sunshine. that's what's on the menu for today with building warmth. my highlight tonight still seeing a lot of stars but a little bit of a chill out there. the extended no rain with above average highs. so let's jump into the pattern. double trouble. these two areas of high pressure, look at the storm track to the north. look how far to the south all the way into mexico is where we're steering the other storm track. we are not going to sniff a chance of rain for a long time. mid to upper 60s along the coast into san francisco. half moon bay, 64. 70 to 72 around the bay. and then 72 to 75 inland until you get up around ukiah. let's talk more about the bay bridge series at at&t park. 6:05 first pitch tonight. under sunshine. 60. dropping down to 56. if i put some clouds and breezy on there, it would almost be like summer. a look at our lows tonight. 50 for san francisco. san mateo, antioch and clover

dale. the rest of us 45 to 49 degrees. so still cool out there. here is my accuweather seven-day forecast. look at wednesday. wednesday was jealous of thursday and friday and said i want some 80s. looks like it. mid-70s at the coast. mid to upper 60s around the bay. we'll pull back the temperatures. still dry and warmer than average all the way through easter egg hunt sunday. here's alexis. >> sounds great, mike. traffic is looking good here this morning. not going to have much company if you're heading out welcome back across 580 on the richmond side of the bridge. that is still looking great. we do have one new trouble spot that popped up for dumbarton. near the toll plaza we have a disabled vehicle reported that is blocking one lane. chp is on the way. if you look really closely you can see a little bit of yellow picking up on our sensors. maybe a slight delay approaching that. northbound 101 through san jose, too. the only slow spot in all of the south bay. you're down to about 16 miles an hour. so overall things are looking

good. we'll head back up to the bay bridge commute just before 6:00. michael finney live in san jose this friday, march 30th, answering your consumer questions and answering all of your tax questions. the 7 on your side team will have tax experts on site from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at santana row in san jose. natasha, reggie, new at 5:00 a.m., this caught my attention. we have learned that a statue of a naked president trump is going to be on the auction block. it's similar to a statue on display in san francisco a while back, and that's a video here you're seeing of that statue here locally. the auction says the sculpture is the last statue remaining that wasn't either vandalized or destroyed when it was on display along with a lot of others in new york, san francisco, los angeles, and cleveland in the weeks before the 2016 election. in fact, you may remember all of

that. it made a lot of headlines. it was created by an art collector based here on the west coast. estimates say the statue will sell for anywhere between $20,000 to $30,000. it goes on auction in new jersey on may 2nd. so look for that. back to you. >> carefully edited video. new at 6:00, a health alert for parents, the important vaccine many boys aren't being offered. >> why you'll be seeing a lot of these pink license plates and how you can get one. how you can get one. >> plus, the uc berkeley

every day so far this month. it's been 18 out of the 26 days so far. i could probably paint 27 through 31 yellow showing dry. there's no rain in this forecast. here is where we'll end up at the end of the month. i did the calculations, anywhere from 110 to 155% of average. it's been a good month. natasha? the little girl who was at the center of the supreme court case that ended segregation in schools has died. linda brown was 9 years old when her father tried to enroll her in topeka, kansas. the school was all white at the time. brown's father sued the board of education when sumner blocked her from enrolling. the high court would rule in 1954 that separate facilities are not equal, which led to the desegregation of u.s. schools. brown died in topeka on sunday. she was 75 years old. cisco is taking a big step to try and end homelessness in santa clara county donating $50 until to the county program destination home over the next five years.

season. the numbers aren't quite as good. always good to get rain if we're going to get some during the dry rain season. we're still only 51% to 61% of average. watch this, the clock and the time is going to change. it will go through about an entire week's worth of rainfall potential. watch the numbers in your neighborhood. anybody? bueller, bueller, hello? nobody. no rain the next seven days. enjoy the sunshine and warm weather. >> we will, mike, thanks. meet the newest member of the uc berkeley police department. opi is a 14-month-old springer spaniel. this video is supplied by the university. he's enjoying a new life as a bomb detecting k-9 working and living alongside officer sal. he was abused as a puppy before a police dog trainer rescued him and brought him to berkeley. and now he's been on the job for about a month. >> oh, we love opi. what a got story. the reason director steven spielberg says netflix movies
