taylor swift. looks like the tortures poets view. top of the mark, down right moody out there this morning on a friday. just like crawl back under a blanket and read a book weather. darren? not yet. i have some blue skies to share with you later for today and it's going to be a tale of two different days because i got misted on in the drive in to work today and the streets were a little damp. and it is gray. and there's a system that is going to be lurking off the coast going to try to bring us a little bit of rain. but you are also going to see more blue sky today than not. even with this system you see the rain off the far northwest coast? you see there's just a few light showers we're showing up there for us and when we play it through the rest of today, just a few green little blips keep showing up right off the coast but look at us. i'm going to stop it there like 2:00, 3:00 in the afternoon and it really is warm blue sky than anything else for the bay. while there's pretty good rain going on and some of those are like downpours with isolated thunderstorms. that's going on in the central valley today. and off our coast, there'll be a few light showers. what we really noticed today is it's going to be a bit breezy and we

have to talk about the wind coming up in the complete first alert forecast. right now, ready to step out the door, anywhere near the water, if you are coaster or in the hills, you are likely going to encounter some drizzle today particularly san mateo county coastline and in the city. the streets are slick i can verify that from very light mist that's been coming down there. but if you are inland likely not going to have to deal with that this morning and we have warm-up for the end of the 7 day forecast. we'll look at this coming up in the complete forecast in a few minutes. for now, gianna, how does the drive look so far? obviously keeping a close eye on it because it's a little slick out there. i had the wipers going also this morning. but hopefully it won't stick around too long. golden gate bridge, not bad. the commute is pretty quiet through here. if you are headed over into san francisco. and we're hoping it's friday light for the most part. right now we're not seeing a lot of issues or slowdowns on any of our major freeways. so if you are taking 880, 101, everything is all clear out of the south bay. no major accidents or

incidents to report. and if you are headed through the altamont pass well, that's a little busy. live look at the bay bridge, so far, so good. for traffic heading into the city. now there's a weekend closure that will affect your ride along 680. i'll have details on that coming up in my next report. right now though it's time for a look at this morning's top stories. today the oakland police department will be holding an open memorial service for former officer jordan wingate. officer wingate passed away this last saturday. he died from injuries he received from a car crash while on duty back in august of 2018. the memorial will be taking place at three crosses church on john drive in castro valley. services will begin at 11:00 a.m. over in pleasanton, a community is in mourning this after a tri-valley family of four including two children were killed in a fiery car crash. it happened yesterday on the western edge of the city on foothill road between stone ridge drive. friends of the family showed up to lay flowers

at the crash site. >> very shocking. you know, very nice person. always you know, energetic. and it was always a player to work with him and talk to him and you see a lot of conversation. >> no other cars were involved. this is not the first time tragedy struck on foothill roseroad in pleasanton. one christmas night 2019. twin teenage brothers and their friends were killed and their vehicle also slammed into a tree. well, turning to san francisco parking enforcement officers are saying they are under attack. and they are afraid it's only going to get worse. their cries for help come as the city plans to issue a whole lot more tickets in the coming weeks and months. >> some guy got upset because they got affect and he followed me about two, three blocks and waited for me. punched the window. and it cut my eye. >> well, a sfmta spokesperson says they prioritize the

employees' safety and that crime is down 48% since 2018. they also say that officers get de-escalation training self-defense tools and have access to a dispatch center that communicates directly to police. reed? all right, so let us know what you think of this. students who have worked hard to get their degrees at usc will not experience their main stage graduation ceremony now. because of pro palestinian protests, protesting students at some campuses across the country alleging their universities have ties with israel that should be cut. at the same time, jewish students say some of the phrases used during protests across the country cause them to feel unsafe. here's jarred hill. [ chanting ] >> reporter: at emory university, clashes between police and pro palestinian protesters. it's the latest escalation as students and faculty at campuses across the country mobilize against israel's war with hamas in gaza. at the university of texas austin, a calmer day than

the one before when more than 50 people were arrested. students though still pushed for the university to cut ties with the israeli government. >> it is my understanding that university of texas austin funds research that israel directly benefits from. >> reporter: at the same time, a small group of jewish students held a separate rally, making their voices heard. >> i hear their side and i understand that. but when they start attacking the religion and ethnicity and not the country, that's when it becomes an issue for me. >> reporter: at california's ucla. efforts to strike a balance in the rhetoric. >> i do feel there are elements of anti-semitism deep anti-semitism, especially when you hear chants like long live and from the river to the sea. i'm trying to avoid any sort of slogan like that on our side. >> reporter: back at columbia university, the epicenter of the protests, tents still cover the lawn as negotiations and graduation preps continue. yesterday, echoed id live protester encampments in berkeley this morning looking live at a student encampment at

