and we can see the rain that has returned to the coastal north bay. and that chance of showers that will continue over the next couple of hours. this is all a part of a very weak and quick moving storm system. that will bring us a chance of rain today. otherwise, partly cloudy and we'll see those temperatures starting out in the upper 40s and low 50s and headed for the upper 50s this afternoon. so we'll talk about the cool weather continuing and more rain chances coming up in a few minutes. all right. thank you. kari. tonight, president trump plans to lay out his legislative priorities and outline his vision for the future. we have a live look at capitol hill, where the president will address a joint session of congress. i it comes as overnight, new u.s. tariffs on imported goods took effect. the u.s. also cut off military aid for ukraine. today in the bay alice barr is in washington. live for us this morning. and, alice, amid all of this protest over government workers being fired is really growing across the country. good morning, marcus and laura. yeah.

full slate that president trump will be addressing during his speech to congress tonight. and beginning with tariffs. these are what president trump says are aimed at stopping the flow of fentanyl and of migrants into the u.s. they took effect just after midnight. and now america's top trading partners are responding. with u.s. consumers expected to feel an impact from the back and forth this morning, trade tensions ramping up with china announcing retaliatory tariffs on some u.s. food imports. canada vowing similar steps in response to new u.s. tariffs that took effect overnight, including a blanket 25% tariff on all imported goods from canada and mexico and an additional 10% on chinese imports. what they have to do is build their car plants, frankly, and other things in the united states, in which case they have no tariffs. american companies now bracing to eat added costs or pass them along to consumers. this michigan auto parts

producer imports 30% of its materials from canada. it means dramatically increased costs, so we might not be able to recover. at the same time, president trump pausing military aid to ukraine, according to two u.s. officials after a public clash. the president asked what it would take to restart negotiations with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy toward a peace deal with russia. i just think he should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through thick and thin. democrats urging swift action. without our assistance, this gets very, very hard for the ukrainians. and by the way, it gets easy for russia. this is what russia wants. democratic lawmakers also inviting fired federal workers to president trump's address to congress tonight. aaron hill lost her job with the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency after her boss assured her she was safe. we have justified why you're vital to the organization. she wants to put a

face to theation's federal workforce. when you work for this country, you feel a pride in the work that you do. as president trump prepares t defend his vision for the country. in a new interview, vice president vance said president trump will focus tonight on successes in his first weeks in office. there are also key challenges to address, including inflation rising again and a government shutdown deadline now looming next week. issues we may hear about from the democratic rebuttal that's coming from michigan senator elissa slotkin. back to you, lauren marcus. a lot of eyes on what will happen tonight. thank you alice. definitely. and coming up this morning on the today show, savannah guthrie is live from washington, d.c. to lead team coverage ahead of president trump's joint address to congress. the today show has everything you need to know about trump's first primetime address to the nation in his second term as president. that begins at 7:00 this morning, right after today in the bay.

years. vta most recent offer was 9% over three years. the amalgamated transit union represents about 1500 bus and light rail operators and otherer workers. members voted in favor of a strike, and the union got the green light from the south bay labor council, so there may not be a strike today, but definitely a strike seems to be looming in san jose. kris sanchez today in the bay. paulo, thank you so much, kris. a hayward police officer was at the right place at the right time and is now being hailed as a hero after saving a choking toddler. this video, posted by hayward police department, shows a distraught family running up to officer emilio gonzalez last month and handing him their limp 11 month old daughter. the officer grabbed the girl, put her on her stomach and hit her several times on the back, dislodging a rubber hair tie blocking her airway. she started to cry and her family reacted. they were very emotional. her

father started hugging me. the baby was hugging me. i mean, it was. yeah. it was a ltle emotional. definitely. i was happy to see that they were able to go home with their baby. you know, didn't have to go to the hospital feeling to save a life. officer gonzalez says he had just received additional medical training about how to respond to a choking child a week before he managed to help this little girl. the city of oakland unionized service workers are poised to take an ambitious step, decertified from their union to form a new independent union. leaders are launching the kickoff event this afternoon when a rally to mobilize the rank and file. organizers say that workers have a voting deadline at the end of this month. now, this comes as oakland leaders continue to grapple with major budget cuts. but the city late last week did announce a plan to keep four stations open. council members later today are expected to

