"today in the bay" bob redell is live near the school with doors are locked and no trespassing signs are up. if you're a student, what are you supposed to do? >> bryman students are supposed to come back here at 10:00 a.m. this morning and they'll have their questions answered. such as will i graduate? will i get college credit? if not, will i get a refund? the santa clara county put up a green no trespassing office and students were in class at the time, received no notice.

someone interrupted their instruction and told them they have an hour to leave campus. a locksmith came in and changed the locks on all 30 doors. t one said eviction restoration notice. a student who is training to be a medical assistant wonders if the bryman college didn't pay their rent. if that's the case. what happened to her $16,000 that she spent on tuition for her eight-month program that she's supposed to complete in july. >> i might get half, i may get none. i'll have to start all over again. >> if you have to start over? >> more money i owe for college and expenses. >> bryman college is run by t the -- our understanding if you're a student here, show up at 10:00 a.m. this morning and

your questions will be answered. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell. >> we'll be back to report it back, bob, thank you. part of the task force created after lopez was shot and killed by a sheriff deputy in santa rosa will be in the south bay next month. according to the press democrat the panel is supposed to come up with a model for independent reviews of officer-involved shootings and it hopes to get some ideas from san jose. officials hope to learn more about various models and select one that improves a relationship between law enforcement and santa rosa residents. there have been numerous protests since lopez was shot last october. lopez was carrying a replica rifle at the time and the deputy thought the rifle was real. alameda city council will vote on a plan to outfit four patrol cars with moving parked vehicles. get gps coordinants and time and

image and the date and time the image was captured and as part of the plan the data will be stored for six months before it's merged from the system unless investigators need it for the case. the system will cost about $80,000 to outfit each patrol car with cameras. san jose city council will today vote on whether to recommend the century 21 domes as a historical landmark. a city commission voted earlier this month to recommend landmark status for the site. the national park service will look at the issue next month. the property owners shut down the dome theater in march. wants to tear it down to make a new development. a fight on capitol hill today over school lunches. the cause championed by the first lady will go up against lobbyists who say the healthier lunches are costing them money. "today in the bay" peggy bunker live in san jose with more on that debate. good morning, peggy. >> good morning, laura. i don't know about you, but back in school we had scary things

like horrible pizza, bad burritos and i stuck with the safe stuff like french fries and that is a battle that the first lady is waging. our kids are just eating junk when they go to school and believe it or not she's facing opposition on capitol hill today. today is the day the senate appropriations committee will meet to talk about what the standards are for food lunches. they have been getting healthier, less salt, less fat, less sugar. guidelines imposed after the nutritional content of what our kids are eating at school came under scrutiny. the school that adhere to the guidelines says a lot of the healthy food they ended up serving ended up in the trash and ended up costing them money. giving struggling schools a one-year waiver from the requirements. school nutrition association says the guidelines just go too far. >> you just need a little more time to get the kids used to what we're offering and have the products available that we can get at a reasonable cost and that students will accept.

>> now, as you might imagine, the first lady was so horrified by this concept that we might take a couple steps back on this issue. she called several people together and many health food advocates to the white house to discuss the issue. the people that attended that meeting say she was just outraged by it. in fact, she was so strongly upset about it, they actually spoke out to reporters afterwards. so they will hear about these guidelines relaxing them for certain schools for up to a year where, i guess, we'll see squares of pizzas coming back on school trays, once again. you can imagine, laura, parents will watch this one very closely. >> definitely, you want to know what your kids are eating, as well. for you and i, as well, we'll put down the doughnut and pick up the fruit this morning. >> i'm trying. >> so am i. thanks a lot. let's join meteorologist christina loren this morning. i see a lot of green behind you. >> i'm thinking about fried chicken not fruit at this point.

