Kron 4 s Charles Clifford is in walnut creek and thats where people are getting ski gear all ready to go as those storms are expected to dump some snow in the sierra. But first, a check in with our meteorologist kyla grogan with the latest conditions as well as when we can expect the first round of rain to arrive. Hi, kyla. Hey there. Yes. So today is the quiet before the storm, right . The calm before the storm. And you can see we just have those cloudy skies as we take a live look outside. For the most part, staying dry today, although a few sprinkles in the north bay. But its all courtesy of this low pressure system. The first of 2 set to roll in as we roll into our weekend and it is dragging, as you can see, a little plume of moisture with it and that will they have to be the telltale sign of what is to come. So as we zoom in here, you can see again, mostly cloud coverage. But a few sprinkles now making their way just along that north bay coast, some of it maybe not even hitting the ground yet, but its all starting to flow in the beginning of this first push, though, as we get throughout the night tonight, we stay relatively dry. But once we get into the overnight hours, you can see this rain starting to take shape.

And thats we have some of those downpours happening in the north bay. And then it starts to roll right through the rest of the bay area. As we work our way into the afternoon. So if youre in San Francisco or point south, probably looking okay for the morning. But by the afternoon, looking at for some those downpours. This is saturday night, a little break saturday night into sunday morning before the second hit of rain comes in. So this is the first bit and its going to be about a half an inch of rain. It can see for most of the bay, but an inch to an inch and a half for the north bay.

Its designed to just get us to the middle and allow all californians to have a quality of life that they they deserve. So again, people be able to vote on this measure in november.

Keep us informed and so the shocking prison death of a top critic of russian president vladimir putin. How the world is now reacting President Biden is putting the blame on. And the as maybe extending their lease at the coliseum. Were going to talk live with the sports expert about what this means for the teams future. And oakland. All right. Were going to talk about our forecast not looking out towards the north bay right now, the calm before the storm. But kylie, when you put the 7 day forecast go like this. No, its okay. Okay. Ive got a break in the rain. Everybody near the end of the 7 day forecast. But i got one and its a good one. So ill show you that in just a minute. But lets start with the cloudy skies out there. Taking a live look from the east bay. Temperatures have been mild today. We made it up to the 60s and san jose yet again, my warmest spot on the bat, mostly 50s out there for the rest of us weather is about to take a turn, everybody because weve got not one but 2 lowpressure systems lined up in the pacific set to bring us some pretty impactful rain now, the first system coming in late tonight into tomorrow. Thats the one that is going to be kind of the primer of the pump, if you will, if you will, because the second one will have that saturated ground. And thats when i think we can get to a little bit of trouble. So lets talk about these 2 waves of rain. First one for most of us saturday coming in overnight tonight, one to 2 inches in the north bay about a half an inch to an inch elsewhere. Some not as concerned about that, right . We can handle that. The problem is once we get into the Second System sunday through wednesday, now were talking an additional inch and a half to 3 inches in urban areas and 3 to 6 inches in our mountains. Were also talking about wind. So thats when i think we could get into some issues. Heres that first hit. You can see get about a half an inch in San Francisco, higher totals in the north bay. But as we get to sunday and monday, even lingering into tuesday parts of wednesday, these are the totals are looking out for its statewide, right. This is going to be a very big california rain and snow event for this year, too. So as we get into tomorrow, you see a margin of flood risk for a good part of the bay area. And then slight flood risk for tomorrow in the north bay. Then we move into sunday and at this point now were starting to take on more rain. Were all moving into. Thats like flood risk. And were also going to be under that flood watch beginning sunday morning. So the show you how these waves come in. Theres our first wave, right . Thats on saturday with a little break. Saturday night into sunday morning. Second wave comes in. This one hangs out here and just spins. And thats why its going to be a slower moving system that can provide more rain for us. And thats why it concerns me a little bit more right now. Just a few sprinkles coming into the north bay. But theres that low pressure system very well defined right there. Second one right behind it. Also, we have just let you know, High Surf Advisory for saturday. So want to make sure youre looking out for this at the coast. Could be very dangerous. Breaking waves, 18 to 22 feet. Sneaker waves can be very careful. Art. Heres the 7 day forecast. Also want to say that sunday into monday storm system has a chance of thunderstorms with it. But come on down here, folks thursday and friday. Were looking a lot better. A couple days of a break should just fine. We get to the end of the week. Back to you. Thank you. So the as are back at the bargaining table with oakland and Alameda County officials. Theyre not talking about a new stadium, just a lease extension. The teams currently supplant the coliseum expires at the end of this year and with a new stadium in las vegas, at least 3 years out, the as might need to find a new place to play if agreement cannot be reached. So its not known when this next meetings will be taking place between