authorize that plan. it is eight minutes after the hour. taking a live look outside at downtown san jose. what is this tuesday morning have in store for us weather wise? let's check in with the pro meteorologist kari hall. well, we are starting out with some clouds in the south bay. some light showers in parts of the north bay that we can see on storm ranger. that green there covering parts of sonoma county as you're heading out this morning. we are going to see some hit or miss rain, but the north bay has the best chance of getting some of that rain as this system moves through. we're already feeling the cool weather, and now we'll have clouds and a slight chance of rain. so as we take a look at what's next rain at times throughout the day, once again, the north bay has the best chance of at least measuring something and then some better rain chances in the forecast tomorrow and thursday, while the sierra will get more snow, which is right now running about 82% of its normal amount of snowfall. so we'll talk more about that and what's ahead coming up. mike is saving us a

few cents at the gas pump. yeah, we found a surprise here. there's a sinker out there, a price lower than yesterday, 3.99. it's under four bucks. down a dime from yesterday in pinole. same spot in maratho and central gas on san pablo avenue in santa clara county. though we still lead with the prices in san jose. and the best again is 413. we're calling out mo's stop on camden avenue today, and in the north bay we have vallejo, which has the best in solano county with 419. national petroleum on springs road. but that one price drop gives us a little hope. check your area. gasbuddy.com on the roadways. green sensors dominate the map. same thing for contra costa county. no slowing for highway four. highway 37 should show a blip or two in the next few minutes. meanwhile, getting across the golden gate bridge, we had traffic stopped for a couple of minutes. it looks like a few cars coming across. there was overnight road work. there will be again tonight. should be clearing right about now. there may be a traffic break for the next couple of minutes. back to you. good to know. thanks, mike. it is 510 right now. a free on

demand transit for some south bay residents. just ahead on today in the bay, the launch event taking place today. and when you can score your first ride. and we'll have much more about how terrorists these brand new tariffs established today will affect you out to the futures. this morning. wall street got hit hard yesterday on those new tariffs. looks like that

minutes past the hour and as we

take a live look outside in oakland. we're starting out a little bit milder with more clouds. it's 51 degrees, and we'll see a lot of clouds throughout the morning with some peeks of sunshine today. and there may be some quick passing showers, but not expecting a whole lot of any heavy rain anywhere across the bay area. we will talk about more rain chances in our forecast through the middle of the week, and a look ahead to the weekend coming up in a few minutes. release the cars. there are traffic break is now clear as you approach the golden gate bridge. the overnight roadwork southbound has cleared and no problems getting into the city now. overnight roadwork will continue again tonight, and for the rest of the week. we'll talk about them again later on in the show. well good morning. very happy tuesday to you. bloomberg reports walgreens may take itself private as soon as this week. a company or investor that does that just by buying up all the its own stock. wells fargo says it's going to end work to make its investments and loans

net zero emissions, esg. that's environmental, social and governance falling out of favor. markets hit hard on monday as it became evident those new tariffs against canada and mexico really were going to take effect. and they did. 25% tariffs against essentially all mexican products, 25% on almost all canadian products except energy, 10%. those are in effect as of right now. the current tariffs on china largely doubled. further. china has now increased its tariffs against us in response to the tariffs we put on them. here's the president speaking monday. it's going to be very costly for people to take advantage of this country. they can't come in and steal our money and steal our jobs and take our factories and take our businesses and expect not to be punished. and they're being punished by tariffs. it's a very powerful weapon. think about

