drone attacks on moscow. all of this as ukraine is set to attend pivotal peace talks today. plus, addressing the bay area's homeless crisis. the plans multiple bay area cities are set to consider as they all move to help house the homeless. this is today in the bay. good tuesday morning to you. 5:00 right now. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. we're going to get a look at that commute with mike coming up in just a bit. but first, meteorologist vianey arana in for kari today. and the thing we've been talking about, the incoming getting closer and closer. southern california already experiencing some rain since last night. and we're going to see our round of rain moving in in the next couple of hours. so let's talk about the current temps right now. it's in the 40s upper 40s today because we do have an increase in cloud cover that will continue throughout the afternoon. and here's what we're seeing right now on satellite. we can expect to see these high clouds start

to roll through. but if i zoom this out and get the wide picture, you can see that system that i was talking about in impacting southern california that will begin to make its push upward. and then just to our north, we've got another system lining up. and that's what's going to bring impacts heading into the remainder of the week. so here's what we're going to be looking over for the remainder of today. we're going to be seeing the return of wednesday. heavy rain at times wednesday winds also going to be problematic. those gusts could get upwards of 45 plus miles per hour. it is likely that they will begin to issue wind advisories starting tonight into tomorrow. and then there is also a possibility of local thunderstorms with hail, as this winter storm could bring the possibility for some lower elevation snow in our local bay area mountains. so i will be back with the timing and a closer look at how long this rain will last in just a few minutes. first, let's check in with mike. all right. vianey, we're starting in the santa clara valley, where we continue with no light rail or busses for vta. there's been no change

since yesterday. again, there's that union transit union strike, but paratransit is operating normally. so you do have that for folks who rely on that to get around city streets. and the freeways are affected, but the freeways are not really seeing much more traffic, at least didn't yesterday. we're watching for. right now we have a green green sensor build all around the bay 880 northbound at 29th. up until just a few minutes ago, there was a crash with a big rig at the offramp. it looks like it may have been cleared from the grid. and this cleared from our maps. a smooth drive for 580 880 and highway 13. getting through the maze and the bay bridge right now. nice. easy. clear drive. back to you. thank you very much. well, new overnight hours ahead of a key u.s. meeting with ukraine on peace talks, ukraine is launching what it is said to be the largest ever drone attack on russia. russian leaders say about 90 drones were shot down over the moscow region. at least two people are dead. 18 others, including three children, are injured and at least seven

apartments in moscow are damaged. but russian air defenses shot down more than 300 drones across ten regions overnight. ukraine so far is not commenting. in the meantime, u.s. secretary of state marco rubio is in saudi arabia this morning where he is meeting with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy about a possible ceasefire, according to senior ukrainian leaders, the deal would cover the black sea and long range missile strikes, as well as the release of prisoners. it follows the white house meltdown 12 days ago between president trump and president zelensky, which has since led to the u.s. cutting off its weapons and intelligence. this will be the first diplomatic interaction since that confrontation. well, now to a live look at the futures ahead of the opening bell. now, this follows the worst day on wall street this year, and the worst day for the nasdaq since september of 2022. the dow dropped close to 900 points and the nasdaq fell 4%.

and it comes with more tariffs set to go into effect tomorrow. and on friday, government funding deadline looming in washington today in the bay's alice barr live for us in washington this morning. and alice, as fears of that recession grow, president trump insists that the pain will be worth it. yeah, marcus, certainly the white house looking to reassure and looking to see what the markets do today after that dismal day yesterday, with all the gains so far this year erased. the white house put out a statement saying that president trump is going to repeat what it called historic job wage and investment growth from his first term. after a rough day on wall street with investors selling off stocks over fears a trump trade war could tip the country into a recession. the white house, downplaying what it called the animal spirits of the stock market, putting out a list of 50 wins in 50 days and pointing to business leaders support that, as president trump on sunday did not rule out a recession this

year. i hate to predict things like that. there is a period of transition. later adding we're going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, and we're going to become so rich. after the president hit top trading partners with new tariffs. china striking back with its own tariffs on u.s. agricultural products everything from chicken, wheat and corn to soybeans. we're going to have a lot of farmers that go out of business and aren't able to continue on the current trajectory. canada issuing retaliatory tariffs and now the province of ontario hiking electric rates for a million and a half americans who rely on canadian power exports. if the united states escalates, i will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely. on capitol hill, lawmakers sparring over the trump administration's policies. donald trump and house republicans are crashing the economy and hurting hardworking

