$110 million. now, that game drew 23 million viewers, making it the most streamed u.s. event ever. the journal says amazon had a clause as part of its deal 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. it says the market will rise for the year if the winning team was 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 gain of 11%. with your cnbc morning business report, i'm silvana hanao. right now at 6:00, dense fog

blanketing parts of the bay area. we're tracking how long it will impact your morning commute and the return of rain by midweek. finally reopening. we'll give you a look in the south bay where at this moment a busy roadway is reopening in both directions following a devastating christmas day fire. what we've been through the last year hasn't been easy, and for it to go like that, it's close at the end, it's tough. i'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. >> players and fans reeling after the niners painful super bowl loss. reaction from the team and fans here in the bay area. this is "today in the bay." it depends on how you look at it. good morning. i'm marcus washington. >> we lost, what do you mean? >> we are here. there's something to be joyful about. >> we had nice weather this weekend, right? >> yeah. the bright side.

we have a couple more days of sunshine in our forecast. it just starts out cold. take a look at our temperatures and what we're starting with, mid to upper 30s in the tri-valley from livermore to dublin. we're at 38 in napa. martinez, 46 degrees. 47 in san francisco and in san jose. so after this cool start with the dense fog, we'll eventually see this clearing out. but we have to deal with this through the morning commute. zero visibility in novato, and in concord it is clear for now. we'll see more clouds mixing in with sunshine today and temperatures going from the mid-40s to about 60 degrees for today. mike, you found a second crash in walnut creek. >> yeah, indeed, that was one of the reasons why traffic was so light where we saw the first crash at the 680/24 split. the next one is at the on-ramp as folks are getting onto the freeway. you do see traffic slowing approaching the crash.

a big distraction. no major injuries, but we have at least one lane blocked and it does sound like there's a motorcycle involved. we will track this crash as we look at the rest of the roadways. there's slowing on that one section of southbound 680, the rest of the portion of the bay, contra costa county, is all right. the bay bridge toll plaza is full, of course the metering lights are on. back to you. >> getting busy. thank you very much. 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 mexico border. the initial 4.8 quake struck at about 12:30 this morning. the aftershocks have ranged from a 2.5 to 4.5. the most recent, a 3.0 at around 3:30 this morning. so far, there are no reports of damage. some relief for south bay drivers as a busy stretch of roadway closed for weeks is back open. we want to give you a live look in los altos along el camino

real near north san antonio road, part of which has been closed ever since that christmas day fire. all eastbound lanes were just reopened moments ago. crews are still on the scene. for now, bike lanes and the sidewalk will remain closed. the fire tore through a strip mall that has since been demolished. no one was injured and firefighters have still not revealed if they know what caused the fire. this headline in today's "chronicle" pretty much sums it up, loss vegas. a photo of chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes celebrating in the end zone after the chiefs' overtime touchdown. some things you would rather just stay in vegas. it will be a painful memory for the 49ers faithful. >> this will probably be hard for the faithful to accept, but for the nfl it will down as a classic. >> nbc bay area's raj mathai was in las vegas all week. he takes a closer look at what, for now, is a hard loss to fathom.

>> reporter: 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 types of questions. let me tell you what the niners did last night. they left allegiant stadium and 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, hugs. the owner, john york, 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 vips we saw. post malone, gwen stefani,

lebron james, lady gaga, the whole nine yards. it came down to that overtime drive and patrick mahomes is a lot like tom brady and joe montana, the guy is a legend, when you want to win a game with a minute left, he's the guy. 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. >> job well done. thank you. of course the niners fans were gathering for parties everywhere across the bay area. one of the biggest was thrive city outside of chase center. >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez, biting her nails in overtime along with the rest of us. >> i like my nails short but not this short. still wearing red because there's no shame in their game.

