Mid to upper 30s, daytime highs on into the afternoon rise into the 70s, a warmer day ahead and even yesterday was rebecca all right, thank you john were going to head to the bay bridge toll plaza approach its been great all morning long very friday light here. You can see meaning lights were turned on a little bit later than normal just after 6 oclock this morning and in the back im not too bad just about to the 80 over crossing. The drive times standing pretty good 15 minutes out of the maze across the upper deck and into San Francisco. The san mateo bridge. Its packs but traffic is moving 21 minutes. Thats a good commute time across the flat section, no issues, no issues on the high rise getting over to one oh one. But what i want is definitely been a problem spot. This morning. And its from an earlier hot spot that we had just a before the 2 oclock hour thats been cleared. And it was actually right here at the 3rd avenue acts exit on south the one on one on that side. And now we do have that accident Still Standing that was in the back of a popular still has the right lane blocked and were still seeing traffic slow on both sides to 2. 80. Were welcoming a definitely going to be good alternate in the meantime back to thank you very much rebecca, some breaking news overnight. The Good Samaritan ended up being hit and killed on southbound 1 one to who is trying to help out another driver, thats right we want to check in with kron 4 Sarah Stinson has been live on the scene talking to crews have who have been investigating this crash sarah whats the latest. Tragic scene because as you said good a samaritan just trying to help someone who was on the road just completely crash after they hit the Center Divide that person was struck and killed by another car now theyre still trying to investigate. How all of the cars are involved theres 4 total cars involved take a look at the video you can see the 2 main this call came in around one 54 chp got a call of a solo car crash just before the 3rd avenue exit in the southbound lanes on one oh one here in san mateo this eye on you see was stopped in the middle of the lanes but after crashing into the Center Divide that at some point a man in his late 20s or 30s driving a bmw pulled over to help. And thats when he was struck by another car. He died on scene and the driver of this island has been taken to the hospital to stanford with injuries 3 to 4 actually 4 cars total are involved in multiple cars crashed the 2 other cars, theyre still trying to figure out if those cars hit the scion but for sure one of them did hit the man that got out of his car chp says another tragic story where someone gets out of their car to help someone but in turn puts themselves and major danger take a listen to chp talking about this type of situation. I was standing outside of his vehicle which is inherently unsafe anytime youre outside of your vehicle standing in lanes we appreciate when people to try to help out however any time that youre not of lanes of traffic its extremely dangerous. Thats why we highly recommend if anybody is involved in a traffic collision to either get out of lanes as soon as possible or at the very least make sure that all lighting possible is lit up including your hazard lights on and stay inside your vehicle using any safety restraint system the eye so your seat belts well as youre about to spark that system its an extremely tragic event when you do have somebody thats just trying to other people that are in a bad situation and then they themselves get hurt. It definitely tragic for those some good advice from chp to always stay in your car and call 911 if you want to of course want to help and they see someone in need so its good to call 911, but dont get out of your car now that scene has been completely cleared it did cause some slick residual traffic. So when youre more information they havent told us anything in terms of you know the man who died whats his name and his exact age also i want to get an update on their investigation, but they said they do not expect any of the drivers to have been drinking or under the influence of any drugs of any kind for now live in san mateo Sarah Stinson kron 4 news. Thank you very much sara. Also another big story this morning in just a few hours time from now we expect to learn more from oakland city leaders as they talk about the firing of police chief Anne Kirkpatrick surprising for some, but the decision to fire her was unanimous between the mayor and members of the Police Commission. Kron fours will tran covering that story for us this morning in oakland, well. Robin james, im in front of city hall where about an hour from now the people who made the decision to fire her will reportedly flesh out more why they decided to fire or without cause it came out of nowhere so this morning oakland once again is looking for a new police chief just 3 years on the job there was nothing as she did in recent memory that led to the firing which is why this was such a bombshell decision and kirkpatrick was the citys First Female Police officer in fact she was hired after 3 Police Chiefs in the span of 7 months for another controversy involving oakland and other Police Departments in the bay area. Reportedly Many Police Officers having with an underage girl so she was brought in to clean things up instead during her time as police chief there was a lot of animosity between her and the Police Commission one of the most powerful Police Commissions in the country made up of civilians and they had the power to fire her but their decision would have been moat had it not been for mayor libby shaft because he was ultimately her decision to sign off on it. Heres the Police Commissioner and mayor libby shaft talking about their decision. There wasnt enough. Leadership and so that we needed new leadership for oakland, its my duty as the mayor to recognize the role and authority of this commission. And also to recognize when the trust between the Police Commission and the police chief has become irrevocably broken. Will prevent this city from moving forward. So you heard the mayor talking about the trust between the commission as well as the police chief 2 years ago, there was a lot of dispute on whether 5 Police Officers were justified as shooting a man who had been sleeping between his area between a couple of homes, he was armed at the time, but he was sleeping at the time and those officers opened fire on him. A lot of people including the Police Commission wanted police chief to at the very least fire. Those Police Officers instead she decided according to them to protect those Police Officers so the animosity kept growing and growing and growing and then suddenly without warning yesterday they met behind closed doors with the mayor and decided to fire her. Now kirkpatrick has a decision to make whether or not she signs off on her termination and if she does shes entitled to about 270,000 we are in front of city hall on once that News Conference begins we will carry that live for you. Back tears. Okay, thank you very much well meanwhile, the Oakland PoliceOfficers Association has released a statement regarding kirkpatrick firing and it reads in part. The Oakland PoliceOfficers Association stands ready to work with whomever is our next chief of police. Despite the changes at the top the department local Police Officers continue to come to work every day and serve our residents in californias most crime challenge city.

