heading back to north dakota today. they said to say thanks for the great weather. well, tim and sherry, i do it for you. i'm happy. i hope that you spent lots of your money here in the bay area. mostly sunny. today temperatures will bump up a little bit, but not going bonkers or anything with friday on my mind, cold morning thirties forties we'll see temperatures now. sixties around the bay and then seventies, maybe a few pushing some mid upper seventies here is pretty close to where they should be this time of year. alright, sounds here at 701. three months still no, that is improved. steve, that's good. yeah, you know, and even the bay bridge is improving. so we had kind of a short window here for some crowding at the bay bridge. i want to show it to you. now it is not as backed up as it was earlier. there is a little bit of a backup here at the toll plaza, and it looks like there may be a stalled vehicle on the side of the road down, causing any delays. this is a look at the same mateo bridge. so the commute might be a little bit better. it is better so far, some slowing on highway four, but 6 80 looks good from walnut

creek 701. let's get back to the headlines south. thank you happening now. one day strike is about to get underway in oakland. hundreds of teachers will be out on the picket line in protest of a plan to close and merge several oakland schools. ktvu sally rasmus live at one school to bring us the action behind you and the district by details, alley. garcia representatives from the teachers unions say that they're expecting picket lines like this one at all oakland schools today but this one that we're in front of this is parker school. this is a k through eight school. it is slated to close at the end of this school year. so just weeks away, you can see about a dozen teachers and staff members here with their signs out on the picket line here. this one day strike is in response to oakland unified school districts plan to close or consolidate about 11 schools over the next five years . now, this is just a one day strike, but open unified school district is reminding parents today district wide keep your kids home today they won't be able to cover all the staff absences. now the district says this one day strike is an illegal labor action. oakland

education association obviously disagrees. and they say that 75% of their voting members support today's strike. they say they also had the community's support . we spoke to one of the teachers on the picket line this morning about what they hope this one day strike will accomplish. what it does is let the school board know that all they've done really is upset the community and made the community gathered together to fight against them. what i hope comes out of this is that they stopped the school closures and really look at the other ways they need to start saving money in the district. teachers here say the administrative costs at usd are higher than they are in other large school districts of similar size. and so that's the way they say some of the expenses need to be cut before closing schools now, the district says these closures are needed to deal with a steep budget deficit and in a statement to ktvu, the district's chief academic

officer says in our district we've been facing declining enrollment for decades. sustaining many small schools stretches our resources thinly across too many schools. instead of allowing us to invest more deeply in fewer schools. oh, usd says any student absences today will be excused again. they're asking parents. district wide not to send their kids to class today because of the strike. this is just one of several picket lines across the district again. parker school in east oakland. k through eight about 260 kids. it is on that closure list at the end of this academic year. so teachers plan to have a news conference here in the next couple of hours, and then they'll be joining with the longshoreman's union and other unions this afternoon for a rally near oakland city hall. live in oakland. ali rasmus ktvu . box two news. thank you. time 704 will happening today, a group of campus protesters in berkeley plan to disrupt classes at uc berkeley this morning, the protesting a plan to build affordable student housing at people's park near the cow campus. ktvu is james torres is

good morning, dave lee, you can see and hear the strike underway here behind us. this is outside parker elementary and east oakland. you can see there's about a dozen teachers and supporters out here with their signs and chance out here on the picket line. this school has about 260 kids k through eight school, and it is slated to close. at the end of this school year. now this one day strike by the oakland teachers union is in response to the district's plans to close and consolidate as many as 11 schools over the next five years. now this is just a one day strike, but oh, usd is calling parents. across the district to keep their kids home today, they say, because they expect a lot of teachers to participate in this at all district schools. they won't be able to cover all the teacher absences. the district calls this one day strike and illegal labor action. the oakland education association obviously disagrees. and they say 75% of their voting members supports today's strike. they say they also had the community's support . we spoke to one of the

teachers on this picket line at parker. about what this school means to the community. the school is basically my neighborhood school. these kids are my neighbors. um yeah, it's just you know that these kids are going to have a hard transition next year and that the district's not really going to support them which we've seen with other school culture. now when this school closes the students here k through eighth graders will be sent to one of three different elementary and middle schools in the area. but all of those schools are more than a mile away from this location, so the teachers expressed some of the concerns about about how those kids are gonna be able to get to schools and the burden that's going to place on families in response. the school district says they have been facing declining enrollment for decades. and they said quote sustaining many small schools, stretches or resources thinly across too many schools instead of allowing us to invest more deeply in fewer schools. that's why oh, usd and the school board say they have to enact these closures. oh, usd

