as we get further into the day as that colder weather sweeps in this whole this weekend. >> no, and expect long delays >> last time we had we had people truck in reno for day and a because we had just so much snow in college and was working. 24 7, the clip on the roadways and we had so much snow that it was reduced to one lane which caused traffic jam up. so expect delays, expect closures. >> and this is video day that we're looking at now of pg and e actually responding to all the different power outages that have been happening in the region. and so what they're doing here is that they're triggering a landslide on purpose. they have that chopper up there. they're dumping a ton of water onto that mountainside, letting all the snow kind of slide down. so basically what they're trying to do is area for a power, corrupt power restoration crews to basically get in and restore a power.

and they're also saying this is being done to help reduce the risk of a bonanza of an avalanche. so some pretty interesting there. >> it was. taking a look back here at home whether looking a little bit different. of course, no snow up by the golden gate bridge. >> and we're seeing some people traveling on the roadways there looking mite, nice and a cool from this perspective day. would you say yeah, it's a not a bad start but just plan on getting just to do some temporary heavy rain briefly. >> then opening up the skies to kind of variable clouds. kind of scenario are mostly cloudy with a pop of an isolated scattered are scattered shower or thundershower thrown in there this afternoon. >> want to mention real quickly, tahoe, the forecast of snow, snow, snow, more snow, high temperatures in the 20's as you heard already, winter storm warnings have been posted. they tend to be kicking a 10 o'clock and will be with us until 4. monday morning. so it could be all weekend long after that. it's going remain cold and more dose of snow coming in all

that jazz. but next weekend we're looking for maybe those snow levels to go up and coupled with deeper moisture our way. that may mean some melting sea saw them blasting away some of the excess snow. maybe something to keep in mind because next weekend, if you're headed up there, maybe some localized flooding thrown into the mix with rain coming in will be a warmer rain. sfo want to mention quickly got an hour delay or so going on this morning. and when this line drops out of the peninsula where the airport is may have a temporary, just wait on the tarmac before you can take off a little bit here. here it is. the line that we're watching. i've seen some lightning strikes already with it. not a surprise with cold air upstairs that drives this. so as we reach around 12 o'clock or so, this model is really pushing this forward quickly here. so the rain may start really before we even leave you this morning in its wake. here you have the skies open up a little bit temporarily. spotty showers complement the daytime heating overnight. there you have a 02:00am. notice the snow levels. there will be more aggressive, meaning the snow levels are a little lower and this is going

to be colder air filtering in behind all of this as well. spotty showers and thunder showers might have some hail thrown in there, too, because the daytime heating just warms up the atmosphere for some more action winds pop. we're going to get that with the first system that moves through overnight to about midnight will do it again. winds are not long-lasting. so therefore, they haven't issued a wind advisory with any of this traffic. but just prepare fort just brief moments of has some heavier winds. here's the long-range forecast models. we get to the latter portion of the week. there's a break here when all this traffic is done and then boom, here you have this deeper moisture coming in from the lower latitudes. snow levels are pushed further to the north, telling us that this air mass is more modest or moderate, kind of like we had a few months ago with all that heavy rain. we heard the tahoe snows you at higher snow levels, melting rain, all going on at the same time sometimes can pose an issue there for travel. so next weekend may be a problem. if you're headed up that way into the following week, it looks like the rain gravy train continues. help those

reservoirs out. we have more going into march. 52, san francisco today will do about 54 for san jose across the water. geography, lower to middle 50's again. sun coming out here and there looks unsettled early into the week. we take a break by thursday. there's the temperature pop indicating more mild air with rain coming our way. and lowe's, the coldest day probably wednesday morning, stephanie. >> all right, dave, thank you. well, several not california mountain communities are seeking help following the recent snow storms. governor gavin newsom proclaimed a state of emergency for those affected counties. capitol correspondent eytan wallace takes us through the state's response. >> well, you can see here at the california office of emergency services headquarters. they are in full response mode that as those who live in impacted communities say help cannot come soon enough. >> this is that my son the window and this is the snow level with the with this is the view outside sadie albers,

down here to be here today. it's that feeling of the potential widespread implications of california's reparations task force, which inspired this man to travel from new orleans to sacramento for the last week of scheduled hearings is not going to solve the if we just throw money at it. landon, as was mention and also. programs and resources. the task force created in 2020 by simply bill. 31 21 is charged with examining the modern day impact of slavery on african-americans. specifically those descended from american slaves. lineage matters because reparations is a debt owed to the descendants of chattel slavery in america. it is not a catch all for injustice. california was not asleep holding state. however, the work of the reparations task force details what they see a specific harm suffered by african americans in california as a result of slavery. >> those harms according to the task force impacted housing, education, political representation and land and

business ownership for blacks in california for more than a century after slavery ended having that publicly about 2 dozen times over the last year and a half. the task force is still working to determine what they believe reparation should involve, but could include cash payments, grants and tuition assistance. what direct victims and are all african-american descendants of us slavery in california to meet the residency requirement be compensated. he questions still remain to be decided, including will recipients have to be california residents and perhaps the question of most high interest. our reparations be paid and measure to ensure the form of payment aligns with the estimate of damages in sacramento. karma dickerson. >> and several california mountain communities are seeking help following the recent snow storms. governor gavin newsom proclaimed a state of emergency for the counties affected. our capitol correspondent eytan wallace takes us through the state's response. >> well, you can see here at the california office of emergency services headquarters. they are in full

bernardino county mountain communities. she sent the governor this letter earlier this week asking him to proclaim an emergency. well, now that he did, and no, it's not fast enough for the people that are in need. >> but i can tell you that we didn't all hands on deck. >> and there have been questions why some impacted counties in the lake tahoe region and other parts of the state were not added to this declaration? well, i'm told that is because they did not specifically ask for assistance, but that could always change. and that could be added to the declaration in the future reporting from cal oes headquarters near sacramento. eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> in more winter weather is expected through this weekend and even into next week. first, things first got a line of rain dropping south across the bay into around the noon hour. we'll have details on the timing of all of that. what you'd expect in for sunday. the kron 4 morning news.

