did not go off. right now, at six tsunami warning alerts blaring on cell phones across the bay area after a massive earthquake in northern california. but the sirens didn't go off along the coast. the community concerns now over the emergency response. plus, new images of the accused killer of a health care company. the new part of the investigation. the police are now focusing on after that deadly shooting. and a live look outside. oh that's beautiful. the bay looks like glass. it is friday and we are tracking your end of the week forecast. we're also checking in on your morning drive times this is today in the bay. well, if that just wasn't a great way to

start a friday morning, i don't know what is. thanks for joining us. i'm kira clapper in for laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at that forecast this morning. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can e expect. d not a bad start to the morning. not bad at all. it's in the low to mid 40s in some spots. we're at 44 in walnut creek and 45 in palo alto and san francisco. now checking in at 49 degrees. but then when we take a look at our highs, we're back to seeing some of the same temperatures we've had from the past few days in oakland. look for a high of 68 degrees and 68 in livermore, low 70s for the south county and for the north bay. it's going to be in the upper 60s. it may be just a touch cooler in some spots tomorrow, but still mostly sunny and a really nice weekend ahead. but mike, you're saying there is a slow drive now in san jose? yeah. if you're just joining us, this is a tough drive. about four miles of jam, unexpectedly slow, especially for a friday

through san jose. so as you're getting toward tully road, watch out for north 101. you're going to really jam down into the backup all the way up to oakland road. there's a crash involving three vehicles, no major injuries, but one lane is blocked and there are crews on scene. they're trying to clear the area again, unexpectedly slow for this section through san jose, you have an option to get over to 87 and join back up with 101 north by the airport off the guadalupe parkway. everything is fine just traveling north on the 101 area. the rest ofhe east bay, and the approach to the bay bridge. still looking pleasant. back to you. thanks, mike. towns to our north and humboldt county are assessing damage from several big earthquakes, including that 7.0 that hit offshore and triggered a tsunami warning across the bay area yesterday. now, the massive earthquake was centered off the coast. this is near ferndale just before 11:00 and several aftershocks rattled towns. now that aftermath was immediate and redway water sprayed from the ceiling

sprinkler system, the lights and sprinklers look everything in the shop. smart lost power there, forcing that grocery store to close. i got here at 12 and it was just a mess. the floors were just really, really wet. we had about almost an inch of water in here and over at the garberville smoke shop, workers there swept up those items, shattered on the floor and just outside rio del blue slide road, cracked open. look at that lane, now closed with cones. officials say that there was not a lot of apparent structural damage on buildings or homes, and there were no immediate reports of anyone being hurt. marcus. many people who live in half moon bay. a beautiful look for you, right now, but they are questioning why tsunami sirens never went off along their coast following those powerful earthquakes. cell phones across the bay area blared with that tsunami warning alert, but the local sirens never went off. one

woman says after she received that alert on her pho, police came around with a bullhorn, telling people individually to evacuate the san mateo county department of emergency management says it held off on pushing the button that would have triggered sirens along the coast. as every moment evolved, we basically had more information from the national weather service and the national tsunami warning center that basically said that the threat was decreasing significantly over time. i think it would have been helpful to know that the threat was decreasing, like if it would have been a tsunami watch. so beyond feelingng like they were left in the dark, coastal residents also say they were frustrated with the gridlock traffic as they tried to drive inland to higher ground. san mateo county leaders say they have many takeaways from this experience and will be better prepared moving forward. we sent out push alerts just moments after the earthquake hit

and again as that tsunami warning was issued and then canceled. you can be sure to download our free nbc bay area news app and get all those alerts sent right to you. 605 this morning and in a few hours, the man accused in the mass murder of his family will be back before a judge in oakland. today in the bay's bob redell joins us now. and, bob, is there any way to know what we can expect today? not yet. good morning to you, kara. and marcus. shane parrish colleen has already pled not guilty to killing his allegedly two young children, his wife and his father, and mother in law. he's also waived his right to a speedy trial. so this morning's appearance in oakland at the alameda county superior court for a pretrial hearing. it's not going to be clear what any significant issues might arise from that before the judge back in july, killian, who is 54 years d, allegedly shot and killed his family members at

