some milder temperatures. here is a look at martinez and what to expect over the next few hours. we're going from 57 degrees to seeing a mix of sun and clouds throughout late morning, and temperatures headed for the mid to upper 60s for today. we'll see a high of 71 in san jose and fremont, concord 71, napa 66, and about the same in santa rosa. but compare this to yesterday and it will be at least 10 to 15 degrees cooler in spots. and tomorrow it's about the same. we will talk about when we may see some slight rain chances coming up. right now, mike, you have a serious crash you're tracking. >> we talked about the crash itself. we're talking about how it affects monterey highway and the coroner has been called to the scene, so northbound direction of monterey highway is closed just north of san martin avenue. that's going to affect local traffic and it may have more folks head toward north 101. we see a build farther south than we typically do. some folks might want to sake

away yesterday at the age of 94. he was a pioneer in san francisco who leaves behind a vast legacy. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live for us in the city this morning. he was truly a man who was really a life force for a lot of folks who just didn't have the voice. >> reporter: absolutely, marcus. reverend cecil williams was a beloved leader in his community, as well as a pioneer in san francisco. he died at the age of 94 yesterday, but his legacy will live on, as the community that he served for decades continues to fight its battles. let's take a look at that service that reverend williams gave to his community. williams took over glide church in 1963. it became known for welcoming hippies, drug users, transgender youth and other marginalized people of the tenderloin. a year later, williams helped create the council on religion.

in the '70s glide was central to the anti-war movement. in the '80s, williams led marches and gave voices to those impacted by the crack cocaine epidemic. glide was the first church in the country to offer hiv testing after sunday services. reverend williams retired last february. his legacy goes far beyond the work he did in the african american civil rights movement here in the city, as well as the challenges to poverty that he addressed. this morning reverend williams is being remembered for the life he brought to san francisco, the bay area, and the world. last night the congregation at glide memorial leaned on one another during this time of loss. pictures in front of the church gave a glimpse of the storied life that reverend williams leaves behind. glide church goes beyond sunday sermons still, providing a wide

range of social services, including thousands of free males every single day. the reverend knew just 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: glad memorial says that reverend williams was surrounded by family and friends when he passed yesterday. we're also told that a memorial is in the works, but we do not yet have the details on that. >> i'm sure whenever it happens, it will be well attended and well deserved. ginger conejero saab for us this morning, thank you. opponents of alameda county d.a. pamela price will hold a rally ahead of meetings meant to set a date for a recall election. supervisors are expected to set a date by the end of this month, and it's still possible the vote 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 only know for

certain it will happen sometime this year. in the meantime, price 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. that is 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 it happened over a four decade span. she says her office will now review 35 death penalty cases. it's not clear how long the review process will take. tonight, people who have 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 during dui average in each of the last three years. santa clara county had the most,

with 140 people. alameda was close behind. napa had the fewest at 24. the group mothers against drunk driving saying that people need to remember that these are not just numbers. they are people who died in crimes that were 100% preventable. >> every single person who has been 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. >> the madd is hosting a candle light vigil at 6:00 tonight at contra costa county deputy's association in martinez. the district attorney's office and chp for that region will also attend, among others. new at 6:00, a live look at the state capitol, where today mayors from some of the state's largest cities will ask for more funding to battle the homeless crisis. mayors from l.a., san diego and

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. let's make sure you can fill up with perhaps one of our better bargains. we'll look at the lowest for contra costa county in pleasant hill, $4.85 at arco. $4.97 is the lowest at mill valley hq fuels on shoreline. in santa clara, the low is under

banning tiktok as president? wasn't it originally his idea? yes, it was. now, tiktok running ads on tiktok telling tiktokers tiktok is safe. >> i'm the head of trust and safety for u.s. data security 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 and protect user data. >> our kris sanchez will have lots more coming up. google says it was fired more employees who protested the company's deals with israel. the "washington post," the first to report the new round of cuts. some of the dismissed employees say they weren't even in the group who occupied an office. earlier this month google's ceo had 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 and makes them feel unsafe. to attempt to use the company as a personal platform or to fight over disruptive issues or debate

you want to phrase it. it will be cooler for this afternoon. just a heads-up that things will be a little different and we're starting out with more clouds this morning. we will go back to sunshine later today, but at times those gusts may reach up to 25 miles per hour. and then tomorrow it's about the same, starting out cloudy, afternoon sunshine. more seasonable weather and it's kind of typical, the weather pattern we see this time of year. with our temperature up to 71 degrees, it's been so warm the past few days. now we look at these numbers and we're like, okay, this is normal. this is the reminder, this is our usual spring weather. we're up to 71 in walnut creek today, and 71 in fremont. mid-60s for oakland. in redwood city, 68 degrees. 63 in daly city and 65 in downtown san francisco. if you've been looking at that seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen, there will be slight rain chances toward the end of the week while temperatures continue more like

