on commuters and sightseers. plus mass. >> i'm going to need you to step out of the vehicle, take a pregnancy test. >> governor newsom launching this new abortion rights ad. the message running in one deep red state beginning today. then opening statements beginning in the so-called hush money trial of former president donald trump . he just is now seated in the courtroom. what he did on his way in, and why legal scholars say they're surprised by two of the jurors from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian and i'm claudine wong. >> today is monday, april 2nd, 22nd. it is earth day out there and, a beautiful morning shaping up. meteorologist rosemary oroczo kind of watching our temperatures for us. it was a gorgeous weekend, wasn't it? yes. so nice, so nice. it doesn't really last very long, right? >> big changes coming, ladies. big changes. you may even need the umbrella as we get into the coming days outside our doors. at this hour, it's a partly

cloudy start to the day. you can see a little bit of patchy fog out there as we take a view towards san francisco. high clouds overhead as well, and as we get into the afternoon, a low clouds will return to the coastline as well as an uptick in the onshore breeze. right now, the winds are light, even calm across the bay area. a pretty start to the day, with temperatures ranging from upper 40s to upper 50s. 46 right now at half moon bay, 54 in livermore and in the north bay 51 in napa. we are going to go above average once again for today, but we are going to be a little bit cooler than yesterday, especially closer to the coast and just inside the bay, where again, we begin to see a transition to that cooler pattern. 78 seven santa rosa for the afternoon, 71 in oakland, 79 for san jose. a better look at the afternoon highs for today and the cooling trend that kicks off coming up in just a little bit at 701. let's check on the slow and go out there this morning with sal. hi sal.

>> rosemary right now we still have some slow traffic on highway four. that's where we're going to start this time because of a much earlier crash on the willow pass grade. actually not that much earlier. about an hour ago, they removed it from the lanes, but the traffic is backed up all the way into pittsburgh, almost into antioch. as a result . also, looking at the bay bridge, you can see that traffic is backed up to the maze and golden gate bridge. we want to keep an eye on that. as you know, the no ferry service right now between sausalito and san francisco. we might expect more people to drive, but we haven't noticed anything. an uptick in the traffic. it still looks like it normally does, moving smoothly. 701 let's get back to the headlines. >> well, happening today, still no ferry service between san francisco and sausalito and still no word on when that service between the two cities will resume. ktvu james torres live at the ferry terminal in sausalito, where apparently busses are filling in for those ferries. james >> acosta good morning to you here. when you come up to the

ferry terminal and it's very obvious that, you know, need to be here, need to stay away from this point here. you see the caution tape that's blocking off some of the pier and several signs saying there's a service alert. that ferry is not happening right now. services are still suspended. and here's what they're telling us. right now. the pier here in sausalito. there's something wrong with that. so much so that the ferries can't dock here. and it's been that way since friday. that's when ferry officials say during a routine inspection, they found enough damage on the pier, enough to deem it unusable for the ferry to pick up. and drop people off. they say the damage led to a structural compromise of the pier, but we haven't really learned more details, more than that. still no word on what caused that damage, nor exactly what that damage is. but what we do know it's bad news for people who use the ferry on a regular basis, especially to commute to san francisco for work every morning . >> yeah, it makes it a lot harder. you know, we have a lot of people come and visit a lot of commuters that use it. a lot

of the tourists use it. we have a lot of tourists that come over on bikes and take the ferry back. you know, they're going to have to get on busses now, which is going to be really problematic. >> yeah. you hear the mention that the temporary solution here is the ferry service offering a bus bridge between the two cities via golden gate transit. they suggest you give yourself plenty of extra time if that is an option you plan to take. we'll take you back. live right out here at the ferry terminal. we start to see some of those busses showing up this morning. some people who are taking advantage of that this morning, this ferry service is announcing those bus bridges day by day without giving us much of a timeline for how long the service will be suspended. but officials say you can keep an eye on the ferries x account for any updates. we're live this morning in sausalito. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you james. a motorcyclist is in the hospital after a crash during a sideshow near oakland's lake merritt.

this was the scene around the crash about 6:00 yesterday evening at the intersection of grand avenue and perkins. sideshow participants on dirt bikes still driving through the area as police investigated the crash, in which a car reportedly hit a motorcycle. oakland police say as many as 50 dirt bikes and atvs were part of the sideshow. we still don't know if the motorcyclist who was injured was involved in those stunts. >> new housing will be unveiled in san jose today that supporters say will help address the homelessness crisis. the 130 unit complex is located not far from diridon station and is meant to help people who could have had trouble affording market rate housing. half of the units have been designated as permanent supportive housing, which will serve people on section eight vouchers. the remaining units will be restricted to households earning 50 to 60% of the area median income. today, the supreme court is hearing arguments in a landmark case on homelessness that could impact the bay area. it involves the city of grants pass, oregon. the high court will decide whether people can be cited and fined for sleeping

on the streets. the potential impact here in california is significant. a lawsuit over homelessness sweeps or homeless sweeps, rather in san francisco, is currently on hold pending a decision. in that case. >> so the breadth of the potential of the effect of this decision really, really is enormous in terms of the day to day lives of not only the homeless but the way people experience life in their own neighborhoods, in their on their own shopping streets, their own parks. >> advocates say this is the most important supreme court case to address homelessness. federal courts have previously ruled that outdoor sleeping and camping bans violate the constitution's eighth amendment, which prevents cruel and unusual punishment. >> it's cruel and unusual to tell a person who's homeless, who's sleeping outdoors that he has to move, he can't sleep there, or he's going to be arrested. it's a it's a it's an abuse of the constitution which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

