will it put the rumors to rest? do you know social media? yeah, yeah. there must be a different room. of course. ok . e will shutting down the golden gate bridge and a major east bay freeway. we take a closer look this afternoon at the charges. those protesters are likely facing. >> plus, connecting with nature and exploring the outdoors. we're getting you ready to take part in california state parks week and a festive fundraiser to help support artists with disabilities here in the east bay. >> a live conversation about this weekend's win win event benefiting the niad art center from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is the four protesters arrested for blocking the golden gate bridge, as well as parts of interstate 880, in oakland. >> now waiting to learn whether they will be charged and if so, what those charges will be.

welcome everyone to the four here on this tuesday afternoon. >> i'm heather holmes and i'm alex savage. the chp says those charges could include conspiracy , among others, but ultimately to the decision is up to the county district attorneys and ktvu christien kafton joining us now live this afternoon in san francisco with details on what demonstrators could face. >> christine. >> yeah. if you take a look behind me, over my shoulder, you can see a protest underway here at the jail on seventh street in san francisco. protesters here calling for the release of those people arrested on the golden gate bridge yesterday. and now the da says that will happen sooner rather than later. hours. for hours yesterday, protesters blocked access across the golden gate bridge. now, the california highway patrol eventually arrested more than two dozen protesters on suspicion of blocking access across the bridge, failure to follow lawful orders and conspiracy a possible felony for working to coordinate the protests across the bay area and nationwide. now san francisco office has to release

the suspects, at least for now, since she faces a hard deadline to charge them or release them. >> unfortunately, in order for us to make a decision on what would normally be the 48 hour clock, it would not be sufficient legally. and so it puts us having to make the decision today. i know that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to folks, but unfortunately, because they were arrested before 4 p.m. yesterday, it it moves up the clock a bit. >> now, just because those protesters are being released does not mean that they will not face charges. the da says that the california highway patrol still has to turn over evidence pertaining to the case, including video of the suspects on the bridge, and her office then needs to evaluate that evidence and at that time will decide whether or not to prosecute these protesters. the da also discussed the bay bridge protesters. if you remember, back in november, many of them arrested for blocking the bridge. many of those protesters received diversion as part of

the deal, she says. that was a deal worked out between the defendants and the judge. and if these latest cases from the golden gate bridge are prosecuted as misdemeanors as well, then this new batch of defendants could walk out of court with similar deals for community service and for time served or no time as a matter of fact. so that really, she says, is largely in the hands of the judge, she says that she does anticipate that a decision on whether or not to prosecute the golden gate bridge protesters will come within the next few days. back to you all right. >> something that we will continue to monitor. our christian captain live for us. there in the city this afternoon. thank you. >> and today, hundreds of google employees are holding a coordinated day of action in new york, seattle and silicon valley. they say google is supporting israel in its war against hamas in sunnyvale. demonstrate owners occupied the office of the ceo of google cloud. they're calling on google to cancel a contract with israel

for cloud services that provide facial recognition, big data analysis and object tracking just to name a few. they say that technology can be used by the israeli military, and with tensions rising over the israel-hamas war, we are seeing more and more of these protests. yeah, but the question is, are these demonstrations effective? >> well, joining us now live to discuss that is lisa mueller, a political science professor from macalester college in minnesota who researches the science of protest and social movements. really appreciate you being here. obviously, these demonstrations over the last few days have gotten a lot of attention. they've gotten a lot of media coverage, but how do protests actually become successful? social movements? >> yeah. well, one thing to consider is that we are currently experiencing the largest swell in protest in documented human history. and that's worldwide. but at the same time, protests are also failing at record rates. and so this has led me to do an

