going to the track watching her father drag race. >> yes. and now she is the one getting behind the wheel. ktvu claudine wong introduces us to the bay area's first black female drag racer. >> there is something about that sound that deep, all encompassing roar of this 1968 pontiac firebird that, for michelle henry, does something nothing else can do. >> it's one of those ones where sometimes i get nervous and i feel like i want to puke and i want to cry, but as soon as that car starts up, everything goes away and i feel at peace. >> henry is a drag racer, and for her, there is nothing like those few seconds on the track. at speeds so high you need a parachute to slow you down, she says. as the first african american woman drag racer from

the bay area, she knows that every time she hits the track, she's breaking barriers. >> when i was at famoso raceway last year at the hot rod reunion, i did my run and, popped my parachutes and got out the car. there was 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. >> and i think every time you do that, you break a stereotype of what people believe. >> yes, breaking that stereotype is, is amazing for me. because there's not a lot of black women that's in the industry, and we always have the stereotype of we can't do or we shouldn't do, and i'm just here to break the barriers because i want to change the narrative not only for myself, but the generation before me and the generation to come. >> this is in her blood, and it

is something that's been passed down to her from her parents. >> my dad is one amazing driver, you know, on and off the track. and then my mom, oh, my god, she is the goat of our team. she holds it down. henry's parents grew up in san francisco and were high school sweethearts, drag racing has always been a part of their story. >> when i met him, he had a 74 nova and, he was racing on the back streets. candlestick park. >> this was illegal street racing back in the day. yeah, this is what not to do. >> but after they got married and started a family, denise says their future meant michael could stay behind the wheel, but he had to get off the streets. >> after a few incidents on the streets. my wife was like, you're not going to lose our house to street racing, so figure something else out, all right, so i started going to sonoma raceway wednesday night. drags a lot of us started going. so we really took the street

scene off the streets. >> that's the scene michelle grew up watching. but for her mother, it was one thing to watch her husband race. it was an entirely different thing to let her child race. i've always wanted to drive my mom, she told me no, and i understand why. >> you know, being a mother myself, that's a little scary. but, you know, she she came to a point where she just said, you know, you only have one life and just live it and do what you want to do and i said, okay. so i seized my moment. >> that moment came just last year after denitra battled 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. >> sounds like she needed her mom's blessing, though. >> yes. >> oh, i needed her mom's blessing. like i would have let her drive years ago, but i wasn't going to get in between that conversation. >> now, it seems that conversation is nothing short of a well-oiled machine. everyone working together to get her

across that finish line. she has her own style and her own message. so lexus and throw your keys up. and her parents say watching her chase this dream is like nothing else. >> every time he used to call us to get this nervous feeling all the time. and with her, i don't get it at all. it's strange, you know. i'm the one who i did. both of them, strapping them in, getting them all ready. but with her, i don't get that feeling at all. >> i get more excited watching her drive than i ever felt, being behind the wheel. you got to figure this thing makes 100 horsepower naturally aspirated. no power adders. when i turn on the nitrous bottles in the car, she'll make around 1800 horsepower. so to say she can't handle it now, this girl's got it. she's good. she's better than i was. >> and so she takes the mantle for this next generation, breaking barriers with the support of her mother, walking in the steps of her father and creating a path that is all her

own. who's the better driver? >> i won't say. i mean my dad. he says that he believes i'm the better driver so far. >> and do you agree, yeah. >> that works out well. claudine wong ktvu fox two news. >> that's just a really cool story. yeah you can tell they have such a good relationship. yes, exactly. and bonding over drag racing and african american and drag racing, something you're rarely ever see, rarely ever see. all right. rosemary oroczo is here now with a look at your forecast, something we'll need to watch tonight and tomorrow as well. >> yes a lot of defensive driving going on out there for today. gasia and andre as it is not only wet, it is windy. and we keep talking about that risk of thunderstorms because it will be with us at least for the first half of the weekend. maybe even throughout the whole weekend. here's a look from ktvu across the oakland estuary. tough to see san francisco from this vantage point. here's a look at the temperature change.

we haven't talked about the temps just yet. it's a cooler one out there, anywhere from nine degrees cooler in novato today. and 11 in petaluma to five at half moon bay, half moon bay right now 50 degrees. these are your lunchtime numbers. 48 in santa rosa, 54 walnut creek. as we spoke about before, this is like a winter storm with snow levels between 4000ft and 4500ft. the winds are cranking. we've got santa rosa reporting ten, fairfield reporting 15. so not too bad for you there. just breezy, but you get over towards oakland and the wind gusts are above 30. sfo doing the same at 30. and then the central and southern part of the bay area. you can see the gusts are widespread. san jose reporting 32, palo alto 36. in our hills. even more powerful than that for some between 35 and 40mph. so the wind advisory will continue through today and go into tomorrow morning, which means if you step outside, the umbrella may not work today. you're going

to have that rain hitting you from the side. and it is widespread at this point, with pockets of moderate rain reporting in areas like the north bay looks like over the coastline near bolinas and mount tam, the marin headlands transitioning into san francisco, widespread here from san francisco down along the peninsula, you can see the east bay has moderate rain falling along the east bay shore, lighter rain, inner east bay, a little bit of rain, snow mix. mount diablo a little bit of rain. snow mix over mount hamilton and we've got some moderate rain to heavy rain coming ashore there near santa cruz and the santa cruz mountains. the sierra will continue to pile up. the snow could have anywhere from 1 to 2ft, even three feet. by the end of the weekend. here is a look at the center of the storm. it will continue to shift towards southern california. southern california also going to get very wet this weekend. and here's the timeline for us. it's coming down right now by 4 or 5:00. that cold front pushes through and we are left with scattered showers for your evening hours. so it's going to

be scattered showers. breezy tonight. tomorrow morning start out with scattered showers on and off, but take a look at noontime. we're going to get some breaks tomorrow so i expect we'll see. you know the rainbows and the possibility of thunderstorms and the brief downpour as sunday looks to be the same. so if you are going to be celebrating easter, have outdoor festivities. we won't be completely dry, but it will be nothing like what we're experiencing right now. afternoon highs for today. on the cool side mid to upper 50s expected. and your extended forecast here. so the rain and wind with us today. thunderstorms a possibility with scattered showers tomorrow. sunday looks mainly dry, a little unsettled. spring returns low 70s in the forecast with dry weather monday and tuesday. back to you. >> thank you rosemary. it's the future in flying a flight attendant powered by. i will introduce you to the new addition to qa

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, anything can happen in baseball. >> you know anything can happen. >> the giants lost their. opener to the padres 6 to 4. game two is tonight in san diego. you can watch saturday's game right here on ktvu. first pitch at 415. many fans, of course, excited that baseball's back. but a's fans showed up for opening day. thousands of them flooded the coliseum parking lot and a block party boycott. it's because the plans for the team to move to las vegas hear 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 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 the coliseum, but not this year. >> i feel like the team's 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. many fans say they plan on joining. >> bay area soccer fans have only one more day before the inaugural home match for bay. for bay fc, women's professional soccer team hosted a news conference with san jose mayor matt mehan just ahead of tomorrow's sold out match gave him a. bay fc letterman jacket. mayor mahan says 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's 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 will be at
