san francisco boiled over in a confrontation yesterday with the city's supervisor. connie chan represents district 1, which includes the richmond district. lately there has been an outcry from residents who believe the city is not doing enough to stop crime. a few months ago we covered the deadly beating of a richmond district store clerk, last august, he was killed trying to stop a theft. late last month, a 22-year-old man was arrested after he slashed the tires of two dozen cars. andrea nakano spoke with a community leader who says connie chan, the supervisor, has been absent from nearly all of the recent public safety meetings. >> reporter: mark is trying to make his community safer one step at a time, he has seen too many of his neighbors call it quits in richmond.

7:05 am
day, when we are pleading for resources and help for public safety again and again, the question is, where is the mayor? >> reporter: mayor london breed's office issued a statement saying she hasn't asked for a meeting to talk about public safety. the statement went on to say, if she wants to work with the mayor tackling issues, she could start by actually asking her to sit down and talk about ideas or solutions. that's the hard work that many of our colleagues do every day. and residents like mark are questioning her leadership when it comes to crime. she says connie chan has been missing from several meetings especially after the richmond was shattered by the death of a store clerk who was brutally beaten last august. >> she has been in august for 3 1/2 years and she has been pretty much absent and every

7:13 am
- lift the clouds off of... - virtual weather, only on kpix and pix+. welcome back, here is a look at the golden gate bridge on this saturday morning, it looks about as good as it can get today, the time is 7:13. a total solar eclipse is just two days away, and in the bay area, we won't get the full spectacle, but even a partial view is still worth checking out. >> i'm dr. jeff matthews, here we are on the foothill college campus with the observatory on
7:14 am
the left . >> while jeff is a professor of astronomy, he has never seen this, a total solar eclipse, unfolding over north america on monday, but -- >> i will not be in the bay area, i'm traveling to where i will see totality, so excited. >> that means traveling to the 130 mile wide path of totality, which stretches from texas and out the canadian maritimes, outside of that path, it is just a partial solar eclipse like the bay area saw in 2017. >> even the partial eclipse is just fantastic, i love it. >> that is what we will have in the bay area on monday, a partial solar eclipse.
7:15 am
>> that is the sun, that is the only thing bright enough to get through this filter. >> the partial eclipse will reach maximum partial eclipse at 11:13 a.m. >> from the bay area, imagine you have a cookie and you take a bite out of it, that is what the sun will look like, if you are using a filter. >> and you must use a filter, never ever look at the sun directly. if you don't have glasses, how about a punch card? >> this is my favorite way to look at the sun. because it is the simplest, you can just project an image onto another surface. if you don't have something like this handy, just use a nearby tree, the leads from the tree will naturally produce a series of pinholes, each of those will produce a little tiny image of the sun >> while jeff knows exactly where the path of totality is,
7:16 am
we don't know exactly what the weather will be like. clear skies are anything but certain along the path of totality. >> one of the first lessons is that weather wins. >> and there's always the year 2044, that is the next time a solar eclipse will visit the continental u.s. >> there's going to be special coverage on monday on cbs mornings, starting at 7:00 a.m., then at 11:00 a.m., you can join norah o'donnell for a special report, total eclipse of the heartland. local coverage begins at 10:00 a.m., you can find us on the free cbs news app or pluto tv. we've got a beautiful saturday coming our way,
7:17 am
there's no rain in the forecast, more blue skies than anything else, and as we get to the later hours, there is a week weather system that is going to bring us a few light showers, as we get into very early sunday morning, we are going to go into more detail on that. let's just enjoy saturday's forecast for a moment. daytime highs are still in the low 60s. we are not really rebounding much on the temperatures yet , that is coming in this forecast, there is a significant warm-up for much of the middle part of next week. for saturday and sunday, temperatures are still below average for this time of year. we mentioned a small possibility for rain coming our way, early sunday, a very weak line of showers. let's get a closer investigation on that and slow it down. you can see the line of rain here, which really falls apart. but, we still have to discuss at least a small chance of a few light showers in the predawn hours of sunday. most of it will be held off the coast. but a few
7:18 am
showers will be possible. and look how fast that clears out, that is sunday. tomorrow we are going to have more blue skies than anything else. in terms of turning the corner on these temperatures, we are below average through the weekend but you can see the trend is going to change, by the time we get to thursday, deep shades of orange show the numbers climbing well above average. here is a little comparison on this. daytime highs for today, saturday and sunday are both very similar. i'm just going to skip ahead to thursday, we will put the specific numbers on here for your part of the bay, and there are mid-80s on here, we have a couple of numbers going up to 83 here, notice it doesn't change too much near the coast but you will still be in the upper 60s, even in pacifica, san francisco could make the low 70s . one
7:19 am
other thing to discuss, we are watching the forecast for monday morning, at 11:13, when we get the partial solar eclipse, as we look ahead to that timeframe, here is monday morning and by the time it is 11:00, it is going to be clear. we are not concerned about clouds getting in the way of the partial solar eclipse. let's get into the forecast, i will show you what things look like from our microclimates. starting out in san francisco and oakland first. oakland will go to the mid-70s, microclimates show us that warm-up in a bit more dramatic fashion. san jose, 84 degrees by the time we get to thursday and the east bay will also make it to the mid-80s by the time we get there. the beaches will make it up to 71 by thursday. not bad. coming up, giants baseball is back with a bang, we go to oracle park with the

7:23 am
known for his speed but he went all the way around to score. the giants beat the padres, 3-2. >> it's a great way to end the home opener, i'm really glad we won that one. >> thank god we won, we did a couple things early in the game that basically swung the game to their side. >> they are back on saturday, 6:05 first pitch as they take on the padres yet again. the warriors practically ended the rockets playoff hopes although there is a very slim chance that things could go south, a win in dallas last night could seal the deal with houston winning earlier in the evening. the mavericks playing without their star, but they still had kyrie irving, and he gave dallas a six-point lead with less than 2:00 to play.
7:24 am
the warriors were never out of it, with steph curry, pulling out his deep three. already less than 20 seconds, the warriors are down two. steph curry has the ball again, and this time he ties the game at 106. the mavericks will get a chance to answer, still time on the clock, getting the ball out of kyrie's hand, watson has that guy. the dirt -- steph curry gets trapped at half court, heading over to the corner, but the three just falls short, the mavericks hang on to win, the warriors are back home sunday and they can clinch a playoff spot with a win on sunday. to women's college hoops, the wnba star, kelsey plumb had her front row seat and popcorn