>> governor gavin newsom filed a letter with the court supporting grants pass as part of a push for clarity on what local governments can do to confront the homelessness crisis. >> governor newsom is launching another ad campaign targeting abortion restrictions in red states, this time in alabama. >> we're almost there. you're gonna make it. >> mass. i'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle, take a pregnancy test. >> the ad is called the fugitive. it depicts a woman being arrested for trying to leave the state to get an abortion. it was created by the campaign for democracy, a political action committee created by governor newsom. it begins appearing today in alabama, where republicans have called for prosecuting women who travel out of state for an abortion, a plan to build a high speed rail system between southern california and las vegas is set to take a big step forward today. >> the company behind the brightline west is officially breaking ground today. construction was originally scheduled to start in 2020, but

then it was delayed by financing issues. the company says passengers will be able to get from la to vegas in less than three hours. when it's finished, and the goal is to be finished by the summer of 2028, in time for the olympics in la. >> time now is 707, and right now we do see a bunch of slowing on highway four caused by an earlier crash on the concord side of the willow pass grade. it's pulled off the lanes. it may still be visible there and causing people to slow down, and traffic is backed up just as you leave antioch and get into pittsburg, which is a lot longer than usual. bay bridge has a bigger backup as well, so it looks like finally, a lot of those spring breaks are over. we've been keeping an eye on the golden gate bridge just to see if there's any uptick in traffic. there has not been, with the sausalito ferry being out, it really hasn't affected traffic. and this is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. that looks pretty good. when we come back, we'll take a look more at

that silicon valley commute at 708. let's go back to the desk. thank you. >> sal happening today, earth day. some people are using the occasion to advocate for a plant based diet. demonstrators marched across the golden gate this weekend to promote a vegan lifestyle. members of the san francisco vegan society say that a plant based diet helps combat climate change. the group is also trying to pressure elected leaders to endorse the international plant based treaty, which would end subsidies to meat and dairy industries. >> we wanted to take this opportunity to ask people in celebration of earth day to give veganism a try. it really is the very best diet for the planet. oh yeah. >> the plant based treaty also seeks to halt the expansion of animal farms while restoring key ecosystems like. >> a dead whale off the alameda coast. what ktvu has learned about the plan to remove it from the water. >> opening statements are about to get underway in the first ever criminal trial against a us president with a former president, president trump said just minutes ago, as he walked into the courtroom

begin in a so-called hush money trial. ktvu. andre senior back in studio with what to expect. andre. >> well, gasia donald trump spoke to reporters in the hallway of the courtroom this morning complaining about having to be in court instead of out on

the campaign trail. >> this is done as election interference. everybody knows it. i'm here. instead of being able to be in pennsylvania and georgia and lots of other places campaigning, and it's very unfair. >> 12 jurors will decide whether or not donald trump falsified business records to cover up an alleged sex scandal during the 2016 presidential campaign. trump's legal team is expressing confidence as long as the jury focuses on the facts, as long as the jury can see through all the media coverage and all the sensation ism, and focus on the actual facts at issue in this case, we believe we have a winning case. the jury of seven men and five women include a software engineer and an english teacher and an investment banker. there are also two lawyers on the jury, which experts say is unusual. >> prosecutors notoriously don't like seating lawyers on juries precisely because they are independent thinkers who often think they know better than the

prosecutors do. >> i think it's not a good thing for a defendant because of the influence that can be exercised over the jury. >> i feel like it's. >> bloomberg reports that donald trump spent $4.9 million on legal fees last month, and has just $6.8 million left in the accounts he's been using to fund his lawyers. the trial is limiting trump's time on the campaign trail. he's required to be in court, and the trial is scheduled for four days a week, with only wednesdays left open. and experts say this trial could last for as long as two months. >> so the challenge for the trump campaign is how do you campaign in a situation like that, especially when a lot of the news coming out of the courtroom is bad for trump? >> the judge promising ruling this morning before opening statements and what prosecutors can bring up if trump testifies, which he has said he'd like to do now, several media outlets report that the first witness for the prosecution in the trial will be david pecker, the former publisher of the national enquirer. prosecutor say he helped cover up potential

damaging stories about trump ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign. claudine. >> all right. thank you. andre. well, this week, the supreme court will hear arguments on whether former president trump can claim immunity for any act committed while in office. past supreme court rulings held a president cannot be liable in civil cases, but the court has never weighed in on the question of criminal prosecution. in this case stems from trump's indictment over his role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election. >> columbia university has announced that all classes will be held virtually today, after days of protests at that school that have raised safety concerns for the university's jewish students. more than 100 people have been arrested since the pro-palestinian protest began last week on the school's campus in new york city. the university's president said in a statement that while classes are being held online, a working group of deans, university administrators and faculty members will try to bring this crisis to a resolution soon for jewish people around the world. passover begins at sundown

today. the holiday celebrates the exodus of the israelites from slavery in biblical egypt. but in israel, many people say this year there is little to celebrate with dozens of hostages taken from israel still held by hamas amid increasing tensions in the middle east. some relatives of the hostages set up a table in tel aviv with play settings for their missing family members in the last half a year. >> we are trying to get my sister out. >> with the recent attacks and counterattacks between israel and iran, israeli troops are now being positioned along the entire length of israel's borders. >> well, the $61 billion aid package for ukraine passed by the house over the weekend, is giving a morale boost to ukrainian soldiers. in part, the new aid will be direct military and humanitarian grants to the country, and it's also going to replenish the ammo stocks depleted in there after those rounds were sent to the ukraine. after weeks in recent weeks, ukrainian troops have been forced to withdraw from the

front lines as they've been running low on ammo and other supplies. that's the question of life and death. >> so from humanitarian point of view, this decision will help to save, i think, thousands of lives plus, it gives a chance for ukraine to continue the fight. >> the senate could vote on the aid package as soon as tomorrow. president biden has promised to sign it immediately. well, the charles schultz airport in sonoma county is hiring more staff, and that's ahead of an increase in service next month. now, there are reports that dozens of workers are being hired before avelo airlines opens its new base at that airport on may 1st. that expansion will double its routes to kalispell, montana. boise, idaho. salem, oregon. and pasco, washington. and less than a week later, american airlines is planning to resume its seasonal service to dallas, switching from a smaller plane to a larger airbus jet. >> 717 let's run out to the traffic center, see what sal

castaneda is keeping his eye on today. sal. >> all right, garcia and claudine, right now we do see the east bay traffic is pretty filled in almost everywhere, so there's not a holiday. looks like all the spring breaks are over. if i'm just judging by what i see on the traffic bay bridge backed up to the mays metering lights are on. we've been keeping a close eye on the golden gate bridge, so far. it hasn't been affected at seemingly by any of that ferry service. not going. some people are using a bus instead. this is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. that looks okay. san mateo bridge traffic is moderately heavy now. we've also been keeping an eye on some of the south bay commutes, and those commutes are still looking pretty good. there's some slowing on 101 and two, 80 and 85, but as you can see, it's not filled in quite yet. and maybe it won't be for another 30 or 40 minutes or so. we'll keep an eye on it for you. 718 let's talk about today's weather. here's rosemary. >> all right sal good morning. happy monday, happy earth day. we have a beautiful forecast for you. we will be above average

