right now at six, one person is dead after an overnight crash on an east bay roadway. the shocking new details from a witness at the scene. sentencing day for the man who attacked nancy pelosis husband in their san francisco home. we're live with a possible prison time he faces. and why next week may be another critical moment in the criminal case, and a live look out at this may gray, you know,

have you ever wondered what makes the bay area coastline so foggy this time of year? well, meteorologist kari hall is actually going to take an in-depth look through the gloom. this is today in the bay area. and if you look through that gloom, you can see the weekend. it is friday morning for you want to say good morning to you? i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. we're going to check the morning commute with mike in just a little bit. but let's see if there's any gloom out there this morning. yeah start out cloudy again. it's missing and drizzling in san francisco. you can see it on the camera lens there as the temperature is now at 55 degrees. as you move away from the coastline, it's still cloudy. we all see that marine layer pushing across the bay area, which will cause our temperatures to warm up a lot more slowly. today and give us a nice and mild afternoon even after it clears. so right now we're at 52, in san rafael. it is 58 in san jose and 55 in san francisco. and we're going to see our trend warming up slowly because of the gradual clearing

of the sky, and will be at 71 in san jose eventually headed for 77 degrees and 75 in dublin. fremont, also 75 and 68, in san mateo. we'll talk about the weekend coming up in a few minutes. and, mike, you have a freeway closure right now. yeah. or at least that's the latest report from chp. they say all lanes of northbound 680 are still blocked by a crash and potentially debris. what's going on is they're waiting for a larger tow truck to pull a pickup. and the trailer with the boat on it that it was hauling north on 680, just around auto mall parkway. we've had this portion closed on the map sensors, at least for quite some time now, over a half an hour. but we're looking at no major backup approaching mission boulevard. so whatever the case, north 880 through fremont is fine. i think auto mall parkway joins in just past that crash. but again, those sensor reads are not specific to the foot. so we're going to track that update from chp. everything else shows a friday lighter build. but look at the san mateo bridge. oh just cleared. there are some flashing lights eastbound coming toward

the hayward side. not a lot of slowing, but i'm tracking that to back to you. all right, speaking of the east bay, mike, new overnight chp investigating a deadly crash there. this is along 580 in oakland. now, this is new video from that scene. this is near the grand avenue off ramp. investigators are telling us this happened a little after midnight. two vehicles crashing there along the eastbound lanes. one of those vehicles overturning near the center. divide at least one person killed. now, a witness says that she was speaking with her cousin nearby when that truck flipped. at least five times, hitting a pole. she says the accidents in that area are not uncommon. the traffic here is terrible. this is probably the fourth accident i've seen right here. someone is came off the freeway and hit her car. it's a fence that used to be here, but the fence is gone because people keep coming off the freeway and crashing into it. now at last check, all of those lanes have been opened there. this was at the eastbound ramp, grand avenue, this morning . laura. in just a few hours,

the man convicted of attacking paul pelosi is set to face sentencing. this marks the end of a year and a half court battle to put david depape behind bars. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab is live in san francisco, with more on what we expect to play out today. ginger good morning laura. prosecutors are asking for a 40 year sentence for david depape. attorneys say they want depape to serve a longer sentence than what is recommended by the us probation office, which recommends 25 years in prison. depape was convicted of breaking into the pelosi home in pacific heights here in san francisco, attempting to kidnap then speaker nancy pelosi and instead attacking her husband, paul pelosi. in the early morning hours of october 28th, 2022, just days before the midterm election, depape admitted during trial testimony that he broke into the pelosi home. he also acknowledged striking paul pelosi with a hammer after police showed up. that bloody attack on pelosi was captured on

police body cam footage. depape was convicted of the federal charges against him in november of last year, but he is also charged in state court with assault with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon . he has pleaded not guilty to those charges. now jury selection for the state case is expected to happen next week, may 22nd. we will continue to watch that case develop and unfold as we as well as as well as watching today's developments in the federal case, and we'll update you on air and online. laura. yeah it's been interesting to see how it all plays out, seeing that, you know, we were there the night when it all happened. all right. thank you very much, ginger. that's right. well, san francisco woman opening up after another woman attacked her from behind in a neighborhood corner store. now, we have to warn you, some of the video that we're about to show may be disturbing. now, the surveillance video shows kate ryken at her potrero hill neighborhood corner store on tuesday. see you there. waving there at the owner. and

