league counterpart. now, the revamped team is poised to repeat all the successes of 2023. last year, the san francisco giants drafted a teenager with their first pick. now, this version of the orange and black is turning to this hard hitting first baseman to help lead the way. >> it's surreal. i mean, everything changed so quickly for me. you know, i was graduating high school, playing high school, you know, state championship games, and then all of a sudden i'm out on the other side of the country playing baseball. i feel like i'm very gifted and not having to, you know, worry about all this pressure around me. i've kind of had that target on my back my whole life and my town, you know, kind of being one of those top players. >> and the san francisco giants will play the san diego padres this afternoon at oracle in the afternoon at oracle park, while san jose giants, they'll be playing in the evening. >> fans may have to travel outside the bay area next year, years before the team's official

move to las vegas. what we're learning about the discussions to move the team to sacramento as soon as next season and search and rescue operations continue today, following taiwan's largest earthquake in a quarter century. an update on the search for survivors. today marks one year since two people were killed in a san francisco park. what the family has to say about the tragic loss and the expanded reward being offered for information that leads to an arrest. >> from ktvu fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning. i'm allie rasmus and good morning, i'm dave clark. >> welcome to thursday. it's april 4th. you may want to take a jacket a coat and an umbrella. steve paulson is here about the forecast. what's happening now? >> i would indeed we did have rain already moving through here. and it's a cold rain, no doubt about it here. for many, some quarter inch amounts have already been reported to the north 40s on the temps. quite cold already. system is moving onshore. this is just the

initial band actually. kind of the warm sector of the cold front. the upper low is the key though. that will be over us as we head towards this afternoon. tonight you can see the circulation is right up here, right there. there it is. but it's going to do this and be over us, which means it will be back to december for a feel like here, rain develops a cold rain here below. average temps possible thunderstorms and low snow levels over the next 24 hours. well below average on the highs with 50s. let's go back to the traffic with ali. all right. >> we're going to go back to the peninsula where we still have the cleanup involved from that crash northbound 101 just south of holly street. and there's also a crash on northbound 101 at willow pass road, taking a look at the rest of the east bay commute, a new crash in the eastbound direction on highway 24. and this is at gateway, eastbound highway 24 at gateway. and taking a look also at there, highway four camera here. highway four westbound in bay

point or triple a traffic camera shows traffic moving okay. bay bridge toll plaza. you can see that the ground is wet, that rain starting to come down and it's a bit crowded there. 20 minute delay to get onto the span. well, there is an update on where the oakland a's will be playing next, and the news is that it may not be the coliseum. >> yeah. while they're still planning a move to las vegas, they may have found a temporary home for next year. ktvu bailey o'carroll is in our newsroom now, so they may be heading up interstate 80. right? >> dave and allie. good morning. that is right. the oakland a's are reportedly finalizing a deal to head to sacramento. now this according to a well-known sports radio host in sacramento. he says the a's will call sutter health park home temporarily. that is where the river cats, the giants minor league team, plays right now. >> the a's and sacramento. look it's tough to verbalize and it's

even tougher to write it because it's like well the a's and sacramento have are finalizing a deal. well not really it's not sacramento. it's west sacramento . >> so west sacramento would be their temporary home. they would share the stadium and facilities for the next three seasons with the river cats. while the a's wait for their proposed las vegas stadium to be built, an official announcement likely will come tomorrow, which happens to be the exact same day as the giants opening day in san francisco. now, this is a major development, as just 48 hours ago, the a's met with the city of oakland to discuss an extension at the coliseum. the city presented the team with a five year contract in which the a's would pay $97 million to stay there through 2029. but get this, they would have the option to opt out after three years, which is when they expect that vegas stadium to be completed. but the team would have to pay the total $97 million no matter when they leave the coliseum. so

the a's proposed stadium is supposed to be built on the site of the tropicana hotel, along the las vegas strip. the hotel shut its doors for good on april second, which was just a couple of days ago. though the plans for the new ballpark are still very much up in the air, though the las vegas review journal is reporting that construction on the ballpark could start as early as april of next year, the a's reported temporary sacramento home stadium seats over 14,000 fans. that is significantly smaller than the 63,000 that the coliseum holds, though the team's average attendance last season was just over 10,000 fans, a game reporting from the newsroom, i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> bailey. thank you. 705 is the time and new this morning. a 10th person has died in the earthquake. in taiwan, rescue crews recovered the body of a 65 year old man along a hiking trail. he was apparently buried

by heavy debris following the magnitude 7.4 quake. he had severe wounds to his head. rescue crews have been scrambling to locate and dig out other survivors. >> our time is now 705. here are the new numbers from that earthquake in taiwan. the death toll just rose to ten, and more than a thousand people were hurt , while 42 people are still unaccounted for. many of the homes near the epicenter still don't have water or electricity. >> at first, the building was side to side swing and then it trembled up and down the wall of our apartment is cracked. >> we live on the upper floors, so we don't dare to go home. >> now the biden administration says it's ready to provide any needed help. that earthquake hit the same area where a magnitude 6.4 quake hit in 2018, and that one killed 17 people. >> authorities are now doubling the reward money offered for information in a deadly shooting that happened at a san francisco

park. the victims were part of a group of people barbecuing and playing basketball at allis-chalmers park. in april of 2022, a car drove up, two people got out and started shooting 22 year old brandon cheese and 20 year old kieran carlson were killed. two other people were hurt. >> this boy was my day and night. his dreams were my dreams. they destroy me. >> it's super painful. it feels like somebody is ripping my heart out of my chest to see him happy, full of life. and this is all we have left. the pictures, the reward for information on the case is now $250,000. >> police have not said whether the two men who were killed were the intended targets of the shooting. the lead investigator says he's followed up on leads, but none have panned out. >> your time now 707. the cause of death will be debated in the trial of an east bay man who's accused of killing his girlfriend and then dismembering her body, 43 year old joseph

