>> i'm fine with it. i'm just glad to be done with these people and to have my stuff back. >> i've been nothing but kind and generous to this young lady, and it hurts my feelings. >> he was a big mama's boy. >> yeah, i'm close to my mom, but it's 'cause i love her, and i care about her. >> not borrow any money from a boyfriend's mom. >> be careful about who you >> be careful about who you date. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com for cbs news bay area this is the evening edition. >> the latest from our weekend storm is behind us, but we're not in the clear. >> and the height of the storm crating dangerous road conditions across the bay area. >> the event didn't prevent

event this is weekend. i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. spring has been put on hold as another storm arrives in the bay area. >> most of it is heading south and out of the bay area as we take a live look this veng. there's still scattered showers around, and here's how it looked at the peak of the storm. this is speeded up footage, obviously, of traffic on the san mateo bridge. i don't know why. the east bay and san francisco areas both under flood advisory this is morning. both expired around 3:00 this afternoon. as for what's happening -- what happened and what's happening next, here's darren. >> we had quite a good band of rain come through here. we got more rain today than we would on average for the entire month of may. we'll talk about this system in more detail in the full forecast. but first, how did we do? look at the last 12 hours. the main wall of rain has passed. we have a chance for scattered showers from now until tomorrow morning, but the bulk of the rain has passed. look how much we got. little perspective on these numbers. the numbers over on the far edge of the screen show you

what averages for the entire month of may. let me do a little math for you, just about all of these numbers got more today than you would on average for the entire month. san francisco, you got 131% of may's average raf today. and that's the important one, because those records go back pretty far. none of these broke records for the day. and there's a number of ways to sum this all up. the record for may 4th for rainfall in one day, none of them broke records, but the fact that we exceeded the monthly average says a lot. watch what happens. from now into tomorrow isolated on again, off again, hit and miss showers. we'll play this through to the end when we get back together and a little explanation, what happened today. back to you. >> thanks, darren. rain was here long enough it's caused issues on the road. in martinez multi-vehicle wreck on highway 4 near el ham bra avenue shut down a lane of traffic for hours late this

morning. road was finally re-opened around 3:30 this afternoon. there's no word on exactly how many vehicles were involved or the condition of the drivers. and we caught this wreck on the bay bridge. see the tesla in the far left lane hydro planes into the path of an oncoming truck. the two right lanes of the bridge were shut down for a few hours. chp says that nobody was injured. >> and in palo alto, part of el camino real underneath the university overpass was shut down due to flooding this morning. but they managed to clear the water and get it open by early this afternoon. and the storm is also pounding the sierra with snow. a live look at the caltrans camera at soda springs. you can see it's still coming down there. the road completely covered and the national weather service issued winter weather advisories for much of the region, including donner pass, the tahoe basin, and yosemite, with over a foot

of snow expected in some areas. >> and you can always get the latest forecast and the rest of the weather on kpix.com and the cbs news bay area app. little rain, though, didn't stop a community fair in san francisco's sunset parkside neighborhood. the chinese cultural district put on the street fair. mayor london breed stopped by to unveil a colorful new mural. >> in san jose, the city is getting ready for their annual cinco de mayo celebration tomorrow starting with a 300-carlorider parade that pays hom imagine to the city roots. its stoet lead into a festival that will run into 4:00. this is just the second lowrider parade hosted by san jose since city lifted its decades long cruising ban in 2022. >> i think because we get an opportunity to show that, you know, it's more than just doing illegal stuff. it's a

culture, and it's our passion that we're into cars or trucks. so yeah, it's pretty cool that we get to come out and put ourselves out here. >> police say to expect road closures downtown along east santa clara street from highway 87 to 101, including sections of south tenth street, south fourth street, and south market street. and in east san jose, streets from allen rock avenue to tully road near 680 could see closures as well. coming up next on cbs news bay area, after more than a year in the dark -- well, it wasn't really dark, but it wasn't the same -- we'll tell you when the bay bridge is set to light back up. and coming up in sports, a photo finish at churchill downs today. the dramatic fin fresh the 155th running of the kentucky derby. plus, it's been a hard year for a's fans, but one of their up-and-coming pitchers in

the bullpen is giving them something to cheer about. we'll be right back.

