Another misstep at the Santa Clara County jail, or just bad standard procedure . A man walks into the lobby at the jail and says he knows where deputies can find a body, but is turned away by jail officials. Its a questionable move by the embattled jail. That man says he stabbed his girlfriend, but was initially turned away at the jail. Nbc bay areas Chuck Coppola has the response from the sheriffs department. Reporter monday morning 28yearold Hugo Ernesto Castro walked into the main jail with a note, that he knew of a dead body. He was told to go to san jose police. He did, where officers detained him while field officers went to this condominium complex in san jose and found the body of a woman castro had dated. Police then arrested and questioned castro who they say confessed to killing her. But it has added one more incident for a Blue Ribbon Commission alerted already to scrutinize jail personnel. The first thing you do is you call someone who has the authority to ask that person questions, sit them down in an interview room, talk about it, identify the location so that if the victim were still alive that person could perhaps be saved. Reporter sheriff lori smith issued a statement saying castro wanted to turn himself in, but later in the same statement says at no time did mr. Castro say he was responsible for the dead body or had any involvement in the crime. But with three deputies accused of murdering jail inmate Michael Tyree two months ago, this incident adds to questions about deputy training. This is yet Something Else that this commission is definitely going to be looking into. Reporter sheriff smiths statement added that if the initial findings are true, then the custody deputy failed to meet the expectations of the department. Chuck coppola, nbc bay area news.

If you missed out on that rain maybe youll have a chance as we go into sunday and monday. It is breezy as it dries out all across the bay area. The winds coming in from the northwest at about 15 to 20 miles an hour. The winds continue to pick up and it was really windy yesterday. Once that cold front moves to the east were still feeling that right now. So if youre heading out to the beach and we are worried about the possibility of some rip currents, large breaker waves with those long period swells at about 14 to 16 seconds. And the swell heights at about 9 to 12 feet, weve had some gusty winds with us and as our temperatures are still very cool we are now in the 60s. Lets take a closer look at the east bay now. Its 71 in brentwood and antioch. Walnut creek its 68. Lafayette now at 69 degrees. In the north bay temperatures also in the mid60s. Getting a look now at the peninsula a closer look there in San Francisco, well, the temperature in forest hill 66 degrees, mid Richmond District at 65 degrees.

Mostly sunny skies all across the bay. And fairfield up to 8. Antioch 80 degrees. Pleasanton youre looking at a high of 83 degrees. As High Pressure continues to build in our temperatures will be warming today, tomorrow as well as saturday on halloween. As we get ready to set our clocks back one hour on sunday morning the cold front will be approaching. And out ahead of that well have some scattered showers. As that sweeps through our temperatures will be dropping. We could still see some of that rain behind that cold front. Co showers in the sierra, especially in elevations about 5,000 feet and above. And the estimated rain for the bay area looking at about a few more hundredths of an inch over what we had yesterday. Napa may get a tenth of an inch as well as san to rosa as the front sinks to the south the rain dries up a bit. We will have warm temperatures over the next couple days. By tomorrow expect a high of 81 in the south bay. And in the trivalley on halloween its going to be 86 degrees. And look at how those temperatures drop off on sunday. It will mostly be in the 60s and 70s all across the bay area with more clouds and that front sweeping on through, scott and laura.
