a good day to be out in the garden to me but the psychology of weather affects the psychology of shopping. let me throw this out. learned today there are some plants that are probably tougher than some people. >> if i had started six weeks ago this is what my tomatoes would look like. >> reporter: impressive. but it seems lots of people have avoided their gardens this spring because of our winter- like weather. >> it was a bad march because we depend on it being one of our principal months of business and it didn't pan out because of the cold temperatures and amount of rainfall we received. >> reporter: business picked up last month but again today the cold rain kept people away. >> this is definitely one of our slowest days yet. >> reporter: let's face it. we can be a bunch of pansies. >> is it psychological? >> i'm a wuss when it comes to garden. if it is nice i want to do it. if it is cold, windy and

hostile i'm not that eager. >> reporter: lavender and fruit trees just came in on schedule. the die hards scoff at the notion of letting the weather control their green thumbs. >> you know something, the weather is always weird. >> just when i get the urge i want to go out and do it. >> reporter: those seem to be the types of gardens. >> we have been really busy. >> reporter: plants here have to fend for themselves from the elements. >> just been thriving and blooming really early and putting on quite the show. >> reporter: others don't look so hot. and these recent storms may do them in. >> the ones that don't survive like there is an empty pot right here, we just call those out. we end up with the toughest plants anyway. >> reporter: which begs the question which is tougher,

people or plants? well, speaking of tough. a lot of people are finding the economy to be difficult so they are planting vegetable gardens. if you haven't yet, don't panic. what i learned today if you plant tomato plants right now, if we get that big burst of heat then in some cases, allen, these plants can catch up with the plants that were in the ground weeks ago. >> those tomato plants, you get them they are pretty small. those ones behind you a pretty good size. >> reporter: this is like the cheating version, isn't it? >> i am not above cheating. >> reporter: neither am i. >> they would be fine. ann notarangelo out in the elements tonight in pleasant hill. thank you. late season storm really taking its toll on the nerves of wine makers. the heavy rain, cold, now in some cases hail can be devastating to the tender bloom that whether eventually become a great cluster. today the weather is about 20 degrees below normal in the

foothills. >> no way you can protect against it. frost you can protect against it. not really much you can do. >> but the storms just might turn out to be good things for the grapes. the wet weather could also produce a grape glut. this wintery weather is actually bringing fresh snow to the sierra. this is what it looked like at blue canyon for most of the afternoon. several inches of snow fell and cal-trans plans were out in full force keeping the roads clear. drivers had to be extra cautious with wind gusts topping 45 miles an hour in the mountain passes. the woman that loves this our roberta gonzales. >> try to go to the grocery store with me, dana. those at alls ann was showing you people are throwing them at me because they are done. the weather is not done. still have areas of precipitation. a bit of a break by the peninsula. but still damage is done. s.f.o. delays up to one hour and 20 minutes on arriving flights.

plenty of precipitation. where you see the areas of yellow that's more of a moderate to heavy downpour at this particular time for the evening commute. golden gate bridge and also the bay bridge are extremely slippery at this hour with some pretty heavy precipitation. you see it right here on our live high-def doppler radar. now let's share with you what it looks like outdoors. visibility is limited in ocean beach where it continues to rain at this hour. let's go ahead and take a look at this time at our cbs5 weather camera from the rooftop looking out towards the bay bridge where today's high temperature was 58 degrees in san francisco. 59 degrees in oakland. average high temperatures in the mid-60s. now, meanwhile according to our pinpoint forecast we still will continue to see the scattered numerous showers fill in in the overnight hours. watch your morning commute. most activity is due east of the bay. it begins to slip out towards the high sierra leaving us with partial clearing during the

afternoon hours just in time for the amateur tour du california. we have scattered rain showers as this area of low pressure continues to provide us with the wrap around moisture from that core. tomorrow, once we get past the lunch hour and we see the partial clearing to the skies the temperatures will rebound after we bottom out in the 40s and 50s to temperatures slightly warmer than today. the warmest spot was 62 in gilroy. tomorrow experiencing 69 there. 50s, 60s across the board. dana, we do have a forecast with sunshine in it. i will share that with you and pinpoint that day. that's still coming up later on. >> making us all happy. roberta, thanks. in the mean time the latest round of rain is putting some san pueblo residents on edge. despite the renewed threat the city council met last night to consider rescinding its emergency declaration and that

