along at home throw in your own sal can beat both all of us here. he's the best at it. 50 on the temps i've used break on through to the other side, but it's just a quiet commute, so we can't do too much, can we? >> no, but you know what? some people are strange. they're not going to get what we're doing, steve. well, and that's fine. that's fine. yeah. it's fine. you can see that northbound 280 getting up to highway 17 is off to a good start. let's go ahead and start with our traffic cameras there. it does look pretty good. and there have been no major issues here. as you drive on the south bay freeways or really for any sort of freeway out there because of the religious holidays today, this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. it is light. so i think that you are going to have a pretty easy commute unless something happens. that's why we're here, just in case. 702 let's go back to the desk. okay, sal. >> thank you. new and a sad story this morning. legendary movie star louis gossett jr has just died. he appeared in many

hit tv shows and movies. he starred in the miniseries roots. and then in 1982, he became the first black man to win an oscar in the best supporting actor category for the unforgettable role of the marine drill instructor in an officer and a gentleman in one of his cousins, said lou gossett died last night in santa monica. the cause of death has not been reported. lou gossett jr was known for breaking racial and cultural barriers in hollywood for decades. among his other productions, the story of satchel paige and the josephine baker story and the color purple, and many, many more. louis gossett jr dead at the age of 87. >> time now is 703. san francisco police are searching for more people who may be involved in a deadly shooting at a plaza that's connected to the busy powell bart street station. >> yeah, it happened about 930 last night. police found one person who'd been shot. the name

of the victim hasn't been released yet. two people have been detained and a gun was recovered. >> as far as danger, we are still looking for possible suspects. again, this is an ongoing investigation. >> and do you have anybody that you've taken into custody or taken in for questioning? >> we do have two individuals detained at this point. we don't know what their involvement is. so we're still figuring that out. and despite that shooting, both bart and muni were still running. >> however, the entrance of the powell street station from that plaza was sealed off because of the police investigation. >> an across the bay, four of oakland's biggest employers are coming together to pay for extra security downtown. >> ktvu is amanda quintana is in oakland right now. you have more information. good morning amanda. >> good morning. yes four big companies with headquarters in oakland kaiser, clorox, pg and e and blue shield of california, all of them teaming up to create this $10 million program with

the goal of trying to keep their employees safe as they go to and from work. now, this group announced this program yesterday , and they say it's meant to complement the work that state, city of oakland and 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, 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, and all four companies previously had their own security programs, but now they're 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 break. it also told employees to not have meetings in downtown oakland. now. right now, this program is funded through the end of this year. so what happens in 2025 is not yet set in stone, but the ceo of blue shield did say he believes this program is indefinite. he hopes that they're going to continue to have it until they do not need to have it anymore, and their employees feel safe. live in oakland. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news amanda, thank you. >> staying in oakland, police are investigating a deadly shooting in the brookfield village neighborhood. officers say they received several reports about a person who was shot at 415 yesterday afternoon. this happened on louvain avenue, just east of 880. paramedics rushed to the scene. the victim later died at the hospital. no word yet on arrests or what led

to the shooting. >> our time now. 706. many fans are really excited. the baseball season is back. but as the a's fans showed up for opening day, thousands of them flooded the parking lot of the coliseum in a block party boycott. now, even though plans are still in place for the a's to move to las vegas, many a's fans are staying loyal to their team. the same message could be heard both inside and outside of the coliseum. fans calling on the owner to sell the ballclub. thousands of a's fans, faithful decided to boycott the game to protest a's owner john fisher's plans to move the team to vegas 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 now. >> organizers say they'll be boycotting and the coliseum parking lot all summer, and many fans say they will join them. >> two bay area groups, the oakland united coalition and the oakland 68, 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 group says that would help fans take back control of the ballpark. they also say it would bring jobs, affordable housing and other opportunities to oakland residents. board member of the oakland 68 quintana branch said, 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 are sworn to serve. we are staying on top of what could be the a's final season in oakland. you can find past reports and get developing

experiencing holiday conditions today as today's good friday. so if you are driving out there, make sure you don't get going too fast. and of course you know that the rain is going to be moving in over the weekend. so you might want to plan if you can, not to be driving during that. 710. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. well, governor newsom announced he's installing hundreds of high tech cameras around the east bay, including on freeways. we tell you more about where these cameras will be installed. >> only half of all black and latino high school seniors in one bay area city are meeting the requirements to go to college, but one district is doing to cnge

let's bring steve back. thank you, kind sir. >> folks are enjoying the door's banter. sal who's joined it. the folks out there. >> oh i know yeah i've gotten messages. >> same here. so thank you folks . sal's better at it than i am. but look at this system. what are you i can't see, i see you don't. there you go. look at that. it's continuing to what we call deepen. what's that mean? get stronger and it's going to bottom out. probably this evening. right. just to the west of the bay are already lightning strikes observed. so this is right there off the mendocino coast, and lines are beginning to move in. light rain has already started for some, maybe even more than that moderate rain. but look at these. get some of these individual cells beginning to just punch in santa cruz coast are right there and right there. i think things are about ready to light up, so to speak, here. thunderstorms, possible hail, unseasonably strong system for us friday and saturday. wind advisory starts pretty soon. the winds not too bad yet. still looks like around mount tamalpais, somewhere in marin county and santa cruz

mountains will take the brunt of the rainfall here. the setup is just i almost ideal for them and this kind of a pattern. southwest facing slopes. and you take this deep moisture, you lift it and boy, you can get some pretty good rain out of it. 11 a.m. wind advisory goes through 5 a.m. saturday. we should start to see some breaks on saturday, but there'll still be some rain and thunderstorms popping up all over. i think all the way into saturday afternoon evening. south southeast wind on the way, rain beginning to pick up here. so if you need to do something, do it fast because i think we're about to go downhill here. you just don't see a low of this nature that often at the end of march. for us, this is one for the books, rain and wind for your friday stronger system. i don't say storm very often, but this one definitely qualifies. so winter storm warning starts in the mountains. wind might be a bigger factor though initially than snow. rain wind, thunderstorms. again, cool. highs here. temps only in the 50s. sunday morning i think we'll get a break sunday morning. by sunday afternoon evening though, i think we see clouds building up again that

