north starting this morning and lasting into this afternoon. and then we actually start to clear up fast not a thing in the skies as we head into the overnight hours tonight. a similar trend in the forecast for us tomorrow. but i will say this, starting this afternoon, just around 5:00 p.m., many of us throughout the bay area especially up in the north bay will be under a wind advisory and it could be gusty in the north bay and wind speeds anywhere up to around 50 miles per hour at times gusting at that point we could see downed trees and possible power outages from the strong conditions too. as the winds are starting to whip up the pollen count starts to increase too. this starts today heading into in next couple of days in the high category too. lots to talk about in the next couple of days. yes we have sunshine in the forecast for us and yes it's going to be beautiful out there. it's going to be a breezy one too. take it slow and with the claritin ready to go if you have allergies like

me. g? dry which is good. because man what a difference a day makes right? look at this. live look here at 880 both directions, moving along well. no delays as you head near the coliseum traffic is pretty light and right now that's our headline. nice travel conditions for most of our bay area freeways with the exception of the altamont pass and we have reports of a new crash near grant line. so traffic is a little slow already for supercommuters heads-up watch right now. down to about 24 miles per hour connecting off of 205 getting on to 580 and then again there's a crash there and it could be blocking at least one lane near grant line. developing news on the feign mouse scott peterson murder case. he was convicted in 2004 for murdering his wife and unborn child. their bodies dumped in the san francisco bay. fast forward o 20 years and he has a new team and defense. so what is it? dna and a claim about a burglary at the peterson home about the same time his wife went missing. this is the first time many of us have seen peterson in years. and if you look closely, there

he is. in a blue prison jump suit via zoom. look at that. his hair is pulled back and wearing a ponytail. well, he originally sentenced to death. but four years ago, that death sentence was overturned and changed into a life in prison without parole sentence. max darrow reports now that a group called the innocence project is taking up his case and they're citing the evidence including dna may have been overlooked. >> do we have your consent to proceed via zoom this morning? >> absolutely. thank you your honor. >> reporter: scott peer peterson appearing before a judge via video conferencen tuesday from mule creek state prison with h t help of attorneys from the l. a. innocence project. that's paula mitchell representing peterson. back in 2004, peterson was sentenced to death after he was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife laci and unborn con connor. in 2020 the california supreme court overturned that sentence citing errors with the jury

selection process. in 2021, a judge resentenced peterton to life in prison without the possibility of parole. in 2022 his defense team pushed for a new trial based upon an allegation of juror misconduct but a judge didn't grant him a new trial. at the beginning of 2024 the l.. a innocence project filed three motions including a request for post conviction dna testing and a request for reasonable discovery. >> we were very, very specific and we spent a lot of time trying to suses out what frankly are very alarming deficiencies in the discovery that was provided to the defense at the time of trial. those are the items we're requesting. the nature of the request is not a fishing expedition. they're very precise and very specific. >> reporter: the dna testing is another part of the claim. they'd like to access evidence connected to a burglary near the home that was right around the time of her disappearance. the legal analyst paula can knee has followed the case

closely. >> if the testing show what is they think it's going to show, it's a whole new ball game to so speak. >> reporter: she says the fact that the l. a. innocence project even took on peterson's case is significant. >> that organization which only represents people who the project believes is innocence and can be exonerated by dna evidence has taken this up. >> reporter: the hearing date on the motion to seal can be earlier. >> reporter: superior court judge elizabeth hill set three hearings regarding the motions. one of the few times we heard peterson when he opted to appear virtually for the hearings. peterson's sister-in-law was present and didn't address the media after the proceedings wrapped up. his attorneys provided a statement that read in part -- we have not commented on our mel gibsons and we will continue to present our case in court where it should be adjudicated. >> we should note the project operates independently of something else you might have

heard of. called the national innocence project. they are not involved in this case. for background on the case over the years and more from this week's hearing, head to our website. kpix.com. we may be soon saying good-bye to tiktok. this morning house lawmakers are expected to pass a bill that could ban the app nationwide. it would force the social media company to cut ties with its chinese linked parent company bytedance. law makers believe the company's foreign ties could have a security risk to the u.s. the bill would face an uncertain future in the senate but president joe biden says if it gets to his desk he'll sign it. san jose is on the search for a new police chief. today the city will hold its second community meeting on the hiring of the new top cop. the police department wants to hear what kind of person that the public wants to fill the role. the current police chief anthony mat that is retiring at the end of month. today's meeting will take place at 6:00 tonight at the bass come community center.

