for their work during world war ii. well today legendary stanford women's basketball coach officially announced her retirement leaving an impact on the sport that she helped propel into the mainstream, i'm anne makovec in for liz and ryan. vanderveer's coaching career spans more than four decades. she leads stanford as the ncaa all-time leader for men and women. vanderveer has been an essential part of the growth over the years when she first started at idaho. and fast forward to now and nearly 19 million people tuned in between the undefeated south carolina and iowa led by mega star caitlin clark. that is $4 million more viewers on monday night. we have a closer look at

the coach who would help blaze the trail for the sport she loves. >> i have to pinch myself and just say wow, what, what a ride. >> reporter: when she took the job in 1985, her own father didn't think he would hear his daughter say those words. >> i called my daughter to tell him i was leaving ohio state. he proceeded to tell me that it was impossible to win at stanford and that it is a graveyard job. after more about how crazy i was, i interrupted him and he hung up the phone and told my mother she would be living with us in three months. >> reporter: and last 38 with the cardinal, winning three national titles, winning more games than any other college basketball coach in history, men or women. >> and that job involved

digging. instead of a graveyard job, it has been a gold mine job. >> reporter: her final job was an epic overtime win against iowa state in the second round of the ncaa tournament back on march 24. >> we couldn't play another game in naples. this was an awesome game. sometimes you are ready and i never really thought i would be where, you know, it just felt like maybe i would peel over on the bench. i mean because i love it, i love it. >> and the coach takes over as coach. now we would stream the live coverage of the announcement on cbs news bay area. you can hear all the websites today on our website. and you could really see how they warmed up today where

they would hit 80 degrees as we found kids cooling off downtown. of course, it is still april. a look at exactly how warm it got and a reminder that it is only still april. >> it is just like you said as we made it to 80 in san jose and topped out at 79 or 80. the city, san francisco had a 70-degree day so far. and tomorrow we're going to get a little warmer than this. what we will do is use the virtual map and then you'll going to see a lot more 80s show up here. your numbers are going to the 80s. concord will hit 82. if we get down to the south bay tomorrow, fremont should make 75 tomorrow, but you'll be in the lower 80s once again for thursday. this is the peak. by friday, a lot of these numbers are probably going to be in the mid-60s. on saturday, you may not get out of the 50s, so a big change coming. the system heading our way will be dropping down out of the gulf

of alaska, where it will have a pretty fair amount of rain on it for saturday. just a quick look at that and a little preview to show you where that is coming from and the gulf of alaska. very cold air mass will get caught up in that and watch that thing wind itself up and throw us a direct hit right there. that is saturday morning's widespread rain. so when we get back together on the complete forecast, we are going to focus almost exclusively on timing that out and putting totals on it, finding out how salvageable sunday might be. i'll see you with all that forecast in a few moments. >> thanks, darren. it's been one year since oakland cleared out their largest homeless encampment on wood street. and they helped relocate the people who lived there. amanda starrantino spoke to two residents say 12 months since the eviction, they are

still struggling to survive. >> reporter: once home to more than 200 people, the wood street encampment is now a shell of what it once was. ford said he helped build it. >> at first we thought it was nothing. but it's really sad. >> reporter: he says they cultivated a community and it saved his life. >> it meant the world to me at that time where i came out here to commit suicide. instead i found the community that's standing besides me now. there is nothing they wouldn't do for me. >> reporter: ford says they turn other people's garbage into his homes. his life has deteriorated. >> since then i've been arrested. my addiction has picked back up. but being transparent helps me a long

way. >> and many are struggling, they died since the resident was just struggling to get by. >> they exect miracles. but if you have a word, what would we did? >> just a block from card street. >> somebody told me this is how i could spend my retiring years, i'd laugh. >> reporter: she doesn't feel safe anymore and she wishes this wasn't her reality. >> i didn't use this. it was not my choice. i would love to pay rent. i really would. >> to have anything available for us after this. >> reporter: ford walked through what is left behind, disappointed by what he saw. >> and that blight you see,

yeah, it sickens me. a lot of it is illegal dumping. >> reporter: ford says the city doesn't provide the encampments to dispose of their waste. he wishes the city let them keep the encampment where he says they were providing a sense of community and mutual aid for those experiencing homelessness. >> because we did reduce the number for arrests. we did see a decline in addictions. we did provide things for people to do. >> reporter: caltrans cited safety concerns for their reason for closing this encampment. but people who used to live here say they are less safe now. >> when the camp closed last year, the city said that 39 people accepted shelter at cabins, and 11 moved to a safe rv program. we reached out for an update on how many campers had stayed in housing and have not yet heard back. >> there are changes happening in the area. next door is the future home of oakland's

