what we've been through the last year, it hasn't been easy. for it to go like that, where it's close at the end, it's tough. i'm still trying to wrap my mind

around it. >> we all are. right now at 5:00, a tough loss. this morning players, fans, reeling after the niners devastating super bowl loss. we've got reaction from the team in las vegas and the fans right here in the bay area. plus, finally reopened. a busy south bay roadway reopening after being closed for weeks. a chilly start. a live look outside. a foggy start, depending where you are. this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. we'll check that morning commute as well. meteorologist kari hall has got a closer look at today's forecast. this is "today in the bay." >> good monday morning to you all. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. we begin with a swarm of earthquakes overnight in southern california. the shaking all centered in the same general location of el centro near the mexican border. the initial 4.8 quake struck at about 12:30 this morning.

the aftershocks from ranged from a 2.5 to 4.5, the most recent a 3.0 around 3:30 this morning. there have been no reports of damage. a check of the weather with meteorologist kari hall. good morning. >> good morning. we're starting out with a mostly clear sky and very chilly temperatures as you get ready to head out the door, after our start in the 30s and low 40s, we're headed for the low 60s today. it's going to be a nice afternoon, after, once again, a chilly start and kind of a repeat of yesterday's weather with morgan hill reaching 62 degrees. we'll see upper 50s in san francisco and also seeing some mild temperatures for the east bay. mike, you've been tracking some of that fog from some of our cameras in the north bay. >> it's hard to see because it's moving around. we had a lot of fog impeding our view and you can still see that as we face south from the emeryville camera. on the maps you see it's okay this part of the north bay,

solano county. over here we're looking at fog north toward novato, pushing toward 101, and that will continue to build toward napa. watch for that in the north bay. not unfamiliar territory, but pretty dense this morning. a smooth flow of traffic south of there and no major projects going on right now. back to you. >> thank you very much. the headline in today's "chronicle" pretty much sums it up, loss vegas and patrick mahomes celebrating in the end zone after the chiefs touchdown. some things you would rather stay in vegas. a painful memory for the faithful. >> this may be hard for the faithful to accept, but for the nfl the game will go down as one of the all-time classic finishes. >> nbc bay area's raj mathai has in las vegas all week and takes a closer look at what's a hard loss to fathom.

>> hello from las vegas. it is monday, and we know the whole routine, monday morning quarterback. what did the niners do wrong, why didn't they win? we have months to answer those type of questions. let me tell you what the niners did last night. they left the stadium and all went to a party, not to celebrate a win, but to celebrate their families and the journey to get to this point. they were the second best team in the nfl. let's take you inside the stadium in the locker room right after the game. you could hear a pin drop. the niners were built to win the super bowl, but they didn't. christian mccaffrey sat at his locker staring ahead for about 20 minutes. outside the locker room, more tears and hugs. the owner, his son, really just consoling friends and family. it wasn't supposed to be this way. the niners had royalty in the house, joe montana was here and all the other a-list celebs, usher, getting rave reviews for the halftime show, and the list goes on of ps we saw at the

stadium. it came down to that overtime drive, and patrick mahomes is a lot like joe montana. the guy is a legend when you want to win a game with a minute left. he drives the chiefs down the field and that's the game winner. final score, chiefs win 25-22. the 49ers have now lost three straight super bowls that they've appeared in, so it's going to be a tough pill to swallow, how to get better, how to get over this hump for this team. that's going to be it, wrapping up a week here in las vegas. i'm raj mathai. back to you. >> thank you so much. of course, niners fans gathered for parties everywhere across the bay area. one of the biggest at thrive city right outside of chase center. but in the end watching with others didn't make the outcome any less difficult. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is here. were you biting your nails like all of us? >> i really was. i had to put my knitting down and everything. i'm still wearing niners red because there's no shame in

their game. the san francisco 49ers in my opinion didn't lose the super bowl as much as the kansas city chiefs just won it in the final moments because they had a little more experience. the niners fans in the stands at allegiant stadium maybe had an extra reason to be bummed since they shelled out hundreds, some of them thousands of dollars to watch the game in person. in the end, the 49er faithful are still faithful. >> we played a really great game, but, hey, you win some and you lose some. >> i'm still a niner fan to the end. we'll get them next year. >> the first fan was in vegas, the second watch where people held their breath, held their hats. they were all celebrating until the last few minutes. this is nbc bay area sky ranger over the scene about six miles away in the mission where a small crowd gathered as well. in the south bay, proof that a niners winning season is also

