4:48 am
ruling, saying, quote, we need to pause and reflect on just how cruel this is. a woman who has had desperately dreamed of becoming a mom could now be prosecuted in the state of alabama for trying to make those dreams come true. >> all right, our time is 447. the month of february is pet dental health month, and veterinarians are urging pet owners make sure your pets have a proper routine that includes brushing with a special animal, toothpaste and tooth brush, or give them a dental treat like mojo pam. 80% of dogs and 70% of cats face a risk of some kind of dental disease. plaque and tartar build up causes gingivitis, inflammation of the gums that then loosens the tooth roots can cause tooth loss and also, as you would expect, a lot of pain and discomfort for our pets. >> the other big concern is with that state of infection and inflammation. that's when bacteria can enter the
4:49 am
bloodstream and go around their body, causing issues with their heart, their liver or their kidneys. >> now, infections and inflammation in the mouth can lead to bacteria getting into your pet's bloodstream that can damage their heart, their liver, or their kidneys. pet owners should also have a veterinarian check the gums of your pet as part of an annual checkup. well, an affordable housing plan in san francisco is back to the planning stages. >> the plan to build 200 homes for seniors was originally approved in october. the chronicle says. the developer has filed new plans for the project, adding what would now be seven stories and 123 studio and 113 one bedroom apartments and single two bedroom apartments. >> time now for 48 niles canyon road in the east bay has partially reopened after those heavy storms earlier this week caused part of the road to slip out and collapse. part of highway 84 between old canyon road and main street in sunol is

4:51 am
longer time presence on the moon and testing new technologies for landing on the moon. this lunar lander is carrying six nasa experiments. researchers hope odysseus can find ice crystals that could be turned into water, oxygen, and even fuel. amazing, incredible, incredible video and it's a fun to watch that. all right. we'll continue to keep an eye on that while steve keeps an eye on our weather. what do we need to know for today? >> it'll be warming up today and tomorrow. even with cloud cover coming in, we'll take a look at yesterday's temps. i don't know if san jose airport is correct. they said 73 yesterday. i couldn't find anybody within five degrees of that. so i think that's spurious. so i went with another observation closer to san jose state meteorology department in downtown 68. sunnyvale was 67 east san jose. reid-hillview was 66, cupertino 65, santa cruz 65. vallejo, hayward and oakland all checking in at 64. it looks good to me tomorrow. i'm sure somebody will
4:52 am
change this graphic, but i don't see any issues weather wise. looks good. temperatures on the mild side might even be a little warmer than that at 515, so you don't have to worry about rain this time around. higher clouds sneaking in more to the south into the north. team of fog to the north. nothing compared to yesterday, although out to the valley as well. but far cry from yesterday. but novato? petaluma. so there's a few pockets of it out there. mount diablo, the east breeze. there's a no doubt about it. pronounced east breeze in the oakland berkeley hills, also out to mount diablo, north east at 1543 degrees. but look at berkeley 51 vallejo with a little east breeze there at 50 degrees, half moon bay 55. the city 50. yet there's a lot of low 40s for some and 30s even for others. boulder creek's 38 santa cruz, though at 47 mid 40s to low 40s around san jose. aptos at 43, scotts valley at 4118. truckee, south lake tahoe 45, and monterey, santa barbara at 49. higher clouds stream in, i think cloudy to mostly cloudy south. partly sunny, partly cloudy to the north from that low which is drawing up a lot of
4:53 am
moisture, but with that south wind, high clouds, it will be warmer, no doubt about it. and the warmest temps by far will be on saturday. i think we'll pop to some low 70s, but boy does it come down fast early next week, so don't get used to it. but you can see the moisture coming in from the south. what about rain? maybe a little bit monday, but i think today, tomorrow most of sunday will be all right. but some changes. much cooler next week. >> dave, our special program voices for change returns this week and join us as we continue to celebrate black history month with a number of impactful interviews. we're going to speak with the founder of the black cowboy coalition, an organization focused on sharing the joy of horses and ranching with underserved communities. we'll also have a conversation with the driving force behind the new peanuts special. welcome home, franklin. it tells the origin story of the peanuts first black character, franklin franklin was coming into this established group from the

6:03 am
vets said the tiger had at least ten improperly healed fractures and its bones are severely lacking in calcium, all of which they say are likely the result of poor treatment and a bad diet . it can stand it does walk, but officials say it's struggling to run and climb, so for this little tiger gal, um, if things go well, um, probably in about a month, we'll be able to see if her skeleton is calcifying correctly. >> we have a lot of lab work pending federal laws against privately owning a big cat. >> passed about a year and a half ago. that was a result of what was exposed. and the netflix series tiger king, which showed how some private owners across the country treated tigers. this isn't the first time, as we mentioned, that the zoo got involved with rescuing tigers that are actually two at the zoo right now, which were rescued about two years ago from an abandoned sanctuary. three linked to the tiger king series. the tiger zoo officials are now caring for this new tiger, and

6:16 am
together to defend their store. >> many frustrated customers and merchants agree there are two main factors in america's growing shoplifting crisis. they say we now live in a culture of rampant retail theft. at the same time, those same shoplifters don't feel there will be any punishment or any consequences for their criminal actions. we'll see how this change will affect that store. dave. >> all right. andre. thank you. time is 615. a growing number of bay area school districts now going green when it comes to offering transportation for their students. seven major school districts from berkeley to milpitas have at least one electric school bus. and that number is expected to grow dramatically in the coming years . new legislation requires that all new school busses purchased after 2035, in urban areas be zero emission vehicles. now, the price of electric school busses could be as much as five times the cost of a traditional diesel

the beginning of the month, but sure looks pretty good now. and guess what? there are signs that the end of february and march will be coming in like a cold big old line. we are now at 99% for the northern sierra, 82 for the central and 80 for the southern sierra. at the beginning of the month, they were about a third or half of that, if not more so. we've made up a lot of ground. yesterday was warm. if you were anywhere around san jose, sunnyvale east, san jose, cupertino, santa cruz, vallejo, hayward, oakland, all between 64 and 68 degrees, i think tomorrow will be warm, uh, mild to warm here. i'm sure someone will change this, but my $0.02, is that it looks good. and i think between 62 and 64, as temps will bump up on saturday and there's 5:00, it'll still be on the mild side, no doubt about it. a lot of high clouds streaming in. i think it will be cloudy south, mostly partly cloudy north here, but we have a easterly breeze and it's a pretty good breeze up in the oakland berkeley hills. thus berkeley is a warm 54 degrees, yet petaluma is 39. walnut creek
6:19 am
is 39. half moon bay is 54. so there's some big spreads on the temps. boulder creek 37 degrees, a lot of 40s, not so much pronounced down towards santa cruz. santa clara valley. it's more along the marin coast and also san mateo coast and around the bay. but santa cruz is 46 degrees and i think they'll get to 68. if not today, tomorrow. that system is drawing in a lot of moisture and it'll be with us. but it's also going to give us warm temps. we'll peak it out tomorrow with some low 70s and a big drop with clouds and cooler temps. sunday, monday. >> you hear ukrainian national anthem and that will make them smile. >> this weekend marks two years since russia invaded ukraine. in the gesture, a bay area student has inspired in hopes of replacing the sound of war and oakland unified approved a calendar for the next school year. why many parents say the holidays and breaks in the plan will make child care very difficult
