once again even though we're starting out with some fog, let's get a live look outside in oakland where it is clear here but we've seen the fog moving around parts of the south county and the north bay. as you step out in pleasant hill temperatures in the low 50s. it's a cool morning. at least here it's clear. we will see sunshine for the rest of the day as our temperatures warm up. in some spots warm and sunny. other areas cool and foggy. hence, microclimates. we will reach into the upper 50s for half moon bay. fairfield reaches 87 degrees. we'll talk more about what's ahead coming up. mike, you have an alert for the east bay. >> the location was updated once chp got on the scene. standard build and highway 4 looking all right despite the crash at the on ramp. it's over here just off the east shore freeway. southbound 580 right around bayview getting over to the richmond to san rafael bridge. because of that transition and

the city of walnut creek will ask people to vote yes on a half cent sales tax increase. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell explains the money from measure o would go to things such as law entorsment. >> reporter: walnut creek hired five more police officers but the stimulus funds will run out soon. measure o would fund those for the next ten years. it asks walnut creek residents for a half cent increase over the next decade from 8.75% to 9.25% to raise about $11 million annually which would not only pay for crime prevention and public safety but would, among other things, help people who are unhoused, improve services for the young and the old, and upgrade aging infrastructure like the pool at heather farm park. >> it's old, it's always breaking down. the locker rooms are bad. it's very shallow so you can't use it for certain times of swim meets. >> building a new swim complex at heather farm brings

additional meets to town, people staying in hotels and eating at restaurants. >> reporter: since this would be a general tax, mayor matt francois and the city council, which unanimously approved this measure for the ballot, would decide how the new money is spent with annual audits and independent oversight from the citizens. >> half the tax would be paid by visitors, nonresidents, people coming to shop at broadway plaza or to come to our restaurants and shops. they would be paying their fair share, too. >> this is one of the wealthiest communities in the united states. it's like everything else, always find more ways to spend more money. >> everything costs more. people are struggling as it is. why would you tax them even more when you are going to have more issues just as a city because of that? you're going to have people not able to pay their rents, their mortgages. >> if the taxes went to something that you could visually see, maybe that would

help. >> reporter: to police, help the aging infrastructure, the pool, help combat homelessness. >> well, i guess if that's what it's going to, it wouldn't be that bad. >> i agree with you. i'm a person who doesn't like to pay taxes, but i love living in this community and i value the high quality of life we have and, to me, the tradeoff is worth it. >> reporter: the mayor says no one has filed an opposition statement to measure o. walnut creek downtown and the local chamber of commerce support it. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> we do have a special page on our website dedicated to all things election. you'll find more on key races that you'll be asked to vote on if you head to nbcbayarea.com/decision2022. it is 6:05. developing at this hour president biden and g7 leaders are meeting virtually to discuss russia's ongoing war against ukraine. it comes after russian forces unleashed a barrage of missiles on several ukrainian cities killing at least 11 people.

i stand up for myself, and i'm here to tell the truth. so i think that is impactful to the jury. >> currently siebel newsom is a documentary filmmaker but was an actor between 2002 and 2011. a statement her attorney released says, in part, like many other women, siebel newsom was sexually assaulted by harvey weinstein at a purported business meeting that turned out to be a trap. she intends to testify at his trial in order to seek some measure of justice for survivors and as participate of her life's work to improve the lives of women. 6:09. new details this morning. a new santa clara county grand jury reports some have acted unethically in dealing with the san francisco 49ers. the report suggests some councilmembers have ignored city interests even alluding to potential city and state legal violations. the panel says the city never met a deadline of yesterday morning to respond to the report at which time it was released.

reports you're putting into gas buddy. unfortunately, that means they're all coming up closer to $6. the south bay's best is $5.74. at the shell $5.69. $5.78 at grand gas on spring road. that's the best we could do in those regions. now out to the roadways. two alerts. i call this an alert because we have southbound lanes blocked by a motorcycle crash, a crash involving a motorcycle. there's debris and the tow truck is stuck in the back of trying to get there out of brentwood heading down to 580. this is an alert west 580, two of three lanes are blocked because of an overturned big rig. over to the richmond bridge off of the east shore freeway. back to you. >> thank you, mike. get ready to break out the credit card. it's prime day 2.0. amazon is hoping you will spend

nice day. the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen as we head for 80 degrees in cupertino. east san jose and some upper 80s for walnut creek and pleasanton topping out at 89 degrees. fremont will see a high of 79 there. some low 60s for half moon bay. san francisco up to 67 downtown. notice how windy it will be coming in from the west at about 20 miles per hour. and sonoma reaching 81. clear lake reaching 90 degrees today. you can see the difference in the temperatures across the bay area. and there's really not much of a change except for high pressure slowly moving away and through the next few days we'll see a few more clouds especially for the start of next week. a stronger ocean breeze and possibly a drop in temperatures. let's take a look at concord. we're in the low 80s from today through at least friday, and it's going to be a beautiful weekend. hopefully you are already making plans to get outside.

we're looking at highs in the low to mid-70s here. it does start to warm back up. our inland temperature trend goes from very warm today to kind of fog like for the weekend and early next week with some upper 70s for a high. san francisco not changing much here. that fog is not going anywhere and those temperatures stay in the 60s. mike, you have two east bay trouble spots. >> this one vasco really a problem because folks coming down out of brentwood and byron stopped up. i think they may be letting some folks around because the buildup hasn't built all the way back to marsh creek but still don't count on that as a smooth ride. they may need a second tow truck that stuck in the back that's a big problem because coming over to the area highway 4, coming up into antioch and then over here to the backup at pittsburg. not so bad for concord. the east bay, the other trouble spot here is getting to the richmond-san rafael bridge. an overturned big rig at bayview

avenue. if you can get over to marina parkway joins on and takes you to the bridge. the rest of the bay aside from the two trouble spots is looking pretty pleasant. back to you. >> thank you, mike. this morning a deeper dip into hispanic heritage. next on "today in the bay," a filmmaker making her biggest dreams come true and the special homecoming she just received. first, check out what kari was up to this week. she headed up to tahoe for some fresh air, loving the nature up there. look at this. i love the expression on her face. spotted a bear out there. kari and the bear. kari is always up to something fun on the weekends. you can follow her on facebook, instagram and twitter. she also posts some really helpful on the go forecasts and climate stories as well.
