escalating conflict. plus, crews remain on scene after a fire broke out in contra costa county, burning dangerously close to homes where containment stands this morning as evacuations are lifted. also tracking hurricane eric this morning, a category three hurricane that's expected to make landfall in southern mexico. we are monitoring the major storm and the impact it's set to have. this is today in the bay. thanks so much for joining us on this thursday morning i'm kris sanchez. i'm in for marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. good to have you. first let's start out in eastern contra costa county, where evacuation orders have now been lifted in the wake of a fast-moving brush fire that threatened homes. it started sometime around 7:00 last night around somersville road near antioch. it burned more than 290 hundred acres before firefighters managed to stop the forward progress. firefighters say for people who live nearby

suffered minor smoke inhalation while all nearby homes were saved. the fencing along some of the properties was destroyed. for people who live there, it s all a little too close for comfort. that's crazy. as i drove more down, i see a lot of families evacuating, grabbing their kids luggage. just a lot of stuff, a lot of tears. a lot of people crying. firefighter say strong winds and dry grass fueled the flames, and the conditions are expected to linger. the fire is now 50% contained. as soon as today, about 1000 bay area pg&e customers in rural areas may feel the impact with power shutoffs. our bob redell will join us with a live report covering that aspect in our next half hour. and it is 502. we want to check in with cinthia pimentel, who is following that possibility of power outages. yeah. and we see the psps watch right there orange on your screen. so for coco alameda, santa clara. and we also have some people that trickle on into

the bay area. so i wanted to mention san joaquin county also included in this. and of course it's for those gusty and dry conditions. now if we take a look now at those wind speeds out there towards antioch and the delta, it is a little breezy, but a little bit of that recovery overnight, which also helped to bring down those temperatures, suppressing a little bit of that fire out there, back down into those upper 50s and 60s, compared to the very warm 90s that we saw out there in the east bay yesterday. now, what i'm watching for today and a little bit into the first half of our weekend as we go on and wrap up spring, get into summer. it is always an elevated fire danger, but i'm not expecting any extreme levels for now. it is going to be a windy day about 50 mile an hour. gusts above those 2000ft. east bay hills, an area that we are pointing out for today. now, as far as that fog and the recovery that it lets us do overnight, as well as keeping those 100 away. so no extreme heat, no extreme fire danger for now. it's something that i'll continue to watch on into the

weekend. i'll, of course, have the latest on eric that we mentioned at the top of the hour and our full microclimate forecast. and you can always track the wind and fire danger on the go just by downloading our free nbc bay area weather app. all you have to do is scan that qr code on your screen to get personalized push alerts right to your phone. kris. thank you cinthia. now breaking overnight, as we mentioned, an iranian missile hit a hospital in the israeli city of beersheba. dozens of people are reportedly hurt, and although the official extent of the damage is not official, the windows are blown out. heavy smoke was seen for miles. all hospital buildings were closed except for life saving care. as iran and israel continue to exchange fire. president trump is weighing his options on whetr the u.s. will get directly involved in that conflict. lawmakers battling over restricting his authority to unilaterally make that decision. today in the bay's alice barr joins us now from washington. alice gop is pretty split over this issue about

whether going to war at this point is the right thing for the u.s. kris they are. and there are those on either side of maga world who are coming down pretty divisively on this, because there are many who believe that iran, just, no matter what, cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. but then there are those who say it's kind of not america first to get involved in another middle east conflict. a senior admiministrati official tells nbc news that at this point, all options remain on the table. iran's supreme leader warned any u.s. military intervention would be met by irreparable damage, and president trump is deciding critical next steps. this morning, israel assessing damage from a new round of iranian airstrikes hitting a major hospital in the south and areas around tel aviv. that after israel struck another target in the iranian nuclear program that it's seeking to destroy as president trump weighs whether the u.s. military will join that

