12:19 pm
to be a buyer removed and it is positive in a way and we're all going to have adjust to not knowing what the commission is on the house. and if a seller is not willing to pay a commission, then we're going to have to talk to the wise about paying a commission. >> the federal court still has to approve that settlement. let's talk about our weather conditions now as we take a live look outside at san francisco. beautiful view of the city right there. let's check in now with kyla. >> hey there. yeah, we've got some nice sunshine out there, including here at half moon bay, where you can see it's just glorious blue skies out there. so still a very nice day to be had. but by the time we get into our evening, we will start to see the clouds thicken up and our pattern start to change. an indication that we've got some rain coming our way as we get over into the weekend, actually on friday by the afternoon for most of us. and then you can see some sierra snow will be part of the equation as well. so things are about to get a little active here. so lets get you through it on your thursday. you can see by this evening. this is about 06:45pm. we've got some clouds rolling in and maybe a little
12:20 pm
coastal drizzle, but it really isn't until tomorrow morning that we start to see the showers taking shape here. this is 11:30am. so i do think that we probably get where we're going in the morning before we start to see this kickoff by the afternoon. you can see it starts rolling through the bay area and this is our afternoon commute about 4.35 o'clock. so that's going to be the tough one. some of these cells have the potential to be thunderstorm cells as well. but friday and saturday, it's just a slight risk. but you do see some of these with the oranges and yellows indicating that we could see those really heavy downpours with some of these cells, name of the potential for a rogue cell or 2 to produce things like small hail. so it's going to be one of those systems. goes through sunday morning before it gets all wrapped up. now, all told we're looking out for about a half an inch to an inch of rain for most of us. but in areas that see some of those downpours that might be associated with thunderstorm cells, you could see higher totals. you could also see, you know, the potential for a little bit localized flooding as well. so just something to be aware of. the other component of this is going to be the wind. now today we get a little sea breeze in the afternoon, but
12:21 pm
tomorrow afternoon, we really start to get gusty to the tune of 20 to 25 miles per hour. this is the overnight friday into saturday. you can see again saturday afternoon that push of wind as that front starts to track across. so that means today want to make sure that we're doing things like getting those trashcan secured because by tomorrow afternoon, we could see them take a little trip unnecessarily that you weren't planning when those gusts get going up to 2025 miles per hour. so just make sure that you're ready for it. i do think that we'll see most of get through this until the afternoon tomorrow before it starts to pick up. but once it does, it will be some rain will be some wind and the potential for a few heavy downpours. notice by the time we get to saturday, check out the highs here in the 50's. so we'll see those temperatures really pull back sunday. still looking like will be the better day of the 2. i think the morning we'll have a little bit of carry over from that rain. but by the afternoon, we should be looking. good back to all right. thank you. the u.s. department of justice filed an
12:22 pm
antitrust lawsuit against apple alleging it has an illegal monopoly over smartphones in the u.s.. >> the lawsuit was filed this morning in federal court in new jersey. it claims that apple has monopoly power in the smartphone market and uses its control over the iphone to quote, engage in a broad sustained in a legal course of conduct. apple says the lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law adding a lawsuit targets the very technology it uses to make sure all of its products work seamlessly together. this is just the latest example of the justice department's approach to enforcing federal antitrust laws. the agency also filed lawsuits against google and amazon accusing them of using tactics to hinder competition. >> i'm trevor shirley in washington. the congressional countdown clock continues. as lawmakers do what they can to try to avoid a partial government shutdown set for tomorrow midnight. i've got the latest details coming up just ahead. plus, the first in nearly patients going viral online. we take a look at what

12:33 pm
safety. the latest crime report from your police department shows robberies in your city went up. 32 1% compared to the same time last year. >> meantime, burglaries went down nearly 50%. so what would you say is behind these numbers? >> yeah, absolutely. you know, it's a multitude of different things. as you know, we're working closely with chp. i want to thank the governor and our state representatives for really partnering with us on that. so what we're seeing is that there is a trend of overall city crimes trending downward. of course, there's so much more work to be done, but it is a part of our cease-fire strategy that and we have re implemented and resurrected where there's multiple organization working together closely, including the district attorneys office probation sheriff's department. chp, you know, the fbi, dea. and so we're all coming together to implement a strategic response. that's according to the data so that we know that we're going after the right people. and it's a small group of people that were hyper focus on. okay.
12:34 pm
>> so of course, the latest data also showing that the robbery numbers have gone up. how specifically is the city planning to address that? absolutely, you know. >> the robberies again, not just here in the city of oakland, but across the bay area. we are working closely together to really hone inton, you know, the small groups and gangs who are actually behind this. you know, we want is just make sure that people stay vigilant. you know, if you're at a stop, light, stop sign or what have you, you stay vigilant. but at the same time, we do have leads that i cannot discuss here on air but we're working closely with other organizations to hone in on those who are committing robberies and burglaries. okay. >> now taco bell announced just last week they are closing their dining spaces and at least 2 locations in oakland over safety concerns. and they do join a growing list of restaurants that are closing their dining rooms. how do you respond to concerns that crime is hurting business in oakland? >> again, this is not just oakland issue, right? it's a
12:35 pm
nationwide issue to state issue. it's a bay area issue. but at the same time, we also know that, you know, more than 50 restaurants are opening up here in the downtown area. i think that it takes a collective effort, you of course, having crime and people feeling unsafe and not being able to go into the dining areas of certain fast food chains. that's disheartening. but i do want make sure that we also understand on the other side of it, that many of our small mom and pop restaurants and owners that their venues are open. their dining rooms are open and we are working closely with them to ensure that that people when they are attending and eating and dining out that they feel safe. >> let's turn now to the search warrant police chief. you have the list for several weeks now. how close are you to a decision on this next? chief? >> you know, i'm going to let you know that i am hyper focus is my number one priority. with that being said, i have to do my due diligence. do a

