>>there's a thick stack of papers that sits on a shelf directly across from doctor michelle jordan's desk. santa clara county's chief medical examiner flips through the toxicology reports. each sheet represents a drug overdose death. >>i can constantly survey what our patients are dying from. >>the medical examiner's office confirmed late last month the first overdose death due to fentanyl, a synthetic opioid about 10,000 times stronger than morphine and 100 times stronger than fentanyl. >>the reason why this death is so important to report out is because we have a very high suspicion that the fake pills we observed on scene were laced with carfentanyl. >>authorities found fake oxycodone pills at the scene where a 39 year old male was found dead. they say counterfeit m-30 pills or any other pill purchased on the streets could be laced with

carfentanyl. >>when you buy a pill off the street, you have absolutely no idea what's in that pill. >>doctor sarah rudman is santa clara county's public health director. officials are pushing a more aggressive campaign highlighting this latest public health threat. >>some of the things that this coalition is working on include education about the new threat of fentanyl to health care providers, community organizations and to our harm reduction clients who may be at risk of accidental fentanyl exposure. >>to mitigate the harms, the santa clara county opioid overdose prevention project offers various avenues of support. it provides overdose, reversing medication, naloxone drug test strips, and help getting into treatment. >>we've handed out fliers. we've held trainings for health care providers, and we've worked directly with our clients who come to us in the field for a wide range of services to make sure they're hearing from a trusted source exactly what they need to know about this new risk.

>>health officials say minimal exposure to carfentanyl, including skin contact or inhalation of airborne powder, can result in death. >>it is a constant reminder that we have to continue every day to monitor for any type of new drugs that are emerging. >>it's a reminder and a warning of a deadly drug that's already here and its potential impact. >>well, the santa clara county opioid overdose prevention project will mail free naloxone to anyone 18 or older, to anyone who lives in the county. we have a link on our website kpix.com. dozens of residents, health care advocates and local leaders gathered in front of the wilma chan highland hospital. this happened in oakland this afternoon. they are protesting republican legislation that could cut hundreds of billions of dollars in medicaid funding as part of a gop legislative package that looks to fund president trump's agenda, including tax and spending cuts. the potential cuts to food stamps and other social safety nets. right now,

house speaker mike johnson is working to get the legislation passed in committee, but he's already getting pushback from both moderates and hardliners. meanwhile, in the bay area, protesters say he cut the cuts to medicaid but devastate their community. >>if you touch that money that is designated to mental health, it's going to be a tragedy for our community. we need it. our families need it. our community needed. the medicaid is not a handout. it is essential. >>the rally was just one of dozens happening across the state urging gop lawmakers to not make any cuts to medicaid. well, california is one of 20 states filing two new immigration related lawsuits against the trump administration. state attorney general rob bonta made the announcement this morning. he is suing the department of transportation and the department of homeland security for adding immigration enforcement conditions to grant funding that has already been awarded to the state. >>grants are largely unrelated

to federal civil immigration enforcement. these are funds that the federal government has because of the taxes paid to it by states like california, a donor state. meaning this is our money and the money of other states that he's holding hostage for his own unlawful gain. >>california receives more than $15 billion in transportation grants, more than $20 billion in homeland security grants each year. up next, we're going to meet the san francisco mothers who fear they could be forced onto the streets. why? they tell us the mayor has the power to help them. plus, we will hear from the earthquakes as they get ready to take on the world's most famous athlete. when he comes to san jose. >>he's too good of a player to to to think you're ever going to take him out of a game. so we need to respect messi for what he is. it's good for the league and it'll be good for the san jose earthquakes as well.

>>in san francisco, mothers are pleading with mayor daniel lurie to change a policy that they say could put their families back on the streets. that policy limits family shelter, stays to 90 days. our amanda hari spoke to one woman desperately trying to provide stability for her two daughters. >>and action.

>>mothers experiencing homelessness gathered outside city hall to ask mayor daniel lurie for a simple, belated mother's day gift. help! >>we're struggling, but we're struggling together. >>sadie bermudez immigrated from nicaragua just 15 months ago. she told her story with the help of an interpreter. she has two daughters in middle school. since they arrived, they've been struggling to find a home they can afford. >>it's been a lot of instability. i've stayed in different places for a month, three months. then i go somewhere else. >>right now, someone she met at church is allowing her and her family to share their studio apartment. but that's not a permanent solution. but neither are homeless shelters. the department of homelessness currently has a policy of evicting families with children after they spend 90 days in a city shelter. members of the united educators of san francisco came out to stand beside the mothers, hoping to change >>that. well, we're hoping we'll come

