Well its going to get better this afternoon after a daytime highs rise into the 70s 80s just setting us up for nice one ahead of us High Pressure is about to Start Building back in and this is going to switch things up into the weekend actually quite the weather whiplash ahead of us and a lot of it has to do with wind direction weve enjoyed a steady onshore breeze during the course of this week that is push ocean cool there right in across the bay kept things pretty mild were trading this out with an offshore wind this is going to drag hot dry air from our inland valleys, our direction and in the process is going to heat things up and result in height heightened fire danger. Inland areas of the east bay well see winds gusting as high as 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour come saturday through monday and thats when these fire weather watch is likely to become red flag warnings will take effect due to this a strong wind hot weather and also low humidity all of Solano County to be affected and then upper are in sonoma and napa counties too so keep that in mind as you step outside this weekend. We have to practice practice, extreme caution as fire danger increases as rapidly as well, 60s and 70s for your highs and San Francisco as well as right along the coastline today, more sunshine at the coast means a warmer day for the coastline to 70s for most of our bayside areas but a touch warmer along the bay to as we trade in the gray morning yesterday with what will be nice bright skies, not too long from now after the sun comes up 70s and 80s, not just for the south bay either but out into the bay even our hottest of spots dodging the 90s 88 unconquered as well as up in vacaville napa 83 benicia right there with santa rosa through mill valley in the upper 70s to low 80s to and friday will keep the nice stuff around 70s and 80s will remain the standard as we round out the week. Then come saturday and what weve been talking about just how hot it is going to be getting upper 90s to triple digits for land areas come sunday and monday with the low 90s right along the bay with offshore winds kicking up we will see increased fire danger on the same days. Robin all right, thank you john over to the beirut itself where the line is long it is officially packed up the pay gates heading into San Francisco. The line continues to stretch beyond west grand. Its going to go right through the toll plaza up the incline so 150 minutes right now into San Francisco, heres 92 and its busy as well it started off a little crowded in the 4 oclock hour. Its getting heavier by the minute so 14 minutes and growing to the peninsula with no trouble spots. But we do have a new problem on the nimitz the same spot as our old crash northbound 8. 80 at the thats where we had a hot spot this morning as still wrapping up. Another crash happened in the same area right and thats a total exit. So now we have several lanes blocked again and thats why its crawling from thorton the overall drive time not too bad want to get through that crashed there 24 minutes from to 37 off to to 38 james back to you i would use. Well in San Francisco, at least 2 schools are now allowing in person classes and these are schools that were inspected and approved to reopen. The schools are redbridge eduoation thats in the dogpatch neighborhood and the San Francisco school in the portola neighborhood. Temperatures go county launched a new online tool for parents to check out it shows how many schools have applied for waivers how many have been inspected and then of course how many have been given the green light to reopen. If youd like to take a look we posted a link to that tool on our website kron 4 dot com. In the east bay schools in Alamance County will be allowed to reopen if the county remains in the red tier for 2 weeks, but the Teachers Union for oakland Public Schools are warning against resuming in person classes too soon. We have safety criteria that still needs to be negotiated. Agreed upon before return to he doing any in Person Learning we have to make sure that were Holding Community safety student safety. In the highest regard because as weve seen across the country and even internationally. Casey of children contracting and spreading covid have been on the rise. Alameda countys most recent health order clarified that schools must continue Distance Learning until local conditions support in Person Learning. In the south bay Santa Clara County is in the red tier been there for 2 weeks now that means schools can start in person classes. But the San Jose Unified School district is going to continue with Distance Learning at least through the end of the year, a spokesperson says the district doesnt feel safe and comfortable yet enough to welcome students back to class. Because there are other things that are in the county guidelines that are still prohibited right indoor gatherings for example and from our perspective if people cant gather indoors than it doesnt make a lot of sense to put 30 kids in a classroom together which seems similar to an indoor gathering. 28,000 students go to the schools in san jose and the district says theyre not ready to regularly test all of the students for covid juneteenth is now paid holiday in the south bay Santa Clara County became the first county in california. To approve this designation and that means that every june 19th most county offices will be closed and most county employees, well get a paid day off. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation emancipation of black slaves in the u. S. , the emancipation proclamation was passed by president lincoln in january of 1865, but it took union soldiers, 5 months to get to Galveston Texas to let everybody know that they were free.

