so peaceful. i'm sure they'll find it a beautiful place in the pittsburgh area, but, yeah, that is good living right there. stunning. maybe even retire. he was like, hey, i don't need football anymore. oh, definitely. that's what i would have done. but anyway, i don't have that problem. all right, that's going pro-palestinian protesters calling for the university to sever its ties with israel. >> a new report highlighting the economic obstacles facing california. we're live with the lead researcher to look in depth at the new data, and it's a win win for art lovers and local artists as well. >> we're live this afternoon with the upcoming auction that's aimed at supporting artists with disabilities. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is the four protesters angry about the war in gaza have taken

over a building that's owned by uc berkeley. >> it's just two blocks away from that campus. welcome, everyone, to the four this afternoon. >> i'm alex savage, and i'm heather holmes portions of that building now tagged with graffiti and with banners hanging down as well, making demands for the university and the biden administration to stop, to stop giving money to fund the war in gaza. >> organizers of the previous protests that happened at sproul plaza on the campus say this is a different group of demonstrators. ktvu jana katsuyama is live right now at the site of this latest demonstration, which is right at the corner of channing and bowditch. janet, what are we seeing there? >> well, alex and heather, since yesterday, when they first came with their tents, they've put up this barrier that i'm standing right next to, of different pallets and other pieces of board. there are about 15 tents that are here. and so far it has been very quiet, the protesters say that they do not want to make any comments or talk to the media, and instead say they're

going to be putting out any comments on their instagram page for people's park. a uc berkeley spokesman says this was a vacant building. the group again the university says, seems to be separate from the group that was at sproul plaza. >> we are treating this site as an active crime scene. this is not, as far as we're concerned, a nonviolent, civil disobedience protest. there are an estimated 60 to 65 suspects trespassing on university property and vandalizing a fire damaged building next to people's park. we have confirmed that the coalition with whom we reached an understanding on tuesday did not initiate this action. >> and as of this afternoon, i mentioned there are about 15 tents that have been put up, along with many signs palestinian flags with messages calling for an end to the war in

gaza and some community members from here in berkeley have been stopping by to look at the site, also with berkeley, copwatch and so i brought some things for them to, you know, know their rights in case they get arrested. >> and i'm not necessarily here to take a stand on why they're doing this. >> they're not bothering anybody , but i don't think they should be there in this particular area . they can protest all they want. i have no problem with that. i'm more concerned with that being a fire hazard. >> this building formerly housed the institute for the study of societal issues. and on the back side, it's just across the street from people's park. the university says that this building is not safe. it again, was damaged in a fire several years ago and had been boarded up. so the university says that is one concern that they have is

just for safety reasons. and the vandalism that's going on right here, they say with the graffiti . >> yeah, heather and alex and janet, we heard there from the uc berkeley spokesperson calling this an active crime scene. it sort of begs the question, how long is the university going to wait before they go in and remove the people inside that building? >> well, i did ask what the plan is for the next steps. if they plan to call police, if they're going to have uc berkeley campus police come in, the spokesperson said that they were not going to give any information about what their next steps are. we have seen throughout the block occasionally a campus police officer, a uc berkeley police officer, but there have been no, clashes with the people here. so at least for today, it has been very peaceful. >> all right. our jana katsuyama reporting live for us this afternoon there in berkeley. jana. thank you. >> in the meantime, uc regents are expected to approve a plan to limit political speech on university websites. the regents

voted on that plan today, concluding a three day meeting on the uc merced campus. the plan prohibits employees from posting personal views on prominent campus web pages. pro-palestinian activists who addressed the regents at the meeting called the plan a quote, blatant attack on free speech. uc says the idea for the restriction began in 2022, while the president of sonoma state university has been put on administrative leave for insubordination after an agreement with pro-palestinian protesters, csu placed mike lee on leave yesterday for making an agreement without the appropriate approvals. >> protesters moved out of their encampment there at sonoma state after lee announced the agreement. it included an academic boycott of israeli institutions as well as divestment strategies. state senator scott wiener calls the deal between lee and the protesters horrifying. >> we can have whatever opinions we have about the war, i have

