>> and i keep forgetting it. >> that's okay. i'm so excited. i'll be. i'll be using it happily. yeah. >> i'm working saturday morning, so i'll leave it for you then, because i know you'll be sleeping on saturday morning. as you should be. well deserved. hi, everybody. yes, steve paulson sleeping in this morning. a much deserved day off. we have what you're looking for. and that is your bay area forecast. if you enjoyed it yesterday you're going to love it today i'm tagging on a couple more degrees after a very cool start with temperatures in the 40s and the 50s. it is currently 53 degrees in walnut creek. how about a pair of fives in san jose? later today? sunny skies inland in the mid 80s. full sunshine around the central bay. coastal areas. just a splash of some sunshine once the may gray clears. we have your full forecast. that's coming up just a matter of minutes from now, but sal castaneda, he's in the house, he's buckled up and he's ready to go. >> well thank you, roberta. you know, we do have a crash now. it's not going to affect that

many people, but it will affect some on the maritime on-ramp to the bay bridge there at west grand. you can see it in this picture here, kind of far away. see those flashing lights up there that's going to affect traffic? it's an overturned truck. as you come in. so it's right there from the port of oakland. one of those semi trucks did flip over. perhaps the load shifted. that's not unusual. this happens every once in a while. it's not affecting the bay bridge traffic. i do want to mention that on the east shore freeway, we did have a crash. west 88 university. that's a separate incident involving a big rig that's on the shoulder. we're going to keep an eye on everything, and we'll be here letting you know. 402 let's get back to the headlines. >> all right, sal. thank you. well, very angry residents in the santa cruz mountains were furious as they packed into a community auditorium to speak out and share their anger about losing their homeowner's insurance. this, after several major insurance agencies decided

to drop insurance coverage in california. ktvu bailey o'carroll reports from scotts valley about the frustrations of those residents. >> they say they have your back until stuff happens and then now they're out the door. >> it's a sentiment we heard over and over tonight. residents in the santa cruz mountains left confused and unsure how to find new coverage. >> how many of you have been dropped or non-renewed by your insurance company, so guess what? you're not alone. >> according to an independent insurance agent at the meeting, none of the major insurance companies are issuing new homeowners policies in scotts valley, the average price of insuring a new home would be two and a half to three and a half times more than just five years ago. in that new price could be comparable to a second mortgage for some. >> my insurance has been canceled, it will be canceled in august, and i've been told i can only go onto the cal fare plan and then get supplemental. and given what i've heard, i expect

that insurance to probably triple. so up to maybe 15 k just for the fire tonight. >> hundreds who've been affected demanded answers from public officials. >> what do i do if i've been non-renewed for homeowner's coverage? the answer get out there and start shopping for coverage. there are a lot of, let's say, more obscure insurers that you may not have heard of. you really have to search the entire market. that means contacting multiple agents before you give up and settle for a fair plan. >> the ultimate fear that the rise in cost of insurance would drive people out of the area. >> a lot of people have left or are trying to sell their houses now to get out, because they don't know what's coming. >> the california department of insurance was on the panel tonight, but would not speak to the media when we asked them for an interview for this story in scotts valley. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. bailey. well, this afternoon protesters at san

francisco state university will announce that they have reached an agreement with the school. >> their student protests started more than two weeks ago. now, the protesters say san francisco state has agreed to divest from weapons manufacturers, while also creating ways to develop new screening procedures to prevent making investments in companies that violate human rights. >> later today, several demonstrators will move from the uc berkeley campus to uc merced, where uc regents will meet during the next two days. three protesters took down their encampment at berkeley after the school chancellor agreed to a comprehensive examination of university investments and to quote, social responsible investment strategy. under this agreement, the uc berkeley foundation will review all investments and here community concerns about companies that may be linked to weapons manufacturing, mass incarceration and surveillance industries. however, they did not commit to making any change to investments.

>> a lot of this is bigger than uc berkeley, uc berkeley is a small component, a small a small gear. and, you know, you know, where the power is really situated in the state of california, the uc regents, the state of california, and the nation as a whole. >> protesters planned a big rally today at uc merced, where they are demanding the entire uc system to divest from companies that support israel. >> our time is 405, and for the time being, the university of san francisco does not plan to take down the encampment on its campus, but protesters are warned they could be suspended or expelled for violating the code for student conduct. united will never be defeated now. the protesters ignored a deadline to leave the campus by 3 p.m, and they staged a rally. they set up tents two weeks ago and demanded that usf, a private institution, divest from companies linked to israel, along with supporting palestinians on the campus or in

gaza. we've had folks whose friends lost 30 over 30 people from their family entire, like bloodlines lost. >> so all of this really, like, amplifies the need for us to be a voice for the people who don't have a voice. >> now, university officials told the protesters they're willing to call for a ceasefire in gaza and also give the student protesters 1 or 2 seats on an investment task force and make changes in the curriculum, like adding palestinian studies. usf sent a statement here to ktvu. it reads in part, we remain committed to continued dialog and have not cut off conversation. there are no plans to clear the encampment or involve law enforcement as long as the encampment is peaceful and nonviolent. our time is now 407 and other news. two alleged thieves are in custody now after a car chase in san francisco ended in a dramatic crash. now,

this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning to you and we thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it's wednesday may 15th. let's check in with roberta gonzalez for our weather forecast. should people grab a coat on the way out. it's going to be pretty warm. >> yeah, it's not that bad. you can do a heavy sweater or a light jacket out the door. the coldest temperature this morning is down to 49 degrees. otherwise, not too bad. into the 50s. good morning everybody. rise and shine. our air temperature later today will top off at a 63 degree reading along the seashore, which does feel a little brisk when those afternoon winds do kick up 85 degrees away from the bay into our inland areas. right now, santa rosa up to 50. otherwise, we're still seeing 49 around guerneville and sebastopol it will be 53 degrees around the walnut creek area. actually, it is 53 there now. and if you look around the peninsula, also 53 around belmont later today, only a hint of some clearing around

the seashore. at 63 we will have full sunshine later today and a good looking day around the peninsula into the mid 70s. 80s away from the bay side into our inland areas. 85 degrees are outside number full forecast is just a matter of minutes away, but right now sal castaneda. and do you have the latest on the bay bridge? >> i do, and traffic on the bay bridge. roberta is doing okay. we do have that issue that james is just about to tell us about it in a moment, but if you're driving to the bay bridge on 80 westbound, it looks okay. there have been no major issues here. driving up to the bay bridge toll plaza. i do want to mention that if you are driving to the bay bridge, the traffic is moving well all the way across the span. you can see our air traffic camera shows that and also one of our other triple a traffic cameras here, the san mateo bridge. that looks great. heading out to the peninsula. so roberta mentioned it. it's going to take hours before cleanup crews remove the big rig. that's

