in half moon bay, a survivor and families of victims are suing the owner of california taro garden mushroom farm. they claim the farm failed to properly respond to previous reports of violence and take steps to prevent others. four workers were killed at the mushroom farm, three others died at a second farm. investigators say the shooter acted after a dispute with his supervisor. the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for economic loss related to the deaths and injuries of those victims. new developments now in the deadly baltimore bridge collapse, divers recovered the body of another missing worker. that means three bodies have now been recovered. three other workers remain missing and are presumed dead. president joe biden toured the site of the bridge collapse, and he met with the families of those construction workers killed. biden promised his support to the city of baltimore and financial help to rebuild folks. finally we're going to move heaven and earth to rebuild
9:15 am
this bridge as rapidly as humanly possible, and we're going to do so with union labor and american steel. some congressional republicans are pushing back on biden's promise of federal funding. meanwhile, the army corps of engineers shared a plan to make a passage for smaller cargo ships over the next month. they aim to reopen the entire port by the end of may. we're also learning about another major announcement that's expected from the white house on student loans on monday. president biden is expected to share his latest attempt to forgive student loan debt. the supreme court squashed his original plan to cancel debt for millions of borrowers last year. since then, the biden administration has slowly rolled out forgiveness to narrow groups of people like those who owe more in interest than their original loan. it's that time again. yeah, the deadline to do your taxes is closing in april 15th. as that last day to file,
9:16 am
and it's just a little over a week away. if you owe and you don't file, the irs will give you a 5% penalty for each month you're late. but if you file an extension by april 15th, you will have until october 15th. you will still be able to send your return to the irs electronically or by mail. now take a look at this. the bay area's highest peaks are still coated in white after this week's unusual spring snow. sky seven caught the dusting atop mount hamilton, making for a winter like picture here. in april, we got the april snow survey earlier this week too, and showing above average snowpack statewide for the second straight season. but today we get a break to see that sun. it's still chilly out there though. lisa is tracking the latest. good morning. >> good morning. yes, we have a below average weekend in terms of temperatures. but then things really turning around. i don't think it's the end of the rain though. still a weak system. wants to visit us tomorrow and then again maybe the middle of
9:17 am
the month, but as we look outside, you can see a little hazy there from mount tam. it is 49, in san francisco with 50 oakland and san jose. good morning. hayward, 51 for you. you picked up almost an inch of rain yesterday with those heavy downpours over the diablo range late in the afternoon. as we look out towards our roof camera, it is 41. in petaluma. you are down to near freezing 44 santa rosa, napa and 46 in livermore. the golden gate bridge there sunny and cool today. some increasing high clouds late in the day. sprinkles are possible tomorrow as the tail end of the system wants to visit us overnight, and then next week a big warm up as much as ten degrees above average for the latter to the middle part of next week. there's a look at the clear sky, then some high clouds throughout the afternoon. here is sunday early morning, where we see a few blips on the radar and as we go into the afternoon, this is 130. you can see the north bay into san francisco and even through the later part of the afternoon, possibly an isolated shower, but amounts will be anywhere from nothing to maybe
9:18 am
one one hundredths. so we can't rule that out. we're still looking at great viewing for monday, the eclipse, although we will only see about 35% of that. while dallas is pretty heavy on the cloud cover kentucky into the northeast, we'll have better viewing. so for tuesday, well into the 70s, inland 60s downtown wednesday, san francisco into the 70s, and we're looking at 80s for thursday. it's going to be a nice several days. but as for today, still in the 50s at the coast, we were only 54 yesterday in the city, 57 today, partly cloudy, 61 in concord today in the accuweather seven day forecast. so a little milder. a little cloudier for your sunday. maybe a sprinkle monday. look at that. almost a 10 degrees jump in temperatures another 5 to 7 degrees tuesday and wednesday. and we've got that summer like warmth arriving and staying with us through the end of the week. we'll be back after the break. >> lisa. thank you. the california legislature is the first in the country to seriously consider reparations for the legacy of slavery, and
9:19 am
decades of policies that excluded and harmed black californians. one of the bills currently being considered is an apology to the black community. >> let's start with that apology . do you think that there is the political will here in the capitol to even get an apology passed? >> i think there is a will. i think we have a governor who understands the importance of apology now. and i hope our colleagues in the legislature are both in the assembly and the senate will see the importance of that as well. >> if reparations in california stops there with the apology, what will it say to the people here in california? >> i'd say we're not serious. >> so why should california be on the hook for reparations? find out and explore the journey of the first and only state level reparations task force in the abc seven originals documentary, california's case for reparations. it's streaming now. wherever you watch abc seven, and you can see it tonight at 8:00 on abc seven and our