it'll be raining cats and dogs again. time to waterproof with gorilla. waterproof with gorilla? gorilla waterproof patch & seal. of course. spray it, tape it, spread it, brush it to stop and prevent leaks. for the toughest jobs on planet earth.

and we're now going to have a live look at the bay bridge, which you will notice includes a rainbow, and the pot of gold, apparently, is that ship that's about to come in under the bay bridge. the suspension cables on the bay bridge will soon be lit up again. >> illuminate sf, the company behind lasers, says they've raised enough money to turn the lights back on. max darrow has the details. >> reporter: the bay lights are coming back after going dark in 2023, and they will shimmer

brighter than before. for ten years, the bay bridge lights brought a sparkle to san francisco's skyline and the feeling that came along with it, says ben davis, the founder of illuminate and visionary behind the art installation, was one of awe. >> it makes you want to reach out and grab the hand of the person next to you. it doesn't make a difference who they are. it brings us into a sense of humility through awe that unleashes the better nature of our character. >> reporter: but since they went dark in the spring of 2023 -- >> i feel like there's a hole in the night sky. there has been for the past year. >> reporter: the lights first lit up to 2013. what was originally meant to be a two-year display ended up turning into ten, but over time many of the lights were losing their luster. >> the bay bridge is a really harsh environment for electronic, and so they were suffering. and really, rather than let them decay into oblivion, which is a bad look for san francisco, we took them down and set about bringing them back in a new

configuration designed to do well over time on the side of the bay bridge. >> reporter: now dubbed bay lights 360, the installation will have 50,000 l.e.d. lights and better visibility than before. >> we're going to wrap around both sides of the cable so we can see it not just from san francisco and the north bay but as a matter of aesthetic equity to communities all around the bay. >> reporter: revamp made profitable after the art nonprofit raised more than $10.5 million through a fundraising campaign, completely through people and donors in the community, not from the city or corporations. >> we didn't seek any city funds, because we didn't really want to rob the public arts in san francisco, other organizations could use it more. i find it an honor to have gestures like the bay lights manifest in the world with the help of thousands of people. >> reporter: so it'll still be a little while before you'll get to see the lights on the bay bridge sparkle again. davis says they're work to build the materials now and will begin

installing in the fall. the plan is to have them shining again some time around march of 2025. all right, let's get back to the weather. and i have to say, i was a little surprised by this storm. >> yeah. unless you were following along at home up until about two days ago this system did not look this good. within that two-day window we had a good beat on it. paul had been on this one, so had jessica in the morning, talking about the rainfall. i was off since tuesday. i got to talk about this, though, what happened? >> yeah, what happened? >> we got more rainfall today thank we do on average for the entire month. so let's take a look at this system for a second. first, back to that shot of the rainbow. you can kind of see it, but it's quickly fading. plus, i'm about to put a bunch of numbers in front of this anyway. just to review, that is the image of today. the amount of rainfall that we got today compared to how much that is for the entire month of may. that's pretty impressive. what happened with this system? if we want it over the last 24 hour, you see a

pretty impressive area of low pressure dig in off the coast, which shows up when you look at it in the water vapor. there's another way to visualize this using some of the data and the records going back on how to analyze these things since at least 199. we're going put the center of low pressure on there. let's color code it a different way. if you use this particular record, which is a way of umming up intensity of the area of low pressure and comparing it to what the records are going back at least to 1979, this one's pretty much at the peak. in other words, this is either at or just right over the strongest area of low pressure that we've recorded for this early in may since 199. it had a lot of intensity to it. when you draw in where the cold front is, watch where the leading front of that is. you've got this strong area of low pressure creating a strong mass of air clashes in the atmosphere. that's where you usually

develop the most rain. this thing looked like a pretty good storm in january coming in in may. and that's where we were at 8:00. that's the review going back to the 8:00 hour. that's when we got most of this rain between like 8:00 and like noon. and now that that system has finally passed, you see where that line is. so we're done with that. what we still have back here is the on again, off again showers. those rainfall totals we just looked at, some of them go up a little more, but this is going to be very spotty on again, off again, hit and miss showers that come in quick and get out quickly. we're done with that widespread wall of rain that exceeded the entire month in one day. and we're not done with these scattered showered really until about sunrise tomorrow. and tomorrow we're not looking at this at all. that's sunday. that's plenty of sunshine tomorrow. we're not going to warm up a whole lot just yet. there is a dramatic warm-up coming for next week, but for sunday and monday, i don't think you're going to notice a lot of difference. case in point, san francisco level is down to 4,000 feet in the sierra right now. this storm is able to

