Thanks for starting your day with us. Lets get a look at that forecast with meteorologist kari hall. You say its going to be nice today. Its going to be nice and warmer. Were going to have a little more of a taste of spring as we go through the middle of the week. Were starting out chilly with upper 40s, but it is all clear and that sunshine will bring in warmer temperatures throughout the day. And when we do get that warmup, people think, im going to the beach today. Well, here is a look at half moon bays forecast. It starts out at 53 at 9 00, and then well see temperatures only hitting about 60 degrees before it starts to come back down. Its going to be breezy, but a lot of sunshine, and beautiful views. As our highs for the inland areas will reach into the mid70s, dublin, livermore, 75 degrees. Also 75 in novato and san mateo. Well reach a High Temperature of 68 degrees, it will be even warmer tomorrow, with some parts of the south bay into the east bay in the low 80s. So ill have more on that. Well talk about the changes as we make it closer to the weekend coming up in a few minutes. Thanks, kari. We are learning new details about an intense late night fire in hayward. Citizens app video showing flames they shot into the air. We know it started around 9 30 at an insulation business. This is near the intersection of tripaldi and hall on hesperian boulevard. The firefighters closed off that area until early this morning. At one point flames threatened to spread to a Cabinet Store just next door. Flames were shooting through the roof about 30 to 40 feet up in the air. Crews made entry and the fire load was severe. We backed out and we immediately went to defensive mode, called for a second alarm. No one was hurt. Firefighters are still looking into how this all started. New this morning, a new look at which california neighborhoods are getting hit the hardest as the states largest insurer announces plans not to renew some Home Insurance policies. Today in the bays bob redell joins us live in Contra Costa County this morning. Bob, i understand the city of orinda is bearing the brunt of most of this move. Reporter unfortunately, you are correct. Good morning to you, laura. According to the San Francisco numbers, the chronicle, according to numbers they obtained, state farm will be canceling 1,703 Homeowner Insurance policies here in the town of o iranian did, thats 55 of their policies here in this town, and that represents the largest number for one single zip code. You can see on this map weve put together, in nearby lafayette, theyre going to have almost 1,000 policies canceled there, down in the south bay, the zip code that represents part of santa clara and santa cruz counties, just over 1,000 policies. Up north in the north bay, theres a couple of zip codes in santa rosa and other parts of sonoma county, and that represents about 1,400 policies. Last month state farm issued a written statement explaining its decision to no longer write new policies for New California homes and to end coverage for about 50,000 existing california customers. The statement reads, quote, this decision was not made lightly, and only after careful analysis of state farm generals financial health, which continues to be impacted by inflation, catastrophe exposure, reinsurance costs, and limitations of working within decadesold insurance regulations. Homeowners who live in areas at high risk of kind ofs like wildfires will have to buy into the california fair plan. It is expensive and only offers fire coverage. Last month we talked to a Nonprofit Research group about the growing number of nonrenewals in fire and densely populated zones. The group says insurancers have been losing money due to california premium limits, and for every dollar Insurance Companies receive in premiums here, 1. 08 is spent on paying out claims, primarily due to wildfires. The Insurance Information institute, the group i was referring to, says the California Department of insurance is updating regulations that could bring more policy options at competitive prices back to the state. That would mean being able to charge what is commonly known as actuarial rates, something thats not occurring today. Reporter but the institute says it could take a few years for the California Homeowners Insurance Industry to stabilize here in the state, even after those new laws are enacted. Reporting live in orinda, bob redell, today in the bay. Thanks so much, bob, for the latest. A member of the San Francisco Sheriffs Department is facing Domestic Violence charges. 