6:01 pm
diverted. the m ocean avenue and k ingleside trains are affected, and john ramos has more on the story. >> reporter: ten years ago, the city of san francisco embarked on an ambitious goal called vision zero to eliminate all pedestrian fatal accidents in the city. unfortunately, what happened here today shows it is a vision that is not yet realized. shortly after noon a car turned off a side street on to ulloa avenue near the entrance to the west portal muni station. serena gomez was working at a hair salon nearby when she heard a commotion and went outside to investigate. >> people were trying to block something. they were trying to cover what looked like a body. so we ran over to see, and there were bodies everywhere. >> reporter: the mercedes suv plowed head first into a utility pole, but it appears that the car first hit a group of pedestrians on the sidewalk. >> some witnesses were saying she was flying so fast that she was going so fast the man --

there's a car over there, and he said that she was just flying. and i'm -- and that there was a stroller, the baby in a stroller. it was not anything you want to see. >> and unfortunately, two were just really, really critically injured and there was no hope for them, but we quickly transported the three others to the hospital. >> reporter: officials are not releasing many details about the crash, but it is confirmed that at least one of the victims was a young child. mayor london breed, who arrived on scene, said witnesses are extremely shaken. >> you can imagine, children are involved here, that's traumatic for a lot of people who were here and may have witnessed this situation occur. >> reporter: city's vision zero program is designed to eliminate roadway conditions that could contribute to pedestrian deaths, but there are some accidents that cannot be foreseen, and officials are
6:03 pm
warning the public not to zum up to any conclusions on this one. >> we don't know if the driver had a medical emergency. that is all under investigation. so this may have nothing to do with vision zero. it's under investigation. we don't know the cause at this time. >> reporter: again, two people have been killed and three sent to the hospital with critical injuries. mayor breed says if anything about this road contributed to the accident it will be addressed but for now sit a matter that is still very much under investigation. in may of last year, a bystander was killed, others hurt, when a car crashed into a bus stop in the city's mission district. and in august an elderly driver struck a family walking near oracle park. their 4-year-old daughter died from her injuries. on average, about 30 people die every year because of traffic accidents in the city. the safety advocacy group walk sf said this is one of the worst pedestrian
6:04 pm
tragedies to ever occur on san francisco's streets. it's almost beyond comprehension. people demand serious, large scale changes so that streets prioritize our safety. we're continuing to follow this story. da lin will have the latest on the investigation coming up at 11:00. over in the south bay, a big drug and weapons bust led by san jose police. officers served a warrant at a music studio where they suspect drug witness dealt. they did find illegally owned guns and drugs. a shootout on 780 that started when police stopped a vehicle involved in an armed robbery. suspects in the vehicle fired shots, officers fired back. two are now in custody. no injuries reported. a major freeway closure in effect for the entire weekend. caltrans is finally starting a repaving project on interstate 680 in pleasanton. that's been pushed ba twice because of rain. this stretch of
6:05 pm
southbound 680 is closed from the 580 connecter to koopman road. various on and off-ramps are also shut down. that means the southern flow of traffic will be shut off across pleasanton down to sunol. the closure comes as dublin is hosting its 40th saint patrick's day celebration this weekend. >> we've personally publicized this so that people are aware that this closure is happening. so we don't want any surprises. >> caltrans says the weekend closure will accomplish what would otherwise take 40 nighttime closures. the freeway is expected to re-open monday morning. saint patrick's day is tomorrow, but the celebrations began today. parades across the country. in chicago they dyed the river groan as per usual, and while san francisco did not dye it green, market street was flooded with color. thousands of people, more than 100 floats over the streets.
