in san francisco, days after a powerful storm toppled dozens of trees, the latest on the cleanup that still is underway and the threat of more trees coming down in the city. >> also ahead, want to be able to buy a house one day? i want to be able to live a normal life and not just scrape by. >> a nationwide strike makes its way to the bay area. why? amazon workers are walking off the job today. and will the rallies affect your holiday deliveries? >> also, time is running out for lawmakers in washington, d.c. to keep the government open where negotiations stand. one day before another potential government shutdown. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is the four. >> and welcome everyone to the four this afternoon i'm alex savage and i'm cristina rendon. >> we'll get to those top stories in just a moment. but we begin this hour with some developing news in milpitas. >> and that's where police are

expected to provide an update shortly on the investigation into the deaths of four family members, all of them found inside an apartment earlier this week. here we see police officials are about to begin this update that discovery made on tuesday, when the relatives of the victims asked police to do a welfare check. and again, this is a news conference just getting underway in milpitas. let's go ahead and listen in here to what they're saying for them. >> i also want to take a moment to thank the santa clara county district attorney's office for their help during this investigation, as well as providing advocacy to the families. i also want to thank the coroner's office for their expeditious work in helping us with this investigation and moving it along. we want to provide some additional updates to our community about the heartbreaking incident as we learn the facts, and the coroner's office provides us with additional details. as we previously mentioned this past tuesday, december 17th at around 9 p.m, our officers responded to a welfare check at the turing apartments after family members

couldn't contact their loved ones for several days. when officers entered the residence, they found vin nguyen and becky pham, as well as their two children, their nine year old son and eight year old daughter. i'm sorry, four year old daughter, all deceased. although the coroner's office is still determining the exact cause of death, all four sustained what appeared to be a single gunshot wound. to honor the request of the victims families. we are not sharing the children's name at this time. we do believe this is an isolated incident. and it's currently being investigated as a murder suicide. based on the information that we have and the evidence that we have at this time. vin nguyen, betty's husband and father of their two children, is believed to be our suspect. a handgun, which is legally registered to vin, was found at the scene. excuse me. this tragedy is a very difficult reminder of the importance of addressing domestic violence and gun violence. the loss of their

lives was preventable, and for anyone experiencing distress, whether that's domestic violence, gun violence or mental health concerns, help is available. we do urge anyone in need to reach out for support or to contact your local police agencies. if you are fearful of someone who has a gun, there's a variety of different resources, a variety of different restraining orders, domestic violence restraining orders, gun violence, restraining orders that are obtainable. so please reach out to your local authorities if you need help. >> we will share. all right. you are listening. live to milpitas police offering an update on the four family members found shot to death earlier this week inside an apartment in that city. the victims identified and authorities calling this a murder suicide. they say that the man who was found dead took the lives of three other people a woman and two children, a nine year old boy and a four year old girl, all killed here in this

tragic event in milpitas here. but police again calling this an isolated incident and again labeling this a murder suicide situation. >> well, of course, our thoughts and condolences go out to that family and we'll stay on top of this story with more updates throughout the evening. we're moving now to san francisco, where one hotel strike may be over, but another affecting delivery drivers is just getting underway, and that could have a big impact on the holiday shopping season. >> ktvu christien kafton joins us now live from san francisco, where workers at one of the city's hotels have been on strike for weeks now, and they are now voting on a contract. kristen. >> yeah, that's right. you can see that the noisy strike and line that had been going on here outside one of the city's marriott hotels is now over. but while voters while workers from the marriott hotels are voting on a new contract, amazon workers have just walked off the job. amazon workers nationwide and here in san francisco walked off the job and onto the picket

lines. backed by the teamsters union, dozens of workers in one of san francisco's distribution warehouses asked amazon for pay increases, better benefits and to recognize the union. they say they gave amazon a december 15th deadline but were ignored. >> they refuse to do that. they've refused all the other deadlines that we've set for them. so now they've left us with no choice but to strike. >> amazon responded to the strike, saying in part, quote, this is another attempt to push a false narrative. the truth is that the teamsters have actively threatened, intimidated and attempted to coerce amazon employees and third party drivers to join them. the picket line slowed delivery vehicles, but workers say they understand that people around the bay are waiting on holiday gifts. >> it may we hope it doesn't. we hope everybody gets their packages on time. that's up to amazon. you know, if amazon wants to bargain with us, they could end this strike right now. >> as amazon workers walked off the job, workers at the marriott hotels began voting on a new contract offer. workers say it appears to be a good deal with medical benefits and wages,

