warning cecille juliet, a cal fire information officer, said it's important to have a good amount of defensible space surrounding your home and a go bag ready. it's always smart to have everything in place before wildfire hits, so people really year round should have their go bag ready and know what they need to take, like medications and everything that they need to keep their kids and their pets on the road for an extended period of time. they're also urging folks to have an evacuation plan in place. tell people in san mateo county, get ready, cal fire will conduct an evacuation drill this week. we're asking people who are living in this zone to volunteer to evacuate when they hear the high, low siren, juliet also told ktvu. firefighters have increased attention to forest management, using grant money to reduce hazardous fuel, restore forests and treat degraded wild lands to mitigate impact of future fires in oakland. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. all right. thank you bailey. let's check in with steve paulson for a look at our

weather. no more rain this week. not this week. no, i think we're done here for a little bit. our system is churning in the intermountain region in the rockies. that is a huge system for this time of year, and it will be a severe weather maker in the nth degree once it crosses the rockies and goes out into the plains there. we'll be talking about that, no doubt about it. a little bit of a breeze up in the hills right now. it's mainly westerly or northwesterly, so we'll take that. there's a few little high clouds dipping down from the northwest. some fog is offshore. 30s and 40s quite cool for us here. petaluma's 4038 up in kelseyville 41 menlo park. walnut creek is down to 4240, in orinda, lafayette. panels were 39. north dublin 40. for us this is cool. castro valley also at 40 degrees. so if you feel like it's a little chill in the air, you're right. 25 south lake tahoe, truckee at 32 mount shasta also at 32, mammoth at 24 cool degrees. after we get past tuesday, then all signs point towards a more high pressure and

lot to do with the beer manufacturers. the beer makers are the ones that bring this out, but it's great because it really celebrates the underdog. the cinco de mayo show was also held downtown over the weekend, and organizer jose cortez says lowriding and cruising customized cars is just one way that mexican american culture is expressed throughout the year. growing up in the east side of san jose, the lowrider community just made it a tradition to cruise around, and we grew up on that. and we just expired to, you know, show off our rides. and, bring everybody together. lamonica peters ktvu, fox two news. all right. lamonica. thank you. in san francisco, the mission district had a block party of its own celebrating cinco de mayo day back saturday. now, the outdoor festival took over 24th and folsom streets. family friendly event featured live music, dancing and lots of mexican flags for sale. it's

the tow trucks. people who are just waking up and don't know. you're asking, is there something i should know? yes. there is. southbound 680 at bernal, there is a crash that is blocking several lanes. they're trying to get it out, but the damage is done to 680. it's backed up from the 580 interchange. and this commute is notorious for being slow anyway. and this morning it's going to be slower. 580 to castro valley and then 880 south might be your best alternate. also, highway four is getting into the act with some slow traffic coming over the hill at bay point. you can see that from our triple a traffic camera. and at the macarthur maze things are doing well. still not a huge backup at the bay bridge toll plaza at 532. let's get back to the headlines. okay, sal. thank you. well, a cybersecurity conference taking place in san francisco at the moscone center this morning. and people from around the world, as well as secretary of state antony blinken will be there. ktvu is ali rasmus says it comes as state leaders put a

new focus on tourism in california. good morning ali. good morning dave. well, a new report released this weekend says that california tourism spending in california hit a post pandemic record when it comes to spending of about $150 billion, according to this report. that's how much money tourists spent coming to visit our state. and according to the report, it is up from the previous record of $144 billion spent by tourists here back in 2019. but the picture isn't so perfect. when you take a closer look at the details of this report. first of all, most of the increase in spending tourism spending is in southern california. according to the state tourism website. visit california. tourist spending in the bay area region wasn't quite as robust in 2023. tourists spent $37.7 billion in the bay area. that's down slightly from $39 billion spent in 2019. even so, governor gavin newsom touted the statewide increase in spending as a win in this video.

he circulated on social media over the weekend. magnificence of the san francisco bay. what a perfect place to announce our record breaking tourism numbers. when you look more closely at those record breaking tourism numbers, the report says that adjusting for inflation, travel spending in california is actually down 14% from its peak in 2019. so that increase in spending is due primarily to inflation and things just costing more when tourists come here. but the report does add that that travel spending has led to the creation of more tourism jobs now compared to four years ago. so the numbers are a mixed bag, which is why state and city leaders, particularly here in san francisco, say it's really important to continue to try and have a conferences like this cybersecurity conference that's happening here at the rsa conference that's happening at moscone center this week live in

