4:20 am
think we'll start to see the temps start to trickle down here a little bit. there's really not a strong offshore breeze. it's an onshore breeze. san francisco , oakland, berkeley hills a little bit offshore in the higher elevations. that would include mount veeder, which is a warm 61 north at 14, but right above the claremont. they're 52 southwest at 11. so there's a little bit of give and take there, 40s, 50s on the temps. i don't think these will change all that much, maybe a few low 40s, but a lot of upper 40s or low 50s. north dublin, castro valley and 47 orinda's and 47 and pinole has dipped to 48 low 60s, though pittsburgh and brentwood, so they'll have no problem getting into the mid 80s today. 30 for flagstaff to 35 in south lake tahoe, 41, arcadia to 61 and sandy. so high pressure win out. it's not that strong though. but this time of year days are long. it doesn't take much and we will see temps jump up, but really nothing we can't handle. it would just be a quick little pop here and then anything developing now not less up in the pacific northwest or maybe up in the mountains. quiet for us. i'm on record as saying
4:21 am
i thought we'd have one more rain after that big system we had on the fourth. you know, it'll probably show up in june, but i'm just two for tuesday. sunny and warmer after some low clouds from about the city. san mateo coast down to santa cruz. i don't think that will last too long. 6070. >> all right. thank you. time now, 420. the fda has decided to allow a brain chip company to implant the device into a second patient. we tell you why the agency gave the company the green light, even after it failed in the first person. >> steph and ayesha curry's foundation continues to make a difference at local schools. we're going to take you to the school that now as

4:47 am
crimes. losaria henderson is executive director of next door solutions, a domestic violence advocacy agency in san jose. she says being discreet and having a plan before leaving an abusive relationship is vital to a person's survival. in the domestic violence world. one of the things we talk about is, is this a relationship that's safe to leave? because for those of us not in an abusive relationship, it might be hard to end a relationship, but it is safe to leave. ab 3127 will also require doctors not to report to police unless the patient asks them to do so. the bill has already passed in the assembly and is now in the senate. if you or someone you know needs help or more information, you can go to ktvu.com and click the link for this story. lamonica peters ktvu, fox two news lamonica. >> time is 447. california health care workers are going to have to wait a little longer before they see a rise in their minimum wage. last year,

