things. but we want to make sure people know about this. yes. let's look over here at some video we have from the weekend. this is along 680. you can tell because of the color of the tape. no, you can't. this is 680 because i'm telling you that's what's going on. when they had their work going on between al costa and 580, actually both directions were impacted by the southbound resurfacing work going on. so that is a continued project. and we'll keep telling you when there are lane closures. the freeway was open, but it was congested throughout the entire area because of those lane restrictions. now, another section was highway 37 that was fully closed eastbound. the second weekend. we've had this. you can see the water there between mare island and sears point is where that was going on. they've resurfaced it. they still have to restripe it. so even though eastbound highway 37 opened just minutes before 5 a.m, when it was scheduled, let's look at the map. we'll talk about overnight work going on. both directions are susceptible, but it's likely mostly going to be on the eastbound direction. they have to do striping work after they repaved it, and that's overnight. so you'll have some alternating lane closures. that's scheduled again to clear by the morning commute. but

there will be restrictions overnight. right now this morning we do have the bill typical out of the area of vallejo and in towards sears point, as we're talking about westbound with the typical slowing same bill for highway for the bay bridge toll plaza. carry that's not a surprise. in fact, we have a pretty predictable pattern. the only thing that's surprising is there's no major drama. okay there's no drama in the weather department either. we're starting out clear temperatures in the low 50s, and it's also a light wind out there. looking at martinez, we have a wind coming in at about eight miles per hour. it's 52 degrees. and also mostly sunny. and we're going to continue to see sunshine throughout the day. really nice trend there. upper 60s at 11:00 and at noon. we're at 72 degrees and mid 70s as we go into the early afternoon, eventually reaching a high of 78 degrees. we'll see a high of 75 in mountain view and 69 in san mateo. in napa today, 78 degrees. now it does get slightly warmer for tomorrow, so we'll take a look at those temperatures and a look ahead to

hour, drew? well, good morning, laura. news of this crash started to spread throughout the day yesterday, and the death of race-i was finally confirmed overnight. the implications could be far reaching as the death comes at a key moment in the middle east. breaking overnight. no signs of life in a helicopter crash carrying iranian president ebrahim raisi, according to iranian state media monday morning, the president was returning from a visit to the iranian border with azerbaijan with a government delegation, including the foreign minister. when the helicopter he was traveling in made a crash landing, killing nine passengers. they were commemorating the inauguration of a dam just 375 miles from the country's capital, tehran, this morning. twisted metal the charred remains of a helicopter, its partially intact tail and bodies of the deceased are all that remains. at least 40 crews have been deployed to the area, including drones and search dogs, the nation's interior minister says restricted

visibility due to poor weather is believed to be the cause of the crash. the iranian cabinet held an emergency meeting on monday following the announcement of rice's death, according to iranian state media. the chair where rice usually sits during cabinet meetings was vacant, draped with a black sash with a picture of him next to it, according to a photo shared by state media. mohammad mokhber, the 68 year old first vice president, is now interim president, appointed by ayatollah khamenei. according to the iranian constitution, a new president must be elected within 50 days. iran announcing five days of mourning for president raisi, he will be buried tomorrow. during a press conference sunday, senate majority leader chuck schumer reacting to the news so i've just spoken to the intelligence authorities at this point that there is no evidence of foul play, white house officials confirming yesterday that president biden is being updated on the situation. now, condolences have been coming in from some leaders around the

providing much easier access for peninsula commuters. today in the bay ginger conejero saab live for us in san francisco and ginger. this project is set to get some big funding. that's right. marcus, good morning to you. let's revisit this project. it's called the portal and it will extend caltrain rail line, which currently ends on fourth and king street here in the city into salesforce transit center, which is more in the heart of downtown san francisco. now, the transit center has been up and running for years now, but below the street level bus concourse is another massive structure that was built to accommodate trains. trains that cannot yet get there. that's where this project, led by the transbay joint powers authority, steps in. it recently got an over $3 billion boost from the federal government, the head of the agency recently shared. the portal is now in the engineering phase of the capital investment grant, meaning nearly half of the $8 billion price tag would

