Well have another day like this tomorrow, but already starting to see some of those coastal temperatures coming down as we get more of a breeze, and well see a high of 82 in morgan hill, 80 in livermore. On friday, were back to sweaters, but not yet umbrellas. We will need the umbrellas for the rain coming in this weekend on saturday. Ill have a look at the timeline in a few minutes.

Legacy, quite enjoyable to see. Take a look at this right here. Time is ticking to save this 30 foot long gray whale entangled in a massive gill net off the coast of california. First responders are trying to find it and they need your help this morning. Today in the bays Ginger Conejero saab is live for us in pacifica this morning. Ginger, talk to us, do we know where that whale is right now . Reporter the exact location, marcus, is a no. But it was last seen off san mateo countys coast yesterday, and it was caught on drone video off of thornton state beach, which is where we are. Were in daly city this morning. In the drone video, you can see that the gray whale is dragging with it orange buoys. What is not as noticeable is the massive gill net connected to it. The whale was first spotted on march 22nd off laguna beach in Southern California, and it was tagged with a tracking device. That tracking device soon became separated from the whale as it headed north on its annual migration from baja to alaska. It was seen yesterday and efforts will continue to try to save the gray whale. But we are told it will be very difficult and even dangerous. We spoke to the California Marine mammal stranding response coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries. You get in tow behind the whale and we have an inflatable. Well let the whale pull us and we can pull ourselves behind the whale and reach over the front of the boat with a 10 or 15 foot pole, 20, 25 feet, depending on how reactive the whale is, and we can try to reach up to make the cut. Reporter the response coordinator also tells us entanglements are very hard to remove and the whale does not want to stop to let them do what they need to do. Noaa has never lost a rescue team member, but the same cannot be said for similar organizations around the world. It is that dangerous. Noaa is also asking for the publics help in trying to spot that gray whale. If you are going to be along the coast or on a boat, off the coast, and you spot the gray whale, you are asked to call 877soswhale and help the experts in this get to that whale in time. Hopefully so. Ginger Conejero Saab reporting live for us this morning, thank you. We have a live look in San Francisco, where happening today mayor london breed is scheduled to attend a rally for gun safety. The mayor is voicing her support for sb2, an already approved state law restricting where guns can be carried. But in january, a federal judge blocked it. The Group Moms Demand Action hosting that rally. It starts at 4 00 p. M. On the steps of city hall. Also today, candidate for city supervisor mamood will introduce a plan to end open air drug markets. Mayor london year and the San FranciscoPolice Department have been working on crack down on drug markets. The markets have contributed to hundreds of fentanyl deaths in the city.

Well, to decision 2024, and the hotly contested race in the south bay to replace representative anna eshoo. It is now looking like a recount is coming to decide the second place person in this primary. So election leaders now say second place resulted in an exact tie, this is between joe simitian and evan low. Sam liccardo is locked in as one of the finalists. Recount requests have been submitted. For now, with the exact tie, all three candidates will appear on the ballot, but a recount could change all of that. And some political experts believe that it may benefit liccardo. The person who actually has the most to gain from a recount is sam liccardo, because right now hes looking at a threeperson race. He would probably do better, have a better chance in a twoperson race. Now, we reached out to all three campaigns. Sam liccardos campaign responded saying more than 100 ballots were not included in the final tally, thats due to issues like unverified signatures, and they understand why there would be an effort to make sure votes are fully considered, end quote. Lows campaign, meanwhile, accusing liccardo of, quote, saying in part, sam liccardo, who does not live in the district, did not file a recount himself. Instead, he asked a former staffer to do it for him. Whats he afraid of . Now, joe simitian says, eventually this process will work itself out. My job is to stay focused on how i can best represent the folks in our district, and thats what im doing. It is 6 09 on your wednesday morning. Taking a live look outside across the bay area. You can find your city there or close to it. We are expecting a warmup today. Meteorologist kari hall has been warning us about it. Yeah, and even though we cant tell right now, just starting out the day it is cool, clear, but its going to warm up quickly. Take a live look outside from oracle park in San Francisco. A beautiful start to our wednesday morning, and looking at saratoga and what were expecting throughout the day. A significant warmup from 8 00 at 54 degrees, to 72 degrees at noon, and then in the upper 70s for today. Were also going to see those temperatures well above what we would usually see for this time of year, into the mid70s for santa rosa, concord today 77 degrees, and San Francisco in the upper 60s and low 70s. Well talk more about the warmup and then a weekend cooldown in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. Cinthia has been tracking where we can find lower gas prices.

