You said it ruined your frees right. Oh my gosh, i have knee problems at the age of 27. I have to see a doctor for it because of rucking. But yes, lets take a quick look at whats going on outside on a day like today. Exercise is great. Dont get me wrong. I love running in the bay especially in San Francisco because it stays a little bit cooler. When you start to warm up you still feel like the nice cool breeze. Now off in the east bay, into the Santa Clara Valley we go, were waking up to a little bit of the haze and were going to see warmer and drier conditions down there. So if you are run in the Sacramento Valley the Santa Clara Valley, its going to be a lot warmer for us as we head into this afternoon. But all the way over into the Sacramento Valley, i want to highlight this too. They are under a wind advisory and that actually extends all the way into Solano County. One of the wetter headlines for us today. Breezy conditions are expected for us heading into this afternoon near Solano County. And then it dies down in the evening hours tonight. But other than that all of us were experiencing warm dry weather lasting throughout today, tomorrow and into our friday forecast. Once we head into this weekend, well, a chance of showers returns into the bay area as early as saturday. So windy conditions today and dry conditions today and ill have more on this coming up in a bit. For now over to you, g. Thank you, jess. Lets talk about the roadways right now. Because were seeing that traffic backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. No surprise here 6 00 in the morning and usually gets slow in the city. Metering lights were turned on right around 5 30 this morning. So sluggish conditions there. And its pretty sluggish across the upper deck heading into San Francisco. Now look at the approaches. Look at the map here. If you are taking westbound 80, that is just a little slow out of hercules into richmond. But other than that, we are not finding too many issues out there on the roadways. So off to a pretty good start. Travel timeslikely looking pretty good for the most part with the exception of the altamont pass. I can tell you this. You are down to about 11 Miles Per Hour if you are taking that ride out of tracy getting on to 580. Typical commute there. But our travel times look great. In fact, on highway 4, 34 minutes from antioch to 80. And 101 out of the south bay, right now you are Holding Steady with some good news there. And how about some good news for commuters who use the Ferry Service . Its up and running again between sausalito and San Francisco. The golden gate Ferry Service was suspended on the 19th after damage was spotted on one of the four pillars of the sausalito pier. It was declared safe after repairs were completed. This morning we have our eyes on what appears to be escalation in Police Response. So far bay area protests seeing no arrest but down south in los angeles, you see what happened overnight. These are riot police at ucla. Were watching this one closely as they promise to clear a clash between pro palestinian and pro israeli protesters. Protesters are letting off fireworks and theyre shining lights at each other and even lasers at each other. This escalation interrupting students ability to dudty for finals. Theyre blocking campus for some students. Its wild to witness firsthand. Its gotten out of hand. Its gotten to the point where i cant even go to my classes. I cant study in the library. And its its dangerous. So heres where we stand this morning. University officials have taken the step to declare encampments unlawful and issued a written order to protesters to vacate. And the next step police power versus protesters. So were going to watch this one closely. Well have any updates for you throughout the morning. Now on the other side of the united states, after below zero barricaded themselves behind broken glass and furniture at Columbia University. Look at this. Riot police in a helmets and a ladder to get into the building. Their job is do clear the building and last night we understand more than 200 were arrested and face potential charges of burglary for the breakins and theres going to be a lot of ramifications in new york. Were also getting a glimpse into Police Tactics and you see right there. New york police using ladders to get into the second floor of that building from an armored vehicle. About 50 officers we counted climbed that latter into the second floor of one building and then you see right there on their hips every one of them has zip ties there. And also carrying riot shields and at one point they had such difficulty they had to use flash bang grenades to get into the building. One of the demand you often hear at the protests is the accusation that universities divest from companies that do business with israel. So what are the connections between campuses and israel is the narrative true . Coming up in a half hour live to new york and talk to our cbs partners who are watching closely and reporting live from right outside Columbia University in response to the Police Response to protesters. Its time now for a look at this mornings other top stories. Were expecting to see various gaza focused protests breaking out around the bay area for may day. One in the east bay will see protesters marching from the west oakland b. A. R. T. Station to the port and hopes of shutting down operations for the day. There will be a few in San Francisco including a march for palestine taking place at the 24th street b. A. R. T. Station. That begins at 10 00 a. M. Then at noon, theres a kite flying solidarity event taking place called bay area museums for palestine. Thats at the music concourse near golden gate parks California Academy of sciences. And then at 12 30, a strike and rally to stop genocide will be held at embarcaderos harry bridges plaza. And more may day protests over 1,000 Hotel Workers plan to march through downtown San Francisco today. Their Union Contracts are expiring this summer and they want raises, Better Health care coverage, and improved workloads on their shifts. The unions represented also include janitors who work for companies around the bay area. A similar rally will happen in san jose and other cities across the u. S. And canada. Shawn chitnis is live this morning at union square with more on what the workers say and the Hotel Industry. Shawn, good morning to you once again. What are all the details . Reporter hey nicole. Good morning. Sew we know for this particular may day rally, it is going to start in the afternoon near the intersection of california and montgomery streets then work here to union square. And while theres agreement that times are tough, especially in the tourism industry, there are some different views on what that means in terms of how its actually impacting the business when you talk to workers and Hotel Industry and whether theres the ability right now to pay those workers more and give them better benefits. Five, six, seven, eight, nine. Reporter camucha king says theyre ready to march on may day. With plenty of signs and employees who want to fight for better pay and working conditions. Were here to make a statement. Reporter shes a private dining server who works to take care of room Service Orders at the st. Regis in San Francisco. Shes had the job for almost 20 years, working there since it opened. I do like my job. I do like customer service. I do like what i do. Reporter but camucha says she can barely make it right now to cover the cost of housing and