scheduled to be dropped by state farm this summer in the bay area , there's an increased risk. >> you pay more for it and i'm happy to pay more for it. but it's like we're not even given an option. >> the illinois based company, california's largest insurer, citing soaring costs, the increasing risk of natural disasters like wildfires and outdated regulations as reasons it won't renew the policies of some 30,000 home statewide. the highest concentration of them listed on this map by zip code. >> what you're seeing is what we were expecting is they're going and non renewing properties that are of the highest risk area. >> insurance broker carl sussman says. those include areas in the hills closest to brush like santa rosa, the oakland hills and this neighborhood in orinda. >> we tried to go with state farm and they said, no, unfortunately we can't cover you. >> among the residents here forced to seek home insurance elsewhere, people are just having a hard time getting home coverage in our area. >> if there are fewer, insurers to choose from, then it gives us, you know, less pricing power

a few streets over, the christiansen say they recently had their policy dropped by triple a. >> their message to lawmakers, it just seems unreasonable for folks in california. >> it feels as though we're kind of keep getting these huge corporations that make the decisions. and like the community has very little decision making. there are a lot of things that the city is doing for fire prevention. of course, there's always more to do, but it feels as though those proactive measures aren't being taken into consideration and reforms are actually currently underway to address that very issue. >> as far as when state farm is planning to notify customers impacted by all of this, that insurance agent you heard from earlier in the story, he says the vast majority of customers impacted have already been notified in orinda, zac sos, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, zach, thank you. time is 404. a new survey is out about american homeowners and renters. it shows about half struggle to pay for housing.

now, according to redfin, the real estate broker, 49.9% of the people in the survey said they have at least some problems making housing payments. the survey also shows some homeowners and renters work more hours, don't go on vacation, and they eat fewer meals. more than 17% of those who responded to the survey also say they borrowed money from family and friends to make their payments. >> a former employee of san francisco ice cream shop humphrey slocum, is now suing the company. now, according to sfgate, the class action lawsuit claims several employees often skipped meals and rushed to deliver ice cream to bay area stores before it melted. workers also say the company failed to pay minimum wage and overtime pay. now. we tried to contact humphrey slocum for comment. we have not heard back. >> time is now for 405. samtrans now has new safety measures along the peninsula to protect its drivers. the union that represents 320 samtrans drivers

say they routinely face verbal and physical attacks. samtrans says last year the number of incidents spiked when there were 14 cases of attacks on bus operators is. >> this mirrors a national trend that's really concerning and so it's our mission to prevent as many of these assaults as we possibly can now see through protective barriers are being installed around the bus driver's compartment to reduce the risk of violence. >> and the board of samtrans approved a new code of conduct and an enforcement policy that says violators will be banned from future use of samtrans lines dealing with bullying, discrimination and intimidation at school will be the focus of a proposed new office of civil rights at the california department of education. >> now, state superintendent tony thurmond joined lawmakers to introduce the proposal. the office of civil rights would investigate complaints and keep track of the frequency of

incidents in public schools. the office would advise the superintendent on its investigations. >> our time is 406. this week's top priority for state lawmakers is making a dent in california's budget deficit. now, the office of the state legislative analyst predicts a $73 billion budget deficit this coming fiscal year. the governor and democratic lawmakers agreed to cover about $17 billion of that through a combination of delayed spending, borrowing, shifting costs and $3.6 billion in spending cuts. now, among the programs that will be cut, welfare, education and climate. >> my message to the governor's office is, you guys got to wake up and you got to take this seriously because californians are going to depend on what we do with this budget, and we can't just have, you know, a week or two to figure it out. we need to start working on this now. >> i was raised to believe that actions speak louder than words, and i appreciate the fact that we're not just saying that we're

concerned about the shortfall, but we're taking meaningful action to address it. >> now, this week, the governor and his family are on spring break, and the legislature is expected to wrap up its hearings by the end of the week. >> president biden laid out a new plan to eliminate student loan debt after an earlier relief effort was blocked by the us supreme court last year. under the new plan, the administration says more than 30 million borrowers could have some or all of their debt forgiven. the new effort focuses on specific groups of borrowers, including those who owe more money than they did at the start of their repayment. for more on who's eligible, ktvu spoke with mark kantrowitz, a nationally recognized higher education expert. >> borrowers who have been in repayment for decades. borrowers whose loan payments are going to be low or zero for a very long time, and ultimately be forgiven. borrowers who, have been negatively amortized so they owe more now than they did when they entered repayment.

things like that. >> now, the white house reports president biden has already canceled $146 billion in student loan debt for 4 million americans. >> time is now 408 senate majority leader chuck schumer indicates the senate will soon debate a proposed ban on tiktok. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell, who supports that proposed ban, called tiktok an enormous threat to america's children. the house already passed a measure to force tiktok parent company bytedance to sell off tiktok within six months or face a ban now, supporters of the ban warn the app is collecting data that could be turned over to the chinese government. tiktok says the efforts violate the company's first amendment rights. now, while a possible ban is being debated, tiktok may be planning to release a new app that could be similar to instagram. the company is notifying users of its upcoming photo app. it's called tiktok notes. reports say

the app will share existing and new photo posts from tiktok to the notes app, if users opt in to that feature. the company hasn't announced when tiktok notes will be released. >> the faa is investigating how an engine cover detached from a southwest airlines flight. tmz shared these photos. now the southwest jet turned around just minutes after taking off from denver on its way to houston on sunday in recorded air traffic control audio. one of the pilots said, quote, several passengers and flight attendants heard something loud hit the wing. the boeing 737 landed safely. port of oakland commissioners are now scheduled to meet thursday to discuss renaming the oakland international airport. >> now, officials in the east bay liked the idea of rebrand the airport as san francisco bay. oakland international airport. but san francisco city leaders hate the idea. san francisco city attorney fired off a letter threatening legal

action. he says the proposed name change would lead to confusion for visitors. >> from our perspective, the proposal appears intentionally designed to divert travelers who may be unfamiliar with bay area geography. >> now, oakland airport officials say a recent poll shows residents are comfortable with a name change and they support the efforts to increase the number of flights and travel destinations. now, in a statement, the port of oakland, which oversees the airport, said, quote, the proposed name modification will clarify, not confuse the new name. it identifies where oakland is actually located. okay, that is which is on san francisco bay. now, if the proposed name modification is approved by the board, the port will take all appropriate measures to defend its rights. to use this accurate geographic identifier for. >> okay, that's quite a conversation. i know that will

continue. all right. for now, let's go to steve paulson where he's starting with our forecast locally. >> here it is clear. and we're going to start with that because there's no fog or nothing out there to find except clear skies. if i put in the air flow at 5000ft, it is slightly north northeast. so with that in mind, it's a nice base map right there. we will see temperatures continuing to bump up here. i think tomorrow will be the warmest day, so maybe 82 or so. still pretty nice on thursday before temps start to drop on friday, but napa danville, menlo park, san jose up we go from 7275 yesterday to 76 and 77 today. tomorrow, probably some near 80 on some of those temps 40s, 50s, no 30s yet. i kept some in there just in case somebody decides to sneak in with one. it might be close for a few, but even san anselmo and sonoma are at 4344 rohnert park. so a little bit warmer here than we saw yesterday morning. 50 in arcadia, 54, in los angeles, santa barbara and monterey in the 40s and 20s. up in the mountains. we're good to go