Thats a bring the casket into the building, you know there are its its like a chess for the way theyre standing at attention all of the law clerks. That has served under her and youre beginning to see them in the shot now she has meant so much obviously. To a whole group of lawyers who have come up through the ages ever since she was a budding lawyer was very difficult for her as a woman obviously being the i think there are 9 women, she was one of 9 women, a class of 500. Harvard law i love her are quote to women and really the people. No matter who you are that she says you can have it all just not at the same time she thats how she. Spent her life as a as a woman as a mother. You know raising children and raising in this country about peoples rights of walks of life of all color of all ethnicity of all religion, yeah that champion of equality. Both in the workplace at home as you said for you know for both men and women and 4. You know a good number of the Lgbtq Community to later in her. Career on the bench. She was pivotal in a lot of landmark decisions that. Were hard fought for many years that ended up in the Supreme Court and she had a big hand in some of those major decisions that woven together the capture of our country today she was the woman on the Supreme Court. Back in the day they used to confuse her with Sandra Day Oconnor and they had tshirts, you know that said i am not sandy i am not. Rose. And she said when sometimes im asked when will there be enough women on the Supreme Court and she says my answer is when there are 9 now there are only 8 justices on the court and that seat that she left could be filled by a woman a woman much different ideologically than her. But the president President Trump is pushing through with his nominee to replace or on the bench just days after she died and that could very well come as soon as saturday between now and then of course its all about remembering the late justice and the impact shes had i chuckled a moment ago when you when you made that comment about you know. Their sense of humor and thats really what struck me not only was she incredibly bright incredibly smart yeah ferocious advocate and and an an argue were for her point of view but she was also incredibly. Selfeffacing and her sense of humor is something that really did touch a lot of people in rocketed her to you know pop culture status to the notorious rbg sure that we know and love today and a lot of kids only nowhere has that she was branded that because shes such a you know a trailblazer and a bold the center on the court. She would you spare expensive explaining exactly where she stood on something. And i another thing that she said she said never use for words when 3 will do and short and sweet. And but she did but she was also very patient and knowing that it was going to take years and years and years and generations to change things and so she said that earned her a key was to make arguments in a way that would gain supporters and here she is with her ideological opposite. And best friend on my court and isnt that something that people so polar opposite. In their in their jerseys aaronson in their views could behind the scenes be such great friends and thats just a you know a testament to how. How even handed she was as a person and in her judgments as well that you know. Theres are arguments over the law and then theres us personally and we can get along and still disagree this is something that you know the country needs more of these days but how you can disagree on things and yet still be cordial and still be friendly with each other really an incredible woman she will be missed and there she is with barack obama the president not the president that appointed her that was bill clinton now were going inside. Rotunda of the Supreme Court. And watch her casket and here during this portion of the ceremony were going to have members of the supreme the other justices of the Supreme Court in their spouses on one side of the casket and then opposite them. Seeded will be family and friends of the late justice and we are going continue to carry to some of the ceremony thats happening inside we know will be a couple speakers that are scheduled to address of those that are in attendance, one of them being a rabbi who will do the invocation. Rabbi lauren holt splat actually her husband articles but was a law clerk for Justice Ginsburg back not to the october term of 2014, so theres a long history there so she will give the opening remarks and were here but she has to say im sure will be a lot of personal recollections Ruth Bader Ginsburg as justice see it didnt even miss a day of the court up until 2018 for oral arguments. Even the day after her own husband passed away of cancer in 2010. And theyll both be hes already buried at Arlington National cemetery, she will be buried there as well. She made it through so many bouts of cancer. Pancreatic cancer cancer lung cancer. And kept going through chemotherapy through everything and never missing oral til twentyeighteen and then finally the pancreatic cancer took her life and we can see on the far side of the casket. There those are the other justices of the Supreme Court we saw chief justice. John roberts hes going to be delivering some comments as well i saw Justice Sotomayor has sought Justice Clarence there and theyre all there with their spouses and then on the in the foreground what you cant see because its too close to the camera that is where family and friends of justice. Ginsburg will be seated while we listen to the ceremony take place this morning what a thing to you