Lets start with the weather and traffic this morning. Fog is back. The minute i hit oakland, i drove right through it. Wasnt there earlier. It came back quick. So we have some fog, not just inland but the coast and bay variety as well. Little unusual for february but its there. Another beautiful sunrise, patchy fog and high clouds. Little cooler coast and bay, inland temps still in the upper 60s to 70s. 6 52 a. M. , calm and clear, ill buy that. Fog back in the mix, some of that really thick. The end of the month is looking like it could be very wet, so enjoy this nice weather. Doesnt look like its going to last. 43 boulder creek, santa cruz 48, san josi 52. Partly cloudy skies and cooler at the coast and bay with the fog, and a hint of the on shore breeze. Not as warm as it was earlier in the week. Sal, i didnt know it was a holiday for some but you mentioned that. It is for some, lincolns birthday. Alameda county offices are closed and some others have been chiming in, so the traffic will be better for you. Its not completely light because not everyone has the day off. Backed up here at the toll plaza for about 15 minutes, but you can tell its light because if you look at 880, theres less volume.

Paramedics rushed to the scene but were unable to save the man. He was hit with such force that his body and the bike landed 60 yards away from each other. Police are not sure what caused the driver to hit the man, if he couldnt see him, or if alcohol was a factor. Any time youre by hit a vehicle, its a hard impact. If youre going faster, its a harder impact. It appears speed was a factor that caused the fatality. Reporter officers say its helpful that the suspect vehicle is a red honda del sol because they were only made for a specific time period. Its a twoseater with damage to it and if you have information, call police. You can do that anonymously. The identity of the victim has not been released and the only information is it appeared to be a middle aged man. The coroner will be contacting the next of kin.

Whats it like for you out there . Reporter well, out here its a deep water rig. We are in the middle of the ocean, pretty far out.

Back to the desk. It will be a tough day for san josi police, going back to the scene of a deadly hitand run crash this morning. They are looking for video of a car that hit and killed a bicyclist. Police are looking for a specific type of car. Reporter witnesses told police that the suspects vehicle was a red honda del sol. They feel that will help them narrow down the focus because its a specific type of car, only made for several years in the 90s. This camera on this business, it may have recorded video of the accident. I did go inside there in the last 30 minutes and the manager is not in yet, so the employees there werent sure what was captured on the video. But officers say just after midnight, the suspect vehicle was traveling northbound on winchester near hamilton and struck a man on a bike. He was hit with such force that the bike landed 60 yards away and that victim died at the scene. The car sped away but officers collected evidence, including debris from the vehicle. The speed limit here is 40 miles an hour and officers say he was definitely speeding. Its unknown if alcohol was a factor or if the bicyclist was in the bike lane. You can call police anonymously if you have information. I chicked with the coroner and they have not identified the victim yet. We were told he didnt have any id on him but that he was a middle aged latino man and doesnt appear to have been a transient. Time now 8 04. Turning to the San Francisco Police Shooting of mario woods and that investigation, a new autopsy report just released from the Medical Center shows he was shot or grazed 21 time, mostly in the back and thighs. Woods also had five injuries caused by bean bags officers fired at him. The toxicology report found meth, marijuana, antidepressants and cough syrup in his system. Police say woods stabbed a man last december and when the police confronted him, he was Still Holding a knife. They say he ignored repeated orders to put down the weapon. Several investigations are underway now including a review by the u. S. Justice department. With the competition just getting underway for the titans of mavericks surfing competition. Reporter we spoke with some competitors this morning as they were heading out and getting out into the water. They are all ready to go. We have not had mavericks for two years so its a big deal for it to be on again. We are at one of the many viewing parties here at Half Moon Bay, right outside Mavericks Surf Company here. The folks have a front row seat and theyre ready to go. Again, the competition about to get underway here any minute. Sir, you pulling for anybody in particular . Today no, just came out from sacramento to have some fun with my son. Reporter enjoy the whole spectacle of the fun. Lets take you to a chopper picture and show you what you can see about a half mile or so off the coast where we have 24 of the worlds best surfers getting ready to hop in the water and ride 20foot waves, they are expecting today. After two years, mavericks is a go once again. Competitors are excited to get back here. I think well have an amazing day. These guys, they have put a lot of effort in this, two years. We have to show what we can do. Conditions look good for the first half of the day. Second half might get a little bumpy or more challenging. Because of the size of the waves we have coming in, there are a lot of precautions being put in place. As we have mentioned many times before, nobody is allowed to go on to the bluffs there or onto mavericks beach. So essentially what you have, is no place to actually watch the competition from the shoreline, which is why we have all the various viewing parties happening here. Again, we are just outside the Mavericks Surf Company here where you can see the fans getting set to watch the competition as soon as it gets underway. If youre looking for a place to go watch the competition today, we have a full list at ktvu. Com. Thank