the as and local officials. But oakland mayor sheng thao did release a statement saying the city of oakland had a productive conversation with the as and the county to discuss a lease extension at the coliseum and we look forward to future discussion. She goes on to say keeping the as in oakland is whats best for Major League Baseball. The as oakland and the fans by doors open to john fisher and to anyone else that has the means and desires to purchase the as and keep the rooted in the town. And if oakland agrees to this extension, the lease at the coliseum, which this city is asking mlb for an Expansion Team for once the sleeve for good. All right. So lets break this all down right now is scott ostler. He is a sports columnist for the San Francisco chronicle. Thank you for joining us. Just so what do you make of this meeting between the mayor and the as and the county officials and how theyre trying to come up with this least extension there. Not any. Theyre not talking about staying there. Just but i kind of it off very slowly yeah, the meeting was interesting in which it more interesting latest news this morning. I found out from all the all the Mayors Office that the mayor, her office has been in touch rob manfred, baseball commissioner and Major League Baseball about the possibility of in exchange for a lease extension that mlb would guarantee all that and a special team. Now its bit of a big ask and it seemed impossible not that long ago. But games are desperate. They can lose 70 million bucks year if they have to play elsewhere. So they might can mlb to guarantee oakland that its fashion team. Thats again, that thats a possibility. Another possibility that what another ask that opened is making of the asian exchange. That least accent. If extension is that the as saw their half of the cause, site, which theyre buying in the process to buy that they sell at 101, developing a Development Company which would pave the way for a Massive Development at the cost site. So those are 2 possibilities that are looming now. Which one seems more viable to you. Do want to see more viable for the as to sell. Theyre half of cause him to a group called the African American sports and entertainment group, which is that that was already the citys half of the land. They want to buy as have to so they can develop without if they only have half ownership, they probably wont be able to develop. So the key to that whole Massive Development, getting the as. Have age might be captain out to sell their in order to get their lease extension. So this lease extension those only for one year. And i was just in vegas that Tropicana Hotel a Still Standing there. Even if they started today, its going to take years for them to build this. But they have now negotiate each year to try to extend they have only see a Television Place for next season, upcoming to play because for 1. 2 Million Dollars. I after that, they have at least 3 years, 3 seasons, possibly 4, 5, where theyre going to be homeless before their stadium is built my face. They need a place to play in interim 3 or 4, 5, years often by far their best option because it would save them a ton of money and money in would anyone else want to have it . Any other city even want to have them calm . They Salt Lake City walk and then instantly theyre an option to play in las vegas at the Minor League Ballpark and sacramento but opens best option because the as play anywhere else out of the bay area, they stand to lose about 70 Million Dollars a year tv money. Thats why we want to stay here. So at this point, were only talking about least extensions. Were not even talking anymore about staying permanently. Not at all. Thats not a car on the table that they strike out las vegas which is still in the state. Well, theres possibility they could come back open same trying to get my all taking a shot at building a bar here in dalton. And if they did, that is a good chance it would be at the coliseum. Thats also but what Expansion Team do you think would want to come play in oakland . Well, it would be new team that will be created Major League Baseball were getting old. And im brandon team called the overdose or whatever. And out. It would maybe starting all over starting fresh with would not only today, but a new owner, which is kind of a key factor. Do you think that if there was a new team here that they would keep the as name or does is named go with them to las vegas . Thats a good question. And thats also in and would like 2. And theyre john fisher, you dont please leave your name and logo and colors everything here. No one gets. Were going other Baseball Team and fisher is all set. And no, im not doing that. Im just not taking. Were working on a with a stolen. I mean, las vegas. So thats where stands now. Again, minds could be changed. But to me, its its thats a lesser consideration. I think that people know and the fans would love to keep the name and all the stuff they would be happy if they got an Expansion Team, even if they had a new name. A new name. The oakland. Lets go. Lets for right now. Ok . Keep the same colors. They go. The new color because fisher is going to take the green. The biggest its it was nice service for respect. You know, the important thing is to have all teaming up with start fresh. It like we still have many years of all this negotiating a back and forth to go in front of us. Yeah, a lot of us got happened pretty fast because mlb is demanding that the as find out where they play in these homeless 3 or 4 seasons. They need to know now they need to do scheduling and planning and everything. And he is on the as wrap this stuff very soon. Not to let linger for. A year 2 years. That kind of stuff happen pretty quickly. I think got to get things going. Scott ostler sports columnist. For the San Francisco chronicle, thank you for joining us and for providing us with a little insight there and what the Mayors Office is talking about. All right. Thanks, justin.

