an inch to an inch and a quarter, and you can see this cloud cover racing across. could be some sun breaks. south. but r cloudy tuesday for most here. lots of cloudsn chilly, steady, light rain north. mostly cloudyl take to 50s and 60s on the temps. allc right, here's sal. >> all right steve. westbound bay bridge. they did end up finding the island, blocking two lanes on the bridge. and even though our cameras being slightly affected by poor visibility, you can see how slow it is. this is on the other side trying to clear itúup, but when the bridge is this slow, they dn and we're going to see a bigger they were to magically pluck this thing off the bridge. i'm. i'm afraid the damage is done here. you mightúwant to think about heading x80 and heading mateo bridge traffic is going to be okay heading across to the h, sal. >> thank you. bay area polling places and voting centers just opened their doors at 7:00 on the super tuesday. many voters,

though, have already sent in their ballots by mail or have dropped them off early. ktvu amanda quintana live at a santa clara about historically low voter turnout. amandac >> yeah, well, that's right, garcia. we just had someone come out and say the polls are open. they just opened the just one of voting centers here in santa clara county. but yes, political analystsc have said that they do expect lower voter turnout for this election. one of the big reasons is the presidential race. it is close to over with the clear frontrunners donald trump and president biden. so ac lot of people might feel like their vote doesn't. really count for that race. but there are other races on the ballot as well. now, historic valley, we do see primary elections getting a lot of older voters, but there are still a lot of important local issues on the ballot that could getúpeople to turn out. today, we've been taking a look at voter turnout all over the bay area. yesterday, there was a

line of carsúin alameda county with people dropping off their ballots. some voters in san francisco preferred going in to drop off their ballot at city hall so they could ask questions if needed. but a large percentage of voters choose to vote before today, i went around our building a few weeks ago. to make sure everyone was registered to vote, and i had registered cards in case they weren't. >> i knocked on doors today to. say, have you voted? have yout& voted. i want to make sure my neighbors go and vote. and i'm happy to say that the neighbors i spoke to are all registered, and all of them have voted and voted by mail. all >> here in santa clara county, e ballot that are getting a lot of attention. one is the congressional race to replace retiring representative anna issue. there are 11 candidates vying for that seat, including the former san jose mayor sam liccardo, current assembly member evan lowe and a current

santa clara county supervisor, joe smith. excuse. me, simitian. there are also measures like one to make the santa clara chief of police in appointed, rather than elected position. now santa clara is the only city in california that currently elects a police chief. so that's an important one as well. now, to make your vote count, if you are planning on turning in your spballot today. today you got be planning to vote today, you have spto be in line by eight. also,f you're mailing it, it has to be postmarked by eight tonight. so 8:00 tonight, a very important time. if you still need to vote. but polling places are open. we'll be here this morning trying to get an idea ofcúvoter turnout, but as we've seen itc open here, we've only seen one person walk in. so still not a lot of people out here early in the morning to vote live in san jose. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda, thank you. even

though we do expect the results of today's vote to come in later tonight, election officials throughout the bay want to remind the public that counting each ballot takes time. counties have 28 days to complete the official tabulation process. mail in ballots will still be counted if they're postmarked by tonight, and they have to arrive no later than onec week after today. signatures on those ballots have to be verified. officials must make sure the number of voters aligns with the voting location. counties will also randomly hand count 1% of their ballots to confirm the results. sp>> all right, guys, here. time 705. one of the most closely watched primary election races on the california ballot, the us senate race. ktvu is andre senior in the studio. now to tell us what the latest polls showed happening with that record breaking amount of money spent on this campaign? >> yeah,údave. well, the candidates are competing to fill the seat the late senator dianne feinstein. three of the four top candidates are current membersúof congress fore baseball player. now, all the candidates have been crisscrossing the state campaigningc to get out the vot. a newly released poll from

berkeley igs shows republican former pro baseball star steve garvey pulling ahead of democratic congressman adam schiff for the first time, followed by democratic house members katie porter and oaklandgs barbara lee. >> i'm very proud of my record of delivering mass transit, bringing back millions to find affordable housing for people to help deal with the epidemic of homelessness. my efforts to pass california's patient bill of rights. but people have found a voice in me where they're standing up and saying, i've had it. >> uh, we want to send c backc,s voice. >> washington needs to pay more attention to california. we are the biggest state. um, we havet& the most people, and we are not always getting washington to focus on our issues. >> my campaign is a multiracial, multigenerational, progressive coalition. >> californians now, according to adimpact, which tracks political spending, more than $65 million have been spent on ads so far in this campaign. >> the most expensive senatet& campaign in california history.

