sun shines down on the golden gate bridge from our sutro tower camera. what a beautiful morning to wake up to after those winds howling overnight. thank you so much for starting your weekend with us. i'm kira klapper. cynthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast, and i heard you say a warm up is on the way eventually. yeah, we do have to get through this breezy weekend, but nothing compared to what we had yesterday. good morning. good morning everyone. we started off with some patchy clouds down here in the south bay. things are clearing up though as we go through our morning. it is a bit chilly out there as we make our way towards the tri-valley. going into those mid to upper 40s. as we make our
7:02 am
way around the bay, we see clear beautiful skies through san francisco, cocoa county and again chilly as we make our way into the north bay with temperatures waking up there. some spots in the low 40s, but we do have more beautiful weather on the way. aside from those breezy winds, we should see those skies mostly sunny in those 60s and 70s carrying us through today and tomorrow. but as we look ahead into the first couple of days of may, we will be looking at that spring warmth. we're possibly looking at low 80s. by the end of the next workweek. i'll be back with a full microclimate forecast in about 15 minutes. kira, back to you. okay, cynthia. we'll see you soon. thanks. this morning, stanford university is welcoming new students during its admit weekend as current students continue their pro-palestinian demonstrations. stanford is reminding those students of campus policies warning that they could be suspended or even arrested because of their tent city. today in the bay's jocelyn moran reports, the tents remain up at white plaza at stanford university. will not stop. we will not rest for the second night in a row. students held a
7:03 am
rally after they say some received this letter from the university this afternoon in which it states, as of this morning, students had failed to cease their violations of university policy. the university says their policy prohibits overnight camping. they sent it to specific schools and it was. we believe we are a strong belief that it was very discriminatory. the majority of the students involved that were sent letters were muslim. one of them was not even involved with with any with the planning of this whatsoever, we reached out to the university asking if they could explain what their disciplinary process looks like. they referred us to a statement they shared to students. they say university staff handed out letters in which they, quote, informed students that failure to cease conduct in violation of university policy would result in a referral to the office of community standards student conduct process and also could result in arrests if laws are violated and in that office of community standards process violations could be punishable
7:04 am
up to even suspension. students continue to chant and camp out at white plaza, encouraging people to come out and show support for the liberation of palestine, to demand their schools for divestment from companies that are complicit in israeli apartheid. that was jocelyn moran reporting for us across the bay at uc berkeley. it's now day six of their campus sit in. tents have taken over the steps and lawn at sproul plaza. it's a mix of student and alumni demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in gaza. yesterday was the final day of regular classes for the university, but protesters tell us they are willing to keep going until their demands are met. for cal to divest or stop funding companies with ties to israel, students also are calling for the creation of a palestinian studies program at cal poly and sonoma state is the most recent college to join in on the pro-palestine protests. tents are set up as part of a protest
7:05 am
on campus. so far, there have been no arrests nor impact to school classes and cal poly humboldt has closed its campus through the remainder of the school year. after student demonstrations, there, the pro-palestinian activists occupied an academic and administrative building. they've been there since monday. students used furniture, tents, chains and zip ties to block entrances to the building. all classes will be remote until the end of the semester. back here in the bay area happening today, two community meetings for parents in the san francisco unified school district to make their voices heard. the gatherings are part of the sfu sds three phase plan to get community feedback on a recent announcement of school closures. the superintendent says the district will have to close several schools because of low enrollment. it's not yet clear how many schools would close, nor which schools are on the list. the district also needs to
7:06 am
address other issues, including the need to change its flawed payroll system reform its school assignment system, as well as rectify a large budget shortfall. the first meeting is held at ten this morning at sheridan elementary school, near the city's outer mission, the second at 1:00 this afternoon at roosevelt middle school in the inner richmond. we're going to turn now to a deadly crash in the east bay. and we are learning more about the accident that took the lives of four members of a local family. we now know it was a family of four with two kids under 15 in the fatal crash happened wednesday night on foothill road near stone ridge drive in pleasanton. police say the family was in an electric car that was speeding when it hit the curb, crashed into an oak tree and burst into flames. we spoke with a neighbor who says the entire community is feeling the loss as a community, i think we are all grieving and we are just whatever has happened is very unreal for us,