until probably late friday, more likely saturday, when it does look like a system will drop in per usual. we've seen this going all the way back to december, and it looks like some pretty good rain will take us into sunday, but not for the next three days. clear and cool morning, sunny and warmer and mid 70s. maybe a few pushing 77 or 78. so 60s and 70s today. >> thank you steve. trying to revive downtowns across the state after the pandemic. we're going to hear from california mayors about their concerns and disparities in santa clara county. >> we'll tell you about a new study putting a spotlight on the challenges acing minority owned businesses

and if government contracts are awarded to minority owned

businesses. that study was commissioned by santa clara county ktvu lamonica. >> peters spoke with people who hope the findings will bring changes for bay area businesses. >> walter wilson is co-founder of the minority business consortium for silicon valley and says the lack of business opportunity with the county for african american business owners shows stark disparities. >> black contracting in this county is dismal, and black people are leaving this county in large numbers, primarily because they don't feel home. they don't feel like this is a place where they belong. belonging is important these days. and guess what? in the last five years, some 13,000 people left this county, 10,000 of them were african african ancestry people. santa clara county's recently released disparity study shows the county spent more than $2.4 billion on contract arts between july 2016 and june 2021, 15% of those funds went to minority owned businesses, including non-minority women with less than 1% going to african

american, hispanic and native american business owners. >> there are many, many latinos that are very much part of the workforce, but they're not part of the ownership. and we know that in terms of wealth creation for this generation and the generations to come, you need both and clearly there's been some exclusion on that side. >> both wilson and king say now that county leaders have data to back up their claims of business discrimination and exclusion, it's time for santa clara county to make some drastic changes. >> i think we have the right people at the board of supervisors right now who are willing to say, take a look at this and say, this has to be fixed and the fact that they asked for the disparity study says that they knew something was wrong. >> we reached out to susan ellenberg, president of the santa clara county board of supervisors, and she was unavailable for comment. lamonica peters ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. lamonica. mountain

view is set to drop its ban on gas appliances for new construction. city leaders have proposed rolling back environmentally friendly building requirements that had mandated builders use other energy sources for appliances in new homes and commercial developments. now, that would put the city in accordance with federal law. the city council is expected to vote on the measure at its meeting today. >> our time now for 17 state lawmakers are debating an amendment to california's constitution to guarantee the right to clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. meet the author of the measure. southern california assemblyman isaac bryant says low income black and brown communities are disproportionately affected by poor environmental management, and that this measure would give the state a foundation for its environmental efforts. the proposal comes as california is trying to phase out its use of oil and gas within the next 20 years. >> in california, we beat our chest as climate champions. as leaders, we do it nationally. we

do it globally, but we are behind other states. our people do not have a fundamental right to clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. but we can change that and we're going to change that. >> now, critics of the proposal include the california chamber of commerce, which considers this a job killer. the chamber said in part the amendment would have far reaching negative consequences that would impair government operations, stunt development for new housing, infrastructure and clean energy project development, and has strong potential to destabilize california's economy, generating clean energy is headed for space. >> scientists are examining the idea of installing solar panels in space to combat climate change. here on earth. some greenhouse gas emission levels skyrocketed to historic highs last year, but calls to move from fossil fuels to solar and wind power face opposition here

on earth. so researchers at the oregon startup company space solar are considering out of this world solutions. this is about very large satellites high above the earth harvesting the abundant solar energy, converting that to microwaves and beaming it to earth. >> and in this way, we can we can get gigawatt scale, continuous power day and night, and through all seasons and weather, because solar panels in space would continually soak up the energy from the sun, researchers theorize they could generate 13 times the amount of energy compared to panels on earth. >> it's very interesting. >> i didn't know that. okay. >> very nice. all right. let's check in with steve paulson. another, plenty of solar, rays today, i guess. going to be done. no. >> need any help today, that's for sure, from space. so we'll have temperatures that will be bumping up here near average. most locations, you know, we've been below for so long. we get a quick little pop and then it's right back down. but this today

into probably thursday temps will warm up. and i think tomorrow will be the warmest day we'll get some near 80 degrees tomorrow. 40s and 50s on the temps here. the breeze is tailed off for many, but i could get a couple of upper 30s. but i think we're about on borrowed time for the 30s. look at pittsburgh and brentwood 50s there. kensington el cerrito is in there. alameda as well. so mainly on the 40s here. higher elevations. mount veeder 50 northeast oakland hills, though, has a little puff of a westerly breeze. boulder creek, though still says 38. i'll have to double check that, but little northerly wind 27. truckee 26. south lake tahoe 37. 38 prescott in flagstaff and 46 down in monterey. everything goes up and over for now, and we'll stay that way until probably increasing clouds on friday. and it sure looks like rain sweeps through on saturday, with some lingering into sunday and a little bit of high elevation snow. so we're not done yet, but we're getting closer to it. why don't you get to around? april 15th would start to wane unless it's a, you know, full blown rain year. and this has been a pretty good one.

i don't think we're done, but we're starting to see some spacing between these systems. severe clear, clear and cool in the morning. sunny and warmer. >> 60s 71 i think even if you're not, a huge fan of either of the teams who make it to the championship, it's still fun to watch. and you know, see who's going to win. >> you know, there were no bay area teams in the ncaa championship, but bay area sports fans flocked to watch parties. we'll hear from them about the excitement of watching the final game and helping treat anxiety disorders. >> we're going to take a look at a new study that says lsd could be the help patients have een looking for

she got that dress with the extra money she saved using our brand new grocery outlet app. it's been really fun seeing what everyone's doing with the extra money they save. nice shirt. just got back from vacation. a butler? super nice guy. i got to start using the app.

anxiety. now, recent studies show the hallucinogen has the potential to help people with a series of mental conditions. the

new partial approval as a breakthrough therapy from the fda comes after a recent clinical trial showed patients anxiety improving anxiety is the most common mental health condition in the us. coming up at 520, we're going to talk with doctor mike of our fox medical team about this clinical trial and why it's different than what we normally think of when it comes to lsd. >> our time now for 24 california attorney general rob bonta traveled to the mexican border to put attention on the fentanyl drug crisis and also to thank law enforcement fighting to keep drugs out of the u.s, making sure that many pounds and many pills never make it across the border to california. >> also focusing on all of the arms of the of the network and tracking down the entire operation to hold folks accountable, not just stopping at the point of arrest. >> now, the attorney general says, as of march of this year, almost 12 million fentanyl pills

and 3,400 pounds of fentanyl powder have been seized by the california department of justice. the doj also arrested 280 people on fentanyl related charges. >> as the lgbtq community is criticizing the vatican for its new doctrine against surrogacy and gender affirming surgery, surgery. now, gay rights advocates accuse the catholic church of failing to offer dignity to transgender and non-binary people. the church calls surrogacy and gender affirming surgery, quote, grave threats, and compares the procedures to abortion and euthanasia that go against god's plan for human life. >> this is not a new position for the vatican. pope francis himself has said this before on several occasions. he has a real problem with what he calls gender ideology. and so this document now puts that on paper. >> a separate document released last november said transgender people could be baptized and