san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. okay, ali, thank you. time's 534 people who left california to work remotely from a state where it's cheaper to live may still have to pay california taxes. during the pandemic, many people left california to live in states that have no income tax, like texas, florida and washington. but many of those workers are now finding out that some or all of their income may still be taxable. here in california, tax experts are warning people who've moved but still keep strong ties to the state and the franchise tax board could rule that they're still official california residents and taxed the money they make while working in other states. well, beekeepers across the country are staying very busy these first few weeks of spring. bee experts are seeing a huge spike in bee activity so far this year. the bee population in the united states has been declining

in recent years. there's been a widespread effort to protect and bolster the number of bee colonies. well, now, one professional beekeeper says swarm season is starting earlier than previous years. two days ago i got 20. yesterday i probably got ten. typically, swarm season doesn't start until mother's day, so we are definitely ahead of the schedule and some beekeepers say the main reason for this may be that hives of bees are splitting up, which spreads the bees across more areas, a new study suggests owning a cat may put you at a higher risk of schizophrenia. now, according to research by the university of queensland in australia, people exposed to cats could double their risk of developing schizophrenia later in life. scientists reviewed data from multiple studies about cat owners and mental health. they found some who were exposed to cats early in life later had higher rates of schizophrenia, psychologists point out. there's

still much more research to be done. our time is now. 536 the east bay spca hosted its annual growl meow and wine event over the weekend. the. based in oakland, it's the shelter's biggest fundraising event where guests could enjoy wine or beer while they play with the cats and dogs and they could also bid on things like a certificate for doggy day care. the shelter staff says this fundraiser helps support local pet owners who may be struggling financially. it's really important to recognize at this time not only are shelters faced with having a lot of animals, but the need in our community for a lot of people who are faced with having to potentially give up their pets, do they feed themselves or can they feed their pets or take care of them as they want? it's really important and we're committed to helping all members of our community, especially in alameda and contra costa counties. now, the east bay spca is also celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, making it one of the oldest shelters in the country. thousands of people

turned out for san jose cinco de mayo celebration. de la guerra de covid chito covid is the annual cinco de mayo festival, and cesar chavez park highlights mexican culture with music, food and booths offering clothing, artwork and much more. my kids are five and seven, so this is their first time experiencing it. and so i want to show them what the little bit that we grew up with. they get to do it too. one vendor displayed a new version of a reusable pinata that comes with an inflatable stick. maybe a little safer. yeah. all right. boeing set to launch astronauts into space for the first time tonight. boeing's starliner capsule set to launch out of florida this evening at about 730. our time with two nasa pilots on board, it is headed to the international

better now that all the lanes are open. but southbound 680 is still going to be slow from the 580 interchange. if you want to wait, or perhaps use vallecitos road, that might be a good call. highway four does have some slow traffic there. you will see that traffic coming over the grade. that's not unusual and you can see at the macarthur maze that traffic looks pretty good. we're getting more of a crowd at the bay bridge toll plaza, traffic is more. well, it's a little bit. it's kind of, not unusual here to have this. what is it? 549. that seems like a good one, for this or a decent backup for this time of the morning. i'm not saying it's a view to a kill , steve, but at least it's decent. a little tom jones there, so it's not unusual. yes, sir. all right. thank you much. all right. it's cold here. this morning. my goodness. a lot of 30s are showing up. petaluma santa rosa, kelseyville, even menlo park has dipped into the upper 30s. there are many, even

welcome back to mornings on. two people across the world celebrated cinco de mayo over the weekend. here in the bay area. thousands came together for some pretty special celebrations. it was a big deal. events were held in both san francisco and san jose. andre senior is in the studio with us now to show some of it to us. andre. it was perfect, right? because saturday rain. but sunday, yes. to be much better. nice yes. cinco de mayo festivities were in full swing in the u.s. it's one of the most celebrated mexican holidays, highlighting the country's culture and heritage. it also marks mexico's victory over france in the 1862 battle of puebla, now, over the weekend, events across the bay area brought out families lowriders, foodies and more folks in east and downtown san jose had two parades of their own hundreds of tricked out cars cruise the streets, a nod to the city's roots and influence. growing up in the east side of san jose, the lowrider community just made

it a tradition to cruise around, and we grew up on that. and we just aspired to, you know, show off our rides. and, bring everybody together in san francisco in the mission district, had a block party of its own to celebrate cinco de mayo. the outdoor festival took over 24th and folsom streets. the family friendly event featured live music, dancing, and a lot of american and mexican flags for sale. it's just a day when we come back into the mission. reclaim the streets, take it over, make it feel like when we were growing up, community familia. the festival also featured a number of vintage lowrider cars displayed by their proud owners. treasure island also held its first ever cinco de mayo celebration. it drew a crowd from both sides of the bay celebrating the holiday with food, music and, of course, dance. yeah yes. of course. all right. thank you. andre bay fc now on a four game losing streak, the women's soccer team

