morning. this is "today in the bay." and this is tuesday. good morning to you on this terrific tuesday. we like to cheer you up on tuesday. >> pump you up. >> good morning, i'm marcus washington. >> i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia. good morning to you, mike. good morning to you, kari. and this is a perfect spring forecast. >> it's terrific. >> terrific tuesday, nice sunshine. it's going to be a beautiful day. and it's going to be the best day of the week, weather-wise. now, we'll see temperatures starting out in the upper 40s, as you walk out the door in walnut creek and oakland, we're in the low 50s in san francisco and in san jose, and redwood city you're starting out with some upper 40s as well. all clear sunshine throughout the day, and it's going to be, once again, very nice and comfortable as our high temperatures reach into the low 70s there. san mateo, 68 degrees.

71 in oakland and 71 in napa, while san jose is up to 77 degrees. it will be slightly cooler tomorrow, all thanks to more clouds coming in. we'll be in the mid to upper 60s. we continue to see those temperatures dip through the end of the week. mike, you were seeing more traffic today compared to yesterday. >> yeah, we have a traffic tuesday. it's a little more than yesterday. it's not that bad. we're looking at the bay bridge, we had a disabled vehicle on the span. they turned on the metering lights and there is more volume at the toll plaza. also highway 37 and highway 4, we didn't see those slower drives yesterday. today we do. we also see a little fog registering, but folks know how to drive through that. a build in the tri-valley. even at the dublin interchange, a little more slowing. nothing dramatic. nothing big deal. but there's slowing in san jose, also right on schedule. back to you. >> thanks, mike. a landmark hotel in las

vegas is shutting down today making way for a future baseball stadium for the a's. bob redell joins us from the east bay. the a's will try to secure their current lease at the coliseum. >> reporter: correct. the lease extension. good morning to you. the a's leadership with expecting to meet with the city of oakland today to discuss an extension of the lease currently at the coliseum. the a's are not leaving oakland until 2028, so there's a few years there they need a place to stay, and that's why they're talking to the city about this extension. you're looking at video of a recent game where you can see few fans are showing up in response to the team's imminent move out of oakland. the city has proposed a five-year $97 million lease extension. the team would be able to opt out in 2028 after three years, but would still owe the city the full amount of the contract. but with little fan support so far this season, a former executive that we spoke with believes the team should look

elsewhere. >> if you're going to extend that lease for three years, four years or five years in a ghost town, that is one of the worst marketing plans for major league baseball that you could ever consider. >> reporter: the a's are also looking at temporarily relocating to some spots in salt lake city or sacramento. the city of oakland is asking major league baseball to create a path for oakland to get an extension team or help with the sale of the a's to local ownership. at 3:00 this morning, the tropicana hotel casino shut down in las vegas, all resort guests staying at that hotel must be checked out by noon today. eventually the tropicana, which has been a landmark in sin city, will be demolished to make room for the a's new $1.5 billion ballpark. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> it has been around forever, it seems. thank you, bob. new overnight, san jose

first responders hard at work after a one-alarm fire breaks out in the horseman neighborhood, the fire started around 2:00 along north 7th street. there's no word on injuries or what sparked that fire. a shooting outside a safeway store in napa county is now under investigation. it happened yesterday around 4:30 in the afternoon in the town of american canyon. investigators say someone fired into the parking lot of the safeway, police say three people were shot. >> when officers arrived on scene, they located three males that were suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, first aid was provided by the officers that responded on scene, and then they were transported -- all three were transported to local hospitals. >> we don't know their conditions at this point. now, police tell us they have not yet arrested anyone, but they did detain two people for questioning. anyone who saw the shooting is asked to call the napa county

sheriff's department. developing now, a deadly air strike kills seven aid workers distributing food in gaza. in response, the nonprofit organization world central kitchen is pausing its operations in the region. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is joining us live from washington this morning. more on that attack and also the new promise being made, brie. >> reporter: that's right. good morning, marcus. the israeli military is promising a full probe into the air strike. just within the last hour we got a statement from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu speaking out since he was released from the hospital following hernia surgery about yesterday's attack in gaza. he says, in part, it happens in war, we check it to the end, we are in contact with the governments and we will do everything so that this thing does not happen again. as you mentioned, those seven workers were working for the well known nonprofit world central kitchen. the idf says it called the organization's founder, famed chef andres to offer

