answer. >> no, no to a performance. yeah. >> welcome to friday, april 5th. yes. >> hope you're having a good day. we are checking in with lisa for a look at our forecast. >> so our april fools came a little late, right, with the wintry weather. but we're on the back side of the system as low pressure heads to the south and east of us. but hey, check out the snow mount hamilton and the rain that's running parallel to the coast. here you can see pescadero highway one. we've got some downpours and then the upper elevations. yes. turning to snow. so certainly looking at the wet weather as we get into boulder creek. 647 there's a look at mount hamilton. and just east of highway one, the wet weather mount diablo, looking at a rain snow mix and also some scattered showers out there. a level one system today. more dry slots than rain, but nonetheless it'll be gusty. it'll be cold. it'll be below average. yesterday was 52. in napa we had almost an inch of rain in hayward right now. upper 30s to low to mid 40s. it is certainly much colder. we've got our frost advisory for saturday morning and there's a look at the chilly

day today. the winds, the scattered showers, isolated thunderstorm. hey, amanda. >> hi lisa. so much for friday. light a few issues to get to, specifically in the east bay. we're talking about emeryville. you can take a look at our emeryville camera. one lane of the connector, northbound 880 to eastbound 80 is blocked. two other lanes have reopened in the last few minutes. and then we want to get a westbound 80 to southbound 880. that connector, a solo crash, has been cleared from the connector ramp, but there are heavy residual delays. traffic is backed up from gilman street back to the desk. >> thank you. amanda. here is a live look right now at sfo. if you are traveling today, make sure you're prepared for potential weather delays. according to flightaware, there are already 25 delays at sfo this morning. oakland mineta, san jose both have fewer than five delays right now, but yesterday was a totally different story. sfo saw almost 500 delays, averaging two hours and 15 minutes, and many of those are happening as we saw

higher winds and a storm moving through. of course, you can track the weather where you live anytime. with abc seven bay area app. you can find it in your device's app store and download it. >> happening now caltrans crews are racing to come up with a rebuilding plan after a portion of highway one washed out over the weekend. yesterday they brought in dozens of concrete barriers. they'll soon be placing those along the road to guide traffic going between carmel and big sur. convoy passages escorting drivers remain on pause because of the rain. while the closure is inconvenient, caltrans says it could have been worse. >> i think we maybe caught a little stroke of luck and maybe a lot of luck in the sense that we still have one lane open. >> evacuation warnings remain in effect in and around big sur. the monterey county sheriff's office plans to lift the evacuation warnings if the convoys resume tomorrow as planned. >> happening today, we're expecting another candidate to officially enter the race for

san francisco mayor. amanda is at the live desk with what aaron peskin is saying about his decision. >> good morning kumasi. we've known for a while now that san francisco supervisor aaron peskin was preparing to enter the race for mayor, but today he's expected to make it official by filing the proper paperwork. peskin enters the race as one of the most progressive voices in san francisco, so we know he's been a supervisor on and off for 24 years. he's currently board president. the job current mayor london breed held before she was elected mayor. peskin told the chronicle he's entering the race partly because of what he describes as a chaotic governing strategy by breed. he criticized breed for what he described as an incoherent approach to solving the city's most pressing problems. >> now, aaron peskin has long been a thorn in the side of mayors, going back to willie brown and he represents that 30 to 35% of the voters that backed chesa boudin for district attorney. he got recalled. he's also was opposed to the measures

that breed put on the ballot about giving police more power and for drug screening for welfare recipient. so he's on that 35 compared to the 65 that go the other way. it will be an interesting race. they have a voice. >> and that was the voice of abc7 news contributor phil matier. once peskin files his paperwork, there will be five people running for mayor. here are here. they are in alphabetical order. current mayor london breed. mark farrell , daniel lurie, aaron peskin, and asha safai. peskin is expected to bee runn up

