Details about objections from critics. And stay away from the sierra. That is the message from authorities. Roads are closed, power is out, and the sierra blizzard warning. Weve been watching remains in effect until tomorrow morning. For those who tried to make that trip whiteout conditions and closures causing a traffic mess here in the bay area. Roads are still wet at this hour. Were seeing some major traffic issues causing lane closures in the east bay from the ktvu, fox two news. This is morning on two. Good morning to you and welcome to mornings on two. On this saturday march second im claudine wong. Happy weekend one and all im Frank Mallicoat. The big story today of course is the weather. Not only here in the bay area but up in the sierra. Lets check in with rosemary and find out how much and when its all going to stop. Are well, we will get a break. It looks like tomorrow though. Today is going to be off and on the sierra. Of course, the blizzard warning continues as you mentioned. Claudine. So it is a stormy weekend giving you a live look here over San Francisco where we have had thunderstorms roll through the bay area. We have a wind advisory that continues at this time. For most of the bay area, our coast, our hills, the inner east bay that goes until 10 a. M. Meanwhile, the High Surf Advisory for large breaking waves to about 20ft expected today. And that advisory goes until 4 00 in the afternoon. Ad up into the sierra, where the avalanche warning continues until 8 a. M. Well see if thats extended and the 10 a. M. Well have a look at the satellite and radar and what we n expect for your bay area weekend, as well as in the sierra coming up. Sounds good. Thank you. Rosemary. New this morning. All lanes southbound 880 in oakland shut down at this hour due to a big rig thats now on its side. And leaking fuel onto the freeway. Ktvu james torres joins us live from the scene to show us how that crash is affecting traffic. And i know we all had to scramble to get into work. Its not far from ktvu james. Good morning frank. Good morning to you. Yeah, we are just around the corner from Jack London Square. And if you were coming from Jack London Square, this might bother you a little bit here we are actually standing along the on ramp of southbound 880. And at some point they were redirecting traffic and using this to get people off the other direction to get them kind of clear away from 16th and embarcadero. Thats where they say that big rig actually overturned, and now its leaking fuel. From what we can tell now, that truck is now upright. Theyve had tow trucks on the scene since early this morning. This crash happened just before 3 a. M. Theyve had those tow trucks there. Theyve uprighted that truck and now theyre working on pretty much cleaning up the mess thats left behind. Eventually getting the truck out of here and then eventually getting some traffic flowing through here a little more steadily. Now, of course, traffic in all directions, all lanes now closed on 880. At this point here, just before 16th and embarcadero. And where were standing right now, were on the fifth street onramp here. They use this at some point as an off ramp car is going the opposite direction that you would normally see it, just to try to get some traffic clear off of 880. Now that looks like theyre trying to get traffic diverted at jackson street, which is just a few blocks away from where were standing here, just so they can buy some more time and some more space for the crews that are out here working the scene here. You see the chp officers, the chp cars on the scene blocking some of that traffic. It looks like the westbound lanes are flowing through pretty okay at this point here, but its that eastbound that is really, uh, causing more of a traffic concern here. Looks like that tanker truck still on the scene. Again, the whole big problem was that it was spilling some fuel. So that is going to cause some delays for quite a while here. Were checking in with chp officers. At this point. They say they have no idea how soon these roadways will open back up for traffic. Luckily, its early in the morning, so were not seeing too many cars on the roadway here, but theyre a little worried that if this lasts for quite a while, it will last. It would create eventually a pretty big backup. So thats what were hoping to avoid. Of course, well keep our eyes on this for the remainder of the morning once we have more details, more updates, we will bring them to you for now, we are live in oakland. Im james torres, ktvu, fox two news. All right, james, thank you for that. Driving to lake tahoe this weekend is extreme dangerous. A blizzard warning for the sierra in effect until tomorrow morning. People ignored warnings and drove up interstate 80 and highway 50, dealt with whiteout conditions and some closures. One couple we spoke with hit a roadblock on i80 just before blue canyon friday on their way from livermore to reno for a 60th birthday party. All my familys out there, so we just kind of woke up and were like, you know, just planning on going to celebrate. Um, we didnt expect to have to sit right here. I got starbucks and water might be more than that. Youre urged to stay off the road if possible all weekend long, but if you