sight that brought people out to watch parties around the bay area. john ramos took in the eclipse from the chabot space and science center in oakland. >> reporter: this is one of the rare days that helped to remind us the things around us every day are really quite extraordinary. the chabot observatory is usually quiet on monday mornings, but not today. a soldout crowd filled the plaza doing something their mothers probably warned them about. >> yeah. we're definitely going against our basic instincts right now i think today. >> reporter: why? >> we're staring directly at the sun, which is what we're told not to do. >> reporter: but there were all manner of devices to do that safely, from foil safety glasses to telescopes of all sizes with filters removing 99.9% of the light. casey welton finally had a chance to try out her new smart telescope for her iphone. >> yeah. i was ready. i've

been waiting months for this. >> reporter: an amateur stargazer dr. albert brooks was eager to show off what he could do with a cereal box. >> it's a raisin bran viewer. >> reporter: as people outside viewed the partial eclipse, inside the real show was being televised as the total eclipse moved up through mexico and texas. it was a breathtaking sight. >> feels so powerful and feels magical almost and the aura is really beautiful. >> i just feel lucky to be alive to see all this beautiful stuff in this world. >> reporter: he's right about being lucky because chabot astronomer gerald mckeegan says we just happen to live on this planet at the perfect time to view this unlikely celestial event. >> the sun is about 400 times farther away. coincidentally,

the sun is about 400 times bigger than the moon. so the two sets of numbers line up just right so we can see a perfect total solar eclipse. >> reporter: but that won't last for long at least in astronomical terms because the moon is slowly moving away from the earth at the same time the sun is growing larger. >> dinosaurs would not have had this and whoever is around 200 million years from now won't get it either. >> reporter: this is a special time, but in the rush of our lives we often lose sight of the natural wonders that surround us every day. sometimes it takes something magical to bring that back into focus. >> every once in a while something like this happens and reminds us that we are part of a much larger universe. i think that's one of the great things about it. >> reporter: just like that, it was over. the sun and moon parted ways and people went back to their everyday lives, but perhaps with the realization that the space we

live in is much bigger than know. >> they could not have picked a nicer day to watch the eclipse at stanford, a large crowd gathering at the oval today. they were given those special glasses to check out the partial eclipse safely and said it did not disappoint. >> i've never seen an eclipse before. this is my first time in person. >> i love it so much. >> it's so exciting to see a couple hundred people out here excited about science as well. i hope people stay inspired. they want to learn more about the planetary sciences and maybe come work with us someday. >> if you wanted the total eclipse experience, you had to travel and judging by this heavy traffic in new hampshire, a lot of people were taking that road trip catching the total eclipse in the northern part of the state. 15 states were in the path of totality. cbs reporter jarrett hill watched from new york and gives us a little taste of what people saw around the country. >> reporter: a moment of awe as the solar eclipse cast

darkness over daytime. the southwest got the first glimpse. >> it got dark real quick and lightened up pretty neat. >> reporter: 31 million people live in the path of totality for this once in a generation marvel where the moon blocks out the sun. crowds at the indianapolis motor speedway enjoyed the greatest spectacle in the sky. >> even though we knew what to expect, it was just mind blowing. >> reporter: in russellville, arkansas, more than 350 couples took the celestial cue and tied the knot, sealing it with an eclipse. >> it just seemed really fun. it's something unique. >> reporter: nasa estimated about 99% of people in the u.s. could see at least a partial eclipse, making this event the ultimate water cooler experience. even scientists emphasized the social impact. >> it's far more about inspiration, awe, and joy for humanity. it's an event that just makes you feel a lot of things. >> reporter: the name of the viewing game today was cloud cover with new england having

the least of it, making for the best line of sight in america. for three or four minutes of peace and awe, it's the last total solar eclipse in the continental u.s. until 2044. >> very cool. there are also lessons to be learned from this. the eclipse gives nasa scientists and other researchers a rare window to conduct experiments that could potentially lead to improved weather forecasting and a better understanding of how solar events impact gps. we brought you all of the excitement from bay area eclipse viewing parties in a live special on cbs news bay area. if you did not get a chance to catch it, you can check out the entire special on our youtube page. search for kpix or cbs news bay area. it's under top stories. we have even more eclipse coverage on our website. you can watch what it looked like in cities across that path of totality and check out other upcoming celestial events all on our website, kpix.com. the weather certainly