stanford. these students also say the university has ties to israel via its investments. the encampment at stanford first showed up last night with tenths and signs saying divest now and hands off rafah an area in palestine. this is the second pro palestinian demonstration by students at stanford. the first encampment lasted 120 days disbanded in february. in exchange for meetings with university leadership where the students expressed concerns at this point. berkeley too the site of the protest. more than 100 people in the tents this morning at sproul plaza. students there demanding the university take an official position against the war in gaza. listen. >> it is absolutely ridiculous that the university that prides itself on diversity, equity and inclusion berkeley specifically on having a very radical history of student organizing refuses to stand on the side of justice and divest. >> as other campuses across the

country see arrests by police. well, cal released a statement saying they will not involve law enforcement unless it's absolutely necessary to protect the physical safety of that campus community because of its experience with non-violent political protests. the history there. governor gavin newsom also answering that question about response to protests. here's what he had to say. >> we're working with the trustees and with the university systems as it relates to our public role and responsibility. and so we're very mindful of what's going on in the campuses. and want to maintain people's rights to protest and at the same time do so peacefully. without any hate. we don't want any -- any more of, you know, i just want to avoid lot of what we're seeing in other parts of the country. >> well, protests happen here and across the country and we are reminds this morning of more than 100 hostages held by

terror group hamas this very morning. they've been in captivity six months and also this morning, president joe biden echoes the calls of 17 other world leaders demanding hamas release the hostages taken in its terror attack that killed about 1200 people in southern israel. lot to unpack here and many perspectives. for continuing coverage on what's happening in the middle east the occupation at uc berkeley and now also on the campus of stanford and other campuses across the country, stay with us on air and online, kpix.com and streaming on cbs 24/7. 5:09. celebrating bridge builders. job fair making sure former inmates have a chance at a productive life. and an underdog story in the bay area. the soccer team winning over fans across it's never a good time for migraine, especially when i'm on camera. that's why my go-to is nurtec odt. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. it's the only migraine medication that helps treat & prevent, all in one.

honoring national second chance month. g? well, reed, elephant seals are facing a growing hazard from people who are getting too close to them. they're already vulnerable during the current pupping season. but now there are signs that people are loving the seals a little too much. the marine mammal sent in marin county is taking in five, six animals a day. and right now it has close to about 150 patients already. so one of the problems driving this surge is that people are getting too close to sick and lethargic animals and a new study shows that 30% of stranded or sick marine mammals had some form of human or dog disturbance. >> as a result there was lot of crowding and selfie taking which was inhibiting sometimes our ability to respond and added additional stress to an animal that was already very, very sick. >> the marine mammal center says people can be a part of the solution. anyone who sees an animal on the beach that might need help. contact the center through the hotline. just -- you know, let them have

their space. that always kind of bugs me when people do that. >> yeah. right. okay. so speaking of space, this is what we looked like from the top of the mark this morning. it is just a moody way to wake up. the cloud cover. the fog is there and -- tearen we're going to bring in you here because we have hopes for a sunnier weekend than this. we're going to get it. you are going to get a sunnier friday and it looks pretty gray out there now and it is. and i'm going to use the virtual map to show you how -- some of us are actually getting rain out of this. most of us aren't. but some of us are. and then we're going to use the forecast imagery and i'm going to show you how this day is actually going to be kind of -- it's going to be sunny but it's actually wind that's going to be a bigger issue. but first thing we have to do is start out with the big view on the map. and what we're going to do is put on where the actual rainfall totals are on here so far. because there's a pattern: the numbers on here are kind of small and i'm going to pick out two locations on here and first place we're going to look is over here and then we're going to down the coast, san francisco, you have gotten 0.04 of rain already out of this. half-moon bay, you

have gotten about 0.04 of rain out of this. down south down the peninsula to see if anybody else has anything from here and you really don't. go inland and there's not anything. redwood city, you got nothing. san jose, you haven't gotten any rain and the inland valleys haven't gotten any rain out of this either. so -- it's localized and you have got to be near the coast if you are going to get any of this mist. and it's been really light stuff so far. look at first alert doppler, we can actually see where the showers are. and when we do that. we can pick out where the rainfall has been -- light enough to show up on some of the rain gauges and in fact, let's try and get into some of that forecast imagery over here. you can see the big picture pattern with the storm well off to the north. but it is dragging just far enough our direction that some of those light showers have been picked up over the -- the hills and the coast and it will go like this through the remainder of this morning. and not a whole lot to it. and -- i think the bigger story today is going to be the wind that picks up as we get into the afternoon. see the