by the way, shift is responsible for most of that spending, with many of his ads featuring garvey himself. >> adam schiff has run a brilliant race around excluding his democrat opposition in favor of the republican. it's very simple as to why he's doing it, and that is because he knows that given registration trends, everything else, steve garvey doesn't have a big chance. in november. so schiff has really been going after his opponents, and you see it in his media buys. >> you've probably seen them on television as well. analysts say garvey would general election in california, wherec registered democrats really outnumber republicans 2 to 1. now the top two candidates will face off in november's general election. the ballot for the us senate race is a little unusual this year. you actually have to vote twice for your candidate. the first is to vote to finish of the late senae feinstein. that's from november to january and the second vote is forúthe full time senate seat

for sixúyears through january of 2031. gasia andre senior, thank you. >> ktvu will continue our coverage of super tuesday all day and night. we'll have live reports throughout our evening and afternoon newscasts. we'll also stream local results for you live and give regular updates between 8 and 10 p.mn on the fox local app to free download for your smart tv, just download the app and search ktvu. >> okay gasia time 708. a man in the east bay who reported that his wife and mother in law were now charged with their murdern police in san pablo arrested the man after they say they found evidence that he killed both of them in their home andc up by rs missing. police say the husband told them that the two women drove away in theúfamily car, and may have headed to southern california, but police say they have surveillance video right here showing the suspect driving that car. only hours after telling police he didn't know where the car was.

>> i can't even fathom the extent of grief or shock that, you know, a family. we, um, the family might be experiencing now. >> the suspect's first court appearance is scheduled today, and police say they're women. it is 709. california's next snow pack survey is tentatively scheduled for april 2nd. the snowstorm that hit the sierra over the weekend practically erased any thoughts about a potential drought. the snowpack is right now about 119% of average at this time of the year. the water content at 104% of average, which is an amazing jump from 28% back in january. the experts say of normal amounts of snow falls within the next few weeks will be well above the previous years. >> i'd say the next 3 to 4 weeks are going to be really critical

for what we get in the snowpack in total, in terms of those big, are like clear. >> we have a lot of snow the last couple of days have a mirah here. so everything is going >> and the officials also say california's 30 biggest reservoirs are also well above average. a good morning. >> it's 710 and bay bridge. our camera showing the bay bridge has been fogged out rather recently. in fact let me just great. so let's go back to the- bay bridge. there was a crash on the bay bridge. they're moving it. it was a hit and run crash. now i just hed that there is video and that they actually have identified a vehicle. so, uh, too bad for that person, but. right now, traffic is recovering on the bridge as they've cleared the crash. it's backed up all the way out to the maze. let's talk about perhaps getting down tocúthe san mateo bridge, 880 south and on the san

mateo bridge. it looks pretty good heading out to the high lee desk. >> all right. thank you. well, as soon as next month, there could be a vote to remove alameda county district attorney pamela price from office. we'll tell you how today's primary electionsúcould affect that push . to recall, the district is already making changes. >> his call on whetherc players will have toústand for of game s

"overflowing with ideas and energy." that's the san francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. porter is "easily the most impressive candidate."

there could be a vote to recall the alameda county district attorney, pamela price. now, critics of pamela price turned in ten boxes of signatures, with more than 123,000 names, 50,000 more than needed. now, county ad confirm that 73,000 of them are actually people who live in alameda county. the recall organizers feel they have enough. >> we shouldn't have to do this. but for the safety of ourt& community, theúsafety of our children, the safety of our businesses, thisúis something that had to be done. >> now, supporters of pamela price are questioning how some of the signatures were collected. her supporters first wrote to california attorney

general rob bonta, asking him to investigate allegations of deceptive tactics used by recall organizers. here's now a letter has been sent to california's secretary of state, shirley weber. >> we've asked her to ensure that she dedicates resource forces immediately to ensure that each and every signature is both reviewed independently and verified. >> now, there is some uncertainty about the recall vote because of measure b. that's on today's primary election ballot. it would change alameda county's recall election laws to be similar to california's law. if b passes, it would raise the threshold of signatures needed to get a recall upon writes of pamela price saying, no matter what happens, they are confident there will be a recall vote. >> california's largest health care provider is set to lay off dozens of employees this month. kaiser permanente plans to cut 70 employees by april. the chronicle reports. this includes

