emergency. part of a water rescue exercise. authorities fear a spike in rescue this year as people head outdoors after that long, rainy season we had. the surf at ocean beach is extremely hazardous and officials urge people not to swim there because of the dangerous rip currents which can just sweep people out to sea. >> waves will not break in that area. it has this false sense of security and it looks inviting. however, that water is moving out to sea. that is the number one hazard at ocean beach. that is the number one reason we make rescues. >> don't want to get in that position. if you want to go swimming, authorities ask that you go to stinson beach instead. warriors going to try to finish off the houston rockets tonight. they are leading 3-2 in their playoff series. if they're going to do it, they're going to have to do it without their superstar kevin durant. the shoot around at the toyota center. steph dunking his ankle must feel better.

as we mentioned, a rocky first day for uber on the stock market. shares slid into negative ort i especially for a high-profile tech ipo. kieric joining us now to talk about what happened today. so, what is it that investors did not really like about uber or the external factors with china and the tariffs and all that really dragging the price down? >> the external factors had something to do with it, but i

think investors really looked at uber's s1 sheet it filed where it said it's not profitable now and it may never be profitable. >> yeah. people want profit? who knew. well, let's just dive into that then. because we had a bunch of tech ipos. lyft experienced the same thing and they priced themselves and the ipo much higher and it plummeted. so, is this investors looking at these unprofitable tech companies and going, not any more. we're fought going to do that any more. >> it's possible. lyft did well its first day and also tanked. lyft said it wasn't profitable and could have been. looking at lyft's trajectory, the smaller guinea pig and see uber may fall into the same trappings. the companies have marketed themselves as different companies. the amazon of transportation. so, you know, things can change.

>> all right. how much is driver unrest a problem for both of these companies? i mean, we're here today to mostly talk about uber. the same situation applies for th ug right. these companies' business is based on drivers. so, if the drivers aren't happy and the drivers leave, they won't have a business, right? until we have self-driving cars. >> isn't that what the whole thing is based on in the long run. approval on driverless vehicles becomes a thing across the country. but wouldn't it be uber's goal down the road to have no drivers and have the cars drive themselves. no cost for drivers. >> they take that ingredient out of the equation and it will be cheaper for uber. i mean, they'll have to pay for all the technology to build the cars. >> sure, sure. so, what do you see as kind of the short-term view and the longerterm view? >> well, i think, you know, from people i have spoken to, they

still seem very excited about uber and its potential. it's definitely changed how the world works. but, it does seem to need to find a way to make its business work. >> can that happen because they want to do uber eats and want to dwarf into a delivery service and other things planned down the road. are we going to look at $45 a share and say, you bought uber at $45 a share. like a lot of people facebook when they came out and dropped down and now people would have liked to have the initial public offering price for facebook. >> it's possible. it's possible. you know, or uber could be another pets.com. >> what happened to pets.com. >> it burned out in the blaze of glory. and during the, you know, the dotcom years, yeah. >> sounds like some of my investments. anyway, thanks so much for coming in.

i'm sure this is a topic we will be revisiting because uber and lyft are not going away. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. questions are being raised about a new dating service facebook plans to roll out by the end of the year. the service is called secret crush. here's how it works. it allows you to identify up to nine people on your friends list you might be interested in romantically. someone on that list has picked you, the match is revealed. on the heels of privacy concerns, this new feature is raising a lot of questions. >> so concerning that you're kind of letting facebook know who you have a crush on if that information is leaked on the future and if they have another data breach or something happens to it, it could be concerning. >> facebook says it takes those concerns seriously saying it upgraded its security procedure since that massive data breach happened. >> what could go wrong? >> nothing. >> sounds like a fantastic idea. spencer is back. mother's day weather. >> yes, yes.

things are looking very nice for mother's day. we had this pattern all week long of low clouds and fog lingering and saving our sunnierays f th so, here's a l ma sunny skies although right now after the morning fog cleared away, it's begun to make a little bit of a comeback along the coast and you can see haze in the air here looking over san francisco from the low clouds trying to make their return, their daily return out over the bay. 59 degrees in san fransc t w. upn view and santa cruz 70 and 57 at half moon bay. here is the view from emeryville. low clouds hovering along the coastline and push back over the bay right now. 67 degrees in santa rosa and 84 at vaccaville. warming up nicely in some inland spots today. 80 at concord and the view looking down into the bay, a few

puffs of low clouds beginning to work their way through the golden gate. more low clouds and fog tonight. maybe even some spotty drizzle. perhaps not so wide spread as the previous nights this week. sunny and milder for mother's day and a cooler pattern will develop around the middle of next week. forecast starting at 7:00 tomorrow morning. notice at that point we'll still have linger low clouds over the bay and burn back to the coastline and away from the coast in some spots by midafternoon, midday into the afternoon. so, call it a mainly sunny day tomorrow except at the coast and then overnight into sunday morning, we'll see the return of the low clouds and fog. similar pattern that we had all week long. that will burn back to the coastline and, again, away from the coast on mother's day. looks like mother's day may be the sunniest day in the next few days of our forecast period. so, overnight maybe some spotty drizzle near the coastline and overnight lows in the low to mid-50s.

tomorrow's high mid-60s in coastal locations and low to mid-70s around the bay and upper 70 to 80 in the inland spots and day planner for mother's day shows after lingering low clouds up here by noon, we've got mainly sunny skies and couple low clouds near the coast and bright, sunny skies through the remainder of the day. a lovely mother's day. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. weekend days are almost identical, except perhaps a degree or two cooler at the coast. then monday and tuesday, still bright, mainly sunny. slightly cooler than the weekend. we get increasing clouds midweek next week and our next chance of shower it appears at the moment next thursday. but the weekend is looking terrific. >> thank you, spencer. all right, celebrating decades of "wheel of fortune." the big celebration of the show's 7,000th episode. how much would you pay for a cup of coffee? how about san francisco. the most expensive c

it says the intern must be an ambitious scrappy trail blazer ready to serve as brand ambassador and create fire viral content for social media. candidates have to be at least 21 years old and can apply on natty lights website before may 14th. $40 an hour is better than so many jobs. my goodness. all right. so, if beer or wine, maybe they aren't your thing. how about a cup of >>ou . wil to pay one no cup?i wthat. pric bay ar sing 's a latt n is mi 7 at 5:00. 5:00, merging vi reality with andresiin l
