Late reverend cecil williams. And kari hall breaks down rising see levels. This is today in the bay. Thursday morning is here and so are we. Good morning to you. I am marcus washington. I am kris sanchez. Good morning, kari, you are tracking that forecast that continues to be pleasant if you like a little cloud cover. We do. I think a lot of people do, but every now and then you want a little sun, and we will see a repeat of yesterday where it could be slow to clear in some areas. Looking at temperatures, we are in the mid50s right now as we get started on the thursday morning, a light wind where our temperatures are going to reach into the mid and upper 60s. We will see a high of 71 in concord as well as fairfield. For the north bay, we are looking for upper 60s there. We will continue to have slightly warmer temperatures over the next few days, so i will have a look at that and ahead to the weekend. Mike, the local commute is calm right now . Yeah, around the bay, the edges seem just fine. Taking you to the north bay, leaving the area, thats where a crash has just been cleared. It was in the center divide. There was a little slowing, and it should sort itself out quickly. We will follow that. I80, a little slowing across the bay, and no problems in or out of San Francisco. Thanks, mike. A Major Company could soon resume writing policies. Allstate says the move could come. Ginger Conejero Saab is live, and we know folks have been having a hard time getting the homeowners policy . Reporter definitely. Allstate says they want the department of insurance to use catastrophic modeling when requesting rate increases from homeowners, and thats the use of computerized reports that simulate potential catastrophic events, and those could be used to justify rate increases. Allstate stopped writing new homeowner policies at the end of 2022 due to wildfire risk and the price of rebuilding homes, and they renewed policies but stopped writing new ones. A Company Representative indicated allstate is getting ready to resume writing new policies, and in a statement allstate sewed once Home Insurance rates fully reflect the cost of providing protection to consumers, well be able to offer Home Insurance policies to more californians with timely rate approvals. This morning the discussion will continue, and there will be a hearing in sacramento by the Hoover Commission to reflect on the states Home Insurance market. That will begin at 10 00. Speakers will be in attendance. That can be viewed virtually and open to public comment. And there will be a town hall at 4 00 this afternoon in hillsborough, and they are asking Insurance Companies to look at the mitigation, and that bill is headed to the Senate Appropriations committee for consideration. This is something a lot of homeowners are looking for, especially those looking for new policies. Ginger Conejero Saab for today in the bay. Thank you, ginger. 5 04 now. New and old members of the church is getting ready for the first Church Service without reverend cecil williams. Last night more than 60 current and ensemble members got together to grieve and rehearse songs, and the ensemble was his pride and joy and plan to honor him on sunday. Weigh all know why we are here. He made this Space Available for all of us. I could not be more thankful. Members say thousands of people have been part of the ensemble in its more than 60year history. No details yet about Funeral Services for the reverend williams, but when we get them we will let you know. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether american president s can face prosecution for things they did while in office. This comes amid the backdrop of trumps hushmoney case. Trump was not officially carrying out duties when trying to overturn bidens election victory. Oeufplt this is the moment we have been waiting for, because the motion that the former president filed in this case is a motion that if he succeeds with it on this appeal would end the prosecution. Now, it is unclear if the courts ruling in this case will affect a separate case against trump in which hes accused of handling the classified documents. A special Board Meeting comes tonight. Employees say the bad behavior included putting a workers desk on a rooftop, and he managed to get away with it because he was good friends with the School Superintendent and her husband. Turnage and her husband have not responded to any of the questions. She said she initiated two investigations, one on the overall situation in the department and the other looking at specific concerns reported by nbc bay area last week. She also said she voluntarily removed herself from the investigative proceeding. But two Board Members question whether the investigations will be independent given some of the complaints are against the superintendent herself. We asked the district several times who will be conducting the investigations and have not gotten an answer. Candice nguyen has been following up on this, and you can go to nbcbayarea. Com investigation for more. Continuing our climate week coverage and the impacts we are seeing here in the bay area, and many of us live in areas where its forecasted we will feel the impacts from the rising tides. Most of the population in california lives near the coast or bays and like the rest of the world the landscape is changing over the years due to rising see levels, now up about 10 centimeters since 1973. Some of the factors are ice loss in the arctic as well as the inland glaciers melting quickly and ice sheets that are also melting. Warmer temperatures lead to expansion, and another factor is extreme weather, stronger storms cause the water to come further inland, especially when combined with the king tides which happen in the winter due to the gravitational pull of the moon causing the tides to come up higher. Let me show you what