produce two feet of new snow. we've gotten about half of this so far, but even though the intensity of the rain's lightened up here, these storms have a way of continuing to go with snowfall in the sierra for longer periods of time. they're accumulating snow in the overnight hours and into tomorrow two feet of snow at donner pass. snow down as low as 4,000 feet. that caught people off guard. we've been spotlighting this for several days. it did do a turn in intensity over the last 48 hours. all right, look at the warm-up. for san francisco and oakland, maybe it stands out. any time san francisco goes to 76, that's a notable warm-up, but the numbers start to look more impressive when you look at the inland valleys. 83 in the north bay by thursday. 85 for the inland east bay. so quite -- very spring-like in terms of the back and forth whiplash on this. okay, andrea, over to you. >> all right, thanks, darren.

whether you're in philly or oakland, the rain has delayed both games. the giants just started taking the field in the last hour, but weather wasn't a factor at the kentucky derby today. and they were off for the 150th running of the kentucky derby. favorite fierceness jumped out to an early lead but fell behind late. and a close finish down the stretch. mystik dan on inside the trying to hold on to the lead. sierra leone and forever young trying to close in. and it's a photo finish there. oh my goodness, look how close that is. at the replay, and by a hair mystik dan on inside the is your winner. sierra leone takes second and forever young was third. that was one of the closest finishes in the history of the derby. to golf. the third round of the pga cj cup byron nelson. story of the week has been

16-year-old amateur chris kim. an amateur player from england not even old enough to have his driver's license in his home country but made the cut to play this weekend. and look at this shot on the par three, fourth hole, nearly aces it. just wide of the hole in one. and his parents have a lot to be proud of. kim is tied for 51st at eight under. as for the leader, that would be taylor and shots like this one help. here was the approach shot on par four, six hole, and he eagles that one. pendrith moves to 19 under for tournament, and he has a one-stroke lead over jake nap entering the final round. the oakland a's have been in a rain delay all afternoon, but in a season with so much negativity, closer mason miller has been a bright spot. he was named the al ereliever of the month, much deserved after a hot start this spring that's put his name on the map.

>> 1-2 pitch. good night. mason miller slams the door shut. >> reporter: lighting up a radar gun near you is a's rookie mason miller. >> it's been a coming out party of sorts, i'd say. >> i call him mason aka moses. because when he walks into a room, the sea parts. and he just goes on about his business and everybody else kind of fills in behind him in his wake. >> reporter: he is mowing down the best hitters in the bigs. >> the best eye, the best approach, best bat to ball skill. these people are going to be embarrassed. they are going to be rendered children in the batter's box. >> reporter: he struck out aaron judge and juan sew to to close the door in new york on pitches clocked over 100 miles per hour. >> i think doing toint big stage like that, you know, that's the creme de la creme of baseball, you know? >> reporter: this was never the plan for miller. he was a d3 baseball player with an e.r.a.

in the 7.0s , something his friends remind him of. >> my buddies bring me back to earth. reminisce on the times we had and how far i've come. >> reporter: his main focus in college? landing a job after graduation. >> it was a budgeting efficiency position with a health network in pittsburgh. >> reporter: what do you think of not doing that? doing this instead? >> i'm glad. i'm glad covid happened and i didn't end up in that situation. >> reporter: after a few successful seasons and a transfer to a d1 program, the a's drafted him in the third round in 2021.. >> the difference that a couple years has made for me has been crazy. >> reporter: now he's at the top of the chart in saves and strikeouts amongst closers. >> that's who he has become already in a very, very early brief big league career. >> he's a special breed of talent and i'm fortunate to be able to watch him every night.