strong opinions about the war, and i've criticized the israeli government. but regardless of one's view of the war, when you talk about let's do this like boycott and try to dismantle the israeli economy, that is one half of all jews on the planet. >> lee issued a statement today saying, quote, in my attempt to find agreement with one group of students, i marginalized other members of our student population and community. i realize the harm that this has caused, and i take full ownership of it. i deeply regret the unintended consequences of my actions. >> more critical humanitarian aid will soon be on its way to palestinians in war torn gaza. the us military has now finished construction of a huge floating pier anchored off the gaza strip. hundreds of tons of aid being screened in cyprus is expected to be loaded onto ships and then delivered to that pier in the coming days. meantime, in washington dc, house republicans are trying to reverse president biden's freeze on sending a shipment of weapons to israel as it plans to invade the gazan

city of rafah. democrats are calling this a political stunt by republicans. >> we will have israel's back, and we're going to see who else does. when the vote happens later today. >> everything it calls for the administration is already doing, and it is just yet another example of the republicans using israel and anti-semitism for their own political purposes. >> if the bill passes in the house, senate majority leader chuck schumer says the senate will not take up the legislation , and the white house has already said the president would veto the bill if it makes it to his desk. >> well, now to some developing news that we are following right now in the east bay. and this driver has led police on a chase that has now spanned several counties. chopper video showing a white four door sedan moving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed at several times throughout this chase. chase began around 145, reportedly in contra costa county on highway four, in the area of martinez.

the highway patrol says the suspect hit city streets before hopping back onto the freeway. at one point, the driver crossed the carquinez bridge and on to interstate 80 pass through cities including richmond and berkeley. at this point, there is no word on whether the chase is ended or if anyone has been arrested. now we go to the south bay today, where santa clara valley medical center was the site of a simulated mass casualty event. it was all part of a practice drill. first responders were tasked with reacting to an explosion at a major sporting event. emergency workers wore hazardous material suits for dicamba decontamination. a triage station was also set up as nursing students took on the role of injured patients. hospital officials say the drill allows emergency workers to put into practice the skills needed to respond to such a disaster, with the various dangers happening around the world today , there's also an increased anxiety and urgency to be prepared for all sorts of,

intentional disasters. hospital officials say a wide range of staff took part in today's drill, including those from the emergency department, radiology, language services and social work. >> the california high speed rail authority released a progress report today on the decades long project to connect northern and southern california with a high speed rail line. most of the 500 mile project connecting san francisco to the los angeles area has now received environmental clearance, the rail authority says. the central valley is the building block of the system, and significant progress is being made in that region. the authority has advanced construction to establish future electrified high speed rail from merced to bakersfield. rail authority board members met today to hear updates on the long term project. >> if we can all just keep the big picture in mind, that will probably not be completed before many of us are on this earth,

but we have to look to the future to make sure that this is going to be high speed rail. san diego, la, central valley to the bay area. >> officials say the project is on pace to meet its goal to complete a crucial section of the system in the central valley. by the early 2030s. >> okay, let's talk about our bay area weather as we welcome in thursday and giving you a live look now at mount diablo. our meteorologist, mark tamayo, joins us now with a look ahead at what we can expect as wrap u. >> yeah, heather looks like a bit of a cooling trend as we head toward the weekend. so the jackets ready. in fact, it has been a cool start. you saw that a cool past few days, i should say. you saw that picture of mount diablo in the sunshine. some areas did not see sunshine at all today. you can see even some drizzle. you can see throughout the morning hours. measurable drizzle 0.02 to 0.04. at least with these reports. and there's the chance we could have some more drizzle for tomorrow morning as well. so what's happened? the marine layer has

