The dog for a walk. A little cool out it is, i know, and its going to get cooler on the high temps, thats for sure. As we head into the next couple of days. But i got a feeling today will be pretty nice, if you dont mind a little breeze, because thatll pick up only patchy fog. Lots of sunshine. Temperatures mainly 6070 of a north wind holds court. Then santa rosa will hit 80. If not, theyll be about 77. All right. Sounds here 7 00 in the morning on a thursday. And he begins with, the lets get it started with the Richmond Bridge, steve, because i do see some slow traffic there approaching marin county. We dont have any problems. And i do like this commute because we havent had a lot of issues, at least not in the last hour or two. But there are slowdowns. But what i think is going to happen is its going to be slightly lighter in the morning. And then this afternoon were going to get the getaway crowd. For people who like to make it a four day weekend, this is westbound highway four, getting over the hill to bay point slow, and we do have a backup at the bay bridge. So today youre going to get it both ways going in. And for a lot of people leaving the bay area as they head out to the memorial day weekend. 701 lets get back to the headlines. New this morning, ktvu has confirmed that a body was found inside a fire scene in pleasanton at a Mobile Home Park on vineyard avenue. Firefighters spent much of the night battling flames and putting out hot spots. The fire was contained to one unit at what is a 55 and older facility. Ktvu erasmus will be here in the next half hour. Shes been talking with neighbors about the couple who lived in the home that burned as much as 100,000 was stolen from the Contra Costa County fair as workers were on their way to deposit the money at a bank, the police say the theft happened sunday morning in antioch in the parking lot of the bmo bank branch on summersville road. Employees with the county fair were going to the banks night deposit to deposit that cash. When someone held them up at gunpoint and stole the money, the president of the county fairs board of directors told us. The cash came from the fees for entrance to the fair and for parking. I dont know what the exact circumstances or they had a car or not, but apparently from what i saw in an email from the fair itself, was somebody walked up to the person that or persons that were putting the money in the bank and put a gun up to their head, basically, and then the rest is history. Now, organizers of the county fair say they may now have to cut back on next years plans for free, fair activities to help make up for this loss. Theres no word from police yet on descriptions of whoever stole that money, and california lawmakers want to do more to stop smashing grab robberies. The state senate and the assembly passed separate packages of bills to increase the penalties for organized crime rings to allow thefts to be combined so they can be prosecuted as grand theft, and also allow retailers to get restraining orders against convicted shoplifters. Its a good day for retailers. We think these will provide a number of tools for law enforcement, for retailers and for district attorneys that we think will change the narrative on how california will address retail thefts throughout the state. Its a good start, but it does not solve the problem by any means. We need to reform proposition 47 and a separate effort is underway to repeal parts of prop 47, which voters approved in 2014. It reclassified felony thefts under 950 as misdemeanors. Two businesses in san leandro were damaged when a driver slammed into a wall at a shopping center.

Propalestine protesters have cleared out their encampment at san jose state just in time for the start of Commencement Ceremonies there, sjsu for gaza organizers have cleared the area near the well known Tommie Smith John Carlos victory salute statues on campus after being camped out there for the past ten days. Organizers say even though the encampment is coming down, their message remains the same. Im not only here for palestinians that is the primary reason, but there is an underlying reason why were here, and that is to fight racism in all forms. Organizers say the protest was an important opportunity to have a deeper understanding on the war in gaza. Commencement ceremonies continue on campus today through tomorrow. Well, starting now and for the next couple of days, roads and airports will be very busy. Triple a expects today and tomorrow to be the busiest travel days for the memorial day weekend. Ktvu james torres live at Oakland International with some numbers and travel plans expected. Hi james. Hi gasia. What you think of memorial day weekend . A couple obvious things come to mind a three day weekend, maybe some plans to do some barbecues, possibly boats on the water. But we talked to some people flying out of the bay area this morning who had a couple of different ideas of how theyre spending their long weekend. Were heading to omaha, nebraska, and whats in omaha, nebraska, were going to go take a tour with our grandparents to see what life was like before electricity going to strongsville, ohio, and whats in strongsville, ohio. Its a music trivia group that weve been together for about 25 years, and we meet every year from all over the country.

In general, triple a predicts this memorial day weekend to be the second busiest on record since 2000. On the roads, people traveling by car are likely to set a new record, with more than 38 Million People planning a road trip, a spokesperson says. Memorial day weekend will set the tone for travel for the rest of the year, and that could be promising. We havent seen numbers like this from memorial day in nearly 20 years, not since 2005 that weve seen numbers this big, when we talk about the pandemic again, were not just talking about prepandemic numbers. We are surpassing prepandemic numbers. So that tells you a lot about how people are viewing travel these days. In california, that number is about 4. 5 Million People traveling for the weekend by car for airlines, tsa is expecting as many as 3 Million People in a single day. Thats likely set to happen tomorrow, the faa says today could be the single busiest travel day since 2019. Some popular hot spots on the agenda by flight florida, las vegas and denver, which the faa says is new to the top of their list. Experts predict if this weekends numbers reach what they are expecting to see, then we could expect to see a surge of fliers and travelers this summer at about close to 300 Million People, from now until the end of august. Were live this morning in oakland. Im james torres, ktvu, fox two news. James. Thank you, barry. Residents and others have one last chance to ski or snowboard at a resort in the sierra.

