thank you for joining us this morning. today is tuesday, april 2nd. >> let's get it started. >> just an ambush. basically. that's pretty much it. it was that quick. it's san francisco and so kind of immune to it at this point. >> caught on camera. stunned shoppers and store employees watch another brazen retail theft in broad daylight in san francisco. how do we hold these people accountable? we talk to city leaders. first bombs start -- we knew what was going on immediately. >> we remember a veteran who witnessed one of the worst attacks in our country's history. i believe the city should not back down. and that the a's don't want to work with them, then they need to leave. >> pushing a little hard i think. i think they need to negotiate something that's a little more agreeable. >> a difference of opinion from fans. would you like the a's

to stick around in oakland until they move to vegas? a potential deal being discussed today. and did you forget your powerball ticket? don't stress. the jackpot is still up for grabs. and good morning to all of you. i'm nicole zaloumis for a second there i thought that reed or gianna or even annie mac won the powerball. but no there's still hope max darrow. thank you for stepping in this morning. >> i'm max darrow and reed and gianna are off this morning and a great start to the day with you and all you at home. >> we have a voice issue on this show. i don't know if it's hay fever or a little -- that's going around here. >> a little something something. but -- hopefully i cannot be the next one to come down with whatever it might be. >> keep your distance max. i won't infect you i promise. outside on this lovely tuesday morning. looking pretty good right now from our view from the salesforce tower oh what a wonderful shot of the bay area here on this tuesday morning. the lights are shining bright throughout the bay area. and into the east bay and jess

burch joining us now. is it going to stale beautiful like that shot. >> that voice issue that you guys were just talking about i think that's the allergies. the pollen count is really high today and tomorrow. we're in the medium to high category and widespread throughout the bay area. as high pressure sitting just offshore, this is allowing for dry and mild weather. but of course dry conditions usually means that pollen is easily floating around the communities and it's been pretty breezy recently too here in the bay area allowing for the pollen to really whip up. there's going to be some changes in the forecast in the next couple of days and let's start off the rain chances heading into the afternoon hours today. it stays dry similar vend tomorrow but we will have more clouds in the forecast for wednesday's setup. not until thursday where we actually get the next splash of showers as a cold front sweeps in from offshore. giving u.s. just a little bit of rain and then cooler weather behind it. heading into our weekend forecast. like i mentioned for now we're still staying dry.

and taking a look at our whole season of rainfall so far on average, we're well above average in areas like santa rosa and stretching all the way into san francisco and down into the south bay too. still working on the east bay. splash not only the coast but the inland areas too on thursday. lots of changes heading into this workweek's forecast right around the corner. temperatures are going to drop more. today still 70s near concord and 60s into the areas of san francisco. all the way over into oakland and more 70s down into redwood city once again and i'll have moreen that coming up in just a bit. for now -- actually over to nicole. how are roads looking out there this morning? all right, thank you, jess. why don't we take a live look outside on this morning and east bay. this is westbound 92 from hayward over to foster city. and it's looking clear going in both directions. no major buildup just yet. thankfully. over to the bay bridge now, metering lights are off. and as they typically turn

on around 5:35 every morning. not too bad as for now to start out of the day for all of you early commuters making your way in. and we'll check back in throughout this tuesday morning as many as you head back to work after that long and beautiful holiday weekend. max? time now for a look at this morning's top stories. santa clara county nurses are hitting the picket lines this morning demanding the county address working conditions and safety issues. looking live from san jose this morning, the strike will start in little more than an hour from now. it's going to last for three days. the union representing the nurses say it's hoping to reach an agreement with the county on better pay, better staffing, and more resources for workers. the hospitals say they will conduct emergency and essential services through the strike. napa county police are investigating a shooting outside a safeway in american canyon. three people were hurt last night and are now recovering in the hospital. it happened near the safeway at dan rose and american canyon road about 5:30 in the evening. video at the scene shows a car with a bullet hole through the

