( ♪♪ ) feel the power of osteo bi-flex®. taken every day, it's clinically shown to improve joint comfort in 7 days, with significant improvement over time. ( ♪♪ ) thank you for joining us this morning. it is tuesday, april 16th. >> let's get your tuesday started.
6:01 am
>> a pause in people's day is not as 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 built up to that game seven. this is technically a game seven-type of environment in 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. good morning to all of you. happy tuesday. i'm nicole zaloumis. steph curry,

flexing on the kings tonight. >> i'm gianna franco. i am so ready for tonight's game. getting that nap in early to make sure i can stay up a little late to watch the win. put it out there. >> don't you have a feeling? i have a feeling about this. >> the playoffs. >> last year was the growing season. well, just look back at it as a growing season. i'm reed cowan by the way and still growing. taking a live look outside on this tuesday morning. and the weather is such that maybe if you are planting something it will grow as well. good morning to jess. 80s, jess? 80s tomorrow, reed. [ laughter ] we still have 70s in the forecast today. but we're getting close to the 80s just in time for any gardening activities as we head into the workweek's forecast. we have some really big news for us. i mean we're warming up and we're drying up and our daytime highs today are reflecting a little bit of a high pressure system kind of moving its way in. giving us drier weather and 70s in the forecast for us. this is above average right now. not by much. by about five to ten degrees throughout the bay area. but it's worth noting we're off to a great start this week. a dry start and a warm start and
6:03 am
we'll continue to warm up even more as we head into our forecast tomorrow. 60s today near san francisco. let employee drop these real fast and let's talk about what's going on for the week. high pressure is moving its way in. just going to see some mix of sun and clouds in the forecast throughout this whole workweek's forecast. no more rain for now but been such an active season. it's kind offense with the rain chances and you see a complete zip and zero across the board. now it is going to be a drysetup for us this week lasting into the weekend. but i think it's important to kind of do a quick recap. the season has been a very active one for many of us. not only here in the bay area, but all throughout the state of california. we had over 51 atmospheric rivers hit our west coast throughout the season alone. and we're definitely seeing the impacts of it after all. i mean, well above average when it comes to our rainfall season. we're also seeing no drought conditions in the state of california. to add to that the reservoirs are high. kind of break apart how the season looked so far this year and more about the dry break we
6:04 am
have here in the bay area this week. but for now over to you, g. the backup is building at bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights are officially on and starting to see the slow and go commute kind of begin for the ride out of the east bay for anyone heading over into san francisco right now. looks like the delays just beyond that overpass. start thinking about grabbing the coffee and get going if your ride takes you across westbound 80 over to the bay bridge. other than that the roadways are fairly quiet. we have reports of an accident on 880 southbound in hayward. as you work your way from there down into union city. tracking a few brake lights. so likely that could impact your drive as you head over to the san mateo bridge this morning. so if you are making that ride through there, definitely i would say maybe grabbing that coffee to get going. all right. taking a live look at 880. and of course the golden gate bridge. traffic flowing normal this morning on these freeways and bridges. a major reversal from what we saw yesterday during the peak of morning rush hour. you might have been caught in? right here. hundreds of protesters shut down the major
6:05 am
bay area arteries and 880 oakland and the golden gate bridge. some even using chains and be barrels filled with concrete to block the road. 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. saying they want israel to be nicer and kill fewer civilians. at the same time, they are giving them bombs and money. >> well, the shutdowns lasted into the early afternoon before chp was able to get all the lanes reopened. we know some of you were stuck in your cars for more than four hours. >> at the beginning when i was kind of afraid and i didn't know what was going on. i was afraid for my life. this is not fair for, you know, lot of people that are going to work. and you know, they requiring to you know, make some money. and look what happened. >> now while the chp had their attention on 880. another group took over here. the golden gate bridge. highway patrol said they thought something like this might happen but they
6:06 am
didn't know specific plans. protest organizers were very clear this action was not the last. a spokesperson told us what's expected to come next. >> we're going to keep pushing until people fay attention. 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. >> and as the hours dragged on, people had no choice but to wait it out. although some were sympathetic to the protesters' actions, some were also frustrated. >> like yes, it's an inconvenience. but it's also an inconvenience to be a human being in gaza. >> when you have this level of a disruption to our whole transportation system, i think we need to draw a line. >> chp arrested 26 protesters at the bridge demonstration and four cars were impounded and those arrested are facing multiple charges. this wasn't not the first time. >> no, the bay area became a
6:07 am
national story late last year. you know, in november during the apec summit, protesters we remember this, they took over the bay and they called for a ceasefire in gaza and the bay bridge was shut down. that time, protesters snarled traffic for hours. and there were ramifications to many people who were stuck that were pretty serious. get this. ucsf transplant organs were delayed because they couldn't get over the bridge. protesters got what critics said was a slap on the wrist. watch. [ cheering and applause ] that is the sound of applause. the so-called bay bridge 78 met with cheers as they walked out of a san francisco courtroom. avoiding jail time and getting a deal to do community service. and pay some restitution money. well, 78 there. yesterday, 38 arrested at both the golden gate bridge and the 880. but this time, many say the new group will face some more aggressive charges. or at least they hope so. our shawn chitnis is live at the golden gate bridge with not only a breakdown of the charges, shawn, but sort of a look at the staffing of some of our
6:08 am