12:37 pm
all the other public strategy personnel, including the fire chief chief covington, the department of violence prevention chief chief tolley joshi, including myself and justin johnson, who is the city administrator. it is equally as important to get a good chief who also can work in collaboration on a team so that we can move forward in a way are being data driven and that we can actually curb crime in a not just in a surface level way, but in a very impactful way. and so i'm excited for the possibilities of the future for the city of oakland. >> okay. great. so it sounds like a pretty confident you'll come out with a final from this list of finalists. >> i know you're pushing that agenda, but you're going to have to weigh not will making announcement. whether i throw back the list or whether i pick somebody off that list. all right. all right. so what kind of timeline are you looking at now to get a new chief into office? you know, again, i'm going moving expeditiously. but at the same time, i'm going to take my due

covered roads, et cetera, and some wind gusting up to about 45 miles per hour as well. so future cast here we go through today. no problem friday. here is about friday, about 5.30. you start to see this all take shape and then some very heavy snow starting to come down friday night into saturday. so it's really going to be an event over a couple of days here. this is saturday morning. and then we get into the afternoon and evening and again, you see it just kind of keeps cranking. in fact, this is wanting to be an interesting event because we're going to get this one, which is the big push that we have a couple little smallerr things to roll through next week. so again, looking at for some those higher totals, likely a little just to the south of lake tahoe up at the peaks, but all told this is going to be a pretty significant system and notice cold enough to get a little snow going here, too. and some of those northern california peaks. so today, a beautiful day. see people out here. this is right now down to peak where they're having lunch, enjoying themselves. but in the distance, you see a little bit of that snow. we're going to be adding to that as we work our way through the weekend. so if you are headed up to tahoe, you're going want to get up there as early as you can on friday because by
12:42 pm
the time we get to about 5 o'clock, it's going to be very difficult going. notice those temperatures dropping as we get into saturday highs only in the in the 30's. same story on your sunday bringing it back to the bay. we're having a beautiful day here. so take a live look from the east bay news. berkeley is an example where the places that we're going to see those temperatures drop off as we get into the weekend. so enjoy the day today. get ready for some rain tomorrow. i'll track that for you in just a bit. when i come back with your seven-day forecast. all right. thank you. >> coming up, the warriors are in the stretch. drive for the playoffs in need every win they can get. we have the highlights from last night's match plus, we continue to honor women's history month on kron 4 this afternoon. we need a woman in the south bay who dedicated her life

12:46 pm
mastectomies and i had to search what? >> my options. after winning a battle crawford set to work helping others face down that demon devoting her life to guiding people through the early often confusing days of a cancer diagnosis. he is the most passionate. >> advocate for best work we would not be here or doing the things that we can do. if it weren't for her heart. don hoak is executive director of cancer care point. >> she has lost count of how many people, crawford he's touched throughout the years. she's a blessing. jenny maggot lost her husband and daughter to cancer. she recruited crawford into hospice of the valley. back in 1978, what are you most grateful about with her? her ability to sense. >> what's going on? not only with the patients because she
12:47 pm
was a patient or but also what was going with families that's her involvement. cancer care point in creed, kids. >> craig, is kids has helped 20,000 families with children who have cancer once a year. the group holds a mother's day event. >> a great america. they come from all over california. some in nevada they look at it as a picnic they can being with other kids, not in the hospital. >> plaques. newspaper clippings and other mementos tell the story of crawford's 50 year career as a cancer fighter volunteering with more than a half a dozen other programs in an advocate for volunteerism. all my life. crawford also had a hand in creating a state cancer registry, which collects invaluable research data that can be used to save lives. nothing has stopped or not. a second cancer diagnosis back in 2004 and certainly not her

12:49 pm
tomorrow is going to be very different story. we're going to start off, ok, but then the rain moves in. so the longer walk with the pup tomorrow, you're going want to get that in early because once we hit that afternoon, showers are going to be rolling across the bay area's. let's time that out for you and show you today. we stay dry. you see some low clouds moving in tonight and maybe a little coastal drizzle in the overnight. but tomorrow morning, this is about 8.45. so that first walk as i was mentioning or if it's going to your commute, you'll probably do ok. but by the time we hit about 11:00am we're going to start to see some of this rolling through the north bay and work its way through the bay area here. some taking it out of 2.30, 5 o'clock rush hour. i think that's going to be very difficult. we're also going to have wind associated with this. you can see it rolls through friday night in parts of the south bay and east bay. and some of these could be thunderstorm cells, which means very heavy downpours and even the potential. a little bit of small hail with this. it goes through again on saturday. so you see it's very scattered and very widespread as we work our way through saturday and then into the first part of sunday before finally will
12:50 pm
start to let up. now all together, we're looking at about a half an inch to an inch of rain around the bay area. but those spots that hit some of those thunderstorm cells could certainly get higher totals very quickly. we're also have a little wind out there so that gusty wind will start friday afternoon. it will be a southerly flow before the front and a westerly flow after the front. so today's the day to secure rnything that might blow around in case you're wondering, takes about 3 miles per hour wind to blow a leaf around about 28 miles per hour blow your trash can around. takes a whole lot more to blow human around. and certainly, you know, 90 mile per hour wind which are going to see none of that to blow a car around. but we are going to have that gusty wind as we get into tomorrow afternoon. there it is as it starts to ramp up and it will stick with us through the weekend. so just be ready for that temperature wise. we're going to see things cool down. big time. we go from friday into saturday. another thing to be ready for and you can see a little bit of an active start to our week next week. so all things changing from our beautiful sunshine and above average temperatures. all right.