extensive review of what social scientists know about the kinds of tactics that tend to work better, on average, than others. and there is a suite of them. right? so it's not that there's one silver bullet to make any given protest work, but for example, some things that can turn the odds in activists favor include having a cohesive message. so for example, if activists are demanding a cease fire, then they should stick to that demand alone instead of mixing in sundry other demands like also protecting the environment and also racial justice. so one demand at a time can be really effective. also having crowds that are not just large, but that also include more than just the usual suspects. so the more that a crowd of protesters can convey novel information to witnesses is, the more powerful the message. so forming a diverse coalition can be very effective,

and also avoiding violence, so some of the most recent protests have been very disruptive, but not all of them have crossed into the violent territory. and that's really important because there's compelling social science showing that violence initiated by activists almost always backfires. is that being said, when activists themselves experience violence that can stimulate sympathy? and so, like the recent arrests, if the public views those as repressing protesters, that might actually work in the protesters favor. >> all right. so with these disruptive demonstrations like we saw yesterday here in the bay area and across the country, obviously that causes a lot of frustration for people out in the public, for the authorities and people's daily lives are are sort of upended for the time these protests are happening here. is there a risk that the organizers of these demonstrations alienate some of

the people who might otherwise be sympathetic to their cause? >> yeah. the key is some of the people. and so, according to the research, different audiences respond quite differently to disruptive protests like roadblocks. so studies on roadblocks in particular, show that people who are already, like, beginning to sympathize with activists might become more sympathetic with activists who engage in these costly kinds of demonstrations because it conveys their strong commitment to the cause. whereas other observers, especially those who identify strongly with dominant groups. so in these studies, researchers are looking particularly at people who identify with their white identity very strongly. they tend to lash back more and so it's not that there's ever a uniform response to one tactic versus the other. and so, you know, my advice to activists would be stay really mindful about who is watching you protest. >> okay, so let's now go to kind

of how you follow up with a big event like we had those those really big disruptive demonstrations yesterday. i mean, what is the next step? because obviously you can't pull something like that off every day. >> the next step is for activists, if they're trying to win their concessions is to be really strategic about how they frame the actions they've already taken. so what they want to avoid is framing those actions as an attack on any particular group, because when groups feel attacked, they tend to lash back. instead, a savvy activist should frame their disruptive tactics as being a defense of marginalized groups. rights and freedoms. and so you can have the same action framed in different ways. that, in turn, has really different implications for how policymakers respond, how bystanders respond, and for whether additional activists subsequently join the movement. >> and i know you write that for

activists showing that you have invested yourself in the act of protesting is really significant. and obviously, when you look at what unfolded yesterday, we saw people, you know, chaining themselves to concrete barrels in the middle of the freeway. it obviously took hours for them to be freed. i mean, that is clearly putting your your body on the line for, for something you believe in. how much more impactful do you think that makes the message? when people see what what activists are willing to go through, that's vital. >> i mean, we've all heard the phrase talk is cheap, right? and, protest is a form of speech . it's a form of expression. and people who are watching protests can sing, single out cheap talk. right and so the, the kinds of roadblocks that we're seeing, you know, activists chaining themselves to objects, activists getting arrested, activists forgoing pay at their jobs to spend hours at protests. these

not only can inconvenience the drivers who are stuck in traffic, they also placed a heavy burdens and risks on the shoulders of the activists themselves. and according to research that can enhance the odds of success because it shows that this talk is not cheap, right? that activists are willing to put even their own lives on the line to fight for their cause, and so this means that for activists who are the most marginalized, the least advantaged, they actually, ironically, have an advantage in protest because they suffer the biggest costs in terms of foregone income, in terms of susceptibility to repression, and so, yeah, i mean, that is one thing that bodes well for the kinds of costly activism we've seen in, in these recent examples. >> professor, we're just about out of time, but i do have one more question for you. alex and i have covered a number of protests over the course of our

