cup tune-up match. both teams headed to russia in june. it's mexico's third time as levi's since 2016. mexico went on to win 3-0. and this looks like a home match for mexico. today in the bay's damian trujillo was at levi's stadium where the iceland fans were outnumbered. >> reporter: the fans crashed the tailgate parties in the levi's parking lot. their national soccer team, the pride of mexico, was taking the field. it was a one-sided party as levi's is quickly becoming the second home of the team known as el-tri. we did spot three fans wearing the color of iceland, and they think they know how many i icelanders were at the match. >> maybe 30. >> we us're used to being outnumbered. >> reporter: they label this as a friendly match, knowing how drastically they were

outnumbered in the stadium and it seems they were treated okay. >> actually, really good. everyone is super friendly. >> reporter: this was a warmup game, as the road to the world cup in russia came roaring through the south bay. at levi's stadium, damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. >> it's important to note, our sister station is the official spanish language station for the world cup. russia, by the way, is the host country. the first game kicks off on june 14th. let's check in with vianey arana now with a look at our weekend forecast. and we were just talking about you're not necessarily a soccer fan. but you are for mexico. >> i'm from mexico. i have to root for the mexican team. come on. >> your home country. >> i was really excited. i have been to a mexican versus portugal game at gillette stadium. so i have been to a big game. and i know boston -- >> oh, my gosh. so many connections. >> so we are expecting a couple of showers tonight. so thankfully that rain didn't really impact yesterday's game.

that futurecast had shown us a couple showers before the game even started. so it was all perfect for the tailgating fun. i was really jealous that damian trujillo got to cover that. right now look at the temperatures, 48 degrees for the peninsula. 47 for the south bay. it's cloudy out there. of 47 degrees in the tri valley. and, yeah, we had a couple showers move through thanks to a cold front. you could see we've still got a couple drops out there in the san francisco camera, we're still seeing some stuff going on in our radar in terms of precipitation. now, north bay, 40 degrees right now. east bay, 47. it is cool, but it is a little bit warmer at this hour than we were yesterday. so 24 hours ago, we were a couple degrees chillier. san jose's temperature trend into the afternoon. today's daytime highs will be rather comfortable. we're talking upper 50s, mid 50s for most spots. and we're going to keep that cloud cover in there, because come tonight, we've got another system making its way in. but let's show you stormranger right now. we do have it up and scanning in our parking lot. you can see we have a couple showers moving through san

francisco right now. half moon bay. but the majority is far off to the south and far off to the east. but if i show you doppler radar right now, you can see our next incoming system and if i zoom in just a little bit closer, you can see there goes that system. this system is going to move from north to south, headings off to the pacific right now. but the system is expected to bring some showers as we head in towards tonight, and also it's a colder storm, not as strong as what we saw this week. but it is a little bit colder which means the sierra is expecting more snow from this. so come tonight, look at this. we have 6 inches for twin bridges, kirkwood 5 inches of snow. kingvale, 9 inches of snow. so with this comes dangerous road conditions. so you have to slow down and keep it careful as you head out through tonight and into tomorrow morning, as well. the road conditions are not going to be the best. and definitely not going to be ideal. another thing we will notice heading into towards tonight and even right now, it's a little breezier, especially along the coast and higher elevation areas. we've got that low snow moving in tonight.

could drop as low as 2,500 feet. 51 degrees. our expected high for san francisco, showers continue through sunday early morning. but as of right now, futurecast is showing those showers tapering off nicely by the afternoon. so it will mainly be an impact that moves in tomorrow night or tomorrow early afternoon. as we head in towards monday, we dry out, 57 degrees, and we get a bit of a break from the rain, not just for san francisco, but also for inland areas, as well. and we welcome more sunshine, and finally some more seasonalable spring weather. we'll start getting more back into the spring pattern as we head in towards tuesday and wednesday. look at the 70s remain in the forecast as we head in towards tuesday. 75 degrees towards wednesday. and then we creep up towards the upper 70s as we head in towards thursday. and yes, those are 80s on the map. so get ready, because we are expecting to warm up. we've got to get through a couple more systems first before we see the return of official spring weather. kira? >> whoa. rain and 80s.

this should be an interesting week. yeah. vianey, thanks. it is just shy of 7:21. still ahead on "today in the bay," a bay area doctor diagnosed with cancer. instead of taking time to fight the disease, she's helping other cancer patients fight for their lives. her story next in this morning's "bay area proud." changes everyt

but for one peninsula doctor ... there is something it didn )t welcome back. it's a diagnosis that changes everything. but for one doctor, it is something it didn't change. her dedication to helping other patients. garvin thomas as more in this morning's "bay area proud." >> reporter: remarkable is a word that comes up a lot when talking about this doctor. a mother of three, she spent a career balancing cutting-edge cancer research while helping patients through their own breast cancer diagnosis. but ten years ago, she added another title. patient. and it's how she has dealt with that that may be the most remarkable thing yet.