condolences. the seven aid workers were leaving a warehouse at the time of the air strike after unloading more than 100 tons of food. one of them was an american. the u.s.-based nonprofit says its team was traveling in two armored cars bearing its logo and had coordinated its movements with the israeli military. meanwhile, it's also just confirmed that the foreign minister of cypress says two-thirds of an undelivered aid shipment, about 240 tons from the world central kitchen headed for gaza is now being returned to the mediterranean island. >> we've seen the call for peace across the world, really, at this point. but i want to talk about that meeting yesterday. we talked about that here on "today in the bay." it was hours long, a virtual meeting, happening between the white house and israel. how did that go? >> reporter: so in a joint statement, israel and the white house said they had a constructive engagement about

that ground assault on rafah, gaza's southernmost city. both sides agreed that they share the objective to see hamas defeated in the region. u.s. officials are trying to persuade israel not to launch a full-scale invasion of rafah, where roughly 1 million palestinians have fled looking for safety. the biden administration opposes the assault without a plan to move the individuals, while acknowledging hamas militants are holed up there. the meeting comes after israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu canceled an in-person meeting last week after the u.s. declined to use its veto to stop a u.n. security council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in gaza. it also comes as israeli forces withdrew from gaza's main hospital following a two-week raid that left devastation in its wake. now, despite ongoing protests calling for a cease-fire, the biden administration officials are defending sending more military equipment to israel.

>> hopefully they'll find some peace soon. brie jackson, thank you. it is 6:08. happening now, santa clara valley health care is dealing with a systemwide nurses strike. this is a live look at valley medical center in san jose right now. one of the places where the nurses will be picketing. this is expected to last three days and those picket lines will be outside all three of the county's hospitals, valley medical, also o'connor hospital in san jose and st. louise regional hospital in gilroy. nurses are calling for increases to staffing, pay, benefits and security. santa clara valley health care says it has spent $20 million in order to cover staffing during this strike, and is bringing in more than 1,000 contracted nurses. we are talking with the nurses about what they are asking for. we can tell you that some patient appointments have been rescheduled until after the strike. santa clara valley health care

says it has been generous with the terms of the new contract. again, we are talking about nurses as well. new at 6:00, b.a.r.t. is revealing new insight surrounding its bleak financial picture. the new numbers indicate the rail system will face a budget deficit over the next four fiscal years. projections come as b.a.r.t. is expected to run out of federal and state emergency assistance. next fiscal year the agency faces a $26 million deficit. it increases to nearly $349 million shortfall in the following fiscal year, which begins in july of 2026, which that money is projected to officially run out. all of this comes as b.a.r.t. continues to face challenges in growing ridership. happening today, the state department of water resources, the dwr, will conduct another snow survey. it is the fourth of the year. and it's happening at 10:00 this morning. governor gavin newsom will be there in person. experts say the april survey is

considered the peak of the seasonal snowpack. the last survey reported about 18 inches. now, recent storms could help with today's result, but this is really kind of our moment of truth for the rain season. >> yeah, so you see them stick that big long pole down into the snow. they're measuring the water content of it. that's something that you can't really measure just by looking at the depth of the snow. so we are now seeing our sierra snowpack at 102% of normal around the tahoe area. the northern sierra is doing the best at 119%. it's so important, because it does provide a third of the state's water supply as we go into those dry summer months. all of that snowmelt flows into the reservoirs and gives us more water. once again, on average, we are at 105% of our usual amount of sierra snowpack. there's some additional light snow coming in for the next few days, with the next storm system

ahead of the weekend. we could see about 6 to 11 inches of additional snowfall. so that just, once again, helps us out even more. as we take a look at our bay area forecast, this will be the last warm day with sunshine, clouds, windy and cooler weather coming in, with rain and thunderstorms possible on thursday and friday. so i'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike is looking around to find you lower gas prices. >> we're looking for the lower gas prices, i guess. alameda county's best is in livermore, $4.49 at valero on old first street. in marin county, we have larkspur, lowest is $4.75 at marin gas on magnolia avenue. and yesterday i did searching as well with gas buddy and waze's health, a few blocks off my path, $4.55 at excel gas and mart on north first street. lots of access to information at gasbuddy.com and others. we look at the roadways, a smooth flow of traffic for the