then you see right here, this woman comes in in the darker sweatshirt, hitting her with that bag over the head, then started punching kate. kate says. we did find out that bag that she was hit right there actually has a liquor bottle inside. it all lasted less than 10s, but it really left ryken terrified when it happened on tuesday afternoon. i was afterwards. i was just in complete and total shock yesterday i was crazy angry and today i'm just completely overwhelmed. so we'll see what tomorrow brings. well, police later arrested the woman believed to be involved here. police plead. police say she pleaded not guilty yesterday to assault charges. now we have learned that she's also being held on a parole violation. well, just into our newsroom, a bizarre morning for the world's top golfer who police arrested ahead of the second round of the pga championship. it actually all started with a completely unrelated, deadly traffic accident near the tournament site in louisville, kentucky. this is the video of that

incident, which involved a shuttle bus transporting people to the event. the bus struck a pedestrian, forcing traffic to shut down. and here's where the story got a little strange. espn reports. number one ranked golfer scottie scheffler attempted to drive around a closure when officers tried to stop him. scheffler apparently ignored the order and ended up in handcuffs. police have now charged him with three misdemeanors a felony charge of assaulting a police officer as well. 606 for you this morning and if you know contra costa county fair, it is now up and running and there are some rules you need to be mindful of. so yesterday was opening night. teenagers are welcome, but you're going to need an adult to chaperon you. so there is this new chaperon policy there for the next few days. anyone 18 will need to have an accompanied person with them, an adult who's at least 25 years old. each chaperon can only have four minors with them. now. this is in response to a series of

fights between groups of teenagers at the fairgrounds last year. and a lot of people tell us that it is sad to see that they have to have chaperons now, but they understand why. that's crazy. all the kids in high school or school, they can't get dropped off no more and come by themselves. you know what? i think it's a pretty good idea. i know they had a little bit of problems last year, so i think it's better that they have more supervision now. the county fair isn't the only place that they've made those changes due to teenage brawls. last year, great america also instituted a chaperon policy. that's where anyone under the age of 18 will need a chaperon. it is 608 right now. taking a live look in san francisco, and a summer gets a little closer to the city by the bay. better be your chances of seeing fog. so brace for may gray june gloom no sky july and august. meteorologist kari hall explains why the city by the bay can get so gray. starting at this time of the year, we're settling into a pattern of coastal fog and cool

temperatures and inland sunshine, as well as warm weather and you may well know the cause of our microclimates are due in part to the proximity to the ocean, as well as the hilly terrain and the valleys. now the water at our coastline flows down from alaska and is very cold, averaging only at about 55 degrees. the marine layer of humid air is pushed over the water and to our coast and creates a breezy, chilly wind with that constant pacific high pressure pushing that moist air farther inland. and as temperatures in the valleys heat up, you get a wide range in temperatures as the fog lingers for most of the day. bottom line is to always keep a warm jacket handy all throughout the summer. now let's check in with mike for a look at this morning's commute. yeah, look, i got i got one section you're going to want to wait for. let's talk about gas prices real quickly though. another local listed in the ten best. so there are two now. both in livermore. both for 24. will shout out to fox see gasoline on

old first street today. that's the second. looking in the city of san jose. it's national petroleum with their best price of 469 on kiley street. that's the middle number we have here that's near spartan stadium. and if you're going to make a getaway through the north bay for 79 at vallejo's exxon on springs road, go ahead and check or report on gasbuddy.com for sharing out onto the roadways. we do have the one major issue. everything else is friday light but north 680 reports of lanes blocked here at just shy of auto mall parkway. as best i can tell, there's a crash involving a boat and a trailer and a pickup and three other vehicles, so we're watching for that. to use this reroute to get around mission to 880 to auto mall parkway. mind the surface street traffic speed limits back to you . thanks, mike. 610 right now helping more people make it in the bay. a head on today in the bay. the new community fridge that is rolling out in one neighborhood. we'll talk about the access. it's providing, no questions asked. i'm just saying don't drink out of the milk

