he's tried the last 30 minutes and he hasn't been able to move his vehicle. so now he's going with the manual labor. and this is why people have recommended caltrans to stay off the roads. do not drive because it is going to turn into an impossible driving condition. the last thing you want to happen is to be in a situation where you are stuck somewhere without food without water and potentially on the road. so just keep that in mind. as plan your day to day and the next few days going forward, as we know, we the seeing all this snow through the weekend. so this is just what's happening here in valley. we will keep you guys updated as the morning goes on for now, reporting live from the shell station here can when he got and that 13 news. >> just like to get ahead of the snow. so i think if people are thinking that coming up they should kick in. >> well, it was an oakland resident saying that visiting lake tahoe is not a good idea this weekend. the blizzard warning, as john smith saying is now in effect. and while the warning is slated to expire on sunday, don't forget it's going to take some time

police commission that comes up with a list of finalists that the mayor has to pick the next chief from or the mayor can reject the list altogether and ask the commission to come up with a new list of different candidates. mayor todd was already done that once already. now as more developing news, a 4th suspect has been charged with murder in the killing of oakland police officer to one lead. he was shot and killed in late december while responding to a burglary call near jack london square. now, sir brian russell joins march. sanders, marcus cooper in alan brown and being charged with la's murder. russell was originally charged with 3 counts of burglary and entered a not guilty plea. prosecutors believe it was sanders who pulled the trigger killing lay. alameda county supervisor pamela price said in part, quote, we will not stop until everyone who participated in his murder is held accountable, end quote. the 4 defendants are scheduled for preliminary hearing on monday, march 4th. the man accused of killing 7 people in half moon bay last year has pleaded not guilty. 66

>> 10, 12 is the time. let's get over to the weather center. we've got john with lots to talk about both here and open this year with the storm system john. yeah, really been focusing on the sierra nevada because that's understandably where the worst impact from the storm is good. as far as snow pack goes bad for anyone that is up there in. he's not ready to go because we are seeing white out conditions likely some power outages with these winds gusting 75 200 miles per hour. look at this gnarly view here

at diamond peak. it is just completely white out there in the distance and not even seeing snow accumulation on the deck and the porch is there because it's all just blowing off that snow going to be causing drifts and definitely not a situation. you want to be venturing into over the weekend. what we have as far as the next several hours ago. up in the sierra is some of our heaviest snowfall of this forecast. that includes over the next 24 hours. multiple fs a feet of snowfall piling up up there in those upper elevations. you see all that blue right up here. bay area, comparatively quiet, but only by comparison, as you can see, we do have pockets of heavy rain ourselves now increasing right there along highway 37 just north of san pablo bay. here's city of sonoma right up here. nevado highway. 37 here. watch your travels here. getting wet pretty quickly at that moment. also, some showers around fairfield and also right around san pablo. hercules also right now. now, as we work our way through the day today, this low pressure areas

coast mountains, lake and mendocino counties looking at 3 to 6 inches widespread for elevations above 1000 to 1500 feet. while it will be multiple feet of snowfall up in the sierra nevada. we under storm warnings for lake and mendocino counties in effect right now, whereas blizzard warnings in effect for the sierra. it's a pairing of the multiple feet of snow with those winds. 75 200 miles per hour. tree limbs down on roadways. power outages likely the situation you want to be messing with. i know it's rough if you didn't get rich funds on your hotel, reservations, just not something you want to be venturing into. better safe than sorry for sure. 40 to 50 miles per hour. wind gusts in the bay area. today we have our own wind advisories today through tomorrow morning. we also do have high surf advisories at the coastline, 15 to 20 mile or 20 foot waves breaking up and down the shoreline. as for temperatures today, looking at daytime highs in the upper 50's,

tomorrow's temperatures will barely make the low 50's as we see that colder air settling in. we'll also see some snowfall in our mountain tops right here in our own backyard and feet of snowfall in upper elevations. james. all right. thank you, john. 10 16 is the time and fire season may be on hold due to the winter weather. but firefighters are taking a break. >> at this point we have dennis shanahan showing us how first responders are preparing for what will be a warm summer ahead. >> 750 acres still structures threatened. you have power lines down like heard on all aircraft, the life safety. when a major wildfire breaks out in california in incident commander is putting charge going go directly to disentangle from a mobile command post at the back of a pickup there constantly receiving information there on brink. after years drive, you want get a chair making quick decisions. you know, the burning traffic go ahead and giving orders that are icy. >> resource ordered. this is how they train for it, right?

