when you see a building look like this, you'd think it was abandoned or destroyed in a fire. it was actually the result of a traffic crash in southern california. a sedan blew through a stop sign in long beach yesterday. oh my gosh. it went airborne. a city bus t-boned it. both plowed into the restaurant. luckily it was closed. 11 people were on the bus. two people in the sedan had to be cut out of the wreckage. everyone got out alive with minor to serious injuries. the restaurant owner found out about the crash because a customer sent her messages on instagram. the building is a loss, but she's grateful everyone survived. here in the bay area, san jose police say they just

soon. >> oh, paul. >> we're talking food because that story got us hungry. >> red's java house, got to love it. check this out, a pond in hawaii has curbed pink. possibly from the set of barbie. the water at a maui wildlife rescue has been bright pink since october 30th. scientists think that extreme drought is to blame for this by concentrating the amount of salt in the pond. it's twice as salty as sea water. perfect for a type of bacteria that thrives in salty conditions and turns water pink or red when it blooms. not as appetizing or fun as the kind of water that paul orders from red's. hint, hint, it's not water, and it comes in a bucket. >> it's mostly water. >> sudsy water. >> it's dad water. >> mom juice and dad water. great. >> it's the 11:00 show on a friday. but the weekend is

here. >> it is here. and we have rain to look forward to eventually, right? right, next week rain chances still all over the place. basically when it comes to describing the rain chance, i'm a human shrug emoji because the range of possibilities is vast. >> but don't you have all the answers all the time? >> i'd like to make you believe so. we'll own up to it when we don't. but i'm confident heading into the weekend we'll see the storm track stay well to our north. calm conditions this weekend. plenty of sunshine. just a few passing clouds from time to time. not putting much of a dent in solar generation. the numbers pretty consistent from today to tomorrow to sunday. let's take a look at futurecast, and we are going to see some cloud cover floating through from time to time. it's going to be way up in the atmosphere. those are clouds mostly made up of ice crystals with no shot of dropping precipitation on us. there's the rain showing up off the coast heading from late

sunday to sunday night and monday, but still staying off the coast by mid-morning monday. that's when things really become more problematic in terms of trying to pin down our rain chances. could be as early as monday night into tuesday. a lot of the forecast model data is zeroing in on late wednesday into wednesday night and thursday. but again, we can't say at any point there's a 100% chance of rain, it's just an unsettled pattern shaping up tuesday, wednesday, and thursday of next week. we're trying to fine tune the details. it's something we'll do throughout the weekend. usually within three to five days of a storm arriving, we're getting the details, but the forecast model data, some are saying less than a quarter inch of rain total next week. others are saying two to three inches of rain. so that's a wide range of what's possible with this particular system. again, hopefully we can narrow in on a solution as we head through the weekend. this is one that's going to have us pulling out our hair, not that i can really spare any. a live look outside

looking southeast. clear skies overhead right now. temperatures cooling down to the 40s in livermore and santa rosa. 50s everywhere else. and livermore and santa rosa, you'll be the cooler spots to start the day tomorrow, dropping down into the low 40s, near 40 degrees for some of the cooler spots. most of us in the middle portion of the 40s to begin the day. then a nice warm up in store. let's look at the high temperatures on saturday. we'll be about two to five degrees above average into the low 70s for most of the santa clara valley up to the mid-70s around morgan hill. low 70s inland and the east bay. bay side we're just short of 70 in fremont and oakland. along the coast, mid-60s at half moon bay, but that's normal for this time of year. upper 60s in san francisco. we'll take it. inland north bay similar to other inland temperatures across the bay area. similar readings on sunday. maybe a degree or so warmer. let's look at the seven-day forecast. you're going to notice the temperature trend that follows

along our rain chances, where the temperatures drop as the rain chances increase through next week. enjoy the warmth while it's here this weekend. the low 70s inland won't last too long, which they shouldn't. average highs this year is mid to upper 60s bay side and inland. temperatures are going to cool down as the rain arrives, or at least the rain chances arrive. can't guarantee anything at this point. along the coast, that's where temperatures are going to be coolest. enjoy the mid-60s this weekend. you'll be down to around 60 degrees by wednesday, thursday, and friday. we're being deliberately vague ask the rain chances tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. eventually one of those days will bring us a chance of more widespread and heavier rain. all right, paul, thank you. can you imagine the rock in the oval office? apparently he can. wow, i don't know what to say off of that. we have a 49ers injury report heading into the weekend. san francisco getting a little healthier off the bye. plus t giants are