most part. more traffic flow than yesterday. altamont pass holding steady. vasco road has slowed a lot over the last half hour. now the travel time out of brentwood, byron, discovery bay, about a half hour toward 580. there is an issue on the eastshore freeway. we'll check it out coming up. turning an abandoned golf course into a park. next, the crucial vote set to happen in marin county later today and the promise from leaders to keep the natural environment intact. truth social has released details of its financials and they are terrible, and shareholders know it. let's go to the futures and see what's in store. it looks like we're getting nowhere near the dow 40k this week. how much would you pay for a good old bottle of wine from napa valley? the extremely rare bottle that just sold at auction and the price is rather shocking. stick around to see if you would pay that much.

right now at 6:16, as we take a live look outside in walnut creek, all clear and a nice, chilly start to our morning. sunshine continues today, and take a look at the warm-up we'll have going into the afternoon, with temperatures topping out in the low 70s. this is the last day we'll see temperatures like this in quite a while, so take it in. we'll talk about the changes coming up.

and the backup at the eastshore freeway westbound, coming toward us, we lined up the camera just in time to see traffic move smoothly. there is still a delay out of berkeley and we'll see whether or not this is an improvement or just a temporary change. more coming up. good morning. very happy tuesday to you. the dow definitely did not go over 40,000 yesterday, stepping back from that mark by quite a bit. united airlines is not there. let's talk about tesla for a second. we'll get to tesla in a second. united airlines offering unpaid time off to some of its pilots, even as demand for travel continues. they just don't have the planes, united says, because of the deliberate slowdown at boeing as the airplane maker refocuses on safety. shares in truth social plunged after the company filed paperwork warning it lost $58 million in 2023. not a huge surprise.

we were talking about this last week based on previously filed reports. among the risks that the company lists going forward, trump's many criminal trials and truth's social accountants raised the concern they may not have enough money to last. a southern california family is taking tesla to court over an accident in their model x. the suit describes how a mother parked her tesla in the garage, motor off, doors open so she could unload groceries, when her 2-year-old got back in the car, turned it on, put it in drive and pinned his mother against the garage wall. the complaint reads she began screaming for help and neighbors ran over but were unable to stop and reverse the model x. they had to guide neighbors how to do it. she says the system is flawed if a 2-year-old can start it. tesla has no system to comment to reports. we'll learn more in court. that's not the only civil trial

the company is facing this month. we also expect a lawsuit filed by the family of an apple engineer killed in a self-driving tesla on 101 in mountain view will get under way in april as well. federal crash investigators say the man was playing a game on his phone at the time. we get the job opening and labor turnover report today, jolts for short, that shows us how many jobs are available in the u.s. that have gone unfilled. that number is getting smaller as the economy tightens up a bit. but it's still huge. we'll have more in that big jobs report on friday. as you guys have gotten used to me saying, good news is bad news, bad news is good news. if there are lots of jobs for all the americans to take, that's bad news, because it means that employers have to compete, which raises wages, which is bad news again, because it creates inflation. unless you're one of those people. >> right. and that's a hard thing. you want to root for the economy, but, then, gosh -- >> on the micro level it's

tough. >> we need a boom. >> exactly. [ laughter ] new at 6:00, marin county could soon have a new park. the marin county board of supervisors are going to vote on a plan for the san gironimo golf course today. the city leaders there, they indeed want to convert it into a park, this is so the new fire department headquarters on site could go there. the golf course is 157 acres and located on sir francis drake boulevard. the land is not expected to be developed into a park, but rather it will remain natural. do not expect a playground there or courts or anything like that. it's perfect for what i like to do, which is just wander. >> don't get lost. >> i tell the girls, let's just go wander. also new this morning, a

