8:31 am
little bit. we'll we'll dig into the history books to find that. but welcome back to mornings on two on this saturday. i'm frank mallicoat and i'm claudine wong. >> let's talk to meteorologist rosemary oroczo about this forecast. april showers are supposed to bring may flowers. march had so much rain though the question is can people bring out their patio and their summer stuff? or should we just leave it where it is for now, even though it's going to be nice this week? >> yes. well, you know, i put away the winter boots and i refused to bring those back out, even though i have to wear a coat over my spring dresses. so i'm going to say bring out the furniture. but, you know, we are likely to see a few more scattered showers now. this last system that was a winter storm. we had snow levels all the way down to 1500ft. and the temperatures this morning quite cold and even a frost advisory. and to answer frank's question, it was back in november when we were into the upper 70s for some of our locations, giving you a look there at the golden gate bridge, where we do have mostly sunny skies, turning partly
8:32 am
cloudy this afternoon, and then mostly cloudy by tonight. i'll explain more on that. coming up, let's check in on the current conditions where until about 9:00 this morning, that frost advisory continues. so make sure you protect your pets, your plants of course people out there just be aware that it is a cold one, even a little bit colder than yesterday. in some spots, 37 degrees in the north bay of santa rosa for the inner east bay, 39 in livermore and around the bay 46 in oakland. 50 sfo. let's shift into the north bay. take a look at a few more numbers here, where we're still 37 degrees in sebastopol. 39 sonoma the inner east bay, 39 in dublin, 40 degrees in alamo. so those are the current temperatures into the afternoon. we're going to be below average, ranging from upper 50s to low 60s. i'll have a look at those numbers. plus the possibility of a few sprinkles tomorrow before that big warm up arrives. more on this in the extended forecast coming up. >> we'll see you in a bit. thank you. rosemary, in just a couple of days, total solar eclipse
8:33 am
will cross through north america, passing over mexico, the u.s. and eventually canada. >> thousands of spectators are traveling near and far to view or try to view this rare phenomenon that happens on monday. let's go to fox weather's max gordon joins us now from cleveland, ohio. flew out there from san francisco. this was supposed to be a place that people said would be a great view, but still a little up in the air. i'm sure people are putting in their orders now to say, come on, clouds stay away for the day. yeah we are in the path of totality here in cleveland, ohio. >> it's going to be between 3:13 p.m. local time in 317. that's when the moon is going to completely block out the sun. the big question, though, is will mother nature cooperate? because right now it looks like there's some cloud cover in the forecast. and that's going to be a big bummer for a lot of people. according to the city of
8:34 am
cleveland, between 140,000 and 200,000 people are going to be converging on cleveland for this event. they're going to be cool events all over town. we've got the cleveland or the great lakes science center. we've got the rock and roll hall of fame, everywhere they're having these cool events where people can go and, you know, hang out, do some science themed events, things like that, of course, for the city of cleveland, this is going to be a huge economic boon as well, and then the cleveland police force, they are going to be out in force at every sworn officer with cleveland pd is going to be on the streets on monday, making sure that everybody stays safe. a lot of street closures are planned. it's going to be really a big hoopla here in downtown cleveland. and then adding to that, there's going to be a guardian game that's going to be kicking off at 510 local time. it is going to be their home opener here. so it's just going to be a lot going on here in the city of cleveland. but again, really the big question is will
8:35 am
we be able to see that eclipse, that total eclipse. it's going to get dark no matter what. it's going to feel like nighttime for about four minutes there. but will we be seeing the moon pass over the sun? well, that's yet to be seen, but we'll have everything on fox weather so you can follow along, live and you can see it and stream it on the app, guys. >> all right, max, got to ask you that. that path of totality. how wide is that if your if your center cut. and on a personal note, did your parents get the birthday shout out? >> my parents texted me right after the birthday shout out. they said they loved it, you know, it's my dad's birthday today. my mom, her birthday is actually on the eighth, eclipse day, they were really excited. the path of totality is about 100 miles wide. might be a little bit wider than that, but, you know, it just, you know, the farther you are away from that, you know, the less the moon is