and morgan hill. we're starting out with some mid 50s and a cloudy sky. as we go throughout the day, it's going to gradually clear up, but we're staying mostly in the 60s today and briefly touching the lower 70s. we'll get a look at our weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes, and we're looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, which is slowly filling in. this is a typical thing for a friday, right? lighter traffic flow. but i'm still tracking that crash, that major crash in fremont causing 680 northbound to have

lanes blocked. as you're traveling through fremont. well good morning. very happy friday to you, the european union taking a closer look at how meta's instagram entices kids to use it, accusing the company of creating an addictive product. now it's early days in the accusation san francisco's reddit made a deal with chatgpt to use reddit's data to teach itself the dao made history yesterday when it briefly broke through the 40,000 mark. in fact, watch it for yourself. nothing magic happens. it's just a nice round number and a new record. all indices hitting new records. this week, the government of china says it's going to start to buy real estate, including homes and apartments, to try to prop up property prices, and there will be no floor on how low mortgage rates can go. they're obviously having the opposite problem we are having. they got too many houses. a ceo, a former ceo, rather at walmart, warns the

company may have to deal with too many wealthy shoppers. that doesn't sound like a problem, but bill simon says with prices so high everywhere, the store is seeing rich people shopping at walmart, which is artificially driving up their sales numbers. and he warns that can't last forever. well, with all the ai talk, there's been sort of ignoring the previous trendy thing, which was remember the metaverse? apparently some people paid thousands of dollars to dolce and gabbana for a special clothes to wear in the universe. a couple of examples from their website, bloomberg says some of those buyers have filed suit in federal court, saying the company did not deliver those virtual bits of clothing on time, and there weren't many people in the metaverse to show them off to, and they think they were overcharged when they spent $6,000 on the purchase. the european patent agency just nominated this bay area company for its innovation award. laila makes 3d displays, no special glasses or equipment needed. looks like jarvis from iron man

ceo says it blows people away. the first time they see it. it's always wow, always 100, which makes the job really fun. it is super cool. so this has been simulated there. what you were seeing. but you know how if you put on a pair of stereo headphones, you're getting different sounds in each year? 3d always has worked the same way. you remember the blue and red glasses, right? right. you get a different image in each ear because you would filter it out or in each eye rather. and this works the same way, except it's pointing the video signals at each eye, just like headphones point stereo in your ears. crazy. yeah. interesting. all right. thanks guy. you bet. well, for some trying to just make it in the bay community organization is working to ensure everyone can put food on the table. a community refrigerator sits along hilton avenue in vallejo. it allows anyone to receive food, no questions asked, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. the refrigerator was created by the organization. the vallejo

project organizers say the anonymity helps people feel more comfortable just asking for help . but like many food banks in the bay area, it is in constant need. the community refrigerator is currently accepting donations of food, pet food and feminine feminine feminine hygiene products, as well as other supplies in san jose. efforts are also underway to keep one church stocked for community members in need. crossroads chapel volunteers say that since the pandemic, the number of families requesting help is now about 650. before then, it was just 80 due to a decrease in donations, the church says it's forced to offer less food than in previous years. if you want to donate to crossroads efforts, you can visit its website. well, happening this weekend celebrating 150 years of service, the city of mountain view fire department inviting the community to come celebrate them. it's holding a celebration on sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown mountain view. this is at the civic center plaza and

you'll actually be able to enjoy the parade. it's going to feature some vintage fire trucks there and a lot more for you. it's all going to start at 12:30 p.m. you can also check out the inflatable firehouse and meet sparky the dalmatian. very cool. all right, well, tomorrow the valkyries will be celebrating with fans team throwing a block party at thrive city to get fans excited for the wnba coming to the bay area. the event will include appearances from e-40, kehlani, p-lo and others. space is limited, though. it's first come, first serve and it starts at 2 p.m. cool. a lot of purple. i'm sure. violet, violet, we got to get that look. it's in the purple family, so i told you i'm an eight crayon kind of guy. so go back to that fire. that fire parade. yeah, to emcee that. oh, cool. that's what. yeah. off camera he was motioning i know, and i was like, oh, he's going to talk about to be a big shot. yeah. oh that's really cool

