they cooperated, handed over their stuff and the husband was shot anyway. i'll tell you what hayward police are saying about it coming up in a live report. plus a chemical known to cause cancer in lab mice found in the ground water of one bay area city. why the water district is saying not to worry. and we're live from the gorgeous yosemite valley. good morning. i'm going to explain how the heat up in temps is threatening some of this natural beauty, even closing campsites already. what this means for visitors and you at home in the bay area coming up. back her in the bay area, taking a live look at the bay bridge, another warm one on this wednesday, june 15th. this is "today in the bay." wednesday morning, good morning. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon.

let's check in with christina. what's in store today. >> we're going to help you get through the middle of the week. we want to get you over that hump. today, the warmest day of the week, more 90 degree readings. possibly up to 95 degrees just like yesterday. just how warm it was in your city and what all this warm weather means for the melt of the sierra snow pack. of course marla is following that for you. we have team coverage covering everything happening across the state of california due to the warm-up. all morning long we'll be giving updates. now let's update you on traffic flow. >> i just drove past wind farms. that was crazy seeing windmills up close. speed issues have cleared up. i've been watching this the last half hour. saw slow driving through livermore, probably just equipment moving out of the area. construction clearing from 680 at stone bridge, north, diablo, sounds like a deer might have

been hit on the north side of 680. i'll let you know if that will affect traffic. >> welcome back, mike. 5:01. following an overnight attack where a gunman targeted an east bay couple walking home from a b.a.r.t. station. now this morning the search is on for the person who pulled the trigger. "today in the bay's" kristi smith joins us with this story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. what's scary is the couple did everything you would consider the right thing to do. they handed over the purse, the wallet. an armed man shot the husband anyway. this happened as they were walking down tennyson road near dixon road near the south hayward b.a.r.t. station after coming back from san francisco around 11:15 last night walking home. here is what hayward police are telling us. two approached the husband and wife. one pulled a handgun and demanded the couple's purse and wallet. again, neither of them resisted.

right after the man handed over the wallet, one of the men shot him several times. the wife was not hurt. he was taken to the medical center and we're told he's in stable condition this morning. the race of the suspects unknown at this hour but they are believed to be in their late teens, early 20s, 5'7" or 5'9" white t-shirts and dark papts. they apparently put cloth over their face to cover it. hayward police working to flesh out descriptions. of course they are asking anyone who might have had information or seen anything last night to give them a call. >> 5:03. we're getting reaction from redwood city's elementary school superintendent over disturbing attempted rape case. five boys charged with trying to rape two 12-year-old girls during a school trip on the peninsula. superintendent jan christensen issued a statement this morning.

nothing matters more to us than the safety of our students and we're thankful the police acted quickly after the students reported this incident to their counselor. she says the news is distressing and they will examine safety procedures to figure out if they need to make changes. the alleged attack happened in march when 20 students from kennedy middle school went on a social studies field trip in redwood city. prosecutors say at some point during the trip the boys, ages 12 to 14, took two girls to a secluded area and assaulted them for five to eight minutes. the girls didn't say anything until last week and those boys are in custody. san jose police announcing they have arrested a south bay teacher on charges she molested a young student. police say they arrested 28-year-old colette phelps last month and she is on bail. she worked at the stratford school, a private group with 13 campuses in silicon valley. police won't say how old her victim was. they say they arrested phelps

after receiving a tip. traces of cancer causing chemicals in san jose's shallow ground water but the santa clara valley water district maintains the chemical is not in the drinking water supply. the chemical is known to cause cancer in lab mice p the carcinogen found in ground water during an irrigation project in south san jose. the amount did not reach danger levels, according to the water district. neighbors say they appreciate the water district telling people about the chemical. >> i don't think something like that we need to worry until that count goes a lot higher and it goes a lot deeper into our water supply. again, the water district says recycled water was used in the project, not drinking water. despite the low danger threat, it will look at ways to remove from the water. signing the measure to transfer treasure island into housing and commercial

destination. board of supervisors approved the plan after years of legal battles. 8,000 homes, 140,000 retail space, high-rises as tall as 150 feet will be built on the island. ground breaking could begin next year and construction will take 20 years to remake the former naval base. today democrats are set to vote on california's budget just hours before the constitutional deadline. excuse me. lawmakers won't get paid if they miss that deadline because of an initiative voters passed. democrats have been unable so far to win four republican votes needed to pass the budget so they introduced an alternative plan yesterday. it will close the state's $9.6 billion deficit and could be approved on a majority vote without republican support. the plan avoids the governor's tax extensions and increases and instead delays some payments to schools, raises fees and makes more spending cuts. as the temperatures go up here