jobs and factories and businesses in the short term. we expect the tariffs to hurt us a lot, like car makers. even cars made in america often use parts from canada and mexico. a car engine may be partially manufactured here, then shipped up to canada to be finished, then spped back here to be placed in the car. it sounds crazy, but it works. or it worked. one report from anderson economic group estimates the tariffs will add $4,000 to the price of an average crossover suv. that's the price you pay. the today show is going to have a lot more on the effect on car prices coming up at seven. and yeah, you're going to pay more for avocados. but the worry here is not guacamole. it's those factories and jobs i mentioned. china added new tariffs on our products, particularly american own food like wheat and chicken and beef. that makes our products harder to sell to them. a republican senator from kansas

held a town hall with his constituents this week, and it got rowdy. farmers among them, for sure. people worried about tariffs and government cuts to agricultural funding, among others, though senator roger marshall says the people objecting were, quote, democratic operatives. you know, chicken and beef farmers have so many troubles these days. you know, they don't have the workers because they fled the factories. the chicken creators have the bird flu, the bird flu, and now they got tariffs. tough time. very much so. all right. thanks, scott. well, happening today sunnyvale and santa clara valley transportation authority holding a launch event for the perry park rides free rideshare app. the app provides free, flexible, on demand transit for the northwest sunnyvale area. the service allows you to travel between the perry park business district, sunnyvale caltrain station, and downtown sunnyvale. the app is now up and running, and it's free to download on your local app store. mardi gras celebrations getting underway across the country today. and

that includes right here in the bay area. carnival san francisco kicks off its 47th fat tuesday celebration tonight in the mission. the festivities include live music, costume participants, and beads, and it begins at 5:00 tonight, and it takes place across more than 20 venues. shamier. well, trending this morning, fresh off this year's oscars. mcdonald's is revealing what certain members of hollywood's a-list order. okay, so the fast food chain dropped a new commercial featuring stars. go to breakfast orders. and let's start with michael b jordan there. so mcdonald's says that creed star there enjoys two eggs and cheese mcmuffins two hash browns with strawberry jelly. meanwhile. multi-talented is your girl. keke palmer selected a more healthy option. she ordered fruit and maple oatmeal with a side of hash browns and kieran culkin. culkin is now an oscar winner. but you know what? when it comes to his mickey d's order, he actually tends to

leave the food on the side. literally. here, he just orders a small coke. i hear you. that's it. you can't get it anywhere else. no kidding. that drive through line for that, i guess. i guess they're searching for your go to. go to mcdonald's. the chick fil a, i mean, not chick fil a, but the filet-o-fish, the pizza hut. i like the filet-o-fish sandwich. that's. i'll get that with no cheese. it depends on what i like. if i feel like something fried, like a fried chicken, i get chicken sandwich. or maybe i'll get the grilled chicken. oh, well. healthy alternatives. right? yeah, i guess there's not that much healthy stuff on the menu. did you say they took the salads off? yeah. they did. that was about the only thing i used to have there. yeah. and so. yeah. no. okay. shamrock shake season is coming. oh, yeah. saint patrick. those are all tural. yeah. yeah. that's the only bad thing about it. yeah. but today's fat tuesday. kari. all right. and i brought. i brought you all a little a

little something this morning. oh, really? yeah. i bought you all a king cake. so the baby. all right. so let's get started this morning with some hot coffee and starting out with some milder temperatures. we're heading out in san rafael. and then as we take a look at our hour by hour forecast, we are seeing that chance of some spotty showers. a better chance of rain as we go into tomorrow morning, mainly for the south bay, and then the rest of the bay area. may see some quick moving showers throughout the late morning into the afternoon. here we are on thursday morning and there's still some passing showers, so it's going to be very hit or miss. and the amount of rainfall that we see as of right now looks to be a lot less for the north bay, but possibly a quarter to half inch of rain from the peninsula to the east bay, as well as the south bay. and looking at the sierra, the sierra snowpack is right at about normal for the northern

