>> good morning. thanks for joining us on this monday morning, 4:59, seconds away from 5:00. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> good morning everybody. i'm jon kelley. let's check in with meteorologist christina loren. it feels like we hit the power lotto on this weather. gorgeous sunshine. >> and winter. hard to believe we're in the heart of winter right now. we're going to see another spring-like day. we do have fog developing, you'll notice visibility dropping off along the golden gate bridge and other bodies of water. temperatures are nice and mild because we have a blanket of clouds. we're going to see a nice afternoon because we're starting out so warm. and our rain chances, yeah, dwindling quickly. we've got a big weekend coming up so we'll talk about that. first let's get to the drive with mike inouye. >> not as big as we wished for. the approach to the city with northbound 280 at 101, reports of a disabled vehicle there and we don't see major slowing on the maps but we'll continue to check that as well as the nice

run up their electric bill. the pot clubs use extensive electricity to help the plants grow. and it made a huge security risk fearing break-ins and robberies might occur. the city wanted to raise the pot tax from 7% to 10%. but club owners fought back and gathered 31,000 signatures to repeal the city's rules. that couple with potential changes in the pot rules out of sacramento and the mayor told the "mercury news" he's backing off. at wednesday's rules committee meeting the mayor will ask to put the matter on the february 14th city council agenda. all of these dispensaries, more than 100 of them, some of them are not zoned correctly so that needs to be addressed but they all have to pay the 7% tax. that's huge for the coffers of san jose, generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in pot tax every month. live in san jose.

pretty vocal about the restrictions. good morning. >> reporter: medmar put pressure on the city to change course. they said the proposed new rules would cripple their business model. they are only paying 7% tax, pot tax it's called, to the city. the city wanted to raise that to 10%. san jose wanted the dispensaries to grow their own pot on site. club owners argued that would force their electric bills to sky rocket and they worried what it would do to security. the owners gathered 31,000 signatures to repeal the rules. couple that with the potential change to the rules from sacramento, and the mayor has decided to raise the white flag. he'll ask rules committee on wednesday to put the matter on the february 14th city council agenda. there he is expected to ask the council to hold off on those new

regulations. there are more than 100 pot clubs throughout the city of san jose. all of them have to pay the 7% tax. a lot of them are not zoned correctly so that issue has to be addressed first. again, the city is raising hundreds of thousands of dollars each month in pot tax. live in san jose. damian trujillo, "today in the bay." >> thank you. it's 5:31. police are searching for two people they say are responsible for stabbing four men following a weekend wedding. police say it happened in half moon bay in front of the ides hall on main street. the victims were leaving a reception when they were attacked. all suffered serious injury but expected to survive. police are looking for two men and a motive. >> oakland now cleaning up after one of the most chaotic occupy protests in months. the protesters broke into buildings including city hall. bob redell is live on the day after the weekend.

batons, and tear gas. officers say they were responding to all of the objects thrown at them. these clashes started saturday when demonstrators tried to block into a convention center tymca and city hall. police tell us that three officers and at least two protesters were hurt. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> a small group of people who say they support the occupy movement rallied against the violence. >> violence should not be in oakland. if we're going to be occupying a boundary to help people we can't cross those boundaries and have violence and destruction of property and people's rights. dr. king marched for nonviolence. >> a handful of leaders gathered for what they called a peace and

didn't have to deal with this. this morning mostly cloudy, sunny by this afternoon. by about noon the sun will be out warming us up. daypart forecast works like this. 62 degrees inland at noon. it's going to be cooler as per usual at the coast and by the bay. but not too bad ending up in the 60s at noon. we'll round out the day with plenty of mid to upper 60s. i'll get to the temperatures for today in my next forecast and we'll get to the 7-day as well. first, let's get you to work on time with mike inouye. >> well, sort of on schedule. we see slowing for highway 4, as you head through antioch, this westbound direction shows you that heading over to somersville. it's kicking in stronger for longer than we see. further south, 580 westbound out of the altamont pass. we don't see that much slowing so we have an 18-minute drive.

