earlier this week are getting some unlikely help from a san francisco leader. i'm christie smith. i'll explain coming up. and it's festival season in the bay area. i'm meteorologist christina loren. i'll let you know what the weather holds for this weekend. what cities are going to get the best of it coming up. and we'll also see what cities get the worst of it as far as the morning commute. already showing slowing for 580. i'll show you what else is waiting for you this friday. and we give you a live look outside. that is real nice. the sun right in the middle of the golden gate bridge. we get all the colors coming together as the traffic flows smoothly on a friday, on cinco de mayo eve, may 4th, "today in the bay." good morning. thanks so much for joining us. 6:00, i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm jon kelley. this just in, the department of

labor's monthly jobs report is officially out this morning. scott mcgrew is here to show us and, of course, give us insight into what they exactly mean. good morning, scott. >> well, good morning to you. the number we care the most about is 115,000. the american economy gained 115,000 jobs in the month of april. that is an enormously disappointing if expected number. now, the unemployment rate falls to 8.1%. that would appear to be good news. but there's something called the participation rate that we rarely talk about. and that is 63%. the number of people participating or wanting to participate in the economy and jobs has fallen. so people have stopped trying to find jobs, and that's one of the reasons you're seeing the unemployment rate drop. i often tell you to ignore the unemployment rate. this month, i'm especially telling you to ignore it because of the number of people who have

left the labor force, the participation rate. so again, is 15,000, that's not enough to compensate for the number of 18-year-olds coming into the -- into the labor force each month. so it's a net negative technically. we can get through this, we might see something better come this summer, but it's a pretty poor number. back to you. >> no kidding. thank you very much. it's 6:02. and new this morning, four people are behind bars following an overnight gang sweep in san francisco. members of the city's gang task force served a warrant at a home on dartmouth street in the city's portola district. you can see the suspects being taken from that home in handcuffs. 12 inspectors remain on the scene following those arrests. police say the activity was part of an ongoing gang investigation. okay. you've probably seen it out on the roads, a lot of us have. the shock of suddenly finding a motorcyclist sharing that lane right next to you. a survey on how drivers actually feel about what's called lane splitting is out this morning. bob redell is live.

he has more on the controversial practice and how common it really is out on california highways. good morning, bob. >> well, good morning to you, jon. you've probably been heading up 880 like we're doing now and you've seen motorcyclists do it. it's called lane splitting. it's a very dangerous maneuver if neither sides are paying attention. that's when the motorcyclist passes between you and the car next to you, straddling the painted line that separates the lanes. and as i said it, you're not paying attention, it can be very dangerous for both parties. did you know that it is entirely legal for motorcyclists to do this? california, the only state in the country that allows this. and if you didn't know that, you're not alone. to kick off motorcycle safety awareness month, the state's office of traffic safety has just released this survey that found that barely half of us know that lane splitting is legal. 87% almost all motorcyclists do it, and a small portion of drivers, 7%, admit trying to stop the practice by blocking motorcyclists.

>> i don't think they should be able to. >> why? >> why? because if i have a right to change lanes if traffic is moving, he can come out of nowhere. disappear out of nowhere. and that makes it actually my fault i also believe. >> probably wondering why would the state conduct this survey? what's the point? well, they say they're going to use the results to help come up with a plan to reduce motorcycle death and injuries. now, in spite of the number of motorcyclists splitting lanes, the number of motorcyclists dying on the roads has been going down recently. this is after more than ten years of increases. now the state because it's motorcycle awareness safety month, they are recommending that motorcyclists do pick a lane so they're more visible not sneaking up on the side of your car or in your blind spot. and they're asking drivers to increase their stopping distance to keep in mind it's a lot harder for a motorcyclist to stop than it is for a car. and they're asking both parties, both motorcyclists and drivers

to just share the road. reporting live here on northbound 880 approaching milpedas, bob redell, "today in the bay." san francisco police looking for a hit-and-run driver this morning happened overnight on mission and 19th. the driver of a mustang ran a red light causing a cab to crash into a building. the mustang's driver ran from the scene of the crash. police found alcohol on that car -- the car -- the floor of the car -- right there they found alcohol. no word on injuries this morning. help is on the way for a san francisco neighborhood hit hard by vandals. "today in the bay's" christie smith is live where one city leader is trying to get help for merchants. good morning. >> good morning to you, laura. we took a drive down valencia street and a lot of the damage was cleaned up as you might imagine, but some businesses are still boarded up out here this morning after their glass was smashed. san francisco d.a. is now

