brief downpour or two which moved through but notice the difference not that far away. sunnyvale not that far, under .05 inch of rain and silver creek valley, nothing. so widely scattered. and some of the east bay rain totals, danville a quarter inch, dublin not so much. so hit and miss with these isolated showers which could drop briefly, good downpours, most of the action on the radar moved to the east. north bay starting to clear out for the sierra still snow showers occurring around lake tahoe. tomorrow some clearing and cool start. you would not expect to see that in may. upper 20s to start tomorrow morning for parts of the sierra. the bay area a few more scattered showers for tomorrow morning, and possibly into the afternoon for the south bay hills and around the north bay. not much change from what we saw today with highs in the mid-60s across most of the bay area. there is still that chance around the east bay and south bay to see a few more showers

briefly wetting the ground for your sunday. the breeze is strongly on shore. we'll see temperatures in the 50s and 60s out on the coast. during the day tomorrow. so a cool day, if you are going to head to the shore for tomorrow, upper 60s around san jose, near 60 in san francisco, with 60s and 70s from the north bay over to the tri-valley, for the end of the weekend and the start of next week. also looks fairly cool. another area of low pressure is going to drop in which is going to reinforce the cooler than average temperatures so you see san francisco not changing a lot. but more interesting are the numbers for san jose and the tri-valley. should see mid 70s, thursday into friday might get closer to seeing the numbers and you can see dublin, temperatures below average for the first half of the week. in fact as we head into next weekend, the start of memorial day weekend, temperatures staying below average. as we head to sunday and memorial day, now we're going to 8 to 9 days out, to see 70s and 80s back in the forecast. so the cool pattern is going to last through the weekend, likely

for most of next week. not until the end of next weekend we'll see 70s and 80s back in the forecast. back to you. >> feel like booing. >> any raindrop we get we'll take. sooner or later it's going to get hot. a major comeback for a bay area beach volleyball star. >> exciting news. some are concerned that kerri walsh-jennings would not get to the olympics in rio, that is until today. our investigative unit has

restaurant owners. that may now be hurting restaurant customers. dining out in san francisco is more than just gluten free menus and hard to get reservations. it's also a hobby, a weekly one for foodie tommy, he enjoys strolling through the city to find his next favorite spot. there was one restaurant that still leaves him with a bad taste in his mouth. >> if this can happen to me it can to anybody. >> he stopped by the all season restaurant in the diamond heights neighborhood. it wasn't long before he lost his appetite. he says it started with a pot of tea. >> drink cups, then i see a little thing moving in there. it's a little small -- >>tommy's story echoes what health inspectors caught on camera at the restaurant time and time again. records reveal repeated high risk violations, and unsanitary

conditions including at least four cockroach investtations. they found them on top of what were supposed to be clean utensils and plates. violation records we obtained show the city ordered the restaurant at this location to shut down at least seven times in just three years. >> why would the city allow to the keep reopening? >> because it is a due process. we have a process they have to go through. >> stephanie had san francisco's department of environmental health which oversees inspections for 7400 permanent restaurants and caterers in san francisco. the city only has 30 field inspectors. curbing says if a restaurant is forced to close because of health violations her team requires employees at the restaurant to undergo training and make visible improvements to reopen. >> we are trying to break that cycle with them. >> you may be trying. it doesn't seem to be working. >> again we have to go through the process, build the case.

this place may be close again. >> our investigation led us to a bigger discovery. a little known loophole that allows restaurants across san francisco to wipe clean some of their dirtiest secrets. city's website consumers can look up a restaurant's inspection history. but we discovered those violation records can essentially be removed so you can't see them on line. take all season restaurant. that's long been the name on the sign, the restaurant changed its name on city documents to harbor villa more than a year ago and ownership also changed on city paperwork. by law the city says that change in ownership requires that a restaurant's old inspection records be removed from the city's website. in 2014, the restaurant listed brand new owner. but those owners still worked for the same corporation. and last year there was new ownership again. this time the corporation name did change from sd chew

incorporated to sc lang. the two officers of the corporation stayed exactly the same. >> if the city knew it's the same people running that restaurant, why would it allow it to be able to wipe away their history of violation. >> if i owned a restaurant and you bought it, should my poor history follow you? >> but these aren't different owners. >> but the incorporation is different. >> wouldn't you want to know if you were to eat at a restaurant considered so dirty the city was forced to shut it down? >> i think the majority of people in san francisco don't think about those things. >> the city's website says the restaurant was only forced to close twice instead of seven times. but to find those violations you have to search for harbor villa, even though the own sign says all season, that name doesn't even exist anymore on the city's data base.

the restaurant's current owners did not want to comment on our story. >> do you have any idea how many other restaurants may be taking advantage of this loophole? >> many restaurants do. >> we showed our findings to san francisco's supervisor jane kim who chairs the board's committee on public safety. >> since nbc has alerted us to this loophole our office is going to work with the department of public health to create more specific rules. you shouldn't be able to wipe them out paying a couple hundred in fees to change your company name. >> but for now it remains a loophole one that tommy believes is pretty hard to swallow. >> i'm getting worried. i mean, if one can do that, who knows how many more can be like that. >> according to the city, you can still get the last five years worth of violation records for any restaurant, regardless of ownership changes, by submitting a public records request to city government. that of course can take days.

a much easier process would be to simply check the city's website, but if the restaurant changed owners that online record gets erased. guys, back to you. >> you have a tip for our unit, 1-888-996-tips, you can send us e-mail to the unit at nbcbayarea.com. the sharks two wins away from the first ever trip to the stanley cup had a detour. >> yes, all the momentum as they look to take a commanding 3-1 lead over the blues, instead the sharks and their fans left the center with the blues. the western conference finals, charged two games to one, jones had not allowed a goal in over 115 minutes, that was snapped, st. louis pounced on san jose early scoring two goals over

four minutes apart. then in the second, kyle brodziak netted two goals and jones would get pulled after that. the sharks score three late goals but too little too late. the blues win 6-3 and even the series at two games apiece. here is martin jones after the loss. >> you know what, we just we didn't execute as well as we had to in the first period. and period and a half. they are a good team. special teams probably different. >> we knew that they weren't going to sit back. game four you know. there's a lot out there still. we weren't as sharp as we could have been early i think. we created a few chances. we don't get enough off it. we need to be sharper. >> we weren't ourselves early. when you give a good team a 2-0 lead you give up a short handed goal that's pretty much it. >> that's it for sports. back to you guys.