where they need to be, just in time for the holidays. >> it's a great deal and we were able to gain, you know, our wage increases that were much needed with inflation nowadays. >> while marriott workers may be on their way to a contract, negotiations are still underway for hilton and hyatt workers, with a deal in the works for marriott. union leaders say it's up to hilton and hyatt to come to the table before the holidays. >> it makes it more likely that's for them to decide. but but i think the, you know, the fact that there is now a contract, there is now a standard in this city makes the decision simple for them. >> as we said, those marriott workers actually voting as we speak. we will let you know what the results are of that vote. if, in fact, those marriott workers do ratify that contract, they could be back on the job as early as saturday. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. alex, back

to you. >> yeah, we will be closely following the results of that ratification vote. kristen. thank you. >> well, holiday travel is about to be in full swing, and the tsa is offering some tips to get through security without a snag. airlines advise getting to the airport at least two hours early, with large crowds bringing extended wait times. travelers can play a big role in making sure that those long lines at security don't get bogged down. if you're bringing cookies or other holiday foods. tsa says to store those solid foods in your carry on. leave liquids in checked baggage. gifts should be unwrapped. triple a predicts nearly 8 million travelers will be flying to their destinations this year. >> while the holiday travel rush is on, united airlines flight attendants walked picket lines today at sfo and at other airports across the country. they're gearing up for a possible strike as they negotiate for better pay. the association of flight attendants is calling this a day of action. this follows their overwhelming 99.99% strike authorization vote in august. union members were

asked to sign up today to be called on first to strike if and when they're released by the national mediation board. united airlines says it plans to resume negotiations next year. >> all right. staying at sfo will give you a live look here this afternoon. clear skies. but the weather is going to be playing a role in people's travel plans. we do know we had that fog that caused some delays at all bay area airports yesterday. so let's bring in meteorologist roberto gonzalez for a first look at our forecast. hi, roberta. >> christina. that's a really great piece of advice there. check in with your airlines because we will have some stubborn fog early tomorrow. and then on saturday, it's not going to be just downright wet all day long. but it certainly will be sloppy during the morning hours. live weather camera looking outdoors. you saw the clear skies over sfo, but in the valleys, in our inland areas, primarily east and to the north, we're seeing some areas of haze and some patchy fog that never did clear today. so visibility took a hit and still does. five miles to eight mile visibility to the north, four miles now in

the concord area, six in livermore and along the sea shore. you two have some fog and five mile visibility in half moon bay, where we have been the recipient of a bit of a breeze. in fact, hayward, a 21 mile per hour gusts at this hour. that's where we've seen the fog push out of the area, just actually literally blown out of the area. live weather camera looking out towards the golden gate bridge. it looks stunning there at 52 degrees, but where we're still socked in, livermore's sporting 47 degrees compared to manila international airport in san jose at 62 degrees. bit of a haze where you see the yellow dots, that's moderate air quality and everybody is going to be in the yellow tomorrow. and this is why the bay area air quality district has issued a spare the air day for our friday. meanwhile, we're looking ahead toward your saturday and it will be raining in the morning hours, then cutting off during the afternoon. rain to the north, rain over in sacramento. and as you're making

your trek towards the high sierra, it's a rain snow mix on saturday, 46 degrees with some light rain showers in yosemite monterey in the low 60s. southern california void of any precipitation. in fact, you want sunshine and warm conditions. you don't need to go to hawaii. head to palm springs at 80 degrees. more weather advisories and what you need to know coming up in just a few minutes from now. >> all right. we'll see you in just a bit, roberta. thank you. the cleanup continues today across san francisco after that severe storm over the weekend that triggered the city's first ever tornado warning. a tornado never did materialize in the city, but those powerful winds toppled trees across san francisco, especially in parks. the recreation and parks department has tallied up 98 downed trees across all city parks, with 74 of those trees in golden gate park. for more on the impact of that storm, we're joined live this afternoon by daniel montes from the san francisco recreation and parks department. daniel, thank you for the time. it's good to see you here. obviously, a big

