We do. But were happy you are here on this friday. Because the weekend is just around the corner. Im gianna franco. And hopefully you got some nice plans and the weather wont really mess it up. For sure and you know what . Major story to the First Responders this morning because we start with breaking news. Were talking about this. A major building fire in San Francisco. This is what it looks like at lyon and clay street in the Presidio Heights neighborhood appeared to be building under construction or perhaps under renovation. The Fire Department gave us this video and some of these images and they reported earlier this there was heavy fire on all four floors. It took about 60 firefighters on the scene shooting water up into that building. You can also see they have lights atop that very long ladder to try to see exactly what theyre dealing with. At last word, this was a two alarm fire. Apparently this is been knocked down but crews are now working to put out any hotspots but were hearing from a lot of you about smoky conditions as you wake up in the area and wevefuls understood those are improving a little bit. Homes on each side of the building evacuated this morning. So thats a new layer to the story. We dont know where the people were evacuated to but were working to get that. No reports of any injuries thankfully and weve got a cow on the way scene and a live report as soon as they get there. Because of that fire, reed, there are some closures to streets in and around the area, zoom in here and you can see where that icon is kind of near the western addition. Roads are blocked on lyon street both directions from washington street to sacramento street. No word until those lanes open up when they will open up. A lot of activities a reed just talked about still in and around is that area. And a lot of smoke even though its improved still might seem very smoky as you travel through there. That could affect visibility so again, road closures on lyon street both directions from washington to sacramento street. So try to avoid the area if you can. Well check to see if there are any updates for any buses or mta travels through there in the meantime. All right. Lets get a check on the forecast this morning. As we check in with darren and darren, hows the weather looking . Got a little bit of light rainout there morning. Has not been equal by the way for everybody. Its kind of the typical pattern where you have really got to be near the coast to have gotten much of this rain. And thats where you are going to see weve got some rainfalltotals that have shown up out here. You can really see the pattern. About 0. 04 of rain so far in San Francisco and about 0. 03 of rain down here in redwood city but not much elsewhere. Lets come over this way. See them bet e for redwood city and San Francisco and but if you go inland, you really havent gotten much that you can measure from this stuff. Lets look at it another way. And well visualize this now using the actual forecast imagery and i can put first alert doppler behind me. Its the coast you are going to see and the hills of the peninsula which have gotten the lighter rain out of this and the east bay hills too but notice thats it. You dont really get much more rain. Let me show you how that could change because in the afternoon today, you can pick up a few scattered showers that are going to work their way down the coastline and i dont think well get a lot out of this really. Theres going to be thunderstorms in the Central Valley while all thats happening. So theres definitely something going on here. Theres a weak weather system moving through the state today. But the complicated part of this forecast is for most of the day you are actually going to have more blue sky than anything else and heres how you might feel this the most. And it would be the wind. So if we watch this through the afternoon screen lights up right there. 40mile an hour gusts perhaps along the coast. Thats probably the bigger impact from today. A windy day if you are anywhere near the coast. And about a 25mile an hour breeze if you are inland. Daytime highs today will probably go to mid to upper 60s and well look ahead to the weekend coming up in the full forecast just a few minutes. For now, gianna, hows the drive look . All right, darren, thank you. Lets get a look at this mornings top stories. Today the Oakland Police department will be holding open Memorial Service for former officer wingate. He died from injuries he received from a car crash while on duty back in august of 2018. The memorial will be taking place at Three Crosses church on john drive in Castro Valley and services will begin at 11 00 a. M. Over in pleasanton, a community is in mourning after a trivalley family of four including two children were killed in a fiery car crash. It happened yesterday on the western edge of the city on foothill road between stone ridge drive. Friends of the family showed up to lay flowers at the crash site. Its very shocking. You know. Very nice person, always you know, energetic. And it was always a pleasure to welcome with him and talk with him and a lot of conversation. No other cars were involved. But sadly this is not the first time tragedy has struck on foothill road in pleasanton. There have been four other deadly