hi there, thank you for joining us. it's tuesday, april 30th. >> so let's get it started. >> as we're seeing the examples of countless universities that have resorted to such blatant forms of repression we felt essentially better safe than sorry. >> including right here in the bay area and they're getting some row cal support from faculty members. whether this can go just on us and good weather always helps with -- small business retail in san francisco. >> san francisco bouncing back. we check in with a local business getting attention all around the world. like i cannot win it. i can win it. but i didn't think i win -- going to win this big. >> the country's newest

billionaire has stepped forward to claim his prize. why the billion dollar jackpot was basically heaven sent. we have to you know, step out of the train of some of them and run out to the -- and grab a photo really quick and hoppen before the schools close again. >> students are racing through the b.a.r.t. stations at incredible speed. the world record they are trying to break. good morning, i'm gianna franco. we're doing to break the world record on going through b.a.r.t. >> that's a good idea. good morning, i'm reed cowan. >> i'm nicole zaloumis, i felt we were breaking the record on substantiating at a desk for the longest and armiiest point in the morning. >> on one leg sometimes. >> like this. yes. we win. all right, why don't we start with the developing story out of concord this morning. a major fire in concord that began overnight. here's a live look at the active scene right now. at the corner of sunset and e streets as you can see there the ladder is headed towards -- into the trees and it look like the top of the

ladder there you have a firefighter that's working actively. flames broke out around 10:00 p.m. last night. now let's take a look at some video from earlier. you can see the flames just shooting out of the roof there of a three story building. fire crews flowed water here and over two and a half hours before the blaze emptied. they confirm no one was in the building at the time of the fire. and thankfully, they reported no injuries. but because of that, there are some street closures in and around that area. so let's get you updated on the roadways there. i'm going to zoom in here in the concord area and most notably this is not far from the b.a.r.t. station in concord. so keep that in mind. there are some traffic implications because of that. it's congested in and around that area. road closures through there are 1st street southbound from sunset to sinclair. grant street both directions from concord to park street. and then the road is closed from east street southbound from concord boulevard to sunset avenue. so potentially you can use willow

pass over to highway 4. maybe take 242 down to 680. really depend on where your commute takes further morning but just be aware of the closures through there and could impact your drive if you are headed towards that concord b.a.r.t. station. the rest of our freeways are looking okay. the bay bridge toll plaza, off to a good start. no traffic to report as you head into san francisco. and we're off to a good start on most of the bay area bridges. but of course keeping a close eye on the closures in and around concord and going to update you on that through the morning. right now look at that forecast. darren is in this morning for jessica. good morning guys, this is a pretty quiet morning for us weather-wise. real focus in the forecast is what's coming for the end of the week and the weekend. real case of weather whiplash. got a big warm-up and we're going to be in the low 80s to finish the week and on saturday a 180 and temperatures are going to go way down and some rain, we are actually talking about rain coming back for saturday. so there are a lot of interesting items that have changed in the forecast lately. to keep you updated on we're going to go into a lot

of that in the complete forecast coming up in a bit. for right now let's get you ready for tuesday morning. if you are getting ready to step outside there's very little -- no fog out there. we're looking also clear skies and temperatures for the most part are sitting in the mid- to upper 50s and you can see the temperatures down in the south bay are low 50s. numbers in the city are just barely having made it up to 9 and we're looking at relatively clear skies and pretty calm conditions unless you are right near the water. because near the water, it's going to be a windy day. just like it has been. for most of the last week or so. big picture shows you the satellite and storms trying to get here but none of them are really going to have much luck in doing that. not until we get towards saturday. so when we get back together again in the complete first alert forecast, we're going to look at that saturday system. we'll time out the differences in terms of how much rain we might be getting from this one because there are some pretty big disagreements in the long-range model on it. we'll sort it all out coming up in a bit. for now back to you guys. thank you, darren. time now for a look at this morning's

other top stories. alameda county district attorney pamela price said she will go before the board of supervisors today to challenge the signature count for her recall campaign. the committee save alameda for everyone launched the recall effort less than a year into price's term as they were frustrated with her progressive politics. supervisors will receive the final count today from the registrar of voters and possibly set a recall election date. a lockdown at the san brew owe nail is expected to be lifted this morning. it comes after an inmate sent a deputy to the hospital following a brief altercation. the san francisco sheriff's office says inmate david carrs was put in a safety cell after he punched the deputy in the face. this comes weeks after the county initiated a lockdown at two county jails after multiple instances of prisoners allegedly assaulting jail employees. plans are on hold to change a san francisco intersection where a family of four was killed. the family died while waiting at a bus stop near the

