morning bone and then it time in oakland. wow. >> well, let's go right to steve paulson with the latest on your weather. >> well, this rain is moving south to you're east, probably nothing. if you're north, very little. but if you're about marin county south, it is coming down here for some, especially around san jose, the almaden valley, maybe your backyard as well, but this line has been stretching from about santa cruz mountains, san jose, and been lifting along the peninsula, of course, along skyline as well as san mateo coast now lifting northward, san pablo bay. and look at this line. there's been some moderate to heavy rain. some of the forecast models have really upped the totals here for today. so when it rains, it pours. and if you're stuck in that, it's coming down pretty good here. cloudy, cool morning rain south to north. mostly cloudy. rain. heaviest will be south south of san francisco. oakland but 60s on the temps. all right sal is here. he sees some rain out there i do steve i do see from

our cameras here on the golden gate bridge some pretty heavy rainúthe last few minutes. >> i can show it to you now, if you see it's not really affecting traffic. it's not really windy, but the wet weather is there. it's a rainy commute, no doubt about it. this is a look at the bay bridge toll because it's not raining where you are, it's probably wet anyway, you should give yourself a little extra time. we've had a couple of issues, especially earlier in the morning with cars running into walls and guardrails and each other. when the wet weather it's a little better. now the speeds are slower. look at that south bay commute. that's it's a little early for it to be this slow, and that's partially due to earlier crashes. 701 let's go back to the desk okay, sal. >> thank you. well, right now in hayward, a police investigatione officer was injured in a crash while pursuing burglary suspects. ktvu s bailey o'carroll, you're already there. so what do you know so far?

>> dave. good morning. that's right. we are here on the scene. i do want to move right out of the way so you can take a good look at what is going on behind me. you can see right now some firefighters standing there. we do know that there was a spburglary, as dave just mentioned, a multiple armed suspects, were doing just that, right? burglarizing a, some sort of a business. an officer suspects. that is when thathose officer crashed the car. there was a fire hydrant right here. that was, i would say, shooting up about 30ft or so into the air. they just got that completely shut off within the last t5 seconds or so. right beforeúwe came on to the air. but there are still a whole lot of standing water out there. at one point it was up to the shins of some of these firefighters who were working to get that turned off. but then we come over here and you can see that that wrecked police suv, that hayward police suv, you can see and i can tell you, of course,

spit's badly damaged. i don't nd to tell you that. you can see that. but it did look like the airbags had deployed. and then, of course, after we that's whenw enforcement kind of wrappedl wrapped crime scene tape around this thing and shut these streets down. now, it is a business park, so not too busy over here, but there is some obviously, some traffic is being diverted. guys, we will work to learn more and then bring you that information as we get it. reporting live in hayward. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> bailey thank you new this morning republican presidential hopeful nikki haley is suspending her career, her run for president. let's listen in together. she makes the announcement live. >> vote for her daughter for president only in america. i am filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of support we've received from all across our great country. but the time has now come to suspend my campaign, i said i wanted americans to have their voices heard. i have done that. i have no regrets.

and although i will no longer be a candidate, i will not stop using my voice for the things i believe in. our national debt will eventually crush our economy. a smaller federal government is not only necessary for our freedom, it is necessary for our survival. the is the ron for america. our congress is dysfunctional and only getting worse. it is filled with followers, not leaders. turn limits for washington politicians are needed now more than ever. >> republican presidential hopeful nikki haley suspending her presidential campaign. here we are watching her speak live from her campaign headquarters in charleston, south carolina. this follows a poor showing for haley yesterday during super tuesday. she was projected to win just one primaries. yesterd. this action leaves former president donald trump as the presumptive republican presidential nominee. we will

continue to follow her comments and the fallout in her announcement today, and bring you more here on the air and online. >> all right, garcia, thank you. time 705 in other news, in the race for california's u.s. senate seat, california will decide between a longtime democratic congressman and a republican baseball legend. ktvu is andre senior in the studio now to tell us about the race is getting nationwide attention. andre. >> well, dave, we're talking about southern california representative adam schiff versus former los angeles dodgers and san diego padres first baseman steve garvey. now, let's take primary election results. these are the numbers from the full race here. schiff slightly ahead here with 33.2. and we also have garvey with 32.4, well behind them. katie porter 14. barbara lee 7. thec race is to fill theúsenate seat currently held by laphonza butler and also by the late dianne feinstein. for almost 31 years, campaign spending hit record levels for this primary

almost 250% more spending than the last three california senate races three main democrats battled one another, garvey mustered the support of california republicans. he says the primary election is just the first game of a longer doubleheader. >> for the second game is going to be daunting. it'll super bow, fourth quarter or eight innings, but i think it should be exciting for all of us. i mean, it's actual competition now, garvey knows it's an uphill battle to california, has not elected a republican to the us senate since 1988. >> that's a year after garvey retired from baseball. shift, on the other hand, is the overwhelming favorite. he's been in congress for more than 20 years, and as a campaign war chest that spent about $50 million in ads, you helped us build the biggest grassroots campaign for senate in california history. >> and i cannot thank you enough

. >> but shift during general elel not be smooth sailing. schiff, a strong supporter of israel to defend itself, had pro-palestinian demonstrators chanting ceasefire now and free palestine interrupting his speech. one person was escorted away fromúthe stage. schiff later said he we were lucky to live in a democracy where we all have the right to protest. now. schiff had hoped to face garvey, schiff must nowc mend fences wih his democratic opponent, katie porter. barbara lee as well, both of them from the progressive side of the democratic party. garcia andre senior. >> thank you. californiaúvoters had weighed in on one statewide ballot proposition yesterday. prop one would allow the state to borrow $6 billion to build mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities would also build supportive housing for people who are homeless.

take a look at these numbers. as of this morning, still too close to call. the yes group has 50 and one half percent, with no coming in at 49 and one half percent. prop one has the support of governor newsom, law enforcement, first responders, opponents, though, questioned the constitutionality of the measure as well as its cost. we will watch prop one and everything else you voted on yesterday. be sure to stay with mornings on two as we bring you updated election results throughout the morning. of course, full super tuesday results on our website ktvu.com. >> all right. garcia time now 708 well, ac transit has permanently ended bus service to some stops in downtown oakland on weekend nights. ac transit first started skipping these bus stops 18 months ago because of safety concerns. ac transit told bus drivers continue to detour away from broadway between 14th and 20th streets in both directions. that decision to skip those stops permanently at nighttime has the support of the alameda county sheriff's office. >> time now is 709. there has been a lot of talk about crimec

and public safety in oakland recently, and yesterday here on mornings on two. oakland mayor xiang tao rejected suggestions that crime is on the rise. we're seeing that crimes and homicides are all trending down. >> everything from from 2023 numbers. >> the mayor cited opd crime statistics saying that crime is down in many categories. over the past three months compared to the same time in previous years, especially in business districts where there has been a lot of foot patrol and crime suppression team activities. while this is true, data also show robberies are up 40% from last year in the same time period, home invasions increased from eight in the last inúeight last year, in the first two months to now 18. so far this year. analysts fall, it will take a while for the city's overall reputation to change lie before people feel confident that decreases are there to stay as well. so i think that perceptions mightútake a little while to adjust if these decreases that have been

