back towards san francisco, and still a few patches of low clouds off to the east of san jose, 53 right now. but as we head through the afternoon today, we'll have a weather system passing by mainly to the east of the bay area that will toss some showers and maybe thunder toward the high country. so watch out for that if you're going to head to lake tahoe. we could see a stray shower up there. north of santa rosa with winds picking up at times out of the northwest from 15 to 30 miles per hour. the mother's day weekend warmup kicks in for tomorrow just in time for mom's day. you'll see the numbers in the valleys starting to get into 80s around the south bay and mid-70s for san francisco and after that lots of 90s in the long range forecast. a full look at that and the complete forecast coming up in a few minutes. kris? >> thank you very much. we begin with the downside of the hot weather and what firefighters say seems like it never ended. the fire department will start seasonal brush fire patrols and

cal fire already started peak staffing for the while wildfire season that started a few days ago. california has seen more fires this year than expected. one just yesterday as many people were driving home from work along 280. there were more than 400 fires recorded this year, half a dozen san jose stations like station 19, will have fire crews ready 24 hours a day to respond to brush fires and wildfires like the ones that we've already seen breaking out in pittsburgh and marin. a scary thought considering a massive wildfire while require massive amounts of water right in the middle of the drought. >> a lot of our ponds in the cities are bone dry. they're not going to be able to get water out of those things. in fact, the area above canyon vista and the east side of san jose has basically an area that's similar to what happened in oakland hills so we get a wildfire in that area we may be in for a week or two campaign fire. >> fire officials are urging everyone to be proactive by

clearing 100 feet of space around their homes and being ready to evacuate if things get started. in the south bay, this runway at the san jose airport is open, but this is what it looked like last night as it was closed because of an emergency landing. a small plane had mechanical trouble around 8:30 last night. reportedly the nose gear collapsed forcing a rough landing. the plane had three people on board. fortunately no one was hurt. today berkeley school and police will continue to get to the bottom of why students rumbled on city streets for the third friday in a row. these are pictures people posted on twitter of some of the hundreds of high school students who crowded the sidewalks, sometimes fighting with each other, sometimes threatening people passing by. berkeley police say the students are from berkeley high, berkeley tech and oakland tech. police arrived ahead of the violence to try to quash it but as you can see in this video a witness posted on youtube, it

was a tense situation. a couple of street musicians who call themselves the john brother piano company said they stopped playing hoping the mob would go away. they say there were several fights and a wild mob played cat and mouse with police for hours. >> i saw a girl rip another girl's hair out. i actually didn't see any guys fighting. >> seems like every time the police would come, things would scatter and then they would re-emerge somewhere else. we were just here trying to play, trying to make a buck, so it was kind of impinging on our ability to do that. it didn't feel safe. >> business owners on shattock don't think any property was damaged. police did make three arrests. also in berkeley a smash and grab on a grand scale. that smashing done with a car. officers say someone intentionally drove that car into the apple store on fourth street yesterday morning. they grabbed phones and computers and left the car behind. a worker spent most of the day trying to repair the damage

district says he will remain on administrative leave while police investigate. president obama is back at the white house this morning after a quick trip to the silicon valley. >> hello, everybody. >> while the president was here he stopped at a walmart store in mountain view to talk green energy and how to make the country more energy efficient. the president praised walmart for having the most solar capacity of any company in america. >> ultimately save money and create jobs over the long term. walmart is pretty good [ inaudible ]. >> but walmart employees say that walmart also pinches pennies when it comes to paying them. they protested outside the store trying to get the president to focus on low wages. in response, a white house aide says that president supports raising wages to at least $10.10 an hour. the first openly gay football player is still waiting to be drafted. coming up on "today in the bay," michael sam waits to hear his

good morning once again. looking live at sunol and an interesting batch of clouds squishing on the mountainside and also looking live at the golden gate bridge which is clear as far as the eye can see. speaking of golden gate bridge, don't miss that last exit to the city or it's going to cost you. new construction near the golden gate is prompting a warning this morning. it is part of a parkway prompt on your map. as you head north on 101 you see the last sign that says last san francisco exit.

