5:03 am
the forecast for us heading into around monday and tuesday. soaves in our inland areas will return and we'll continue to see 60s and 70s along the peninsula. and along the bay shoreline. and speaking of that, let's actually take a look at the daytime highs today. it's a beautiful day to get out there and get some fresh air, if you want to check out a new trail, i have been saying it all week, this is the week to get out there and enjoy any outdoor activity. the pollen count is now in a medium category a little bit lower than where we were at earlier this week and winds are still light from the north sweeping in. more on that coming up in a just a bit. we're expecting 50s near half-moon bay but then still warming up in the 70s in areas like livermore all the way down into san jose. big changes in the forecast for us next week. like i said we have the more of a warm-up right around the corner and when is the next chance of showers? well, i'm going to time that out for you coming up because rig now looking at the long-range models and well, it's still going to be dry for quite some time which is okay. we're well above average for the rainfall season. for now over to you.
5:04 am
let's check the roadways here. no not a lot of problems so far. here's a live look at the toll plaza, a pretty easy commute coming from all the approaches westbound, 80, 580, even 880, metering lights, they're also off at this hour. but those should turn on within the next 30 minutes and you know this picture is going to change. now if you are taking 880 early this morning to the san mateo bridge, right now take a look. things are moving pretty easily here, no delays as well. all the lanes are wide open in both directions on golden gate bridge and so for those of you coming out of marin county, making your way towards san francisco it is smooth sailing. reed? all right, so let's get right to what looks to be a major escalation in the middle east. israel has fired a barrage of missiles and drones on iran following the attack on israel over the weekend. the u.s. official describing this retaliatory attack as limited. they say no nuclear targets were hit. iran is also doing some work this morning. they say they are downplaying it. saying that they shot down what they called just mini drones saying this is just a normal
5:05 am
friday in iran and in fact they're showing images on tv saying people are out and about already in their morning. many experts say showing this steady as she goes response by iran on a normal friday as they're calling it might be part of a broader strategy to minimize and de-escalate. >> that seems to indicate that iran is seeking to step down off the ledge, minimize the impact to the attack. and perhaps walk back down the escalation ladder from here. >> well, president joe biden did not want escalation and we are getting our first indication and look of u.s. response this morning. that is secretary of state antony blinken meeting with some meet -- some leaders in italy this morning. he was asked whether israel gave iran any warning. he declined to confirm any knowledge about that. but meeting with those leaders of other nations this morning, blinken not blinking. he is saying the u.s. is not involved in any offensive operations. reed, looking live now at scout park in also plea da. the mother of mario
5:06 am
gonzalez is planning on attending a vigil tonight after new charges were filed against three alameda county police officers over her son's death. three years ago today, mario gonzalez was pinned to the ground in that east bay park. the officers trying to arrest him held him down for several minutes before he fell unconscious and died. his death prompted protests and calls for justice and last night, alameda county district attorney pamela price announced new charges against the officers involved. here's andrea nakano. >> hey, hey, do me a favor mario. >> reporter: this happened in april of 2021. officers were looking into a case of a possible theft in the area as they tried to question mario gonzalez it led to a successful and the 26-year-old man was forced to lay facedown on the ground. family members spoke out after the incident wondering how this can happen to their loved one. >> there was no reason to
5:07 am
detain him. let alone kill him. the apd took a calm situation and made it fatal. >> reporter: the three officers now face involuntary manslaughter charges that can carry a sentence of up to four years in state prison. >> this is not a great day for the city of alameda. for the county of alameda. or for the family of mr. gonzalez. >> reporter: price says these charges came about after her public accountability unit had a second look at the case. she wouldn't say what the pau found to warrant the charges being filed three years after gonzalez's death. >> i can't comment on that. i can't comment on this. the mat receiver pending before the court. and so the details of how the pau came to this decision and particularly what my predecessor did. >> reporter: michael haddad who represented gonzalez's now 7-year-old son won an $11 million settlement in a civil case against the city of
5:08 am
