morning. temperatures are very similar to yesterday morning. we've got 40s and 50s and our winds once again, generally light, even calm over santa rosa and novato. concord good morning to you. a gentle breeze at about six three miles, 3 to 6mph over there. and your temperatures are a few degrees warmer as well. sfo oakland up by three degrees. palo alto one of the cooler spots this morning looking at 48 for you outside your door. low 50s in san francisco. upper 40s for the inner east bay of livermore. so for today we are looking at temperatures again above average by five, even ten degrees or so. still expect for our inland cities to peak tomorrow before we cool it down a better look at today, tomorrow and the week ahead. coming up. >> okay. thank you rosemary. well, thousands of people flocked to san francisco's hippie hill for this weekend for a 420 celebration. and that big crowd gathered despite the fact that the official marijuana event had been canceled this year. so what's it look like? this morning we sent our own

amanda quintana to golden gate park to check out the aftermath. and amanda, how are we looking this day after the not bad, not bad at all. >> claudine. so there is one person cleaning up just one person. and when we got here, there was some scattered trash. oh look, we've got a second person. never mind. we've got a second trash bag out to clean up some of the little things that were left behind. really, it was not that bad when we got here. maybe like some bags, some trash from food, but it's pretty clean. so that is good. now of course the official event did not happen, but there was very much an unofficial event here. the crowd was smaller though than years past when they had live bands, concessions and other entertainment. this year the usual organizer could not get the level of sponsorship needed from the cannabis industry, so they could not have the official event. but attendees said even though it wasn't as lively, that was fine with them.

>> just because they're not an official event doesn't mean that for 20 revelers are going to stay away from hippie hill, so there are plenty of those, but they are all up on the hill itself, which is a spectator area for the volo field day. everybody is sharing the space really nicely, there have been zero problems rouz no arrests, no citations, nobody going to the hospital. >> even though there was no official event, the city's parks and rec department did still coordinate with organizations like fire, police and ems. they said it was just on a smaller scale. so there was still an ambulance here, just in case. there were some resources here, just in case they were needed. but like you heard that last sound bite, there wasn't really anything necessary. it was a smaller group, she said. it was more like if it was just a beautiful day out and a lot of people decided to gather here. so there is a bit of a cleanup going on here. but again, just not bad at all. it is pretty

clean here, which is nice to see live in san francisco. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news, and i'm sure the city of san francisco feels the same way. >> amanda, thank you for that. a big heads up for those commuting tomorrow morning on the golden gate ferry service between san francisco and sausalito, because that remains suspended indefinitely. the ferry service making that announcement on friday night after a routine inspection of the pier in sausalito, uncovered a type of structural problem. it did not reveal the specifics, though, of that problem. so busses have now replaced the ferries that normally run between the two cities until further notice. this will affect both golden gate ferry and the golden blue fleet as well, and caltrans is reminding drivers in the north bay that all westbound lanes of highway 37 between vallejo and the sears point turnoff are still closed due to a major repaving project. at this video, caltrans sent out showing us some of the work that was completed yesterday. that stretch of highway is scheduled

to remain shut down until 4:00 tomorrow morning. westbound lanes will close again next weekend for that same project, and the eastbound direction of highway 37 will be closed during the first two weekends of the month of may. >> well, bart marked the end of an era for its legacy fleet cars. the agency commemorated one last ride in the east bay with a festival at macarthur station that included food trucks, a raffle, activities for kids, and pop up merchandise for sale. ktvu is alice wirtz has more. >> in 1972, these bart cars were shiny and brand new. >> the retirement of bart's legacy rail car fleet, an occasion that signifies the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in our transit journey. >> saturday, the final run for the first fleet ever. >> it is very disappointing that this is going to be their last run. what's very special is that we get to experience these cars for the last time as their final hurrah and their final sendoff.

>> there was a large turnout of legacy employees as well. jay bolt worked for 25 years as an operator and station agent. >> original employee badge. >> he says bart has managed to stay on track with the changes over the years. >> well, the society is changing and the normal 9 to 5 commute is not what it was. so bart's going to have to innovate to keep showing people why bart is the better choice for getting around the bay area, and there have been lots of changes in the past 52 years for bart. >> this operator has been here for over 22 technology. >> you know, and passengers, you know, covid changed a lot as far as the trains are concerned. the technology, state of the art, everything is software driven now, you know, versus analog like it used to be. >> there are six projects that will use the old trains one an airbnb in the sierra, another in east oakland for the oakland scraper bike team. >> our bart car is a place and is going to create safe spaces for youth. we're going to have a space where kids come fix their

bikes. we're going to be teaching them different bike program curriculum, such as bike safety, bike mechanics, bike customization. >> there were lots of items for sale, including original bart train car number signs, $50 a piece, a bit of a small price to pay for a bit of transit history in the bay in oakland. alice wirtz ktvu, fox two news well, los angeles at least 14 people were injured after a tram crashed at the universal studios hollywood theme park. >> it happened on saturday night at one of the boulevards. the los angeles fire department says the tram was taking people to and from their cars in the parking lot. they say 13 people had minor injuries, but one person had more severe injuries. the cause of that crash is still unknown. >> time now is 708. investigators say an alternative method used to track someone trying to get away from law enforcement actually helped lead to an arrest in the east bay. they say. 18 year-old terrence evans was arrested in oakland on

wednesday after taking off in a suspected stolen car in san lorenzo. these are images taken from the air as alameda sheriff's deputies caught up with him. they say deputies managed to dart the vehicle with a tracking device and that allowed investigators to keep up with the vehicle without engaging in a potentially dangerous pursuit. evans has been charged with reckless driving and resisting arrest. the oakland police department is mourning the death of an officer who was critically injured on duty almost six years ago, the department says. >> officer jordan wingate died saturday surrounded by his family, including his father, a retired oakland police captain. his law enforcement career began as an opd cadet back in 2013. he joined the force in 2017 and was named rookie of the year in 2018 by the oakland police officers association. the department says he was known for his hard work and the smile he always had on his face. police say back in 2018, when wingate was only 22, he was responding to a call about a suspicious person near