>> the triplet, okay. >> reporter: there are few people anywhere on this earth who know more about cancer than dr. ellie gardina. she has devoted her life to studying the disease and healing those who have it. which is why when ellie says what you are about to hear, it carries extra meaning. >> i shouldn't be alive right now. i should -- you know, i shouldn't be. but based on the statistics, i more likely wouldn't be alive than would be alive after a year of having this diagnosis. >> reporter: but ellie's story is not just that she is still alive. ten years after her original diagnosis of melanoma and two years after a more ominous recurrence, it is what she has done with that time. you see, in 2008, when first diagnosed, ellie decided to step away from medicine. it was a decision that stood for

all of one day. >> not very long to figure out that that just didn't feel right. that god gave me a gift. and for me to throw away the ability to, you know, have -- have a benefit for others, and -- it just didn't feel right. >> reporter: in the decade since, through the surgeries and radiations, through the immuno therapy and chemotherapy, and all that comes with it, ellie has not stopped working. why? well, two reasons, she says. first, all the work, no matter how tiring, allows her to focus on something in her life other than her disease. >> i don't think there's a chance that doing this lessens my chance for survival. i think that this increases my chance of survival. >> reporter: and second, ellie says, her work and all the lives it might one day save is too important to stop for any

reason. >> i'm a fighter. i'm continuing to get up every morning and i feel that there is a lot to do. and, you know, i put the cancer aside as much as i can so that i can focus on what i want to do every day. >> reporter: and just one example of her dedication, that video you saw her testifying. that was in washington, d.c., in front of the fda in order to get approval for a breakthrough cancer drug. she flew all the way to washington in the middle of her own chemotherapy, administering it herself in her hotel room, because she felt testifying was so important. and they got approval for that drug. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> incredible. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, the search for answers. we have new information about the man at the center of that fiery crash at travis air force base. also, 50 years after the assassination of dr. martin luther king jr., a new documentary explores the connection between the civil

good saturday morning. it is 7:29. here's a live look outside. raindrops on the camera lens as we look at the transamerica pyramid in san francisco. luckily i'm not thinking enough to do some sort of raindrops on camera lenses and these are a few of my favorite things, anybody, crickets? >> if they're home watching that, they're bundled up. >> yeah, these are a few of my favorite things, coffee in hand, a blanket -- >> and candles. >> and candles. you do love candles. i'm kira klapper, thanks for joining us. vianey arana has a look at our microclimate forecast that hopefully includes some candles. >> it does. we are picking up a couple showers moving through right now, especially for the peninsula and san francisco picked up a couple showers. temperatures in the 40s right now. the san francisco camera, 47 degrees. a little breezy out there. east bay also in the 40s.

and it's a little chillier in the north bay at 40 degrees. our temperature trend does eventually show a climb into the 50s. but as we head towards the 1:00, 2:00 hour, we're going to start seeing an incoming system. and this is a different system. so we had a cold front sweep in last night. there is our current stormranger up and scanning. you can see it's picking up some showers moving through fran right now, the lens picking up raindrops through half moon bay, as well. a lot of the moisture from the original cold front that swept in last night far off south and east. but i'll give a time line, an hour by hour outlook of what you can expect with the next incoming system heading into tonight with the possibility of isolated thunderstorms, maybe even some hail. >> all right. that time line will be good, thanks. today hundreds of thousands of people across the country will march against gun violence. many of them will be students, including the high school students who spearheaded the effort in parkland, florida. at the same time, here in the bay area, students at a high school in san lorenzo were put

on lockdown because of a gun on their campus yesterday. "today in the bay" spoke with terrified students and parents. >> reporter: with just minutes left in the school day, some students were thinking about what they planned on doing this weekend. some were heading to local marches against gun violence. >> i think that march is very important. and, like, people that are going, because i might go. >> actually crazy how this happened just before the march. like, all the stuff going around in the world is not good. like, stop the gun violence. >> reporter: their school went on lockdown. a 15-year-old student brought a loaded gun to campus. other students alerted police. school resource officers figured out which classroom he was in and called in a tactical response team. >> they knew the student right off as they walked in. and they went in and detained him without incident. >> reporter: police say the gun was in a backpack the student never pointed it at anyone. he is now under arrest. two others were questioned about what they were all up to. this incident comes as the finishing touches are being

