school board president. the question about more officers on campus and a community getting active for answers. my upbringing taught me the importance of community, commitment, and working together for the greater good. >> making the case. meet the new top cop in oakland and hear his belief in restoring safety in the east bay through community. and opening day is finally here. will new additions by the giants during the off-season knock it out of the park? the giants and the a's, just hours away from the start of their seasons. i love seeing the seats in the stands and hopefully they fill up because that's how we have community. good morning, everybody i'm reed cowan. >> yes we do. there's nothing like hanging out afternoon at the ballpark your friends and family and hopefully you get that chance to do that the next couple of weeks because it's mlb season. i'm gianna franco and thank you for joining us this morning. yes it's thursday. friday eve. as i like to say. i know. we are ready for the weekend. let's get a live look outside as we take a look from what we like to call the jewel box and the reason why we're going to start off

with this, we cannot take credit for this. we have the amazing director his name is mike and he says let's do this because you are going to see diamonds leading us into the fact there are diamonds happening today on the ballpark field. >> get it? right. pretty good right. >> it all comes together and that was awesome. and it's -- baseball season and everybody's in first place. you know, some teams have higher predictions than others but everybody's tied for first today. >> that's a nice way to start a day. >> it is. >> let's see how the standings are at the end of the weekend but we'll enjoy it today. everybody got rainfall last night and good morning to you. this is first alert doppler radar and whole lot drier than it was at 9:00 last night where it was raining in most locations but the front is now down over the central valley. we are left with scattered showers and it's not going to be a completely dry morning. you can see a few showers moving across the 680 corridor from concord down to the tri-valley and livermore and it's light stuff shot going to be that heavy. but some of you got a good amount of rainfall

last night. pacifica about one-third of an inch and officially in san francisco downtown a little bit less than a quarter inch of rainfall and berkeley a half inch and then of course the north bay you got the most. kentfield, nearly 1 inch of rainfall so those were your rainfall totals from last night. with the additional scattered showers today. let's talk about our high temperatures today. typically in the wake of a front, even in late march, or early april you are going to see temperatures that aren't going to be that warm. so 62 in redwood city and with some afternoon sunshine. 57 in half-moon bay and 59-degrees for a high in san francisco and a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday and concord 62. oakland 60. petaluma and santa rosa likely only in the upper 50s. so a cooler day today. you will get some afternoon sunshine and there are some scattered showers out there this morning. we've been talking all week about two rounds of rain and you made it through one round of rain. we have one more to go

and it gets here tomorrow. changes you will like is coming up in a few minutes. gianna. >> we like changes especially no rain. all right, a look at the roadways live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. so far, off to a pretty good start. it's very early. no cars or brake lights as of now in -- unless there's an accident. not the case today though. but a can you believe of spots to talk about an accident as you commute amorning northbound 101 not too far from oakland road. there's a traffic alert in effect three lanes are blocked and this is a pretty serious crash. and traffic is backing up to the 280 and 680 connector. give yourself some extra time through there. maybe consider using 87 or 280 as an alternate. also crash south 680 near washington boulevard. looks like that's causing you just a few delays heading into fremont. reed? all right, gianna, we have some developing news out of baltimore this morning in the wake of the deadly bridge collapse. the bodies of two men pulled from the water by dive teams. those teams this morning risking their own lives in cold waters of mangled metal looking

for four others who are still missing and presumed dead in the water. as their families wait there for word, wendy gillette reports on the work of investigators figuring out why that cargo ship you see right there lost power only to drift and destroy. >> reporter: new traffic video from the maryland department of transportation shows the massive cargo ship approaching the francis scott key bridge moments before it crashed into the span. the national transportation safety board also released video of what's left. sections of the bridge bent and crumpled around the front of the ship. >> our mission is to determine why something happened, how it happened, and to prevent it from reoccurring. again, to save lives. >> reporter: the ntsb says there were 21 crew and two pilots on board the ship when it rammed into the bridge. it was transporting 56 containers of hazardous materials and according to the ntsb, some of those containers were breached. authorities say they have seen a sheen on the water indicating