>> all right fridaight friy mor. good morning to you. low pressure spinning a little bit further away from us, but near enough that we're still getting the showers and the chance of a thunderstorm today. and the cold air in place. there's a look from pescadero to boulder creek in the santa cruz mountains. some wet weather mixed with snow there, and of course, the snow here from mount hamilton. so it continues, in fact, right along the diablo range, looking at a rain snow mix, mount tam a little bit, but overall partly cloudy. rain out towards the delta. here's our exploratorium camera, where temperatures are mainly in the 40s. colder than yesterday by about seven degrees. but up in the north bay you can see the camera shaking there. breezy winds 36 petaluma the gusty winds in the forecast today. the scattered showers, more dry slots than rain. but here we are three 4:00 into 5:00. could see some thunderstorms in the upper elevations saturday night into

>> the spicy chicken sandwich that does look really good. >> that's what lina said. lisa sounds good. >> wow. all right, what about the forecast? well, you know, we've got some show for some of the higher elevations, but for the actl giants game, i think it looks pretty good. 54 degrees yesterday it was even colder. so we'll have a chance of an isolated shower then. very breezy mid 50s. it looks like it will be partly cloudy as we go through the morning hours. you notice the rain running parallel to the coast here, but we have snow in the higher elevations. we also have rain right along highway one south of pescadero. also, you can see the rain snow mix, boulder creek, ben lomond some more accumulating snow there. and this is mount hamilton up towards mount diablo. a few showers out towards the delta. you can see the pinks there. mount tam looks like it has a little more snow this morning. the sun coming up before 7:00 and the view from mount tam. very pretty out there . more dry breaks, more sunny breaks, but that could lead to an afternoon thunderstorm. 41 in

oakland it is 44. in san jose. and from our roof camera, partly cloudy skies, a dry start, 38 in napa, 36 in petaluma but cutting right to the chase. the temperatures go up over the weekend this is san jose. we should see 68 low 60s so below average over the weekend. then monday and tuesday low to mid 70s. how about low 80s wednesday and thursday. so as for today a good ten degrees below average gusty winds out there, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorm but more dry areas than not today the accuweather seven day forecast. we are frosty with a frost advisory upper elevations tomorrow and then after a chilly but dry weekend, eclipse viewing is just fine with warmer weather through next week. amanda. good morning lisa. >> we want to get you right back to emeryville with a new live view of exactly what's going on over there. this is northbound 880 to eastbound 80. the right lane of the connector ramp is blocked by a motor home. it's on your screen right here. the chp

at a bit of a rain snow mix and then rain out towards the delta here and vacaville. so this level one system today, more dry periods than wet, but still looking at the cold showers, the gusty winds, snow on the peaks and isolated thunderstorm later in the afternoon, we could see that 648 the official sunrise. partly cloudy right now. low to mid 40s for most of us, but in our inland valleys it is cold. how about that 36 in petaluma? >> thanks, lisa. new developments in last year's mass shootings in half moon bay. one of the victims and families of other victims are now suing the mushroom farm, where the shooting happened. amanda, they're claiming the owners could have prevented the attack. >> yeah. reggie, according to our media partners at the mercury news, the lawsuit alleges the owner of california terra garden mushroom farm failed to properly respond to previous reports of violent incidents and take steps to prevent others. four workers were killed at the mushroom farm and three others died at a second farm. investigators say the shooter acted after a dispute with a supervisor. the

shooting was the deadliest in san mateo county's history. cal osha filed 22 workplace safety violations against california terra garden, including an alleged failure to develop violence prevention plans after previous incidents. the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for economic losses related to the deaths and injuries. california terra farm has not responded to requests for comment about this latest legal action. back to you at the desk. >> thank you. amanda. new this morning, the white house is asking congress to cover the full cost of rebuilding baltimore's francis scott key bridge funding will be a key part of getting the bridge back up and running as soon as possible. the funding request comes as the army corps of engineers announces a plan to get the shipping channel reopened by the end of may. today, president biden will be visiting baltimore. he's expected to meet with his bec to meet with the families of the six construction workers who died last week.