now on its side. here on one of the ramps across the freeway. crews are trying to do it as fast as they can. since traffic will pick up over the next few hours. ktvu james torres is live near the scene. what do you see? james >> yeah, so we get a pretty good vantage point from the bay bridge toll plaza here. you can see right behind me, right on the overpass there. this is if you were on interstate 80, headed towards san francisco, so headed toward the bay bridge toll plaza and then you would get off of that maritime grand avenue offramp. that off ramp is now shut down for the time being because because of that big rig that is overturned on its side, right now, you can see two different tow trucks that are working on trying to get an upright here. it's not standing straight, just yet, but according to chp, it's a truck that made its way up from l.a. it's carrying about 73,000 pounds worth of rice. doesn't sound like any of that spilled. from what we can see, chp did

not request any help from any hazmat crews, so it doesn't seem like there's any fuel leaks. no rice leak. so not too much of a mess on the off ramp. there it's just the truck that has leaned on its side and that's why you have the two tow trucks here that are trying to work to upright it here. as far as the traffic, not too much affected here so far. i mean, we are only talking just a few minutes after 5:00 this morning. so cars are running very smoothly, very easily through the bay bridge toll plaza, headed into san francisco from oakland. but that off ramp, that grand avenue maritime offramp coming off 80, that is shut down for now. so if you need to make your way in that direction, certainly consider a different option before you head out the door this morning. chp says it might be a couple of hours before they can actually get that truck up and moved out of here. and then, of course, cleaning up some of the debris that might be left over. we'll keep an eye on it for the morning. and once we know as soon as that off ramp

reopens and as soon as that truck is out of the way, we'll let you know. for now, we're live this morning. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you, james. the other developing story we're following for you. highway patrol investigating a crash in redwood city that happened on interstate 280 near edgewood road a little after 10:00 last night. a ktvu viewer tells us a car was driving on the wrong side of the road and hit another vehicle. this is video from another viewer who said people were ejected from one of the vehicles. we are waiting on more information from the chp about exactly what happened and the condition of those involved. this afternoon, protesters at san francisco state university will announce that they have reached an agreement with the school. >> their student protests started more than two weeks ago. now, the protesters say san francisco state has agreed to divest from weapons manufacturers, while also creating ways to develop new screening procedures to prevent making investments in companies that violate human rights. >> later today, several

are demanding the entire uc system to divest from companies that support israel and paying for the time being. >> the university of san francisco does not plan to take down the encampment on its campus, but protesters are warned they could be suspended or expelled for violating the code for student conduct. united will never be defeated now. the protesters ignored a deadline of 3 p.m. to leave the campus, and they staged a rally. they set up tents two weeks ago and demanded that usf, which is a private institution, divest from companies linked to israel along with supporting palestinians on the campus or in gaza. >> we've had folks whose friends lost 30 over 30 people from their family entire, like bloodlines lost. so all of this really, like, amplifies the need for us to be a voice for the people who don't have a voice.

>> university officials told the protesters they're willing to call for a ceasefire in gaza, and also give the student protesters 1 or 2 seats on an investment task force and make changes in the curriculum, like adding palestinian studies. now, usf sent a statement here to ktvu. it reads in part, we remain committed to continue dialog and have not cut off conversations when there are no plans to clear the encampment or involve law enforcement. as long as the encampment is peaceful and nonviolent. >> two alleged thieves are in custody after a car chase in san francisco, and it ended in a dramatic crash. it happened yesterday morning. police rushed to a report that someone was mugged just north of golden gate park. they say the suspect was escaping. the police chase was called off, fearing that the for the safety of people in the area . but the suspects kept going, speeding down cabrillo street before crashing into a mini

cooper, then slamming into an apartment building. >> it's an act of god that there was nobody standing on this corner when this car came through. >> this kind of stuff doesn't happen too often in this neighborhood. it's pretty quiet out here most of the time. >> the two suspects were eventually arrested. the man who lives in the building is now displaced until repairs can be made. >> your time now. 509 highway one through big sur, expected to reopen on friday. now this stretch of road near rocky creek bridge, south of the carmel highlands, was closed last month because of damage caused by storms. caltrans crews hope to reopen it by memorial day weekend, but governor newsom went through that area on a tour and he had some better news. caltrans is working overtime, subject to an act of god. >> extreme winds, unlikely rain, but extreme winds will be able to achieve that. 630 this friday , highway one will be reopened.

>> how about that? earlier this month, the governor signed a state of emergency proclamation to secure $100 million in federal funding to repair that road. >> and if you're heading to the carmel by the sea area or monterey bay, you're going to experience some pretty cloudy conditions for the morning hours with gradual clearing during the day. hi, everybody. good morning to you in monterey bay today. gray slate. and then 57 degrees otherwise at the state capitol at 91. how about tahoe 71 degrees. just brilliant conditions there. after a couple of days of afternoon thunder bumpers not going to experience that today. santa barbara socked in, but later 65 an average high this time of the year is 70 degrees in los angeles, forecasting 69 degrees. it's live. it's our weather camera. officials sun up this morning is at 559. yeah, it's getting earlier each day. and when you rise and shine and head out the

door, you'll notice the gray skies. in fact, we have the gray conditions, the marine layer. it is now streaming all the way into our livermore, where visibility is now under ten miles. four mile visibility in santa rosa, three miles at the seashore. temperature 52. in half moon bay and across the bay into oakland, also in the low 50s. it is now 55 degrees in throughout the rose garden district of san jose. winds are slight there. in fact, the winds are slight everywhere except for fairfield. even half moon bay with a wind under ten. but those winds pick up later today west and then west southwest up to 15. and it sure does blow the pollen around, doesn't it? a lot of dander in the atmosphere, a lot of oak and mulberry trees blossoming, causing your eyes to water. and the same thing. now the walnut trees are coming into play. so we have this area of low pressure. it continues to take the precipitation, while to the north of the bay area you can see some very light precip around canada. otherwise we are