west portal muni station. the city wanted to premove eight parking spaces in and implement left turn restrictions, but businesses protested it. now the city says they'll reach out to the community for more input before making any changes. reed? well, a pro palestinian protest against israel's war in gaza has more than doubled in size at uc berkeley from the protesters they actually had 60 tents at one point and now it's up too 150. that's just one of many protests across the country on campuses. in the north bay sonoma state campus educators plan to walk out of class at 1:00 today and join protesters also in encampments there. organizers of this protest want the university to disclose investments. they also want educators to create official curriculum on palestinian history and larger they say they want a ceasefire. the school telling us the main concern is safety of all on campus while supporting the right to free expression and minimizing disruptions. san francisco state university faculty group is

also joining in protest. here's john ramos. >> welcome everybody to the sf save rally for solidarity with gaza. >> reporter: the crowd of students jammed malcolm x plaza at the noontime rally. san francisco state was about to become the latest american university to establish a live in protest over the conflict between israel and the palestinians. >> free, free palestine. [ chanting ] >> reporter: the student demands are now familiar. divest from israel's military, cut ties with its universities, and recognize the action in gaza as genocide. and in the crowd was political science professor james martel. he's part of a newly formed group called faculty for justice in palestine. lending support to the student movement. >> it's beautiful. i love seeing all the students and the faculty we're all united and we've been organizing for a long time together. >> reporter: on sunday, the faculty group sent a letter to

the administration requesting that they take no action to hamper the on campus protests. they're asking that they refrain from dispatching police to student demonstrations, refrain from academic retaliation against students, and respect their right to protest on campus. still, professor martel isn't convinced things will stay peaceful. >> you know the tradition of -- if the university is to have cops come and destroy everything and arrest everyone. if they keep up that tradition, we're in trouble but i hope that doesn't happen. >> reporter: that tradition dates back to 1969 when police engaged in bloody clash with students protesting the school's treatment of people of color. the incident became a national embarrassment and led to reforms by the university including the establishment of the nation's first college of ethnic studies. another member of today's faculty group professor omar zaza hopes it wouldn't happen again he says although images from campuses around the country do feel like what happened before. >> the specific moment as we're

seeing the examples of countless universities that have resorted to this. we felt essentially better safe than sorry. come together proactively and say we're asking this not happen and we're here to support. >> reporter: when the rally ended, the protesters began assembling their tents. surrounded by a protective line of students standing hand-in-hand. they seem convinced that had there will be an effort to force the students out. professor martel would like to believe that it won't happen. >> i think that -- it's nonetheless kind of part of the tradition of how the left gets dealt with is to bring in the cops. >> reporter: college campuses have always been a crucible for social change. the question for san francisco state is whether it will be a place where history is learned or simply repeated. >> well, on the other side of the country, protesters barricaded the door of an academic building at columbia university. this escalation happened after the school suspended students who refused to break down their tent encampments in the center of

campus there. the nypd stood outside campus while at the same time protesters on campus broke windows and locked themselves inside university buildings. meanwhile update on the war in the world. the u.s. stepping up pressure for a six week ceasefire in gaza. yesterday secretary of state antony blinken gave us a look inside talks in egypt with hamas. he says the only thing standing between the people of gaza and a ceasefire is hamas. and urged hamas to sign off. what's in the proposal? it would reportedly include fewer hostages released in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners. time right now 5:10 in the morning. applying for college? and financial aid. or know somebody who is? well, listen up. system glitches and ways to navigate and news you can use, that's ahead. plus this, shawn? >> reporter: reed, good morning. it is national small business week and so we are here at ghirardelli square in san francisco talking to one of the shops inside about the >> tech: does your windshield have a crack? trust safelite. this customer had auto glass damage,

working to bounce back from business closures and layoffs national small business week puts the focus on mom and pop shops. get this. almost half of all private sector employees work for those small businesses. and they power our local economy and shawn chitnis is live this morning at ghirardelli square with the story of a business that really benefited from the recent asia pacific economic summit in san francisco. good morning, shawn. >> reporter: hey reed, good morning and certainly we know that not everyone had that effect from that event. but here's one that is happy about what they have seen since then and of course what's happening right now even this week with the good weather. this coming with a survey earlier this year of smaller businesses that found that around half actually more than half, are highly optimistic about the current economy. and this shop agrees, saying that they believe that as the summer comes closer, they're expecting even more of a boost to their business. almost six months since elizabeth w. san francisco was featured in the gift bag for

