  • Mail theft concerns residents at Arden Fair Apartments in Sacramento

    Residents at the Arden Fair Apartments in Sacramento are dealing with recurring mail thefts, as surveillance footage shows a man breaking into mailbox clusters earlier this week. The video shared with KCRA captures a man in a black shirt prying open a set of cluster mailboxes, reaching inside, and taking the mail.”Thefts have kind of actually been pretty regular around the holidays. I think every single year we’ve had somebody break into our stuff,” said Isaiah Alexander.The recent case of mail theft happened on Monday.Chad Murphy, a resident, explained how he believes the suspected thief might have gained access to the gated complex. “For the last, I want to say week, someone’s put a brick to hold the door open . And yesterday I took it, and I chucked it. And that hasn’t been happening,” Murphy said.The property management has responded by installing two surveillance cameras directed at the mailboxes and upgrading to a new set of cluster mailboxes. “Those are brand new. He’s trying to upgrade it so they can’t steal,” Murphy said. Long-time resident Isaiah Alexander shared his perspective on the situation with KCRA. “Every year, it’s someone getting in them,” Alexander said. When asked if more could be done, he expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of on-site security. “What can you do, really, unless you have somebody on site?” Alexander said. “If you have on-site security, they’re putting themselves at risk. And during the holidays. I don’t know if it’s even worth it.”The property manager confirmed that the crime has been reported to the police.Sacramento police released a statement regarding the case:”If people see anything suspicious, they can contact the Sacramento Police Department. We work in coordination with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to investigate these incidents. People can report mail theft, tampering, or mailbox vandalism to the US Postal Inspection Service 24-hour dispatch at 1-877-876-2455 or visit USPIS.gov for more information.We recommend people check their mail daily, hold it at the post office if going out of town, regularly monitor for deliveries, and don’t leave packages unattended.”See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel

    1 person found dead in north Sacramento fire, officials say

    WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS. AND THAT BREAKING NEWS IS OUT OF NORTH SACRAMENTO. FIREFIGHTERS ARE INVESTIGATING AFTER ONE PERSON WAS FOUND DEAD AFTER A FIRE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT FIVE. I’M ANDREA FLORES. I’M LISA GONZALEZ. FIREFIGHTERS SAY THAT PERSON WAS FOUND IN A SHED OUTSIDE A HOME ON ACACIA AVENUE, JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS FROM RIO LINDA BOULEVARD. KCRA 3’S ANDRES VALLE IS LIVE AT THE SCENE WITH THE NEWEST INFORMATION. ANDRES. WELL, GUYS, WE KNOW THAT ONE PERSON IS DEAD AND I WAS SPEAKING TO THE FAMILY WHOSE OFF SCREEN? RIGHT NOW? OF COURSE WE’RE OUT OF RESPECT. WE WON’T SHOW THEIR FACE, BUT THEY BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THEIR NEPHEW WHO WAS KILLED INSIDE THAT HOME. WE HAVE A FRAME HERE AND SHOW YOU WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT. AS INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL ON THE SCENE HERE. WE JUST HAVE ONE FIRE ENGINE STILL IN PLACE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHERE ALL OF THIS UNFOLDED. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AROUND 130 THIS AFTERNOON. THAT’S WHEN FIRE CREWS FIRST CAME OUT HERE. AND THEY SAID THE FIRE STARTED IN THE BACK OF THE HOME. AND THIS TYPE OF SHED, WHICH IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT, WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ADU. SO THIS IS A SHED THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE HOME. THAT’S WHERE THE FIRE DID START AND EVENTUALLY SPREAD INTO THE ATTIC OF A TWO STORY HOME OF THAT TWO STORY HOME. BUT THAT CAUSED SOME ISSUES FOR FIRE CREWS. AND THIS IS WHAT SACRAMENTO CITY FIRE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THAT. WE WERE 25 MINUTES INTO THIS OPERATION, AND WE STILL HAD FIRE COMING FROM THAT ATTIC SPACE THAT WE WERE STILL TRYING TO MAKE ACCESS TO. SO THAT SHOWS YOU HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TYPICALLY ON A STRUCTURE FIRE LIKE THIS. WE HAVE KNOCKED DOWN WITHIN FIVE, MAYBE TEN MINUTES. SO WHAT WE WHAT WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AT THAT POINT AS WELL IS HOW MUCH OF THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE IS LEFT IN THERE SINCE IT’S BEEN BURNING SO LONG, AND WE DON’T WANT TO RISK ANY TYPE OF ROOF COLLAPSE. NOW BACK OUT HERE LIVE. WE STILL HAVE INVESTIGATORS ON THE SCENE HERE. THEY’RE TREATING THIS AS SUSPICIOUS UNTIL PROVEN. NOT THAT STANDARD PROTOCOL FOR THEM. WHEN THEY FIND SOMEBODY DEAD INSIDE A HOUSE FIRE. BUT LIKE I MENTIONED, I SPOKE TO THAT FAMILY. THEY BELIEVE IT’S THEIR NEPHEW. THERE’S THE FIRE CHAPLAIN CURRENTLY SPEAKING TO THEM. AND ALL I HAVE TO REALLY SAY IS OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THEM. BUT THAT’S THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. WE’RE LIVE HERE IN NORTH SACRAMENTO. KCRA THREE N

    Northern California forecast: Monday will start foggy again, end with sunshine

    Fog will develop overnight once again and the Monday morning commute may be murky at times.

