opposed to spring showers giving you a live look here across the bay where wow could see a little bit of sunshine there. we're going to have partly sunny conditions as we get into sunset. that will increase the instability, and we also have a risk of thunderstorms. in fact, take a look at storm tracker two. you may notice right over monterey. we've got some lightning detected there. we've had some right off our coastline , and we have the risk of thunderstorms through the weekend. here's a view of what's going on across the southern half of the bay area, where we have rain falling over the santa cruz mountains, the diablo range to the east, scattered showers over the central bay, including the peninsula or the east bay where folks are on their way home. the roadways are slick to the north bay. we've got scattered showers there in the sierra snow again beginning to pile up 2 to 3ft, a possibility by the end of the weekend. and with that, there is a winter storm warning for folks that are traveling. it doesn't expire until sunday, 5:00 in the afternoon. meanwhile, for us, a wind advisory in addition to all

that wet weather, the winds are whipping around that rain coming in from the side at times. not sure if the umbrellas are working out there today. napa reporting a wind gust to 33. oakland 39 shifting to the central and south bay. we have a wind gust in palo alto at 26, sfo reporting 31. so that's a look at the current conditions. i'll have a better look at what we can expect for the weekend and how much rainfall we've seen today. coming up in just a little bit. >> all right. rosemary thanks. we'll see you soon. governor gavin newsom announced today that hundreds of cameras will be installed in oakland and the east bay to help crack down on crime. he says these cameras will be placed both on city streets and on state highways. our crime reporter, henry lee live at oakland office with details. henry >> now, these are license plate readers and cameras that will automatically alert law enforcement when a wanted vehicle happens to pass by. now, a lot of police departments already have this technology, but this will be on a much larger regional scale across oakland and the east bay. governor gavin newsom says hundreds of cameras that read

license plates will soon be in place in oakland and across the east bay, which will aid and support the efforts of law enforcement to focus on stolen vehicles. the governor made his announcement in a video recorded along hegenberger road in east oakland, a hot spot for burglaries. the camera system is from flock safety and one that's already used by many law enforcement agencies. the cameras take still photos of the backs of cars and not people or faces. from there, police can track down specific cars and potentially arrest suspects. >> this is proven technology, where privacy is foundational and a core component of the effort. this is building on efforts we made just a few weeks ago with a surge in california highway patrol 290 cameras will be on oakland city streets under the purview of oakland police, while 190 cameras will be set up on state highways in the east bay and monitored by the chp. >> images will be stored for 28 days, with many officers barred from chasing suspects in property crimes. supporters say these cameras will allow the

cops to catch up to them later. we also feel that big brother isn't watching enough that that, you know, my big brothers, they always looked out for me and i think that the ultimate big brother is our local police department. >> if it could help, address some of the immediate, you know, public safety issues around stolen vehicles and that kind of thing, i think, you know, hopefully it'll have it'll have an impact. >> others aren't so sure. >> the biggest unknown question is whose rules are we playing by? >> brian hofer is chair of the city of oakland's privacy commission. he questions whether the chp's privacy standards will be the same as oakland's. >> i know my opinion is in the minority, that people are acting based on fear, and also an unproven, misguided belief that these cameras are going to solve all our problems. they won't. james birch of the anti police terror project says money could be better spent elsewhere instead of these cameras. >> could we have, you know, professionals doing their work in the community to prevent violence? you know, those are the costs that we're seeing here on the streets in the city of

oakland. >> now, it's unclear where these cameras might be placed, but we've learned that installation could begin as early as 30 days and the system might be fully operational as early as this fall. live in oakland henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> we'll wait to see the impact of these cameras. henry. thank you. a freeway shooting caught on video on interstate 880 in union city. a suspect has been arrested. the victim told the chp he was driving on 880 northbound near alvarado-niles road. and someone in a green toyota sedan shot out his window during a road rage incident yesterday afternoon. police say the victim is okay but was injured by that broken glass. the suspect was found within 24 hours during a search of the suspect's home. police say they found two guns and a large amount of ammunition, and a welfare check took a violent turn in san jose today when a man opened fire on police offirs. >> policeere called to the area of ross and lee avenues for a welfare check around 5:00 this morning near d'aw park, east of

south bascom avenue. officers arrived and found a man holding a gun outside a home. they tried negotiating with him, but he fired at least one shot at them. police then returned fire. no one was hit, and after about 90 minutes of negotiating, the suspect surrendered and was taken into custody in san francisco. police are still searching for suspects in a deadly shooting outside of powell street. bart station. it happened around 930 thursday night. they're responding. officers found one person who'd been shot and was pronounced dead at the plaza. police say they did not. they did find a gun, but no arrests have been made. >> a group of pro-palestinian protesters rallied along san francisco's embarcadero today outside a u.s. naval ship named after civil rights leader harvey milk. dozens of demonstrators gathered outside pier 32, blocking traffic. they claimed the ship is headed for gaza to provide support for israel. a navy spokesperson refuted that claim, saying the ship is headed directly to norfolk, virginia, where it will not be deployed for at least a year. those