the san francisco 49ers didn't lose the super bowl in my opinion, as much as the kansas city chiefs just kind of won it in those final moments. they had a little more experience there. the niners fans in the stands at allegiant stadium had extra reason to be bummed because they shelled out hundreds of dollars, 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 niners fan today, until the end. we'll get them next year. >> reporter: that second fan watched at thrive city outside the chase center where people celebrated the niners lead with just two minutes left. nbc bay area sky ranger was about six miles away in the mission where there was a install crowd gathered as well. in the south bay, proof that a niners winning season is really a win for the local economy as well. thousands of fans watched at a party at san pedro social in san

jose. i don't have to tell you, it's been 29 years since the niners won a super bowl. they've been, but always the bridesmaid. arm chair quarterbacks are going to do what they do. the 49er faithful is going to do what they do, wait for the next season. >> all that red and gold, just put it in the closet. >> i'm in mourning, wearing black. >> thanks, kris. 6:07 this morning. let's take a live look outside in san francisco. is it because of the super bowl, the gloomy start? >> it's monday. actually, we're coming off a fantastic weekend, though. >> wasn't the weather nice? >> it was gorgeous. >> we had sunshine. it was cold in the mornings, then once we got to the afternoon, it felt pretty good. we do have a cold start again this morning. in dublin it is 36 degrees and 49 in san francisco. we're in the low 40s in oakland and san jose at 47.

you do need to bundle up for the start of the day. as we take a look at our day planner in gilroy, we'll be at 40 degrees at 8:00, a mix of sun and clouds with our temperatures in the 60s this afternoon. most of us in the low 60s from the east bay to the peninsula. in the north bay it will be right at about 60 degrees for a high, and about the same tomorrow before the rain comes in. we'll talk about the timeline of our next storm system. mike has a look at where we can find lower gas prices. >> we're going to start with the bay's best, the good news, in concord, $3.65 at ultra on clayton road. we'll check the city of milpitas for the middle price, city gas milpitas, $3.93 on north main street. and then marin county, stays below 4 bucks with $3.99, a cash deal at the hq fuels on shoreline highway. thanks for sharing, everybody,

on gasbuddy.com. pretty typical pattern. we have this unusual crash for contra costa county. southbound 680, the main street on-ramp there's a crash involving a motorcycle. the rider and the motorcycle itself blocking the fast lane. i'm hearing about injuries now for the motorcycle rider. we're still seeing a slower drive. anywhere south of there is all right getting toward the walnut creek interchange and highway 24. there's the backup at the bay bridge. some folks are held up in contra costa county, others are filling the eastshore freeway. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:09 right now. looming layoffs for a silicon valley giant. coming up, major cuts expected at cisco. plus, a lot of questions in the hopper after a kangaroo gets loose in an apartment complex. the insane chase to capture i t

two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

good monday morning to you. as we take a live look outside in fremont, it's a quiet start to the day, but very chilly with temperatures now in the mid-40s. it will be mostly clear here for the next couple of hours, but then some high clouds filtering the sunshine late morning into the afternoon. we do have some mild temperatures for today and tomorrow. we'll talk about rain coming in on wednesday coming up.

we're looking toward our oakland camera. 880 moves smoothly. you can see a lot more headlights heading southbound and there's low clouds and maybe some fog developing in other parts of the bay. as we look at walnut creek, the flashing lights in the middle of the screen, that's a motorcycle crash. south 680 is jammed up coming out of concord and pleasant hill and toward the walnut creek interchange. we'll give you the latest coming up. >> thank you very much. it is 6:13 right now. wall street is set for a mixed open as the markets come off another positive week. the s&p 500 closing above the 5000 mark for the first time ever. two key reports for inflation, plus data on retail sales, imports and exports, manufacturing and housing. we get earnings from coca-cola, instacart, doordash and airbnb. we might be getting a clearer

idea when cisco is planning to cut staff. the layoffs are part of a restructuring plan which will include laying off thousands of employees. reuters reports an official announcement could come as soon as wednesday during a company earnings call. it's still unclear the exact number. the san jose company has grappled with supply chain issues and a post-pandemic slowdown in demand. cisco has more than 84,000 employees. tesla is temporarily cutting prices on some of its model y cars in the u.s. the company is reducing the price of the rear wheel drive or long range version by $1,000 or roughly 2%. it's happening until the end of the month. the move comes as tesla is warning of notably lower sales growth for this year as it braces for cooler demand in the production of its next generation electric vehicles. trending this morning, a florida apartment complex, florida we're talking about here, was back to normal after