early next week. look at that. some low 70s on the forecast steve thank you. >> a celebrity sighting in northern california early this year. we now know when leonardo dicaprio's new movie is set to hit the big screen. >> and in just a couple of weeks, the nfl draft begins in detroit this year's host city, getting help from a couple of falcons. and i'm not talking about the atlanta falcons. we tell you how these big birds are help to get

i was like shaking you know, i was so scared. when i first reached out to jacoby and meyers. i didn't know if i had a case or not. as soon as i got a hold of my attorney, she was very, very nice, very kind. because of jacoby and meyers, i don't have that pressure to worry about a medical bill or things like that. if i know of any accident, i'm like, call jacoby and meyers, they'll help you.

after the 2016 election, and that trend increased during the pandemic. reasons for the move range from public safety to politics, safety reasons, and for politics reasons. >> our boston market had a mass shooting. the local pizza place that i went to on a regular basis had a mass shooting. >> there's nobody good to vote for. there's nobody who's going to help the country. >> we anticipate with this coming elections that it becomes even more, you know, relevant for people to act on it. >> americans most often move to france, spain, germany, the netherlands and italy. >> our time now 723. the city of detroit getting ready to host the nfl draft in a couple of weeks. and they're borrowing some tips from the bay area to make sure everything goes well. now, beginning april 25th, detroit will host the three day

draft, and officials want to make sure their city of detroit looks inviting for visitors. they're taking all kinds of actions to clean up the city, including, yeah, they're bringing in falcons to the downtown area. >> and then we're walking around with these birds, and we're using them as a visual cue to keep away starlings and pigeons from the area here. >> yeah. city officials worried that birds like pigeons will swoop around and bother visitors . so they brought in a group called scare force. they use birds of prey to scare away other birds. you remember a couple of years ago, bart had a similar problem with pigeons, and bart used a hawk to scare away pigeons. >> bay area soccer fans have only one more day before the inaugural home game for the bay fc women's professional soccer team, the team hosted a news conference with san jose mayor matt mehan ahead of tomorrow's sold out match gave him a bay fc

letterman jacket. mayor mehan said the city takes a lot of pride in its professional teams, and 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. >> and this coming saturday morning, make sure you join us as fox local presents women's soccer. a new bay area ktvu takes a look at the inaugural season of bay fc, the new nwsl expansion team representing the bay area ahead of the club's first ever home opener. we're hearing from the co-founders of the team, the general manager. we're also catching up with one of the players who was born and raised right here in the bay area. >> i grew up going to earthquakes games all the time

with my family, and so i'm very familiar with that stadium. but i think being on the field and actually playing on it and seeing all those fans cheering for us, i think it's just going to be one of the best moments of my career, right? >> so make sure you tune in saturday morning, 8:30 a.m, for our bay fc special. it's happening right here on ktvu. time now 725. hundreds of cameras will be installed in oakland and on east bay freeways . new at 7:00. we have the details of the latest announcement from the governor to crack down on crime. >> four workers remain missing this morning. following that, baltimore bridge collapse. what officials say needs to happen at the site of the disaste b e the

>> well, good morning to you. thank you for joining us. and welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it is friday, march 29th. if you have outside things to do, maybe pulling weeds, as we were doing in our neighborhood yesterday, steve paulson now's the time to do it right. >> i think today is iffy for anything, anything today. but yeah, if you want to go as soon as you can because we're already seeing this system move onshore here, the wind will be bringing be picking up here, but it continues to deepen, which means getting stronger. and rain has already developed here, maybe even some line of lightning off on the mendocino coast. so we're in the mix. we're in the soup, so to speak, here. and we are all riders on the storm today. no doubt about it. cloudy cool morning light to moderate rain, maybe some thunderstorms. both wind and rain pick up and it's unbelievably cool. temps for us this time of year. end of march with 50s out there today. well on the morning commute for a friday. is anyone breaking a sweat or are we good to go out there, we're good to go. but, steve, i would advise for

drivers to keep your hands on the or your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel. how could i mess that up? my goodness, it's friday. give me a little slack. let's go out and take a look at the westbound bay bridge. that looks okay. and i'm being serious here. you will need to be driving extra carefully in these conditions that steve just mentioned. so keep that in the back of your mind. it might be a good weekend to stay at home if you don't have to go anywhere because of the storm moving in, you can see 80 looks good. this is not much of a commute as today as good friday, and a lot of people do have the day off. 730 let's go back to the desk okay. >> so thank you. we have developing news right now. governor newsom announced the city of oakland will be getting 480 surveillance cameras mounted on city streets and on highways. the purpose investigate crimes like car thefts. ktvu is ali rasmus is here. now. you have all the latest details. good morning alex. >> good morning dave. yeah those

details just coming in in the last hour. 480 surveillance cameras on city streets and along highways in oakland from interstate 580, in downtown to the beleaguered hegenberger corridor. the governor made the announcement in a 32nd video he released on social media this morning. it was a prerecorded video near hegenberger avenue, so we did not have a chance to ask him any specific questions about this plan he just announced. but his office said that the california highway patrol and the oakland police have signed a contract together with a company called flock safety. flock safety is the same company behind the license plate reader cameras that already exist in many other bay area communities like piedmont, san leandro and now berkeley. the cameras that are being installed in oakland, though, will do more than just track license plates, according to the governor's office. they will also be able to identify the make and model of vehicles and other features specific to the car, like roof racks and bumper stickers. the cameras can track the vehicles in real time, and that video will be stored for 28 days after the broad strategy, not just a