sierra, where we've had quite a bit of snow. the central sierra around lake tahoe is at about 78% of its normal amount. and so statewide we're averaging about 82%. and it's so important to keep an eye on this because it does provide a third of the state's water supply. as that snow melt happens in spring, it flows down to the reservoirs and gives us our summertime water supply. but right now, we're looking ahead to only about 3 to 5 additional inches of snow. with these next storm systems coming in before we hit the weekend. the weekend is looking dry. temperatures here wl be warming up. headed for the mid to upper 60s. looks really nice and we're going to enjoy it before more rain comes back in early next week. right now, mike, it looks like you're seeing a clear drive across the bay bridge. beautiful commute into san francisco or out of san francisco. and a beautiful view of the city. clear. no problems right now as you're crossing the bay. a little predictable build for highway 37. those sensors, folks are easing off the

accelerator, crossing the bridge into mare island highway four. we may see a blip or two over the next couple of minutes. starting to build just subtly through contra costa county.nd that's about it. looking at the farther drive, we do, of course, have the altamont pass. things ease up by the time we get into livermore, and no problems for the tri-valley. east bay 880 still smooth at the limit coming off the castro valley, y and the south bay still has yet to wake up as far as the commute goes. we'll see that first burst of traffic start to slow traffic a little bit approaching oakland road in the next few minutes, just about 40 after. back to you. thank you mike. well, increasing awareness about green industry careers. next here on today in the bay we're going to tell you about the partnership local businesses and schools are creating to help inspire students to consider a career focused on agriculture and air quality. keep it right here.

i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we''ve bn able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%.

that's something i want to believe. [skateboard sounds] a bay and happening now. some bay area schools will take part in green career week. this week wasreated by the nonprofit seed your future to inspire students and connect them with businesses focused on agriculture, plants and flowers. for example, the san francisco flower market will be working with schools in the san ramon valley unified school district. organizers say they hope this week not only unveils different career paths, but helps everyone realize the importance of green careers that have that have our

food supply and air quality. it gives you that fulfilling sensation of you fed somebody, you clothe somebody. you know, these flowers that you're growing are impacting somebody's physical, mental and emotional health. there are so many people that don't want to work at a 9 to 5. they don't want to work behind a desk. so, right, we got to get in front of those people and let them know you can work with nature, you can work with these beautiful plants. and so we're looking for young people to move into this industry and move it forward. some of the california businesses that take part in green career week include the wonderful company as in the pistachios and cutie oranges, and the filoli historic house in the garden in the peninsula. so you can learn more about green career week and how to involve them in your lesson plans. we're going to put a link on our website, nbcbayarea.com, and click for that. look for this story and click on that climate crisis tab. back to you.

really interesting. thanks, kari. well, next here top stories we're following today including overnight new tariffs for china, mexico and canada took effect, fueling fears of a worldwide trade war. maher scott mcgrew has more on the impact this will have on the prices you pay, from gas to food. a special election today here on the peninsula. the measure that could lead to the ouster of san mateo county sheriff christina corpus. sy with us. ytaou

we are golden 1. california's trusted credit union. for nearly a century, we've taken every chance to empower our members, serve our communities, and build brighter futures. because we believe that every single one of us is on a journey. but it's when we come together, that we become the unstoppable that we become the unstoppable one. join us. golden 1 credit union. life is a journey best lived together.

right now at 530. president trump says college protesters should be jailed. we'll have that and the latest on those tariffs. plus heading to the polls, a special election on the peninsula to decide the fate of an embattled sheriff. we're live this morning with the important question now hanging in the balance. also dialing back on work from home. the new executive order from governor gavin newsom to return to the office. and the dubious response from some state workers. this is today in the bay. good morning to you on this tuesday. i'm marcus washington. and i'm laura garcia. let's start out with a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect. a little bit of rain today in some spots.s. not all of us will see the rain, but we're already feeling the chill, and the clouds will continue. let's get a look at storm ranger. that's our mobile doppler radar. the scan. they're showing a little bit of green on the peninsula,

