leader in his community and a pioneer here in san francisco, and as you mentioned, we are told that he passed away peacefully yesterday at the age of 94. but his impact goes far beyond his years here, and it is expected that those in the community will carry on his work. now, his legacy goes far beyond the african american civil rights movement in the city, it goes beyond the challenges of poverty. he is being remembered for the life he brought san francisco, the bay area, and to the world. the tributes for the legendary reverend began to pour in as soon as news of his death became public. last night the congregation at glide memorial leaning on one another during this time of loss. pictures in front of the church pulpit gave a glimpse of the life he leaves behind. he came to san francisco in the

1960s and co-founded glide with his late wife, janice. he was a champion of the homeless community, a supporter of lgbtq rights. he broke down barriers and gave a voice to the marginalized as a long-time pastor at glide in the tenderloin neighborhood. glide church went beyond sunday sermons. it provides a wide range of social services, including preparing thousands of free meals every single day. former san francisco mayor brown says the reverend knew what worked for his community. >> cecil understood exactly how to make the church work with that group of people and for that group of people to work within the church. >> reporter: glide memorial says the reverend passed away with his family and friends by his side, and the congregation plans to honor him by continuing to help those that he served for so

many years in his life. we're also told that a memorial is in the works. we do not have the details on that. but as soon as we do, we will update you, especially online at nbcbayarea.com. marcus and laura, so many in san francisco really feeling this loss. >> the legacy will live on. >> completely. he was a great, great man. >> thank you. opponents of alameda county d.a. pamela price will hold a rally later today ahead of meetings meant to set a date for the recall election. supervisors are expected to set a date by the end of this month, and it's possible it will be a part of the november general election. last week recall organizers learned they collected enough signatures for that vote to happen. at this point we know it will happen sometime this year. price, meantime, is staying the course, following through on what she believes is a mandate for restorative justice in alameda county. at a news conference yesterday

she announced dozens of death penalty cases may be overturned due to what she claims is potential misconduct during jury selection. price says prosecutors often intentionally exclude black and jewish people from juries and says this happened over a four decade span. she said her office will review 35 death penalty cases. >> many people did not receive a fair trial in alameda county, and as a result, we have to review all of the files to determine what happened. we recognize how terrible this is and it is something that we have to make right. >> price also says her office is reaching out to victims and survivors and it's not yet clear how long the review process will take. well, today marks day six in the historic criminal trial of former president donald trump. he's expected back in court after the prosecution and defense made their opening statements. trump faces 34 counts related to falsifying business records and

to hide hush money payments made to former adult film star stormy daniels. he's pleaded not guilty in the criminal charges. his defense says he made payments to michael cohen for a retainer agreement. prosecutors claim that was all a scam to cover election fraud in the 2016 presidential election. this trial is expected to last four to six weeks. tonight people who died or were injured by drunk drivers will be remembered in contra costa county. across the bay area, this is how many people died or were seriously injured in dui crashes, on average in each of the last three years. santa clara county had the most with 140 people. alameda close behind. napa had the fewest at 24. the group mothers against drunk diving say these are not just numbers, they were people who died during crime and it was 100% preventable. >> every single person impacted,

that person belongs to a family, was in the community, was a coworker, mother, father, child. this can happen to anyone. no one is immune. >> madd is hosting a candlelight vigil tonight at the contra costa county deputy sheriffs association in martinez. now to a live look at palisades tahoe ski resort and the current ski season is a boon for resorts, but it may not be the case going forward. to mark earth day, meteorologist kari hall has been looking at our climate in crisis. today the focus is on snow levels and fears about the declining snowpack. >> warmer temperatures for the sierra could mean much less snow. in the past, we've seen cold winter storms with higher snowfall totals during the month of december through february. but as temperatures rise, snowpack is expected to decline,

with only february as a big snow producing month. recently we've had two years of heavy snow, but the elevation of where we're seeing that snow is getting higher and higher. let's demonstrate what the sierra snow could look like in 30 years. currently on average, the snow levels come down to about 5,000 feet, but in the year 2054, much of that snow may be 7,000 feet in elevation or higher, and below 6,000 feet, that could mean more rain and frequent events of flash flooding in the sierra. dr. schwartz with the central sierra snow lab tells us we need to prepare for a warmer future. >> when you look at the trends every month during our snow season, so october through may, back to the '70s, we can see that each of these months is warming, and that means we're transitioning away from snowfall as the dominant precipitation type to rain.