roberts is charged with murdering rachel buckner and then stuffing her body in a garbage bag near the bay farm island bridge in alameda in september of 2023. now, in opening statements, the defense argued there's no clear evidence showing how miss buckner died, and they asked members of the jury if roberts had killed her. why would he still keep her belongings like her cell phone in their apartment? the trial is expected to continue through early next month. >> a san anselmo man is accusing north bay law enforcement of tasing him and then trying to cover up the incident. bruce frankel says he was suffering a grand mal seizure when his fiance called 911 for help back in august of 2022. she was expecting emts to respond, but marin central police authority arrived first. the couple's lawsuit accuses officers of stunning frankel with a taser and then arresting him on charges to justify excessive force if the police arrived and

just asked a lease, you know, two questions what's going on? >> and has this happened before? none of this. we wouldn't be here. >> he jumped on him and tackled him on the ground, yeah. and it was very scary just watching the whole, scene. the whole situation. >> a central marin police officer accused frankel of resisting arrest for more than two minutes. that's according to documents reviewed by ktvu. in the case, the officer ultimately pulled out his stun gun and shocked frankel twice. an internal review found that the officer's use of force was justified, said central. marin's police chief released a statement about the incident and lawsuit, saying, quote, the authority will vigorously defend itself against this meritless and factually inaccurate litigation, which has not even been served upon the authority as of yet. unfortunately, this individual has decided to first litigate his case in the media rather than in court, where we

are confident the action of our officers will be vindicated. end quote. >> all right. our time is 709 california school districts worried about the impact of the state's new minimum wage law for fast food restaurants. now, the fast food workers in california have to be paid at least $20 an hour. some school districts worried they will have problems hiring food service workers for school cafeterias. school districts say they're already having trouble hiring enough workers since california became the first state to guarantee free meals for all students, regardless of their family's income, because that's increased the demand for school meals. now, ktvu has confirmed that aaron pascal, the san francisco board of supervisors president, will be running for mayor. peskin told us he will file the paperwork on friday and make an official announcement at portsmouth square on saturday. the supervisor claims his political experience and community connections would help him lead the city through a

recovery. he also says he wants to focus on plans to deal with homelessness, the drug crisis and affordable housing. patients are two terms as a supervisor between the year 2000 and 2009, and was elected again in 2015. now, other major candidates in the race to replace mayor london breed include supervisor asha sapphire, former supervisor mark farrell, who was appointed mayor after the death of mayor ed lee, and philanthropist daniel laurie. time is now 710 protesters shut down the entrances to a lockheed martin office in the south bay. we'll tell you why. the activists are targeting the weapons manufacturer over the war in gaza, and an east bay organization is bridging the gap between law enforcement and the ack community. >> heir

this van just hit me out of nowhere. i thought i was dead. after the accident, i was in a lot of pain

and i decided that i needed to get an attorney because i could not work. i called jacoby & meyers they had their own dream team for every need, every area. they took care of me like a queen. i would recommend you call jacoby & meyers they really went to bat for me.

are leading in shaping the program. it focuses on guiding young people to mental health resources like crisis hotlines and tools to manage anxiety. >> sometimes, when people are going through, mental health struggles, especially young people, it can feel like they're all alone and what things like crisis lines or even resource

centers can do is really give people a safe space to talk about their struggles and their issues and actually work through them in very efficient and, amazing ways that can be really beneficial, to them and to those around them. >> if you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 or chat at 988 lifeline. org. it's a service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. >> all right. our time is up in 14. a free nursing assistant program in sonoma county trying to reverse the shortage of health care workers. the health care career pathway is providing students with several resources, including free tuition for the three month program and other educational support. the state funded initiative received a $5 million grant from the state department of health care access to duplicated in counties all over the state. there's already a waiting list of people who want to join the program next class. >> san francisco state

university is the first campus in the cal state system to offer a major dedicated to bilingual spanish journalism students in the program helped the university's newspaper, the golden gate express, publish content in spanish. the bilingual spanish journalism major features classes in latino history and culture. in addition to classes on how to write and produce news stories in both english and spanish. those research and polls continue to show the divide between law enforcement and the black community. but in oakland, there is an organization trying to bridge that gap. ktvu is andre senior is here to tell us about the program that's designed to build trust. >> well, ali, trust between the black community and police has been a subject of discussion for a long time. but there's an organization in oakland trying to bridge that gap, working to address the issue. head on here. now the oc program of oakland is a nonprofit. it recruits young black male students from city schools, lead hours of the program, are members of law enforcement such as opd. the

support they give the students they do that through guidance sessions to help the boys deal with academic challenges, behavioral issues, and personal issues to. >> and that sticks with me is just like planning out my future. knowing what i want to do when i grow up. >> now, the model is aimed at assisting students who could potentially fall through the cracks of the system while introducing them to police officers who do more than patrol streets and make arrests by introducing them to police officers that look like them, was very important to know that they are doing the job because they love the community and love the people are sitting, and that that they're not always there to hurt you or to incarcerate you. and that is a key linchpin here in this program. now, as we mentioned, this program is a nonprofit. so it survives off the generosity of others. so coming up at 9:00 during mornings on two and nine, i will share with you how the okay program is getting some help from the golden state warriors. dave. and it's a lot of help to

