shelters are full, the probability of dogs having to be euthanized increases. our reality with this situation is that we are contemplating euthanizing for space. i always want to be really clear what we're talking about, that we're talking about dogs that are adoptable. we're talking about great odds. it's not anything that we want to be doing. that's why oakland animal services is extending their hours this week, wednesday through sunday, a spring into action. push for adoption, especially on thursday when the shelter will stay open until midnight that we are hoping that people come out in a big we will have nots makers. you know, again, we just really trying to make it easy to to adopt a great dog. >> has rob nesbitt reporting in addition to extending hours this week, oakland animal services is also creating some incentives to adopt by waiting all the adoption fees for big dogs and the oakland animal services need some help right now with another issue due to the unusually warm winter. they're seeing an early kitten season. and as a result, they

need some kitten food. they need lots of wet food. so we do have a link to their site on our website. kron 4 dot coms. you can find at the kitten food that they need how to get there. a san francisco lawmakers wants to require self driving car companies to report accidents and traffic violations to the dmv. assembly member matt haney introduced a measure. he calls the ab safety and transparency. bill. if it is signed into law, driverless car companies would be required to publicly report all crashes, traffic violations and incidents of cars stalling as well as assaults and harassment involving its fleet. he says his proposals about everyone's safety as reliance on self-driving cars will start to expand. we did reach out to waymo executives for their taken so far have not heard back. drivers have been using illegal license plate changers

some blue sky breaking through there. so francisco. >> starting to get a little bit of blue sky right now as we take a look at stormtracker 4, you can see that most of moisture has but we do still have some clouds, but they're moving rather quickly. so i do think we're going to see some clearing and the next couple of hours as we zoom out here, you can see it's really just all starting to push away. still a few snow flakes falling in this year, but they did drop their winter weather advisories. so things getting a bit better. there and is a look at future cast their 06:45pm. tonight. and as we go into this evening, as i mentioned, we're going to get some clearing a few clouds tomorrow, but then some really nice weather as we work our way into the latter half of wednesday with the exception of the wind, which is going to be picking up now. right now, you can see we are rather breezy, but it is an onshore push. you see the arrows kind of coming from the ocean going into the land. that means onshore flow. the difference is going to be tomorrow. we're going to see that flip and start to see an offshore flow which usually hear me talk about. we get into fire season and we worry about getting, you know, warm and dry from

that happening. we're going to see that happen, but not with the fire danger this time around. having said that, if we're windy, you got to be careful. we know that here in the bay area. so tomorrow at 05:00pm, we'll be under a wind advisory that does go from a lot of areas up in elevation, at least until 11:00am on friday. some of the other ones will start to drop it as we get to thursday night. but you can see it's everywhere in the north bay that is basically inland. same story for east bay and parts of the south bay as well. when you get into those inland valleys and also those those hills embers expecting gusts up to about 45 miles per hour. so just to show you here, the difference in the direction of the wind is what you want to look out for. so this is tonight. you still see that on shore flow. but tomorrow we start to see those arrows flip and now is get to the afternoon, especially if you look out this way by fairfield by napa, you start to see that real northerly flow and it picks up as we get into wednesday night and then really gets going as we get into thursday. so the timing for this is going to be wednesday that we need to look out for this afternoon and trees down. i think limbs probably would be the biggest

danger and maybe a few minor power outages. so not expecting a lot in the way of that. having said that, this is the time to secure that patio furniture and just make sure you're ready for this. outside of that. we've got a really nice, warm, gorgeous weekend, right after we kick the wind. you can see saturday and sunday looking great. well, the statue that immortalized as laker legend kobe bryant has been keeping a watchful eye over fans who enter crypto dot com or enough for about a month. >> but now there's a little bit of a problem going on here. there are multiple spelling errors on it. a german sports journalist made this discovery over the weekend. it has now gone viral. there are multiple players names that or misspelled on it, including von wafer and jose calderon. there's also word decision that is also misspelled. the company is that is responsible for making. this says it's aware about the errors and will correct them. there's the spelling error there with decision. some lakers fans,
