5:02 am
when they were met with an armed man who allegedly shot at them. apparently he hit two officers. sjpd fired back eventually injuring and taking the suspect into custody. so a lot happening there as we look at this live picture and it looks like a quiet morning bull then you see the police cars outside. and the police tape and that just means it's going to be an ongoing situation a days long investigation. there are street closures in the area and they are extensive jump. i looked into them and there's lot to report here. there and is as we take a look at the south bay right now. you know the good news is it's quite early. so where the street closures are, aren't affecting traffic too much. what i'm really concerned about is how long the closures will be out there and things will get a lot busier as that happens and we'll see more volume on the roadways. in the meantime try to say void the area if you can. bring you more information as it comes in. peeking of commuting over towards the south bay or even the fremont area, there's a closure right now. northbound 680 scott creek road to mission
5:03 am
boulevard. is completely shut down right now. hopefully get that cleared before the morning rush is really under way. busy start to surface streets in the south bay this morning as well as freeways. accident on 101 this morning as you head through sausalito. really not affecting the drive at the golden gate bridge and in fact things are pretty quiet there in both directions. but a look at that forecast, because there are changes on the way. big changes on the way. all right, right around the corner we have rain in the forecast for us heading into our weekend forecast. but let's start off with this morning and it's cool and it's cloudy a little bit along the coast but for the most part it's mild. taking a look at the daytime highs before we head into futurecast, which is such a great tool as we gear up for rain. take a look at this. wind speeds are going to be gusty for us and let's move to the map real fast. this afternoon, our daytime highs today are going to be sitting in the 60s near san francisco. 70s in our inland areas and it has been gusty along our coastline all throughout the past 24 hours. we're going to continue the see that same trend lasting
5:04 am
into the afternoon hours today. down into the santa clara valley we go, just like yesterday, still sitting in the upper 70s but watch what happens as this cold front moves its way in. i'm going to advance the clock on futurecast. and you can see right behind me, those clouds really starting to roll in. heading into the overnight hours tonight. as we gear up for rain rolling in in the early morning hours tomorrow. this cold front is going to impact all of us bringing in gusty conditions and rainy skies and widespread throughout the bay area. and of course it's also going to bring in a lot chillier temperatures and you just saw our daytime highs today. we're expecting to see about ten degrees cooler all throughout the bay area heading into the forecast tomorrow. so upper 50s and lower 60s felt anywhere from concord all the way over into our coastline. this cold front will continue to move its way down to the south and to the afternoon hours tomorrow. leaving behind clear skies behind it for our sunday forecast. we can see a speckle of showers here or there but it's going to be a lot lighter compared to the bulk of the action happening tomorrow morning. more on that coming up in bit. for now over to you. all right, thank you, jessica. livermore police are searching for a double homicide
5:05 am
suspect. investigators say 30-year-old yanston vasquez shot and killed a woman inside a hotel room saturday at the la quinn that inn on south front road. the identities of the victims haven't been released but police believe he knew one of them. the former captain of the dive boat this caught fire and killed 34 people was sentenced to 30 years in prison. investigators found captain jerry boy lynn never conducted fire drills prior to the disaster. he also failed to use any fire fighting equipment during the fire and was the first crew member to abandon ship. and closer to home here in san francisco, it appears a fire that damaged a historic building in the city's nob hill neighborhood was an accident. we first brought you the story as breaking news yesterday morning and you can see flames just shooting out of the three story building. this was located near the corner of jackson and leavenworth
5:06 am
streets. and luckily though reed, nobody was hurt. we continue following developing news on campuses this morning. reaching a boiling pointover the war in gaza. look at this. this morning, word of a fight breaking out on the campus of uc berkeley and we were there with amanda hari. >> getting very close to -- can you please step out? >> hey, hey. [ screaming ] >> reporter: video of the moment a fight broke out on uc berkeley's campus. the woman who shot this video who wants to remain anonymous said in a statement to cbs news bay area that she was with a group of pro israel students. standing across from the sproul plaza with an israeli flag. she says someone grabbed their flag and it led to this fight. she said the incident was terrifying and that some protesters followed their group until they reached the police station. with uc berkeley's divest coalition is part of the camp site. he was there and said the interaction was small. and the person who
5:07 am
grabbed the israeli flag was not from the protest. >> we mostly didn't engage. we had one person who i have never seen at the camp. none of us knew and we're not sure who in person is who entrust grabbed a flag. >> reporter: he says the injuries that happened in the scuffle are small compared to what's happening in gaza. >> bloody nose and one of our protesters got bunched in the eye. 40,000 people have been killed. their people -- we are seeing on the phones people limbs are gone. so again, like i want to reemphasize this is not about us. >> reporter: he says with finals and summer break looming there's no timeline for how long the camp will stay at sproul plaza and they're taking things day-by-day. maimed says they're going to continue to demand this uc divest from israel but they have put out a statement that the university as a well will not do that and the university's stance on the
5:08 am
encampment hasn't changed. >> the university increased security for anybody who feels unsafe and an escort service is available if you are a student on campus. you can call and get help. no arrests in berkeley but 2,000 protesters so far arrested as police move through many campuses flattening them and we are seeing clashes with protesters. this is the scene down south at ucla. watch this. >> get back. get back! >> so you are hearing get back and then the sound of those rubber bullets. that's on a college campus in these united states. riot police at ucla firing those in what was a nine hour standoff. in the end, 200 protesters arrested there. we're also hearing as the campus encampments get cleared by bulldozers you see there the journalists have been caught in the fray. she was rushed by the crowd and protesters apparently setting off flash bangs. watch this moment. >> so again you are -- some of
5:09 am
the clashes hearing some of very loud -- flash bangs. as officers are clearing. now you can see some of these protesters moving birds into the street. trying to create some obstruction for the officers. >> wow. we are seeing lawmakers on the federal and local level responding to what they are seeing on television across the country. republican lawmakers at our state capitol doing what their colleagues in washington did yesterday and also largely what president joe biden said yesterday and that's calling for strict action against protests that threaten people or break the law. in fact, california lawmakers want students found guilty of committing violent acts during protests to lose their grant money. that pays for educations. they also want administrators who don't respond or even participate in these actions to lose their state funding. listen. >> i think what the president said was exactly right. you don't get to destroy property and you don't get to commit
5:10 am
criminal acts on campus no. that's not free speech. >> well, this morning, governor gavin newsom has deployed state law enforcement to college campuses so a lot to watch and especially as we go into the weekend. stay with kpix.com and cbs 24/7 for continuing coverage of campus protests here in the bay and across the nation. still ahead solving the affordable housing issue in the south bay community. the new effort to bring new housing to los gatos has some neighbors worried they're literally being overshadowed. we explain. this morning we celebrate bay area bounce-back champions this time in san jose where pop-up opportunities make the way crystal clear for visionaries, we'll explain. here's a live look outside before we head to break. this is the view from the treasure island cam. saying good morning. happy friday to all of you early commuters headed into the city to join us.

