around 5.18, while pittsburgh, antioch, a little closer to that 5.30, time is when your showers will definitely start to pick up that that line of showers is what i'm looking at right now. coming along with an initially a very light start. and then there are really starts to come down with a very short areas a little further south. you can see san jose, a little quieter right now, but that rainfall bit further south is also moving that same direction. so impact to hear shortly. zooming out a little bit further. there's the sierra 50, 80 and not a good. go ahead and up that direction today at the earliest head up there tomorrow afternoon. honestly, if i were you, i'd wait until early saturday. better chance to enjoy that fresh new snowfall after roadways are cleared out. so very active situation across the bay. it's on and off. showers today. pockets of heavier rainfall. kind of like we're in the midst of right now. interspersed by dry skies at times, rain stays with us through your morning commute. so it is going to be a rough go this morning right around

10:00am. we'll catcher first break. a resurgence of showers into the early afternoon. another break after that. and then a resurgence of them on into the evening tonight. see, get the picture here. today is day that could catch you off guard if you're not prepared for it. umbrella as rain jackets through the day, even if you're stepping outside to some sunshine a bit later on today. 50's for your current temperatures, not the coldest mornings. so focus on staying dry and you'll be good to go. >> rain. all right. focus on staying dry, focus on driving safely. so you are not getting into any we do have an accident. this is on the bay bridge, 80 westbound right near that treasure island exit. however, doesn't appear to be any major delays right now. they may be able to get that off of the bridge. we'll track that right now. your drive times at around 9 minutes making it to that freeman. she exit from the maze. 82 want to want a little under 13 for you as you're traveling across the san mateo crockett down towards the maze. about 15 minutes for you as you're traveling on the

slick morning and in the south bay. 85 heading into menlo park a little under 30 minutes highway for appear traveling from one 60 in to conquer around 15 darya. james, back to you. thanks a lot. 5, 0, 3, and new this morning. you do not have to wear a mask any longer on bart. yeah, but that could be short-lived. we have one bart official saying they're going to oppose enforcing their own mandate. >> everything still in flux. camila barco is live in pleasant hill trying to sort it all out high camilla. >> good morning. so today we're actually right now in walnut creek. we've already seen passengers go through these gates and ride bart this morning. and let me tell you, darya james, they're happening. people wearing their mask this morning despite bart saying that masks are now optional and they're highly encouraged. but like james said, this could be short-lived because part is actually trying to. well, there is a proposal to reinstate that mask mandate and they dropped their mask

mandate after there were now know local state federal guidelines saying that you have to wear asked the state's department of health also terminated their statewide order on mask. and barr have been following tsa's guidance. but now that agency as well will be enforcing back either. however, as we mentioned, bar is reconsidering a proposal that would require masks on its trains. and that proposal is being brought by the board's president. and here's why she's moving forward with it. >> because there are many riders who need to be protected from covid. so folks who have underlying health conditions who are immunocompromised kids under 5 were still not eligible to get vaccinated, which is i know amazing to some people because vaccines have been around so long. but small children are still not eligible. those people really need to be protected in the best protection is that everybody wearing. >> mask.

>> now she'll be presenting that proposal at the next port meeting. she says covid cases are going up again and they say that this would be their way to keep riders safe, especially the ones who are at high risk. we're under the age of 5 and darya james. that meeting is on the 28. so we'll have to see what happened then. but for now, nascar optional, if you're riding bart starting this morning and like i said, i've seen plenty of riders this morning wearing their mask. however, i just did see one person without one. again, it's optional. but bart officials are highly encouraging it back to you. >> all right. thanks. a lot of camilla. and now on a national level, the u.s. justice department is appealing the florida judge's ruling that ended the mask mandate on public transportation nationwide. >> the cdc says it supports this appeal. >> and there's a new poll by political that shows more than half of americans supported the mask mandate that the ruling struck down. we spoke with a legal experts make some

sense of all this. yeah. loyola law professor jessica levinson says that the appeal will take a look at a federal law known as the public health service act. that law gives the u.s. public health service, the authority to prevent the spread of diseases from other countries into the u.s.. now, professor levinson says the judge's opinion of the cdc's ability to respond to public health emergencies could potentially have a lasting effect on the cdc's authority. >> do you appeal it to you? just leave it there and say, look, it's just one district court judge, where do you peel up to the 11th circuit and then maybe up to the supreme court, as you said, and it comes to a loc of issues. there is a risk of more and more bad decisions if the 11th circuit court of appeals says no, you're right. you really should read the cdc's authority that nearly then its decision upon decision. >> the appeal could eventually make its way to the u.s. supreme >> happening today, vice president kamala harris is

