levin a group of strangers jumping into action. stopping a would be thief. witnesses say the suspect targeted a woman's pricey laptop, but he didn't get far. it happened at a popular middle eastern cafe and coffee shop in san francisco. as nbc

bay area's tom jensen tells us, it is a true demonstration that humanity is alive and well in the city by the bay. reporter it was an otherwise sunny and peaceful saturday outside the sanaa cafe near the san francisco museum of modern art. the serenity interrupted when this man walked past the cafe windows, where customers worked on laptops and then turned and went inside, targeting a female customer. the ladies, they screamed loud, so it was so scary. this employee asked us not to use her name or show her face as she describes what she witnessed. she says the man went to the back and quickly grabbed a woman's macbook before darting out the door. but watch what happens as he exits customers hot on his tracks, tackle him less than 100ft from the front door and hold him without hurting him until police arrived minutes later. it surprised me, but yeah, i'm so happy when they do that. and it wasn't just customers from inside the cafe that helped. there were patrons

outside here too, with their coffee and their smartphones in hand, and instead of stopping and taking video, they jumped up and helped a neighbor in need. a popular social media account at frisco live 415 posted video after customers jumped into action and the police response that followed. they talked to the first customer to reach the suspect. luckily within seconds, everyone ran outside, so i just, you know, told people to pick, you know, someone on one leg, someone on another leg and hold his arms as well, just so he could would stop trying to fight and hit me. and we can control him until the cops got here. and, you know, they seem to get here pretty quickly. it's very great seeing that, that people aren't just bystanders. in the meantime, customers at shanna cafe say it's refreshing to see people helping someone in need. the entirety of the community here just act on her behalf and, you know, stand up for her, it's very reassuring. and, you know, it's like you said, it ignites my faith in humanity. people

acting on it, and a lot of people acting on it. i think it says a lot about this community. we reached out to sfpd for more information, but a spokesperson said no details would be available until monday. in san francisco, tom jensen, nbc, bay area news. a new start for the city of oakland tonight. oakland's new police chief is getting ready for his first day on the job. chief floyd mitchell reports for duty tomorrow morning. his official start date was yesterday, but tomorrow is his first day at opd headquarters. this comes six weeks after mayor shengtao announced his hiring. since then, the mayor says that chief mitchell has been working with the interim chief, learning about the department, learning about the city. mitchell comes to the role after serving as chief of police in lubbock, texas. oakland had been without a police chief since former chief lauren armstrong was fired in february of last year. all right, did you see the smoke? the oakland fire department is now saying that this fire at the port of oakland was started by a lithium battery. the blaze sent black smoke, as you can see, up

over the bay, seen here from this video from citizen app. the fire started around three this afternoon and was out an hour later. no word on how that battery caught fire. a very sad update to a story we brought you last night at 11. the five year old child pulled from the water in contra costa county has died. this happened around 430 yesterday on bethel island. police got a call about a five year old who had fallen into the water to the back of a home. rescue crews pulled that child from the water about 15 minutes later. paramedics performed cpr and rushed the child to the hospital, where they later. he later died. no other details are being released at this time. well, close to 2000 people crowded white plaza at stanford university this afternoon, participating in dueling rallies. while tensions were high, things remained peaceful, but organizers of an interfaith rally, who are part of stanford's jewish student group, say they were forced to relocate midway through the rally due to an alleged safety concern. nbc bay area's emma gaugh spoke to students involved in both demonstrations. we have come to

respectfully ask stanford university to live up to its highest ideals, to create communities of love just yards away from the pro-palestinian encampment on white plaza, stanford's jewish student group, the hayim club, hosted what it called an interfaith rally against terror. this is a message of humanity, and it's a message of people coming together to stand against terror and to stand against hatred. we pride ourselves on the fact that it was an interfaith rally. in response to the planned rally, students at the encampment decided to host their own rally. one student told us, out of concern for their safety, taking into account what had happened at ucla and the violence that's been seen at other encampments. yeah, understanding that this encampment is not really physically protected or barricaded, i think it was kind of like a safety response. campus public safety officers stood between the dueling rallies. the encampment also had

