valley. can you see that? there now watch this loop. it's our live doppler writer and bam right there back side of it, but we still have some heavy precipitation in some of the neighborhoods in east bay and will continue to see periods of showers. mostly cloudy skies will get out towards the estuary. it's swiveling a bit because the winds have been blowing up to 15 mph will continue to blow 10 to 20 throughout the day. today 47 to 55 degrees, and here's what you need to know. periods of showers and with the instability with the passage of the system, we cannot rule out the potential and it is a strong chance of a thunderstorm blossoming at any point of the day. these storms could contain some small hail. and that is the scenario tonight will track this system together and talk about tomorrow's rainfall as well. that's still coming up later on in this newscast, roberta, let's keep an eye on your morning commute as well. we're watching the bay bridge toll plaza. we don't have to say anything. you can see this live picture. it is packed at the bay bridge troll plaza right now. the better way to get

across to the peninsula is the same mateo bridge. that's the case again this morning. there's lanes on the right hand side or taking you from hayward over to foster city and san mateo coming back toward the east bay. of course, smooth sailing. this is what you'd expect, and also looking at interstate 80 in oakland. well it's starting to jam up in there. what you kind of expect again. the roads are wet all over the bay area bay eight eighties moving but now it's still a problem out there. we'll keep an eye on all of your morning commute here. one morning's onto happening now. president biden to speaking addressing the russian invasion of ukraine. let's listen in. i've spoken to several of them. it's a we owe them. but uncovering these evidences of their atrocities and war crimes against ukrainian people is so clear to the whole world now. now they've launched and refocus their campaign to seize new territory in eastern ukraine. and we're in a critical window now of time where that they're

going to set the stage for the next phase of this war. and the united states and our allies and partners are moving as fast as possible to continue to provide ukraine the forces that they need the weapons they need. excuse me the equipment they need their forces need to defend their nation. last week i signed late $100 million package of security assistance to ukraine that included new capabilities like artillery systems and armored personnel carriers. equipment that is biden speaking on what we expect to be an announcement on additional aid for ukraine is coming as russia's president has claimed victory in the battle for mariupol just today. clearly it's developing situation. we will stay on top of the president's address and bring you more in just 30 minutes. alright, guys, your time is 703 the rain, making it hard to drive to work or go to school this morning was a white knuckle ride for many of us and at this point we're in the heart of the morning commute. let's swing out to ktvu. jesse. gary your live at the peninsula to give us a good look at what's happening there in millbrae. got a good morning to you, and i'm glad you

made it in safely. we have moved from burlingame to neighboring millbrae, where it has stopped raining as you can see, so conditions are dry right now. but let's take a look at our first video. this was earlier in burlingame and her got to talk about how it was just coming down at her house. not just in your house, garcia, but here in the peninsula pouring rain earlier this morning around five or so o'clock in the morning ranges coming down in sheets leading to pooling on the 101 freeway, which is the advantage point you see in this video, this is southbound 101 broadway in burlingame. traffic was moving at a pretty good clip. but that can present hazards because of how much rain let's take a look at our second video . this is over on the east bay oakland highway 24. a solo vehicle crashed split out in the rain because of the conditions of the roadway. so we tell you all the time to try to be careful and slow down. because of that very fact. it could be a pulling on the roadway. you may

not see it, you hit it. and the next thing you know you're in an accident, and that's the advice that other motorists are giving this morning as well. yes slow down because you never know what's going to happen. you know you never. you couldn't see this three. they hold the alcohol and everything's going to see if it's better to slow down. amen to that. and what you're looking at. now. we've heard roberta gonzalez talking all morning about how the system is moving out or moving through the peninsula and this time lapse video that was taken by our photographer george gusteau, showing how quickly these clouds are moving. this is the hills above. burlingame and you see the clouds just moving right through very quickly. so that's why it is not raining right now. but if you're in the east bay, look at it's coming your way. we are live in neighboring millbrae. jesse gary ktvu, fox two news. we'll head back to you across the bay in oakland, jesse. thank you. the justice department will ask a higher court to reinstate the mask

