numbers of people get together and prime conditions share a lot utensils, food, et cetera, apart from being very uncomfortable. fortunately, norovirus dozen results in a lot of people dying doesn't have a high mortality rate. >> that cruise ship a left last night. it's now headed for hawaii. >> 9, and the forty-niners are headed for the super bowl there in vegas and ready to roll just a few days away now from the big game and one of the big questions besides who's going to win is who's going to have a breakout game just a moment takes a look. >> good morning here from a very windy and cold las vegas. we got port on earlier this morning with the rain has stopped and the question today seems to be which team is going to win that lombardi trophy. but also people really want to know which player is going to take home that ali title of super bowl mvp. there are 2 names at the top of the list on the chiefs side. it's

patrick mahomes, but for the niners its christian mccaffrey and we will start with patrick mahomes because he has done this before. he has already won. not one but 2 super bowl mvps, including last year when the chiefs beat the philadelphia eagles. this one could be even sweeter for the 28 year-old. the chief said have such an up and down season, not the same dominant swear are used to seeing from them. the homes, though, peaking at just the right time for touchdowns and 718 yards passing in the post. so he's an early candidate. but no one can ignore the amazing season that run cmc has had in the bay. mccaffrey has had a streak of 17 straight games with a touchdown. 14 scores this season with 1459 yards on the ground. so mccaffrey has now looking to follow in his father, ed's footsteps and try and win a super think i've seen running backs are in the playoffs that the most valuable players on their team

seen running backs in the playoffs that are extremely talented and have a lot of value this is such a team sport. you know, it's the biggest team game on the planet. to to say that. it's because of one player that the team wins. the super bowl is just not true. i don't think that's ever been sure. i want to maximize opportunities. i know that. >> they don't. they always come in be in every single super bowl. and so what i would have whenever i'm here, i enjoy it. i enjoy the week and i just try to go out there with the best football like i said a little bit earlier, make a memory that will last forever with a lot of guys that worked really hard. >> so today that both teams practice and then they have a media availability, it will be the last time that we hear from them as they start to shut things down seclude themselves at lake las vegas. that's that resort. they're staying out about 40 minutes away from here. and then the next time we see them will be here at allegiant stadium for super bowl sunday.

>> well, that was just in waltman and make sure to tune in sunday for our big super bowl morning show. starting at 07:00am til 10 live reports from vegas in from watch parties around the bay. 9.11, is the time. and speaking of watch parties still ahead, san francisco's mission district is getting ready for niner fans to come out and watch the super bowl. we're going hear how some of those businesses are preparing. >> and we continue to follow the latest on fire. do come. police chief leronne armstrong's lawsuit against the city of oakland and the back. we're going to have the mayor's response.

>> i'm 14 is a time right now. it is sunny but cold out there, which is the way we like it. absolutely better. that's wet and cold. i guess we've got john in the weather center. hey, john. yeah, definitely rather just because for sure, especially after these past few days, we've earned some dry days ahead of us today. just a slim chance of a couple afternoon. sprinkles. >> as you can see this morning, it is just nice and bright looking out from mount tam skies will stay for the most part, pretty sunny today as this low pressure area works its way out with the low on the outs. high pressure ridge will start to build in today's a day of transition between day cool air stacked up across the region is going to keep temperatures jacket or the even into the afternoon and just don't want you to be surprised by that chance of an isolated and brief shower later on today. for the most part, staying really light, not amounting to anything to cancel any plans for friday, saturday and sunday will be particularly nice as that high pressure. ridge begins to build in. it's going to contribute to some dry skies and increasingly warm

temperatures eventually back in the low 60's. today's rainfall literally just trace amounts. nothing much out there. the sierra. we'll see a touch more snowfall. the start the weekend tomorrow as much as a foot at our highest of elevations. we still do have a winter weather advisory south of yosemite national park. those of all expired for the lake tahoe region, though, as for our sierra snow pack, a huge improvement from where we had been. we're at 83% of average now for the northern sierra as we were looking ahead of this month, we were really hoping to see that snow. and we certainly have been up in those higher elevations. so some really good news for our water impact. temperatures in the mid 50's today, redwood city. you're going to be one of our tpwarmer spots getting up to 57 degrees for super bowl sunday in vegas. if you are heading out that way, don't forget the layers because the kickoff time it's only going to be low 50's in vegas and by halftime. some 40's for the bay area will be comparatively warm about 10 degrees warmer. in

