started in the 30s but with the low clouds overhead slightly warmer. 42 in napa now. 46 santa rosa. 49 san francisco. and as we get into the south bay you're checking in at 52. san jose. temperatures will be coming down slightly into the afternoon. a little more along the coast where i think the low clouds and fog could hang a little tough in the afternoon. in the extended forecast tracking the possibility of a little rain coming our way. i'll show that you coming up. homicide detectives in oakland are trying to track the last movements of a woman who was stabbed to death near a ymca. witnesses called 911 just before 4:00 yesterday afternoon. they saw a woman collapsed on the sidewalk near 23rd street and webster. police found a middle-aged woman stabbed, wearing workout clothes but no gym bag or purse. she died at the scene. >> we'll be exploring every possibility. with whether or not this was rand orm or whether or not she

was the intended target. it's in the early stages of the investigation. we have yet to determine. >> y in mca employees deferred questions to management. no comments so far. when the building closed last night staff and club members had to walk past the still- active crime scene. >> it's actually a pretty nice area. it's pretty weird to see crime like that happen here. >> at this point investigators don't know if the victim was alone or with others when she was attacked. police hope nearby surveillance cameras will provide clues as to what happened as they trace her whereabouts. oakland police are also investigating a deadly hit-&- run. the female victim was walking on pine street when she was struck by a car and killed. the driver ran from the scene but left the vehicle behind. police are not saying much about the case so far. there's no suspect description at this time. a bicyclist is if critical condition after being hit by a fire truck. it happened shortly after 2:00 yesterday morning at the intersection of mason and turk streets in the city's tender

line neighborhood. the fire crew just cleared a call, was returning to the station when the accident happened. the bicyclist was rushed to the hospital with life threatening injuries. the search continues for a suspected child molester who escaped after overpowering a sheriff's deputy at a south bay hospital. santa clara sheriffs' deputies say 40-year-old janelle carter should be considered armed and dangerous, last seen running from the medical center 1:30 friday afternoon. he was there for a medical appointment. described as african-american, 5'11" weighing 220 pounds with a shaved head, goatee and the word "alice" tattooed on his neck. today marks international women's day. women are holding events all over the world celebrating political, economic and social gains. women's groups say they made many advances but more needs to come such as equal pay for equal work. there is a rally at oakland's amphitheater today and one in the san francisco mission district at 2:00. in the meantime in

paying more for expenses related to the drought. the contra costa says it's not considering a rate hike but will tap into reserve funds. 7:05. who doesn't like a bargain? there's a white elephant sale, including home furnishings, jewelry, and must have for anyone working early in the mornings, an alarm clock. katie utens is there, the last day of the sale. >> reporter: i snuck inside. the phone might be ringing in the newsroom now. my husband is watching, he's probably saying get her out of there. there are a lot of cool things in the white elephant sale. it benefits the oakland museum of california. i want to show you some video we took yesterday. you can see there's lots of folks in there shopping away and there's lots of items to buy. i'm going to bring in sue

dismantle the ferguson, missouri, police department if that is what it takes to change the culture of policing there. on wednesday the justice department decided it would not prosecute ferguson police officer darren wilson. he shot and killed unarmed teen michael brown last year. the investigation did uncover a disproportionate arrest of minorities and practice of using criminal fines to raise money for the city. holder calls that practice appalling. he says they are prepared to use all the powers he has to make changes to the department. hundreds of college students will be skipping the parties this spring break and spending the week in ferguson, missouri instead. the students will be on what is called an alternative spring break and they will be helping ferguson residents sign up to vote. the spring break volunteers will also be cleaning up public areas and beautifying bus stops. this weekend thousands of people are marking the 50th anniversary of the march for voting rights in selma, alabama and hundreds of demonstrators took part in the 1965 march from selma to the state capital in montgomery, alabama. >> 50 years ago police attacked

to the march on selma still exist. >> they are calling to an end to police shootings and better understanding by political leaders. >> and they say they've seen what a peaceful call for social justice can do. >> by the time i graduated and went to university they were giving scholarships away as a result of selma. >> organizers of the golden gate bridge march are calling for another protest next month. they are calling it a day of no business as usual. and they are asking people not to go to school or work and to use the day to demand social change instead. a southern california winemaker is using a special technique to produce quality wines despite the drought. chris brumel uses dry farming, relies completely on rainfall to water vineyards. he says he lets other vegetation, what as many call weeds grow over his vines and

they track any moisture that comes from rain storms. he says it gives them a special depth and flavor other wines may not have. >> any type of fruit and vegetable and the more water you put on it, it tastes like water. by restricting it you get something a little more flavorful. >> dry farming was how grapes were grown until the 1970s when drip irrigation was invented. it can be also used for other crops including avocados. >> it's dry out there. >> i like the idea, next time i don't pull weeds i say i'm dry farming. 7:18. it will be a nice day. some say it's hot. my voice is not very hot. i'm sorry. how's the weather? >> not bad. definitely changes this morning. we've been talking about it.