serve as godparents. >> our time now for 26 firefighters in el sobrante helped to rescue a horse that became stuck in the mud on a very steep slope. that tough terrain made it very difficult for the crews to get to the horse. after four hours, firefighters were finally able to remove all of the mud and the branches and get the horse named magic ben, to safe ground and reunite it with its owners. >> a heartwarming reunion in the east bay. we're going to take a closer look, as members of the coast guard are now home with their families. after a long mission at sea and a new bill may create competition when it comes to buying tickets to tell you about the new effort to reduce prices for concerts and sports events

will struggle if our downtowns are struggling. >> downtowns across california continue to struggle to recover from the pandemic. we hear from mayors about their concerns to bring their downtowns back to life. and a phenomenon watched by millions. we're going to show you more of that total solar eclipse that had people from coast to coast looking up at the sky from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. good morning. >> thank you for waking up with us here on mornings on two. i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> it's tuesday morning. it's april 9th. you had a good time watching the sky. >> it was pretty fun. and you looked as well. you got glasses? >> i got the glasses. >> got the glasses. all right. very fun, steve paulson, as promised, it was a very nice, clear day here. good for us. see it? yes

>> good for us. no doubt. it would be even better today because we have. we had a teeny bit of fog yesterday. there's. i can't find anything today. and temps will continue to bump up here. they were about in line yesterday, so i'm not going too crazy here. but we're starting off with 40s on the temps 50s if you're closer maybe to the bay or the coast. but we're all good to go for sunshine. and here comes the sun today. that's for sure. we are looking for temperatures continuing to bump up a little bit. tomorrow looks to be the warmest day, but today won't be bad. with 60s and inland it'll be 70s on those temps. all right. sal is here. what do we know so far? >> well, it's a nice commute so far, steve, so far we do see some things that are getting a little slower, but so far, so good. if you are driving on the commute here, it looks okay now. yesterday it was a little bit of a tough commute to predict. it was, light. and then it got busy. then it got light again. so we'll see what happens today. there have been no major problems as you drive across bay area bridges. or if you're on highway four, looks pretty good

heading west. so far for 31. let's get back to the headlines. okay sal. >> thank you. well, state lawmakers are concerned that downtown areas in cities all over the state are recovering too slow from the pandemic. a state committee on downtown recovery met for the first time yesterday. ktvu jana katsuyama tells us about the ideas that are being debated downtown san francisco has become a different city from its pre-pandemic self. >> it's very empty. >> i was at bloomingdale's. nothing was going on. >> the challenge of how to change and improve downtowns such as san francisco is the focus of a new state assembly downtown recovery select committee. the first meeting was held in sacramento monday, chaired by assemblyman matt haney of san francisco. >> they develop policies that can truly support the recovery of our downtowns. >> the committee's goal is to create a statewide downtown recovery plan. four mayors testified monday from long beach, riverside, sacramento and san francisco. mayor london

breed gave some sobering data. office attendance is at 40% 46% of pre-pandemic levels as of march. >> we can no longer rely on five days a week and 9 to 5 employment, she said. >> remote work has impacted foot traffic, a ripple effect hurting small businesses and restaurants. >> remote work has led to a storic office vacancy rate of over 36% in our downtown. >> the mayor also talked about how state lawmakers can help by supporting efforts to streamline the transition of downtown office space into housing. >> my 30 by 30 plan is to bring 30,000 residents to the downtown neighborhood by 2030. >> the mayor also testified about the goals of creating a 24 over seven atmosphere in downtowns by bringing more entertainment venues and academic institutions. >> i'm doing my mba here in hult international business school. yeah, so this is why i'm here. and i love the financial

district. >> generally, san francisco is great. i moved here because the spirit, the energy still some people say their concerns about crime persist. >> usually i'm not outside at 7 p.m. alone. so i think like the government should do something. >> the downtown recovery committee plans to focus on future topics of crime, homelessness, the fentanyl crisis and tourism. the next meeting is scheduled for the second week of may in sacramento in the newsroom jana katsuyama, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right jana, thank you times for 33. and right now there are at least three bills being debated in the state legislature focused on downtown recovery. one would create a rehabilitate zone for ten years in downtown san francisco. that bill would speed up approvals for academic campuses, student housing and sports and entertainment venues. another would allow the cities to set up incentive programs for projects that convert office buildings into housing, and a third bill

would help finance those kinds of conversions by allowing cities to redirect tax revenue. >> a san francisco sheriff's deputy is charged with multiple felonies, including domestic violence. prosecutors say 40 year-old deputy sheriff jonathan espiritu choked a woman he had been dating when she tried to end the relationship in august. he's accused of attacking her again in december at her workplace, the victim reported the abuse last week after she found a tracking device on her vehicle. el espiritu pled not guilty to two counts of domestic violence, as well as assault, false imprisonment, stalking and other charges. he is being held without bail pending trial, district attorney brooke jenkins said in a statement. i would like to thank the survivor in this case for coming forward and reporting these crimes to law enforcement. my office will now do everything we can to ensure that there is accountability and that justice is served. >> our time is now. 435 a man was arrested after a standoff

with san francisco police that lasted more than seven hours. now, the police used flash bangs inside that building to help get the suspect out of there. police say first reports came in about 630 yesterday morning about a man breaking into an apartment building on gonzales drive near 19th avenue in san francisco state university police also say they believe the man was experiencing a mental health emergency. a neighbor who didn't want to be identified on camera told us she got up yesterday morning to the sounds of the man banging on her door. >> this morning i was in my house with my partner and her child and there was banging on the wall for our neighbor that we've been having issues with, then he yelled some things out the window, and then he came around to our front door, started banging on our front door and trying to kick it in, and ended up stabbing our door

of may has just been that way, going all the way back to december. but today and tomorrow all about sunshine. slight offshore breeze. it's not as strong as yesterday, but there's still a slight component to it. so napa, danville, menlo park, san jose, up we go. 77, 77, 76 and 77 on steve's forecast highs 40s on the temps are low. low 50s on the temps here. and we had a little bit more of a breeze out to the valley yesterday. one observation in boulder creek is 38. rest are all in the 40s, although hollister's down to 41 degrees and felton is in there. so there are some cool readings. higher elevations anywhere from 40 to 50. not 39. now boulder creek, 54 oakland hills and 57 mount veeder. so no warmth yet in the santa cruz mountains. but mount veeder is definitely warmer than yesterday. 20s in the mountains, 50 at arcata and also redding. by the way, if you haven't heard, shasta is full, so no good news still happens in weather. 49 santa barbara to 51 in san diego. up and over she goes. high pressure is our fair

weather friend today. and also tomorrow and probably thursday i would think. although you get 80 inland and fog is not far away. we've seen that twice already. this, this this early season where a couple of days in the 70s and next thing you know, the fall goes back. but today nice. and the temperatures though will be near average to a little above next couple of days. but by the time we get to friday a low approaches and it looks like it will sweep in for rain on saturday. probably some pretty big changes i would think on friday with increasing low clouds and also some higher clouds. there you go. saturday at 5 a.m. it starts and then most of saturday does look like a rain day. and some of that will linger into sunday morning clear and cool this morning, but mainly 40s for lows. sunny and warmer. mid 70s inland temperatures bumping up and i think tomorrow will probably eke out a couple of 80s here, but it does look nice taking us into not only today, tomorrow, probably thursday as well. and i think there's well, i'm repeating the things here because i'm trying to do too much there. it is warmer temps will take us into tomorrow. >> well, there was a fire at a business in hayward coming up. what we are learning so far