encouraging the public to get involved and help these businesses get back on their feet by donating. on monday night, a group of protesters split from a rally at the park and busted windows, spray painted cars, even the mission police station was hit too. but many in the occupy movement are saying it wasn't them, it was probably infiltrators, but many of the businesses are small and privately owned so gaston is encouraging the public to donate to the we pay donation site that was designed by blumentheld. they've raised $6,800 with a goal of about $10,000. and he's going to be out here on valencia to personally talk about this at 1:30 this afternoon. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." 6:06. occupy protesters arrested for taking over a vacant san francisco building facing new charges this morning. dozens of protesters were arrested wednesday at the city's

morning. but we're still mostly cloudy here in the south bay, same for the east bay. 70s today, p.m. sunshine and a lot of it. as a matter of fact, it's so crystal clear out there because the showers that came through. we've got good air quality for today, seven day really heats up. as you're trying to pick your wardrobe out today, 64 degrees at noon, dress in layers inland, on the cool side right by the water, keep that in mind, but lots of sunshine today, and that warm up kicks into high gear tomorrow and sunday. your full forecast in moments. >> you know i was tracking this incident. the disabled truck reported on the upper deck of the bay bridge as you're heading over from oakland into san francisco. i just refreshed the chp report and it has now cleared. that's great news because my suspicion was the bridge cleared shortly after being reported anyway. the metering lights, obviously it's too early for that on a friday, but we have a build for the volume of traffic. 680, reports of somebody running out of gas somewhere along this stretch. but we don't see any slowing for

lanes. a smooth drive through wall net creek. 242 also looking really nice. just at the merge, a blip. and that 62 registers smooth through bay point. we had seen that trending down and now it's up to the speed limit. slow through antioch as we expect, guys. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. 6:09 right now. santa clara man behind bars accused of holding a girl against her will. a vta employee credited with rescuing the teenager. 23-year-old merced pacheco faces false imprisonment and sexual assault charges. he and the 16-year-old girl were stopped for a fair violation on tuesday. while being questioned, the teenager confided to the vta worker that she was being held against her will. inspector maurice legrand says he knew what to do. >> the main thing was once she told me she wanted to be away from him and the other things she said. i said, you don't have to worry about him taking you anywhere. we're going to make sure you're

safe. >> the teenager had been listed as a missing person. investigators are still trying to determine whether the relationship between pacheco and the girl was consensual. a home in san jose just a smoldering ruin this morning. we have cell phone video to show you of that three-alarm blaze last night. the raging flames consuming that house on topaz avenue. fortunately no matter how bad it got, everybody was able to get out okay, though one person was treated for smoke inhalation. an aggressive response prevented that situation from being much worse. >> what we tried to do was contain the fire to the house of origin and not let it spread and that's what we did. and we were aggressive by calling this a third alarm quickly to get a lot of resources here in order to protect that so the fire didn't extend to the houses next to it. >> there was some damage to the home next door, but not nearly as severe as the home that actually burned. so far, the cause of this fire remains unknown. and new details about another tragic fire in san jose.

we've learned the 6-year-old boy rescued from a burning townhouse on tuesday has died. the boy's mother was also killed in the two-alarm blaze that started in the garage below the unit. five other family members including the boy's father survived. fire investigators are still not sure if that apartment had a working smoke detector. >> so very, very sad. pablo sandoval sl have to take time off to heal. why he'll never suffer this injury again. and san jose police are gearing up for what could be a very rowdy weekend. good morning, i'm marla tellez. i'll tell you how they're prepping for cinco de mayo coming up. and yahoo tries to figure out what in the world went wrong ng degree he didn't.their ceo l 'ltadn a look inside the allegations coming up. never in my lifetime did i think i could walk 60 miles in 3 days.

we continue covering breaking news out of sfo this morning. the airport says there has been a security breach in terminal three. a live look at sfo once again. a reported breach of security in terminal three. officials had to clear out that terminal and then rescreen everyone between 3:30 and 4:00 this morning. at this point, there's no specific information to exactly what led to the security breach. we have been told passengers are allowed back inside right now. we will, of course, keep you updated on a security breach at sfo. 6:14. brace yourself for cinco de mayo crackdowns. extra police patrols and dui check points. marla tellez live in downtown san jose with more on how police are planning to keep an eye on the partiers. good morning, marla. >> reporter: good morning. those partiers, they have a slew of bars to choose from here in downtown san jose. what often happens is the cinco