alameda. he couldn't do an on camera interview but told us these are appropriate charges. haddad added after the civil judgment he handed over his case in a vote that had the evidence needed to pursue control charges. da price had nothing to do with the decision to prosecute the officers and will continue to wall herself off from this case. another matter she couldn't elaborate on. >> it was a decision that i made. it is a -- technical matter and i'm not able to speak on it at this time. >> reporter: two of the officers remain on paid administrative leave with the alameda police department. the other has left for another agency. >> so what is this meaning to the effort to recall price as da? we asked usf professor of politics james taylor for his take. >> unless i'm misreading her, she's doubling down on who she originally was by charging these officers, she's on the
5:09 am
wrong side of the recall forces. so in that -- light, i think she's suggesting she's ready for a fight. and she is willing to fight and this is almost a middle finger to her opposition and to those that would disagree with her. >> it's now up to the board of supervisors to decide when to hold a recall election. well, nicole the man accused in a mass shooting at two forms in half-moon bay will face a judge today. chunli zhao maintains he's not guilty of seven counts of first degree murder and one count of affeldted murder. he opened fire after getting into some sort of a dispute with a supervisor. get this, they found it was just over a $100 forklift repair bill. after the deaths of an entire family at a bus shelter in san francisco, our community may finally see some solutions. the sfmta just released this plan you see here on the screen to change the three way crossing at west portal avenue and force drivers to not cut across. the agency says the
5:10 am
move in the west portal area will protect pedestrians but there's some business blowback to tell you about this morning. complaints about how this could affect parking for customers in the area. in fact, this salon owner tells us the change would make it difficult for drivers to come in and go to her business and cross that street. >> if that's coming, then it's going to hurt all of us. it's going to hurt all of us. i can tell you almost every business owner in the area is against cigarette the existing street design is more than 100 years old and changes would prioritize people trying to head to the commercial district. >> if this goes through, you will likely see the changes coming in the summer. time right now #:10 in the morning. it is friday everybody. over the weekend we all have an opportunity to reset and take better care of our earth. an opportunity not only to have gratitude but live gratitude every day for earth day ahead. shawn? >> reporter: reed, good morning. we're here inside

look at san francisco right now. the gray you see in the clouds, we have confirmed to our very astute scientist who happens to be our director that's not a cloud from hippie hill. really i promise. let's talk about that though. first ever san francisco weed week is a series of events to build on annual celebration of cannabis on april 20th. or 4/20. but unlike years past let's be blunt. not an official 4 clash 20 celebration at hippie hill. that will drive cannabis fans to dispensaries around the bay. shawn chitnis is live this morning at golden goat park with more on their outlook for the industry. that park might be feeling a little bit lonely this weekend, shawn. >> reporter: hey reed, good morning. no low-lying clouds out here as of right now. and while we don't expect to see the large crowds that we have seen in the past, 4:20 at hippie hill. there should be still plenty of people out here and as you said they were not able to have the event as they normally do because of
5:15 am
financial reasons. those are affecting the industry as a whole. but talking to those involved in san francisco weed week, they are feeling good and they are optimistic about the years ahead for their industry. joseph snow says it's an exciting time for a new cannabis business like his to showcase their products and help develop their brand during san francisco weed week. >> there's definitely a lot of saturation but because we bet on quality and we didn't bet on quantity when it came to our production, for us it hasn't affected us quite the same. >> reporter: joseph says his company snow till is able to create a higher quality cannabis grown indoors by using a better soil that makes the plant healthier. >> it is definitely very competitive and cut throat but i think sometimes in those environments, some temperature best products really do come out and stand out. >> reporter: many people where used to seeing the large crowds inside golden gate park on 4 clash 20, this year the event won't happen. weed week hopes to give cannabis lovers and the city a chance to see what else the industry has to offer with
5:16 am
events all week long including on 4/20. like the art as big as made up of cannabis bags open every day. >> there's the huge forward movement we've never had before. we're excited to see how this ground swell of like public support and people understanding how powerful the plant is, is literally transforming the world. >> reporter: business leaders say the momentum to legalization and new advances in how they use the plant are only adding to the energy for weed week. but financial challenges aren't just affecting the organizers of hippie hill on 4/20. the industry as a whole has its struggles in this economy. >> every day is a still a battle for it. we're in the middle of a market correction. i think by the end of this year, you will see a lot of brands disappear and a lot of brands really establish themselves. >> reporter: weed week hopes to be a boost to neighborhoods likeso ma by bringing more people out during the day to meet growers and other industry professionals and in the evenings for cannabis parties. >> there's more things to do