in the form of a financial contribution. >> indeed. yeah. >> sounds good andre. thank you. >> let's check traffic now. 717 is the time we are starting on the peninsula where even though that crash on a southbound 101 at holly street. excuse me. northbound 101 at holly street is cleared and the lanes are reopened. there is still a backup behind it. there's also a crash. we're just learning about at southbound 280, just south of 92. so if you're coming south from the peninsula, down towards the san mateo bridge, that's where you will encounter that problem in the east bay, in the eastbound direction of highway 24 at gateway, there is a single vehicle crash and we see a crash icon there for the toll plaza that's just west of the metering lights. a collision there. a couple of one of the lanes blocked. we'll try to show that picture here in just a second, but let's move on to some of the traffic cameras that you see here. highway 24 and walnut

creek. slow getting over to the caldecott tunnel and the eastshore freeway. busy as well. you can also see signs of the rain and the stormy weather that is already here. so take it easy when you are driving. steve paulson is going to tell us more about that rainy weather. stormy weather really expected throughout the day, we could play stormy monday if we wanted for a thursday because that's what it is. it's a pretty good system here for this time of year. really good. maybe record setting for april 4th here for us to be this cold here system is sweeping through numerous lightning strikes yesterday out to the valley from that system. i mean, we had the low cloud deck. they had more than that. but we'll probably get our fair share of some lightning. the upper low is up here. right here. see this? whoops whoops whoops. hold on. let me do this in right there. it's right up in there. and it's going to come in and go this be right over us later today. so that's going to usher in some of the coldest temps we've seen in a while here. and that'll be tonight into tomorrow. all righty. cazadero. and the russian river has picked up 45/100 on rainfall. you can see rain moving in some breaks in there

but so a steady rain a cold rain in marin county, also over san pablo bay, now heading out to napa and solano county, pushing onshore. san francisco also over to oakland. parts of the east bay now and southward as well. might be a little snow on hamilton. there you can see little return there might be a little bit, i wouldn't be surprised. a pretty good little line moving in around santa cruz as well. so here we go. i would think there'll be more than 8/10 of an inch of rain for some here. i'll mention that, but there could be some isolated one inch amounts. this is an unusually seasonably cold system here. a third of an inch to 8/10 snow level will be dropping big time here, but thunderstorms likely with hail highs will be quite cool. well below average for this time of year. we'll see. upper 40s in the hills to low and mid 50s, accumulating snow at 4000ft looks likely probably even to 3000ft, maybe even down to below 2000ft. i mean, the forecast for placerville here is two inches of snow, and they're at 1867 at 1867ft. colfax as well. so that's low snow, 30s, 40s on the

temps here. quite cold for us. we'll stay in the 40s most of the morning, i would think as the low settles in the critical minimums for those who need to know agricultural interests, or if you work outside or just if you just put your garden in, would be saturday morning. there's napa being forecast for 33 saturday morning. now they'll probably be enough of a breeze, maybe some cloud clouds where it won't last too long, but it's just, you know, a heads up there as we go into the weekend. so back to december like if you will. morning rain arrives off and on. rain, wind, thunderstorms, low snow levels. >> thank you steve. it's a landmark in las vegas. it has closed its doors for good this week to make room for the new ace stadium. the lives workers, though, are trying to save before that building gets demolished. >> also, one east bay city is trying to stop city officials from hiring their family members. we'll tell you which city is introduced. the nepotism ordinance and how they're making the case again it

and the decisions we make now are going to have huge ramifications in the future. and we have a structural problem. so one time gimmicks, one time deferrals, those are not going to solve the problem. >> according to the office of the legislative analyst, the state deficit could be as large as $73 billion. >> our time now, 724 after a month of counting votes in the south bay, there's now a tie for second place in the race to replace retiring south bay congresswoman anna eshoo. evan lowe, the silicon valley assembly member, and joe simitian, the santa clara county supervisor, both have exactly 30,249 votes. now, the margins have been tight the entire time. votes were counted as low and simitian battled to see who will face former san jose mayor sam liccardo this november. while the tie is not official yet, the period for counting the ballots has ended. both san mateo and santa clara counties spent the

past few weeks double checking ballots with signatures that were missing or didn't match the final vote. to bring it back to a tie between simitian and lowe came from cured ballots and a tie in that second spot means both of the candidates will likely be moving on to the general election, even if it is a dead heat. >> then both candidates move forward to the november general election, and there will be a three way race for the congressional seat. >> the numbers are the numbers we certify to the secretary of state all the certification, the paperwork, everything is already on their way to the state. >> the staff for both simitian and lowe spent yesterday at the santa clara county registrar of voters office, inspecting every ballot either of them could ask for a recount, but any campaign that asked for that would have to pay for it. and the price tag is about $500,000. both of the campaigns say they're waiting for the certified results to announce what they'll do next.

