new budget plan. 236 bags that was in our community where our children, where our seniors, and where we just live. >> open neighborhoods treated like a dumping ground, the promise to clean up the streets while closing a major budget hole, but can it last? >> oakland is turning the corner. a home gutted by fire covered with handwritten signs, the outpouring of support for a san francisco dog walker who's also reported racist threats, his family's message? >> stop it. we've been in this community for over 50 years. we are not leaving. and they'll be holding court among the colorful floats of carnaval. the new king and queen tell us about the pride and responsibility that comes with wearing the crown. >> give the opportunity to share mine, too. this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich.

>> good evening. thanks for joining us at 6:00. we are following some breaking news. crews in antioch are responding to two brushfires, one of them that's burned about 20 acres of open space off slatten ranch road near the antioch b.a.r.t. station, another a couple miles to the west near the marina. it's burned about five acres. we just spoke to con fire and they said it's a little windy out there. let's take a closer look where these fires are burning. so far it is just vegetation, no homes or buildings threatened and no word of any impact to b.a.r.t., but we're keeping an eye on this. let's get straight to meteorologist darren peck with more on the wind conditions in that area. >> that's a notoriously tricky part of the bay for wind. we'll spotlight why that part of the strait and out by antioch is always tricky. look at the live view, the camera on mount diablo. you can see antioch and the bridge if you've got good eyesight on your monitor on the

easternmost part of town. if you get a fire on this part of the bay, the winds can be quite erratic and particularly strong this time of day. i can show you that exact spot on the virtual map and why this is always going to be a little more problematic. if you get a fire out there, if you start to go through the carquinez strait and work out through the gap, you see that exact view, where the sacramento and san joaquin rivers come together, working our way to the delta. look at the streamlines, today realtime data showing you the wind speeds as they funnel through that narrow gap and rush inland. let's come back for a wide view. with so much forecast data, it can be difficult to get your bearings. now you can see it. that's why it gets so windy. all the wind we feel rushing in through the bay that cools us down through the summer is all trying to squeeze through that gap going west to east. thankfully, for

the most part, that fire appears to be out. anytime we get a fire there and you can think of this as grassfire season the next month or two, that will be an area we watch. we saw several out there last year this time. i'll have more on our holiday forecast in a bit. for now back to you. >> thanks so much, darren. let's get to our other top story. you talk to people in oakland about their biggest concerns, you'll probably hear a lot about crime, safety, and cleaning up the streets. today city leaders said they found a way to close a steep budget hole without compromising on those issues. >> my budget will not reduce public safety. my budget will not close firehouses or libraries or recreation centers or animal services. i will not cut cops. i will not lay off our city workers. >> today we got an outline of the budget mayor sheng thao plans to release tomorrow. that

will close a $117 million deficit this year and $175 million shortfall in the next year. the city is partly able to avoid drastic cuts because of a deal to sell its half share of the coliseum for at least $105 million to the african american sports and entertainment group which is planning a massive redevelopment of this exact site. so the revenue from this sale will give the city a little breathing room to invest in programs that seem to be paying off. one of those is called oakland fresh, a pilot program that addresses things a lot of oaklanders have complained about like illegal dumping, abandoned cars, broken street signs. while that's all welcome news, wilson walker spoke to people who work every single day to clean up those streets and they still worry about what the future will hold.