the one month where that isn't happening is in february. and we see cases of that. we saw it last year, we're seeing it this year. we are going to see more rain at the higher elevations up to that 7,000 feet. and depending on the storm, potentially above that. so we are going to see the likelihood of more flooding, big atmospheric rivers, even at higher elevations where there used to be snowfall. it's going to reshape the way we are living through these storms and experiences as a whole. >> our climate coverage continues all week long. join us for more stories on nbc bay area and on our climate in crisis page online. now let's check in with mike for a look at traffic. >> we're looking toward green sensors, and it looks like the earlier crash we talked about seems to be not a problem. windy in patches. watch out of the altamont pass. we look like we have a smooth flow of traffic here. something is going on with my

maps. i'm going to talk about closer to the bay bridge. you can see a blip of slowing in richmond, westbound 80, and i've seen slowing, dramatic slowing over the last couple of minutes. nothing reported from the chp but there are a couple of live cameras in the area and i believe we're looking at a smooth drive as you're passing by what is potentially a disabled vehicle. kari turned my maps back on. we're looking toward the bay bridge. once you pass the slow section, everything is fine at the toll plaza. that's teamwork, guys. back over to you. >> teamwork makes the team work, every morning here on "today in the bay." it's 5:11. relief for your budget. ahead, we're going to give you the reason you could see some prices at the grocery store drop and how soon to expect it to

good tuesday morning. right now at 5:14, we're taking a look at santa rosa and what to expect today. we are going to start out cloudy and breezy, temperatures in the low 50s. but we won't see much of a rise in temperatures compared to the past few days. here we're only headed for the low to mid-60s, so we'll talk about the drop in temperatures and when we could see some rain coming up in a few minutes. coming up, there's traffic at the bridge out of richmond to san rafael. it moves smoothly.

having traveled through richmond, i see a slower drive on the sensors. i believe there's a disabled vehicle on the shoulder or perhaps the slow lane. we'll track that and the build coming up. good morning. very happy tuesday to you. a lot of companies report earnings this week, tesla will do so after the bell today. the company has cut his business and development department. this is truth social. donald trump will get another billion dollars or so worth of truth social stock as a reward for keeping the price high, or higher. it's been fluctuating a lot. the reward system was part of the deal with trump. he cannot sell any of the stock. it's in lock-up, which is standard for these kinds of deals, and he can't use it as collateral against a loan or a court bond. speaking of truth social, trump posted yesterday that president biden was to blame for the so-called tiktok ban.

the senate votes on the issue today. president biden says he'll sign it into law. just so everyone knows, especially the young people, crooked joe biden is responsible for banning tiktok, he said. if you're thinking, hold on, didn't president trump propose as president banning tiktok? wasn't it originally his idea? yeah, it was. tiktok, meantime, running ads on tiktok. >> we're spending $2 billion to make sure we're keeping tiktok safe. we have a u.s.-led team, we have a third party, an american company, to store protected user data. >> our kris sanchez is going to have a lot more about tiktok coming up. google says it's fired more employees who protested the company's deals with israel. the "washington post" the first to report the round of cuts. some of the dismissed employees claim they weren't part of a group that occupied an office. earlier this month, google's ceo

warned, we are a workplace and our policies and expectations are clear. this is a business, not a place to act in a way that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe, to attempt to use the company as a personal platform or fight over disruptive issues or debate politics. especially the debate politics part, google used to encourage this sort of thing, particularly black lives matter, lgbtq, et cetera. and this is a very big pivot on the part of the google ceo. >> maybe i guess they just have limits. you don't storm offices. >> certainly not. >> thanks, scott. new for you, shoppers may finally see some relief at the grocery store. a report from economic experts expect global prices will decline this year. solid harvests have led to a

steady decline in prices with wheat futures down nearly 10% this year. farmers ramped up production following the spike in prices when russia invaded ukraine in 2022. as a result, harvests are expected to come in at record levels this year. and trending this morning, let's just hope football's best can be a good sport. >> we are talking about the pride of san mateo, tom brady soon will be skewered by friends in a new roast coming to netflix. >> we're coming for you, pretty boy. >> i'm unroastable. let's go! >> a live event, called the greatest roast of all time, tom brady. it will air next month on netflix. kevin hart will host. this will be the first time netflix dips its toes into the roast waters. it will air as part of the netflix is a joke series.

