but a flood watch is on the horizon. the national weather service issuing the watch for the bay area and central coast. this weekend. that flood watch is set to go into effect saturday evening through monday morning, and crews in the north bay are taking extra precautions , bracing for another round of rain. ktvu tom vacar joins us live now from sonoma county with the preparations underway there, tom, this could be what could become a model for the nation. >> a says public safety road shut off. in what could be called a preemptive action. sonoma county is closing at least five highly flood prone roads ahead of the atmospheric river on sunday and monday. >> we've never done this before, sonoma county infrastructure director johannes hoevertsz says 12 hour closures will start 7 p.m. sunday until 7 a.m. monday. >> busy slusser road between river road and mark west creek will be closed. this will deny

river road community is a direct road to sonoma county airport, forcing them to use highway 101. we have seen an uptake and the aggressiveness of the motor is when it comes to flood roads. mark west station road from trenton, healdsburg road to star road will be closed and is already partially flooded. star road will also be closed with its over flooding just a few inches away. trenton healdsburg road will be closed up to east side road, which already has proven deadly in floods. >> they're choosing to go and drive over flooded roads, which exposes them to risk and when they get stuck in the, you know, on flooded road, then we have to have, uh, first responders have to respond to that event. and it's a life threatening event. >> it was in january of 2023 when a 43 year old woman here on healdsburg trenton road, actually was swept into the vineyard over there where she called for help but ultimately

drown. >> once you get to a point where the water reaches the bottom of your car, your vehicle is pretty much going to flood. i most likely turned off. >> and it's not just the flowing water, but all manner of debris, including large trees that threaten the stranded and the firstrillionesponders alike. >> there's trees, there's debris, there's all kinds of things that you know that go in the on the water, that could hit a first responder or the drivers themselves. >> again, the county may choose to add to that number of preemptive safety roads. or if mother nature simply commands it. reporting live from slusser road in sonoma county, tom vacar , ktvu fox two news. >> tom, you've been in that community all day. can you tell us about some of the creek or river levels that you've seen already after that first storm this week? >> well, we have seen, for example, the russian river, there's an area which generally

floods, but it's an area on the other side. right. what you're looking at is slusser road and that bridge right there, that's mark west creek underneath there. that's pretty much about as full as it can get, uh, with maybe a foot or two to go. so that's at risk on the other side, trent road is under water because the overflow in that part of the russian river has gotten into the fields there. and that's true generally throughout here. the creeks are high. they could go higher whether or not they go to flood stage. we don't know. but the roads that they have picked out, no question about it. these are commonly flooded roads. and you got to remember with sea level rise, it's the backup is stronger against emptying. and that keeps it going more often and longer. yeah >> that community on high alert this weekend tom vacar live in sonoma county. tom thank you. >> a live look now at the partly cloudy skies along highway four as we brace for the next round of rain. this is looking out towards bay point meteorologist rosemary oroczo joining us now with more on what we can expect

is saving lives. the problem, according to the sfmta, is that drivers at red lights are looking for cars, not pedestrians. >> if you imagine you're driving up into an intersection and you are looking over your left shoulder to see if it's clear to turn and merge into that right hand lane, you may not see the pedestrian that has started walking across the street in the crosswalk to your right. >> many drivers already waiting at red lights say the plan would just make getting around town even more difficult than it already is. >> that's horrible. the traffic is so crazy already. parking is crazy. everything is so crazy in here. frustrating. yes >> it's ridiculous. that's why i don't drive out here. >> jody medeiros from walk san francisco, a pedestrian advocacy group, supports the plan and says changing policy would save lives and have minimal impact on drivers. it's seconds more. >> it's not really that long. so

when it comes to saving, possibly your neighbor, uh, it's definitely somebody's mother or grandmother or grandfather. either that you'll be saving and just asking for a little bit more patience. >> the sfmta is hoping to open the idea for public hearings this spring. if the city adopts the plan, it wouldn't be the first. new york already has a ban in place, and washington, d.c. will have a ban on red light turns next year in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox two news coming up in the next half hour, the series of affordable housing projects spearheaded by vta is expanding details on the latest development and later base operations teams prepping for those headed to the slopes this weekend. >> we're live with the conditions in the sierra and how this latest weather system could impact the snow. >> the first strikes launched against syria and iraq as the us retaliates for the deaths of american troops killed by iran backed forces jor not just any whiteboard... ...katie porter's whiteboard is one way she's: [news anchor] ...often seen grilling top executives of banks, big pharma, even top administration officials.

