drizzle. we see from this live picture, san jose, a pretty clear start here. we'll let you know when visibility really starts to drop off. it is mild out there. you don't need that heavy jacket. by noon today warming up into the 50s and then we'll see 60s later on. we've got a big-time warm-up for super bowl weekend. we'll talk about that first. first let's check your drive at 6:01 with mike inouye. on macarthur boulevard approaching adams street just off 580, this accidewater main may affect your commute. there is water on the road basically and has a lane or two flooded. repair work continues but no full closure. macarthur is open at the scene. 880 near the area will see glowing lights as we take our coliseum camera. there is mist and drizzle in the air. water even kicking up so watch those conditions. can be very slippery especially

off-ramps. facebook's widely anticipated initial public offering filing is expected to happen today. it could pay off in a big way, not just for mark zuckerberg and facebook employees but for the entire golden state. bob redell is live at facebook headquarters in menlo park with more. >> reporter: good morning. typically with ipos, this highly anticipated and popular, most of the shares are going to be going initially to institutional investors with just a small chunk for the every day investor but there could be a surprise in today's filing. there's speculation that mark zumerberg, the ceo of facebook, could put in a provision there that would allow the 800 facebook users to get in on the action. details on that are not available. again this is speculation but that could mean that you at home might be able to get in on the bottom level price. what is that bottom level price going to be? it could take several months before we know what the final

price for the ipo is but at least one expert expected it to be over $100 per share. facebook's ipo is expected to raise up to $10 billion for the company. that would be the sixth largest initial public offering ever. six times greater than google's and the social media giant would be valued somewhere around $100 billion. that's greater than disney or general motors. now today's expected ipo filing is significant because it will shed light on something that facebook has kept private, namely its financials. the filing will give the public a sense of how well the company has been doing and an idea of what its prospects are for future growth. reporting live here outside facebook headquarters in menlo park, bob redell, "today in the bay." while facebook employees should be gaining a lot of wealth, california may be running out of cash. state controller john chung is telling lawmakers the state could be out of money next month. he says it needs $3.3 billion

unfortunately we're seeing a lot more rain than snow out of this disturbance but at the end of my seven-day forecast we will show you when the wet pattern and we get more snow up in the sierra when that starts to develop. we'll talk about that coming up. right now let's talk about today. 53 in san francisco. 48 in san jose. today works out like this. because of that disturbance we have increased onshore flow so you will likely find some really heavy clouds out there this morning and areas of mist and drizzle especially at the coast. inland it doesn't look too bad at this point but we'll let you know when that changes. we are expecting dense fog to form before that sun comes out later today, then that warming trend kicks into high gear. as we head into this weekend we'll start to warm up as of tomorrow. let's help you plan that day. mostly cloudy conditions at the coast by the bay and inland. as you make your way to work at 8:00 a.m., by noon the sun is out. a few more clouds will move in as we head through the second half of your day but we'll still see enough sunshine to warm us up into the 60s by the bay and inland and pretty close at the

coast, even 59 degrees at 4:00. let's check your drive and see if the weather is impacting you this morning. it certainly will. at least in preparation. prepare for slick roadways out there. right now 880 through fremont that's not reportedly the problem but it could have played factor because this accident at the off-ramp from southbound 880 will have some flashing lights. the off-ramp is open but watch slick conditions at freeway speeds on those curving off-ramps. a four-car accident moved to the shoulder, and another accident reported there, a hit and run. now the second accident could cause slowing and distraction slowing 880 southbound heading toward 92 and the transition, that's the san mateo bridge. bridge picking up volume and clear view of that high-rise but you will see some fog developing on the peninsula and again misty conditions through there, down

the peninsula through menlo park and palo alto so just keep that in mind. the golden gate bridge north of there on 101. through the north bay no slowing. wing the slick sheen on the roadways but despite that we still have a winning commute down into san rafael and into the city. >> a winning commute. thank you, mike. mitt romney wins florida and he's getting extra security beginning today. we'll explain why. i'm damian trujillo in the south bay where parents send google to the back of th bus. i'll explain coming upo [ female announcer ] back to school means back to busy mornings.