    STARTING TO DEVELOP IN PARTS OF THE VALLEY. WE WANT TO CHECK IN NOW WITH METEOROLOGIST OPHELIA YOUNG. SO OPHELIA, IS THIS GOING TO STICK AROUND OVERNIGHT? YES. IN FACT THIS IS FOG IN STOCKTON THAT NEVER LEFT TODAY. THEY’VE BEEN SITTING IN THIS HAZE FOR PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEIR SUNDAY. IT DID PULL BACK IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH, AND WE GOT TO ENJOY HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TODAY. STILL COOL COMPARED TO WHAT’S NORMAL WHICH IS 62 OUR LOW. HOWEVER WE GOT DOWN TO 41 DEGREES. THAT’S ABOUT NORMAL. AND AS THAT DEW POINT, THAT’S WHERE THE FOG CAME FROM. ALSO CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. THAT’S WHAT WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW. 50 DEGREES IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, A LITTLE COOLER FURTHER SOUTH IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, WHERE THAT FOG IS SITTING OVER. WE ALSO HAVE 48 IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE SIERRA, COMING IN AT 36 DEGREES CURRENTLY. HERE’S A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT FOG OVER STOCKTON RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, IT DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT. NEVER LEFT TODAY. YOU CAN SEE IT STRETCHING ON THE IMAGERY ALL THE WAY OUT TO CONCORD, DOWN TRACY, AND EVEN A LITTLE BIT INTO MODESTO. AGAIN, IT DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT. IT DID PULL BACK FOR MOST SPOTS. LOOKS LIKE STOCKTON SAT AND FOG ALL DAY, BUT THAT FOG IS NOW BEGINNING TO SPREAD ONCE AGAIN, OVERHEAD AND BACK UP INTO THE SACRAMENTO AREA. HIGH PRESSURE SITTING ON THE WEST COAST. NO SURPRISE THE FOG DEVELOPED. HIGH PRESSURE. SOMETIMES RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. WE HAVE CLEAR SKIES OVERHEAD A LITTLE FURTHER UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE. WE HAVE LIGHT WINDS AND ALSO THAT THAT MOISTURE IN THE AIR. TOMORROW MORNING AS WE STEP OUT, DENSE FOG ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT. THAT DOES MEAN IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE ON THE ROADS, YOU’LL WANT TO PREPARE FOR POOR VISIBILITY A QUARTER MILE OR LESS. GIVE YOURSELF A FEW MINUTES TO GET TO WHEREVER YOU NEED TO GO TOMORROW FOR YOUR MONDAY MORNING. NOW THAT FOG AGAIN, YOU SEE IT IN STOCKTON THAT’S GOING TO STRETCH UP INTO THE SACRAMENTO AREA, EVEN UP TOWARDS YUBA CITY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO LINGER AROUND FOR OUR MORNING COMMUTE BEFORE FINALLY PULLING BACK AROUND 9:00 10:00 OR SO. BY LUNCHTIME, MOST AREAS SHOULD FIND THEMSELVES WITH SUNNIER SKIES. ALSO TEMPERATURES A LITTLE WARMER THAN TODAY. WE’RE LOOKING AT LOW 60S FROM YUBA CITY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO STOCKTON. UPPER 50S. STILL IN MODESTO WE HAVE UPPER 50S ALSO IN THE FOOTHILLS OF TRUCKEE AND SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. YOU’LL TOP OUT WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 50S TOMORROW. THIS WEATHER IS GOING TO BE A REPEAT PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY, ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THURSDAY IS THANKSGIVING. THANKSGIVING DAY HIGHS MID 60S IN THE COAST. IN THE VALLEY. YOU’RE GOING TO STICK AROUND HERE 60 DEGREES IN THE FOOTHILLS. ALSO AROUND 60. AND IN THE SIERRA YOU’RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES NEAR 56 DEGREES. A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR DAY IN THE VALLEY. IF YOU’RE GOING TO DO LUNCH TIME WITH FAMILY. 55 DEGREES A MIXTURE OF SUN AND CLOUDS ON THAT DAY. BY 3:00, AS WE GET DINNER STARTED, 60 DEGREES EARLY DINNER, I GUESS AT 6:00. COOL. WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING BACK INTO THE 50S AND BY NINE IT WILL BE PRETTY CHILLY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE DOWN INTO THE 40S BY THE END OF YOUR EVENING, BUT UP UNTIL THEN, GREAT! LOOK AT YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST WITH TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND 60.