would mean homeowners would no longer be eligible for state and federal money. >> the public facilities have to be threatened. and with the significant period of dry weather prior to these rains and the relative stability of the situation out on the hillside, it was difficult to justify continuing the state of emergency. >> now, the city council was expected to make a final decision june 6th. well, anybody getting out of town over memorial day weekend may want to avoid the bay bridge if possible. eastbound drivers will have to take a detour right near the toll plaza in oakland. the alternate route will allow cal-trans to build temporary lanes then build a connection to the new area of the bay bridge that is under construction and the agencies says this won't be an easy process. >> we have to completely replace this eastern span and in some cases put the new bridge in the exact same footprint as the existing

bridge while 280,000 vehicles go across it every day. >> though work will not require closure of the bridge itself. however, it will allow cal- trans to open the new bridge to traffic ahead of schedule. another allegation of police misconduct. we will show you the video the public defender says is evidence that officers were stealing. and a big debate tonight at oakland city hall. we will tell you why it could mean an end to this city's gang injunction. remember this caught on tape here in the bay area. hair theft. it is now a trend that has now claimed a life. ,,,,,,,,,,

they leave watch the surveillance video closely. the last two cops are carrying bags. >> just because you're a police officer you don't have the right to go into somebody's room and remove personal property and keep it without having any indication of it in the reports. extremely, extremely disturbing. >> reporter: jessie reus says he never gave the officers consent to look his apartment and he says he even asked if they had a search warrant but the cops never replied. they then found meth amphetamine and they arrested him. the charge was then dropped. one believes has a laptop and the other one with a camera. >> i got scared. i have never been arrested before. >> reporter: the public defender says the officers were also involved there a similar incident at a different hotel called the jefferson back in

members. >> do they move crime from one place to another? yes. >> reporter: recent numbers show that one year after north oakland's injunction went into effect drug dealing is down but homicides have climbed. >> it has been touted as a measure to stop violent crimes. >> reporter: but the oakland police chief has been supportive of the ban. stop the injunctions received an e-mail from someone saying i'm in favor of letting the injunction take effect. i don't see great potential for harm and i do see the potential for reducing criminal activity. but she believes there is a fighting chance. >> we are hopeful that they will start listening to the voices of community members. >> we will have the results of tonight's meeting cbs5 at 11 p.m. for you. surprise testimony delayed

"there is a painful and heartbreaking time. as a mother my concern is for my children. i ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and i try to rebuild our lives and heal." so many unanswered questions. how could the governor keep this a secret for so long? and then there are money issues to contend with. >> but the fact of the matter is he was giving cash to a baby momma. she could have diversified anyway. >> reporter: robin sachs reacting to the secret of the governor but the fact that he has admitted to paying support for the child all these years. >> child support is not taxable

for the person who receives it. so the mother of the child is definitely not having any tax consequence because the gift is to her kid and it is money that she is entitled to. this child could get anywhere from 50, 60, 70, $80,000 a month. >> reporter: there were stories eight years ago when arnold schwarzenegger ran for governor. >> you can listen to all the negativity and you can listen to people who have never met arnold or who met him for 5 seconds 30 years ago or you can listen to me. >> dave lopez reporting in l.a. tonight. now, news of arnold schwarzenegger's love child has lit up the wires and it will certainly keep him from returning to politics. as mike sugerman reports, it may do his career good. >> reporter: arnold schwarzenegger. >> now we are going to do something extremely fun. we are going to play a

vital signs flew prototype sensors embedded in their uniforms. small helicopters are sent to help the wounded. thanks to advances and realtime data feeds the robots already know which soldiers are the most seriously wounded, where they are, and how to get there. >> previously we would be controlling every second. >> reporter: doctors treating casualties in the field have had to wait until the injured soldier was directly there front of them before they could start making their assessments and treatments. now as you can see the technology exists to begin that process remotely. >> they are getting pictures. they are getting data. they are getting a log of information. >> state again his injuries. >> reporter: the information sent back to doctors may allow them to diagnose and even begin treatments from afar with robots acting as a kind of wi-

a ledge at city hall for years. one of the beloved falcons in san jose died. the falcon family has lived on a ledge at city hall for years. the parents gave birth to four chicks last month. the only female among them has died though we have not heard the cause yet. the three male chicks remain perched high atop the tower with their parents. hayward high schoolers involved in last week's big food fight are going to learn a lesson in hunger. the seniors at leadership public high who flung the food around the cafeteria cannot participate in traditional fun events including the trip to

disneyland instead they have to do community service. they are easing the punishment to let the students go to the prom and graduation ceremony. from time-out to quiet time. a troubled bay area middle school has turned to meditation to relieve students' stress. and it appears to be working. >> when you have a lot of murders and violence, sitting down and trying to study is very difficult. >> peer pressure. >> this is a place where peace is hard to come by. >> a lot of our kids would literally run from their homes to school. >> reporter: when the principal arrived several years ago he found he had an uphill battle. >> this school is highly dysfunctional. >> reporter: he introduced quiet time.