deepened over the past 2 to 3 days, and as a result, it's not just cooling for the coast but also for the bay side locations and the inland neighborhoods. this was a satellite throughout the day. the clouds trying to clear back to near the shoreline. but already as you can see, the clouds pushing right on through the golden gate bridge. here's a closer look at the coast from pacifica out toward ocean beach, out toward the marin headlands as well. and what's interesting today, usually up in this area, we do have some clearing, but it's been cloudy all day. as you can see from petaluma to santa rosa. so that's having a big impact on temperatures with this stubborn cloud cover up in portions of sonoma county. right now, it's only 64 degrees in santa rosa, 62 in san francisco, half moon bay, 57 and some 70s out toward livermore and in san jose. we'll show you the wind reports. right now it is breezy to windy in a few spots. look at fairfield and oakland, gusting to 32 miles an hour. napa gusting to 30 miles an hour out toward sfo. not as strong winds at about 13 and mountain view at about 18 miles an hour. so this is the one area

picking up some sunshine, looking out from our south bay camera here. and we have some blue sky up above, but we're going to cloud things up once again. it's been the same weather story over the past three days or so. the low clouds kind of filling the bay. so we're going to wake up to some gray and maybe some drizzle tomorrow morning. temperatures will start out. your friday will be in the 50s. and here's the forecast model showing you the expected cloud pattern tomorrow morning. and then into the afternoon hours. we will see the clouds trying to clear back to near the shoreline. so partly sunny around the bay. more sunshine inland and temperatures from the 60s to the 70s to right around 80 degrees. so tomorrow might be a little bit warmer and then some cooling as we head toward the weekend. well, the full update coming up in just a little bit. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit mark. thank you. coming up this afternoon on the floor of the cross examination of former president trump's ex-lawyer michael cohen continued in new york today, we're live with analysis on how the outcome of this trial could affect the presidential election. as trump prepares to face off with

your criminal trial. trumps former attorney and fixer michael cohen has told the court. the former president was directly involved in the scheme to pay stormy daniels hush money over an alleged affair with trump, money that was later reimbursed to cohen. today, trump's lawyers questioned cohen about his past lies under oath. cohen admitted to lying to congress in 2017 and lying to a special counsel. some republicans are coming to trump's defense. >> there is literally no branch of government that michael cohen is not lied to. >> i think it's really embarrassing, you know, for elected representatives to be appearing at a criminal trial to denounce our justice system. >> cohen is expected to continue testimony on monday. the trial is on hold until monday so trump

can attend his son barron's high school graduation in closing. arguments in the trial could begin next week, and trump's ongoing criminal trial has not hurt his standing in the polls, a new survey out this week from the new york times and siena college shows trump leading president biden in five key battleground states michigan, arizona, nevada, georgia and pennsylvania. biden leads in just one battleground state. that's wisconsin. the polling suggests the economy, immigration and the war in gaza are all hurting. president biden's reelection chances. >> now he's acting like he wants to debate me again or make my day, pal. i'll even do it twice. so let's pick the dates, donald. >> and this week, president biden issuing that challenge to former president trump, who then responded on truth social by saying, let's get ready to rumble. the two quickly agreed to take part in the two campaign debates, both of which are hosted by news organizations.

biden and trump will first face off on june 27th on cnn, and then in a second debate on september 10th on abc news. the quick agreement by the candidates follows a decision by both campaigns that they would not take part in traditional fall debates sponsored by the nonpartisan commission on presidential debates. >> they are going a different route this year. for more on the debates, the polling and the criminal trial, and what all of it means for the presidential election, let's bring in david mcewen, political science professor at sonoma state university. we have a lot to unpack here. it feels like we need more time for this segment. david. it's good. it's good to see you here. you see that video from president biden this week? sort of challenging former president trump to a debate here . there feels like a real sense of urgency from the biden campaign. they see those concerning polling numbers in battleground states. why do you think his team wants to get him on a debate stage sooner rather than later?

