winds to take place throughout the afternoon. but we're clear inland and that will be a warm up through the 60s and 70s by noontime. mid 80s. should do it. maybe upper 80s out towards brentwood, but otherwise it's in the low to mid 70s around the bay shore and the coast. we're going to keep the clouds there, so temperatures will still be a bit above average inland today. >> zack. lisa, thank you. in the east bay, uc berkeley's big commencement ceremony was disrupted by protesters who wanted to send a message to the crowd. the graduating students are the same students whose high school graduations were impacted or canceled because of covid 19. abc7 news reporter cornell bernard spoke with them and parents upset by the interruptions >> cal's commencement, honoring nearly 7000 undergraduates began peacefully inside memorial stadium, but minutes later, the occupation has got to go. the ceremony, disrupted by several dozen pro-palestinian protesters

shouting from the stands. the protest was so loud the ceremony was delayed. at times, speakers were forced to wait it out. this wouldn't be ferguson without a protest, so i get it. some students in the stands displayed the israeli flag. the chants got louder as more pro-palestinian students joined in. some of the demonstrators then walked out of the stadium protesting outside free palestine. >> as a berkeley student, we have a long history of protesting and we did the same for apartheid south africa. it's not any different. in 20 years from now. the university is going to recognize it as that. >> some universities across the country have changed or canceled commencement in the wake of campus encampments protesting israel's war with hamas. but berkeley's graduation went on as planned. chancellor carol christ attempted to speak over the crowd, calling for tolerance and understanding. >> we have lost the ability to talk with one another. i feel

highlight at cal state east bay commencement was the big honor received by a local trailblazer and legend. that's 102 year old betty reid soskin, who received an honorary doctorate. she was the oldest ranger for the national park service. she worked at the rosie the riveter world war two home front park in richmond until she retired at age 100. soskin was also a singer songwriter and a civil rights activist. >> in recognition of her exceptional accomplishments and contributions, especially right here in the east bay, the board of trustees of the california state university and the california state university, east bay are proud to confer upon betty reid, soskin, the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters. >> soskin has lived in the east bay for 90 years. journalists killed while covering the war in gaza are being honored in the bay area. a ceremony was held yesterday in harry bridges plaza in san francisco, followed by a

procession of rincon park. an estimated 141 journalists and media workers have been killed since the war started on october 7th. journalists are considered protected under citizens international law, as long as they're not partaking in the conflict happening today, the community will continue to honor the life of reverend cecil williams, who died last month at the age of 94. his memorial service will begin at one. williams was the longtime leader of san francisco's glide memorial church. he established a legacy of being a champion of civil rights and helping the poor. his decades of work is now available for viewing at the san francisco public library. abc7 news reporter tara campbell got a look at the archive planning meeting in 85. >> the gloves are on and a legacy preserved at the san francisco public library's main branch, one box at a time, 50 to be exact, chronicling the life of civil rights activist reverend cecil williams and his work at glide memorial church. >> we're very excited to have this collection because it

but to san francisco and beyond, making sure the reverend's message continues to be carried through. we can't just house this in the fifth floor, in a corner office in the very back of the building. it needs to be public. people need to see it and feel it and experience it. >> tara campbell, abc seven news williams memorial service will be held at glide. >> doors open at noon and the ceremony begins at one, and we're going to be streaming it live, so you can watch that through the abc seven news app. and it is important to note that a portion of ellis street near the church is going to be closed. warren buffett's auction that helps raise money for the glide foundation brought in $1.5 million lunch with the famous investors, no longer one of the prizes. instead, the winner gets to dine with salesforce ceo marc benioff. that fetched over $200,000. but the winning bidder also pledged to donate a total of 1.5 million. over the years. that auction has raised $53 million for glide. the northern