be funded. now let's take a look at some video here. this is animation from the transbay joint powers authority. you can see how the trains will go underground. then it will turn under second street and eventually arrive at the transit center under natoma and minnie streets. it is not a long stretch that would be connected, but the price tag has ballooned over the years. unfortunately, that number will continue to climb the longer it takes to get this project started. the agency is still short about 2 to $3 billion today. however, federal, state and regional leaders are celebrating the progress moving forward with the portal. they will have a press conference and a bit of a celebration later at 11 this morning at the transit center. also when this project is completed or is expected to be completed, which is not until years from now, it is also expected to connect northern and southern california with that high speed rail project. not until 2032, possibly, but that is a bigger vision for the

state. so exciting things that we're moving one step closer to marcus, one step closer to getting places easier and faster will be a little bit older to. all right. thanks, ginger. they take walkers on that high speed train all right, we'll see. hey, let's take a live look outside right now. we can move all around taking a look in san jose. a little cooler this weekend. although it was very pleasant. carrie it was nice. and once that wind kicked up, it got really windy during the evening. so we're going to see that same pattern continue. but we're also going to be just a touch warmer over the next couple of days. our valleys will see high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s for tomorrow, and then it cools down in time for the memorial day weekend. and those temperatures feeling much nicer in santa rosa at 9:00. we're in the upper 50s. we're headed to the upper 70s for today. we'll reach that high temperature right at about 3 to 4:00 today, and then start to see those temperatures coming back down. it's going to be a

nice one. we'll talk about that gradual warm up in a few minutes. mike has a look at hopefully some cooling numbers at the gas pump. you know we're no longer on the best of list for the state carry, but that's because folks, the rest of the state's actually dropping quicker. and maybe more dramatically than we are here. but the best from hayward is still 455 at our stores on hesperian boulevard. i've seen a number of places with their price point dropping even over the weekend. sunnyvale has 469 at national petroleum on old san francisco road and in the north bay. the bottom number here, mill valley, has the best of 475 at arco on redwood highway. of course, you can report these in your neighborhood, or you can retrieve them on gasbuddy.com on the roadways. right now, we're looking at a pretty smooth flow of traffic. a typical pattern as far as the building goes, but i have to correct this. highway 37 did reopen eastbound from the weekend closure, but tonight westbound, the entire westbound direction is scheduled to close for striping work. it looks like they're doing alternating lane roadway closures for the full freeway. so tonight westbound.

westbound for the next couple of nights. eastbound will be in the future. and we're looking at the bay bridge. the current is the backup back to you. wow. that says monday morning right there it is. we're speaking of that commute, mike, for the first time in months, highway one is open again ahead for you this morning on today in the bay. we're going to tell you the difference it's already making for businesses forced to wait out a long closure, a local tech company says a computerized voice doesn't sound like a certain someone. it's not her, they say. sure sounds like it, though. let's take you out to the futures. the dow will open above 40,000 for the first time in all of history today. wow. plus, you can make a positive difference in the life of a rescue dog. keep it here. we're going to tell you all about it. look at

direction. overall, oakland looks great. there is a backup, a weird pattern at the bay bridge toll plaza, and i see some more slowing. there may be a crash on the east shore freeway. well good morning, very happy monday to you. the dow industrials this morning will open above 40,000 for the first time in history because on friday they closed above 40,000 for the first time in history. is the dow the most important measure of the market? no is it noteworthy? oh heck yes. nvidia reports profits this week. bloomberg reports apple is going to give you more credit for your old phone. if you buy a new one. the promotion will last two weeks. no new iphones are selling all that well, not as like they used to. people are just satisfied with the phones they have and it's hit apple's bottom line. over the weekend, blue origin launched six passengers into a short hop into space, notable because blue origin had been grounded for quite some time after an unmanned launch went awry. this

