and thank you for joining us this morning. it is tuesday, april 16th. >> let's get started. >> a pause in people's day is not a significant as not being able to find food. >> basically this is not fair for, you know, lot of people that are going to work. you know, they're trying to, you know, make some money. >> battling for a cause. while also giving drivers a headache during the bay area commute. protests shut down our bridges for hours. but will these protesters face tougher charges this time around? ♪ ♪

a portola pledge, the music festival coming back to san francisco. and wants to prevent another noisy nuisance. kind of ironic just -- everything else build up to that game seven. this is technically a game seven-type of environment and the same building. so we got to do it again. >> can we expect to see another vintage steph performance tonight? the dubs' leader ready for the kings as we count down to tip-off. oh, we cannot wait here on this set. i'm nicole zaloumis and do you want to get the chant going, gianna? >> should we? is it already time for let's go warriors, that's happening tonight though. let's do this guys. one and done. >> look at the arms man. he has got those shooting arms. good for him. >> reed is just now realizing that steph all day every day. you know, this bill -- >> glisten and he had the glisten and he like spritzed or something. >> it's called sweat when you are working out? >> good morning, everybody. if you are sweating the weather you don't need to be because

it's downright nice outside this morning at least i think so. but let's get an expert in. jessica, we understand today might be what i call good tomato planting weather. good morning. oh absolutely it is. and it's funny too because yesterday was kind of cool for us in the bay. but by the tomorrow we're talking about 80s once again. so we're kind of in the hybrid day for us today. slowly warming up into those 80s by tomorrow. what's happening is high pressure is moving its way in. so that's going to clear us up and it's going to dry us up and it is going to give us some nice warm temperatures but we are off to a cool start down into the santa clara valley. partly cloudy conditions are in the forecast for us this morning. lasting into this afternoon. very similar to yesterday. but big difference? well, it's the fact that we're going to be seeing a lot warmer weather right around the corner. this system starts to move its way in. it's kind of acting like a little bit of a heat dome keeping the rain clouds away from us. to add to that continue to watch drier conditions last into the weekend forecast with above average temperatures already in sight for us today. now our

daytime highs this afternoon, they're mostly sitting about four to ten degrees above average. upper 70s in our inland areas like concord and san jose and upper 60s just close to san francisco. and let's take san jose as an example. we will hit the 80s as we head into the forecast for wednesday and thursday. a similar trend with a little bit of a heat bump just into our weekend forecast. and all throughout the bay area, i mean, we're talking about spots like -- petaluma and santa rosa. we're going to feel that warmth today too. it's definitely a spring-like day for us throughout the bay. light winds and dry conditions. this is the type of forecast like reed mentioned to get out there and plant the tomatoes and plant anything in the garden and maybe take the kids to the park this afternoon. i mean we're talking about 77 today in san jose. 75 in los gatos. this is a stunning day to really take advantage of the forecast. the pollen count is high though. more on that coming up in a bit. for now over to you, g. thank you. starting off the look at our mapping system to see the green on the roadways this morning. which is good news and boy what a difference a day makes. not seeing any

delays or issues out there in comparison to yesterday's nightmare commute was. 101 out of marin and along the peninsula all checking in problem free. live look here t the golden gate bridge. great start so far, so good as you commute this morning. and if you are taking the ride over to the bay bridge e here's a look at traffic through there. heading into the maze. and right now we're not seeing a lot of issues or trouble spots there. traffic is actually moving along pretty well overall on most of the bay area freeways. well, let's take a live look at 880 and the golden gate bridge once again. traffic flowing normal this morning, a major reversal from what we saw yesterday during the peak of rush hour. you might have been caught in this. hundreds of protesters shut down these major bay area arteries. 880 in oakland and then the golden gate bridge. this was to draw attention to the war in gaza. some even using chains and barrels filled with concrete to block the roadway. we asked one of the protesters on 880 about their message yesterday. >> they want to say that

they're condemning what's happening and what israel is doing, at the same time they're giving them bombs and money. >> the shutdowns lasted into the early afternoon before chp was able to get all of the lanes reopened. and we know some of you were stuck in your cars and some people for more than four hours. >> the beginning when i was kind of afraid and i didn't know what was going on. this is not fair for lot of people that are going to work. they're trying to make some money, you know, and look what happened. >> well, while the chp had their attention on 880, another group took over the golden gate bridge. haifa pa troll thought something like this might happen but didn't know specific plans and protest organizers were very clear this action was not the last. spokesperson told us what's expected to come next. >> we're going to keep pushing until people pay attention and we know from our history that

