6:02 am
on a friday. we like you the other days of the week as well. i'm reed cowan. >> we do. but we're happy you are here on this friday. because the weekend is just around the corner. i'm gianna franco. and hopefully you got some nice plans and the weather won't really mess it up. >> for sure and you know what? major story to the first responders this morning because we start with breaking news. we're talking about this. a major building fire in san francisco. this is what it looks like at lyon and clay street in the presidio heights neighborhood appeared to be building under construction or perhaps under renovation. the fire department gave us this video and some of these images and they reported earlier this there was heavy fire on all four floors. it took about 60 firefighters on the scene shooting water up into that building. you can also see they have lights atop that very long ladder to try to see exactly what they're dealing with. at last word, this was a two alarm fire. apparently this is been knocked down but crews are now working to put out any hotspots but we're hearing from a lot of you about smoky conditions as you wake up in the area and
6:03 am
we'vefuls understood those are improving a little bit. homes on each side of the building evacuated this morning. so that's a new layer to the story. we don't know where the people were evacuated to but we're working to get that. no reports of any injuries thankfully and we've got a cow on the way@scene and a live report as soon as they get there. because of that fire, reed, there are some closures to streets in and around the area, zoom in here and you can see where that icon is kind of near the western addition. roads are blocked on lyon street both directions from washington street to sacramento street. no word until those lanes open up when they will open up. a lot of activities a reed just talked about still in and around is that area. and a lot of smoke even though it's improved still might seem very smoky as you travel through there. that could affect visibility so again, road closures on lyon street both directions from washington to sacramento street. so try to avoid the area if you can. we'll check to see if there are any updates for any buses or mta travels through there in
6:04 am
the meantime. all right. let's get a check on the forecast this morning. as we check in with darren and darren, how's the weather looking? >> got a little bit of light rainout there morning. has not been equal by the way for everybody. it's kind of the typical pattern where you have really got to be near the coast to have gotten much of this rain. and that's where you are going to see we've got some rainfalltotals that have shown up out here. you can really see the pattern. about 0.04 of rain so far in san francisco and about 0.03 of rain down here in redwood city but not much elsewhere. let's come over this way. see them bet e for redwood city and san francisco and but if you go inland, you really haven't gotten much that you can measure from this stuff. let's look at it another way. and we'll visualize this now using the actual forecast imagery and i can put first alert doppler behind me. it's the coast you are going to see and the hills of the peninsula which have gotten the lighter rain out of this and the east bay hills too but notice that's it. you
6:05 am
don't really get much more rain. let me show you how that could change because in the afternoon today, you can pick up a few scattered showers that are going to work their way down the coastline and i don't think we'll get a lot out of this really. there's going to be thunderstorms in the central valley while all that's happening. so there's definitely something going on here. there's a weak weather system moving through the state today. but the complicated part of this forecast is for most of the day you are actually going to have more blue sky than anything else and here's how you might feel this the most. and it would be the wind. so if we watch this through the afternoon screen lights up right there. 40-mile an hour gusts perhaps along the coast. that's probably the bigger impact from today. a windy day if you are anywhere near the coast. and about a 25-mile an hour breeze if you are inland. daytime highs today will probably go to mid- to upper 60s and we'll look ahead to the weekend coming up in the full forecast just a few minutes. for now, gianna, how's the drive look? all right, darren, thank you. let's get a look at this morning's top stories. today the oakland police department will be holding open memorial
6:06 am
service for former officer wingate. he died from injuries he received from a car crash while on duty back in august of 2018. the memorial will be taking place at three crosses church on john drive in castro valley and services will begin at 11:00 a.m. over in pleasanton, a community is in mourning after a tri-valley family of four including two children were killed in a fiery car crash. it happened yesterday on the western edge of the city on foothill road between stone ridge drive. friends of the family showed up to lay flowers at the crash site. >> it's very shocking. you know. very nice person, always -- you know, energetic. and it was always a pleasure to welcome with him and talk with him and a lot of conversation. >> no other cars were involved. but sadly this is not the first time tragedy has struck on foothill road in pleasanton. there have been four other deadly crashes in the last two decades. including one that happened on christmas night of 2019. twin teenage brothers and
6:07 am