says they will be excusing any student absences today because of this one day strike again. they're asking parents to keep their kids home across the district. in the meantime, these picket lines are expected to be out here and at other usd schools throughout the day. teachers plan to have a news conference here sometime in the next half hour and then later this afternoon, will be joining with the longshore workers at oakland city hall for a rally this afternoon live in oakland. ali rasmus ktvu. fox two news, ali. thank you next door. the berkeley unified school district has released new numbers on covid. that show new cases tripled at berkeley schools last week compared to the week before . the district says it had 91 new cases last week, likely due to the highly transmissible macron variant and the loosening of mass restrictions. health department says the increase reflects an uptick in covid cases across the bay area. marine county is responding to the reason increase in covid cases there by tightening safety recommendations for events such as proms and graduations. according to the marin

game, both venetia police and the akp say it's created a dangerous situation for many people in town. this has been something that has been going on for a very long time. and if you do not address it it will be going on. even further. you have a bunch of kids running around in dark clothing. we've had reports of kids hopping fences running in and out of traffic, doing dangerous things. some students say they've been harassed, even injured while playing the game. the police departments now working with school and community leaders, in hopes of bringing it to an end time is 7 37 will starting this weekend a new effort to add mass transit options in marin and sonoma county will begin smart train is bringing back its sunday service. and smart is making some other changes designed to speed up commute times and increase ridership. now you can get the details on these weekend schedule changes by going to the smart train website traffic. should we start with mass transit salaries it

more, you know, two hands on the wheel. well garcia since you asked, i will mention mass transit at first, and we don't have any major delays, geisha and day, which is good, and but i would suggest mass transit getting into san francisco later. there's a giants game at oracle park. steve and i have been talking about that. steve has some good news. weather wise, but i'm not going to steal his thunder. but i will tell you that if you're driving into san francisco tonight, there will be more people for that game. it's fireworks night at oracle park. this is a look at the bay bridge. there's a little bit of a back up here and it hasn't been as robust as the first four days of the work week. this is a look at that silicon valley community beginning to wake up a little bit. nothing major and the same mateo bridge kind of right in the middle of the bay. that commute looks pretty good. at 7 38. let's talk to steve. now about today's weather. alright sal. thank you, sir. our weather is a lot quieter, wind wise. it'll start to bump up a little on the temps, but we get viewers from all over here. kells down in arizona. steve grab your clubs come on, down to

arizona humidity and low nineties make for the best tempts. you know, when i go to arizona, it's usually about 1 15. so low nineties sounds good. yeah, that's about heat about tpc scottsdale. i i'd play there are true north love to go to true north. i used to know the club pro there. his name was hugh edgemont. great guy heck of a golfer, and that would be take those two. how about that? 23 24 , truckee and south lake tahoe 40 in uk, a phoenix speaking of 66, their lowest 64. oh, that's a nice morning to go out and get that walk in. before it gets to be 90 degrees. yeah alright. sal mentioned it, and we'll mention it again. it will not be as bad will still be cool, but not as windy when i mean it was brutal for a couple of days there during the bay bridge series, so it's still chilly. just not as bad as it was. temperatures will rebound today, but really only sixties by the coast. inland temps will bump up to the mid seventies, maybe a few pushing the opera the far enough inland. you can get that this time of

year, but saturday pulled back a slightly on a few more high clouds and a little cooler. but santa rosa, san francisco conquered san jose after an unseasonably cool day for many yesterday. today we'll bump it up, but still these are about normal for this time of year sixties. low to mid seventies just want to emphasize the water temps are amazingly cold for us for the end of april. 48 49 is about as cold as our water temps ever get. i'm sure bodega bay is in there. so when it's that cold at san francisco buoy, that translates into really chilly temps a lot of time for the city, especially if you have a westerly breeze or a northwesterly breeze. still 38th anapa airport, but mostly forties now and fifties. we bottomed out on the temps. woodside still says 38, stanford, 39 atherton, menlo park, both at 40 minutes mid forties, although el granada did drop to 41 the high builds in for a day, but these systems keep marching into the north. and they suppress that high. they don't allow it to build in and lock in like we've seen so many times over the last three years, so few high clouds overall overall, it's nice, 50 60 seventies on the temps. that will be the theme into the

