trend this weekend. a renowned rock climber from the east bay is recovering in the hospital after falling on yosemite's el capitan. hans florine had been climbing for more than seven hours thursday afternoon. he was about 2,300 feet high when he fell. he fell about 25 feet on the rock face before his harness and ropes caught him. it happened too late in the day to rescue him, though, so he had to spend the night on the rock. >> the initial injury can be bad, but not getting treatment immediately can be what's really detrimental. >> florine broke bones in his left ankle and his right heel. a self-driving minivan belonging to waymo was involved in a crash in arizona. it happened yesterday in a suburb of phoenix. investigators say a car swerved across the median and hit the minivan. the driver of the minivan was hurt but is expected to be okay. this is the second self-driving car crash in the phoenix area in

it's a little breezy too in san francisco right now. this is a nice shot of the golden gate bridge. it really shows off just about that gloomy feeling. i find it very calming, especially for a nice saturday morning, to see just how breezy and cool the temperatures will be heading into the afternoon. so let's talk about your current temperatures right now as you're waking up this morning. good morning. how's your coffee going? let me know if you're drinking coffee or tea and which one you prefer. i'm personally a coffee drinker. san francisco, 53 degrees, palo alto, 54, and concord at about 56 degrees so the temperature so far, it's not too cold. i would say just on the cooler side as we wake up this morning. check out doppler radar right now. you can actually see those high clouds building over the bay area and this is ahead of an approaching trough and that trough is only going to kind of strengthen that marine layer in a nice flow and that's going to bring a chance of some drizzle along the coastline for san francisco through tonight and into tomorrow morning, so don't be surprised if you wake up if you live on the coastline and you see some light drizzle on

your windshield in the morning. now, san francisco and even along the peninsula, there will be climbing into those upper 60s but we're going to be a couple of degrees on the cooler side of what we've seen so far. the reason for that is that cloud cover. by about 11:00 a.m., san jose will be at 66 degrees and eventually we will climb nicely into the 70s but if you notice with the icons, the temperatures will remain in the upper 60s and 70s but look at the icon. we're expecting that cloud cover to linger all today long. so, let's talk about your daytime highs, because as i mentioned, they are going to be running a little bit cooler, but we're going to notice some more significant drop in those temperatures through tomorrow. that's because of that approaching trough that's coming into play so let's check out your daytime highs. san jose, a high of about 74, milpitas, 70 degrees and in the east bay, oakland, 64 degrees so it's going to be a nice variation, some spots like antioch will come into the upper 70s and we may even see an 80 or two in areas like concord and antioch so we'll keep an eye on

that daly city, 58 degrees and for the north bay, upper 60s for santa rosa, 69. little bit cooler at about 56 degrees. if you're heading to the cinco de mayo festival in san francisco, hey, look at this. a temperatures not to too bad. we're going to keep that cloud cover. i would take a nice light jacket although if you're going to be sipping on margaritas i think you'll be okay. don't get caught off guard. here's a look at what you can expect. 60 degrees is our high for today. as we head into sunday, the temperatures do begin to drop but not just for san francisco but also inland areas. tomorrow, our daytime highs only climbing into the low 70s so not too bad out there. cinco de mayo today so let's see how many people send me their photos of what they're doing for today. i'll sent it back to you. >> cinco de mayo and the kentucky derby. a lot going on. >> big day. >> thanks. it is 7:20. still ahead on "today in the bay," a tight knit neighborhood

deadly, north bay wildfire it has been a little more than six months since the devastating and deadly north bay fires. the road to recovery will stretch many more months if not years, but one group of neighbors now separated after their homes burned down is making sure their bond stays strong as they wait to rebuild. "today in the bay's" garvin thomas has their story in this morning's "bay area proud." >> reporter: when you look at coffey park today, it of course looks nothing like it did before the fires. but for all the loss that people suffered, there are lessons gained. like understanding a neighborhood is not just made up of houses. it's made up of people. >> the fire jumped the freeway. >> reporter: of all the things scott wise lost the night of the

north bay fires -- >> and then it came this way and then went that way. >> reporter: his sense of humor was not one. you see, these days, scott likes to lovingly refer to hennessy place, his coffey park street, as the flats. because it is, he says. but the night of the fire, there was something else scott was afraid he was going to lose, his sense of community. one he and the tight group of neighbors had built over decades. as scott took one last look before leaving, he feared their connection, just like everything else on this street, might be turning to ash. >> yeah. >> reporter: but if that was going to happen, scott decided, it wouldn't go down without a fight. >> we lived on the street for almost 30 years, and we've done a lot of life together. >> reporter: which is why when

