and build towards a more peaceful coexistence. >> it has been six months since the start of the war between israel and hamas. will show you how people here in the bay area came together to honor those who have been killed. >> it's incredible. it's everything people say it is, it just an entirely different experience. >> and we are just a few hours away now from the highly anticipated solar eclipse. what you'll be able to see right here in the bay area from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. good

morning. >> thank you for waking up with us here on mornings on two. it is monday morning, april 8th. some good news about that eclipse here in the bay area. steve paulson says it's going to be pretty clear. not too cloudy for us now. >> we're good. i can't say the same about the middle of the country, though, so we'll take a look at that. but we're good to go, pamela. all right. we have clear skies, teeny bit of patchy fog, but there's not much there. 40s on the temps. livermore and palo alto both have 40, but we look good here. you can see everything is cleared out. so under mainly clear skies, that's not the case, though. texas looking partly to mostly cloudy with a line going. you can see some thunderstorm activity so hit and miss maybe. hopefully there'll be some breaks in the clouds for us. we're starting to warm up 60s and 70s on those temps. all right. unfortunately we're out of the gate with an issue on the bay bridge sal castaneda with an update on that . >> all right, steve, you're right. there is a crash on the bay bridge. i'm going to start and move from the east bay over to the bay bridge. start at the

macarthur maze and westbound 80. looks good there. it's nice and light. there's not a big backup at the toll plaza, however, on the bay bridge on the westbound on the western side of the bay bridge, there is a crash. two cars here. let me turn these radios down then. a little aggressive this early hour of the morning. all right, let's start again. i'm going to erase this. westbound at the bay bridge. the right lane is blocked. one of the cars had the airbags deployed. it is early and doesn't seem like there are major injuries, but we're going to keep an eye on that for you and report back four. oh one let's go back to the desk. >> thank you sal. well we are now just hours away from what is expected to be mother nature's most fascinating light show in years. people in parts of the united states will be able to see a total solar eclipse later this morning. if it's not too cloudy, the rest of us will see a partial eclipse. the moon will pass between the earth and the sun, blocking out the sun's rays and casting its shadow on the

earth. an estimated 44 million people across 14 u.s. states, stretching from texas to maine, are expected to get a pretty good look at that rare event, and the excitement is growing. >> it's pretty dramatic in terms of what you actually see. and it's not, as i said, not pitch black. it's a very eerie experience, though, because the light is very strange and your eyes have adapted in a strange way to that twilight. it seems a little bit purplish. the shadows before you get to eclipse are strange that your fingers make elongated shadows, but you can see little crescents of the eclipse in between the leaves of a tree. >> stargazers here in the bay area will be able to see that partial eclipse. about one third of the sun will be covered by the moon. the eclipse will start at about 10:00 this morning, with the peak at about 1115. now, three science centers here in the bay area are hosting solar eclipse watch parties this morning. they include the exploratorium in san francisco, the chabot space and science

center in oakland, and the lawrence hall of science in berkeley. all of those watch parties start at 10 a.m, just about an hour before the peak. cell phone providers say they are ready for an increase in phone usage during the eclipse. at&t says it is expecting surges in network usage today, as the eclipse hits its peak, and a lot of people start live streaming video of the event. the impact is expected to be the strongest along the path of totality. some providers are also implementing additional capacity, which could prevent major outages. now we're going to have live streams of the eclipse from all over the country. on the fox local app, you can watch not only ktvu, but also other fox stations from around the country. all of our sister stations are covering the eclipse today. just download that fox local app on your smart tv. in other news, this morning in gaza, palestinians are returning to the city of khan yunis after the israeli military announced it is withdrawing troops from the area. many of those returning to the gaza

strip, second largest city, say their city is unrecognizable with piles of rubble where their homes and businesses used to be. residents say they had hoped that they could move back into their homes, but found a city in ruins. jordan sends its largest humanitarian aid convoy to the gaza strip since the war began. a charity organization reports 105 trucks carrying food, including rice and flour, are on the way to gaza this week. with the war now passing, the six month mark, some israelis who had been held hostage by hamas are talking about their experiences. one woman describes what happened on october 7th, when hamas militants attacked the kibbutz, where she lived with her family. >> nadav. my husband, they shot him at point blank range in the chest. there were 2 or 3 gunshot wounds, i remember, and he was lying on the floor like that quietly. i remember him with his legs folded and lying quietly. it straight away. there were