good morning to you. you know what, though, we've been up for several hours. we get up early to prepare this newscast for you and this morning mother nature creating quite a fireworks display. now, this is over the sierra nevada not here in the bay area, but i do want to show it to you because the same air mass overhead and the instability much cooler here in the bay area. as we warm up this afternoon, we'll increase that chance of thunderstorms and right now you can see a little activity out there over the coastal mountains and precipitation that dissipates and it actually evaporates. as we head throughout the day today, light shower activity and not enough to where you need to keep your umbrella by your side. we are headed towards comfortable conditions and give that ac a break today in the south bay. 72 degrees and 64 for san francisco and 73 degrees in the east bay hills with a chance for thunder. i will show you your futurecast and best chance for showers today and we have a big warming trend coming our way for our

holiday weekend. that's coming up next. here's mike with your drive. >> looking christina at the south bay and northbound 101 and flow pretty typical volume and let's look at the entire south bay. typical right here with that green, but a little farther south heading out of los gatos and reports around a three or four vehicle crash and that direction looks a little slow. we have reports that one lane is currently blocked. this might be sticking out into the second lane, only two available through the area. that is a concern as you're heading south through the santa cruz mountains and still waiting for an update from chp and i do see the sensors and they tell the tale of a smoother drive. heading up towards the bay bridge. we get a look at that bridge because it has a wind advisory issued by chp overnight. same thing for the carquinez, benicia bridges and gusty conditions at times like it was yesterday evening and plan for that and no problems reported other than a warning.

>> all right, mike, thank you much. san francisco's famous tourist spot might be closed during the weekends and the summer. >> i like how you did that. a proposal is on the table to temporarily block off tourists because of safety concerns. "today in the bay" christie smith joins us live by laumbard street on details why neighbors support the possible closure, i would imagine. good morning, christie. >> good morning to you, scott and laura. we just drove it this morning on the way to our story and easy to forget what kind of white knuckle drive it is. you is have to hold on and pump the brakes. it is a fun ride, but you forget that there are neighbors nearby and what some of them are saying that the tourism they're seeing is just too much. the crooked street is packed with cars and spewing exhaust and people driving, hanging out of windows, snapping selfies as they go down and some rolling rocks down to see what they'll do. what is happening now is what

maybe they're saying is that it spills over into the russian hill neighborhood. so, today the municipal transportation agency will consider a summer shutdown. this is almost temporary for about four weeks between june 21 and july 13th from noon to 6:00 also on the fourth of july, which happens to fall on a friday this year. mta says that the long lines of cars can create safety issues spilling out to other streets. as you can imagine, for tourists, well, they're not too happy saying this is part of the san francisco experience. but what would happen is that this would impact eastbound traffic on lombard street between larkin and leavenworth at the times that i mentioned. it's only an experiment, though, that could eventually lead to more shutdowns but one thing is for sure. whatever happens back here live no matter what kind of shut downs they do, you can always still walk it. so, good exercise for you. reporting live in san francisco,

christie smith, "today in the bay." >> everybody always walks down, never up. thank you, christie. it is 5:10 right now. the nba new moves to kick out sterling. a hollywood actor arrested by police after his wife was shot and killed in their southern california home. we'll tell you what police are telling us this morning. plus, workers cleaning up the massive mudslide in washington state suddenly walk off the job. we're going to tell you what has them so upset. nbc bay area honored with three national awards for excellence in breaking news coverage, feature reporting and public service and television journalism all from the society of professional journalists. nbc bay area, we investigate.

at 5:13, now to an exclusive investigative unit report. for more than a decade, parents have had no easy access to day

care records here in california. while states like florida and texas have had easy to use online systems to look at inspection history. to get that information here, you have to go to a local office. now, the nbc bay area unit has teamed up with the center for investigative reporting to make some of those records available with just a click of your mouse. for the first time, we've posted some of those state day care inspection documents online. all for you to see for yourself which day cares have trouble meeting the basic safety rules and regulations and some parents say it's about time. >> it's not like i completely give over my parenting to the state of california, absolutely not. i'm a parent. i'm going to be active, i'm going to look. will you make it so difficult for me to understand what's going on and how i should be looking at these day cares and these preschools. why is it so difficult? >> tonight investigative reporter steven stock and the rest of our team dig into those records to find one with a history of trouble complying