something to look forward to. >> remember roasts were a thing? >> and the comedy central had the series. >> it goes way back to don ripple. >> no roasting here. >> not even the temperatures. it's going to be cooler today and the next several days. we're going back to some more seasonable late april weather and we're going to also have more clouds developing as well. as we take a live look at the golden gate bridge, no issues with visibility. everything is looking great here. temperatures in the upper 50s. there will be some clouds overhead that will be with us throughout much of the morning and some peeks of sunshine as we approach noon. but the rise in temperatures will happen a lot more slowly today compared to the past. but we're still headed for 71 in san jose. but that's about 10 degrees cooler than it was yesterday afternoon. we had spots in the east bay that was in the low to mid-80s.

today we'll see a high of 70 in livermore, 70 in danville and 68 degrees in martinez. you can notice the drop in temperatures, with daly city up to about 63 and 65 in downtown san francisco, 64 in novato and 72 in clear lake. so cooler air settling in. we have a stronger ocean breeze. as we go into the next few days we'll see storms passing just to our north. we will have a slight chance of rain coming in, but overall a lot of the rain is staying from the north bay on northward, and high pressure passing just to our south. so overall we're going to have a very mild weather pattern. we are watching friday for a very slight chance of rain, a quick passing shower, mostly cloudy skies. but we'll also have slightly cooler temperatures. take a look at morgan hill and our ten-day forecast. if you like the warmer weather, it's going to be a while before we see it again, most likely not only early next week with low

70s. until then, we're looking at 60s for highs for many microclimates. it will be a nice weekend and highs in the low 70s for the inland areas. then for san francisco, we're staying in the 60s with at times clouds over the next few days. mike, you're picking up the volume on the bay bridge? >> westbound with taillights, a few more of them. no metering lights yet. nothing unusual on the span. beautiful view of the city. kari talked about the fact that it may be windy in patches. watch for that. chp does call out the altamont pass. calling out this section where there was a lot of slowing and now sudden clearing. we talked about one of the cameras, i believe there was a disabled vehicle. it looks like everything has cleared. the update i have, it was coming off of a dumbarton bridge and heading south on 880. it's a tight turn so someone didn't quite make it and went down the hillside. no major injuries. perhaps a couple of issues

developing out of the altamont. back to you. >> that was scary when you first talked about it. anticipation is certainly building ahead of the nfl draft this week. next on "today in the bay," the playbook the niners are counting on. also, we hear about the key players the team is hoping to acquire. first, school is not out for summer, but we here at nbc bay area and telemundo 48 are already working to help families who can't afford back-to-school supplies. we're collecting backpacks and other school supplies. we've made it easy. if you would like to help, just head to nbcbayarea.com to donate online. or you can check out the list of supplies we're collecting. you can also drop them off in person this thursday. it's going to happen from 2:00 to

that receiver brandon aiyuk may be on the chopping block. >> i've communicated our wish and our wish is he's here and part of the niners for the rest of his career. we're working through that and, you know, as such, i was a player once, and i never liked my business being out in the public. so i'm going to respect that. >> now, the raiders, meanwhile, have the 13th overall pick. some believe they may try to trade up and get a quarterback. the first round takes place on thursday. coming up, the top stories we're following today, including the new push to dismiss lawsuits involving the arrest of teens participating in last year's skateboarding event. one college campus shut down in california over protests over the israel/hamas war. we're here at uc berkeley where you can see a number

yesterday afternoon, so we're going back to mid-spring as we are going to see those highs in the mid-60s for the south bay, as well as in much of the north bay. so we'll talk about the changes ahead. mike, you were checking in on the altamont pass. >> three things on this map. it looks calm. we know about the slowing out of the altamont pass. we talked about wind as well. chp says it may be gusting. vasco road coming from the top of the screen, a little build, traditional about 5:30. there's a little bit of slowing. this crash, a few incidents we saw, it's west 580 around north flynn and a crash that's been there for a while in the center divide. there's not a lot of slowing past the scene. meanwhile, the rest of the bay showing a pretty smooth drive. bottom of the screen, a blip for san jose starts and patches throughout the east bay as well. no major problems. there's fremont and the flags in the breeze. >> thanks, mike. happening now, protests against the israel/hamas war are