showers along the peninsula there? that's kind of right in line with what we were looking at on the virtual map for where there's rainfall that you can actually measure. and as we watch the futurecast, there's a few more of those that will show up throughout the morning just kind of sitting off the coast. and then more impressive ones show up in the afternoon going down the central valley. you can have an isolated thunderstorm out there today. but meanwhile, for us, it's blue sky. blue sky while all the while, there's a chance you could get a light shower out of this. i wouldn't be -- a big defining factor on the day though. i think the wind will be bigger issue and look what happens by the afternoon. now 40-mile an hour wind gusts coming down the coast. and if we look at that a little bit closer and pick out your number, watch the screen light up. and now you can see for your part of the bay, if you are inland it's like a 20-mile an hour breeze today. not all that bad. but if you are anywhere near the water now you have got that 40-mile an hour wind. this is going to be stronger wind than what you had yesterday. it was breezy and kind of classic on shore winds yesterday if you were near the

water or near a gap in the hills. you felt the wind. but today, it's going to be stronger than that. and these will be the 40-mile an hour winds that really rush down the coast and get your attention. there's no wind advisory so that's good news. it's not strong enough for that. but it's still a windy day. there's the weekend. so even though we're going to have plenty of sunshine today, you are going to get a lot more of that saturday and sunday. we'll start a warming trend and we will be near 80 degrees by the time we get to wednesday and thursday. we might not get to 80 for everybody inland. but we'll be right in that neighborhood. all right. gianna, how's the drive looking? it's doing okay in some spots, darren. and unfortunately i am just getting word of a trouble spot on the 101 connector over towards 92. there's some sort of a crash with a spill in the roadway and that they've got that connector blocked. i'll have more on that coming up throughout the morning. but for now, we're going to get a live look at bay bridge toll plaza and you can see moving along very well. safe to say friday light commute as you head over into san francisco. here's a bit of the overview right now. even with that trouble spot along 101 and 92, doesn't look like we're seeing a lot of

brake lights or delays because of that. again, it's andless volume on the roadway but something you want to think about, there's road work happening this weekend on 680. between coopman and that 580 director at the dublin interchange. so they'll have some freeway closures through throughout the weekend and something to think about. but when that happens on the weekend closures, it's northbound side that's affected. you are going to see a lot of traffic and a lot of backup as it can take a lot of time to get around this so maybe use b.a.r.t. and e use b. use alternates in the meantime or try to avoid the freeway if you can. b.a.r.t. is on time this morning. muni as well. caltrain no delays. working on the issue at the pier for sausalito. that ferry to sf. hoping to have that wrapped up and back on track by next week. and track maintenance for vta on the orange lightrail line this morning. it's 5:19. a big day for football last night. and the 49ers added some offensive fi

all day and night. some breaking news right now and you see the have had. major building fire in san francisco. this fire and the fire fight happening at the intersection of lyon and clay streets. this is in the presidio heights neighborhood. the fire department reported that there was a heavy fire on all four floors of this

building. as you see here, about 60 firefighters are now on the scene. at last word, the fire mostly knocked down. the fire really though causing quite a substantial amount of damage. we also understand as we have crews on the bay to the scene that there's some major smoke issues for those of you waking up in that neighborhood near lyon and clay. lot of you telling us that you are hear -- you are being advised to shelter in place. what that means is just don't go outside and shut the doors and windows and try to keep the smoke out of the morning. our crew headed to the scene will have live images as soon as we get there. gianna? all right, reed, thank you for that. the 49ers made a surprise move in last night's nfl draft. the niners were widely expected to trade up in the draft by giving up one of their stars. instead, they held on to the current players. it's good news. and use their number 31 pick to take a young man who they hope will add to their offense. >> with the 31st pick in the 2024 nfl draft, the san