jose has a little bit of a back up here and you can see it. there have been no major issues in the san jose commute, 7 49. let's bring steve in to talk about today's weather. sal. it's pretty nice here already. although it was a little cold here this morning we had a lot of 30 showing up didn't last long. but still, there were some from north to south all the way from mendocino county lake county down into the santa cruz mountains and even a few on the peninsula. palo alto woodside, i'll checked in around 38 39. now we're starting to see more forties. we get high pressure building in, but it's not strong. it'll i mean, we get these systems coming into the north. they show up one day and then the highest shows up the next. so one day we warm up that'll be today. tomorrow will back off a little and warm up against sunday before we back off again on monday, the pattern still staying active into may is the way it's looking here, at least to the first couple of weeks. forties for most right now, a couple low fifties but most occasions in the forties, there's your thirties for the santa cruz mountains, boulder creek. scotts valley, felt all in 38 got closed for santa clara campbell and san martin. they were down to 40 santa cruz

capital in aptos, at one time were all 42. systems are plowing into the pacific northwest. we just get the tail end of a few high clouds. but as long as those systems go in the high doesn't build far north that far to the north. so which means we state temperature wise pretty close to where we should be. over the next 2 to 5, probably even seven days, maybe even going below. looking forward here around may 5th and ninth and 10th signs of some pretty strong systems coming in. we'll see. but i tend to believe it. 50 60 seventies on your temps a little warmer today. slight cool off saturday warmer sunday tuesday looks like maybe the warmest of the bunch, maybe a few pushing upper seventies to near 80 days. alright steve. thank you times having 51 huge fire burned during the night under the bridge near oakland lake merritt amphitheater. look at the pictures. tony y inspectors may go back there today. edit tornado in kentucky almost wiped out a town incredible pictures, but the residents there have been working hard to rebuild, and when we come back, we'll get a live report and find out what they're doing to overcome all of this.

54.s our birthday and santa clara county wants to plant 1000 trees that school campuses. the goal is to improve what's called tree desserts and also encourage a sense of environmental stewardship among young people. arbor day is dedicated to preserving and planting trees. nine months after a horrible tornado swept through a town in western kentucky. that community

there is coming together for arbor day to plant trees to restore those that were damaged. reporter stephen moore gagnon. fox weather is in mayfield, kentucky. good to see you again , stephen, and you're going to tell us how people are that remembering what was destroyed, but they're trying to move ahead. good morning. good morning, dave and it and it might seem almost silly. it's like trees. but when we deal with the type of tornado, which tore through mayfield, the landscape changes or at least it can and that's exactly what happened. it has been several months since this tornado moved through back on december 10th. so we're going on five months now, and some of the same people that i spoke to when i arrived days after that tornado talk to them again. it's only been about four or five months, though right and the rebuilding process is pretty slow. but take a listen to what one dentist had to say to me. a lot can change in five months, pushing my patients pretty good. it's

pretty tough. but for many people in mayfield, kentucky, change isn't coming quite as fast as they had hoped after the deadly tornado tore through their town last december, six months, no works right. no help try it. this is west mills. we last spoke to him just days after the ef four tornado carved a path of destruction through mayfield, destroying his dental office he's worked at for 22 years. dr mills told us at the time he wasn't sure if he'd be building again. this is total devastation. i don't think anybody is going to be able to build back has to concern that i have. but since we last saw him in december, changed his mind. yeah, we have employment coming in. electrical plant come in, and then a concrete comes on. you know, we got knocked down from covid. and we came back, and then all of a sudden we got wiped out on the tornado. and i can say i can't turn my back on the community like this. not

many, but some days i pull into the parking lot of city hall. nobody's there now, but and i'll have about a two minute good cry . mayfield mayor kathy stewart o nan is hopeful more business owners and residents will choose to rebuild a daunting task as more than 60 businesses were damaged or destroyed. and around 1200 mayfield residents were displaced. for the most part. i think the businesses are staying if they're not staying in the downtown area, they are relocating within the county and even with help from others in the community and beyond, mayor onan says, there's a long road ahead. we've talked to other towns who have rebuilt like this, and they all give us a 10 year. line and still then not perfect, but better nearly five months into this long rebuild west mills dentistry is seen progress with a newly poured footer. and there are other signs of hope, appearing as well

on that facility, they have a metal sign propped up on their property. and it is just the word. hope hope that the roots of the people who live here will be enough to hold them to the town and not let the storm forced them out for good. it may not be the smart move, but i think it may be the right move. and we'll see you in time. and that's you know what they have a lot of time to rebuild, and for dr mills, he said. hopefully, by the end of july, he'll be able to have his office up and running. keep in mind. he's not had work. for the past five months because the tornado devastated that that business that he had for 22 years, but it's the small steps and so as far as what's happening on this arbor day, fox weather and one tree planted teaming up harmon park about five minutes or so of a walk down there. we're going to be donating some pencil holly's and that's happening at about two o'clock central time later this afternoon, and it is a small thing, but hopefully

