space and science center up in the hills of oakland, hoping to see the northern lights. >> it's pretty exciting, and it kind of reminds us that, you know, we're part of a much bigger universe and sometimes the universe kind of talks back to us. >> gerald mckeon is an astronomer at chabot. as he explains, the sun releases ionized gas. those clouds sometimes bigger than the actual sun, travel out into space. it's interaction with the earth's atmosphere produces the lights. i did get a chance to see it last night, when we looked to the north from here at the chabot space and science center, we could see a faint reddish glow in the sky. >> mckeon says the sun is on an 11 year cycle, which means every 10 to 20 years, the northern lights become visible. this far south. >> i've heard my father always say he wanted to see the northern lights, so i had this dream that i would take him there. but it's over here, so i. so it's good that he can see it. >> 14 year old preet pratyusha wants to be an astronomer, so she sees this as a special opportunity. astronomers say saturday night's cloud coverage won't necessarily block the lights, but humidity from the

clouds could cause a problem, and the lights are too spread out to be seen using a telescope. >> it's something that's unusual, like you cannot see it anywhere else. it's kind of rare, so i just want to see it. >> mckeon says. the more intense the geomagnetic storm, the more chances of power outages and disruptions to electronics such as cell phones and tvs. >> as far as i know, we've had none of that happen yet. but stay tuned. >> that's because sunday night will likely produce the most intense light show because of a massive gas release headed towards earth in oakland, anser hassan abc7 news. >> that light show we've seen so many beautiful images of. i've loved it and we're going to get to see it again tonight. lisa, you possibly. yeah, possibly. >> uh- peak levels right ahead of sunrise. and if you're in the east bay, that's good news because look what's here. obviously we have the fog in the city, but concord livermore out towards the delta. better viewing for sure. and you probably figured that out already. but we are looking at the cool down overspreading the

this time of year. and we're going to bring them down just a little bit the next 24 to 48 hours. there's a dark look at pier 39 this morning where temperatures are in the low 50s downtown, where 55 in oakland, 58 in hayward, 60 san jose and the clouds from half moon bay to san jose and from mount tam. check it out. isn't that beautiful? just after 6:00 is the sunrise with 51 santa rosa, 52, in napa, and we're at 54 where we have clear sky and concord and from our roof camera we've got the fog from the coast to the bay, and so far it's clear inland and looking at a nice afternoon today with temperatures on the cool side at the coast, it will be gray. we're going to hold on to the fog there, but we'll get into some sunshine and a milder afternoon with some warming inland. and then looking at the mild days to continue. so all throughout the bay today we'll look for that breeze that's going to kick up keeping temperatures at the upper 50s at the coast to the mid and upper 80s inland, all dictated by the low clouds. the fog. it

retreats. this is your sunday afternoon. it comes back in force across the bay for your monday morning, then pulls back monday afternoon and then once again on tuesday. it's back with us across the bay, so we should be in the upper 70s for our warmest inland locations and we're a little warmer than that. but overall, we'll notice that the temperatures in concord for your monday, they come down a little bit to near average and they're going to stay that way. so a nice week ahead. not a whole lot of fluctuation with the temperatures. we'll look for one of the cooler days into tomorrow. for most of us this is san francisco where we're going to see temperatures should be about 60 for this time of year. and notice throughout the rest of the week looking at a mix of clouds and sun. nice day today in oakland, 72. that's down another 4 or 5 degrees from yesterday 80 in napa. look for 83 in san jose with upper 50s at the shoreline. the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got the low clouds and fog each and every day, the afternoon breeze, sunshine in between. and just a couple degrees warmer. but notice it looks like a pretty

about prevention and not judgment. patients get a screening questionnaire, and one of the questions is to determine if there is a gun in the home and if yes, is the gun unlocked. >> unload it locked and kept out of a child's reach. so if a pediatrician comes across a yes on the questionnaire, it gives us an opportunity to engage in a discussion with parents in a non-judgmental way. >> the doctors say the locks are just different tools at their disposal to let them continue the work they're already doing. preventative medicine, public health, education and safety. kaiser permanente redwood city joins a sacramento area kaiser permanente facility in rolling out this program. it says the goal now is to expand it to other facilities. the oldest living tulsa massacre survivor celebrating a special milestone. family and friends gathered in texas for viola ford fletcher 110th birthday on may 5th. she's one of several people who survived a white mob that attacked residents living in what was known to be black wall street in oklahoma back in 1921.

spots or far inland to view the aurora borealis. if you were so bold last night early, and then again tonight, we're going to have another push of low clouds and fog at the coast, and it could really travel even further inland. so as for your mother's day, very nice out there. lovely, mild to warm. nothing too hot. and we're going to keep temperatures above average inland. but elsewhere the sunshine will keep temperatures comfortable around the bay. but along the coast with that sea breeze will see the fog retreat to the shoreline each and every day, but not exactly clearing from half moon bay to montara to point rays. maybe up in stinson you'll get a little more sun, but that sea breeze should be typical. nothing too extreme. and as we look at the next several days, try to pick out the changes. there aren't many. in fact, we're looking at upper 70s to low 80s on wednesday, so upper 50s staying at the coast. and then as we get into thursday , notice the warmth. those oranges staying inland. the yellows around the bay. and that

continues into friday. so we're looking at a really pleasant pattern. uh- average highs in our inland valley should be in the upper 70s as well as well. san jose should be in the low 70s, so we're a little bit above average for that. 83 in san jose. that's down a few degrees from yesterday, 78 in milpitas. looking at the 70s for redwood city and menlo park, low 70s menlo park with mid and upper 70s from san mateo, redwood city downtown mid 60s a mixture of clouds and sun for you. and up in the north bay we'll see highs ranging from the upper 70s in petaluma, with some 80s arriving calistoga very pleasant. and on the bay shore. here the east bay looking at mid 70s for newark, fremont checking in, i think in the mid 70s. so down 2 to 3 degrees from yesterday. concord will be in the low 80s. and you get out towards antioch and brentwood. we're in the mid 80s. the accuweather seven day forecast. so nice mother's day out there for everyone hopefully. and then into your monday looking at a few degrees more of cooling all around the

bay and then slightly warmer, but you may not even notice it the rest of the week. we've got low to mid 80s inland, mid 70s around the bay, so that's slightly above average. the fog though staying with us at the coast. >> zach got it. lisa thank you. hey a reminder that you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the abc7 bay area connected tv app that's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. download the app now and
