friday. >> happy friday. gooden the here and i'm shawn chitnis because both nicole and gianna are not here. so i'm going to do my best and so far, so good. >> good enough. >> you are eclipsing me my brother. >> it's nice to have you here. always glad to work with you shawn chitnis. all right, let's take a live look outside on this friday morning. and the sun is starting to show and it's illuminating all the beautiful colors. i think hey that's just a message for the sky for us. jess. absolutely, painting a beautiful pictures for the morning's forecast but once the clouds start rolling in really just a tease ahead because we have some active weather in the forecast for us late tonight early tomorrow morning. and it's almost hard to believe when yesterday we were in the 80s and we're waking up to a beautiful sunrise. everything seems normal right now. but better yet let me just tease ahead and show you the daytime highs today. we're sitting in the 70s near san jose. and you'd think to yourself, okay that's not that bad. dry conditions and 70s but keep in mind yesterday we were at 81 degrees. so a ten degree jump there. now we're into the 60s all the way off into the east bay with #s along the coast.

and into san francisco. low 60s near petaluma and novato and all the way up into santa rosa as well. here's the reason why it's a lot cooler today compared to yesterday. this area of low pressure is moving in from the gulf of alaska, this is bringing in cold dense air into the bay area. not only today, but especially tomorrow once the initial cold front sweeps in from offshore, now as that system moves its way in, it's going to bring in a couple of things for us. of course the cold temperatures i just mentioned. tomorrow all of us are going to be sitting in the 50s. if you think today is cool, wait till tomorrow. and then to add the that we're also getting rainy skies too. our rain chances really start to increase late tonight, early tomorrow morning. many of us are going to sleep through the initial band of rain that moves its way throughout the 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 a.m. hour. but there's more rain where that came from and i'm going to break that apart for you coming up in the first alert forecast because this lingers into the weekend forecast and look, by next workweek, it's as though it's a tease. because once we go back to work it's sunny and beautiful as can be. more on that coming up. for now back to you. >> all right. we're going to talk about what's going on out

the roads right now. yes, sir. the scene in hay word on southbound 880. you can see there on your screen two big rigs blocking three lanes. but in order to help further assist all lanes have been closed right at the winton avenue exit. just know that when you see that exit coming up you are going to have to make your way around it carefully. this happened around 4:30 this morning. so the depth of just how much this will impact the morning commute is right there. very slow conditions once you approach the area as many of you will need to find a detour. southbound 880 lanes reopened after the san mateo bridge exit. so just plan accordingly as you get ready to head out the door. just be safe. other things happening on your roadways this morning. we have a crash going westbound on the bay bridge. it's a busy traffic morning. slow conditions just after the toll plaza because of the crash and as we can see a bit of slow reactions from drivers who are making that drive over into san francisco. metering lights are also now on. but look at that.

we usually see a buildup here, maybe it's what gianna likes to call friday light traffic. to you get sense we miss her doing traffic in you at home do as well. overall a little slow into the city from oakland but across the bay at the golden gate bridge, nice green clear conditions. going over to sausalito to have breakfast this morning or coming into san francisco, it's a nice drive. hey, this morning, rescuers at the russian river face a ticking clock. and they are searching ther a child believed swept away in the springtime waters. looking rival right now at the russian river. close to where yesterday's search began. this is a live picture of that area. this has been a long night for the family who called in around 5:00 last night. reporting two missing children in the water in forestville. crews saved one child but with the new day at child believed to be 10 years old is still missing. as the family waits at the water's edge. so let's talk about what's going on there. the water is high and it moves

fast. there's an understood current and the river underneath the surface of the water full of debris and so that means it's a dangerous search. as the morning progresses, our thoughts and our news team's work to get more information will continue for and with the family. and of course those first responders literally in the water searching through heavy brush this morning for life at this very moment. we got a follow-up to a big community story that's pitting east bay to the city of san francisco. after a unanimous vote to add san francisco bay the name of the oakland airport. the city of san francisco confirming they're going to sue to stop the renaming. oakland's port commission says the goal is to help travelers realize oakland is in the bay area. san francisco says that change is a trademark infringement. so they're fighting. and there's also a big question this morning. does a lawsuit really have any teeth or legal traction? port commission doesn't seem to think so. in fact, here's what they told us. quote -- sfo cannot lay

