sunny around the central bay along the coast. pretty cloudy today. gray skies, peeks of sun, temperatures coming down along the coast and into the bay. still staying mighty warm in our inland areas, but down from the 90s. so we will not experience 90 degree readings today. it will be a bit on the breezy side. we're looking out towards rio vista and there's that great slate that we have been alluding to, and the camera is wavering just a tad there. we'll get to those temperatures. and also a peek at the wind speeds, but right now it's 52 degrees in alamo willow glen sporting 60. otherwise, most reporting stations are in the 50s. now. the winds are pretty breezy this morning towards travis air force base and also in fairfield. calm conditions in nicasio and novato . now, meanwhile, the winds are calm in mountain view and at mineta international airport. but a bit of a breeze in half moon bay. so we do have the low clouds and the fog just hanging tight to the coast of california. upstream this is an

area of low pressure that's going to just make a dent in the huge dome of high pressure. and as it does that, it cools us down with the influx of that marine layer pushing inland. so here's a look at our future cast this morning. you could see for the first time this weekend we have seen the clouds penetrate the central bay and march towards our inland areas. but everything retreats about 1:00 but hangs tight to the coast. and at 105 today, we do have the san francisco giants playing host to the cincinnati reds. they won big yesterday. we're going for two in a row. game time temperature at 63 degrees. the winds will blow out of the west southwest at 13mph. and yeah, tomorrow the dodgers come into town. how about that? if you're getting away for this mother's day, 95 degrees in sacramento. back in through stockton. we're talking about 64 and the greater lake tahoe area. high 80s in throughout fresno. lots of fog and low clouds in san diego not maxing out at 67

the first time since 2019. the water year runs through september, but researchers say it's already a safe bet to pencil in a win on this year's water report card. when the lake is full, it can provide enough water to meet demand for the next three years. >> well, that is definitely great news. well a new survey revealed what gifts moms really want on their special day at the top of the list, going out to eat or drink. that's followed by flowers and then something handmade. the survey found that the top thing mom wasn't moms want isn't something you can buy. it is time with family and loved ones. so we want your opinion on this. it's our question of the day. what do moms really want on their special day? three options there to choose from. just head to ktvu.com/vote and weigh in. we have going out for a meal 56% right now are weighing in on that and saying that that's the top winner. i would have to agree with them. really? yeah. >> you want a brunch or a lunch, a nice dinner, something where i can be with my family and not

cohen. the prosecution's key witness, cohen, will detail the alleged scheme by former president trump to pay off stormy daniels and reimburse cohen for paying her. so daniels story of an affair with trump would not damage his 2016 campaign. trump denies having an affair and also falsely labeling the repayments as a legal expense to cover up their true nature. the defense will likely question cohen's credibility. cohen served time in prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion campaign finance violations and making false statements to congress. >> the prosecutors have put all their chips on michael cohen being a persuasive, credible witness which, to say the least, is an enormous risk for the da's team. >> former white house aide madeline westerhout also wrapped up her testimony on friday. she testified that trump was a multitasker who would sign documents without reviewing them. sometimes that could undermine the prosecution's argument that trump was aware of the $130,000 payment to cohen. the manhattan district attorney's office says they may rest their case by the end of

was on the hot day yesterday. five year old boy accessed the water from behind the house on bethel island. the warm weather is ushering us into summer, but it's also a time that firefighters, public safety officials, moms and dads everywhere want everyone to stay safe. and it's important to stay vigilant when around the water. >> the child was rescued by one of our rescue swimmers and was then transported by ground to sutter delta hospital. >> yeah, the contra costa fire department showed up. they transported that child to sutter delta. we do not know the status of that child. they were in the water for about 15 minutes. it's a good reminder as we get ready for summer, that we need to be vigilant. whether you're on water craft or in a pool, folks say that you should never be more than an arm's reach away from a child.

>> this is the first really warm day so far this year. so parents and adults who are watching children need to keep in constant visual contact of their children and when the child is by the water, they need to be wearing a life vest and wear that life vest correctly. all people who are by the water should be wearing a life vest because if you fall in it, only takes one gulp of water to submerge and drown. >> and swimming lessons are recommended by the american academy of pediatricians. they say that you can start swimming lessons for your child as early as one year old. it's important to have your children be in life jackets when near open water when on a watercraft. in fact, it's the law. any child on a watercraft on waterways has to wear a life jacket. many lakes and streams and rivers are accessible to children, and we don't want anyone to get hurt. so it's very important that families remain vigilant and get your kids signed up for swim

sheriff acknowledging their completion for the last 12 weeks, the men with no background in construction turned what was a grass filled lot inside the jail into a construction site. >> they hammered, they drilled. learn how to read blueprints. >> let's go. multiple people can start scrolling. >> some didn't even know how to read a tape measure, but they learned they leveled the foundation. >> they did the grading. they did the elevation. then they set up the forms for the concrete. they poured the concrete. >> and all this learning wasn't just meant to keep the men busy. the classes were taught by a member of the laborers international union of north america. >> this is going to go here, tomas. >> all these men are getting certified in jobs. they have learned here anything from first aid, cpr, osha, ten grade check in to construction fundamentals. the 20 certifications received means they can walk out of the santa rita jail, walk into their local union offices, and find work in construction that pay a living wage.

