hundredths on the drizzle, more of a northwest or a westerly little, little lows right here. hold on. i'll melt down right there. this is right off of point reyes. a little low right there. coastal eddy. and that is increasing that onshore breeze. so and the water temps at least point reyes and point arena came down and one of the monterey buoys came down. san francisco buoys still 55, but the water's cold enough and it doesn't take much. and if you've noticed, april may have favored fog and travis west to 21. coming down a little bit. but the low clouds have made it all the way out there, usually at least nearby 59 mount veeder. they do have a northerly breeze, but oakland hills 47 southwest 17 boulder creek also at a cool 47. just too much gray out there. 40s and 50s on the temps. all 50s here. but we are running cooler. and take your pick. livermore minus one to san carlos minus four, novato minus four, and petaluma is five degrees cooler than yesterday at this time. so if it feels cooler to you, it is.

think the fog will burn off as soon today as it did yesterday for the peninsula and san jose, and the water temps have come down for a few point arena point rays and one of the monterey buoys. you get more of a west northwest breeze or direction, and that does it onshore for almost everyone. even atlas peak has a west wind out to pittsburgh, davis point, richmond, san francisco, oakland, berkeley hills and there's just a lot of gray out there. the may gray 50s on the temps here for most, but we are running about 1 to 5 degrees cooler than yesterday at this time. petaluma minus five and there are a few 40s. occidental 47, bodega bay 48. sebastopol 49. novato is now 49. low 50s, though for many. 5051 richmond, 51 even up to cloverdale and healdsburg. so there's some cool temps. these are much cooler than yesterday. we had mid 50s to upper 50s. it's as gray as far as you can see, that's for sure. and i think it's going to be slow to burn off today and temperatures will struggle. i think we'll see 5060s by the water and only 70s inland.

neighbors are watching. one crime took place earlier this week on monday afternoon, and it was captured on surveillance camera two. it shows two masked men, burglars running out of a home. you see it here? one man holding a pillowcase. the victim says was filled with jewelry that had been stolen from her bedroom. that homeowner says she is both scared and angry. >> to just bust in my home and take my things like it's no problem. it's terrifying. it's frustrating. >> well, the people living on reinhardt drive say all three break-ins have been between the hours of noon and four, and they say these bold thieves don't seem to care that anyone can see them breaking into those homes. one neighbor says he screamed at them while they were driving away. >> so they were, you know, certainly not put off by somebody seeing them commit a crime. it seems like this was kind of a normal practice for them. >> neighbors say they have taken

a photo of the thieves car. it's a black bmw sedan. the people living on this street suspect their home's close proximity to highways 13 and 580 make them an attractive target for thieves. looking for a quick getaway? we've reached out to the oakland police department. officers would only confirm that there have been three recent home break ins on that block. dave. >> all right, andre, thank you. time now, 612. well, the homeless count for san francisco was released. the numbers are showing some mixed results. the city's point in time count shows homelessness in san francisco increased by 7% between 2022 and 2024. also, more than 8300 people are experiencing homelessness in san francisco, according to that report. at the same time, city leaders are proud to point out the number of people living on the streets in tents or in vehicles is going down. the number of unsheltered homeless went down by 1% since 2022, and by 16% when you

compare it to 2019. almost half of the city's homeless population right now is sheltered. now the city report points out that youth homelessness has dropped by 9. however, the number of families that are homeless went up by 94% since 2022 to 437 families. the city also found that its chronically homeless population went up by 9. well, then 2900 people have been identified now as being chronically homeless. >> san francisco also says its pilot homeless outreach program has connected thousands of people with help in its first year. the city says the homeless engagement assistance response team, called hart for short, has responded to nearly 14,000 calls, including 80% of calls to three, one, 1 or 9 one one involving unhoused people and 70% of calls related to sidewalk and street encampments. the city

