i am an allergy analyst. bermuda grass. ragweed. willow. i am a dander decoder. chihuahua. i am a target pharmacist. ask me about allergy relief.

in health news, a survey finds americans are unclear on how wine can affect their health. a moderate amount can be good for the heart, but the american heart association finds only about one third of americans realize there are limits on that and drinking too much is actually bad for the heart.

experts recommend no more than two drinks a day for men and only one a day for women. a warning about omega 3 fatty acids. they may increase the risk of prostate cancer in men. the fred hutchinson cancer research center tracked more than 3400 men for the study and those with high concentrations of omega 3 in their blood were two and a half times more likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer. omega 3s are found in fish and fish oil supplements. and it appears the worst time of the day to have a heart attack is in the morning. researchers in spain found that people who suffer heart attacks between 6:00 a.m. and noon suffer more damage to their heart. the problem is compounded by the fact that heart attacks are more common in the morning in the first place. doctors believe that is partially due to an increase in blood pressure and adrenaline. to the weather, because it is really our most pleasant story of the day. we have really warm temps in store. >> after that segment, i don't think i'm feeling too well.

>> can you at least deliver the weather forecast? >> i think so! >> we'll give you a break after that. >> okay, thanks. sunny skies, gorgeous spring weather taking shape. got to love it, looking at ocean beach. not a cloud to be found. a little haze at the beach, as you would expect. temperatures will warm there into the mid to low 60s through the day, while the interior pushes the upper 70s, headed for the 80s and 90s, possibly through the week for the hot spots. rest of us won't be that warm. we talked earlier about modern improvements in tornado warnings, and one of the most dramatic ones over the last few years is the presence or prolipheration of high- definition doppler radar, which now shows tornadic signatures, that is the beginning of a tornado a good 30 minutes before it's ever visible underneath the cloud. it varies 15 to 30 minutes generally speaking. our live high-definition doppler showing ground returns out over the east bay hills here, but, again, the doppler radar will pick up a signature of a tornado before it ever

leaves the clouds. so that adds to the advance warning system by a good 10 to 20 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes before that tornado or thunder cloud actually touches down and becomes a tornado, and indeed that gives much advanced warning as it did in the southeast this week, which saves a lot of lives. still, very severe outbreak there this month. as we see for us, much milder weather pattern. our doppler radar showing nothing in the way of returns, as high pressure prevails across the west. clear and breezy out across the bay today. a warming trend kicking in, which will continue through the week here, as we head into some of the warmest temperatures so far this year. high pressure pushing the jet stream and the storm track well to our north. it is winding down, nothing impressive out there in the pacific, but nonetheless, it's going to miss us going by to the north here, and we'll look for that high pressure system to remain stationery off the central california coast, right on through the week. looks like probably next weekend before it starts to

weaken. as a result, we're looking at the leading edge today, which will bring us strong northerly winds. again, not quite as strong as yesterday, but still a bit breezy, as we remain clear, and the warming trend kicks in in full force tomorrow when the winds die down completely and that trend will continue through the week, as we will look for a warmup statewide. today, we're looking for mid to upper 70s in the central valley, even back to the ocean, likely to hit the mid-70s here at the beach. mid-60s to upper 60s for tomorrow in the highcountry, 50s in the tahoe basin. that means a spring snow melt will be under way in a big way this week. today, mid to upper 70s for the interior, warmer yet through the week, back into the east bay hills. low 70s today. upper 60s, mid-60s across the peninsula towards the water, and we'll look for that trend to continue through the week. breezy again, north- northwesterly winds, 10 to 15 knots. on the bay, a good sailing day out there. as we look for clear skies

through the week, notice how temperatures bump towards the end of the week, at least for the inland areas, looking for mid to upper 80s, possibly a 90 or two. again, this is probably the biggest warmup of the season. we'll be looking at rapid snow melt in the highcountry, so probably flood advisories in the foothills. if you're headed out for rafting, keep in mind the water will be running high, fast and cold for quite a few months to come. >> okay. looking forward to it. i'm planning a beach day next week! >> there you go, perfect timing. >> we don't have a lot of those around here. take advantage. coming up next, we'll talk to a pair of ss state grads whose new movie is running at this year's san francisco international film festival. they are going to explain the character's humorous selling tactics. but first, tony tantillo with grocery tips. >> always, i say this each and every week, check the quality