number one, the time change. waking up this morning with sunrise at about 7:30. so still on its way. you can see this live look here from san jose. that we have low clouds and fog. back along the coast and inside the bay it moved into the north bay. in fact the north bay is reporting visibility down to about a quarter mile in areas, from napa and into santa rosa. if you have an early morning drive that to be aware of. a weak onshore breeze, that allowed the clouds to move in. i think we will begin to see clearing as we get into the second half of the morning and into the afternoon. mostly sunny skies. but as a result temperatures this morning slightly warmer in areas than where we were yesterday morning and then on the flip side for the afternoon we'll be slightly cooler in most areas. especially along the coastline and i'll show you why. 7:00 a.m., we've got low clouds and fog. by 9:00 begins to peel back just a little but notice still inside the bay, still over the north bay, still along the coastline. by 11:00, noontime, better

clara valley water district and east bay mud say they need to hike prices because people are not using as much water during the drought as well as the cost of bringing in more water from elsewhere. speaking about the drought and weather i'm thinking back to the last time we had a big bout of rain several weeks ago in february. nothing in january. a rainstorm in december. that's about it. >> surprisingly we're not as bad off as you would think. i mean we're still 80%, 100% of average. here in the bay area. of course we want the rain and we definitely need it but it's really the sierra snow pack we really worry about. getting back to our weather -- >> a little rain? >> a little rain perhaps coming in the extended forecast, not enough. we'll talk about that coming up. right now, take a look at this shot. the bay bridge, wow, socked in with fog this morning. so yesterday we started out with mostly clear skies. this morning that is definitely a change. we even have visibility down to

about a quarter mile in areas. around napa. santa rosa, and this shade of gray in here along highway 101 indicating where you may find in and out of a quarter mile visibility from areas like petaluma and novato and stretching over across highway 116, a little closer to the coast and along highway 1. what you're dealing with this morning, is going to last until at least 9:00 or so before it finally begins to burn off. that is when we'll pick up here, about 9:00, still along the coastline, in the north bay. in the bay. 10:00, 11:00, begins to improve. by lunchtime most of us with mostly sunny skies. it sticks along the coast. this is where it's going to stay for the entire afternoon. so partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies expected for areas like pacifica, half-moon bay. temperatures this morning, warmer but without the sunshine. still going to feel quite chilly. 40 degrees in novato. 48 san francisco. 49 hayward. 42 walnut creek. in the second half of the day

shuttle buses will bring you here. i'm going to keep shopping for you both. so many days until the holidays. i may have to do shopping for myself. >> 292 until christmas according to our producer chelsea. katie, ask sherry something for me. we've heard of white elephant sale for years but why is it called the white elephant sale? what is the origin of the name? do you know? >> reporter: i have to repeat the question. she can't hear you. she wants to know the name white elephant. can you tell me the origins? does it have to do with the idea of a holiday party and people bringing odd items? >> i really can't tell you the answer to that but the original women's board was formed over 50 years ago. and we have archives but i have no clue. >> reporter: the name predates many of the volunteers here. my assumption would be it probably came from the -- the holiday idea of bringing white elephants and gifts and exchanging. >> that adds to the history and allure of the whole event i

think. >> i would say the name would be irrelevant. it's all about shopping. >> talk more about what will catch your eye. >> reporter: it will be hards to nail it down to just one or two things but we'll try. >> maybe if you find something -- we can get the same thing. >> why don't you go shopping together. how about that? we need to go shopping together. let's end this right now. thank you. somebody knows the origin. >> we'll find out. >> the name the white elephant sale. she's right, you do associate it with the holidays but it's the sale that doesn't happen around the holidays. so curious. maybe -- it used to happen in november. holiday season. they just moved it. i don't know. viewers, if anyone out there

