6:47 am
>> it's the nightmare that the democratic establishment never wanted, and the opportunity liberal challengers never thought they would see. with the end of the primary season in sight, hillary clinton is fighting to nail down the nomination on june 7th, as you said. and bernie sanders is in a last-ditch effort to prevent just that. so while donald trump and the republicans show increasing signs of what we never thought would happen, a unified front, the democrats remain more divided than anybody ever expected. >> so what do you think? do you think clinton can end it all here in california on june 7th? >> it depends. it depends on how you interpret the data. take a look at the latest delegate count. look, on the surface, lyclinton needs only 159 more delegates to win. that should be pretty easy given the 548 delegates at stake here on june 7th, but not so fast say the sanders folks. why? because more than 500 of
6:48 am
clinton's delegates are super delegates who can change their minds on a dime. viewed that way, well, clinton is nearly 700 pledged delegates short with about only 1,000 delegates left to be selected between now and the end of the primary season, so there you have it. >> do you think this has sparked any more interest among voters, people who wouldn't have turned out otherwise? >> indeed it has, yeah. especially among democrats. data released by the california secretary of state shows nearly 100,000 more democrats have registered during the first three months of the year. while registration has fallen for republicans. in all more than half a million voters have registered so, yes, we do see some change here. >> just summarizing, how does this look? >> in it all likelihood very, very close. and here's why, according to the latest capital weekly poll which
6:49 am
was conducted just a couple weeks ago between april 28 and may 1st, hillary clinton has slight lead over bernie sanders. but here's the hope for sanders, among those 500,000 californians who registered during the first three months of this year, more than half, kira, more than half were under 35 years of age and that is the age group that sanders is based. and, another thing, independents, we have to remember, can participate in the california democratic mare and potentially this is another source of help for bernie sanders who has done well with independents in the open primary types. bottom line, listen this is really a tough one. a close race not only in california but the fact is it could be, according to some observers, a close race that goes all the way to philadelphia. >> and when is that? >> that's going to be the end of july, the beginning of august, both conventions will follow one after another and, i'll tell you something, a lot of work has to
6:50 am
be done by both sides between now -- and then, whoever wins, they have to somehow come together. >> i was going to say only three more weeks but we have more than that. all right. larry gerston, our political and list, thanks for joining us this morning. still ahead on "today in the bay" experts say it's setting a new standard for art. we take you to the grand opening in san francisco three years in the making. >> we have some fog this morning but it's not widespread. we're going to see some sunshine and it will warm up big time over the next couple of days plus rain in the seven day.

6:53 am
welcome back. 6:53, the time right now. this shot, a time lapse, you can see what we're looking at this morning. the marine layer breaking up from time to time. we are seeing sunshine here. the other thing to note from the south bay from mt. hamilton starting off dark obviously but as we put this into motion look at how much cloud cover is sitting over the south bay right now. this eventually will burn off. this is what we're waking up to. while it's sunny at the coastline, it is cloudy because of the marine layer over the mountains. again, nice and sunny to start the day in san francisco. you'll round out the day at 64 there. the tri-valley, you're heading to see temperatures in the low 70s today and even that marine layer visible there across parts of the tri-valley. if you're heading to bay-to-breakers, the sunshine is there. we see temperatures warm. we're at 55 degrees now.
6:54 am
as we head to noon, you'll be at 60. 64 degrees the expected high in downtown san francisco. later on this afternoon it will be windy, though, gusting out of the west at about 10 to 20 miles per hour. also happening today, yes, the sharks taking the blues in st. louis, missouri, at 5:00 we're expecting temperatures here in the bay area to be in the low 60s across the south bay where they're having a party at the s.a.p. center. across the west coast right now we don't have much happening. we had a storm system move through yesterday spinning across parts of the pacific northwest, the trailing cold front moved through yesterday bringing a little bit of cloud cover. today, though, it's bringing in the marine air. our cool ocean temperatures now in the 50s are really inundating the bay area. you can see the clouds drifted in to the northwest. that's a cool northwesterly flow. you will notice temperatures really don't warm a whole. so that's what we'll see today, 60s at the coastline.
6:55 am
70s expected for our inland locations. tomorrow the 70s nudge closer to the coast and then by tuesday they over. we're seeing 60s now, we will replace those with 70s. and then by tuesday, 80s for our inland locations that includes the north bay, the east bay and the south bay so by tuesday and wednesday it really starts. the three-day outlook, the south bay 70s to start the workweek. 80s by and wednesday. the same for the peninsula and in san francisco at 73 to start off the workweek. 83 by wednesday. across the north bay, the east shore and the tri-valley similar conditions. again, warm to start the workweek but warmer tuesday be a wednesday. temps start to cool off by thursday and friday because a storm system could actually bring some rainfall to the bay area as we head towards friday and eventually saturday and sunday. this thing looks to stall out and if it does that could mean several days of rafrl in may.
6:56 am
quite unusual but we'll it continue to track it friday, saturday and sunday of next week. in the meantime, it is hot around here. remember that spf the next couple of days. kira, back to you. anthony, thanks. well, after it was closed for three years san francisco's museum of modern art threw quite the grand reopening party yesterday. sfmoma was closed for extensive renovati renovations. it offers free access to ground floor galleries and free admission to those 18 years old and younger. the original five-story building has ten more stories which means three times more gallery space. highlights include 260 cure ated selections from the mouse doris and donald fischer collection, the grand reopening included performances by local music and dance groups and appearances by several leaders including governor jerry brown, lieutenant governor newsome and former house speaker nancy pelosi. i cannot wait to go.
6:57 am
the start of bay to breakers is about an hour away. here is the route for anyone heading out in the city today. the race starts near the embarcadero at the corner of howard and main. runners head down howard and then scoot over on to hayes street and eventually run through golden gate park. the race ends at the great highway. there are 40, almost 40 street closures. avoid the city, i would say, unless you're on foot today. >> it's crazy to look at the map and see how far it actually extends. wow, i've done that before? no wonder my feet hurt. >> we both did it last year. this year is much more tame year for us. >> taking a break, bay toers. >> good weather to enjoy. >> we're in the right now. in the 60s later on this afternoon. sunshine across the entire bay. >> and,000y, thanks. thanks to you for making us a part of your morning an hour earlier than usual. we'll have more local news tonight at 4:30, 6:00 and 11:00 and all day on nbcbayarea.com.