well, good morning in wine country and to this. look at itful beautiful yellow carpets covering the vineyards of napa valley. the mustard flowers are blooming and brian hackney reports they're more than just a stunning backdrop. take a look. >> reporter: it's the annual gold rush in the napa valley. fields of gold as winter turns to spring. it's wild mustard. although recent research has shown that it was domesticated as long as 6,000 years ago in

central asia. and only recently has evolved into an indispensable ingredient at where else? >> the grill. >> reporter: chef cindy paulson owned the busy spot for 40 years and mustard plants providing the mustard seed is key. >> we've made many mustards and you can make them from yellow mustard seeds and brown mustard seeds and you can make it with wine and you can make it with beer. mustard is so flexible. but i'm just going to smear a thin layer on the piece of salmon. so then we're just going to take this and i'm going to smear only olive oil in here right on top and then i have just a few panko bread crumbs. that are drizzled with a bit of olive oil. >> reporter: mustard is in these signature condiment. >> time to eat. >> reporter: but it's not just about the condiment. and it's not just about the bloom. >> yeah, besides being beautiful they really serve as a great cover crop for us. they increase the biodiversity. they

help with erosion control and also our great flower for early pollinators. >> reporter: curtis manages things around here. >> we're standing here at the vineyard in oakville in the middle of napa valley. >> reporter: of course, napa is known for its wines. but the mustard grass is kind of a seasonal clock. >> once we start to see the mustard growing in the field, we know that the new vintage is upon us. it's about the time where the buds start to burst in the vineyard and it's the beginning of a new vintage. >> the most perfect time to come because -- i love the valley at this time of the year. >> reporter: napa has a list of the best places to see the blooms and this cautionary note. >> we don't encourage you to walk through the rows and we have some farming operations going on but it's a great photo-op for you outside the vineyard. >> reporter: and catch them while you can. the blooming season ends at the end of the month. but the mustard? hi there. just get a plain hot dog? the mustard will always be

here. >> canada is the world's top mustard exporter and supplies about 90% of the seeds used in northern american production. i need to get up there. so beautiful this weekend. i need to do that. >> i love mustard. all types. >> did you see it on the salmon. >> i could eat -- dijon, yellow mustard. like -- >> spicy mustard. >> what's the mustard has the grain in it? like the little -- >> grainy mustard. >> all of it. we have to move from that beauty shot to another beautiful shot as we take a live look outside on this wednesday morning. it's still dark outside which is why we get the jewel box of san francisco. but soon there will be light, jess. and there will be sunshine and we are so happy if you can't tell. >> oh, absolutely. it's going to be a beautiful day for us here in the bay area. sunshine lasting into this afternoon. but like i mentioned earlier, we are going to be dealing with some gustier conditions as the same system that's bringing in all this sunshine and the warming trend is also bringing us some gusty conditions. starting this evening and lasting until friday morning. a wind advisory in effect for us we're mostly going to see wind

speeds around 15 to 30 miles per hour. moving in from the north. but i will say this. we can see gusts at times anywhere up to around 50 miles per hour and that's what we're concerned about because downed trees and power outages are only and our fire index actually starts to increase heading into the afternoon hours as temperatures start to rise. those winds start to get gustier from the inland areas, that's dry condensed area and also keep a close eye on that lasting into friday. that's how long the wind advisory is in effect. gusty conditions in the next couple of days also going whip up all the pollen -- all the pollen in the air too. a big reason why we're keeping a close eye on the pollen count now is because we're in the high category lasting into saturday. same trend on sunday and thinking of heading out to go see the blue angels at travis air force base this weekend, we're expecting low 70s in the forecast there. thinking of heading to the parade in san francisco, we're expecting upper 60s for our daytime highs. so yeah, we do have that warming trend right around the corner and it's noticeable especially as we