american families. i believe that the policies that we're putting forth are going to improve the economy and bring down costs for people. it takes a little while that as lawmakers work to pass a funding bill by friday to prevent a government shutdown, that would only add to economic uncertainty. a short term government funding bill made it out of committee last night, and the full house is expected to vote later today. the senate is the bigger challenge where seven democrats would have to get on board, many voicing opposition, looking again to flex whatever political muscle they can muster in the face of all these rapid changes from the trump administration. marcus. president trump saying it would be worth it. but i'm sure a lot of those folks dealing with the uncertainty right now possibly not feeling that way. all right. alice barr in washington, alice. thank you. the philippines former president is under arrest this morning in the capital of manila on a warrant from the international criminal court. authorities say interpol forces yesterday took

79 year old ex president rodrigo duterte into custody at manila's main airport as he returned from a trip to hong kong. judges are charging him with crimes against humanity during his war on drugs, human rights groups say, first as mayor and then during his presidency, thousands of unarmed people were executed without due process. many of them were innocent. duterte's attorney calls the arrest unlawful and says the philippines stopped recognizing the international criminal court in 2019. well, in just a few hours, marin county leaders will work to address homelessness. the county is considering declaring a shelter crisis today in the bay's ginger conejero saab joins us live this morning. and ginger, this isn't the first time leaders there have tried to make this move. no it's not. good morning, marcus and laura. the last time that they did this was in 2018, so that they could access state housing funding. now, this new declaration does

not provide funding, but it does ease the approval of a temporary shelter so that the county can bypass things like local zoning requirements and environmental review. so the hope here is to really provide more options. although funding, as i mentioned, for those options are not detailed in this specific action. the marin county board of supervisors will consider declaring a shelter crisis at its board meeting at 9:00 this morning. that, along with changes to building codes, will allow them to add removable cabins or rvs as options for emergency shelter. the declaration would last three years, and it would only apply to unincorporated areas of marin county. now fremont isaking another approach. it is now focusing on cracking down on camping on public property, with a controversial ordinance soon to take effect. aside from making it illegal to camp on public property, it also makes it a misdemeanor to aid and abet

an illegal encampment. several groups are pushing back. advocates for the unhoused say the ordinance criminalizes those who are homeless, and they are now filing a federal civil lawsuit to try to prevent the ordinance from starting. we think that this is a moment that people all over the country need to pay attention to, because it is signaling the direction that we're going with respect to taking care of the people who need care the most. fremont city council previously said it is considering amending the misdemeanor clause of the ordinance. the city has agreed to not enforce the ordinance until after march 18th. now, marcus and laura, in the next hour, we'll talk about a specific image that's fueling criticism and anger with how the city of fremont is handling its issue of the unhoused. for now, we're live in san francisco,

ginger conejero saab. today in the bay. cities across the bay area, really across the country trying to do some things. all right. thank you. ginger. let's take a live look out in walnut creek this morning. things look nice and pleasant for us, but what are those temperatures feeling like? meteorologist vianey arana in this morning. i see you're looking at a storm. where is that? right now it's south. but you w were mentioning the temperatures. and if you think today is a little chilly. i'm so sorry, marcus. we're going to get even colder to the point where we could see some bay area snow in our local mountain tops with this winter storm, but here it is. we've got this first system impacting southern california. you can see the rain in la. for us, we're going to see the arrival of this rain. if you want to follow along here, we've got the timing set right now to 4 a.m. you'll notice the precipitation beginning to form up through parts of ukiah around the coastline. and this is when you'll start to really see the rain ramping up. tomorrow at around 10:11 a.m. we'll get some heavier pockets. start pushing through santa rosa, calistoga, san rafael and then becoming more widespread into the evening

hours. so coming up, we'll talk more about the timing, the winds and other impacts in just a few minutes. all right. thanks. vianey 11 after the hour. showing support for tesla. coming up next on today in the bay. the way president trump plans to show his alliance towards elon musk. and it was just a slaughter on the stock market yesterday. we go out to the futures this morning. a little bit of an increase but nowhere near what we need to make back lost and creating original music using ai. ahead for you. new san francisco based startup allowing users to create personalized tracks on its platform and the major pop artists helping with the lnch. keep iaut