cleanup you have on your hands here, especially in golden gate park. how would you describe the damage that this past weekend's storm caused in city parks? >> hi, alex. thanks for having me. i would say that the good news here is that no one was hurt among all these downed trees. and this is really a testament to the fast action of our staff. all weekend long we had arborists out, gardeners, rangers, heavy equipment operators, and they were really focused on ensuring that our parks can bounce back from all this. >> are you still going through golden gate park specifically, and trying to assess how much damage you actually have from downed trees? >> yeah, that's correct. we are still busy clearing roadways, removing fallen branches, limbs, trees, addressing some flooding and damage fencing. so yeah, we still are assessing the damage not only in golden gate park, but other parks as well, like

stern grove and mclaren. >> okay, how long do you think it is going to take to really be able to clear all of the trees that came down from this past weekend's storm? you know, obviously, keeping in mind that we have more storms headed our way, several more storms coming up starting this weekend, right. >> you know, i'm pretty confident that our staff is well prepared for these kinds of impacts. you know, our arborists and gardeners work year round to assess the health of trees. so, you know, whether there is another storm coming. we are well prepared. >> what what do you want? visitors to golden gate park and the other parks in the city to be keeping in mind when it when it comes to the potential for trees to come down? i mean, obviously, you bring up the fact that we're so fortunate that no one was hurt with any of these trees that came down over this past weekend. but what should people be keeping in mind? how cautious should they be if they're heading out to city

parks? >> our advice to people is really to avoid unnecessary travel during extreme weather, and also to be careful when walking near trees, especially in parks. and it's also important to note that even healthy trees can fall during these strong wind gusts that we have. >> all right. and what does the work look like to try to assess? you talk about arborists going out and looking at trees. what does that work look like to try to assess which trees may pose the greatest threat in terms of being toppled during during storms. >> i mean, you know, that's hard to tell. it's always hard to predict how much damage a storm can cause. but our arborists are well trained and they know what to look for when it comes to the health of trees. >> all right. any estimates at this point on just how much damage, how much it's going to cost to clean up from, from this past weekend's storm, which obviously was was such an anomaly here where we had this rare tornado warning in the city. >> right? yeah, that was very

rare, but no cost estimates just yet. we're still assessing the damage, but again, we are well prepared and this weekend should be no different. >> all right. a lot of work, i know for the recreation and parks department to do here, the arborist to do. but obviously it's important for everyone to be cautious here if you're heading out when these new storms arrive, starting this weekend. daniel montes from the recreation and parks department in san francisco. good to see you. happy holidays. thank you. >> coming up here on the floor, could howard terminal get another shot? the new proposal by the oakland roots and soul soccer clubs to build a stadium by the water. >> but up first this afternoon. bipartisanship hanging in the balance on capitol hill as democrats and republicans race to rehash a proposal to keep the government from shutting down. >> plus, a big push to get outgoing congresswoman barbara lee to hold a different office. why? dozens of oakland leaders say she is the one to help the

bounced from one doctor to the next. did they even send my lab work...? wait, was i supposed to bring that? then there's the forms. the bills. the 'not a bills.' the.... ”press 4 to repeat these options.” [chaotic music] [inspirational music] healthcare can get a whole lot easier when your medical records, care and coverage are in one place. at kaiser permanente, all of us work together for all that is you.

keep the government open. a proposal backed by president elect donald trump has failed in the house. democrats refused to accommodate his sudden demands, and the quick fix cobbled together by republican leaders. the vote was 174 to 235, with the bill failing to earn even a majority in the republican controlled house. this vote, coming one day after trump and elon musk appeared to kill a separate bill that did have bipartisan support. house speaker mike johnson appeared determined to try again before friday. friday's midnight deadline, saying, quote, we are going to do the right thing here. ahead of the vote. well, now to georgia in fulton county, where district attorney fani willis has been disqualified from the 2020 election interference case against donald trump and 19 others. an appeals court panel overruled a trial judge who had allowed willis to keep the case, despite revelations of a romantic relationship that the defendants argue created a conflict of