once again, although not quite as warm for many folks as the low clouds and the onshore breeze expected to return later today. a live look there over parts of the city of san francisco and inside the bay. a little bit of patchy fog. we had high clouds overhead earlier this morning, but now we can see some blue sky as well. storm tracker two here. ridge is going to be pushed aside by a trough that begins to settle in. here's a look at the future cast, stopping it for you tomorrow morning. there's a look at the low well off the coastline, but you can see along the coastline a lot of fog and clouds out there. again, the onshore breeze will return, as well as the possibility of patchy drizzle in the coming days. wednesday looks to be a partly sunny, mostly cloudy day, then thursday into friday, a second trough dropping in. and take a look at that. we've got blue not only over the pacific northwest, but parts of california as well, calling for a slight chance of scattered

showers in the forecast for us thursday into friday, and the sierra could get 1 to 2, maybe three inches of snow. here's a look into friday, where we're not expecting much out of this, but enough to get us wet. so a little bit of patchy drizzle for the week ahead, as well as scattered showers by thursday night and friday. temperatures across the bay area at this time 55 degrees in san francisco for the inner east bay, 60 in brentwood and 59 san jose for the afternoon. today. low clouds at the coast and temperatures on the cool side in pacifica 60 expected for you there. a mid to upper 60s in san francisco. low to mid upper 70s around the bay in our inland cities, enjoying low 80s once again. concord, livermore. the extended forecast. the cooling trend kicks off today, but the bigger drop will come tomorrow. upper 50s at the coast. upper 60s around the bay and 70 degrees inland. even a little bit cooler. wednesday, thursday, friday, leaving in that possibility of just a bit of wet

weather. thursday into friday. and then we are dry and mild for the weekend, with temperatures for inland cities upper 60s to low 70s. back to you, rosemary. >> thank you. 720 now a library in solano county facing a cyber attack while people visiting that library in vallejo, fairfield and other cities won't be able to use the wi-fi. and what the hackers are demanding. >> and a suspect is now in custody for the break in at the home of the los angeles mayor. why? neighbors say they still have concerns despite that arrest

the federal election commission against district 16 congressional frontrunner sam liccardo and his campaign. the complaint accuses liccardo of using super pac money to pay for a recount of the march primary. election results, in order to avoid a three person race in the november election. >> when we're talking about third party money, when we're talking about super pac money, federal campaign laws require that there not be coordinated in between those super pacs and a candidate, the complaint says. >> liccardo used a poll from april 8th that showed his campaign would be vulnerable in a three way race. in the next day, a former liccardo staff member requested a recount. it also says the recount was paid for by the ctv pac, which is the association that says was formed

by people close to liccardo. well, liccardo's campaign released a statement in response to that complaint, saying in part, this complaint filed by a supporter of one of sam liccardo's political opponents lacks any evidence and cites a poll in which sam liccardo wins a general election by over 5. >> san francisco mayor london breed is back in the bay area this morning following a week long trip to china. her trip included stops in beijing and shanghai. it was meant to boost tourism to her city and strengthen economic ties with chinese cities and companies. the mayor met with the heads of three chinese airlines and secured an agreement to bring pandas to the san francisco zoo. >> we were truly successful in our trip. we had numerous meetings with government officials with airlines, and with business leaders. we held a business forum of people who have interest in not only doing business in san francisco, but investing in san francisco right now, flights to china out of sfo are at 50% of their pre-pandemic

levels. >> new flights would create a lot of revenue for the airport. as for the pandas, mayor breed said she expects them to arrive at the zoo as soon as paperwork is filed, and that and accommodations are made. all that could take up to one year. los angeles police have arrested a person accused of breaking into the home of mayor karen bass on sunday. police say someone smashed a window and entered the home at around 640 in the morning. mayor bass and her family were home at the time of the break in. officers responded and arrested the person without issue. neighbors say they're worried and add they hope the burglary wasn't politically motivated. >> i don't even know if they would have realized it was the mayor's house, per se, but i hope it was just sort of more innocent and a result of someone's mental illness. even if it was targeted, i they must have been somewhat ill because they would expect somebody would catch them pretty fast. >> no one inside the home was injured. it's not clear if anything was stolen. lapd says this is an ongoing investigation. >> well, disneyland is replacing some of its lampposts at that theme park. more on the incident

that prompted the park to switch out lighting at the pirates of the caribbean attraction. plus, the rocky road is to be here and we. >> what i see now, people. >> i mean, was this the soundtrack of our youth growing up in the bay, plotting. all right, the heart of rock and roll beats on from the bay area to broadway. starting today, the songs of huey lewis and the news. like you've never heard him before. and a quick reminder to you that you can now stream ktvu news on your smart tv. >> you can watch live newscasts and stories on demand on your vizio smart tv, your amazon fire tv, roku, apple tv or android tv. just search for that fox local app and select tvu.

dozen visitors are injured on a tram at universal studios will tell you what investigators believe caused that crash. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> and good morning to you. welcome to mornings on two. i'm claudine wong i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it is tuesday, april 22nd. this weekend was marvelous. rosemary was the sort of no ac,

no heat needed. however, that can't last forever. >> this is true. and we are with a cool down on the horizon. garcia and claudine, good morning to you. happy earth day, everybody outside our doors at this hour. partly cloudy skies, a little bit of patchy fog. we started out with high clouds, but now seeing that blue sky out there, our temperatures range from upper 40s near half moon bay this morning to upper 50s in areas like antioch. as we get into your noon hour, about 60 degrees at the coast, nearing 70 for inland cities, and then into the afternoon, it's going to be a cool one along the coast, with the low clouds expected to return and the onshore breeze. but our inland cities away from the coast will be just as warm as yesterday. the cool down will continue though, into the days ahead. a better look at today and what we can expect in the extended forecast coming up in just a bit as 731. let's check the latest on traffic this morning with sal. good morning. >> good morning to you rosemary. right now we do have a nice looking commute here on some of

the drives. and others are very crowded and crowded at the bay bridge. it is backed up to the maze so i wouldn't say that's nice looking, although it is typical 880 though if you're driving into downtown oakland still looks okay from san leandro. and if you're driving to the san mateo bridge, that's moderately heavy. no problems there. 24 westbound. i just wanted to pop that up. it's moderately heavy, and we've been keeping an eye on the south bay commute that is getting more filled in as you drive to the west valley. no major problems, however. northbound 87 near curtner there is a crash as you drive up toward downtown. 7.31 let's go back to the headlines. all right. >> thank you sal. well, people in alameda this weekend came across a disturbing sight. a large gray whale found dead near the shore at crown beach. scientists are hoping that they can start work as early as today to find out how that whale died. ktvu ali rasmus joins us live from alameda crown beach. this morning with details. good morning. ali >> good morning claudine. well, part of the challenge with

