the north bay mayor will gather for a press conference. what they are saying about their pursuit for justice after the attorney general decides not to file criminal charges, and a san

francisco man was sentenced to probation for the stabbing death of a 97 year old woman. but now a judge says that sentence is illegal. more on why and what happens next. and as expected, the rain is here. let's take you outside. we can see some wet roads in oakland and it is wet across the bay area on this saturday morning. more on how much we expect to get and how long this april storm will last from ktvu fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> good morning to you and welcome to mornings on two. on this saturday, april 13th, take a look behind us. a lot of green on their screen. good morning to you i'm claudine wong. >> you know when you're doing traffic green on the screen is a good thing. when you're doing weather. not so much unless you love the rain. and we've had our share and it's coming down at droves right now. let's check in with rosemary and find out how much and when it might stop. >> good morning. good morning. you're not going to stop anytime

soon. and yes, we are covered in it from the north bay. all the way down into the south bay, giving you a live look here over the gray skies and the golden gate bridge. the rain is falling and do expect it. for most of today we will break away to scattered showers by the second half, but just take a look. we are covered. we don't even have to spend a whole lot of time trying to zero in and see where we have the rain, because it is everywhere at this time. and as we move in a little bit closer, you can see over areas of the south bay a little bit of pink and white mix with snow levels down to about 4000ft. in fact, over the santa cruz mountains it may be just under 4000ft. so a chilly storm by april standards. we do expect to get anywhere from half inch of rainfall to nearly two inches by the end of the weekend. and our afternoon highs way below average, as well as the breezy conditions. a better look at those current conditions out there and what we can expect for the weekend, as well as the sierra coming up in just a little bit, sounds good.

>> thank you. rosemary, if you are going to get out and about, we want to keep you covered traffic wise. and if you're on highway 80 westbound in emeryville, this is what you're looking at right now. ashby and chaumont avenue. there was a crash about a half an hour ago. ac transit bus and a car. they collided. it actually blocked highway 80 and chp actually had to shut it down for a short spell. they are now letting some traffic through. they've got tow trucks on the scene trying to get the bus in that car out of the way, but traffic is moving, although very slowly right now. so if you can avoid highway 80 westbound there at emeryville, right before the bay bridge, likely a good idea elsewhere. let's take you to the oakland coliseum. the a's actually have a game today. might be a little wet there, but traffic is moving just fine. and once again, let's take an overlook with one of sal's maps. and as you can see, mostly green on the screen. got an issue. it looks like on highway 24 there. and of course,

right at that belmont ashby area and a little bit of construction on a couple of fender benders out there. so if you are out and about, take it slow. those roads are mighty wet. >> time now. 703 happening today. we do expect to hear from the lawyers who are speaking on behalf of the women who have accused a former windsor mayor of sexual assault. this will be the first time they are speaking since the state attorney general's office announced it would not file criminal charges against him. let's go now to ktvu. james torres live for us with what we expect to hear today. >> claudine. good morning. well, lawyers for one of dominic foppoli's accusers say they are still working on a case against him. and a statement regarding these most recent headlines regarding the attorney general's decision not to file charges. that attorney says in part, the ag's decision not to file charges at this time has given our sisters, our mothers, family and friends who have had their voice. taken away, a chance to

come together, an opportunity for hope and to be heard again. it was just two weeks ago when we heard state attorney rob bonta announcing his office would not have enough evidence to support bringing forth charges against foppoli. this comes three years after at least two women say he sexually assaulted them. foppoli denied those allegations and spoke to ktvu after the state general's state attorney general's decision dropped. >> very, very clear since the beginning that there was no truth to any of this, and i'm just, i think glad that we're finally able to move on and hopefully start to heal. >> we did hear from the sonoma county sheriff's office, which launched an investigation of its own, to submit for prosecution, though it details the resources used to gather, gather evidence and make a case, officials simply said they respect the attorney general's decision. now, those attorneys representing foppoli's accusers say april is sexual assault awareness month, so they're

using this opportunity to bring victims together while announcing what steps they'll take to move forward with civil charges against the former windsor mayor. their news conference is set for 1 p.m. later today in santa rosa. reporting live this morning. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you james. well, family members of a championship bicyclist who was killed in san francisco is now responding to a possible plea in this dui case. 44 year-old ethan boys was killed while riding his bike in the presidio in april of last year. 81 year old arnold lowe is now facing charges of vehicular manslaughter for allegedly driving under the influence and causing his death. prosecutors are reportedly considering a possible plea deal that would mean lowe could spend a year behind bars. family members of the bicyclists have now sent a letter to the judge in the case, saying they would be satisfied with that proposed plea deal next week. lowe is scheduled to appear before that. judge, who had earlier expressed