something you might expect to see if you're visiting australia. >> let's just say things were hopping there. take a look. >> we see a kangaroo. >> it's kind of a large kangaroo. we've got it closed in the pool, gated area. >> marcus said this is in florida. this is video posted bid sheriff deputies after a kangaroo got inside a complex's pool area. it happened in tampa last week. deputies were able to return it to its owner, who has legal permits to house it. neither the kangaroo or anyone else was hurt. >> where did it come from? >> i bet that 911 operator was, like, are you drunk or something? what, a kangaroo, really? >> don't they usually have security gates. just hopped right over it. >> got some hops. >> some skills.

let's talk about this weather. today it's going to be pretty nice. >> it's going to be another nice day, even though it is starting out cold and we have some fog drifting around. this afternoon is going to be another one very much like yesterday, where we have some mild temperatures and sunshine, and it's also going to be dry tomorrow as well, as our temperatures reach into the low to mid-60s. wednesday is when the rain will be coming back and it looks like it's going to be a fairly weak storm system, about a half an inch of rainfall, with a bigger storm system expected friday through the weekend that could bring in higher rainfall totals, as well as gusty winds. we talked about fog moving around the north bay, the areas shaded in gray are under a dense fog advisory until 10:00. visibility may be a quarter mile or less so you want to allow some extra time to get to work. we've seen the worst of that fog around novato, as well as in santa rosa, with half mile visibility there. elsewhere it is mostly clear and hopefully we will see that it's

staying that way for the next couple of hours. then we're headed for the low 50s and '60s, 59 in san mateo, as well as napa and novato. we will have about the same temperatures tomorrow as the sunshine continues, but then moving ahead the climate prediction center is saying this upcoming weekend into next week we are going to see above average rainfall, well above average rainfall for parts of the bay area. and so here is the changes that we're going to see. so this first system coming in with a cold front brings us a quick round of rain, and then for the weekend, definitely more active weather pattern setting up with an atmospheric river coming in that will give us a couple of days of rainfall. looking ahead, what some of the computer models are showing, the lighter shades of purple shows about 2 1/2 to 3 inches of rain in the north bay and then the

peninsula toward the south bay could see about 2 inches of rainfall in total. so it's going to be a very soggy weekend, and the ground is still pretty wet. so we do have a couple more days to dry out, prepare for that rain, and then it's going to be off and on from valentine's day through the end of the weekend. mike, what's the update on that crash? >> unfortunately, we did hear there are major injuries associated with this crash. we talked about a motorcycle rider and we are concerned because there's not as much protection for someone on a motorcycle. as far as the traffic flow goes, it looks like there's a lot more traffic traveling past the scene. there may be just one lane blocked. this is at the main street on-ramp, so traffic is jammed up southbound 680 coming toward the scene. here is main street. if you jump on at ignacio valley road, you are clear. the second crash looks like it's completely cleared from the freeway. here are folks off kirker pass as well. the cut-through off of highway

4. the backup is now from 242 all the way down to about main street. the rest of contra costa county looks all right. there is a build for concord and highway 4. you can see it's southbound 680 that bears the most impact. this takes that route into consideration and kirker pass does make the cut-through. you're still at the standard 22 minutes coming off highway 4 and toward walnut creek from pittsburg. the rest of the bay, a smooth drive. southbound 680 and walnut creek at main street is where the crash is affecting traffic there because it's very visible and we're, of course, concerned about the motorcycle rider there. back to you. >> 6:20 this morning. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> she's waited a couple of years for a company to replace a product. then her patience ran out so she ran to us. ran to us. m consui'me

a follow-up this morning, angry family members are demanding answers after a marine helicopter crash killed five service members in southern california. this happened last wednesday. the chopper crashed in extremely rugged terrain while returning from nevada to its home base outside of san diego. the marines say that crash is still under investigation and it happened during some of the strongest storms in years.