5:17 am
and more maces that go on that are before. >> reporter: lower prices and higher quality products where the promise of those who grow the plant and believe it has a bright future in san francisco and beyond. all right, so while there's no official event here for hippie hill at 4:20, san francisco police telling us they're going to be increasing staffing through the city storm. recs and parks department has created an event they will be having here they are calling a day of play. a chance for families to get together and play a variety of sports. reed, back to you. >> i have never hit a volleyball in a cloud. [ laughter ] shawn chitnis, thank you so much. >> that sounds like the start of a poem that only reed cowan -- would write. well, this weekend cities all over the bay will be celebrating the planet and honor of earth day. tomorrow, there will be live entertainment and crafts and more at the san francisco
5:18 am
zoo's earth fest. for oakland's earth day the higher ground neighborhood core is planting trees and enjoy exhibits and entertainment at ox bow commons on earth day napa 2024. there's also a community cleanout. and on monday, cbs news bare presents earth day, a special look at how bay area scientists and everyday people are working together to protect the planet. our earth day streaming special airs on kpix.com. the free cbs news app and on pluto tv. and tomorrow, we're bringing you back-to-back specials, first at 7:00 p.m., the first alert weather team is going to take a look back at this past winter. another year of wild weather that will leave a lasting impact around the bay area. then at 7:30, a cbs news climate watch special. we take a look at the species threatened by a changing planet and how scientists are protecting life on earth. so jessica, some really fascinating specials that we can look forward to here. absolutely. and i'm just going to tease ahead right now
5:19 am
and actually talk about one of the ones that i participated in. it had to do with atmospheric rivers that we had in year. and i want to dive into that just a little bit more. we had over 51 atmospheric rivers hit our west coast throughout this past season. it was a very, very active season. bringing in plenty of rain widespread but was interesting enough is last year, we felt the impacts a lot more because a lot of those storm tracks were a lot more south close to san francisco. stretching down into l.. a. this year? well, they tended to be a lot more northward. so areas like the pacific northwest got hit a lot heavier but that's not to say that it's still not helping out the drought. i mean, california in total after that season is completely out of drought conditions. we're just 5% dry and you can see the range and locations of that down closer to yuma or stretching all the way up just north of shasta county and siskiyou county actually. so lots of changes from this winter season alone. heading into early spring. and now we're in the middle of spring and it definitely feels like it outside. gosh, we have
5:20 am
had such beautiful weather this week. dry conditions all week long. not a drop of rain in sight and i was actually telling some people earlier, this kind of makes my job a little bit boring without crazy active storms but also very engaging too because what we can do is look at our long-range models and there's still a slight chance of showers as we head into early next week. mid next week actually. there's a system sitting well offshore out in the pacific that will bring in cooler weather for us into next week. but for now, we're still sitting little bit above average. for example, upper 70s once again near areas like livermore and fremont. low 70s today all the way down near fromont actually and upper 70s near livermore and down into the santa clara valley, just like yesterday, we're holding on tight to above average temperatures with partly cloudy skies in the forecast this morning. we're waking up a little bit of the haze near san jose that will start to clear up in the afternoon hours but we have some big changes in the forecast heading into next week. i'm excited to dive into that because we cool down a little bit. we see more clouds rolling in. and i'll have more on what that means for us right around the corner. for now over
5:21 am
to you, reed. all right, ill take it from here, jess. we have an accident over in pleasanton on southbound 680 to report. chp is saying only the left lane is open. clean-up in the area can take until 6:00 this morning. so we're going to check back in to see when more of those lanes will reopen for you commuters. let's check in with our supercommuters over at the altamont pass. traffic is slowly starting to pick up for those coming out of tracy to get you on to 580 and you are going to see some brake lights here. but once you drive towards livermore, the roads are wide open. time now 35:20. straight ahead, what will happen to the warriors during the off-season? when they return, will the team look the same? up on the roof. as the drifters once sang. this is the view from our roof at the beautiful glistening lights of the bay bridge. maybe add that to your play list this morning. as you get ready for a beautiful weekend. it's 5:21. we'll be right back.