claim to the geographically descriptive term san francisco let alone claim exclusive cites to san francisco bay. they're going to do everything they can to ensure clarity for travelers about where o. a. k. is. now to this. i'm not shedding any tears. >> definitely devastated that he passed away. >> no tears. on one side. devastation on the other and there you have it. reactions over o.j. simpson's death split. even beyond the grave, the acquitted double murder suspect and often in scandal o.j. simpson continues to divide us as we look back at the san francisco native's complicated legacy. serve sovereign lives his final years in sin city. and died of prostate cancer at the age of 76 according to family that say they were around him when he died. this was the moment in 1994 when the heisman trophy winning running back's achievements went down in flames. following the brutal slayings, 95 million people watched on live television that

slow moving police chase of simpson's white ford bronco on the l. a. freeway. zoe tur was in the news helicopter. >> with the slip of a switch we had almost 100 million viewers around the country and parts of the world watching this infamous slow speed pursuit. this spectacle on television. >> simpson eventually sevennered to police. hundreds of millions watched the trial and divides in our country only deepened when he was acquitted. >> i do believe in my heart that he was guilty of the crime. >> jury spoke and he was acquitted. >> simpson acquitted in that criminal trial but jurors in a later civil trial found simpson liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the victims' families. the goldman and brown families have tried to collect

that money for decades. only getting a fraction of it. this morning they vow to fight to collect simpson's asset even after death. goldman's family vowed to never speak simpson's name and in fact in interviews oftentimes mr. goldman would refer to simpson only as the killer. yesterday his father and sister said the death ended their hopes for true accountability. now while serve soften did not ends up in prison for murder, he did end up locked up for nine years in nevada in an armed robbery case in las vegas and in that case, he was convicted on 12 counts of armed robbery and the kidnappings of two sports dealers. at gunpoint in a las vegas hotel. he eventually got out and lived in the ritzy las vegas red rock country enclave behind several gates in a friend's home and often posted on social media and look at this. >> my health is good. i mean, obviously i'm dealing with some issues. >> that was the last time we saw simpson son social media or at least one of the last times and that clip he's downplaying his cancer status. >> reed, before his fall from

grace, serve sovereign was a household name bursting on the national scene as a star usc running back. he spent most of the pro career with the buffalo bills and finished the career with niners. off the field, simpson was a commentator and pitchman and actor. he grew up in san francisco both he and his sister lived in a husbanding project in the hill neighborhood. and even his early sports career has san francisco roots. he played football at galileo high school graduating in 196 #. he returned to visit the school. and we mentioned he went to usc but before that he first attended the city college of san francisco. our wilson walker takes a look back at his controversial life and the impact it still has on us with one man who knew o. j. his entire life. >> but it's something that when you can say two letters, you just say o.j. just say o.j.

people know who you are talking about around the world. >> reporter: for timothy allen simon, the letters o.j. are more than the san francisco sports hero who became notorious. he knew simpson from the time he was a child. >> well, i'm a native san franciscan. and, you know, o.j. is -- maybe one of the most famous native san franciscans of all-time. i have known his family my entire life. >> reporter: he says the story of o.j. simpson is one that has changed this country and it was at first the fairytale success of a young man famously from the city's poorest neighborhoods. >> you might say this is what i'm trying to do now. you know, right now, i'm trying to make it and i came from a pretty rough neighborhood around here. >> yeah, it was tough. it was tough. life is tough. so when we say a tough community, i hope that your viewers don't necessarily view that is because of its zip code necessarily. >> and i feel if i make it, that would be a good example

for other kids out there. >> you know, not out of -- wealth or opulence. not with a silver spoon, but in the belief that if you apply yourself and you work hard, that you can become something great. and he did. >> reporter: then there are the other chapters of the simpson story. the chase, the murder charges, and the trial of the century. >> i would say maybe the trial of two centuries. in the fact that it's still as vivid in the minds of those who witnessed the trial. and i think this is an important point that it created an industry within media itself. >> reporter: a media frenzy surrounding a trial that would run right through america's racial divisions. >> not guilty of the crime of murder. >> reporter: and the reaction to the verdict in simon's mind, another part of a long complicated story that has riveted the nation and challenged it. >> he was acquitted by a jury of his peers. which means that he's innocent. but yet, much