Well have emotional reaction from concerned parents. Im Trevor Shirley in washington unemployment numbers are and some of the lowest levels in a decade.

Were back at 7. 15 chat with john about the friday forecast, its looking good at this point i start to feel a little guilty because i know we need rain will be more snow in the sierra but 70s today, john thats nice about another nice day guys conditions out there today going to be nice and warm across the bay area, lets get a look at your web cam outside. Conditions definitely clear looking at the horizon we do have some cloud cover overhead and as we make our way through the day youre going to see a lot more cloud cover showing up than what we had been seeing yesterday and that has to do with the system passing to our south which is offering up some rain for areas of central and Southern California little bit of snowfall for the southern Sierra Nevada 2 overnight tonight, some light showers right along the coast and then also looking at showers pushing on through the day tomorrow for central and southern parts of the state. Not really looking at that potential for the bay area nor on up to the sierra in the tahoe region, either these areas are going to remain dry. Daytime highs today up into the 70s as robin and james are mentioning oakland in fremont 73 degrees for your high temperatures, San Francisco at 70 while san jose at 74 napa and Santa Rosa Beach 75 for todays daytime highs. Tomorrow and sunday a little cooler than today with highs only in the 60s but that still warmer than we should be. We only have really one week left to february and it looks like the end of the month is going to be off to a dry finish much like weve started it. But march could bring some rainfall been tracking that long range forecast looks like march first is our best chance of rain in the forecast, lets keep our fingers crossed for the march miracle. Rebecca. Thank you john we are going to do a full bridge checks starting off with the bay bridge toll plaza approach and that things are looking good in the San Francisco. Its a smooth ride only 13 minutes across the upper deck into the city the back of just extends past the 80 the over crossing. It would be a little bit sluggish across the upper deck, but no major problems to report so that is good news there things are moving here. The san mateo bridge looking great the right hand side of your screen that is the commute side 20 minutes. Coming out of the east bay making your way over to the peninsula and look at this a nice sunny shot of the richmond sandra fell bridge and traffic is a moving pretty good so little bit a backup behind the pay gates, but once you get on to that dec its only 10 minutes getting into the north bay and coming out of the north bay looks great the Golden Gate Bridge said nice shot here a little bit breezy there you can see the flag flying that a nice a nice visibility only 20 minutes. Coming out of nevado and then on south one oh one across the deck and to the pay gates now back to the news. All right. Thank well a new report suggests that almost half of working americans are struggling to support themselves and their families, washington dc correspondent Trevor Shirley explains. The Trump Administration often points to economic strength through strong unemployment numbers, currently around 3. 5 . A Record Number of Young Americans are now employed, but according to a new study by the brookings institution. 44 of workers between 1864 years old only make about 18,000 a year. Thats about 10 bucks an hour. So the unemployment numbers really important but its not the whole story. Just have to look at wages, martha ross one of the studys authors says those wages often arent enough to live on especially for millions of Service Sector workers. We have a lot of retail clerks we have a lot of janitors a lot of house keepers we have a lot of jobs that dont pay very much. The study says part of the solution includes more education and skill building along with employers paying more i think a higher minimum wage is part of it but some Like Heritage Foundation economist Romina Bhatia says that could actually hurt workers but its going to hurt minorities less educated workers younger workers who are already seeing this today. She says a broader approach is needed. But we also need to look at where are the barriers that are keeping people from moving into higher earning positions ross as any solution should include the government and private sector. I think it has to be partnership reporting in washington, im Trevor Shirley.
