.com. >> all right. let's check in with steve paulson. i know we have rain coming in. when and where does it start? >> well, it's already started for some light drizzle, but i had some on the way in there. so it will continue to ramp up here as this system inches closer. and look at that. that's pretty impressive. and it deserves a wow, rain will start. warm advection rain warm front sector starts, light rain. then the wind will pick up and then heavier rain will follow as this system sweeps through here. so 30s, 40s and 50s, although i would expect these lows to probably settle in right here or get even a little bit warmer. 27. truckee 24. south lake tahoe 47. sacramento down to monterey. and there's your low as it dropped in from the parent low which is to the north of that. but that's going to give us a round of rain and wind. still looks like i said it yesterday i'll say it again today. i think santa cruz mountains area gets the most out of this, it could be, you know, all along the peninsula as well. but the projections here show the most by far falling towards the santa cruz mountains and santa cruz

with lesser amounts, but still pretty good even to the north. here as far as the sierra goes, a lot of it will be dependent on if the low can inch close enough to the coast. if it stays far enough offshore, it will be more of a rain event than snow event. but they'll get some up there. so no rain and wind for us today. see, i had time to fix that yet. but today and for the sierra winter storm warning you knew that would happen. will take us from today into sunday morning. 50s. that's it on the temps well below average. >> all right. thank you steve. telephone wires cut in the east bay. disrupting service for dozens of people coming up, the arresting contra costa county. and what police found inside the suspect's car. >> and the iconic movie theater in orinda. making some changes while the owner says they'll have to close for a couple of days a week in der to stay i

they're there just like that. don't you know, just broad brush it. don't fine tune it. possible thunderstorms, a half inch to two and a half, santa cruz mountains area looks to get the most to me by far. and then, of course, that wind advisory. but look at that already. some light drizzle. light rain in advance of this, but it'll only increase throughout the morning into the afternoon, especially this evening here. so we're under cloudy skies. not much of a breeze yet, but that will develop as the upper low gets closer towards us. and you see big differences in the pressure gradients. 30s, 40s on the temps, 20s in the mountains. if you have to go, i'd go now as soon as you can. i think wind could be a big factor there going forward. snow level will drop to 4000ft or so, but the system starts at to 8:00 friday. i think that'd be more wind driven than snow driven. snow would be more tonight, overnight into tomorrow. there's your system will be with us today. tomorrow. then start to work its way down the coast and impact central and southern california in a big way over the weekend. so for us cold temps, heaviest rain looks to be in the santa cruz area, but everybody should

get in on some pretty decent amounts. but take a look at the santa cruz area as we go into friday night and saturday. there you go. see over two there. that's more than anybody else by far. so i said that yesterday. i see no reason to discount it today. and if you're going to the mountains, yes, they'll get snow. but don't forget the wind will be a huge factor up there as well. so highs today only in the 50s. >> all right steve thank you. times for 21 getting abandoned cars off bay area streets. you tell you the results of a parking enforcement operation in one east bay city. >> a history making moment in the south bay. the event ahead of today's first home game for the bay fc women's professional soccer team

an hour. the back in september of 2022, jacob villanueva, a third grader at castlemont elementary, was hit and killed while in the crosswalk on his way to school. >> we are determined that jacob's death not be in vain, and this is one more step in the right direction, especially around schools. >> makes sense because some people just zoom through. >> now a state assembly committee will decide whether to advance that bill when it meets next month. >> a bay area school district that has been dealing with on campus violence will not have a school resource officer in time for the next school year. santa rosa mayor natalie rogers tells the press democrat that the holdup boils down to several unanswered questions, including who will fund the program and how long it will last. she said the committee that oversees the resource officer pilot program plans to apply for grants. >> all right, our time is 441. the oakland school board will

inflated graduation numbers and inflated grades because we're doing the children of oakland a disservice. >> at a rally, the group announced a resolution called raise the bar that it coauthored with two school board members. it calls on the oakland unified school district board of education and the city council to set goals to improve proficiency rates. substantial for black and brown students over the next ten years. >> we need to go from incremental to a rocket type of acceleration of our curriculum, supporters say. >> the resolution is a way to try to ensure that resources are devoted to, and focused on, educating parents and students about college eligibility. >> if you don't hit those requirements, then what opportunities do you have? >> this parent says she wants to make sure her son, who's in the fourth grade, is on track to get into college. >> if graduation is not synonymous with acceptance, it's failure. >> one high school senior tells me he's college bound, thanks in part to his school. he says the

resolution could help many students. >> i'm super passionate about because i've seen students that are like, they have a lot of potential, but they don't know what what they need to do. >> kimmy keen, co-founder of families in action, says the resolution's goal is to encourage schools to look beyond high school graduation when we know that without ensuring black and brown students read and do math at grade level, we will not be preparing our students to for opportunities in college. the school board is scheduled to discuss and vote on the resolution april 24th, keen tells me. the city council is also expected to take up this matter in the coming months in oakland. amber lee, ktvu, fox two news thank you. >> amber bay area soccer fans have been waiting months for the inaugural game home game for bay fc. the team hosted a news conference with san jose mayor matt mehan ahead of tomorrow's sold out game. the mayor was presented with a bay fc letterman jacket. mayor mehan says the city takes a lot of

pride in their professional teams. in bay fc has a unique place in san jose's heart. >> this one is special because it's the first professional women's sports team in the entire region and in a place as progressive as the bay, it's kind of shocking that we haven't had a professional women's team here yet, but we are so proud to be home to bay fc. we you know, we're a soccer town. >> tomorrow's game will be at paypal park, which is also home to the san jose earthquakes. all right. they might have a little rain to deal with, i don't know. let's check in with steve paulson. >> i don't think the a's are playing tonight. >> well, the bay fc tomorrow probably. >> maybe not. i don't think the giants are playing this weekend. i think they'll play tonight. but i don't think they'll play in san diego on saturday or sunday. as the way it looks, this is a really strong system that's diving into california. unseasonably strong for this time of year. i also just saw a lightning strike showing up there, southwest moisture in advance of that will effect in.