decades-old bottle of napa win sells for tens of thousands of dollars. >> i had to work on the pronunciation because it's not two buck chuck. it is a 1969 cabernet. it is widely considered one of the best wine to say come out of napa valley and one of the rarest. it was first bought in 1981 for $6,000 and last week someone snagged the bottle for more than $64,000. this happened at a fine and rare wine signature auction. other notable bottles like those from martha's vineyard sold for about $35,000. >> man, you can get some fresh wine for that price. [ laughter ] >> i'm with you. >> that's a lot of trust that people have handled it and stored it correctly through all of those years. >> yeah, but then when do you open it? >> never. >> what is that occasion? >> never. >> maybe if it's good weather

outside. >> is this the weekend to open it? >> not this weekend, but today, definitely. maybe for the lunar eclipse next week, or solar eclipse, i should say. let's talk about the changes we'll see. we are enjoying sunshine and mild temperatures. it's 52 right new in san francisco, 47 in walnut creek and in oakland. but we are going to see a lot of changes coming in, with the cold front you see a long line of clouds extending over the pacific. this is associated with a cold front. as of today, by the time that gets here, we'll see clouds rolling in and we will see a big drop in temperatures. we're enjoying those 70s. take a look at the bottom of the screen, the seven-day forecast, major changes before we reach the weekend. we'll be in the upper 70s for san jose today and some mid-70s for much of the east bay with pleasanton and livermore, as well as fremont reaching a high

of 75. 71 in redwood city and san francisco downtown, 65 degrees, a light wind and sunshine, and 71 in novato, santa rosa and napa. well, tomorrow we'll start to see more clouds arriving and it will be cooler, but then on thursday rain rolls across the bay area, starting out by late morning, continuing throughout the day off and on, and we'll wrap this up with snow on some of our bay area hills and mountains, while the valleys will get some rain. so we're mostly looking at about a half inch of rainfall from mill valley on southward. there could be rainfall totals up to an inch in the santa cruz mountains. but we're also going to be looking at upper elevations for the possibility of a coating of snow. this is not an april fool's joke. we are past that. we're going to see the potential of getting about 1 to 3 inches of snow at the santa cruz summit, mount hamilton, as well as the north bay mountains. cool air coming in for the weekend, off and on rain, and then going into next week, just

in time for that solar eclipse, we will see temperatures warming up and things drying out. a look at our seven-day forecast shows all of the changes we'll see, going from highs in the mid-70s today to only mid-50s on thursday. we'll start out friday morning in the upper 30s. i don't know if we're ready for that. it will only be in the low 60s for the weekend, and clearing out for monday. mike, you were tracking a backup for i-80. >> things are shifting around. hang with me here. i get excited about the bay bridge, light traffic if you're coming in off of some of the avenues. out of the maze, it's great. and from 880 itself from oakland, it's looking really nice. down the eastshore freeway things are really jammed up still. we can't clearly see because of the glow of the lights, westbound 80 does show a big backup coming into the area at ashby. it sounds like one lane may be blocked and crews may be on scene, westbound jammed up out of richmond, approaching berkeley, making the toll plaza a lot lighter. the rest of the east bay has a

standard pattern. it's only the eastshore freeway that's jammed. >> thanks, mike. how about a purdy big pay raise? up next, how the 49ers quarterback just earned himself a major boost and why the team is not paying for

welcome back. it is 6:27 this morning. san francisco 49ers quarterback brock purdy just landed a big

pay bonus and the team didn't pay any of it. the nfl awarded purdy more than $700,000 as part of the league's performance-based playing program which pays based on playing time and salaries. purdy is on a rookie contract that pays him $870,000. meanwhile, the bonus will nearly double his earnings this season. this comes after purdy threw 31 touchdowns and led the niners to the super bowl. >> i would say that's pretty good performance. >> hello. we have a lot more ahead at 6:30, including bracing for a walkout in the south bay. >> reporter: nurses are walking off the job here at valley medical, as well as two other hospitals and 13 clinics here in the south bay. the south bay. we'll giveou the y

thanks so much for joining us on this tuesday morning. i'm kris sanchez. >> i'm marcus washington. let's get you caught up with that forecast today. meteorologist kari hall is tracking a beautiful sunrise there in the city. >> isn't it nice? this is tuesday morning, it's no longer monday. you don't have to worry about those april fool's jokes. we're going to have some great conditions as we go into today, with a mostly sunny sky. we are starting out cool around the bay area, with some low 50s in san francisco. it's 50 in san jose and mid-40s for the tri-valley into the north bay. but look at where we're headed. it's going to be a beautiful, comfortable afternoon, with highs reaching into the low to mid-70s, even upper 70s for the south bay. we'll talk about the arrival of a cold front and some rain in our microclimate forecast that's coming up in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. happening now, nurses in the south bay are starting to walk off the job for a three-day strike. >> "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live outside

