5:38 pm
of money. first republic headquartered in san francisco has seen its stock price plummet after admitting it lost nearly half its deposits over the last three months as investors continue to pull out. shares of stock are down 95% just in the last month and a half. it's important to note here that anyone with funds -- funds are protected up to $250,000 per account because of the fdic, the government. but if you have more than that in a single account, this is an uncertain time. >> the main difference is that for silicon valley, the government steps in and says, no matter, you're safe. but apparently this has not happened for first republic. so first republic is just as any company in difficulty. if you're invested in them, and as a depositor you are, you're hoping for the best.
5:39 pm
>> people are nervous. let's bring in our business and tech reporter scott budman. you've been following first republic, silicon valley bank. what happens now? if i have money in first republic, the government has yet to step in. am i nervous? >> you're nervous because since the government has yet to step in and investors have clearly stepped out, this is similar to the pattern we saw with svb a couple of months ago. we know what happened there. the government did have to come in, bail out all the deposits, eventually another bank took over. that hasn't happened yet here, so there are question marks ahead. if you have money in first republic and it's $250,000 or less, you're fine. you're protected by the fdic. but there are a lot of companies and some venture capitalists like svb that have trusted first republic with more money than that. right now they're sweating. >> i'm cynical. everyone says fdic will come in, everything's going to be fine. but what's the s pro? 90 days? 9 days? 9 hours? what if i want my money?
5:40 pm
>> nobody can answer with a definite time. i wouldn't how about on asap. this is still going on. svb dragged out for quite some time. eventually you'll be able to get that money but it could take time. there were people that showed up at svb and walked out with a check that day. there were others that had to wait weeks. so i really -- i was trying to get an answer exactly how long this takes, and there is no exact. >> svb was bought by a bigger company, a bigger bank. what happens with tures republic? what are some of the options? >> one of the options is it stays independent. it did say it was going to lay off 20 to 25% of its staff to cut costs. another thing, a big bank could try to buy it outright. a third option, that's the one we saw with svb, the government takes control, says we're going to make good on those assets, and perhaps another bank comes in like with svb. there are a few scenarios that could play out here. >> timeline, monday morning, are we going to have an answer?
5:41 pm
>> we may. these things tend for some reason to get solved on friday nights or weekends. >> like svb. >> this weekend is going to be a nail-biting time. we should learn at least what's the next step for first republic, if we don't know in the next couple of days. >> it's amazing, two big banks in the bay area, this one on the verge. >> it shows the vulnerability of our banking system and the economy in general, you're right. fairfield, a deadly crash on the tracks. one dead, several more hurt after an amtrak train hit a car around 8:30 this morning. the car spun and crashed into another car. it happened at east taylor and railroad avenue. the road was closed for several hours and amtrak service was stopped for the investigation. it is not clear yet why that car was on the tracks in the first place. e.g. carroll took the stand in her civil suit against former president trump, accusing him of raping her in the '90s. carroll described running into mr. trump at a new york
5:42 pm
department store, who suggested she try on a body suit in the lingerie department. she says he coaxed her into the dressing room, shoved her against the wall, then raped her. the testimony after the judge warned mr. trump about two posts on truth social, the a social media platform created by the trump team. the president called the case a scam and argued that carroll's lawyer is a political operative. the judge says mr. trump could risk being sued or having sanctions imposed. the former president has denied the rape accusations. up next, we had a little fun today from the nbc studios to paypal park. our weather team hit the road teaming up with the earthquakes for a day of science and soccer. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. those hotter temperatures helping things to bloom out here. oak, cedar, sycamore, pine all in the high category. details on when some rain is

5:46 pm
enjoy learning more about science. to get a chance to learn more about the quakes. >> reporter: kari hall and vianey arana showed the students how to make a tornado. it's a rare weather event for california but a cool experiment for students to show their families. >> it's something most people don't consider that happens in california, but we were able to show them what a tornado looks like if it were to happen, because we don't see them so much around the bay area. >> reporter: even our storm ranger mobile doppler radar was at this event all the way from san bruno mountain. students looked around the truck, and we explained the cool technology and how we use it during atmospheric rivers and other events to provide the most accurate forecasts here in the bay area. >> they start thinking about weather, the planet, the sky, the earth, the atmosphere. then that gets their wheels rolling. at the end of the day, they're the future leaders of tomorrow. with our climate in crisis, there are the ones that will make the biggest impact.
5:47 pm
>> reporter: overall, a very successful day with the students and all of the team members at the event. the students went home with prizes, and hopefully we sparked an interest in meteorology. who knows, maybe we'll see them here on the screen. although they've got a couple more years to go. reporting from paypal park in san jose, cynthia pimentel, "nbc bay area news.." >> what a fun day. >> we were recruiting? was that a recruiting event? >> i saw them doing the weather, they did a good job. pg&e snow survey crews getting the last snow survey of the spring and the last snowpack survey of the spring. they measured 211 inches of snow yesterday atlasen volcanic national park. that's a lot of snow. pg&e is one of several agencies conducting snowpack surveys. data will be used to figure out how much watertowns will have, also how much hydroelectric power the snowmelt will
5:48 pm
generate. it's starting to melt now. >> and this is the crazy thing. even though we have a flood watch and that snowmelt is a concern into the weekend, next week we're looking at temperatures dropping into the 20s and 30s overnight in the sierra. and even maybe 6 inches or more with a storm system. it could put it on pause, which would help all of this out. dynamic weather coming over the next seven to ten days in our forecast. so enjoy the heat. it's just going to be a short little stint here of it before we begin to see larger changes. let's move it right into your thursday morning forecast. we'll start it off here with a bit of fog near the bay, the coast, san francisco. but overall, some pretty warm temperatures here to begin. 56 in the south bay. looking pretty comfortable for san francisco at 50. north bay 56 as well. daytime highs tomorrow warming up 4 to 6 degrees.
5:49 pm
that's going to be good enough in the south bay to put us in the 90s. look at this, 91 in milpitas. 90 morgan hill. east bay, low 90s antioch, concord, danville, pleasanton. near the bay, that's warm in hayward at 84. the peninsula, close to 90 in palo alto, redwood city 87. look at the difference here. daly city and half moon bay with colder 60s with ocean breeze. downtown or the mission in san francisco, we'll be back up into the 70s. north bay, 91 in clear lake. 88 novato. tomorrow the peak of the heat, nearing records. the ten-day forecast, things are going to drop for us here by monday into tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, even the following weekend. 60s are coming back for us. that's all going to happen from this system dropping down from the north. not only chillier temperatures, but even the chance here of some spotty rain, some sierra snow.
5:50 pm
this system could actually linger into may 7th. here's the deal. next tuesday, we're looking at trace amounts to .25 as that system spins in. a slight chance on wednesday and thursday. but it could kind of kick back around. the storm system by next friday, we may get .25 to .50 on that one. for the sierra, snow totals next week 2 to 3 inches, maybe even a little bit higher. so we'll have all eyes on that. right now, again, get ready for heat here in san francisco. you can see 77 tomorrow. 60 on monday with increasing winds and shower chances next tuesday into the end of next week. 93 inland, then that 68 next monday. so something for everyone on that seven-day forecast, literally. that's a big curveball. >> all in the next five days. okay, get ready for this. how many colleges did you get
5:51 pm
accepted to? you went to uc san diego? >> i applied to a lot. >> it's nerve-racking. a new record set by this young man in new orleans. y.'ll tell you how man