concerns about the terms of this reported deal. >> time now 706. for almost eight months, a new bike lane down the middle of san francisco's valencia street has been frustrating both businesses and even some cyclists, as they maneuver in and out of bike lanes into traffic lanes there. one business owner says the bike lane is intrusive and detrimental to business in that neighborhood. he is so upset about the street design he's on a hunger strike in protest. >> i just taken on myself and decided to sleep here for 30 days for a hunger strike. even though it sounds really, really difficult and an extreme going extreme. small businesses go in amazing suffering, people losing their livelihood, people losing their houses. so i just want to people to be able to see it rather than just talk about it. so that's the main purpose of this. >> he is currently in day seven of the 30 on that hunger strike. chp arrested a couple carjacking

suspects after they led officers on a chase throughout the bay area friday morning. the chp spotted a car, wanted a connection with an oakland carjacking up north in solano county. chp says it waited for its helicopter to arrive before trying to pull over the car. instead of stopping. officers say the suspect sped away. eventually the chp telling ktvu officers were able to stop the driver in the terra hills neighborhood using spike strips. suspects then surrendered to the police. >> a superior court judge in san francisco has rejected the sentence of probation for the man convicted of fatally stabbing an elderly woman. last month, 35 year old danielle couch was sentenced to five years of probation for the stabbing death of 97 year old ann peng taylor in june of 2021. that was the result of a plea between couch and the court. however, yesterday another judge declared that sentence illegal and said it cannot take effect. and that's because couch was already on probation for two

felony burglary convictions at the time of the crime. california penal code says that disqualifies him for any sentence of probation. a hearing will be held on tuesday to determine next steps. >> caltrans pushing back its planned closure of highway 37 over the weekend, with wet weather moving in the paving work will now start on friday, the 19th of april. westbound highway 37 between highway 29 in vallejo and 121 at sonoma will shut down that weekend, and the following weekend, and the eastbound lanes will be closed the weekends of may the 3rd and may the 10th. because it is muddy wet out there. >> oh it is, and i got to tell you, you guys have been talking about this rain rosemary. we knew it was coming. and yet even this morning when i woke up, i'm like, what? too much? it's here. it's a lot. yeah. i mean, and you know, you know me. i was talking about, like, taking out the cushions for outdoor furniture. i did that this week, enjoyed it, and i threw them back in because because it

wasn't just sprinkling today it was going to rain. rain today. yes, yes. >> yeah. claudine, you're not alone. i don't know how many people have said. is it safe to bring out the patio furniture? well, for a few days, perhaps giving you a live look here at the golden gate bridge, where it is a soggy start. we showed you storm tracker two at the beginning. we'll show you here again where it is just covering us from the north bay, through the central bay and the south bay, and we're talking about this being a cold storm with snow levels. it looks like below 4000ft in some areas. you can see the santa cruz mountains. loma prieta sits before below 4000ft. we've got a little bit of rain, snow, snow mix there and then areas over the diablo range in mount hamilton. we've got some snow there in mount hamilton, closer to about 4000ft. so the rain is widespread. the winds are breezy out there. take a look at the sierra. it's still quiet. it is working across the bay area, the sacramento, san joaquin valley and eventually up over towards

the sierra. with a little bit of snow expected there, but no advisory for travel. although you will need the chains for the snow tires, so just be prepared if you're going up. here's a look at lunchtime so that big wave moves through and then we break away to scattered showers for the afternoon. we also have the risk of thunderstorms. in fact, take a look at 4:00 in the afternoon. the yellows, the oranges, the reds indicating that possibility and risk of thunderstorms for us into the afternoon and for those that have evening plans, we will be partly cloudy and mainly dry. rainfall amounts from here to the end of the evening, another quarter inch to half inch expected and in the sierra going to get a few inches of snow. but take a look at how low pollock pines sits. just about 4000ft, but placerville sits below 2000ft, so we are looking at temperatures to be on the cool side. better look at these afternoon highs and the rest of the weekend coming up in just a bit okay. >> thank you rosemary. well, rite aid is closing two bay area

guarantees for current seat holders. we haven't heard an offer from the a's yet, so we don't know what they're going to do for us. >> native oaklander jose patino is, like others, resolved with the inevitable. >> it's too bad that they couldn't come up to him with an agreement for them to build another stadium. you know? but i mean, that's the way it is. i mean, there's nothing that we actually can do. >> others blame the owners and elected leaders for the loss of our home team. >> i hope at some point, oakland's leadership will come to the knowledge that we have to do better. we can't just think one way. we can't be like everybody else. we got to think outside of the box. >> hard feelings, not hard to come by here. >> i'm thoroughly disappointed, but i kind of understand both sides. i love oakland, but oakland's got to do better. >> laverne grew up in oakland. she worries about the jobs that will be lost and the impact on the town. there's a couple of generations in there working, and now they're all out, going