reported are are sustainable. >> another issue raised by residents is that some crimes could go unreported, such as car break ins. some victims say they don't want to report a smashed window, which would lead to an increase in their insurance rates. oakland police say they do encourage online reporting for this type of incident, so they can at least better track crime trends. >> time now is 710n we're that's pretty busy. it startedt- off slow because of earlier crashes. now it just kind of has remain slow. and northbound 280 is not doing very well. we had a crash up near the 17úinterchange with 280. i can show it to you now. look at that in the middle of heavy rain. so if you have discretion and you don't want to go this morning, if you have the flexibility toúdo whatever you do at home, i know that everyone does. you may want to this pict, you know, i don't want i don't want toc deal with this. this is a look at the bay bridge, just about 50 miles north. skies, a r

congressional race in the bay area. former san jose mayor sam liccardo and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian will face each other in the general election. liccardo received the most votes in a crowded field of 11 candidates to represent. >> we're going to fight for reproductive rights. we're going to fight for democratic institutions. i'll be fighting hard for all those things. but in between the fights, we got to get something done and our our country desperately needs a congress that will get something done. on homelessness, on high utility costs and all the other things that are challenging our communities. >> the election is for the seat held by retiring longtime congresswoman anna eshoo in the east bay. >> the race to succeed congresswoman barbara lee has a clear leader. when barbara lee announced she would not run for reelection to congress, but

would instead run for the senate. barbara lee endorsed lateefah simon to be her successor. latif assignment serves on the bard board of directors, and was endorsed by governor gavin newsom and attorney general rob bonta, and lateefah simon is the leading wh 43% of the vote at jennifer tran >> i will advance to.úan amazing legacy of the incredible ron dellums, the incredible legacy of barbara lee is one that i will deeply attach myself to. >> i am now lateefah. simon goes to the november general election and is expected to face jennifer tran, a cal state east bay professor born and raised in oakland whose parents were refugees from vietnam. >> a panera bread restaurant owner at the center of an ongoing controversy over a

minimum wage says he'll raise wages for all employees to $20 a month starting in april. giant fast food chains will have to pay workers $20 an hour, language in the new law says restaurants, though, are exempt if they operate a bakery that makes and sells bread. some republicans had accused governor newsom of including that language to benefit panera in particular because greg flynn, a major donor to newsom's campaign, owns two dozen panera restaurants in california. the governor rejected those claims. flynn now says whether or not panera would beúexempt from the law. he will pay all his employees in california that $20 an hour wage. medical experts say that more women are turning to popular weight loss drugs, such as ozempic, to shed pounds before trying to get pregnant. many women know that excess weight can dramatically increase the risk of miscarriage and other pregnancy complications, doctors say attaining a healthy weight before pregnancy is important, and they warn women who use weight loss drugs to help them do that should stop taking them at before they start trying to conceive during pregnancy. >> absolutely. do not take, any

of these medications. we simply, you know, do not know the effects in drug administration says the only test conducted so far have been on animals, and that really little is known about the impact of drugs such as ozempic on pregnant women. >> our time now. 717 the sierra finally starting to dig out from all the snow they had over the weekend. the caltrans has lifted the chain requirements on the interstate 80 and highway 50, the two main highways linking the bay area to the lake tahoe area. many longtime tahoe residents say that's a snowstorm was pretty bad. >> other notable years, i'd say not too high. i've seen a lot, a lot more snow in a shorter period of time. this was a good snowstorm. it brought it brought a lot of snow. good for us. >> now the blizzard dropped more than ten feet of snow in some parts of the sierra. 126in of snow fell at sugar bowl ski

resort, 93in fell at palisades. >> let's get out the door. 718 likely going to have the windshield wipers going south. what do you find on the roads? >> yeah, some places have more windshield wiper activity than others. garcia and dave, westbound 24. looks like we're seeing maybe a little bit of wet weather. right now, or maybe recently because it's dark and the roads are wet. and just a reminder that you need to have your headlights on any time your spwindshield wipers are going. it's state law. even bay bridgeu can see traffic for a typical ds not raining there right now. interstate 80 and oakland looks all right. san mateo bridge. no rain there in the last few minutes. it's moderately heavy. south bay has had a lot of rain in 280 and 101 are all a big mess. it really no one freeway s to the wrong thing. i do want to go back to 280 in san jose. let's show a picture. look at that. rain coming down right now. all the

headlights are on there. you can see it is definitely different from whatúwe saw up north. 719 let's bring steve back in to talk about the weather. >> thank you sal, you're spot on there. we will take a look at this system which is overachieving herec for some pouring rain. san jose, almaden valley, willow glen maybe where you are as well. this is called a cutoff low. it is cut off from the main branch of the jet stream here. zoom out. there's nothing there. so it has a own.e steering currents are weak. of s a forecast model called the lfm. it was called the limited fine mesh, or we called it the limited fine mess because it wa. occasionally though, it handled cut off lows better than any other forecast to forecast, and this one is doing just that. look at this rain stretching now going south to north. it's made it up to san pablo bay over to richmond, el sobrante, berkeley, oakland, even out to parts of the east bay, san rafael into marin county. but the heavier amounts, without a doubt, have been along

the san mateo coast and san jose. look at sunnyvale, milpitas. i mean, this is slam city for some, especially around los gatos is now up to a third of an inch of rain. campbell, san jose, sunnyvale and back into the santa cruz mountains. so again, this is the focus of spalthough it looks like that is little bit towards santa cruz,a- santa cruz mountains.úso i think this is more ofc a morning even. it will decrease throughout the afternoon as the low goes far enough. south will be tooúfar north, would expect some pretty hefty totals here, maybe around redwood city. half moon bay, again, that's that looks to be the line, but the low is now starting. you can see where most of the activity is, where it's stretching itself out, starting to head more south. so it'll take a lot of that moisture with it 4050 on the temps. but there's plenty to go around here for the amounts again, the amounts are a little tough here. i think some of these are overdone, but look for some off and on rain today, especially san franciscoc peninsula south towards san jose, santa cruz mountains. but rain has returned for the morning. we get a break though. tomorrow >> so steve, thank you. 721

biden-harris reelection campaign. the east bay city of pittsburgh isc cracking down on illegal dumping. city leaders voted this week to increase the fines to $1,000 per incident. that's the highest allowed by the state police in pittsburgh will also be given the authority to charge those responsible for the dumping. the full cost of cleanup. pittsburgh is one of many bay area communities struggling with illegal dumping now for several years. your time now 725 a junior college professor from santa rosa is using music superstar taylor swift as a subject to teach about friendship. >> adjunct faculty member liz guarini has been teaching that class for two years now. she says her online section of the course is unique because it uses the music superstar to help students examine the concepts of friendship. guarini went to taylor to australia, and got inspired for her class. all right, our time

