thank you for joining us this morning. it is friday, may 31st. >> yay. it's friday everyone. let's get started. >> i'm a very innocent man and we'll keep fighting until the end. >> the only voice that matters is the voice of the jury. and the jury has spoken. >> a former president is a convicted felon for the first time in u.s. history. a guilty verdict for donald trump in his hush money trial. what happens next and how it's all playing out on the political stage. i'm exstatic to be honest with you. it's a long time coming. >> i will vote for trump more so than i ever thought i would. >> and we're hearing from you this morning about the verdict. with reaction across the political spectrum. we have to do something to keep -- the beach restaurant

alive. >> a bay area bounce-back in one of san francisco's most iconic neighborhoods. the resilience of north beach during the celebratory weekend. a lot of things i have were given to my by friends who know that i love these things. >> giants' fan unlike any other. we take a look inside his home museum tracking the team's roots from east to west as we welcome the yankees to town. it's friday. and yeah let's get excited and i'm gianna franco and thank you for joining us. hey, some giants' baseball in town this weekend. maybe something good to do. >> yankees back in town after a long time. that will be exciting and i'm shawn chitnis in for reed cowan. he is off today and happy friday tgif. >> yes. so nice to have you in studio too. >> goodto be here. >> warm and toasty. >> a live look outside on this friday morning and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we see a lot more of this right here. what a gorgeous view of the bay bridge this morning. as you can get up and out the door and jess, the weekend is here. we're all looking forward to it.

the weekend is finally here: we made it and it is going to be a nice mild one for us. better yet dive real fast into what the next seven days are going to look like for us. we're dealing with some gusty conditions tomorrow. some cloudy conditions too and anywhere from oakland all the way over into san francisco. we'll continue to watch that trend into this weekend and then a big warm-up right around the corner as we head into next week. but let's dive straight into our virtual reality map on a beautiful friday morning like this. the sun is slowly starting to rise and as that happens we're going to expect a beautiful day ahead of us with 60s in the forecast near san francisco. 70s across the bay bridge over into oakland. and it's another day of 90s for us off in the east bay. 92 degrees today in antioch. 70s down into redwood city and we continue to watch stretching down from 101 down into the santa clara valley, we'll continue to see warm dry weather for thus afternoon. it's a little glitchy right now in the next couple of minutes. but here's what it looks like throughout the bay area this morning. mild and cool. but a big warm-up right around the corner for us and that's the case as we head

into this afternoon. daytime highs are still above average off in the inland areas and that's not the case -- oops as we head into this weekend. more on that in a bit. for now over to you, g. a look at the roadways right now getting ready to head over to the bay bridge. now is a great tame to be on the freeways. quiet conditions on most of the roadways and in fact actually started off a busy spot on the lower speck. lanes are open and it's all clear now. no delays there. and a live look at oakland if you have the early flight to catch this morning and taking 880 the nimitz over to the oakland airport right now. everything is clear and checking traffic here as you work your way in and out of berkeley this morning. so far, so good for those east bay commutes. this was a disgrace. this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who is corrupt. >> former president donald trump not mincing words moments after his historic conviction in new york. trump denounced the verdict finding him guilty in connection with a hush money

payment. the former president was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide reimbursements to his former fixer. michael cohen. cohen paid adult film star stormy daniels $130,000 in the run up to the 2016 election to keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter with trump. >> only voice that matters is the voice of the jury. and the jury has spoken. >> up next for the former president, in this case, the judge has set trump's sentencing for july 11th. four days before the republican national convention. he faces up to four years in prison but could be given probation with no prison time. we spoke with rory little from the uc college of law who thinks it will end in probation and fines. >> i think the importance of the trial is that it happened at all. and the judge did a very good job of keeping this

case on a calm, sort of nondramatic level. he tried it pretty slowly and carefully. the jurors paid attention according to all reports. and they -- it didn't take them very long to reach a unanimous verdict here. >> and this was the only case now pending against former president trump that's likely to end in a verdict before election day. and it's believed that he cannot legally pardon himself if elected president in november. so gianna, no surprise that we saw quick reaction from all political spectrums and of course around the country after that verdict on thursday. >> i mean lot of people are talking about this historic moment there. and of course we want to know what you are thinking as you weigh in on this and your thoughts after the jury came down with a decision. so we hit streets of san francisco to hear from you. >> i'm e static to be honest with you. it's long time coming. serves him right and i would also go as far as to say that i would like to see everyone who voted for him convicted for aiding and abetting. >> i will vote for trump more

so than i ever thought i would. but the democrats, what biden is doing to our country, is shameful. >> well, we also heard from the chairman of the contra costa republican party. he said this might activate more moderate republicans who believe the whole trial was a misuse of the judicial system. >> i would not like to see this type of prosecution taking on against a next democrat president either. it's just -- it's -- it's a sad day for our legal system. >> well, trump's conviction may actually be helping him raise money and now he's hitting the campaign trail and heading to san francisco. coming here next week for a fundraiser. andrea nakano talked with a political expert with what we can expect now from the former president. >> this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge. >> reporter: a guilty verdict? may have been a big win for