at least 30 of its own safety marshals on hand. i was also safety marshaling. so i was reminding our own protesters and our own community members to not get physically involved with anyone, not get close to anyone, and just sort of keep the peace. more than an hour into the interfaith rally, the group abruptly relocated, walking to the stanford oval. organizers say campus security pressured them to leave due to unexplained safety concerns. the moment we got to white plaza and we started our speakers event and i started introducing, we all of a sudden got a lot of pushback and pressure from the stanford like security members. nbc bay area reached out to campus public safety but has not heard back. the interfaith rally continued smoothly, with speakers across hindu, zoroastrian, chinese, iranian and israeli communities calling for hamas to free the remaining hostages and calling for peace. it felt like the world hugged us. eventually, i we needed that hug. i think that we see so many times, the back

that we get as an israelis. but to see the hindus and the chinese are coming all together, and the iranian with the dueling rallies behind them, both pro-israel students on campus and students at the encampment, tell me there is interest in coming together for respectful dialog. people come to us in good faith. we'll return to them in good faith. we are open to conversations. and that's that's something that we want at stanford university. emma goss, nbc, bay area news. in los angeles, dozens of pro-palestinian protesters gathered outside the pomona college commencement ceremony. demonstrators chanted waved signs as guests arrived. now, last week, the college moved its graduation to shrine auditorium. that's nearly 40 miles away from its campus in claremont. the college made that move after protesters refused to take down their encampment as tensions remain high here in the u.s, israel has issued an urgent warning to palestinians to evacuate parts of rafah in southern gaza. battles are continuing across gaza, with the health ministry saying the death

toll has now topped 35,000 people. the israeli military says it was continuing what it calls precise operations in eastern rafah, ahead of a full scale invasion. u.s. officials have repeatedly warned against the move. secretary of state antony blinken was on nbc's meet the press this morning. is it fair to say that president biden and prime minister netanyahu are not seeing eye to eye right now? there are two things. one is that, as the president said and as we said in many conversations over the last couple of months, there has to be a credible plan for the civilians. have you seen a credible plan? we have not. second, there's something else that's important. we also haven't seen a plan for what happens the day after this war in gaza ends, because right now, the trajectory that israel is on is even if it goes in and takes heavy action in rafah, there will still be thousands of armed hamas left. you can, of course, catch more exclusive interviews on meet the press with kristen

welker. watch every sunday at eight right here on nbc. bay area east. outbound highway 37 in sonoma county has reopened early. part of that road was expected to be closed until five tomorrow morning for a repaving. it opened tonight about ten hours ahead of schedule. caltrans says that it will shut down the westbound lanes next weekend, so it can complete that repaving project. highway 37 reopening early. good news for the morning commute. obviously. join us weekdays starting at 5 a.m. on today in the bay. our mike inouye will break down what you need to know before you head out the door. all right, now to folks trying to make it in the bay. rents are up or down, depending on where you live. san francisco, san mateo and santa clara counties all saw average rent increases over the last year in the east bay, though alameda and contra costa counties actually saw a drop in prices. that is according to real estate data company costar. experts say it's being driven by prices in oakland, and apartment list says rent there has dipped more than 10% in the last year. and you might be asking yourself

why? experts say the decline is because there's an excess of market rate and luxury housing in the city. well, city leaders in half moon bay are feeling the pressure from the state this week. the governor says he wants the planning commission to stop delaying a 40 unit affordable housing project for farm workers. last week, he issued a warning pick up the face or face. legal consequences the planning commission is due to meet tuesday and may finally vote to move forward with the project. this comes after a deadly mass shooting at two farms last year, which put a spotlight on poor living conditions for farm workers. in response, the city proposed building a complex for senior farm workers but never approved it. newsom calls the delays egregious. it was a day to celebrate the reverend cecil williams, a longtime leader of san francisco's glide memorial church, was a champion of racial equality, lgbtq rights and the poor over the past 60 years, williams transformed glide into a center for civil rights activism, lgbt inclusivity,

service to the neighborhood today, the congregation celebrated his life and legacy with a special service nbc bay area sergio quintana was there. the first thing you need to know about this special service dedicated to reverend cecil williams is it is not a solemn memorial. this is a celebration. it's now been nearly three weeks since reverend williams passed away. he was 94. his daughter, kimberly williams, was with him. it was a bright, sunny morning. it was a fine day to take his freedom flight and liberate himself from the mortal vessel. he was full of joy and light that day. i want everyone to know he was radiant. cecil williams arrived at glide memorial church in 1963. through the decades, he led the church in civil rights actions, openly invited the lgbtq community into the congregation, and was an early aids health care advocate, and of course, was a steady supporter of the diverse residents of the tenderloin. but his efforts went beyond this

