6:02 am
time we get to the afternoon. mostly cloudy for most of us pretty much all day. in the late afternoon, there will be showers. there won't be a lot, and it may be confined to the north bay, but we'll see how this plays out the next two days in more detail. mid 70s inland. upper 60s in the bay. i'll see you in a few minutes in the complete forecast, devin. >> thanks. this is a live look at san francisco. the city is tracking its first probable case of monkeypox in the bay area. officials didn't provide much information, but they did say the patient traveled to a location with a known outbreak. the patient didn't have any close contacts in san francisco when they were potentially contagious. now, if confirmed, it would be the fifth case in california. there have been more than 20 cases nationwide. monkeypox is rarely seen outside

6:04 am
midnight. dr. hong of ucsf says it was the right move amidst a widespread and likely underreported bay area surge. >> we should definitely be masking indoors at this point. i mean, there is a lot of virus circulating. of course, the numbers that are official are not the actual numbers. probably two, three, even more times what the actual numbers are. >> reporter: at one alameda county gym, those looking to get their sweat on in the early morning hours were caught off guard. >> i was surprised by walking in, checking. had to go back to my car, grab a mask. >> reporter: among the bay area counties that put on the united front at the beginning of the pandemic, alameda county, so far, is going it alone this time. >> i'm always happy to do what it takes to protect the vulnerable. i'm just very interested in the science to see how effective it really is. >> in general, i'm okay with it.
6:05 am
it's just it's kind of annoying to go backwards. i thought we were moving forward. >> reporter: around the city of alameda, most businesses had dusted off their old mask mandate signs and had them taped up in windows again by friday afternoon. dr. chin hong says it is important to not only mask up but move from a cloth mask to at least a surgical mask. keep this in mind when pulling it over your nose. >> something well fitted, if you can feel warmth of your breath when you breathe. >> reporter: there is currently not an expiration date on alameda county's indoor mask mandate. now, it also applies to transit. meaning ac transit and oakland international as well as rideshares will require indoor masking, as well. in alameda, andria borba, kpix 5. police are investigating a deadly hit and run in oakland. the victim was an elderly woman. she was doing everything right. she was in a crosswalk. the crash was captured, as you
6:06 am
can see, on security cameras. it also happened right in front of a police officer. now, even so, the driver did get away. neighbors tell kpix's da lin, it's an example of a troubling trend. >> reporter: it was tuesday afternoon after 5:30. a 78-year-old oakland woman was walking in the crosswalk. a white hummer made a left turn and ran her over. the driver sped off. oakland police say instead of chasing after the hummer, the patrol officer stopped to help the victim and sent out vehicle information via radio to nearby officers to look out for the hummer. police say the driver got away, and the woman died at the hospital. >> elected city official that cannot protect the citizens of oakland, it makes me feel sad. >> reporter: bruce's surveillance camera captured the crash. he owns the repair shop on 16th a ave, and he said crime is getting out of control in the neighborhood. >> crime is like eating breakfast. you see them every block, every
6:07 am
street, every corner. >> reporter: four doors down is this small market. a gunman robbed a cash yier at gunpoint last friday. this man walked out with their etb card machine. 1/2 mile away from the intersection, a surveillance camera captured another hit and run in april. a white cadillac escalade rad a red light and hit a bicyclist, who was thrown 30 feet from the intersection. the man had severe head injuries, and the driver sped away. >> you can't go out at nighttime. can't go to the store without worrying about getting robbed, shot. it is unsafe right now. >> reporter: bruce has an open carry permit. >> a shotgun to my forehead. >> reporter: he lost count how many times he's been robbed. >> we're crying for help. when we get out of it? promising. it was broken. >> reporter: the councilwoman