requirement on public transit after the cdc said wearing a mask is still necessary to protect the public from the spread of covid. the wind. that mandate was lifted earlier this week. a lot of people immediately took off their mask . but others say they'll keep wearing a mask and they hope everybody on both sides of the issue will be tolerant of each other's opinion. i know it's not required. um and i respect anybody else who doesn't want to wear one, but it still gives me some comfort of safety. i'm still not totally comfortable with where we're at with. the pandemic. now for other people to question is not about their personal health, but it's about their personal liberties against what's best for everybody. i don't feel like that they should be able to mandate me to do to do that. it is it is my part. it should be a choice. at this point, it's not clear if the mask mandate will be put back in place until a final decision is

reached, comes as a new poll so says that most americans supported mask mandate for travelers on airplanes or shared transit. the ap full poll found 56% of americans support mask mandates 24% were opposed 20% they had no preference. there's a white partisan divide on this issue. 80% of democrats say they support the proposal. 33% of republicans supported in the next half hour of morning zone two will examine some of the policy changes being considered by local transit agencies and why there's still some confusion between the different levels of masking rules. time is seven oh, seven for the first time in almost a year. hospitals in california report less than 1000 covid patients a week of the state's latest report shows there are 964 people in the hospital because of covid infection, the lowest number since last june. and it comes at a time when covid numbers have been going up, but the latest variant seems to be less severe than the earlier versions of covid. health officials warned the hospitalization rate could

go back up. has more cases are reported to cdc has new guidance about whether you should get a covid booster shot vaccine advisory group says people who are fully vaccinated and get a booster shot and contracted covid in the last three months can wait until the fall before getting a second booster shot. health experts still say the immuno compromised and people who live with them should consider gathering that second booster shot as soon as you can . right now, anyone aged 50 and older is eligible for the second booster shot as well as people who were 12 and older and who happened to be immuno compromise this morning. moderna says it will ask for emergency use authorization for its covid vaccine. for children from six months to five years old by the end of this month, moderna says , in pediatric trials, two doses were found to be about 38% effective in 2 to 5 year olds 44% effective in children ages

six months to two years. we'll swing back to the weather. now, as it is our big story. this morning, there is more snow coming down in the sierra, and that's causing problems for drivers there. westbound i 80 is shut down at the nevada state line because of a big rig that spun out in the snow and blocked lanes. this won't impact people driving up from the bay area, but it does give you a good indicator of the conditions you'll be facing there on highway 80 chains are required from nyack to boca. that's passed truckee on your way to nevada on highway 50 changes required from twin bridges to myers. other highways have changed restrictions as well. so the headline if you're heading up for some early weekend skiing bring your chains leave some extra time. make sure you've got plenty of gas in your tank. palisades tahoe, by the way, bracing for some two ft of new snow from today's storm. this comes on top of the more than three ft that blanketed the upper mountain last week. the resort has extended its closing day by two weeks now to may. 15th officials say that they could extend the season even longer if there's enough snow.

loss gatto's now taking new action to hold adults liable when there's underage drinking at their homes. now this follows the recent arrest of a mother in law's gatto's. accused of hosting alcohol fueled sex parties for teenagers in her home. under the ordinance, adults can be fine for hosting gatherings where miners drink or take drugs, even if the adult is not home at the time. thinking is potentially there are parents who basically don't want to know . so they go out for the evening and let something happen at their home. so i think just the knowledge that whether you're home or not, you're responsible for what's happening in your home and i think through our social fines will start at $1500 for a first offense. it will go up to $3000 tiburon will pay $150,000 to a black couple to settle their racial profiling lawsuit. the couple loans, the downtown clothing boutique yemma. they were working on inventory at their shop at one in the morning. back in august

an update. i can imagine things have changed dramatically in the time we've been on the peninsula just this morning. garcia good morning against you. and you are right. changed dramatically. we'll show you how they've changed just over my left shoulder or camera right as a photographer george gusteau's pans and zooms in that is the sunrise. over the peninsula here as conditions have improved greatly since we first joined you at five o'clock in the morning. let's show you what that looks like heavy downpour, rain coming down in sheets. it was pulling on the freeway. this is one oh one south pbond at broadway avenue in burlingame. that amount of water so quickly , obviously impacted roadway driving and led to some accidents around the bay area. we will go next across the bay over to the east bay in oakland. this is a vehicle accident on highway 24 in oakland because of the wet weather. driver hit an area where the they had been pulling on the roadway skidded