6:06 pm
>> back home in ireland we wear shamrock, the real actual plant and generally go to mass in the morning because it's a holy day. and then i -- as a kid i would take part in parade, but we always got the day off work and the day off school, so it's always a fun day in ireland. and here we hang out with our friends. we have, you know, corn beef and cabbage. that's more of a u.s. thing. >> enjoy it while you're here. the parade is follow bid a festival near the civic center, and celebrations will, of course, continue through the night. and we are less than a month away from the tax deadline. and if you're feeling overwhelmed, the irs is opening special tax assistance centers. there are three here in the bay area. the purpose of these events is for people to meet face to face with the irs employees to get help with tax account issues. normally you would need to make an appointment for this kind of service. they won't to your tax returns for you, but they can answer your questions. >> anything but tax
6:07 pm
preparation, so you have a letter, an unresolved letter. you have issues in way, shape, or form with your taxes. need some help, need some face-to-face reassurance for whatever it might be. bring your paperwork with you, your id, all those things. come without an appointment. >> the irs is planning two special saturday openings as well on april 13th and may 18th. still ahead at 6:00, a volcanic eruption in iceland forcing evacuations. we'll have the latest. plus, the blizzard in the sierra carving out canyons in the snow. >> it's the first time i've seen anything like that here. and coming up in the first alert forecast, we're going to look ahead. the marine layer coming back in the morn, but the headline is the temperature in the afternoon. how much longer are we doing low 70s in if you like that, you may like this forecast coming up next.
6:08 pm
6:09 pm
6:10 pm
well, spring can bring some pretty explosive weather, and today it broke out. three people died after a severe tornado ripped through parts of ohio. people in the lakeview area are assessing damage to their homes and businesses. residents say they have never seen anything compared to the damage left behind by the storm. >> as soon as i hit the living room, i heard it sound like my roof was coming off. >> reporter: what did you do? >> hit the floor. you've got people everywhere coming through asking if you need food and water or anything. and i mean, there's just so many people around that's trying to help. >> by the way, i said today, that storm was on thursday,
6:11 pm
meanwhile, this is the view from colorado after they were hit with a blizzard. this is just west of denver. you can see all of the homes covered in snow. here's another look at all of that too. over four feet fell in the mountains during that storm. and evacuations underway after a volcano erupted again in iceland. you can see the lava flowing rapidly. fourth time the area has seen volcanic activity since just december. >> from fire to ice, check out the quick work by the staff at sierra at tahoe ski resort after a dangerous crack in the snow closed part of the run. crews got in and made the area safe again for skiers and snowboarders. >> we were seeing sustained winds for several days. >> reporter: the last winter storm left behind a new feature on the mountain that left resort staff stunned. >> it's the first time i've ever seen anything like that here. >> reporter: sierra tahoe general manager john rice says
6:12 pm
strong winds and heavy snowfall formed 20-foot high wind lips and helped create this massive crevice about 40 feet deep leading into underground coverages. >> essentially like you'd see at higher altitudes. >> reporter: rice attributes some of these formations to the absence of trees on the mountain. the fire in 2021 burned off thousands of them that acted as wind barriers. >> you can imagine every valley has a river or creek, seasonal creek, and at the bottom that water is running year round. so when it warms up, you'll get little areas that'll open up. >> reporter: i'm at the bottom of one of the ski list, and middle castle is beyoind the ridge right there. staff here at the resort tell me they that's they have never seen any formations like that on this mountain before. despite it being located on the border of the existing boundary on the back side of the mountain, crews worked quickly to fill it
6:13 pm
in. >> snow safety, avalanche blasting a number of different approaches to trying to push that snow in the -- into those areas and create a ridge to keep people out of them. >> reporter: while a portion of the run remains blocked off, skiers like eva and her family can rest assured knowing that measures are being taken to keep them safe. >> i'm happy to know that, like, this place is generally safe. that's why we're here. >> reporter: rice notes adapting to the changing conditions of the mountain is an ongoing process but one that provides a safe and enjoyable experience. >> we're starting to figure it out, and it's still a wonderful product. >> there's so much snow this year, did you get to ski in any of this? >> no, no, you know i just stay here. >> yes. we need to know what's happening. right, and more good news on that. four days ago we crossed a crucial landmark when it comes to snow in the sierra. we always say what the snow water content is and tell you for that date, like on march 1st we did it and said where we
6:14 pm