work here at channel two. we've been out there and it was you could go up to a protester and talk with them about why they are taking the action that they are. yesterday it was a little bit different because at the various locations it appeared as though there was kind of 1 or 2 point people that had the authority to talk with the media. and so i want to go back to what you said about a cohesive message. and if you feel like that is a good tactic, a good strategy, or could that essentially backfire? >> a cohesive tactic can be much more effective than or a cohesive message can be much more effective than a mixed one. and that's because people who are in a position of power to potentially grant concession to protesters, they struggle to understand exactly what how they should respond. if activists are demanding too many things at one time, and so especially in left leaning movements that tend to craft themselves as intersection movements, it's really critical to sequence your demands. and so if today you're demanding a cease fire, but you also care about the environment, then wait

until the next protest to talk about the environment so that each specific event carries a single unified, clear message. all right. >> we have one issue at a time with with a clear message. really appreciate your perspective. lisa mueller, professor, joining us here to talk more about the science of protests and social movements. thank you for your time. thank you. >> an ongoing recall campaign targeting alameda county district attorney pamela price. >> and the county has now certified. she is now certifying the recall effort. we're live with what comes next here and what this means for parts of the east bay. >> anna barry weather the storm clouds have moved out of town. in fact, a bit of a warming trend. the warmest locations tomorrow could be approaching the lower 80s. we'll have the up te forecast

district attorney pamela price, who is often criticized for

being too soft on criminals. ktvu tom vacar joining us now live from the newsroom with a look at the next steps. tom >> well, consider this of more than 123,000 signatures submitted, 74,757 were validated. that's just over 1500 signatures more than was needed. the recallers are adamant that they want the recall sooner than later, because that is the law. >> we, the voters, have the right to hire you, but we are also the people who can fire you. >> our main reason for us being here today is to make sure that the board of supervisors follows the charter. the charter used specific words without delay. >> immediately they can and they must both accept the certifications by april 30th. and secondly, they must set an election on april 30th. that is, by law, both under county and state law.

>> now, according to ballotpedia, in 2020, two of the 19 states that actually have recall elections, there were 389 recall attempts made, 255 never made it to the ballot, 58 officials were actually recalled, but 45 recalls were defeated and 31 of those officials simply chose to resign . that is the situation. back to you. >> okay, so, tom, we have been following now this recall for some time. are there any other barriers those requesting the recall may face or will this move ahead? >> well there's law and then there's law. there are other issues that can be raised. and at the five we're going to talk about those. and some of those could smack this thing right into a courtroom. and if it goes into a courtroom, then it's a question of which law actually rules over the other law, which law is superior to the other. and that's something we'll get into at five, because it is very, very important because that's the one thing that could really put this thing, even though certified to bed. >> yeah. obviously this is a

challenge that a lot of people are following really closely. tom vacar thank you. yeah. >> all right. turning now to our gorgeous weather here today as we give you a live look out over the oakland estuary off towards san francisco. i do see some clouds out there, but when i stepped outside earlier this afternoon just to take a little stroll, it looked like nothing but blue skies. honestly, it was. it was downright gorgeous. i almost didn't come back. mark. oh well. but but i did. and here i am. and i know you are tracking a warm up here as we move through the next couple of days. >> well, alex, we thank you for your weather report too. yeah, absolutely. yeah, you're right on. it's a beautiful spring day out there and it's just hard to imagine. just three days ago, we're all shivering, dodging all those raindrops and even some snow showers in the bay area hills. so we have been clearing out those clouds and temperatures have been warming up. you can see the highs so far from today. some of the preliminary highs. lots of 70s for healdsburg, walnut creek, castro valley, gilroy and menlo park around 74 to 78 degrees. and tomorrow we'll probably have a few low 80s to report across the region. here's a satellite.