distinction that's not how they evaluate anybody about their personal choice. it's about can you play the game? >> most guys don't care. if they're anti they may make comments but in these times it's different. if you can help them win most guys want to win football games. he's waiting for an opportunity to prove everybody wrong. >> cheryl herd, nbc bay area news. >> we'll have to wait and see if we hear his name. a tech company wants to expand in the south bay city that it calls home. coming up on "today in the bay," can city officials allow that growth without affecting its citizens' quality of life? and a view from at&t park this morning. back to downtown san francisco. looks pretty nice so far right now. sunshine and a big-time warmup on the way. how it will impact your mom's day weekend when we come right back.

the city council is drafting its plans and they're trying to find the right balance between economic growth and quality of life. judging by the number of commuters in mountainview, the economy is improving but while some folks find themselves stuck in traffic, diane sometimes finds herself stuck in her driveway. >>? we live off shoreline and some morning you can't get out. >> reporter: mountainview is home to google and microsoft and perhaps soon, 10,000 more lnked in employees. the social media site submitted a request to the city to expand its headquarters on sterling court and develop a newly leased property on shoreline. >> the market is hot and this is a very desirable area. >> reporter: mayor clark says linkedin is weighing in as the city council creates it developsment plan for the north shoreline area, considering the number of jobs and cars, the impact on the economy and environment, and on the 76,000 people who call mountainview home. >> we want to allow companies the option to grow and expand

here in mountainview. we need to do it within certain confines that preserve the quality of life out here. >> reporter: traffic is certainly one of the growing pains. recently the city voted to move forward with a plan to cap the number of cars that can come and go from shoreline during peak house. the mayor says that's a last resort. first the city wants to encourage companies to increase shuttle ridership and car pooling. >> i think it's always a work in progress. they've got to come up with new ways because right now it's pretty bad. >> reporter: some folks say if more traffic means more jobs then that is worth a little more time behind the wheel. >> people are working, that's okay. >> the city council will consider linkedin's request at their may 27th meeting. the city's precise plan for development in that north shoreline area should come up for a vote in december. and now let's go to rob mayeda who has a look at a forecast that looks awesome for the weekend. >> it does.

no little whiney for my tastes by wednesday. >> things are turning hot. probably jumping ahead to the seven-day forecast towards the bottom of the screen. you will see the temperatures climbing up for the first half of the week right now, though, kind of an interesting day. we're seeing some clearing around the bay area. still patches of low clouds east of downtown san jose and the view from oakland, looking across the bay looks mainly clear. 56 degrees right now and if you can head out to the ball game we'll see the winds picking up out of the northwest today. should be in the 60s. get the nationals taking on the a's at 6:05, winds northwest 10 to 20 but during the day tomorrow as winds it urn out of the shore and offshore ill that will lead to the bing time warmup. not quite as warm. a system that will drop from the north that will bring a chance of believe it or not seeing some snow showers in the high country, mainly above 6,000 feet. could have some thundershowers during the afternoon. so watch out for that if you're heading to lake tahoe just for today. tomorrow that won't be a problem. we could maybe see an isolated shower up around lake county or

nof northern sotomaynoma county. the winds picking up, probably won't see showers around most of the bay area. you will see the winds 15 to 30 later today. that's going to keep our temperatures down for today and then winds turning slightly offshore as we head into late tomorrow into the first half of next week. temperatures surely are going to be turning hotter. 90s, maybe even near santa cruz on wednesday. upper 90s, very likely inland for wednesday and possibly into thursday as well. so if the high as strong as it is anchored across the west, we will not see chances of showers after today, you can see how the storm track is off to the north. hopefully have a system thursday and friday that will not bring us showers but hopefully encourage a stronger sea breeze that should lead to cooling conditions for all locations by next friday. today, we'll see the winds picking up, moving into the afternoon. close to 70 in san jose, and should still see mid 60s in san francisco but the winds could get gusty this evening. still going to want a light