>> all right. well, people are advised not to make the trek up to the sierra this weekend. we can see from this live picture here. some big making that slow haul up the roadway there on i-80 of this winter storm us about this. we've been is expected to shut down a lot of roadways, which means a higher possibility of people getting stranded. and you can see from this live perspective, all that snow piled up on the side of the roadway from the last storm system that we all experienced

here, a california highway patrol says that drivers can expect blizzards and white out conditions along with strong winds this weekend. they predict that conditions could get so dangerous. it might be impossible to travel over donner summit. >> if you are coming up this weekend. >> no, and expect long delays. last time we had we had people truck and we know for a day and a because we had just so much snow in with working. 24 7, the clip, well, roadways that we had so much snow that it was reduced to one lane which caused traffic jam up. so expect delays, expect closures. >> and there also is an avalanche warning with the incredible amount of snowfall this week. this is pg and e video now on. you can see their chopper. they're working to trigger a slide, an avalanche there on purpose with help, with to help with power restoration efforts, the utility set up that helicopter carrying 700 gallons of water and then dropped it down that

mountainside. there. and they say this is being done to reduce the risk of any avalanches making conditions safer for ground crews that are working to restore power. 20 affected areas. so again, if you absolutely must travel, chp is recommending that you take a make sure that you have a full take a guess. an emergency kit with food. you have water and warm clothes and that euro your car has proper tires on it. and you can also check with caltrans for the latest on roadway conditions. but really the best practice here given the severe weather conditions we're expecting in the sierra it's probably best to just stay safe indoors. and at home. and back here at home in the bay area. weather no snow, right? still chilly outdoors. you can the wind pushing through the the branches of that on the embarcadero in san francisco. and just just looking like a very cold day, dave. yeah, it is. and we're

experiencing another dose of winter coming our way, stephanie, both. >> he ran back up. the tahoe. in fact, next weekend looks to be problematic as well. snow in the forecast now. but what will happen is we're going to stay cold, obviously through the week up there and then add to that rain, raise those snow levels. you get melting might have some flooding going on by next weekend at this all comes together. here's a look at what the advisories are for this morning all the way through monday morning. winter storm warning. i think about 5,000 feet is about the elevation they're looking at in terms of collecting several more feet again, just through the storm system taking us fairly weak will be a little bit more to add to that. and then we get some mild weather quotation. mark smiled as we head into next weekend. there's sfo for you about a half-hour delay. we're looking for probably more importantly, is if your timing for flight travel is within the next couple of hours. by the time this line sinks to south, you may be caught up in a little brief rainstorm. give a little time. it's not going to last

that long when it marches over would be left with scattered showers. here is on futurecast giving about 11:00am. timing. 12 o'clock give or take and notice the shun here. we don't see it so much in the peninsula. but up north, we do. that's why they have that winter weather advisory. scattered showers throughout the day today with daytime heating and blah, blah, blah, colder line marches through overnight into tomorrow morning and we'll be left with again, isolated or scattered about showers and thunder showers that can also produce hail, particularly when we get that daytime heating. these storms come with pops of wind, not long lasting, but they pop this noon around midnight. it will be breezy as we get into your sunday. so kind of like something for everybody. basically almost got a little bit of sun. you've got rain. one on cloud cover winds, everything longer-range forecast. we get done with this traffic by the middle of the week. we get a little breather in here now. tahoe, it's still a nice box up there from all that it gets. here comes a surge of milder air coupled with rain. so we might have some lifting snow levels

and that may pose a little bit of an issue, too, with some quick melting. a lot of rain at to that because that looks like deeper moisture coming from the southern latitudes today. 52 san francisco, oakland, 54 san jose. again, keep in mind the timing in the south, but you'll get this line probably by the early to mid afternoon temperature check for lower to middle 50's and on our 7 day forecast. notice how the temperatures pop by saturday at 66 coldest day next week. probably will be wednesday morning. and we might have some more frost advisory talking all of that by the time we get there when you get dried out a bit, stephanie. all right, dave, thank you. >> artificial intelligence is now being a craft beers of all things. reporter ryan bass tells us how this could change. happy hour. from its foaming, the stalled. >> but why is being the king >> during is budweiser to its

or whatever. and the ability for people, especially here in the united states with such a strong innovation and entrepreneurial community to take these technologies and going incredible places with them is just around the corner. >> now we just need a i to ease that morning. after for beer lovers to get as drunk as well. this guy. >> this is called thank >> and that was ryan bass reporting for us. the pelicans were in town facing off against the warriors at chase center. the pelicans built a 17 point lead early in the game. but the warriors would mount a comeback in the 2nd half. klay thompson coming out on fire. he led the warriors with 27 points. the warriors beat the pelicans 108, to 99. golden state has now won 5 in a row, including 4 strait games in which they trailed by double digits. head coach steve kerr credits of defense for the team's current winning streak.

>> the defense has to hold up and for whatever reason that hasn't been the case. you know, our on the road all year has been that has been really good at home. i think these last 4 or 5 games spend the best and most consistent defense we've played and hopefully that translates and, you know, give it a shot. see what happens. >> the worriers go on for their 6th straight. what they go for their 6th straight win tomorrow afternoon when they take on the lakers in l a the warriors are hoping to have steph curry back from injury for that game tomorrow. and we'll be right back.
