department there. he spent 25 years before becoming the police chief in temple, texas. then most recently lubbock, texas, he parted ways with the lubbock, texas last september. after taking the heat for 9-1-1, calls going unanswered, which has been an issue here in the city of oakland when community members were asked about him being hired, they tell us that the new chief has a lot on his shoulders as reports show right now, the city of oakland has already had more than a dozen murders this year with other crime statistics showing that robberies are up more than 34% from last year with the majority happening at gunpoint. we did speak with oakland, mayor sheng thao recently nast her exactly how the process went in, hiring him. and the reason why he was picked. take a listen. >> for me, she floyd mitchell, really it and, you know, showed at his proven leadership through all of the results that he's been able to do in lebec in also and in the other cities that he was chief however, at theaend of the day, you know, i do believe that this is a great pairing

with my public safety personnel. and yet again, it's never just one person. it's always 18. and so making sure that we have this missing puzzle piece so important and i'm so excited that we finally have a team to move forward. >> now, some may question if chief michel is ready to take on the city of oakland, given that it's a larger size area than his past. however, to piggyback off of what mayor sheng thao said, did speak with the president of 100 black men of west texas that worked with mitchell when he served as a levick chief. there tells us his experience will show and that he holds people accountable when needed. now back out here live, that press conference is set to happen later this morning. it's then we hope to hear from both the mayor and him on with the plans. maybe to kind of get the crime in oakland down in the plant. they also have for the city overall. it's a very latest reporting live in oakland and michael thomas will send it back to live in the right. thank you. we'll check in with you later. michael.

according to supervisor, aaron peskin that he introduced the measure earlier this month. that said you can build, but it cannot be a huge luxury tower. they don't want to turn it into beach front like miami beach. they want to keep the historic charm of that particular area and other areas in san francisco, mayor breed says san francisco desperately needs housing about 82,000 units from now until 2031. she the toad, the measure and then late last night to supervisors overrode the measure, basically resetting the clock. going back to what supervisor peskin initially introduced. so what's going to happen is mayor breed. she can still look around in certain areas. she is not happy. >> with the overriding over veto saying it is a setback for san francisco, a city that desperately needs housing and has need housing for decades.

a slow mover. so let's give you a little extra time to get up to this year if you want to do so this morning before this afternoon into evening, snow will really start to pick up up there. as for the bay area, you can see that our rainfall is well to the north of us. still still several hours away. so we do have a nice dry morning commute. your drive to work unaffected by any rain. we will see some late morning. very light sprinkles for the north bay, mostly into the afternoon. some light sprinkles for the rest of us. rainfall picks up towards and after the evening commute tonight and overnight hours tonight is when we're going to see our heaviest dose of rainfall from this latest system. some of it will linger into tomorrow morning for your morning commute on thursday. expect some wet spots out there thursday afternoon actually dries out pretty nicely chance of an isolated thunderstorm. but overall, some good peeks of sunshine. this first round of rain anywhere between a quarter to a half. an inch of rainfall expected. we're going to add a lot more of that on into friday. our rainiest day of the forecast, as i mentioned saturday is improved but a chance of isolated

thunderstorms. my kit in your way, from time to time. as for the sierra winter storm warning is in effect starting at 11:00am today through 11:00am on thursday in. this is because of the feet of snowfall that is set to be piling up up there the days to come. you can see areas like donner summit in that range of a foot and a half to even 2 feet of snowfall. and even some snowfall up in the lake county as well. definitely an active weekend. so here's what you got to know as we do work our way into it. snow level will continue to lower into the weekend as low as 3500 feet. that's well down into the foothills. and we are going to see that one to 2 feet of snowfall. if those upper elevations above 5,000 feet resulting in some delays, definitely some chain controls. also some gusty winds, too. and most of this impact will be on friday into early saturday. today's daytime highs going to be nice and comfortable for the bay still holding on to some 60's temperatures will slide downwards into the weekend. friday is the day to stay indoors. saturday is kind of a

mixed bag chance of thunderstorms but better conditions. by sunday. the worst thing that we have to worry about for easter, it's actually just some fairly strong winds to close out the weekend. great. all right, john, thank you for that. are starting off like this morning. >> long on driving along the peninsula. 29 minutes. 85 in menlo park. well, 2, 80 82 into 37 still making really good time. the bay bridge looks like drive times are going up. last time i checked, did see an accident or has it there. but it could be a hazard on reported drive times at about 30 minutes right now, typically are still under 20. so we'll keep a close eye on that. 14 minutes on the san mateo bridge, 80 to 101, t cell. down to 37. 26 minutes. smooth sailing along 88 in 80's oakland. also 5.80, livermore looking good and 80 in the east bay clocking out towards the maze. a little slow richmond and berkeley. but other than that looks good. 20 minute ride reaches back to you. thank you. 6. today. the hunters play tennis
