exactly what we plan to do. >> we also want to be able to cut off the source of how these drugs, how this fentanyl that is killing people in alarming numbers is even getting to our neighborhoods and communities in the first place. so, this is definitely something that is going to help make a difference. >> an example of how bad the problem is, they did search warrants in oakland and confiscated 10 pounds of fentanyl, that has the potential to kill over 2 million people. calling on the national guard and the chp comes days after governor newsom made a visit to the tenderloin community , and they captured this video of the governor going to a meeting with the attorney general. he asked the governor what he was doing about the fentanyl crisis and the governor responded, that is what he was here to find out. you are not going to be seeing armed national guard soldiers controlling the streets in the tenderloin but we could be seeing more of a chp presence in the area, and exactly what this looks like and the timeline is still being worked out.

degrees. for the most part, we are keeping it. it'll be a little bit cooler for sunday and monday. concorde is the example , on sunday and monday, the numbers are going to come down a little and then they are going to go right back up again and wait until you see wednesday and thursday , i will show you that in the seven day forecast, it'll be a little bit of a roller coaster. in general, warm is the new theme. back to you. police in san jose took a juvenile into custody after bringing a loaded gun to a middle school, they responded to hoover middle school after getting a tip over the phone. the officer took the juvenile into custody, no threats were made and there's no ongoing danger for the school community. a close call for a pleasanton man who was nearly run over by a truax truck, sitting inside his own home. luckily, he escaped with only minor scrapes and bruises, and we are told the tow truck driver accidentally slammed his foot on the gas yesterday , sending him flying through the wall.

littered across san francisco and it's going to take a huge effort to take care of all of them. this is a big job. >> reporter: it is one that a lot of people may not think about, when you're walking through the downtown area, we are out in the mission district, and they are called the friends of the urban forest, they say this is a perfect example of what the city is dealing with. you can see this street here, there's a few trees lining the street but not a ton and they say this has been one of those streets that was affected from this winter storm. now the friends of the urban forest are trying to replace those trees and add even more, but that can cost a lot of money and that is why they are trying to get help from the city. i went out earlier with the executive director of the friends of the urban forest to see what goes into planting all of these trees. >> this is a strawberry tree

and it gets these really cool flowers that turn into little fruit that you can eat and it actually tastes like strawberries but they are not strawberries. four brian knows a lot about trees, he's the executive director of friends of the urban forest, that is a nonprofit that plans and cares for thousands of trees across san francisco every year. >> this is a purple beef flowering plum, it gets beautiful white blossoms. >> reporter: these trees survived what was a record stormy winter , unfortunately, brian said hundreds of other trees in the city did not. >> we are waiting for some of the final numbers from public works, but it is due to the fact of the circumstances that i talked about, extreme drought followed by heavy rain and high wind. >> reporter: that is a problem because while san francisco may seem like a very green city, it falls behind most other major

cities when it comes to its amount of trees. >> only 14% of our streets and sidewalks are covered by trees, that is less than new york city, less than los angeles , and less than any major city across the country. >> reporter: and that was before the winter storms, they are going to need all the help they can get just to replace the trees that were lost. it's not just helping planting but also help with funding. he says just one tree can cost them thousands of dollars to plant and care for. >> we rely on the generosity of donors to support our work , as well as volunteers. but we also rely on public support because we believe that street trees are a public good that everybody can enjoy. we are calling on the mayor and board of supervisors, everybody that was involved in the city government to make a commitment to help us and others replace what we lost. >> reporter: we reached out to

the mayor's office to see if they plan on including funding for friends of the urban forest in this year's budget. they sent us this statement saying, unfortunately we are facing uncertain financial times. that means we will need to make hard decisions, but we are actively working with city departments on budget proposals as we manage the city's nearly $780 million budget deficit. and any decision made will be a part of the final budget presentation in early june. brian told me he understands the city's budget deficit but believes planting new trees , especially after the winter we had should remain a priority. >> we climate change, bringing more extreme weather to the city, it is a necessary investment in green intructure that is going to help protect us . >> reporter: whether or not they get that funding, brian says friends of the urban

forest will continue to replace as many trees as they can afford. >> that seems like a lot of money just to plant trees. did they explain why? >> reporter: yeah , i think that is something that is very surprising, you think of a tree as a one-time purchase but the friends of the urban forest say a lot more goes into it. this is an example of one of the trees they have planted so not only is it the cost of the tree which can cost hundreds, up to thousands of dollars, but the friends of the urban forest actually maintain these trees for 3 years after they are planted. that is to try to help them grow , there's a lot of different things that can go into this, with cars hitting the trees, that kind of thing. if you are watching this and thinking i want to help, there are ways that you can. the friends of the urban forest takes private donations. they also accept volunteers. if you want to come out and plant a tree, you can do that.

thank you so much. let's check in with darren peck, those trees provide a lot of shade, especially on these sunny days. >> and a lot of pollen, too. >> such a downer . >> can you make sure you are not planting any ash trees because there are many of us that would appreciate that. i want to show you the comparison, we will start out by looking at oakland, that is a look from the salesforce tower. oakland did not get as dramatic of a warm-up as other places on the other side of the hill. 67 degrees in oakland is not that far off of the average. if we look across the bay, there are 80s showing up. santa rosa, 82. concord, 81. let's come back to san jose and show you the next few days. as we look over downtown, 76 is pretty nice. we will go a

little bit cooler over the next few days, specifically sunday and monday, tomorrow is the exact replay. but you do cool down a little bit to start off the week, then there is more of a warm-up coming. when we get to the seven day forecast, wednesday is warmer than tuesday. in terms of your weekend, we have to give a little bit of the friday warm-up back. there's a lot of orange. if we look at saturday, that transitions a little bit. you can see why when you bring in the mainstream, it's going to be a little bit more of an onshore push tomorrow. if you are near the water, your average or maybe coming down a degree or two for saturday. the majority of us don't notice any difference on saturday. on sunday you will because that onshore push is going to allow the marine layer to fill back in. that is sunday morning. we will wake up on sunday and have the low clouds around, and that will bring the numbers down . sunday into monday are

the two down days where we have to give some of this back. if you look at saturday, the temperatures are pretty much in line with today. sunday, a little bit greener and the numbers are little bit lower. around 70 for most locations. let's look at saturday in detail. a lot of upper 70s, for the santa clara valley, low 70s on the east bay shoreline, san mateo is 71. numbers for the east bay around 80, concorde 80. there's really no change over here. tomorrow looks and feels like identical to today. over here, it does come down a couple of degrees, not much, but you are staying average. if you're in the warmest northbay valleys, you're not changing much. you will see for the northbay, you are cooling down a bit as well on sunday and monday. there is san francisco. you can see the change for oakland. there is a

little bit of a drop sunday. northbay valley, you are going to be back into the low 80s by the middle of next week. and san jose, same story. and the inland valley for the east bay show that same trend. the beach doesn't really change that much at all, it's that time of year, it'll be right around 60. back to you. still ahead, new rules at great america, why some people will have to be accompanied by a chaperone. students in one bay area school