mission. i like to make the final decision one second before it's due, you know, because things change. i mean, especially with war. the president meeting again with his national security advisers, considering whether to launch u.s. strikes on iran despite growing threats of retaliation. i may do it. i may not do it. israeli strikes have probably set iran's nuclear program back by a few months already, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter. but one critical underground facility would likely require an american bunker busting bomb. president trump suggesting he'd given iran an ultimatum and that the path is narrowing to a diplomatic deal that many on capitol hill want. we don't need to escalate an iran. that doesn't make anyone in the middle east safer, and it certainly doesn't make the united states any safer. growing division among republicans, with some backing military intervention. either you want them to have a nuclear weapon or you don't. and if you don't, if diplomacy fails, use

force. others, like congresswoman marjorie taylor greene arguing against another middle east entanglement. i don't want to get involved either, but i've been saying for 20 years, maybe longer, that iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. how close iran may be to developing a nlear weapon remains an open and pressing question. president trump said he thinks iran was a few weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, a projection at odds with the u.s. intelligence community that, according to two sources, still assesses that while iran has lots of enriched uranium, the government has not made a decision to rush toward building a nuclear bomb. kris so we're hearing from u.s. lawmakers, but we're actually hearing north korea weighing in on this as well. what do they say? yeah, a little strange to hear from north korea..mong the countries that are having their say, north korea condemning israel's strikes on iran. north

korea is one of iran's few allies and calls israel's actions, quote, a hideous act of aggression. that's all according to north korea's state run news agency. china, meanwhile, says starting tomorrow it plans to evacuate all of its citizens in israel to egypt. chris. all right. thank you very much, alice. we know you'll keep on top of it, bringing you a closer to home san jose mayor matt mahan is setting the record straight when it comes to efforts to clear a major homeless encampment. mayor mahan says crews will start sweeping columbus park next month. and the action we saw starting last friday was part of abatement efforts. he says the city is giving people who live in the encampment 60 days notice to find somewhere else to go, including new motels seto open. mayor mahan says san jose is trying to strike a balance. we're trying our best to find people alternatives to the streets. that being said, there are cases where somebody is in a park, next to a playground or a

school, or out blocking a sidewalk where we don't have the luxury of giving weeks of notice. we have to ask people to move. so we try to strike a balance of protecting public safety, public health, access to public space, while also recognizing that people who are out there are suffering and need help. and that's why our primary focus is building more interim housing and providing more services. i also asked mayor mahan about ice enforcement efforts in san jose and the way the city is responding. watch the full interview. it's coming up in hour today in the bay. 8 a.m. newscast this morning. it streams on roku, pluto and other platforms, including nbcbayarea.com. today we are marking juneteenth, which is a celebration of the end of slavery in the u.s. it is also a day to honor those who have long battled for civil rights. this morning we are honoring doctor amos brown, senior pastor of third baptist church in san francisco. brown has been a leader at the city's first black

baptist church since 1976. but since his days growing up in jackson, mississippi, he's also been a crusader for civil rights. he was arrested several times, protesting, even attended a class taught by doctor martin luther king. brown says his life's work has been motivated by a single idea. was that law? what's that dictum that you find in all of the eight major religions of the world? do unto others as you would have them do unto you. now, coming up tonight at five, we will show you the significant life changing event that brown is making after nearly a half century in the pulpit. many in mexico preparing for hurricane eric. right now it is on the southern pacific coast. it's made landfall in western oaxaca. people were boarding up windows, putting up sandbags and doorways. let's check in with forecaster cinthia pimentel. she's been tracking eric's path this morning. how's

it looking? yeah, it's looking pretty bad at this hour. just made landfall right there, as you mentioned, western oaxaca. so if you have any family members or are heading that way for any summer vacations in the next couple of days, it's going to be a rough picture. it is a category three right now. those winds at around 125 miles an hour, moving northwest at around nine miles an hour, and over the next couple of hours, even on into tomorrow, we could see areas right there along the coastline. so acapulco, also colima, getting some of those heavy rain bands and also those strong wind gusts watching out for that storm surge tt also paints a deadly picture, even if you are far away from the coast. so something to watch there with eric. the eastern pacific hurricane season started about a month ago, but still continues into late november. so a little bit different than the atlantic hurricane season. let's bring it back here. a good thursday morning to san jose. we are going to be looking at the cooling trend arriving for today on into tomorrow and a little bit for the weekend. so that was just a quick spike in those temperatures yesterday. we'll