window. police have brought two people in for questioning as they try and figure out what happened. taking a live look now at the state capitol this morning. where later today, the senate's public safety committee is holding a special hearing on the safer california plan. the plan aims to curb the fentanyl crisis, retail theft, and other crimes in california communities. those bills have recently been getting more bipartisan support across the state. today marks one week since the deadly bridge collapse in baltimore. crews continue to work around the clock to remove the wreckage and reopen one of the country's busiest ports. we saw some progress made yesterday as officials opened up a temporary channel allowing vessels to pass through for the first time since the bridge collapsed. nicole? well, max, we have new video of a dramatic cliffside rescue in marin county. the sonoma sheriff sent a helicopter to save this man here who was clinging to the rocks after falling 50 to 60 feet from a trail. the call

came in around 7:40 last night and this took place near the battery alexander trail on the golden gate national recreation area. sheriff's deputies used a long line to lower themselves from the helicopter to rescue the man. >> don't let go man. don't let go. okay? don't let go. find your left hand in here. brother. there you go. >> southern marin fire says except for some minor scrapes and bruises, the man is expected to be okay. and in san francisco, one of our producers caught a group of thieves ransacking a wail greens on camera. as juliette goodrich reports, the recording didn't stop them. >> reporter: on easter sunday, this brazen group grabbing what they pleased. wearing hoodies and carrying bags and backpacks they went up and down the aisles. stealing merchandise. there's a security camera inside the store. and a kpix

employee was taking this video but this group didn't seem to care. >> and it was just like an ambush. basically. that's pretty much it. it was that quick. >> reporter: our producer who took this video didn't want to be identified but describes what happened. >> took me about three seconds to pull my phone out and started videoing and filming and they just had no -- no care at all. so. >> reporter: were you concerned even standing in their way? taking video. >> no. i mean, i'm still -- i mean, it's san francisco. i'm still kind of immune to it at this point. >> reporter: what was the reaction of the employees during and after. >> they did nothing. basically. they just -- i think they -- they're also probably immune to it. again it's that area. it's market and civic center and i think they're used to smash and grabs in that area. especially the walgreens and cvss. so there's -- you know, i think they're taught not to do anything. >> reporter: sal is a vendor and goes into this walgreens' store and others weekly. >> think they it's a free all. you can grab and go as you please. >> reporter: have you been

working in the store when that's happened. >> i see it often. >> reporter: when i walked in this particular walgreens, there's a video camera. there's a security guard today. is that not enough? >> no. it's never enough. >> reporter: we showed san francisco board of supervisor matt dorsey this video. he lives just a few blocks away from the walgreens and shops there. he points to san francisco's police staffing crisis. >> if we had a fully staffed police department, we could have a robbery unit that was doing more enforcement around places where retail theft plays out. holding more people accountable. and doing more to go after the fencing operations and, you know, the -- the kinds of operations that make this lucrative. >> reporter: how did you feel when it was happening and then after when you had the video? >> i was in shock. angry. you know. because i -- i live in san francisco. and you know, this is -- you hear about this stuff and you see it happening all the time. >> well, the city has tried a number of strategies to fight

organized retail crime like carrying out blitz operations to arrest shoplifters at stores that are constantly hit. lauren ? >> reporter: a high-stakes meeting today between oakland and the a's to determine the team's future here at the coliseum. new details on a potential extension coming up. thank you. plus seizing the spotlight. college basketball sensation caitlin clark has done it again. sending iowa to the final four with a stellar performance. the road to the women's national championship game. and why don't we step outside for what is going to be another beautiful day here in the bay area? this is our view from the salesforce tower cam and hopefully you enjoyed yesterday. it's going to

fielding errors as the red sox won 9--0. again tonight at 6:40. more going on with the a's. mainly what's going on with their las vegas move. nicole, many questions still up in the air and the a's and the city of oakland are still working out if they going to extend their lease before the team makes it official in las vegas. these are the renderings on your screen you are about to see of that new $1.5 billion ballpark. there it is at the site of the tropicana casino resort. the a's already made some headway into investing in the new park like hiring the same company the raiders used to oversee ticket sales and suite sales. they're hoping to have the park ready for baseball by the 2028 season. as for the tropicana, the future of it, they've come to terms with the whole a's move. the hotel is closing its doors for good this afternoon and eventually be demolished to make way for the 30,000 seat stadium. >> until 2028, where will the