of america, and i would include, in no offense, media decided, well, even though he was acquitted, we're going to make the determination that this man is guilty. and that is un-american. and if we're going to call ourselves americans, we should stand true. we should be devoted to that concept, that construct of our jeffersonian democracy. >> well, we have posted more videos and interviews from his early football days on our website. kpix.com. all right, time 6:12. is san francisco becoming just too expensive? the last call for a bar in the mission and their move across the bay. plus, a woman's plummet down a ravine and a dramatic

a longtime san francisco business is saying good-bye to the city and moving to a new location across the bay in oakland. staff tell jose martinez the customers aren't coming to them anymore so they're going to the customers. >> reporter: it's been 16 years since monk's kettle started selling craft beer on 16th street in the mission. but now manager yomo daweu says it's time to say good-bye. >> pretty sad to be leaving actually. but -- just, you know, the way that the business has been going. and the mission these days with the -- media doom loop cycle and the perpetuation of that and then like -- the outflux of people from this area in particular

has made foot traffic dive; maybe a quarter of what it was. >> reporter: he's been the manager here for the last three years and says in an attempt to save the business, they decided to move to oakland. basically chasing their customers. >> all the customers that used to live here, all of the like regulars and stuff that used to live here, all the artists, all of, you know, the musicians and stuff that the demographic used to be over here, all moved to oakland because it's so much cheaper. all been pushed out because of how many tech booms now and now that they left, the rent is still up. [ laughter ] >> reporter: one of those regular customers is christian lester, a teacher who lives in san carlos, but has been coming here a few times a week since they opened in 2007. >> i was surprised. i mean. not surprised because business has been bad. there have been times when yomo and i are the only people here. you know. he makes -- three -- he has three customers in a day or something. something ridiculous. but so it -- i feel

sad for that. i'll still, you know, yeah. >> reporter: especially because he likes the new location in oakland's rockridge neighborhood. >> the neighborhood there is really growing and there's a lot of families and younger families there. there's a lot of, you know, almost five times the foot traffic that there is here. it's a very vibrant area. >> and for now they're going to keep serving beer there until june while getting ready to open the doors of the new place in oakland in the fall. well, dramatic helicopter rescue you have got to see. this played out saving the life of a woman on mount tam. she was pulled from the bottom of that ravine yesterday after her car flew some 200 feet down the highway. and as rescuers carried her out of the wooded area, the woman grateful to be alive, saying thank you and also listen. she's apologizing. >> so sorry for all this trouble.

>> no. not trouble at all. it's not trouble at all. >> yes it is. [ laughter ] >> no. >> believe me i'm so sorry. this is a survival story and really an example of how our amazing first responders have hours of training and it pays off. to save lives. and we're so grateful despite the precarious nature of the story the woman is going to be okay. a live look outside on this friday morning. and it is beautiful outside. lovely colors in the skies there but we understand shawn, the skies are going to deliver some changes. >> not for long and as we get ready for the weekend jess, we have to prepare for the changes right? >> absolutely. grab the umbrella and grab everything you need to dress warm because right around the corner, i mean the 80s we had yesterday were great. but they're not long-lived and i mean today we're now down into the 60s throughout most of the bay area. to add to that we're also going to continue to cool down into the 50s by tomorrow as a cold front moves its way in. bringing in a series of showers for us widespread throughout the bay area. so let's start off with today. i want to take a look at what's going on for us heading into this afternoon because it's just a blanket of

clouds widespread throughout the bay area. we have that on our virtual reality map right now and we can see that it on futurecast too. that cloud lay already continue to build in into the afternoon hours today but we're still left with dry conditions. that rain system that we've been talking about all week long does arrive into the bay area. but it doesn't happen until late tonight. around 7:30 notice how it's just hitting the tip of the northern portions of counties stretching up into santa rosa. still dry in the 8:00 hour, takes about until 11:00 for us to see a little bit of light rain kind of build from bodega bay stretching up into santa rosa. moderate pockets of rain starting to get closer to that coastline into the 2:00 a.m. hour tomorrow. so keep in mind this is an overnight system and many of russian just going to sleep right through it. and then we're going to wake up around -- let's say. you wake up around 8:30. and at that point we're starting to see drying conditions as that system moved its way throughout the bay. now in the sacramento valley snow still falling up near mount hamilton and more unsettled weather on saturday as the area of low pressure is centered just offshore. bringing in plenty of rain for us heading into our sunday

