>> good morning. and thanks for waking up with us on a thursday. i'm sorry and i'm james. we've got some mixed conditions this morning. we see nice conditions behind us here at the golden gate yeah, as you might be, sunday might be raining depending on where we are right now, john, yet quite the variety this morning, some of us are sitting in nothing but the sign and others have just seen some pretty good shower activity rolling overhead specially if you just d4ove across the san mateo bridge. this is what we've got a little bit further north in the east bay, from the berkeley hills skies here looking very inviting. now, if you were to be a little bit further southward, more so down towards hayward and fremont. and that's where you're looking at some of our rainfall currently. and this is impacting stretches of 6 ad as well as 5.80, in the east bay and of course 80 as well. dumbarton bridge releasing a coming down as did the san mateo bridge still wet. but you're starting to see the intensity easing up a little bit. redwood city up to san mateo and over to happen. bay on 92. all very wet right now. watch that travel up and down the peninsula on 101. as well

as on 2.80, currently. now, most of us are going to come out of today, actually looking pretty dry. the showers are going to be really spotty and few and far between a testament to that is just how sunny it is for the rest of us right now. 40's to 50's for our current temperatures. and later on today will reach the low 60's rain. all right on the year. that will it coming down on the san mateo bridge right now. as you can see. >> courage and everybody. if you're traveling there, just give yourself some extra time. also be mindful dunbar bridge right next to that. so they're probably getting some rain as well. 17 minutes into the city. we had some earlier hazards all clear now, which is over a footbridge around 13 minutes and the golden gate bridge. 37 of the tolls solid 30 minutes started days. back to you. thanks. allies, 901. and it is opening day for baseball, which is exciting for fans of san francisco giants. they're not home right now. the opening of san diego, they'll be home. april yes. >> opening at home, though, is the a's. although the fans are going to be showing up there at the stadium won't necessarily be rooting on the

ownership of the team. they're pretty upset that. >> they're going move to yeah, and they're trying to take a stand with this boycott crawford's michael thomas is live in oakland with what's going to happen today. michael. >> hey, good morning, everyone. that's right. lots of baseball to be had on this opening day of 2024. and here in the city of oakland, there's going to be a lot of boycotting as oakland a's fans are still upset that the team is heading to vegas. so instead of packing up the stadium, they plan on packing up the parking lot. and officials with the oakland team say, well, that's fine, but we're not going to open up those parking lot gates at the same time. we normally do it. last year. over 25,000 fans showed up to the oakland coliseum on opening day to pack it out as a reverse boycott for the team's pending move to las vegas. >> and this year, organizers from the last dive in the oakland 68 plan to boycott by having a block party in parking lot which normally opens up for hours before the game. but the oakland a's decided this year the parking lot gates won't open up until 2 hours before the game, which

is 5 o'clock rush hour. organizers like brian, tell me this doesn't come as a surprise anticipated. >> and there do something right to try to thwart the efforts, the boycott and what better way to do so then open the gate just prior to the game. only 2 hours before, you know, it's funny because they've never done that before. oakland city officials have publicly asked the oakland a's to open up the gates earlier as the major traffic jam at the coliseum, which is near 8.80. >> could be a safety concern. not to mention singer-songwriter kesha. kohl's also hosting a concert at the arena next or thousands upon thousands of cars trying to get in the stadium all at the same time. >> it's it's going to be a huge public safety risk at this time. we hope that the a's and we days to open it sooner. officials from the a's have yet to make any changes regarding the gate times opening and boycott organizers say all their social media request for a time change have been ignored. >> now back out here live, we did reach out to the media team with the oakland a's. we

have yet to hear anything back. so the best advice i have is if you're heading towards the oakland coliseum or near 80, you may be jam packed, especially around 5 o'clock tonight. and he also tells me people plan to be start heading out, lighting up in cars by about noon today at the very latest here in oakland, michael thomas story. james, we'll send it back to you. >> it is my honor to introduce to you our new top police officer, chief floyd mitchell. >> and with that oakland mayor sheng thao formally introduce the man she handpicked to be the city's new police chief floyd mitchell spoke yesterday about his plans to build public trust and create a safer community. >> just really going to be me getting my getting here, getting on the ground and getting out to me. everyone here getting to know who my council members are getting to know the police department and where we can get better and how we go about getting better. you want to make oakland police department be

the employer of choice for the bay area. you want your officers know that they're going to be supported. and and that you're going to take care of them both from a benefit standpoint. but you're also going to see them as a person. >> lofty goals. it will take some work to get there among his top priorities, he says, is getting crime down, which continues to plague oakland and the police department is still under control of that federal monitor because of the writers case for more than 20 years ago where officers were caught planting evidence. mitchell says putting changes in place to get out from under that federal monitor is key. >> 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. >> mitchell's swearing-in date will be sometime in the next 30 days. we'll let you know when they pick an exact date. >> police in berkeley are

have a couple of months before they come up with the final presentation in june. well, lots going on simply because they are not pulling in the money that they used to. and if they cannot make it work, then the santa clara county board of education will step in and they ultimately will have to make that decision. back to all right. thanks a lot. well. >> 909 is the time. and starting monday, minimum wage for fast-food workers in california will go up to $20 an hour. and while that is something worth celebrating for many, its triggering fears as well of job cuts for some pizza hut and roundtable. each laid off more than 10,000 delivery drivers. chipotle says it will be raising its prices to try comply with this new minimum wage. d'elia vargas works at mcdonald's in oakland is what she had to say. >> and i mean, that seems to sum right now one hour gets ca a but we do know at the next week it will be more hours.
