5:02 am
scarf on you in the next visit the way things are going outside. >> a scarf? i believe they call that an ascot for us gentlemen. >> gianna find a parka soon. it's a good idea the clouds are back and it's not the same kind of marine layer that it was over the last few mornings. but the truth is, it's going to look the same. at least through the morning hours. i think we will get a few breaks from the clouds today. but the real story is what we can already see on first alert doppler. there's rain off the far northwest coast and that's the system that by tomorrow is going to try not successfully, but it is going to troy, to bring us a few light showers tomorrow. the real story from that would be the winds. going to get a little breezy tomorrow. so we really have to get through like the next two solid days before we're going to turn. and there are daytime highs in the 7 day forecast that go back to the 80s. they're coming. we're almost there. but we're not there yet. we're definitely not there now. so if you are
5:03 am
getting ready to step out the door here are the numbers. 48 los gatos and 51 for the tri-valley. and as we look across the rest of the bay, everybody's pretty much got the same story here. the -- there's less likelihood this morning of getting the light mist on the drive in. it's a slightly different kind of marine layer this morning and we'll take a look ahead in the 7 day forecast. sunshine and 80s coming. for now gianna how's the drive look? off to a good start. thankfully on this thursday morning. as we take a live look at some of the bay area bridges. moving along well both directions at the san mateo bridge. if you are headed towards the golden gate bridge, they have yet to do the lean changes adding that extra lane for southbound commuters for the morning drive. and right now, things are moving along smoothly for that commute as you head into san francisco. and no metering lights just yet at the bay bridge. we'll let you know if that changes but in the meantime things are moving along pretty nicely as you work across the span to the upper deck heading into san
5:04 am
francisco. really no major issues or delays right now. uc berkeley the scene of protests. we start with students on the steps of vow hall accusing the university of having ties to corporations that support israel in its war to uproot hamas in the palestinian territories. >> i absolutely think the encampment is really showing that -- palestinians are not alone in their struggle. we are trying to emphasize that as the palestinians have shown us over last seven months in the face of this genocide, that, you know, that they are here to stay. you know, and so are we until uc divests we're not going anywhere. >> protesters want the university to cut ties with israeli universities and programs and enact policies to protect palestinian students. so far, no reported arrests at berkeley but mass arrests and clashes with police and pry yacht gear peppering protesters all across the country. arrests in texas and cal poly humboldt and even up at usc. take a look
5:05 am
at the footage up close with the tension. that's usc's alumni park. at one point officers took students away in zip tie handcuffs and nearly 100 people arrested after police warned protesters to disperse. then in texas, troopers on horseback at the university of austin. 34 arrests there. in fact, watch this video during one of the clashes. that's what crowd control by the hundreds of officers and deputies looked like in texas. in fact, crews with cbs austin news even shoved to the ground and in fact two members of the media among 34 total arrests there. in california, this campus closed at cal poly humboldt. two campus buildings occupied this morning by protesters who have barricaded themselves in a bitting that they've covered with from tee tee. protesters say they'll continue occupying the buildings until their
5:06 am
demands are met. meanwhile, the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives mike johnson visited columbia university along with his republican clogs there on his left and his right. his mission by and large met with boos from the crowd. as he sought to advocate for jewish students to feel safe on campus. at one point, johnson called for columbia's president to resign for failing to quickly dismantle those encampments on campus. listen. >> traditions of the university are being overtaken budget right now by radical and extreme ideologies and they place a target on the backs of jewish students. >> in fact, jewish students across the country reporting feeling unsafe on many campuses and hope for de-escalation. and the release of more than 100 hostages still held by hamas this morning. columbia officials say they are making progress in negotiating with their demonstrators. reed, for the first time in the seven months since the war in gaza began, the bay area family of an israeli hostage has a glimmer of hope. a video released by hamas appears to
5:07 am
show berkeley born hostage hirsch goldberg pollinia live. this morning we're hearing and seeing him alive. now he was taken hostage in the hamas attack at a music festival. in the video he's speaking in hebrew and his hair is shaved. it's unclear when the video was taken. for his parents, it brings a mix of worry and relief. >> seeing a video of hirsch today is overwhelming. we're relieved to see him alive but we are also concerned about his health and well-being. >> we heard your voice today for the first time in 201 days. and if you can hear us, i am telling you, we are telling you, we love you, stray strong, survive. >> the video has renewed calls for the release of all of the hostages with families and protesters taking to the streets in israel demanding their government do more. gianna? well, it's time now for a look at this morning's other top stories, federal law

5:09 am
on campus. last night the school was evacuated and classes canceled out of an abundance of caution. police say a search of the campus did not find anything suspicious. arizona grand jury has now indicted several former trump officials and associates. it stems from their alleged attempts to use fake electors to overturn results in arizona in the 2020 presidential election. those being charged in arizona including former white house chief of staff mark meadows and former trump attorney rudy giuliani and 16 others. and today in new york, trump's hush money trial resumes after the one day break. former publisher of the "national enquirer" david pecker is expected to be back on the stand. and to promote fake stories about his opponents. during the 2016 presidential campaign. the prosecution and defense are also awaiting the judge's ruling on whether trump violated his gag order. well, time right now 5:09.