as well as parts of the north bay. we can see that rain right over santa rosa. and it's basically lined up with highway 101. so a little bit of a soggy commute as you're having to turn on the windshield wipers this morning. a very quickoving and weak storm system passing by. and we will have some better rain chances ahead. but we are starting out with temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s, and our highs today near 60 degrees. and mike, you're seeing that it's time for a change at the bay bridge. you're talking about some weather changes. i'm talking about the lighting change. the metering lights should be activated at any second. we see the volume starting to build right here. and we do see where i've circled at the bottom of the incline where things get congested. we lose lanes. there's more slowing there. also, at the golden gate bridge, over on the left side of the screen, we had some slowing. a second traffic break. looks like all the crews are cleared. concord. look at that over on the right side there. highway four does show a little slowing getting into concord traditional for contra costata countynywhere south of there. looking really good. but if we look at the

travel time for vasco road, we do see that it's slowing a bit. there's your traditional slowing south as you approach 580 coming out of contra costa county. back to you. thanks, mike. well, president trump has cut off all military aid to ukraine. now, scott, it wasn't that long ago that he was actually impeached for that. yeah. that's right. it was not that long ago at all because of that quid pro quo he wanted from zelensky. you investigate my political opponent. families deal in your country, you get the weapons you were promised. this time around. there's no such unethical behavior. the president is being much more straightforward. not know this for that. just a cutoff of weapons promised to ukraine. this comes, of course, after that incredibly awkward white house meeting where zelensky was called in to sign a deal that would give away much of his country's mineral rights. but that deal never got signed because the white house asked zelensky to leave. vice president vance joined trump in criticizing the ukrainian president and defended his actions monday on fox news

channel, saying he had wanted to speak to zelensky in private. but the president wanted to make the conversation public. we're having this meeting. obviously there are 100 television cameras here. let's try to have this conversation in private. and then the president, as we kept on going back and forth, i tried again to say, well, maybe we should have this conversation in private. and the president was like, no, actually, i don't want to have in private anymore. i want to have this actual conversation in public for the american people to see. and i do think that there was just a certain sense of there was a lack of respect, there was a certain sense of entitlement. now, i mentioned arms to ukraine, but there's also concern about america's own spending on our defense. senator mitch mcconnell raising the alarm about american defense spending, saying because congress still hasn't passed a new budget. defense spending is frozen at 2024 levels. they don't account for inflation or new projects. mcconnell, writing an op ed in the washington post, warns we cannot defeat

tomorrow's enemies with yesterday's budget. the president said on social media this morning the federal government would cut off educational funding for any college or university that did not expel american students involved in what he called illegal protests. now, he didn't specify what made them illegal. he also repeated a promise to deport foreign students studying here who participate in that same protest. no masks, he wrote in all caps and then added, thank you for your attention to this matter. president trump will speak to a joint session of congress tonight. obviously, we're watching for what he plans for ukraine. probably there will be a defense of doge elon musk's cuts to the government. the president right here is speaking about a new chip investment monday. at the same time, bloomberg reports the office in charge of the chips act was cut by 2/5. we also expect him to talk about tariffs. there are new tariffs on canada and mexico that took effect today. laura, we'll talk more about those as

we talk business. coming up about 30 minutes. all right. sounds good. will tonight join nbc news for special coverage of president trump's joint address to congress. coverage begins this evening at 6:00. and a heads up for viewers. there is a newscast change this evening following president trump's joint address. there's an episode of deal or no deal island, followed by a special 9 p.m. newscast. and at 10:00, dateline is set to air, followed by our regularly scheduled 11 p.m. newscast. well, in just a few hours, voters in san mateo county will make a major decision. this is regarding the fate of their embattled sheriff today in the bay's. bob redell joins us live from outside the sheriff's headquarters in downtown redwood city this morning. and bob, talk a little bit, maybe break down, measure a what it's asking for. yeah. good morning to laura marcus. measure a is the only measure on the ballot during today's special election here in san mateo county. and it asks voters to give the san mateo county board

