5:02 am
baseball game saying this is not baseball season. >> where are we? are you like a mosh pit girl? >> no. >> i'm just stand in the back a little bit off to the side but close enough to feel it and see it and enjoy it. >> did you have a cup in your hand. >> other things reed. a live look outside on this wednesday morning. because as i discussed the frigid temperatures in the east bay yesterday it looks beautiful today. and however, darren peck has told us to expect each day the weather to decline a little bit. so -- >> a little. a little -- >> today is worse than yesterday is what you are telling me. >> marginally. not going to be too drastic. your experience last night on the baseball field probably the bottom. i don't think it's going get much worse and nicole, you deserve an explanation on that because it shouldn't have been that gray yesterday. there's a unique pattern happening right now off the coast that's probably going to keep it just about as gray for a good part of today. weak little area of low pressure. this is not typical marine layer that we had around yesterday. it lasted all day. it's not supposed to do that. and it's probably
5:03 am
going to do it again today. look where we are this morning. it's cloudy. for just about everybody. and it is widespread clouds and look at the light little blips of green here off the compost and it's breezy near the coast again as well. a little bit stronger of the onshore flow and it's actually misting out with a little bit of rain again near the coast. not too widespread and i have not really seen too many of the automated weather sensors around the bay that have registered much if any rain. but it will be light mist this morning near the coast and in the hills. don't expect a lot of sunshine yesterday. a lot like yesterday actually. we're in the upper 50s out there right now. the temperatures are in the morning not really all that different. the daytime highs today will struggle to make it into the upper 60s once again. and tomorrow's a copy of this. friday, it's going to get a bit windy and we've been watching that system for friday and so focus on the chance that it could give us some light rain. and yeah, that's possible. but it wouldn't be a big deal. it's the wind on friday we should look at and
5:04 am
i'll be back with more on that coming up in the complete forecast in just a bit. gianna, how's the drive look? it's actually looking pretty good off to a great start on this wednesday morning. for the roadways and for now, we'll keep an eye on that of course but golden gate bridge, moving along who no delays and they have not done the lane changes yet and you have just that one little single lane there kind of bottlenecking a bit across the span. if you are traveling along the peninsula looks like we've got some trouble spots reported along 280. coming out of daly city. doesn't look like it's causing a lot of ballots but we'll check in on that and overall pretty quiet through the north bay. sonoma, napa, everything is clear there. reed? thank you so much. turn our attention this morning to uc berkeley where protests kick off another week of nationwide outcry against the war in gaza. just like a large occupation at columbia university in new york, dozens of uc berkeley students also in an encampment on the steps of sprout plaza.
5:05 am
shawn chitnis is live this morning in berkeley, how's this affecting campus life this morning, shawn? >> reporter: reed, good morning, we know it's certainly having an impact on students and some are choosing to join in after seeing it. we certainly can't miss it as i step away here. you can see all of the tents that are taking over the plaza at this hour. this is also right along the main thoroughfare to get through campus right before the satter gate. you see what kind of visual impact it has here but at least at this moment at this hour in the morning it's quite calm. more on how we got here we understand the students who wanted to protest what they are seeing in gaza created this encampment in solidarity with what they see as a larger occupation and kind of the center of this movement happening at columbia university in new york. the campers say they will remain here on berkeley's campus until the university of california ties -- cuts all ties with israeli colleges or
5:06 am
companies connected to armed suppliers and israel's action as a genocide they say. >> we are standing inspired by the students over at columbia. we consider to be the heart of the student movement but more importantly with our people in palestine we're standing in solidarity with them. >> reporter: so there's a statement the university has put out saying with three weeks left in the semester, berkeley is prioritizing students' academic interests and we will take the steps necessary to ensure the protest does not disrupt the university's operations. and it went on to say there are no plans to change the university's investment policies and practices. now students have been having pro palestinian demonstrations here on campus well before there. this was a daily protest happening at sather gate just down the block from me here. that's been going on since february. the question is how long they will be able to continue territory we see now which is supposed to be 24/7. reed, back to you.