this over the next few days. what's happening, we have high pressure that's building off to our south and west, and we also have several storm systems that have been moving into the pacific northwest. we're getting that cooler air coming down and more clouds. but there will only be slight rain chances in our forecast. much of the rain looks like it stays to our north. we're watching late thursday into friday for that possibility of some very quick-moving and very light hours. not expecting a lot of rain, but indeed, it will be cooler. take a look at morgan hill and what to expect over the next ten days, going from highs in the mid to low 60s. there's not a significant warm-up as we go into next week. we're going to settle into this weather patterns with we go into the weekend. if you do have outdoor plans, there's a lot of festivals and it looks beautiful out there. san francisco will see temperatures in the low to mid-60s. mike, you're seeing the lanes fill in at the bay bridge.

"today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live from uc berkeley where some have already set up camp. do they have a specific demand for cal, bob? >> reporter: they do. they want them to divest, and

we're on sproul hall on campus, where there are a number of tents set up. these are definitely pro-palestinian protesters, most if not all are students. i believe there were ten tents when i was coming out, but i would say there's probably 40. this is the main part of campus where students come and go. there's a lot of visibility here. and these protesters, to answer your question, they're specifically asking uc berkeley to divest themselves from companies that build weapons that might be used by israel against the palestinian people living in the gaza strip. uc berkeley released a 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 to change the university's investment policies and practices.

last night, up north at cal poly humbled, they announced they were shutting down after students occupied the hall and barricaded themselves. protesters set up tents, makeshift beds, making their intention known they plan to stay the night. that protest coming on the first night of the jewish holiday passover. in-person classes and activities are transitioning to remote. the campus will close tomorrow. you can see from the statement, 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 protesters refused to leave campus. nyu says what started with 50 people quickly grew as protesters pushed through barricades. meanwhile, at columbia, that university's president calling for a reset to de-escalate.

100 protesters were arrested on friday. the school says all classes at its main campus 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. the bureau is particularly concerned lone actors could target gatherings during passover, which began last night. at temple beth abraham in oakland, they ramped up security. >> a step we've seen to boost security has been the hiring of extra guards. we used to have guards during service times and we now have guard at almost any time where there are people in the building. >> reporter: that was rabbi mark bloom, who says this passover his congregation added security cameras and secured windows and doors. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> a lot of info there. thank you, bob. new video at 6:00 going

viral. it appears to show a waymo car going the wrong way in downtown san francisco. take a look. >> wrong way, waymo! >> someone posting this video to reddit. the incident reportedly played out last friday night near mission and first streets. the car went the wrong way for about two blocks. waymo tells the "chronicle" that maneuver helped avoid a potential collision with nearby electric scooter riders and unicyclists. on capitol hill the senate is poised to advance a $95 billion package to provide aid to ukraine and israel. it includes a provision that could 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 is joining us with a look at what's at stake here.

>> reporter: so i don't think anybody thinks that tiktok is just going to go away. this is really about lawmakers wanting to make bytedance, the parent company of tiktok, sell their stake in the company. there are 170 million americans who use tiktok almost every single day. i'll admit that i do have an account as well. tiktok tracks how we consume the content, the devices we use, how long we watch posts, what kind of posts we like to feed its algorithm. the chinese government potentially has access to some or all of that data. tiktok denies this is the case, but 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 american data just 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: now, a lot of us just go to tiktok for a little entertainment, but some people like anna brown of burlingame make a living off tiktok. she says it saved her family during the pandemic when she could not get work as an esthetician. she is just one of millions of content creators who depend on the platform and millions of content creators that tiktok is trying to rally to put pressure on lawmakers. i don't know if it's working, because the house already voted to pass it, the senate will take their vote today, and president biden says when it gets to his desk, he will sign it. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> a lot of users not so excited about that. all right, thank you. new this morning, san francisco's attorney next week will ask a judge to throw out legal claims tied to a 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 it had become dangerous. 113 were arrested, 81 juveniles. skateboarders described it as an abuse of power and some are suing claiming their civil rights were violated. 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 at 11:00 this morning on 12th street in the east lake neighborhood. this will be 91 households. the application process is carefully regulated, but it will be open to people living on social security or for households making $84,000 or less a year which is considered low income here in the bay area. >> it includes everyone from

folks who were formerly homeless to people who are making minimum wage jobs and struggle to survive in the bay area. so it really has a broad spectrum of affordability. >> this is a public/private partnership. on the private side, the east bay asian local development, along with jordan real estate investment. on the public side, there are 16 different agencies, this project also represents one of the first pay-outs for a measure u, which oakland voters passed in 2022. we will also see improvements to the streetscape, b.a.r.t. and ac transit in that area. 6:40 on your tuesday morning. taking a live look outside overlooking san jose. kari has a look at our forecast. we're going to see a little cooldown today. >> we're starting with clouds that will begin to clear out by late morning. we are seeing more sunshine as we take a look at walnut creek.