valley medical center. ginger, this is a really busy hospital, it could have a lot of impact on people. tell us what it is that the nurses are asking for. >> reporter: good morning, kris and marcus. nurses are demanding for increases in staffing and pay, benefits and security, they say that understaffing is a chronic problem or is a major problem here at valley medical. now, you're taking a look at the hospital, not much is happening just yet. but things are expected to kick off within the hour, within the next 30 minutes, actually. today, tomorrow and thursday, nurses are walking off the job at three hospitals and 13 clinics. aside from valley medical, one of the largest hospitals in california, nurses are striker at o'connor hospital on forest avenue in san jose as well, at st. louise regional hospital in gilroy. santa clara valley health care says they have prepared for the impact of this strike, spending roughly $20 million and bringing

in 1,000 contracted nurses. >> clearly it's very disruptive to our typical patient services, but we feel as though we have made the maximum effort to ensure that our services can continue to the community who we care for. >> reporter: now, we just heard from santa clara valley medical. we have with us someone from the registered nurses professional association. we just heard from santa clara valley. they say this is disruptive to patients. why is it worth striking? >> so the nurses have made the bold stand to do this because the county hasn't been working with us and understanding what the nurses' needs are. the nurses have been driven to this point to stand up for our patients and stand up for ourselves. so that's why the nurses have made this difficult choice to do this. >> reporter: what are the biggest sticking points? >> the biggest sticking points is our working conditions because the county has chronically understaffed us and we need the staffing to keep our

patients safe. we're out here not because of ourselves, we're out here to protect our patients. >> reporter: you guys are going to be out here for a long day today, up until 7:00 p.m., as well as tomorrow, other locations until 3:00 in the afternoon. and we'll be giving you guys updates from valley medical here in san jose throughout the morning. so watch out for that. thank you. i'll give it back to you guys. >> busy morning. ginger, thank you. it is 6:34 right now. and there is an investigation under way in napa county after a shooting in a safeway parking lot. it happened around 4:30 yesterday afternoon in american canyon. we do know that three people were shot. police say someone opened fire in the parking lot of the safeway. they have not made any arrests, but officers do say they detained two people for questioning. if you were in the area, you saw anything, you are asked to call the napa county sheriff's

department. san francisco supervisors are moving forward with a plan to put up more speed cameras in the city. today they'll vote on how to implement the project. the new cameras are all part of an effort to crack down on speeding in the area. governor gavin newsom signed a bill last year which allows six california cities to install cameras, including san francisco, oakland and san jose. there will be 33 cameras in total across san francisco. in just a few hours, the a's will meet with the city of oakland and alameda county to talk about maybe extending the team's lease at the coliseum for another five years. the team not planning to stay, but they do have to play somewhere while they build their stadium in las vegas. they are committed to the coliseum through the end of this season. in las vegas, a step forward in the construction of the team's new stadium, the tropicana hotel, after years and years and years, it closes today. the sin city landmark comes ahead -- the closure comes ahead

of the planned demolition where the a's will build the $1.5 billion stadium. the a's hope to move in there in 2028. hundreds of tourists and locals are still being impacted by the partial collapse of highway 1. you may remember this happened saturday afternoon in monterey county near big sur in the middle of all of that heavy rain. now, the crews there, they had to close that road there because of all the damage, leaving a lot of drivers with no way out. crews on sunday set up convoys, which they escorted drivers through the area. many drivers were able to pass through, but tourists are still feeling the impact. >> we followed google maps and we thought google maps would know the road closures and stuff, but apparently it did not. and we just learned about the slide. >> that is the worst. >> that's a bummer. >> more rain could disrupt the convoys in the coming days. heavy showers are possible and

