starting. now, locally, that could include parts of alameda county, parts of contra costa county, and a very small section in santa clara county. and firefighters say that that fire risk is already real. the hills in the east bay look much different than they did even weeks ago. they're already getting dry and now wind is expected to move in. we're still monitoring. we're really looking at the weather, at the dry conditions and at dry vegetation in these areas, really focusing on the winds, pg&e says. as part of their fire mitigation plans, they're now notifying customers they may need to cut the power to cut the risk. in some areas, the agency says those preemptive power outages would be targeted and largely focused on more rural areas here in the bay area, primarily in alameda county, contra costa county, and a very, very small group in

santa clara county. it would be fewer than 1000 customers bay area wide, but again, a psps has not been called. my landlord texted me that we spoke with ivan lozano near livermore today. he says he's heard the warning and says he thinks he's ready to react. if a fire sparks here. i think, i think i know where to go and who to contact. today's the hottest day of the week and that's driving the fuel. as you can see, even behind us, to be critically dry with tomorrow. with the change in the weather pattern, we're going to see an uptick in winds. matt thor, battalion chief with the livermore-pleasanton fire department, tells us the high volume of rain this winter sparked a lot of new fuel for fires. with the absence of rain this spring and the volume of rain that we got throughout the year, the fuels are already dry, as you can tell by the grass around us, and we just want to make sure people are extra vigilant. and the dry spring has now triggered conditions that have already led to a number of

small grass fires. now they're reminding people to be cautious and not let their guard down. the expectation is that the weather is expected to change in the morning. reporting live near livermore. christie smith, nbc bay area news. thank you. christie and meteorologist vianey arana will have much more on what to expect tonight and this week. weather wise, in just a couple of minutes. you can also download our nbc bay area app to get timely weather updates, as well as breaking news alerts on possible power shutoffs. just scan that qr code on your screen to get started. the trump administration is in another legal battle. this time it's over its plan to close 120 job corps training sites across the country in a matter of weeks. the move will impact students right here in the bay area, and that's why a group of them are now challenging the order in court. nbc bay area's robert honda joins us from san jose with what's at stake. job corps centers across the country, including here in san

jose, are on borrowed time, with the deadline to close extended a couple of different times. but the lawsuit filed today could disrupt that timetable or possibly eliminate it altogether. the job corps programs have focused on so-called underserved communities. about 4500 of its 25,000 students were homeless before being accepted into the program, which offers training in numerous industries including transportation, health services and even homeland security. but the labor department has said job corps has had financial difficulty and safety concerns. today, a judge extended the closure deadline until at least june 25th, and now some job corps students plan to fight the closure order in court. an attorney for the law firm representing the students says the lawsuit shows the students are being harmed. and then the legal argument in the lawsuit is that the trump administration has exceeded its authority in closing these centers and kind of pulling the rug out from

under these these students. and that claim or that argument is made under a federal law called the administrative procedures act that just basically says you can't just snap close these centers. you have to do it in an orderly way. and in fact, congress has said there are specific steps that you have to follow before you can close the job corps centers. the director of the south bay labor council says these job training programs are crucial. these programs create pipelines for good jobs. that means that there are companies relying on these employees to fill their future needs. and if we rip out the support that these job training programs offer, we're also ripping out and eliminating support for families and for housing. if the lawsuit can stop the imminent closures at the d of the month, then mckoy says job corps supporters can focus on challenging the president's authority and possibly prevent the closures. but the attorney also points out congress must

still approve funding the program in order to keep the doors open in san jose. robert honda, nbc bay area news. a first today in san francisco, the citbroke ground on two separate affordable housing projects on the same day. the city, along with mid-pen housing, have been working with the state to identify and transform underutilized spaces into housing, and today they broke ground on two sites which used to serve as parking lots. the sites will create 167 units, which will all be affordable housing. the site at 750 golden gate will specifically prioritize educators and school staff. a second lot at 850 turk will provide nearly 100 affordable homes for families. this is h we solve our housing crisis, unlock underused public lands, make bold partnerships, and move fast to deliver results. today's groundbreaking is phase one. developers will also be adding a third building

to the 750 golden gate site, bringing t total to more than 260 affordable housing units. nonprofit mid-pen housing will also provide on-site services, including workforce development and connections to resources. well, the federal reserve made no change to the interest rate, keeping it where it's been since december. rates are now between 4.25 and 4.5%, leaving it unchanged for its fourth straight meeting. the fed says it's holding rates steady to gather more data as the effects of tariffs kick in. it expects inflation to remain high. and that being said, the fed is hoping to cut rates twice this year. it takes some time for tariffs to work their way through the chain of distribution to the end consumer. a good example of that would be goods being sold at retailers today may have been imported several months ago before tariffs were imposed. so we're beginning to see some effects, and we do expect to see more of them over coming months. the federal reserve estimates the key rate could drop to 3.4%