and you have a strong what's called a low level jet around 5000ft, which will enhance upslope santa cruz mountains. there could be some hefty totals here. unseasonably strong system today. tomorrow. thunderstorms likely two and a half, maybe three inches possible. and a wind advisory. and i knew they'd do it. they've now included areas to the north. you i mean, it was just. come on. it's too big of a system here. but that starts at 11 a.m. and goes through 5 a.m. saturday. you can see that's still wrapping itself up. so it's what we call vertically stacked. and that means it's low pressure at all levels of the atmosphere from surface. all the way up to above 18, 20,000ft. so that's impressive for the end of march. no doubt about it. some light drizzle, light rain has already been falling in advance of this, some of this. nothing too much, but i had some on the way in here. 40s on. most of the temps are 50s. i expect these to go up as that south wind starts to develop now for the sierra. i mean, it's in the 20s now. we get rain and wind today. i think wind might be a bigger factor than snow up there initially,

but a winter storm warning starts later today and goes through sunday morning. but again, this system is closer to far to the west, so they'll get some snow up there. but this looks like a bigger rain event than it does snow event. but they'll get some snow up there, especially saturday as the cold air starts to work its way in. the system will come right to the surface, low will come right to the bay area and then start to hold. kit and caboodle will start to head down the coast here. so cold temps, heaviest rain i think santa cruz area and you can see the focus watch, watch around ben lohman and santa cruz going into not only tonight but also saturday. look at that two. plus, i would easily expect some three inch amounts through this by the time we get to saturday night. maybe even into sunday, the system could produce some excessive rainfall on the central california coast all the way down to southern california by the time we get into sunday morning. so friday rain and wind, cloudy, cool morning rain develops and chilly high temps. you guys all right? >> thank you. steve declined. enrollment and budget shortfalls are forcing schools to make a difficult decision. the latest campus that will close this

summer and cook, stir the first leash free dog park opens in monterey county. >> we talked to a local eagle scou oop that i love that my daughter still needs me. but sometimes i can't help due to burning and stabbing pain in my hands, so i use nervive. nervive's clinical dose of ala reduces nerve discomfort in as little as 14 days. now i can help again. feel the difference with nervive.

helps with the shortage of places where dog owners can just let their dogs run free. local eagle scout nathan pugmire designed and built the dog park. he laid out the plans, raised the funds and coordinated the gathering of materials, and worked with his scout troop and volunteers to build the dog park . over a span of a few weeks. >> when it came time for me to do my eagle project, it kind of just seemed natural for me to come out and give back to the community. that's given so much to me growing up, and i have two dogs that i always bring out here, and so it just seemed like a good idea to give the community a space to let their dogs run free. >> it's wonderful. we've had to go to carmel or del rey oaks, or just go for a walk, but to let him loose is great. so he can run, so we're happy. >> now, officials say monterey county has a long history of teaming up with the eagle scouts. and now there's another eagle scout project to build a

playground for dogs at the new dog park. >> i love that doing some good work in the community. yes. all right. mo likes to be off his leash for sure. >> i know he does. >> i don't know if i'm going to be able to get a rain free walk today though. steve any breaks i. >> you're asking the impossible. the answer is probably not. >> probably not. all right. sorry he hates his rain jacket, too. yeah it's a big system. okay, so it's on its way here, and it's going to deepen. if you have a barometer at home, some of you do check. keep an eye on it. should somewhere get to around 2932 or somewhere in there and inches but 993 on the millibars. that's pretty deep for the end of march. no doubt. 40s 50s is going to be an unseasonably cool day, with highs only in the 50s here for many 20s in the mountains they will get snow, but the winter storm warning starts a little later. i think wind is a bigger story in the mountains initially. snow. it'll it'll get there, but more likely tonight in overnight into saturday. so

totals look okay i mean you know they backed off a little bit on this. but for rainfall that system will come right to the coast and slide down the coast not only today tonight but also into tomorrow. and then should be far enough south sunday, although i still think we'll get a lot of cloud cover, cold temps, heaviest rain. looks to me around the santa cruz area. you guys. >> as soon as that car starts up, everything goes away and i feel at peace. >> the bay area has its first black female drag racer coming up in our 5:00 hour of mornings on two, her journey to the track as we continue to celebrate women's history month. and it was a tough way to open the season for bay area baseball. we have a recap up next

creation of an uptown downtown safety zone, an area staffed with off duty police officers. there will be buddy escorts to help people to and from places like offices and restaurants, and there will be transportation for employees to and from work and transit hubs, nearby parking lots and businesses. crime has been a serious issue for many of these employees. all four companies previously had their own security programs, but now they're all joining together. >> bottom line is we're trying to keep our employees safe, and we have seen rising crime, particularly in 2023 over 2022, in oakland, that's contributed to a sense of concern amongst our employees. and we just want to make sure that they can come to work, be safe and be productive. >> just a few months ago, kaiser put out a notice advising workers to stay inside for lunch after some employees were being robbed during their breaks. it also told employees not to have meetings in downtown oakland. now. right now, this program is

back to the community. the nonprofit loan institute says kaiser's so-called fair share deficit was $1.3 billion in 2021. that's the largest among nonprofit health systems in the country. stanford hospital ranked sixth among the country's nonprofit hospitals, with a deficit of $180 million in 2021, according to the bay area news group. both stanford and kaiser say the loan institute's analysis does not include all of their community investments. commercial crab season will end early for most of the state, including the bay area and central coast. california's department of fish and wildlife will shut down dungeness crab fishing beginning at 6:00 on the night of april 8th. now, the closure stretches all the way from the sonoma mendocino county line down to the mexico border. the state says. aerial and vessel survey reports show humpback whales are starting to return to the coast, and they could get tangled up by any netting and crab traps. recreational crab traps will also be prohibited between the

sonoma mendocino county line and santa barbara county. >> time now 517 this morning, a winter storm warning will take effect for the sierra. despite that, the tahoe resorts are expecting a busy weekend, with guests enjoying a new round of snow anticipating. >> you know, a lot of people showing up for the weekend with a fresh snow and then, yeah, just making sure we've got groomed trails on the mountain and yeah, everything's, ready to go right now. >> there are no chain controls on either 80 or 50, but that may change in the coming hours. >> all right. i think a lot of people have their eyes on top next week. spring break for a lot of people. so they're going to get new snow. but it might be tough to get up there steve. right. >> yes. the roads will be. people don't listen to when i say anyway, so they go anyway. pam try anyway. >> so today will be a lot of rain and snow and wind, right? >> i think a bigger factor

initially than snow tonight, but this is more about wind and rain for us than it is about sierra snow. and in the next week looks like another big system coming in for the first week of april. if the forecast models are right and i don't see any reason why they wouldn't be, that's a that's that deserves a wow. this is a vigorous system which is diving into california and it's going to lead to rain. possible thunderstorms really cool. high temps for us. unseasonably strong system friday saturday and a wind advisory which now also includes other areas to the north which didn't yesterday. i knew it would. so you get the santa cruz mountains. looks to be the focus to me for the heaviest rain. why you get a southwest wind advecting deep moisture. it's called strong upslope and you can get some pretty, pretty good rainfall out of that. and that will be the focus here. you can just take this. i use again the canadian model. it's called the gem ten kilometer precipitation. and it's been pretty good. so i'm not going to waver from it. but look at that santa cruz 214 ben lomond 178 if santa cruz gets 214, i think ben loman gets more than that, or at least boulder creek or bonny doon. so that will be the area, i think that takes the brunt of it, although