know. She always marveled at the fact that she was a Supreme Court justice when her own mother worked in a sweatshop garment factory in one generation that you could go from that to this and now lying in state in the capitol on friday first woman in history ever to do that its its something to see funny brought other yeah, one of the against convert quotes that i love to this day and also showed her sense of humor was a quote that she said are a bit of advice of her mother gave 4 years ago, yeah that said in marriage and in work. Its always good to be just a little bit death. Im sorry how do you think we get a lot thats right exactly and she did as hes what to say it again she got along with everybody on on the high court. He even those that she was. Against when it came to their ideologies in and their thoughts about. Rights and discrimination something that she champion friend die or live life. I i just kind of a hit me this morning that you can sync ruth for so many things in your life. That employers cant discriminate against you based on your gender bias if you are pregnant if youre a woman, you get paid the same. As a man if youre able to go to school. She couldnt even do that there were just you know laws against women going to the same schools, Virginia Military Institute Change that. So many things at and men can thank her for being able to stay home and take care of the kids and get the same benefits that women do so she really was about a gender equality for all. And we will continue to bring you live coverage of the honoring of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. This morning stay 6. 42 right now we want to listen to the discuss the death of passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In a moment i will speak to what she meant to all of us. But first. I would like to turn to her beloved family. The justice was a mother. A grandmother. And as we all know had one of the most extraordinary Life Partners in her beloved marty. To each of you. To the justices colleagues. To her law clerks. And to her court family. The country mourns with you and send you our deepest love and comfort. To be born into a world that does not see you. That does not believe in your potential. That does not give you a pass for opportunity. Or a clear path for education. And despite this to be able to see beyond the world you are in to imagine that something can be different. That is the job of a profit. And it is the rare profit not only imagines a new world. But also makes that new world, a reality in her lifetime. This was the brilliance and vision of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. That is relentless in reminding instructing in commanding. That we never forget those who live in the shadows. Those whose freedom and opportunity are not guaranteed. 36 times were taught that we must never forget the stranger. 12 times we are told to care for the widow and the orphan. This is one of the most important commandments of the torah. It is the taurus call to action. And it is also the promise written into our constitution. As Justice Ginsburg said, and i quote. Think back to 1787. Who were we the people. They certainly werent women. They surely werent people held in human bondage. The genius of our constitution is that now over more than 200. Sometimes turbulent years. That we has expanded and expanded. This was Justice Ginsburgs lifes work. To insist that the constitution deliver on its promise. That we the people would include all the people. She carried out that work in every chapter of her life. As an advocate arguing 6 times before this court for equal treatment for women and men. As a judge on the dc circus circuit and as a justice on this court. And as a pass marking role model to women and girls of all ages. Who now know that no offices out of reach for their dreams. Whether that is to serve in the highest court of our land. Or closer to home for me as the rabbi of their community. Nothing could stop Justice Ginsburgs unflagging devotion to this project. Not even cancer. Justice ginsburg. Mid or lead or. From generation to generation. We promise to Carry Forward your legacy. May you rest under the wings of the stena knowing that you have tirelessly served us and this great country. The United States of america. Police arrest. And shall say the its a mental side on task come has now you are he is inside the Supreme Court bader ginsburg, the justice who died.

Robin its packed up the bay bridge toll plaza for folks heading into San Francisco make sure you get out there early because theres a long line thats starting to spill back to the bottom of the maze of guess it has reached that point were averaging 14 minutes to fremont street. Also crowd on one oh one leaving san jose northbound from 6 ad up to 8. 80 but to the peninsula, youre fine and 2 crashes wrapping up 8 80 north at the right there in the same spot traffic is slow out of fremont from thornton rolling into union city area. Thank you very much robert want to take you back to live coverage here of the Memorial Service for late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg with chief Justice John Roberts speaking now lets listen after call me. And describe some upcoming occasion or event that was important to them. And i knew what was coming. Could i come and speak. But no instead could i pass along an invitation to Justice Ginsburg and put in a good word. Many of you have seen the famous picture of Justice Scalia and Justice Ginsburg riding atop an elephant in india. It captured so much of ruth there. She was doing something totally unexpected.
