5:00 pm
bay area peaks. here's a look at flurries coming down on top of mount diablo and look at conditions in the santa cruz mountains. the chp sharing these photos of snow covered highway 35. you can see tire tracks through all the slushy snow and the chp is reminding drivers to take it slow in this kind of weather. we showed you the sights. now here of the sounds from this storm. we also saw hail in many places this afternoon in addition to the snow. this is video from concord and we may not be out of the woods yet. first alert meteorologist darren peck is tracking the chances of thunderstorms in our future. >> we're still in the woods. you can see when we look at first alert doppler. the showers, in fact, a little cluster of showers that would have a better chance to deliver some more thunderstorms, there's a cluster right here about to come onshore as we look at first alert doppler. you see plenty of lightning on the east side of the state. as
5:01 pm
we stop on the last frame, there's a little complex of heavier rain about to move over the peninsula, get towards the santa clara valley and work over the east bay. potential would be in there for a stray strike of lightning, maybe some more small hail. if we put it into futurecast, we see this pattern holds pretty steady the next few hours. really i would say between like now and about 10:00 or so might be one of the more likely time frames to see kind of a greater number of the isolated thunderstorms if we'll see them. the showers continue on again, off again into tomorrow and as we put this into the kind of longer range play, we're looking at friday now, friday going into the afternoon, scattered showers, hit and miss. we don't clear this until 8:00, 9:00 tomorrow night when the last little line of showers finally moves out of here. you know the drill on this the way we've said it so many times with systems like this is in this time frame there's going to be way more time that you're not getting rained on than when you are,
5:02 pm
but every once in a while one of these showers you maybe get an isolated thunderstorm. update on the storm prediction center's map for the most likely areas to see thunderstorms tomorrow, on friday, includes the south bay and just to show you perspective, most of the energy from that system will move south and for rainfall totals from now through the end of friday those will vary pretty widely. we can pick up anywhere from a quarter inch to a half ■ inch of rain. we will talk about the low elevation snow and 80-degree temperatures after a day like today. can you believe there are 80-degree numbers in the forecast? i'll show you those in a bit. back to you. the other big story today, a live look at the oakland colorado come coliseum where the a's are playing their final season. the news was announced from the major league stadium that the
5:03 pm
team will now call home. >> we're excited to be here the next three years playing in this beautiful ballpark, but also being able to be able to watch some of the greatest players in baseball, whether they be athletics players or aaron judge and others. >> let's take a quick look back at how we got to this point. fisher bought the team along with co-owner lew wolff in 2005. he first attempted to move the team to the south bay and that years long effort ended in 2015 when the u.s. supreme court rejected fisher's claim that major league baseball illegally blocked the move. then it was a failed attempt to build a new ballpark near laney college in oakland. in 2017 that effort was blocked by the college board amid concerns from students and faculty. when that proposal failed, fisher then turns his attention to a new proposed ballpark at howard terminal in west oakland, but the a's faced stiff opposition
5:04 pm
from some community members and they were never really able to reach an agreement with the city over how much taxpayers would shell out for infrastructure costs related to the stadium. now as a new ballpark in oakland grew increasingly unlikely, the team announced it was exploring the potential move to vegas back in november and the other mlb owners officially approved the relocation plan. the new stadium won't be ready until at least 2018 while the lease of the coliseum expires after this season. now the a's have been exploring several different options for a temporary home, but they settled on sutter health park in sacramento. reporter jake gatton explains how this deal came together. >> reporter: it's a historic day here at sutter health park for the city of west sacramento as kings owner vivek ranadive and a's owner jon fisher coming together to form a partnership for the next three years as the a's will play here in sutter health park
5:05 pm
thanks to an "easy" negotiation that went fast and quick between both sides. the breakdown of the deal is the a's play here for three years with option for a fourth year no, details on the amount that will be paid. there is also no guarantees by the a's or the mlb that an expansion team will come here after the a's leave for vegas. commissioner rob manfred did tell vivek ranadive that the league wants to add two more teams on the east and west coast and this could be a great west coast location. the reason the a's picked sac was due to an already built-in a's fan base and a good fan base for baseball in the capital region as well as the personal relationship between fisher and vivek because as vivek put it, he wants sacramento sports fans to have an option every day of the year to go to a sporting event here in the capital city. >> when i bought the kings over ten years ago, i said that sacramento would never play second fiddle to any other city
5:06 pm
in the world. >> reporter: updates will be needed here at sutter health park to get it up to mlb stadium standards. that includes a new and updated clubhouse for the home and away teams as well as a new video board. those announcements will happen sometime this summer. >> while there is excitement this evening in sacramento, reality is finally setting in for die hard fans holding out hope for a last minute deal to keep the a's from leaving. devin fehely joins me now. you spoke to those fans about how they're feeling today. it's heartbreaking. >> a's fans as they say are in their feelings today, hurt and heartbreak, disappointment and anger, all that kind of mixed together today, and they're straddling that thin line between their love of the team and, frankly, their hatred for what ownership has done. >> people are upset, disappointed, angry. >> reporter: breaking up is
5:07 pm
never easy. ask bryan johanson, owner of the last dive bar, whose love for the a's is more than skin deep. >> for one, this is permanent, never coming off. >> reporter: bryan knew the end was coming, like many a's fans. the team has had a wandering eye a while having sent its sights on las vegas, but the a's flirtation with sacramento fans stay stings more than they could have imagined. >> it's devastating. >> reporter: christopher dobbins is founder and president of save oakland sports. he said the a's were the last to receive the town and have always been the first in his heart. >> the a's have been here since '68, my whole lifetime, and it's very, very sad. i was really torn up this morning. >> reporter: for chris and bryan, the truth is it hurts because they care because they remember the good times before bad blood poisoned the relationship between the team and its fans, before divorce, however heartbreaking, seemed like the only real option.