chemical leaks. officials have started identifying the six victims all construction workers. 40-year-old miguel luna had three children and was a originally from ell system have door. 34-year-old sandoval had two kids and was from honduras. >> we know that they were hard workers and we know they loved socker and we know they loved, you know, their families and the community. >> reporter: all wreckage from the crash must be cleared before the port of baltimore can reopen to ships. the navy is bringing in barges equipped with cranes to help. logistics experts say it's possible prices could rise if the global supply chain is disrupted. >> let's talk about that impact of shipping. that port of baltimore sees more vehicles and imports and exports than any other port in the united states. so a closed port means people this morning are without jobs. as to the shipments wendy talked about ships are now being redirected to other ports along the east coast. stay with us on air and online at

kpix.com and streaming on the free cbs news bay area app. it is time now for a look at this morning's other top stories. deadly police shooting sending shock waves through the quiet community of pacifica. officers shot and killed a mother after she allegedly shot her adult son. police say the woman was driving away from the apartment complex on francisco boulevard when they arrived yesterday morning. officers were forced to fire when she pointed a gun at them. >> we're so sorry. i'm -- but a loss of life is always a horrible thing. and we're sorry that whatever it was came to that. >> the son is in stable condition at a hospital. the district attorney's office is investigating. the vallejo police department is looking for a new deputy chief. joseph gomez is out just nine months after starting the job. in a short two line statement released last night, police thanked deputy chief gomez for his service and wished him the best of luck in all future endeavors. he has 37 years in

law enforcement and served as police chief in selma near fresno. we'll be following this for future developments. it's my honor to introduce you, our new top police officer, chief floyd mitchell. [ applause ] >> floyd mitchell is the new police chief in oakland. yesterday, he was officially introduced to the people. he'll be tasked with protecting. now the city has now had a half a dozen people filling that role in just four years. mitchell was a former chief in lubbock and temple, texas. and he got his first chance to explain how he will tackle the job here. >> my approach is high visibility and responsible, proactive policing that is procedurally just, data-driven, and grounded in evidence based strategies that addressed our most difficult issues. >> well, mitchell says his first order of business will be getting to know the people in the department and in the

community. shawn ? >> reporter: coming up, the -- [ inaudible ] and later, determining the personality of man's best friend. how arti

you're looking at some real jack in the box haters. yeah, they exist. they have no idea they're about to try my new smashed jack. this is good. it's very fresh. i like the sauce. i'm a saucy woman. probably not the best. not the best... she came in a white sedan. tow it. almost like a flavor bomb. i don't think it's a fast food hamburger. this is more like homemade. -it's me! -ahahaha! oh shoot, jack! if this is your new burger... yeah? -i'm going to you. say hello to the best-rated burger in fast food. welcome to jack in the box! welcome back. baseball is here again. taking a live look at both the bay area ballparks and it's opening day for the

a's and the giants. but we'll have to wait for at least one of those teams home openers until next week. the giants are on the road today in san diego opening up the season. logan webb is up against thepadres' darvish and both aces for their squads is it's going to be an exciting season for san francisco. giants made some great new additions during the off-season. giants padres starts at 1:10 first pitch this afternoon. well, hopefully the a's bounce back a bit more this year for their potential final season at the coliseum. newly acquired lefty alex wood up against cleveland guardians' number one starter, shane bieber should be a good match-up. oakland will begin the season here at home at the coliseum first pitch for that game just after 7:00 tonight. but unfortunately fans might not be thinking about the team this year. they have big e issues to worry about reed like the potential move to las vegas. >> still a lot of questions circulating about that move. so you see right here, these are renderings of the a's' new $1.5 billion ballpark. planned for