good for the local economy. thousands of fans watched together at a watch party at san pedro social in san jose. as raj said, it has been a long time since the niners won a super bowl, 29 years since they won one. arm chair quarterbacks are going to do what arm chair quarterbacks are going to do. niners fans are going to be ready for the next season. >> we had a great season. can't complain. >> it was a fun game and it was close. it wasn't a blowout. >> it shows how good both teams are. >> both the offense and defense, yeah. >> we still love them. >> absolutely. >> you can't be a fair weather fan. >> i think there are bandwagon fans. >> they can come and eat the salsa, that's fine, as long as they help clean up. >> there you go. 5:07 this morning. relief for south bay drivers, you know a busy stretch of roadway closed for weeks is reopening this morning. we want to give you a live look

in los altos along el camino real, part of which has been closed ever since that christmas day fire. over the weekend the city announcing all eastbound lanes will reopen at 6:00 a.m., but for now the bike lane and the sidewalk will remain closed. if you remember, that fire tore through a strip mall that has now been demolished. no one was injured during the fire and firefighters have not revealed if they know what caused the fire irrelevant it is a foggy start to the monday morning, overlooking san francisco. kari has a look at our forecast this morning. >> we're starting out with that fog, mostly in the north bay, under a dense fog advisory up until about 9:00 this morning, where we are going to see in some of these areas visibility down to a quarter mile or less. so be very careful. here is a look at some of the readings we have at airports, with novato starting out with quarter mile visibility, about a half a mile in santa rosa, and once again, the sensors are at

airports, so you may be driving and encounter some really dense fog in between those sensors. looking at aur temperatures and where we're headed today, upper 50s and low 60s. overall it will be a nice afternoon with sunshine. mike has been tracking where we can find some lower gas prices. >> we're going to start with the bay's best in concord, no surprise. it's been there for a couple of weeks, this time $3.65 at ultra on clayton road. we'll check in with the city of milpitas and the city gas milpitas station, $3.99 on north main street for cash. marin county stays below 4 bucks, $3.99 at hq fuels on shoreline highway. there's a big board right here. it's also on gasbuddy.com. let's check out the roadways. a smooth drive. i do call your attention to the north bay where there's been a dense fog alert so we will have an issue for some visibility

along highway 101, including the golden gate bridge, where the traffic is less visible. over the last few minutes the fog has crept across to the san francisco side. back to you. >> thanks, mike. if you're heading out to get your valentine a treat, get ready to pay more. ahead, the reason behind the price hikes for cocoa. ♪♪ a stunner from usher there. a close look at the halftime performance and the local star that made an appearance. keep it right here. you're watching "today in the bay."

good monday morning. as we take a look at our current temperatures, some of us are in the mid-30s. we're seeing that in vacaville, as well as dublin, and in the mid-40s for san jose to palo alto, up toward san francisco. cool start, but it will be a nice day. we're talking about this and that rain coming back in a few minutes. right now we're looking at walnut creek, a little clip of the highway coming around. this is southbound 680 approaching 24, heading down toward the walnut creek interchange. we'll see how your commute is building in the north bay coming up. good morning. i'm silvana hanao from cnbc.

wall street is set for a fixed open as the markets come off another positive week. the s&p 500 closing above the 5000 mark for the first time ever on friday. it's also the tenth record close this year for the index. now, the dow, the nasdaq and the s&p posting their fifth straight week of gains, and in focus this week we get two key reports on inflation, plus data on retail sales, import and exports, manufacturing and housing, and we also get earnings from coca-cola, instacart, doordash and airbnb. amazon has reportedly won the exclusive rights to stream one nfl playoff game next season on prime video. amazon had been offered a playoff game this season but passed. nbc universal snagged the rights for peacock in a deal valued at $110 million. that game drew 23 million viewers, making it the most streamed u.s. event ever. the journal says amazon had a

clause to stream thursday night football, allowing it to claim next year's playoff game. and a win by the chiefs in the super bowl may not be good news for investors if you believe the so-called super bowl indicator. now, it says the market will rise for the year if the winning team has never part of the original american football league, which is now the afc or was in the nfl prior to its merger with the afl in 1966. but the indicator's track record is actually worse than a coin flip. the markets have historically performed better when the indicator is bearish, up 82% of the time for an average game of 11%, guys. >> see how they do. >> thank you, silvana. cocoa prices reached a record high ahead of valentine's day, a headache for hershey, who has warned about weaker profits.