de mayo celebrations turn violent. but san jose police say they are prepa prepared. take a look at the scene from last year. police say almost ten people were arrested. one person was even stabbed. fights broke out and businesses were trashed. hardly a way to celebrate a holiday. so this year, as is pretty typical, police say they are stepping up staffing today through sunday. with increased patrols and dui check points especially in downtown. and to the east and the foothills where the party often ends up. this weekend could be extra tricky for police because you know what? it's not just cinco de mayo, there's a couple big events. tomorrow is the 138th annual kentucky derby, that's a big one. and then in the boxing world, what is being dubbed the biggest fight of 2012, floyd mayweather. both of those events often inspire get togethers and often involve drinking. police want to remind everybody no matter what you're

celebrating this weekend, do so responsibly. live in downtown san jose, i'm marla tellez, "today in the bay." >> thank you so much, marla. once again, breaking news out of sfo this morning. the airport says there has been a security breach in terminal 3. officials had to rescreen everybody between 3:30 and 4:00 this morning. >> there's no specific information we know yet on what led to that breach. but we want to check in with mike mckaren. he is the spokesperson out there. are you there? >> i'm here, good morning. >> do we know what that breach was about? >> we do. i still can't comment on it. it was a procedural breakdown is what it was. >> okay. so it wasn't a suspicious package or anything like that? >> it was just a procedural breakdown with someone who should not have been inside the building -- and it's currently being investigated at this time. >> okay. how are we looking at this time in terms of terminal three people being able to come and go? >> well, we have every check point open right now. everyone's being screened as quickly as they can. there'll be some delays for

flights probably for the first hour, hour and a half. our first flight is scheduled to gout out just before 7:00. i don't believe it has yet. it's going to be a slow morning. we should be caught up by mid-morning. >> you say you can't reveal too much about the information of what exactly happened. but what can you tell us as far as the level of security? or did you feel like any of the passengers that were being screened or are coming into the airport might be at risk? >> reporter: at no time was that a problem. between midnight and 6:00, that terminal. this occurred the middle of the morning, early morning, but we have employees and concessioners inside the building. getting those people out, rescreening the building, making sure it was safe and getting the check point open as quickly as we could. >> no one's been taken into custody or anything like that? >> people are being interviewed at this time, but no one in custody. >> best bet for folks to check ahead on those flights. >> pardon me? >> check ahead on your flights

because they could have some delays there? >> we have some delays but we are trying to get caught up as quickly as we can. >> all right. thank you very much. we appreciate your time on that one and will keep you updated as that story progresses. >> it was a security breach there at terminal 3. and now just trying to get caught up, as well. want to get caught up when it comes to the forecast. things are certainly going to shine later. >> they're already shining in san francisco, which is good news. because with that situation you don't want any additional delays. no low ceilings to report this morning. in fact, i wanted to show you just how clear the morning is over the city by the bay just beautiful conditions shaping up. we still have some pretty good cloud cover left over in san jose as that system that brought us the rain is now pushing into central california. we still have the leading edge out there. 51 degrees in livermore, 52 degrees in sunnyvale and 50 degrees in san mateo. a nice, mild start to the morning. tomorrow morning, we're talking about temperatures in the mid 50s making for a gorgeous day with temperatures jumping back

into the 80s. one of the reasons for the change is offshore flow. we're getting strong winds today. we'll continue to see these winds gust. as we head throughout the weekend, gradually picking up as we head throughout the day. so winds out of the west/southwest sustained in fairfield at 9 miles per hour in santa rosa. as we head throughout the day, it'll be a little bit gusty right at the coast as the system moves out and high pressure moves in. the two work against each other creating a tight pressure gradient. for us, that means windy conditions at the coast, but that wind is going to keep our skies nice and crystal clear and we have good air quality courtesy of those showers that rolled through yesterday. lots of sunshine all weekend long. great weekend to get on outdoors and a lot happening here in the bay area. as we head throughout today, looks like this, stopped the future cast clock for you at noon. i'm just putting those words together today. and you can see here mostly sunny conditions at that point. we're looking really good, as a matter of fact, for today temperaturewise, 70s in fairfield, 60 in san francisco. by tomorrow, though, we're talking about 70s, even in the