49 positions in pleasanton and one in oakland. most of the workers have it roles. they're not directly involved with direct communication this frida, free at home covid test kits from the us government will no longer be available. the department of health and human services says. the decision comes after a decline in cases weekly tests will still be provided to long tum care facilities, food banks, health centers and schools. if you place orders for free at home covid tests on or before this friday, you will still receive them. >> our time now 716 france just became the first country in the world to guarantee abortion as a constitutional right. people were celebrating at the eiffel tower as that measure was adopted by the french parliament. many french lawmakers cited the rollback of abortion rights here in the us as their motivation to pass that legislation. 14 states have enacted full abortion bans with seven others enforcing restrictions on the procedure between 6 to 18 weeks of

pregnancy. >> all around us, there are extremists working harder than ever to drag us back to a past that we thought was long over. >> now, democrat s want to use abortion rights as a campaign issue to increase voter turnout. republicans are also using the issue in their campaign thing, with donald trump taking credit for overturning roe versus wade. >> 717 hear the new manager of the san francisco giants says the entire dugout will be required to stand on the field for the national anthem. bob melvin says the policyúis not political, says it's meant to show opponents they're ready to play, and that the team has a united mindset entering the game . >> he absolutely is making a statement, and i'm a little surprised new to the bay area. f you're not new to the bay area, you understand the lineage and the history. and i'll even say dna of the bay area and its

social activism in particular within sport. >> melvin's predecessor, gabe kapler, took a knee several times in protest of the death of george floyd in 2020. he also did not appear the national anthem in the 2022 singing of the national anthem, immediately following a mass shooting at an elementary school in uvalde, texas. that's a big issue. >> we'll see what happens with sal problem on the bay bridge, sal. yeah, and it's beginning to affect traffic even in the carpool lane. >> let's go. right to the toll plaza there. i will show youc that even the carpool lanes are slowing down. and that's because now they're just. they are making progress with that crash. but it did block two lanes on the bridge, and the there we go. looks like the cloud that was there has been removed. you can tell the traffic on the bridge is much better now that they've gotten that crash out of the way. but it's going to take just a little while here to unwind. a

bit, if you want to come a little later, it might be better forúyou. if you have to go now, just be aware that's there. you want to maybe use the same mateo bridge if you're in between both spans, the san mateo bridge is better. dumbarton bridge doesn'h bay commute is to wake up a little bit. 85,ú101 normal. as you head over to the- west valley. 719 let's bring steve sal, thank you for some. it's just a lot of cloud cover for others, there might be a few breaks, but if you're a marin county north, it's been a steady rain, most of it overnight. but cazadero our good friend raymond there with an inch and a quarter. mount tamalpais is up to three quarters west of healdsburg, two thirds woodacre marin county, half inch just shy of a half inch lake sonoma, 45/100 a lima valley. i think they're up to 47/100 right now, and santa rosa airport at a quarter of an inch. there's been some half inch to a third amounts from calistoga to franz valley north as well. so it's hard to see because a lot of it's below the radar

beam, but it's there. it's been hanging out over marin county and areas north. this is a system that's again, this is not a big system. it's going to go right to the coast the next 24 hours. it'll do this, do this and then go right down the coast. so this is not a big siee temps due to the cloud cover. some sun breaks could push some low to mid 60s, especially soutc . but again you just keep getting this light steady rain. lagunitas has had over a half inch of rain, andc it probably looks like it's going to continue most of the day for, you know, some off and on. but and also on the san mateo coast, some of that's kind of sneaked in over the peninsula as well. so look for cloudy to mostly cloudy skies, some light rain or a steady rain. most of it by far will today and then start to work its way southwardc tomorrow, which would favor the santa cruz mountains. so if you're east, probably little or north or south, a little bit more than most. and on the way e weekend. but we will get a break thursday, friday. rain. nothing. there's nothing showing spup here that says any big