still good rain. marin county, usual areas as well up towards the russian river. wind advisory starts at 11:00 this morning. goes through 5 a.m. on saturday. and there it is. the wind is turning southerly southeast, starting to pick up. not too bad yet, but it will start to crank up here as the system is still pretty far offshore. it does deepen to about 993 millibars. we have a barometer at home that's around 2932, so keep an eye on that. and light rain is already beginning to fall. heavier rain and wind will move in. so friday rain and wind. most of this will be during the afternoon evening, overnight into saturday and chilly high temps only in the 50s. dave. >> okay steve. thank you. times 519 getting abandoned cars off bay area streets. we'll tell you the results of a parking enforcement operation in one east bay city and in the south bay. a history making moment. the event ahead of today's first home game for the bay fc women's pro soccer team

hours were removed from the streets of richmond. the parking enforcement team had identified and they removed these cars for causing blight in the neighborhood. it comes after community complaints about abandoned and hazardous cars. richmond city leaders say the operation is a reminder car is on public roads with expired registrations of more than six months or parked longer than 72 hours, can be impounded. as

well. the santa clara county sheriff's office says deputies arrested a third suspect in connection to a vta copper theft. 55 year old michael reeder was arrested on several charges, including grand theft, vandalism and possession of a stolen vehicle. two other suspects were arrested for the crime earlier this month. if they're suspected of stealing copper wire from the vta, valued at $10,000, it is now 523. bart released some new numbers about its crackdown on crime, 726 arrests were made on trains and at bart stations in 2023. that's up 62% from the year before. also, 49 illegal guns were confiscated, the highest number in a single year since 2003. the bart has made big investments in its police force to deal with several safety concerns, and the decline in ridership in san jose, firefighters now have a new place to sharpen their

>> we got to stop hiding behind inflated graduation numbers and inflated grades because we're doing the children of oakland a disservice. >> now, an advocacy group called families in action held a rally announcing the resolution, called raise the bar. it urges the oakland unified school district, the board of education and city council to set goals to improve proficiency rates among black and brown students within the next decade. >> we need to go from incremental to a rocket type of acceleration of our curriculum. >> i'm super passionate about because i've seen students that are like, they have a lot of potential, but they don't know what what they need to do now, the raise the bar study finds that about 30% of oakland students read or do math at their grade level, and that's well below the state average. >> well. bay area soccer fans have been waiting for months for the inaugural home game for the bay fc women's pro soccer team,

and that day is almost here. the team hosted a news conference with san jose mayor matt mehan ahead of tomorrow's sold out game. the mayor, as you see, was presented with the bay fc letterman jacket and the mayor says the city takes a lot of pride in their pro teams, but that bay fc has a unique place in san jose's heart. >> this one is special because it's the first professional women's sports team in the entire region, and in a place as progressive as the bay, it's kind of shocking that we haven't had a professional women's team here yet, but we are so proud to be home to bay fc. we you know, we're a soccer town now. >> tomorrow's game will be at paypal park. it's also the home of the san jose earthquakes. time now 527 people in oakland demanding action after 65 year old woman was attacked while she was working at a laundromat. while the witnesses say the

since 225 years in prison. we are hearing from legal analysts who say they believe his sentence sends a message to

other white collar criminals. plus, the problem is the resources have not been put into the solutions they've instead been put into a criminal justice response. cracking down on san francisco's open air drug markets. we're going to hear from the candidates hoping to be the next mayor about how they plan to clean up the streets. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. good morning. >> thank you for waking up with us here on mornings on two. i'm pam cook. >> you did it again. you got us to friday with your help, dave. yeah, i did little bit. good morning. i'm dave clark. it is friday. it is march 29th. >> and steve paulson is talking about a rainy friday. let's check in on the forecast. >> windy and windy and windy. windy. rainy here. 40s on the temp. some light rain already out there. drizzle. light rain. it'll pick up later, especially the wind. pretty deep system for this time of year. march 29th no doubt about it. 40s. you can see for me. look at that. if you're watching on your 85 inch high

def tv, you can say it after me. wow yes, that's that's wrapped up pretty good. this is just warm advection rain out ahead of it. the front is still well offshore, but that low is going to deepen inch closer towards us late tonight. so we'll all be riders on the storm because this is one. i don't say that very often, but this one is wind and rain. pick up cool high temps, only 50s possible thunderstorms. other than that, it will be a lovely friday 50s on the temps. sal is here. quiet out there it is found. steve, i need your mic on. it's hardly noticeable though. >> there you go. there. my backup mike will work. all right. good morning everyone. steve, i'm wondering if this is the end of the storms that we're going to have, or we're going to have even more in april. i don't know. anyway, let's go out and take a look at 80 westbound coming around the corner, looks pretty good to the bay bridge toll plaza. no problems at the toll plaza itself, triple a traffic camera showing a nice

looking drive. it could be that today, because it is good friday and some people have the day off that, for example, the markets are closed. we are going to have a little bit of a lighter commute. 532 let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal one person was killed last night in a shooting near the powell street bar station in san francisco, ktvu allie rasmus joining us now with what we know so far about what happened. >> ali i'm pam, san francisco police aren't telling us much at this point in the investigation. so here's what we do know. 930 last night, there was a shooting in holiday plaza. that is the plaza that's at the bottom of the escalators, right next to the entrance to the powell street bart station and right across from the cable car turnaround. we don't know what prompted the shooting or how many people were involved, but san francisco police say when they arrived, they found one person who'd been shot more than once, even though medics tried to help. the person died from those gunshot wounds there at the scene. we don't know

anything about the victim. if it was a man or a woman. police did not tell us about any arrests or any possible motives or suspect descriptions. homicide detectives closed off the plaza and the entrance to the powell street bart station shortly after this happened. at 930 last night, although trains did continue to run through powell station and service was back to normal again. later in the evening and again this morning. the station has reopened, so we're hoping and waiting for more information and more details from san francisco police on this homicide investigation. after that deadly shooting that happened outside the powell street bart station, live in san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, ali. thank you. time's 533. the biden campaign raised $26 million last night at a celebrity packed fundraiser in new york city. >> at long last, sir, have, you know chip shot? >> now, late night tv host stephen colbert led a discussion with president biden and former presidents barack obama and bill clinton. there was also a host

of celebrities there. former president trump was also in new york. he attended a wake for a new york city police officer who was shot and killed during a traffic stop. >> the police are the greatest people we have. there's nothing and there's nobody like them, and this should never happen. >> the donald trump will be back on the campaign trail next week. he'll be traveling to michigan and wisconsin. >> we are hearing from the candidates hoping to be the next mayor of san francisco about how they will clean up the streets. homelessness and drug dealing in the city are two of the main issues in the race. ktvu asked mayor breed and her challengers for their solutions. proposals include declaring a state of emergency and bringing in more state resources. we need results and if that requires asking the state and the federal government for additional law enforcement personnel, i'm prepared to do exactly that up to and including national guard. >> yes, absolutely. >> not only have we made arrests