forecast too. but that once again happens in the early morning hours. we'll start to clear up into sunday evening and we're left with drier conditions just in time for next workweek. but still inconvenient right? it happens over the weekend. many of us might have outdoor plans that were scheduled and we're getting close to around an inch of rain throughout the bay area. actually passing an inch on models right now near yucaipa. lots of changes with the d. and lots of changes when it comes to the rainy skies too because yesterday we were just talking about 80s and beautiful sunshine off in the east bay near antioch and now we're holding tight to the low 60s near concord. it's still off to a dry start right now in the santa clara valley and seeing the low hanging clouds kind of just coastal -- hitting the coastal areas too. los gatos, daytime highs today in the 60s. so it's going to be an interesting one for us as we head into the next couple of days and here's the reason why. that cold front moves in. yes. it brings in rain and gusty conditions and definitely cooler temperatures. we know that now. but watching into next week, we're talking about

a gradual warming trend right back to the 80s and drier conditions right around the corner and that's something to look forward to. reed? major hotspot for those of you in the east bay planning to take southbound 880 in hayward. all morning lev been reporting on this big freeway closure at the winton avenue exit. big rig, one on its side, one looks to be jackknifed there blocking lanes. so you drivers are having to be detoured and starting at the a. street exit and very slow once you get off the 238 connector. coming from san leandro. so our traffic producer cynthia this morning wanting to let you know e to plan accordingly as you get ow the door and yes i do say thanks to cynthia. been helping me all week. another crash reported by chp on southbound 880 as well in oakland. the far right lane blocked causing slow reactions after the embarcadero exit. on some lighter news, if you plan on taking highway 101 from the peninsula over to san francisco, it seems to be traffic free. so get on the roads when you can to avoid any further traffic time. just make your friday easy right? shawn. >> sounds good to me. the dubs entering the final

stretch and the western conference couldn't be any tighter. the

the warriors facing off against the pelicans tonight at chase center and let's take a live look outside. the dubs have just two games left in the regular season. both of those games at home and tip-off tonight is at 7:00. the

warriors are facing -- fighting for seeding at this point. they cannot get out of the play in tournament. but every game still matters. last night the dubs took on the trailblazers. the warriors have made an epic push as of late winning nine of the last ten games including this one. no clay thompson. no draymond green. no problem. the warriors showing off their strength in the final frame ripping off a 17-1 run in the fourth quarter. steph curry led the way with 22 points and eight assists and seven rebounds and dubs won 100-92. check out the western conference standings. the kings and rangers both have two regular season games left. so we'd love to see a dubs' win tonight against the pelicans and sunday against the jazz. all right, the first round of the masters golf tournament continuing right now in augusta, georgia. play was suspended yesterday because it was so dark out. bryson dechambeau ride now. he is 7

under par. chasing him is world number one scottie scheffler. also one stroke back max houma playing at berkeley. we claim him. tiger woods out there playing as well. he completed 13 holes at 1 under. his biggest test is going to come today because he has to play 23 holes. because of those opening round weather delays. we're watching. you can catch the last two rounds of the masters right here on kpix. coverage for round three tomorrow from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. and the final round this sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. all right, reed, 6:26. it's not getting any easier for the san francisco fishermen. the frustration over another ban for salmon season. plus, it's definitely not going to make you feel any safer this morning. the antioch police department dealing with controversy and now we're getting a sense of just how understaffed they actually are. just wait till

- it's so fun to watch jessica in this space. - this is a look at those clouds right now in real-time, but let's head underneath this cloud layer and take a look at our rainfall... - [narrator] the virtual view studio, part of "morning edition." weekday mornings starting at 5 on kpix. 6:30 right now on cbs news bay area. taking a live look at the bay bridge and what a beautiful sight that is. we're just a postcard every shot we take. we can just -- freeze it and make a postcard. >> we have in the studio actually. in fact our postcards all around us but we know the postcards is not going to look as good coming up this weekend.