    Fog will develop overnight once again and the Monday morning commute may be murky at times. Another Dense Fog Advisory will be in place for the valley until 11 in the morning. After the fog lifts, skies will be mostly sunny with temperatures peaking near 60 once again in the valley, upper 50s in the foothills, and low 50s in the Sierra with light winds. Similar weather repeats each day as high pressure remains dominant. Systems passing to our north will bring a few high clouds each day after the morning fog clears. Highs on Thanksgiving will be in the low 60s under mostly sunny skies with light winds.Thanksgiving in the foothills will be pleasant, with highs in the low 60s; the Sierra will be in the mid-50s with a light breeze.Friday looks mild as well, but a passing system will bring increasing cloud cover. A second area of low pressure is forecast to move inland to our north before dropping south, which means changing weather may arrive Saturday, with breezy valley winds and a chance of Sierra snow Saturday night and Sunday as snow levels drop to near 5000 feet.There is still considerable uncertainty about next weekend’s weather, so travelers should keep a close eye on the forecast.

    TIME RIGHT NOW IS 7 A.M. TODAY IS ALSO A WEATHER IMPACT DAY, AND HERE’S A LIVE LOOK FROM SACRAMENTO, RANCHO CORDOVA AND STOCKTON WHERE RAIN IS COMING DOWN RIGHT NOW. IT ALL STARTED EARLY THIS MORNING AND IS EXPECTED TO LAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HEADING INTO THE WEEK, LET’S GET WEATHER CHECK NOW WITH METEOROLOGIST KELLY CURRAN. YEAH, THAT RAIN HAS BEEN COMING DOWN THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, ESPECIALLY AROUND MODESTO, PICKING UP MORE THAN THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT. AND IT’S BEEN RAINING EVER SINCE. NOW THIS IS A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE IN RANCHO CORDOVA, WHERE NOT ONLY ARE WE DEALING WITH THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS, WE’RE ALSO DEALING WITH SOME AREAS OF PATCHY MORNING FOG. WE’RE GOING TO SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. BUT THEN A SECOND STORM ARRIVES TONIGHT, BRINGING IN EVEN HEAVIER BAND OF SHOWERS. AND THEN ON TOP OF ALL THAT, WE’RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH SNOW SHOWERS IN THE SIERRA, WHICH WILL LIKELY PROMPT CHAIN CONTROLS. WE ALREADY HAVE A FEW OUT THERE, BUT MORE WILL LIKELY BE HAPPENING, ESPECIALLY AS THAT SNOW LEVEL CONTINUES TO DROP. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE RADAR FIRST. AND YOU CAN SEE FROM I-5 EASTWARD. THAT’S WHERE WE’RE REALLY CONTINUING TO SEE THOSE RAIN SHOWERS. NOW YUBA CITY STARTING TO DRY OUT NOW. STILL A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS AROUND CHICO SACRAMENTO DOWNTOWN AREA. THE SHOWERS ARE STARTING TO LET UP, BUT WE’RE STILL SEEING MORE FURTHER TO THE EAST. AUBURN GRASS VALLEY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS, DONNER SUMMIT SEEING SNOW AND POLLOCK PINES. WE HAVE SOME MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN COMING DOWN, INDICATED BY THOSE SHADES OF YELLOW HEADING FURTHER TO THE SOUTH AROUND STOCKTON WE’RE SEEING LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS. SAME AROUND GALT.

THAT’S WHERE WE’RE SEEING THAT BAND OF YELLOW INDICATING AGAIN, THE MORE MODERATE SHOWER ACTIVITY. AND THIS IS MOVING ITS WAY EASTWARD. WE’LL BE SWITCHING OVER TO SNOW AS IT GOES UP IN ELEVATION. SACRAMENTO 56 DEGREES. THAT’S THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE. WE’RE AT 52 IN AUBURN. TRUCKEE 36. AND THESE TEMPERATURES ARE NOT GOING TO BE WARMING UP MUCH TODAY. WINDS AT THE MOMENT NOT TOO STRONG, BUT THEY HAVE SWITCHED DIRECTIONS. SO THEY’RE OUT OF THE SOUTH. WE’RE GOING TO SEE EVEN STRONGER WINDS AS WE GET INTO THE EVENING HOURS. HIGHS TODAY.

SO NOTHING THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT BEING SLICK FOR ANY ICY REASONS, BUT THAT CHANGES WHEN IT COMES TO KINGVALE BECAUSE KINGVALE THERE ARE TWO LEVEL CHAIN RESTRICTIONS RIGHT NOW, SO JUST BE AWARE THAT THESE ROADS GET A LITTLE SLICK UP THERE. IT’S A VERY SHORT AREA THAT’S IN CHAIN RESTRICTIONS AND CHAIN CONTROLS, BUT THERE ARE SNOWPLOWS OUT. AND FOR MORE SPECIFIC AREA OF THAT, THAT WOULD BE FROM KINGVALE TO AROUND THE DONNER LAKE AREA.

    Friday morning starts damp, with drizzle in the valley and scattered showers across the western foothills and the western slopes of the Sierra.