and then the price. without the quality, you lose out on nutrition and flavor, so the price really doesn't mean anything. we're going to start with the fall grape coming in from chile that we're getting right now in the states. look at them, these are red globe grapes, huge grapes, loaded with flavor. they have a couple of seeds in it, but that's okay. make sure that stem is nice and green. you can find these grapes for $1.99 a pound. that's your average price. look at these beautiful green peppers, prices have really come down on green bell peppers. at one time, they were as high as $3.99 a pound. now you can find them for this price right now, 89 cents a pound. that's a great average price for these peppers and the big ones like this are great to stuff them with sausage and ricotta, tomato sauce on top, love that. and blue leg beans in the market, great quality, different growing areas are coming in, so there's plenty of them. with a great price, too. the average price on these beans are about 79 cents a pound at your local market. so there you go, just an

we'll roll the trailer for you as we continue to talk a little bit about this film, because you really did an impressive feat, making this really quickly and really cheaply, relatively speaking. tell me about that. >> well, we had some amazing people. i think that's what it comes down to. the crew and the cast, they worked really hard and they believed in the project and just the energy on the set was, was just really wonderful. >> we shot it in 14 days. >> 14 days, down in l.a., and the budget was what? >> just under $100 million. so we spent most of that on catering!

to happen. and i think that what drives up the production costs mainly is the star power, you know. and-- >> it's getting cheaper and cheaper to make movies now. >> it is. >> people like us who maybe wouldn't have had the opportunity to do it with the budget that we had years ago are making movies. >> fabulous. >> more accessible. >> but i guess maybe one unintended consequence of that is you have a flood of product around. so you had your big debut in san francisco last night. tell us about that. how do you attract people to this? >> social networking, facebook, twitter. >> which we're on. >> friends, family, you know, word of mouth. san francisco film festival does a great job of publicizing the event. so that was a big help. >> so a few more days of that san francisco film festival, right? >> yeah, we have one more showing on wednesday. >> okay. >> 4:15 p.m. >> so if people want to go to this, what should they do? >> tickets are available at rush. no longer available online.

with a dash of social media publicity... and a hint of with a dash of social media, publicity and a hint of mobility to meet demand, food trucks, the hottest new urban trend in dining. but not everyone is very happy

about this. who is trying to put the brakes on welch coaches? in the midst of a debilitating deficit, the oakland mayor plans to hold a town hall meeting this afternoon. we'll tell you about the key issues on the agenda and who will be in attendance. still recovering, almost two months after the devastating earthquake and tsunami, japan getting an infusion of volunteer relief workers. we'll explain why there's suddenly such a staggering turnout to aid the hardest hit areas. it is just about 9:00 on saturday morning. the final day of april. thanks for joining us. i'm anne mackovic. >> i'm jim bernard, in to take a look at lovely weather forecast, absolutely gorgeous out there. clear skies and the trend will continue here through the week. don't see anything arriving on the horizon to mess up the blue sky you're looking at across the vaca cam, back towards the bay. not even any fog to speak of this morning. temperatures are going to be warming, breezy out there right

now, keeping a bit of a chill in the air. winds will die down later this afternoon and that will leave us with a warmup through the week. it could push us to the highest temperatures we've seen so far this spring. that would be a good thing. >> looking forward to it. >> as long as it doesn't get too hot. >> more details in a few. an east bay teacher is alive and well this morning, after being trapped for four days in a car that had plunged down an embankment. it happened on grizzly peak in the oakland hills near tildon park. 53-year-old james wright, who you see there, had been at the bottom of a ravine since monday morning. then on friday at about 10:30, a park ranger noticed something glistening below the road. >> i ran down the hill about 200 feet, steep ravine, and there was a guy in the car, and i opened the door and he was okay. >> the oakland fire department needed more than an hour to get rescue ropes and a basket 200

feet down, but wright survived with only minor injuries. neighbors say he does a lot of outdoor activity, so he might possess more survival skills than most people. frustration growing tonight among bay area restaurant owners. they are feeling cheated by one of the hottest food trends in the industry, the gourmet roach coach. the grumbling gastronomic gripes, linn? >> reporter: restaurant trucks are one of the hottest trends in the food business. >> this is what they call a cajun chimi chang ga. >> reporter: but the food is just the start of what's causing the boom in cities like san jose. trucks drive to where the people are, a busy sidewalk or a community event, and sell to the hungry masses on the spot. many are also good at using social media to publicize their ever-changing locations. >> we follow them on twitter and we think it's a great -- on facebook, and it's a great opportunity for i guess folks to try different types of food. >> reporter: and the lower costs of selling food on the street makes it an appealing

