dying shark. behavior not normal one observer says. >> he almost came out of the water a few times right up on the shore. >> but rescue isn't easy. when volunteers carry the ray to open water, it swam right back. >> the bat rays nor the sharks are starving. >> they can typically survive a lot of pollutants in the water and a lot of adverse living conditions. so to see one die indicates that something has happened to the eco system. >> today investigators from the shark research foundation were leaning toward a not so obvious explanation. suffocation. reportsreports -- the simplest explanation may be diminished water quality resulting from flood gates designed to hold water in the lagoons even as tides go out. without the tide, the water is depleted of oxygen.

it's charging a whopping 5.69 check out this station in orlando, florida. there might be a reason why there's no prices posted. it is charging $5.69 per gallon. according to several gas price tracking sites, it is the highest price in the nation.

many tourists used the station before returning rental cars on the way to the airport. customers are upset because by the time they realize how expensive the gas is, they already stopped to fill her up. and if gas prices are too high, you may want to check out wal-mart's new delivery service. they are testing home delivery in san jose. it is called wal-mart to go. customers can order groceries, health, and beauty products and household supplies and have them delivered right to their house at a specified time. wal-mart is facing increased competition from sites like amazon.com. no word on if they'll test delivery in other cities. a computer outage at amazon.com is in its third day and causing interruptions at dozens of websites who rent space on their server. a spokesperson said the company has made some progress fixing the problem, but it's not happening as quickly as amazon would like. it's unclear how many people are impacted by the outage.

you got that lawrence? spending too much money. >> peeps are essential spending. how do you pass those little things? >> and they last for a year. >> folks outside tonight, we have a lot of clouds but the showers diminished. boy, there's not a whole lot of energy with the storm system moving on by. but you get the idea. the clouds will pass tonight. there's a weak cold front that will slide on shore overnight tonight. that will reinvigorate the chance for showers developing later on tonight and in toward tomorrow morning. all right, let's take a look at the forecast as we head in toward tomorrow. we are expecting cloudy skies on easter sunday. there's a slight chance of showers around the bay area. it's going to be very, very light. bring an umbrella with you and you'll be fine. a lot of 60s showing up elsewhere. outside right now, a lot of 50s. we have clouds moving on through. some partial clearing this towards the san francisco area right now. as you travel around the state, you'll find a mixed bag. you have mild temperatures and

partly cloudy skies in fresno, but if you head further to the north, showers in the sacramento valley and the high country. we are looking at showers in that direction. not snow, but too warm. we are going to see showers there. rain becoming likely. more significant storm system going to drop into the bay area and end up in the mountains. so here we go. not much on the satellite image. just a weak line here and that's your system, very warm frontal system that is moving through the bay area. it is bring to bring with it a slight chance of showers. i think as we head through the afternoon, things should begin to taper off. the latest computer run is showing showers. midnight tonight and widely scattered rain drops outside. maybe some heavy drizzle, that's about it. and as we head toward tomorrow morning, looks like things begin to pick up about sunrise or so as we are going to see showers moving on through. widely scattered and it's going to be hit and miss throughout the day. not a major rain event.

if you get .5 of an inch of rain fall, that's a good amount. maybe we'll squeeze a little sunshine. not going to be enough to melt those chocolate eggs outside. those temperatures mainly in the mid 60s inland. 60s inside the bay and 50s out toward the coast. how about the next couple days? we have that stronger system likely to drop down on monday to bring more rain to the bay area. that looks more substantial than the one coming through for tomorrow. as we head in towards tuesday, we have 70s beginning to show up as high pressure begins to sneak in and looking a little like spring. we're going to warm things up on wednesday and on thursday, probably going to stay dry into next weekend. the next couple days, easter is a tough call. all the kids want to be out there. maybe a little damp in the morning. >> it looks like spring on the set right now. >> it does. >> a little pastel. all right lawrence, thank you. well it's a fruity drink with the alcohol equivalent of five beers. the state wants it off store

shelves. it's called colt 45 blast, also known as binge in a can. it sells for as low as $3 a can. now the california attorney general is joining with 18 other ag's to urge its manufactures to stop making it. >> it's designed to encourage young folks to engage in binge drinking and it's something that all people should be concerned about. >> the manufacture put out a statement saying blast is meant for those above legal drinking age and that the alcohol content is clearly marked on the packaging. rebels in libya are claiming a major victory tonight. why leaders are reacting with caution. plus kate's wedding dress revealed. it's just around the corner. how britain's future princess is changing the future of fashion.

something more lean and long versus the opulance of diana. >> i would like to see her in something modern. i think it will be nice to see both. cleaner lines. >> no matter the style of the dress, the veil, even the diamond accessories she might add to it. there's no question kate middleton's wedding gown will set off trends for brides for years to come. >> tho doubt. i for one am excited to see that happen. to kind of switch gears up a little bit. we've seen a certain look for a long time. >> if she comes up the aisle, the world is watching. >> not only is it watching, but they are going to be sketchy and starting a whole new trend, which will be nice because maybe she will say you don't have to bare everything to look gorgeous. >> she has that long beautiful hair. do you think she'll wear it up?

>> i think she is going to probably have it mostly up. i think again maybe the tradition having it off your face for this particular ceremony with the tiarra. >> white or ivory? >> i'm going to say ivory. white is a hard color for a lot of brides. >> whatever kate middleton decides upon is a huge secret. even prince william won't know until she arrives. but for a designer like denise, it's fun to speculate. >> we all say this and in the end, we all might be surprised. >> all right, as for who actually got an invite, the full guest list was revealed today. many of the 1900 people invited have already been confirmed, including soccer star david beckham and his wife victoria. now we know that guy richie and josh stone and mr. bean actor will also be there. only a few guests will get to see the ceremony close up. most of the tenants will have a
