food to a much needed area where, i mean, it's kind of becoming a food desert with all the places closing, it's kind of nice to have a one stop shop for everything. you can literally go to ikea, get something for the family, go down a bark, go back home. >> the space has been in the works for about three years, and it's designed to be more than just a food hall. it's a destination for the community. according to the managing director, elise von helion. >> we're really hoping that we can complement market street right now. so there are some businesses that are leaving. from my understanding, however, we have so many other businesses around here that we're actually working together with to make sure that we can bring people into the city and enjoying the space, von helion told us. >> they're working with community groups such as the tenderloin children's center to offer programing. eventually saw u-haul will also offer culinary classes, and they intend to offer live entertainment in the space in the weeks and months to come. >> we also have an entertainment license as well, so we're looking to have programing here too. so we also for the month of

april, we're open from wednesday through sunday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. >> saul u-haul has also worked with the city's economic and workforce development for hiring. there are over a dozen people that have new jobs full time, making $20 an hour or more here, and the expectation is there will be more people hired in the future. as the hall grows and the community embraces this new space in san francisco, alice wirtz ktvu, fox two news okay, as we head towards friday, which essentially is the weekend, as we get closer to the weekend, we're going to see some rain showers on saturday. >> saturday is the wet day. friday is manageable, just cooler, today that cool at the coast because of the fog. it was warmer inland because the fog was stuck at the coast and the visibilities were very, very low there for a time. this low pressure is going to do what it does that happens. it starts tomorrow. that's what the clouds and a little breezy and cooler, not 80s like we had today, but temperatures in the 60s, maybe a low 70s, south bay and then rain

and showers on saturday. saturday is interesting though, because it does look like there's going to be some holes. like in other words, it's not. it doesn't. it looks like the heaviest rain. the consistent rain wants to come in overnight friday night into saturday morning. so by the time you get up, most of the heavy rain could be hopefully would be done. and then we get into the afternoon. scattered showers, chance of a thundershower and that's just dodging raindrops. but in terms of getting out and doing stuff, i think saturday there's potential. i think it's going be one of those deals where you look at the ktvu app, weather app, and you look at the radar and you go green. okay, i'm going to wait 20 minutes. no green, i'm out. go do whatever you do. take the dog out for a walk or take the kids out or something like that. so that's what i do. that's and that's how saturday is going to be. i'm going to be watching the radar going. maybe i can get out, maybe i can, you know, maybe it's time to stay in. but saturday wet day, i think the problem will be with baseball games and stuff, because the field, you know, the inland field gets wet and they can't

really play on that. so there'll be a little bit of that. here is the weather system. it's going to come down the coast. it's warm outside right now. you see the cooler temperatures. i didn't want that. you see the cooler temperatures lower temperatures at the coast and then warmer temperatures inland. so we got a little microclimate thing going on, which is to be expected this time of year, 8 a.m. on friday, tomorrow morning, and then some clouds, but nice. and then friday afternoon. friday is not a bad day, just cloudy and cooler. and then here comes saturday about 2 a.m. this thing rolls in and then look at the main crux of it is through by 8 a.m. and so now you kind of get a big break between 8 a.m. and 2 or 3:00, and then a few more scattered showers possible. so we'll keep an eye on it. sunday looks like it clears out pretty quick. sunday would be the best day on the weekend, but i'm not saturday. be interesting to see what happens. i'm just. but just keep in mind that's the day you're dodging raindrops. looking at the ktvu weather app, the radar which is all you need and just make the call. that way it's not the kind of day you're going to pull 18 holes. i don't think, but it's the kind of day

where you could probably get nine in. we'll take that golfer. i'm just using the golfing stuff. but yeah, you can nine, you get nine. >> that's good bill. yeah. all right. thank you. federal prosecutors in los angeles have charged shohei ohtani's, former interpreter with bank fraud. he is accused of stealing $16 million from ohtani's bank account to pay off gambling debts. prosecutors say he was able to change the settings on ohtani's bank accounts and impersonate him, so that the baseball star would not get alerts about the transactions. authorities say there's no evidence that ohtani knew of the interpreter's actions, saying he is the victim in the case. >> still ahead tonight, the now retired tara vanderveer has some very complimentary words for stanford's likely new head coach, kate pay. our jason appelbaum will have more on that. coming up next in sports