>> jess? >> i know. i just -- the rain has to ruin the weekends and then of course it dries up by monday right? just in time for the us to go back to work and school. but here's the look at our forecast. it's almost hard to believe that our rain chances are increasing as we head into the next couple of days but a this morning as we wake up a beautiful start and i mean little bit of the low clouds along the foothills into the santa clara valley. a little bit of the haze as we wake up this morning too. it's cool and it's cloudy for us this morning throughout the bay area. whether you live off near concord or whether you are in the heart of san francisco. but no matter where you live in the bay area, rain chances increase for us late tonight early tomorrow morning. and then it's game on as we head into a kind of wet and wild weekend ahead of us, there's going to be moments where it is dry in your local communities in don't get me wrong. not a huge washout event but a few moments heavier than usual rain that's going to fall in the local areas and i'm here to break that apart for you and let you know how much you can expect with the rainfall totals. clouds areholdingen tight to us

this morning. the blanket of clouds continuing to move in from the north all throughout the afternoon. a dry day for us all throughout the bay. yes the rain returns today or late night tonight but watch how it actually kind of falls more into the evening hours tomorrow. just starting to see rain near san francisco and at this point it's been raining for about 30 minutes up near santa rosa, that's going to actually sweep over the peninsula close to around 2:30. keep in mind many of us are asleep at this point. we're going to continue to watch that rain track off into the east and i'm going to have the rainfall totals and how long this system is going to last for you coming up in just a bit. for now over to you, reed. all right, thank you so much. no word just yet on when lanes of southbound 880 will reopen. this is a live look right now and you can see the depth of exactly what happened on the roads. this is an overturned big rig and one also that looks kind of jackknifed there blocking the majority of those lanes. it's debris out on the roads as well. southbound 880 shut down. so detours are in your future this

morning. dense traffic from a. street to the 238 connector ramp. then another live look at the conditions on southbound 880 from our paseo padre camera. look at that. bumper-to-bumper traffic once the lanes reopen. let's get a look elsewhere. jumping the map right now. over at the bay bridge, a crash was just cleared. it's caused a little bit of sluggish conditions once you reach the upper deck. traffic is now just starting to self-correct. the metering lights are on and it's pretty gummed up. accused and acquitted. the fallen sports star at the center of a double murder case has died. prostate cancer ended life of o.j. simpson at the age of 76. you know looking back, so many of us remember watching and hearing about the police chase, the murder of his ex-wife nicole brown simpson and her friend, ron goldman. and of course the trial of the century. simpson's legacy has roots here in san francisco. he grew up in san francisco's potrero hill neighborhood and went to school at galileo high

school in @ 19 60s and attended city college of san francisco before then moving on the rise to fame at usc. in the next half hour we'll have more about his san francisco connections from a man who kneo.j. simpson his whole life and by the way we posted all the video we have interviews and early interviews here on kpix from in early football days of simpson on the website. kpix.com. all right, reed. thank you. time now for a look at this morning's other top stories. california secretary of state will certify election results today and we're still waiting to find out if there will be a recount in silicon valley's district 16 race. santa clara county supervisor joe simitian and evan low both finished second with the same number of votes. there have been two requests for a recount. one from a former finance director for sam liccardo's mayoral campaign and another from a former unsuccessful candidate for san mateo county supervisor. lawyers are now determining whether the requests are valid. another lawsuit has been filed against pg&e for their

2021 dixie fire. the owners of the collins almanor forest are suing for damages of up to $225 million. they say the fire destroyed 55,000 acres of their land. and caused a number of injuries on their property. pg&e told us it is aware of the suit, but the company has not been served as of yet. former interpreter to one of the biggest stars in baseball is charged with stealing $16 million from his client. the u.s. attorney in los angeles announced federal bank and fraud charges against ippei mizuhara. prosecutors say los angeles dodgers' superstar ohtani is considered to be a victim in this case. they allege that ippei mizuhara impersonated ohtani lying to the bank. antioch now. nose of you waking up there know you have a policing problem in the area and your city of more than 100,000 people have just 39 officers walking the beat. 39. a racist texting scandal put nearly half of the department

on leave. and in fact, that means that one officer serves every 3,000 people in antioch. so we wanted to give you some perspective. that antioch statistic is five times more than an officer in oakland is responsible to serve and protect. one per 604 in oakland and one per 135 in san francisco and san jose one per 827. tight ratios and all of those departments say they need help. andrea nakano looks at what people in antioch are doing until more officers can be brought online. >> reporter: david works at j.j. aquarium in old town antioch and he says he feels safe with his pup rex by his side. but businesses are continually getting hit by thieves. >> it's been kind of a big struggle here with our -- neighbors being broken into a few times. the back door being kicked in. and local law enforcement don't have any access or capability to help us. >> reporter: the antioch police department is short 35 sworn