and crashed. so this is a common theme. we also had an accident here on the peninsula. of the 2 83 way at truesdale. same kind of scenario where the wet weather caused an accident. your fellow drivers out there, warning and advising you to slow down. definitely got to be careful just from the potholes in the road that i'm always missing. just as much as i consider myself a safe driver got to look after all the other people out there that don't care that it's raining. and this is what this is why we have sunshine right now. or at least the beginnings of sunshine. you can see the system moving out of the peninsula. this is a time lapse video from our photographer george, who's those showing the clouds moving above berlin game up in the hills by truesdale. ah quickly this morning, so this system is moving out. but as roberta said , it's not over. more is on the

way. so keep that in mind and if you are out driving slow down, even though it stopped raining. there's still areas where water has pulled on the roadway. we're live in. millbrae jesse gary ktvu, fox two news. we'll head back to you across the bay, jesse. thank you. time is 7 35. many bay area transit systems are dropping their face mask mandates, but not all of them have made a decision on this yet. ktvu is amanda container is that bart in the east bay? you have more details. good morning, amanda. yes i do. good morning, dave. now one step federal mask mandate was struck down that happened on monday. airports and airlines. they all started to say okay, we're not requiring masks either. so then local transportation services. they kinda had to scramble to decide what they were going to do here in the bay area. some of them have already made decisions that includes sf mta transit. caltrain bart and santa clara valley transportation authority. they are all now recommending masks but not requiring them. we

wanted to make sure that the agency's overall the same page and so that passengers wouldn't be confused or disappointed or whatever. so we were trying to communicate with each other. i think for the passengers, it's going to be real good. create less conflict . a lot of them don't have a mass and sometimes get upset about it. um for me myself. i'm probably gonna wear my mask just for my own safety on a state level. california announced yesterday that its mask mandate is also terminated. and that had bart leaders hesitating to make a decision on removing mass requirements. face masks are optional on bart trains for now. in a tweet yesterday, the agency said. quote there are no longer any federal, state or local directives, enabling a mask mandate on bark. but they say, however, our board will consider a proposal to require masks on april 28th media now that is

next thursday, board president rebecca saltzman tweeted that she will introduce the mandate because quote covid cases are rising, and we must keep riders safe, even though the national mask mandate has been struck down, the cdc says an order requiring masking during public transportation is still necessary for public health right now, and they wanted that meant to even be extended to may 3rd. but that did not happen. also the justice department is planning to appeal the decision to overturn the federal mask mandates. although right now we are seeing some people go into bart without masks on that could change soon after that meeting, and we will see if it changes federally, too, but i will say a lot of people going into bart right now have still been wearing their masks. live in oakland. amanda kintanar ktvu fox two news. thank you. amanda 7 37. now, state labor officials could decide today if they'll extend through the end of the

rafael bridge right now. yeah it's slow, but it's not jam packed and the roads were a lot drier than they were earlier. we'll keep an eye on all of your commutes throughout mornings onto little rays of sun clouds. rainbow weather, roberta, as you said a minute ago. yes definitely rainbow weather today and definitely whether in which you still need that umbrella all day. okay? and to the evening hours morning, everybody, let's show you another commute this time around. let's take you to the greater lake tahoe area. we were checking in on our cow trans cameras and this is the view in olympic valley. a few cars on the roadways there, but everything i've checked throughout the morning. the roads have been pretty empty because we do have that winter storm warning. in effect, check that snow out. that looks like a picture you would see that resembles the month of january again, an avalanche warning in effect for the gritty lake tahoe area just issued by the national weather service, in addition to the winter storm, warning, in effect until 11 am tomorrow morning. 30 inches of snow above