this is the beginnings of that recovery. get the landscape escape back up and everything else will incrementally improve . at least we hope, but something for perspective, dave . i mean, the post office here opened up about three weeks ago. it's been closed since then, so everything has to almost start from scratch when a tornado tears through the heart of a downtown as as this one did in mayfield back in december. stephen morgan. another great report from mayfield, kentucky. thank you. and don't forget you can get more coverage like this on the fox weather app or by streaming fox weather on your favorite two bys. just download the app right now. by scanning the q r code you see on your screen. you can also downloaded in europe store. it is 7 59 at the nfl draft, round two and three will be held today. everything's happening in las vegas, the 49ers without a pick in the first round will be a lot more active today. they have picked 61 in round two and two more selections in round three.

all they've done really is upset the community and made the community gathered together to fight against them. what i hope comes out of this is that they stopped the school closures and really look at the other ways they need to start saving money in the district. the district is calling on parents to keep their children home today as they won't be able to cover all the staff absences. coming up at 8 30 ktvu valley, rasmus will have a live report with the reaction from the district and the teachers plans for a rally later today. happening today. also a group of campus protesters in berkeley plans to disrupt classes at cal this morning. they are protesting a plan to build affordable student housing at people's park near cows. campus ktvu is james torres joins us live this morning with more on the story, james hey, mike. good morning to you. well people's park is only about three blocks away from where we're standing right now. we're standing in front of, say, the gate here. you see the students walking in heading into class? we heard the first bells ring

just a few moments ago. today is actually the formal final day of classes from any of these students before they enter a week of study hall before their final exams. and we know those protesters were just at people's park about a half hour ago. they're already starting to march over this way to begin that protest for the day. certainly it's no secret u. c. berkeley has a housing shortage, in fact, at one point earlier this year a judge said the school would have to admit about 3000 fewer students because there wasn't enough housing available for its growing student population. i feel like most students go into this process blind and not knowing how bad and how difficult it is to find a roof over your head in berkeley. i definitely was not prepared. to be this stressed about housing every year and about like rent. the state legislature and in a bypassing that ruling, which now allows cow to continue its emissions as planned. now the university is working towards building more affordable housing. one plan targets people's park near the campus. where the school hopes

to house about 1100 students. the mayor of berkeley, says the school is looking at nine total sites to build on each are in and around the city of berkley and not on cal's campus. you know the campuses set of policy that they will not build on the campus park itself. um and i think they should reconsider that, as there is land that's available to build student housing. other campuses built housing on the on their actual campus park itself. those against the people's park plants say it is not the right place to build a worry for the homeless people who will be replaced and what the housing buildings will do for some of the neighborhoods cost of living in the past. university says there's a plan in place to house people from the park at a nearby hotel, using funds from a state homeless grant. this morning that group of people made up of residents and students say they plan a protest in front of, say, the gate here at uc berkeley's campus, they say they also want to preserve the historic nature of the park. they are marching

over this way. coming from the park itself. they say they plan to have some sort of human wall that would prevent students from actually going to class. their goal is to actually disrupt classes. at some point today. we did hear from the university just moments ago in a statement , they say they are looking forward to beginning this building process coming up in the summer, and they say a recent survey showed about 65% of the student body. does support their plans to build we're live this morning at berkeley. i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news, james. thank you. officials at sonoma state university or advancing a no confidence vote against the president there, judy sakaki. the academic senate advanced to the full faculty. a no confidence vote on sakaki is leadership yesterday, student groups held in march calling for her resignation. the press democrat recently reported a $600,000 settlement paid to former provost who said she faced retaliation after relaying reports of alleged sexual harassment by the president's estranged husband. lobbyist patrick mccollum. both sakaki

lift the mask mandates. i think at the very end of the day, bart. ah should you know, like the company could just investor in having carts that has masks versus cars that you know, like, doesn't require any masks and at that point you're safe, fair. many writers said they didn't know the mask mandate on bart had been temporarily dropped because so many people still wear their masks on the train at the station 12 on the clock friday morning back to shall we go any problems with bart this morning? you know? no not really. mike. i've been watching mike and garcia. it's looking pretty good, and i would suggest taking barred into the city tonight. if you're going to oracle park for that game, it's fireworks night. i think it's going to be well attended. and parking down there, of course, is never that great. it's pretty expensive. actually this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza and people are coming into san francisco. now, this is the busiest time we've seen it. on fridays. you really don't know what you're going to get. you're