is14. here's what we're taking a closer look at. the return of a rain and wind, but also a chance for local mountain snow as we transition into an active weather pattern ahead. what you need to know coming up. but right now we're looking at dublin and it's moving smoothly with good conditions. west 580 typical build out of the altamont pass. moving west. we'll track your build and those sensor changes coming up. well good morning. very happy tuesday to you. absolute bloodbath on wall street. investors and companies continue to be confused about tariffs. worried about the direction of the economy. dow fell nearly 900 points. nasdaq had its worst day in three years. rocket mortgage is buying the real estate firm

redfin for $1.75 billion worth of stock. tesla absolutely crushed on the market as that brand suffers. president trump says he'll buy a tesla to show support of tesla ceo elon musk. musk told larry kudlow he's probably not paying enough attention to the companies he runs. he also blamed the nationwide protests against tesla o on, quote, democratic operatives. and tesla was not musk's only headache. this week, his social media platform, x, was offline from time to time. on monday, musk also spoke about that in his fox news interview. there was a cyber attack on x today, which shut it down and may have been foreign sourced. it's a big story. you want to give us a moment on that? well, we don't we're not sure exactly what happened, but there was a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the x system with ip addresses originating in the

ukraine area. now, there are those who have doubts about musk's claims. he often says things that turn out not to be true, and experts point out if it were a cyber attack, those who create an attack like that almost always mask or spoof their location. amazon, which was often a trump target, has added reruns of the apprentice to its prime video lineup. the apprentice ran for ten seasons, with trump holding or hosting nine of them and the end of an era. southwest is going to start charging for bags. southwest had resisted the idea for years, saying it would actually lose the money because its customers picked southwest, primarily because it didn't charge for bagsgs, and any money made would be offset by passengers defecting to other airlines. but yes, southwest is. now, you know, there are individual seats. they're going to have a low cost option, which is hard to imagine. yeah. what do you just layer up your clothes? i'm nervous about that one. right. yeah. okay. i have saved a lot

of money. i mean, traveling with all my kids, it's nice, you know, having golf bags particularly, you know, those are, those are, those are free or they were. yeah. those are expensive. yeah. and they go to a lot of, you know, golfing communities in the desert and whatnot. okay. all right. thanks guys. well, 23 this morning in san francisco, a startup is taking music to a whole new level. they're actually doing to music what chatgpt does with the written word. the first day in this new place, feeling so alone. beat up back back back. microphone. the company is called refusion, which uses artificial intelligence to create music complete with lyrics based on user prompts. founder and ceo seth forsgren showed our mike inouye how it could make two versions of a k-pop type rap song, along with lyrics about the bay area in both english and korean, and it took under two minutes from start to finish. he also says the technology is piquing

interest from the music community. we've actually been really excited to see so many musicians like ourselves, but much more successful really coming to us and being like, hey, this is this is an incredible new instrument. how do i use it? how can i push it? how can i find new sounds and create something really compelling that connects with my audience? forsgren also says some acclaimed acts like the chainsmokers are already working with his development team. interesting. i should add that we asked about monetization ownership. that's always a concncern wit music industry, ad they're only allowing it for noncommercial options right now so that you can create. they want you to create. they want to build the community and the technology. but yeah, we're not using it for making profits just yet. very interesting. that's why the musicians like it. it helps inspire. so gaga's next album likely won't be. maybe that creativity. let's start. well, maybe the rain will foster some creativity. blame it on the rain. oh, sing it girl. we do have a live look at downtown san jose and the temperatures in the

40s and 30s in santa rosa. calistoga, including napa, sonoma. now let's take a look at where the rain is and what time it will make its arrival. we've got some high clouds. and just to our south, let's zoom this out. we do have some precipitation already impacting southern california. however, the pacific is very active. look at this system. we're also monitoring here. and we've got a cold front associated with that heading into the weekend. that's going to drop our temperatures down and bring some gusty winds. now let's talk timing here. 6 a.m. we get some rain chances up through parts of santa rosa for tonight though. we're just going to keep the clouds and it's going to get breezy late. by tomorrow evening. we'll get some heavier pockets through the afternoon, and this will be widespread from the north bay down to santa cruz. gilroy area. notice on wednesday, 11 p.m. look what happens over some of our bay area mountain tops. so we get some low elevation snow. that could mean a wintry mix for locations like mount hamilton