>> the city of richmond is considering a policy that would prevent city officials from hiring their relatives. the city council is considering a nepotism ordinance that would prohibit council members. >> yeah, from appointing their family members to boards or commissions. committees and also task force. now, if the ordinance is approved, family members who are right now in city positions may be allowed to complete their terms. all right. time 726 protesters are outside of an aerospace space company in sunnyvale this morning. we're live out there as well to tell you what the protesters are trying to get across in alameda city leaders want to change the design of city streets to make them safer. we tell you more about proposals introduced in th city's latest e

expected to share that park for up to three seasons before the a's move to their new stadium in las vegas. >> well, the a's possible move to las vegas is forcing a group of hotel cats to find a new home. these stray cats somehow wandered into the tropicana hotel and casino and never left. the tropicana officially closed on tuesday and will now be demolished and could be home to a new a's ballpark. long time hotel workers who befriended these cats have spent the past few weeks rounding them up and trying to find new homes for them. >> everybody on all different shifts will come in and feed them, and they know everybody. when you drive up, they know the sound of your car and they come running. a few people here in the hotel have taken them to foster until they can get socialized, until they can get adopted out. >> tropicana workers have caught eight cats, so far, but are still looking for as many as a dozen others still roaming the hotel. property workers have grown close to the animals, even coming up with names for them.

they affectionately call one elderly cat grandpa. >> well, our time is 738. some bay area outdoor lovers are being warned to be careful, as our weather in the bay area is starting to change. as steve's been telling you, 11 hikers and three dogs were rescued. they were stranded on a southern california trail over the weekend, the ventura county sheriff's office said. a storm during the weekend caused water levels to rise fast on that trail, several groups found themselves trapped in the los padres national forest. a helicopter had to go in and rescue them after emergency responders just couldn't reach them safely. >> 3738 is the time and more on that dynamic weather that we are experiencing today. steve paulson is here to tell us all about it. >> it's a it's an impressive one. for april 4th. it will probably go down as one of the coldest ever, maybe the coldest ever. see, they send up weather balloons at oakland. it's called the oakland sounding, they send up going back to 1948 to get weather data. this may be the

coldest ever going back to 1940. i would think it'd be close. it's in the top ten for sure, but for april 4th, it's probably a record. thus we have some really cold air settling in, so high temps will be well below average here. 50s on the temps here. mount diablo, let's go up for a hike up there. are you sure you want to do that? it's 31 degrees last i looked. there it is, 31 south at 18. so snow? yeah. mount diablo, i think hamilton's been flirting with some. probably saint helena, but the lower snow levels are on the way. the coldest air arrives at noon today and is in locked mode until noon tomorrow, so i know tomorrow's important, but boy, it looks cold and rainy to me. not only today, tonight, but also into friday. the heaviest, though, will be later this evening. upper low is going to settle on top of us here. i mean, if you're in, if you know weather or anything, here's your low right there. one forecast model drops it right over us and drops what we call the heights to 531 millibars over us, which is unbelievable for this time of year. something you see in december or january, not on

april 4th. so i would get ready for low snow levels. rain. it's been some pretty good rain. i know about half inch is falling already in cazadero. petaluma's had 0.8. bodega bay 11 100. half moon bay 13. the city's had .05. so we're on our way here. pretty cold. rain has moved across san pablo bay, solano county, napa county, out towards contra costa. now some of this is also along the peninsula now moving into santa cruz. pretty good little line. looks like just went right there, right along highway nine. so some bursts of moderate rain. i would think there will be some one inch amounts after everything is said and done once we include the thunderstorms in this. but this is a cold rain here system. not only that, but to 8/10 to an inch i think on the high side, windy at times. snow level though is kind of the key tonight. tomorrow record low. maximum temperatures today there will be so cool thunderstorms with hail likely today tomorrow. but snow accumulations. santa cruz mountains i would prepare for this tonight. tomorrow so i mean it just looks like i don't see how it's going to miss. i

really don't because placerville is showing two inches of snow and that's at 1800ft. colfax at 24. winter weather advisories out for the mountains. 40s on the temps. they'll probably not even get into the low 50s here for some. if you're in the hills today, really dynamic cold core upper low arrives. i mean just one for the books. it really is off and on. rain, wind, thunderstorms, low snow levels, temperatures. quite cool here with 50s. more of the same tomorrow and then starting to get gradual improvement saturday. weak system might brush us sunday, then back to spring early next week. >> okay steve, thank you. time 741 a longtime clothing store in san francisco's union square will be replaced by a luxury goods store. we have details on the high end chain heading to downtown san francisco now let's check in with andre senior for a look at what's coming up in the 8:00 hour of mornings on two. >> well good morning. tax day is coming up and it seems to be hitting a nerve. while americans are calling for uncle sam's help. as new numbers show, taxes

hit new highs later on the nine. this ain't taxes. >> ain't no holding. >> hey, lay your cards down now. beyonce's riding high on the success of her new album, cowboy carter. it continues to smash records, but as one of the few black artists to venture into the genre, the question is how is it being received in the country music community? we will talk live with an expert about it, stay with us

is closed temporarily to repair damage after a car crashed into the front of the business. it happened yesterday afternoon, just after 1:00. a car crashed into the pillar in front of taqueria el buen saber, at the corner of 18th and valencia streets. police say it may have been an accident or a case of road rage, as another car reportedly left the scene. no one inside the restaurant was hurt, but the owner says he's not sure how long it will take to repair that damage so that he can reopen. >> all right, ali, time 745. we're hearing from witnesses in san jose who saw a deadly hit and run yesterday morning that police say was caused by a teenager. i heard the one car screaming up the road here, and i can tell it was going fast.