8:36 am
going to be blocking out the sun. i believe in los angeles, it's going to be about 49% totality. so the farther away you get from, the path of totality, it's just kind of the lights just going to get a little bit funny, you're just going to get sort of a, a partial eclipse. so i think in san francisco, i'm not sure the percentage, but, you know, the light is going to turn a little bit funny. you're still going to be able to see it, but you just have to wear those eclipse glasses, to make sure that you don't burn your retinas out. >> is there is there one town on that on that path that's going to have just crystal clear weather? cleveland is a little iffy. >> yeah, it's looking like indianapolis is going to be pretty good, so it looks like down to the south of us, in texas, where there were a lot of towns that were going to be holding events still are going to be holding events. austin, you know, looks like, we've got eagle pass, you know, various towns there that's going to be clouded over. and then when you
8:37 am
look in the northeast, that's also going to be clouded over. but there is sort of a section in the mid section of the country. indianapolis looks like a really good chance that that things could look pretty good there, but, you know, we'll just have to wait and see. we're kind of it looks like we're a little bit on that cusp here in cleveland. you know, maybe we might see some of those clouds burn off on monday, i don't know. i'm crossing my fingers. and i think a lot of folks hear about 200,000 folks here are crossing their fingers as well. >> that's all you can do, right? you can, you know, hope and wait. and really, it all moves. don't go chasing those clouds because they'll keep you on your toes and making sure that, yeah, you can only hope. especially if people have really invested in this, which i know a lot of people who have. all right, i'll be blowing. >> i'll go. >> yes, yes. >> remember cleveland rocks, max . so maybe you'll get a maybe you'll get an unfiltered view. >> rock on, max gordon. >> we appreciate it. >> good stuff. max. thank you.

9:05 am
team, that is for sure. >> can you guys tell me just your relationship and your history with baseball? i mean, why are you even doing this today, we're doing this because we're fans, brian and i met through baseball. we became friends with baseball in oakland, and our heart was broken when the a's said that they didn't want to be in the city. and this is just such a great baseball city. this is a city where baseball has brought the community together for years and years and years before the a's. and what we said is, look, if the a's don't want to be here, we do, and we're going to have a team that wants to be here, that wants to represent the people, that wants to bring the oakland community together. i couldn't have asked for a better day today. i mean, you got blue skies, kind of a cold, crisp in the air, sunny sky here. i mean, this is like the day like this perfect baseball weather here, you know, you've got about, i think, 65, close to 100 guys coming out here. 100 guys coming out here today, how do you make a selection, the good news is that we don't have to do that because we have really smart baseball coaches to do that. we've got micah franklin right over there, our manager. so we're going to leave the baseball decisions to the people who know more about baseball decisions than we do.
9:06 am
so you'll have to ask micah. >> sure, sure, sure. and just, you know, you know, there are a lot of guys who maybe haven't played in a couple years or haven't played maybe seriously in a couple of years who are trying to give this a shot. >> maybe, you know, a last ditch effort to kind of give a passion that they maybe have kept reserved for a while here. how do you have this conversation of just welcoming them and then, you know, at the end of the day, you know, what do you say to these guys who came on at first stretch? hydrate. you know, get loose. it's baseball is real. and then again, you know, good thing is brian, i don't have to have that difficult decision. you know we got we got you know 100 guys here. they're not all going to make it. you know, mike is going to have to sell some guys that their dream is done and, you know, it's that's a tough part about baseball, but we're looking for elite level athletes. we're looking for players that can contribute to the team. you know oakland likes a winner. and we want to put a winning product on the field. guys i really appreciate you joining me here this morning. thank you. best of luck to you. thank you so much. all things here at laney college expected to kick off in the next hour or so. >> maybe we'll meet some superstars coming up in just a

9:08 am
