4:03 am
injured but survived. police declined to say what the motive was. >> i don't believe my brother was a target at all. i'm not sure why this happened, but it shouldn't have happened. >> police released images of the suspect vehicle, a silver honda accord put out blood. the family says cheese was focused on being a great father to his then two year old daughter. his parents created this memorial garden just outside the park. >> it's super painful. it feels like somebody is ripping my heart out of my chest to see him happy, full of life and this is all we have left. the picture and cherished memories. >> she's worked as a barber and security guard relative to say he would give out free haircuts to the homeless mom says she wants those responsible arrested and put behind bars so they we can have some kind of peace because this pain will never go away, never. police declined to say if cheese and the other man,
4:04 am
who was also killed were the intended targets. the lead investigator tells me he's followed up on leads, but none has led to a break in the case in san francisco, amber lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, amber, thank you. time is 403. a double shooting in oakland is being investigated by oakland police. it happened at ossian avenue and olive street just before 8:00 last night. now, this video you're looking at from citizen app shows several police officers at the crime scene. and now we know that the two victims are alive, but they're in the hospital. there's no word of a possible suspect. a man in san anselmo is accusing north bay law enforcement of tasing him. and then trying to cover up the incident. bruce frankel says back in august of 2022, he was suffering a grand mal seizure when his fiance called 911 for help. she expected emt to arrive, but instead the central marin police authority came
4:05 am
first. now, the couple's lawsuit accuses police officers of using a taser on him and then falsely arresting him on fake charges to justify using excessive force. >> if the police arrived and just asked a lease, you know, two questions what's going on? and has this happened before? none of this. we wouldn't be here. >> he jumped on him, and tackled him on the ground, yeah. and it was very scary just watching the whole, scene. the whole situation. >> now, ktvu has reviewed documents showing a central marin police officer accusing frankel of actively resisting him for more than two minutes. the officer ultimately pulled out his stun gun and then shocked frankel twice. an internal review found the officers use of force was justified. now, the police chief of central marin released a
4:06 am
statement about that incident and the lawsuit, saying, quote, the authority will vigorously defend itself against this meritless and factually inaccurate litigation, which is not even been served upon the authority as of yet. unfortunately, this individual has decided to first litigate his case in the media rather than in court, where we are confident the action of our officers will be vindicated. time is now 405. a new poll by the wall street journal shows former president trump leading president biden in six key swing states. if that poll shows trump leading biden in arizona, georgia, michigan, north carolina, nevada and pennsylvania. biden and trump are tied in wisconsin. the biden administration officials are spreading out across the country now, with a particular focus on swing states. now, today, vice president kamala harris will be in north carolina. yesterday, she called into a radio show in
4:07 am
north carolina. >> this election, we got everything on the line, and the voters in north carolina know how to show up. >> now, in fundraising, the biden campaign continues to outpace the trump campaign. the trump campaign says it raised $65 million in march and ended the month with $93 million in the campaign fund. the biden campaign hasn't reported its fundraising for march yet, but it ended february with $155 million on hand and that was before taking in $26 million last month at a fundraising gala in new york city. time is now 407, ktvu has confirmed. now, san francisco board of supervisors president aaron peskin will run for mayor of san francisco. peskin tells us he will file the paperwork on friday and then make an official announcement at portsmouth square on saturday. the supervisor claims his political experience and community
4:08 am
connections would help him lead the city through recovery. also, he says he wants to focus on plans to address homelessness, the drug crisis and affordable housing. peskin served two terms as supervisor between 2000 and 2009, and he was elected again in 2015. now, other major candidates in the race to replace mayor london breed include supervisor asha sapphire . former supervisor mark farrell, who was appointed mayor after the death of mayor ed lee, and philanthropist daniel lurie. our time is 407. after a month of counting the votes in the south bay, there's now a tie for second place in the race to succeed the retiring south bay congresswoman anna eshoo. silicon valley assembly member evan lowe and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian both have exactly 30,249 votes. there have been tight margins the whole time. these votes were
4:09 am
counted as a battle to see who will face former san jose mayor sam liccardo in november. now, while the tie is not yet official, the period for counting the ballots has ended well. san mateo and santa clara counties spent the past few weeks double checking votes and ballots with signatures that were missing or did not match the final vote to bring it back to a tie between simitian and lowe came from cured ballots, and a tie in that second spot means both candidates will likely be moving on to the general election. >> even if it is a dead heat. then both candidates move forward to the november general election, and there will be a three way race for the congressional seat. >> the numbers are the numbers we certify to the secretary of state, all the certification, the paperwork, everything is already on their way to the state. >> now, the staff for both simitian and evan lowe spent yesterday at the santa clara county registrar of voters office inspecting every ballot.