systems are on the way. little toúno sierra snow, just a couple inches here. but santa rosa north. maybe some decent rain here over the next week, but not a lot 5060s on the temps. cooler into wednesday a break thursday, friday a lot of cloud cover, maybe some light rain late saturday. >> steve thank you. a plan years in the making is now reality for the counter at stores nationwide . what experts say this future s health care and a small plane crashed in tennessee. >> at least five people were killed. what we hear happened in the moments leading upúto last night's deadly crash

tennessee police say the pilot reported the engine trouble and requested an emergency landing at an airport in nashville. short time later, the pilot radioed the aircraft would not reach the airport. it crashed io a grassy median just off the interstate. no injuries to drivers.úauthorities are still e plane to crash. >> our time now. 724 a search for three gunmen in monterey county goes spshooting in king city on saturday, right outside of a birthday party. king city is southeast of salinas. witnesses say the masked gunman drove up s held. got out of their car and started shooting. 11 people were shot, three men andúone woman were killed. two other victims

are in critical condition. one mother says one of her daughters was killed and another daughter was wounded. >> i want her to be justice. i want there to be justice for what happened to my daughters. i want justice as soon as possible. now a $20,000 reward is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people involved in less than a month here, giant fast food pay theirs $20 an hour. >> there had been criticism about a possible carve out for panera, but governor newsom now says the panera will have to abide by the new pay scale ast& well. >> they are exempted based on what labor secretary saying based on a restaurant association saying based upon saying. so they they're exemptt- or not excuse me, forgive me. and i'm not now that proves that i'm. can we rerun that tape? um, they meaning they are not exempted. yeah, that's a profound and obvious distinction . >> theúcontroversy came from

languageúin the new law, which says restaurants are exempt if they operate a bakery that produces is for sale on the establishments premises. bread. someúrepublicans had accused governor newsom of including that language to benefit panera. he says he did it to. but they say they say that he did it to benefit greg flynn, who ownsútwo dozen panera restaurants in california. flynn, a major donor to governor newsom's campaign for reelection. republican lawmakers sent a letter to california's attorney general urging him to investigate the governor's involvement in the special exemption for bakeries in the new law. we have received the letter and we are reviewing it, and whether there's something further to share,úwe will, but we are reviewing it at this time and we acknowledge receipt of the letter. fast food wage law goes into effect april 1st. governor newsom is making a last minute push for the only statewide measurec on the voters prop one, and why critics say not so fast.

well, today's the day turn in that vote and turn in those ballots. why san francisco voters have a lot to decide on this primary election day. and on this election day, some new intelligence could disrupt the elections. what's being done to protect voting and make sure we can trust the election system. from ktvu, fox two news.t& >> this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning to you. thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it is tuesday super tuesday march 5th. the weather should you get to walk to your polling- spot or just drop it off in the mailbox. >> unless you're in marin county. >> well, that's true rain up there. right there have been rain there ever. >> elsewhere, not so much of an issue here, but boy, i'll tell you a lot of cloud cover. marin county keeps stacking up parts of sonoma county.c looks like it's leveled off there for some, but temperatures mainly on the

near 50 degrees. santa rosa 51 the city and there. livermore is the outlier, but still cloudy to mostly cloudy here, but in marin county, i mean mount tamalpais is now up to 87/100 woodacre lagunitas, all old olema valley, all over a half inch of rain. looks like it's let up for some, but there's still some kind of areas to the north. so look for cloudy to mostly cloudy skies on this super cloudy tuesdayn some this evening and then tonight- into tomorrow it will favor areas near the coast and towards the santa cruzc mountains. if you're east, probably not much of anything at all, but 5060 on the thames. all right. sal seer got busy. bay bridge toll plaza. spthat better? worse. same what& >> well, it's getting better because they cleared the crash on the bridge, steve. butc there is a bigger backup. we're going to start with the macarthur maze and show you that westbound. it's pretty slow trying to get onto the bay bridge and then the bay bridge toll plaza. delay is severe, although now that they've opened up the lanes on the bridge, things shouldúbe getting better momentarily or not, i wouldn't say momentarily.

