now at 11:00, some of the biggest names in music past and present are in town for one of the most popular festivals in the bay area. we give you an inside look at the vip experience at bottle rock. and seniors at one oakland high school are in cap and gown, but they're not graduating for a couple of weeks. >> it's basically all of my sacrifices and my family's sacrifices combined in one day. >> the big milestone they're celebrating early. and a nobel peace prize winning civil rights leaderrer comes to the bay. we introduce

you to the grand marshal of the carnaval parade. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. hi, i'm sara donchey. day one of the memorial day weekend travel rush is in the books, and things did not go entirely smoothly. like, this accident and massive back up on the bay bridge. it started with this truck on fire on the bridge this morning. it caught fire heading west just before the treasure island tunnel, and it took hours to clear and get traffic moving again. the scope of the back up in the east bay was obvious. our helicopter flew over 80 cars stretching back for miles before all lanes were finally back open around 5:30 this evening. that caused a lot of days. and with today being the busiest travel day of the weekend, there were long lines at at least one bay area airport. this is what passengers were greeted with today at oakland. that line

stretched all the way out to baggage claim. if you've flown out of oakland, you know that's not a good sign. but it was better with sfo. they were dealing with an estimated 600,000 travelers passing through between today and monday. that's up 8% from last year, but things were moving fairly well. whether you're heading out of town or staying in the bay for the holiday weekend, the weather could impact your plans. we expect a cool down again tomorrow. darren peck is here with the details on the holiday weekend forecast. >> in a lot of ways today's change was the most impactful of the weekend. to understand what's coming for saturday and the lingering effects of today's change, we have to look at how today played out. we'll start by watching the winds that started to pick up along the coast today, and you can see the streamlines showing you that the winds were really starting to rush down from the north and then into the bay. this was different. see what happened today. see the bands here, we had 30 miles per hour gusts through the golden gate

today. it was driving in a very impressive marine layer over the east bay hills. and we did something pretty interesting. if you look at the daytime highs for today, we came very close to breaking a record. we were two degrees what the record is for the coolest daytime high for today's date. so if it felt dramatically cooler in the city, you were right, it was. but look north. north bay still in the 70s today, plenty of sunshine. and if you look at everybody else, we all felt the cool down a lot more dramatically than the north bay did. i'll give you a quick review on the numbers out there for today because they're similar to where you'll be tomorrow. but there's a lot more to the weekend. cause after tomorrow we'll start turning a corner, and i'll show you what it looks like for sunday and monday coming up. for now, back to you. about 40,000 people went to the first day of the bottle rock music festival tonight. a very popular event. seemed like they were all trying to get

there at the exact same time. these were jam packed freeways. it's a star studded event. andrea nakano takes us behind the scene for a look at this year's event. >> reporter: so many look forward to bottle rock. it's not just about the performers, but so much more, especially if you upgrade to the vip section. it was packed on the lawn and in the stands as nelly took the stage at bottle rock. this is a perform jack and cheyenne harmon wanted to see. they bring their family every year, and this was their six month old's first event. there's a shorter line at all the vip

booths. >> i'm truly happy with how the environment is over here. if not i probably wouldn't have brought her. but it's so inviting over here that it's really nice. >> reporter: part of their extended family includes alex pierce who got a taste of what bottle rock has to offer. >> fried chicken sandwich, shrimp, fries, strawberry lemonade. >> reporter: he's seen how much the event has grown since bottle rock first started in napa. >> my family started going, and then we just kept coming back. we were just impressed. so the first year i went was 2013. >> reporter: now cousins from across the country join in on the fun, including ian martin from utah. >> mooching off his family, i'll be honest. it's hard to afford a festival ticket on my payroll. >> reporter: the music festival has a lot to offer, even if you only have general admission tickets. the spa had an iv

lounge, and kids and adults blinged out at the sustainable sparkle bar. >> i have gemstone eye liner. we have all different gemstones, colors, sizes. >> reporter: bottle rock brings in roughly 40,000 people a day and is a boost to local businesses. many say this is uniquely napa and enjoy the event year after year. single game record the food, the wine, you can't go wrong. you can't go wrong. >> reporter: bottle rock continues through the weekend with pearl jam saturday and ed sheeran sunday. >> for a full list of this year's performances and everything to know about bottle rock, just head to our website, kpix.com, or the cbs news app. that was some video from the shooting at oakland's skyline high school that we brought you as breaking news last night, and now we know three people were hurt. they're