their friends were killed. the vehicle also slammed into a tree. well, turning to san francisco. parking enforcement officers are saying they are under attack and they're afraid it's only going to get worse. their cries for help come as the city plans to issue a whole lot more tickets in the coming weeks and months. >> some guy got upset because they got ticket so he followed me about two, three blocks and waited for me and punched the window and it cut my eye. >> a sfmta spokesperson says they prioritize their employees' safety and that crime is down 48% since 2018. they also say that officers get de-escalation training, self-defense tools and have access to a dispatch center that communicates directly to police. all right, so let us know what you think of this. let's have a community conversation. students who have worked hard to get their degrees at usc will now not experience their main stage graduation ceremonies because of pro palestinian protests. protesting students t some campuses across the country
6:08 am
alleging their universities have ties with israel that should be cut. at the same time, jewish students say some of the phrases used during protests across the country cause them to feel unsafe. here's jarred hill. [ chanting ] >> reporter: at emory university, clashes between police and pro palestinian protesters. it's the latest escalation as students and faculty at campuses across the country mobilize against israel's war with hamas in gaza. at the university of texas austin, a calmer day than the one before when more than 50 people were arrested. students though still pushed for the university to cut ties with the israeli government. >> it is my understanding that the university of texas at austin funds research that israel directly benefits from. >> reporter: at the same time, a small group of jewish students held a separate rally, making their voices heard. >> i hear their side and i understand that. but when they start attacking the religion and ethnicity and not the country, that's when it becomes an issue for me. >> reporter: at california's ucla, efforts to strike a
6:09 am
balance in the rhetoric. >> i do feel there are elements of anti-semitism, deep anti-semitism, especially when you hear chants like "long live intifada" and "from the river to the sea." i'm trying to avoid any sort of slogan like that on our side. >> reporter: back at columbia university, the epicenter of the protests, tents still cover the lawn as negotiations and graduation preps continue. >> so yesterday, we showed you live protests encampments in berkeley and this morning looking live at a student encampment at stanford university. these students also say their university has ties to israel via investments and they want total divestiture. the encampment at stanford first showed up last night with more than 100 students setting up tents and signs saying divest now and hand off rafah. rafah of course is in gaza or near gaza and it's where more than a million people are in shelter this morning. it's also where israel has said they plan a ground invasion. so they want hands off rafah. but this
6:10 am
is the second pro palestinian demonstration by students at stanford. first one lasted 120 days and disbanded in february. that was in exchange for meetings with university leadership where students say they were able to express their concerns. now berkeley too is the site of an encampment. protests with more than 100 people in tents at sproul plaza and we followed this last several months. the students are demanding their university take an official position against the war in gaza. >> it is absolutely ridiculous that the university that prides itself on diversity, equity and inclusion, berkeley specifically, on having a very radical history of student organizing, refuses to stand on the side of justice and divest. >> as other campuses in the country see arrests by police you might be wondering why we've not heard of arrests on bay area campuses. well, cal released a statement saying they will not involve law enforcement unless it's absolutely necessary. to protect the physical safety of the campus community. because of its experience with non-violent political protests.
6:11 am
meanwhile, governor gavin newsom also answering the question about response to protests and here's what he had to say. >> we're working with the trustees and with the university systems as it relates to our public role and responsibility. and so we're very mindful of what's going on in the campuses and want the maintain people's rights to protest at the same time do so peacefully. without any hate. we don't want -- any more, you know, i just want to avoid lot of what we're seeing in other parts of the country. >> well, protests happened here across and ton tremendous we are reminds also this morning of more than 100 hostages held by hamas this morning. they've been in captivity six months and this morning, president joe biden echoes the calls of 17 other world leaders demanding hamas release the hostages taken in its terror attack that killed about 1200 people in southern israel. so for continuing congress on what's happening in the middle east the occupation at uc berkeley and other college campuses in the country. stay with us on
6:12 am
air and on our website. kpix.com and also streaming 24/7 on the cbs news app. 6:11 on this friday morning. celebrating bridge builders. giving people a second chance. the job fair making sure former inmates have a chance at a productive life. and underdog story in the bay area. the soccer team ( ♪♪ ) you made a cow! actually it's a piggy bank. my inspiration to start saving. how about a more solid way to save? i'm listening.