gatos with the latest on google's shuttle bus problems. damian, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, marla. the neighbors here began seeing that google employee bus pull up here in early january but the problem is this isn't really a bus stop. they knew right away that this was going to be a problem and so they complained and looks like they got their way. the bus pulls right up to the bike lane here on shannon road to pick up google employees who are headed for work. so kids swerve having to pull their bikes into the middle of the road. they couldn't hop on to the sidewalk because that's where the google employees were lining up to board this bus. the solution came when local police asked a presbyterian church of los gatos which is right in front of the bus stop if the bus could pull into its parking lot for the pick-ups and the church said yes. >> google shared the same vision for biofuel buses, local people who are living and buying homes in our town being able to catch

a bus and get into work without taking all their cars on to los gatos roads. >> reporter: neighbors and parents actually like the idea of the bus for google employees. it gets them out of their cars and the bus runs on biodiesel fuel. now they get to pick up their employees and they say it is done safely for everyone. live in the south bay, damian trujillo, "today in the bay." it's 6:15 right now. san jose's film festival just weeks away. they had a media kickoff last night at the san jose athletic club. recognize anyone there? our own christina loren helped get that party started walking the red carpet, meeting some of the people involved in the event. nearly 200 films will be shown at this year's festival. cinefest opens on february 28 and runs through march 11. it is a really cool event. you get to see some premier

our last chance for showers, one little cell here situated over the pacific. as we head throughout the day, clouds clear. by 2:00 p.m. getting a nice mix of sun and clouds and warming up yet again into the 60s. we've got really comfortable weather for you. as we head throughout the morning, we do want to be aware, it is very drezley drizzly. menlo park, a steady mist this morning. we'll warm up into the 70s inland as we head through this super bowl sunday. we've got a super-duper forecast for this weekend. we'll talk about that. today temperatures mostly in the 50s and 60s throughout the bay area, you'll see a mix of sun and clouds. san francisco today, 61 degrees. the next three days work out like this. we'll warm up to 66 by thursday. on friday, 67 degrees. then we keep on climbing saturday and sunday, super comfy for super bowl sunday. that means if you wanted to get your grill going, fire it up because we're going to see really comfortable weather.

as that develops. across the dumbarton bridge and san mateo bridge, looking just fine. bay bridge metering lights were turned on just a little bit ago. we have another at winton, sounds like that's completely cleared to the shoulder and a little slowing through fremont and newark for northbound 880. no incidents reported for that area though. we also have no construction anymore for 680 and bollinger canyon road. typical time out ofality mott pass. 6:19. mitt romney's campaign will no longer pay for secret service protection as of today. a romney campaign advisor says the campaign requested the protection and the secret service agreed that romney meets the requirements for free protection. the campaign previously paid for two to three agents. all major party nominees eventually get secret service

one cleared, second one reported now southbound 880 at a street. watch the slick roadways, they could be a factor for your morning commute. it is just about 6:31 now. no more speculation. facebook will file papers today announcing its ipo. the filing is considered to be the biggest thing to happen to the bay area since google ipo'd in 2004. almost ten years ago. today bob redell is live outside the menlo park headquarters with all the details for us. >> reporter: good morning, marla. facebook's initial public offering expected to raise $10 billion for that company. that would be the sixth largest ipo ever, six times greater than google's. two value the social media giant somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion. that's greater than disney or general motors. today's expected ipo filing is expect because it will shed light on something that facebook has kept private, namely we're

talking about its financials. the filing will give the public a sense at how well the company has been doing, an idea also of what its prospects are for future growth. it could take several months to set the initial price per share. at least one expert expects it to be over $100. normally it would be difficult for you and me, the average joe out there, to buy in at the ground floor with the hugely popular ipo like this. typically roughly 90% of the shares go to institutional investors, the remainder of the general public. however there is speculation there could be a surprise in today's filing that the social media giant might add a provision that makes it easier for its 800 million users to get in on the ground floor action. live outside facebook headquarters in menlo park, bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:32 right now. a 15-year-old boy accused of strangling his adoptive mother and father is facing two counts of murder today. he will be tried as an adult and will be back in court today.