though. my hometown mountain view actually when i was a kid, firefighters helped save a majority of our house. that's right. yeah. so i've always indebted to their service. so i'll help them celebrate those vintage fire trucks. really cool stuff. that's cool. so make sure you show up 1230 on sunday. that's right. we've got a lot of things to do this weekend, carrie. you do? i'm going to help you plan with some other events going on as well. but i know you got to get to work this morning. so let's check out our commute in the peninsula. this is looking at palo alto highway 101. and there's not a whole lot happening here. looks friday light at this point. but we'll check in with mike. all right. so it's going to be cloudy over the next couple of hours into the at least 11 to 12:00. and a very gradual warm up here as we take a look at our trend, eventually we'll make it into the low to mid 70s here. upper 70s for san jose and los gatos and san martin today 73 degrees, while martinez will see a high of 75 and some of the warmest temperatures. we'll see will only be in the upper 70s. meanwhile, along the coastline will be in the low 60s. as you check out the 7-day forecast at

the bottom of this screen, there's not much of a change as we go toward the weekend into early next week. overall, temperatures spread out from cool 60s near the coast to upper 70s for the inland areas, and we have some very chilly weather for the giants game tonight. at first pitch, it's going to be 57 degrees. so you're wearing your hoodie. the scarf, the gloves, all of that stuff. it's also going to be breezy and the low clouds and fog rolling in, but definitely warmer for the south bay for the bay fc game starting out in the 70s and then dropping down to the low 60s. so for there, you might want just a light jacket or some long sleeves. and then we have the himalayan fair happening in berkeley both saturday and sunday, temperatures the same each day, starting out in the upper 50s with a few clouds but clearing out as we head for the mid 60s through the middle of the day and this beautiful weather extends into next week as well. our high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s, and just a touch warmer for the beginning to middle of next week. san francisco's holding steady with the low clouds and

fog and highs in the low 60s. mike now you have a new alert. yeah, it's friday light. like you said for most of the bay. but here, as one of our two alerts going on, this is eastbound 92 coming over to the hayward side. we had an issue. and then things started moving smoothly. but once emergency vehicles got there, they stopped all traffic. so they can address this issue over on the shoulder. so this is going on temporary. we're told that means chp does not imagine they're going to take much longer to clear this incident. but i'm tracking the impact because also the build on the westbound direction, distracted by the folks they can see clearly on the other side. so this is impacting the speed sensors on the san mateo bridge. the incident blocked eastbound 92. eastbound 80 for the dumbarton bridge is open for now in light traffic flows around the bay, so we'll watch that again. eastbound 92. avoid that for the time being. and then we're looking at north 680, which continues with this crash involving a boat on a trailer and a pickup truck blocking lanes of north 680 at altamont parkway are just shy of auto

mall parkway. back to you. good to know. thanks, mike. well, on the road to the paris olympics. up next on today in the bay, simone biles is set to lead an epic group. some of the nation's most decorated gymnasts at a huge event. what's at stake for them this weekend? and as we head to break, we want to remind you the giants take on the rockies tonight. you don't want to miss that. it's the start of a three game series over at oracle park. it's going to start at 7 p.m. and you can watch it right here on

steph, draymond, hopefully klay. so i can't wait for next season with the warriors. but there's going to come a time. and maybe it's in two years when my contract is up. maybe that's the time where it's time for me to move on and time for the warriors to seek new blood and new ideas. and we'll both know when that time comes. the entire interview with raj mathai can be found in the sports section of our website. kerr will be coaching his 11th season with the warriors, and he's already led the team to four championships. big part of that. you know, i always wonder when you have someone like them, greatness in his feel as a coach as well as a player. but as a coach, when do you say, okay, i think i'm done. you know, yeah, it might be hard. yeah. we'll see. so we'll be watching, of course. all right. it is 627 for you this morning. we've got a lot of head for you at 630, including facing his fate. we're going to tell you about that man who attacked nancy pelosi's husband with a hammer. well, just hours away from being

meteorologist kari hall. she's tracking where that system is

headed next. i want police clear protesters from an abandoned building at uc berkeley. arrests are made in the process. we're live at the school with new details on the charges and the promise made by activists. plus we are looking ahead to the return of beta breakers this weekend and the can't miss features that you should be looking out for in the bay area's craziest race you're watching today in the bay i was trying to look down at some of their customers. they didn't really have the costumes on in that one. sometimes they don't wear a lot of things either, right? hi good morning to you. i'm marcus washington, and i'm laura garcia. but we do begin with some breaking news. this is out of texas. at least four people are dead after severe storms swept through the houston area overnight. at times, winds exceeded 100mph. it toppled trees, leading to at least some of those deaths. nearly 1