going to be back in the bay area. yes, she's going to be speaking at ucsf is part of a push to address what the white house calls a maternal health crisis. we have kron 4 sarah stinson live out at ucsf to explain. good morning, sarah. >> good morning. that's right. vice president kamala harris will be right here at u c s f and she will be getting a tour of a health care facility meeting expecting mothers and families talking with health care workers to really address and get to the bottom of this maternal health crisis. and this is a big, good deal for her to come back. she doesn't come back to her home state, let alone her home of the bay area. very often think this is about the second time she's come home. so what is the maternal health crisis will apparently, according to the american medical association, women are dying during pregnancy or a pregnancy related death more than ever, even more than in the 1990's, america's maternal mortality rates are among the highest in

the developed world. black women are 3 times more likely than white women to die as a result of pregnancy. and the cdc says 60% of these deaths are preventable. so the vice president is working on initiatives for maternal health to combat this in systematic unit in qualities that lead to the worst outcomes for women of color in her home state visit, she will advocate to improve these outcomes as a part of her continued call to action. the administration is actually investing 3 billion dollars to help prevent women from dying while pregnant or giving birth or afterwards. so the vice president will be speaking around 2 o'clock this afternoon. and you can listen in because it's going to be, of course, and they close quarters area indoors at ucsf. but you can watch for yourself. owner app kron on. for now. i'm sarah stinson reporting live in san francisco. back to you. thank you, sarah and former president barack obama is also going to be in the bay area today. he's going to be speaking out of stanford. >> later this morning, apparently talking about dis information in the media. and

let off as they some soil. but it's ok, we're good with to go. hopefully later but yet not even the most tempting day to head out to the coast. so at least there's that. but the warning is right. keep that extra distance between yourselves and the waves today. we're going to be looking at these high waves, us of dangerous rip current potential. >> from this morning through saturday morning. now, as you're heading back outside this weekend, fortunately, we will be seeing a lot of that surf calming down just little bit. but yeah, this storm system is definitely whipping up some winds whipping up some waves along with it too. and a lot of snowfall in the sierra nevada winter storm warning in effect up that direction. if you haven't headed up into the syria, i'd wait until saturday morning at the earliest friday, late in the afternoon as we're seeing that snow piling up in feet towards donner summit here in the bay area. things are happening as we speak. this line of showers right here, very strong frontal boundary that is pushing right through the east bay from concord right now

through walnut creek, down through oakland airport, san leandro. those spots really seen it coming down in pretty widespread good moderate rainfall from bunny shipped down through into more august. oakland itself right across the bay bridge coming down a little bit now for san francisco and up in marin county after you saw that resurgence of moisture now pushing a bit further eastward north bay, it's actually pretty quiet for mendocino. northern sonoma counties. you do have snow and upper elevations of lake county. there's a little bit of a closer look at an updated look at that rainfall, that heavy pockets of it that continues to move a little bit further eastward. concord, now more too out towards bay point. it's eventually going to impact you further and further eastward out towards antioch. and brett would and further move down 6.82 danville, san ramon and eventually the tri valley. also going to be picking up on this heavier area of rain that is moving gradually further eastward. further south san mateo down through mountain view. you're in the midst of some areas of

moderate rainfall, mostly santa clara valley, still quiet, but it's on its way your direction. so expect your rainfall to pick up here in just moments. multiple systems working their way through. we actually do have a very strong area of moisture that's sitting right to the west of the bay that once it collides with this frontal boundary is actually going to see a pretty good uptick in rainfall here in just a matter of an hour or 2. so we are going to see pockets of rainfall really picking up here and there most of it, the most widespread rain is going to be light. but those pockets will pack a punch. the potential of a few rolls of thunder and even some small hail at times this morning into early afternoon and into the early evening tonight. those are your 3 waves that are really going to come through interspersed by some clearing. so be ready for rain any point today, even if you do see sunshine doesn't mean you're done with it just yet snow in the sierra all day long. there's your first wave of rain pushes out around 10:00am you get your fall sunshine and then another one

pushes through could start to see some thunderstorms around one to 02:00pm today. only in pockets, though. some of us will stay dry. others will see those downpours and even some small hail. we'll have another dry period after that towards the late afternoon. may even catch it for your evening commute tonight, which is nice timing and then rain really picks up after sunset. this is going to be the heaviest of rain for the south bay. notice that all day long today. what we see waves of energy here in the bay, the sierra does not let up. as far as snow goes, we will continue to see heavy rain on into tomorrow morning at times this is 06:15am, omorrow morning. areas li hayward fremont could see some of your heaviest, the pockets of rain to start the day tomorrow after that will dry out towards the latter part of your friday. stay dry through saturday and sunday. winter storm warning in effect through 11:00am friday. as i've been talking about, we've got one to 3 feet of snowfall piling up above 7,000 feet. and below that, we have inches of snowfall that you'll be seeing down into your