5:08 pm
>> we'll be investing our time in organizations and franchises that reciprocate the love this fan base has shown. there's the roots and soul. so there's going to be stuff to fill the void even to help it's not going to be able to fully fill the void altogether. >> reporter: there is the pesky problem what to do with this season. the a's, the city, and their fans all attached to the hip for one long, lingering super awkward good-bye. >> most a's fans are pretty obsessed about their fandom and, you know, as the weeks go on, we'll figure out what we're going to do collectively as a fan base. >> neither bryan nor chris said they would never ever go to another a's game in season. season tickets. bryan said he'll going in some capacity, but they both draw the line at vegas. >> it feels like a bad breakup,
5:09 pm
like this tumultuous relationship has gone on for years, there's still some love there, but in the end it's over. >> i think the fact that they're leaving, but not only leaving, leaving early and they've got a new relationship with somebody just in sacramento. >> they made the announcement. dagger to the heart. >> absolutely. >> thank you. in a statement oakland mayor sheng thao said, "we wish the a's the best and will continue our conversations with them on facilitating the sale of their share of the coliseum site. the city of oakland will now focus on advancing redevelopment efforts at the coliseum." tonight at 6:00 we'll have much more reaction to the move and some of the challenges for a major league baseball team playing in a minor league ballpark. today legal fallout from last year's deadly mass shooting in half moon bay, the san francisco chronicle reports a survivor and the family of a victim have filed a lawsuit against the owner of one of the mushroom farms that became the
5:10 pm
site of the shooting rampage. that farm is california terra gar dan. last july seven people were killed at two farms. plaintiffs alleged the owner didn't do enough to secure the location or to respond to violent outbursts. in san francisco a woman and dog were rescued after a fire broke out at a home in the sunset district. it happened this morning on 44th avenue. crews used a ladder to get them out of the building. the home has major damage, but luckily, no one was hurt, no word on the cause of the fire. san jose is getting fresh funding for a transitional housing program. the new housing center in san jose is getting $1 million from the federal government to more than double the number of beds at the facility, as well as add a community center and laundry room. >> this approach, these quick
5:11 pm
build interim communities of which the city already has six and now we're looking to expand work. they are effective. they help stabilize people, get them connected to case management and supportive services and get on to something better. >> mayor matt mahan says of the 1,500 homeless people already served, more than half have found permanent housing. in the west bay the race for congress officially ended with a tie for second place. local election officials certified the results today. the final count for district 16 shows evan low and joe simitian both coming in with 30,249 votes. former san jose mayor sam liccardo is in first place. it's up to the candidates to decide to request a recount. otherwise there will be a three-way race in november. for his part, evan low released a
5:12 pm
statement saying he's honored to have advanced to the general election and joe simitian calling the race a cliff hanger and says he's also looking forward to november. still ahead, a pair of south bay men now accused of selling drugs through the dark web, how police stumbled onto the scheme. a record breaking crime in los angeles, investigation into the theft of tens of millions of dollars from a money storage facility. the biden administration is once again calling on israel to provide concrete plans to protect civilians in gaza. i'm skyler henry at the white house with the latest from the war and the growing humanitarian crisis.

