the life of a young boy who had no known gang ties and was simply trying to enjoy an evening out. right now, at six, one of the five suspects involved in the deadly stabbing of a 15 year old boy at santana row is set to face a judge for the first time. the charges he is facing as officials question if it's time for the state to impose stricter sentences on underage criminals. federal workers in limbo as elon musk

doubles down on his demand for government employees to list their accomplishments or resign. the midnight deadline has come and gone. we're live in washington with what's next. plus a push to get the homeless off the streets in the south bay. the new controversial program being announced today aimed at reuniting the unhoused with their loved ones. this is today in the bay. and good morning to you on this tuesday. i'm marcus washington, and i'm laura garcia. we'll check that morning commute with mike in just a little bit. we've been talking about a little fog which could affect the morning commute as well. yeah, the fog has been pretty bad in some spots. a lot worse than yesterday. and we've seen in some spots visibility down to basically nothing. so you do need to really slow it down in those areas and be very careful. and we've seen about a quarter mile visibility widespread across the north bay from napa to santa rosa, as well as in the tri-valley. we're down to about a 10th of a mile in oakland. and so we're going to

see this fog drifting around. we can barely see anything. as we take a look at our san francisco camera, with some drizzle there on the camera lens, and the fog lingers until at least 7:00. and then eventually it will be clearing out. and lots of sunshine in the forecast today. it's going to be a really pleasant afternoon here, looking at a high of 6466 in oakland and 68 in san jose, and even warmer temperatures for tomorrow. so we'll talk about that. but yeah, mike, it's the fog right now. yeah. it's also the metering lights at the bay bridge. but definitely you can see the fog and you need to adjust your speeds to give yourself some more reaction time, because that fog is impeding the view of the roadway in many parts of the bay. chp early on warned about fog across most of our bridges. you see on this shot right here, especially the benicia and the carquinez bridges, we see slowing right now. typical spots, but really slow for highway four that's visible with these sensors and earlier disabled vehicle. and then a crash at willow pass road caused early slowing, along with what's likely fog along the water's

edge on the south side of the delta there. so keep that in mind for that portion of contra costa county. we're seeing that play out on the travel times as well. i know it's tuesday, so we have a heavier volume of traffic, but we hit a half hour mark early for vasco road coming through the fog. contra costa and into alameda county. you see it concentrated over there. use caution back to you. all right. you. mike. it is 602 right now. later today, one of the five teenagers accused in the valentine's day stabbing death of a 15 year old boy at santana row will appear before a judge. however, he's not the one accused of wielding the knife. today in the bay's kris sanchez joins us from our newsroom this morning. kris, this is a really heartbreaking story that we're talking about. t the aused killer is just 13 years old. they're all they're all teenagers, even the victim himself. and because the suspected killer is just 13 years old and because he is in the juvenile justice system, he may not face the kind of justice that people might expect. the 18 year old facing the judge today is an adult and will face very adult charges. emanuel sanchez

damien is expected to be in court today. he is among the five suspected gang members accused of confronting that 15 year-old victim, david gutierrez, as he was out on a date with his girlfriend at santana row on the evening of valentine's day. that's him there on the screen. the other three suspects are 16 years old, but because the suspect accused of stabbing gutierrez is just 13, he is likely to remain in the juvenile justice system and is likely to do eight months or less in an unlocked ranch facility, the san jose police chief said. gangs know this. adults and gangs are exploiting the leniency of our juvenile justice system, recruiting underage members to commit horrific acts of violence on their behalf. why? because they know that a 17 year old, 15 year old, or yes, even a 13 year old is unlikely to face consequences anywhere near as severe as an adult would for the very same crime. our legal analyst