figuring out what happened to the whale, why it died and how it ended up here is the fact that it never washed up to shore for much of the weekend. >> since it was discovered on saturday evening, it was sort of stuck on a sandbar in the middle of the water, visible from the shore, and certainly people on the shoreline were able to see and smell the carcass over the weekend. but now, as you can see, the tide is in. and according to scientists from the marine mammal center, they tell us up until yesterday, the carcass of this 40 foot long female gray whale had been stuck. but overnight it dislodged from the mud and that sandbar. and now it is free floating with the tide somewhere in the bay. so we can't see it from the shore anymore. the issue here is that scientists haven't been able to do a necropsy just yet, although scientists from the california academy of sciences were able to gather some samples from the whale's blubber when the carcass was closer to the shoreline over the weekend. but the plan is to at some point tow the carcass to angel island state park.

>> what we'll do once we get the whale to a point where we can conduct an animal autopsy called a necropsy, we will open it up and look for broken bones and hemorrhaging to see if the animal suffered a blunt force trauma from a vessel strike. oak >> the most common causes of whale deaths in general are boat strikes, getting entangled in netting, and poor nutrition. but so far, scientists with the california academy of sciences say there are no initial signs that this whale in particular suffered any of those problems. again, they have to do a necropsy to determine what actually happened. we've reached out to east bay regional park district, which operates alameda crown beach, as well as the coast guard and the army corps of engineers. those entities are supposed to be helping scientists tow the whale carcass where it is somewhere in the bay over to angel island state park.

in order to do that work and determine how this whale died. it is the first reported whale death in the bay area so far this year. live in alameda. ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> ali thank you. hundreds of people helped raise money for two brothers who were attacked by a mountain lion in el dorado county. people gathered at a brewery in the community of camino to support them. the brothers were out looking for antlers last month in a remote wooded area when the mountain lion attacked them, 21 year old talon brooks was killed. his brother wyatt was seriously injured. >> the horrible thing that happened, and it's a way that people can do something to help and they really come out and come together. >> all the money raised will go to support the family. wyatt is expected to make a full recovery. >> a studio backlot tour tram at universal studios theme park in los angeles crashed over the weekend, sending 15 people to the hospital with minor injuries. the last car on that four car tram crashed into a guardrail that caused the tram to tilt and several passengers

fell out. it's still not clear what caused that tram to crash. the tram tour is a popular attraction at the theme park, featuring a one hour behind the scenes look at that backlot, where several famous television shows and movies were filmed. now, as a precaution, disneyland is replacing lampposts in some areas of the amusement park. high winds knocked down one of the posts last year and injured three visitors. the pole fell into a flowerbed near the disneyland flagpole that's used for stage lighting and parades. lamp posts are now being switched out at the jolly holiday restaurant and the pirates of the caribbean attraction. >> drivers in the santa cruz mountains could face slowdowns today because of emergency repairs on highway 17 near scotts valley. caltrans is shutting down a lane in each direction near crescent drive to repair the barrier there, in the middle of the highway. the closure is set to start at 930, should last until 230 this afternoon. caltrans is telling drivers to expect up to 15 minute delays. five vta stations in santa clara county will be closing later this week for repairs. starting wednesday morning, the agency will close the mountain view, whisman,

middlefield, bayshore, nasa and moffett park light rail stations. the transit agency will be providing busses to many vta riders affected by the closure. stations are expected to reopen by sunday. >> all right. time now is 736. time to go back to those roads and see how they're treating us on this monday morning commute, sal. all right. >> we have a trouble spot there. claudine and garcia in san jose on northbound 87, right at the on the guadalupe parkway near curtner. there's been a crash and getting into downtown san jose. don't let this surprise you. other commutes are also going to be busy, and it does get busier from 730 on in the silicon valley commute. bay bridge has been busy since about 6 a.m, so that's a much longer time. it's backed up from the maze metering lights are on. we're hoping for improvement in the 8:00 hour. and if you're looking at interstate 880, in oakland, that traffic is moderate. it's beginning to get a little bit busier, though as you drive into downtown oakland. 737 let's go back to rosemary, who is doing today's weather.

>> all right, sal, thank you very much. good morning to all of you. happy monday. we do have changes coming our way today. it will be subtle. tomorrow a bigger deal. i'll give you a look at that coming up here in just a moment. giving you a view over san francisco. a little bit of patchy fog to start the morning and we do have sun shining over the bay area. we had some high clouds earlier this morning and wow, it was a gorgeous sunrise. but at this time we're calling for partly cloudy skies. we will turn mostly cloudy later today along the coastline right now. calm conditions livermore mountain view sfo just a very gentle breeze, but the onshore onshore breeze will be strengthening later today as well. so the transition begins today. by tomorrow we all are feeling it 53 degrees right now in san francisco, mid 50s in walnut creek, 61 for you brentwood. so it is a mild start to the day for many of us. here's a look at the future cast by the afternoon today. notice clouds along the

coastline by sunset. i think these low clouds will be pulling into the bay. perhaps into the north bay as well. and then tomorrow morning we have clouds, fairly widespread drizzle, a possibility into the afternoon. we'll call for partly cloudy at the coast. mostly clear for the rest of us, but right now it looks like wednesday could be a pretty cloudy day as well. in addition to the clouds making a comeback, we are expecting the onshore breeze to turn on later today. 60 degrees at pacifica still above average for most of us. 70 around the bay. low 80s inland. not likely to feel the onshore breeze nor see the clouds in areas like concord and livermore for today. but by tomorrow again, those things start to change. a better look in the extended forecast, which includes the possibility of drizzle and a few sprinkles. more on that coming up. >> former first lady michelle obama goes undercover. why she

tried to sneak into a target store this weekend. let's run out to our newsroom. >> say hello again to andre senior. as you look to the next hours of mornings on two. >> good morning. a nationwide health warning issued for ground beef. while agriculture officials are urging customers to check their freezers and why a recall was not issued. and later on the night, a groundbreaking proposal could change the way you wait in airport security lines, we will explore the bipartisan effort to regulate expedited screening company clear at airports across california. stay with us norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. i gotta get this deal... that's like $20 a month per unlimited line...