on the high and dry side. i don't see any kind of precipitation perhaps towards memorial day, but that's a far way out. still let's bank on today. 63 in pacifica to 70 around the bay side, 85 degrees are outside number. we will pinpoint your neighborhood forecast and even the extended outlook. dave. pam. that's still coming up. >> all right. thank you. roberta. affordable housing for senior farmworkers is on the line. the decision made at a packed meeting with the city council in half moon bay and you're about to meet the young man who was accepted into 120 colleges. >> you'll hear this bay area high school student talk about his incredible academic achievement

throughout the tri-valley, where now that marine layer has surged inland by a good 50 miles. it is 50 degrees in santa rosa, backing through novato and nicasio, now jumping up to 52 degrees there, 55 in fremont and in san jose. otherwise, around the peninsula, gray skies and the low 50s winds are up to 21 at travis and fairfield. otherwise, these winds are under ten miles per hour, and all of our reporting stations. but these winds will kick up later today. and i keep jumping up and down and featuring the pollen report, because there are more people suffering this year than ever before, because we had such a great rainy season. and it's the oak and the mulberry and even the walnut tree count now coming into play. so high pressure here. but when you see that gray slate just hugging the coast of california, we have a trough to the north of us. it has been enhancing that marine layer. when you see the bright blue specks here, that's an indication of some condensation in the form of drizzle not

happening except for offshore. we will see the clearing all the way back to the coast today, and then a deeper marine layer impacting your temperatures for thursday. today, pinpoint your neighborhood. how about 75 san mateo, 75 benicia and vallejo 77 degrees. and throughout union city 63 to 85 dave. the full five day forecast. it's coming up in the next half hour. >> all right, roberta, thank you. time is 521. governor newsom was on the peninsula explaining his plans to transform california's mental health system. the billions of dollars that will come from proposition one, recently approved by voters. and in san francisco, some important projects are underway. coming up, how the city's aging water and sewage ystem is getting upgrades

>> the packed meeting in half moon bay over an affordable housing project for senior farm workers. what local leaders decided about that plan overnight from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. good morning. >> thank you for joining us here. on mornings on two i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> welcome to the middle of the week. it's wednesday it's may 15th i was outside in the parking lot for just a minute. it did not feel as cold as before. it felt mellow. >> he sneaks out. >> well, i do sneak out. yeah. >> so nicer today? >> roberta day? >> well, that's why you pay me, roberta, my human weather station. >> thank you very much for that report. but you know what? you're always spot on. temperatures this morning are slightly more mild than 24 hours ago, and they're going to pan out to be pretty close to average for this time of the year. if not even slightly above normal, like in santa rosa. but look at that big jump in los

gatos in the santa clara valley and also above average in danville, and also the tri-valley. now, right now we're very mild. yesterday at this hour, we had plentiful temperatures into the 40s. right now, temperatures span from 50 in santa rosa to 55 degrees across the south bay. later today, a hint of some clearing along the beaches in the 60s 6070s, combat around the bay side 80s in our inland areas outside number 85 in pittsburgh and in bay point, as well as antioch. our full forecast is just maybe a couple of minutes away, but right now we want to hand it off to sal castaneda, who's been way too busy for this hour of the morning. sal. yeah. >> you know the lanes on highway 24. we're going to start there. roberta. from walnut creek over to oakland, we had some repaving work. now it's been picked up at the last minute that we checked here. i just checked just now. and let's put up the map. i'll show it to you there. westbound 24. the traffic is now improving here. where that it was right

where i put this indicator. we still have a little slowing. eastbound 24 approaching saint stephens. good to know that the westbound lanes are open after that repaving project. we're also looking at the ramp, the big ramp coming in from this. if you use the port of oakland from 80 coming around and making that big turn back toward the port, that's blocked with an overturned truck, fortunately, it's not having a major effect on the bay bridge commute traffic, although as the sun comes up, more people on eight 80th may be taking a look at that. it may be a visual hazard for people on. eight 8532 let's get back to the headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, san francisco mayor london breed says she will not take part in the mayoral debate that's scheduled for monday in a statement, her campaign said there are reports of, quote, troubling connections between the campaign of candidate mark farrell and the debate organizers together. sf instead, mayor breed says she will attend a moderated discussion between mayoral candidate supervisor

aaron peskin at manny's monday night. mayoral candidates mark farrell, supervisor asher salvi and philanthropist daniel lurie are still scheduled to attend that debate. now voters in san francisco could be asked to approve a $390 billion bond measure to help revitalize the city. mayor breed introduced that measure, backed by six city supervisors. the funding falls into four main categories funding for public health facilities like zuckerberg san francisco general hospital, shelter and housing for homeless families, street safety and road repaving, and public space and park improvements. if it's approved by the board, the measure will go on the november ballot. >> the planning commission in half moon bay has approved a new housing development for senior farm workers. dozens of people attended last night's planning commission meeting, which went well past midnight. the proposal to build a 40 unit, low income

apartment complex for senior farm workers in downtown half moon bay has divided the community. we don't have this program now, so it's definitely something that we have way too much going on down here. >> we have schools, churches, boys and girls club down here. it's just not the right space for that. >> well, there's always reasons not to build something somewhere. people will always find that reason. but we really have to look at who we're building. this for. the most vulnerable are senior farm workers that have dedicated their lives and their physical health to us. >> last year's mass shooting at a mushroom farm in half moon bay exposed the poor living conditions of farm workers. last week, governor newsom urged the city to move forward with the project. >> all right, our time is 534. voters in alameda county will decide whether to recall and remove district attorney pamela price from office during the november general election. last night, the board of supervisors scheduled that recall date for november fifth. ktvu allie

rasmus is here in the studio now to tell us why they agreed on that date. good morning allie. >> good morning dave. well, it came down to the cost. the alameda county registrar of voters told the supervisors it would cost between 15 to $20 million to hold a special election this summer. now, august or september were the other two dates. this recall election could have been held, but including the recall of district attorney pamela price on the ballots in november general election. it will only cost the county an extra $4 million to do that. and that's what they ultimately decided on in a vote last night, after hearing more than two hours of public comment both for and against the recall of the da, more than 100 people signed up to speak. >> da price should not face voters again until she nears the end of her first term. this is what voters expect when we elect our representatives. recall should be a last resort. >> there are so many businesses that are closing down because they are. the da is not