49yearold Deputy Sheriff Jonathan Espiritu is being arraigned he was arraigned yesterday. Hess exgirlfriend reported him earlier this month after finding a tracking device in her car. She claims he strangled her and later attacked her. The charges include Domestic Violence, battery and assault. He pleaded not guilty and will be back in court next week. Happening today in San Francisco, librarians plan to demand more security. Organizers say San Franciscos drug and homeless crisis is spilling into public libraries, making them feel unsafe. They say the majority of branchs lack proper security, sometimes forcing Library Workers to intervene to try to keep patrons safe. The group plans to gather outside the citys main library Near Civic Center at noon. Well, Congress Returns from his twoweek recess with a busy agenda that includes decisions on ukraine aid, israel funding and funding for the baltimore bridge collapse recovery, and reauthorizing the federal aviation administration. House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing pressure to make good on his word to bring ukraine assistance up for a vote. Doing so would also trigger a vote that could oust him from his role as speaker. And Senate Lawmakers may soon be poised to debate a possible ban on tiktok. This follows the house vote last month ordering tiktoks chinabased Parent Company to either divest or face a national ban which some argue may impact Small Businesses. A new economic report from tiktok claims that Small Businesses reap 3. 4 billion in the gdp directly from use of the app, which also supports more than 28,000 jobs. And nearly all Small Businesses in california say that their business increased after promoting on the app. 72 of californians have spent money on items they first saw on tiktok. We spoke with the ceo of the fremont based pampered nail gallery. She credits viral tiktok videos with gaining millions of views of her customers pressons and worries about the damage from a potential ban. This is kind of a wild card to take away something that definitely amplifies your reach and your ability to reach customers. If you take one of those things away, one of those huge pillars away, the effects on the business cant be good. Tiktok argues a ban would violate americas First Amendment rights and the senate is expected to pick up that tiktok debate within the next few weeks. 6 08 on your tuesday morning. Taking a peek outside. Nice sunrise over the bay area. As we take a live look at downtown san jose, kari, you say its going to get a little warmer . Yes, this afternoon its going to feel really nice. And were on a warming trend that does continue for the next couple of days. Lets check out san ramon. Starting out this morning in the upper 50s at 9 00, at 1 00 today its 71 degrees. You see how fast those temperatures go up, and then reaching into the mid70s before starting to go back down around sunset. Our temperatures, our highs today will be above what we typically see for this date in april. Concord will be about 7 degrees above whats normal, and about the same in santa rosa as we hit a high of 75 degrees. In San Francisco, just slightly warmer than normal, with oakland looking at a high today of 72, and 78 today in san jose. Well talk about more changes we have coming our way as we get closer to the weekend. As we get on the roads, i wanted to check on the bridges because the bay bridge now that the metering lights are on, is starting to slow down just a bit. No incidents on the bay bridge. It takes about 13 minutes. And the Richmond Bridge is about eight minutes, san mateo bridge 12. You can see the backup as we take a live look a the approach to the bay bridge and the toll plaza. It is flowing very well across the san mateo bridge this morning. No issues, and once again, were seeing all green sensors showing that this is the usual flow of traffic. And theres no major incidents, which is great news for what we call a traffic tuesday. Usually its a little bit busier as more people are heading into the office. And watching that same slow stretch of 101 going northbound in san jose. But today, no incidents there. Ill keep an eye on it. Back to you. Thanks, kari. It is 6 10 right now. The as are set to leave oakland but may not get a warm welcome when they eventually move to las vegas. Ahead, the new poll revealing the way those in sin city really feel about the new team.

A look outside and a look at our drive times as youre heading out for your commute through the trivalley. Grant line road to 680 takes you about 25 minutes, slowing down just a bit.