4:10 am
either could ask for a recount, but any campaign that asks for that would have to pay for it. and that price tag is about $500,000. both campaigns say they're waiting for the certified results to announce what they will do next. it is now 409. governor newsom and state lawmakers still trying to figure out how to deal with a major budget deficit. now, while both sides have agreed to make a $17 billion dent in the budget leaked documents show leaders in the senate and the state assembly don't agree on how to do it. members of the state assembly rejected a proposal to cut about $1 billion in housing and homelessness programs. meantime, republicans say they've been left out of the negotiations and have criticized what they say is a lack of transparency in the process. >> we are in a huge fiscal mess, and the decisions we make now are going to have huge ramifications in the future, and we have a structural problem. so
4:11 am
one time gimmicks, one time deferrals, those are not going to solve the problem. >> now, according to the office of the legislative analyst, the state budget deficit could be as big as $73 billion. all right. our time is 410. let's get you ready for a thursday. steve. a lot still coming up in our forecast? >> absolutely. mister clark here a lot is an understatement here because for april this is impressive. this is this is back to december, if you will, lightning strikes. amazing amount already out to the valley. and there will be more. but look at that low swinging in. it will be right over you and me later today. rain is not too far away and this will be a cold rain. thunderstorms and low snow levels. i think there'll be more rain than that. i'll tweak things when i have time here, but snow levels could get down to around 2500ft, so 4000ft looks likely. best opportunity, of course, to probably be santa cruz mountain south, but we'll mention it for everyone else here. 3000ft, maybe even down to 2000ft. cold high temps 48 to 56
4:12 am
on the highs today. well below average wind speeds of. maybe a little stronger gusts than that. about 35. i think key going forward as well will be some i don't want to say critical minimums, but because i think there'll be too much of a breeze and too much cloud cover dancing around, but lows saturday morning are going to be. those are highs friday afternoon, low 50s for many and saturday morning a lot of 30s here in napa. one observation says 3338 santa rosa 39 san jose 36 gilroy. so there will be some cold readings taking us well into the weekend before we see a little rebound early next week. westerly breeze or wind has already cranked up here. for some, it was roaring for many overnight here. 40s on the temps for almost everyone. don't think these will change. and just offshore the first initial bands coming in and then this. it's going to be a cold, rainy day as that upper low swings in that is extremely cold air that will swing in as well. so rainfall, i think two thirds to three quarters should cover it. if santa rosa gets 0.67, that's more in the that's more in the russian river. if san rafael
4:13 am
gets a half inch and mount tam will have more than that. ben lomond, santa cruz mountains pretty close. 59 162 san jose maybe with good rain as well. over three quarters being shown here as we go into at least saturday, early saturday, then we'll be on the drier side and sunday, monday look okay, but today and tomorrow will be, impressive to say the least, here for us this time of year with more snow in the mountains. highs today, quite cold. 50s on the temps. >> all right, steve, thank you. time is 412. a deadly hit and run in the south bay. what witnesses are telling us, has the police announced an arrest in the case? and in taiwan, recovery efforts continue after that huge earthquake yesterday, a student from uc berkeley who was there describes t

4:33 am
impact. and then about 25ft later, you can see where the truck came down. so it actually, you know, got airborne. the city of san jose says it's aware of the dangers posed at the intersection, and plans to build a roundabout there in 2025. >> a roundabout makes it nearly impossible to have a head on collision or a t-bone collision at high speeds because the vehicles are driving in a circle around the center roundabout. so we think it's going to be a vast safety improvement to that intersection, and it's just a shame that it hadn't been built by this morning. >> this was the 12th traffic death in san jose this year in 2022, a record high 65 people died in traffic accidents in san jose and last year, 49, which was the lowest it's been since 2017. lamonica peters ktvu, fox two news. all right. >> lamonica, thank you. time is 433. the city of alameda is part of the effort to reduce the number of traffic related deaths, held a traffic safety open house. now, the city showed