need to be on the roads, be prepared with a full tank of gas, a full ev charge, warm clothes, a sleeping bag, and enough food and water for 24 to 72 hours. Now the blizzard is causing more multiple closures, including Yosemite National park. A live look from the valley now what little you can see there. The park closed at midnight on thursday and will stay shut down at least through noontime tomorrow, but it could be pushed late if need be. There were some periodic closures during last years winter storms, all due to high water and flooding closing the entire park is very rare. The heavy rain and strong winds are causing problems everywhere you look here in the bay area, a mudslide has forced the closure of highway nine in the santa cruz mountains. As caltrans shared these photos on social media and you can see huge trees that have fallen on that mountain roadway, caltrans shut down all lanes between Redwood Gulch and sanborn road near saratoga, and there is no word yet on when that roadway is going to reopen for people are being treated for minor injuries after a big tree came crashing down on their car in San Francisco, the San FranciscoFire Department shared this photo of the scene. This is at laguna street and golden gate avenue in the citys fillmore district. You see the car right there, right on the right side of your screen, underneath all those branches. Firefighters say it was fortunate there were no serious injuries. And a quick reminder to you that you can always stay ahead of the storm with the ktvu weather app. It does have Current Conditions for you. Live, interactive radar, and it will break down the forecast hour by hour. Opponents of waymos robo taxis are considering an appeal after state regulators approved the companys request to expand its services onto the peninsula and into la ktvu. Jana katsuyama takes a look at why waymos response and the objections from critics. On friday, the California PublicUtilities Commission gave waymo the green light to expand and its robo taxi service. Waymo submitted these maps to the cpuc, showing the expansion area along the peninsula and silicon valley, as well as the area of los angeles where robo taxis now will be able to roll out the cpuc. S letter said it received 81 letters in support of waymos expansion and five objections. This was an irresponsible decision by the puc. San mateo county supervisor dave canepa says there are concerns about safety and a need for more communication with waymo. Were trying to put guard rails and making sure for that, local jurisdictions have local control. A bill by san jose state senator dave cortese is calling for more local power to oversee autonomous vehicles. The dmv actually, in some ways has primary authority. Theyre the ones that are taking all the accident reports. So its very transparent. And then the Public Utilities commission regulates them as a taxi service. Ethan elkind is director of the Climate Program at uc berkeley laws center for law, energy and the environment. He says nationwide, states have maintained primary authority over avs. I dont know of any states that actually give local governments any kind of formal role or veto. Some people say theyd be glad to catch a ride. I heard, or i actually read that its been through a lot of trials and its pretty safe, so i would do it, yes. Others say they feel the approval is too fast and want a slower rollout. I would say im not really for them right now, you know . I mean, let them develop them and all that. But i just, uh, i just, i worry at the, at the speed of, of things. I reached out to waymo and received a response from the company, saying that they plan to work closely with city officials and local community to make sure that the rollout is safe. They have not yet set a date for when service will start in the expansion areas in Mountain View, Jana Katsuyama ktvu fox two news. Mayor london breed sent a second letter to chinas president and ambassador, asking the country to bring pandas to the San Francisco zoo. More than 60 local Asian American leaders and organizers cosigned this weeks letter and it comes on the heels of last weeks announcement that china is going to send giant pandas to the san diego zoo. China has control of the pandas, and which institution receives them. In the past, there have only been pandas at 2 or 3 facilities at a time. In the united states, 709 another check of weather on what is kind of a crazy day. Not only here in the bay, but up in the sierra as well. Tough sledding up there, huh . Yes, and a friend of yours saying walnut creek receiving a hail just moments ago the size of walnuts. So that is the type of weekend we are looking at again, just a very cold storm. Thats bringing with it some dynamic features. Heres a look into San Francisco, where we do have a lot of overcast sky and the scattered showers continue as well as the possibility of thunderstorms. And with that will come the hail. Heres a look at Storm Tracker two, where you can see pretty much the entire west impacted by this storm. Here and we talk about the broken up clouds that you can actually see here on the satellite. That is an indicator of just the very cold air. Some of this air transported all the way from the arctic and so thats why its such