and the bay area gets failing grades for filthy air. a closer lack at the factors putting our health at risk. and the clash between dueling protests one after california colleges and the open campments spreading to campuses across the country. live from the cbs studios in san francisco we'll begin in berkeley this evening. the job of a firefighter has always been competitive but as departments work to increase their diversity, they're actively trying to recruit more women. this weekend, the berkeley fire department hosted a special camp to give young women a hands-on demonstration of what the job involves. and john ramos has the story. >> reporter: they used to be firmen and now they're firefighters. that's because history taught us when it comes to being a first responder ability matters more than gender. >> harder. harder. you got it. come on. >> i was definitely not expecting this. i was more expecting like -- a class

environment. >> reporter: if she thought she was going to spend the weekend in a classroom, she got a surprise when she found herself dressed in full turnouts climbing a 30-foot ladder. >> i got to a point where i started to panic and i was going to stop. but i kind of just like -- told myself that i could do it. and i came here for a reason. so. yeah. >> reporter: she is one of three dozen young women invited to first in fire camp sponsored by the berkeley fire department. purpose was to recruit more women to the fire service but the first challenge is convincing them that they can do it. >> a lot of the firefighters we have here, their dad or uncle or brother did it too. a lot of times if you don't physically see it as woman or anybody, you may not know that's something you can do. that's what we're trying to explore here. look, this is doable. like this -- some of the skills we do and this is how you can practice and get better and just the introduction. >> fast.

>> reporter: that introduction included hands-on introduction in the use of a chip saw and proper technique for exiting a technique on to a ladder and basic medical skills. none was easy especially for beginners but the positive reinforcement from the veteran firefighters most of them women helped a lot. >> i think the women that are in our fire service go out to do the recruitings and they see the real life example. and this is another one where it's real life example of them teaching them what to do. that they are getting motivated. >> reporter: london price seemed pretty motivated. realizing she could lug a heavy fire hose up and down two flights of stairs. may have rekindled a desire to become a firefighter. >> when i was younger i thought about it only because i got hyperfix sated on a firefighter. that's going to be me and then it died. but now it is me. [ laughter ] >> reporter: they say people come to the fire service for different reasons. for her, it's a desire to help people in need. and that includes her

own parents. >> i'm glad i came here. i have learned a lot of things and i definitely learned that i want to make this into a career. >> it would mean a lot for me but mostly a lot for my parents because they came here with nothing and i want to give them everything they couldn't give me. so. >> reporter: so this would mean a lot to them. >> and me. >> reporter: as well as to yourself right? the global is to get more young women into the fire fighting academies. camps like this help them understand that yessing they do belong there. >> women make up only about 14% of the berkeley fire department staff. they've been holding the annual fire camp for women since 2017. well, who can forget this day back in 2020? remember when the sky turned that eerie orange color. and you know it was because of wildfire smoke driven our way from some of the biggest fires in state history. fires and general are the main reason why the bay area has some of the unhealthiest air in the country according to a new report from in american lung

association. the state of the air report card ranked the bay area the fifth worst out of more than 200 metropolitan areas for annual particle pollution. we were seventh worst for exposure to short-term particle solution and 12th worst for ozone pollution. almost every bay area county got a failing grade for short term spikes in particle pollution but also everyday sources that do contribute to bad air. and amanda h ari breaks down that report. >> reporter: the bay area is one of the most impacted regions in the country when it comes to bad air quality, according to the american lung association. >> a lot of change. a lot of, you know, a lot of -- the air is changing. >> reporter: we caught up with hewitt at beatman park in berkeley and she likes being outside but the air quality recently started causing her problems she said. >> i don't like -- a year, a

year and a half. yeah. i never had allergy before. now -- my eye, itching and my nose and my face. >> reporter: show says she tries to stay away from pollutants. but will barrett senior director of clean air advocacy with the ala says it's impossible to avoid all the things that are impacting the air. >> when you think about the everyday sources of air pollution, especially things like, you know, pollution coming out of the port, for example, these are -- major sources of pollution that are impacting us every day. but there's also, when you lay your hand on top of that the wildfire smoke episodes that we've seen over recent years, it's really adding to the challenges of keeping the air clean for every community. >> reporter: wildfires are major contributors setting california and the bay area apart from other areas. melissa london, a scientist with acclima a company that measures