they're making their opinions heard on the city's drug crime and homelessness problems with the early results from yesterday's ballot measures could mean for san francisco. plus, this morning, we know which two candidates are projected to move on to november's us senate election, with only one candidate who's not right now in the top two, says she's not ready to give up. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. well good morning to you. >> thank you for joining us. and welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it's wednesday march 6th. let's get you to work in school and all those places we need to go steve paulson it's pretty incredible how quickly the weather's changed. >> well, if you're north and east, it's not too bad. if

you're about san francisco south, it's coming down, especially around san jose. the almaden valley, willow glen, take your pick, santa clara, there's been some heavy rain over a half inch of rain at san& jose airport. it's just this morning. some areas in the santa cruz mountains are now also over a half inch of rain, and it continues to go. i think there's a back edge to it though, but it has been lifting north now over san francisco into marin county, of course, over oaklandc and berkeley. looks like it's kind of hanging bay, but it's really all about the peninsula. half moon bay has picked up about a quarter of an inch, los gatos has picked up a third of an inch, and you can see there it looks like there's some break in it, but when it rains, it pours. boy, i'll say, most of this rain, though, moving south to north is favoring areas that i just mentioned. and we'll keep the heaviest rain to the south or along the san mateo coast for today. 60s on the temps. all right. sal is here. 730 i imagine there's issues south because of all the rain. >> yeah, some of these drivers in the south bay are going to be a little salty. steve on 280 northbound and 101 because

this. northbound 280, it's very slow. it's backed up from 101 ss just because of the wet weather. i'll show it to you on the map. almost every south bay freeway is slower than it normally is. and that includes getting up to cupertino, getting those freeways are slow. let's go to the bay bridge. you'll see there's a big backup, although it is not raining actively. the roads are wetc. 731 let's get back to the headlines. >> we'll start in the city. here at san francisco, voters approved several propositions on their local ballot, including one that gives police the ability to use drones and expands their ability to chase criminal suspects. ktvu erasmus is live in the city here to explain the results and also reaction this morning, ali yeah, measures on the local ballot for san francisco voters, and voters approved all but one of those measures. >> two of the most controversial and consequential measures, measures e and f, passed. let's take a look at the vote totals

from measure e. 60% of san francisco voters approved it. it passed. it authorizes the city to install public surveillance cameras and give police more flexibility to use things like drones and facial recognition technology. it also allows police to update their police pursuit policy and chase people suspected of committing violent crimes and felonies. opponents of this measure say it gives police too much power, with unclear results. >> there have been no evidence to any component of proposition e that would actually improve the safety of our community. it won't prevent violence or solve homicides. there are safeguards built into the measure for folks that are concerned. >> you know, the police department will have to go to the board of supervisors every year to basically explain footat they're using from surveillance cameras, from drones. they'll have to explain how they're using the technology. >> measure f passed with 63% of the vote. it requires people on

public assistanceúin san francisco to go through regular drug screening tests and get substance abuse treatment. opponents say the city doesn't have the resources to provide substance abuse treatment to everyone who would need it in order to qualify opponents call it a false promise. now, one measure that failed, the one of the seven that did not pass by voters was measure b that would have tied police staffing levels to tax increases. live in san francisco ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. ali thank you. >> democrat adam schiff and republican steve garvey are expected to move on to the november election in the race for california's open u.s. senate seat. schiff and garvey have commanding leads over their rivals. you can see the results here. on your screen. at this point, votes are still being called. longtime east bay congresswoman barbara lee came in fourth in that race, but says she remains optimistic. she left her seat in congress to run for senate. she thanked volunteers and voters for their support at her campaign headquarters in oakland yesterday. she also noted this was the most

expensive race for california senate in our state's history. >> when you look at $27 million by my opponents, it's like, come on, what do you think that is? i mean, i don't take corporate pac money. you can see the disparity in the money. i mean, come on, the establishment money doesn't go to a black progressive woman. spbut we have people and we have low donors. we have recurring donors. >> lee headed back to washington, d.c. shortly after the polls closed, did not go to a watch party in oakland.úshe also all right. our time is 730 for the race to become california's next u.s. senator will be one of the big races in the november general election. and once again,úit looks like we'll also be voting on a rematch between joe biden and donald trump. let's just break down the early primary election results. we have ktvu political analyst brian sobel with us. brian, good to see you and us, . >> good morning. a momentous night in california and across

the nation. >> well, let's start, brian, with the us senate, adam schiff, steve garvey are expected to advance. what does this mean for california voters? >> i think the way that the election in novemberc will break down is that adam schiff, who will enjoy a 2 to 1 democrat advantage over the republican steve garvey, really will have a pretty easy time unless, some unforeseeable things occur between now and november, dave, you know, schiff ran a great campaign, but one that is a was bruising in the sense that he elevated steve garvey, with perhaps up to $25 million and made garvey a real opponent in the, in the eyes of, california& voters. but at the same time, he, tamped down, the, candidacy

of barbara lee and katie porter, and i'm sure that there's some, sore feelings today in those, two camps. >> yeah, that's going to be interesting to watch. now, brian, less than an hour ago, republican presidential candidate nikki haley announced she's suspendingc hert& presidential campaign. did last night's vote results make that inevitable? >> absolutely. it, you know, the trump train started rolling, actually weeks ago, with the, the beginning of the caucus, time and then just, continued to roll through, through last night. and when you pick up as many delegates as the former presidentc did, it makes the job of an opponent, in this case, nikki haley, impossible. and so she had to suspend her campaign, but, you know, she did it as a fighter, as somebody who said, you know, i, i, want to bring issues to the american people

and have the american people, discuss them and, she did not concede to the, to the trump, wing of the party, she fought it all the way to the to the end as far as she could. anyway, and today she suspends her campaign, and now it sets up dave. of course, the matchup, in a rematch up between, joe biden, president biden and donald trump and, you know, game on. >> yeah. let me quickly ask you before i ask you about that, nikki haley, do you expect her to endorse trump? what do you expect her to do next? >> it's an interesting question. she was not treated well by the former president. and, but parte said today that, you know, donald trump is going to have to earn the votes of people who did not support him and supported her, i we'll see over time, i would expect that, you know, almost as we're speaking,

that the trump campaign is reaching out to the haley campaign to see what they could do to bring her into the fold, i think it's going to take a few days because a lot of a lot of hurt feelings along the way. but again, i think those are the kinds of conversations that are probably going on really right now. >> yeah. let's talk about november real quick. biden, trump in november for 2024. well, we see the same kind of voter turnout in november as we did in 2020. >> great question. i i'm not sure. i think aúlot of voters have biden trump fatigue, polling anecdotally, empirically , we just know that this is not a race that is exciting. the american people. so as we as we move forward, unless the president can really start generating some interest and, and, donald trump some interest, i think we may see a lower turnout than we have in past years. i think a lot of people

