Some fans believe the city may be asking for too much. Thats pushing a little hard, i think. Reporter the as have also been negotiating with sacramento and Salt Lake City as their temporary home.

And in order for the as to build a ballpark in vegas, that city has to say goodbye to an iconic hotel on the strip.

The airport is considering a plan to change its name to San Francisco Bay International airport, but it turns out sfo just is not having it. The Oakland Airport says the name change could boost more direct flights to the airport, but the leadership at sfo says that change will probably just make travelers confused. Our concern is that you might have travelers that are thinking theyre booking a trip to one airport and when they land they realize theyre arriving at a completely different airport than they intended. The port of oakland is set to consider that name change next week. And this is important to note, people sometimes mix up the mineta san jose airport which has call letters sjc, with the airport sjo but oakland says the call letters, oak, would stay the same. Tonight three people are recovering after a shooting in American Canyon. It happened near the safeway at danrose and American Canyon road around 5 30 this evening. Video at the scene shows a car with bullet holes in the window. Police have two people in custody but say theyre still trying to figure out what exactly led up to the shooting. The Pleasanton Police Department Shared a story so unbelievable they had to clarify that it isnt an april fools joke. They got a strange delivery last week from a man who says he was going through his garage when he found something collecting dust inside. They were three hand grenades, and they were live, so Pleasanton Police said the bomb squad had to destroy them. Thankfully, nobody there got hurt. Across the bay in San Francisco, one of our producers saw a group of thieves ransacking a walgreens and decided to hit record. As Juliette Goodrich reports, the cameras did not stop them. Reporter on Easter Sunday, this brazen group grabbing what they please, wearing hoodies and carrying bags and backpacks, they went up and down the aisles, stealing merchandise. There is a Security Camera inside the store and a kpix employee was taking this video but this group didnt seem to care. And it was just like an ambush, base clichlt thats pretty much it. It was that quick. Reporter our produce who are took this video didnt want to be identified but described what happened. Took me about three seconds to pull my phone out and started videoing or filming and they just had no care at all. Were you concerned even standing in their way taking video e . No, i mean, its San Francisco, ill still kind of immune to it at this point. What was the reaction of the employees during and after . They did nothing. Basically. They just i think theyre also probably immune to it. Again, its that area, market and civic center, i think theyre uses to smashandgrabs in that area. Especially the walgreens and cvss. I think theyre taught not to do anything. Reporter sal is a vendor and goes into this store and others weekly. They think its a free all. You can grab and go as you please. Have you been working in the store when thats happened . I see it often. Reporter when i walked in this particular walgreens, there is a video camera. Theres a Security Guard today. Is that not enough . No, its never enough. Reporter we showed San Francisco board of supervisor matt dorsey this video. He lives just a few blocks away from the walgreens and shops there. He points to San Franciscos police staffings crisis. If we had a fully staffed police department, we could have a robbery unit that was doing more enforcement around places where retail theft plays out, holding more people accountable, and doing more to go after the fencing operations and, you know, the kinds of operations that make this lucrative. Reporter how did you feel when it was happening and then after when you had the video . I was in shock. Angry. You know, because i live in San Francisco, and you know, this is you hear about this stuff and see it happening all the time. The city, as weve reported, has toyed with a lot of different strategies to stop organized crime. Hundreds of people stranded after a part of an iconic Northern California highway just crumbled into the sea. And in the meantime, it was sunny and 70 degrees today. And if you like that and want more, theres another day like it coming tomorrow. Make the most of tomorrow because by the middle of the week were going back into winter. Theres another system coming with more rain, but its also really going to do a number on temperatures. Were going to look at the drop coming up in just a bit. And later in sports, best College Player who can shoot the rock. And whoa, she was on display tonight. Her name is Caitlin Clark, and she just shot her way to another final four. They risk injury and embarrassment but almost every year san franciscans turn out in droves for this. Crashed on turn three. I crashed on turn four. I flipped over on turn seven. Matt lively hit the streets to find out who had the baddest of the big wheels. Tonight matt damon takes the colbert questionnaire. Plus, hannah wad this van just hit me out of nowhere. I thought i was dead. After the accident, i was in a lot of pain and i decided that i needed to get an attorney because i could not work. I called Jacoby Meyers they had their own dream team for every need, every area. They took care of me like a queen. I would recommend you call Jacoby Meyers they really went to bat for me. Welcome back. Well, from the sky you can clearly see there is no way that this is safe. That is a huge chunk missing out of highway 1 near big sur. It crumbled over the weekend just south of rocky creek bridge. The highway is closed and caltrans has been shuttling people back and forth, some who have been stuck on one side of the highway and just cant get back to their neighborhoods or their homes, but with more rain on the way, those convoys, and importantly, the repairs could be delayed. Crews have to install hundreds of feet of concrete barriers just so the repairs can be done safely. And as far as rain goes, darren, it seems like that could be the reality for whats in our future . Its the reality. Coming in on thursday. There are several different aspects to this change, sara, and the most important part maybe for most of us is tomorrow is just as nice as today. Sunny and 70. So if youre enjoying this, and who wouldnt be, you get one more day. Its going to be fantastic. There are subtle changes that are going to happen between now and thursday which clue us into the fact that things are changing. Heres the first one. This is tomorrow morning. We come in for a closeup look here. The petaluma gap sits just north of point reyes. Theres a low spot in the hills back there which you can see tomorrow morning the marine layers going to fill in. It wont be too widespread, wont last long, the same thing through the golden gate tomorrow. Thats pretty minimal. If you dont get up until 9 00 in the morning, youll miss it. Wednesday you wont. Watch what happens on wednesday. Wednesday morning were all going to wake up, and its going to be may gray. The marine layers going to fill in pretty much the entire bay. That was strong onshore flow, and those clouds wont last long either, but higher clouds will stick around all day wednesday. So tomorrows the last sunny and 70. Wednesday it already gets noticeably cloudier, about 10 degrees