with just two days to go untilled florida primary, the polls show gop frontrunner mitt romney increasing his lead over newt gingrich leading now by 15 points. but two familiar and controversial republicans came out this weekend for newt gingrich. nbc's peter alexander has the latest. >> reporter: with strong poll numbers showing him in the driver's seat, mitt romney didn't let off the gas at the largest rally of his entire campaign, taking another swipe at newt gingrich. >> he's now finding excuses everywhere he can. he's on tv this morning going from station to station kplaening about what he thinks

were the reasons he's had difficulty here in florida. but you know, we've got a president who has a lot of excuses. and the excuses are over. it's time to produce. >> reporter: this morning, gingrich once again challenged romney's honesty. >> this is a smart man. you point out he was well coached. he came into the debate prepared to say things that are false. >> reporter: later calling himself a legitimate heir to the reagan movement, gingrich toughened his stance. attacking romney as a liberal. >> i think we'll be very, very clear and increasingly clear over the next few weeks this party is not going for nominate somebody who is a pro abortion, pro gun control, pro tax increase liberal. >> reporter: gingrich's confrontation with the republican establishment got a boost from sarah palin this weekend who called on voters to defiantly play the role of spoiler. and herman cain who fired up the tea party with his 9-9-9 tax proposal endorsed gingrich saturday night. >> speaker gingrich is not afraid of bold ideas.

can. right now family comes first. he's being a dad and husband right now. >> reporter: peter alexander, nbc news, new york. timmicly the republican presidential nominee is decided well before california's june 5th primary. but it turns out california conservatives might just have an influence this year after all. a former gop strategist told the mercury news that in one scenario newt gingrich and mitt romney could keep pace with each other long enough for california to weigh in. in another and entirely new candidate could enter the race, meaning the nomination will come down to the final primaries perhaps. california has 172 delegates, and if they're spread out among several candidates that number could impact the nomination. in all, about 2200 delegates with up for grabs and a candidate eventually needs a majority to clinch the nomination at the national convention. and that is in august. and so the group of south bay parents came together to save what they say is a community treasure. and building a home one car at a time, the berkeley constructions project giving what many

california's largest skate park is in san jose. and it was saved from closure thanks to some community help. lake cunningham regional skate park would have been left as awn staffed free for all, privatized or even padlocked had it not been for the parents fundraising. the 68,000 square foot maze of a park was built in 2008 mostly with city funds. but last summer's budget crisis left just enough money to keep the park open until september. since then parents have raised enough funds to keep it open until the end of the year. the skate park draws 40,000 visitors every year. there are many different ways to build a home. but one couple has set the creative bar very high. friends of theirs call it deep green. nbc bay area's tracey grant shows us how a home built using

recycled auto parts and shipping containers. check it out. >> it's salvaged car roofs. that's what that is right there. with the paint on and everything. that's the color of whatever car was in the junk yard. >> reporter: 104 roofs from cars make up the aluminum siding of this two-bedroom home. the front and back awnings are even more unusual. >> above that is dodge caravan side windows. >> reporter: look closely. you can almost picture the minivans these windows came from. kate and her husband have taken green architect to another level. >> on our own project here we decided to put some of the ideas we've been working with over the years a little farther than perhaps we could do on our clients. >> reporter: the city of berkeley prides itself on its recycling efforts. the couple says not every city would be thrilled about concrete floor containing fly ash, which is recycled from burning coal, or the walls made of popular bark which used to be considered waste in the north carolina

furniture industry. the architect' work in a studio made from a shipping container that ledger says has been around the world eight or nine times before it ended up in their backyard. >> they're not very expense i've and really really strong. they're ten times stronger than they need to be to meet the building codes. >> i really wanted to do it in a way that transformed the junk into something artistic. >> reporter: he says he ripped off some of the redwood siding off his house a few years ago and left it in a pile on the street. >> a lot of it was splintered. it's now part of the fence. they made the fence posts out of it. so anything and everything is recyclable. go green. >> reporter: in berkeley, tracey grant, nbc bay area news. >> all right. that was pretty cool. let's check in with meteorologist ron mayeda checking out the weather. a little bit of a change tomorrow, rod? >> we're going to see more clouds and maybe underneath som of the clouds a little bit of