knows let us know. moving on -- the chinese new year celebration continues in san francisco today for day two of the community street fair. >> it's the last main event of the chinese new year, held in chinatown, includes an opportunity for people to get a taste of the chinese culture. last night's parade through downtown san francisco marked the official end of the lunar celebration. fireworks of course always a big attraction, hundreds of thousands of people from across the bay area lined the streets for the annual chinese new year parade in san francisco. there were colorful floats, dragon dancers, lion dancers, martial arts performances. yesterday's gorgeous weather meant many longtime bay area residents made the treck to the city to see the parade in person for the first time. it's really exciting

good morning. live look at the sun shining over the bay point area this morning. doesn't that look like a fabulous shot? some of us waking up with a lot of fog and low clouds. we have it here in oakland stretching up along the coastline and even really thick over parts of our north bay valley locations. as a whole our pattern changing very little. ridge of high pressure still in control of the weather pattern. we still have a bit of an off- shore breeze but what has changed is a very weak onshore breeze and that has brought the low clouds back, along the coast, inside the bay into om of sour valley spots for the morning hours. in the afternoon we clear away at least to the coastline. the coast will be partly cloudy, perhaps even mostly cloudy for today with this weak onshore breeze in store and

temperatures coming down slightly. still going to be above average for this time of year but yesterday we were 10 to 15 degrees above what we typically get this time of year. so temperatures coming down slightly for the second half of your sunday. as we get through the morning hours, fog and low clouds will slowly dissipate and clear out. now 10:00 a.m., north bay looking better. inside the bay still up along the coastline and by 12:00 we've got mostly sunny skies, at least from the -- away from the coast and for the coastline it will be hugging very close for your entire day. sun will set about 7:10. we have 11 hours, 40 minutes or so of daylight hours as we get a little closer to the first day of spring coming march 20th. temperatures right now in the mid-40s. santa rosa, 50 in san francisco. 43, low 50s hayward as well as san jose. most of the numbers are up a little over yesterday morning because of the low clouds. it really doesn't feel warmer. in fact it feels cooler without the sun shining on us. 72 sonoma. 70 san rafael. a beautiful afternoon,

roof. so we set up for our typical aggressive fire attack. started attacking the fire like we would normally do. >> at what moment did you realize this was going to be one of the biggest fires san francisco had in recent years? >> as we pulled up it was clearly a building under construction. i had personally been to a building under construction that caught fire and so i knew it would move swiftly. we were moving pretty fast. tom was up the ladder and -- in seconds. >> i think we have a picture of you. is that how -- that's how you were injured? >> we were on the ladder and we were on the roof basically, were ready to step on the roof and the fire took off at that point. so we were pretty close and that's where it got pretty hot and they called us back down. >> you had second degree burns? >> to the face and hands. >> what was the recovery process like? >> it was not bad. i went to st. francis and they took care of me. i was back to work in about

three weeks. >> looking back on the fire now a year later, what stands out in your mind about your experience a year ago? >> just -- how surprising it was. when we pulled up we didn't think it would be the biggest fire we've had and -- my memory. >> an entire city block. >> pretty much. it moved very rapidly. that was very surprising. >> what do you want people to know about what you do and what you did that day fighting that fire? >> i would like to talk more about the fire as we put out real quickly. the ones no one knows about. that's what i would like everybody to know, that is why we have so many firefighters, because all the fires you don't hear about are the ones that get put out right away. >> even though this one burned for a while, no injuries and you -- you, yes, but no civilian injuries. you were able to prevent it

from spreading. it could have easily spread to other buildings. could have been a lot worse. >> yes. we contained it to that building that was under construction. >> i want to mention also you come from a irish catholic firefighting family. st. patrick's day parade, your mom is going to be honored. >> that's right. march 14th, yeah. >> tell us about your mom. >> my mom, she was -- it's hard to -- describe her in a nutshell but just a real charitable generous woman. didn't have much, she was widowed early in life and i'm one of seven kids and we went on to have -- close to 30 grandkids from seven. she just -- was the mother theresa of the neighborhood. she took in everybody. she volunteered at st. anthony's dining room and worked at laguna honda hospital and really caring and compassionate person. the united irish society decided to honor her this year as honorary grand marshal of

much as 30%. the three serve about 80% of the area. they say they immediate to raise rates because people are using less water during the drought. they also say they're paying more for expenses. the contra costa water district says it is not considering a rate hike. instead it is tapping into reserve funds. today marks international women's day. didn't know if you knew that brian. >> i knew that. >> women are holding events across the globe celebrating political, economic, and social gains. women's groups say they have made many advances but more needs to come such as equal pay for equal work. there's a rally at noon today. it's folks here in the bay area who want to celebrate. a rally in san francisco's mission district at 2:00. more than 1,000 people joined a day long st. patrick's party along the central coast but it came to a quick end that no one expected. and spring break traditionally means a time to

good morning. hello to san jose. a lot of clouds ride along the shore into the north bay where we have patchy dense fog. this is going to burn away. the ridge of high pressure remains locked in over the west coast. but we are seeing a bit of a change, and what has brought on that change is just a very weak on shore breeze. so waking up with the fog this morning. it is going to clear back to the coast. so right along the shoreline, partly to mostly cloudy. temperatures will be coming down for all of us, but he is special in areas like pacifica as well as half moon bay.

