, and we will see highs in those areas in the mid 90s. much of the north bay upper 90s for the interior, east bay, fairfield today up to 100 degrees. san francisco today

84. so even warm in the city while the south bay will be in the low 90s through san jose and upper 90s for morgan hill and san mateo. today we're looking at a high of 81 degrees. tomorrow it's pretty much the same, although some of the coastal areas will start to cool down, the valleys will still be just as hot. mike, now you have an update along the peninsula. yeah, the first crash we reported alongside the roadway 101 at woodside. the updated location from chp is it's closer to marsh. same area and still no slowing shows up because that crash is just off the roadway. so we may see more slowing as crews arrive to pull that vehicle out of a ditch. but we'll let you know as chp updates as i'm watching. and i don't see any slowing, it will be just at the top of the screen here. haven't seen a problem. this is 101 at university and nearby. we have overnight work that will close down the onramp from oregon expressway. so keep that in mind. you can easily get over to embarcadero, but that's a little look ahead. what might be an issue for nights for the for the rest of the week during

the day. we have this build right on schedule here at the bay bridge toll plaza. we now finally see the slowing start to build at the toll plaza itself. it was slow on the approach across the bay bridge, and that is a typical morning pattern. then this evening note there's activity over here at chase center. nicki minaj concert at 8 p.m, so we'll have crowds getting over to the to the chase center. that's just off of 280. not really adjacent. so there should be traffic flow pretty easy. but watch for increased volume over here in the china basin area. as we zoom out, we see that slower drive across the span. the reason why the metering lights likely turned on now and we're watching highway 37. there's a crash around mare island where it typically does slow down. anyway, this should quickly get to the shoulder, but we'll track that slowing for highway four. and now a little bit for 242. back to you. thanks, mike. well, new health concerns revealed overnight for pope francis. ahead here on today in the bay. the reason the pontiff is now canceling scheduled appearances. plus, a tribute to martial arts legend. the way one east bay city is honoring bruce lee. later today. also because, believe it or not,

we need more doctors like you. doctors who help the unhelpful. they're going to hate me. no, they're gonna tolerate you like i do. excited to talk about this brand new series. brilliant minds, set to premiere tonight. right here on nbc bay area. so ahead of the premiere, we're going to speak with the leading actors of the show. and one of them actually sharing what you

americans have also been told to evacuate. israel and hezbollah, which is an ally of hamas, have been fighting since the start of the israel-hamas war last year. we spoke to a bay area family member of one of the hostages, kidnaped and killed by hamas. she says the only path forward is making a deal to bring the remainder of the hostages home. it is such a horrible humanitarian crisis that is affecting people from different countries around the world of different religions. and it is it is a crisis that must come to an end. and the only way to bring that crisis to an end is to come to a deal that will release the hostages and give, both the israelis and the palestinians are hope for a better future. an israeli military official told nbc news that israel wants to create safe conditions for its own citizens

a much smaller gap. the harris-walz campaign is setting its sights on winning over voters in key battleground states, including north carolin, a state mr. trump won by a narrow margin in 2020. we've got offices all across that state. we are making volunteer shifts, making calls, knocking doors in that state. the former president will make his case during a rally in pennsylvania today. inflation and the economy remain top issues for many voters, with polls showing mr. trump holding an advantage over harris. supporters urge him to make that a key part of his message. talk about crime. talk about the economy. talk about inflation. talk about border. that's the way you persuade people in this country. we have an obligation to persuade people to vote for us. harris plans to counter that messaging by outlining her economic vision in a speech on wednesday in washington, brie jackson nbc news. 548. new this

morning, we're learning pope francis has a mild case of the flu. this is forcing the vatican to cancel all of his events today. you may recall the pope was hospitalized earlier this year in april. he spent three days in the hospital with bronchitis. the vatican says the pontiff is resting for a few days before expected to head to belgium later this week. happening today, the city of oakland is set to rename a street in honor of martial arts icon bruce lee. the ceremonial signed for bruce lee way is set to be unveiled at 10:00 this morning on broadway and garnet. now, that is that area where lee had a studio and where he developed his expression of martial arts. the school is dedicated to the teachings of lee and his mentor, james jim lee. we spoke with one person whose father was a student of both. it's just the proper way of paying somebody back, you know, paying them back to what he gave, what now they're giving him, remembering him. when we first met him, we were just, like, frozen. because there was

to us, it was like seeing superman. and it was one of our idols. and we actually got to see a hero. i imagine. so today's ceremony will honor bruce lee's contributions to film martial arts and his role in promoting cultural diversity and breaking racial barriers. now to a live look at the oakland coliseum this morning. that's where starting tomorrow, the a's face the rangers. and yep, that final series ever in oakland. it's hard to even say. you can be sure right now fans are getting obviously a little sentimental. i'm cheering. and you know, i plan to go watch them again. and you know sacramento and also in vegas kind of grew up watching the a's. i'm going to be sad when they leave because i got to see ricky. reggie the whole game i have a lot of tissues that i'm carrying with me. it's hard. it's so hard. i know the last game. there won't be a dry eye in this whole place. yeah. no kidding. i mean, ricky, reggie, you think of just the legends at play there. the a's swept over