of supervisors the power to remove a sheriff for cause with a 4/5 vote. the board is pursuing this measure in response to an independent report, an audit that it commissioned in november of last year. that 400 plus page report was released, and it accuses san mateo county sheriff cristina corpus of a conflict of interest, abuse of power, intimidation and retaliation against employees, and the use of racist and homophobic language. her own captains, the deputies union, several cities here on the peninsula, and local political leaders. they have asked her to step down, but sheriff corpus has refused. she says she is the victim of false lies and accusations from those who want to keep the sheriff's office a, quote, white man's world in her words. and she has since filed a $10 million claim against san mateo county. last december, voters approved today's special election. sheriff corpus challenged measure a in court, but a judge upheld. today's special election. this was back in february. a political science professor at ucsc explained to

us the implications of measure a by allowing the board of supervisors to do this. they also get to appoint an interim replacement. and so that seems semi undemocratic in the sense that the person who was elected board, and then someone who was not elected could replace them. the county has until the end of next month to certify today's special election results. if voters approve measure a, the board would then meet would have to publicly explain their reasons for wanting to remove the sheriff and then would vote again. reporting live here outside the san mateo county sheriff's office here in downtown redwood city. bob redell today in the bay. all right. a lot to cover. we'll see how the day will, you know, really hold out there. thanks, bob. we know some state workers, including leaders of some of the largest state worker unions, are expressing frustration with governor gavin newsom's new executive order. this is to bring everyone back to the office at least four days a

week. well, the governor yesterday ordered workers back by july 1st. it affects close to 100,000 state workers currently required to be in the office just two days per week, and it will still allow for case by case exemptions. now, some state workers are skeptical about it, making much of a difference in activity. i haven't seen any benefit to my own personal productivity being in the office five days per week, and frankly, i have no idea where they're going to fit everyone. our floor is completely full on tuesdays and wednesdays. i know one of the things they're going to say about us comining back, it's for collaboration purposes. but like, honestly, we do a lot of collaboration on microsoft teams and that works great. so the governor's announcement follows a similar order recently given to san francisco workers. that rule takes effect at the end of the month, next month. that is, the remote. federal workers are also facing new pressure to return to the office. let's take a live look outside in san

francisco, where supervisors later today expected to lay out a new four pronged strategy to combat public drug use and open air drug markets. this follows a huge police bust last week in jefferson park near japantown. that's where police. i just i need to clear my throat, but i don't want to gross everybody out either. okay? that's where police say close to 100 people were actually arrested. neighbors last week told us they believe many of those arrested relocated there after the city cleared out areas in the 10-day, jewell loyd and south of market. and authorities have still not identified the man killed in a solo rollover crash yesterday. this is in san jose. it closed three northbound lanes of highway 101 south of tully road. this is during the height of the evening commute. 50 year old driver died there at the scene. the lane closures lasted about four hours. investigators are still trying to determine how this all happened. okay, let's take a live look outside of the bay bridge toll plaza on this now tuesday morning. we'll check that morning commute with mike in just a little bit. let's talk

about the forecast with kari. we should enjoy today. we are going to have a nice day. with the exception of some spotty showers that have been moving here and there. as we take a look at storm ranger, if you have the nbc bay area app, you'll be actually getting alerts if any rain is heading in your location. that will b very useful today because not everyone will see the rain. but where we do see it, it may slow you down just a little bit. mainly with that drive on 101 from the north bay all the way down to san mateo, we're seeing some light rain while it is partly cloudy in the south bay, and we will see a slight chance of rain today with more rain chances tomorrow and thursday, as well as more sierra snow coming in before the end of the week. and mike, you're seeing some traffic building up on this tuesday at the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights have been activated for about ten minutes now, and we see the slowing approaching the toll plaza. the sensors show slowing at the incline, as well as the decline getting into the city. more crowded and that's expected for the morning commute. highway 37 and highway four. same thing as far as the build goes. there's 242 kicking off just below. the sensor reads as we're