crashes in the last two decades. Including one that happened on christmas night of 2019. Twin teenage brothers and their friends were killed. The vehicle also slammed into a tree. Well, turning to San Francisco. Parking enforcement officers are saying they are under attack and theyre afraid its only going to get worse. Their cries for help come as the city plans to issue a whole lot more tickets in the coming weeks and months. Some guy got upset because they got ticket so he followed me about two, three blocks and waited for me and punched the window and it cut my eye. A sfmta spokesperson says they prioritize their employees safety and that crime is down 48 since 2018. They also say that officers get deescalation training, selfdefense tools and have access to a dispatch center that communicates directly to police. All right, so let us know what you think of this. Lets have a community conversation. Students who have worked hard to get their degrees at usc will now not experience their main stage graduation ceremonies because of pro palestinian protests. Protesting students t some campuses across the country alleging their universities have ties with israel that should be cut. At the same time, jewish students say some of the phrases used during protests across the country cause them to feel unsafe. Heres jarred hill. [ chanting ] reporter at emory university, clashes between police and pro palestinian protesters. Its the latest escalation as students and faculty at campuses across the country mobilize against israels war with hamas in gaza. At the university of texas austin, a calmer day than the one before when more than 50 people were arrested. Students though still pushed for the university to cut ties with the israeli government. It is my understanding that the university of texas at austin Funds Research that israel directly benefits from. Reporter at the same time, a small group of jewish students held a separate rally, making their voices heard. I hear their side and i understand that. But when they start attacking the religion and ethnicity and not the country, thats when it becomes an issue for me. Reporter at californias ucla, efforts to strike a balance in the rhetoric. I do feel there are elements of antisemitism, deep antisemitism, especially when you hear chants like long live intifada and from the river to the sea. Im trying to avoid any sort of slogan like that on our side. Reporter back at columbia university, the epicenter of the protests, tents still cover the lawn as negotiations and graduation preps continue. So yesterday, we showed you live protests encampments in berkeley and this morning looking live at a student encampment at stanford university. These students also say their university has ties to israel via investments and they want total divestiture. The encampment at stanford first showed up last night with more than 100 students setting up tents and signs saying divest now and hand off rafah. Rafah of course is in gaza or near gaza and its where more than a Million People are in shelter this morning. Its also where israel has said they plan a ground invasion. So they want hands off rafah. But this is the second pro palestinian demonstration by students at stanford. First one lasted 120 days and disbanded in february. That was in exchange for meetings with University Leadership where students say they were able to express their concerns. Now berkeley too is the site of an encampment. Protests with more than 100 people in tents at sproul plaza and we followed this last several months. The students are demanding their University Take an official position against the war in gaza. It is absolutely ridiculous that the university that prides itself on diversity, equity and inclusion, berkeley specifically, on having a very radical history of student organizing, refuses to stand on the side of justice and divest. As other campuses in the country see arrests by police you might be wondering why weve not heard of arrests on bay area campuses. Well, cal released a statement saying they will not involve Law Enforcement unless its absolutely necessary. To protect the physical safety of the campus community. Because of its experience with nonviolent political protests. Meanwhile, governor gavin newsom also answering the question about response to protests and heres what he had to say. Were working with the trustees and with the University Systems as it relates to our public role and responsibility. And so were very mindful of whats going on in the campuses and want the maintain peoples rights to protest at the same time do so peacefully. Without any hate. We dont want any more, you know, i just want to avoid lot of what were seeing in other parts of the country. Well, protests happened here across and ton tremendous we are reminds also this morning of more than 100 hostages held by hamas this morning. Theyve been in captivity six months and this morning, President Joe Biden echoes the calls of 17 other World Leaders demanding hamas release the hostages taken in its terror attack that killed about 1200 people in southern israel. So for continuing congress on whats happening in the middle east the occupation at uc berkeley and other College Campuses in the country. Stay with us on air and on our website. Kpix.