all expected to survive. witnesses say they heard gunshots after a fight on campus during a graduation ceremony and started running for cover. that turned what was supposed to be a happy milestone for seniors into something very scary as they got their diplomas. >> i was on the verge of crying. people were crying for me. they were so excited for me. >> it went from crying happy tears to crying scared and afraid tears. >> so far police say they've arrested one adult, but they haven't said how that person is connected to the school. investigators say they're looking for other possible shooters, and they are asking witnesses to turn over any camera footage they may have. all right, take a look at this. a mangled suv after a driver lit his cigarette too close to some gas canisters while he was in his car. this happened last night in los angeles. you can see shards of the car, glass, plastic, metal in every direction. the the vehicle was in pieces. thankfully, and miraculously, the driver suffered only minor

injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital. back here in san francisco, police are looking into a crash in the tenderloin that sent a silver vw beetle into the side of a building at the corner of turk and larkin earlier today. paramedics took two people to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. just down the road, video game company nintendo is planning to open a store in union square. it will be only their second location for nintendo in the united states. and after years of hearing about stores leaving union square, this announcement has tourists and locals excited about the prospect. >> they're a very well known. for example, i think about the pokemon centers and things like that. they have a big fan base, and nintendo has a big fan base, so i think it will draw people out to visit. >> we still don't know exactly where the store will be opened

in union square, but it's scheduled to open in 2025. an exciting day for students at an oakland high school. they were celebrating big achievements ahead of the graduation ceremony planned two weeks from now. here's a look at this the special ceremony. >> reporter: few things can match the anticipation of a commencement ceremony, but here in oakland, graduation might actually be the second most exciting day of the year. >> for a first generation student, this means a lot to me. it's basically all of my sacrifices and my family's sacrifices kind of combined in one day. >> reporter: ever since she was a little girl, marisol dreamed of going to college. today she'll get to announce where she'll be headed during her school's so-called college reveal day. >> i'm excited to just be able to brag a little bit about

where i'm going. >> committed to ucsd. >> i'll be attending cal state east bay. >> san francisco state university. >> reporter: also known as declaration day. >> i'm mario, i'm going to the university of san francisco and majoring in computer science. >> reporter: these ceremonies are becoming increasingly popular in recent years. >> sf state. >> reporter: but what makes this one different from any other is the fact that for the third year in a row, every single senior here has been accepted to a four-year university. and if that's not impressive enough, all of them come from low income families where few of their parents had any opportunity for higher education. >> the tradition that they've done for the past three years. >> reporter: paola is the guidance counselor. she says the reason is school is so successful is because every student has a team of academic

advisors that work with them one of one and are available to them six years after graduation. >> every student deserves an opportunity and they're all college bound. >> reporter: the school has a unique approach that gives students both classroom and real world experience through a work program that also offsets tuition. >> we have wonderful corporate partners that mentor them in a job location doing work over the course of four years. >> reporter: as for marisol, she's not just going to any college, she's headed to. >> hi everyone, i'll be majoring in english and i've committed to uc berkeley. >> reporter: being accepted to a top tier university. clearly a class act with a high degree of difficulty. a voice for change leading this year's carnaval san francisco. coming up after the break, we introduce you to the nobel peace prize winner serving as the parade's grand marshal. how she risked he ever

life -- her life to speak up for indigenous rights. >> it's a dangerous thing. the fact she still kept going despite all the tragedy i think is a really important piece as a woman to be able to speak up. and lake tahoe is full for the first time in five years. why that could actually be bad news for people hoping to hit the beaches there any time soon.

all right, we've been talking a lot tonight about all the events happening this weekend, and san francisco's carnaval kicks off tomorrow. as we get ready to celebrate, we want to highlight some of the amazing people involved like this year's parade grand marshal, a nobel peace prize winning activist for indigenous rights in guatemala. as len ramirez shows us, her trip to the bay for carnaval is sparking a surge of pride among the local indigenous community. >> reporter: ancient dance traditions passed down from the maya and aztec are kept alive by people like the bay area's lilia. she's a guatemala-ameri can whose family was forced to flee genocide in 1975. and today she credits the face of

guatemala's human rights movement and who will be honored as this year's carnaval grand marshal for saving ancient traditions and restoring pride in indigenous cultures. >> she has allowed her people to acknowledge the importance of our rituals, our culture, our ceremonies that have been passed down for thousands and thousands of years and had the potential to be lost during the war. >> reporter: she won the nobel prize in 1992 after dedicating and risking her life to publicize the plight of indigenous people in the guatemala civil war are thousands were killed or vanished. she lost her own father, mother, and brothers to the violence. >> i think she said the quiet things out loud. she spoke up about the violence against indigenous people, the violence against indigenous women in a country with political unrest. that's a very dangerous thing.

