flame spewing smoke into the air. we're tracking the air quality as crews work to put out the fire that is still smoldering, and a leaky pipe

forces an evacuation at a contra costa county senior living facility. concerns tonight that that leak isn't water and despite a fire and multiple racist incidents, a san francisco family says they've got a lot to celebrate how their community is coming together again to help support their recovery. the news at 11 starts right now. thanks for joining us. i'm terry mcsweeney. gia has the night off and we begin with that breaking news out of oakland. more than three hours later, dozens of firefighter are still battling flames at a lumber yard that fire continues to smolder, sending huge amounts of smoke into the air. video from our traffic camera shows the plume of smoke that can be seen for miles. flames broke out around 745 at the economy lumber yard that's on high street, just off of 880. video from the ground shows huge flames shooting out of the building. firefighters say the fire is impacting traffic in the area. there are train tracks nearby as

well. we just learned in the last few minutes rail traffic that was suspended is now back in service. the lumber yard sits near a gas station, and the man who operates that gas station says there have been fires here before. they normally start along the railroad tracks near a homeless encampment, but firefighters say they do not believe this one started. but the tracks, they believe it started inside that lumber yard. still, the flames put people on edge. i was very afraid that come we get a lot of gasoline, got over 30,000 gallons of gas under the ground over here. we got a lot of people over here. of course, i was worried about. so far, no injuries reported. the cause of that fire is under investigation. taking a live look now from our oakland cam tonight. this is what the smoke is looking like right now. much reduced from earlier. and it is white smoke. they're getting a lot of water on that right. right now knocking down the fire and firefighters telling people nearby still even though there's

less smoke, keep your windows closed. let's bring in meteorologist rob mayeda and rob. a lot of smoke. is this having any major impacts on our air quality tonight? well, that smoke advisory does continue for this fire. again, this lumber facility fire. you can see the smoldering plume still there right now. earlier reports did see a spike in pm 2.5 pollution or smoke pollution right around the 8:00 hour. those levels have dropped off, but some reports across the east bay, including lafayette police reporting smoke and ash in the lamorinda area within the last 1 to 2 hours. and based on the wind directions, i think there's a chance that that smoke advisory will likely continue into the morning. you see the winds there. it is part of an onshore wind generally west southwest as we head through tomorrow morning. so you have a little bit of smoke all the way to moraga and orinda. i think chances are tri-valley maybe even out to conquer due to those onshore winds. you may wake up to the smell of smoke again that is coming from that fire near 880. hopefully fire crews can get a continued knock down on

that fire and reduce those smoke levels. right now, with that smoke advisory still in effect for inner portions of the east bay along 880 into the morning hours, most likely. terry. all right, rob, thanks very much. our team has been sending out updates throughout the evening. if you haven't already, make sure to download our free nbc bay area app. you can customize the breaking news and weather alerts you want us to send straight to your phone. it is a great resource to have. we now know the name of the man shot and killed in a quiet peninsula neighborhood. police say 27 year old deonte gordon of san francisco was killed friday night in belmont. happened near hiller and irwin streets, right near a park. first responders tried to save gordon, but he died at the scene. no arrests have been made. detectives are asking anyone who lives in the area to check their surveillance cameras for anything that could help with this investigation. a motorcycle is killed in a crash in half moon bay has been identified as the mayor's son. crash happened just before 6:00 last night on highway one.

degrees in san rafael 50 now, so we've cooled rather quickly. we will see some patchy low clouds heading into tomorrow morning. 60 in walnut creek, low 80s today. about that range tomorrow. it's later in the week that will begin to see those temperatures really start to climb on up and into san jose was 76. currently 58 degrees. patchy low clouds into the morning. so pretty much the same thing for tomorrow. we'll continue to have those cloudy and cool conditions near the coast, warm temperatures inland. then wednesday through friday. that's when we're going to see the warmest days. really, it's going to be thursday on into friday afternoon. those inland valleys will have a chance of mid to upper 80s. right now, winds continue to be out of the west. and keep in mind, if that ongoing lumber facility fire along 880 there near oakland, that's going to push the smell of smoke into the east bay. don't be surprised if you wake up tomorrow morning. tri-valley out towards concord and walnut creek. if you smell smoke, it is still coming from that lumber yard fire which is burning there along 880 in oakland. even though the fire activity has come down, usually we get the

