>> welcome back to the kron. 4 morning news and just look at this gorgeous live shot of the golden gate bridge from our sutro tower camera. really incredible sight there and a beautiful view could just see how thick that fog is or is that marine layer day? what would you say that layer that's where the fog is coming from? yeah. that's the action fog. that's why when wikipedia for >> hog is eviction. fog example right there. i think in this case is probably appropriate here. you can see it. sometimes you can see it's not reaching in-kind insatiable. but here in this case. >> you can check it out in. that does also underscore we're going to have variety of climates going on for today, like you just saw there now, that same fog, there's not as noticeable here in the east bay shore long. we're doing okay. and that front, everything's kind of opened up a little bit. there you see the blue bay and then off

towards the distance. some of that haze were not a lot of warming occurring inland. that's going to start to pull in by its nature. some of that marine layer and fog and so forth as we warm up will be fog anymore. just be the marine layer, but it will keep conditions of the coast. a little cool today. we have a nice breeze working. here is the golden gate again. kind of close to it. you can see the towers, a bind us all covered up. and that fog using that as kind of a highway a little bit. now, there will be some mixing going on, but at least to give you a general idea how it starts off, we'll just have that natural onshore flow to this front gets here by tomorrow. a little cooler tomorrow, but certainly a beautiful day today. 66 for antioch, a lot of 50's off to the east bay up to the north bay. we've got lower 50's 55 or san jose. and 53. meanwhile for san francisco's, we noted earlier, most locations were little bit ahead of the ball game by a couple degrees. so the fronts that we're going to be seeing getting used to it now they're dry fronts and they're going to drive some winds. some cloud cover temperatures, you know, jump around a little bit. but the name of the game is again, staying dry. here it is on futurecast for. and we'll have

the breezy conditions prevailing. but you can see from our standpoint, yeah, that marine layer comes back again tonight. some cloud cover for early part for the bay area for sunday. and then that will mix out as we go into sunday into kind of a mostly sunny day 2. but temperatures will be a bit cooler than today. however. all right. these winds there, you have a pocket of some offshore winds. per ounce level county. but right here in san francisco, you can see there's that onshore. wind continues all day today into the evening hours as well. so if you're headed out there, temperatures are not only be cooler, but you have that strong coastal breeze to really give you a good chill contrast to inland, even though we do see the winds start to pick up later today. nice warm temperatures there and the lower 80's. the winds really continue tonight along the coast, you can see, taking us into tomorrow. the snow statements with this, but it's really close to the threshold there as we get into the 30's and stay that way for a while. so this is all the way out to monday morning and that coastal wind, as you can see, continues a few clouds today. windy at the coast. we've got

60's going on at the coast and that's the lower 60's at that. but 80 plus inland, a couple of 80's 81, 82 business. then tomorrow we shave off a little bit of that inland. 60's remain at the coast. some scattered bay clouds and not as warm next week. a hiatus of just a day on monday than the rest of the week will pretty much be 80's territory. well, in london may be scratching near 90 or so as we get to thursday friday, those kind of the do 2 days to a little drop by friday. 66 san francisco, 72 for open 78. meanwhile, 4 san jose and just a sample. you've got places like half moon bay at 60. meanwhile, antioch, conquer coming in. 82 along with santa rosa. we'll have more on your 4 zone forecast in check and that extended to stephanie. all right, dave, thank you. >> another big story we're following for you this morning. the supreme court preserves women's access to a commonly used abortion bill rejecting court-imposed restrictions. well, that legal case continues. washington correspondent reshad hudson has the latest. >> the white house responded

to this ruling from the supreme court saying it stands by the fda's evidence that the abortion medication is safe. president biden going on to say in the statement, but the 6 could not be higher for women in this country. a small group of anti-abortion demonstrators rallied outside of the supreme court friday. this will determine how prolife the justices are. >> they called on the court to keep the ruling from a federal judge in texas in place. the ruling struck down the fda's decade-old approval of what is now the country's most common abortion medication when it comes at least to abortion drugs. the fda has acted in what appears to be a a pretty arbitrary way. thomas. shipping with the heritage foundation says the case is less about the abortion debate. >> and more about the safety protocols used by the fda. i think we should all expect that when government agencies like the fda make decisions that they should follow the

law. while the case is appealed, the white house asked the supreme court to put the ruling on hold. fda has the right to approve regardless of the supreme court's decision. democrats in congress say they will keep pushing for nationwide protections of reproductive rights. and that means a much more active congress in pushing back on the supreme court does absolutely stupid things that that rob women and rob. >> people generally of their rights. >> and this issues already front and center for many heading into the 2024 campaign reporting in washington, reshad hudson, back to you. for your health this morning. well, covid-19 numbers in the u.s. are relatively low and are going down. the world health organization is keeping an eye on a new covid-19 variant. >> kron four's justine waltman tells us what experts say you should be keeping an eye out for. mask requirements just came back at sonoma county's largest health care provider.