now, the police rushed to the crash at neiman boulevard and maloney drive early yesterday morning. a black chevy camaro slammed into a white nissan frontier truck. that truck driver was killed. later the police arrested the teenager driving the camaro. >> it wasn't until they all left. i looked at the skid marks and you could see the point of impact. and then about 25ft later, you can see where the truck came down. so it actually got airborne. now >> now the city of san jose says it knows about the dangers of that intersection, and they plan to build a roundabout there next year. >> the city of alameda held a traffic safety open house. it's part of the city's effort to reduce the number of traffic related deaths. the city shared information that's gathered about crashes and noticeable trends. alameda's acting transportation planning manager says changing the design of city streets is the best long tum solution. she says the city is trying to do that with its vision zero plan. >> right now, there are

bulldozers on the ground on clement avenue where we will have a two way cycle track and traffic calming elements and a pedestrian crossing elements and ada improvements. >> last year, traffic related deaths in alameda, there were three people killed and six people were injured in traffic related accidents. the city says that's an improvement compared to years past, but they won't be satisfied until they reach zero deaths in san jose, two more companies have announced plans to leave the downtown area. this is a live picture of downtown san jose, a bit rainy. there you can hardly make out the skyline. but here's the news about office vacancies. according to the mercury news, pwc, a professional services firm and the company it recently purchased, surface inc, are leaving downtown san jose for new offices at santana row real estate. experts say the increasing vacancy rate in downtown san jose is troubling. at the end of 2023, the vacancy

rate in offices downtown, was at an all time high of 35.7. a luxury retail brand is set to take over the building space previously occupied by the north face in san francisco. bulgari, an italian jewelry and accessory designer committed to a ten year lease at 200 grant avenue. the brand will relocate from its location a short distance away at 200 stockton street to the new space when its lease expires next year. the move is expected to take place next fall. >> our time now 748. the state supreme court has started hearing arguments about whether uc berkeley can build housing at people's park. now, the argument started yesterday at the state supreme court. the legal dispute is between uc berkeley and a neighborhood group that's opposed to the university's plan to build student housing on that site. the land is owned by uc berkeley. in january, the school set up a wall of shipping containers out there to close off the area to the public. the court has until july second to

decide whether the university can move ahead with construction. it is 749 happening today. community activists in oakland will be honoring the life and legacy of doctor martin luther king junior, marking the 56th anniversary of his assassination. doctor king was assassinated this day in 1968. he was on a hotel balcony in memphis, tennessee, when he was shot and killed. the anti-poverty group california poor people's campaign will hold a public reading of doctor king's beyond vietnam speech that will be at the oakland city hall plaza at noon. >> time now to check traffic 749 and we will start with this picture of the east bay, which kind of tells the story. once the rain started to come down, we saw a lot more crashes happening, particularly at the bay bridge toll plaza and also on 880 and approaching the macarthur maze. there's just too many to mention here, so we can show you some of the live pictures so you can see the

impact. it's having in the northbound direction. 880 past the coliseum. some slow traffic there. also a couple crashes in the southbound direction past this view as you approach hayward, your drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze will take you about 40 minutes. it is a very rainy drive, as you can see from the traffic cameras, and once you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, you'll have to wait there as well. 750 here's steve paulson. a lot of rain coming down. it's just the beginning. >> it's started, that's for sure. about a 10th of an inch for some a little bit more up towards the north towards sonoma county out to the russian river, lima valley also marine county has picked up about a quarter of an inch. a lot of thunderstorm activity in the mountains yesterday. our system, though, is swinging in. this is the initial stage of this front. cold front has to sweep through, but it's already making its mark. it's the key though is the upper low, which is right off about ukiah. that circulation is going to end up and deepen, which means it gets stronger as we go into this evening and be right over your house and mine. we'll look up and you'll see the circulation. oh there's the low. i'm just being facetious, but

you get the idea. rain has already begun for many here. not too much. kind of a steady rain, but boy, it's a cold rain and there will be snow. i would not be surprised. lake county, mount diablo, santa cruz mountains, late tonight. tomorrow saint helena for sure. hamilton for sure, but again, the coldest air doesn't arrive until noon today and doesn't really budge until noon tomorrow, it's going to be incredibly cold for. look at that line. santa cruz mountains. so there will be some bursts of moderate rain. i would think after everything is said and done, some of the thunderstorms will add to maybe one inch amounts for a few, i'm on the high side, the bullish side versus others, but that's that's just who i am. and i just think this system is too dynamic to ignore. and wind 35 maybe gust to 40 low snow levels that will be kind of the big message here. thunderstorms hail likely. well below average high temps, maybe record low. cool highs if you will, for april 4th. snow accumulating 4000ft, no doubt about it. likely three and maybe even to 2000 or slightly below. there's snow being forecast even for placerville, so you're

around 1800 feet 40s on the 10th. they'll be slow to recover today as this upper low hangs out today and tomorrow before it finally ejects out. some morning. rain has arrived, clouds cold off and on. rain. wind at time, thunderstorms, low snow. otherwise it's a lovely, lovely thursday night. 50 on the temps up in the hills, maybe only upper 40s for highs today. tomorrow. pretty active. nice. okay on saturday still cool. maybe a weak little system. sunday, then back to spring early next week. >> all right, i will look forward to that. thank you steve. in just a few days, millions of americans will be marveling at the solar eclipse. but the historic event could also make some feel anxious. the coping skills that health experts recommend for managing anxiety as the eclipse nears. and a basketball legend who grew up right here in the bay area surprised the university of iow women's basketball

some in the community complained to city council about the number of smoke shops in the city. city staff investigated and say they found 78 licenses for smoke shops about two per square mile. they also found three shops that had no license at all. city council is now considering a 45 day moratorium on granting any new tobacco retail licenses. >> as with the issue of there being an over representation of

tobacco products or even liquor stores, and very low disadvantaged and people of color neighborhoods, we need to press pause, take inventory, and discuss what we want our city to look like moving forward. now the public will have a chance to comment on that proposed moratorium at the next council meeting, april 16th. >> then the city council will take a vote on it. well, sonoma county is updating its cannabis ordinance, and they want public feedback. the proposed changes would allow most cannabis operations to be permitted automatically in industrial and commercial zones. it would also allow on site retail consumption of marijuana and designate cannabis cultivation as controlled agriculture for the 30 day review period will end on may 3rd. the public can submit comments by email. it is 757 caltrans working on the plan to

