And the temperature is right at freezing. I dont see anyone out there at the lift. And we do have some snow falling over the next couple of days. There will be some more snow in the forecast. At least another five or six inches for some of those Higher Elevations in spots like kirkwood. Up to six inches of snow. Still looking good in that forecast. As we get that rain, theyll have some snow that happens on wednesday. Clears out on thursday. Our temperatures warming up into the low 70s. Staying in the 60s in San Francisco. And then as we look ahead to the weekend, that warming trend continues. In the peninsula, we go from 74 degrees on friday, up to 78 degrees, and then 82 degrees on sunday. We will have some very warm air for both saturday and sunday. You can go ahead and start making some plans to be somewhere near the pool, or the beach, or just running through a Sprinkler System maybe. We will have that kind of weather youll want to try to stay cool this weekend. And summer will be back, kris and scott. All right, kari. Thank you much. Next at 11 00, the dangers of laundry pods. The warning for parents of Young Children. And today hundreds are expected to rally outside it has been one year since the death of freddie gray, and today hundreds are expected to rally outside baltimores city hall in his honor. Gray died after being transported in back of a police van. His death sparked violent protests for months. Six officers face trials in connection with his death. About 1,500 people are expected at todays gathering. Those laundry pods, the little containers that you just toss in the washer are incredibly convenient, but they should not be used in homes with small children. Tens of thousands of young kids have been exposed to dangerous detergents despite warnings. As tom costello reports, some have barely escaped with their lives. I immediately had that mothers instinct that this was not good. Reporter it happened in the blink of an eye. I heard her gag and it immediately connected for me that she had bit into the pod. Reporter jills then 8monthold daughter swallowed laundry detergent back in 2014. Not just any soap, but the kind that comes in pods or packets like this. I called 911, immediately went to the emergency room. Reporter doctors had to put a tube down kates throat as her mom watched helplessly. Handing her hand and her small seemingly lifeless body, it was the most horrifying moment of my life. Reporter theyre colorful and can look like candy, but can kill. On average, detergent pods send at least one child to the hospital every day. Weve cinseen coma. Weve seen seizures and two deaths. Reporter calls are climbing by 17 in 2013 and 2014, according to a new study out today. They put them in their mouth, and as soon as they pop that conta container, it squirts into the back of their throat and the game is over. Reporter smith and his colleagues analyzed data for more than 62,000 calls made to Poison Control Centers in 2013 and 2014. Of the children who ingested laundry pods, they found 17 cases of coma, six cases of respiratory arrest, four case of fluid in the lungs, and two cases of cardiac arrest. Laundry pods make it easy to wash your clothes, but the detergent is highly concentrated. Just last week, Procter Gamble released this youtube video. Always keep laundry packs away from children. Reporter some doctors say that might not be enough. We strongly recommend that parents not use laundry detergent packets if they have Young Children in the home. They should use traditional laundry detergent. Reporter jill uses regular detergent now and encourages other moms to do the same. As for her daughter kate, shes doing just fine. Shes an amazing, lively, kind 2yearold. That was very close for them. You dont have young kids, so i use them all the time. I love them. But if you do have young kids, you really shouldnt have them. That was tom costello reporting. That Study Concludes that exposure to laundry pods is more dangerous than the traditional deterge detergents. If you do have them, keep them locked and out of sight. But in the meantime, just dont use them if you have small kids. Well be right back. If a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists.

Scott vo maybe yo looks like the bubble has burst for a man across the caribbean. Youre asking yourself, whats a hydrobubble . Thats a hydrobubble. An ultra marathoner launched his custom made inflatable bubble boat. The plan was to go 3,500 miles from florida to puerto rico, but the coast guard stopped him yesterday. They say he defied orders not to take the trip in the first place. Theed ed adventurer may be faci 45,000 fine, and i suppose thats because they would have to rescue him. Rescue would probably cost more than that. So he got off easy, in my opinion. And thats an extremely long trip. Cant you just go from one Little Island to the next . Or something fairly close . Something easier. Or take a plane or something. Its not going to be florida hot, but florida warm. Yeah, well get some of that as we head through the end of the week, but were starting out with some cooler than average temperatures. Today topping out into the upper 60s. A lot of sun.
