2:07 am
the biggest rock bands in the world, and their tour is doing things bigger than ever before. metallica's homecoming to the bay area. plus. >>we try not to react because we don't want to encourage it. but there's times we have to leave the room to laugh. >>this animal's potty mouth has made its adoption a bit more complicated. >>hi, i'm sara donchey. 58 mile per hour winds at sfo. that is how you know it is windy. for the second day in a row. the wind has been roaring out there. and as we head into the unofficial the actual official first weekend of summer. the wind isn't done with us yet, and it's already made things kind of problematic for firefighters. they had their hands full near cotati today. this fire burned about two acres. it got close to houses, but no reports of any damage to homes or any injuries, thankfully. and in san jose, there was this fire along
2:08 am
coyote creek. it was very close to the costco on center road. firefighters had worked hard to keep it from jumping the road to a neighborhood, and that one is also under control now. you could hear and see the wind today, the flags outside the federal courthouse in san francisco were flapping this afternoon. pg and e is still cutting power in parts of the east bay. as part of this wind event over fire concerns. and here is a look at the outage map. the purple areas over in contra costa and alameda counties are part of pg and e's planned shutoffs to prevent fires. it was windy. you could hear it. you could feel it. so darren's here to tell us when we are going to be done with this. since we're now heading into the >>weekend. it's going to be a lot better on sunday and it will be mostly better tomorrow. things are going to start improving for us on saturday. first of all, that wind that sarah just talked about at the airport, look where the airport sits. i'll get out of the way. sfo sits at the end of a wind funnel. it's the san bruno gap. in fact,
2:09 am
they put the airport there because the planes like to be able to fly directly upwind into the strong winds that are rushing through the gap, 53 mile an hour wind gusts there. you want to see where the real concern was though. we've got to go to the other side of the bay, and when we take a look at that, you're going to see where altamont pass is another gap. anybody who's ever driven 580 through there, where it narrows, that also funnels the wind. the problem with the wind getting funneled out here from today is that's where the red flag warning is, just on the other side of that. and you can see how that covers most of the central valley. we can visualize this another way. where's the greatest fire risk from a weather standpoint, meaning wind, low humidity and a landscape that was already dried out from two months of well above average temperatures? that's where the concern remains. from a fire weather standpoint, primarily as long as we're still doing the wind. speaking of which, let me just give you a little bit of good news on the wind. come in for a close up. look at the high resolution forecast. the winds are not going to turn off completely tomorrow, but
2:10 am
it's going to be a lot better. watch it die down in the morning. that's nothing new. it did that today. woke up this morning at 11 a.m.. it didn't really seem all that windy. and then in the afternoon it turned on. look what it's going to do tomorrow. turns on about half sunday's. even better. i'll show you what that looks like. we'll get into the seven day forecast as well in just a few minutes for now. sarah, back to you. >>all right darren, thank you so much. as the debate over immigration enforcement really rages on, vice president j.d. vance was down in la today saying that he thinks the military should be deployed there to keep the peace. he was not shy about criticizing local leaders on their approach to ice and policing. amid major protests. >>if you enforce your own laws and if you protect federal law enforcement, we're not going to send in the national guard because it's unnecessary. but if you let violent rioters burn great american cities to the ground, then of course we're going to send federal law enforcement in to protect the people. the president was elected to protect. >>the vice president also
2:11 am
brought up california senator alex padilla a week after he was tossed from a homeland security press conference after he interrupted. it is how vice president vance mentioned mr. padilla that has some california lawmakers upset tonight. >>well, i was hoping jose padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately, i guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't the theater. and that's all it is. >>okay, that is obviously not the senator's first name. senator alex padilla's office told cbs news. the remark was, quote, an unserious comment from an unserious administration. governor newsom responded on x, saying the mixup was not an accident. a spokesperson told cbs news, quote, he must have mixed up two people who have broken the law. the la mayor held her own press conference later, responding to some of the vice president's attacks. >>unfortunately, the vice president did not take time to learn about our city and understand that our city is a city of immigrants from every