may take a pass, frankly, on voting for either one. >> wow. always good to listen to you, ktvu you political analyst brian sobel. brian, thank you for joining us this morning. >> absolutely. have a great morning, dave. >> you as well. >> all right. 739 let's get out the door here a lot of people driving through rain. and sal has some important traffic spots . he's watching. >> yeah. garcia and dave, it's important to note the distinction between the east bay and bay. and steve has been telling you that it's not raining right now at the bay bridge toll plaza. let's go right to the camera there. it's actually drying off, and the traffic looks a little bit more we go farther south.c this is 880 near the coliseum. it looks okay. san mateo bridge also still looking good, but you go to the south bay not that far away. everything is very, very slow on all the freeways. if in case you're just waking up, said, yeah, maybe to the office and notice that every single thing is a lot slower than it normally

is. and that's because of wet weather. you can see it's not quite as severe as it was earlier, but definitely wet. and all the freeways let's go back . >> okay. now thank you. when we often hear that new york city sets trends that spread all over the country, we'll tell you what whole foods is doing in new york city. that may spread here to the bay area. >> well, we're not to our newsroom. now. say hi again to andre senior. as you look ahead to the next hours of mornings on two. >> well, good morning. the blue note jazz festival getting rebranded. upcoming napa valley music festival aimed at creating a closer connection between fans.& and later on tonight, the month of march, marks colorectal cancer awareness month. it's one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths nationwide. we will talk live with a doctor about how early detection and intervention can make the difference in saving lives.

almond and valley blossom hill, willow glen, it's really been coming down out there a pretty n in theúalmaden valley. 4/10 and climbing. he's probably over a half inch of rain by now, but had a couple reports from the almaden valley. are you going? oh, there it is. now the computer is moving. but yes, that has been the main area for focus, john, asc we have had 81/100 already in west san jose this morning. that's that's an eye opener right there. other totals that i saw including near blossom hill, two thirds of an inch. bonny doon, santa cruz mountains 59/100 ben lomondú57 san jose half inch of rain, los gatos hills over a third in town, a third la honda on spskyline, a third and fremont picked up 12 100. it's called a cut off low, but it has been sending in moisture rotating it in. it looks like there wants to be a back edge, but it's still been lifting northward. marin county over that from marn rafael has been over oakland,

berkeley, a fine line from areas east. no, north but sunnyvale. over to half moon bay. there's been some pretty good rain. still some kicking up. its heels there around sunnyvale. milpitas. look rain around sants well. back into the santa cruz mountains. it looks like there might be a tail end of some. let me zoom out a little bit here. let me zoom out. now. there's still some it looks like they're decreasing. so this will be mainly a morning event. some of the projection redwood city, half moon bay, santa cruz mountain, san jose, morgan hill by far and away. more so than anyone else. bless you pamela. t one more in you over there, the low will continue to scoot to the south, but look forúsome morning rain. a lot of cloud cover here. if you're getting any rain north and east, it will be light or brief, but not so much marin county south. that's the forecast especially down towards san this afternoon we'll be on the decreasing edge of this cloudy morning rain south to north. mostly cloudy, rain, heaviest around san jose, santa cruz or

on the peninsula. 60s on the temps. can starting thursday, especially friday. but then clouds roll back in on the weekend. there, steve. >> thank you. the country appears headed for a repeat of the 2020 presidential matchup. nikki haley just announced she's suspending her campaign for the white house in the 8:00 hour. we'll talk with a political expert about where her supporters then another bay area city could weigh in on calls for a ceasefire in gaza. what leaders in the east bayúcommunity of albany are doing differently than other recentc cease fire resolutions.

the war between israel and hamas. >> i would have spoken against the internment. i would have spoken in germany. and i feel incumbent on me to speak now. >> now the city council approved creating a committee with two council members who will study the possibility of drafting a resolution calling for a cease fire. one council member abstained from the vote, saying this is out of the purview of the city of albany. well, problems with erosion threatening a road in the east bay that runs high above the caldecott tunnel between oakland and orinda. tunnel road is often used by people in the bay forest neighborhood of the oakland hills, but a landslide eight

years ago damaged part of that road, and it was say things are only getting worse. >> the hill is still eroding, and as these storms come through, the water flowing down here is getting under the tarps and still washing away the land underneath the road and access for emergency vehicles is absolutely critical. up here. we remain in a high fire hazard zone. >> the cityúof oakland is telling homeowners. the city will complete an engineering study that began late last year, and repairs could begin this summer. time at 758. the cdc reports an alarming increase in the number of nonsmoker workers who develop lung cancer in the u.s. the cdc found. cigaret smokers are still up to 30 time& more likely to get lung cancer than people who don't smoke, but that same report found a recent rise in the number of lung cancer cases among americans who've stayed away from tobacco

their entire life. >> we're finding now 15 or 20% of all lung cancers are occurring in people who've done everything right. they've never smokedc, they've exercised, they've eaten right, and they still get lung cancer. >> now, medical research shows exposure to radon gas is of this increase in lung cancer cases among nonsmokers. radon gas has no odor. it's being detected in a growing number of homes, schools and businesses. radon is found naturally in all soils, and it can be trapped inside of buildings. well, the a's unveiled new artist renderings of its proposed new $1.5 billion ballpark in las vegas. take a look. the indoor ballpark would see 33,000 fans and feature a view of the vegas strip. some fans have already said the stadium is sleek design looks a lot like the world famous sydney opera house in australia. the a's plan to open this stadium in

wednesday, march 6th. it's awfully wet out there for so many steve paulson. what is the rest of the day look like. >> well we'll see rain in the morning here but decreasing throughout the day. but i'll tell you it's been all about sa, blossom hill in the santa cruz mountains. west san jose has had over an inch of rain just this morning near blossom hill, two thirds bonny doon, santa cruz mountains. almostc 6/10 san jose airport usually has a drive bys, but today half inch of rain. los gatos hills, los gatos, saratoga with a quarter of an inch and crystal springs reservoir with 16/100 and there it is continues to march northward. there is a tail end to it, so we'll see decreasing rain, but it's all about this system lifting all the way up into marin county. parts of now, some areas not a drop, others it's been coming down pretty good. the focus, though, has been about san jose, santa cruz mountains, peninsula and up towards marin county. but i think we're we're winding down here, but when it rains, it pours here. that's been the case here. mostly cloudy rain, heaviest to the south. temperatures staying in the 60s. all right. sal is here. where are we heading? >> we're heading to the bay

bridge. steve, you just talked about the differences in the bay area commutes. if you look at the bay bridge, it is relatively dry. sure. it's been raining. maybe a few hours ago here, but right now, no water on the lens. not damp at 880, the same thing goesl you see and you see slow traffic in hayward and& on the san mateo bridge, all very typical. san jose is a different story. has been raining, pretty consistently inf them are very slow. look at this. lit up red. almost everywhere you go, it's safe. this actually makes it easy. san jose, silicon is slow. 801 let't back to the desk. >> sal. thank you. this morning, a hayward police officer in the hospital following a crash that happened while that officer was bailey o'carroll is in hayward, more details. baileyened with >> andre. good morning. yeah, that officer sustained non-life threatening injuries. that

