the name? this is ktvu fox two news at noon. >> good afternoon. >> i'm gasia mikaelian i'm andre senior. >> let's get to some breaking news on the peninsula right now. a person found dead on the tracks in palo alto near the california avenue caltrain station. the incident reported around 920 this morning. a train first reported seeing an object on the tracks and was unable to stop. officials say the object ended up being a person who had died. caltrain is currently checking video records to determine when the fatal incident would have occurred. we will continue to follow the story and bring you information as it becomes available. >> we also say goodbye to the warm weather here in the bay area, as cooler conditions have moved in today and there's rain in the forecast for the weekend. meteorologist roberta gonzalez is live with what to expect with that rain. roberta. >> yeah, you just nailed it. garcia. we do have winds of change and they are blowing this way. for example, first things first, let's take a look at the current conditions in and around the bay area at this hour. we do have temperatures in the 50s and

low 60s. it is 55 degrees in half moon bay, otherwise 63 degrees in livermore. after reaching a high temperature yesterday at 84 degrees 63 in napa and in fremont, a pair of sixes pretty consistent around the santa clara valley. these temperatures are up to 13 degrees cooler than 24 hours ago. when you were here watching this broadcast, we're talking about petaluma and in throughout the tri valley. how about 11 degrees cooler in hayward? back in through san leandro and san lorenzo and 11 degrees cooler around the peninsula in san carlos butting up against redwood city and also redwood shores. the winds are gusty. fairfield right now 25 with the gusts up to 29. and as you take a look at these wind speeds, these winds will remain with us throughout the day. so when you couple up those air temperatures in the 50s and 60s, it feels a lot colder than where we have been the past three days. and it's all because of this. we do have this cold front. it's a

late season, winter cold front that's invading our area during the month of april, and it will descend into the bay area. so today, the big emphasis is the cooler weather. but as this low pressure pushes into the bay area and makes tracks towards southern california as well, we will have rain. we do have the potential of a thunderstorm and we do have some gusty winds. and we will be tracking it all for you. and that's coming up a little bit later in this newscast. >> roberta, thank you. a milestone announced today with respect to reforms at the san francisco police department. the mayor and police chief say the police force is on its way to completing what it set out to do . crime reporter henry lee live at san francisco city hall with details. henry >> yeah. gasia. police and city leaders say the sfpd of years past is no longer that the department has transformed itself into a national model. now, it was back in 2016 when the sfpd started this journey to

reform itself. after a number of controversial, deadly shootings and a text message scandal. those challenges led to the ouster of former top cop greg sir and a pledge by the department to make changes. sir was in attendance today as his successor, chief bill scott, said officers have made significant strides in a number of key concepts from reducing the number of shootings, use of force, especially in communities of color, and bias based stops. now, the department worked collaboratively with the state and federal departments of justice on working on 272 criminal justice reforms. today, the chief said the department has turned in paperwork showing it's wrapped up work on the final 27 recommendations. but both the chief and the mayor say this is not the time for officers to rest on their laurels. >> this is an accomplishment, but each and every one of us know that there is a lot more work to be done, and this work called reform is never truly over. but we have put in place

systems, we have put in place, infrastructure we put in place to support, to overcome challenges and to adapt when we need to. >> while this is definitely a commemorative moment, this does not mean that we won't continue the great work that we are doing to balance the reforms that we need to implement, as well as making sure that we focus on public safety for san francisco, we can do both. we have done both. >> now, both the mayor and the chief made clear today reform is not perfection. in fact, they made clear it doesn't matter how long it takes, just the matters you put in all the work to make sure that the department is on the way to reform. now the public defenders office just minutes ago said they are waiting to make sure that the department continues on this trend. they say they are being vigilant to make sure that power is not abused. live in san francisco henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> henry. thank you this

water and that much turbulence, it kicks up stuff off the bottom, which makes visibility really difficult. so a lot of times you can be underwater and not be able to see more than a foot in front of your face. >> the sonoma county sheriff's office is getting help from napa county. their marine unit, bringing their submersible. >> it's basically like an underwater drone with a camera system, so it allows us to look a little bit further. and in places that maybe we couldn't get a diver. >> sacramento county also bringing a different type of sonar that helps map out the terrain at the bottom of the river. the message to others is, although the russian river is fun in the summer, now is not the time to get in the water. >> the water is moving very fast. it's still at a high level if you're not an experienced swimmer. we urge you not to swim in the russian river at this time. i know that it's temperatures are up outside and it draws people to the river, but we caution everybody to be very careful because this is a very common occurrence when the water is moving at the rate it

is. >> the sheriff's office says the search will continue as long as it's safe, until they either bring the boy home or run out of area to search. nearby in forestville, amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> new at noon south san francisco based genentech is laying off hundreds of workers, according to a notice to the state. this week, the company will lay off 436 employees at its south city headquarters in a statement to ktvu. the company said as part of these ongoing evaluation, we identified the need to reduce 3% of our workforce. genentech wide across several departments. this change supports our strategic objective to deliver transformative medicines to patients faster by allowing us to place greater focus on the most promising molecules in our portfolio. the layoffs are set to take effect in june. the oakland port commission unanimously approved the first step in a plan to rename oakland international airport san francisco bay oakland international airport. ktvu s amber lee was there for the decision and brings us this reaction. >> enthusiastically, i seven