future Sea Level Rise could look for us. By the year 2040, going up almost half of a foot. In 2060, another foot. By the year 2100, Sea Level Rise could cause places like the airport to be underwater and more frequent flooding around the bay. Imagine Something Like our king tides that we get now, and the king tides are most easily seen in the middle of the winter months, so december and even into january we see pretty high tides. You can also see them in july, late june and into july, but typically the highest high tides happen overnight when most of us are sleeping. Now, imagine those tides becoming somewhat more of the tidal range, and so now you have a water level set up higher than what we have now, and you are putting that wave activity on top of the higher water level. What that does is gives more opportunity for those waves to wash further into land and impact more people as well as infrastructure, homes and businesses. Where we live, where we recreate, where we go to the beach and restaurants and where we hang up along the waters edge is going to look very different. I am already starting to think about this. Our communities, and some are planning for it and for those of us who have homes in areas that are at risk, really need to start preparing now for the future inevitability. This new era of warmer air and temperatures could bring the storm surge issues, similar to what the gulf coast communities experience from Tropical Storm hurricanes. Check out climate week online, go to nbcbayarea. Com and look for the tabs at the top of the page. Lets check in with mike for a look at traffic. Kari knows, obviously, folks, we see the park and ride closed because of the water level. Over here, a roadside fire is reported, and that should be in the camera shot. I dont see a problem or disturbance and we dont see slowing in the area, and thats where its reported. Closer to 7 00, that will be a slower drive but right now very clear. Back to you. Thanks, mike. Across the nation, we will show you some changes your child could good thursday morning. Right now at 5 14, we are taking a live look outside in fremont. Its dark and early and temperatures are in the upper 50s. A little milder with a mostly cloudy sky. Those clouds will linger as those temperatures will be slow to warm up again today. It will be like yesterday, but we will talk about if theres changes in our weekend forecast coming up. And darker and then lighter, and look at the flow of traffic, and here we go out of richmond. I have another crash im tracking in the north bay. We will talk about i80 and the progress i hope to see in that chp report. Happy thursday morning to you. The white house today will announce a more than 6 billion grant to micron, the chipmaker. Micron will build factories in new york state and idaho. The bay area company, rubric, priced its shares yesterday at its ipo. Meta pulling the nasdaq lower after it said it was spending lots of money on ai, which will pull profits later. And you may recall meta was all in on the metaverse. Its still working on virtual reality, and in fact on the analyst call, Mark Zuckerberg said the company made good progress. And meta could benefit from a ban on tiktok. Facebook has a feature it calls reels, and you scroll through and the algorithm tries to match what you are interested in. I spoke to an analyst about the potential for youtube shorts. It wont show up as a financial in todays report, but if tiktok were to go away, youtube shorts might be a logical replacement . Absolutely. Yes, i imagine youtube shorts would be one of the primary benefits where a tiktok fan could materialized. I dont know youtube should bank on that happening. We know congress is fickle, but its certainly something to watch. We will be, next quarter and looking forward, its something we will Pay Attention to. It puts the companys value at 6. 5 billion. It waited quite sometime to go public, and Companies Like home depot use rubric to protect their data. More people wanted this ipo share than was possible to give them to, so i would expect i am not giving stock advice, but i would suspect it would be a big jump when they start trading. Yeah, silicon valley, ipos, that drives the blood of silicon valley. We will see how much champagne there is. New this morning, theres going to be a lot less sugar in school lunches. For the first time the usda is limiting added sugars to meals, and now lunches can have 10 of the total calories per week starting in 2027, and the plan also aims at trimming sodium in the meals. And then we are getting a look at the dream schools overall. The Princeton Review surveyed thousands of college applicants, and here are the top five. Can you get . Well, its on the screen now, but the first is harvard, and m. I. T. And then princeton, stanford and the university of michigan. Those have been the dream schools for quite sometime. Those are not the dream schools for everybody. The dream school is the school you want to go to and where you think you can apply, and thats been the conversation in our house. And also for a lot of parents those are not dream schools because oh, my god, right . Hopefully theres scholarships. Is it too late to get involved in fencing or gymnastics . Ask the full house mom. Hey rowing. It was a little cool when i walked out of the house this morning, kari. Yeah, nice and cool this morning. We are seeing a lot of clouds out there overhead, and this has been the case over the past couple of days. We are not going to see much clearing here. We will see the clouds linger throughout the morning and then the wind starts to pick up. Take a look at the trend in San Francisco. We do see the temperatures going from mid50s to upper 50s. Theres not a big range here, but notice the wind icons there between two and four. We will have gusty conditions. We will talk about that in just a bit. Lets get a look at the current temperatures now. 66, high temperatures heading for 66 in cupertino. 