a's play? there's a more immediate question. oakland's lease ends after this season with the coliseum. the a's already met officials to extend the lease, but no deals have formally been announced yet. another meeting is set for today. and our lauren toms is live outside the oakland coliseum and we are already hearing that there's a proposed extension, good morning to you, lauren. >> reporter: yeah. good morning nicole. that's right. and a's fans are torn about the departure of the beloved team finally becoming a reality. but $97 million. that's a number we're talking about for the a's to stay here at the coliseum over the next five years. but the team reportedly has an opt out option after three years if their new stadium, their stadium in las vegas is done in time. it's a steep increase from the reported $1.5 million a year the team has been paying to play here in oakland. increase some fans say is too much.

>> it's pushing a little hard i think. i think they need to negotiate something that's a little more agreeable. >> reporter: now the team is also rumored to be in talks with salt lake city and sacramento for the interment expansion following this 2024 season. but some fans and any move could be too far to hold on to their own tickets and million ticks of course is of course at play here as well. oakland mayor sheng thao faces a recall vote in a significant city deficit that first of alls are trying to dam fen with the agreement but today a's fans will be waiting for the answer today on the future of their beloved team. nicole. >> all right, thank you so much, lauren. check back in with you later. max, i don't know if i told you this but born here in oakland and i know you are from the bay area. we were longtime season ticketholders. this is painful for me to see the a's as hi kind of transition. i have already divorced the team as we stopped having season tickets a few year ago but for the fans

that are still there i want to see them stay in oakland to see it through. >> end the chapter at least on a somewhat graceful note but you know talking to a lot of fans grew up here as well and so many of them they gist -- feel like they want to just move on at this point. and i think elongating it to 2028, that could be a -- tough pill for some to swallow. just elongating what has been kind of a painful chapter for a lot of longtime a's fans. >> do you think if they go to sacramento maybe or one of other proposed places it would be better. >> it's tough. i think if they stay in oakland, it would probably be better for the team. it would be great for a place like sacramento to be able to take on the a's for a little bit. but i feel like -- it's just -- it's a catch-22. there's no great outcome until they eventually do move on. >> yeah you feel for the fans and you feel for the players as well. imagine being drafted to this team right now. for continuing coverage on the a's and their potential move to vegas, stay with us on air and

on our website. kpix.com and streaming on our cbs news bay area app. a live look right now from sutro tower on this tuesday morning. the lights of san francisco are shining bright. jess jessica burch a beautiful day here but if uplook across the country folks aren't as lucky. severe storms are sweeping through this week and this week we're seeing everything from tornadoes to snow all across the country. now over to jess. you have that to show us this morning. >> absolutely. you know, a lot of people were hoping to get in the swing of spring kind of like us here in the bay but it looks like winter in many parts of the u.s. in oklahoma weather officials issued widespread severe weather warnings as baseball sized hail fell over their heads. now folks over in illinois, they actually saw their fair share of bad weather yesterday as well. strong winds and heavy rain whipped

throughout that state as people braced for the possibility of hail and tornadoes too. when we look at the bay area weather in the grand scheme of things because we have our own little cold front moving its way in for us this week, gosh, we are so fortunate to live where we do. i will say this though. we just talked about it earlier. that cough that everyone has been getting recently. and allergies still full in swing. well, right now we're in the medium to high category throughout the forecast today, tomorrow, lasting into this weekend. widespread throughout the bay area as that pollen count stays high so just keep that in mind. if you are noticing a little bit of scratchiness and need to take it extra slow and drink more water and pop a claritin. and of course stay inside when possible. now today it's going to be mostly sunny in our inland areas and cloudy along the coast. we see that bay area fog kind of fill its way in tomorrow. to add to that we're also going to see the high clouds sweep throughout the bay area as we head into our wednesday forecast. gearing up for a cold front moving in for thursday setup. now this is an interesting cold front. it's going to bring in snow to the sierra first and get the whiplash of rain heading into thursday afternoon that's