7:07 am
and we are just trying to make sense of it. and unfortunately, we can't seem to be because it's terrible. all it's really terrible. other neighbors tell us that safety on foothill road is an ongoing issue. they are calling on alameda county to make changes to address speeding, sharp curves and lack of streetlights on that road. still being in the east bay now, a man is behind bars for attempting to kidnap a child. earlier this month in investigators say this man, 27, year-old mark simon, attempted to kidnap a child at a library in walnut creek. police arrested him five days later. during their investigation, they found more than 600 images of child in simon's possession. he has since been booked into county jail in lieu of $2 million bail. the attempted kidnaping is rattling
7:08 am
locals. it's concerning, especially because i see such young kids come to the library or even with their parents at the park and, you know, you figure we're right by the police station. so no, you know, expected like someone suspicious coming in. police tell us they do not believe there are any other victims, but they're asking anyone with information to contact walnut creek police. well, it's time. another weekend freeway closure in the east bay. southbound 680 is closed for the fourth time in just the past year. this time, caltrans is repaving a nine mile stretch between 580 and highway 84, meaning drivers will have to consider alternate routes today. in the bay's pete serratos has what you need to know. reporter another freeway closure is underway here in pleasanton along 680 south as caltrans continues to do their work on the road repairs. now it is the last closure for this stretch of freeway, which comes as a major
7:09 am
relief to locals for the fourth and final time. 680 south will be closed between pleasanton and sunol as caltrans continues repaving work along the heavily traveled corridor and ends monday morning. northbound 680 will remain open, with caltrans making it a goal to get as much work done in a short amount of time. with this weekend closure, we're condensing about 40 nights of work into just three days over the weekend, so we're just asking folks to be patient with us. we understand that this is, an inconvenience for them. people don't know exactly, you know where do i go? because everywhere i go, the police tell me a different route. robert from pleasanton works at a local gas station and says the closures have caused problems for drivers over the years. so he is feeling a sense of relief knowing the closures along this stretch of 680 are coming to an end. we get very crowded because but it's mostly disgruntled people that are angry that are getting off here. but other
7:10 am
drivers, we spoke to at the gas station who frequently travel along this 680 corridor have noticed improvements from the repair work that's been done during these closures. there is a lot of potholes. i mean, you'd be driving and you literally be like, boom, you know? and while the freeway closures along this portion of 680 are coming to a close, caltrans expects to do more repaving work along 680 in the coming months. we're expecting another, you know, partial closure, possibly near the san ramon area in may. pete serratos today in the bay and in the north bay, another shutdown to allow for repaving work. highway 37 westbound between vallejo and sears point also closed at nine last night. you can see it in the red. the detour north is marked in green. westbound highway 37 is expected to reopen by 4 a.m. monday morning, and at 710 on your saturday. much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up across the nation, school lunches are getting a makeover. we'll tell you about the changes

7:14 am
a few minutes, but first, this saturday morning, people across the midwest are waking up to a path of destruction after severe weather hit at least five states. the national weather service reporting it has received at least 60 reports of tornadoes from texas to missouri and nebraska. this video showing cars near lincoln, nebraska, driving past that overturned semi-truck. it had been swept and knocked over by a tornado. trains also were ripped off their tracks. power lines down. at least one of the tornadoes was reportedly a half mile wide, and meanwhile, in texas, many neighborhoods beginning their weekend with a massive cleanup effort, one survivor telling us her family wasn't home when the tornado hit, but that they're still looking for their dog. when i drove up, i lost. i mean, my stomach went down and now i know how other people feel and i
7:15 am
feel bad for them, too. but now i know my son, my husband, my daughter, my grandkids. they're alive. but there's a lot of things that are going. no deaths have been reported as a result of yesterday's storms, but it's not over yet. 33 million people from texas to the great lakes are under severe weather warnings for today. that means the possibility of more tornadoes, flooding, hail and destructive winds. as this past week, the supreme court heard arguments regarding former president donald trump's claims of presidential immunity and at the same time, in new york, witnesses testified in the former president's hush money trial to morrow morning on meet the press, moderator kristen welker speaks with senate minority leader mitch mcconnell about trump's mounting legal battles. yesterday, our bigad shaban spoke with kristen about that conversation. take a listen . now we're going to see your interview with senate minority
