3:02 pm
for a first-time teacher, the union want better classroom conditions, mental health services, homeless housing and reparations for black students, but teachers we spoke with say it feels like the district is spinning its wheels in the negotiations. >> the biggest holdups we found out last night is the fact the school board has not given the district full authority to actually bargain. what have we been doing for seven months? it doesn't make any sense. >> the union says they will not come back to the table until the district agrees to negotiate all of those topics, but the district says they want to focus on teacher salaries and they cannot afford the rest of oea's demands. >> oea's vision of the common good is about us, the district, attempting to singularly solve complex societal realities, such as homelessness, that go far beyond the scope of what public schools can and should do alone. >> that was the superintendent at a news conference yesterday. we've reached out multiple times today to see where things

3:05 pm
>> let's talk about housing, homelessness, reparations. are those items people are talking about outside of the scope of what is possible here? >> those are commitments that we understand involve the community and involve partnerships with the city of oakland. we're absolutely committed to furthering those commitments to support all of our students and supporting the community. >> why not picket the city of oakland instead if they're the ones in power to grant those specific demands? >> we would love to work in partnership with the city of oakland to push those things forward. >> we appreciate you joining us this afternoon. we know it's been a very busy day for you. our news team remains to digging in and finding answers with you, tim douglas with the oea bargaining team. other headlines today, california could soon have a new tool to help solve the opioid crisis. state and city leaders in san francisco today announced a new bill. if you're

here was one of his 16 assists to thompson who had it going from deep. klay told us he would have an answer for his game one struggles, later another three in transition. he had eight of 11, scored 30 in 31 minutes. warriors led by 11 at the half and they expanded it to about jamychal green, six postseason minutes so far, came up big with his defense and spacing. he was a threat from deal, tied a career playoff high with 15. golden state ran away with it, ran downhill in the second half after a scramble. here's curry off balance three, through two defenders. even his dad couldn't believe it. warriors outscored the lakers 84-47 in the second and third quarters and rolled 127-100 and tied this series at one game apiece. game three in l.a. saturday. >> we played with more force on both sides of the ball. the ball didn't stick. we moved the ball and got everybody involved

3:15 pm
close it out in five games. warriors! >> reporter: with this win the greensteins will be able to look back on this day with fond memories. >> that would be the one thing that could really allow to us start our life together in total happiness. there's been a lot of star power coming out to watch the nba playoffs. look at. that last ght at chase center a-rod was there along with nine-time nba all-star gary payton sr. payton is an oakland native and former laker. look at this video tweet from knbr. after the game klay thompson said, "saying hello to the 49ers george kittle, sam darnold and christian mccaffery." oakland native zendaya and tom holland came out to watch. also at the game, danny devito wearing a cap that
3:16 pm
said "game seven" even though it was only game two. maybe he's teasing something, a brand, game seven? i don't know, danny. welcome to seeing us win. time for a look at our forecast with first alert meteorologist darren peck. darren, we need to get you a hat now, my friend. >> i know. let's have it say game five because that's all this is going. >> right. they called it for the greensteins, keep their marriage together. >> let's start getting game five hats and hopefully they don't have to be updated. let's look where it's raining. it's coming back now. there's a lot up here on the far northwest coast. closer inspection shows us there are showers right off our coast. this doesn't appear to be the kind of system that's going to be able to develop the isolated thunderstorms like we were seeing over the last couple days, but we are going to get some light rain and it's mainly in the north bay. showers rotate onshore and that gets us into the 6:00, 7:00
3:17 pm
hour, some rain up in sonoma county. then we'll see more march across the bay this evening. that gets us into the early morning hours tomorrow. we're seeing rain across the center of the bay, over the east bayshore into the tri-valley and then it peters out through tomorrow. bottom line, there's going to be some scattered showers through the remainder of tonight and very early tomorrow morning and for saturday we'll get a break. you'll see plenty of blue sky. the rainfall totals from now through tomorrow morning, we could pick up perhaps a quarter inch of rain in the north bay and maybe close to those totals farther south. there won't be a lot of time when you're getting rained on. we've done this drill the past few days. there's more time you're not getting rained out and seemingly out of nowhere a shower comes over and you get a good little rain and then it's done. if you're planning on going to the game tonight, the giants game, where we do have to be concerned about the
3:18 pm
weather, you might get a light shower. first pitch is at 7:15. the games go kind of fast nowadays, but there's still a chance of a light shower. there's another foot of snow coming to the sierra from this at least at the higher elevation. there will be enough snow on donner pass tonight through tomorrow morning. plan on snow if you're going friday travel through the mountains. that will slow down the drive. you might need chains for a time up there. looking back out towards sutro, 58 in the s, 63 degrees in san jose and daytime highs tomorrow where you will get more blue sky than today, you'll be in the low to mid-60s, nice looking day. then there's another system that's going to try and bring us another chance of rain. just mondaylet's play that d back. sunday afternoon there it is. play it forward and the very southern tail edge of it tries to bring some more light
3:19 pm
rain into the north bay most likely on monday. if you look at the seven-day forecast, there's a smattering of rain at times, san francisco, oakland. look at the warm-up after that. upper 70s and low to mid-80s for the north bay valleys. thursday and friday it's going to be sunny and warm next week, but before then a chance of rain very early saturday morning and again in the north bay and along the coast for monday. that's about it. back to you. >> thank you. still ahead, we introduce you to a different kind of investor not into tech. instead she's focused on the future of the ocean. remember we want to be there for you anytime anywhere. streaming service is available for you cbs news bay area where you can catch our live broadcasts plus news and weather updates throughout the day. find us on the free cbs news app or o