head into this weekend's forecast. as high pressure moves its way in, it kind of acts like a heat dome and you might remember that from earlier last year around springtime. summertime. when we started talking about it a lot. but that heat dome is going to create a lot of different weather patterns for us here in the bay. we're going to see clear skies starting this afternoon. not a thing in the sky lasting into this next couple of days and what i mean by that is no rain, no clouds. and of course we're going to see that warming trend too. so today we're already sitting upper 60s just near san jose. watch what happens as we head into the rest of this week. the upper 60s get replaced by mid 70s. as early as friday. and then we see mid 70s lasting into early next week too. that's just our inland forecast and we're going to see a very similar trend for the bay too. i'll show that coming up in just a bit. but long story short, it is going to get gustier heading into this afternoon. so this morning, maybe it's not a bad idea to put all the outdoor objects that you don't want, you know, gusting over into your neighbor's yard, inside this afternoon. we'll have more on that in a bit. for now over to you, g. >> all right. jess, thank you. taking a look at the roadways

right now and if you are getting ready to get out the door and make that ride across the 880 so far you are in luck and in fact most of the bay area freeways have a great start this morning. live look here you can see both directions moving along very well as you work your way north and southbound heading to oakland and hayward. this is a live look near hagueen berger and very close to the coliseum there. so nice ride and look at this. all this green we're seeing as we take a look at our overview map. and thumbs up for most of the bay area freeways with the exception of that ride as you work your way into the altamont pass. so if you are coming out of tracy, looks like the backup is just about mountain house. as you work your way westbound on 200 getting on to 580 itself we have reports of a crash here near grant line. so that might slow you down just a little bit. once you are past all of that once you get past north flynn, things open up nicely the rest of the way towards the dublin interchange. and if you are connecting on to 680, that's a really nice ride this morning. all right, live look here at the bay bridge toll plaza. roadways are dry. so enjoy that and hopefully it will be an easy commute for you this morning. but if you are getting up and getting out the door

early, so far, so good. with the easy ride into san francisco. and look at the travel times. looks just like -- what we would expect through the altamont pass right now. and 8 # highway 4, 101. all clear. nicole? >> time now 5:18. how much would you pay for a buito? does $22 sound like too much? how this restaurant owner is explaining his prices. here's a live look outside before we head to break. beautiful lights strung there on the bridge. we wish you safe travels. g will have an update on the morning drive time all morning long. nobody gets you out the door and to work and school on time like that body. we

case. shawn chitnis has the response from the restaurant owner and the hope that he has for customers going forward. >> reporter: even before law school vavaburria opens its doors the team inside is busy at work keeping up the quality of their ingredients. the owner ricardo lopez says it's a constant challenge to maintain his vision of mexican food at a price the public will pay for. >> i struggle with it right? as a cook to really -- find who our customer base was. >> reporter: his cuisine centers around a recipe he developed from his grandfather's technique for making burria. a mexican meat stew. he started that concept out as food truck, for three years now he's been serving it at this restaurant in the mission. >> this is the food i want to make. if i want to continue to make the food i want to make, if i want to continue to keep, you know, testing new times and new menus, all costs time and money. >> reporter: he says at each step, he has to make a choice

and for him, spending more money to get the best ingredients using additional time and labor is a must. and approach that earned some validation last fall when the "san francisco chronicle" named his burrito the best in the mission. but a few days ago, one customer wrote online they remember having it for half the price two years ago. they still love the burrito, but said for $22 plus tax, they would consider other options around the city. so ricardo decided he wanted to write back. >> i thought all right, this is great time to respond on that. and you know, it was -- in the middle of just starting our service and i sat down and everything just came out. like -- this is what it kind of costs and looks like to us. >> reporter: in his lengthy explanation he won't over all the changes and costs in the last few years and he pointed out the price of beef has gone up more than $2 a pound for him and that's an additional $6,000 a month. labor has also increased a couple dollars in