to be out of a job. >> and it's just very sad. so it's a trickle down effect. >> john malak is an avid a's fan. >> yeah, i've been i've been to 38 consecutive opening nights. i was here in 74 world series. he says he'll still support the a's on their way out of town. i did buy 50 tickets for the last game on september 26th, and i got a bus coming from the restaurant that i manage, and we're all going to come to the last game of the year and it might be the last game in oakland. >> so alice wirtz ktvu fox two news. >> a celebration of spring in japanese american culture is kicking off today in the rain, mind you, the northern california cherry blossom festival happening in san francisco's japantown. it is second largest cherry blossom festival in our nation. events begin this morning with a taiko performance that happens at 11:00. festival aimed at celebrating the japanese american culture and the cherry blossom bloom. there will be a grand parade, floats, performances, the works, food

vendors, events are all happening today and tomorrow as well as next weekend. >> well, caltrans says the work to stabilize the crumbling cliff near highway one and big sur will reach an important milestone by memorial day. it's been nearly two weeks since heavy rain washed out this part of the cliffside south of the rocky creek bridge. right now, the only way in or out is a daily convoy at 7 a.m. or 5 p.m. caltrans says it anticipates that crews can get enough work done to stabilize this part of the highway by may 27th, after which that convoy system will end. then there will be alternating one way traffic through that area, but it won't need an escort. no estimate, though, on when that road is going to be fully repaired. and that storm kind of didn't take us off guard. we were expecting it, but it was right. it was a lot. we i think that's what we were saying about that one. we're like, oh, that was a lot. >> that's always a mess down there though. they've been

struggling for years and years, by the way. i just checked highway 80 and 50. no change required. but you said snow is going to fall. maybe as low as placerville today, is that right? >> yeah. we're at least that's the projection. most of the models are projecting. the snow level will be about 4000ft. and we're actually seeing that a little bit of snow in our hills as well this morning, giving you a live look over san francisco. but yes, the west slope, as well as the sierra, still quiet as this hasn't moved over towards the east far enough and we'll take a look at the radar here in just a moment. let's take a look at some of the rainfall amounts from the last 24 hours the boulder creek, the santa cruz mountains, 83 107 inch the inner east bay. concord reporting 10th of an inch. but oakland, san francisco both nearly almost 3/10 or so. and we still have more to go. in fact, the very widespread heavier rain is going to be with us through the morning hours and a view there of storm tracker two, where it is over the north bay. the central bay, the south bay from the coast inland, we're seeing it and the white indicating some of that higher elevation snow

for our hills this morning with a cold storm moving overhead. if i back up just a little bit, here is the center of the system. and as it works its way toward the east, it is going to provide us with that unstable air that could bring us the afternoon thunderstorms. if you take a look at the sierra, you can see why it's still fairly quiet there. you don't need the chains just yet, but this is moving over over the next few hours. and even though there is no winter weather advisory per se for travelers, do expect the slick roadways as well as the hazardous conditions over the sierra later today. here's a look at the future cast. there's that front moving through right now. there's a look at the center of the storm. notice how it just kind of spins off our coastline by 4:00 in the afternoon? we're tracking those thunderstorms the oranges, the reds, and then into the evening hours. we may have those pop up showers that continue. if you have dinner plans or out and about, do expect to have the umbrella the tomorrow morning. we will continue with unsettled weather as this takes its time

to move through california. by the afternoon noon. still calling for a scattered shower. you can see it's not going to be widespread and you will have opportunities to get out and about. but we will be unsettled through most of the weekend with the widespread rain moving through right now, temperatures across the bay area on the chilly side in the 40s, 46 in the north bay of napa, 46 in san francisco, and our afternoon highs for today mid to upper 50s, which is anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees below average for this time of year. temperatures will be a little better tomorrow and then mid 60s with dry conditions on monday, back into the 70s once again. tuesday, wednesday, back to you okay. >> thank you rosemary. we have been keeping an eye on the roadways during this april shower. and there was a big issue at this area right here. that's highway 80 westbound at ashby and chaumont. ac transit bus and a car collided about 630 this morning. they actually had to shut down the highway for a

bit to get those two vehicles off the roadway. but as you can see, traffic is flowing nicely now through that 80 corridor. and onto the bay bridge. so that's good news and especially good. it happened on a saturday and not on a friday because that could have been a real mess. how about highway 280 down in san jose? a little bit dark a little bit wet. you can see the headlights and the tail lights going both ways. so that is good news. here's an overall look traffic wise throughout the bay area you can see the bay bridge. you got a couple of fender benders that highway 80 situation and a little bit down what looks like 101, but mostly green on the screen. if you're out there, take it slow. it's mighty wet. >> happening today san francisco honoring labor leader cesar chavez with an annual parade and festival. that festival starts at ten this morning on 24th street. he'll go from folsom to bryant, and the annual parade begins at 19th and dolores at 11 a.m. it'll wind up at mission and 24th. san francisco supervisor ash-shafi'i will