7:16 am
leader mitch mcconnell. he told you he doesn't think presidents should be immune from prosecution for actions taken while in office. the supreme court, of course, is weighing that very question. what is the lack of support from mitch mcconnell say about the current state of politics inside the republican party? well, bigoted shows how divided the republican party is. and i asked leader mcconnell, in the context of the fact that he initially made similar comments during trump's second impeachment trial. i asked him if he stood by that language, and he ultimately, after a number of tries began, said yes, he does stand by that language that no one is immune. it was very clear from my conversation with senate minority leader mitch mcconnell that he is not only very aware of the divisions within the republican party, in part caused by former president trump, but he is dedicated to working on them. what he has called really the isolationism strand within the republican party. so we get into all of that, and as we do
7:17 am
every sunday, tomorrow morning, christian will join us right here on today in the bay ahead of meet the press. you can watch meet the press every sunday here on nbc bay area at 8 a.m. new this morning, an unprecedented move by the united states department of agriculture that will impact school lunches for the first time ever, the usda is limiting the amount of sugar that can be added to meals. added sugars will limited will be limited to no more than 10% of the total calories per week. the rule also trims sodium in children's meals. that new rule goes into effect in 2027, using music as an educational tool. a former teacher turned rapper is using his musical talents to teach history today in the bay's marcus washington has more. hey kiara, get this. so a former teacher turned rapper is showing what a powerful tool music really is for teaching kids
7:18 am
about history. so his production company, it's called schoolyard rap and it's aiming to do that with music and performance. take a look. stephanie stephanie. come on. hey c stephanie hey c stephanie. so that was a performance from schoolyard rap. this was for a school assembly. so it shows that this show is really meant to teach kids about history and culture from the black, hispanic and asian communities. the founder of schoolyard rap, brandon brown, says it is all a celebration of culture. we are celebrating, african americans and latinos and asian pacific islanders and other individuals in these areas of science, technology, engineering, arts and math. and so many of our songs deal with, you know, what students can aspire to be, what they could achieve. each one of our assemblies, we have kind of a social emotional component where we have students repeat a mantra of i am amazing, i am beautiful, i am intelligent, i am powerful, i am worthy, i love it. all right, so schoolyard rap is currently on tour through
7:19 am
california with shows in stockton, hayward and los angeles. now we talk about stories like this all the time. all you have to do is join us for today in the bay, monday through friday. we start at 5 a.m. on air. you can also watch nbc bay area news whenever you want. we're on 24/7 on roku and other streaming platforms now. at this point i would normally do a rap, but i'm not. so kira, i'm marcus washington, i'm going to send it back to, you know, darn. all right, marcus, maybe next time. now to a live look in san francisco where as the weather gets warmer, people will have a new option to get the most out of golden gate park. forget about buying your own pair of roller skates. anyone over 13 will now be able to rent them. starting today, on saturdays and sundays, people can rent skates in a favorite skating spot known as skating place. it's near sixth avenue on jfk. the cost is $20 for the first hour, $5 for each hour after that. safety gear also is available for rent. so how will the forecast be for any roller
7:20 am
skating today? time now to check in with cynthia pimentel for our microclimate forecast. it's going to be breezy, but maybe that'll help in your overall skills throughout the day. and there's lots going on throughout the bay area. i actually have a yard sale event. you know, we're finding lots of things. if you're dumping it out, some other people might find it useful. our current temperatures right now are a bit chilly through walnut creek and our inland valleys. as we get the absence of that cloud cover. it's gorgeous through san francisco, though, and those winds out of the west right now are fairly calm, and we will see it increase throughout the day. our satellite and radar picture shows clear skies for us. while those systems work their way around to the pacific northwest and down through the desert southwest. as we go throughout the weekend, there is the cherry blossom festival in cupertino. so if you miss the one in san francisco last weekend, don't worry, you have another chance down here in the south bay. and those temperatures will be pretty comfortable in the upper 60s as we go throughout the evening with a bit of a breeze.