neighborhood and the city. at today's memorial, a delegation from all levels of government paid their respects, including a message from vice president kamala harris, which was delivered by reverend amos brown, leader of san francisco's third baptist church. i am grateful for his tireless efforts to uplift some of our nation's most vulnerable communities, along with the speeches were some tearful testimonials from people who say reverend williams saved their lives. people like baby resident rhonda york. i came from the tenderloin you know, and it's hard out here. but mr. williams made things better. just a little bit better. and ever since he told me that i was a child of god, i always believed that i'm. i'm clean and sober. 12 years today, and i give thanks to glide memorial in san francisco, sergio quintana nbc, bay area news. we are back in

60s. it is mother's day and these two are quite literally gold medal winning moms. you sit down with the olympic duo on their first mother's day. plus one east bay city is putting a stop to a controversial project aimed at cooling our warming planet and plan on some low clouds and drizzle part of that monday morning commute ahead of the coolest day of the week before temperatures climb back to summer-like levels midweek. theby

so much so that it can even exhaust, believe it or not, olympic athletes. yeah. this coming week, reigning beach volleyball gold medalist april ross and alix klineman returned to competition as new moms lopez from our sister station down in la, sits down with the a team to talk about returning to the sand and celebrating their first mother's day. i mean, it's we

visit right after nap time. ross is, six and a half months old. ross and theo full of squeaks and smiles. he's 11 months, almost a year, which is crazy. i feel like time is just like flown by olympic beach volleyball gold medalist april ross and alix klineman are celebrating their first mother's day. for me, being a mom is just changed everything. ross is in there and it's good. whereas before, like volleyball was so central to my life and like everything revolved around that. now being a mom, it's like, that's number one. but then it also makes me like prioritize other things too. and i feel like my life is just so much more balanced than it used to be. balanced but hectic, especially now. the reigning gold medalist from tokyo are back to competing. training began only a few months ago. like trying to come back now is like a mad rush. it's really hard to be a mom and a play, and

i was kind of like, okay, i think i might be done. and then april texted me and was like, do you want to play? and i was like, okay, well, if i'm going to play with anybody at this point, i had to take her to breakfast and like, sell her on it a little bit, a little breakfast and a lot of support from each other. we say, like before, we had to go to practice and now we get to go to practice. and i think it definitely like makes us appreciate being out there. it's our social time. it's like get out of the house time. it's like me time. it's all those things all in one klineman and she puts it away. their first tournament together in two years will be in their backyard at the avp huntington beach open later this month. they won this tournament in 2019. all of the top teams will be playing, which will be really fun because it's, you know, it's anyone who's local. it's their chance to see the top competition before they go to the olympics. so and the reigning gold medalist, it'll be our last, maybe one of our last tournaments as the reigning gold medalist. their competitive spirit still strong. but they also understand there's this reality. it's important we want

to do the best that we can. and when we get out there, like she said, like we're going to try to win and we probably won't be happy unless we win the tournament. but we also have to like kind of be a little bit realistic about what our, you know, expectations might be. they also want to prove they can still compete in beach volleyball, like so many mothers have done before them in theirs and other professional sports. obviously, i'm an older mom, but i love it and i feel like it was the right timing for me and now i can really dive into being a mom and not feel like i'm missing out on anything. i hope that, you know, after we do this, we make it just even a little bit easier for the next person that does it. and before they compete, there's mother's day. what are you most going to celebrate? i was thinking, it's cool. i'm going to get to celebrate it with my mom. and like, i just feel like she has always been in my corner helping me. and it's crazy that that's like the role that i'm going to,