choice for customers and restaurants, struggling through the recession. >> less overhead, you're mobile, you can move around and do new locations, get a whole new clientele by being mobile. and then doing festivals like this as well. >> reporter: seven trucks pulled up to city hall today to provide gourmet eats for a city- sponsored environmental showcase, but while business was booming for the trucks, bricks and mortar restaurants across the street were empty. >> today's been a pretty slow day for us, especially for a friday. obviously it's because all these roach coaches are parked across the street from us and, you know, everybody's going there. >> reporter: there's growing frustration among established restaurants, as more food trucks hit the streets. it is taking a bite out of businesses, which have higher costs, fees, and regulations. >> the rent, overhead, employees, you know, a ton of fees that they don't have. and then they can park right in front of our restaurant and, you know, it's, it's kind of gives them an unfair advantage.

>> reporter: several cities have begun regulating where the trucks can park and limiting the number of mobile restaurant permits, but nothing like that in san jose, where for now at least it's bone appetit. >> for people who want to have a quiet conversation and different type of meal, go sit down at a restaurant. we've got great restaurants in the downtown. i'm confident that we can coach this and hopefully grow the size of the pie in terms of number of people coming downtown to enjoy the food. >> that was lynn ramirez reporting. time to clean out your medicine cabinet. today, the dea is sponsoring a national drug takeback day. people can drop off any unwanted prescription drugs at designated sites around the bay area. no questions asked. it's not good for the environment to put them in the trash or flush them down the toilet. you can find drop-off locations for your unwanted prescription drugs at cbssf.com. click on links and numbers. today, oakland mayor gene kwan and city council member hosting a city town hall

meeting in the city's district 2 area. the meeting is going to focus on areas like public safety, education resources, and programs for young people as well as some jobs programs. this comes as mayor kwan is urging people in oakland to vote for a parcel tax or face more steep cuts in city services. today's meeting is going on, starting in one hour, 10:00, till 12:30 at regeneration church. that is located at 238 east 15th street. a number of city leaders will be there, including city councilwoman, oakland unified school board director david cash, and police chief anthony bath. it is a program designed to keep kids out of trouble by keeping them active, sports instead of violence. the safe saturdays program kicks off tonight after a similar initiative for friday night debuted yesterday. the program keeps the rainbow rec center on international

boulevard and the mcclimbman's high school gym in oakland both open until midnight on weekends. the hope is to provide vulnerable teenagers with a safeway to spend their free time. >> kids don't have nothing to do, they will find something to do and the chances are great it won't be something good. >> kids can come over, play basketball, dominoes, stay out of trouble instead of shooting. >> eventually the program hopes to encourage more facilities to stay open late. mayor kwan says the city is not spending any extra money on this program to make it work. she says they rearranged people's schedules and pooled resources. more budget woes for the city of san jose. that is where officers have now offered to take a 10% pay cut. the city has been asking for cuts from all of its unions to close a $115 million budget gap and the concessions made yesterday could save the jobs of 150 officers, but even with the pay reduction, the city could still layoff more than 100 officers.

>> it means a significant life- style change for many of my colleagues and maybe myself. it means a relocation to less expensive house. >> most important step, we hope that the proposal pencils out, we have to cost it out and figure out how much savings we can count on, because we would use those savings to save jobs in the police department. >> on monday, the san jose city manager will unveil a budget that is expected to axe 600 city jobs. one of the most colorful, outlandishes and drunken races in the world, bay to breaker. this year's the biggest crackdown on boozers yet. race officials say the alcohol aspect of this race has just gotten too wild. 26 ambulance calls last year for alcohol poisoning alone. now, a creative way to deal with those who get a little bit too sauced, sobering tents. inside those tents, inebriated participants will be given coffee and juice until they sober up and then they will be sent home.