going to be getting better as the morning wears on. 732 let's go back to the desk, sal. >> thank you. today, super tuesday, the second biggest voting day nationwide this year behind november's general election. people in california and 14 other states are turning in ballots and heading to polling places to vote inc the presidential primary. reporter rebecca castro live atc a pollig spot in virginia with what's at stake on the national scale. and we'll talk first about what's happening nationally. there's a lot of talk about low voter turnout in california, how rebe. garcia, good morning. >> this is something that we're tracking in several other states as well, with several other they're expecting to have lower voter is another one. and happens when yu have an incumbent on the ballot and in today's case, there are presidents on both the republican and the democratic ballots today. >> well, neither president biden nor former president trump can tonight. what states are experts

most closely watching? so especially on the gop side, it's california and texas that are the big states today. >> they have the largest amount of delegates at stake. so especially in california, if donald trump were to win over 50% of the vote, there, he would lock in all 169 delegates in that state, which would be a major win for him and get him even closer to securing that nomination, where you need just over 1200 delegatesúto be the gop nominee. >> okay. and his challenger, nikki haley, has said she'll stay in the race at least through tonight. what kind of showing does haley need to prolong her presidential run? >> so nikki haley, she needs to rack up delegates in a lot of states today and really keep trump from running awayc with te nomination from here. if she doesn't do that today, it's all comes down to the math. and she won't have the numbers if shet& doesn't have a good showing today. >> all right, rebecca castro live in virginia for us on thisc

primary day. thanks for joining us. >> all right. our time is 734. and on this primary election day campaign workers in san francisco are busy. they are out urgingúpeople to vote for several local measures on the ballot. ktvu is ali rasmus is in san francisco to tell us what's at stake. and why. the mayor wants to give a boost to some of the local measures. good morning ali. >> good morning dave. yeah, there are about local measures on the ballot for san francisco voters. and three of them were written and supported by san francisco she was out het a short time ago with this group here behind us in the west portal neighborhood outside the starbucks. they've set up a table and chairs there, letting people walking by know and encouraging them to vote for these three measures. we're talking about measures a, c, e and f. let's talk about what they would do. measure c would eliminate the real estate transfer tax for developers who convert commercial buildings. so think those downtown high rises that are now empty into housing

measure e would authorize the city to install public surveillance cameras, give police more flexibility to use drones, facial recognition technology and chase people suspected of committing violent crimes and felonies. and measure f would require people on public assistance in and get substance abuse treatment. the spokesperson for the campaign supporting these os about police technology and drug testing measures. e and f have about 60% approval from san francisco voters, according to the campaign's internalúpolls. >> is what it tells us is that voters are really looking for solutions a lot of these big issues that are facing the city. um, and that's why we're mayor breed pul you know, reputation and administration out there to help us with these three really important solutions that we think are going to really help bring san francisco forward. >> now, not everyone feels the same way. of course, there are groups actively campaigning

against those three measures. measures c, e, and f. last week, the san francisco chronicle published an article highlighting some of the data past, showing that police chases are more likely to lead to deadly crashes. now, san francisco's elections director ktvu, spoke with him yesterday. he says right now, voter turnout in the city is around 17. but that's before today. today is when his elections office gets the highest volume of mail in ballots. that's when people get their ballots in thec mail. they wait till the last minute to fill it out and they turn thosen still today you have until 8:00- to do that. you can vote in person as well until 8:00 when the polls close, or you could put your mail in ballot in the actual mail. you just have to make sure it is postmarked no san francisco. ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> ali, thank you. governor newsom spoke at a san francisco union hall to urge people to

vote yes on the only statewide ballot measure, proposition one. the governor was joined by mayor london breed, sacramento's mayor darrell steinberg, and a coalition of mentalúhealth workers, doctors and firefighters. if approved, prop one would allow the state to borrow $6.4 billion. the money would be used health and substancec abuse treatment facilities, as well as housing. in fact, governor newsom says it has bipartisan support in the state legislature . >> we are in a position we haven't been in 50 years to address this crisis. that's why it's so important to take this opportunity in this moment, to not just assert ourselves, but to advance a paradigm which i think meets this moment in a very unifying way. this was bipartisan in the senate. >> opponents, though, questioned the constitutionality of proposition one. they say it would cause some people struggling with mental illnesst& and living on the streets to be forced into treatment programs. >> our time now. 738. there are new concerns on this primary election day about artificial

