temporary backup of supply trucks trying to enter the tesla plant along kato road. that roadway has since reopened, and no word yet on any arrests. >> protesters also caused major traffic backups on interstate 880 in oakland this morning. the demonstration took over the northbound lanes at fifth and embarcadero around 615 this morning. dozens of chp officers in riot gear watching as the protesters waved flags and painted the colors of palestine on the center median of the highway, officers said. protesters attached themselves to 55 gallon drums filled with concrete, which made it difficult to remove them from the roadway. the chp says seven people were arrested on 880 northbound. all lanes of 880 reopened by 115 this afternoon, and protesters also gathered at the southbound entrance to the nimitz freeway at seventh street so they could get up onto the freeway itself. some of the demonstrators used their bikes and their own bodies to keep the on ramp closed. as a result,

port officials say all container terminals were forced to close, shutting down operations at the port for the entire day. protesters say that was the ultimate goal. >> i can't speak for what the further actions are going to be, but i know that the fight for palestinian liberation is into liberation and reclamation. we will not stop until the palestinians have gotten all their land back from the river to the sea. >> the chp says. five protesters were arrested at this location, and the golden gate bridge also targeted by demonstrators today. >> they chained themselves together through a number of vehicles, causing traffic to shut down in both directions of 101 for nearly five hours. as ktvu is amber lee reports tonight, more than two dozen demonstrators are now facing possible felony charges. >> the california highway patrol says 26 protesters were arrested for a demonstration that shut down traffic on the golden gate bridge in both directions. for hours, they had chained themselves to vehicles and refused to move. they were taken

to san francisco county jail. an activist who is a spokesperson for the demonstrators on the bridge says none of those arrested have been released, so the fact that they're being held overnight is kind of concerning, and we're just waiting to hear what might happen and hoping they get released soon. the chp says. the protesters were arrested on multiple charges, including two felonies conspiracy to commit a crime and false imprisonment. >> and you can protest any which way you want, but it is unlawful to block a roadway and to prevent people from getting to work. emergency, personnel from getting to help people. >> demonstrators say they had deliberately planned the protest here in the bay area to coincide with others across the country for april 15th, tax day. they say they want the spotlight to remain on the situation in gaza and stop u.s. aid to israel. >> coordinated global effort. we are saying that enough of our tax dollars from the united states, one of the largest, the

have some clouds coming in and out. it doesn't get real hot. we're going to be dealing with 50s low 60s, coast 60s around the bay, 70s to upper 70s inland. and then if you go far in like sacramento, probably pop in 80, it's because of this high pressure. it's also allowing the fog to reform off the coast. we should see it back tonight in some iteration. we'll see how it looks. this morning it was everywhere. tomorrow morning it's going to be clear when you wake up. most likely most of us will be clear when you wake up and be more sunshine and temperatures consequently will be warmer than they were today. it's that simple. the winds are kind of light right now out of the northwest as i was going to point out with that, as this high pressure, the way it sets up and this time of year, the pacific high creates a northwest wind which blows the sea surface temperatures in one direction. and creates upwelling, which makes this cooler water come to the surface. the cooler water allows more fog formation. it's a feedback loop, and that's beginning and has been going on for a few weeks now. but it will continue. and that's summer in the bay area, even though we're
