Today providing so much sunshine and then suddenly we head into this weekend and with some more unsettled weather in the forecast for us. But on the this morning. Its clear as can be and widespread throughout the bay area. All the way over into san jose too where were taking a live look right behind me. Waking up this morning and head outdoor just be ready for sunshine and temperatures sitting a little bit above average today. Ill show you those in just a minute. We have a couple of passing showers for our saturday forecast. Heading into sunday. Then were talking about some steadier rain thats going to roll in through the afternoon hours lasting into evening hours too. Then by early next week more unsettled weather right around the corner. So basically, enjoy the day that we have today. Because once we head into this afternoon, were talking about some of the warmest temperatures weve seen all week. Were talking about plenty of sunshine and light wind along the coastline unlike yesterday. Were going to see the passing showers kind of sweep throughout the morning throughout San Francisco. So if you are thinking of heading the giants fan fest just keep in mind grabbing ability umbrella is not a bad idea. The saturday evening forecast we clear up little bit gearing up for some heavier rain rolling in on sunday. Im going to time that out for you. Right now though on futurecast things are looking pretty mild until Early Saturday Morning up in the north bay lasting into the afternoon hours all the way down into the Santa Clara Valley. Were going to see a splash of showers there too. More on that coming up in bit. For now over to you, g. Thank you, jess. Lets talk about the freeways and hey friday. Happy you are here and happy that the roadways are reflective of that friday light travel conditions. Heading over into San Francisco. Looking pretty good right now. Lets hope it stays that way. Great start on the bay area bridges. San mateo bridge great in both directions and look at the freeways showing green and that means good because speeds above 55 miles per hour. Really on all of the bay area freeways a little slow into the Altamont Pass but a thats to be expected. But not too bad as you work your way westbound heading over towards that area near the dublin interchange. And south bay commuters, good morning to you. If you are up early getting out the door, no delays or any issues to slow you down. Mr. Speaker, the president of the United States. [ cheering and applause ] and with that, President Joe Biden entered the chambers of a divided congress as millions of us watched his annual state of the Union Address last night. So lets set this up. The speeches are always laced with strategy. Its an Election Year. Keep that in mind and what the president says sets the stage for what he and his opponent in the race to the white house will debate in the coming months. So lets talk about the issues. The economy, threats to democracy, and the balancing act between support for israels right to defend itself and the war in gaza killing innocent people. And the president did not hold back from the issue that some call the elephant in the room. His age. Listen. In my career, i have been told i was too young. [ laughter ] by the way they didnt let me on the senate elevators for votes sometimes. Not a joke and ive been told im too old. Whether young or old i have always known what endures. So lets talk about the counterpoint to the president s speech. And the topic of age from her kitchen in alabama, senator katie britt delivered the republican response. Saying that biden is what she calls a diminished leader and really teed up what you can expect will be the republican talking points in the race to the white house. Heres that. America deserves leaders who recognize that secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a Strong Defense are actually the cornerstones of a great nation. Well, also perhaps some strategy revealed there. While President Biden mentioned his predecessor 13 times, he did not mention donald trump by name. So coming up were going to ask an expert about the strategy of the speech and also whats ahead in the race to the white house. Thats coming up at 30 in the morning. And good morning to those of you waking up in San Francisco looking live at city hall right now. Beautiful and lit up. Thats where mayor breed tried to shape the narrative about San Francisco in her state of the city address. Like the president breed also faces opponents who want her out of office. Her response is a plan for major changes in the city by 2030 and in set a six year clock to revitalize downtown. Downtown cant just be about jobs. It cant just be the 9 to 5 financial district. We also need more people to live and study there. So our new initiative, 30 by 30. 30,000 more residents and students downtown by 2030. A comprehensive plan for a dynamic resilient downtown with residents night life and businesses. A neighborhood that keeps going around the clock. Downtown 24 7. Former San Francisco mayor mark ferrell who is challenging breed offering counterpoint to her words and plans saying san franciscans have lost faith in her ability. The city he says needs a mayor with a track record of effective leadership inside and outside of city hall. Nicole . Well, heres a look at some of orator top stories. A scary incident at sfo. Where a giant tire came crashing down on some cars after suddenly falling off of a departing plane. This is the tire going down the runway. Somebody lost a tire. Just after united flight 35 took off after 11 30 yesterday morning a camera captured the moment that one of the planes rear tires fell off. The boeing 777 was heading to japan with 249 passengers and crew and United Airlines says the plane could land safely with a missing or damaged tire. The decision was made to reroute to l. A. X. Where it landed safely and then a new plane took the passengers to japan. Back at sfo, they had to deal with some Collateral Damage because the tire fell straight from the sky and on to a couple of cars in an employee parking lot. See eel e fell off from where . Off a plane and lands here. What the [ bleep ]. I mean, i was so lucky man. Because yeah. Just two cars away im almost the one. Incredibly lucky there. William was parked just two slots away as he said from the car that was crushed. And thankfully, nobody was in it at the time. No word on why the wheel fell off. But we do know that this particular jet has been in service for more than 20 years. Gianna . Wow. To berkeley now, some parents who have been calling for more security at cal are now putting up their own money up front to provide it as they raise tens of thousands of dollars to put private guards on patrol. Along the south side of campus where the dorms are. Now weve been following crime concerns at uc berkeley just a few weeks ago a man fired a gun in the air on campus. On lower sprout plaza. Forcing students to run for cover and shelter in place. Our Andrea Nakano spoke with the student who has been wanting to see a change after being robbed at gunpoint. Reporter the security guards will be out here from 6 30 at night to 3 00 in the morning to patrol three main dorm buildings and the surrounding area. Parents in the group called safe bay area say this is long overdue but some wonder if this will really make a difference to make streets safer. Rebecca has been studying at cal since 2018. At first, it felt like normal life on campus. Until recently. And i parked in my driveway as i was out locking the door two people approached me from behind. One came to the passengers seat and they pointed a gun at me and told me to get out of the car. Reporter rebecca has been robbed not once, but twice offcampus. She asked us to protect her identity by concealing her face. The robbers told her personal belongings and her car but they took something much greater, her shot at a normal college life. Yeah, and i feel like when im walking the streets im always scared and always looking around when i get in and out of cars. Always running to my car and lock it immediately. Not really a sustainable lifestyle anymore. Reporter it isnt a concern for just students. Parents like him who has twin boys at cal took matters into their own hands. The fact is a if theyre not going to act despite repeated entrities from parents and parents as well to take more substantial action, then were going to act. Were going to do what needs to be done to keep our families safe. Reporter parent group safe bears raised 40,000 to hire these private security guards to patrol near Campus Housing on bikes and on foot for the next few weeks. After that, the hope is that the university will take over. We want to frankly turn up the heat. With the administration. We want to show were not content to wait forever to have the safety ambassadors deployed. Reporter the patrols are not armed but they have radios and are trained to deescalate conflicts and call police if necessary. I guess i just wonder like what their approach is supposed to be if suddenly like someone appeared like out of the blue. Like i dont know. Like what proactive measures like theyre ready to take. I like the Campus Security officers. Because i know that like theyre there to make students feel safe bull i dont think we need additional security. Reporter rebecca hopes it will help other students avoid being victimized like she was. But says its just a start. I think there are actions that can be taken at multiple levels. At the university level, at the city level and state level. Time right now 5 11 in the morning. Supercharged snowstorms. Are they the new normal for a changing planet . Well dig deeper into the deep snow and what it means in project earth ahead. And powerhouse women with Shawn Chitnis this morning. Good morning, shawn. Reporter hey reed, good morning.