some believe weather may have played a big factor here, which has the father of one young lance corporal and former navy pilot himself asking why. >> i've flown that route many times. i was in shock after i had heard that 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 of this 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 exerciseness severe weather. secretary of defense lloyd austin is back in the hospital, according to a statement from the 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 in a recall runaround. >> consumer investigator chris chmura and his team stepped in. >> good morning. diana in san ramon bought this, a $950 philips medical device that helps you breathe while sleeping. it's called a cpap, continuous positive airway pressure. diana says she got a recall notice in 2021 and has been waiting ever since for a replacement. she says she can't get a straight answer from philips. so she asked us for help. we sent philips an email. it took action and ultimately gave diana $500 so she can buy a new cpap. we asked philips for a statement but it didn't reply. recalls are, unfortunately, part of life today. the best way to know if any of

your stuff is ever recalled is to register it right after you buy it. there's a bonus to filling out the registration card for some products. for example, i bought a tv that included a one-year warranty or three years if i registered it. well, lo and behold, i needed warranty service in year three, and thankfully i had registered the set right after i bought it. you can register your consumer gripes with us. scan this qr code to fill out our consumer complaint form online. 6:25 right now. there's a lot more ahead at 6:30, including elon musk could soon be heading to the stand. the new order issued overnight by a judge in the investigation over his acquisition of twitter. plus, flames and smoke interrupt lunar new year celebrations in san francisco over the weekend. ahead we'll tell you what we know about the viral moments showing a driverless car that

was set on fire. you want to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo.

right now at 6:30, crowds set a waymo car on fire during san francisco lunar new year celebrations. live this morning with the new response from some leaders calling this the latest hit for the city's recently tattered reputation. plus, marking 20 years of same-sex marriage. we're moving you forward with

how san francisco once defied laws in favor of equality and the fears that it may end at any moment. they had it, for sure. it was one wrong move. >> i'm still a fan today and will be a niners fan until the end. we'll get them next year. >> we came up just a little short. from san francisco to vegas, the faithful are reeling from last night's not so super finish. find out how the team is reflecting on a painful ending to a remarkable season. this is "today in the bay." i was going to call it shake it off monday, but i don't want to do that. good morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at that forecast today. meteorologist kari hall is tracking temperatures across the bay area. nice and clear in some of those spots. >> it's clear in some spots. other areas are dealing with dense fog. in the north bay we're seeing

the fog creating the lowest visibility. as we're starting out, it is cold in dublin with a clear 36 degrees there. it is 49 in san francisco. san jose at 47 to start. once again, the fog moving around the north bay may slow you down for the drive to work or school. in martinez it is mostly clear, but it is chilly. in the upper 30s right now. we'll see high clouds filtering sunshine today as it slowly climbs out of those upper 30s and heads for the upper 50s. we'll talk about a dry start to our weekend, some midweek rain. mike, you're starting with changes in the south bay. >> absolutely. we're taking a look over here, the live shot is the intersection of el camino with san antonio. we had the closure of part of el camino one direction since the day after christmas when there was a fire at that mini mall. they've reopened the portion of the roadway just underneath the lights, so now all directions are open once again. critical connecter between the shopping mall in mountain view

and los altos as well. armadillo willy's, i eat there a lot. out on the roadways, walnut creek, things have cleared up. this is a smooth ride, southbound 680, all lanes are clear and recovering now. look at how much slowing there is in the area. there was a big backup where i've circled. it's recovering from 242 down into the walnut creek interchange. that will release a lot more traffic toward the caldecott tunnel. the bay bridge is looking a little lighter. with all those folks coming from contra costa county, they'll probably fill them in in a few minutes. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:31 right now. developing this morning, trying to get to the bottom of what's a viral moment in the midst of san francisco's lunar new year celebrations. police are investigating who is responsible for setting a driverless car on fire. >> "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live in san francisco. have we heard any word of any arrests at this point?