the port of oakland. he crashed into a car and then careened into a parked big rig. officer wingate is the 55th oakland police officer to die in the line of duty. the department says funeral plans will be shared once they are finalized. >> city officials are calling for an investigation into the zoo in san francisco after a troubling report was published. last week, the chronicle published an investigative piece that uncovered a very close call between a grizzly bear and a zookeeper and the death of a young penguin. city's joint zoo committee, now calling for a full probe into the safety concerns and plans to meet with union representing those zoo employees. coming up, tesla cutting the prices of electric vehicles worldwide. the very latest strategy shift for that company after some weak sales. >> it's about time we did some renovations on here. >> it's going to be hard because i don't go to another library. >> overdue repairs and renovations are coming to oakland's main library, but

all part of a major renovation project as ktvu zac sos reports, a number of regular library goers are not exactly excited about that. news >> it's a bummer. >> i'm sad that they're closing down the library that is temporarily panama, one of the younger patrons of the main branch of the oakland public library. i hope that they make it better. >> that's the plan, at least starting may 27th, the downtown library shutting its doors until at least november for a, quote, critical repairs. >> it's great that they're doing renovations, but six months doordash edmond, who regularly uses the library with her son, not alone in wondering why so long staff say that's the time needed to complete all the work, including a new roof, boiler system and upgrades to the building's electrical heating and cooling systems. >> my thought is it's necessary. i think that this is an older

and authentic library. i've been coming here since i'm 60. i've been coming here since i was like four, and it's about time we did some renovations. >> brian compton also looking forward to some more obvious esthetic improvements in store for the library. new lighting, flooring and ceilings. he just like to see one more area get a little tlc. >> the restrooms aren't horrible conditions. >> well, the work is underway. patrons will have to head to other branches. it's going to be hard. >> my son likes to come here all the time. it's peaceful, relaxing, you know, it's a very good resource for those who are doing studies and doing work projects. >> the library is fun to look at , new books and things that i haven't seen before. >> among the many reasons this library will be sorely missed over the next few months, but perhaps we all just need to look at the project the way panama is. >> sometimes it helps just to close things out for a little bit, just to like help it grow and make it better than it was before. for

>> and that was zac sos reporting. the library is planning to fund the project through a variety of sources, including a $4.2 million grant that came from the state. and if all goes well, libraries should be back open sometime in november. in the meantime, staff says other branch libraries will be operational, including the asian library, just about a half a mile away. >> hourly workers at the volkswagen plant in chattanooga, tennessee, have voted to join the united auto workers union. 73% of the 3600 workers at that plant voted on friday in favor of joining the uaw. it's a major breakthrough in the union's effort to organize workers at plants nationwide, especially in the south, which has a much lower level of union representation. volkswagen says it will await certification of the results, which are expected to come within the next week. and tesla is knocking off $2,000 off the prices of three of its vehicles. the company, which makes the top selling electric vehicle in the us, is cutting the prices of the model y, s and

x. that move comes as sales drop for tesla in its most recent quarter. that's the first time in years tesla also dropped the price of its full self driving software from 12,000 to $8000. >> we have an update now on a story we first brought you last month about an oakland woman's effort to get her car back after it was towed and held for unpaid fees. jade burnett had been living in that car with her nine year old daughter and 17 year old son, who has autism, a pastor with west side missionary baptist church in oakland stepped in and helped her get her car back, and then helped her get another car. and we've learned burnett has now secured housing for her and her kids. she says she is grateful for the help that she's received and is looking forward to a new start. so a nice, happy ending there for sure. >> yes. all right. time now is 717 and let's talk about our weather. if you thought yesterday was nice. rosemary is delivering up a great forecast for you today as well. >> yes, even a little toasty for some. we're talking about low

california? we're going to call for even the possibility of a little bit of wet weather later in the week. but not for today. today's looking good 53 degrees right now in san francisco, upper 40s outside your door. livermore. a little chilly for you there. 51 in san jose. our winds are generally light. if you're going to the giants game today, bring the sunblock 69 degrees expected at game time 105 with the west breeze to 15mph. typically, that sea breeze will cut right through you, but for today might actually feel kind of nice. here's a look into the north bay, where we have 81 degrees of santa rosa. and for our inland communities, east bay, 83 for antioch, san jose. you're going to 81. a look here at the extended forecast, going to drop temperatures along the coast for tomorrow as well as inside the bay. our inland communities may may not feel it. as we know, sometimes it takes a day or two before that. onshore breeze finally moves in all the way through the bay area, and there it is on tuesday. a big drop in temperatures even for our inland

ukraine and other u.s. allies. republican house speaker mike johnson joining many democrats on capitol hill to approve that funding measure. his vote came despite a threat by some far right members of congress to remove him from office. but johnson says the u.s. needs to stand behind its allies at this time of growing global tension. >> three of our primary adversaries, russia and iran and china, are working together and they're being aggressors around the globe. if we turn our backs right now, the consequences could be devastating. >> a statement last night praised the house for passing this foreign aid package. president says democratic and republican leaders work together to approve what he called urgently needed. federal legislation. and east bay congressman eric swalwell has also released a statement to explain why he voted in favor of the package. it says in part here, the u.s. will equip our allies with the support they need to defend themselves.

