day. this is what it looked like in the south bay. plenty of people out with umbrellas in san jose. we want to get straight over to meteorologist mark tamayo. mark, how long will this rain stick around and are things going to clear up for easter? well easter. there's still a possibility of a of a few showers, but the conditions should be improving quite a bit. >> but this time of year you have to be prepared for everything, right? some sunshine, some clouds, some heavy downpours. and that's what we have today with this system coming on board, it's a pretty impressive rainfall amounts. as you can see, felton in the santa cruz mountains, 1.65in santa rosa, 0.73 san francisco approaching a half an inch of rain and oakland, 0.34. so you can see the impacts with this system about a half an inch to possibly over two inches. winds have been picking up and a wind advisory for parts of the bay area. gusts could be approaching 40 to 50 miles an hour. here's our live camera looking out towards san francisco, you can see all those dark storm clouds paying us a visit this evening. and as we check out the radar, this is a textbook pattern of a storm. here you can see the circulation out here in the pacific. so there's two parts with this system. the first part is this front that moved through

the bay area earlier today. you might have a break in the rain showers. you might think it's over. but this is the second part. that's the unstable air that's going to move into the area. and that could trigger some thunderstorms tonight and into your saturday. in fact, already some lightning strikes detected on the radar over the past few hours, as you can see here. and as we come in closer, here's a closer look at the radar coverage. and right now, some more breaks in the activity, but still some lingering rain up in portions of the north bay. as you can see up toward clear lake, right around out toward winters as well, and also out toward the lagunitas as you can pick out on the radar coverage and a lot more coverage here from the santa cruz mountains, closer to morgan hill and gilroy. some action here showing up on the radar once again. thunderstorm chances going up tonight and into your saturday. we'll have more on that with your full update in a little bit. all right mark, thanks, bette. >> and a reminder if you want to stay in the know when it comes to the weather this holiday weekend, download our free ktvu weather app. >> hundreds of new cameras promising to help make oakland and the east bay safer. governor

newsom announced today the cameras will be placed on both city streets and on state highways, as our crime reporter henry lee shows us, many police departments already have this system, but this will be on a larger and more regional scale. >> governor gavin newsom says hundreds of cameras that read license plates will soon be in place in oakland and across the east bay, which will aid and support the efforts of law enforcement to focus on stolen vehicles. the governor made his announcement in a video recorded along hegenberger road in east oakland, a hot spot for burglaries. the camera system is from flock safety and one that's already used by many law enforcement agencies. the cameras take still photos of the backs of cars and not people or faces. from there, police can track down specific cars and potentially arrest suspects. >> this has proven technology where privacy is foundational and a core component of the effort. this is building on efforts we made just a few weeks ago with a surge of california highway patrol 290 cameras will be on oakland city streets under the purview of oakland police,

while 190 cameras will be set up on state highways in the east bay and monitored by the chp. >> images will be stored for 28 days, with many officers barred from chasing suspects in property crimes. supporters say these cameras will allow the cops to catch up to them later. we also feel that big brother isn't watching enough that that, you know, my big brothers, they always looked out for me and i think that the ultimate big brother is our local police department. >> if it could help address some of the immediate, you know, public safety issues around stolen vehicles and that kind of thing, i think, you know, hopefully it'll have it'll have an impact. >> others aren't so sure. >> the biggest unknown question is whose rules are we playing by ? >> brian hofer is chair of the city of oakland's privacy commission. he questions whether the chp's privacy standards will be the same as oakland's. >> i know my opinion is in the minority, that people are acting based on fear, and also an unproven, misguided belief that these cameras are going to solve

all our problems. >> they won't. james birch of the anti police terror project says money could be better spent elsewhere instead of these cameras. >> could we have, you know, professionals doing their work in the community to prevent violence? you know, those are the costs that we're seeing here on the streets in the city of oakland. >> it's not clear where these cameras might be set up, but we've learned that the system could be installed beginning in the next 30 days and be fully complete by this fall in oakland. henry lee ktvu, fox studios in union city, a freeway shooting is caught on video on interstate 80. >> a suspect has been arrested. the victim told troopers he was driving on 880 northbound near alvarado-niles road when someone in a green toyota sedan shot out his window after a road rage incident yesterday afternoon. police say the victim is okay but was injured by broken glass. the suspect was found within 24 hours during the search of his home. police say they found two guns and a large amount of ammunition, and san francisco police are still searching for more people who may have been

