>> the people of oakland of the bay, all got together to shut it down. this was part of a global call. april 15th economic blockade. >> this is ktvu, fox two news at six. >> and we're also getting late. word of another protest happening right now in fremont, not far from the tesla factory. good evening everyone. >> i'm mike mibach and i'm julie julie haener. here's the latest of what we know so far about the protest. traffic first became disrupted at about 615 this morning on northbound interstate 880 in oakland. that's where protesters blocked the freeway using heavy chains, attaching themselves to drums filled with concrete. the second protest started just before 8:00 on the golden gate bridge, blocking all lanes. protesters there chained themselves to their cars and say they threw their keys into the bay to make it more difficult to remove them. another demonstration took place at about 815 on another portion of interstate 880. in the southbound direction at seventh

street near the port of oakland. according to the chp, more than three dozen people were detained at all three locations. it took several hours to get all lanes cleared, and there is also a protest that just got underway about 30 minutes ago in the city of fremont, ktvu zac sos joins us live tonight. >> all right, zach, where exactly are you here. how big is this one? >> well, for the moment, we are just outside the tesla plant here in fremont, where it is our understanding that this protest is headed, this pro-palestinian protest, this protest against the ongoing war in gaza. for now, those demonstrators are about a half mile down the road from here. you can see our chopper overhead there. they are located at the warm springs bart station. you can see them holding signs. they are organizing their our understanding is they will eventually make their way down fremont boulevard to the plant here, where for the last hour or so, we have been watching police assemble on plant property. there are a number wearing tactical gear across the road,

on fremont boulevard. there are several, blocking certain parts of the roadway. organizers of this latest demonstration are targeting this plant again as part of a bay area wide effort, and indeed, a national effort today to disrupt the work of large corporations, the global economy. we've seen them taking place on bridges, roads used to ship things for the global economy, to distribute products in the global economy. all of this protest, again against the ongoing war in gaza, gaza, notably, we're also just down the road from 880 and given the blockades that we have seen take place earlier on the day, on major highways, that roadway is certainly something that we will be keeping an eye on to see if this protest eventually makes its way there as well. for now, i'll send it back to you in the studio. >> yeah, zach, you actually bring up a good point there in regards to the golden gate

bridge being shut down earlier today, 101 and then interstate 80. do you get a sense at all whether or not chp or police officers in fremont are going to allow those protesters, if indeed they get down that close to the interstate to get on to 880 at all, or are they going to prevent them from getting on? >> you know, we haven't gotten any indication of that for now, it seems like their real focus is here at the plant, making sure that they don't distribute, don't disrupt the nighttime shifts that are coming here into the plant. so, for now, again, staging right here, we'll have to keep an eye on it to see if they end up moving closer to the freeway as well. >> all right. we'll continue to watch what happens. zac sos outside the fremont factory there in the tesla factory in fremont. zach. thank you. well, traffic was at a standstill on the golden gate bridge until well after noon. all pedestrian traffic also halted. ktvu christien kafton has that part of the story. >> sky fox had the best vantage

point to see how the protest on the golden gate bridge unfolded. protesters took over the span shortly before 8 a.m. the california highway patrol saying officers arrested 26 demonstrators here who chained themselves to their vehicles and refused to move. protesters say they chose this site and others around the bay area to draw the most attention and to bring commerce to a halt, all in an effort to halt aid to israel, say a coordinated global effort. >> we are saying that enough of our tax dollars from the united states, one of the largest, the largest ally of israel, we don't want our money going to israel anymore. >> the hours long protest brought traffic to a standstill. lucy dungannon said she had to stop her suv just before crossing onto the bridge. she couldn't go home because she says she's a home health care provider and if she doesn't go to work, no one would be able to care for her patient. >> yeah, they need me because the old lady cannot do anything to her husband. i need to report , right away to their house. >> pat ackerman says protesters