newest baseball team, the ballers. underway with games slated to start in june. if there will be a recount for a tied race at a seat in congress. helping to vie against sam liccardo. and in that march primary for the south bacon gregal seat. there have been two arrests for a finance director for the mayoral campaign and another for san mateo county supervisors. lawyers are determining whether those requests are valid. getting ready for a high-profile trip to china. the mayor is facing a tough fight. the candidates have been trying to win votes from the asian american community. reid got a formal invitation from xi jinping. her office plans to meet with several business and community leaders in china with

the goal of stimulating economic growth, expanding tourism, and growing diplomatic and cultural ties with san francisco. reid says she is hoping to build on the momentum from last year's apec summit. >> to receive an invitation and to come to china and talk at these opportunities is important to the long-term success of san francisco. >> and planning to meet with the mayor of san francisco to promote the 40-year long sister station relationship with the city. >> thousands of times, where a bay area lawmaker wants to reduce what he calls unnecessary calls to police. >> and they slammed his head to the floor. at least three times his size. pressed his neck down

and you know he was in pain. >> we have an in depth report coming up at 5:30. police in san jose are looking for the person who might have started fires in the bathroom at the bathroom at san jose state campus library. and there have been two separate incidents in just over a week. both in the library bathroom. students tell us that it is still disturbing. >> realistically it will come down to what's the point? like what are they trying to gain from that, you know what i mean? putting the students, the non-students. either of which in their library that there is children in the very bottom too. so it is just all going to tie together as of why. >> i don't know why they would do that. i guess for attention is what i would normally think about. >> campus police are asking anybody with any information to

come forward. still ahead. many bay area muslims marking the end of ramadan with heavy hearts. these celebrations across our region today. we were just riveters. >> a congressional honor of a generation in the making. women who went to work on world war ii finally getting their day on capitol hill. a trio known for keeping their san mateo coastal beaches clean has a new twist on celebrating earth day. here is your hint. their story coming up.

a terrifying moment at a religious celebration in philadelphia. at least three people were hurt during a shooting at an event marking the end of ramadan. police say two groups of people started firing shots at each other, causing panic amongst the crowd of about a thousand people. this is at a park where an event was being held. five

people were taken into custody. four weapons were recovered. police say the shooting was not related to the event. hundreds of worshipers gathered to pray in san francisco to celebrate the end of ramadan, the muslim holy month of fasting. worshipers say ramadan is about patience. now they celebrate the three-day feast after ramadan with a special prayer ceremony and plenty of food afterward. >> it was a beautiful experience. and just to see the unity of the muslim community come together and pray under one platform. >> this is his first celebration in san francisco and called the experience a very warm welcome. in san jose, the islamic association hosted their own eve celebration at the expo center. families marking the day of the food, face painting,

fun for all ages. we spoke to an imam who has a message for everybody this eve. >> we want to say to everyone, may you have a blessed day. may the blessing include us all. and from our hearts to your hearts. enjoy today. it's a day of unity and a day of love and mercy. >> in gaza today. thousands of displaced palestinians would try to mark the holiday as best they could. they gathered outside the encampment of tents to pray and show support for one another. the holiday will come amid continuing israeli air strikes. an attack on the gaza strip this morning killed three sons of the hamas leader along with four of his grandchildren. israel has confirmed the deaths saying that they were hamas military operatives. in response, hamas said that targeting family

about her age to get a job >> i was putting what was called the deicer on the b25 and that we didn't know. we were just riveters. >> reporter: and california, one of the youngest at 96, labored in agriculture wile still in high school. >> i said what did i do? but i thought, well, i'm out here and i'm working for the war effort. that is important. and i'm sticking it out. >> and what does it mean? >> it means that i did my country good during the war that i would help somehow. >> reporter: the women also share a bond of having loved ones, husbands, brothers who served. >> women who particularly had not been noticed as much as the man they were going to serve. >> reporter: they say their work on the home front made a difference too.

>> among the rosies honored, two women who worked here during world war ii. they worked at a shipyard in richmond. all right, turning back to our weather now. it was a lovely one across the bay area. first alert meteorologist darren peck is here with a little more of rain on the way. time it out for us if you will. >> saturday morning, but there is a lot in the details on that. the first thing is as wonderful as the temperatures are with a lot of low 80s. i'll go back to the notion. saturday's daytime highs with a common number here. we will be noticeable cooler by the weekend. if we would come in for a closer look at that forecast imagery now, a handle of the system that's driving all this. looking at the map for the last several days that will show it's a great way to visualize how different kinds of air masses are going to be transported. watch what happens as you can see the big warmth each afternoon. all the while

