>> for decades, construction is expected to be done, and the plaza reopened to the public by early 2026. >> well rock the castle was back in walnut creek with its 10th anniversary musical spectacular hosted by our very own dan ashley. heathe >> she told me that i need girls like you. she also told me, stay away. you never know what you'll catch. >> get it? dan, the event brings out hundreds of people to enjoy live music and raise funds for children in need. the concert had performances from phantom of the opera, frank d'ambrosio, the oakland symphony, and a tribute to rock and roll legend tina turner. >> well, it's just a great milestone to have been rocking the castle for ten straight years. we've had some amazing headliners and over those years we've raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support local children in our community through a number of organizations that i support,

and we're looking forward to a great night and helping support kids who need our support. >> all the proceeds go equally to two charities. the first is court appointed special advocates. that's casa. it helps protect children placed in foster care from abusive or neglectful homes. the second charity is friends of camp concord, which sends underserved children to summer camp at lake tahoe each year to very worthy causes. an excellent night and it's always fun to see dan in his rock star mode. lisa. >> yes, i love it. good morning everybody. what a view here. the golden gate bridge looks gorgeous. temperatures in the 50s right now. we'll look for numbers near average today a beautiful day on the way. just a little bit warmer for the week ahead. a couple of caveats to ta

nine as the morning is just getting started, the sea lions starting to wake up and a beautiful skyline in the

background right there. and today you can watch the 2024 nba playoffs right here on abc seven. it all begins at 930 with nba countdown. first the 76 ers host the knicks in philadelphia for game four at wells fargo center. tipoff is at ten. then stick around when the clippers take on the mavericks on the road in dallas. that game starts at 1230. and closer to home, the 40 niners landed some final additions to the roster during day three of the nfl draft. abc seven sports anchor chris alvarez tells us more about the niners 2024 draft class. >> good morning. the nfl draft has come and gone. the 40 niners had five picks on the final day yesterday. keep in mind, during the lynch shanahan era, niners have found some of their best players late in the draft. think maybe brock purdy a couple of years ago. last pick 40 niners mark with a chance to announce a draft pick in detroit. he was fired up. wide receiver jacob cowing out of arizona went in the fourth round pick, 135 overall, five foot eight, 168 pounds. you see him there led

arizona the school record 13 receiving touchdowns this past season. so here's a look at day three for the niners. three defensive players, two offensive players chosen. here's head coach kyle shanahan after all his work was done. >> you know being close like we were last year feeling we're going to have a chance to at least have an opportunity to try to do something like that again. you want to think always what helps us now, but then you get to that spot and there always isn't that answer right then. and so do you go with what kind of helps us now or what helps us more in the future. and so you're just constantly weighing that, whether it's the draft, whether that's free agency, and everything. >> brendan rice was taken in the seventh round, pick 225 overall to the la chargers. the son of hall of famer and 40 niners legend jerry rice will go from usc to play for jim harbaugh's chargers. rice was second team all pac 12 and led the trojans with 12 receiving touchdowns last season. tariq owens, son of terrell owens, also reportedly agrees to a free agent deal with the 40 niners dog days at oracle park. giants hosting the pirates

some of their cutest fans at the ballpark. jordan hicks has been outstanding as a starter, a career high nine strikeouts gets former giant joey bart looking and top nine. we're tied at one. a little chopper to no man's land. wilmer flores first base flips to cameo, covering and camille duvall making the play on the run. so nice. we show it twice, using every inch of his six foot two frame to corral that in in extras, former giant farmhand brian reynolds two run shot off taylor rogers, a31 pittsburgh ke'bryan hayes homer two pitches later make it four one. in the 10th, jorge soler cue the light show deep into the night. two run shot. this is as close as the giants get. they lose four three rubber match later today at oracle park a's in baltimore on saturday afternoon. oakland looking for their third straight win. remember former a cole irvin now pitching for baltimore. and he was good seven scoreless innings struck out five. the hook gets brant rooker right there. frustrating day for a starter jp sears gave up three runs with

two outs in the fourth and in the fifth. homers on back to back pitches. adley rutschman and then ryan mountcastle. there they go. a's lose seven. nothing rubber match later today in baltimore. that's your look at sports. have a great sunday. let's send it back to you. >> hey if you're craving ballpark food at home, major league baseball has you covered. the mlb's launched ballpark bites, which puts a ballpark inspired menu on food delivery apps across the country. and they're doing this by setting up ghost kitchens in hundreds of ihop restaurants. so think your hot dogs, crispy chicken strip sandwiches, philly cheesesteaks, all those kinds of things that are zero calories. of course, locally there are locations in south san francisco, emeryville, richmond, petaluma and santa rosa. you can get me out to sporting events by having good food and if there's good weather outside. so let's get a check now at the bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. >> i'm with you there, zach. yeah, the weather is going to be good. although the winds could be a factor throughout the afternoon and the food is always great, right? live doppler seven showing you the northwesterly winds with high pressure

offshore. it's a quiet pattern, although not a great couple of days to head towards the shoreline because the winds are going to be very gusty. there they were yesterday. they'll continue that way tomorrow, the second half of the week, looking milder. emeryville just sparkling out there this morning. 50 half moon bay in oakland. it is 51 san jose, san francisco 55. in hayward and in santa cruz, approaching 50 degrees with mid 40s, napa 47 santa rosa and low 50s in concord. good morning livermore 50 for you. gorgeous view the oakland airport. sunny skies today. windy conditions continue at the coast for your monday. we'll get into a bit of a wind shift, but it's still going to be quite gusty at the shoreline, but we'll get into milder weather slightly. we're just talking a couple degrees. bayside and inland. the second half of the upcoming workweek will bring on the warmer days. nothing too extreme, about 80 degrees heading inland and in the 70s over in oakland today, the winds gusting over 20 miles

an hour. in fact, close to 30 miles an hour throughout the day. so it starts out a little cool. the sun is warm and then that breeze picks up. so mid 60s throughout the day. today with the wind for the afternoon. certainly at the ballpark. here's a look at high pressure staying in control for the next several days. the wet weather continues to move up into the pacific northwest, and we've got high pressure eventually building in, bringing us a little bit of a warming trend. but the models sort of differ here and can't quite get together by the weekend forecast . and it is trying this model to create an upper level low, actually a cut off low off the coast that could bring us definitely some cooler weather. whether or not we see some rain drops, we'll have to wait and see. 73 in morgan hill, upper 60s for you in sunnyvale. look for upper 60s palo alto with that afternoon sea breeze, 70, in redwood city, near average today, but cool and blustery at

times for daly city in the sunset with low to mid 60s up in the north bay. beautiful afternoon with 70. petaluma 74. in napa and on the bay shore. here we're looking at temperatures coming up with 69 in oakland and union city and heading inland. notice the oranges bringing in a little bit of that warmth there for concord 75 and low 70s. there for the livermore valley. the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got sunshine, breezy winds today, little change for your monday into tuesday and wednesday, a bit of a warming trend, bayside and inland. and then by the end of the week we're about low 80s inland. that's above average and slightly milder at the coast. keeping it breezy there. looking for a cooler weekend next week