>> reporter: well, there have been no arrests at this point, but we're told there are promising leads. this morning san francisco police still looking into this act of vandalism. fortunately, no one was inside the waymo car when it was set on fire, but you could see how easily this could have been a different story. video circulating online show just what a fiery scene it was on jackson street around 9:00 saturday night. that is when waymo says a crowd vandalized the car and broke its window. someone also threw a firework inside which set the car on fire. san francisco board of supervisors president aaron peskin says the timing for locals and tourists was terrible. >> it is extremely dangerous, buildings could have been lit on fire, people could have been hurt. and most importantly, this was the day of the chinese lunar new year. this is one of the most

important days for families. there were thousands and thousands of tourists here partaking in the event. >> reporter: in a statement, waymo said in part the vehicle was not transporting any riders and no injuries have been reported. we are working closely with local safety officials to respond to the situation. now, it is not clear why the crowd was gathered around the waymo in the first place, but with the video circulating online, authorities do hope they can find leads that will eventually lead to some sort of accountability. >> most definitely. a lot of cameras around. thank you, ginger. 6:33 this morning. new for you, a federal judge is ordering elon musk to testify in the u.s. securities exchange commission probe concerning his 2022 acquisition of twitter, now known as x. the agency is investigating whether musk or anyone else committed securities fraud as the billionaire began buying shares of twitter. commissioners are seeking his

testimony on whether to follow the law when filing the paperwork with twitter stock purchases. musk's legal team are arguing that investigation is frivolous. customers who lost money in the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange company ftx might get their money back. this is all according to lawyers representing the bankruptcy estate of ftx. they are now working on a strategy to repay its customers. some experts say that it could impact next month's sentencing of ftx cofounder sam bankman-fried, and he was found guilty in november of fraud, facing decades in prison after nearly $10 billion went missing. to a live look at allegiant stadium in las vegas. you might call it the scene of a crime. at least some of the faithful will believe the chiefs stole a super bowl win last night from our niners.

fans are left asking why. probably replaying a small series of missteps that led to the niners' vulnerable end. "today in the bay"'s anthony flores has the team's reaction. good morning from las vegas. the 49ers quest for six ends in heartbreak after losing an overtime thriller to the kansas city chiefs in super bowl lviii. the 49ers meeting the chiefs for the second time in the last five seasons. second quarter up 3-0, the niners reaching into their bag of tricks with a double pass, to jennings and then christian mccaffrey. 21 yards for the score. the niners had a 10-0 lead. the momentum and the game changed on a third quarter turnover during a kansas city chiefs punt, the ball hits off the foot of darrell luter. then a 16 yard touchdown pass

gave the chiefs their first lead of the game, 13-10. the 49ers retake the lead in the fourth on a ten yard touchdown pass. the extra point was blocked so the lead is 3. both teams exchange field goals. with three seconds to go in regulation, the game went into overtime with a 29 yard field goal. the score is 19-19. jake moody boots a 27-yarder to give the 49ers a three-point lead, but the chiefs answered. mahomes drives kc 75 yards for the game-winning score, a touchdown pass to hardman. the chiefs go back to back and beat the 49ers 25-22 in overtime. mahomes is your mvp. for the niners, it's heartbreak all over again. >> it starts with coach. that's who i hurt for. i hurt for all the other guys, our whole team. what we've been through the last year. it hasn't been easy. you know, 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. >> regardless of how this game, the outcome of it was, i'm still going to start training soon, i'm still going to get ready for next season. that stuff doesn't change. so it's just something that i try to focus on. >> it's not something that just words or anything makes it feel better. you sit there and deal with it and you've got to do that for a while. i'm so proud of brock, how he shows up every week, how he plays. he had an unbelievable year and did a hell of a job today. >> reporter: the kansas city chiefs have won three super bowl titles in the last five seasons. if you're looking for a bright spot for the 49ers, here it is. despite the heartbreaking loss to kc, they have opened up as a super bowl favorites for next season. in las vegas, anthony flores for "today in the bay." 6:38 right now. moving you forward in the fight for marriage equality. and today marking a major bay area milestone.

