thank you for joining us this morning. and happy valentine's day. it's wednesday, february 14th. >> i feel the love. let's get

started. >> i was really sad. sad for the -- you know, being a father and a grandfather. you know, for the children. >> hearts rally against hurt after a tragedy. the community working to find answers as police investigate pain on the peninsula. we deserve clean air, clean water, clean soil. end of story. >> people coming together for a better east bay. refineries and a settlement begging the question about what's best in the long run? ♪ i left my heart in san francisco♪ a day for lovers and the love story that became the love letter to the city by the bay. we're talking tony. and a tribute that will be seen by millions. the first two times, i met a lot of cool girlfriends. nothing romantic has blossomed. but maybe the third time is the charm.

>> and a reminder of the power of face-to-face when seeking love. have a valentine today? give some love and if you don't, come find us, bay area, you belong to us. and i love what she said. good morning everybody, i'm reed cowan. i love she said i met some good girlfriends too. she'll need these girlfriends when she finds out some of the guys are not the best. >> ooh reed, i'm nicole zaloumis on this valentine's day with your warning. so it's six minutes, is that what i gathered from that open there? >> the timer says. >> you get to figure out. well, we have story coming up where the man knew instantly and has been decades that they've been married. >> the perfect story for a day like today on valentine's day. i think six minutes is a good enough time to kind of at least know okay. maybe. or maybe not. >> six minutes? >> i think so. it's a good start. it's a good start. >> start training with the kids if there are the teens or 'tweens. get the stopwatch going and let them know. hey, good morning, everybody. there is a beautiful look at grace cathedral. live look outside.

this is the calm before the storm because it's a first alert weather day. it is a first alert weather day, reed. guys, as we wake up this morning, it's starting off dry for valentine's day. but it's going to look lot different as we head into the afternoon hours. taking a look outside our window right now. we are waking up to 40s and 50s throughout the bay and off to a cool start right now down into the santa clara valley. but at least it's dry and enjoy it while you have it. the evening commute is going to look a lot different compared to the morning commute. to school, to work, wherever you are heading off to this morning. we're sitting in the low 50s right now from san francisco across the bay bridge into oakland. and it's clear at the bay bridge right now. that will look a lot different also as we head into the afternoon. where's the rain happening and how much to expect? but then a dry break as we head into the forecast tomorrow. heading into friday. with back-to-back atmospheric river events heading into this weekend. so now that we got those covered our headlines, let's dive into what's ham right now. showers to the north of us and those are going to sweep in the bay area pretty soon. i mean within the next couple of hours start

seeing light scattered showers up in the north bay. our friends down into the santa clara valley are going to last to get hit with the rain but definitely feel the impacts of it in the afternoon hours. this is around lunchtime and we're seeing close to around 0.1 in areas like bodega bay and santa rosa and for the friends near napa. the numbers start to add up too. now in the 5:00 hour today and heavier storms moving anywhere from our coastline all the way off into the east bay. but these on and off showers will start to trickling off into the overnight hours tonight and like i mentioned we're left with drier conditions tomorrow heading into the friday forecast. but i want to talk about this weekend a little bit more. coming up in the first alert forecast because there's the big impacts we could feel here in the bay. gianna? thank you, jess. the live look here at the bay bridge toll plaza this morning. and again, later on that commute is going to be a lot different with the wet weather really coming in. just checked in with chp. there was small brush fire. a couple of flashing lights there off to the side. you have crews on scene and really not causing an issue to

traffic or an issue to the bridge itself and it's out whatever it was. but again, just know that it's out there and we'll watch that. but that backup is building quite quickly for anyone making that ride over into san francisco. reed? all right, just into the newsroom, we're getting our first look at the results of the chp supported crime crackdown in oakland. and the east bay. governor gavin newsom's office says officers have already made 71 arrests and recovered 145 stolen cars and seized four guns linked to crime. newsom sent 120 officers to the east bay to take part in that chp operation. that temporary operation took place between february 5th and february 9th and look at the volume they accomplished just in those short amount of days. antioch mayor thorpe wants to rebuild trust between people and police. he's a part of antioch's first ever police oversight commission. so here's how this works. later this morning, the mayor will swear in seven commissioners that are tasked to oversee the police department's policies,