prosecuting these criminals. >> in april, the alameda county registrar of voters certified that recall supporters had gathered enough signatures to qualify for a recall election. state law says once that happens, the county has to set a date for a recall within a specific time frame. a maximum of 180 days. may 14th, the night of the meeting last night was the deadline to do that, so the supervisor had no choice but to set a date at its meeting. supporters of da price liked the idea of this recall election being held during the general election in november. it is, of course, also a presidential election, so generally speaking, presidential elections tend to get more attention and higher voter turnout. dave and pam, back to you. >> okay, ali, thank you. our time is now 536 in santa clara county, a new proposal would ban homeless encampments near creeks. now, on friday, the santa clara valley water district will hold a special meeting about an ordinance to make it illegal to camp near waterways that are owned or

maintained by the district. valley water says the growing number of camps threatened the environment, and its workers violate hours of that ordinance could face fines up to $500 and 30 days in jail. >> san francisco supervisor asha sapphire introduced a new resolution to urgently restore millions of dollars to the department of children, youth and family. now, he says, he wants city leaders to restore $25 million in funds that were cut from the agency. he also accuses mayor london breed of prioritizing bringing pandas to the city over programs for children and families. sapphire is running against breed for mayor now. he released a statement reading in part, quote, if we can rally to fund a home for pandas, then we can certainly unite to fund the essential programs for youth. our youth rely on. we need a budget that shows we care equally about all parts of our community, from our beloved pandas to our precious children. breed has said she plans to raise the $25 million for the pandas through private donations

. however, she does need an exception to the city's law that bans private donations and fundraisers for special projects . >> our time now. 537 the sonoma county board of supervisors voted to strengthen penalties for banned cannabis operations in unincorporated areas. now, the penalties include $1,000 fines for each plant over the personal cultivation limit. the amended ordinance is scheduled for a second reading june the 4th. if it gets final approval, it will take effect in july. these new rules would line up with state laws. a san jose city council member wants new regulations on tobacco shops. peter ortiz says young people can get access to dangerous and illegal items that vape and smoke shops, including cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms, says the memo, approved by city council, puts a moratorium on conditional use permits for tobacco shops, and it also directs city staff to create a

program to better enforce illegal activity. >> tomorrow, donald trump's defense attorneys will continue their cross examination of trump's former attorney, michael cohen, in court yesterday, trump's attorneys portrayed cohen as a liar who is determined to see the former president behind bars. now a group of trump supporters spoke outside the courthouse yesterday, including some republican vice presidential contenders. >> this is a sham. this is not the united states of america. this is some third rate banana republic. >> everybody used to make the pilgrimage to mar a lago. now they're making the pilgrimage to lower manhattan, and that's smart. >> the defense is expected to begin calling their witnesses next week. it's still unclear if trump himself will testify. well, new this morning, bay area football powerhouse de la salle high school will play a game in england next season. ktvu was allowed at the school to record one of the team's practices. de la salle will play at the stadium belonging to the tottenham hotspur soccer club in london, tuesday, october 8th. the opponent is the nfl academy,

a youth football development program run by the league. >> we'll try and be in a, you know, great shape by the time we get there, adjust to the time change. you know, there's going to be a lot of there's going to be a lot of challenges that accompany a trip like this. but yeah, like i said, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity that, you know, we're not going to pass up. >> de la salle players first learned about the trip by seeing a surprise video announcement during a team meeting. a nike representative who played at de la salle was instrumental in setting up the game, which takes place two days after the minnesota vikings face aaron rodgers and the new york jets at the same stadium. >> so this morning when i was driving to work, i could actually see the first quarter moon. it was perfectly 50% illuminated, just hanging out in the morning sky. well, no one could see it this morning now because the marine layer has pushed on shore, it's live. it's our weather camera looking out towards the estuary this morning . thank you to doug michaelson.

he's in our tech department, our technical operations center. and he's providing us with this beautiful view of the estuary looking out towards a very quiet oakland a's coliseum right now. because of that marine layer, visibility is down to five miles in half moon bay, four in santa rosa, and the low clouds and patchy fog has even streamed inland. a good 50 to 55 miles towards the tri-valley. visibility now under ten miles. today it's going to pan out to be a good looking day. once we get rid of the may gray tomorrow, the temperatures go down just gently before they go back up on friday and then we go cooler over the weekend, but still a very dry weather pattern. temperatures right now between 50 and 55 degrees in fremont and in union city. besides fairfield, the winds are under ten miles per hour. these winds will be rotating today west and west southwest, but that's pretty much an onshore flow up to about 15mph. so we

have a trough to the north of us that habit has been enhancing this marine layer. when you see the blue specks here, that is condensation in the form of drizzle from the thickness of this marine layer, basically 500 to 1100 feet deep. now watch this morning progress. we see the clouds retreat back to the coast and pretty much hug the seashore all day long with very little clearing. then that marine layer pushes back onshore tonight, overnight and even deepens. so just a couple of degrees cooler for your thursday. meanwhile, let's count on today 63 at the seashore, 75 in san mateo and across the bay vallejo, benicia, martinez, american canyon, all in the mid 70s. we have 76 degrees slated for mountain view and low 80s in concord. we will talk about the giants forecast. boy, it's been kind of dismal at the ballpark, but we'll have that outlook for you coming up just in a couple of minutes. as >> thank you roberta. >> this is actually a really important moment for voters to

understand and pick apart what is actually good and reliable information, helping voters spot misinformation, leading up to the november election, findings of a new poll showing the top issues for a demographic playing a key role here in california and battleground states. >> also, escalating operations by israel in rafah as the war in gaza continues. you have details of the new aid the bid

administration, sending more than $1 billion in additional military aid to israel. it's the first weapons shipment the white house has sent to israel since it delayed a transfer of 3500 bombs to keep israel from using the bombs as part of its offensive against hamas in rafah. that crowded city in southern gaza. officials in qatar, who've been helping to negotiate a cease fire, say there is no progress. >> it is clear to us that there is no roadmap towards an end to this war. we're going through a stalemate. >> now, as israeli tanks roll further into rafah. thousands of palestinians who were displaced to rafah from other parts of gaza are on the move again. the

united nations says 360,000 palestinian has left rafah in the past week. >> pro-palestinian demonstrators are planning more protests against google. we want freedom, we say how? more than 100 demonstrators blocked the entrance to google's developers conference at the shoreline amphitheater in mountain view. they're calling on google to end dealings with israel, especially project nimbus. they claim it's $1 billion cloud services contract that provides the israeli military with surveillance and illegal data collection of palestinians. >> there is nothing that would bar the israeli government from using these cloud services. >> this demonstration followed last month's protests at google. offices were about 50 employees were fired for staging the rallies. california is making the first round of money from proposition one available sooner than expected. that money will help build housing and treatment