and analyzes air pollution and greenhouse gases says she's not surprised by the results of the ala study. she says the high level of particulate matter or p.m. in the air can be detrimental to people's health. >> high p.m. levels impact almost every aspect of your body but certainly they're known to increase like -- asthma and cardiovascular system. high p.m. concentrations have been linked to, you know, higher incidences of morbidity and mortality. >> reporter: london says even though she doesn't have asthma os other sensitivities, the air quality still affects her. >> i feel the air quality impacts my health when i'm exercising and i like to -- go and run and ride my bike and on days with bad air quality. especially days with -- high p.m., i won't do it l. >> reporter: barrett says the air quality affects people with pre-existing conditions worse than others. >> people with asthma, heart

disease and other illnesses are a bit greater risk though. even one day of unhealthy air can trigger a health emergency ranging from asthma attacks to heart attacks or strokes. and in long-term cases with particle pollution, lung learn and prethatture death. >> reporter: when it's particularly bad, people in sensitive groups should reduce their time outdoors and use a hepa air cleaner while inside. when denny says if things continue on this trajectory, she worries for future generations. >> continue like this, yeah. this is going to continue like this, you know, everything is making me -- you worry now. yeah. for a lot of kids. yeah. >> the ala says that one thing that is reducing smog more electric vehicles on the road. and coming up in our next half hour, we have a look at how the state is partnering with tesla to make it easier for all ev owners to keep their cars running. in other news, on this sunday evening, a clash on the

campus of ucla today. anti-war protesters clashed with a pro israel group. this happened while the two groups were adjacent to each other and you can imagine what happened. ucla spokesperson says somebody knocked over the barrier separating the groups. but they're not sure who. >> i feel like the other side is really -- just call everyone hamas supporters and they just call everyone like terrorists. >> today's events here are sadly typical of what's happening on america's college campuses, which is bullying, and harassment of jews. >> ucla says protesters' activity on campus had mostly been peaceful before today. no word if anybody was hurt during the clash. here in the bay area, a look from uc berkeley and stanford over the past few days. protesters say they will not leave until the university agrees to divest itself of any programs with an economic benefit for israel. >> they said they're going to shut us down and we're still

here. so. yeah. sometimes they come by just to try and scare us and take photos of us but we're holding strong. >> as for the war, president biden was on the phone with benjamin netanyahu today warning against a new israeli assault on the city of rafah and gaza. also discussed the latest ceasefire negotiations at the same time secretary of state antony blinken left for the region today to join those talks in-person. this is his seventh visit since the war began back in october. and still ahead here at 6:00 a first of its kind surgery for patients with prosthetic limbs. how it is giving one veteran hope for a much more active life. >> i want to even -- more mobility and more life and that's what i chose this. the return of a blockbuster video. sort of. the new bay area lending library providing patrons with a blast from the past.

norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. i gotta get this deal... that's like $20 a month per unlimited line... i don't want to miss that. that's amazing doc. mobile savings are calling. visit xfinitymobile.com to learn more. doc?

beautiful finish to a sunday. out there. two more people walked away with rare coins today in that scavenger hunt that we've been tracking in the past few days. a coin shop owner in the marina district organized this treasure hunt in honor of national coin week. he posted clues showing spots around the san francisco where he hid a total of 11 coins. and today at noon, he posted two more photos, one from the marina and another showing one of the piers at fort mason. and our photographer got there in less than 45 minutes but somebody beat him to it. cope was wedged in the stump of a tree inside a small envelope. >> missed yesterday. but was able to actually score today. with this lovely 1877 trade