thunderstorms as well, expected to begin thursday night. 6:37 right now. let take a look out our window over san jose. it was so bright and blue earlier. now it looks like a little bit of haze. kari says it's going to be a super nice day today, at least. >> yeah, we don't have much time before the next storm system arrives and we can see it extending over the pacific. this is all associated with a cold front and it's also going to give us a boost in the additional rainfall, as well as the chance of thunderstorms. look at the timeline, the rain arrives by about 10:00 to 11:00 on thursday morning, and gets heavier as we go throughout the day, off and on showers, and then the potential of those thunderstorms as well. looking at how much rain we may see, anywhere from a little more than a quarter inch of rain in livermore, to possibly three-quarters of an inch of rain in santa rosa and along the coastline the rainfall totals will be higher. mike, you're starting with the ongoing backup into

berkeley. >> this is westbound 80. the two left lanes heading toward the bay bridge are blocked by an issue. there's a small crash and that's causing a major backup coming off the bridge, as well as down through richmond. there may be movement in the next few minutes, but right now it's holding folks off from the bay bridge, making the bay bridge lighter. that's fine, unless you're on the eastshore freeway. over here this evening, we're looking ahead because the a's are playing tonight. this is the second of three games. two night games, and then tomorrow a midday game. potential slowing as crowds are getting off of the nimitz. in san jose, we have typical slowing building for north 101, but it's in mountain view where there are a couple of other incidents. more slowing toward moffett field. back to you. how about the right to disconnect? ahead, we'll show you a new bill one local lawmaker is introducing to help you ignore any after-hours calls from your

boss. plus, abortion shaping up to be a major issue in the next presidential election. let's go out to the big board this morning. we were thinking maybe dow 40,000 this week, a it's nd

right now at 6:42 on this tuesday morning, we are starting out with a look at our day planner in concord. it's going to be a cool morning, but it's all clear.

we have lots of sunshine today. it's going to be beautiful. temperatures going from upper 60s to mid-70s. now, we'll talk about a cooldown and when that rain comes back in just a few minutes. and speaking of all clear, we're looking at westbound 80, they just cleared all lanes. no mar slowing right here, but there is an issue over at the bay bridge. we'll watch the shift and the backup that's coming to folks traveling into san francisco. well, abortion is once again a major factor in politics, this time in florida. >> scott mcgrew, floridians are going to get a chance to vote on abortion in their state, and that has a big impact on the presidential election. >> it does. as a rule of thumb, the more people who show up to the polls, the more people who vote, the more likely a democrat is to win. democrats, again, rule of thumb are less likely to vote than republicans, but if there's a major issue on the ballot, it changes the math. we've seen this in past elections, where abortion was on the ballot.

democrats showed up. in florida on monday, the state supreme court there let a six-week abortion limit stand, but also allowed the question of abortion to appear on the november ballot. even if biden can't win florida, and a democrat hasn't won florida since barack obama, the abortion question motivates voters. most floridians support abortion rights according to recent polling from the university of northern florida. so florida, as you know, is always a key state, it's also the only state in the entire region that doesn't or didn't have significant restrictions on abortions, which are banned, all but banned in all of these surrounding states. it meant it was where a lot of women seeking support and the procedure drove to. donald trump posted that

$175 million bond ahead of his due date. this is for the new york property fraud case. he lost that case, but he's appealing. he still has to pay the full $450 if he loses his appeal. but his ability to get that bond means the state attorney general cannot go after his assets for now. the judge in his other new york case, the criminal trial involving hush money to an adult film star, has broadened the gag order against mr. trump to include family members of those in court. trump had been attacking the judge's daughter online. prosecutors asked the judge to widen that order. trump is still free to criticize the judge and prosecutors, but not other court staff, their families, jurors or witnesses. now, many defense attorneys frown on their clients attacking the judge or the judge's children, especially before the trial starts, and a sentence is handed down. but it's fairly standard procedure for mr. trump, who constantly criticized the judge in his civil fraud case, calling

him a corrupt political hack, as well as a racist, and this was before judge engoron had decided his case. hope hicks is listed as a prosecution witness in the upcoming new york case, the criminal case, the hush money case. this according to the person with direct involvement in that case. "the new york times," though, the first to report it. trump's former attorney, michael cohen, has said hicks was directly involved in the negotiations with stormy daniels. now, trump has not denied the payments, but denies the two had a sexual relationship. daniels said they did. lastly, a judge in the hunter biden case in california refused his request to throw out his tax case. his attorneys had argued the charges were politically motivated, but, kris, the judge disagreed. >> thank you, scott. new this morning, some