all of us will come tomorrow though. the winds right now hayward, mountain view, palo alto and livermore reporting those calm conditions and temperatures at this hour ranging from low 50s in san francisco to mid 60s in brentwood, san jose, reporting 62. so we're going to bring temperatures down just slightly, especially along the coastline just inside the bay. but our inland communities going to be well above average once again for today. 79 expected for san jose. a better look at these numbers and what we can expect in the days ahead, including the possibility of a little bit of rain in the extended forecast coming up. it is 8:00. let's see how the highways are doing at this time with sal. good morning. >> good morning rosemary. right now we do have a pretty decent commute at the bay bridge for this time. it's only just after eight and we're getting improvement already. i can see that. so probably by 830, maybe even sooner, we're going to have it clear out now. it was busy earlier. as you look at 880 it is getting slower past san leandro. and we do have traffic

off from here at the normal ferry departure times, we saw about eight people take the bus around 7:00 this morning. some people who rely on the bus or rather the ferry, to get into san francisco on a regular basis , say getting used to the bus service might be hard. >> it's going to be a total drag. i mean, the ferry is, it's really easy and it's for me. parking in the city is so expensive and just commuting. i love it just drops you off. and you're right, you know, you're right in the financial district. >> and now the question is, how long will this take? crews say repairs on the pylons already started over the weekend, and they should get it back up open by the end of this week. so your options are at this point to take that bus bridge or considering using the ferry terminal at the larkspur terminal. it's about 15 minutes away from where we are. you can also keep an eye on those updates posted on the ferry services ex account. we're live this morning from sausalito. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news james thank you.

trial is scheduled four days a week, with only wednesdays left open and experts say this trial could last for as long as two months. this week, the high court will hear arguments on whether former president trump can claim immunity for any act committed while in office. past supreme court rulings held a president can't be liable in civil cases, but the court has never weighed in on the question of criminal prosecution. the case stems from trump's indictment over his role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election, happening today, new housing will be unveiled in san jose, a 130 unit complex is located not far from diridon station. >> it's meant to help people who can't afford market rate housing . half the units have been designated as permanent supportive housing, which will serve people on section eight vouchers. the remaining units will be restricted to households earning 50 to 60% of the area's median income. >> housing activists in san pablo say they have gathered enough signatures 1500 signatures, in fact, to get renter protections on the ballot in november. they plan to present those to the city tomorrow. the package would include rent stabilization,

residential solar projects. now the grants are expected to serve more than 900,000 households in low and middle income communities. biden also announced plans to expand his american climate corps program, which prepares young workers for jobs in climate related fields. >> a bill to get rid of a testing requirement, earn a teaching credential is moving through the state legislature. if passed, it would mean teacher candidates would no longer have to take the california teaching performance assessment. the test requires that teachers demonstrate their competence in the classroom by submitting video clips and a 40 to 50 page portfolio of documentation. the california teachers association says eliminating the test would increase the number of credentialed teachers in our state. >> 808 now it's monday and if you're dreading that upcoming zoom meeting, i can fill in for you with a digital clone of yourself. the tech company called delphi ai, and it's been touted as the world's first digital cloning platform. the company says clones can mimic the user's thoughts and speech and take as little as an hour to

create. officials say it can allow professional experts to reach many more people than they could on their own. users must have a photo id to prevent impersonations of others. >> time now is 808, and we have been looking at some improvement for the commute for sure. let's go to highway four. remember, we had that long backup caused by an earlier crash that's been taken care of. golden gate bridge has never really had a problem despite the ferry being down in sausalito. i didn't see any additional traffic to speak of on the golden gate bridge. bay bridge toll plaza improving so we might see complete improvement by 830. and this morning's commute on 880 in oakland is slow. it's backing up just right near san leandro, right near the marina exit, and it stays below the speed limit all the way to downtown oakland. san mateo bridge is much better, and let's take a quick look at highway 24. i still see some

congestion there in lafayette. it does get better by the time you reach orinda. 809. let's get back to the desk. >> well, a great whale found dead near alameda crown beach. the potential plan scientists and engineers have to remove it from the water. >> california's leading the way in eco friendly living. the new study revealing the greenest cities on the west coast, though a quick reminder that you can now stream ktvu news on your smart tv, watch our live newscasts and get stories on demand on your amazon fire tv, roku, apple tv or android tv. just search f the fox local

some homelessness that could impact the bay area. it involves the city of grants pass, oregon. the high court will decide whether people can be cited and fined for sleeping on the streets. the potential impact in california is significant to a lawsuit over homeless sweeps in san francisco, currently on hold , pending a decision on this case. >> so the breadth of the potential of the effect of this decision really, really is enormous in terms of the day to day lives of not only the homeless but the way people experience life in their own

neighborhoods, in their on their own shopping streets, their own parks. >> advocates say this is the most important supreme court case to address homelessness. federal courts have previously ruled that banning outdoor sleeping and camping violates the constitution's eighth amendment, which prevents cruel and unusual punishment. >> it's cruel and unusual to tell a person who's homeless, who's sleeping outdoors that he has to move, he can't sleep there or he's going to be arrested. it's a it's a it's an abuse of the constitution which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. >> julie haener gavin newsom filing a letter with the court supporting grants pass as part of a push for clarity on what local governments can do to confront the homeless crisis, governor newsom has launched another ad targeting abortion restrictions in red states, this time in alabama. >> we're almost there. you're gonna make it. mass. >> i'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle, take a pregnancy test.

>> the ad depicts a woman being arrested for trying to leave the state to get an abortion. was created by the campaign for democracy, a political action committee created by governor newsom. begins airing today in alabama, where republicans have called for prosecuting women who travel out of state for abortion services. >> today, vice president kamala harris travels to wisconsin, where she'll meet with nursing home care workers and announce new federal regulations requiring nursing homes to have minimum staffing levels. current law only requires that nursing homes have significant or significant staffing. the new rules set a minimum number of a set, a minimum number of hours that staff members spend with residents. they also require a registered nurse to be available around the clock at the facilities. >> san francisco mayor london breed is back in the bay area this morning following a week long trip to china. her trip included stops in beijing and shanghai. it was meant to boost tourism to the city and strengthen economic ties with chinese cities and companies. the mayor met with the heads of three chinese airlines and secured an agreement to bring pandas to the san francisco zoo.