continue to talk about the windy and dry conditions, especially for the coastline and those windy hills as well, bringing up that fire danger a little bit. of course, we do start summer tomorrow, so we'll talk about the weekend too, and some changes that we're looking. if you're heading north on those summer drive times. speaking of drive times, let's talk about what's going on in our traffic maps. no major accidents to talk about. we see a little bit of slowing there through the altamont. that is typical, but we'll watch for that caution little triangle under that 580 sign. as you can tell, as far as some drive times for the tri-valley, it's about a 24 minute ride. getting yourself from grant lane over on into 680 kris and laura. all right. thank you cinthia. much more news ahead on today in the bay, including the historic sale of an nba team, the billion dollar deal, shaking up a dynasty. it's wild. plus, celebrating 50 years of cinema history. a preview of the way fans are set to celebrate the beloved shark thriller jaws. also, six sets of

twins graduating together. ahead. we hear from them on what it's been like growing up together and what their plans are for the future. keep it here.

spring. let's go out towards livermore. 55 degrees right now and clear. feels nice to put down that window after a hot day yesterday. well, the picture changes today. it's a much more gradual warm up as we go

throughout the day. getting into our lunchtime hour, 70 degrees, we'll talk about the cooldown bay area wide, but also while the fire conditions will remain elevated. coming up. all right, we'll check back with you. thanks, cinthia. want to own a big piece of the los angeles lakers? the buss family, which has run the los angeles lakers for 46 years, selling a majority stake in the iconic nba franchise for a valuation of $10 billion. they're selling their majority ownership of the team to dodgers owner mark walter. if the sale of the lakers is approved by the nba would be the largest sale of any professional sports team since jerry buss 2013. death. his children have run the team, led by his daughter jeanie. as part of the deal, jeanie buss will retain a majority stake in the team. she plans to continue to act as the team's governor aftfter the sale of the team as well. according to nba bylaws, buss would need to retain at least 15% ownership of the team to remain in such a

role. wow. all the dallas cowboy cheerleaders are getting a pay increase. they are getting a 400% raise. the news was disclosed at the end of the season of america's sweethearts, that popular netflix docu series we probably have seen, which tracks the renowned team of dancers. the series, which debuted its second season yesterday, chronicled the cheerleaders push for better pay, putting a renewed spotlight on compensation issues that have long plagued nfl cheerleading squads. wow, that's worth a high kick right there. 400%. i wonder how much they were making for that big of a right. i don't think they were making a lot. all week long, the today show has been celebrating the 50th anniversary of the blockbuster hit jaws. and this morning, nbc's joe fryer is sharing a behind the scenes look at the movies and memories from the cast, extras and family members of those islanders. this week marks 50 years since the movie jaws was released. the film was

set on amity island, which was actually martha's vineyard. we're here speaking with locals who were involved with the production. they're sharing some behind the scenes secrets about the groundbreaking blockbuster and telling us some of their shark sized plans for celebrating. we'll bring you that story on today. make sure you stick around for the full story.t airs on the today show this morning, which starts, of course, at seven right after today in the bay. well, also trending this morning if you were at a high school graduation in central new jersey, it might have been thinking that you were seeing double or triple or sextuple. there were six sets of twins that walked across the stage yesterday. this is vidideo the walk through graduation that was held hours before the real thing. and many say the bond of these twins is a special one. basically, the only way people can tell us apart is by our hair color. since i'm since i'm picking, she's wearing red. he's always been there. you know what i'm saying? he's my best friend. oh, yeah. you know, he