city, oakland, you should hit about 73 degrees tomorrow. sunday looks good for outdoor activities, as well. peak warmth for the weekend, 83 degrees. if you're trying to make the outdoor plans and want the sunshine at the coast, you're going to get it on sunday. we're going to keep that in the mix through thursday of next week. we have a lot happening. giants game tonight, we've got that livermore wine country festival happening. i'll have forecasts for both coming up. right now, we want to get you out that door on time with mike. >> and friday, we were concerned when there was an incident on the bay bridge. it cleared the disabled truck, a live look out there shows you, that's good news because this is as the volume really kicks up now coming out of the oakland side. we may see those metering lights turn on shortly. so far, no major issues getting over from the east bay into the city. in the city, a smooth drive for these freeways. but the cable cars, the california line out of service this morning. there's a bus bridge in place and it happens quite often -- not quite often, but from time to time. the bummer, though, is for tourists in town already. you're not going to get to use

the california cable car line, at least not today. you can use the bus bridge, that's fun too. a smooth drive between san mateo and the city, 101, not a problem, light volume right now and we'll jump down to the south bay where we show the northbound routes. smooth drive, the earlier debris cleared. good stuff, guys, back to you. >> i don't think the tony bennett song all the way to the stars -- no. but have fun. it's 6:21 right now. the board at yahoo says this morning it'll investigate why the company claimed its ceo had a computer science degree when he did not. scott mcgrew says that minor point turning into a huge disaster. >> you know, this company did not need this. good morning. it's not clear, laura, who first claimed scott thompson had a computer science degree, but at the very least, the yahoo ceo sat idly by while his employer told shareholders and financial regulators he had such a degree from stone hill college in massachusetts. i talked with stone hill

college. he said, "mr. thompson did graduate on may 20th, 1979 with a bachelors in science in business administration." the first person to discover this discrepancy was the fellow by the name of daniel lowe. and he wants some of his own people on the board and he's not been shy about criticizing mr. thompson there. scott thompson's been making major changes at yahoo, but not fast enough for mr. lobe. as for yahoo, it said in the statement there was an inadvertent error that stated he holds a degree in computer science. this in no way alters the fact he's a highly qualified executive. mr. thompson has a lot of enemies, including david sachs. you may recall, he's the guy that required $25,000 to anyone at yahoo who left the company to work for yammer. i talked to sachs about that, he said it was punishment for yahoo. >> i was trying to give yahoo employees a little motivation to

rethink their situation in light of management's decision to become a patent. i was reacting to the patent lawsuits against facebook. >> you can watch more of the interview with david sachs including the facebook ipo coming up this sunday on press here. >> look forward to it, scott. 6:23 right now. we are getting ready to take you live to churchill downs. yeah and some of that mint julius.amous mint juls. >> still to come. -dad, why are you getting that? -that's my cereal.

is there a prize in there? oh, there's a prize, all right. is it a robot? no. is it a jet plane? nope. is it a dinosaur?] [ male announcer ] inside every box of heart healthy cheerios are those great tasting little o's made from carefully selected oats that c help lower cholesterol. stickers? uh-uh. a superhero? ♪ kinda.

well, tomorrow they will be off and running down in kentucky. that is the kentucky derby. it's just nothing but a big-time party. and guess who was at that party front and center? yes, our very own tracie potts again all dressed up. tracie going above and beyond the call of duty. she's going to tell us about the fashion parade and what's happening with the race, right, tracie? >> reporter: fashion parade a big part of it. good morning, everyone. it's going to be lots of fun. the kentucky derby is much anticipated every year. today we've got, of course, the oaks, which is a different race, sort of the local version of the derby and the big one tomorrow. last year there were 165,000 people who came out to churchill downs. they're expecting that this year, as well. lots of charity events, a big

fashion show as you were saying. the hat -- the hats, a big part of this. a lot of people come out just to see all the fancy hats. i've got it from a very good inside source that the hats may go a little smaller this year. not as small as last year, the fascinators, but not the big, wide brims we sometimes seen in the past. and then, of course, another really big tradition here is the mint julup, the official drink of the derby for a century. and this year, of course, selling the $1,000 drink for charity. they actually have that $2,000 version in a beautiful pewter cup with gem stones, but that one i am told is completely sold out. so you're going to have to find somewhere else to put your $2,000, maybe a bet on one of these horses. >> fun, fun. >> tracie potts, thank you very much. you look great. 6:27 right now. still to come on "today in the bay," what polic say likely played a part.