unusual is this stretch heading all the way to vasco. and slowing into pleasanton and the dublin interchange. this may be a sign of heavier monday commute kicking in right now. we'll show you how things are over the water. that's the san mateo bridge. either side looking standard. but again, the early slowing, heavier for antioch and livermore may indicate heavier flow into the bay. back to you. >> mike, appreciate it. the men's u.s. figure skating chance wrapped up with a familiar name. jeremy abbott winning his third national championship in the last four years. nailing a quadruple toe loop to open. word on the street that's extremely difficult. the 26-year-old held onto his lead from his short program on friday, and adam rippon by more

shows that he is definitely gaining momentum. 42% to newt gingrich's 27% right now. and in that poll shows everyone else is exactly that. rick santorum struggling with 16%. ron paul who isn't campaigning in florida has 11%. there are 4% undecided. with rick santorum out of florida taking care of his ailing daughter, heading out west to resume his campaign, it is essentially a two-man contest between gingrich and romney, and they are blasting away at each other. >> i believe the republican party will not nominate a pro aborti abortion, pro gun control, pro tax increase moderate from massachusetts. >> he is looking for some kind of excuse but i'm afraid the real reason he hasn't been successful connecting with the people of florida is because of his message and his failure to connect to the needs of the people in this state.

>> reporter: romney is beating his fellow republicans in that nbc news poll, but it also shows that romney is trailing president obama, 49% to 41%. >> thank you, brian. typically the republican presidential nominee is decided well before california's prosecute i mary but it turns out this year california conservatives could end up having a serious impact. the "mercury news" reports that in one scenario newt gingrich and mitt romney could keep pace long enough for california to matter. in another a new candidate could enter the race, meaning it would come down to the final primary. there are 172 delegates in california compared to 50 for florida. >> 5:43 now. we're learning more about the massive pileup in florida that ended up killing ten people. marla tellez joins us live. she has all of the latest

details. >> mother nature may not be entirely at fault. an arsonist could be. at least a dozen cars and six tractor-trailers collided on interstate 75 in gainesville early yesterday morning. all along officials said heavy fog and smoke in the area are to blame. this morning investigators are saying a nearby fire that started saturday may have been intentionally set. so far that fire burns more than 60 acres. 18 people are recovering in the hospital. more trouble at the tofukushima plant. almost eight tons of contaminated water leaked from the plant. more leaks have been found and more than a dozen places. officials are stressing the leaking water has been contained and has not spilled out of that plant. >> it could be almost a year before the capsized cruise ship

is removed. officials say the process could take 10 months which means the eye sore could be visible during the height of summer tourism. searches continue as more than a dozen people remain missing. bad weather has delayed efforts to remove the 500,000 gallons of fuel. >> marla, thank you for the update. the senate taking a test vote on a measure to prevent insider trading among members of congress. president obama urging congress now to pass the stock act. >> send me a bill that bans insider trading by members of congress, i'll sign it tomorrow. >> the senate version of the bill barred lawmakers from trading stocks based on information from congress briefings. under the bill any one who violates could be subject to

investigation and prosecution. >> some tense moments for passengers aboard a delta flight from las vegas. as the jet landed at the detroit airport it skidded off the runway. what's worse, the 160 passengers on board were stuck on the plane for 2 1/2 hours because the plane was stuck in the mud. delta is investigating but conditions in the area were icy after snowfall. >> 5:46. looks like another beautiful day in the neighborhood. we seem to get blessed day after day. >> it's nice to live in california. of course the beautiful bay area where we are the envy of the nation. they are dealing with the winds in southern california. though it's warm, not as nice as it is here in the bay area. we're going to see the winds pick up wednesday and thursday, offshore flow resumes. a little trough of low pressure pushing in. i'm going to show you that. that's going to make for a