beds for people experiencing serious mental health illnesses and addiction. $3.3 billion in funding will now be available in july. originally, applications for the funding were set to open in the fall. >> prop one encourages counties to be ambitious about behavioral health care services, and to address the root causes of the many challenges our communities face. >> voters approved prop one in march. the measure authorized the state to use a total of $6.4 billion in bonds to tackle the homelessness crisis. a second round of funding is expected to open by the end of the year, and a third round sometime in 2025. >> our time is 548. president biden moving ahead with a plan to raise tariffs on $18 billion in chinese goods, including electric vehicles. the sweeping tariffs will include 25 to 50% increases on steel and aluminum batteries, semiconductors and solar cells. the tariff rate for

chinese electric cars will double. president biden says it's all aimed at protecting american workers. >> bottom line, i want fair competition with china and not conflict, and we're in a stronger position to win that economic competition in the 21st century against china than anyone else, because we're investing in america again and american workers. >> now, many of the terrorists will take effect next year. a spokesperson for the chinese government called the increased tariffs bullying. >> all right. time to check in with sal and our commute this morning. how's it look, sal? >> it looks okay. there are a couple of issues out there, but for now, we're getting a little bit of a bigger backup at the bay bridge. i want to show it to you at the bay bridge toll plaza with our triple a traffic camera. you can see that it is backed up now, the ramp closure that we have on the exit from 80 over to the port of oakland is not having a major effect on the traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza, you can see the san mateo

bridge is moving along very nicely. and in the south bay we don't have a lot of slowing, maybe a little bit on northbound 101 at mckee and on the peninsula this morning we have a pretty decent commute. i've been looking up and down and likewise for the 80 freeway. so if you have a little time to get out there early, you're going to get a decent commute. but these things, as you know, change rather quickly, especially after 6:00. 549. let's talk about today's weather. here's roberta. >> sal, it is so comfortable, isn't it? >> it is i like it. >> yeah. thank you. i'm glad you do like it. because what you will be experiencing today, it's pretty much going to hold all the way through the weekend, except the temperature will vary , maybe a couple of degrees here and there. that's about it. it's a stagnant, benign weather pattern. it is may gray looking out towards the estuary. water temperature at this hour is 54, and the gray slate has caused visibility to be reduced to the north four miles five and half moon bay. and that marine layer, it is now marched inland. a good

50 to 55 degrees, even encompassing the delta at this hour. visibility slightly below ten miles per hour. looking out towards the skyline this morning out of oakland, we have right over here. yeah, it's moving around a little bit. there. we have the tribune building, the tower stands at 305ft, cloud deck at 500. so not obscuring visibility in oakland, but the may gray will retreat. we will have thursday. another cloudy start, and then just a couple of degrees cooler due to the thickening of that marine layer. and then over the weekend, a quiet weather pattern continues. right now 50 to 55 degrees. the winds are under ten miles per hour, except right over here. every morning. it seems to be a little bit breezy out towards fairfield. travis and in the delta. we do have the winds onshore right now at sfo, up to five miles per hour. so we have the clear slot, but it's not until you get way out over the open waters, everybody else experiencing a gray slate, high pressure there. we have a couple of troughing, this one to the

north, and this one is going to keep anywhere from point conception in santa barbara all the way south to san diego. socked in warm conditions inland. we're talking 90s in sacramento and stockton, merced and modesto, 74 today in palo alto, otherwise 75 in san mateo, 82 degrees in concord, clayton, and also walnut creek. how about low 80s in fairfield? bested by antioch and pittsburg, as well as pleasant hill at 85 degrees mid 70s in san rafael, oh. it's the third game of this series against the dreaded dodgers. logan webb on the mound for the good guys first pitch at six 4560 degrees. a bit of a breeze. west southwest at 1718. you know the drill. you got to have a jacket heading out to the ballpark and go giants. here we go with your extended forecast. we're talking about again either side of 80 degrees for the most part for the next several days

with a little modest cool down on sunday. but dave and pam two weekends in a row with completely dry conditions. >> looks like it. all right, roberta, time is 552. >> it better learning experience since they're listening to someone their age. >> students teaching each other. coming up next at 6:00, we'll take you to a school in santa clara to see an experiment. it's leading to higher test scores and fewer students who are absent. >> and the oakland ballers season starts in one week. we'll tell you where fans can watch the team ver

gambling debts, his lawyer said the not guilty plea was a procedural move, but he is expected to plead guilty at a later date. >> just respectful and quiet and sort of closed in on himself. a bit. he didn't have any kind of arm gestures, hand gestures, very, very quiet. hands were clasped in front of him. >> the 19,000 bets, the recordings were, he had impersonated mr. ohtani between mr. mizuhara and the bookie, in this case, only after being presented with that mountain of evidence. mr. mizuhara ultimately decided it was in his interest to plead guilty. now federal prosecutors say the charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 33 years. >> the oakland ballers are getting ready for its season opener in about one week. >> the ballers will play the montana glacier range riders, the athletic club in oakland will host a watch party for the game starting at 6:00 tuesday night. the ballers will be here in oakland on june 4th for their

been planning and training for this swim for five years. she says one challenge is definitely how cold the water is. >> each mile, the temperature kept dropping and dropping and dropping, which i was prepared for. i wasn't prepared for the 43 degree water, but i was prepared for higher 40s to make the swim official. >> gubser could not touch a boat on her journey, but her team who followed her on a boat gave her some hot chocolate and poured warm water on her throughout that swim. >> well, we are starting off the morning with problems out on the roads for commuters driving towards the bay bridge. we'll tell you about the cleanup underway after a big rig flipped over on its side. >> plus, they say they have your back until stuff happens and then now they're out the door. >> well, people living in the santa cruz mountains giving their elected officials an earful after they were left without homeowner's insurance.