>> because when you think about it, we don't have any historically black colleges on the west coast. they're all pretty much in the south and on the east coast. and how do we start to bridge that gap? how do we bring more of that experience to san francisco? we do so by looking at a long terme opportunity. >> as for the short terme starting this summer, 28 students from hbcus will take in-person summer courses here in san francisco and some san francisco based universities have agreed to step in to help. those 28 students will live in the dorms at the university of san francisco. san francisco state will lend classroom space, and ucsf will offer those students some paid internships and mentoring and training so they can get experience and still cover their expenses while they live here. now that longer tum goal of creating those satellite hbcu campuses is just that a long time goal. there's no timeline yet on when that could become a reality here in the city. in san francisco, ali

rasmus, ktvu, fox two news, some california lawmakers want the state to do more to eliminate certain degrees as a requirement for government jobs. >> this comes as the vacancy rate for state jobs is rising. before the pandemic, it stood at just under 15. it is now at 20, according to the state's human resources department. east bay assembly member rebecca bauer-kahan has proposed a bill that would reduce the emphasis on college degrees and high school diplomas for state hiring. that bill died in the assembly appropriations committee. many city and county governments are facing even higher vacancy rates. according to a report by the berkeley labor center, san francisco's human resources department says the city faces an unpaid hiring crisis. the city has changed the requirements for 267 out of 915 job classifications over the past ten years, a strong january jobs report, with the economy adding 353,000 jobs, the strongest in a year. the unemployment rate holding at

3.7, wages also outpaced expectations. fox's edward lawrence breaks down the numbers the administration boasting about the report saying this is bidenomics the last time the economy created more than 353,000 jobs was a year ago. >> january 2023. this adds fuel to the fact that the federal reserve might not cut rates in march. now you have to be careful with these numbers because this marks a yearly re benching. so these numbers may be a little skewed in this report. does not carry as much weight as others. still, this is why the labor department has the issue here. listen, this 353 headline number just underscores the point i made about the wild seasonal adjustments for the month of june. >> jury. again, when we flip the calendar from december to january, the economy loses 3.2 million jobs as all those holiday workers disappear here. and the ability of the bls to measure that with any fine point is ridiculous. and i think this number will be revised lower.

>> you can see the trends, though, in this report. for example, government hiring again one of the top four sectors of job growth over the past three months. government. has hired an average of 40,300 people per month. now, career firm challenger gray and christmas found planned layoffs jumped 136% from december and january. marked the lowest planned hiring for companies since 2009, when the measure began. we've seen layoff announcements from a number of companies. the reason a forecasted economic slowdown and increased costs from inflation. we've seen layoffs, announcements from a number of different companies amazon, google, macy's, blackrock and more. is 2024 are going to start this wave of layoffs. >> but having a good job makes all the difference in the world. and so that is why, you know, the jobs report that crushed expectations is something that we are happy about. and is a sign that we should keep on going. >> and we'll have to see exactly how much of an effect the announced layoffs have in the

next jobs report. next month at the white house, edward lawrence fox business. >> a fresh round of snow headed for the sierra. coming up, a live look at the conditions in tahoe. >> and across the bay area, we're awaiting the next big storm. i'll have a look at the timeline and what you can expect fo your neighborhood. coming

start to roll in. let's bring in meteorologist rosemary oroczo. rosemary feels like the storm never really left. if it did, it was just a short time. what's the timing of this next one here? >> yes. still lingering. right, greg? a lot of folks enjoying or, you know, dealing with the scattered showers today. the next storm is going to move in. right now. it looks like the brunt of it late saturday night into sunday. between now and then, we just expect to have on and off light rain giving you a live look here at storm tracker two, where that's exactly what you see coming off the pacific. there and over areas of the bay area, as well as most of california and in the sierra, the snow continues rouz with thunderstorms reported. over the sierra foothills. you may have seen some of that lightning. the strikes are going on. so this next system once again tapping into the atmospheric river. we do expect this storm. to be just

as strong as the last one, but we are already very saturated, which could add, of course, the dangerous conditions out there. here's a look at saturday night, 10:00. it's already breezy out there, but take note of the shades of reds and purples that begin to pop up into the overnight hours. there's a look at 5 a.m, and so the strongest winds will come with the strongest rain. and again, it looks like the late saturday early sunday time frame getting into sunday afternoon. we do expect the winds to continue in the breezes with the wind advisory over parts of the bay area. pretty much the entire bay area for the weekend, lasting. into sunday. here's a look at the future cast model. if we time it out, you'll notice out there right now the clouds mixed in with a few scattered showers. here's a look at tomorrow morning. clouds and scattered showers. here's a look at early afternoon clouds. scattered showers, and then into the first part of the evening. we begin to see it turn widespread and by late in the evening, we're already into midnight. but

