Pedestrian hit by car on Fair Oaks Boulevard in Sacramento

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA’S NEWS LEADER FOR 70 YEARS. THIS IS KCRA THREE NEWS LIVE AT 5 A.M. WE ARE TRACKING HURRICANE MELISSA, WHERE THE POWERFUL STORM STANDS THIS MORNING AS IT CONTINUES TO MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN. AND THE IMPACT IS NOW BEING FELT IN THE PATH OF DESTRUCTION LEFT BEHIND. FEDERAL FOOD ASSISTANCE FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS IS SET TO EXPIRE IN JUST A FEW DAYS. I’M RACHEL HIRSCHHEIMER IN WASHINGTON WITH THE LAWSUIT PUSHING TO KEEP SNAP BENEFITS FLOWING. AND WE’RE DAYS AWAY FROM THE STATE’S SPECIAL ELECTION. A NEW POLL SHOWING WHERE PROP 50 SEEMS TO NOW STAND. WE’LL DIVE INTO THAT DATA, BUT WE’RE STARTING THIS MORNING WITH VIDEO FROM CUBA’S SECOND LARGEST CITY, HURRICANE MELISSA BROUGHT SEVERE FLOODING TO THE SOUTHERN COAST OF EASTERN CUBA BEFORE IT MADE LANDFALL THIS MORNING AS A CATEGORY THREE. THAT’S AFTER MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE ISLAND COUNTRY OF JAMAICA AS ONE OF THE STRONGEST EVER RECORDED HURRICANES ON RECORD. AND A LOOK AT JAMAICA NOW, WHERE HURRICANE MELISSA HAS DEFINITELY LEFT A MARK. THAT STORM MADE LANDFALL HERE YESTERDAY MORNING AS ONE OF THE STRONGEST ATLANTIC HURRICANES IN HISTORY. IT’S BEING CALLED A STORM OF THE CENTURY. THERE IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE REPORTED ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN JAMAICA. SCHOOLS, HOMES, HOSPITALS, ALL OF THEM IMPACTED BY THE HURRICANE. AND OFFICIALS SAY AT THIS POINT, THEY REALLY CAN’T EVEN SAY WHAT THAT FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE IS. JAMAICA HAS GONE THROUGH WHAT I CAN CALL ONE OF ITS WORST PERIOD. OUR INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN SEVERELY COMPROMISED. SAINT ELIZABETH IS THE BREADBASKET OF THE COUNTRY, AND THAT HAS TAKEN A BEATING THE ENTIRE JAMAICA HAS FELT THE BRUNT OF MELISSA. SO LET’S GO TO METEOROLOGIST TAMARA BERG. YOU’VE BEEN BUSY TRACKING THIS STORM SYSTEM SINCE WELL BEFORE YESTERDAY. OH, YEAH. IT’S BEEN ON EVERYBODY’S RADAR, REALLY, EVEN SINCE THE WEEKEND WHEN IT HAD UNDERGONE RAPID INTENSIFICATION, GOING FROM, YOU KNOW, SATURDAY, A TROPICAL STORM EVENTUALLY TO A CAT FOUR HURRICANE AND THEN INTO THE MONSTER STATUS OF CAT FIVE AS IT RACED ACROSS JAMAICA YESTERDAY. IT HAS DROPPED OFF IN INTENSITY. AND IN FACT, AT THIS 5:00 HOUR, IT IS NOW DOWN TO A CATEGORY TWO CLASSIFICATION AS IT’S MOVING ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN CUBA. NOW IT’S STILL GOING TO DO A LOT OF DAMAGE IN THE EASTERN CUBA AREA, INCLUDING FLASH FLOODING, LANDSLIDES, DAMAGING WINDS, STORM SURGE 5 TO 8FT IN PARTS OF THE ISLAND, AND THEN EVENTUALLY IT’S GOING TO CARVE A PATH HERE AS IT MOVES TO THE NORTH NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT TOWARDS THE BAHAMAS. AND THEN EVENTUALLY IT’S GOING TO MOVE TOWARDS BERMUDA ON THURSDAY. AGAIN, WIND SPEEDS RIGHT NOW AT 105MPH. IT HAS PICKED UP FORWARD MOMENTUM, MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST OF 14MPH, TYPICALLY SOMETHING THAT WE SEE ONCE IT DOES AGAIN ENCOUNTER LAND AND LOSE