involved in a deadly shooting at the powell street. bart station. it happened around 930 last night at holiday plaza. people. police found one person who'd been shot. they were declared dead at the scene. the victim's name has not been released. police tell us they located a gun, but no arrests have been made. >> for the first time, we are hearing from the plaintiffs behind a lawsuit aimed at the city of san francisco over conditions in the tenderloin district. as ktvu christien kafton shows us, these residents say they want the city to take decisive action to put an end to open air drug markets and homeless encampments. >> conditions in san francisco's tenderloin are the ongoing center of debate, and now the center of a lawsuit filed last week. residents and hotels in the area say the city hasn't done enough to improve street conditions and filed a suit in federal court saying while they pay their taxes, they don't get the same services that other city residents receive. several of the residents chose to remain anonymous, but are speaking out now for the first time about

what it's like living in the tenderloin. >> it is dangerous to come outside. i work three days a week. i have to walk two blocks up where there's drug drugs going around in drug dealers. >> this resident is raising two children in the tenderloin and says it's not fair that they have to live in a dangerous neighborhood. >> all i'm asking for is just one thing security. >> the attorney representing the plaintiff says the city has allowed the tenderloin to sink into chaos. >> and it's a little bit more than that, because there's evidence that the city has treated this neighborhood as the containment zone. this is where the city has directed this activity, with the hope, apparently, if we can contain it to the tenderloin, then maybe it won't spread to other neighborhoods. >> san francisco city attorney david chu says everyone in the city deserves safe and clean streets, and that san francisco is making a good faith effort working with state and federal law officials to clear the tenderloin. all that, despite battling an injunction it says is hampering the effort.

>> the city has spent significant effort to reduce crime to disrupt open air drug dealing and address homelessness, all within the boundaries of the injunction that we are under. >> the residents said they were worried when they initially heard that the city had asked that their identities be revealed, saying they've already been threatened by drug dealers about coming forward. they say they're worried that having their identities revealed would be dangerous. >> it's what is going to happen. what's going to happen is that those people, they have threatened me to kill me. it's basically i'm not going to wake up the next morning. >> the city attorney says anonymous plaintiffs are unusual, and that the plaintiffs attorney didn't initially file the request properly. once that paperwork was filed, the city attorney's office says it filed its own paperwork, saying it does not oppose them remaining anonymous, leaving the matter in the hands of the judge. >> the fact that they have refiled the motion reflects the fact that that first motion was inadequate. from our perspective, we don't want to put any tenderloin residents in any harm's way. we're very

sympathetic to the plight of what's happening to the tenderloin. >> the question of if those plaintiffs will be asked to publicly reveal their identities is now in the hands of that judge. if the judge decides they have to reveal their identity, their lawyer says some of them will likely have to drop out of the case to avoid the possibility of retribution. in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox two news san francisco police say they arrested dozens of wanted fugitives in a sweep in the tenderloin this week. >> officers say they arrested 54 people on wednesday and seized 600g of narcotics during the multi-agency operation, 34 of those arrested had outstanding warrants. authorities with other city agencies also towed cars and impounded illegal food vending carts. police say these operations will continue for the foreseeable future around un plaza and other areas. >> the sfmta and supervisor matt dorsey cut the ribbon today at the newhird street quick build project at oracle park. changes to the area include a new bike share station that has moved t

bowl. >> took a couple laps. get some powder in right now. got some good turns. it's a good day out there. the biz is kind of down, but you know it was a good day. still caltrans is advising drivers to be prepared for chain controls and possible closures. >> a lot of that prep work right now and just doing what we can. and then when things start, really getting heavy with that snowflake, that's when those blades start hitting the ground and you're going to really notice them moving. any type of snow accumulation we get on the roadway. >> but on weekends like these, some like the soda springs general store, are excited for a boost in sales from locals and tourists. >> so we're really happy because we got a lot of snow now. a little bit more coming tonight, so we'll have fresh snow to ski on tomorrow and then again tomorrow night. so sunday we think will be a really busy day for others. >> not so much. mitch brown has been in the sierra for 30 years, and says business at the ski rental shop slows down when there's active snowfall. instead he says that rentals increase on clear days and it may be due to

clear roads, less snow, better road conditions, more people can travel. >> makes it a heck of a lot easier to do business, and it's also been a busy day for caltrans. >> they have crews plowing the interstate, clearing that snow off the roads, and also doing some prep work like laying down salt and sand to avoid snow accumulation in soda springs. maricela de la cruz kcra three news. >> and the snowfall continues in the sierra. winter storm warning in place right now in fact, if you take a look at the observations, everybody in the lower 30s for blue canyon, south lake tahoe and truckee, as you heard, chain chain controls are short terms. closures on interstate 80 right now showing you this. the forecast some snow into saturday, the chance into sunday. so we could have improving conditions by easter. and then on sunday we should have more sunshine making a comeback. here is the system itself. on the satellite. you can see this big circulation out here in the pacific. so two two parts of this system, the frontal band, move across, moved