Now taking a live look outside on this friday morning. And weve been covering that breaking news of a fire in Presidio Heights. And were wanting to talk to darren peck and we have some winds so thats likely why were able to report this morning that the smoke cleared rather quickly from that fire. Darren . Blew it out of the way and smoke can be a hindrance or help sometimes. And in that case, it was able to clear things out fairly quickly. Little bit of light rain falling out there too. Not the kind of rain that would really have a Significant Impact on putting adult fire but at least more humidity in the air and a little dampness out there. You are going to have to con tend with that too on the roads lets get on the virtual map. Pretty breaks in the cloud there over the Golden Gate Bridge but in general weve had an increase in clouds and light rainfall along the coast and look at the numbers, weve gotten about 0. 4 of rain thats fallen in San Francisco. Look back towards petaluma. You have gotten about 0. 02 of rain and you can see halfmoon bay is also gotten about 0. 04 of rain on there too. But look at the rest of the map. Go inland and really nothing. You really needed to be near the coast to get any light rain out of this. Lets say goodbye to the virtual map and get back actual forecast imagery and im going to show you how this system is put together. For this morning. Little bit of light rain having already come down along the coast through san mateo county. The santa cruz mountains. And the east bay hills. Theres not a lot to it. But you do see a few light showers on there. Most of that now down like around like skyline boulevard and you can see aplite l bit showing up for the east bay hills and theres more of this coming today. And theres also more of the openings in the sky that we just saw over the Golden Gate Bridge. Its a weird day because you are wail going to get more blue sky today than you will anything else but all the while a little bit of rain here off the coast and you can see the showers there and there will be isolated showers and occasional thunderstorms moving down the Central Valley. While, for the most part, were looking at relatively clear skies here at home. So its not so much that this is a big rain day. Its not. You might get a drop or two and thats about it kind of like the totals we were just looking at. Instead the way the system is really going to be felt will be the wind and you can see what happens there in the afternoon. Those are pretty strong northerly winds that start picking up down the coast. Lets come in for a closer view so you can pick out your part of the bay and play it again. Howl strong for you . Same story as the one we did at the start of this where we were using the virtual map to show how the coast feels it more. Inland doesnt. So if we get rain along the coast today and you really dent goat anything inland its also that story for a afternoon winds. 40mile an hour gusts along the coast today. And like a 20, 25mile an hour wind if you are inland. This is not Strong Enough for a wind advisory, the National Weather service has not issued one of those. But doesnt mean that you are not going to notice this. It is going to add a little bit of a windchill on the day. You will get blue skies and everyone once in a while maybe a stray drop of rain comes through today and its a bit windy. Thats it. Thats friday. Great news for the weekend. The wind will calm down a lot and a lot more sunshine. And for saturday and sunday, you will be sitting in the mid 70s so you have got a great weekend coming your way. No more rain. Very little in the way of wind. And then a noticeable warmup back here. But the the middle of this coming week, over to you gianna. Not typically what we sue for a friday. Extra busy ride into San Francisco this morning. Give yourself few extra minutes because this is a little unexpected. We had reports of a crash not too far from the upper deck and that might be what caused a few blood clots there. Other than that pretty quiet on 880. No delays on 101 and looking at the maps were seeing okay commute as you come through that area near 680 but speaking of northbound 680 between coopman and that 58 o and 680 dublin interchange there will be a freeway closure this weekend. Doe tours will be in place. But if you are traveling in and around that area, definitely plan for some brake lights and delays and westbound 37 also a freeway closure between mare island and seres point that will certainly slow you down. Live look at the Golden Gate Bridge. And you can see it looking pret 9ered made a surprise move last night in the nfl draft. The niners were widely expected to trade up in the draft by giving up one of their stars instead they held on to their current players. Thankfully. And used their number 31 pick totake a