7000 ft. over the mountains to the estuary, where we have a small craft advisory in place. mostly cloudy skies. we do have temperatures currently in the forties in santa rosa, otherwise in the fifties from san francisco through conquered san carlos around the peninsula. and in san jose at 54 windsor under 10 mph, but will increase 10 to 20 out of the southwest today. lingering leftover showers. this is kind of like backwash from that front that just passed through. we have rain showers from the altamonte pass through livermore, including springtown in grizzly peak as well. we also have a little bit of light precipitation around pleasant in as well as in antioch between pittsburgh and in oakley. downstream we go now we have heavy rainfall right outside of los altos heels, and it looks like as we zoom on in, you can see los altos and mountain view currently with the rain frontal boundary sliced through the bay area between three and about 5

30 this morning, but with the passage of the front a lot of instability when you see this offshore looks like cotton balls that means cooler air mass and a lot of unstable air mass as well . and that's why we put that threat of a thunderstorm blossoming at any point of the day today containing small hail in the forecast, so here we go looking ahead towards tonight you see a line of showers. heavy showers. taking a bull's eye towards the south bay and then by friday at lunch hour, we begin to clear out so your beach forecast does call for today through saturday, building waves up to 18 ft. this means that we do have these ways at 22nd intervals. and rip currents are developing temperatures today, fifties and sixties across the board, 62 degrees to the northern santa rosa into the south and morgan hill. otherwise these temperatures are below average, but the main headline again today occasional rain showers, a threat of a thunderstorm through the day into the evening hours. rain

8 4g what's going on with one of the

team's stars deebo samuel debose told the 49ers he wants to be traded. he did that more than a week ago. the wide receiver has cut off contract talks with the 49ers and reportedly fears he may hurt himself if he goes out on the field and plays, however , one football insider says other teams think 49ers will only trade deebo samuel if they quote receive a king's ransom. well, the a set another record low for the number of fans in the stadium for the second game in a row. yesterday the coliseum only 2703 fans were there at the game, the lowest number since september of 1980 part of the reason for those low numbers yesterday. the game was moved to around seven pm from yeah, because of the rain expected last night at the fans also say they're frustrated by the a's decision to increased season ticket prices while they trade away some of the fan favorite

players by the way, the aids lost to the orioles one another. all right around six. up next. much needed rain coming down all across the bay area this morning. we're going to take a look at conditions and how long all this wet weather will last plus. to be clear. we are recommending everyone wear masks on planes. that is what the cdc is recommending. and the u. s justice department plans to appeal the ruling by a federal judge that avoided the mask mandate on public transportation . the mixed reactions on the ruling from travelers here in the pay area from ktvu fox two news this morning's onto good morning, everyone welcome the mornings onto on a very wet little thursday. this has been a dynamic morning commute was brutal. let's talk about what's happening out your window. right now. we see some grace guys behind us along the oakland edgware. but it was downpours a couple of minutes ago here, roberta? yes, we had the front. the frontal system passed

through the bay area between about three and 5 30 this morning. that's when we saw the heaviest rainfall now in its wake. there's a lot of unsettled air mass, and that's when we'll see a shower in any point of the day and also the potential and that's a strong chance of a thunderstorm blossoming throughout the bay area as we zoom in a little bit closer here we have some lingering showers in the east bay, also in the south bay around los altos hills. this is the view looking out towards the estuary. mostly cloudy skies temperature wise right around 53 degrees in san francisco, same and oakland conquered at 54. we're in the fifties everywhere later today, you can count on the continuation of a scattered shower. the threat of a thunderstorm containing small hail even see some rainbows from time to time, and this activity will continue all the way into the evening hours as far as the precipitation is concerned. today's high temperatures fifties and sixties southwest winds 10 to 20. we're going to talk more about the rainfall when it will taper off and the

weekend that's all coming up later in this broadcast. alright, roberta, look forward to that. i check the traffic quickly and as you might imagine, with all the rain and more to come that it is a little gummed up out on the highways. you're looking at the toll plaza there on the bay bridge and right now pack your patience. it will take a while for a little bit better if you're heading from hayward over to foster city and san mateo san mateo bridge is moving in both directions. of course, the busier lanes are those taking you across to the peninsula about highway 8 80 in oakland, and that's moving along. nice north, dont on the right side going past the coliseum. southbound on the left moving actually pretty well. that's unusual at this hour. well the morning commute may take a bit longer for some drivers today, as we just showed you everyone's being reminded to leave a little bit of early leave plenty of space in front of in front of your car because roads are still slick, even though it may not be actively raining where you are. i think that's the case where ktvu jesse gary has been reporting from this morning. you're on the peninsula. you have your