But first, the warning that the chp is issuing for anyone going to the sierra the incoming storms to Northern California are expected to bring heavy snow to the sierra. And authorities are warning people who are going up the mountain to go very safe when theyre driving and use extra precautions. So lets talk about that with some of the warnings coming out now from the chp with officer chris patten. Hes out of truckee. Officer pat, thank you for joining us here on kron. 4. Youre welcome. How are you today . Im great. How are you are hoping to get a little insight into when you think will be the best time for people to try to drive up and try to come back. When you see breaks in the storms. Well, for the for coming storm, i think guy today, friday being a good day tomorrow morning will probably get the date good day to travel as well. Saturday night and sunday is unfortunately were expecting heavy snow on into monday. I know its a threeday weekend and does a good travel day for the way back . I would expect a to travel back on tuesday. If if you have, if you if youre able to do so. Good. So there are some breaks in time so people can get up up and back safely if theyre going. Theyve never been before. Youre always surprised by people who have no idea what chains are, how to use them, especially if like a first timer at what do you advise people do if theyve never make that truck before. Well, my advice becoming if youre traveling from the bay area to truckee or on over into the reno area, if you do have allwheel drive vehicle, that is that is from a lot of vehicle to be have without change. As long as you have in mud and snow rated tire. Lot of times we see people with all season tires on there allwheel drive vehicle they work. However, the law states that and snow are rated higher and conditions can change. Can change in instant, be prepared for long waits. Blankets, food, plenty of water. Be sure to fill up. Your car with gas or charge your vehicle prior to coming up the summit thats always helpful to. And when you see the warnings, when you see change control signs, please pull over in a safe area to put your chains on. We often see people are pulling over on the side of the road and inconvenience and on safe spots. Please heed the warning so that if you can pull off the freeway, thats the option. How his love and i go through the checkpoints and other like, you know, checking to make sure you know that you have the right kind of tires, tires to drive through because were looking at some of the conditions. Now, this is a 80 at soda springs could see the roads clear. But the officers kind of hold up like 4 fingers at you like you have fourwheel drive. It was like, yes, yes, they do. So theyre checking their out there. So i wanted to know what the chp is doing out and about weekend and into next week, knowing more people are heading up to kind of enjoy the snowy dies of extra staffing. What does it look like from your standpoint . All right. Definitely during a storm, we do try to stop as many officers as we can we are constantly out there patrolling week, especially when the snow hits. Making sure people are safe or out there with our partners caltrans trying to keep the roads open as best they can if if you get a good reminder is stay out of the pause way, if you can get that safe distance behind them, theyre just try and a l they can to keep this road open for the motoring public. And were out there just make sure people are safe help. You see the black and white vehicle driving by just slow down. Watch your speed. Thats good reason were out there. Just a good reminder to people remember 30 Miles Per Hour in the chain zone as well. Thats a little politics i have as far as as aust being out. There also on secondary roads. Be sure to watch your gps. Dont follow your gps off the main travel highway because sometimes caltrans where the county roads wont be able to get to those highways and theyre not part as well as the man. Lauren. Officer chris patten with truckee, chp, thank you for joining us. And for all these tips and stay safe and warm this weekend, if possible are trying enjoy the snow, if you can appreciate your time. All right. Thank you very much. Stay safe out there. All right. Heres what it looks outside right now. Checking back with officer here. There you go. All right, kyra, im outside. What about, you know, how much do you think theyre going to get in air the impressive that second wave is going to be impressive are taking a live look from diamond peak rate. I can see some folks already out there. Thats kind of a good thing. If youre already there, then you can kind of just hang tight. All the snow comes but we are going to get 2 waves of it. The first one coming in on saturday. There is going to be wind with this as well. So you heard officer patton, thank you. Just dont really want to be on the roads with all this is going down. And thats really saturday sunday into monday. Then after that, things should get a little bit better today. Obviously no