five terrorists inside the mohammad. the safe rooms with weapons opened in the closet there, and telling us to get dressed, she says. >> she was taken to gaza and released as part of the november ceasefire agreement. after seven weeks of being held hostage here in the bay area, people held events to honor the lives lost and to call for the release of the hostages still being held by hamas. six months after the fighting in gaza began, katie icu la monica peters spoke to attendees at one event in palo alto, where some people continued to push for a cease fire. >> at the corner of town and country, village in palo alto, we demand that cease fire. dozens of people gathered to show support for an immediate cease fire in gaza. the gaza health ministry says women and children make up two thirds of those killed. >> we're talking about an extraordinary number of orphaned children, children who've lost their entire families, children

who are now caretakers for their younger siblings. it's just really i'm a mother of four children. it's in comprehensible to me free palestine. >> the group calls its weekly event vigil for the children of gaza. they say they've been meeting at this corner each sunday for months, trying to bring awareness to the suffering. the un recently concluded that starvation in gaza is imminent and israel may be committing war crimes. >> the pressure we're putting on government is actually working. this is the only reason they're turning now, not out of compassion, not out of humanity, but because they're afraid we won't vote for them. >> in november, six months after the attacks, israel says more than 130 hostages are still being held by hamas. and the gaza health ministry says more than 33,000 palestinians have been killed, with no current deal or ceasefire agreement on the table, analysts say there's no end in sight to the fighting. >> when we called for a cease

fire, we mean everybody should work to put down their arms and build towards a more peaceful coexistence. that's fair for both the palestinians and the israelis. >> the group says they'll continue meeting here every sunday, calling for cease fire into the death and violence comes to an end. lamonica peters ktvu, fox two news thank you. >> lamonica police in santa monica are trying to figure out who is responsible for the anti-semitic graffiti found across the city. investigators say symbols and anti-semitic messages have been showing up on buildings, sidewalks and street signs and several neighborhoods during the past few days. santa monica's mayor says his city will simply not tolerate these acts of hatred and intolerance. >> it's hurtful and should not be happening in santa monica or anywhere. with all the strife that's going on in the middle east. to have this in our city makes it more hurtful.

>> city crews in santa monica have been working around the clock to paint over the graffiti, but they say more hateful messages continue to show up all across the city. the monterey police department is investigating two hate crimes. the first report was filed march 23rd when a man was caught on camera displaying white power symbols before allegedly yelling racial epithets. the case has already been sent to the county for prosecution. the second report was two days later at fisherman's wharf, where an unhoused man admitted to yelling racial slurs at another homeless person and attempted to kick them. he has been ordered to appear in court for hate crime and assault. authorities are looking for the driver of an suv that crashed in concord, killing a child passenger, the chp tells us. a gray mazda was driving on northbound interstate 680 early sunday morning, when, for some reason, it went off the road through the dirt median overturned several times. six

people were in the car. several of them were not wearing seat belts. the child who died was a nine year old girl. four women in the car went to the hospital with significant injuries. the driver, who is described as being in his 30s, ran away from the crash. an inmate at the santa clara county jail in san jose was found dead in his cell. authorities say 27 year old man was found unresponsive at about 415 saturday morning. they gave him cpr, but he was pronounced dead about 25 minutes later. the sheriff's office says the inmate, whose name has not been released, was in his cell alone at the time of his death and says there is no evidence of foul play. most people who have been living in rent controlled apartments in san francisco for many years are paying far less money than to their landlords than their neighbors. now, the chronicle looked at data shared by the city relating to san francisco rent stabilization law. it found on average, people

who had lived in a unit longer had lower rents than newer tenants. the city started requiring landlords to report rent data to the city, but many landlords have not filed the required information, and some tenants have reported illegal rent increases beyond the allowed limit. all right for ten is the time. back over to steve. what do we need to know for the weather today? >> starting return to spring, pamela will be a little bit warmer here today. it looks like we'll peak out on wednesday and then right now end of the week does look active. but next three days is all about more sunshine is that high begins to build in a little cold this morning. not as bad as it was saturday morning that was a cold one here, but 30s 40s on the temps here. we'll get a little bit cooler, but there is a slight breeze for some. i mean, mendocino county, lake county, some 30 sonoma's 39, a lot of 40s showing up, but there's enough of a breeze here in the hills that kind of keep things stirred up. and that's also the case at the surface, not only in the hills, but at the surface. novato northwest at 17. that'll