growing on college campuses across the country, and right here in california. in some cases it's leading to arrests and even one campus shutting down. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell is live for us at uc berkeley where some of those students have set up camp. bob, talk about the demands they have here. are they specific demands? >> reporter: they are. good morning to you, marcus and laura. we're outside sproul hall here on uc berkeley's campus. initially we were told there's maybe ten camps. we believe these are students camping. clearly that number has grown. i would say there's at least maybe 40 tents. it's grown substantially overnight. this is a main part of campus where students come and go, so there's a lot of visibility. and these protesters are specifically asking uc berkeley to divesting themselves from companies that build weapons that might be used by israel against the palestinian people living in the gaza strip. now, we reached out to the campus, uc berkeley released

this statement, with three weeks left in the semester, berkeley is prioritizing students' academic interests. we will take the steps necessary to ensure the protest does not disrupt the university's operations. there are no plans no change the university's investment policies and practices. last night, up north at cal poly humble, that campus announced it was shutting down after students were chanting free palestine, barricading themselves, protesters set up tents and make-shift beds. this coming on the first night of the jewish holiday passover. activities are transitioning to remote where possible, campus will close through tomorrow. you can see in the statement from their website, they announced they were shutting down campus because of what they say is, quote, a dangerous and volatile situation. on the east coast, police arrested dozens of protesters at

new york university after those people refused to leave campus. nyu says what started with 50 people quickly grew, as protesters pushed through barricades. meanwhile, at colombia, also in new york city, the university's president calling for a reset to de-escalate. 100 protesters were arrested on friday. the school says all classes will be hybrid until the semester ends because of the unrest. now, since hamas' october 7th attack on israel, the fbi says the number of anti-jewish hate crime investigations in the united states has tripled and the bureau is particularly concerned lone actors could target gatherings during passover, which began last night. and temple beth abraham in nearby oakland ramped up security. >> the step we've taken to boost security has been the hiring of extra guards. we used to have guards during service times.

we now have guards at almost any time where there are people in the building. >> reporter: that was rabbi mark bloom, who says this passover the congregation did add security cameras and secured windows and doors. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you for the very latest, bob. new this morning, san francisco attorneys next week will ask a judge to throw out legal claims tied to the controversial police response to last year's hill bomb skateboarding event in the mission district. the unsanctioned event was chaotic and escalated when officers responded to reports that the gathering had become dangerous. in total, 113 people were arrested, 81 of them juveniles. at the time, skateboarders described it as an abuse of power and at least four are now suing the city, claiming their civil rights were violated. san francisco police chief bill scott remains the response of those officers fell within the bounds of the department's

policies. 5:36. happening today, a man convicted of tossing pipe bombs at police during a wild chase across the bay area is expected to be sentenced. the chaos unfolded last october, that's when investigators say this man, daniel garcia, first attacked a parishioner inside st. peter and paul's church. he later led officers on a wild chase from san francisco to martinez. during the pursuit, he threw multiple explosives at officers from his car. he faces up to 14 years in prison. on capitol hill, the senate is poised to vote to advance the $95 billion package to provide aid to ukraine and israel. and it comes as a provision which would lead to a nationwide ban on tiktok. for lawmakers, it's about national security concerns. but a lot of content creators are concerned about their

livelihood. >> kris sanchez joins us with what is at stake. >> reporter: good morning to you. i don't think anybody thinks that tiktok is just going to go away. this is really about our u.s. lawmakers thinking that tiktok just has too much access to our private data. now, as you well know, tiktok collects data as you are using the site. there are 170 million of us here in the united states who use tiktok, and how we consume that content, what devices we use, how long we watch posts, and what kind of posts we like all need their algorithm. the problem lawmakers have is that the chinese government potentially has access to some or all of that data. the house already passed the bill that would require bytedance to sell its stake within a year or face a national ban, because asking bytedance to protect americans' data really isn't realistic. >> the problem is that when bytedance decides to create a

wall to block u.s. data from leaving the united states, it's like asking the wolf to build a safer hen house. >> reporter: a lot of us just watch funny videos, but people make a living off of tiktok. this woman says it saved her family during the pandemic when she could not get work. she is just one of the millions of content creators who depend on the platform and who tiktok is trying to rally. they are asking them to hold strong and put pressure on lawmakers. the senate will vote today. the house already passed it. president biden has said that if it comes on his desk, he is going to sign it. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> we'll see what happens. thanks, kris. well, a surprise settlement involving disgraced crypto king sam bankman-fried may soon strengthen the civil cases against a slew of celebrities who endorsed the exchange. bankman-fried recently received

