complex did dial 911 early this morning, around 1:15 to call for help to let emergency know there was a 7-month-old baby boy who was unresponsive. it's not clear if it was one of the boy's parents that made the call. by the time police arrived, that baby boy was unfortunately dead. so far police tell us they have not made any arrests. reporting live in south san jose, bob redell, today in the bay. it is 5:02. learning new details about a hit-and-run crash in the south bay where a driver plowed into a group of cyclists. witnesses say the driver went to great lengths to hide their identity. the collision happened around 12:30 saturday morning on campbell avenue near the campbell community center.

san francisco. so they're still getting that normal summer pattern. meanwhile we have monsoonal moisture capable of producing strong thunderstorms. that goes from the north bay mountains, the best chance also goes for the south bay mountains and the spine of the sierra nevada. let's get right to it. here is your seven-day outlook. cierra thunder is what we'll be working with on sunday. the atmosphere not as right for those thunderstorms. friday, saturday, sunday, temperatures will level off and we'll see a drier pattern. back to that dry california heat. mike, that's a big smile on your heat about that. >> i'm smiling. then i'm thinking, i don't know. we have ants that found their way into our house. looking toward the maze, an easy drive toward the bay bridge. we showed you the change in flow. all lanes moving smoothly but getting ready for that morning commute. we're seeing the volume build up

problem. coming over the san mateo bridge, looking good. volume of traffic starting to get more company now. back to you. mike, thank you very much. right now a preview of an exclusive investigative unit report. a crisis has gripped our courthouses and is now affecting anybody who needs to file a small claim, get a divorce or settle a landlord-tenant dispute. every court in the bay area has seen longer delays in processing and scheduling civil cases on their calenders. across the entire state a total of 175 courtrooms have been closed due to budget cuts in the last decade. more than $1 billion has been cut from the state's judicial system by lawmakers in sacramento. to see exactly what that means, nbc bay area tracked the statistical delays in court calendars and discovered waits for civil cases can take four times as long as it did just a few years ago. >> we hear stories about victims of domestic violence who sleep

in their cars outside courtrooms because they can't get a hearing and they can't go home. >> we're creating backlogs. five years ago we had no backlogs. now in just about every division we have significant backlogs, particularly in civil and in family and in traffic and in records, substantial backlogs. >> coming up later tonight, investigative reporter stephen stock takes us behind the scenes of a system in crisis to see how this affects everyday people and he'll also be breaking down the numbers to see how long the wait for the justice system really is. that's coming up tonight at 11:00 on nbc bay area news. 5:20. a followup to a story we first told you about this weekend. the u.s. coast guard says the sailboat skipper who led them on a slow-speed chase in the san francisco bay was making false distress calls. a coast guard boat was patrolling near sausalito sunday afternoon when it picked up a distress call on the radio.

they tracked the call to david mccormick's boat and requested to board. he refused and sailed off. the coast guard boarded the boat and arrested mccormick after he allegedly lunged at an officer. he's in jail charged with assaulting a federal officer. we'll tell you about the bet that got away from him. a sports columnist calling out aaron rodgers after he made an ill-advised tweet. we'll explain next.

it will test for a human growth hormone t. players union declined to commentn baseball it is possible we could hear today more players will be suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs. the mlb expected to suspend as many as 20 players connected to a florida drug company. among those, the major name there, a's all-star pitcher bartolo colon, melky ka brer rand the yankees' alex records. the league has already suspended milwaukee brewer ryan braun who will be out the remainder of the season, doing it without getting paid. brawn was linked to the florida drug company that supplied players with performance-enhancing drugs. in a statement released by the mlb he says he made some mistakes and he will be accepting the consequences. just last season braun avoided suspension after a positive drug test because his sample was incorrectly handled. the 34rkslb is starting to crack down hard. that led the packers' aaron

rodgers to come to braun's defense. when asked if he believed braun didn't use peds, he said, yeah, i put my salary next year on it. the salary is worth about $4.5 million this year. however, don't bet on rodgers paying up on this one. 9ers fans may remember last year rodgers made a bet with the r&b group boys 2 men and promised to wear a 9ers jersey for a week if the packers lost. the packers lost, but rodgers did not wear said jersey. >> you'll be called grape soda. you know why? welch's. >> that much wit early in the morning. welcome back, jon kelley. welcome back some rain, too. >> we actually have a lot of rain t. whole radar lit up. widespread showers across the greater bay area. make sure you're ready for that.