5:13 am
that matter, can be criminally prosecuted. and the outcome? could affect the election interference case against donald trump as well as this year's presidential race. skyler henry joins us live with more from the supreme court in washington. not just a ruling but a ruling that could have great sway over what's to come in the next year. good morning. >> reporter: hey reed, good morning to you. history making if you will. that's what these justices could potentially provide here after they listened to these arguments. and really sort of give some insight if you will on the scope of presidential power. as they really look to try to answer an untested legal question. whether a former president can be immune from federal criminal prosecution in an official act. another historic day at the supreme court. to decide whether former president donald trump has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official actions he took while in office. >> we have a big case today in
5:14 am
the supreme court on presidential imnewspaperty. a president has to have immunity if you don't have immunity, you just have a ceremonial president. >> reporter: two lower courts have already rejected trump's claims of immunity. the high court's decision would determine whether or not special counsel jack smith can move forward with his case charging trump with scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election results which trump denies. >> never recognized this sort of immunity from criminal prosecution that trump is requesting. so i think it's a pretty uphill battle for the trump side. >> reporter: if the court rules against the former president'simmunity claims his trial on election interference charges could possibly start before the election this november. though the court could also decide to send the case back to the lower courts. legal experts say that would also add even more delays to the proceedings. >> the supreme court understands that time is of the essence here. and that all sides and the public all want a prompt decision. whatever that may be. >> reporter: the supreme court's decision is expected
5:15 am
to come by early july. and the justices have multiple paths to decide this case and how quickly the court comes to a decision ultimately depends on what these justices look for in terms of an agreement or they could potentially decide to kick this back down to the lower courts in which case, then of course, a trial against the former president would begin. we're here in front of the supreme court, i'm skyler henry, reed, back to you. >> always making us feel and look smarter on the morning show, skyler henry, thank you my friend. coming up at 6:00 a.m. we'll talk live about the significance of the presidential immunity case with the constitutional law professor from santa clara university. well, now let's take a live look outside on this thursday morning. and this is the view from our salesforce tower camera. and it looks a little misty out there. and yesterday, you guys, i treated my outdoor patio with this like anti-moss solution. and it said if it rains, i have to do it all over again. so darren peck, i need 24 hours of dry in the
5:16 am
east bay. or else -- i'm back to work. >> i think you are going to get it. >> all right. >> yay. >> i think you are okay. of course it depends on everyone's personal definition of rain. but you will be okay out there. you might -- might mist a little depends on what elevation you are at. we have not yet discussed that on this show but for the most part, this is a different marine layer. it's not really going to be able to mist anywhere near as much as it did yesterday. and it did for the past couple of mornings. coastal, if you were in the hills there was a little bit of it. but today we don't get that. it will be a bit cloudy today. we'll be just about the same temperature-wise. we get some breaks of blue sky but not a whole lot. and what we're really waiting for is the passage of a weather system that is sitting off the far northwest coast. that different. that's actual rain from an entirely separate system. much -- you know, a little more impressive anyway than our marine layer mist. but even that rain watch what happens when we put it in the futurecast. that system really does kind of fall apart. and it doesn't really deliver much if anything. watch the next two
5:17 am