mist or drizzle. in the case of the north bay possibly a few showers. show you the temperatures outside right now. not a bad finish to your sunday evening. as you can see we're in the 40s and 50s odd. 55 in san francisco where by the way the onshore winds are starting to pick back up. that's going to pump in more low clouds and moisture into the air. with the cloud coming in on top of the marine layer which will start to sweep into the inner bay we should see more mild temperatures, not those low 30s we've seen over the last couple of mornings. so tomorrow morning we'll have mostly cloudy skies. chance of showers around the north bay and maybe a few sprinkles around the rest of the bay area for your monday morning commute. for the next two days thanks to a stronger sea breeze temperatures will be cooling off a little bit. air quality improving tomorrow with the sea breeze coming back and slight chance of a few sprinkles there throughout the bay area. air quality not looking so bad. but the radar still looks kind of lonely outside. we have to head up to the north coast to find the rain.

good around eureka. but northern sonoma county will see probably a few showers out of this while the rest of the bay area looks at more clouds spilling in for your for your morning. we do have the jet stream dropping a little bit further to the south over the next couple of days. this will bring us a mixed bag of clouds between today through about tuesday. we'll see cooling temperatures, drizzle likely along the coast over the next two days. showers staying off to the north. we're talking north of the north bay. temperatures coming down a little bit for the first half of the week. starting thursday high pressure is going to build in and strongly at that. we'll see offshore winds picking up that should bring our temperatures maybe into the 70s by friday. so the dry pattern is resetting itself as we approach next weekend. temperatures climbing up for the second half of the week. hour-by-hour with your forecast you saw a little bit of afternoon clearing tomorrow. towards the evening more low clouds and coastal drizzle again. as we show you the numerical models to give you an idea of how much rain we're expecting,

you see here maybe a drizzle storm because that is not a lot. .02 inch of rain. for the bay area not a lot of snow. you can see it clearly there in the futurecast for snowfall. temperatures tonight in the 40s thanks to the cloud cover. so the overnight temperatures not quite as cold. daytime temperatures, though, will be cooling down just a little bit for tomorrow. 62 degrees in san jose for tomorrow. also low 60s around the trivalley. 50s into the inner bay, san francisco to san rafael and 62 degrees in santa rosa. we will see more clouds now through about wednesday. a few sprinkles here and there. the second half of the week look at the temperatures towards thursday and friday. we'll see those numbers climbing i think by friday trivalley and areas south of san jose could get to the mid 70s by the time we get close to the start of next weekend. by next sunday as everyone's watching the super bowl here on nbc, maybe some north bay showers again. a very dry seven-day forecast

getting into february. >> thanks a lot, rob. when we come back we'll take you to indianapolis for a preview of supek. week.k did you know this super bowl is making history? we'll show you how.

but for the kiddos as well. >> reporter: it's the first time the big game has been played in the midwest. >> three hours from chicago, three hours from lexington. not that big of a deal to come in and enjoy the weekend. >> reporter: this weekend, thousands have. >> i've never been anywhere close to the super bowl. so it's really cool that it's here. >> reporter: it's fun and games for more than 150,000 fans expected in indianapolis. but there are a couple of groups coming to town for work next weekend. the patriots left new england after a rowdy sendoff it afternoon. >> we're going down there. we're going down there for one reason. we're going to give it our best. and hopefully we have a lot more people at our party next weekend. >> reporter: the giants will make the trip tomorrow. >> feels great. i mean, it's hard to find all the right words to describe it. this is the culmination of a lot of people's careers. when you get a chance to get to a super bowl you have to enjoy