you know, play for him. for me, i'm just like, i want to go get my nails done. oh, the little things. any mother can relate, even olympic medalist. oh very cool. the kids don't care if you're doing an interview. no, they got things to do. yeah, they got things to say and do. all right. the bay area celebrated mother's day in several different ways today in san francisco, one popular spot was a brunch hosted by the union square alliance at the beacon grand hotel. they mean to you it's celebrating my children. you know nothing better in burlingame, one florist told us. they've been in full action since tuesday, making deliveries across the bay area an east bay city has halted a controversial project aimed at cooling our warming planet. interesting stuff here. first told you about this last month. scientists with the university of washington's marine cloud brightening project were behind this experiment, happening on the deck of the uss hornet in alameda. they wanted to see if spraying salt water

into the air could brighten clouds and reflect more sunlight back into space. the idea to help combat global warming? well, alameda county leaders found out about this, and they told researchers to stop. knock it off now! it's because the potential effects on the environment are unclear. so city leaders are working with experts to get more information before for perhaps letting the experiment continue. well, summer's not quite here, but the fire danger is growing as temperatures rise. cal fire quickly knocked down a brush fire in lake county today. smoke could be seen on wildfire cameras. it burned about an eighth of an acre before crews knocked it down. fire cal fire says crews will be in the area tonight, making sure all hotspots are out. you know, just a few days ago it seems it was raining and there was no threat. but it's warming up and here we go. as summer said, we had extended winter. now summer. we just bypassed spring. it's like that. we had snow in the sierra two. pretty good weekend for weather around the bay area though you might have noticed the sea breeze turning stronger today. low clouds, some drizzle

possible on that monday morning commute. as we show you what we're expecting tomorrow. likely to be the coolest day of the workweek ahead as we have cloudy skies to start, then yet another midweek warm up. we seem to be in this pattern of midweek warm ups, weekend cool downs, so we will see a cooling trend as we head towards next weekend. but does it look like any rain or late season sierra snow in that 7-day forecast? right now, 58 degrees san jose. eventually the low clouds will fill in across the santa clara valley. 62, in walnut creek. and as you drop back over towards oakland, you see all the low clouds there at 53 degrees, the average high this time of year. upper 60s should get there by midweek. most of the warming that we'll see in that midweek forecast will be for inland valleys around the east bay and south bay, and into the drizzle again around san francisco. you got 51 degrees high, only near 60, and very likely in that same range as we head into tomorrow. so 50s across the board those 60s out towards walnut creek and concord and the wind still strong out of

the southwest known as that delta breeze. for our friends out in fairfield, marine air pushing through solano county and moving towards stockton and sacramento. but let's talk about our friend, the aurora. remember that last two nights it's been a big display, folks trying to see that. here's where we were on friday. these kp index levels of eight and nine. that's usually the threshold for us to see it here. then last night things started to drop off. so watch what's happening right now. they've come up a little bit, but the official forecast keeps it below that threshold in that seven range. so as we look at this aurora viewing outlook at a level seven most likely it's the pacific northwest that gets the views of the aurora tonight up on the northern horizon. this far south you really would need to see those levels coming up. nothing like we had on friday night into saturday morning. and maybe that's good news, because if you're out there trying to spot the aurora tonight, as we go through the rest of the nighttime hours, you can really see how those low clouds fill in towards the tri valley carquinez strait for the morning and then

clearing skies heading into the afternoon, which will set us up for a summer like spread of microclimates tomorrow. waking up to those low 50s around the bay area with some drizzle by lunchtime, 60s and 70s. and a look at those high temperatures tomorrow. mostly 70s inland and cool 60s bayside tuesday. the numbers start to come up tuesday, wednesday and thursday. now mid to maybe a few upper 80s well inland as high pressure strengthens for the middle part of the week, we will be staying dry and eventually slightly cooler as we approach next weekend, which is precisely what we saw this weekend. so san francisco climbing towards the upper 60s by midweek. inland valleys, a lot of 70s tomorrow. coolest day of the week. then we go into those mid 80s midweek and then back down again by next sunday. overall, very nice weather and good air quality as long as that sea breeze is ongoing. yeah, not that bad. i'm noticing my allergies have kind of subsided in the last day. the grass pollen is starting to come down as you start to see the hills dry out a little bit,

starting out nice. all right rob, thank you. well, still ahead are there possible shortage for a spicy flavor. this one has gia very upset. why sriracha could be hard to find on store shelves all summer long. stocking up

plans to temporarily halt sriracha production. huy fong foods says it's because its supply of jalapenos are too green to be usable. this isn't the first time sriracha supply has faltered. last year, a shortage caused prices to skyrocket. some bottles selling for as much as $100 on craigslist. people were trying to steal them from restaurants.