going to bring in a series of possibilities of showers that are a little bit heavier at times and that continues to swirl its way in from offshore heading into thursday evening and keeping a close eye on that because that could bring in just some lasting little bit of showers into our friday forecast for the padres versus giants. luckily it starts to clear up into the saturday forecast. with another chance of showers heading into sunday. but let me drop that and let's take it a step back. talked about the daytime highs earlier but it's worth noting that this is still very similar for our forecast -- compared to our forecast yesterday and the day before in our inland areas but a lot cooler along the coast. cooler today in areas like san francisco and half-moon bay and still in the upper 70s near antioch into the afternoon and low 70s into redwood city. stretching all the way over into fremont and a similar trend for the friends into the santa clara valley. enjoy this warm day while we have it. and here's the reason why i say that. because once we head into the rest of this week, that cold front moving in and it brings in low 50s. so from upper 70s to lower 0s, within

the matter of only what? about two days, that's the forecast for us this week. your closet is really going to be in full force. want the umbrellas and coats and jackets and this weekend more sunny skies but still the temperatures in the low 60s until early next week. nicole? let's check in on the supercommuters. to the altamont pass and a normal hotspot with slow pockets seen here with 20-mile-per-hour speeds. this is for those of you coming in from tracy heading over to livermore or even outer stretches of the bay. you are looking at a 48 minute drive from 205 over to 680. and we're seeing minor accident over in pittsburg on eastbound highway 4. a bit slow as drivers cruise on by and chp has not reported any injuries or lane closures at this time. women's college hoops saw some of the best players go head-to-head last night. iowa and lsu clashed in a rematch of

the 2023 championship game. but in the end, it was caitlin clark and the hawkeyes who got to cut the net and move on to the final four. the future number one pick in the wnba draft had a huge night to lead her team to the win. clark almost grabbed the triple/double on the night. 41 points and 12 assists and seven rebounds. she also tied a tournament record with nine made threes. iowa beat the defending champs 94-87 to advance to their second straight final four. paige buckers and the uconn huskies took on the trojans for a spot in the final four. usc standout freshman guard continued her historic season scoring 29 points. but it wasn't enough. this one came down to the wire with paige hitting a clutch three giving her 29 points on the night. the huskies went on to win it 80-73 booking the record 23rd final four appearance. so the women's final four is set. both games

tip off on friday afternoon. first up we've got south carolina facing nc state at 4:00, followed by iowa and uconn at 6:30. the winners, they will play for the national championship on sunday. nicole? the men's final four is also set. both of those games will take place on saturday and uconn to face alabama and nc state against purdue. the national championship game is set for next monday. so max, why don't we check again how the brackets are doing? you can see some of our crews' scores on the screen here. darrell the guru johnson is leading the scoreboard. max, look at you. >> doing all right. >> doing all right? sitting in second like the boss that you are. okay. and gianna franco she's hanging up near the top with all her sports experience. currently tied for third place. way to go g. you can see me. a few notches below that. a score of 112 and our reed cowan, how did this happen? such a fall from grace for reed. better luck next year. he is now second to last. >> it's funny. these can be

deceptive standings though nicole. i only have one team left. if uconn wins. >> true. okay. >> i can maybe tie for first. though -- it would be second. no, it would be rough. [ laughter ] so -- >> rough, are you kidding? look at reed and i. >> such a hot start. >> we're an embarrassment. how much time in your bracket though? >> not a ton. honestly this was the first year i didn't overthink it and just did my research on each game and picked it and moved on. set it and forget it and moved on. >> you did actual research. >> a little bit. >> it's good. i like to just check in with people on what the bracketology is. mine was very emotional and jessica's is very funny. you know, she was just kind of going through and didn't know what seeds were at this point. yes, sir has blossomed this spring. during march madness. >> good to see how much she has grown in that category here. for me, march madness, it's like my favorite sporting event of the entire year. so. >> very nice. congratulations on your second seed. >> thank you. liz cook looks

like she will probably beat me out though. she wins every year. >> killing it. >> every year. >> got the secret. gleam talk to her later too. time now 5:23 on this tuesday morning. the three month wellness streak for the top prize continues winless --

