there were 3-inch amounts. getting hail in the valley is not unusual. but getting it in sacramento at the capitol is. they were building hailmen. traffic shut down a lot of the city. thank you, patricia. it was hail, not snow. and that's the reflectivity. it's a lot quieter today. once the system went through late afternoon right there, that's what did it. and it caused all sorts of buzz on social media. 49 is the water temp at bodega bay and san francisco buoy. the coldest i've seen in a long time. the system is moving out rapidly. and now southern california and that's going to swing in a lot of thundershower activity. 30s and 40s on the temps.

parents, students prepare to travel to the state capitol. they moved forward on a proposal to raise the minimum age to buy rifles from 18 to 21. the same thing at the federal level. >> the president supports that. and we ought to give that a vote. >> that will be an uphill battle to say the least. and proposals for a ban on military style rifles are coming up short. an agreement on strengthening background checks. >> these standoffs have existed for a long time. >> reporter: the president who is backed by the nra brushed those concerns aside. >> there's nothing to be afraid of. and we have to fight them every once in a while, that's okay. >> still fighting the nra is

not easy. and there will certainly be legal challenges should congress decide to raise the minimum age. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. california lawmakers also taking action, proposing 10 new gun control bills. one would expand the definition of an assault rifle. and another would crack down on homemade ghost guns. and another would prevent people who have been convicted of domestic violence from owning ore possessing a gun. >> it's been said before, but the phrase thoughts and prayers has become an insult. it's up to all of us to lead. if the federal government is not going to lead if our colleagues with not going to lead, california needs to lead. >> the organization gun owners of california says the proposals are attacking law- abiding gun owners. we'll be getting an update

u.s. production of shale oil is very strong. and it's predicted that will push the u.s. past russian production levels. soaring u.s. production comes at a time when russia and the opec nations are cutting back on production as a way to keep crude oil prices high. the delta energy center in pittsburg went off line in january of last year due to a fire. the facility has been operating on and off while the repairs were made. they received approval to restart full operations. the one plant can generate enough electricity to fuel 100,000 homes. steve wozniak is a victim of bit coin scams. he said that at an economic summit in india.

to process the evidence in a single sexual assault kit. they want the crime lab to work more quickly and recommending that all sexual assault kits be processed within 30 days. it's important to process sexual assault kits quickly not only to ensure justice for victims of sexual crimes but to catch the criminals and prevent future assaults by offenders. how much will it cost? >> supervisor has told the district attorney's office to report back to the board next month to see what kind of resources it would need to enact the new policy and get through the backlog of 270 sexual assault kits. back to you guys. allie rasmus in san jose, thank you. the 19-year-old woman stabbed and left for dead outside livermore will be buried today. the alameda county sheriff's deputies say lizette cuesta

stayed alive long enough to tell police who stabbed her. the funeral will be at oak hill memorial park in san jose and the service starts at 11:00 this morning. the death of a suspect in gilroy is being investigated by the coroner's office. sunday night, gilroy police responded to a report of a suspicious person in the backyard of a home on chestnut street. the suspect, a 42-year-old gilroy man ignored demands to surrender and ran on the roofs of several homes. one witness heard the suspect fall. police made physical contact with him while he was on the ground. he acted violently, forcing them to use a taser and a restraint hold. he lost consciousness and died at the hospital. cal/osha is investigating the death of a landscaper in south san jose who was

electrocuted while trimming a tree. pablo gonzalez had the day off and took a side job with another company. he was 30 feet up, trimming an oak tree. he cut a tree limb and the limb fell with the front half hitting a power line. his family from mexico is being contacted. >> he was a great guy. he was calm. he was nice to everybody. he was a really nice guy, funny. >> his body was tankled in the -- tangled in the electrical wires for hours. first responders had to wait to turn off the power line before they could remove his body. 900 customers lost service. oakland mayor libby schaaf is being criticized for issuing