with the rules. we'll also show you how you can go online it's all tonight at 11:00 on nbc bay area news. if all goes as planned, not another court battle between apple and samsung. apple is interested in cutting a deal with samsung which would dismiss the lawsuits filed worldwide over patents. the most recent, of course, in a san jose court ordered samsung to pay apple almost $120 million for patent infringement. apple was told to pay just over $158,000 to samsung. insiders say a deal to stop the lawsuits filed in other world courts could happen as soon as this summer. a tough blow for microsoft, china's government announced it will not buy computers that will run windows eight. it did not explain why the chinese government is the biggest buyer of computer software in all of china, at least. so, the decision could have a huge impact on microsoft's bottom line. microsoft cut support of its windows xp operating system last

month and trying to push customers into windows 8. well, for a quick look at the markets, let's check in with seema mody this morning. good morning, seema. >> scott, good morning. futures slightly lower after all three indices closed higher and the nasdaq seen a nice gain after getting a boost from oracle and apple. including home depot and staples, so a lot of focus on the retail specter in general in today's trade. back over to you, scott. >> thank you, much. the fight over access to a beach just south of half moon bay now in the hands of a judge, but could be more than a month before we get a decision. lawyers for billionaire vinad khosla have filed their written statements to the judge. argues under the california coastal act coastal had no right to cut off public access to martins beach. his lawyers say an even older law gives him total control over his own property.

let's take you to live pictures right now. this is out of moscow, russia. this is what we were reporting on earlier. a train crash that has killed at least five people, apparently a cargo train had derailed and somehow ran into a passenger train. you are looking at live pictures beamed all the way from russia. we don't have a lot of information about what is going on. but we continue to monitor that and, again, in moscow, russia. about five people dead. >> looks like they're assessing the tracks and we'll keep tabs on that for you this morning. also, checking the forecast with meteorologist christina loren. >> one of those interesting weather days. we don't typically see thunderstorm activity in the state of california. a rare occurrence any time of year. if there is a time we see it more than any other season, it will be in the spring. getting the action on the radar and not in the bay area yet. we do stand a chance for isolated showers later on today.

temperatures too cool for it and temperatures mostly in the 50s and you can see that radar over the sierra nevada just lit up this morning. a lot of these lightning strikes have come in over the past two hours. so, it's getting more active. as the morning draws on and as that area of low pressure moves to the south. now, for us today, we're just going to see light shower activity for the first part of the day and then as we head throughout the evening hours, we bring in that chance for isolated thunderstorms by tomorrow morning that system is out of here and we start a warm up off shore flow. that's in the mix as we get into this weekend and it will bring our temperatures up just in time for memorial bay. comfortable conditions three to five degrees below seasonal averages. 64 degrees in san francisco and that cool air that is keeping our atmosphere here in the bay area nice and stable. we are going to see more instability as the day draws on. we stop that clock for you at 9:00 a.m. and you can see getting some action in the south bay at that point. just light activity. don't bring your umbrella with

you but keep in mind you need to use your windshield wipers. as we head throughout the day. 2:00 p.m. starting to clear out of here and isolated cells on the radar. look at this, very unusual to have snowfall coming down above 7,000 feet, but that's, in fact, what we are expecting as we head throughout the day today. now, by 7:00 p.m., we still keep these light cells in the mix and everything clears out of here overnight and we begin that warm up up to 85 degrees in the south bay by friday as we kick off a holiday weekend. let's check your drive, here's mike inouye. >> we're not expecting any holiday travel just yet. the heaviest volume for the week but looking ahead to the holiday weekend. the south bay moves very smoothly and slowing shows up for 87 and yesterday was a very tough drive for this portion of the south bay. so far, though, no big surprises there. southbound 17 we do see some slowing and down towards the summit, that's 35 here. that's summit road but the crash we reported blocking two lanes is on the northbound side and