for now doctors, staff and patients must now wear a mask. at kaiser permanente, santa rosa medical center. the new policy has a new covid variant makes its way around the world. >> i would say we're all moving in the same direction even though this seems like a setback, the telltale symptom of the new covid variant is pink eye among young patients. something to look out for as the omicron subvariant xbb 1.1, 6 known as arcturus has been listed by the world health organization as a variant under monitoring since mid-march arcturus rx the b 1.1 6 thought to be about, you know, 80% or so transmissible than what's going on right now. >> so it's just hard to take to if you have not covid for infectious disease specialist doctor peter chin. hong tells me the new variant has a higher transmissibility rate than previous strains. >> but does not appear to be more dangerous. he also does

not expect to see a post-spring break. surge of people getting sick. so any crazy looking very and i think we'll do well with for the most part, they're still vulnerable people in. >> that's why the cdc and fda is approving the option could rather should recommendation, but additional in those over 65. and those are immune compromise just to help mitigate any damage caused by these new kinds of justine waldman, kron, 4 news. >> and a trader joe's in oakland is now the first of its kind in california to officially unionize on friday, workers voted 73 to 53 to do so. the store on college avenue will join trader. joe's united a worker founded union. this the forest or in the country to join. still ahead on the kron 4 morning news, a bay area news in the park and forcing a new visitor policy ahead of the summer break. >> what you'll need to know before you head to great america.

probably work little pesky with the fog along the coast, though. here's a look at those winds want to know right now. looks like we have some offshore winds going on up there around solano county. but the game plan is this up the coast onshore and that will continue all day today through tonight tomorrow as well. and in some cases popping well through the 30's and 20's, not enough for wind advisory but a nice climate control when you particularly have a cold ocean and conditions artificially now popping well inland into the lower 80's. so we have a a thermal gradient working with everything to that just means the difference there. and with that difference drives the winds but still quite active. as you can see all the way through monday with a good stiff breeze in just about all locations, not much in terms of the weather traffic we're going to get from these frontal boundaries. some scattered clouds a little bit with this really turning sunny, you can see the high pressure building. this skews me all the way through the end of the week. and that means temperatures bumpin well through the 80's. you'll see the extended forecast. 4 zone forecast for your saturday. 66 of the co of cb san francisco

at the coast. some upper 50's pacifica coming in about 60 again, that's artificially because of those winds. a little bit more elevated off towards the bayside. 71 for foster city. 76 for palo alto in the south bay. let's get up in the upper 70's that that's 78 san jose, santa clara 79 east bay shoreline, mid 70's inland warming up a bit more. 78 pleasanton livermore around 79 84 walnut creek, concord, coming in about 82 today. again, back to the 70's along the east bay shoreline sanding and route. 74. so we're seeing a little bit of separation here. 72 vallejo, but fairfield up to 83 with napa at 80 and 82 for santa rosa. as i mentioned earlier, sunday will be a little bit of a drop in temperatures. we stay that way through monday and then get back to our climbing through the 80's. as you can see towards the end the week on thursday, not impossible. maybe to see a 90 pa perhaps. but you get a general idea of a nice little spring time forecast coming our way. stephanie. >> all right, dave, thank you for that. hurdles are underway

72 antioch, 64 concord livermore at 60 upper 50's light up the east bay shoreline with some lower 60's up to the north. want to point out this the way the winds are there going to be most apparent at the coast. most of the day late today tonight, tomorrow through tomorrow night and even into monday. but the direction will be that onshore. westerly wind. and that will keep those temperatures suppressed along the coast. so you have different climates. the cold coast, mild bay and warm happening a little bit inland. so here's the 4 zone forecast to check out this saturday. we're at 66 for high san francisco to the coast. upper 50's about 60 ish little warmer on bayside. 69 for burlingame. 71 foster city, san mateo 73. 76 palo alto and the south bay close to 80. so mostly upper 70's working here, east bay shoreline, mid 70's, a touch warmer for tri valley. the decoupling is not as pronounced as what we will see later in that seven-day forecast. however, 80 for walnut creek, concord and 80 to 71 berkeley. but they host

72 with napa contrasted with 80 today. 83 fairfield and 82 for santa rosa. 7 day forecast. here's that little drop. i mentioned the upper 70's for about monday or so. but back to the business of the 80's all next week, maybe even scratching near about 90 as we get to around thursday. stephanie lenz, a great journalist. she talks to everybody and everything, in fact, and she has now a guest in a snake 70. >> well, today is earth day, the annual event where we honor and celebrate our beautiful planet and right here in the bay area. the oakland zoo is getting into the spirit with special events all month long. joining me live now to share more about this and talk about ways we can all help care for mother earth is sarah bows a program manager of the animal ambassador program. sarah, so good to have you join us this morning. thank you so much for having a yes. and you also brought a special guest with us when i say us. i mean myself and one of our wonderful ambassador animals.