in 2027. well after that announcement, a mixed bag for the major indexes. the dow jones lost 44 points, while the tech heavy nasdaq added 25 points and the s&p 500 slipped just one point. president trump is contemplating whether america will get involved in the israel-iran conflict while the world waits. israel and iran continue to exchange fire, and lawmakers on capitol hill are debating whether the president has the power to order a strike on iran unilaterally. nbc's ryan nobles is tracking the latest developments from washington. as rockets rained down in israel and iran. president trump weighing all his options to keep iran from building a nuclear weapon, according to several current and former administration officials. that includes a possible u.s. military strike. i may do it. i may not do it. i mean, nobody knows what i'm going to do. trump spoke with israeli prime minister netanyahu yesterday. he said, keep going, president,

saying he's running out of patience with iran and called on the country to surrender. in a recorded message aired on iranian tv, iran's ayatollah khamenei scoffed at the idea and said that if the u.s. intervenes, that would cause irreparable damage. but the trump administration has been in talks with iran for weeks. nothing came of them. and i said, why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? trump allies backing the president if diplomacy fails, use force. but the president may need diplomacy within his own party. on capitol hill, republicans joining democrats on a resolution to require the president to get congressional approval before any action. we should have some say so about it, especially if it if it's in involves possible world war three, in which it could and he's fully within his authority to act in that manner. and that is what the commander in chief is supposed to do. and while the president urges civilians to leave tehran, u.s. officials are coordinating planes and ships to take

americans out of israel, because this is something that's never happened before with all these ballistic missiles. obviously, it was not safe to stay there. i had to just come back and back here on capitol hill. defense secretary pete hegseth would not reveal the details of the administration's options, but said that once the president makes a decision, the military will be ready to act. ryan nobles, nbc news, washington while president trump decides how to deal with iran, defense secretary pete hegseth went before the senate armed services committee. this his fourth trip to a capitol hill hearing this month. the hearing was supposed to focus on the defense department's budget request, but senators asked questions on various topics. hegseth got into heated exchanges with democratic senators during his testimony about the defense department budget. he said the budget will end four years of what he calls underfunding from the biden administration. 25 years ago, our military was unchallenged, yet we squandered that advantage as china carried out an

unprecedented military buildup. president trump is correcting that. we're reviving our defense industrial base, reforming our acquisitions process, rapidly fielding emerging technologies and new weapons to meet the challenges of the future. before the hearing started, a protester briefly caused a scene before being escorted out. waymo could soon be hitting the streets of new york. the company has filed a permit for autonomous vehicle testing in manhattan. the plan is to first drive the cars with a trained specialist behind the wheel. new york state law currently prohibits a service like waymo to operate without a driver. if the permit is granted, it would be the city's first testing of autonomous vehicles. waymo currently operates in phoenix, la, austin and san francisco and just expanded to parts of the peninsula yesterday. still ahead, a major ruling by the supreme court involving transgender rights. what the justices decided today that will be felt among the transgender community in all 50 states. and

transgender care for minors and delivering a major blow to transgender rights. the six three ruling is likely to have a broad impact, as 24 other states have already enacted laws similar to the one in tennessee, which bars gender transition surgery, puberty blockers and hormone therapy. nbc's julia ainsley has the details from

washington, d.c. the supreme court delivered one of its most consequential decisions of this term this morning, ruling in a63 opinion led by the conservative justices that it upheld a senate bill from tennessee, from the state senate and tennessee that prohibits medical care, for gender affirming care for minors who are seeking to change the gender from the body they were born into. it specifically prohibits doctors from administering puberty blockers that would keep a child from undergoing puberty to become an adult, male or female, if they do not believe that is the body they were born into. now, the dissent, led by the court's three liberal justices, said that instead s.b. one, that bill from tennessee deserved scrutiny under the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment because they say that it should be scrutinized to see if it discriminates based on the basis of sex. now, the conservative

justices say this is not a matter of sex. in fact, doctors can still give these this care to minors in this case, equally, just not forhe purpose of treating gender dysphoria or other prognoses that may ce from a child who identifies as transgender. but in an interesting dissent led by liberal justice elena kagan, she says she's not sure if sb one would be struck down if the court applied the 14th amendment equal protection clause only that it deserves that scrutiny. but as of today, we may see more conservative state legislatures trying more bills like sb one and tennessee. some have already passed, some who will try to push this forward. now, knowing that the supreme court has given the green light to allow states to prohibit transgender and gender affirming medical care to minors. meantime, the trump

administration is shutting down the national lgbtq youth suicide lifeline, the substance abuse and mental health services administration announced the national 988 crisis lifeline will no longer utilize its press three option. starting july 17th. the press three option rolled out in 2022, in partnership with the trevor project, which provides suicide prevention and crisis intervention for lgbtq plus people. the agency said it will, quote, no longer silo lgbt+ youth services, notably removing the t representing the trans community in the acronym. the administration insists that impacted youth can still receive help, but from the general hotline number. could apple's next big thing be a folding iphone? a leading industry analyst says apple has plans to make a folding iphone starting next year, but that the plan isn't locked in. the iphone makes up over half of apple's business, accounting for 201 billion in sales last year.