fact, low 60's for those backyard barbecues at game time doesn't sound so bad at all, right. all right, john, thank you for that. still busy out there on our roadways and highways, especially in the 9 o'clock hour. >> east bay, you're seeing traffic along. 85 88, 80 in the south bay. if you're traveling there, 101 to 80. 85 87 traffic is still been building since the early morning hours. bay bridge right now about 20 minutes. no accidents on our bridges this morning, 7, 2 bridge about 17 down from 25 minutes. a little progress. not much a little bit. 54 minutes down from 65. in his last time we checked in 85 to menlo park, talented animal pete 41 minute ride darya. james, back to you. thank you very much, >> time now to talk winners and losers on wall street with financial expert rob black. joining us this morning where the markets are a bit mixed. nothing too dramatic. but what are you seeing? >> yeah, up 500 player that really big number of five-thousand wall kind of gets financial media excited

when that happens. i'm bo-ed by disney stock is up 9% helping out day chip designer arm holdings see designs make doctors got a lot of intellectual property for them. they're up over 30%. there are a hot ipo last year and they're they're performing good signs for all things. technology in bay area because they're saying their forecast for semiconductors or a boss. that's nice to say, james. yeah. well, you say disney stock is up. i see here. what's this headline does nice next to content, wales, fortnight and >> the one and only taylor swift. what's going on here? yeah, i think it disney is just snagged a large portion of young women 135 and they just snagged a people play video games, which include my kids. so they get a big investment epic games, which is the owner of fortnight stu. the game is lost a little luster as they've been fighting with apple for a couple years. but it's still pretty big and think of th-t as them getting star wars or marvel. you can start seeing

fortnight movies are searching for 9 tv shows. so it's a nice step for the pass of the game before night. gamers who are watching tv, disney needs of its people. i'm on top of that. taylor swift is pretty obvious. the and the era's tour was monster movie. she is wholesome. she's kind of the disney brand and she made one of biggest movies last year. so it makes sense to bring it to disney. plus, disney also announced the movie is going to be coming out this november. that will be the biggest hit this year. they not 7 and half billion dollars in savings. plus their earnings are going at 20%. so things are looking pretty disney these days and notice talk theme parks notice. i didn't talk, you know, disney plus their right mind. it areas but not much. yeah, that's pretty incredible. and i guess with the upcoming super bowl, everybody's watching for that. >> and watching for the halftime show, looking for commercials, i guess or what did i hear this right? 7 million dollars for a 30nd spot in the super bowl. that's insane. soon as $233,330 per

second >> 14 million for a whole minute. but that kershaw that the biggest commercial is gone. it's free. it's 12 minutes of the half time show its larger stage in the world. we had a last year. she stopped halfway through 7 foot powder. her face. and google searches for white powder shoes using realizes fenty. we're going contacts those 5 seconds, putting powder on her face generated 5.6 million dollars and brand growth 12 to the next. 12 hours. you can tell that that's a huge win. now, who else is this benefit for michael jackson? 1993? started with getting into 180 countries. many of them are boat. many of them would never be able to pay to see him in concert. so he kind of got us going on. it u he's ready begin the whole different game itself. the so time it's kind of turned around. then people in on a to buy in austin 3 years later because they

didn't think they can live up to michael jackson the right then you 2 did it and they double. sells for 3 of their but their albums, doctor, traina got into the top 10 for the first time in 10 years. back in 2022. yeah, bruno mars. he was wise. he sold tickets worldwide in turn actually day after super bowl show. and of course, prince is my favorite. and i don't think he really benefit much it was cool. reigning in miami is going to say was in the rain. yeah. i remember that have time for brain drain. that was iconic. yeah. well and usher. the performer this halftime show is no dummy. he's dropping a new album tomorrow in advance of the super bowl. so i'm sure he's going to play for those hits and i'm sure. >> album sales are going go through the roof as a result. you're right. that that. you know, 12 minutes. that's huge when it comes to an artist marketing for free, you said, you yeah, i want to say i didn't know before the super bowl, but i wasn't a big last year best concert. i went to his in washington, d.c., to see bruno mars by 2 boys in my

life would never have known about it without the super bowl. so it really opens up an international platform. all thanks to michael jackson. before that, they had pretty lousy entertainment and marching bands. >> and, you know, like hollywood celebrities, they had ice skating thing in minnesota one year. so people to now. and then got upset by that because they go over to fox to watch. you know, halftime show that the competitor was putting on and not necessarily that i interesting. fascinating. >> and then lastly, real quickly, a few seconds left, but i'll bet you we see a super bowl ad for coke's new flavor. spiced raspberry. it's a permanent flavor which is bizarre. how i don't know. i'm i'm kind old-fashioned coca-cola guy once in a while, >> could cause a dividend stock there around little boy. they've been in many super bowl commercials and had the polar bears drinking coca-cola right? their iconic as an investment. great short, boring. not going to outperform but not going underperform. didn't stop.

