baby. researchers caution creating a child through this means is still a long way off. but they believe it's possible. there is a proposal in sacramento to top charging sales tax on baby diapers. san diego assemblywoman lorena gonzalez stays the bill introduced would put money back into the pockets of working class families. the average family they say would save about $100 a year. but the plan would cost the state between $50 million and $70 million a year in tax revenue. some of the mothers have fixed meals about -- feelings about this. >> i don't know it will be such a huge cost savings. >> i think if you have multiple kids in diapers and they are younger than mine, $10 on tax, that really adds up. >> this measure would only apply to baby diapers. so far, we're not hearing about any on mow sigs to the plan -- opposition to the plan in sacramento. you may have noticed price at the pump continues to go up. california's average for

berkeley goes up to 11 and california's statewide get as boost to 10 an hour next year. that can add up. >> it can. thank you. hey, sal, everybody behaving for you now. you've had a busy morning. >> it's a little bit slow in some areas. as a matter of fact, dave and tori, we still have some slow traffic on 280 northbound in san jose. northbound 280 getting up to highway 17. this is because of an accident that's clearing from the lawrence expressway. it was blocking lanes for quite a bit and traffic is still very slow in the area. northbound 280 at the lawrence expressway and all lanes have been open now for just a little bit. maybe ten minutes or so. buts traffic definitely still unwinding. you can see that the traffic on the map, i'm gonna show it to you. traffic will be unwinding. that crash has been cleared from the lanes. we're looking at the commute in contra costa county. that's looking like friday night as you drive through.

they are starting to build up. a little teaser system goes pie. we're still -- goes by. we're still waiting. by this afternoon, that cold air begins to filter in. a couple of low 40s. napa. nkg redwood city, we're 55. the breeze is kind of the key out of the west. fairfield out of the west, concord out of the west oakland, north napa airport. but west 13 at novato. i've seen gusts to 13 at sfo. it's breezy and blustery conditions. there's the low. pretty dynamic. it will weaken a little bit as it moves south. gives us a dramatic -- dramatic change. lows 45 to 55 for most. turning cloudy by this afternoon. rain on saturday. more showery in nature. southern california will get in on this as well. sierra is the key. 4,000-foot snow level will be dropping by saturday evening. maybe 3500 feet. 5, 10 inches be could be higher

inches of snow. you get up around 7,000 feet. sun in the morning. some clouds. cooler, breezy. upper 50s, 60s, could be a local drizzle near the coast as well. lows mid-60s upper 50s i think there's too much coldary air on the -- cold air on the way. temperatures will be down 10 from yesterday. that will not be the case starting today and taking us into the weekend. saturday is the best opportunity for rain. and then it goes into southern california on sunday. kind of a cool, breezy pattern going forward. >> any accumulation for tomorrow? >> i think .25 to .50. maybe some hail. >> that much. [laughter] >> we'll take what we can get. >> we'll take what we can get. >> thank you. 7:19. president obama was asked about decriminalizing marijuana. he wassed about issue -- was asked about the issue in washington, d.c. it allows

adult residents to privately smoke pot and grow up to three marijuana plants. president obama says it really doesn't make sense to give recreational marijuana users the amount of prison time as violent drug offenders. >> there is a lot of concern about drug abuse of any sort by our children and the general population verses the heavy criminalization of nonviolent drug offenses. >> the city and states don't have to punish users with stiff prison sentences. 7:20. san francisco's new 628 area code, it's creating a frustrating and expensive problem around the city. last weekend, san francisco's new 628 area code took effect. so now everyone with a 415 area code, you have to dial a 1 first to make a local call. it turns out most apartment building intercom systems they

are not programmed to dial that extra digit. >> the entry systems are a phone system. it needs to call someone's phone number. it needs to dial 1-415 in addition to the other seven digits. one of the big problems is delivery people and others who can't get into buildings. we're told that newer intercoms would be reprogrammed for a couple of hundred bucks. but replacing an older system could cost as much as $5,000. >> it's trillion interesting how there's these long-term ramifications and a lot of people have to reprogram their cell phone. >> yeah. 7:21. well, this is all the buzz on social media. everyone is talking about this in the newsroom. this dress. what's all the hype? coming up at 7:45, the scientific reason people are so confused about its color. an unusual discovery in san francisco's delowe bess park -- delores park. the new concerns and questions

about guinea pigs being abandoned there.

