What we have outside right now is a system that is winding up, you see it up here now to the north of us. Nice little deal. For april, a good setup. We will see rain tomorrow mainly in the midmorning, before afternoon hours. And we will see showers showing up and whenever you see the southerly wind you can hear that but it is southerly like this. Thats the direction that is going around the low pressure system and thats how it rotates and that brings in warmer air and cooled us off because of the cloud cover. It also means that we are going to see rain starting after midnight in some parts of the north bay. Nice weather system with snow in the mountains. 71 in concord and 68 in walnut creek. A live shot and when you see the clouds like that, thats stratus maybe. Maybe alto stras tus and diablo.

Volkswagen owner furious over the emissions testing. There is a deal struck with the German Company to let car owners sell their vehicles back or allow volkswagen to fix them. The details are figured out and we dont know how much the car owner will be paid if they sell the vehicle back. We dont know what is involved in the repair. But an unnamed source tells the Associated Press that volkswagen plans to spend more than a billion dollars to compensate the owners. The deal impacts 480,000 car owners. A lot of people that own the two litter fourcylinder engines. With us is consumer psychologist and Golden State University professor kit yarrro. Thank you for being with us. My pleasure. Your react to this deal, good for the consumer or do the volkswagen owners lose to it. It guess because it will be resolved. The volkswagen stock prices rose today. Everyone wants a resolution. Vw wants to move forward and so, yes, it is a good thing. A very good thing. We said the details are being worked out. But when it comes to these owners being able to sell back the cars, what do you suspect . Do you think it will be worth it to sell it back . Will they get enough of the money back . They are getting the value of the car, the kelly blue book value based on the time they bought it and plus additional funds. They havent released the statement about how much they will get but i think v w is maked a concerted effort to do the right thing at this point. A little bit late. I think a lot of the people anyway that right thing should have been done a long time ago but the fact that they resolved this conflict in the way that consumers like the best. They have acknowledged the mistake and asked for forgiveness and outlined as close as they can what happened and trying to compensate and not trying to skirt the issue at all. I think that satisfies consumers that they are being taken care of. A lot of the wounds will never go away and the reputation of the company has been damaged. From the ownership perspective, a lot of what i hear is just, you know, the facts that it was a low emitting vehicle with sort after bonus, not the reason they bought the car entirely. A lot of consumers are happy about this. And i hear you. And they did the right thing eventually. My goodness talk about regaining the publics trust. I guess you have the volkswagen owners that love the vehicles and will have them forever and what about someone thinking about it. Overall i guess what im asking do they recover and go on . They are about to spend a lot of money to fix the problem. It will take them a long time to recover. This is such a major blow, they were people that were questioning whether or not they would be able to recover at all, whether or not they would get to this phase. But we have seen some consumer forgiveness already. Time does heal wounds and it depends on the actions they take going forward. Without a doubt, this has been one of the biggest blows a company endure. They made a massive mistake when it comes to consumers trust. It is something that consumers eventually, years from now might forgive. Time will tell. We will see it in the numbers, right . Yes. Kit yarro. Consumer psychologist and golden state professor. Thanks for your time. My pleasure. Steph curry back on the court. Does this mean he will play in game three . We will tell you how his injured ankle was for practice. Will he or wont we . The Golden State Warriors face the rockets in houston and key dont know if steph curry will be on the court or bench . He practiced at this mornings shootaround. But he did not address the media but coach steve kerr did and there are are more questions than answers. Nothing new. He look the like he was doing well. Havent made any decision. We will have to convene with the workout. And i would just say he is still a question. After shoot around, his ankle was tended to by the head performist therapist. If he cant play Sean Livingston will play. I cant believe they put him in. They dont need him. Against the houston rockets. I dont think they are up to the level of the rockets. We go from the nba playoffs and the sharks now just one win away from advancing in the stanley cup. They beat the kings 32 and sp acenter. Brett burns, joe pavelsky and Patrick Marlowe swung