you're heading out today, umbrella, windshield wipers and keep the speed down a little bit. welcome back to ktvu mornings on two on this green on the screen. saturday >> good morning, i'm frank mallicoat and i'm claudine wong. yes. let's talk about how long that green is going to stay with us. meteorologist rosemary oroczo joining us. and i know there's some festivals and events happening in the city. and i know they're sitting there thinking, okay, cherry blossom festival. we had 80 degrees two days ago. it's only going to rain today. the cesar chavez parade and festival as well in the city. i'm sure organizers are saying, really? >> gosh, i know, i bet they say more than that. 1:00 right? we are not going to have this steady downpour all day long. but, you know, for folks that do need to get out there and set up, it is a soggy one to start the day giving you a live look here over san francisco, we will turn over to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms for the afternoon. but this morning at this hour. take a look. we are all covered in the rain and as we move closer to areas over the south bay and our hills, you can see we've got some rain,

snow mix and snow right over it looks like a loma prieta in the santa cruz mountain area. and then as we look off toward the east mount hamilton area in parts of the diablo range. so that's right, about 4000ft, even a little bit below in areas like loma prieta, i think it's closer to 3800ft. take a look at the little pink over mount diablo this morning. that's closer to 3500ft. so it is a cold storm that is moving through the bay area. and if you are thinking about getting outdoors at any time soon, go for the thicker raincoat because those temperatures are in the 40s. this morning, our afternoon highs will also be below average temperatures. slightly better for tomorrow and drier tomorrow, although not completely dry. a better look at the current conditions of what we can expect for your weekend coming up. >> okay. thank you rosemary. all right. let's keep an eye on the roads for you this morning in case you need to head out, because certainly as we look at the bay bridge toll plaza, this is a saturday morning. so not a ton of traffic out there, but we

have been seeing the chp all over the map this morning. literally as there's been minor accidents and slide outs, and there is roadway flooding and got off the freeway today. and there was just, you know, a couple inches of rain, just enough to catch you off guard when we've had some dry days. let's take you out to san jose and we can see the headlights on at 730 in the morning. usually we be enjoying, you know, some daylight and some sunshine, but not today. and so it is going to be slow as you go everywhere around the bay area. if we take a bigger picture at the traffic map for you, this morning, again we are seeing just minor fender benders. you can see as we kind of scan. nothing major to report for you. they've been able to clear up these little issues that they've had back and forth this morning. but they are constant fender benders, small accidents. so you're still going to get in and around the area, the green on your screen telling you that the traffic is moving. but make sure you slow down, give yourself some extra time. it doesn't take a lot to cause some issues this morning for you

well as the diablo range, mount hamilton area, you can see we've got some snow here and pockets of moderate rain falling over areas of the south bay. we are going to be with this at least for the next few hours, and then it pushes out and we will have scattered showers periods of on and off rain for the rest of the day and isolated thunderstorms expected in the afternoon as well. it's a little breezy out there, especially in our hills. mount diablo reporting a 35mph right now in and a little bit of a rain snow mix falling over to mount diablo at this hour as we take a look to the north bay. big rock reporting 21mph. so a breezy one to start the day. temperatures even chillier than yesterday morning in many areas in the inner east bay. 44 in walnut creek. right now we have 46 san francisco as well as half moon bay in our afternoon highs for today, 5 to 15 degrees below average and mid to upper 50s for most of us. san jose will be right about 60 degrees, and that's going to be one of the warmer spots. i'll have a better

look at what we can expect timeline wise of this system. the rest of your weekend and the extended forecast coming up. >> all right. thank you. rosemary, what two palo alto police officers accused of violating department policy. according to a new audit, the incident involving a suspected drug dealer. >> also ahead, a very tiny home hitting the market for nearly 2 million bucks in the south bay. and there's a potential buyer. we'll tell you about the sticker shock in the south bay coming

since appear to have stalled between the registered nurses professional association and county leaders. the nurses union telling the san jose spotlight they may go on strike again.