>> the bodies of four of those workers are still missing the white house. the white house says mr. biden will also meet with state and local officials and tour the wreckage. crews have been working to clear debris since the collapse last week. >> the a's are officially leaving oakland after this season to play in sacramento. >> looking forward to this being our home until we move on to our stadium in las vegas in 2028, the a's announce a temporary home in west sacramento yesterday. >> the team is set to play there for three seasons at sutter health park, before the plan moved to vegas, the city of oakland had offered the a's a lease extension to stay at the coliseum a bit longer. that didn't work out well. now the a's are leaving the bay area for the capital city. >> so what about the people who work at the coliseum? the team may be eliminating jobs after the a's moved to sacramento, according to the chronicle. in a zoom meeting with the a's, front office, employees were notified that a staff reduction is coming

in november. it's unclear how many employees will be affected. the report says. the a's are partnering with the nba's sacramento kings and triple a rivercats. both are have the same owner, which would create redundancy, prompting the a's to cut jobs. so here's a look at how the a's stadium socket developed in 2004. the a's first looked into building a new stadium in the coliseum's north parking lot that didn't pan out. a decade later, in 2014, the team renewed its lease to play at the coliseum for another ten years. then in 2018, they announced a 34,000 seat stadium at howard terminal, which also fell through, and in 2023, the a's reached their newest deal to play in las vegas. >> now the big question is what is next for the oakland coliseum? >> and the short answer is nobody really knows. the situation is complicated because the a's owner, john fisher, still owns half of the coliseum and the city owns the other half. but with the a's now leaving, city officials want fisher out of the picture

entirely. the african american sports and entertainment group is a potential buyer. one of the group's partners says the site has the potential to become anything from houses, restaurants or even a new stadium. >> well, our plan is to just continue to negotiate until we can come to terms and complete an acquisition. we're really excited about that because it's important for us to move the development forward, he says. >> the best way to make a deal happen is to negotiate a deal with fisher, but that could take years. new developments in the war in gaza. president biden stepping up pressure on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu during a phone call yesterday. and amanda israel appears to be responding kumasi. >> that's right. israel appeared to take action overnight, opening new routes for aid to enter gaza. it comes after president biden issued a strong warning to israel. in a tense 30 minute call, mr. biden told prime minister netanyahu that israel must take concrete steps to address the humanitarian suffering in gaza, or risk

losing u.s. support. growing frustration prompted the phone call after seven aid workers were killed by an israeli airstrike this week. here's what secretary of state antony blinken had to say from belgium this morning. >> and how much time are you giving them to make these changes to implement these concrete? >> again, we would hope to see some announcements of changes here in coming hours and days, and i'll leave it at that. >> according to israeli media, israel has suspended two military commanders following the airstrike. it promises a swift and thorough investigation. during the call yesterday, president biden also called for an immediate cease fire as part of a deal to release hostages. cia director bill burns is expected to travel to egypt this weekend for more negotiations. >> back to you at the desk, reggie, have you ever heard of a place called russell city? chances are you haven't, because now we know it. as hayward. but back in the 50s and 60s, black and latino families purchased

land there. eventually, they were forced out either by policies like eminent domain or actually burned out of their homes. now there's a push to get that land back. >> just you can give me the land back. i don't need any money. the land would suffice. if you steal something and you have the opportunity to give it back, you hand it over to this. this tangible place that we're at now. you can give us this back, and then we'll figure out how we want to develop it and do it. that would be a better reparation to me. >> the johnson family is just one of the many families pushing for the state of california to consider reparations for slavery , and decades of anti-black policies explore their journey. in the abc seven originals documentary, california his case for reparations. it's streaming now. wherever you watch abc seven. food delivery from a robotaxi. the two bay area companies teaming up to bring