supervisors will meet and talk about a state report on how the county responded to the wildfires last october. >> the analysis found flaws in the system that prevented tens of thousands from being alerted about the emergency. alex savidge has more on what went wrong. >> reporter: good morning to you. a new state report highlights confusion and miscommunication on the part of sonoma county officials as they tried to warn people about fast moving fires last year. in the end, many people had no idea what was coming and dozens of people were killed in those fires. now, a new report from the california governor's office of emergency services finds sonoma county emergency staff did not do enough to issue evacuation orders to people in the path of the fires. the county issued alerts to 90,000 people. they did that through two

messages services, sew co alert and the nixel system. many didn't get the warnings. they are opt in messaging programs that you need to sign up for ahead of time. >> we need to do more than that. one of the things is that we need to look at the opt out programs rather than the opt in programs. >> reporter: and this state report is also critical of the decision by county officials not to use what's called the wireless emergency alert system as the fires were raging. that system sends out alerts to cell phones. it's similar to an amber alert. and emergency officials were worried about creating widespread panic. and that's why they did not issue the alerts. the state report recommends a number of changes to the county's response plan. and some of the changes are already in the works, and the

board of supervisors will be discussing the findings during their meeting which gets underway at their meeting in santa rosa. is your job creating problems at home. the careers most likely to lead to margin problems and divorce. >> >> and healthcare benefits got better for local tech workers. and how companies are spending the wind fall from the tax bill. why many will not be seeing a change in their paycheck. we have issues out there when it comes to the commute in the east bay and also on the peninsula. we'll run those down for you coming up. the only weather issues might be a little windy and cold. but at least it will be dry. there's an impressive system on the way starting wednesday night. more on that coming up.

avoid that scene. and chp may be blocking the off ramp. and i have other photos which i'll get up as soon as i can. this is where the accident is. and it's not affecting the freeway so much. it's visible but not blocking any lanes. and let's get rid of the overturned truck. 880 southbound is slow in milpitas. traffic is going to be slower than usual to 237. if you can use 680, that would save you time. sal, i told you once and i'm going to reinforce it. thursday morning you and i will be very busy. it's going to be raining hard. >> i'll be ready. >> yesterday we had thunderstorm activity and now we've seen it drift south but not before some very low snow levels. the wind has picked up for many. that's the key. rdm says cold breeze in tiburon.

incline village at 12. wendy and sunny as the system moves out. and the stage is set for the best system since early january or mid-november. it will start wednesday and go to thursday and then a series of systems coming through the low. and the best rainfall projections in a long, long time. and the snowfall will be in feet. no doubt about it. a major event for the sierra. upper 50s, low 60s. and clear and cold tonight. and clouds increase tomorrow. and rain starts in the evening and goes to thursday, and off and on friday and saturday. 6:52. park your car with piece of -- peace of mind. where you can leave your vehicle free of concern about what might happen to it. and jon stewart is holding his hid. more on the win of the warriors against the knicks and what they're doing today.

>> welcome back to mornings on 2. yesterday in houston, a recent fire drill paid off for a mother and her small children. their apartment building caught fire. you can see all of the flames coming from inside the building. the mother calmly hands her three children over the balcony railing to firefighters. the kids are four, six, eight. the mom, they all made it out safely. her 8-year-old daughter heard

the smoke alarm and woke everybody up. just last month she had talked her kids through a fire safety drill. in the apartment, all 16 units were destroyed but amazingly no one was hurt. the time is 6:56. work on the suicide net on the golden gate bridge is expected to begin this week. the steel needed to hold the net in place needs to be cut on oregon. since they agreed on a contractor to build the barrier in 2016, a lot of the work has been done off site but work will begin at the bridge in the middle of this year. the net will be gray, not red. it will blend in with the water and they hope to have it done

by 2021. governor brown sworn in stanley warren yesterday as the commissioner of the chp. he was sworn in just yesterday. the 56-year-old is one of the distinguished few to hold every position in the chp, from officer to commissioner. now stanley oversees the largest state agency in the country. the hyde parking structure is now open in downtown open land. you drive in, lock your car. and then the garage itself lifts your vehicle up to an empty stall. you don't have to worry about scratches, dents or car break- ins because only the technicians can go into the structure. it has room for 39 cars and is 7 stories tall. a traditional lot with the ramps and turns would need ten times that much space.