SOME OF ITS AND MOVE ACROSS FRICTION AND LOSE SOME OF ITS POWER. BUT IT WILL CONTINUE A PATH THERE TO THE NORTHEAST OVER THE COMING DAYS. BACK HERE, CLOSER TO HOME, CLEAR SKIES OVER STOCKTON COOL START. GRAB THE LAYER BEFORE YOU STEP OUT THAT DOOR THIS MORNING. IT IS WEDNESDAY. WE’RE GOING TO LOOK AT A WARMER DAY TODAY WITH TEMPERATURES STILL TRENDING ABOVE NORMAL, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE STAYING DRY AS WE RIDE OUT THESE FINAL DAYS OF OCTOBER AND PREPARE FOR THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES ARE COOL. WE’RE IN THE LOW 50S RIGHT NOW IN SACRAMENTO AND STOCKTON 47 GETTING OUT THE DOOR. FAIRFIELD 64 AT PLACERVILLE AIRPORT. IT’S 52 CURRENTLY IN AUBURN. WE’RE DOWN TO 30 DEGREES IN TRUCKEE AND SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. DAY AHEAD, NOTICEABLY WARMER EVEN IN THE SIERRA TEMPERATURES PUSHING TO THE UPPER 60S. WE’RE TALKING UPPER 70S IN THE FOOTHILLS AND MANY SPOTS IN THE VALLEY TODAY, CLIMBING TO THE 80 DEGREE MARK IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES. I’LL BREAK DOWN THE FORECAST FOR YOU, LOOKING AT THINGS NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS 503. GOOD MORNING BRIAN, WHAT ARE YOU TRACKING FOR EARLY COMMUTERS? MORNING. START HERE ALONG INTERSTATE 80 AT ANTELOPE ROAD AND TRAFFIC IS LIGHT AND INCIDENT FREE ALONG 80 AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY ACROSS THE TOP AND OUT TOWARDS THE CAUSEWAY. A LITTLE BIT OF A SLOWDOWN HERE IN WEST SACRAMENTO. WE HAVE NO INCIDENTS REPORTED THERE. SO LIKELY THE RESULT OF SOME CONSTRUCTION THERE IN THE ONGOING REPAVING PROJECT. FIVE AND 99 NO ISSUES OUT OF ELK GROVE AND THROUGH STOCKTON. WE’RE LOOKING GOOD. WE’LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH AND WE’VE GOT DELAYS HERE ON 120 AS YOU’RE MAKING YOUR WAY OVER TO THE I-5 CONNECTOR WAS A FIVE VEHICLE COLLISION THERE. THEY’VE GOT ONE LANE OPEN RIGHT NOW. SPEEDS AVERAGING AROUND 11MPH. WITH THE SLOWDOWN STARTING RIGHT AROUND SOUTH AIRPORT WAY ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE OF ONE 2120. OTHER THAN THAT, JUST SOME MINOR DELAYS ACROSS 205. IT’S AT 17 MINUTES NOW, 26 MINUTES OVER THE ALTAMONT PASS. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE RED HERE ON 120. NOW, A 21 MINUTE RIDE FROM 99 OVER TO I-5. NINE MINUTE RIDE ON 80 OUT OF ROSEVILLE 50 IS A 15 MINUTE RIDE OUT OF FOLSOM FROM ELK GROVE 99. NINE MINUTES HIGH FIVE TEN MINUTES. BACK TO YOU GUYS. THANK YOU BRIAN. NOW LET’S GO INTO COMMITMENT 2025. WE’RE IN THE FINAL DAYS OF THAT BATTLE OVER PROPOSITION 50. WE’VE GOT A WEEK LEFT TO CAST A BALLOT ON THE CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING MEASURE. NOW, A NEW POLL SHOWING PROP 50 IS WINNING ENOUGH SUPPORT TO PASS. THIS SURVEY IS FROM THE PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA. 56% OF LIKELY VOTERS SAY THEY WOULD VOTE FOR PROP 50, WHILE 43% SAY THEY WOULD VOTE AGAINST IT. GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM IS ASKING PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY STOP DONATING MONEY TOWARD PROP 50. HE SAYS THE CAMPAIGN HIT ITS FUNDRAISING GOALS ENOUGH. THANK YOU. I NEVER THOUGHT