>> there will be alcohol confiscation points and police will be there, as well as private security taking alcohol away from people. if people are deemed to be too drunk for their own good, they will be allowed in certain circumstances into sobering tents. >> oh, the stories that will come out of the sobering tents, quite a trip. inside those tents, inebriated continues pants, again, given coffee and juice until they sober up. very interesting. new numbers emerging this morning from this week's string of deadly tornadoes in the south. more than 339 people are believed dead in over seven states. this video, check that out, massive tornado in tuscaloosa, alabama. the state has been the hardest hit single state with almost 250 people dead. devastated areas of japan will see a surge of recovery workers in the coming days, with a week-long string of national holidays beginning yesterday, long lines of volunteers forming eager to

cambridge, now officially known, shared not one, but two sweet kisses. on the other side of the pond, wedding watchers got the full royal treatment at the britannia arms in san jose. and we are going to have some more news coming up and more on the fabulous weather forecast. also, the sharks opening up their second round playoff series against the detroit red wings last night. we'll show you the unlikely hero that helped the sharks steal game 1 win in overtime in his first-ever playoff game. also, an unusual cargo load for one flatbed truck heading over the golden gate bridge. why a cold war era missile was heading down bay area highways yesterday. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

[ banker ] mike and brenda found a house that they really wanted. it was in my sister's neighborhood. i told you it was perfect for you guys. literally across the street from her sister. [ banker ] but someone else bought it before they could get their offer together. we really missed a great opportunity -- dodged a bullet there. [ banker ] so we talked to them about the wells fargo priority buyer preapproval. it lets people know that you are a serious buyer because you've been credit-approved. we got everything in order so that we can move on the next place we found. which was clear on the other side of town. [ male announcer ] wells fargo. with you when you're ready to move. 12 minutes after 9:00. the nfl lockout is back in effect. the league made the announcement late yesterday,

after a victory in a federal appeals court. the court granted a stay of injunction that a judge had issued earlier in the week. in local sports action, the sharks opening their second round playoff series with the detroit red wings. here is gary gelson with the highlights. last year, the sharks had no problem with the detroit red wings in the second round. they won in five games. last night was game 1. >> to the net, and scores! ben fer yo, first-ever stanley cup playoff game wins it in overtime! and it was his birthday! happy birthday, ben! sharks win game 1. game 2 on sunday at the tank. -- the only quarterback in ncaa history to throw for 10,000 yards and run for 4000. the raiders took penn state

san francisco. >> our average cruise, we generate about $30 million to the city itself and 60 million for the region. >> is it more fun than being home in los angeles? >> yes. >> because? >> because there's so many fun things to do on the ship. >> after its port of call in san francisco, the ship will head north for a seven-night itinerary in alaska. here's something you don't see every day. a surface to aramis air missile on the golden gate bridge. the nike missile was moved to half moon bay for an air show this weekend. the nike was a cold war defense weapon that could fly faster and higher than anything before its time. the weather, as you can see in the video, that was yesterday. it was gorgeous and sunny, but it was really windy. we'll see winds moving out to perfection. >> i wouldn't want to come up against a missile on a bridge!

>> looks like it was traveling very peacefully. >> not something you see every day, nor do you see this kind of clear skies across the bay area every day. seems like it's been a while since we had a stretch of clear, warm weather to talk about, as it has been a wet and cold spring pattern for some months. this is a well-deserved break in that pattern and looks like it will last through the week, as we see coit tower underneath blue skies this morning. again, we've been talking about tornadic outbreak in the southeast here for the last couple of weeks, and one of the greatest tools available now is the doppler radar. i was talking about it earlier. this gives us an early warning signature of tornadic development in a cloud. what i mean by that, i said tornadic signature, and what that actually means is a profile of the winds in the clouds. there's no formation yet as far as the classic cloud that hangs down, but with the doppler radar, you're able to see the

wind rotation and the actual vortex developing inside the cloud and that can give anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes advanced notice before the cloud actually becomes visible out of the bottom of the supercell thunderstorm. so that's a very valuable tool these days, indeed, undoubtedly saved a lot of lives the last few weeks. no need for doppler radar this morning, as we're looking at clear skies. no returns to speak of, nor are there any expected here. through the week, high pressure sending a storm track well to our north. that's where the clouds and what little rain remains will travel through the week, as we remain underneath that dominant high pressure system, which means sunny skies and warm temperatures. bit of an offshore breeze today. still strong northerly winds, which will begin to settle down later tonight, leaving us clear and breezy with the warming trend kicking in in full force come tomorrow. we'll warm slightly today, but looks like a big jump expected tomorrow as the winds abate and we will continue with that warming trend right on through the week. so here you go.