your way down the line. >> the fruits of their labor are evident on this lot. this building is their handiwork. and so is this awning. and even the picnic table where they sit. eating lunch was built by their own hands. thanks to a grant from the bureau of justice assistance, a grant that will help the men even after they're released from jail. >> once they get released here, part of our grant is we'll pay their initiation fees and their first three months, plus their basic equipment. so their hammer , tool belt, all that stuff is all funded in this grant. so all these two boxes on top of the roof, let's do it right. >> that's how we learn. >> if we truly want to see people reentering our communities with a clear vision as to what they're going to do so they can stay out of incarceration, whether it be in a county jail facility, whether it be in a state facility. we have a responsibility to give them some tools to be able to achieve much more than just getting a job that will pay minimum wage. >> starting salaries for the men are expected to be about $40 an hour. jail representatives say hundreds of men are interested

>> this is the first really warm day so far this year. so parents and adults who are watching children need to keep in constant visual contact of their children. and when the child is by the water, they need to be wearing a life vest and wear that life vest correctly, all people who are by the water should be wearing a life vest because if you fall in, it only takes one gulp of water to submerge and drown. >> yeah, we don't have the status of that child as of now, not sure whether or not he's okay, but this is a good time of year. get the kids signed up for swimming lessons. anytime you're around a pool, watercraft, water safety, tools should be used, such as, life jackets and life vests in some of the parks and regions. they do offer those free for day use. so it's encouraged that families not only teach their kids how to swim, use life jackets when near bodies of water, and it's a good

time to also keep your children within eyesight whenever you're around a pool or body of water. i'm live in benicia. back to you, ali. >> i'll take it all. good advice. thank you. alice. hundreds of people in the bay area stayed up until early this morning to watch another spectacular light show in the skies. they wanted to witness the northern lights, which illuminated the nighttime skies both around the bay area and all across the country. a spectacular look at this. astronomers say a rare and a severe solar storm created a magnificent view not seen in our skies above northern california. and a good 20 years and many excited stargazers decided to spend their saturday night at the chabot space and science center right here in oakland. >> you never know where it's going to pop up at, really. so we're just kind of lucky that we're getting such a good view of it. >> we've never seen the aurora borealis before, and so i thought, hey, if i can see it

be emotionally helpful for new mothers facing health complications. upon returning to the office. >> postpartum depression. the estimates for women, they vary depending on the source, but on average, what we tend to see is about 15% of individuals who have babies are diagnosed. >> gabriel says a postpartum depression diagnosis can occur at some point in the first year after giving birth, so that means it's not just important to support people right when they reenter the workplace, but throughout the entirety of that first year and beyond. gabriel also suggests companies that show mothers they care about their work and home life have better odds of retaining those employees. i'm chanley painter, fox news. >> well, the flower industry is expected to see more than $2 billion in sales for mother's day celebrations in san francisco. the vendors at the flower market worked overtime to complete mother's day orders. the san francisco flower mart says this year's mother's day holiday is bittersweet for some of the longtime businesses

the greater lake tahoe area, actually, and the greater santa clara valley, where currently at the rose garden district, it is 62. and these temperatures are all averaging up to five degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. it's breezy in rio vista and in fairfield and cordelia as well. otherwise, winds are pretty much under ten miles per hour will be sustained today, 10 to 15mph with the stronger gusts. so here we go with our storm tracker. you see the marine layer. it is hugging the coast side of the state of california. all because of this trough to the north of the bay area. that's going to provide a bit of a dent in that ridge of high pressure. so we see a stronger influx of the marine layer, and the temperatures will come down slightly as a result. so here we go with our future cast by 1:00 this afternoon. everybody clears except right there at the beaches. and at 1:00 today, our san francisco giants are playing host. it's the third game. it's

team. >> former white house aide madeline westerhout also wrapped up her testimony on friday. she testified that trump was a multitasker who would sign documents without reviewing them. sometimes that could undermine the prosecution's argument that trump was aware of the $130,000 payment to cohen. the manhattan district attorney's office says they may rest their case by the end of next week. in washington. madeleine rivera, fox news. >> a boy rushed to the hospital after he disappeared under the water. you'll hear from firefighters about the scary rescue and the warning. >> with our recent hot weather and more diversity in sports, front office says. up next, a look at a new group that is working to help latinos secure leadership roles.