looking ahead towards your drive as well. a note chase center they do have a concert tonight. the deftones are playing at 7:00 pm, so we're talking about traffic to and from 280 right here in that portion just south of the crossover and lefty o'doul bridge. and then overnight golden gate bridge is what we're talking about. lane restrictions just like overnight one lane south and two lanes northbound open again at 5 a.m. we saw those traffic breaks happening just at the start of our show. as we look at the rest of the bay, a smooth flow of traffic, no major issues. one more note for san francisco. remember that central subway project continues, so you have to use the busses over the surface instead of below in the subway tunnels. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. 541 right now, still ahead on today in the bay bringing divorce into the 21st century. the process of collaborative divorce actually helped us to heal some of the hurt and loss, even as we were in the midst of divorcing. this morning, we're exploring a new way for families to move forward

to new research. miriam villarreal, from our sister station telemundo 48, explores the impact for latas. it's a silent battle that many women go through. data shows that postpartum depression cases are on the rise, especially in the latin community. this is a report done in collaboration with usc annenberg center for health journalism. her daughter, sweet voice, draws an instant smile on stephanie's face, a joy that came after a process of mixed emotions after becoming a mother, and she compares her feelings that went from light to darkness, like something out of a movie. like it's one of those movies that everything feels like it's great, like sadness. sadness matched with anxiety, matched with nervousness, feelings that she didn't recognize and thought were the so-called baby blues, which affects 75% of new mothers and begin as soon as the first day after giving birth. something that could be anticipated but not extended. you can have those feelings of being overwhelmed, sadness, lack of joy. but if that lasts for more than two

weeks, then we call it the baby blues. you really want to understand that you might be facing postpartum depression? doctor bianco explains that cases of postpartum depression in latinas are on the rise. research reflects an increase of more than double between 2010 and 2021. in fact, another study shows that 40% of latinas experience a mental health disorder after birth, such as depression, compared to white mothers, attributed in part to the socioeconomic and immigration status. which is why doctor bianco says it's important to not miss your postpartum appointments. it's screening the first intake, the first visit with your obstetrician, and the six weeks postpartum. however, when stephanie went to hers, she says she didn't relate to any of the listed symptoms. time went by feeling unwell and not knowing who to tell. the mental health stigma in the latino community makes many of them stay silent and an extra factor. transculturation. maybe, perhaps coming from another country, maybe not having the same amount

of people supporting you. according to experts, the language barrier migrating to another country and not having a support circle are other factors that may contribute to latinas developing postpartum depression. and the next part of this report, we will navigate through help we found in our region. back to you. all right. thanks, miriam. well, this is divorce with respect week, highlighting an option for families who want to enter their new phase of life without going to court. in a collaborative divorce, both parties agree in writing to avoid going to court and to prioritize the well-being of their children through the process. both sides meet with child and financial specialists and divorce coaches to come up with an agreement that is best for the family moving forward. now, here's a therapist behind the divorce with respect movement. how do we not just survive the divorce? how do we preserve the co-parenting relationship? maybe even change some of the dynamics, or improve

our communication with one another? so we spoke with two spouses to opt for the alternative for court, divorce and interests of their son. take a listen. even when in the beginning it was hard, i did believe that we would get to an amicable place. that agreement from the beginning just changed the tone because that was the goal, was to do it together in the healthiest way possible for everyone involved. now you can explore collaborative divorce at divorce with respect week.com. the organization is offering several free sessions. interesting. so good luck with that. all right. 549 right now, this morning, two eggs belonging to big bear's beloved bald eagles, jackie and shadow appear to be hatching. so the pair have been watched by millions of people since 2017. this is when they took over this abandoned nest with two cameras installed

there beside it. so over the more than 14 eggs. five of themd have hatched, but only three survived to adulthood. here's a live look at that nest this morning. you can see momma there with those little baby eggs underneath her, watching over the lake behind her. and we're watching her. but of course, that process can take some days nonow. but we are watching. fans can watch what is happening here on this nest camera. 24 hour live feed there. look at that. she's moving around. we've been watching it all morning here in the studio. it's been kind of fun. it's amazing because you get such an up close personal view there. and every once in a while, she'll get up and move around. everybody goes like, oh, right, right. the eggs. they're hatching. and what a view. it almost looks fake, doesn't it? yeah, it's real though. it's, you know, that nest must cost a lot. with a view like that, it's got to be a big nest. yeah, i know. all right, we're watching little mama. yeah. every now and then, when she would move around, we would be able to see