lights are expected to be back for another night tonight, and we've already seen some spectacular images and pictures. you're looking at a time lapse taken in maine. the bay area is contending with city lights and fog, but that's not keeping people from the chabot space and science center. abc seven news reporter anser hassan talks with people who say the sight is magical. >> the aurora borealis is headlining for a second night over the bay area, and the crowds continue to show up. >> i think it's like magical. and you think about it from when you're a kid. you see pictures of it and you just want to see it for real. i've never seen it for real. and so i thought the opportunity was too awesome to skip. >> scott zimmerman and his family drove up from mountain view for a view from the chabot space and science center up in the hills of oakland, hoping to see the northern lights. >> it's pretty exciting, and it kind of reminds us that, you know, we're part of a much bigger universe and sometimes the universe kind of talks back to us. >> gerald mckeegan is an astronomer at chabot. as he explains, the sun releases ionized gas, those clouds, sometimes bigger than the actual

sun, travel out into space. its interaction with the earth's atmosphere produces the lights. >> i did get a chance to see it last night when we looked to the north. from here at the chabot space and science center, we could see a faint reddish glow in the sky, mckeegan says. >> the sun is on an 11 year cycle, which means every 10 to 20 years, the northern lights become visible. this far south. >> i've heard my father always say he wanted to see the northern lights, so i had this dream that i would take him there. but it's over here, so i. so it's good that he can see it. >> 14 year old preet pratyusha wants to be an astronomer, so she sees this as a special opportunity. astronomers say saturday night's cloud coverage won't necessarily block the lights, but humidity from the clouds could cause a problem and the lights are too spread out to be seen using a telescope. >> it's something that's unusual , like you cannot see it anywhere else. it's kind of rare. so so i just want to see it. >> mckeegan says. the more intense the geomagnetic storm, the more chances of power outages and disruptions to

electronics such as cell phones and tvs as far as i know, we've had none of that happen yet. >> but stay tuned. >> that's because mckeegan says sunday night will likely produce the most intense light show because of a massive gas release headed towards earth in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> some gorgeous pictures from that light show in that storm. let's check in with lisa. >> all right. zach. well, you know, the upper elevations in our inland valleys, the best spot for that viewing. but you probably knew that as we look out at mount tam, you can see the deck of low clouds this morning. it's 70 degrees up at 2600ft, and we're in the upper 60s over on mount diablo. so beneath the cloud layer, it's cool. in the 50s it's going to take a little while throughout the morning hours for the fog to clear. i'll be back with a look at your sunday high temperatures and the week ahead. next. sounds good lisa. >> thank you. also ahead, east bay law enforcement sued by a local family, is blaming police for the death of a mother and her six year old son and the man

and smashed into their car. dowell and one of her twin sons died in the hospital days later. hercules police had chased the suv driver from i-80 through the city. the wrongful death lawsuit claims officers were reckless and that the chase violated department policies. the suv driver is facing murder charges for the crash. neighbors in san francisco are rallying in support of a man who says he's received not one, but two racist deliveries on his doorstep. we've been following this story here at abc seven, and people gathered in alamo square to show their love for terry williams. he's lived in the area for years , but last month he told us he found a doll with a noose around its neck at his door, along with a piece of paper covered in slurs. last weekend, terry found another racist package with threatening language. terry says he's worried about safety, but seeing so many friends have his back means a lot. >> it's hoping the neighborhood, it's still like everybody's kid behind people. so and they care. so i really i'm really happy about that. i'm real happy.

>> san francisco police say they're investigating both incidents. terry and his neighbors are building a network of security cameras to help keep a closer eye on their area. well, happening right now, part of highway 37 is closed in the north bay so that caltrans crews can make repairs. this is video caltrans shared of that latest construction. the closure is for the eastbound lanes from sears point to vallejo. it is the same stretch that shut down for several weekends last month. we have the detour there for you in green now. the road is set to reopen by 5 a.m. tomorrow, and another closure is planned for next weekend to hopefully finish that work. while the 11th annual y for youth community festival was held in crane cove park, san francisco ymca leadership joined the mayor and city officials for the event. the fundraiser is traditionally been a luncheon tailored to a limited number of donors, but this year event planners chose to, quote, break the mold and create a festival with games and food in downtown hayward. got a taste of aloha with the return of its hawaiian may day festival, the hula association of northern california hosted the event. it