>> reporter: his unlikely path has given a's fans something to cheer about in a season filled with jeers. >> now there's story lines for these fans to follow, to fall in love with that allows them to escape some of the other realities that are surrounding the organization. so when you know you've got a locked in ninth inning that you can pretty much bank on and set your alarm for, you do that. >> it's just a matter of being consistent and showing up to that attitude and that mindset every day at the field that, you know, you're going to go in. team's going to win, you're going to dominate. so just rolling it every day. since we're on the subject of sports, these guys are not racing to their b.a.r.t. trains because they're late for school or late for work. they're on a high speed mission through bay area b.a.r.t. stations to earn a spot in the guinness book of

how long do you think it would be to take the ride for the entire length of the b.a.r.t. system from end to

end? some students in uc berkeley did ponder that question and it sent them on a journey. >> and it might have set a new world record. itay hod has that story. >> reporter: for a lot of commuter, getting on b.a.r.t. is a race against the clock, but for these berkeley transit students, that daily rush became an actual race with a world record waiting for them at the finish line. >> the day of, i think, just making sure the trains are running on time. >> reporter: they're part of a group of five friends who recently embarked on a high speed mission to hit every single b.a.r.t. station along every line. >> all right. >> reporter: their goal to score a guinness world record for hitting all 50 stops in the shortest time possible. >> so we start here in antioch. we're on e b.a.r.t. there, transfore pittsburg bay point,

then turn around, take the red line train all the way down to millbrae. and finally take the train down to berryessa/north san jose. all right, let's go. >> reporter: called speed running, the trend has become increasingly popular with people trying to conquer their transit systems in cities around the globe. >> i don't see it yet. >> reporter: there's no official guinness record for b.a.r.t. yet -- >> i'm going to go visit all 50 b.a.r.t. stations. >> reporter: -- and a last attempt by a youtuber earlier this year put the unofficial record at five hours and 49 minutes, which is why these berkeley students decided to trade their textbooks for transit maps and after months of planning they made a run for it. >> the most important thing was the day of making sure that we got all of the required proof throughout the trip. >> reporter: that meant livestreaming, gathering photos, and taking photos along the way. >> with had to step out of the train at some of them and grab

a photo really quick, make sure to hop on before the doors close again. >> reporter: it all nearly came to a screeching halt when a single missed connection almost cost them the title. >> no, we missed it. >> reporter: the drama of it all even caught the eye of b.a.r.t. officials. >> i happened to be just at home, and i just popped on. >> reporter: alicia is the chief communication officer at b.a.r.t. she says the moment she noticed the livestream, she had to give them a shout-out on social media. >> i right away messaged to them, you know, when you're done, first, let's get you in front of our board of directors at a board meeting, and we're going to congratulate you. >> go, go. >> oh. >> all right. clock, clock, clock. >> reporter: their final time, five hours and 47 minutes. beating the unofficial report by two minutes. >> we did it. >> sometimes you've just got to go out there, venture out do, these things that just like outside of what you would typically do. what's that makes it fun, right? and that's what life is about,

right?. >> reporter: it's a reminder, they say, that even when life goes off the rails -- >> i think that's it, guys. >> reporter: -- you can always get back on track. >> signing off. >> well, the students are now waiting on guinness world record for certification, which could take a few months. >> by the way, it cost them $28 per person to ride the entire system, which was covered by the transportation committee at uc berkeley. should all of us be so lucky. some familiar faces visiting a local children care hospital spreading some

well, in san francisco it is may the 4th and so may the fourth be with dozens of die hard fans who came to the mission for star wars day. they're showing all nine star wars films back to back in order. that's about 21 hours of film in total with short breaks to go to the bathroom. and trivia and games in between. the theater says it will not hold seats for fans who leave during the marathon, so if you go, you are staying for the whole thing. >> wow. and over in san leandro, patients at the children's house got a visit from a galaxy

far, far away. chewbacca and r2d2 visited to greet some of the kids. a memorable day for them, and including their own lightsaber. >> nice. >> yeah. those are tricky toys because kids want to play with them and the next thing you know they're broken. >> you would know being a parent. darren and i have no clue. >> use the force, andrea. >> see you back here at 6:00. >> good night. captioning funded by cbs tonight, dangerous storms strike deep in the heart of terrifying scenes in the lone the damage already catastrophic. rivers rising to record levels. and it could get worse in the hours ahead. >> we going right here? >> we'll have the latest. catastrophic flooding and high water rescues. i'm