6:13 am
6:15 am
all right, seeing and celebrating bridge builders this time in alameda county connecting hundreds of former inmates with local businesses and nonprofits to give them a second chance at productive life. they're given opportunity to start again right? job training, social services, even giving them haircuts and head shots. >> we live in a world where second chances make a big difference. you know. people make mistakes. but everybody deserves an opportunity to grow from those mistakes and do better in life. >> this is alameda's second time honoring national second chance month. now taking a live look outside on this friday morning. and we've been covering that breaking news of a fire in presidio heights. and we're wanting to talk to darren peck and we have some winds so that's likely why we're able to report this morning that the smoke cleared rather quickly from that fire. darren? >> blew it out of the way and smoke can be a hindrance or help sometimes. and in that case, it was able to clear things out fairly quickly. little bit of light rain falling out there too. not the kind of rain that would really
6:16 am
have a significant impact on putting adult fire but at least more humidity in the air and a little dampness out there. you are going to have to con tend with that too on the roads let's get on the virtual map. pretty breaks in the cloud there over the golden gate bridge but in general we've had an increase in clouds and light rainfall along the coast and look at the numbers, we've gotten about 0.# 4 of rain that's fallen in san francisco. look back towards petaluma. you have gotten about 0.02 of rain and you can see half-moon bay is also gotten about 0.04 of rain on there too. but look at the rest of the map. go inland and really nothing. you really needed to be near the coast to get any light rain out of this. let's say good-bye to the virtual map and get back@actual forecast imagery and i'm going to show you how this system is put together. for this morning. little bit of light rain having already come down along the coast through san mateo county. the santa cruz mountains. and the east bay hills. there's not a lot to it. but you do see a few light showers on there. most of that now down like
6:17 am
around like -- skyline boulevard and you can see aplite l bit showing up for the east bay hills and there's more of this coming today. and there's also more of the openings in the sky that we just saw over the golden gate bridge. it's a weird day because you are wail going to get more blue sky today than you will anything else but all the while a little bit of rain here off the coast and you can see the showers there and there will be isolated showers and occasional thunderstorms moving down the central valley. while, for the most part, we're looking at relatively clear skies here at home. so it's not so much that this is a big rain day. it's not. you might get a drop or two and that's about it kind of like the totals we were just looking at. instead the way the system is really going to be felt will be the wind and you can see what happens there in the afternoon. those are pretty strong northerly winds that start picking up down the coast. let's come in for a closer view so you can pick out your part of the bay and play it again. howl strong for you? same story as the one we did at the start of this where we were using the virtual map to show how the coast feels it more.
6:18 am
inland doesn't. so if we get rain along the coast today and you really dent goat anything inland it's also that story for a afternoon winds. 40-mile an hour gusts along the coast today. and like a 20, 25-mile an hour wind if you are inland. this is not strong enough for a wind advisory, the national weather service has not issued one of those. but doesn't mean that you are not going to notice this. it is going to add a little bit of a windchill on the day. you will get blue skies and everyone once in a while maybe a stray drop of rain comes through today and it's a bit windy. that's it. that's friday. great news for the weekend. the wind will calm down a lot and a lot more sunshine. and for saturday and sunday, you will be sitting in the mid 70s so you have got a great weekend coming your way. no more rain. very little in the way of wind. and then a noticeable warm-up back here. but the the middle of this coming week, over to you gianna. not typically what we sue for a friday. extra busy ride into san francisco this
6:19 am
morning. give yourself few extra minutes because this is a little unexpected. we had reports of a crash not too far from the upper deck and that might be what caused a few blood clots there. other than that pretty quiet on 880. no delays on 101 and looking at the maps we're seeing okay commute as you come through that area near 680 but speaking of northbound 680 between coopman and that 58 o and 680 dublin interchange there will be a freeway closure this weekend. doe tours will be in place. but if you are traveling in and around that area, definitely plan for some brake lights and delays and westbound 37 also a freeway closure between mare island and seres point that will certainly slow you down. live look at the golden gate bridge. and you can see it looking pret
6:22 am
9ered made a surprise move last night in the nfl draft. the niners were widely expected to trade up in the draft by giving up one of their stars instead they held on to their current players. thankfully. and used their number 31 pick totake a young man they hope will add to their offense. >> with the 31st pick in the 2024 nfl draft, the san francisco 49ers select ricky pearsall, wide receiver, florida. >> well, the speedy pearsall caught 65 passes for 965 yards last season with the gators and start his college career at arizona state where he was teammates with brandon aiyuk and in 2019. the pick came amid
6:23 am