dollar. there were definitely 20, 30 people and everyone is kicking the grass and turning over stones and looking underneath the bench. >> coins are worth between $250 and $2,500. that's -- is that a morgan head? wow. that will be nice. the owner of the witter coin shop stopped by the studios this morning and max darrow asked him why he did this to begin with. there's been so many people -- >> i took my granddaughter out and we explored san francisco and just families to get out there and have fun and hopefully they find coin and hopefully it intrigues them. hopefully they discover the wonderful world of copes. >> pretty cool and indian head penny i think. you can see more from that interview on our website, kpix.com. speaking of rare finds, remember blockbuster video? in its hayday blockbuster had 9,000 stores globally. and 65 million registered customers. these days, only one store

remains in oregon, i didn't even know one remained whose motto is "till the bitter end" but itay hod reports the blockbuster saga is now getting an unexpected sequel. >> reporter: if you're one of the last holdouts to own a vcr, you may want to dust it off, as blockbuster is making a comeback. well, sort of. thomas brungardt and tony bernasconi are the owners of the traveling museum, a vintage store in benicia. recently they took their huge selection of vhs tapes and dvds and launched the town's first ever free blockbuster. think one of those lending libraries, but instead of books, they're filled with old movies. >> we've got "gidget," "you've got mail," "seven years in tibet." >> reporter: since then, the old newspaper box painted in blockbuster's iconic blue and yellow colors has quickly become the hottest ticket in town.

>> as a kid, i would spend hours in the movie store just picking up boxes and reading the blurbs and reading the reviews. >> reporter: kristin demers, a business owner, remembers hitting her first blockbuster store when she was just a child. fast forward to today, she's back at it. >> like there was one summer where i must have rented like five movies from blockbuster every week. >> reporter: and it's not just in benicia. these so-called free blockbusters are popping up across the country and beyond. >> i am surprised by the reaction every day. >> reporter: it all started when brian morrison, a movie producer and former blockbuster employee, set up the first box in los angeles. he says this blockbuster reboot is a plot twist he never saw coming. do you even know how many of these boxes are out there? >> it's hard to put an exact number on it. but we have over 200 locations in the u.s., canada, mexico, the uk and australia.

>> reporter: but not everyone is on board with this idea. dish, the company that owns the brand, recently sent brian a letter asking him to stop using their trademark. and while he says he's barred from discussing details, he was able to tell us this much. >> is it something that can be stopped? >> reporter: thomas and tony say these blockbuster stands are a reminder to be kind and rewind. not just the tape, but life itself. >> just takes us back to being, you know, 5, 6 years old at home watching the same tape over and over again. >> reporter: hitting play on nostalgia. by thinking outside the box. >> free blockbuster's website shows a number of location in the bay area and including san jose, oakland and rohnert park. and now time for first alert meteorologist darren peck with what's ahead. hey darren. >> going to be windy again for the next few days brian. a lot like it was today in the afternoon. and then winds are going to turn off and we're going back to 80.

>> nice. >> that's not getting here until the end of next week. walk through the details and we have a little bit of a warm-up today. daytime highs today were a couple of degrees above where they were yesterday. not much. maybe like two degrees. but we still started warming up you see where the averages are on there. but you probably noticed more than the temperatures were the wind. strong northerly wind have been moving through the bay pretty consistently for the past two days and going to do it again for the next two. watch 4:00 tomorrow. just like today. 20-mile an hour winds moving through pretty much the immediate bay and that was monday. here comes tuesday. we're going to do it again. and the temperatures are pretty much going to stay put. so what's going on here. what's going on with in daily surge of wind? it is actually connected to what has been a national news story. you have probably seen pictures of the intense severe storms and the tornadoes that have gone through the midsection of the country. those storms, before they get over there, they have to go through us. we had one on

friday. yesterday. actually, the day before yesterday was friday. probably didn't even notice thing but if you look at the atmosphere you can see it. look at the dive right there. drier air comes through and weak area of low pressure and we felt the wind and didn't get anythingelse from it. but as the system continues to move east. look at the dry air filtering into it which then clashes with the warm moist air coming up from the gulf and that's where you have the nasty weather. all connected. getting the same systems we barely feel them which this time of year they turn into monsters back in the midsection of the country. we do feel them in a subtle way. because as each one of these comes in and here comes the next two, you can see them going by to our north. they're not doing much down here. but watch the winds. here comes the one tomorrow. northerly winds. we're going to feel it. and then another one is going to come through on tuesday. this is kind of classic spring actually. because as you get into the time of year the systems are losing their ability to really do much here. but they come by to the north and we feel the