chp arrived and monterey gives us that update and folks coming up from the santa cruz did not and the southbound is distracted but the lanes are open. that's a little better news for our commuters who are watching and heading south towards that side of the hill. the rest of your bay moves very smoothly and we prepare for a traffic break and we'll watch that and the reports, but no major slowing there and that shouldn't be a big issue. looking over here for the west 580. a stall at north flin in the backup here that is starting to form as folks are slowly driving over towards livermore and a typical pattern and the rest of your bay, very smooth. wind advisories for carquinez bridge and watch the richmond, san rafael bridge, as well. we have more traffic flow than yesterday and that's typical of a tuesday. we'll track it, but so far, no major slowing, back to you. >> thank you, mike. new this morning, actor best known for his role in "the shield" has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of his wife, april.

she was found dead inside the couple's los angeles home last night. again, michael jase under arrest. investigators say she was shot several times. there were children inside the home, as well, at the time. the 48-year-old actor was questioned by police overnight but was only arrested in the last couple of hours. dozens of workers who were hired to monitor the work in the oso landslide zone have walked off the job. workers claim rebuilding a buried highway is a higher priority than their safety. those who worked off are spotters, that means they carefully watch every inch of the escavation for any property or human remains. all local hires people who lost friends and family in the slide. they signed an agreement they wouldn't talk to the media but some placed anonymous calls to the nbc station in seattle. they claim they were ordered to work in unsafe conditions including during a recent lightning storm. the cleanup is about halfway done. >> we can't work without

spotters. so any time our spotters leave, we have to stop work. and then look to our own staff to bring in substitute spotters. >> the state required contractors to hire 30 local residents as spotters. now, the state is reassigning some of its trained employees to do the same job. it's 5:22. cleanup is scheduled to finish up today after thousands of fish mysteriously turned up dead at the california pier. the fish washed up over the weekend. while most are dead anchovies and some stingrays and an octopus was found, as well. the low oxygen levels in the water could have caused the fish to die suddenly. the die off is nothing compared to what happened in rodondo beach in 2011. millions of small fish swim under to a marina and used up all the oxygen and then died. >> must have been very smelly. time now 5:22.

the super bowl chachewl changes every year. why not the draft? the new efforts to take the draft on the road, next.

the nfl owners meet today and a couple of key issues on the table. today they'll decide the future site of super bowl lii in 2018. right now new orleans, minneapolis are the contenders. the owners will also talk about taking the draft on the road. the goal is to move the event to a different city every year, sort of like a mini super bowl. now, president obama made a surprise stop at a little league baseball game yesterday. some of the kids, though, were eager to continue to play. >> the president was on the way, actually, to a fund-raiser when he stopped to shake hands and pose for pictures with the players and the coaches. press secretary jay carney's

daughter was among the players so the president dropped carney off at the game and ended up throwing out the first pitch before he left. >> while the visit was exciting, some players felt it took too long. one child overheard saying, come on, daddy, let's play ball. let's check in with christina this morning. >> good morning. a good-looking day shaping up. you know, a lot of kids are headed out and about this afternoon. a lot of kids still playing baseball, little league happening and temperatures comfortab comfortable for now. and let's focus on for today. 56 degrees in the east bay and "today in the bay" is looking really interesting. here's the deal, temperatures in the low 70s in inland valleys and a chance for some thunderstorms out there as we head throughout the afternoon and the best chance over the higher elevations in the east bay and the south bay. here's the deal, once that system moves out, off shore flow really increases and we have a big-time warm up coming your way and we'll take you through your

change in forecast for your specific microclimate coming up. right now a traffic tuesday and get right over to mike inouey. >> looking at some of the beautiful clouds coming in and a smooth drive right now and starting to see a change in the commute and cash lanes have a few folks waiting and slowing north 880 around the bend and it is cleared in and we didn't have any problems on our live shots, that's better news. the maze moves clearly and so does the rest of your bay and just your slowing for 580 westbound. send it back to you. 5:27. the fight over pot club regulations picks back up. one year ago today a devastating tornado swept through moore, oklahoma, killing dozens of people. how that area is recovering coming up in a live report.

