kron. 4 morning news at 6. >> good morning and thanks for joining us on a thursday. and i'm james, we're waking up this morning to mix conditions. i had a little wetness on the roads when i came in but wasn't actively raise its streets saying i'm not sure what going just a spritz. yeah. it's definitely at the tail end of that energy that we saw so much of last night. spots like marion county mount tam seeing well over an inch of rainfall over the past 24 hours. so it was good news for some of coastal mountains to see a little bit more moisture. this morning, though, it is definitely simmer down a whole lot. that's good news as you're leaving the house this morning. we're sitting right now in downtown san francisco. still a couple of misty spots out there, as you can see on satellite and radar, most of heaviest of rainfall and most widespread of rainfall has now moved out into the central valley and up into the sierra. still some energy to our north, though that will work its way down or direction today. going to be keeping a close eye on radar, making sure that if we do see any

pop-up showers will be the first to know about it. temperatures are in the 40's to 50's right now. oakland sitting at 53 degrees conquered at 48 degrees. tip around. 47. well, mountain view at 52. definitely cool. and we're not completely out of the woods as far as the rainfall goes. but generally skies will grow clear and dryers the day goes by with just a few isolated showers here and there throughout the day. i'll keep you updated in your full forecast rain. all right, fortunately we have an early morning fatality. it appears that a pedestrian was actually hit and killed. >> vehicle know this is on northbound 101. oakland road off-ramp. down in san jose's. you can see the back of here. looks like it's a few miles inland. if you are traveling this morning, you need to get around a 7 could be an option for you. also, you might want to take 85. you have options. and even 82. but right now avoiding 101. it looks like they're fluctuating between closing all lanes and having at least one lane open. but i would steer clear of 101 for

right now. again, northbound 1, 1, oakland road off-ramp. while this continues to go on after probably undergo that investigation. but 7. 85 82 other options for you this morning. let's also get a look at your bridges if you are going to be traveling this morning soon as we get past, this is a closer look at 101, a bridge under 10 minutes traveling into the city. so no major issues. but remember, it's been great. it's looking wet. 14 minutes on your san mateo bridge. richmond center fell bridge around 8 minutes and the golden gate bridge. 37 to the tolls. 19 minute morning ride during back to you. will you may feel the shift in the area because today is opening day for baseball. yeah, but a's fans are actually going to start off the season with a boycott as we've reported. and as you. >> i'm sure heard they're not too happy with the fact the teams plan to move to las vegas cloud forest. michael thomas is in oakland with the latest. good morning, michael. >> hey, good morning, everyone. that's right. lots of boycotts to be had with that baseball. oakland a's fans plan to pack out the parking lot rather than the

actual stadium this year. the oakland a's will they could park back in civil were not open up those parking lot. gates at the normal time. we normally do. they're going to later. so take a look. we've got video up on your screens. i can break it all down. now, last year we saw over 25,000 fans from the oakland a's show up to pack out oakland coliseum as a reversed boycott for the team's pending move to las vegas. and this year, organizers from the last dive bar in oakland. 68 plan to have a block party in the 80's parking lot. they're going to have live entertainment food and giveaways and the parking lot normally opens up about 4 hours before the game. but the oakland a's decided this year. well, that parking lots not going to open up until 2 hours before the game at around 5 o'clock. the game starts at 7 essentially throwing a wrench in the boycott planned and also costly a traffic jam because the coliseum sits right near 8.80. it's going to be 5 o'clock traffic hour. and in addition, keyshia cole, and singer is having a concert herself at the arena, which is

right next store. so oakland city officials have publicly asked the oakland a's to open up the gates earlier as traffic could be a safety concern. no word from the a's as of yet to making any tpchanges. and organizers for tonight's boycott say they do plan to show up and line up as early as possible. so back out here live, we did reach out to the oakland a's media team for a comment or the possibility of them hopefully opening up those gates earlier. but tonight, if you are over in that area, you can expect some traffic jams because people are going to be lining up to get into that parking lot. again, they're set to open a gate to 5 o'clock. the game starts at 707. well, this morning in oakland, michael thomas story. we'll send it back to you. >> it is my honor to introduce to you our new top police officer, chief floyd mitchell. >> and there you saw oakland, mayor sheng thao formally introducing the man she handpicked as the city's newest police chief oakland

>> job is to continue to do the work to satisfy those requirements. i'm going to sit down with the monitor and identify specifically what we need to do and how we need to do it to get to the end of road. >> well, mitchell swearing-in date will be sometime in the next 30 days. we'll let you know when they finally set an official date. >> time now 606, police in berkeley are investigating after a child was shot in the leg on tuesday night near the intersection of bone, our street and austin way right by cross strawberry creek park. there were several gunshots heard. and when police got there, that's when they found the child who had been shot. they didn't make any arrests. earlier this month. the city of la how found the body of a dead man. and that is the 5th homicide of the year there on march. 16th police were called to garnet circle. it was around midnight it turns out that there was a dead body

there. i don't think i could call it hopefully the majority that's gone now. john, good morning. yeah, it's definitely not as as it was last night. ms is a good word for it you to john in just a moment. but i'm gonna tell you about this accident. >> fortunately, we have a fatal traffic collision. this is northbound. 1, 1, oakland road and the backup is about 5 miles inland. so it's all the way back to to about tully road. so right now i'm telling people if you are out there traveling and driving, you need to hit 85 or 87 to navigate around the delays. then a silver lining. if there's anything in this, they have opened up all the lanes of along 101 right now in oakland road. however, the backup is still pretty bad, ok? so i would suggest not taking that staying away. we actually have a live look at the camera right now. currently, you can see the backup and all the red lights as people are inching along, trying their best to make their way. we'll put it up in just a moment. but if you are just waking up this morning, a fatality northbound, 1, one, oakland road and again, backed