wind and that's about it and then of course spring is -- when we really get the most intense thunderstorms through the midsection of the country. so for the next two days that's the way it's going to go here. and here's the comparison. for daytime highs. this is pretty much what we did today. but we're looking at tomorrow's forecast. those are monday's numbers and i'm going to switch this now to friday. thursday, friday. that's when we switch this pattern and we're going to be done with the -- current setup and by thursday, the winds going to turn off, the systems will give us a little bit of a break passing by to our north. so we won't get windy and the temperatures really jump. by the time we get to thursday night daytime highs inland approaching 80 and friday is going to be the warmest day in the 7 day forecast so we can see that on here when we take a look at -- the numbers for san francisco and oakland. yeah, there's a chance for a drop of rain on there on saturday. i'm just not superimpressed with it. so i don't have really anything in there officially for the forecast. even if the forecast models want to jump ahead and put drop of rain in there on saturday. i think more

than anything else what saturday is, is a noticeable cooldown and look at the temperatures. for san jose. from 80 on thursday and friday and then you are going to cool back down to the upper 60s by the the time we get to saturday. all right, uncle vern over to you. >> all right. straight ahead in sports, we got the nfl's highest bay area draft pick. here's the hint. wine country. and a giants' fourth series win of the season made for a solid home stand. that and more, stick around.

all right, baseball up top and the giants 6-4 home stand. good enough to claim second in the nl west. they finished up with the pirates and in mccovey cove if you are feeling it. cut it loose. all right, now let's pick it up here. san francisco starter keatonwinn. fellow has been on fire. five punchys

allowed one run in six innings. winn has allowed one run in each of the last three starts. first pitch of the bottom of the 3rd, estrada boom. his fourth home run of the year, woke up the scoreboard. and in the next at-bat, mike yastrzemski and yes, he went yard. first time the giants have gone back-to-back jacks this season. so let's move to the 9th inning. one run lead and another former giant joey bart at the plate. two runners on and duvall. got bart to ground out and end the game. giants' record to 14-15. the g-men fly to boston tomorrow for a tuesday series at the red sox. new orioles' part owner cal ripken jr. at camden yards. bottom of the 4th and baltimore up a run and ramone urias and made it two. took paul

blackburn the distance and 6-4 orioles. to the 9th down a run. one on. a's kyle mccann swung and dropped the bat and knew it was gone. hello second 9th inning comeback of the weekend. the a's won it 7-6 and took the series from one of the best teams in the american league. oakland now 12-17 is back home tomorrow against the pirates. off to the nba. jason kidd oakland great. his mavericks were thinking a 3-1 series lead on the clippers in white. paul george struck with a three. clippers without kawhi leonard led think 31 points and george with seven threes and he scored 33 but look dallas came back. irving with tough fourth quarter lay-in. mavericks up one. irving led dallas with 40 but the clippers got the last laugh. black beard. james harden. scored 15 of his 33 in the fourth. they hung on and won, 116-111. that evened the series at two games in the west. headed back to l. a..

in the east, joel embiid and the 76ers were looking to even their series with the knicks. but they couldn't stop jalen brunson. he poured in 47 points. broke king's single game franchise playoff record for most points and new york beat philly, 97-92. and have a 3-1 series lead. the 2024 nfl draft is come and gone. and the raiders with its first round pick selected tight end and napa native brock bowers. i had chance to catch up with the georgia bulldog all-american after he got the call from the silver and black. >> man, it was unbelievable. i was sitting there just waiting for the call and it came out nowhere and it was awesome. >> the camera caught you on the way to the couch. must have just gotten off the phone. either with hi agent or the phone with the raiders. it was crazy huh? >> yeah. yeah. no. i mean i got off the phone and went straight to the couch and everyone was