and transdental meditation. >> i knew from my own experience just growing up in our society about the beatles. >> reporter: the results were immediate. >> we had daily attendance in the low 80s. we are now at 90% no once i really got into meditation in seventh and eighth grade i started get on the honor role. >> reporter: quiet time lasts for 12 minutes twice daily. >> you will notice kids that don't meditate and kids that actually meditate. you see the difference. >> reporter: the program is a brain child of the director david lynch, paul mccartney and ringo star. the beatle's one-time instructor. >> david lynch has been really great. in fact, he has come to the school on more than six or seven occasions. >> the kids were bullies and very angry. and they have become more calm. they are a lot more calm than

they were before. >> all you need is a mantra. >> do you tell people what your mantra is? >> no, it is a secret. you have to get your own. >> reporter: in san francisco, cbs5. >> and the quiet time is mandatory but the meditation is not. >> we are going to take a moment to meditate. >> right. on some sunshine. >> and you know i do yoga. quiet for 60 minutes. >> i have missed that, actually. all i know is that i'm grateful you don't drink coffee. that's all. >> if there is a reason here to keep the caffeine away from me i don't know why. this is the scene in san jose where we have actually had a little bit of rain. temperatures across the bay area today only 54. 62 degrees in mountainview. this is our live high-def doppler radar. rain showers still pretty much

widespread in and around the entire bay area. right now if you're in the concord area. leading edge of more precipitation will be heading your way. all this is lifting up in a north and easterly direction. here is the north bay where the most rain is falling at this particular time than when you see the shades of yellow. more moderate to heavy downpour. so far today let's check in and see how much rain has accumulated from 5 a.m. this morning until 5 p.m. just nearly 6/10ths of an inch of rain in santa rosa. 1/100th of an inch at the airport. thought this was really interesting. i compared these numbers with march 24th when we were in the thick of the rain and we are still pretty much even. 123% of normal in santa rosa to 94% in san jose. if you are out and about this evening we still have some scattered showers in the offing. so you will want to carry that umbrella. temperatures across the board are pretty much 50 to 55

dropping into the upper 40s and low 50s. it looks like we will see a cooler temperature of 43 in santa rosa. so the area of low pressure is pretty much lifting to the north and exiting to the east and behind it a lot of unsettled air mass so therefore some cool and wet conditions as the evening progresses but according to our pinpoint forecast after midnight we will start to see the showers taper off as they filter out in a counter clockwise fashion. partial clearing as the tour rolls through the bay area. tomorrow temperatures respond to that little peek-a-boo sunshine. the extended forecast calling for full on sunshine. dry day. thursday a quite seasonal day. bright and sunny on friday and end up with mostly cloudy skies by night fall. that will lead to cloud cover on saturday. isolated showers in the forecast for sunday. and then clouds stick around on monday and tuesday. that is your pinpoint forecast.

allen? >> all right. dana just gave an "oh, no" to that other forecast for rain. a battle cry for waivers approved for the bay area. waivers for part of the federal health care law and bay area businesses did follow the rules on applying for them. 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on cbs5 which businesses receive them. why critics say it is obvious politics was in play. i know it is early but this is good stuff. giants needed a win to stay in first place. i'm dennis o'donnell. and with rain delays all over the place, some people got creative.

n't good enough we are about a quarter way through the baseball season and one pattern is very clear. the giants' offense is not good enough to overcome defensive mistakes and their defense isn't nearly as good as 2010. the giants ranked 26th in the majors with 30 errors. george karl taking in the matinee in denver this afternoon. jonathan sanchez was cruising through seven. jose lopez comebacker. sanchez gets a glove on it. bare hands.

throws him out. at least for a day the critics should stop. in the 8th. a bunt. for the second game in a row the starting pitcher throws it away. one run scores to sanchez is pulled. allows four runs in seven innings. lopez trying to keep it a 3-3 game. this is d day right here. carlos gonzalez. rockies rally with four in the eight. they leapfrog san francisco into first place by one half games in the west. here is the defense i was talking about. it has not been championship caliber lately. last year fourth in the majors committing just 73 errors and 162 games. already booted 32 balls this year and we, as i said, just a quarter of a way through the season. dallas braden had surgery in new york. as expect him to miss the rest of the season. as delayed last night by rain.
