traffic. mark tamayo is in for steve. it sounds like we probably won't need a jacket or a -- we probably will need a jacket or a sweater. >> get ready. temperatures will be warming up quickly out there. take a look at the readings from yesterday. a lot of 60s but today everybody back up, at least most of the bay area back up in the 70s approaching 80 degrees. live stormtracker2, we're looking for the storms but nothing is showing up. in fact, we have clear skies across the entire state. you can see some of the cool numbers. it's 44 degrees in concord right now. santa rosa checking in 44. santa rosa, 54. also some gusty winds, fairfields. this observation has backed off a little bit. but a gust at 21 miles an hour. that's napa sustainled at 15, gusting to 23 miles an hour. more reports for you.

look good driving through there. we'll looking at the east bay commutes. we did have a couple of things. we had a problem westbound 580 at airway on the shoulder. a noninjury accident. you can tell. it's better than usual from livermore to dublin. some people still have spring break. some people had it last week, some people have it this week. southbound 880 from 238 as you drive down to fremont, we have stop-and-go traffic. san mateo traffic is getting busy to san mateo and the peninsula. let's go back to the desk. happening now, workers from coast to coast are rallying and demanding higher wages. they stay they cannot live on what they make. dozens of demonstrators are protesting at a mcdonald's in san francisco's mission district. tara moriarty joins us from the restaurant where demonstrators just went outside after protesting inside for nearly an hour. tara? >> reporter: that's right. protesters stormed through the front doors of this mcdonald's here on 24th and mission around

6:10 this morning. right now, they are outside. you can see they are actually singing and they will be taking a group photo. there's about 100 people here. they were marching on the inside, blowing whistles, chanting. they say most fast-food workers don't make enough money it sour vive -- to survive. they are pushing for $15 an hour. >> $15! >> reporter: this is one of 240 protests nationwide. they've also staged protests in tokyo and new zealand. protesters are not only fast forward workers but walmart workers, home care provider. the international president is here. supervisors eric mauer and john avilaws are here.

>> what should be a living wage all across the land $15, we can make improvements in people's lives! >> reporter: mcdonald's did recently raise its wages by $1. but protesters say that was a publicity stunt that selected stores. we should mention here in san francisco. voters recently approved a wage hike to $15 over the hours of three years. but in oakland, the rate is $12.25 an hour. in san jose, it's $10.30 an hour. now, mcdonald's did not kick out the protesters. they were fine with the demonstration as long as it didn't affect customers. police are here. there are a dozen officers standing by in case there is a problem. coming up, you will hear from one worker fighting for 15 and why she says living in the bay area is virtually impossible making less than $30,000 a year. i'm tara moriarty, back to you. >> can you imagine what a challenge that would be?

thank you. it's a mystery on a beach in pacifica. a dead whale almost 50 feet long washed up there yesterday. it is still on that beach this morning near morey point. alex savidge is there in pacific qau to -- in pacifica to tell us all of the questions about the dead whale. >> reporter: good morning. that whale is sitting at the south end of shark park beach here in pacifica. i can assure you that getting to where it is no easy task. my photographer and i had to hike about three quarters of a mile down a dirt trail to get a closer look at it. let me show you the video. here's what we saw. the video is dark. you can probably make out the decomposing carcass of a nearly 50-foot long sperm whale which washed ashore sometime yesterday. there was no foul odor in the air near the whale but you could see blood in the water nearby. later on today, researchers

from the marine mammal center in sausalito will be out here to come and take a closer look at the whale and they will be performing a necropsy to figure out how the mammal died. now, bear in mind, this time of year, whales do tend to migrate close to the san francisco bay as they head north to feed in arctic waters near alaska. there is a warning that's been put out for boaters to keep an eye out for migrating whales and steer clear of them. as for the whale found dead here yesterday, researchers will be coming down to take a closer look. try to figure out how it died and there's the broader question of what do you do with this carcass? how do you get rid of it? there's thoughts about towing it back out to sea but there's other ways to dispose of it. >> wow. what a story. alex savidge in pacifica. thank you. 7:08. happening today, the last of the sea birds found in the bay coated with that mysterious

goo, it will be released back into the wild. since january, rescuers have cared for more than 300 birds at the international bird center in fairfield. about 11:30 morning, the last one will be set free in sausalito. the source of all of that sticky goo still a mystery. the it bird rescue center has spent $150,000 caring for the bird and they welcome any donations. also happening today the contra costa water district will consider mandatory 25% water cuts. this follows yesterday's decision by east bay m.u.d. to have customers pay more while using less water. effective july 1st, east bay mudd customers will pay a drought surcharge, meaning the average bill will go up by $12. customers will also have to further cut water use from the current 15% to 20%. anyone who uses more than $984

a day will face higher rates and fines. >> we're hoping for a very wet winter next year but we're planning for the worse. every gallon of water saved this year will put us in better shape if next year is another dry year. >> the contra costa water district is considering temporary drought water rates. the rate would increase the charge for each 748 gallons of treated water by 50 cents. running a typical sprinkler for an hour uses about 1,000 gallons of water. in a new report, a legislative analyst says for the time being, the drought does not pose a significant threat to the state's economy. the report also says even a substantial decline in agriculture would have a limited impact on the state. california farmers produce much of the country's crops but only account for 2% of the state's gross domestic product. today, the city of boston

marks the second anniversary of the boston marathon bombing. the city will mark a moment of silence at 2:49 this afternoon boston time. that was when the first of two bombs went off at the finish line of the marathon. church bells will ring all over the city. three people were killed in the bombing. more than 260 others were hurt. the mayor declared today one boston day to celebrate the city's resilience. it's meant to bring the community together and also encourage people to give back. 7:11. it's a situation most of us hope we never have to face. >> burst in flames. i was like we gotta get this gray out of here. how two self-described regular guys put their own lives on the line to help a complete stranger. and police officers in trouble for letting this girl accused of underaged drinking out of a ticket over a game of
