6:10 pm
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 turning out for today's celebration, including mayor london breed. we are back in 90s still ahead. warming temperatures and a warming real estate market. just how much home prices have risen across the bay area. and this barbie is a gold medal winner. we'll talk with the bay area figure skating star, who's getting her very own barbie doll , and it's a blustery finish of the weekend. wind gusts up to 44mph at sfo airport when the wind speeds come down and the temperatures climbed closer to 80 degrees

6:14 pm
exciting to, you know, it was over a year ago, so it was right before the barbie movie was coming out. and especially, you know, joining the group of women in that series, like maya angelou, anna may wong, cecilia cruz, so many heroes. tell me about the choosing of the moment and the outfit. how did that come about? i think it's just so identifiable for, the olympic golds that it made sense. and i was really excited that they were, leaning in that direction and, you know, down to the little detail, the little gold ribbon in the hair and my skates. and on representation really meant a lot that they, wanted to get an accurate, like, likeness of me. we want kids to see themselves and to be able to identify with their heroes. so
6:15 pm
so, so, yeah, i was really, really happy to see that, they wanted to embrace all of that. and and, you know, hopefully other people see that, this doll just doesn't just represent, the olympic achievement, but, you know, also, what came after the olympics. and that's really primarily been my work with always dream. yes. and we know her always dream organization is about early childhood literacy and family engagement. a big passion for yamaguchi. she exciting everywhere she goes. it's a good thing. absolutely. you know, she's doing a fantastic job. you know, long after the olympic medal victory. all right. rob mayeda here now. and you're talking about it was just a gorgeous day today. good day. a little windy though in a few spots on the coast. yeah, but summer-like day actually, we had those cool onshore winds around san francisco. highs in the low 60s and a few mid 70s inland. in fact, if you take a look at today's highs compared to where we should be this time
6:16 pm
of year, pretty close to an average day, we should see low 60s in san francisco right on target with that. san jose 73 in fact, slightly warmer than average temperatures for your sunday around santa rosa with that high up to 76 earlier. still windy, though near san francisco. wind out of the west 28mph at chilly 60 degrees 66 right now in san rafael. also seeing the onshore wind at 22mph, gusting up to 32 earlier today. still hanging on to the 70s in walnut creek, this will be one location wednesday and thursday that should be close to 80 degrees for highs and into san jose 67. northwest wind at 14mph. so the winds we have outside right now more typical of a summer like day as we go from mid-afternoon to early evening, those speeds pick up from 15 to 25mph and will likely find ourselves in the exact same pattern tomorrow. wind speeds backing off a bit for the morning and then flaring up again for the afternoon. again up to that 25 to 35 mile per hour range around the peninsula and san francisco. patchy low
6:17 pm
clouds right now. we'll see some of that reforming into the morning hours and then mostly sunny skies moving forward into the afternoon. so repeat performance temperature wise as we again mostly in the low 50s around the bay area with patchy areas of low clouds, sunshine for the afternoon and then the breezes pick up once again, which will keep areas near half moon bay and san francisco fairly cool, but still low 70s around san jose, the tri-valley and up around the north bay. now as you move forward tuesday, wednesday and thursday inland temperatures, you see the pattern there changing some numbers closer to 80 degrees around walnut creek and concord by wednesday, 78 in san jose. now thursday looks to be the warmest day of the week. mid 80s could be in reach around areas near solano county, 81 degrees in san jose, 80 in los gatos and even san francisco and oakland. a little less of that sea breeze for midweek into thursday should allow temperatures to briefly climb into the 70s, but the warm up really not going to last too long. as we move forward towards
6:18 pm
next weekend, there's a chance you see it right there. we could see a few showers dropping into the forecast. not a lot there showing up on the rainfall estimates, but the big shift in temperatures from 70s and 80s. diving into the 60s as we head towards next weekend. keep an eye on that forecast as we head towards next saturday, especially around the north bay, i think as we head into next weekend. but before we get there, a little bit of a warming trend to look forward to after another day of blustery conditions on the coast, temperatures start to climb pretty nicely. we'll see a couple of days of 80s inland and then some cooler changes into next weekend. not looking like a washout yet, but clearly not the warmest weather of the week. as we head towards next saturday, we'll definitely keep an eye on next weekend, as we always do this whole year. since the rain has been there. all right rob, thanks. still ahead, a big honor for two oakland basketball teams. how the state champs are being

the sunday sit down, look back range from curry's victory last summer on the golf course to his new documentary on his storied career with the warriors. one of the burning questions host willie geist had for him involved his incredible shooting. yeah. does curry understand that? he changed the game? do you have an appreciation for the fact that 14 year old boys take two dribbles inside half court and jack up threes, because of you? it was never like an intention of like that's what i'm here to do. but it's just how i see the game and the irrational confidence that i have to shoot all those type of shots and what we remember from that comment was irrational confidence.
6:22 pm
irrational confidence. we love that that he had irrational confidence when he was 14 years old right there. but if you watch him practice, you understand why. because he practice doing that shots over and over and over again. he's got four nba titles, two mvp's considered a great shooter in nba history. he was probably the greatest shooter in whatever league he was in. in that video we're just looking at right there oh my gosh. he was just a baby. all right. taking a live look at our state capitol here where a big celebration is set for tomorrow to honor two oakland high school basketball programs. we're talking about the state champion girls basketball team from oakland high and the state champion boys basketball team from oakland technical high. both teams, they took home the top prize this year. they've already gotten special shout outs at warriors games, and tomorrow they'll be honored on the floor of the california state senate and assembly. they'll also be visiting local elementary and middle schools to hopefully help inspire younger students in those districts. anthony flores, joining us now and for the san francisco giants this year, even