helped my allergies but enjoyed soaking in all the sunshine. >> ooh, i don't think that would have helped my allergies at least. that's for sure. it has been crazy with that pollen count really high recently. we'll dive more into that in just a bit with your first alert forecast but let's start off with this morning taking a look at what we're waking up to this morning. still in the upper 40s and lower 50s throughout the bay area. mostly clear conditions near san francisco and a little bit of coastal fog this morning and here's a weather headlines. dry and mild start to the day today lasting into this afternoon very similar to yesterday. but more clouds start rolling in as we head into the wednesday forecast gearing up for showers returning on thursday and that's a cold front moving in on thursday's forecast by the way. leaving us with a lot cooler weather on the back end of it but today is still dry and today is still warm and many of our inland areas we're actually going to be hitting the 70s today in areas like santa rosa and petaluma. stretching all the way over into napa and vallejo too. i'll show you more of that coming up in just a bit. i'm going to drop that again and we'll continue to talk about what's

happening throughout this afternoon though. because it's going to be a gorgeous day to get out there and really take advantage of any outdoor activity whether it's the kids' sports, whether it's heading out to the park. now here's the thing. the clouds, they're going to stick around for us as we head into our wednesday forecast. not only along our coast but in our inland areas. and at that point we're really gearing up for that cold front that's going to bring in a series of showers lasting all throughout thursday afternoon. and i'm going to time that one out for you because that same storm is also bringing in snow to the sierra too. talk about that snowfall and all about the rain that's to come too coming up in just a bit. over to you, nicole. it's beautiful outside and a beautiful start on the day with roads this morning. as we look at our bay area road maps a live look at 880. our east bay commuters seeing no delays or major hiccups going through oakland at this hour. over on the golden gate bridge, it's also in the green. we've seen very few cars making the drive from marin over to san francisco. so overall a simple commute this tuesday morning. no need to rush out the door just yet. we'll keep you

updated throughout the next few hours if we notice any major traffic alerts. time now for a look at this morning's top stories. the rainbow flag that flies over our san francisco castro district could soon be registered as a landmark. let's give you a live look at city hall where today supervisors will vote on whether or not to pass a new resolution to grant the flag a historical status. if passed a landmark designation report would be submitted to the historic preservation commission for consideration. gay rights activists gilbert baker created the flag in 1978 as a symbol for the lgbt community. the flag was simplified to six colors for easier reproduction. each stripe represents a value including life, spirit and healing and now sits at harvey milk plaza. another rare case of bird flu in a human has been found in texas. the cdc and health officials say they're monitoring the situation and that the person who has it worked on the farm in the state having direct contact with a

immediately. >> reporter: 9 #-year-old lou conter doesn't need a news role to know what happened at pearl harbor. he was right in the middle of it. >> we only lasted, you know, nine minutes. >> here's the actual bombing of the mighty uss arizona. >> and we took that bomb down on the star board side forward by number two tourette and went through five decks into the lower handling room of the forward magazines and it flew up the forward magazines. that's where you see the blast. >> reporter: 1,177 men died that morning on the arizona and of the 335 survivors, only five are left. [ applause ] he was given a grand sendoff to the 75th anniversary ceremony in hawaii but he is not traveling alone. along with his family, he's also taking the ashes of

another arizona survivor. clinton het trick who died this year at the age of 92. >> five of us left and there's three of us that are going to be buried on the ship with our ashes. >> reporter: and that he says will be his tribute to the men he considers heros. >> they call us the heroes. we're not the heroes, the heroes are still there and we got married and came home and got married and had children and grandchildren. great grandchildren. and -- so -- we're just lucky. >> he went on to serve in three wars flying 200 missions as a pilot and was even shot down twice. he also trained pilots on how to survive if they were ever shot down in enemy territory. he was 102 years old. throughout the years, medical has expanded for low income californians but the state is also dropping thousands of people each month due to a pause during covid. kenny choi shows us how a nonprofit here in san francisco is trying to protect those who

to pay a fee to bring their pets on to flights however. and if you feel like your dog just gets you, that may actually be true. to a degree at least. researchers in hungary analyzed canine brain waves and found dogs can match words to objects just like humans do. then the owners held up either the matching object or different one and while eeg measured the dog's brain activity. similar to what human brains do. and i don't know about you nicole, but i people like -- my dog riley, she's a golden retriever and she's the best. just gets me. she does. she just can pick up on things that i'm doing and how i feel but also certain words and actions she just associates. >> yeah. it is our best friend right? i think simon our cameraman right now is shaking his head. going back to the flight information about the dog i was actually on flight on