always has my back, so it's always cool. like knowing that we could support each other and everything we do. i think there is a connection because we all, like, go through the same thing of, like, having a twin, having to share stuff. this could be a trend at the high school. seven sets of twins are on track to graduate as part of next year's senior class. what is in the water? yeah. no kidding. a lot of twins there. that's nice. they're so close. all right. a lot of people coming off a lot of graduations, most recently. warm yesterday, but cooler today. i know it was just that quick little hint of an early summer preview, but as we officially enter it tomorrow, it's going to be cooler. so if you didn't like the heat, we've got better news for you today in that microclimate forecast. let's step out the door right now in santa rosa, a crisp 50 degrees. as we go through the morning, you'll notice that it's not going to warm up as quickly as it did yesterday. so for that lunchtime hour, 76 degrees, if that's too warm for you, you can have lunch inside. as far as

everyone else, we're going to knock down those temperatures about 1015 degrees compared to yesterday. so along the coastline we're going to feel that breeze. 59 in half moon bay. our microclimates will be out 66 in hayward to those low 80s that pop up few in between 81 santa rosa, 82 in fairfield. so it's still going to be a little bit warm out there towards our driest areas of the bay. so we're talking solano county out there towards the tri-valley. also, the delta will do 80 in morgan hill, 73 in san jose. notice that that cooldown is even more as we go on into tomorrow, so i'm not too worried about the temperatures as far as our fir danger goes. the other thing that is worrisome is, of course, those gusty winds that pick up into the afternoon. so the areas that you see shaded in those oranges and purples along the marin coast, the peninsula mountains, also into the interior out there towards concord, the altamont pass, it is a little bit of a typical papattern th we see in those evening hours. so that's where those grasses still remain very dry. and that risk is very high

out there towards our mountains. overall, the regional risk above average. i've noticed some pepeople telling me it's it didt rain as much. and you're right, we could have gotten a little bit more water to keep those hillsides green for a little longer, but now they're all brown and dry. speaking of some moisture, let's go up and talk about what's going on this weekend. a little bit of a late season storm up there towards the pacific northwest, trickling in through parts of northern california. but for the bay, we're still going to stay pretty dry even on into next week. so check it out. that 7-day forecast for us here. juneteenth for our inland valleys will bring a much needed relief getting us into those mid to upper 70s, so we'll stay in the 70s for the weekend until about sunday on into next week, where we'll rebound those temperatures back into the 80s, but no extreme heat. san francisco and along the peninsula. if you've got plans there, prepare to hold on to your hats. windy and breezy on into the weekend. summer officially begins tomorrow with temperatures in those mid 60s. it will warm up slightly as we go on into sunday and into our next workweek.

let's talk about some drive times now. getting ourselves through the east bay. about a 15 minute ride from highway four to the bay bridge in all directions. really? from 238. also northbound 80 from 238 13 minute ride for you there. since it is juneteenth, muni is going to be running on that sunday schedulele. there no other alerts or changes that i know of right now for vta bar or caltrain, kris and laura. all right. double duty. thanks. well, do you know about what do you know about the water that is coming out of your tap? start with this baseline of either. this is what i know is in my water and is veryy importa to take out, or these are the unknown things that i want to be sure i can take out. next on today in the bay, we talk with an expert about what might be in your water and how to get it out. we have

a new glass. some tap water can be contaminated with lead or nitrates from agricultural runoff or pfas. what are known as forever chemicals and a taste test won't be enough to know. taste is not a great guide. we want to look at the water and see that it's clear we want to smell it. it's clear we can smell chlorine in the water, but a lot of the things that actually can be dangerous over time are not the things we can

taste. so how can you tell? your water utility is required to provide customers with an annual water quality report detailing where your water comes from. germ and chemical levels, and any violations. if you have a private well, contact your county health department for advice about testing. you can also call the environmental protection agency's drinking water hotline at 842 64797. there are a number of systems to remove chemicals from your tap water. the most intense is reverse osmosis, filtration, distillation, and ultraviolet treatment systems. choose the one that filters what you're most concerned about and cheers to your health. yes. coming up next, top stories that we're following for you today, including the search for a vandalism suspect who's caught on camera targeting police cars. ahead, the reason investigators say it could have been avoided. evacuation orders lifted here in

looming fire dangers. evacuations lifted for an east bay neighborhood following a fast moving brush fire. we're live on the scene with an update on the firefight as crews remain