interest. the ruling does not dismiss the indictment entirely, as several of the 19 co-defendants have already accepted plea deals. another prosecutor could take over the case and decide whether to pursue it. the case could be delayed even further if willis appeals today's ruling to the georgia state supreme court. >> california attorney general rob bonta says immigrant communities in this state can count on the state department of justice for legal protections. ag bonta spoke today at an immigrant rights convention that was held in san francisco. this comes as the state legislature is considering a new litigation fund of up to $25 million to defend californians as the trump administration threatens mass deportations. bonta stressed that ice is allowed to pursue those who break immigration laws as long as it carries out its duties lawfully. >> we want to focus our priorities on violations of other state criminal law, like

tackling our fentanyl challenge, like human trafficking, like hate crimes, like organized retail crime. that's the decision that california has made. >> attorney general bonta added that california is home to nearly 11 million immigrants, the most in the u.s, who helped drive the state's economy and workforce. >> well, the calls are getting louder for east bay congresswoman barbara lee to run for mayor of oakland. the group of 25 oakland leaders who represent business, labor, community and government have published an open letter asking lee to run. this letter is titled oakland needs barbara lee, and it highlights the extraordinary times and crisis of leadership oakland is facing following the may mayor recall of shang tao. the letter describes lee as a seasoned, tested, and proven leader who has a track record of delivering for oakland. lee has not yet announced her plans after her term in the house of representatives expires next month. a special election for mayor of oakland is set for april 16th, 2025. >> congress has passed a bill to

rename two buildings in san francisco after the late senator dianne feinstein. the bill now heads to president biden's desk. the senator, dianne feinstein federal building, will be located at 50 united nations plaza, and the dianne feinstein post office will be on stewart street, on the ground level of the rincon center off of embarcadero. as san francisco mayor in the late 70s and 80s, feinstein oversaw the development of the rincon center, including the rincon annex, which served as the city's largest postal center for decades. >> coming up, what it takes to win at westminster. we're talking live with a bay area judge headed to the upcoming

my mental health was better. but uncontrollable movements called td,tardive dyskinesia, started disrupting my day. td felt embarrassing. i felt like disconnecting. i asked my doctor about treating my td, and learned about ingrezza. ♪ ingrezza ♪ ingrezza is clinically proven to treat td,

a judge from oakland, ryan horvath, has been selected to judge breeds in the hound group when the competition takes place in february of 2025, in new york city. it will mark his first assignment at westminster, and we are pleased to welcome ryan to the four this afternoon. ryan, congratulations on the assignment. first off, we have to know how does one become a judge at the most prestigious dog show in the world? >> well, you have to put in a lot of time in the dog world before you're invited to the show. it's quite an honor to be invited to the show, and it really marks a long time of dedication to the sport. >> okay, so you say you have to have a lot of years. can you

talk about that extensive history and judging. we're also told that your your love of dogs started at a very young age. >> yeah, i started showing dogs when i was an early teenager back in wisconsin. my mom showed dogs sparingly when she was young as well. so she introduced us to this, you know, to the sport. and we went to the local dog shows all while we were growing up. i started actively showing dogs almost 30 years ago, so it's been quite a long time, and that's one of the qualifications to move forward as a judge is to have been in the sport and show dogs for a number of years, as long as as well as having litters of dogs and champions and really showing that you've been active and let people know, i mean, you have a memberships at various clubs throughout the country and here in the bay area. correct. the most active club i'm a member of is a local club, the delaval dog club of livermore. i'm the show chairman for that show, which takes place the third week of october. i'm also a member of several dachshund clubs, which

is my personal breed, as well as some other clubs throughout the country where i actively participate and support them in various ways. the sport relies on volunteer work to make it run efficiently, and it's a great way to stay connected. >> okay, so let's talk about this assignment. you have the hound breeds and varieties that you'll be judging. what are you looking for when judging? is it something specific and has the judging criteria changed over the history of the westminster dog show? >> well, i'm fortunate to be judging my own personal breed dachshunds again, which i've had for over 30 years. i'm also judging basset hounds and beagles in the hound group. and to judge those specific breeds, and any breed for that matter. the national club has put forth guidelines to the american kennel club, who holds all of the standards for which each breed should be judged against. so i'll be, you know, analyzing