josn a courthouse today. 28 year old jose portillo and 43 year old yesenia ramirez made their first court appearance yesterday. prosecutors say portillo is the man seen in the surveillance video taking the child from a second floor apartment on elm street. that was back on monday . around one o'clock in the afternoon, the baby was found safe just a few miles from the child's home about 20 hours later, investigators say the two people charged with the kidnapping knew the baby's mother through their church. the child's mother spoke outside the courthouse yesterday. let me tell you. it's very hard as a mother to look at the woman who

took your baby and being able to contain yourself from saying anything. you can't do anything . we are always incredibly concerned. when a child is taken from his mother. this is more unusual. and more frightening. a third person, once named as a suspect has now been released from the county jail after the charges against him were dropped . however, prosecutors are not really now taking him back into custody if new evidence comes to light linking him to the kidnapping happening today, sonoma county will conduct an emergency alert test. the county's been distributing weather radios to anyone who wants one for more than a year. now the county can use the alert function on the weather radios to notify people about hazards or threats, such as flood warnings or wildfire evacuations. the test alert will go off on the weather radios today at noon. police chief says the use of force by officers dropped by as much as a third in 2021 compared to the year before. the department, says new data show in 2021 officers

didn't use any guns, batons or neck restraints during any use of force incidents. the data also showed there were fewer uses of weapons by officers overall, even as more suspects resisted officers. we implemented de escalation training that's coupled with crisis intervention training, and one of the key principles is to, um, wait for cover and to have additional support before force is applied so the data are available on the vallejo pd website. the police officers union argued there were fewer incidents because there were a few officers on the street. the company that analyzed the data disputes that and says the data show an increase in officers present at use of force incidents, not a decrease, and we're seeing new video this morning from san leandro of an armed carjacking. the alameda county sheriff's office took this video showing the suspect driving more than 100 mph. on surface streets. the driver eventually stopped the vehicle

and then ran away, but he was eventually arrested. fortunately no one was hurt in the incident. home surveillance video in berkeley captured the moment a car was burglarized. you can see a man get out of an audi a four in break into an older model of the same car. the men ransacks the vehicle before getting back into his own vehicle and then driving away that vehicle's owner says nothing of value was stolen. but this is the fourth time his car has been targeted 19 let's see if we can get you out the door. typically fridays are all right. and that's the case today. sal is it's a little better than it was yesterday and the first four days of the commute week. we had some pretty bad ones. tuesday and wednesday . let's go out and see the bay bridge. it's still crowded. it is getting a little better. it's beating to loosen up a little bit. and if you have the luxury of waiting around, i think that would suit you. to get into san francisco. just remember that getting out on a friday is always busy, especially early in the afternoon. this is a look at interstate 80 in oakland that looks very good in both directions and the same. mateo and dunbarton bridge had been

uneventful. we don't talk a lot about the golden gate bridge. because there's not a lot of traffic on it. and unless the fog is an issue, this commute remains easy. so that's what when someone asked me. why don't you show it? it's because we usually have a lot worse traffic to show but i showed it. here it is. so steve, now at 8 19. you showed it. you're good. yeah, usually it's quite you know. there's nothing going wrong. we don't show good traffic because we have a lot of bad traffic. that's true. thank you, sir. alright sal's mentioned this many times if you're heading out to the giants nationals game tonight, not as bad as tuesday and wednesday. thank goodness i mean that that was candlestick. esque it'll still be clear a little breeze, but it will be much more comfortable still going to cool side as we go into not only friday, but also the weekend here after a windy pattern here for the bulk of this week, except for a few high clouds, mainly to the north, we're good to go had a lot of thirties this morning and forties. now we're seeing forties and fifties, there will be a little bit of a west northwest breeze, but it won't

be the windy patterns slight cool down on saturday, then another warm up on sunday yesterday was unseasonably cool. only 57 in the city went 62 today, pretty close to seasonal averages conquered up to 75 san jose 72 santa rosa, from 70 to 74. these are right about where they should be now. mount diablo yesterday dropped 34 cool cold degrees. this morning. there are 42 with the north wind to 27. there were 34 with the northwest of 50 history. a lot of low fifties right now, the brent woods out of the gate there with 57 degrees 52 sunny ville stanford campus dropped to 39. palo alto is now 52, so it doesn't take long to warm up your upper forties. and also fifties. we had a lot of thirties in the santa cruz mountains was close for others little chill. now we're seeing forties and fifties, so we reached the coldest temps already in the morning. the pattern still stays active. i mean, these these blows continue to march in and then they drive down into nevada. so what they do is they give us a few high clouds and also crank up the breeze. so today's a lot quieter as the high builds in that next system, though we'll see the