of over 2000 dealers and users with the goal of getting people treatment and holding drug dealers accountable, but even just last night, there was a big operation of over 50 arrests because of the work that we're doing. >> i would have a satellite office of the mayor at the tenderloin police station. the mayor needs to be on the ground seeing that on a day to day basis, marshaling the resources of the city. >> i'm the only candidate in this race with a comprehensive plan backed by law enforcement and behavioral health experts, to tackle the crisis on our streets. and so we need to do this. we should be doing it now. i will do it on day one of my administration. >> homeless advocates say these proposals focus on law enforcement making arrests, but do not address the underlying issues of mental health and drug and alcohol dependency. >> the time is now. 536 sam bankman-fried, the cryptocurrency mogul, plans to appeal his conviction and his

sentencing. a judge in new york sentenced him to 25 years in federal prison for fraud and conspiracy. prosecutors accused the co-founder of ftx of defrauding investors and customers out of more than $11 billion. before that cryptocurrency exchange collapsed last. >> he will still, for the majority of his life, or for the remainder of his life, be working to pay back or to pay this essentially this fine, which severely limits his ability to do bad in the future, as was one of the judge's big concern. >> now, while the judge ripped into bankman-fried, the sentence was less than a quarter of the maximum 110 years in prison for the conviction. the prison sentence could be further reduced if he's on good behavior , for when dealing with a quarter century at great taxpayer expense, it gets in the way of what people should be most concerned about victims.

>> he should be working and paying that money back. >> now, his parents, who were there at the sentencing, both taught at stanford university. his mother asked the judge for leniency. bankman freed could be sent to a medium security prison here in california. >> governor newsom is dropping his support of a proposal designed to protect workers from excessive heat. last week, cal osha approved rules to require cooling devices, access to water and cooling off, break areas in indoor facilities such as warehouses, schools and kitchens. but the governor's office says it cannot endorse the plan without knowing the projected cost to the state. the department of finance does have concerns about high costs to jails and other state buildings, a spokesperson for the governor's office issued a statement saying in part, quote, the administration is committed to implementing the indoor heat regulations and ensuring workplace protections. however it is imprudent to move forward with a cost estimate that is off

by billions of dollars. >> our time now. 538 a south bay state assembly member wants to reduce the speed limit around schools after a child was hit and killed by a car two years ago in campbell, now, state assembly member marc berman introduced the safer school zones bill to the community. he says if it's approved, speed limits around schools would not top 20 miles an hour. now, back in september in 2022, jacob villanueva, a third grader at castlemont elementary, was hit and killed by a car in the crosswalk on his way to school. >> we are determined that jacob's death not be in vain, and this is one more step in the right direction, especially around schools. >> makes sense because some people just zoom through now. >> next month, a state assembly committee will decide whether to advance the bill. >> a bay area school district that has been dealing with on campus violence will not have a

school resource officer in time for the next school year. santa rosa mayor natalie rogers tells the press democrat that the holdup boils down to several unanswered questions, including who will fund the program and how long it will last. now, she said, the committee that oversees the resource officer pilot program plans to apply for grants. >> well school district in monterey county held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new school building. a new portion of the aliso community school will include an administration building, 12 classrooms, and a play area. the district officials say voters were hesitant to approve this $17 million project, but they knew the importance of building new facilities for future generations. >> once you told them the story, once you once you made them understand that these buildings are 80 years old. they're not falling apart. we're keeping

them glued together. but the kids deserve better. they would change their minds. >> now. that ceremony included performances by the school's color guard and the school district's drumline, and cheer team. school officials said. construction is expected to be finished by next spring. >> all right, speaking of spring, yes, we're having some winter like weather on this, this is a really impressive system. >> yeah, sounds like march. >> no doubt about it. here unseasonably strong with that deep means it's strong and lightning strikes now are popping up right and left here off the north, off the coast here. so i get to it. there's more important than me. you can see that right there. look at that. and this continues to deepen if you have a home weather station i already sent this out on x slash twitter. today would be a good day to keep an eye on the barometric pressure. wind will crank up possible thunderstorms already. i mean, they're already there. unseasonably cold air mass coming in, i'm on record as saying. i think santa cruz mountains will probably be the

leader of the pack on rainfall, because you get a strong, low level jet stream. what's that mean? that's roaring wind at around 5000ft. you take this deep moisture, you lift it, you cool it, condense it. you can get some heavy totals. if you're in the santa cruz mountains. mount tamalpais sometimes also fits that scenario. light rain in the morning. then it'll pick up in the afternoon, then become heavy. especially tonight into tomorrow. the wind will also be a big factor, along with thunderstorms and maybe hail, but santa cruz 2.14. if santa cruz gets 2.14, ben lomond is getting more than 1.79. you know it, i know it, but you get the idea. i think that'll be the area along with maybe marin county wind advisory starts at 11:00 friday. i think the strongest wind is tonight. that's when the deepest surface low and it's down to 9.93 millibars, which is two 9 or 3 two inches of mercury. that's really deep for us here. rain and wind on friday. look for sierra snow window i think will be a bigger factor than snow. might even snow level might even go up initially before it starts to come down saturday into sunday. this is really more about wind and rain than it is

snow though. south wind, southeast wind is already. look at that. those lines are already forming offshore, so get ready. it's on its way, highs today will only be in the 50s, but a wide variety here for us. cloudy, cool morning light to moderate rain, thunderstorms, rain and wind develop and that'll take us into look at these highs well below seasonal averages. >> all right. thank you steve. declining enrollment and budget shortfalls are forcing schools to make a difficult decision. coming up, the latest campus that will close this summer, the climate is marvelous and the sea is even more marble. >> marvelous. and so if you add all of that together, it's a great decision as far as i'm concerned. so what do you think? >> is the grass really greener on the other side? i'll tell you why. a record number of america citi

16th. it happened after she told two women they came too late to start their laundry, and then the situation turned into an assault. the police arrived. they gave one of the women a citation, but the owner of the laundromat is upset that no one was arrested. >> we are living in a dystopian society. this is a dereliction of duty, of our leaders. >> and i'm angry, afraid, frustrated. and you got to do something about it. i want to go to work, but i'm afraid. but you got to change it. so victims have rights. >> now, leaders at that rally also called on oakland mayor chang tao to resign, saying she has failed the city. >> cupertino is working to fix what city officials are calling an accounting error. the city recently discovered more than $100,000 in affordable housing funds, went to pay off fees from a housing lawsuit, according to city documents. the city used

money from its below market rate housing fund to pay for a lawsuit for noncompliance in state mandated housing, the city manager says. cupertino now plans to replenish the account and will train employees on the funds, uses more than 200 students at a smaller charter school in san jose. will be forced to transfer to alum rock high school is closing its campus this summer as a result of declining enrollment and budget shortfalls. downtown college prep, which operates the high school and three other campuses in san jose, voted on the closure earlier this month. a long awaited business is coming to san francisco neighborhood, according to the san francisco standard. trader joe's is opening a new store in hayes valley, right near fulton and laguna. a regional manager says the company is in the process of hiring about 100 employees. the location is reportedly set to open sometime in june. and spotify is releasing new tools for artists to promote their music. artists represented by universal music group will now be able to share