together. >> there's all sorts of citizen science projects that nasa is doing that you can get involved in. there's lots and lots of ways to still get involved and be part of this moment, even if you're not in a place that's going to experience the darkness. i think that this is a moment that all kids can really understand. >> yeah, it's very interesting. the experts also remind parents and others, make sure the kids are wearing proper eye protection glasses if they decide to see the eclipse. now, while we won't see the total eclipse here in the bay area part of the sun will be blocked for us on monday morning. let's get right to steve paulson right now. the weather is coming our way today. >> big time. no doubt about it here. we'll get right to it here. it's on its way. a cold, cold system probably. some records will be set for cold here. i would think after everything is said and done, as the low will swing right over us and be with us into at least friday afternoon. friday night before it slowly starts to kick
4:40 am
out. numerous lightning strikes out in the valley. you can see those right there. and now here comes our system. it is not far away, so if you need to do something, do it now because you have about an hour or maybe two before this all swings in. now the coldest air does not arrive until tonight. i still think there will be more than three quarters of an inch for a few winds will pick up at low snow levels. is kind of the big story here tonight. tomorrow all right. so 4000ft for sure. snow likely or 3000, maybe even down to 2000ft. late tonight. overnight into tomorrow. highs will be quite cool here. upper 40s in the hills to low and mid 50s. thunderstorms with hail likely today and also tomorrow. unseasonably cold. santa rosa, concord, redwood city, san jose arrows are all down 54, 55, 55, 56. don't think they'll change all that much tomorrow either. onshore wind for some has picked up mount diablo. it's already a little cold up there. 31 degrees and i'll be interested to see this tomorrow. i might even be in the upper 20s, so possible snow there. but again, the coldest air is still bottled up.
4:41 am
up, you know, into the north. won't be in here tonight until tomorrow. 40s on most of the temps here, you can see the system swinging onshore, so it won't take long before rain starts. this will be a cold, cold rain and then the low will swing in. and then this will give us, you name it, rain, maybe hail, thunderstorms and low snow levels. i it just depends on which forecast model you believe. some favor areas san jose south. others favor areas to the north. so it's just suffice to say it will be a cold rain with snow in the mountains. winter weather advisories for them. that's our. that starts at 11:00. i do believe snow level will get down to two 3000ft by tomorrow. not only here, but also in the mother lode. so, starts until 11:00 tomorrow. 10 to 20in might even be two feet. some of the higher peaks there. so back to december. like for sure for us, turning cloudy, colder rain develops off and on rain, wind, thunderstorms and low snow. otherwise there's not much going on. 50s on the temps. >> okay, steve, time now for 41. a man to marin county claims the police tased him while he was

5:02 am
and thunderstorms would not surprise temperatures though. well well below average. all right ali, any traffic or what there are some traffic problems to tell you about. >> do you have in the south bay southbound 101 at hellyer, there's a crash that has blocked one of the far right lanes. there so too early for it to tie up any traffic behind it. but you can see on the map there san mateo bridge traffic moving smoothly at this hour in the bay bridge toll plaza is light. dave >> all right. ali. thank you. well, rescue teams in taiwan scrambled right now trying to save hundreds of people still trapped inside of collapsed buildings after that huge magnitude 7.4 earthquake. the death toll remains at nine people. but taiwan's emergency response agency says more than a thousand people were hurt. hundreds more are stranded. 42 people are unaccounted for right now. many of the homes near the epicenter still don't have water or electricity. >> at first, the building was
5:03 am
side to side swing and then it trembled up and down. >> the wall of our apartment is cracked. we live on the upper floors, so we don't dare to go home. >> now, the biden administration says it is ready to provide any necessary help. that quake hit the same area where a magnitude 6.4 quake hit in 2018, and that quake killed 71 people, whereas the country of taiwan recovers from that huge earthquake, a student from uc berkeley who is there tells us what she went through. ktvu is tori gaines is here in the studio now to give us that story. good morning tori . >> good morning dave. what an ordeal for the people of taiwan were. at least nine people have died and more than a thousand have been injured. ktvu spoke with the uc berkeley student who was traveling abroad in taiwan. she described the harrowing moment the earthquake struck. >> i was trying to get up, couldn't even find my grounding. and i was like, grabbing my
