Area leaders slow the flow of people out of state and out of the city of San Francisco . Just to survive. Seeing this cat changed everything. Dont judge a book by its cover or a cat for its color. Animal shelters showing us theres nothing super about one superstition. I think theyre cute. Good morning, everybody. Im reed cowan and we made it to friday. Yes, black cats are very cute by the way and happy friday. Im gianna franco. Nicole zaloumis has the morning off. And i got to admit, reed, one day when you were off, nicole and i kind of gave black cats a little bit of a bad rap. Jess, i dont know if you remember that. But were on board. We love black cats any cat so take yeah, gianna. Do you remember that was friday the 13th too and we got some viewers not the happiest with us. Wearing black today in honor of black cat day. Saying go out and adopt. Thanks for the memo guys. We get dressed in the same rooms over there. We could have anyways i actually am wearing black today and kind of decided to go with red. As we head into the weekend theres a camp for us right around the corner. Not calling necessarily for a first alert weather day just yet. But heading into this weekend, we are going to be seeing some windy conditions especially throughout our north inland hills and all throughout the east bay. This morning were waking up with clear skies down in the Santa Clara Valley. We are sitting in the 40s folks. Yesterday we were in the 50s at this time and right now mid 40s from redwood city all the way up into San Francisco. Warms up a bit more. Little bit more moisture in San Francisco sitting at 50 degrees right now and 42 novato. And 340s stretching up into santa rosa and petaluma. Put the numbers in this morning i literally got a chill just thinking of it up there in the north bay. So grab the jacket before you head outdoor. Heres the big weather story for us heading into this weekend. Low pressure has been moving it way in from the north. Those are cold fronts and been pretty consistent this week actually. But once we head into the rest of this weekend, and into next week, were going to get sandwiched between High Pressure offshore and low pressure inland. Notice the direction of the winds suddenly gets really gusty and were seeing direct winds directly if the north that are going to ramp up anywhere up to around 50 Miles Per Hour heading into the weekend forecast im advancing the clock into saturday afternoon. Start giving you kind of the idea heading into this weekends forecast. Those halloween decorations all throughout the outdoors, you are probably going to want to hold on tight to them heres the reason why especially in the north bay. Wind gusts anywhere up to around 40 Miles Per Hour early sunday morning. Heading into those afternoon hours on sunday too. This is really gusty and the reason why im keeping a close eye on this is as the air moves in from the north american if the higher to the lower elevations it condenses and dries and it allowed for the National Weather service to issue a fire weather watch that starts tomorrow morning and extends all through the weekend. Keep that in mind in the zone or on this map. Were going to talk more about that in a bit. For now over to you, gianna. All right, thank you. Happy friday everyone. A live look at the freeways right now. And start off with the good news with look at the bay bridge. Where its moving along really nicely. Things are moving smoothly heading into San Francisco. No millions just yet. They dont get typically turned on for about another 20 to 35 minutes. Keep an eye own that. I want to draw your attention to the south bay or the border between the south bay and peninsula. Taking 101 this morning or 85 northbound at 101. That connector shut down for a Traffic Alert because of a crash that happened overnight. Reed . Well, gianna, the state of maine getting help this morning in a manhunt trying to find the suspect who killed 18 leaving more than a dozen others fighting for their lives in hospitals. And an army of helpers on the ground with one focus. And that is to find robert card. Were also learning more about the People Police say he killed. Stories rising up out of the violence. Arty strout was one of 18 People Killed and two more victims were learning about. A father and son. The younger of the two just a freshman in high school. Joseph walker also lost his life. Hes the son of maine city leader leroy walker who says his son died trying to stop the shooter. I kept a butcher knife and went after the gunman to try to stop him from killing other people. And thats when he shot my son to death. Just knowing that i was there and that few minutes and then thinking, you know, in the end, he was by himself. You know . No family. Kills you. So now as we see the grieving, the stories splits in two obviously. Families planning funerals and forced into a national spotlight. And then an army of officers with boots on the ground to find the triggerman in our next half hour were live in lewiston with the latest on the manhunt. Well, more tensions overnight in the middle east. The u. S. Military hit back overnight against targets in eastern syria. Military bosses blame those they hit for targeting u. S. Bases in iraq and syria using drones and missile strikes by iranian backed militia. Following up on the firepower, several hundred american troops are headed to the middle east to enhance protection of the u. S. Forces. Well, ground attack in gaza look at this. A raid carried out by Israeli Forces and we have video showing those Armored Vehicles destroying hamas tunnels. In places where hamas launches missiles against israel. