taking that 3 month-old from a home in san jose earlier this week. 28 year-old jose por and 43 year-old just say ramirez will remain behind bars for the time being. attorney and legal analyst stephen clark says that is because at this point, the da's office has not indicated the motive for the kidnapping. he says that will likely determine whether or not bail will eventually be set. >> it's not just about maybe brandon, but it's about were they seeking out this child and others. and so motive is important in assessing there a level of dangerousness to the community. >> clark says the mental health of the 2 defendants will also be examines in the weeks ahead. and he said it's possible defense attorneys could ask for a gag order or to have the trial moved to a different county. >> alameda police sharing of photos of a car that they think could be connected to a suspicious death. they say that a man's body. it was fun

at the forecast as we take live look beautiful at night to the sfo. yeah. people getting on planes heading out of town. maybe quick weekend. jaunts lawrence is here. a lot of folks have a little pep in their step. whether nice this weekend could feel it to a lot of folks getting out and about now on today already. yeah, everybody getting out there enjoy that sunshine. and of course, those winds calming down that helped a lot, too. not that real bite with that down looking good at sfo. you get forecast for you. no delays at sfo, oakland or san jose tonight about the boundary bay. if you're heading that direction, couple patches of fog sneaking in overnight tonight early tomorrow morning. temperatures will be a little bit cool if you're headed that way. 58 degrees. moderate 58 in carmel. >> and it will be warmer. slimmest about 65 degrees. southern california. variety of temperatures, you'll find some 60's co side to san diego in long beach about 79 in pasadena and 74 degrees in los angeles into the high country we go. we've got a high-pressure holding off for the weekend. that means no

threat of any rain or snow making its way on shore. so we'll keep those temperatures in the 50's. if you're headed there, fact, all the way up to 70 degrees. warmer in reno tomorrow. now, if you plan on sticking around for the weekend, changes in the weather pattern as we head toward the beginning of next week. this weekend looks good with temperatures hovering in the upper 50's. but on monday, another cold front dives in likely bring a few clouds and getting a little gusty across the mountain tops. if you're heading that direction or coming back on monday. alright, storm clouds love to get some of the storms rolling in right now. lowers forecast model shows the rain focus now up in the pacific northwest. the jet stream start lifting that pretty typical this time of year. they're going to be a lot of rain up there. unfortunately, we're not going to get anything here. just some clouds, some low clouds and fog that on shore breeze monday, another one comes through. i think that will help to kick up the winds again by monday as well. and then the possibility of maybe a little rain, keep your fingers crossed for that. that's really iffy. some long right forecast, though. but next few days looking very nice. enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather this weekend.

we'll do. thank you, lawrence. still ahead tonight after a crazy first round of the nfl draft. >> rounds 2, 3, well, tonight apwe have a live report from vegas where the niners in raiders made their first picks of the 2022 draft. >> and we're the first human case of the latest bird flu strain in the u.s. has been discovered.

>> in the south bay, the valley transportation authority has a new policy.

this requires employees and contractors to be fully vaccinated against covid. they're not talking about boosters yet. the only exemptions and approved request for medical or religious reasons of those workers that would still have to be tested every week. roughly 61% of the vta >> well, your health tonight worldwide cases of measles are up 80%. that's according to the united nations. measles says a virus that strikes mainly children in january. more than 17,000 measles cases were reported worldwide. most of those in africa in the eastern mediterranean. but there were several cases reported in the u.s. as well. health experts say this resurgences due largely 2 missed vaccinations during the pandemic. they warned that other diseases may follow. this trend has regular vaccine regimens continue to be interrupted. and the first human case of bird flu is in

colorado. an inmate was on a work release program at a commercial farm. health experts say it is likely that's where he was exposed to the h 5 n one virus through infected birds. the birds have been euthanized. doctors report he is not showing symptoms. cdc experts say it is rare for human to human transmission so they do not believe there is a risk for a widespread outbreak. >> coming up in sports, the forty-niners is in. tell us who the ninees from second round of the draft. also break down. the other 9 a

>> and now kron 4 sports from the 18 t fiber sports desk. >> hey, deebo samuel is still 49 or so. the nfl draft must be going pretty well for san francisco and by the way, they also finally got to draft some players today in the second and 3rd rounds, the first player to become a 49 or in this year's draft. well, no big surprise us pass rusher san francisco picked up usc edge, been tre jackson. jackson played 3 seasons for the trojans in his career there. he played in 27 games, racking up 103 tackles. 25 tackles for loss and 12 and a half sacks. you need all pac 12 0nd team in each of his 3 seasons. but now he's a pro

and his life is forever changed. >> it felt like. i walked outside of my body on that can believe it. my whole life, you know, was dedicated for this moment. everything's been i've never, you know, done anything else are always done things that i need do to come to this place. but still at that point, you never really if you're able to go. so it's still like a one one once once in a lifetime opportunity and i just can't it's it's par. >> and we go now live to las vegas where andrew martin is standing by. what are your thoughts, andrew, on jackson going to the you know, kate, i like the pick. as you said, the forty-niners needed an edge rusher. they got a guy who was a three-year starter at usc. he is a pass rushing specialist. he is athletic 6, 3, 254 pounds and >> he's just the right fit for

what they need. now, you mention obviously in your lead-in to what he had to say about deebo samuel still being a 49 or maybe that's why the forty-niners didn't take a wide receiver with that selection and they waited until the 3rd round to get danny gray out of smu. and by the way, that kid is fast. he ran a 4. >> 3, 3, 40. so whether or not you have people standing the team when the season starts, you get a guy that you probably can't overthrow, whether you're jimmy garoppolo or trey lance. hopefully that situation gets sorted out pretty soon. >> yeah, i think a lot of forty-niners fans are waiting with baited breath for that one. let's switch gears. talk about the raiders really quickly. they had to wait until the 3rd round to make their pick ended up drafting an interior offensive lineman. dylan par him out of memphis. they took him with the 90th picked. you think you someone who can make an immediate impact for the raiders? >> i to k because he's really for celebs looking up. these starts that he had a different positions for you. 28 at left guard 12 at right guard 11 at right tackle. so that's the definition of versatility.