down here. 48 students from san diego to assist you hom and all counties for cal fire. cal fire battalion chief jeff loveless is leading this role playing training exercise in a sacramento parking lot. the students are all cal fire captains in battalion chief's ready to take on more responsibility. so this is to get them ready and prepared for these larger it when the fire season does come with evaluators watching and taking notes, the trainees have to perform a kind of high stakes juggling act. the exercise is designed to bombard them with multiple overlapping interruptions over 2 way radios air the by and in person. i that it's stressful for the role player in this but in real life, it's stressful for the incident. commander cal fire captain nathan meant and information officer scott mcclain are playing the role of local media with an assist from yours truly behind the camera. looking for an incident update. the trainees have to

practice prioritizing telling the media to wait the 20 seconds. 30 seconds, 2 inutes and all step over here and give you guys an actual sound bite. absolutely. thanks. thanks. or the exercise also requires them to eventually find the time to make a brief media statement. all right, ready. yeah, 250 acres, 800 acres 1000 acres. this is a rapidly expanding incident. be safe and get out quickly. then they have to practice breaking away to get back to their post. i need to get back managing this far doing that. i appreciate doug. i'm back to you guys a little later. thank you very much. other role players include a power company representative. the app are lines down a highly opinionated local fire chief coming to my town right now. i think these guys in the last thing your mind that need to look at exactly midnight want and the students practice being in unified command with the sheriff's department. in this case, placer county is participating. back for these are all situations incident commanders are likely to encounter at the scene of a large fire. what is your priorities, how to set it up? and that's what the student is

ultimately judged on and trained the well, a threat of wildfire is diminished in the winter. this training is one example of how cal fire's efforts to stay sharp and ready for fire season. never stop to successfully pass. this class a lot of effort is needed to maintain that high standard that cal fire with its employees and its company officers and chief officers. time now is 10 19 and governor gavin newsom is facing questions this morning after a new law contains a loophole that appears >> to favor someone who donated to his campaign. last year the governor signed a law increasing the minimum wage to $20 an hour for most fast food chains. but an exception was made for change that make bread and salad. now, bloomberg article this week suggests the exemption was made by newsom to benefit one of his donors. greg flynn, a bay area native who owns 24 panera bread franchises across the state. republicans in the state legislature are now demanding an immediate ethics investigation.

>> we've got complete ethical problem going on here where a billionaire business owner has put in a special exemption into a bill and we don't even know how it got in there in in the first place and then has made over $150,000 in campaign contributions to the governor. this is unacceptable that friends of the party in power get exemptions and that's not right. and if this is a bad law for one company, it's probably a bad law for every company. >> the assembly member who authored the law says he was not directly involved in the negotiations. he doesn't know why that exemption was included. he also says he wasn't aware of any relationship between newsom and flynn. >> i carried do. >> and i've become more aware i wasn't >> a spokesperson for newsom responded to the bloomberg article by issuing the statement you see on your screen. it reads, quote, the

governor never met with flynn about this bill. and this story is absurd. our legal team has reviewed and it appears panera is not exempt from the law. in the north bay. this law, the county sheriff's department now investigating a body found along interstate 80 in vallejo. the man's identity not released yet, but police say he was found near georgia street. the off-ramp there. investigators say the man appears to be in his mid 30's, but they would not offer any more details beyond that. san francisco has released new numbers about people cited for using drugs last year. so according to the report of the 718 individual cited only about half actually said they lived in the city 141 of those arrested are also receiving cash assistance from the county last year. police made more than 2000 arrests for drug sale or use in the tenderloin and seized upwards of 260 pounds of fentanyl. so far this year, police have made more than 350 arrests.