the apec summit, owner michael lindsay sees the impact of that opportunity from his store inside ghirardelli square. not only did it expose their products to international customers, the media coverage around the event got the attention of more local shoppers. >> we are feeling pretty positive elizabeth w currently. had a good month of april. and weather has turned gorgeous on us and good weather always helps with -- small business retail in san francisco. >> reporter: in fact, this month the business had another chance to stand out overseas. one of their bags was part of the mayor's trip to china with a special design to encourage pandas coming to san francisco. and now a spring sale at the store is just one more sign that it will get busier in the next few weeks. starting with mother's day. >> we're over the worst of, you know, quiet february, quiet march. and now it's just -- hopefully plain saling through the summertime. >> reporter: and as a new season approaches, michael sees

more reasons for tourists to come by and shop here. with more restaurants and other stores filling up the square and speaking of new additions elizabeth w just added another location inside sfo. the changing climate for small businesses with rising costs and concerns over security haven't affected michael's view on the market. as the company prepares to celebrate 30 years in business. >> we've been doing it a long time. pretty organized and we know how to make our products lockly and we have a great team and pretty much that's the answer. we have great team of people working with us. >> reporter: it's a team effort that brings together the support of city leaders and as much sunshine and warm weather san francisco will provide along the water. and so this optimism we're hearing from small businesses, it is a trend that has been moving up over the last couple of years. that recent bank survey of both small and mid-sized banks saying that they felt good about the economy. it has gone up over the last two years.

reed, back to you. >> all right, shawn chitnis, thank you so much for that update. now let's take a live look outside on this tuesday morning. this is one of the favorite views. this is from the sutro cam and it's the jewel box of san francisco. shining in all its glory today. darren? and you know, the sun is shining all week here in the bay area. so i have zero complaints when it comes to the weather. >> well, that's good. that's good. we're going to make the most of that until like saturday. because then the rain is coming back. and there's a dramatic turn around in the weather coming just in time for the weekend. so i mean, to nicole's point we're on cruise control right now and from now through thursday, you don't have to think about this at all. today's going to be just like yesterday. tomorrow is going to be just like today. let me do a little comparison. look at today's daytime highs. pretty much right where you were yesterday. going to low 70s inland andwe'll be mid 60s through the bay and it will be windy at the coast. so expect those 40-mile an hour winds once again. if you are anywhere coast side, but for the rest of us it will be like 20-mile an

hour breeze. all right, that's the last two days. here's where we're going to be by the time we top out on friday. there's a lot more 80s that show up here now inland. friday, thursday and friday, really are the two warm days of the week. we're going to the low 80s in the north bay and let fit everybody else in here. see the temperatures for oakland will go to 75. 70-degree day in the city. friday is going to be really nice if you like sunny and warm. and now we're just going to switch these numbers out to show you how dramatically different these daytime highs will be by saturday. not only not doing 80s anymore but look at the inland valleys. lucky to be in the upper 60s. a dramatic change coming and you can see it on the temperatures for one thing. but what we have to start talking about is how much rain are we going to get out of this pattern because there's -- there is some growing confidence now that saturday we're going to have rain pretty much bay area-wide and the only question remains on exact totals but you should plan on rain for saturday. here's where that system is now. it's all the way out on other side of the pacific

request we can bring it forward to friday and we have pretty good agreement here at this point. but in order to track the direction this thing is going to go as we get to the weekend, two different models. first one; that shows us will get some rain out of this going into saturday. here's the other model and this is the one that we're kind of leaning towards. this one brings the system farther south and look what shows up as we go through friday and saturday. that looks like a -- like the storms of the -- previous winter did. it's not going to be super impactful like that. but it is going to be widespread rain we could get a half inch out of this. and if we color in the map on what some of the latest thinking is for rainfall totals, we're looking at anywhere from a half an inch in the north bay to maybe a quarter inch in the south bay. so this is not like the storms of winter where we're going to be concerned for significant impacts. but it is definitely going to be at little bit of whiplash. widespread rain and colder and we're going to be talking about snow in the sierra from this. that's in the next half hour because it's time to start thinking in