new video into our newsroom. a pair of cars destroyed overnight after a fire at a south bay home. investigators are calling it suspicious.

hundreds of bay area students show up to school only to find it closed. we'll tell you what we're learning today about the sudden shutdown that could cost students tens of thousands of dollars. we have kind of an interesting forecast shaping up for your tuesday. the chance for some thunderstorms and dry lightning strikes and then the heat is on. we will take you through your changing forecast in moments. so, potential for thunder tuesday. we know we have traffic tuesday and that heavier volume already developing in the south bay. i'll give you an update on that nearly full closure for highway 17. we like to take peeks outside throughout the bay area. what a beautiful look at the bay bridge as the sun is coming up, it's tuesday, may 20th. this is "today in the bay." and a very good tuesday morning to you. thanks so much for joining us, i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm scott mcgrew. one year ago today the city of moore, oklahoma, was devastated

by a massive, violent tornado. reduced two schools to rubble, destroyed dozens of homes in its path. 25 people died that day, including a number of school children. "today in the bay" sarah dollop is in moore where the community is slowly rebuilding and healing, good morning to you, sarah. >> good morning to you, scott. it has been a painful and difficult 12 months, but residents are making good on their promise to not only come back, but to come back stronger. a year later, the memories in moore, oklahoma, are as fresh -- >> stepped out of the house and seen a tornado about half mile away. >> reporter: as the day the ef-5 tornado tore a 17-mile-long path for the metropolitan area. >> i wouldn't wish it on my absolute worst enemy in the whole world. >> reporter: 25 were killed and more than 1,000 homes destroyed, including kim and marty schwab's place. they vow to rebuild and now weeks away from finishing their new home.

the sounds of construction are sounds of cranes, the moore city manager. he remembers the first resident to move back just months after the twister. >> we saw that happen, the very first one. i think some of us just about cried because we were so happy. >> reporter: perhaps one of the most emotionally difficult rebuilds, that of plaza towers elementary. 9-year-old christopher leg and six other students were killed there. like 60% of oklahoma schools, profit towedid not have a torna shelter. christopher's mom won't stop until there is one in every school in the state. >> it's not a matter of if another tornado is coming to oklahoma, again. it's a matter of when. >> reporter: painful lessons learned the past year. permits for residential storm shelters have dramatically increased. 8,600 since the tornado compared to just a few hundred the year before. scott and laura, back to you.

>> sarah, i know they have been implementing tougher building codes after this disaster. how is that going, how is the progress on that? >> the city council voted a couple weeks ago to vote in these stricter building codes. they now require all homes to be built to withstand winds of 135 miles per hour. that is the equivalent of an ef-3 tornado. obviously, it would not have helped if you were in the direct path of the tornado last year, but what officials are hoping is that it saved some homes and future tornadoes that are on the edges of that tornado. not getting hit by the direct force, but by those side winds. >> makes sense. thank you very much this morning. and we have an update now to breaking news in russia. investigators say a faulty track caused a cargo train to collide with a passenger train near moscow killing five and injuring 45. this is new video near the crash scene that was just into our newsroom. it is actually unclear what was wrong with the track, but we do

know several cars of the cargo train derailed and crashed into the passenger train. then a few of the passenger train cars went off the track. some even overturned. officials say 15 of the injured could possibly die. new video this morning of the damage left behind after a suspicious car fire in the south bay. two cars and part of a garage were damaged early this morning at a home on sand point drive in san jose, just about a block away from the east ridge mall. no one was hurt, although as you can see the cars are destroyed. no word on the cause, but investigators are calling it suspicious. dozens of students in the south bay will head back to school this morning, but they're not going to class. they hope to find out why their school suddenly shut down without warning. bryman college is a vocational school on winchester boulevard near the campbell border and specializes in medical and dental fields and tuition costs thousands of dollars. "today in the bay" bob redell live near that school.