days and you see the showers kind of really just disappearing. except for one little brand right there that's going to show up on friday. see that one? let's come in for a closer look again and watch this. here's today. so thursday a bit cloudy much like we were yesterday and you can see that next system shows up. a few of these showers perhaps come across as we get into very late tonight. you might get a drop of rain in the evening. and then tomorrow, as we look at friday, where you do see some occasional breaks of blue sky, look at the line right there. we see the complex of showers and maybe even occasional thunderstorm. that's friday night as that move across the central valley and we really don't see much from that at all. so i mean, it's a different setup but in reality, the way the weather is going to look and feel today is really no different from the way yesterday did. no matter how different the setup in the atmosphere is right now. i think the end result is it's going to look almost the same. here are the daytime highs. mid 60s and you will get a few
5:18 am
breaks of blue sky today. a little more than you did yesterday. but really we're going to have clouds around dominating the day for most of today in general. and then we get to the warm-up. so we're going to look at two 7 day forecasts here. because there are some pretty significant changes coming our way and when you look at the microclimates you can really see how this will be different. this is the inland. let's get the wide view on the 7 day to really differentiate this. we're looking at the inland microclimate here, by the time we get to saturday and sunday, we will break from the clouds. and you will be looking at daytime highs inland that are in the low to mid-70s. but then next week, we're going to warm back up to the low 80s. we're going right back to that really -- notable setup that we'd had last week when we were doing sunny and 80s. that's coming back. now of course that is for the inland microclimates if we look at the bay, you don't quite go that warm. you will be about ten degrees cooler which means only going to the low 70s. this is like -- bayside
5:19 am
for alameda county and san mateo county and the city will probably warm up into the upper 60s at most by then. i don't think we'll get to 730 in the city then. a nice little turnaround. just cloudy and cool and maybe an occasional drop of rain from now through about friday. gianna, how's the drive look? all right, actually looking pretty good out there on the bay area bridges this morning. no complaints you know. i know it's a little tough when the alarm clock goes off and 3:00 in the morning but the good news is you don't have a lot of traffic to deal with on the roadways never you leave early. plenty of time to have thetic traffic cup of coffee and maybe hit and snooze. i know how it that feels. but at the bay bridge toll plaza metering lights are off. in fact, pretty much the case for most of the bay area freeways. again nothing huge or shutting freeways down or lanes blocked. so overall, even if there's any minor spots it's really not causing a big impact to the roadways. and pretty quiet overall as far as that commute into the altamont pass. it is getting slow. but this is very typical for supercommuters
5:20 am
coming out of tracy getting on to 580. for that westbound commute but scale of 1 to 5 we're probably a 1 to 2 depending on the freeway. time now 5:19. taking a live look at levi's stadium, the niners' top brass will be busy tonight. the team is back in the first round for the napa valley ♪ ♪ california sky ♪ ♪ todos alcanzamos las estrellas ♪ ♪ sunny state of mind ♪ ♪ flexin' all the time ♪ ♪ todo es dorado ♪ ♪ feels so golden ♪

5:24 am
year, $62 million contract. now the lefty has lost all three of his starts giving up 15 earned runs. i mean, not a good start at all for him. whatsoever. and i think we sort of had higher hopes but i know he gets off -- it's not uncommon for him to start a little bit rough before he really kicks in. >> yeah, unfortunately, host not going to have the chance to kick in. this is the type of injury that could take just three weeks which we're hopeful as giants' fans that it will or four months. >> wow. >> so you just don't know. with the severity of it like is it a tear? just a strain? i guess time will tell. but right now, i mean, coming off of the three losses, it's just -- it's a bitter taste for giants' fans, that's for sure. >> it's been rough. i mean, a couple of those losses were brutal. yeah. all right, well, maybe he can rest and reset. let's talk some football. we go to detroit where the city is getting ready for a huge weekend. the first round of the nfl draft is tonight in the motor city. now this is a moment many football players have been dreaming of since childhood. and one of those star athletes is from right here in the bay area.