terms of oh, this could have an impact on travel. for people who need to get over the mountains. look at this 7 day here. 81 degrees wednesday, thursday friday you are still pretty much there. and then saturday, we go right back into oh, it's raining and we're in the low 60s. these are the inland numbers. that's as warm as you are going to be and the bay won't be all that different from this. more on this coming up in the next half hour guys. gianna? hey good morning. not so bad in some spots and of course we're monitoring some road closures not too far from the concord b.a.r.t. station. due to a building fire. we've got a live look coming up in just a minute and get you updated on that. in the meantime, the rest of the roadways are actually moving along pretty well for the most part. live look here at the bay bridge toll plaza. we're not tracking any brake lights or issues just yet. pretty quiet for tuesday morning. and at least on our main roadways. and bridges. which is good news. if you are headed through half-moon bay though, we're getting word of fog through there. just keep that in mind. zooming in on the south bait right now you can see traffic is certainly little bit not bad. in fact it's moving along pretty well as you

work northbound 101 and northbound 280 it's moving along with no delays or issues there. a nice ride in and around that area. all right and taking a look at traffic into the altamont pass, we are tracking a few brake lights for supercommuters. you know what to expect if you make the ride westbound 580 into the area near north flynn and grant line. few ballots there. 5:20. full circle moment for the giants' newest pi (♪♪) i'm getting vaccinated with pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia.

that to change. it's been nice. >> reporter: while there are familiar faces for him in the crowd, he also has hitting coach pat burrell to lean on. the former giants' slugger also attended bellarmine. >> i didn't know mitch obviously and really old. [ laughter ] but -- i know it's a big thing for him. it's big for me now even almost at 50 years old. just because there's so many people i know and associate with here and so i'm sure him in the middle of his career, to be able to come home and pitch here, what a great story. happy for him. >> well, it is a great story. because you know, he had the tommy john surgery his freshman year and a lot of time when you have a pitcher like that, having a major surgery like that, i know it's just a hinge and not like you are having a labrum surgery. but it can affect all the mechanics and clearly, he recovered quite well. i like how he brought up his mom in the yarn store. she's of korean descent and really excited to meet jung hoo lee. they talked on tuesday. i'm glad they met. >> what cool opportunity to come home and play for the team you rooted for your whole life.

i mean, that's really incredible. like i grew up in san diego. i got to work at station i grew up watching for multiple years and getting to do that kind of came full circle for me. i get you know what i mean? always coming home makes a difference. so. >> i'm home here. >> yes. >> bay area native. great to be able to talk about sports and news and all the things local. well, 5:26. a group of local students are turning their b.a.r.t. commute into a challenge. the speed it's time to get away

developing right now on cbs news bay area, contra costa fire crews are momming up following a major fire in concord overnight at the corner of sunset and east streets. this is a look at some video from earlier. and you can just see those flames shooting out of the roof there of this three story building. let's go live to the scene now where firefighters are still actively working as you can see they're there in the trees trying to contain any hotspots. making sure that those flames which were not seeing anymore, but don't act up again. now the flames broke out around10:00 p.m. last night. fire crews just flowed water here for over two and a half hours before the blaze was emptied. they confirmed no one was in the building at the time of the fire and thankfully, reported there were no injuries. gianna? yeah, but there are some street closures because of that. so let's zoom in on that

area. and give you kind of an idea of what to expect. and we're actually tracking some slow speeds on 242 now. maybe likely a lot of people using that as the alternate route. the closures affect grant street both directions from concord boulevard to park street and east street southbound from concord boulevard to sunset avenue, and then 1st street southbound from sunset avenue to sinclair avenue. these are very close to the b.a.r.t. station in concord as well. that will likely cause some congestion and our photographer on scene there says things are pretty crowded on the roadways in and around that area. so try to avoid it if you can. use surface streets and use willow pass up to highway 4 to around down to 242. bay bridge toll plaza, everything else is fairly quiet and business as usual. not seeing any delays or brake lights. all right. that's a look at the morning drive. let's get a check on the forecast and darren, it's been a little bit windy along the coast: yeah, it has. just talking about that a moment ago. and gianna, you were coast side are you coming