were. the most important number is where we were in terms of april 1st. and we got to 100% of that. >> so we don't need anymore rain or snow. >> in one sense i suppose you could say that. we're going to get more. >> okay. >> let me show you what that map looks like. that's actual visualized data from the snow centers across the sierra. if you're a geek about detailed maps like this, you have to love something like this. the number shows you we're 100% of where we should be on april 1st, the most important snow survey of the year. it's the one water managers use to gauge how much we're going have going into summer and fall. after april 1st when we start losing the snow pack. you see where the snow is in the sierra. snow on the ground down to around 6,000 feet still up there. okay but back here at home things started changing today. it was a real pretty day. watch what showed up an hour, hour and a half ago sitting off the coast. you're
6:15 pm
going to see this layer of marine layer cloud right there. that's coming back in tomorrow. it's like a summer pattern in terms of mornings with the marine layer filling in. that might make a lot of sense if you were outside at all today. low 70s just about everywhere. we're not breaking records when we do this, but we are five, seven degrees above average for this time of year. and we're not getting rid of this until like maybe wednesday or thursday of next week. in fact, monday and tuesday will be a little warmer than this. that's that live look outside again watching that time lapse. here comes the marine layer tomorrow morning. it won't be too noticeable. if you're an early riser tomorrow, don't be surprised if you notice a few low clouds. watch what happens on monday morning. we haven't seen a pattern like this like since last summer. that's the marine layer filling in all of the interior valleys. so we're going to wake up on monday morning in march with may gray pretty much everywhere. and it won't last. it's all going to melt back by the time we get to
6:16 pm
9:00 or 10:00. then it'll be nothing but blue sky. remember monday after that melts away is actually the warmest day in the whole seven-day forecast. we'll be mid-70s on monday. show you that in the seven-day forecast in one second. in the meantime, there's nothing happening here. we are safely removed from that pinwheel of low pressure over arizona. we're waiting for the storm track to come back. and we already know for like the next five days it doesn't. but by friday of next week it does. we're going to have much more on this as we get closer to it. it doesn't look super impressive, but you're going see there's rain that shows up towards the end of next week, by friday into saturday. back here we've got scattered showers showing up that'll take us from friday into the weekend. but look what happens back here for the rest of the week. oakland, you're going to be two degrees shy of 70 degrees on monday. san francisco will be in the mid-60s. let's pull out a few other microclimates here. going to be 76 in san jose on monday. and sure, you got to cool down a little on tuesday and wednesday but you're still in
6:17 pm
27 #10s. north bay valleys go from mid-50s to mid and upper 60s. but also duration, how long might it stick around. could be another one of those cutoff lows that has no motivation to leave and maybe lingers for a little bit. so we're going to broad brush from friday into next week. matt, over to you. ahead in sports, selection sunday just a day away. one local bay area team will anxiously await their seeding and region. plus, one of the giants biggest free agent additions made a big splash on saturday this one's going to get the fans excited for opening day.

your favorite days of the year. less than 24 hours away from selection sunday. saint mary's knows they're the only men's team in the entire bay area going to the big dance. >> coming back here and seeing our wonderful fans is a dream come true for all of us. >> this is hometown love. you know, being from here and everything, it's great to see all the support we're getting. we hope to continue that. >> reporter: the gaels took down gonzaga friday night, getting their revenge against the school that ruined their perfect record. >> that didn't leave a good taste in our mouth. we wanted to stick it to them. >> reporter: making the end of their season even sweeter was how it began a 3-5 record and a few injury, but the gaels showed resistance. >> we were 3-5 at one point this year. that's crazy to a bad dream or something. >> reporter: saint mary's was headed to march madness either way, but their win on tuesday night guarantees them a spot in
6:21 pm
the tournament. how exciting is it to get to the big dance? >> you got to love it. i told them last year, you can't imagine college basketball without it. i'm 2 for 2, and i don't plan on changing that. >> it's the biggest stage there is in college basketball. i mean, everybody's watching. everybody like filling up those brackets. the a's made it official this morning, they signed j.d. davis to a one-year deal after he was released by san francisco earlier this week. and speaking of former giants, third baseman, the big marine, matt williams back in the orange and black this season. the panda, pablo sandoval, he was used as a pinch-runner, not sure that we've ever seen that happen before. and the new guy, matt chapman, he connected for his first homer of the spring. giants beat the guardians 6-0. the 49ers re-signed guard john feliciano to a one-year deal on friday. the veteran offensive lineman got a different kind of signing bonus. feliciano posted it was the best day ever to get a new deal and he no longer has to