"today in the bay's" christie smith live in san francisco where city leaders are encouraging the public to step up and step in to maybe donate to a special website. >> reporter: good morning, jon. and happy friday. you drive near valencia street near 17th and you can still see the damage here. boarded up windows and spray paint. some of the businesses that were hit are coming forward. he's going to be encouraging the public to donate to the we pay donation site to help these businesses get back up on their feet. we checked out the site this morning and it shows about

$6,800 has been raised in donations and they have a goal of about $10,000, which could go up when all the damage estimates are in. on monday, a group of protesters broke off from a larger group demonstrating against economic inequality in advance of the tuesday may day rallies and broke some store windows along valencia. the members of occupy sf say it wasn't them. regardless within 15 or 20 minutes, the damage was done. even the mission police station was hit. they will be here with the store owners trying to recover talking about it right where we are here on the 600 block at 1:30 this afternoon.

from that crash and police are reporting they found capitalcoh the floor of that car. no reports on any injuries this morning. well, a community where sierra lamar disappeared seven weeks ago now better equipped to hopefully prevent a future abduction. a self-defense class held last night. they say the best defense is be aware of your surroundings at all times. things like no texting while you're walking to your car. organizers say if sierra was, in fact, abducted, a self-defense class may have helped. and tonight, a fundraiser for sierra lamar will be held in fremont at holy spirit parish hall that starts at 6:00. 6:34 right now. maybe one of the scariest sites on bay area freeways. motorcycle sharing lanes with speeding cars. a survey on how drivers feel about what's called lane splitting splitting is out this morning. and bob redell live from on the road with one of the most alarming facts about the dangerous practice. good morning. >> yeah, good morning to you.

we're on northbound, southbound 880. we actually are witnessing some lane splitting right now with a commuter who is on a motorcycle. and you're probably familiar with the practice. that's where you're in your car, you've got another car next to you, and then the motorcyclist comes right between the two cars. basically straddling the painted line that marks the different lane. well, you probably didn't realize this, but it's completely legal in the state of california. california being the only state in the country that allows this. if you didn't realize it. you're not alone. to kick off motorcycle safety awareness month, the state's office of traffic safety has just released a survey that found that half of us drivers know that lane splitting is legal. 87%, that's almost all motorcyclists, they do it. and a small portion of drivers, 7%, admit to trying to stop the practice by blocking motorcyclists. >> yes, i do know it's legal, and it's -- i do believe it's unsafe, though. i mean, no matter how much you

look for a motorcycle, there's a fraction of a second that you don't see anything on your side even though you've checked. >> reporter: now the state will use the results of this survey to help come up with a plan to reduce motorcycle deaths and injuries. in spite of the number of motorcyclists who are splitting lanes, a number of them dying on the roads has been going down in recent years. this is after more than a decade of increases. now the state is recommending motorcyclists pick a lane during this month and continue on with that practice, so they're more visible, not sneaking up on our blund spot and recommending the drivers increase their driving distance behind motorcyclists, because if a motorcyclist has to stop suddenly, they're much more vulnerable with you as a driver smashing into it them. this is motorcycle safety awareness month. asking that drivers and motorcyclists just share the road. reporting live here on southbound 880. today in the bay. >> thank you very much, bob.

lots of reasons to call this a feel-good friday. it is friday. and the second one, this weekend looks spectacular. >> it's festival season here in the bay area. we've got a lot happening this weekend that will get you outdoors in this beautiful weather. you'll want to keep that sunscreen handy. we've got a lot of sunshine even today. full deck of clouds over san jose for now. let's go ahead and show you san francisco where we're actually getting some clearing so far this morning. and the reason why, you can see this camera bumping around a little bit. we have winds picking up. also ripples out on the bay indicative of the winds picking up. they will do so throughout this afternoon. 52 degrees in oakland, for now 52 to start in sunnyvale and 52 comfortable in san jose. we'll continuously clear out throughout the day today. by about noon, mostly sunny conditions over the entire bay area. 70s inland as a result and then we keep you warming up all the way through monday. temperatures getting close to that 90-degree mark coming this weekend. i'll talk about where and when in my next report. seven-day ready to go.

first, let's get you out that front door. >> let's give folks the update. reports of a stalled vehicle at the high-rise, gotten it off the bridge, over on to the palo alto, east palo alto side. we do see a little slow down coming up over on the dumbarton bridge toll plaza area, but not related to any lanes blocked. so far, a light volume of traffic and a little slowing here bottom of your screen, southbound 880 heading out through union city. typical pattern for a friday there coming off the castro valley y. little blip northbound off the split and the metering lights are now on. berkeley curve, you'll see the slowdown there, but overall, the lighter volume, just about a 20-minute drive coming off of the carquinez bridge down to the toll plaza, folks. back to you. >> little blip not going to hurt our weekend. coming up on "today in the bay." getting ready for this weekend's cinco de mayo celebration. we'll have a live report looking at the events coming up.
