cruz. this is where the rain is light in intensity, but it is creating some slick conditions this morning. the wider view will show you that much of the rain is aimed at the central coast and into the central valley. that's where the heaviest rain is falling this morning. we're just kind of on the northern fringe of some of these light showers right now. but through the day today and tomorrow, we have scattered showers because low pressure will be nearby us. so we'll have a slight chance of thunder here tomorrow. and even tomorrow morning could have some snow, a dusting on our highest peaks. so here's future weather as we go. hour by hour by 9 a.m. still, we're tracking light rain kind of on the southern third of the bay area. but into the afternoon we actually see the clouds depart for a bit of sunshine. by 4 p.m. it's totally sunny out here, but the clouds fill back on later this evening, and we do have more chances of scattered showers tonight. first thing tomorrow morning. there you can see a chance of a dusting of snow on places like mount hamilton. so looking at the forecast today, we have scattered showers. that's

the removal of democratic lawmaker al green from the house chamber. >> remove this gentleman from the chamber. >> the speech comes the same day trump enacted 25% tariffs on mexico and canada, and doubled his tariff on chinese goods to 20%, sparking concerns of a trade war. >> tariffs are about making america rich again and making america great again. they'll be a little disturbance, but we're okay with that. >> trump has made a whirlwind of moves since his inauguration, including firing thousands of federal workers in an effort to reduce the size of the federal government. >> will be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars. and to that end, i have created the brand new department of government efficiency, which is headed by elon musk, who is in the gallery tonight. >> several of those fired federal workers attended the speech as guests of democratic lawmakers. their party's rebuttal, delivered by michigan senator elissa slotkin.

>> america wants change, but there is a responsible way to make change and a reckless way, and we can make that change without forgetting who we are as a country. >> slotkin is a freshman senator from michigan, and her remarks come as democrats search for a united and compelling answer to trump. she won a competitive race in november in a state that trump also carried. and she said that the goal of her speech was to, quote, level with the american people. reporting at the capitol. i'm julia benbrook. >> speaker nancy pelosi was among many wearing pink and protests last night. the democratic women's caucus called on women to wear pink because it's the color of power and protest. pelosi stayed for all of trump's speech shortly after, she issued a statement calling the speech, quote, a manifesto of mistruths. and she writes, democrats will continue to lead the fight against president trump's bait and switch assault on america, while republicans

stand and applaud it. >> the next wave of federal layoffs could be at the irs. the agency reportedly drafting plans to eliminate up to half its staff as part of the trump administration's effort to slash the federal workforce. this morning, we're hearing from researchers in the bay area impacted by recent layoffs in a different agency. heather welch, matt kohler, and alison cluett worked for the national oceanic and atmospheric administration until thursday. their team provided critical data to groups that manage our coasts, everything from predicting the location of whales to help avoid deadly collisions with ships, to identifying threats to salmon. they say their work touched almost every species along our coast, from great white sharks to the seafood we eat, seafood we eat. now they're fearful for what these layoffs mean for climate change studies. >> and so now that i'm no longer at noaa, i was the person that was running the tool and keeping it operational. and it's unclear who's going to carry that forward. >> so i would say we are losing our ability to be nimble and

public safety problem. >> if we don't have cars, it's harder for us, obviously, to respond. you don't want cops sitting in the station right when they could be out patrolling, right? and especially at night. >> we asked sfpd if the state of the fleet prevents officers from responding to crime. the department says no. and added, as the department's fleet vehicles age out, the department works to acquire the newest and state of the art vehicles to ensure officers and the community are safe. now a possible reason for the delay. sfpd vehicles are serviced by the city's central shops, and that means that repairs cannot be made by just any mechanic in the city. >> the supreme court's conservative majority handed san francisco a win against the epa. and this is all over clean water. the case focused on sewage permits issued under the clean water act. san francisco wanted the environmental protection agency to clarify regulations over discharging raw sewage into the bay and ocean
