feel unwelcome done. one of our restaurants, we are sorry to hear of this incident. time to get a check of your fork. a forecast this afternoon taking a live look outside once again across a san francisco. we i think that's alcatraz down there across from meteorologist kyla grogan is standing by. she's got details on what's going on. we dealing with some winds. i feel like there's just a plethora of things to talk about all the time. yeah, i just think i feel like a broken record lately with all this. but we are going to have somewhere. they contend with today's going to be pretty calm. but late tonight, things start to change, right? so we're going to have a wind advisory tomorrow. as you can see, it's for the east bay, the south bay and the peninsula. so the north bay is not in this. >> kick senate tuesday, 07:00am until 09:00pm tuesday night. and that's because we could see some of this wind gusting upwards of 40 to 45 miles per hour. so taking you into future when no one start off tomorrow morning because a lot of you might be, you know, trying to commute. we've got rain coming down and we're going to have this wind. and as you know, we get into 09:00am you can see continues
12:19 pm
when you're on bridges, right? it gets really tricky. really fast. when you've got wind combining with rain out there. so this is 1 o'clock. and i know my point is to show you that this continues throughout the day. it isn't until we get later into the evening. then it finally wraps up and it has everything to do with this low pressure system that's going to set up right off the coast, creating this wind gradient as it tracks right near the bay area. and then, of course, is going to draw in some of that moisture from the atmospheric river. and that thankfully is being pointed a little bit more directly at central and southern california that it is northern california. but that doesn't mean we're not going to get the rain. it just means we don't get totals as high as places to the south of us will. so still looking at for about an inch of rain in san francisco, you can see those higher numbers heading down to big sur. but i do think the santa cruz mountains are going have a very rough rides. just a time this out for you to get you ready tonight. we're just going to see clouds overnight. that's when some of this rain comes in. and by the way, some of these could be thunderstorms that 06:45am to 10:00am. so that is rush hour tomorrow. and i would not want to be on road. i didn't have to be. this is tuesday evening. there is a little bit of a back side on this before it all slides to the south and

12:21 pm
>> and said the investigation is a political witch hunt. trump also called on his supporters to protest in the streets. if he's arrested, folks always are out there protesting what they see as an unjustified, a restaurant, unjustified indictment. but you want to make sure when it's peaceful. we don't want history to repeat itself and an overly negative ways. violence is never the right answer. and i always worry about it. >> but this is another case of donald trump just trying to advance the interests of donald trump, not of the rest of the nation. so far. there's no official word that an indictment will be handed out the manhattan da's office declined to comment on the possibility of an arrest. that was trevor shirley reporting for us. chinese president xi jinping is meeting with russian president vladimir putin today. >> this this is she's first visit to moscow since russia invaded ukraine more than a year ago. some view the trip is a symbolic sign of chinese support for russia without

12:30 pm
supervisor shamann walton. joining us now to talk more about the controversial idea supervisor. thank you for joining me here this afternoon. i think the first question on everyone's minds here is how serious is this proposal? >> well, i think first people need to understand that the reparations task force, but this report together provided updates on 111 different recommendations. and one of the proposals, the cash payment. that's just one of many recommendations. and we still are waiting on the final report in june. and as a body of water supervisors and city leadership, there's a lot of work to do in reviewing all of the recommendations and siding with strategies to support moving forward. >> all of the recommendations, of course, said that i've seen they do involve some sort of payment here. i know a chicago suburb recently succeeded in making reparations available to black residents. they'll be using tax money from recreational marijuana sales to make payments to black households. any idea where the
12:31 pm
money would come from for san francisco reparations plans? >> yeah, again at the time right now, we're just looking at the latest update, of course, preparing for the final update in we are excited to say that we will introduce something that the board of supervisors tomorrow us in press release to let everyone know what that is. but we're definitely going to be focused on funding the strategies that come from the reparations task force. but at the end of the day, we don't have the final answers in terms of where resources are going to come from because we haven't even received the final report. it. >> do we have any idea what you're looking at in terms residents being able to receive reparations here in francisco. >> so if you look at the report of a talk about some of the criteria of warning san francisco between a certain time period, family, maybe just place a loss of property redevelopment did to our communities. there's a few criteria in there that is out
12:32 pm
line. but again, the committee is still having conversations about what the criteria may look like and what they need to do. so until the final report is received in terms of eligibility, we don't know and understand exactly what that's going to look like. >> i san francisco, of course, very black population. of course, one sword here today, fewer than 6% of the population is black in san francisco. however, black people make up nearly 40% of the city's homeless population. clearly there's a need to help the population. just when you look at statistics there, what would you say to someone who is against reparations in any form? >> well, we just say at the end of the day, we have then unfortunately press here in san francisco are fronting for decades. when you go back to redlining, when you go back to the fact that black families actually pay for education of other families without being able to even go to schools here in san francisco. when you look at the fact that we have courts have been held back from the the riches of

12:34 pm
course, the wealth gaps and that exist for us here and going. that's what i'll continue to focus on looking at all of them. coming up with the best solutions for black people. >> all right. so walton, thanks for joining us. >> thank you so much for having me. >> let's talk a little bit about our forecast this afternoon. taking a live look outside 6.80. i believe this into east bay. you can see those hills are green, green green. they usually are brown. kyla. i it never gets old to see the green right. and lived there for a long time. heading over that wannacry. kerry will tell you that it used to be green all the time. right before we got in so many a drought situations that we have had these years. >> i want to take us up to the sierra because that they're getting some blue sky out there, too. and you can see we're looking at donner summit right now in all of the lanes are clear. we've seen traffic rolling through there. >> so no problems if you're driving to or from the sierra today, that is going to change. however, just as we're going to get some rain, they're going to get some snow. it's not a big event for them. we're talking about maybe one to 2 feet up at the

12:36 pm
out there. some sunshine, even you can see as we take a look at alcatraz here and looking out on san francisco, there's certainly plenty of clouds out there, too. but we should stay dry today. so the clouds made for a little bit of a warm start to the morning about 54 in san jose right now. 53 in oakland. we're not going to get too terribly warm today, although you can see 60 degrees in brentwood bit about 55 right now. nevado in santa rosa just at 51 degrees. and so we go throughout the day today will be another below average day. we've gotten used to lately. a live look at the golden gate bridge shows you those nice blue skies. but 50's is about all we're going to see today rate. we should be kind of in that mid 60's range. but you can see the highs today. san francisco, just 52 could see a 60 degree mark there in san jose. but still below where we should be this time of year. lots of 50's on the map. so when i come back, we're going to talk more about this. this is the system that's going to bring us us some rain and a little bit of snow to the sierra time that out for you. when i come back in just a bit, we'll talk totals as well for now. send it back to the desk. kyla, thank you. >> friends and family of alexis, gabe gathered for her