democrats will never shy away from being a leader on the global stage and do what is necessary to overcome threats to freedom. well that foreign aid package also includes a measure that paves the way for a possible ban on tiktok in the u.s. >> yesterday, the house advanced a bill that would force tiktok's chinese owner to sell the popular social media platform within nine months or face a nationwide ban. supporters of the bill say tiktok poses a threat to u.s. security due to its strong ties to the chinese government, but critics say the proposed ban is a violation of free speech. up next, jewish gathering places and synagogues will get an extra layer of security this week. >> more on the timing of that order and why the fbi is involved. and forget about i just doing your work now. >> it can be you at work. how you can create a digital clone to lighten your workload, and a quick reminder that you can now stream ktvu news using our new tv app. you can watch live

the level of sponsorship needed from the cannabis industry, but attendees said it still was fun. although it wasn't as lively. but that was fine with them just because they're not an official event doesn't mean that 420 revelers are going to stay away from hippie hill, so there are plenty of those, but they are all up on the hill itself, which is a spectator area for the volo field day. >> everybody is sharing the space really nicely, there have been zero problems. no arrests, no citations, nobody going to the hospital. >> even though there was no official event, the city's parks and rec department still coordinated with organizations like fire, police and ems, just on a smaller scale. so there were ambulances here just in case they were needed. but luckily they were not. and the good news is, for the city and for anyone who attended, it does look very clean here, which is good to see in san francisco. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two

news. >> well, opening statements are set to get underway tomorrow morning in the first criminal trial ever of a former us president, 12 jurors and six alternates have now been seated in the criminal trial of donald trump in manhattan. those jurors will decide whether or not trump falsified his business records in an alleged effort to cover up a sex scandal during his 2016 presidential campaign. this historic trial centers on a $130,000 payment. trump's former lawyer, michael cohen, made to star stormy daniels. >> there's no question that the payments occurred. the question is whether or not the payments were illegal and what the prosecutors are going to have to argue here is that the payments that trump made to cohen were not for legal fees, that, in fact, they were to reimburse michael cohen for these hush money payments and that those reimbursements were made. i think the prosecution will likely argue, in order to try and influence the election. >> ian trump has pleaded not

guilty to 34 felony counts in this hush money case. the former president is still facing three other criminal trials. >> time now 730 for millions of jews all around the world will begin observing passover tomorrow night, fbi director christopher wray is now warning the recent hostilities in the middle east could possibly lead to attacks against jews here in the u.s. wray then has ordered law enforcement agencies to add another layer of security around jewish facilities all across the country during passover. >> we at the bureau remain particularly concerned that lone actors could target large gatherings, high profile events or symbolic or religious locations for violence. >> the fbi director says the number of hate crime investigations involving jews in the u.s. has tripled since the beginning of the war between israel and hamas back in october, and wray is concerned that that number could climb even higher due to recent

military conflicts in israel and iran. in san jose, fire crews were called to a three alarm fire in an abandoned building near east santa clara north 13th street. that fire, breaking out just before 730 yesterday morning nearby nursing home had to be evacuated as a precaution. residents were allowed back in about an hour and a half later. cause of that fire still under investigation. >> as the weather warms up, firefighters are getting ready for the risk of wildfires to increase. fox's steve nielsen had a chance to see how crews trained to fight flames from the air. >> what we're witnessing today is one of the most precise ways to fight a wildfire from the sky. this single engine plane actually has the tank directly underneath the pilot, and when it's full at, nearly doubles the weight of the tanker. all day, every day. for the last few

weeks, these planes have gone up and down this buckeye airstrip training. these are single engine planes with precision attacks. >> we fly lower a little more accurate. obviously a much smaller load of retardant, but they'll string sometimes 6 or 8 airplanes together. so you're getting it one after the other. >> before western pilot service trains in the air, they head to the sandbox, going over the exact plan and what to expect. >> at first, everybody thinks it's a little comical, and then it gets very serious. >> then they load up the planes with water. 800 gallons and they hit the sky. tanker 896, this is base. tell us what the conditions are like up there right now. it's a nice day. >> it's calm. it's a sunny. it's a very nice line. >> i interviewed tanker pilot steve sunday while he scoped out the drop, telling us what he was looking out for, took out obstacles, check out people on the ground, and just overall

whenever girls come into the sport, it's really nice because we all make really good friendships and we all just work together and we compete against each other and it's really fun time. >> it's also a tough time. each sailor works the sail and rudder simultaneously in the eight foot boat, navigating a trapezoid course near the berkeley circle, about a mile from the shore of the city of the same name. challenging sea conditions necessitate the use of bailers to keep water out of the boat and keep the boat afloat. >> the winds are insane. the current is intense, the water is cold, the waves are nuts. >> the regatta committee member, stone mellett says over coming, such hardships at sea forges toughness and character. >> just the a normal thing for them to be comfortable being uncomfortable and not complaining about conditions and really learning to grind. and i think they, they attach that to every part of their lives. >> to be sure, this environment is as competitive as any on land. but these young sailors

say they also chart a course for fun. >> having fun is really important because it's just you do better when you're, like, lightheaded, having fun. but it's also about the competitive aspect of wanting to win, wanting to play good. >> i think it's just a really good passion and i really have been connected to the racing and i just want to do well and compete against my friends. if all goes well, some of these youngsters will make the cut to represent team usa at this summer's international regattas in oakland. >> jesse gary, ktvu, fox two sports scientists are hoping a rather unique hopping robot could help explore space and bring back precious minerals and metals from planets. >> they're worried different levels of gravity on moons and asteroids will keep traditional machines from being able to get around them, and these space hoppers could be a key to other future discoveries. the robot is armed with three legs, nine