the entry that we have for each of those three breeds and deciding which one meets the standard to the best of its abilities. and then those dogs will all go on to the group where the group judge will do the same with each independent breed. throughout each group and pick the winner of that group as well. >> but does it ever come a dog that just stands out to you and you know, okay, this is the one. >> there are many that do. you know, you see them come in the ring and you kind of have your eye on them and you hope that they're going to, you know, give you what you need when you do your hands on examination. and, you know, when that all comes together, their showmanship and their conformation, you know, meeting the standard that they should be, you know, you're very fortunate. and then, you know, you found your winner. >> okay. so if somebody wants to get involved and say, you know what, i have a great dog. i think they do well in this competition world. where do they even start? >> well, the best place to start would be checking out the american kennel club's website. that will give you all the information that you'll need to know. if you know your dog can

proceed, they'll need an akc number. there are competitions for not only conformation, but for performance events as well as well. so purebred dogs and mixed breeds can compete in many of those events. and so akc website, the american kennel club.org would be the best place to get started, to find out all what's available to you and your pet. >> okay. sounds good. you know, i was going through the list of places where all of these judges are coming from, and a lot of them come from the midwest and very few from from california. are you the first from oakland to be chosen for westminster? >> i don't know if i'm the first from oakland. it may be i know a lot of come from california, and i realize the entry at westminster this year, the largest entries from california as well. all making the trek out to new york. but it's a little bit more difficult to, you know, really be actively breeding dogs here in oakland. whereas in the midwest, you tend to have a little bit more land to have your litters of puppies, let them run and play like they

deserve. >> okay. sounds good. well, before we let you go, we just have to comment on that beautiful chair. it has the dog sense to it. it reminds us of a dog. ryan horvath, thank you so much for joining us. and good luck at westminster in 2025. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> all right. up next, this afternoon at 430, breaking down the state of emergency over bird flu. the steps that california is taking to prevent the spread of the virus as cases rise here and across the country. >> also ahead, a suspected killer, luigi mangione, will be spending the holidays locked up in new york after returning to face even more serious charges following the death of unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson. i'm connor hanson in nw

details about what happens next. now that governor newsom has declared a state of emergency because of bird flu. >> california is the first state in the nation to take that emergency step. as ktvu ali rasmus explains, it comes as the cases of the virus have been found in dairy cattle and also people. >> california is one of the nation's largest milk producing states. so far this year, bird flu has infected herds at more than 645 dairy farms. now, governor gavin newsom has declared a state of emergency over the virus. the declaration allows the state to send more resources to farms and counties affected, as well as relax some of the state labor laws about work hours, making it easier to test and treat infected animals and potentially manage the disease in the general population. >> we still don't have a routine

human test, so the test for bird flu have to go to specialized laboratories. i'm actually hopeful. with the state of emergency in california, that california health officials will see the need to develop our own test with state resources. >> up until this week, the bird flu cases in california had only been found in cattle in the central valley. but on december 12th, there was a case discovered in a herd in southern california. the governor's office said, that signaled a wider spread of the virus. >> the dairy outbreak started from wild waterfowl interfacing with with domesticated dairy cows in texas and spread from there. so we are in the thick of it right now. there are 6 million waterfowl in the central valley of california. and there's a lot of birds that are carrying this virus. >> maurice pitesky is a veterinarian and epidemiologist at uc davis. he says there are about 100,000 backyard chickens in california, and their owners could be at risk. he says anyone handling chickens should wear

rubber gloves, boots and take other precautions. >> clothing that is 100% dedicated to your coop. you don't bring that inside. and now i'm encouraging people to also, at the minimum, wear a surgical mask. >> now, just yesterday, a man in louisiana became the first known severe case of bird flu in the u.s. this year, he was hospitalized in critical condition. authorities say he's 65 years old and had some preexisting health conditions, but authorities believe he was exposed after coming into contact with some infected chickens in his backyard flock. ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> final exams were canceled today at san francisco state university because of an anonymous threat that was sent to the campus, and alert went out just before 1230 this afternoon, canceling all classes, exams and activities as the school went into lockdown. everyone on campus was urged to shelter in place as police cleared the area. responding to what they are calling a, quote, anonymous threat of violence. san francisco state did just