teasers of their new music. spotify also plans to show music videos universal music group represents several major artists, including taylor swift, the weeknd and billie eilish. the companies have not announced when the new features will be available. well, an east bay woman is following in her father's footsteps and chasing her dreams and she's doing it good. >> michelle henry grew up going to the racetrack and watching her father drag race. now she's the bay area's first black female drag racer, and she knows every time she hits the racetrack, she is breaking barriers. >> when i was at formosa raceway last year at the hot rod reunion , when i did my run, popped my parachutes and got out the car. there's a few people at the end and they were clapping for me and when i took off my helmet, they was like, oh, that's a woman driving. and i was like, hi. and i was like, yes, me

driving it is her. >> that and her parents, michael and anitra, grew up in san francisco. they were high school sweethearts to drag racing has always been a part of their story, and anitra says she was hesitant to let her daughter race at first, but she changed her mind last year after battling breast cancer and after that, i told my daughter that, you know, life is too short. >> if that's something you want to do, then we're going to just go for it. you can do it. i'm not against it anymore. i would have let her drive years ago, but i wasn't going to get in between that conversation. >> he's a smart man, pam. >> she has a nine year old daughter as well. she says right now her daughter has no interest in the track. instead, she has a passion for horses and barrel racing. >> so still some racing, right? >> henry, her next race is may 27th at sonoma raceway.

>> love that story. it is all right for more of our women's history month coverage, you can head to the ktvu fox local app. >> there you will find more stories on some incredible women here in the bay area. that app is free for your smart tv. so a lot of good stories on there. >> she's a great woman, a great family, and it's a great story. >> i love it, yeah. >> hey, so do you have great news for us in our friday morning commute? >> god, you guys are in a good mood. this is great. that's great. but to be fair, she is great. yeah all right, so i get that. all right. good morning everyone. let's go out and take a look at the commute. i can use the superlative. it is looking good on the triple a traffic camera here at the bay bridge toll plaza. it looks very nice i like it, and i think we're going to have a lighter than usual day. today is good friday. some offices are closed, some banks are closed, the markets are closed for good friday. this is a look at westbound 92 and

westbound 84. san mateo and dumbarton bridges were off to good starts and not a lot of slowing on the peninsula. i'm sorry. on the altamont pass or the peninsula, but on the altamont pass there's a little bit of a slowing because of a stalled car. 551 let's bring steve back in with today's weather. so that was a great traffic update, i appreciate that. well, i thank you, steve i appreciate that. >> all right. hopefully i'll keep the theme going here. this this is a big system. i don't i don't i no hyperbole here. i tell it like it is. this is a big system for the end of march. all right. look at the lightning strikes right off the mendocino coast. boom boom boom boom right there. and there's plenty more right there, plenty more to go here. there's a line of looks like possible thunderstorms just now forming off the north sonoma coast. mendocino coast. but the rain is beginning to pick up light to moderate here. but the main system is not until later this afternoon. tonight. but look at these lines just offshore. it's not going to take long here. thunderstorms. hail wind advisory starts at 11:00 i think half inch to i think three

inches of rain. not only that, but this is unseasonably deep system. santa cruz mountains should be the leader of the pack on rainfall. they are in a favorable, what we call upslope condition, with a strong southwest wind funneling deep moisture in there. you lift it, you cool it, condense it. i think you get some pretty good totals there. and that's what's being advertised. i'm using the canadian model. it's called the gem ten kilometer precipitation, and it's been really good, so i see no reason to waver from it. but look at santa cruz. 214 ben lomond 179 ben lomond will get more than that if santa cruz gets 215, but that's the most by far here. so again, i think mount tamalpais around there could get some as well. 11:00 your wind advisory, those strongest wind gusts should probably be tonight tomorrow early. but this is a strong system. so also in the sierra a winter storm warning starts, a little bit later. but this is really, i think, more about wind for them early than snow tonight into tomorrow. south southeast wind is beginning to kick in. here comes your system. so i mean, if you had something to do in the morning, i'd say, you

know what? you're probably out of luck here because this system is just continuing to march in and deepen, which means it's getting stronger. so on our way we go friday, rain and wind. cloudy, cool morning light to moderate rain. thunderstorms rain and wind develop and temperatures well below seasonal. average >> all right. thank you steve. you've probably noticed i know i have. californians have faced soaring electricity bills. coming up, the new proposal for fixed charges to ease the burden. >> plus a new season for bay area baseball starting out rough . we'll tell you what happened

business. it's not a nine-to-five proposition. it's all day and into the night. it's all the things that keep this world turning. the go-tos that keep us going. the places we cheer. and check in. they all choose the advanced network solutions and round the clock partnership from comcast business. see why comcast business powers more small businesses than anyone else. get started for $49.99 a month plus ask how to get up to an $800 prepaid card. don't wait- call today.

season is not a repeat of game number one. the announced attendance was more than 13,000, but the coliseum sure looked emptier than that. the a's offense lacked punch. they mustered only four hits. they were shut out as the guardians opened the season with an 8 to 0 blowout. >> as long as they're supporting us in whatever way that may be, you know, whether it's inside the stadium or watching the game outside to have them show up for something they believe in, you know, you can't knock them for that. >> they definitely came out to watch us and support us, which, you know, obviously is great. you'd love to play better. >> the a's finished last year with a major league worst 112 losses. yeah ouch is right. tonight's starting pitcher ross

stripling was zero and five last season. >> our time now 557. the san francisco giants were in san diego to open their new season. now, despite opening season in southern california, it was a reason for some of the fans to get together at bars and restaurants. here in the bay area, including momo's, right across the street from the giants ballpark. the fans say they're hopeful this season will be a winning one every opening day. >> i'm hopeful. i'm excited. it's a beautiful park. we have a fantastic organization and you know logan webb already kicking some butt. >> so but i mean, i and anything can happen in baseball you know anything can happen. >> well the giants did lose their their opener to the padres 6 to 2 game two tonight in san diego. and you can see saturday's game right here with us on ktvu. the game starts at 415. it is now 558 monterey

county just opened its first leash free dog park at toro park. the county parks division says this new dog park helps with the shortage of places where dogs owners can just let their dogs run free. a local eagle scout, nathan poggemeyer, designed and built the dog park. he laid out the plans he raised the money and coordinated the collecting of materials, and worked with his scout troop and other volunteers to build the dog park. over a span of a few weeks. >> when it came time for me to do my eagle project, it kind of just seemed natural for me to come out and give back to the community. that's given so much to me growing up, and i have two dogs that i always bring out here, and so it just seemed like a good idea to give the community a space to let their dogs run free. >> it's wonderful. we've had to go to carmel or del rey oaks, or just go for a walk, but to let him loose is great. so he can

run, so we're happy. >> what do you think, pam? >> i think it's great. and those pups look very happy. yeah. >> officials say the monterey county has a long history of teaming up with the eagle scouts. and now there's another eagle scout project to build a playground for dogs at the new dog park. >> the bottom line is we're trying to keep our employees safe. we just want to make sure that they can come to work, be safe and be productive. >> four of oakland's biggest employers teaming up for safer streets. we'll tell you how they're investing millions of dollars for extra security in downtown oakland and muslim residents in san bruno demanding an apology from the mayor after feeling disrespected at a city council meeting. we'll tell you how city leaders are responding from ktvu. >> fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook.

