6:01 am
21st. >> we are in the process of reaching out to those voters to make sure they are in fact the ones who sent the ballots. >> how tight is the race in the 11th hour of ballot counting in one district? count your fingers, the details ahead. her work, keeping people in their houses, she has been doing it for decades, meet this bay area bridgebuilder. it's what you didn't learn in history class and probably should have, the new intersection between culture and our farm labor community, how a new musical tells the bay area story long untold. and
6:02 am
basketball brackets and the number 64, are you mad about the madness in march? join us to talk about sports in our community. >> it is nice to have you here, as we talk about the brackets. >> put it on your resume if you have a good bracket, if you don't come you just rip it up and pretend like it didn't happen, let's take a look outside on this thursday morning, not a lot of madness in the forecast for now, jessica, but apparently this weekend, things might get a little bit crazy in the bay area. >> we are expecting some rain right around the corner for us, this is coming to an end. let's dive into the forecast, and as we take a look this morning, in the santa clara valley, we are waking up to partly cloudy skies with very
6:03 am
similar trend all the way along the peninsula and up into san francisco where there is another look behind me, one looking at the golden gate bridge. visibility at the surface level is not that bad this morning. we can see some patchy fog but this afternoon, it'll be just like yesterday. another cool and cloudy day with rain offshore that is going to start impacting us . that is going to last as we head into the weekend, so grab the umbrella and get ready to go, this area of low pressure still gaining some strength as it moves its way closer to us, it is going to continue to bring out moisture throughout the bay area but also upended the sierra where they will get plenty of snow this weekend. this weekend they are going to be under a winter storm watch so if you're considering going into the sierra region, keep in mind to have those chains ready and the highest elevated areas are going to see anywhere around three feet of snow. difficult travel is expected, but i'm going to break down
6:04 am
the rain forecast for us in just a bit. taking a look at the golden gate bridge, where he looks to be an easy drive, clear conditions in both directions. this is a view above the topaz as traffic starts to stretch past the metering lights, we will start to see this build up over the next few hours. this is normal, but if you're heading into san francisco, you might want to take the san mateo bridge from highway 101, and pretty good flow for our drivers coming from the east bay. a tragic update this morning, we are learning the entire family involved in the weekend crash has died, we have an update on the tragic weekend crash in the west portal neighborhood because we have four family members that were involved in that deadly crash and now the newborn that was involved in the crash has died. the latest, police tell us the
6:05 am
three month old baby who initially survived died in the hospital yesterday, his mom, dad and brother died over the weekend when a speeding suv hit them as they waited for a bus at the zoo. the driver is facing multiple charges including vehicular manslaughter. the defense attorney isn't representing her but he says the whole thing could end without a jail sentence. >> there's no real consolation to give, the best you can do is to give a predictable closure. you can say to the district attorney, we are not going to trial on this case, they don't have to ever relive this. we are going to try to resolve this in a way that makes sense, given that imprisoning somebody who is around 80 years old makes little sense for anybody. >> at last check, the driver is still in the hospital and police say she was driving the wrong way, showed no signs of breaking before hitting the
6:06 am
bench. we have the results of proposition one after a close race, the measure has passed. the bond measure backed by gavin newsom would allow the state to borrow more than $6 billion to build thousands of housing units and mental health treatment facilities. newsom posted it is a huge victory for tackling homelessness in the state and the biggest change california has seen in decades. he says it is time to get to work repairing decades of broken promises and neglect. the district 16 congressional race is turning out to be a real nail-biter and proving why every vote matters, more than two weeks after the primary, we still have a razor thin margin separating the second and third spot. they have just three votes separating them. whoever eventually was mac will face sam liccardo in november in the race to replace the retiring congresswoman. slam dunk to march madness,
6:07 am