their home on alameda. his children were just one and six years of age. this is a photo we obtained of killian at work as a boilermaker welder on a job at a refinery in martinez. that photo, taken hours before the murders took place. several coworkers at the time say killian came to work that morning, then left midday, saying he wasn't feeling well. one colleague said nothing felt off, but he did note that this was the third time in three months killian had walked off the job. he also said killian was in general, a very sensitive person, that he was easily ticked off when little things went wrong. he did mention some tension between his father in law and him, and so we knew about that. but that it wasn't anything that would have led to the actions that happened. as far as we knew. that was one, again, one of killian's coworkers a few months ago, after one of the previous court hearings, according to sheriff's

records from north carolina, killian was charged with reckless driving and assault with a deadly weapon on a government official back in 2011. if he is convicted in the murders of his family members, he faces more than 100 years in prison. reporting live bob redell today in the bay. all right, bob, thanks for that report. developing. now the nypd has now released new photos of a person of interest in a deadly shooting he's wanted for questiong, for connection with that ambush and killing of the ceo of unitedhealthcare. now, a law enforcement source confirming to nbc news that the images were captured there at a hostel on manhattan's upper west side. an eyewitness saying that that man in the photos shared a room with two others and checked out on wednesday. that's the same day police say that the ceo was gunned down as he was walking toward an investor conference. also, new video obtained by the new york times showing a person resembling that shooter walking not far from the

scene. ten minutes before the shooting. that person appearing to talk on the phone, knowing that the shooter was on the phone talking to somebody else, definitely changes the way the investigation goes. possibly someone knew the shooting was about to happen, or he was maybe calling someone for the last time, or it could be part of a larger plot. shell casings from the shooting are now key focal point in this investigation. a senior new york city law enforcement official briefed on the investigation, telling nbc that the three casings recovered from the scene had three words written on them. they were denied defend and oppose, which is a possible reference to a 2010 book critical of the insurance industry. just about nine past the hour now, we have continuing coverage of the trial of nima momeni. so far, no verdict from the jury in san francisco. day two of deliberations wrapped up yesterday. jurors will not be back today. they will return monday. mo zenni is accused of killing cash app co-founder bob lee in april of 2023. his

defense attorneys argue that mo money stabbed lee in self-defense when lee was high on drugs and attacked him. meanwhile, prosecutors dispute that claiming lee's dna was not on the knife handle, but mo was. several pro-palestinian protesters who shut down the golden gate bridge earlier this year. we'll be back in court today. back in april, they brought traffic to a standstill. while protesters were there protesting the war in gaza. a total of 26 demonstratators face charges. seven of them will appear before a judge on an arraignment hearing. during the hours-long standstill, commuters miss work, school flights and critical surgeries. the demonstrators are being charged with felony conspiracy in connection with the protest. we're going to turn now to a live look at diamond peak, which yesterday became pretty much the final large scale tahoe ski resort to open. today. they are holding their ski season kickoff party. unfortunately, it looks

good out there, but apparently there is no fresh snow on the immediate horizon, so perfect time now to check in with meteorologist kari hall. kari, are you able to see like, long term? maybe theoretically for people who might want to call out sick and head. you can still be on standby this weekend. speaking from personal experience or for a friend. yea. yeah. right. right, right. for a friend. for a friend. yeah, yeah, yeah. well, you'll have a good time getting there and enjoying the snow that they're making because they're at diamond peak. they're all the way up to 8500ft. so really, we don't need a whole lot coming from mother nature. and we don't have any in t the nearerm. it's going to be sunny and good traveling for getting to the sierra and back for the weekend. let's get a live look outside in san francisco as we're getting started this morning. it is another cool one with low 50s and it will make it into the low 60s here today with lots of

sunshine. we're making weekend plans to get outside, but first, mike, we may have to fill up. where can we find lower gas prices? well, let's tell kira's friend who she's asking for. they need to fill up getting her way through livermore toward i-5, maybe, or the sacramento. you can finish the week with livermore in the lead spot, as they have been all week. 319 at the marathon's, there's one on south livermore and there's one on home street. both have that same great price, the best in the bay, one of the best in the state for the best in solano county. we'll head to the club called sam's club at vacaville. got 363 a gallon there. it's on helen power drive, and we'll finish with the south bay's best in sunnyvale. 369 at national petroleum on old san francisco road. wherever you're going in town, or maybe not in town, we're going to go to gasbuddy.com. they'll help you find the best deal on the roadways. pretty good deal, except for the south bay. north 101 continues to be really jammed up traveling through san jose. as you approach tully, you're going to start tapping those brakes and then really hit

those brakes at 280 up to oakland road, one lane blocked. 3rd may 2 or 3 vehicles need to be cleared. and that is the big jam. 87 should see more traffic. it will get you past that slowdown. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. good job on those prices of gas, mike. but i heard kira's friend has an electric car. yeah. all right, just saying. i will be here tomorrow morning, tune in at seven. it's 612 for you right now. reversing its policy coming up here on today in the bay. we're going to tell you the reason one of the country's largest health insurers is backpedaling on its plan to limit anesthesia coverage. and just into our newsroom, the latest jobs report. and it is more good news out to the futures this morning. we've set several records on the stock market this week. and scott, it's time to don your best ugly sweater this weekend sweater fest. you can attend and show off your your threads. you're watching today in the bay.

