the crimes. as thom jensen explains, this request comes as o'connor faces a slew of new accusations. >> reporter: shannon o'connor already faces 39 criminal counts for allegedly throwing alcohol-fueled parties for her son and his friends. evidence suggests o'connor offered the teenagers massive amounts of booze and some were as young as 14. she then encouraged and sometimes facilitated sexual assaults against some of the kids who had either passed out or were drunk. now, she wants to know how much time she could get if she admits to the crimes. prosecutors are asking for the maximum sentence. 15 alleged victims and parents told the judge today how their lives were affected by the drunken parties and assaults. >> it really allows the judge who is making the decision to see personally how the actions of the defendant have affected the victims. >> reporter: we're not identifying the victims, but one teen fought back tears as they said, quote, i will never have

fling and hand washing. next from down home and downtown, we move to the hills of oakland where all day long, the space and science center has earth day presentations. there are weather systems above. looking at the planetarium. the theme is seeing earth from space. then, a place out of this world, you'll head to san jose. not to a launch pad but near the airport at the doubletree hotel for a costume conference, all about costuming. inspired by comics and fantasy and sci-fi. inspiration from thetheater, fi and tv. a casual and laidback convention. remember, check out our news, weather and traffic weekday mornings here on "today in the bay." >> we always do, mike. thanks. time now to check in with meteorologist rob mayeda for a look at the microclimate forecast. it sounds like you're saying it'll be a beautiful earth day.

around san jose. check out the temperatures toward concord, fairfield, santa rosa, the warmest spots for your saturday could be close to 80 degree temperatures. a little cooler with that persistent sea breeze. san francisco and the coast, highs in the 60s. low 70s bay side from oakland to hayward. could get drizzle tomorrow morning as the weather system passing by to the east keeps the best shower chances out of the bay area. that's going to lead to a cooldown with that stronger sea breeze and morning drizzle tomorrow. we'll see low to mid 70s for most inland locations on sunday, and a downward trend of temperatures around san francisco and half moon bay. as we move forward into monday, temperatures drop a little more inland, upper 60s to low 70s. short-term cooldown as high pressure builds in once again. wednesday and thursday, this looks to be a summer-sized ridge of high pressure. look at that, tough not to be distracted by the seven-day forecast. they'll climb up.

program is one way working to fill the gap. by tapping into the criminal justice system, training the incarcerated to learn to fight the flames to gain skills for post-incarceration. >> had opportunities to assist with some fuel management activities over at stinson beach and other places throughout the bay area, where they had a chance to practice and develop their fire fighting skills. >> i never had the -- somebody to push me, you know? so when i came into the program, they pushed me. then my mindset sort of shifted. it was like, oh, this is the opportunity that i've been, like, wanting. >> the new round of cadets will graduate the program today in oakland, which is also on earth day. to learn more about this program and our climate in crisis, visit our website, nbcbayarea.com.

little room somewhere many years ago, what does that feel like? >> the adoration or the acceptance, everybody wants to be loved and accepted. i'm no different. i mean, we're up there on stage, razzle-dazzle, but we're very insecure people on the inside. so you do want people to show up. you do want people to love what you're doing. you want to be accepted. after the second song, the applause went on for a long time. i got very emotional. i mean, i was crying. show must go on, so mascara down the face, whatever, you have to keep on going. >> sit-down with reba mccintyre. plus, the headlines and another life well lived. airing at 6:00 a.m. in the bay area. if you're not up on a sunday at that hour, set the dvr and we'll see you whenever you're ready for us. >> thanks, willie.

see you tomorrow morning. hopefully you're awake to catch willie at 6:00 a.m. and stick around to catch us on "today in the bay" at 7:00. here's a quick look at the top stories we're following this saturday morning. breaking news out of the east bay where a deadly shooting in hayward happened early this morning. the alameda county sheriff's office just confirmed with us that someone was, in fact, killed. police received a call around 2:00 this morning and responded to a hookah lounge. they say it's been closed for years and it has been cited for operating illegally in the years since. per a reliable source, there was a gunfight that started in the lounge and spread out into the street. it's unclear how many people were involved in the shooting. a portion of mission boulevard between cherry and grove ways in hayward remains closed while police investigate. now to a crackdown on drug traffickers in san francisco and an effort to combat the city's opioid crisis. governor newsom made an unannounced visit to the tenderloin on wednesday after

receiving calls for help from the city. newsom announced yesterday a joint effort by the california national guard, chp and sfpd will hold accountable drug dealers or poison peddlers, as he called them. the goal is to dismsmantle drur trafafficking rings. today is national drug take back day. it is a safe and free way to get rid of prescription medication you no longer need. the livermore police department is one of dozens participating in every county across the bay area today. the police departments will accept prescription medication that's expired or no longer needed. that includes opioids, no questions asked. in honor of earth day, the east bay regional park district is holding cleanups as well as planting projects. you can see the list on your screen of cleanup locations throughout the east bay park district. if you want to attend, just register on the park district's website. and on our website, we have a

whole page dedicated to fighting climate change. go to nbcbayarea.com and click on the climate in crisis tab there on our home page. i am clearly having trouble talking, so i'll turn it over to meteorologist rob mayeda for one last check of the forecast. >> the weather is great. >> yes. >> all the earth day events there. find out more on the website. we have sunshine in downtown san francisco. inland areas, how do 70s sound today? we'll probably get there by lunchtime today. good day to get outside, participate in the coast and bay cleanups we have around the bay area. more information on the website as we talked about. look at the temperatures inland. concord and fairfield, we could see 80s in reach today. 80 in santa rosa. 76 in novato. san francisco and the coast, enough of a sea breeze and the fog hanging out around the golden gate bridge like it typically does, keeping temperatures there in the 60s and low 70s toward oakland. this time tomorrow morning, we'll get more low clouds coming in. we'll have chances of, i think,

some drizzle l returning to the forecast for sunday morning. temperatures do come down a little bit into monday. we're still in the 70s inland. the bigger story, i think, by wednesday and thursday, is the fact that a lot of our inland areas could be climbing to the mid 80s, meaning san francisco could see low 70s toward the middle part of the week. >> wow, sounds beautiful. when i hear drizzle tomorrow, i'm, like, groaning, but it's nice that the rest of the forecast is beautiful. >> temporary. >> yeah. thanks, rob. thanks for making us a part of your morning. more local news at 5:00, 6:00 and 11:00. we're always on at