plunges deeper and deeper our direction. that means we get stormy here. likely a lot cooler. come tonight. tonight will start to see snow level dropping to 1000 to 1500 feet. and we'll start to see some snowfall in roan mountain tops right here in the bay area. james. all right, john, thank you. 10 31 the time and kron for your local election headquarters and the list of candidates to be san francisco's next. mayor. >> as potentially growing, we have sources telling us the board of supervisors president aaron peskin will officially enter the race sometime next week. proper is. michael thomas is in the newsroom following the story. michael, hi, good morning, everyone. >> that's right. no supervisor aaron peskin is not officially announced or launched his mayoral campaign. but sources tell kron 4 we could be seeing that official announcement as early as next week in this decision to really run is based in part on former san francisco mayor mark farrell decision to also joined the race and the idea behind that is that there's currently no progressive candidate in the race right now when it comes

to supervisor peskin, he's currently serving as the president of the san francisco board of supervisors and he's been on and off of the board since the early 2, thousands. however, it's currently set to run out when it comes to his term later this year. if he does officially joined the race, well, he could be joining incumbent mayor london breed along with supervisor ahsha safa e philanthropist, daniel lurie. and of course, former san francisco mayor and supervisor mark farrell, a poll that was done earlier back in february of by the san francisco chronicle showed that a majority of residents in san francisco actually don't improve with the way that mayor london breed is currently running the city. that poll included a total of 800 more than likely to vote voters with a 70% of them saying that they disapprove of the mayor's performance overall saying that they were not satisfied and disappointed with how the mayor has been handling public safety, homelessness, drug overdoses and housing affordability.

when the question of who residents are leaning towards for the mayor vote, former interim mayor mark farrell, as you see there on your screen, he actually got the highest percentage out of all of the candidates. however, 38% of residents either said none or that they were currently undecided. now, the last day to officially join the mayoral race is june 11. so as we get more word from supervisor peskin will continue to keep you updated lead this morning in the newsroom. i'm michael thomas. james, we'll send it back to you. okay, michael, thank you very much. >> kron 4 is highlighting the top candidates in san francisco's race for mayor and one of those contenders is a philanthropist and air to levi strauss for stephanie lin sat down with candidate daniel lurie who says san francisco has a broken city hall. >> i'm asked the votersl do you really believe that someone who has helped create this system is the right person to change that culture, to fix that broken system. >> could a political outsider

become san francisco's next mayor? it's the position daniel lurie hopes resonates with voters in a crowded race. and and the perception. >> lawlessness is an acceptable part of life in san francisco. i have committed my life to issues of poverty. i believe that i understand what is at stake. >> a san francisco native and heir to the levi strauss fortune lurie founded the antipoverty nonprofit tipping point in 2005 raising hundreds of millions of dollars to fight homelessness in the bay area. we need to build more affordable housing. we have to get people job training and employment skills. he also served as chairman of the super bowl, 50 host committee working with local officials to bring millions in tourism and business dollars to the bay area. if you are elected mayor, what's the first issue you recruiting and retaining a police force? we were down 700 police officers. >> it's going to take us some time. no question about that. but we've got to give them tools to do their job. then

we're going to be cleaning our streets. you're coming up off the overpasses. you come down 6 street. it's going be pristine. the first image of san francisco and our visitors and our travelers are tourists come here has got to be a city that is clean and safe and vibrant. >> as for the city's fight against chronic homelessness, we still haven't built enough shelter. pets. if you build enough shelter beds, which you could do in a matter of months. that you offer some a shelter bed. don't take it. that's their right. but is not there right then to stay on the street. lurie proposing a different strategy to stopping the city's revolving door of drug dealers. any first-time offenders must wear an ankle monitor. we can track people and once they are in. one of the climbers like the tenderloin or in soma. they would be subject to a search condition acknowledging electronic monitoring does not fall under the mayor's purview. you have the power of the this is not something you