make highway 17 more resilient for the long terme. yesterday, during a public meeting, officials said the health of highway 17 is very important since it's a commuter pathway and evacuation route and a crossing for wildlife. leaders with caltrans say they they welcomed the help from the outside agency to create the best plan moving forward. >> our plan requires collaboration and insight from both the public and subject matter experts across various cities, counties, jurisdictions and disciplines. the end goal being to identify and prioritize projects and strategies that address a wide variety of criteria. >> now, some of the things caltrans is considering includes addressing climate disruptions using land efficiently and better, and improving congestion as well as safety. all right, our time is 758. the university of iowa women's basketball

received a very special gift from a wnba all star before the final four. sabrina ionescu presented each player on the hawkeyes team with a nike gift bag that included a pair of her signature shoes that sabrina ones before friday's big game. the shoes were yellow with the team's logo on them. the native of the east bay hugged each of the players, including their superstar caitlin clark, after delivering an inspirational speech. >> enjoy what you guys have done so far. enjoy where you're at, it's a lot bigger than yourselves, and i think you guys are seeing that from what you guys have been able to do in the last couple of years here, but how it's just changed sport and how it's changed the lives of so many people in your guys's area, but also just around the world. enjoy playing for one another. you're never going to get another room like this. there's never going to be another team that you guys are going to be on. that feels like this. be

proud of how you guys have, represented yourself, represented your team and what you've done for everyone, not just iowa basketball. >> now that's a pep talk. iowa, by the way, plays uconn tomorrow in the final four. >> it's super painful. it feels like somebody is ripping my heart out of my chest. >> howard ward doubles for a murder case in san francisco from a family seeking justice, two years after their loved one was killed in a park. >> plus, i was trying to get up, couldn't even find my grounding. and i was like, grabbing my phone. i was like, falling out of my hand. >> uc berkeley student interning in taiwan, recounting her experience during the deadly quake. the latest on the recovery efforts and ongoing rescue mission, and breaking news involving the oakland a's they are uprooting from oakland. just minutes ago, we got the official announcement that the a's will be playing in another area starting next year. >> from ktvu, fox two news this is mornings on two.

>> welcome to mornings on two at 8:00. as you look live at the oakland skyline this morning, i do not have a window by my desk, but i was walking by a window on the way in here and looked out and the rain was coming down, so we'll get an update on that in just a moment. thank you so much for joining us. i'm andre senior i'm allie rasmus. >> today is thursday april fourth and it is a rainy one out there. we see it in the cameras looking outside the traffic cameras as well steve. it's going to be one that people will have to watch out for today. >> it's february 4th. oh i'm sorry, it is april 4th. yes. it will feel like february 4th. no doubt. it looks like it feels like it. it's cold. there's already been pretty good rain for some. this is just the initial. this is just the first salvo, if you will, 40s on the temps and some of the rainfall. cazadero had 45/100 west of healdsburg, 39 100 zulema valley, almost a quarter of inch half moon bay 13 tilden park 11 100 san francisco has picked up 0.05. oakland with 0.03. our system is moving through and it's only going to increase not only with some of the intensity, but maybe some thunderstorms and

low snow levels. upper low. all signs are pointing towards it being right over us by this evening, which is a rarity for april 4th. so it will feel like back to december. cloudy morning, a cold rain off and on most of the day well below average temps, possible thunderstorms and tonight into tomorrow i would think low snow levels 50. that's it on the highs. all right. ali is here to tell us what. >> well that weather that you just mentioned steve also increasing the number of traffic problems out on the road. and even at this late hour in the commute, you can see from the map here, there's just too many minor crashes to mention here. just something you need to be aware of if you're heading out in the east bay, especially approaching the toll plaza, a number of fender benders and stalled vehicles there you see it in that slow traffic and northbound 880 past the coliseum. you can also see the rain coming down. it is pretty windy. highway 24 in lafayette. also an issue as you get to the caldecott tunnel. there is a stalled vehicle in the westbound direction san mateo bridge. also slow going because of the weather and bay bridge toll plaza. give yourself a lot of

extra time if you are driving at this hour. >> andre. all right, now to that breaking news involving the oakland a's. within the last ten minutes, we received official announcement that the team will be playing in sacramento starting next year. >> ktvu bailey o'carroll joins us with those late breaking details. so it's official now. >> it is official. good morning guys. yeah, this is the announcement that we just got into the newsroom came into our inbox. so the a's are moving to sacramento. this will be their last season playing in oakland and in the coliseum. they will now call sutter health park their home temporarily. that is where the river cats, the giants minor league team, plays right now. so they will share a stadium and facilities for the next three seasons, likely. while the a's wait for their proposed las vegas stadium to be built, a press conference is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. today at sutter health park, but there are still plenty of unknowns surrounding this deal. >> as far as the details go, i had mentioned on social media,

you know, one of them i know people are curious about his team name. and again, that's tough to communicate. no, i don't imagine they're going to be the sacramento solons or anything. it's just are they be called the oakland a's or they be called the sacramento a's, or they be called the california a's? i, i don't i imagine it'll be i'm imagining it'll be the sacramento ace. that's what i would think. i would think so. but you never know. >> now this is a major development. just 48 hours ago, the a's met with the city of oakland to discuss an extension at the coliseum. the city presented the team with a five year contract in which the a's would pay $97 million to stay at the stadium through 2029, but they would have the option to opt out after three years, which is when that new stadium in las vegas is expected to be built, though they would have had to still pay that $97 million. no matter how long they stayed there. if it was 3 or 5 seasons now, the a's new proposed stadium in vegas is supposed to be built at the site of the