the fact she still kept going despite the tragedy i think was really an important piece as a woman to be able to speak up. >> we lived in the? an era of genocide, the tortures. >> reporter: she's still speaking up, although she was forced to leave her home country and come to the u.s. for a time. she was able to return to guatemala and use as her platform to continue to fight for the rights of her people. lilia says it's resulted in good in the bay area. there are now places like the indigenous healing center in marin dedicated to the needs of indigenous families. >> everybody matters and everybody deserves to be safe. i think her work is a testament of, um, how someone can speak out loud and really make movement and change. >> reporter: a person to be celebrated at carnaval, a mmunity of the bay area. s >> here's what the parade

route will look like if you're curious. it starts at bryant and 24th street, then heads to mission street and move to 15th street and ultimately end on harrison. meanwhile, harrison street from 16th to 24th will be closed until monday morning as well as treat from 16th to 22nd. our special coverage of carnaval starts sunday at 10:00 a.m. memorial day weekend will also be the last chance to hit the slopes at tahoe before resorts pack it up for the season. palisades tahoe is the last ski resort still operating. they're offering a last chance weekend before shutting down until next winter. and when hotels reopen for the summer, lake tahoe is expected to be at full capacity for the first time since 2019 thanks to the built up snow pack from the past two winter storms. but more water might bring some challenges. right now the water is about half a foot below full, but it could

be full within the month. a full lake would mean a healthy environment, less fire danger, and better boating for the area, but it also means less beach. >> it definitely compresses everybody and leads to challenges, but the trade off is the great water. >> officials say there's still plenty of beach access all the way around the lake. and obviously tahoe a popular test nation on a holiday weekend, but a lot of people are sticking around too, and it's been kind of not quite hissable outside, but sort of wet, unpleasant, cold, windy earlier. kind of not nice. oh, you just described may gray, actually. the marine layer really did come back in today with a vengeance, but today was interesting the way it did it because it was not equal for everybody. going to bring the clouds down because when we look at it on the ground you'll actually see an

important pattern. the marine layer hung out in one spot all day today and never let up. you were gray from the city to the peninsula, and interestingly enough, the east bay shore. look at the daytime highs. fremont didn't get out of the 50s. that's as warm as you got today thanks to persistent cloud cover and the on shore breeze returned. it was cool today thanks to the winds. san francisco, we mentioned this a minute ago, but it was two degrees high of breaking a record in the city. if you were two degrees cooler for the daytime high, you would have tied the record for the coolest daytime high for today's date thanks to the winds coming through and the cloud. meantime look at santa rosa. you were in the 70s. you had a nice day. not much in the way of the marine layer. this is how it will go tomorrow. no significant changes in tomorrow's forecast. the temperatures pretty much the same for just about everybody, including the north bay. i think you'll have an okay day temperature-wise. and if you're in the immediate bay, you'll

feel the same on shore breeze, and it's going to be just as cool tomorrow as today. but it's going to be cloudier. look at where we start tomorrow. the marine layer will be a lot more widespread. so instead of just picking on that one location right through the middle of the bay, we wake up tomorrow, and it's a lot more widespread. everybody's got it. i think the north bay gets a little break. there's santa rosa in the clear for the most part. but there's so much to the marine layer it's actually going to mist out a little bit, and you'll get light rain out of this along the coast. nice break and clearing and then back to the daytime highs. pretty much identical to today. there's a little bit of measurable rain along the coast tomorrow morning. but remember that's morning. by the afternoon you'll have plenty of sunshine. interesting pattern, by the way, that's responsible for this. how did we go back into may gray overdrive so quickly? that. look at this trough driving down out of the gulf of alaska and coming right overhead. you can see it in the clouds.