7:21 am
so make sure you bring just an extra light layer. here's the sausalito yard festival. if a yard sale as we go through the morning, bring a jacket. it starts at nine and we will start in those low 50s, climbing up only into those mid 60s. this afternoon with a little bit of that breeze and that cloud cover throughout the day, we're going to stick closer to the coastline and go up towards marin county. the sonoma coastline, and anywhere through san francisco and the peninsula. you can find those winds around 30 to 40 miles an hour, where we see a little bit more of that shading up. there continuing into our inland valleys as well. so through sunnyvale, livermore. and this will continue as we go on through sunday. this was because a couple of systems were trying to work their way into the bay area and didn't quite succeed, so they brought up our wind speeds just a little bit. our temperatures won't be too bad either. we'll do low 70s as we make our way into santa rosa, concord, and into morgan hill. around the immediate bay. we'll do 64 in san mateo to 66 in fremont, and slightly cooler out there towards the coast. half moon bay at 59 degrees. tomorrow we'll still be breezy, but just
7:22 am
a touch warmer. we get a couple more 70s on the map as we make our way through novato, dublin and into san jose. and even more warming is ahead as we look at first couple of days of may, we build more of that high pressure in here. we'll get more of those 70s and possibly some low 80s as we make our way to the second half of the week and possibly continuing on into the weekend as well. as far as our 7-day forecast goes, a windy weekend in san francisco. but that sunshine continues and it will be warming up as we go through our work week, possibly into those 70s in the city by late week, and our inland valleys will go from the 70s to the upper 70s, midweek, and possibly some 80s thursday and friday. all right. that's a good sign for may. all right, cynthia, thanks. we have much more ahead on today in the bay coming up, visiting every country in the world. fewer people than you might think have actually done it. one of them is this san jose teacher. her unlikely journey
7:25 am
every single country in the world. that's 193 countries and only about 30 of those 400 are women. one of those women is a bay area teacher who's bringing her experience into the classroom. garvin thomas has her story in this morning's bay area proud. now we're going to have a few students share aloud about their earth day reflection. it's
7:26 am
earth week in lucy chu second grade classroom at cadwalader elementary in san jose. and honestly, the students here could not have a more perfect teacher for it because when it comes to the earth, there are few who have experience as much of it as lucy. i mean, like, there's not many people who visit every country in the world. obviously, you see, it was a year ago last may when lucy entered syria and entered an exclusive club, the one made up of those who have been to every single country in the world. it's 193, if you are counting. and lucy, certainly was one. 93 is the total that is recognized by most travel clubs, because that represents the number of un members who do vote in the un. now, while lucy's interest in the world began when she was little love looking at maps and globes, the traveling didn't. as the daughter of vietnamese immigrants, the money just wasn't there for it. they were in a new country. they
7:27 am
never had formal education. being from vietnam, like little village kids, they were starting really from zero. so it wasn't until her early 20s when lucy got her first real job, that she took her first big trip to london. then once her teaching career took off, so did lucy, making the most of having her summers off. so every year i would plan a big trip. and so then my next trip was australia, new zealand, then the next summer it was like a different part of europe. then it was central america and but by the time i had taught for like six, seven years, i think i was already like 50 countries. anything from like a very hard to reach place, like north korea is special. as she continued, though, it wasn't just the number of countries that changed, it's how she saw them. instead of being just a tourist, lucy began volunteering all over the world, staying with locals and having more meaningful travel experiences that what are
7:28 am
you grateful for? and it's just those experiences that lucy brings back and shares with her students. like when i asked the students what were they grateful for? you heard answers like, i'm grateful for diversity, my freedom. i'm grateful for my education opportunities. those answers, i would say, are directly correlated to discussions i've had with them. so these are collections of my magnet. but it's not just in her classroom that lucy now shares her stories. she's being invited to speak at more and more travel conventions, sharing what her journeys have taught her about the world and about herself. i feel a lot of confidence in knowing that i can be anywhere and have peace. i can be anywhere and fd workin
7:31 am
27th saturday morning, a live look outside downtown walnut creek as the sun shines after a windy friday. what do we have in store for our weekend? we're about to find out. thank you so much for starting your final weekend of the month with us! i'm kira klapper. cynthia pimentel has a peek at our microclimate forecast. you say it will get better as the days go on. yes, that's definitely true. good morning kara. good morning everyone for this morning. we're starting off pretty chilly, especially if you live in the north bay. look at these temperatures. 42 in napa,