tropicana hotel along the las vegas strip. the hotel shut its doors just two days ago, though the plans for the new ballpark still very much up in the air. but the las vegas review journal is reporting that construction on that ballpark could start as early as april of 2025, and the a's new temporary home seats, just 14,000 fans. it is significantly smaller than where they are playing this season at the coliseum, which holds a 63,000 people. but over last season, their average attendance was just over 10,000 fans, so they hope of course, that filling up that much smaller stadium will not be an issue. back to you guys, bailey. >> thank you taiwan. now says a 10th person has died from the magnitude 7.4 earthquake this week. the body of a 65 year old man was found on a hiking trail today. he had severe wounds to his head. taiwan's emergency response agency reports that more than a thousand people are injured and more than 700 are

still stranded. about 42 people are still unaccounted for this morning. many homes near the epicenter of the quake still don't have electricity or water. >> at first, the building was side to side swing and then it trembled up and down. >> the wall of our apartment is cracked. we live on the upper floors, so we don't dare to go home. >> the biden administration says it stands ready to provide any assistance taiwan might need. this quake struck the same area where a magnitude 6.4 hit back in 2018. that earthquake killed 17 people. a uc berkeley law school student currently studying in taiwan was talking to ktvu when an aftershock hit. >> aftershock right now. >> rachel lee is spending a semester interning in taiwan. she's in the capital city of taipei. that's about 100 miles northwest of the epicenter of the quake. she was just waking up when the earthquake struck. >> there has been smaller

earthquakes while i've been back. but not to this extent. i was trying to get up, couldn't even find my grounding. and i was like, grabbing my phone. i was like, falling out of my hand. >> while she's okay, friends living in other parts of the island nation witnessed landslides and other types of destruction. >> all right, 806 is your time. authorities are now doubling the reward for money generated to lead the generation. they hope to generate leads in a deadly shooting two years ago at a san francisco park. now, the victims were part of a group of people barbecuing and playing basketball at alice chandler's park. in april of 2022, a car drove up, two people got out and started shooting 22 year old brandon cheese and 20 year old kieran carlson were killed. two others were wounded. >> this boy was my day and night . his dreams were my dreams. they destroy me. >> it's super painful. it feels

like somebody is ripping my heart out of my chest to see him happy. full of life. and this is all we have left. >> pictures is the reward for information in the case is now $250,000. >> police have not said whether the two men shot to death were the intended targets. lead investigator says he has followed up on leads, but none has panned out. the cause of death will be debated in the trial of an east bay man accused of killing his girlfriend and then dismembering her body, 43 year old joseph roberts is charged with murdering rachel buckner and stuffing her body into a garbage bag near the bay farm island bridge in alameda in september of 2023. in opening statements, the defense argued there is no clear evidence showing how buckner died and they asked jurors if roberts had killed her. why would he still keep her belongings, such as her cell phone, in their apartment? the trial is expected to last through early next month. >> the city of pittsburg is

cracking down on illegal dumping starting april 18th, fines for illegal dumping will increase to $1,000 per incident. that's the highest allowed by the state. police will also be given the authority to charge the people who dump the full cost of the cleanup. the city will also use automated license plate readers to track down cars tied to illegal dumping. >> well, governor newsom and state lawmakers are still trying to figure out how to deal with a major budget deficit. while both sides have agreed to make a $17 billion dent in the budget leaked documents show leaders in the state and assembly do not agree on how to do that. members of the assembly rejected a proposal to cut about $1 billion in housing and homelessness programs. meanwhile, republicans say they have been left out of the negotiations and have criticized what they say is a lack of transparency in the process. >> we are in a huge fiscal mess, and the decisions we make now are going to have huge ramifications in the future, and we have a structural problem. so

no one time gimmicks, one time deferrals, those are not going to solve the problem. >> according to the office of the legislative analysis, the state deficit could be as large as $73 billion. well, a record number of people in california have signed up for health insurance through covered california. that's a state insurance marketplace created by the affordable care act. nearly 1.8 million people enrolled in covered california plans during the most recent open enrollment period from november of 2023 to february. that's the highest enrollment since the affordable care act took effect in california back in 2014. a deadly hit and run in the south bay. we hear from witnesses about the crash allegedly caused by a juvenile and police officers responded to a call about a man suffering from a seizure in marin county a couple of years ago. >> but instead of helping him, a lawsuit accuses the officers of trying to arrest him and tase him. the allegations and body camera video next and a quick

at the time, residents and business owners in san francisco's richmond district are growing frustrated by a wave of burglaries. people living in the northwestern part of the city say they have noticed a spike in certain types of property crimes. the dragon river restaurant along geary boulevard reported another break in, according to residents living nearby. this is the fourth time that restaurant was burglarized. a window was smashed and computer tablets stolen. >> i sant'anselmo a man is accusing bay area law enforcement of tasing him during what he was experiencing, rather a medical emergency, and then trying to cover up this incident. bruce frankel says he was suffering a grand mal seizure when his fiance called 911 for help in august of 2022. she was expecting emts to respond, but central marin police authority arrived first. the couple's lawsuit accuses officers of stunning him with a

