public health is protection of the infant. and that's because these infants have very small lungs and also they can't start their vaccines until they're 2 months old. >> the school district tells us they're working closely with public health to monitor this outbreak, but students and staff are being told to stay home if they are sick. slowing drivers down. tonight, there's a new plan to make school zones safer for kids, and it's one that could effect everyone. state assembly member mark berman announced legislation that would lower the speed limit in school zones to 20 miles per hour or less. he made the announcement outside castlemon elementary school. it's just blocks away from where jacob villanueva was hit by a car and killed in 2022. right now, the signs just say when children are present. new at 11:00, a dream purchase in paradise turns into a nightmare for a bay area woman.

tonight, we're getting our closest look yet at the wreckage of the baltimore bridge that collapsed and the container ship that crashed into it. this is the bow of that ship. and nbc news crew went out on the water with the army corps of engineers today as they begin to clear the blocked channel. it is dangerous work. the water is so muddy and dark, divers and drones have struggled to get a clear view. massive cranes are on their way to help, but experts believe it could take a month to clear the wreckage. meantime, the search continues for the bodies of four missing workers. this dash cam video shows them on the bridge a few hours before
11:15 pm
the disaster. the wife of one of the men who survived told nbc news the workers were on a break and in their cars when the bridge collapsed. tonight, we've learned pg and e is getting a break on a $1 billion bill. the utility owes us, its customers, that money for helping it with a massive wildfire bailout. >> but that reprieve comes as regulators appear to be balking at a deal, and the clock is ticking. jackson vander becken reports. >> reporter: this is the so-called stairway of power. a massive network of power generating dams along the feather river. it's a valuable asset that pg and e hopes to draw on, because it is short on cash. >> so, pg and e applied to the commission last year for authority to sell off their crown jewel. >> reporter: they wouldn't sell the actual dams themselves, just a $3.5 billion stake. and used the investors' cash to

pay some of the $1 billion it owes customers who are fronting the financing costs of a $7.5 billion wildfire bailout. >> it is shocking. >> reporter: critis point out the utility has known for years this bill would come due, and she says they should be flush with cash. given the recent string of rate increases, right after earning more than $2 billion in profits last year. >> the idea that the shareholders, after reporting record from fit, don't have the money to fulfill their legal obligation, is laughable. >> reporter: but they told regulators it reinvested most of those profits in fire safety measures. that's why it filed this petition to delay some of its payback to customers. any delay won't impact rates. >> we don't have the money, to, please let us off the hook. >> reporter: former regulatory judge steve weissman is with uc
11:17 pm
berkeley's goldman school of public policy. he says the request to put off paying two-thirds of the billion dollar bill should raise a major red flag for regulators. >> the commission should be looking at what's going on there. what their plan b is if they don't get their way, in terms of spinning off their power plants. >> reporter: pg and e recently did get that reprieve from the cpuc, telling us it appreciated the agency's thoughtful review. but it didn't get the go ahead on its plan to raise the $3.5 billion in cash it says it needs. a regulatory judge recently rejected pg and e's request to sell off a stake of dams along the feather river and other plants. calling it not in the public interest, saying the terms of the sale are too vague, and it could push monthly rates even higher. pg and e says it will respond to the findings next month. that's when the public utilities commission is expected to decide the fate of the financing deal.
11:18 pm
jackson vander becken, nbc bay area news. >> if you have a story for our investigative unit, call 888-996-tips, or go to nbcbayarea.com. let's talk about something a little more uplifting, something that may make you want to jam. >> yes, the boss just wrapped up a sold out show at the chase center. ♪♪ ♪ by the end of the set ♪ ♪ we leave no one alive ♪ >> bruce springsteen and the e street band relaunched their north american tour earlier this month. the tour was forced to take a pause last year, you might remember, while prinstein was treated for a health issue. tonight's show was the first of two performances in san francisco. the next one is on sunday. and earlier this week, san francisco welcomed springsteen to the city with a special tribute. for the first time, chase center teamed up with the san francisco mta to put up street signs in
11:19 pm
honor of the boss and his band. >> have you seen him? >> not yet. amazing? >> it is. it's a bucket list thing. >> the energy, right? >> i know. >> i need to know what he is, you know, having for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. him and sting both. they are awesome. all right, we are tracking this storm system here as we held through tomorrow. also on saturday and sunday. it's going to take its time and move right on down the coastline. not only the chance of rain, but some thunderstorms and cold air. let me show you more on what we can expect as we head through tomorrow, and we're going to begin right here with that morning commute at 7:00. and i think overall, we're going to be okay on the early morning commute, 6:00, 7:00, even 8:00. we'll see rainfall starting here near the coastline, but it's not going to be the worst of it. what's really interesting about this storm system is by about 11:00 in the morning, we begin to see this heavy line of rain developing, and then that looks to slam us here for the afternoon commute. one, two, three in the
11:20 pm
afternoon, winds 50-plus miles per hour. heavy downpours and a chance of small hail. then we see this break up to scattered rain and thunderstorm chances by tomorrow afternoon, and right through the late evening. now, i want to run this all the way through your weekend forecast, too, and show you that on saturday, we'll hang onto scattered thunderstorm chances for the morning, and also into the afternoon, but here's the good part. by easter sunday, by sunday morning, when you're trying to get those egg hunts going on, all things easter, we should be in a window of clearing here with a mix of sun and clouds, and then by sunday afternoon, we'd see the chance here of more thunderstorms back in the mix for us. so, rainfall totals tomorrow you looks like a stronger punch here than what we had over the past 24 hours, so, for tomorrow, we see a quarter to three quarters of an inch on average. some of the northern coastline could be around an inch, maybe higher.
11:21 pm
on saturday, it's a quarter to a half inch in the bay area. and then sunday, easter, trace amounts. and our eastern cities would have the best chance of getting some of the thunderstorms moving across. so, as we head through tomorrow morning's forecast, it's going to be chilly to start. down to 46 over the tri-valley. san francisco at 50. and the north bay, 48. daytime highs for the end of march, man, this is cold, we're stepping back into winter here. 52 in santa rosa. 56 in san francisco. and mid-50s down there for the south bay. so, for easter, good right now for the morning, then thunderstorm chances through the afternoon. on the seven-day forecast, look at next week. sunshine is back and we need it. temperatures in the 60s in san francisco. inland valleys, we get to thaw out here, 74 next tuesday. so, we've saved easter morning for the easter bunny, it's going to be all good. >> nothing worse than a wet easter bunny. >> i know. >> the eggs will be good to go. >> kids will be happy. jeff, thank you. still ahead, the future is here, and it's ready to serve