dangerous as diablo canyon. >> dangerous. it's also all it's really doing is providing continued power for pg and e to make more and more profits. we, as the working class people who are already paying so much for our utilities, shouldn't have to pay for the operation of a power plant that none of us want, and that is actually actively dangerous to our health here in california. >> the groups pointed out that pg and e has already raised rates four times this year. the cpuc has not yet taken a vote on the proposal. >> law enforcement agencies are reminding everyone to celebrate the holiday season responsibly, and warning that officers will be out in force looking for impaired drivers. the national drive sober or get pulled over campaign is now underway through january 1st. law enforcement agencies around the bay area and across the country are stepping up enforcement and holding dui checkpoints. traffic safety figures show dui related crashes are more common in december than in any other month of the year. new at four a federal lawsuit has now been filed against the

slowly from a nypd helicopter in lower manhattan on his way to face charges in both state and federal court. >> some of these detectives will finally sleep tonight after this person has been brought to justice here in new york city. >> the 26 year old suspect is facing four new federal charges, including for murder. the federal indictment revealed a new photo of the gun mangione allegedly used in the killing of brian thompson earlier this week after issuing state charges. manhattan's district attorney called the shooting terrorism. it was targeted, premeditated and meant to sow terror. >> we're going to respectfully decline to make any comment at this time. mr. mangione appreciates everyone's support. >> the suspect was flown from pennsylvania shortly after a court appearance there. outside, people gathered with signs and even costumes of the nintendo character luigi. >> we intend to keep our case

active, and we intend to essentially revisit the case when the defendant is available for prosecution in blair county, with the added federal murder charge. >> luigi mangione now faces the possibility of the death penalty in new york. connor hansen, fox news. >> coming up this afternoon on the four. a ban on drones in some parts of new jersey. why? this latest move by the faa is doing little to quell concerns over the sightings that apparently cannot be solved. >> taking a look out towards the estuary. we have storms out there. they are stacked up like planes at sfo. we'll track them together and tell you when you will need that umbrella. bay area for t is

"the doctor will see you now." but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck?

that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

on drones over parts of new jersey amid a recent surge in drone activity in those areas. the white house says there is no danger. >> but as fox is, jared halperin reports, it remains a mystery where all of those drones are coming from. >> these aren't the droids drones you're looking for. >> pentagon spokesman pat ryder, borrowing a phrase from star wars to describe the drone threats over the u.s, the feds say there's nothing to worry about. but on wednesday, the faa banned drone operations in some

areas of new jersey where most of the unusual activity is taking place. the new directive gives the government the right to use, quote, deadly force against the drones if they pose a threat. it's still not clear where they're coming from, but the president elect is accusing the white house of a massive cover up. >> for some reason, they don't want to comment, and i think they'd be better off saying what it is our military knows and our our president knows. >> meanwhile, some lawmakers on capitol hill are trying to take action. but a bill that would have allowed local officials to counter drone threats failed in the senate on wednesday due to privacy concerns among republicans, despite having strong support within the drone industry. >> we've been pushing for rules that expand the current authorities about what we call detection and mitigation. >> ultimately, experts are split about why we're seeing such a big uptick in drone sightings, but most agree more needs to be done to determine if there's a risk and how to stop it.

>> my guess is there are a lot of pranksters and, you know, individual operators, but we can't rule out the possibility of substantially more concerning kinds of foreign action. and we're going to have to learn more. >> the faa drone restrictions will remain in effect through at least january 17th. in washington, jared halpern ktvu, fox two news. >> okay. here in the bay area, let's talk about our weather as we give you a beautiful live look at the oakland estuary. and you can make out the san francisco skyline in the distance here. as the sun begins to set and we are tracking what did you call them? roberta, you said we have a stack of storms we're tracking, right? >> like planes stacked up at sfo. boom, boom. >> yeah, but it's all it all starts this weekend. >> yes. and, well, in fact, tomorrow we have a little, little system that's going to roll through the area. but after this weekend, it's just going to kick open that storm door. and we'll get rid of the rain before christmas and then right after christmas too. but your