do it. santa rosa, even a north at three will do it. oakland. same thing that keeps the temps up 2127. truckee, south lake tahoe 40 on the temps for many storm track if you will. the jet stream is staying to the north at least for four days, so lots of sun and warmer. >> 6070 pam all right, sounds nice. plastic surgery at bargain prices. why one family is now warning people about getting procedures done in mexico. plus i don't think that's ever the right thing to do. >> they're taking away something that the students really need and want to do. >> the university of san francisco is cutting its tennis program. we have details on the students who are going to be impacted and why they wendy's orange dreamsicle frosty, this takes me back man. it's like taking a trip down memory lane. i didn't know they sold dreamsicles on memory lane.

for the flavor that takes you back, get wendy's new orange dreamsicle frosty. she got that dress with the extra money she saved using our brand new grocery outlet app. it's been really fun seeing what everyone's doing with the extra money they save. nice shirt. just got back from vacation. a butler? super nice guy. i got to start using the app.

university of san francisco. as ktvu zac sos tells us, the university is eliminating men's and women's tennis teams and blaming budget shortfalls. >> kind of sad. >> i just felt bad about it. it made me kind of sad to hear about a team folding. >> university of san francisco students learning this weekend that their men's and women's tennis teams would be taking to the courts in golden gate park for the last time when the season wraps up. >> i know that the university is in a bit of a dire situation, so i know that they had to cut something. and a lot of folks knew about tennis. >> the university described its decision to discontinue both division one programs as among the difficult moves, being made on campus to save money due to enrollment shortfalls. >> i absolutely do feel bad for the team. i mean, i, i can't say that i was too surprised because , i feel like a lot of programs have been getting cut and a lot of programs here don't have a lot of funding, especially like

arts. >> i'm glad they didn't end up cutting a major, because i think that would have been more detrimental to more students and also incoming students. >> together, the men's and women's tennis programs costing the university more than $1 million to operate each year. >> i think there's probably other things that they could have done to save money if they needed to save money, and i think cutting the tennis team was not the way to do it. >> in a statement, university athletic director larry williams saying in part, quote, personally, i'm very sorry that our players and coaches received this news. they did not expect their usf careers to be shortened in this way. we are doing everything we can to assist them as they chart their next steps and plan for their futures. the 16 players on both teams now being offered the opportunity to keep their scholarships and continue their studies at the university or transfer out, they can only imagine how those players and their families feel. >> and then their tennis fans

feel. >> and as for the coaches, the university says they are working with them on next steps. i can tell you i reached out to one of the coaches via email and he says this whole thing, it's just completely blindsided them in san francisco, zac sos, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you zach. well, the warriors played the los angeles lakers tomorrow night in a critical game for the postseason. the warriors clinched a spot in the play in round, but they hope to overtake the lakers in the standings to guarantee a home game. the dubs beat the utah jazz 118 to 110 at chase center last night. steph curry had the night off, but fellow splash brother klay thompson had one of his best offensive games of the season. 32 points and 3.63 pointers. >> that's to be determined. we got to obviously advance past the west semis, but i think we're playing the best brand of basketball. he played all season and i am going to be very confident going into the

play-in. >> the warriors may catch a big break tomorrow. the lakers two top stars are battling injuries. lebron james missed last night's game with flu like symptoms, and anthony davis was poked in the eye left in the first quarter. the warriors are thinking dub nation for all the support. this season, the team held its annual fan appreciation night last night at chase center. warriors players and coaches say the fan base helps create an advantage, especially when playing the toughest competition. i think one of the best compliments you can get is when people complain about your noise. >> we've had those. we've had those complaints. >> our fans are not only passionate and loud, but they're knowledgeable. they love the game. it feels like it's worth a couple of buckets every game for us fans. >> at last night's game were given a custom t shirt designed by a local artist. the warriors have just two home games left in the regular season friday against new orleans, and then sunday again against utah.