2:12 am
country and continent on the planet. but then again, he did need to justify the hundreds of >>in the city. now, the next part of this story has been hard to keep up with. an appeals court yesterday said the president can maintain control of the national guard troops deployed in la. but today, the matter was back in front of a federal judge in san francisco. u.s. judge charles breyer was asked to narrow his original ruling that did temporarily block the guard's deployment in la. now, since the appeals court sided with the trump administration and kicked the issue back to judge breyer. law professor rory little says the judge is going to have to find a legal middle ground. >judge breyer may have to make a ruling on how far can the national troops go, how how far into civilian life can they
2:13 am
go? how long can they stay there? can they stay there even when there seems to be no pressing need for them? >sara>so for now, national guard troops will stay under the control of president trump. governor newsom says he will keep fighting this legal battle, which could potentially reach the u.s. supreme court. the los angeles dodgers have found themselves looped into the immigration debate. the team says it denied ice agents entry to their parking lot this week. now, the trump administration pushed back against that, calling the dodgers claim false. now, the team says it's making a big donation to immigrant families. the organization announced today it would give $1 million in direct financial assistance to families impacted by immigration operations. some fans have called for a boycott of the dodgers, saying it took the team too long to show support for immigrants. >how do they know it's getting in the right hands to the people that really need it? and how are they identifying the people that really need it? you know,
2:14 am
what's that criteria for that. part of me feels like it. it may be a little performative just off of what people were saying about it, but i mean, support is support. so it means a lot to the families impacted as a latina. >sara>now, some fans told cbs la they were grateful the dodgers did decided to speak up and help, so reaction has been mixed. the mayor also thanked the team on social media. today is world refugee day. the un designated it as a day to consider those forcibly displaced by war, violence or persecution. the un refugee agency says the number of refugees worldwide passed 122 million in april, increasing for the 10th year in a row. in san jose, city leaders mark refugee day with a call to protect immigrants and undocumented people. they met with people at la trinidad church to reinforce their commitment to protecting people being arrested and deported are. carra saint-cyr spoke with community members looking to make a difference.
2:15 am
>when aurora solis sees videos of ice raids on undocumented immigrants being detained, she sees herself. >my dad was. he came here illegally way when? when we were little and he used to work in the cotton fields in texas. and so i, i just relate to my dad. >aurora, and other members of pact or people acting in community together, attended a meeting at la trinidad church to ask san jose officials to help undocumented immigrants receive due process. >we don't see people being kidnaped the way we've seen them. >the vera institute of justice found that of the more than 11,000 people who've received deportation orders in santa clara county, about 46% don't have representation. >be kind to our people who are unhoused. >damon silver, a public defender for the county, says funding can help. >we've had so much impact as
2:16 am
a result of the federal administration's work that it's just triggered a huge spike in need. >both the city of san jose and santa clara county have pledged millions of dollars to help undocumented immigrants. now, the goal is to find the best way to allocate the funds, something reverend steve pinkston wants to see happen now. >i don't want them locked up and thrown away and not having any contact with their family members or friends. i want them to at least have legal representation, as is guaranteed in our constitution. >the meeting ended with city officials promising to support the undocumented community. while it's unclear how much will be allocated for removal defense, the meeting did leave aurora with one thing. >there's hope. i just hope for the day that we can be able to breathe and to welcome our migrant immigrant communities.