intelligence and how it could affect the election process. the of president biden's voice wasn used in a january robo call to discourage voting in new hampshire's primaryn after that, the fcc made it illegal to use voices generated by ai for unsolicited robo calls, with the fcc saying that technology could be used to misinform voters. in our last on two, we talked with an internet security expert about the risk of artificial intelligence use in elections. >> we do anticipate that generative ai certainly has the potential to increase misinformation campaigns, as it can magnify or amplify the risk that already exists. um, right now, today, super tuesday, it's very quiet. we are not hearing of any spread of misinformation, but we know as we get closer to the general election that will

all change. now election officials say they're more worried about the use of artificial intelligence they are about hacking or an alteration of the votec results. >> they say they do have good security defenses for their voting systems. and the san francisco ferry getting in the spirit for election day. if you ride on one of the ferries today, you'll get one of these ai voted stickers. i voted, i voted officials say they'll be passing them out at the downtown san francisco and south san francisco terminals until 930 this morning. >> i love a good pun. >> i voted and that's a cute sticker. >> hats off to them. all right, let's get you to work and school and all those good places we get to go today. sal castaneda where are you most concerned when it comes to our morning commute? the bay bridge and that wholet&- boating thing might be a good ferry today instead of maybe the

>> well, he's been saving up for this procedure since 2016. the cost at $80,000. but because of this new device, he says he'll literally be back on his feet faster than some of patients. wow. i don't know, i don't know. >> i'll stay at my five five. the nurse triedúto tell me i was five four at my last checkup and i said, measure again, measure again. >> so you're taller now? >> i'm holding on to five five cell. >> right. you know what? that's probably a good idea there, garcia. justúto stick withúwhat godc there you go with it. >> after all. good good morning, everyone. uh, if you are driving on southbound 880, you will see some slow traffic down heading over to fremont. there's a new crash. unfortunately southbound 880 at dakota road. there was already a crash on the dumbarton bridge and the san mateoúbridge is taking more traffic. and i think it's because some people have been avoiding the bay bridge. we had some earlier crashes there. it is getting better. they cleared the crash on the span, but there was a bigger backup. now things are

beginning to be loosening up a bit on the bay bridge. let's talk about some of the other bridges. the richmond bridge is a characteristically slow. it's about a 10úto 15 minute delay before you make it onto that span. 750 let's bring steve back in and talk about today's weather. >> all right. sound thank you sir. we'll take a look at sierra snowfall. now that they are they're done. and if theregs anything that falls it'd be an inch or two. and not not really that much here, but sugar bowl i think at the most of 126in of snow since friday. soda springs 116 homewood, 98. palisades tahoe 96.únot too shabby. so where does that put the sierra snowpack? you know, they were waiting and waiting. february was good and early march came in like a big snowy line there. northern sierra, now 111% of normal central sierra. that includes tahoe region 104 and the southern sierra is now 94, as is statewide info. as of yesterday. how are we doing as far as we're going? water content. so if you melted all that snow down water content equivalent would be over 24in of liquid, which is 104. i do

believe though last year we wer& at 54 snow water equivalent. so while we've made up ground, we're not even close to last year. rainfall. mount saint helena, three quarters at marin county. you go lima valley, hal, but really cazadero is the front runner here at an inch and a quarter, maybe more by now. mountc tamalpais 87/100 west of healdsburg, two thirds. lagunitas had a half inch near forestville, about the same lake. sonoma 45, sanúanselmo, now 28, 100 and santa rosa airport, also at a quarter of an inch. it's tough to see sometimes. it's below the rain is below the radar beam. looks like it's let up for some, although there still could be some light rain. it's mainly been over marin county kind of hanging out there most of the morning. this system will come right to the coast, then go southward. that will be late tonight and tomorrow. so if you're well inland, you probably won't get much ofúanything. maybe some lightúamounts of trace or 0.01, but if you're northward, marin county, north today, and then for areas along the coast and santa cruz mountains are more favorable for tomorrow. so look for

temperatures to be in the 50s 60s sun breaks, especially santa clara valley as that system plays into our weather. it's a weak system, but you can see there will be some the way of any snow. this will not impact them whatsoever, but it keeps some light rain in a lot of clouds in our forecast. gasia daven >> thank you steve. coming up, one of union square's most popular events is back. what you need to know about bulb day and what youúneed to do if you want to score some free gorgeous flowers, then another blow for a troubled downtown san francisco have joined the list of those at are leavi

