Is blocked after the Supreme Court refuses to step in. A live report from washington with more on the overnight ruling. Plus, a new warning from east bay Health Officials. The restaurant where people may have been exposed to measles. Also, the symptoms you need to watch out for. And today is the first full day of spring. Meteorologist kari hall is tracking your midweek forecast. This is today in the bay. Hello, spring. Good wednesday morning. Its my favorite season. Now the rain is going to come. Im laura garcia. And im marcus washington. Of course well check on the roads in just a bit. Lets talk about spring. It is here, the first full day of school, youve got your new outfit on. Something bright. Its one of those days. Its going to be really nice outside. Weve been talking about rain coming back, we need that, too, to give us more of those beautiful spring flowers coming out. So were seeing a nice, clear view this morning as you get started in San Francisco. We are at 52 degrees. So a cool morning. But it will gradually start to warm up as we get more sunshine, and were headed for the low 60s here today. But as you look farther inland, were going to see those highs headed for the upper 60s and low 70s. Still pretty nice. Were going to see a high of 71 in san jose, 68 in martinez. Were going to be in the upper 60s for the north bay. And then looking at our temperatures tomorrow, still about the same, so still pretty nice, with a few of us reaching into the low 70s. But then by the end of the week those temperatures start dropping and thats going to be the trend for the weekend. Well talk more about that rain coming back. Mike, you have activity near the san mateo bridge. We do. Were looking toward the bridge itself. On the span, everything moves smoothly. On the peninsula side there was a crash that just cleared from 101, in the northbound direction there on the peninsula side. Then in the east bay, we did hear about a crash southbound 880 just past the interchange, so heading south past the span. It doesnt sound like there are any lanes block. Ill track that. All the bridges, a smooth drive. We do have in the south bay one incident cleared from northbound 680, there may be a disabled vehicle on 85. But the south bay flows smoothly and you have a much bigger issue that happened overnight. Sadly, new overnight a pedestrian is hit and killed on the freeway in the south bay. It happened about 9 30 last night on northbound 101 just south of mckee road in san jose. For a short time, at least two lanes were closed, but now theyre back open. This is the second incident in five days on south bay freeways to involve a pedestrian. This morning, a Health Warning from officials in the east bay after a potential measles exposure at a local restaurant. Today in the bays thom jensen is live for us in san leandro at sons of liberty. And, thom, this is where the exposures are being investigated. And as i understand, this happened a couple of weekends ago, right . Reporter thats right. Good morning, marcus and laura. And this is something that Health Officials had declared eliminated more than a quarter of a century ago, but it has been making a comeback in the u. S. After years of increasing, really, antivaxx nation sentiment here and the bay area is not immune from this measles comeback. Health Officials Say the exposures may have happened at the sons of liberty ale house restaurant on march 9th between the hours of 4 45 p. M. And 7 30 that same night. If you visited the restaurant, they want to hear from you, especially people who have not been vaccinated or who had children at the restaurant who are not vaccinated against measles, anyone who has a weakened immune system and pregnant women are also urged to see a doctor. The cdc says theres been a dramatic measles increase in the u. S. And globally. 58 cases so far this year in the united states. Thats equal to the entire number from all of the cases for the full year last year, a leading disease expert says Alameda County did the right thing of issuing the alert so people can watch for symptoms like fever, runny nose, sore throat and rashes. Were beginning to worry were going to use whats called elimination status in the united states, were having reluctance about vaccination and thats adding up to the measles cases. Its a combination of increasing rates of missing childhood vaccinations and then imported rates and then local transmission. Reporter you may remember about a week ago Uc Davis Medical Center had to contact and warn hundreds of people that may have been exposed to measles as a child with a confirmed case had visited an Emergency Room Department in sacramento. Most cases reported have been among children age 12 months and older, who had not received the vaccine. Its not available for children until after 12 months old. So this is a good recommendation. Measles was declared eliminated in the year 2000, but is making this comeback and the cdc is urging parents to have their children vaccinated. Were live in san leandro, thom jensen, today in the bay. Thom, thank you. A followup for you on that breaking news we followed all morning yesterday here on today in the bay. Thats where the wrongway crash in the macarthur maze that killed one driver and caused a huge traffic backup. The two injured suspects facing multiple charges. Investigators say they burglarized an el cerrito smoke shop in an overnight smashandgrab, driving the truck into the outlet store, stealing thousands of dollars in Tobacco Products and that led to a chase on interstate 80 and eventually the crash which happened on the 580 connecter ramp heading to the toll plaza. Now, the driver who died has not yet been identified. New developments this morning, the fight over a controversial texas Immigration Law, late last night a federal Appeals Court put a halt on the states plan to enforce the law and that happened hours after the u. S. Supreme court said the law would take effect. Clearly a lot to unpack. Lets check in with brie jackson live in washington this morning. The legal battle is really far from over. Reporter yes, thats right. Good morning, laura. So because that same Appeals Court that blocked the law last night will hear new arguments on the case later today, the white house is calling texas Immigration Law unconstitutional, while republican Texas Governor greg abbott is calling the Supreme Court ruling a positive development. The law is known as sb4 and a threejudge panel last night blocked it from taking effect. It allows local and state authorities to arrest migrants who cross the border illegally and also empowers state judges to deport people to mexico. But mexico is not required to accept any migrants, except mexicans, so its unclear where those deportees would go. Supreme Court Justices have agreed to allow it to be enforced, putting the ball back in the Appeals Court. Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently told nbc news the law does follow the constitution. What the constitution does, it gives authority to states to be able to act when the federal government refuses to act. Reporter the Biden Administration argues sb4 conflicts with federal Immigration Law and states have no authority to legislate immigration issues. And while arrests for illegal border crossings on the southern border hit record highs in december, they did fall by half in january. The order blocking sb4 will stay in effect until the Appeals Court considers its legality. A virtual hearing on that question is scheduled for this morning. Obviously one well be continuing to follow for quite some time. Thank you very much. Well, a new temporary leader is now in charge of the embattled South Bay School district following an abrupt firing of the district superintendent just six days ago. Late last night in a closed door session, alum rock bored members voted to appoint dr. Imee almazan as the new interim superintendent. She is currently the director of student services. It comes after the board abruptly fired Hilaria Bauer last tuesday. During a meeting, attendees were divided on the decision to fire bauer. The board president says her replacement will listen to parents needs, as well as focus on all schools. Shes been here for many years now, she has that relationship not just with our community, but also our staff. Shes trusted, shes a trusted leader, and she has already gotten us through some very difficult times. While some praised the change, others are angry over what they believe was a lack of transparency. Dr. Almazan takes over her new rule starting next week. Halfway through that workweek, and the first full day of spring as we take a live look outside overlooking San Francisco. Look at that moon in the distance. Competing with the trans america tower. The moon is setting and were able to see it this morning. Yesterday we had some low clouds and we still may see some clouds drifting around parts of the bay area. Looking at all of our cameras, were in the upper 40s and low 50s. It is 52 in oakland, one of the warmer spots. But were in the low 50s in san jose as well. And so were starting out with needing a jacket. Its a cool morning, but then as we go throughout the day, another gorgeous one with some very mild temperatures, well above normal. Were about 6 degrees above whats normal for this date in san jose with a high of 71, and were headed for the low 70s for much of the east bay. In antioch this afternoon, 74 degrees, and some upper 60s for fremont and hayward. About the same in palo alto, San Francisco 60s and upper 60s for the north bay. These numbers coming down slightly compared to what we had the last few days and that will be the trend going into the weekend. Well talk about cooler weather and rain in our weekend forecast later. Where can we find lower gas prices . I found one, an outlier below 4 bucks, san leandro, now on the ten best list in the state. This is over at u. S. Gas on washington avenue in san leandro. Second up, we have Santa Clara County and the city, 4. 37 at platinum gas on washington street. And the third price, santa clara beats out San Francisco only by a penny. Its 4 38 at 76 on valencia street. A look at the roadways, the roadways are moving smoothly. We want to point out the issue we saw on 85, southbound, theres a disabled vehicle that might be affecting the folks joining the freeway. Youll see the flashing lights and that will distract you at the offramp for union. No major issues coming into San Francisco not san jose, i put the wrong sign, its the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay bridge moves smoothly right now. Thanks, mike. 5 12 right now. Jetblue is switching up flights. Ahead on today in the bay, the routes being eliminated and the impact this will have on your next booking. In business and tech, we have both chips and guac, sadly no breakfast burrito. Its kind of condescending. Its an insult followed by a compliment. A new trend taking over the internet. The socalled short king summer. Its all ahead and the coffee its all ahead and the coffee giant is cashing in with a new you made a cow actually its a piggy bank. My inspiration to start saving. How about a more solid way to save . Im listening. Well, bmo helps get your savings habit into shape with a cash reward, every month you save. Both cash reward . And theres a cash bonus when you open a new Checking Account to get you started. Wow. Anything you cant do . mugs. Bmo good wednesday morning. It is 5 15. Lets get a look at our day planner in concord, starting out with some upper 40s. It will be a mostly clear morning. Then going into the afternoon, a few clouds in the mix, but its going to be very comfortable with highs near 70 degrees. We will have a cooling trend and eventually rain comes back, so well talk about that in your weekend plans in a few minutes. Right now 880 moves smoothly, great conditions. Here is oakland by the coliseum, headlights north past the high street highrise toward the bay bridge toll plaza. All having no problem along that stretch. Well, good morning. Very happy wednesday. The federal open markets committee wraps up its Interest Rate meeting today. We do expect them to do nothing. But what they say about that nothing could affect the market, so maybe well get some idea as to when rate cuts will come. Also, take a look at this price for chipotle, 2,797. Were going to talk about this later. Keep this number in mind, that it has a comma. Intel, meanwhile, the white house will announce later today an 8. 