practices and customs as we look live attainted i don't care. the department you might remember took a major hit last year when federal investigators turned up racist texts with officers and they found it was no small thing. it was systemic. nearly four dozen officers investigated for racist policing and routine use of excessive force and fabrication of evidence. in fact, half of the city's officers put on leave or reduced duties. as a result of three civil rights lawsuits that hit the city of antioch and its police department. so we've reached out to the police officers' association for reaction but so far, we have not had a response from them yet. good morning near the very beautiful pacifica pier. later this morning, a portion of the pier is set to reopen. you might remember it closed in late december after huge tides hit those waves into -- and made the pier fall apart into shreds. so with rain in the forecast today, and more on the way, pacifica leaders are keeping a close eye on how the pier holds up. looking live at san

francisco. as business leaders with the chamber of commerce get set to hold the annual city beat breakfast later this morning. so business and civic leaders are going to sit around a table and discuss the newest poll results and really takes the temperature about what you the voter care about and then sets the conversation and narrative about what those who want your vote will have to face. and address in upcoming elections. nicole? san francisco mayor london breed is showcasing the bay area bouncing back. she just gave a first year progress report on the road map to revitalize downtown. breed highlighted $20 million to help small businesses. the launch of the vacant to vibrant pop-up program to draw people downtown. and jump-starting efforts to transform empty office space into housing. she also said the city had the lowest crime rate last year in a decade. with the compensation of 2020 during the shutdown. and one of the things on the mayor's to-do list, reciting more police. her budget funds

220 new officers to get on the force and get it back to full staffing. lezla gooden got see one of the new academy classes in action and learned negative perception about crime in the city was a major motivator for many of these recruits. >> class, attention. good morning, captain. >> good morning. >> reporter: meet the san francisco police academy class 282. this is the highest turnout the academy has seen since the pandemic began. >> you are going to stop and see what they're doing. before you go up there. right? >> reporter: san francisco currently needs 500 police officers to meet the city's demand. and these cadets are helping the city reach that goal. over the next 35 weeks, they will train inside and outside the classroom. >> into that car, is that your vehicle? [ inaudible ] no? >> reporter: helping train them is captain sean perdomo, a police captain at the academy. >> i'm sorry, sir. wider step, please sir. 55. please respond. i'm going to need your assistance. >> reporter: and they're on

track to graduate more recruits this year than previous years in the pandemic. >> so we do have a recruit that's currently in the academy that had noticed the decline in the quality of life issues here in the city and recently his relative was a crime victim and he stated that was one of the number one reasons why he applied to become a police officer. >> reporter: he attributes the increase in interest to several factors. >> to do think that the wage increase has increased applicants to the police department. i also think the public perception has influenced how many people do apply. and i also think that the conditions in the city and people wanting to make a difference has inspired people to become applicants. >> reporter: now the police academy's goal is to have a total of 100 recruits by the end of 2024 and if the momentum continues, they can meet it. >> the starting salary for sfpd officers is $112,000. it's one

of the highest in the bay area and the country. time right now 6:9 in the morning. people doing battle with bay area refineries putting a notch in the win column. who will be getting a big check and the changes many people are promised. ♪ san francisco, above the blue ♪ and on this valentine's day, take a ride with tony. his car, his cable, and the tribute that will last for generations. sing it, tony.

welcome back everybody. it is 6:12 in the morning and could an agreement with bay area people and two east bay refinery finally create lasting change? get this. in a major shift, two east bay companies have given up fighting local air quality managers and they've agreed to cut pollution from their plants. so along with the cuts to emissions, chevron and martinez refining company will pay $34 million in fines for hundreds of air quality violations. $20 million up front. the money will go into a richmond area

community air quality fund. by the way the martinez refinery also agreeing to rigorous monitoring. it's been under investigation for nearly two years after allegations it spewed up dust that a lot of neighbors say coated places where they live. heidi taylor counts this development as a win for her community. >> we deserve clean air, clean water, clean soil. end of story. this is the best place i have ever lived. and i'm not going to just pack up and leave. i am going to hold that refinery accountable. >> well, the refineries have until the middle of 2026 to make those changes. a winter storm dumped fresh snow across the northeast. in new york city, more than 3 inches fell in central park. people enjoyed walking their dogs in the blanket of snow. and having snowball fights and building a snowman. further north, massachusetts got a blast of wind and snow on the coast. and jessica has more on that. yeah, you know it's interesting, nicole, these two