sunglasses on. i assume you might need them here. jesse. he always does. ghazi good morning to you, you know, you know these aren't sunglasses. these are actually regular glasses goes to your yeah, these are prescription. but this goes to your point, ghazi a because not only is it raining, but the sun is coming out, so the conditions are changing from what we saw earlier this morning. let's take a look at our video. and this is the drive in san mateo coton de on 101, and you can see how hard it is raining as you move. down the peninsula on the one oh one heavy rain this morning starting around five o'clock in the morning, and it lasted maybe for about a half hour to an hour. but that led to a lot of cooling of water on the roadways not just here on the peninsula but also across the bay in the east bay in oakland, this is highway 24. now you're looking at, and this resulted in an accident. a single car solo car accident on highway 24, where the driver hit a pot. some water, some wet roadway, lost control and crashed. and this is something that was not just, you know, in

one spot, but multiple spots around the bay had the same problem here on the peninsula on the 2 80 freeway at truesdale avenue. other motorists advising people to slow down in these kind of conditions. slow down because you never know what's going to happen. you know you never. you couldn't see this three. they hold the alcohol and everything going to slow down. and then once the rain stopped partial clearing clearing of some of the debris that's been left behind by all the water that has fallen onto the roadway that's pushed debris, and so you see the street sweeper that's cleaning the gutters. trying to get all that cleared so that when the next bout of rain comes , the rain can drain more easily into the storm drains, and roberta has been telling us our own her own rainbow here at channel two. more rain is expected later today. so be aware of that. we're live in

millbrae this morning. jesse gary ktvu fox two news. we'll head back across the bay to you in oakland. thank you, jesse. it's now 804. the justice department will ask a higher court to reinstate the mask requirement on public transit, and that all comes after the cdc said, where damascus still necessary to protect the public. from the spread of covid. when the mandate was lifted earlier this week, many people immediately took off their masks, but others say they'll keep wearing face coverings and hope people on both sides of the issue will be tolerant of each other's opinions. i know it's not required. um and i respect anybody else who doesn't want to wear one, but it still gives me some comfort of safety. still not totally comfortable with where we're at with. the pandemic. and for other people. the question is not about their personal health. but wayne personal liberties against what's best for everyone. i don't feel like that they should be able to mandate me to do to do that. it is it is my part. it

should be a choice. it's not clear yet. if the mask mandate will be put back in place until the final decision is reached, as a new poll says that most americans support a mask mandate for travelers on airplanes or shared transit. and associated press poll finds 56% of americans support mask mandates , 24% said they were opposed. 20% had no preference. there was a wide partisan gap on the issue. 80% of democrats supported the proposal. 33% of republicans in the next half hour here will examine some of the policy changes being considered by local transit agencies and why they're still some confusion between different levels of mask rules for the first time in almost a year, california hospitals are reporting less than 1000 covid patients a week. the states latest report shows there are 964 people hospitalized currently because of covid infections. that's the lowest number since last june. and it all comes at a time when covid numbers have been rising, but the latest variant seems to be

less severe than earlier versions, health officials warned the hospitalization rate could go back up, though as more cases are reported. cdc has new guidance on covid booster shots, it's vaccine advisory group says. those who are fully vaccinated and boost it and contracted covid in the last three months can wait until the fall before having to get that second booster. health experts still say the immuno compromised and those who live with them should consider getting that second booster as soon as you can. right now, anyone 50 and older is eligible for that second booster shot along with those who are 12 and older and a menu a menu of compromised this morning. moderna says it will ask for emergency use authorization for its covid vaccine for children from six months to five years of age by the end of this month. moderna says. in pediatric trials, two doses were found to be about 38% effective in 2 to 5 year old 44%