marine air that comes in in the morning. it kind of traps some of that smoke. and if the winds staying in that direction all the way to sunrise might smell some of that for the morning. now for the afternoon, if you have any holiday plans that will take you up towards the sierra, watch out for daily chances of afternoon thunderstorms, as we could see a lot more of that actually tuesday and wednesday for areas around lake tahoe and down towards yosemite. now closer to home, lots of low clouds along the coast for the morning. they'll stay there into the afternoon, but you see the sunny skies inland. so we start the day in the 40s to low 50s. midday temperatures looking pretty nice, mostly 60s and 70s in areas far enough inland, close to 80 in vacaville, mid 70s around san jose. upper 70s for concord, but still kind of chilly around san francisco. low 60s to mid 60s from san francisco to oakland. so now here's the progression of the warm up that comes wednesday through thursday. notice how those inland temperatures now by thursday are in the mid to upper 80s inland 90 in vacaville, low 80s in san jose bay. side temperatures at least for a couple of days, warm up into the

70s. but look at that. by friday . solano county a chance of some low 90s mid 80s into san jose and 80s across the north bay valley. so quite a bit warmer than the way we've been seeing temperatures over this last weekend. heading towards next weekend though, kind of like we just went through. we're going to see another cool down coming as a sea breeze likely picks up with active weather returning to the pacific northwest, so we'll get a little taste of summer later this week. and then those temperatures cool down once again, heading towards next saturday and sunday. so around thursday or friday may get closer to 70 around san francisco, mid 70s in oakland, then comfortably cool as we move forward into next weekend. right now the midweek warm ups have changed to late week warm ups. it looks like there thursday and friday, the warmest days of the week. pretty nice again for next weekend. gorgeous stuff rob. thank you very much. well still ahead great story here. a bear burglar taking over there. he is taking over a california neighborhood and he's got a bit of a sweet tooth. we're going to tell you about the one treat he's after, but who really

in convention as he tried to peel off at least some support from libertarians ahead of what could be a pivotal week for his campaign closing arguments in his historic criminal trial. now less than 48 hours away, here's nbc's julie sirkin. it's a long holiday weekend of campaigning for former president donald trump, and today he's hitting the gas pedal, courting voters and speed racers at the coca-cola 600 in north carolina. you believe so? a big nascar contest in a key battleground state, north carolina. but last night, a far less friendly reception than trump typically sees at his own rallies. the crowd at the libertarian national convention booing the former president combined with us, you have to combine with us. we cannot give crooked joe biden

four more years. in 2016, trump was able to reach voters outside traditional party lines, but this year, the libertarian party should nominate trump for president of the united states. whoa. maybe you don't want to win. maybe you don't want to win. libertarian voters seem hesitant to support the former president. i would rather eat my own foot out of a bear trap. independent candidate robert f kennedy jr, who spoke to the same audience on friday. no more propaganda was briefly considered today to be the party's 2024 nominee, but was quickly voted out by the libertarian delegates robert f kennedy jr, 2.07. it hasn't stopped rfk, trump, or even president biden from trying to make inroads with third party voters. biden skipped the libertarian convention, speaking to military cadets instead. at west point's commencement, a white house tradition nothing is

guaranteed about our democracy in america. every generation has an obligation to defend it. and donald trump returns to court after the holiday weekend, closing arguments expected to begin in his new york hush money trial on tuesday, former president charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records. prosecutors say he facilitated a payment to silence adult film actress stormy daniels about their alleged affair, a verdict in that case could come as soon as this week. an nbc bay area investigation is raising new safety questions about driverless cars and their ability to recognize and avoid people in crosswalks. one member of congress is calling our findings concerning and is now calling for action, senior investigative reporter bigad shaban shows us why. how y'all doing today? school crossing guard theresa dawn has spent the past 11 years keeping children and their families out of harm's way. hi. good afternoon. she