6:09 am
mopping up a brush fire that broke out at 8:00 last night. it burned 15 acres near lagun valley park. no injuries or damage were reported. cal fire investigators say pg&e may be responsible for starting a larger brush fire. investigators are looking into whether a faulty power line sparked the old fire on tuesday. it charred nearly 600 ake acres forced evacuations. it is 75% contained. a pg&e memo revealed a line near where the fire started had an issue around the same time the fire began. now at 6:00, if one bay area lawmaker gets his way, bars could be open for five more hours. kpix 5 is on the push for a later last call and the pushback. >> reporter: christian knows
6:10 am
people might need a cocktail pick-me-up. what about after 2:00 a.m.? >> from the businesses it makes sense for, like a nightclub or something, it is an excellent idea. the nightclub scene has been suffering hard due to the pandemic. >> reporter: that's exactly what california legislators are proposing with senate bill 930. a pilot program that would allow seven california cities, including san francisco and oakland, to allow bars to serve drinks until 4:00 a.m. >> when you think of why people move to cities, there are many reass. of tm is that t want to have vibrant night life. >> reporter: the senator pushed for something similar in 2018, but it was shot down by governor brown. there are calls from bars after a relentless pandemic for a lif lifeline. >> many are drowning in debt, wondering how they'll pay their bills. this gives us an opportunity to increase the economy. >> reporter: bars would have to apply for a license, and neighbors could object. christian says the 4:00 a.m.
6:11 am
closing time wouldn't work for everyone. >> personally, i wouldn't do that for this particular business. for me, i think a lot about labor. i think a lot about security. you know, there's a lot of interesting activity that happens after 2:00 a.m. >> reporter: some public safety advocates have pushed back, including a sacramento area dad whose 21-year-old son was killed by a drunk driver going 110 miles an hour. >> it is insane to think letting people drink for another two hours until 4:00 a.m. is good for the public. >> reporter: but some bar owners say kicking everyone out on the street at 2:00 a.m. causes its own safety issues, like fights and competition for a safe ride home. they say at 4:00 a.m., it'd make for a more orderly end to the night. >> it allows us to stagger people on their own schedule, without jamming them out all on the street at the same time. >> reporter: in san francisco, sara donchey, kpix 5. 6 m:1 1. still ahead --
6:12 am
>> we have a housing emergency. >> the problem isn't lack of housing. >> plans to build thousands of apartments near public transit. why the debate is far from over. a double dose of bad news for tesla. why ceo elon musk and his employees have reason to be nervous. here's a live look outside before we head to break. we'll be right back.

i've lived in san francisco for 20 years. i'm raising my kids here. this city is now less safe for all of us. chesa boudin is failing to hold repeat offenders accountable. he prosecuted zero fentanyl drug dealing cases, even though nearly 500 people have died of overdoses. i'm voting yes on h to recall chesa boudin now. we can't wait one more day when people are dying on our streets. oh, wow barbara corcoran!