motors, which helps it leap off surfaces of an object in low gravity. a team at florida has been experimenting with the bot under zero gravity conditions, with help from the european space agency, and researchers hope the device will help them in future discoveries. >> well, for most, the work week begins tomorrow. and if you're dreading that upcoming zoom meeting, i can fill in for you with a digital clone of yourself and all. the tech is called delphi ai. it's been touted as the world's first digital cloning platform. the company says clones can mimic the user's thoughts and speech, and take as little as an hour to create. getting nervous. officials say it can allow professional experts to reach many more people than they could on their own. users must have a photo id to prevent impersonations of others. >> i'm going to give that a big thumbs down. >> that is like forgetting everything that scares you about ai. we're in trouble here. oh, wow. you know, i mean, i'm sure

for some people, but, like, can you imagine being in a zoom meeting with someone and saying hello there? are you you or are you me or are you what? >> or delivering the news? can you imagine down the road? i don't want to go yourself. stop imagining i'm not. but it's a little scary, real and in person. >> we can confirm with multiple sources. yes we are. rosemary oroczo is standing right. >> she's real. >> yes. pinch me. i'm real. good morning. happy sunday, both of you. >> we are looking at a nice forecast, especially if you like the warmer weather. temperatures are going to soar well above average today, giving you a live look here over the oakland estuary towards the oakland coliseum. the a's are on the road, but the giants are home today, and it's going to be a beautiful one in the city of san francisco. so going into the upper 60s for the afternoon, storm tracker two here, it's a quiet one. the winds are generally light. and again, we are looking at just partly cloudy conditions for the morning hours and then mostly sunny. the afternoon may even have a little bit of drizzle out there today. i want to push us

into monday because this is going to be a transition day. we're going to start out feeling very similar to today. a high clouds over parts of the bay area, a little bit of patchy fog out there. but as we get into 1:00 or so, notice what is coming in from the south. this surge is going to work its way up the coastline. so depending on the timing, if it hits us sooner than later, our coastline, our bayside communities will definitely feel the difference. our inland communities may be. maybe on tuesday we will see temperatures come down just slightly, but it's going to take a little bit longer for you to have that influence move overhead. here's a look at monday night a little bit of drizzle there, the low clouds moving back into the north bay inside the bay as well. so again today likely to be the warmest day for many of us tomorrow. our inland cities away from that influence may have another warm day coming. temperatures across the bay area right now 54 degrees in san francisco, upper 40s in livermore, santa rosa, checking in at 48. a little chilly for

you there. here's a look at the forecast expected for the afternoon. by noontime, low 60s at the coast to low 70s inland. and if you're thinking about getting out to walk the dog, remember this time of year the pavement starts to get a bit warm. low 80s for our inland cities. upper 70s around the bay, 60s at the coast. and if you're looking for a cute little pooch to walk, coco puff is available at the san francisco spca. i look at that picture and it makes me smile. here's a look at the afternoon highs for today . low 80s for you in concord, as well as livermore in the north bay, 81 in santa rosa, closer to the water 60 for pacifica. so our coastline will remain relatively cool for today, but you get inside the bay, upper 70s hayward, as well as redwood city and low 80s over san jose. your extended forecast temperatures begin to drop tomorrow for our coast, our bayside, our inland cities. you will see a little a smidge cooler, but not too much. still well above average, but that changes on tuesday. we all get

in on that cooling trend wednesday into thursday, increasing the cloud cover. upper 50s along the coastline to upper 60s inland. maybe even a shot at some wet weather coming. our way thursday into friday. cloudy >> okay. thank you rosemary. well, san francisco's iconic castro sign is getting a makeover as part of a $15 million restoration project. detail on details on the historic landmarks transformation into a multi-purpose venue and when it's all supposed to be finished , we're going to be out there regardless of weather, whether or not it's bringing in a bunch of money or getting a bunch of views. a musician whose goal is to bring smiles to people's faces, the simple act that's made him viral

if you feel like things don't add up right now... you're not alone. rent is up, and every family outing costs an arm and a leg. well, we want to help. so when prices go up, we find new ways to go low. and now, we've lowered the price on hundreds of your favorite products. designing something beautiful is easy. designing something beautiful with great quality for a low price? that's a different story. it's why we're here. that's a promise. not a promo.

pictures on x. announcing that

that iconic castro sign that you see there is finally being restored. and this work comes during the theater's first phase of a $15 million project to restore and update that 100 year old theater. that restoration project will transform the movie theater into a multi-purpose venue, and that work is expected to be done by the summer of 2025. >> today is the final day to see dancers from the historic dance theater of harlem in the east bay. they will perform a mix of treasured classics and new contemporary pieces that celebrate black culture and empowerment. the dance theater of harlem was founded during the height of the civil rights movement, with the intention to serve the black community. last performance, scheduled for 4 p.m. today. that's at the lesher center for the arts in walnut creek. >> well, after quitting swimming lessons due to anxiety, a georgia teen on the autism spectrum is going back into the pool. a decade later, the fox medical teams beth galvin shows us how a unique program helped this athlete break through her fear. julie haener.

>> it has taken months of trust and teamwork and patience, but 17 year old autumn hawkins of grant park and her swim instructor beth costello are taking the plunge. how does it feel in the water? i feel, i feel, happy sometimes because the water is where autumn, who is on the autism spectrum, wants to be. >> autumn just brings joy to everyone that she comes in contact with. she loves swimming, she loves the pool. >> but swimming or even being in the water wasn't always this easy. last year, when autumn started coming to adaptive swim lessons at the decatur family ymca, just getting into the pool was really challenging. >> i'm afraid of the water. >> yes, autumn had started swimming lessons in preschool, but her mother, erika hawkins, says being a neurodivergent kid in a loud, crowded pool triggered intense anxiety. >> that anxiety transitioned over into vacation as well, so

what we would see is just her kind of doing, like a fight or flight thing. when it was time for us to get into the water by four. >> autumn had quit swim lessons and soon her mother says she was reluctant to get in the water at all. >> our family, we swim a lot. we visit the beaches a lot, so it really had an impact on our life , when she wasn't able to, you know, take part in those family activities, she would just sit on the side of the pool. it was almost heartbreaking. >> but about a year ago, the hawkins found these adaptive swim lessons at the decatur y. costello helped develop the individual and small group classes program designed for children and young adults with special needs. the lessons are free, thanks to a grant from gas south, and costello says learning to swim is critical. >> it's a life or death sport. i mean, if they don't know how to swim, if they don't know how to protect themselves in the water, it could be deadly. >> you're doing great, kiddo. so she and autumn started with how to be safe in the water.

