valley, the radar on the over sensitive mode. it is overreading all of that stuff. let's put it in future cast. cleans things up a bit. that is the reality of the situation. as we play it forward we don't get into that rainband until after midnight tonight for the most part. we have seen a few light showers in the north bay already, it is after midnight, especially here between 2:00 a.m. and about say 7:00 a.m. that is where we will have the line march across the bay. notice it drops a little bit in hamilton. more on the no later, what we are concerned about is the back edge of the line. finally clears the east bay. by the time we get to 9:00, 10:00 tomorrow. then, an opening. pause it here in a second. we got most, at most, half an inch of rain. more in places. and, most of that will have come between midnight and 7:00 a.m. step outside at 10:00 a.m. the rain is done. it will appear that way. it is not. back here the center of the system is waiting to come in with phase

two. then, that will be on-again, off-again scattered hit and miss showers, there will be a lot of time in the middle of saturday you are not getting rained on. don't forget as we get into the evening there will be an uptick. isolated showers, occasional thunderstorms going through the evening. we will put totals on all of that and look ahead to sunday. sunday has its chance of showers on here as well. not super impressive. still a chance for light rain on sunday. we will clear it all out coming up in the full forecast in just a few minutes. for now, back to you. >> the people that run first fridays are thrilled the rain stayed away. it is finally back after three months. as andrea nakano shows us it is more for businesses struggling to be alive >> it is not just the financial struggles put the strain on the event. organizers his to push back for the second friday this month because of the weather. there were fewer vendors and

people than usual. those that are here are grateful that this event is back. >> reporter: thrilled to set up shop at first fridays in oakland. >> this is the most successful first friday we ever done anywhere before. yes. we do a lot of events this one for a short amount of time it is on a monthly basis it brings in huge revenue for us. >> reporter: that revenue is critical for small bees, seven years ago he took over the tamale business. he says he works from 4:00 in the morning until 10:00 at night preparing his tamales and selling them at events like first fridays. >> every week it changes. depends. sometimes i am cooking myself, it depends how i feel that week what looks good. what fresh vegetables, i cook it up. >> reporter: he is not a trained chef. his inspirational story again on the streets of

afghanistan. >> i left home, afghanistan when i was 11 years old. hi to go to different countries on my own with no parents, no family. so i have no option but to learn how to cook to survive. >> reporter: the story of survival is one that many oaklanders can relate with. roy lewis says it brings in new customers, every dollar that comes in helps these businesses keep their doors open. >> you can not stop. we are invested in this. all of these people are invested in it. you can not turn back. >> reporter: friday's organizers are continuing to fund raise to keep the event going. the plan is first fridays will be held throughout the rest of the year. >> a lot of people were having doubts and did not think we would come back. we knew we were, stronger than ever. >> reporter: the resilience of the community can be found on every block. his secret

ingredients has always been to never give up on his dreams. >> took over the business i told my wife, my business partner i said hey, listen, we got to stick together and work hard. don't worry about anything else, keep pushing it, keep pushing it t. is going to happen as long as we serve our customer quality products and keep the customers happy, they will come back. they exactly back. and, it is working now. >> reporter: first fridays suffers another blow this week. the nonprofit that runs it says someone broke into their office and stole equipment. organizers say the event costs $35,000-$4,000 $45,000 a month and vendor fees do not keep it going. across the bay in san francisco, chinatown merchants were doing their own business at the night market. organizers hope the showcase of chinatown culture and cuisine will remind

people how much local shops have to offer. >> a lot of the low income and senior it is personal. we don't have enough young people. they don't want to spend money. so, people come in to spend money. >> the event has been such a hit it will be held on the second friday of every month. seven years ago the san francisco police department took on a series of sweeping reforms in the wake of a racist text messaging scandal. several high profile shootings. today they announced they met every goal and tauted a 65% drop in use of force between 2016 and 2022. wilson walker spoke with an activist who has been pushing for reform from the very start. >> my name is felicia jones, i am the founder of wealth and disparity in the black community and the founder of justice for mario woods

coalition >> for felicia jones the ceremony was a milestone in a journey that started years ago. having been pushed for greater accountability for the police since the shooting of mario woods in 2015. >> even though it may be a world stage in regards to the super bowl, it has to be a world stage for justice. >> reporter: nearly a decade later here she was leading a cheer in a room full of police officers marking what everyone agrees is a step and not a finish line. >> it is not perfect. we have finished. >> san francisco police say they have essentially finished all 272 reforms recommended by state and federal justice departments. mayor london breed in an election year and the chief of police described it as a milestone accomplished inspite of headwinds. >> we not only continue to push forward with this and made it happen we did so during a challenging time after a global

pandemic where we saw crime start to skyrocket. >> you make the adjustments to keep the balance there. what the voters voted for it is is achiefable. our policy still has to provide guidance for us to do things in the spirit of what this reform initiative is all about. >> reporter: jones says it say day to mark progress in an effort that does not end for san francisco or any other city. >> we are doing better than some. as an activist the work continues. it is not perfect. but the work continues. >> in a statement the public defender's office says it difficult to celebrate the milestone when sfpd still disproportionately stops searches, uses force on people of color. when officers represented by the police union resisted reforms intended to