there. also, the planned power outages today for parts of the bay area also ensuring safety this juneteenth holiday. the extra safety precautions police in the east bay are taking to make sure all celebrations are peaceful. plus, they said there were people with masks and hammers and it just everything happened so fast. a bold smash and grab at a jewelry store in fremont. the brazen way the thieves stormed in and the search for the suspects now underway. this is today in the bay. good thursday morning. thanks so much for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia, and i'm kris sanchez. i'm in for marcus washington. we want to get right to that top story, which is that brush fire that started in the east bay last night. this morning, crews remain on scene as first responders continue to monitor those conditions and look for hotspots. we've got live team coverage. cinthia pimentel monitoring the conditions near the fire as more windy

conditions are expected today. but first today in the bay's bob redell live near the scene of that fire near antioch. bob, any updates on containment? 50% contained. even though you can see behind me. the fire is out. we're on mallard court. this is a neighborhood here in the foothills of antioch, the largest intersection near here. just to give you some point of reference is somersville and james donlon. the fire started back behind us and went up and ended up in this canyon. so again, 290 acres are burned. and you can see it came very close to this woman's home here. she just came outside. she doesn't want to be on camera, but she was offering to show us just how close it came to her back. it didn't burn your house, did i get your fence. didn't get your fence. okay, good. so anyways, it came very close to these homes. no homes were burned. we know some backyard fences were destroyed and there was an evacuation order. but that evacuation order has been lifted. you can take some. take a look at this video of what the fire looked like last night. it started around 7:00 again. burned 290 acres, fueled by the

dry grass, strong wind gusts. again, no homes burned. some backyard fences were lost. people who live uin this area, they had to be evacuated. at one point, as i said, i were told some residents were transported out of the area with symptoms of things like smoke inhalation. the fire department says it will be keeping an eye on this area to make sure nothing reignites. again, 50% contained. earlier in the morning, i was able to see, i beeve, some fire trucks up here in the hills. i was in the dark. there's also a line of pink fire retardant about a block or two behind us. gives you a sense of what cal fire had to do. the aircraft coming in here just to protect those homes. so was the point is, no homes were burned. but it was a very serious situation. hence the reason why there was that airdrop. now, because the conditions are so hot, dry and gusty. pg&e is warning about the possibility of public safety power shut offs as soon as today. for parts of contra costa county where i'm at, parts of alameda county south of us, and a small sliver of santa clara county. now, the utility says

these preemptive power outages would be targeted and largely focused on more rural areas. we spoke with the battalion chief with the livermore-pleasanton fire department. he says that unfortunately, there's a lot of dry grass and new fuels for wildfires right now because of the heavy rains we received in the winter. 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. yeah, again, pg&e is not called for a public safety power shut off. this is only a warning. but if it does happen, the utility says it would be fewer than 1000 customers and those people would be notified in advance if they haven't been warned already. reporting live here in antioch. bob redell today in the bay. boy, you can really see how dry it is out there. thanks for the update, bob. so let's talk about the wind conditions this morning, checking in with

forecaster cinthia pimentel who's been monitoring that for us. yeah, right now it is still breezy, but it is that typical overnight recovery that we see. so there through the delta, concord, antioch area about 12 to about 25 mile an hour winds of course at the floor level doesn't feel as gusty. but the areas to watch as we go on for today will of course be those hilltops and also out there towards the coast. notice the contouring changes a little bit as we go to areas like bodega bay, point reyes, down through san francisco and continuing towards our driest and warmer spots of the bay area. as we go through today, also into the afternoon. and that's when they tend to break out. so that's an area to, of course, remain vigilant as we go through today and also into tomorrow. we paint this out to a wider picture of the bay and zoom it on in into friday. we are still looking at those gusty winds staying with us. so that fire threat, although the winds are the main concern for now, those temperatures are going to be cooling down as we go on into today and tomorrow, so i'm not