overnight wednesday into thursday. and as that settles in, because of the amount of instability associated with this system, you'll see the pockets there with red. we could also see the chance for some thunderstorms to pop up heading into thursday. and looking ahead right now as we see these kind of pockets of pink, orange and yellow, it does look like there could be that possibility, especially into thursday, with the chance for possibly severe thunderstorm warnings as well into the afternoon. winds also going to be a major concern. at around 7 a.m, we start to see the winds gusting upwards of 1520 plus. but once that system begins to fully move through, here's what you can expect 30 to 40 plus mile per hour winds for some of those higher peaks. no wind advisories issued just yet, but that will likely change in the next couple of hours. now, the first storm will bring only around a half an inch to a little over an inch for far northern california, but that's going to be the first of what's

to come. the long range outlook right now, s system i showed you out in the pacific will start to make its drop in from north to south, and that will impact our sunday, but also bringing a big boost to the sierra snowpack, likely 40 plus inches. and a look at your 7-day forecast. yes, that has rain after tomorrow for the next seven days. all right, mike, how are the roads? we're looking at a smooth drive right now a clear drive, great conditions. vianey showed you what's in store for the rest of the week. my goodness. so interstate 80 moving across bills the volume, but no major issues over here for the maze. no metering lights just yet. we do just now in the last 90s see a little bit of slowing coming out of vallejo across the mare island bridge there, this incident here, a disabled vehicle. it's eastbound highway four right around willow pass road. so watch for that activity on the shoulder. not a major concern f your commute direction, which is westbound. dublin interchange moves smoothly. all the construction picked up northbound from overnight. a smooth drive into the south bay 680 does have a

crash or disabled vehicle that's getting to the shoulder just south of calaveras. back to you. thanks so much, mike. next here on today in the bay nbc bay area responds a bogus theme park ticket charge was one headache, a not so merry go round with the bank was a second. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. nbc bay area responds next. nbc bay area and telemundo 48 local grants program is back. applications are officially open. the program, entering its eighth year, will award more than $227,000 to eligible local nonprofits. the application window runs through april 11th. for more details, scan the qr de on your screen. it will de on your screen. it will take you from laminate and vinyl to tile and wood,

visiting knott's berry farm on cinthia. in petaluma's dime, she describes herself as a 77 year old living in a subsidized apartment. so when the theme park seven hours away debited 174 bucks from her checking account for two tickets and one parking pass, cinthia immediately told chase, it's not me. she disputed it. chase then reversed those charges, but then reinstated them and then reversed them again after she disputed them. and, well, they did this three times. cinthia says chase finally sent this letter saying, we researched the disputed transactions carefully. if we use certain documents in our research, we enclosed copies. chase attached this

receipt and that's it. so cinthia contacted us. our team contacted chase. cinthia said chase called her, returned to the disputed $174 and closed the case. chase did not share details with us, only this statement right here. we resolved this issue with the customer and already communicated the good news. kudos to cinthia for flagging the bogus theme park ticket transaction asap. it's a reminder to set up bank alerts so you can monitor for fraudulent activity in real time. if someone's taking you for a ride, maybe our team is the ticket. snap the qr code on the screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form online. thanks so much, kris. well, next year, the top stories we're following today, including potential cuts, could be coming for one federal benefit program. the reason elon musk is now looking to potentially slash social security. and this is day two of the transit strike that has public transportation at a standstill in the south bay. we'll show you what you

30. the strike continues with workers heading back to the picket lines. light rail and bus service will again be halted. we are live this morning with the new action planned for this morning by the union. after another scare on wall street, even some conservatives are now asking president trump to end his pursuit of tariffs. also,

don't put that umbrella away just yet. another storm is headed towards the bay area. we're breaking down the timeline for a new round of wet weather. this is today in the bay. right when you thought spring was around the corner. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at that forecast for you right now. meteorologist vianey arana is tracking what we can expect there. temperatures are pretty cool to start the morning. spring for your tuesday. winter for your wednesday. moving forward. how about that? there we go. we've got 42 degrees, and at ten, 11:00, we'll b bump up into the upper 50s and 60s. so another mild afternoon. we do have an increase in cloud cover by tonight. and here's the reason why. as you look at satellite, i want to zoom this out because this is what's going to give you an idea of what we're monitoring out in the pacific. the development, you can see just to our south, but also to our north. so we've got a cold front that's going to sweep through and that's going to kick up. the winds bring low elevation snow,