las vegas. looks downright fancy right? so who's going to pay for this fancy stadium? nevada leaders green lit up to about $380 million in public money to fund the portion of the stadium construction underline a portion: but a lot of people in las vegas are not happy about that move. in fact, the nevada teachers' union is taking it to court. saying stadium money should instead improve education and not build fancy stadiums. still it looks like the fix is in. the a's hiring a company to oversee ticket and suite sales and the planned new stadium looks to be going up soon on the las vegas strip where the old tropicana stands. finish date they say in time for the 2028 season. until 2028, where will the a's play? another big question. so you see the coliseum here. the a's' lease with the coliseum ends after this season. we can give you update on this part. the team is met with top bosses to try to extend that lease. but so far no deal announced yet and another meeting happens next week and we will have our ear to the ground on that one. so if there's no deal in

oakland what happens? well, we understand sacramento and salt lake city are in serious contention. as just temporary homes. lots to work on and but we're told if there's any silver lionelling it's that oakland has reportedly also been in talks with major league baseball about bringing in an expansion team in return for giving the a's a lease extension. gianna? well, the whole move situation, reed, just really doesn't sit well with some fans. knowing it could be their final year here in oakland. so they're planning to send a message for today's home opener by boycotting the game. >> yeah, our intent is not to go to any games whatsoever. you know, john fisher doesn't deserve our money. the a's' portion, the front office, do not deserve the love. >> so here's what's happening today. if you want to join the boycott, fans will be parking and packing the lot with a massive tailgate. but they're not actually going to go inside the coliseum. parking will be closed two hours before first pitch and that's when things will open up but oakland vice mayor kaplan is asking the a's to open the lot earlier in

order to avoid traffic safety issues. we've reached out to the a's for comment but have yet to hear back from them. and if there was not enough tension between the a's' organization and fans, this is according to sports reporting website sb nation. they're reporting the team once again blocked all replies on x. this, after a string of negative comments about them. now the a's did something very similar back in december if you remember. that blockade ended after a few weeks. we've reached out to the a's for comment on this and still waiting to hear back as well. and since we have not blocked replies on our social media accounts we wanted to ask you the fans, do you support the boycott against the home opener? a simple yes or no and look at this. overwhelmingly 80% say yes. 19% say no. i mean, there's a lot of unhappy fans. can you blame them? coming up in our 7:00 a.m. show on pix+ 44 cable 12, we're going to break open the a's' move conversation even more in our "people are talking" segment. but it's not all hate, reed you know, there are

fans out there who still love the team and grew up watching them. >> implant in love for the a's still is in full bloom. and shawn chitnis is live this morning outside the oakland coliseum with the story of a superfan whose love is downright rosy. good morning, shawn. >> reporter: hey guys, good morning. yeah, you have just explained why there's so muchuncertainty. so some don't really want to spend the day here. but we found one fan who has such a great positive attitude if you just spent a few minutes with him, you cannot help but see the faith that he has for his team. if wearing a suit and tie shows people you are serious about what you do, then todd swank wants fellow fans to know he's a pro when it comes to cheering on the oakland athletics. >> sometimes people forget the ushers are the hosts to our baseball party. >> reporter: and that means

celebrating everyone who makes the game possible at the oakland coliseum. >> the little things in life that mean a lot. and we're so proud of our oakland a's yellow and green. and right here, we get both our yellow and green. >> reporter: since the pandemic, todd has given out roses to the ushers at the first and last day the a's play at home. >> every time i hand out a flower, it's a -- blooming memory for life. and i really, really enjoy how shall i say? what goodness comes back to me tenfold in the -- in the name of a flower gift. >> reporter: he's been a fan for decades following the team as a child all the way back to the '70s when he lived in pennsylvania and saw them win the world series three years in a row. the a's haven't given fans seasons like that in quite some time. and the support they've shown toward the team isn't the same either. >> i have spent my whole life living in the now. because we can't control the future. and we can't redo the past. what we can do now is cherish the

moment. >> reporter: but todd remains optimistic the a's aren't leaving oakland yet. no matter the team's record at the end of the year, and where the team plays, he wants this opening day to start with the sweet smell of something satisfying. and offer another bright beginning to a new season of baseball. >> there's too much good times to still be had for the kids, for the elder folks such as myself, and every age group in-between. >> reporter: all right, so todd altogether will be giving out eight dozen rosss today and understands why people are participating in the boycott and certainly has been critical of the ownership as well. but he wants to see as many fans as he can. as well as away and home. he wants to make the case for oakland. he believes the fan base of course is great here and he also says hey, what about the weather? he thinks oakland has some of the best baseball weather in the country. guys, back to you.