stopping traffic could wind up alienating even those sympathetic to their cause. >> protest is just not going to help any child in gaza, you know? and or any sympathy, you know, and it's a complicated situation, i know that. but to, you know, to hold up people who are genuinely trying to get to work doesn't help anybody. >> hope folks that think that way look back in history, look at vietnam war, look at other instances where the public's pressure, like we're doing right now, was the only thing that stopped our government from continuing to fund death. pretty much. >> the california highway patrol responded to the protest on the bridge, as well as protests on other bay area freeways. law enforcement said they'd been tracking chatter that something could happen. on april 15th, so we had no specific intelligence. >> there was a decent amount of intelligence about this day. but these specific protests? no, we did not have specific intelligence related to it before noon, a bus loaded with protesters made its way off the bridge, and within a half hour,

traffic was allowed back onto the span. >> pedestrians and cyclists who were also barred from crossing said they were relieved they could finally cross the iconic bridge. >> i've just realized it's about three in palestine and i completely agree, but we was really disappointed when we came and realized that we couldn't walk across because they might, they said it might take all day to clear it all. >> so then this has to be a relief to see now that you can finally get across. yes, those arrested here at the bridge are now facing a series of charges in san francisco, including unlawful assembly, failure to disperse and blocking the bridge, notably, they're also facing charges for false imprisonment for not letting people go where they wanted to go and for conspiracy. since this effort at the bridge appears to be part of a coordinated effort across the bay area and part of a nationwide day of protests in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> the protesters also caused disruptions and major traffic backups on interstate 880. in oakland, demonstrators took over the northbound lanes of 880 at fifth and embarcadero. >> they made their way onto the

freeway at about 615 this morning, just as the commute was getting underway. dozens of chp officers were in riot gear, watching as the protesters waved flags and painted the colors of palestine on the highway center median. >> well, there's a genocide going on halfway across the world, and people have to be informed about it. whether it's going to work, whether it's on social media. people need to stay informed of what's going on. babies are dying. >> officers say the protesters used 55 gallon drums filled with concrete and attached themselves to them with chains. the chp says seven people were arrested at 880 northbound. all lanes of 880 northbound then reopened by 115. this afternoon. >> protesters also blocked south 880 at seven street near the port of oakland. about 300 people blocked the interstate at this location. this started around 815 this morning. the first lanes eventually reopened 1230 this afternoon. this protest also affected operations at the port of oakland, which protesters say was their

ultimate goal for an autonomous get together with no backing by any organization. >> the fact that the people of oakland of the bay all got together to shut it down. this was part of a global call. april 15th economic blockade in support of palestine and considering i-80 south was shut down for about five hours. that's a big hit on the economy. we have 32 different languages spoken here at the port, so it's all minorities, immigrants that support the palestinian cause. >> and they want this to stop, behind us, you see, a lot of them are white. probably jewish, that are supporting this also tonight, the port says all marine terminals were suspended there at the port for the entire day. >> as a result of the protest. the chp says five people were arrested at that location. >> protests across the country snarled traffic in major cities, including new york and in chicago. >> ktvu heather holmes has been monitoring the situation for us.

she joins us here in studio with the latest. >> heather. yeah, as we mentioned, this was a nationwide effort, as we saw right here in the bay area. organizers called for a national strike demanding an end to u.s. support to israel. so i want to show you now what happened in chicago. police arresting at least 40 people who disrupted traffic there. this was to the main routes to o'hare airport. some frustrated travelers ended up having to walk to their terminals to catch flights. this morning in new york city, there were a number of pro-palestinian demonstrations. one large group ran onto the manhattan bound side of the brooklyn bridge, bringing traffic there to a standstill. at one point, demonstrators were seen lighting flares and throwing them into the east river, with bicycle police in pursuit. eventually, officers corralled those protesters on a pedestrian walkway and arrested several people. and we also go to eugene, oregon, where dozens of demonstrators blocked the i-5 freeway there. police say they ordered the protesters to disperse before taking them into custody. earlier today on the four, we spoke with usf

professor stephen zunes about what's driving the escalation of these protests. >> it's a sizable majority of americans, according to polls, believe that us military aid to israel should be conditional on human rights. a sizable majority support an immediate permanent cease fire. and yet the biden administration and the congressional leadership of both parties so far have not been willing to take that position themselves. and when you see that kind of gap, that's when you see these more militant, kind of protests, such as shutting down freeways and bridges. >> and we have an update now from chicago this afternoon, a crowd of dozens of protesters clashed with police. there as they marched through downtown. about 200 officers set up a perimeter to try to contain the marchers. so far, no word of any arrests there. antiwar protesters, though, have demonstrated in chicago almost daily since the start of the israeli offensive against hamas, the gaza war has killed more than 33,000 palestinians and