5:04 am
phone. i was like falling out of my hand. >> taiwanese american student rachel lee is in taipei for the spring semester, working as an intern at a nonprofit. she was on the phone with folks in the u.s. when the earthquake hit. >> i live on the 12th floor, so i was just freaking out like, where do i go? but i couldn't even walk either. >> the first earthquake and the aftershocks that followed caused landslides and damaged roads, bridges and tunnels. taiwan has a history of strong quake activity, but this shaker was big enough to scare even people who are used to them. the taiwan seismology, seismological and geophysical data management showed the seismic waves and how strong the quake was in certain regions where lee is in taipei, people felt the impact of a five magnitude quake. lee is staying with relatives, she says. everyone she knows is safe so far, but her biggest concern is for the indigenous communities who live closer to the epicenter. the shakes aren't over for taiwan. aftershocks have struck since the big quake
5:05 am
happened, including during lee's interview with ktvu. >> oh my gosh, there's an aftershock right now. >> that's scary. >> okay, okay. for good. >> lee says that seeing the community check in on one another has been a huge source of comfort for her. the ordeal is far from over for taiwan, where crews are searching through the wreckage from the earthquake. for the dozens of people still missing. dave. >> all right. thank you. >> authorities are now doubling reward money for a deadly shooting that happened two years ago at a san francisco park to try and get information to solve the case, a group of people barbecuing and playing basketball at alice chambers park in april of 2022. when this happened, a car then drove up. two people got out and started shooting 22 year old brandon cheese and 20 year old kieran carlson were killed. two other people were wounded. police have never revealed any motive for
5:06 am
the shooting. >> this boy was my day and night . his dreams were my dreams. they destroy me. >> it's super painful. >> it feels like somebody ripping my heart out of my chest to see him happy, full of life. and this is all we have left. pictures. >> the reward for information in the case is now $250,000. police are declining to say whether the two men shot to death were the intended targets or not. the lead investigator says he's followed up on leads, but none have panned out. >> our time now. 506a double shooting in oakland is being investigated by oakland police. it happened last night at ossian avenue and olive street just before 8 p.m. this video you're looking at from citizen app shows several police officers there at the crime scene. and now we know that the two victims are alive, but they're in the hospital. there's no word about a possible suspect, but a san anselmo man is accusing north
5:07 am
bay law enforcement of tasing him and then trying to cover up the incident. >> bruce frankel says he suffered a grand seizure when his fiance called 911 for help back in august of 2022. she was expecting emts to respond, but central marin police authority arrived first. the couple's lawsuit accuses the officers of stunning him with a taser and then falsely arresting him on charges to justify excessive force. >> if the police arrived and just asked a lease, you know, two questions what's going on? and has this happened before? none of this. we wouldn't be here. >> he jumped on him and tackled him on the ground. yeah. and, it was very scary just watching the whole, scene. the whole situation. >> ktvu reviewed documents that showed central marin police officer accusing frankel of actively resisting arrest for more than two minutes. the officer ultimately pulled out
5:08 am
his stun gun and shocked frankel twice. an internal review found the officer's use of force was justified. central marin's police chief released a statement about the incident in the lawsuit, quote, the authority will vigorously defend itself against this meritless and factually inaccurate litigation, which has not even been served upon the authority as of yet. unfortunately, the individual has decided to first litigate his case in the media rather than in court, where we are confident the action of our officers will be vindicated and, quote, governor newsom and state lawmakers are still trying to figure out how to deal with a big budget deficit. while both sides have agreed to make a $17 million dent in the budget, leaked documents show that leaders in the senate and assembly don't agree yet on how to do that. members of the assembly rejected a proposal to cut about $1 billion in housing and homelessness programs. meanwhile republicans say they've been left out of the negotiations. they've criticized what they say is a lack of transparency in the process. we are in a huge fiscal mess, and