doing the afternoon warmups. there's the big pool of cold air coming our way, settling in for the weekend. and that is one way of visualizing the storm. just looking at the air temperatures in it for the mid levels, where we will be colder air. let's look at the storm itself. it's coming from the gulf of alaska. now watch it spin itself and pull in some rain and that same system now. that's what it looks like if you visualize it with the rain instead of the air temperatures. now that's kind of, you really couldn't have better aim than that. so this is coming down from the gulf of alaska. in four days, it will be right over us. let's slow that down. here comes the leading edge of rain and the main band will come in there on saturday morning, widespread rain. then we get the center of the system that will come in where it will be more on again, off again showers. if we step that down one more time and watch it as we would get into late friday night. leading edge in the north bay. then in the predawn hours, we really kind

of get this perfect alignment right there and they move across. that is how saturday morning will go and saturday afternoon. it is really kind of scattered again, off again hitting the showers. if you want to see what happens after that, the longer range forecast to pick out sunday and sunday still has leftovers. it shouldn't be an all-day rainout by any means, but we will have that system around and a chance for rain from it. when we would get to the seven day, sun is going to look as impressive as saturday does. they are both pretty rainy looking tubes. but saturday is by far the more impressive day for the bulk of this. so we are going to pick up an inch of rain for the whole period, but they will happen on saturday before sunrise. when you get into the afternoon on saturday and sunday, there could be an occasional thunderstorm mixed

in there and those could happen anywhere. if you get one of those, they are really limited in extent. if you happen to be a place that will get over you, there's a brief downpour with that. as a result, we are still looking. just messaging the system in an interesting way. the weather prediction center does not often look at california from an excessive rainfall standpoint. they are on this one, but only the lowest degree of concern where we are in that 5% chance. and maybe even shifted really down to the santa cruz mountains. a 5% chance for maybe localized flooding. that's the kind of rain here. it's a small chance and something we're not stressing in our forecast. i don't see the system having the ability to do that. but the fact that the weather prediction center did deem it at least worthy of coloring in a part of the map. just elevates the awareness that the system has got some decent rain, an inch worth of rain. that's pretty good for us. all right, see, sunday was going to look just as rainy as saturday. but the reality of it, it's more scattered showers, then

we're done. by next week, maybe we're not going back to the 80s like today. but we will be back into the low 70s. not bad. i'll see you with more on this. back to you. >> thanks. coming up next, just in time for earth day. a new effort to save the whales off the bay area coastline. the san mateo county residents that are teaching their neighbors to protect our gentle giants. they caused attention to the biggest mammal in the whole way. that's threatened what's coming together, just simply magic. and one california city announcing drastic me

a trio who has led the way in keeping san mateo county beaches clean is launching a whale of an idea for earth day. sharon chin has an update on some 2022 jefferson award winners. >> reporter: that's right.

lynn adams, jim fithian, and adam garcia want to make a splash for their non-profit's annual earth day celebration. hey guys, have any of you seen this whale? >> i think it is a sperm whale. >> that's a good guess. >> reporter: lynn adams shows students a giant skull displayed outside ocean school of pacifica. it's a heads up for the excitement to come on earth day. >> what is coming together is simply magic. >> reporter: we first met lynn, jim, and his wife, anna garcia two years ago. they're leaders at the pacific beach coalition. its volunteers cleared more than 200,000 pounds of trash. now they're diving into a new earth day event, celebrating the whales that migrate along the california coast. >> they pay attention to the biggest mammal in the whole world that's threatened. even

though we've had protections, they are still challenged by a lot of things. >> reporter: the west coast has seen an unusually number of the gray whale carcasses, hundreds of them washing up on shore over the last five years because there wasn't enough food on their migratory route. the national oceanic and atmospheric investigation would recently confirm that trend was over. they hope to do their part teaching people how to protect the whales and their environments. >> that's taking autothe way in. >> reporter: children get a preview that will demonstration where they sleep. >> this is copying. >> we have someone doing whale poetry, which is something unusual that i was like what? we have poetry?

>> we will do double time now. >> even a special dance in keeping with the themes. one of the second grader is making her contribution. >> sometimes i even have to go back for another bucket or two because of the trash. >> reporter: i want people to think about whales and to take the next step, right? what are we going to do? pacific beach coalition leaders hope people will leave them ready to share their own tail of how to save the whales and their home. >> the best will be held on earth day, saturday, april 20 at 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 in the afternoon. the north lot of the beach in pacifica where they will be there with fellow leaders. >> that is real cool how they are doing that because you need to bridge that gap with the animal that people can't normally see or touch or hang out with. >> yeah, a lot of these

activities, they will be four students led by students, which is kind of fun. >> very cool. getting them excited early. thank you so much. you can nominate your local hero for a jefferson award online on our website kpix.com/hero. coming up at 5:30, we will talk a lot about school violence. but sometimes critics say it is coming from police. the california students belong in handcuffs on bay area lawmaker who wants to change the rules. why would we want to criminalize being a child? >> and california's biggest city now banning dog breeding. the reason behind that decision. we still have a long way to go when it comes to taking care of the farmworkers in our country. >> today's civil rights icon turns 94 years old. she's reflecting on her incredible achievements and how far we