medical bills, especially with back problems and a daughter who has asthma. Were here, ready to ask the companies for respect and ask the company that we need better treatment and better wages, Better Health care. Reporter she says hotels in the city are constantly understaffed and that means more work for those who are on shift. We need more people to come visit San Francisco. As less people are coming here, unfortunately that results in less needs. Reporter alex bastian with the Hotel Council of San Francisco says not enough people are visiting the city after the pandemic. His organization represents the vast majority of hotels in San Francisco. But hes not a part of union negotiations. If we work together, especially during these difficult times, we will come back better and stronger than before. Reporter he says its no secret that hotels are losing money right now. And theyre having to operate with less employees because of empty hotel rooms and not as many tourists compared to before the pandemic. Alex says the focus needs to be on getting more people to come here and spend money, which requires the entire city to make San Francisco more appealing to tourists. Theres a lot of money coming in and we, the workers, only want our fair share of that. Reporter the union argues that while the pandemic has affected operations, hotels still managed to increase profits in 2022. They arent giving any specifics on what kind of increases they want yet, saying may day is an early reminder to make a good offer when their contracts are up later this year. When hospitality can survive and when hospitality can thrive, thats good for each and every san franciscan. We deserve it. We work hard for the company. We deserve respect. Reporter a shared goal to make San Francisco a better place for visitors, workers and residents. But different views on what it will take to get there. So while this is not a strike, this particular union has gone on strike in the past. And they say that demonstrates the commitment they have to their cause. But hopefully will not need to go there as they are still months before this negotiation. Now we did also reach out to city leaders as well as the San Francisco travel agency and some individual hotel groups the travel association. And some individual hotel groups. Still waiting to hear back on their comment for this particular story. But we do know that the march will begin at 3 00. Nicole, back to you. All right. Thank you, shawn well check back in for more updates throughout the morning. Time now 6 11. Federal restrictions for marijuana could soon ease. What it means for californias cannabis business.

Los angeles mayor karen bass has deployed the lapd to ucla. Theyre on campus right now after dueling pro palestinian and pro israeli protests got in a clash last night. Protesters lit fireworks and threw items and shining lasers and bright lights at each other. You can see that there behind me. Now we check in with our sister station in los angeles. Cara fin stromb is live at the campus now. Good morning to you. What are things looking like . Reporter good morning. Well, within the last hour here, crews with the Sheriffs Department also arrived and you can see them here wearing some protective gear. I did speak with a spokesperson. They tell me that this crew here to support the lapd. The Highway Patrol officers who were here all night. And theyre still here keeping watch along with campus police. Tensions do seem to have eased during last couple of hours and yesterday ucla declared the pro palestinian encampment unlawful and overnight we saw clashes. Fireworks were thrown as well as traffic cones, a scooter and wooden pallets and also what appeared to be smoke bombs. Pieces of that makeshift barrier were that were put up around the encampment. Those appear to have been broken apart. Some protesters carried a metal fence to separate themselves from the counterprotesters. Also appears that some in the group were pepper sprayed and we did see some ambulances here. No reports of any injuries. So were still waiting to learn more about we did see a couple of people being taken away in the ambulances and what the situation was with them. Also no reports of any arrests at this point. But yesterday, the university did state that Law Enforcement is prepared to arrest people in accordance with applicable laws and that people not affiliated with the university were urged to leave immediately. They also asked students and faculty to leave and said that those who remain could possibly face sanctions. Heres what we heard from someone who was here. Saw a lot of pro palestinians throwing water bottles. Actually a few of them hit me even. Throwing a lot of cardboard things. Just bunch of bad stuff. And i dont know. I saw the pro israelis like just trying to protect themselves. And i saw a lot of pro israelis getting pepper sprayed by the pro palestinians which was very hard to see. Reporter this is also of course causing some disruptions on campus at a tim when students and faculty are involved with end of year classes and finals. This still very much under way. The good news the things have calm right now. And once we learn a little bit more about what did actually happen here overnight, well give you an update. All right, cara, thank you so much. You forget in these moments that kids still have papers to submit and still work to get done amidst all the chaos. Graduation you know, literally days away. Well, now lets take a live look outside on this wednesday morning. And its beautiful as it has been for several days but jessica, come the weekend, thats going to change a little bit isnt it . Absolutely. But only for one day. Luckily at least. As we extend into this weekends forecast, we do have a splash of showers but that doesnt happen till saturday. For now High Pressure is still building its way in. Keeping us warm and dry as we head into our thursday and friday forecasts. But this little weak system is moving its way in into our weekend forecast. And it will bring in a splash of showers for saturday and just to clear up as we head into our sunday forecast. So keep that in mind for any outdoor activities. Also i was thinking for myself im like thinking should i fly saturday or sunday . Definitely sunday now at this point. Now heres something interesting. As we head into this weekends forecast, as rain chances start to increase into saturday, our pollen count really decreases. As that wet weather moves its way in. That dry air thats been giving us some allergies recently is going to start to diminish. Great news for us in the bay area. The fresh may shower in the saturday forecast and then drying up quick next week with cooler weather on the back end. Keep that in mind, thats a cold front moving in. The daytime highs we see today for example near San Francisco sitting in the upper 60s or lower 70s across the beautiful bay bridge behind me right now. Over into oakland with low 70s there. Its going to be a lot cooler heading into our saturday forecast. We have 80s in the forecast today off in the east bay. Upper 70s so close to the 80s all the way down into the Santa Clara Valley. One thing i want to mention, if you live near Solano County, despite the fact that you are dealing with some of the warmest weather all throughout the bay area, you are also dealing with a wind advisory issued by the National Weather service until 5 00 p. M. Where you can see wind gusts anywhere up to around 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour in those c