>> we were truly successful in our trip. we had numerous meetings with government officials with airlines, and with business leaders. we held a business forum of people who have interest in not only doing business in san francisco, but investing in san francisco. >> right now, flights to china out of sfo are at 50% of their pre-pandemic levels. new flights would create a lot of revenue for the airport. as for the pandas, mayor breed says they could arrive as soon as early next year. >> a new study ranking the top ten green cities for u.s. homebuyers found that five of them are here in california, san francisco and oakland, both landing in the top half of that list. san francisco at three and oakland at five. rounding out the bottom half, sacramento, san diego and san jose. the study ranking each city based off of criteria including affordability, sustainability and climate policy. >> 816 let's get out the door here. it's a busy one in some spots, right, sal, that's right.

but some things are improving. garcia and andre and i think you're going to like what you see here when i show you the bay bridge. it's improved by 830. we should not have a backup here. this has become a new trend where it gets busy early, but then it improves in case you want to hit the city one day after 830. it seems to be somewhat of a reliable trend. of course, you're taking the risk that something could happen on the bridge at that point, but right now nothing is. this is a look at interstate 880. you can see that traffic is busy. san mateo bridge has completely improved when you get to the peninsula. highway 101 is just moderately heavy. nothing to worry about. i'm kind of looking through the pictures to see if i see some slowing highway 24 has also improved, so things are improving. this is a look at the south bay commute. it seems to me it's just a touch lighter. we still have a crash northbound 87 at curtner. it's out of the lanes, but it's still causing some slow traffic. if you have an extra half hour or so and you want to just kind of put it off, or perhaps take that first

meeting at home, i'm pretty sure this is going to completely clear up within the next hour. it's 817. let's talk about today's weather. here's rosemary all right sal, good morning to you. >> happy monday everybody. we have another beautiful one coming our way. by the second half of the afternoon we will begin to see that transition to a cooler pattern. and i'll show you what i mean here in just a moment. first a look at san francisco. isn't that a beautiful view? there you can see the golden gate bridge. in the distance you can see a little bit of patchy fog. you can also see the depth of the marine layer. it's not even above the bridge towers there. so very, very shallow that will change in the coming days. here's a look at storm tracker two. ridge still in control of our weather pattern, but it is breaking down today and we're already beginning to see some cloud cover form over areas near monterey. it's going to push its way into the bay area by the afternoon, and the onshore breeze is expected to be a little bit stronger as well. so second half of today into tonight, expect the low clouds

along the coast. and i think by sunset we'll begin to see those low clouds pull into the bay. and parts of the north bay as well. with all that said, only a minor drop in temperatures coming today, because by the time all this comes into fruition, most of the afternoon will already be underway. we do have tomorrow morning. now in view this low here off the coastline, helping to just enhance the marine layer as well as the onshore breeze and continue the drop in our temperatures. so tomorrow expected to be a bigger drop, especially inland where most of our inland cities today, especially the inner east bay, not going to feel much change. you're going to be just as warm today as yesterday into wednesday. a little bit more cloud cover. patchy drizzle will be with us as well, especially along our heels, our coastal hills and along the coast. this trough will begin to push out. right now it looks like by about thursday morning, but right on its heels, a second one moves in and this one even bringing with it the possibility of some wet

weather. as you can see here over the pacific northwest and into california. not going to be much, but could actually bring 1 to 2in of snow to the sierra by friday afternoon. and for us, we could see a few 107 inch by friday as well. so that's what's coming down the road. what's happening outside right now? it's mild and we do have calm conditions. our temperatures this morning up by a few degrees in most areas, even up by seven degrees in livermore, where you are 58 right now, 57 in the city of san francisco. so for the afternoon, a cool 60 degrees along the coastline, but low 80s once again for our inland cities and around the bay, a lot of 70s, upper 60s expected for san francisco this afternoon. but by game time later today at oracle park, 58 degrees, partly cloudy skies, a west breeze to 15mph is going to be a brisk one out at oracle park for that evening game. there's a look at the bigger drop in temperatures tomorrow. our inland cities now

only to about 70 degrees and into the coming days. upper 50s at the coast to upper 60s inland. wednesday, thursday, friday a slight chance for scattered showers right about in here and then we are dry and we are mild for the weekend. back to you. >> thank you. rosemary. san francisco's kicked off its second i love tenderloin week. the week is dedicated to celebrating an often maligned part of the city and meant to bring attention to the neighborhood's small businesses and diverse food offerings. we spoke with the director of the boys and girls club in the tenderloin about why organizers brought the event back this year. >> things that happened the first time around that we had to run it back, right? there's a lot of pride in the tenderloin. there's a lot of businesses and, you know, for us, we see this as a great opportunity to also help change the perception of the tenderloin, there's no neighborhood that is defined by some of its hardest, situations than the tenderloin. and it's unfortunate because there's so many great things that's happening here. >> the event runs through saturday, april 27th. for more

time, ranging from low 50s in santa rosa to near 60 degrees in concord and even upper 60s reported farther inland. by noontime, low 60s at the coast to about 70 degrees inland, and for the second part of the day, going several degrees above average once again, especially for our inland cities in the low 80s. meanwhile along the coastline, the clouds will join and the onshore breeze will pick up a better look at what we can expect for today and that cooling trend that will continue into the days ahead. coming up in just a little bit at 830, looks like the highways are doing a okay on this monday. let's check in with the sal for the latest. good morning. >> all right rosemary there is one highway though that i'd like you to avoid if you can. and that would be northbound 880 in oakland. there's a crash that just happened maybe about 20 minutes ago. northbound at 29th, which is after high. and now the backup is stretching out past the coliseum. you may want to get up to 580 as a result. i think some people aren't getting through. the bay bridge has completely cleared out. i think

this was going to happen anyway. the clearing anyway, but right now it could be partially because of that problem. on 880 i mentioned also a look at the san mateo bridge finds it's doing okay on that span all the way out to the peninsula. dumbarton bridge looks good too. 831 let's get back to the headlines. >> and now to the mystery surrounding that troubling sight at crown beach in alameda over the weekend, a large gray whale was found dead near the shore. scientists hope they can start work soon to learn how and why the whale died. ktvu allie rasmus is live now to explain why. allie that may take longer than they hope. >> yes, because first they have to find this whale carcass that washed up here over the weekend. we're at alameda crown beach, where you see behind me a beautiful day out here. the water is calm, the tide is up. there's a person on a paddleboard out in the distance. but there is no sign of the gray whale that was found here. dead on just 24 hours ago. scientists from the marine mammal center tell us this morning that the