it's friday march 29th. big question today. when can you walk the dog or take a run or be outside because rain is moving in. >> steve i think you're on your own today because it's already developing. i mean, it's you know, you maybe you'll get a break, but i'm not going to go that far here. 40s because it's already we already have thunderstorm activity to the north and rain is just moving in here. so 40s on the temps, lightning strikes already observed off the coast, and there's a pretty good line of thunderstorms, maybe just to the west of the bay area, that i think will mean everything is beginning to enhance here. so riders on the storm today? no, and i don't say storm very often, but this one is definitely in that category. wind and rain pick up cool high temps only 50s. that's it. warmer temps so early next week if you can just hang in there are usually on the morning commute. you know people are strange but hopefully today is quieter. is that correct? >> so i think so. you know it's cold steve. it is, it is. i'm going to after this, i'm going to go home and light my fire. and i don't blame him. yeah,

it's a good idea. it's like a winter day, almost a triple a, traffic cameras in a minute. but i want to show you westbound 580 as you drive through all the way out to 238. it looks good. and today, it being good friday, some schools are closed, offices are many offices and banks are closed. and we're going to have a lighter commute. right now, we don't see any real slow traffic via our triple a traffic camera here at the bay bridge at 601. let's go back to the desk. okay, sal. >> thank you. well, four of the biggest employers in oakland are teaming up to pay for extra security in downtown oakland. ktvu is amanda quintana is in oakland right now with the information. good morning. amanda >> good morning. yes. those four big companies that have headquarters here in oakland, kaiser pg and e, blue shield of california and clorox, all of them are teaming up for a program that's worth $10 million. and the point of this

program is to try to keep their employees safe as they are going to and from work. now, this group, they announced that they have this program that's meant to complement the work that the state, the city of oakland and the police department are doing to address crime in the city. the new security measures are set to roll out in the coming weeks with the creation of an uptown downtown safety zone. it will be an area staffed with off duty police officers and there will be buddy escorts as well to help people to and from places like offices and restaurants. and there will be transportation for employees to and from work and transit hubs, nearby parking lots and businesses. crime has been a serious issue for many of these employees. all four companies previously had their own security programs, but now they're joining together. >> we have a lot of pride in being in oakland. we look and plan to stay in oakland and, we feel like we need to be a part

of the solution here. there's been some challenges post covid, and oakland is not alone in those challenges. so trying to help the city through this any way that we can, is something that we feel is important. >> just a few months ago, kaiser put out a notice advising workers to stay inside for lunch after some employees were being robbed during their break. it also told employees to not have meetings in downtown oakland. right now, the program is funded through this year just through 2024. so what happens in 2025? that's still up for discussion. but the ceo of blue shield there, he did say that they think this program is indefinite. they're hoping to continue it until it is eventually not needed. and their employees feel safe. live in oakland amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, amanda thank you. time now. 604a man from concord has been convicted for throwing explosives out of his car while being chased by san francisco police. a jury convicted daniel garcia of several crimes,

and staff will meet with some of the residents who have been requesting a meeting to find a path forward that meeting has not been scheduled yet. many fans are excited that baseball is back, but a's fans showed up for opening day and thousands of them flooded the coliseum parking lot in a block party boycott. >> it's all because of the plans to take the team to las vegas. the same message could be heard both inside and outside the coliseum. fans calling on the owner to sell the team. fan groups the oakland 68 and the last dive bar called this the first day of their summer of boycott. >> i do not want to give them my money. i do not want to give john fisher my money anymore. >> we'll meet out here in the parking lot. it's a community, and we used to meet inside of the coliseum, but not this year. >> i feel like the team is being stolen from us with no say in it. so this is kind of how we're voicing our displeasure. >> organizers say they'll be boycotting in the coliseum parking lot all summer long, and

many fans tell us they plan to join. >> it is 6072 bay area groups, the oakland united coalition and the oakland 60 eights, are still fighting to keep the a's from leaving. they urge the alameda county board of supervisors to sell their stake in the coliseum to the city of oakland. the groups believe that would help fans, quote, take back control of this ballpark. they also say it would bring jobs, affordable housing and other opportunities for oakland residents. well a board member of the oakland 68 quintanar branch said, quote, we have a right to control our own greatest assets, especially when they're currently being controlled by folks who don't care about our town. we call upon the alameda county board of supervisors to stop the current course of action, and instead prioritize the interests of the community they're sworn to serve . if you want to stay on top of this baseball season just beginning, as well as all the developing news surrounding the

a's, go to our website ktvu .com. >> all right. >> let's check back in with sal. it should be pretty light i would think, because we have a holiday for many spring break next week. maybe just a well we didn't hear you for a second there. >> yeah. all right. maybe even next week. might be a touch lighter as we go out to our triple a traffic cameras. and the traffic is going to be busy. if you are driving on some of these commutes, but it's not stop and go. certainly there are people out there is what i'm trying to say, but it is not going to be stop and go traffic because of, you know, good friday, the spring break coming up. we're looking pretty good. no major issues here on the altamont pass, although there was a stalled vehicle that they cleared just a while ago. so i like where we're starting on this good friday at 609. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you sal. cracking down

on san francisco's open air drug markets. we are hearing from the candidates hoping to be the next mayor about how they plan to clean up the streets. plus we are here to demand better for our students and better from our schools. >> community leaders in oakland demanding more to be done to help black and brown students in oakland coming up, we tell you the message they have for a city and state leaders to bett

that has been dealing with on campus violence will not have a school resource officer in time for the next school year. now santa rosa mayor natalie rogers tells the press democrat that the holdup boils down to several unanswered questions, including who will fund the program and how long it will last. she said the committee that oversees the resource officer pilot program plans to apply for grants. a new report revealed that only a fraction of homeless infants and toddlers are enrolled in early childhood education program. now a national homeless advocacy organization says an increasing number of families with children under the age of three are staying in shelters, motels, temporary homes or living unsheltered, and researchers found nationally, only one out of every nine homeless infants and toddlers attended that those development programs in california. it's one out of every six. >> our time is 613. in san jose, more than 200 students at a