hooping and high schoolering and they thought i was going to the broncos but everyone is freaking out. but -- yeah. no. i mean, it was -- it was awesome. >> isn't it funny how fate plays a hand? you grew up in napa and you go to napa high school. the raiders trained at the napa valley marriott. >> no, that was actually middle schoolment they were oh by the middle school. i went to middle school where they did training camp so yeah it was pretty cool and i have come full circle. >> just looking back from playing ball in the house, your dad throwing ball and you jumping up and catching them on the couch to going to georgia and doing well there. how much is always of that kind of flashed before you leading up to now? >> yeah. i mean, just think about everything in the past. and i mean, just being home for the week. and just kind of being able to hang out around family and old friends and i mean, just really -- it's just really professional to see how far everything has came. and i mean, it's just -- just

awesome. >> mega, megafan of brock's mom. she made that interview happen from that watch party. and it's all worked out. his parents now will just have a short plane ride over to vegas to see him play. >> well. a proud mother of course she made it happen. yeah. sounds like a good story. thanks vern. coming up in our next half hour, the innovative surgery that could change everything for patients with prosthetic limbs. plus, survive and thrive. how small business owners in oakland are trying to overcome challenges in their neighborhoods. and later, why six seals

now at 6:30, mom and pop shops in oakland hoping small business week is exactly what they need to survive. we focus so much on downtown san francisco's problems. but oakland is also struggling from the aftermath of the pandemic. nearly a third of the offices in the city's central business district were sitting empty at the beginning of the year. but the same study found an interesting trend. the amount of foot traffic in oakland was up by over 20%. and another lift came on friday when horn barbecue reopened at its new location downtown. the original restaurant burned to the ground in november. da lin shows how small businesses are trying to attract more visitors. >> reporter: at this downtown oakland bar, it's wine with a twist. >> women only make up 5% of the

industry. and people of color make up probably 3% and black producers make up 1%. and the wine industry is a multibillion dollar industry. so what i wanted to do is reverse engineer the industry and provide retail space specifically for the underrepresented wine makers and give them a platform to my audience. >> reporter: business owner alicia kits says all the wines at her tasting room are made by women and people of color. >> i wanted to bring the wine country, napa and sonoma, to oakland. >> reporter: cocoa nori wine shop and bar owned at the corner of 13th and webster streets in december of 2022. alicia says business initially got off to a very strong start. >> with the crime. it has -- my business has decreased in sales but it's slowly trending upward now that, you know, the spring and summer is coming. >> reporter: as oakland celebrates and kicks off small business week, many owners say the biggest challenge is crime.

some experienced repeated burglaries and robberies. >> it has impacted my business. in a sense that customers are afraid to come to oakland so i have had to invest thousands of thousands of dollars in marketing to get customers to come. >> reporter: elected leaders say they hear them and are working to reduce crime. during the small business week, the city will host free classes and networking events. this workshop on sunday focused on digital marketing. >> i'm somebody who is getting started so i'm very new and i'm trying to figure out what social media platforms to leverage. how to just get the content out there. >> i working on growing my business. work on my website and i want to improve my social media presence. >> more of the artist and less the business person but because it's my business, i have to do it all and wear all the hats and i came here to learn more about what goes into those. >> reporter: many here say they chose to service in the city and despite the challenges they still believe in oakland. >> what adds color and vibrancy to the city is actually the

small businesses. and the people behind these businesses. >> alicia agrees and says thriving businesses is a reflection of a thriving city. >> increased safety you know. invest in security. i think that's number one. i think safety is the ultimate concern. because customers are not going to come if their cars are being broken into. >> reporter: business owners continue to urge people outside of oakland to come shop and dine here. some businesses will even reimburse lyft and uber rides with a purchase. >> and as for how other cities are faring when it comes to foot traffic, in san francisco, visits to downtown dropped by more than 21% between march last year and this past february. but san jose saw a jump by about 28% in the same time frame. meantime, a tough week at tesla. more than 2700 bay area tesla employees are set to lose their jobs. the news comes as the company saw its biggest drop in revenue in 12 years. state filings show more than 2200 jobs will be cut in