million homes and businesses are without power, meteorologist kari hall, of course, been monitoring that. the big question is where is that storm heading now? yeah, the bulk of the storm has now pushed to the east. so we're seeing it for the florida panhandle and parts of mississippi and alabama. but we've seen a lot of those pictures on social media. we're checking in with friends and family in the houston area. and unfortunately, we're seeing another round of storms developing to just the west of there. so even though they're trying to clean up from those 100 mile per hour winds, we still have another two to possibly five inches of rainfall coming that way as we're seeing the rain redeveloping in that area. so that's going to definitely cause more concern for today. and we'll continue to monitor that as we take a live look outside. we are cloudy. it's going to be foggy in san francisco and along the coastline, temperatures in the low 50s and eventually clearing out with our highs in the low 60s. for the afternoon. we'll talk about all the many events going on around the bay area and the expected weather that's coming up in a few minutes. all right, carrie, thank you. well,

some pro-palestinian protesters are facing charges after they were arrested for illegally taking over a building owned by uc berkeley today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us from berkeley this morning. and, chris, this was a tense ending here. this was a very tense ending, marcus, fortunately, all peaceful right now. but there is a heavy security presence. at least a dozen security officers out here making sure that these protesters don't make it back. 12 of them can't, though, because they were arrested. here. i want to show you, as it was playing out last night, it was within about 24 hours of the protesters taking over the abandoned building owned by uc berkeley that berkeley police and other agencies shut down the streets nearby and moved in to make those arrests. the 12 people who were arrested now face charges of trespassing, vandalism and destruction of property, according to the university. these protesters are not affiliated with the on campus protests, which disbanded just a few days ago after the student protesters there and uc

berkeley officials reached an agreement. we talked with the berkeley man who lives nearby, who says he does not think that this is over. i think people are just the pro-palestinian protesters are just fed up at this point after after that many months. so they really want to just go all out. so it's just going to be might be a chaotic summer from. now he may be right . as the protesters were being disbanded and taken into custody, they were chanting we'll be back. so saying that to police and if they are back, we will be back as well at uc berkeley. kris sanchez. today in the bay. all right. certainly something we will follow, chris. thank you. in just a few hours, the man convicted of attacking paul pelosi is set to face sentencing. prosecutors are asking for 40 year sentence. for david depape. it is a sentence longer than the one recommended by the u.s. probation office, which recommends 25 years in prison. depape was convicted of breaking into the pelosi home in pacific heights in san

francisco, attempting to kidnap then speaker nancy pelosi. he attacked her husband, paul pelosi, with a hammer. he's also charged in state court with assault, with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. he has pleaded not guilty. well, good news if you're planning a getaway down the coast, all of highway one through big sur is opening again this morning after storms of late march triggered slides and forced closures lasting weeks. the reopening also comes a little early, more than a week sooner than initial projections. for the past two months, locals were relying on convoys twice a day to get in and out of that area. be aware if you're actually heading further south, an unrelated closure in the town of lucia remains intact, with no reopening date set just yet. 635 for you right now, i want you to lace up your running shoes and grab your best costume because san francisco, holding its annual bay to breakers race this sunday. and if you don't know what that is, well, let me just tell you about it. it's a seven mile course with costumes that

are pretty extravagant, some less thereof, but also it is going to start at the ferry building in the financial district and is going to end over at ocean beach. race coordinator coordinator kyle myers. he actually points out that runners have all kinds of ways to take part this year. we've got our elite race up front, our centipede division, which is 13 runners tied together. new for this year, is the relay two person relay. and we also have the braided breakers bonus, which is an extra three k, on the great highway version. and then what's not on here is we also have a corporate teams, division as well. you see, this takes place across the city, so there are some road closures we want to tell you about, including near the finish line that's starting today. closes near the start line, start at 7 p.m. tomorrow. all other race related closures will take effect at 6 a.m. on sunday. we should do that together sometime. i mean, i can do a solid five k, but. so maybe we need to do a relay. okay.