officers, according to mayor lamar hernandez-thorpe. of the 80 officers, only 39 are on patrol. residents say the worst part is the criminals are fully aware t■he police department is understaffed. >> they know. they know where -- when there's cops out and they know where the cops are. and where they're not. and they take advantage of it. >> reporter: mayor hernandez-thorpe says at least on patrol, the department is only one officer short. but it's the investigative and traffic divisions where the shortage is noticeable. he says 20 candidates have been hired since he started offering the $30,000 incentive program. but they still have to get through the police academy. >> we just don't feel safe. and it's -- we just need more officers and i don't see that happening anytime soon. >> reporter: for now, antioch has hired private security officers to patrol the downtown area. plus residents have noticed chp officers pitching in, especially to put the brakes on side shows popping up

in town. residents realize change may not come as fast as they had hoped. but david isn't giving up on antioch. >> different little things i see give me hope. and especially like -- there's still officers here in antioch that do care about the community. and i feel like they got rid of a lot of the bad stuff. >> well, right now, still no timeline on when those officers could be back on patrol. shawn? all right, reed. salmon fishing has been banned off the california coast for the second year in a row. and the pacific fishery management council made its recommendation based off of low water levels and high temperatures. our amanda hari spoke with a local fisherman about how this is affecting his life and business. >> what's the next step? you know, where do i go? what do i do? you know. am i going to have to walk away from something i love? do i have to get a land job?

>> reporter: those are just some of the questions matt juanes is asking himself after a federal fishery disaster declaration is closing the salmon season before it even begins, for the second season in a row. >> it's a huge impact on myself and other fishermen. >> reporter: juanes says after last year, he has no savings and now his family is cutting back. >> instead of just going to the closest grocery store, we -- wait and go to like -- budget friendly grocery stores. get in the water to go get it. >> reporter: juanes has been a commercial fisherman for more than a decade. he bought this boat about three years ago, specifically so he could fish more salmon. >> this is our salmon sticker. commercial salmon sticker that i never put on the boat from last year. yeah. just -- $100 something. just thrown out the door. >> reporter: he says he understands why the season has been canceled. and he wants to see the salmon population recover. >> basically we lad a drought three years ago and salmon are on a cycle of three years. and three years ago we had a drought.

>> reporter: but san francisco baykeeper science director jon rosenfield says it's a lot more than that. >> salmon need cold water to survive, but the state water board refused to enforce its requirements for cold water flows. and so a lot of salmon died. >> reporter: rosenfield says state leaders are keeping the river flows too low and they're exporting too much water to southern california. >> salmon fishing season was closed last year. and yet the number of salmon that returned was still historically low. commercial fishermen and recreational boat operators are taking it on the chin. >> reporter: while juanes waits for the salmon population to recover, he's putting all his efforts into crabbing. >> since the season opened, i think we've been -- i have been home probably ten days since january. >> reporter: despite difficult times, he says he's not ready to give up on something he loves. >> i'm a fisherman and so i'm going to go until the ship sinks basically. going all the way down with it. >> this is only the fourth time

time now for the money watch report. making money off the court is changing the game for college athletes. student-athletes are capitalizing on big endorsement deals now. they're also cashing in on their names, their likenesses or something called nil. it's a billion dollar industry and launching new businesses. this new company we're talking about nill ipays up front for their naming rights and pairs them with a financial advisor and even allows fans to invest in the favorite athlete? we believe that this is really good deal for all party. >> we didn't have this 21 years ago when i came out of high school and had to go to the pros. because of my financial situation. time for the athletes to to be able to control their own destiny. >> well, some college athletes can bring in millions of dollars each year. but most make just a couple hundred bucks for attending an event or