however, iphone revenue peaked in 2022, and apple is looking for new ways to attract customers. several of apple's rivals, including samsung, have had folding smartphones since 2019. research firm trendforce said folding smartphones, though, made up less than 2% of all phones sold last year. it's a genius idea. we used to have folding and i used to never pocket dial anybody, and now i pocket dial people all the time. bring back the blackberry and the sidekick. i love the blackberry. mine was bedazzled. i got it bedazzled at the mall. i'm here for it. yeah. okay. why does a customer need options? we need options. okay, let's t talk about our weather. we're actually going to start cooling down, but the winds are picking up, so they're still fire danger out there. exactly. and you know, just as we forecasted, we saw the heat today. now, as far as our official daytime highs. and if we manage to beat any daily record highs, we're waiting for the official numbers to come in. i think we may have that at 530, but i can tell you it's still very warm. but showcasing our microclimates gives you an idea of who's feeling the heat and who's not

really feeling the heat. typical spots that are much cooler san francisco at 66. however, if you look at the wind speeds from the west northwest, very gusty already at about 25mph. meanwhile, comomparison look at san jose about 80 degrees, and then we bump up as much as 15 degrees to one of our warmest spots, and that being walnut creek at 94 degrees. so as we inch into tonight, things will cool off. but even then, i mean, look at this hour in livermore, still running about nine degrees warmer just compared to the past 24 hours as that ridge of high pressure began to build, we're now going to change weather patterns and we're going to get the influence of some cooler air settling in, but also gusty onshore winds. now, satellite verifies exactly what we're seeing on our live cameras, and that's those clear skies. if you're going to be out about in san francisco, the wind speeds will be sticking around. getting gusty through tonight into tomorrow and friday. those temperatures will drop off into the 50s. and if you look, the skies will remain mostly clear in walnut creek. when do you get relief? well, we're still at

about 94, but eventually dropping off by 7:00 into those 80s. and then we'll get some cooling into the 70s and 60s with those clear conditions. but here's where the big changes start to happen wind wise, which is what we're concerned for in chino. head into thursday and friday already seeing some gusty winds for some parts of the north bay mountain areas. and then as we get more wind and cooling, we've also got low humidity in inland areas. and keep in mind those three factors that we always mention, aside from just the temperatures, we've also got to keep a close eye on the winds, the humidity. and by tomorrow afternoon this is looking at about 5:00 pm. look at what we start to see up in the north bay mountains. those gusty winds get stronger, especially for some of those higher elevation areas above 1 to 2000ft for the north bay, the east bay, but also the interior valleys and around the coastline. and that is where we tend to also see the lowest humidity. we're talking about the interior spots right here, where these gusty winds begin to pick up. and that also verifies on our models. if you look around san francisco, even into

parts of the coastline and oakland, those percentages stay well above that 70 to 80. we tend to see a beautiful recovery overnight. but as we look ahead to about 4:00 pm, when the sun really starts to warm us up, even though we're going to be cooler, those humidity levels start to dip down into those 30s. for areas like concord and fairfield and santa rosa 23%. we like to keep this number above 30%. ideally, when we think about those grasses, the moisture levels. consider that now as we inch into tomorrow morning, patchy clouds, mainly around the coast, we're going to be clear. sunrise is going to be beautiful. mostly sunny. the winds start to pick up by noon. we're still going to manage to warm up into some 70s and 80s, but nowhere near the heat that we saw today. we're going to manage to be a bit more comfortable in the long range outlook. right now. t pattern shows dry conditions remaining in through thursday and friday. but then as we look ahead into saturday, there is a possibility of a late season storm. right now the model runs are showing. you can see the green just to

our north there, that system staying a bit more to the north, but we're going to keep a close eye on it in case it decides to dip down into parts of far ukiah, possibly mendocino county. the 7-day forecast is breezy through friday, and then the temperatures start to slide into more seasonable pattern inching into the weekend. and friday is the official start of summer at 7:42 p.m, so be careful. 87% of fires, according to climate central, are started by people. we don't want any of that. i love how you and the other meteorologists know exactly the time that the summer is going to start. yeah, okay. thanks, vianey. well, coming up, could a quick test help determine how long you'll live? the exercise that experts are pointing to that may lead to some

healthy can help prevent falls. a simple test may help predict how many years you have left to live. that is according to the exercise medicine clinic in rio de janeiro. here's how it works. sit down on the floor, then stand up without using your arms, hands or knees. researchers say the movement is a way to determine non aerobic fitness and reveals potential problems that might otherwise be missed. the team gave the test to 4200 people ages 46 to 75. they checked in with them 12 years later and found those who scored low had died from natural causes. that was about 665 people. the report, published in the european journal of preventive cardiology. the white house is getting a bit of a makeover. we're going to