2:17 am
>sara>all right. coming up, draymond green might be known for throwing hands on the court, but maybe it's time to reconsider his rep as an instigator given his credibility in the culinary world. lost his life. how the nba star is involved in one of san francisco's hottest new restaurants that's getting rave reviews for bringing cultures together through cuisine. plus, one legendary band returns home just how long it takes to get ready for a metallica show, and the dedication from fans to get into the stadium and getting animals adopted is an important mission. and sometimes it's tough, especially when the pet in question is likely to cuss you out. >tonight, it's the late show with stephen colbert. who's with me? c
2:18 am
>sara>okay. it was the calm before the storm. metallica returned home to the bay area tonight. the legendary heavy metal band played the first of its two shows at levi's stadium. it's the first time the band has been back in the bay area since all the way back in 2022. metallica is well known for having one of the largest production tours in the world. it's taken 350 crew members eight days to put together this weekend's shows at levi's. and fans were about as dedicated as that. they waited in line outside the stadium. some of them lined up at 4:00 this morning to get exclusive merch and to get a good spot below the stage known as the snake pit. we talked
2:19 am
with some of the fans who have come from all over the place to see the rock legends perform. >i flew in from massachusetts. a group of us flew in. this would be the fifth show that we've seen this year. from lake tahoe. oh, okay. so you know me, me and my buddy here, we came from quite a ways to go ahead and see metallica here. >sara>anthony also told us that he is excited every time he sees a metallica show. the band returns on sunday. the cheapest tickets on stubhub are in section 412, going for 70 bucks each. which given concert prices lately is really not that bad. i'm very surprised. >first alert weather powered by kia. learn more at wkyc.com. kia movement that inspires. >sara>all right. i think in the grand scheme of things, this tends to be a really busy weekend for people. for families. first weekend of summer. lots of people trying to do things outdoors. the wind has not cooperated. is it going
2:20 am
to improve? >paul>it is going to improve >sara>greatly. we need a big improvement. >paul>going to improve greatly by sunday. >sara>okay. >>tomorrow we're going to cut it in half. so it is going to be better. but what happened over the past couple of days just i think deserves a brief moment. you look at the big view on the virtual set. i'm standing a couple hundred miles here off the coast. there we are. the clear spot on the map in the foreground. but i wanted you to see what the pacific looks like right now, because it is not supposed to look like this in june. this is what it looks like in the winter scenario. low pressure that just slid right out of the gulf of alaska and is sitting off the coast of the pacific northwest. you can see it's a bit stormy up there for the mountains. we're not getting rain out of this. but what this did was it upset the balance in the atmosphere so much. and this is where the wind came from. it might not look like much there. let me show it to you another way. what we're going to look at is the atmosphere in a little more detail, because the clouds really look obvious, but the water vapor tells the story a little better. you see where we
2:21 am
are on here? look at this. counterclockwise spinning low that came down out of the gulf of alaska. everything spins counterclockwise. so as the wind comes around and rounds the base of this, we are caught in the middle of this thing. we are feeling the wind that is wrapping around this to race back into the center of that low. that's why it got so windy here over the past two days. now this is moving. watch it. it's very slow. it's taking its time, but it is going that way. tomorrow it's going to be like there. so it's still a little too close. sunday it will be gone, but it's still too close tomorrow. you still have to deal with a little wind. we looked at the wind speeds on that in the last visit. i gave you an idea today. it was like a 25 to 35 mile an hour gust for most of us. it will be more like a 20 mile an hour wind tomorrow. so not gone, but better. much better than it was. meantime, watch what happens when we bring our perspective back down and let's come back home. we'll keep the same satellite imagery on here. look at the coast down here for the peninsula. i love how this transitions to nighttime. you see the lights of the bay area
2:22 am
showing up there. but what we use this for is to track the marine layer. and as we switch tonight, you can see it just a little wisp of it there, just kind of showing up down along the san mateo county coastline. that is where it will stay. this is not building back in tonight. you're going to wake up tomorrow on saturday with less wind and a lot more sunshine in the morning. there's no june gloom on this saturday morning, so with plenty of sunshine and less wind. let me show you what it's going to feel like. temperatures are going to be almost identical to where they were today, but it will not feel the same because with less wind you got less wind chill. so the numbers on the thermometer are actually the way it's going to feel. it felt cold out there at times today because you had a 30 mile an hour wind on top of these numbers, and that's how you factor in the wind chill. tomorrow, 74, in redwood city probably feel like 73. and this is where we'll stay. the thing about tomorrow is, once we get there, we're going to lock this in. let me show you what that looks like in the seven day
2:23 am
forecast, because those numbers aren't really going to change a whole lot from where we're going to leave them right here. let's start out by taking a look at our inland microclimate, a lot of low 80s. remember what it was like for the first two weeks of the month? we're thinking much about the weather. temperatures stayed right around 80 for daytime highs. and that's what we're going to do for at least the next seven days. we're kind of going back to that, and i'll just show you what it looks like here for the bay. question is, when's the marine layer coming back? and that's always tricky if you try to look out past like 36 hours, that can be a very tough call. certainly we'll probably see some return of it going into early next week. it is the time of year for it. it will be back, but it won't be here tomorrow. all right, andrea, over to >vern>you. all right. thank you. darren. fresh off a blockbuster trade, rafael devers and his old team reunite. it's the first time since he signed with the red sox as a 16 year old. rafi suits up to face his old team. how that reunion turned out tonight. that's coming up next.