we'll tell you, with some of the homeowners say they're now being forced to do from ktvu, fox two news, this is mornings on two. well good morning to you and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it is wednesday may 15th middle of the week middle of the month. and it's been pretty nice. middle of the road i guess for weather. let's check in with roberta gonzalez. >> so. well said. >> it's not too hot. not too cold. it's pretty nice. yeah it's that's true. >> our temperatures have been averaging just slightly above normal, going up and down just by a couple of degrees. and that's about it. today your temperature span will be 63 to 85 degrees. kick starting your wednesday morning with low clouds and even some patchy fog along the seashore all the way inland by a good 50 miles to the east and to the north, and also towards the santa clara valley. a little hint of some coastal clearing today. otherwise sunshine everywhere. right now with the deck cloudiness, we are

into the 50s, from 50 in santa rosa to a pair of fives in san jose through cupertino and in campbell. later today we will stream our numbers from 63 to 85 degrees and sal castaneda. next time in i am in that batter's box, i'm going to talk about the pollen report, because everybody in the world except for you suffered from allergies. >> oh, i do, you do, i do for some reason they're not bad, right now. but, you know, i don't want to jinx myself sometimes. i'm like, sometimes they sound like i have cotton shoved up my nose because of allergies. so it is what it is. i just kind of get used to it. all right. good morning everyone. let's go out and take a look at the commute here in concord westbound for or heading to it from pittsburg. we have some slow traffic there and eastbound 24 getting up to saint stephen's are still clearing out some of the equipment they use for overnight paving work. westbound 24 is open. they're taking a little longer eastbound, so you are going to

see a slowdown in orinda because of the equipment that's getting off the freeway. for the most part, we have a decent commute, but caltrans crews are still working to remove an overturned big rig that's stalling traffic from the east bay to san francisco. this vehicle is off the westbound interstate 80 just before the bay bridge toll plaza. ktvu james torres is live near the scene. and, james, what do you see? >> well, sal, the effort is underway to try to get that big rig out of here. i'm not sure if it's directly affecting some traffic. we are just a few minutes after 6:00 this morning, so this is at the time where traffic is going to start to get a little heavier. metering lights are on at the bay bridge toll plaza, and we're starting to see a little bit of a backup here. but where the actual big rig is, that's off of i-80, that's on the ramp here, coming off of, that, gosh, i just lost my thought there for a second. it's the off ramp, coming off of 80, that last exit just before the bay bridge toll plaza. if

you're heading into san francisco out of oakland here. so it's not on the actual freeway here, but they do have that off ramp, shut down at this point here. you can see the two tow trucks that are just on either side of the big rig. it is still on its side at this point. you can see part of it that is just poking up above the walls. the concrete walls of the overpass. it's carrying about 73,000 pounds of rice. doesn't sound like any of that actually spilled onto the freeway. there's no fuel leak or any oil leak either. no hazmat crews on the scene here. so for the most part, it's pretty clean. at least as clean as an overturned big rig could be. the challenge is, of course, is getting that very heavy truck back up on its wheels and moving it out of the way. they usually require a couple tow trucks to do that. you see the crane that is up in the air right now with the cables connected to the truck. the effort is underway to try to get that out of the way, of course, the off ramp there still shut down at this point. the traffic here from the bay bridge

toll plaza extending far back just a little bit here, metering lights are still on. so if you are making your way to san francisco from the city of oakland, it's going to take you a couple minutes, probably a couple minutes longer than what you're normally used to at this time of the hour. chp says they're still not sure about how much longer it's going to take them to actually clear all of this out of the way. but of course, once we get word of that, we will let you know. reporting live this morning i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right james thank you. time now 604. happening now a group of educators, students and parents, they're about to hit the road traveling from san jose to the state capitol in sacramento. now, these are live pictures. we're out there right now watching. this is an annual trip we're talking about organized by state senator dave cortez. and the goal is to talk to lawmakers about improving schools statewide. students will also learn more about the legislative process and what it takes to pass a bill. now, not a whole lot going on, but they are

moving, getting ready. this by the way, is the 21st bus trip for educators in. >> people in the santa cruz mountains are voicing their concerns over being left without homeowner's insurance after several major companies decided to drop coverage. now, last night, they met in a packed auditorium, confronting cal fire, local officials and even the state's department of insurance. the big question what should they do if their insurance company dropped them? >> my insurance has been canceled. it will be canceled in august, and i've been told i can only go on to the cal fare plan and then get supplemental and given what i've heard, i expect that insurance to probably triple get out there and start shopping for coverage. you really have to search the entire market, but that means contacting multiple agents before you give up and settle for a fare plan. >> an independent insurance agent says the price of insuring a home could be two and a half

to three and a half times more expensive than it was just five years ago. some homeowners in the area say they're trying to sell their house now because they can't afford the rising costs. >> our time now. 605 well, after weeks of listening to racist and anti semitic remarks, the palo alto city council voted to ban public comment by way of zoom. unfortunate first amendment requires us to give these vile comments a space to express their views, and so we're unable to cut them off before their time is through. >> no matter now. >> palo alto mayor greer stone said that during monday night's meeting, after several people called in using racial slurs targeting the jewish muslim and black communities at the suggestion of the vice mayor. council members later voted to ban the public's ability to make a general comment by way of zoom. the decision was not unanimous. >> the want to show up here in person and do it, you know that's their right, but i think these technological advancements

have had some unintended consequences. >> i do have concerns that, we're just keeping excluding a group of people from our community that are not going to be able to comment, this way. >> now, the public will still be able to comment by way of zoom on specific agenda items, but not for general comment. >> alameda county district attorney pamela price has scheduled a news conference this morning to discuss the decision by the county's board of supervisors to combine her recall election with the november 5th general election. now that's what price's supporters wanted. backers of the recall wanted the election to be held sooner. the registrar of voters said a special election this summer would have cost the county 15 to $20 million, while combining the recall with the november general election will cost about $4 million. well, this afternoon, protesters at san francisco state university will announce that they have reached an

agreement with the school. now, their student protest started more than two weeks ago. >> now, the protesters say san francisco state has agreed to divest from weapons and manufacturers, while also creating ways to develop new screening procedures to prevent making investments in companies that violate human rights. later today, several demonstrators will move from the uc berkeley campus to uc merced, where the regents will be meeting during the next two days. >> people. protesters took down their encampment at berkeley after the school chancellor agreed to a comprehensive examination of university investments and to a, quote, socially responsible investment strategy under the agreement, the uc berkeley foundation will review all investments and hear community concerns about companies that may be linked to weapons manufacturing, mass incarceration and surveillance industries. however, they did not commit to making any changes to investments. >> a lot of this is bigger than