5:09 am
the decisions we make now are going to have huge ramifications in the future. >> and we have a structural problem. so one time gimmicks, one time deferrals, those are not going to solve the problem. >> according to the office of the legislative analyst, the state deficit could be as large as $73 billion. >> all right. our time is now 508. we have an update from big sur, the main route between big sur and monterey is once again completely closed to traffic. caltrans no longer running those convoys on highway one were part of the road collapse last weekend. the last convoy for the residents there left at 4 p.m. yesterday. officials have been escorting drivers twice a day on the remaining lane of that highway. but the concerns that that storm that steve's been telling us about will cause even more instability out there led to the decision to suspend those convoys until saturday morning. >> we're doing this purely out
5:10 am
of safety. we want to make sure that no one is traversing over the single lane of traffic, given the cloudy, rainy, wet pavement that, potential windy conditions. so this is all, basically in the interest of public safety and during the two days of its suspension out there, caltrans crews will be out there watching to see if there's any more movement in that area. >> 509 is the time, and i'm sure they're going to be keeping a close eye on that road and other hillsides throughout the bay area with all the storms today, also santa cruz mountains, some of the hills here for snow tonight, tomorrow could see some really low snow levels for april 4th and fifth. >> no doubt system is now beginning to move on shore. even concord says some light rain, a little system just clipping. i think it fell apart but about ready to move in on the marin co , san francisco, san mateo, santa cruz, santa cruz mountains, right there. so it's it won't take long. this is just the leading edge. look at all the lightning strikes. my goodness. just lit up in the
5:11 am
valley and we'll probably see another round of that today. tonight overnight into tomorrow as well. this is amazing system for this time of year to see a cold core system of this ilk if you will. it will probably set records for atmosphere over us being so cold this time of year, and probably some record low maximum high temperatures, a third of an inch to 8/10 of an inch. i'm more bullish than others, but that's just who i am. 25 to 35 mile per hour winds and snow levels will be dropping tonight into tomorrow. 4000ft for sure. 3000ft likely and even 2000ft is possible on the snow levels tonight. tomorrow cold high temps 40s 50s. thunderstorms. hail likely today and also tomorrow would not surprise in the least. look at the temps though, dropping off the table here. santa rosa, concord, redwood city, san jose 53 5455. on the forecast. highs should be near 70 for san jose. mount vader's 35 oakland hills right above the claremont 41 boulder creek, santa cruz mountains 42. so 40 on the temps
5:12 am
are a few 30s to the north. sonoma is 39. middletown konocti is in there. upper lake, cloverdale, healdsburg, windsor. cold air is already in place. your highs may not get over about 50 or 51 today, so get ready. it's on its way. it'll be with us today. all day. cold rain today. then the coldest air arrives tonight into tomorrow. so i would prepare for rain. maybe some low snow levels in the hills. santa cruz mountains tonight into tomorrow. >> thank you. steve a deadly hit and run in the south bay. what witnesses tell us as police announced an arrest in that case. and in the south bay, the congressional primary election battle with almost all of the votes counted is a tie. >> so what happens next in this tough, hotly contested race for a seat in congress
5:13 am

5:16 am
everything on the line, and the voters in north carolina know how to show up. >> now, in fundraising, the biden campaign continues to outpace the trump campaign. the trump campaign says it raised $65 million in march and ended the month with $93 million in its campaign fund. the biden campaign has not reported its fundraising for march yet, but it ended february with $155 million on hand. and that was before raising $26 million last month at a gala in new york city . >> ktvu has confirmed that aaron peskin san francisco board of supervisors president, will run for mayor. peskin tells us he will file paperwork on friday and make an official announcement at portsmouth square on saturday. the supervisor claims his political experience and community connections would help him lead the city through recovery. he also says he wants to focus on plans to address homelessness, the drug crisis and affordable housing. peskin served two terms as supervisor from 2000 to 2009,