5:03 am

5:10 am
what's there is solid. so i think those those locations will stay in the 60s, but today will be the warmest day of the week here for many temps will move above average, but really not that much. we're just jumping up a little bit san rafael, walnut creek, palo alto, los gatos, 80, 85, 84, 82. in the forecast, highs will we start to cool down tomorrow? yeah, sure. looks like it. i think today is the warmest day. in fact, there's a big fog bank in our near future. if it isn't on wednesday, it'll be there thursday for sure. and taking us into a cooler weekend. there's still an onshore breeze in the city, so i'm undercutting all the forecast highs today. i just think, you know, this this spring is favored. cool versus warmer even out to pittsburgh now with a west wind. now there's a little northerly breeze in some of the higher elevations but 40s 50s on the temps. kind of cool here. santa rosa is 45 degrees. menlo park 47. fremont is at 49. napa airport 49. even fairfax in there. sonoma 46. rohnert park at 45. then you can find some mid 40s up in upper lake and ukiah. the coolest temp i've seen so far is down in hollister
5:11 am
at a cool 4227 truckee 34, south lake tahoe 31, in flagstaff 40. arcata to 52. down in monterey. after today, though, another system is going to dig in to the north. that will open the door and allow that fog bank to come screaming in. but today, unless you're on the san mateo coast or santa cruz area, it will be warmer 80s inland. but again, it just doesn't look like it's that big of a pop. but if you're well enough inland, some mid 80s are likely. probably just drizzle for us. could be a few isolated thundershowers up in the mountains over the next 5 to 7 days, especially as we head towards the weekend. two for tuesday is sunny and warmer for most. there's some low clouds, thick low clouds, south 60s 70s on the temps and then 80s inland. but fog starts to creep back tomorrow and then a big surge thursday into the weekend. >> all right steve thank you. time is 511 in oakland. a new campaign is launching. we'll tell you about plans to bring more people, more foot traffic to lake merritt this summer. taking vitamins may affect prescription medicine up next, we talk with our fox medical
5:14 am
5:15 am
however, health care professionals warn combining supplements with prescription medications can cause some dangerous side effects. fox medical teams beth galvin joins us now to talk about this. good morning. beth, many doctors recommend us to take vitamin d, things like b12. so what are the supplements we should worry about and interacting with prescriptions? >> well, good morning, pam. so i think it really depends on, you know, the medications that you're taking, the prescription medications or over-the-counter medications that you're taking and what you're taking them for. and so it's really important to have that conversation with your doctor if you're going to try something new. but so, for example, if you're on a prescription, blood thinner, to lower your risk of stroke or, you know, other complications like that, or you're taking aspirin, which is also an over-the-counter blood thinner, you want to avoid supplements like very common supplements like garlic, ginkgo, ginseng, vitamin e, even glucosamine because all of those can have
5:16 am
blood thinning effects. and that can raise your risk if you're combining two things at once, doing the same thing of having internal bleeding or even having a bleeding type stroke. another thing is, you know, if you're on an antidepressant, you want to avoid saint john's wart, which some people take sort of as a natural antidepressant, because combining a prescription antidepressant with saint john's wart can cause serotonin levels to increase very quickly to dangerous levels for you. and then the same thing with saint john's wart may affect how other medications, risk it and how effective they are. so if you're taking saint john's wart, it can make taking birth control pills less effective. it can make organ transplant medications, heart medications, hiv aids medications less effective. so it's just really sort of about knowing what you're taking and what might cause a problem. and that's really a conversation. i think, with your health care provider. same thing with someone who's taking metformin for diabetes. they don't want to then be taking goldenseal a
5:17 am
supplement because that can make the medication for diabetes less effective. so pam, it's sort of like, you know, these combinations, you know, i could probably list all day different combinations that can be problematic. but it's really about what you're taking for what you're taking it and mixing something new in there. >> well, over whelming. there's so many things that i hadn't even thought about and common medications like you're saying. so what is the best way to tackle this? make sure that you list all supplements, like with your doctor, with your pharmacist. what should we do? >> yeah. you know, i talked to a pharmacist about this and he said, i really kind of want to know everything that you're taking, so put it all out there. so even if you don't think you know, a vitamin or mineral really matters, it can matter when we talk about drug interactions, because those are drugs too, you know, even though they're natural supplements. so in the vast majority of people, that's going to be safe and no problem. but if you're taking multiple medications, you want
5:18 am
to make sure that adding something new into your repertoire that you check with your health care provider first, make sure that that's, you know, okay, you're not at risk of having any kind of an interaction. and you should be good to go. >> pam, if you have that conversation with your doctor, does that information get to the pharmacist or should you also discuss with the pharmacist? >> so i don't know that it will necessarily get to the pharmacist because you're not, you know you're not. the pharmacist isn't filling it. if you're buying it over the counter and you do want to be careful about over the counter medications too. we're talking about supplements. but over the counter medications can also cause problems, because sometimes you'll have two different medications that have the same active ingredient. and you'll get kind of too high a dose at the active ingredient. if you're looking at prescription and over-the-counter, for example, acetaminophen, you know, which can be problematic, if you get too much of that for your liver. so it's really, i think, about updating both the pharmacist and your doctor if you're starting to take something new. and really, if you don't want to go
5:19 am
and take time to go see the doctor, talk to your pharmacist at your local drugstore, ask them, hey, i'm thinking about taking a, b or c, is this a good idea? if i'm already you know, if you see what? i'm already taking great advice because i know you can make an appointment with the pharmacist, beth galvin with our fox medical team. >> thank you so much. very important information. thank you. >> thank you, pam, and thank you, beth thomas 518. one of southern california's most popular tourist spots, getting ready for what's expected to be a very busy memorial day weekend. the drought took a big toll on big bear lake in san bernardino county over the years. the lake had attracted huge numbers of summertime crowds, but the lake is now back at its highest level in a dozen years, thanks to two years of winter rain and snow. >> and what that means is that we've got, you know, boating, paddle boarding, ski due season is upon us. and that also means that because we've had so much
5:20 am
wonderful rainfall this year, the hiking trails and all of the flora and fauna and bloom. >> and the latest survey found the water level at big bear lake has climbed more than 14ft since december of 2022. >> all right, great year for water sports. >> yeah for sure you're ready. >> including river rafting, which people will have to be careful. it'll be pretty intense this year. all this good weather news. >> i imagine that we always big bears full. lake tahoe is now considered full for the first time since 2019. shasta's full and oroville all full. >> so great fun. >> yes, but you're right on the on the rafting, pamela. that's going to be pretty cold. fast water, some fog, half moon bay, south santa cruz, monterey. and you know that santa cruz yesterday was only 66. i'd be surprised if there were any warmer really than that. so again, most of this warmer today will be for inland areas, but coast and bay, i think it'll just be gradual. my forecast highs are cooler than most, but
5:21 am
i bought into it for inland because it doesn't really take too much this time of year. 40s 50s on the temps here 48 in clayton, pinole at 45 you go. pinole, orinda at 46 degrees, castro valley's at 46. but pittsburg and brentwood both upper 50s. there's really not a strong breeze. i mean, there isn't some of the higher elevations, but it's an onshore breeze for many, especially in san francisco, at least so far. truckee 27, south lake tahoe 34. after today, another low is going to drop in and that will open the door to a stronger sea breeze a little bit tomorrow and then really rushing in with a cooldown. but today inland temps will take a jump up a little bit above average. if you are heading to the mountains, there's going to be a pretty big change. cool and windy wise as we head to the weekend. could be some isolated activity it looks like around carson pass or just keep an eye on things if you're going up to town. so your two for tuesday. sunny and warmer. although there's some pretty good thick fog. san mateo coast down to santa cruz, which i think will keep them in the 60s