things just sound wrong together. but here it is. snow on the beach. and this is in southern massachusetts which is getting the brunt of that nor'easter blasting that whole regional. and you can see intense wind and powerful waves with that slushy sand and they have been dealing with the bulk of the storm and as we take a look at what's going on there compared to here in the bay area, man, i mean, we're having our own taste of storm right around the corner but nothing hike what they have. when it comes to the heavy storms moving in from the continental u.s. we're 25 degrees warmer than them in the upper 50s and lower 60s and here in the bay it's a first alert weather day as we're gearing up for a storm of our own. this is moving in from offshore from the gulf of alaska. with that cooler weather and we're also going to see some gusty conditions into the afternoon. and some rain associated with that. which will impact that evening commute and it will impact those outdoor date night plans. so i'm sorry to say it but it's going to be a rainy

one for us on this first alert weather day forecast. here's around lunchtime. scattered showers widespread throughout the bay area. just a blanket of that light drizzle with heavier pockets of rain at times. luckily, our models are starting to show lighter conditions for us today and i mean yesterday around the time we were still expecting to see around a half inch to around an inch of rain and now models are trending a lot drier and a lot less impactful. so as we wrap up the day today, heading into the evening hours tonight, we'll see the on and off showers start to slowly taper off in the overnight hours giving us 0.1 of rain in areas like fremont and livermore. more impressive numbers in napa and fremont. like i said push the wine tasting to indoor instead. we will have a dry break tomorrow heading into friday but then back-to-back atmospheric river events heading into the weekend forecast and i want to talk a lit bit more about that and show you what it looks like on the long-range models. the storms are still well out in the pacific. but that's going to change as we head into the rest of the week. into the weekend we go, that trough develops and that allows for the huge storm system to really just sit and gain its energy offshore before it moves its

way into the california coastline impacting anywhere from l. a. all the way up into the bay area. and back here in the bay we can see anywhere up to around 8 inches down in ben lomond and 5 inches in the north bay but that's in total from next seven days. also includes today's storm too. daytime highs today in the upper 50s and lower 60s throughout the bay area. it's pretty mild for us temperature-wise. really what i'm concerned about is more of the winds and the rain that we can see that causes issues out there on the roads potentially we can see a downed tree or two if they're already weak and well saturated at the surface level. due to the past storms that we've seen. but i don't think that's going to necessarily be the case. now we're going to hold on tight to the 60s through the rest of the week and heading into next week with heavier storms and thunderstorm activity possible heading into early next week. gianna? >> thank you, jess. but of course when it comes to driving in it, not fun at all and this afternoon commute certainly going to be a bit busy at least that's what we forecast with the wet weather really settling in for the

evening commute. so in the meantime, get where you are going if you can quickly. and safely. taking the bay bridge this morning, it's already backed up and busy for anyone heading over into san francisco. but your morning commute is going to be a lot more quiet than the evening one so definitely plan for that. if you are headed out and about, taking some of the major freeways right now, we're only tracking brake lights through the altamont pass and everything else actually looks really good. pretty nice travel times for the most part on 80. highway 4 and even 101 out of san jose. all the way through the peninsula. it's that ride though through the altamont pass that is slow this morning. we've got brake lights coming out of tracy and then the crash here as you work your way into the altamont pass. little closer to that livermore valley area. so definitely plan for some brake lights there but it's clear the rest of the way once you are past that point to the dublin interchange. ♪ i left my heart in san francisco ♪ >> take in that beautiful

energy this morning. remembering tony bennett. by dedicating a cable car to the legendary crooner in san francisco. by the way, you can catch a ride on tony's cable car on the famed california street line. that car built in 1907 will carry passengers up california street and every time it will pass tony bennett way. it is 6:18. on this wednesday morning. a defeat they will never forget. we head inside the 49ers' locker room hearing from the team about