cooperated here in the bay area for eclipse watching and if you liked the sunshine today, it's going to get even warmer. meteorologist darren peck in our virtual view studio to fill us in on the big temp jump coming. >> and the mid-80s are coming for some of our warmer inland spots. we'll do the visualization on how the temperatures will change from yesterday when we were below average to wednesday when we're going to be well above it. we won't break records, but we are going ting about 10 to 12 degrees warmer than average. we'll probably be about 10 degrees shy of records. here's the comparison. this is today. we already started warming up today, beautiful day, low 70s already for many of our warmer inland spots. if we take this. watch the time staff over there that says monday. we're going to switch this to wednesday. the whole color scheme changes. numbers really go up, mid-80s for some of the lower midland valleys and 60s along the coastline. it doesn't last. if you like this, make the most of wednesday and thursday because by friday we're going right back the other way. there's a

system coming in and widespread rain in the forecast for the weekend and daytime highs if you're lucky in the low 60s. we'll go into all the detail on that in the full forecast in a bit. back to you. >> thanks, darren. a fight over changing the name of oakland's airport could end up in court. san francisco is now threatening to sue if the airport does not drop plans to add san francisco bay to its name. san francisco city attorney david chiu sent a letter urging them to ditch the proposal saying the name change infringes on sfo's trademark and would confuse travelers. commissioners are expected to vote on the name change thursday. >> we're hoping oakland will figure out an acceptable name that works for oakland, but does not infringe on our trademark rights. from our perspective litigation is the last resort and we hope to avoid it, but we will resort to it if we are forced to. >> the oakland airport has

previously said that adding san francisco to its name could help with recognition and boost airport traffic and the port of oakland is not backing down it told us today. the proposed name modification will clarify, not confuse, the new name identifying where o.a.k. is actually located, which is on the san francisco bay. if the proposed name modification is approved by the board, the airport will take all appropriate measures to defend its right to use this accurate geographic identifier. when travelers leave the oakland airport, one of the first things they see is the hegenberger corridor and the coliseum. the area has been plagued with business closures and now people who live around there tell our da lin the a's decision to move to sacramento next season will be another huge economic blow. >> reporter: retired city officials tell me it took decades to convince companies to invest in east oakland and the hegenberger corridor. many people are angry that years of hard work vanished in a short amount of time as businesses

leave the city. the a's will soon join a growing list of businesses that have left the hegenberger road area. the move will result in job losses. >> we don't necessarily want to call it an economic desert, but it's starting to look that way. >> reporter: lifelong east oakland resident charles johnson says it's more economic pain for some of his neighbors who work as concession workers at the coliseum. >> it is absolute frustration and it even goes to at times a level of anger. >> reporter: this was how the hegenberger shopping center looked eight years ago, hustle and bustle, a lot of shoppers and cars. the parking lot was always full on game days, but the business corridor has seen a decline in recent years that started with the departure of walmart in 2016 and the pace of closures sped up in the last 12 months, two starbucks, a subway, an in-n-out, denny's

and black bear diner and two restaurants that closed to drive-thru only because of break-ins. this is how the shopping center looks now, very quiet and fences in the parking lot to prevent people from doing donuts. >> it's so sad. i would always go to the denny's around here. >> they're leaving here like the city is on fire. >> reporter: acts of gospel church is located near the coliseum. while the a's are leaving over a different season, the result is the same, fewer tax dollars and fewer jobs for people in east oakland. >> just helping crime to escalate even more because without the jobs, without making the money, how are you going to live? so crime seems to be the only thing that's working in the city of oakland. >> reporter: neighbors believe it may take many years to revitalize the hegenberger area. >> the crime for sure, yeah, even like especially as a woman, like a younger woman, coming to the gym here, it's scary. i make extra sure i lock

my car. i look always. it's scary. >> reporter: charles says the city has to improve public safety or more businesses will continue to leave. >> i don't think that it's over. i just think that you have to have some optimism and have some visionaries who would like to come back and make oakland back tough and strong like it was before. >> reporter: the a's are scheduled to play their last regular season home game on september 26th. people who live in another bay area neighborhood said that they are getting parking tickets lately for parking their own cars in their own driveways. the citations say the cars are spilling over into the sidewalk, but many owners say they've been parking that way for years. >> i was like thinking about am i going to wake up with a ticket in the front? >> on the other hand, people walking in the neighborhood say they are sometimes forced out into the street. coming up at 5:30, how drivers are trying to navigate that issue asking people not to get the city's

