i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. they got to the finals last year. >> did they? >> maybe this time. all right, maybe we should keep our umbrellas hapdy, kari. >> you will see the light rain off and on for most of the day. and then we'll see the heavier downpours later on this evening. but not until then will we have the measurable rain. as we get a live look outside at san jose. roads are still all dry here, but as you drive farther north, up close to oakland and san francisco, you have some mist coming down. so that may create some slick spots on the road. as you head out the door in willow glen, at 8:00, 58 degrees. and rising into the low 60s by lunchtime. as you get ready to drive home, still going to see some cloudy skies and then the rain comes down. we'll talk about the timeline coming up. mike is already tracking a crash near the tunnel. >> and kari, that's also an area where we have see mist on the live cameras, but not enough to trigger the road weather index for most of the sensors around the bay.

we're looking at sensors that are green, but no green highlighting. slick roadways and a crash, west 24 at fish ranch road, just outside the tunnel. reports of a single car that spun out near the center divide. that may be an issue coming into the maze. no slowing there at the scene and no slower toward the bay bridge, but watch the slick roadways. there are your travel times for the east shore. >> thank you very much. new this morning, now to a story we first broke 30 minutes ago when we came on air. a san jose police officer rescued after crashing into this big rig overnight in the tri-valley. >> our team has been working the phones to get information on this story all morning long. let's check in live now with bob redell to tell us how that officer was saved. >> reporter: well, good morning to you, laura and sam. what's remarkable about this story is within the past 50 minutes, that off-duty san jose police officer was able to walk out on his own from the emergency room at the eden medical center in castro valley.

considering the circumstances of the accident he was in last night, he is very lucky to be alive. this happened around midnight last night in livermore. this officer was on his way home from work when he crashed his personal suv into the back of a big rig that was stopped in a construction zone. this is on eastbound highway 84 in livermore near ruby hill. the off-duty officer became trapped in his suv while his vehicle caught fire. now, just so happens there were two chp officers nearby who were working that construction zone. one of them used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire while the other called the fire department to have the officer removed from the wreckage. he was transported to eden medical center where a medical officer was dispatched to assist and show support for his colleague. that officer was released just about 50 minutes ago and is going to be okay. reporting live here in castro valley, bob redell, today in the bay. >> thanks for the latest there, bob. a developing story this

morning. german authorities investigating a bus bombing that hurt a soccer player and canceled a champions league match. the soccer club was supposed to play monaco yesterday when three explosions struck their bus. one player was hurt but his injuries are not considered life threatening. a note found at the scene claims responsibility. still no word this morning on what caused a fire at this financial district building in san francisco last night. 60 people were forced out of their homes. started un9:00 last night in the basement of a three-story building on clay street. no one was hurt. well, a lot of people love in-n-out, but double double could be spelling trouble trouble when developers are looking to open up a new location. walnut creek being the latest battle ground for this. that's where preliminary applications were files for a new in-n-outs and starbucks. the fast food chain is a victim of its own success because neighbors there are worried about a potential spike in traffic, noise, and pollution. >> there's an element of danger that the community is exposed to

when you push traffic for such a cult following favorite like in-n-out in a residential neighborhood. >> the city's economic development commission is talking about holding a series of hearings on that this summer. pass the ketchup because books for the next few weeks are not going to provide the only boost for children at a library. they're launching an after-school meal program for students under the age of 18. meals will be served monday through wednesday 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. through june 7th. activities are also offered at the same time, and the program is supposed to be like a lunch at the library summer program meant to provide children with better nutrition. >> today is the last day people can apply for grants in the alameda county clean water program. the community stewardship grant is the project aimed at preventing storm water pollution. the grant money ranges from $1,000 to $5,000. >> where's the bus? kaubt raw costa transit district

may cut out supplementary bus services for three schools. this is what would be impacted. it would affect students at montara middle school, skyline high school, and community day school. the cuts would impact nearly 700 students in the morning and more than 900 in the afternoon. >> we were talking about this at the top of the show. they're loaded with talent but a little injured right now. the san jose sharks hit the ice for the first round of the nhl playoffs. no surprise here. they have known for days they'll be facing off against the oilers in the first round. this series starts in alberta, canada. the first two games will be played there. then the sharks return back home to s.a.p. center for game three on the 16th. the last time they met in the playoffs is back in 2006. >> it is 5:05 on this wednesday morning, and we are going to see wet weather moving into the bay area. especially later on this afternoon, but as of right now, we have moisture rolling in

ahead of this storm system that will bring in some sprinkles as we go through the day. mostly cloudy skies, though, and we're even going to see some of that moisture rolling in. could drop some raindrops across parts of the peninsula as we go through the morning and early afternoon. here we are at 11:00, cloudy skies and a little rain on the radar. if you have the nbc bay area app, you can always get a look at where the rain is falling and see if it's heading in your direction. we will definitely start to see that rain tracking from north to south as we go into this evening, and by 8:30, we'll see it moving into san francisco, into napa as well. and then into the east bay later on tonight. some gusty winds also picking up as this line of showers moves into the south bay by 11:00 tonight. early tomorrow morning, still some lingering showers across the bay. if you are planning to head to the sierra over the next couple days, you don't want to miss the forecast. we're going to see some major changes there. i'll talk about it coming up in about four minutes. heading over to mike, tracking a