20 years ago san francisco started issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. the city and then mayor gavin newsom defied federal and state laws. over the next month, more than 4,000 marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples. the unions were eventually nullified. 11 years later, the u.s. supreme court ruled same-sex marriages could be federally recognized. some fear a high court may revisit the issue and overturn the way the same way abortion access was reversed. taking a peek outside. look at that. almost looks like lavender skies over san jose on this monday morning. coming off a great weekend. better enjoy it today as well. >> yes, we have today and tomorrow with dry weather, and then rain will be back just in time for valentine's day. we are starting out with temperatures in the mid-30s from livermore to dublin. it's 44 now in martinez and 37 degrees in sonoma. it's a chilly start in the north bay with some patchy dense fog.

santa rosa will see the fog linger through 8:00, clearing out around 10:00. but then just staying mostly cloudy with some peeks of sunshine for the afternoon with temperatures in the upper 50s. we'll hit a high of 62 in san jose, as well as los gatos, and into the day tomorrow, about the same before the rain arrives. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike, you're saying the commute is building through the east bay. >> it is, and you can see the volume build on the westbound san mateo bridge. not a lot of brake tapping. we see more traffic flowing southbound and there will be brake tapping as you head past an earlier crash just past industrial for southbound 880. there's more slowing past the 92 interchange and then more slowing again because there's another crash at the stevenson on-ramp on 880. no lanes of the freeway are blocked. it's just activity there visibility from the freeway itself. that's the build for the east bay. we do have some recovery in this part of the east bay.

contra costa county, southbound 680 continues to recover from 242 to the walnut creek interchange. 242 does ripple back toward highway 4, so this stretch has got your backup and slowing as it recovers from two crashes that happened earlier. more slowing through richmond and also toward the richmond bridge. that's where i'm going to let you know about a change in configuration. we have the backup in these lanes. there you go. a larger truck. over to the right we had the right three lanes of the toll plaza that have been blocked off because of a crash that happened last year. they've reopened the one critical lane allowing the larger vehicles. they've been able to open the wider lane. one lane open for larger vehicles across the richmond bridge. that will mean for larger trucks and more congestion depending on when you head across the span. everything else is moving smoothly for the peninsula and the south bay. 101 and 87 now start to show some slowing. back to you. >> thanks, mike.

pickleball's rising popularity is hitting a sour note. players be ware. the warning from factors, and findings showing certain types of injuries are skyrocketing. plus, broke the internet again. >> did you post this? >> no. not on purpose. >> it's coming in hot. >> it's verizon 5g. i bet you can't break that. >> i bet i can. >> beyonce attempting to break the internet on a super bowl commercial. you know what? that's not really what's got the hive buzzing this morning. the announcement that has fans reaching for their cowboy hats and boots.

two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

on. 680 does have a second jam, coming up. new overnight, israeli forces carrying out a daring mission in gaza, rescuing two hostages who have been held by hamas for four months in rafah. both the older israeli men have been reunited with their lovld ones and are recovering at a hospital in israel. this comes as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is threatening to move troops into rafah. the united nations and the u.s. have strongly warned against this move. we are learning that president joe biden spoke with netanyahu overnight. there's also new reporting from nbc news that biden has been critical of netanyahu privately, saying that netanyahu wants this war to drag on. two boaters may be a little shaken up this morning, but they're doing fine thanks to a quick response last night from firefighters and coast guard crews. nbc bay area sky ranger was overhead as teams brought the two to safety when their boat began taking on water in

hazardous surf near baker beach. firefighters towed the boat to shore. it's not clear why the boat ran into trouble. pickleball's skyrocketing popularity is leading to more serious injuries for players. the american academy of orthopedic surgeons says that fractures related to the sport doubled over the past 20 years. the vast majority of fractures are caused by falling. other common injuries include torn rotator cuffs, worsening arthritis, and stress fractures. the party in las vegas is officially over this morning. >> not before usher and a slew of celebrity guests took to the stage for a lively halftime show performance. ♪♪ >> las vegas!

where my bad girls at? ♪♪ >> usher joined by alicia keys, lil jon and ludacris. the singer performed a medley of hits, including "caught up" and last month usher posted on social media that the performance was, quote, 30 years in the making. quite the show there. >> it was. also trending, beyonce used her super bowl ad to announce exciting news. >> i thought you meant in the sphere. >> no, on the sphere. >> how about the first woman to launch the first rocket for the first performance in space? >> verizon didn't break. >> you ain't gonna break me. >> still works.