problems driving up. And frankly, the very early part of tomorrow morning. But you would want to get up there early because by the time we get to the afternoon, the snow is going to be falling and then it just continues. This is through sunday night. And then when you can see that bigger hit comes in on monday, thats when were going to see 2 to 4 feet up at the peak. So thats what could get really tricky. And you want to stay put until at least tuesday. It looks like im going concur with his assessment there. I think tuesday will be your first shot of getting out wednesday. Be even better. So first system saturday into sunday. Thats where we have a Winter Weather advisory for that Second System. Now we have a winter storm warning thats gone up. So that starts at 4 oclock on sunday and goes through 10 00am on wednesday. Thats we could see those higher totals up to your several feet at the peaks real tricky to get through some of those passes. Right now. Take a live look at stormtracker 4. You can see we just got a little bit of a snowflake fall so this also coming into the bay, were going to see that pick up as we get later into the night. But right now, just a few north bay sprinkles from our first of 2 lowpressure system sitting one right there. Second one right there out in the pacific. So for today we get the break, then were going to get into it as we get into our saturday sunday, we have another wave of rain coming in and that leads to some heavy rain on monday. Thats why we do have a flood watch. That is up. That does start sunday goes through wednesday morning. Thats what were looking out for. The potential for some of the flooding. So time is to get ready right now for all of this coming through on the weekend. Ill talk more about this. Make it back in just a bit for now. Send it back to a desk. All ben, thank you so much. And there is some uproar in San Franciscos chinatown. After small Business Owners say that they were blindsided by news that the mayor has plans for a sober living facility in their area. They do agree that people need help, but they believe that the location that was chosen is not appropriate. And they would have liked to have been included in the conversation sooner. Kron fours also money. And here in our studio with more on this story, thanks for joining us. Well, just emergence i met with today agree that people need to be helped by the city, but they worry that putting a sobriety home in the center of bars and other businesses may not be the best move. Town her family has owned Retail Property here since the 1950s. She says the community isnt tight knit is it used to be, but there is an issue. Merchants are coming together on many of them disagree with the citys choice to use the historic north beach hotel nearby on kearney and columbus as a sober living facility for at least the next 5 years. Starting this spring. I was very alarmed. I was upset. And as angry, just like a lot of people in the community. Do know they need help this dot. I support. But the fact is, and they and the mayor said, ok, theyre going to be property, stop. Its going to well monitored. But those are no guarantees. Some chinatown, Business Leaders feel blindsided. Having learned of mayor london breeds plans. Through a tip from a staffer of their supervisor, aaron peskin. Nancy, you law has a story about a block away from the chosen site. And was busy with Lunar New Year festivities when she rushed to a meeting with the mayor within a halfhour of learning about this plan, we work on the surprise and how come you never heard anything from anyone . And we give a lot of questions because we have concerns be we dont really know exactly what kind of program is because it is the first in the nation. According to what they say, merchants we spoke with believe between the tourism and nightlife. The north beach chinatown corridor is not an appropriate setting. For people trying to get sober outdoors is not comfortable about. Though they should be put some put them somewhere else. I mean, this should be enough. Consider something location after that. And not only for overall, theres a sense of disrespect that the city did not include the small Business Owners at the inception of the idea. I think what could be improved is really the communication between our neighborhood and the city. And for the city to have better. That thats for reaching out to monolingual as well as communities color on friday, Community Ambassadors receive walking chinatown, passing out leaflets about the plans for the north beach Hotel Tuesdays meeting lot tells me that the mayor said she will delay her decision and potentially find another location, though the Mayors Office did not confirm that directly with us. The Mayors Office sent a statement saying instead in part that theres still a lot of Community Outreach in consideration that must be done before a final decision is made on this particular proposed facility and that there are alternatives as to how we can collaborate to support our community.