their mothers and for people who may have lost children. so for all mothers and all forms, today is absolutely for you. and one of those mothers of three is meteorologist alisa arjun. tracking the forecast. and what a beautiful day it's shaping up to be this mother's day. >> yeah it is. you know, we have some cooling that really got underway yesterday. and that sea breeze, which we are all used to and in fact may be looking forward to because it has been quite hot in our inland valleys. you get a chance to cool off today. yesterday we did manage those upper 80s, concord and livermore, and today numbers in the mid 80s just coming down a few degrees. but the real impact will be around the bay where numbers will be out of the 80s. in fact, we're looking at some 70s around the bay shore and even 60s as we get closer to oakland. san francisco managed 66 yesterday, and with high pressure in control, the storm track continues to move to the north. but there will be systems to the north of the us and northwest of us that will allow for this steady flow of the low clouds and fog from vollmer peak. yeah. what a gorgeous view

here. the fog is not reached walnut creek, concord or livermore. yesterday we had a little bit of it in concord. so this morning it's sunny to the east, but we're looking at this fog staying put for the next several hours across the bay. 52 in the city, it's 54 in oakland with 60 in san jose and fog in the south bay. as we look at pier 39, a sleepy view here where temperatures have been on the cooler side of average. but elsewhere, that sea breeze allowing for a near average except inland, where we're a bit above average 52 in napa, as well as fairfield, that southwest wind transporting that cooler marine air inland today 53 in livermore. and a look at the oakland airport. so fog near the coast in bay. and as we get into the day to day mother's day lovely out there with mild to warm conditions. so more in line with middle of may averages. and then for the week ahead we've got the sunny days, the mild temperatures, the afternoon sea breeze, the low clouds and fog. each and every day at the coast. so that will dictate the

temperatures allowing for the upper 50s from pacifica and maybe 60s up towards stinson. but as we get out towards fairfield and brentwood, some upper 80s, more like mid to low 80s in other parts of our inland valley. so there's a look at today where the fog pulls back. notice the san mateo coast that we're looking at, that fog just clinging there. a final a further push i should say throughout the delta, maybe even reaching parts of the sacramento valley early monday morning. monday afternoon we're sunny, but we're going to get that breeze once again. and then into tuesday, starting out with the gray sky and then the fog retreating. so it's back to the usual pattern that we would see with lower 80s today for you and concord average highs in the upper 70s. and notice the trend will be for a quiet and pleasant week ahead. so 78 in fremont today. that's cooler than yesterday. low 70s in oakland, mid 80s up in santa rosa. the accuweather seven day forecast. so lovely day for mother's day looking at a further cool down into your monday and then

temperatures kind of stabilize with mid 70s bayside low to mid 80s inland. >> zack lisa thank you. for the first time in five years, lake tahoe is expected to fill up this spring. water managers say it's because back to back wet winters made for an above average snowmelt. the last time tahoe reached this level, that was back in 2019. all right, when we return on abc seven mornings, keeping guns out of the wrong hands. how south bay doctors hope a slow network is no network for business. that's why more choose comcast business. and now, we're introducing ultimate speed for business —our fastest plans yet. we're up to 12 times faster than verizon, at&t, and t-mobile. and existing customers could even get up to triple the speeds... at no additional cost. it's ultimate speed for ultimate business.

shot in the abdomen by his younger brother. they found a gun at home. they thought it was a toy and it fired. and by the time i met him, he was in the hospital for months and had undergone multiple surgeries. >> now, doctors at kaiser permanente redwood city have teamed up with local law enforcement to prevent accidents like that from happening. >> mateo county sheriff's office kindly donated 100 gun locks to our facility, and so we'll be distributing it or dividing it between our redwood city and san mateo pediatric offices. the emergency department and our mental health department. >> while secure enough to keep guns from getting into the wrong hands, the doctors say the devices aren't complicated to use. this doesn't require a battery to charge it or anything complicated like that. it's a very simple, very effective, very safe. and it's been proven to help reduce the risk of accidental firearm discharge, which is the thing where most trying to prevent here, the doctors say the program is all about prevention and not judgment. patients get a screening questionnaire, and one of the questions is to determine