out of this, is that we can continue having dialog with mayor lurie and the department of homelessness to address and create solutions for these families. >>jerry almanza has been teaching in the sfusd school system for years. she says she can tell when a child is experiencing homelessness. >>many of our students are coming to school hungry, sleepy, the the shelter in place is provides a soup. the current policy provides a super stressful environment for our families who are constantly they're constantly looking for housing and working. >>district nine supervisor jackie fielder thinks there's a simple solution to the problem. >>we can end family homelessness in san francisco. >>she promised to bring forward a proposal, which includes asking the mayor and her colleagues to put $45 million towards housing resources. >>with less than 1% of our general fund. we can house 2000

families. that is necessary, and it is possible. >>children impacted by homelessness made cards for the mayor, and they delivered them to his office. bermudez says she hopes he will take a good look at them. >>we want to try to reach that human side of him and i think together with our hearts and the administrative portion of it, we can improve a lot of lives. >>well, mayor lurie and the board of supervisors president rafael mandelman have argued that if families are not forced out of shelters after 90 days, there will be not enough room for new families that need the space. the city's most recent point in time count found that the number of homeless families nearly doubled between 2022 and 2024. still ahead of five, we will take you to the grand opening of a new bay area park, providing a place for all children to play. >>straight ahead in sports. one

>>so, paul, this has been kind of like a roller coaster of of weather the last couple of weeks. >>we expect that in late april, most of may, well into june, where temperatures go up and down a lot. yesterday was kind of the down part >>of >>the coaster and now we're climbing back >>up. it was nice today. >>yeah, it turned out to be a nice day. today should be another nice day tomorrow. let's take a look at what you need to know as we head through the rest of this week with a look outside from the top of salesforce tower, just seeing a few clouds in the distance. otherwise, plenty of sunshine today. passing clouds, but the slow warming trend is going to continue through the rest of this week. temperatures kind of plateauing by thursday and friday. it's still going to be breezy and still going to be cool at the coast. that's what you expect for the next few months. basically, we are going to see an area wide cooldown on saturday, but it's not going to last long. a more pronounced warm up, it's going to last a little bit longer. kicks in as we head into early next week, switching perspectives and looking outside from san jose. severe clear blue skies overhead right now with temperatures closer to what's normal for this time of year, current temperature in san jose is 68 degrees. most of us fell

at least a couple degrees below what's average for the 13th of may, but we are going to continue to build on that tomorrow. 71 degrees in santa rosa. even though it's a tiny bit on the cool side. it is really nice out there this evening, and we're really not going to see much in the way of fog developing as we head through the rest of tonight. not necessarily zero fog, but it's going to be pretty sparse. a little bit of that developing along the coast in the early hours of wednesday morning and a little bit trying to spread across the bay as well. but once the sun comes up, it is not going to take long for that fog to dissipate. and our temperatures after a normal start in the 40s and low 50s, will warm up to maybe 2 or 3 degrees above normal inland, almost exactly average at the coast, low 60s there, mid to upper 60s for san francisco and oakland, even touching 70 in oakland with low 70s more likely down the peninsula and fremont mid to upper 70s in the santa clara valley, 75 degrees in san jose, just a couple degrees above average east of the oakland hills. temperatures in the mid to upper 70s to around 80 degrees for the warmest spots around fairfield, antioch and brentwood, and for the north bay as well. mostly 70s with some of the warmest

locations far inland healdsburg up towards windsor and calistoga reaching up closer to 80 degrees. more likely to hit 80 degrees by thursday and friday for those warmest inland locations. let's take a look at the winds every six hours for the next couple of days. we like showing this wind chart because it's color coded. whenever you see more orange squares showing up, it means we have more gusts in the 20 to 30 mile an hour range, and those are going to be pretty common. but towards the lower end of that range. so just over 20 miles an hour for the strongest gusts and not for that long. so no big strong push of marine air that's going to significantly drop our temperatures inland until we get into that first half of the weekend, it's going to be a cooldown that kicks in there, sending temperatures even inland down into the 60s for the most part, but then a rapid climb. and here's the real peak of the roller coaster. up to around 90 degrees by next wednesday and thursday. and there's some model data that pushes us well into the 90s, just beyond the scope of the seven day forecast. so that could go either way. but what's pretty much locked in at this point, this is likely the last time we're going to use the rain chart for the rest of the season, because our rain

chances this time of year tend to be pretty few and far between to begin with, and there's not even a hint of moisture headed our way over the course of the next several days, so don't get your hopes up for any free lawn watering anytime soon. let's take a look at the forecast. we'll start bayside, where temperatures are going to warm up into the 70s for the warmest days. i'm not sure what null means. little gremlin in the system there, but you see the temperatures beginning to warm up already by the beginning of next week. that's an ominous sign there. let's get rid of that one and see if we can take a look at inland temperatures. when things are really going to vary on a more consistent basis, we're going to see those temperatures warming up into the low 80s thursday and friday, then cooling off on saturday, but then a more substantial warm up by monday and tuesday. and again, we did find some data for tomorrow for inland parts of the bay area. we'll see if we can get the rest of the forecast filled in as we head into the 6:00 half hour. speaking of 6:00, hopefully juliet has something in the air for us >>too. and i want to know how that happens. >>i don't know. >>you don't know. null and void.