and he had been in foster homes and he escaped from his original parents like when he was about as young as 3 years old. >> he confessed and some of of the details we're not going to go into right now just because the investigation still continues. >> reporter: as for why he may be responsible for this, his uncle said he really can't answer that, he doesn't know. as you mentioned, he's being charged as an adult and he's due back in court here in oakland at 9:00 this morning. live in oakland, i'm christie smith. laura and marla, back to you. 6:34. we do have new information today in the death of a 14-year-old girl at a slumber party in santa rosa. investigators tell the santa rosa press democrat the girl overdosed on the date rape drug ghb. they initially thought she had died of alcohol poisoning during a sleepover in july. detectives are not sure if the girl intentionally or accidentally ingested the drug.

getting a little precipitation up there in the sierra. want to check in with meteorologist christina loren with our forecast from the weather center. >> it is precipitation in the form of rain and everybody wants that snow up in tahoe. the good news is we do have a really interesting setup as we head through next week, finally. all of the long-term models bringing in a dip in the jet stream. that means as we head to the midsection, end of next week we will start to get pretty good rain chances. they're at about 30% right now and we're still about seven days out. it all works out like this for today, that little front just bringing rainfall. at this point we'll see clearing and a lot of it, very rapidly as high pressure moves back in. we stop the clock for you at 8:00 a.m., little bit of a sell moving over marin county. it all clears out over the course of the next half-hour. all the clouds clear out by 2:00 p.m. we're headed toward a really nice day today with temperatures in the 60s for the most part. inland cities are going to stay

states that these candidates are going to have to try to withn i the month of february. in florida romney won every major voting bloc here in florida. we learned overnight that he will now get secret service protection as well. apparently a result of a request by his campaign. newt gingrich, who tried to compete here, negative ads between the two went back and forth. in the end was unable to pull out anything close to a win. he says though moving forward he's going to compete everywhere, that florida is not the end of the road. rick santorum and ron paul, third and fourth respectively here in florida, also hope they can gain some steam, get some momentum in those upcoming caucus states. but for now it is mitt romney and florida and those 50 delegates that he won here last night. >> tracie, thank you. 6:42 right now. coming up -- facebook will file

spring training game against the d backs, just a month away. you might want to bring a visor to fan fest. sunday we warm up inland to 70 degrees. if you need the rain for your garden or agricultural interests, we're going to get it starting on tuesday. a pretty good chance for wednesday and thursday next week as well. so little bit of everything for everyone out there. let's see what your drive holds. it is really kicking in. we'll combine your report with what i see on the roads, gives folks a little bit of an idea. 87 showing slowing, speeds into the 40s heading into downtown. 101 just behind it we have slowing from capital expressway all the way up towards 880. speeds into the 40s an 50s through that stretch. volume picking up. 280 is not showing major issues so far. down to the 50s. live look shows you the volume of traffic. what's coming your way toward the 880-17 interchange here.

sparkly lights indicate mist in the air. that's a concern for drivers throughout the area. until that sun can dry everything out. we'll look at the east bay now. southbound 880 had a series of accidents right in the area of hayward heading down towards union city. southbound side of 880 completely cleared but that was enough to cause a disturbance, throw a wrench in the works and now we have slowing heading down past 92 to southbound 880 in the san leandro area. speeds down towards 40 toward the dublin interchange. noins dents on this side through 580, just a slower build of traffic. we do have fog that's rolling in to san mateo, that would could play a serious factor for your morning commute. those off-ramps at highway speeds coming off, you can slip and spin out.