law enforcement only strategy to begin to beautify this extraordinary community here in oakland and support the surrounding community. according to the governor's office, 290 cameras will be installed on city streets in oakland and 190 along highways in oakland and the east bay. so beyond just the city limits of oakland, we're working to learn more details on this developing story. we'll have another update for you in the next hour of mornings on two. >> gasia ali. thank you. leading candidates challenging mayor london breed in the november election are releasing their plans to deal with the city's drug overdose crisis. for many, the mayoral race comes down to increasing public safety and reducing homelessness and drug activity in the city. ktvu spoke with mayor breed and her challengers about their proposals, including 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. >> advocates for people who are homeless say the proposals focus on law enforcement making arrests without addressing the underlying issues of mental health and drug and alcohol dependency. >> our time now 734, $26 million

was raised last night by the biden campaign at a celebrity packed fundraiser in new york city. at long last, sir, have, you know, chip shot late night tv host stephen colbert led a discussion with president biden and former presidents barack obama and bill clinton. there were also many celebrities at the event. the 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. >> police are the greatest people we have. there's nothing and there's nobody like them. and this should never happen. >> now trump will be back on the campaign trail next week. he'll be in michigan and wisconsin. >> cryptocurrency mogul sam bankman-fried plans to appeal his conviction and sentencing. a new york judge sentenced him to 25 years in federal prison for fraud and conspiracy. prosecutors accused the co-founder of ftx of defrauding investors and customers of more than $11 billion, before the crypto exchange collapsed.

>> 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. >> the judge strongly admonished bankman-fried, but the sentence was less than a quarter of the maximum for his convictions. the 25 year sentence could be reduced with good behavior 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. >> bankman-fried's parents attended the sentencing, both taught at stanford. his mother asked the judge for leniency. bankman-fried could be sent to a minimum security prison here in california. >> our time now. 736. the biggest crane on the eastern seaboard just arrived by barge in baltimore to help remove the

wreckage from that deadly bridge collapse. we're looking live out there right now. that's the scene as we speak, that crane will be critical to clearing debris from the channel. and the search for four missing workers can't resume until they clear that debris. >> 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. >> now, the governor of maryland says the best minds in the world are working on plans to remove the metal and concrete remains of that collapsed bridge so that the port can reopen without a huge impact to the local and national economy. >> the port handles more cars and more farm equipment than any other port in america, and the engineers are saying building a new bridge could take years and hundreds of millions of dollars. >> 737 let's check the bay area morning commute. it's a even a

better friday than typical fridays, right? >> yeah. and because of the good friday holiday. there, garcia and dave, i do believe a lot of people are not going. they have the day off. or perhaps they're observing what they do on good friday. but one thing we know for sure is that the commute is going to be lighter, even lighter than a friday light. sometimes on fridays we have lighter conditions. this is even lighter than that. we haven't had any backups at the bay bridge this morning, or any backups on highway 24 or even highway four has been lighter because of good friday. usually happens every, every year at this time. and next week. a lot of people do have spring break. so we do have and some people have had it this week. so we'll see what happens and how that affects your morning commute. this is a look at interstate 880. and you can see that traffic looks good. but the complication is the weather is coming in. and, i thought this was the end of winter, but it's not steve.

>> even next weekend, sal looks like another system dropping in. wow. that's that beat. i mean, into april, you're like, okay, but we have not had, i think, the longest stretch we've had of dry weather going back to december was seven days. that's almost unheard of for us now. we have i was telling garcia yesterday, we have not had a lot of rain. we're on near average, but we've had a lot of number of days of. rain, even if it's only a 10th of an inch or a quarter of an inch. all right. our system is beginning to make its move really impressive for the end of march. the only caveat, i would say is the upper low and the surface low, which are bottoming out here. it probably by this evening might just be a little too far offshore. now, if they move a little bit closer, then all bets are off. but it's going to be close. call either way, we're going to get wind and rain out of this. and i think some thunderstorms will pop up already. some lightning strikes off the mendocino coast and the line is beginning to form here,

coming in on parts of the santa cruz coast on the peninsula as well. and boy, this is happening fast. so we're you know, this is you're we're getting the prefrontal and then we'll get the front. the low will be the key on all this. but thunderstorms with hail wind advisory as well. santa cruz mountains, mount tamalpais, marin county i think will get the most rain out of this. they're in the favorable setup for this kind of a pattern, but pretty dynamic and vigorous system for this time of year. but santa cruz, you can see over two inches being forecast between now and late late saturday, early sunday. wind advisory starts at 11 a.m. friday goes through 5 a.m. saturday. should start to see some breaks saturday afternoon, but i do. i do think we'll continue to have some activity taking us well into the weekend here. strong southeast wind beginning to show itself, lines forming here, so we'll get some moderate heavy rain. then we'll pick up this whole scenario later this afternoon. tonight, as the system continues to get stronger before it starts to slide down the coast. this will be probably a bigger deal for central california and also southern california, because they could get some excessive rainfall down there. winter storm warning starts takes us into sunday morning as well. rain. wind. thunderstorms. cloudy. cool morning light to

moderate rain, but rain and wind will continue to pop up throughout the day with really cool lows. so can you give us some nice weather? yes, but probably not until early next week. >> i just distinctly remember feeling really left out. i actually have this memory of feeling a little bit resentful that i couldn't be a part of this eclipse in some way. >> well, astronomers are making sure people who can't see the solar eclipse next month will still be able to experience it in their own way. we'll tell you what we mean after the break. >> a quick run out to our newsroom. now we'll bring us andre senior. as you look ahead to the next hours of mornings on two. >> well, an east bay woman following her father's footsteps will tell you about the bay area's barrier breaking first female drag racer. and while that type of racing is legal, the next one is not. when you join us on the nine, a nine year old leading police on a chase, tearing through the streets of a northern california city and