parking enforcement involved. still ahead, it has been a giant headache getting around big sur after a chunk of highway 1 collapsed, an update on the emergency repair job starting this week. new numbers showing just how many people are giving up on the california dream and where they are heading now. plus taking aim at ticketmaster, how one east bay lawmaker wants to change the way ticket sales are handled to promote more competition.

a group of real life rosie the riveters from the bay area just landed in the nation's capital. they are about to receive a congressional gold medal. united airlines shot this video of a sendoff party this morning at sfo. these are some of the women who worked in factories during world war ii now officially recognized for their contributions to the nation's success. the youngest are now in their 80s, some a

century old. >> kind of humbling because i'm representing the ones that have died and there are so many of them that missed being acknowledged. i just am one of the survivors. >> of the millions of women who worked in factories during the war, only a few dozen have survived long enough to see their work recognized with one of the nation's highest honors. that ceremony is set for wednesday. it is a major headache along the coast. tomorrow caltrans is expected to start emergency repairs to a scenic stretch of highway 1 in big sur after a portion of the highway collapsed. crews plan to start drilling vertical anchors in the southbound lane of the highway. this is near the rocky creek bridge. a big chunk of the roadway crumbled into the ocean during heavy rains easter weekend leaving more than 1,000 people stranded, no word when those emergency repairs will be finished, but a long term fix could take years. caltrans is

resuming its convoys to get people through the damaged area. meantime highway 1 is back open through capitola after caltrans demolished an overpass this weekend. they took down the capitola avenue bridge as part of a plan to eventually widen the freeway. caltrans says they will replace the 85-year-old bridge next year. taking a live look outside, here is first alert meteorologist darren peck. gorgeous day around here, darren. >> yeah. this was a really wonderful one to spend a little bit of time outside. if you like it sunny and warm, it's going to get warmer the next few days. we'll see the atmosphere go through like this whole scale shift. watch what happens in the general temperature trend. as each day goes on, you see the warmth breathe in, breathe out. by wednesday it's going to breathe in pretty darn close to us. we'll see this kind of surge of warmer temperatures. we'll top out wednesday. we looked at that in the last visit. many inland locations will be in the low 80s when we

do that and then it's going to turn right back around and friday we're going back to the 60s and it's going to be widespread rain on saturday. we can see the bigger situation from the gulf of alaska in terms of the next storm that will develop. we'll let this play through the next three days. this is our warm-up because you see the storm track getting pulled away and there's nothing going on here. we'll keep it just as sunny as everything goes that way, but the area of low pressure right there is going to break through this ridge. we put it into the long range forecast. watch how that comes together. we'll see this system come out of the gulf of alaska and come down here towards us and now we've got a good looking system right off the coast friday and we'll take it maybe on the leading edge friday night with a few showers. it's really focused much more on saturday. for friday it gets cloudy. we cool down about 10 degrees. it will be low 70s friday while this thing is sitting off the coast and then saturday it comes onshore. saturday really does appear to be the day that that

system has its sights set on at this point. widespread rain. if we look at the totals for just saturday, we could pick up about a half inch of rain as it comes through the first half of the weekend. there could be a few leftover showers sunday, maybe a few leading edge showers that come in friday night, but saturday is the focus. in the seven-day forecast you can see what that looks like. maybe a shower friday, probably a lingering shower sunday, but saturday is the primary focus, daytime highs from the mid-70s down to 59 by sunday. that story plays out the same for all our microclimates. we warm up to near 80 for north bay valleys. san jose will get to the low 80s, 82, and back down to 58. this is spring. you really go through these wild swings. think of each warm-up as a little preview of what there's

a lot more of to go over the next four to five months. so maybe we should make the most of these random events and be thankful they're still coming around putting a little moisture in the landscape. back to you. >> thank you. coming up, americans are on the move, where california ranks in the number of people moving out and where they are moving to. they left evidence on the bay bridge, several bay area cities dealing with the aftermath of weekend sideshows.