>> a lot of the kids are terrified of the water and that's the hardest part, is getting over that fear. all right. we're going to do backstroke. >> okay. once autumn could tread water, they moved on to mastering the different swimming strokes. >> i like to do a backstroke and after that i used to swim on my back too. and i used to kick my feet. >> it's been nothing short of amazing because the hawkins have watched autumn's confidence and her love of the water come back to her to bring her here and have her to pick back up on those skills, to see her build and how fast she is in the water , it's just been a beautiful thing to watch. >> okay. and autumn swim lessons have now evolved into swim practice because she is now in training. >> i'm going to be in the special olympics soon. yes, i gotta make sure i take my time and get in shape. >> after more than a decade away from the water, autumn hawkins is back where she belongs. do you feel proud of yourself? yes.

why >> i can do anything. i put my mind. to. >> this morning, the oakland police department is saying goodbye to one of its own. a police officer critically injured in a crash six years ago has died. what the department is saying about this officer, who always had a smile on his face. and it is the end of an era. bart is saying goodbye to the old and welcoming in a new line of bart trains. more on what the transportation agency is saying about this next chapter for bart and ferry service connecting sausalito and san francisco has been halted indefinitely. we're live with details about why and how commuters can get to their destination is from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> and good morning to you. let's take you outside for a live look at san francisco. as a little bit of blanket of gray

hangs over the city and the bay, but it is shaping up to be a gorgeous day, a continuation of the beautiful weekend that we've been seeing so far. welcome to mornings on two. on this sunday, april 21st, i'm claudine wong. good morning. >> good morning one and all. happy sunday. let's get you outside at the 8:00 hour talk a little weather with rose marie. what? looks like a pretty nice day. a hot one. >> yes. it's going to be warm out there. low 80s for some of our inland communities. yeah, that might catch you off guard. yeah yes. it's been a while. summer. that's exactly what is coming our way. as we get into the afternoon for our inner east bay, as well as the north bay around the bay, our communities will be in the 70s and san francisco today expected to hit 69. a live look here from ktvu. and you can see the low clouds there as we look off towards the oakland coliseum. we do have partly cloudy skies this morning , followed by mostly sunny for our afternoon. the winds are light across the bay area. a weak onshore breeze through fairfield at ten miles per hour, so in our temperatures are very similar to where we were when we

started saturday morning. 51 degrees right now in livermore. brentwood at 64, a mild one for you already at this time. and as you take a look at what we're expected to go for the afternoon today, compared to where we typically should be 81 degrees in santa rosa, that's 11 degrees above average, san francisco, above average by about six. a better look at the numbers for today and the cool down coming our way in the extended forecast. coming up. >> all right. thank you rosemary. well topping our news at eight. many bay area ferry riders now need to find another way to cross the bay. ferry service between sausalito and san francisco has been suspended indefinitely because of an issue with the pier there. ktvu amanda quintana joining us live from sausalito this morning with details on the issues that they're seeing. amanda >> yeah. so service is suspended until further notice. you can see that there's this big sign beside me trying to let people know that they cannot get on the

ferry here in sausalito to go to san francisco. so this includes service from golden gate ferry and blue and gold ferry, both of them suspended until further notice. now, we do not know when it's going to start again. you can see there is caution tape up in front so people cannot walk up onto the pier and the only real information we have is that this sign says there is a structural compromise. we did ask leaders at the golden gate ferry more about the damage, but they really wouldn't specify what it is or how long this might take. but again, you can't walk onto the pier right now. there also is it's hard to see because it's bright out here from the sun, but there also is a crane at the end of the pier here, but we can't really tell what it's working on, what it's going to be doing out there at the end of the pier. so what's going to happen is, if you need to get from sausalito to san francisco, they are running a

bus service, so you could take a bus to san francisco instead. if you are a commuter, this will be different. this will be very different. you know, something that you're going to have to think of going into monday morning. they have been running that bus this weekend, but the golden gate ferry says they're going to put out more information about the bus schedule through the week. but it does look like it's expected to run the same time that the ferry would usually run. so we're going to see one of those busses today go from sausalito to san francisco. and then assuming way more of them are going to have to go back and forth during the week. so again, if you're a commuter, this is something you should know. do not come here thinking you're going to get on the ferry. you will have to get on a bus to go to san francisco live in sausalito. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. thank you. amanda well, caltrans is reminding drivers in the north bay that all westbound lanes of highway