6:22 pm
deal with rams star aaron donald twice a year after donald announced his retirement yesterday. former bears quarterback justin fields is headed to pittsburgh. he'll likely be the backup to the newly signed russell wilson. chicago traded fields after only three seasons because they are expected to take caleb williams with the number one pick in the draft next month. but we all know the draft is a crap shoot. look at brock purdy, mr. irrelevant in 2022. he was the ninth quarterback selected, and today he is the only one with a starting job. and then there's the class of 2021 which had five quarterbacks picked in the top 15. only trevor lawrence is a starter. trey lance, you know him well, justin fields, and mac jones have all been traded. and then zach wilson likely on his way out in new york. let's switch to golf. signature hole, the island green. peter living on the edge. he's really risking it. xander started the day four
6:23 pm
shots behind wyndham clark, but he rolled in the long birdie putt on 14. this thing took forever to get there. he's got the outright lead here. xander shot a 65 to get to 17 under for tournament. he now leads clark by one heading into the final round. ben silverman. he was out early this morning because he chose to stop on the 18th hole last night when play was suspended. he practiced his shot over and over again on the range because he needed to hole this out to make the cut, but it didn't carry over. he hit it right into the rough, and that was the end of his day. silverman ended up missing the cut. and back to baseball, where you better pay attention if you sit behind the plate. listen to his reaction on the wild pitch. >> stays back on that pitch, just serves it the other way. >> oh jesus [ bleep ] eddie. >> he wasn't kidding. he was headed for the exits, and eddie had to watch the rest of the game alone. look at him go. he's out of there. i will say
6:24 pm
this, guy, they put up the nets, you know, all the way down the first and third baselines in baseball. it always amazes me, i don't know how more people, honestly, did not die with all the foul balls that are sprayed to first third base. the nets are probably a very good idea. even that guy behind it was like i'm out, i'm good. >> but the net was there, right? >> the net was there. that guy just overreacted. the first and third base side thing, it's crazy we went so many years without more injuries. >> when did they put the nets up? >> just a few years ago. >> probably smart. a couple bats are going all over the place. >> well. >> all right. >> i'm glad that major league baseball is now a safer place. thank you. in the next half hour, the race for the white house heating cup with the candidates visiting battleground states with very different messages. and one bay area congressional race is still too close to call. the latest. and our project earth series looks at how salmon in new zealand can help restore

6:29 pm
senate seat ahead of a competitive, three-way gop primary. >> i think there is a divide in our state obviously, yes. >> reporter: friday trump's former vice president mike pence said he cannot in good conscience support him again. but team trump did have a small victory in delaying his new york hush money trial. and in georgia, special prosecutor nathan wade resigned from the 2020 election interference case after the judge there ruled either he or d.a. fani willis and her office had to step aside following a hearing about their romantic relationship. it remains unclear how many of trump's four criminal cases will go to trial before the fall as voters brace for a rematch. >> but not everybody's thrilled about it. our members are focused on turning out for president biden. >> reporter: president biden aimed to energize others this week in key battlegrounds of michigan and wisconsin, two states that helped him win the

6:32 pm
professor of political science at san jose state university. she says the way this race has played out may be an indication of the type of supporters each candidate has. >> you know, we can speculate that the people who are really on top of this and paying a lot of attention and voting early, getting their ballots in ahead of time, you know, might be older voters with a little more time on their hands or maybe people who are more familiar with someone like joe simitian who's been in politics for a number of decades. whereas those last-minute voters might tend to be younger, maybe looking for a younger candidate like evan low, who does represent, you know, a new generation. >> reporter: no matter the end result, both low and simitian have emphasized this race is a perfect example of why voting matters so much. >> the fact that this race could come down to a relative
6:33 pm
handful of vote is a reminder that every vote counts. >> now all of those seats will be filled by men. first senator alex padilla who replaced vice president kamala harris. feinstein's seat will likely be filled with either representative adam schiff or republican steve garvey. and it is an all male race for eshoo's seat. the governor of our state was supposed to give the state of the state address on monday, but he's pushed it back. gavin newsom's office hasn't said when he will give the speech. they say, his office says, he needs more clarity on the issues before he can give the speech. more than 100 years ago chinook salmon from a river near the shasta dam ended up in the cold mountain waters of new