I’D EVER SAY THAT. WE’VE RAISED ENOUGH MONEY. NEWSOM POSTED A VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAYING THAT THEY HAVE RAISED $38 MILLION FROM MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION DONORS. HE SAYS ANY MORE MONEY WOULD GO TOWARD HELPING SOME OF THE OTHER STATES FACING A SIMILAR ISSUE. NEWSOM ALSO SAYS THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE ELECTION IS OVER, AND HE’S ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO FOCUS ON GETTING OUT THE VOTE. NEW DATA SHOWS HOW MUCH HAS BEEN SPENT ON PROP 50 ADS. THE TRACKING COMPANY AD IMPACT SAYS SUPPORTERS OF PROP 50 AIRED MORE THAN $55 MILLION WORTH OF ADS SO FAR THIS MONTH. IT IS SIX TIMES THE AMOUNT NO ON 50 IS SPENT AT AROUND $9 MILLION. IF YOU STILL DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU STAND ON PROP 50. SCAN THE QR CODE THAT YOU SEE THERE ON THE SCREEN. IT WILL TAKE YOU TO KCRA 3’S FULL EXPLANATION OF THAT MEASURE. TAKING A LIVE LOOK HERE OVER CAPITOL HILL THIS MORNING AND WE ARE NOW ENTERING DAY 29 OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. U.S. SENATE ONCE AGAIN FAILED TO PASS A FUNDING BILL. THE 13TH FAILED VOTE SINCE THE SHUTDOWN BEGAN. THE VOTE LARGELY FOLLOWED PARTY LINES, FALLING SHORT OF THE 60 VOTES NEEDED TO ADVANCE. THREE DEMOCRATS VOTED YES, WHILE TWO REPUBLICANS BROKE RANKS AND VOTED NO. THIS ALL AS EXPECTED. MORE THAN 20 STATES, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA, ARE SUING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO HELP MILLIONS OF LOW INCOME AMERICANS CONTINUE BUYING FOOD. THIS COMES AFTER THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ANNOUNCED FEDERAL AID FOR FOOD WILL RUN OUT FRIDAY. KCRA 3’S RACHEL HIRSCHHEIMER IS JOINING US NOW IN OUR WASHINGTON NEWSROOM. AND, RACHEL, WHAT ARE THE STATES CLAIMING IN THIS LAWSUIT? WELL, DEIRDRE, THESE DEMOCRATIC LED STATES ARE ARGUING THAT THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER THESE SNAP BENEFITS FOR MORE THAN HALF A MONTH. NOW. TUESDAY’S LEGAL FILING FROM ATTORNEYS GENERAL FROM 22 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, PLUS THREE GOVERNORS, FOCUSES ON THE CONTINGENCY FUND WITH ROUGHLY $5 BILLION IN IT FOR SNAP BENEFITS. IT ALSO SAYS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD USE MONEY FROM A SEPARATE $23 BILLION FUND AS WELL TO COVER THE COSTS. NOW, SOME OF THE STATES INVOLVED IN THE SUIT INCLUDE CALIFORNIA, MASSACHUSETTS, KENTUCKY, MAINE AND MARYLAND. IN SEPTEMBER, THE USDA SAID THE SHUTDOWN PLAN INCLUDED USING $5 BILLION TO KEEP SNAP RUNNING. HOWEVER, LAST WEEK IT CLAIMED IT COULD NOT LEGALLY USE THE FUNDS THAT WAY. AS OF TODAY, THAT $9.2 BILLION WE DON’T EVEN HAVE CLOSE TO THAT IN CONTINGENCY FUNDING. WE’VE GOT TO GET THIS GOVERNMENT OPEN. 42 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ABOUT TO GO WITHOUT FOOD, INCLUDING A LOT OF CHILDREN. IN MY STATE, IT’S 650,000 PEOPLE. I MEAN, THAT’S EXTRAORDINARY. IT’S 12% OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION. 19 REPUBLICAN STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL SENT A LETTER TUESDAY TO SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER URGING THE PASSING OF THE, QUOTE, CLEAN, CONTINUING RESOLUTION TO KEEP FUNDING FOR SNAP BENEFITS. NOW, RECIPIENTS OF SNAP SAY WITHOUT THIS ASSISTANCE, THEY’LL BE FORCED TO CHOOSE TO BUY FOOD OR PAY OTHER BILLS. BACK TO YOU. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IS ALSO IMPACTING FLIGHTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE’RE LESS THAN A MONTH FROM THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL SEASON. IS THERE AT ALL A PLAN TO ENSURE THAT THIS DOESN’T GET WORSE? WELL, TEO, UNFORTUNATELY IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE JUST YET. YESTERDAY, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS MISSED A PAYCHECK AND TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY SEAN DUFFY SAYS THAT DELAYS COULD MULTIPLY IF CONTROLLERS CONTINUE TO CALL OUT SICK. NOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT SOME OF THESE DELAYS HAVE BEEN TEMPORARY, ISOLATED AND LIMITED IN NATURE. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS, THE FAA IS FORCED TO RESTRICT FLIGHTS COMING IN AND OUT OF AIRPORTS. OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS OUT OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. BUT IF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN CONTINUES, THIS COULD ONLY GET WORSE. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. RACHEL HIRSCHHEIMER LIVE IN WASHINGTON. THANK YOU. WELL, CALIFORNIA HAS APPROXIMATELY 5.5 MILLION SNAP RECIPIENTS. IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS ASSISTANCE, SCAN THE QR CODE ON YOUR SCREEN RIGHT NOW TO FIND A FOOD BANK NEAR YOU. A FEDERAL JUDGE IS NOW DISQUALIFIED. AN ACTING U.S. ATTORNEY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FROM SEVERAL CASES. THE JUDGE RULED THAT BILL VISALIA HAS BEEN UNLAWFULLY SERVING IN THAT ROLE, AND THE PRESIDENT APPOINTED HIM IN APRIL. FEDERAL LAW ALLOWS APPOINTEES TO SERVE FOR A MAXIMUM OF 120 DAYS BEFORE THEY’VE GOT TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE U.S. SENATE. DEFENSE LAWYERS ARGUED THAT AZALEA’S AUTHORITY ACTUALLY EXPIRED IN JULY. THE JUDGE AGREED, BUT DID NOT DISMISS THE CRIMINAL CASES THAT AZALEA HAS MANAGED. HE CLAIMS THAT THE RULING DOESN’T ACTUALLY CHANGE ANYTHING, SAYING, I CONTINUE SERVING AS THE TOP FEDERAL PROSECUTOR IN THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA. IT’S AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO SERVE PRESIDENT TRUMP AND ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ADVANCING THEIR AGENDA FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. IT IS. 509 NOW, LET’S TURN OUR ATTENTION TO OUR OWN FORECAST. HEADED OVER TO METEOROLOGIST TAMARA BERG. GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY WEDNESDAY TO YOU. STEPPING OUTSIDE HERE WITH PLACER COUNTY, THIS IS HIGHWAY 65 AT PLEASANT GROVE BOULEVARD. GOOD MORNING. AS YOU’RE JOINING US IN LINCOLN, THE WHITNEY AREA, AS WELL AS ROSEVILLE, THAT’S WHAT THE VIEW LOOKS LIKE WITH THOSE CLEAR SKIES OVER THE 65 STRETCH TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW IN THE 50S, STARTING OUT AROUND THE VALLEY, IT’S 51 IN MODESTO, 50 IN STOCKTON AND AROUND SACRAMENTO. WE’RE