effective in children ages six months to two years. man shot by police in san francisco last may, is now suing the city attorney's for xavier pittman say the shooting was an excessive use of force and that their client was unharmed, compliant and in the process of being handcuffed when the shooting occurred. happened as uniformed and plainclothes officers were trying to arrest pittman for auto burglary. police chief bill scott apologized to both pittman and the general public after the shooting, saying the shooting quite simply should not have happened. let's swing back out to the weather as it is. one of our big stories this morning were expected to get more rain in the bay area. more snow is coming to the sierra, causing problems for drivers there. westbound 80 shut down at the nevada state line because of a big rig that spun out in the snow and blocked lanes. now this doesn't impact you if you're driving from the bay area up to the mountain, but it is a good illustration of what sort of danger is waiting for you on the road. let's take a live camera here where we see highway 80 at

castle peak and soda springs. a lot of snow on the ground more continues to fall. this is the story of your day. so if you're planning to head up to the mountains, road conditions being described as very poor, those words by the national weather service but of course you can see it for yourself in this live picture. on highway 80 we know chains are required from nyack to bogota, past truckee on your way to nevada on highway 50 chains are required from twin bridges to myers. other highways have changed restrictions as well. this will boil it all down to this one. headline if you're heading up for some early weekend skiing or boarding, bring your chains leave extra time. make sure you've got plenty of gas in the tank snacks and blankets. you know the drill. palisades tahoe, by the way, bracing for about two ft of new stove from today's storm. this comes on top of the more than three ft that blanketed the upper mountain just last week. the resort has extended its closing day now by two weeks and won't close until may. 15th officials say they could extend the season even longer. if there's enough snow. that's great news coming up next, the

owners of tiburon business have settled a racial profiling claim against the police. the actions the couple are demanded from that department as part of that settlement. also, two big names in politics are here in the bay area. the issues vice president kamala harris and former president barack obama are addressing at two separate events today

vics visiting the mission bay campus of ucsf. the visits part of our continued effort to address the maternal health crisis in the united states, while ucsf shall meet with expecting families, join a group prenatal session and speak with members of the maternal healthcare workforce, will also deliver remarks on the maternal health crisis. former president barack obama's also in the bay area. today he'll be instead for university to deliver a speech on the changes in the way we create and consume information and the threat this poses to democracy. he is expected to share how social media has played a key role in the divide. the former president gave a similar presentation about this information at the university of chicago earlier this month. don't know was 8 13 moscato says, taking new action to hold adults liable when there's underage drinking at

their homes as follows that recent arrests of a mother in law's cotto's accused of hosting alcohol fueled sex parties for teenagers at her house. under the ordinance, adults can be fine for hosting gatherings with minors, drink or take drugs, even if the adult is not home. at the time. thinking is potentially there are parents who basically don't want to know . so they go out for the evening and let something happen at their home. so i think just the knowledge that whether you're home or not, you're responsible for what's happening in your home through our social fine starts at $1500 for first offense, and then it will go up to $3000 on the second. town of tiburon will pay 100 and $50,000 to a black couple to settle their racial profiling lawsuit. that couple owns that downtown clothing boutique called yama. they were working on inventory at the shop about one in the morning back in august of 2020, police officers confronted them,

and an argument ensued regarding whether the couple needed to show that they had a right to be at their store video of the confrontation with viral and police surgeon later resigned from the force. that settlement also calls for reforms, including a new citizens police advisory panel. january february march, where some of the driest months we've seen on record here in california. april however, is a completely different story. mike castle went to the sierra to bring us these conditions. it is april 21st. and this is your picture win snow freezing temperatures up here in this year. picture pretty much speaks for itself. we are getting hit with snow and one of the big stories this morning is the winter driving conditions. let me go this way we're above interstate 80. it's soda springs, the 6700 ft elevation elevation level. that is looking up towards the summit. you can see as the wind is pushing that snow across the freeway at times . visibility being impacted. you can see how slow it is getting up over donner summit right now. that traffic stopped just talked