5:25 am
georgia tight end brock bowers is expected to be picked tonight. he might have played college ball in the peach state but grew up in napa. bower went to napa high school where he played football and basketball. and many draft analysts have bowers getting drafted pretty early tonight. possibly within the top ten. the live look at levi's stadium, the 49ers will be picking 31st tonight in the draft. san francisco went the fast two years without a first round pick and as you watch the draft this weekend, you might notice some familiar faces or names. four famous former 49ers could actually have their kids picked this weekend. so let's take a look at them now. here's legend jerry rice. side by side we're going to show a picture of his son brendan. the college receiver spent the last two years with usc. all right, now here's mccaffrey with his son luke. the wide receiver had a great year at rice and he is one of christian's three brothers. how about that? >> impressive. >> i know and continuing a trend of receivers, terrell owens was fun to watch of
5:26 am
course and we wish his son all the success. he finished up his collegecareer at missouri state but before that also went to bishop o'dowd school in oakland. seems like frank gore just ended the playing days and we hope to see frank gore jr. continue his legacy in the nfl. the running back played college ball at southern miss. i mean, tough shoes to fill. but it seems like it runs in the family and they come by it honestly. >> bloodline there of course but when it comes to looking at the player, breaking them down, how much you factor in that legacy right? >> oh, yeah. >> especially the mccaffreys. i mean. >> no pressure there for sure. i mean, how cool is that? all you want for your children is to succeed in life and if they do, you know, go into the family business, so to speak, it's -- really fun to enjoy that all over again from a little bit of a different perspective. >> yeah. we wish them luck. oh such a nervous night for so many hopefuls. >> i know. 5:26. hitting 100. this

5:30 am
look west young man. or young woman out there. as it were. we're at the top of the mark right now and we are scanning the weather. good morning to our friend darren peck joining us once again this morning and darren, nice tie, nice guy. >> thank you very much. that would make a great hashtag actually. we're going to take a look at first alert doppler this morning because there's some rain on it. and this is part of the change that's going to be with us for the next two days. so you can see the rain that's just barely working its way up to humboldt county right now. we can track that and over the next 24 hours some of the showers are going to try to get here. they don't really have much success in doing that. but it is going to get a bit breezy tomorrow as that weak system falls apart. we probably don't even really notice the rain but we do notice the wind by tomorrow afternoon. we'll probably pick up about a 30, 40-mile an hour gust along the coast. that's about it. other than that one
5:31 am
little niche moment in the forecast, there's really not a whole lot of change here. look the same today to what yesterday did. you are going to see more clouds and the marine layer around just about as much as we did but a few more breaks of blue sky than you had yesterday. not much but maybe a few more and to start out the day your temperatures on this thursday morning are in the mid 50s. pretty much right in line with where they'd been maybe a degree or two cooler than where we were yesterday. but it's very subtle and they'll -- there's less of the marine layer misting this morning. it's not quite as deep as it was yesterday. in fact, the whole character of the marine layer is quite different. but it won't look any different. it's important though because it's not going to be able to give us the kind of danens on the roads or windshield wipers needing to be turned on. like they were yesterday at times along the coast. there's a noticeable warm-up coming our way. once we start this weekend. soar into going to look at that in the 7 day forecast coming up just few minutes. right now let's see how the drive is looking. gianna? thank you, darren. looking pretty good. still holding steady with no metering lights
5:32 am
at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see it's a smooth commute into san francisco right now. and it's kind of the story for most of the freeways. getting slightly busier as you head westbound 580 into livermore. that's because we have reports of a crash. brand new one just into the traffic center as you work your way near isabel. now if you are headed east of there, if you are taking that tracy commute out of the area from 205 to 580. that's pretty slow down to about 10 miles per hour with a 46 minute travel time. well, we're life now on the peninsula with an eye-popping price at the gas pump. look at this. we already -- i know. it's shocking. we already know gas prices throughout california are the highest in the country. but this gas station, this is in menlo park. maybe the most expensive in the state with a gallon of regular unleaded soaring above the $7 mark. at the chevron on alameda. that's a lot for -- look -- that's hard to watch. that's hard to see. >> that's a burger. >> that's expensive. >> it's a meal. well, there's some new legal wrangling in the case
5:33 am