>> one reason to get the current president onto the debate stage now is because the expectations have been set so low by donald trump about joe biden's condition and his capability, obviously they're going to go back and forth in terms of the spin, in terms of what happens here. but past that and past what happens from this first debate very early into the second debate, we're also going to have sandwiched in there the both parties, political conventions and a vice presidential debate at some point. so the stakes are high. and obviously, those swing state polls that we start to see, we're going to see more and more of these. and as that starts to happen, the biden team is getting feisty. they're getting worried, and certainly they're also going to punch back here because they want to draw the contrast of the courtroom versus the campaign setting. and that is all going to, i think, reach a fever pitch by the end of june. the other components of this, alex, is the end of june is when we establish the california ballot. that's the

deadline for ballot measures and what the california ballot itself looks like. and we'll have a supreme court decision related to presidential immunity by then. so this is actually, while very early, a very consequential debate that we even haven't even had yet. >> hum. well, you mentioned what could be politically gained by former by current president biden. let's talk about former president trump. i mean, he refused to debate in the gop primaries, citing his large lead in the polls. what does he hope to gain by agreeing to these debates? >> well, look, he doesn't want to agree to joe biden's rules. he wants to have an audience. he won't have that with the first debate. maybe that happens in the second debate. he doesn't want his might cut off. he wants to kind of flow and go with the moment, he wants to get into the groove. that's right. in, donald trump's wheelhouse. the biden team doesn't want that by any stretch. so the rules around this debate, the conduct of this debate, are going to be huge, because if the former president is unable to get into his groove and to cut in and to do those things, he'll argue that it was rigged, and so that gives him a

talking point. that's with his base. what he needs to do is grow, if you will, above that base to kind of get that median voter. it's unclear that the median voter, the purple people we always talk about will actually show up and watch this debate. they might pay attention more to the coverage after the debate, at least for the first one, if not the second one. held in september 10th. >> all right, let's dig a little bit deeper, if we can, into these new polling numbers that came out this week that again showed president biden trailing in most of the key battleground states by as much as 12 points. in nevada, he is losing support, specifically among important demographics here, young black and hispanic voters, a foundational part of the democratic base. why are those voters moving away from biden? >> there's a couple of reasons. one is that the latinx voter, the hispanic voter, is more conservative and identifies with many of those issues, that joe biden and democrats, they believe have moved too far to the left on. that's one component, there is the issue

related to the politics of abortion that's going to be central in this campaign. in addition, there are a couple of rules about voting demographics, democrats. it's to win the presidency, have to get three out of four african american voters. if you're rfk jr, you want to go after the african american male vote in a big way, and you've seen that donald trump has also cut into that as well. if you need to win three out of four african american votes, if you're a democratic candidate for president, you also have to win two out of three latinx votes, that's a big number as well, because it gives an advantage to the challenger. on top of all of that, you have garza. you have what's happening in on college campuses. you have young people. and what they're doing in terms of uncommitted, that gives an inroad as well to donald trump as well as a third party challenge. all of this disadvantaging the, the incumbent at this time. >> yeah. important to note, too, david, that biden carried all six of those battleground states that were surveyed in 2020. so this is quite the shift going back to the reason why unemployment remains high stock

market has largely been strong. but boy, you've got inflation that just remains stubbornly high, right? >> you've got sticky inflation, if you will. and that stickiness is hurting joe biden in those states. democrats have to win, some of those six states. but the states, they really have to win are pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. they have to win two out of those three. donald trump has to flip nevada. he has to flip, georgia, and he has to flip arizona. it looks like he's doing that, but he has to win all three of those as well. so it comes down to what's happening in the purple areas of those states, because you have to get to that 270 number. and for biden and democrats, it's going to be heavy in pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan for however, the former president, he's going to count heavily on what's going on in nevada and arizona and in georgia. and we know all the fallout from what happened in georgia, this last election. and we have a problem of a third party candidate, that could play a bit of a spoiler. so all of that sets up what's the most