there's the leading edge. as that passes, it clears and then allows the marine layer to pull in behind it. almost like a vacuum, like it's filling in the gap. that's why the marine layer is on overdrive tomorrow. but it's really just tomorrow we'll do that. if that's saturday morning, let me show you the rest of the holiday weekend. sunday morning comes around, and there's a little marine layer in the morning, but not nearly as overwhelming as saturday. and by sunday afternoon it's gone. more sunshine than anything else sunday afternoon. same story monday. monday morning we start out with classic marine layer gray in the morning. then it melts back and plenty of sunshine for the afternoon. so when you look at the forecast for the holiday weekend, there are some big differences, especially if you're inland. saturday is fairly gray and cool in the morning anyway, but sunday and monday are noticeable warmer. once we get through with the two-day period where we're under the

influence of this resurgence in terms of may gray coming back with a vengeance for two days. but you look at the rest of the seven-day. look at next week. inland going right back into the low and mid-80s for daytime highs. and when we look at the forecast for the bay, it's the same story, warming into the 70s. no more of this 57-degree daytime high for fremont like we had today. back to you. up next, there's something new in golden gate park. where you can pick up an adult beverage on your next walk, which is something matt might want to try. >> how dare you. ahead in sports, the giants are starting to hit their stride and provided another thriller friday night. plus a dagger in the nba with the western conference on the line. one team stole another dub.

and it's kind of been a roller coaster of a ride when asking you if they win or lose. >> certainly a roller coaster, and right now i'm calling them the cardiac kids because the giants have had a flare for the dramatics in recent days. they've been mounting major comebacks, and the bats have been the biggest part of that. they've scored at least six runs in six of the last seven games. harrison had a rough fiveth inning. the solo shot given up here to martinez, and then a homer to vietos and new york had a 5-2 lead. now it's 6-3 in the eighth, but patrick bailey gives san francisco the lead with one swing of the bat. grand slam. third straight game the giants have rallied from down four runs or more. but could they hang on? bottom nine, the mets have the bases

loaded against doval. the unbelievable play, and the giants win 8-7 becoming the first team since 1999 to come back from down 4 or more in three consecutive games. great stuff. we have some youngsters checking out the a's and astros. jake myers down the line, the astros scored six runs in the fourth, all of them, they win 6-3. in the nba, mavericks, luka playing through the pain. here it comes. playing through the pain here as you can see. we pick it up with six minutes left. dallas and minnesota tied at 94. doncic makes the shot while falling down to give the mavericks the lead. he drills the step back three putting

gobert on skates. last chance here for reed. he made seven threes, needed eight, shot at the buzzer no good. mavericks steal another on the road 109-108 and they're up two in the series. stanford ace in the circle against lsu. game one of the super regionals. tigers leading 3-1 in the fifth. newland goes deep for the a three-run homer that chases kennedy. the cardinal lead the best of three series 1-0. tigers now one win away from the women's college world series. stanford baseball hoping to continue their unlikely run in the pac-12 tournament. scoreless against arizona. bottom third. wild cats off the right field pole. arizona eliminates the cardinal 6-3. wild cats play usc. they beat cal in the other semi. back to the giants for a

moment. the incredible play from matt chapman. after the game bob melvin said he's seen ever play chapman has ever played, and that was the top. and lamont wade jr. also what a scoop, he deserves credit too. they're six and a half games back of the dodgers. it's early in the season, it's still may, but at least there's some life from the giants. >> yeah, that's nice. all right, let's hope it continues. matt, thank you. you don't have to carry your beer in from outside if you want to drink in golden gate park. a beer and wine garden is starting in may from noon to 6:00. the whale's tale is open every weekend for the summer at the 14th avenue east meadow. it's been a thing a new name this year, it's got a bigger menu with cocktails. they'll also have food trucks, live music, street art, and games. up next, we'll explain why

how do you know the summer beach season has officially arrived aside from matt out there with no sunscreen totally red as a tomato? >> i just want to see, i want to push the boundaries of when a dermatologist will make me stay inside. >> that was actually opening day at oracle park. >> someone will call in and say it's time. >> my skin is none of your business. carry on. >> you're right. in new jersey, though, they have a specific way of marking the summer occasion. hundreds of people dressed in suits and other business attire marched straight into the atlantic ocean. the business persons plunge is a way to signal it's time for people to ditch the stuffy office attire and have fun. >> all i'm thinking about is

the dry cleaner down the street that's racking up sales. >> your portfolio is intact. yeah, i don't know. maybe. but maybe not. >> you won't see me doing that. not in these suits. >> no, i mean. >> i kind of like the creativity of this. >> i do too, but i'll go to goodwill and buy a suit. >> i >> adult film star stormy daniels took the witness stand today at former president trump's criminal trial in new york. trump's team sought to exclude any discussion of the alleged sexual encounter which led to the so-called hush money payment. >> to celebrate stormy daniels testifying in the trump trial, porn hub has launched court hub, a series of adult legal films sure