faced the chicago red stars yesterday at paypal park. bay fc opened the game with its quickest goal in team history. that goal coming from a surprising mistake from chicago's goalkeeper later in the game. though, bay fc's defense could not hold on, the red star saw the back of the net twice before the final whistle, handing bay fc a 2 to 1 loss. all right, our time is 613. the 49ers will show off their newest player at the end of this week, the rookie minicamp. is this friday and saturday. it will feature players who were selected in last month's nfl draft, as well as undrafted free agents. now, the selection of florida wide receiver ricky pearsall is raising questions about the futures of veterans deebo samuel and brandon aiyuk. the 49ers say they plan to keep both of them despite picking two receivers in the nfl draft. the ktvu talked to linebacker fred warner, who's happy to have so many weapons on offense. you can

never have enough of talented players at every position, but especially that one. you know brock having a lot of weapons to feed the ball to is going to be great for us. i know they'll come in and do a great job for us. now. the 49ers team will look a little different than the one that went to the super bowl. the defense has already lost several players to free agencies, including eric armstead. he was the longest tenured, active 49ers player before he was released in march because of salary cap reasons. well, ktvu got a chance to speak to fred warner while he was hosting a youth football camp in sunnyvale. it took place at the private school, the king's academy camp was open to both boys and girls between first and eighth grades. warner and several coaches offered tips and hands on instruction. they also took a camp team photo with the niners star and received an autographed card from him, and he explained why these youth camps mean so much to him. i never had like an nfl player come back, you know, in my hometown and do a camp like this. so to be able to do this

for these kids is really awesome and fun for me. you know, i try my mom put me in some camps, but, you know, i feel like i try to just do my best to come out here and make an impact on as many of these kids as i can go city warner participated in drills with the children and made sure to interact with as many of them as possible. he also says he was excited to see several girls among the hundreds of participants, and says it shows how much the game is growing. indeed. time is 615, with the weekend springtime storm that brought rain to us in the bay area also created record breaking snow up in the sierra. you heard steve and the uc berkeley snow lab recorded more than 26in of snow in the lake tahoe area in one 24 hour period. the most snow in a single day for the entire season in a lot of skiers here in the bay area. spent the weekend on the slopes of lake tahoe after they went first to local sporting goods stores. had a lot of people come in for boot fits

and tunes and whatnot. still looking to get up and have one last hurrah now. business was just booming all weekend at palisades tahoe, one of the last ski resorts still open in the tahoe area. well interstate 80 in the sierra is back open this morning. that's after the late season storm we saw this weekend. it brought a lot of snow. i want to show you what it looked like on eastbound interstate 80 in kingvale saturday afternoon. that looks like january or february, but that is may. cars and trucks were at a complete stop as caltrans shut down the highway for hours. it reopened saturday night, but chain controls were in place until about midday yesterday. chain controls in may . i don't i don't think i ever remember that. wow okay, man. time is 617. hey, sal, you've been busy this morning. i'm assuming you fixed some of the problems. well, you know, and some of the problems have been

cleared up, which is nice, dave, but we still have the slow traffic. let's go right to our triple a traffic cameras and show you that 80 westbound is backed up nearly to the maze. that's a typical for here it is 617 in the morning. that's what we expect to see. likewise for the san mateo bridge. it's crowded, but it's not. stop and go. and if you drive on 680 south through pleasanton, that is slow. we had an earlier crash. the blame for that. things are getting a little better. all the lanes are open. however, we did have some problems there to the construction zone. southbound 680 is slower, 880 is not all that slow as you head south. so if you are driving to the south bay, you will see that traffic is moving along pretty well. no problems here. 618 let's bring steve in here. thank you sir. all right. we'll get to it here for us. this is a cold morning after the rain on saturday. petaluma and sonoma state have dropped to 36 degrees here this morning. sonoma itself proper 37. good old occidental there.