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says a larger invasion on the ground is still to come as arab leaders call for a cease fire and so many hope the hostages will be released. The u. N. Says gaza is on the verge of running out of fuel on that side of the line as hospitals struggle there to save the wounded. So these realities bringing daily and sometimes hourly briefings to our leaders in congress. In fact, the new speaker of the house is louisianas conservative mike johnson. Great sway in congressional approval of money to help israel fight back against hamas. Also other priorities, our government will shut down next month if consensus cant be found between republicans and democrats. Cruise is halting driverless rides in all its test markets just three months after getting the green light to operate 24 7 here in San Francisco. The Company Posted on X Formerly Twitter that they have decided to pause driverless operations across all of their fleets while they reflect on how to earn public trust. Earlier this week, the dmv ordered cruise to pull its robo taxis from San Francisco streets accusing cruise of withholding video from a San Francisco crash that left a pedestrian badly hurt. Another car actually hit the woman first throwing her into the path of a cruise car which then dragged her down the street as it tried to pull over. But cruise also says that their decision isnt related to any new on road incidents and supervised rides will continue with a backup driver at the wheel. Cruise has also been using austin and phoenix as a testing ground for their taxis. Well, today Oakland Police will try a new way foe collect details on car burglaries hoping to catch thieves with the help of social media. Shawn chitnis is live from the east bay for us this morning with more on why theyre taking this approach and wondering, shawn, whats the reaction from residents . Reporter well, gianna, good morning. There are certainly some who think this is a good idea or at least it couldnt hurt. Others are more skeptical. And it is definitely an attempt by Oakland Police to try Something Different and see if it can make a difference in trying to get some progress on all the crimes. The idea of course never to try and stop the crime while its happening but at least take those photos and videos if you feel safe and now share that on social media immediately. The Oakland PoliceDepartment Says that they are going to use accounts both on instagram as well as x for just this weekend. Start using the accounts today to give people a way to send them information about a car burglary as its happening. Police tell us that theyve already had 11,300 car burglaries when the doors were locked and theyre hoping by having staff monitor these accounts during the weekend, they can share information throughout the department faster. Again, some residents are excited by the idea and others not so sure. Someone followed one of the cars into the garage. And they were driving a stolen car. So to compound their problems, the gate doesnt open without an opener. And so they had to ram and ram and ram the gate. Issue of crime in oakland, in response to crime in oakland, is so complex that you cant solve it with twitter. [ laughter ] right . And they want to address crime, we have to address all the structural issues. Reporter and so again, police are saying theyre just going to try and see if this works and its a new idea. They dont necessarily have specific expectations for it. But they have a unique account they want you to use on instagram and x look for that oaklandautoburg for today through the weekend. Take photos and videos and send it to the account but again please dont try to stop the crime while its happening, gianna back to you. Thank you for that. Related to car breakins state senator scott wiener has introduced a new bill that would actually make prosecuting car breakins easier. Under current law prosecutors have to somehow prove that the car was locked. Proving someone broke a window is enough for a conviction. Wiener says eliminating that loophole will actually help prosecutors hold people who commit this crime accountable. Post on x your ideas and your thoughts there and we will be watching that.