fremont and nearly 500 in palo alto. ceo elon musk had already announced that tesla would lay off 10% of the global work force or roughly 14,000 workers. they will start on june 14th. tesla's first quarter earnings showed a 55% drop in net income. revenue was also down 9% last year and experts say that's mostly because of growing competition in the ev market and a lower demand for electric vehicles in general. but good news for electric car owners. just got'ier to charge your car in california. max darrow has that story. >> os our electric vehicle association booth. >> reporter: this was jerry's pov showing off the numerous evs on display at cupertino's recent earth day celebration. some teslas. >> hyundai, kona, ev.

>> reporter: and -- >> there's my 2002 rav4 ev. >> reporter: you heard that right, a 2002 ev. so jerry's has some skin in the ev game for longer than most people. >> well, i'm kind of an environmental it in i guess. >> reporter: between more californians switching to evs by the week and car manufacturers releasing more ev options, jerry says the infrastructure needs are changing substantially. >> all these things are kind of increasing the demand for charging so the supply has to rise to match that. and right now, they're actually behind. i think there's -- there's a shortage of chargers. >> reporter: which is why he was thrilled when he heard about a public-private partnership development that will pump up the ev charging infrastructure. >> it's a good thing. and you know, it's about time. >> reporter: tesla is opening it fast chargers to nontesla vehicles. governor newsom pulled up to one in a ford ev to explain more about it. >> this is all in an effort to build out the infrastructure in

the state of california. that currently totals 105,000 electric vehicle chargers for public use and about 10,000 of the supercharging stations. >> reporter: california natural resources secretary wade crowfoot called the move a game changer. >> we exceeded our targets to bring on these nonpolluting vehicles much faster than originally anticipated given this partnership the future is very bright for electric vehicles. >> if you have an electric vehicle and let's say you live in an apartment where they don't have electric vehicle charging a part of the, you know, parking garage or parking lot or whatever, parking facilities they have there, then you do rely on the public charging stations. >> reporter: and of the public chargers out there, jerry tips his hat to tesla's infrastructure. >> the tesla ones, they're in great shape. they're well-maintained. they're very fast. and they have lot of them in many locations. >> reporter: an important step as california surges towards an ev future. >> having more chargers available is a great thing.

>> reporter: california has a plan in place to phase out the sale of new gasoline only vehicles by 2035. the process begins, however, in 2026 with a mandate that 35% of new cars sold must be electric or plug in hybrids. electric or not, it has been four years since any cars were allowed on the jfk promenade at golden gate park. a celebration took place at peacock meadow today. by a long stretch was closed to cars in 2020 and opened up to pedestrians only during the pandemic. and then in 2022, san francisco's voted to keep it that way. >> very important that all of san francisco get to enjoy this beautiful park. that regardless of your ability or your mode of mobility, that you have the opportunity to be here to see our museums and to enjoy our gardens. to commune with nature and connect with each other.

>> the area has accessibility upgrades as well as a free shuttle, public pianos, seating areas, lawn games and live music. in the same area, the tenth annual walk and roll to cure als. the 5k honors the life of san francisco university high school track coach jim tracy. he lost his battle with als in 2014. many of his former athletes were on the course today. he spent two decades at uhs and won more cross-country state championships than any coach in california history. and still ahead here at 6:00, the sight you'd never want to see. a sick seal in a wheelbarrow. and it's the result of people loving them little too much. >> we're bringing in animals every single day. during our peak season, right now, march and april, it could be five, six animals day coming into the hospital.