explained to us that state law changed in 2019, making it more difficult to move juveniles into adult court, aiming for rehabilitation instead. now, this is especially true for offenders under the age of 14. over the age of 14, they could be held in custody up to the age of 25, but this case is so egregious. san jose mayor matt mahan is calling on state lawmakers to take another look at that juvenile justice reform. we will be in court when that lone adult, the 18 year old, faces a judge in this case today. as for motive, police say the victim was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. marcus. all right. chris. thank you. well, there is more confusion this morning for millions of federal workers. a deadline passed to respond to an email they got over the weekend asking those workers to explain what they accomplished last week. well, here is a live look at the white house this morning. the federal government later stating responding to the email is optional. but now elon musk says once again, employees who don't

comply will be fired. today in the bay's alice barr live for us in washington this morning. and alice, a lot of push and pull here. marcus. that's exactly right. and nbc news has reached out to the white house to try to get a clear answer of whether this latest message from elon musk is the final word or where this stands. and we don't have that solid word just yet. we are learning of another 1400 layoffs deemed non-mission critical at the department of veterans affairs, as workers across the federal government are wrestling with this question about how to respond to that proof of performance, email a new twist this morning after the midnight deadline passed on that controversial email asking government workers to explain what they did on the job last week. department of government officials head elon musk posting overnight, quote, failure to respond a second time will result in termination. that after the trump administration told the heads of federal

agencies that responding was voluntary and several departments dealing with classified information, including state justice and defense, told employees to wait or not reply. even as president trump defended the demand. what he's doing is saying, are you actually working? a california lawsuit by a coalition of labor unions aims to block any firings connected to the email. mark smith represents veterans affairs nurses. when i go to my own health care provider, i want that provider to be laser focused on my care. i don't want that provider to have to be worrying about, you know, emails that they're getting from some unelected billionaire. while at a town hall in missouri, a large crowd confronted one republican representative. we are being discounted by those in washington claiming that we're the swamp and we're the fraud, waste and abuse. no lawmakers divided. asking people to justify their work, i think, is a reasonable step. there is a way to do this that is proper,

that is lawful, and also treats our federal employees with a little bit of dignity. three sources tell nbc news responses to the email would be fed into an advanced ai system to determine whether an employee's work is mission critical, leaving federal workers at a critical crossroads. and we're hearing from house republicans that a group of them is set to meet with president trump today, and some are planning to press for more information and for more compassion toward federal workers. after getting an earful from constituents at town halls across the country. marcus, a lot of those workers say there's just so much uncertainty here right now. so all right, alice barton, washington for us. alice. thank you. now also this morning for you, south bay us congressman ro khanna holding a virtual news conference with more than a dozen federal workers. now the group, he says, fired this month by the trump administration in several different federal agencies. six

of those participants voted for trump. congressman khanna is calling for their jobs to be reinstated. now, we do plan to attend that town hall, and we're going to bring you those updates during our 11 a.m. newscast. developing now, we continue to track the health of pope francis. this is a live look at a hospital in rome this morning where the pontiff is receiving continued care. the vatican says he rested well throughout the evening, with his condition slightly improving, but he does still remain in critical condition. the pontiff is continuing to battle double sided pneumonia. the holy see says the 88 year old woke up to continue his daily treatment and is eating normally. they say a mild kidney insufficiency spotted over the weekend is no longer a cause for concern. the pope did meet with vatican leaders at the hospital this morning to discuss candidates for sainthood. happening today, san jose takes a controversial new step in trying to solve its homeless crisis. mayor matt

mahan is expected to unveil his homeward bound pilot program. it seeks to house people by reconnecting them with their friends, family and loved ones. critics, instead will argue more often it covers the cost to transport them away from the city to their original hometowns. opponents will also point out that san francisco has tried and failed with a similar program, the calling, instead for more supportive housing. it is 609 right now. taking a live look across the bay area on this tuesday morning, kari is keeping tabs of our forecast. i thought yesterday was lovely. you're saying today will be even warmer? i think so. it's going to be ner, more sunshine than what we saw yesterday afternoon. and so we're starting out a little bit cooler in some spots, the fog settling in temperatures in the mid 40s for much of the east bay, as well as the north bay as you're stepping out the door. 49 in san francisco and in san jose. it's not as foggy downtown as it was yesterday at this time, but there's still some fog around the south bay