in from the coast actually each morning. reed is kind of close and you both have said it's been really windy lately. meanwhile nicole lives inland and she's like what are you talking about? that's going to keep going for the next few days and talk about that a bit coming up here in the visit if i have time. the first thing to show you is what is now the headline. a growing degree of confidence rain is coming back for the weekend. if you look at the 7 day, i think this jumps out right away. look at thursday. 81 degrees. friday, still near 80. and then look at saturday. right back down to 61 and raining. that also requires a deeper dive coming up in the complete forecast, we're getting close enough to the system now we can start getting a little more detail on it. and specifics are growing but there's your overall headline. expect things to stay pretty nice here for the next few days without any real dramatic changes and then by the weekend, it's going to feel a bit different around here. the wind for a moment. if we take a look at that on a closer view,

it's the coast. you can see the visualization here, 40-mile-per-hour gusts each afternoon going down the coast when they peak. see how it turns on there? we're going to do it again today. but if you are inland look at the colors and look at the numbers, their way lower. on the one hands this kind of classic for spring. on the other hand, there's a significant wind assist happening right now. just like the rainmaker coming our way for saturday. before that gets here several weak little systems out of the pacific that are just skirting by to the north and you can see them on the water vapor. there goes one and here comes another one and there'll be a few more after that. each time one of those passes, it's strengthening those winds down the coast. and it's going to go like that for about the next three days. and then more significant one gets here and gives us rain. we're going to talk about that one and more detail in the full forecast in a bit. for now guys, back to you. all right, thank you. the people of charlotte, north carolina waking up this morning to the headline of four officers shot and killed while an arrest warrant was being

served. officers approached that home suspect fired from a high powered rifle, and in the end, eight officers shot. three with lesser wounds and one in critical condition this morning. the violence ended after a three hour standoff. two arrested with charges expected by the end of the week as the fbi is aiding in the investigation. donald trump's hush money trial continues today in a manhattan courtroom. today, banker gary pharaoh will take the stand. he was the money man for trump's former lawyer michael cohen. you will remember cohen was instrumental in making a payment to adult film star stormy daniels to cover up the alleged affair with donald trump. robert f. kennedy jr. is qualified for the california ballot through the american independent party he says. california marks the fourth state where kennedy has officially gained ballot access. the others? michigan, utah, and hawaii. well, the community of half-moon bay stepping up to help farm workers have affordable housing and this issue really came to light and we remember this in the wake of those deadly mass shootings last year in the half-moon bay

area. today, the city's planning commission will vote on a new development you see it here behind me. if approved, senior farm workers would be able to move in to as many as 40 units. while the project has seen a lot of support and even some funding, there are some questions about whether the project is too big for half-moon bay's special heritage downtown district. >> here's the problem. this is great project and i want farm worker housing and i wrote many of these -- helped get many of the policies put through. the problem is, the -- i have problems with the way 2-102 is being interpreted in context with this new state law. >> half-moon bay's city manager tells us the city council generally supports projects like this. but they're waiting to see what comes out of today's planning commission meeting. nicole? big week of deadlines and decisions for anyone applying to college. and to add to the stress, those traying to get financial aid are experiencing

a number of issues on the free fafsa application. congress mandated changes to simplify the form like streamlining 103 questions down to just 20 questions. but unfortunately, the rollout has been plagued by glitches. and even preventing parents who are not u.s. citizens from completing the form. oakland's fremont high school is one of the students in limbo here. as len ramirez reports she has the acceptance letter but doesn't know if she has the money to pay for her dream school. >> reporter: mar leja is a senior at fremont high school? oakland with her sights set on entering college? just a few months. but she's one of millions of high school students across america who have been frustrated by snafus with the fafsa financial aid website. >> it was a long time where -- like i would try to log in and it would just reboot the whole system and log me right back

out and it happened like consistently. and it's like we would have to wait days and then we would have to wait weeks and weeks turned into months and. the just hard to -- like even try to start that application itself. >> reporter: a new fafsa website which was supposed to simplify the process rolled out to students in january. months behind schedule. and still not fully ready. >> the u.s. department of education was building an airplane while flying it to its destination and crashing it several times along the way. >> reporter: financial aid expert mark says system glitches affected four out of every ten students who applied for financial aid and could be why there are 2.6 million fewer fafsa applications so far this year than last. >> so the fafsa fiasco is not just affecting students and their families. it's also affecting colleges. some colleges are going to see a significant decline in college enrollment enough that it may force them to close permanently. >> reporter: fafsa problems are