rallies remained peaceful and no arrests were made. but then some protests scaled the fence and approached the ship, calling, chaining themselves to the gangway. officers did step in and remove those protesters using bolt cutters to cut the chains. it is not clear how many arrests were made. that protest coming shortly after a welcome ceremony aboard the vessel, the usns harvey milk is the first navy ship to be named after an openly gay person, and one of six named after civil rights pioneers. milk served in the navy before coming to san francisco, achieving the rank of lieutenant junior grade. he later became the first openly gay elected official in california. >> though harvey milk distinguished himself as a naval officer. >> unfortunately, like so many others who served our nation in uniform, he had to hide a very important part of himself as he served. and for far too long, sailors like lieutenant milk were forced into shadows. or worse yet, forced out of the navy. >> the usns harvey milk is part

of a class of ships that will provide fuel and cargo to navy warships. >> new at five. for the first time, we're hearing from the plaintiffs behind a lawsuit aimed at the city of san francisco over conditions in the tenderloin district. ktvu christien kafton joins us live. and, kristen, these residents say they want the city to make a decisive action to put an end to open air drug markets and homeless encampments. is that right? >> yeah. crystal, those residents say it doesn't seem fair to them. they say that they pay their taxes like everyone else, but they say they don't get to enjoy the safe, clean streets that other san francisco residents do. conditions in san francisco's tenderloin are the ongoing center of debate, and now the center of a lawsuit filed last week. residents and hotels in the area say the city hasn't done enough to improve street conditions and filed a suit in federal court, saying while they pay their taxes, they don't get the same services that other city residents receive. several of the residents chose

to remain anonymous but are speaking out now for the first time about what it's like living in the tenderloin. >> it is dangerous to come outside. i work three days a week. i have to walk two blocks up where there's drug, drugs. going around in drug dealers. this resident is raising two children in the tenderloin and says it's not fair that they have to live in a dangerous neighborhood. all i'm asking for is just one thing security. >> the attorney representing the plaintiff says the city has allowed the tenderloin to sink into chaos. and it's a little bit more than that, because there's evidence that the city has treated this neighborhood as the containment zone. >> this is where the city has directed this activity, with the hope, apparently, if we can contain it to the tenderloin, then maybe it won't spread to other neighborhoods. >> san francisco city attorney david chu says everyone in the city deserves safe and clean streets, and that san francisco is making a good faith effort working with state and federal law officials to clear the

tenderloin. all that, despite battling an injunction it says is hampering the effort. >> the city has spent significant effort to reduce crime to disrupt open air drug dealing and address homelessness, all within the boundaries of the injunction that we are under. >> the residents said they were worried when they initially heard that the city had asked that their identities be revealed, saying they've already been threatened by drug dealers about coming forward. they say they're worried that having their identities revealed would be dangerous. >> what is going to happen? what's going to happen is that those people, they have threatened me to kill me. it's basically i'm not going to wake up the next morning. >> the city attorney says anonymous plaintiffs are unusual, and that the plaintiffs attorney didn't initially file the request properly. once that paperwork was filed, the city attorney's office says it filed its own paperwork, saying it does not oppose them remaining anonymous, leaving the matter in the hands of the judge. >> the fact that they have refiled the motion reflects the fact that that first motion was inadequate. from our perspective, we don't want to

put any tenderloin residents in any harm's way. we're very sympathetic to the plight of what's happening to the tenderloin. >> now, the question of if those plaintiffs will be asked to publicly reveal their identities is now in the hands of that judge. if the judge decides they have to reveal their identity, their lawyer says some of them will likely drop out of that case to avoid the possibility of retribution. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> christian. thank you. in san francisco, police say they arrested dozens of wanted fugitives in a sweep in the tenderloin neighborhood. officers say they arrested 54 people on wednesday and seized 600g of narcotics during the multi-agency operation, 34 of those arrested had outstanding warrants. authorities with other city agencies also towed cars and impounded illegal food vending carts. police say these operations will continue for the foreseeable future around un plaza and other areas. >> a knife wielding man calls 911 on himself before officers shoot and kill him. coming up at

here. so you know, and i work a good job, but it's never enough out here, so it doesn't matter. they can get $20 an hour, but it's not going to make a difference. >> i don't think so. not out here. i think they need more than that to make it out here. i don't know. we'll see. >> former ed director and now employment lawyer at the duane morris law firm, says this about fast food prices. certainly there would be some price increases. >> we'll see just how extensive they are, and we'll see how they roll out over the next couple of months. >> not all fast food workers will get it. there's a lot of complexity in terms of which workers are covered and which establishments are covered. the restaurant must be in a chain of 60 restaurants or more nationwide. the restaurants cannot have table servers. the customers must pay for their food in advance. many exceptions include fast food at airports or restaurants that bake bread. >> we have a large number of workers in california who are

making, at minimum wage, or slightly above so many low wage workers may just quit for higher wages elsewhere. other sectors that have workers who are making less than $20 an hour are have expressed concern that their workers will leave those jobs and move to fast food restaurants again. we'll see. >> then there's the uaw effect. when the uaw won its strike, nonunion automakers started increasing wages so as not to lose their workers. so employers of low wage earners, such as long tum care certified nurse assistants, they're the very bedrock of long terme care, as well as other health care workers and retail workers may have to do the same. >> new regulations always have a lot of impacts that aren't expected, given that california's unemployment insurance fund is $20 billion in the red and automatic tax. >> to make that up goes to the employers and you are paying for it. tom vacar ktvu fox two news.
