trying to save his young daughter's life. now questions are emerging about pool safety. "today in the bay's" bob redell joining us live in burlingame. a tragedy, bob. what can we learn from this? good morning. >> reporter: good morning. people who know the tremel family have been leaving flowers on the doorstep of their door here in burlingame out of sympathy for jim tremel, a 43-year-old tech exec who was electrocuted easter sunday in the pool at the family's vacation home in palm springs. he jumped in the pool to save his 9-year-old daughter, who was experiencing electrical shocks and turning blue. she was taken to the hospital, last report was in critical condition. tremel, unfortunately, didn't survive the electrical current. law enforcement in palm springs believes faulty wiring, possibly to the pool light, might be to blame. tremel was a former exec at facebook and most recently the bp of sales for revjet in san carlos. >> he was always really nice, good to the kids.

you could always see him jumping on the trampoline back here and yelling to my dog. especially to hear about the oldest daughter. i hope she's going to pull through and be okay. >> an adult woman and four other children were also in the pool at the time. one of those woman was taken to the hospital in stable condition. the others treated and released. it's believed they survived because they weren't as close to the faulty wiring. according to the consumer product safety commission, 14 people died inside of a pool, being electrocuted inside of a pool between '03 and 2014. the consumer product safety commission and the red cross recommend electrical inspections, especially if you have an older pool. reporting live here in burlingame, bob redell, "today in the bay". >> thank you very much, bob. 4:33 now. a suspected car thief is suing alameda county's sheriff's department. attorneys for stanislav petrov say that the force deputies used was excessive during his arrest

starting around 7:20, there were at least ten earthquakes, all centered in the alu rock area of east san jose. the largest was 3.1. the usgs says swarms are not unusual for this area, as those of us who live in the south bay can attest. there was a quake swarm a few miles north of santa rosa. in all, there have been 40 small quakes in just the last four hours. >> and you didn't feel any of those? >> i didn't feel it, but we got the nbc bay area alert. so that woke me up. >> a lot of people not clinging to their beds from the earthquake, but because they didn't want to get out of bed. >> it was so cold, kari! >> another cold morning. it makes it hard to get the day started, but once you step out the door, that will instantly wake you up, once you feel ow chilly it is. it's 41 in livermore. pa little bit milder in the north bay this morning, because we've seen some clouds rolling in. and that will kind of act as a blanket and keep those temperatures from plummeting into the mid-30s, like we had

yesterday. we're looking at highs the today up to 71 degrees in los gatos. and burlingame, 66. 63 in burrno heights. napa, up to 70. and antioch today, 71. we'll take a look at the rest of the forecast and into the weekend adds well as this dry weather continues. let's get an update on the roads. >> things moving without a problem. i want to show you the dublin area. yesterday we had some accidents pile up here around 6:30, 7:00. nothing really happening now. traffic moving without a problem, pretty good on this wednesday. let's switch over to the maps, we have some overnight construction wrapping up along 680. a few lanes restricted, same thing for the east bay over near oakland. south bay no problem, lots of green, green means go. >> thank you, anthony. coming up next, a new housing development coming toing los gatos, but not everybody is

so that may keep us from getting some frost. as we go hour-by-hour, we're looking throughout the day in berkeley. a few clouds this morning, and then all of that clears out for some sunshine by 11:00. and into the lower 60s today. we may have some spots hitting the upper 60s and low 70s this afternoon. like los gatos, 71 degrees. 66 in burlingame and the financial district at 61 degrees. so, it will be a touch warmer in a few spots. and of course, we can hold back the windy conditions. and more clouds will mix in, as we go, at least into the first part of the day. but then, here's a look at the temperature trend in dublin. the average high is 66 degrees. but we're up to 71 degrees for tomorrow. 72 degrees on friday, and then saturday, looks like the warmest day, before those temperatures start to come back down, a couple of degrees. here's part of the reason why. we will have a few more clouds mixing in, by the end of the weekend. so a little bit more cloud cover on sunday, out ahead of this.

a chance of rain that could be moving in by monday afternoon. as of now, it looks like it could have at least a measurable amount of rain in parts of the bay area. and this is what the models are showing. the potential that at least a quarter of an inch, maybe closer to a half of an inch in the north bay, which would definitely be some great news, as we head into the start of april. may have a little bit more wet weather working into the bay area. and next week is looking a little bit chilly, at least to start. let's see what's happening on the san mateo bridge now with anthony. >> hey, everyone, from the chp, we have an actual report to say there's something on the shoulder. they're not really sure what it is. it's a stall, some debris in the roadway. but coming over the high-rise, on the westbound side, getting down into foster city, keep that in mind if that's your route. not sure when that will be cleared, but something is in the roadway according to chp on the shoulder, coming on westbound 92. let's switch over to the maps and show you what i'm talking about. there is the incident i'm reporting near san mateo. once you get into the city,

though, or over to the peninsula, things are pretty good. and a little overnight work wrapping up in the tri-valley. that's what's going on right now. guys, back to you. >> let's get you updated on a major story from yesterday. new this morning, the first court appearance for a man who hijacked an egypt air jet plane and briefly took hostages. this is video of seif eldine mustafa being transported. prosecutors called the suspect psychologically unstable. authorities say he wore a fake explosive belt and did it in an effort to see his ex-wife. >> more on this story. some calling this a bit of levity in a very serious situation. others are calling it just not right. one passenger onboard that hijacked plane, britain's ben ines posed for a selfie with the hijacker during the standoff. authorities say he unnecessarily put ines at risk.

others say he really should not follow his lead. the three remaining gop presidential candidates are changing their tune when it comes to supporting the party's future nominee. all three took part in a town hall in wisconsin last night. donald trump, ted cruz, john kasich, all declining to say they would unquestionably support the candidate who was picked as the republican nominee. the front-runner, donald trump, spent much of the night defending his campaign manager, who now faces battery charges after pulling a reporter away from donald trump. we turn to some business news now. apple is giving major league baseball teams a new tool that's going to help out the managers. >> for that and the rest of the news before the bell, we turn to landon dowdy live at cnbc world headquarters where even there there's baseball on the brain, landon. >> we've always got to have a little sports in business. good morning to you. futures are higher this morning. expect early losses after fed
