temperatures right now. >> we're going to see another warm day, basically as we set up the town, what will watch as breezy conditions on the coast. you can see that santa rosa, 15 miles per hour. but wind gusts could hit up to 30 to 40 miles per hour. i'm gonna break that down for you. plus, the potential for rain. when does that happen? i have all those answers coming up in less than 20 minutes. rain arrive. ready. thanks to that. all right. we do have a hot spot. this is on the san mateo bridge to an accident. 92 westbound there, slowing things down. we're at 42 minutes as you're heading across towards the peninsula. again, this has been in place for about 20 minutes now. we're keeping a close eye on things. there are still trying to get that cleared off the bridge of for now. it's going to slow you down a bit. you might want to take the dumbarton bridge, the bay bridge right now. no accidents, but the meter lights are on to about. 21 minutes traveling from the maze to that fremont street exit. richmond center fell bridge. but you about 13 minutes. don't see any major issues here. >> and if you are taking bart is a 20 minute delay on the various a line in the dublin richmond in daly, city

court appearance. he did not enter a plea but was appointed 2 private attorneys to handle his defense. the judge also granted prosecutors request to hold joe without bail. 7 counts of murder. we have not had in san mateo county before. a case with one instance of 7 murders that once he is not. a citizen of this country. there's plenty of motive to run for that reason. it was to me a very straightforward and simple request for no bail. the da confirm zhao did make statements to sheriff's deputies that he used a ruger semiautomatic pistol. the note was found in his car and that he believes he knows the motive for what authorities have called workplace violence. but he would not elaborate nor would he say if the victims were targeted because he doesn't want the case moved out of the county due to pretrial publicity. he also had a message for victims.ufamilies. i have been my career dealt with many, many, many families who have suffered horrible losses on

that line. and so i will have not walked in their shoes. i certainly have learned of their shoes. >> and i would say to them that the one thing they can count on is that the san mateo county district attorney's office will do everything in its power, working with the sheriff's office to make sure that justice is done here and that the right outcome occurs and we will be talking to them. >> that was dan kerman reporting. we will return to court on february. 16th. well, investigators >> have revealed now the names of the 7 people killed in that mass shooting. we put them up on the screen. the 5 men and 2 women were all migrant farmers of asian and hispanic dissent. >> the farmworker outreach team, a loss that has been in touch with the victim's family says it's going to take some time before they're ready to come forward and share their memories. but we are hearing from people who knew some of the victims with kron four's will tran standing by once again in half moon bay. >> with that angle to this story, well, >> people are stopping by this morning. james, taking pictures. i just saw a woman

just jump out of her car. take the picture. the memorial right behind me as it continues to grow. you can see the candles still burning. some candles blew out because of the windy conditions here. but nonetheless, you get a feel of what's going on. look at the volume of flowers. this is grown most certainly since yesterday. i was here 24 hours ago. you didn't see flowers on top of flowers, but now you do. and you can see all those signs just right there on the ground. you don't even have to read the language or even speak the language. you know what it means. it means heartbreak. let me show you some video of people arriving throughout the day and they have been showing up, of course, for the past couple of days. this is right across the street from city hall about a mile and a half away from crime scene number one. and just right down the road from massacre site. number 2, that's where 7 people were killed on monday afternoon. one person still in the hospital this morning. the

good news is that person is in stable condition. you know some of them actually lived in half moon bay for decades. we talked about them being farm workers and migrants. but there was some there were some i should say. there were some that been here for decades and they were known to the community. in fact, we've got a chance to talk to a friend of one of the victims. here's sarah stinson translating for us. >> i remember him because he would walk his dog every morning and now his dog is left alone without him. it seems he's gone too soon. he was 50 years old. so it's devastating. she continued to say i'm still in a state of shock because i could not believe this would happen this close to my home and my friends and family. >> and we want to show you live pictures once again. you can see the candles still burning and we told you about the names of the victims

yesterday that really hit home. and you can see here is a candle burning with one of the victims names. we believe that's one of the victims still in the hospital this morning again in stable condition. and this if it wasn't bad enough and horrific enough guys, a lot of people, a lot of these families are scrambling to try to find money because many of them are not naturally from america and they want to go back home to be buried and the costs of that 20 to 25 $1000. each. thanks a lot. we'll. >> it is 707. the mayor of half moon bay says that the city at this point is planning a vigil and a service to honor those killed. the vigils going to take place at the mac dutra plaza tomorrow morning or tomorrow night at 5. the mayor says city streets might have to be closed to make room for the crowds will have to wait and see. then next tuesday afternoon at 4, there's going to be a faith service at the

