welcome back. this morning there are lots of reports of stormy conditions and slick roadways to start off your sunday and your spring. overnight wind and rain has kept emergency crews business s for hours and just hours ago emergency crews acted more like lumberjacks as they work to chop up and remove 30- to 40-foot tree near cesar chavez in san francisco. the tree was ten feet around and may have hit a taxi that was driving in the slow lane. it is unclear whether anyone was injured as a result of that fallen tree. fallen trees also causing damage near the stadium in san francisco. this car smashed up pretty badly when a tree came crashing through the roof and onto the windshield. the wind also brought down this

hotel sign in the city. it came crashing down onto the sidewalk. we're told no one was injured by the falling sign. that is a good thing because folks passing by had enough to deal with just walking down the street with the wind blowing back their umbrellas. meteorologist nick o'kelly the tracking the wild weather from our studio this morning. lots of green on the radar behind you. >> so lit up, isn it, chris? a very powerful storm. we had a confirmed report of 58-mile-per-hour gusts in san francisco. so this was packing a punch. we suspect even stronger winds were blowing through the santa cruz mountains. so likely a i little bit of falling tree activity in that area as well. the main brunt of the storm has now shifted to the south and to the southeast. you can still see a lot of shower activity moving in from the southwest. as we go through the day today and see a hint of sunshine peeking through. i think that's going to destabilize things a little more and we'll look for isolated thundershowers and maybe, just

so-called roid rage when demanding the know the whereabouts of his former girlfriend, kimberly bell. the judge ruled the voice mails are not relevant. and we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." still to come, the city of santa clara plays a game of hide-and-seek with development funds. how the 49ers could benefit from that shell game. plus, the city of san francisco has taken on plastic bottles and fast food and is now getting ready for battle against the yellow pages.

invest redevelopment funds in the quest to bring 49ers to town. lawmakers will consider a deal at a meeting tomorrow night. the plan would give $4.5 million in new stadium money to the 49ers to make sure that it is used for construction. the deal would let lawmakers skirt around the governor's plan to steer funds towards education programs instead. money give on the team they say is ultimately investing in new jobs and tax dollars for the school district. san francisco board of supervisor david chu's proposal to limit the distribution of yellow pages is turning into a political headache. the proposal would require yellow page distributors to ask residents and businesses where they want a copy before dropping it off. the chief says the proposal would reduce waste and city costs as well. opponents of the proposal say many small businesses depend on yellow pages ads for their

now what? the legislature passed a budget $12 billion out of whack. for more, our political observer nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston. so we passed the budget, $12 billion out of whack. so what's the point? well, it's a two-step process. this is a tough one. we've been talking about a budget that's got a hole of about $26 billion. i mean, countries don't have budgets that big. that's just our budget hole. so what's happened is that's about 30% of the entire state budget if we were to go ahead

with that $85 billion. so we have to do something about it. what happens? well, democrat jerry brown went to the legislature and said please make some cuts, painful, painful cuts. they did make those cuts in welfare, education, transportation, a variety of programs cut out about $14 billion of the gap all together. but they still are $12 billion short. where does that come from? the temporary tax that the governor has asked the legislature to put on the ballot. continued tax increases on income, sales and motor vehicles. that's where we are. >> okay. why hasn't the legislature put that on? i mean, i think the answer is obvious. they don't want to tax. >> well, that's the tough one, okay? it's a political values issue, kris, as much as it is anything else. democrats say we can't make any more cuts. we're cut to the bone. we can't do anything more. please, please, please. republicans say unless you make

the form in pensions -- we've heard that a lot lately -- and in spending, you know, long-term spending caps, we're not going to go along with it. so there you have it. that's the rub, if you will, between the two sides. >> so how does this deadlock end, then? >> okay. look. it's tough. this is real tough politics for both sides. they have constituencies, they want to get re-elected. there are a lot of issues here. three new elements have come into the picture that i think may lead to some kind of shakedown, if you will, this week. first, republicans will be back from their statewide convention they had in sacramento. some want to just literally wait on this issue until after the convention to avoid criticism from fellow republicanser, personally very conservative republicans. they got the convention out of the way. second, the governor has called for a two-thirds vote to put this thing on the ballot. normally two-thirds votes are required to put it on the

ballot. a nonpartisan legislative analyst says this vote might require majority approval. well, the democrats have a solid majority so, if they go in that direction it might be enough to threaten republicans, come along or else. third, there was a pew poll released just the other day, kris, and that field poll shows voters voted for temporary tax base a solid margin, 56% to 39%. not as high as some like to be but that's a pretty good gap right now. any or all of these things could come into play over the next few days. just remember, you have to break this deadlock somehow but all of this about breaking the deadlock is allowing the public to decide whether to continue these taxes. so that's the other thing that must be weighing hard on republicans right now. >> okay. we'll see how this shakes out, then. obviously a lot at stake for both parties. >> a lot. >> thanks very much, larry. we'll be right back with another

look at a wild weekend forecast.

good morning, everybody. i'm nick o'kelly filling in for rob. the heaviest stuff has pushed off to the east and the south. we'll continue to see those showers throughout the tay today. there might be a couple isolated thunderstorms. not a whole lot of wind at san francisco international. so we've got a little bit of clearing right here onshore. you may see some sun breaks today. if anything, that will destabilize the atmosphere and

bring isolated thunderstorms and maybe small hail. temperatures today mainly in the mid-50s, 58 palo alto, 55 tub lin. the winds will be in the 15- to 25-mile-per-hour range at times this morning but then should settle down this afternoon and this evening. 55 in concord, 5 in cantfield. maybe a few peeks of sunshine. those clouds will be with us for most of the next seven days. here's the seven-day forecast. if there were any good chance to find some drier weather this coming week i think it's going to be tuesday. we'll just be looking for isolated showers that day, but it's going to be an active weather week ahead with another strong storm on wednesday into thursday and then again into saturday. kris? >> thank you very much. thanks for making us a part of your morning. we'll have more local news coming up at 5:00, 6:00, and 11:00. check for news all day long on nbcbayarea.com.