with the highway patrol officer who was saying it's a big rigs just struggling to get up over the summit. we saw a big rig toe. also heading up that way. i saw a report earlier today of a truck just not having the traction had to be pushed a little bit of a nudge to get some traction going up the incline here. and much earlier this morning, we also had issues with spinouts. so since yesterday, caltrans has been getting that word out. be prepared for winter driving conditions throughout today into tomorrow, if you are going to be heading up here into this year whether it's on interstate 80 or on highway 50, because you could encounter slow traffic or as you can see, snowy, slick roadways with chain controls. make sure you have either four wheel drive. or chains and make sure your tires are in good tread condition to be able to get some sort of traction in the snow. but again, you can see that traffic has not moved since we started talking so the roads clearly impacted and i also want to point out you know, we're

just a couple hours into this storm, and if we can come to where i'm standing right now, i want to show you how much snow we've had. this is not a snowbird. we're standing on a sidewalk. above interstate 80. and look at this. i'm going to dig down here just to show you how much snow we've already gotten. that's the bottom so that's no line goes all the way to my elbow. what would you say? that is? that's a good foot plus already on the ground here and again, those winds also blow in here. we'll try and get over here and get a little bit of a cover. we're using my our live truck has some cover with this wind because the wind is blowing and that is causing visibility issues if you're driving bottom line driving in the sierra, over the next 24 hours gonna be winter driving, even though it's april 21st and on that note, just for those who have lived here and they get the sierra not unusual to get snow around easter. but boy this dry winter i was doubting we'd see this type of weather to end the month

of april in the sierra. i'd like to sell all right, mike. it does look a little nasty up there. and of course, if you're heading up that way, may want to take a break before you go up and drive up on a friday. we're looking at some of our traffic here around the bay area. that's the richmond san rafael bridge. you can see people are slow in the role a little bit because of the rain, but it looks like traffic is moving along. okay there. let's see what's happening over the bay bridge. i mean, this picture other than the skies above really hasn't changed much for the past couple of hours. still very slow going. if you're heading from oakland to san francisco, unless you're in the carpool lanes. at this moment, the roads appear to be drying off with some good sign up above those clouds. no active rain but still the weather is the big story that is affecting our commute this morning. all right , let's check in with roberta. find out how much longer we will weather this rain. and when the sun shines coming, i think on the weekend, right? i'm just giggling still fried because after that snowy report said looks a little nasty and brutal

. kidding well, i think they're one in the same write it exactly blizzard like conditions there, right and we do have that winter storm warning in effect for the high seeker and an avalanche warning for the greater lake tahoe area until tomorrow morning. as far as we are concerned, mostly cloudy skies, few breaks in the sun. and when we do see those peaks of sunshine, coupled up with light drizzle or rain, we're seeing some rainbow weather temperatures right now across the board 50 in nevada. oh, 2 54 degrees in throughout the tri valley. it is now 55. that s f phone across the bay in hayward. it is about time we have the morning rain showers. scattered periods of rain, breezy winds out of the southwest end of 20 mph. we do have a thunderstorm possible at any point of the day in the rain showers will taper off by midday on friday. now these are lingering showers. you can refer to it as backwash. the front has already passed through

the bay area, and that's what mike is experiencing right now in the greater lake tahoe area. that frontal boundary heading that way, but we still have some lingering showers in throughout livermore, just outside of dublin is certainly at the ultimate past, which always makes driving very treacherous. and as we take another hop on over this time around, it just left. we had a rain sell over the sunny ville area, and that's what i named hit and miss popping showers all day long, pretty heavy rain right now and the morgan hill area, but not in gilroy. so this is the slice right here. the frontal boundary that sliced through the bay area between three and 5 30 this morning. now it's lifting up towards the greater lake tahoe area. this system is coming in two parts. the next part here will continue to roll into the bay area during the afternoon, hours and evening hours. here you have lunchtime. some hit and miss scattered showers around the north bay, also the santa clara valley lifting into the eastern portion of our district. a bit of a break for the evening commute and watch that right there, lining the sea shore all

the way into the santa cruz mountains. we have some more moderate to heavy downpours and again, i think we have a really strong potential thunderstorms containing small hail. today here you have it or beach report . we have a hazard alert until saturday for building northwest swells up to 18. ft at 22nd intervals. meanwhile to the mountains, we go where that winter storm warning is in effect until 11 am that is tomorrow. 30 inches of snow but gusty winds 80 mph, perhaps even 100 above 7000 ft. back to the bay area fifties and sixties are daytime highs anywhere from 56 in pacifica, the 64. that's our outside number, antioco and also to the south and gilroy. a lot of people asking, will it be a washout for the a's game today? no no, no. it's an afternoon game. a spotty shower could have a rain delay, but never rain out . game time temperature at 61 degrees, your extended forecast.