a chance for thunderstorms. that could also include hail, especially heading into late wednesday early thursday morning. so as we look ahead, keep in mind today will be your last day to prep anything outdoors, clean the gutters, things like that. if you live near a creek or river, we could see a quick rise in those not expecting any major flooding out of this initial system that rolls through, but this is just the beginning of a series of storms, and with the amount of rain that we're tracking, well, things could change. so another good opportunity to check your tires and windshield wipers, right? here we go and watch those storm drains near your house, because we don't want to kind of come in over the curb. let's look over here as we get into the south bay southbound 680. we talked about a crash and may have the offramp now closed at montague expressway for a few minutes off of southbound 680. there's a crash, no injuries reported, but it does involve a larger truck, so that may take a couple of minutes. you might want to go down to the hostetter exit. if that's still closed, that's your next one to get over to surface streets. meanwhile, we're looking at westbound 580, your commute direction typical slowing out of the altamont. but

watch north livermore. heard about a fender bender over there. no slowing shows up on our sensors. an easy drive throughout the rest of the east bay showing highway 37 in the north bay. typical. a little bit of slowing out of vallejo and highway four over there in concord. coming out of pittsburgh and bay point, we're starting to see break taps. same thing at the bay bridge toll plaza. no major issues though for the bay, though. back to you. thanks so much, mike. well, for the second dayy in a row, many are forced to look for an alternative commute in the south bay. this has vta workers continue to strike with no clear end in sight. today in the bay's kris sanchez joins us from our newsroom with a look at what's happening today. chris, good morning to you, laura and marcus. so today, the union representing about 1600 vta workers is calling on the riding public to join them in their demand for a new contract. train operators, bus drivers, customer service reps, dispatchers and mechanics picketed late into the night near the light rail yard in san jose last night, but the strike started before sunrise yesterday, as we showed you at vta headquarters and three bus yards in san jose and mountain

view. negotiators for the amalgamated transit union, two, six, five and vta met on sunday. but the union president told me that meeting only lasted about ten minutes. the sides just can't seem to meet in the middle in regard to some benefits, rules for arbitration and pay. vta is offering 9% over three years. atu is asking for 18% over the same period. the ball is kind of in the in the agency's court. i mean, you know, if they call us today, tomorrow, whatever we're willing to meet and possibly meet, you know, find some middle ground. the demands that they're making as they are now, we would not be able to offer the full service that our customers need. we would be risking having to make cuts to service and possibly cuts to jobs. and we just can't do that. now the striking workers got lots of honks of support while they were on the picket line today. they're hoping riders will join them and some elected leaders at a rally at 830 this morning at vta headquarters. that's on north

first street and river oaks. as of now, no new contract negotiations are scheduled and the strike will impact about 1000 users each day that it goes on. marcus. all right. thank you. chris. well, parents and students tonight will have a chance to sound off. this is following the recent violence at one north bay high school. last month. one stude was stabbed in class. this is at elsie allen high school in santa rosa. last week, police arrested another student allegedly carrying a loaded gun. district leaders will hold a listening session at the school library starting at 5 p.m. meantime, in danville, a teacher is recovering after police say they were attacked by a student. it happened inside a classroom during lunch yesterday at monta vista high school. the student was identified and removed from campus. the school is now cooperating with investigators. no update yet on the teacher's injuries, but the school is offering counseling services to students. president trump's right hand man, elon musk, is calling for the u.s. to cut entitlement programs. scott

mcgrew. that's something president trump said was off the table. absolutely. yeah. good morning to you. but it's where all the money is. marcus. budget cutters have long pointed out you can cut here. you can cut their foreign aid worker salaries. but if you really want to cut spending, cut social security and medicare. musk says those cuts will come through rooting out fraud. now, nobody is against rooting out fraud, but many point out much of the fraud that doge has found so far didn't turn out to be accurate. musk spoke with larry kudlow on fox business. i mean, the waste and fraud in entitlement spending, which is all of the which is most of the federal spending, is entitlements. so that that's that's like the big one to eliminate because that's the sort of half trillion maybe 6 or 700 billion a year. that is also a mechanism by which the democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants, by essentially paying them to come

here and then turning them into ters. now, illegal immigrants do not get social security benefits. musk told kudlow that his doge team was now about 100 people, and it was more or less in every department. now, he said he wanted to stick with his new doge job for at least a year. musk went online to call u.s. senator from arizona mark kelly a traitor. you can see it there at the bottom of the post. kelly traveled to ukraine, our ally. we've been supporting and wrote the u.s. must not make it a giveaway to putin. you're a traitor, musk responded. mark kelly is a u.s. combat combat veteran, former navy pilot, two distinguished navy crosses and former astronaut. he's been in the service since he was 22 years old. the wall street journal editorial board calling for president trump to end his tariff threats. remember, the journal is a conservative run newspaper with a conservative editorial board with roots in the murdoch family. president trump takes what it says pretty seriously, and canada continues