that time which is at $3,000 a month. >> literally everything has gone up in price. there's not one thing i can think of that's not gone up since covid that's come right back down. >> reporter: the customer also questioned for the article influenced him to raise the price. and he said yes. not to make an extra buck, but to help him manage his expenses. >> if we literally want to stay in business, it's not i'm trying to pay for my ferrari or anything. trying to keep the rent paid. >> reporter: that review of his burrito in the mission helped him realize he could charge more which he hoped more people will now see as elevating the experience of a city classic. >> okay. so we want to have you in the conversation. we're asking you on social media, would you pay $22 for that burrito and 83.9% say no thanks. you know, it's easy to talk about this and have the sticker shock of the $22 but for me the real story come about three-fourths of the way through shawn's story which is

the hook of the story. if we want to stay in business, this is the price we have to charge. that has to say something about the state of san francisco. >> also think about it. how much would you pay for a burger? >> $12. >> would you. >> there's places where you can get a burger it's like $25. i get it. that is a lot of money but it feels comparable to me. >> pizza is $47 right now. if it was my favorite burritopy needed to have it every wednesday, i'm going to pay $50 for the burrito because it brings me joy. >> you are. oh my gosh, that's for somebody who can right? we're talking about one. if i brought in whole family in for that, forget about it. >> i don't know if i'm accustomed to it now because over the last year i'm used to paying $8 for milk now versus $6. so i feel like -- it's just going to keep going in that direction. now i have to think

about okay. what's my second job so i can afford to take my family out to enjoy good food and support businesses? >> at least he's not shrinkflation you know, he's burrito flation. but it's still the same size. >> that's true. 5:26. it was a landslide victory during the primary. california's about to enter in its newest city. we explain what it all means. plus, property owners in a san francisco neighborhood not happy with neighbors on wheels. now there's talk >> tech: cracked windshield? schedule with safelite, and we'll come to you to fix it. >> tech vo: this customer was enjoying her morning walk. we texted her when we were on our way. she could track us and see exactly when we'd arrive. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. let's go! >> tech vo: we came to her with service that fit her schedule. >> woman: you must be pascal. >> tech: nice to meet you. >> tech vo: we got right to work, with a replacement she could trust. >> tech: we're all set. >> woman: wow. that looks great. >> tech: schedule now at safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

right now on cbs news bay area at 5:30 in the morning. this is a live look from the mark hopkins, looking down on beautiful grace cathedral and lights up in the bay. soon the sun will be up and we are there as you start your day. we're always so grateful when you tune in. all right, so let's talk about the weather. it says no parking there. but we are parking on this shot with jess. good morning, jess. i just can't wait for the weekend and i have so many to dos around the household that i've been putting off because of the rain. >> so many to dos. right? i mean, first off, car wash, we can finally get one today. and that's going to last as we head into the next couple of days because it's going to be dry and it's going to be clear and as we wake up this morning in the santa clara valley, we're waking up to a thin layer of haze but the winds are going to start blowing that away and we're going to be left with sunnier skies throughout this afternoon and

all throughout bay area today. on our virtual reality map we're going to ditch the clouds because it's going to be sunny as can be right around the corner for us throughout this afternoon's forecast. and lasting into this weekend too. here's what's going on. if you have noticed, if you take a look at your weather app just on the go, and you are thinking wow, it's going to be warm this weekend, what's going on? first things first the first day of spring is next week and there's that. but second things second high pressure is building in and as that moves closer to us here in california almost creates kind of like a heat dome. we're going to warm up heading into this weekend and upper 70s right around corner for us and also going to see gustier conditions moving in from the north. this ridge of high pressure will bring in some really strong wind speed and anywhere up to around 50 miles per hour at times. so we're replacing the wet conditions that we had the past days with some windy conditions in the next couple of days and that the starts this evening. as the clouds start to push their way through throughout the morning forecast we're going to be left with sunnier skies throughout the afternoon and evening hours tonight and a stimtrend for us tomorrow. but

