My kids start august 11th, so its coming up pretty fast. Were enjoying these last few days and also were looking at still a lot of fog near the coast. Our typical summertime pattern as we see our temperatures at noontime in palo alto at about 71 degrees. During the middle of the day some of us will reach into the low 90s. A lot of 70s for parts of the bay with san jose reaching into the low 80s. And then if you want to go out for a walk this evening its going to be nice as it starts to cool off. Well talk more about this and whats ahead. Mike, you still have the Traffic Alert . We do, kari. This is in the Santa Cruz Mountains. If youre heading to the santa cruz side you cannot make it.

Up and, kari, this Traffic Alert continues to close the southbound side of highway 17 near the Santa Cruz Mountains summit road area. Theyre looking at a half hour but i dont think it will be cleared by then. A hyoot was telling us about the republican plan for a stimulus that includes another 1,200 for some americans. I wanted to focus in on the unemployment part of it. This friday that extra unemployment, that 600 from the federal government, goes away. The new republican plan would replace that with a 200 a week check on top of what the states are paying. Rising to 70 of your previous wages once states can manage that data but never more than 500 a week. The democrats put together a competing plan, three times as expensive as what republicans have in mind. Neither plan includes the president s idea of a payroll tax cut. Now the argument over the extra 600 is fairly easy to understand. Republicans and others say it may discourage people from going back to work. After all, why would you take a job that pays less than unemployment . It wouldnt make economic sense. A brandnew study from yale shows, and they took a look at the data, most people actually would take the job figuring that a longterm yob is more steady income than unemployment which will run out eventually. The movie the tenet will hit International Theaters first before the united states. Weve talked about it before. Its become a symbol of hollywoods struggle with the pandemic.

Alaska, jetblue, rankings are based on the best policies to protect frequent flier problems. Disney is now changing its tune on the reopening dates for some of its resorts including disneyland.

Ever since i left the city youve got a reputation for yourself now that is definitelyadonna who has 38 songs on the top ten chart of the top 100. The hot 100 list there.

I was looking at that top ten list of artists and some big names there including my girl, janet jackson. Oh, yeah. Thats miss jackson. Well, our girl this morning is kari hall.

Were looking at a loop over the past 12 hours of lightning thats been developing around lake tahoe, up around the National Forest and further to the north weve seen it around the cascades and we had over the weekend our first lightning fatality in over five years. Unfortunately, a man was just getting on a jet ski in a reservoir and was struck by lightning. Really be careful and if you hear thunder, they were saying quickly move indoors. Thats always the plan especially over the mountainous areas where the lightning can pop up very quickly. Here in the bay area its been quiet. Weve had these temperatures that have been wide ranging anywhere from the low 60s near the coast to some mid80s for napa. Oakland, 72 degrees for the high today and were up to 90 in livermore. Antioch will reach 94 degrees. As we go through the forecast were going to see our temperatures in the today. And it comes down a couple degrees by the end of the week. As we go into the weekend a slight warmup but no extreme heat here. Mostly low 90s in San Francisco. We continue on with some fog each and every morning and some sunshine. A little bit of it for the afternoon. Were going to see our high temperatures staying in the 60s. And, mike, youve been tracking that Traffic Alert. How is it still have it, kari. I will start off with the bigger number of drivers, the bay bridge toll plaza. Stand by for the update on that alert as well.

This is a half hour after the lights were turned on yesterday. Still no metering lights. The map shows you no problems through Contra Costa County, alameda county. A simple, easy build as you expect. Looking to the south bay where the Silicon Valley moves great and heading down to santa cruz. Youll be forced to turn around if you were heading south in that direction. Do not do that.

