6:10 am
>> we really regret that so many students had difficulty on the first, but we're really happy that two weeks later we were able to reschedule all of them and give them a chance to take the sat, show what they know and do their best. >> and the college board says it's running short on testing sites in the bay area, making it hard for students to schedule those tests. california's public colleges are no longer requiring the sat and act for admissions, though stanford made headlines recently when it brought that requirement back. well, now let's get a check of your forecast for this father's day with lisa. good morning lisa. >> good morning gloria. all that sun out there so soon without a marine layer. beautiful view here. a little bit of haze and we'll see a little bit of fog at the beach this morning. half moon bay, but otherwise it's all thanks to those breezy offshore winds that we don't have a marine layer, but we are on a critical fire watch in the next couple of days. not as bad as it could be, but still enough to warrant a red flag warning around the bay area. we'll talk about how dry we will get and

6:17 am
you turned it into a win. >> relatives say renaming the park was originally the idea of community advocate ronald colthurst, who passed away last year, and he would bring all the african americans and the asians together, as one of his legacies was to make sure we rename this park. >> this is a true story of turning tragedy into triumph and making sure that people understand that we are better together. >> so it's really a testament to her family's spirit and grandma huang's legacy. >> mayor london breed hopes generations to come will know grandma wong's name. it's a symbol of hope, of resilience and really of how communities come together in times of real challenging situations. grandma wong's family hopes all will know peace and friendship when visiting here in san francisco. cornell, bernard abc seven news.

6:19 am
today. of course, we know a lot of people are planning celebrations for today, but it's going to be a little windy, you said. yeah, it is going to be a little windy at times, not the entire time. >> and we are shut off from our onshore flow for a time being. so usually we get that cooling sea breeze. some areas it's felt pretty warm where those winds out of the north have warmed you up through the 70s and 80s, but overall we're near average. we have a system to the north and west of us that is allowing for the winds to switch around to that offshore component. we're going to have another 48 hours of this kind of weather before we return to the winds from the coast, moving across the bay. and then that marine layer reforming, that's going to take several days into the middle of next week. so between now and then, it is clear we're looking at haze. just very little patchy fog. this is emeryville right now where it's 53 downtown, 45 with the clear sky, a little bit of fog. half moon bay, 53, in redwood city and from santa
6:20 am
cruz, about 50 degrees right now, upper 70s later on today with fairfield at 57. and the winds are light in most spots right now, upper elevation winds are a little bit breezy. there's the clear view from the golden gate bridge, so sunny, mild to warm today, so no afternoon breeze. we're going to have the breeze and it's going to be gusty, but it's out of the north looking at the rest of today and tomorrow with those winds ramping up. that's why we have a red flag advisory in the adjacent counties to the bay area. and that elevated fire danger with that red flag warning for lake county, solano county, the northern sacramento valley, where winds out of the north, they're allowing for those warm breezes 25 to 35 mile an hour wind gusts and the humidity dropping to not only 10, even below that, we're talking single digits. here's a look at the bay area fire danger index in the colors. the brighter they are, indicate the risk. so from moderate to high today, basically all across the
6:21 am
north bay and also along the santa cruz mountains, also the diablo range and the winds ease up, we get cooler temperatures. the relative humidity tries to recover overnight, but by monday afternoon we're still looking at that offshore component and those very dry winds. so in particular the gusty winds you'll see will be from point reyes down to half moon bay. but even inside the bay, look at the north bay over 30 miles an hour and then out towards discovery bay near that, with the 30 mile an hour wind gusts at times around redwood city. so by about noontime we're down to about 26% relative humidity in napa and concord, 16% in petaluma. and as we go through the afternoon, with more north winds blowing, we're down to 14% by the delta and 18% there up in petaluma. so looking at the dry conditions and other several days, temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s from san francisco over to oakland. so that's near average upper 70s, maybe a degree or so below average in the south bay, 86 for you in
6:22 am
santa rosa, the average high this time of year is 82. the accuweather seven day forecast. so that elevated fire danger today tomorrow gusty winds at times, particularly at the shoreline. but breezy in general. and then as we get towards tuesday back to our onshore flow maybe some low clouds and fog. a cooler midweek before we warm up for the first day of summer, which is thursday, and it definitely is starting to feel like summer with those hotter temperatures. >> it really is. wow. well thank you so much lisa. just ahead, what's in the box? the oakland ballers new mascot. you'll meet him and see how they're paying tribute to one of

6:51 am
due to a system that is going to be dropping to the south and moving to the north of us, and that will keep the pressure gradients tight between high and low pressure. and that's how we get the wind right on through monday night. emeryville right now it is clear where temperatures are ranging from the mid 40s. half moon bay. so chilly there. a few patches of fog. 52 redwood city with 53, san francisco 55. in hayward, oakland, san jose 57. okay, right now over across the bay in oakland where we've got sunny skies, upper 40s, santa rosa and petaluma, 56, in concord and our pier 39 camera facing alcatraz. sunny and warm today for father's day into monday, the gusty winds with a red flag warning to the north and east of us. we're looking at those dry conditions continuing and with the grasses particularly dry, we could see a spark that hopefully wouldn't bring on fire conditions locally here. already battling them in southern california. red flag warning until 8:00 tomorrow. clear lake,
6:52 am
hidden valley lake and out towards vacaville. so the northern sacramento valley there, elk grove where relative humidity could drop off below 20% at times. our fire danger index highlights the areas where we could see the best chance of perhaps a fire, because the grasses and the brush is so dry. and we're looking at the north bay primarily, but into the east bay, the diablo range down through the south bay. this is for today. and things quiet down the winds a little bit overnight. but then more importantly, the relative humidity comes up at its finest at more moisture through the overnight hours. but into monday afternoon, we're back into the very dry conditions. and once again, those breezy offshore winds at the coast. this is where it will be windy. as for your sunday and as we go through the afternoon, notice those reds come into play. that's about a 30 to 35 mile an hour wind gusts from the north bay to the east bay. so it's windier than yesterday. so if you're headed to the ballpark today, it's
6:53 am
going to be mild. but with those breezy winds at times up to 25 miles an hour, temperatures in the upper 60s. so average highs at about 67. low 70s over in oakland should do it for this time of year. we're at 7486 in santa rosa. so the numbers are comfortable. but the winds, problematic as they will continue to dry out the air. and with no marine layer. it's another clear night tonight into your monday. we're still windy in fact pretty dry into monday morning. monday afternoon and even as the winds ease up a bit, we won't recover really until later on tuesday when we get into higher relative humidity. a couple cooler days throughout the middle of the week for juneteenth. and as we look at the beginning of summer, the temperatures begin to climb. and that's just the beginning, because friday and saturday we're looking at mid upper 90s inland so we could have some heat advisories, but still it looks cool at the coast. >> you know, i'm always a little conflicted because i love the