that's good. go exactly here. here's the time. what we're going to pass it to you right now. the marathon. that's like that's a lot. yeah. we're not at that level yet for seven mile runner. i'm not. all right. well, we do have some great weather for it starts out cool, which i know they like, but if you are wearing a costume, just a heads up that it may be misting and drizzling and it may get quite heavy after a while. so maybe that's the reason why people are almost wearing nothing by the finish line. we'll be in the mid 50s to start and then as we go throughout the day, only in the low 60s, a cool sunday in san francisco. but if you're looking for some warmer weather, head inland and antioch will be the contra costa county fair today. headed up for 80 degrees for a high upper 70s for saturday and low 80s on sunday with a lot of sunshine and just as fast as it warms up, it cools down in the evening. and then we also have the boogie music festival in downtown campbell both saturday and sunday. each

day the weather is looking pretty much the same with low 60s to start and sunshine throughout the day with highs in the low to mid 70s. really nice there. and then tonight you may kick off your weekend at the alameda county fairgrounds. the six two, six night market starts in the evening, and then as the sun sets, the temperatures drop into the upper 50s. and then looking at la this weekend, if you're going there hitting the road, we're going to see temperatures in the mid 60s for highs. kind of cool with a mix of sun and clouds and definitely a look like it looks like it's going to be a very nice weekend. mike, you've got some freeways opening and closing. yes. the good news is eastbound 92 reopened and traffic flowing smoothly, but a little bit slowly because there's still a disabled vehicle on the right side that's coming to the hayward side. westbound. there's a distraction, but there's nothing going on on the other side for 92, the san mateo bridge also better news. just seconds ago we got the word reopen north 680. so these sensors should light up soon. just as mission boulevard is building up, we should have relief heading north on 680

southbound. your commute into the south bay is fine. that's okay. right now, this. look ahead, though, this is the closing we're talking about. all but one lane will be closed south from al costa on 680 south down to the dublin interchange. that goes on starting tonight all the way through the weekend. so there will still be one lane open that there's going to be a lot of slowing south out of danville and san ramon down toward the dublin area. and east 37 will be closed all weekend as well. completely closed. so there's your alternate to get back to vallejo from novato. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. we are moving you forward into a new energy landscape. we have to continue to upgrade our grid, but designing it specifically for renewables next on today in the bay, the work solar experts are working on. as california and the nation hit a major milestone in solar power, president biden working on getting the black vote after polls show that he's weak in that area. let's go out to the big board this morning. yesterday we went over 40 k on

speech this weekend at morehouse college, a historically black college in atlanta. and today, he'll give a speech over at the national museum of african american history and culture. and scott, a sense of pattern here. there's a pattern, a strategy, right? because let's add to that. the president spent yesterday very, quite rightly, celebrating the 70th anniversary of brown versus the board of education, which ended separate but equal in u.s. schools. to be fair, the white house has been marking that anniversary for quite some time. yeah. here's a pattern, a strategy shift. president biden actively campaigning for the black vote after polls showed some black and latino americans are planning to vote for trump or vote. not at all. here's the head of the naacp at the white house on thursday. well, i don't accept the premise that there's

any erosion of black support. i believe that polls have proven itself to be untrue for the last four election cycles. what i do believe is we are in a crisis of our democracy. we must decide whether or not we're going to have a functioning democracy. that's representative of all of the citizens, or something less than that. no trump trial today. so that former president trump can attend his son baron's high school graduation will resume on monday. yesterday, so many republican members of congress showed up in new york. republican leaders on the hill in washington had to suspend some votes because they didn't have enough people. radical left wants president trump to simply go away. and if president trump just went away, this would all go away as well. they do not want him to be in this race. they know that he is the number one candidate for president of the united states. lauren boebert, social media quick to point out congresswoman boebert did not attend her own 18 year old son's trial in colorado for

theft, but she did attend attend trump's. back in washington, a house committee voted to find attorney general merrick garland in contempt for not turning over audio of an interview of president biden made by special counsel robert her. this is the interview in which biden seemed, in his description of it, to struggle, to remember details. now, we know that because there are transcripts of that interview and the special counsel published its report explaining why it didn't charge the president and her testified before congress back in march. so we heard all about her assessment that the president was an elderly man, his word with a poor memory. what we didn't get to hear was the actual audio or videotape of biden speaking, which biden's critics want their hands on, but they don't explain why or how the audio would tell them more than the transcript. they already have. now, yesterday in that committee criticizing garland for not releasing the audio, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene started