    DROP OFF A BIRD IF YOU CAN. OR OF COURSE, ANY OF THE KIND OF CONDIMENTS OR THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH IT, OR A CASH DONATIONS. ALSO A GREAT THING. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE FROM STOCKTON WHERE WE HAVE STILL SOME CLOUD COVER. EXTENDING TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 50S AS A RESULT OF SOME OF THE CLOUDS. 37 RIGHT NOW IN LAKE TAHOE, WHERE AGAIN, WE’VE BEEN SEEING SOME OF THOSE MORE INTERMITTENT BANDS OF RAIN. YESTERDAY MORNING WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT WIND THAT WAS RAMPING UP AT THIS TIME OF THE DAY. NOW WE’VE GOT PRETTY MUCH LIGHT WINDS OUT OF THE EAST AT 12 IN PLACERVILLE LIGHT NORTH FLOW COMING ACROSS YUBA CITY AT JUST THREE MILES PER HOUR. EXPECT THE WINDS ARE GOING TO PLAY PRETTY NICELY FOR THE DAY AHEAD. NOT REALLY DISRUPTING ANY PLANS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OUTDOORS. WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS THE SHOWERS. JUST KIND OF BRUSHING UP FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH AS THERE’S THE WEATHER SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT US THE DELIVERY OF REALLY THIS GOOD PUSH OF RAIN YESTERDAY, AND SNOW IS NOW MOVING TO THE SOUTH. SO THE WRAPAROUND MOISTURE IS WHAT WE WOULD SEE DURING THE DAY TODAY. AND THAT COULD TRIGGER A COUPLE OF SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY BY LUNCHTIME IN THE FOOTHILLS. AND THEN NOTICE AS WE GET INTO THE DAYTIME SATURDAY, WE’RE GOING TO ALSO SEE PLENTY OF DRY TIME DURING THE DAY SATURDAY WITH SOME RAIN SHOWERS IN THE QUEUE THERE ACROSS PARTS OF THE SIERRA. AND THEN AS WE GET INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON, A CHANCE THAT WE COULD SEE SOME OF THIS MOISTURE POOL AS FAR NORTH INTO AREAS LIKE MODESTO. ALSO AROUND PATTERSON, AND ALSO AROUND TRACY IS WHERE WE MAY SEE THE EXTENT THERE OF SOME OF THOSE RAIN BANDS. NOW, ONCE WE GET INTO THE OVERNIGHT SATURDAY, THAT’S WHEN WE START TO SEE A BIT MORE OF THIS PUSH. AS THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO WOBBLE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE NORTH. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE SUNDAY, 2 A.M. IT’S GOING TO BE RAINING PRETTY GOOD HERE IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY. AND ALSO STARTING TO SNOW IN THE SIERRA, PRIMARILY ABOVE 7000FT BEFORE DROPPING DOWN BY SUNDAY MORNING, POTENTIALLY TO AROUND 6000FT. AND THIS IS WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT FOR SUNDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER SYSTEM TAKES AIM AT US. SO WE’VE GOT SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THOSE ARE BOTH GOING TO BE IMPACT DAYS FOR THIS RAIN MOVING IN AND SIERRA SNOW, WHICH OF COURSE COULD IMPACT TRAVEL, LOOKS LIKE THE BETTER DRIER PART OF NEXT WEEK IS TUESDAY AND EVENTUALLY INTO WEDNESDAY. THAT’S WHEN WE COULD SEE AGAIN SOME OF THE BREAK FROM THE RAIN, BUT WE’VE GOT TWO IMPACT DAYS TO GET THROUGH. SOME COOL WEATHER STICKS AROUND THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. PLAN FOR AGAIN FOOTHILLS IN THE SIERRA TO SEE RAIN AND THEN SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS, ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT SATURDAY AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING FOR THE VALLEY. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF RAIN IMPACTING THE WEEKEND. I DON’T THINK TOMORROW IS ONE OF THE DAYS UNLESS IT’S IN THE LATE EVENING, AND THEN AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY SUNDAY, THE FRONT HALF OF THE DAY IS PRETTY WET. MIDDLE PART OF IT LOOKS OKAY. AND THEN IN THE EVENING, OVERNIGHT SUNDAY INTO MONDAY, THE NEXT BLAST OF RAIN COMES. YOU GET HALF OF IT THOUGH THE WEEKEND TO GET STUFF DONE. SO I DON’T WANT TO CALL I