5:07 am
>> all right, shawing thank you. go north now where cal poly humboldt closed after hundreds of pro palestinian protesters barricaded inside at least two buildings. police stood by riot police in fact. the word is this morning that students need to stay home and classes will be held online now because of this. meanwhile police making arrests at yale and nyu and columbia after protesters just refused to leave tent encampments on those school properties. protesters at columbia were told to be gone by midnight but for some reason, and we don't know why, that demand has been pushed back. 120 protesters arrested at nyu and more than 40 in all arrested at yale. >> i think that it's time to divest from those weapons manufacturing and redivest them into other important things. >> as you can imagine, being a jewish student on campuses in the country would come with great tension even some fear. in fact some we spoke to say they are afraid of their safety on campus. here's student melissa. >> person was yelling at me
5:08 am
screaming at me calling me a zionist. and a murderer. >> israel says more than 130 hostages remain held by hamas a quarter of them feared dead. after hamas attacked and killed israelis on october 7th. house speaker mike johnson's office will go and meet with students, jewish students at columbia university this afternoon. lot to unpack here in this protest all over the country for continuing coverage on the occupation at uc berkeley and other college campuses in the country, stay with us on air and online at kpix.com and streaming on cbs news bay area. time now for a look at this morning's other top stories. a potential ban on the popular app tiktok is on its way to the president's desk. the senate approved the historic legislation in a sweeping bipartisan vote overnight. saying the social media platform is a security risk. now this is part of a larger $95 billion package that provides foreign aid to
5:09 am
ukraine, israel, and taiwan. it would ban tiktok nationwide unless the company's chinese owner bytedance sells the app in the next nine months. president biden says he will sign the package as soon as he gets it. tiktok is vowing to fight in court. a former google employee accused of stealing ai secrets for china tech companies is due in court today. prosecutors say 38-year-old lynn way ding stole more than 500 files of confidential information while secretly working for a company based in beijing. ding faces four counts of trade secret theft. well, now to san francisco right now. taking a live look at city hall. mayor london breed wants to try a new way to cut down on crime in the tenderloin. a curfew for certain businesses. as you would expect the new idea has business owners pretty mad. our lauren toms talked to a man who thinks this idea is the wrong approach. >> i want my neighborhood back. >> reporter: at what cost?
5:10 am
>> well, there's no cost. i used to have a cost but not now. i want my neighborhood back. it's not fair. >> reporter: dell seymour has called san francisco his home for nearly four decades. even being dubbed the unofficial mayor of the tenderloin. but after dark the neighborhood he knows and loves turns into an unrecognizable nightmare. >> when i was living there and on the streets, by 9:00, 10:00 at night we all went to bed on the tent in the manager or whatever. now tenderloin don't even start until 10:00 at night. >> reporter: that's when many of the community services leave the area as part of the contract with the city. but the city is trying a new tactic to crack down on open air drug markets. mayor london breed announced a plan to ban stores in the area from selling prepackaged food or tobacco products between midnight and 5:00 a.m. >> when we looked at the data around some of our -- kind of corner store operations, we discovered that that was where
5:11 am
we had the most problems, especially at night. >> reporter: breed pushed the plan at an event for small businesses in the tenderloin that have struggled getting customers in the door because of the scenes outside. >> we got -- clean up our street first. no one will come. >> reporter: the idea of restricting sales at corner markets isn't welcomed by everyone. we talked to one shop owner who pins the problem on the city's housing struggles. >> just trying to blame businesses for, you know, for being open all night. but i don't think that's -- that's the issue. so homelessness has been going on in san francisco for like more than 10, 15 years. >> reporter: but it's a strategy the city has tried before in this area. seymour remembers when the city restricted alcohol sales to curb related crime. and even 25 years later, he's confident it could help. but alone, it's not enough. >> maybe 20%, 30%. that's what i'm predicting because i was here when it happened before. we were never just -- this messed up. >> reporter: even so his
5:12 am
efforts to return the tenderloin to a place he loves are unconditional. >> well, it's now up to the board of supervisors to decide whether or not to approve the one year pilot program. nicole? time now 5:11. pardon me. imagine waking up and seeing this. are these marx skies over greece? we explain the phenomenon. plus. ♪ all right, we are taking you back in time in 19 # 8 and i wish you could see reed dancing right now. >> i can do it. it hurts. >> killing it. >> you got it. from new kids on the block. i caught up with the
5:13 am
5:14 am
the virus that causes shingles is sleeping... in 99% of people over 50. it's lying dormant, waiting... and could reactivate. shingles strikes as a painful, blistering rash that can last for weeks. and it could wake at any time. think you're not at risk for shingles?