it came time to celebrate his wife april's birthday this week, scott didn't reserve a table or a room at a restaurant. instead, he set up for a party right in the middle of their old cul-de-sac and invited all the old neighbors to return. >> we have a sense of community that i hate to say it but a lot of people don't, and we work hard at it. it's a little more work now, yeah, so we'll be back. ♪ happy birthday to you >> reporter: april's birthday is not the first time they've gotten together either. the gang got together on new year's day and easter too. they sit in beach chairs around folding tables, sharing news of when more permanent structures might be finished and how their lives are changing in the meantime. scott says if there's one thing this whole ordeal has taught him, it's not to hold on to things too tightly. but the people you love, well, never let them go.

scott says of the 15 homes that were on his street, more than half the residents are planning to rebuild. he already has plans for his new home on the very same spot. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. if you have a story idea for our "bay area proud" series, let garvin know on his facebook page. look for garvin thomas, nbc bay area, and leave him a comment. it's 7:26. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." gearing up for cinco de mayo, what san jose police are doing to keep one of the biggest celebrations in the bay area safe. plus, a new update on the health of former president george h.w. bush.

improving san francisco to give it a look. >> absolutely, because you really learn what makes a city run. >> reporter: previous reports have covered car break-ins and the street gangs responsible for them as well as speeding up san francisco government performance on matters like homelessness and affordable housing. the application is straightforward. you'll find questions like, why do you want to be a civil grand voor? do you have experience working as a team member? or gathering facts and analyzing data. the city needs 60 applications and right now is well short of that. >> honestly, i think getting the word out so people really know that's out there is really important because it's just not something that we're thinking about on a daily basis. >> i think we can get 60. i think out of 900,000 people, there should be 60 people who say, you know, i can change things. i can help change things and make some policy changes. >> reporter: and the california constitution requires that every county in the state impanel a

civil grand jury. judge feng says he doesn't know what's going to happen if they don't reach their numbers but they have outreach going on to churches and communities and they're confident they'll get there. now to some encouraging news about former president george h.w. bush. he is back at home after spending nearly two weeks in the hospital. mr. bush was discharged from houston methodist hospital yesterday. a statement from the family says he is doing well and that he is happy to return home. the 41st president was admitted for an infection that spread to his blood just one day after the funeral for his wife, barbara bush. last night was the opening night of the california republican party convention down in san diego, and there's a lot at stake. who will the republicans endorse? with the june primary just a month away, assemblyman travis allen and businessman john cox are fighting for that endorsement and this is a critical time for california. we are now the fifth largest economy in the world.

center. to baseball now. the giants in atlanta, they exploded for six runs in the second inning, highlighted by this play at home. allen hansen is initially called out but the replay shows he did touch home before being tagged. thank goodness. the run scores. and the giants beat the braves 9-4. the as back at the coliseum last night hosting the orioles. the green and gold came out swinging. that sends the as to beat the orioles 6-4. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, nbc bay area respondresponds fresh food for sale in the cooler case two weeks after the date on the label. we started asking questions, finding confusion, and silence until the federal law. we've got a cloudy and cool start across the bay area. 48 degrees right now for santa rosa, but if you look down to the south bay, and even san francisco, we're still in the 50s. how warm or should i say how

much cookler will we be getting.

good morning. it's 7:44 right now and so far, we're seeing a lot of cloud cover out there. look at this nice shot of woodside, 54 degrees right now. expect to see a lot of that high cloud cover sticking around for much of your saturday. not too much sunshine, but at least we'll be tracking some conceivably cooler temperatures as well and also we've got some breezy conditions in san francisco right now. this is a nice shot of the golden gate bridge. we can expect to see a nice little shift in the temperatures. we're going to start trending slightly cooler. the reason for that is you can see our doppler radar right now. we've got plenty of cloud cover over the bay area. we've got an approaching trough and what that's going to do is bring a chance of seeing some drizzle along the coast for tonight and into tomorrow as we head in towards sunday morning. we're going to keep that high cloud cover as well and expect also some breezy conditions to pick up as we see a nice marine layer as well starting to build

in there in a nice flow. now, your microclimate highs for today still going to be slightly warmer for inland spots but not as warm as we've seen the past couple of days. 74 degrees expected for san jose, milpitas at 70 degrees and out near the east bay, oakland at 64, hayward, 67. further inland, this is where we'll typically see some of the warmest spots. concord, 76 and for the peninsula, upper 60s for san mateo and if you're headed to the city, expect upper 50s for the embarcadero. again, expect those breezy conditions. if you have any celebrations you're heading into tonight, keep that in mind. bring a light sweater. snowmagedd sonoma, 70 degrees. if you're heading to the san francisco cinco de mayo festival, that takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. expect a lot of cloud cover out there, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to rain.