a huge snow maker for the sierra. And for us, a little bit of snow as well. Take a look at the pink that is there on the hills on the east side of napa. We do expect snow levels to continue to drop anywhere from 1500ft to about 2000ft, right now weve got light rain over novato, san rafael, inside the bay, the richmondsan rafael bridge, as well as the bay bridge and along the peninsula. It looks like sfo right now. Some light rain. The east bay shore and then over to the east, where it looks like highway 680 right now near a san ramon, dublin, all seeing some rain. Did you notice a little bit of snow there over mount diablo and into the hills we go where im seeing a rain snow mix all the way to about colfax, which is about 2400ft. Now, when it comes to snow accumulation, we have already seen feet of snow since thursday. This is what is expected between now and the end of sunday. Notice colfax , at 2400ft, could pick up a foot of snow. So a very cold storm and snow levels are very low, as weve been talking about now for days. It is not a good idea to head that direction in fact, its impossible to get over the passes right now. Rainfall amounts for us. We could see another half inch to an inch or so. And if you do get a brief downpour due to a thunderstorm, could see a little bit more. The future cast on this when it comes to what we expect time wise, its just going to be on and off. Theres a look at your lunch hour and then into the afternoon. Theres a look at sunset so it wont be a complete rain out, but dont think its going away. Heres a look at midnight where it is still in in effect and expected to again continue to bring us the rain. It will begin to taper off tomorrow and ill show you that in the extended forecast. But again, come tonight we could see a rain snow mix all the way down to about 1500ft. The rest of your weekend. And what we can expect in the extended forecast coming up. See in a bit. Thank you rosemary. Lets take a look at traffic at this hour. Weve got some mighty wet roads out there. But if youre on your way to San Francisco from the east bay, the toll plaza is easy breezy. No issues whatsoever. If youre in marin, coming into San Francisco on the golden gate or heading the other way, that looks pretty good as well. The flag is flying out there, so a little windy, but no issues. But if youre heading to the sierra highway 80 is closed to big rigs from outside of auburn to the nevada state line, all due to numerous spinouts. Thats soda springs. There as you can see, not much is going on there. Change and four wheel drive for cars from colfax to nevada. Chp reiterating stay home if you can. It will get worse before it gets better over the weekend at 80. Could shut down in a moments notice. So take note if youre heading that way all right. Those are conditions will continue to watch for you as those strong winds blow through the sierra. Weve been seeing video like this all night long. More than a foot of snow expected this weekend. Major routes remain closed. Chain restrictions on those roads that are still open and again, changing conditions very quickly and in oakland theater getting a slew of antisemitic and antitrans comments on their social media page.

That big rig that youre looking at on your screen right now has been the center of attention this morning since early this morning, i think about 230 is when the sigalert was called. There was a crash. And actually that big rig overturned. And then they were concerned about fuel that was leaking onto the freeway. We do know they took traffic off of the fifth street on ramp, got the traffic off, and that you can see on the eastbound direction, things are shut down. This is right near Jack London Square. We dont know how long its going to be shut down, but we do know is that big rig is now upright, which is good news. So theyre going to try to get that out of the way. Make sure all the oil and any kind of fuel that may have been leaking is off the freeway, and then they will get that roadway back open. But right now, no, no word yet on how long that will take. You can see on the right side of the screen, firefighters walking along there. That is very common when theyve got any kind of hazmat or fuel situation. And certainly an emergency situation. So weve got james torres out there whos continuing to follow developments. If youre heading in that direction, you may need to go find an alternate route for now. And well keep you updated as new information comes in. Time now is 717. The owners of an oakland theater say they have been receiving hateful messages on their social media sites. Those messages are all tied to an event scheduled for tomorrow. The new Parkway Theater at 24th street will host a drag queen story time tomorrow afternoon. The theater posted a statement which says, in part, sadly, we recently received a whole slew of viciously anti semitic and antitrans comments on a social media post. Prompts our drag queen story time, uh, to be shut down. The theaters owners said they have removed the hateful messages from its platform and the event will go on. Pardon me. As scheduled. It will go on as scheduled. Well, food lovers from across the country are soon going to learn all about a popular Mexican Restaurant in the east bay.