5:15 am
it's time to wake up. because shingles could wake up in you. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention. all right, taking a live look from san francisco. if you know, you know, okay? tens, tens, tens across the board. billy porter superstar is your pride grand marshal and main stage headliner. yes. tens across the board. porter is well-known for his role in the broadway hit "kinky boots" and the fashion flair and advocacy. the emmy, tomy and grammy winning star will be a part of the parade and perform on the main stage. this year's pride parade set for sunday, june 30th. and i highly recommend you get the memoir. it's called "unprotected before. it might help you appreciate him a little bit more. i did. it's so good. nicole? check this out. in greece the famous acropolis looked like it was on mars. dust clouds from the sahara blew
5:16 am
across the mediterranean sea turning the skies in southern greece orange. the strong winds also fanned dozens of wildfires. the skies aresupposed to start clearing today. and it really does look like it's out of this world. >> wow. >> but darren, reminds me i spent some time in arizona. of when a haboob would come through and you have the dust and the haze and it just creates a beautiful sight. not too healthy though. >> for so many who went through the fires here in 2020 and we woke up on red sky die and it's the same thing. whether it's maul sand from a dust storm in phoenix. or particles of smoke in the atmosphere like that. they both filter the sunlight in such a way to give you the really eerie look. the thing is you need lot of that like -- in dust storm, you really can't go out and breathe in that. >> right. >> same thing with wildfire smoke and boy, we've had really lucky years the last two years, wildfire season has been really quiet. and -- let's hope our luck continues going into this year because we know the risk here in california. >> you mentioned the wildfires.
5:17 am
so it does look really similar to the infamous day back to september 2020, when smoky skies created an orange glow across the bay area. now back then, wildfires raging in oregon and washington if you recall sending the smoke down in our way. the air quality difference though when dust particles are in the air, versus, you know, wildfire, the smoke coming down. >> the thing with dust is, i think your awareness is much higher. you know that stuff is bad because it's hitting you in the face and smoke the different. the particles are actually a little smaller. and you are now -- unwittingly breathing more stuff in and it can twill be a lot worse for you because you have more exposure. >> all the wildfires you don't know you know, what the aqi or the healthy amount of smoke in the air is to go out and dao outdoor activities where like you said with dust you are like i can't breathe. i'm staying home. >> people have gotten better though. people know how to find
5:18 am
the purple air quality readings and all gotten so trained whether we want to or not. at having a higher level of awareness on this. i think it's a good thing we're going to need it. >> healthy air outside today. >> yes. >> we're in the bay area. >> nothing other than the marine layer which is going to come back. really gray out there to start the day. one thing we need to talk about is the fact that the marine layer we've got right now is getting a little bit of an assist. there's an area of low pressure that's sitting off the coast right now. which is the reason why it stayed gray all day yesterday and that area of low pressure is trying to throw rain to the coast. i put the streamlinessen here so you can see the counterclockwise spin. that's the reason why today's probably going to stay just about as gray. and if you look at the forecast there, look at the little green blips showing up in the afternoon, it will clear out faster once we get towards the evening. did you see what happened there in the last frame? that low spinning out there is about to get pushed out of the way. late tonight. and into tomorrow. because it's got to make room
5:19 am
for the next system coming our way on friday. there's a system getting here on friday that is going to try and bring us some rain of its own. doesn't look like it's going to have much and instead it looks like we're probably going to get a bit windy on friday from that. and that might be the bigger impact as we look forward to the change coming our way for friday. 30 to 40-mile an hour gusts perhaps along the coast. these are the current numbers out there right now. now we're on daytime highs. forgive me. low to mid-60s out there. in the afternoon for where we're going to top out. very much like yesterday was. nobody probably makes it to 70 today. we did have a few spots that tried to get there. but couldn't. yesterday, because of all the clouds. and with low to mid-60s out there in general for today, this will kind of set the stage for what the rest of the week is going to look like until the system gets here on friday with its chance of rain. so let's take a look at that. we can go out to the pacific and all the way out on the other side. this system comes together and watch
5:20 am
