5:03 am
cloudy conditions at times on our sunday forecast. but still, it's going to be a nice mild one and so to answer g's question if you are planningen heading to carnaval, both days, i would highly suggest bringing the jacket but notice how sunday is just a smidge warmer compared to saturday. but before we get to saturday and sunday, and we'll talk more about bottle rock coming up in just a minute. we're expecting 50s today in san francisco. gosh, it was earlier this week we were talking about 70s and sunshine. so this is already contrasting a lot. off into the east bay we go, yesterday we were in the 80s. today? 60s in the forecast for us near antioch and concord. that's a big jump right around the corner we're going to continue to see very similar weather into our saturday forecast. sunday, starting to see a little bit of warm-up and i'll have more on that in a bit too. for now over to you, g. >> all right. thank you. let's talk about the the roadways because it's a get away friday for memorial day and some pretty busy conditions especially starting later on today. so if you are hitting the roadways best time to be out there is well before 11:00 and after at least 7:00 or 8:00 this evening. that crunch time is really going to be between

5:05 am
woman. both taken to the hospital and we're told they are in stable condition but the fire department is aware of a third victim that was able to get to the hospital on their own. we don't know yet what any of the victims' connection might be to the school. opd arrived and locked down the campus quickly with the help of chp. police say that there was a fight at the school that escalated to the shooting. we have the chance to hear from a student as well as a family member attending the event who were there when they heard the gunshots. >> just walking around you know taking pictures and out of nowhere all you hear was -- pop, pop, pop. >> graduation is skyline you know, it should be a good day and stuff like that you know? and then -- next thing you know, we hear gunshots and i mean it was -- i thought it was fireworks at first but it was gunshots and i see people start running and stuff you know. and then -- at first i didn't think too much of it but i ran with the people. >> reporter: so we know that police were here for hours likely still early into their investigation but at this time they tell us they have detained two suspects in connection to

5:16 am
dance is very treasure. it came with the roots 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 compensational 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 do learn from other cultures and i like to give the opportunity to share my -- without hesitation and i might not do that you know. you have the rhythm here today that and that's what i found here in the bay area. >> reporter: the freedom to be royalty no matter where you come from. >> how beautiful. and you can join me this sunday for our

5:18 am
rock and carnaval. beautiful. >> so many things happening for us this weekend and razz we take a look outside, this is actually going to be one of the coolest days we're going to experience all week longful today and tomorrow daytime highs really are only topping off in the 60s. anywhere from san jose up into redwood city and keep in mind, it was just yesterday where we saw such a temperature spread in all of the microclimates. 80s in the east bay and 70s in the santa clara valley and 50s along the coast and the only place that's the same today is the coast. 56 today in half-moon bay. 59 in san francisco. we're all holding on tight to 50s and 60s. we had this trough of low pressure drop down. cold dense fair the north but it's dry air in the sense no crazy storms associated with this. however earlier this year we would have and now we're seeing dry conditions into the memorial day weekend. and hey, who's complaining about that? right. so many fun events happening for us this weekend. so many important events too from memorial day alone. and as we take a look at the forecast, it's relatively mild and yes, a little bit cool today and tomorrow but when we start to warm up on sunday and monday
5:19 am
with sunnier skies around the corner. here's what i want to talk about this morning. the winds. especially along the coast. close to -- gosh santa rosa and napa. give me one second and i'm not talking to you at least right now. right now we're seeing gusts anywhere up to around 30 miles per hour along the coastline. but what's going to get gustier in the afternoon hours today. close to around 40-mile-per-hour winds just by dinner time are expected near san francisco. all the way up into bodega bay we actually pass 40-mile-per-hour winds. and then we also see the breezy conditions really highlight the inland areas too. that's how we're kick off the weekend's forecast. so just keep that in mind. if you have any outdoor activities this afternoon. by tomorrow, we'll still see sombresy conditions. saturday into sunday we warm trump the 50s into the 60s for carnaval and bottle rock this weekend, 60s and 70s are in the forecast for us. but look at sunday. upper 70s just around the corner so there's some really awesome things happening for us this weekend. yes, a little bit of a cool start to the weekend. but then by sunday and monday, 70s in our inland areas and turning into 80s by next wednesday with plenty of sunshine. we'll have more on that in a bit. g, how are the
5:20 am
roads looking? right now it's kind of the calm before the storm. jessica, because a lot of people are getting ready to hop on freeways a little later today. you are looking live here at the bay bridge. got a big rig there off to the side. looks like it's stuck on the right channel side of the roadway though not causing any brake lights or delays. it's friday and it's get away friday so hopefully we'll see lighter conditions this morning. it's later on starting just after 11:00 extending to about 7:00 to 8:00. you are going to see a lot more cars out there. but if you kind of can spread it out or maybe leave earlier or later you will certainly save yourself some extra time. the busy routes will be eastbound 80 and maybe heading through sacramento and over towards tahoe. you will have that 580 commute into the altamont pass towards tracy. kind of opposite of what people do in the morning. the countercommute for us. if you are headed over to i-5 and of course 101 down to gilroy to 152 and then 101 if you are headed north of here maybe across the golden gate bridge. so plan for a very busy ride this afternoon. look at them go. zach?