37 between vallejo and sears point are still closed. and that's because of a major repaving project. you're looking at video that caltrans sent us showing us some of the work that was completed yesterday, that stretch of highway is scheduled to remain closed until 4:00 tomorrow morning. the westbound lanes will close again next weekend. for this very same repaving project. and then the eastbound direction of highway 37 will be closed during the first two weekends of may. >> well, bart marked the end of an era for its legacy fleet cars. the agency commemorated one last ride the east bay, with a festival at the macarthur station that included food trucks, a raffle, activities for the kids and pop up merchandise for sale. ktvu is alice wertz was there in 1972. >> these bart cars were shiny and brand new. >> the retirement of bart's legacy rail car fleet, an occasion that signifies the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in our transit

journey. >> saturday, the final run for the first fleet ever. >> it is very disappointing that this is going to be their last run. what's very special is that we get to experience these cars for the last time as their final hurrah on their final sendoff, there was a large turnout of legacy employees as well. >> jay bolshevik worked for 25 years as an operator and station agent. >> original poi badge. >> he says bart has managed to stay on track with the changes over the years. >> well, the society is changing and the normal 9 to 5 commute is not what it was. so bart's going to have to innovate to keep showing people why bart is the better choice for getting around the bay area, and there have been lots of changes in the past 52 years for bart. >> this operator has been here for over 22 technology, you know, and passengers, you know, covid changed a lot as far as the trains are concerned. >> the technology, state of the art, everything is software driven now, you know, versus analog like it used to be. >> there are six projects that

will use the old trains one an airbnb in the sierra, another in east oakland for the oakland scraper bike team. our bart car is a place and is going to create safe spaces for youth, we're going to have a space where kids come fix their bikes. we're going to be teaching them, different bike program curriculum such as bike safety, bike mechanics, bike customization. there were lots of items for sale, including original bart train car number signs, $50 a piece, a bit of a small price to pay for a bit of transit history in the bay in oakland. >> alice wirtz ktvu, fox two news. >> well, thousands of cannabis enthusiasts gathered at san francisco's hippie hill to celebrate 420 a day created to celebrate marijuana. a cloud of smoke was seen billowing above hippie hill on saturday once that clock struck 420. now, there was no official event this year for financial reasons, but people still showed up to hippie

hill in the city, did provide toilets and parking enforcement in the area. one person we talked to says this is still the place they wanted to be. >> it's back to being the way it was in the beginning. it's just a really nice vibe. everybody's happy. there wasn't a bunch of fences and regulations and advertising this year. it was really nice and as you can see, it was busy. >> although the crowds were noticeably smaller than they've been compared to years past, it is unclear right now if or when a more official 420 version of this event might return. either way, at least for now. true devotees say they aren't ready to abandon the hill in los angeles, at least 14 people are injured after a tram crashed at the universal studios hollywood theme park. now, this happened on saturday night at one of the boulevards. the los angeles fire department says the tram was taking people to and from their cars in the parking lot. now

they say 13 people had minor injuries, but one person was seriously hurt. the cause of that crash is still unknown. >> time now 808. investigators say an alternative method used to track someone trying to get away from law enforcement actually helped lead them to an arrest in the east bay, they say. 18 year-old terrence evans was arrested in oakland on wednesday after taking off in a stolen vehicle in san lorenzo. these are images taken from the air as alameda sheriff's deputies caught up with him. they say deputies managed to dart the vehicle with a tracking device that allowed investigators to keep up with the vehicle without engaging in potential dangerous pursuit down on the street, evans has been charged with reckless driving and resisting arrest. >> the oakland police department is mourning the death of an officer who was critically injured on duty almost six years ago, the department says. officer jordan wingate died on saturday. he was surrounded by his family, including his father, who is a retired oakland police captain now. his law enforcement career began as an

to talk about his viral videos. videos that start with a simple question he asks strangers to sing with him on the dock of the bay, wastin time. >> yeah, he has become a viral sensation with a simple ask excuse me, will you sing a song with me? oh, sorry, but what now has become a social media

staple, started with a love of music and a man who is known as guitar oh 5000. he started singing in the subway to earn cash to pay for his $5,000 tuition for nursing school, and he almost couldn't do it the well, the first time i did it, i was so nervous i couldn't get one word out. >> i couldn't get one song out. i couldn't even get the guitar out to be honest with you. but, but i made sure that i went to the subway to the new york city subway with only enough money for a one way trip. and so if i was going to make it out alive, i had to sing something. oh that's awesome. >> how much money did you make that day? >> the first day i made, like, $30, and i was like, what? this is it. this is a great life. >> he would keep playing, sometimes with more success than others. and like a lot of things, what worked one day wasn't dependable. the next. maybe it don't matter if you're black or white.

>> at some point it was michael jackson, black or white, which i used to play inside the train. i had a really impressive rendition of it and i would play in the same car at the same time. day in, day out. and i remember someone i remember walked in and someone said, oh, he's going to play michael jackson, black or white watch and then i played it and he was like, oh god, that song again. >> then one day he had an idea. >> my cousin junior was working with me as my intern because he wanted to start a music career. and i wanted to show him like, hey, you can play the subway, you can make videos and things like that. so i had, i had i had him in my company that day, my cousin, i had my cousin in my company that day and i said, look, hold my phone. i'm going to do something. and he he held my phone and i said, press record. i'm going to go on around and ask people to sing. >> he was convinced it would go viral, so he made his edits, uploaded it, and went to bed believing he'd wake up to a viral video. >> so the morning of i wake up and i look at the views and i'm like, no one's really watching it? so it didn't get a lot of

views, but it got really heartfelt comments. >> those comments were enough to convince him to keep doing it, but it wasn't until the pandemic hit in 2020, when people seemed to be searching for a way to cope, a way to find light in the dark that those videos started to resonate in a deeper place. i said, i am the one, but the kid is my son. >> june 2020, in new york city is hot, and i just remember being inside all the time because there was nowhere to go. there's i was busking, actually, but other than that, i was inside because there's like no establishments open or anything like that. and i was at a gig, i was at a gig, an outdoor gig one day, and i just opened my phone and i saw that the video that i uploaded in 2019, in june 2020, it got like a thousand more views. what? and every day i was getting a thousand more and a thousand more and a thousand more. and eventually got to the point where it got 10,000 views a day. and then it got to the