people's actions work. and they won't listen to us unless we hit them where it hurts which is in the economic region. >> well, as the hours dragged on, people had no choice but to wait it out. as many did and although some were sympathetic, some were also frustrated. >> yes it's an inconvenient but it's also inconvenient to be a human being in gaza. >> when you have this level of disruption to our whole transportation system, i think we need to draw a line. >> well, chp says they arrested 26 protesters at the bridge demonstration and four cars were impounded and those arrested are facing multiple charges including unlawful assembly. but as crazy as the traffic blockage was this was not the first time a gaza protest of this magnitude happened. >> in november we remember this. this was during the apec summit and protesters took over the bay bridge. that time once again, calling for a cease fire in gaza and protesters we know

this, they snarled traffic for hours to get their point across. there were ramifications to many who were stuck there. in fact, ucsf transplant organs were delayed because they couldn't get over the bridge. protesters got what critics said at the time was really just a slap on the wrists. [ cheering and applause ] yeah, cheering. that's the so-called bay bridge 78. met with those cheers as they walked out of a san francisco courtroom avoiding jail time. and getting a deal to just do community service and pay a small amount of restitution money. well, 78 there, yesterday 38. they were arrested at both the golden gate bridge and 880 but this time, many say this new group will face some more aggressive charges. we wait and see, our shawn chitnis is live at the golden gate bridge with the breakdown of what we expect by way of charges and punishment this time. shawn? >> reporter: reed, good morning. yes, so we know there are a list of charges that they are looking at. those include unlawful assembly, resisting an officer, conspiracy as well as

a new one, false imprisonment. we have not seen that one before in cases like that. and that's because people were truly stuck in their cars or on the road for hours. and it does speak to the amount of preparation that the protesters took in planning what we saw around the bay area yesterday. to make sure it was as difficult as possible to remove them using both heavy chains and cement barrels. the chp was quick to get in position on the bay bridge during all this but perks say they can only be so proactive with their current staffing levels. >> every single law enforcement agency in california is shorthanded and the more that we put these folks in a position where they're sitting idly on a bridge, the more they can be doing things more productive elsewhere. so that's sort of a double edged sword and a personnel manpower challenge they have to deal with. >> reporter: so that's former fbi special agent jeff harp. he was actually one of the commuters who was caught up in

the traffic stuck because of the protest. he says another thing that makes these kinds of protests tough to get ahead of is that the planning is no longer on social media. it's all happening on encrypted channels. now what we talk about that new charge of false imprisonment. there are some including lawyers who believe that's going to be seen as excessive. but other law enforcement experts would point out that it actually will be seen as lenient compared to some of the charges protesters in other parts of the country will face for their actions yesterday. reed, back to you. >> all right, shawn chitnis, thank you. now this. and we didn't see protests just on our bridges. this demonstration in the south bay got tense for a few moments. this was outside of the tesla factory in fremont last night. protesters caravaned there, also part of the nationwide day of action demanding a cease fear in gaza. and an end to all u.s. aid to israel. >> i see so many people i know that just keep -- just going

back to their daily life. because they don't want the deal with it. we're just going to keep saying no. we're still here. you know? you cannot just turn your eye away from this. >> it was not just the bay area either. we saw protests all over the country. like at seattle's airport and the brooklyn bridge in new york and in chicago. a presidio hair forced travelers to get out of their cars and walk so that they could make it inside. as for the cause, the protesters are focused on, there are reports that israeli military is delaying its planned ground invasion into the southern gaza city of rafah. an estimated 1.4 million palestinian civilians are sheltered there after fleeing the fighting elsewhere. we brought you continuing live coverage of the protest shutdowns through the morning on air and streaming on cbs news bay area. we also have continuing coverage on our website at kpix.com. time now 5:10. get ready for another recall of a bay area district attorney. the

weather today and tomorrow and when you look at our long-range models, there's not a drop of rain in sight. are we finally in that dry period that we've all kind of been hoping for but they didn't want to say it out loud? here's the good news, well above average for the rainfall season so you can say it out loud. finally dealing with a dry break and so great to have it. here's what we have today for the daytime highs. 70s in the forecast for us this afternoon near san jose. stretching off into the east bay. we're pretty much all in the 70s in our inland areas with 60s along the coastline from half-moon bay into san francisco. 70s once again up into wine country. and anywhere from napa all way up into santa rosa. now as we take a look at the next seven days, well, there's really not too much of a change when it comes the least dry skies. but temperatures will kind of fluctuate just a bit as high pressure moves in. and out of the bay. another thing to mention too and i said this earlier, our pollen count is relatively high. so if you are sensitive to allergies like myself, we're in the medium to thigh category, it's worth noting there's a reason. there's a method behind the madness and that pollen count will remain high as we head into next couple of days. high pressure is the reason why