speculation that the finest could trade him or even deebo samuel during the draft but aiyuk actually approved of the selection. >> brandon just texted. [ laughter ] >> on the way in. >> yeah. fire pick. >> fire pick. no lie. >> can't lie. [ laughter ] >> just got off the phone with him before i got over here on this zoom call. and he was just congratulating me man, and just -- you know, getting on the call and telling me over and over again you are a first rounder man. like soak it up and you deserve it all the work that i put in because it's been lot of work put in since the last day we ran routes together. >> welcome to the niners. all right, interest in soccer is on the upswing in the bay area. thanks in part the newly formed oakland roots as well as an older club from san francisco. whose name you are just as likely to see on a bag of tacos as you are on the pitch. loureen ayyoub explains. >> reporter: from the kitchen to the field, the el farolito story may have began with tacos. but it's moving forward with new goals. every kick gets him closer to his goal. gabriel arias is a center midfielder
6:24 am
with the el farolito amateur soccer club in san francisco. the team, started back in 1985, named after the owner's chain of beloved bay area taquerias. at 25 years old, even after college, gabriel says he's grateful to have an outlet to continue to do what he loves, with a community he's grown to love. >> it means a lot. peace of mind to me. being able to step on the field with my teammates. like, to call them brothers. >> reporter: a team of brothers of all ages and backgrounds. the club team plays in the national premier soccer league and while the players are all passionate about the sport, most have regular day jobs to allow them to continue to do what they love. as for gabriel, he's been working hard to balance being a construction engineer by day and soccer athlete by night. he hopes to play professionally one day, but sometimes, even during practice, those work demands continue. >> it's a whole different world being an engineer in the field
6:25 am
of construction. there's way more stuff going on. when you come here, it's all just brotherhood. >> reporter: a brotherhood that evolved when the original owner of el farolito's, salvador lopez, opened his first taqueria in the mission. now with 12 locations throughout the bay area, diners who frequent the chain like taylor burkes love supporting the sport too. >> i love soccer and i'm a soccer player myself. so it's good to support soccer wherever i can. and the burritos are good, so it's a win/win. >> reporter: speaking of winning, from the open cup to their strong standings in the npsl, just how far can el faro go? well, according to gabriel, all the way. he wants people to know just how passionate the bay area soccer scene is. >> there's great talent here, you know. more scouts should come out here and look at all the talent there is. >> reporter: talent, passion, and limitless "goals." >> reggie bush's 2005 heisman
6:26 am
trophy has been reinstated by the trust. closing a controversial saga nearly 20 years in the makings for former usc running back in an exclusive interview with janie yucas. she sat down with reggie on thursday and disdoesed what it means to get the heisman trophy back. >> what was it like to hold that for the first time? after all these years. >> it was as heavy as i remember it. [ laughter ] the first thing i did was pick it up and was like, it's still heavy. >> the fight that you have been fighting for so long. what emotion came up through you? >> you know what, i think when you manifested this for so long, right? and you have been -- i think through the ups and the downs for so many years, i have cried over it and i have. you know, but i feel like at this point -- more about just taking it in and just being happy and just enjoying the moment. and celebrating with my guys. with my family that was there. and just knowing that we did this. >> well, bush tells yucas more about what the moment means to him and his ongoing lawsuit against the ncaa. you can see
6:27 am
6:28 am
6:30 am
following up on that breaking news we've been bringing you all morning. major building fire in san francisco's presidio heights neighborhood. the fire department says there was a heavy fire on all floors a building under construction. >> yeah, shawn chitnis joins us from the scene right now at lyon and clay streets and shawn, what's the latest? >> reporter: well, reed and gianna, firefighters now trying to get the fire under control for two hours now. they do have it locked down and want to make sure there are no lingering issues. let me step out of the way so you can see what it looks like. [ inaudible ] you can see -- with all that scaffolding. that certainly got in the way of firefighters trying to make their response. they got here just around 4:30 in the morning. and said that there was heavy fire and smoke
6:31 am
on the scene and quickly became a second alarm fire and thankfully they didn't have to rescue anyone and they have not been in contact with anyone who lives in this particular building. but because of the way the fire was spread and of course how close homes are here in san francisco, they did have to evacuate people on either side of that building. and there are no injuries to report at this time as well. it's still too early to figure out what the cause may be. but firefighters saying that they did have to work their way through all those floors because of the way the building is set up specifically were using the ladder type operations that are still out here that allow them to kind of get the water in from above and they have some of those challenges related to the scaffolding. they were able to get the major part of the fire knocked down but still on scene here concerned about any issues that may pop up while that fire is -- the building is still obviously hot. and then of
6:32 am