foothills communities. temperatures today pretty familiar stuff here. i'm going to roll through pretty quickly. it's 50's at the coastline. it 60's for the rest of the bay. definitely stuff we're accustomed to at this point. we've been here for about 2 weeks with these cooler temperatures. and i think we're pretty thankful for him because they've come along with rainfall that is actually gotten some of the bay area caught up to where with where we should be for at least april rainfall totals. we'll celebrate some normal after what was historically dry january february and march april's coming through the way it's supposed to with some average rainfall so far this month. now, tomorrow morning showers begin to dissipate after 10:00am. after that, we're pretty down with the rain for the rest of the forecast. 70's for the weekend and into early next week. i think after this, we've earned some of that sunshine and comfortable weather reyna. all right, john, looking forward to the clear air here. we do have a few accidents to tell you about. >> this one. 24 eastbound west of broadway there in oakland, another one along 80 southbound south of oak

industry say the state needs to ease up on the amount that collects and some of those regulations too. >> it's really easy. even for a like myself, that's not really highly educated to figure out that it just can't work pretty much taking away. what is 30 to 40% of my business in the last year. >> so when you say your competition, you're saying the illegal market, right? yeah, that is the illicit market. they just they just don't have taxes and regulations. >> and several bills are circulating through the state capitol right now to ease some of those taxes and make cannabis more accessible across the state hearings are scheduled to begin next week. >> lawmakers in the east bay are making it easier to get marijuana and walnut creek. the city voted unanimously to legalize recreational delivery in the city. but there are some restrictions right now. only 3 authorized companies can deliver to your home. drivers can also deliver more than $5,000 worth of product, which is the state limit and they must deliver directly to

bay is actually going to be fairly quiet from this point forward. you're going to be on some of our lighter rainfall totals the next 24 hours as this energy shifts a lot further southward. as you can see, the core of this energy as of this moment is right there along this front, a line that is pushing through the east bay as we speak. san ramon expect or rainfall to pick up here in just a moment or 2. you are right at the edge of it 05:37am. it's going to start to pick up for you. oakley around 5.49. and then after pleasanton and livermore little bit closer to the 6 o'clock hour is when you're really going to notice that rainfall kicking more so into gear for you, oakland, it's starting to show signs of calming for you as the east bay shoreline is starting to see the energy pushing up into the hills just east of you. while the creek conquered, you're still in it. san ramon diaz mount diablo about to be in it more so and a little bit calmer compared to where we were earlier right across san francisco and our bridges. look at the south bay. you're right on the cusp of at least some light to moderate rainfall right now, san jose

saratoga, sunnyvale, you're starting to see that light shower activity picking up out. it's staying pretty light for you as well. zooming out across the region. we do have that snow. a lot of blue showing up in the sierra nevada. that's going to be staying put all day long today. so where is the bay area? see waves of energy pushing through this morning into early afternoon on into early evening tonight and in between those waves of energy, you're actually have some sunshine and that sunshine is not the best of news because once it hits the ground, that means that we could start to see some thunderstorm formation, which i'm expected to be highly possible on into early afternoon and early evening tonight with the second and 3rd waves of moisture. so snow in the sierra rainfall pretty consistent through the morning pockets of rainfall may even hear a couple rows of thunder this morning. maybe some small hail as well by 10:00am most of that rain has shifted out. you'll get peeks of sunshine and then into early afternoon, you see those next pockets of rainfall pushing through. those are the ones that could have some thunderstorms on into early evening tonight.

next wave as well. now 50's for current temperatures. it's a cool morning, but not a very cold morning. so focus on staying dry today. as long as you've got the rain jacket and umbrella, you're pretty prepared for what your thursday has to offer rain on. thanks for we had an accident along 8.80, and that is now clear. so we're looking at drive times. >> 11 minutes traveling from oakland to highway 38. there. also 5.80, moving along pretty nicely. so again, all of those incidents that we had just cleared up, still have that accident on the bay bridge about 16 minutes for you now. maze that free much to exit. so you have slick conditions and that delay to factor into your drive. richmond center fell tools to 1, 1, about 7 minutes for you. there's a traveling out of richmond, the san mateo bridge, although it's slick drive times are still pretty consistent. 13 minutes heading across from one. 0, one, looking at westbound. 24 walnut creek traveling down from walnut creek into 5.80. it will take you a little under 14 minutes to make that drive darya.