fairly quiet weather pattern up and down the west coast. you can see some high clouds out there in the pacific, but it is a nice quiet pattern. alex referenced some of those high clouds streaming in from the north. not to not a big cloud shield here, but just a few high clouds drifting in over the past few hours across parts of the bay area. current numbers out there. as you can see across the state, it is 91 degrees in palm springs. we have some lower 70s for los angeles. closer to home, sacramento 74 and monterey checking in 61 degrees. we'll check out some of our current readings out there with lots of 70. so it's a it's a nice afternoon out there. some of these sites are actually missing. hopefully they'll pop up on the maps in a second. but you can see santa rosa, 73 livermore mid 70s and san francisco in the lower 60s. here is our live camera looking out from the south bay. the hills. here you can see see some of those high clouds drifting in over the past few hours. but look in the foreground, those green hillsides. so all the rainfall kind of have that vibrant green on the bay area hills. and that will of course, continue over the coming weeks,

but we will gradually dry things out. but you might be thinking, okay, it's clear today the rainy season is over, but there are signs later in the month, late april, and we do approach may. we could see a shift in the weather pattern that could bring in possibly a wet pattern. so something we'll be watching over the coming days. but for tomorrow morning it is dry upper 40s to the lower 50s. here's the forecast model and then into the afternoon hours. we are expecting another nice day. could be a touch warmer mid 60s to the 70s and the warmest locations right around 80 degrees for your wednesday afternoon. so looking pretty good for tomorrow. we just have some minor changes headed our way as we head toward the weekend. a little bit of a cooldown in the forecast. we'll have more on that with your full update in a little bit. >> okay, mark, thank you. well, it is a perfect day to enjoy one of our many state parks. stay with us. we're going to have details on the special week that's coming up a little bit later this summer to encou rage all of us to

scheduled throughout the park system, where people can go and enjoy the beauty that is california. so save the redwoods league, together with california state parks and parks, california and the california state parks foundation, are inviting the people of california to enjoy what is a treasure, a true value and benefit of living here in california. >> yeah, i mean, i love the idea to highlight all of our great, beautiful parks, but but really, sam, there is more to this special week than just encouraging people to get out there and enjoy the outdoors. it's also about really our responsibility to protect these beautiful open spaces. >> absolutely. and the more you experience the beauty of these places, the more you are inspired to be a good steward. so each day of the state parks week, from wednesday through sunday has a different theme, just as you're saying. and a lot of it boils down to exactly that, that these are our special places and it's our opportunity to enjoy them. and it's our responsibility to steward them. so we get to explore new

experiences. there'll be an opportunity, for example, he and here in the bay area, out at china camp state park to do a meet and greet with the owls that live in the boxes out there, then the on thursday, it's all about nourishing our health and well-being. so events that are focused on, for example, yoga out at lake natoma and, just an opportunity to get out and exercise in the parks, friday is about supporting climate resilience. of course, it's important to remember that our state parks really are our best defenses in the fight against climate change. they are our shorelines, our wetlands, our forests that are absorbing carbon, and then of course, on saturday, it's about celebration and community. so much about our parks are about bringing us together, a healthy park system means a healthier community, healthier families, and just better lives for all of us. so i encourage everybody to go to the website, where you can learn a

little bit more about the opportunities out in the field, and that is california state parks week. org. and if you can't make it until sunday, father's day, i encourage you to go to the father's day barbecue out at mendocino headlands state park. >> that sounds great. those events sound fantastic. the al meet and greet, the one at the bottom i was intrigued by over at mount tam. can we put that back up? forest bathing? sam is there. what what am i missing? what? how does forest bathing work? oh it's just what it sounds like, okay? >> it's just getting out and enjoying the beauty of the forest. the clean air, of course , the opportunity to go for a walk and, so it really is just the hypothetical bathing in the clean air and beauty and freshness of nature. okay. >> and, sam, really quickly, what about admission fees and what about the cost to go to these community events, absolutely. that's a great question. well, many of the day use fees that are typically associated with california state parks, are going to be in play, but the events themselves are, are free. so encourage everybody

