today leaving temperatures this afternoon. by the afternoon mid to upper 50s along the coast and san francisco. south bay low 70s there. we will have low to mid-70s in the east bay and mid to upper 60s through the north bay. we will still have a warm surge of weather coming this weekend. i will that coming up next. bruins in the south bay. a shooting last night has turned into a standoff this morning with the suspect believed to be armed in the heart of san jose. the police officers surrounded a home on north 4th street off of east heading street where negotiators have been asking this man to surrender peacefully. neighboring homes have been evacuated. this all started just after 5:00 last night when police found a person shot with life- threatening injuries. this morning police are asking everyone to please avoid this area. we will bring you updates on

this breaking story as soon as we get new information. as abc7 news works to build a better bay area, we are on vaccine watch, tracking every step in the push to get people vaccinated. as of a few hours ago, everyone 16 and older in the state is eligible for the covid-19 vaccine. amy hollyfield has more live from fremont where vaccination sites are gearing up. >> reporter: hi there. we talked to a teenager who planned to stay up until midnight. the minute she became eligible she planned to get online and get an appointment booked, if she could. there will be a lot of interesting today getting into these clinics. starting today, all californians over the age of 16 request get a coronavirus vaccine. those under 18 can only get the pfizer vaccine. the others are not approved for minors so sites need to organize their appointments

accordingly. the team that organized the my turn site put a lot of planning into preparing the system for a lot of foot traffic. >> we upgraded the system to make sure we can handle capacity of 300,000 transactions per hour, more than sufficient for the influx of people seeking registrations through my turn. that is not what people say, usually, but i know we can do it. >> reporter: if your teen doesn't see eligibility at a certain clinic, it means they don't have the pfizer vaccine so they can't accept teens or minors, the 16 and 17-year- olds. this is largest age group to become eligible at one time, 16 to 49, so it could be a struggle at first to find an appointment. demand will be higher than supply. officials are asking everyone to be patient, not to give up, and it could take months to get everyone that want as vaccine a shot. reporting live in fremont, amy

change coming and more change we can do. >> i was scared looking at the promo. we have been through so much, but i am glad you added that there is hope and how we can be involved in that change, because it is a lot to look at, mike. >> i like to hear that, kumasi. we like to bring to light what is going on, and what we can do to mitigate it and continue to do in the future to mitigate the climate change and try to get us back on track to a healthier earth. join us at 9:00. i hope to see you then. all right, let's talk weatherwise. partly cloudy conditions in the south bay. afternoon sunshine just about everywhere. seasonal temperatures today. a surging summer spread this weekend as we get temperatures about 25 degrees from the coast to inland difference. it will be milder next week. temperatures will pull back a little closer to average but unfortunately it doesn't bring rain with it. the same two players on the map. the high to our west, the low to our east and the on shore

breeze will bring our temperature down about 2 to 3 degrees. hardly noticeable today. 66 to 71, the spread in the south bay. san jose around 70. 62 to 67 on the peninsula today. most of us around the mid-60s. downtown, even south san francisco should reach 60. mid to upper 50s along the north bay coast to sausalito, 65 to 73 in the valleys. 62 at richmond, 65 at oakland, 69 inland in san ramon and 74 in brentwood. around the state today, no more valley rain and munn snow in the sierra. partly cloudy and mid to upper 50s in tahoe and yosemite. tonight you can see more widespread clouds and temperatures in the 30s in our deepest north bay valleys, most of us in the low to mid-40s. the breeze should back off a little tomorrow. a couple degrees warmer away from the coast, then look at that surge of warmth saturday,

especially sunday, with near record highs. monday it holds on. then you can see tuesday and wednesday temperatures taper a little bit and get closer to average. a little bit of a roller coaster coming your way. >> thank you, mike. top golf san jose is finally making its much anticipated grand opening tomorrow. covid-19 delayed it for more than a year and social media has been buzzing about the bay area's first golf-based entertainment facility. yesterday staff on hand for a soft opening as guests got their first taste of the golf and safety measures there. the entire hitting bay is fully sanitized after every use. distancing measures are in effect and much of the indoor facilities are closed until later. reservations are required and we have a link to that on our website at abc7news.com. coming up, the seven things to know this morning. >> avoiding covid exposure on planes. the one thing the cdc says airlines can do to keep

a big day for california in the fight against covid-19. as of midnight anyone 16 and up is eligible to get a vaccination. officials say the appointment website has been upgraded to handle an influx of users. and number three, the use of the johnson & johnson is still paused this morning. a cdc panel says it needs more information about a possible link between the shot and reported blood clots. number four, san francisco is easing more pandemic restrictions today. indoor seated events can increase to 35% capacity. outdoor events can be at 50% capacity. and number five, if you don't like extremes, today is about as average as it gets. look at. this all of us, except for san francisco, within one degree of our average high. and number six, things are looking good on the traffic front. a live picture here now from

the san mateo bridge, things are picking up. and number seven, today would normally be tax day but the irs and california tax board have delayed it because of the pandemic. the deadline for your 2020 returns now is may 17. this will be a little frustrating because in today's "gma first look" a new cdc report finds that keeping the middle seat empty on some airplanes may reduce passenger exposure to covid-19 by more than 50%. you know the middle seat that is now totally full? here is abc news with more. >> reporter: in this morning's "gma first look" the question in the mind of every air traveling. when it comes to filling the seats on a plane, how full is too full? the cdc is reigniting the debate over middle seats, releasing a report that having passengers sit further apart on planes could reduce exposure to

viruses like covid-19 from 27% to 57%. >> when people are in flight and they eat they remove their mask. they may not put it back on immediately. there in the the danger that they sit there, they may talk to their colleague or family and generate parols, so if we take this and actually mutt masks up and run the study, imagine what we could find here. >> reporter: we will have much more on the study, plus a closer look at the rising airfares at 7:00 a.m. with your "gma" first like, abc news, miami. there are three recalls that parents and little ones should know about. first, these bee attacks the firefly frank infant teethers, 55,000 were sold at sergeant and manufactures are saying the wings can come off. and this is a clip activity rattle. 18,000 were sold at california

and the manufacture says there could be loose parts here. and these cat ears were sold at target and reports about lining peeling. they all cause choking hazards. if you have any of these products you can return them to the store for a full refund. still to come, the rules changing overnight while you were sleeping as far as vaccine eligibility. and students returning to the classrooms and things looking different with covid measures in place. and a shake up at the highest court in the land? the future of the supreme court, coming up. and a live look at sfo. it is 5:26. we will be right back.