a social media campaign. well, reed, we know there has been a big boost in the number of people testing their dna to find out more about their ancestry. you probably know someone. but now people are doing the same for their pets. elise preston explains. >> sit. >> reporter: like many dogs, 1-year-old reeves loves to play fetch. >> i think she's part border collie. >> reporter: dog mom becca rescued her last year and is considering getting the pup's dna tested to be sure. why? >> i just feel like it will tell me more about her and her personality and why. maybe give me more insight so i can help her more. >> ever wonder what makes your dog well, your dog? >> reporter: ancestry long known for its human dna testing, recently launched a product called know your pet dna. brian donnelly helped develop the product which retails for about $80! you will swab the inside of your dog's cheek for like 60 seconds. >> reporter: pet dna testing is

booming. owners, vets and breeders spent more than $322 million on it in 2022. >> it's expected to grow exponentially just over the next five years. why do you think that is? >> you know, there's a thing about pets where they're just special l right? they're a real part of the family. 60% of u.s. households have a pet and over 50% of the people consider the pet part of the family. >> reporter: but the doctor a veterinarian and bioethicist at harvard medical school says the science of pet dna testing may not add up. >> if your goal is figuring out what breed of dog you have, then i think that they're fun and useful. the problem is we don't really have a specific idea of what a breed is genetically. so there's no real way to say the tests tell you much of anything that is something other than just for fun. >> reporter: for becca, fun is watching her puppy grow. >> i just want to make sure

that she's like living the best life she can. she's happy. >> reporter: we can tell that even without test. >> we started the campaign to get someone to gift this test to jessica burch. but a -- that would solve a lot of problems all at once. >> what if it came back. >> i'm not saying you have to help out but if you want to know what chopper is with me. i love my dog so much and he's so expensive already. >> right. really who cares. >> a big squeeze and just love him for the black lab mix that he is. >> he's 100% your dog. that's all that we know. >> yeah. >> that that was it. yes. he's 100% my dog. a quick look at what's going on outside as we head into the forecast. there's 100% chance that we're going to see rain late tonight and early tomorrow morning. all throughout the bay area. it's really interesting watching the storm system as it moves its way in from the gulf of alaska because we saw a similar storm tracking last week. bringing in cool weather and of course the

gusty conditions just ahead of the storm and of course rainy skies and we're getting a repeat of that this weekend. saturday and sunday, both days of rain and then we clear up into early next week so let's actually time this out for you starting off this morning because those clouds are holding on tight to us here in the bay. continue to watch the showers move in into the overnight hours tonight and early morning hours tomorrow. bringing in a series of heavy pockets of rain at times too. now for now, we're just seeing partly cloudy conditions and denser clouds along the coast into the afternoon hours today. here's that first band of rain moving in. but take a look at the time. it's just right there in the top of your screen. this is by 8:00 p.m. at this point we're still left with dry conditions. it's really not until the overnight hours close to around midnight where we finally start to see that band kind of sweep over the peninsula. continue to move off into the east bay with moderate pockets of rain at times too. to add to that, snow is going to start falling up into the higher elevated areas due to how cold this system really is. i mean we're talking about snow up near mount

hamilton mount tam potentially too and the system continues to wring out more moisture into the saturday afternoon forecast into the sunday morning forecast as well. as it builds all the way up into the sierra bringing them plenty of snow. this is an active storm. and we're going to see a lot of impacts from this when it comes to our temperatures and when itcomes to the gusty conditions. lock down all the outdoor objects today before you head outside and to add to that continue to watch the winds really build too. the winds getting close to around 30 to 40 miles per hour at times sweeping in from the south. into the evening hours tonight. it is going to be breezy as can be but let's take it a step back and let's talk about the temperatures. because yesterday, we were in the 80s. today, we're talking about 60s in our inland areas. upper 50s along the coast. and all the way down into the santa clara valley, we're holding on tight to the 70s today near san jose. but by tomorrow, we're talking about 50s so more on that coming up. for now back to you. there are some headlines in the news this morning that intersection with traffic and

here you go. you see one jackknifed big rig and one on its side. roads closed southbound 880 inhayward because of this. so slow conditions linger at the 238 connector ramp and over in san lorenzo. this is been going on for two hours. it will add more time to your morning drive so just plan on taking the alternate route as chp currently is having to tell drivers to take a detour. no word just yet when lanes will reopen. but we will keep you updated as traffic is very heavy in the east bay. over on highway 4 we also see sluggish conditions going westbound towards concord. and on the richmond-san rafael bridge, a bit slow for you as well as you make the drive over into marin county. there's a look right before the toll station there. plan extra time. that's your headline. shawn? all right, reed, state workers have just been ordered by governor newsom to come back to the office in sacramento and workers were told they need to be in the office at least two days a week starting in june. this impacts around 240,000