carcass of this 40 foot long female gray whale found dead saturday evening had been stuck at a sandbar here, but overnight it dislodged and it is now free floating with the tide somewhere in the bay in alameda, people are still talking about the disturbing sight and the questions surrounding it. hopefully they'll get dignity soon. >> people are always upset when they see dead whales, and it is unfortunate, but it's always an opportunity for us to learn more about the species and the population and how they're doing . >> scientists haven't been able to do a necropsy yet. they have to get the carcass onto solid land to do that. scientists from the california academy of sciences were able to gather some samples from the whale's blubber, but so far, they say they do not see any initial signs that the whale may have suffered a boat strike. but they say that sometimes the evidence of those vessel strikes aren't apparent until you can do a more a further review of the animal carcass. so marine scientists

from the california academy of sciences plan to find out more about what happened to this whale. but first, it is somewhere in the middle of the bay, and people have to find it. so that is going to be what they're working on. and we don't have a timeline yet on when they'll be able to do that work. we have reached out to the scientists with the marine mammal center and the california academy of sciences and other government agencies that may be involved in helping to tow that carcass to angel island state park to do that. necropsy live in alameda. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news the federal government has announced a new program to help people prepare their homes for wildfires in four counties in and around the bay area. >> the money from washington is designed to help low to moderate income homeowners in solano, sonoma, napa and santa cruz counties. they're eligible for federal grants of up to $50,000 to protect their homes from wildfire. the goal is to help homeowners who've lived in areas impacted by past wildfires. >> the east bay regional park district is set to receive nearly $1.4 million in federal

funding for wildfire prevention and forest work. the funding comes from bipartisan legislation signed by president joe biden in march. the funds will be used to mainly remove dead and dying trees in regional parks. the financial boost will also improve existing year round efforts to prevent wildfires, as los angeles police have arrested someone accused of breaking into the home of mayor karen bass. on sunday, police say the suspect smashed a window and entered the home at about 640 in the morning. bass and her family were at home at the time of the break in. officers responded to the call and arrested the suspect without issue. neighbors are worried and say they hope the burglary was not politically motivated. >> i don't even know if they would have realized it was the mayor's house per se, but i hope it was just sort of more innocent and a result of someone's mental illness, even if it was targeted, i they must have been somewhat ill because they would expect somebody would catch them pretty fast. >> thankfully, no one was inside. the home was injured, and it is not clear if anything

was stolen. lapd says this is an ongoing investigation vision for people around the world. >> passover begins at sundown today. the jewish holiday celebrates the exodus of the israelites from slavery in biblical egypt. in israel, many people say this year there is little to celebrate, with dozens of hostages taken from israel still being held by hamas amid increasing tensions in the middle east. some relatives of hostages set up a table in tel aviv with place settings for their missing family members. >> in the last half a year. we are trying to get my sister out. >> amid recent attacks and counterattacks between israel and iran, israeli troops are now being positioned along the entire length of israel's borders. >> meantime, somber celebrations among israelis who were preparing to mark the passover was still more than 100 people still being held hostage in gaza. at seder tables in tel aviv, empty seats were left to represent those killed or taken

hostage during the october 7th hamas attack, empty places were also left for soldiers who were unable to return for passover. members from one community helped set up communal tables, for in tel aviv that kibbutz lost 100 people in hamas attacks, with 30 people taken hostage. meantime, law enforcement on alert for any possible threats as millions of jewish people around the world begin observing passover tonight , the fbi director, christopher wray, is warning the recent hostilities in the middle east could possibly lead to attacks against jewish people in the u.s. wray has ordered law enforcement agencies to add another layer of security around jewish facilities across the country. during passover. >> we at the bureau remain particularly concerned that lone actors could target large gatherings, high profile events, or symbolic or religious locations for violence, wray says the number of hate crime investigations involving jewish people in the u.s. has tripled since the start of the war, between israel and hamas. >> he is concerned that number could climb even higher due to

the recent military conflict between israel and iran. >> all right, let's talk about this changing barrier. whether a lot of us would like to just bottle up this weekend weather and hold on to it forever. but that's not the case, is it, rosemary? >> no. gasia. andre, we do have those changes coming our way. minor changes today, bigger changes by tomorrow, eventually leading to the possibility of scattered showers. yes, i said scattered showers. giving you a look here over san francisco. we have a little bit of fog out there inside the bay, along the coastline. this is going to lead to a bigger, temperature change and drop for us along the coastline today, by the afternoon. so we're kind of in a transition day, although we're not feeling it just yet. in fact , most of us are warmer today at this hour compared to yesterday morning, 60 degrees right now in napa, walnut creek, 71, in brentwood. you get closer to the water. we have 59 sfo, 54 at half moon bay. again, most areas

well above where we started yesterday, like napa, six, livermore up by seven, half moon bay, one of the spots a little bit cooler going into the second part of the afternoon. we will begin to see the low clouds regroup and move closer to the coast. right now we're tracking just a little bit here off the coastline you can see monterey, but this southerly surge will come looks like, by two 3:00 in the afternoon and provide the coastline with mostly cloudy skies for the second part of the day. the time stamp for your futurecast here is 3:00 and into the evening hours by sunset, which is closer to 750. these days it's entering into areas of the north bay. it's also crossing into the east bay and a little bit of patchy drizzle will be a possibility for our coastal range. and along the coastline, the onshore breeze will start to strengthen. now with all that said, it's still going to be a warm one inland and well above average 78 in santa rosa for today, 71 in oakland and 79 for san jose. a better look at this cooling

trend and what we can expect all the way into next weekend. coming up in just a little bit. >> rosemary, thank you so much. time now is 839. boys and girls clubs across the country have provided a safe space for young students to grow, work and learn. >> there are innumerable success stories from the boys and girls club, and one of them is in sonoma valley. as alds ferreira is the daughter of mexican immigrants, she's a junior at sonoma valley high. she's been attending the local boys and girls club there since the first grade. this year, she was named the club's youth of the year through life struggles. she says the program has given her the confidence she needs to embrace herself. >> you know, just a few months ago, i was really in a position where i was really scared and nervous when it came about myself and just facing who i am. but now i'm here and i'm talking about these things, and i think it's really vital to just show that we can overcome this. we can. you know, represent who we are and be proud of who we represent. and just ourselves. >> since her freshman year of high school, as morales has been a part of the club's teen

program, it offers resources to students in need so they can succeed in school and in life. >> we're proud of the of how we've been able to kind of uplift esmeralda, but we know that many other students across the bay area face similar struggles. so, i mean, the best way to kind of promote that is to have individuals and programs to kind of just give the teens an opportunity. right? just give them a voice. >> esmeralda will now go on to represent the club at the state level competition for youth of the year. time is 841 here. our e-bikes taking over your city streets or even the sidewalks amid a push to regulate those super powered e-bikes in one part of the north bay on the nine, we're talking live with a lead author of a new study about their risks and resulting injuries and hospitalizations. >> loyalty to one company may not pay off anymore, the new report, suggesting what people ma need to do i

be filing a complaint with the federal election commission against district 16 congressional frontrunner sam liccardo and his campaign. the complaint, accusing liccardo of using super pac money to pay for a recount of the march primary election results in order to avoid a three person race in the november election.