demonstrators say that that loss of life should demand the attention of the world. >> mike and julie, people letting their voices be heard from the bay area and beyond. all right, heather, thank you. thanks, heather. >> iran attacks israel directly from iranian soil for the first time in history, the white house expresses caution at israel on how to respond. also ahead tonight, this is the political equivalent of really an earthquake. >> jury selection begins in the first criminal trial of a former us president. the implications on donald trump's campaign to reclaim the white house. >> we're tracking a warm up around here. temperatures did warm up today. still kind of on the mild side in the upper 60s. it's going to be warmer tomorrow. i'll have that right away. >> and another big story we're following tonight. the federal women's prison in dublin is shutting down just a month after the fbi raided that facility. >> and let's give you a look at at that evening commute, interstate 880, a lot of attention on the interstate throughout the day, but a little slow going in that southbound direction. northbound looks fine. making her way into

this all comes as the white house is reportedly discouraging israel from escalating the conflict with iran into a full blown war. fox news trey yingst reports now from tel aviv.

>> the world is waiting for israel's response after iran launched a barrage of hundreds of drones and missiles toward israel over the weekend. >> this was an attack unprecedented in its scope and in its scale. >> the israeli war cabinet reportedly disagrees about the timing and the scale of a potential counterattack, but israeli officials generally seem to agree something must be done if someone wants to annihilate us, wipe us off the map, we're not just going to sit idly by. the attack on israel coming after iranian officials claimed an israeli airstrike destroyed iran's consulate in syria earlier in april, the israeli military says 99% of the missiles from this weekend's attack were intercepted. the us claiming credit for shooting down many of them. >> this attack failed because it was defeated by israel, by the united states and by a coalition of other partners committed to israel's defense. >> however, president biden has told israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that the us would not join in a

counter-offensive against iran and on capitol hill. supplemental funding for israel remains tied up in congress. house republicans are meeting today to discuss a path forward for the legislation. >> what's important right now is that we stand with israel. we should not be dictating to them what their policy is. >> this marks the first time iran has directly attacked israel from its soil. the region now waits to see how israel will respond in tel aviv. trey yingst, fox news. >> and be sure to stay with ktvu for continuing coverage of the war in gaza, as well as ongoing protests here in the bay area. we are staying on top of any protest tonight. locally and we'll have more on air and on ktvu.com. >> after several sex abuse scandals, criminal convictions and an unprecedented request from a judge, the federal women's prison in dublin is suddenly shutting down the bureau of prisons, making that surprise announcement just today, ktvu crime reporter henry lee has the story. >> she's, scared. she don't know what's going on. she. they came

and told her that the whole prison is going to shut down. esther aguirre, 61 year old mother, is an inmate at the all female federal prison in dublin. >> but now the prison is being shut down and all 600 women are being moved to points unknown. >> like, where are they going to take my mother to now? you know, like it's just wrong? well, for all them girls in there, you know, i feel for all of them. >> on monday morning, ktvu spotted busses coming into the prison, which has been wracked by a sex abuse scandal involving inmates and guards. the bureau of prisons says they're shutting the dublin facility because, quote, it is not meeting expected standards. the agency says the closure may be temporary and will result in what it called a mission change. it's not clear what that means, and that worries people like lisa, whose niece is at the prison. >> she's petrified because she doesn't know where she's going. she's sick and she is supposed to be released immediately. >> the federal judge overseeing reforms held an emergency hearing monday and directed the special master in charge of the prison to make sure inmates are properly transferred to other prisons, halfway houses, home confinement or given