think this is like a cool event. we love helping local businesses and we really want to just introduce our product to the local customer base as well. >> i do support the community a lot. i'm out here from from my city more, more so. and you know, i love, you know, love the people, love seeing, you know, the community coming together. >> now, the city of san jose is teaming up with a community group called the urban vibrancy institute to bring more attention to small businesses. 65 vendors are due to take part in this year's block parties in downtown livermore comes alive this weekend for one of the longest running festivals in the east bay. >> that's nice. yeah. the livermore downtown street fest is celebrating its 32nd year. the two day event features live music, rows of vendors, arts and crafts, and beer and wine tasting lounges. also back by popular demand, the collectible street fest wine glass, the

tradition was replaced with recyclable cups during the pandemic. >> time now is 616, and right now we've been looking at the south bay. we don't see any sign of any slow traffic there, which is nice. don't get me wrong, i don't i don't really want anything to do. i just want to be sitting around here not talking about much. however, there is a car fire or there was a car fire on the san mateo bridge. you can see the fire department there on the left. if you're driving, let's say from foster city over to hayward, there is going to be a momentary slowdown. it does look like they've momentarily stopped traffic there. you see, no one is getting by. and i think they're just waiting. they're just letting the emergency vehicles leave the scene. so i do think that we are going to be in better shape in just a little bit. let's talk about the bay bridges a little bit more of a backup here, although it is not the normal backup. still, there is one at the toll plaza. you can see via our air traffic camera. 617 let's talk about today's weather. >> and here, steve, i don't want to do much either, sal, but i

have to. you know what i mean? what's gotta jump right into it? there you go. all right. water temps cooled down from yesterday. point rays down two. san francisco bowie down one and one of the monterey bowie's also cooled off. why because the wind turned more westerly northwesterly versus southerly yesterday. and that makes a big difference. onshore breeze san francisco davis point pittsburgh's turned northerly, but it's more of a westerly breeze for many. even most locations have an onshore breeze. travis has actually come down a little bit. they were up to 35, but low clouds made it all the way out. well, out into the sacramento valley. so to make it simple terms, we're done. we're just not going to warm up that much when the low clouds make it that far. we are running cooler this morning. 50s, temps, few 40s, but anywhere from 1 to 5 degrees cooler. with the napa airport and petaluma leading the way. five degrees cooler this morning than yesterday. at this time, a lot of 50s, low 50s. i mean, el sobrante is 51. pinole kensington's 50 orinda's 51 north dublin, clayton 49 cool degrees. those are much cooler

than yesterday, that's for sure. just too much gray. i would expect that to continue tonight into saturday. a series of systems will kind of carve themselves out over the west. the high is too far offshore, can't really do too much morning fog. it's still warm, well inland. but i mean for my forecast zone, big fog, bank, windy and cooler going into the weekend. drizzle looks to be likely here. not only this morning. we've tilden parks at about a 10th of an inch of drizzle. the last 24 hours. i would think more so tonight into tomorrow. the only thing i'll mention if you're going to the mountains early next week could be some thunderstorm activity. but for us, a quiet, cool pattern for many. >> all right. sounds nice. thank you steve. new information on bullying claims by an antioch school district employee. the new findings in an investigation into the case, and terrifying moments for a family in their own backyard. a cougar came within feet of a little girl and her mom. we're going to show you the path of the big cat. as it was all caught on camera.

have rolled across a pier built by the us. today's shipment is the first in an operation that american military officials say could handle up to 150 truckloads a day. meanwhile, in washington, d.c. house republicans voted to pass a bill

to reverse president biden's freeze on sending a shipment of weapons to israel as it plans to invade the southern gaza city of rafah. democrats are calling the bill a political stunt by republicans, as president biden defies the will of congress with his use of executive privilege, he is brazenly doing so by withholding congressionally mandated aid. >> everything it calls for the administration is already doing. and it is just yet another example of the republicans using israel and anti-semitism for their own political purposes. >> every day you can say you made the world truly a better. >> senate majority leader chuck schumer says the senate will not take up the legislation, and the white house has already said president biden would veto the bill if it makes it to his desk at the state capitol. the senate and assembly appropriations committees sifted through more than 1000 bills. they blocked many of them because of california's budget crunch. now they passed bills that attempt to crack down on retail theft