that will be with us until about 8 to 9:00. the rest of the day all clear and temperatures warming up into the mid to upper 60s. very much matching yesterday's high temperatures, but will be warmer tomorrow. so we'll talk more about that and what's ahead. coming up. mike has a look at where you can save a little bit of money at the gas pump. yeah. less costly. let's look at the south bay, for example. san jose has the best prices overall. we're going to check another spot in santa clara county. santa clara, the city itself where the best is 429 homestead car and gas car. car wash and gas on homestead road. then the next price is in alameda county, san leandro. that's a superior price there for 25 at superior gas on washington avenue and in the north bay. san solano county's best is vacaville. that's 4.34 at speedway express on south orchard avenue. i know you're not going to love the prices, but find the one that you are best suited or settled with over at gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, we have some slowing because of that fog. folks are driving slower through many parts over here, highlighted in

yellow. we see a lot through contra costa county. highway four at the top of the screen had an earlier crash that has cleared to the shoulder. very slow. pittsburgh all the way in through concord. but then 680 into walnut creek moves well. there is an issue for visibility all throughout the areas we talked about. and also the north bay, even though it's not registering yellow on the map, we just saw, you see that there are low clouds and fog that may demand you slow to allow for more reaction time. back to you. thanks, mike. it is 611 right now. closing for good. coming up next, the reason jo-ann fabrics and crafts. zipping up business for the last time. now to look at the big board. the markets set to open in about 15 minutes or so. 630 this morning. futures are kind of flat although the dow jones industrial up at the moment. we'll be back with a look at your business headlines. plus, more than a month after eaton fire forced her to evacuate, one southern california resident reunited with her cat. they thought they lost forever. i'm going to tell

(wife) yeah. (burke) shall we? ♪ right now at 615, the dense fog in much of the north bay, as we're taking a live look outside in san rafael. allow some extra time to get to work this morning

and just use the regular beams, the low beams as well. we're going to see temperatures going from mid 40s to mid 60 today and lots of sunshine. temperatures warm up tomorrow. we'll get a look at that coming up in a few minutes. same advisory over here for the bay bridge. low clouds and fog dominate the east bay maps. we are looking at a smooth expected drive for your tuesday out of the bay bridge. we're looking at some additional slowing for parts of contra costa and alameda counties. all point that out coming up. good morning. wall street is set for a flat open after the market struggled again yesterday, with the s&p 500 falling for a third straight session. the nasdaq wiping out its gains for the year as both were dragged down by tech stocks such as palantir, microsoft and nvidia. the dow closing marginally higher. now in focus today we get data on home prices and consumer confidence. plus earnings from home depot. elon musk's spacex is looking to deploy starlink

morning, right after us here on today in the bay. well, turning for you this morning, a moving moment. this is the aftermath of those devastating southern california fires. it's a reunion more than one month in the making. an altadena fire victim is together again with her beloved cat, birdie, who says snuck out as the flames were quickly approaching. weeks later, her neighbor forwarded a post about someone looking for the owner of a missing reunitedt weekend, leaving her neighbor absolutely elated. and then this random stray e-mail shows up that says, we found this cat and it looked like her. so i sent her a picture and she got so excited and it's her cat and says, yes, it even s a nick in its ear. oh, connected the two with two trappers who are making it their mission to find and reunite cats that went missing during the fire. and so far, they've succeeded in five reunions. wow. those cats are so resilient. yeah, i know those

fires. wow. i'm glad it was, a firefighter said. so it's great that first responders are able to get some of the recovery for themselves as well. while they were helping everybody else, people forget they had homes down there too. yeah, i know exactly. all right. time to check the forecast for today. it looks great. we're starting out with some fog, though, but it's going to be really nice over the next several days and enjoying more sunshine. but check out the fog that we're seeing looking from oracle park and low visibility there. not too far in front of this camera. you can't really see a good distance away. so we are seeing visibility dropping down to about a quarter of a mile pretty wide, spread from the coast down to half moon bay. and novato is now seeing visibility at zero. in oakland, it's only a 10th of a mile. this fog is a lot worse and more widespread than we saw yesterday. so this dense fog advisory will be in effect for a little while longer. once the fog clears out, people may head to the coast, but heads up that there will be some very dangerous waves over the next couple of days. we're currently seeing the waves in bodega bay