5:17 am
and was elected again in 2015. other candidates in the race to unseat mayor london breed include supervisor asha sapphire, former supervisor mark farrell, who was appointed mayor after the death of former mayor ed lee and philanthropist daniel lurie. >> well, after counting votes for a month now, there is a tie for second place in the race to succeed retiring south bay congresswoman anna eshoo. silicon valley assembly member evan lowe and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian both have exactly 30,249 votes. now, there's been a tight margin the whole time. votes were counted as the two battle to see who's going to face former san jose mayor sam liccardo in november. while the tie is not yet official, the period for counting ballots has ended. both san mateo and santa clara county spent the last few weeks double checking any ballots with signatures that were missing or did not match the final vote. to
5:18 am
bring it back to a tie between simitian and evan lowe came from cured ballots and a tie in that second spot means both of the candidates will likely be moving on to the general election. >> if it is a dead heat, then both candidates move forward to the november general election, and there will be a three way race for the congressional seat. >> the numbers are the numbers we certify to the secretary of state, all the certification, the paperwork, everything is already on their way to the state. >> now, the staff for both simitian and lowe spent yesterday at the santa clara county registrar of voters office inspecting every ballot. either one could ask for a recount, but any campaign that asked for that recount would have to pay for it. and the price tag is about $500,000. both of the campaigns say they're waiting for the certified results to announce what they will do next. >> golden gate park turns 154 years old today, and san
5:19 am

5:20 am
a third of an inch to 8/10 of an inch. that'll be some pretty good gusts. i think. but low snow levels, not only here but also in the mountains as well. highs will be unseasonably cool today. good. 15, maybe 20 degrees below average. thunderstorms are likely with hail today and tomorrow. accumulating snow 4000ft looks like a given. 3000ft snow likely. and then 2000ft possible. here we'll ask you. somebody sneeze over there, okay, snow forecast. i just wanted to put the placerville at 1800 feet, and they're looking for two inches of snow. colfax is just over 2400. they're looking for two. so 5080, it won't matter. snow levels coming way down. so are the temps. santa rosa, concord, redwood city, san jose, 53, 54, 55 on the forecast highs. amazingly cool for this time of year. it's the lows. some of you already put your garden in. some of the agricultural interests need to know what's how cold is it going to get? saturday morning looks to be the coldest 33 in napa now santa rosa. it depends on if
5:21 am
you're in a wind protected area, if there's cloud cover, if there's any breeze, these probably won't happen. but it will be cold in gilroy down to 36. antioch 39 should start to improve as we go into the weekend, and then sunday looks much better as we compared to saturday morning. mount diablo is 31 degrees, so snow there certainly likely unless that mixes out a little bit before the colder air arrives. 40s on most of the temps here or get ready. rains on the way. it's pushing in the first initial wave, and then the low will be over. so it's not only the front, it's the low, and that's the one that packs the punch. so look for rain today, a cold rain, possible thunderstorms with snow late tonight into tomorrow. low elevations there. >> all right. thank you steve. well the latest on a push to restrict new smoke shops. the east bay city that will vote on a moratorium on granting new business licenses. and baseball season is starting again. how? one local minor league team is getting ready for openi d

6:20 am
close to look at that. my goodness what a just textbook upper low. dropping down along the coast is a january. no it's april my goodness april forward look at the thunderstorm activity just blowing up if you will out to the valley. rain has moved onshore. this is the part of the front. the cold. the upper low won't get here until tonight. it will be right over us. you can see a cold rain. i know bodega bay has rain. healdsburg, windsor. santa rosa has rain and about a 10th of an inch has fallen for some with to upper 30s and 40s on the temps. that's for this is unusual for april, as you can see santa cruz moving in now, moving onshore it looks like san francisco, san mateo coast. so we're getting on our way here out of the gate here. third of an inch to 8/10 of an inch. wouldn't be surprised with a little more for an isolated areas or two. wind will be rather cold as well. snow levels will be dropping tonight. tomorrow rainfall looks pretty good to me. i mean 8/10 of an inch. this system will have two prong attack, if you will, the front and then the upper low. but the upper low is just so cold and unstable. dynamic that it's going to