found in a home on makati circle in south san jose near blossom hill and monterey highway. today in the bay's bob redell live on the scene with what he's just learned from police. >> reporter: good morning. it's standard in a case like this where you have a dead baby boy, 7 months hold. sjpd assigned the homicide unit to investigate. what they're trying to figure out is whether or not this was criminal or natural. was the baby murdered? did something happen as a result of foul play or is this perhaps natural death, maybe sudden infant death syndrome. they have not announced it yet to us. this happened overnight on makati circle in south san jose. 911 received an emergency phone call from this location around 1:15 this morning. the person on that phone telling the responder, my baby boy, 7-month-old baby boy was unresponsive. it's not clear if that call came from one of the boy's parents or

someone else. by the time police arrived here that child was dead. it should be noted that police have told us no arrests have been made. right now they're trying to figure out if this was an unfortunate, terrible tragedy, something that results from something natural or if there was something criminal that took place here. reporting live in south san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." it is 5:32 right now. a 16-year-old boy stands accused of raping an intoxicated 40-year-old south bay woman before ripping off her stuff. police say this happened saturday night after that woman took a tax k3i home from a bar. the taxi driver apparently asked another woman and her teenage son to help get the intoxicated woman inside her morgan hill home. later that night investigators say that teenager went back to the house and raped her. he's now also accused of later burglarizing her home with the help of his 15-year-old girlfriend and another friend. 5:32.

the man accused of kidnapping and killing morgan hill teen sierra lamar may finally enter a plea in mark. anti lynn garcia torres has not answered charges of murder and kidnapping. last month his attorney asked the prosecution to turn overall evidence in the case. prosecutors say they were working with the sheriff's department to do that. that means garcia torres may finally enter a plea today. sierra lamar disappeared in march of last year. her body has yet to be found. this morning campbell police on the hunt for a hit-and-run driver who swerved right into a bike lane and plowed into a group of bike riders. this happened around 12:30 saturday morning near the campbell community center.

the way. they say they were riding down the street when all of a sudden this car swerved right into the bike lane and hit two of them. then they say the driver actually turned off the headlights and turned the corner to avoid getting caught. we spoke with one of those cyclists who showed us the injury that he suffered in all of this on his leg, says he was on his bike early saturday morning with five friends on west campbell avenue. they were associated with a larger group of riders that meat once a month to ride. he says he heard the car coming fast but again had no time to get out of the way. they were in the bike lane when the car, a dark colored honda sedan swiped him from behind. the car, he says, hit his friend nicki. she flipped over on the bike and was unconscious for about two minutes. her friends say she suffered a fracture skull, hip and broken leg. the driver, nowhere to be found. >> something like that doesn't need to happen. you're with a group of friends

enjoying a bike ride and someone wants to be irresponsible and take off after you hit someone. it's not right. >> the bike she was on has a bent wheel and damage to the frame. there are marks, tire marks in the bike lane. one witness says that after the crash the driver who turned off those headlights sped down wind chester boulevard but not before leaving pieces of a broken mirror and broken head lamp on the ground. campbell police asking anyone with any information on this hit-and-run to please give them a kauchlt live in campbell, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you, christie. 5:35. a school district on the peninsula is considering legal action to have students' ap test scores reinstated. the santa fe school board will meet in closed session to discuss legal options. hundreds of mills high school students and parents met to discuss why hundreds of scores were thrown out.

toll plaza where things have started to stack up over the last few minutes. this is not necessarily due to the rain. but we're watching slicker conditions on traffic tuesday. beautiful sunrise. that's for sure. don't let that distract you from the fact that you may have slicker conditions. a slower drive out of the altamont pass. look over the upper right-hand corner. the blue and the green. that means weather roadways registering on our road weather index. the traffic and weather tied together. my system takes over and shows you where it's probably going to be slick on those roads for 580. 84 through vallecitos, a new crash showing up for grant line road. no lanes blocked from what i understand. a little slowing toward the dublin interchange as well. taking you to the north bay, a nice easy drive to and from the carquinez and ben neegs bridges. still a gravel spill and clean up going on. in the south bay we have our

