this morning show. >> maybe another few minutes actually. >> into the golden years together reed. gianna is off. why don't we take a live look outside on this thursday morning? it was another beautiful day in the east bay. this is the view from treasure island and jessica i know there's weather coming up. is it today? is it tomorrow? when do those rain drops come? so inconveniently it actually comes heading into this weekend's forecast. and as we take a quick look at what's happening today it's still a stunning afternoon for us. yesterday, we had a mix of sun and clouds in the forecast. but today it's going to be a lot sunnier as high pressure is now directly over the state of california. keeping us dry and above average for our daytime highs just a bit longer but nicole brings up a good point. we have some active weather in the forecast for us and that moves in friday heading into saturday. late friday night, you are going to notice a lot of changes in the forecast for us. for example, tomorrow's daytime highs are not going to be nearly as warm as today and to add to that also going to start seeing more clouds roll in just ahead of the first splash of showers late tomorrow night into early saturday morning. but we'll get there in just a minute. let's start

off with today just a little bit more and yesterday we were sitting about 15 degrees above average. in areas like san jose and today we're still sitting about ten degrees above average in the local communities from the santa clara valley off into the east bay. a stunning day to get outside and juster and yesterday and just get some fresh air and today is a repeat of that. heading up into petaluma and santa rosa, 76 to 72 degrees within the stretch of highway right there. once we head off into the east bay just from the bay bridge, san francisco over into oakland, we're seeing a little bit warmer temperatures off into the east bay there. a lot warmer the more continuous -- more you drive out into the east and of course down into the santa clara valley with dry conditions lasting into this afternoon. i'm going to talk about the rainfall totals coming up in just a bit and how much rain your local community can expect. but for now over to you, nicole. thank you, jessica. whoa don't we take a look at the roadways this morning? it's nice and quiet out on the roads for the early commuters. we see some brake lights over at the 92 towards half-moon bay. and

at the altamont pass. but we want to let you know about this incident over in hayward on highway 238. the connecting ramp to southbound 880 is closed off for now. chp is reporting that there's an overturned big rig that's blocking that exit ramp. traffic right now currently being diverted to northbound 880 in the meantime and we'll update you once that ramp is back open. reed? all right, now to the story that has travelers, tourists and locals talking. so what do you think of this? should oakland's airport add san francisco bay to its name? that will be decided by the oakland airport commission today as opposition? san francisco mounts. and you niobous at the port of oakland want the name changed hoping to boost travelers. many are unfamiliar with the region they say and they fly into sfo even if their destinations bring them closer to the east bay but san francisco city attorney wants to ground the plan sending a strong lotter in opposition even threatening to sue. the argument there? the change violates trademark on san francisco's airport. also by

the way the san mateo county board of supervisors voted to oppose this. this will be interesting through the day. one of the arguments is that travelers will be confused so we went to x to hear from you. and overwhelming number of voters in the poll say yes, the change would be confusing. 84.1% of you in fact. so in the next halve hour we're live talking to travelers in oakland and at 7:00 on pix+ 44 cable 12, we will give you a voice in our "people are talking" segment. now while that plays out, over at sfo, looking live. hundreds of united airlines flight attendants are demanding the airline deliver a new contract. they say it's just time to get the job done. negotiations they say have dragged on for more than two years. they want more money and improved working conditions. we have reached out to united for a response and so far haven't heard anything back. and an update to the meeting of our state's top education bosses this morning. here's your headline. cal graduate rich lyons is uc berkeley's next chancellor. lyons takes the helm this summer with the priority -- top

priority of student safety on and off-campus. major agenda item. first responders are true heroes among us and while they don't always get enough recognition, one east bay man is showing gratitude to the men who saved his life. he told our andrea nakano how these heroes gave him a second chance. >> reporter: there were hugs and tears at headquarters in livermore a truly emotional moment for paramedic dave raymond. >> important for me to come back to you guys. >> reporter: this was the first time a patient stopped by to say thank you. >> guess what? you are the first. to be able to have that opportunity to say that. i can't express the joy that i'm feeling. in knowing that i'm -- getting to talk to you. >> yeah, appreciate it. >> reporter: raymond and emt

jason helped save jeff harrington's life roughly five months ago. the 53-year-old went into cardiac arrest and came very close to leaving his wife and two kids just 12 and 13 behind. >> i was dead for 20 minutes and i came back. they don't get gratitude. they don't get it enough. and -- and i recognize that and i needed to be here to thank them. >> reporter: harrington is a former b.a.r.t. police officer and he knew he had a heart condition but admits he didn't take the best care of his health but after getting a second chance to watch his kids grow up. he's not taking anything for granted anymore. >> there are efforts, you know, mean something to me. and their efforts means that i'm taking full advantage of the moment. that my life span's going to be way longer than it it would have been because i'm living better and just taking advantage of what the beautiful gift that they gave me from their hard work. >> reporter: as an exmilitary officer dave gave harrington a challenge coin as a symbol of the bond the men will share for the rest of their lives.