despite that beautiful live picture you just saw, the california exodus continues. according to repeat data, cristian benavides takes a closer look at where people are moving. >> reporter: we first met daniella lopez on a cold winter morning in new york city. >> i guess it's 30 degrees. >> reporter: is this one of the reasons you're moving? >> 100%, yes. >> reporter: she was packing up and moving out of her studio apartment on manhattan's east side and headed for florida. >> i want to start a new life. so i was like why not miami? >> reporter: she is not alone.

a survey from u-haul found in 2023 texas, florida, the carolinas, and tennessee welcomed the largest number of new residents. new york was near the bottom of the list. california came in dead last. the state saw the largest number of people leaving for the fourth year in a row. who is it that you're seeing that's moving from new york to florida? >> for me mostly young people. >> reporter: marco filopovicl is a forman at piece of cake moving. florida has been a popular destination for a while. this is the ninth year in a row the sunshine state ranked among u-haul's top four places to move. >> i think these families want space. >> reporter: a senior director at real estate company douglas element. >> we have weather, lifestyle. the trend is people love miami. >> reporter: the number of people moving to south florida has created a housing crunch. some native floridians are unable to keep up with the

rising prices. you're here. >> i'm here, yes. >> reporter: but for lopez prices here are a deal compared to new york. for nearly the same cost she got an apartment three times the size of the one she had in manhattan, plus there's a wrap-around deck. >> i'm trying something different and if miami's not it, i know i have new york. i can always go back. >> reporter: for now she's calling florida home. >> other top growth states include idaho, washington, arizona, colorado, and virginia. to make its list, u-haul calculates the number of one-way trips of its trucks to and from each state, but that does not account for other rental companies or when people hire a moving company. coming up, the parking crackdown going into people's driveways, why some people say their neighbor's cars are a hazard. plus one bay area lawmaker wants to make it easier to buy concert tickets, how she is going after ticketmaster. speaking of prices, you might be doing a double take at

president biden's first attempt to get rid of student debt was struck down by the supreme court, but he is trying again, details on the program he announced today. >> thanks for joining us this evening. i'm anne makovec. our top story now at 5:30, the parking crackdown in people's driveways, a few years ago san francisco's mta said they would start ticketing people if cars parked in a driveway were blocking the sidewalk, but they weren't really enforcing it until now. as amanda hari shows us, some neighbors are turning on each other now. >> reporter: people in these neighborhoods say they've been parking like this for years and suddenly they're seeing sfmta issue citations. the issue is what you see here, cars parked in short driveways forcing them to spill over into the sidewalk. then people have to walk around them to get by. >> i was like thinking about am i going to, you know, wake up with like a ticket in the

front? >> reporter: david cho regularly house sits in the sunset and says he's in an internet group message and people have been talking about uptick in citations for cars parked in their own driveways. the offense listed on the ticket, blocking part of the sidewalk. cho has parked sideway like this for years leaving room for pedestrians, but now he's concerned that might not be enough. >> this is my electric car and i park it here because the charger is on this side and so i can run a line here to charge my car. so if i park it out there, then the line would be on the sidewalk and i don't want people to be tripping on it. >> reporter: throughout the inner sunset neighborhood dozens of cars are hanging over the sidewalk. someone who lives in the richmond district took to x to complain about the citation saying they had parked that way for years. the sfmta responded saying, "not being cited before isn't a guarantee you won't be cited in the

future" and that there is a recent effort to better address sidewalk parking in the city. near ninth avenue and moraga street, a sign asking people not to call the department of transportation to ticket cars parked in driveways. it suggests leaving a note asking someone to park differently. >> i think if you live in the neighborhood, we should be a little bit more friendly and neighborhoody to our neighbors and i think it doesn't have to go for the kill, maybe just kind of like talk to the person. >> reporter: linda messitt doesn't have a car but lives in the neighborhood and frequently walks her dog harrison. she sees cars spilling into the sidewalk all the time and it can cause issues. >> we walk in a group going to meet our friends to walk our dogs together. you're going around and end up in the street. i mean it's a pain sometimes. >> reporter: she says she's able-bodied and usually just walking her dog, but for others it could become dangerous. >> i think that it would be a bigger issue if i had kids