california lawmakers want to give you the right to ignore work texts after hours. san francisco assemblyman matt haney is behind that right to disconnect legislation that would allow workers to ignore not just texts, but emails after hours. there are exceptions like if there's an emergency or a scheduling question, and opponents argue the bill is too vague and doesn't apply to all of us equally. california would be the first state to have a law like this if it passes. well, another drawing without a big jackpot winner. >> that means tomorrow's powerball jackpot is worth $1.09 billion, with a b. the numbers on your screen, in case you want to see if you won any smaller prizes. the cash value of the prize on wednesday is $527 million. the overall odds of winning is 1 in 292.2 million. we should note today is world autism awareness day. >> the whole month is dedicated

to increasing understanding and acceptance and awareness of people with autism. according to the cdc, 1 in 44 children in the u.s. has autism. this includes 1 in 27 boys and 1 in 116 girls. autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. so people with asd may behave and communicate and interact differently, also learn in ways that are different from most other people. this hits really close to home for kari. >> yeah, and so if you've been following my story you know that i have two kids on the autism spectrum. some may have advanced conversation skills like my son, k.j., where others like my 7-year-old daughter bella may be nonverbal. some people with autism spectrum disorder need a lot of help in their daily lives, others can work and live with little or no support. my daughter also has stomach issues and severe acid reflux

which caused her to stop eating two years ago. now everyone wants to know, how is she doing? it's much better. she does still require her feeding tube, but her development is making leaps and bounds thanks to the therapy she gets three hours a day five days a week. now, i found that the bay area has a big community of support, which has also been very helpful during those difficult times. that's her little sensory swing. if you're a caregiver of someone who may be on the spectrum, be sure to lean on that community and the resources and guidance that you get from the people around you. it really does make a huge difference. i definitely appreciate each and every one of you because you had given me some great tips, some people to reach out to, some therapy services. so it's definitely made a world of difference. >> and you've become such a resource for people, too, because you are dealing with so ends of the spectrum. >> oh, yeah. >> so you have a lot of experience. and you've been so open.

i think that autism in the beginning was like, we don't know what it is, we don't want to talk about it, we don't want the stigma. and removing the stigma really opens the doors. >> absolutely. and there's so many people here who are dealing with the same thing, and when you just open up and let people know what you're dealing with, they're like, oh, yeah, this is someone you should reach out to or this is a good service that may be able to help you. so just let it on out there. >> community is important. >> it's a big deal that you share because not everybody can or is able to share at that moment. you've been open with us, so now we understand that we can talk to you about things as well. it's really helped everybody. >> i appreciate that. thank you. so hopefully this helps someone and you reach out to your pediatrician for what to do next. >> thank you as well. >> and it's okay, right? >> yes, it is. >> you're a great mom. >> thank you. >> and those kids are so cute. i almost didn't hear what you

had to say. [ laughter ] >> i post all the time on social media, so be sure to follow me, let me know what you're thinking, what you're dealing with, and maybe we can help each other. >> that's what it's all about. let me help you with the forecast. we have some great weather coming in for today, but changes for the rest of the week. we're starting out with some upper 40s in oakland, it is 47 in walnut creek, it is 50 now in san jose. so it is a cool morning. but look at our afternoon highs we're expecting for today. los gatos reaching a high of 75 degrees and 76 in east san jose, and the seven-day forecast, you'll see why you'll want to enjoy today. we do see a big drop in temperatures coming in. we're still headed up for 74 in walnut creek and danville today, oakland looking at a high of 71, and 64 in daly city and half moon bay. san francisco will also be in the mid-60s with the mission district up to 66 degrees, and