crash in arinda. >> the crash did clear for highway 24. a little slowing for a couple minutes if you're passing by fish ranch road. but those roadways are clear. maybe slick as they're seeing a lot of mist and drizzle. we're looking over toward the peninsula. this is a new crash we're tracking. southbound highway 101 at poplar just south of the airport. there's coyote point as a reference. a lot of slowing as crews arrive on scene. it does sound like one lane is currently blocked. a lot of activity in the last five minutes. we'll track that as well. get you over to the transit system. a smooth easy drive. no delays. including b.a.r.t., those rails, it may slow them down if the rails prove to be slicker than they like. they tend to do that for increased stopping distances. and toward the bay bridge toll plaza, you see the reason for better traction is because we have that rain on the roadways so there will be slipperiness around the bay. back to you. >> thank you. coming up next, secretary of state rex tillerson did meet

with his russian counterpart. syria at the top of the agenda. a live report on their meeting coming up next. plus, united airlines tries, tries again. ahead in business and tech. how about some mc hammer to get the team pumped up? that's what this san jose state football coach did, and the reason why his moves are so easy for him. we'll explain his connection to the '90s rap star coming up next.

official at a critical time in the degrading u.s./russian relations. the biggest topic on the table -- syria. >> it is important for us to understand your intentions, intentions of the u.s. and the real intentions of this administration. we hope that we can clear up today. >> welcome. >> our meetings today come at an moment in the relationship. so that we can further clarify areas of common objectives, common interest even when our tactical approaches may be different. >> president donald trump told the fox business net the pictures of the chemical attack victims moved him to act. >> putin is backing a person that's truly an evil person. and i think it's very bad for russia. >> newly declassified intelligence shows sarin gas was used, delivered by syrian aircraft under bashar al assad's control. ahead of today's meeting, the

secretary of state used some harsh language concerning a 2013 russian agreement to remove chemical weapons from syria. >> it is unclear whether russia failed to take this obligation seriously or russia has been incompetent. >> the meeting with lavrov is scheduled to last one day. and it's customary for the russian president to meet the secretary of state on his first visit to moscow. at the moment, the kremlin is saying it's possible. it's a possibility it will happen. there's no plans for it on the books as of yet. still, the kremlin playing that cat and mouse game. this is spng that the u.s. is waiting for and looking forward to. we'll have to wait and see if it happens. reporting live in washington, edward lawrence. >> thank you very much, edward. >> in the meantime, back here at home, the story that continues to unravel. first, if you don't apologize, try, try again. >> just like a good marriage. scott mcgrew, the embattled united airlines ceo taking a second crack at saying sorry.

>> second crack. good morning. i have no doubt oscar munoz is going to be in business school textbooks. a textbook example of what not to be in a crisis, but he is trying to make it better. this comes as the world reacts to the violent removal of a kentucky man from a united flielt out of chicago. this video has been watched millions of times. he issued a second statement yesterday saying, i deeply apologize to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard. no one should ever be mistreated this way. that is the big change from the ceo first apology when he said the customer had been, quote, reaccommodated. that was not video of somebody being reaccommodated. united has also withdrawn an earlier claim the flight was overbooked. the airline said it wanted the seats for an outbound crew. >> shares of their holdings fell a little more than 1% yesterday.

if you dive down into the num r numbers in the reports, it was partly because of predictions united was making about future sales ahead of the debacle. the debacle did not help. the total loss to united yerwas $255 million. earlier in the day, it was worse. several people on twitter joking, if the airline had offered a $225 million voucher to passenger, they would have saved money. >> inmates at a jail in ohio built a computer and wired it to the prison's internet using cabling in the ceiling. apparently, the guards were seeing nothing. they saw nothing. the inmates used it -- i kid you not, to print security passes to get farther into the prison and then they committed tax fraud, this according to the ohio inspector general. >> who was smuggling in the

there was bubbling between the planks. it's right there in the picture on the right-hand side, just a little there. if you look closely, you'll see it. she said she asked lumber liquidators to fix that too and the company said no again. insisting nothing was wrong with the product it had installed. she shared her story with us. we contacted lumber liquidators and it repeated its stangs. nothing is wrong with the product. and the staining and bubbling were caused by surface moisture, like using water to clean the floors. now, that's not covered under the warranty. she did share with lumber liquidators that she used water to clean the floors, but ultimately, the back and forth did stop. the company agreed to refund her the cost of the floors, $2700. in a statement, lumber liquidators told them the decision is based on the fact the communications could have been better. after all this, she succeeded on her own to get them to refund the cost of her labor, too. if you have a consumer complaint, let us know.