When you think of expensive bay area real estate, we know San Francisco always is top of your mind. Well, a new ranking from u. S. News and world report puts sf ahead of new york city when it comes to expensive places to live. However, as Andrea Nakano is about to show you, San Francisco, not the only bay area city thats more expensive than the big apple. Reporter bay area residents know housing is not cheap. But vallejo and fairfield . Interesting. Reporter noelle waring and alexei live in vallejo and they were surprised at first to hear their area costs more to live there than new york city but feel it kind of makes sense. Having San Francisco being as expensive as it is, people get pushed out to these other regions. Lafayette, walnut creek, concord and then people are living there get pushed out further. Reporter the ranking by u. S. News and world report took into account the median gross rent and annual housing costs among other factors to figure out which areas need the most wealth to live comfortably. With housing costs going through the roof, most have trouble makingmenteds meet. Its so expensive. Its you know, i work and live in the bay and i have lived here my whole life and even working fulltime im an amazon driver and thats not enough money to pay the bills. Reporter there are femme, always looking for ways to evolve in their careers. Constantly trying to scale up. Thats the only way to really survive out here is to constantly be looking for push, push, push. For ways to increase your skillset. Reporter at this rate, knowwell and alek sigh may end up being priced out of california entirely they say. Were looking at montana maybe. Yeah. Its cheap, its beautiful. Yeah. So montana and i was even thinking oregon before too. Well, in case you are wondering, san diego topped the list followed by los angeles, San Francisco number six and salinas was seventh and santa rosa eighth. Wow. Most expensive places. And really what gets me is sort of the brain drain of talent that leaves our state and we need them. Right . We need them to have the bay area bounceback always talk about and if people arent staying here because its too expensive. We lose talent. Thats hard and just looking at the list think i think its california in general. San diego topping the list there . Probably similar. People are going to start leaving these areas like were having here in San Francisco. A lot of people paying for sunshine and we have sunshine. But its cool these days. It was very lot of people dont know i get into a cold plunge every morning to wake this old guy up. Did you need too today. I could see my breath when i jumped in and i thought maybe this is a little too cold. You were dealing with 40s this morning up in your neck of the woods. I know why. For many of us up north. Its chilly outside right now. Okay, many of us, reed, dont do cold plunges in the morning. Especially early hours that you do. But many of us do head out the door at an early hour on a friday to go to work or go to school and if thats the case heres what were looking at. I just got rid of the floor map. Thats what i meant to do. Temperatures throughout the bay area this morning were sitting in the 40s from san jose with clear skies actually all the way off into livermore. 40s in the forecast there. We warm up just a hair more into San Francisco. Topping off at 50 degrees and as we speak, so still chilly dont get me wrong. Upper 40s just across the bay bridge over into oakland. And visibility is pretty much clear across the bay bridge too. You will see that right behind me. 40s all the way up in the north bay with 30s near petaluma and santa rosa. Yeah, we are dealing with some chilly conditions and clear skies as of now. Were actually going to see high clouds pretty much stay offshore for us as we head into our saturday forecast. A very similar trend all throughout this weekend and mild conditions for the most part when it comes to the skies. However, were going to be sandwiched between two different systems a allowing for very windy conditions. So windy and air so dry the National Weather service is on top of this issuing a fire weather watch starting tomorrow morning at 5 00 a. M. Extending all throughout this weekend until 5 00 p. M. Watch our fire danger index. As we extend into the next couple of days and then ill explain why this is starting to increase . In just a bit. This is saturday in the afternoon hours and look at the north bay and in the high 5, 6, 7, even 8s near napa and sonoma into the saturday overnight hours. With that in mind relative humidity is going to drop a lot getting sandwiched between two different systems. Its going to be dry and its going to be very windy. Look at this. Were seeing direct winds from the north associated with these two systems just inbetween or on the opposite sides of us. With the wind we can see wind gusts anywhere up to around 30, 40, potentially 50 Miles Per Hour up in the north bay. This is sunday and those early, Early Morning hours. 45mileperhour wind gusts and keep in mind, i mean, many of us just have halloween decorations outside and secure all the outdoor objects before we head into this weekend. This is your friendly reminder now on this friday while winds are still calm to start thinking ahead of saturday heading into sunday. So im going to drop this real fast and talk about the daytime highs today. Widespread throughout the bay area. Heading into the afternoon, were not warming up too much more. Mind you were in the 40s right now sew yeah about a 20degree increase where were at right now into the daytime highs. Were expecting 60s today near antioch and concord. Its another cool day for us as that cold front swept its way through the bay area leaving us with chilly temperatures in the afternoon. Redwood city at 63degrees later this afternoon. Gianna . All right, jess, lets talk about the freeways this morning. Getting ready to get out the door and make your way towards the golden gate bridge, i have got good news, you can see it just fine this morning. No fog to slow you down so thats good news. Actually a pretty quiet ride there. Theres some road work this morning just north of here but looks like theyre wrapping things up and not really causing any brake lights or issues. So nice ride here at the golden gate bridge. If you are working your way over into San Francisco. And its friday friends, so were typically seeing some nicer conditions on the freeways. All right, i want to head over down towards that area near Mountain View. Were dealing with a Traffic Alert here, this is a crash that happened overnight. That lane closure is still in effect right now. It is northbound 85 connecting over on to 101. Apparently some of the surface streets in the area as well the exits off the freeway were closed and thats reop