on power plays and the sharks had a 30 lead and the kings would close the gap with two goals in less than a few minutes and tried to win the game and the sharks tried to lead 3 games to won. The 4th win was tough. And you get desperate. Game five is tomorrow night at Staple Center in la if the sharks win the series is over and they advance to the 2nd round to face the Anaheim Ducks or the predators. If the kings win they come back to santa fe for game six. Hockey is not as popular. You are a big hockey fan. I am. I tell people if you have never gone to a game, just go to one game, spend the extra money to sit down low and if you sit down low you will have a great time. Its incredible. I love that game. Coming up. His music left quite a mark. What does some of the biggest names have to say about prince . That part of the story when the four on 2 returns. Lets go live outside of princes compound. Right near minneapolis. The tributes are starting to pour in. They sure are. Prince found this morning. 57 years old. Back in a moment. A crowd has gathered princes paisley park compound in suburban minneapolis and fans are crying and keeping a vigil. Prince was found unresponsive in an elevator on the compound and efforts to revive him failed. Right now we dont know his cause of death but we know there was reports he has been sick and battling a bad bout of the flu. Hospitalized on friday after his plane made an Emergency Landing to deal with the flu. Reporter ted helder is outside the compound. What is it like being out there . Reporter it is surreal. Mostly serene with the one exception the prince music. People dropping off purple flowers for the purple one at paisley park and people not from here it is hard to understand the mysterious presence that prince had in the community. At paisley park he would have parties that he would tweet out or email out hours before and invite strangers into his home. Sometimes you would invite to go see a movie and that trust he had for his fans and for people here. I think that is why you are seeing people devastated by the news. He didnt move to hollywood or move to new york. He always stayed in minneapolis and that was his home. I worked in the mid80s. I remember terry lewis, the producers helping them out with the records and it was the music capital of the company. Thats why all of these artists we are hearing from that prince was influential. There is a venu in down minneapolis where he filmed purple rain. A must stop for acts. Sometimes they will play in the stadium but they will stop by the club because of how loyal they were. They were at a local jazz club. He was cheering on the band. You cant underemphasize or influential he was for the music theme here internationally. When you look at the people there outside of his compound paying tribute to him. I feel it is all ages and prince was able to cross the line with all of the boundaries. You know it is funny, we dont think of minnesota as the most diverse state and in many ways it is not but you are seeing such a diverse crowd. I see lots of parents bringing their kids because they want their kids to understand how important prince was to them. I keep hearing people saying prince changed my life. Several people said before i met my wife and husband, through prince. And his entire family was gave back to the fans. I saw princes sister and brotherinlaw and they thanked the fans for being here and prince wouldnt want you to catch a cold. Thats the type of relationship he had. Is there any indication that his health was declining . He performed out here, i dont know, maybe a month ago and i remember seeing video of him walking back to the coliseum and i know he was a small guy. But i thought he looks frail to me. Did you get that sense at all . Completely coming out of the blue . It came out of the blue. I saw prince at paisley park had the same reaction. He looked small and remember he had this plane, make an Emergency Landing on friday and the next day he performed at paisley park. Not a full performance, a lot of it a party. I think we lost him. Thats unfortunate but that was ted heller talking to us from minneapolis outside of princes paisley park compound just about 20 minutes or so outside of minneapolis. He mentioned in a club where prince always performed. Minnesota was his home. Well, their reaction to the news of princes death and take a listen. Being in this job, you dont want to give misinformation and you want to give the fans the information as quickly as possible. As a fan myself, i am crying and i want to crawl under the table and i want to call my mom and i want to have this friend that i have traveled to see him. I have seen him a lot of times and just met him recently and a pleasure. I saw him at the paramount in oakland. And he did the after party at 1015 folsom and he was there. I said hi and we talked about music and rhythm and skyler gave me a quick moment and he gave us so many time. 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and still playing and i remember doing the tribute, dearly beloved. We