72 in sonoma. so we do have a cold front coming in that arrives tomorrow. the rain off and on between thursday and friday, more sierra snow, but some of the bay area peaks may have some snow as well, with very cold air following in behind this cold front. it gets a little milder and clears out for saturday and sunday, but then another cold front will be dropping in and we'll be watching changes as well. let me show you napa and the changes we'll see. we're going from highs in the 60s and 70s to thursday, the high temperature, 49 degrees. it is going to be so cold and raining off and on, and the weekend is still going to be chilly. look at next week. nice little warm-up, temperatures in the 70s, and we will see things clearing out just in time for that solar eclipse. just a partial eclipse for us, but at least we don't have to worry about clouds. we'll be tracking the changes with the temperatures and rain over the next few days. mike, the traffic is still

shifting around the east bay? >> it is. we're recovering from the earlier issue that had two lanes blocked on the eastshore freeway. speed sensors are improving. the backup continues to build out of el cerrito and into berkeley for west 80, also coming off of the bridge from san rafael to the east bay. the rest of the east bay is standard, not so bad. i thought there was going to be a quick build on the bay bridge, but it's slower at the toll plaza are folks are released. this is an indicator of how light is traffic is for the rest of the feeder routes out of the maze. in the south bay, we have 85, 87 and 101 showing a slower drive and more trouble as we had an earlier crash north 101 at 237. both were slowing. back to you. happening now, there are going to be new bike lanes in palo alto on a busy roadway. it happens after city council passed a proposal to add those bike lanes on el camino real. they did that last night. the department of transportation came up with a proposal to make

the road safer. so parking on the road will be removed to make way for those lanes. the plan did face criticism because some people say that losing those parking spots could impact local business and could displace people who live in rvs along the street. that plan includes finding alternative parking options once those bike lanes are added. next, a look at the top stories making headlines, including nurses on strike. we want to give you a live look in san jose where hundreds have walked off the job. we're going to talk about the demands being made, ongoing negotiations,nd the impact to a

welcome back. we are moving you forward with a look at our top stories on "today in the bay." >> at this hour, nurses in the south bay are starting day one of a three-day strike. this is a live look at valley medical cente in san jose where the picket line is getting under way. there will be one outside valley medical, o'connor and st. louise regional. nurses are calling for increases to staffing, pay, benefits and security.

santa clara valley health care says it has spent $20 million to cover this strike and is bringing in more than 1,000 contracted nurses. well, this morning napa sheriff's deputies are investigating a shooting in a safeway parking lot on american canyon yesterday afternoon. we know three people were shot but we don't know their conditions. the sheriff's department telling us that they haven't made arrests, but they did detain two people for questioning. if you saw what happened there, you are asked to call napa county sheriff's department. today the a's will meet with leaders from oakland and alameda county to talk about extending the team's lease at the coliseum for another five years. the team has committed to play at the coliseum through this season. in las vegas there is a step forward in construction for the team's new stadium, the tropicana hotel officially closes today. the sin city landmark closures comes ahead of the planned demolition so the a's can build their $1.5 billion stadium. a look at the forecast. a beautiful forecast today.

i like to say it. >> it's going to be a warm day. temperatures start in the 50s, then we're headed for the mid-70s in the inland areas. it will be fairly mild tomorrow and rain developing on thursday. look at the drop-off in the temperatures, going down about 20 degrees over the course of a couple of days, and our mornings in the upper 30s, off and on rain, and then we are going to see in time for the solar eclipse on monday, we're looking at sunshine. >> don't look at the sun. this is north 101, there's still an issue. northbound there are a couple of lanes blocked as you travel past ellis through mountain view. it's jamming up 237 as well as 101 coming into the area from about lawrence expressway on either freeway. so that is the issue for the south bay, although the volume is heavier than yesterday, it's lighter than many tuesdays. we talked about spring break drifting around for many schools

and colleges last week, this week and next week. the bay bridge is getting more traffic after the earlier crash and did clear from westbound 80. >> the "today" show is moments away, but we will continue "today in the bay" on roku and other streaming platforms live at 8:00. the new help coming for teachers trying to make it in the bay. plus, a going.com expert joins us to break down the best summer flight deals. we're all ears. good tuesday morning. a dangerous outbreak of severe weather overnight. good tuesday morning.{ a dangerous outbreak of severe weather overnight. >> and there is a lot more on the way. it's april 2nd. this is "today." powerful storms. tornadoes, hail and heavy rain rip across the nation's mid-section. that wild weather now on the move threatening tens of millions from the south all the way to new england. al's got everything we need to