we're dealing with dry skies and at least some mild temperatures. i mean daytime highs today like we talked about sit in the 70s and by tomorrow, we're talking about 80s just around the corner. and here's our rainfall versus average. i brought this up yesterday to kind of paint the picture where we're at this season alone. just up until yesterday, i mean, we're now up to 99% of average off near livermore which is really impressive overall. and even more impressive numbers have been seen widespread throughout the state from santa rosa down into san jose and pretty much everywhere in-between as well. let me drop this real fast and let talk about a little bit about some rain. the lack thereof i should say. the dry skies because still going to be partly cloudy for us as we head into wednesday and thursday and lasting into friday with sunnier skies into the weekend forecast and that's in the inland areas. we're going to see the clouds kind of hold on tight to the coast for a bit longer so if you live near the bay, close to san francisco, or even oakland for that matter, we'll also see that warm-up in the wednesday forecast with partly cloudy skies lasting into the weekend. g? jessica, thank you. let's talk about the roadways right

now. because good news, everything is really quiet and easy commute so far. the live look at bay area bridges with the bay bridge first. and you can see it's nice ride overall we're not seeing any major issues or problems for anyone heading into san francisco right now. metering lights are off. and easy smooth commute heading over into the city. it's kind of the case for most of the bay area freeways thankfully. because yesterday was a very, very tough commute. but #:18 in the morning. not loot of cars out there. not a lot of volume. that makes it easier traveling through 880 or parts of some of the bridges. as well as that ride along the peninsula for 101. now if you are making that ride across the golden gate bridge, out of marin county, all lanes are open and all clear, no caltrans to slow you down on the north end sometimes we'll see that in the morning as they do road work along 101. but so far things are pretty quiet and smooth there. and live look at 880 here, yesterday this was all backed up. today all open and all clear and no delays. if you are near the coliseum this morning, traffic is moving along very well. and even in the south bay, as we take a look there, traffic is pretty

i said. all the friends who live near from pacifica into half-moon bay. san francisco is another good example. we'll see 70s today near wine country. and take a quick look at this. we have above average weather pretty much no matter where you live. so 70s and 60s and regardless you are dealing with beautiful weather this afternoon. dry skies for us all week long. we're finally catching that much-needed dry break that i'm sure all of us were really hoping for considering the fact that this rain chance model and our maps have been showing very active weather as of recent and it has been very active season. i mean take a look at the numbers. as of yesterday, we are well above average in areas like san jose and stretching up into san francisco. 116% of average just in the heart of the city. and we are so close to hitting 100% off near livermore for the season too. there's some big changes around the corner for us as we head into our summer season. but it was a very active winter and a very active spring. and no. it was not last year with the 17 atmospheric rivers but still the numbers really speak for themselves. a reservoirs are really high right now and we're seeing well above average numbers and

more on what you can expect for the rest of the dry week's forecast and really game plan to enjoy the beautiful weather. but for now over to you, g. jessica, thank you. well, going to enjoy the beautiful weather and you make your way towards some of our bay area bridges maybe you are going to take the golden state or the bay bridge today. maybe you will get to put the top down if you have got that kind of car. but right now it's a little chilly. wait a bit. but bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights are off. and it's a smooth ride into the city right now. and so far, so good on all of our major freeways. the only place we're tracking any sort of brake lights or delays is that ride into richmond this morning. westbound 80 just a few brake lights through there. here's a live look at the golden gate bridge. and we're seeing that volume now sort of traveling through. but overall, it is a fairly quiet commute for anyone making that ride out of marin county. 880 both directions looking good as well of course keeping aless eye on all the freeways. and the south bay, checking in problem free this morning on 101 as well as 280. traffic though moving much smoother this morning but it was a much different story yesterday after gaza protesters caused major blockage on the

golden gate bridge and interstate 880. 38 people were arrested and facing a variety of charges including one charge we have not really seen when it comes to demonstrations. false imprisonment. protesters were clear that this action was not the last and that they'll keep pushing until people pay attention to gaza. we brought you continuing live coverage of the protest shutdowns throughout the morning on air and streaming on cbs news bay area. we also have continuing coverage on our website at kpix.com. after a barrage of weekend attacks by iran into israel, prime minister benjamin netanyahu promises the war car net will respond with action. all options on the table this morning. this news comes at the time of growing international pressure to de-escalate in the hopes of preventing wider conflict in the middle east. something president joe biden has told benjamin netanyahu he needs to avoid. now a follow-up to a case involving the deadly shooting on a movie set in new mexico. the weapons supervisor on the alec baldwin movie "rust"