5:33 am
22 was backed and funded by those companies. now, as contractors, drivers are supposed to have more flexibility with their work schedules, but it also means they're not legally entitled to things like minimum wage, overtime or sick leave. some rideshare drivers and state union representatives are now challenging the legality of prop 22, on the grounds that they argue that some worker rights, like making sure people are paid a minimum wage, should be determined by state law regarding of what voters decide through ballot initiatives, the california supreme court will have the final say on the legality of prop 22. now, ahead of the hearing and the arguments later this afternoon, there will be a group of gig workers, rideshare drivers, delivery drivers and others who will be driving up from southern california, and they'll be watching and listening to the oral arguments outside the california supreme court ahead of the hearing today. live in san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, ali. thank you. time's

the macarthur maze traffic still looks pretty good though, and we haven't had a lot of slow traffic. unusually slow traffic on highway four. it's a little bit congested coming over the hill to concord westbound, which is what you would expect at this time of the morning at 618. what can we expect today in the weather department here, steve. >> lots of sunshine. alicia, i think you're on the santa cruz coast sound. there's dealing a lot of fog there. but if you're under clear skies, the lows, i mean, these are cool. low for a cool lows for us, for this time of year. hollister dropped to 41. morgan hill, 42 pinole, woodside, san anselmo and rohnert park, all at 44 orinda, 45 pacifica and palo alto, along with others, dropped to 46 cool degrees, but the arrows are up on the forecast highs today. san rafael to 80, walnut creek to 85, palo alto to 84, and los gatos from 78 to 82. this does look like the warmest day of the week, and there's not really a strong breeze at all. so by tomorrow, i think we start to see that trend go down, and by thursday, the fog will come
6:20 am
roaring back. although if you're on the san mateo coast, santa cruz coast, you're saying we already have fog? i know, but for most, a little northerly breeze maybe is turned for some. but most locations, i mean, the breeze is really just not much of a factor right now. it's either onshore or slightly offshore in the higher elevations. still, some fog about san mateo coast south. there might be a little bit around the city, but not too much. most of it. santa cruz looks sold out there. 40s, 50s. petaluma is down to 44 degrees already 60 in vacaville, brentwood, 61, walnut creek is at 51 menlo park. there's another 46 degree reading, rohnert park, 44 degrees. also san anselmo, ross, fairfax, novato and their point reyes also in there, of course, upper lake and ukiah. so a little chill in the morning air here. but 25 in truckee, 38 now arcata and eureka. my goodness has been a cold month for them up there. 49 santa barbara to 59 in san diego after today, though, it looks like another low will dig into the pacific northwest. intermountain region. the tail
6:21 am
end of that will dip back towards the west and that will allow cooler weather to kick in. but today it's warmer, especially inland bayside, another system though, drops in. we'll get the cooler and the breeze. maybe a little bit of activity up in the mountains on the weekend. so if you're going up there, just keep an eye on things. by that, i mean thunderstorms, patchy morning, low clouds, about half moon bay south to santa cruz, monterey, but it will be sunny and warmer for most 60s 70 coast to maine, then 80s inland, but after today, i think the trend is to start to ratchet it down and really bring it down, especially friday into the weekend. >> teachers on the peninsula vote to go on strike. what they're demanding from the school district, and the response from the superintendent. >> plus, it should be in the elvis family always a legal battle battle over graceland and the home of elvis presley could be up for auction. >> but the presley family says it's all a sha

