feeling an uncertainty and it's okay to feel that. >> reporter: chalk challenges prove it doesn't take much to help build a better bay area. in san jose, i'm amanda del castillo, abc7 news. >> i'm just happy to bring you a good florida man story for once. this florida man is bringing the joy of disney to the sidewalk. brian morris was out playing chalk with his daughters when he drew these portraits of lady and the tramp and baby yoda. they have been a huge hit with all the neighbors and disney is the parent company of abc7 news. >> wow. flounder. and ariel. >> he had it all. >> i'm impressed. so, how are you keeping yourself entertained during the shelter-in-place. a mother and son came up with an elaborate trick shot game.

>> scott and his mom made this contraption using a ping-pong ball and pots and pans and he always wanted to try a ping-pong ball trick shot and he didn't have the right set up or the time. but that has all changed. this is how he and his mom are passing the time. they are calling this a trick shot game but this is just beer paung, rig pong, right? >> no. let them have their joy, friend. >> how do we know they're not drinking. you don't play that the way they're playing it without drinking. >> that is their business, first of all. >> i'm sorry. i didn't hear what you said. >> i said that is their business. we don't judge what people do when they're on quarantine. >> i'm not judging it. just trying to be truthful about what is happening there in their home. >> i don't think anybody played beer pong like that, reggie. what kind of beer pong were you

playing? >> i didn't play beer pong. i was a good student. >> mike? >> so was i, but i played beer pong. all right. yeah. any time you have a red solo cup and a ping pong you know exactly there are resourcing other games and making them into new ones. so, let's take a look at what is going on. at least they're not drinking alone. golden gate bridge west at 15 miles per hour. stout sea breeze right now and that will keep the clouds pretty stubborn. limited sunshine. it will take a long time to see sunshine. tanking temperatures today because of that isolated shower today and tomorrow. i wouldn't worry about it. i would put it out there in case you see a dark cloud coming our way and check out live doppler 7 and see if it is something worth worrying about. fog forecast. everybody covered in clouds this morning. by noon, the bay is still covered and so is the coast and by the afternoon hours, the coast is covered. so, let's see what it does to our temperatures.

the coast will be the coolest. 59. oops. we jumped ahead there. 59 in half moon bay to barely 60 in san francisco to mid to upper 60s around the bay and low to mid 70s inland and the south bay and east bay where we'll see sunshine first. temperatures tonight upper 40s to low to mid 50s outside the north bay. that area of low pressure spinning off our coast and continue to slide to the south. as it does. the closer you are to higher elevations today and again tomorrow, you can see some green blips develop, but that's it. a better chance on monday and that's why we have a one on the storm impact scale then. look at the temperatures continue to taper as we get a cooler air mass invading our lives all the way through monday and then a warming trend begins with drier weather tuesday and wednesday. kumasi, reggie? >> thanks, mike. coming up new at 6:00, united airlines has canceled nearly all of its flights for next month and not looking too good for june either. we're going to share what the company ceo is saying this

thwe've never seen it look quite like this, but there's no mistaking it. and it's our job to protect it... because the best people to fight for our communities arthe within volkswagen or were thinking of buying sometime soon, we're here to help

with the community driven promise. welcome back, everyone.

a mom who delivered her baby while in a coma because of covid-19 is now at home with her newborn. >> oh, my gosh. >> this is the best story. so, doctors at a new york hospital put her into a coma so she could go on a ventilator during her battle with coronavirus. she was unconscious when doctors delivered her son by c-section. but on monday she was taken off the ventilator and got to meet her son, walter, for the very first time. >> what a story. >> right. well, the kids are, i know, it's wonderful. while the kids are stuck at home during this pandemic, a family of deer got stuck at a san mateo school. >> they are definitely trapped back here. i got it. >> theteoment wed behind a fence at laurel elementary school.

with the help of the school district, the peninsula humane society and the pta, look at that. the deer are now back out in the wild. i don't know. it seems to be more evidence that the animals are taking over. but, that could just be me. i'd rather have them than the robots. just laying it out right now. let's take a look at what is going on with the storm impact scale. one chance of rain and one decent chance and that's monday and showers likely. the issue i'm seeing right now is between where the moisture is in the middle part of the atmosphere and lower part of the atmosphere. a dry spot. and that's why rain amounts a third of an inch or less. little breezy, also. that will make it one of our coolest days. let's take a look at the potential rain total and with thlos and d our montere baynd the heavier the rain is going to be and the further

north, still 0.2 in the north bay. not too bad. reggie, kumasi, back to you. the seriously big ship pulling into the port of oakland today. plus, emergency room doctors are making an interesting plea in the bay area. if you are sick and suspect you have coronavirus, seek treatment. if you have a student in the san francisco unified school district, they could be getting a 4.0 grade for this semester a big change from what the state is recommending. i'm julian glover with those details coming up in just a moment. these people are all on the front line and i think we all can do a little bit to make their lives easier right now. they're not able to be with their families, but to be out there for other families. if we can just give them one day food from the place that they like and bring something to make them feel better and that they are not alone in this, then i

feel we did something.

now your health, your safety. this is abc7 news. now at 6:00, straight as for every student. one district says that's what kids deserve as a deal with this pandemic. we want to know what you think. go to abc7news.com/vote and we'll have the results and so much more on this proposal in a few minutes.

those aren't dogs or cats. those are coyotes taking over the streets of san francisco. >> i'm with you, jobina. remember reggie was like, it will be fine. in case anything happens, just run. friend. >> yes. remember we talked about the coyote we saw at the station right at the beginning we saw and then they invited their friends clearly. >> he was scouting us that early into this. >> what did you say, friend? >> have they done us any harm yet? >> you are not walking the streets when they are out there. >> shelter in place.