christmas day does look dry. live weather camera looking out towards golden gate bridge. look at that flag on the fly. so even though the fog has been clearing, the winds have been whipping up. that added to the mixing up of that cloud deck. but boy, that wind adds a chill to the air. we're still seeing some stubborn stratus in the form of dense fog around the fairfield area. not really limiting visibility there for miles, however. in concord, livermore just went silent on us here, and five mile visibility in novato, six miles at half moon bay. winds have been picking up gusts up to 25 in the napa valley. otherwise, we do have some pretty breezy winds around castro valley into hayward. look at that. wind gusts now at 21mph. and at sfo it's an offshore push at 12. temperature wise, it's a cool evening out there only in the 40s. and in the 50s it is 62. however, in san jose with the abundance of sunshine, and that's three degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. although we are

cooler around san carlos, sfo, san bruno, also san mateo into redwood shores. now again, it's a series of storms that are stacking up. this is the first system here impacting your friday in the form of some clouds. the second one is right there behind me. and then this third system here between these two possible flooding will be experienced here in the bay area. let's go ahead and track it together with our futurecast. you see the clouds on the increase around santa rosa. we're talking sonoma and napa counties into lake county all the way into mendocino county. your friday will be mostly cloudy with areas of stubborn fog before that system. you can see the line there pushes to the south and digs its way to the east. the rain showers from the secondary system right here. 7:00 in the morning. by lunchtime, 1:00 in the afternoon. we will be rid of this system. maybe a little backwash in the form of some drizzle here and there, but that's it. now, this third system is queued up, ready to push in by sunday night into

your monday. and that is going to start to tip the buckets. as far as precipitation totals are concerned. so high pressure is breaking down. now with the advancement of these systems out of here. but mostly cloudy for your friday. rain arrives for your saturday and then again sunday night. how much rain from the first system here? not much. we're talking about 2/10 in the redding area, about 13/100 in san francisco. it's the second and the third system here that will bring us copious amounts of precipitation, not just in the north bay, but throughout the bay area. so as we take a big look at all of this, this does churn up your surf as well. and it will bring some snow to the greater lake tahoe area. the secondary system that does come in by sunday night into your monday will leave a little bit more of a mark. up to an inch of precipitation in san francisco. but then we still have tuesday to go with lots of rain showers. we won't see the big snowflakes until about tuesday and the high sierra. we have a high surf advisory that's now in place

because these systems are out over the pacific and they're churning up that surf. so please never turn your back to an angry ocean. 40s tonight, few 30s tomorrow, 50s, 60s. very similar to today. and there's your extended forecast. hey, winter does officially actually arrive on saturday, but it's going to feel like winter all next week, gang. >> yeah, a whole lot of storms lined up there out in the pacific. roberta. thank you. the oakland roots and soul soccer club is committed to staying in the town. the club has filed paperwork to build a permanent stadium at the howard terminal site. here are renderings of what that stadium could look like. it would ultimately hold 25,000 seats and would be located at the same site where the oakland a's once negotiated moving to. that deal, of course, fell apart, and building such a venue here presents a number of significant challenges. ktvu tom vacar is looking into this proposal for howard terminal. he'll have more coming up in a live report on the news at 5:00 tonight. now, the roots have

also unveiled their schedule for next season, which will be played at the coliseum. the season kicks off in march. the first home match will be played on march 22nd against san antonio fc. in all, 17 matches will be played at the former home of the oakland a's. tickets are already on sale for those. >> major league soccer released its schedule for the upcoming season, and one of the greatest players of all time is coming to san jose. the san jose earthquakes will play lionel messi's inter miami at paypal park on may 14th. it will be the argentine legend's first game here in the bay area since joining the mls. game is sure to be a sellout. and earlier we spoke with the quakes team ambassador shay salinas. he says this was the most anticipated schedule drop in the team's history. >> demand is going to be through the roof for this game. i mean, if you've seen the what happened in the cities that he visited last year. i mean, they were selling out 60, $70,000, 70,000 seat stadiums. paypal park is