cooler and windy. Watch what happens wednesday night. Strong onshore winds start to pick up. Were going to have 40mileanhour gusts on the coast. So wednesday, 10 degrees cooler, bit cloudier, and windy in the evening. And just to see whats coming our way for the big thursday cooldown and rain, look at the big pool of cold air up there in the arctic. Here we are. So were looking at temperatures in the atmosphere. Kind of tough to get oriented. Thats the gulf of alaska, and thats cold air spilling down to us. Its going to get here on thursday. So a couple of things to look another first before we get into the timing of the rain. Lets just do a little comparison on temperatures, because as we mentioned, tomorrow you get another day where many of the inland valleys are in the low 70s. Theres your preview of what really will be a fantastic tuesday. Weve got to say goodbye to that now. Heres how much cooler youre going to be by thursday. A lot of these numbers are like 20 degrees cooler. Let me just put the actual temperature on who are. Whereas weve got this on low 70s tomorrow, nobody gets out of the mid and upper 50s by the time we get to thursday. So that might be one of the more noticeable impacts here. Lets get into the details on the rain, and well time out that system as it approaches. You see that right there. Okay, so weve got a nice little band of rain sitting off the coast by thursday. It really doesnt get here until the middle of the day. So right here were taking a look at like noon to 1 00. At this point, mid thursday is the most noticeable timeframe for the rain. Widespread, steady rain through the middle of the day on thursday. And then and if youve been following along, i bet you know where this is going. On friday its going to turn into sdaterred on again off again showers with occasional thunderstorm, just like so many of the systems have done so far this winter. So were a little early on the forecast models here where were not really picking out a lot of High Resolution detail, but the general play through is going to be the same. When we look at this again tomorrow, were going to start seeing that pattern thursday and friday. Most of the rain is coming thursday, but there will still be some scattered showers on friday. And yes, some of those could come in the form of thunderstorms. Its not a major rainstorm, but its rain, and its going to be close to an inch in the north bay, maybe about 0. 3 of an inch in the south bay. Its going to snow in the sierra. Pretty low. Were going to get close to a foot at the higher elevations. When we look at the closeup view at i80 and highway 50, those are the two ways across that we would all care about near the bay area if you got to travel. Theres almost a foot of snow up there. And snow level down to about 3,500 feet. So thursday and friday were going to go through the same drill. A winter storm warning up there, chains are required, and theres going to be admonishments that if you dont have to go, you might want to put it off. Weve been through much worse than that so far this winter, but that is still enough to make driving up there unpleasant thursday and friday. You can see that rain here, theres one more back here on sunday. Doesnt look super impressive on that sunday system, but theres a chance as we go into sunday an entirely separate system comes in with another chance of rain. Well have more of that as we get closer to it. And the other thing that stands out, which is why were doing two sevenday, 75 degrees for inland valleys tomorrow. By thursday it is low 50s. That is a daytime high. All right, sara, back to you. With all of the drama with the as and the plans to relocate to vegas, its leaving behind some collateral damage, not just here at home in the bay but on the strip. In just a few minutes, an iconic vegas hotel is closing its doors for good to make way for the as new stadium. Mark strassmann shows us its another piece of old las vegas left in the dust. In las vegas itself, the tourist doesnt have far to go for entertainment. Reporter 1957 a vigilant regard for human liberty. Reporter ike was president , elvis was king, and the new tropicana hotel, the tiffany of the strip, kicked up a fuss for vegas show girls and suave secret agents. I here the Hotel Tropicana is quite comfortable. Reporter for decades, the t r poshgs braulths in the famous trop brought in the famous and the infamous. Tourists got bored, the money moved on. And in new vegas, old vegas often ends up here. A graveyard of gloried signage. Some time this fall with a howl and a roar, the tropicana will become another spectacular vegas implosion. The latest prime spot on the strip to collapse into an aft thought. I thought tropicana always would be here. Reporter impressionist rich little has played vegas since the rat pack 60s. It was mainly single acts. You know, like frank, dean, and sammy. Reporter and headlined the tropicanas comedy club for the last eight years. Ill be sad when they blow it up, you know. I hope im not on the stage at the time. Reporter also wistful, barbara, a costume specialist. It was jumping. It was booming at the time. Reporter and a tropicana employee since 1978. Youre sad its closing, but you get it. Its really nothing they can do to build this place back up except tear it down and build it back up. Reporter replace it with this, a 1. 5 billion baseball stadium, the new home of the relocating oakland as. Ballys has big plans for the rest of the tropicana property too but wont show its cards. Bet on something audacious, its vegas, baby. Watch out, drag racers, its time to bring in the big wheels. Matt lively shows us the San Francisco tradition that is sure to inspire. Inspire you to stock up your first aid kit, at least. Vern . Just a few games in, and would you believe the bigs has produced its first nohitter tonight. And giants at dodgers. First of 13 games between the two is in the books. How can you not head bob on music lithat well, like this. We got to talk baseball. Okay, sure. Its a long season. Uhhuh. Were early on, and i guess the good news and bad news is its too early to tell much about anything with any team. I need 25, 30 games to get a barometer reading on it. But boy, the dodgers tonight, the first four batters in the lineup accounted for five rbi in the game. Whoa. Dodgers, bout it tonight. Hello, shohei ohtani. Hes a dodger now. Hot hitting michael conforto, lets start with him. He continued to swing a torrid bat. A top ten blast to get San Francisco on the board. L. A. Led 31. Yet in the bottom of the inning, tyler rogers served up teoscar hernandez, increased the dodgers lead to 61. Trying to do the same thing in the seventh. Wilmer flores, twoout single, brought home a run, but jorge soler tagged out to end the inning. San francisco left ten on base. L. A. Went on to win, final of 83. The giants drop to 23 for the year, and by the way, the as did lose to the red sox 90. What a night for astros pitcher blanco against the blue jays. He had seven strikeouts, but this was the out he needed. A ground ball out for the majors first nohitter of the season. What a week. The 30yearold and his wife just had their second child. He found out at the 11th hour that he had made the team. Then he goes out and gets the 17th nono in franchise history. And he got to go home and help change diapers. It was the first win of the season for the astros. Transition to elite eight play and the womens ncaa tournament. The talk is Caitlin Clark. Endorsements lined up for the iowa star.