in northern california, there's growing concern about a quick melt of snow pack in the sierra. live in yosemite this morning where they are already seeing the first signs of flooding. i know the waterfalls must be spectacular. >> reporter: just simply gorgeous. good morning, laura and everybody at home. unfortunately it's fairly dark so you can't see what's serving as our backdrop. i can assure you the tallest waterfall in north america, fifth tallest in the world is our backdrop. we're at the base of yosemite falls, just a sight to behold. once the sun comes up, we'll get you a beautiful shot of that. as laura mentioned, the issue here is the massive meltdown. snow pack, 200% of normal. now temperatures are rising, it is heating up. that snow melting quickly. the falls here, they rush right into the river. i know you're looking at video right now we shot yesterday of

the river just rushing through yosemite valley. that has caused flooding in the valley. some campsites already closed. if we could bring you back live here, the meadow behind us, this is cook's meadow. there's a mile loop around it. i can assure you, this whole thing is completely soaked in water this morning. to explain what's going on here, the current conditions i'm going to bring in park ranger carrie cobb. she's been a park ranger for seven years now. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> the concern for campers, what's the worry. >> spring runoff is something we experience every year. right now we're at high water. this is peak flow last night and today. what that means for visitors, they may experience water on some of the trails, both front country and back country. we've also taken precautions and closed 40 campsites in north pines as well, 20 cabins and

housekeeping camp. visitors shouldn't worry they will be swept away. we've closed trails that pose a danger to visitors here. this is the peak. the water should start receding over the next several days. this weekend should be absolutely amazing still with booming waterfalls but a little less water on the trails. >> it's expected to be, i think, in the mid-80s. today as you mentioned is the peak time. so we can see even the water rise some more today. >> the water will actually rise this afternoon, with 200% of normal stone pack and a very cool spring. we're just getting that warm weather bringing all the water from the high country down into yosemite valley. it's absolutely beautiful and amazing. >> okay. it's happening here. also happening in lake tahoe, too, heating up there and melting the snow pack there. >> i'm sure tahoe is gorgeous as well. >> i'm happy to be where i am right now. thank you for your time and we're going to talk to you throughout the morning. so stick around. and you stick around, too, because you've got to check out

yosemite falls. laura, it is just spectacular. christina, i don't know if you've made your way to yosemite valley. if you haven't, you've got to come out, make the drive, it's worth it. >> you know, i can wait for 20 minutes when the sun is up and i'll see it. you're right i do need to get out there this morning. as marla mentioned, today is the peak for the snow melt. today is going to be the hottest day of the year so far only beating yesterday. we hit the mid-90s. it was really warm. i'm sure you noticed the difference between yesterday and monday. now, as we head throughout your wednesday, we're going to tack on a couple degrees, inland, east bay, north bay, maybe not quite as warm or just about as warm in the south bay. we'll talk about why. the good news is, peak hit, high pressure at maximum energy today. that's why it will be the hottest day of the week. we've got a little trough of low pressure that's going to cool us over the weekend, on-shore flow, marine air back over the bay as early as tomorrow. so we're not going to have to

live with this for that long, which is good news. take a look where we ended up, 95 in gilroy, 94 in livermore. i was watching temperatures soar all day long yesterday. we didn't break any records but, yeah, close to record highs. 61 in concord, 58 in hayward and 62 degrees today. right now in livermore headed to the 90s, full forecast in minutes. let's get you to work with mike. >> good morning, folks working in the south bay are happy early accidents hasn't happened since about 4:30 in the morning. 5:00 was when the last incident was reported and cleared from the south bay. 17 heading over the summit from bear creek to summit road, reminder, drain repair and clearing so they will have traffic control through the area. one lane in each direction. no major problems, though. the peninsula shows a nice flow for 280, 101 place dumb barton exchange, eastbound heading to the east bay closer to 6:00. no major slowing there.

sales of pickups are usually tied to the needs of workers who have to hall stuff or tow things. still a lot of analysts think the slowdown is necessary and sales hurt by high gas prices will improve later this summer. 80% of americans subscribe to cable television, those boxes themselves could be one of the biggest energy wasters in your home. they are always on even when the tv isn't. a cable box uses more than half the energy of a brand-new refrigerator. they are urging power saving technology used by cell phone in sleep mode to try and save us some money. >> that's pretty cool. that's a good idea. i try to unplug what i can, when i can. that tv sure does get used. >> absolutely. >> thank you very much. a viewer wrote me asking if the kids like to watch me. i said, no, they watch elmo. 5:17 right now. san francisco giant known for his wide side and trademark