but once again, notice that layer of clouds overhead. we're starting with some milder temperatures. in san ramon at 9:00, the mid-50s. at 1:00, 64 degrees. that's about where our temperatures stop, in the mid-60s today. in dublin, a high of 69 degrees expected. you'll notice that it will be significantly cooler than yesterday, but still feeling pretty nice outside. 71 in san jose, concord, as well as fairfield. we'll talk about where we may see spotty rain. mike, you have an update on the major crash in san martin. >> we're looking toward northbound 101, it looks like the pattern sorted itself out to standard. northbound monterey road -- monterey highway is further south, but it continues to the closure just north of san martin avenue. i just got word that the coroner should arrive by about 7:00. they won't reopen before that point. we're looking at north 101

holding steady now north of dunn and cochran, everything is fine, relatively light. good start for the bay area's commute, things have calmed down. there may be a new crash near the richmond bridge toll plaza. i'm going to check that out once chp gives us information. the sausalito to san francisco ferry, the pier is damaged so you'll have to use the bus bridge until further notice. with spring in the air, so is spring cleaning and saying good riddance to that unwanted junk. the bay area company trying to make sure your trash ends up nowhere near

today president biden will hold a rally in florida. the state will vote on access to abortion this november. >> scott mcgrew, florida will vote at the same time on the president. >> right. they're thinking this is pretty good timing, democrats do. remember, the same is true for arizona, or maybe if there's a ballot item on the arizona ballot. the abortion question, the presidency on the same ballot is likely good for democrats. they're pretty sure the abortion question will bring out more democrats, president biden will benefit from it. that's why florida, which has consistently voted for the republican in the past few

elections, may suddenly be in play. president biden heading to tampa, where he will blame republicans for florida's new tough anti-abortion law. a law polls show many floridians don't like. now, the whole speech, of course, designed to keep abortion in the headlines. but no doubt, president biden will be met by, perhaps interrupted by protesters who are angry at his policies over israel and palestine. some americans concerned u.s. policy expects one set of standards for human rights in israel, and a far higher standard for other countries. now, that's something the secretary of state, speaking at a press conference about the state department's annual human rights report, says simply is not true. >> do we have a double standard? the answer is no. as this report makes clear, in general, as we're looking at human rights and the condition of human rights around the

world, it doesn't change whether the country in question is an adversary, competitor, friend or ally. >> president biden will speak about abortion access starting at noon our time. meantime, the u.s. supreme court tomorrow will take up an abortion case. this time over whether a woman has a right to get an emergency abortion to protect her health in a state like idaho that forbids abortions except in the case of a life of a mother. former president trump will be back in court today for day two of his first criminal trial. the judge will consider the prosecution's request to find trump in contempt of court for violations of the gag order. if the judge finds those actions are worthy of a contempt charge, he could fine, even jail the former president. down the street at another courthouse, the judge in trump's civil fraud case asked for and got reassurances the collateral that trump put up in a bond in

that case will remain untouched by trump in the bank. trump is spending tens of millions of dollars in legal fees. his save america pac that people donate to says it spent $60 million in legal fees on lawyers in total, and nearly $4 million last month alone. to our climate in crisis, you may be taking on spring cleaning and wondering, what do i do with all of this stuff? well, there is now a new door-to-door service in the east bay picking up waste from homes and diverting it from the landfill. it's called rid well and it helps you get rid of things that aren't part of your typical curbside recycling, batteries, amazon packaging and frozen food bags. you put it in a box and it's picked up by drivers who take it back to the warehouse and distribute it to local nonprofits in the bay area. the items include the berkeley food network and friends of the

alameda animal shelter, and scrap sf for art installations. >> we have expanded into danville, alamo, walnut creek, lafayette and orinda. typically picking something up for a local nonprofit. pots and pans, silverware, pet leashes and harnesses. there are other hard to recycle items like styrofoam that can be picked up for an additional fee. >> if you're wondering about the cost of membership, it starts at $14. other parts of the bay area they service are the south bay, the peninsula and san francisco. there are plans in the works to move to the north bay soon. that's a good idea to keep in the back of your mind. we'll post the information on our website, nbcbayarea.com. look for this story on our climate in crisis page. and we will continue to have coverage on earth week here on nbc bay area. we have a lot of exciting