tonight is the championship game in the ncaa men's basketball tournament. it is a battle between two number one seeds connecticut and purdue. uconn looking to become the first men's team since florida in 2007 to win back to back titles. purdue has the consensus player of the year seven foot four inch center zach edey. caitlin clark of iowa hands down the most famous player in college basketball, either women's or men's. she will be the number one pick in the next month. it's next monday's wnba draft, but she ended her stellar college career in the championship game against south carolina. the game cubs score stormed back from clark's 18 points in the first quarter to finish off an undefeated season and win the ncaa championship 87 to 75. the rancho san antonio open space preserve in santa clara county will be closed today and tomorrow, so that the puma project can safely do some

research. now, the group is with uc santa cruz. it is part of a five year study to better understand factors that influence interactions between mountain lions and humans. with this research, the puma project wants to develop better management systems to help us safely coexist with the big cats . all right. back over to steve paulson. sounds like we're in for a nice day and clear skies for the eclipse. >> we're good. good. can't say the same about the middle of the country though. >> oh, that's too bad. we're going to get a full, full view if they can. >> we're good. pam we're okay. 30s, 40s on the temps here under mainly clear skies. might be a little bit of patchy fog. i mean, i'm looking here. i can't really find much 40s for most danville's at 40. clayton's at 40. castro valley though at 39, pinole is down to 41. lafayette 42. north dublin also at 41. so there are a couple, but there are some low 50s. el cerrito, alameda, because we're getting a breeze, a little north breeze, and that'll help warm us up

today, slightly more north and northeast, but it'll probably turn a little northerly as the high builds in northwest nevada to 70mph. a little bit of a north wind. oakland, concord, santa rosa, 20s in the mountains. 44 arcadia at 52 down in san diego and 54 in las vegas. high pressure building in. that's going to give us a warm up for about three days, maybe four, before it starts to back off. and it looks like a system will arrive on friday into saturday. what? yep, i know that's the way it works here, but enjoy the next 3 or 4 days because they do. maybe our first 80 of the season will arrive. pam on wednesday. >> okay. thank you steve. the country music awards were last night. we're going to take a look at some of the tributes and hit songs that took center stage in the biggest night of country music, and a string of sideshows were reported across the bay area this past weekend. one o them had

the cargo ship that crashed into the francis scott key bridge in baltimore. cranes are being moved in to take the 4700 containers off the ship, and onto barges. removing those containers is a critical step in moving the ship and reopening the port. it's not clear how long it will take, but last week , the u.s. army said it did hope to have the channel at least partially open by the end of the month. well, over the weekend, a string of sideshows swept through the bay area, including one on the bay bridge that brought traffic to a standstill. it started saturday night at 11:00 in menlo park, with hundreds of cars and spectators. after that, there were sideshows in mountain view, palo alto and oakland. then, at 315 on sunday morning, a sideshow blocked the westbound lanes of the bay bridge with spectators walking in the traffic lanes. traffic on the bridge was blocked for nearly 20 minutes until the

highway patrol was able to clear the crowd. >> four people were detained, two of which were arrested and two of which were cited for aiding abetting in a sideshow. two of the people that were were detained were determined to be juveniles. >> a 20 year old woman suffered a broken ankle at the sideshow in mountain view when she was hit by a car. it's unclear if the sideshows were made of the same crowds, or if different groups showed up to those sites. crews are going to start working on repairs this week on a stretch of highway that has been highway one that's been shut down in monterey county because of a crumbling cliff. caltrans says the prep work to install anchors to stabilize the cliff will begin today, with the work beginning tomorrow. a 40 mile stretch of highway one has been closed since easter weekend, when that landslide took out part of the road twice daily. convoys are taking people in and out of that closed area. they have resumed after being paused because of the rain. caltrans

says it is unclear how long repairs to the road there will take. highway one in capitola is back open this morning. that's after it was shut down for nearly 24 hours. so the capitola avenue bridge could be demolished. caltrans used heavy equipment to take down the structure. the road reopened ahead of schedule yesterday afternoon. a new overcrossing is expected to be finished by next summer or fall. president biden and donald trump, trying their best to appeal to donors. which campaign has managed to bring in more money? just about seven months before election day? and two of the biggest financial companies in the country could merge. we'll tell you what government officials are saying about the possibility of a merger between capital one and discover, and the question of whether regulators will allow that to go through. and don't forget, you can have the morning