2:24 am
2:25 am
game like the hype around it was very real. >vern>it >>was. the tickets were expensive. i mean red sox coming into >vern>town is always a big ticket item. but when you add this recent trade to it, it's a whole new level. with the messy breakup happening just five days ago, it might be too soon for a reunion, but the boston red sox rolled into oracle park for a three game set. rafael devers got a standing ovation before his first at bat against his old team, san francisco, up two nothing in the second inning. and here is mike yastrzemski. he gets a comebacker and that's knocked down. but the pitcher can't field it cleanly. so casey schmidt scores to make it three. nothing. back to devers his second at bat in the third inning. just misses his first home run with the orange and black. let's just say he got oracle there. devers was zero for five in the game now five five in the six. red sox say don rafael crushes a solo shot off shawn boston goes up 6 to 5. rafael finishes a triple shy of the cycle and the giants
2:26 am
down two in the eighth. yaz up with the bases loaded, but he strikes out to end the inning. boston wins 7 to 5. san francisco has lost now six of their last eight in the wnba, the valkyries held fever star caitlin clark to just 11 points and zero for seven from threes on thursday night's win. that's really hard to do. maybe no fan in valhalla was more excited than the warriors. brandon podziemski. clark was called for a travel in the fourth quarter and pod sitting courtside let her know about it. the dubs guard has already been to many of the home games, and after the win over indiana, he showed our matt lively just how big of a fan he is. >i mean, i have everybody's jersey and so i plan to come to at least as many home games as there are players. you can't miss him. so, you know, just to see him hyped up, kind of, you know, for me, gives me a little more energy the way he is, the way he interacts and stuff like that. it just shows that they have love for us and that's that
2:27 am
comes big from where they come from. so shout out to them, shout out to all them that come out and support because we really do need >vern>it. it is great to have that support. on saturday, coastal carolina faces lsu in game one of the college world series finals. the tigers are eyeing the program's eighth national championship, but coastal didn't find that history all that impressive. listen >your thoughts on lsu. what do you admire? just as student athletes and fans of baseball, what do you like about the tigers? not a whole lot. >vern>it took him a while to >sara>answer. anyone home? >vern>no. but, you know, i mean, the coastal carolina has won 26 games in a row. they really belong there. it's not like just because lsu is an sec team that they should look up to them or anything. >sara>were there keg stands happening before the media availability? >vern>i don't think >sara>so. okay. >vern>i just you know.
