we did not know -- city of san bruno. we didn't know there was a transmission line through the city until after the incident. >> the board also heard from pg&e supervisors who testified that automatic shutoff valves were not necessary. >> had those things went off within 10 minutes a lot more damage could have been prevented around this area. and maybe he would feel different if his family was running away from something like that. so maybe they should think about that. >> ntsb investigators said a lack of public awareness about pipelines under their communities has been a recurring problem in accidents. christin ayers will have a live report on what's coming up in today's hearing at 5:00. it is 4:34. a leader of a white supremacist movement in california is dead. 40-year-old david lynch was shot to death in his home near sacramento early yesterday. a fellow skinhead is under arrest for that killing. antidefamation league had been watching lynch for more than 20 years and connected him with a number of hate crimes involving

showers, too. toward the afternoon, partly cloudy skies, a few more breaks of sunshine. temperatures not all that bad. 50s and low 60s toward the afternoon. not a complete washout around the bay area today but we have the moist low moving in off the pacific here all that moisture surging in along the coastline so occasionally those clouds roll on by and we get a couple of raindrops so going to keep things unsettled for today. but then after that we may catch a little bit of a break as a weak ridge sneaks into the bay area ever so briefly. temperatures today plan on about 61 degrees los gatos, 62 cupertino, about 61 in redwood city. a few light showers. east bay numbers running up mainly into the 50s and also the 60s by the afternoon. and our friends in the north bay also going to see temperatures up in the 50s and a few 60s, as well. looking out over the next couple of days, yup, taking a closer look at the weekend, it looks like we'll dry things out for friday. i think late in the day on saturday, another storm system moves in. the main focus will be north of the golden gate to begin with

but overnight saturday night into sunday that will drop further south rain likely around the rest of the bay area sunday, showers continuing on monday. all right. let's get a check of traffic with elizabeth. >> talking candy with your weather producer billy. he has a sweet tooth lately. look at this. we have handfuls. we show this. every day he is offering me handfuls of candy. bad influence!

level to a -- a, uhm, asian concoction level. >> reporter: he has been in the restaurant business all his life and hope he hit a winner. everything is fried in soybean oil, not as heavy as you might expect and there is vegan and gluten-free items on the menu as well but it's the fried stuff getting all the attention. just like mom made it in japan. >> reporter: it's not a meal would you want to make a habit of eating. >> what's the calorie in that? >> if you come for fried dessert you don't think about the calories that go into it. >> reporter: good point. so don't ask for a diet soda to wash it down. it's not served here. if they did they would fry it. with artery clogging in berkeley, mike sugerman, cbs 5. >> now makes me want to try it at least once. >> that gal was right. if you are going deep, go deep. don't think about it. enjoy. >> exactly. 4:57. he spread hate in the bay area. now the leader of a skinhead group has been murdered. the tv episode that put that