5:18 am
the door, today don't worry about the umbrella but get ready because today the last mild day in the forecast for us this week. sunny skies for the most part throughout the bay area. daytime highs still sitting relatively above average in our inland areas. but once we head into our saturday forecast, and i'm about to time out the storm for you we can see some heavy rain at times throughout the bay. now luckily on the back end we dry up fast as we head into our sunday forecast. and then we're left with gradual warming trend into next week. so let's time it out because today is still not looking that bad. all the outdoor activities are definitely going to happen as we head into the afternoon hours today. first friday is going to be awesome but once we head into the early morning hours tomorrow, if you have any outdoor events that were scheduled, it might be a washout because here's the timeline of the storm. starting up in the north bay around 5:00 a.m. near santa rosa, we're already starting to see heavy pockets of rain fall and you can see that in the yellow and orange color here. as the cold front moves to the south close to 8:00 a.m., now it's impacting san francisco. slowly sweeping down to the south bay all the way into the 10:00 hour. san francisco is still getting hit with moderate rain at this point. we continue to
5:19 am
watch this storm track to the south and drier conditions on the back end of it close to around 1:00 up in the north bay but some lingering showers are still in the forecast for us. here we go all the way into the evening hours though. now it's making its way up into the sierra impacting them with snow and back here in the bay we're starting to slowly but surely dry up. right around the corner so sunday, we're going to see sangers skies in the forecast for us. in total close to on inch of rain though. anywhere from the coastline into areas like pleasanton in the north bay too. near napa. let's drop this and talk more about today. gearing up for the forecast today, it's still nice and it's still mild. just like yesterday's forecast. i mean, more upper 60s in san francisco and more low 70s near oakland. no more 80s in our inland areas anymore and antioch yesterday hit 81 degrees and today we're in the upper 70s and you really won't notice too much of a difference. but trust me when i say you will tomorrow. tomorrow that cold front moves in. and it brings in daytime highs down to the 50s. so these 80s and 70s we've been talking about for the past couple of days are
5:20 am
going to get replaced with cool chilly temperatures in the forecast tomorrow. luckily he warm up next week and the gradual warming trend in full force and upper 80s as soon as next thursday in our inland areas. big changes on the bay for us and we're here to get you prepared for the storm tomorrow though. for now over to you, g. thank you. enjoy the dry roadways while you can. as we take a live look on this friday morning. happy friday friends. yes, you made it to the weekend and here's a look at conditions over to the san mateo bridge. not bad at all and in fact we're feeling that friday light vibe as you head across the san mateo bridge this morning. westbound commuters heading over towards 101. not a bad commute at all this morning. so hopefully that holds steady and stays that way for most of the morning. we'll let you know if it changes. i want to look at a couple of other things though. focus on the south bay right now. couple of thing going on waking thumb morning. road closure in effect on san ignacio avenue. that's for police activity we'll have more information on that coming up. but in the meantime, try to avoid that area and those
5:21 am
closures if you can. it's still quite early for the morning commute and we're not seeing a lot of volume in and around that area. but as it gets a little busier as people get out and about for their friday, you might see that changing. so definitely use an alternate route. okay. good news all lanes now open northbound 680 there have closure there. right around mission boulevard. everything is good to go and 680 is not a bad ride at all in both directions and no delays right now on the golden gate bridge. everything is pretty quiet as you head over into san francisco this morning. in fact easy commute out of marin to the city. well, speaking of bridges, there's some food news for the waterfront and the bay bridge. the bay lights have been dark for months but things are looking promising for their return. the nonprofit illuminate says it's raised $10 million to bring the installation back. the lights were turned off last year due to the cost to maintain them. the bay lights are expected to return in spring next year. good news. 5:20. coming up, we are celebrating chinese american royalty this morning. the woman who broke barriers more than