racial slurs will not be tolerated. whether our students are in school or elsewhere. we are responsible for creating safe and welcoming spaces. both that srv and when we are guests to other schools. now there's no mention as to what exactly was said or the race of that student that was taking the free throw shot over. the principal does go on to say they are encouraging parents to discuss the damaging slurs of biased language, such as quote the n word. so we can only assume you know what word was used. we do not know exactly the race of the student that was taking that shot. the administration and the principal say that, you know, disciplinary actions are being but they have not said exactly what disciplinary actions are being taken. so on this path, lots of walker's lot of joggers. nobody wants to go on camera, but i've got in the mix him out of reaction when it comes to people hearing about it. some parents say they got that information last night. they were really surprised. another woman says she's lived in this area for years and she's not surprised

because things like that happen all the time. so do with that information, what you will. but really just a mixed students are set to, you know, get your school within the next. our so on with we'll talk to them and see what people's thoughts are. but for now, send it back to you guys in the studio in san francisco. okay. thanks a lot for the update, michael. all right. it is 7.12. we're going to take a quick break. but coming up next on kron 4 morning news, more homes in renton now red tag because of >> the ground sliding away. we'll tell you what the city is doing to fix the problem and help the families impacted. >> and taking a look at everything happening in your weather center. we have record breaking highs this week, but next week we're going to have freezing to break all that down for coming up right after the break. that's right. and we are tracking a hot spot on the san mateo bridge and we have a 20 minute delay on the life apart in the richmond, a daly city directions.

basically we need to enjoy today and we need to enjoy enjoy tomorrow. once we get past the fog. so yesterday we actually did break records. so ffo hit 69. so you broke a record from 2011 now. santa rosa, you tied a record at 72. we tied that record from 1936. so it's just saying, hey, it was hot. what about today? will santa rosa still looking at temperatures of 72? take a look at your average should be 59. this is january concord. you're looking at 69. your average is 58 and even san francisco. your average is 58. but we're looking at 65 so what i'm saying is we have above average temperatures, we have this high pressure system. we also have these onshore winds. i think it could be upper level bringing us warmer temperatures, at least for the rest of the week. but change. we're going to talk about it. current wind shows you yes to the north santa rosa, 15 miles per hour nap. but we're looking at 12, but it's really going to those upper level winds with wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour in petaluma santa rosa. you can see that. so up to the

north, you're going to see those breezy conditions. so you may actually wake up to whistling sound. you really start to hear the wind whistle when you hit 31 miles per hour. when you hit 46, that's when it's really hard to walk. and now these are upper-level winds. so we're not going to have that issue. but still kind of give you context what's going on up and the atmosphere futurecast showing you. it's dry today. that's the good news. but with the potential for rain on sunday, i think it's going to be less than a 10th of an inch. at least european models are showing that. but it kind of sets up the tone that, yeah, it's going to get wet and things are changing. so think about it. some places today are going to hit 72. but by sunday, we're looking at 49 those overnight. teaperatures at 32. so freezing temperatures and we're going to see those overnight lows at 28 on monday. so when i guess what i'm saying is it really is going to be a roller coaster. you better prepare. enjoy today for sure. i make sure you get outside and enjoy it. like brittany said, we still have the hot spot on the san mateo bridge 80 to 101, about 39 minutes. traveling across towards the peninsula. cause of an accident. there.

>> 7.44 at the forty-niners are down just 3 days away from taking low. let's change that. what they're one game away from the super bowl right there. i like that. that just got past the eagles here in the nfc championship game. >> there's no doubt this is yes, the toughest competition, the niners the face. but if you ask the team, there's no doubt they're going to win from 4 sports director jason dumas says more. >> the niners there on the practice field for the first time this week. >> implementing that game plan for their showdown with the eagles, both elijah mitchell and christian mccaffrey. and this practice don't be alarmed. they should be good to go for sunday. now a lot has been made about the eagles home crowd and that home-field advantage in philly that they'll have on sunday night to remember the niners. they had some success there last season. they won that game 17