three day strike earlier this month, forcing the county to spend $20 million on outside nurses just to keep the three county hospitals operating. the nurses say in addition to pay, they are calling attention to short staffing and workplace safety. county execs james williams said the county is ready to sit down with the nurses at any time. >> well, pg is facing another lawsuit over that massive dixie fire. the timber company collins pine is asking for $225 million in damage. that's in connection to that 2021 fire, which was determined to have been caused by pg and e equipment. the company says the wildfire burned tens of thousands of acres of timber and trees and damaged their facilities in plumas county. and just when you thought the bay area real estate market could not get any crazier than it already is, a house in cupertino, which is basically the size of a hotel room, sold on friday for around $2 million after just six days on the

market. >> tiny little house. the house does not even have any kind of heating nor stove ktvu mark sayer has a look at the factors behind the big sale. >> so we are in the master bedroom slash living room, that opens up into the dining area, slash kitchen listing agent fabiola perez. >> bonafide doesn't have to spend too much time to show this home. in fact, you've just seen more than half of it. here's the other half. >> this area here can be used as a closet or a space for a dresser, and then it leads into your bathroom at just 384ft!s. >> you've now seen the entire house, which has no appliances and no heating. it takes just a matter of seconds to walk from one side to the other. so why is this house so popular? >> it is, quite compact in size, but it has a big powerhouse of possibilities, which i think is what drew such huge crowds here

over the weekend. >> the house sits on a 7800 square foot lot, enough to build a nice sized new home. so just six days after the home was listed, cherry, she put down an offer that she says is well above the $1.7 million asking price. >> so how could i say it's a very crazy she has been looking for at least three months and says finding homes in cupertino has been even more difficult recently, since the fed has not cut interest rates as some had expected it to do in recent months. the property i'm expecting bigger, but actually it's come out anyway. this is the price in this market. >> she is buying on behalf of another person who does intend to build here. builder amir naghavi with paradise homes says the price to build varies depending on upgrades, but you could expect to spend over $1 million in a process with design and permitting that could take a year and a half. >> it depends on what you want to do with the house. i mean, if you want to build a what we call

a home depot grade, home, it costs differently than if you want to buy a build something that is a little bit higher up. and then very custom homes, people can, can still build a pretty good sized home here and, be in the neighborhood where all your neighbors homes are worth, 4 to $5 million. >> so i think that's the potential people saw when they came through this tiny home was a hunting cabin that was originally built in the 1940s. >> it has never been any bigger than it is right now. reporting in cupertino, i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. >> you know what? it's actually a bargain. i just looked up the median sale price for a home in cupertino, the home of apple. take a stab. >> well, the realtor was saying 4 or $5 million. >> it's close. 2.9 million median that to just get your foot in the door there. >> if that neighborhood you're saving a million bucks. that's the idea, right? is that you buy the worst house in the best neighborhood and then fix it. and then fix it. so if it go up 2 million, you put in a million to build, which is what they

just said. then you're at 3 million. sell it for four and your neighbors are 4 to 5. all right. but this is why, like a regular not regular people, but your average person, rosemary, is saying, well, okay, hold on, let me just get my 4 million out of my pocket. >> it's bay area real estate arithmetic, and it's crazy. >> you're trying to, like, justify it while your brain's exploding. >> yes, yes, i fit within that working class. you know, sort of group. and so, yeah, long story short, can't buy that house giving you a lot. yeah. giving you a live look here over sfo where it is gray out there this morning. it is soggy. it's a bit breezy. no advisories is even if you're going to the sierra. but do expect the slick roadways and a little bit of snow. meanwhile let's take a look at some of the rainfall amounts already here at home in the last 24 hours. or, you know, perhaps the last 12 hours or so. ben loma, santa cruz mountains, almost an inch, santa rosa and oakland, a little bit more than half inch. san

francisco, a little bit more than a third of an inch. and milpitas about, you know, close to half inch. storm tracker two we're just covered in it. and we do have snow levels down to about 4000ft. even a little bit below that. we started this morning with a little bit of snow. loma prieta, which is below the 4000 foot mark, but it looks like it's turning over to a rain snow mix at this time. but any anywhere you go this morning we are just covered in rain. the sierra still waiting for the rain to turn over to snow right about 4000ft. and so that is what is working. its way over the next few hours. this is the center of the storm. it's going to take most of the weekend before it finally pushes out. so this morning we're calling for it to be the main event when it comes to just all the widespread rain, we break away to scattered showers for the afternoon, but we also have the risk of thunderstorms once again, and the futurecast model paints it nicely for you. getting into the afternoon. mostly cloudy skies, the yellows, the oranges, the reds giving us that idea that we

could again have those thunderstorms pop up seven 8:00 in the evening. we've got scattered showers that continue to fall for those that will be out and about enjoying evening plans or dinner, here's a look at tomorrow morning. we're mostly cloudy, we're mainly dry, but we know for mostly cloudy we definitely have that risk of isolated showers as well as drizzle to start the day and into the afternoon. still a few scattered showers lingering before we dry out and warm up once again. getting into the business week. not today. not much better for tomorrow. rainfall amounts. we could see another quarter inch to half inch, maybe even a bit more for areas that do have a thunderstorm that kind of roars through later today. snowfall in the sierra only expected to be a few inches, but again down to about pollock pines, you know, below 4000ft will be a possibility. temperatures this morning as a result of this cold storm in the 40s. it's a chilly one out there in our afternoon.