up to at least tully road. so this is 5 miles of traffic. we do have a kron four's will tran in route their will is saying that he seen back up for miles and miles away. now, again, we do know this happened in the early morning hours and this has been an issue for a large portion of the morning here. so if you are waking up in the south bay, you want to stay away from 101, northbound. certainly there and opt for 85 87, much better options for you this morning. we'll be following this throughout the morning. right now. let's get a look at your other community of bridges. the 12 minute ride into the city right now. no major issues there, senator. it's just short of 14, 80 to 101, richmond center fell bridge around 9 and the golden gate bridge about 20 minutes now, john, it's super slick out there. so just people to drive a little safer. absolutely. that's the best advice after an evening of rainfall like we didn't have last night, especially up in marine county which saw. >> well over an inch of rainfall in many areas. so the golden gate bridge is indeed wet. just a good idea to give

yourself that extra time. so regardless of any backups, you're just not russian through the slick conditions where we're sitting right now, we do have that first line of showers having well cleared out of the bay. you can see the snow in the sierra still falling and some rain around fresno while the bay area is comparatively quiet right now, a couple of misty spots out there. but mother nature gave us a good dose of rainfall while we're sleeping really working with us on the timing of all of this. now i'm not ruling out the potential of an isolated shower popping up today, including the chance of even a roll of thunder for and east bay. this afternoon. most of us are going to come out today. pretty dry. but we do have that chance. so i'll be keeping an eye on the radar urging you to do so as well. generally getting drier and clear as the afternoon wears on. and today, truly a breather between last night's rain and what we have tomorrow, which is an even more significant system. rainfall pushes back in before you even get up tomorrow morning. we have a wet friday morning commute on tap just around the corner and a very

windy as well. expect the stormy day tomorrow. here's right around noontime and some of our heaviest of rainfall in our strongest of winds right there in the middle of the day, lingering into the evening to with isolated thunderstorm potential continuing on into saturday for some areas, especially early on rainfall tomorrow is going to amount to anywhere between an inch to around a half an inch depending on where you're will add up on a little bit more of that into saturday before generally drying out into sunday just in time for easter. we also have those winds to be concerned about tomorrow between 11:00am friday through 05:00am on saturday. wind advisories for upper elevations in coastal areas gusts as high is 52 even in excess of 60 miles per hour. so watch out for some downed trees, maybe even a few power outages because of that, the sierra not to be overlooked, getting more snowfall with a winter storm warning still in effect and snow continuing through specially early weekend. your best travel day is sunday. if

you're trying to get on the roads friday, please be experienced. ready to go with those chains and expecting delays and possible closures as we see additional feet of snowfall in those higher elevations, this low pressure area that's dover right into the region is sitting with us for now keeping us cooler than average in pretty unsettled for the last few days of march. but look at what we have just around the corner. long range forecast indicating the return of high pressure into next week. and that means that we do see warmer and drier weather around the corner. for now, we do have a brief break from the rain upper 50's to low 60's today. tomorrow our rainiest day of the forecast chance of thunderstorms on saturday and staying cool after that, it's pretty much all uphill by tuesday and wednesday of next week were back to the 70's and sunshine during james. thanks a lot. kron 4 is your local election headquarters and we're profiling the top challengers in the san francisco mayor's race. and this morning we look at the candidate who once sat in the mayor's seat for 6 months cropper stephen lynn.

>> sat down with mark farrell about what he plans to do if he gets the job back. over the past 5 years, i've seen our city crumbled candidate mark farrell, not mincing words over the problems he says are plaguing san francisco. san francisco used to be the greatest place in the world to raise family. >> today is not the same. people do not feel safe in their own neighborhoods, let alone downtown the conditions are streets have never been worse on our local economy has suffered as a result. you know, we are now the of jokes across our country. and that should not be the case. theo venture capitalist stepping back into the ring. >> with city politics where he previously served for 8 years first as district 2 supervisor, which includes the marina pacific heights, presidio heights and north of the panhandle. and serving 6 months as mayor after the death of ed lee and 2017. a key point farrell says that sets him apart from the competition. we don't have time for someone to come learn

on the job. we need someone's going hit the ground running on day one. if you are elected mayor, what do you plan to accomplish in your first 30 days? i do believe we need a new police chief. we have lost budget dollars and we can't recruit. >> police officers. so we need a change in leadership promoting what he describes as a 0 tolerance policy on crime while promising to shield the city's public safety services from budget cuts. my budget plan. >> this year, include the addition of 250 new officers. we need to recruit additional officers transfer officers. we need to bring reppert hard officers. >> we also need to flood our police academy with new classes. then we start to get to work on local economic issues. i fully believe we need. we need to use tax incentives to bring employers back to the downtown core. my background includes over 20 years in the private sector. i know what it is to make payroll. i know what it is to see. companies do well and suffer. adding he'll clear all tent encampments in the city within a year as mayor before.

>> i took out all over large tent encampments within 6 months. if elected mayor again, i will do it again. i asked farrell if he's in favor of encampment sweeps given the city's ongoing legal battles, i would characterize sweeps. we treat these individuals with respect with compassion. we offer them shelter and housing. but if they refused our offer services, we will not make it convenient for them. no one is getting better by sleeping in tents and night on the streets of san francisco. this has to stop. this challenge are coming out of the gates swinging. look, san francisco is suffering and what we don't have is any vision out of city hall right now. so as mayor london breed fit to be mayor in 2025, yes or no, no. mayor breed has a great personal story. no doubt about that. but right now, she also has a track record. 6 years of failed leadership inside of city hall. san francisco needs a reboot in san francisco. stephanie lin kron. 4 news. its 6.24. and coming up, beachgoers are