the weekend by the yankees, ending with a74 loss yesterday. thursday's final home game is already sold out. well, happening tonight. nbc's fall season gets a big shot in the arm with a new medical drama. yeah, it's inspired by the work of renowned neurologist oliver sacks. and here is your office. i'm right down the hall. yeah, just like in med school. except now we're prescribing drugs instead of taking them. speak for yourself. a brilliant mind. stars zachary quinto and timbaland perry. he plays a neurologist, doctor oliver wolfe. she plays his close confidante. the pair lead a team of physicians exploring the mind of human brain functions. i recently spoke with them both about their characters and the unique relationship they share on camera. i get the benefit of all that source material, and none of the tethers to the time period, or the vocal patterns, or the mannerisms of the man himself. so it was a wonderful hybrid creative experience. she's his voice of reason, but

she also knows for a fact that he knows what he's doing. their partnership, indeed. so brilliant minds is going to debut tonight at 10:00 right here on nbc bay area. it's going to be followed by the voice. new episodes stream the next day on peacock. there you go. okay. fall lineup coming up saturday night live starting next week. yeah right. that's always exciting. it is exciting. well, at least you know the fall lineup is one thing. fallish around here as the weather certainly isn't it? yeah. temperatures not so much. it's still going to be hot the next few days, and our temperatures are going to be going up and down as we go throughout the week. so we are dealing with a hot start to fall, especially in the valleys. and tomorrow that heat advisory continues. but we'll see those temperatures dropping quickly by midweek and it will be cooler for a little bit. now we're nice and cool this morning. that's the advantage we have here in the bay area is that we do still

cool down in the overnight hours for the most part, and we are in the upper 40s for santa rosa and sonoma. it is 54 in danville and 56 in south san jose. but then as we go into the day, it's going to look hazy. and with the high pressure that we get that causes the hotter temperatures, we also don't get the air mixing out as much. so those pollutants just hang around. they settle into the valleys and that affects what we're breathing in moderate air quality. some of the worst of that in santa clara valley, as well as the east bay, north bay is going to see some moderate air quality for today. and most likely tomorrow as well. a look at our high temperatures. los gatos today 96 degrees. air conditioning on full blast will be 99. in gilroy and also looking at some mid to upper 90s for much of the east bay, with concord up to 99 degrees 101 in antioch and in hayward 91 degrees. some low 90s for redwood city and in daly city a nice, comfortable 73 degrees. it will also be 73 for

the outer sunset, but for downtown san francisco, the mission district today expects some 80s and mid 90s for much of the north bay. from novato to napa, all the way up to clear lake. so looking at santa rosa and what to expect with those temperatures in the 90s, it's only slightly better tomorrow. but look at the big cooldown that we have coming on wednesday, and then it starts to come back up on thursday and then it will be hot. to start out our weekend. but then the temperatures coming back down. so as we typically see for the beginning of fall, it's the battle of the air masses where it's hot. one day it's cool the next, and we'll be seeing those temperatures going back and forth throughout the week in san francisco. it's the fog that rolls in that really brings some relief, and we'll see that coming in on wednesday. mike. the bay bridge seems slower right now. it does seem to fill in right here at the toll plaza. and we saw those sensors across the span. it may be these low clouds drifting around. sometimes visibility influences the speeds we can drive. haven't

had any warnings from chp, but you do see things starting to clear up better. there was an earlier crash reported just past the toll plaza. that might also mean while the backup is bigger there and that could skew the recovery here. we have slowing coming off of san rafael for eastbound 580. that's typical as a crew dispatches about this time from that side of the bay. as we're getting over from the richmond side, we have the build heading down past the area on the east shore freeway, but not a problem on the approach to the bridge itself. still reports of a crash highway 37 around merritt island hasn't been a major problem. no backup toward 29, but we're looking at that as one incident and the build for highway four and 242 pushing down in toward pleasant hill and walnut creek. the interchange moves smoothly. so does the caldecott tunnel. easy drive down 680, which opened right on time. we're actually a little earlier than on time here. castro valley wide shows the build and the bridges san mateo and dunbarton are clear back to you. thank you. mike. well, happening now, paper or plastic will soon no longer be a choice at california grocery stores. this comes after governor gavin

newsom signed a new law banning all plastic shopping bags. california already banned thin plastic bags, but shoppers could still buy bags made of the thicker plastic that can be reused or recycled. well the new laws ban all plastic bags starting january 1st, 2026. supporters say that that ban will help reduce plastic waste. those who don't bring their own bags will now simply have to ask if they want a paperback. well, i've got enough for the entire newsroom in my trunk. a shakeup at the san mateo county sheriff's office. ahead at 6:00. she's. what's happening against a high ranking county official. plus, why she says she fired her assistant chief. and now that fall is here, so is a probable rise in respiratory illnesses. but with so many vaccines out there, which one is right for you? we're moving you forward, breaking down what you need to know to stay healthy this season. and don't forget nbc bay area streams 24/7. you can watch