that. it's great weather this morning, and there's just a little bit of dampness on the grass. or the dog is like, oh, i'm going to stay over here on the sidewalk. we're going to have some clear skies throughout the day, things drying out, but also a lot of pollen floating through the air. olive trees are high. grass is moderate. everything else is fairly, has a sneezing. as we're trying to enjoy this beautiful weather and we're looking at temperatures today just a little bit above what's average for this date. now in santa rosa for this day, we're usually up to about 76 degrees, but we're expecting a high of 79. you can see what we're going to forecast for today. san francisco slightly above average. and in oakland 73 is above the average high of 68. so we're also going to see some warmer than normal temperatures for today. but then again tomorrow it's going to be even warmer. not expected to set any records. but we're up to 84 in santa rosa. while san francisco will see a high of 71. and we're in the low 80s from

fremont to san jose to san martin, and then upper 80s for fairfield tomorrow, and then a slight cool down for wednesday. and that will be the trend through the rest of the week as we get a couple of storm systems moving into the pacific northwest. we're not going to see any of that rain, but we will definitely have a cool down as high pressure builds to the south and those storm systems move to our north, that's going to give us a very strong wind flow coming off of the ocean, and that's going to bring down those temperatures for the weekend. so take a look at walnut creek out ten days, going from low 80s tomorrow to only mid 60 on saturday. that is a big cool down that we don't often see for the memorial day weekend, so make some plans to get outside. it's going to be great with mostly sunny sky throughout the week and temperatures going once again from the peak on tomorrow in the low 80s inland to upper 60s for the weekend, and san francisco will reach a high of 70 tomorrow, but only 59 on

saturday. mike, you're looking closely at that bay bridge backup. and, carrie, we're looking over here toward the bay bridge where we had some unusual patterning for the lanes there. everything cleared up, so no need to show the backup. now. we just want to show you the approach and some more slowing because there's another issue on the approach. it's farther back, i know, but it's the slowing through. richmond now the build here is right near a crash. wanted to let you know the crash is actually going that way toward the richmond bridge, eastbound 580 off the central and off of the east shore freeway. so that is an issue just on the side of the roadway. and it's not your main commute through the area. rest of your commute is nice. back to you guys. thanks, mike. it is 622 right now. south bay native punches his tickets to the olympics for a third time. up next meet a table tennis star as he prepares for paris and the early taste of top mpetition thatco

crash kills the president of iran. new details overnight in reaction from iranian americans here in the bay area. a police shooting leaves residents in san jose out of their homes late into the night. an update on the developing situation and the suspect's condition. plus up in flames, the overnight fire ripping through a building in the south bay. what may have been the cause? this is today in the bay good monday morning, 630 right now. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia and i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at that forecast for you this morning. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect across the bay area this morning. not looking bad at all. not bad at all. we had some beautiful weather over the weekend and that continues today. it will be slightly warmer over the next few days, but only a few of us will really notice the difference as we take a look at our highs. our morning

start in the low 50s and then our high temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s for the east bay and the south bay, up to 79. in santa rosa, san francisco, 68 degrees. and we'll bring it up a few degrees for the interior valleys for tomorrow. fairfield up to 87 degrees, while san jose will be in the lower 80s. i'll have more on the forecast coming up in a few minutes. well, new overnight a building fire in san jose is under investigation. it all started a little after midnight at north fifth street. this is near jackson and japantown. this is a building that was under renovation. firefighters had to actually cut a hole in the roof of that building in order for those flames to come out in them, to fight the flames. now, while the cause is under investigation, a captain with san jose fire says that the owners of that building tell them that they've actually experienced issues with unhoused people entering that building. in the past, they've had some issues with homeless people staying in the building or in camping in the area of the building. the possibility

exists, i don't know, but the possibility exists that they might be parted from track one. they might be part of that issue. as far as the source of the of the of the fire, i can't tell you that that's a legal certainty by any stretch of the imagination. so that's one of the theories that we're examining at this time. now, firefighters do tell us, tell us that that building was unoccupied at the time of the fire developing right now. a suspected gunman, police say, terrorized a south bay neighborhood is in the hospital this morning with life threatening injuries. today in the bay's kris sanchez joins us live at san jose police headquarters. and, chris, the quick response from san jose police, i understand, may have made all the difference here. you know, that suspect was still firing shots when officers arrived here at the scene where we moved since the last hour, but it is a very densely populated area. so had officers not arrived, who knows what could have happened? there are still people waiting to get back into their homes and this all started at 4:00 this afternoon. i want to show you the scene