endless, hard work that consistent steps every day. just you know, might not be the best . they might not be the worst day. but you just gotta be consistent, be the same every single day, and it's very, very similar to being a quarterback in the nfl, you know, not every day is going to be easy. but you gotta go out there. put your hard head on and go to work. and so my dad instilled that me and my three brothers and holds true till today. absolutely and dad tony, how do you think your career is electrician inspired your son to be such a hard worker out on the football field. tony, are you with us? alone had a little difficulty there. why i just ask you how did you inspire your son being electrician's. ah hopefully i gave him a work ethic by going to work for 40, plus years providing for the family, but i think it's something that the kids just grasp. uh seeing you

do the job that you do and providing. and it's nothing that i really taught him. personally i think it's just something you show by example. well it's certainly worked out. well jimmy, would you encourage students now to go into the trade route? and did you ever think about following debts, footsteps? yeah definitely. i think i know what we're doing is really just trying to open up the eyes down one that there is different paths. you don't have to go to college. it's not for everybody. and i was actually just saying i was i went to college to play football had all intensive, you know, playing football in the nfl, but if i wasn't a football player. i don't know if i work for the college. maybe you know what went to get the skills right away. so you don't fall and all that debt that you do in college and you can start making some money right away. i mean, there's different options and i, you know, not everyone's book guy, and they want to get their hands dirty and get into their work and i think this is a good

opportunity for those types of people that flipped a couple of houses finding a good electrician or a plumber takes an act of congress. so good for you quick football question. i know a lot of fans here in the bay area, jimmy are wondering how that surgically repaired soldiers shoulder is doing. how is it going? feeling good man. yes surgery surgery. really? well we're about six weeks out now. so still in the beginning process, sort of this whole thing. we won't be thrown for a little while. but now it's feeling really good. i'm happy with where it's at a productive off season so far, and i know it's been a kind of a crazy three months for you since that the nfc championship game, can you can you put that into words at all up and down and all around? yeah just i mean, the whole year really was just an emotional roller coaster and it was up down late playoff run. almost a super bowl right there, but whenever you're season doesn't end deny victory. it's

never really a true success. so lot of good things that a lot of things we learned some unbelievable plays by some unbelievable players. i mean, what debo george b. a. i mean, all those guys you want stepping up late this season. was it was a #### of a year and one that will always remember. i don't know if you attack to debo lately, but he's making a few headlines to any any thoughts on him wanting out of the 49ers icu do lately. okay i e. i you know , that's it's a weird situation . um you know you don't you don't like to get involved with other guys contracts too much, but with d bal. i mean, it's gonna work itself out. the guy has earned everything they deserves my age going to get and i what he does on the field. he does off the field just so it's hard to describe. it's a tone center that really trickles down to the entire team, offense and defense and it's hard to find a guy like that, so it will. it will be interesting how it all plays out, but i know it will

work out for him. well all the best to you, jimmy, wherever that may be, hopefully here in the bay area and dad, tony, thanks for joining us here. i know you've inspired your son. he's got a great work ethic and we wish you all the best to tony and jimmy garoppolo having us thanks, guys. thanks for having me. wet roads across the bay area, and snow is falling in the mountains were watching this raid and the avalanche warning that's in effect for parts of the sierra. hard plus, president biden just announced more money for ukraine today, the united states is announcing that we've intend to provide an additional $500 million and direct economic assistance to the ukrainian government. more details on the plans to help straight ahead. also masks are no longer required on all major bay area transit systems. but some transit leaders are pushing for a new mask mandate.