>> we're going to pick up all the little papers and pieces and needles and whatever it is. it's called microcleaning and sanitization. >> reporter: for ken houston and it's team, it's another day taking on one of oakland's most notorious problems, wrapping up a massive job on bancroft, much to the delight of the neighbors. >> you see all those bags sitting over there, that's just a little notion of what they've been doing. >> this is 236 bags that was on the street between 82nd to 73rd , three blocks, east oakland blocks. >> they let us know, man. we thank you all for cleaning our blocks. my block feels better now. you know what i mean? it really helps us to know that we're safe out here. they got our back because they see what we're doing for them in the community. >> reporter: the oakland beautification council does this work by paying its workers a competitive wage and that takes funding. >> we've been working with the

state, the city, the county, and the feds, right? >> reporter: but houston's city funding is set to expire this year and for nonprofits across the city, future funding is going to come with more uncertainty. >> we will continue that hard work and the long overdue cleanup of our city with essential and basic services. >> reporter: the mayor says the city will manage its budget deficit without layoffs or public safety cuts, but that will require a hiring freeze and, of course, the blockbuster sale of the city's half of the coliseum site. so painful cuts have been staved off for now. >> i'm happy today. six to nine months we'll run into a situation where we're in another structural budget deficit. >> reporter: district 6 council member kevin jenkins says the real challenge will be finding some budget stability before deficits start to cut into services. >> we have to get in the mindset of growth. what is oakland going to look like the

next ten to 15 years and develop industries that will pay for the services we desperately want to provide our residents. >> just to see the bags right there, you know, it's definitely like one of them things where it's like wow, you know. you see what oakland can be, even what it was, but what it can be, you know. >> what site are we going to next? >> reporter: houston managed to find private funding to offset what he might lose from the city and he says funding for efforts like this one provide more than just clean streets. >> this is crime prevention by hiring these 32 individuals out here on the street, crime prevention, because when you're paying 23.53 on up, right, and giving them respect, responsibility, dignity at the same time prevailing wages to have a good life, that's when change happens. >> reporter: so there's the challenge, finding ways to fund projects like this or others around the city as the budget gets constrained and you don't

necessarily have a coliseum land deal to help you out. that's the challenge moving ahead in oakland for at least the foreseeable future. >> thank you. a look at some other priorities in the budgets, the city will continue to invest in its ceasefire strategy which the mayor says has been crucial in reducing violent crime. a fully staffed 911 dispatch and fire stations, it also plans to fund incentives for movie and film production in the city as a way to stimulate revenue and jobs. even though this budget doesn't call for layoffs, there are still some costs. the city is freezing just under 100 unfilled positions and will freeze positions when workers retire or leave for other jobs. once the budget is released tomorrow, the city council will get to amend it. it must be approved by the end of next month. a developing story we've followed in the bayview district of san francisco, a heavy police presence at the

intersections of jennings street and donner avenue, police tell us around 3:00 p.m. they responded to a call of a man with a rifle in the area. when they arrived and made contact with the suspect, there was an officer-involved shooting, but the man was not shot. officers say they used nonlethal force to take him into custody. here's video from citizen app of the scene. the district attorney and office of police accountability are investigating. we'll let you know as we learn more about what happened. a well known san francisco dog walker and his family are trying to pick up the pieces after a devastating fire gutted their home on alamo square on tuesday, just weeks after he reported receiving racist threats in the mail. we went back out to the home today. look at this. we saw an outpouring of support from the community. >> reporter: the outside of

terry williams' childhood home is now covered with handwritten signs from neighbors stapled to the outside. >> hang in there, terry. call if you need anything, money, clothes, food, all your love. >> reporter: terry said he still can't believe a few days ago flames were shooting out the windows of his childhood home. his elderly parents were inside at the time and were rescued by firefighters. terry's mother is still in the hospital. >> i love you. you need me, let me know. >> reporter: neighbors have taken terry and his three dogs in. they've also set up a gofundme for the family. >> get me real emotional. >> reporter: for the last month and a half terry says he's been getting a lot of racial threats and harassment. teddy butler is terry's nephew. >> each time the new threat has come in, it's escalated in the rhetoric to the point they're talking about they're going to get him or hurt him or kill him. >> reporter: fire investigators are still trying to determine what caused the house fire and they are not linking the threats to the fire at this time. terry was at city hall