officer expected to be okay. so of course that is some good news this morning. it all started when a burglary happened. that officer respondedc to that burglary call, andc then a i should say a chase ensued. that is when we suspect that that officer who was driving a hayward police suv hit a fire hydrant, which you can kind ovee and white marked little traffic barrier would be, that thing when we got onto the scene here was was gushing. it was spraying probably about 30ft up into the air, and then we do want to say we got to the scene about 630. so it was spraying quite early a number of hours ago. at this getting it turned off. now back- to the scene. so you can see, here i believe you're watching video of that fire hydrant spraying into the air. did take firefighters a quite a while to get it turned off in. that water

was pretty deep. it's receded almost all now, but for a while there they were walking into it at some points, some people up to their shins. of course, that water has receded now and then you see a police suv, which was badly damaged. you could see the driver side airbags had clearly been deployed. in addition to also destroyed. the suv, crashed into a ditch. i'm not sure if we can kind of swing over here to show you exactly where that ditch was, and then they actually had to bring in an excavator. hook that up to the back of that police suv, and kind of drag it up out of this ditch. from that point, they were able to tow that vehicle as as normal as a, as a tow truck normally works. but i can tell you again, this water has receded. is gone. the roads open back up here and traffic delays. there wasn't too many here. this is a business park, so it was pretty slow up until now, up until some people just started showing up

for work just a little bit ago. but other than that, it's a pretty quiet area. of course, some good news. again, that officer sustaining non-life threatening injuries. they are expected to be okay. and now as as for what those burglars were targeting, what sort of business? we are still working to learn more and of course, as& soon as we get that information reporting live in hayward. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> bailey thank you. your time now is 804 new this morning. we're learning more about the background of the man who was killed by deputies in sonoma county, jose luis villasenor cervantes died after a deadly chase and shooting, according to santa rosa police department. cervantes had a long criminal history. the 53 year old suspect had been back to 2009. he'd also been arrested for willful cruelty to a child, criminal threats, domestic violence, dui and narcotics. new. >> thisúmorning we brought this to you. live in just the past hour here, republican presidential candidate nikki haley has ended her campaign.

haley won one state in the super tuesday primaries. vermont. she thanked her supporters and congratulated former president donald trump on his successful campaign. she did not endorse him and said he'll have to earn the votes of her supporters. it is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it, who did not support him, and i hope he does that. haley said one of the proudest moments of her campaign happened when her mother, a first generation immigrant, got to vote for her daughter for president. >> all right, in california now, president biden and donald trump easily won their party's primary. let's take a look at the republican primary results here in california. we'll see that donald trump here has 79, while nikki haley has 18. now, on the democratic side, president biden also locked in california, securing 89, while marianne williamson 3. >> the race between longtime democrat adam schiff and republican steve

garvey. these are the numbers for the full time race. we see. adam schiff has just over 33. garvey has just over 32. for garvey, a former dodger star says he views this primary election as the first game in a long doubleheader. >> the second game is going to be daunting. >> it'll be almost like a super bowl over the next, fourth quarter or eight innings, but i think it should be exciting for all of us. i mean, it's actual competition now. >> california has not elected a republican to the us senate since 1988. one year after garvey retired from baseball. schiff is the overwhelming favorite with a large campaign war chest and will continue to easily outspend garvey. >> you helped us build the biggest grassroots campaign for senate in california history, and i cannot thank you enough. i want to schiff will likely work to mend fences with the democrats. >> he beat katie porter and barbara lee. the race is to fill the seat currently held by senator laphonza butler, formerly held by the late senator dianne feinstein. for

almost 31 years in perhaps the most closely watched congressional race in the bay area, looks like former san jose mayor sam liccardo will likely face santa clara county supervisor joe simitian for the general election. carter received the a crowded 11 candidate field representing part of silicon valley. >> we're going to fight for reproductive rights. we're going to fight for democratic institutions. i'll be fighting hard for all those things. but in between the fights, we got to get something done and our our country desperately needs a congress that will get something done. on homelessness, on high utility costs and all the other things that are challenging our communities. >> this election is to try to win the seat held by retiring longtime congresswomanúanna eshoo. now to the east bay, in what appears to be a clear leader in the race to succeed congresswoman barbara lee. when lee announced she would not run for reelection to instead run for senate, she endorsed lateefah simon to be her successor. simon serves on the bart board of directors, also picked up endorsements from governor gavin newsom and attorney general rob bonta. she

is leading heavily this morning, 43% of the vote to jennifer tran's 17. >> i went back to. an amazing legacy of the incredible ron dellums, the incredible legacy of barbara lee is one that i will deeply attach myself to. >> i am in the november general election. simon is expected to face jennifer tran, a cal state east bay professor born and raised were vietnamese refugees. >> well, california voters had only one statewide ballot proposition on the ballot. proposition one would allow the state to borrow $6 billion to build mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities. it would also build supportive housing for the homeless. the proposition has the support of governor newsom, law enforcement and first responders. opponents, though, questioned the constitutionality of the measure as well as its costs. the results this morning still too close to call? check it out. the yes votes 50.5. the

no. 49.5% here, both in locations acrossúthe bay area last night, one of the largest republicanc gatherings was in sn francisco's marina district. >> my wife and i are trump people, so we're looking forward to it. we're looking forward to a different outcome this time. >> across town san francisco in san francisco, democrats held a watchúparty of their own. it was held in the city's south of market neighborhood. >> andúi definitely want to see biden beat trump. every vote really does matter. >> many democrats and republicans in the bay area are already making plans to attend watch parties on election night in november. >> time is 810, and boy, do we have a tough commute going on in san the south bay. ifc that's your commute, you may want to get out of theúhouse as soon as you can or alternate as long as you can until allfor- this traffic eventually filters through take a

while. it's only 810, so probably another hour and a half significantly better. and part of it is because it has been raining. there it is. look at this. just just in case you didn't believe the maps i put spup, look at 280 in san jose. this is not good. you don't want to be driving this unless you absolutely have to. now, if you go up to the north bay or the east bay, it's not quite as bad. it's not raining as hard, and the commutes look a little bit more likec is to say slow traff, but all within the realm of a regular wednesday commute. 810 let's go back to the desk. >> so thank you. results are in for a number of significant props in san francisco. how the most consequential and controversial measures are doing this morning. >> also, what's next for the republican party now? the nikki haley suspended a race for the white house. we'll talk live with the political expert to discuss this

on x he will not be donating money to either presidential candidate, the independent senator from arizona, senator kirsten sinema, said she will not seek reelection when her terms ends. >> her announcement comes after senate republicans blocked a bipartisan bill to help secure the us-mexico border and deliver aid to ukraine and israel, which she spent months negotiating. in a video posted on social media, she says she is leaving after only one terms because partizanship has paralyzed congress. >> former first lady michelle obama's officec is shutting down rumors. that she's eyeing the white house. some had suggested she'd be a good alternative to president biden, given his age and approval ratings. former first lady's office says michelle obama supports the biden-harris reelection campaign. >> new proposed legislation in the state assembly would require armed law enforcement officer to patrol each of its campuses. current state law allows school districts to decide whether to hire armed or unarmed officers. if the bill becomes a law, it would be a state mandated