jacket for sure with these numbers where they are for now. you will not need it tomorrow and our valley locations. north bay, highs in the low 70s, areas shofts of santa rosa might see a pop-up showers in the hills, more so towards ukiah and lake county for the afternoon and showers in the sierra. for the tri-valley, numbers in the low 70s today. show you the big jump ahead, comparing san jose to san francisco, watch these numbers, mother's day should be fine, probably little less wind for you on sunday and you can see san jose jumping into the 80s, near 90 on monday. tuesday and wednesday, wednesday looks to be the hottest day of the week, close to 100 for areas south of san jose towards morgan hill and gilroy and even san francisco. starting to climb up, mid 80s by wednesday. thursday probably one more day in the 90s and then the sea breeze will start to cool things off as you approach next weekend. mother's day looks fine. should be perfect for the outdoor plans. but definitely on the hot side. unfortunately, kris, not only see the hot temperatures we could have our first spare the air summer like days for the middle part of the week and fire

danger also on the rise as things turn drier and warmer over the next few days. back to you. >> we're watching for that. thanks, rob. got a lot of love for mom but maybe not a lot of cash? we have deals for you. you can head to starbucks on mother's day for a buy one, get one free oprah chai latte or get your mom a free meal at boston market if you buy one for yourself. if wings are your mom's favorite, head to hooters for a free entre up to $10. there are limits and restrictions so check with each restaurant for details before you go. coming up, a game changer for one shy student. >> they approached me and they were like what's your name where did you come from? after that i mean i started hanging out with them and i'm like wait, this school is awesome. >> the conversation that had a big impact on her and ultimately the entire school. the latest story in our bay area proud series coming up.

bay this morning shows clearing skies, breezy this afternoon and a big-time warmup pushing us closer to summer like numbers. fairly soon. we'll have a look at that forecast when we come right back.

good saturday morning to you. off to a mostly sunny start across the bay area right now. san francisco looking pretty good, 53 degrees, 51 oakland, 53 with still patches of low clouds off to the east of downtown san jose. those clouds will continue to clear out as we head through the afternoon and out at the oakland coliseum right now, see the clear skies there, 56 degrees around livermore out towards the tri-valley this morning and yes, the winds will be a big part of the story today. for now, still coming in off the ocean at times. keep our temperatures down. but then as they turn out of the north and offshore that's going to lead to the big jump in temperatures you see there in the seven-day forecast as we he approach the middle part of the week. one more weather system passing by, tossing some showers across the north coast. if you're heading up towards

ukiah today you may see some of the showers building in the hilltops and also out towards the sierra for the afternoon. we will see a chance, believe it or not, of seeing a little bit of snow with some of those showers above 6500 feet today. watch out for that if you're heading up interstate 80 toward the high country this afternoon. for us this pattern will reinforce northwest winds, picking up like we've seen over the last couple afternoons, wind speeds from 15 to 30 miles per hour today. windy and somewhat cool for one more day. the pattern begins to shift as high pressure heads in. we'll see north winds during the day tomorrow so mother's day we'll see temperatures in the valleys into the 80s and as winds start to turn offshore, not only will inland spot cease the 80s and 90s but down towards santa cruz as the air warms up and drys out as it heads towards seat shore -- the sea shore, santa cruz could see temperatures in the 90s wednesday. the storm track in this pattern, obviously staying way off to the north. the pattern change we'll

hopefully see next week, monday, tuesday, wednesday, notice high pressure keeping things clear and dry. a system coming in we hope will encourage the sea breeze to come back. the heat wave will get started most places monday afternoon. see the temperatures climbing up into the low 90s in a few spots, tuesday and wednesday, but we hope by thursday and friday temperatures will come back down again as the pattern shift returns by next weekend. so today, near 70 in san jose, upper 60s to near 70 around the peninsula. the winds pick up, may not feel too warm outside just yet. that will begin to change for tomorrow. we'll see highs in the mid 70s around santa rosa, low 70s closer to the tri-valley and east bay, upper 60s and 70s near walnut creek. the next five days look at san jose as the guide here. starting to see 80s showing up for tomorrow. mother's day forecast looks great but then a little bit too much of that sunshine as you see, temperatures climbing close to 90 inland on monday, low 90s by tuesday and then upper 90s