against the man accused of murdering his wife and unborn child. scott peterson's renewed effort to free himself. he's helped by a group called the los angeles innocence project. the case hinges on new dna testing and now the prosecutor is filing motion to fight the use of that very testing. reports this morning the da in the case argues 14 items already been tested or not relevant to the case or just don't meet the burden of proof. we will hear from a judge on this latest motion by may 29th. tiktok users listen up. this morning, your representatives in the house in the senate and now in the oval office of the president all on board to force the chinese to sell the video sharing app or have it be banned in the u.s. already, content creators are lawyering up. ready to fight this legislation. tens of thousands of tiktok users may be you this morning, make money from the platform. and its reach to 170 million users in the united states. lawmakers say the app poses major

5:35 am
place. against former san jose mayor sam liccardo who was in first place. if either low or simitian come out on top they will go head-to-head with liccardo in november. but in the area, if that recount leads to another tie, you will see all three on the ballot. we're watching. well, meanwhile, reed, a uc berkeley student is set to make history as the first undergraduate student to win a seat on berkeley's city council. the vote is expected to be certified in the coming days. but she's already declared victory with about 60% of the vote. our itay hod spoke with the cal senior about the importance of having a students' perspective in city politics. >> while most politicians are familiar with the pressures of a campaign trail, cecilia luna par's experience was a bit more -- nuanced. >> reporter: election day wasn't just a milestone in her political career. it was also the day her term paper was due. >> i'm very happy and very

5:48 am
revaluate haven't and today you will. a little more than you did yesterday but not a whole lot. you can see on the futurecast here. there are the breaks and you have got the deck of high clouds streaming overhead. few low clouds beneath and both of them will be broken so you will get openings at times and you are going to see some blue sky today. it won't be like yesterday. but it won't be an all day thing. we're waiting for the passage of a weak little storm off the coast. before we get back into sunshine and 80-degree daytime highs. those are coming back like towards the end of the 7 day forecast. but before we get there, there's a minor little issue with this weak storm sitting here off and coast and you can see the rain on it now. put it into the futurecast we can watch the showers even as soon as very late tonight. could work across parts of the bay. don't be surprised late afternoon and early evening if you get a very short-lived light little shower that comes overhead but really wouldn't amount to much. and then on friday, there might be a few more of those. this is friday. same story on and off clouds. a few hit and miss showers and
5:49 am
look what's going on in the central valley. they're going to get a few isolated thunderstorms tomorrow. that's tomorrow evening. meantime here more blue skies here on friday really than anything else. we're just not going to warm up a whole lot. temperatures will pretty much stay the same. and it's going to be windy on friday. watch what happens as the system passes. the thunderstorms in the central valley the winds really pick up along the coast and in fact we'll look at this more closely to see how this will go. on friday, watch the screen light up as we get into friday afternoon. so we'll see our 30-mile an hour gusts on friday. it's not bad enough for a wind advisory. national weather service hasn't put any of those out. but it does get a bit breezy noticeably. all right, a look at today's daytime highs. knowing that we're going to get a few breaks of blue sky today but like a layer cake of clouds on again/off again. temperatures will go to the mid 60s. for daytime highs for just about everybody. remember the 80s are coming back before long. so this will not stand. it will for a couple of days and we have to get through friday and i think even saturday.
5:50 am
saturday, first part of the weekend, even though we will be looking at more blue skies the temperatures aren't going to warm up a whole lot and it will still be breezy on saturday. you can see that saturday the numbers go up a bit if you are inland low 70s and a little bit of a breeze, by the second half of the weekend and really herbal application week we're going to be back in the low 80s. plenty of sunshine and daytime highs in the low 80s. coming back. all right, gianna, how's the drive looking? you know, not too bad still. i feel like broken record but i have some pretty good news to report for the most part. if you are taking the golden gate bridge this morning you have got a nice ride in store for you. for now. of course with anything that changes on the roadways we'll make sure you are updated and updated quickly. but on the scale of 1 to 5, no problems at all. you are sitting at a 1. look at that. not a lot of cars out there either and just did the lane changes so you now have the extra lane as you cruise through there. in the north bay, northbound highway 1 near bolinas road. reports of a crash and only two lane road