authorities tell a missouri newspaper, eight bodies were found in at least five separate location. here's some of the photos from the investigation. police responded to the first scene last night after a girl said she heard gunshots in her own home. she managed to escape. when the authorities arrived, they found two bodies inside her home. investigators later found five other people shot to death at three other homes just a short distance from each other. the gunman, a 36-year-old man was also found dead inside of a parked car. now, investigators haven't released any information about the relationship between the victims and that suspect but they are planning to hold a news conference later today. well, back here at home,

more than 10,000 dollars has been raised to help the family of a food vendor hit and killed by a suspected drunk driver. a gofundme site has been set up for the family. his fruit stand was whet up on white road and mount vista drive on saturday, february 21st when he was hit and killed by a suspected drunk driver. his wife was also hurt. the couple has three young children. 25-year-old marco chimaly is facing murder and dui charges in connection with that crash. prosecutors say he had had eight beers before the crash. san francisco's delores park has a guinea big pig -- pig problem. a gardener reported seeing seven of the critters unking around. animal control was only able to capture one of them. this could lead to a problem because they multiply quickly

and dig. they say they've also seen chicken, rabbits and kittens. it was three hours of llama drama after two animals got loose in sun city, arizona. they were being taken to a senior care facility for a mobile petting zoo yesterday. when they were outside, they got spooked and quickly made a break for it. the chase was on. there were times people got close to capturing them. after about a half-hour, they were able to catch the black one there. a man rode up in the back of a pickup truck and was able to get the white llama. shock and outrage over a racist attack. five cars vandalized in one night. the angry messages being investigated as a possible hate crime. >> reporter: and there is a new measles warning out this

morning for b.a.r.t. riders after an infected passenger potentially exposed hundreds of fellow riders. we'll tell you the rain that person was riding on -- the train that person was riding on coming up. we're looking at a commute here where traffic is going to be okay on some areas but slow in the south bay. northbound 280 traffic is slow getting up to highway 17. we'll tell you more about that. well, the low clouds are making pretty good push and the wind is picking up. big changeses on the way for friday. more on saturday. we'll talk about that and finally some snow in the sierra.

coming up on 7:30. good morning. you are taking a live look at the civic center b.a.r.t. station in san francisco where there is a warning for b.a.r.t. riders this morning. coming up in two minutes, alex savidge will explain the possible measles exposure and who is most at risk. it's friday, february 27th. i'm tori campbell. >> i'm dave clark. let's check weather and traffic. i did duck outside. >> it's a beautiful morning. >> but steve says it will change. >> it will change by this afternoon and tonight. it's already changing a little bit. there's a lot more low clouds than the past couple of mornings. the breeze is onshore. that will signal a cooldown. the low, though, really won't

alive until tonight and tomorrow and that's when the biggest changes will take place. we'll get some rain. the sierra will get snow. low clouds for some and the breeze picking up. turning cloudy, windy and cooler. there's been very light rain to the north. i think we'll have to wait for this to build up a little bit. nothing right now really showing up. 40s and 50s. mostly mid-50s. the breeze, some of that low cloud deck is keeping the low clouds up. the breeze is not that strong for much. they've had gusts to 30. west at livermore showing more of a southeast at hayward. that's the dynamic low. it's too far to the north. but it will give the sierra anywhere 5, 10, maybe a foot after everything is said and done. the snow level will be coming down late friday into saturdays. sun in the morning. some low clouds and then clouds increasing. cooler and breezy. the wind picks up for everybody later on. 50s and 60s. all right, sal. i know you've had a busy morning. still that way? >> yes. still busy.

we have the south bay all of a sudden, not doing that well. we'll have a couple of crashes. northbound 101 at the great america parkway there's a new crash there. 101 was the alternate for 280 which was already slow. before we go to the picture, 85 is getting into the act with slow traffic. haven't had any crashes but it's slow as you come up to saratoga. all three freeways getting action. let's get a live look at 280 northbound. we had an earlier accident at the lawrence expressway. this is not what you want to see on friday. it's not that way right now. when you get to the bsh, it's not lighter than usual. it's pretty normal. backed up for 20 minutes before you make it on the bridge. back to the desk. okay. well, as many as 1500 b.a.r.t. riders and hundreds of people in berkeley may have been exposed to measles. last night, the city of berkeley issued a measles

alert. it said an adult from san mateo county visited la medeterania restaurant last friday night. anyone in the restaurant between 6:45 and 10:00 p.m. may have been exposed to measles. experts advise those people just monitor themselves for symptoms until march 13th. well, the possible b.a.r.t. exposure to measles also happened last friday. alex savidge is at the civic center b.a.r.t. station now. you have details on the possible risk to riders. >> reporter: yeah, we do. good morning to you. it was one week ago today, according to health officials when an infected passenger rode a b.a.r.t. train from millbrae here in san francisco and got off at the civic center station where we've been all morning. health officials say they are concerned this person exposed as many as 1500 fellow passengers to the highly contagious virus.