Thanks so much for starting your morning right here with us. Im marcus washington. Laura is here as well, as well as mike and kari getting a look at whats going on. Lets get a look at the commute this morning, mike inouye standing by with a look at things out there. Mike . Marcus, we still have this Traffic Alert for the Santa Cruz Mountains. If youre heading out of Silicon Valley, hold off. Look at the map, its closed. Southbound 17 is closed to traffic flow as you head down past Redwood Estates. Redwood estates, the exit there, you are forced to turn around and go back through the area. A Traffic Alert for southbound traffic in the area and summit road is not accessible. There is an option but only for locals. Its tough getting through the windy roadway. The rest of the bay is clear. The toll plaza we do have metering lights turned on so the backup is there as well. Back to you. Thanks so much, mike. There is another bay area county that may be on the verge of being added to the States Coronavirus watch list and its for one particular reason. Today in the bays kris sanchez is joining us live now from menlo park with what this may mean for San Mateo County and, kris, is there a way to stay out of the list . Reporter well, it might be too late t is something that lags after the testing, so this is an infection rate so the folks who are infected are already infected. We just may not know theyre sick just yet. Take a look at this. On average 127 cases per 100,000 people in this county. To stay off the state watch list that has to be fewer than 100 cases per 100,000 people. Speaking with Governor Newsom in the Central Valley the state secretary of health and Human Services says californians there and here need to get even more serious about stopping the spread of covid19. Todays hospital numbers really came from infections weeks ago, so if we want the situation in the hospitals here in the Central Valley and throughout the state to improve, we need to do today, redouble down our efforts to improve our own behaviors. Reporter so for now San Mateo County is the only bay area county not on the state watch list which means the days could be limited for businesses offering Indoor Services like salons, gyms, and houses of worship. Statewide there are two bright spots. One is that the Positivity Rate is Holding Steady at 7. 5 . The other is that up there at a rate. People are still ending up in the icu, just not as many as quickly. Thats the bright spot. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. Kris, thank you for that. Now today Contra Costa County joins the list for citations. Anyone not properly socially distancing could have to pay up to 100. This is for businesses. They could be up to 1,000. It would be up to city and county officials to enforce the rules. Similar orders are in place in marin and napa counties. Sonoma county will vote for those fines next week. Supervisors are expected to vote on a proposal later today. And things will look a little different in downtown campbell starting today to help the struggling restaurants stay in business. For the next two weeks traffic will be closed on East Campbell avenue to allow more Outdoor Dining and allow restaurants to set up tables on the street. Happening tonight the giants will play their home opener at oracle park but there are concerns whether the already shortened baseball season should even continue now that 11 marlins players have tested positive for covid19. Today in the bays bob redell joins us live with what Major League Baseball is saying. We were so hopeful the games are finally starting up and now they could be shut down. Reporter and it hasnt even been a week. Commissioner manfred says the positive results among the marlins is not unexpected. This is not a nightmare scenario. He believes the protocols are still Strong Enough for all teams to continue to play ball during the shortened season. As you mentioned 11 miami players tested positive for result the marlins canceled last nights home opener. Some members of the team actually all members remain selfquarantined in philadelphia where they played the phillies on sunday. Theyre waiting for more test results to come in. The phillies, too, postponed its game against the yankees. The Giants Organization says it is following all protocols set forth by Major League Baseball but some giants fans say it seems too risky to continue. No need to be entertained so badly that Peoples Health is at risk. Just test it. Slow it down be figure it out. I think thats the right approach. Theyre smart. Let them figure it out. Theyre not going to do whats bad for them or the players. Reporter no fans will be in attendance at oracle park tonight. And like weve seen in other baseball parks like the coliseum in oakland across the bay, some seats will be filled with cardboard cutouts with fans photos posted on them. 6 45 first pitch against the padres. You can watch that on nbc sports bay area. Reporting live, bob redell, today in the bay. Bob, thank you. A slowdown on new housing projects in San Francisco could affect people just trying to make it in the bay. There is one bit of promising news for you this morning. In june only one developer received that green light to Start Construction on the first of six buildings to create more affordable housing. That would mean about 600 units