6:35 pm
summer of 2021 was a grim one for the salmon. >> we were in the midst of the peak of our most recent severe drought, and these fish are now trapped down on the valley floors. and the valley floors are much hotter. water that's too hot is lethal for salmon. >> reporter: california's fish and wildlife just awarded $50 million in grants for 15 projects. one involved the tribe's attempts to restore wild salmon to the river. >> this is the right thing to do, and it'll help us figure out how to safe salmon in california. >> so they are in a dire position now and may go extinct if this project that we're involved with isn't successful. >> reporter: sissing recounts how the problem first began with the shasta dam. while the dam provides flood control, hydroelectric power, and water supplies -- >> it is a weapon of mass
6:36 pm
destruction to me. >> reporter: built during world war ii, shasta dam flooded the tribe off their ancestral land. it also blocked the chinook from returning to the icy cold mccloud river to spawn. in 1994, these fish were federally listed as endangered. the tribe held protests, then chief sisk got an email. >> do you want your salmon back? we have them. >> reporter: the email was from the head of the people of new zealand. it turns out in the 19th century, millions of salmon eggs from the mccloud river were exported to 30 states and 14 different countries to create new salmon runs. the only one that thrived is the one in new zealand. sisk and other tribal members traveled to see the fish and began determined to bring some back home to the mccloud. >> you know, we want to welcome them home. >> what better way to try to heal past injuries and show the world it's possible to do things together and make it
6:37 pm
better. >> reporter: in an historic agreement, the tribe is working with fish and wildlife and noaa fisheries to support a joint effort to return the salmon to the mccloud. sisk believes the wild salmon eggs will fare better than those hatched near dam. >> the salmon survive. people will survive. if we can get a passage from the sacramento river past the dam so that fish can swim in and out on their own, then we have wild fish again. >> reporter: the hope? to get them home safely, as soon as possible. >> the tribe will also use the grant money to help establish a new passage for the salmon to return to the mccloud river and bypassing shasta dam. for more information on all of our project earth stories and how you can protect the planet, just go to our website, kpix.com. and still ahead here at 6:00, latest discovery from the james webb telescope and what it means for the origins of

6:43 pm
are in this nice dynamic environment between the earth, the moon, and the sun, but you've got to be in the path of totality or really, i think, feel it. >> the partials are cool, but totality is amazing. like actual amazement. >> reporter: at this point, airfare to totality is hovering around $1,000. of course, you could drive for 25 hours. >> you hear everyone going crazy here. >> reporter: for four minutes of totality. is there anything like it? >> no, nothing like it at all. i want to see as many total solar eclipses as i possibly can in my life. >> reporter: so let's hope this doesn't happen. it's a long wait until 2045 when the next total solar eclipse makes landfall in the u.s. >> you haven't seen it, you
6:44 pm
haven't seen anything. >> all right, that's a little dramatic. another total eclipse outside of the u.s. will happen in 2026. that's the thing. this is the last one until 2045 domestically. >> domestically. >> 2026 you could go of the arctic, to greenland, or iceland to see another one. it's a bit of a slep, you think this one's big. you ever seen one? >> no. >> andrea. darren, have you seen one? >> i've never seen one. >> well, if he's never seen one, i've never seen one. well, coming up, bay area communities making it official becoming the state's first new i? a decade where you can expect to see a new dot on your map. as we discussed in the previous half hour, i never travel anywhere, okay, look what showed up. marine layer is back, but the real story besides the 70-degree days, and we're going to talk about,

and welcome back. here's a live look at the bay area right now. yep. there it is. as live as it gets. okay. now that we know that. darren, it's clear for a change. >> you know not everywhere. right off the coast, coastside in san mateo county, marine layer is hanging out there. >> really? >> yes, in fact, viewer just showed me a live view. i got to walk over this way. you see a live view. that's the view from mark hopkins looking to the east. but just to show you what has been lurking off the coast here, take a look at the
6:49 pm
marine layer, that's live. from mark hopkins looking toward mount sutro. those clouds are hanging out by half moon bay. it's not overwhelming gray, but we haven't seen much of the marine layer like that along the coast coming in through the golden fwaets, more of a summary thing, coming back the next two days. and the temperatures are also going well above average. look at these numbers for today. low 70s for just about everybody. just for comparison, those numbers are what the climate books tell us in average daytime highs. so right now we're sitting five, seven degrees above that in many places. we're going to get a degree or two warmer over the next couple of days. this is sunday. monday the numbers go up maybe another two or throe. monday's probably the peak, but tuesday and wednesday are just as nice. you won't really notice much of a change. if you are enjoying this weather, you're going to get it for a little while here. you can see when you look at the map we're shaded in the above average. that much we know. let's see how things are going to take a turn. there's monday. watch by the end of the week, all of a sudden now the colder air comes