consequential election since 1860? that's all. >> that's all. all right, finally here, david, trump's criminal trial in new york appears to be nearing its conclusion. let's talk about how the outcome of that trial impacts the election. is there any indication that moderate swing voters could be influenced by a trump conviction in this trial? >> we do see some evidence of that, and we see some evidence of the stickiness of those, haley, nikki haley supporters as well, in gop primaries and this is what limits the former president to about 46, 47. so if you know you're at that number, you've got to drag down the incumbent's negatives. you have to go negative. you have to have heavy polarization. you don't just argue that this is fake or rigged or whatever you want to do. in terms of the democrats, that might be on, sitting in the jury panel, you want to talk about this more broadly, as really, the biden team and their role in this, that's having some effect, but not enough to push him up in those numbers. and it's turning off voters. so even

if he's convicted, it's hard to see him serving any time or doing anything like that. it'll be held up on appeal. and look what we see going on in florida with judge cannon. she's not going to rule on the motions there until the next presidential election for sometime. it's hard to see some of that really kind of happening at this moment. >> all right. as always, really appreciate you breaking it all down for us. political analyst david mcewen. thank you so much. >> nice to see you both. >> all right. all right. well, coming up here on the for safe driving for older adults, we'll tell you about the

dupixent helps people with asthma breathe better in as little as 2 weeks. and when you can breathe better, what isn't better? this is better. this is better. that's better. and that. even this. dupixent is an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. that's pretty good! dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. it can reduce or even eliminate oral steroids. and doesn't that make things better? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. tell your doctor right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines including steroids,

without talking to your doctor. when you can get more out of your lungs, you can du more with less asthma. and isn't that better? ask your doctor about dupixent, the most prescribed biologic in asthma.

is king. the golden state has the most older adults behind the wheel. ktvu tom vacar was at a senior seminar that happened today in berkeley, where the topic was improving older driving skills and when to say enough is enough, tom. >> well, for a reporter himself, a senior citizen, this story was like looking in a mirror and getting the opportunity to a chance to absorb what it really means. >> but it is kind of a classic. came about by a need. >> berkeley police officer stephanie cole walked him 31 senior citizens to the north berkeley senior center for an elderly driving seminar, a sometimes touchy subject. >> a lot of folks are coming to the class. it's about an hour long and it's nice to have folks show up and have that dialog and that conversation. >> she says there are well over 5 million california senior drivers, two thirds of whom take

five or more medications a day. on average. elderly drivers outlive their actual ability to drive by 5 to 7 years. >> i am very concerned because i'm getting to the point where i'm thinking, how long can i drive and when should i give up? >> we got to be honest with ourselves. nobody wants to hurt somebody else. yeah, talk to your doctor. talk to your friends. talk to your family. if your family can't tell you, i don't know who can. >> there were many tips to extend driving, even with some physical limitations, including avoiding rush hours, staying off freeways, and driving during daylight. but the potential mental limitations were top of mind. >> this is a topic we don't want to face. have to face. >> it's designed to have that conversation not only for the people here that are driving, but their friends and their family. so by not necessarily saying, this is you, this is your problem. it's just saying,

hey, it's a conversation we should have. >> there are a lot of drivers that are over 65 and they want to know, and they want to be safe, and they want to obey the rules and the laws of this land. >> it's like a muscle you have to use your muscle all the time. if you don't use it, you lose it and kind of being cognitive of driving is the same way. you have to think about it. >> fact is, better medicine will also keep many more. but not all seniors driving. >> modern science allows us to improve the body we have as things wear out, and i think that's a great hope and a great promise as we move forward. there are some things that are just not going to be we're not going to be overcome if it's a real physical impairment. >> and so if a face to face conversation is too uncomfortable for you, state law allows concerned family members, friends, and even others to anonymously ask the dmv to reexamine any driver's ability online, and they'll go ahead and