there's some concern with that too. wind speeds on average will be around 15 to 30 miles per hour throughout the next couple of days. but we can see gusts up to 50 miles per hour and so downed trees and power outages could be possible and we're going to have more on that in a bit. for now over to you, g. thank you, jess. let's talk about the roadways right now. and as we get up and at them and out the door, a few people doing that right now as we speak. as we take a look live here at the bay bridge. not bad. easy ride heading into san francisco right now things are pretty quiet overall which is great news. only thing you want to look out for is supercommuters heads-up. there's a trouble spot as you head near grant line this morning. coming out of mountain house. as you head westbound 205 getting on to 580. and you can see those brake lights are busy there all the way to north flynn. nicole? taking you now to the developing story out of san francisco. eight months ago an older woman died from what police thought was an accident. she was found bleeding on the ground in the bay view neighborhood but now new evidence suggests it could have been foul play. law enforcement says they have video of the

moments before 63-year-old yang fang wu ended up on the ground and even talked to a person of interest. but decided that whatever happened to her was just an accident. community activist group the asian justice movement says there's more to the story. they insist the woman was attacked pushed to the ground and that they want officers to release the video. >> releasing the video is a good step. i'll say that the step feels particularly necessary now. this is approximately nine months after the death of miss wu. the investigation was closed or at least inactive for a majority of that time. it seems like it's -- seems like there's no good reason to continue to keep that video secret. >> sfpd wouldn't say what new evidence they have and that releasing the video would jeopardize the investigation. we know that the da's office

is looking into a different case in the bay view neighborhood. this one about four blocks from where wu was found. they say last week, an elderly asian woman was attacked by a suspect. who grabbed her hair and punched her and threw her to the ground. the asian justice movement wants both of those cases investigated as hate crimes. we don't know yet if the two crimes are related. police are not even identifying a suspect right now. well, good morning to those of you waking up in the east bay. we have an update on the hours long hazmat response that many of you experienced in martinez. turns out, an abandoned tanker carrying vegetable based cooking oil was to blame. crews closed roads and ran tests while many of you were asked to shelter in place. businesses closed too by the way. this morning, we can tell you pacheco road is open once again. and to oakland now. and an update on response to business killing crime in the response in the form of a chp crackdown. let's drill down on that. governor gavin newsom's office releasing a report card of sorts after sending in chp to

clean up crime. 168 arrests including accused carjackers and suspected gang members. the chp also recovered 360 stolen cars during that sting operation. last month governor newsom deployed 72 chp officers to oakland's high risk areas after the closure of several businesses in the area of hegenberger road as well as headlines of some fast food chains closing dining rooms after robberies. the family of an american israeli soldier now knows hamas killed their son the day the terror group killed dozens in their attack on israel on october 7th. just 19 years old, yeti hen lost his life that day. president biden offered his condolences to his fahos t refuses to release it to the family. this morning hamas holds many hostages five of them americans. after four u.s. states held

fremont. >> and i have resided in mountain house for the past ten years with any policeman. >> reporter: not only a resident, he is a realtor who has put a lot of people in their very own mountain house homes and this is a community of homes that has famously seen a very wild ride. >> 2008, the recession, i think mountain house was the most underwater community in the nation. >> reporter: flash forward to the pandemic when homes here were jumping 20% in value and just six months. >> it is still affordable compared to the bay area. but has -- since covid, prices have gone up. >> reporter: now amid another building boom, the famously up and down town is about to become a city. >> which is myself and bernice and mayor. >> reporter: board member matt disco about to become councilmember disco says incorporate ration is originally about control. >> we'll have more from the

