7:13 am
>> i hope that mark zuckerberg is watching right now, because he gave $100 million to a school in newark a couple of years ago and recently he also gave millions of dollars to the silicon valley community foundation to help with education endeavors. and since san jose is in his backyard, i don't see why mark zuckerberg should not contribute to the schools here in san jose. >> certainly support the idea of encouraging mark zuckerberg to kick in a few bucks our way, but i don't have him on my speed dial, so i have, however, spent an awful lot of time fund-raising from the corporate sector to support schools. >> election day is set for june 3rd, but because there are ten candidates on that ballot, our political analyst says expect a runoff between the top two. san jose's willow glen neighborhood might be a little bess lively this morning. we are looking live at a business that might be feeling a little heat today.
7:14 am
a well-liked violinist was hauled off in handcuffs yesterday. for years people have sat and listened to gabriel partida play along right along lincoln avenue near the intersection with willow street. this is youtube video of him playing at santana row. a viewer let us know and we found out from the willow glen neighborhood association that he was arrested yesterday after a complaint from management of a nearby business that his music was too loud. many of the neighbors have posted on the wgna's facebook page, that's the neighborhood association's page, that they think this is a misuse of police resources and a shame for the neighborhood. we have reached out to partida and the manager who complained, but we have not heard back. of course it is early on a sunday morning so we'll keep trying. still ahead on "today in the bay," who could it be? the mystery surrounding a vacant piece of land that will soon be home to san jose's biggest

[ sparkle ] sweet. good morning to you. looking live at san rafael we can see the mountains there so the clouds are a little bit higher. but down in san jose it is a nice, pleasant start to the day. hope you have a nice hot cup of coffee waiting for you this morning as we tell you about this mystery in san jose. it is going to be big and lucrative to the city. a brand new 2 million square foot office complex capable of housing more than 8,000 employees. but who do they work for? city officials will only say this is a high-tech silicon valley tenant. on wednesday the city gave final approval to build that $700
7:18 am
billion ten-building complex at the corner of brokaw and north 1st street. here's what we know about company x. >> it's great news for silicon valley that the company is going to stay here and grow here. >> who is it? >> well, the company name is not something i can divulge. they have asked me to keep it confidential. i will. it's obviously a pretty big deal. >> reporter: a pretty big deal and a very big secret. the city approved the plan to turn 30 acres of grassy land and the card room into ten seven-story office buildings and courts for basketball, racquetball and squash. at 2 million square feet this development for company x is twice the size of facebook's menlo park campus and more than two-thirds the size of apple's planned spaceship in cupertino. they secured the permit in six months and got the city to forego $4 million in transportation impact fees.
7:19 am
the citibanking on what it will get instead. >> a couple million square feet, millions of dollars in tax revenues to the city. >> reporter: the mayor doesn't expect the tech push back that san francisco and mountain view are experiencing because not a lot of people live in this part of north san jose which he says is built for jobs. >> i think there's more than enough infrastructure to handle both the traffic in and out and the development. you're going to know where the heart of silicon valley is in the not-too-distant future. >> mayor reed says that the mystery tenant is a fortune 500 company already in the silicon valley, so not already in san jose. it did just take six months for the developer to get the planning permit for the project but the mayor says it's the city working at the speed of business. let's check in with rob mayeda for a look at the weekend forecast. the city said they're not even betting on march madness. this is the biggest office pool going. >> i believe it. we're looking at pretty
7:20 am
interesting weather. you wouldn't call it march madness weatherwise but a little bit of a roller coaster. we'll see temperatures warm up after the low clouds clear. san jose mostly cloudy but you take a look at san francisco and we're starting to see the skies clear a little bit. 50 degrees this morning and the low clouds pushed inland have brought up our morning temperatures. we're not seeing much in the way of 30s in the north bay bay. the winds, which were strongly on shore yesterday evening and overnight were starting to back op a little bit. a southwest wind getting into fairfield and also livermore but during the day today we'll see clearing skies inland and temperatures climbing into the 70s. the storm track continues to be aimed in the pacific northwest. it will be this system here that finally starts to break down the ridge of high pressure and sets the stage for the change in the weather during the day tuesday. so today skies start to clear inland and during the afternoon we'll start to see a little bit of the north wind down the clouds which will set us up likely for the warmest day of the week and that's going to
7:21 am
come monday as high pressure briefly builds in. tuesday that high gets bumped out of here and we'll see this first of two systems to impact us this week. tuesday afternoon we'll see rain at times into wednesday morning and then thursday perhaps a couple of lingering showers out of that system. friday a break. then as we get into saturday and sunday, here comes the next system on in and this is interesting. sunday this system looks stronger. good shot of seeing some rain there in the north bay, weak weakening as it moves south. the midweek storm looks like we'll pick up a quarter inch to third of an inch of rain. notice during the day tuesday rain totals relatively light. towards wednesday morning total come up. we're looking at a third of the inch for the north bay anand 0.2 for the south bay. in the sierra, early preview of what we're expecting tuesday afternoon to wednesday morning, about 3 to 5 inches of snow, but that system during the day
7:22 am
wednesday into thursday will likely take those numbers up to 24 inches of snow, down to 4,000 feet too. so that's great news for the sierra as we head through wednesday and thursday. more coming in as we head towards next weekend. with low clouds clear it should be a nice afternoon. 72 in san jose. peninsula temperatures upper 60s to close to 70 around palo alto. around san francisco we should see highs in the mid-60s. north bay low 70s today, similar to yesterday. for the tri-valley you'll see highs in the mid-70s for the afternoon. so the trend that we're going to see here over the next three days, monday still looks warm but tuesday the chance of seeing rain on into wednesday, wednesday probably the wettest day of the workweek, same story on the peninsula as we go from near 70 tomorrow into the 60s. san francisco seeing the same trend too. notice the focus of the rain. for san francisco up into the north bay on tuesday, the rest of the bay seeing some showers as we head through tuesday afternoon. then temperatures drop quite a bit.