to go to the parks and, just expect that the standard rates will apply. okay. >> all right. we appreciate it. sam. good to see you. looking forward to it coming up in june. likewise guys get out there and enjoy our parks. >> absolutely. >> yep. enjoy all those. yeah. enjoy all the beauty. and for more information on california state parks weeks and all the events that are coming up this summer, just head to ktvu.com and click the web links drop down. you'll find a link to the state parks week website. >> should be a great time again coming up in june. all right. well, coming up next right here on the four we look at crime prevention in youth and could music music be a successful method. we'll tell you about the new program aimed at preventing young pe le

station and reduce recidivism in sonoma county. they are trying something a little new music. the county's juvenile hall just opened a new music studio to try to help young offenders find their voices. and here with me now is giovanni barbieri, juvenile hall supervisor and operator of this program, and herb polk music producer. really appreciate both of you gentlemen, for being here. giovanni i want to start with you. you helped to create this program. tell us more about the studio, which is called free voices. >> so we started this a few months back. my director asked, hey, is there would you like to start a recording studio inside the juvenile hall? and i'm like, absolutely. we, i'm a musician.

so it really had something, sparked something in me to be able to kind of, allow these youth to be able to share what they got here. and we have a lot of talented youth here. so it was an awesome opportunity. >> yeah. herb, i want to talk from you, from the music side. i mean, giovanni also said that he's into music, but you are the music producer. what does this provide for the young offenders? provide for the young offenders, it just gives them another opportunity to express themselves outside of the basic art, whether it be painting programs, art programs, or just, you know, hanging out in the rec room and watching a movie, it allows them to kind of dive deeper into into some of those creative thoughts. and, we're just happy to be be a part of, letting them share their story. >> yeah. allowing them to express themselves, too. giovanni i mean, i can see some of you know, what you've got behind you there. and this is no joke of a studio. i mean, this

is this is really top notch. tell us about what the, the, the young people are able to do once they get in there in the studio. and, and is it open to everyone? everyone. >> so it is open to everyone right now we're utilizing that as its incentive based. so your behavior needs to be top notch here in the juvenile hall, so those are the first guys that have priority to be able to come through here. we have opened up, herb came up with some great ideas to, for some contests so that we can allow all the youth the ability to kind of express themselves and get an opportunity to record in here. we have a variety of different instruments. we have, a riety of different just musical stuff to, to kind of engage them, we're really trying to kind of allow them to express themselves. we're going to start having writing workshops to kind of build on what they've already created, we also are looking at bringing some musical teachers in here to teach the instruments that we have here for the youth.

>> yeah. herb how many youth have recorded in the studio so far? and i'm curious to know what their music is like. >> oh, we've had about 9 to 10, kids come in and record and i think i think we're, we're pretty shocked with the outcome, in the most positive way, of course, i think sometimes when you, limit and put restrictions, on creative space, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a slippery slope. and i think the kids have made the best out of the rules and regulations that we've given them, and we couldn't we couldn't ask for anything more, they have definitely, tapped in to, to a different part, of themselves and it's only getting better and better as we keep recording. >> yeah. giovanni as i mentioned, you've been with the department for some time, and just yesterday i was talking with someone at the adult system and they too are tapping into music to try to help people

rehabilitate and reduce recidivism. i mean, i'm guessing that that's your hope to. and are you already finding that some of the young offenders there are reacting to all of this in a positive way? >> absolutely. i've been doing this 20 years now. i have not seen a bigger reaction to the kids that leave the studio literally float back to their units. the excitement that they have, the fact that they were able to express themselves in a way that they never have before, and to be able to do it here in the juvenile hall was a whole new experience for them, it has been one of the best experiences i've had in my career. i'm so stoked that they have this opportunity to be able to express themselves in a different avenue. and, and, they seem to enjoy it more than, than i could possibly imagine. >> yeah. and, herb, what about for you to know that you're, you're guiding these young folks and that hopefully, you know, their time spent in juvenile hall will be limited, short lived, and that when they get out, though, they're really make