some students left without any options. >> they are given how this went down. you can see the back of that green sign right there on the entrance of bryman college there. yesterday the santa clara county office posted those green signs in every single office and classroom door and what it says, the warning to people not to trespass. no trespassing sign and also without notice, students were told that the school was shutting down, some of these students were in the middle of class. >> we have no idea we're in computer class, guy came in, excused our teacher and came back in and she's like, you know what, guys, you're right. the school is being closed. >> and then they were told they had just an hour to pack up and leave. a locksmith arrived to change the locks on all 30 doors and would only tell us this was a landlord/tenant dispute. one of the signs reads eviction restoration notice. >> i had no idea. did they not pay their rent? did they not do something right?

why is it closing? >> that student whose name is amanda is hoping to get answers later this morning. our understanding that the students were told to come by at 10:00 and they will get an explanation to what happened. amanda who trained to be a medical assistant wonders if bryman college will be able to refund her some of her tuition. she spent $16,000 on this eight-month program and supposed to be graduating in two months. right now that clearly is on hold. she doesn't know if that will be restarted and that is a concern. we did reach out to bryman college and they had no comment. bryman college is owned by biohealth college. this location used to be everest college but bought out by bryman last year. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell "today in the bay." a memorial grew overnight at the scene of a deadly amtrak accident in san leandro. the police say 18-year-old brittany silva was wearing

earbud headphones when she was hit and killed by a train yesterday around dinnertime. a vigil last night silva's mother told us her daughter's life was just getting started. >> my daughter was a wonderful person. just beautiful. fun to ride roller coasters with. she had the whole world in the palm of her hand and she was getting ready to graduate this year. >> now, witnesses say they kid try to warn the girl that the train was coming but she didn't see them or hear them. another twist in a high-profile murder case a man accused of killing sierra lamar could face the death penalty. jeff rosen made that announcement yesterday. torres is accused of taking lamar as she was walking to school. lamar's father supports the district attorney's decision but some legal experts say the decision is risky, especially because there was no body or crime scene. investigators say the north bay mother accused of grabbing a

child by the neck for reportedly bullying her daughter might have actually targeted the wrong child. delia garcia-bratcher faces charges after she stormed on the campus, grabbed the throat of a boy she thought had been bullying her daughter, but now sonoma county officials say there is no evidence that that particular boy bullying garcia bratcher's daughter. she is expected to face a judge on thursday. san jose city council might vote on the way medical marijuana clubs operate. more than 100 pot clubs operating in the city right now. today the city council will discuss proposed zoning and regulations for those dispensaries. some of the changes possibly include cutting down the number of pot clubs to 20 and increasing the distance between the clubs and schools. let's check win meteorologist christina loren this morning at 5:38. good morning. >> good hey, good morning to

you. interesting day in the weather department than changes to come right after. a big-time warm up after we get some thunderstorms for today. so, let's start by taking a live look here at emeryville. overcast sky there. temperatures this morning are comfortable. kind of chilly out there, in fact. up in santa rosa and 57 degrees in san francisco and you will notice rather muggy out there and we're going to see plenty of clouds, just like this as we head throughout the day today. san francisco right now starting to see those clouds increase and you're going to be headed out and about this tuesday. this is what you can expect. breezy to overcast to start the day at the coast, but we're only partly cloudy through your inland valleys and then a mix of sun and clouds by the evening hours. yep, isolated thunder over the hills in the east bay. you stand the best chance of that. i'll show you on a map what we're looking at in my next report. stick around for that. lingering evening clouds and sunsets at 8:09 and pretty out there and then we start up the warming trend. for today, enjoy 72 degrees and