falling out of love with dating apps and looking for more of a face-to-face connection. you know what it's actually making a comeback? speed dating. according to event brite atent dance at in-person singles events grew more than 40% last year. the number of events was up more than 60% compared to before the pandemic. and dating experts say gen z is even more skeptical about meeting on apps. >> using an ai generated photo online to get the swipes or is this photo slightly blurry and clearly a person and clearly real. no filters. gen z is showing us that they've grown up in digital world. they're seeking more analog dating interactions. >> well, event brite says the cities with the highest percentage of dating and singles events included new york, los angeles, and houston. but even if you don't find the right one, it's also just a good way to meet friends as well. now here i did a deep dive. [ laughter ] i was very curious about how this really works and i'm going just give

you some -- help you out reed. all the singles out there. little tips if you do speed dating. couple of things you want to do. like things -- put the phone down. you are like can you find out someone in six minutes? you are not doing this. >> next. >> or anything else. >> right. thank you we're like gone. come prepared with questions. like don't -- think about what you want. don't ask -- do you want to get married and have kids? what's your future plans. just think about things that you really want to know about. get creative. it will make you sound more interesting. >> maybe don't talk about yourself so much. >> ask the questions. show you are interested. >> your questions reveal who you are. did you know what? listen to the people who are asking you questions. >> ask me a question. >> how do you -- when did you first know you were just amazing? [ laughter ] >> great one. >> this is so funny. you have a sense of humor. >> oh. see? i mean, sometimes. >> oh. and you are so sweet and kind. >> but i mean -- i mean it. >> this is good. >> look, gianna dressed like

course the rain is the big concern for us today. we're trying to do or get accomplished we're dealing with the off and on showers through the evening hours tonight. so all the outdoor activities, you might want to hold off until tomorrow. luckily we can do them tomorrow because we just have partly cloudy skies for the forecast and thursday into friday. but then this weekend and early next week, long-range models, we're talking about back-to-back atmospheric river events that will bring in a series of showers all from offshore with very strong winds at times and this is going to feel a lot like the last system that we had when we had back-to-back -- what was that? only two weeks ago. back-to-back atmospheric river events. over a weekend. this trough is developing out in the pacific and bring a series of really charged storm systems moving in from offshore and that stays consistent into early next week too. so the climate prediction center as well as the weather prediction center showing anywhere up to around 8 inches down into the santa clara valley. actually not the santa clara valley, past that into ben lomond. the santa clara valley expected to see anywhere to around 3 inches. and about 6 inches are

expected up in the north bay. that's worth noting though because this is going to be a very strong storm system not like the one that we have today. so this is just kind of a little tease ahead what's to come heading into our weekend forecast. now daytime highs today, for our valentine's day, we're talking about upper 50s and lower 60s and honestly we don't have too much to complain about considering the fact that the northeast which we'll talk about coming up in just a bit got hit with really heavy storm cells recently. really heavy snow and really cold temperatures from the arctic but back here in the bay we're talking about 60s throughout the rest of this week. heading into this weekend. and with that rain right around the corner we could see a chance of thunderstorm activity but that's early next week. we'll keep you updated on the rainfall totals. for now g how are the roads? >> getting busy jess, and it's you know, you are halfway through the workweek so definitely wednesdays tend to be a little busier for the commute. as you kind of get over that hup. but look at the live look here at the bay bridge toll plaza. we had a hotspot not too far as you connected off 80 this morning

but things are moving well now. just a little bit slow as you come into the macarthur maze coming off the eastshore freeway, that's our slowest approach. so keep that in mind but it kind of sets the tone of where our east bay freeways are sitting which is busy on highway 4 and busy on westbound 08 and of course that altamont pass commute is a slow crawl for anyone coming out of tracy working your way over into that livermore valley. hey, we've got a crash southbound 680 at san ramon valley boulevard. or road there. and it's definitely backing things up in and around that area. it's got one to two lanes blocked there. so certainly slow and go. and getting crowded over at the san mateo bridge. ♪ ♪ well, two major bay area rock stars are joining forces for a nationwide tour. santana and counting crows have announced the oneness tour kicking off in southern california on june 14th. the tour will include a stop right here in the bay area on august