5 billion grant to the chipmaker to make chips in arizona. The president will make that announcement during a visit to chandler, arizona, just outside phoenix. Its the biggest grant yet under the bipartisan chips bill. We may have invented chips here in silicon valley, but most chips are now made overseas these days, and washington wants to fix that. Speaking of chips, the big nvidia conference continues today in san jose, all centered around ai. Nvidia started as a company to make chips and boards for researchers or for video gamers, but researchers figured out they could do the complex math they need to do. Whether thats advanced robotics, autonomous vehicles, whether thats ai agents or chatbots that are more intelligent, that increasingly understand human interactions and empathy, nvidia is using its technology and its capability and its Processing Power to bring applications to just about every industry. The ceo of nvidia delivered his keynote speech monday at the s. N. A. P. Center. A reporter for the wall street journal pointed out he attracted a bigger crowd than professional wrestling, certain more than the sharks. You remember the stock price for chipotle. Almost 2,800 a share. That high price makes it hard for the average investor to buy shares or a share, so chi bolt is planning a 50 1 stock split that will cut the price to 1 50th of the current price, people who own currently get 49 more shares. Its a lot like a pizza, you can cut it into a certain number of slices. You cut it into 50 slices, but as long as everyone gets the same, it doesnt matter. Its just smaller pieces. I didnt realize that stock was so high. Most people cannot invest 2,700 in a single share of stock. But cut it by 50 and youre good. Slicing up the burrito this morning. Exactly. Thanks, scott. New this morning, jetblue is reducing flights as it faces some financial struggles. It comes after a federal judge rejected the merger of jetblue with spirit airlines. Starting midjune, the airline will drop flights to seattle skpl miami and end flights between fort lauderdale, atlanta and detroit. Flights to south america are also being dropped. Trending this morning, dunkin is celebrating short king spring. Here is snl explaining for us. Its april, and that can only mean one thing, the celebration of short men that the internet has dubbed short king spring. So in honor of the season, dunkin is offering a drink called the short king that is a small iced coffee. Just remember the drink only lasts so long and you can only get the short king until tuesday. I had to look it up. Come on, now. Short king is a man 58 and under who has a great personality. Ive been telling you that all along, marcus. You cant hear me up there when im talking to you. [ laughter ] im the short king being honored. Absolutely. Your personality is so big, i would never notice. Thank you, until tuesday. [ laughter ] a short reign. They make it a thing to sell drinks. Were going to need an iced coffee today . I think so. Maybe this afternoon. Im still going for the hot coffee this morning. Its cool to start and this is the first full day of spring, and its still going to be sunny and mild. The weather we had yesterday is basically on repeat today. I think most of us will take it. Now, tomorrow its also going to be mostly sunny and comfortable. But the weekend we see changes, wet and chilly temperatures, and were going to see some off and on showers in the forecast. As the sevenday comes up at the bottom of the screen, check out the trend. Were going from low 70s today in the south bay to low 60s for the weekend. Were up to 71 in san jose, 73 in morgan hill and san martin, and in novato, 66 degrees, about the same in oakland, 62 in san mateo. So in a lot of spots still jacket weather near the coast and up and down the peninsula. But were going to see about the same temperatures tomorrow, still near 70 degrees, and then it cools down on friday, even more so for the weekend, as this system comes in we can see it really organizing out there in the pacific and we can see that long line of clouds that will be getting closer. Well gradually start to see more clouds moving in between now and friday, and then by friday evening scattered showers will be moving in. It looks like its mostly in the afternoon to late evening. And then another wave of rain coming in on saturday afternoon, and then another one right behind that on sunday. Its not going to be raining the entire weekend, but its going to be kind of off and on and that extends into early next week. Some of our models are showing these areas in red near the coast, parts of the north bay could see about 1 to 2 inches of rainfall in total. And then some of the yellow shadings that we have in the interior valleys, thats about 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch of rain. For the sierra, there could be a decent amount of snow over the weekend, potentially a foot or 2 feet in some spots, and then even more next week. Were going back to winter now that its officially spring, and we have a couple of more days of some nice spring weather with highs in the low 70s today and tomorrow. Then that cooldown starts this weekend. Mike, there was a hazard in san jose . Reports of this here, south bay 680 right around the mckee alum rock area. Reports someone pulled over because a rock went through their windshield. I dont know if it kicked up or if it was perhaps another source. I will get more detail hopefully from chp and let you k