the rain. which really doesn't have enough or good enough aim to give us much measurable precipitation out of that. watch it fall apart right there. really not a whole lot that we get in terms of rain from it. what we should look at instead on friday is the wind and you will see the little impulsings pick up here two different times. it's tomorrow, it's a bit breezy tomorrow but not too bad. it's going to look a bit different on friday in the afternoon and evening right here. now those are wind gusts along the coast that are getting to 40 miles an hour. no wind advisory yet from the national weather service. but they're thinking about it. they put out their forecast discussion where they said that it might be necessary on this. because 40-mile an hour gust is enough to start raising people's awareness you could get a broken branch or maybe some flying debris. been through much worse wind storm s than this one. but it would be
5:21 am
a noticeably windier day. oak, 7 day forecast. we've got that windy day on friday and then look back here for the weekend. we're going to warm right back up in the mid 70s. 75 degrees sunday and monday. that's pretty much average for this time of year. those numbers apply to inland valleys and just to show you what it will be like right through the bay. the numbers also warm up there but you have to settle for upper 60s. gianna, how's the drive look. you know the drive is looking really good so far. darren. thankfully. it's been an easy commute for the most part. and in fact, checking in at the bay bridge you can see it's pretty quiet and light. traffic is moving along very well here in both directions. so off to a great start and plenty of time to have that extra cup of coffee before you head out the door. maybe to your hot chocolate. whatever you enjoy. you are pretty good do go. taking the ride northbound 101 to sfo, traffic is moving along well. early flight to catch. if you are headed to oakland airport, 8830 is clear and right now no troubles out of the south bay. everything is moving along very well. getting a little slow on highway 4 as you head towards concord. ♪ got little more

all right, salesforce up to the east bay. good morning everybody. we see you over there across the waters. it's 5:30 in the morning and welcome in we're glad to have you here and also glad to have darren peck here to tell us about the weather that has been sort of strange. i look out and i saibling, you are gloomy. i walk out and i say okay, you are winter. >> yeah. >> mother nature is not talking to me. >> like yesterday was kind of like -- we went into may gray early. >> right. >> but like may gray on overdrive early and it's still kind of like that today. there's an explanation on this. there's a weak area of low pressure that's sitting off the coast. this is not your typical marine layer. it's going to last longer again
5:32 am
today. there's a little bit of light mist in it. so if you are near the coast, on any bay area hills, don't be surprised, you are going to get some light mist out of this over the course of this morning. here's what it looks like on the forecast imagery. you can see the clouds are widespread but look at the little green blips on here and watch the pattern. all kind of getting pulled up from in south. what they're actually doing is getting rotated around an area of low pressure off the coast. the coast is more vulnerable to get some light rain. this is kind of stuff you can't even measure. you don't really get enough rainfall out of it that a rain gauge picks it up but you certainly notice things are damp and the windshield wipers have to go on for a time. while you are driving. wind is going to be a little bit more noticeable along the coast today and certainly through the gaps like the golden gate bridge and maybe through carquinez strait but not terribly windy day today. friday is the day to foe course on the increase in wind, we really put our attention and not so much that we've been talking about friday all week so far. the day the system might come in with a chance of
5:33 am
light rain. the rain looks really inconsequential on friday. the wind might be a bigger factor. more on that coming up a bit. by the way there's the look at where we're talking about with the area of low pressure spinning off the coast, looks pretty cool when you look at it that way. too get you ready, here are numbers so you know it's gray. we're in the mid to upper 50s. the interesting thing is when it's this cloudy, the temperatures actually stay a little bit warmer in the mornings. it's the afternoons you are going to notice the cooldown and i'll see you with the daytime highs coming up in a few minutes. gianna, how's the drive look? it's doing okay and sounds like even we're getting some of the wet weather doesn't seem like enough to really wet the ground or saturate it to make it an issue for your drive this morning as we teenage a live look at the bay bridge. metering lights not on just yet but soon and right now traffic is moving along well across in t span. no brake lights to report as you work your way on any of the approaches towards the bay bridge. westbound 80, 580 or 880. zooming in on highway 4, well, that's getting busy already. westbound as you head out of pittsburg into bay point. all right, g, thank you. a

[ laughter ] >> yes. where has my coffee. >> that's a great life philosophy. >> that works. >> i know. i was talking to the producer earlier and i'm like you know what? i have no idea what's going on around me right now. just get through it.