getting hot at just the right time. they're 24 and 11 record since january 30th is second only to boston over that span. >> we're definitely a better team. better better. two way basketball. better. i think, connection. better chemistry, there's a much better vibe with this team, so i still believe firmly that we can do something special that's to be determined. >> we got to obviously advance past the west semis, but i think we're playing the best brand of basketball we played all season. >> jason appelbaum, ktvu, fox two sports. >> lafayette unveiled a new mural and name for a downtown intersection to honor its indigenous history. now, the mural and street sign were unveiled at mount diablo boulevard and lafayette circle. the illustration shows a group of saxon women who were part of the miwok tribe that lived in the lafayette area. the street renaming as part of the city's yearlong effort to honor its indigenous history. well, this

reasons that it won't renew policies of almost 30,000 homes here in california, state farm is not renewing policies in areas that are in the hills closest to brush, like santa rosa, the oakland hills and orinda. the homeowners are now left to find another home insurance policy. >> just having a hard time getting home coverage in our area. if there are fewer, insurers to choose from, then it gives us, you know, less pricing power. >> the vast majority of state farm customers have already been notified about whether their home insurance policy will be renewed. >> our time now. 502. a new surveys out about american homeowners and renters. it shows about half struggle to pay for housing, according to redfin, the real estate broker. 49.9% of the people in the survey said they have at least some problems making their house payments. the survey also shows some homeowners and renters work more hours, don't go on vacation, and they eat fewer meals. more than

predicts a $73 billion budget deficit this coming fiscal year. the governor and democratic lawmakers agreed to cover about 17 billion of that through a combination of delayed spending, borrowing, shifting costs and $3.6 billion in spending cuts. among the programs that will be cut, welfare, education and climate. >> my message to the governor's office is, you guys got to wake up and you got to take this seriously because californians are going to depend on what we do with this budget. and we can't just have, you know, a week or two to figure it out. we need to start working on this now. i was raised to believe that actions speak louder than words, and i appreciate the fact that we're not just saying that we're concerned about the shortfall, but we're taking meaningful action to address it. >> we're here now. this week, the governor and his family are on spring break. the state legislature is expected to wrap up its hearings by the end of this week. >> president biden laid out a new plan to eliminate student

of oakland commissioners are now scheduled to meet thursday to discuss renaming the oakland international airport. >> it's a big deal. east bay officials like the idea of rebranding the airport as san francisco bay oakland international airport, but san fro city leaders hate the idea. san francisco city attorney fired off a letter threatening legal action. he says the proposed name change would lead to confusion for visitors. >> from our perspective, the proposal appears intentionally designed to divert travelers who may be unfamiliar with bay area geography, he now oakland airport officials say. >> a recent poll shows residents are comfortable with a name change and support efforts to increase the number of flights and travel destinations. in a statement, the port of oakland, which oversees oakland airport, said, quote, the proposed name modification will clarify, not confuse the new name identifies where okay is actually located,

which is on the san francisco bay. if the proposed name modification is approved by the board, the port will take all appropriate measures to defend its rights to use this accurate geographic identifier. >> that is a very big debate that i hear in the grocery store and the dog park. yeah, boy, people want to. >> oh people don't like it. yes yes. all right steve paulson has our forecast. sounds like warmer than yesterday right. >> that is correct. no doubt about it. and tomorrow even more so here as we get. and there was a little bit more of an offshore breeze yesterday. it's still kind of in place but it's a little more variable. so sunny and warmer, temperatures will be bumping up some mid 70s. warmest day looks to be tomorrow. and then friday changes. and it sure looks like rain on saturday. and continuing into sunday. but yesterday we had some nice temps right in line with forecast projections here. santa rosa 76 napa. concord kentfield redwood city, san jose, livermore and vallejo all between 71 and 76.

beautiful degrees. so light offshore components slight, slight slight. i believe this is at 850 millibars which is 5000ft. and i'm using the european model because it's usually the superior model. and with that in place and the high parking over us again, though, we can't seem to go more than seven days of dry weather because it does look like rain returns this weekend. but today and tomorrow. nice forecast and it will be warmer as well. temperatures from napa, danville , menlo park and san jose. up we go. 77, 77, 76 and 77 on my forecast. highs 40s on the temps. although half moon bay is down to 41. so there are a few cool ones, but mainly upper 40s low 50s. everyone's pretty close here. isothermal is what we call it, even 40s in mendocino county, i think middletown is 39, but 40s and 50s for some. sonoma and san anselmo down to 42 point. ray's at 43. so a little cool for some 20s in the mountains. arcata 5050 in fresno, 50 in bakersfield,

california 49. phoenix, which is cooler than los angeles and san diego. that's because the upper low is just exiting there. you can see it right over them yesterday. but for us, the rain will return. it looks like on saturday another low is going to move in and settle in for a cloudy, cooler conditions. looks like rain saturday. how much? we'll take a look here so far. looks okay, not just a passing system, but it will start to move in on saturday, probably with us most of the day saturday and linger into sunday as well, i'm a little concerned. i think next week a lot of people are saying sunny and warmer. i'm not sure i buy that, but a clear and cool out of the forecast models are digging another system in from the north, so we'll see here. i think it's an active pattern for the rest of april 60th 70 on the temps. and if you like sunny and warmer weather, next couple of days are for you. changes on the way into the week okay steve. >> thank you. time's 512 trying to revive downtowns across the state after the pandemic. we'll let you hear from california mayors about their big concerns and disparities in santa clara

county. a new study putting a spotlight on the c llenges cing min it

if you feel like things don't add up right now... you're not alone. rent is up, and every family outing costs an arm and a leg.

well, we want to help. so when prices go up, we find new ways to go low. and now, we've lowered the price on hundreds of your favorite products. designing something beautiful is easy. designing something beautiful with great quality for a low price? that's a different story. it's why we're here. that's a promise. not a promo. just a small portion of government contracts in santa clara county are awarded to minority owned businesses. santa clara county's recently released vendor disparity study shows the

county spent more than $2.4 billion on contracts between july of 2016 and june of 2022, but only 15% of it went to minority owned businesses, and less than 1% went to african american, hispanic and native american business owners. >> i think we have the right people at the board of supervisors, right now who are willing to say, take a look at this and say, this has to be fixed. and the fact that they asked for the disparity study says that they knew something was wrong. >> and now the report recommends that the county start a small business enterprise program giving minority business owners a better chance to bid on public contracts. well, the cupertino city council extended the development timeline for two hotels by three more years. the de anza hotel and cupertino village boutique hotel have been in the planning stages at least

four years. the developers asked for those extensions. they cited rising building costs and a slow recovery from the pandemic. it's estimated those two hotels would generate more than $2 million a year for the city through hotel occupancy, as well as property taxes as well. state lawmakers are debating an amendment to california's constitution to guarantee the right to clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. the author of the measure, southern california assembly member isaac brian, says low income black and brown communities are disproportionately affected by poor environmental management. and this measure, he says, would give the state a foundation for its environmental efforts. the proposal comes as california is trying to phase out its use of oil and gas within the next 20 years, as in california, we beat our chest as climate champions, as leaders, we do it nationally.