when the fire broke out. he says he was talking to city leaders trying to call attention to racist attacks directed at him and his family. >> stop it. we've been in this community for over 50 years. we are not leaving. all this could be repaired. we could fix this. this is nothing, but it's just the fact that you're trying to run my family out of the house. >> reporter: neighbors say terry and his family are like staples in the neighborhood. they have lived in this home more than 50 years. >> i watched terry grow up, me and my brothers, and his mother is like my auntie and his father is just hella cool. >> reporter: terry says he doesn't plan to leave. e plans to rebuild and get his parents back in their home. >> i'm blessed. i'm lucky to have neighbors and friends who really care about us. >> police are investigating the threats as a hate crime and

supervisor dean preston is urging them to prioritize an investigation into the source. in san mateo, today the city unveiled its fallen heroes memorial in the city's central park paying tribute to residents who lost their lives in the line of duty. it's made up of monoliths representing various branches of the military as well as the san mateo police and fire departments. each one of them is etched with the names of the fallen. >> the names etched on this memorial serve to reflect the profound courage and selflessness, their unwavering dedication to duty and honor exemplifying the very best of our military and first responders. >> planning for the project started in 2015. backers raised over $300,000 for its construction. grocery shoppers across the state may no longer have the option to use plastic bags. california lawmakers approved a pair of bills that would ban

grocery stores and other retailers from offering plastic bags to customers. plastic bags are banned from stores already, but the bills would close a loophole that has allowed shops to offer them. we spoke to some local shoppers who say they don't want to see the plastic bags go. >> if you are purchasing like juices, large things or bleach and things like that, sometimes paper is no good because it always rips. that's been a problem with having the paper versus the plastic. >> the bills still need further approval before heading to the governor's desk. still ahead, they will be front and center at this weekend's carnaval parade, how this

time getting to know these heirs to the throne. tell us about it. >> that's right. it's a royal affair. the tradition began in 1979 and it continues today. the official king and queen of carnaval represent the vast diversity of latin america and the hard work and passion required to present customary dances. i had a chat with the new monarchs and they say the new titles come with joy and responsibility. taking a moment to take in the moment. jason and monica are reflecting as they rehearse for a special celebration. they have been selected as the official king and queen of san francisco's annual carnaval celebration of 2024. for the newly crowned colombian king, jason jimenez, he says he's honored to represent his hometown of nava, showcasing

unique afro-colombian dances like this one. >> i dream about this, prepare, rehearse, train, and do a lot of things. we have to work a lot. i feel so excited for this. i'm so happy. >> reporter: for monica, who is the first peruvian to be crowned queen, as she picks up her specially designed dress shipped from peru, she carries her new title with gratitude. >> a big responsibility first. i hope i can make everyone proud. >> reporter: and the pride both monica and jason share is in showcasing unique indigenous dances, which is the theme of this year's carnaval. >> we want to honor our indigenous community and share with the san francisco community here that where we came from. >> reporter: in doing that monica has had to take some creative risks, including presenting a never-before-displayed dance at the festival. >> imagine the dance of peru.

this dance is very traditional. it comes in the time that we were colonized. >> reporter: that's why each of them receiving crowns this year means so much to them. it's not just exceptional rhythm and dress. it is an opportunity to learn about one another's roots. >> i didn't have that chance in colombia. so i'm taking advantage of that opportunity here to take a lot of classes from different parts of the world. >> reporter: according to the u.s. census, the bay area's diverse latin american community is consistently growing and for jason and monica, that just means a deeper opportunity for cross-cultural exchange. >> i like to learn from other cultures. i like to gain the opportunity to share me without hesitation. you have the freedom here to do that and that's what i found here in the bay area. >> reporter: the freedom to be

royalty no matter where you come from. >> wow. >> yes. king jason will be the first to be representing his hometown of nava, colombia, and monica as the first peruvian to receive the queen title. she'll be sharing gifts from the float, which is a special tradition. >> you were around royalty and they dressed up for you big time. what can we expect from the king and queen this weekend? >> this sunday after the big parade there will be special performances on the big stage, each of them solo doing their thing. >> feel like i know them now, king and queen. thank you. you can watch our live special coverage of sunday's carnaval parade starting at 10:00 a.m. on pix+, 44 cable 12 and streaming on the free cbs news app. still ahead, as we get closer to the holiday weekend, the weather is cooling down.