5:22 am
5:23 am
there it is... that feeling you get when you can... du more with less asthma. it starts with dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks.
5:24 am
dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... and can even reduce or eliminate oral steroids. can you picture it? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. get help right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines, including steroids, without talking to your doctor. who knows what you can do when you du more with less asthma. ask your doctor about dupixent. the most prescribed biologic for asthma. now taking a live look from san jose. you will have to wait until october for more sharks' hockey. the season is officially over. they were the only team in the nhl with less than 20 wins. since making it
5:25 am
to the western conference final in 2019. the sharks have the worst record in the league. let's take you to calgary where the sharks wrapped up their season last night. it was a long night for los gatos native cooley in net. calgary put 37 shots on goal compared to just 17 for san jose. and calgary wins, 5-1. now let's take a live look over at oracle park. where the giants will play game two of their series with the diamondbacks tonight. first pitch there is at 7:15. and the giants showed last night why they can be dangerous in the nl west with their ace logan webb delivering a gem. he tossed seven scoreless innings against arizona and only gave up two hits with five strikeouts and he even retired 19 straight hitters at one point. the giants led just 1-0 going into the 8th but bats came alive for a four run inning and san francisco goes on to win 5-0. they're now 9-11 on the season. so now let's take a live
5:26 am
look at chase center. it's a little blurry here. but behind there, i promise you, is chase. it's still stinging the warriors' season is already over. general manager mike dunleavy and the front office have a lot to talk about this off-season like will free agent klay thompson be back with the dubs. >> there's nothing that would make me think he wants to go somewhere else or we don't want him back. for that reason i think we can make something happen but it's a deal. both sides have to be good with it. but i think hopeful and optimistic. >> there's tremendous value in the three of them being warriors for life. it matters that kobe was a laker for life. i think it would be incredible if the three guys could play their whole careers here. >> that's what you call planting the seed. he's staying. listen. klay has been in the conversation of is he going to go and be a star for another team and another franchise? he's a star here. he may not be the main guy. but
5:27 am
klay is the type of permit i act like i know him really well but he has the type of personality where he can kind of take that backseat to steph. to draymond on any night and there are nights where he is the star. and so the opportunity cost is happiness. staying here with the warriors. >> don't you feel like this formula was really cemented with stockton to malone out of utah? i remember, i grew up in the days and the whole thing about chemistry and the mix and blend of players. i think there's something to it. >> i mean when something is working, why mess with it. we all have bad days and off seasons. right? >> come on. stay. >> that's good. a new chant. >> hashtag. all right, time now 5:26. in our next hour mark willard from 95.7 the game is going to join us, i can't wait to hear his take on what the warriors is going to do. >> better have the dog behind him. we need to see what the dog is doing on friday. from dogs to doolittle pandas, flossing their teeth on bamboo on a friday. it's all
5:28 am
about your dental health this morning. is there going to be a boon from beijing? in the form of a bear. mayor london breed thinks so. when you might be able to see pandas in san francisco. then here's a live look outside before we head to break. we'll be right back. (♪♪) i'm getting vaccinated with pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. come on. i already got a pneumonia vaccine, but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®.
5:29 am
if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia.