reduce racial bias. an update to a story we first brought you as it was breaking last night. searchers say they do believe they recovered the body of a missing teen swept away in the russian river. a marine unit with an under water camera recovered the body late this morning. no word on the victim's age or identity a second teen who briefly went missing in the water was able to get out on their own. tonight, time is running out for a gray whale cruising up the coast entangled in fishing gear. it was first spotted off of orange county three weeks ago. it passed pacifica earlier this week. researcherred have not seen it since. they say it is only getting skinnier. >> the whale with the entanglement on it can not dive successfully to forge for food. gray whales feed on the bottom seafloor and get down there they can to do that >> kathy george from the marine

mammal center says her team has been on whale watch and has a plan of attack for the next time they spot it. >> we will motor up in our small boat to where the whale is and we will grab ahold of the buoys and the line connected to the buoys coming off of the whale. we lift our engine up out of the water so at this point the whale will be pulling the boat with several people on board. small inflatable boats and we walk hand over honed that line to get as close to the whale as possible. and then we have special tools that we use that we can either reach out by hand if we are close enough or we have poles to connect together to get the distance that we need to reach where that entanglement is and start cutting at the >> you can help save this whale if you happen to spot it. call 877-sos-whale. they make firefighters pretty nervous because they can do this. the fire at a bay area

dishes and run promotions on its screen. it can not actually take orders but that is just a matter of time. >> the applications are pretty varied. kind of for whatever you can imagine there is a way to fit rosie in there. >> i am rosie. >> the best part, she is never sick, she is always on time, and for the most part, does not have an attitude. >> the meal you ordered has arrived. >> officially called lucky by the manufacturer. she got her nickname rosie because she reminded customers of another futuristic robot. >> rosie, you are worth your weight in leftovers >> thank you. >> no longer the stuff of science fiction, server robots are becoming popular. and while they are seen as an answer to the growing labor shortage in the food industry, some worry they are doing more harm than good. >> i think that is an extremely dangerous road to take. >> reporter: the lead

organizers at rock the bay. a restaurant workers advocacy group. the robots could decimate much-needed restaurant jobs. >> a lot of folks see food service just as an easy, simple job that you do on time. for a lot of us, it is a way of life. >> the company says that the robot is only there to support humans. meanwhile, waiters say they are not too worried, at least not yet. >> a lot of people still need that human interaction. >> welcome to our restaurant. >> why it may be hard for some people, rosie the robot is here to stay. just don't push her buttons. >> now leave me alone, i have work to do. >> leave her alone. so, she is sassy, that rosie. she is not cheap. no way. they sell for $15,000 or rent rosie for $799 a month. all right. let's head over to our weather center. rose is

not over there. darren is. he is going to fill us in on the weather. >> let's get caught up on this rain which is just now knocking on the door. you can see it back there on first alert doppler. we will start there and go to the virtual map to see how things will feel. remember the 80s? that was then. more like upper 50s tomorrow. let's track the timing on it. we looked at it at the top of the newscast. now, the radar look messy. most of the stuff inland is not there. it is on the clearer mode. it is way over reading right now. that is the rain that matters the most. that is when we get into the predawn hours, a couple hours away, really. 1:00 a.m., two clock a.m., we will see the showers overtake the bay. it will go that way all of the way through 7:00, 8:00 in the morning. not heavy downpours, it will be moderate, steady rain that keeps going. it will have time to add up. half an inch to 3/4s of an inch of rain. mainly in

that window of time. first wave, seeing the clearing. now, want to get into the second story here. watch the increase activity towards the evening. a few more showers crop up. for saturday, once we get passed like 10:00 in the morning there will be a lot of time when you are not getting rained on. but, as we get to the afternoon and especially here in the early evening we get close to the center of the system where it comes onshore rather and more energy and you will see the action go up a bit. maybe an isolated thunderstorm in that. then, it will calm down for sunday. and, you will get breaks of blue sky. sunday, we still have to deal with some stragglers. left over showers here that could come through the bay area really anywhere here we go through, a batch, none of that amounted to much. so, sunday it will be a much better day if we are looking for ways to plan your weekend. sunday, the majority of the day no rain. the rain that does come on sunday should be fairly short-lived and pretty light

stuff. here is the total. that mainly is showing you how much rain we are going to see primarily for the totals coming in for saturday morning. so, we will pick up about an inch or so in the wetter spots. not bad. so, the other thing about this is, with temperatures cooling as much as they are if we use saturday's day time highs on the map these are all 50s. so, readjust. i mean, you just live through two days. yesterday. thursday and wednesday we were in the 80s. today, we cool down to the middle 60s. you kind of started the readjustment. going down another five or six degrees for day time highs let's squeeze in san jose a little bit. getting back up to the forecast imagery now. we want to take a look at these hills. but, let me get down for that part of the south bay there where we are going to see a little bit of light snow. we will see that with the last few systems, this

one does not look super impressive. watch what happens on the future cast down there. we get a dusting of snow that shows up there. the primary time frame for that it is going to be that late morning line of steady rain. that, that most likely falls tomorrow between about 4:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. for that. and yeah, you can get a little bit of loma preieta. and, there will be rain and snowfalling for the north bay as well. that will go through, does not look like we will get much more than that. so, let's get into the seven-day forecast now. there is a big turn around next week for the days right in front of me now. by thursday, we will be back to 80 degrees. it will be spring all over again. all right, back to you. she turned into vern!