you, talk to you later. Time 8 10. Things got hot last night during the debate for the democratic candidates. The key issue that had Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton fired up. Reporter good morning. How are you . Were getting ready for valentines day over the weekend, and we are at the San Francisco flower mart. Well talk about how busy its going to be and last minute ideas, coming up. And right now not a bad looking commute if youre driving almost anywhere. Lock at the toll plaza, the fog lifted and underneath there the traffic is light. The february Weather Forecast is coming up roses, unless youre stuck in the fog. Time now 8 13. Maybe youre Getting Office flowers on friday, saturday night date night flowers, then day of flowers on sunday. Thats a lot of flowers. It is. It will be a busy weekend at the flower shop. Brian flores is in the heart of the San Francisco flower mart with last minute ideas besides roses. Reporter thats right. I like the idea, flowers on friday, saturday and sunday. Slow down. I know. Reporter good morning, everybody. We have been here since 5 30 a. M. , definitely a busy day for the vendors here and people looking for flowers. It will be this way all day long. There are all keeps of flowers here at the flower mart. As you get closer to valentines day, the price of flowers will be increasing. Some are paying about 5 to 15 more than a typical day. Some say since valentines day falls on a sunday, it helps them out. Others say it hurts because the Flower Delivery Services are affected because they deliver to offices on a weekday. They are preparing for this rush and roses are great, but there are alternatives to other things as well, other flowers as well. I think a lovely bunch of long stems, cut it down and make it short, lasts two weeks. Lovely. You can just get it and it lasts forever. Anything but roses. Kind of have to time flowers out properly so they are still doing their things. I probably wont bo valentines day next year because monday is harder and coming off the weekend you dont want to do the rush. But its nice because people are ordering flowers all the way through the week. So you have time. The vendors also say last minute shoppers, they take care of the orders in place and buy a little extra. And this is not if busiest day for the flower vendors. Its actually mothers day, busier for them. Something else out here, San Francisco ranks number one in terms of the best places to celebrate valentines day according to wallhub, and fourth when it comes to how many flower shops there are as well. Back to you. Didnt know that. Thank you.

Digging into heartshaped treats, these otters at the sea paradise aquarium. This otter is showing off for the guests and digging in. Im guessing its something. I thought it was watermelon. I thought it was a frozen block of ice with a fish or something in the middle. Then the animals love it and so do the visitors. This is a gorgeous picture out there and could it have been painted any prettier . This is the scene high above the titans of mavericks surf competition, which was supposed to get underway at 8 00 but its not started yet. We are still trying to find out why. We dont know if it was due to surf conditions. Bill martin is on a boat heading out and the water was calm, but he said thats what you expect to head off the shore to get to the spot. Well try and find out why the delay, only about 18 minutes delayed. 24 contestants from around the world here at Half Moon Bay, all amped up. Bill is there with the wet suit and duffel bag, so if he breaks it out, dont be surprised. Sal is watching our commute. How does it look . The traffic is going to be busy if youre driving in some areas but its been a great day. A friend of mine said, im working from home. I think some people are doing that. This is 880 northbound past the coliseum, not as bad as it normally is. Some people have the day off because of lincolns birthday, and its going to be a little better than normal today. If youre going into the city or in the east bay as well. Traffic is going to be slow from walnut creek to danville. If youre in that little commute, its not the best for you. Once you get to san ramon it will pick up. People tweet me saying, can sal play this . I say, please tweet the man. This is how it goes. We have way too many requests for me to play all of them. We choose some. It doesnt mean we dont appreciate you. Were not ignoring you. We just dont have time. We have some nice conditions for some, very foggy for others. Well focus on a couple locations here. First of all, the fog came in and it was thick. About 4 00 in the morning, very early, then office all over oakland, then around the bay, parts of San Francisco. Now were getting reports of fog here in daly city this morning. Dangerous driving on skyline and john daly. See, when i drop in for a tweet or something, i have to save it. If you dont save it, the old one shows up. I was going to show you a picture of the fog in richmond. Monday ray okay but not as warm as earlier in the week. Still not bad but again, its cooler. Partly sunny and cooler for some. We had one record yesterday and that was oakland airport, 74 degrees. Lasted about 10 minutes but that was to tie the record high. Today i dont think so. 60s around the bay and looks like rain returns next thursday. I want to see that picture again. We just found out fog is delaying the mavericks competition. It was sunny there a half hour ago. Its not just the coast. Coast fog is nebraska is a little unusual. Some of that is starting to move in. We wondered why. Now we know. What sort of a timeline . I dont think this will last very long. It will lift probably. By the coast it could be sunny one minute and fog not far away. I think its only patchy. Thank you. Again, this is a live picture over the scene of the mavericks surf competition that was supposed to start at 8 00. Its being delayed due to heavy fog but we have bill martin out there and the example addition will be live streamed at ktvu. Com. If youre not able to be there, check in with us.