>> even though we can't see something, it doesn't mean that we can't experience something, you know, we have a lot of different senses and different ways of, enjoying different experiences. >> it's going to be inclusive and having any technology that makes it possible for us to have an experience, an actual experience, rather than somebody simply describing it to us, is always fantastic. >> now the eclipse happens on april the 8th. however the bay area won't be in a good position to see it. the path of the eclipse goes from mazatlan and mexico, across the central part of the u.s, and then into canada. >> a 105 year old man is looking forward to seeing his 13th eclipse next month. he's a retired engineer who's built, among other things, his own telescopes, says he's been interested in astronomy since high school. his dedication to

watching eclipses has led him to drive, fly, even take sea cruises around the world. >> well, first solar. it was 1963, i got a list of them on the table. 1963 1972. that means 79, 84, 88, 91, 94, 20 1223, 2017, 2023, we want to. >> visser says he has memories, photos and other keepsakes from his travels around the world. i hope that high school teacher, i wish that high school teacher could hear those words. now because you get that inspiration when you're, you know, 14 and it lasts your whole life long. >> i love him, garcia. all right, well, i love sal, too, because he knows how to get you to where you need to go. how's it look out there, dave, it looks great. and, garcia, it looks great. so i said dave and garcia. it looks great out there, if you are driving on this, day, it is good friday.

some people do have the day off. markets are closed, and it is going to be a very nice drive all over the bay area. don't go too fast. you know, chp doesn't take time off, but, it's cold out there. oh my goodness. you know, steve and i talk about that. this could be one of those weekends where i stay inside and light my fire and sit by the fireplace because, boy, this is supposedly spring, but it's cold. in fact, let's without further ado, let's bring steve back in here to talk about the weather. because you and i have been talking about this all morning. it's march is going out like a lion, not only that, sal. >> i plan on being home at 5 to 1, no doubt about it. >> there you go. >> thank you. sir. i'm trying to contain my enthusiasm. you get too excited when there's. i know, i know, but this is a big system for the end of march, and sal is absolutely spot on. it is cold out there. rain has started already, and some of the forecast projections really

deepen this system even more. which means what stronger? the only only bugaboo would be? it might stay a little bit too far offshore being the surface low and the upper low, which is right there. it will be close enough that we have to mention it, but that's the only fly in the ointment i could see is that it might just stay a bit too far offshore, for in order for it to be what we consider a home run. but boy, it's close. all the ingredients are there. rain is moving onshore. many of you probably already have some by now. and sal's right. it's cold out there. look at that beginning to slice into the san mateo coast peninsula. santa cruz, santa cruz mountain, san jose area. our good friend john borelli just sent me a message on twitter, said cold rain down here. that's true. that's why it's going to be unseasonably strong system for friday and saturday for the end of march. it is going out like a big, cold, roaring lion. thunderstorms possible with hail. i think marin county, santa cruz mountains will get the most rain out of this. after everything's said and done, we should actually start to see a few breaks by saturday as the low starts to go down the coast.

but i don't, you know, i just keep an eye on things here going all the way, even into sunday afternoon evening. but marin county and santa cruz area looks to be the brunt of what would be the heaviest rain wind will be picking up here. wind advisory starts at 11:00, goes through 5 a.m. you know, i try not to hype anything. no hyperbole as i say, but this is a pretty good looking system for us for the end of march. and it's more of a winter like, not a spring system. but, you know, we're just we're just early into spring technically, but you can see the system moving onshore. the front still has a ways to go that low continues to wrap up. and now again, see how far off it is though it needs to move a little bit more to the east. and that's kind of that's kind of the fine line there. will it move far enough east to give us more activity. but winter storm where this is more of a rain and wind system than i think it is snow system, but wind going up 15 to 80 might be a bigger issue today than snow by tonight and tomorrow. rain, wind, possible thunderstorms here 50 on the high. really cool day for us here, the good news is, though, i think by the time we get to early next week, we'll be back

into some low 70s. >> look at that. monday, tuesday, steve, thank you, 750 for getting behind the wheel and breaking barriers. what caused the bay area's first black female drag racer to have a major change of heart and take to the track after swearing she'd never follow in her father's footsteps? then it's one of the first things people see when they visit the oakland zoo. what's new there that's bigger and better than before? charged with style. the fully-electric audi q4 e-tron. get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer.

rain. they'll be wind. so we'll be the writers on the storm today. if you have to take care of something, i think you're on your own by now. it's just already beginning to move in and wind and rain pick up an unseasonably cool for us with temperatures in the 50s. 8:00 on a friday morning, feet on the desk yet or something new happen. >> well, you know, i wouldn't say feet on the desk, but it has been a very nice commute. it's good friday, and, you know, this is the end of the week, the end of the month, and we don't have a lot going on when it comes to this march commute. the last one in march, let's take a look at these commutes. you know, steve has been saying the weather is not going to be great, so, again, keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel, because it might be dicey driving around the bay area this weekend, as steve said. so make plans accordingly. 802 let's go back to the desk. so thank you. >> new this morning, hollywood is remembering the life and legacy of legendary actor louis gossett jr. gossett appeared in

pg and e and blue shield of california. they're all teaming up for this $10 million program for more security around this area to try to keep their employees safe. they put out an announcement yesterday saying that they would have this program. they say it's meant to complement the work that the state, city of oakland and police department are doing to address crime here. the new security measures are set to roll out in the coming weeks with the 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 the employees around here. 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. >> parking is just, you know, it could be dangerous. like, you know, making, you know, thinking that your car is not going to be safe or it's going to be broken into that's, you know, that's just not something that and it's all over. >> 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 not to have meetings in downtown oakland. so far, there's only funding to have this program through 2024. so for 2025, they're not really sure yet what's going to happen. but the ceo of blue shield did say he thinks this program is indefinite. he hopes to have it until they no longer need it. and their employees feel safe going to and from work. live in