6:15 am
welcome back. the time now is 6:15. thousands of people will soon be living at bart stations in berkeley. a six-hour city council meeting ended in a unanimous vote to put up a pair of housing towers at two sites. kpix's andrea nakano has details. >> reporter: the seven-story buildings will go in the parking lot of two bart stations. one at north berkeley and another at ashby. it'll bring 3,000 units, but neighbors are concerned. >> i'm worried about it. >> reporter: andy lives across the street from the north berkeley bart station. he, along with many of his neighbors, have this sign in the yards reading, "neighbor, not towers." their concern is they would have to live next to a 12-story building. >> i think it's really scary. >> reporter: the berkeley city council ultimately ended up voting for a seven-story building that could possibly go
6:16 am
up to 12 and bring in roughly 3,600 units. the mayor says this is a big step to address the housing issues in the community. >> we have a housing emergency. the particular need for housing that is deeply affordable for our people and our community. >> reporter: the mayor says at least 35% will be affordable housing, and this is the best use of the expansive parking lots at the bart stations. >> the past four years, we've been working with bart and our community to plan for housing at these parking lots. i think land should be better used for housing rather than cars. >> reporter: many residents disagree. >> the problem isn't lack of housing. it's lack of affordable housing. >> reporter: their concerns range from the kind of shadow a seven-story building would cast on their neighborhoods to the traffic nightmare it would create, as bart users scramble to find street parking. >> one of the reasons this bart station is so successful is that
6:17 am
people can drive here and park. all of that parking is going to be gone. they're making an assumption that the people moving in will not have cars. >> reporter: the mayor doesn't expect shovels in the ground for several more years, but he hopes the project is completed in ten. in berkeley, andrea nakano, kpix 5. drivers looking to fill up just can't seem to catch a break. the national average price at the pump just hit another all-time high. $4.76 a gallon, up 17 cents from last week. now, u.s. and opec oil production is increasing, but it is still below pre-pandemic levels as we enter the summer travel surge. then there's the war and weather. >> the longer rushes, 10 million barrels, remain off the global market by sanctions. the worst it could potentially get this summer. will we see a hurricane disrupter refining? it could prolong how many we'll see a reprieve in prices.
6:18 am
>> prices in the bay area are far higher than the national average, well over $6 in most locations. tesla stock plunged nearly 10% friday after two pieces of negative news. tesla lost $65 billion after elon musk announced plans to fire 10% of the workforce, about 10,000 employees. the company also faces complaints over phantom braking. u.s. regulators received 800 reports of cars on autopilot suddenly breaking at high speeds. that's more than double the number of incidents reported last year. the feds are demanding data from tesla as they investigate the issue. live look outside now. it is a bit of a gloomy weekend across the bay area. first alert meteorologist darren peck joins us with what we'll see the rest of the week. >> start off with the gloomy view for now, devin, and there are really two headlines for the rest of this week. the first one is the light rain for this weekend in the north bay. the second one is it is going to get hot after that.
6:19 am
i don't want to overlook that because it's something to start thinking about. but that's not getting here until later next week. let's focus on the rain. we have a weekend coming our way. live view from the top of the salesforce tower, looking at the east. pretty sunrise a few moments ago, but the clouds now closed to the opening in the sky. there's rain coming. you can see what it looks like on first alert doppler right now. let's come in for a closer look. light showers trying to get here. not going to do it until the afternoon. while it'll be cloudy today, we don't get rain out of this until we get to the afternoon hours. even at that, any rain we get today, daylight hours on saturday, is going to be confined to the far north bay. few light showers for sonoma k k county. better rain saturday night through sunday morning when we see some of the best of this. notice where the focus is. it is still all pretty much up in the north bay. this is still primarily sonoma county rain. we might see a few of the light showers holding together
6:20 am
tomorrow morning at this time. pretty much bay area wide. we might get light showers from the golden gate south on sunday. by sunday afternoon, we're back into blue skies. so in terms of this being weekend rain, it's primarily saturday rain. saturday evening and very early sunday morning. we pick up a decent amount actually for the north bay. 4/10 th of an inch for santa roa possible. less than 1/10th outof t there. it is a little too far north. it is early june. it'd make sense any system would have a hard time getting everybody rain, but it is nice to see it, especially up in the north bay mountains where we can use this. this will be enough to stave off fire season for a few weeks perhaps. that's the live view. back to the camera from salesforce looking east. temperatures are fine, mid to upper 50s. warming up to the mid 70s for inland spots. it'll be low to mid 60s through
6:21 am
the heart of the bay. the big picture shows you why this system is unique for june. the long trailing edge of clouds out there. this system coming in today actually is being driven in by a decent strength atmospheric river. look at the higher concentration of water vapor stretching across the pacific. it is coming right at us as we get late tonight into tomorrow. in light of that, it makes sense when we see a map like this for early june. we'll get close to anne inch of rain for the far northern coast. that's the rain for today and tomorrow. the other headline shows up in the seven-day forecast. san jose, you first. day time highs by the time we get to friday, 93 by the end of this week. we'll be in the mid to upper 80s for daytime tie hie highs for te part of the weekend. inland valleys, 101. i believe this is the first time on a seven-day forecast we had to cram three digits in. there's some heat coming by the later part of this week.
6:22 am
first, devin, we have an unusual weekend with a chance for rain, second half of today and into early tomorrow morning. >> as you know, i am uniquely attune to when we get 90s and triple digits in the forecast. friday, 101. >> yes. eagle eyes fehely noticed the heat. south bay guy, you probably avoid the 100s. inland valleys, summer is starting the end of this week. >> thank you very much. >> see ya later. straight ahead in sports, how about the san francisco giants last night? they put on a batting practice clinic. a season high in runs. that means a highlight that's appealing on the eyes, and we have it after since i left for college, my dad has gotten back into some of his old hobbies. and now he's taking trulicity,
6:23 am
and it looks like he's gotten into some new healthier habits, too. what changes are you making for your type 2 diabetes? maybe it's time to try trulicity. it's proven to help lower a1c. it can help you lose up to 10 pounds. and it's only taken once a week, so it can fit into your busy life. trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. it's not approved for use in children. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration, and may worsen kidney problems. the choices you make can help control your a1c. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity.
6:24 am

6:26 am
going to give it to ya, maybe. yes, just sneaks it in. and it is the red sox who win this one, 7-2. the a's have lost seven of their last eight games. stanford baseball opening up the ncaa tournament against binghamton. that's out of here. second inning, drew bowser with the home run. not just any home run, a grand slam that caps off a ten-run inning. second ranked stanford wins their 16th straight, 20-7, the f final score. they face texas state in the winner's bracket today. i told you jayson tatum went 3 for 17 and the warriors had a 15-point lead in the second half, you would have assumed warriors in a runaway. but the fourth quarter, it was all boston. there was a 17-0 run in there that put the celtics ahead for good. the run was due to incredible shooting. celtics shot it 75% from three. they outscored golden state
6:27 am
40-16 during the final 12 minutes. boston takes the 1-0 lead. a huge statement by them. but no fret. >> you know, it's first to four, not first to one. we've all been through situations like this. we realize it is going to be very hard. best part about it is, you know, we have another opportunity sunday. nhl playoffs, madison square garden popping last night. rangers aiming for the 2-0 series lead. third period, lightning in white turn it over. zibanejad makes them pay. rangers win it, 3-2. the series now goes to tampa for game three. that can be seen on sunday. and lastly, the 49ers will be looking to replace pro bowl center alex mack this upcoming season. mack announced his retirement yesterday after spending just