too worried there. just of course, always make that defensible space around your home and make sure that it is summertime using those grills on the paved surfaces. back to you, lauren kris. all right. thank you cinthia. juneteenth celebrations happening today across the bay area with the celebrations a reminder from authorities to celebrate safely. keep everything family friendly. today in the bay ginger conejero saab live in san francisco and ginger, how is the holiday affecting what's open and what's closed? well, good morning chris and laura. today is recognized as a federal holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the united states after the civil war. so we do have some important reminders for our viewers. take a look on your screen. government offices and services will operate under special hours, or they may be closed altogether. now, that includes a stock market, most banks as well as the dmv. there will be no mail delivery, but fedex and ups locations may be

open along with most retail stores. now, schools for the most part, are already out for summer break. at the same time, authorities are urging everyone to celebrate safely and avoid any violence like the kind that ended last year's juneteenth event in oakland. that is when gunfire led to chaos as thousands celebrating at lake merritt. 16 people were shot and injured. oakland police say this year they're adding more officers. the goal is basically to provide a safe holiday and make it a family friendly environment for all attendees. going over to the traffic and potential closures that we're going to have around the lake. there will be some closures around lake merritt. so we ask the residents, just be prepad for that day, june 19th, the entire day, to be prepared to make arrangements, because there will be more than likely some traffic restrictions. so among

other events today, a juneteenth heritage gala that starts at 530 in oakland that includes food, wine, live entertainment and a freedom awards presentation. there is a children's themed event happening at the children's discovery museum in san jose. and here in san francisco, there are a number of celebrations, starting with one this morning. it will be a longshore workers union event over in north beach that will have both oakland mayor barbara lee as well as san francisco mayor daniel lurie. there's also a party along market street later this afternoon, as well as a whole list of events and other places in the bay area, so make sure you check that out at nbcbayarea.com. guys, back to you. a lot going on. thanks so much, ginger. well, police say four suspects are now in custody, but more suspects are at large after a mob style smash and grab robbery targeting a fremont jewelry store. this happened last night at karma jewelers on mallory avenue. police say masked robbers used a

car to ram the front entrance, which they later left at the scene, and proceeded to smash display cases. with three store workers still inside stealing thousands of dollars worth of jewelry. the store is family owned, and family members say it's been there for more than three decades. of course, you can see blood, sweat and tears in many, many years of work. and, you know, within like less than a minute or something, 15 people come and just go break everything. she also told us that her mom, her dad, h her another worker were inside at the time, but fortunately no one was injured, just traumatized. police later spotted one of the suspect vehicles leading to those arrests. police in pittsburgh hoping surveillance video can help track down a vandal who targeted patrol cars. it happened about 530 on tuesday night. there was a man in a bright green, long sleeved t shirt throwing rocks at parked patrol cars. police say he came in on a bike. he caused about

$2,000 worth of damage. the head of the police officers union believes the case brings up safety concerns. we do have a parking lot that is unsecured. and we've always been concerned that someone could come in to our parking lot and do something like that. it's a concerning for the safety of the officers. you know, they they need to get off duty and go to, to be able to go to their cars in a safe manner. if you can identify the man in the video, you are asked to contact the police department. all new details in the search for a new permanent police chief for san francisco commissioners. now taking the first steps in that process. and that involves hiring a recruitment firm. firms have until tomorrow to submit their proposals. and this follows the resignation of bill scott, who recently left to become la's transit police chief. paul is now serving as the interim police chief for san francisco, and during a hearing last night, commissioners learned about the process. the police commission recognizes the importance of community input in

selecting the next police chief, and the firm selected will conduct up to five community meetings and an online engagement survey. these initiatives will gather valuable feedback from the community members on the desired traits and characteristics they wish to see in the next police chief. a final decision on the recruitment firm is expected next month, and once the finalists are announced, mayor danielle lurie will have the final say. let's take a live look outside sunset over the bay area. this is from the east bay in walnut creek. got a little taste of summer yesterday, at least inland. the official start of summer is what? tomorrow nit. cinthia. that's my favorite day of the year, because it's the longest day of the year. and it's on a friday, so we just get, like, 15 hours of sunshine. go out there and enjoy it, because i have to go to bed early to wake up on saturday. so there you have it. we are looking at the wind