2:28 am
>sara>that was a lot of. >vern>lsu is lsu. what can you say about him? >sara>yeah i mean i went to sf state. i'm not involved in any >vern>of the drama. >sara>all right andrea, thank you so much. the bay. >we are a culture that blends. >could change the world just >by >>being >>here. always early on, the trends. >downtown. always >have >>the new and inventive. >this is the bay area beat. >sara>we have no shortage of great dining options here, with some trying to showcase the diversity the bay area offers as well. one of those restaurants has a golden state seal of approval, with draymond green on board as co-founder lauren ayoub takes us inside mesquite and how its menu is melting flavors and cultures into one. >a mix of global flavors, one spice at a time. it's the afro fusion vision of mesquite, a new restaurant in san francisco led by dominican executive chef nelson german. >whether it's to make a republic, cuba, puerto rico,
2:29 am
west africa, any countries there in nigeria and ethiopia, we're all intertwined. it still showcases black food, black history, black culture. so to bring that here in san francisco and to meld these flavors that are still so new, but still familiar means the world to me. >whether it's the famous million dollar bacon or sweet caribbean delights, chef nelson says combining his heritage with co-founder guma. ethiopian heritage has created a whole new palette of flavors. >i see the dishes. i'm like, this is where my grandma did it. but then this is the way goomer's mom did it too. like it's so familiar. it's pretty awesome. >meskis co-founder guma fazili is no stranger to the restaurant business, but seeing meskhi become a bridge for cultural diversity in the bay. he says that's a dream come true. >it's been a full circle moment. you know, growing up in berkeley as a first generation ethiopian american and, finally
2:30 am
being able to put my culture, ethiopian culture on this platform, it's really an honor and privilege to to be able to to share our cultures and package it in a certain elevated way that's never been to the masses. so i don't take that lightly. >and neither does nba champ draymond green. the warrior is a proud co-founder of the restaurant. >what made you say yes to making meskhi a reality here in san francisco? oh, number one, i love the city of san francisco. i think it's oftentimes in a restaurant you may find a vibe, you may find good food, but it's usually hard to bring the two together. and so that's kind of what we wanted to bring together just to bring some life to this city. i think, you know, the rebounding of this city has been great under mayor lurie. and, you know, just want to try to continue to do things to help support and bring that life back to the city like it's been. >the rhythm is certainly returning. sunday brunches at meskhi have been packed out thus far. chef
2:31 am
nelson says the lower ... hill neighborhood is revitalizing, and the language of food is bringing communities together. >with food. if somebody has a type of food of a different culture and they really fall in love with it, they're more open minded to want to learn about the people. and so we appreciate them and appreciate the culture. why i do it as a chef is to make people happy, right? and to tell stories to to keep generations of recipes flowing through throughout the years. and really like showcasing history at its best. >and as for meskhi, the restaurant is opening doors for the african diaspora. >sara>sometimes when you adopt a new pet, you've got to teach it. rules or tricks, train it. but one bird that's looking for a home comes with an interesting set of tricks.
2:33 am
>sara>there is a blue and gold macaw in massachusetts who is looking for a home right now. but he is not your normal bird, hendricks, as he's known, comes with a particular set of skills. the 30 year old bird was surrendered to the shelter by his owner a couple of months ago. the previous owner had him for two decades, two decades, and then said, i guess, never mind. in that time, hendricks picked up a number of words and terms with the shelter, comparing him to samuel l jackson. shelter employees say his vocabulary includes the f-bomb, other curse words, and even slurs, so they had to put in his adoption notice that he needs parental advisory in his new home. >we try not to react because we don't want to encourage it. but there's times we have to leave the room to laugh. >sara>30 years old, he should know better. now imagine the owner. the owner was probably
2:34 am
quite the character. the shelter says. despite all of his issues, which include malnutrition that apparently is being addressed, hendricks has attracted over 50 adoption applications. they say he does have room for niceties as well, saying if you call him pretty bird, he'll say, thank you and good morning, baby. but that's where the niceness ends. yeah. >vern>i wonder about the >paul>new, >>the old >sara>owners. the old owner had probably had a rap sheet and all kinds >paul>of >>personal grievances. we don't really know. thank you for watching. we hope you have a wonderful weekend. the late show with stephen colbert is coming up next. we will see you right back here on