across the bay area earlier today. that circulation offshore is linked up with unstable air. it's going to move in later on tonight. and into your saturday. that could lead to some thunderstorms here is the radar coverage over the past few hours. as we coming closer to the bay area. radar right now, not to widespread heavy rainfall, but still some scattered downpours out there. as you can see some coverage up in the north bay, marin county, closer to in novato and just right around marinwood as well as we move the maps closer to the southern half of the region, you can see right around morgan hill and gilroy also watching some action as we come in really close here on our maps here. still some lingering rain showers for this portion of the bay area. so right around fremont we're still tracking some rain showing up here and newark as well. so it's going to be like this overnight tonight and into your saturday with the added increase of maybe some thunderstorms. now, the winds have been up. we have wind advisories posted for parts of the bay area, oakland airport gusting to around 37 miles an hour. some more reports san jose gusting about 30 miles an hour.

here's our live camera looking out toward the bay, a shaky camera showing you those stronger wind speeds and lots of cloud cover out there, but also some breaks in the cloud cover. we're looking out toward the golden gate bridge and current to numbers have cooled off into the low to mid 50s as far as overnight temperatures. some clouds, and some showers. first thing tomorrow morning. most areas will be in the 40s. so as you can see, there's a system up here. this was the parent low we've been watching all week. but another system developed kind of within this flow. and you can see right here just offshore here this is the unstable part of that that area of low pressure. so with that we're going to keep a little bit of everything in the forecast as we head into saturday. we'll have some sunshine, some clouds that could move in rapidly and then some downpours that could be linked up with some thunderstorms or some hail. so that's kind of the game plan for your saturday. and then this actually wants to head towards southern california. so they're going to get significant rainfall down to our south. here's the forecast. models we do put this into motion. this is tonight 10:00. lots of clouds and a few scattered showers notice overnight into saturday

morning. we could still have some pop up thunderstorms. those yellows and reds moving up and developing and moving out quickly. and this is possibly 12:00 tomorrow. you'll notice it's just unsettled. so just be prepared for everything. don't don't assume if it's dry it's going to remain dry. if you go outside for a walk or for a hike. and then on sunday for easter, lots of cloud cover. this is 6 a.m. sunday, and then you'll notice there's still a little bit of activity that could pop up into the afternoon hours. so there is a chance of a few isolated showers that could develop, especially by mid to late afternoon on sunday. take a look at the numbers for tomorrow. upper 50s to the lower 60s. just keep an eye on the sky and the radar. check out the weather app. because the conditions changing rapidly throughout the day on saturday. scattered clouds on sunday. with that chance of a shower, then looks like we're going to dry things up and also warm up those numbers. a nice forecast, but into early next week for monday and tuesday. >> all right, a nice week ahead mark. thank you. coming up in sports steph is back in his old stomping grounds tonight against the hornets. bailey o'carroll has the story next in sports. >> and a quick reminder that you

are mostly busted at this point, but the madness. it is far from over to the sweet 16. we go. the trip to the elite eight is on the line. stanford is where we will start. they were taking on nc state and cameron brinks hometown of portland. get this, she said her favorite thing about being back home is getting to eat her grandma's pot roast. all right, second quarter kiki ery often would knock down the midrange jumper to extend their the stanford lead by four. she led the way tonight with 26 points under 130 left here in the second stanford is good ball movement right there. brink would hit that jumper up by ten now in the third. but this is where nc state really turned things around. they forced that turnover zoey brooks finished with a layup to tie things up at 43. all here nc state up one.

then james would make this three pointer madison hayes with the assist. there nc state would end up winning it upsetting stanford 7767 is the final. so nc state punches their ticket to the elite eight for the very first time in school history. but we do have to give credit where credit is due. of course, nc state earning that win, but cameron brink, this is her last game at stanford. she finishes with a heck of a college career with over 1800 points, more than 1200 rebounds, more than 400 blocks to go along with that, she's projected to be the second overall pick in the upcoming wnba draft. and really just a good day to be an nc state fan. the wolfpack, the lone double digit seed left in the men's tournament. first half winding down here. they're able to get the ball inside to a fan favorite. actually, a tournament fan favorite dj burns there. the junior listed at six nine, 275 pounds. he did only have four points, but evidence right there

that he is very much the soul of this team, something we know is essential to success in march madness. so they're ao ono the elite eight final. their 6758 and then we will head to the nba. i think for some quick warriors highlights, they were in houston or excuse me, they were in, charlotte. sorry. steph curry's hometown, every game really mattering for this team here. and they were able to get it done, just projected to be a 10th seed right now in the playoffs. >> bracketbusters all around thanks for w ching

we're really happy because we got a lot of snow now