A group of california lawmakers want to stop potential employers from asking how much applicants make.

In a few minutes well have meteorologist bill martin to help us understand how the weather is affecting the start of competition. Well be right back. We have a close shot of surfers paddling out there. Bill martin is out on a boat in the middle of it all. Lets talk about the fog and the fact that its delaying the competition. Whats happening out there, bill . Reporter a lot of nothing right now. We have a funky wind on the water and its blowing the fog in. You know we have a little delay, but a lot of boats out here. I dont think ive ever seen more boats out here or more people. It is definitely a rough sea out here. Ive seen swells going 15 to 20. Coast guard buoys are coming up 15, 20 seconds. Its getting the tide to match up but its a buzz of activity out here. Its all good out here, just kind of waiting for things to happen. You can tell the worlds eyes are out here, many choppers, many boats, many accents. And the most impressive thing, i look up the coast and looking at waves breaking miles offshore. The swell is present and its actually growing. Ill check the buoys this hour. I think its coming up here and should be pretty significant. The contests website says they have just officially started. So the wind appears to have blown off all that dangerous fog. Is that a concern for the surfers or the cameras out there . What is it about the fog . Reporter the biggest thing is the fog isnt really the issue, more of a static thing. They like to get chopper shots. Its mostly the side shore wind. We have a bit of a side shore wind. That makes it harder. When the waves come in, you need it smooth when you talk off. Its like water skiing on a bumpy day, a lot more difficult. So if the wind backs down a little bit, it will smooth out the wave faces and and make it easier for the surfaces. The connell contest is underway and now we are circling, kind of on the backside here. I can see them off in the distance, waiting for a set. Bill, since you know a lot of these guys personally, are you pulling for anybody in particular or a couple guys in particular . Kind of. I mean, these are all good dudes. Some of them have to work tomorrow, coming in and sleeping on couches out here. These are regular guys. So alex martin, i surfed with a lot of years and id love to see him do well. He got one of the biggest waves last year. I like them all. Im so impressed with them because like you go, do you surf . This is a whole different deal. Its big, gnarly, deep, cold. You know, i like it warm and sunny and, you know. So yeah, i think its a lot of luck too. Like i was saying, what makes this unique is if Mother Nature dishes you the right wave, you could win the whole thing. You dont even have to be the beseecher fer. Its a little bit of Mother Nature meets preparation. We are watching incredible live pictures of the competition. Reporter it is scary. I know tim is out here, doing some of the water rescue. Saw them getting on the boats at sunup. Hes dead serious, you know, not game time out here. The captains of the ships an boats out here, its game faces on, kind of like that to some extent. Its serious business. As we get ready to go, steve just told us the waves are 10 to 19 feet every 13 seconds. 10 to 13 every 19 seconds. That sound right, bill . Yeah. So it was 13 in 18 seconds this morning. So the buoy is clicking up. I think its supposed to peak around 2 00 today. So well see. Definitely the waves are here. You can see them out there. When this tide gets to the right spot, theyll have a hell of a contest. Bill, real quick, doesnt look like the fog is going to last long, like its already sunny to the south. Look like that to you . Reporter yeah, im looking at it right now. I can see the fog bank. Its been kind of sheared off because of these winds. And the fog is breaking away around by john pigeon point. So i think so. Bill martin, always a pleasure to have you. Keep watching. Well check back with you a little bit later. Back to steve now. We talked about how it was sunny south of where he is and look at that. Fog on the coast in february doesnt happen often. If it was may or june, i would say sold out. Inland fog, some of that fog around alameda, its been super thick. Its just not showing up. The satellite doesnt kick in for about a half hour or so. You can see some of this has made it in but its not widespread. Sunshine and nice temperatures and a mix of high clouds. Beautiful foster city, so fog and sun and clouds, cool to mild. High clouds mild to warm, higher clouds coming up from the west southwest. Overall its 30s, few low 40s and a lot of 50s here. Were going to be in the mix here for a lot of high to mid level clouds and patchy fog saturday. Sunday looks better. It will be cooler by the water but upper 60s and low 70s. If youre taking bart, there was a problem. Someone thought it would be funny to jump in front of a train and bart police dont see that as funny, went down there and tried to remove the person. Hes gone but the trains had to stop all over the system. Thats why the trains are delayed about 10 minutes now. We have pictures, east shore freeway here. Traffic is not too bad. It looks okay coming up to the area. Bay bridge toll plaza, you can see traffic looks okay. This is a look at the san mateo bridge, no major problems there. Northbound 101 in san josi, slow traffic from 280 to 880. Lets go back to the desk. Now to developing knew, a double shooting at a high school near phoenix, arizona. We have pictures from our station there. This is from their website at Independence High School