18,000. so we expect that. we expect that sellout to happen. >> well, along with messi and inter miami, there are also some other big games and matches on the quakes home schedule, including one against chucky lozano and san diego fc in their inaugural mls season. >> all right, get ready for messi mania here in the bay. still ahead this afternoon on the four. a massachusetts man in the right place at the right time helping to save a 20 year old blind cat after it fell into an icy pond. first, though, let's take you outside and check on the roads around the bay area. this is a live look at the traffic conditions along the east shore freeway. you can see from this shot that things are slow going in both directions along this stretch of freeway. heading through berkeley this

found guilty today in a mass rape trial. the victim, giselle pellico, has become an international advocate for abuse victims. today, she expressed support for her fellow victims, whose cases do not get as much attention. her ex-husband, 72 year old dominique pellico, received a 20 year sentence, which is the maximum under french law. over the course of nearly a decade, he drugged his then wife, then allowed 50 other men to rape her while she was unconscious. those men all received sentences ranging

between 3 and 20 years. >> the mission to wipe out the so-called murder hornets in the u.s. was a resounding success. that's according to officials in washington state. the insect was first discovered about five years ago near the washington, canada border. border. this hornet is an invasive species with a dangerous sting and the ability to kill an entire honeybee hive in a matter of hours. they can also sting through many beekeeper suits, doing this for over 25 years now. >> and it is a. it is a rare day when the humans actually get to win one against the insects. so i would like to say we had a little luck from the weather, a little luck from genetics, but most of all we had a lot of tenacity from the population up there calling in reports. and, you know, our crews going out and working really hard to try to find every possible nest to get rid of it. >> those hornets first made headlines in 2013 when they killed 40 people in china. >> some scary moments for a 20 year old blind cat after it fell through a frozen lake. police

say they got a call from a person who spotted the cat named tiki, floating on a piece of ice in a massachusetts lake while on the phone. the caller said they heard the ice cracking and then saw the cat fall into the icy water. two good samaritans rushed in and rescued the cat. the cat was immediately taken to a vet and is expected to be okay. police believe tiki may have escaped the day before and was chased onto the ice by a predator. >> next at four, an unusual esthetic for a worthy cause. how these electronic tattoos are giving doctors a new way to look inside

>> this 3-d printer at ut austin's cockrell school of engineering uses ink to tattoo a person's head. but this isn't some high tech body art. e tattoos are a form of eeg, a medical test that measures brain waves. >> they are similar to the traditional tattoos, yet the main distinction is that these are temporary. >> they've been around for more than a decade, tracking everything from heart activity to stress levels, brain tumors to sleep disorders. but the existing tech can be awkward with rigid electrodes and long wires tricky for people with a lot of hair. >> it is a very unpleasant experience. the entire process is long time consuming. >> this new 3-d printed approach by the nanshu lu research group seeks to overcome that. >> so we're actually depositing ink onto the body to form the tattoos in situ. typically, e tattoos are prefabricated, but we're trying to circumvent that approach so that we can make

these hair compatible. >> the printer doesn't touch the person. instead, it propels ink fast enough to go through their hair. >> if you're using it, you cannot tell it's on your head before the tattoo is even made. >> a camera maps the person's head so it all fits just right. >> it will be a much better experience, so you can expect to have better data. >> i see that this technology can one be the one day be as common as photo booths are? so really have this tool be available within doctors, hospitals, and even maybe in patients or in homes so that people can print e tattoos directly on them and give them real time access to their health information. >> in austin, i'm john krnjak. >> ktvu fox two news at five starts now. >> tragedy during the holidays. milpitas police just confirming the four bodies found inside an apartment were members of one family. the victims of a murder suicide. good evening everyone.

i'm heather holmes. we just received that sad update from officials who spoke tonight with heavy hearts. our crime reporter, henry lee live for us tonight in milpitas with the new information. henry. >> yeah. heather, this is a tragic situation that milpitas police indeed believes was a murder suicide involving a married couple and their two children. now, a request for a welfare check led to the grim discovery of four bodies at the touring apartment complex on mccandless drive at about nine tuesday night. milpitas police today identified the dead as 36 year old vin quang nguyen. his wife, chao bao pham, known as becky, who was also 36, their nine year old son and their four year old daughter. the names of the kids were not released. police say wynn used a legally registered handgun to kill his wife and children before turning the gun on himself. each family member died from a single gunshot wound. family members had reported they hadn't spoken to them for several days. police believe the killings happened between saturday night