at 20ft, and it's at nine feet for santa cruz, anywhere up and down the coast. we may see some of those breakers topping 15 to 18ft and a high risk of some rip currents as well. so be very careful and never turn your back to the water. if you're enjoying some time out there near the coastline in pacifica. the fog continues up until about 8:00, and then we are looking at it clearing out much quicker than we've seen recently, with some mostly sunny skies into late morning into the afternoon. temperatures in half moon bay reaching 64 degrees. also 64 in san francisco and upper 60s for the south bay into the inland east bay. tomorrow it's even warmer, and the warmest temperatures we'll see will be in san jose, 77 degrees 77 as well in gilroy, and 73 pretty much throughout the tri-valley and the east bay. and we continue with the warm weather through thursday. but then changes come in with some cold fronts arriving. not a lot of

rain in the forecast, but the rain chances increase later in the weekend and we continue with much colder temperatures as well as some rain next week. so we're going back to winter after getting a taste of spring and then looking at the sierra snowpack where we are currently running a little bit below normal across the sierra, and we are going to see some additional snow coming in for next week once these colder storms arrive. but it doesn't look like a a lot at this time. about 1 to 5in. and for the bay area, we see rain chances increasing saturday night into sunday. we're back to sunshine monday, but we may see some more rain after that. and for san francisco could be some rain at times, some mist and drizzle and temperatures in the low 60s. mike, how's it looking in cocoa county? it's looking great as far as the traffic flow goes, pretty much what you would expect. a little additional slowing. we'll point that out, but i think it's because of that fog you see in the background here. so the build from richmond over towards san rafael, where you'll find fog over on that

side of the bay as well. we're looking over here toward the north bay. additional slowing through through this portion of contra costa county. one was because of an early crash right here. highway four coming io concord, slowing out of pittsburgh and bay point along the water. and we're also watching vasco road, where there's likely a low visibility. we're almost at 40 minutes now. back to you. thanks so much, mike. well, making changes to its graduation requirements. next here on today in the bay, the university now modifying its course curriculum to better incorporate our climate in crisis. and as we head to break a reminder, our sister station, telemundo 48, hosting an immigration help and advice line tonight. it will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. you can call the numbers on your screen. immigration experts will be available to answer your questions. we'll be right back.

[dog barks] [dog barks]

time is 625. you're watching today in the bay and turning to our climate in crisis. the next generation is fully invested in protecting our planet. and san francisco state has revised a graduation requirement that will now cover climate justice. this is the first time a major university requires students to take a course explicitly on climate justice, not just climate change. climate justice focuses on the unequal impacts of climate change on underserved communities and places that sometimes are the least responsible for the issues. the co-director of san francisco state's climate hq says students

and professors from all kinds of majors have been asking for this type of material. for example, we have a new course on climate change and refugees, climate refugees, which is just really meeting students in the understanding that they are seeing around them, around climate change and the impacts that it has. the university says this will not change any student's current path towards graduation, but will instead improve the existing coursework. the revision will officially start this fall, where students will be able to choose one class. out of about 100 and more courses will be certified over time. to learn more about these changes at sf state and other climate topics and solutions, visit our website nbcbayarea.com and click on the climate crisis tab. all right. thanks, gary. 627 right now we've got a lot more ahead at 630, including elon musk not letting up, giving federal workers another chance to justify their jobs. the