>> wonder take thorns off the roses for the owners? shawn chitnis. thank you so much. [ laughter ] that was very well put. reed. i mean. >> every rose has its thorn. >> a positive story coming out from, you know, oakland fans and so son because it's really been kind of hard. but hey baseball is here. and i know with the a's opening up tonight, paul, how's the weather going to look? are we going to need some jackets. >> i think sneak in a pretty decent night for baseball tonight and can't really say the same moving forward on friday and saturday but we're going to get the game in tonight but yes i would suggest a sweatshirt or a jacket if you are heading out to the game. mostly cloudy skies and little breezy. but likely rain-free for the guardians at the a's and ringcentral coliseum. they might move and we know the deal. i was here for many years and we were talking about the stadium site and that site. should we go to san jose? we don't know how it's going to turn out but the a's are still here and embrace them while we can. not great weather for the giants on the road. down interstate 5 in san diego.

they're going to be fine today and tomorrow. but saturday, rain likely could be couple of inches of rain in southern california and thunderstorms are likely on sunday. so this series may turn out to be a two game series there. the radar currently is mainly clear and we do have some scattered showers out there especially in the north bay. let's talk about how much rain fell last night. because it was a decent amount. not a ton. our mountain locations like ben lomond in the south bay got up to an inch of rainfall. let's take a look at some of the rainfall totals. redwood city about 0.2 of rainfall and fremont the same. and exactly 0.2 of rain in san francisco. half-moon bay. slightly less. oakland, almost 0.2 of rain. and over my shoulder here out toward napa. you were the highest airport total at about 0.5 of rainer slightly less than that. we got rain yesterday evening. the rain has moved out and now we have what i would call the scattered showers mode

in-between the storms. here are your first alert weather headlines. it's a brief break. today not going to be that wet and you are going to get some sunshine. storm number two moves in tomorrow and that's going to give us a weekend split. now looks like sunday easter sunday, will be mainly dry. but friday and saturday for the holiday weekend are going to be a little bit wet. or in some cases a big bit wet. san jose today partly sunny skies and not that warm low 60s but likely stay rain-free. two storms out there. one is still spinning off the coastline that's the boundary of the front that came through yesterday evening giving you rain after dinner in the south and east bay. here's storm number two. it's bigger and slower more importantly. it's going to take its own path along the california coast for a couple of days. so giving us a two days of a solid rain chance. let's time it out for you today just a few scattered showers out there through the afternoon and the evening. plenty of sunshine. as we roll through friday, watch the change. friday morning during

the overnight hours, not that much. by friday afternoon, rain envelops northern california and steady shocking rainfall and likely also see some pretty strong wind gusts as well. 30, 40 miles per hour and some of you are under a wind advisory. so today, just some scattered showers. not too much out there. rain and wind tomorrow. tomorrow is going to be a pretty sloppy day. rain continues and isolated thunderstorm chance on saturday. here's the best change i can give you. storms should be gone in time for a dry sunday. monday we're dry. and tuesday we're dry. and wednesday we're dry. it's going to be pretty pleasant and sunny week next week. but stormy tomorrow and saturday and thankfully not continuing into sunday. that's your forecast. now a look at the roads with gianna. good morning. >> looking forward to sunday now since we have the dry conditions. thank you paul. let's take a look at the freeways this morning. good morning to you on this thursday. and if you are headed down to the ball game later on today at the coliseum for the a's, and maybe you will be