highs below average, widespread 50s. today. we will be slightly better tomorrow. and then if you do like it, warmer that weather is on the way by tuesday. wednesday mostly sunny skies back in the 70s. back to you. >> okay. thank you. rosemary. all right. let's take you outside to check those roadways as well. there's highway four rolling through bay point. looks like traffic is moving along just fine in that area, but the roadways are wet. we saw an incident on state road four in march creek road a little earlier, where a solo vehicle just kind of slid off the roadway. and i think that's what we're going to be seeing this morning. it doesn't take much with these roads that they're slick. there is also flooding that we're seeing across the bay area, just like 1ft or 2ft. but that ends up creating an issue if you're driving down the road, coming off an off ramp and running into some standing water, let's take you over to the golden gate bridge to check out the situation there. again, headlights still on for folks, windshield wipers going. you see the flag blowing on the side of

your screen there, and you can see these are winter like conditions that we're getting in april spring storm. but certainly something catching us off guard when you consider it was 80 degrees in some places on thursday. and then we'll take you to one more picture if we can, and show you the traffic map for around the bay area. and you can see those little red boxes are the incidents that are popping up. so the green means traffic is flowing. but those little red boxes that you're seeing there alerting you to the idea that there is there are problems kind of just in and around the bay area. these are fender benders that we're seeing, small accidents, vehicles sliding. so be careful if you are headed out on the roads this morning, how about some basketball? >> the warriors missing a golden opportunity to leap over the kings in the playoff pecking order last night. both teams lost. so there will be a lot riding on their final regular season game at home tomorrow against utah. last night's loss to the pelicans, the dubs outscored 4522 in the second quarter. they never recovered. new orleans beat the dubs at chase center, 114, 109. the

warriors will host the utah jazz tomorrow for that final regular season game of the season, and here's how that playoff pecking order stands, well, we'll just tell you this much the lakers need to lose. and so do the kings. for the warriors to jump to that eighth spot. if the kings lose and the warriors win, they will move up a spot and if the lakers and the warriors tied the warriors do have the tiebreaker there. so it's kind of nba math. but it should all work out. bottom line, if the lakers and the kings both lose and golden state wins, that's a very good thing tomorrow. all right glory for that. >> well bart announcing winners of teams. the teen poetry contest, the select stations where you can read the inspiring words on what makes the bay area home for our youth. >> we've increased our, closing

has given our sisters, our mothers, family and friends who have had their voice taken away, a chance to come together and opportunity for hope and to be heard again. it was just two weeks ago when we heard from state attorney general rob bonta, announcing his office did not have enough evidence to support bringing forth charges against foppoli. this comes three years after at least two women say he sexually assaulted them. foppoli denied those allegations, and he spoke to ktvu after the state attorney general's decision dropped. >> and very, very clear since the beginning that there was no truth to any of this, and i'm just, i think glad that we're finally able to move on and hopefully start to heal. >> we did hear from the sonoma county sheriff's office, which launched an investigation of its own to submit for prosecution, even though it details the resources used to gather evidence and make a case, officials simply said they respect the state's decision. now, those attorneys representing foppoli's accusers

precedent here in america, but puts public safety at risk for california, who do depend on news to keep us informed of life threatening emergencies and local public safety incidents. this is clearly an abuse of power and demonstrates extraordinary hubris. >> all right, time now. 837 we can't stop talking about the weather, rosemary, because it feels not like spring. >> yes, including here in the studio. >> these aren't warm showers we're getting. >> yes. yeah. somebody forgot to turn off the ac. and we are. oh, my god, a little cool in here. >> 40 degrees in spring and summer. it's not. >> they they only knew the heating unit we have down here. >> all of our little secrets. good morning both of you. happy saturday everybody. happy soggy saturday. widespread rain across the bay area, snow in our hills. in fact, we've got some to show you. a little tough to see here. this is actually mount diablo where rain, snow and snow mix

feel like spring? it still feels like winter with our afternoon highs. well below average 56 for santa rosa today. 58 in oakland, where we have the a's playing 60 degrees for san jose, a better look at the timeline of this system, plus the risk of thunderstorms and what we can expect for the rest of the weekend and the extended forecast coming up. >> thank you. rosemary. if you're looking to add a new member to your family, consider this adopting a puppy. still to come. we're live from the puppy palooza, where dozens of pups in need of new homes are up for adoption and a house the size of a small studio apartment sold in less than a week. >> and guess what? the price was around 2 million bucks. why? the home's realtor says that tiny home sold for so much. that's next.