that's when the yellows and the reds are now popping up and then it continues. during the overnight hours, there's a look at 3 a.m, there's a look at 5 a.m. so it is going to go on for several hours. but by sunday morning at 7 a.m, we're now beginning to break away to scattered showers once again. and the scattered showers just keep coming. so anywhere from an inch to four inches a possibility for our urban areas, 4 to 6in for our hills, including the coastal range and santa cruz mountains. so a lot of flooding expected and with the very strong winds, we could see the hazardous conditions toppled, trees, power outages as the sierra 4 to 6ft of new snow. so at the peaks by the end of the storm. and with that, there's a winter storm warning for the better half of the weekend as well. if you're going to be traveling, be prepared. and if you don't need to travel over the sierra, don't wait. here's a look at the temperatures outside right now. we're in the 50s. tomorrow morning, upper 30s to upper 40s,

and then into the afternoon. very similar conditions expected in the 50s. your extended forecast a soggy one tomorrow with the better part of the storm coming in late saturday into sunday. and then we continue with scattered showers monday and a chance on tuesday as well as wednesday. meanwhile, our afternoon highs, they don't change much. back to you. >> all right rosemary, thank you. as we prepare for the rain here, the sierra is ready for some snow and the wind with this next storm. this is video at bear valley mountain resort. you can see that wind blowing up the mountain in the overnight hours, making those ski lifts rock back and forth. >> the operations team working in the pre-dawn hours to prepare for eager skiers and snowboarders. those snow cats working to keep the slopes in good shape. clearing off the mountain, creating those smooth trails for visitors and they're also clearing out parking lots and moving some of that fresh powder to prepare for the weekend. the ops team even

shoveling out walkways to prepare for the rush. they will be busy this weekend with more snow on the way. >> all right, for more on the conditions up in the sierra, we're joined by kevin coop cooper, director of communications at corley pass resorts group. coop, good to see you. much slower start to the snow season, especially compared to last year. but it's already snowing there. we can see what is your excitement? what is your stoke level for a second storm this week? >> it's actually starting to rise right now. it feels good. it really does. greg. it feels really good to start seeing it snow again. it was tough. it was a rough start to the winter. i mean, we really just saw rain over on the west slope and really nothing carrying over into the sierra. but these last several storms have done really good. just in the last 24 hours, trying to peak 22 to 24in bear valley, 18 to 24in, and then dodge ridge 15 to 18in, which gave them the ability to open up at 100. so it's just nice. but this next round, oh yes, winter has just started, my friend. >> okay, coop. so then talk about the skiing conditions up there. look, people heard about the avalanche not too long ago. um up near palisades. and if

people are kind of apprehensive and they don't follow closely, what are the ski conditions like? and what would be the message to people who are going out? >> you know, that's a that's a great question because here's what happens. you just showed some of that footage of the mountain operations teams. they were when you're when you're finishing your adult frosty at the end of the day, or getting a cup of joe before you go home with the mountain, that's when everything starts. we have mountain operations teams that work 24 over seven, and each and every one of our resorts, they get out there all night long, and whether they're grooming or doing avalanche mitigation, they're just preparing the mountains to get ready for you to go. now the cool part is, in the next, you know, through next sunday. here's the good part. once we get sunday to monday and tuesday, there's another storm behind it. most resorts are going to be open at 100. the skiing right now is mid-winter shape that is amazing. you're going to see most of the terrain open up. you're not going to be. it's not low tide. we just had the low tide for the last 90 days. it's going to be really good to get up. and this snow quality is light. it's dry. it's very, very good. not quite cold

smoke but after this next storm we might just see cold smoke. pow. yeah >> that's good news for skiers, coop. the wind and the snow. we just heard rosemary talk about it a little bit. that could create some dangerous traveling conditions in the sierra. possibly whiteout conditions. you're an expert on this. what do people need to be aware of this weekend? especially >> you need to prepare, guys. you need to have that road kit, right? we haven't had a lot of snow all winter. people were driving up without chains. caltrans and chp have been dealing with that on i-80, highway 50, state route 88, state route four, and state route 108. be prepared. have that full tank of gas. your ev car should be fully charged before you come up over this year. chains, chains tensioners have your water. have extra food in there. have your cell phone charged. if that road closes, you want to be prepared and you want your family and you to be safe so you can pull off to the side of the road, just kind of hunker down for a little bit for caltrans to open it up safely. so just be aware, drive with care, slow your roll out there and remember the burm can be

firm. >> i love that everything just rhymed. that's right, the berms firm. remember everything. my goodness. okay kevin coop cooper we appreciate your time. kylie passe resorts group always appreciate it. have fun out there. >> take care. we'll see you on the mountain. all right. >> still to come, the most renowned rodent makes his prediction a longer winter or an early spring. we'll take you to the pennsylvania tradition and honoring the say, hey, kid. >> the special once in a century date and how san francisco will celebrate will mays growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message.