so raja production. is that a confession? not me, not me. so raja production is expected to restart after labor day. all right, well, a giant mother's day shout out at oracle park today. hey, mom, thanks for being my number one fan. thanks for always supporting me growing up. mom, you are beautiful. i miss you so much. hi mom. love you mommy day elmo. love you mom. enjoy mother's day. i'll miss you. hopefully. see you soon. yeah, they were one by one, exiting the locker room wishing mom a happy mother's day. coach alyssa nakken took part two, thanking her mom for all her wonderful home cooked meals and nacchan. by the way, celebrating her first mother's day as a mom herself, she gave birth in january. her husband posted this message on social media. happy mother's day to all the amazing mothers out there. napkins had a string of firsts over the past few years, including becoming the first full time female coach in major league history. all right, anthony flores, joining us now with the story of how the guys

but just a lot of contributions in different ways. today ended up being a good, good day as far as win loss, the a's in the pacific northwest to wrap up their series with the mariners. the m's jumping all over oakland early. julio rodriguez goes on a power trip that's a two run homer, and seattle takes a five. nothing lead. now the a's showing some fight and some muscle. max schumann a toro and brent rooker all went yard. but seattle also hit three home runs, so the mariners power their way past the a's 8 to 4 nba playoffs. nuggets and timberwolves game four of the western conference semifinal aaron gordon was balling. check the move and the finish. the pride of san jose dropped 27 points on 11 of 12 shooting from the floor and donnie edwards scored a game high 44 points for minnesota. but tonight, the nuggets were golden. denver takes game four 115 107. that series is tied at two two. grows

heritage, and that celebration is also understanding our history. so what's in a name? that is the question. generations of paper sons and paper daughters have asked. when discussing their identities and identity. they had to fake because of the chinese exclusion act. tonight two local families are sharing their stories with our janelle wang. this is home rose park station of muni for the t line. what more can a chinese family want? this is where my apartment building was. this was my view from our corner apartment. kindergarten was right down here. this is where we went to chinese school. a flood of memories overcome calvin chin as he shows us the places where he was born and raised in chinatown. we loved.

it. his parents came to san francisco from china during the chinese exclusion act. the history behind your family's journey to chinatown is remarkable. we grew up in an atmosphere, a climate where it was dangerous, so we had to grow up with a lot of hiding. i grew up with a phony name. i mean, paper name. chin is not my name. you know, my real name is yim. so who am i? am i a chin? am i a yim? the exclusion act made it nearly impossible for the chinese to immigrate to the u.s. many purchased fake papers, including chin's parents, to come to the u.s. like many immigrants to pursue the american dream. my dad was 14 when he first received the documentation to be a paper son. my mom arrived in 1939 and lands in angel island. my father was a paper son and my mom was a paper daughter paper sons or paper daughters are chinese immigrants who purchased papers from a chinese american citizen that citizen agreed to pretend to be the immigrant's blood relative.

1906 earthquake. the enterprising chinese saw the results of that earthquake was the destruction of all records. native families could sponsor paper sons and daughters with these paper names, which as a result they were created, fabricated in the absence of legal documentation. so when did you have to switch between names while you were growing up in chinatown? all of our legal documents we had to use chin in chinese school. our teachers would basically give us a sense of what the political climate was like. so if the climate was safe, we were informed that we could use our real names. so we would go through the school year. yim another year we would be told now not so good. so we would then revert back to our paper name. chin. so we grew up using both names in the 1960s under a u.s. amnesty program. chins father and mother gave up

their false citizenship in exchange for legal citizenship. my real chinese ma jun pang paul g. is also a paper son. he got his u.s. citizenship after serving in the army national guard. his paper name g. bo tang. my paper for us. my uncle documents show his uncle or paper father was g wincing at 15 years old, paul left his small village in china in search of a better life. all the area are rice field. we moved to hong kong after the communists came. why did you decide to come to america? opportunity. make something to eat. opportunity and make some money. g was sent to the immigration detention center at 630 sansom street in san francisco. after a month of interviews with immigration officers in detention, g story matched up with his uncles. he was released, went to kansas to work and be with his family.