of people crowding around for the changing of the guard ceremony. it happens every day. it was special today. they played "congratulations" in honor of the new prince. at any minute, the celebration is about to begin. we'll hear gun salutes bellowing out from the tower of london and green park in front of buckingham palace. ha is a long-standing tradition whenever a royal child is born. in terms of a name, everyone is still guessing. we have not gotten an update from kensington palace. they're only telling us it's going to come in due course. that could mean up to a couple weeks. wurn thing i can tell you is when kate and william do finally ave the hospital, they are expected to head toward kensington palace and could head to buckle berry where the middletons live where kate can relax and enjoy her new child. live in london, danielle lee, back to you. >> it will be interesting to see them walk out, if we get a glimpse of the baby at all. a lot of people anxious,

watching, waiting. >> reporter: that's true. there's a lot of enthusiasm and excitement. everyone wants to see the new prince. >> thank you very much, danielle. >> a lot of fun out there. it will take a little time to let them relax, get things together. >> there's no more relaxing. a new baby in the house. >> that's true. good point. you do know very well. moving the other stories. this is not something any of us will experience. how about almost being swallowed up by a whale? that's exactly what happened to a couple of guys not too far from the bay area. >> to dma the bay's marla tellez with the action all caught on tamara. >> one of these drivers happened to be rolling as two buddies almost ended up in the belly of a humpback. not a good place to be. this happened at pismo beach about 2 1/2 miles offshore. here is a map to give you a little perspective. i want you to meet sean stamback. he says he and his diver friends

set out to see if they could hear the whales sing. they didn't hear any music, but definitely got more than they bargained for. you can see sean and another guy in the water there. out of nowhere, here comes the two giant humpback whales, mouths wide open within feet of them. we'll show you again in slow motion to give you a better look of it. sean says he was right above one of the whale's tail and thought for sure he was going to get whacked or even worse considering the sheer size of the massive mammals. >> you see pictures, representations of how big a humpback whale is compared to a bus, to a jet. when you see one in person that close, they are giant. it blew my mind how big they are. >> probably an understatement there. everyone made it back safely to the boat. sean says he's never swam faster. one of the first things he did once he made it back to shore was post this video on youtube where it has almost a million

views so far. this just since saturday. we've also posted it on our website, nbcbayarea.com. so check it out there. if you're the whale watching type, now is the time. fish and wildlife officials say the humpbacks will be highly visible along the coast. the fairlawn islands are definitely the place to be to catch a glimpse. >> i'd stay on the island. >> with binoculars, way off in the distance. >> i think i'll stick to seaworld, behind the glass. >> not even in the splash zone. >> no, no. i like to stay dry. >> good deal. >> 5:46. speaking of that, meteorologist christina loren, if i step outside, i might not be able to stay dry. >> today is not your day. happy to have you back. >> happy to be back. >> felt like forever. good morning to you. 5:46. we have quite a few things to talk about. raindrops, thunderstorms and fog all in your morning forecast. so it's one of those mornings you don't want to mess around. make sure to give yourself

plenty of time, especially if you're driving those little ones around, maybe a summer camp, maybe to get a heads up on back to school shopping which is already being advertised. come on now. we want our summer. this is high atop san bruno. you can see through the low clouds. however, they are going to play a factor hugging the coastline, keeping things nights and school in the city by the bay. >> look at this. probably not expecting this much rainfall when you wake up. that is what's happening. widespread rain showers. little pops of color, little thunderstorms. within the thunderstorms you'll get brief heavy downpours, gusty winds and possibly pea to dime-sized hail. we'll be watching those for you all morning long, all the way through 11:30. i want to show you where the light rainfall is starting to come down over the santa cruz mountains. take it easy on 17 with a lot of rainfall on 101 between morgan hill and san jose this morning. keep that in mind. roadways nice and slick. river more, finally starting to

eastshore freeway. here is the backup for the cash lanes, going to the end of the parking lot. we should see the metering lights turned on, maybe ten more minutes it's traffic tuesday. low clouds, some mist and drizzle. we'll get another look outside and show you how things are shaping up. coming down the eastshore freeway, good volume, but easy spacing between the cars. clouds an issue, mist and drizzle all over. let's turn on the road weather index on our maps and see how things are affecting things. christina talking about livermore and the system breaking up. over here we do have the fact that it did fall, 580 and 84 around the isabel interchange. the blue is where you might find ponding. small puddles out of the altamonte pass. no crashes through the area. south bay also had rainfall. so the green painted over here, just wanted to show you where you might have slick roads. a crash at montague and agnew.