maybe some better decisions, better choices and become better people. >> yeah, it's super important, for me to be a part of this chapter in their life, whether they're spending time here for three months or it might be three years, it seems like every kid that comes in here and records, they want to be the next one on the list. and that's that's, that that's that's super special to me, to be able to play that role for them, and again, you know, it's a team effort. so as much as it is the kids making the music, it's all it's all a team effort. and i think, i think it's very important for them to have this opportunity. >> yeah. and giovanni, final question for you, where did where did the funding come from for, for something like this, something like this. >> so some of the funding was through the state, it's for upgrades to the, to the facility

and for programing for some of the youth that we have here, we're also looking at volunteers because we really want to get people that want to work with our kids, not people that are after the dollar. we really want someone, you know, people that really want to work with our youth. they're a special group of kids. and, and they love the attention. they love being able to express themselves, so, we're hoping to see this take on a whole new adventure and kind of bring it out in the community as well, and transition these kids out to the community. and, there's studios out there that they can utilize once they're done in here. we're trying to set them up with with music so that once they leave here, they can go into any professional recording studio and bring their stuff in there and get it mastered and work on, work on things further from there. >> okay. and her final question for you, what about those out there who say, you know, what music. that's not what these young people need. you know, they need more discipline. they need more structure, what do you say to those folks, i say that they need to come in here and

listen and listen to what's being done, it's interesting because we set a rules and regulations list, you know, no swearing. of course. no no, no gang related activity. no. you know, any anything, anything that we feel like isn't a benefit to their progress, and without hesitation, they have been able to be so creative without using any of those, you know, negative aspects. and again, yeah, to anyone that that maybe thinks that this isn't the best avenue i'd urge them to, to, you know, take a deeper take a deeper listen and take a deeper look at what it is doing. because as as joe said, the kids, they just float on out of here and they can't wait to get back. >> well that's great. well, well, i can't wait to actually hear some of the music. so i'm hoping that you'll get that to us soon. all right, folks, hey,

really appreciate what you're doing there. and thanks again for coming on the show. and again, i do hope to hear some of that music really soon. thank you both. >> thank y very much. >> all right. up next here on the for today. it's a win win for art lovers and artists. coming up we're talking about an upcoming event to help make a difference for artists with disabilities. up next we're live here in studio with some of the artists taking part in this year's fundraiser for niad art center in richmond. >> ann and barry weather a nice spring day out there. here's our live camera looking out toward sfo. just a few high clouds in this picture. looks like we're to warm things up even more so in our dnes y

makes sense. i know that niad is having a real tremendous impact in, in richmond, where where you are. and i know, your art center is being called what's what's is part of what's being called kind of a richmond renaissance, in a sense. how how are you all seeing, this area sort of turn into an arts corridor? are you seeing that? >> yeah. seeing that, i see different kind of stuff in it. new and doing different kind of stuff. and teachers there teaches a lot of stuff about about niad and the teaching, you know, how you do your art and stuff, really focus about art. yeah >> and liam, that, that, that arts corridor. why do you think that's important to the community? >> oh gosh, i think you know, what's special about niad is it's, it's been there for 40 years. right. and artists like the ashland, felicia have been working there that whole time, right in the center of richmond. so for one, it's in the center of the city. historic, beautiful city in the bay area. that's us.

>> there we go. yeah. that's us. >> that's us right there with all that. that's right. surrounded by beautiful art. absolutely that deserves a round of applause. >> but yeah, i mean, this is why it's important. it's important to have a community. and there's nothing like the, the arts or creative expression to bring people together and to celebrate individuality and community connection. >> so, yeah, you can make all of those connections and celebrate the beautiful work that is happening at niad with the win win auction and fundraiser, the 12th annual it's happening may 8th, 3 to 7 in the afternoon. and it's happening at the bridge artspace in richmond. >> and it's online to online as well. >> donate perfect and bid on auction items on the internet as well. >> that is, you don't have to be there in person. >> thank you all for being here. you're welcome and for and for sharing your art with us. you're welcome. have a great time at