uc berkeley, uc berkeley is a small component, a small a small gear. and, you know, you know, where the power is really situated in the state of california, the uc regents, the state of california, and the nation as a whole. >> child protesters planned a big rally today at uc merced, where they are demanding the entire uc system divest from companies that support israel. the battle over public access to martins beach and san mateo county is headed back to court. a superior court judge ruled that a lawsuit filed by the california state lands commission can move forward. now, the billionaire venture capitalist bought the land next to martins beach in 2008 and put it up a locked gate on the road leading down to the beach. he has fought several lawsuits to keep the property private. the lands commission is seeking a court order barring him from blocking the road to the beach. >> time is 609 and we do have slowing and many of these spots on highway four, for example, if

you're driving in contra costa county, you can see it's slowed through baypoint and pittsburgh and on 80 it's slow in richmond, and there's no big backup at the richmond bridge. just yet. it'll probably come, but we don't see a big one. bay bridge does have a backup. the ramp that takes you off of 80 back toward the port of oakland is blocked. so that's mainly going to affect truckers the way it might affect 880, even though it's not blocking is people may be slowing down to take a look at what's going on. we'll see though we keep watching that ramp at 610. let's go back to the desk. we really have to look at who we're building this for. >> the most vulnerable. our senior farm workers. >> a win for the farm working community in half moon bay, an overnight vote will now allow a housing development to break ground. we'll tell you why that decision is generating mixed feelings, and a high school senior in the east bay is living the american dream. >> his incredible academic accomplishment after his family moved here to the united states

half moon bay for senior farm workers. there ktvu andre seniors in the studio. now to tell us how this proposal has divided the community. well dave, dozens of people attended the planning commission meeting in half moon bay last night. >> the vote did not come out until after midnight. the proposal is for 40 unit, five

story apartment complex for low income senior farm workers in downtown half moon bay. some people at the meeting expressed concern over the size of the project, loss of parking and added congestion. >> we have way too much going on down here. we have schools, churches, boys and girls club down here. it's just not the right space for that. >> everybody has a car. this is a car dependent community and they're going to have to drive around looking for a parking. >> last year's mass shooting at two farms in half moon bay exposed the poor living conditions of farm workers. city leaders say they would build new housing for farm workers. supporters of the project say they have been met with a series of delays. and last week, governor newsom urged the city to move forward with the project . >> well, there's always reasons not to build something somewhere people will always find that reason, but we really have to look at who we're building this for. the most vulnerable are senior farm workers that have

dedicated their lives and their physical health to us, and we have an obligation to put the city on the best legal footing and make sure that we follow the law. >> as the governor has asked us, the planning commission approved the project with a vote of 4 to 1. >> however, the commission is recommending a reduction in the building height. pam >> thank you. andre. union workers say the city of oakland has failed to collect millions of dollars in tax revenue. this comes at a time when the city faces a $360 million budget deficit. now, city workers held a symbolic $34 million check during a press conference outside city hall, the union members say collection of the tax money could prevent potential service cuts, including the closure of fire stations, along with improving 911 response times. they want the city held responsible. the mayor has previously said that the city can close its deficit without cuts to services. >> our time is 615, two people in custody now after a chase in san francisco ended in a

dramatic crash yesterday morning, police rushed to reports of a mugging just north of golden gate park. the police called off the chase out of concern about the safety of people in that area. the suspects kept speeding down cabrillo street before crashing into another car and then crashing into an apartment building. >> it's an act of god that there was nobody standing on this corner when this car came through this kind of stuff doesn't happen too often in this neighborhood. >> it's pretty quiet out here most of the time. >> now, the two suspects eventually were arrested. the man who lives in that building is displaced for now, until repairs are made. >> highway one through big sur is expected to reopen friday. the stretch near rocky creek bridge, south of the carmel highlands, was closed last month due to damage by storms. caltrans crews hope to reopen it by memorial day weekend. earlier this month, the governor signed a state of emergency proclamation to secure $100 million in federal funding to repair the road.

>> our time now is 616. well, today people in santa rosa can hop aboard a new trolley. it takes you from railroad square to courthouse square. it's an electric trolley. it's free for every rider, and it runs wednesday to sunday at a variety of times. for now, this trolley is part of a pilot program. it will continue through september 29th. the city is looking at ways to make travel easier for people in the downtown area. and by the way, the first ride today is at five and oakland high school is getting ready to graduate after being accepted to 120 colleges and universities, the high school senior immigrated to the united states from uganda just five years ago, he told ktvu. >> navigating the cultural differences between the two countries is a challenge. the 18 year old enjoys singing and plans to major in music and minor in global studies at cal next year. his dad graduated from uc berkeley but says he did not influence his son's decision. >> i gave him encouragement to

follow his dreams, not not go to berkeley specifically. i feel very lucky that, i was well prepared and i had wonderful guidance counselors and parents that were supportive of this whole process. >> now he's scheduled to graduate next month from head-royce, a private school in oakland with a 3.94 gpa. >> go bears. all right, let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see the traffic is backed up all the way out to the macarthur maze. from our aa traffic camera. you will see that the traffic on 880 is a little bit slow. i'm not really sure that that connector ramp from 80 back to the port of oakland is really having much of an effect on the traffic, since it is so slow. anyway. yeah people can see what's going on, but it is having not much of an effect now. i do see, look at this. what is going on here? look at all the chp officers hanging out here. we'll get to the bottom of that. what are they doing, we'll see. all

right. this is a look at westbound 92. heading out to the high rise of the san mateo bridge. that looks okay with no major issues. south bay commute is off to a good start at 618. roberta. >> yes? do you drink coffee? decaf. if i do decaf. >> okay. that answers a lot of questions. >> okay. why do you ask? >> well, i was just asking how people make their coffee. some people are gourmets, others just drink whatever is available. >> yeah. decaf or hot chocolate? oh, i'm a big tea drinker. got it? yeah. huge tea drinker. thanks, hal. good morning everybody. you might want to get something warm and cozy to drink this morning because this is what it looks like as you are getting ready to head out the door. that marine layer has dropped down to 500ft, obscuring the tip top of the towers of the golden gate bridge, which stands 725ft. so how's the visibility doing at this hour? we are down

