5:04 pm
wore on, at times shouting at each other from a foot or two away in the bay area, protesters against the war in gaza are spending a fourth night camping at stanford. the students have set up an encampment made up of 18 tents at white plaza. the group is calling on the university to separate itself from any companies or organizations advancing military efforts in the israel-hamas war. protesters tell us that stanford has handed out letters saying that if they continue to camp out, they may be suspended, but they say it's a risk they are willing to take. goal is sharing political education. the goal is trying to reach as many people as possible and also just showing solidarity with the people in gaza. so i think the goal is just try and stay here as long as possible, and, you know, at least until stanford tries to meet some of our demands. so the demonstrations started during at midweek at stanford, when high school students and their families visit that campus. now, cal poly, humboldt is now enforcing a hard closure on campus following the week long pro palestinian protest. yesterday, the university released an email
5:05 pm

5:06 pm
comes as world central kitchen says it will resume humanitarian operations in gaza starting tomorrow. this follows the death of seven aid workers killed by israeli airstrikes earlier this month. world central kitchen says it has more than 200 trucks carrying enough supplies for about 8 million meals, and they're ready to enter gaza through the rafah crossing. and from jordan. the aid organization founded by chef jose andres, suspended all deliveries after the april 1st attack on an aid convoy. and we will continue to follow the developments of the ongoing conflict, as well as the latest from college campuses as demonstrations continue. we're not on air. you can get the latest by downloading our free nbc bay area news app or visit our website nbcbayarea.com. com. well, traffic is moving again on highway 101, in the south bay after a deadly crash forced a shutdown. happened around 630 this morning on southbound 101 near the oakland road off ramp in san jose. the northbound 880 to southbound 101 connector that

5:08 pm
voters later made the change permanent. we knew that prior to the pandemic, three out of every four vehicles that used to travel down this road didn't start their trip in a park, and they didn't end it in a park, which meant that they were using this beautiful space, this incredibly valuable space, to get someplace else more quickly. that is not the purpose of a park. hundreds of people were there for today's celebration, including mayor london breed, remembering and honoring those who lost their lives or were hurt on the job. california marks workers memorial day today , and with it, governor newsom reaffirms the state's commitment to make working conditions safer and healthier. nbc bay area's christie smith takes us to one of several events we owe it to them to ensure that their sacrifices were not in vain. in richmond today, workers memorial day was commemorated throughout the state. we're having events to remember, workers we've lost

out throughout, throughout the country. but specifically, we're here for workers in california. cal osha, along with federal osha and other partners, put this event together to honor workers who've lost their lives due to work related injuries and illnesses. in 2022, there were apparently 504 fatalities that we know of that were as the result of going to work, and that is way too many, our goal is to get those numbers down, educate employers on how to make their workplaces safer. we want to ensure that the workers are working in locations that are safe, that the employers provide them with safe working conditions and practice safety day and out. the event was held at the rosie the riveter world war ii home front national historical park, a location with special significance. the rosie the riveter historical park is
5:10 pm
really, in remembrance of the workers. the women workers in world war two who stepped up when a lot of the men were at war and assisting with the war effort. and so, a lot of what they did was dangerous. this event comes as governor newsom issued a proclamation declaring today, workers memorial day, highlighting advancement in recent years like improving working conditions and wages for fast food workers, protecting warehouse workers from unsafe production quotas, and ending unfair pay practices impacting garment industry workers. today, that commitment was reaffirmed so that everyone can come home safe. kristie smith, nbc bay area news. it is the official start of the san francisco boating season. that is right, and it was a great day to be out on the water. we'll take you to sausalito for the annual blessing of the fleet and boat

day on the bay parade. that parade showcased more than 100 historic boats. this year's theme was rocking on the bay. the parade started off the coast of tiburon, went down and along the san francisco shoreline. very nice. yes. all right. also very nice. right now we're going outside. live. look over the golden gate bridge. you can see it. you can see it on this sunday evening and looks like, clear skies, but maybe a little bit of haze. i'm not sure. rob yeah, a little here, a little breezy out there. start a boating season. you saw some whitecaps across the water. we had small craft advisories typical for this time of year when you get the sunshine and you got that late day sea breeze that picks up, we do have kind of that spread of summer like microclimates around the bay area right now. as we take you outside, you'll be able to see that we've got those temperatures in the 60s and 70s for now, but eventually we'll be on our way to some 80s inland as
5:14 pm
we head towards the middle part of the week. there you got the blue skies around san jose. it is breezy outside, northwest wind at 20mph, gusts up to about 24, and there, if you look closely, we talked about the white caps across the bay winds sustained out of the northwest to 29mph. a cool 60 near san francisco, more 60s around san rafael. southwest wind up to 21mph. and around walnut creek, one of the warmer spots we've seen today did get up to 75 degrees earlier. right now, 73. so the trend moving forward will be the warmest temperatures of the week tuesday, wednesday and thursday with the chance especially for the middle part of the week of seeing some low 80s inland and then changes as we head towards next weekend. more on that coming up in one minute. so notice the wind map right now. lots of 20 mile per hour breezes from hayward to san jose out towards fairfield. over the next 24 hours, we're likely to see a similar cycle wind speeds backing off a bit as we head towards the morning and then during the afternoon. tomorrow about the same range of
5:15 pm
25 to 35 mile per hour wind speeds around the coast in san francisco, and some of those onshore winds likely to bring in some patchy low clouds heading towards tomorrow morning. but during the day, mostly sunny skies. a repeat performance of your sunday forecast carried over into your monday forecast. so morning temperatures start off in the low 50s. you can dress in layers if you're inland with those cool temperatures to start the day, and then eventually low 70s by lunchtime around those east bay valleys, 73 in san jose. but for now, not much change for san francisco and oakland. you're still looking at highs in the mid 60s and with winds out of the west from 15 to 25mph, you're just not going to warm up as long as those onshore winds are that strong. now. tuesday, inland temperatures climb up a few degrees. we start to see more mid 70s. now you begin to see the temperatures change here. now look what happens. wednesday 80 in concord, close to 80 in san jose, santa rosa up to 80 degrees. and by thursday now 80 degrees, maybe mid 80s for solano county, 81 in san jose,
5:16 pm
70 from san francisco to oakland. and if you think this weather is going to last all the way through next weekend, hang on just a minute. let's show you what's happening next weekend. we do have some showers across parts of northern california, a sign that we're going to see high pressure give up some ground next weekend, and we will begin to see cooler changes as we head into friday and saturday. right now, you can see that weather system bringing some rain showers off to the north right now. looks like the north bay later saturday. might see a few showers. will certainly trend cooler as we head towards next weekend after san francisco gets a chance of upper 60s and low 70s for the middle part of the week. inland temperatures tuesday through thursday could see a few low 80s inland. thursday looks to be the warmest day. stay tuned. next saturday, north of san francisco may see a few showers. it would be a weekend with it would be a weekend. but we got lucky. this. yes we did this weekend has been gorgeous. we'll talk about next weekend. next weekend. all right rob thanks. up next, elon musk making an unannounced visit to china. what he's looking to do