its response to its tariffs that we've placed against it. the head of the province of ontario. so that shares a border with minnesota all the way around to new york state, says the electricity that ontario generates and sends across the border to americans will go up in price. let me be clear. i will not hesitate to increase this charge if necessary. if the united states escalates, i will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely. believe me when i say i do not want to do this. i feel terrible for the american people because it's not the american people who started this trade war. it's one person who's responsible. that's president trump. secretary of state marco rubio is in saudi arabia for talks with ukraine. the first talks between the u.s. and ukraine since that infamous meeting in the white house. and the house is scheduled to take a

vote on continuing resolution that would keep the government open past friday. it is not a clean resolution, which just extends current spending. it cuts some programs, adds money. for others,t adds money to both medicare, which we were talking about earlier, and education, the department president trump wants to cut it even addresses cryptocurrency rules. democrats may oppose it for the cutting. some republicans may oppose it because it's not the budget that they were promised. marcus. all right, scott, thank you. let's all take a live look for you right now. this is san jose getting started with the day. meteorologist vianey arana has been monitoring what we can expect. nice and clear for us today, but tomorrow is when we need to gear up for that incoming rain. absolutely. take a look. right now at walnut creek. we're at 46 degrees, so temperatures are mild, but we will see a chahange, a dp in the temperatures, a kick up in the winds as this first storm makes its arrival. and then we settle into a series of storms that are

going to impact us for the remainder of the week. enjoy. today we're going to remain dry, but here's what we're looking at right to our north. and then notice right here to the south, we've got precipitation over la timing for this right now. the remainder of today will be dry overnight into early tomorrow. we'll start to see that rain move in, and that will include your morning commute. so be mindful of this because if you have to be out and about, those pockets of rain will intensify by tomorrow afteron with a chance for thunderstorms. we'll go into more detail on that coming up in a few minutes. mike. all right. vianey that's what's coming tomorrow. right now, what's coming is more traffic and more backup. the metering lights are active at the bay bridge. a pretty typical pattern. the slowest drive right now. a little congestion coming off the 880 overcrossing and heading to the far left. as you approach the toll plaza. that mini toll plaza there. highway 37 and highway four showing the only other sensor change outside of the green. smth flow right now. now let's talk about tonight because you will be reduced by half capacity. half capacity. westbound highway 24,

the caldecott westbound. the morning commute overnight lighter traffic flow from 10 p.m. to 4:30 a.m, reopening before tomorrow morning's commute. is doing scheduled maintenance there. you'll watch for the signage and of course, you'll be restricted to one westbound bore. right now we have some slowing in the build. typical for vasco road coming out of contra costa county. it's about 23 minutes from marsh creek road down to 580, where we still see a little slowing out of the altamont, but nothing more than that as far as the sensors change in the south bay. i want to call out this note. there's a sharks game at sap center, and normally we just talk about pedestrian traffic in the area. but remember, this will be impacted if folks take vta to get to the tank. you can't right now because no light rail or busses. kris just gave us the update. the second day of the strike continues. the paratransit does operate, but light rail and busses will not be an option to get to the sharks game as of right now. that's right. we just think about the morning commute. that's right. yeah, there's the fun times too. yeah. thank you mike. well, a school bus crash leaves more than a dozen people

hurt. next here on today in the bay. the investigation now into what went wrong. plus, i would like for girls to be more interested and excited in stem using ai to help prevent wildfires. the change. one south bay team's new app is already making. people flocking to the east bay foothills as the california wildflowers start to bloom. the people who live nearby who are not too happy with this annual celebration of spring.

