right now phoenix. let's go to sports director scott reese with the details. >> hey, everybody. are you ready for robot umpires? we might be getting closer to that reality. major league baseball will test out its automated and strikes system in 13 stadiums this spring complete with player challenges. here's how it'll look. each team will be given to challenge is a game will retain successful ones, only the batter catcher. a pitcher can initiate a challenge which must happen immediately after the umpire's call, the results will be displayed on the scoreboard and television broadcast. if all goes well, we could see this in regular season games as soon as 2026, i should note the giants and a's spring stadiums are not among the 13 participate. >> speaking of the giants, good health reports so far this spring. >> backup catcher tom murphy and infielder tyler fitzgerald, both battling sore backs, but nothing too serious and it gets better manager bob melvin spoke glowingly tuesday about the vibe in camp and the team chemistry in his second season as manager.

>> and we've had really good atmosphere from. really for the last couple weeks. lot of guys reported early. you know, pitchers you are usually are throwing pens, but position players have been here for a while. you know, quite a few of men now live here and got here january 1st. so it's it's felt like spring training for a while now. but to get everybody pictures and catchers and the position players yesterday really kind of goodbye on the first day was exciting. >> that's it for sports. have a great wednesday. >> 10 45 right now and in the north bay, the napa county board just approved an emergency proclamation so they can make repairs from the massive storm that we happen to have earlier in the month are going to issue more than 9 million dollars to repair a lot of roads in cleanup operations that mass of rain we got was on february 4th and that resulted in as you can see, flooding wet roads, landslides, fallen trees and they have a lot to clean up. they are trying to first there get debris out and then

handling the landslides and that because before we get next round today, i don't know if accounts, not too much rain today. yeah. today's parade. >> definitely like to see that there will be some. >> recovery after those heavier rains that we've had through february, it's caught us up in the sierra to right around average snowpack, which has been great. we've got one more little round of that up in the sierra. and of course, our showers here in the day right now, it's raining pretty good in san francisco. you can actually not see very much of the bay bridge at the moment. this line of showers crossing right to the core of the bay as we speak. and with that, some of our heaviest of rainfall is actually right there on the peninsula and over san francisco itself. so areas like around that airport currently on over even ak in the east bay stretching up over highway. 24 on up towards martinez and eastward towards pittsburgh. definitely looking pretty active at the moment. so we are seeing some light showers out there. that's the

way it's going to stay fizzling out as they roll further and further southeastward for the rest of the morning by noontime. we're already seeing some clearing going on in the north bay as well as and east bay afternoon hours actually looking pretty good rainfall today, staying below a 10th of an inch for most areas, high pressure. ridge quickly builds right on back in this low waste, no time exiting the region. and with that high pressure ridge, we have a pretty warm weekend on tap just around the corner. today is the cooler day of this forecast with most of our temperatures actually landing in the 60's today. as for tomorrow will be seeing temps climbing a little bit further into the mid to upper 60's by the weekend. look at some of the 70's that we have on the map. those will be the first 70's we've seen in quite a while and some spots. daria. >> thanks a lot, john. at 10, and the council on american islamic relations, san francisco officer holding a rally today and santa clara announcing stamford's official designation as a hostile

understand that it's management's responsibility to ensure and safeguard our kids. the district says it will work with the unions representing the teachers. >> to come to something that works for everyone that they say that there has to be some kind of give and take and that probably some cuts are going to be necessary. in the south bay. the san jose teachers association is calling for the district to make schools safer. the union wants safe and stable schools after what they see as an increase in incidents involving weapons and social media threats across campuses. they did a survey more than 600 teachers and staff who said that they need better support for students and staff staff and that safety is their top priority. in fact, they say they're going to be including that issue and their contract negotiations. there are many phone cases to choose from, but which ones work for what you want? rich demuro takes a closer look.