state is issuing 5 consumer alerts directed at renters and landlords and included in these alerts reminders that under california law rent cannot go up by more than 10% each year and renters cannot be evicted without a court order. the alert also say landlords are responsible for repairing health and safety issues in the rental unit and they must return security deposits within 21 days and provide accommodations for renters with disabilities. across california, 17 million people rent their homes. well, happening tomorrow, san francisco is getting a first of its kind indoor charging station for tv's. >> electrify america is set to open this new location in the soma district. it's an all-new kind of car charging on the go instead of having to sit your car or find some place else to go to kill time. this charging

space will offer a lounge will be free wi-fi and restrooms there for ev owners. the president of electrify america says the station is also equipped with really fast chargers. all of our stations here are capable of 350 kilowatts charging. >> so that means you get roughly about 20 miles a minute. so in 10 minutes of charging, you can get 200 miles of range back in 20 minutes to get 400 miles of range back. >> yeah, the indoor charging station will be open. 24 7 starting tomorrow. all right. coming up next on the kron, 4 morning news. the niners hitting the practice field in vegas for the first time this week and it feels good, doesn't it? mister nick can't be back with more with the

meanwhile, the chiefs are over at the raiders indoor practice facility, but they were out basking in the sun and getting the job done. kyle shanahan said it wasn't worth it to him to change the team's practice schedule in order to move over to the raiders practice facility. i asked a couple of the players what they're still hoping to accomplish this week with a couple more practice days left before the super bowl. here's what they had to say. >> we put a game plan and last week before we got here. so put a little bit more in this morning. so it just kind of this crews get ready for sunday. >> you can always get out is something. i'm glad the playoffs. we have a really big into the body someone like we know we can pursue in play hard like the defense have. you know, we had a a few lapses and pursued an effort on some peso this weekend. president biden trying to make it a point to get to the ball. everybody like out 11 on the field just trying to get to the ballroom floor. you know, i just played we played kind of let off and down a little bit his postseason co. we haven't been living up. no. so i stand and what we built that what i what people expect of us and we expect of myself. so

chp for that big game. they closed several freeway off ramps in the mission unity and the police limited traffic along mission in valencia. we don't know if they're going to do that again for the super bowl, but it is likely because, for example, on valencia street, there is a place called the chapel and they're young. hosting a huge watch party for super bowl sunday this sunday. so they just want to make sure that it's a fun atmosphere and safe. >> it's going is going to go down but that we win or we lose. so i think was the fire i think was he's celebrating think we see a lot action. >> the mission district businesses are hoping that everybody does the same as a good time. don't trash the don't want that and be sure to join us the morning of the super bowl starting at 7 o'clock. we have a special morning show. >> all about the big game. we're going to be live in. vegas will be live at various watch parties around the bay will have some in studio guests to with some tips on how you can make your super bowl spread that much more amazing for your guests. again, all starts. 7 o'clock.

and last till 10 right here on kron 4 sunday morning. all right. we're going continue following the big that we brought you yesterday morning here on the kron 4 morning, news about fired oakland police chief leronne armstrong suing the city of oakland now suing the mayor's welsh and, you claims wrongful termination. and this lawsuit comes about a year after he was fired. let's take a closer look at the issue. >> fired oakland police chief leronne armstrong has sued the city of oakland, mayor sheng thao. >> saying his termination was retaliation for speaking out against federal monitor. robert warshaw who oversees the oakland police department. his termination really had nothing to do with whether he did anything wrong with as a chief. bernie actually come in any misconduct. he was actually terminated just because you have the courage to point out the monitor was leveling unfair criticisms. >> that opd and leadership. the lawsuit claims newly elected mayor sheng thao. >> was intimidated by were shaw and bowed to his pressure