later, g would meet his wife in college. they moved to san francisco to start a family. so i always just grew up like, okay, dad has a different name from his siblings, their ma or ma, and he's g. stephanie g works for a nonprofit and volunteers with her church supporting refugees and immigrants coming through another name. and that's the only option you have for survival. then that's what you do. and then that makes me think about, like all the immigrants and refugees today do embrace being chinese differently than you did growing up. definitely. it's something you don't want lost, especially in later generations here in the us with, you know, we are chinese americans, but we are also perpetual foreigners. and i don't want people to forget where we're from to. know more about where she's from, g traveled back to her father's village. i think that makes me appreciate a lot more about our culture, the history, and just i want that story to keep on living. that's why her father, now 86 years old, retired from

ucsf and is living the american dream. he is the first chinese american vintner in northern california, recognized by both napa and sonoma counties. he and chin share stories now about their family's journeys. chin worked more than 50 years as a minister and marched in selma with doctor martin luther king jr. it was one of the significant contributing factors to my journey and my path as a minister. what do you think is the most important message for people who don't know this history about the chinese exclusion act paper? sons and paper daughters? on one level, i could say, well, what it means to be chinese when you're successful, when you succeed, when you do well, you bring a joy and happiness and pride to everyone else in the family. so it's that sense of responsibility for a community that's beyond yourself. it's larger than who you are. pretty remarkable stories. that was our janelle wang reporting in 2011 and 2012. both the senate and

house unanimously passed resolutions expressing regret of past discriminatory laws that impacted the chinese community in america, including the chinese exclusion act. actor steve buscemi is recovering tonight after a random attack in new york city. this happened wednesday. police say the 66 year old walking down the street got punched in the face. this is in manhattan, buscemi was treated for bruising, swelling and blood in his left eye. no arrests have been made. police did release a photo of the suspect in hopes of tracking him down. there he is. in a statement, buscemi said he's okay and appreciates everyone's well wishes. now you saw that face. can you play some? he appeared in movies like fargo, the big lebowski, reservoir dogs. he also had a recurring role in the tv shows the sopranos and 30 rock. well, the star witness and former president trump's hush money trial set to take the stand tomorrow. many legal experts say this case will turn on the testimony of michael cohen.

nbc's dasha burns reports. just hours from now, former president trump set to face off in the courtroom with his fixer turned foe michael cohen. cohen paid adult film actress stormy daniels $130,000 as part of an alleged catch and kill plot to prevent her story of sex with mr. trump from getting out before the 2016 election and he's the key witness who could potentially tie the alleged scheme to the former president and link him to the crime of falsifying business records. when he repaid cohen that money, mr. trump denies the relationship and pled not guilty. his team, now looking to undermine cohen's credibility using his own criminal past and history of lying under oath. nbc news has learned that prosecutors have been working with cohen and preparing for his testimony for an entire year, and his time on the stand is expected to last several days. cohen unleashing on his old boss in his book and on social media, spotted online this week wearing

a t shirt depicting mr. trump behind bars. this case is a sham, the former president railed against the trial at a jersey shore rally last night. al capone was so mean that if you went to dinner with him, he didn't like you. you'd be dead the next morning and i got indicted more than him on. his attacks, getting personal. the gloves are off. mocking the weight of the district attorney who brought the case, and escalating his attacks on president biden. he's a moron. i would have never talked with that kind of disrespect for president. this weekend. biden and trump, both on the trail with president biden slamming mr. trump in a closed door fundraiser, saying he's obsessed with losing in 2020 and calling him clearly unhinged. as dasha burns reporting. now, the prosecution says it could rest its case as soon as the end of this week. then the big question, of course, is whether the defense will call former president trump himself to the

makers is over one of the films being shown at campus is about the almost lost story of george li. an audience at the roxy theater in the mission got to hear the story of li, a pioneering asian dancer who had a featured role in george balanchine's the nutcracker. now, lee's story was mostly unknown until director jennifer lin found his photos in the archive of the new york public library before for the performing arts, she tracked him down in las vegas. the then 88 year old had been a blackjack dealer for decades. by the way, he still works there. wow lin worked with bay area based john zuma beach wright to bring the documentary to the screen, as they discovered his incredible back story as a son of polish and chinese parents, a prodigy who danced in shanghai nightclubs for rice, a refugee in the philippines before starting his 25 year career as a dancer, he got rave reviews from the critics, from his fellow