    THE SOGGINESS OVER THE AREA. I ENCOUNTERED A LITTLE RAIN ON THE WAY IN, AND HERE’S METEOROLOGIST TAMARA BERG TO TIME IT ALL OUT FOR US. YEAH, THERE’S DEFINITELY SOME SHEEN ON SOME OF OUR LOCAL ROADWAYS OUT THERE. AND ALSO BRIAN, CHECK OUT THIS CAMERA. IT IS JUST ROCKING AROUND. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SUTTER BUTTE SKY CAMERA. A LOT OF CLOUDS ON OCCASION. THERE WE GO. THERE’S A RAINDROP THAT’S KIND OF GETTING DRAGGED ACROSS THE LENS THIS MORNING. BUT YEAH, THE BIG VISUAL THERE FOR THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY IS THAT BREEZE RIGHT NOW IN SACRAMENTO VALLEY. WE’RE IN THE LOWER 60S ALONG WITH THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND THE FOOTHILLS. A LOT OF CLOUD COVER, OVERCAST SKIES, OCCASIONAL SHOWERS, SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS RIGHT NOW SUSTAINED AT 16 IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, UP TO 14 IN THE FOOTHILLS. AND WINDS PUSHING SUSTAINED THERE OVER 20MPH IN THE SIERRA. WATCHING THE RAIN AGAIN WORK ITS WAY ACROSS THE VALLEY. WE’RE NOT EVEN INTO THE BEST OF IT JUST YET. RIGHT NOW, MOST OF THE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS. I’VE ALSO BEEN TRACKING A COUPLE OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE JOINING US IN TUOLUMNE COUNTY OR ON THE EASTERN HALF OF STANISLAUS COUNTY. MOST OF THE SCREEN HERE WE’RE SEEING, ESPECIALLY ALONG INTERSTATE 80 OR HIGHWAY 50, IT HAS ALL BEEN, AGAIN, VERY LIGHT, KIND OF MANAGEABLE RAIN TO DRIVE THROUGH. BUT OF COURSE, IT GENERATES A WET TRACK OUT THERE ON THE ROADS ALONG I-5 AND 99. YOU’VE ALSO BEEN SEEING SOME LIGHT RAIN. AND THEN HERE WE GET RIGHT INTO PARTS OF CALAVERAS AND TUOLUMNE COUNTIES. AND THIS IS WHERE THUNDERSTORM JUST MOVED THROUGH THE SONORA. SO IF YOU’RE A LIGHT SLEEPER, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THE CLAPS OF THUNDER OR SEEN THE FLICKER OF LIGHTNING. ANGELS CAMP, MURPHY’S AND ARNOLD HERE ALONG HIGHWAY FOUR. ALSO HIGHWAY 108. YOU’VE BEEN GETTING A PRETTY GOOD SOAKING RAINFALL FROM THOSE STORMS FIRING UP THIS MORNING. THE BIG PICTURE VIEW. WE’VE GOT A FRONT THAT’S GOING TO DRAG THROUGH THE AREA AS IT DOES. SO I ANTICIPATE THAT THE HOURS OF 7 A.M., 8 A.M. AND 9 A.M., WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING SOME PRETTY GOOD RETURNS ON THE RAINFALL. AND OF COURSE, THAT COULD LEAD TO SOME ISSUES WITH THE MORNING COMMUTE IN THE VALLEY. TODAY, I EXPECT BETWEEN 1 TO 2IN OF RAINFALL THAT WILL HAVE A BIT OF A HEAVIER IMPACT. OUR HIGHER IMPACT, ESPECIALLY IN THE FOOTHILLS. WE’LL SEE TWO INCHES PLUS WINDS, A MODERATE IMPACT, 35 TO 40 MILE PER HOUR GUSTS EXPECTED IN THE VALLEY. SNOWFALL FOR TODAY IS PRIMARILY GOING TO STAY REALLY EVEN ABOVE 7000, CLOSER TO 8000FT AND FLOODING, IF WE GET ANY, WILL BE A MODERATE IMPACT. AND IT’S GOING TO BE HIGHLY LOCALIZED BY WAY OF STANDING WATER OR PONDING AND POOLING ON SOME OF THOSE ROADWAYS. THIS IS 7:00 ON FUTURECAST, AND HERE WE GET INTO SOME MORE MODERATE RAIN THERE FROM THE COAST AND THEN SWEEPING INTO THE VALLEY. AND LOOK AT THIS. EVEN BY LUNCHTIME IT’S STILL RAINING UP AND DOWN THE VALLEY AND WE’RE SEEING SOME HEAVIER RAINFALL, ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON, THAT WE GO ALONG THE FOOTHILLS AND RIGHT DOWN HERE DRAPED ALONG THE WEST SLOPE. AND THEN HERE COMES SOME SNOW IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO AMOUNT A WHOLE LOT. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY TRAVEL PLANS IN THE MOUNTAINS TODAY, IT’S JUST GOING TO BE WET AND WINDY WITH PERIODS OF GOOD, STEADY RAINFALL IN AREAS LIKE TRUCKEE AND TAHOE. BY 4:00 FRIDAY AFTERNOON MAY SEE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS, SWEEP IN AND SNEAK THROUGH THE AREA. I’M JUST NOT EXPECTING A LOT OF ACCUMULATION. AND THEN ONCE WE GET INTO SATURDAY MORNING, HERE WE GO WITH A COUPLE OF BANDS OF SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BAY. I THINK A LOT OF THE VALLEY IS GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DRY TIME DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY, AND THEN LOOKING AHEAD TO SUNDAY, ANOTHER SHOT AT MORE SHOWERS AND WE COULD SEE PERIODS OF SHOWERS, BRIAN, EVEN EXTENDING INTO THE START OF THE NEXT WORKWEEK INTO MONDAY. OTHER TAKEAWAY BRIAN YESTERDAY’S HIGH WAS 69 DEGREES, SO WE GOT CLOSE TO 70. LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. WE’RE GOING TO JUST BE SEEING 60S FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. SO MAYBE A GOOD WEEKEND TO GET OUT THE WINTER WARDROBE. AND OF COURSE JUST MAKE SURE THINGS ARE OPERATIONAL, LIKE YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS. WE JUST REPLACED MY HUSBAND’S. THEY WERE IN BAD SHAPE, YOU KNOW, AND JUST GET READY FOR THE TRAVEL. ON THE WAY IN. SO WHEN THEY STUTTER LIK