5:30 am
a perfect day for a family outing! shingles doesn't care. but shingrix protects. only shingrix is proven over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingrix today. it is 5:30 on a friday morning and good morning,
5:31 am
everybody. as you head in to 4/20 weekend once again. we've confirmed that cloud is not what you think it is. >> well, and we have confirmed, jessica, that oj and coffee is a thing. give us the details. reed doubted you. >> earlier we doubted you. i said look, oj and coffee you don't mix those because then you brush your teeth and it's gross but now you say what? >> it's a thing, thing, we googled it afterwards and we found out it's called what? oj espresso. we call it. espresso -- it's a thing. i mean, there was all these names oj sunshine. >> okay. so what you are telling me is i need to order an espresso shot to the studio. >> mix it with reed's orange juice and cheers to great weather, jess. absolutely. beautiful beautiful weather for us as we head into this weekend's forecast. it's still dry and it's still warm and we're sitting above average into the afternoon. a little bit closer to normal today compared to the past couple of days but i think it's worth noting that if you
5:32 am
have any outdoor activities, this weekend, you are just dealing with some of the best weather we've had so far this year. partly cloudy skies as we wake up with a little bit of the haze just near the santa clara valley. we're waking up to the 40s and 50s and we're going to warm up in the 70s later into this afternoon. 70s off in the east bay. 60s near redwood city. and we're going to warm up in the 0s along the coastline near half-moon bay. 60s near san francisco. it's interesting. we've had a little bit of high pressure system kind of move in this week warming us up above average. it's starting to move away right now but we have another system moving in that's going to bring in more warm weather for us into early next week. more about that. high pressure is going to continue to build in just into our monday forecast. returning the 80s into pockets like san jose and concord into antioch and then once we head into late next week, suddenly a cold front returns into the bay area. that's going to bring in a lot cooler weather and also bring in a chance of showers in the forecast for us. we were talking about this earlier. we've had such an active
5:33 am
season so far. i mean, over 51 atmospheric rivers hit the whole west coast. more on that coming up in a bit and how it impacted us in the state you know, drought and then on top of that, all the reservoirs too in the state as well. over to you. nicole. all right, thank you, jessica. i do have some traffic updates to get to that really are affecting your commutes this morning. all lanes currently closed in pleasanton for those of you wanting to take southbound 680. this is a little past the bernal avenue exit. caltrans crews are sweeping up some gravel from a spill that happened earlier this morning. chp is trying to have all the roads cleared by 6:00 a.m. taking this drive, maybe take the residential roads and some back roads which will save you more time and -- pack your patience as gianna would say. a lane is blocked on southbound 280 in san francisco. keep your eyes on your surroundings. as this is due to a stalled vehicle to avoid any further accidents over there. reed? all right, nicole. how is
5:34 am
this for a legal headline? san francisco versus oakland in a courtroom near you. the cities by the bay clashing over oakland airport's plan to add san francisco bay to its name. san francisco doing what they said they might. they're suing. and anne makovec reports some feel despite the suit, the plan may already have taken off. take a look. >> reporter: neither of these airports is in san francisco. but they both claim the right to use the name. and now it's up to a federal court. >> we do think that this litigation is waste of taxpayer resources. if oakland had chosen to engage with us, we would not be here. >> reporter: while officials with the port of oakland say they're just trying to clear up confusion over their airport's location which sits on the san francisco bay, san francisco city attorney david clou says it could cause travel chaos. >> we are concerned about travelers who are going to miss their flights. have -- mishaps.
5:35 am
suffer economic loss. we're concerned about the reputational damage to the bay area. when it comes to the travel experience. >> reporter: at least one airline azores has begun using the new name an the flight reservation system which david says means that sfo has already suffered economic harm. >> the name they have chosen, appears to be intentional to divert travelers that would otherwise be going to sfo. >> reporter: in a statement, the port of oakland said the renaming does not infringe upon sfo's mark. we will vigorously defend our right to claim our spot on the san francisco bay. we are standing up for oakland and our east bay community. but san francisco has owned and invested in the federaltrademar k for san francisco international airport for 70 years. and while the legal wrangling begins, the court of public opinion is already in session. oakland vice mayor kaplan posting recently -- how about if we call ours sunny side of the bay? and they can
5:36 am
call theirs millbrae? which is where sfo is actually located. >> all right, anne, thanks for the update. also the update on the hush money trial against former president donald trump. a jury is seated and 12 new yorkers will determine the fate of the indicted former president for the first time in american history. jarred hill reports from new york the next step is to find six alternate jurors. >> reporter: a jury of seven men and five women have been chosen to decide the fate of former president donald trump in his manhattan criminal trial. though not without a little courtroom drama. judge merchan excused one previously seated juror, a nurse, who said she could no longer be impartial adding quote, aspects of my identity have already been out there in public. also dismanagersed juror number four after it emerged someone with the same name was onceallegedly raped. >> then have a problem with a juror that can cause a mistrial. >> reporter: the judge has now
