have been let back inside their home. firefighters in the south bay, they are investigating why two buildings less than two miles apart went up in flames last night. both fires were in the district. the latest one was 10:30 last night on fifth street. when the firefighters got there, the building was engulfed in flames. now, three hours earlier, just a couple of blocks away, there was another fire on commercial street. it happened at a welding school and students were inside at the time. they say they heard loud explosions. , ran out of the building -- explosions, ran out of the building. no one was hurt. an investigation is underway. 8:05. san rafael police are warning women who walk along the bay trail about two slaults on women -- sexual assaults on women pushing strollers. both occurred near the back of the target store along the water. one happened five months ago.

million people in the bay area are soon gonna notice a distinct change in the way their tap water smells and tastes. we're looking at the commute here on highway 4 and also some of these other backups in the east bay. you can see it's pretty slow on highway 4 coming up to concord. well, the high and mid- level cloud and shower activity is gone south. we have the low clouds. will that play into a cooler weekend forecast or warmer? we'll have the answer.

the u.s. unemployment rate dipped to 5.4%. that's down from 5.5% in march. it's the lowest since may of 2008. the labor department also says the economy added 223,000 jobs in april -- in april, a solid gain. however, job growth is not boosting paychecks much. average hourly wages rose 3 cents in april to $24.87. the dow is up 258. the nasdaq is up 29 and the s&p is up 26. the water may taste funny

and why it may have to do with the drought. >> we first told you a couple of months ago about complaints that the tap water in berkeley and oakland tasted bad. east bay mud says the drought it to blame. usually they get their water from the sierra snowpack. the water is usually pumped from the deep cold bottom of the party reservoir. however, because of our lack of rain, the drinking water has to come from the warmer top of the reservoir and from the sacramento river. so the cold water can be saved for something else. >> we wanted to preserve as much cold water as possible, deep in the reservoir so that we can release it later in the year for the salmon. >> now, the salmon, it's actually mandated by state and federal regulations to release that water later in the year. the warmer weather may taste and smell different from what you are used to because its to contain a lot -- it does

contain a lot of organic material. east bay mud says it's fine. theys are tell us -- they also tell us this could be going on for quite a few years. tom vacar was on this story yesterday and had good suggestions. he says if it tastes funny to you, some things you can do, run it through a carbon filter. and then you can keep it in the refrigerator. if you chill it, it might taste more of what you are used to. >> you can boil it. >> yes. >> thank you, pam. >> all right, pam. thank you. 8:13. well, controversy is brewing around some new smartphone apps that calculate a person's blood alcohol level. depending upon the type of alcohol you drink, this app can calculate your level, using your height, weight and the time you spent drinking. some of the new app alert drivers to where the police checkpoints are. critics believe this new technologies to more harm than

good. >> i think that people use these apps to -- not to educate themselves but to figure out ways to avoid drinking and drinking -- drinking and driving. >> i had a certain someone turn 21 last year and i gave him a breathalyzer for a birthday gift since he was going to drink and grow up a little bit. 8:14. let's check in with sal, keeping a close eye on the commute. a serious problem on highway 4. >> yeah, highway 4 is blocked, at least one of the lanes is blocked and a couple of more. westbound highway 4 near the bailey road exist. this is video taken of the crash on highway 4. car overturned. someone was taken to the hospital. and also a pickup truck involved here. these are pictures taken just a

few moments ago of this crash. it's slowing traffic out of pittsburg toward baypoint and concord. i want to show you a live picture of the backup because we have our highway 4 camera pointed that way and you can see there's the overturned vehicle. let's take a look at all of that traffic slow -- all of that slow traffic. the bottom right of the screen is still the crash, still in the same spot. this is an unexpected delay coming out of antioch on the way to concord. on 680 it's cleared up completely because people are not getting through. let's take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, that's very nice as you drive through to the toll plaza. no major problems. as a matter of fact, the commute continues to look pretty good. i want to show you that westbound 580 as you drive through the livermore valley, that's been better than normal. a little better slow in -- better in dublin.

that's about it. >> highway 4 and what? >> bailey road. low clouds. high clouds have gone down to southern california where they are getting rain. las vegas is looking for 64 degrees today. the low clouds forming, really deserves a wow. the water temps are cold. there's no heat in the valley. no heat inland. it's impressive that it forms. and the air mass left behind is very cool. this is chloe up in clearlake. 46 calm, cool and clear, expecting a lovely high today of 7-- of 7 a -- a high of 75. bridgeport, 7100 feet, mono lake, snow. swinging in san diego really heavy rain. snow at big bear lake. we had a lot of low 40s. you can thank or blame whatever

you want. coldest temperatures they've been. 30s in the mountains. 50s from redding all the way down to bakersfield. that's going to keep much of the central valley, the high desert, southern california and the four corners in a cool pattern for the next 24, 36 hours. the low will eject out quick. if you are heading to southern california maybe for the weekend, it looks like sunshine and warmer temps. coastal fog. mostly sunny, below average temps. 60s and 70s. temperatures will be below average. they will rebound. the fog will be with us. that will keep the coast relatively in the 60s and then another cool weekend for next week. >> keep a sweater and jacket close by. >> cool mornings. >> all right, steve. is it a jailhouse confession or an explanation? >> i went and i gave a note and

emergency custody but police say that judge in that case was not aware of a restraining order that had been filed against reep by the mother of his children. i talked a short time ago with reep's mother. she tells me her son took those girls to washington to visit relatives and he had no clue about the restraining order. >> i think a lot of it is a misunderstanding. they've been divorced for i think eight years. but yet, they are together. they had a baby together this last year. >> it's a mother's worst nightmare, not knowing where your babies are and if they are safe. >> reep has been arrested twice before, she says, she also says he uses drugs and can become irrational. reep's mother didn't tell us or

step for them. let's take a look at why this building is closed for right now to residents. we've not seen residents coming and going. and the reason why is pretty clear. it's the red tag. you can see what it says on the sign. the latest problem for residents. some residents were so sick they had to go to -- they had to go to the hospital. >> when we went to the hospital, i suspected the water. i would feel sick and nauseous. >> reporter: city inspectors came by and red tagged the building saying that the water could pose a health hazard. residents had been complaining about stomach and gi ailments and asked east bay m.u.d. to test the water. the tests came back positive saying the water was contaminated with bacteria. residents here tell us they were notified yesterday they would have to vacate because