(♪♪) start this morning as we take a look at our live camera in palo alto. looking at highway 101 now, we're in the mid 40s right now and it stays that way through 8:00. but all of this sunshine is going to make it feel nicer. even though our temperatures stay in the 60s. for today, we'll get a look at what's ahead in our weekend forecast coming up. well, your

shot of highway 101 looks great. look in san jose. it is jammed up for about four miles. we have traffic crawling past the scene of a crash 101 at oakland road in the northbound commute direction. we'll follow any progress there, and we'll talk about the rest of your drive coming up. well, good morning. very happy friday to you. san francisco's wells fargo denying talk. it's thinking about moving its headquarters out of san francisco to texas. anthem blue cross that's run by a company called elevation changing its anesthesia policy. you probably saw this on the internet. anthem said it would stop paying for your anesthesia if your surgery goes wrong. this new policy would have taken effect in three states, not here. that announcement, coming at the worst possible time. anthem blue cross said people misunderstood it, so they're not going to enforce that new policy. big numbers just in from the jobs report, more than 227,000 jobs added to the american economy. that's enormous. bigger than expected. unemployment rate

4.2%. now, some of this could be a hiccup in the last months report. the october jobs report, you may remember, was depressed by two hurricanes and some really big strikes. so last month we saw kind of garbage numbers. this report may be artificially inflated for the same reason. but you know, all in all, good news. other news. a federal judge in texas has rejected boeing's guilty plea stemming from the crashes of its 737 max airplanes. part of the deal involves the appointment of a government monitor to boeing to oversee safety policies. the judge is worried that monitor will be appointed through die. that's diversity, equity and inclusion, which has fallen out of favor in some quarters. walmart and lowe's and other companies have started to drop these programs. the texas judge told boeing and the government to renegotiate the deal. president elect trump has appointed this man, silicon valley's david sacks, as his ai

and crypto czar. sacks, a longtime conservative, was one of the first silicon valley execs to support and raise money for trump. speaking of ai, meta says it needs so much power to run its ai computers. it needs someone to build a nuclear power plant near its server farms. meta. not alone, microsoft, google have warned they'll need far more electricity in the future. how much electricity will? openai is looking for a five gigawatt power supply to run one of its artificial intelligence systems. this is miami. it uses about five gigawatts of power. that is a huge amount of electricity and kira. that's for just one proposed server farm. bloomberg reports openai wants to build a half dozen of them, and don't want to put you on the spot, but where are these going to go? well, next to the server farm somehow. oh my goodness. all right scott, thanks so much. we're g going to rn now to. did you know that this time of year

uber gives rides in a different way for the holiday season? the ride hailing service delivers christmas trees, even a group of carolers to your front door. uber has offered limited christmas tree delivery service off and on since 2015. it's being expanded nationwide this year through uber eats. the carolers will only be available to customers in new york city, los angeles, miami and d.c. starting tomorrow. no bay area. they'll also bring a boozy gift in partnership with drinks maker diageo. well, bart holiday sweaters are becoming so popular there's now an entire festival to celebrate them. so tomorrow in oakland, you can now show off your own bart ugly holiday sweater. that event is called sweater fest, and it's happening from 1 to 4 p.m. over at the rock ridge station. and this is from the pictures you're looking at. these are from last year's event. all those sweaters. okay,

the heat a little bit and then we'll have some very comfortable weather for the 49ers game on sunday. it will be in the upper 60s and we're going to continue on with sunshine. looking ahead into next week, it is still dry all the way up towards the end of next week, and then maybe a more active storm pattern after that. but at least in our 7-day forecast, we continue with dry conditions and above normal temperatures. mike san jose still has the big delay this morning. this is the tough drive friday. we really don't expect this on 101. this stretch from basically two 8680 up to oakland road where there is a crash, two vehicles involved. we still need two tow trucks to arrive on scene. they were called about 25 minutes ago and the jam on 101 starting to build now. before you get to tully road. i haven't seen a major shift, but 87 is a good option to take you past the scene. lighter traffic overall does keep everything else moving smoothly. getting over toward the bay bridge, the metering lights are on and we're finally starting to see that backup. back to you. oh, wow. yeah. big backup there. thanks, mike. we