thought she'd seen it all. you're welcome. until she noticed some of the cars at her busy san francisco intersection had no driver. i just don't think it's very safe. california remains one of the country's largest testing grounds for self-driving vehicles that offer everything from food delivery to taxi services. but dawn says driverless cars operated by google's sister company waymo nearly ran into her three separate times while she was guiding families along the crosswalk. the parent grab the child and looked at the car, and there was nobody driving it. so, you know, they just, like, grabbed their chest. it almost hit you. yes. it did not recognize me in the intersection, even though you were standing in it with your stop sign. yes. she's not the only one. we spoke to 30 crossing guards stationed at more than 20 schools across san francisco and nearly one out of

every four, roughly 25% told us they experienced some type of close call in the crosswalk with the waymo driverless car, where the vehicle either hit the brakes last minute or the crossing guard rushed out of the way to avoid being hit. i tell kids to stay back, one crossing guard told us. another saying, i've almost been hit half a dozen times. so if the car wasn't able to recognize those people right away, what does that tell you? that they should have drivers, but not every crossing guard has had a bad experience with robo taxis. one told us they stop better than people. another added i've almost been hit by parents, not driverless cars. those who have had near misses say they occurred within the past year, but none could remember exact dates or times, waymo said. without specific details, it can't tell us what its vehicles did or why, and declined our interview request. but in a statement, waymo told us we take

public concerns very seriously, adding while we're proud of our safety record, we also recognize the importance of ensuring that other road users feel confident and comfortable around our technology. is there a lack of oversight here? i think what you have is well-intentioned action, but it's just not comprehensive enough. california congressman kevin mullin says the department of transportation is falling short of its watchdog responsibilities. he wants the agency to force driverless car companies to reveal how often their vehicles are involved in a near miss. right now, they only have to disclose details on actual collisions, federal transportation officials tell us they have six ongoing safety investigations into driverless car companies, including waymo and cruise. but the agency wouldn't comment on the congressman's request to expand reporting requirements. the national data that's being captured is really limited. what's available now isn't really telling the whole story.

that's right. the data is crucial in crafting regulations that compel these companies to focus on these areas of safety concern. while driverless car companies can keep their close calls secret, we still found a paper trail. we obtained complaint records submitted to the california dmv more than 200 last year. nearly all involved waymo and its competitor gm's cruise, about 30% of complaints detailed safety concerns in crosswalks. we shouldn't have to be their crash test dummies. i've almost been hit. it didn't slow down at all. we had to hit the car with our hand before it stopped. law enforcement tells us people need to be completely out of the crosswalk before cars are allowed to drive through, and if there's a concrete median , those walking need to have at least cleared that side of the street. but our past reporting has raised concerns about how often driverless cars comply, including when small children

are involved. cruise declined our interview request. the company is still working to address safety concerns after pulling its entire fleet of driverless cars off the road last october amid accusations from california regulators that its vehicles posed a public safety risk. cruise, in a statement, said its cars are designed to detect, track and predict the behavior of road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, adding we have a dedicated team that investigates concerns and the insights gathered help our autonomous vehicles improve. waymo, in its statement, said its tens of thousands of rides every week are significantly reducing injuries and crashes compared to human drivers. you've identified some pretty discernible patterns . we shared our findings with congressman mullin. these are complaints coming from different people from different parts of the state, sharing some pretty eerily similar safety concerns. does that worry you? it absolutely worries me. those kinds of incidents where

people's lives are put at risk, but it's not reportable. now so we need to be looking at those by by theresa dawn says she's already seen the risks headed straight towards her and the kids she's trying to protect. do you worry one of the children that you see could get hurt? yes. my main concern is just making sure that they get to school safely and that they go back home safely with the investigative unit. i'm bigad ban still ahead, already making a mark before graduating from college. how a bay area woman helps her fellow students and her community while earning a degree. it's a story that will make you bay area proud. we had warmer weather here on this sunday. we did see 70s round san jose, but later this week mid 80s in reaching that workweek forecast, we'll t

without enough food to eat. no place is immune. not even an elite four year university in san francisco. but a student there had been stepping up to help. garvin thomas joins us now with her story in tonight's bay area. proud one of the traditions of graduation weekend is students showing their family the places that have influenced