some of the campsites have been closed. if we go live, i can show you what's going on. we have yosemite falls as the backdrop. this is cook's meadow. certainly several acres behind us here. if allen can pan down and just show you, it is flooded. this is what campers are dealing with out here. some of the trails are flooded. as i mentioned, some campsites are closed. nothing, though, compared to what has been here before, if we could walk over and give you a little tour here. this was the floodwater level in january of 1997. take a look at that sign. can you imagine this entire valley that deep under water. now, just a few minutes ago, i spoke to a park ranger who tells us there is some concern for the locals and campers out here right now. >> right now we're at high water. this is our peak flow, literally last night and today. what that means for visitors is

they may experience water on some of the trails, both front country and back country. we've also taken precautions and closed 40 campsites in lower pines and north pines as well, as well as 20 cabins and housekeeping camp. >> reporter: right now, the flood stage is 10 feet and the ranger tells us we're currently at 11.6 feet, hence, the flooding i should say. yosemite valley is full, all the campgrounds are full right now. we actually haven't found any campers to speak to just yet. we're hoping to speak to some a little bit later this morning. the thing to keep in mind, this is just the beginning. we are peaking today. who knows what is to come. i can tell you it is gorgeous. >> i used to work not too far from there. back in '87 i got stranded there. one of the most beautiful places to get stuck for a few days. >> really?

valley and councilman kansen chu. just as facebook gets ready for the offering, the number of users may be leveling off, even dropping. "today's" bob redell has more about facebook fatigue. >> inside facebook, this is a blogging and marketing research website, reporting that facebook itself, the website saw stupendous decline in numbers. particularly staunch in the united states. starting in may 155 million active users. by the end of the month, 149 million. for those of you keeping score, that's a drop of around 6 million people. 1.5 million canadians dropped out as well as hundreds of thousands of more users in the uk, norway and russia. and the rate of growth is down as well. it only added 11.8 million users worldwide, facebook that is.

i say only, because if you look at the numbers in the past march 2010 to march of this year, the website facebook was adding 20 million new users a month. you can see a decline in growth. there's four possible reasons it's happening, one, just market saturation. there aren't more people to tap. one could be fatigue, people are tired of facebook. it could be seasonal, a temporary dip, just like we see a spike in gas prices or decline in gas prices, we could see the same right now with people maybe not being attached to computers as much because of nice weather, graduation, traveling, that sort of thing. the fourth possible reason could be competition from other social media websites like twitter and linkedin. facebook does not release monthly traffic numbers. the website inside facebook came up with numbers by analyzing advertising data. facebook is criticizing their results. they say they are broad estimates. they say they are pleased with

their growth pointing out half their logger users logon to facebook on any given day. keep in mind, facebook still has 678 million users. it's not like they have fallen into ir relevancy. they did see big gains in the number of users in developing internet countries like brazil, india, and mexico. also keep in mind, this is interesting to note, china is a huge, untapped market. they have 420 million internet users but that government has blocked access to that website. >> they are really restricting them there. they can't become your friend, bob. >> darn. >> boy will they like you. >> yes. >> thank you. bob. it's 5:38 right now. let's check in with christina >> today is a good day to follow me on facebook. i'm going to be following your soaring temperature. 62 in san jose, your current temperatures, 53 in hayward, 54 in gilroy as we head through

welcome back, everyone. 5:42 right now. a new study out this morning finds the life expectancy of most people in the u.s. is actually falling behind the world's healthiest nations. "today in the bay's" tracie potts live in washington with a look at the study's results and how the bay area is faring. good morning, tracie. >> hey, good morning, laura. good morning, everyone. here in the united states we're spending more than any other major country on health and health care. but with all that money we're pouring into it, we're not living longer lives as a result. that according to the institute for health metrics and evaluation. their new report takes a county by county look all over this country at life expectancy. in fact, in california, it's about 77 years for men, 82 years for women.

that spread women about five years ahead, not unusual. those numbers very similar in san francisco county. but i can tell you for women, they are actually expected to live alt bit longer than the rest of the women in california where you are. overall, these numbers are worse for african-americans, worse for people who live in the south. why? because of obesity, because of tobacco use, the study's authors say. even though it's come down a lot, still a big factor, other preventible-type issues. they urge as a solution moving more health care facilities into communities, particularly for people who don't live in big cities like us and really have to travel a long way to get those preventive tests that can make them live a lot longer. >> that's right. always have to look at those. stay healthy, eat well. thank you very much, tracie. >> yes. >> 5:44, probably lessen the stress as well it's happening at the state capital as time is running out. state lawmakers have 19 hours to come up with a budget deal or