>> we do it globally, but we are behind other states. our people do not have a fundamental right to clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. but we can change that and we're going to change that now. >> critics of the proposal include the california chamber of commerce, which considers this a job killer. the chamber said in a statement the amendment would have far reaching negative consequences that would impair government operations, stunt development for new housing, infrastructure and clean energy, project development and has strong potential to destabilize california's economy. it is 517 generation of clean energy is headed to space. scientists are studying the idea of installing solar panels in space to combat climate change here on earth. some greenhouse gas emission levels skyrocketed to historic highs last year, but the calls to move from fossil fuels to

solar and wind wind power face opposition here on earth. so researchers at the oregon start up company space solar are considering some out of this world solutions as. >> i don't know, dave. yeah well, i don't know. >> you know, you're not buying it today. >> well, i don't know. i don't know. seems like a big cost doesn't it? >> it does. it's far reaching, far reaching. >> that's true. all right. thank you sir. all right. 70s on the temps yesterday. low to mid and temperatures will be bumping up a little bit today. how much? about 76, 77. everybody in line there. napa danville. menlo park in san jose. all in their 40s on the temps. low 40s, half moon bay, but 40s, mainly mid 40s mountain views. 45 walnut creek, livermore, 46 napa airport, petaluma, san rafael, santa rosa, kelseyville all in there. kensington's 49 pinole has dropped to 44 along with lafayette, alamo, danville and north dublin. castro valley says

don't forget about us. i never would castro valley and 50s out to pittsburgh, brentwood and also for alameda and el cerrito is in there. they get a slight east breeze coming off the hills. it makes a big difference there along the 80 corridor, truckies in the 20s. south lake tahoe is in the 20s. prescott 38, flagstaff 37 and phoenix. i don't use sky harbor because it's a it's definitely influenced by too much asphalt, cement and jet fuel. 49 versus san diego and la, which are in the 50s. how about that? don't see that all the time. that's because the upper low was right over them yesterday. it's now moving into new mexico. we get high pressure, but rain looks like it's on the way for saturday. sure looks like it. everything's coming in here. so cloudy. cooler rain returns saturday and probably lingering into sunday. you don't have to worry about anything today, tomorrow or thursday except for warmer temps, but i'll tell you this pattern going back to december, we have not had a stretch of longer than seven dry days, which is amazing to be honest with you. and then it sweeps through on saturday into sunday. but today and tomorrow severe clear looks good. sunny

side up and temperatures will be bumping up 60s and 70s. can you, can you give me an 80 tomorrow? steve well, remember. yes, i'll try, but it does look like wednesday, maybe thursday then. big changes friday into the weekend. dave i think even if you're not, a huge fan of either of the teams who make it to the championship, it's still fun to watch and, you know, see who's going to win. >> yeah, there were no bay area teams in the ncaa championship, but bay area sports fans flocked to watch parties, and we're going to hear from them about the excitement of watching the final game and some new ways to treat anxiety disorders. we're going to look at a new study that says, yes, lsd could be the help that

bipolar 1, i got help to push back. i got help to push back. we got help to push back with lybalvi. once-daily prescription lybalvi is proven to treat manic or mixed episodes of bipolar 1 in adults to help you push back. elderly patients with dementia have increased risk of death or stroke. do not take lybalvi if you are taking opioids or are in opioid withdrawal. the samidorphan in lybalvi can cause severe opioid withdrawal that can lead to hospitalization or increase risk of life- threatening overdose. get emergency help if you have trouble breathing, become very drowsy with slowed or shallow breathing, feel faint, very dizzy, or confused, or have a fever, stiff muscles, rash, swollen glands, or problems with your liver, kidneys, heart, or lungs.

as a dangerous illegal drug that's without any legitimate medical uses. but recent studies show the hallucinate has the potential to help some people with serious mental health conditions. the fda recently designated a form of lsd as a breakthrough therapy to treat generalized anxiety disorder. now for more on this, we are joined by fox medical teams doctor mike. good morning, doctor mike. first of all, what does it mean to get that fda approval as a breakthrough therapy? >> well, basically what that means, pam, is that there is ample evidence that it actually

works. and before we go any further, this is not street lsd. this is lsd that has been pharmacy optically manufactured, high grade, purified material done in a lab. the study is done in a controlled setting and the bottom line is, is that it has been found to have dramatic improvement in people with generalized anxiety disorder, and they found that this was standalone in most people with generalized anxiety disorder will undertake psychotherapy, cognitive therapy, other types of medications. bottom line is this look, when it comes to it, i think we're going to find many of these medications may be of benefit when used in a controlled setting. and lsd has gotten kind of a bad rap since

the 60s. and it got the attention of president nixon. and it just goes on and on and on and on. but i think there's some reasonable, interesting data here. >> i'm glad you mentioned that in a controlled environment. so people don't try to self-medicate or self prescribe for something like this, but tell us briefly how this controlled lab lsd works as a therapy for mental health. >> well, it's thought, and i don't think anyone really knows yet that when you, administer lsd, it's almost like rebooting the brain. and it allows patients to assess and realign some of their anxiety issues. and again, i wish i was an expert in it, but i'm not when it comes down to it, the bottom line is, is that we need a lot more data on this. they're even looking at psilocybin mushrooms.

they're looking i mean look at marijuana that there are a lot of potential benefits and potential risks. and that's why we must do due diligence to study these properties. you can't just label something bad and evil. and it's going to bring down the country. you need to study it in a controlled setting. and as long as that's done, i'm okay with it. i have a phrase in god, we trust and everyone else show me the data. >> bottom line. yes. all right. and more data is coming out for sure on this doctor. mike, thank you so much. very interesting. as so many people deal with mental health issues, particularly anxiety. so thank you for that. >> thank you pam. thanks for having me. >> all right. time now 527. it was a heartwarming reunion in the east bay. we're going to take a closer look. as members

debate will continue. right now we want to check in with sal. where are you starting for the commute? >> well, i'm going to give a little plug to oakland airport. it's a really convenient airport. >> it is i love the oakland airport. and you know what i think steve has said it before. the tsa folks over there, they watch us. >> yeah they do. >> they all watch us. they always say hi. well good. >> hello tsa people. >> yeah. >> good morning everyone. let's go to the bay bridge. i want to show you from our air traffic camera that we have the bay bridge toll plaza is beginning to fill up. so unlike yesterday, where we didn't have a backup like this so early today, it's just a little different as you drive through. this is a look at interstate 880. it is doing very well and no problems on the san mateo bridge. we're still waiting to see how the commute here in the south bay will come together. but right now, so far, it looks good. driving over to that west valley at 608. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. sal. demands for change after a new study shows minority business

are awarded to minority owned businesses. santa clara county recently released a vendor disparity study. it shows the county spent more than $2.4 billion on contracts between july of 2016 and june of 2022, only 15% of it went to minority owned businesses, and less than 1% went to african american, hispanic and native american business owners. >> i think we have the right people at the board of supervisors right now who are willing to say, take a look at this and say this has to be fixed. and the fact that they asked for it, the disparity study says that they knew something was wrong. >> that report recommends the county start a small business enterprise program to give minority business owners a better chance to bid on public contracts dealing with bullying, discrimination and intimidation at school will be the focus of a proposed new office of civil rights at the california