and inspired them over the past few years. usf is proud of the graduate for graduate maria bochenski, though that was going to mean taking her parents off the university of san francisco campus to just outside the 16th and mission bart station. thanks, dad. you're getting into it. it's here. for the past three years, malia has been coming every thursday evening to share food. there you go. with those who could use some. we'd love to have it with everyone. the meals malia normally serves on these evenings are made up of excess food gathered from usf dining halls and the san francisco food market. it is part of malia's effort to bridge the gap between those who have too much food with those who don't have enough. this is what i'm passionate about. this is what i'm interested in. if i see a problem and i know, like, awesome. this is this lines up with everything i stand for. like i will 100% go for it. and then you go down the stairs. but it's not just out in the community that malia has made

her mark. it's right on campus, too. when malia started with the food recovery network at usf, its food pantry for students was not the easiest to find. it was housed in the basement of the school library. it was right in this room was the in a closet original food pantry. it definitely was something. it felt like we wanted to keep it hidden. we maybe didn't want to talk about bread. sometimes. these days, though, it has found a much more spacious home. the food recovery network's weekly food giveaways, now in the library's main lobby and featuring much fresher food, will regularly draw in 100 students. malia helped make it the less stigma there was among students about using it, which is just what she wanted to happen. yeah it's awesome and it's grown into something that's people will come and hand out cookies or make coffee. it's a very like it's something that students are super excited to get involved with, to come to usf as the end of a college career is typically a time when

students look forward to all the change they're going to make in the world. malia estudillo avenue fox bruin theater. of course, there will always be those who don't want to wait until graduation to get started. garvin thomas great job. she's doing a fantastic job there at usf. rob mayeda here now and, to holiday tomorrow. a lot of people are out and about and it's going to be just nice. it is a lot like today. so if you really like today, you're going to love. tomorrow. we're going to be watching a bit of a warm up later this week. so a bit of a roller coaster ride, slight cool down heading towards tuesday, but the second half of the week and early summer preview where temperatures are concerned, especially in those east bay and south bay valleys right now, watching the low clouds nearby sfo 55 degrees. if you have flights to the east coast tomorrow, call ahead. severe weather rolling out from the midwest heading towards the east coast might see some flight delays tomorrow. for those east coast airports, so check on that if you're heading that way tomorrow. 60 currently in walnut

creek. kind of mild out there in contra costa county and down to 58 degrees in san jose. now air quality locally is pretty good, except one area will show you that coming up in the east bay in terms of pollen, the numbers have come down from the high category for tree pollen, but you've got moderate for all of cedar and pine grass. pollen has come down. that's some good news in terms of weed pollen. it's ragweed and nettle, which is in the low category. so now about the smoke from that lumber facility, fire along 880 reports of smoke and ash out towards lamorinda lafayette police reporting that about two hours ago, given the wind direction, i think there's a chance you might smell some of that smoke, obviously not just around oakland or san leandro, but maybe into the tri-valley and out towards concord for the morning as winds will continue to be out of the west, we wake up to some patchy low clouds. more sunshine inland for the afternoon morning temperatures starting off 40 to low 50s. and just like today, sunshine inland, lunchtime temperatures in the 70s inland and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s inland.

for your monday forecast tuesday numbers will come down a little bit. you're seeing that there on the 7-day forecast at the bottom of the screen wednesday, thursday and friday. this is where the warm up really starts to kick in moving forward thursday into friday. there's a look at some summer-like temperatures mid 80s around the north bay valleys 90s possible in solano county, mid 80s in san jose and some 70s bayside, san francisco in with the trend of slight warming as we go through the second half of the week, mostly into thursday and friday, and we get that warm up inland wednesday, thursday, friday, and then trending cooler again as the sea breeze picks back up. this time next weekend. pretty nice looking 7-day forecast ahead. and we've got june a few days away. it is crazy. rob thank you very much. and coming up the official start to summer not enough to help the box office slump. the memorial weekend box office hitting a decas low

angry little guy. yeah. neither the garfield movie nor furious issa a mad max saga could save memorial day weekend. sony's garfield movie claiming number one for the entire four day weekend, estimated $32 million in ticket sales through memorial day. now furiosa, the mad max prequel, claimed the first place spot for the friday, saturday, sunday weekend just three of the four days with 25.6 million. that's according to studio estimates today. aside from memorial day in 2020, when theaters were closed because of covid 19, these are the lowest earning number one movies in 29 years. since castle air earned 22.5 mil in its first four days back in 1995. we're back with
