giving a live look in san francisco, mostly clear, cold conditions. we are going to be mainly dry for your bay area weekend but the chill will remain in the air, tracking some rain for your bay area monday, i will have a look at detrails coming

up. thank you very much. president trump's former deputy campaign chairman rick gates pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy charges and for lying to the facebook i under this plea agreement gates has agreed to cooperate in special counsel mueller's investigation into possible collusion during the 2016 presidential election. does not involve any conduct connected to the president trump campaign. is he going to give dirt on paul man a north or does mueller and his team think he has dirt on the trump campaign? my guess it's on manafort and squeeze manafort for more information. >> gates is the fifth person to plead guilty in the russia investigation, yesterday the white house responded by saying there is no evidence of any russian collusion involving the trump campaign. the california democratic

party state convention continue its today in san diego. pamela harris and house minority leader nancy pelosi will be among the key note speakers. tomorrow delegates will adopt a formal platform for the democratic party. there is a chill in the air this morning and it is sticking around for awhile, in the foreseeable future. >> how many layers will i need tonight? >> i'm thinking, maybe four, claude even. >> your thoughts on that? >> tank top probably not a choice for your evening plans if you are going to be out and about. but, you know, alex used a different story. giving a look outside our doors where we have mostly clear skies and temperatures below freezing in many areas. temperatures are beginning to rebound, but if you are 29 degrees in santa rosa that

doesn't make you feel much better. mid 40s san francisco. low 40s in oakland. freezing in livermore and 40 degrees in san jose. upper 20s to upper 30s, a few low 40s at best. even chillier than yesterday at last in many spots. high pressure still parts over the pacific, can't lose that but it has backed off enough to allow a system dropping into vancouver. the breezy conditions expected for today and a little bit of rain you can see and snow over washington, oregon, northern california, the sierra could pick up a lit bill this -- little bit this weekend. we are remaining dry for today and tomorrow, we do get an opportunity for rain monday. right now the cool northwest flow, we will get clouds out of this. a mix of sun and clouds today. and again going to be cool. take a look at the numbers in just a moment. take a look at futurecast model taking you out on a mop day. here is your saturday, i should say. mix of sun and clouds for the afternoon. you can see the tahoe area,

sierra picking up rain and snow. now into sunday, partly cloudy. we've got the wet weather still to the north of us. as we get into early monday morning it could hit us in time for the upon day morning drive. we've got a mix of scattered showers and cloudy conditions, cool conditions out there. and we are going to remain with the cold weather. snow levels will be low. here a look at monday afternoon. you can tell it wasn't a huge system. .25-inch of rain or maybe less than that. the sierra will continue to pick up snow. if you are going out for the weekend this is what it looks like for today. north star reporting 66 inches, you can see the lifts are up and running. picked up a foot even 2 feet of snow and will continue to get a little bit more snow sunday into monday and then we have a bigger storm coming our way in the extended forecast. let's take care of the numbers for today, 56 in vallejo. 55 in san francisco.

so temperatures will range from the low to mid upper 50s. upper east in san jose. 56 loss cados. you don't have a 60-degree on the graph. showers arriving on monday. it doesn't look like a big deal, enough to get us wet. could slick up the roads for the morning drive. increasing clouds on wednesday. by wednesday night into thursday perhaps a stronger storm, this one looking like we could see an inch to 2 inches of rain maybe wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday time frame. that is a juicy storm, that is better news. >> we'll wait for that one. >> thanks, rosemary. honoring the victims of the florida school shooting. >> we'll tell you about the yes, sir your by major league baseball during the first games of spring training. fire fighting is a very dangerous profession.

we have one to two fires a day and when you respond together and you put your lives on the line, you do have to surround yourself with experts. and for us the expert in gas and electric is pg&e. we run about 2,500/2,800 fire calls a year and on almost every one of those calls pg&e is responding to that call as well. and so when we show up to a fire and pg&e shows up with us it makes a tremendous team during a moment of crisis. i rely on them, the firefighters in this department rely on them, and so we have to practice safety everyday. utilizing pg&e's talent and expertise in that area trains our firefighters on the gas or electric aspect of a fire and when we have an emergency situation

we are going to be much more skilled and prepared to mitigate that emergency for all concerned. the things we do every single day that puts ourselves in harm's way, and to have a partner that is so skilled at what they do is indispensable, and i couldn't ask for a better partner. well president trump is doubling down on his call to

arm teachers with guns. he spoke yesterday at the conservative political action conference. >> it's concealed. so this crazy man who walked in wouldn't even know who it is that has it, that is good. that's not bad, that's good. and a teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened. >> the california teachers association release add statement strongly opposing the idea. it says in part, "bringing more guns into school is a misguided and dangerously flawed idea. instead we should be arming our schools with more counselors, more books, art and music programs and more school nurses." tomorrow in mark land florida, marjory stoneman douglas high school will be open for a voluntary orientation. teachers returned to the school yesterday for the first time since the shooting. they had mixed emotions going

back to the scene where 17 students and fellow faculty members were killed. the school district brought in counselors and emotional support dogs to help teacher with the grieving process. but some say they may never fully recover from this tragedy. >> would you go back? would you be able to go back in there? would you? i am going to be happy to see my kids. embrace them and help them through all of this. they need us as much as we need them. classes are scheduled to resume on wednesday in a modified schedule. but the freshmen building where the attack happened will remain off limits. and likely is going to be torn down. the massacre has also traumatized a number of local law enforcement officers, a sergeant with the coral springs police department was one of the first responders on the scene that day. his son is a student at the school and his wife is an assistant athletic director.

>> by the grace of good when they walked down the hallway they found each other. and they were able to shelter in place. >> the surgent's family huddled with two other teachers and 62 students. the sergeant was able to reach his wife on phone but not able to see each other until late that night due to the chaotic scene unfolding. new information about the accused shooter and how authorities were warned that he could be a danger. in early january, a woman close to suspect nikolas dues reported that he was heavily arm -- nikolas cruz reported that he was heavily armed. >> did he pull a gun or anything on you? >> i kind of got mad and i started punching walls and stuff. and i a kid threw me on the ground. >> cruz told the 911 dispatcher

his mother died a couple weeks before that and he was dealing with several ordeals. major league baseball is honor the school shooting victims. the first day of spring training games, the hats have the letters s and d on the front representing stoneman douglas high school. the caps are being autographed and auctioned off with proceeds going to the victims' fund. >> that is a wonderful idea. what a tribute there. we want to let you know that we are heading off the air early here on ktvu so you can watch college basketball here on channel 2. >> mornings on 2 continues on ktvu plus, so join us there as we continue to follow today's top stories and we hope you have a great saturday. there is a shot of union square. the chinese new year parade will be happening there tonight. >> have a great day. y.