>> speechless. grateful. and hope people are -- learn that it takes a team. that we're just part of it. >> reporter: that team gave one of the most valuable gifts of all. these first responders will say it's just part of their jobs. >> it doesn't make a difference. who you are, what you believe in, the color of your skin. that doesn't matter. we're human. you know? life is precious. >> reporter: but their real life heroes as they try to save one life at a time. >> well, the paramedics weren't the only heroes that day. they told andrea jeff's wife helped them out by starting cpr herself and something she learned to do when she was a lifeguard and a skill they encourage everybody to pick up. what a wonderful story there in the ability to say thank you and obviously that's something that is -- you know, his heart goes out to all the people that helped him just regain consciousness and

life. >> yeah, right and you know these first responder don't often get that. they see so many hard situations. so to get to see life and health happen and to get that chance to get the payoff, that's what they deserve. for sure. time right now 5:08 in the morning. lessons in life-saving and selfless service. meet an east bay man and why he stepped forward to help a total stranger and how doing the same could lift your life as well. plus look at this. severe storms down south. we have the new video this morning as neighbor helping neighbor. starts to happen in the path of wicked weather. and here's a live look outside before we head to break here on this beautiful thursday morning. we say good morning to all of you in >> tech: cracked windshield? schedule with safelite, and we'll come to you to fix it. >> tech vo: this customer was enjoying her morning walk. we texted her when we were on our way. and she could track us and see exactly when we'd arrive. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. let's go! >> tech vo: we came to her with service that fit her schedule. >> woman: you must be pascal. >> tech: nice to meet you. >> tech vo: we got right to work, with a replacement she could trust.

tell us over the past eight weeks, they've made over 180 arrests and seized dozens of firearms linked to crimes. well, this is an all too familiar sight for a popular oakland doughnut shop. just got robbed for a fourth time in less than a year. this time one of the suspects hopped over the counter at cole january doughnuts while another ripped out the cash register and a third swung around a golf club. this robbery happened on march 1st. the owner told us she's worried that she won't be able to staff her store if thieves keep targeting them. reed? well, let's jump the map now and look at damage from storms in the south causing people to rally to help one another again. this is in the face of heavy floods and rains. we can tell you this morning electricity is out for hundreds of thousands because of tornadoes in some areas and you see that house just reduced to matchsticks. total loss. yes, sir is here to break down what the damage is in the forceful wind. good morning, jess. >> good morning to you. yeah, check this path of destruction and an ef1 tornado left behind.

this is in sly dell, louisiana and wind speeds clocked in nearly 110 miles an hour. you can see how severe the damage is to those homes and thankfully, people in the area were able to escape quickly and safely and there haven't been any reports of any deaths. now another ef1 tornado struck the city of katy in texas. businesses were completely destroyed and debris is just everywhere right now and the national weather service says the wind speeds with that one got up to 90 miles per hour and that one didn't have much of a track actually. but the winds didn't just rip up the infrastructure. check out the coast waters in mobile, alabama. intense winds is helping it rise on to the freeways and causeways there. the route here you are seeing on the screen is actually i-10 connecting mobile and spanish fort. it has been wild down there. and of course keep in mind earlier this week, as all of us were getting excited for the path of totality to go through the regions they were going through the active weather and we forecast that too. back to the bay and talk

about the beautiful weather that we have this afternoon. if you remember yesterday and thought this is a nice spring day for us here in the bay area. luckily a repeat of that today. more above average temperatures this afternoon and the reason why is because high pressure is in the inland areas but later this week we have a storm track from the north and that's going to cool the 80s down into the 50s just like that. let's dive into the forecast this morning. coastal clouds close to santa cruz and half-moon bay area. sunnier skies compared to yesterday and then it's game on once we head into friday. just ahead of the cold front moving its way in. first we're going to notice the winds and it's going to be breezy and sudden into friday late night around 10:00 when the first band of rain initially hits the bay area. starting in the north bay and kind of sweeping into the santa clara valley by midnight. and around 2:00 a.m. on saturday morning, many of us are going to be sleeping through this storm and it's worth noting by the time we wake up we're going to be in the little break from that first band that's now making its way up into the sierra region giving them snow and back here in the bay, we'll