  • What is Gov. Gavin Newsom’s role in the California Capitol Annex project?

    Gov. Gavin Newsom has promised to push state lawmakers leading the California Capitol Annex project to be more transparent about how they’re using taxpayer dollars, but documents show Newsom’s office plays a larger role in the project than the governor suggested earlier this week. It has been at least three years since project leaders in the California Legislature provided an update on the estimated cost of the taxpayer funded office building that will be used by the governor and state lawmakers. At last check, it was expected to cost more than $1.1 billion. | PREVIOUS COVERAGE | Gov. Newsom says California Legislature’s secrecy around Capitol Annex is ‘inappropriate’ Project leaders, also known as the Joint Rules Committee, have also not been forthcoming with information about how they’re spending the funds; only confirming information that is leaked to KCRA 3, including millions spent on Italian stonework, and the decision to add a hallway system that only lawmakers can use to avoid the public and media. The legislature also continues to withhold documents that KCRA 3 has requested, which could shed light on how much the project is costing. “As a taxpayer, I’d like to know as well,” Newsom told KCRA 3 at a news conference Tuesday when pressed about the legislature’s handling of the project and lack of information.But documents provided to KCRA 3 show Gov. Newsom’s Director of Operations has been part of a three-member Executive Committee that is expected to meet regularly and vote on final decisions about the project behind closed doors. The committee includes Newsom’s current Director of Operations Miroslava de la O, Democratic Assemblymember Blanca Pacheco and Democratic State Sen. John Laird. A 2018 memorandum of understanding between the legislature and governor’s office established the committee to ensure the legislature keeps the governor’s office in the loop on the project. The legislature’s Joint Rules Committee does the bulk of the decision making. The memo lays out the expectations for the committee, stating it should meet as needed, with a monthly standing meeting that can be “more frequent or cancelled as necessary.” The memo also states changes to project scope, schedules, budgets and delivery methods made by the committee shall be subject to a majority vote. The memo has allowed everything the committee does to be kept confidential. The agreement was established before Gov. Newsom took office.All three members of the committee have signed non-disclosure agreements that the legislature has required since 2018 from people involved in the project in order to keep broad information about it confidential, which KCRA 3 first reported last fall. With the NDAs in place, the project price tag swelled from $558.2 million to more than $1 billion. Documents provided to KCRA 3 through a Legislative Open Records Act request this year show de la O recently signed the non-disclosure agreement. Prior to de la O, Erin Suhr served in the Executive Committee role representing the governor. Suhr also signed the NDA. It’s not clear when the committee last met, a spokesperson for the legislature’s Joint Rules Committee could not say immediately when asked on Wednesday. KCRA 3 has filed a public records act request for meeting information between 2018 and now. “The Executive Committee was designed to ensure collaboration and transparency despite your claims of secrecy,” a spokesperson for the Joint Rules Committee said in part in a statement to KCRA 3 on Wednesday. “Consistent with the MOU, the Governor’s office staff is not involved in day-to-day operations or management of the project,” said Tara Gallegos, a spokesperson for Gov. Newsom. KCRA 3 asked the governor’s office if the NDA kept de la O from sharing information with the governor. “Our office’s role on the committee is limited to reviewing significant scope changes as defined in the MOU, which have not been presented to the committee at this time, as well as reviewing security concerns. We are not privy to detailed financial information beyond what is addressed by the committee. The NDA does not prevent the Governor’s staff from briefing him on actions taken by the committee and limited information received in this function,” Gallegos said. “Those three people make key decisions on the capitol. More importantly, they made those decisions privately and not have to disclose those to the public,” said Luree Stetson, a member of the Public Accountability For Our Capitol Political Action Committee. When asked if she’s convinced the governor does not know how much the building costs Stetson said, “I don’t know if the governor would or not, his staff might, whether his staff informed him of that, we’ve tried to get in touch with the governor over the last five years also and never heard back from him.”Newsom will likely never use the 525,000 square-foot building as governor, which is expected to be complete in 2027 after he’s termed out of office. Newsom has approved legislation appropriating funds for the project. He also signed a bill in 2024 that exempted the new building from California’s Environmental Quality Act to cease the litigation that had been stalling it.The last public update on the project was in a hearing in April of 2021. The California Legislature’s Joint Rules Committee said it planned to provide an update this year, but that never happened before state lawmakers left Sacramento for the rest of the year in September.