course there's the impact to the surrounding area here at clay and lyon. a lot of folks had to be evacuated and the intersection is still closed off and likely will be for much of this morning. likely want to avoid that intersection as well as the surrounding streets because firefighters are not ready to clear the area just yet. gianna, over to you. >> yeah, i'm glad you mentioned that had shawn because we do want to talk about the traffic impact in and around there. because of the fire crews and as you saw in the live shot, there are still so much activity happening. again, this is on lyon street both directions between washington and sacramento street. lyon street is completely shut down and washington and sacramento are still open. you can utilize that instead. there are very easy alternates and this around that area, didn't luke like it's causing nibs for buses or muni right now. again lion
6:33 am
street completely shut down with the building fire. continue to update you that. but we were concerned because of the smoke we heard could have been an issue in and around there. but the wind now might push that out of the way. in terms of dispersing the smoke and we were just causing all the cameras we have on salesforce tower and no spoke over the city from that. of course, fire department has done a real good job on that and really been able to tamp down a lot on that. it's not like there's a big plume emanating from it. at least none that we're able to track. so let's move on to things that we're able to see. couple of things about this morning we have already gotten enough light rain that some of the rain gauges have tipped and you got to be in the right place and basically you need to be near the coast and san francisco has 0.# 4 of rain and half-moon bay 0.04 of rain out of this so far. but inland, nothing. no rain unless you are here along the coast or on one
6:34 am
of the hills. so that's the way this system kind of goes. it doesn't really have the ability to produce much in terms of significant rain. but it's going to be around through the day and i think the number one way we're really going to feel this is going to be in the afternoon when the wind picks up. so let's look at it on first alert doppler right now. and there's our view by the way we're looking over the city. it's a beautiful day out this. but the skies do look busy. a lot of big billowing clouds and plenty of breaks of blue sky as well. don't let the breaks fool you. the way the system put together, it's going to be spotty showers and i don't really see anything significant right now on first alert doppler. so we're going to skip past this and just go right to the futurecast to see if there's anything coming. and you will see a few blips that show up here in the afternoon. really insignificant stuff. it's central valley where we're going to have some isolated showers and on occasion normal thunderstorm but here at home never know that happened. more blue sky than anything else. the main issue with today's system is actually the wind. so when we get back together in the complete forecast talk about
6:35 am
that. 40-mile an hour gusts on the coast today. and then we'll look ahead to the weekend. for now guys, back to you. >> all right. thank you. reaction this morning to news of disgraced movie producer harvey weinstein's 2020 rape conviction it was overturned by the new york court of appeal. the court ruled that harvey weinstein didn't get a fair trial and really the crux of this argument in weinstein's new york case is that the judge allowed women to testify against him who were not a part of the charges or the criminal prosecution. but prosecutors vow to try him again and they'll say see you in court. this ruling was not a get out of jail free card for weinstein. still behind bars serving 16 years in a sentence on a rape case in california. former president donald trump will be back in a manhattan courtroom this morning. trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star stormy daniels. david pecker, the former publisher of the national encanerrer will take to the
6:36 am
stand. we'll be watching. meantime the supreme court considering a major question that could have huge impact on donald trump and his future. here's their question. can a president or former president expect total immunity for choices made in office? justices heard arguments that would give sway. the decision by the way is likely to have huge implications on special counsel jack smith's election interference case against donald trump as well as in year's presidential race. newly returned from china, san francisco mayor london breed now on the stump for votes in san francisco. she wants to keep her job and is making the case to voters at the neighborhood level. she's got some major opposition you see here. several high-profile challengers. campaigning on promises of change. each touting their own solutions to the city's problems from crime to the housing crisis. the candidates are all deploying a strategy and that is to get into neighborhoods to have face-to-face conversations and wilson walker went along with
6:37 am
mayor breed who is doing the same. this time at san bruno avenue in the portola district. >> oh my goodness. you -- leon, you got my grandmothers out here in the cold. >> reporter: in a blustery afternoon wind, mayor london breed hit san bruno avenue, going door-to-door along a business corridor with a large chinese population in a sure sign that the campaign and hand to hand politics are well under way. [ laughter ] >> come on. come on. >> reporter: accompanied by the woman she calls her asian grandmother, breed led a team of supporters up and down the street for some voter outreach. her other job was never far away. >> i was asking the mayor if she's going to be fixing the potholes on mission street here in san francisco. we do a lot of low riding there and our cars are getting messed up. >> you say low rider. i'll talk to roberto. yeah. >> all right, that's good.