compassionate release. >> i think this is a good step in the right direction. clearly, the prison was not being properly run. it had poor management, but attorneys representing inmates blasted the government for the last minute announcement. >> and the fact that they would take that approach at this last second without any kind of warning, is shameful. >> frankly, they say they'll continue to advocate for the women no matter where they end up. >> the government can't avoid accountability just by changing a policy or closing a facility. scrutiny is still necessary, and they can't just shift the burden to one facility or another. >> we've learned all the transfers should be completed by friday, and that the closure will not affect prison staff in dublin. henry lee ktvu, fox two news we have new information on a shooting in napa that left two young women dead. >> it happened saturday night on riverside drive near laurel street. late today, napa police said the two victims were 17 and 19 years old, and investigators don't believe the shooting was

random. a witness told police some teenage girls were arguing, then walked toward a building, and that's when he heard gunshots. following the shooting, witnesses say they saw a black compact sedan leaving the scene. the victims names still have not been released, but police say they have family ties to napa. these are the city of napa's first homicides since 2022. a former youth pastor in san jose has been arrested for alleged sexual assault of a minor. the victim told police that 47 year old brett bymaster assaulted her multiple times between 2014 and 2018. san jose police say he was a youth pastor at the river church community at the time, and also volunteered at after school programs outside the church. bymaster was arrested in manteca last week and then booked into the santa clara county jail. >> police in oakland say more resources will be deployed this weekend in response to the number of illegal sideshow activities early yesterday morning, police say officers towed 21 vehicles, issued 52 citations and made three arrests. police say officers were very busy trying to break

up the crowd as drivers sped through alleyways and onto sidewalks and through parking lots, trying to evade those officers. one driver even rammed into a few police cars to get away. in. at least three vehicles were set on fire. >> okay, temperatures today. on the mild side, santa rosa was one of the warm spots. they hit 70 degrees. most everybody else mid 60s lower than that even especially along the coast. we had a lot of fog hung in a long time. today you see some clouds out there now out in by mount diablo. the clouds did clear and then temperatures finally did warm. the sun came out. that's going to be the story tomorrow, except the sun should come out sooner. temperatures will be or should be warmer. this high pressure is the story. it will be the story. not just this week, but some indications are we're going to be dry for a little while here. so high pressure is the pacific high, which is our dominant weather feature this time of year. looks like it's going to be dominant for a few weeks. we'll see how that goes. in the meantime, this week we can pretty much count on

more of the same, which is breezy along the coast, some patchy coastal fog, and then temperatures generally in the 70s, and even some maybe some low 80s as we kind of wobble through the week here. but overall we're going to hover in the mid 70s, maybe 78, maybe 74, kind of like that right through the week into the bay area weekend along the coast. it will be cooler, obviously, for the for the fog that will be there. and if we look at the satellite, you can see the fog kind of sitting offshore, but no fog showing up necessarily on the satellite. but we'll see some coastal fog again tonight and we'll see temperatures tomorrow rebound a good five degrees warmer probably than they were today. so you'll notice the warming again tomorrow. pretty pleasant. i'll see you back here . we'll do the full forecast. just a few minutes. >> all right bill, thank you. a new tiny home community opened today in san francisco for people experiencing homelessness. mission cabins is located on mission street near the 16th street bart plaza. the community features 60 cabins for temporary shelter, each one has a bed, storage space, a desk, and heating. the site also includes bathrooms, a dining

area, and community space. >> still to come, the supreme court issues a major ruling on transgender care for children. >> also ahead tonight, new developments into the bridge collapse in baltimore. investigators uncover some surprising new details. >> plus, the recount begins in the south bay congressional race, and that could cause a shakeup on the november ballo

its controversial ban on gender affirming care for transgender youth. today's ruling allows the ban to stay in place while lawsuits over the law proceed. under the law, doctors face up to ten years in prison if they provide hormones, puberty blockers or other gender affirming care to people under the age of 18. the court's three liberal justices say they would have kept the law on hold while the lawsuits are pending. supreme court justice clarence thomas was absent from the court today with no explanation. thomas also was not participating remotely in arguments, as justices sometimes do when they are sick or otherwise can't be there in person. chief justice john roberts announced thomas's absence and said he would participate fully based on the briefs and transcripts from the proceedings. >> another body has been recovered from the site of that bridge collapse in baltimore. the discovery now marks the fourth body found at the scene. two other victims are still missing. the fbi is now