the communities rattled after a powerful 7.0 earthquake prompts a tsunami warning. but the concerns after the coastal community alert system fails to go off. plus, only on nbc bay area masked thieves target a group of teenagers in the east bay. the reason the victims say they're more upset with the police department and lighting up san francisco. let's glow. s.f. is back tonight. what you can expect to see if you're in the city tonight. this is today in the bay. and a good morning to you on this friday. i'm

marcus washington. and i'm kira klapper in for laura garcia. so much going on tonight, especially in the city. like you just mentioned, meteorologist kari hall has a look at our forecast. looking so pretty in blue. i forgot to call you out from head to toe. literally. oh, thanks. yeah, we are just trying to get in the holiday spirit and also just trying to stay warm, too. we are going to have some cool temperatures looking at just a little bit of fog rolling over san francisco. while it is all clear overhead. we're going to have another beautiful sunrise heading into a mild and dry weekend and slightly cooler early next week, with rain possible next weekend, so it's going to be a while as we get a look at fremont and what to expect. it's in the mid 40s and warming up into the upper 60s today. all of these numbers are above normal and we'll see that into the weekend. mike, do you have better news in san jose? we do. traffic is moving better no. highway one on one. look at that beautiful view. sun's up. thumbs up. look at that. thumbs up for

the clearing north. 101 at oakland road. we should have some pretty good recovery because of a lighter volume of traffic, but still, you are slowing at tully road. clearing by oakland road again. that crash cleared. we do have a truck fire reported, but no injuries. they're working on a tractor trailer westbound 580 just off of 205. that's going to slow folks dow so it's making continued slowing. the continued slower build thrhrough livmore for westbound 580. but we do have the backup at the bay bridge. took a while to form but it's there now. back to you. it sure is. all right, mike, thanks. well, we continue to follow that breaking news we brought to you yesterday morning the earthquakes and the tsunami warning. and in half moon bay, there was relief that there was no tsunami after all. but then a lot of questions came about why the sirens didn't actually sound during the national weather service's tsunami warning today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us from half moon bay this morning. so, kris, do we have any answers from that question? you know, we've been asking this question since the

tsunami warning happened in about an hour after when it was canceled and the sheriff, christina corpus, here in san mateo county, along with the emergency services director, say they there was no problem with the sirens. they just weren't acvated. so that is the word this morning. now, when the national weather service did issue that tsunami warning shortly after the 7.0 earthquake yesterday, people got alerts on their phones to evacuate coastal areas like half moon bay, the county office of emergency services also sent an additional emergency alert to phones and did not trigger the sirens. but in some neighborhoods, they did send police officers. people there tell us they heard police officers on bullhorns, telling them to evacuate. the director of emergency services says not sounding the sirens wasn't a mistake. it was a choice. but some residents say it just didn't feel right. there was a second alert later. so i mean, and still no sirens. so we're like, this is saying right now

everybody goes somewhere but there's no sirens. but there's people, you know, cops running around with bullhorns in neighborhoods as every moment involved. we basically had more information from the national weather service and the national tsunami warning center that basically said that the threat was decreasing significantly over time. but people want as much notice as possible because of this. in this community, if you live here or you come here, you know that the roads to get out are very narrow and very slow. some people actually walked to higher ground because of the gridlock. so the warning expired within about an hour's time, which is a long time when you're talking about a potential emergency. other communities did issue evacuation orders that were timed differently. we saw west berkeley really quickly. fremont, though, we got their evacuation order after the tsunami warning expired. so a lot of communities are going to

be talking about what they did and what they might do better next time. in half moon bay, kris sanchez today in the bay. yeah, almost thankful nothing bad happened. and then they can use that as a learning experience. kris, thanks so much. well, don't you forget we are always tracking any shaking that happens. i want you to bookmark this website nbc bay area.com/quake tracker. that way you're going to see the listings of all the shaking in the bay area. and you can also find out the resources like what you should pack in that go bag. 35 past the hour right now. and the man who went on a deadly shooting rampage at a sunnyvale tech company 36 years ago is expected to have his death sentence reduced to life in prison today. back in 1988, richard farley killed seven former coworkers at esl incorporated shortly after he was fired from the company. investigators determined he was stalking a woman there and was furious. after she served him with a restraining order. santa clara county district attorney