return to spring. pam. we'll get some 70s on the temps. low 70s, warmest day looks to be wednesday, maybe our first 80s of the season, it's mainly clear out there. there's a couple patches of low clouds, but really only people in weather would probably notice it. but a couple of 30s showing up. i mean, we're still getting some 30s here and 40s. we look good though, with a northerly breeze here, but middle of the country, not so much. the forecast models two weeks ago were on this, so i got to give them credit. so through texas you can see a lot of cloud cover. but for us where we are we are good to go here for today 6070 on the temps. all right. sal is here. we had one issue on the bay bridge. is that better? same what? >> it's better. i watched them clear traffic or stop traffic on the bridge for a little bit earlier. about ten minutes ago. 15 minutes ago. now we can show it to you. i was watching on this very camera that i'm going to show you right now, westbound bay bridge. i watched them do a traffic break. they cleared the crash. now things are good to

go. there's not a big backup at the bay bridge toll plaza at all. it looks very good. we also have another crash in the south bay to deal with. southbound 101 at matilda avenue. a brief slowdown past the scene, but for the most part, traffic is light in san jose and that area for 30. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal, we are now just hours away from the celestial event that will have millions of americans looking to the sky. part of the country is about to experience a total eclipse of the sun. doug luzader reports from washington dc this morning about all the excitement . good morning doug. >> good morning here in washington, we expect about an 89% eclipse. so we're not in the path of the total eclipse. but this all depends on where you are and how the weather is today . >> on the left also and probably on the bottom with telescopes already pointed skyward. >> amateur and professional astronomers in mexico will be the first on the continent today to see the big show. >> this is the first place on

the continent where the moon shadow will touch. so the moon shadow will first touch down in the pacific ocean. it will come racing from that direction. it will come rushing over us and the first view will be from here. >> and from there. the path of the total eclipse, which is only about 115 miles wide, will travel northeast, crossing a heavily populated part of the us, where about 32 million people live and millions of others have made the trek. >> i already drove about 10.5 hours just to get here, and i'm willing to drive another 9.5 hours just to see a more certain clear version. >> if the weather cooperates, what they're going to see in those final five minutes before totality is the street lights come out, venus starting to make an appearance, then jupiter, then we'll see the diamond ring effect, where that last speck of moon or sunlight is coming through the moon's valleys. and then we're thrust into twilight. >> that's if the weather cooperates. and cloud cover

today is the real question. most of the rest of the country will see just a partial eclipse. but either way, doctors say do not under any circumstances, look at the sun with your naked eyes, and that makes these special eclipse glasses a very hot commodity. and even using your phone to take a picture of the sun can damage the phone. so be very careful about this. unless you're in that one little 115 mile stretch of the country that experiences the total eclipse. back to you guys. >> all right, boy, that's good advice. keep protect your phone. thank you. doug luzader live in washington. well new this morning donald trump says states should make abortion policy. in a social media post, trump announced his position on abortion, saying states should be able to determine whatever policy they want. now, he did not outright say whether he supports stronger bans, such as florida's fifth 18 week abortion ban. he also said he supports the availability of fertility programs like ivf, after a court

ruling in alabama limited that procedure. donald trump, also celebrating what is campaign, is calling his best night for raising money in this year's race for the white house. he held a fundraiser over the weekend at the palm beach, florida, home of billionaire investor john paulson. the trump team says the single event raised more than $50 million. >> people are just wanting change. a rich people want it. poor people want it. everybody wants change. our country is really doing poorly. >> however, despite what he said , the latest donation figures show trump is still running way behind president biden when it does come to raising campaign cash for this year's election. even president biden's reelection campaign says it finished the first quarter of the year with more than $192 million in cash. the biden campaign says 96% of those donations were less than $200. many were from new donors. the campaign also reports raising $90 million last month alone. a

southern california family warning others about the dangers of getting plastic surgery in mexico. 30 year old tan croatia williams saved $4,000 to go to the mexican border and have several procedures, including one on her stomach. but she died during the february operation. the autopsy indicated multiple blood vessels rupturing in her neck and abdomen. the family investigated and learned that both the doctor and his clinic were unlicensed. >> everybody is affected and you know, we all miss her. we loved her. she meant a lot to us. she was a very important person in our family. >> no word on what happened to the person who performed the surgery, but there was still advertising on social media for the clinic. after williams death, she leaves behind two young children. the overdose free marin coalition will hold a forum this week to address the increase in opioid overdoses in the county. this year's focus is

working together to prevent overdose before will discuss collaborative strategies, sharing resources and community action, the marin county's health department says. recent statistics show the county averaging more than one fatal overdose each week, with the biggest threat continuing to be fentanyl. congressional leaders are weighing in about a potential merger between two of the largest credit card providers. senate majority leader chuck schumer addressed the potential capital one discover merger. he says if the $35 billion merger goes through, it could have consequences for millions of consumers who may be charged higher fees as a result. >> what could go up if this merger occurs that your annual fee, your interest charge, your late payment fee? in addition. foreign transaction fees, balance transfer fees and cash advance fees could go up. fees, fees, fees you get it.