coolest day in the extended period and 71 degrees for the peninsula and 64 in san francisco and 75 degrees in the north bay. we'll take a closer look at that thunderstorm chance plus how hot it will get in your city for memorial day coming up in just a bit. right now, let's check your drive. you know what, it's busy out there on a traffic tuesday, mike. >> is it? christina's right. good stuff. we got each other's back. it is starting to pick up the volume and that's where you see above san jose just above our camera shot a little more slowing because of traffic volume. typical pattern for a tuesday and take you to the santa cruz mountains and the northbound side reflecting a crash and blocking a couple of lanes we only have a couple northbound 17 just north of summit road, highway 35 marked on your map there, as well. i don't have any progress reported but traffic still flowing through the area and still get by on the shoulder and another crash in the backup, so, watch for that. sounds like a deer was hit already a little earlier and that is another concern.

north of the santa cruz mountain and we saw san jose and slowing out of the altamont pass and on the shoulder but enough of a distraction to hold folks up. livermore and dublin just showing speeds coming down just below 60. not so bad and the rest of the east bay moves smoothly and 880 approaching the toll plaza and that has cleared up and you're at speed and a live look will show you traffic flows through the area very nicely, as well. north past the coliseum and over into the toll plaza itself where the cash lanes are backing up and the fastrak lanes are moving very smoothly. new details about go pro ipo plans. now hiring, walmart is adding hundreds of jobs in the south bay as it continues to expand its e-commerce division.

welcome back. go pro is going public a san emateo action-based company. they hope to raise $100 million but that amount is likely to change as banks managing the deal gauge investor interest. so far no word on how much the shares will cost or how many shares the company plans to sell. we do know it will trade on the nasdaq. the ticker symbol will be gpro. go pro makes the small, durable cameras that are mounted on the helmets of skiers and handlebars of bikers and surf boards and you name it. just under $1 billion last year. walmart says it plans to hire 500 workers in sunnyvale. the new tech jobs part of an expansion into the company's digital operations. walmart's e-commerce unit has

released a deal more than 100,000 square feet and neighbors living along san francisco's lombard street may see fewer cars pretty soon. >> because city leaders are considering a plan to temporarily close off that popular tourist spot from outside vehicle traffic. "today in the bay" christie smith joins us by the most crooked street in the world. did you just walk down or are you planning on walking up this morning? >> well, we'll say i walked down because i'm not panting right now. but i tell you, you know, if you wanted to drive lombard street now would be the time. we've been here for an hour and we have only seen three cars go down. i was checking on trip adviser this morning and a great tourist spot, but as one tourist pointed out, you have to sit in a cue sometimes for five blocks just waiting for your turn to go down. in the summertime.

that's what neighbors are talking about. hundreds of thousands of cars drive this crooked street each year clog would tourists, exhaust from cars, people hanging out of their windows and snapping selfies. transportation agency will consider an experimental, temporary shut down of crooked part of lombard streets and the fourth of july which happens to fall on a friday this year. mta to address things like safety concerns for drivers and neighbors and people on foot because it gets so crowded. tourists, as you can imagine, not too happy. they love it, they like the view of the bay bridge and they say when they come here part of the san francisco experience. mta could decide to expand these closures, but no matter what you'll always be able to walk it no matter what they decide to do. before we go, i want to show you the view. little bit of fog out there. depending where you are on the

street, it's absolutely beautiful. you understand why people want to do it, but also neighbors here and they have their concern. three cars and as we're going by, a fourth. one more going down right now. but overall this is pretty good time to see it. reporting live in san francisco. christie smith, "today in the bay." >> they didn't want to see the street, they wanted to see you, christie. >> always fun when you're visiting a city get up super early because you have the whole place to yourself and something fun about that. >> i like early mornings, which is a good thing. >> obviously. >> christina joins us, as well, up early to give you the forecast. >> weather is on our side whether you like the mornings or not. it is going to be easy on you getting to work and might be difficult getting home from work tonight with some thunderstorms in the forecast and also we are going to see some pretty strong wind just like we did yesterday. so, same deal for today. weather system coming in, creating instability and we're starting out with overcast skies just about everywhere at this point. clouds are increasing and still have partly cloudy conditions