completed for the march for our lives event in washington, d.c., and across the country. here in the bay area, students will be marching in full force. san francisco high school freshman jason chen says he wants change. >> i want lawmakers to actually pass common sense gun reforms. this doesn't mean that they should arm teachers. this doesn't mean they should overlook it and stay stilt. and the march for our lives will have a strong presence across the bay area today. if you're heading to one of the many marches locally, we want to see your pictures and videos. send them to us at i see@nbcbayarea.com. we'll share them on air and across our digital platform. san mateo police need your help identifying a man who threatened a school shooting. witnesses say this man walked into a big five sporting goods and asked to buy a firearm. he told the employee he was going to shoot up a school. he even asked the employee for a good shirt to wear. san mateo police responded within minutes, but couldn't find him after an extensive

search. he is described as white, 35 years old, and could be a transient. he was last seen wearing a camouflage shirt and blue jeans. now to a new type of car accident involving electric cars. it has first responders re evaluating how they respond to deadly crash scenes. we have exclusive new video from a good samaritan. this was yesterday on highway 101. he tried to pull the victim to safety moments before the tesla burst into flames. the good samaritan tells us he and two other men worked to free the tesla driver from his smashed and smoking suv, but despite their heroic efforts, the tesla driver later died at the hospital. witnesses say shortly after the crash, it sounded like there was an explosion. >> we saw a big cloud of smoke. and then all of a sudden there was like a fireball like in the air. boom. >> the chp says the tesla model x hit the median on southbound 101 near 85 and mt. view.

it went airborne and smashed into two other cars. the chp thinks the car's battery may have been involved in the explosion. they're not trained to work with batteries like that so they called tesla for help. two arrived on scene before a tow truck to take away the rest of the vehicle. >> we're used to the regular vehicles. now that we have the batteries in the vehicles, we don't know what's in them so we're learning as we go. >> we reached out to tesla for comment but have not heard back. the crash and fire remain under investigation. a sheriff's deputy known for his extraordinary compassion and quirky sense of humor was honored yesterday at a memorial in marin. ryan zirkel died last week. his patrol car skidded off highway 1 near point ray station and hit a tree. he was just 24 years old and engaged to be married to his childhood sweetheart. his brother spoke at yesterday's memorial, saying he had always looked up to his brother, and the love he showed his family,

weekend with much less anxiety. president trump announced he signed a $1.3 trillion spending bill to fund the government just hours after threatening on twitter to veto it. the president's signoff came with a warning for congress. >> there are a lot of things that we shouldn't have had in this bill, but we were in a sense forced if we want to build our military, we were forced to have. there are some things we should have in the bill. but i say to congress, i will never sign another bill like this again. i'm not going to do it again. >>. >> trump blasted the bill as rushed and bloated with unnecessary domestic spending. but he said the billions included for defense were critical for national security. the bill funds the government through september. april 4th marks 50 years since the assassination of the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. it was a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement in an area when television news was also just starting to come of age.

a tiny cell in fremont. and as i mentioned, we've got a couple moving through the peninsula right now. san francisco just got a little pocket of rain, which is why that live camera was picking up those showers. and we've got a little bit of moisture sitting off the coast there. we've also got a couple of showers moving through the santa cruz mountains right now. so definitely seeing some very light rain, but enough to wet the roads out there. but this is our next system coming in. so the one that swept in last night was a cold front. now we have an additional system, and this is going to sweep from north to south. so you can see it sitting right up here near the medford area and right in front of this system, look at that moisture. so that's going to start creeping in through tonight, bringing up the possibility of some showers. but also expecting to see a colder storm from this. not as strong as what we saw earlier this week, but definitely a colder storm which means more snow for the sierra. you can actually see here on an hour by hour futurecast, there go the mountains there. and also a possibility of seeing some isolated hail and also even

some low snow elevation, which means 2,500 feet. let's take you through the time line. by 2:00, you see we've got some moisture sweeping in. but here it comes at about 4:30, 5:00, it's going to move from north to south so you can see it right here on the map, making its way through santa rosa, point reas. it stalls, and then becomes scattered showers into late tonight, early tomorrow morning. we'll still keep the chance of seeing a couple spotty showers. you can see i've taken the time line through 7:30. and we're still seeing some spotty showers in half moon bay, palo alto, san jose, morgan hill. so just keep that in mind as you head out tomorrow. here's what we can expect for the sierra up to 9 inches for kingvale, and the next seven days will be interesting. we go from 50s this weekend to 60s in san francisco, we're going to clear out and get a break from that rain. and then there it is, upper 70s and yes, even some 80s on the map. so we will start welcoming more

spring-like weather around here eventually. >> eventually. >> back to you, kira. >> the weather will plach tmatc calendar at some point this week, thanks. 7:38 on the nose. still ahead on "today in the bay." >> it has a lot of therapeutic value for seniors. >> we will tell about the new high-tech class helping seniors reach new heights in more ways than one.
