department of education have to come through the congress. we have the power of the purse. per article one of the constitution, we're going to assert that power. we're going to protect the department of education and all the vital services it provides. >> democrats say the trump administration's potential cuts may lead to larger class sizes, fewer resources for students with disabilities, and weaken civil rights protections in schools. in the north bay, the tiburon town council has advanced a draft ordinance to prohibit youths under 16 from riding some electric bikes. that's according to our media partner, the marin i-j. it applies to class two e-bikes with a throttle that lets a rider reach speeds of 20 miles an hour without pedaling. that ordinance also requires all riders to wear a helmet. the tiburon town council is expected to hold a final vote at its next meeting later this month. last month, the marin board of supervisors approved a matching draft e-bike ordinance for unincorporated areas of the

moon bay. nice view from emeryville. looking toward the golden gate. 74 in santa rosa, only 66 in petaluma we've got low 70s at napa and fairfield, 78 degrees right now at livermore. so it's pretty mild in many of our inland areas. and thesee our forecast headlines. the weekend wrap up warming trend continues tomorrow, but late tomorrow into tomorrow night and early monday morning. looks like some spotty showers and cooler conditions will move in. but by the middle of next week, we'll have temperatures at or above average, well above average. once again, the national weather service has issued a beach hazard statement for 11 a.m. tomorrow to 11 p.m. monday. uh- moderate northwesterly swell will bring an increased risk of rip currents and sneaker waves, so bear that in mind if you're going to be down near the coastline. here's our forecast animation overnight a few clouds, mainly high clouds, but near the coastal areas. we'll see some low clouds as well. start the day tomorrow with bright skies, but with the presence of those high clouds. and then tomorrow night in comes that frontal system. i was talking about bringing some light showers overnight into monday

morning, but it won't amount to much. we're talking about just a couple of hundredths of an inch of rainfall, and mainly in the north bay, maybe down onto the peninsula and a couple of east bay locations. it won't be area wide though. overnight low temperatures will be generally in the mid to upper 40s. so cool in some spots but not cold. and tomorrow look for highs of low 60s at the coast. we'll see low to mid 70s around the bay shoreline, mid to upper 70s inland. so it's going to be another nice mild day. here's the accuweather seven day forecast monday. it cools down a bit as those morning showers arrive and the clouds sort of linger into midday. that's a little bit sunnier on tuesday, but not much milder. but wednesday brings quite a warm up, with high temperatures inland near 80 degrees, and that warm weather will last until next weekend when it cools down again. >> a little bit of a roller coaster ride. how's this foa gritty win? after a six game road trip nearly two weeks on the road, the warriors welcome in the nuggets at home on the back end of a back to back. less than 24 hours after defeating the lakers in la. and you know

you've got it going when three time nba mvp nikola jokic sitting on the bench ranting you're doing something right. he never gets rattled like this. but stephen curry has been on an absolute heater over the last three games 52 points in memphis tuesday 37 in la thursday night and 36 last night against denver. flex on him steph so far in april. he's averaging 41.7 points per game. so are the dubs a contender? >> all the things that championship caliber teams do we've been doing. and it's clearly different than two months ago. so just an idea of hold on to that energy and for us to just be able to get into a playoff series, we understand what we're capable of. >> i'm sorry, i'm giving you the lowest energy ever. i'm exhausted, but it's good. hello. like i sound like klay thompson up here. >> he's got a paper airplane. >> i don't even know how to make

him. i would make him fly across but i don't know do it. >> and draymond's got kids too. so i mean he got to be sleepy. all right a picture perfect opening day at oracle park yesterday. giants fans, you really got your money's worth. as the giants opened their 25th season of baseball at oracle park. 19 total runs, 32 total hits, 11 innings, four hours and three minutes worth every second. it was a game to remember for giants new shortstop willy adames in his home debut. call him adamos here. watch willie with the hops robin julio rodriguez of a base hit, snaring that liner. julio not too happy. and then in the bottom of the 11th time to be a hero. game winning two rbi walk off base hit as the giants win it, ten nine, in 11 innings. >> well, i did it with a win. you know i was going to do the you know, hit the walk off hit. but i'll take it. and it was amazing. obviously it was a great game. we were battling until the end. thank god we came out on top and got the win. and

you know, hopefully we can continue to roll. >> a lot of twists and turns. so we did a lot of good things, right. we obviously didn't do some things right. it kind of went both ways. but for an opening day like that with a packed house, nobody left for one second and it seemed like there was drama every single inning. at least we put on a good show. >> it was a good show. hey, you see this? the san jose sharks partnering with make-a-wish to fulfill five year old luke schumann's dream of meeting his favorite player, macklin celebrini. now, the minnesota native beat a rare form of hodgkin's lymphoma after undergoing months of treatment this past summer. met with macklin at practice and macklin says, hey, you want to fight? he goes, sure, and then he did. he will also attend tonight's game, vip style with his family. special meet and greet with the players. after the game. luke, we are rooting you on and i'm glad you didn't actually beat up the shark star player because he went toe to toe in a fight and that was just that's that's why you love sports right there. oh that's amazing. >> it's heartwarming. it's sweet. it's a memory that, you know, so many people have for a lifetime. >> good job sharks. good job