the eggs and the eggs and stuff, but keeping them warm. but she knows that we're watching her right now, and she's like, she's like, look, it is too early. do not look at me. that's what she's turned away. yeah, exactly. hasn't slept a wink either. it's just like a new mom. yeah. all right, so let's get started this morning. we're trying to keep warm here. we are going to have some milder temperatures, more clouds, and even a chance of rain. so we want of course, with springtime approaching. talk about allergies. yeah. we're seeing a high amount of pine, cedar and oak pollen floating through the air. as of now mold is fairly low. so if you've been a little irritated and, you know, sneezing a little bit more, that may be it. take that allergy pill. we're going to have something that doesn't really help clear out much of that pollen out of the air. some very light and spotty showers moving through as we get a closer look at parts of sonoma county. seeing that rain that's moving over toward napa county within the next few minutes, and we have some rain over redwood city

that's also passing by the bay and headed toward the east bay. so a lot of the rain that we've seen has been moving from west to east, and there will be that slight chance of rain early. otherwise partly to mostly cloudy today. stopping the timeline at 5:00 tomorrow morning. so at this time tomorrow we could see some rain over parts of the south bay. that may be heavy at times, and then throughout the day, looking at some off and on showers and cool temperatures continuing into early thursday. during that time, we're looking at a measurement of most of us getting about a 10th of an inch of rain or less, from san francisco to the north bay. could be a little bit more for areas farther to the south. and then looking at the rest of the forecast, spotty rain tomorrow as well as thursday. and then heading into the weekend, we warm up. we clear out. looks like a beautiful weekend ahead to make some plans to get outside. and we'll also see rain coming back on monday while san francisco. we'll see clouds today, a spotty shower and then a clearing out there as well for

the weekend. mike, you're seeing traffic continuing to build. yeah, it is building up in san jose. actually it's just reached the peak. and now we should start to see these speeds improve until 40 after the next hour, 40 after 540 after six is when we tend to see the slowing start. the 6:00 hour is when things start to stick for the south bay commute, so this will ease up a bit. coming through san jose. nothing unexpected for one on one or the rest of the south bay freeways. the tri-valley looks great behind me. there's a little slowing into the altamont pass. pretty mild right now considering it's a tuesday, but we do see the slower drive coming here off the castro valley area off the y. 238 and then 880 bills we'll see more traffic flow over toward the san mateo bridge. it's all again on pace here for that area out of the tri-valley. but look, vasco road, we're at almost a half hour mark now, so we do see the build leaving contra costa county. folks, take vasco road down to 580. it gets very crowded that last stretch, that last mile down towar 580 itself. right on schedule. 580 highway four show that westbound commute heading over in toward

the rest of the bay bridge. drive the backup here. pretty gradual for tuesday. it's not bad, but it will continue to build steadily throughout the next hour or so. and then it will, of course, be completely full by the nex 15 minutes or so. as we check those cameras, we do see more traffic coming in out of the maze, as well as down the upper east shore freeway. el cerrito down in toward berkeley as traditional trend here. highway 37 highway 4 shows you what we're talking about. i want you to notice this kari talked about light rain coming through. look at that green highlighting. that's what we're seeing as well. we're here in novato and north up in through petaluma, santa rosa, san rafael. not a problem. we'll take a live look out there. and we do see traffic flowing. these brake lights are the on ramp there waiting their meter to get down there. southbound is a smooth drive. again. watch those sprinkles farther north from san rafael. but here, all the way down to the golden gate bridge, you are at speed a great flow of traffic for those tail lights. no worries. getting into san francisco, the city itself. back to you. thanks, mike. well, some encouraging news overnight for pope francis as he battles pneumonia in a rome hospital. the vatican says a noninvasive