for as willie mays day in honor of the legendary hall of famer who wore the number 20 for the giants, say sunday's festivities will include a special banner hanging from the 24 palm trees outside of oracle park. the ferry building and salesforce tower will also be decorated with black and orange lights and the say-hey kid's godson, barry bonds and giants president larry baer expected to join city leaders during the proclamation. nba legend michael jordan sneakers have broken an auction record. >> sotheby's says a set of six individual air jordan sneakers worn by michael jordan during the nba finals sold for $8 million today at an auction in new york city. that breaks the global auction record for game worn sneakers jordan's 1998 finals opening game jersey still holds the world record for any game worn sports memorabilia. that one sold more than $10

million at auction back in 2022. >> all right, the unscientific but entertaining ritual of weather forecasting by rodent unfolded in pennsylvania this morning. punxsutawney phil did not see his shadow as he was hoisted into the air in gobbler's knob. this morning. that is supposed to mean winter will check out early this year. thousands of people turned out for the festivities in freezing temperatures. historians say the event comes from pennsylvania dutch culture, with groundhog lodge opening in the 1930s. >> i think it's just, um, you know, a kind of sense. so let's do something kind of tradition, like santa claus, you know, uh, let's have some kind of fun with a traditional icon and, you know, just pretend that somehow it's going to tell us what the weather is about. >> the event exploded in popularity after the release of the bill murray movie groundhog day, back in 1993. who could

forget that? for what it is worth, punxsutawney phil only has about a 40% accurate rate. that is much worse than our weather forecasters, as they will tell you the same. so punxsutawney phil, though at least he's cute. >> well, punxsutawney phil isn't the only animal predicting an early spring. >> it is indeed going to be an early spring today in new york, clucks anthony. >> henrietta laid an egg, which is her way of forecasting an early spring. henrietta lives at a farm about 45 miles north of new york city. this is the sixth year that henrietta has delivered a forecast. >> listen, i'm all for it. you know, when they have the animals, predict the winners of, like, the world cup or the super bowl, like i'm all for that stuff. pandas which which ball do they pick? >> that's true. and there's one for the super bowl, too. i just can't remember which one it is. there's an animal that chooses maybe a tortoise, maybe that's a tease for ten. >> there you go. uh, i still love groundhog day, one of my favorite movies. all right,

coming up, artists concerns with i continue to grow the issues raised by the music industry that are, again, getting the attention of lawmakers and coming up at 6:00, like most mornings, a san francisco man headed out for an early morning swim. >> but he never made it to the water. >> he's very kind. he never has a bad word for anyone. >> the man attacked and severely beaten and robbed all two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing,

lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. hi there. do you need any help? yeah. i was just wondering what nosh means? [blowing whistle]

natural. organic, specialty, healthy. yay. nosh! everything marked nosh means natural, organic. specialty and healthy. that way, you can eat healthy while sticking to a budget. ummm, no. you want to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are.

instant using ai. >> i'm a barbie girl in a barbie world. >> it's a cover that nobody asked for and wasn't approved by the estate of johnny cash, a house subcommittee used it as an example of how artificial intelligence is being used to mimic artists. lawmakers moved from their typical setting to hear directly from musicians in l.a. >> i do not have to tell you how much of a gut punch it is to have your name, your likeness, or your voice ripped from you and used in ways that you could never imagine or would never allow. >> artists aren't just worried about their music. country star lainey wilson says her likeness was used to sell weight loss gummies, something she says she'd never do. and i've got a lot of little kids watching me. >> i want to encourage them to feel comfortable in their own skin and love themselves. >> in another high profile scandal, i was used to create explicit images of taylor swift

that circulated on the internet. >> the question is, will we protect celebrities from deepfakes using a.i. was a major sticking point. >> the recent sag-aftra writers. strike industry leaders say the technology can be useful, but they have to be careful to keep artists autonomy. >> importantly, i will be a tool that our editorial team will use to enhance and expand. their work, not replace it. >> last month, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill they hope will protect people's voices and likeness online. but as the technology advances, less legislating, it becomes increasingly complicated. in new york, connor hansen, fox news. this. is ktvu, fox two news at six. >> usually i would park behind the maritime museum. it's dark. it's a little scary. >> a san francisco swimmer just headed outor some early morning exercises in the hospital tonight, after he was badly beaten by carjackers this morning.