dancers. they said he could do things that nobody else could do, that he could jump higher, that his technique was absolutely incredible. all right, ten times better than the rest. and that's actually what the film is called, because lee says that's what his mother told him before he came to the u.s, he needed to be ten times better. the crowning achievement? there he goes and becomes a blackjack dealer, right? for 40 plus years, 40 plus years, and he's still doing it in vegas. and what a story he has to tell. all right, rob mayeda, we've got, a nice dry spell anyway. yes, we did. and you know, the weekend that started with some summer-like temperatures and sights of the aurora around northern california. well that's faded a little bit. let's rewind back to how things were friday night on into saturday morning. as we look back at the, the hours leading into the weekend. this was the view in danville. you had all those colors around the bay area if you had a timed exposure on your iphone or android phone or camera, keep in

mind that's where we were friday night. anytime that kp index gets up above 8 to 9, you get aurora viewing chances in the bay area. very rare. really haven't seen levels that strong since 2003. then last night there's a lot of folks tried to head out to the hills again. things really did drop off, even though they have rebounded a little bit tonight. that is still well below the threshold of what we had on friday. so the latest forecast for tonight keeps it in this g three strong rating. but below the four and five which is where we were friday night. not going to get there tonight. so you can see here the aurora outlook based on those levels keeps the best viewing for now in the pacific northwest. but stay tuned. we might have one more 24 hour opportunity to see that drop a little bit farther south, so stay tuned to the monday night forecast. now we're fortunate. it's not like it was friday night because the low clouds had blocked the view. look how much this fills in as we head towards tomorrow morning. areas of drizzle, especially around the

peninsula, even along the inner portions of the east bay for the morning, back into sunshine for the afternoon tomorrow. so we'll begin with numbers in the low to mid 50s and a slightly stronger sea breeze. like we saw today, will ensure that daytime highs stay in the upper 70 around san jose. even the tri-valley and concord running a little bit cooler. we were in the 80s today, 70s tomorrow and around san francisco and oakland. highs staying in the 60s now for midweek, at least for inland areas, temperatures will start to climb up. we're looking at upper 60s and low 70s for bayside locations. mid to upper 80s possible out towards the inner east bay, san jose back into the 80s by thursday, and it very much looks like these temperatures are going to stay there for midweek cooling as we head into the weekend. now, this time of year, other than that drizzle storm you're looking at there in san francisco, rain chances per day really do start to drop off. this is typical for this time of year as high pressure starts to build into the region. storm track staying off to the north so dry weather will continue as we head through the end of the week though. kind of like we had this weekend.

likely to see a little bit of cooling midway through next weekend, so some drizzle and low clouds. watch out for that for the morning commute. slightly warmer san francisco wednesday and thursday look to be the warmest days of the week for the coast and our valleys. nice and comfortable. no 90s like we had the previous week may have gotten a little too hot, too fast, considering how cool the spring has been so far, that's a pretty comfortable range for temperatures as we approach next weekend. very nice. lot of sunshine. rob. thanks very much. okay, first she went viral on tiktok. now a san jose mom has made her way to the kelly clarkson show. we have a preview ahead

gutierrez was just a few credits shy from graduating arizona state university, but the administration kicked him out for leading student protests on campus. his life wasn't stopped by not having a degree, though. gutierrez went on to serve as an

arizona state senator and president of the maricopa college board, among other titles, and in 1999, asu even recognized him with an honorary doctoral degree. but that wasn't enough. gutierrez returned to finish his degree last year. i've accomplished something i've wanted to for a number of years, something that, you know is in the back of my mind and nagging at me for almost 60 years now. he's a sun devil and he did it. gutierrez says he wants people to know it is never too late to pursue their dreams. fantastic, mr. gutierrez. all right, rob, marietta, start us off that workweek with some sunshine. the afternoon sunshine at some point got some drizzle and some low clouds, even across the east bay valleys for the morning. highs 60s and 70s. you're looking at what will likely be the coolest day of the week. and there you see the warm up inland midweek, mid 80s and pretty pleasant trending a little cooler as we head towards next weekend. all right, rob, thanks very much and thanks for joining us. have a