again, we might catch some drizzle into tonight but the temperatures fairly comfortable and cool in the 60s. a lot of music, fun, all that good stuff. let me know what food you're eating. i like seeing everyone's food. it's not just to kacos and guacamole. this is a bit of a cooling trend into the weekend. now as far as our temperatures go, you're going to notice a nice bigger drop in inland spots because our daytime highs for tomorrow will be in the low 7 0s, and then we start to warm back up again so we see a slight warm-up as we head into monday, 79 degrees, tuesday, 78, and then once again, tuesday into wednesday, we notice a bit of a drop in the temperatures, and believe it or not, typically around this time of the year, as we head in towards the later portion of this week, we are already starting to jump into the upper 80s so we're running a bit cooler as we head into the workweek as well. but again, aside from the cloud

cover, i think today should be perfect for any type of outdoor celebration. >> including eating. >> eating. all of it. my favorite part. >> hopefully people send you their food pictures, vianey. thanks. it is 7:47. still ahead on "today in the bay," it is two weeks after the date on the label, but the food is still for sale in the grocery store. we zero in on the label and call the feds. their answer might surprise you. nbc bay area responds is next.

this package 14 days past the sell by date on the label. he didn't think of looking at the date until after he ate some and felt sick. >> my food was two weeks expired. >> reporter: we checked out that same store, shopping april 23rd, we bought shrimp balls dated april 21st, trays of raw seafood mix and a package of raw beef with no date at all. on the shelves, we found several dry goods dated as far back as january. but here's the thing. >> it's not illegal. >> reporter: dr. linda harris leads the western center for food safety at uc davis. we brought her the out of date items we bought. she brought some old food from her own kitchen. >> reporter: every item has a date in the past. should we throw all this out? >> absolutely not. >> reporter: dr. harris explained that most dates on food are not actually expiration dates. they actually tell you when peak quality drops off. she says most food is perfectly safe to eat past the date on the label. >> it's not a safety issue.

>> reporter: even the salad dressing from 2014 she found unopened in her fridge. >> i might put some on a spoon and taste it before i sprayed it on my salad, but i think i would still eat this. >> even though it's been almost four years. >> even though it's been almost four years. >> reporter: u.s. law requires an actual expiration date on one item, baby formula. every other date you see on food is voluntary under federal standards. so that beef with no date at all meets federal criteria. absent clear government guidelines we are bombarded with terms, best by, expires on, use by, best flavor by, sell by, enjoy by. the meanings vary, and so does the science used to calculate the date. somehow, everyday shoppers are expected to decipher it. >> what that confusion leads to is consumers unnecessarily throwing away some food when it might still be perfectly good to eat. >> reporter: by some estimates 40% of all food that is grown, produced, and shipped in this country is never eaten.

instead, it winds up in landfills, in part because we don't understand the dates on labels. that should change this summer. >> rather than having 10 or 20 different phrases, you'll see one or two. >> reporter: the grocery manufactures associations is telling companies to use best if used by or use by. most products will get best if used by. since the association says most food is safe to use or consume after the date. the remaining few products will read, use by. that's reserved for highly perishable food that might pose a health risk after the date on the label. >> so, maybe a sliced deli meat or raw shellfish, something like that, that you would -- you know, that would have that food safety concern over time. >> reporter: food experts are hungry to teach families a about the new lingo and help them stop wasting so much food. >> which in turn helps them save money and i think that's a win

for everybody. >> that was consumer investigator chris reporting. the new labels are still voluntary. any federal law remains mostly silent so if you ever expect you were sold spoiled food, no matter what the feds say about the label, you may report it locally. call the california department of public health. it has the authority to investigate. at 7:54, we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, it's our "clear the shelters" segment. we'll introduce you to maya and beno next. segment"