6:38 am
>> my hope is that by being out here, i can answer questions and i can deal with people's issues and concerns. i mean, even -- a speed bump that still hasn't happened. >> reporter: beyond the job of being mayor, breed must also convince residents that things are getting better in san francisco. something you do hear in the city quite a bit. however -- do you feel enough people feel that way? and will ultimately, in a couple of months, decide to give you credit? >> well, my hope is to get credit for it and like today out here in san bruno, i am talking to people about the various programs that we provide for the city. people are realizing that it is attributed to the work that i am doing as mayor. >> reporter: so the posters went up along san bruno, in some cases right alongside those of an opponent. a reminder that this is a complicated race for the mayor as voters have options. it's hard to have a conversation about the race with anyone in the city and they don't mention rank choice voting. do you have
6:39 am
any thoughts on that? >> well, my thoughts are it's important for me to run my race. and to talk about all the things that i have done and the fact is, and just to talk about safety, crime is down lower than it's been in ten years. not including the pandemic. and even in 2024, it's continuing to trend down. so we are seeing the difference, but we also have to make sure people feel the difference. so when you hear people say it's getting better, they're starting to feel it. but we want them to feel it more consistently. and i think that's going to be a determining factor when folks go to the polls. you know, whether or not they see the consistency, and we have plenty of time to get there. >> reporter: now the mayor had made one neighborhood walk-about since her return from china and that was in chinatown. probably gives you a pretty idea of how the mayor's campaign team sees this race taking shape with just over 190 days to go until election day.
6:40 am
>> wilson walker is there. one of the big issues san francisco's new mayor will face. the wave of major store closures downtown. from the owner of the west field mall walking away if the property to macy's, there are impacts and in fact one small business owner says she is an example of the problem. sasha darling opened her boutique store in the mission district believing in the neighborhood in 2007 but ten years later, her landlord raised the rent in $3,000 to $8,000 a month. and added to that she says concerns about crime and lack of foot traffic since the pandemic. so guess what? sasha now relocated to los angeles. >> i mean, i was definitely one of the people that hadn't spent any time in the bay area -- but being in bay area. >> darling says the change of scenery opened her mind and she also said the move helped her
6:41 am

6:51 am
or the bay. leave behind that picture and of course where we're woe fusted could be here in the city where it's not so much any smoke that was coming off that fire. instead what we're really visualizing this morning are the clouds and the rain. rainfall totals on clear. a clear pattern showed up in term of who's gotten light rain this morning. petaluma couple hundredths and san francisco 0.# 4 of rain. now look inland. nothing. this was the kind of rain this morning where if you were going to get anything, you really needed to be near the coast or in the hills. i think it's going to go that way largely for the rest of today. but there's always going to be this chance for a stray shower. let's get over to the forecast imagery and i'll show you why i would say that. the weak system just kind of hanging out over the bay today. more blue sky actually than anything else. but as we check in on where the latest bands of rain are, basically you need to be down along like the santa cruz mountains. or in the east bay hills if you are going to find anything which tells us
6:52 am
there's really not much at this point. what happens next though? watch off the coast. and you will see a few light showers that just kind of keep loitering out there. i think very few of them get on shore and in fact more blue sky than anything else. there will be thunderstorms to the east today but that's going to be over there. in the central valley. we're going to be looking t more blue sky today with wind. and the wind is the bigger impact. so just like we were spotlighting the coast, for the only place that's gotten measurable rain. the place with the most wind today is the coast. 40-mile an hour gusts there and anywhere near the coast or a gap in the hills, golden gate bridge is a pretty good gap. petaluma pretty good as well up through sonoma county. pretty windy last night from the same pattern. but also oriented a little differently. more northwest wind. you may not feel it as much for the inland valleys as you did yesterday. but the general theme is these wind speeds today will be little bit stronger for most of us. than they were yesterday. and look
6:53 am
at the difference. you have got your 40-mile an hour gusts of northwest winds along the coast. but look inland. like 20-mile an hour breeze. so really what that means more than anything else? windchill. it's going to feel colder. so the temperatures are going to be in the mid- to upper 60s today. you will get plenty of breaks of blue sky but the wind will make it feel kind of cold and that will be probably the defining factor on this day. look at the 7 day forecast. you can't quite go by that 67. it's going to feel more like low 60s. okay for the weekend. we're going to start turning the wind down and we're going to get more sunshine and we're going to warm up. there's no threat of rain. you got a great weekend coming your way but sunny and warmer you have to get back here to next week and that's when we approach 80 degrees once again. all right, guys, back to you. >> darren i felt kind of meh when i woke up and i had the use the wipers and then i see all the sun coming our way and makes me very happy for the weekend. okay here, live look at 80 near the bay bridge. or at the bay bridge rather as