the bay area. steve southbound 680. we're going to go back there because of 680. it is going to be a little bit slow this morning because of earlier slowdowns here, an earlier crash right near the bernal exit. and that freeway is always notorious for slow traffic. if something happens, it takes a while for it to unwind. that's what's happening this morning. also, if you're driving on the san mateo bridge, a little slowing there, no problems. on 280 in san jose, and we got to check with the bay bridge toll plaza, our triple a traffic camera showing it backed up to the maze. 631 let's get back to the headlines. all right. thank you. sal. a new report released this weekend says tourism spending in california hit a post pandemic record. some great news this morning. tourists spent $150 billion visiting our state last year. wow. well ktvu is ali rasmus looks closer at all those numbers and the reasons for the increase in tourism. ali good morning. good morning dave and

pam. the short answer for the reason in that increase is inflation. things cost more in 2023 than they did four years ago before the pandemic. and that includes vacations. even so, governor gavin newsom is touting the increase in tourism spending statewide as a win for the state. in a video he circulated on social media over the weekend. take a look. magnificence of the san francisco bay what a perfect place to announce our record breaking tourism numbers. the new report, released this weekend, says people coming to visit california spent $150 billion last year, up from the previous record of $144 billion back in 2019. the money spent varies by region and it wasn't quite as robust here in the bay area compared to the rest of the state. according to the state tourism website visit california. in 2023, tourists spent 37.7 billion in the bay area, down slightly from 39 billion spent here in 2019. but looking at the statewide picture again, a much of the increase is

because of inflation. the report says itself that adjusting for inflation, travel spending in california is actually down 14% from its peak in 2019. so the boost in tourism spending is because things cost more, not because more people are coming to our state. however the report does add that 98% of travel industry jobs that existed here in california before the pandemic have returned. and so the report says that that is also a good indicator of a recovery of the tourism sector here in our state. live in san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news, okay, ali, thank you. time now 633. one of alameda county's smallest cities is also among the state's fastest growing areas. a new state report found emeryville's population climbed above 13,000 at the beginning of this year, a 5% increase over the population of emeryville from january of last year. it is the second

largest growth rate of any california city, with at least 10,000 people. the city of lathrop, ten miles south of stockton, was number one. oakland mayor xiang tao has joined other city leaders from across the country to ask for more federal resources to combat homelessness. tao made that request during a meeting of big city mayors in washington, dc, last week. she wants the federal government to boost the number of housing vouchers available to low income residents in oakland. under the plan, recipients generally spend 30% of their income on rent, and the vouchers cover the rest. recent studies have shown oakland's homeless population doubled between 2015 and 2022. our time is 635. plans to build farm worker housing in half moon bay are at a standstill right now. the mass shooting last year, where eight farm workers were shot and killed exposed the poor living condition of farm workers. now, after the shooting, state and local leaders called for new housing to be built for the

agricultural workers in that area. but now a proposal to build a five story, 40 unit apartment complex for senior farm workers in downtown half moon bay, it's getting pushback from the city's planning commission during the course of two hearings in recent weeks, commissioners postponed their vote on the project, and they raised concerns over the design of the building, the height and the impact on parking. well, this week is wildfire preparedness week here in california. it's a time to be reminded about how to prevent fires and how to escape one. this year, the theme of wildfire preparedness week is meeting the mission through partnerships, highlighting the importance of collective responsibility in managing wildfire risk. cal fire, lnu and sonoma county geared up for the week with crews taking part in the annual fire preparedness exercise. this. so this week we'll be participating in a readiness drill at ishi camp with many of

the crews throughout the state. this readiness drill is to test the preparedness of our crew. it consists of tool outs, hikes, and a line cut to see where we're at getting ready for fire season. and we've been practicing for that for the last few weeks. cal fire says it has made significant progress on fuel reduction and mitigation, and last year, more than 105,000 acres of fuel and grasses were treated. cal fire says fuel reduction projects are essential to slowing down and reducing the intensity of wildfires. the democratic party is hoping a new policy on marijuana will gain the support of younger voters. the biden administration. it will help our country close the book. the biden administration wants to ease federal restrictions on cannabis for the first time in 50 years. republicans believe it is purely a political move. others say it presents an opportunity for the country to end the war on cannabis. it will help our country close the book once and for all on the awful and harmful and failed war on drugs. i put this in the same category as

proclaiming that you're going to forgive student loans. this is an appeal to younger voters. schumer and other liberals are also pushing legislation to decriminalize cannabis at the federal level and expunge records of those with low grade marijuana offenses. our time is 637. this fall, california voters could decide to require high school students to take a class on managing their finances. the california personal finance act is close to being certified by the secretary of state. if it's approved, financial literacy education will be added to the list of high school graduation requirements, beginning with the class of 2030. some of the topics would include paying for college retirement accounts and learning how the stock market works. star wars fans in san francisco took their fandom to a new level this weekend. moviegoers watched all nine episodes of the star wars franchise celebrating may the force be with you day now alamo