breeze pick up again, along with some cloud covers on saturday. sunday looks warmer than monday. looks like another repeat performance of breezy, cool conditions. 50 60 seventies on your temps today. very nice, very pleasant as we round third and head for home on april and head into maine. looks like a quiet pattern. you guys a little warmer, warmer one day little cooler. the next copy then. right, steve. thank you. a new study is giving dog lovers a chance to better understand their dog's personality, saying that it has nothing to do. with their breed. researchers from the university of massachusetts chen medical school had more than 18,000 dog owners, complete personality surveys about their pets. they then took dna samples from more than 2000 different pups to analyze their genetic makeup. we couldn't find any evidence that ancestry from any particular breed actually has an influence on things like whether dogs are reacting aggressively to two things in their environment. and what that suggests to us is that those behavior is very shaped by by by dogs, environment and by their

life experiences and very little by their genetics. researchers say only 9% of personality differences between dogs were actually related to their breed . 23 teenagers running around at night, weaving in and out of cars and into backyards. the 16 year old student who says this game lead to harassment and increased safety measures in san francisco's chinatown, the program that's now in action and how it aims to keep shoppers and how it aims to keep shoppers and business own it's still the eat fresh refresh, at subway. and they're refreshing everything. even their italians. woah. you talking italians? jimmy's gonna take it from here. refresh italiano see, subway now has italian-style capicola, and you can try it on top of belgioioso fresh mozzarella on the mozza meat. or, stack on three more italian-style meats with the supreme meats. it's just like my nonna makes when she cooks! i don't cook. wait, what? it's a good thing he's so handsome. it's the eat fresh refresh at subway. and they're gonna keep refreshing and re-

thee rising problem of commercial retail theft in the city. the program will allow businesses to contract off duty sheriff's deputies to provide additional security and commercial corridors. and retail establishments. this was all spearheaded by supervisor joseph i. who worked with businesses as well as the san francisco police and sheriff's departments. this is not just about arresting people and locking them up. this is truly about stopping intervening and suppressing crime before it happens. but supervisor says the partnership with the sheriff's department expands an existing effort that lets business owners hire additional security by contracting off duty police officers in east bay business owners looking for answers after two of his pharmacies were targeted by thieves just days apart. surveillance video shows a u haul pickup truck pulling up to the new oakland pharmacy in oakland's chinatown at about 3 15. yesterday morning. we see

the driver back up into the business over and over again. until the truck breaks through into the lobby. six people then raid the pharmacy. the owner says. just a block away. eight people forced their way into his other pharmacy using a crowbar. this happened at about 3 30 tuesday morning. become wealthy pair because we know that the professionals they all wear gloves. and also the way they parked their cars. you cannot see the license plates. in both cases, the burglars didn't get away with much, but the damage was extensive. the owner says. i'll have to spend more money to make his stores more secure. well, it's one of the amazons. biggest sales events of the year. still to come. what we know about this year's prime day teachers are on strike right now in protest of a plan to close and merge several schools what the district says families shouldn't do today, even though the schools are open.

the giants. hosting a game at oracle. parkettes fireworks, not i think that game is going to be well attended. so keep that in mind if you're looking to get into san francisco this morning, right now, at the bay bridge, it looks like there's a crowd of about maybe 10 minutes before you make it onto the span this friday afternoon commute. gets going early. probably have figured that out. but just reminding you of that this is a look at interstate 80 north and south, and there have been no major issues. cemetery bridges a decent alternative for the bay bridge in both directions. 8 32 . let's go back to the headlines. thank you, sal. happening now protesters are gathering on the calle campus in the latest demonstration against the university's plan to build student housing at people's park. coalition of berkeley students and community members is gathering for protest. they're calling defend people's park. this is a live picture here, as people are gathering and making signs there on the calle campus. now the school wants to build two dorm buildings on the site that could have some 1100 students. the buildings would take up about a third of the existing park.

