her 99 years. >> i find myself just like everybody else. >> meet the oldest living miss chinatown coming up. and the brain trust behind a highly anticipated new pro sports franchise continues to take shape. >> i'm just really excited to collaborate. this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. >> good evening. thanks for joining us at 6:00. we have some major developments tonight in the middle east. the day began with hope, people dancing in the streets of gaza as hamas announced it accepted a ceasefire deal brokered by egypt and qatar, but that hope was quickly dashed. israel rejecting the deal saying the terms are nowhere close to meeting its demands. at the same time israel ordered palestinians living in rafah in southern gaza to evacuate immediately as the idf prepares its assault on the city. let's come back to the bay

area and look at this, a much different sort of negotiation, something we have not seen during any of the other ongoing protests at college campuses. >> reporter: in a first of its kind negotiation, encampment protesters here at sf state sat down with the university's president to share their demands with her in person and also get her response in realtime. it's a negotiation that lasted just around a half hour and was attended by hundreds of students here on campus. >> i'd like to give a very warm welcome and thank you to our san francisco state university president, lynn mahoney. >> reporter: sitting face to face just feet apart surrounded by students, faculty, and media, pro palestinian student protesters who set up the encampment in the middle of san francisco state's campus laid

out their demands to sfsu president lynn mahoney. >> we are students. we are faculty. we are staff demanding for the csu and sf state university to divest from all companies in partnership which actively participate in the colonization and ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people. >> reporter: the students here at sf state, like so many other student protesters across the country, are demanding the university not only divest from companies that do business with israel, they also want the university to disclose all of its investments and also defend the rights of pro palestinian speech on campus and declare their support for the palestinian people in gaza. >> just as mahoney and sfu praised the 1968 federal liberation strike, we demand sfu president lynn mahoney publicly oppose the bill and our right to protest speech and assembly. >> reporter: president mahoney promised to work with student

protesters saying she was willing to meet with representatives as soon as possible and work with them to meet some of these demands. >> we can have two conversations. one is about what full transparency would look like and how we can make it clear to anybody who wants to see how san francisco invests its funds and spends it, but the second is to take another look at that investment policy. >> reporter: in the end president mahoney and the student protesters left the conversation to be continued. both sides seemed happy with that result. >> appreciative of my students willing to have a conversation with me. >> reporter: what's the next steps? >> we'll continue the conversation. >> i feel very confident that she has appeared to be very open to our conversations and moving forward with the majority of our demands and we're looking forward to continuing to have these conversations and looks like we are going to be making very steadfast progress into their implementation. >> reporter: student protesters say while these negotiations are still ongoing, this encampment in the middle of campus will remain. it's still

unclear exactly what the timeline on resolution will be. >> but it was a much different scene at other college campuses, arrests taking place at uc san diego. demonstrators have been camped out for six days on this campus. police are tearing down encampments, making arrests and students being taken away. >> we'll never be defeated. >> after those students were arrested this is a look at protesters trying to block the sheriff's department bus from leaving. university police say 64 people were arrested here, about 40 of them being students. arrests made at ucla after protesters tried to take over a parking garage on campus this morning. ucla canceled all in-person classes today because of the ongoing protests. columbia has also canceled its university-wide commencement ceremony. the university says smaller ceremonies will still take place over the next couple weeks. they say they made the

decision after discussions with students. as of now, we are not aware of any planned disruptions to local commencements. berkeley's ceremony is still this saturday, the 11th. sonoma state is the following weekend. st state will be the one after that and stanford is not until june 16th. all four campuses have active pro palestine encampments. coming up at 6:30 on the cbs evening news, we have a live report from tel aviv on where the ceasefire negotiations are headed and how the biden administration is responding to the assault in gaza. let's take a live look outside around the bay area. let's get right to chief meteorologist paul heggen for a detail on the warm-up coming our way. hi, paul. >> jules, after a weekend that felt more like the middle of winter than spring, the whole different kind of weather pattern will take over. temperatures will warm up. we're not going to set any

records in all likelihood. friday will be one of the warmest days, looking at our forecast highs compared to record territory. the spot we're closest to a record high is one of the coolest locations, half moon bay, forecasting a high just below 70. the record high is just above 70. otherwise those records are a good 6 to 15 degrees out of reach compared to where we'll top out later this week. if you want to think of it in terms of the threat of overexertion with the warm weather, it's only going to be a moderate heat risk. the wind will pick up. solano county is under a wind advisory tomorrow night through thursday. we'll look at wind gusts hour by hour in a few minutes. >> thank you. some other stories we're following around the bay area, in oakland normally we see sideshows in the middle of the night, but police say a burning car was all that was left over from a sideshow in broad daylight. this is citizen app

wow, yesterday was the snowiest day of the season in the sierra nevada. this is according to the uc berkeley central sierra snow lab which recorded 26.4 inches of snowfall yesterday. that's 2.6 inches more than the previous record. that was set march 3rd. i actually had to go back and relook at this copy again going wait, is this accurate? >> really? >> we're talking more than two feet. >> so it's not the biggest storm of the season. >> okay. >> because it happened in the course of one day, it adds up