throughout most of your inland valleys and right now in the mid-50s in the south bay and the peninsula, as well. upper 50s for san francisco and 48 degrees to kick off the day. in the north bay, so, i do want to show you what's happening way to our east. over the sierra nevada you can see all the real-time lightning strikes and basically i wanted to show you that to give you an idea that the atmosphere is unstable, although we're only getting light showers here over the santa cruz mountains, nothing heavy. just keep in mind we do have this unstable air mass overhead today and it's kind of muggy and kind of subtropical feeling and you can see the clouds really increasing at this point and breezy conditions at the immediate coast. want to show you san jose and little bit of mountain thunder here and as we head throughout afternoon hours even better chance through your east bay hills and temperatures today, just spectacular. no ac necessary. let mother nature do it for you. 64 for san francisco and 74 degrees in wine country and comfortable conditions and want to show you your futurecast because we'll keep the active

atmosphere going throughout the day today and for the most part it is going to be a south bay and east bay event. mostly dry conditions today at the immediate coast. by 7:00 p.m., we might get a little bit of activity, but not expecting much and then the climb is on. as we get into your holiday weekend we're talking about mid-80s by friday. not too hot. no 90s, just right for memorial day weekend. >> like goldie locks temperatures. just right. looking over here to the bay area. nothing unusual about the traffic flow right now. call out a couple things we're watching, though, the slowest spot for the bay, west 580 out of the altamont pass and the earlier disabled vehicle. even though it was reportedly moved to the shoulder a long time ago, look at that the pattern and all jammed up and clearly a distraction and that's providing some benefit for the folks through livermore and dublin where west 580 starts to show a little slowing now because of that volume and even though it is moving smoothly around 55 miles per hour and look at the volume of traffic through our live camera through

dublin. this traffic flow is starting to slow a bit visibly past the area and you will have that slowing at the dublin interchange over the next few. now, back to the maps we're showing you the traffic flow, as well, through the south bay and northbound side of 101. the heaviest volume and burst kicking in and then kick in again in about half an hour. 87 showing a typical pattern and that is good news. yesterday was very tough. from los gatos slowed a little bit because on the northbound side still a crash going on but the southbound lanes are clear heading towards santa cruz. across the bay, the dumbarton and that's why you see a little flowing and no incidents and no problems getting to the peninsula where 101 and 280 move very smoothly, as well. watch the wind around the carquinez and benicia bridges and travel out of the north bay into the city and there you go. we have an incident 101 at 80 coming off the bay bridge and i'll give you the update coming up, back to you. oscar pistorius from the

courtroom this afternoon as he begins a psychiatric evaluation. a judge issued that ruling earlier today and postponed court proceedings until the end of june. pistorius treated as an outpatient and he'll leave the facility at the end of every day. evaluation should last no longer than 30 days and be completed as soon as a panel of mental health experts finish. 5:51. satellite data used in the search for the missing malaysian airlines plane could be made public soon. malaysia announced it will release that data after outcry from some of the families of the passengers. the families want to use raw data to conduct independent analysis. calculations using specific data show the plane ended up in the indian ocean after it vanished in march while flying from kuala lumpur to beijing. here in california not a matt matter of if, but when we're hit by a major earthquake.

we know there is one coming and the bay area may be in more than just the big one. after years of digging into faults around the bay area, scientists have managed to look back 400 years and identify a pattern. they say between 1690 and 1776 many more earthquakes shook the region and relieved stress that had built up in the fault line. now, scientists think the pattern will repeat and say we're in for a series of big earthquakes instead of one single event. >> stress is coming in and it has to come back out. it comes back out as movement on the different faults. >> most of the quakes in the clusters studied in the 17th and 18th centuries were between magnitude 7.6 and 7.8. the south bay preteen about to make history. this is cool. stick around for this one. she is debuting on golf's biggest stage.