and a proposed constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to clean air, clean water and the environment. however, the committees blocked several high profile proposals, including one that was a step toward the legalization of psychedelics and another that was an attempt to establish a single payer health care system in california. >> i think it's no secret where the budget is today. you know, we have an obligation to balance the budget here in california. we can't go into debt. so we have to be very judicious with the budget. i mean, we definitely there were bills that i have been big supporters of in years past, that it's just a challenging budget time. and so we needed to be responsible responsible with taxpayers money, so that's why we had to make some tough calls today. >> just last week, governor newsom unveiled his proposed spending plan to address the budget deficit, estimated at $56 billion over the next two years. now, one bill that did pass an important hurdle will require the state to issue a formal

apology for slavery. the bill requires the state to apologize for its role in instituting slave laws and discriminatory practices. the bill is part of a package of measures introduced back in february, meant to bring reparations to descendants of people who were enslaved. it now heads to the state senate, a bill that would give local governments more control over autonomous vehicles in california is one step closer to becoming law. the oversight for autonomous vehicle services bill advanced out of the senate appropriations committee. next up, the full senate. now, if approved, it would allow cities and counties to set their own guidelines for autonomous vehicles instead of the state regulating them. the california high speed rail project is moving along most of the 500 mile project connecting san francisco to los angeles has now received environmental clearance. the rail authority reports. the central valley is the building block of the system , and significant progress is being made in that region. the authority says. construction is well underway on the merced to

bakersfield stretch, but still years away from service to begin . officials say the project is on pace, though, to meet its goal to complete the central valley section by early 2030. all right, this is a story. you have to see the video in washington, a home security video caught a cougar coming in within feet of a family while chasing their pets in their backyard. take a look. a giant cougar jumps out of a hiding place to chase the family's cat across the yard. as the cougar chases the family's pet, it comes within feet of a mother, daughter and their dog. the cougar pauses, chasing the cat, and glances at the family. the family and its pets did escape, and the big cat took off. shortly after that. prosecutors getting close to resting their case against former president donald trump. he has the day off today, but the trial resumes on monday. we have some of the takeaways from a grueling day in the courtroom.

cool saturday as well. it might take a while. fog slowly burns back to the coast for some, but 60s and 70s? well, sometimes the morning commute can be notorious, but maybe you're one of the lucky ones. unless you're on. i think it's eastbound san mateo bridge. >> yeah, but looks like they've just turned traffic loose there, steve. >> oh, i like that. >> yes. eastbound 92. if i were there, i'd want you to turn me loose. eastbound 92, heading out, they just opened up all the lanes. there was a car fire. fire has long been out, but the fire department and the tow trucks were there and no one was injured. westbound 92, traffic is going to be busy. if you're driving to the bay bridge toll plaza. triple a traffic camera showing about a 5 to 10 minute delay. 631 let's go back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. sal a lot of people in and around big sur are certainly happy. as repairs on highway one are now complete. eight days ahead of schedule. >> the roads reopening this morning after being closed more than six weeks because of the massive storms we had in march.

ktvu tori gaines already out there in monterey county to tell us more about this. tori, good morning. >> good morning dave. now what happened to this highway is what they're calling a slip out. but the community is thrilled because repairs are completed today. you may see a few cars pop around the corner behind me because. because they've just opened up highway one and people are ready to make their way through. now one direction convoys were scheduled as a temporary solution when a big storm took out a large chunk of this highway in that slip out. they were also intended only for essential workers and local residents. now, authorities aim to keep the stress on the roadway to a minimum as repairs were underway some days in april, they canceled the convoys altogether due to wet weather, but crews began working around the clock in mid-april to get the roadway repaired. now, construction on this roadway was tricky business, as you can see in the picture here, a crane held repair crews suspended in a basket over the edge of the

