a lot of the residents believed that mcdonald's wa derail efforts to fight childhood obesity and others concerned kids would run across the street and it would take business from nearby restaurants. they can't stop the mcdonald's from being built but might be able to keep it from having a drive-through. they have denied a permit for the drive-through leaving the final decision to the city council. >> that's where the traffic problems comes up, the risk to kids comes up and where we lose our ped neighborhood and the ease of getting in and out of this parking lot which only has these two significant entrances. >> this site is zoned and permitted for restaurant use. if they choose to drop their drive-through plans and meet our design guidelines, they can build right now. >> supporters of the mcdonald's say the restaurant would bring in 57 new jobs and $62,000 a

year in payroll taxes alone. now, again, about 100 people gathered to meet with councilman, peter constan. the anti-mcdonald's neighbors will meet again today to talk about where they will go from here. 5:04 now. 6-year-old eduardo grihalva has been battling cancer half his life. his only hope is a bone marrow trance plat. his favorite s.w.a.t. team visited him in the hospital and tested for a bone marrow match. today, the search to find a donor ramps up. bob redell is live in river glen school in san jose where they are holding a drive to help find the match. a sad story as well. >> good morning. later today, his family and teacher will be holding this

because you could be a match for someone else. today's drive is here at river glen school on broadway avenue in san jose. it is from 2:30 in the afternoon until 7:00 tonight. you must be between 18 and 44 years old. again, they are looking for donors with a latino or hispanic background that would help eduardo. anyone can show up. as i mentioned, just to get your name on the registry. reporting live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> 5:06 now. get ready for a dry summer. state and local water officials are warning californians to start saving water. the snow pack provides about one-third of california's drinking water. they are not waiting to call for summer water restrictions. the santa cruz city council is expected to vote on whether to impose the recommended water restrictions next month. the city's water supply is at

58% of normal since october. >> so we are going to have a storm come through on easter. right, christina? is that going to bring any snow back. >> it is but only the most high elevations. 6,000 feet plus is what i would say. we will accumulate the most over 7,000 feet. overall, that looks good. what i can tell you, that is not the only storm system we are watching for april. we are forecasting a more average rainfall than we had basically all month in march. we are going to get twice as much in april. a mile and a half of visibility in santa rosa. we are looking towards an active april. everything i am looking athe 15, 20 days out, we will pick up another couple inches in the north bay. all it takes is one to two good storm systems to make up the average. 7:00 a.m., a little bit of fog out there. it is not going to last very long. we stop that getting into 11:00. lots of sunshine and a mild start will bring temperatures up into the upper 70s, low 80s

expected. 76 degrees for concord. 78 in livermore and 72 in oakland. 70 degrees in san francisco. comfortable temperatures. that cut-off low arrives as we head throughout easter weekend. these are really hard to tell how much rain we are going to get. if it sits out there and spins, nothing to push it inland and it stays organized, one inch, an inch and a half. it could go down the coastline and not bring us much of anything staying mostly offshore. this could be pretty juicy. he is tracking your drive. he is anthony slaughter. good morning to you. so lovely this morning. definitely, some good advice. if you are making plans for this weekend, the advice is to take it slow. we are tracking dense fog. this is a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see the dense fog keeping the head lights on. some of the windshield wipers going definitely. another look from some of the dense fog perspective. you can see the golden gate bridge, typically fogged in at this time of morning. this is not unusual morning.

benefit from these changes. 5:13. a new record for the stock market this morning that scott mcgrew promises will go unchallenged today. >> the s&p hit an all-time closing high on thursday. there is no training today because of the good friday holiday. the s&p doesn't get as much attention as the dow but a better indication of what's going on because it tracks 500 stocks instead of the dow's 30. the latest highs are more related to the expectation the fed is going to continue its policy of easing than anything in the economy. low, almost nonexistent interest rates are driving people out of bonds and into equities. it is not impossible to think if the report is good, it could hurt the markets. people will worry that good news could slow the fed goodness. stock market and the economy are

two totally different things. the market would sink on good news. facebook will announce software thursday, either a new android app or a new operating system for your phone or something in betwe between. google has released a deal. you might see a warning on i facebook page. we are world champions for a few more days until the regular season gets underway. they are working on growing the team from one we love here in san francisco to one that is beloved the world over the way the yankees or the boston red sox is, a megateam. larry bear is going to be my guest this week. we are going to talk about what the giants brand means. we will have some advice and i will slip in a few beer prices. we talk about that. the giants have this wine and

you know we stay mostly dry until 2:00 p.m. on saturday. by 11:00 p.m., the first band of moisture starts to move joon shore. temperatures are going to be mild. the rain will come through for easter sunday at least until about noon. 78 lever more. 73 in san jose. not our only chance for rain. wednesday into thursday, another storm system. it looks like we could be talking about rain chances wednesday, thursday, friday, and saturday of next week. we'll keep tabs on that. 5:17. anthony is keeping tabs on your drive. a live look out across the bay bridge toll plaza. visibility not all that great. a little more car activity on the roadways. make sure you have the windshield wipers on and those headlights on as well. let's take you to the golden