get a little bit of a dry break and so many of us waking up to clear conditions or at least cloudy skies i should say. and then some more unsettled weather starts rolling in since the center of the storm track is sitting just offshore. it will be breezy for us as we head into the hours into the afternoon hours on saturday. we'll continue to watch the storm track move to the south. now i want to talk about the temperatures one more time though because these daytime highs that we have today, like we talked about earlier upper 60s near san francisco and low 70s in oakland but then 80s all throughout the east bay. yeah, these temperatures are worth noting because right around the corner, san jose is a great example of this. we're going to dip from the 80s all the way down to the low 50s throughout most the inindians and that's all thanks to the storm system moving its way in from the gulf of alaska. this is cold dense air rolling in from offshore. and that's going to bring in temperatures down to the 50s by saturday and 60s luckily into sunday as it moves itself away and then high pressure builds in and drier conditions and sunnier skies and 70s once again into kick into next workweek. update you on the

forecast. for now over to you, nicole. all right, jessica thank you. a live look at some of our bridges this morning. as many of you drive across the bay bridge to get to work, starting off for those planning to take the san mateo bridge. not too much happening here just yet. westbound commuters taking 880 over to highway 101, it's pretty open. metering lights not on at the bay bridge just yet. it's in the green. but things as you know they're going the thicken up once those lights do turn on in a couple of minutes. great conditions at the golden gate bridge. a couple of cars making their way into san francisco this morning. well, it is a very special morning for so many in our country who know what it's like to have a loved one need a life-saving organ transplant and these people are bridge builders right? bridge builders to life and they're building those bridges for the sick by becoming living donors on their behalf. our shawn chitnis shares the story of one east bay man who saw a need in our world and stepped forward

giving a thumbs up to life. >> i knew i had to do it. i knew i had to become an organ donor and i could not imagine anything more satisfying than getting to be an organ donor and enjoy it in life. >> reporter: louise mayan has worked for years at donor network withest in san ramon. a federally recognized organization to help people in need around northern california. >> i knew the need was there. i we all know the need is there. what really put me over the edge, what made me realize that i needed to do this, was getting more information about how safe it was. >> reporter: this job constantly reminds him about the impact of donating life including this wall in the office which celebrates all who gave to donor network west in their first year. with a butterfly for each donation. louise is also on the board of advisors for the national kidney foundation. >> i thought about her every day before i went to sleep and i thought about her every day

when i woke up. >> reporter: earlier this year, he became a living donor after learning he could help a woman he didn't know living on the other side of the country. three months later, he can't stop thinking about the impact it's having on her life and his own. >> i hope that i have given her time with her family. and i hope that i have given her a quality of life back. and i -- i know that she thinks of me just probably as much as i think of her. >> reporter: several weeks later, all he knows is that his kidney went to a 42-year-old woman in new york. >> i feel so happy every single day. thinking about -- and i think about this woman that i don't even know. knowing that she has a new leasen life and she gets to enjoy this kidney that i really wasn't even using. >> reporter: while the process takes time and plenty of preparation, eventually leading to surgery and recovery, it was all worth it for louis and he opens others consider the first step in donating life.

was a graver yard job. after more about how crazy i was i interrupted him to tell him i took the job. he hung up the phone and told my mother she will be unemployed. >> reporter: trivia leaves the bench after 45 seasons as a coach. winning three national titles and winning more games than any college basketball coach in history. men or women. >> my father was right about one thing. the stanford job involved digging. but instead of a graveyard job, it has been a gold mine job. >> reporter: tara's final game as coach at maples pavilion was an epic overtime win against iowa state in the second round of the ncaa tournament back on march 24th. >> we couldn't play another game in maples and i just said if this is my last game, this is fun. you know, this was an awesome game. sometimes it's just you are ready and i just felt i'm ready. i never really thought i would be. i kind of just -- you know, just felt like maybe i would,, you know.