francisco 49ers select ricky pearsall, wide receiver, florida. >> well, the speedy pearsall caught 65 passes for 965 yards last season with the gators. he started his college career at arizona state where he was teammates with brandon aiyuk in 2019. the pick came amid speculation that the niners could trade aiyuk or samuel during the draft but aiyuk actually approved the selection. >> brandon just texted. [ laughter ] >> we got in the way in. >> yeah. fire pick. >> fire pick. no lie. >> i can't lie. >> just got off the phone with him before i got over here on this zoom call. and he was just con grating me man and just you know getting on the call and telling me over and over again you are a first rounder man. like soak it up and you deserve it all the work that i put in because it's been a lot of work put in since the last day we ran routes together. >> welcome to the bay. interest in soccer is on the upswing in the bay area. thanks in part to the newly formed oakland roots as well as

an older club from san francisco. whose name you are just as likely to see on a bag of tacos as you are on the pitch. loureen ayyoub explains. >> reporter: from the kitchen to the field, the story may have began with tacos. but it's moving forward with new goals. every kick gets him closer to his goal. gabriel arias is a center midfielder with the team in san francisco. the team started back in 1985 named after the owner's chain of beloved bay area taquerias. at 25 years old even after college, gabriel says he's grateful to have an outlet to continue to do what he loves. with a community he's grown to lough. >> means a lot. peace of mind to me. being able to step on the field with my teammates. like to call them brothers. >> reporter: a team of brothers of all ages and backgrounds. the club team plays in the

national premier soccer league and while the players are all passionate about the sport, most have regular day jobs to allow them them to continue to do what they love. as for gabriel he's been working hard to balance being a construction engineer by day and soccer athlete by night. he hopes to play professionally one day but sometimes even during practice, those work demands continue. >> it's a whole different world being an engineer in the field of construction. way more stuff going on. >> when you come here, it's all just brotherhood. >> reporter: a brotherhood that evolved when the original owner saliva core lopez opened his first taqueria in the mission. now with 12 locations throughout the bay area, diners who frequent the chain like taylor burkings love supporting the sport too. >> i love soccer and i'm a soccer player myself. so it's good to support soccer wherever i can. and the burritos are good, it's a win/win. >> reporter: from the open cup to the strong standings in the npsl, speaking of winning, just how far can they go? well,

according to gabriel, all the way. he wants people to know just how passionate the bay area soccer scene is. >> there's great talent here. you know. more scouts should come out here and look at all the talent there is. >> reporter: talent, passion, and limitless goals. 5:26 in the morning. mayor london breed working to keep the keys to the mayor's office. we went along an alternative to pills, voltaren is a clinically proven arthritis pain relief gel, which penetrates deep to target the source of pain with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine directly at the source. voltaren, the joy of movement.

(♪♪) i'm getting vaccinated with pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. come on. i already got a pneumonia vaccine, but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older,

you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia.

all right, top of the mark now. we are looking east and you can see from the flag blowing a little bit of wind there in the city. still not enough to move carl out. carl is just sitting right on top of us this morning. darren peck. >> go away. >> well, it will later today. carl is going to give you a break and you will see blue sky by the afternoon but it's an interesting day because blue sky doesn't mean the storm is gone. there's a weak storm it's moving through northern california today. we got plenty of clouds out here and we were looking at rainfall totals in the last visit and anywhere near the water or in the hills, we've gotten enough mist this morning the streets are going to be slick and about 0.# 1 of rain and in fact just look at some of the totals on here most places have nothing on them but anywhere -- look at san francisco, just about 0.04 of rain on here and you can see petaluma also done that. so has half-moon bay. but there's a pattern. all three of those are kind of lined up near the coast. if you are inland, you

really haven't gotten any measureful rainfall out of this not to say maybe it hasn't misted bit for you. let's get into the live first alert doppler just kind of see where that rain is. back here on the forecast imagery. the showers really show up along the hills of the peninsula. you can kind of see the -- there's one right there nice little green return showing up there. just -- coast side for san mateo county. but there's not really a whole lot maybe in the east bay hills and i think we are probably getting some light mist this morning. up in the east bay hills. but if we put it in the futurecast you want to see how the rest of the day is going to go? more blue skies and watch the clearing that shows up here. this is not total all day blue sky but you will get a lot of blue sky today while there are showers just kind of lingering off the coast. the bigger issue is going to be what shows up right there. it's going to get windy this afternoon. 40-mile an hour gusts again, along the coast. but inland you will probably feel about a 20, 25-mile an hour breeze as well today. so when we get back together again coming up in the complete first alert forecast, we'll look at this system in its entirety. we'll play through the wind for the afternoon and then yep,

