pro-palestinian encampment there, it was cleared out, a stark contrast to what happened at usc. you might remember ucla last week. demonstrators clashed with police refusing to leave. more than 200 people were arrested during that confrontation. police are maintaining a presence on the campus amid concerns that protesters might come back to try to set up another encamp. now, back here in the bay area, the san francisco state university encampment that began monday is growing and folks occupying these tents are looking forward to an event tomorrow. protesters say school president lynn mahoney will join them on campus for what we are told will be an open negotiation . the demands on the university include disclosing and withdrawing all investments with companies doing business with israel and declaring opposition to what they call the genocide in gaza. it will be hosted here at the quad over our encampment. we're going to be discussing our terms of demands and we are hoping that we come to a concrete conclusion and if we don't, then we'll continue the

work that we are doing now. the spokesperson there says the demands are non-negotiable. university confirms it was just a short time ago. president mahoney will be there on campus tomorrow. well, new record for california travel spending has reached an all time high at more than $150 billion. last year, governor newsom made the announcement in a message taped at the top of the golden gate bridge last year. $150 billion of investment tourists around the globe coming to the great state of california, people coming back not only to visit, but coming back to live as well. okay, so the previous record for travel spending was just under $145 billion. that was in 2019. california holds the largest market share of tourism in the entire country, and it has kept its title as the fifth largest economy in the world. president biden is headed back to the bay area. he's going to be here this week, though it's not clear exactly when he'll be touching down. he plans to attend a fundraiser friday in the portola valley home of billionaire

venture capitalist vinod khosla. tickets range from 6600 to $100,000. this will be at least the fourth bay area fundraising trip for mr. biden since taking office. it's unclear whether he'll attend any public events while he's here. coming up, a new lawsuit filed against meta. why? it could give you more control over what you see on social media. plus, spring snow in the sierra, the record just set and how it compares to the rest of the season, and a clear but breezy finish to the week through san francisco 50 there to the low 60s down here in the south bay, with the palm trees swaying in the wind. we have a major warm up ahead as we hi, i'm greg. i live in bloomington, illinois. i'm not an actor.

i'm just a regular person. some people say, "why should i take prevagen? i don't have a problem with my memory." memory loss is, is not something that occurs overnight. i started noticing subtle lapses in memory. i want people to know that prevagen has worked for me. it's helped my memory. it's helped my cognitive qualities. give it a try. i want it to help you just like it has helped me. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

the suit argues that social media users have the right to control what they see and what they don't see on their feeds. lawsuit was filed by the knight first amendment institute at columbia on behalf of an amherst professor who wants to release a tool called unfollow everything 2.0. the browser extension would let users unfollow all the content fed to them by the algorithm, including content from friends, pages and groups. the thinking is that without the endless addictive feed, users would only see what they want and then leave. meta has declined to comment on the suit, and we're following some breaking news in the south bay. san jose police responding to

two scenes. the first is on south king road near emma prusch park. two people were stabbed around 530, paramedics rushing them to the hospital with serious injuries. now this is right near where cinco de mayo celebrations are taking place, but it is unclear if the two things are connected. meantime, we've also learned a san jose police are diverting traffic downtown. all they will say right now is that it is due to illegal activity and safety concerns. we of course have calls out to police and we'll bring you more information as we get it. berkeley city council is set to vote this week on an ordinance that prohibits housing discrimination, discriminated against polyamorous people, polyamory is defined as having multiple intimate relationships at the same time, with the consent of all concerned. oakland passed a similar law last month. one man pushed for the protections after he claims landlords refused to rent to him after he disclosed he had three partners. oakland's law, recognizing polyamorous families is the first of its kind on the west coast. well, one bay area

city has made the list of fastest growing cities in the state with a population of just over 13,000. emeryville is california's second fastest growing city at the start of 2023, there were about 12,700 people living there. that's a 5% growth rate in the past year, and compared to ten years ago, it's an increase of more than 20. emeryville joins a list of central valley and san joaquin valley cities that are also growing at a similar rate. one reason may be that emeryville's housing production rate has outpaced its population growth. city has encouraged affordable home development for years, easily meeting and exceeding state mandated goals. all right. now to the sierra, where we have a new snow total record for the season on the uc berkeley sierra snow lab says yesterday's storm dropped more than 26in. that makes yesterday the snowiest day at the lab this season. researchers say the second snowiest day was march 3rd. we saw just under 24in of snow.