a steady rain in marin county. o have let up for others. but it is gray out there, a lot 50s on, sometimes 40. livermore& is now 45, but that's the coolest temp in the bay area. the is the city and also napa airport and now san jose at 52. but everyone's saying cloudy skies again. it's tough to see. but up in parts of mendocino county, lake county, northern napa county, sonoma, especially russian river and into marin county, there's been some light, steady rain. there's been some half inch amounts to over an generally it's a lot of cloud cover. so super cloudy. tuesday is the way we're calling it there. light rain, chilly kind of kind of cool there with some fog and low clouds.úmaybe a few sun breaks south here, but overall mostly cloudy day with 50s and 60s on the temps. all right. sounds here. bay bridge toll plaza somewhere else. yeah. >> let's start with the richmont to all the bridges because i think, steve, almost every bridge has slow traffic or some sort of issue. so we're going to start with first i can show you going to be eastshore freeway. we've had

some slow traffic there approaching the macarthur maze because of earlier problems on thec bridge. i will show you tht the traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza is going to be busy. if you are driving into san francisco. there was an earlier crash that was cleared up. now, the san mateo bridge is also its getting a little bit better once you make it onto the bridge. and if you're driving to thet& dumbarton bridge, they cleared an accident. however, getting to it mayúbe a little tough in hayward, union city and fremont. 801 let's get back to the headlines, sal. >> thank you. bay area polling places and voting centers opened their doors just about an hour agoc on the super tuesday. many voters have alreadyc sent in their ballots by mail orúhave dropped them off early. ktvu amanda quintana live at a santa clara county voting center to share. some people are concerned a lot of people really about this year.ly low voter turnout >> yeah, well, they are really trying to make it fun to comec n spand vote here today. there is such a great setup with all these balloons, these big vote letters here. there's evenc a

place where youc can take a little photo booth, picture, and there's little signs that you can hold up. so they really are trying to encourage people to come out here and vote today. so have voted so far here in santa clara county. they're really trying to double that at least. but they said that is even low. usually they get around 50. they're hoping for maybe 35 or 45% this year. but historically, primary electionsúget a voters.f important local issues on the ballot that they're hoping get people to turn out. today, we've been taking a look at other voter locations and voter turnout all over the bay area. yesterday, there was a line of cars in alameda county with ballots. some voters in san francisco preferred going to drop off their ballots at city hall so they could ask questions if needed. a large percentage of voters choose to vote beforec wr

building a to make sure everyone was registered to cards in case they weren't.n say to make sure myrs today tot- neighbors go and vote and say ts i spoke to are all registered, and all of them have voted and voted by mail. >> here in santa clara county, there are a couple items on the ballot that are getting a lot of attention. one is the congressional race to replace retiring representative anna eshoo. there are 11 candidates vying for that seat, including m liccardo, assembly member evan lowe, and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian. there's also a measure to make the santa clara chief of police in appointed, rather than elected position. santa clara is the only city in california that currently elects a police chief. so in order to make your vote count, you got to get in by 8

p.m. today so you could come you could drop it off here at one of the boxes. but if you mail it, it has to be or you have to be e by eight. you could get one of these fun. take a picture.t& they're really trying to encourage people to get excited, get excited about today and come out and vote live in san jose.t& amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda, thank you. some political analysts say young unlikely to get out bipartisan a from a firm predicts only one third of voters will return to their ballot or return their ballot in this election, and political consultant luis alvarado says the number will be speven lower among the state's latino. alvarado says primary spcandidates have largely ignord and failed to activate latinos so far, but he says latino turnout will be much larger in november. the majority of latinos that vote that are registered to vote are young people, and there's nothing exciting for them in this race.