now pushing into college decision day on may 1st. which the vast majority of colleges said is the deadline for accepted students to commit. >> it's crunch time because -- students should have been able to have their -- at this moment. they should have been able to choose between where they can go based on how much money they're going to get for the school. if they need to take out loans. right? put the rubber to the road for scholarships. >> reporter: for her, her plans are still up in the air. she was accepted to her first choice. southern university a&m in baton rouge but still doesn't knee if she'll get financial aid. >> i got to see them and like amazing things they had to offer but i don't know if i'll be able to go. so it's like -- up all the dreams and aspirations and like you have been working hard towards it and then it's like probably might not happen. not only -- even nothing that you did, but because you don't have the financial aid packages yet. >> reporter: for many students picking backup schools and community colleges is perhaps more important this year than ever.

>> thankfully, there's some sort of response here. california pushed back the deadline to apply for state aid a month to this thursday, may 2nd. you need to fill out the fafsa application before then to qualify for a cal grant. both ucs and cal states have tensioned their deadlines for students to commit to enrolling by at least two weeks to may 15th. g? >> that's good. if you are a regular b.a.r.t. commuter you probably know how much time it takes to get to and from work every single day. now throw in few delays and you could be commuting for hours. now imagine how long it would take to ride every b.a.r.t. train. we're talking every stop at every single station on every line. all in one day. well, it's turned into a fun social media challenge. itay hod introduces us to a group of uc berkeley students who are giving b.a.r.t. some positive pr and they may just land in the record books for it. >> reporter: for a lot of

commuters, getting on b.a.r.t. is a race against the clock but for these berkeley transit students, that daily rush became an actual race with a world record waiting for them at the finish line. >> the day of, just making sure all the trains are running on time. >> reporter: these two are part of a group of five friends who recently embarked on a high speed mission to hit every single b.a.r.t. station along every line. >> all right. >> reporter: their goal? to score a guinness world record for hitting all 50 stops in the shortest time possible. >> we start here in antioch. we're on ebart there and transfer to pittsburgh bay point and then turn around and took a red line train all the way down the millbrae. and finally took the train down to berryessa null /?txu san jose. all right, let's go. >> reporter: called speed running the trend has become increasingly popular with

people trying to conquer their transit systems in cities around the globe. >> i don't see it yet. >> reporter: there's no official guinness record for b.a.r.t.. yet. >> go visit all 50 b.a.r.t. stations. >> reporter: a last attempt by a lee lowe cal youtuber earlier this year put the unofficial record at five hours and 49 minutes. >> this is our train. >> reporter: which is why these berkeley students decided to trade their textbooks for transit maps and after months of planning, they made a run for it. >> the most important thing was the day of. making sure that we got all the required proof throughout the trip. >> reporter: that meant live streaming their entire trek. gathering signatures from witnesses, and taking photos of each station along the way. >> we had to, you know, step out of the train at some of them and run out on the platform and grab a photo real quick and hop on before the doors close again. >> reporter: all nearly same to a screeching hall halt when the single missed connection almost cost them the title. >> no! we missed it. >> reporter: the drama of it all even caught the eye of

b.a.r.t. officials. >> i happened to be just at home and i just popped on. >> reporter: alicia is the chief communication officer at b.a.r.t.. she says the moment she noticed the live stream, she had the give them a shout-out on social media. >> i right away messaged to them you know, when you are done, first, let's get you in front of our board of directors at a board meeting and we're going to congratulate you. >> go. go. >> reporter: their final time, five hours and 47 minutes. beating the unofficial record by two minutes. >> we did it. >> sometimes you just got to go out there and venture it and do like these things that are just like outside of what you would typically do. that's what makes it fun right? and that's kind of what life is about right. >> reporter: it's a reminder they say that even when life goes off the rails. >> i think that's it guys. >> reporter: you can always get back on track. >> signing off. >> all right, the students are now waiting on guinness world record for certification which

could take a few months. what a great story. and really what a fun thing to accomplish. >> yeah, just reminds you these young people all you young whipper snappers out there you give moe hope right? they seize opportunity and great story friend. >> it's pretty genius of them actually. it's not that hard to attain. they did have the missed connection which i'm sure you know, was a little bit nerve-wracking. but it's one of those world records that you could go back and do. and it would not take that much. so -- genius, put that on the college acceptance or on the application there. >> 5:42 in the morning. hefty fine for local company williams sonoma accused of misleading customers? we'll explain in this morning's money watch report. plus. ♪ ♪ well, more musical superstars are coming to the bay, billie eilish announcing her world tour and lucky for us, she's going to make a stop in our area. details when you can catch her in san jose, still ahead.