to 11. and i was there. guess what the eagles rallied late in that game. they put up a good amount of points in the 4th quarter and that is when kyle shanahan saw some glimpses of what gulls quarterback jalen hurts, could become. >> he's got more consistent and you can see in that game, the ability that he has and what he is close to doing a number of times and he made some big throws in that game. we contained him fairly well. just watching this year hearing about it. you know, borderline nfl mvp and then turn in the film on his last 2 days. he's just like how he was with potential and now he's doing it down in down out, obviously is dynamic. playmaker always has been, but using his legs to create plays you know, just launching the ball downfield to the guys who can go in, go up and make i think this was kind of >> elevated him into being all pro quarterback. >> all right. that's your look at sports. back to you guys. all right. thank you, jason. so that's the forty-niners covered. let's talk basketball. the warriors beat the memphis grizzlies. it was a nail-biter, though, and it.

came to an end with steph curry getting kicked out. you have to just over a minute to go in the game. warriors up by 2 and steph curry, as you can see here, getting ejected. he was argue with the rest. what are you talking about? well, he was ejected for throwing his mouthpiece into the seats out of frustration. apparently he wasn't too happy with jordan poole who took a jump shot and missed when he was wide open. the was you think he was trying to say like it flew out of my lift and yeah, i he still got kicked out. but in the end, the warriors. >> did when they finish the game without steph on the court. 4th quarter, less than 3 seconds left warriors inbound the ball to none other than jordan poole. and he put it up the layup themself so. yeah, you know what? now that that that does the trick one, 20, the they want winning heals a lot of things feels all were good that we're good.

look at other here. you know, they keep doing that number in baseball. they do the show the and the guy no, the shoulder and a dislocated. absolutely. shouldn't do that. be careful to my mother. i sound like all right. let's get over to the senate standing by with the forecast the shoulder. but coming out here with this forecast, that's for sure. >> the good news is that for the most part, it is quiet. we're going to see a lot like yesterday. so those beautiful temperatures. but what i am actually going to watch strong, gusty winds. we have potential to break records. we broke records yesterday. it's going to be a warm day tomorrow. it's going to be a warm day, but i think we could have a foggy start to make sure wake up with us so we can get you to work on time and somewhat stress free. looking ahead, rain could be on the way. but big cool down headed our way. we have kind of a roller coaster. so again, futurecast for showing today, it's going to be dry tomorrow. it's going to be foggy and dry. but as we roll into the weekend on sunday, you can see radar showing a system coming from the north headed our way. so i think we're going to have less than a 10th of an inch. but we could see some rain on sunday, maybe even monday. but we're also going to see lows

into 32 degrees. so had to looking out for the potential of black ice. as you start your monday morning. so we have a lot to enjoy today because it's going to get a little tricky a little bit later on conditions right now. looking great. i just check your phone cast. pall cast tomorrow shows you around 6.15, right there at rush hour, right near half moon bay, san francisco, even up to the north, places like santa rosa. you can see it's going to be foggy as i fast for that, you can see at 10, 15 is going to be foggy. can see oakland also hayward's. we're going to see those foggy conditions as we endure work week. we have this high pressure system. we also have these offshore winds up or offshore winds bringing us those warmer temperatures. yesterday we broke records, but really it says wind conditions will continue to update you on throughout the day. santa rosa, we're looking at 15 miles per hour. you can see on the coast. we're going to be in the teens as well. and that's going to be the theme now. these warmer temperatures going to break records. probably that's what we're aiming for. santa rosa, your average is 59 today. 72

again, we're going to see those warmer temperatures. san francisco, your average is 58. we could see 65 today. and that's looking like it's going to the story for the majority of the area. so basically we have those above average temperatures. and this is where the story kind of gets interesting you can see is we're looking at for some places 70's, but the average 66. but on sunday with the potential for showers, we're going from a 70 in some places to 49 and those freezing temperatures as low as a 32, even on monday, we have those freezing temperatures of 28 rain. i always say when we have these kind of conditions next week as we start your work week, what will be looking for is black ice, which as you know, as dangerous as folks make their way into work. yeah, everybody just definitely want to slow down as traveling. but if you're taking bar, you have a major delay on the various alive because of equipment issues going on there. so you might want to leave out a lot earlier, but a bar today or maybe take another line because they're having issues on that one. >> traveling into the city right now. 24 minutes, the meteor lights are on. so that's been slowing us down. we had an accident in the last