department of education. >> now state superintendent tony thurmond joined lawmakers to introduce the proposal. the office of civil rights would investigate complaints and keep track of the frequency of incidents in public schools. the office would advise the superintendent on its investigation. us president biden laid out a new plan to eliminate student loan debt after an earlier relief effort was blocked by the us supreme court last year. under the new plan, the administration says more than 30 million borrowers could have some or all of their debt forgiven. the new effort focuses on specific groups of borrowers, including those who owe more money than they did at the start of their repayment. for more on who is eligible, ktvu spoke with mark kantrowitz, a nationally recognized higher education expert. >> borrowers who have been in repayment for decades, borrowers whose loan payments are going to be low or zero for a very long time and ultimately be forgiven. borrowers who do, have been

negatively amortized, so they owe more now than they did when they entered repayment. things like that. >> the white house reports president biden has already canceled $146 billion in student loan debt for 4 million americans. >> time now 613. state lawmakers are debating an amendment to california's constitution to guarantee the right to clean air. clean water and a healthy environment. the author of that measure, southern california assembly member isaac brian, says low income black and brown communities are disproportionately affected by poor environmental management, and this measure would give the state a foundation for its environmental efforts. the proposal comes as california is trying to phase out its use of oil and gas within the next 20 years. >> in california, we beat our chest as climate champions. as leaders, we do it nationally. we

do it globally, but we are behind other states. our people do not have a fundamental right to clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. but we can change that. and we're now. >> critics of the proposal include the california chamber of commerce, which considers this a job killer. the chamber said in a statement the amendment would have far reaching negative consequences that would impair government operations, stunt development for new housing, infrastructure and clean energy product development, and has strong potential to destabilize california's economy. >> first time home buyers in alameda county have a few weeks left to apply for the down payment assistance program. ac boost provides loans of up to $210,000 to help people with down payments for people who live or work in the county, there are no monthly payments or interest as part of the loan program. the new owner would repay the loan if they sell the

home. applicants must make less than 120% of the area's median income, which is just about $124,000 a year for an individual, or $177,000 for a family of four people, can apply through mid-may. applicants will be selected through a lottery system. >> all right. our time is 615 in monterey county. caltrans taking the first big steps now towards repairing that crumbling stretch of highway one that was damaged by recent rains. the prep work to install anchors to stabilize the cliff there started yesterday. the actual job starts today. a 40 mile stretch of the highway has been closed since the end of last month, when a landslide took out part of that road. daily convoys are taking people in and out of that closure area two times a day. caltrans says it's they're not sure how long the repairs will take. >> 616 is the time. back over to sal. what are you keeping an eye

on, sal? >> well, all kinds of things. and we're looking at the east bay here, and you can see traffic at the macarthur maze. looks good via our triple a traffic camera coming around the corner. and this morning, unlike yesterday, this morning, we do have a bigger backup here at about six. well, it's exactly 616 right now and it is backed up beyond the parking lot now. almost not quite to the maze. if you're driving on interstate 880, it looks good. we also have some slowing on highway four as you drive west toward concord out of pittsburgh. san mateo bridge looks very good, and you can see that the south bay, that traffic is moving along very well. getting over to the west valley. so you might want to get on that commute before it fills up. 617 spring steve back in, slowing on highway four. >> that never happens i know right? i know right. all right. thank you sir. sunny and warmer. you know those two there in town

today and especially tomorrow. tomorrow looks to be the warmest day with some 80s inland. probably around 8182. hollister san martin, gilroy, east san jose, san jose, livermore, concord, probably up towards cloverdale, cal yoga. that'll be for tomorrow. but rain returns on saturday. these are the highs yesterday. if you thought it was nice, it was santa rosa, napa, concord, kentfield, redwood city , san jose, livermore and vallejo all between 71 and 76 nice degrees. still a slight easterly or northerly component, not as pronounced as yesterday, but it's there and we are under clear skies. ridge of high pressures. our fair weather friend. so today, tomorrow, probably most of thursday look good, at least inland. a little concerned fog will creep back on thursday, but we'll deal with that as we get closer to it. napa, danville, menlo park, san jose up we go. 77, 77, 76 and 77 on those forecast highs after low and mid 70s yesterday. a lot of 40s, a couple of 30s but mainly 40s on the temps 39.

upper lake but 41 san anselmo sonoma close at 42 rohnert park at 43 but mainly mid 40s, upper 40s to low 50s, even mid 20s. up in the mountains 49 arcadia to 46. in sacramento and mid 40s monterey and santa barbara. a little cool there. everything goes up and over for a couple of days, that's for sure. but now looks like another low. we can't go seven days without getting some rain. that's been the trend all the way back to december, and this looks like a repeat performance as we get to saturday. so i would expect some rain on saturday. i know you have plans, but i would have a plan b ready to go unless something really changes. it may slow down, but we'll deal with it as you get closer to it. but most forecast models bring in some pretty good rain on saturday and lingering into sunday morning. not today or tomorrow though. severe, clear, sunny and warmer weather takes over 60s 70s on the temps. if you want a little warmer. i don't think you do pam, but others do. tomorrow is your day okay? >> i don't, but thank you. >> and it's going to mean a healthy life, a healthier life

not endorse a national ban on abortion, saying instead, it is an issue that should be left to the states. >> whatever they decide must be the law of the land. in this case, the law of the state. >> critics say trump is just trying to win votes with his comments. the president of susan b anthony pro-life america wrote , we are deeply disappointed in trump's position. unborn children and their mothers deserve national protections. the lgbtq community is criticized the vatican for its new doctrine against surrogacy and gender affirming surgery. now, gay rights advocates accuse the catholic church of failing to offer dignity to transgender and non-binary people. the church called surrogacy and gender affirming surgery, quote, grave threats, and compares the procedures to abortion and euthanasia that go against god's plan for human life. >> this is not a new position for the vatican. pope francis

himself has said this before. on several occasions, he has a real problem with what he calls gender ideology. and so this document now puts that on paper. >> a separate document released last november said transgender people could be baptized, serve as official witnesses to church weddings and be selected as godparents sent. majority leader chuck schumer indicates the senate will soon debate a proposed ban on tiktok. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell, who supports the proposed ban, called tiktok an enormous threat to america's children. the house already passed a measure to force tiktok's parent company, bytedance, to sell off tiktok within six months or face a ban. tiktok says the efforts violate the company's first amendment rights. affordable housing is replacing the idea of a full fledged entertainment district in san jose. the mercury news reports a los angeles based developer plans to construct eight buildings, each of which

seven stories high. there's a look at it. they would be located near the top golf center at highway two, 47 and north first street. the project calls for about 780 homes with a few retail shops. original plans featured hotels and restaurants, along with top golf, but plans never materialized and the site eventually ended up in foreclosure. generating clean energy is headed for space. scientists are examining the idea of installing solar panels in space to combat climate change. here on earth. now, some greenhouse gas emission levels, sky rocketed to historic highs last year, but calls to move from fossil fuels to solar and wind power face opposition on earth. >> this is about very large satellites high above the earth, harvesting the abundant solar energy, converting that to microwaves and beaming it to earth. and in this way, we can we can get gigawatt scale, continuous power day and night through all seasons and weather.