oakland. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda, thank you. we'll stay in oakland as police are investigating a deadly shooting in the brookfield village neighborhood. police say they received several reports about a person who was shot around 415 yesterday afternoon. this happened on louvain avenue, just east of 880. paramedics rushed to the scene. the victim later died at the hospital. no word yet on arrest or what led to the shooting. >> 805 now san francisco police are searching for more people who may be involved in a deadly shooting at a plaza that's part of the powell street bart station. it happened around 930 last night. police found one person who had been shot. the victim's name has not been released. two people were detained and a gun recovered. >> as far as danger, we are still looking for possible suspects. again, this is an ongoing investigation. >> and do you have anybody that you've taken into custody or taken in for questioning? >> we do have two individuals detained at this point. we don't know what their involvement is. so we're still figuring that out . >> and despite that shooting, both bart and muni were still running. however, the entrance

to the powell street station from that plaza was sealed off because of the police investigation. baseball's opening day brought thousands of a's fans to the coliseum, parking lot in what they called a block party boycott. >> even as the team is moving forward with plans for a new stadium in las vegas, many fans are staying loyal to the a's. paid attendance was about half of what it was for the first game last year. many of those never made it inside the ballpark. there was a united message inside and outside the coliseum, fans calling on the owner to sell the team. thousands of a's fans opted to boycott the game in protest of the a's owner, john fisher's, plans to move to vegas 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 the 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 the coliseum parking lot all summer long. many fans say they plan to join. >> meantime, two bay area groups, the oakland united coalition and the oakland 68, are still fighting to keep the a's from leaving. they urged the alameda county board of supervisors to sell their stake in the coliseum to the city of oakland. the group says that would help fans take back control of this ballpark. they also say it would bring jobs, affordable housing and other opportunities for oakland residents. now a board member of the oakland 68 swintonia 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 are sworn to serve. we're staying on top of what could be the a's final season in oakland. you can find past reports and developing news on the a's at our website, ktvu dot com. >> it's 808. >> and, we i don't know, steve and i were joking about this

earlier because we're doing door songs, in case you haven't noticed. but, you know, i keep saying keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel. well, look at this, and it's no joke. it's windy. the rain has started. it looks like, on the san mateo bridge. so we're serious about this. please drive carefully in this weather that is coming, that's going to hit the bay area. this weekend. and, you know, this might be the weekend for you to hunker down at home. if that sounds good to you, it might be the best thing to do. today is good friday. a lot of people do have the day off. for example, stock market is closed. a lot of the financial people aren't working for sure. this is a look at interstate 80 and that traffic looks good in both directions. so you're not going to get a typical commute today. 808 let's go back to the desk. >> well, governor newsom announcing he is installing hundreds of high tech cameras around the east bay, including on freeways. more on where those cameras will be installed and staggering statistics on how black and latino high school seniors in oakland are far behind their peers when it comes

last, she said the committee that oversees the resource officer pilot program plans to apply for grants. the california state university system received a $1.5 million grant to expand its ethnic studies programs, funding will go to existing programs and developing new ones. >> the chancellor's office will also host a convention with faculty from ethnic, gender and sexuality studies across the csu system to help determine how that grant money will be distributed. >> the oakland school board votes next week on a resolution aimed at helping more black and latino students get into college. a new report finds half of the high school seniors among these minority groups do not meet the basic eligibility requirements. 35 oakland public schools received awards last night for their effort to prepare minority students for higher education. >> we want to amplify these successes. we want to focus and make sure we're building on what's working because 35 out of 120 is not enough. >> we got to stop hiding behind inflated graduation numbers and inflated grades because we're doing the children of oakland a disservice.

>> an advocacy group called families in action held a rally to announce the resolution, called raise the bar. it urges the oakland unified school district board of education and city council to set goals to improve proficiency rates among black and latino 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 at about 30% of oakland students read or do math at their grade level, which is well below the state average. >> 814 here during this women's history month and beyond, an east bay woman is following in her father's footsteps and chasing her dreams. michelle henry grew up going to the racetrack watching her father drag race. now she's the bay area's first black female drag racer, and she knows that every time she hits the racetrack, she's breaking barriers. >> when i was at famoso raceway

last year at the hot rod reunion, 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. >> how satisfying is that? henry's parents, michael and anitra, grew up in san francisco, where high school sweethearts drag racing has always been part of their story, denitra says she was hesitant to let michelle 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. >> michelle has a nine year old daughter now, who at this point has no interest in the track,

has a passion for horses and barrel racing. her next race, by the way, may 27th up at sonoma raceway. we have much more women's history month coverage on the ktvu fox local app. learn about some incredible women here in the bay. it's a free app for your smart tv. >> all right, 816 is your time right now. it is wet on the roads in many parts of the bay area, and not as much traffic as we normally would see. right, sal? >> that's right. andre and garcia, it is good friday. the stock market is closed. other institutions are closed, and a lot of people aren't going. however, we have found just a little bit of congestion here on northbound 880. it is not i wouldn't say stop and go, but it's not completely wide open there at the bay bridge, we don't have a lot. some of the wet weather is moving through and it's cold out there in some spots. i mean, this morning it was cold here and usually i'm not cold, but you know, this is the kind of weekend where you want to go home, want to light my fire and hang out by the fireplace and it's amazing to me as we bring steve in that, we