investigating the bridge collapse. agents were on board the cargo ship today looking for any violations of federal maritime law, and whether crew members were aware of any technical or operational issues before the ship left port. >> six families have permanently lost father, others, uncles, brothers, irreplaceable loved ones. >> the ship's owner and operator denied responsibility and has filed court documents asking that any liability be capped at $43 million. the fbi's criminal investigation is separate from the one being conducted by the national transportation safety board, which is determining the cause of that collapse. >> coming up on ktvu news at 630. jury selection begins in the trump hush money payments trial. how it could affect the former president's campaign schedule. >> also ahead, the recount begins to determine whether the south bay congressional race really ended in a tie for second place in the primary, and stanford's cameron brand got

locations today, protesters chained themselves to cars on

the golden gate bridge just after 8:00 this morning. traffic was snarled in both directions for several hours. they were demanding an immediate cease fire in gaza, saying in part they wanted to draw attention to the deaths of innocent palestinians. protesters also disrupted traffic on north 880 at fifth avenue in oakland, as well as south 880 near the port of oakland. >> the demonstrators blocked the freeway using heavy chains, attaching themselves to drums filled with concrete. operations at the marine terminals at the port were shut down as a result of the road blockades. >> in a surprise development, word came today that the federal women's prison in dublin is shutting down. the prison has been at the center of several sex abuse scandals and was raided by the fbi last month, a federal judge directed a newly appointed official in charge of the prison to make sure inmates are properly transferred to other prisons, halfway houses, home confinement or given compassionate release. by friday . >> and you are watching ktvu fox two news here at 630. a historic

moment inside a manhattan courtroom. donald trump, the first former us president to stand trial on criminal charges. >> jury selection began in mr. trump's new york hush money trial today. the trial itself could take nearly two months. ktvu political reporter greg leigh explains how this could affect mr. trump's campaign calendar. >> donald trump arrived to a manhattan courtroom for the first criminal trial of a former president in us history. >> nothing like this has ever happened before. it has never been anything like it inside the courtroom. >> jury selection began in his hush money trial. more than half the first group of 96 prospective jurors were dismissed quickly after saying they could not be fair or impartial. >> we're not asking people to not have any view of the former president or michael cohen. what we're asking is that people can put their personal views about these people aside and look at the facts presented to them. >> the process of picking 12 jurors and six alternates could take weeks, with the presumptive republican nominee for president

notoriety, trump faces 34 felony counts, alleging he falsified business records. they sent her on a $130,000 payment his former lawyer, michael cohen, made to adult film star stormy daniels to keep her from talking about an alleged affair with trump. ahead of the 2016 election, prosecutors say trump falsely logged repayments as legal fees. >> what the prosecution will have to show is that trump had the intent necessary the intent to commit or conceal another crime, and i think that other crime will be federal campaign finance violations. >> it's an assault on america. and that's why i'm very proud to be here. this is an assault on our country. >> trump has pleaded not guilty and denied the affair. the trial itself is expected to last six weeks, four days a week, with trump required to be present. >> it will be historic. it's solemn. but by moving his campaign to court, what he's doing is posing extreme challenges to the american legal system, the american

constitutional system, to american politics. >> with seven months to the general election, trump continues to label this and the three other criminal cases against him as a politically motivated witch hunt. he said he's willing to testify, adding his name to a potential witness list that includes daniels and cohen, the narrator of the story. >> one of the things that donald and his legal team are trying to do is every day it's to discredit me. >> greg lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> it is april 15th tax day, and the internal revenue service says this filing season has resulted in higher refunds for many taxpayers. the agency says the average refund is a little more than $3,000. that's about $120 more compared to last year. the higher refunds are due in part to adjustments to tax rates, an increase in the standard deduction, all designed to help offset inflation. the irs says it's delivered more than $200 billion in refunds as of early this month. president biden and the first lady

released their tax returns today . according to those returns, their income rose 7% to nearly $620,000 last year. the couple also paid $146,000 in federal income taxes. biden announced his latest tax plan today in a social media post. he said, quote, under my plan, nobody earning less than 400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in federal taxes in the race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo in the district 16, and historic recount is now underway. >> the primary election resulted in a two way tie for second place. right now, assembly member evan lowe and santa clara county supervisor joe simitian are set to join former san jose mayor sam liccardo in the general election. but as ktvu an rubin explains, this recount could change that. >> inside the registrar of voters office, there's a flurry of activity. this is day one of the district 16 congressional race recount, a recount that could break an unprecedented tie.