county executive james williams said the county is ready to sit down with the nurses at any time. >> all right. just when you thought the bay area real estate market couldn't get any crazier than it already is, there's a house in cupertino basically the size of a hotel room, a really nice hotel room, but a hotel room, very small, sold on friday, and the price was 2 million bucks. it was only on the market for six days. >> about that. the house does not even have any kind of heating nor stove. who needs a stove? yeah i mean take out every night. ktvu mark series looked at the factors behind this sale. >> so we are in the master bedroom slash living room, that opens up into the dining area slash kitchen. >> listing agent fabiola perez bonafide doesn't have to spend too much time to show this home in fact, you've just seen more than half of it. here's the other half. >> this area here can be used as

a closet. or a space for a dresser, and then it leads into your bathroom at just 384ft!s. >> you've now seen the entire house, which has no appliances and no heating. it takes just a matter of seconds to walk from one side to the other. so why is this house so popular? >> it is, quite compact in size, but it has a big powerhouse of possibilities, which i think is what drew such huge crowds here over the weekend. >> the house sits on a 7800 square foot lot, enough to build a nice sized new home. so just six days after the home was listed, cherry. she put down an offer that she says is well above the $1.7 million asking price. >> so how could i say it's a very crazy. >> she has been looking for at least three months and says finding homes in cupertino has been even more difficult recently, since the fed has not cut interest rates as some had expected it to do in recent months. >> the property i'm expecting bigger, but actually it's come

out anyway. this is the price in this market. >> she is buying on behalf of another person who does intend to build here. builder amir naghavi with paradise homes says the price to build varies depending on upgrades, but you could expect to spend over $1 million in a process with design and permitting that could take a year and a half. >> it depends on what you want to do with the house. i mean, if you want to build a what we call a home depot grade home, it costs differently than if you want to buy build something that is a little bit higher up and then very custom homes. >> people can can still build a pretty good sized home here and be in the neighborhood where all your neighbors homes are worth 4 to $5 million. so i think that's the potential people saw when they came through this tiny home was a hunting cabin that was originally built in the 1940s. >> it has never been any bigger than it is right now. reporting in cupertino, i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. >> so they just spent 2 million

for the lot basically. how about that? president biden officially declared the start of black maternal health week through april the 17th, according to a report last october by the california department of public health, black women are 4.6 times as likely to die of pregnancy related causes than california women as a whole, doctor carla wicks from kaiser permanente east bay says postpartum maternal care is important because sometimes the health risks show up after the baby is born. >> we know that various underlying conditions that patients and particular black patients have prior to the pregnancy can often manifest themselves during that postpartum period up until the first year, and that may be high blood pressure or diabetes, and even postpartum depression. >> the american recovery act extended postpartum care options last year for medicaid

recipients from 60 days to one year to address some of those health concerns. >> well, there's another reason for young children to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. new research found that children who spent a lot of time in areas lush with green spaces have stronger mental health, the study found children between the ages of two and five, who often visit parks and forests, have fewer emotional problems later in life, and the same research found that simply heading out to the backyard of a home can also improve a child's mental health. i think going outside can improve my mental health, and i'm not a child, so i think for all of us, it's good. when it was sunny, rosemary, the first sunny day that we had, i just went out into my backyard and i just like lay on the ground. i do that in the morning and i just took some vitamin d. yeah, can't do that today. >> i think this is the issue this and video games for kids because they'll stay indoors forever. right. and you know, sometimes we go home after a

morning shift and you get lost on your phone, you know, scrolling. and it's lovely outside. you're like what am i doing. yes. we will get back to those lovely days with sunny day today. right. today's a good day for a movie. we will be mostly cloudy and scattered showers as well as the risk of thunderstorms for today. the widespread rain is moving through this morning. it will begin to taper off though, giving you a live look here over alcatraz where from the north bay through the central bay and the south bay, we are still covered in rain and snow falling in our hills with levels below 4000ft this morning. ben lowman more than an inch reported in the last 24 hours. santa rosa and oakland reporting a little bit more than half inch. san francisco a little bit more than a third of an inch. milpitas, 78/100 of an inch reported. storm tracker two again, just very widespread. we showed you some video over on mount hamilton a little while ago, as well as mount diablo. a little hard to see from, from those

cameras. but we again are looking at the rain, snow and snow mix and over areas of lake county of course. but look what's so let's what. well, back here we've got a little bit of a break coming our way. looks like by about noon time, we will have mostly cloudy skies. now, this the core of the storm is going to work its way through california over the next 24 to 36 hours. and that's where some of that colder, unstable air is going to bring the risk of thunderstorms. so by the afternoon, we could see those. here's a look at the futurecast model. by noontime. mostly cloudy skies, scattered showers across the bay area. we've got a steady rain in the sacramento san joaquin valley as it works over towards the sierra, turning over to snow. and there's a view of the risk of thunderstorms for us into the afternoon. if you're going to be out and about, keep an umbrella handy because even when you know it looks cloudy and like it's clearing out, it really doesn't. we have that potential for on and off showers even through the evening hours. tomorrow morning. we start out