because if you fall in, it only takes one gulp of water to submerge and drown. >> and that's exactly why the american academy of pediatrician says, get your kids familiar with water, but never have them out of reach. whenever you're near a body of water on boats and watercraft always makes sure it's the law that children are wearing a life jacket. as for adults, it's never too early to learn how to swim. no one ever wants to hear these stories that we bring. so frequently this time of year. this is a good time to look into getting swim lessons for yourself and your kids, and if you have other children, don't ever leave them in charge of the smaller children. when around the water. i'm live here in benicia. back to you. >> all right. alice was there in the east bay. thank you, alice, for that new this morning. evacuations at a hotel after a fire. firefighters called to the fire at the broadway hotel in the city. this is on polk

shout out to, you know, the whole staff and organization that will be coming out and just donating their time, right. there's a band, a friend of mine, dyson. the voice, will bring his band and they will be singing all night. some beautiful songs, live band. and we just want to provide that, you know, it's going to be beautiful, man. so the women out there and we hope to see, beautiful smiles and faces and let them know, at least for one time, that they can still feel appreciated by, you know, the covenant of family and love. >> i can tell you are your moms are on your minds as you were planning this. i'm sure you'll be thinking of them tomorrow night when this is going on. can you talk a little bit about you lost your mothers, but what, what you want to do in their memory with this? >> keep representing. my mom was my best friend. yeah. and i feel like, you know, this morning, i woke up as i do every mother's day, i cried, got it out. listen to a record that me and a friend of mine, rexx life raj did, called, you know this. this is for you, mom. and i cried, i got

out. i'm not going to lie. i got my tears out this morning. but i'm happy. i'm happy because i'm living in purpose. and i'm continuing the promise that i told to her that i would keep going. i would do what i had to do to continue to evolve as, you know, as the man i am, as the father i am, to the mothers in my life. you know, libertys mother legacy's mother, happy mother's day to them. and i just want to continue making her proud. >> and i'm pretty sure same thing, same for me. you know, my mom, she. she was very important to me, you know? so i'd like to make another mom feel that same importance, you know, that she gave me, you know, have her happy, you know, proud of me. >> you know, i'm sure they are both. they would be both very proud of both of you guys. so thank you so much for sharing this story and the work that you do in the community. we're going to let people know about it. thank you for coming in and sharing all that with us tomorrow, monday, 5:00 to 8:00.

>> pierre pierre, there it is. >> there it is. we have all the details for you there, 5 to 8 p.m. thanks again, both of you, for coming and joining us in the studio. >> thank you so much, corey. i love you so much for getting this on and we appreciate you and happy mother's day to all the mothers out there. we love you. >> happy mother's day with that. we'll send it to another mother out here. joining us this morning roberta gonzales ali and those gentlemen, please give them a big hug for me because that hit home. >> i've lost my mother and my mother lost her son. so i'm right there with you guys. thank you for holding this blessed event tomorrow. all right. it is mother's day today. we're going to keep it going through your monday as well. your sunday forecast. it's going to be cooler all the way across the board today. partly sunny skies around the bay. barely any clearing kochai because of that. right there. but look at that marine layer. it has been gradually thinning out hour by hour. so therefore the visibility along the coast has been improving five miles. they're now up from one mile

visibility to three miles in santa rosa, otherwise eight miles around the central bay. we have temperatures in the 50s everywhere except for fairfield. now at 60, we have 63 degrees across the santa clara valley. these temperatures are up to seven, eight, and nine degrees cooler than yesterday. at this time. so you'll feel the difference as you get on out to walk the dog this morning. nine mile per hour winds in napa stronger than that around fairfield and travis. five mile per hour wind at the seashore. but that will be increasing to 15 today. that wind does usher the pollen around. so if you suffer from allergies, and i believe everybody does anymore, it is the tree count that's on the medium to high side. so high pressure is right here. there you have the marine layer. there you have a trough. that trough is going to put a dent into the ridge of high pressure. that's a little minor area of low pressure with some convection activity that will spark a thunderstorm today in the high sierra. otherwise pretty day a very lovely day. in fact, today

and tomorrow. so when will that fog burn off? really barely any clearing at the seashore. where? at 1:00 today, 105. it's first pitch with harrison on the mound for the good guys. he's a lefty, 63 degrees, a bit of a breeze. so you know the drill. heading to oracle park. dress in layers 60, beaches, 6070 around the central bay to the 80s in our inland areas. so those 90s are out of here. a more seasonal day with cooler conditions for your monday, and it will be a quiet weather pattern each and every day. and from my heart to your home. happy mother's day to all! enjoy your sunday. >> thanks, roberta. and as you heard her mention, as we've been talking all morning, today is mother's day, of course, and we're going to tell you some of the top things mom wants in case you need to do a little shopping before youee her today.
