novato, even santa rosa. not expected much up there. with he stop that clock at 5:00. as you drive home from work, showers could come into play. like i said before, nothing too substantial. we are going to pick up maybe .500 of an inch to 0.10 of an inch. highs, comfortabled today. you won't need the summer gear. you can switch back to spring or fall as temps are going to remain in the 70s as we head throughout the next few days. give your a.c. and heater a break. enjoy mother nature's natural coolant as we head throughout this weekend. mother's day weekend. temperatures are going to warm up. if you want to hit the beach on sunday, comfortable conditions out there. don't forget about mom. >> we are looking over here. we are looking at the bottom of your screen. you see that one set of head lights that are not moving. that may be a tow truck. we have reports of a disabled vehicle that's on that span

the pictures of the people who have been temporarily banned from b.a.r.t. property. this really isn't public information. more like so they can know but these are people who have basically gotten violent on trains even to debate b.a.r.t. property. used b.a.r.t. as a public restroom, harassed riders or station agents. this ban can run 30 days to a year. what they are saying is, you see something, pick up a white courtesy phone and let the station agent know about it. under the policy, b.a.r.t. can ban people who are arrested or convicted of a misdemeanor for threats of violence, lewd acts, possession of a controlled substance, cited three times in three months for things like using a train at a bathroom. passengers we spoke with this morning say it makes sense within limits. >> urinating or messing up seats, spilling stuff, i can see that. but speech, very delicate.

our rights are being trampled and i'm very conscientious about that. >> reporter: a recent state legislation makes it easier to issue these type of orders. b.a.r.t. already has the ability to ban certain passengers with the help of the district attorney's office. the case goes to a hearing officer for review. that person is notified and has ten days to modify or appeal this. there are already about 130 people on this stay-away list. b.a.r.t. expecting that number to grow. reporting live in fremont, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thanks. some south bay singers getting a chance of a lifetime. how cool is this? we will let you know how they share the stage with rock in roll legends > "saturday night live" taking on google glass. we will have a clip coming up. look at them kids.