7:37 am
>> reporter: when it comes to releasing information about injuries and accidents, ski areas have little oversight. we found there are thousands of ski and snowboard-related accidents just in california. incidents you won't hear about from the ski industry. from collisions, falls, to losing control, it's clear sliding down a mountain with flat objects strapped to your feet can be dangerous. not so clear is how often people get hurt. even though most ski areas are on federal land, no one independently tracks accidents and trends on the slopes. it's information that's readily available when accidents occur on roads or waterways, and is used to prevent future injuries and deaths. the ski industry self reports. the national ski area association says injury
7:38 am
statistics are used internally to help shape and influence educational efforts. according to their data, an average of 47 people are seriously injured at resorts nationwide. injuries they define as paralysis, broken neck or back, traumatic brain injuries and other serious injuries. that's out of the more than 50 million visits annually. it's a stellar safety record that we are unable to verify. the investigative unit asked for further details on how the industry tracks and defines injuries. >> accident information? well, yeah, we don't release it. >> reporter: a ski injury representative said injury data is kept private. >> we have 300,000 season pass holders and we listen to them. thebd that we have safety cultures. we have very strong safety cultures. >> reporter: there has been amazing strides in reducing fatalities and injuries over the
7:39 am
decades and they are now a rare owe sdplurccurrenc occurrence. >> ran right into me. blindsided me. >> reporter: the state health department does keep count of how many skiers and snowboarders turn up in california emergency rooms, like this man who collided with another skier at a tahoe area ski resort. >> big ball of blood here. >> reporter: according to data we obtained from the state, medical staff just in california treated more than 6,000 people a year for ski or snowboard-related ailments, including serious injuries like broken necks, backs, traumatic brain injuries, in addition to sprains or strains. compare that to the 47 serious injuries nationwide reported by the ski industry. we asked the nsaa to respond to the thousands of injuries not included in their statistics. the only national organization that tracks ski accidents told us they do maintain details
7:40 am
about accidents, but do not compile specific locations in their summaries because releasing information about the location would encourage misrepresentation, particularly by the media, creating a false impression that one state or ski area is safer than another. >> if you're going to have data, it needs to be clear. >> reporter: dr. warren withers finds it hard to imagine there would be fewer than 50 serious injuries a year. he is the director of the emergency room in south lake tahoe. he says during the winter months, at least one ski or snowboard-related injury a week will require overnight care. >> we see multiple rib fractures or collapsed lung or hemothorax which is blood around the lung. >> they do a lot to try and ensure safety, but it's not in a very public way. >> reporter: avid rider bob berwyn has been covering the ski industry for decades. we spoke with him from his home