here. there's still crime tape up around several parking lots. that's because these parking lots back up to an apartment complex. and police tell us that's where the shooting happened. it was in the area closer to those apartment s. now, in the video from yesterday, you can see investigators honing in on a gray minivan with flat tires and a broken window that was after suspects was shot by police. this is in the area of colmar drive and story road. now, this was about 4:00 in the afternoon yesterday when people called 911 to report hearing shots and according to the sdpd spokesman, the suspect was still firing those shots when officers arrived. it's a little concerning because they're both little girls and we're constantly taking walks and, it's a little alarming to know that that happened here. we did talk with neighbors who say they didn't know that man. some people who lived nearby were forced to stay away from their

homes late into the night. and as i mentioned just a few moments ago, there are still people who are waiting to go back home. some people stayed elsewhere for the night. so today the investigation will continue, not only by the san jose police department's internal affairs unit, but also the santa clara county district attorney's office, which is protocol when an officer is involved in a shooting. no officers were injured in this shooting. the suspect, though, does have life threatening injuries. in san jose, kris sanchez today in the bay had to be frightening for those neighbors around there. thanks chris for the very latest. well, breaking overnight, the country of iran appoints a new president. this is after its former president died in a helicopter crash over the weekend. today in the bay's bob redell joining us from the newsroom this morning. and, bob, how are local iranians actually reacting to this news? good morning, jim marcus. there's not much love lost for iranian president ibrahim raisi, who had been sanctioned by the united states over his involvement in the mass execution of thousands of political prisoners back in

1988. at the end of the iran-iraq war. within the past 24 hours, iran confirmed that raisi, along with the iranian foreign minister and two other dignitaries, were killed in a helicopter crash in foggy weather while traveling back from a visit to the iranian border with azerbaijan. we spoke with a man with a group called the iranian-american community of northern california. he tells us that iranians he spoken with are hopeful this crash could weaken the current regime and make way for change driven by the people. this is all because the iranian regime is afraid of the next nation wide uprising, which in no doubt is going to happen sooner or later. this guy was a murderer. he was a he was one of those people that was responsible for killing political prisoners. i don't think that many people are that sad. and maybe some people are a little happy inside. in iran,

the president is actually second in command, the country's supreme leader, the ayatollah khamenei, remains in control. president raisi was considered to be a possible successor successor to the supreme leader. iran's first vice president, mohammad mokhber. he's been named interim president. iranian law requires a presidential election be called within 50 days. khamenei says there will be no disruption to state affairs. marcus all right. thanks, bob. now, our team has been sending out updates about this story from the moment it broke. if you haven't already, make sure you download our free nbc bay area news app. well, new at six. the cargo ship involved in the baltimore bridge collapse is finally on the move. the operation started before dawn when tugboats pulled the ship back through the shipping channel at high tide, bringing it to port. six people died in march when the ship struck the francis scott key bridge. the ship became stuck in the wreckage. maryland's governor says the channel may reopen by

the end of the month. also new this morning, south lake tahoe residents will vote on a proposed vacancy tax come november. if given the green light, it would require residents to report that they are indeed living in their homes once a year. they would be subject to a tax if they live in their last less than half the year. it would cost $3,000. for the first year, the house sits empty and $6,000 for each year after that. some say this is just another tax for property owners, but the proposal supporters say it's a way to help boost the economy. if folks are only using their houses a couple times a year, they're not in those local businesses supporting local businesses, paying the sales tax that funds our city services. and so there needs to be an economic offset, say, if you're not going to be here full time, here's a way you can contribute to our economy. according to the 2022 census, 44% of homes in south lake tahoe sit vacant the majority of the