7:32 am
43 in calistoga and even out towards the tri-valley. we're doing 47 in danville. continuing with those cool temperatures down into the santa clara valley at 45 in morgan hill. as we creep up into the peninsula, we start to get into those 50s and the wind speeds right now we are coming down compared to yesterday, but we will still be in for a breezy weekend so that sunshine is out there. but you might need a layer if you do run cold. as we take it on into tomorrow, we'll continue with the breeze and a couple more 70s will make it on the map. but looking ahead into our long range forecast, we could be talking about the 80s as we go on into the second half of the first couple of days of may, we'll be back with the full microclimate forecast in about ten minutes. kyra all right, cynthia, we'll see you soon. thanks. it has been nearly one week since college campuses across the u.s. became the new battleground for the war in gaza, and that includes here at bay area universities. yes today on the stanford campus, demonstrators held teach ins workshops and led prayer services. the tent camp has been
7:33 am
in white plaza since thursday. in a statement, the university said student protesters could face arrest and possible suspension, but students say they've weighed that outcome against making their voices heard. say i were to get arrested or say a word to be expelled or suspend from the school. that would deeply impact me and my family because i like support them with the money that i get from here and an understanding that i weighed the personal consequences and my own personal beliefs, and felt compelled to do what i can to be out here, that tent city demonstration comes as stanford holds its admit weekend. that's when it welcomes hundreds of incoming freshmen and their families across the bay at uc berkeley. it's now day six of that campus sit in. tents have taken over the steps and lawn at sproul plaza. it's a mix of student and alumni demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in gaza. yesterday was the final day of regular classes for the university. protesters tell us
7:34 am
they're willing to keep going until their demands are met. for cal to divest or stop funding, companies with ties to israel. students also are calling for the creation of a palestine studies program at cal and sonoma state is the most recent school to join in on the protests. tents are set up on campus. so far, there have been no arrests nor impact to classes, and cal poly humboldt has closed its campus through the remainder of the school year. after student protests there, the pro-palestinian activists occupied an academic and administrative building. they've been there since monday using furniture, tents, chains and zip ties to block the entrances to the building. all classes will be remote until the end of the semester. the happening today there will be two community meetings for parents in the san francisco unified school district so their voices can be heard. the first meeting will be held at ten this
7:35 am
morning at sheridan elementary school, near the city's outer mission district, the second at one this afternoon at roosevelt middle school in the inner richmond. both meetings are being held as a part of the three phase plan to get community feedback on the recent announcement of school closures, the sfusd superintendent says the district will have to close several schools because of low enrollment. it's not yet clear how many schools would close, nor which schools are on the list, the district said. it's also facing other issues, including the need to change its flawed payroll system to reform its school assignment system, and to rectify a large budget shortfall. now to a final goodbye for a fallen officer. family, friends and law enforcement gathered yesterday to remember oakland police officer jordan wingate. the 28 year old died recently after battling injuries he suffered in an on duty crash back in 2018.
7:36 am
the tribute began with a procession from opd headquarters to three crosses church in castro valley. mourners described wingate as an officer who wore the uniform with pride, integrity and courage and always found a way to connect with everyone. his father, a retired oakland police captain, said he's proud of his son's legacy. i'm so proud of jordan for touching so many people and creating his own legacy in such a short period of time. he truly created his own legacy. jordan stood for something which is so uncommon in the world that we have today. jordan just wanted to serve his community. wingate started his public service career as an oakland police cadet back in 2013. he was awarded rookie of the year by the oakland police officers association. he was just 28 years old. the 55th oakland police officer killed in the line of duty while serving the residents of oakland. turning
7:37 am
now to politics, it has been more than a month since super tuesday, and we still don't know who will be on the november ballot in the race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo in the sixth congressional district, the area covers portions of san mateo and santa clara counties. we do know that former san jose mayor sam liccardo has secured his spot on the november ballot, but who will be his contestant? a much contested recount continues in the race between assembly member evan lowe and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian. officials expected the recount would wrap up yesterday after two weeks of recounts, but a series of challenges have now pushed that until monday at the earliest. now, two traces of the bird flu are found in pasteurized milk. the food and drug administration says it tested milk samples from cows across the nation. so that leaves us wondering how safe it