the final round is finally here, that starts in just hours. the women's contest starts tomorrow so we are watching that as well. looking at st. mary's, where the men's team is in the first round of the ncaa tournament, and the fun fanned sendoff shows the excitement, there is the look at all the fans from the helicopter as the team set off to take on grand canyon university. good morning to you diehard fans, we have been cheering with you. the players are feeling the love. >> just knowing the support is behind us, it is our motive, obviously we play for one another but we also play for everybody else that is behind us. you just don't get this many times in life, so you better enjoy it. >> fans are finding their way to spokane, that game tips off at 7:00 tomorrow night.
6:08 am
and we cannot forget about our stanford women, they will also be representing northern california in the tournament, they will play norfolk state tomorrow at maples pavilion. there is still time to fill out your bracket this morning. yesterday, matt lively started filling out his bracket with the help of friends along the streets of san francisco. but together, they helped matt fill out the people's bracket. >> i don't even know what that is. >> you are making our final four pick, uconn or baylor ? >> it has got to be contacted, because they have a cooler name. >> shawn chitnis is here now on why it is virtually impossible to have the perfect bracket. >> i spoke to an expert, and
6:09 am
we basically went back to school, so who doesn't want to talk about math at 6:00 in the morning? the conventional wisdom out there is that it is much harder to get a perfect bracket in the men's tournament because there are so many upsets. so we met a professor at san francisco state university who has literally done the math on this, he states someone's future performance is based on how they complete any task like cooking dinner with your mom or playing a college basketball game in the tournament, we know that but he has ever had a perfect bracket, but you are more likely to have a chance at a better bracket in the women's tournament because historically, there has been less upsets or low seeded teams moving on. so, especially on the men's side, he is basically saying there is a math to the madness each march. >> there's enough randomness in the process, which is why i
6:10 am
don't think there will ever be a perfect bracket because the probability of creating that perfect bracket is so difficult. there's so much randomness, even on the women's side, that it is so hard to get a perfect bracket. >> earlier you were asking, is there a major, yes, i think it is called math, which is what he does. so, how many one or two seeds do you think were in the men's tournament for the final four last year? >> i hate the pressure of this, too. >> i think i know the answer but i think i'm going to let them say it. >> one. this gets to the point we are talking about, there are upsets, so if you are like me and have those higher seeded brackets, you're not going to do so well. >> but it is the dream bracket. >> yes. i did all ones and two's, i think last year there was a four, five and nine, and
6:11 am
uconn was the lower seeded team that did actually win. although i wanted somebody from our side of the country to win, so i went with arizona. >> everybody feels like you would know, nicole. >> actually, i hosted bracket-ology shows. i really just chose emotionally, it just felt right, it seemed right, it's kind of like when you choose your lottery numbers, like this is my kids birthday and this is the year i was married, emotional choices, and then you don't win, and what are you left with?
6:12 am
>> well, you can probably flush my bracket, i chose the aggies versus the gaels when it comes down to it, so it is all coming down to where i live. they area. >> repeat after me, underdogs, underdogs. but, you know, i had no idea how to fill out a bracket until this year, i am still learning, i'm learning through the show actually, so you guys are educating me a lot. >> i never want to bump into matt lively while they are showing my bracket, he has very judgy energy. >> well, if you think you know which teams are going to come
6:13 am
out on top, march madness, join our team and be a part of the kpix march madness bracket challenge , you can play against us and compare your score with ours, you can actually win $1000, so it is worth your time because you can get rich. and if you beat us, we will put you on air, so there you go. here are the big games you can watch on cbs today, mississippi state versus michigan state, that is in a couple of hours, then top-ranked north carolina versus wagner at 11:45 and later in the day we have kentucky versus oakland at 4:10 and texas tech versus north carolina state at 6:40. really, no reason to go to work today, stay in your pajamas and watch some basketball. it is 6:13 in the morning, there is wind at our back on the web, sadly your bracket challenge could be vulnerable, we are going to let you know