the plight of those who live curbside. >> very nice people. but for four years, they've been here. there's no place for them to take showers, there's no -- you know, they throw their garbage out. this is not how they should be treated. >> [ speaking in a global language ] if at any point we bother them they can simply tell us and we'll see what we can do. because in the end we're all people. and we're all in this together. >> all that said, san francisco's enforcement of the overnight parking ban will begin march 28th. time now 5:40. you are seeing more and more of these virtual reality headsets. and now it's giving a real world boost to some older americans. and taking a live look from my raga this morning. why the men's basketball team is going back to the dance at st. mary's. before we head to break a live look from san jose. it's

skier's dream but one visitor will still dig -- she's still digging herself out of the previous snowstorm. >> i'm from texas. so the storm that we just had, that's the first time i have ever seen that much amount of snow before. i learned my lesson. my car was buried for like two, three days. >> it could be another busy weekend for ski resorts out in lake tahoe. the roads should be good for travelers and crews were quick there clear the snow so for now. no chain controls are in effect. and it looks like a lot of fun actually our friends going up there today. to go enjoy, you know, all of this fresh powder. i'll let them do that i'm going to enjoy the sunshine a little closer to home. we have plenty of that back here in the bay area. but i will say this, for our friends heeding up to the sierra within the next couple of days, while we're dealing with the wind advisory, they're dealing with a high wind warning which is in that highlighted red color right there. just along the sierra. the reason why i want to bring this up, the same system that's bringing in sunnier skies for us and warmer temperatures around the corner is the same system bringing in

some gusty conditions for us heading into the next couple of days. starting this evening at 5:00 p.m., many of us are going to be under a wind advisory where we can see gusts anywhere up to around 50 miles per hour so downed trees and power outages are possible. heading into our evening hours tomorrow, as it starts to really gain strength, tomorrow we can see wind gusts close to around 40 miles per hour mostly up in the north bay. so we're keeping a close eye on wine country heading into the next couple of days. friday a similar trend and wind speeds close to around 40 miles per hour bust by lunchtime into friday. a gusty setup along the coast too. we're all going to notice it and the reason why i bring this up now is because our fire index increases a little bit. keep in mind as the wind moves in from the indiansen it's dry condensed air and that's the thing we're watching closely especially in areas like vacaville and angwin and calistoga. in the medium category for fire danger on the next couple of days. on the bright side -- not on the bright side just yet but take a look at this too. also dealing with a high pollen count and heading into this weekend high conditions lasting into early

next week. you know, with the strong wind whipping up all that pollen you are going to want to take it slow out there for any outdoor activities you do. here's the bright side. 70s in the forecast for us heading into the weekend for many of our inland areas. so if you want to go watch the blue angels pop the claritin and head out there. beautiful one. igor, travis air force base plenty of sunshine expected and we're going to see that here in san francisco too. mid 60s in the forecast for us in the weekend near san francisco. we are in for a treat ranking on heading out to the parade on market street. luckily we have that sunshine to accompany it. we also have that warming trend that's not only going to last for the weekend, but into early next week too. so we're slowly getting rid oflow 60s in areas like livermore stretching down into los gatos throughout the next couple of days. and we'll continue to warm up and see more sunshine into early next week with 70s holding on tight to us into next tuesday. g? jess, sound good. let's talk about the freeways because they're starting to get a little busy out there if you are getting ready to make the

ride over towards the bay bridge. all right starting to back up this morning. here's a live look at conditions and yeah, you can see it's starting to get a little slow for commuters heading westbound getting that ride over to san francisco. back up just beyond that overpass. not quite to the foot of maze this morning. for anybody you know tuning in right now and you are watching, if you drive along the peninsula. all green. good to go. only slight delays on 880 right now. still looking good as well for that part of the commute. really the only hotspot right now is the ride westbound 580 coming out of tracy. so extending back on to 205 near mountain house. all right, headed westbound through there, it stays slow at least to north flynn. earlier crash near grant line completely cleared out of lanes. so that's certainly helping the commute this morning. but this is our slow spot for supercommuters so just be prepared for that. well, plans for eco-friendly rail service are on track here in the bay area. caltrain says it has