>> the $35 billion acquisition would create the world's largest credit card issuer. it's still unclear if the federal trade commission will allow that merger, though, to go through. millions of americans are turning to new technology this tax season, according to a survey from the harris poll, 17% of americans say they have used chatgpt for tax filing. the same poll found 45% of americans are open to using artificial intelligence chatbots to review their taxes. but tax experts say people should be careful when using this technology to file their returns. openai actually says the chatbot is not designed for tax advice. some federal lawmakers are introducing a new plan to strengthen the privacy of americans personal data. now, the proposal would define privacy as a consumer right and create new rules for companies that collect and use personal information. companies would have to notify consumers about

details on collection and retention, and consumers would have greater control over issues such as opting out of being sent ads that use their personal information. there still not a final version of the proposal, and it's unclear when we could see a vote on that. the chair of the fcc will be in the south bay today to address the agency's upcoming vote to restore net neutrality. now, that's the policy that was dropped in 2018 that would require internet providers to treat all data the same. the fcc says the move would restore a national standard for broadband reliability and consumer protection. the roundtable is being held in santa clara county specifically to highlight an incident in 2018 when firefighters had internet access issues while responding to the mendocino complex fire. the back over to steve paulson. 438 is the time. where are you starting with the weather? >> our weather right here, because we'll be good to go, pam, for the eclipse. that and for a nice day here. back to

return to spring. some cold, cold readings over the weekend. we'll still getting a couple of 30s here, but let me turn this off here and turn the radar off and so it doesn't. there you go. because we don't need it and we get a northerly breeze. so we're warming up here at least through wednesday. thursday probably will still be okay, but i think some fog will be back by then. but looks like our first 80 of the season will be on wednesday. everything's coming down out of the north as that high builds in for about three and a half, four days, 37 kelseyville low 40s for some others. near upper 40s, 40 atherton, menlo park, stanford, los altos, half moon bay, 41. yet if you get that east breeze or north breeze, you can be in the upper 40s or even 50s. mount veeder's 48, oakland hills 45. but boulder creek is 37, yet they all have a north breeze. north at santa rosa. not much. novato northwest gusting 21. oakland north at three. fairfield concord in there as well. not much, but it's a

northerly direction. 20s in the mountains, 40s, 50s for many. up and down here. the high will win out and the series of lows that came in. at least they're gone for now. that's sun and clouds we had on friday now gives way to sunny and warmer conditions today. tomorrow. and it looks like we peak out on wednesday, but change is on the way. as you might imagine, it's that kind of a year and it looks like by friday into saturday we'll get back into some rain. but a return to spring. mostly clear morning, lots of sunshine. northerly breeze equals warmer conditions, so 6070 on the temps we'll bump it up even more. so tomorrow i think. first 80 of the season wednesday. still pretty good on thursday then starting to increase the clouds. looks like rain moves in on saturday okay. >> all right thank you steve anti-semitic graffiti continues in a california city. we have the mayor's response and why crews say it has been hard to get rid of it for good. and rapper sean diddy combs facing new allegations of abuse, why e has been named

peak it out on wednesday with a few inland locations near 80 degrees, and then we'll start to drop and we're done with the rain, right? no, it looks like friday night. saturday, another system comes in santa rosa, walnut creek, palo alto, san jose from 60s. yesterday we'll go low 70s today. how he's trying to ease into this transition, but it sure looks like it 40s on most of the temps. there are a lot of 30s, especially east and south, more so than north. look at clayton, danville is in there, castro valley, all with some 30s, yet there's a lot of upper 40s, even a few low 50s north northeasterly breeze. that'll do it every time. our northwesterly 19 truckee 26 south lake tahoe ukiah is down to 39 degrees. we're good to go though, for lots of sunshine today. all these series of lows keeps coming in and dropping. well, the last one was on the weekend on friday, saturday, but until we get to the next weekend it's sunshine and warmer temps. but i would prepare on friday night into saturday. it looks like another low is going to drop in to keep the beat going. >> pam okay thank you steve. well, the warriors are on a roll
