saw this the 7 day and the weekend looks pretty warm. but i'm thinkin further out. will there be any april showers not in the next 7 days but towards the end of april. >> we finally could get some rain returning to our bay area forecast. i don't want to tie the record set back in april. 1949 where we saw no rain in the bay area. so i'm keeping my fingers crossed because right now the only thing we really been tracking is drizzle. thanks the ball. carla right now off along the coast and it's thanks to her that we're actually going to stay pretty seasonable. even for friday as our inland areas start to warm up starting friday afternoon server downtown san francisco, very seasonable temperatures in the low 60's mid 50's. for those of you at half moon, bay and pacific up daly city in the low 50's. so we're still going to get that cool sea breeze influence keeping our temperatures along the coast. very seasonable. so near average highs. but we're going to start to notice some

friday afternoon in or warmest inland spots in santa rosa and nevado in the mid 70's. but then we're all going to warm up on saturday. so tonight will really be the last night that will really see paul carla, because by this weekend thanks to that warm up, we're going to see less and less of the marine layer as temperatures peak anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees above average by sunday, little change on monday. but the good thing just seen models are hinting at some showers later this month. so i don't want to tie a record set back in 1949 of not seeing any april showers in the bay area that looks to be the case. so we hope to break and not even tie that record. back to you. thanks so much to risa. >> a group of house and senate democrats have now introduced a bill which would expand the number of seats on the supreme court. but not everyone is on board with this plan and our washington correspondent basil john joining us now with the latest, especially with how lawmakers, including how democrats are reacting to this

plan. good afternoon. basal. >> good afternoon. and some democrats say it is time to bring more justices to the supreme court. but republicans and even other democrats are not so sure. i have no plans to bring it to the house speaker nancy pelosi says she's not ready to back new court expansion legislation. i support the president's commission to study. >> such a proposal. president biden has created a bipartisan commission to study expanding the high court to judiciary act of 2021 would increase the size of the u.s. supreme court from 9 to 13 justices. new york congressman jerry nadler says as the country grows so too, should the supreme court. our founders understood. >> as the country in the judicial system involved. the court needs to evolve with it. >> massachusetts senator ed markey says republicans have done damage to the judicial branch making americans lose faith in the high court.

>> and make no mistake about it, the court is broken because leader mitch mcconnell, his senate republican colleagues and donald trump broke it. but republicans like south carolina senator lindsey graham say this is a terrible idea you make the supreme court basically a political football. >> it loses his independence, his consistency and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell says it is an attempt to threaten current supreme court justices and responsible people across the political spectrum. have an absolute duty. good enough says. >> now during his campaign, president biden said he was not a fan of expanding the courts. but he is allowing this commission to look into the idea reporting live in washington. i'm basil john. >> so baseball, though, is there any likelihood of the bill passing and getting to the desk of president biden. >> well, besides the obvious

route of reaching a majority within the senate. the only other option that is available is to do away with the filibuster. now, the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. and that's because of many moderate democrats in more specifically west virginia senator joe manchin being outspoken saying they will not get rid of the filibuster because that helps keep balance within congress. so even make it the house and senate floor. has an uphill battle. >> thank you so much for this live report. and coming up next tickets for disneyland went on sale today. >> but it was not easy to score one and let you know how you can get your ticket to the magic kingdom, especially if you're trying to redeem a reservation that was canceled last year.