space protests started just about 30 minutes ago. it is set to go into the evening. so keep in mind if this is your part of town we're going to bring in ktvu james torres. he has a live report from the cal campus in the next hour on the future of people's park. staying in berkeley here. the berkeley unified school district has released new numbers on covid. the data show. new cases tripled at berkeley schools last week compared to the week before. the district says it had 91 new cases last week, likely due to the highly transmissible omicron variant and the loosening of mask restrictions. health department says the increase reflects an uptick in covid cases across the bay area in the north bay marine county is responding to a recent increase in covid cases by tightening safety recommendations for events such as proms and graduations. according to the marin independent journal. the county health department says there has been a big increase in cases following spring break and recent events recently more than 50. students at redwood high tested positive following the school's prom. earlier this month, dozens of students tested positive after a school trip to washington d. c. the county's

advising schools to require proof of vaccination, negative covid tests and masking if large events are indoors. a new report finds california's k through 12 public schools returned to more normal conditions this spring for students, teachers and parents. the public policy institute of california statewide survey found the decline in covid case rates and the lifting of mask mandates helped bring normalcy back to many schools. while most adults say they approve of governor newsom's handling of public education during the pandemic, more than 40% of parents say their child fell behind academically development in the search for a missing oakley woman who disappeared three months ago. authorities now have released video of a person of interest in the case of 24 year old alexis game and shows a hooded man wearing a mask walking near oakley road in belden lane. investigators say they believe the man in the video may have abandoned the missing woman's car a few miles away. from this intersection shortly after she disappeared on january 26th. i can attest that

we have literally searched land , sea and air for alexis. we strongly suspect foul play, and we seek the public's assistance in locating alexis. the city of oakley is also offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in the case. authorities indonesia are warning about a controversial and dangerous game being played by some teenagers there. teens call the game lami gra, a slang term for federal immigration agents, investigators say older teens pretend to be ice agents and go around town trying to catch younger students. who pretend to be on the run. in addition to the offensive nature of the game, both venetia police and the it's created a dangerous situation for many people in town. this has been something that has been going on for a very long time. and if you do not address it it will be going on. even further. you have a bunch of kids running around in dark clothing. we've had reports of kids hopping fences running in and out of traffic, doing

dangerous things. some venetia high school students say the game has led to them being harassed and even injured. the police department is now working with school and community leaders to explore ways to bring this game to an end. starting this weekend, a new effort to add mass transit options in moran and sonoma county will get underway. smart train is bringing back its sunday service. and smart train is making other changes designed to speed up commute times and boost ridership. you can get the details on these weekend schedule changes by going to the smart train website. alright let's see what the weekend holds a lot of softball games. i think our little neighborhood swim club opens tomorrow. steve paulson. i needed to be a good deal warmer before i dip a toe in the pool. once you're in the pool, it's alright. it's getting out that winds blowing oh, my gosh, cuts right through, but it will be much quieter. you too. now sal mentioned that all quiet on the golden gate bridge, and that's true. he's not. he's not lying, and it's clear there. but you're thinking maybe i'll take a little swim outside the gate. are you sure you want to do that? it's their trust me. it's

there. there it is. see clear right there. the water temps are really cold for us. san francisco bowie is 48 brisk degrees. so you get temperatures like that upper forties and very low fifties. anytime you combine that with a westerly breeze. and it's at night. you'll feel it, although it will not be as windy as it was on tuesday and wednesday. still though, i would bundle up it, it'll be a little bit better than it was last couple of games, that's for sure. except for a few high clouds. they're moving into the north. we are all set for a warmer debt. only a teeny bit of fog. i think most of it's gone by now, though, 50 60 seventies on attempts, the breeze will pick up this afternoon. but again, it's it'll be the normal zephyr and not that robust what we have. santa rosa san francisco conquered in san jose. up up up, not not. i mean, these are but they were so far below average yesterday. they're actually getting close to average today. fifties on the temps had some thirties this morning north to south all the way from mendocino county lake county down into the santa cruz mountains. don't think we'll see that repeated that in english europe in mendocino county are probably lake county, maybe

parts of areas north of the golden gate, where they'll get a few high clouds. the rest of us will have sunshine. the pattern, though, is not locking in. it continues to be progressive, and it looks like that's the way it's going to be as we go into the first seven, maybe 14 days of may, so the high builds in for a day. then it gets knocked down by a system coming in. that picks up our breeze gives us a few high clouds were repeat the process all over again. about three days. four days later. no rain yet, but you can see where the patterns it's up near the oregon border possibility of something on the fifth. and then for sure, on the ninth and 10th of the forecast models are are are right. that's pretty far out, but they put in pretty deep system on us on the ninth and 10th so maybe we're not done with rain yet. 50 60 seventies on your tips weekend looks nice little warmer one day little cooler. the next sunday looks warmer tuesday might push a few upper seventies 10 or 80. steve thank you. it's 8 38 happening now, frustration and resolve on the picket lines in oakland this morning, oakland teachers are staging a one day strike in protest of a planned school merger and closure plan by the oakland unified school district. ktvu alley. rasmus live here at