year. the measure is receiving some pushback on social media. if it passes the tax revenue could only be used for specified purposes, including housing, roads and transit. 638 for you this morning, as we take a live look out in san francisco, a beautiful start to the morning out there, meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect weather wise across the bay area. it's not bad at all. you know, i like getting up in the morning, walking outside and not having to wear a jacket. you mean at 2:00? 3 a.m? yeah. i don't wear a jacket. you know, look, my time outside is minimal, but, i mean, it's not too bad. yeah we're up early, so, you know, our temperatures are nice and cool to start as you're stepping out. it's in the low 50s in dublin and fremont. and we're in the upper 40s in san francisco. and we're going to see temperatures going from low 50s to we know it's going to warm up here in castro valley, going from 51 now to seeing those high temperatures in the mid 70s for today. and we're going to be slightly above average with our highs this

afternoon headed up to 80 in concord today, but mostly 70s elsewhere across the rest of the bay area. and mike, now you have a crash jamming up highway four. i do carry this is already expected to have a build here into pittsburgh, but it's worse because there are as many as three lanes blocked right now by a crash. there are injuries reported. i don't know how significant two vehicles have the traffic jammed up all the way back. now look, buchanan. major surface street seeing more traffic flow as well. once you get over to railroad then kirker pass road of course down to yvr ignacio valley road things are moving much more smoothly. it does keep concord and the walnut creek area moving smoother and lighter through pleasant hill as well, though now overnight we will have a closure of westbound 37. they doing striping work, but right now it's a pretty typical build there, as well as the rest of the bay. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. it is 640 right now. just into our newsroom. a key ruling for julian assange ahead on today in the bay, the impact it will have on his possible extradition to the united states and the top two candidates for president out

ha as it plunged down a cliff side. dramatic new video shows that rescue yesterday morning by first responders in the north bay. sonoma county deputies posted it on social media. a car went off highway one near jenner. rescuers were alerted by the cars crash notification system. teams found the car empty when they reached it. the victim was only found after scouring nearby terrain. they were airlifted to a nearby trauma center with injuries that are not yet known well. just into our newsroom, a legal victory for julian assange in his battle to fight extradition here to the us. that's where he's facing multiple spy charges. now, two uk judges are now granting him a new chance to appeal the extradition request. his attorneys argue that their client is at risk of losing his first amendment freedom of speech rights in a us federal court. now, that ruling likely extends the legal delays indefinitely. you may remember

15 years ago, american authorities say that assange helped former army intelligence analyst chelsea manning still military files wikileaks later published leaving lives at risk. well, president biden crisscrossed the nation sunday, campaigning in three key states, and donald trump got the endorsement of the national rifle association. scott mcgrew has the latest on this race to the white house. race is well underway. good morning, president biden was in georgia, michigan and pennsylvania all in the same day. in georgia. he spoke at the graduation at morehouse college. now we've talked before about the president's push to attract more black voters. and he faced the expected protests over israel and palestine. today, the president will celebrate jewish heritage month at the white house. former president trump was in dallas getting an endorsement from the nra. you may not recall when trump was first president. he was actually not that supportive of the nra, saying lawmakers were too scared of the gun lobby. before he was

president, he supported the assault weapons ban. many presidents changed their outlook based on evolving thought and politics. president obama was for quite some time against gay marriage. donald trump now very much supportive of the nra. trump will be back in court today. there will be more cross-examination of his former lawyer, michael cohen, then the defense takes over if they don't call trump to the stand. and i don't think they will, then the case could be in a jury's hand by the end of the week. it's possible by the end of the week, we'll know if a former president is also a felon or if trump beat the first of four criminal cases against him. speaking of courts, an extraordinary development as the prosecutor for the international criminal court, which we often refer to as the hague, accused benjamin netanyahu, the israeli defense secretary, as well, and three members of hamas with war crimes. here's the lead prosecutor that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and

minister of defense yoav galant bear criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed on the territory of the state of palestine from at least the 8th of october, 2023. the crimes include starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, willfully causing great suffering, serious injury to body or health, or cruel treatment, willful killing or murder, and intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population, as well as crimes against humanity of extermination and or murder. again, what you're seeing here is the lead prosecutor for the icc. the entire court has not yet agreed on these charges, but the prosecutor wants arrest warrants for benjamin netanyahu and one other israeli leader and