and here is your day planner, san jose in the south bay. we've got temperatures in the 40s to start, but by 12:00, right around your lunch hour will still be in the 60s. although i do want to highlight, today will be the last day of the week at least to enjoy a bit of sunshine before a pretty decent storm moves in, bringing in rain and wind. full forecast coming up. and speaking of south bay, here we go. live. look for 101. we're picking up the volume. some more headlights here. a little bit of slowing. traditional from 680 up to oakland road on northbound 101. we'll show you the rest of your build. i see crossing the bay might be a little more congested coming up. developing this morning in new jersey, 13 people are in the hospital. one child critically injured after a school bus bound for new york overturned on the garden state

parkway. it happened last night in the town of montville. leaders say there were 31 people on board that bus, which ended up on its side. investigators are still trying to piece together how it happened. well, this morning, blooming wildflower flowers are leading to people fuming in the east bay. and it's all because the sight to see is drawing large crowds today in the bay's. bob redell joins us live in walnut creek this morning. and bob, how neighbors fighting back. well, good morning to you, marcus and laura. you know, each year around this time, hundreds of people flock to the shell ridge open space behind me here in walnut creek. and among these people are a lot of social media influencers. and they're here to take pictures of the beautiful california wildflowers that are blooming in the hills behind me that obviously bloom around this time in the spring. so people show u up on mountain bikes, they're lugging their camera equipment, but there's very limited parking here. at the

entrance to the open space on sutherland drive, which butts right up against a residential neighborhood. so these shutterbugs, they end up parking on the streets in front of people's homes. it becomes very crowded and disruptive for the people who live along sutherland drive. so to answer your question, how are neighbors fighting back? well, this past weekend, a local neighborhood group, they placed signs at shell ridge sutherland drive entrance trying to deter trying to prevent crowds from clogging their streets, especially on saturdays and sundays, unless they have a parking permit. walnut creek has 18 open space entrances and everybody uses this one, so we've had our streets completely piled with cars double parked, going in both directions we can't get to and from our homes because people are paused in the road. the head of one of the neighborhood associations says. in the past two years, drivers have clogged up the streets from the end of march to around may.

they've also blocked fire hydrants, mailboxes and, they say, prevented emergency vehicles and garbage trucks from getting through the area. reporting live here in walnut creek. bob redell today in the bay. kind of tough. go for the people that live around there. all right. thank you bob. well, a fiery protest in san francisco over budget cuts by the federal government. research is resistance. research is resistance. survival. now, hundreds rallied last night in yerba buena gardens. this is outside of a global conference for infectious disease specialists. the aids foundation organized the rally to support hiv research, which is now being targeted for millions of dollars in cuts. scientists say that those cuts are ending careers in nearly every field of research, and they fear that it could cost lives. viruses don't know borders, and viruses can spread from place to place, and disinvesting global public health, particularly regarding infectious diseases, is

extremely dangerous. now, similar protests have been taking place around the nation, including outside of health and human services in washington and the national weather service at harvard. this women's history month, we want to highlight the work of a local high school sophomore whose passion for technology is already making some history of its own. nihar shaikh is a sophomore at cupertino high, but a work around. i recently developed. in fact, an ai app is receiving recognition in the u.s. capitol building and among the world's largest technical professioional organizations. last year, huske created wildfire watch. it's an app that predicts wildfire intensity across the country, but it does it in a different way, combining social vulnerability data that measures how severely a community can be affected by wildfires. if a community is more socially vulnerable, then they need a lot more support in order to be able to bear the effects, like both

short term and long term, of wildfire disasters. so it's really, really important when creating an effective fire management plan that we take into consideration communities that have both high wildfire risk as well as high social vulnerability. her research is actually taking her to washington, d.c, next month to present at a conference on technologies for sustainability. but that's not all that's keeping her busy. she's a student ambassador at technovati, where she motivates other girls just like herself, to explore coding and ai. maybe it's because we don't feel a sense of belonging here, or it's not looked at by people around us as something that we should aspire to be, but i think it's a really interesting field, and there's a lot of cool and really impactful things that you can do with coding in ai in 2022. she also created ai for mri to diagnose brain tumors from mri scans. she's currently working as a researcher for a top university, developing

computational solutions to tackle illness and health care problems. can i add one more time that she's in high school? wow! haha. wow is all i can say. amazing. all right. wow for this one. to trinity for you this morning. one rapper hailing the sunshine state to be named billboard's woman of the year pearsall dolce. hey girl. you know, it's been a little minute since you and i have had a chat. how's it really? probably since like, your last ep. oh, the places you'll go. oh, wow. yeah, in a minute. yeah.n monday, shed billboard's 2025 woman of the year. she joins a list of iconic past recipients for that title, including karol g, lady gaga and taylor swift. now she's coming off of a hot streak as a winner of both a grammy and an naacp image award. last month, she actually became a second woman solo woman, that is, to win the grammy for best rap album. and i love that retro video. yeah, it's really cool to see her