kind of just keel over on the bench. but -- you know, i mean, you know, because i love it. i love it. i love it. >> oh. and here's the beautiful thing, reed. when you love what you do, it doesn't feel like work. i love what i do. broadcasting next to you. i can't even imagine another job. i come in every morning at 2:00 a.m. and it doesn't feel like work at all. i wake up and i'm like yes. it's 2:00 a.m. and i get to go to work. >> i hope we're always worthy of that right? but she is really a master class in leadership and loving your job and also even though she loved her dad i'm sure he was a naysayer at first. not paying attention to the naysayers. just saying i love this. and i'm going to just watch the universe arrange the wins and it did. and she did. >> and it's not something that you look at and say oh it's a loss. she's no longer going to be involved. she is. she's staying on in a role that will give her some free time back. to be a coach it's grueling. you are married to that job. and eventually, you are like okay, maybe i do need to take up a hobby like sewing or you know, something.

down there with 80s close to concord and antioch. low 70s in oakland this afternoon. with upper 60s across the bay bridge. which you can see right above me that clear bay bridge right now. all the way over to san francisco where we're topping off in the 60s. 70s up into wine country and it's going to be a nice afternoon for us oh i didn't want to pull that up again but here's a look at what we expect this afternoon. all those temperatures i just mentioned were all above average. whether you live in san francisco, where it's only about four degrees above average or off into the inland areas more significant about 12 degrees above average today. now the good news about our forecast is the fact that as we take couple of looks at things like the pollen count. decrease into the weekend but as we take a look at the rain chances, they are actually starting to increase as we head into this weekend's forecast. and this is kind of the big weather story for us as we head into this next couple of days. we see another chance of showers returning into the forecast for us friday lasting into saturday. and a little bit of sunday. and that storm system that's moving its way in is also taking those temperatures that id just mentioned from the 80s and replacing them with 50s right

around the corner. i'm going to talk more about that in a bit and how that can impact the commute and of course the weekend forecast. but for now over to you, nicole. start over in hayward on highway 238. the connecting ramp to southbound 880 is still closed off for now. chp -- pardon me. reporting that there's an overturned big rig blocking the exit ramp. traffic right now currently being diverted to northbound 880 in the meantime, we can see a bit of delays once you approach that area. no updates on when this is going to be cleared up. slow conditions over at the altamont pass for our commuters coming in from tracy. bumper-to-bumper traffic as you make your way through the mountains. everywhere else -- everywhere else is in the green as you head out the door. thanks nicole. a live look at oakland international airport. okay. listen up friends. what do you think about oakland's airport changing its name to add the words san francisco bay? is it confusing? will the change prompt a lawsuit and in fact by san francisco city attorneys? there's a big decision happening today. shawn

chitnis is live at oakland airport this morning to test one of the arguments by san francisco bosses the name change makes things confusing. you see a lot of passengers up. what are they saying, shawn? >> reporter: well, they would actually tell you that they have not had the coffee and go easy on them when asking them about this issue. but yes, they do see that point about it being confusing. while also understanding the desire to have a name change. so yeah, it's another busy day here at terminal 2. a lot of spring travel getting people to come in and stand in line in the early hours. but let's talk a little bit about what's at play as we get ready for the port of oakland meeting that's going to be happening in the afternoon. again, they want the name change to be the -- san francisco bay oakland international airport. and -- [ inaudible ] san francisco bay so that name certainly makes sense but leaders in san francisco -- [ inaudible ] take legal action because -- for the

name change, a majority of international travelers and some domestic travelers said they don't know exactly where they're traveling to when they hear oakland and help protect the $1.6 billion economic impact and 30,000 jobs that are here. here's what two passengers had to say when we chatted with them this morning. >> i mean, i get it. but like -- this is oakland. not san francisco. so that's a little bit confusing. >> i definitely understand why they want to do it. but i don't see a real genuine reason for them to change it. seems a little extra in my opinion. >> reporter: and so that was both a passenger who lives here in the bay area and one who doesn't. so you can see some agreement there. now we want to point out that the major carriers here, southwest, spirit all say they are in support of having this

particular name change. we will have to see what the possibility of oakland decides at that board meeting which is scheduled for 3:30 this afternoon. reed, back to you. >> one argument shawn is that the airlines in support of it stand to make money because of the name change. pretty fascinating to see the disparity between what the airlines are saying and the passengers you talked to are saying. thank you so much. also drilled donned on social media and went to x to see what you think. a majority of you say yes, the name change is confusing just like the people shawn talked to. people are talking and the conversation continues at 7:00 a.m. get ready to change the channel at 7:00 a.m. on pix+ 44 cable 12. nicole? it's time now for the look at the morning's other top stories. san francisco mayor london breed is gearing up for a week long trip to china. it comes as a tough re-election fight is on the horizon where candidates for her job have been trying to win over the city's asian american community. breed says she got a formal invitation from the chinese president xi jinping and the plan is to try and boost tourism and restimulate