haven't had. you said something earlier, steve, that, i perked up. we haven't had high pressure for, for a long time. an extended period of high pressure . >> that is correct. based on. i looked at this about a week ago. i think the longest dry stretch we've had going back to december was seven days. now. again, even if you only pick up a point oh one or a .02. and i was mentioning this to garcia yesterday, most locations are only around 100% or so, a little bit below, a little bit above that. but the number of days of rain has been unbelievable because we haven't gone past seven dry days, which is, as you know, unheard of for us during december, january, february and even into march. that trend has continued, and i do think april is going to stay active as well. the trend is your friend and believe me, the trend is if you don't like it, unfortunately it's here. that's a strong system, unseasonably deep system, heaviest rainfall. i think will be marin county, south marin county and down towards santa cruz mountains. just looks to be there. set up for this as much better than

other locations. the key kind of this though going forward though is its wind and rain. but the upper low, while impressive, might be just a bit too far offshore for us to say hit a home run with this system. but rain is moving south to north, some right there through marin county and get some bursts of moderate rain. same thing on the san mateo bridge on the hayward side. you can see that there kind of moving through santa cruz, santa cruz mountains as well. so we're on our way to this system giving us rain, wind, surface wind is out of the south or southeast. not too crazy yet, but it is picking up sfo, palo alto, san jose, all southeast, hayward, southeast and in the hills starting to crank up as well. all southeast. that's front direction. so wind advisory starts at 11 a.m, goes through 5 a.m. tomorrow. this could be a bigger wind deal than it would be a rain deal, but as far as the heaviest rain areas that have a southwest facing, you know, hills, santa cruz mountains, mount tamalpais probably will get the most amount of rain after everything is said. and done. anyway, you look at it, the system continues to deepen. that's pretty impressive for us at the end of

march. so wind and rain, rain, wind, whatever you want to call it with wind, i think for the sierra, then snow. but winter storm warning is out. that will take him. i think it's cold air doesn't really arrive until late tonight. tomorrow? that's probably their best bet for snow coming down. rain, winds, thunderstorms here. light to moderate rain. both wind and rain should pick up though later on the low starts to slide south tomorrow morning and there will be a bigger impact for, i think, central and southern california rain wise. then for us 50s. unseasonably cool for us. possibility of thunderstorms on saturday. sunday morning looks okay. we should get some clouds late, but then early next week. there it is. we do it for you. low 70s steve. >> thank you. 819 a celebrity sighting throughout northern california earlier this year. we now know when leonardo dicaprio's new movie is set to hit the big screen. >> detroit host city for the nfl draft this year. getting help from a couple of falcons. and we're not talking about the atlanta falcons, how these big birds are helping the city prepare for a f od of tourists

downtown area. >> and then we're walking around with these birds, and we're using them as a visual cue to keep away starlings and pigeons from the area. here the city is concerned that pesky birds such as pigeons will swoon around and bother visitors. >> officials brought in a group called scare force, who uses birds of prey to scare off other birds. you may recall that a couple of years ago, bart had a similar problem with pigeons, and in that case, the transit agency used a hawk to scare away the pigeons. bay area soccer fans have only one more day before the inaugural home match for bay fc women's professional soccer team team hosted a news conference with san jose mayor matt mehan ahead of tomorrow's sold out match gave him a bay fc letterman jacket. >> mayor mehan says the city takes a lot of pride in its professional teams. in bay fc is 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 match is at paypal park, also home of the san jose earthquakes and the saturday morning join us as fox local presents women's soccer a new bay era ktvu is taking a look at the inaugural season of bay fc, the new nwsl expansion team representing the region ahead of the club's first ever home opener. >> we are hearing from the team's co-founders and general manager, and we're also catching up with one of the players who was born and raised right here in the bay area. >> i grew up going to earthquakes games all the time with my family, and so i'm very familiar with that stadium. but i think being on the field and actually playing on it and seeing all those fans cheering for us, i think it's just going to be one of the best moments of my career, right? >> all right, so make sure to tune in saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. for a bay fc special. it is happening right here on ktvu. >> hundreds of cameras are set to be installed in oakland on an east bay freeways, while

governor gavin newsom says they're an added tool to help fight crime for workers remain missing. >> this morning, following the baltimore bridge collapse. what officials say needs to happen at the site of the d aster b or

four, plus what the lawyers for sam bankman freed are planning to do next after he was sentenced to more than two

decades in prison. >> from ktvu, fox two news this is mornings on two. >> we're so glad you're with us today. i'm gasia mikaelian. i'm andre senior. >> today is friday, march 29th. and a wet one at that. so let's check in with steve paulson right now to get an update on where the rain is coming down in our area. >> i think we're looking at tahoe here. i think nobody told me anything, but i think is this tahoe? i think this is a tahoe picture. if i'm not mistaken. yeah it is. thank you. ken winter storm warning starts for them today. wind will be a big factor up there as well. and then snow will start to drop, especially late tonight into saturday morning. we have 40s and 50s on the temps. our system has arrived, some of the rainfall amounts might be trimmed back a little bit. it's still going to rain. they'll still get wind because this is a really strong system for the end. even lightning strikes. there you go. some more of them showing up. so thunderstorms are possible. the only fly in the ointment might be the low might stay just far enough offshore where we don't take the full

impacts of it before it starts to move south. but either way you look at it, this is a pretty good system here for us. for the end of march, wind and rain pick up possible thunderstorms and highs. unseasonably cool for us. 50s on the temps 830 on a friday morning. and a lot of people are not out there and sal's done a spectacular job there. i hope it's quiet at this time. >> yeah, it is quiet. and i think the weather that you mentioned, steve, may make it slow when it does hit, whenever it rains, it's correlated with more crashes out there. right now we don't have any rain in lafayette. it looks all right. but of course, it's not going to be a great evening to be driving or even later in the day. today the bay bridge is light. today is good friday, and a lot of people do have the day off. but the driving might be tough with the weather coming in. 831 let's go back to the desk. >> a vast network of new surveillance cameras is coming to oakland and the east bay governor newsom announcing that the city and chp signed a contract with a company that will mount and manage nearly 500 cameras in the region. ktvu