6:50 pm
back, and yep, we're going to start talking about another storm. there's more rain coming our way on friday and saturday. and there's some question in terms of how much we might get. i'll show you what i mean by that in one second. first, here's tomorrow morning, watch what happens. look at the inland valleys here, start filling in with a little bit of the marine layer. you've got to be up early to notice it. by 8:00 in the morning, it'll be gone. let's watch monday. monday it's more widespread and noticeable. when we start out this workweek, you're going to wake up to may gray in mid-march. it won't last. by 10:00 a.m. you'll get more sunshine than anything else. and remember, monday's actually the warmest day in the whole seven-day, but seasons are changing. very subtle. you got to start somewhere, and we're starting to see the marine layer now start squeezing in through the golden gate in kind of a more, you know, seasonal pattern that you don't typically get in the winter. big picture shows us we're not done with winter, though. so if we go out here, watch this next storm. that's going to get totally destroyed by the ridge of high pressure in its way. everything's got
6:51 pm
to go ard the long way, or if it tries to go through, it doesn't go well for it. but by the time we get to friday, the ridge breaks down and now we have another pretty good looking system. and while we are not going to look at this as exactly the way it's going to go, there's pretty good agreement now in just about all the long range models something similar to this timingwise is coming in friday and maybe longer. watch how it kind of spins its wheels there. it could go into the weekend. here's the takeaway on this. when we get to the seven-day, you're going see drops of rain from friday on. but if we put the totals on here, the numbers really do range -- there's a pretty big spread here. so one of the more conservative models says in that three of this day period, three or four-day period, maybe you'll get about 0.5 an inch of rain. should that system but one of those that lingers for four days, 0.5 an inch is not a lot. it's easy to handle that. if we look at the other forecast model that's a bit more bullish on
6:52 pm
this storm being able to produce it says, oh no, over four days, i think you're going get 1.5 inches, 2 inches. even if that happened over four day, totally manageable, not a major event. but it'll be rain and a busy looking seven-day forecast as a result. you'll get plenty of sunshine in the afternoon. in the seven-day forecast, there are those drops of rain from friday on. now, watch the monday through wednesday timeframe when we look at our microclimates. look at the bottom line. san jose, 76 degrees on monday. you should be in the mid to upper 60s right now. you're still there all the way through thursday. i don't think you notice much of a difference even if thursday is technically five degrees cooler. it's still a very nice day, and you probably won't notice. by the weekend you will. noticeably cooler. that's why we watched that map where the temperature started to shade blue. more on that system, guys, as we get closer to it. >> thank you, mr. peck. coming up next, california has a new city. it's one you may have driven through on your way to the central valley. why

more than a decade, a new city is opening up in california. we're talking about mountain house. just outside of tracey. and it's actually one of the fastest growing places in the state. >> the community overwhelmingly voted to make mountain house a city during last week's primary elections and we'll finally get to see that happen this summer. >> wilson walker has more on the area's recent up-and-down history and how it shaped the community. >> so i am originally from -- born and raise in fremont, and i've resided in mountain house for the past ten years with my family. >> reporter: not only a resident, he's 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
6:57 pm
the pandemic when homes here were jumping 20% in value in just six months. >> and it's still affordable compared to the bay area but has since covid prices have gone up. >> reporter: and now amid another building boom, the famously up-and-down town is about to become a city. >> so from here over the three of us will remain, which is myself, bernice tingle, and mayor andy su. >> reporter: board member matt disco about to become councilmember disco says incorporation is about control. >> we'll have more from the sales revenue versus the 1% we currently get. we'll have a local planning department who can issue rezoning and building permit, currently a county process. so all of these things are now in our control. we don't have to ask permission from the county or we don't have to increase our special taxes. >> reporter: and more control will be critical as mountain house moves into another period of explosive growth with golf course plans getting scrapped for still more homes.