right off the top at 5:30 this morning on cbs news bay area, gunfire and graduation. looking live right now. two words that should never go together. but after bullets flew in oakland last night, sadly they do. we are still learning more about what happened. right now, we can tell you that two people were injured around 7:45 last night and you see all the flashing lights there. two detained and shooting happened indoors and as people gathered to celebrate sending a lot of people running. we're working to find out more on a motive and the identities of those hurt and the identities of those detained. this is a developing story and we'll continue to ask the questions. stay with us for all the updates and kpix.com and streaming on the cbs news app. g? all right, expect some bigger crowds at airports with
5:31 am
travel kicking into high gear for the memorial day weekend. you can see behind me all of the flights and this is flight aware the map that shows all the planes in the air at this very moment. there are a lot of travelers today and throughout the weekend. aaa estimating more than 3.5 million people will be flying for the holiday weekend. and we're not just helping you get prepared in the sky but alsoon the roadways. because there's going to a lot of people driving as well. so cbs news senior transportation correspondent kris van cleave literally on the roads right now. it's like where in the world is kris? where in the world are you? good morning. >> reporter: gianna, always good to be with you in the bay area. we are on interstate 64 approaching richmond, virginia and we left virginia beach but we talked to you yesterday. we left this morning and we're on our way to washington, d.c. and should be about a three and a half hour drive on a normal day. we're hoping that the aaa advice plays out where they said get on the road before noon. because that's when they expect the traffic to really start to ramp up between noon and 7:00. and when we're
5:32 am
talking about extra traffic volume, one of the examples they gave was the drive san francisco to napa. around 11:00 a.m. today. they expect it to take 56% longer than it normally would. that would be pushing 90 minutes to two hours depending on where in san francisco you left from. of course and at your airport, sfo is expecting today to be its busiest day. about 147,000 people moving through that airport and the tsa just told us yesterday at airport checkpoints alone, they screened nearly 2.9 million people. that's just shy of an all-time record set last year on the busiest day of the thanksgiving travel holiday. we're talking about thanksgiving level travel volumes for memorial day. that's really unprecedented. even pre-pandemic times. so whole lot of people on the move. whether you are driving or flying today. >> yeah, including you and you are right it's interesting to see how memorial day has this huge increase in traffic like typically you see during the
5:33 am
holidays. we have bottle rock happening today starting over there. a lot of people will be going there. talk about the airports being very crowded and you had an opportunity to go inside the faa control center. what did you see? >> reporter: yeah, so this is the faa command center and it's about an hour outside of washington, d.c. and it's where they really bring together everyone that's involved in the nation's aviation system. so it can be a rapid response center. right now for example they're watching very closely this line of thunderstorms moving iowa, minnesota, illinois, michigan, right through a couple of airline hubs. so what we're watching, what that's going to do to flights later today and they will be the folks that will determine if some of those speedways in the skies become blocked by thunderstorms and where to route all the planes if they need to hold traffic going in and out of chicago o'hare the kinds of major decisions get made in part of that command center. we'll take you inside and show you what it looks like and what they're saying about the holiday weekend coming up on "cbs mornings." the airlines and the
5:34 am
faa think they've got the staffing right and the question is what is the weather doing? >> and the weather certainly plays a big part in people's travels. before you go, you travel all the time for work. any advice like what's the one thing you would share with people whether it's flying or hitting the roadways? >> reporter: driving a busy days like today. particularly if you don't travel a lot. give yourself a little bit of extra time and i don't like running through the airport and i don't like reenacting the "home alone" scene and it raises the potential that you end up with the window seat terminal not on the airplane. give yourself the extra time particularly on the airport. and on the road the same especially if you're traveling with kids, which i will be, too. so i'm doing my best impersonation of home alone. we don't want any of that, chris. thank you so much for sure to know. don't leave anyone behind. that's very but that little bit of
5:35 am
comfortzone that little bit of extra time -- >> on cbs mornings. see you a bit. so let's take a look at other things happening out and about. here's a live look at the oakland airport and yeah it's going to be quite busy out there as people hit the roadways. and not just on the roads heading out of town but also as you hit the skies too. so just give yourself some extra time as he said and definitely don't want to get stuck with not having everyone you need to have nearby and ready go. okay, really quick. extra busy conditions in our areas bay area bridges and 101 and 580 and 680 and i-5. friday and monday the busiest travel days. let's take a live look outside right now on this beautiful friday morning. the top of salesforce tower. and look at that bay bridge and traffic moving kind of looks foggy outside and let's talk to jess about your weekend forecast. bottle rock. carnaval. it's a great and quintessential weekend in the bay. >> it really is. and all of the memorial day events too that are happening this weekend.
5:36 am
there's plenty to go out and do and we need good weather for that. luckily we have that too. it's just a little bit cool and cloudy as we kick off this weekend. all throughout the bay area. doesn't matter whether you live along the coast or off in the east bay. we're noticing some of the clouds holding on tight to us this morning. bringing back that may gray feeling and we're sitting in the 40s and 50s right now throughout the bay area. here's that live look from mount diablo northbound the clouds creeping over the east bay not nearly as thick as the friends along the coast but hey we talked ant headlines earlier. a couple of things to really highlight this time. warmer weather as soon as sunday and monday memorial day. so this is a short-lived event and of course as we experienced this cold dense air that's moving in from the north. it's bringing in some chilly temperatures. daytime highs 50s and 60s widespread throughout the bay area. it was just yesterday we were talking about #s along the coast and 80s off in the inland areas, this pressure system that's moving in from the north. it's really impacting all of us in a very similar way. now the difference
5:37 am