point we got 100,000 views a day. and that was just like this video was viral. >> so you are pandemic viral. i mean, people were really searching. i think, for they were searching for content because they were stuck in their homes, but they were searching for things that made them feel good as well. >> yeah, yeah. >> and i was i was blown i was blown away. and someone, someone said in the comment, she's like, i don't know what about this video is getting me. so emotional, but i think i know what it is. i think i just miss seeing people's smile now. i feel numb to things. >> and just like that, he knew he was creating something that people seem to need now, four years later, this is his full time gig with ad revenue paying the bills. >> shake it loose and let it fall. but i always keep in mind that it is a public service first, so, yo, we're gonna be out there regardless of whether whether or not it's bringing in a bunch of money or getting a bunch of views. >> we're always going to be out there. now that you've sung, how

do you feel? >> because the magic of what he does still is unpredictable, but also human. the unexpected joy of asking someone to sing with you and having them say yes. >> what i found was that it's a transformative experience for the guest, and it's a transformative experience for the audience, too, like they were also feeling the feelings of, of transformation that comes from self-expression. they were also feeling the good feelings. they were almost living vicariously through the person who sang, the person who started out as being, you know, apprehensive, being shy or being unsure of themselves, being suspicious of me. they started out the guest starts out that way, and at the end they sing a song and they all that just melts away. they become express, they become happier to be the one.

>> so certainly thank you to reggie for that conversation. really remarkable. and i do always feel really good when i watch his videos. they kind of get i was glued watching. >> it takes a lot of guts, especially just to walk up to an open mic in a, you know, a subway area or around new york and just let it rip. >> but i, i am consistently surprised at how talented people are and that they walk up and they're like, they start belting someone out, something out. and i'm like, wow, you can really sing. i don't want to hear me, i cannot sing. >> this is a clear i did the piano man down in mexico about ten years ago. it was not good. yeah, it was good a little years ago, but. well, rosemary, reggie is going to try to do a sing with me world tour, which i think would be so fun to kind of see and watch. >> and i'm talking this week to a young man from the bay area who actually sang with reggie, and he's got an amazing story, so can't wait to tell that story as well. >> i would love for them to come

in the studio. i'm not singing either. >> oh no you would. you would have to sing. >> i'm terrible. >> we'll do it together. we'll have like, a new trio. >> okay. terrified of karaoke. won't even do it. good morning. i'm lip sync. how about that? lip sync? i like that lip sync. yeah and move around to the to the to the rhythm. giving you a view here over oakland. we do have a little bit of fog. do you see that over the city skyline. but it's not going to last. we do have mostly sunny skies away from the coastline for today. partly cloudy at the coast and today is going to be one of the warmer days along the coast and around the bay. inland cities. you'll enjoy the warmth for one more day. here's a view of the futurecast model as we get into monday, you'll notice a little bit of an onshore flow returning to the bay area. we also expect some of that southerly surge to work its way up the coastline for tomorrow, bringing back the cloud cover and the patchy drizzle to the coastline. and just inside the bay. so a bit of a cooldown coming our way as early as tomorrow for parts of

the bay area. our inland cities. it'll take an extra day before you begin to feel it, and i'll show you those numbers in the extended forecast. i also want to point out by thursday notice we're in this trough here over the west. that's going to continue the cloudy conditions. the cooler conditions, although about average for this time of year. we're well above average today and then into friday. notice what's going on here. we have wet weather over the west from areas near washington all the way down into california and possibly into nevada. so we could see wet weather come our way by the end of the business week. not the case for today. today, temperatures are already rebounding 54 degrees in san francisco. inner east bay 64 outside your door. brentwood. if you're going to the giants game today, going to be a nice one at oracle park. upper 60s a westerly breeze to 15mph under mostly sunny skies. and the game time begins 105 the afternoon highs across the region widespread 70 for our bayside

the ingredients are grown. we talked with the founder about the surprises found on the farm and the challenges. you have to be crazy to start a beauty company and compete against all those huge companies that everyone knows after specializing in health and wellness for 20 years, karen bakey knew she had to get into the beauty business. i was horrified because there were so many ingredients in there that didn't need to be in there. she started juice beauty and marin county founded on the idea that skin care should care for your skin not be filled with chemicals like synthetic fragrance. and petroleum based waste products. medical research shows those chemicals penetrate the skin and can be linked to cancer and other health issues. so for every ingredient that could be potentially toxic, we find an ingredient that's better for your skin, but also better for humans, the animals and the

planet that led the company to what is now the juice beauty farm in sonoma county. when we bought the farm, the goal was to have it. the gb farm. as a center for inspiration, a center for innovation but also to grow ingredients. they discovered the farm was also home to two rare grapes, sino and thalia seino grape has one of the highest antioxidant levels already. so when we hired a uc davis researcher because the big grape center is there, he went crazy there. karen and her team at juice beauty worked with the researcher to grow and ferment the grapes to have the highest levels of antioxidants. then they began infusing it into a super grape serum. antioxidants fight free radicals, that means goodbye, wrinkles, betterskin less dark spots. everything we want. the juice. speedy line also includes makeup. they have a team of chemists working on

just the right formulas to meet the needs of customers looking for high quality products, but again with no chemicals we use crushed roses. we use eggplant for our eyeliners and mascara. we use the deep black from argon , and then we use the deep purple for purple carrot, and when you blend it, it really creates a rich black. so we use all plant pigments so have been tested for safety and sensitivity. i happen to land an internship, um, in the makeup industry, fell in love with it and knew that's what i was going to do after i graduated because we're using organic, um, ingredients as well as naturally derived. every production batch is different, because, like in nature, no. two apples are the exact same shade. um so we have to adjust for that. those organic ingredients are found in every beauty product. you know what's fun up here at the farm. we put it in our glass and drink

