explains perform >> reporter: i'm at the bridgepoint shopping center in san mateo and this parking lot behind me is where the city says it can build 340 new housing units. the question is how? not just because of limited space, but according to a new lawsuit, there's no evidence that it would be allowed. >> the city says that it believes that 8 1/2 acres could be used for housing, that someone could maybe build a garage and then put housing next to it on 8 1/2 acres of the parking lot. the problem with that is that there's an agreement that goes back to when the center was created that says this place is for retail. >> reporter: that's one of the holes attorney tom mayhew says in the city of san mateo's housing plan. he says there is an agreement here at the
5:03 pm

5:18 pm
place for tomorrow. from a daytime high standpoint and you're all going to notice this, but really those kind of inland locations, look at san jose. your numbers were mid- to upper 70s today, upper 60s tomorrow. look at livermore. you were into the low 80s today, only going to the upper 60s tomorrow. saturday is the coolest day. saturday is the day when the clouds are going to fill back in. it's going to look different, but really it's tomorrow when the cooldown kind of really gets going, not like it's a cold snap or anything, but it's 10 to 15 degrees cooler tomorrow for many of our inland spots, san francisco low 60s. you won't notice a lot of difference in the city or along the coast from today till tomorrow. in those inland valleys you will. temperatures in the north bay are hanging onto a little warmth. it's really the inland east bay and south bay which get a head start on this cooldown which is taking us into saturday. let's look at how this plays out in terms of this for the rest of
5:19 pm
the forecast and what we'll do is use the forecast imagery and leave behind the bottlerock forecast. that's us today, no marine layer. let me show you how this comes back saturday. we'll go back for a wider view and use the forecast imagery to show you the next system coming into the west coast. watch what this thing does. it stays in the pacific northwest, but all of a sudden clouds rush back in. that's saturday, a lot more marine layer and cloudiness than today's satellite and the last several days. let's go closer and watch that again. a few high clouds tonight get pulled overhead. they aren't really that significant. they kind of start the cooldown for tomorrow. what you see show up here going into saturday, it's very subtle, but there was a weak little cold front there. as that thing leaves, behind it the marine layer really rushes in. that is a dramatic
5:20 pm
difference for saturday. we wake up on saturday morning and you're like oh, right, it is may. it's supposed to be gray here in the mornings like bay area-wide in may. it had been easy to forget that the last few days. it's really just saturday it's coming back because of that assist from the weak little cold front over head friday night into saturday. there's going to be so much marine layer to this, as we look at saturday's intrusion right here, there will be a little mist along the coast. saturday morning the marine layer is thick enough we get some of that marine layer mist and some of that will probably even be somewhat measurable like a 0.01-inch of rain. let's put it all in the seven-day forecast and use our inland microclimate first and see what happens here with the theme, saturday inland 67, cloudy in the morning. i think you'll have plenty of sunshine bay area-wide saturday afternoon. it's just the morning saturday we're looking
5:21 pm
at the marine layer gray. by the middle of next week, your daytime highs inland are going back up to the low and mid-60s. we'll do the same thing for our microclimate within the immediate bay itself, similar story in terms of cloudiness through the mornings and sunshine in the afternoon. guys, back to you. >> thank you. protesters returning to the campus of ucla today and not long after so did police. we'll have the very latest from southern california. meet the author who never saw herself in the pages of books. so she decided to write her own story about her own culture. >> so this story's very much about belonging and trying