that person sick with the measles is from san mateo county. that's all we know. they boarded a richmond bound train last friday at the station around 4:30 in the afternoon and got off here in san francisco about a half-hour later. now, even people who weren't in close contact with the infected riders potentially would have been exposed. that's because that measles virus would have remained and live and airborne up to two hours. health officials point out that the risk of becoming infected is quite low if riders have been immunized. this morning b.a.r.t. riders are weighing in on this latest measles warning. >> they have to stop letting people not get the shots. that's preventive maintenance. don't do it anymore. that's the problem. don't think it's any good. >> reporter: this is the second warning about measles that's gone out to b.a.r.t. riders recently. you probably remember earlier

this month. b.a.r.t. officials let the people know about a possible outbreak. so far this year, there's been 126 cases reported statewide. many have been tied to the disney theme parks down in southern california. anyone who believes that they may have been on the same train as the infected b.a.r.t. passenger from san mateo county should obviously watch out for any symptoms of the measles, especially, dave, if they have not been immunized before. >> thank you. sonoma county sheriff deputies are investigating a suspicious death at a rural farmhouse. a body was found before noon yesterday at a home on rose avenue east of highway 101 in pen grove. the death was reported by someone who went to the home and found the body. when investigators arrived, they roped off the area with

crime scene tape. neighbors say an older man and his sister lived in the house. the home is surrounded by horse pastures and chicken coops which neighbors say the owners often rented out. >> i know they wented out the pastures for horses but -- i'm not here enough to see what happened. i mean as far as any wrongdoings going on. >> investigators spent the day at the scene but so far they've released very little information about this case. police in suisun city are investigating a disturbing incident involving racist graffiti. on sunday morning at least five cars were vandalized. all of them had racial or hateful messages spray painted on them in red paint. two of the car's owners are single mothers, both african- american. another man's minivan had the word "die" spray painted on the side. the vandalism was not caught

you by any surveillance cameras but has police can vanceing the area looking -- canvassing the area looking for leads. they are doing everything they can to catch whoever is responsible. >> we have a duty to them to figure out what happened. if it's just an act of vandalism, that's one thing. but until we know that, we'll take it seriously. >> one of the cars had its windows bashed in but nothing was stolen. the chief scad he's hoping someone with information will come forward. a display at swastikas at a home is sparking a debate over freedom of speech. yesterday more than a dozen lawmakers demanded a homeowner remove the swastikas displayed on the front of his house. according to reports, he told police what he did was art and that people don't under it. critics say the display is racist and vulgar. police were called to investigation but a spokesperson for the department said the display is protected by the first amendment. so there's nothing they can do. it's now coming down to

hours before the funding for the department of homeland security runs out. washington lawmakers are considering two very different bills. brian flores here in the studio to tell us what that means and give us an update on what the senate and the house are doing right now, brian. >> here's what's going on -- the senate and house are going on two separate tracks. one proposal calls for funding with no strings attached. another will only fund dhs for a few weeks. this is where we stand, though. senate poised to fund the department for the rest of the fiscal year which ends in september of next year. the house is proposing funding the department for just three weeks. the main sticking point in the republican-led house is president obama's immigration actions which is tied to the funding bill. in any case, both sides are under a tight deadline to get something done. >> they are almost falling down on the job. that's notable when we're talking about something as important as funding the

department of homeland security. >> the speaker brought a vote to the floor that funded what i believe an unconstitutional action, i -- i won't be part of funding something unconstitutional. i believe that's a dereliction of my oath of office. >> there could be a shutdown. aboutthe workers that did have to go to work wouldn't get paid. it's about the message that the shutdown brings. some say it portrays a bad message to the american people and the world that the funding cannot be done in time. there is a new program that gives driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants here in california, it's reached a major milestone. since the program started seven weeks ago, the dmv has issued

110,000 drivers licenses in the u.s. illegally. applicants, just like all drivers have to pass both a written and a road test. california expects to issue 1.4 million licenses in this program over the next three years. 7:40. two suspected vandals had to be rescued after trying to escape authority bis climbing down a steep rock face. the men were spotted yesterday afternoon at an old military installation. they ran away from rangers. one of the men had to be rescued by a chp helicopter. park rangers were able to pull the other up with rope. the men were then arrested. a south bay wildlife rescue is treating a rare bird that was injured when it collided with a remote-controlled model airplane. a hawk was brought in on

valentin a -- valentine's day. it suffered a left broke wing after being accidentally hit . rescuers expect it to make a full -- full recovery and anticipate releasing it pack into the wild in a few weeks. no choice but to shoot. that's what police are saying about a deadly confrontation in the mission district. the face-to-face encounter and why police say they had to open fire. if you are on social media, you probably heard the heated debate over this dress. up next, the video we found online that may explain why some say it's white and gold and others see blue and black. and a lot of red in the commute here on the south bay. westbound 237 as you drive through. you can see traffic is going to be busy. we'll tell you more about the

commute into the south bay. well, changes are on the way. the low clouds are making a move. so is the westerly breeze. tomorrow, maybe rain. there will be snow and changes on the way for the sierra.