68 in martinez. In oakland today, 66 degrees. We will see low 60s for san mateo, upper 50s for daly city and half moon bay. San francisco in the lower 60s. Up to 60 in mill valley while in santa rosa it will be 68 degrees. Lets talk about the wind that will start to increase for parts of the north bay, the coastline and some of our hills and even in the valleys it will be breezy with the winds gusting possibly over 40 Miles Per Hour for today and then again tomorrow evening. You just want to take a little time before you head out and secure any items around the home that could get knocked over in high winds. We will also track a slight chance of rain tonight and throughout the day tomorrow as we are going to see a lot of clouds overhead. As far as how much raina few 0. 01 of an inch, so it rains for five minutes and then done for the rest of the day, and thats the kind of activity we will see. Theres a warming trend in san jose, as temperatures will make it into the upper 70s by next tuesday. This is the lowest point in the forecast with highs in the upper 60s. Mike, what is the update on i80 . I was just thinking, yeah, i could handle five minutes of rain. Looking at i80, no problem. No delays here at the bay bridge. We are tracking this travel east away from the bay bridge and over towards texas street. That crash is completely cleared from the roadway. The remaining slowdown is a distraction, but its counter commute. Your commute here at vasco at 580 out of the altamont pass. Coming up next on today in the bay, nbc bay area responds. You might be able to cut the cost of gassing up or charging up your car with new driving habits. I am chris chmura. I will show you how, next. And school is not yet out for summer but maybe the kids arent thinking ahead to the next school year, but we are here at nbc bay area and telemundo, because we want to make sure families can afford the backtoschool basics. We are collecting backpacks and other school supplies. Cash is king, of course, and you can drop donations at town can drop donations at town Country Village in did my legs shrink . I can move them. I mean, i knew Alaska Airlines premium class had extra legroom but this. This feels different. Okay. Crazy idea. On the count of 3. Im going to try and cross my. Ohhhhhhhhhhh boyy thats nice. Woooooo for the next couple of minutes i will sound like a backseat driver but it will be worth it. The Energy Department says people that floor it and brake hard waste 15 to 40 of their gas or ev juice. Its best to try and not drive like me when i was 16. Joseph is a car expert at edmonds. Com. Driving smoothly will help you the most. Even tesla, which made headlines rolling out its lurching and insane mode agrees on taking it easy. The manual tells owners to achieve maximum range, slow down driving and avoid frequent and rapid acceleration, and that goes with city streets and highways. For every 5 Miles Per Hour above 50 Miles Per Hour, its like paying an additional 22 cents a gallon for gasoline. When you are going faster than that, experts recommend using Cruise Control if its safe to. It can really improve efficiency. When we press on the petal with our feet, its inconsistent than doing it electronically. We rely on the herd immunity or force field to protect each other. The added Health Benefits we can all get from getting vaccinated and push immune boosts in infants. A crackdown on pro Palestinian Protesters, and we are live and can you see a camp tensions at College Campuses across the country. Ahead, a live report as protesters enter day four of camping out at uc berkeley. Donald trumps lawyers will be at the Supreme Court today arguing theres one person above the law. Draft day is here. What is the 49ers plans . We have the latest buzz coming from team headquarters. Dont you want to know . Yeah. This is today in the bay. Thanks for joining us on this thursday morning. I am kris sanchez. Laura garcia has the day off. I am marcus washington. Our temperatures for much of the bay area in the 50s as you get this thursday started. We are at 56 in san jose, and 52 in livermore. In the north bay, 50 degrees in santa rosa. As you are stepping out in hayward, its 57 and mostly cloudy. We will see peeks of sunshine around 8 00 to 9 00, and throughout much of the day. This is basically a repeat of yesterday. Dublin, 66 for a high temperature. Morgan hill, 68 degrees. 62 in san mateo. Overall, this is cool for this time of year. We will gradually warm up heading into next week. We will talk about that and weekend events going on as well. Mike, you have a problem reported on the bay bridge . Yeah, theres the light for the tunnel towards Treasure Island, and theres a report of a disabled vehicle blocking one lane in the tunnel area. I dont see any slowing on the camera, which is great, because sometimes we see a big backup forming quickly. The sensors are slowing. The volume is probably what is at play there, but, again, a disabled vehicle near the offramp could be an issue for a few minutes. The metering lights could turn on in a second, and that would not be unusual. There could be something going on west 580, your commute in through livermore. We will check that. The u. S. Supreme court is going to hear arguments today over president ial immunity. Scott mcgrew, donald trump says in order for a president to uphold the nations law, he needs to be able to break them without fear of prosecution. Some are more equal than others, they will argue. Its an unusual argument trumps lawyers will bring, and trump wanted to be there but he cannot because hes due in new york accused of breaking laws there. The Supreme Court will listen to the immunity arguments today and its hopeful they will deliver a decision quickly, hopefully in june.