donald trump's pocketbook. donations started flooding into mr. trump's win red website causing it to crash. the republican candidate for president also giving his constituents a chance to win an autographed maga hat in return for a donation. >> they believe that this is red meat. and dark liquor thrown to their constituency, i mean right up their alley because they know they can raise money from this and they can develop some momentum. >> reporter: david mccuan says that moment up will carry over to the fundraising event in california. >> california is the atm of the nation. when it comes to politics. >> reporter: while california leans left, he says that's not what matters. >> it's not just the blue state. it's a red state. it's a green money state. it's a dollar state. look, elon musk maybe be here and all over the world, and maybe intergalactic but he and his friend give a lot of money. >> reporter: while cash is king in a presidential campaign, donald trump needs to win over a key segment of voters,

especially in swing states such as pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. it's the undecided that he's targeting across the country. >> purple people we call them. the purple people are a little bit blue and a little bit red and not sure what to do and we know there's a segment of the electorate that is -- won't vote for a felon. >> reporter: so while the money may be flowing in for now, it may be too early to tell how his conviction and possible sentence will affect fundraising in the long-term. >> so i think this gives you an idea of the strategy of donald trump and his team. they're going to use today's verdict to open things up and go on the offense. not just talk to the faithful. they're going to open up the map and be everywhere all at once and they're going to have the resources to do that. >> former president trump is expected to hold a press conference this morning at trump tower. you can catch this right here on cbs news bay area and of course for all the coverage on this historic verdict, also head to our website. kpix.com. time now for a look at this

to be out and about in the bay area, how will the weather be? hello again to jessica burch, hey jess. >> good morning to both of you. stunning, beautiful, warm as we head into this afternoon. that's kind of the forecast for us today but then a little bit of a cooldown as we head into this weekend. so let's dive straight into that. what are we expecting this afternoon? well, another day of daytime highs sitting just a little bit above average. once we head into this weekend, low pressure moves in from the north and that cools us off for just a bit so much so that we actually get a little bit of coastal drizzle and then once we head into next week, we're right back to a bigger warm-up right right and we'll dive into that in just a bit. this is what we have this morning. 40s up near the coast and petaluma and 50s and 60s in the east bay right now and heading into the next couple of days i think it's worth noting that the climate prediction center is showing above normal temperatures. not only here in the bay area, but widespread throughout the state of california as we head into the next six to ten days. with that in mind that leads into next week when we expect another big warm-up right around the

corner. daytime highs this afternoon in the 60s near san francisco. and upper 50s along the coast. not the case in our inland areas though. goodness gracious upper 80s and lower 90s anywhere from antioch down into livermore and 80 degrees today near fremont and let's stretch all the way down into the santa clara valley. san jose this afternoon, even warmer than yesterday. sitting at 86 degrees. and heading into the next seven days, well, we are in store for a lot of sunshine right around the corner for us. at least as we extend into this weekend. yeah, the partly cloudy skies are going to come in and out throughout the inland areas but a lot more apparent along the coast. but this big warm-up and i mean look at monday into tuesday of next week. wednesday into thursday. we jump from the low 80s to the upper 90s in the forecast for us. just within a two day span. that's what high pressure does for us and really warms us up especially in our inland areas. and it brings in a lot of sunshine too. along the bay closer to oakland or actually berkeley too, we're talking about low 70s into this weekend. and into early next week, and then we jump into the low 80s but those clouds going to hold on tight to us if you

lights but unfortunately sad that one person died in the crash. the investigation is under way. not the way that most people want to start their morning while they're going through the roads there. let's look outside though a few different ways to appreciate what is happening outside this morning. we look at the golden gate bridge coming through the clouds. there you see it there some fog right there. still pretty much though a pretty nice morning for us right jess. >> that's the perfect amount of marine layer where you can still see and get to work just fine at the surface level. but it kind of brings in that san francisco vibe right? this is what we're waking imto. a beautiful sunrise this morning. all throughout the bay area with clear conditions for us this morning. it doesn't matter whether you live off in the east bay or close to san francisco. alone. we have another warm day ahead of us all throughout bay area. this weekend's forecast, we have a cooldown right around the corner. and it's noticeable. especially in our inland areas. we can see some coastal drizzle and we can see some coastal clouds especially in our inland

areas too. it will be mild for us this weekend but then another little heat wave. major heat wave mid next week where upper 90s are expected in the inland areas for the first time this year. so this is what it's looking like for us right now above normal temperatures for us this afternoon. that means 80s and 90s off in the east bay. 70s and 60s along the coast and the peninsula. and here's what's happing this weekend. that low pressure system moves in and that will bring in some more clouds for us. but still dry in our inland areas. like i said that coastal drizzle just be noticeable in areas like pacifica and half-moon bay bodega bay and speaking of the bay, light winds for us this morning. actually beautiful right now and we get a little bit gustier this afternoon. but just like clockwork that always happens. at least no 40-mile-per-hour wind gusts like we had earlier this week. into the dinner time hours about 30-mile-per-hour winds up into the north and about 25 miles per hour winds into san francisco but the next seven days real fast starting off with the inland areas. upper 80s turning into lower 80s this weekend. then 90s right around the corner into early next week. we can see some upper 90s as early as next