mostly cloudy, mainly dry, a few sprinkles, a little bit of drizzle. here's a look at 5:00 in the afternoon. we are still dealing with the unsettled weather and you know the mere fact that we have snow on our hills this morning pretty much tells you that it's a cold storm. temperatures are struggling this morning in the 40s and for the afternoon, several degrees below average, with most of us in the 50s. for the second part of the day, the extended forecast here, we will be slightly better tomorrow. not quite as wet, and temperatures will come up just by a few degrees. monday even better. and then by tuesday into wednesday, if you are enjoying those 70s we had earlier in the week, they're coming back. we've got mostly sunny skies, low 70s on tuesday, upper 70s on wednesday. back to you. >> okay. thank you. rosemary well, some of the most common health problems in the us are preventable still to come. we're live from san francisco, where a doctor and chef are getting ready to demonstrate how to use fresh, seasonal produce in everyday meals to live a healthier life, and its fans

night in the first game of their weekend series. giant hitters continue to struggle at the plate. the giants go zero for ten last night with runners in scoring position. that's awful. and the giants have only had three extra base hits during the past three games. no power giants record now sits at five and nine out of the early game. how about the a's? they host the washington nationals this afternoon for game two of their series. that's following a thriller last night at the coliseum. lawrence butler hit the game winning rbi single here in the 10th and had a solo home run earlier to lead the athletics to a21 walk off win over the nationals. a's are in third place in the al west, better than the giants. they sit at six and eight now. the weekend series at the coliseum, marking the first time the a's have returned home since the team made that announcement that next year they will play their games in sacramento. ktvu alice wertz spoke to some of the a's fans who attended last night's game against the nationals.

>> drumsticks chicken. >> the aroma of meat on the barbecue wafting through the air from tailgate to tailgate. music playing. but the feeling is different. fans know this is the last season of the a's here in oakland. last week, the team announced it's officially heading to sacramento for the 2025 season. >> well, i wanted them to stay, but i know that that it's a business, so they have to make money. and, it's too bad they couldn't come up with an agreement for them to stay. >> your season ticket holders. yes will you continue to be season ticket holders next year? >> sacramento is the equal distance from mercedes. oakland is. and you don't have to cross the altamont. so probably so there's no word as to any guarantees for current seat holders. we haven't heard an offer from the a's yet, so we don't know what they're going to do for us. >> native oakland jose patino is like others, resolved with the inevitable. >> it's too bad that they

couldn't come up to him with an agreement for them to build another stadium, you know? but i mean, that's the way it is. i mean, there's nothing that we actually can do. >> others blame the owners and elected leaders for the loss of our home team. i hope at some point oakland's leadership will come to the knowledge that we have to do better. >> we can't just think one way. we can't be like everybody else. we got to think outside of the box. >> hard feelings, not hard to come by here. >> i'm thoroughly disappointed, but i kind of understand both sides. i love oakland, but oakland's got to do better. >> laverne grew up in oakland. she worries about the jobs that will be lost and the impact on the town. there's a couple of generations in there working, and now they're all out, going to be out of a job. >> and it's just very sad. so it's a trickle down effect. >> john malach is an avid a's fan. >> yeah, i've been i've been to 38 consecutive opening nights. i

was here in 74 world series. he says he'll still support the a's on their way out of town. i did buy 50 tickets for the last game on september 26th, and i got a bus coming from the restaurant that i manage, and we're all going to come to the last game of the year, and it might be the last game in oakland. >> so alice wertz, ktvu, fox two news. >> smart man. well, the warriors missed a golden opportunity to leap over the kings in the playoff pecking order. both teams lost. so plenty will be riding on their final regular season games tomorrow. and last night's loss to the pelicans. the dubs were outscored 4522 in the second quarter. never recovered. new orleans beat the dubs chase center 114, 109. the turning point, as mentioned that second quarter, the pelicans turned a nine point deficit into a 14 point halftime lead. so the warriors have now dropped to the 10th seed. they must win in tomorrow's final regular season game to move up with little help against utah. they need a laker loss tomorrow to new orleans and a win over utah to grab the nine

spot. if both the kings, who play portland tomorrow and the lakers lose, the w riors win would grab t 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. ♪ heatin' up the kitchen ♪ ♪ we got somethin different ♪ ♪ spreadin' good vibes all day ♪ ♪ livin' in the golden state ♪ ♪ nada se puede comparar ♪