we'll take a look at when this is expected to burn off. napa, petaluma, novato reporting thick fog. highway 101 tough to get through. take it easy. as we get into 10:00, 11:00, it be against to burn back. still a little just inside the bay. by noontime mostly sunseri knee skies. i think it is going to remain right in here. parting sunny and temperatures in the sick. 49 in con court, 43 in novato. so temperatures not as chilly as yesterday morning because those low clouds sort of help to blanket us. it is going to feel cool. 54 san jose, and once we get rid of those clouds, the temperatures will really start to rebound. but so far we've been sort of stuck in the upper 40s, low 50s all morning long. 49 in woodside, 52 degrees

foster city. we'll do one last shift here, 55 for you now, upper 40s in saratoga, 49 in morgan hit. scott's valley, low 60s. but these are the higher he will vaightsz so temperatures right ago where we reside in the cool temperatures. this afternoon 93 for novato. low 70s for richmond. if we head to the east bay, 72 in oakland. yesterday oakland actually broke a record, warming to about 78. 72 in pleasanton. for the south bay 72 san jose, 71 for cupertino. san jose, mid-70s in the forecast for the afternoon. 6 san bruno -- 68 san bruno. 66 for pacifica, and 67 in half moon bay. the extended forecast will cool

it down a little bit as we get into midweek, then the chance for rain perhaps tuesday night into wednesday. a look at that extended forecast coming up. >> rosemary, thank you so much. after a morning like this, guys, i definitely need a beer. this is the segment i've been looking forward to. >> same here. >> the popularity of home brewing continues to rise. we can talk about that but there are a couple of events coming up. we're joined by ryan frey. and your name is brady? >> yes, sir. >> anyway, they're here from davis, california. >> thanks for having us. >> let's talk about home brewing. for some of us that want to get started, home brewing obviously the latest trend. a lot of people starting to do it from their homes, their bathtubs. but how do you get started? >> i think the best way, if you're curious, reach out to your local home brewer's association, great place to start. we're having a rally next saturday to promote that. and then go to your local home

brew shop and your local breweries. start talking with them, and then u.c. davis has a great extension program that offers classes so they have some classes taught by our brewers and their procedures so depending upon how serious you want to get, there's a lot of different avenues. >> there's classes at davis where you can learn how to home brew. >> they have one of the best programs in the world. >> so i'm a beer drinker. what's your favorite? >> pilsners. >> here we go. >> but let's talk about beer. i don't want to talk any more, let's drink some beer. >> go ahead. >> it really can't be that easy. >> no, beer is easy, but also very complex. there's a lot of science. to make beer is relatively easy to create the beer, but to make it taste good is the difficult part. so there's a lot of science.

but it's also a lot of fun to experiment. pretty easy to start going. >> beer is a pretty simple recipe. there's only four ingredients. we're only using malt, hops, water, and yeast. so it's a pretty simple recipe. and that's where the craft comes in. >> i see. >> so it's how the different people and the different brewers use those four ingredients in combination with each other, in balance with each other. that's where you kind of get the personalities from different brewers and different breweries. >> this is fantastic, by the way. >> the thing about home brewing, too, you can't be afraid to fail. i have home brewed for a long time. there's the batches that you don't want to tell anybody about that you just kind of -- you drink in the closet by yourself, and then there's the ones that you are super soaked on, and you have the kill the keg party and everything in between. >> we've only got a few seconds but i want to talk about the differences. so a lighter beer here, a darker beer here. how can you describe it?