6:34 am
it did was classify a rideshare drivers and delivery drivers for companies like uber, lyft, doordash and instacart as independent contractors, not employees. now as contractors, drivers are supposed to have more flexibility with their work schedules, but it also means they are not legally entitled to things like minimum wage, overtime or sick pay. now some rideshare drivers and state union representatives are challenging prop 22. their argument some worker rights, like making sure people are paid a minimum wage, should be determined by state law, not by voters. regardless of what happens with a ballot initiative. now, arguments in the case will be heard today. and while it is going on here in san francisco, a group of rideshare and delivery drivers are on their way from southern california to san francisco. they will join up with another couple about 100 or 1 to 200 delivery drivers. and members of this gig workers union that will be meeting in front of the

6:39 am
to sal castaneda. you're busy now, aren't you? >> yeah, it's getting busier out there, for sure. a few, maybe about a half hour ago, we were looking at the richmond-san rafael bridge, for example, and our triple a traffic camera showed that there wasn't much traffic. well, more people are arriving here. i still think you have an opportunity to get there before the huge crowd does, but there's already a slowdown. likewise with highway four, it's beginning to fill in through pittsburg bay point and concord. at least it's an ordinary commute. westbound 80 as you drive through the macarthur maze looks all right, but the bay bridge does have a little bit of a backup. in the bay area, bridges are getting more crowded, like this one. the san mateo bridge and also the dumbarton bridge. also, if you're in fremont this morning, waking up just turning the tv on fremont boulevard at thornton, we have a major intersection blocked for an investigation of a crash that happened overnight. as you know, that's a centerville district, huge area. and it's going to put a lot of people don't be late to school
6:40 am
or anything because of that, this closure, it's going to put a lot of city streets into use here because thornton at fremont, right now closed for an investigation. 639 let's bring steve back in with today's weather. all right, sal, thank you, sir. >> we'll get to a warmer pattern today. but first, it's a little chill in the morning air. for may 21st, hollister dropped to 41. morgan hill was close at 42 pinole, woodside, san anselmo, rohnert park, orinda, pacifica and palo alto, all between 44 and 46. cool degrees for this time of year. i mean, the lows have been cool. this has to be one of the cooler springs that we've had in a long time, but we will bump it up a little bit today. san rafael, walnut creek, palo alto, los gatos into the 80s. we go. i think today is the warmest day, though i think by tomorrow will start to ease up a little bit and downshift into some slightly cooler temps, warmer inland and probably bayside today. fog is not far away. there's already some on the san mateo coast, down to santa cruz and monterey, but
6:41 am
otherwise we're looking pretty good. a little bit of a breeze, but nothing, you know, no screaming offshore wind or anything like that. it has turned a little northerly for some, but still westerly for others. so i think that's the breeze is really kind of a push here. there's really not much of one, but the fog there, half moon bay down to santa cruz, monterey. i don't think they were warming up all that much. 40s, 50s on the temps, although vacaville, brentwood are already in the 60s there, they won't have any problem getting into the mid upper, maybe a few upper 80s that far, but that's really outside my forecast zone. vacaville. it's close, but it's on the border, 40s and 50s on the temps there. 27 truckee 31, south lake tahoe, 70 in las vegas, flagstaff 34 cold degrees. truckee 27 in alturas or excuse me, our arcade and eureka down to 38. that's cold. one low kicks out the high. really? it's more just about week high pressure today. this time of year it's easy to jump up on those inland temps. so high pressure winds at at least inland and coast and bay probably won't jump all that much. they'll be in the 60s 70s. but today will be a warmer day. system though. will dig in to
6:42 am
the north. we'll get the western edge of it. that'll start on thursday. friday and that means cooler weather. maybe some drizzle for us. could be some isolated shower activity up into the mountains. carson pass area is being highlighted two for tuesday, sunny and warmer for most. it's just too much fog down on parts about half moon bay down to santa cruz, but fog south. sunny and warmer. 60s 70s 80s. looks like we start to ease up a little. thursday wednesday and then for sure thursday into friday for a much cooler pattern into the weekend. >> all right steve, thank you. time 641 guess what george lucas, the legendary bay area filmmaker, just turned 80 years old and he's celebrating. we'll show you who went to his star studded party in marin county