on market and franklin streets. Most developers are saying due to covid19 and plummeting rent prices most housing projects wo wont start until 2021. All right, time to get a look at the forecast for you. 6 37 right now and, kari, your favorite part of the day, that sun rise behind you. And its a beautiful one. Were starting out all clear as we take walnut creek. And our temperatures are starting out cool. Now if you have work outside, yard work to do, get out there early especially in spots like walnut creek where it heats up later on this afternoon. Were excitemented about the giants back on tv tonight. Theyre going to have some great weather for the game, first pitch at 6 45. Itll be at about 64 degrees and continues to cool off from there. Well have a wide range in temperatures across the bay area from the low 60s to the upper 90s. Mike, how is it looking for the commute . Kari, i just got word that we have a picture of whats going on for highway 17, why its closed. Take a look. This is southbound 17 just north of the summit as you head southbound to the santa cruz side out of los gatos. The overturned rig. For folks unfamiliar with highway 17 there are two lanes but they are narrow. No one can get by safely. Thats why folks on the map are turned around south 17 at Redwood Estates. Thats the Traffic Alert. Theyre hoping to have the lanes open by 7 00. 6 40 is what i was told but its nowhere close to being done as far as i can hear. The rest of the bay is moving smoothly. A backup at the toll plaza. Back to you. Thanks, mike. A commune once in anguish still working to heal and overcome. Next on today in the bay the garlic gilroy festival one year later and were talking live with one man who has been helping victims since day one. Attorney general bill barr is supposed to be at the House Judiciary Committee meeting this morning where he will face some tough questions. Ill give you a preview. Fresh off her new album release taylor swift making headlines again. The sentimental gift she gave to kobe bryants daughter coming up. Right now at 6 41 we take a live look outside in the south bay, its a cloudy start here but well see the skies clearing out within the next couple of hours and nice, warm weather for the afternoon. Were about where we should be. Well talk more about this and our microclimates in the forecast coming up. And the bay bridge toll plaza continues to fill in. The lanes are slowing. Still we see no movement for highway 17 and that Traffic Alert. Well talk about that coming up. One year later we look back. After a day of fun turns deadly. The bullets were just gone. Everyone was running and screaming. A gunman at the gilroy garlic festival. Three young lives would be taken and a commune left in pieces. My son was only 6. We look back, the recovery, the future, and where things stand now. But i know that god needed you more well, the city of gilroy is certainly focusing now on resiliency. And here with us this morning i county Deputy District Attorney. Hes been helping the community down there certainly deal with this tragedy since it happened. Thanks so much for joining us this morning. Thank you, thank you for having me. Oh, of course. We all, unfortunately, remember that day. I remember just kind of the shock instilled in the community but you went down and you helped set up a Family Assistance Center in gilroy. What did you do there . Really, what have you continued to do throughout the year . Right. As a Deputy District Attorney with the Santa Clara County District Attorneys Office we focused on helping the community to respond because thats whats so strong about gilroy is that its ability to respond together. So in the immediate aftermath of the festival, the District Attorneys Office in collaboration with a host of other agencies, Santa Clara County behavioral health, the american red cross, the fbi Victims Services division along with the school district, the city of gilroy, we set up the Family Assistance Center, a center where victims of the garlic festival could come to receive essentially wraparound services. Everything from individual counseling, victim advocacy, compensation for those who were injured, who had vendors, for example, who had lost goods and werent able to be compensated. For two weeks we set up this center to help the victims heal. It didnt just end there. Although we had two weeks of that center being open, the Victims Services unit at the d. A. s office continued to be pr present for the victims of the garlic festfestival. We wanted to help end gun violence. What we did is the first gun buyback in 25 years. It was a collaborative effort with the Gilroy Police department, the city of gilroy, the Morgan Hill Police department and the city of morgan hill where in december we took in 493 unwanted firearms. Even after that just about a month later on a sixmonth anniversary of the garlic festival shooting we opened up the Gilroy Strong Resiliency Center in gilroy. That is so amazing to see. It was such a collaborative effort not only responding to the needs of the community at that time but the Resiliency Center continues or what are you doing now . The Resiliency Center opened up in january of this year. Unlike the Family Assistance Center, its more permanent. Its a place where we understand that individuals who were there, victims, the