taser and then falsely arresting him on bogus charges to justify excessive force. >> if the police arrived and just asked a lease, you know, two questions what's going on? and has this happened before? none of this. we wouldn't be here. >> he jumped on him and tackled him on the ground, yeah. and, it was very scary just watching the whole, scene. the whole situation. >> central marin police officer accuses frankel of resisting arrest for more than two minutes. that's according to documents reviewed by ktvu. the officer ultimately pulled out a stun gun and shot frankel twice. an internal review found the officer's use of force was justified. central marin's police chief released a statement about the incident and lawsuit, saying, quote, however, the authority will defend vigorously, defend itself against the meritless and factually inaccurate litigation which has not even been served

upon the authority as of yet. unfortunately, this individual has decided to first litigate his case in the media rather than in court, where we are confident the action of our officers will be vindicated. >> well, there's a new campaign here to prevent youth suicide in california. it's called never a bother. and young californians are leading and shaping the program. it focuses on guiding young people to mental health resources like crisis hotlines and tools to manage anxiety. >> sometimes when people are going through, mental health struggles, especially young people, it can feel like they're all alone. and what things like crisis lines or even resource centers can do is really give people a safe space to talk about their struggles and their issues and actually work through them in very efficient and amazing ways that can be really beneficial, to them and to those around them. >> if you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 or

chat at 988 lifeline. org it's a service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. >> an oakland based organization wants to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the black community. the oak program of oakland is a nonprofit that recruits young black boys, students from cities, schools. leaders of the program, or members of law enforcement such as the oakland police department . the model aims to introduce students to police officers who do more than just patrol streets and make arrests. students are supported through guidance sessions to help them deal with academic challenges, behavior, and personal issues. >> the stakes with me is just like planning out my future, knowing what i want to do when i grow up by introducing him to police officers that look like them, was very important to know that they are doing the job because they love the community and love the people of city, and that that they're not always there to hurt you or to incarcerate you. >> coming up later on mornings on two the nine, we'll share how

the oak program of oakland got an assist from the golden state warriors to continue to expand their program. >> for now, we are going to focus on traffic for a little bit because there are a lot of traffic problems to tell you about. an earlier crash at northbound 101 at holly street has long since been cleared, but you can see it is backed up all the way to the dumbarton bridge, one on one on the peninsula. so many crashes to tell you about that we can't list all of them on 880 and at the macarthur maze. also highway 24, in the east shore freeway. it is just a pretty difficult drive. once the rain started falling. and there's a new report of a crash on northbound 242 in the concord area at oliveira road, and it is partially blocking one of the lanes there. so give yourself some extra time if you can. >> all right. we want to turn. things over to the forecast now because it's something that we're going to be watching. and steve's been watching throughout the day. the radar very active

today steve. tell us about it. >> no doubt for today. coming down here at the mothership, if you will, here in jack london square. a pretty good rain. it's a cold rain too. if you haven't stepped outside yet. temperatures are quite cold for us. 40s on the temps here, and they're not going very far today. look at that. that's a beautiful visible satellite for april 4th. i mean actually a little break between yesterday's cloud cover and thunderstorms and the mother lode and in the mountains and then out toward the valley, but then over us now i'll put in the radar and there you go. that's what's moving through some pretty good amounts coming down here. show you some totals in a second. amazing upper low for this time of year. incredibly cold dynamic to get one of this, this strength deep, if you will, to be right over now last week the low stayed offshore and went down to southern california. all signs point towards this coming right over us later today. but anywhere 4 to 6:00 and deepening even more so, which is hard to believe, but that's the way it looks. cazadero 45, 100 west healdsburg 39 south city, a quarter of an inch of lima valley in marin and marin counties. also had a quarter of an inch half moon bay 13 100,

tilden park 11, and san francisco, 0.05. but i think these totals now, i haven't seen an update in about a half hour. so we've been adding to these 40s on the temps. i mean, this is a cold, cold rain. if you're in that highs today might be in record setting territory being so cool. 53. santa rosa 54, concord 55, redwood city and san jose. some areas in the hills may not get above about 48 or 49, so we get the initial band coming through the front and then we'll get the cold, unstable air. then the low has to park it over us. there are a few little breaks for some, but still some. you can see it's a steady rain. it's a cold rain stretching now out to solano county. contra costa county coming down pretty good there, oakland, concord, san ramon, moraga, also south city, you can see right in there and into the peninsula and now into santa cruz mountains. also, some pretty good lines have been forming. could be some light snow. there when you see this right in here. right. there could be some light snow. hamilton i'm sure is probably getting some snow rainfall. i think if you include thunderstorms in the mix, somebody's going to come over

with an inch of rain total. all these amounts have gone up napa 88 100. so we're leaning on the higher side. i'm not surprised by this at all. quarter of an inch, three quarters of an inch, maybe 8/10 to an inch. but low snow levels would be the next message here, along with thunderstorms and hail. really cool. high temps here 48 to 55. and we see this, you know, february not in april, but accumulating snow. probably down to 2000ft, if not a little lower. placerville showing two inches. that's at 1867ft. so you get the idea. there's going to be some low snow totals here from that big powerhouse low coming in. so morning rain has arrived. cloudy cold off and on. rain. windy. thunderstorms, low snow levels tonight into tomorrow. 50s at best on the highs steve. >> thank you san francisco giants have the day off before hosting their home opener tomorrow afternoon against the san diego padres. the season started a week ago, and the giants are already four games behind the los angeles dodgers

after being swept show.he ohtani blasted a 430 foot home run in the right field, stands as the dodgers won last night 5 to 4 as well. >> a taqueria in san francisco's mission district has to close temporarily because of a destructive hit and run crash. why? people who live nearby are demanding safety improvements. >> then what's being done to make sure a south bay highway, a busy one, in fact, is ready for