program requiring the state to reimburse each district for its cost. >> east bay city of pittsburgh is cracking down on illegal dumping. city leaders voted this week to increase the fines to $1,000 per incident. that's the highest allowed by the state. police in pittsburgh. will also be given the authority to charge those responsible for dumping the full cost of cleanup. pittsburgh is one of many bay area communities that struggled with illegal dumping now for several years. >> all right, it's almost 816 now. let's check in with sal castaneda, who's watching the roads wet out there in many areas. problem spots toon yeah >> you know, it's wet in the south bay. it's not as wet in the east bay. we do have some slow and 680. let's go to 24. it's getting better though, on those commutes where it's not wet, you will see that traffic is moving along. okay. you can see that traffic at the bay bridge looks pretty normal here, and this is a look at interstate 880. it's not, there. it's it's going to e bit slow. and if you're driving

on 580 over the altamont pass, it slows. 680 is slow right through the sunol grade san mateo bridge is moderate. and, you know, right right now the south bay commute really is the worst spot in the bay area. we have a lot of slow traffic there the wet weather. now then atoft- 816, let's they this morning. >> sal, as you know, west san jose. from our observer john there over an inch of rain, 1.09 near blossom hill. two thirds of an inch. bonny doon, santa cruz mountains, 59 100 san jose airport usually, you know, has the dry bias has had over a half inch of rain. i think they're over a half now. los gatos hills, a third plus los gatos in town, a third. saratoga a quarter of an inch in crystal springs reservoir has had 16/100. i know half moon bay is close to a quarter of an calledw there. really tough to forecast. models simply don't have a good handle on this. it's cut off

from the main jet stream of the main flow, so it has aúmind of its own sometimes, but it's been spinningc in a lot of cloud covr and some rain, although i do think there back edge to this now, but it's going to lift it up towards marin county. kind of put on the brakes. they're kind of hanging out, but still a little bit to the east bay, but not that much. i mean some areas, no rain at all in areas not that far apart, a lot of rain versus no rain, but still some moving through sunnyvale now on the peninsula as well, along the san mateo coast, half moon bay as well into san jose, for sure. i mean, that's that's been the that's been the main rain band this cruz mountains. t now look at it. looks like there's a back edge right there. yeah there is. so we will start to clear from this from north to south here. but the rain has been front and center for san jose area for this morning. itt& looks like they'll pick up the most here. i think they'll be. i don't think there'll be anything like that towards santa rosa or anything, but maybe san rafael could pick up that much. system will move south throughout the day. it'll be in central california coast, but still we

got some pretty good rain out of thisn it looks like we're about ready to round third and head for home, but it may take another couple of hours if you're north and east. probably little to nothing. so a lot of cloud cover here. cloudy to mostly cloudy. rain going south to north. looks like it's put on the air brake so. but heaviest rain around san jose santa cruz peninsula, but i think the heaviest is either right now or it'súabout ready to start to decrease. but 60s on a lot of the temps. we get our break starting thursday. warmer on friday, more clouds on the weekend though guys. >> thank you steve. 818 east bay congresswoman barbara lee says she's still optimistic in the race for the california senate, despite he fact she came

one one state yesterday. vermont and california president donald trump easily won their parties primaries here. the republican primary results in california. former president trump 79% support nikki haley, with 18. on the democratic side, president biden has locked in our state 89% support, compared to 3% for marianne williamson. let's get more insight on this morning's news that the country appears headed for a 2020t& presidential race. we welcome former chairman of the california republican party, tom del beccaro, to mornings on two. thanks for being with us. >> good to see you again. >> what do you make of nikki haley's decision to suspend her campaign, but not endorse former president trump? >> run a curious

campaign all along. it's basically been i'm against trump, but you need to have some positive idea as to why you're running. i can do this better than the other person. and so she has gone into this tailspin of just being against trump. look, i know there's a lot of americans who are against trump, but when you're running in a republican primary, you need a better reason.c and so her decision not to endorse him right away leaves her out there on a limb. and i don't think it's good for her future. she wants to be the 2028 president.e republicans, and i don't see her in that path yet. >> do you see her running as a spthird party candidate? >> i don't, because at the end of the day, we're in this cycle, this four year cycle, we're to spend some 20 something billion dollars between the two parties and their supporters. third parties can't compete with that in america. it's too big, too many media markets and so if

she went this path, not only would she be unsuccessful and probably not get on the ballot, but it would also end her career effectively in politics. >> does does today's action by nikki haley change? former president trump's message or action going forward to november ? >> well, i should like to hope so. if you want to be president, it's a game of addition. you need to say to the americans, here's what i'm going to do on the border. one, two, three with regard to inflation, i'm going to do these three things. if he gets to this positive mode, given biden's polling numbers, he's got aúbetter chance. he needs to forget, though the past to meaning nikki haley was against me. so what do you want to be president? and therefore i'm going to do these things for all of america. >> too early to talk about a possible running mate, a vice president. >> no, it's neverc too early to talk about that. who's on your shortlist? i am, i think he's going to pick tim scott quite

franklyn tim scott is very energetic. he's been a good supporter of trump. trump likes people who are loyal to him. lord knows we know that by now. but i his energy and his sort of reaganesque message is what trump would need. and i think it also broadens the party because tim scott is not a establishment republican. he's not an insider. and i think that brings him good energy at, i don't often use that word, but in politics, you need a lot of energy. >> let's talk about the energy surrounding the two presidential candidates here. we just had a poll the other day that said about 60% of people say they are either somewhat or very concerned about the mental acuity of both former president donald trump and president biden. what do you make of that >> well, we've just come to an interesting point. not often in our history do we have two, candidates of this particular

age. so i don't know that it's something that's going to last into the next election. i think there will be a generational change, but for now, the proof will be in the pudding. they're going to be out on the campaign trail. people are going to see whether one of them or both have this problem. frankly trump is more energetic. he's got more energy than i do. and i'm a couple of decades younger than the guy.úso it's going to be up to biden, especially thursday night, to show that energy if he wants to be able to convince americans that he should be reelected. okay. the state of the union address,- which you'll get to see here on channel two. i'll have to put that plug in for our newsroom real quick. one quick comment out here on the california senate. what do you make of steve garvey now going to be facing off against adam schiff. and specifically the tactic by schiff that sought to elevate garvey in this race? >> look, i understand why schiff wanted to do this. you don't want a big inner party bloodbath between him and katie porter. that would have taken a lot of

money. and there's that energy word again. here's two things that give steve garvey a chance. he has enormous name id in los angeles, in san diego, the two biggest areas in the state, most beyond that, this move to repeal prop 47 is gaining ground 500,000 signatures that will bring a different mix to the polls this fall. in a state where, look, biden is going to win california, in all likelihood, right democrat to win the senate. but if a new mix of voters come in because they're so tired of what with his name ids, will make this an interesting race this fall. >> okay. of course, registered democrats outnumber registered republicans 2 to 1 in our state, but just becausec you're registered there, there can still be some question there. tom del beccaro we'll have to leave it here. i appreciate your joining us early. after a super tuesday night. thanks for being here. sp>> all right. take care. >> you too. you too. let's