okay. stay tuned. coming up at 6:00, california's largest home insurer gets the green light to raise rates. we have reaction to the state farm ruling and what it means for homeowners. plus, it's a bizarre bank robbery in the north bay as police search for a blanket wrapped bandit. yeah, and age is just a number when it comes to giving back the unique film festival that's celebrating how local seniors are supporting their communities. the news at six is coming up in about ten minutes. but let's get to my buddy vern for a look at sports. >>k p i x sports is powered by kia. learn more at wkyc.com. kia movement that inspires. >>nba up top and the warriors. it's win or go home now and the team made it official. no steph curry tomorrow in minneapolis for game five at the timberwolves. hey look it's an uphill battle. trailing three games to one in this playoff series. the dubs missed 30 last

night in game four. kept it close for two and a half quarters. and then anthony edwards went off. scored 20 of his 30 points in just seven minutes. and jimmy butler wasn't feeling well. finished with a quiet 14 points on nine shot attempts. could curry, itching to get back on the floor with his injured hamstring, be a difference? and we'll never know. teammate draymond green put it this way. >>no we're not going to superman this thing if if he's in a place where he can play i'm sure he will. and him and rick and everybody will figure that out. but we don't need superman to play the long game. so if he can we know he will. but there's no pressure. we got to figure out how to win whether he play or not. >>celtics star jayson tatum writhing in pain on the new york knicks floor, reported torn achilles tendon. he had surgery to repair it today. the defending champs are down three games to one to new york. win.

without him, they weren't even winning with him. soccer lionel messi, arguably the game's greatest player, is in the bay area for an mls game against the san jose earthquakes, and fans are losing their minds at a chance to watch the inter miami star play. messi will make his san jose debut as an mls player. he played an international match here in 2009, but this was the scene last night on santana row. messi waved to the fans from his hotel balcony like he was pope. leo sold out, plus overflow crowds at papal park are expected. here's earthquakes head coach bruce arena. >>i think the biggest mistake you can make is just focus on messi and he's too good of a player to to think you're ever going to take him out of a game. so we need to respect messi for what he is and he's one of the greatest players ever to play this game. i think

this game will be a real plus and and draw a lot of attention. so it's good for the league and it'll be good for the san jose earthquakes as well. >>let's pivot to the w. the valkyries enter the regular season with some momentum after the road win at phoenix. the curtain raises on the regular season this friday, hosting the la sparks at chase center after seeing over 17,000 in the house in preseason. kate martin isn't taking home court advantage for granted. >>people are really excited, so to be able to play in front of a fan base like that, it just gives you a home court advantage. it gives you energy. you can feel it when you're playing out there and you hear the crowd chanting. and so that is just something super special and definitely something we're not going to take for granted. >>good players, great marketing scheme. love the colors. wave of momentum, huge fan base. you better get on that bandwagon quick while there's still room. >>there's a lot of people already. >>oh >>yeah, i mean friday. that's

the home opener. that place is going to be crazy. >>i got >>my purple >>today. violet, i should >>say. violet and black. all right. thanks, verne. well, kids of all ages and all abilities enjoy the newest park in solano county. we're going to take you there for the big celebration. that's next. >>it's a great day on the park today to play with my brothers. i grew up here in this area. torrential rain sweeps into the east as the middle of the country endures record breaking heat. lonnie quinn will have the forecast. in tonight's eye on america. the focus is on a colorado community and the art of reinvention. the coal town striking gold by unleash

welcoming children with mobility challenges. embrace the differences in. all, and this has been one of the more popular attractions at the new playground. the spinning seats where anyone can get on, including. if you're in a wheelchair, you can roll it right onto the platform and like you can see, have a lot of fun. it's a good upgrade to what was here before, and the kids are bouncing everywhere, so that's good. parents happy to see the park improvements right here in their own backyard. i grew up here in this area, and i remember when allen witt wasn't really desirable place. so it's really fun and exciting to have a new playground for my son. it's part of a multiyear renovation of allen witt park. the playground is phase three of eight phases planned. next is new life for the sports fields and more community gathering space. it's really a labor of. love, and so far the project is kid approved fun. it's like it's bigger and there's more stuff to play with.