workers a significant policy shift. state workers have been able to set their own remote work policies since the start of the pandemic. >> you know, our scientists have already like stated is -- that this is going to have a negative impact on carbon emissions. >> during covid everybody was ordered to work from home and it just killed the local businesses. >> the union that represents state workers says each state department must send the union a notice and then meet with them before the workers can return to the office. bay area is bouncing back with a massive new food hall next to the ikea store. it just opened up in the mid market neighborhood and the hall is a two story space offering nearly a dozen food and drink options. mainly from local vendors. and there's also a cooking school. also talk about another bounce-back happening with san francisco's chinatown. hopefully with the city's night market returning tonight. huge crowds came out late last month and late last year. it brings music and fantastic food to grant street on the second

friday of each month. that's a live look in chinatown. i was there yesterday and i got the chance to catch up with some of the vendors preparing for another chance to bring people into the city in a neighborhood eager for more visitors to support local businesses. a strong showing in march for the first night market of the year in san francisco's chinatown. and organizers hope to see large crowds again in april and the rest of this year. >> i think it's important because you know, the -- the traffic in chinatown is being -- quite slow. >> max huang and his father run by me boba tea. a relatively new business in the neighborhood. they opened four years ago and had a rough start because of the pandemic. while 2023 was a decent year, they need to see more customers come through these streets this year. >> so we need you know, people, tourists to come to chinatown right? to eat, to shop, and you know, to consume, right? >> another vendor participating in the night market is the family behind gourmet kitchen

and house of dim sum, restaurants that have been in chinatown for years. >> i think the night market is very good for the community. it's going to be bring more people to chinatown. >> even for more established businesses, the impact of the pandemic is still making it tough for them to keep going in the current economy. >> after the covid, it's a little bit tough because a lot of changing, like the food costs and then -- it's hard to hire people. yes. it's still challenging. >> so vendors and community leaders hope the night market once again helps to showcase the cuisine and culture of chinatown. attracting more people to come out and keep returning back to the neighborhood. one way to ensure the survival of an essential business district in the city. >> the environment, the buildings, the, you know, the decorations. it's -- very close to home. so we think, you know, it's very attached to us. >> it's a place that means so much to families new and old who want to preserve a piece of home they get to enjoy each day in san francisco. so the night

market starts at 5:30 and goes until 9:00 and you will find more than 25 vendors along grant street between sacramento and jackson. and what's really cool is if you didn't already need a reason to go to chinatown, this is a chance to get to taste a lot of different things at once. get to sample in way that you probably wouldn't normally get to. if you just decided to spend a morning or afternoon there. >> something i'm so proud of. where chinatown is concerned is the influx of people who get off the cruise ships or come from the airports no matter what the airport is named or going to be named. right? and they go to chinatown and they learn of our history in san francisco. and just how integral cleantown is to the history in san francisco. >> beautiful day and spot the tourists and to know that that's still such a destination for people who visit the bay area. >> identity. got to protect it. all right, time now 6:55. looking for love in high places. the califo

all right, so forget tech, a northern california woman is going old school in her search for companionship. linda howard is advertising her availability through billboards. the humorous billboard in paradise has a picture of a chicken and

a list of her requirements. linda's hoping to build more connections and maybe score a date. >> there's a lot of single people at our age that -- is hard to find somebody. that's compatible. you know? so i'm just trying. i hopefully -- i will and i can hook up some people for the summer to go out and enjoy life. because life is too short and we all ought to have fun and meet new people in life. >> okay. so no apps but she does need you to email her. howard says this billboard will be up all month. and she plans to put up more in the future. it's started with a holiday themed billboard in december that led to a few dates and i guess she sold some cans that helped pay for it. so that's good to know. that it's not breaking the bank. >> she likes him to wear worn out jeans and work boots and i love her age requirements. 50 to 80. >> she knows her demo. she knows the demo. i love to see lake a series like you drive by and you get seven profiles back-to-back. that might be a thing. we can suggest it to her. yeah. >> all right. good for her. all right,