roadway, more than 170ft above the ocean, something that could only be done in very specific weather conditions, namely with winds less than 25mph. now, governor gassen, excuse me, governor gavin newsom visited the site earlier this month when he signed an emergency proclamation which would help secure $100 million in federal funding for repairs across the state due to recent storms. newsom described the repairs and celebrated the work being completed, saying, quote, thanks to the diligent efforts, traffic will resume eight days ahead of schedule, bringing relief and a sense of normalcy back to one of california's most iconic coastal communities. now, earlier this morning, we spoke with a gentleman from caltrans. here's what he had to say about about the repairs and the reopening of the roadway, when even in determining the schedule for convoys, we had, you know, families say, hey, we need a time where we can take our kids to school. >> and that it was really even though this is an international destination, it comes down to families and residents who live

here. this is their main street, this is their central avenue. this is the way they they have their livelihood. and we're most happy to return this highway back to them. >> now, these repairs, though extensive, are meant to be temporary. we're not expected to see more repairs. there's currently a design phase in order for permanent repairs here of the roadway, and that will be expected to be completed in spring of 2025. live in monterey county tori gaines, ktvu, fox two news okay, tori, thank you. >> there will also be a partial closure of southbound interstate 680 in the east bay for a road paving project, but caltrans says three southbound lanes are going to be closed between al costa boulevard and san ramon, and the interstate 580 connector in pleasanton. those lane closures will be starting tonight at 9:00 through 4 a.m. monday morning, and if you're driving in the area, expect delays.

>> well, this morning, the world's top ranked golfer has accused of assaulting a police officer. louisville metro police released a mugshot of scottie scheffler, espn reports. there was a crash near the golf course where this weekend's pga championship is being held in louisville, kentucky. espn says there may have been some type of misunderstanding. scheffler was driving past a police checkpoint to get into the country club, they report say he refused to stop. when he did stop, an officer shoved him against the car. he was handcuffed. a police report lists charges of second degree assault, criminal mischief and reckless driving. now, scheffler was not part of the car crash that delayed today's start of the pga championship. police released him. we hear he's back on the course. scheffler, who is tied for 12th after the first round, won the masters tournament in april. >> our time is now 636, former

president donald trump has the day off from his new york trial today. he'll be attending his son's high school graduation yesterday in court, trump's defense lawyers tried to discredit the testimony of his former attorney, michael cohen. they pointed out several instances where cohen had lied in the past. >> the jury is going to hear an instruction that very likely that if a witness lies on any aspect, you really have the right to disregard every aspect of the testimony. >> now, the trial for donald trump resumes monday. prosecutors are expected to rest their case, then it will be the turn of the defense to call witnesses. time now. 636 here at home, a woman is in jail facing charges of felony assault. after what police are calling an unprovoked attack at a store in san francisco. now take a look at surveillance video showing the victim walking into the kansas food market in the potrero hill neighborhood

tuesday afternoon. moments later, another woman comes in and starts hitting the woman with a bag containing a bottle of whiskey. the attack continues until the shop clerk chases the attacker away. >> i think the video tells one part of the story, but you know this is a real person with a real history and the video doesn't share with that. history is now. >> police arrested 26 year old jessica blasi of oakland shortly after the attack. she was in court yesterday. her lawyer says she's dealing with serious mental health problems. >> an investigation is underway after a home in texas went up in flames. fire officials say a neighbor called and reported the home was hit by lightning. a family of ten lives in that home, but fortunately, no one was home at the time of the fire. the grandmother was having a medical procedure the morning of the fire, everything in our house got damaged except for the