if there is a gun in the home and if yes, is the gun unlocked, unloaded, locked and kept out of a child's reach. >> so if a pediatrician comes across a yes on the questionnaire, it gives us an opportunity to engage in a discussion with parent. yes, in a non-judgmental way. >> the doctors say the locks are just different tools at their disposal to let them continue the work they're already doing. preventative medicine, public health, education and safety. kaiser permanente redwood city joins the sacramento area kaiser permanente facility in rolling out this program. it says the goal now is to expand it to other facilities in our next half hour on abc seven mornings. thousands of canadians forced to leave their homes as the first wildfire of the season burns out of control. and from the courtroom to the campaign trail, how many of donald trump's supporters say they'll

israel may have violated international law in gaza and likely used american supplied weapons to do so. the report saying israel has the knowledge and means to mitigate civilian harm. but the high level of civilian deaths raises substantial questions about whether the idf is using them effectively. in all cases. it also stated more information is needed and details are hard to assess given the conflict with hamas. derek dennis, abc news, new york. >> an un agencies in gaza say they'll run out of food by tomorrow. local bakeries are working, short staffed and don't have enough to continue operations, but the idf says it is working to allow humanitarian aid through the region. and coming up on this week, we'll hear from unicef spokesperson tess ingram about the dire humanitarian situation in gaza as israel orders evacuations. you can watch that full interview on this week at 8 a.m. right here on abc seven and new this morning, thousands of canadians are being told to evacuate because of a fast

has the clouds at 60. you cooled off about three degrees yesterday. and as we look out from vollmer peak, notice the low cloud deck. yes. all the way to the east bay. but it is sunny in walnut creek where as yesterday concord had some of the fog move on in the bases are taller, so that has allowed for the visibility to be better this morning. 50 in santa rosa. it is 52 in napa. and a look at san jose there. so fog this morning is near the coast, but we have the overcast right into the bay. and as we look at mother's day a lovely day today, mild to warm out there. so the heat will be gone. in fact, we're not looking at any more 90 degree heat. we'll have some 80 though inland and the week ahead featuring the sunshine, the mild temperatures and the low clouds and fog coming into play. each and every day even further, as we get into your tuesday, your monday and tuesday morning, here's a look at the sea breeze that develops throughout the afternoon. so if you're in one of those areas

where that fog is just hanging at the coast, it could be a little bit breezier. and as we look at the ballpark today hoping for another win, 59 at about 105 and then 60 degrees west winds at about 17 miles an hour with the reds in town. there's a look as the fog retreats to the coast for your sunday afternoon. monday it gets a further push through the delta , coming back into sunshine throughout the afternoon, and then tuesday we could see temperatures warm slightly as we get a wind shift. but notice the fog still from the san mateo coast to the marin county coast. throughout each and every day. 82 santa clara looking for the upper 70s in sunnyvale today. lots of 70s with that sea breeze from palo alto to redwood city today. mid 70s for you in san mateo downtown near average, but you're going to have a good deal of fog here, so partly cloudy skies 65 in the city. look for 80 in sonoma. so really comfortable here up in the north bay. and you head over to the east bay. it's about 70 in oakland today, upper 60s in

berkeley. a little breezy at times and then 82 for san ramon with some mid 80s out towards brentwood. the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got the lovely day today for all the moms. and as we get into your monday, more fog, some afternoon cooling, especially in our inland valleys and around the bay. and then as we get towards the middle of the week, maybe a couple degrees of warming, and then looking at perhaps a minor dip, of course, as we get closer to the weekend. >> lisa. thank you. a reminder that you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the abc7 bay area connected tv app that is available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. so download the app now and start

the end of the week we could see some cooler numbers. so a little hard to discern, but maybe the breeze picks up and the fog sticks around longer from time to time throughout the morning hours. but overall, i'd say it's pretty nice. >> all right, we'll take it. lisa, thank you so much and thanks for joining us. we'll be back at 9 a.m. for now. have a great day and happy mother's day. >> this is abc 724 seven. >> in san francisco, live at levi stadium in san jose. >> live in oakland. >> yeah. you're watching abc seven news live anytime, anywhere. we are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are where you are. >> never miss a moment of the news that matters to you. download our abc seven bay area
