12:01 pm
it is official. the a's are leaving oakland to play in sacramento. thank you for joining us this afternoon. i'm anne makovec in for ryan yamamoto . it is a sad day for a's fans. the team now playing its final season at the oakland coliseum after reaching a deal with the sacramento kings. the a's will play at sutter health park starting next season before they moved to las vegas. the announcement comes after negotiations with the city of oakland failed. a's owner john fischer announced the news in sacramento today. >> we are excited to be here for the next three years, playing in this beautiful ballpark, but also being able to watch some of the greatest players in baseball, whether they be athletics players or aaron judge and others, launch home runs out of this very intimate, the most intimate ballpark in all of major league baseball. >> you could call it intimate. the sutter health park can fit just over 14,000 fans. the
12:02 pm
oakland coliseum fits 63,000 fans. less than 11,000 fans showed up to a's home games on average last season. oakland mayor released a statement saying we wish days the best and we will continue our conversations with them on facilitating the sale of their share of the coliseum site. in vegas, the a's plan to move into their new ballpark by 2028 . this is what the dugout digs would look like at the $1.5 billion stadium. things are happening fast. the a's have hired the same company that the raiders used to oversee ticket sales, even before ground is broken on their new ballpark. as you can imagine, the a's moving to sacramento was getting a lot of people talking. earlier today, we spoke with the president of the grassroots group save oakland sports who says it has been tough to see these sports teams leaving oakland over the
12:03 pm
past several years. >> it is devastating . it has been a tough 20 years, really, to try to get a stadium in oakland. we lost the raiders. we lost the warriors. i would hope that they would at least stay, to keep the team in oakland a few more years. unfortunately, it did not happen. it is just devastating. all the jobs lost . >> a's fans reacting to the news. we spoke with one man who actually does not mind the move. >> it is no problem. i like if they move out there for a while. >> as you can imagine, not all fans are thrilled, some of them standing up on social media. one person on x says it is heartbreaking for open pans and it is shameful that the organization did this in a way that seems to have maximized the pain and disrespect to the
12:04 pm
fans who have shown nothing but loyalty for generations. another person saying that seeing the oakland athletics move is kind of sad. there is so much history on that team, nine world series trophies, countless hall of famers and it is all being destroyed by a greedy, inept ownership group. another person posting, what is happening with the oakland athletics franchise is so shameful it almost defies disbelief. we want to hear from you. we posted on social media, are you willing to drive to sacramento for the a's? we would love you to join in the conversation by going to our x account, kpix tv . we will continue to follow this developing story. stay with us on air, on our website, www.kpix.com and streaming on the free cbs news app. our other top story is the weather, a storm bringing snow to the bay area. this is a live look at mt. hamilton in the south bay. not a lot, but you can see a dusting of snow there. in the east bay, this is the snow on mt. diablo. you can see snow flurries still coming
12:05 pm
down. >> that same system bringing widespread rain to the bay area. it was really coming down this morning as people were getting ready to go to work and i was trying to walk my dog but the wet weather did not stop people from getting their morning workout in. we spotted a group of runners at golden gate park. let's get over to meteorologist jessica burch in our virtual weather studio. did you have to walk chopper in this this morning? >> no. i made my boyfriend do it. let's take a look at what is going on outside. heading into this afternoon, we have been dealing with this cold front holding and from offshore . we have been forecasting this all week long. such a change for us in the bay area. two days ago, 70s and sunshine. today we deal with this mess. right now, the sender of that area of low pressure bringing in all this rain is sitting offshore. as we take a look north, there is some snow just
12:06 pm
north of napa and sonoma and we are watching similar trends into the santa clara valley with drier conditions near the santa clara valley and monday of snowballing your mt. hamilton. as we take a look at the snowfall totals, there could still be another inch of snow expected at those peaks all the way down. this has been a very impressive cold front. today, our daytime highs in the 50s things to that system sitting just off shore. you can see the center of low pressure circulating in. give us another quarter inch near napa, a half inch over near fairfield and a similar trend into the santa clara valley. i will talk more about this storm and how long it will last coming up in your first alert forecast. the race for mayor in the san francisco is heating up. another high-profile politician wants voters to give him the job. supervisor aaron peskin told kpix that he is running for mayor. he is expected to make his formal announcement at

12:08 pm
the two positions that we are talking about right now, the two will go to the november election. there will be a three-way race for the congressional seat. >> by the way, a candidate requesting a recount has to cover the cost and there is no assurance that a recount will go in a person's favor. take a look at this, but it's from a dashcam during taiwan 7.4 magnitude earthquake earlier this week. we see boulders falling onto the road, smashing into a car while drivers narrowly avoided another. in a hospital in taiwan, nurses came rushing into the room when the shaking started, later saying that they were frightened but they still chose to stay to try to protect the room of 15 newborns. all of the babies are safe and unharmed. taiwan still reeling from the aftermath of that earthquake. rescue crews are still looking for the more than

12:14 pm
oakland today. it is gray, it is rainy and it seems like we might see a little electricity out there before the day is done. let's check in with meteorologist jessica burch . >> it has been such an active first alert weather day. if we take a look at what is happening, there is still a chance of thunderstorm activity. what is exciting to talk about is the snow. it is not down at sea level, it is already up into the higher elevated areas, stretching all the way over to mt. diablo where we have been watching that snowfall all morning. if we take a larger look, this area of low pressure has plenty of energy. they work in a counterclockwise direction. coincidentally, the center of it is just off shore of san francisco. there is a reason why we are seeing wet and gusty conditions. we will continue to watch these on and off showers with a chance of thunderstorm activity likely as well. here we go toward napa and sonoma. a