march 31st is the day that we honor cesar chavez and the work he did to unite farmworkers, but little do people know, the man who stood by his side was a filipino-american. his story represents something you probably did not learn in history class. somebody worked very hard to amplify his story, first as a children's book and now on a bay area stage. here is ryan yamamoto. >> reporter: you can feel the tension coming from gail as she watches the cast and crew fine-tune her creation. bringing it to life on stage. >> this is the really stressful time because we are so crunched of time. >> reporter: it is a journey that began five years ago, when gail along with her friend wrote a children's book. telling the story of

6:26 am
actors, it is a chance for them to tell an authentic story about their own history. >> what it means to do this show about philippine american history is very rare, because not many shows are done with filipino actors. >> it feels like we are doing with our actors, our community, with our people, we are not alone in doing this and i think that is the best part of it. >> and for the cast and crew, the best part will come on opening night, where gail hopes her rehearsal will turn into a moment of reflection. >> i haven't had that moment where i get to sink into a chair and watch it, and just wonder what happened the last five years. i haven't gone there yet and i don't know what that's going to look like. >> reporter: looking forward to seeing her creation come to life on stage, but more importantly, looking forward to

6:31 am
we head into the next couple of days, we have some rain in the forecast, diving into the weekend and of course it has to land on the weekend, too. here is our headlines in the next couple of days, cool and cloudy conditions the rest of this afternoon, passing clouds into the afternoon today and suddenly the rain returns friday, that will linger as we head into the weekend. out in the pacific, here is san francisco, there is still a system that is building, it is an area of low pressure and it is gaining strength as it moves closer to us. as it makes its way in, it is going to give snow to the sierra but it will also give us our fair share of rain throughout the bay area and that will last as we head into saturday, sunday and potentially monday, too. up in the sierra, they are under a winter storm watch starting tomorrow morning, we will have more on this coming up in a bit. let's get a look from the view on top of the toll plaza
6:32 am
on the richmond san rafael bridge, it looks like a standstill, going westbound, all the traffic is due to a stalled vehicle, just be aware it is blocking one lane and they are waiting for assistance, so people are just parked. sluggish conditions continue halfway through the bridge. it is open on the eastbound side. your drive time is going up and going westbound on 580, that is where you want to focus on the map. dense traffic. an invasive crime in san jose, police say a man planted a hidden camera inside of a starbucks restroom and recorded footage of dozens of victims. the camera was found by an employee at the starbucks on coleman avenue, it was hidden beneath the restroom sink facing the toilet, there were more than 91 victims, ranging in age from 4 to 85. >> that is not good, to hear somebody is looking at us, that

6:34 am
third filed by the justice department in 14 years. looking at san francisco where voters passed a controversial ballot measure that would require drug screenings for people looking to get financial help. it's passage is already feeling some pushback. this is the sticking point, how to implement it. a lot of people are wondering if it can come to life and reality and they are hitting the pavement. they face short staffing and that makes it really impossible to implement the new drug screening law. >> shut it down. >> more than 100 city human service agency workers filled the pavilion outside the headquarters to demand better working conditions. >> they have been moving me from department to department to help different areas of need
6:35 am
because we just don't have enough staff. all of us feel like we are doing the jobs of two or three different people and that is just not fair. >> alejandra is a child welfare worker, she said the department is severely understaffed and it is impacting their ability to serve those experiencing hunger or homelessness. she says when they were fully staffed and a family asked for food stamps, they would be approved in 24 to 48 hours, now they are seeing it take months. >> that is just not fair to the families, when a family needs food, they need it now, they cannot wait three months. >> reporter: this could end up putting more strain on the system, starting january 1st, the new law would require hsa to screen applicants for the adult assistance program for drug use. and require the applicant to get treatment in order to receive assistance. >> the city didn't tell us about this, they didn't consult with us, they didn't plan with us, we are not trained, we are not substance

6:42 am
recently , consumer and wholesale inflation reports have come in a bit above expectations, the fed wants to see that reverse course and start to see the inflation rate come down toward their 2% target. >> realistically, when can we expect the fed to start cutting rates? >> you could have been in the press conference yesterday because they asked jerome powell that question and he basically says it is data dependent, so what do we do, the fed anticipates that funds will come down by 0.75 percentage points by the end of the year, so a three quarter drop by the end of the year. investors believe there is a 60% chance the fed will begin that process at the june meeting. >> what is the fed's view of the economy? >> they released something called the.plotter, economic
6:43 am
projections, and officials anticipate that the economy should slow down this year, that unemployment will drift a bit higher, maybe it'll go to 4.1%, importantly, they believe the inflation rate will come down by another half of a percentage point by the end of the year. just to be clear, the fed's predictions are just that, they are best guesses, they are not guarantees, just human beings and they have been wrong in a lot of their short-term gases. so we will see where we end up, but that is what the fed believes as of yesterday. >> anything helps, thank you for more analysis, you can go to jail -- jillonmoney.com. student borrowers that hold public service jobs, president biden said he is keeping a promise to update a

6:47 am
is that cold front, it is specifically in the north bay. we will continue to watch that wipe its way into the south bay friday night, and early morning hours saturday we are still watching unsettled weather at this area of low pressure has plenty of moisture to ring out over us, but our friends in the sierra, too. that will last into sunday's forecast, potentially getting upgraded into a winter storm warning. just keeping that in mind, they will see plenty of snow up there, close to 20 inches. but back in the bay, that same system is going to give us less than one inch of rain. unless you live lower, the santa cruz mountains always get a little bit more, the higher elevation areas, they usually see higher amounts of rain. but back in the bay, it is still dry this afternoon, so take advantage of the day today. any prep before the rain moves in, but keep in mind,
6:48 am