switch down to southern california here as a semi truck is toppled by strong winds. more on what it took to get this semi back upright next

senate seat. we'll get some analysis and look ahead. the san francisco voters weighed in on a number of propositions focused on public safety and help for

spthe city's most vulnerable residents. we're live in san francisco with where those measures are headed. this morning from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> good morning and mikaelian im andre senior. >> thank you for joining us. today is wednesday, march 6th. and we outside and a smattering of rain in certain areas. so let's check in with steve paulson to see how your day is shaping up. >> it's been about san jose. it really has peninsula as well. santa cruz mountains. but really san jose has taken the brunt of this. this morning. and every traffic picture i think on sal has has shown lots of rain down there. it looks like it's about done here. you can see i think it's about ready to wind down as the upper low starts to drift south. it'll take its main moisture with it, but put on the went up to marin bay, not much, little toan but - nothing. and then also on the peninsula, i think, though, but you can see that line looks like where edge to that. but when it rains it

pours. and when it's a rain year and it's a rain year, this system and a dry year would not have done anything. but but we'o see a decrease in that rain. 60s on the temps by tomorrow and friday we get a break in some warmer temps. all right. sal is here and he will tell you and me what, you know, i'm tellingúyou now that the south bay is exactly as you say it is, steve. >> it is up a picture of 280 in san jose, and it does look very slow in both directions. it's been like a rainy day commute back in january. that's what itúlooks like. it shows where all the slow traffic is, it is filled in. so if you have flexibility,úyou may want to go later. now, if you just go about 50 miles north to the bay bridge, yes, it's slow, definitely slow, but it's dry and that's helping out. 832 let's go back to the headlines, san francisco voters approved several propositions on their local ballot, including a measure that requires anyone on public assistance to undergo regular drug tests. >> ktvu sally rasmus live in the city with a look at the voting

results and reaction. ali garcia there were a total of seven local measures on san franciscans ballots, and voters approved all but one of them. >> now, one of the measures that passed, there were several of them, as we mentioned, six of them. but one of them is measure f, and that's the one we're taking a closer look at this time around. let's show you some of the vote totals. more than two thirds of san francisco voters approved it. it requires people on public assistance in san francisco to go through a drug screening tests and get substance abuse treatment. supporters say it's a sign from voters that they want stricter enforcement against illegal drug use in the city. but opponents of the measure say they think it will make the problem worse, making it more likely. they say that people will lose their benefits and end up. >> we don't have theúresources to actually provide treatment to the folks who even need it now, who are asking for it now. they're waiting in line. and so it's a false promise. >> folks will still have 30 days and potentially longero-

if the hsa, the city's department, decides. and really what this is about is, you know, we've already tried the carrot approach in san francisco. it's time to use a little bit more of the stick to nudge people into treatmentn >> now, another controversial, inconsequential measure that passed was measure e. it passed with 60% of the vote. it authorizes the city to install public surveillance cameras and gives police more flexibility to use technology like drones and facial recognition technology. it also allows police to update their police pursuit policies so that they can chase people committed suspected of committing violent crimes and felonies. now, another measure that passed that was supported and put on the ballot by mayor london breed, along with e and f, was measure c andúthat temporarily removes the real estate transfer tax for any landowner that wants to convert housing. another measure that passed overwhelming was a g, which calls on san francisco-

unified school district to teaching algebra or offer algebra to eighth grade. public school students once again live in san francisco. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> allie, thank you. democrat adam schiff and republican steve garvey expected to move on to the november general election and the race for california's open u.s. senate seat. schiff and garvey have commanding leads over their rivals. there are still many votes to count here. longtime east bay congresswoman barbara lee came in fourth with 7% in the california senate race so far. still she says she's optimistic she left her seat in congress to run for the senate. she thanked volunteers and voters for their support in oakland. she noted this was the most expensive race for california's senate in our state's history. >> so when you look at $27 million by my opponents, it's like, come on, what do you think that is? i mean, i don't take corporate pac money. you the disparity in the money. i mean, comec on, the establishmet money doesn't go to a black progressive woman, but we have people and we have low donors.

we have recurring donors. >> lee headed back to washington shortly after polls closed. did not go to the watch party in alo didn't answer a reporter's questions about what could be in her future. >> for more on this year's primary race and results, we are live with professor david mcewen of sonoma state university, david for joining us this morning. we know that you've been up all night watching what's happening here. so we just saw the schiff garvey race here, a pretty tight race at this point, does the fact that a republican republican steve garvey, performed so well signify anything to you about what's happening in our state? >> well, i mean, he's look, he't that's not really the headline today. today, the headline was e race. donald trump is pretty popular amongst california republicans. and adam schiff spent $10 million propping steve garvey up. that gave republicans an opportunity to come out. and in the in that vote, they voted for steve garvey. he'll probably end up 3 to 5 points ahead of

adam schiff. now that's a different animal. come november, california, as your viewers know, is a deeply blue state. it's not all blue. it has red and purple areas, but almost one out of every two registered voters and a high turnout election is going to come out there. democrats, and so that helps adam schiff. he's also a fundraising juggernaut. so one of the challenges for steve garvey is can he raise money and can he he's viable, that will help him, congressional races and it could also fuel a potential recall against gavinúnewsom. so there are some reasons for republicans to be optimists pickúout of today. but it is unlikely in november that steve garvey will be victorious. and that's exactly the way adam schiff wanted it, with he and his pac spending over $40 million. all told, for the most expensive race, with over 70 million spent in this us senate race. >> so if i'm hearing what you'r&

saying here, the voter turnout because it going to catapult schiff to be ahead of garvey and win the senate seat. >> it's going to be wider, more diverse. you know, we know that people 65 and older vote early and often, but voters that are 18 to 35 are not as enthusiastic , now, we saw them last night, at adam schiff's victory, kind of speech where they were rallying and demonstrating about gaza. but those 18 to 35 year olds are going to be hugely important, in november. and we will see them turn out at that point. and those are voters thae democratic side than they are more likely on the republican proponent for israel right now, and we saw what happened at his speech lastúnight, could that be a factor in the race when they head to the polls? >ñ yeah. i mean, look, i know we're talking about yesterday's election, but what you're really talking about is the speech of joe biden's political life, which is tomorrow night, the state of the union, because democrats have to worry that,

look, there is a progressive element, particularly younger, thatúis worried and upset gaza. and they don't want this to become like 1968. the last time we saw chicago, which was a mess. and so it is a worry that democrats have and is going to have to meet this head on. to barbara lee's credit, she did move adam schiff in the last 24 hours of this schiff is closer to thedam administration about calling for some type of ceasefire. >> all right, david, proposition one here championed as critical to solving the state's mental health and homelessness crisis, very close here. yes, 50.5 versus no. 49n5. what do you make of this nail biter? >> yeah, i mean, there's a lot of votes still out there to count. so we want to pay attention to that. if it would k for governor newsom, mayor for t cash, to his time now as governor. and really as a national political figure. he's identified with homelessness, with mental health, and with dealing with this problem. but he only has two years left,

