done. >> his m.o. is he walks into a bar, orders a shot of tequila and a draft cider or a draft beer, and he sits down. >> kevin tamati owns emperor norton's booze land at larkin and turk in san francisco's tenderloin. he says his bar and others across the bay area have been repeatedly victimized for years by a man who drinks up and dashes out in the interim. >> when he gets his drinks and the time to pay, he'll make up some excuse like, oh, i forgot my credit card, i have to go get some cash. >> the man says bar owners have shared pictures of this man, 36 year old jared anthony scott, warning them that he's been skipping out on his tabs during that whole time. >> he'll try to do the shot and drink as much of the beer as he can, and then walk out. >> before that happens, though, bar staff have asked him if he wanted to use their atm, he would say he doesn't want to pay the atm fees. >> i do want to say we have bigger fish to fry. as small business owners, this is this is more of an annoyance. >> there are no pending cases against scott in san francisco.

>> somebody doing something like this endlessly, it can really affect the business. so i'm very sympathetic to the restaurant owners. >> san mateo county da steve wagstaffe says scott has been charged with dining and dashing at a bar and cookery in san mateo a year ago, as seen here, as well as at a sushi restaurant. >> on one occasion, he used the excuse of i've got to go to an atm to get money. he walks out and does not pay for it and isn't seen again. >> on new year's eve, san bruno police arrested him for allegedly stiffing red lobster. >> i just wish he would. we all just want him to stop doing it and just leave us alone and stop robbing us. >> while it's unclear whether any prosecution will stop his behavior, bar owners tell me he is not welcome in their establishments anymore. in san francisco, henry lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> and a warning to beachgoers about sneaker waves and strong rip currents along the coast tomorrow. officials warn of large waves that can hit the beach and pull people standing on rocks into the water. as always, they say, pay attention

to your surroundings and don't turn your back to the ocean. ktvu meteorologist roberto gonzalez is here with a look at the current conditions. hey, roberta. >> hi there. claudine. yes, the current water temperature is banking between 50 and 53 degrees. that's mighty cold. if you're heading to the seashore tomorrow. meanwhile, yes, it's the same old drill that we experienced last week and the week before that. beach hazards statement in effect until tomorrow night. just about at this hour. we have those buoys reporting some of these waves up to 20ft. and yet they will lap on shore. the immediate issue happens to be this right here, the fog. it's once again formed. it was stubborn to clear out earlier this morning. but we'll see earlier clearing tomorrow. because of this we do have right now visibility down to about a half a mile in oakland across the bay, one mile visibility at sfo. no clearing at all. it's a very soupy along the sea shore right now. and nine mile visibility in napa. now this is

why we'll see earlier burn off of the fog, the winds by 8:00 tomorrow morning by your morning commute. look at that. oakland international airport, 36 mile per hour winds. and then we see the winds increase in the city by the bay. the city of san francisco, 29, in calistoga, lesser winds across the eastern portion of our bay area. the bottom line is it's going to be breezy to windy throughout your day. and this is why the national weather service has issued a wind advisory, in effect for just about the entire area, just the valley of the santa clara valley. not incorporated in this advisory, but these gusts 45 and perhaps even 50mph in the highest elevations of our local mountain ranges. so we have this right here, this big area of low pressure. it's going to track to the east and take a nosedive over the great basin. it then causes friction with this high pressure that's building in together and offshore push. thus the windy conditions, but not just for us but also for southern california. and keep this in mind. only 4% of normal

as far as rainfall is concerned in san diego and in los angeles. in fact, in la they haven't seen rain since may 5th of 2024. that's 240 days of a dry streak. so we're going to start off with fire concerns around ventura county. and as the day progresses, this encompasses los angeles, even the basin, of course, malibu and then working its way into tulare county, also kern county, san bernardino, the cajon pass, very dry fuel there, working your way into riverside county as well. now back at the ranch at home, temperatures tonight with the fog. temperatures will drop into the 40s. not as cold as last night. meanwhile, with the earlier burn off, we will see ample sunshine, albeit windy, and temperatures up to 67 degrees in san jose. even warmer on wednesday with decreasing winds during the afternoon hours. the warmest day will be on thursday and just take it outside. play outdoors. we've got sunny skies until

sunday. >> all right. thanks, roberta. well, martinez refining company says an upcoming maintenance project will cause more traffic in that area. that work is scheduled to begin this month and will continue through early april, with traffic expected to increase in the mornings and evenings on the roads near the refinery. the martinez refining company says in addition to more traffic, the maintenance project will result in periodic noise and increased flaring, and more information can be found on the refinery's website. >> people in berkeley are invited to take a series of emergency preparedness classes. city leaders say the objective here is to learn practical skills that can be put into action during and after disasters, including putting out fires, performing basic first aid, and finding and rescuing victims. the seven class series starts saturday and repeats in may. people can take any or all of the seven different classes in the series. >> well, coming up in sports, a six game homestand coming to an end at chase center tomorrow