cameras from the state that read license plates on east bay highways in an effort to reduce violent crimes. >> time now. 907 search continues this morning for two kids who were last seen in mountain view overnight and are considered endangered. chp says nine year-old, daniel wu and four year-old david wu are believed to be with taylor wu pictured on your screen. they say the boys were taken by taylor from a home in mountain view around 130 early this morning. she was seen driving a blue 2018 ford escape, had a missouri license plate. the number is on your screen. that advisory was issued for both la and santa clara counties. anyone who knows about their whereabouts is urged to call 911. >> well, it's been 30 years since 12 year old polly klaas was kidnaped from her home during a slumber party and then killed. right now, richard allen davis is on death row for her murder, but davis is hoping to change that. >> his attorneys believe a legal loophole may entitle him to
9:09 am
resentencing. ktvu is an reuben has more. >> one of california's most notorious killers wants his death sentence overturned. it was back in 1996 that richard allen davis was convicted in the kidnaping and murder of 12 year old polly klaas. now he's back in court thanks to a change in the law. >> it's horrible. this should have ended 30 years ago. i had every expectation that once he went on death row, it was done. whether he was executed or not, it was finished. but here we are . >> marc klaas. polly's father, calls this revictimization the issue. a recent criminal justice reform law that invalidated certain sentencing enhancements. it may have opened the door to have cases like richard allen davis's reconsidered. >> and this is a big deal, not just for mr. richard allen davis, but for others on death row in california. >> legal analyst stephen clark says this will be a first test for the new law. >> will he get another shot at getting his death verdict overturned? even though the
9:10 am
technical issue is only these prison priors, which only added 1 or 2 years to his sentence, klaas says it should be a wake up call for other victims families that hundreds of cases could be impacted by what happens here. >> this case is the tip of the iceberg. it's going to happen again and again and again and again. and i'll tell you what's going to happen in some instances, some is going to get out. >> richard allen davis was not present for the hearing. neither his attorneys nor the sonoma county prosecutor's handling the case were willing to comment. i'm not going to make any statements on the record. >> it's affected my health. it's affected my mind. it affects everything. >> but for marc klaas, any resentencing is like reopening a wound. >> there's only one beneficiary from all of this. it's the guy on death row. it's the guy that murdered my kid. >> the next court appearance in this case is set for may 31st. that's the day the judge will decide whether this case is eligible for resentencing in santa clara county. and ruben ktvu, fox two news.

does anybody there know? >> not a soul there. what a thrilling home opener giants fans got to see yesterday at oracle park. sold out crowd watch thairo estrada double home matt chapman for the game winning run with an out in the bottom of the ninth. good stuff. all tied up and a walk off. the giants beat the padres 3 to 2 in that victory yesterday at oracle. this was the giants 25th opening day at the waterfront stadium in downtown san francisco. as we know as oracle. lots of changes this season. two giants have a new manager in bob melvin, the local guy, and some fresh faces, including cy young award winner blake snell and gold glover and former ace starter star matt chapman, a lot better than it has been in the past. >> it's been great to see new guys, new youth in there, the lineup and everything like this, so it's awesome. it's great.
9:15 am
>> giants are now three and five out of the gate. they will host padres again tonight. >> well, we're two days away from a phenomenon that has not taken place in the united states in seven years. and it's not going to happen again for another two decades. we are talking about the solar eclipse. the path of totality spans from mexico through texas, across the us towards the northeast, while those cities in its path will experience total darkness for a few minutes. people here in the bay area aren't going to get to see the total eclipse. instead see a partial eclipse. but there are still events being planned across the bay area to really talk all things eclipse and rosemary. we don't have to wait till monday. there's an event today with an interesting discussion about its cultural significance. >> yes, claudine. okay so the much anticipated solar eclipse, as we know, is monday. there's an event today in san francisco aimed at educating families about the eclipse and the various cultural meanings behind it. it's at the red poppy art house mission or in the mission.