Ill talk more about that in a few minutes. Were learning more details about this crash in dublin at the hopyard offramp. A couple of lanes are blocked as some cars got into it with a big rig. So a lot of that damage is being reported right now on chp. You can see the buildup stretches back into the b. A. R. T. Station and the Shopping Centers there, and it will take you about 39 minutes to connect down into 680 if youre making your way into sunol and fremont. Good morning. Very happy wednesday to you. We just got the latest data on inflation. Once again, hotter than expected. The Consumer Price index shows inflation is well off its highs, but not moderating as quickly as anybody wants. Core cpi coming in at 3. 8 . Remember, the fed wants to see 2 . They werent expected 2 , but they werent expecting something as high as 3. 8 , either. And the last mile on inflation is really proving to be difficult. Keep in mind, these numbers im talking about exclude gasoline. People who want to park their money in inflationary times turn to gold. You can buy these gold bars from costco online. Theyre selling well. Analysts at wells fargo estimate costco selling 200 million of these a month. By the way, unlike most things you buy at costco, you cannot return these. The fcc warning a program to provide low cost internet to low income American Families will run out of money next month, unless congress renews the affordable connective programs. It subsidizes families internet bills by 30 to 75 a month. Nothing captured the need for affordable internet more than the viral picture back in 2020. Two schoolgirls sitting outside a taco bell to use the restaurants internet to do homework. The School District later provided the family with an internet hot spot. Jessica alba says shes stepping down as chief creative officer from the honest company, a Baby Products company she founded, but now just owns 6 of. Tesla recently said for the first time in history it sold fewer cars in the most recent quarter than the quarter before, and it has cut prices on model y because it has so many of them. But not bmw, which is just now hitting its stride. Bavarian motor works says sales of evs are up 28 yearoveryear. That i4 youre seeing, their best seller. Now, the question will be if and when chinese evs really hit the American Market hard. Those are selling for as little as, like, 15,000. Wow. I was a very young man when Japanese Cars came into the American Market. There was a huge debate as to whether it was ethical to buy a japanese car and the answer was no, because i lived in michigan. Now, who doesnt drive a toyota or a nissan. Chinese may be the same way. Interesting to see. Thanks, scott. Consumer advocates are warning about what they claim are alarming levels of lead and sodium found in a popular childrens lunch snack and Consumer Reports is working to get them banned from school lunches. Its launching a drive calling on the usda to remove lunchables from the National School lunch program. Their experts found the turkey and Cheddar Cheese lunchable had 74 of californias maximum naturally occurring lead levels, and just under 50 of the u. S. Dietary levels for sodium. Pizza had high sodium levels and the extra cheesy has 69 lead levels and 34 sodium. Other makers fared similarly. In response, kraft said in a statement it has taken steps to improve the nutrition of its lunchables brand. B. A. R. T. Is usualing in a new era of trains right here in the bay area, but not before giving a nod to the old ones. The Transit Company removed the last of its legacy trains earlier this year and they will hold a Retirement Ceremony and offer a final ride for its old fleet on april 20th. The legacy trains have been synonymous with the bay area for more than five decades. This is when b. A. R. T. First Began Service in the 70s. Well, a new street party is now hitting downtown San Francisco. Are we ready to go . Youre definitely going to want to pack your disco shoes. Looking for some hot stuff first thursday launching into the streets along 2nd and howard south of market. Crews are right now constructing a giant six foot disco ball that will dangle above in preparation. The first party kicks off on may 2nd and will continue monthly through april of next year, and run from 5 00 through 10 00 at night. Besides disco, there will also be drag performers, martial arts, street performances, two beer gardens, and a whole lot more. The events are free to attend. My kind of party. That sounds fun. It should be. If you call off friday, we now know why. Ill come in with glitter. Long night. Its going to be a warm one out there. Some hot stuff, baby, this evening. Were going to have temperatures headed for the low 80s for this afternoon. We are starting out in the upper 40s right now. You want to layer up, as youre standing in front of the closet, what do i wear on a day like this . We start in the 40s, but then well be 71 in San Francisco, oakland 77, and up to 80 today in concord, livermore and dublin, up to 81 today in san jose, as well as san martin, with upper 70s in the north bay. Now, tomorrow its just as warm, with upper 70s and low 80s. Whats normal is in the upper 60s. Thats what well see on friday. So were coming back to some more seasonable spring weather, but then the weekend it just turns very chilly as we get the next storm system coming in. Right now its still well off the coast and weve been watching all of the severe storms that have been firing up across the south, from texas to the gulf coast, a Severe Weather situation with tornado warnings now in effect. Well be watching for that. Getting a look at what to expect at home this weekend, well have a storm system dropping down the coastline, bringing the bay area some rain, and we will all notice how cool its going to be, highs only in the low to mid50s. And there will be a very gradual warmup as we go into next week. So looking at how much rain we could see this weekend, most of us are looking at about a quarter to half inch of rainfall in these areas in yellow, about threequarters of an inch of rain to an inch in red, and were going to also see some of the hills, parts of the north bay, getting some of the higher ends of the rainfall totals. And then the sierra, about 6 to 12 inches for the most part. There could be as much as 14 inches of snow for kingvale. And our sevenday forecast shows that we will have these big temperature swings, going from low 80s in the inland valleys, to upper 60s on friday, to mid50s on saturday. Not the best weekend for those outdoor plans, but as an early headsup, it does look nicer for next weekend. Were going to see the temperatures going up and down over the next several days. Cinthia, whats going on with that major crash in dubl