community in general, it takes a long time to heal. Its not a couple of weeks, a couple of months. It could be longer than a year or so. And we are here for the Gilroy Strong Resiliency Center to help that healing, that wellness. Thats why it was set up. Its a permanent place in downtown gilroy. It was purposely selected because of that Healing Nature when you walked into the building and received services, individual, group counseling, victim advocacy, compensation, access to that as well through the statefunded program. And, again, it is a collaborative effort because thats what it is about. Exactly. It really is reflective, theyve been saying gilroy strong, but even the word resiliency as well shows how strong they are in that community. You are helping to put on a virtual memorial going on tonight. Absolutely right. We want the community to watch the live stream memorial event which is this evening at 5 15. We will be honoring those who lost their lives, honoring the victims, honoring the heroes who helped keep our Community Safe and honoring the community itself. Getting through this tragedy but also looking to the future, to the rising together out of this tragedy. Very much so. Adam flores from the Santa Clara County District Attorneys Office. Thanks for everything youre doing out there for the community and for joining us as well this morning. We have a series of stories and interviews remembering all of the victims and honoring the heroes also on nbcbayarea. Com. Its a day we will never forget. Just search gilroy strong. 6 48 right now. State democratic lawmakers say that they have a new plan in place to help californias economy get back on track. So lawmakers say the 100 billion stimulus plan will focus on future tax vouchers that would allow taxes to be prepaid at a slight discounst and help fund mass transit. They are considering adding on an extra 600 in benefits to help those who are unemployed. This is if another stimulus package is not approved by congress. 6 49 right now. A showdown in washington. Attorney general bill barr is supposed to face intense questioning this morning, squot. Supposed to. This would be an opportunity for the House Judiciary Committee to ask the attorney general what is going on. And theres such a long list. Everything from dismissing a u. S. Attorney who was investigating Rudy Giuliani to that bizarre situation where the Justice Department wants to drop the charges against Michael Flynn even though flynn admitted to it and then was convicted of a crime. Thats just two questions lawmakers and Many Americans have. Barr is scheduled to testify for the House Judiciary Committee today. Adding to the list of questions whats happening in portland and was the commutation of roger stones sentence in exchange for his silence . Now, notice were saying is scheduled to and is supposed to. Americas top Law Enforcement officer might not show up. Hes not shown up in the past. President trump was in North Carolina yesterday inspecting a lab thats contributing to the race for a vaccine. You see hes wearing a mask, something he was less willing to do in the past saying he didnt want to be photographed that way. He once again called for young people to protect their parents and grandparents. And an update for you in what is turning out to be a really odd story. You remember the president announced he was going to throw out the first pitch at a yankees game next month and then said, no, he wasnt. He was going to be too busy. The New York Times reports the yankees didnt know anything about this. They did have an open invitation for a president to throw out a pitch. Most teams do. But they didnt have a specific date. They have never heard that there was such a plan. President trump made that announcement about the first pitch an hour before dr. Anthony fauci appeared on the mound at a nationals game. Were watching whats happening in washington with the barr testimony. Well have a full report on the midday news. You can find me on twitter scottmcgrew. Thanks so much, scott. 6 51. An Outdoor Religious Service like this one may be coming to a park or beach near you. This gathering of 1,200 people happened sunday in a San Diego County beach. The organizer was shawn foyt, a christian musician. He also ran for a congressional seat near sacramento this year but lost. A similar event was held in redding recently. More are planned. Next up is los angeles next month, san diego and Shasta County officials condemned the event saying it put more people at risk of becoming infected.

Bryant posted on social media she is obsessed with the card gone a igan and the new album. A lot of folks are. Its certainly cardigan weather this morning. Starting out nice and cool this morning, kari. Yes, once again our typical summertime pattern and this is part of the reason why we have our influence of that marine air and the fog right over San Francisco right now. And its going to be quite soggy. Inland areas are clearing out as we check out our high temperatures today. Were up to 94 in antioch. One of our warmer temperatures. The hottest will be 99 degrees in ukiah today. Then you compare that to santa rosa where we get a bit of an ocean breeze and it will be in the upper 70s and low 80s for the south bay. Overall our weather pattern keeps our microclimates and wide range in temperatures.