small charter school will be forced to transfer. alum rock high school is closing its campus this summer because of declining enrollments and budget deficits. downtown college prep, which operates the high school and three other campuses in san jose, voted on that closure plan earlier this month. the california state university system received a $1.5 million grant to expand ethnic study programs. now, the funding will go to existing programs and developing some new ones. the chancellors office also will host a convention with faculty from ethnic, gender and sexuality studies across the csu system to determine how that grant money will be distributed. it is now 614. the oakland school board votes next month on. a resolution is aimed at helping more black and students of color go to college. ktvu is andre seniors in the studio now

to tell us about this new push to get more minority students into college and higher education? >> well, dave, a new report finds only half of black and brown high school seniors in oakland meet the basic eligibility requirements for college. 35 oakland schools received awards last night for their efforts to prepare minority students for higher education. that's 35 out of 120 public schools in the city. a youth and education advocacy group called families in action for quality education released an annual study examining math and reading levels of oakland students. >> we know that without ensuring black and brown students read and do math at grade level, we will not be preparing our students to for opportunities in college. >> we got to stop hiding behind inflated graduation numbers and inflated grades because we're doing the children of oakland a disservice. >> families in action held a rally to announce the resolution , called raise the bar. it urges the oakland unified school district, board of education, board of education, and city

council to set goals to improve proficiency rates among black and brown students within the next decade. >> we need to go from incremental to a rocket type of acceleration of our curriculum. >> i'm super passionate about it because i've seen students that are like they have a lot of potential, but they don't know what what they need to do. >> the raise the bar study finds that about 30% of oakland students read or do math at their grade level, which is below the state average. families in action have also drafted a pledge and asked the public to sign it here. this pledge says people are not satisfied with current outcomes and do all they can to build an oakland with a better future. education goals include doubling math and reading scores and raising the percentage of college ready high schoolers to 80. dave and pam, back over to you. >> all right. thank you. andre, that is a good goal. >> yes it is. >> all right. let's check in with sal. still pretty quiet out

there for the commute. >> yeah. pam and dave and i think it will be today on this good friday. our triple a traffic cameras will show you in a minute. we do have a little slowing on the altamont pass because of an earlier stalled vehicle. and that commute always seems to have something going on. but highway four is light. that goes to show you what kind of a day we're going to have triple a traffic camera on the san mateo bridge looks okay. dumbarton bridge also looks good and the bay bridge is light. so you can see that traffic is going to be okay. so the time to hesitate is through. no time to wallow in the mire. get going. 616 let's bring steve in. >> i think i know what you did there, sal. that was clever. thank you sir. all right, let's take a look. if you look up or whatever, take a look at the screen here because you don't see this too often at the end of march. what what? right there. look at that. that is a big boy. that's an unseasonably strong system for the end of march. and it's already producing some lightning off the mendocino

coast, maybe northern sonoma coast. and look at the line that's forming just off your house and mine. look at that coming in right there. so we're on our way here. light what's called the warm advection light. overrunning rain has already started. the thunderstorms with hail likely half inch to three inches of rain. i think santa cruz mountains gets the most wind advisory. starts at 11:00. goes to 5 a.m. tomorrow. the deepest moisture will get helped along by what's called the llj. that's the low level jet stream. when that takes that moisture and lifts it up over the coastal hills, you can get some big time rain. so that puts, i'd say, mount tamalpais in the santa cruz mountains in line for probably some of the biggest totals as we go into not only tonight but saturday as well. and you can see it's being advertised for santa cruz. at over two inches of rain. ben lomond will get more than that. if santa cruz gets two. but san rafael, i mean, if they get in 144, that's 275 to 3 for mount tamalpais. so we'll mention that i knew the wind advisory would include areas to the north, and

they did. and that starts at 11:00 and goes through 5 a.m. rain and wind for your friday and for the sierra. i think wind is a bigger story. initially before the snow starts to kick in later tonight. overnight into saturday, snow level will bounce higher then come down as we go into the colder air tonight and tomorrow. south wind southeast already beginning to increase. activity is just offshore. it's knocking on the door. come on in . well, maybe not yet, but it's on its way. and that system will come right to the coast, right to us. and then go down the coast, impacting not only us, but central and southern california for the entire weekend. so cloudy, cool morning, a chilly day with temps in the 50s. thunderstorms likely as well along with wind and rain. so this is quite a system for this time of year and i call it as i see it. no, no, i don't hype it or anything, but we'll take that into saturday. i think we get a break sunday morning. clouds pop up sunday afternoon and look at that next tuesday, 732, sunny and warm. wow. >> all right, steve thank you. time now. 619 will the a's hope their second game of the season won't be a repeat of game number

one? the announced attendance at the game was more than 13,000. but you look around the coliseum , it looked a lot emptier and the offense of the a's lacked any punch. they only had four hits and they were shut out as the guardians opened the season with an eight to nothing blowout . >> but as long as they're supporting us in whatever way that may be, you know, whether it's inside the stadium or watching the game outside to have them show up for something they believe in, you know, you can't knock them for that. >> they definitely came out to watch us and support us, which, you know, obviously is great. you'd love to play better. >> yeah. the a's finished last year with a major league worst record 112 losses. well, tonight the starting pitcher ross stripling, was oh and five last season. >> a bay area soccer fans have been waiting for months for the first home game for bay fc women's professional soccer. the team hosted a news conference with san jose mayor matt mahan

ahead of tomorrow's sold out game, the mayor was presented with a bay fc letterman's jacket. mayor mahan says the city takes a lot of pride in their professional teams, but that bay fc has a unique place in san jose's heart. >> this one is special because it's the first professional women's sports team in the entire region, and in a place as progressive as the bay area, it's kind of shocking that we haven't had a professional women's team here yet, but we are so proud to be home to bay fc. we, you know, we're a soccer town. >> tomorrow's game will be at paypal park, which is also the home of the san jose earthquakes. make sure to tune in saturday morning as well at 830 for our bay fc special right here on ktvu. well, californians, we're dealing with soaring electricity bills. the relief that may be on the way after a proposed change in the billing system, plus the climate is marvelous and the sea is even more marvelous.

>> marvelous. and so if you add all of that together, it's a great decision as far as i'm concerned. >> is the grass truly greener on the other side? why? a record number of americans are leaving the u.s. seeking new norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. i gotta get this deal... that's like $20 a month per unlimited line... i don't want to miss that. that's amazing doc. mobile savings are calling. visit xfinitymobile.com to learn more.

