NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FACING A FEW DAYS OF SOME PRETTY WET WEATHER. WE’LL TELL YOU WHO’S GETTING THE WORST OF IT. PLUS, IT’S TIME TO PLAY BALL. WEST SACRAMENTO GEARING UP FOR THE BIG GAME. WHAT FANS NEED TO KNOW AHEAD OF THE A’S HOME OPENER. AND FIGHTING FOR FARM WORKERS RIGHTS. THE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE WHO PUT FOOD ON OUR TABLE TABLES ON THIS CESAR CHAVEZ DAY. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT NOON ON THIS MONDAY, I’M LISA GONZALEZ. IT IS ANOTHER KCRA WEATHER IMPACT DAY AND IT IS WET IN SOME PLACES AND SNOWY. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE SIERRA. THIS WAS TAKEN BY OUR CREW AND LIVE TRACKER THREE EARLIER TODAY, AND WE’RE LOOKING AT A FEW DAYS OF SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND SNOW. SEE A LOT OF FRESH POWDER OUT THERE. SO LET’S GET IT OVER TO METEOROLOGIST EILEEN JAVORA. VERY DIFFERENT STORY IN THE VALLEY RIGHT NOW. SOME PEEKS OF SUNSHINE, SOME SCATTERED RAIN, EVEN A COUPLE OF DOWNPOURS AT LEAST DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO FOR NOW IS BASKING IN A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE. BUT I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WE STILL SEE A COUPLE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS OR A RUMBLE OF THUNDER, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BY EVENING TIME WE’RE GOING TO START TO SEE THE SHOWERS ON THE DECREASE. GOOD NEWS FOR THE A’S GAME, BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF THE GAME WILL BE DRY. IT’S JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME AND TAILGATING. THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC. SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUE FROM PARTS OF THE VALLEY IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, UP TOWARDS THE FOOTHILLS AND INTO THE SIERRA. IT TURNS TO SNOW ABOUT FIVE AND 6000FT. WE’VE HAD SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER AROUND PLACERVILLE IN THE PAST HOUR OR SO. YOU CAN SEE HOW HEAVY THE RAIN IS FROM CAMERON PARK TO SHINGLE SPRINGS TO PLACERVILLE, SOME OF THAT HEAVIER RAIN EXTENDS DOWN TOWARDS AMADOR COUNTY, AND THERE THE SCATTERED SHOWERS JUST EAST OF STOCKTON AND SOUTH TOWARDS SALIDA AND MODESTO. JUST SOUTH OF MANTECA. WE’RE GETTING SOME DOWNPOURS ALONG 99 AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THE SCATTERED DOWNPOURS TOO AS YOU HEAD YOUR WAY INTO THE MOTHERLODE STILL OFF THE CHAIN UP ON HIGHWAY 50, 88 AND INTERSTATE 80 RIGHT NOW AS THAT SNOW LEVEL CONTINUES AT ABOUT 5 TO 6000FT. AS WE LOOK AT FUTURECAST, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS STILL COULD FILL IN OVER THE VALLEY AND CONTINUE IN PARTS OF THE FOOTHILLS. I’LL PAUSE THIS AT AROUND 5:00 THIS AFTERNOON FROM SACRAMENTO TO ELK GROVE, AND MAYBE MOVING INTO THE LIVERMORE AREA AND EVENTUALLY INTO STOCKTON MODESTO THIS EVENING. WE STILL COULD GET SOME SCATTERED DOWNPOURS, AND THAT SNOW LOOKS TO BE HEAVY FOR A TIME THIS EVENING AS WELL. NOTICE HOW QUIET IT IS LATER TONIGHT, WE’LL DETAIL THE NEXT WAVE THAT WILL REALLY RAMP UP THE SHOWER. CHANCE AND THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW AS WELL AS SNOW. LISA WITH MORE ON FUTURECAST COMING UP. ALL RIGHT, WE’LL CHECK BACK IN WITH YOU IN A LITTLE BIT. HEALING FROM A TRAGIC LOSS. ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, THE MARYSVILLE POLICE CHIEF SPOKE WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE DEATH OF MARYSVILLE POLICE OFFICER OSMAR RODARTE, WHO WAS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY LAST WEEK. HE SAYS IT’S BEEN AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME, BUT THE COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO HONOR OFFICER RODARTE. THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN FILLED WITH DEEP SORROW, AND WE KNOW THIS PAIN IS FELT BY OFFICER RODARTE’S FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FELLOW OFFICERS. WE GRIEVE WITH THEM AND WE ALSO STAND WITH THEM. WE ALSO WANT TO THANK THE YUBA-SUTTER COMMUNITY FOR THEIR OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT. YOUR KIND, YOUR KIND WORDS, GESTURES AND PRAYERS MEAN SO MUCH DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. OUR OFFICERS HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THEIR OWN GRIEF WHILE CONTINUING TO SERVE THIS CITY WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND DEDICATION, AND I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THEM. TO HONOR OFFICER RODARTE.

HERE’S A TIME LAPSE OF THE WORKERS UNCOVERING THE FIELD AT SUTTER HEALTH PARK EARLIER TODAY. IT’S BEEN A VERY BUSY MORNING. A WET MORNING, WHICH IS WHY IT WAS COVERED WITH A TARP.

IF BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL EVER CAME TO SACRAMENTO WITH THIS FAN BASE, YOU KNOW, AND JUST TO KIND OF FEEL HOW LOUD THIS CROWD IS GOING TO BE, I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE PLAYERS TO EXPERIENCE IT. YEAH.

ORGANIZERS KICKED THE DAY OFF WITH AN EARLY MORNING RALLY TO UPLIFT IMMIGRANT WORKERS. THIS WAS THE SCENE AT THE LOCAL 1000 SEIU OFFICE ABOUT 6:00 THIS MORNING. PEOPLE CHANTING SI SE PUEDE, WHICH MEANS YES, WE CAN. TODAY’S MARCH WILL HONOR CESAR CHAVEZ, WHO OFTEN SAID THAT. AND HE STARTED THE MOVEMENT TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS FOR FARM WORKERS HERE IN CALIFORNIA. IT WAS IN 1966 THAT THE LATINO LABOR RIGHTS LEADER MARCHED 340 MILES OVER 25 DAYS FROM DELANO TO SACRAMENTO TO CREATE CHANGE. MARCHERS SAY THEY HOPE MORE PEOPLE WILL REALIZE THAT IMMIGRANTS HELP MAKE THIS COUNTRY A BETTER PLACE FOR FOLKS THAT SEE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. I MYSELF AM THE DAUGHTER OF IMMIGRANTS.

AND TODAY SHE EVEN BROUGHT A RED UFW BANNER SIGNED BY THE LABOR RIGHTS ICON HIMSELF. MY PARENTS ARE FARM WORKERS OR WERE FARM WORKERS IN THE 80S IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY, AND CESAR CHAVEZ AND DOLORES HUERTA AND THE UFW ORGANIZED A TOMATO STRIKE IN THE 80S. AND I REMEMBER BEING A TEENAGER AND BEING OUT THERE WITH THEM, MAKING THE SIGNS, THE FLAGS AND MARCHING WITH THEM IN THE 80S, OUT IN THE FIELDS TO STAND UP FOR WHAT’S RIGHT. BLUE SHIELD SAYS ACROSS THE STATE TODAY, 800 VOLUNTEERS WILL BE TAKING PART IN THAT DAY OF SERVICE TO TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES.
