good good morning and thanks for joining us for the kron 4 morning news.im robin winston. its thursday march 1st 20-18. lets start this morning with a check on weather and traffic. (mabrisa rodriguez)low pressure trough is dominating the local weather pattern early this morning and will continue to do so through the next few days. this storm system will bring gusty southwest winds, moderate to locally heavy rainfall, the potential for

thunderstorms, and accumulating snow at the highest locations. earlier this morning, the surface cold front out ahead of the parent upper low was essentially lined up along the pacific coastline from san francisco to seattle earlier but has now trekked slightly inland to encompass the north bay. as a result, the north bay has seen the bulk of the precipitation so far, with up to 2.00" in the wettest locations and widespread accumulations of .66" to 1.00" across the inland north bay valleys. warm sector precipitation ahead of the main cold front has already pushed deep into central california, bringing at least minor accumulations to nearly all portions of the san francisco bay and monterey bay areas. the bulk of the rain from this storm is expected to come through the remainder of this morning and into the early afternoon as the cold front sinks deeper into the golden state. southwest flow of 40 to 50kt at 850mb will accompany this storm system today. this southwest flow will enhance the frontal boundary as it shifts southward today by providing deeper moisture advection/vapor transport into the region as well as increasing the already

favorable (orthogonal) orographic setup. as a result, much heavier precipitation is forecast to fall over the areas most susceptible to orographic effects, ie, the highest terrain over big sur (and to a lesser effect the santa cruz mountains). while 3-5" storm total is generally expected across these two areas, locally higher amounts of 6 to 8 inches over the santa lucia range are possible as the front becomes enhanced later today. while breezy southwest winds and periodic gusts area already common early this morning (peak gust of 48mph at mount diablo), winds are expected to ramp up significantly higher after sunrise. as a result, a wind advisory is in effect for all locations through most of the day (from 2am to 10pm in the san francisco bay area and 7am to 10pm in the monterey bay area). be sure to tie down any loose outdoor items and drive carefully if travelling east or west (crosswind) in a high profile vehicle today. snow levels will start out around 4000 feet on thursday then lower to 2500-3000 feet friday into saturday. given that this is a wetter storm system than our systems, we could see very localized accumulations on the higher peaks (primarily over the santa lucia/big sur range) of a few to several inches. forecast models show the storm system slowing down and changing direction over the coming days. the cold core of the upper low descends from offshore of the northern california by saturday and eventually exits the region sometime sunday. the mid term models diverge on the exact timing, with the gfs favoring a bit more progressive pattern than the euro. that said, an extended duration of wet, unsettled weather will linger across the area as the postfrontal environment remains energetic. look for on again off again rain showers and isolated thunderstorms (including the potential for copious amounts of small hail) friday saturday and into early sunday. generally speaking, water year accumulations have been underwhelming so far leading to drier antecedent conditions and less flood/debris flow risk than we would otherwise be normally facing. we are anticipating that these rains will generally be categorized as beneficial to the area with lower risk of flooding. we will be watching closely for enhancement of this storm later today as it will drive which areas will see the highest rainfall amounts and

if there will be any risk of localized flooding.

things, and what - our hearts went out to those kids into their parents. and you know everybody talks about thoughts and prayers going out to them. and that's that's great, but that doesn't really do anything. and we felt that we needed to take a stand and do this."the radulovichs told me they traveled to dicks sporting goods here in pleasant hill for one reason only - to send a message to ceo ed stack. ed radulovich. we got shoes, down vest, all stuff we don't need, but we are going to patronize the store, they might take a hit in certain areas. rebecca radulovich. i posted to facebook and faxed a letter to ed stock about his decision to ban assault weapons, and raise limit. he really is stepping up to the plate. brave thing to do, i am sure his father if alive is proud, or if passed, he is smiling down. and this couple was not alone, i found many others taking the trek here to show their support for the announcement coming out today from the country's largest sporting goods store. patty mitchell. i have never been in a dicks sporting goods in my life, i am not a sporty girl. but i am going to buy something and i want everyone to know that i am doing it. jeff cook. i think it is

terrific and that is why i am doing what i am here today. i drove out from lafayette, i came here to buy something and support dicks. others out shopping were not aware of the announcement by the ceo. this store does not sell assault weapons currently, so the changes will not be felt here, but shoppers say just knowing that at other stores, the policy will change - feels like the right move going forward. anjelica selden, shopper. it makes me feel more comfortuable knowing tha tdicks is supporting keeping communitys safer." in pleasant hill, terisa estacio, kron4 news.

raids, and half of them had criminal convictions on top of immigration violations. at a press briefing today schaaf reacted to those comments.i did my job is the mayor of oakland my job is to make my city safer. and i take public safety extremely seriously but many people agree that a community that is 1/3 immigrants like oakland is safer when our immigrant community feels like they can come forward and report a crime, come forward and be the witness to a crime. we take safety very seriously here in oakland we are proud that over the last five years we produced homicides by 42%. we cut shootings by 50% we cut armed robberies by 55% and we have done that as a sanctuary city when asked if she was concerned she's be arrested.her answeri'm confident that what i did was fully legal. my sources were not official. i did not give specific information that could have endangered law- enforcement.mayor schaaf, who is also an attorney, says she did not obtain private counsel but did seek legal advice before issuing her warning. she says she also discussed the issue with oakland's chief of police. maureen kelly kron4 news (robin)(robin) still ahead on the kron