do that. tom vacar ktvu fox two news. >> it is. it is a difficult discussion, but glad to see that there are classes that offer some resources and some tips. all right. tom vacar. thank you. >> there is growing concern among californians about a widening wealth gap in the state . new data takes a look at how factors like education and race affect your salary. up next, we'll talk live with one of he re

policy institute of california shows the top 10% of earners made ten times more money than those in the bottom 10% of earners. only seven other states had wider income gaps. this research used the most recent data available, which was from 2022. joining us now to discuss this study is tess thorman, research associate at the public policy institute of california and coauthor of the study. thank you for the time this afternoon. we appreciate it. why do you think that the income gap is wider here in california than in most other states in this country? >> well, california's widening income gap is really a story of the last 40 years. and we've seen this characterized by low earning families, you know, taking a big hit during each recession and not seeing their incomes come back as quickly. while on the contrary, we've seen top earners see incomes grow more quickly and more consistently. and that's really tied to returns to higher

education. so we've seen incomes grow in particular for families where anybody has a college degree at least. so families where anybody has that college degree have seen incomes grow by 33. those that don't have have seen their median incomes actually decline over the last 40 years. >> those are the trends you've seen for perspective here. back in 1980, families at the top of the income spectrum earned seven times as much as those at the bottom, talk about the trends that we have seen over the past four decades and also what we saw unfold in the midst of the pandemic. >> yeah. that's right. so this is this long term story of inequality increasing in california. you know, as i mentioned before, in previous recessions, we've seen, you know, incomes at the bottom take a bigger hit than those at the top at the start of the covid 19 pandemic. you know, we also saw earnings, again, decline for the lowest earning families. incomes actually increased for families at the top of the income distribution, in part because

capital gains increased, since that peak, we've actually seen inequality decrease a little bit. so we're back to just about where we were in 2019, because low income families have seen some earnings gains. those high incomes have come down a little bit as capital gains declined. >> okay. >> this analysis also highlights racial inequality in our state. black and latino families make up 55% of those at the bottom end of earners. they are overrepresented in that group and they make up, conversely, just 11% of earners in that top 10% that we've been talking about here, what factors are driving that income disparity when it comes to black and latino families? >> that's right. so, you know, as i mentioned before, education is certainly a piece of this that that families with those college degree holders have seen rising earnings over time. but it's also a the result of a number of structural factors. so part of this is of course discrimination and hiring. but

also, you know, access to jobs in terms of, where housing is located, historical redlining, where, where economies are good, there are really a whole host of structural factors that have created this racial income gap that really characterizes california's high level of income inequality. >> yeah. and when you talk to people for this survey, people in california really view this as a serious problem. and let's give people a sense of what you found. you found 70% of respondents believe that the gap between rich and poor is widening, and a similar share of respondents believe the government should do more to reduce the gap. so do you get a sense here in this survey about what steps in particular people would like the government to take to address these disparities? >> we don't ask in the statewide survey which solutions, californians would prefer. you know, we can tell that it's an important issue, that californians recognize it and that they think state government should do more. i will say that

income inequality is a really multidimensional issue. so there isn't a single thing that policymakers can do to address it. we do see from the california poverty measure that, you know, once we account for taxes and for resources from safety net programs, that that actually cuts inequality in california by half, but the other piece of addressing income inequality is looking at, you know, ensuring that those lowest earning families are sharing in the gains that that are happening at the top over time. and that comes from, you know, investing in, in equitable access to higher education. it comes from ensuring that people can afford housing close to jobs that local economies are thriving, that families have the savings on hand to invest in things like education. these are all kind of pieces, that are not, you know, not things we've surveyed californians about, but that are our options on hand for policymakers. all right. >> well, we appreciate you coming on to help us better understand this really important research that you've done, testament with the public policy institute of california. thank you for taking the time. thank

you. >> and thank you both. well, coming up, we are celebrating creativity. a look at some of the works from artists with disabilities that are up for auction. they're all part of a fundraiser for the niad art center, with which works with artists with disabilities. and one of the artists of language will join me live to talk about her poems. >> and in weather, we still have a cool to a mild pattern across the bay area. some sunshine. this camera, other areas. still some stubborn overcast. this ternoon we wi norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? -but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. i gotta get this deal... i know... faster wifi and savings? ...i don't want to miss that. that's amazing doc. mobile savings are calling.