leigh rasmus joins us live to explain what we know so far about this plan. >> ali andre, the governor, made this announcement on social media this morning in a prerecorded video near hegenberger road. so we didn't have a chance to ask him any specific questions about the plan. but what we know is, based on a statement from his office, he said that the california highway patrol and the oakland police have signed a contract with the company, called flock safety. that company, the same one behind the license plate reader cameras that already exist in many other bay area communities like piedmont and san leandro and now berkeley. the cameras that are being installed in oakland, though, will do more than just track license plates, according to the governor's office, this network of 480 surveillance cameras will be able to identify the make and model of the vehicles that drive by, along with other features specific to those vehicles, like roof racks and bumper stickers. the cameras can also track the vehicles in real time. the video will be stored for 28 days, which will aid and support the efforts of law enforcement to

focus on stolen vehicles. >> this is proven technology where privacy is foundational. >> according to the governor's office, 290 of those cameras will be installed on oakland city streets, 190 along highways in oakland and the east bay. so beyond just the city limits of oakland in a statement released by the governor's office, oakland's mayor shengtao thanked him for the resources, saying, quote, this new camera network will help us stop crime and hold more suspects accountable. end quote. one of the big questions, though, is whether oakland and the chp has enough resources and staff to follow up on the additional leads. these cameras and surveillance videos could generate. we're working to learn more details on this developing story, and we'll have another update in the next hour of mornings on two. >> gasia allie rasmus. thank you. across the bay. leading candidates challenging san francisco mayor london breed in the november election are releasing their plans to deal with the city's drug overdose crisis for many, the mayoral race comes down to increasing public safety and reducing homelessness and drug activity.

ktvu spoke with mayor breed and her challengers about their proposals, including 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. advocates for people who are homeless say the proposals focus on law enforcement making arrests without addressing the underlying issues of mental health and drug and alcohol dependency. >> at 835 this morning, $26 million was raised by the biden campaign last night at a celebrity packed fundraiser in new york city. >> at long last, sir, have, you know, chip shot late night tv host stephen colbert leading a discussion with president biden and former presidents barack obama and bill clinton. >> there were also many celebrities at the event. former president donald trump was also in new york, where 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. >> trump will be back on the campaign trail next week, visiting michigan and wisconsin. >> cryptocurrency mogul sam bankman-fried plans to appeal his conviction and sentencing new york judge sentenced him to 25 years in federal prison for

fraud and conspiracy. prosecutors accused the co-founder of ftx of defrauding investors and customers of more than $11 billion, before the crypto exchange collapsed. >> 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. >> the judge strongly admonished bankman-fried, but the sentence was less than a quarter of the maximum for the convictions. the 25 year sentence could be reduced with good behavior when dealing with a quarter century. >> a 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. >> bankman-fried's parents attended the sentencing. both taught at stanford. his mother asked the judge for leniency. bankman-fried could be sent to a medium security prison here in

california at 837, the biggest crane on the eastern seaboard has arrived by barge in baltimore to help remove the wreckage from that deadly bridge collapse. >> that crane was a critical will be critical to clearing out the debris from the channel. these are live pictures from the scene you're looking at this morning. the search for four missing workers cannot resume until the debris is clear. 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 metal, and concrete remains of the collapsed bridge, so that the port can reopen without a massive impact to the local and national economy. >> the port handles more cars and more farm equipment than any other port in america. >> engineers say building a new bridge could take years and hundreds of millions of dollars to time. >> now is 830 when it comes to

our bay area weather, i know a lot of us can just, you know, pop open a weather app and look at the numbers. but steve calls it the way you tell the story of the rain and wind that's moving in in the coming hours. really frankly, helps us plan our weekend. >> well it's arrived. garcia. thank you. but that's true. this is this system for us this time of year is not one we see too often. and already showing up here have been some numerous lightning strikes. so that is a definite possibility as we go throughout the day into tomorrow would be some thunderstorms forms. initially what we're getting is this is the warm front sector, but the light rain has already started. some of the forecast projects have kind of trimmed back amounts on rain. still think marin county, mount tamalpais, the santa cruz mountains will get the bulk of this heaviest rain by tonight into saturday. you can see i mean, there's some pretty decent amounts being shown, but other locations look at livermore, fremont, concord, not so much. now i you know, it just depends on the path of the low. but we'll still see some activity into sunday. but some areas will get good rain. others probably like we didn't get much. and that's just kind of the pattern this is showing us. but the wind

will be a factor for all here. rain is moving north now along marin county up towards petaluma as well. pretty close. san pablo bay and moving up towards sonoma county. the line offshore, though, has been moving along in the peninsula and then there's more to come here. not only that, but you can get some brief downpours out of this system. but really it's the front. it's the wind that's starting to pick up here. nothing too crazy yet. wind advisory doesn't start until 11 mountain view though up to 16mph. stronger up in the hills though. mount diablo now due south 31. i mean, i know it's not roaring, but it's expected to really ramp up as we get towards this evening when the deepest part of this system will be at its strongest here. so wind advisory starts at 11 a.m. and then goes through 5 a.m. saturday. again, this looks maybe could be more of a wind event than it will be a rain event, but i would think mount tamalpais and santa cruz mountains probably in line for the heaviest rain because they're set up. you get what's the southwest wind? a strong low level jet stream. by that i mean around 5000ft. you can be up at 50, 60mph. that takes any available moisture lifts it,