as i mentioned, well deserved break and a very wet and cold spring pattern, as we see mid to upper 70s across the central valley for today, moving back towards the coast. looks like mid to upper 60s even at the bay, as once again, this trend will settle in here for the week. nothing showing up in the long range forecast at all, other than clear and warm. as we see those mid to upper 70s out across the fringe locations today, moving back into the east bay hills, some low 70s there, even on the peninsula, upper 60s today with mid-60s at the beach, warmer yet come tomorrow, and through next week as well. temperatures could be pushing the 90-degree mark in the interior by the end of the week. on the bay today, we'll look for much cooler temperatures, as mid to upper 60s will prevail. no 90s there. strong winds out of the north- northwest on the bay, 10 to 15 knots. looks like it's already stronger than that, as i'm looking at the flags blowing across the embarcadero, and we will expect clear skies right

through the week, as you see temperatures continuing to warm into the upper 80s by midweek, at which time i would expect a little patchy fog to show up in and around the bay, as the winds disappear completely, and temperatures continue to warm into the end of the week before we see a slight cooldown come the weekend. but nothing real dramatic as far as cooling. looks like a classic spring pattern. >> oh, we'll love those warm temperatures! in san francisco, we don't have the clothes for that! we don't have the shorts and the tank tops! >> true, because it's hot really quick. >> all right. i'll enjoy it, though. >> make the best of it. it works for cell phones. why not car insurance? julie watts will reveal a brand- new type of coverage that allows drivers to pay their premiums based on their actual miles driven. and on a road trip to southern california, the eye on the bay crew stops by to visit a familiar friend to the cbs 5 family. why he says he is enjoying the retired life down in palm springs. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

there could be a reward for that. on the consumerwatch, julie watts tells us "some" auto insurers are offering deals to customers who drive less. on the consumer watch, julie watts tells us auto insurers are offering deals to customers who drive less. >> reporter: other than trips to the vet, muriel doesn't do a lot of driving. >> i would say no more than a hundred miles a month now. >> reporter: so the berkeley woman is taking advantage of a new kind of car insurance recently approved in california. it's called pay as you drive. the cost of the policy is more closely tied to your actual mileage than standard policies, which merely classify drivers as high or low mileage. >> the difference here is instead of having essentially two categories for mileage, there's 39 categories. >> reporter: for example, a typical state farm policy for a

35-year-old male who drives less than 7500 miles a year is $612 annually. but under the pay as you drive program, the same customer who drives 7000 miles a year would pay only $065. drive of 6000, shave off another $50. >> it's what makes sense. >> reporter: doug heller of consumer watch dog says pay as you go policies reward drivers for making small reductions are better than those that require big mileage changes to benefit. >> it's not something that people can really do. it's not a change people can really make, then you might as well not have it, because it's not getting anything done and it's just window dressing. >> reporter: pay as you drive customers are required to report their mileage at set intervals, either by e-mail, electronic monitoring via onstar or in person with the insurer, but for some, that's a small price to pay for cheaper

car insurance. >> i think it makes sense to avoid paying extra for something you're not going to use. >> reporter: julie watts, cbs 5. right now, only three companies offer this type of policy. state farm, sequoia and automobile club of southern california. consumer watch says the best way of finding out if one of these policies is for you, is to ask your representative point blank, how many miles less do i have to drive to see a savings? if they say less than 500 miles, that could be worthwhile, because that is attainable for most drivers. ready for a road trip? that's the theme for a new season of eye on the bay. one stop is in palm desert. that is where liam caught up with our former hank plant. >> amazing. >> unbelievable. >> yeah. >> old recording equipment from 1951 that capital records installed in this house, fantastic. we have the place to ourselves! >> to be in the room where frank partied-- >> you know he liked to party! >> that's all he did! in the few spare minutes he

had, he made music. he was a great guy, and i know you'll leave an old message for all of your friends in the bay area. there you go. >> i miss you, thanks for everything. but this is great! >> oh, we miss him, too! they were visiting frank sinatra's house, amazing. the eye on the bay show goes on the road next week. check out a road trip like none other, starting monday, 7:00 p.m. on eye on the bay. we'll be right back. ,,