>> usually they vote in the presidential. the biggest mistakeúpoliticians are doing right now is they're not talking to leaders in those communitiese building coalitions with those people who already are recognized in the latino fighting for them. >> well, data from the public policy latinos account for 36% f california's adult population, but just 28% of the state's likely voters. >> even though wec expect the results of today's vote to come in later tonight, election officials throughout the bay want to remind the public counting each ballot takes time. counties have 28 days to complete the official tabulation process. mail-in ballots will still be counted if they're postmarked by tonight, and they have no later than one week from today. signatures on the ballots must also be verified. officials must make sure the number of voters aligns with the number of ballots from each voting location in counties will also randomly hand count 1% watched primary election races on the california ballot is the us senate race. the candidates are competing to fill the late senator dianne feinstein's old

seat. three of the four top candidates are current members of congress. the fourth is a former major league baseball player. now, all the candidates have been crisscrossing the state, campaigning to get out the vote. a newly released poll from berkeley igs shows republican and former pro baseball player steve garvey pulling ahead of democratic congressman adam schiff for the first time, followed by democratic house members katie porter and oakland's barbara lee . >> i'm very proud of my, bringing back millions to find affordable housing for people to help deal with the epidemic of homelessness. my efforts to pass california's patient bill of rights. >> but people have found a voice in me where they're standing up and saying, i've had it. uh, we want to send c back to voice. washington needs to pay more attention to california. >> we are the biggest state. um, we have the most people, and we are not always getting washington to focus on our issues.t& >> my coalition.úcalifornians

>> well, according to adimpact, which tracks political spending more than $65 million has been spent on ads so far in this campaign. the most expensive senate campaign in california history. schiff is responsible for most of that spending, with many ofc his ads featuring garvy . >> adam schiff has run a brilliant race around excluding his democrat opposition in favor of the republican. it's very simple as to why he's doing it, and that is because he knows that given registration trends, everything else, steve doesn't have a big chance in november. so schiff has really and you see it in his media buys . >> and let's say garvey would face at& general election in california, where registered democrats outnumber republicans 2 to 1. face off in november's general election. the ballot for the us senate race is a little unusual. you actually have to vote twice for your candidate. the first vote is to finish out the

current terms of from november to january, and the second vote is for the full turn . the senate seat for six years through january of 2031. ktvu will continue our coverage of super tuesday all day. we will have live reports throughout our afternoon and evening newscasts. we will also stream local results live and give regular updates between 8 and 10 tonight on the fox local app. it is a freeúdownload on your smart tv. just download the app and search ktvu. >> santa rosa police and the sonoma county da's office are investigating a deadly shootout between a man and four sheriff's deputies. candles marked the spot where the man died. authorities have yet to release his name. the incident started when to reports of a man waving a rifle at a restaurant and nightclub in west santa rosa. he took off when law enforcement arrived tht him. the two sides exchanged gunfire and the man took off again. the chase ended when he crashed and died. it's not clear, though, exactly how he died. >> our detectives are currently

businesses, this is something that had to be done. ñ> price's supporters are questioning how some of the signatures were collected. her supporters first wrote to california attorney general rob bonta, asking him to investigate allegations of deceptive tactics by recall spletter has been sent to california secretary of state shirley weber. >> we've asked her to ensure that she dedicates resources immediately to ensure that each andúevery signature is both reviewed independently and verified. now there's some uncertainty about the recall vote due to measure b on today's ballot. >> it would change alameda county's recall election laws to mirror california's laws. if it if b passes, it would raise the threshold of signatures needed for a recall. price's opponents say no matter what happens, they're confident there will be a recall vote. >> french just became the first country in the world to guarantee abortion as a constitutional right. people celebrated at the eiffel tower as the measure was adopted in the french parliament. many

and then do this. go down the nt spand south is in a better opportunity to pick up some light rain versus east, which probably will not play into your forecast much at all. if there is any trace, 0.010.02 would probably cover it. but from about santa rosa to then along n mateo coast into the santa cruz mountains, as we go into wednesday, as that low drops south, you can see the moisture beginning to come up right there as the wraparound would maybe bring in some rain for some areas. santa, santa clara valley and santa cruz and the santat& cruz mountains. after this system, though, we'll get a system on saturday.úit will drag across a lot of clouds the next system that might produce some okay rain would be on monday 5060 on the temps, a little sun break would allow forc some mid 60s to the south. probably too much cloud cover to the north. it looks good. thursday friday a lot of cloud cover if anything. spdrizzle or light rain late saturday into early sunday. steve thank you. >> the plan that's been years in the making is now reality for the first time. the birth