It is the only resort still open in the tahoe region, and the long ski season wraps up on memorial day. Slopes will be open from eight in the morning till two in the afternoon. That is, weather permitting. Time now is 710 and we do have slow traffic out there. If you are driving on westbound bay bridge at the toll plaza, it is backed up almost all the way to the maze. Metering lights are on. Nothing unusual about that. Its been a pretty typical commute with a little bit of slow traffic here, and there for the most part, nothing major. And if youre driving on the san mateo bridge, that traffic looks good. We did have some earlier slowing on to 80 heading north, getting up to highway 17, and thats because of an earlier vehicle that was blocking lanes, although it seems to be just a little bit better now, you can kind of see it there was a fire here on the shoulder out. Let me put the arrow here. You can kind of see it. Right. Well its there, its on the right and traffic is slow. Well before that from almost highway 101 theres the Emergency Vehicle there. So it does get better right after that. Seven an 11. Lets get back to the desk. The smoke is about, id say 100, 100ft up. This has probably been the biggest fire ive seen. Smoke from a fire in redwood city at a metal scrap yard caused air quality concerns. Miles away. What it took for firefighters to get that fire under control. The city of oakland is selling its stake in the coliseum. Why . The group that wants to repurpose that prime piece of real estate has another big hurdle in its plans to vitalize the area attraction at San Franciscos pier 39. Because of allegations of excessive spending, the chronicle reports. George jacob was pressured to resign as ceo of the aquarium of the bay. The chronicle says the attraction faced serious money problems and that jacob had hundreds of thousands of dollars in entertainment and travel expenses, including almost a half Million Dollars for a trip to dubai by.

Depape is facing charges of attempted murder, burglary and assault. The prosecutions got a video. This is a 21st century case. They have the crime actually recorded, visually. So the question would be for the defense. Can you find jurors that might be more sympathetic to somebody whos got mental illness, who believes in a bunch of conspiracy theories . Now, after an error was made during the sentencing . Depape is due back in Court Next Week to be resentenced in his federal trial last week, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Experts say thats not likely to change during the recess. Facing former Oakland Police chief Leronne Armstrong is running for city council, filed paperwork to run for the at large seat currently held by Rebecca Kaplan in 2023. Armstrong was fired by mayor shang tao after an outside investigation concluded he had mishandled two Police Misconduct cases. He was later cleared of those allegations by an arbitrator by an arbitrator. Now, his move for the City Council Seat is garnering mixed reactions. I dont really think that there should be like police and government because they might be like biased. You know, i believe he will. Like i said, hes, he did a good job when he was the chief, i think he was wrongfully fired, but, i think he would do a good job. At least eight other candidates are seeking that seat, and political watchers say more may file. And the city of oakland reached an agreement to sell its share of the Oakland Coliseum. The mayor announced the city agreed to sell its share to the African AmericanSports Entertainment group, ask seg will buy it for 105 million. The goal is to redevelop that property to include Affordable Housing and entertainment, and Sports Complex, and generate more jobs. The group also wants to buy the oakland as portion of the property as well. This is a moment where east oakland is going to change. We are in healthy negotiations and theyve continued and they are moving in a positive direction. And our objective clearly is to, be able to acquire that site as well. The deal still has to be approved by the oakland city council. An introductory meeting is expected to take place as early as next week. All right, 718 lets see what the morning commute is doing. Sal castaneda where are you watching most closely . Were watching right now. Grass fire. Garcia and dave, northbound 280 near bert avenue. It was there on the freeway and you can see a little indicator that i put up there. The traffic was slow as the firefighters are on the shoulder working that fire. Theres no more smoke, but right there and you can kind of see it here. You can kind of see some activity on the right hand side. You can see one of the fire trucks there. But before all this, you cant see all that slow traffic. So give yourself plenty of time to do that. If youre driving on any of the bay area bridges, i think the same material bridge looks pretty good heading out to the high rise, and we also do have westbound bay bridge backed up to the maze. 718 lets talk about todays weather. And heres steve. Thank you, kind sir. Well get right to it here. Cooler pattern. More so friday saturday before a little rebound on sunday into monday. But today is that kind of that tweener day. But temperatures are dropping and if youre heading out sacramento, lake tahoe, monterey, Santa Barbara, la been socked in big time with the may gray. Even palm springs dropping to a comfortable night. That sweater weather for palm springs. Oh my gosh. But it does look like some thunderstorm activity could pop up in tahoe if youre going there. Especially i think over the weekend 40s, 50s, mainly 50s on the temps, upper 40s, 50s here. That system thats just coming out gave record rainfall to seattle. By the way, is the western edge of that is going to deepen over us. That will allow cooler weather. Little sunny today, breezy, only some patchy fog. Otherwise were looking good to go. And if you want cooler and windy weather friday and saturday for you, if you want a little warmer sunday. Monday. All right steve thank you.
