And the rain. That will be here this evening. Our forecast track, it puts it over us by 6 00 tonight, sal. So the morning, cloudy, windy, i would say rain this evening. Be prepared. While were you doing that, i was typing a tweet about pictures and catchers for the giants. So i am a little bit descraked about baseball being here distracted about baseball being here. We just ran that story. So now i am all excited. Why not . It is time. We have as fans to watch. So there you go. Bobble baseball teams are coming both baseball teams are coming to pitchers and catchers. My goodness. Good afternoon, everyone. Steve mentioned the commute. I dont want to disregard what he said. This is 280, off of highway 17, what he said just in case you didnt heard it and just joining us, this afternoon, we might have some wet commutes and that means driving will be slower. This afternoon. Than it is. So it might make your decision to take the car, you know, you might want to decide, hey, you know, what, i dont want to drive in bad weather getting home today or i will take bartd or the ferries. Looking okay right now. Northbound 101, looking okay. Slow traffic on the altamont pass. Nothing major. The bay bridge toll plaza, there is a backup. The metering lights are on. 6 02. Back to you at the desk. Thank you, sal. This morning, apple ceo tim cook is opposing a legal order requiring the hightech joint to help the fbi break into the iphone of the San Bernardino shooters. Now ktvu janine della vega joins us from the apple headquarters in cupertino. Quite a fight going on, janine . Reporter there certainly is. And you know, tim cook, the ceo of apple, says apple has complied with search warrants and subpoenas in the San Bernardino case, and they have even provided apple engineers to advise the fbi. But cook says that what the government is asking for is just too dangerous to build. Yesterday, a federal judge ordered apple to build software that would help the government break into syed farooks iphone. Farook is one of the shooters who killed 14 people at a Holiday Party in San Bernardino last december. Now, the fbi has been unable to access data on farooks phone, because it is pass code protected. They think the phone may hold clues to who the couple communicated with and where they traveled. Cook posted a statement on his web site, arguing why apple should not help. Cook explains that by making software that breaks into the default encryption of a iphone, it would create a back door. He likens it to making a master key, that would potentially unlock hundreds of millions of locks. And now, cook says quote, the government is asking apple, to hack our own users, and undermine decades of security advancements, that protect our customers. And this moment, calls for public discussion, and we want our customers and people around the country to understand what is at stake. Now, just last week, the fbi director said encryption is a major problem for Law Enforcement, who find a device that cant be opened when a judge says there is probable cause to open it. And the ruling by the judge yesterday is a first of its kind and it is seen as a significant victory for the justice department. And this is really dealing with balancing privacy against National Security interests, so we are just going to have to see how this all plays out. We are not going to see the end of this for a while. Thank you, janine. Time is now 6 04. Well, Berkeley Police are investigating the shooting of three teenagers who were still in the hospital, and ktvu fox 2ali rasmuss at the Berkeley Police headquarters. What is the latest . What do we know . Reporter well, according to Berkeley Police, it is pretty clear that the teens were targeted. They say it does not appear to be a random attack. What is not clear though is whether it is just one of the three teens who was shot was targeted or whether all three of them in the car were the focus of the attacker. Now, this shooting happened at 7 30 last night on a pretty residential street in berkeley. Parker near san pablo avenue in southwest berkeley. When Police Arrived they found three teens sitting in a car suffering from gunshot wounds. All three rushed to the hospital. Two suffered serious injuries. The third teen was described as nonlifethreatening injuries. Investigators are not certain whether the shooter was in another car or on foot. Last night, Berkeley Police canvassed the area and talked to witnesses and hoping anyone who saw or heard what happened would give them a call. It is going to take a while. They are going to have to obviously, there is a lot of people. A lot of calls came in. It will take some time for us to go through all of the information, and also, talk to the victims, if they are able to provide us with any information. And thats one of the questions we have for Berkeley Police this morning. Talking to the victims overnight, police have asked if they recognized or knew their attacker and find out more what may have prompted the shooting. Other things investigators are trying to figure out, whether the shooter was alone or part of a group and whether the teen victims lived on parker street, or in the neighborhood, or if they were just visiting the area. Later this morning, we are hoping to hear from Berkeley Police about whether anyone is in custody, or whether a person of interest has been identified in this crime. As of late last night, no one has been arrested. Ali, thank you, in berkeley. The time now is 6 06.