a 25-year prison sentence. now jilted investors have agreed to drop their civil claims against him in exchange for his cooperation in a lawsuit tied to others. those include steph curry, tom brady, larry david and shaquille o'neal. bankman-fried will be freed from any liability for providing evidence in any current or future litigation. today oakland is breaking ground on a new housing development which will make it possible for some of the city's most vulnerable residents to make it in the bay. the groundbreaking and at 11:00 this morning on 12th street in the meritt east lake neighborhood. the application process is regulated, but it will be open to people living on social security alone or for households making $84,000 or less, which is considered low income for our area. >> it includes everyone from folks who were formerly homeless to people who are making minimum

wage jobs and can struggle to survive in the bay area. so it really has a broad spectrum of affordability. >> this is a public/private partnership. the east bay asian development corporation, along with the university council and jordan real estate investment. on the public side, there are 16 different agencies. the project also represents one of the first payouts from measure u, which oakland voters passed in 2022. through the partnerships, we'll see improvements to the streetscape, b.a.r.t. and ac transit in that area. let's take a live look outside this morning. it's 5:40. meteorologist kari hall has a look at what we can expect from this forecast. kari, pleasant out there this morning. >> we can already see a few clouds moving by this morning, and also the wind has picked up quite a bit. most of our winds at about 10 to 15 miles per hour, but may get a little higher as we go toward late morning into the afternoon. temperatures now in the upper

50s, and we will see those high temperatures in spots like fremont, going from upper 50s to low 70s for today. dublin, 69 degrees. in san mateo, 66 degrees, and 64 in novato, while napa will see a high of 66. into the day tomorrow, temperatures don't change too much. we're mostly in the upper 60s. then on thursday, we still see the cooler temperatures continue. mike, no more spring break at the bay bridge? >> no, the traditional schedule here, as we're looking at the backup. the metering lights turned on just a few minutes ago and quickly from the metering lights to the toll plaza, and now approaching the toll plaza, the middle lanes spreading to the edges. we show the slower sensors, indicating more traffic coming down from the upper eastshore freeway. also pushing out of mare island, which this is going to have the closure again this weekend, just like last weekend. it's westbound. you're going to use 29 to 12 and back down to 121 all weekend.

we're looking toward the traditional build for highway 4, extending from pittsburg into bay point and concord. a reminder, no more golden gate ferry service between san francisco and sausalito, until they can do whatever they need to do to repair the pier. so that is a bus bridge in place instead. check the golden gate ferry website for more details on the project there. tonight we have another game at oracle park at 6:45. the rest of the day moves very nicely. back to you. >> thanks, mike. it is 5:42. decreasing the effects of fossil fuels and helping one ocean mammal thrive. ahead on "today in the bay," the bay area students working to help our climate in crisis by leading projects of change. plus, preparing for the next major heat wave. the new tool being introduced to help us all get the information. and in politics, could florida turn

happy tuesday to you. it is 5:45. let's take a live look outside in san jose. already seeing clouds this morning and our trend shows that it will be mostly cloudy through about 10:00. after that, we're seeing a mostly sunny sky, but temperatures won't be nearly as warm as yesterday. staying mostly in the 60s. we'll talk about the cooler changes and where we may see a little rain in the forecast coming up. this is 101, of course, just

about 280. a little closer to oakland road. we have that slowing that typically kicks off this time of morning. there is a build for the south bay. i'll show you what's coming your way coming up in a few minutes. new this morning, new legal fallout in the battle over liability from the deadly baltimore bridge collapse. six people died in the collapse and rebuilding the bridge will take years. but now attorneys for the city of baltimore are filing a new legal claim arguing the ship's owners should be fully responsible. that could include criminal liability. the ship's owners recently petitioned a u.s. district court to limit their liability. but the new filing suggests the ship's owners used a ship that was not seaworthy. the coast guard and ntsb investigations are ongoing. president joe biden is headed to florida, which will vote on access to abortion this november. >> and scott mcgrew, florida

will vote at the same time as the presidency. >> it's great timing for democrats, and the same is true for arizona. both the abortion question and the presidency on the same ballot. democrats are pretty sure the abortion question is going to bring out more democrats, and president biden will benefit. florida has consistently voted for the republican in the past few elections and is suddenly in play. president biden will head to tampa, where he will blame republicans for florida's new tough anti-abortion law. now, the whole speech is designed to keep abortion in the headlines. but no doubt, president biden will be met by, perhaps interrupted by protesters, angry at his policies over israel and palestinian. some americans are concerned u.s. policy expects one set of standards for human rights in israel and a far higher set of