to three miles in half moon bay, three miles to the north, and santa rosa. and this marine layer has surged inland a good 50 miles visibility under ten miles right now in throughout the tri-valley. we do have may gray to kick start your wednesday morning. and then it will clear out and pan out to be a tad warmer than yesterday just by a couple of degrees. by thursday we go down a couple of degrees and then by the weekend it's a very quiet weather pattern with temperatures more seasonal. right now we are in the 50s from santa rosa all the way into out saratoga and los gatos. mid 50s. pretty common around redwood city and redwood shores. winds are beginning to come down ever so gently and throughout the fairfield area. winds are slide throughout most areas, but enough to usher the pollen around again. it's the oak tree and the mulberry tree and the walnut tree. pollen count is now beginning to surge in a upward direction. grasses come into play as well. so we have a trough that is to the north of us. that's just been

enhancing our marine layer. when you see the blue specks, that's a little bit of condensation in the form of drizzle. clouds retreat back to the coast and hang tight all day long. otherwise lots of sunshine. we see the clouds push back onshore tonight and thicken up. so that brings the temperatures down for thursday. but how about today? 80 santa rosa, mid 70 vallejo and around the peninsula 85 degrees. that will be our outside number. inland we have that five day forecast dave pam that's coming up. >> thank you. roberta a warning for parents about the repercussions if their kids are seen using a toy gun in public and a measure that could ban the so-called factory farms in sonoma county will now move on to t ballot

link to respiratory illnesses, including childhood asthma. the bill now heads to the state senate. palo alto has approved $63 million for a desalination plant. it will serve palo alto, mountain view, los altos and stanford university. the desalination process will not make the water safe for drinking, but it will be suitable for irrigation and industrial uses. police in vacaville are warning parents about an increase in reports of kids shooting toy guns in schools and public parts. officers say sometimes it can be hard to tell if the kids have a real weapon or a fake one, which can be dangerous in many cases. the fake firearms are clearly colored and marked as a toy gun, but sometimes they can be painted black and more difficult to identify. why? >> i would hate to see a situation arise where somebody mistook it for a real gun, and it could be an officer or somebody with a concealed carry permit that felt they needed to defend themselves. >> it's really concerning, and i don't think i would want to be

in the park with somebody with a bb gun or. >> officers say those seeing, using or discharging fake firearms could face penalties. san francisco's aging water and sewage system is getting an upgrade. since 2005, the city's public utilities commission has been working on a $4.8 billion improvement project so far, three reservoirs have been completed. two others will soon be finished and repairs to another will begin later this year. the goal of the project is to secure and protect the city's water supply in an emergency, such as an earthquake, boosting voter engagement. the new poll showing the role and top issues among a key electorate here in california and in those battleground states, and from concord to london, england. the trip a high school football team will make next season. we're going to hear from de la salle's football coach about the school. they'll be playing

black coffee. strong and good. good, good morning everyone. grab that cup of coffee to go. if you're on highway four, it's a little bit slower than usual from antioch, all the way out to the bay point area. this has become kind of a trend for some reason, and not a trend i like. 242 is slow as well. we also have some more slow traffic at the bay bridge. it's backed up all the way out to the macarthur maze and the metering lights are on. san mateo bridge looks good as you head from hayward to the peninsula. 632 let's get back to the desk. >> thank you. sal alameda county supervisors have set a date for the recall election of district attorney pamela price and voters during the november elections will decide whether to remove pamela price from office. >> ktvu is ali rasmus here? now to explain the reasons for that, and how both supporters and critics are responding. good morning ali. >> good morning dave. supporters of district attorney pamela price like the idea of this recall being held during the

general election in november. it is a presidential election, of course, and those types of elections tend to have higher voter turnout. the da's supporters believe that higher turnout will work out in her favor to help her stay in office. now, there were other possible dates for the recall election in august and september , but ultimately, the alameda county board of supervisors decided that cost was a big factor. the registrar of voters told county leaders it would cost anywhere from 15 to $20 million to stage a recall election this summer. but if they combined it with the general election in november, it would only cost $4 million. the alameda county board of supervisors approved that november 5th election date at its meeting last night. it came after two hours of public comment for and against the recall, and more than 100 people had signed up to speak. >> da price should not face voters again until she nears the end of her first term. this is what voters expect when we elect our representatives. recall should be a last resort. >> there are so many businesses that are closing down because

they are. the da is not prosecuting these criminals now in april, the alameda county registrar of voters certified recall supporters had gathered enough signatures to qualify for a recall election. >> once that certification happens, there are strict timelines the county has to follow to set an election date. by state law, it has to be held a maximum of 180 days. after that, certification. now, later today, district attorney pamela price is scheduled to speak about her recall election now that the november 5th date for it is set, there is a possibility there could be some sort of legal challenges to the election, recall election and the process. we hope to find out more later this morning. dave and pam, back to you. >> all right, ali, thank you. time now. 6.34 san francisco mayor london breed says she will not take part in a mayoral debate set for monday. in a statement, her campaign said there are reports of, quote, troubling connections between the campaign of candidate mark farrell and the debate organizers. together, s.f.

pilgrimage to mar a lago. now they're making the pilgrimage to lower manhattan and that's smart. >> now, the defense for trump is expected to begin calling their witnesses next week. and it's still not clear if trump himself will take the witness stand. >> time is 637. we do have slow traffic. that's getting a little better from antioch over to concord, but it is a little slower and 680 is okay. but 242 is slow. we do have some slowing on 80 and western contra costa county through richmond. and then when you get to the bay bridge, normal backup all the way out to the maze, which is normal for this time. san mateo bridge looks okay. let's check in on the south bay commute. still looking pretty good. so in the 6:00 hour is when people who don't want traffic drive. at least right now it looks good getting into sunnyvale, palo alto and cupertino. 638 let's talk about today's weather. and here's roberta, sal, did you make it up to tahoe this winter?

be westerly. that's an onshore push to the southwest. and again, that wind does usher around the pollen. it's the oak of the mulberry tree. count on the high side. the oak tree count is now coming up higher and the walnut tree is coming into play. so we have this trough up here. and what this has been doing is diverting all of its energy up and around our area of high pressure. and result is, is that we are going to see dry weather patterns slightly warmer than yesterday as we see the clouds retreat a little bit sooner. meanwhile, around the state, 91 degrees at the state capitol today, backing through stockton and merced. modesto as well socked in in san diego. we will pinpoint your neighborhood forecasts and the temperatures will be displayed that's coming up in under ten minutes. >> all right. thank you. roberta new this morning, bay area football powerhouse de la salle high school will play a game in england next season. ktvu was allowed at the school to record