basically, when this would take effect. and even if it takes effect, it's going to take a year, to kind of rally up and build a bureaucracy around that. and this is a very difficult issue. and california voters remember coming out for garvey, coming out to vote for trump, a lot of them republicans, they voted this down. and so we're going to pay attention to this over the next, say, couple of weeks to see if this ballot measure, it looks likeúit will eke out a victory, but it should havec been higher than 52. so really, anything less than 52% also fuels opponents newsom. and those opponents are not just in california. they're spacross the country. that'll be something to watch because he's a national political figure, a person who's running for president while not running for president, not running for president. national stage over the lasthet- year or so. david mcewen, thank you so much for your insight into this, it won't be the last you provided some very good insight. we appreciate it. >> 244 days, man. >> see you later. that's it. oh my goodness. >> but who's counting? right. all right, let's get back to the weather here a pretty amazing picture. wild weather continues

in parts of our state. caltrans shared this video of a semi truck toppled by powerful winds down near death valley.úthis was along state route 395. in inyo county. drivers were reminded to slow down, keep both hands on the wheel, and leave a whole lot of space between you and the other cars becauseúof strong to? just feel, especially if you're in a higher profile vehicle. >> yeah, we all know that feeling when we drive over the bay bridge. i feel like i'm struggling to keep my car on the white line. exactly. all right. steve olson here. now he's watching the forecast for us. >> well, we still have rain, but it looks like it's winding down. but still not a bad little system here. again, if this were a dry year, this system wouldn't have done anything at all. but it's a rain year and boy did it achieve big time around san jose and even made it into the city. varney. morning rain. a quarter of an inch so far in the outer richmond and not over soggy dogs forever. i get it, i get the dogs don't want to go out in the rain. the city had .07 officially, but usually not far away. you can always find more rain and we did in the outer

richmond. this was all about you. san jose. you know, usually san jose is the but not this ti. 109 one inch and nine inches west san jose near blossom hill, two thirds bonny doon, santa cruz mountains almost 6/10 san jose airport, which has a terrible drive bias half inch of rain. los gatos hills, los gatos a third saratoga quarter of an inch and crystal springs reservoir, beautiful crystal springs reservoir on the peninsula at 6100, this is the upper low. you can see it right here. right there. it's going to it's called a cut off low. it's cut off from the main jet stream. and they are a bear to forecast. but it's moving south. so that's taking a lot of this moisture with it. so there is a no doubt about it. back end of this but still made it into marin county. kentfield had i think a quarter inch had a thire most rain i saw in 24 hours was at mount tamalpais, at three oakland, 15 100. sunnyvale had a quarter inch of rain, along the peninsula, half moon bay, about a quarter of an inch. but the heaviest amounts, without question, were around san jose, willow glen, the almaden valley blossom hill, back over towards campbell, los gatosúand into the santa cruz mountains. but watch

here. see are see, there's a back edge. so we're about done here. but this is a pretty good morning event. the low kicks out head south to southern california. takes the turn into arizona. we will get a break thursday friday more clouds on the weekend and another system on the way. if it isn't monday, it will be tuesday when it's a rain year. be careful to take systems out or to say their week. be careful. rain south to north, but it looks like it's about over here. so 60s on the temps. we do though. have good news if you want sunshine and warmer temps starting thursday friday for sure. but then a lot of cloud cover rolls back in on the weekend. >> thank you steve. it's now 842. a police pursuit ends in a crash, leaving one officer injured coming up on the nine live in hayward with an update on the officer's condition and what led to the chase. >> dozens of contracted google employees are disputing the company's claims that their contract terminations were preplanned. why they think they were laid off instead

board of supervisors. she's running against millbrae city council member alan schneider. the latest numbers show that speer is 68% of the votes here in schneider, with 32% of the vote. now, this is not a primary election, and any candidate over

50% wins this race. speer served on the board of supervisors from 1980 to 1986, before winning seats in the state legislature and eventually moving on to congress. two seats are up in different alameda county districts in district four, jennifer stein is running against longtime county supervisor nate miley. the seat on the board of supervisors represents castro valley. most of pleasanton, and large parts right now with 63, while stein has 37. the other supervisor seat is district five, which represents parts of berkeley, oaklandúand emeryville. oakland city council member nikki fortunato bass is in the lead here, with emeryville city council member john bowers coming in second, but only by a handful of votes. mail-in spballots may end up deciding ts race in these county supervisor elections, a candidate with over 50% of the vote wins the seat. 847 right now, the head of the federal reserve is answering questions on capitol hill. >> he's speaking on the us economy and interest rates. but

there have been also attempts to get him to talk politics on the super wednesday. pam cook is back in studio here with us in dollars and cents. yes it's been very interesting. not surprising since it's an election year, many representatives are asking the fed chief to weigh in on immigration and who's to blame for inflation. but jerome powell has steered the conversation to return to policy. he has indicated this morning that the assessing the economic data as it comes in, to start bringing interest rates down most likely this year. no specifics on when, but he does say the economy has made considerable progress and that inflation has eased substantially in the last year. as the opening bell rang this morning,úfootlocker stock dropped 27% after a disappointing quarterly report, analysts point out price cuts hurt margins, but foot locker contends it does have a long terme plan that includes new formats for its stores and investing in technology to enhance the customer experience. taking you live to the new york stock exchange now, numbers have

you can see that the bridge traffic is okay. look at san jose though. if you're not at ye goes caltrain. this is pretty much what you're seeing onc evey south bay freeway 1785 101 the expressways. so if you're watching at home and you don't want to deal with this, you may want to wait a little later or, you know, put, you know, rearrange your schedule to avoid the roads if you can. 851 the commute lets me down sometimes, but beer has never let me down. steve >> thank you. luke combs right, sal? i think he nailed it. that's right. yes. yes, sir. that's a good one. all right. our system c theygre called cut& off lows because they're cut off from the main branch of the jet stream. you see anything out there now? now there's a lot south. look at all that moisture streaming heading into arizona and the four corners. butúour little system right here is making its move now south. so the rain line has a back edge to itn but this was no doubt about it. an overachiever stopped in about marin county and then kind

of fell apart. still some soaking rain south city 16 121/100 in the outer richmond, about a quarter inch and a half moon bay. but it was really san jose, half inch to one inch amounts being reported. blossom hill, almaden valley, west san jose but it does look like it's ending now, so we'll see a decrease in this rain. cloudy morning, cool rain south and north, but morning rain decreasing, then mostly cloudy. i think we'll get some sun breaks as the low drive southward. 60s on the temps. speaking of getting a break tomorrow we start one warmer temps on friday, but don't get used to it. more clouds roll in on the weekend. you guys. >> thank you. steve march is colorectal cancer awareness month. so when you join us on the nine we'll talk live with a doctor as we uncover the critical importance of early detection and prevention. >> former nickelodeon child star is expected to go public with his account of sexual abuse at the hands of a man who