three hamas. and again, three hamas leaders also stand accused. but this sort of equivalency is an anathema to israel, which sees itself as fighting terror and the accusation of conducting an extermination has got to wound deeply. the icc will issue arrest warrants the same way it issued an arrest warrant for vladimir putin. a lot more coverage about this issue throughout the day, though. note neither israel nor the usa is a member of the icc, and netanyahu's office has not yet offered public reaction to that accusation. laura. all right. one will continue to follow. thank you. scott it is 647 right now, and may is women's health month. and advocates are highlighting the need for genetic testing as part of treatment plans. linsey livingston found out she had breast cancer back in 2019 after a lumpectomy and six weeks of radiation. she was made aware of the history of disease in her family. she took a genetic test testing positive for the brca one gene mutation. she underwent

a bilateral double mastectomy as a way to prevent breast cancer from reoccurring. surgeons also removed her ovaries and fallopian tubes to reduce her risk of ovarian cancer. livingston now advocates for genetic testing for women as a preventative measure. but what i appreciate about genetic tests is that it helps you to understand your predispositions and your hereditary risk, and it's just really important, especially in the black community, that we are discussing our family history. we are discussing our risk. we are having these conversations. livingston is the founder of the nonprofit survive her. the organization seeks to promote breast cancer awareness and provide support and resources to women diagnosed with a disease. professional basketball's newest star is talking today to today, that is. and she says that every day there is something new to learn. check it out. i think just learning day by day, that's

others, it's an annual event. they take part in. many of the top runners were from san francisco. it's always fun to see some things. yeah, that's all i'm going to say. all right. we're going to leave that one alone. but weather wise it was a chilly start. yes, it was cool in the morning i think yesterday we had some fog this morning. it is mostly clear. so we're already starting to see a few changes. and it's going to be a little bit warmer for us over the next couple of days. it's a clear start in san jose, and we do have some slightly warmer temperatures in the valleys expected for today and tomorrow, with highs in the mid to upper 80s. and then it comes back down in time for our memorial day holiday weekend. here's a live look at walnut creek as you get started this morning. nice and sunny. the sunshine continues today. we'll see temperatures going from upper 50s to upper 70s. a nice little quick warm up for the afternoon with a high temperature of 75 expected in dublin. hayward and fremont will

be in the mid 70s in san mateo, 69 degrees today, upper 60s for san francisco and for much of the north bay. it will be in the upper 70s. let's take it to tomorrow where we'll see a slight warm up mid to upper 80s for concord and fairfield, but most of us in the low 80s from the north bay to the south bay, even 81 tomorrow in mountain view. but then we'll start to see those temperatures coming down for wednesday. and continuing to cool as we go through the week. so what's happening here is we're seeing several storm systems moving into the pacific northwest right now. none of that rain makes it to us, but we will definitely get the cooler air coming down. a stronger ocean breeze. but we are looking good into the next several days as we take a look out. ten days in gilroy. no significant warm ups here. we're in the upper 70s tomorrow, but look at the weekend forecast. only highs in the mid 60s. yeah, we don't normally get that for the end of may, but it's going to be cooler than normal for a few days. this weekend after

hitting the warmest day tomorrow with low 80s in the valleys and then upper 60s for the weekend. and check out san francisco. we're going from 70 tomorrow to only 59 for a high temperature on saturday. mike, do you still have that big delay in cocoa county? we do this big one is highway four coming in toward me. we have traffic jammed up just about railroad avenue, i think just past railroad is where three lanes are still blocked by a two vehicle crash. i think two pickups. it's got things really jammed up. back to summersville, folks are taking buchanan as an alternate to get over to railroad, then trying to make that cut down to kirker, pass over and through walnut creek. everything else shows a pretty typical build over here. your maps over toward the bay bridge and across the richmond bridge down through the south bay, with a little slowing through the east bay, 880 through hayward, and a note that there will be a roadway work going on here. so again, landscaping work from 9 a.m. to possibly 430 today. and tomorrow. that could be an issue for folks heading south a little bit later than we typically see that lane closure. back to you.