>> we have a bunch of our staff, as you can see in the background, the working hard, retrieving all the ballots. and there's a lot of precincts to retrieve. >> this is happening in santa clara county and in san mateo county. two. >> this is a machine recount, so that means it'll go relatively quick. but before we do that, we have to do what's called a logic and accuracy test on our voting system. >> as it stands, three candidates are headed to the general election. sam liccardo, who garnered the most votes. then evan lowe and joe simitian, who tied for second. both of them are now at risk of losing their spot in november if even one additional vote is found. the front runner, sam liccardo, who got the most votes in the primary, actually does have now the stronger incentive. if he would prefer to be in a two person race rather than a three person race, and calling for a recount won't be cheap. the man who did is santa clara county resident and one time liccardo staffer jonathan padilla. he

said on x, he finds criticism of the recount baffling. of course, most of us aren't willing to pony up, you know, $80,000 plus. i mean, i love democracy, but i don't have that kind of cash lying around. evan lowe said on x. i have not called for a recount, and i oppose one, adding, we still don't know who is paying for it. joe simitian released a statement saying, quote, it is yet another hill to climb, but i'm reassured by our democratic process, which is prepared for these unlikely scenarios. a tie, a recount liccardo's camp says, quote, every vote should be counted. and that's why recounts are part of the state's electoral process. to ensure accuracy. >> transparency is so critical for the integrity of elections, so we're excited about it because we get an opportunity to showcase what we do here. >> the actual machine recount is expected to start in the next 24 to 48 hours, and should last about a week in santa clara county. ann rubin, ktvu, fox two news. >> layoffs in the tech industry

hit tesla. the reason the carmaker is letting go of nearly 10% of its workforce also had the youngest and tiniest preemie baby at alta bates is going home after six months in the nicu. >> the recovery doctors are calling it a miracle

stand on more evidence that investors may have to wait longer than expected for lower interest rates. the dow is down more than 248 points. the nasdaq taking a hit down 290. that's nearly 2. and the s&p was lower by 61 points, just over 1. a new report on us retail sales came in ahead of estimates, raising fears that the federal reserve will keep those interest rates high to battle stubborn inflation. investors and energy experts are closely watching how

iran's attack on israel over the weekend could affect crude oil and gas prices, according to triple a, the current average for a gallon of regular unleaded here in california is up $0.10 from last week to about $5.45 in san francisco, it's 575, oakland's average 564. and in san jose, it's $5.60. industry experts do warn an escalation in the conflict there in the middle east could lead possibly to a spike in crude oil prices after a dismal first quarter, tesla is reportedly planning to lay off about 10% of its workforce. >> ceo elon musk detailed the plans in a memo sent to employees, saying he is examining every aspect of the company for ways to reduce costs. the layoffs could affect about 14,000 of the roughly 140,000 tesla workers. it is not clear how many bay area workers would be impacted. it comes as tesla reported declining deliveries and demand in the first quarter. abbott laboratories has given notice that it will be closing its

fairfield location later this year and laying off nearly 200 employees, according to paperwork filed with the state. abbott says 195 employees will be laid off and the plant will be closed. >> we are tracking the weather. it's warming up a bit, warm a little bit today. warms further the next couple of days. i'll have that forecast right around the corner. >> all right. now to alex savidge and a look at some of the stories we're working on for west coast rap coming up at seven alex. >> mike thank you. tonight at seven we'll get back to today's pro-palestinian protest that popped up in cities all across the west. we'll show you how the heated debate over the war in gaza has southern california law enforcement maintaining a heightened presence in certain areas. also, a legal battle over homeless encampments in oregon is headed all the way to the supreme court. we'll break down how this case could affect communities across the country, those stories, and much more. tonight at seven on west coast rap. and of course, that's followed by the ktvu fox two news at 730 with heather holmes.

