Look at the satellite view. We have more low clouds forced to rise to the hill tops around the hills of the north bay. Thats probably just enough to give us a few light showers at times today.

Journey ically im drawing that began five years ago in a doctors office. I remember the day that i was first diagnosed. Wow. Reporter stage three cancer is what cameron was told back then. A cancer that has since gone, only to return. The question that posed in my head constantly was why me, why now type of thing . As cheesy as that sounds, thats what a lot of people i feel like go through. This has iridescence reporter it was while dealing with such heavy questions that cameron got a visit from jane siegel, an Expressive Art therapist from the usc. She introduced her to the calm youing, meditative effects of rock painting but it was someone else who opened her eyes to what it could really do. I think it has to do with one of the nurses that i had on the floor. Reporter cameron sensed that nurse could use some therapy herself, so she offered to paint with her. Very healing for me just to paint them. I thought, like it would be great to also have it as a tool, i guess, to help heal other people. This is the fifth floor of the hospital. Reporter it worked so well, cameron knew she was onto something. So she began leaving rocks wa inspirational messages in a hospital courtyard garden for other patients, posting pictures of them on instagram and placing them around her community.

You can see the tippytop of the golden gate bridge. Maybe if we linger on it one more second. There it is down below from the clouds. Nice way to start our saturday morning. I dont know, that fog just never bothers me there. I think it is quite beautiful. Thank you very much for joining us. Im kira klapper. Meteorologist rob mayeda is in with a look at our microclimate forecast. Rob, you can speak so much more eloquently about the fogs and clouds that i can. Take it away. I think that was the perfect description. The fog kind of moving through there as it rises over the hill tops. Enough to get drizzle or light showers to a few places in San Francisco. We will show you the view. The temperatures, were in the upper 50s thanks to the cloud cover and weather system passing by bringing up the winds too. Notice hour by hour, we will probably climb into the low 70s by 1 00 or 2 00 this afternoon. Overall a belowaverage temperature day today with the chance of seeing a few light showers, especially along the coast tonight north bay hills. Highs that ought to be closer to 80 inland today in the low 70s around san jose. 65 near San Francisco, might get close to will start to climb on up. Notice also in the future cast later tonight until about this time tomorrow morning, we could see another round of drizzle or light showers. We will talk more about that and warmup coming our way for tomorrow in a forecast about 16 minutes from now. Back to you. See you in 16, rob. Thanks so much. After more than two decades of a dream, now it becomes reality. B. A. R. T. Is about to take its first passengers through san jose and silicone valley. We have live look for you at the berryessa station in north san jose, where the very first ticketed passenger train will take people in about 30 minutes from now and head to the new milpitas station. The sun is shining. Looks like a great day to go try that new b. A. R. T. Train. Yesterdays ribboncutting ceremony opened the doors to both the kbberryessa and milpit station. The celebratory train took members of the media between the two stations. This despite the huge financial hit b. A. R. T. Is taking. It lost ons could be the key to turning it around. Because what this project is going to do for santa clara and the region is provide that activity we so need as were coming out of a recession. The station is officially open to the public at 8 00 a. M. There are also plans for two more stations, one in downtown san jose and another santa clara but both are still years away. No a step in the return to normalcy in San Francisco as friday night day night is back, including going out to eat for the first time in months. Last night was the first night for Outdoor Dining in the city. Mayor london breed moved up dat from monday, the day after tomorrow, to last night. That sent Restaurant Owners racing, crowds coming and across the city, we saw patios were quite busy. To be honest with you, weve been waiting for this for quite some time. Were all safe because of the distance. When i see it, we put money into the main business, we pay for another personsbartenders, people have families too. Some restaurants without patios have been able to put tables out on their sidewalks and on parking spots. Some have plexiglas up to make customers feel safe. While its a great step to reopening, Restaurant Owners tell us they need to be able to get people inside to get back to precovid staffing and income. And this is all happening as california is easing even more restrictions. Governor gavin newsom says nail salons, tattoo shops be massage parlors can reopen friday the 19th. But that likely wont happen in the majority of the bay area because our Health Leaders have erred on the side of caution when it comes to post covid reopenings. When those businesses can and do reopen in the bay area, they will be required to follow extensive safety guidelines, including more intense cleaning practices. Additionally, workers and customers must wear face masks. In Solano County, they have been leading the reopening effort. Just yesterday the county marked yet another milestone allowing bars and gyms to reopen. Things arent quite the same, of cour course. Inside the bars and bar tops remain closed. And they must wear masks. As with other bay area counties, Solano County is seeing a rise in coronavirus cases. A 13 jump in the infection rate in just the last week. Mixed feelings. Everything is scary. Because im borderline on that old guy can get it real easy. Because of my age and i have a lot of the conditions that you have to worry about it. But the Solano CountyHealth Department tells us the rise in cases is not tied to these reopenings. They say new cases are likely traced to larger family gatherings, to commuting and to working conditions. As counties continue to reopen, people are expressing their anger over Police Brutality in different ways. One way is by taking down or defacing statues that some say represent oppression. Its happening all over the country and its happening right here in the bay area. This Christopher Columbus statue in San Francisco that stands below coit tower recently was defaced once again. Columbus hands and face painted red. Visitors coming to see the statue tell us they have mixed emotions about this vandalism. He brought diseases, petulance, he insights people and just an overall bad person that shouldnt have a statue to begin with. Some of us cant put ourselves in that position and understand. But lets spend our time trying to come together instead of making one more place in the world even uglier. Across the u. S. , cities and statues that are considered symbols the slavery and racial violence. Some believe these symbols are a slap in the face to africanamericans who continue to find themselves fighting for justice. Last night in San Francisco, this was a rally on the steps of city hall led by young members of the naacp. They are vowing never to forget george floyd, who died after a Police Officer put a knee to his neck for nearly nine minutes. These demonstrators took their knees for others who were killed by police. With this rally, with this protest, like i think theres a chance for more people, for youth to come and feel more comfortable speaking out against racism and against the injustices of like within our communities. The warriors organization, along with the africanamerican San Francisco police association, supported yesterdays rally. Police officers told the crowd they are outraged over what happened to george floyd, and that they support major changes to San Franciscos Police Department. Now to seattle where protesters hit the streets for a statewide day of action. Hundreds of people held signs and marched to honor and mourn the lives of those lost to Police Brutality. Seattle police have come under scrutiny after they used flashbang devices and tear gas to move a large group of protesters last weekend. The federal judge yesterday ordered seattle to temporarily stop using tear gas and pepper spray to break up peaceful protests. The symbol of the black lives Matter Movement first painted on the streets of the nations capital. And now its come to the bay area. First in oakland and now in San Francisco. Reporter sometimes you march, sometimes you paint. These volunteers picked up brushes and rollers and bright yellow paint to create a lasting message, black lives matter. Spelled out in big, bold letters on bolton street, in the shadow of San Franciscos city hall. S it all about capturing the moment were in right now. Were in a moment of empauschment for black people and people of color. Reporter andre jones, also known as natty rebel, is the artist behind the murals both in oakland and now a second in San Francisco. Sometimes you need big they say the writing is on the wall but the writing is on the streets so you need that inspiration. Reporter inspiration, he says, in a revived effort to fight racism and Police Brutality and its catching on around the country. People are fed up. Some people, everybody cant be on the frontlines and fight. Some people are not equipped for that. Some people know how to pray. Some people know how to paint. 346 lake raymond brought her 2year too.