7:38 am
is to buy a gallon of milk from the grocery store. today in the bay's gia vang went to the experts to find out infected herds of dairy cows, the food and drug administration says fragments of h5n1, also known as bird flu, has been found in 1 in 5 samples of pasteurized milk, signaling different reactions from shoppers. i drink a lot of milk, too, and my dad drinks a lot of milk, so it's a little scary. i don't think it's that dangerous. it's not according to ucsf infectious disease doctor peter chin-hong. so the pasteurized kills it, but it doesn't mean that it vacuum cleans it out. but it's likely not going to affect anybody. the fda says bird flu had been detected in 33 herds in eight states. california not on the list. if 1 in 5 samples are infected, it means that many more cows than the 33 outbreaks in eight states are probably around. but so far it's not really crossed over to humans yet. for now, the virus does not
7:39 am
spread easily between people, and only two cases have been reported in the u.s. so for clinical chemist doctor nam tran at uc davis, it's more testing and monitoring by the cdc and fda. they also would potentially look at if the detected material in the milk was actually just nucleic acids, which is not necessarily infectious, but they can test it with, say, an egg yolk based test where they can see if the virus grows or not. if it replicates, then it's potentially infectious. so if you're headed to the store for now, you don't have to skip out on the milk gia vang today in the bay, a popular oakland eatery is finally back in business after vandalism and a fire destroyed its restaurant last year. we have video from the line to get into horn barbecue yesterday. it's opened a new location on eighth street in downtown oakland. the original location on mandela parkway was gutted by fire last year. the fire happened shortly after the restaurant had celebrated its third anniversary. there was times
7:40 am
where i didn't feel that we would reopen and you know, it notionally, it just felt exhausting, you know, just the thought of it having to go through it all again. but you know what? there's always light at the end of the tunnel. the oakland fire department tells us they are still investigating that november fire. turning now to any weekend drivers heads up, there are two closures that may impact your weekend plans. road repairs on both 680 and highway 37. today in the bay's mike inouye shows us where the closures are and the alternate routes you can take. good morning kyra. now since its friday night closure, southbound 680 remains off limits for drivers from 580 to highway 84. this is the final phase that we're told of this resurfacing project. the alternates for you are shown. the yellow takes you back into livermore and then down highway 84. less capacity, but it might be a lighter drive because most folks last time went all the way over to the castro valley y then down the
7:41 am
nimitz, the nimitz 880 was jammed from 238 down to auto mall for much of the weekend. then in the north bay, like last weekend, it's the westbound version of highway 37. that direction coming toward me, closed for a similar project from mare island to sears point. your alternate in orange here is up and over, and that adds mileage that's slated to be cleared, though both projects actually by monday morning's commute. all right, mike, thanks. next on today in the bay, the forty-niners showing off their first round draft pick at levi's. i'll tell you. hear what he had to say
7:44 am
beautiful sunshine already on the way. people out and about, but temperatures a bit cool right now at 48 degrees, sunshine and a bit of a breeze right there through san rafael, but for 54 degrees will carry us through the next 15 to 20 minutes. in san jose, we started out with a few patchy clouds out towards the foothill, but more of that clearing is already on the horizon and temperatures right now at 50 degrees as we take it hour by hour for you. here's what's in store. we have a yet another breezy day ahead, especially out towards the coastline, so i'm talking anywhere from the sonoma coastline down through marin, san francisco, half moon bay, santa cruz. and as we take a look at what's happening with the rest of the bay area we'll notice a few high clouds as we go through the middle of the day. but beautiful conditions,
7:45 am
sunny and mild as we make our way into our inland valley. so if you have any outdoor plans that involve being out there with the elements, make sure things are tied down and bring another jacket. if you do run cold with those winds. as we go on into later on tonight, we'll see the marine layer return track a little bit of that cloud cover as we start our sunday morning, but better clearing and the breeze that will stick with us through sunday also won't be as bad. our temperatures for today will go for the 60s along the immediate bay. we'll do 66 in hayward, low 70s as we make our way into the north bay, fairfield and down through morgan hill, 69 degrees in los gatos tonight, and maybe you're going out to pirates and giants this afternoon. first pitch is 605. and notice, we'll continue to feel the breeze out there. so bring the blankets, the beanies, everything to keep you warm as those temperatures will also dip down into the mid 50s by the end of the game. as we look ahead into tomorrow and on monday. aside from the breezy winds, you're really going to enjoy these nice, comfortable temperatures with a few more 70s on the map. and that will also carry us through to the
7:46 am
