9-1-1, dispatch center. the computer system that integral to dispatching emergency service personnel went down. what happened this morning is we had it what we call a cad outage where we had a failure, had our computer aided dispatch went san francisco's computer, aided dispatch system or cad allows those taking 9-1-1. calls to take incoming information into a computer which police and fire dispatchers in another part of the 9-1-1 center. can see it and send help immediately when the system went down at 05:00am. that automatic communication had to be done manually, meaning notes had to be written down and then physically handed to the appropriate dispatcher to send help and something like this happens. it's all hands on deck. so we bring people out of key. why we bring our supervisors on the floor. whoever needs you know, jump in. >> we have runners, you know, we it's a it's a building with a lot of people working in it. so when we have the scenario, we just bring in a few extra

strongly tomorrow. as we look live here at the golden gate bridge, see the flag. they're starting to go. yeah. and lawrence, those those clouds look really foreboding. yeah, they do. those are firmly a weak cold front now sliding into the state. that's going to start heading further south overnight tonight. and i think that's where may get a couple raindrops overnight tonight into tomorrow morning and well, be prepared for that on and off throughout the day. not going to be a rain out, but something want to watch out for out of half moon bay right now. here's a look. just a couple surfers battling out in the water out there, even with the cool temperatures in the clouds and the breeze there. now, i think it's windy by tomorrow afternoon along the coastline, especially temperatures out the door, 60 degrees in san francisco. 61 in oakland. 65 in san jose. 60 in lemore 65 in concord and 65 degrees. in santa rosa and active weather pattern right now. we've got another cold front making its way in the pacific northwest in the southern part of that, starting to track a little further south now into northern california. and there you go. you can see some pop-up most near santa rosa

right now, a chance of some showers popping up there as well. but you see mostly activity for the north toward reading in chico, but that it's are going to be sliding down throughout the night tonight and tomorrow morning to right now dry. the winds continuing around the bay area. but overnight tonight, we're going to see some of that moisture work its way toward the bay area. so not a rainout, but certainly a chance of a couple of scattered showers. so late season, a cold front dropping in the bay area going to start to fall apart as we get move through and as it goes by on the backside of that, we're going to see some windy conditions. there may be 2030, plus mile an hour gusts around the bay area, especially on the coast side through some of the mountain gaps in san bruno gap going to probably very gusty tomorrow may be actually causing some delays there at temperatures. yeah, they're going to stay on the cool side. 59 degrees in san francisco for a high 65 degrees in oakland. you're looking about 65 degrees in san jose with some partly cloudy skies, not as much chance of a shower or 2 in the south bay, but likely along the coastline and in parts of the north bay over the next

couple of days, i think we've done with the chances of rain on friday will dry out warming up over the weekend with some of those temperatures. the warmer spots headed up in the 70's. and if you aren't well in the most popular sport in the country offers up fresh talent, people take notice in the nfl draft has become a huge deal. 9 or 7 pick in the first round raiders, 7 pick in the first round. and there's this kid from napa. this tight end who is expected to go high. all eyes are on him. kron four's. erin wilson joins us now with more on that yeah, we've got our eyes everywhere right now. actually, kayla wills. well, williams just hit taken is the first pick to the chicago bears. no surprise there. >> of course, other than the fact that he has just gotten the biggest payday of his life. i'm sure. but that being said, the nfl draft is officially underway. and although the niners don't have are super high pick, they do have a first-round pick for the first time in a few years. that round pick is at 31 right now as it stands currently.

but things could change. as we all know, things could change because deals can be made in. they were speaking about possibility of a deal when it came to deebo samuel and brandon aiyuk. so obviously. things have gotten even more interesting with that being said, because with the niners entertaining the conversation about deals are both deebo and i you to move up in the draft. >> they wanted to move up as far the top 10 possibly now they said they would have to be blown away by deebo deal in order to deal depot. and of course i you that's a conversation in and of itself. now you see him there. he was pivotal for the super bowl last season. he was pivotal for the playoffs altogether for the niners last season. now that being said. has obviously expressed his interest in being anywhere where he can get a championship. and now considering that they would have to pay brock purdy after this coming season. in addition to having to bait guys like deebo samuel, if he's not built tonight, joy skill and christian mccaffrey

being able to afford what he's presents challenges for the niners. now that said they are expected to go for low-cost field wide receiver to add to the mix. if they make no move at point, they have not so possible. peace could include xavier le get out of south carolina a stocky or white out with versatility. similar to i you he's 6, 1, 221 pounds. but then you've got this guy name ad mitchell coming at a texas who actually 2 national championships with georgia before transferring to texas where his inability to snack. and if it passes, will that made him a standout there? but then you've got guys like brian thomas out of issue and xavier worthy. another longhorn out of texas, 5.11, one 65 who also been floated around is possible white out that the niners could be taking in 31st. pick. >> it's it is they could be looking to trade deals when it comes to iu gm. john lynch did earlier this week that that's the opposite of what they're actually hoping for when it comes to be a take. a listen.

>> you know, i know a couple years ago there was a lot of talk about another receiver deebo and i said the same thing. but with b a, you know, be a i've i've communicated on a couple occasions on many occasions are wishing our wish is that he's here and part of the niners for the rest of his career. you know, we're working through that you know, as such, you know, i was a player once and i never like my business being out in the public. and so i'm going to respect that. i'm not going to speak for their side. can say we're having good talks and i'm just going to leave it at that will focus on the draft here today. >> now, speaking of possibly being taken in the top 10, we have an app and native that went to napa high school. talk about brock bowers. i know we were taught is they're they're going behind as a georgia bulldog would definitely lived up to the name that they've been holding the last 2. yeah, we like our brock's. yeah. >> possible toxin. so far

they're projecting that he will most likely go to the gits. however, there have been some talks from mohseni and a few other espn analyst. it sean mcvay wants in on bowers so they would have to make some moves to make that happen because they don't have a first-round pick. and then the raiders are what their team here and hope they're hoping for a quarterback. i soon i think where is broad powers that it a really skilled tightened. they don't usually that high but could possibly take them because of how skilled he actually is. he's been on the nfl prospect lists for how long? i mean, it's it's it's what so i think even jason, tell me a sophomore year when he spoke to highlight reel that he is the highlight real way happen. so a lot of most happening today as we know, draft days. always kay. oh, the 1000 people showing up to watch it get him in and hyping them up. if you look at
