7:11 am
elmwood cafe crowded with people wondering why the popular eatery is suddenly closed. >> i'm just so sad to see this. >> reporter: the closure surprises some but not others. >> i personally think that the closure has everything to do with the call of this establishment being racist. >> reporter: a label she says the cafe got three years ago when comedian w. kamau bell was confronted with a situation involving race. the story that went viral claims bell's wife was sitting outside the cafe. an employee, thinking he was harassing her, told him to move along. his wife is white. bell is black. >> i know everyone feels so, so sad, including myself, heartbroken that w. kamau bell had that experience. >> reporter: an experience the owner acknowledges was wrong. bell is writing about the 2015 incident after he saw the arrest of two black men at a starbucks in philadelphia. >> i'm not sure what the problem is. it's confusing.

furry little insects are falling from trees right on to people. we spoke with one man who was just trying to relax when he got covered in caterpillars. >> to read in the shade. and got a whole bunch of cat caterpillars everywhere. thousands of them. >> look at his back. wildlife officials say the increase is due to the milder climate. the city says the caterpillars are disappearing quickly now because of some treatments to keep them at bay. now to a live look for you as the sun shines on 101 in san jose. this is one of the many local roadways littered with trash. so the state of california is now doing something about it. caltrans says it plans to clean up santa clara county freeways. workers will clear garbage and do more vegetation control on 101, on 280, on 237, and on 85.
7:18 am
gosh, that makes you sad looking at that. well, let's check in now with vianey arana with a look at our weekend forecast. nothing to be sad about here. >> a good one. expected to be very sunny for your saturday, so if you have any outdoor plans, parties, walks, hikes, today's going to be absolutely perfect for them. peninsula right now at 50 degrees, tri-valley 45, south bay 49. you can see the sun right off the corner in the south bay, and look at san francisco. nice, clear, beautiful skies at 49 degrees right now, north bay, 44. in the east bay, at 48 degrees. now, we do have a little bit of a change on the way, but it's all a positive change. that's because we're expecting a warm-up, nice warm temperatures into the afternoon. so let's talk about that fog and 24-hour temperature change. we're seeing a couple of spots with hazy skies, san francisco, just some patchy fog in certain spots but overall nice and clear. about one degree warmer in san jose at this hour. so not seeing a huge difference in the 24-hour temperature
7:19 am
change right now but as we head into the afternoon right now, doppler radar showing clear conditions. we've got this ridge of high pressure that's going to keep us dry and a little bit warmer for today. so let's talk about your daytime highs throughout the bay area. your 80s are forecasted for the south bay. take a look at this. san jose, 81 degrees. cupertino, 80 degrees, milpitas, 70 degrees, talk about a teaser to the summer around here. oakland, 72, walnut creek 82, danville, 83 and even along the peninsula, even though the breezy conditions will kick up into the afternoon, overall, the temperatures will be rather comfortable, 63 degrees for daly city and check out san francisco. some spots hitting mid 60s along the marina but take a look at mission. 70 degrees in san francisco today. you can see the winds right now coming up from the west at about 16 miles per hour. so not too bad out there. that nice breeze will help kind of ease some of those warmer
7:20 am
temperatures. now, the north bay, 78 degrees for santa rosa, sonoma at 77, novato 79. so, perfect day to go hiking. now, if you had expected to kind of go after 10:00 a.m., i would say go before that. because it's going to warm up and it's going to warm up quickly. we started off in the 40s in those spots. now we're already starting to see the 50s and by 10:00 a.m., 61 degrees, sunny conditions quickly warming into the 70s by 2:00 and then by 6:00, we'll stay in the 70s, not cooling down by much but we will start to notice the winds kicking up just a bit, especially along the coast. for the next seven days, a look at what you can expect, we're going to keep that ridge of high pressure dominating the forecast even through your sunday but if you notice, the temperatures drop just a bit. the reason for that is we've got this weak system that's going to drop in but it's very weak so it's not going to make a huge difference in our temperatures. that is until we hit tuesday into wednesday, heading in towards thursday and friday, we'll see that drop in
7:21 am
temperatures but overall, look what's ahead. we're talking 82 on sunday, 84 for monday, and then even into tuesday, still in those 80s with no rain in sight. so if you haven't already done so, wash your vehicle. you need to do it now while you can. i know i still have to go wash my car. back to you. >> i've had to wash mine for like six months. >> ditto. >> thanks. it is 7:21. still ahead on "today in the bay," a bay area family plays a significant role in a medical breakthrough. it's a story we've been following for years. and the update will make you "bay area proud." the fight agai

7:24 am
years in our "bay area proud" series. garvin thomas joins us with an important and uplifting update. >> like many people i think of research in the medical lab as an anonymous process, the specimen researchers work on just numbers or codes but of course they're not. they are people. and important ones at that. like one little 6-year-old girl. we first met 6-year-old jennifer lynn in 2014. in what would be the final days of her life. dipg, an untreatable and incurable brain tumor was about to take her from her mother and father, libby and tony. but thanks to difficult decisions they made in those days, and since, we can now report that while jennifer lost her battle with dipg, she is still not done fighting. >> so proud, because i know this is what she would want. i know she would want to help
7:25 am
other kids. >> reporter: that first decision was to arrange donation of jennifer's tumor to dr. michelle, a pediatric neural oncologist and researcher at stanford university school of medicine. it is why just hours after jennifer's death, we were in the lab, witnessing the first steps in an ultimately successful attempt to create stem cell lines from jennifer's tumor. adding a glimmer of hope in the treatment of a disease that hadn't seen a meaningful advance in the past 50 years. >> jennifer's donation gave us a tool that we didn't have. >> reporter: but to use that tool takes money. and this is where libby and tony come back into the picture. >> and then i just talk about, like, why. >> reporter: after jennifer's death, they started a foundation, unravel, funding pediatric cancer research but not in a traditional way.
7:26 am
and so when christopher, a graduate student in the lab, devised an experiment using targeted immunotherapy against dipg implanted in mice, an experiment using cells derived from jennifer's very own tumor, her mom and dad were once again involved. >> we had this great idea for an expensive set of experiments to really test this, and then libby showed up and said, you know, here's a check. why don't you do something good with it. >> reporter: so they did. and the results were striking. looking for a signal that cancer cells remained after treatment, chris couldn't find one. >> no signal. that was the moment. and it was, you know, a moment where you just sort of -- you don't believe it, really. >> the tumors were largely eradicated and i haven't seen anything work that well for this tumor. >> reporter: for libby, the news is understandably bittersweet. it comes four years too late for her jennifer, but one day soon,
7:27 am
might come just in time for someone else's child. while the tumors were largely eradicated, some cancer cells did remain, so they hope that maybe some traditional treatment could help completely remove the cancer. they believe they will move into a human trial in 2019. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. at 7:27, we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, the motive that could be behind why north korea shut down their missile program. also, an international smuggling ring busted. why thieves are stealing plants from the bay area and sending them across the ocean to asia.