bad weather is being blamed for damaging crops. the ceo says given where prices are, the company will use every tool it has to manage the business. trending this morning, a super bowl party in las vegas officially over this morning. >> not before usher and a slew of celebrity guests took to the stage for one lively halftime show. ♪♪ ♪♪ >> las vegas! where are my bad girls at? ♪♪ >> that's usher there joined by a collaboration of alicia keys, lil jon, ludacris. the singer performed a medley of

hits, "yeah" and last month usher posted that the performance was, quote, 30 years in the making. i can say he did a good job. >> i think so, too. it was flawless. >> i'm going to wear that suit. >> he had on a pair of socks with lace on it. >> that was funny. >> some people thought -- >> he looks different. >> it was packed. >> a lot of faces there. pretty decent weather, too. back here in the bay area, are we going to see changes this week? >> unfortunately. it was nice over the weekend. it was great to get some sunshine, we were able to just chill out a little bit. but we're going to go back to tracking some big storms by the middle to end of this week. this morning it's just a little

bit of fog drifting around. we've seen that low visibility. we're dry today and tomorrow, as our temperatures head for the mid-50s and mid-60s in some spots. then on wednesday the rain will be back, up to a half inch of rainfall, and then friday into the weekend there's going to be a bigger storm coming in with much more rain and gusty winds. looking at san jose and our temperature, right now it's starting out at 45 degrees. it is 42 in oakland. dublin, a chilly 37. and then going into the afternoon for morgan hill, a mix of sun and clouds. we go from low 40s here to some low 60s. so once again, a very pleasant afternoon. we'll see a high of 59 in martinez and 60 in oakland. upper 50s, low 60s for much of the north bay. and tomorrow it is about the same as we, once again, will have dry weather all the way up until wednesday, when we are headed towards a much wetter pattern. here is a look at the climate

prediction center outlook for this weekend into next week, and it shows the bay area highlighted for the potential of well above average rainfall. so here is a look at the change in the pattern we're going to see. the first system coming in on wednesday and then an atmospheric river from friday and then more storms following on saturday into sunday. so looking at our rainfall estimates and what we're expecting at this point, throughout the weekend we could see over the course of about four days the possibility of about 2 to possibly 3 inches of rainfall in some of our valleys, from the tri-valley to the south bay about an inch of rain. so it's going to get pretty soggy starting on valentine's day and then off and on rain into the weekend. friday at this point, maybe a brief break before we see the bigger storm coming in saturday into sunday. we'll be tracking this throughout the week. mike says as of right now it's a calm start to our monday.

>> they call it super six in some offices, the day after super bowl. calm on the roadways as folks were probably up late last night for some of us. over here toward the tri-valley, a smooth flow of traffic coming out of the altamont pass. no delay aside from where it splits up and gets more lanes. a little bit of slowing. there's a brake tap at the interchange with no major issues. a smooth drive. highway 4, no slowing into concord. same for 37, smooth drive out of vallejo. a little blip coming up there. concern is here in the north bay where there is fog at the golden gate bridge. the richmond bridge, westbound, we have these lanes that have been open for the last few months. but these lanes here were closed. i didn't get any official word they've been reopened, but i did see larger trucks. we might see a larger truck heading toward these lanes.

if they are open, that is a change for some folks. larger truck drivers will know that. just a note, you may see more activity at the richmond side of the bridge. sorry, no large enough trucks are going through the area. i'll let you know if we get official word. it shouldn't disturb the commute. >> thank you, mike. next, nbc bay area responds. >> she's waited a couple of years for a company to replace a product. then her patience ran out. so they ran to us.