>> pilsner is one of the lightest beers, usually one malt, one grain. that's some hops. so that one uses a real light malt. this is a little cloudier, unfirsted. the yeast has been removed so it's clear. this one is darker, sought provides a little more of the sweetness from the roasting process of the malt. then it has a little more hops to kind of balance that out. try to always keep our beers in balance between the hops and the malt. we specialize in craft logger beers. a lot of people are thinking their standard macro logger, and we're trying to showcase a lot of different facets. so right now you've got california drop lagger and more. happy sunday, everybody. the american -- >> anybody interested in brewing, come out. >> the american home brewers

association holding a rally next saturday from 3:00 to 6:00 at the sudw irk rk brewing company on second street in davis. toss it back to allie. >> enjoy that beer. you did he serve it after almost a three-hour show. high school students are starting to make prom plans, and for many girls the biggest problem is finding the perfect dress. but for some it's even more difficult to find a dress you can afford. that's where the princess project in san francisco comes in. dresses, shoes, purses, and other accessories. all for no cost. any bay area student can make an on-line appointment to shop the racks of the princess project any weekend this month. the only requirement is all shoppers must bring their student id from a local school. you may -- go ahead, allie. continue on. >> brian, this is directed to you. you may feel a little sluggish this morning because we lost an hour of sleep for daylight- saving time.

but the clock officially moved forward at 2:00 this morning. we will gain an hour of sunshine. daylight-saving time ends november 1st. >> "time" magazine compiled a list of reasons why people should not be worried about losing an hour of sleep. according to the national sleep foundation there are sever things worse for your sleep than daylight-saving time, that includes your smartphone, taking sleep for granted, and interrupting your sleep cycle. >> sorry, brian, i had to give you a hard time because you got to have the beer. >> my voice needed it. >> thank you for joining us on this sunday morning. we're ending 10 minutes early to rebroadcast last night's chinese new year parade. >> everyone have a great sunday.

>> if you've been feeling more balanced for the past 17 days, that's because the tumultuous year of the horse has galluped off into the distance and made way for a more calm and thoughtful year of the ram. while the year ahead may be a more peaceful one, that doesn't mean it will be boring. a crowd is gathered in san francisco and they are fired up. some have been waiting for hours for this parade to get underway so let's get things started. i'm julie haener. >> and i'm ben. thank you for joining us to celebrate the year of the ram. the chinese year is a time when romance raines and relationships improve. it's a good year for love and resolving conflict.

>> it sure is. and a good year to welcome weekend morning anchor claudine wong. she will be joining us. happy new year. >> it's an absolutely unbelievable night out here. we've been taking a look at all the people. we're going to keep checking in with them. >> thank you claudine. let's not waste another minute. it's time to kick off the southwest airlines chinese new year parade.

[ music ] >> and you are witnessing a fusion of peking opera, broadway, ballet, and hip-hop all to an original score. >> and will you be seeing some feuding gangs in a moment, and they look quite different than those in west side story. in our east version, it's

wolves versus sheep. >> we see these dancers performing tonight. award wing choreographer and director of dance, bubba gong is the mastermind behind this musical. he created it specifically for the southwest airlines chinese new year's parade. >> there is bubba spinning between the two gapings who ultimately rejoice in one world to one bubba gong beat.

>> eastside story representing the transformative power of love in the year of the ram. >> and tonight's opening act is full of creativity and artistry. a spectacular way to start the southwest airlines chinese new year parade. wow. and what a way to start with

all those firecrackers. let's go down to claudine on the street. >> unbelievable really. just tremendous. we cant say enough about -- that actually is my childhood. i remember the sound of fireworks every chinese new year. my grand father would set them off in san francisco. a great way to start. everyone holding their children's ears because it is not a quiet tradition that we have here. but certainly a tremendous one. it wouldn't be chinese new year without it. >> it certain wouldn't. we have a lot more firecrackers to come as well. >> absolutely. >> making it is way through the firecracker smoke is southwest airlines. they know how to navigate thick bay area fog so for them, this is a piece of cake. southwest airlines has been a part of this parade for 25 years and the title sponsor for the past 16. >> that's right. it should come as no surprise that their float is a real crowd pleaser. southwest flight crews are the nicest and funniest in the business. many of their safety speels are

all over youtube. >> just goes to show they can make the ordinary extraordinary, like turning a plain old flat bed into a fantastic float. the ram at the top of his perch appears to be take in the view with the colorful lanterns overhead. >> along the float, symbols representing is happiness, prosperity, and good fortune. and maybe we should include a wish for joyful new year, from southwest airlines. >> this is just one of 25 floats we're about to see tonight in this parade. they spend months building these floats. as you can tell, they have done a fabulous job out there tonight. >> their official title is california polytechnic state university mustang band, but most people know them as cal

poly, the pride of the pacific hails from san luis obispo. that's a 200-mile trek with a whole lot of band equipment. >> this spirited group performs a variety of arrangements including the cal poly fight song and jungle boogie. all the way from cal poly. let's listen.