welcome back. we've been reporting for monthson the avian flu outbreak that's hitting the poultry industry pretty hard. and there's concern now that the virus is spreading from mammal to mammal. in other states it is showing up in cattle although the fda says there's no risk to consumers. but in argentina, the bird flu is now being blamed for a huge die off of elephant seals. more than 18,000 of them were killed late last year and most of them pups. there's no sign of that on the california coast. but there's another alarming threat to our local elephant seal population this pupping season. whenever you see an

elephant seal in a wheelbarrow, something is not right. >> we're bringing in animals every single day. during our peak season, right now, march and april, it could be five or six, animals a day coming into the hospital. >> there's a reasons this peak season here at the marine mammal center. >> right now it's incredibly busy and we have close to 150 patients at the hospital. >> it isn't just that it's pupping season. >> our responders were seeing people get very, very close blaze these were very sick lee largic animals. >> just moved him from -- to g 2. >> reporter: the center says people are loving these animals too much. >> as a result, there was a lot of crowding and selfie taking which was inhibiting sometimes our ability to respond and added additional stress to an animal that was already very, very sick. >> in fact, a new stud city shows that fully 30% of

stranded or sick marine mammals had some form of human or dog disturbance. one seal, hop hop had a boy sitting on top of him to take a selfie and not just humans. >> we're seeing groups of people and off leash dogs surround the animals. >> while people can be the problem, they can also be the solution. >> every animal we get is because someone in the public is actually giving us a phone call. we have a hotline. 415-289-seal that allows you to call the experts if you see an animal thanks sick or hurt. >> that's why the marine mammal center volunteers are here and they cover 600-mile of california shoreline. >> if you see an animal of the beach that needs help. call the experts. that's going to let the experts out there and evaluate if the animal needs help and if it does we can rescue it and give it a second chance at life. >> giving mammals a second chance, that's what it's all

about. elephant seals were hunted to the brink of extinction in the 1800s. but because of federal protection, they have bounced back, estimated 200,000 elephant seals are breeding this season. in five national marine sanctuaries along the pacific coast. and still ahead -- an ancient competition pairing sumo wrestlers with crying babies? but thankfully, it has nothing to do with wrestling. . got a little bit of a warm-up today. did you notice? oh about two degrees, maybe you didn't. how does 80 degrees sound? that's coming and that you will notice it's going to be about ten degrees warmer than it was today. we'll look at that but first the wind. why has it been so persistent lately? the forecast on all that is coming up

you know, usually getting a baby to stop crying is the goal for most parents. but not at the naki sumo crying baby festival in japan. it's a traditional japanese festival that pairs babies with sumo wrestlers who will do anything

like wearing scary masks to get the babies to start and keep crying to get rid of evil spirits. and the best criers are ensured a long and healthy life. time to go over now to first alert meteorologist darren peck with the latest on the forecast. >> it's still windy out there today and two, maybe throe more days like that. i'm going to use the virtual set. first thing we're going to do is look at this day from our exclusive vantage point from here. we've got a camera that sits p the salesforce tower and this morning we had it trained looking south. so the view we're going to look at is taking in the scope of the south bay and with the santa cruz mountains in the background. and some clouds in the foreground. that's the view we're looking at so here we are looking down south kind of out past here and you can see the santa cruz mountains showing up and you can seen' the san mateo bridge there. watch the marine layer this morning. we woke up with little bit of the marine layer coming

on shore. then that melted away and in the afternoon cloud number two started to develop. totally different. look at the santa cruz mountains. cumulus clouds started building out there. so we kind of have this mixed bag today. the cumulus clouds are only able to form and they're not going to be able to do that a whole lot over the next few days. because we still have lingering impacts from this weak weather system that's skirted by over the course of the last 24 hours. when you look at the regular satellite, you don't see it. watch the water vapor and you can really pick it out. the last 24 hours. watch the dive right here. we didn't really notice anything significant yesterday. but sure enough an area of low pressure skirted right over california and pulled in all that dry air. and we felt the wind from it. and there's two more like that coming they're going to be real difficult to pick out on their own. we can visualize this using a different feature here. this shows you where the energy in the atmosphere is and we call it vorticity. red bullseyes and it shows you where weak little storms that's tomorrow. another one is going to skirt by to the north and then on tuesday