DOWN TO 47. IN FAIRFIELD, 53 RIGHT NOW IN YUBA CITY, 52 WAKING UP IN AUBURN AND 30 IN TRUCKEE. YOUR DAY AHEAD IN THE SIERRA. IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT WARMER. MILD TEMPERATURES CONTINUE AROUND THE LAKE. JUST A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY. TRUCKEE 68 DEGREES 75 FOR YOU IN QUINCY WILL HIT 74 IN POLLOCK PINES. GORGEOUS DAY IN ARNOLD AROUND TWAIN HARTE. HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. WILL RUN A LITTLE BIT WARMER TODAY IN THE FOOTHILLS. WE’RE INCHING CLOSE TO 80 SONORA AND JAMESTOWN 78. IN ANGELS CAMP 77 TODAY IN PLACERVILLE. IF APPLE HILL IS ON YOUR RADAR FOR THE DAY AHEAD, 78 TODAY IN AUBURN WILL HIT 76 IN GRASS VALLEY AND NEVADA CITY, CLOSE TO THE COAST. LOOK AT THAT. SAN FRANCISCO PUNCHES UP 77 DEGREES WITH THAT OFFSHORE INFLUENCE LINGERING IN THE CITY BY THE BAY 79 TODAY IN NAPA, AS WARM AS 83 TODAY FOR YOU. FAIRFIELD AND IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. WE’LL NOTICE A BIT OF A NORTHWESTERLY BREEZE. 80 TODAY IN LODI SUNSHINE, 82, IN STOCKTON GOT 81 FOR YOU. TRACY 80 IN STORE FOR MODESTO AND THEN SACRAMENTO VALLEY IN THE SUBURBS. A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR BEING OUTDOORS. AND I’LL SAY THAT EVEN IF YOU’RE OUTSIDE BETWEEN ABOUT TWO AND 4 P.M. MAY EVEN FEEL A LITTLE BIT ON THE WARM SCALE. 80 TODAY IN DAVIS, 80 IN FOLSOM AND 82 IN YUBA CITY. NEXT TEN MINUTES, I’LL BREAK DOWN THE EXTENDED FORECAST, INCLUDING A LOOK AT HALLOWEEN FOR YOU. IT IS 511, BRIAN, HOW ARE FOLKS MOVING ON THOSE EARLY HIGHWAYS? IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT TO THE CAUSEWAY, MOVING ALONG JUST FINE. THIS IS A LOOK AT INTERSTATE 80 FROM THE ENTERPRISE BOULEVARD CAMERA LOOKING OFF TOWARDS DAVIS. SO TAILLIGHTS HEADING WESTBOUND. AND RIGHT NOW EVERYTHING’S MOVING ALONG WITHOUT ANY SIGNIFICANT DELAYS ALONG 80 ALL THE WAY ACROSS. A LITTLE BIT OF A SLOWDOWN RIGHT NEAR REID AVENUE WITH SOME CONSTRUCTION THERE. BUT THAT’S IT. AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY OUT THROUGH YOLO COUNTY THERE. WESTBOUND 50 LOOKING GOOD IN FROM FOLSOM 5 TO 99. ALL CLEAR OUT OF ELK AND IN STOCKTON. WE’RE LOOKING GOOD, BUT WE HAD A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE 120 CORRIDOR. AND RIGHT AS THE AT THE 120 I-5 CONNECTOR, THERE’S A FIVE VEHICLE CRASH. THEY’VE CALLED FOR FOR TOW TRUCKS TO THAT SCENE, AND THEY’RE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY GETTING THERE WITH ALL OF THE TRAFFIC IN THAT SPOT, WITH ONE LANE OPEN AND SPEEDS DOWN TO TEN MILES PER HOUR PAST THAT, 205 IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD WITH JUST A LITTLE SLOWDOWN AT THE 580 CONNECTOR FOR A 16 MINUTE RIDE THERE. 580. 26 MINUTES, 120 STILL IN THE RED AT 27 MINUTES WESTBOUND HERE IN SACRAMENTO. NO DELAYS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU BRIAN. WELL, THE COUNTDOWN IS OFFICIALLY ON. WE ARE 100 DAYS FROM THE WINTER OLYMPICS. HOW? ATHLETES ARE NOW PREPARING TO COMPETE ON THE WORLD’S LARGEST STAGE. AND THE PRESIDENT CONTINUES HIS TRIP ACROSS ASIA. WE’LL TELL YOU WHAT’S ON HIS AGENDA AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO HIS LAS