making fun of another congresswoman. eyelashes personal ad hominem attacks are not allowed in congress. democrat alexandria ocasio-cortez asked the greene's comments be removed from the official record. i do have a point of order, and i would like to move to take down miss greene's words. that is absolutely unacceptable. how dare you attack the physical appearance of another person? are your feelings hurt? her words down. 000 girl, baby girl. oh really? don't even play baby girl i don't think we are going to move and we're going to take your words down. i second that motion. the trial of democratic senator bob menendez continues. yesterday, jurors in the case got their first look at the actual gold bars and the money found in the menendez home. prosecutors say they were part of a bribery payment to the senator and his wife, laura. wow. always something interesting. thank you. scott. it is 646 right now. solar energy is helping to move the

bay area forward and the nation as well. the u.s. just hit 5 million solar installations, and we can take particular pride in that number right here in california, because we have the most solar capacity out of any state. san francisco actually has the most solar jobs of anywhere because of so many companies originating here. the bay area was so open to the idea early on. here's the head of the solar energy industries association. we installed one our first 1 in 1973, and then we took 40 years to get to a million, and we only took eight years to go from 1 million to 5 million. and so it's representative and indicative of just the rapid growth of solar in this country. she says that to keep moving forward, we need to pressure our leaders to update the grid to support renewable energy. and california needs to pair solar with storage . be sure to tune in to today in the bay. on tuesday, meteorologist cory hall is shining a light on the ups and

downs properties that owners face with solar panels. and for more stories like this, head to our website nbcbayarea.com and check out our climate in crisis page. well this weekend, a milestone for the santa cruz boardwalk, an iconic ride hitting the century mark. it's got your name all over it, mark. oh, i've been on it. you know, once they told me i was too tall to sit in the front because my legs are too long. yeah, yeah, believe it or not. so look, the giant dipper, you see. right there opened in 1924, 100 years ago. since then, more than 68 million people have taken on that ride. park workers say that they are really taking good care of that wooden coaster. they even hit that ride every day just to make sure it works. i'm glad of that. the boardwalk will be celebrating the historic coaster all summer long. visitors will be able to ride it for just $1 every wednesday

low 60s near the coast to upper 70s for the inland valleys. tomorrow in san jose, we're looking at a high of 78 degrees, and on sunday, also 78 for santa rosa. and if you're going to be watching the game tonight on nbc bay area or going to oracle park, you want to bundle up, you need a hoodie. the scarf, the gloves, all of that stuff. it's going to be chilly and windy as our temperatures come down to the mid 50s, but definitely warmer weather in san jose or santa clara for the bay fc game will be in the low 70s and then dropping down to the low 60s. and we also have the valkyrie's block party at the chase center tomorrow 2 to 6. it's going to be so much fun with a lot of sunshine, great weather to also enjoy the celebration of our new team. now we're also going to talk about the coastline because i know a lot of people want to head to the beach once those temperatures warm up. and you heard it here, that highway one is open going through big sur and farther south, it's going to

be in the low 60s for highs, and you may see a little bit of sunshine. i do think it's going to stay cloudy there and our temperatures will be in the mid 70s and warming up just slightly for the middle of next week. not a whole lot of changes here. we're starting out with some clouds and fog in san francisco. we'll see that continue throughout the weekend. and now mike, you still have that alert for the san mateo bridge? we do, but the backup mostly cleared for the eastbound direction. we still have a disabled vehicle blocking your far right lane. as you're traveling over to the hayward side. looks like another crew cleared. so we just have some flares and one vehicle still there. it's moving slowly, so that might be completely clearing. now westbound is building and also distracted. so there is more slowing in the westbound direction. you see it right there. not a major issue friday commute not a major issue. also not an issue anymore. this northbound closure is now just a little slowing. north on 680 up to auto mall parkway. the earlier crash is cleared out of the roadway, but there were six vehicles, including a trailer and a boat on that trailer, so there may still be activity over there as
