that is unique and that is a specialty. with all of us working together we can keep all these emergencies small. and the fact that we can bring it together and effectively work together is pretty special. they bring their knowledge, their tools and equipment and the proficiency to get the job done. and the whole time i have been in the fire service, pg&e's been there, too. whatever we need whenever we need it. i do count on pg&e to keep our firefighters safe. that's why we ask for their help. luding many of us here at nbc bay area ... worked side-by- side today in a massive comcast cares, hundreds of volunteers, including many of us here at nbc bay area, worked side-by-side aimed at making

concern of the week. tree pollen for oak and pine is moderate. grass pollen is moderate. besides that, that's really the only showers in the forecast. pollen and grass pollen moving around the bay area thanks to these winds. we'll see the same thing tomorrow. 40s and 50s for tomorrow morning. high temperatures as we go through the day tomorrow. probably some of the warmest spots right around 3:00 in the afternoon for the bay will be in the low to mid 70s. many areas will be 10 to 15 degrees above average. records this time of year would be in the low to mid 90s. i don't think we'll get there tomorrow. look at that. san jose near 82 degrees. 70 in san francisco and 73 in oakland. in the futurecast no clouds out there because high pressure holding strong for the first half of the forecast. in the second half of the

forecast, it may turn interesting. this time of year we get these cutoff lows that detach themselves from the jet stream and when that happens there's no steering current to push them along. until later next week this area of low pressure may have enough moisture by next friday and saturday a chance of showers, at least cooler temperatures for the second half of the week. the end of the weekend, much like today. more summer-like temperatures for tomorrow and then trending cooler with the chance of maybe some north bay showers as we head towards the end of next week and for our valleys that means 80s through monday and maybe tuesday. then the cooling trend, we're only talking 70. that's not a big cooldown, but a chance of seeing a few showers late next week, but tomorrow like today will be picture perfect for your outdoor plans whether you're helping in the community or enjoying a walk

around the park or the beach tomorrow. >> thank you for sharing that picture of the twins. >> happy to. >> thank you. still ahead, switching out football for corsages. ♪ ♪ ♪ raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens ♪ ♪ bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens ♪ ♪ brown paper packages tied up with strings ♪

tumor to a pediatric doctor at stanford university school of medicine. it is why just hours after jennifer's death we were in the doctor's lab witnessing the first steps in an ultimately successful attempt to create stem cells from jennifer 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. >> but to use that tool takes money and this is where libby and tony come back in the picture. after jennifer's death they started a foundation, unravelled, funding pediatric research, but not in a traditional way. so when a graduate student in the doctor's lab devised an experiment using targeted

therapy against dipg implanted in mice, an experiment using cells from jennifer's tumor, her mom and dad were once again involved. >> we had this great idea for an expensive set of experiments to test this and libby showed up with a check and said do something good with it. >> they did and the results were striking. looking for a signal that cancer cells remained after treatment, they couldn't find one. >> no cells. that was the moment. it was a moment that you don't believe. >> the tumor is eradicated and i haven't seen anything work that well for this tumor. >> for libby the news is bittersweet. it comes four years too late for her jennifer, but one day soon it might come just in time for someone else's child. while the tumors were largely

eradicated some cancer cells did remain. they hope that maybe some traditional treatment could help completely remove the cancer. they believe they will move into a human trial in 2019. nbc bay area news. >> just remarkable. helping immigrants become u.s. citizens, volunteers came out to support one of the largest immigration assistance events in the south bay. booths were set up to help thousands of eligible immigrants apply for citizenship. volunteers provided help. translators for 14 different languages were there. all services were free of charge. >> it's important to do this because we need to invite the community to be able to fully participate in our society and the only way you can really fully participant in our society is by having the right to vote. >> this is the 28th year for the event. last year they helped more than
