san francisco's busiest streets has some major potholes. the emergency work getting underway this morning and what commuters need to know. this is today in the bay good wednesday morning. thanks for making us a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington, i'm laura garcia, so let's start this morning with the breaking news that we've been following for you. it's shaping up to be a hectic morning commute, at least in the south bay. a big rig overturned on a critical connector ramp and the cleanup may take some time. today in the bay's bob redell live there at the scene. so, bob, this is where one on one meets 880 heading north in san jose, right? correct. good morning to marcus and laura. overnight, this big rig you can see behind me was loaded with strawberries. it overturned when the driver lost control. he's fine. but this happened on an northbound 101 connector to southbound 880, which is shut down. and because of the spillover to the other lane, the south northbound 880 connector to northbound 101 is also shut down. the issue is they're trying to get this big rig uprighted. the wrecker thought maybe they could do it by using the cables, but there's just too much weight in there. at least 40,000 pounds of strawberries. so as you can see, what they're going to have to do is they're going to have to offload the strawberries. that's going to take some time. then they'll get this big rig upright. i also spoke with caltrans. the barrels of sand that are on the center divide at the gore point there when you're, you know, driving those spilled. so they've got to refill those. so there's a bunch of things that have to happen before they reopen this. there is no estimated time of reopening. chp said it probably at least an hour caltrans indicate it could be longer than that. so again, this is going to impact people who are driving northbound 101 who are trying to get to 880 to the southbound direction. and of course, people going northbound, 880 trying to get to northbound 101. again, both connector ramps are shut down and it could be at least an hour if not longer, before these are reopened. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell today in the bay. all right, bob, thanks. all right, so let's head over to mike inouye. he's been watching this as well. it's been a problem all morning long. they've got a lot of cleanup to do out there. to how the workarounds looking, you know, the workarounds are moving well in fact. so north 101 this is farther south just north of our camera shot. things are getting really congested. i think some folks may have already started to reroute, given the fact that we've been covering it since the beginning of our broadcast. actually, before our broadcast. so here's where our camera is. you see the green sensors north 101 just north of that six 8280 interchange. you saw overhead, folks i believe are taking 680 north to get around the scene, perhaps joining up and cutting over auto mall or mission boulevard if they're taking 880 through the east bay, if you're taking 101, you can take 280 itself to downtown, take 87 north past the airport, and it's still not showing any slowing yet 101 is the only slowdown we have unusually slow in the early drive, but right now it's about standard because this connector continues to be closed. that bob was talking about north 101 to north 880 continues to be closed until they can clear that rig, and that won't be for a while. you saw them offloading all the strawberries. no injuries, just a major headache for traffic in the south bay carry. fortunately, it's not raining down there. that would make it worse. yeah, it's all clear. we have a lot of sunshine. walnut creek waking up to a sunny sky and it's going to be warmer today. going from upper 50s at 8:00 to a noontime temperature of 76 and low 80s for the rest of the day. now you're going to notice that warm up that begins today, but it really ramps up tomorrow into friday. we're looking at highs for this afternoon up to 83 in napa, 77 in oakland. mountain view will be a high of 78 degrees there and upper 60s for san francisco. so we'll take a look at the rest of the week's forecast coming up in a few minutes. laura. marcus. thanks, carrie. well, new developments this morning out of the middle east, where israeli leaders are now saying that there's a new cease fire proposal on the table, a government insider telling nbc israel submitted the new proposal to mediators monday. it offers what's described as a sustainable calm, but not a complete end to the war as demanded by hamas. hamas leaders tell nbc that there is no new proposal. meanwhile israeli forces are moving for the first time into rafah city center. it comes after a weekend airstrike that killed dozens of palestinians in a refugee camp. well, developing right now, just south of the bay area, there is a manhunt underway for an escaped inmate. deputies say danielle lopez zavala escaped a little more than 24 hours ago from san benito county jail in hollister. the jail staff saw him jumping a barbed wire fence. some of his jail garb was later found discovered in an open field. it is believed he may have left the area by car. the sheriff calls him a known gang member with an extensive criminal history, who had not yet been sentenced for his latest crime. we don't have any reason to believe that he's going to go do anything specific in this community other than try to get away from it, the sheriff also blames the escape on a lack of staffing. he says he lacks the manpower to properly oversee video surveillance, and his team could not set up a perimeter after that escape. taking a live look in redwood city courthouse, where happening today, scott peterson's legal team resumes their attempt to win him a new criminal trial. peterson will appear virtually. he's now confined at mule creek state prison near sacramento, serving a life sentence in prison for the murder of his wife, laci, and their unborn son, connor. attorneys for la's innocence project, filed motions requesting new dna evidence on evidence that was gathered during the murder investigation. that includes a mattress found inside a burned out van near the peterson's home. our ginger conejero saab. following the latest developments, she'll join us with a live report in our next half hour. well, a live look for you this morning in new york city this is the manhattan federal courthouse, where jury deliberations are now set to begin in donald trump's historic hush money trial. now, jurors will have to weigh if he orchestrated a criminal conspiracy designed to influence the 2016 presidential election. today, in the bay's brie jackson live for us in washington this morning. and bree, do we know how soon those deliberations will get underway? good morning marcus. so they are expected to possibly start later this afternoon. what we do know is first, about an hour from now, judge juan merchan plans to spend some time giving jurors their instructions and then after that, deliberations are set to begin. did former president trump falsify business records in alleged hush money payments to adult film actress stormy daniels? is the question jurors will consider during closing arguments. the defense placed the blame on former trump attorney michael cohen, calling him the gloat the greatest liar of all time. if michael cohen is the mvp of liars, then donald trump was coach of the year. prosecutors argue former president trump orchestrated a criminal conspiracy to influence the 2016 election. he denies any wrongdoing. a lot of people are going to be very upset, but this is all election hunting election interfering for the first time, the biden campaign spoke outside the courthouse, sending a dire warning to voters of the unique, persistent and growing threat that donald trump poses to the american people and to our democracy, a concern echoed by actor robert de niro. he appeared in an ad for president biden and was joined by officers who helped protect the u.s. capitol on january 6th. i love this city. i don't want to destroy it. donald trump wants to destroy not only the city, but the country. and eventually he could destroy the world. trump's supporters blasted his political opponents and the cases against him. they're making a political mockery of this entire thing. there are real problems in america, and you are all out here covering this because joe biden is weak. he's pathetic. it will be up to a jury to decide trump's fate. and during jury deliberations, jurors will discuss the 34 counts of falsifying business records facing former president trump. marcus. all right. a lot to follow there. brie jackson in washington, brie. thank you. and trump is coming to the bay area soon in search of big money. he's scheduled to be in san francisco thursday, june six. he's set to attend a fundraiser held by cohost of the all in podcast. tickets start at $50,000, and vice