in glendale, west of phoenix. The shooting happened about 90 minutes ago. Police say the two victims are teenagers and their conditions are not known. Authorities are saying this is an isolated incident and say it is not an active shooter situation. But still you can see the upset here on this womans face, some tense and scary moments even though police appear to be trying to calm people. We dont have any word of an arrest as a result of the shooting. That school has more than 2,000 students and it was on lockdown. You can see a lot of upset parents rushing to their childs school. This is an isolated incident, the students and neighborhood not at risk here. Well stay on top of this and bring you more as soon as we get it. Richmond is mourning today as residents deal with the shooting death of a veteran Police Officer. A lot of people talking about officer gus vegas, shot not on the job but in his home yesterday morning. We are talking about officers in fairfield, richmond, vallejo all working together and mourning the loss of gus vegas. He was killed by the father of his 6yearold grandson, who was inside the home at the time of the shooting. The really a big loss for the community. Thank you. Time is 8 44. We are learning more about the Human Remains Found on wednesday outside gilroy. Pg e contractors working on power lines spotted a human skull in the brush. That discovery raised the possibility the remains may belong to see carrera lamar, the 15yearold from morgan hill who disappeared in march of 2012. Investigators say it was not sierra. The skull had a distinctive tooth with a gold cap. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders debated for the First Time Since sanders won the New Hampshire primary. Clinton stressed her ties to president obama. The kind of criticism that weve heard from senator sanders about our president , i expect from republicans. I do not expect from someone running for the democratic nomination to succeed president obama. Madame secretary, that is a low blow. The candidates are looking ahead to nevada and South Carolina, where latino and africanamerican voters play a greater role. I want to tackle those barrier that is stand in the way of too Many Americans right now, africanamericans who face discrimination in the job market, education, and the criminal justice system. Today a male African American baby born today stands a one in four chance of ending up in jail. That is beyond unspeakable. The nevada caucuses are a week from tomorrow and the democratic primary in South Carolina is a week after that. For the republicans, the next primary is set for South Carolina. Trump took a victory lap in South Carolina where hes hoping for another win. Jeb bush is hoping strong support can save his campaign. Time is 8 46. Office romances may seem like a bad idea but it happens more than you think. What it tells us about love in the workplace. And what could valentines day be without whats on the screen now, chocolate. Whats happening that may affect the price youll pay for chocolate this weekend. And a look live above the mavericks competition happening now in Half Moon Bay. Well keep following coverage throughout mornings on 2. Yes, the original hello by lionel richie. Well have more love songs on the 9. Hit me up on social media. It is you i was looking for. If your valentine likes chocolate, youre going to pay more for it this year. Pam cook is back in the studio with the economics of one of the sweets. Most of the worlds cocoa supply comes from west africa, which is facing a fungus and severe limit change affecting supply. As for demand, it is up around the world and growing in new markets as well such as china. Analysts predict sales in china will grow to 4. 03 in the next three years. An American Company set to benefit from that is hershey, sales already up in china and recently acquired a majority share in a chinese candy maker. Demand hit and alltime high last year. There are some companies that you can invest in, some that are publicly traded. Hershey is one of the top in the business along with nestli and mars. Of course ghirardelli, another San Francisco native, owned by International Company lindt. Some of the big games are now announcing investments in improving the situation for the chocolate crops. Hershey, mars and the company that making cadbury chocolate are spending about a billion dollars on projects to support Sustainable Farming practices and research of the cocoa business. They all have a vested stake in this, helping out farmers as well. Thank you. Lets go back to sal and check the commute right now. How is it looking . Okay, dave. We are looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, traffic moving pretty well. If youre driving here, its cleared up nicely at the toll plaza. We dont have a lot of delay. And i880 traffic is moving slowly. Southbound a little slow toward highway 92. If youre driving this morning in the south bay, we did get a little slow traffic there on northbound 101 and 880. Steve . Big story this morning was the fog, not just inland but coast and bayside. It did delay mavericks for a bit but thats clearing out. Across the bay, looking like theres a lifting a little bit. Didnt look like it was going to stick around but its still there. Fog, season, clouds, cool to mild. There will be patchy fog but usually this time of year i wouldnt think it would last long. 40s and 50s on the temps with the higher clouds that will be with us today and tomorrow. It looks mild but cooler for saturday and sunday. Temperatures will be in the 50s. For us 60s and 70s on some of the temps and cooler by the coast with some of that fog.