and i wouldn't role rule out perhaps close to 100 for livermore, sunol and pleasonton and areas south of san jose towards morgan hill. quite hot. you can see san francisco, mid 80s to maybe even near 90 around wednesday. then the sea breeze will start to pick up and cool things off as we head into thursday and friday. keep in mind the issues over the next few days. a heat watch will likely be issued for the bay area. fire danger going up and air quality suffering as the winds go light and summer like conditions set in by the middle part of the week. kris? >> thank you very much, rob. a long-time bay area congressman is leaving. next our exclusive interview with george miller who shared some critical words for president obama. >> good morning. i'm mike. lots to do in the bay. twin pine park in belmont is home for today's hungarian festival. their mission to promote share and educate about hungarian culture, language and arts

he's not flashy, not a multimillionaire but did inspire a tv show about his living arrangement in washington, d.c. george miller's 40 years in congress, he's stayed away from political scandals and focused on getting things done and now he's done and coming back home. roger has the interview with congressman george miller. >> reporter: if you've been to pittsburgh you know new mecca mexican restaurant, it's an institution. just like congressman george miller. now after 40 years in congress, miller is coming back to contra costa for good. >> when i ran for office in

1974, i ran to try to stop the vietnam war and to do national health care. and when the president signed the national health care bill and i was there at the white house it was the first time i sort of thought, maybe you've done what you came here to do. >> reporter: he's played a key role in starting obama care and fighting to raise the minimum wage again in his final months of office. but it's not just his office he's leaving, the soon-to-be 69-year-old will also leave the famous washington, d.c., house he owns. a house with three congressional roommates. this unique living arrangement inspired the show "alpha house." >> listen, are you still looking for a place to live? >> i am. >> a good arrangement, worked for us. it's some wonderful people people as my roommates. >> who's the messiest of the roommates? >> none of them are great. chuck schumer is a tough one. leon panetta had hospital corners on his bed. you could bounce a quarter off his bed.

i think we believe that chuck has not made his bed in 30 years. fortunately we have a person that comes in and helps clean the house every so often but in between it's a rough go. >> 40 years, i was expecting honestly, someone that was -- i just retired, i'm sick of it. >> oh, i do. it sounds corny, but it's been such a privilege and to play at this level in terms of national policy and to have really my successes is really very excitingpp. and it's, you know, hard to walk away but it's the right thing. >> i thought one of the best things i read recently, john boehner saying, no one would confuse us for political soulmates but we got things done together. >> we did. >> this is from john boehner saying this. >> that's right. most of my big national successes were bipartisan. i worked with very conservative members of the congress.

ted kennedy and i worked with john boehner to do education reform. >> if i can interrupt you. you can get things done in a bipartisan effort, at least some things done. how come that can't continue on a broader level? >> well, because you have the advent of the tea party and money that now threatens members if they do work cooperatively with the democrats, they're going to primary them. they're going to take them out. they're going to get them out of public office. and that's a huge intimidation factor. >> how hard was it for you, aside from politic, just as a father, as a husband, to have somewhat of a normal family life, to be commuting back and forth to washington every week for almost 40 years? >> it's tough. i think the real gift my wife gave me was she was going to raise the family here and i would commute and it would take the tension out of that. so it's a mixed bag. there's no great way to do it with a family. it's a tough life on families. >> you seem a lot of -- seen a lot of things come and go.

with president obama what's the biggest mistake in office he's made? >> he didn't engage the congress enough early on. for whatever reason. i don't know that. but the congress is his partner, whether he likes it or not or whether he thinks it's necessary or not. >> and no one told him or he just chose -- >> i don't know why. really, i haven't speculated on it. i wish it had been done in an earlier phase of his turn in office because he's so talented and he really i think understands what needs to be done. >> a very candid in those responses but one more note congressman miller said he's tired of commuting to washington, d.c. he has 5 million frequent flier miles on united. still ahead on "today in the bay," our wonderful pets from pets in need. this time, not the dog kind but the kitty kind.