part of the boycott of the parking lot or maybe go to the game. just expect busy conditions along 880 right now it's moving great and live look here at the nimitz and you can see it's not a bad commute at all. but you know, might get a little bit busier later on especially as folks head out there. also a concert happening at the oakland aroadway no as well. which shares the parking lot with the coliseum. pretty busy there tonight. maybe going to the game or potentially the concert also. so expect those delays and some busy conditions there. other than that, we're doing okay along 880. but in the south bay we are monitoring this traffic alert. northbound 101, just as you approach oakland road. lanes are blocked and you got your backup to 280 and 680. reed? all right, thank you so much gianna. time right now 5:23 in the morning. losing powerball again make you feel a little powerless on a thursday? big draw now drawing you

everybody. what beautiful place we live and of course we are looking at the weather. i need to have a better attitude, paul. i need to fix my mind here but then i remember we need the water. right? we need the reservoirs full. >> need the reservoirs full and we'll be very happy in july when we don't see a drop of rain. we're the driest place in north america in the summer. let's get of it way now and hopefully before the holiday. a lot of vow outdoor plans on sunday. sunday's forecast has changed for the better. that is great news. the forecast for tomorrow and saturday, is just as quoting reed, bleh as it looked 24 hours ago. most of you are dry, likely a wave of a shower or two through the day but we're 46 in petaluma and 52 novato and 51 in napa and vallejo low 50s and mid 50s mild in oakland and 54 degrees you are going to warm up like five degrees the entire day. redwood city and half-moon bay at 54. san francisco, 53. fremont 55 and livermore 50. and out in the south bay, you are also in the mid 40s los

gatos typically cooler than san jose by seven, eight degrees. it's a mild morning out there because we have lots of cloud cover still. here's a look at the radar. it was very active when darren had the forecast for you last night. and it's not completely dry bud it's markedly less active. we're heading up towards the north bay and seeing just a few showers moving on shore and north of bodega bay. get you and santa rosa and healdsburg and probably hopping over the beautiful hills into napa county and you may get some showers over the next hour or so. not much. but there's still some scattered showers out there. santa rosa today, more sunshine this morning than this afternoon. but mainly dry. but chilly. highs will only be in the upper 50s this afternoon. all setting the stage for that second storm which gets here tomorrow and details on that coming up and your traffic details with gianna right now. good morning. and i got some details because we've got some stuff going on this morning. here's a look at traffic conditions at the bay bridge. metering lights not yet in the next couple of minutes likely be flipped on and traffic is clear heading into the city and the roadways

are fairly dry. so that's good news, we're getting that break until that rain comes back in tomorrow. paul just talking about that but i'm going to zoom in here on san jose just a heads-up. this is where we are tracking a very slow ride and looks like we're getting word of a couple of crashes behind the big accident. this is north 101 between santa clara street and oakland road. there's a traffic alert with three lanes completely shut down. now according to chp, it's a pretty serious crash. that's why it's taking a long time to clear this one out of lanes. use 87 or 280 in the meantime as an alternate. reed? well, gianna, we continue following developments in the wake of the deadly baltimore bridge collapse. divers braving icy waters this morning. they've pulled two bodies that came from the tragedy when the cargo ship caused the bridge to fall. they're out again in the mangled metal underwater searching for four more construction workers who are missing and this morning thought to be dead. and new this morning, worry about chemical leaks into the river where the crash happened. national transportation safety board says that ship carried

dozens of con tiners of hastous materials and some we understand were breached in the crash. so chemical leaks are a major concern there. and this morning, investigators are going to listen to the tapes recovered from the ship's on board recording system or black box and study why this happened with the goal of making sure this never happens again. >> our mission is to determine why something happened and how it happened and to prevent it from reoccurring. again, to save lives. >> well, there's another impact here. the port of baltimore is closed and that means thousands of jobs are on pause. that port sees more vehicle imports and exports than any other in the united states. so ships are being rerouted but there's a larger impact here as you see the ships just waiting there in the water. global supply chains are seeing interruption until that bridge wreckage is cleared and we don't know when but first of all, the most important thing, the people. right? so we're awaiting word on the four workers still missing in the waters. then the