arrest in south san francisco last month for being in a stolen u-haul. he was released from jail about two weeks ago. the sheriff says lin believes conspiracy theories and wrote he was part of a large international organization carrying out a mission. the butte county sheriff's office and fbi are investigating. back here in the bay area now to a story you'll see only on nbc bay area. frightening moments for a group of college students who were robbed in a safeway parking lot. it happened in oakland's rockridge neighborhood yesterday afternoon. the group of girls say that shortly after they were studying, they got into their car. several masked men opened their hatchback and stole their backpacks inside wallets, laptops and notes. they needed to study for finals. the victims, though, say they're more upset because of the slow response from police. i've called 911 twice, and the non-emergency number twice, and they told me that the cops will

call me when they're on their way here. our nbc bay area crew at the scene was in touch with oakland police. the department told us, because no one was hurt. that call wasn't a high priority. so the girls were told they could stay there to wait for an officer or file a report online. after several hours of waiting for police to show up, the girls left. well, san francisco ballet's nutcracker season will kick off as planned. this is despite concerns that opening night will be canceled due to a stall in contract negotiations. the ballet's dancers and stage managers have negotiated with the company for months and threatened to strike. they've been fighting for better wages, limitations on unpaid student labor and protections on overtime. the sf ballet said that it had come to a tentative agreement with the dancers and stage managers. the ballet company's executive director releasing a statement saying in part i am delighted to say that we achieved this tentative agreement with mutual respect and dedication to reaching a

this excitement that we have here on today in the bay with that good morning shoutout. all you have to do is take a video of your cla saying, good morning, bay area. and where you are, and we'll show it right here on today in the bay. and you don't have to have a drone like they seem to know. you can do it with just your phone. all right. you canend that s

friday morning. it is 646. let's

take a live look outside in the east bay. we're checking out walnut creek. it's a clear start and we have lots of sunshine today, so we're going from mid 40s to mid 60s for this afternoon. enjoy another nice and dry day. we'll talk about farther down the line. rain chances coming up in a few minutes. good sunrise. good recovery because of a lighter friday volume of traffic on the roads. 101 is able to get back to what we'd expect as far as the drive through san jose. we'll show you where there are other slowdowns, other backups coming up. all right, mike and kerry. thanks. new financial filings show elon musk spent more than $250 million to help get donald trump elected, and scott mcgrew the most money spent by one donor in american history. that's right. and that was just the money spent on the political action committees for trump. you're not counting the money he contributed down ballot as well. according to the latest reports from the federal elections commission. something to remember as we watch the tesla ceo exercising his new

power in washington. musk has told lawmakers he will fund primary fights to oust them if they don't go along with what trump and most likely by extension, what he wants them to do. musk, joining vivek ramaswamy on the hill yesterday talking about their new department of government efficiency, or doge, not really a government department, at least not yet. musk says doge aims to cut $2 trillion out of the government budget, but $2 trillion is more than the government's entire discretionary spending, meaning he would have to cut into defense or social security or other programs to get that number. everything is up for consideration. say lawmakers. they listen mainly, but basically they say they're going to tackle. nothing is sacrosanct. nothing. they're going to put everything on the table. nothing is sacrosanct. musk and others have pointed to inefficiencies and fraud as a way to cut the budget. few

americans oppose that. politicians have always promised to cut the budget through pursuing fraud and inefficiency. thomas jefferson was concerned by what he called the multiplication of public office, and recommended using a pruning knife, but cutting inefficiencies don't get you to 2 trillion. as for fraud, that's already illegal and already investigated by agencies like the fbi and the irs, which are two agencies republicans would like to make smaller. here's speaker johnson. we have long lamented the size and scope of the government that it has grown too large. and let me be frank about this. government is too big. it does too many things, and it does almost nothing. well. the house subcommittee, looking into what went wrong in butler, pennsylvania, where donald trump was nearly killed during a speech, wrapped up its investigation and testimony this week with quite the scene. a republican lawmaker from texas accused this man, the interim director of the secret service, of showing up to a nine over 11 memorial as a political stunt.