more dense and widespread as we're getting started. and more people are getting up and heading out the door. visibility down to about a quarter of a mile for many of us, and it could be a less than that in some spots. as you're driving to work this morning. take a look at some of the cameras that we're seeing from palo alto to walnut creek, san francisco, also foggy, and we've seen some fog also moving around the south bay. once it clears out, which should happen around 8 to 9:00. the rest of the day is sunny, and we will be warming up into the mid to upper 60. we'll talk about a warm up in our forecast, but mike, you were saying you just need to slow down this morning. yeah. because visibility as you said is changing. this is our rooftop camera. you can actually see some of the rooftop here. we're looking down straight down to the east shore freeway. you can kind of make out those headlights coming toward us eastbound 80. let's look at the map, though. despite that fog in the area and throughout the east bay and north bay, we are seeing a pretty smooth and steady drive. highway 4 got an early start for the slowdown and may have fog up there even though it

doesn't show on the road weather index, and we're watching for that impact on highway four out of pittsburgh and bay point through the tri-valley, you see re volume of traffic now slowing toward the dublin interchange and then south 680, as well as 880 coming off of that same latitude, the south bay showing a smooth drive at the peninsula, even though there's no fog registering there. kari showed you earlier. there's our camera. there are low clouds just above 101. back to you. thanks, mike. a suspected drug dealer tied to two deadly overdoses believed to be facing a judge for the first time today. this as the community mourns the tragic loss of multiple drug related deaths over the weekend. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live for us this morning outside the courthouse in santa rosa. and this is where that suspect is scheduled to face those charges today. multiple charges. ginger. that's right. marcus. that is what we understand. 21 year old ramon nunez was arrested over the weekend for dealing narcotics. believed to be responsible for the deaths of at least two students here in santa

rosa. nunez is facing multiple charges. he's facing second degree homicide charges, as well as furnishing narcotics to a minor and furnishing narcotics to a minor four or more years younger. the press democrat is reporting that nunez will appear in court at 830 here this morning. now, this comes as a community continues to mourn. one of the victims, gia walsh, attended santa rosa high school. her mother, veronica campos, bears the pain of her tragic loss. she was fair and just, and she was lovely. she was a darling. and i will never have more love for anyone in the whole world. ever. ever. walsh's boyfriend, 18 year old logan camp, who also died, went to montmery high. they are two of four teenagers who are believed to have overdosed on fentanyl over the weekend. investigators believe the teenagers thought they were taking cocaine, but it

was instead fentanyl. nunez is expected drug dealing is being investigated in both deaths, along with two other teens who overdosed in on fentanyl as well. early saturday morning, a 14 year old girl and a 16 year old girl remain hospitalized. investigators say the drugs were packaged in baggies with peace signs and spades. now we will you we will bring you updates from here in the courthouse. you can find that on air and online at nbc. bay area.com. we're live in santa rosa, ginger conejero saab. today in the bay. thank you ginger. thank you ginger. it is 634 right now. this morning we're moving you forward with gut wrenching decisions facing school districts here in the bay area as they try to close some large holes in their budgets. today in the bay's bob redell joins us live this morning. and bob, today we could learn how many teachers in san francisco could receive those pink slips. you are correct. we are talking

about hundreds of potential layoffs in the city of san francisco and that school district. good morning to laura. tonight, the san francisco board of education will vote to finalize and authorize the preliminary layoffs for 559 employees, which there's about 9000 people who work in that district that represent about 6000, excuse me, 6% of the workforce. so quite a substantial number there of those being considered for layoffs, 395 are teachers. the remainder are office workers, custodians and bus drivers. the board will also consider a preliminary layoff notices in the coming months for another 129 employees who work in the central office. the school district says it needs to make thes cuts to make up for a $113 million deficit for next year. tonight, the board is only deciding t number of employees, not who those employees would be. that will come after the vote, with the first round of pink slips being sent out march 15th. the union that represents the teachers is