it. and then we put the stem cellar super grape serum all over our face. we're getting absorbed into our skin. we're drinking it everything true wine country, true white country experience, and karen shared an exclusive announcement with us juice beauty will now use their special high antioxidant grapes in the entire line of their stem cellular collection. well, there's a bakery here in the bay area that makes beautiful colorful cakes and treats. but not for us. these are for our furry members of the family, and the dogs literally come running into the shop. and for you, you want to treat dogs like treats, but apparently dogs really like mishka treats. oh, my dogs freak out. yeah, they know from a mile away where they're going to the store, and they never want to leave. violet knows the moment we enter into san francisco that she's going to the boutique, and she basically has her head out the window and watching every

we're like it's dog treats. there's like it's a lot of people. people do it like a lot of fun, master. is it so fun to see? we're pretty proud to explain what is the mishka? actually mishka dog treats are made fresh every day in their kitchen in marin county, where it feels like a big family. olia's mum is a trained chef and helped inspire olia to cook and her childhood friend from crimea is now creating beautiful, unique pate cakes. i saw happy face. i saw how the love our cakes. they are eating like a like a like a child eating sweet, you know? five. he for today. a lot of customers start with a birthday or a special occasion. they come back because they haven't found anything else . quite like mishka. he loves the treats. they don't upset us like sensitive stomach and he can eat as many as he wants, um, until he gets chubby, but

whenever our dogs are having upset stomach, uh, we can always count on mishka trees to make them feel better. ortiz harrison was looking for special treats for her dog and ended up finding a place where she could take her dog to work. and as soon as we park she will basically like, pull me all the way to the store . they're definitely her favorite treat, even though like she gets some, uh, like every week, multiple times a week. she always like will pick it over any other tree. it's not just treats. mishka also has fresh meatballs and soft jerky. if you see them closer, they look soft and chewy inside. which means that dogs are not scratching the th or stomach. so where does the name come from? olia says. that's a funny story. there he just say, come to say hi, and he's a big, tall, handsome. and uh, to say hi. i say hi. i've been so shy my english by the way was so bad. i didn't. i didn't speak full english at

all. just basic phrases you pick like a bear. he is like, how be in russian and i say mishka. he's like, oh, mishka nishka. what a cool fun name and i'm like, yeah, now it's your nickname. five years later, they're married and mishka and the bear is now the name of her business where dogs are the motivation. i'll be doing anything. keep you longer with me. it's never enough, right? mishka now has a party room at the shop on union street in san francisco. so you can host birthday parties and other events for your pup. they now deliver treats to parts of the bay area, and they are working on nationwide shipping. well, your next home may be made in the bay, but on a 3d printer that story up next, plus we really gotta get past damaging people's personal property, and we just wanted to convey that message. born and raised in oakland. this family creates fun , colorful fashion that sometimes sends a serious

well or give them samples and see if they are willing to, like, carry our products. um well, we do that on a scooter. and then after that we sometimes get frozen yogurt and down the street, which is fun. every package comes with a thank you note and a joke. they managed to combine a lot of fun with a serious message. of people don't buy our bars if they start thinking about oh, i don't need to buy a plastic bottle of shampoo or conditioner. i can use a bar instead. that's great. you know, that's that's what we want people to start thinking about if we want to, like change where the world the state of the world is that we need to stop it by like helping the planet and that's what we're trying to do. and we're trying to let people know that this is important. and like you need to change your life, your lifestyle habits. i checked in with the girls to see how the business has grown, and they have grown as well. tess is getting ready to head off to college. davia is busy in high school but still making time for sustain a bar. it feels great, you know, it's just really cool, really empowering to have my own

into toys. making toys here in the bay is a huge, huge impact on the environment. green toys are safe for kids and sustainable for the planet, and they are all made in the bay.

our next maid in the bay believes every day should be earth day. the company turns plastic milk jugs into environmentally friendly, safe green toys. it looks like santa's workshop, but it's right here in the bay area. green toys started in marin county. like many local start ups in a garage with the idea of turning plastic milk jugs into something much more. the milk jugs are chopped into pellets cleaned and dried. the material is food grade plastic cause it's safe for food contact because it comes from milk jugs or juice containers, and so the color has to be held to the same standard. each car

truck t set and play set has its own molds. the molten plastic sits in the mold for less than a minute. then the machine delivers the piece ready for assembly. can say it is literally hot off the press. no small part. no choking hazards. no metal axles in any of the trucks. so it's 100% plastic. cameron passmore has been with the company since the very beginning when there were just four employees, she says, making the toys in the bay area make sense for the company and the economy. it's not like we're ordering a container of product in the summer and then selling through it, and then it's sold out. we are making and shipping products all the time. pretty quickly if stores say hey, we need more of the tugboat. exactly we have one product that we thought we were only gonna need a couple 1000 units, and we need three times that we can ramp that up. it's not a question of getting it on a boat from overseas and shipping it out here. we're making it and we're turning it around the next

day, and that makes the company even more green because it reduces the carbon footprint making toys here in the bay where we're based, um and myself . being able to come to these factories, whenever i need to is a huge huge impact on the environment. the packaging for the toys is also made from recycled material, just cardboard. no twist ties no plastic. the typical keeps a toy in place and being green is making money. it's been profitable since day one, and we were getting involved in a lot of different categories and moving not only plastics but heading into different materials. new product this year is the playhouse next year. organic dough green toys works with child development experts to make sure they're creating toys that support important milestones because they're built to last they can. the one year old that plays with a dump truck is, you know, and just learning to roll it back and forth in five years is the six year old that's using the dump truck to

make a whole town and, you know, carry stuffed animals across the room. to date, green toys has turned more than 153 million plastic milk jugs into toys. they even use soy ink on their packaging, which is a natural renewable resource. that biodegrades four times faster than petroleum based inks. that's it for our made in the bay special for more stories on these great companies and products based right here in the bay area, head to our website and check under specials. you can also send in your ideas for our next feature. i'm pam cook. thank you for watching. ♪ ♪ >> how can you not draw inspiration from these