one school where we just heard from members of the teachers union alley. yes the president of the oakland education association, the teachers union here in the district, as well as some members from the national union. the national education association, also spoke. they just wrapped up their news conference here, but you can see the picket line. out in front of parker elementary school. this is a k through eight school in east oakland thought about 260 students, and this school is one of the 11 that is slated to close. at the end of this school year. there are other schools in the district slated to close over the next five years as part of a district and school board approved plan, and that's what this one day strike is about here today. many of the teachers say they have the support of the community as well in opposing the plan to close these schools . now the district has called the one day strike an illegal labor action. the oakland education association obviously disagrees with that. earlier this morning, we spoke with one of the teachers on the picket line here to ask them what they hope to accomplish today with

this one day strike what it does is let the school board know that all they've done really is upset the community and made the community gathered together to fight against them. what i hope comes out of this is that they stopped the school closures and really look at the other ways they need to start saving money in the district. that was surprising when 100 people came to the to the meeting here about the school closures. to me, that's a signal that there is genuine community support. oakland unified school district says these closures are needed to deal with a steep budget deficit in a statement to ktvu, the district's chief academic officer, says, quote in our district we've been facing declining enrollment for decades . sustaining many small schools stretches our resources thinly across too many schools. instead of allowing us to invest more deeply in fewer schools and quote at parker elementary here,

for example, they've lost about 100 120 students here over the past five years. and now the union representatives here say that they attribute some of the declining enrollment to the ongoing problem of gentrification in this part of oakland and parts of the east bay. but also they say that it's the district's fault that declining enrollment has happened because they said that there's a history of underfunding these public schools. the union leader here, says he believes that once the school closes it will likely become a charter school. but again, this is one of the things that they're opposed to their opposed to these closures of 11 schools over the next five years in the district, and that's why they're launching this one day strike that is underway as you see here. later this afternoon, some of the union members will be meeting up with a longshore union members, and they will be having a rally at oakland city hall live in oakland. ali rasmus ktvu. fox two news. thank you for that, with the first round of the nfl draft now in the books coming up on the nine we're live with 49ers fangirl tracy sandler to talk about who she thinks the niners will draft. and the future of wide

i think the best bridge right now to use. however i don't want to discourage you from using the bay bridge. it is a little bit slow, but it's probably going to get better in the next few minutes here. if you're trying to get between either one. this is a look at interstate 80, and that's looking pretty good. the subject commute is up to a good ending right now. 8 50. let's bring steve in with today's weather, right? sal looks like a nice pattern here today after a windy pattern for a couple of days. if you are going to the giants game tonight, it was very cold as you know, brutally cold tuesday and wednesday in the bay bridge series, but it'll be on the cool side, but it won't be as windy as it was should be better than it was as well as the nationals and the giants. few high clouds coming in not a big deal, but farther north, maybe a few more. but for your friday forecast looks good. these are about where we should be on the high side. except for some higher clouds in the north, and the breeze will pick up a little bit later. but nothing we can't handle forties fifties on your test. although brentwood says, come catch me if you can. i'm 59 out there so there will

be some probably pushing the upper seventies. most will be in the low to mid seventies. you can see some of those higher clouds. taking a mainly north of the golden gate, but there'll be a few drifting across. so if you look at and say, where are those clouds coming from now you know how i will protect us. although these systems for this time of year end of april, going into many of their rather rather strong taking aim at the pacific northwest. what they do is they go into washington, oregon, then dive in towards eastern nevada. so while we get a one day of warm up the next day, it cools down. the breeze picks up then it's tables calms down, then we repeat the process all over again, and that's the way it looks going into probably the 1st 57, maybe 10 to 14 days of may, a couple of systems flirting with us on the forecast models around the fifth and the ninth and 10th. so maybe we can still get some may reign in here. but not this weekend. 50 60 seventies on your temps little warmer on sunday little cooler monday, tuesday does look a little warmer. some upper seventies to maybe near 80 you guys steve. thank you coming up on the nine, the world's largest bounce house and if you others are up in the north bay right