this is at the she is a royal ball python. incredible as she is just beautiful and 34 years old. yes, says she is actually 34 years old. we think that her birthday was around she was donated to the zoo way before i was here. she definitely is older than i that she's been an ambassador in our program for a very long time. she's actually been one of the first snakes that people have met like thousands of people. >> have gone to meet a snake for the first time with her. even got a touch of snake for the first time with her. and it's truly impressive. you're holding her with just so much >> was had? how did you get to this point? we are able to just handle a snake in this way. how do you make sure that she's comfortable on your arm like that? for her, especially. she is an ambassador animal. and so she's actually very used to working with a lot of people i so one of the things that helps me is i work with a lot of snakes. i'm able to read her body >> just feeling when her muscles tense in different ways. it's going to let me

know she's comfortable or uncomfortable how she's moving. what she's doing right now. we can tell she's very, very controlled. the only. creature here that's probably going to get uncomfortable. something's going to be me. she does weigh 5 pounds. so heard one hour. my you should get tired. but she's having a great time. and that's what's important. and again, just beautiful and i can i can touch way to approach a snake for her, especially if she is here on my arm will have you just use 2 fingers? nice and gentle. we're just going to touch right here. we're not going in the face because nobody likes to be touched in the things, right. but especially if you're somebody who is maybe on a trail, you'll find a snake like this out on a trail in the bay area. but if you do see one, just making sure that when you encounter them that you give them their space because again, at wendy's, a snake that is thousands of people snakes on the while. the usually very nervous around us make sense. and again, what kind of snake issue and what does she normally? she is a royal ball python. they're actually going from western africa. and in her case she eats a lot of rodents. so a lot of mice and rats and things like that, right? obviously the plan is not as healthy as she once was and

what are some easy, actionable steps that you recommend that people can take today to help, you know, protect the planet. and also, you know, the wildlife that live on it. actually. so for today, each saturday here in the month for earth month at the oakland zoo, we've had a different theme. the first one was what to do with waste. we talked all about composting. that's something the average person can do at home the week after that was talking all about air quality today is taking action for wildlife. and so just making sure that people recognize the animals that we have here in our own area, especially we talk about our ball python here. this is an animal that's routinely found in the pet trade. so one thing that you can actually do is if you're somebody that's ever interested in her, you see here today totally fall in love with her. she's very easy to fall in love with right. just making sure before you bring and like this into your home that you do the proper research she's like. and with love with each making sure that we should actually can't blink. so that's part of ok intense eye contact, but making sure that you do your research again, she's 34 years

and so if you do find out that having a ball python is something that you're prepared to take on that level of investment. you know, she does need very special that care medical care, a diet that might make some people if you do realize that all of that is something that you want to move forward with, you can always look to either adopt one from a reptile rescue or just making sure they are taking in a ball python that's actually bread under human care been taken out of wild. and i notice that she keeps sticking her tongue out. and i seem to recall that snakes they can smell with their when they when they stick their tongues out. walk us through that. so that is what she's doing. she does have a forked tongue and now that we talk about it, she meant do it again. but she does have a further and that's going to help her figure out kind of what direction the smell is coming from. but if you look very closely at her face. redirected just a little bit, she has all of these dots there on the front of her face and those are actually heat seeking pits. and so that's where she can actually figure out where all the warm bodies are. very, very fascinating. and, you know, the walk us through why it's so important

that we all take steps to protect our planet and the wildlife. >> especially we talk about our planet here. i think people have to forget that we are all in this that we are not separate from nature were a part of it. and we just happen to have a very, very, very big so when it comes to wildlife, just making sure that things are we doing to protect our home, not just for us, but for all the animals around it because they didn't get into this. they didn't agree to kind of all on us do something to say >> this is just making sure that everything really is fair for all of our wildlife and giving them the best shot that they can. >> all right. and how many animals total does the oakland zoo have? but you also work with that. i also met with that, narrows it down. there's probably around 30 to 40 animals and i probably work with in some shape or form some i work with more than others. you can tell we work with when they a lot. yeah. also have larger animals. >> who might not have been as comfortable in the studio setting. we have other animals that came from the illegal wildlife trade for chris adcock. a 2 yellow nape amazon

and one of my other darling favorites is a young red tail hawk that we also work with a lovely and i seem to recall from the last storm that there's still a pied crow that is on the loose that you're hoping to get back home as well. yes, are waiting on him to return to they're incredibly smart. and we're just hoping that he safe until we're able to get him back and we can take care of them. if people happen to see the pike row as well, which they do not do try to catch him. but there is an emergency number that the oakland zoo has so that you can make sure that his keepers are going to be there and be able to help take him home safely with people that you trust. i think a lot of people maybe don't realize that core of its which those, you know, those cars are in those ravens. they are actually incredibly smart and can recognize different people. so want to make sure he's able to see those people that he does now. all right. very good on. and just a last takeaway here for people as we celebrate earth day. last take ways. it is something that everybody can do when it comes to earth day and it might look different for all of but you can always go to our website. we talking all about different ways that you can make an impact. and so just finding