the mayor just decrees and it happens and that's where my background comes that we need to send a message to everybody. but you don't come here to deal drugs to do drugs. you come here, you're going get the help that you need. but you cannot be on our streets. lurie promising a different approach to leading the city. one that starts, he says with accountability when something goes wrong in this city, it's going to be my fault. i'm it. take ownership. i'm tired of the finger-pointing. i think everybody else's as well in san francisco, stephanie lin kron, 4 news. >> 10. 36 the time in the east bay bay area. faith leaders gathered in support alameda county district attorney pamela price as she faces a recall attempt. the group says they like prices approach of holding people accountable for the crimes they commit. and she says she should be allowed to finish out her term. >> and we believe that have is giving hope. and the thought i put in for hope is just

helping other people even if they got in trouble, then united would come with a price that she is someone who stands for peace, stand for justice and want to right by our community. >> well, the organization behind the effort to oust price as they have already enough signatures needed to put the recall on the ballot. if those signatures are verified a recall election would take place next june. well, san jose police arrested 2 suspects now in connection with a homicide in december of last year. it was back in december where police were called to an incident on snow drive the report of a gun being fired. and then a short while later, 2 men arrived at the hospital suffering from gunshot wounds. one of the men died at the hospital. the second one survived. but following an investigation, police say they have now arrested joshua can a gray a san jose and michael battle of kilroy. both suspects have been book now into the santa clara county jail on charges of homicide. well, the

weather. you have this view of the diamond. pete just looks worse and worse as the moments go by snow picking up and winds picking up as well. we've already heard reports of winds around 100 miles per hour. >> at the very mountaintops up in the sierra nevada. this is your view at the daca diamond peak. normally a view out over the lake. just completely whiteout conditions up there. snowfall will become increasingly heavy for the remainder of the day tonight into tomorrow, making this the most significant storm of the season, at least so far up in the sierra nevada. as for what we have in the bay area, we saw some heavier showers rolling through marine wood. sandra fell on over towards the late homer. it mare island. but now exiting up into solano county. we will see pockets of heavy rain into the afternoon as this low drags in colder air, but also the jet stream and that sets up shop for an unsettled day with thunderstorm potential. and of course, the snow in the sierra. you do see a lot more orange and red on the map as we move into the afternoon. those are your heavy pockets of rain and with them embedded thunderstorms, 09:15pm,

tonight. looking at right around benicia some really heavy downpours right there. just as one example tonight into tomorrow. we will continue to see this unsettled forecast and notably tomorrow morning, the spots, the blue mountains east of san jose right here, mountains of napa, mendocino and lake counties seeing a %ot of snow fall on them. we will be seeing some snowfall as low as 1000 to 1500 feet in elevation tomorrow morning. rainfall totals for the bay area likely to be over and inc. the santa cruz mountains today, even 5 inches of rainfall. we'll more on top of that into next week, too. and for snowfall up in lake and mendocino counties, widespread 3 to 6 inches of snow. top about saint helene and maybe even as much as 9 inches. it will be feet of snowfall up in the sierra nevada, though, with 9 feet of snowfall likely on daughter summit as well as eco past these areas on the highway. 50 in i-80 going to become impassable as we make our way deeper into the system. winter

storm warning in effect for lake in inland mendocino counties and then a blizzard warning continues through the weekend up in the sierra as we do see winds in excess of 75 miles per hour. this doesn't just result in whiteout conditions for travelers, but for anyone that's hunker down up there, downed trees, downed power lines could result in many power outages. winds excessively windy for the bay to 40 to 50 miles per hour. gusts. not as much as our sierra neighbors, but it is enough for high wind advisories going into effect this morning and lasting through the weekend. now we are seeing high surf advisories as well. 15 to 20 foot waves up and down the coastline. these in effect, also through tomorrow. temperatures today upper 50's at or very warmest. tonight we get icy cold as that colder air moves in and that's when we'll start to see snow level dropping to that 1000 to 1500 talking and snow fall under hillsides right here in the bay tomorrow and sunday. some of our coldest days of the forecast barely making the low 50's james. all right, john,