The number one overall seed, south carolina, drew nc state. Thats the team that took out stanford. South carolina, 360. I mean, this is such a great time for Womens College basketball. Great time for womens sports, period. Womens sports period, but Caitlin Clark is unreal. He actually came over to my december income the newsroom and was like did you see whats going on . Everyones stopped, shes shooting from beyond nba range. It was really cool to see that. Im glad you told me. When that ball leaves her hand, like steph curry, you think its going in.

People have been coming to potrero hill on easter for the bring your own big wheel event, as you know, for two decades.

People flip over backwards all the time this. Guy flipped over backwards. It was great. Reporter the walk up the hill forces you to look at the course, and its, well, a bit of an anxiety ridden experience. I heard all these little kids go down right now. Im low key kind of terrified now. I was practicing on a little steep hill yesterday, but i dont know. Reporter how fast is it actually going down . It feels like a,000 miles an hour. But its probably like, what, three from the outside. Looks like its going real slow, but in it, hairs blowing in the wind, my little tassel waving behind me. Reporter participants come decked out in costume. They said just brake with your feet, a lot. And i didnt really is shoes for that, so im wearing shoes that are three sizes too big. Reporter show me the seat belts on this thing, where is it . Right here. You know what im saying . Just put the feet up like this. Reporter theres no way youre getting that seat belt on. Oh, yeah. Reporter the event has survived two plus decades, and its clear the most dedicated wouldnt miss it for the world. What on earth possesses you to do this . What else is there to do on an Easter Sunday . Reporter go to church or something, i dont know . Whats that . Oh.