pleased to see that the administration, and not just teachers, will share in the sacrifice. well, i think what's important about this budget is that for the first time, we're seeing a significant central office positions, permanent ones, about 290. so i think it is important that that's being placed there, because we can't just keep cutting from school sites when we have a overbloated central office. and that's been made aware through many reports. so i think it's a step in the right direction, reducing central office to that degree. but as i said, the instability is not something we want. tonight in the south bay, the franklin-mckinley school district board will meet again to discuss and deliberate on whether or not to close at least five schools because of falling enrollment. up to 50 teachers could also lose their jobs. the district says enrollment has plummeted the past 14 years, which has led to a budget deficit there of almost $23

million. reaction has been sharp, especially for parents and jason dahl elementary, named after the heroic united pilot who died on nine over 11. when we were out there, parents were telling us they were worried about their kids who already had to go through covid and now may have to switch schools. just last week in the north bay, the santa rosa city schools board voted to close three elementary plus three middle schools to make up its multimillion dollar deficit. the press democrat reports that later today, the principal of slater middle school, one of the schools slated for closure, will hold a virtual town meeting to answer questions for parents of those students. reporting live bob redell. today in the bay. thank you bob. 637 for you this morning and developing right now. the midnight deadline has come and gone for more than 2 million federal workers. and this morning, there is still confusion surrounding that ultimatum recently sent out by elon musk. now, workers were ordered to respond to an email by 11:59 p.m. eastern standard

time last night. they were told to list their accomplishments for the week or risk losing their job. as the deadline approached, the white house started calling the response voluntary. some of the agencies actually told workers not to reply. that includes one bay area woman who says her department told workers any review would be done internally. and she says the past month has really been stressful and chaotic. a lot of psychological warfare feels like a lot of scare tactics, and it's easy to fall for them when you're showing up every day knowing like, this may be it, i may not be here anymore. unions already suing to block firing tied to the email, and legal experts questioned whether doge would even have the authority to fire workers. meanwhile, the recent firing of probationary employees has left projects in limbo without the completed data. apple shareholders will be faced with a decision whether to scrap their diversity programs today. a proposal drafted by the national center for public

policy research urges apple to follow other companies retreating from dei initiatives. the same group presented a similar proposal to costco last month that was rejected. a similar outcome is expected today during apple's meeting. the company has said it's dei program is an integral part of its culture. it is 639 for you right now as we take a live look out. no, that is not a blanket to lie on that. those are clouds or fog, i should say, over the golden gate bridge this morning. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect. we're seeing this. maybe not at that level, but we are seeing that fog across the bay area this morning, making it really tough to drive around and try to get to work or school this morning. with the low visibility that we're seeing. this is looking from oracle park across the bay, and you can see the palm trees in the foreground, but not much beyond that in san rafael. it's also been really bad with near zero visibility as you're driving on 101. and we are seeing that widespread across the east bay, the peninsula, as well as the north bay, where we have a dense fog

advisory in effect for the next couple of hours for morgan hill. not so bad as of right now. it's 50 degrees and we'll see the sun breaking out and making for a really pleasant day, and temperatures warming up into the upper 60s for this afternoon, reaching a high of 68 degrees. so we'll talk about 70 in our forecast coming up. but mike, it is just foggy getting into san francisco. here we go. we can't even see the south tower. the closest to our camera. this is the san francisco side of the golden gate bridge folks coming over from the north bay. and so we do have that fog registering all the way from north bay, petaluma, down in towards sausalito, across the span into the city. we see pretty typical slower patterns for tuesday. in fact, it's not so bad. you will need to lower those speeds for visibility, though. you can even see on our maps how it goes in through the buildings throughout the city. of course, this map is to show you that later on this evening. 7:00 pm warriors do play in the fog. will be clear by then, but this will not be the travel to and from 280 getting into and out of the

city. so keep that in mind at chase center. meanwhile, the east bay still shows many pockets of fog, the denser fog where this yellow highlighting goes. we're still looking at a slower drive off the dublin interchange building through pleasanton for south six 8880, slow from 2.38 down past the san mateo bridge building to the foggy peninsula. and we're looking south toward 880nd toward fremont. south of those bridges, things are looking looking pretty good as far as visibility goes. back to you. thank you. mike. well, chaos in the cabin of one delta plane next year. one expert explains what he believes created this strange haze, scaring passengers and forcing the pilots to make an emergency landing. and let's take a look at the big board for you this morning where markets are looking up. the dow is up right now. the s&p 500 actually little changed today as it tries to snap that three day losing streak and planning an escape from alcatraz. one couple's teamwork to help meet their goal. maybe it'll even motivate you to possibly challenge your partner. you're watching today in the bay.