we got through it? >> the hospital sending paris and sarah off in a tunnel of love as members of her care team cheered them on. >> i'm going to remind her probably every day how much of a fighter she is and just how strong she is. and as she's able to conquer anything that she puts her mind to. >> sarah will continue with outpatient care services after leaving the hospital, and paris is most excited about sarah going outside and experiencing fresh air for the first time since she was born six months ago in berkeley. crystal bailey ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, a pretty nice day out there today. it started off cloudy. started off pretty cool. then temperatures in the 50s most of the morning. and then things heated up nicely. we got into the 60s 70 degrees in santa rosa. that was the warm spot. these were the official national weather service highs from today. tomorrow's highs will kind of come up maybe another 5 or 6 degrees. so we'll see lots

of mid 70s tomorrow. pretty nice day overall. and that's the trend. this entire week is just sort of a mild to warmer right through the week. when i say mild mid 70s mid 60s to mid 70s right through the week, i don't know. we might see an 80 degree reading, but it's all just hovering right there which is fine. green showing up on the live camera shop. everything's green. it's got a ton of rain last few months and it's continuing to green up the hillsides in there. still green. it's amazing though, if you notice, as we get into well, heck, as we get into june, it doesn't take long for them to turn brown again. it's amazing actually, but in the meantime we can enjoy the green as it sits. the high pressure is going to stay put, and this high pressure is going to basically just keep us dry, keep us warm, allow the fog, the coastal fog to reestablish itself to some degree. so that's the story. this whole week. and quite frankly, that that could be the story the next couple of weeks. the models are indicating that

that pacific high, the big high that sits here is, is likely to stay put and long range models. right. but this week it is so we'll see how that goes. but we aren't going to be wet. we're going to see pretty pretty mild conditions right through the week. pleasant. and then of course hay fever tree pollens mostly tree pollens. right now will start to be bothersome as we go through the next. certainly the next 3 or 4 days forecast overnight lows above freezing and then the model. so this is tomorrow morning and this is the whole week is the subtleties are pretty subtle if you will. we've got like a few clouds, a few clouds. and then wednesday more clouds, wednesday afternoon a few more clouds. and then thursday more clouds. and that's why temperatures on thursday will come down a little. just the clouds are the thing that are going to keep us out of the 80s. i suspect the forecast highs for tomorrow. very pleasant. microcline it's setting up. you got the mild to cool coast, mild to warm around the bay and then warm and pleasant inland. there's a five

day forecast. i'll pop sunday in here too. but like like it says little change. no big changes coming as we go through this entire week. >> good looking stretch. all right bill thank you. the giants get some great defense and timely hitting in miami. nice grab jayson applebaum has that story coming up next in sports. >> and a quick reminder right now that you can get ktvu on demand on your smart tv through the fox local app. you can watch live newscasts and see all kinds of in-depth content from our newsroom on a variety of topics. it's a free download for your smart t

he just said, to make stuff like this fun as the ten seed, the warriors, now they're going to have to win two straight games in order to make the playoffs. >> first up is a trip up i-80 for a win or go home matchup with the sacramento kings. 7 p.m. tip off from golden one center and the warriors. they come in hot over the last two and a half months. only the boston celtics had a better record than the warriors, who were 27 and 12 over that span. it's the vibe and it's a good vibe. >> and obviously we're in a in a tough spot. we've got to win two games just to get into the playoffs and anything can happen. but i do really believe in this group and i believe in karma. i think this this group has earned some some good, some good karma. so we'll see what happens. >> all right. speaking of good vibes, warriors. guards. chris. paul moses moody had some fun on their way to chase center, for

up his second save. and in boston, a very authentic first pitch by former nfl tight end rob gronkowski. he's known for his spikes. he didn't spike the football, so he spikes the baseball. it's kind of genius. yeah, because everybody loves it right. and you know how guys sometimes are people throw crazy pitches and they bounce them or no risk there right. that's his personality. >> yeah. >> he's just doing his thing doing his thing. >> and he looks good doing it. so rob gronkowski nice first pitch. >> hey congratulations to cameron brink stanford product going to the meeting. great for h . n to watch