cools it, condenses it. and that's why those areas would be in line for the most rain. sometimes, though, you can get what's called a shadowing effect. shadowing effects. when you get a southeast wind doing this. i've seen this before. it kind of takes the moisture out before it reaches areas, say like concord or livermore. so if you if you if you're an also ran on the rainfall, it's because a you're probably a little too far east and also because you had some of that shadowing effect. winter storm warning out for the mountains. first it will be wind, then snow later tonight into tomorrow. so rain, wind, cloudy, thunderstorms. other than that, it's a beautiful friday. cloudy, cool morning light to moderate rain. occasionally that rain and wind will be cranked up here by this afternoon, especially this evening. really cold salads mentioned this. our temps are well below average here with 50s. we'll get some breaks on saturday. more rain, possible thunderstorms. i think sunday mornings. all right. sunday evening clouded up but early next week look at that. just like we draw it up in meteorology. 101 sunny and warmer. >> artificial intelligence is taking to the skies. coming up

on the nine. the new technology that may greet you the next time you take a flight. >> and how america's wealthiest top 1% managed to get even richer last year despite a year of battling inflation

they announced attendance was more than 13,000, but the coliseum really looked much emptier than that. these offense lacked a punch, too. they mustered only four hits and 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. tonight's starting pitcher, ross stripling, was zero and five last season. >> well, the san francisco giants were in san diego to open their new season. even though the game was in southern california, many bay area giants fans gathered at bars and restaurants here in northern california, including, of course , momo's right across the street from oracle park. fans say they hope the season will be a good

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 butts. >> so but i mean i and anything can happen in baseball you know anything can happen. >> the giants lost their opener though to the padres six four. game two is tonight in san diego. you can catch saturday's game right here on ktvu first pitch. >> 415 845. the social security administration is working to protect some americans from losing financial benefits when they're also getting other assistance. as of september 30th, recipients of social security funds through supplemental security income will no longer have cut backs on their checks when they receive food, shelter or other benefits. those benefits currently count against and reduce monthly cash support. ssi recipients include elderly and people with disabilities who have limited resources. 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. a middle-eastern and north african category will be added to the choices, while people will also have the option to pick more than one race. >> we now know the release date for a movie currently being filmed in california starring leonardo dicaprio. several sources report the release date for the still untitled film will be august 8th of next year, according to variety, the film's budget was approaching $100 million back in january. it's directed by paul thomas anderson, who's known for keeping his filmmaking under wraps, so not much is known about the plot so far. production has taken place in eureka, sacramento and stockton. >> 847 now the us stock markets are closed today in observance of good friday, but they will be

open on monday with some good news. there's a lot of business dealings still happening. >> pam cook tracking this and more in dollars and cents. yes. >> good morning again. the markets open back up on monday and they're going to have some good news to think about. investors looking at fresh economic news that came in this morning. the report shows the key inflation rate, the one the fed watches, rose 2.8% in february. that matches expectations. consumer spending and personal income are up as well. and the s&p 500 now at a new record high and just posted the best quarter since before the pandemic. well that is contributing to wealth. the wealth of the top 1% in the country hit a record $44.6 trillion at the end of the fourth quarter. that's due to an end of the year stock rally. economists say a rising stock market primarily benefits the wealthy, as the top 10% of americans own 87% of individually held stocks. it is an important reminder to take advantage of those retirement plans at work and invest. what you can. state regulators are proposing a change to how power

companies in california calculate rates currently, the more power a household uses, the higher the utility bill. the new proposal would instead have a portion of the bill be a fixed charge. for most people, that would be about $24.15 per month. low income households would pay less. regulators say the idea is to provide some relief to people who use a lot of electricity in the summer, due to high temperatures, commercial crab season will end early. california's department of fish and wildlife will shut down dungeness crab fishing beginning at 6:00 on the night of april 8th. this closure stretches all the way from the mendocino, 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 netting and crab traps. recreational crab traps will also be prohibited between sonoma, mendocino county line and santa barbara county. i'm pam cook. that's a look at your dollars and cents pam. >> thank you. ktvu special

you're driving through that. you're going to see some rain here. if you're driving on the san mateo bridge, getting out to the high rise. no problems as you break on through to the peninsula. if you are driving on 80 westbound, it looks okay. the richmond bridge has a little bit of slow traffic on the way to marin. 850 let's talk about the weather. here's steve. all right. >> thank you, kind sir. yes, sir. all right. our system is on the way here. it's already, as i mentioned, producing some rain. a couple of lightning strikes. here. take a look here. there are some earlier off the mendocino coast, and now there's some associated back towards the front itself. what we're seeing now is warm overrunning. i still think areas around marin county south will take the brunt of this. as far as rainfall goes, they're set up as much better than others. some inland areas may be, you know, where's our rain? where's our rain? it'll eventually get here. but take a look. santa cruz, ben loman, san rafael south looks to be better than areas to the north, so i'll buy into that for now. i mean, this will carry us into tonight and into saturday. light rain

lifting north some areas only sprinkles. others have had a pretty good little rain already, especially as you go areas south and these lines coming in can produce some brief, moderate and heavy rain. but again, we're just getting started on this system. the only thing i would add is that the wind is really going to crank up here this afternoon. this evening, as the surface low and the upper low get closer to us, they may stay just far enough offshore where we don't take the bulk of this, but it'll be close enough here. strong winds here. so wind advisory starts at 11. if you have a barometer at home some of you do. don't laugh. some of you do it should drop off the table if it isn't already. there's projections maybe around 2930 or 2929 if all comes together here in inches. so i think mount tamalpais, santa cruz mountains, you look like the most favorable areas to get the heaviest rain between now and when we meet again. and our system, that's impressive for the no doubt about it, for the end of march, we don't usually see systems of this nature here. rain and wind. for your friday winter storm warning in the mountains. so snow will be on the go again, especially tonight, overnight into saturday. >> steve. major league baseball