6:21 am
trigger not only below average high temps, but thunderstorms. i mean, it's just almost a slam dunk here. hail likely, but record cool high temps today and low snow levels for sure. 4000ft. snow likely at three inches. possible snow even down to 2000. and i say that because placerville is at 1867 elevation and they're looking for two inches of snow, colfax at 24 is looking for two. so that tells you how cold this air mass will be for 30s and 40s on the temps. 150 or 2 50s, sfo and half moon bay. but this low will be with us all day today, tonight into tomorrow morning to back to december like that's for sure. off and on. rain a cold rain temps will be well below seasonal averages. >> all right thank you steve. looking for solutions to the shortage of health care workers in the bay area. the free nursing program now available in sonoma and contra costa county that many students are calling a game changer. and he weighs more than 1,000 pounds. but he is just a year old. take a look at

two of the right lanes. so expect that backup to grow over time. taking a look at the south bay commute, things here look pretty good. and elsewhere in the bay area, there aren't too many other problems. so san mateo bridge traffic getting a little bit slow that may be affected as the morning goes on because of that crash on 101, once you get to the peninsula bay bridge toll plaza looking crowded, you can also see a little bit of rain drizzle at least starting to come down in this triple. a traffic camera. the pavement looks a little wet there, so be careful. out in the road is expected to be a very rainy morning and day as you heard steve say. well, the oakland a's still plan to move to las vegas, but the a's will reportedly have a new temporary home next season. >> ktvu bailey o'carroll is here in the studio now to tell us about reports the a's may be packing up and then heading up interstate 80. good morning. that's right. >> good morning to both of you. the a's reportedly finalizing a deal to move to sacramento temporarily. this, according to a well-known sacramento sports radio host. so the a's would

6:39 am
it's the other way around. unseasonably cool. it deserves the attention that it's going to get because this is not something we see too often around here, especially in early april. so the rain has begun to the north, lots of lightning out in the valley. i think we'll see more of that. this system is swinging onshore already to the north. we've had about a 10th of an inch. mendocino county moving into lake county, cloverdale, healdsburg, windsor, santa rosa, bodega bay, all reporting some rain. moving onshore into marin county southward. now now moving over san pablo bay. moving into oakland, san francisco, the peninsula, and a pretty close to the santa cruz santa cruz mountains area. it's a cold system, i think a third of an inch to 8/10 would probably cover it. cold wind 235, maybe 40mph and low snow levels. the coldest air arrives tonight. tomorrow morning. okay, a lot of confusion on that tonight. tomorrow morning. so a pretty good rainfall. most locations should be around a third to, i think three quarters of an inch. well below average high temps will probably set a record for what's called the oakland sounding. that's where they send up the weather balloon to get
6:40 am
data on the atmosphere. records go back for oakland to 1948. this might be the coldest ever for april 4th. i think it's in that category at least. close thunderstorms with hail likely and snow 4000ft for sure. snow likely at 3000 and possible. snow even 2000ft or lower. i say that because placerville is at 1867ft, and the models are forecasting two inches of snow there with two inches of colfax. when it gets down that low, that's serious 30s for a few 40s for most on the temps here. the low was here today, tonight and tomorrow saturday morning. critical minimums are possible. some of you agricultural interests or if you just put your garden in me, you could see some cold temps here. just a heads up on saturday morning. watch napa 33. so there you go. so just a there's going to be some cold lows saturday morning. it looks better sunday though. so back to december like off and on rain cloudy cold system, possible thunderstorms. low snow levels tonight. tomorrow okay