morning. so bundle up as you make your way out the door for school and work. there as we go on into the early week, we're going to still be feeling like spring getting a little bit of that breeze, warmer temperatures, just a little bit. and i'm sorry for those of you that are dealing with those allergies. we just have a little bit more to get through and then we'll transition into summer. so we had winter yesterday, spring, early week and then summer like temperatures as we go on into the later portion of it. here's a look at those temperatures for tomorrow morning at least places like in mendocino county. lake county could come down into those upper 30s and then mostly in those 40s for just about everybody else. our temperatures for tomorrow will be about five degrees warmer than what we had today. 60s in san francisco, 66 in hayward. and as we make our way into our inland valleys, mostly in those upper 60s, as we transition on into tuesday, here's where things are starting to warm up under that ridge of high pressure. more 70s on the map, even creeping into those mid 70s for places like martinez, santa rosa and some comfortable 70s down here in los gatos. at 73, as we take it on

in our vance, our models, we will be drying out and heating up right there as we go on into wednesday and thursday. even friday looks to be some of the warmest days that we've had so far this year with 70s and 80s. so let me show you what it does for places out there in cocoa county. lafayette, good afternoon to you. we're going to go from the 60s to start our workweek, transitioning to the upper 70s. by the time that we get on into wednesday and just building continuing on there into 84 by friday, saturday and sunday, still looks nice to start making those plans for mother's day. hint hint as we go on into next weekend. so overall, our 7-day forecast in san francisco, aside from the breezy and somewhat chilly start there in the 60s, we're going to get more of that warming skies. love to live here in california kind of weather there in the city and our inland valley. 60s to 70s to 80s. so like i mentioned, we just had all of these three seasons in one go. i like it. look at that warm, warm, warm, warm, warm all the way through. i'm glad. all right. thank you cynthia. you're

welcome. up next, gas prices. they are starting to drop. but how long will it last? the prices you can expect

i love the great outdoors... [ nature sounds ] from indoors. it's a vibe. do i enjoy being in nature? mmm. do i like looking at it? fo sho. so if maintaining forests maintains my happy place, yeah i'm gonna be a papertarian. living room? sanctuary. bathroom? sanctuary. other living room? well, that's just extra. in america we have private forests. so when you choose this,

the forest people will replenish that. so those outdoor creatures can [ yells ] stay where they belong! five a gallon. it's not around here, obviously. wouldn't that be nice? the decrease comes after a surge of $0.59 per gallon earlier this year. analysts say the small drop at the pump may hold for a bit. oil prices show little change short term. two main factors are lower crude oil prices and weaker u.s. gas demand due to high inflation and higher prices. we're still paying much more than that here

in california. you know that, statewide averages 535 now in the bay area. look at these prices, san francisco, 557 oakland. 547 san jose. 542 it is not difficult to beat those prices, and it's easy to find them under five as well. yeah, yeah. all right. well, apple is set to unveil some new products this week. the tech giant is expected to launch new ipads tuesday. the event with the tagline let loose, let loose. we'll be live streamed on apple's website. usually, the event is prerecorded. tech watchers say they expect apple to unveil new ipads and ipad accessories after no new models were announced last year. countdown to blastoff! after years of delays, tomorrow, boeing is finally set to launch astronauts to the international space station for nasa. boeing plans to launch its starliner rocket from cape canaveral. this is video from a previous launch back in 2019, but the unmanned capsule never made it into orbit because of software problems. boeing tried again in 2022. this