to mountain view to check on our day. lots of sunshine, but those temperatures will feel cooler than yesterday. so if that little preview of summer wasn't for you, we're going to go into the afternoon and mountain view just hovering under 70 degrees. we'll talk about the full microclimate outlook and of course the weekend coming up in a little bit. as far as traffic right now, only things i was noticing was out towards highway four. two crashes up there and

also in through castro valley, y and something popping up there towards 80. so just be careful. we know that traffic is a little lighter with school being out, and we'll check on the rest of the bay area build coming up. a new milestone in the battle against hiv. federal regulats just approved a new preventative drug administered only twice per year. right now, hiv prevention drugs are taken either orally each day or by injection every two months. bay area biotech company gilead sciences has a new drug called its to-go, which can be injected every six months. it's also 99.9% effective. we spoke with ucsf hiv expert doctor monica gandhi, and she says there's still one big potential drawback to keep it from being a widespread option. the company has priced this medication too high. they give the price today as well, in conjunction with the fda

approval. and i'm worried with all these impending cuts to medicaid and other concerning things right now, that it may not be put on formularies of health insurance companies, including medicaid. doctor gandhi also says the cdc recently found an estimated 2.5 million people should be on hiv prevention drugs, but only about 300,000 actually are. oakland is taking new steps to stop speeding drivers in its city. it's installing 35 speed cameras at 18 locations by the end of the year. city leaders say the devices are going up in areas that are considered high risk and account for 60% of severe and fatal crashes. when the cameras are installed, there will be a 60 day warning period. after that, anyone driving more than 11 miles above the speed limit will be issued a citation. fines will range from 50 to $500. san francisco mayor daniel lurie new selection for planning director is reportedly not sitting well with everyone inside city hall. the mayor just

named sarah dennis phillips to replace rich hillis, who recently resigned. she is the executive director for the office of economic and workforce development. but according to mission local, during this week's closed door discussion to appoint her, three planning commissioners stormed out early. they later would not comment on why, but mission local also reports that the mayor skipped vetting or even naming other candidates, even though the chapter. the charter calls for at least three candidates to be named in the process. regardless of the controversy, other leaders are calling her appointment a big win for the mayos office. transgender advocates are organizing a rally tonight in response to yesterday's supreme court decision upholding a ban on gender affirming care for trans youth. the event starts at 6 p.m. on the steps of san francisco city hall. the rally is expected to include youth speakers and legal experts defending the rights of the trans community. many students are hoping that a judge will block the trump administration's plan to close job corps training

sites here in the bay area. job corps is a training program that aims to improve the lives of undersrserved cmunities, and it hosts about 25,000 students and provides on site housing. but the trump administration ordered the program to end closing 120 sites. a group of job corps students is challenging that order in court, arguing that the president does not have the authority to end that program. that claim, or that argument is made under a federal law called the adnistrative 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 labor department has said the program has struggled to address ongoing financial difficulties and safety concerns, and therefore needs to be shuttered. the 4th of july fireworks show at almaden lake park in san jose is canceled this year. council

member george casey, who represents the district ten where that park is located, is citing safety concerns. last year, a fire broke out, took firefighters hours to put it out. councilmember casey says emergency crews also had a difficult time responding to calls in the area because of the large crowds and hundreds of cars blocking the streets. san jose is still hosting other fireworks shows on july 4th, including lake cunningham park. i mean, it's nice to have those big official ones so that people don't feel tempted to set off those. that's true, and people always do. and you can get fined for that as well. absolutely. yeah. well, trending this morning, awaiting the arrival of a vip. that would be a very important player. coach trip. let's get it. rose parade road trip. there you go. caitlin clark in the indiana fever. leaving team headquarters yesterday for san francisco. tonight, they taken on the valkyries at chase center. the game, not surprisingly, sold