>> because solar panels in space would continually soak up energy from the sun, researchers theorize they could generate 13 times the amount of energy compared to panels here on earth . >> eclipse chasers packed the explorateur miriam, though we only saw partial eclipse here in the bay area. >> reactions went way beyond the wow level and a new survey is out showing how voters are feeling about a new city in solano county. remember that plan? we have the latest results that could change course in the proposed development ( ♪ ) you made a cow! actually it's a piggy bank. my inspiration to start saving. how about a more solid way to save? i'm listening. well, bmo helps get your savings habit into shape

in hayward. we're live at that fire scene as the crews out there search for the cause of the fire. plus remote work has led to a historic office vacancy rate of over 36% in our downtown, which is led to a major drop in foot traffic. it is a common struggle among big and small cities will tell you the proposed solutions for helping downtown areas bounce back from ktvu. fox two news this morning's on team. >> that's a loud opening bell there as we take you live. pfizer's stock set to open up a bit on news that its rsv vaccine

rosa and san jose. all right. sal is here. a couple of things going on. he will begin with the bay bridge toll plaza. >> and steve, tell pam that the soft 80s like michael bolton are okay. she might like them. >> yeah. soft 80s. >> soft 80s? yeah all right. good morning everyone. let's talk about the triple a traffic camera at the bay bridge. it is backed up. it is a lot different from yesterday when we didn't have a bigger backup. i think on this tuesday, more people are back. maybe monday was a day off or whatever. but tuesday is crowded as you drive into san francisco. this is a look at interstate 880 and that traffic is moving along very well. and on the san mateo bridge it looks pretty good. there have been no major issues in the south bay, and looks like 101 to 80 and 85 are all doing very well. 631 let's go back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal, this morning, firefighters in hayward are cleaning up after a fire at an insulation business. yeah. >> those flames shot up through the roof of that building. and ktvu is amanda quintana is at

the scene right now to tell us what we know so far. good morning. amanda >> good morning. well, the fire is out now, but there are still hot spots. so that is why firefighters are still here. they're still working on that. and now that it's light out, you could really see the extent of damage inside this building. it's west coast insulation here. now firefighters were called here last night around 930. we're at the corner of tripoli way and hall road. and this is a large fire. when units arrived last night to a second, alarm was called. and video from late last night shows flames coming out of the top of this industrial building again, this is west coast insulation here. firefighters were attacking it with water. from the outside. it looks like the business. right next door, a commercial kitchen. also might have some damage, but luckily there are no reports of injuries. >> once the crews arrived on scene, flames were shooting to the roof about 30 to 40ft up in

the air. >> crews made entry and the fire load was was pretty severe. there was a lot of stuff that was on fire, backed out and we immediately went to, defensive mode, called for a second alarm. >> the cause of this fire is still under investigation. we just did see the battalion chief pull up, so i'm sure they are working to figure out what caused this fire. as for how long firefighters will be here, it could be days. one of the firefighters i spoke to earlier this morning said because it's insulation that was burning, it could catch on fire again. so they're really going to stay here for a while. they have a lot to clean up. still live in hayward amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you amanda. well, tesla has settled a high profile lawsuit brought by the family of a silicon valley man who died in a crash. while the car's autopilot feature was engaged. walter huang died more than six years ago when his tesla model x

crashed into a concrete barrier on 101 in mountain view. his family filed a wrongful death and negligence lawsuit against tesla, claiming the car company's driver assist software was responsible for his death. jury selection was scheduled to start this week. >> our time is now 634. a new poll of voters in solano county shows 70% of residents would probably vote no on an initiative to create a new community called california forever. if that election were held today. the poll was conducted by the polling company fm3. it found that solano county voters know about the proposal to build 20,000 new homes near travis air force base. the group behind california forever is right now collecting signatures in order to qualify the measure for the november ballot. well, state lawmakers are worried that downtown areas pam, are and cities around the state are recovering too slow from the

pandemic. a state committee on downtown recovery met yesterday for the first time. it's chaired by state assemblyman matt haney of san francisco. the committee's goal is to create a statewide downtown recovery plan for mayors, including san francisco mayor london breed testified, and gave some pretty sobering information on office. >> attendance is at 40% 46% of pre-pandemic levels as of march. we can no longer rely on five days a week and 9 to 5 employment. remote work has led to a historic office vacancy rate of over 36% in our downtown. >> now, the downtown recovery committee will focus on future topics of crime, homelessness, the fentanyl drug crisis and tourism. their next hearing is scheduled the second week of may , and right now there are at least three bills being debated in the state legislature focused

on downtown recovery. one of them would create a rehabilitation zone for ten years in downtown san francisco, so the bill would speed up approvals for academic campusing, a student housing and sports and entertainment venues. another would allow cities to set up incentive programs for projects that convert office buildings into housing. and then there's a third bill that would help finance those kinds of conversion by letting cities redirect tax revenue. >> today, a group of immigrant and health advocates will call on county supervisors to approve what they describe as equitable health care for undocumented immigrants. now, the presentation at the county board of supervisors starts at 10:00 this morning. the county says in the past two years, its outreach and education network talked to 146,000 undocumented immigrants about obtaining free primary health care. but immigrant advocates say more needs to be done, which is going to be life

changing for so many of our campesinos, but also our day laborers here in contra costa, it's going to mean a healthy life, a healthier life. and actually getting ahead of diseases, and preventative, maladies. >> now, the group one contra costa coalition and hijas del campo, which advocates for farm workers, are helping to organize today's event. they're calling for the county to allow more people to receive free health care by expanding eligibility. >> our undocumented community members pay taxes on a regular basis without any sort of benefit, they don't receive unemployment, they can't, get things like covered california because that doesn't actually cover, our community members who are undocumented. >> and now, despite the latest medi-cal expansion, many

immigrants still don't qualify. so county board of supervisors will vote on a proposal to increase eligibility to allow for essential workers in the agriculture industry to qualify for more coverage. >> okay, pam, time is 638. right back to sal castaneda. sal, everybody behaving for you in the commute? >> i would say so i'm looking around here, dave and pam, the we do have some decent commutes and some other commutes that are a little slower. for example, at the macarthur maze from our aa traffic camera. it looks good coming around the corner, you'll see a bigger backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. so unlike yesterday, today it is a lot more crowded. yesterday we had a little bit of a break. if you remember this is a look at interstate 880 and we've seen some slow traffic here. we've also seen some slow traffic on the san mateo bridge. i want to go to contra costa county because we do have some slow traffic on highway four. but 680 looks pretty smooth getting over to walnut creek. 639 let's bring

steve back in with today's weather. >> thank you. sal. yes, sir. all righty. we'll have sunshine and warm temps today. i have to get cranked up here, but we'll get there and then even warmer tomorrow. could get back to back days of 80s for well inland areas on wednesday and thursday. but i do think wednesday will peak it out. thursday will be okay. friday be the transition day. and yes, it does look like rain returns saturday unless the system slows down or does something. the forecast models are not picking up on, but santa rosa yesterday, napa, concord, kentfield, redwood city, san jose, livermore and vallejo all nice, 71 to 76 degrees. the golfers were out in force yesterday. can't say i blame they'll be out again today and tomorrow and can't say you blame them. tennis players, pickleball players. pamela that was you yesterday, right? all right. a little bit of an offshore breeze. not as much as yesterday . there are a few locations with a little more of an onshore. but today and tomorrow all about sunshine. nice forecast. sunny and warmer temperatures in napa, danville, menlo park, san jose up. we go 77, 77, 76 and 77. i