thank you. 10 48 is the time in the south bay santa clara city council now has unanimously approved a new housing project along the great american amtrak station. >> latest development is a 21 floor. nearly 200 room condominium complex. this is all part of the city's re-imagining of the tasman east neighborhood right here at levi stadium where the city is hoping to at 4500 new homes over the next few years. well, 10, 48 the time. and if you just saw john's forecast, you know, this weekend is probably one. you're going want to stay inside. if you're looking to catch a movie. well, there's an epic new sci-fi movie in theaters right now. and dean richards takes a look. he he likes it. it's doing to. >> we've been fighting the americans for decades. why family has been fighting them for centuries in 2021. fans of the frank herbert's sci-fi novel dune. didn't know what to expect from the french canadian director denis

villeneuve. what we've got back then was a larger than life epic story of family power, love and fast forward to today and dune part 2 is bigger and bolder and even more epic than before. maybe 2 epic in some ways. >> it's a story about battling factions of nomads and royals of ancient and civil wars as young warrior who survived an attack that wiped out most of his family who ruled the desert planet seeks revenge. and that is the most bare bones explanation of what this movie is about. >> and believe me, there's almost nothing that is their bones about this movie. nothing fancy understand. the stories are multilayered and super complex based on the original novel without much left out, fans should be able to follow along. but if you're a newcomer to all of this, fully expect to get lost in

the names and places and mythology it's like they're speaking a foreign language. >> if you're not familiar with the book are you haven't seen part one. forget about it entirely. that said it's not completely impossible to follow along, although i had to see the movie twice in order to absorb what was being thrown at should you really have to see a movie more than to get what's going on. all of that said due in part to is one of the most visually beautiful movies that i've ever seen. incredible sand swept cinematography with overwhelming the original sites technologies and even creatures visually. it reminded me of the first time that i saw a star wars movie, the creativity here is stunning. but at the end of the day for me, it's always about story. >> and as best as i could decipher the formula for this one, is that good people and good intentions are battling evil for the world as they know what as impressive as the look of this efficiently may 2

and a half hour saga is the galaxy of superstars contained in it shined the brightest at the top of the list is the impressive timothee chalamet leading the pack is the reluctant young rebel sunday. a expands or presents here into a more powerful elvis star austin butler plays it deliciously evil with javier bardem, florence pugh, josh brolin. >> christopher walken day, but he each adding something special. so for now enjoy part 2. do your homework before you go. pay close attention and see it on as big of a screen is possible for maximum visual impact. i give it a dean's list a minus. we have a great weekend in chicago. i richard, it's >> thank you. dayne 10. 52 the >> thank you. dayne 10. 52 the time. and we'll be right back. you know that feeling of having to re-wash dishes

afternoon after sunset into the evening as see some of our heaviest of downpours here locally tomorrow morning. we do have snowfall that's going to fall in the mountains of northern sonoma and napa counties as well as lake and mendocino counties but can't ignore that 40 even 12 feet of snowfall. that will be seeing up in the sierra nevada over the next 24 hours here because without and those strong winds, i mentioned blizzard warnings will remain in effect as we make our way through the weekend. again, 75 plus mile per hour. wind gusts making roadways virtually impassable highway 50 as well as i-80. it's a no-go for both of these routes. winds excess of 50 miles per hour in the bay area. also making for high wind warnings ourselves. and if you were planning on getting out to the coastline, we also do have a high surf advisory. let's get to look. i know so much to was going to get the next few days and stay pretty wet through the weekend all the way to sunday. wow. do you think we're going to get snow low enough to get a dusting here in the bay area? yeah, i was lowest 1000 to 50