looking live at fremont this morning, traffic moving along nicely on this sunday morning. a little bit of gray cloud cover. same thing in dublin. things looking nice. they will be pretty similar weatherwise as we saw yesterday. a flu continues to kill in the bay area. another person in santa clara county has succumbed to the virus. they lead the bay area with 19 victims. alameda and contra costa each have seven deaths while six in san mateo and sonoma counties have died from the flu. time is running out for uninsured californians who have not signed up for health care coverage. the deadline is nine days away. if you miss it, you not only will have health insurance but also have to pay a penalty. more than one million people have signed up for covered california. 200,000 in the bay area.

we're waiting for the low clouds to clear around the bay area right now. interesting, san jose mostly cloudy but we're starting to see breaks in the clouds from north to south. north bay starting to clear out. san francisco right now partly cloudy skies to mostly cloudy on the west side of downtown right now, 50 degrees there. still a bit of a sea breeze reaching san francisco but not as strong as we saw last night
7:54 am
which really helped bring in all those low clouds. a view from emeryville looking back to san francisco, 51 degrees, mainly cloudy skies across the central bay and really socked in around san jose but skies will continue to clear throughout the afternoon with 40s and 50s currently. winds onshore but not as strong. winds should stay onshore today but the sea breeze will begin to weaken as high pressure squishes down the marine layer from about 2,000 feet this morning probably closer for 1500 feet this afternoon. the net result will be the inland valleys and hilltop locations warming a little more as we head into monday. we've got the low clouds and maybe some mist at best underneath low clouds near the coast, but it's this system here that's going to put a dent in the ridge of high pressure which has been keeping us dry yesterday, today and at least one more day tomorrow. so you can see how the low clouds have got inland for the morning and sunshine for the afternoon and some clearing we

think along the coast as winds turn somewhat more out of the north and northwest during the afternoon today so temperatures climbing into the 70s inland and tomorrow morning we'll see patches of low clouds spreading inland again. so the two opportunities for rain. the first one on tuesday. you'll see it moving over the bay area. tuesday afternoon into wednesday we'll see the system come through and maybe a lingering shower into early thursday. the start of friday looks dry, saturday looks dry and by saturday night and sunday, the weekend system looks to pack the bigger punch. if those rainfall intensities vary, we could see an inch and a half next weekend. you can see next weekend as we go through sunday we'll see the system weakening as it slides out of the south bay. so the first of the two systems, rainfall estimates on tuesday mainly light rain. nobody really getting more than a tenth of an inch of rain. by tuesday night through wednesday, now you're looking at close to a third of an inch of
7:56 am
rain in santa rosa, but the hilltop locations will see a half inch to an inch out of the system so good news coming our way as we head towards the middle part of the week. today's highs in the south bay low 70s. san francisco in the low 60s. mid to maybe some upper 70s around sunol. i think monday for sure you see it there in the seven-day forecast, that should be the warmest day of the week. so the temperature trend that we'll be looking at over the next few days, we'll be watching these temperatures cooling down and then see them rebounding as we head towards friday. notice that, 75 on monday and the rain at times and big cooldown and drop in temperatures towards wednesday. kris. it is a show that attracts an estimated one million people here in the bay area and yesterday they roared back into the air over southern california. the blue angels made their return at the los angeles county air show. it is the last performance after a hiatus that cost the bay area