9:16 am
that's where we find a nasa solar eclipse. ambassador luana melnick dos anjos. want to make sure i say that properly. hi, luana, good morning. >> hi. good morning everybody. >> thank you for joining us. so, luana, i think it's very interesting to note that throughout history for some this eclipse is kind of considered a disruption of natural order and in some cases a bad omen. and i love this idea of exploring the meaning of the eclipse in regard to different cultures. so let's start with one that is near and dear to your heart. the beliefs and thoughts. for those that, or at least for some that live in brazil. >> hi rosemary, thank you so much for having me here today. sure, well, so the guarani in brazil, they actually, veal an eclipse with fear. there experience of an eclipse over time has brought the belief that
9:17 am
the moon, during a total solar eclipse may bleed. and if drops of that blood fall on the imperfect village, they might be the end of everything. so they keep jk, jaguar rov, a blue dog under a hammock that will potentially leak the drops of this blood, and the shamans will do their rituals and dance. and that is in the effort to integrate this fear and that children are not allowed to look at the eclipse. and so tranquility returns to the tokoha, which is the, indigenous home. >> wow, that is so interesting. so for many of us, we're thinking, okay, the moon is going to pass between, you know, the sun and the earth. and when we get to see this cool eclipse. but for so many cultures, it's so much more. can you share maybe 1 or 2 more of what folks will learn there today? >> absolutely. yeah. so the mayan culture, according to milner. and by the way, ana
9:18 am
carolina, guarani, kiowa was the person who have shared this tradition from brazil with me and milner, from a mayan tradition, has shared that during a total solar eclipse, the mayans believe that the sun will be completely eaten by the moon. and when that happens, they have a big fear around that. and that they believe that kitchen utensils will come to life and will eat people. and so in that sense, what they do is they make a lot of noise. so that in in what will happen there is that with the noise will scare away the moon and the sun will begin to shine again. and what we also have is a tradition shared by greg castro from the ramaytush association, which is the unceded land which we are standing on and that shares the eclipse is not only a time where we, gather materials for basket making and for, also a really important time to
9:19 am
realize the interconnectedness between us and nature. and so it is not only an opportunity to remember that, but to take our place as stewards of our land. and so i really love this, cultural weaving of the scientific. right. a lot of the times we go into the scientific, realm, we think that we've had this enlightened view of nature. but the reality is that there is a lot of wisdom in the indigenous culture, not only in their interpretation of, natural phenomena, but also in the understanding that we're not separated from nature, but a part of it. >> oh, absolutely. and i love this event that you're holding for, for families to kind of build the excitement around this eclipse and really get children, you know, of course, excited about the whole thing. so in anticipation of the big event on monday, there are actually some watch parties and i think you actually know of a few that
9:20 am
you're going to help us out and let folks know that if they do get the opportunity, we will have partial view just after 11 a.m. i think about 35% here in the bay area. so where are some of those watch parties? if you could share? >> thank you so much for asking this. yes, absolutely. we have plenty going on. we are not on the path of the totality, but we're still going to be able to see up to 45% of it, weather permitting. and we're really exciting excited because it's also the year of the sun nasa is celebrating, so there is a lot for us to learn about our star and how to integrate that with the cultural aspect and indigenous science as well. so what we have going on here in the bay area, we have san francisco state university, sharing views, safe views of the sun on monday morning from ten to about 12, we also have the live stream from the exploratorium. we do have a viewing party at california academy of sciences, and we do have chabot, science center also sharing views with folks in the
9:21 am
east bay. so there was a lot to see on monday. >> love it. love it all. luana. thank you so much for joining us. i hope you have a wonderful event today. and if you would like to go to that event, it is from noon to 145 at the red poppy art house in the mission district in san francisco. it is free and it is family friendly. frank >> all right, rosemary, thank you for that. coming up, spring break season is here, and if you're struggling to figure out how to entertain the kids while they're home sweet home, the toy insider is joining us live for a look at this season's hottest toys aimed at keeping kids entertained. you won't want to miss it. and free food prices and garbage pickup. what a trio. that's what one organization is bringing to several neighborhoods in the bay area today that are in need of good publicity and a bit of a cleaning touch. more on the group behind the positive pull

9:57 am
that's been tied to the six month war. meantime, us military jets are stepping up their airdrops of food and other humanitarian aid to thousands of people living in northern gaza. the us is using parachutes to drop these much needed supplies, and the airdrops are now leading to a growing number of skirmishes on the ground among people who are desperate for food. the united nations is warning that a massive famine is imminent in gaza, as another tragedy is tied to the war, and religious institutions across the state are still waiting to hear if they're getting security grants promised to them by the state. >> following the start of that israel-hamas war, six months ago, back in october, the governor promised to quickly provide $40 million in grants for places of worship. but the recipients of the money have yet to be announced or notified today. cal oes said that the grant funding is still under final legal review, and while officials say announcements will be made soon, they did not provide a specific date simply, man joe patterson says he's been trying to help a jewish