first responders as well. >> reporter: that's right. reed. good morning. and as we stand here we can see traffic moving in both directions. people likely feeling extra appreciative about the chance to cross the bridge without any issue on this day. but let's talk about the charges that we know protesters are facing in this case. that includes unlawful assembly, resisting an officer, conspiracy, as well as false imprisonment and that last one is one of the new charges we haven't seen before. because they were able to keep people who were stuck in their car for hours yesterday at these various locations and it speaks to how carefully the protesters prepared. making sure it was as difficult as possible to remove them. they were using heavy chains and barrels filled with cement as we've mentioned this morning. the chp was quick to get in position on the bay bridge during all this. but experts say they can only be so proactive with their current staffing. >> every single law enforcement agency in california is shorthanded. and the more that
6:09 am
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 that they have to deal with. >> reporter: that's former fbi special agent jeff harp who was actually one the commuters caught up in this yesterday. he says another thing that makes these kinds of protests tough to get ahead of is that we're past the days of planning on social media. all of this happening on encrypted channels. now there are some lawyers who are going to point to that new charge of false imprisonment and say that it is excessive. but other experts are saying that when you look at the charges being filed for protesters elsewhere, it will be seen as lenient. reed, back to you. >> all right, shawn, thank you for that. now this. and we didn't just see protesters on the bridges. this demonstration in the stout bay got tense for a few moments and
6:10 am
this was outside the tesla factory in fremont last night. protesters caravaned there. also as part of the nationwide day of action. demanding a ceasefire 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. just keep saying no. we're still here. you know? you can't 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 protest outside o'hare forced travelers to get out of the cars and walk to just make it inside. as for the cause protesters are focused own, there are reports the israeli military is delaying its planned ground invasion into the southern gaza city of rafah. estimated 1.4 million palestinian civilians are sheltered there after fleeing the fighting elsewhere. we brought you continuing live

drivers really lucky right here. a caltrain hit the car near the san martin station and it also pushed the guardrail right through the front windshield. amazingly the driver made it out of with only moderate injuries. now taking a live look outside on this tuesday morning. and this is one of those weeks we love here in the bay area. because it's going to be clear skies like this as the sun a rising and the sun is going to be shining and it's it's going to be warm, jessica. >> i know and the best part is, is you know, our state is not in drought and the reservoirs are high and we're well above average for the rainfall season. no complaints when we say we have a nice dry break for us here in the bay. let's dive into that forecast this morning. yesterday we were mostly in the 60s and today, we're in the 70s and by tomorrow, we're talking about 80s in the forecast for us with a continuous dry setup all throughout this week, seeing clear skies already near the santa clara valley and we're also seeing some mix of sun and clouds closer to our coastline and along the bay shoreline. so not off to a bad start and i will say this though. taking a look right behind me. our pollen count is still kind of high. so just keep that in mind as we head in the next couple
6:18 am
of days a and all the temperatures you see on map are above average. and we're going to continue to see above average temperatures all throughout the rest of this week. we're already sitting in the upper 60s near san francisco with upper 70s from san jose stretching over into concord. so off to an amazing start to there. and we're going to continue to get better weather into the forecast tomorrow. with 80s around the corner. now i mentioned the drought. and i also mentioned our rainfall versus average. and as we take a look at the map throughout the bay, we're 99% of average off near livermore. so we're really close to that 100% mark there but we're well past that anywhere from santa rosa down into the santa clara valley. keep in mind, this was a very active weather season and we talked about it earlier. we had 51 atmospheric rivers hit the -- not only the california coastline but all throughout the west coast actually over the season and as we start to see a drier setup throughout this week, that's something to kind of look back on and think okay. good news. our reservoirs like i mentioned are high and the snow pack was above average for the year up in the sierra. and of course this is just one season alone. compared to a
6:19 am
decade's worth. there's lot of changes. but nonetheless, this has been an amazing season. now as we take look at what's happening for us this week, this is a great way to go out there and enjoy the hills and go check out some nature and find a new trial to go explore with the flam. maybe later this week. we have sunny skies this weekend's forecast. and our inland areas and we're flirting back and forth with the 70s and 80s all week long. now if you are probably thinking to yourself okay, you are a little too ambitious jess. i don't plan on going outside that much this week. still it's a dry setup. if you have to do any outdoor activities or just get the groceries stone or no matter what it is. this is the week to get some things done around the house. outside too. it's beautiful and it's dry and it's a stunning forecast for us and we're also seeing 60s and 70s along the bay shoreline. we'll keep you updated on the forecast but for now over to you, g. >> a good week to maybe do some stuff in the yard. taking a look right now at traffic. so far we're not seeing too many trouble spot on the roadways. 880 starting to get just a little bit busy thickening up just a little bit
6:20 am
going southbound right around paseo grande but overall, it's a pretty normal commute for a tuesday. we do have some brake lights we're tracking out of hayward and southbound 880 working over to the san mateo bridge. that will affect the ride this morning. and the bridge is okay right here and slows down just a little bit and you will be tapping the brake lights as you get closer to the 101 side as you head into foster city. so this is the commute direction here westbound commuters, more volume and more traffic headed that way. once you are on 101 itself though, headed northbound maybe to sfo. good too go. southbound, no delays there. in fact overall we have a pretty good commute with the exception of this. this is getting busy, this is the bay bridge but this is to be expected at 6:19 in the morning with the metering lights on. nicole? time now 6:19 as you mentioned g. about to be 6:20 right now. taking a live look at chase center. the dubs won't be home tonight. but you will still have a chance to cheer on your warriors. a live look outside before we head to break. 6:20 in the morning. morning alcatraz. tourists, we hope you
