5:42 pm
but i just -- it never crossed my mind. >> reporter: the reality of colon cancer is that it's a deadly disease when caught late. it's a curable disease when caught early. dr. zell says 92% of colorectal cancer can be cured if it is caught early and jenessa wants everyone to take her advice to, pay attention to what is going on with your body, not only for you, but the ones you love, too. >> my daughter this is a play right now, her very first play, and -- my desire, my drive, to just be there for them for these moments really gets me up every morning. >> reporter: jenessa has had more than 100 chemo treatments since receiving her diagnosis. the cancer has continued to spread through her body, but she's holding onstrong and cherishing every moment she can. >> even without screening, early detection is really important. things to look for, abdominal pain, unexplained rectal bleeding, and any kind

5:46 pm
let's check in with paul and once again, no complaints. we're not complaining. we're not getting nitpicky. >> we're getting trouble. >> not throwing anything at me from across the studio. >> i can't reach. >> we do have a doll with pins in it that says ouch. let's look at what's happening weatherwise heading into the weekend, looks pretty nice, staying with a cooler than average temperature pattern. there's another storm system heading for the coast of southern california. any hint of shower activity is likely to avoid the bay area, but we'll see that cooler than normal temperature pattern sticking around and this will be in a position where it sends more cloud cover across the bay area through the weekend. i think a mix of clouds and sunshine most likely through the afternoons the next several days. let's look at futurecast. it's trying to run a couple showers from the south in from the east
5:47 pm
through the weekend, very unlikely. there's the possibility maybe you'll see a sprinkle or two as some of the showers and storms that bubble up over the sierra try to make their way towards us, but the odds of surviving and making their way into the bay area remain very low the next several days. in fact, that's the trend in the long term forecast as well. the six to ten-day outlook and eight to 14-day outlook still keep the best chance of wetter than normal conditions way off to our east. it's kind of an el nino-ish pattern already, which is appropriate because el nino patterns exist in the ocean. the outlook came out yesterday from noaa. there's cloud cover creeping in from the golden gate. temperatures were cooler today, low 60s in san francisco and pacifica, mid-60s in fremont, low 70s for inland parts of the bay area. those temperatures should be a little warm tomorrow. despite the clouds we'll warm up from the low to mid-50s to start the day
5:48 pm
up a little farther into the 60s in san francisco reaching up to about 63 degrees by late afternoon. temperatures in the north bay reach a little farther into the 70s, up to about 74 degrees for a daytime high in santa rosa. a lot of clouds to start the day and that mix of clouds and sunshine taking over. that's the trend for all inland parts of the bay area. up to the upper 70s around concord, closer to normal temperatures, but a few degrees below average, mid-70s in the santa clara valley. you can subtract about 3 or 4 degrees from inland temperatures for highs sunday. we are going to go up and down a little bit the next few days. let's look at the seven-day forecast after we check out the forecast for the san mateo county fair, can't skip that, temperatures comfortably cool over the weekend, more clouds saturday, but the additional sunshine sunday won't make much difference in temperatures, if anything, might be a degree or two cooler. we bounce back to near normal temperatures by wednesday, thursday, and friday next week, back to our typical june weather the first time in the month of june. that means a mix of upper 70s and low to
5:49 pm
mid-80s for inland parts of the bay area, up to around 80 in san jose a week from today. we head into father's day weekend with warmer temperatures pretty much across the board, even along the coast back up into the low 60s. >> thanks, paul. a check of what's ahead, we switch over to juliette goodrich. >> we're talking b.a.r.t. in a high stakes struggle for survival, its riders asked to pay the price. how much more will you be shelling t and ride alienate the passengers b.a.r.t. has now? plus, it's a major inconvenience just to get their mail, a small coastal town rallying to get their post office back after it's been closed for months, much more ahead at 6:00. let's go to charlie and sports. hey there. >> hey there. stanford baseball knocked out texas a&m earlier this week. now instead of doing these with the horns, they'll try to hook em and give them the knockout blow this weekend
5:50 pm
in the super regionals. apparently the cardinal didn't get the message from g.w. bush. >> don't mess with texas. >> they want to mess with texas' plans for a world series berth. stanford third baseman tommy troy is a big reason why the cardinal are two wins away from the biggest stage. he's focused on delivering the knockout blow to the horns, just like their home run celebrations which looks like a scene from mike tyson's punchout. >> we like to play this little game like shadowboxing. we do it before pregames, a fun thing we do. we made that our home run celebration where we go left hook, right hook and then uppercut. >> you got to finish with the hook there. it's the longhorns. nascar returns to sonoma raceway this weekend. ross chastain, one of seven drivers who will pull double duty racing in the xfinity series tomorrow night and the cup series on sunday. it sounds like he picked the right sport. >> reporter: if you're a football player, what position would you play with that kind
5:51 pm
of mentality? >> water boy? i don't know. >> it is imperative you allow me to be a water boy. >> chastain turned it loose like bobby boucher last fall. if class taken wins this weekend, we'll find out how the sonoma red wine pairs with watermelons. chastain's nickname is the melon man. >> we raise watermelons. so you see a lot of watermelon themed things. >> reporter: do you crack a watermelon after a win? >> smash it right on the ground, pick it up and eat it, share it with everybody. we are very pro watermelon when it comes to winning. we have them ready to go. we don't touch it unless we win. chiefs coach andy reid appreciates watermelon, one of
5:52 pm
several items on the menu for the super ball champs that visited the white house earlier this week. >> french toast, grilled cheese and ham salad they sprinkled a little powder sugar on. it was phenomenal. there was an abundance of this and then they had chicken fingers, exotic fingers, and maybe the best part, which i hadn't seen before, but little bite-sized squares of the heart of the watermelon. >> i've never seen those before, coach. he's in his 50s, 60s and he's never seen cubed watermelon? >> what is exotic chicken things? >> the first thing he was talking about, the monty cristo, a little much in my opinion, but the exotic chicken fingers? i don't know. maybe they had a little glaze. he's never seen watermelon cubes, so how exotic could they be? >> i just gained 20 pounds watching your report. still ahead, a plea for

someone will either adopt or foster. there are around 250 dogs, 600 cats, and around 60 other animals here like rabbits. >> we definitely are way beyond our capacity for care. >> reporter: he says it's tough to identify one main reason why so many animals are ending up at the shelter. >> i think after covid we started to see a lot of folks that have given us reasons of their housing situation has changed. it could be financial reasons. it could be the lack of access to vet care or it could be numerous reasons, such as moving out of the area. they can't take their animals with them. >> reporter: dogs like ronny are staying in the shelter for more time now, too. the average length of stay is up from ten days to 22 days. >> that will continue to increase if we're not able to