sunday. the couple in front of me had a black lab. they bought the dog its own seat. it's a big dog and so think about it. if you were in the middle seat with the family or on the window seat and there's a black lab in front of you. it's the right thing to do. >> absolutely. >> a chihuahua a little bit different and can go under the seat. but for a dog that size i think it's great they're able to fly with their owners. but i think you know, there's some level of making sure that you are looking at the other passengers that maybe don't want the furry friend next to them. >> makes perfect sense. voice cloning is here. ready or not. i think i need it right now, max. openai's new voice engine can recreate a human voice nearly perfectly from just a 15 second sample. it cab used for translations or to help people who have lost the ability to speak but because of potential misuse, openai saysit's not being released to the public for now. >> i can see the value in the

[ laughter ] >> don't need to go down that road. >> we definitely need the ai version of me today. and the voice cloning. i mean, just to get the words out. and then you know the quality of the voice. not that great. >> words are hard sometimes. all right, let's go to the recent storms in the sierra because they have brought in a decent amount of snow. jess, it's time once again to measure that snow pack. absolutely. and you know, governor newsom is actually going to go up with the california department of water resources to the phillips station this morning to conduct their fourth snow survey of the season. and this one is pretty crucial. here's the reason why. normally this is the typical -- this is typical -- this is typically excuse me the peak of the seasonal snow pack but behind me you can see when march's survey was actually done, it was a little early this time. and to avoid the upcoming -- they ended up doing it early to avoid the upcoming storms but luckily the storms

have now passed and they're going to redo it again this morning at 10:00 a.m. let's take a look at the past one we saw. it was actually pretty impressive in certain pockets of the sierra the more north we went the more impressive the storms were. the more south we went still below average all the way down closer to mammoth but we're going to keep a close eye on the sierra snow pack. impacts us and the reservoirs in the state and a beautiful season ahead of us. if we have that extra water and of course all that extra snow to go skiing in too. now here's what it's looking like for us here back here in the bay throughout the next couple of days. today and storm still staying dry. today is a gorgeous day. 70s in the inland areas and sunshine. and more clouds blanket the bay area into the wednesday forecast and really what's happening is we're gearing up for a cold front that's going to drop our temperatures down into the upper 40s and lower 50s for our daytime highs into thursday's forecast. here's that area of low pressure bringing in all that cool air. that's going to bring in more snow to the sierra too. sheathier going to do that count today and get

more snow this week. to add to that we're going to get our splash of showers and moderate pockets of rain at times too heading into thursday afternoon. so there's a lot of changes in the forecast right around the corner for us but as we take a look at the conditions today, still nice and mild. very similar to easter sunday for that example. 70s in the inland areas and it's a little bit cooler along the coast today. i will say this. we have a little bit more on the onshore flow so gustier conditions along the coastline and low 60s for the daytime highs near san francisco and half-moon bay. bodega bay another good example too. just anottay clear and we're just hitting 70s in the forecast. get rid of the upper 70s and replace it with like i said upper 40s and lower 50s heading into our thursday forecast once that cold front moves its way in. it will be cool and it will be wet and it will be windy at times. and then we're starting to dry up as we head into our

weekend forecast with mostly sunny skies as soon as saturday and it willtake a bit longer though to warm back up in the 70s. nicole? all right, how about this? metering lights are now on over at the bay bridge. and we begin to see a bit of a build up. clustering just after the toll plaza. we can see more of how many cars are making their way into san francisco at the top of the tower. and we're seeing more commuters heading westbound as over on the right side going east. just a few cars making their way to the east bay. in saratoga, emergency repairs still in effect causing a lane closure on california state route 9. no word on when this will reopen. let's take a live look at oakland airport. sfo says they have a big issue with the airport's potential name change to san francisco oakland bay international airport. the oakland airport says changing their name could boost more direct flights to the airport but the leadership at sfo says the new name is just going to make travelers confused. >> our concern is that you