President obama intends to nominate a candidate for the Supreme Court and rejecting calls from republicans to leave the issue to the next president. The constitution is pretty clear about what is supposed to happen now. When there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the president of the United States is to nominate someone. Nothing in American History requires the senate to approve the president s nomination. President s dont appoint. They nominate. President obama has not said when he will announce his nomination. He only said the person with the in disputably qualified for that state. The California Attorney general ka me la harris has been mentioned as a candidate to replace justice scallasm and we caught up with her in san jose and asked her if she is thinking about it.

Good morning, we are looking at the sunol grade. 680 slow at pleasanton. By the time you reach fremont, it evens out for the commute into the south bay. A lot of cloud cover.

For the first time, since the terror attacks in france last november, california rock band eagles of death metal have returned to paris. The band performed a memorial concert to remember those lost in the attacks. The eagles of death Metal Performance on november 13, turned into a blood bath when islamic extremist suicide bombers stormed in and killed 89 people. It helped as simultaneous attacks hit cafes and a stadium around paris. Some survivors of the concert hall attack came out to watch the band perform once again. We were shocked because of the situation. Twand and it was a good thing to do it again and finish the story. And say it is okay. And security was tight at last nights concert.

The Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office says he performed an exam on an undercover agent and offered medical advice. This is not the first time that he has been investigated. The orlando sun sentinel reports he roamed the halls of a hospital wearing a doctors lab coat last year. And in october, he was issued a cease and desist order for operating another fake medical practice. Time now is 6 15. Lets get you out the door. Wednesday morning. Sal is watching our commute. It is busy early. It is busy. At the macarthur maze. I want to show you a picture of all of the slow traffic. And people jamming into the city. And there could be a few more people in the car these days. Remember that, during that super bowl period, and all of those closures, people started getting into the city early. And that trend has continued. And even though more people are taking bart and ferry, i think we have had a little bit of a dropoff from that super bowl period. And there is a backup of about 20, 25 minutes, before you make it on to the span. Looking at 880 and oakland. You can see traffic is going to be busy, as you drive through this area. And 580, through the altamont pass, it is going to be slow this morning. As you drive toward livermore and southbound 680 near bernal, a crash there and the traffic is recovering from that. And 880 southbound, already slow from 238 and let me push in here a little bit. 23 238 is where it begins to slow south. And it gets better after tenyson. And 6 16.

And it is windy here in fremont. Not cold. Just windy. It is not cold. It is in the mid60s for some. The wind advisory officially kicks in at 7 00 a. M. It might as well be now. Because there are pretty good gusts in the Higher Elevations. The first part of the system, coming in, more cloud and wind than anything else. If it is rain, it arrives this evening. As we move in with the system, it is falling apart. The wind has cranked up for many. And look how warm it is. 67 Mountain View. Hayward 67. And 60s, mid to upper 60s for some. Berkeley is in there as well. Concord, 66. 50s for others.

And mid60s here, including san mateo, 65 and pacifica, 65. So it is rather robust, and will is oklahoma, 29. And gusts to 38. And southeast novato, and then from Mountain View and san jose, take your pick, so sfo and hayward, it is bouncing along there pretty good. So cloudy, windy and a little break here late morning and then the system starts to move in, time line tonight, 6 00, thats when the rain moves in, and then the cold air will come in, overnight tonight, into tomorrow, and that will give us some widespread hit and miss rain. And then another system has to filter through that and it wont be until friday. We have a couple of systems here, the cold air, though, is still about 24 hours away. There is your friday system. After that, it looks pretty good for saturday into sunday. But much cooler. And cloudy, and windy. And rain moving in but later. Anything this morning will be light. Cooler high temperature, compared to where we have been. But overall, winds, the big story, 0 to 70 degrees. That will change tomorrow. Because the rain moves in tonight. So does the cooler air and it drops the temperatures big Time Thursday and friday. Thank you. You bet. Got. It it is 19 minutes after 6 00.

All the way from illegal border crossings to a large scale attack. The popes mass will be simulcast on large screens, right across the border from juarez. At the sun bowl in el paso, texas. Well, the pope expressed some irritation as he was jostled a bit by enthusiastic crowds while celebrating mass at a packed stadium during one of his stops in mexico.