performance. she is now, as i said, ask kendall, my daughter. what do they mean, doja cat? and she's like, no dog. she's a totally different, totally different person. i think the grammys kind of opened up to so many different people. i will share some music of hers with you. mike. thank you. so did you guys see her paris fashion week? look. oh, she was on point. i mean, flawless, and she's having a moment. absolutely a well-earned one. and, you know, her music brings a really nice feeling. it's from, you know, outward feelings to inward feelings like that anxiety song. yeah, that's a good one. have you heard that o? i have heard it. i just d didn't lien to the lyrics. i better listen, we're going to shake it in the back. but let's get to weather. yeah okay. getting anxiety now myself i like that anxiety, mike. it's going to it's going to be okay. i know it's going to rain, but i will make sure you guys are prepared for this rain. okay. mike, we've got temperatures in the 40s right now. very mild and satellite showcasing dry conditions just to our south, though we do have that precipitation already forming. and of course this is from a

system that is impacting los angeles and also parts of central california. we're keeping our eye to the pacific because we've got a secondary system that's going to impact us into the weekend. but when will the rain move in? this is at 6 a.m, so tomorrow morning's commute, it will start out in the north bay, calistoga, santa rosa light to moderate and then becoming more widespread by the time we get into the afternoon. where you see these yellow pockets here, this is around 330. there's enough instability in there associated with this cold front, and it's a colder storm that we could see some thunderstorm activity along with the possibility for hail. but i also want to note look at the mountaintops here, mount hamilton and some of our local ranges could see a wintry mix in some of those peaks. now winds also going to be a cause for concern, potential for power outages as always. and of course we've got to look out for the trees as well. this is at around 7 a.m, 20 plus miles per hour. but then it really ramps up. as that front passes through. we get these purple hues settling in there, a stronger wind gusts

upwards of 4050 plus could be possible, especially for some of those higher peaks there heading into tomorrow and thursday. now, looking ahead as we inch into thursday, we'll keep some scattered activity along with the chance for thunderstorms friday into saturday. it's going to remain scattered, but saturday is not going to be a complete washout. saturday. the rain is backing off a bit. however, sunday into monday we do watch out for that second system that's out in the pacific. that's going to bring a big impact once again to southern california. and if you look, that's going to bring a huge boost to the sierra snowpack. speaking of the sierra, let's talk about how much snow we've got thursday here. this is from that first system 30 plus inches for some of those higher peaks. and then if i advance this all the way till monday, look what happens to the snowpack there. 71in for kingvale 64 for kirkwood. we're talking about a really good boost to the pack and also dangerous driving conditions. so please be mindful. take that into consideration. starting

tomorrow especially is when we'll start to navigate from that rain to snow. so check before you go. now we do have the 7-day forecast. it is very active again on thursday. we'll keep an isolated thunderstorm. the heavier rain will be on wednesday. keynotes here friday more rain. mountain snow. saturday. brief break in between and then more rain by sunday evening into monday. all right, mike, how are those roads right now? they're fine. vianey tuesdays and wednesdays typically see more traffic volume. my concern is tomorrow with that rain coming in. vianey is talking about that and a higher volume of traffic. we have a potential for issues right now. the san mateo bridge, just seeing a build and not enough to yet show some slowing. we just saw the volume building. visually it's an issue, but coming off of 880, there's just a little through hayward. and that's not a bad build from the east bay. a light commute right now for that portion out of the tri-valley. south bay north 101 does show your typical slowing coming north, and that's the first burst that should ease up in about ten minutes. we do have a crash at highway 13 away from

24, but the commute toward the bay bridge and at the bay bridge, just filling in at the toll plaza. back to you. thanks, mike. happening now. doctors say pope francis is no longer in, quote, immediate danger. imminent danger that is, of death. now, they add that the 88 year old pope remains stable and has seen improvements in recent days. he was hospitalized nearly a month ago, this after being infected with double pneumonia. thursday will mark the 12th anniversary of pope francis's election as pontiff. fears of a new recession growing following the worst trading day of the year. all of this as more tariffs are set to take effect. ahead at 6:00. we're live in washington with a message to concerned americans from president trump and the white house. and don't forget nbc bay area streams 24/7. you can watch us whenever you like on roku or other streaming platforms. a lot more news ahead on this tuesday