some of the city's struggling economy. her office says she'll meet with several businesses and community leaders in china. breed says she hopes to build on the momentum from last year's apec summit and she is scheduled to leave on saturday. >> to receive an invitation to come to china, to talk about these opportunities, is really critically important to the long-term success of san francisco. >> the mayor also plans to meet with shanghai's mayor to promote san francisco's 45 year long sister city relationship. president biden announced the u.s. japan and australia will create a new joint air missile defense network. the president hosted japan's prime minister at the white house as he unveiled several new initiatives. aimed at deepening defense and intelligence cooperation between the two countries. the announcements come amid growing concerns over china's global influence. and three people were shot during a large celebration in philadelphia. the event marked

the ends of the muslim holy month of ramadan. the city's police chief says it appears to have been an armed fight between several people who were taken into custody. federal officials are assisting in the investigation. reed? well, your community station wants to follow up on stories we tell and this one is a big one from san francisco's mission district. so four months after san francisco imposing the vending ban on mission street. is it working. >> the city set up the tented space near the 24th b.a.r.t. station for legal vendors to sell. but our jose martinez found vennel doors feel at that location there's nobody to sell to. >> reporter: rodrigo lopez isaching up the stall after eight hours of work making at least $65. before the mission street vending ban took effect in november, he would have made more like $250 on a typical day. >> i mean, for us, that's a surprise anymore.

little area down there that's going to be so exciting. cooking classes offered, jess. >> that's actually really, really cool. and san francisco and just the whole bay area could use something like that. now let's take a quick look at the forecast and all the bay high pressure sitting just offshore. a little bit less clouds in the forecast for us this morning compared to yesterday. there's still holding on tight to the coast and just a little bit along the peninsula. we'll continue to watch that clear up as we head into this afternoon hours today. i'm going to keep advancing the clock all the way into the overnight hours tonight and notice how by tomorrow morning, we're waking up just around this time to cloudier skies and a little bit of a break from the clouds into the afternoon hours and then it's game on into the overnight hours friday night this is around 11:00. with some heavy pockets of rain forecasted all throughout the bay area. what's happening is this area of low pressure is moving its way in. you will see the circulation sitting just offshore and wrings in more more moisture into the overnight hours friday night into saturday. so early saturday morning if you are an early riser for whatever reason, keep in mind you are probably going to be dealing with some really wet roads out there. you are definitely going to possibly wake up to some thunderstorm activity too but that storm is going to continue to track off into the east. we're left with a little break just around the 8:00 hour. and then more unsettled weather starts to roll its way in as the center of that area of low

pressure is now directly next to san francisco. and along our coastline. so more unsettled weather into saturday afternoon's forecast. it's starting to clear up pretty fast as we head into sunday. now as we take a look at today, this is a good day to prepare for a rainy day. all throughout bay area this afternoon, we're still sitting above average about five degrees above average along the peninsula and about ten degrees above average in the inland areas and topping us off at 81-degrees in livermore and 75 in fremont and 79 into los gatos. we're already off to a clear start this morning down into the santa clara valley. the beautiful blue sky right now just filling the santa clara valley and pretty much all throughout the bay area. now as i drop the map and show you the next seven days this is exciting but also kind of annoying in a lot of ways too. we do have that cold front moving its way in. and not only is it bringing in a lot of rain for us but it's also going to be bringing in those cool, chilly temperatures. this is very similar to last week's forecast. remember easter sunday was sunny as can be and that monday and tuesday was beautiful. and then a cold front rolled in and it dropped us down into the 50s not only

in the inland areas, but along the bay too. we're going to see a similar trend for us into our bay area forecast. 70s into 50s by saturday and then right back to upper 60s early next week. nicole? all right, thank you, jessica. so let's check in on your roadways this morning. commuters dealt with this hotspot over in san lorenzo and hayward. the connecting ramp from 238 to southbound 880 it looks to be getting more controlled and cleared here. it was an overturned big rig being assisted right now as chp diverts traffic on to northbound 880. the little bit slow once you approach the area: but the good news is 880 doesn't seem to be having any issues right now. which is what we want to get to next. look at all this green. stalled vehicles on the san mateo bridge. and over in milpitas but these aren't adding time to your commute. we want to get to some breaking news out of san joaquin right now. firefighters are responding to a massive