out. hopefully, the fever has cooled off a little after tuesday night's game against connecticut. get a little physical, including three ejections. it really escalated when clark was poked in the eye. did you see that? yeah. yeah, she responded and got slammed to the floor. the league did not issue any suspensions, however, and nobody was ejected in that moment, which was just seems so flagrant. yeah, exactly. it's rough. oh, yeah. a little passionate, but that's too much. the lad soon. it's tough though. that's tough. yeah. no, you can't poke somebody in the eyeball like that. and that's why i don't play sports. you just have to go like this. like the three stooges. so we. i know you were looking forward to friday because it'she longest day of the year. summertime. summer's here. best season. oh, man. june. the best month. the weather is not, you know, signaling summer just yet. i know it feels springy. i know we could have called it summer yesterday, but for tomorrow,

we'll call it spring once again. so there's some changes coming. but let's talk about the city. if you're going out there to valkyries, have fun. tickets are sold out. that's not fair. we're going to be looking at the cooldown and the gusty winds for this afternoon, so definitely bring a jacket. we're not only the game time, but also if you plan to stay for a late dinner there in the city. now it is a little bit of a patchy fog kind of morning out there towards sfo, so just check on those flight times if that will impact your flight to wherever you're going to start the weekend early. as far as today. our last day of spring. much cooler there. as we drop down those numbers. check it out 59. half moon bay with those gusty winds there by the san mateo coast. also the north bay coastline and through the interior mountains. so that's going to bring down our temperatures about ten maybe even 15 degrees in some of our warmer spots, 80 in concord, as well as down in morgan hill, 73 downtown san jose, and a nice feel out there towards santa cruz as well. we go up towards wine country. we'll do 70 in

napa and then in the sonoma valley. let's do 82 in santa rosa for today. so just keeping an eye on those windy conditions that we've been talking about all morning long and just doing your part, watching out for any possible starts of those fires. with the breezy afternoons, it's going to get breezy and cooler as we go on into tomorrow. there's a little bit of some late season rain up there towards the pacific northwest, so if you were heading for some road trips or even visiting friends and family up there to towards oregon and washington, that will be some of those showers that we watch on through as the heat from yesterday keeps on pushing out into other parts of further east from us and into next week, not really looking at any big changes. we still look at those seasonable showers there through the sierra. so if you're heading there early, maybe even for the 4th of july holiday, i don't know. you've got some free time on your hands. just expect some on and off showers now as we take it on through the next couple of days, there isn't any extreme heat. let's take a look at napa. over the next ten days, we will go to some upper 70s and 80s

comfortable through the weekend. not bad. just watch for a little bit of some warmer weather as we go on into the second half of next week, so those changes not really going to be felt as far as aside from the windy conditions through the city over the next couple of days, temperatures staying in those mid to upper 60s and just nice and comfortable. a little bit less of that wind going on into next week as far as our inland valleys. we'll call some mid to upper 70s for juneteenth. summer officially beginning tomorrow, although we said it will feel a little bit more spring like late spring into the weekend. not bad. upper 70s and 80s will carry us as we go on into monday, tuesday and wednesday as well. taking a look at some of our traffic cameras, golden gate bridge. we see a little bit of some patchy fog there, but overall clear. we talked about the changes. san mateo bridge tonight. those one on one off ramps in san mateo. so watch the sign for some detours, some drive times for you over our bay area bridges. everybody looking good from richmond bay bridge. san mateo shouldn't take you more than ten 11 minutes at tops. back to you. all right.

thank you. cinthia. happening now, the search continues in the south bay for a man who exposed himself on a vta bus. he is also accused of sexual battery against the bus driver. this all unfolded last wednesday. the santa clara county sheriff's department shared this surveillance video of the man. take a look here. we're not going to show you the exposure, but he reportedly got off the bus near king and tully after the incident. here you see his face. deputies hoping the surveillance video will help identify that man. texans waking up to a fireball overnight ahead at 6:00. all new video showing the moment a spacex starship exploded and details on what went wrong. plus, sweeping homeless camps in the south bay. i speak one on one with the mayor of san jose talking about his plan to get the unhoused off the streets. and don't forget we stream 24 seven. you can watch nbc bay area whenever you'd like on roku and other streaming