regulations and ensuring workplace protections. however, it is imprudent to move forward with a cost estimate that is off by billions of dollars. we are exploring all options to put these worker protections in place, including working with the legislature. it's a major change to the census and other public surveys. for the first time in 27 years, the federal government is changing how it categorizes people by race and ethnicity. officials are hoping to more accurately count people who identify as hispanic, middle eastern or north african heritages. questions about race and ethnicity that previously were asked separately on forms will now be combined into a single question. people will also have the option to pick more than one race. a growing number of americans are moving overseas. the number of u.s. citizens moving to the european union started to rise after the 2016 election. relocation companies say the trend kicked off during the pandemic. many americans are pointing to

steve, you know things could be still dicey. so keep your eyes on the road and keep your hands upon the wheel. bay bridge toll plaza from our triple a traffic camera, you can see that traffic is moving along pretty well. no major issues if you are driving on the san mateo bridge. so it is good friday. we're going to have a lighter commute, but just beware that the weather may complicate your driving this weekend. 631 let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal. one person was killed in a shooting last night near san francisco's powell street bart station. ktvu ali rasmus joins us now with what we know so far about what happened. ali >> pam, we know when and where this happened, but the other details on this are fairly limited. let's start with what time this all happened. 930 yesterday evening near the powell street bart station in an area called holiday plaza. that's the area, the platform

just below the escalators outside the powell street bart station, next to the cable car turnaround. that's where this shooting happened around 930, and san francisco police say when they arrived, they discovered one person had been shot more than once. even though medics tried to help revive the person. the person died from those gunshot wounds at the scene. now, police say there have been no arrests and we don't know anything about a possible motive or any suspect descriptions or anything about what may have led up to this shooting homicide detectives closed off the plaza and the entrance to the palace street bart station last night, although trains did continue to run through the station, service is back to normal again this morning and that station has reopened. but we are waiting to get more details and information from san francisco police again. one person was killed in a shooting that happened outside the palace street bart station last night. that station has though reopened live in san francisco. ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, ali thank you. time 633 now we're hearing from the

candidates for mayor of san francisco about how they plan to clean up the streets. homeless and drug dealing in the city are two of the big issues in the race. ktvu asked mayor breed and her challengers for how they plan to solve it. the proposals include declaring a state of emergency and bringing in more state resources to san francisco's streets. >> we need results, and if that requires asking the state and the federal government for additional law enforcement personnel, i'm prepared to do exactly that up to and including national guard. >> yes, absolutely. >> not only have we made arrests of over 2000 dealers and users with the goal of getting people treatment and holding drug dealers accountable, but even just last night, there was a big operation of over 50 arrests because of the work that we're doing. >> i would have a satellite office of the mayor at the tenderloin police station. the mayor needs to be on the ground seeing that on a day to day basis, marshaling the resources

of the city. >> i'm the only candidate in this race with a comprehensive plan backed by law enforcement and behavioral health experts, to tackle the crisis on our streets. and so we need to do this. we should be doing it now. i will do it on day one of my administration. >> now, homeless advocates say these proposals focus on law enforcement making arrests, but they don't address the underlying issues of mental health and drug and alcohol dependency. >> in the santa clara county sheriff's office says deputies have arrested a third suspect in connection to a vta copper theft. 55 year old michael reeder was arrested on several charges, including grand theft, vandalism and possession of a stolen vehicle. two other suspects were arrested for the crime earlier this month. they are all suspected of stealing copper wire from vta, valued at about $10,000. well, the largest crane on the eastern seaboard is now arriving by barge in baltimore to help remove the wreckage from the deadly bridge

collapse. >> and the search for the four workers who were still missing can't resume until that debris is cleared. >> step one of that is we're going to clear the debris from the channel. step two is we're going to remove the vessel. >> the governor of maryland says the best minds in the world are working on plans to remove the collapsed bridge so the port can reopen to prevent a massive impact to the local as well as the national economy. >> the port handles more cars and more farm equipment than any other port in america. >> engineers are saying building a new bridge could take years and hundreds of millions of dollars, as commercial crab season will end early, california's department of fish and wildlife will shut down dungeness crab fishing beginning at 6:00 the night of april 8th. >> now, the closure stretches all the way from the sonoma mendocino county line all the way down to the mexico border. the state says. aerial and vessel survey reports show humpback whales are starting to

return to the coast, and they could get tangled up by the nets and crab traps. recreational crab traps will also be prohibited between sonoma, mendocino county and santa barbara county. >> all right, pam, 636 right back to sal castaneda. it looks like it's pretty light right now on this good friday. so yeah, that's right. >> a lot of people do have the day off to observe the religious holiday. and even if you do not observe it, you are going to notice the traffic is lighter forever. you're going today westbound bay bridge. you can see it is lighter. definitely. the markets are closed and a lot of banks and, other businesses are closed today. and that's making us a little bit. well, even lighter than a friday light, i would say san mateo bridge traffic looks good. there have been no major issues out there. traffic is moving along very well on 280 as you drive up the highway. 17. been looking at some of these other commutes

here, getting into the south bay like gilroy to morgan hill. on fridays, we take a look and traffic is okay. if you're driving and trying to break on through to santa clara or santa cruz. pardon me, it looks pretty good. steve has been talking about the weather and that may complicate your drive during the weekend. so without further ado, let's bring steve back in here and talk about this weekend's weather. >> i'm going to try and break on through the other side as soon as i get out of here, sal, because i need to get home. can i make a point here? watch out on the bridges, sal. especially later today, because the wind gusts could. i mean, about two weeks ago, it was rocking on the benicia bridge. i'll tell you, i never felt it like that. and we could see similar later today. tonight. so any of the bay area bridges. keep that in mind. look at that system. that's that's a that's a beauty, steve. he always gets so happy when there's bad weather. no i don't i'm just, you know, for six months out of the year i don't even think talk about it because of fog. but boy for the end of march this is a heck of a

system. already, lightning strikes off the mendocino coast, and there's a pretty good line that's just to the west of us. i think this is going to trigger some brief heavy rain, maybe some thunderstorms was already punching in around santa cruz. so it's on its way here. thunderstorms possible hail, unseasonably strong deep system, which means strong friday and saturday. rainfall, wind and also thunderstorms. it looks to me everything is pointing towards around the santa cruz. maybe, maybe around mount tamalpais. but santa cruz mountains with a strong southwest wind, deep moisture, and that strong upslope, you could get some pretty hefty totals here between today, tonight and into saturday. and that's what this forecast model is indicating as well. santa cruz showing 214 on the rainfall. ben lomond 178. they'll get more than that. san rafael 144 that would be a two and a half easy for mount tamalpais. wind advisories out 11 a.m. friday to 5 a.m. saturday. so we're not there yet, but the wind is beginning to pick up, so rain and wind for your friday if you're heading to the mountains, i would go as soon as you can because it will be wind first and then snow

coming in tonight. you guys. i just distinctly remember feeling really left out. >> i actually have this memory of feeling a little bit resentful that i couldn't leave her of this eclipse in some way. >> well, you won't be left out. we'll show you how astronomers are making sure that even people who can't see the solar eclipse next month will still be able to experience it in their own way. >> very nice, i love that. all right, let's check in with garcia in our newsroom for the other stories we're following for you. good morning. good morning. >> the city of detroit is getting ready to host the nfl draft here in less than a month by getting some help from a couple of falcons. and we are not talking about the atlanta falcons. new at seven. how the big birds are helping to get that city ready for a flood of tourists. then one of hollywood's biggest stars, leonardo dicaprio, was spotted throughout northern california earlier this year filming a movie. well today we've learned