we're going to get specific on the weekend. what's this mean? for your saturday and sunday. i think you will like it and i have got some good news there. for now, gianna, how's the drive looking? in and out of san francisco, just a heads-up. i'mgoing to zoom in here, there are some roads closures in place on lyon street both directions from washington to sacramento street. that's due to a building fire. reed will have more on that in just a minute but in the meantime, avoid that area if you can. as fire crews work and there's a lot of smoke through there also. so be extra careful. we'll check to see if there's any reroutes for muni heading through there. but again street closures lyons street both directions from washington to sacramento street. other than that we're seeing kind of business as usual on the bay bridge toll plaza. with no delays. but there are some changes to -- mass transit this morning. vta still doing maintenance work on their orange lightrail line between mountain view and lockheed. and also sausalito to san francisco, that service is still suspended as they work to

fix the pier there. hoping to have that wrapped up by early next week. back to that breaking news on that fire. reed? yeah, let's continue that conversation because it is a major fire fight a major building fire in san francisco. and this is video that we received from sf fire. this is in the area of lyon and clay streets. and to let you know exactly where that is. there's the presidio heights neighborhood. fire department reported earlier heavy fire and you can see that from these images. all four floors of the building affected. 60 firefighters now going toe to toe with the flames. at last word the fire mostly knocked down but we understand substantial smoke is still in the area. you are likely waking up in that area smelling it and seeing the remnants. nearby residents we understand you have a lot of questions so here's what we know. you are asked to shelter in place just shut your doors and shut your windows and seal that smoke out. and fire crews will keep you posted. they'll knock on your door likely to tell you when it's safe to go. speaking of crews we have one on the way

to the scene as soon as we get there we'll have live images but we do think sf fire for the images and video this morning so we can get this story on the record. reaction this morning to news of disgraced movie producer harvey weinstein's 2020 rape conviction overturned. the new york court of appeals making that decision yesterday. they ruled weinstein didn't get a fair trial. so here's the crux of why they made this decision. and weinstein's new york case, the judge allowed women to testify against weinstein who were really not a part of the charges or criminal prosecution in that specific case. prosecutors vow they'll try him again. by the way this ruling was not a get out of jail free card and weinstein will be behind bars serving a 16 year prison sentence in california on a separate rape case. former president donald trump will be back in a manhattan courtroom this morning. the former president is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star stormy daniels. today david

pecker will take the stand again. meantime the supreme court considering a major question that could have huge impact on donald trump. can a president or former president expect total immunity for choices made in office? justices heard arguments to give way to whether trump is immune from criminal prosecution for what he claims were official acts while in office. the decision the likely to have implications on the special counsel's election interference case against donald trump as well as this year's presidential race. well, newly returned from china, san francisco mayor london breed now on the stump for votes in san francisco. right there on the street level. she wants to keep her job and is making the case to voters at the neighborhood level. in fact, she has major opposition this morning you see the faces here. several high-profile challengers campaigning on promises of change. each touting their own solutions to the city's problems. from crime to the housing crisis. the candidates all deploying the strategy of neighborhood conversations with

voters face-to-face and wilson walker went along with mayor breed doing the same as she walked san bruno avenue in the portola district. >> oh my goodness. you -- leon, you got my grandmothers out here in the cold. >> reporter: in a blustery afternoon wind, mayor london breed hit san bruno avenue going door-to-door along a business corridor with a large chinese population in a sure sign that the campaign and hand to hand politics are well under way. [ laughter ] >> come on. come on. >> reporter: accompanied by the woman she calls her asian grandmother, breed led a team of supporters up and down the street for some voter outreach. her other job was never far away. >> i was asking -- the mayor if she's going to be fixing the potholes on mission street. here in san francisco. we don't -- a lot of low riding there and our cars are getting messed up. >> you say low rider. i'll talk to roberto. yeah.

terms of rainfall that you could measure. however, we still have some more rain to go. we'll come in for that more detailed look at the light showers down along the peninsula coastside there and also santa cruz mountains and not to mention the east bay hills. you have got a little bit of light rain falling for you and to go forward from here in the futurecast, there will be another round of light rain that shows up here along the coast. there's not a lot to it. there's more impressive rain from this system in the central valley. and that's where we're going to pick up a few isolated thunderstorms today. but for us really, even though there's a chance for a very light stray shower today. you are going to a get more blue sky out of this than anything else. so it's kind of a mixed bag in that way. the wind though is -- an entirely different story. this will probably be the bigger impact from today in terms of this system. see how the winds really picked up there in the afternoon? and again, focuses
