threatening a letter carrier his personal possessions, as well as both the public's mail and packages. this sends a concerning message of encouraging to our nation's criminals and a message of disregard servants who deserve better protection and reassurance that the law will take crimes against them seriously. there's also a new $150,000 reward just put out yesterday for information leading to the arrest of another robber. take a look at that surveillance footage. from. you can. youúcan see a man in red sweatpants run up behind a postal carrier. she initially says, oh, you scared me. not realizing she's about to be robbed. this happened on march 2nd around 3:45 p.m. on euclid avenue in oakland. another angle shows him trying to grab her,

have been telling you and now let's bring steve in without any further delayc. >> thank you sir. it is clear out there the wind gusts are the kind of the big story here, but also sunshine and anywhere from port chicago's 29mph to cobb mountain, 63. mount diablo, oakland hillsl 36s right above the claremont. healdsburg hills 47. mount sassoon city also in there, so. wind advisory goes until 5:00 today 11 a.m. tomorrow for others, especially up in the hills. but it's a north northeast breeze. thankfully, the hills are green. we've had t not huge, but anytime you get an offshore breeze it makes us take notice. here we are running considerably warmer as you might spimagine than rosa is plus 31 hayward plus 12 double digits warmer for half moon bay, concord and also livermore. so that's going to translate into warmer temps, 60s again, if you can get that north wind to sustain itself, you

might get some 70 fours out of this. maybe santa rosa walnut creek 72, palo alto 70, san jose 70. the upper low is digging into southern california for a couple of forecast models. one of them really digs it all the way back to san the case, then k we'll keep the breeze going a here santa rosa northl the 31. hour and a half. concord's 22.u- fairfield was 35, now 29, but still strong enough along the coast. it's been up to about 3035 now 30 at half moon bay. sfo is around 28. hayward is now in the almost to 30 miles an hour in livermore. up to 28 gusts. that's the upper low. the signature there around las vegas . but look at all the activity beginning to pop up down there. so if you're going down for spring training i would keep an eye on things. i think they're really going to pop here today and also tomorrow is that upper low begins to backtrack into southern cal. look at that right around palm springs, there ten over to blythe and heading over to phoenix. i think that's going to be a wild ride today and

tomorrow, 50s on a lot of the temps, 40s for some, even a few 30s if you don't have any breeze, it can be cool. if not, then you're in the mild side but dominating the entire west coast is this high.c until that low kicks out, it will weaken and start to eject out on the weekend, but it'll be sunny for all i think tomorrow will be the warmest day. still nice on the weekend. maybe just as breezy, but wind will be decreasing by then. next pattern change after this one looks to be around the 20th 21st, but until then, sunny sidw 741. the latest on the woman followed home robbed at gunpoine warning she has in case you find yourself in a similar situationr as you're on two. >> well, good morning, san francisco is facing aúlawsuit over drug use and crowded homeless encampments. new at eight. the federal suit, set to be filed today a group of residents and business owners