so we are getting new details about an officer involved shooting in east oakland. this happened just after four yesterday afternoon near 92nd avenue and g street. that's near highway 880 and oakland arena. now, police got a call that a man was pointing a gun at people in that area. but when officers arrived, he turned the gun on those police officers. officers say shots were fired and the

suspect ran. police found him again and more shots were fired. the man was hit and is being treated with minor injuries. the officer involved in the shooting is on administrative leave right now pending an investigation. it is 6:45 right now. a scare for delta fliers on board a jet which had just taken off from atlanta. their boeing plane was forced to turn around yesterday after. take a look at that. the cabin filled with haze or smoke of some kind. the faa is not yet saying for certain what it was, but when the plane landed back in atlanta, all passengers safely evacuated on emergency slides. one aviation expert believes he knows what may have happened. this is likely an air conditioning or pressurization ise, and that would not have these people in danger at all. this marks the second similar incident for delta in a matter of days. on saturday on australia bound plane returned to lax before safely landing. the faa is investigating both

incidents. alameda county's recently recalled district attorney is stepping into a whole new arena this morning. check out pamela price unfiltered. i'm pamela price, your host, and that's where we get to correct the record. as of today, listeners can check out pamela price's brand new podcast. and according to her instagram page, in the first episode, she plans to speak with a top hayward schools administrator. the new release news release there, indicating that the format will include legally addressing each of the show's topics and examining so-called misinformation. price also promises no topic is off limits. new episodes will drop each tuesday. new at 6:00. sad news surrounding a san francisco man who went viral for bringing his neighbors together during the height of the pandemic. the chronicle reports curtis kimball died last week from an aortic aneurysm. kimball was just 46 years old in february of 2022. today in the bay profiled him in the pancake parties he hosted outside his home near bernal

heights. dozens of neighbors would show up for food and to find some sense of community. what a nice legacy that he leaves. absolutely. well, new this morning, the big escape from alcatraz, just three months away. and the triathletes who are participating. they are training away. yeah. so two of them, a married couple who are training together for that race, which is a one and a half mile swim, 18 mile bike ride and eight mile run as well. i'm already tired just talking about it. so if you are thinking my partner and i could never. well, disney williams brynn was actually training together and it actually has been good for their wedding bliss. they say i think training as a couple, just understanding that you're you're doing something hard together. and so there's going to be challenges. there's going to be days where you're both tired and, you know, housework still has to get done, but then you're a team. okay, so disney and her husband tyler, they live in

alaska now, but they're actually looking forward to getting back to their bay area roots to test themselves. so they went or she did. she went to stanford. he actually went to uc santa cruz and danville high. growing up in the east bay, i remember making school trips out to alcatraz and hearing kind of the infamy of the escape attempts that either were or weren't successful. and as a kid, you always kind of question like, would i be able to do that? and the idea of putting that to the test is, is pretty exciting. okay. so if you're like, i want to do this, i want to do this. the escape from alcatraz triathlon is may 31st through june 1st. most of the 2000 entry spots are already taken, though there are some relay spots open. so, you know, pass the baton or, you know, pass the. i can't breathe right now. you want to do something like that is i found that moving the furniture in a room as a married couple sometimes is a hard task, and does test your relationship as well if you're not married. well, i think it