this dress is cre tating a lot of -- creating a lot of debate on social media. >> pam cook has more on why people are seeing such dramatically different colors. >> it's pretty crazy. i did some digging to see how this got started. it started with a dress worn by

the mother of the bride in scotland. a member of the band posted this question, what color is the dress. she said in person, the dress is blue and black but her band mates argued over the cor in person -- color in person. nearly 75% of the people are like me, we see white and gold. everyone else, though, they are seeing blue and black. scientists are saying the colors you see all depends on how the light from the dress enters your eye and how your brain interprets that light after it hits your retina. a less scientific explain aches, someone post this vine yesterday to show one theory, it could be the angle of your phone and tablet or whatever you are using to look at the dress. we've been bombarded with comments on our facebook and our twitter page just like everybody else. we're seeing a lot of comments. we wanted to share some of them with you. lizette says i saw white and gold at first but now it's blue

and black. am i losing my mind? other people in our newsroom said the same thing, first they saw white and gold and then blue and black. maggie said the dress is blue ac-- blue and black. beyou, people are debating the dress. i see white and gold. she's very adamant about that. mercedes, i saw white and gold and i looked away and saw blue and back. it's so surprising to hear the comments. our producers and i actually went onto the website for the company that makes the dress. it actually comes in four colors, including blue and black. it doesn't even come in white and gold. they are -- yeah, they are definitely riding this wave. they've included hashtag thedress on their website and they say stock is back in. they are in stock. everybody can order the dress.

mendocino county, lake county. 50s on the temps. 58 walnut creek. 55 san jose. 57 redwood city. this is mild in advance of that. we get more of a west wind or a southwest wind. gusts picking up, 17, 25, 30 miles an hour. this low will give us a big change. but the sierra will take the brunt of this and that's a good thing unless you are traveling in it. 5 to 12 plus inches of snow. heaviest amount maybe kirkwood could have more. sun for us for a bit and then a lot of clouds. cooler and breezy. the wind is picking up. 50s and 60s on your temps. a far cry from the 70s yesterday the we won't see those for a while. it's been one issue for a while. is anything new or are we still focusing on something that's happened? >> i have been surprised an how many things that are lingering, westbound bay bridge, i told you last time about that crash. it's been moved away to one of

the parking lots but traffic is backed up this morning. still, it looks like it's a normal backup of 25 minutes and then you have to deal with the time getting across into san francisco. we're looking at a pretty hefty backup after 238 as you drive up to downtown oakland. this is rather unfortunately has become normal. northbound 101 at great america parkway. we have the crash in the santa clara area. that's been there for a while. traffic is backed up. this commute had been lighter than usual. but no longer. it's backed up to the capitol expressway. northbound 85 at 280 there is a motorcycle crash. so it had been a nice commute in the south bay, it's just not. 280 is recovering from problems. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. as many as 1500 b.a.r.t. riders and hundreds of people in berkeley may have been exposed to measles. last night the city of berkeley issued a measles alert.

contagious virus. that passenger exibilitied here at the -- exited here at the civic center. that person sick with measles lives in san mateo county according to health officials. that's all of the information they are offering. the person boarded a richmond- bound train last friday at the millbrae station around 4:30 in the afternoon and got off in san francisco about a half-hour later. even people who weren't in close contact with that particular rider could have been exposed. that's because the measles virus can remain alive and airborne for up to two hours on a surface. although health officials do say the risk of becoming sick as we've heard before is quite low if riders had been immunized before. >> i have had my shots. but i'm concerned for other people, other people's safety as well. i'm pretty sure i'm okay. i will be okay.

>> reporter: this is the second such warning about measles that's gone out to b.a.r.t. riders recently. earlier on, b.a.r.t. officials told the public about an infected passenger who boarded a train in the east bay and came into san francisco who may have exposed more than 25,000 fellow riders. of course, right now in california, we are facing a measles outbreak. so far this year, 126 cases have been reported statewide and you likely recall that many of those have been tied in the disney theme parks in southern california. and according to health officials, any b.a.r.t. riders who may have been on the same train as that person infected with measles one week ago should watch for symptoms of the measles if they have not been vaccinatessed-- va nate -- va nate -- vaccinated. investigators are investigating a suspicious death at a rural farmhouse. the body was found before noon