bible. >> we just thank god that we're still here, that we're alive. this is material things you know, and we can get that back. >> neighbors started a go fund me, and they are helping the family pay for hotel rooms. all that. >> i'm going to go. i need something to show, though. so we do have drizzle here. a lot of it being reported here. and i think there will be more tonight. tomorrow. tilden park with almost a 10th of an inch. bonny doon .04. davenport 0.03. santa rosa 0.02. the wind has turned a little more westerly. let's see this little low right here. right there off a point. ray's hanging out a point. rays that has increased that onshore push well out low clouds have made it all the way to sacramento. how about that? water temps came down a little bit. point raised san francisco bowie came down to 1 degrees point. arena is still 51 and one of the monterey bowie's also dropped one degree. so that's cold water. a lot of low clouds in place here. 50s on the tips, a few 40s, but mainly 50s. we

are running a little cooler here compared to yesterday. pacifica 49, montara beach 51, half moon bay 51, woodside 51. after that, it's a lot of mid 50s, but anywhere from 1 to 5 degrees cooler compared to yesterday. at this time. petaluma and napa airport leading the charge there out of the gate at minus five. too much gray and drizzle and with low clouds make it out to fairfield and all the way to sacramento. we're done. just can't get that warm here. so 60s and 70s, morning fog, drizzle, sunny, but temperatures really for the weekend. looks like they will favor a little bit cooler. more than warmer. maybe early next week. we could get a little bump up on the temps. drizzle i think will be with us again tonight into saturday morning, so we're not done with that yet. one interesting item though is the system swings in. could be some thunderstorm activity popping up over the mountains probably monday tuesday of next week. so truckee, kirkwood and mammoth lakes being highlighted there. stratus duo low overcast, gray over the bays, we like to say. and some of that is slow to

retreat. so 5060s by the water 60s 70s inland temperatures near average to below. and i don't think they're changing all that much until maybe early next week. >> just to be able to work here and be able to design and touch something that will one day travel to a new planet is amazing. >> i mean, another honor for nasa to add to its resume is the latest nomination that has nothing to do wit a

traveling more than 4 million will be doing it behind the wheel of their car. >> what are some tips you can give me? you know, to, first of all, to stay safe? the usual keeping your tires, you know, inflated to get you better gas mileage. but also what about gasoline? is that going to be really expensive? and maybe i want to stay closer to home. >> you know, most americans will be driving, as we mentioned, and that means they're going to be going to the pump and filling up. we don't expect a tremendously large hike in gas prices between now and memorial day, but you might see a bump of a few cents per gallon. the interesting thing is we have not seen gas prices affect people's want to travel. those planned road trips for vacations. americans for the past few years have been doing that regardless of the cost of gasoline, and we expect that to continue this year. as for tips, well, we're at a service station right now and we recommend every american. does that trip go to a service station? you mentioned tires, tires, batteries and fluids last year, about 90,000 californians called triple a for help when

they were stuck on the roadside. most of that were dead batteries or blown tires, both of which can get affected as the weather starts to heat up. >> yeah, things like having a good spare, having your tires inflated. one of the things that i know is that unfortunate early memorial day weekend, labor day weekend, some of the bigger holidays, 4th of july associated with some pretty serious wrecks sometimes because maybe some people are getting into crashes. anything you can recommend for drivers to be extra alert out there? >> know that there's a lot of people on the roadways. you're not alone out there and everyone wants to get to their destination safely. you really want to make sure you're taking all the precautions you typically do, but know that you're going to be stuck in traffic. you might be taking some extra time. plan for a longer trip than you usually expect. one route in particular, san francisco to napa. that we're expecting to be about an hour and 40 minute trip on friday. that's going to be the busiest time to travel, but know if you know ahead of time that a

lot of people are going through it with you, give someone some extra space and some extra time. try to avoid wrecks. >> yeah. one last question here, john, the you know, the roads are going to be crowded and all that, but is there some sort of an off peak trip, for example, i would not leave on a thursday or on a friday before memorial day. i would travel at a different time. so any tips on that? >> you know, if you could wait, by all means do that. thursday is the unofficial kickoff to this road tripping season, and really 11:00 in the morning to 7 p.m. that could be your busiest times. the early bird avoids the traffic. as we say, if you can get out before 11:00 in the morning, we really recommend you do that. that's thursday and friday and coming home. if you're coming home on memorial day monday, you're going to want to push that until after 7 p.m, when traffic is the lightest but remote work has made it possible for a lot of people to maybe extend that day into tuesday. so you're going to see this long weekend, maybe get even longer for some john traynor triple a thank you for all that good