still tests the relationship. have me over, you'll see. i just say move. you know? do what you gotta do to be healthy together. yeah, you know what i mean? kind of encouraged. yeah, it really is. it's good you push each other. yeah. there you go. all right. we've got some training to do today. since we're doing that relay thing. oh, yeah. all right. so we're going to start out with some fog. we need more time to train. i think. right. more than three months okay. so yeah it's foggy right now as we're getting started. and in some spots visibility down to zero. we're down to about a 10th of a mile in oakland and a quarter mile pretty widespread across the north bay down the coast, as well as into the inland east bay. so looking at our view in palo alto right now, every now and then you can see a headlight there that's 101. so allow some extra time to get to work. it's been pretty bad in some spots. and the temperature at 48 degrees. we're going to see the low clouds and fog linger through 8:00. and then

after that it should be clearing up fairly quickly. and throughout the rest of the day, sunshine and warmer temperatures. but as temperatures warm up, people may want to enjoy some time near the coast and near the beach. a heads up that there is a beach hazard statement in effect. and although we are seeing waves right now at about 9 to 10ft, it's at 20ft for bodega bay. and we do expect some building waves throughout the day in pacifica. it's also going to clear out quickly. good conditions for very experienced surfers, but for everybody else, stay well away from the water. we're going to see temperatures in the upper 60 and even warmer tomorrow. we're headed for the 70 and this will be the warmest day of the week. although thursday is looking pretty nice as well, it will feel springlike through the end of the week, but then the cold front start arriving. not bringing initially a lot of rain, but rain chances increase toward the end of the weekend into next week, and we're going back to winter next week at least temperature wise, and also seeing more rain chances. so we're going from highs in the

mid 70s tomorrow to low 60s by sunday. and we'll see that continue into much of next week. san francisco will have mid to upper 60s for the next few days with sunshine and then low 60s with a chance of showers for the weekend. mike, you're saying it's suddenly slower in san jose? yeah. look, all these folks have slowed down. i was looking for the cause. i believe the chp just entered a crash north of here. this this camera showing you 101 north of 280 and 680 overcrossing there. the crash reported at oakland road involving a motorcycle. we're always concerned about injuries, but especially when a motorcycle reported it involved north 101 at oakland. that's why the sudden big slowing now pushing some folks onto 280. this causes a ripple through the south bay, but so far the fog is not so much a factor down here. back to you. thanks so much, mike. it is 652. happening now. the hunt continues in hillsborough for the gunman who ambushed a police officer. it happened saturday in the city's police departmens

parking lot. now, the officer is now out of the hospital aer investigators say he was shot, but his bulletproof vest protected him. the gunman ran from the scene, triggering an hours long shelter in place. police are still trying to determine the exact motive for the shooting, but they say they believe the gunman was likely targeting the department and not the specific officer. and we're back in just minutes with a look at our top stories this morning, including one of the suspects involved in that deadly stabbing of a 15 year old boy at santana row due in court. the charges he's facing today. plus, san francisco schools could make hundreds of layoffs. the crucial decision being made today. but first, here's craig. coming up here on today, the interviewer becomes the interviewee.e can't wait to share savannah's sweet conversation with her daughter vale and her son charlie on family, faith and love as we celebrate the release of her touching new children's book. that

month that was rejected. a similar outcome is expected today during apple's meeting. another check of the forecast. a foggy start, but a nice finish later. yeah, we are going to see sunshine and nice mild temperatures. the visibility this morning is a major issue, so allow some extra time to get to work tomorrow. it's even warmer headed for the mid 70s and this weekend clouds, cooler temperatures as well as some scattered showers. so we'll keep you up to date on all of the changes. and look at this. unfortunately, it's really jammed up north 101 in san jose from basically 280 at the top of the screen, all the way up past oakland road and starting to build up, approaching the area from tully and building as well. north. 101 we do still have a crash involving a motorcycle. i'm tracking to see about injuries, but so far none reported. that's good, but the slow drive is a problem. it's pushing folks on to 280 northbound through san jose. that will be a ripple effect for the south bay. and the fog has been an issue as far as the volume as well. look at highway four and vasco road. very slow coming through contra costa county. all right. well, the