take a look at the average highs for today for may 16th. and we are showing you some areas below the average, some areas right around the average and some areas above. you can see santa rosa, a cool day up in sonoma county only only in the mid 60s. this afternoon, san francisco 63 and san jose one of the warmer spots. here you can see checking in so far 81 degrees. tomorrow morning we will have another big dose of low clouds and fog and maybe some drizzle. partly sunny skies into the afternoon hours. temperatures tomorrow could be just a little bit warmer compared to today, but look at this satellite. lots of lots of low clouds and fog. you can see from earlier this morning. still hugging the coast from santa cruz to half moon bay. here's some of the coverage right now over portions of san francisco, the marin headlands here out

toward bolinas. we already have this patch pushing back into the bay that will expand in coverage. we talked about this earlier, but it's interesting. once again, the cloud cover sticking around all day up in sonoma county for portions of sonoma county from santa rosa down toward petaluma, you would expect the cloud cover out toward bodega bay and dylan beach this afternoon. so with that cloud cover is it's a cool day, as you can see with some neighborhoods still only in the 60s for santa rosa, half moon bay checking in 57, hayward 71 and some 70s for concord, livermore and in san jose. the winds definitely a factor throughout the day. they you can see the gusts right now over 30 miles an hour in fairfield and in oakland. not so strong here out toward sfo. here is half moon bay winds at about 13 miles an hour. here is our live camera looking out toward sfo. some blue sky up above, but not completely clear. you can see this. this blanket of cloud cover getting it's getting its act together. and this will ramp up in coverage overnight. so this is the plan. tomorrow morning at 7:00, the clouds near the coast, right around the bay

and even well inland. you may have encountered some drizzle this morning. there's a chance tomorrow morning as well. so temperatures tomorrow morning, low to mid 50s and then into the afternoon hours tomorrow could be a little bit warmer than today. 60s to the 70s. the warmest locations right around 80 degrees. so still some patchy cloud cover for the beaches. partly sunny around the bay and then more sunshine inland. watching two systems out here in the pacific. first, this area of high pressure offshore and then this guy will impact our weekend outlook for both saturday and into sunday. now tomorrow, no big changes, some cloud cover in the morning, partly sunny skies into the afternoon hours. and then that system wants the next system wants to move in from the north. and that'll send temperatures down into the weekend. so throughout this period we're just talking about lots of clouds in the morning and then no heat at all. no 90s, not much in the way of 80s. but tomorrow the warmest locations could be right around 80 degrees out toward fairfield and antioch. san jose 78, oakland 69, and santa rosa in the mid 70s. you take a look at these numbers, looking long range for

the rest of may, there's the chance we could have temperatures below the average, so no signs of any major heat waves headed our way. take a look at your weekend outlook. you can see temperatures trending down by just a little bit. these are all just some slight changes for both saturday and it's a sunday. sunday could be one of the cooler days of the week, which is some 60s and then some 70s. then we'll trend upward a little bit into early next week for monday and into tuesday. so lots of clouds, some drizzle once again. and definitely keep the sweater and the jacket with this cooler weather pattern. it wants to stick around over the next several. yes, we'll do all right. >> thanks so much mark. appreciate it. well, this weekend a toast to art is happening to help raise money for the nyad art center in richmond. here are some of the beautiful works. museum quality artworks that you can bid on. they were created by some of the center's 70 artists with disabilities, and it's all part of nyad's annual auction and fundraiser. and joining me now live here in studio to talk about the really fun night ahead. coming up on saturday is amanda eicher, nyad's executive director. thank you for being here. and artist. hello sea,

