now care is working with the doctor's family, reaching out to the state department and congresswoman anna eshoo to reunite the doctor with her two daughters and husband in the bay area ahmad talked with his sister today and says despite the challenges, she remains focused on helping people in gaza. her main concern continues to be, you know, medical supplies are low, you know, being able to provide services is difficult. he says. he still doesn't know why his sister is not returning home with the other american doctors, obviously is a level of frustration. and so far, the doctor's family says they've been given no timeline on when she might return home. in a statement from palo alto foundation medical group, where the doctor works in san carlos, her colleagues said they're also working with the white house and the state department to bring her home in the newsroom. marianne favro nbc bay area news. new at 11 disturbing messages found in a campus dorm

back on may 17th, 1924, took 327,000ft of lumber and 63,000 pounds of steel track to build the half mile track. it's the, as we mentioned, one of the oldest ones in california still running very cool. all right, giant dipper, i have been on it many times. i enjoy it and i prided myself the first time i was able at the crest to put it up, and i never, i never, ever changed. it's faster than you think. you get on it. you're like, wait a minute. yeah, what did i just get into that once you're in? yeah, it's too late. yeah. you know, and nice weather for the fireworks tonight. not too windy, but for other parts of the bay area. going to be dealing with a little more wind during the afternoon tomorrow. the reason why those east bay valleys ridge cooled off today. the ocean air conditioning on overdrive. right now in san jose, 59 degrees, partly cloudy skies. we'll see a few patches of low clouds into the morning. right now as you head over to

walnut creek 55. still, the southwest wind at 12mph out at the airport. sfo right now seeing 57 degrees, a little low cloud cover there near san mateo, and patchy low clouds around san francisco 53 degrees. so tomorrow morning, patchy low clouds, areas of drizzle possible. speaking of santa cruz, down along the south coast and parts of the south bay clearing, but turning windy for sunday afternoon and then a brief early week warm up on the way in the 7-day forecast. look at the wind right now into solano county that continues to bring in that marine air, but it's the wind on the coast will be watching for the afternoon. these areas in red showing up bodega bay, sonoma coast, marin county coastline could see those gusts 30 to 40mph. and also san francisco and down the peninsula for the afternoon. by mid afternoon and evening wind speeds starting to pick up a little bit like today, but more intense in terms of those peak gusts around the north bay coastline as we wrap up the weekend. so look at the effects on the low cloud cover. it's going to act a bit like a leaf

blower. it's going to mix in some drier air and start to clear the low clouds. once we pass the morning hours, there's a drizzle near santa cruz, but more sunshine as we wrap up the weekend. but that wind out of the west northwest will likely limit our temperatures from warming up a whole lot for the afternoon bay to breakers starting off in the low 50s with patchy low clouds approaching 60 around midday. and in terms of the rest of the bay area low 50s to start with the areas of low clouds to the south and then sunshine and increasing wind heading towards the afternoon weekend temperatures inland, wrapping things up in the mid 70s. still 60s closer to san francisco and oakland now for monday and tuesday. kind of a two day warmup for those inland valleys. mid 80s around the tri valley over to solano county, 80s around san jose, down towards morgan hill. then temperatures cool off again as we get towards wednesday and thursday. the reason why high pressure really can't set up and warm up our temperatures. a whole lot will be systems passing by to the north. doesn't look like it's going to bring showers here at times. perhaps for the sierra as we head into that memorial day weekend right

now. but a little bit of a cool down as we approach next weekend. so some wind for san francisco tomorrow afternoon and less wind for our inland valley should allow temperatures to climb a little bit by midweek and then trending cooler again as we head towards next weekend. not too shabby. no anthony flores joining us now for sports. and those san francisco giants suddenly looking explosive. that's right a great day for the giants especially at the plate. the giants had a season high in hits and runs against the rockies. luis matos sparked the offensive explosion today for the orange and black stick around. sports is next

are lighting up the scoreboard with a season high two touchdowns worth of runs against the rockies, a milestone game for luis matos. bottom one with two on, matos strokes the deep three. he had three of the giants season high 18 hits in

the game. now we move to the bottom of the eighth with the bases loaded. matos rips a two run single. he had a career high six rbi. he sets the franchise record with 17 rbi in his first six games of the season. with at least one plate appearance, the giants hammer the rockies 14 four behind an historic performance from luis matos. man, that's a lot of rbis, it just seems like he's tracking the ball. you know, every time up and aggressive. you know he's wearing that left center field gap out. it's like player of the week stuff that he's doing right now. all right. the a's in kc to take on the royals down two in the second seth brown crushes one to center. that ties the game at deuce. but the royals answer with some muscle of their own. kyle isbell goes yard. and the royals go on to beat the a's five three. oakland has lost seven in a row to golf. third

round of the pga championship. former calvert colin morikawa with the all around good putt. get in there. he shot a four under 67. he's at 15 under par. he's tied for the lead with xander schauffele heading into tomorrow's final round. catching freedom moving down the center of the track. but wayne lucas has got it. seize the gray wins the preakness. oh i love that energy. seize the gray with jockey jaime torres holds off kentucky derby winner mystic dan to win the preakness stakes. 88 year old hall of fame trainer d wayne lukas wins the preakness for the seventh time. on the pitch. the quakes hosting orlando city. it was scoreless until the 89th minute. jacqueline scores the only goal of the match. orlando city beat san jose one. nothing the quakes have. it's their 1h loss in0t a slow network is no network for business.