    “Those three people make key decisions on the capitol. More importantly, they made those decisions privately and not have to disclose those to the public,” said Luree Stetson, a member of the Public Accountability For Our Capitol Political Action Committee.

    When asked if she’s convinced the governor does not know how much the building costs Stetson said, “I don’t know if the governor would or not, his staff might, whether his staff informed him of that, we’ve tried to get in touch with the governor over the last five years also and never heard back from him.”

    Newsom will likely never use the 525,000 square-foot building as governor, which is expected to be complete in 2027 after he’s termed out of office.

    Newsom has approved legislation appropriating funds for the project. He also signed a bill in 2024 that exempted the new building from California’s Environmental Quality Act to cease the litigation that had been stalling it.

    The last public update on the project was in a hearing in April of 2021. The California Legislature’s Joint Rules Committee said it planned to provide an update this year, but that never happened before state lawmakers left Sacramento for the rest of the year in September.

    Northern California forecast: Few light showers possible Sunday

    Saturday night will be dry but cloudy for most of the region, but a second wave of moisture will arrive early Sunday morning.

    AND WE WANT TO GET STRAIGHT OVER TO METEOROLOGIST OPHELIA YOUNG OPHELIA YOUNG. YOU AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER. THIS IS JUST SUCH AN INCREDIBLY POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM ABOUT TO HIT LANDFALL. YES, A VERY SCARY SITUATION FOR JAMAICA RIGHT NOW. WHEN WE WOKE UP THIS MORNING, MELANIE, HURRICANE MELISSA WAS STILL A TROPICAL STORM. FROM THIS MORNING UNTIL NOW, IT HAS QUICKLY INTENSIFIED TO A CATEGORY THREE WITH WINDS 115MPH SUSTAINED. AND HERE’S WHY. HERE’S A MAP OF OUR SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. YOU SEE THAT PINK THAT IS HUGGING MEXICO, THE CARIBBEAN, STRETCHING ALL THE WAY OUT INTO AFRICA? THESE ARE SOME OF THE WARMEST SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, SOME OF THE WARMEST OCEAN WATERS. AND HURRICANE MELISSA IS SITTING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. SO YES, HURRICANE MELISSA IS EXPECTED TO KEEP STRENGTHENING TO A CATEGORY FOUR, MAYBE EVEN A FIVE AS IT HITS JAMAICA. THAT WILL BE EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. THEIR TIME. AND THIS IS WHY THIS IS A WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR JAMAICA IS BECAUSE KINGSTON, WHICH IS THE MOST POPULATED CITY OF JAMAICA, WILL BE SITTING IN THE FRONT RIGHT QUADRANT OF THE HURRICANE, WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE DIRTY SIDE OF THE HURRICANE. THEY’RE ALREADY GETTING RAIN AND SATURATED GROUND RIGHT NOW. FROM NOW UNTIL TUESDAY, THE END OF TUESDAY, WE’RE LOOKING AT 2 TO 3FT OF RAIN. THIS IS CATASTROPHIC AMOUNTS OF RAIN PAIRED WITH DESTRUCTIVE WINDS. I ONLY WISH WE COULD BRING SOME OF THAT RAIN BACK HERE TO THE WEST COAST, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE A SYSTEM MOVE THROUGH, AND WE GOT ALMOST NOTHING FROM IT HERE IN THE VALLEY. TRACE AMOUNTS FROM YUBA CITY. SACRAMENTO MODESTO STOCKTON. ONLY A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH. AUBURN AND PLACERVILLE ALSO A FEW HUNDREDTHS TRUCKEE AND SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. NOT MUCH BETTER. THOSE ARE OUR MAIN OBSERVATIONS. STATION. THIS IS OTHER WEATHER STATIONS SAYING SACRAMENTO EXECUTIVE OR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT DID GET A FEW HUNDRED SOMETHING MEASURABLE. HOMEWOOD UP IN THE SIERRA QUARTER INCH IN POLLOCK PINES MORE THAN A 10TH GRASS VALLEY IN BLUE CANYON, ABOUT A THIRD OF AN INCH. SO NOT TOO BAD FOR SOME SELECT AREAS, BUT FOR MOST, IT WAS JUST MISTY. MAYBE A FEW DROPS OF RAIN, MOSTLY CLOUDY AND COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S IN THE VALLEY. WE HAD UPPER 50S IN THE FOOTHILLS WITH TRUCKEE AND SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. THEIR TOP TEMPERATURES TODAY ONLY IN THE LOW 50S. THEY ALSO HAD SOME WINDS. LOOKS LIKE THIS LATE EVENING. STILL HOLDING ON TO THOSE WINDY CONDITIONS IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. THERE SUSTAINED WINDS ABOUT 22MPH. SO AS YOU CAN TELL, MOST OF WHAT CAME THROUGH HERE WERE JUST CLOUDS AND A FEW DROPS OF RAIN. SOME WIND. RIGHT NOW WE’RE STILL TRACKING A FEW SHOWERS JUST SOUTHWEST OF QUINCY AND A BLIP OF RAIN YOU SEE THERE FROM RIO VISTA OUT TO FAIRFIELD. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE’RE IN A DRY WINDOW. WE ARE ANTICIPATING A SECOND ROUND OF SHOWERS THAT’S MOVING ONSHORE RIGHT NOW, AND THAT SHOULD ARRIVE EARLY TOMORROW MORNING WITH SHOWERS FIRST THROUGH YUBA CITY, AND THEN IT WILL CRAWL INTO THE SIERRA DOWN SOUTH, WHERE SNOW LEVELS WILL BE DROPPED TO ABOUT 7000FT. AND THEN THE SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY GET SPOTTIER AND SPOTTIER THROUGH THE DAY UNTIL WE’RE DRY BY DINNERTIME. AND THEN WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO A BEAUTIFUL REST OF THE WEEK. WE ALSO GOT SOME SHOWERS IN THE WEST, OR WIND RATHER IN THE WEST VALLEY, AND ALSO SOME STRONGER WINDS IN THE SIERRA. THEY’LL BE UNDER A WIND ADVISORY ONCE AGAIN FOR GUSTS UP TO 50MPH, UP TO 100MPH IN THE VERY, VERY RIDGES. WAVE HEIGHTS 2 TO 5FT HIGH. SO NOT A GOOD DAY TO GO BOATING IN THE SIERRA HERE IN THE VALLEY. 64 DEGREES WILL BE COOL TOMORROW WITH A FEW SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WORK THEIR WAY BACK INTO THE 70S.