afternoon, but the same closure will be in effect tomorrow and friday. crews will be working on potholes and repaving and starting next week they'll be doing restriping, which will likely bring more lane closures. but in the end, run a lot smoother. smooth indeed. all right, let's take a live look out. smooth start to the morning there. meteorologist kari hall is looking at what we can expect. walnut creek here looking beautiful. look, it seems like throughout the bay area. it's a beautiful start. not no fog or anything like that. no fog whatsoever. but you know what that means. what? it's warming up quickly. yes it's going to be warmer this afternoon. we don't have that protective marine layer that keeps our temperatures from heating up very quickly throughout the morning into the afternoon. and the warmest days of the week will be tomorrow and friday. and as we go into early june, we'll have some summer like heat cranking up. but at least we do have the nice cool start to our day. we're in the mid to upper 50s right now with the light wind and sunshine in san jose. we're going to already be at 70 degrees at 11:00, and we're headed for the upper 70s today. not bad. it's not

here. we're going to show the continuing closure of northbound 101 to northbound 880. this connector ramp is closed because of this overturned rig. again we're just going to keep this live shot. but i'll show you the traffic in the area. it's actually lighter than you might expect. north 101 connector is blocked because of this overturned rig. everything else is moving smoothly. you can use

booster. remember they're reusable. meantime its competitor boeing continues to have all kinds of problems with its starliner rocket that will carry astronauts into space. remember, spacex sends astronauts into space all the time. boeing have a devil of a time getting its rocket right. they've had delay after delay trying to hunt down a helium leak. and then just this week, boeing said, you

implant using artificial intelligence to help a stroke survivor communicate in spanish and english. the patient is named pancho. he became severely paralyzed as a result of a stroke in early 2000. he couldn't articulate his words clearly, and he's also a native spanish speaker who learned english as an adult. pancho received the implant in 2019, and in 2021, it restored his ability to communicate, but only in english. the next year, scientists realized he had brain activity with each language and used the implant to decode spanish as well. isn't that fascinating? it's so cool, right? okay, that's a great use of ai. yes, we like that. we'll continue to follow that. all right, outside lands fans, get ready. the entire three day lineup is expected to be announced in just a matter of hours.

out there. and it's also clear this morning we can see the sunrise yesterday morning we were covered by a layer of clouds and we don't have that protective marine layer in that fog to keep our temperatures from heating up. so we're going to have warmer air moving in today with the peak of those temperatures developing for tomorrow into friday. some of our inland valleys are going to hit the low 90s. and then moving ahead, it looks like we're going to see another spike in temperatures for early june. so we'll get a look at that. we're enjoying a mild day san francisco and time for the giants game early in the afternoon. we'll start out in the upper 60s. a breezy wind and it does stay and very nice and sunny throughout the game. here's a look at our high temperature. so it's just a little warmer than it was yesterday. not bad though. we're up to 82 in san jose and 80 in cupertino. it won't be as windy as yesterday, but you will still get a breeze this evening in antioch. we're headed for a high of 8784 in livermore and 77 in hayward, as well as oakland. it'll also be in the upper 70s for redwood city, san mateo, 71 degrees, and san francisco up to 72. in the mission district, the outer sunset at a comfortable 69 degrees and upper 70s for mill valley will be in the mid 80s for much of the rest of the north bay. and then looking ahead, we are going to see a storm system moving into the pacific northwest. it gets so close, maybe even a little bit of some north bay rain early next week and that will help cool us off. but shortly after that we're going to see high pressure quickly building and ramping up the temperatures. this shows the climate prediction center's outlook for next week, and it does show well above normal temperatures all across the west. so we'll be bracing for that once again going into our first week of june. and our temperatures coming up to about 90 for the warmest inland spots tomorro
