we had so much fun covering that prayer. the 45th annual carnaval parade made its way to the mission district and more than 3000 people danced and marched, representing more than a dozen latin american countries. the carnaval theme this year was 45 years of music and movement. there was a lot of that, a lot of music, dance, food and culture, that took over the heart of the mission. each year, a spectator favorite is the low rider event. jose martinez got to ride along in one as they made their way to the mission. >> it's been a really, really fun day at carnaval los angeles. -- there you go,

6:13 am
>> reporter: he tells me the excitement that you see here, shows how poor reputation did is and how have they been working to change stereotypes. >> back in the '70s and '80s, there was a lot of stereotypes. they would put gang banging with the low riders and in the movies, as something bad. but it is just normal working people raising the kids, teaching them about classic cars. >> reporter: he said once it's over, he starts getting ready for next year's carnaval. >> it is such a party and so much fun. obviously jos÷ was having a great time but the classic cars, just to see them literally riding on two wheels are using the back of the pickup truck, it is really a highlight. >> what was your favorite part of brawl? but just being out there and seeing how fun it was with the music and dancing. the
6:14 am
somebody answers, there are groups of like 450 people in it, it was incredible. >> did you stay warm? >> i think walking and dancing, yes. we were sitting so i had a jacket on. >> that is smart. >> and you told me, it was going to be cold. and it was. still chilly along the coast, chilly in the heart of the bay. this is below average during this time of year. 5 to 10 degrees below average along the coastline and that is the trend for inland, too. low 70s for memorial day. the sun is trying to break through the marine layer right now , a live look of the bay bridge. it is a slow start to the morning. pretty cool, actually in the 50s throughout the bay area. the marine layer is my thick along the coast and at the golden gate bridge. but visibility at the surface level, not an issue and this is great news. we see sunshine into the afternoon hours around lunch time. it will pullback around 11:00 's sunny skies across the bay bridge. is still
6:15 am
flows across the golden gate bridge and along the coast into the afternoon setup. by heading into the evening, the marine layer builds back in and we are left with cloudy skies to start tomorrow. if you want to take the dog for a walk, it a beautiful day to do so. we are talking about upper 60s into the afternoon hours. partly cloudy skies at times. and here's what we are looking at for the next 8 to 14 days. above normal temperatures to the north of us, below normal to the south of us. we are in a neutral state to the heart of the bay. as we look at our long-range models, not much is changing right now but we see a bit of a trend in the warmer direction, heading into this weekend. and all are michael climate will do something different with that. along the coast and even into san francisco we are usually sitting in the low 60s and upper 50s. that is the case until we head into this weekend. notice inland areas. let's head to the north bay your wine country will yesterday we got a drizzle but it cleared up afterwards. we are sitting in the low 60s to start off this week. around tuesday, here is the warming trend into the '80s with
6:16 am
sunshine as early as sunday. you think that is warm, let's head to the east bay near antioch and brentwood. my favorite spot to forecast because you guys get so warm, especially during the summer. we are seeing upper 80s as early as saturday but a contrast compared to the low 70s we are dealing with as we kick off the work week tomorrow. let's take a look at the roadways right now. let's have a little bit of a bridge check. if you're getting up early, getting ready to head out the door, here is a live look at the san mateo bridge. it is quite right now, moving along really nicely in both directions. but a calm before the storm as later on today it will be busy on most of our bay area bridges as people head home or come back to the city from a long weekend. golden gate bridge, quiet for now but definitely going to be busy later on for everyone coming home. the metering lights, likely will be turned on until later this afternoon, but
6:17 am
right now, looks good. it is a wind advisory in effect for the bay bridge and a couple other bridges also. antioch bridge, benicia as well as the carquinez bridge. coming away from that hercules connector from eastbound 80. 80, 101, 580 will be quite busy for people coming back into the bay area. it is toronto clot. if you can leave earlier, that is good. it will save you extra time but try not to get on the roadways during that time because a lot of people will be doing the same thing. on the bay area beat, another business in san francisco plans to close one of its doors. cole hardware will shutter the ninth street location in selma after six years of business. the owners of the problem in this case is not crime but rather economics. online shopping and the pandemic were too much. >> when i first started working here, we were building up our business and it was doing good. we were starting to establish ourselves as this location,
6:18 am
south of market. but after the pandemic things started to change. >> it is unfortunate for so many people who work there. the clothing retailer old navy recently said it too is closing at flagship location. betty yu spoke with an employee who says rabbit shoplifting is definitely an issue at the store. >> reporter: cell phone video shows a shoplifter walking out with a walgreens bag full of stolen items according to an old navy employee. another shows someone picking up an ample of clothing that a worker says they didn't pay four. how often do you see shoplifting? >> every day when i'm on the floor walking around, i would say at least 12, 14 times during the day. it is really bad because it is downtown san
6:19 am
francisco and it is really out-of-control. >> reporter: an employee who doesn't want to be identified fact, in the last two days, this flagship store, which is set to close on july 1st, was hit 22 times by the. >> i recognize a lot of them and they are super comfortable. sometimes they will take two and three items at a time. >> reporter: the parent company gap did not mention crime as a contributing factor to the closure. it said the way it leverages flagship locations has changed since it opened the store in the '90s. we have taken the difficult decision to close our market street store when the lease expires and we are already working to identify a new location in downtown san francisco that will better serve the needs of the business and our customers. downtown san francisco retailers have been victims of lower foot traffic due to the pandemic, changing shopping habits and safety concerns. commercial real estate firm said the vacancy rate right now in san francisco is about 30% due to hybrid work and layoffs. calling -- there isn't much leasing activity now but he think that will change. >> hopefully it should start to
6:20 am
happen either toward the end of this year or into early next year. as things improve, interest rates come down and growth can really turn around. >> reporter: in the meantime this worker said shoplifters regularly curse, throw things at them, or worse. >> i feel like i am not as safe as i should be. i've seen one guy carry a hammer before so you don't know what these people's intentions are when they are trying to steal and i feel like sometimes my life could be in jeopardy. >> reporter: this worker said they are relieved. they will likely be transferred to work at a different location. >> i was sad for a while because i do love the store. i do love my team. other than that i am glad we are closing because i don't want to fear for my life every single day at work there. i hope we can get back to normal, the way it used to be when people were out shopping, having fun, being with their families. the 6:20 and we are
6:21 am
remembering our fallen heroes all morning long on this memorial day. the tribune in san francisco over the weekend, and the special word for a veteran. it feels no different from 98 or 99. i feel the same.