the at the celebration. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. heather. >> we'll send it over to you. oh, they are great. >> deidre and felicia, thank you for coming in. and thanks so much for letting us take a look at your great work. it really is something else. okay. well, something else, today's weather. really gorgeous out there. let's bring in our mark tamayo as we wrap up that little look there of the south bay. mark, i have nothing to complain about today, weather wise. yeah, weather is nice. >> not as beautiful as those art pieces, right? i know, right? yeah, but still pretty talented. a nice mild forecast for us as we head into your wednesday. you might be thinking, okay, the rainy season is over, but what's interesting, the long range forecast, it's still pretty fuzzy, but maybe toward the end of the month we could be talking about a pattern change that could bring in more rainfall above average rainfall. so the rainy season might not be over just yet, but at least in the short terme, we have a little bit of a warming trend headed our way. you can see temperatures the bottom row here, and everybody has an up arrow in the warmest locations for wednesday will be close to 80 degrees. here's the satellite. a pretty quiet weather pattern up and down the west coast, so no storms to

speak of. as you can see, just some high clouds moving in from the north across the bay area this afternoon. so we have partly sunny skies, mostly sunny skies, and we'll check out some of the current wind reports. it's that time of year. you probably notice the winds pick up, especially in the afternoon hours. and right now sfo a westerly breeze at about 15 miles an hour. we'll check out some of the current temperatures out there. we have some upper 50s out toward half moon bay, 70 around the bay, and the warmest locations inland in the mid 70s, as we showed you, we'll probably have a few more 80s to attract tomorrow afternoon. so here's that live camera from the south bay. once again, just some of the scattered high clouds paying us a visit this afternoon. overnight temperatures will be not as cold. we're thinking some upper 40s to lots of 50s out there. so partly cloudy skies, probably some pockets of fog. so it won't be completely clear tomorrow morning. and here's the forecast model. the upper 40s to the 50s for about 7:00 tomorrow morning. and then into the afternoon hours. these brighter colors resurface on this map here. so this is 4:00 and we're thinking mid 60s for the coast side, widespread 70s out there.

the warmest locations will be right around 80 degrees tomorrow afternoon. all because this guy, this big area of high pressure which is offshore, this will continue to build into northern california. so a mild to warm wednesday, 6070 warmest locations will be in the lower 80s. as we head toward friday, we'll see a change in the upper level wind pattern. we'll see this this little system move in from the north. this will send temperatures down a little bit in your friday forecast, but still is a fairly nice pattern for friday and then into the weekend. just some minor changes headed our way. we've been so busy over the past few months showing you this forecast maps. it seems like we've always had some rain to talk about and see our snowfall, but look what happens in a friday into the weekend into early next week. it is fairly quiet, maybe a few odd ones here in the form of some drizzle. so in the early next week it is for the most part a dry weather pattern, including tomorrow. some cloud cover in the morning is mild to warm into the afternoon hours. upper 60s for san francisco, 70s around the bay. we have sprinkled a few 80s on this forecast map for san jose. morgan hill, antioch and

fairfield. here's a look ahead. your five day forecast. it's a nice pattern for thursday. and then a little bit of a drop off in the numbers by friday and your weekend seems like we've always had a chance of some rain to track in the weekend forecast, but not this time around. just partly sunny skies on saturday and nice forecast into sunday as well so we can enjoy the spring like weather not only for tomorrow but over the next several days. >> okay, we'll take it. thanks so much, mark. appreciate it. well, we've got more news coming your way, but first let's head outside on this tuesday afternoon and check on traffic conditions. and boy, in that commute direction here on the san mateo bridge, it is really backed up a little bit heavier than we typically see on a tuesday afternoon. so keep that in mind. >> also coming up tonight on the news at 5:00, a neighborhood in napa is trying to make sense of the killings of two teenage women. three men have been named suspects. all of them are behind bars. we'll explain how the city is now trying to move forward from that loss. >> also coming up tonight at five, scott peterson in a san