after improperly labeling products as made in the usa. according to the federal trade commission, the san francisco based company broke a 2020 ban on advertising foreign made products as american made. williams sonoma agreed to a settlement that requires them to pay nearly $3.2 million. the largest penalty ever in a made in the usa case. federal trade commission says a company that allegedly sold fraudulent n95 masks during the covid-19 pandemic must refund just over a million dollars to u.s. customers. regulators say video game accessory company razr and its affiliates marketed the mask without submitting it to federal agencies for testing or certification. tail could not be reached for comment. all right, let's take a look at our beautiful bay area from the top of the mark right now. good morning, everybody. there's your golden glow and it is such a beautiful, beautiful view there. 5:46 in the morning and we are lucky

enough to have darren peck joining us this morning. i'm really happy with the warm-up in the most immediate future. but you are saying the weekend once again keep the jacket ready. >> yes, we have to start with that. >> okay. >> because it's going to be a dramatic change by the weekend. and there's growing confidence in this now so i know jessica was talking about this possibility yesterday. show you what has now become a pretty dramatic looking 7 day forecast. here's what reed was talking about to start. and we'll go over this in a second. but the next three days you are on cruise control. we're going to warm up and it's going to be in the low 80s. if you are inland. stays that way through friday. and then all of a sudden, we get to saturday. and we go all the way back down into the 60s for daytime highs. and it's going to rain. like widespread rain coming back to the bay. there's growing confidence in this forecast now for this fairly dramatic turnaround. it's not going to be like a winter blockbuster storm. but it is certainly going to get your attention and it is going to mix things up. so we'll come back to the 7 day forecast again in a second. let me show you what the system looks like

in terms of details and timing if we want to find it we've got to get all the way out to the other side of the pacific. no surprise. but look by friday. and here's where there's pretty good agreement. in the long-range models. by friday we've got storm sitting right here off the coast. here's where the differences come in. first forecast model shows us we get graced by it and a little bit of rain on saturday and did you see that? a little bit of rain that came through. the other models is the one we think is probably more correct on that one. go a little slower here and come in for a closer look and watch as that system comes farther south and winds itself up and then delivers some fairly widespread rain throughout the day on saturday and yes, that is snow in the sierra. we're going to have to start talking about winter travel impacts from this one for saturday. so start thinking about this. we're getting the word out if you know someone who has to travel across i-80. over the mountains this weekend, that's the kind of thing that can really catch

a lot of people off-guard. as far as rainfall here, here's the latest thinking in terms of the amounts and totals. we could pick up on the high side, about a half inch of rain in the north bay. maybe about a quarter inch of rain everywhere else. we're talking about a system on saturday. it's tuesday morning and system where there has been maybe not the best agreement in the forecast models. up until now we're starting to see the agreements start to come into alignment a little more. so it is time to at least start putting some numbers on this. and come away with a generalized notion of plan on some rain. not going to be like the winter storms those blockbuster storms that came through. but it is certainly going to be different and it's going to have an impact on your weekend. we started out looking at the 7 day forecast for the inland microclimates. here's the 7 day for the bay now and it's that same story. it's cruise control through friday. and then saturday gets here. thankfully, if you take a look at what we've got inside sunday's tube, you are taking

a look at drier conditions so it looks like most of the rain is going in here. by the time we get to sunday that's drier for the second half of the weekend. all right, gianna, how's the drive look? that's a pretty significant dip in temperatures from friday to saturday. when that rain settles in. well, thankfully it's dry this morning. which is good news. we're not seeing a lot of brake lights or issues as you head on 880 or 101. which is some of our places where we're starting to see the busy conditions. in fact looks pretty good overall. now where we are tracking some brake lights and issues is the ride along highway 4ened westbound. it's getting slow this morning for commuters coming from pittsburg to bay point maybe connecting on the 242 and concord. there a building fire not too far from there near the concord b.a.r.t. station. off to the side there. there's some closures in and around there. so certainly might affect your drive especially heading to b.a.r.t.. pretty congested in and around that area. on the surface streets. so if you are headed through there, b.a.r.t. is on time. but just know you might see some extra cars out there on roadways and avoiding the area