would think 80 for a few tomorrow. 40s, low mid, upper and even some 50s for some here. so we are running warmer than yesterday at this time. orinda. those down to 41 degrees 43 dublin also lafayette, clayton, danville 44, alamo 43. but then a lot of upper 40s, even some low 50s there. el cerrito 51, pittsburgh 5320s in the mountains, 40s, up and down the coast until you hit los angeles and san diego. then you see some low 50s all about sunshine and warmer temps, but another low looks like it will park itself right along the coast and end up right near the bay area. that will be on saturday and everything says it's going to rain unless something changes again. we still three days away, so like, you know, but usually when they're all in sync on it, that's that's usually a pretty good sign. so i would expect rain on saturday probably into sunday morning as well. but today and tomorrow severe, clear, sunny and warmer. highs 6070 to maybe maybe a few 78. but i think tomorrow we'll get that 80. >> all right steve thank you. time is 641. the buzz on social

media about a rare sight floating across the bay. what we know about the journey of this two story home. >> before we get to that, let's check in with garcia for a look at what else is coming up here on mornings on two. good morning. good morning. >> when i get to join you in studio, pam and dave, steve's been reporting all week about wet weather still in our forecast. but even though we're in the throes of spring, there's already planning being done for summer, even fall and fire season. so new at seven. the changes to how federal firefighters are trained and what it will mean for california's looming fire season, then a law that california voters approved back in 2014 is at the very center of a debate over crime and public safety. the new efforts to change the law, which raised the threshold for some felonies, and why it's splitting democrat, it's across the state. we'll be right back

the hospital with higher reimbursement rates and enables them to remain in network. according to sonoma valley

hospital ceo, the new contract will become effective next month and will run through april 30th, 2028. sonoma valley hospital provides services to more than 1500 anthem members each year. cheaper tickets to concerts and sporting events may be on the way. oakland assembly member buffy wicks introduced the legislation to create competition in the ticket sales industry. the bill is designed to reduce prices and increase availability of those tickets, wicks says. right now, ticketmaster controls 80% of the primary ticket sales in the u.s. this lack of competition, as i said, does hurt ultimately the consumer. since ticketmaster and live nation were allowed to merge in 2010, ticket prices have gone up an astronomical 140. now. ticketmaster released a statement saying the company supports reforms to improve ticketing, but believes the bill will instead undermine the

efforts of artists, sports teams and ticket masters efforts to reduce ticket scalping google flights is revealing the top ten places people in the us are looking to travel this summer. earning the top spot is london, closely followed by paris. travel experts believe this is because of the upcoming olympics that are set to take place in the french city. other notable destinations on the list include tokyo, rome, new york city, cancun, orlando, las vegas, seattle and athens. >> i'll take them. all right. >> me too. >> all right. time is 646 here in the bay area. we only saw a partial solar eclipse yesterday, but people still gathered to share that experience. the exploratorium in san francisco held an eclipse gathering, answering questions about the rare eclipse. many of the people who were there said the eclipse had a deep meaning for them. >> i feel like it's a transformation for, you know, new beginnings, new energy. this is the time of change. you know,

it's pretty awesome. >> i want to actually experience this and this a bucket list issue. and then the with the next eclipse, i don't think i'll be around here. >> i bet you will. now the next total eclipse will be visible in the u.s. in the year 2044. now across the bay in oakland, the chabot space and science center held a viewing party on its observation deck and passed out special eyeglasses to watch the eclipse safely. a lot of people turned out, as you can see, perfect viewing conditions in the east bay hills for some of the younger viewers, it was their first time seeing a solar eclipse. >> when i look in the sun, it's like you could see part kind of like it looks like the sun is kind of like looks like pac-man, but also a bit like, orange ish. >> yeah, that's what i would say. now, along with the safety glasses, visitors could see the

eclipse through the eight inch refracting telescope fitted with a special solar filter. >> well, here is a unique view of the eclipse. wow. this was taken from elon musk's starlink satellite. look at that. you can see the black circle covering part of the earth there as it travels by musk. watch the eclipse on earth in austin, texas, one of the prime spots in the country, he wrote on the x platform was cool to see the eclipse from austin 27 years before. it happens here again. now to see more photos of the celestial event, both from people here in the bay area and those who are right under that path of totality. you can download the fox local app there. you can search for the stories you want to see, including all those about the solar eclipse on demand. just search for the fox local app on your smart tv and select ktvu. >> all right, pam, our time is now 649. a really strange sight floating near san francisco's

waterfront went viral. and here's the reason why. tiktok video shows a two story house moving across the bay over the weekend. on the side, a small boat towing it. now, the coast guard told the sfgate they got the approval about this boat house moving from the dock town marina in redwood city towards sausalito. and as of yesterday afternoon, it was still on its way. the houseboat is the second to last floating home at the peninsula marina marina, which used to house more than 100 people. you never know what you're going to see. you don't see that every day. >> you definitely don't. hopefully that didn't cause anybody. any fender benders, as you know, on the bridge, looking over like what the heck is that? >> a two story house. what is that? >> okay, well, it is a boat, right? >> yes. it's able to float. >> i mean, that's anyway. yeah. good point. i mean, that's why you have your house, but the

possibility of moving it. all right. good morning everyone. you can see that traffic is moving along okay. there's some slow traffic in pittsburgh because of an earlier crash that's been moved to the shoulder, but it is lighter than usual on 680. not every commute is lighter than usual. let's go right to our triple a traffic camera of the bay bridge. you can see that that traffic is moving along okay. no major issues here. interstate 880 is looking good. so again some of these commutes are heavier, like this one. the san mateo bridge. others are lighter. we're not going to ask any questions. we're just going to let it be here. 237 for example. so far, so good. 650 here's a man who knows everything about the weather. it's mister steve paulson. >> thank you sir. appreciate that. all right. there's some fog lingering out there and if it doesn't show up tomorrow, there might be a teeny bit on parts of the coast, but it won't last long. but the mere fact that it's out there, once we get

two, two times already this season, we've shot up to 7078. and the next day fog is back. today will be warm, tomorrow will be warmer, and i do think the fog will start to work its way back by thursday. but for now i think we're pretty good. there's a teeny bit out there, but not much. 20 is up in the mountains, 35 in reno. mammoths at 23. good to go here. temperatures on their way up here, today. tomorrow probably thursday inland will still be warm. coast i think will be a little cooler, but another low looks to be on the way here as it drops in for the weekend. so. and get out and enjoy today, tomorrow and thursday. but i would have a back up plan on saturday if you have outdoor plans. it sure looks like rain arrives saturday into early sunday. today though, except for a teeny bit of patchy fog on the coast. it's severe clear here. it will be nice and warm for everyone. 60s and 70s on the temps. the warmest day appears to be tomorrow. still nice on thursday, although i think some fog comes back then changes friday into the weekend. dave. >> all right steve thank you. time now 652. the state of hawaii may start cracking down on vacation rentals new at 7:00. why visitors from the mainland