he's probably going to play center at the nfl level. what i find interesting about that pick is so the draft here in las vegas is being held in, of course, vegas, the home of the raiders. they did not have a pick in the first round or the second round because of the devontae adams deal and they moved back in the 3rd round was supposed to pick 86. they will back a couple of spots in a trade with tennessee with that of taking a quarterback, billy willison with the pick that would have gone to the raiders. and what's interesting about that is there were no quarterbacks taken in the second round and between willis and kenny pickett, we went about 50 selections that actually take effect has been riddled with first. but between the league will is being here in las vegas and kenny pickett not being here. it was a run on quarterbacks in round 3, but not before that. so i just found it interesting the trade that the raiders made turned out to be a quarterback for another yeah. a new regime in vegas, right? interesting decisions being made over there. other forty-niners question for you. they made a move that might be a bit of a surprise. they took a running back in the 3rd round. that

being. >> ty price, davis from lsu with the 93rd overall pick. he is a big physical guy. how do you think he fits into the forty-niners backfield? >> so he's 1000 yard rush for more than 1000 yard. his junior season, but only 6 touchdowns at lsu from the running back position. obviously what i find interesting here is that a crowded backfield right now the niners took a running back in the 3rd round last year in so between elijah mitchell, trey sermon, wilson, hasty and help this kid. that's a lot of guys were by for just one football on the team. so i don't know how this will translate when they all get you know, to to fall camp. but i can tell you this skate, there will obviously be competition battle that, as they say, will just push to make everybody better. but i was a bit surprised that went running back at that spot. it was a lot of other people. i think we did think that they would take a right to sue some point. like you mentioned, danny gray out of smu that 100th overall pick. >> how do you think he fits in? what are your thoughts on how contribute? yes. again,

he's just really fast. that was the last pick of the 3rd round. everything we keep reading is his best. his best, best. this was a draft to be a wide receiver in the draft. of course, not over yet. rounds 2, 3 are, but in the first round or 6 guys taken out of the wide receiver position, 7 the second round of. so if you're a wide receiver, it's a good track for you and getting great. >> even though he went to smu, which is not known as a hotbed for producing wide receiver talent, he's fast and that put him on a lot of people's radars. and so i think he can fit in very nicely with the forty-niners. obviously the most annual situation is to be sorted out first. but the niners have some weapons and you never want to turn down a guy who can outrun everybody else on the field. >> yeah, i think that's a pretty good thing. no matter which way you look at it and do some great insights. thank you so try not to have too much fun down in vegas, but maybe squeeze in a little bit while you're a busy with all those will talk to you later. >> all right. how about some basketball? the warriors back

on the practice hardwood today after clinching a spot in the western conference semifinals on wednesday. now they're just awaiting their opponent for that contest. memphis just close things out against the timberwolves tonight. the dubs, though they were thinking that they might have to wait for sunday's game. 7 of series. they don't, though it is set to be a game one in the western conference semifinals against the timberwolves. here's what steve kerr said about how the words have been staying flexible even without knowing their phone and over the last couple days. >> it's kind of strange. i don't know that we've ever been in this position since i've been here were. you know, you don't have much time. and you're scouting 2 different teams. so but our you know, our first thought has to be. we have to be ready to go to memphis tomorrow and play a game at 2.30. so that means our staff. has to at least, you know, a game plan that we could present to the team

tomorrow before we would fly. and then we've got to be ready to pivot. >> so, look, we know that they are prepared for whatever they got. memphis grizzlies have been a tough challenge for them so far this season. but they sound like they're ready. and i think it's going to be really interesting matchup superstar. >> power there, john, we're at and obviously the warrior self, plenty of them lot. all stars on the floor on sunday. yeah. should be fun. thanks, kate. appreciate okay. >> still ahead tonight, feeling kind of jumpy. well, there's a place that can help with that or you can. i know a lot of walls. this looks like a prepared to make the event. but we're back with what's going on there. what calls a lot of jumping after the break.

>> it's not just a square by spot. we've got claiming totals obstacle, courses slides, both pets even in the eye and say that. but the castle and the model is a stage where we've got performers d g's and is because lights, snow. machines, bubble machines. so much going on. it really is. it really is a law firm. >> this that a scottish accent, that's pretty. does that come with i don't know. but if i were there are so okay. just talk to me for a while. great acts and heart this thing will love. the bow ties will be here until may 1st at the sonoma county fairgrounds in santa rosa. so here. >> tomorrow and sunday and people have a chance to go. check it out. my kids love those they've never been to the biggest, of course. but, you know, even a modest bounce house. a good point, though, that it looks sort of pre pandemic. that's a lot of children. the pre produced video there with the kids in the bubbles and jumping around

and it's kind of outside doubts. it sits outside bounce house and high winds or in high heels. yeah, you could end all the he transition. >> they only get put on. right now. right vicki is here to talk about what's coming up, at least in part to talk about what's coming up at 9 o'clock. thank you both. looking forward to talking with you again. fran, you. here's what's coming up on properties. these are using all trying to break into a pharmacy in oakland's chinatown. and this isn't the first time that that tester was hit. we have more on this must-see video. >> plus, a warning from business leaders there. also the final snow survey of the 22 2022 season. it is out the results. he's been called rim. we're going to get a closer look at those numbers and will may bring us any rain at all. our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow will have your forecast properties at night is next.