to be the greatest daytime accumulation of snow. the others were spaced out over a couple days. >> saturday was crazy. then we'll have the flip side coming up. >> right. complete weather whiplash from a taste of winter to a taste of summertime in three or four days. let's get to the details. get ready for some significantly warmer temperatures. they are on the way, not quite yet tomorrow. we have to return to normal temperatures first which will happen tomorrow, back to near average high temperatures across the entire bay area tuesday. the offshore winds kick in wednesday when temperatures start to really spike. the heatwave or warm spell doesn't peak until late this week into the weekend for inland parts of the bay area, a little earlier around the bay and along the coast as long as offshore winds are with us. as we look at downtown san francisco, seeing marine layer cloud cover in the distance but not too widespread tonight. temperature is only 57 degrees in san francisco, a cool day. temperatures elsewhere are in

the low to mid-60s, 60 degrees now in oakland. later tonight with mostly clear skies overhead and a few patches of fog, there's nothing to hold warmth near ground level. we'll be a couple degrees below average early tuesday morning, mid- to upper 40s to near 50 degrees, some of the coolest spots in the north bay valleys in the low 40s. temperatures bounce back, not as much closer to the water, burlingame mid-60s. love this picture. temperatures warm up greater this week. get your up about some exercise if they don't like the warm temperatures. get out earlier in the day later this week. let's look at the high temperatures tomorrow which will be within a couple degrees of average for early may, low 70s in the santa clara valley, low to mid-70s inland in the east bay, around the bay a mix of 60s and low 70s, 71 degrees for a high in redwood city, not that mild along the coast, not losing the onshore wind yet, 59 degrees at half moon bay, mid- to upper 60s in

san francisco and oakland and in the north bay reaching the low to mid-70s as well. the winds will be noticeable. in fact, they're noticeable now. let's look at the hour-by-hour wind gusts after our ten-day temperature trend. this is the ten-day temperature outlook for livermore. you can see the roller coaster ride we're in for, climbing the rest of the week and peak close to 90 degrees inland by saturday and retreat through the weekend into early next week but staying above normal. here are the hour-by-hour wind gusts, noticeable breeze this evening. our cameras have been shaking around. the wind pivots tomorrow turning north, not too strong yet, even tomorrow afternoon, but definitely an offshore component to the wind taking over. especially on wednesday that will allow temperatures to warm up and dry the atmosphere out. some gusts in the 30 to 40-mile-an-hour range for the higher elevations of solano county and napa county and 40 plus-mile-an-hour gusts possible the first half of wednesday when we have a

wind advisory in effect for solano county. the winds are whipping for the middle of the week. fortunately, with the rain a couple days ago even with these offshore winds reducing humidity levels, i don't think our fire threat will be much of a concern thanks to the moisture recently. the wind will be dispersing plenty of pollen, medium category tomorrow, but the medium high category wednesday, thursday and maybe up to the flat out high category for the pollen county later this week as temperatures warm up. temperatures warm up rapidly for inland parts of the bay area, around 90 degrees friday and saturday, the first real stretch of warm weather so far this spring. temperatures back down to the low 80s sunday and monday, still well above normal. temperatures around the bay won't climb as much but still close to 10 degrees above normal thursday and friday, mid- to upper 70s before retreating to the low 70s heading through the weekend.

along the coast the last time temperatures warmed up for most of the bay area, the coast kind of missed out, not this time, around 70 degrees thursday and friday which is a reflection of the offshore wind pushing the marine air away from the coast. >> everyone gets to take part in a bit of sun. >> exactly. coming up, when we come back, there are station wagons and then there is the actual wagon car, the story behind this unusual ride and why its

if you are in the market for a new car, there's one up for auction in alaska, guaranteed to turn heads. you won't run into another car like this, a big red wagon that comes with plenty of room to haul new memories. judy foster owns the car and named it radial flyer made of foam, fiberglass and plywood and totally street legal we're told. >> it's so much fun to watch people because they smile and they wave and they take pictures. >> i like to think of it as a driving photo booth because no matter where you go, when you park, people want to take a picture right next to it. >> judy and her husband fred would take the wagon to car

shows around the country, but when fred passed away in january, judy worried about maintaining the car. so she made the decision to pass the handle by putting it up for auction in anchorage. bidding ends on mother's day. we're still looking at where the bidding even starts. wonder how much something like that costs? cbs evening news with norah o'donnell is next. we're back in 30 minutes with more news at 7:00. thanks for joining us! ♪ ♪ >> tornado on the ground. >> norah: severe tornado threat, we're tracking what the national weather service calls a rare high level risk with more than 50 million americans in the path. >> big damaging hail and the wind gusts could be 50, 60, and 70 plus miles an hour. >> norah: plus the dramatic rescues in texas after heavy rain flooded the area. >> we lost everything. the damage is all the way to my waist. >> norah: the "cbs evening news" starts now. ♪ ♪