another one is going to do it. this is kind of classic spring. the systems are coming in. they're not coming in far enough south and they're not doing anything real significant to us but we're feeling them as they go by. and if you look at what the maximum wednesday speeds were, these were the gusts for today. a pretty level playing field on here. san jose, you had a 26-mile an hour wind gust and look at half-moon bay, so did you. everybody was pretty much in the same boat. city was 23. so these are northerly winds. they're coming in as the systems skirt by and move inland, the winds kind of rushing behind them to catch up. so you get this strong northwesterly wind and you feel it a lot more out here. we had 40, 50-mile an hour gusts out here whether it's no hills to get in the way. but for the rest of us, land lovers, it's a 25-mile an hour wind gust that makes it feel cooler than it needs to. you look at today's daytime highs. around 70 in general. city never got above 64 but the rest of this is 72 and the

tri-valley. so if you take these numbers but put a 20-mile an hour breeze from the north it's going to feel cooler and here's how it changes. not for the next two days and next two days rust somewhere like everything we just looked it. but by thursday and friday it starts to feel different and i want to show you the friday numbers for daytime highs. way less wind and for some locations like inland. look at concord and tri-valley. the numbers up to 80. now almost like ten degrees warmer by the time we get to friday over there. you will notice it in the bay as well and you will be in the mid- to upper 70s and you know, one way to really point this out is to look at san francisco again. because the daytime highs on friday for the city is getting to 70. you will probably still have a little bit of the on shore breeze and that will be more of kind of like the typical. always get the on shore breeze near the golden gate but a 70-degree day will be noticeably warmer even there. in the 7 day forecast and notice we're not talking about any rain here. that's not really the story over the next seven days and it's really more about getting this nice little warm-up and then --

we're going to cool right back down again almost just as fast by the weekend. might be a little cooler in fact. as temperatures dip back down even inland to just barely hitting 70. i don't see rain with this system. but it will be a noticeable cooldown. all right. brian, back to you. all right, thank you. up next, could be a game changer for veterans who lost a limb serving serve wartime. the innovative surgery at

we're in the middle of... livin' large!

and having a big day! in the middle of being the fun uncle! in the middle of being a kid again! beep! beep! there's something for everyone in illinois. the middle of everything! welcome back. an innovative

new surgery at san francisco's va medical center could be a game changer for patients with prosthetic limbs. lauren toms met up with the air force veteran who's the first to try the new technique. >> reporter: three, four, gave, gosh. six, six, seven eight months before i walk. >> reporter: doug mayo is no stranger to learning how the walk again. after losing his legs seven years ago, he's had to readjust to life with a prosthetic but now he will be the first veteran to walk using a bone infused prosthetic limb. >> some people are happy with their prosthesis and fantastic because they are great. sockets if it works for you fantastic. some people like me that -- wasn't quite enough and i wanted to even -- more mobility and more life and that's why i chose this and if that's what you want, go after it. >> reporter: it's that go get her attitude that made him the great candidate for the ground-breaking procedure through the san francisco

veterans affairs hospital and he didn't hesitate when presented with this opportunity. >> i get to be the lucky guinea pig. >> reporter: the doctor performed the surgery and says the tough part is only just beginning. >> and over the next year, there are gradual steps that will allow him to do more and more with his new implant. >> reporter: the goal he says the for the patient to return to a feeling of having a natural limb. >> don your prosthetic leg and it hooks up to a metal fixture that's locked into your bone. when you are moving around there's much less -- bunchingfect or bounce on the leg because it's -- hooked up to your bones. >> reporter: but physical therapist ron is anticipating doug may move faster than expected literally and in his line of work, slowing down is key. >> for me, we really encourage patients to get moving. i do the opposite. he's doing -- more and i'm -- okay, slow down. take it easy. doug. [

laughter ] we want you to really do well. and we don't want to -- have any complications like a fall would be really bad if it -- he gets injured and gets like complication and they have to redo things that they did on the surgery. >> reporter: but for doug, there's one simple achievement he's looking forward to most. >> taking a shower with two legs. that's -- that will be -- that will be unbelievable. i don't plan on sky diving or doing any crazy. it's freedom and being normal again. >> reporter: a freedom to return to his life on two feet. >> gee, that's great. doug runs his own cattle farm in nebraska and is hoping this will allow him to help out on the farm more efficiently. for now, thanks for watching.