It has erased its gained since it started trading, down from 66. Traders are scrambling to find shares to short of truth social. Save is spirit airlines. Its having a lot of trouble. The government barred its merger with jetblue and its having problems getting its hands on enough airplanes. This is not a boeing problem. Spirit uses airbus but it has had inspection and safety slowdowns. Spirit says it will have to furlough some pilots at a time when the rest of the Airline Industry is thriving. A civil trial against tesla for the death of an apple engineer on 101 in 2018 was supposed to begin yesterday, but tesla settled the case. The ntsb says the driver was on autopilot, playing a game on his phone, when the tesla hit a barrier in Mountain View. We expected the familys lawyers would point to teslas marketing of its full service driving, which, by the way, its not, as the reason their loved one trusted the car enough to take his hands off the wheel. Tesla has fought similar cases in the past and won. Target has launched its new membership program, circle 360. You get free sameday delivery on orders over 35 from target, but also places like petco. Its 49 right now but the price will go up in a couple of weeks. The wall street journal and moodys says Salt Lake City has the nations hottest job market. Everywhere is doing quite well, but Salt Lake City is tops, followed by three cities in florida. Austin is not in the top five. It is number seven, though, followed by nashville, tennessee. Google has a high ranking search term. Maybe you can guess what it is. Its, why do my eyes hurt . A look at the spike in queries over the last 30 minutes, yesterday, top states were arkansas, iowa and south carolina. Arkansas was the only one in the path of totality. I was reading that, obviously, if you look into bright lights, you squint and you do this, but the thing that youre actually damaging does not have nerves. So you are not aware of how badly you are hurting. Its like looking at somebody welding. Never do that, by the way. You dont know whats happening. Exactly, the burn. Yeah, its a lot of strain. It is. Thanks, scott. You bet. New at 6 00 for you, new signs las vegas voters are not sold for funding for the as on the strip. The latest poll finds only one in three voters in the city support the stadium funding. More than half oppose it. 17 are unsure about it. The as just last week announcing plans to play in sacramento starting next year until 2028. This is when the new proposed stadium is supposed to open. Right now, a nearly 400 million funding plan is still undecided for that new stadium, and it may still wind up on the ballot. Fans may be asking who needs it more when steph and the warriors battle lebron and the lakers tonight in los angeles. We know the warriors have a pretty firm hold on the postseason spot, with just four games to play. The lakers have a realistic chance to move up to possibly the six seed if they keep on winning. The warriors are basically locked into the playin round. The regular season actually ends this sunday. Hard to believe. That it is. Totally captivating, that is what a lot of people are saying after seeing yesterdays Solar Eclipse in the path of totality. Now, here is how it looked in maine in one of the locations where the skies were really the clearest. Here is a time lapse video of that experience in northern texas. The day briefly turning into night as the moon passed between the earth and sun. When is the next total Solar Eclipse . Well, if you are willing to travel internationally, you can catch the next one in 2026 from greenland, iceland or spain. The next total Solar Eclipse in the United States wont come until 2024. It will go through montana and the dakotas. In 2045 there will be another one in the u. S. , it will go from california to florida. Can you imagine if were all still here for that next eclipse . No, i cant. You probably wouldnt want to imagine that either. 20 years, well see. All right, well, were starting out all clear this morning. Were able to see a beautiful sunrise and a few more clouds over the Golden Gate Bridge this morning. But for most of the city, it is a clear start. Were going to see this clearing out fairly quickly over the next couple of hours, and we are back to the sunshine weve been enjoying for the past couple of days. You will also see the storm system that we had over the weekend is now moving over to the texas panhandle. It is drawing up some of the moisture from the gulf as it moves over parts of the south and there is a threat of Severe Weather that well continue to monitor throughout the day. As our temperatures heat up, were going to be well above whats normal for this time of year, up to 78 degrees in san jose and 77 in concord, napa, novato, as well as santa rosa, up to 75. And then even warmer tomorrow, with some upper 70s in the north bay, but low 80s for the trivalley down to the south county. A high of 82 in morgan hill tomorrow afternoon. Well see more of that on thursday, then things change shortly thereafter as we get the High Pressure thats kept us warm, breaking down, pushing off to the south and making way for a storm system to roll down the coast. Thats going to bring us rain and some winterlike temperatures for the weekend, and, unfortunately, that may change some of your outdoor plans for saturday. Its still going to be chilly on sunday. Then looking at how much rain we may see, for most of us its going to be a fairly light rain, with along the coastline up to an inch of rainfall. Then as you go toward the delta and inland east bay, its about a quarter to half inch of rainfall. The biggest thing will be the drop in temperatures. Take a look at morgan hill. Going from low 80s on wednesday and thursday, to only 66 and windy on friday, and then 55 degrees for a High Temperature on saturday, then a gradual rebound to some milder temperatures next week. A look at our sevenday forecast shows that our inland areas will go from mid70s to low 80s, and then back to the 60s on friday, which is about normal for this time of year. It gets even cooler on saturday and sunday, with some scattered showers and possibly lingering rain on sunday as well. Monday it clears out, but it wont be much warmer in San Francisco, a high of about 60 degrees. Getting out on the road this morning, lets check in on some of our cameras. This is a live l