it's being called one of the largest cash heists in l.a. history. law enforcement officials say as much as $30 million was stolen from a san fernando valley money storage facility. it happened the night
5:15 pm
of easter sunday. burglars gained access to the building and entered the vault and according to the l.a. times, the previous cash heist in the city happened in 1987. this is just some of what police found,
5:16 pm
hundreds of >> what started out as a traffic stop in san jose became an investigation that unraveled what was happening on the dark web. >> joshua gordon was caught at the traffic stop and jonathan corel jr., his accused partner in crime. the investigation was headed up by detectives from the sjpd's department. the ski season not done yet. snow is still falling in the sierra now. photojournalist dave grasshoff speaking with those hitting the slopes. >> reporter: here we are in april and yet another sierra snowstorm. what a great year for skiers at sugar bowl. this father, son, and friend are reunited and spending time on

5:18 pm
downed trees. let's get back to our weather a little closer to home here, meteorologist darren peck in for paul today. darren, we aren't done with this yet. >> there's about another day to go with this system. the snow we were looking at there was from saratoga gap. if you've ever driven skyline boulevard, it's higher than highway 17. we had some flurries there, didn't stick on the road, but at saratoga gap, that's about 500 feet higher. it's pretty impressive video. i've got some more. we're going to concord. this is from early afternoon, not snow but hail, small pea-sized hail. you've got to look real close, but you can see some of it coming down. a lot of times this conclude confusing, especially if people aren't used to seeing it. we didn't get major accumulations, but verification of hail. here the national weather service shared some from their office today.
5:19 pm
of course, they're in monterey. let's go to first alert doppler. there's another chance for more of this to come in, specifically down along the peninsula. on the big picture view the reason why we'll be in this for at least the next day, look at this system as a whole. see the counterclockwise spin pretty much right over us. the water vapor depicts these things with so much more clarity. you can see we're in the middle like a bull's eye to be in the center of the area of low pressure. normally there's a little more instability when you find yourself in the center of these things. watch the rotation. we'll take it from right now. you see a little spin. there's a little uptick in activity as we get right under the center. that would be for tonight. then we get into tomorrow and we're really just looking at the stragglers. it's going to be a lot less active tomorrow actually. there's going to be a lot more blue sky tomorrow. we'll always have a chance because this thing will sit around. there will be rain on
5:20 pm
friday. it's just a lot more scattered and fewer and farther between. here's the current situation on first alert doppler. i mentioned there was a good little batch of this stuff about to come onshore for the peninsula. look at that band of heavy rain. here's the peninsula, see san mateo, santa cruz. watch the last hour. there's that line progressing into the hills. you can already see some of the purple splotches showing up along skyline boulevard. that's where the radar is able to read this stuff turning back over to snow, snow level probably about 2,000 feet now. it's going to be more interesting when this stuff works over the mountains. let's put that into futurecast. we'll watch what we've seen already. this is the next couple hours where we see some of those cells come overhead. this is why i've said between now and 10:00 tonight this five-hour window has the potential to be some of the more active in terms of the
5:21 pm
chance for isolated thunderstorms. then tomorrow it does look different. there's a lot more breaks here. that gets us to tomorrow, late morning. when we put it into the longer range to see what friday looks like, there's a lot of openings on here. giants are playing their opening day game tomorrow. i stopped it at 1:00 because you can see it's fairly quiet. there's more blue sky tomorrow than anything else, but there's always going to be that possibility, whether it's during a three-hour window of the game at oracle tomorrow or whatever part of the bay you're in to have a stray shower move in, drop rain fast and get out. it wouldn't last long. we can't take the chance out. the better bet for thunderstorms tomorrow is to our south. we won't be in the best area of dynamics tomorrow, but we still have a chance. rainfall totals now through the ends of friday go up to maybe a half inch of rain for the bay in general before this is all said and done with. then we'll get a break. there's no rain saturday. there might be a stray shower on sunday, but it doesn't look too super
5:22 pm
impressive and it wouldn't last long should we get it. the only thing about saturday and sunday is we don't really start the big warm-up yet. daytime highs for the weekend are still in the low to mid-60s with a few clouds. if you want the warm-up, you've got to wait till the middle of next week, some of the warmest days yet this season very much right around the corner. i'll see you with more later. >> thank you, darren. up next, bay area protesters blocked the entrance of one of the world's biggest aerospace companies. we'll show you the moment when things start to get ugly. and san francisco ci

a knife pulled and angry words exchanged was the tense scene this morning during a protest over gaza that took
5:25 pm
place at a lockheed martin research facility in sunnyvale. >> somebody's going to die. i'm telling you right now somebody's going to die. >> this video provided by protesters shows a man who appears to be a lockheed martin employee drives his car towards a line of protesters who are blocking the entrance. when the driver got out of his car, a shouting match follows with the driver brandishing a knife. the demonstrators say they took this action to protest lockheed martin's work supplying israel with fighter jets. a lockheed martin spokesperson said in a statement that the company respects the right to peaceful protests and it will investigate any employees' violations of its code of ethics and business conduct. in the meantime the situation in the middle east is changing rapidly. the u.s. may be on the verge of changing some of its support for israel following the airstrikes on aid workers that killed seven. skyler henry has more details from the white

5:27 pm