  • Former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini wants new trial in Tahoe murder case claiming jury misconduct

    Former Major League Baseball pitcher Dan Serafini is back in court Tuesday, as he and his new lawyer, Barry Zimmerman, request a new trial following his July murder conviction.A Placer County jury convicted Serafini in July of shooting his in-laws in an ambush attack at their Tahoe home in June 2021. That attack left Gary Spohr, 70, dead, and critically injured Wendy Wood, 68. She died by suicide years later despite making a full recovery.Serafini, 51, has not been sentenced yet, and he asked for new counsel after the conviction. That sentencing has been delayed until the request for a new trial is heard.In court documents, Serafini has pointed to KCRA’s interview with three jurors days after they delivered their verdict. The documents claimed the interview demonstrated jury misconduct.Three jurors, including the jury foreperson, testified in Tuesday’s hearing about their decision-making process. Zimmerman questioned the jurors about their deliberations, particularly their use of screenshots from two security videos entered into evidence. The videos included footage from the Elko, Nevada, Red Lion lobby showing Serafini the day before the shootings, and a driveway surveillance video capturing the killer entering the victims’ home.

    AUBURN, Calif. —

    Former Major League Baseball pitcher Dan Serafini is back in court Tuesday, as he and his new lawyer, Barry Zimmerman, request a new trial following his July murder conviction.

    A Placer County jury convicted Serafini in July of shooting his in-laws in an ambush attack at their Tahoe home in June 2021. That attack left Gary Spohr, 70, dead, and critically injured Wendy Wood, 68. She died by suicide years later despite making a full recovery.

    Serafini, 51, has not been sentenced yet, and he asked for new counsel after the conviction. That sentencing has been delayed until the request for a new trial is heard.

    In court documents, Serafini has pointed to KCRA’s interview with three jurors days after they delivered their verdict. The documents claimed the interview demonstrated jury misconduct.

    Three jurors, including the jury foreperson, testified in Tuesday’s hearing about their decision-making process.

    Zimmerman questioned the jurors about their deliberations, particularly their use of screenshots from two security videos entered into evidence. The videos included footage from the Elko, Nevada, Red Lion lobby showing Serafini the day before the shootings, and a driveway surveillance video capturing the killer entering the victims’ home. The jurors explained they needed screenshots because they could not play the videos side by side for comparison.

    In the exclusive interview with KCRA 3 days after the verdict, jury foreperson Caryn Schroeder explained the process.

    “We looked at those videos over and over. We were taking stills. We were creating slides side by side,” Schroeder said. “We were really analyzing, could the person in this video match who we knew was Daniel Serafini from the Red Lion video?”

    Zimmerman also asked the jurors about the interview they did with KCRA 3 News after the conviction.

    Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney Rick Miller also asked the jurors if they considered other evidence from the six-week-long trial. Schroeder emphasized their thoroughness on the stand.

    “We took it very seriously. We were very invested and spent a lot of time deliberating. It was a long trial. We made sure we were following the jury instructions,” she said. “We really deliberated a lot.”

    The attorneys will be back before the judge to continue presenting their arguments over a motion for a new trial on Oct. 20.

    The judge will take the motion under advisement and is expected to return a ruling Oct. 28, the same day as Serafini’s sentencing.