director ronald rose said he was there to mourn a secret service agent killed in the attack. i actually responded to ground zero. i was there, going through the ashes of the world trade center. i was there at fresh kills. i'm not asking you that. i'm asking you, congressman, were you the special agent in charge to show respect for a secret service member who died on nine over 11? y you're trng to be. do not invoke nine over 11 for political purposes. oh. i'm not. i'm invoking this war, sir. gentlemen, you are out of time. gentlemen, to ask him a question, please. you are out of order. don't try to bully me. order! and finally, a few minutes ago, president elect trump once again put his support behind fox news anchor pete hegseth for secretary of defense, posting, quote, pete's a winner, and there's nothing that can be done to change that. jd vance just chimed in a few minutes ago, saying far too long. the pentagon was led by soldiers who lose wars. j.d. vance's words. marcus. all right. thanks, scott. okay, so

the niners, they may be down, but they are certainly not out. in fact, a late season run likely would land them in the playoffs. that means it all starts with sunday's game at levi's against the bears head coach kyle shanahan. this week, suggesting if the niners do make it to the postseason, the injured christian mccaffrey may be able to return. but first things first, and don't forget fans. nbc sports bay area will have pregame coverage for you starting at noon and 49ers. postgame live will air immediately after the game on nbc. bay area sports plus. okay. for anyone who is a singer, you think you can sing? never thought that you would hear these words, but training for you this morning. the queen of country needs your help. yes. your help. country icon dolly parton is announcing an open casting call for dolly, an original musical. whether you're chasing your dreams from a small town or you've spent years performing on stages across the

country, i want to give you the chance to help me bring my story to broadway and maybe even play me. all i'm saying is dolly is looking for people of all ages to portray her at different stages of her life. those who are interested can submit a one minute performance of one of parton's songs and apply at dolly musical.com. de león original musical is set to debut in 2026. all right. 651 for you right now, there's more shaking in northern california. a 4.2 quake hitting this morning. that same area of the shaking with that 7.0 yesterday. no reports of any injuries or damages, but there will be aftershocks for days to come. and, kari, i remember you saying yesterday we could see them days, even months later. yeah, it's going to happen for quite a while. in fact, since yesterday, since that original earthquake happenedffshore, there have been about 195 aftershocks. so, yes, we're going to seeee them. some of them may be a little bit

stronger than others, but it's going to be very active because the ground just moved. it's going to continue moving. it's not just going to suddenly settle. so looking at the weather systems that are out there as well, all being blocked by high pressure. so we're still going to enjoy the sunshine and the storm track going farther to the north. no rain headed our way for the weekend, but take a look at the fog rolling right over san francisco right now. we will continue with dry weather for the weekend and just a little bit cooler early next week, but we will be watching farther into next week for the possibility of some rain. right now we're in the upper 30s and low 40s as you're heading out, and we'll see highs in the upper 60s once again with this weather repeating throughout the weekend, a few low 70s in the south county going out to the game tonight. it's going to be in the mid 50s for the warriors game at the chase center. a nice cool evening and throughout the weekend the cool weather continues mainly in the evenings. whether you're going to a basketball game, a football game or enjoying the lights or

getting an early start on that shopping. mike, you were checking in on the friday commute. yeah, and fridays we typically see a lighter volume of traffic. but look, we haven't even filled in to the end of the parking lot. from now through the end of the year, we've only got less than three weeks. and so we should see continuing lighter traffic for fridays and for mondays, compressing to tuesday through thursday for the bigger commutes for the morning. right now we see a typical pattern, but again, a lighter friday. so we had some slowing in walnut creek. it's teetering right on the on the speed limit there. the south bay is starting to build northbound routes. back to you. all right mike, thanks. 53 past the hour. happening now. if anyone was worried about the a's somehow missing their target date for a new vegas ballpark, not to worry. the stadium authority leaders yesterday finalized their preliminary work in a special meeting. they approved all the remaining outstanding issues, including lease and development agreement. they did not announce a groundbreaking date, but that's still on track to happen before june of next year. the a's plan to start playing in vegas in 2028, and we'll be back with a

smoke shop in garberville. now authorities do say that it appears to be little structural damage to buildings and homes. so far, there are no reports of injuries. before we go, kari has one last look at the forecast. yeah, we have a lot of sunshine for the weekend. it's going to be a nice one. just warming up during the afternoon and cooling down quickly at night. we'll see our overnight lows in the low 40s for the inland areas and in the south bay. the northbound routes for this friday commute have finally kicked in, but an added problem. we do have a crash in mountain view in the middleanes for north 101. all right, mike and kari, thanks so much. and that's what's happening here on today in the bay. today's show coming up next. we hope you have a great weekend. and we'd love to see you right back here on monday. good friday morning. th