>> when we're talking about third party money, when we're talking about super pac money, federal campaign laws require that there not be coordination between those super pacs and a candidate. >> the complaint says liccardo used a poll from april eighth that showed his campaign would be vulnerable in a three way race, and the next day, a former liccardo staff member requested a recount. it also says the recount was paid for by the ctv pac, which the association says was formed by people close to liccardo. liccardo's campaign released a statement in response to the complaint, saying in part, quote, this complaint filed by a supporter of one of sam liccardo's political opponents, lacks any evidence and cites a poll in which sam liccardo wins a general election by over 5. >> the $61 billion aid package for ukraine passed by the house over the weekend, is giving a morale boost to ukrainian soldiers. in recent weeks, ukrainian troops have been forced to withdraw from the frontlines as they've been running low on ammunition and other supplies.

>> that's the question of life and death. so from humanitarian point of view, this decision will help to save, i think, thousands of lives. plus, it gives a chance for ukraine to continue the fight. >> the senate could vote on the aid package as soon as tomorrow. president biden has promised to sign it immediately. >> tomorrow, the us senate is expected to vote on a package of bills that includes $95 billion in foreign aid to ukraine and israel, along with new restrictions on tiktok. the measure requires the platforms china based owner to sell its stake within a year due to national security concerns. but legal experts say this social media app will not go away anytime soon. tiktok says it will likely go to court to try and block the law if it passes, claiming first amendment rights. time now is 846. another well-known retailer has filed for bankruptcy protection. >> kem cook is back in studio with that, and the stocks we're watching in today's dollars and cents. >> a lot of stocks to watch this week and express has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy plans to

close 95 express stores and all of its up west stores. analysts say express has not stayed on trend with what shoppers are looking for. it is also struggled as malls across the country have closed that opening bell rang in a busy week on wall street, with a number of big companies reporting earnings, including tesla, meta, alphabet, american airlines and microsoft. ahead of all those reports, the s&p 500 looking to snap a six day losing streak and as we take you live to the new york stock exchange, is it it is up a bit. the s&p 500 up about a quarter of a percent still below 5000, though the nasdaq up about a quarter of a percent as well. there's a live look at the dow jones up slightly this morning. tesla stock dropped about 3% right when that bell rang after announcing more price cuts in several countries, including china and germany. now one of china's ev companies, li auto, also cutting prices as demand for electric vehicles has dropped in china. tesla reports earnings tomorrow. ceo elon musk

also say a high turnover rate hurts company morale and productivity. and while job loyalty may be low, employees are turning to a new trend called chrono working to help with burnout. now, the method calls for managers to accommodate an employees circadian rhythm by taking into account whether or not a person is a night owl or an early bird. when making their schedule. while the trend can have a positive impact on the employees well-being, it may come with some challenges companies would need to set expectations so that coworkers can still collaborate, even if they are on different schedules. i'm pam cook, that's a look at your dollars and cents. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. all right. time now for our final check of the roads with sal castaneda. sal you've been tracking some trouble spots here and there. >> that's right. andre and garcia, good morning to you both. northbound 880 in oakland. it is not doing well because they're clearing a crash northbound at 29th. now, that crash does have a lane blocked.

at least they're trying to get it out of the way. things are improving a little bit as they're doing that. but i would use 580 instead. bay bridge cleared out. so you've waited for the right time. san mateo bridge also looks good this morning. it's moving well to the peninsula. peninsula has been relatively quiet this morning and we see the south bay northbound 85. some slow traffic there getting up to cupertino. 849 let's talk about today's weather. here's rosemary. >> all right. good morning to you sal. happy monday. we do have changes coming our way today. it's going to be very subtle right along the coastline. we'll notice the changes coming in the afternoon. actually take a look at that. we're already beginning to see some of that fog enter through the gate. so we'll call for partly to mostly cloudy skies this afternoon along the coastline. and for the rest of us, the cooling will come tomorrow. the look at storm tracker two here. the ridge is being pushed aside by a system and trough that is kind of developing off our coastline. and as we get into the afternoon , not only do we expect the clouds to kind of make a

comeback along the coastline, the onshore breeze expected to strengthen as well, the yellows and the oranges indicating where it will be breezy right along the coastline, just through the gate and perhaps through the delta region. here, temperatures are going to remain above average, but along the coastline and closer to the water likely to come down a little bit from yesterday. here's the future cast into tomorrow morning. there's the low off the coastline and now we have that onshore breeze intact. we have the low clouds, we have the patchy drizzle. this is going to be just the start of a trend that continues into the business week. wednesday looks to be even cooler with partly sunny skies for the afternoon. patchy drizzle expected as well. and then that trough moves out only to be replaced by this coming in thursday into friday. and with this second one, even the possibility of some wet weather here in the bay area and a little bit of snow in the sierra when i say a little bit, i'm talking just a couple of inches a possibility here. and for us, rainfall amounts a few 107 inch.

so not going to be much, but you may need the umbrella. we'll have to see how that goes farther down the road outside. right now the winds are light and calm and our temperatures this morning already warm and warmer than where we were yesterday in most areas, up by seven degrees in livermore. a view of the numbers in livermore 58 low 70s brentwood. upper 50s over novato 63. in san francisco for the afternoon, 60 at the coast with mostly cloudy skies. partly cloudy for the rest of us 66. san francisco widespread 70s for our bayside communities, our inland cities into the low 80s once again, at least the inner east bay. if you're going to the game tonight at oracle park, it's going to be cool. it's going to be brisk, partly cloudy skies, 58 degrees and a west breeze to 15mph. when that game begins at 645, your extended forecast here. the notable drop coming tomorrow, especially inland, 10 to 12 degrees of cooling expected. and then we remain cool. upper 50s at the coast to upper 60s inland.