the headline forecast today has been tied into what was one of our lead stories, the vegetation fire that had been burning in antioch and we were talking about the wind's influence. the same wind pattern will have a big impact on daytime highs, specifically tomorrow. we'll first set the stage. we're off the coast looking at the classic pattern for wind in may and especially june. the wind streams on here show you not only the direction

the wind is moving at, but they're color coded for intensity. things get downright red out here once you start to go north off the sonoma county coast and marin county coastline, you skirt through point reyes, 40 to 50-mile-an-hour gusts, one of the windiest parts of the whole california coastline. what often happens in june is the wind's intensity holds together pretty well and makes a hard left turn and squeezes in through the golden gate right here. what's happening today, see how we've shaded green here? that's showing you a much lighter intensity on winds. the basic takeaway is we don't have a terribly strong onshore flow today. it's strong enough when you squeeze it through the gaps. we were seeing 20-mile-an-hour winds go up through the carquinez strait and help blow some of that smoke, but 20 miles an hour is fairly light in relative terms. watch it as you get down to the south bay, it really weakens. by the time it got down here today, it didn't have much

influence from the onshore flow. watch what happens when we remove the winds and instead put on today's daytime highs, you really see the impact of that. you had daytime highs in the mid-80s, los gatos making it to 83 degrees. you were 6 or 7 degrees above average down here today. tri-valley was around 80 today, redwood city 78, inland contra costa county. i'll pause to give you that classic line from half moon bay daytime highs in the upper 50s today to the inland valleys in the 80s. that was today. tomorrow we'll get a little more influence from the onshore. we'll get higher clouds and things will change a bit. watch what happens when we remove today's daytime highs and instead put in tomorrow's. now you see a very different story. if you're inland, you're not going back to the 80s. you'll be as much as 15 degrees cooler tomorrow than today because there will be more influence coming through the golden gate and we'll start out with higher clouds. it's not going to be marine

layer, just high clouds streaming over. they give us a little bit slower start on the warm-up tomorrow to the daytime highs. meanwhile if you're at the coast or in the city, you aren't changing much. tomorrow should feel pretty identical to where you were today. let's look at the forecast. we were talking about going into the weekend, there's a cooldown. when we look at the forecast for memorial day, from saturday, sunday and monday, the temperatures will come down, especially saturday. there is a cooldown as the onshore influence picks up. it's not just tomorrow. tomorrow is the day you notice the biggest drop, but we'll stay relatively cool saturday into sunday. when we put that into the seven-day forecast and use all of our microclimates or the two main ones which would be our inland and the interior of the bay, here's the inland numbers. so you're going down to the upper 60s on saturday. you'll start out cloudy saturday morning. it's the only day like that. the rest of the week after that, including

sunday and monday, should be sunny, not as warm as today, but you won't be as cool as saturday. saturday is the coolest day in this forecast. you'll notice that drop starting really more so tomorrow. juliette, back to you. >> thanks. still ahead,

chicks on pix, the uc berkeley's newest falcons officially have names. you might notice a pattern, meet aurora, eclipse, equinox and solstice. nearly 4,000 votes were cast. the four chicks hatched on earth day. that's it for us. thanks for watching! no >> norah: tonight, wild weather ahead of memorial day. >> everything i heard was that this was going to be an insane weekend to travel. >> norah: we are tracking severe storms after the wind from the same weather system... [screaming] leads to a deadly stage collapse in mexico. and tornadoes in texas. >> i call my daughter, and i tell her, "i'm gonna die.">>