it's ok. >> announcer: and now a message from former president donald trump from his new home, the barricades outside of a manhattan courthouse. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] greetings, everyone. and thank you for coming to visit me in my cage at the zoo. i'm really enjoying these post-court press conferences in this very weird and depressing hallway. i don't like being in court because they say very mean things about me while i am trying to sleep. [ laughter ] but i love being out here in the hallway outside court. daring judge to imprison me. he gave me a gag order. i said that sounds like a challenge on rupaul. [ laughter ] but you know, in many ways court has been great for me.

it's been very eye-closening. [ laughter ] unfortunately, at the end of this trial it looks like i'm getting a very harsh sentence and being sent to a horrible place i do not want to go to. the white house. [ laughter ] i do not want to go back to the white house but it appears people want to send me there. why? i don't know. i couldn't tell you. for me much better to not win and say it was rigged and then get very rich raising money to stop the steal and you never have to do president again. i like that a lot. [ laughter ] we should do that. but now my defense in this trial is about to begin on monday. and trust me, i would love to testify. i'm not afraid to testify at all. i'm just not going to out of fear. [ laughter ] you see, they do a terrible thing when you testify, which is they write it down and we don't like that. that was a juror. did you see her face? everyone just saw her face, and now her life is over, folks. my people are going to

screenshot her face and dox her to hell. we love to dox. got to pull the kids out of school, sweetie. [ laughter ] pull the kids out of school. they call her juror 9. but to me she's like a 6 maybe. [ laughter ] oh, get over it. now, a lot of people are asking about my vp. we love to say vp. vp! like veep with elaine from "seinfeld." she can't dance. but i'm not going to announce my vp pick just yet. in many ways it will be determined by the winner of the jake paul-mike tyson fight. so we'll be watching that very closely. [ laughter ] but i have invited a few names from my short bus -- i mean my short list. [ laughter ] to come to court and do a little dance for me. they're supposed to be running the country but instead they're sitting in porn court hoping i'll smile at them. it's really sad. it's very sad. first we've got south carolina senator tim scott. >> yeah! [ cheers and applause ]

>> that's right. senator tim scott in the hizzouse. and i'm here to help trump win the black vote. specifically my vote. no other black votes because black people do not like me. >> it's true. i'm more popular than you among blacks. which is really saying something. >> people have called my support of trump humiliating. but trust me, i am my own man. when donald trump says jump i don't say how high. i say here comes the jump i was going to do anyway. [ laughter ] >> next of course we have a total sweetheart and frankly kind of a hottie boom-bati. it's south dakota governor kristi noem. >> nobody move or the puppy gets it! i'm kidding. it's a fake dog. but it's a real gun. [ laughter ] >> you know, kristi could be an interesting pick for vp. because on one hand she shot a dog, which you really can't do.

don't shoot dogs, folks. she jumped the shark when she shot the dog. fonzie. but on the other hand, she shot a dog. which is pretty awesome. >> i kill goats too. >> okay. you're making it worse, sweetie. kristi noem, everybody. and finally, my last and favorite choice is a man i can't stop talking about. in my rallies. it's the late great hannibal lecter. [ laughter ] [ applause ] there he is. look at him. i keep calling him late and great even though he's not dead, he's not great, and he's not real. but i think he would really scare everybody at the border, right? can anyone else see him or is it just me? [ laughter ] okay. get him out of here. we're done. he's giving me pence vibes. i don't like that. [ laughter ] well, i should probably wrap this up because it's almost summer. and i promise it's going to be the summer of trump. you're going to get that trump espresso. [ cheers and applause ]

so many fun things to look forward to. i'll be selling more trump bibles. but this summer i'm doing jewish bible as well. they call it torah. do you love bible but think jesus was just a regular guy? then pick up trump torah. [ laughter ] and then of course i'm going to be doing another january 6th, this time in july. going to be fun. you see all those guys back at the capitol but this time in shorts. [ laughter ] and finally, just remember, if you're tired about hearing all of my trials, all you've got to do is vote for me and it will all go away. [ laughter ] so in the words of my hero and mentor the late great hannibal lecter, live from new york it's saturday night! ♪♪ >> announcer: it's "saturday night live"! with --