a follow-up for you this morning. angry family members demanding answers after a helicopter crash killed five marine service members in southern california. the chopper crashed in extremely rugged terrain while returning from nevada to its home base outside of san diego. the marines say the crash is still under investigation and it happened during some of the strongest winds in years. some believe weather may have played a factor, which, as the father of one young lance corporal and former navy pilot himself, is asking why. >> i've flown that route many times. i was in shock after i had heard the magnitude of the weather. >> they're choosing to fly during those conditions and they're facing enemy action. so you simply have to get out

the envelope and train what you're going to face. >> all of the victims were between 21 and 28 years old. if nothing else, family members hope the marine corps considers changing how it conducts training exercises in severe weather. developing now, secretary of defense lloyd austin is back in the hospital. according to a statement from a pentagon spokesperson, the defense secretary was transported to walter reed national medical center yesterday. austin transferred the functions and duties of the office to deputy defense secretary kathleen hicks. the white house and congress have been notified of his condition. austin's latest hospitalization comes after he underwent a minimally invasive procedure back in december to treat prostate cancer. nbc bay area responds to an east bay viewer who was caught up in a recall runaround. >> consumer investigator chris chmura and his team stepped in. >> good morning. diana in san ramon bought this, a $950 phillips medical device

was happening. well, we're starting out a fresh week, and we're going to have some more storm systems coming our way. let's enjoy the last little bit of sunshine and dry weather that we have to start out. we're going to see sunshine and the dry conditions for today and tomorrow, but our temperatures headed for the upper 50s and low 60s. we'll also see rain coming back on wednesday. this system is expected to be fairly light with a larger storm system with higher rainfall totals and gusty winds for the weekend. as of now, we do have some dense fog settling into some of our north bay valleys. the shading of gray shows where we have the dense fog advisory, where visibility may drop to a quarter mile or less. we are already seeing that in santa rosa and zero visibility driving into novato. so be really careful, especially on highway 101. some of the spots where we do see the dense fog developing. novato headed for 59 for today,

and low 60s from fremont to dublin and up to 64 today in san martin, one of the warmer spots. it will be about the same tomorrow as we have one more day of dry conditions before we are expecting that rain to come in. a more active weather pattern with a quick-moving cold front on wednesday, and then an atmospheric river expected on friday through sunday and some widespread rain. some of our rainfall totals and what we're looking at between the end of the week through the weekend, we could see it reaching in some spots about 2 1/2 to 3 inches of rainfall, and those areas in purple are where we'll have the higher rainfall totals as we usually see. for the sierra, heavy snow this weekend with a possibility of about 8 to up to 31 inches of snow in kingvale. we'll be watching for that as things change over the next few days and we will still have that sunshine for today and tomorrow. then we see changes coming in with rain on valentine's day and

then tapering off on thursday. there may be a break on friday with rain and really ramping up that activity for the weekend. mike, you found that crash in walnut creek. what's going on? >> i found it with the assistance of our operations center. benny found it as he zoomed over and swung the camera around. there we go, it's southbound 680, it's over on the shoulder as we talked about as well. it's a tight shoulder for folks who know southbound 680, just before it splits with 24. there's a distraction. chp is there to help. southbound was showing a lot of slowing. there may be a second crash just before you get there. i think that's why the shot there is so very light traffic. just outside our camera view there may be another crash on the approach. we'll track that as you're heading past geary. the rest of the area has no slowing through concord. just that one portion through walnut creek for southbound 680. northbound 101 does show slowing.

you just saw this appear. this is a crash off the freeway. this is capitol expressway. we'll check, if it's a major intersection, i'll let you know. the south bay does show a little bit of a build but nothing big going on there or for the rest of the bay. the build is at the bay bridge. i'll show that to you coming up. >> thanks, mike. happening now, the state is extending applications for home mortgage pandemic relief program. people who missed payments as late as february 1st are now eligible. the money is part of a billion dollars california was awarded in part of the 2021 american rescue plan act. low to moderate income homeowners are eligible for up to $80,000 in mortgage debt, property taxes or deferred payment relief. state leaders say the program will continue until the full billion is awarded. a series of earthquakes, a swarm, in fact, striking southern california overnight. plus a tough loss for our 49ers. reaction from fans and players in las vegas ahead on "today in the bay."