especially -- in the heart of the city... nats- the hammering sounds of new construction is unavoidable. nats- some scoff at the sight of new luxury apartment buildings going up... bothered by the fact that most san fraciscan's are priced-out of living in one of these new developments... unaware of the city's inclusionary housing ordinance.kate hartley/mohcd - "the inclusionary housing program definitely makes a big difference." based on the law... developers of all new housing projects with 10-units or more... are required to either, one, make 19-percent of the development affordable housing... two, build an equal amount of affordable units at an off- site location... or, three, pay an in lieu fee... a fee that the san francisco mayor's office of housing and community development collects and then invests in affordable housing.kate hartley/mohcd - "we have had an inclusionary program since 2002." and, in the past decade.. kate hartley... director of the mayor's office of housing and community development... says san francisco has

collected about 198-million dollars in inclusionary housing fees. that comes out to about 20-million dollars a year. when leveraged with low-income housing federal tax credits... state and other local funding... hartley says the inclusionary fees make a big difference.kate hartley/mohcd - "it is actually being spent. we have built over the last 10 years, using inclusionary fees, about 2,000 units. and, uh, we have many more, uh, units, hundreds of units in the pipeline right now." we caught up with kate hartley at the openhouse community at 55 laguna street. san francisco's first 100- percent affordable housing complex for l-g-b-t seniors. built in part with inclusionary housing fees.kate hartley/mohcd - "typically, the city provides about, between 40 and 60 of the cost to build housing." as i mentioned... developers have a choice of either making a porition of new buildings affordable... pay a fee or

build affordable units off-site... meaning on a piece of land somewhere else... an option, hartley says, developers rarely use. but there are examples of off-site construction... like this building at 14-hundred mission street. it's made up of 167 below-market-rate condos and 24 middle-income rental units. all built here, rather than at the main development: lumina at 201 folsom street. a 655-unit luxury high rise built in 20- 15.kate hartley/mohcd - "and, uh, it doesn't happen too often, because as you can imagine, thats a somewhat difficult process to find a piece of land, entitle it and build. um, but we have had about four or so off-site developments." several cities across the nation and right here in the bay area have inclusionary housing programs... san jose is also one of them... and expects to collect 20 to 25 million dollars in fees annually... that'll be

invested into 100-percent affordable housing.kate hartley/mohcd - "san francisco's is not the, um, most strict program in the country, but we definitely, uh, have been out in front on this issue." annually, hartley says the city's goal is to create 5-thousand housing units. 15-hundred of them affordable. creating mixed-communities in new developments... blending low, medium and high income households together in san francisco, philippe djegal, kron four news.

potential for thunderstorms, and accumulating snow at the highest locations. earlier this morning, the surface cold front out ahead of the parent upper low was essentially lined up along the pacific coastline from san francisco to seattle earlier but has now trekked slightly inland to encompass the north bay. as a result, the north bay has seen the bulk of the precipitation so far, with up to 2.00" in the wettest locations and widespread accumulations of .66" to 1.00" across the inland north bay valleys. warm sector precipitation ahead of the main cold front has already pushed deep into central california, bringing at least minor accumulations to nearly all portions of the san francisco bay and monterey bay areas. the bulk of the rain from this storm is expected to come through the remainder of this morning and into the early afternoon as the cold front sinks deeper into the golden state. southwest flow of 40 to 50kt at 850mb will accompany this storm system today. this southwest flow will enhance the frontal boundary as it shifts southward today by providing deeper moisture advection/vapor transport into the region as well as increasing the already favorable (orthogonal) orographic setup. as a result, much heavier precipitation is forecast to fall over the areas most susceptible to orographic effects, ie, the highest terrain over big sur (and to a lesser effect the santa cruz mountains).

while 3-5" storm total is generally expected across these two areas, locally higher amounts of 6 to 8 inches over the santa lucia range are possible as the front becomes enhanced later today. while breezy southwest winds and periodic gusts area already common early this morning (peak gust of 48mph at mount diablo), winds are expected to ramp up significantly higher after sunrise. as a result, a wind advisory is in effect for all locations through most of the day (from 2am to 10pm in the san francisco bay area and 7am to 10pm in the monterey bay area). be sure to tie down any loose outdoor items and drive carefully if travelling east or west (crosswind) in a high profile vehicle today. snow levels will start out around 4000 feet on thursday then lower to 2500-3000 feet friday into saturday. given that this is a wetter storm system than our previous systems, we could see very localized accumulations on the higher peaks (primarily over the santa lucia/big sur range) of a few to several inches. forecast models show the storm system slowing down and changing direction over the coming days. the cold core of the upper low descends from offshore of the pacnw into northern california by saturday and eventually exits the region sometime sunday. the mid term models diverge on the exact timing, with the gfs favoring a bit more progressive pattern than the euro. that said, an extended duration of wet, unsettled weather will linger across the area as the postfrontal environment remains energetic. look for on again off again rain showers and isolated thunderstorms (including the potential for copious amounts of small hail) friday saturday and into early sunday.

generally speaking, water year accumulations have been underwhelming so far leading to drier antecedent conditions and less flood/debris flow risk than we would otherwise be normally facing. we are anticipating that these rains will generally be categorized as beneficial to the area with lower risk of flooding. we will be watching closely for enhancement of this storm later today as it will drive which areas will see the highest rainfall amounts and if there will be any risk of localized flooding. no major hot spots. bay bridge wb 80 is less then 30 min from the maze to sf.

flood/debris flow risk than we would otherwise be normally facing. we are anticipating that these rains will generally be categorized as beneficial to the area with lower risk of flooding. we will be watching closely for enhancement of this storm later today as it will drive which areas will see the highest rainfall amounts and if there will be any risk of localized flooding.

taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni.