noel johnson. hi. hello. how are you doing? i'm good. good. thank you for coming in. amanda, i want to talk with you first about the center because you were serving a lot more artists than ever before. so your goal for saturday night is bigger than ever. >> that is true. you know, this year we're we have a goal of raising $100,000. and every dollar we raise goes into our programs. we grew this year for the first time in nyad's history. we were approved for an increase to serve 80 artists every week in our programs. and since we're a little bit bigger, we want to give artists a little bit more. and that's the that's the whole goal of this year. >> and that's what saturday is about. halsey i know that you are an artist as well as a poet. yes. what do you like most about nyad? >> for me, nyad as it begins a program of. art, including a gallery in san francisco. so

there are two. but i would say for my perspective, if we sonoma, i know that you are going to be sharing some of your poetry with some of the people that get a chance to come on saturday. >> you have one of your poems there. do you mind reading a little bit of it for us today? sure. great for my soul and free my mind every time i talk. >> my soul is free. every time i sing, every time, every time i sing my soul is free. when i focus on something, my writing, my reading, doing artwork, doing my work and making my are free, my mind that is really beautiful. >> what what what do you feel when you get a chance to make a poem like that? >> so i just did a poem, but, i

think of how i feel that day, or i think what i, is basically in my soul. i think, think of what poem to write. yeah. because if there expressing my words to folks, it would be kind of harsh. but if they're doing that, i like that's really, really lovely. >> and that's what your center is really about, is allowing people with a, with a disability to kind of tap into themselves and explore art, whether it be, you know, an artist of language like halsey or on a canvas. halsey i'm sorry. halsey >> you know, halsey is a great example of the artists who are really pressing boundaries that need, you know, our traditional practices are very strong paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry. right, but in the past three years, i would say halsey and other poets at nyad have really broken boundaries with

spoken word performance. and we'll see all of that on stage. at winwin, we have musicians from nyad studio, spoken word artists, we have a pianist who will be playing and a harpist, all artists who make work with us at nyad every day. >> are you nervous at all? >> no. no, i don't, my sister, i do, i did, i been doing poetry from amambay for a fox. i did both the slams. so basically, you've got this. i am not at all. >> that's right. you are ready. you are okay. >> i got my teeth from her. my sister backbone. >> oh, that's really sweet, i know that you also created a piece of art that's going to be on display. yeah, i think you want to tell me about that as well. >> if i do. but ethical art.

okay. but it elections and the black power. one other one. i am currently the one when and that's it right there. yeah, yeah. as i'm black, i've taught, i've taught and proud to be black. that's part of it. >> yeah. and this is a portrait of angela davis. >> yes. i love angela davis. >> that's right. that's part of the black power movement. yes. when you talk, though, about the needs of nyad and being able to support artists like khaleesi. what, what what do you want? people at home to know and really how crucial their support is in helping you on your mission? >> well, if we think about the leadership of 80 individuals who are creative, who have power, who have ideas to change, the world through their artwork, through their leadership, through their poetry, it takes so much to follow each of those people's direction toward a career that's meaningful, that has visibility and that really

takes them to the place they want to go. and that is what people are supporting with every dollar they give to the fundraiser, with every artwork they buy at nyad. and, you know, this weekend is just a time when every part of niaid's community comes together to do that, work together to raise funds to put resources in artists hands so that they can make incredible work that changes the world. yeah, yeah it does. >> we want to let people know that there are still there's still an opportunity for people to participate. you can go online, take a look at some of that work, place your bids there, and you can also attend the event. folks, it's the niad art center's annual auction and fundraiser. it is happening this saturday, 3 to 7 at the bridge art space in richmond. you can also go to niad art.org. amanda, i just want to say that throughout the last couple of months, it's been a real pleasure to meet to meet you and so many of the artists and really to showcase the talent
