300,000 doses last week. they were expecting a shipment of similar size this week. just to give you little bit of context, when you get that much vaccine in a single week this is what it enables you to do. as of thursday of last week they gave out almost 40,000 shots in a single day. you can just imagine that at that pace, how quickly they can get everybody the shots that they need. the other big story this evening, jurors weighing the fate of former minneapolis police officer charged in the death of george floyd. let's take a live look in minneapolis. that large group marching to the downtown area, demanding justice for floyd's family. michael george on today's closing arguments and unease over what happens next. >> reporter: the fate of derek chauvin is now in the hands of a jury. the entire nation will be watching the outcome and many say the criminal justice system self is on trial here. >> the truth of the matter is, that the reason george floyd is

normal for this time of year but because the wind will been elevated to the night, the fog is not going to be as thick. they will be cloud cover still as we head into the early hours of tuesday morning but it will be a little above ground level, sitting right on the ground in most spots and it should dissipate pretty quickly. by late morning, unobstructed his abilities in most locations, plenty of sunshine as we head to into the afternoon to try to warm up temperatures because of the wins. they are not drop quite as much as they did for most of last week. mid to upper 40s and low 50s by tomorrow morning, it will start air mass. a little cooler inland, but not bad at all. oakland and fremont reaching up to the mid-60s, for the north bay, mid-70s, santa rosa, santa clara valley little bit cooler. highs th safrancisco and along the coast,ther y of high temperatures in the 50s and you can get used to that pick a couple of degrees warmer of deg