information. >> thanks for joining us. >> thanks so much. >> all right. let's go right to the triple a traffic camera here and show you the bay bridge toll plaza. it is backed up heading west. there have been no major problems driving on the bridge itself. san mateo bridge, still a little bit busy. people are gawking at a problem. eastbound. it was a car fire, so there's still a little bit of something to look at there on that span, silicon valley commute has not really filled in much. we've seen a little slowing on 101, and that's about all for now. at 649, what is the weather going to be like this weekend? let's bring steve in. >> it's a lot of pressure, sal. thank you i appreciate that. now. it'll be cool. sal. we're starting that way with a low cloud deck. when the low cloud deck makes it out to sacramento. so i mean, you know and i know that's a big push for mid-may and that's going to end up with temperatures being in the 60s and 70s at best. we're starting off 50s. it is cooler this morning than yesterday by about 2 to 5 degrees. boulder creek felton 51 hollister's down to 52 san martin, santa cruz, aptos.

then mid 50s. there circling the wagons around santa clara, cupertino, saratoga, campbell and san jose. just a lot of gray there, some local drizzle. we've had about a 0.01 to a 10th of an inch. some of the higher elevations low is going to sweep down in dragging across another front here. now it's not that dynamic or anything but morning fog drizzle, sunny, breezy and looks a little cooler going into saturday. maybe even sunday before maybe a possible rebound early next week. but everything is favoring more cool than any heat or anything. and drizzle will be with us nights and mornings traveling. some people do this time of year, and maybe the mountains early next week. could be dealing with some thunderstorm activity as being highlighted here for truckee, kirkwood and mammoth lakes. that's next early next week, probably monday or tuesday. stratus close in place, fog, then sun. but it may take a while for this fog to burn off. well, it was the case yesterday for some not south, but it was north and today i think will be similar. although it does look a little cooler, maybe a little rebound on those temps early next week.

>> all right steve thank you. our time now. 651 nasa was named for the 12th straight year as the best large agency to work for in the federal government, just to be able to work here and be able to design and touch something that will one day travel to a new planet is amazing. >> i mean, it's indescribable about that. >> the title reflects employee satisfaction, satisfaction with the workplace and the overall functioning of the agency. it's 651 google now starting a certification program at san jose city college. it's designed to give students real world experience, preparing them for entry level roles in it support. now, the candidates will go through a competitive application and interview process. the students who are selected will be training at google's campus in sunnyvale. as of the time, the term tiktok. let's see. this looks like fun.

the president of the school board was one of those who accused the school district of not taking action. he issued a statement saying, quote, i will not tolerate an environment where bullies are allowed to run rampant in our school district. i will not be bullied or silenced by any administration official just because i'm calling them out. our time now. 656 dozens of people gathered in san francisco to honor families who recently lost loved ones to violent crime. now, the service ended at san francisco city hall after they marched from a park in the fillmore. the speakers included mother, mothers, fathers and other family members of homicide victims in san francisco. >> everyone has a loved one. everyone has someone that they care for. and when you take a life, it affects everybody, not just one person, everybody. >> now, several city leaders spoke at the memorial service, including san francisco police

think that it would really enhance the department's. >> now, the san jose fire department is not the only one that wants to recruit more women to the workforce. back in march, the san jose police department pledged to increase the number of female recruits by 30% by the year 2030. all right, on a lighter note, the 45th annual boogie music festival kicks off saturday and sunday in downtown campbell this we love this. >> i love this gasia out there in the middle. >> they're dancing. they're almost two dozen bands will rock out on four stages along campbell avenue beginning at 11 a.m. a highlight of the festival will be the best dressed contest contest entrants will get to wear their finest attire from the 70s and 80s. now who has that? i do, by the way, you can