5:49 am
typical. >> your face. >> so the camera you just showed from black mountain, that's the one that sits over on the west side of the santa clara valley. looking down over san jose like reed was just saying and yesterday we couldn't even use that camera. because it was totally socked in with clouds. and it was getting misted on and there was rain. so it's a little less intense today from that standpoint. but for the overwhelming majority of us, this morning and this afternoon, are going to look almost identical to the way yesterday did. even if the clouds are a little more forgiving on black mountain. look at the imagery here. we're waking up in the marine layer still overtaking the entire bay and there's a little bit of light mist in it. watch the light showers here that show up along the coast so again, there not much to that. there is what we would call marine layer mist. and you might encounter some of this on the roads. particularly near the coast or near any bay area hills this morning. it's not the kind of rain where there's enough we can even measure it. but it is enough that the streets get slick and the windshield wipers have to go on the clear it off the view. also a little breezy
5:50 am
out there but not terribly windy out there this morning. here's a big picture view. the marine layer is going to do that again today. there's a pattern out here and you can see it when you look at the streamlines. don't normally have this with the marine layer. there's a beautifully formed area of low pressure driving all this. it's really -- beefing up the marine layer and it's putting a little bit of rain in it and pushing it further on shore and it's going away tomorrow. did you see what happened there? tomorrow, northerly winds are going to push that away. so it's not like we get rid of the marine layer entirely tomorrow morning. but it's not going to be as widespread. however, the trade-off is, it's going to start to get a little lower and one of the nice things about this pattern is even though it's gray and it's been misty, if you have noticed the clouds are fairly high. tomorrow, they're going to get pushed back down. so if we look at tomorrow morning, that's thursday, there's not as much marine layer and some of us will wake up with clear skies but where we have the marine layer it will be a little lower. shouldn't have -- a major impact in terms of fog. but it's just -- subtle
5:51 am
differences in the way this all goes. let's look at today's daytime highs. pretty much back to the mid 60s again. very much like what we did yesterday. we don't change the temperatures a whole lot. really all week. by the weekend, we will. good timing on this. daytime highs will go back to the mid 70s by the time we get to sunday. maybe saturday. you will notice a bit of that but really going to be on sunday when we get the notice. able warm-up from the next system and the next system coming our way is not having rain with it. not the rain from that. what we will notice is, it's going to get a bit windy on friday. no wind advisories yet. but it's close and the national weather service is already said we're thinking about it and might have to put a wind advisory on this one for friday. so stay on top of that forecast with us and we'll let you know how that plays out as we get closer to it. you can see we've got a windy written down here for friday. and then there's your warm-up into the mid 70s as we get towards the middle of next week. all right. gianna, how's the drive look out there? starting to get a little

bit busy out there, darren. especially as you get ready to take that ride over towards the bay bridge. as we take a look at traffic, if you are working your way kind of an interesting closeup perspective i'm going to move this way. as you work your way over towards the bay bridge toll plaza. things are certainly getting a little bit slow and go through there. oh look now we're going to zoom out so you can see it guess what? i'll say hi. that's a much better perspective. certainly getting busy there. here over at 88 taking it to the bay bridge toll plaza, that actually looks pretty good and we're not seeing a lot of brake lights or issues there. traffic is moving along well in both directions. so so far, we're -- it's bearable as you head out the door. before you have know it, the paris summer olympics will be here. we're going to take you inside the