>> okay, they're ready. drop the new music. >> that's how it began. the commercial from verizon, the singer attempts to break the internet by pulling off some incredible stunt, and as you heard, she ends the ad by announcing part 2 of her renaissance project. she released two new country singles. ♪♪ ♪ down down down ♪ >> she's from texas. there you have it. that is a sample. she also released another country track called "16 carriages" and the album will drop march 29th. >> very cool. >> we were talking about it, she was wearing a cowboy hat during

the grammys, kind of setting the stage. >> what's interesting was that, to me, anyway, because i enjoyed that verizon commercial, i disregarded the stuff until i went, wait, this is not fake. >> at the end i'm standing there, like, wait, does this mean there's a new album? people in the room where i was, we were like, wait, wait, and five minutes later, this girl was like, my gosh, it's a single. >> there you go. got everybody talking. >> and we're still talking. >> still hasn't broken verizon yet. >> not yet. let's get started this morning with a clear view for most of us, but it's also very chilly. we've had a lot of dense fog moving around the north bay and we're seeing that over the golden gate bridge right now, with some mist and drizzle on the camera lens and low visibility as you're coming in from the north bay, where we have some very dense fog to starting out. as we go into the afternoon, it's going to be dry today and

tomorrow, temperatures about normal. then on wednesday the rain will be back. it looks like it's going to be a weak storm system, about a tenth to a half inch of rainfall, and a bigger storm system with higher rainfall totals and gusty winds coming in for the weekend. let's check in on the visibility now. in santa rosa, that's about a quarter of a mile. it has improved in novato, but the way you're driving through the north bay it's not just at those airport locations. so just a heads-up that visibility may drop off and increase as we go into the next couple of hours. so we're looking at temperatures today headed for the low 60s for hayward, mountain view, a high of 60 degrees, 60 in livermore and 62 in concord. tomorrow it's about the same. we're not going to see a major change in temperatures, even as we go throughout the week. then by wednesday rain will be back. and that first wave of rain coming in on valentine's day is going to be in and out of here fairly quickly. then by the end of the week we'll have a slow-moving

atmospheric river that could bring in a couple of days of rainfall. and some of our models are showing that between friday and early next week we could see the potential of about 2 1/2 to 3 inches of rainfall for the north bay, and then in red parts of the peninsula into the east bay could see about 1 1/2 to possibly 2 inches of rainfall. while we get rain, the sierra gets snow. if you do have weekend plans to go there, travel is going to be very difficult as we could see anywhere from 8 to 19 inches of snowfall, up to 31 inches of snow possible for i-80 and going through kingvale. so heads up, you might want to stay a little closer to home where we are going to see that rain coming down, gusty winds on saturday and sunday. so we do have still a couple more days to start out this week and enjoy a bit of sunshine. mike, you're seeing a little bit more slowing now for contra costa county? >> yeah. that's pretty typical. it's where and how we see it

distributed. no surprises for this portion getting off of the benicia bridge or onto the richmond bridge. over here, walnut creek, we had two earlier crashes. jammed it up through pleasant hill. 680 recovers. we knew we were going to see more slowing at the interchange. it continues south. no other incidents reported in that area right now. we do see slowing through that portion. so watch contra costa county again. a smooth drive on the east bay, across the bridges, filling up the volume. no major concerns. as we look toward the south bay, a smooth drive with 101 slowing a little early and 87 building into downtown. back to you. >> thank you very much. 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 dollar california campaign that was awarded as part of 2021's american rescue plan act. low to moderate homeowners are eligible for up to $80,000 in