investigation happening in realtime for all of those details stay with us on air and online at kpix.com and streaming on our cbs news bay area app. time now for a look at this morning's other top stories, sam bankman-fried will be sentenced today on new york. the 32-year-old billionaire was convicted of creating investors out of at least $10 billion. back in november. prosecutors recently filed papers recommending bankman-fried be sentenced to up to 50 years behind bars for the crimes that shocked the cryptocurrency world. his lawyers are calling for no more than six and a half years. a sentencing hearing for the man who attacked paul pelosi with a hammer in san francisco has been delayed by a month. david depape was originally scheduled to be sentenced on the assault and kidnapping charges on april 24th but the hearing conflicts with depape's state trial which hasn't started yet. sentencing now been pushed back to may 22nd. a new attempt to recall

mount diablos or mount tams of the world will get any snow showers but some rain showers at times throughout the day today. and also some breaks in the clouds. here's your first alert neighborhood forecast for san jose. you got a good dose of rainfall last night. rain-free today and notice a 10% chance of a shower and at any point in time throughout the day. 60 degrees by 1:00 this afternoon. should be a decent day and a little breezy and cooler and this is for tomorrow. into saturday. not only is it going to be wet, but especially for the coast range, san mateo county, santa cruz county, santa clara county, and also out to the tri-valley the higher elevations and then get windy. wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour and a wind advisory has already been posted for those spots. for our cities, this is a profile pick the town that's closest to you maybe it's fairfield 22-mile-per-hour gusts on friday and 23 on saturday. half-moon bay, closer to 30. san francisco, oakland, santa rosa likely will see wind gusts of 30 to 35 miles per hour. so tomorrow is going to be pretty

windy in addition to the rainfall. storm number one is still spinning off the western washington and british columbia coastline. but that front has moved through and that's the rain you got last night. and that's no longer an issue. so let's turn our attention to the second storm which is not only going to be a bigger storm it's going to be moving slower. so we're going to see a prolonged rain event coming up from that. here's a look at futurecast at lunchtime today. you will see there are some breaks in the clouds but there are still some scattered showers out there. mainly for the north bay and then mainly for the sierra. that's the two spots that have the highest chance of seeing showers and we're dry this evening and we're mainly dry overnight but you can see the clouds thickening and here comes that second storm. right around this time tomorrow. 6:00 is when the rain begins to move in. this one a lot more colorful which means more intense rainfall. so some pretty heavy rain for the santa cruz mountains and it's going to add up especially along the coast and in the north bay. this is one of the more aggressive computer models but i want to highlight it for you. there's the potential for 1 point # to 3-inches of

rainfall in sonoma county and northern marin county and napa county and points north. san francisco, about an inch of rain. so we could see some minor flooding potential in the north bay because of that. so watch out for wet weather and windy weather coming up on friday and also saturday. high temperatures today will be kept down. we're on the backside of the front so even though we get some sunshine, san jose 63. redwood city 62 and half-moon bay brisk day and high of 57 degrees and san francisco, 59. concord, low 60s. and mainly the mid- to upper 50s for the north bay. so partly cloudy skies today and scattered showers for the north bay. but temperatures will be a couple of degrees cooler than what we've had over the past few days and i want to show you the extended forecast because there's a very important change. i want to show you the change here. it's not today and tomorrow or saturday. those still look soggy. i want to highlight sunday. easter sunday, now looks like the storm will get out of here. and sunday is going to be dry and that sets the stage and tees up what will be a very pleasant

an alternate route. but again, three lanes are still blocked due to the very serious crash as you head through there. keep an eye on this throughout the morning and especially when we see more and more cars out there making that commute out of san jose. well, the first weekend of the ncaa tournament showed what makes march madness so great. we had some big upsets and really some unforgettable finishes and of course incredible performances. >> so we're getting ready for a lot more with the sweet 16 getting under way today in the men's tournament and of course who can forget the women's tournament that happens tomorrow? lots of heat and win behind that one. all the teams putting extra work on the hardwood getting ready for the biggest blames in their young careers and guess what? you can watch some of the game right here on kpix today. tip-off for clemson and arizona just after 4:00 and then later at about 6:40, you can watch alabama and north carolina. >> okay. so let's take a look at the brackets here at kpix. max and sara still in first
