But since we started high school, this road has been changing under our feet. We faced hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. Violence in our neighborhoods and on our campuses. Weve lost icons we admired so much and loved ones we miss so dearly. We have believed and sometimes we walked out of school for our beliefs. Then 2020 came. Our year. Well, we all know whats been happening. Such a beautiful video, a moving video made by two bay area graduating seniors, kyle and jordan, from the school of the arts in San Francisco. And happening today, that very same video of theirs is going to be featured during the virtual graduation even, dear class of 2020, thats the fourhour commencement even including the obamas, beyonce, and dozens of other celebrities. You can imagine these two seniors are thrilled to be included. What we were saying was resonating with more than just the people in our local community, that this is kind of a shared belief among all class of 2020 graduates. And so the fact that its gone to the places that it has is so exciting for us. Abc 7 got a chance to interview kyle and jordan last week. They said they wanted to do something to empower their fellow students that wasnt so negative. So they spent their free time working on this project, hoping to share its message with their school and now they get to share it with the entire country. Thats incredible.

The live stream event is on youtube starting at noon today. A shoutout, lisa, to those students, because boy, theyre talented. So many neat things coming out of this, who would think, right . We not only have the wind to contend with, but the cooler than average temperatures. I dont know if you heard but we saw snow in the sierra last night, and still chilly temperatures there with the possibility of thunderstorms, hail, and very gusty winds. As we look at live done lowerpp quiet, right . Were under the influence of this trough to the north of us. You can kind of see it carving out from oregon to northern california, where it was snowing in the mountains early this morning. With that cooler air mass in place, were looking at temperatures below average. And those winds as High Pressure sits offshore. It will build in but the temperature gradients are struggling to try to equalize that pressure. And thats why we get the wind. San jose with a few clouds around. It is 56 right now in the city, 62 in oakland. Good morning, redwood city, 57. 61 in san jose. Mid50s, pacifica. Gusty once again at the coast. Were talking winds probably up to near 40 miles an hour. One of those windier locations, point reyes, perhaps. 59 santa rosa, petaluma. Delta, in the mid60s. Upper 50s, low 60s in our inland valleys. Curent check of our winds right now, you can see how breezy it is from oakland to hayward, anywhere from 20 to 25 miles per hour. Pretty clouds here in san jose. Breezy winds, windy coast. Warming trend tomorrow. Then we get that wind shift. Instead of northwesterly winds, winds will back off, allowing for High Pressure to warm us up. Here is today, 30 to 40mileperhour winds. As they back off, the direction changes. As dew points are lower today, it will get even lower with the north winds. And the relative humidity as well will get low. So were always concerned about fire danger in the sacramento valley. Still breezy winds. Even with this onshore flow decreasing a bit, were still going to see those north winds throughout the bay area. So not helping in the firefighting efforts. In fact, a little bit worse, because theyre out of that drier component, that drier direction, and allowing for instead of a moist flow, a dry flow there. With higher numbers, well look for increased fire danger. Into tuesday, looking at low 90s, a warmer day for everyone. Looking at wednesday, mid90s. 80 around the bay. But usually were getting close to those 100s, right, you would think midweek. No. Well cool it back on thursday, with temperatures comfortable. But it looks like for today, the coolest day of the week. How about 62 in Half Moon Bay, 68 in fremont with low 70s in the north bay. The accuweather sevenday forecast, were windy at the coast, breezy around the bay. Lighter onshore winds tomorrow. Still breezy north winds. Then looking at tuesday, wednesday, our warmest days with 90s inland. A bit of cooling thursday. On friday, numbers drop again for that usual pattern. Less than two weeks away, liz, from the official start of summer. But you know, around here that means a lot of fog. Right, in the city for sure. What can we say, at least its summer. Longer days for sure. Thanks, lisa. Ahead, the Important Role kids are now playing in the protests. Will invisalign aligners really work for my smile. Is there a better alternative to braces .
