taxes. i want to check in with tracie potts live in washington this morning with a preview of the president's budget. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. so first of all let's talk about red ink, how much more we spend than we're taking in in this government. the white house says that the president's new budget will cut that down by 4 trillion over the next decade but not immediately. next year's budget would include $1.3 trillion deficit. it would be the fourth year in a row we've seen deficits over $1 trillion. the president wants to sped more in education and transportation. this morning he will announce a suggested $8 billion community career college fund, that colleges and business who is have jobs available in hot areas and train 2 million people to take those jobs. but that's going to cost money. how do you pay for this? the president's budget proposal

will include new taxes, 1.5 in new taxes. republicans don't like that. it's the same fight that we heard last fall and you will hear some of those same arguments again. they are looking at crafting a budget that has no new taxes but more spending cuts in areas like medicare. >> who is going to be hit with the new taxes? >> primarily folks who make over $250,000. the president wants to see the bush tax cuts go away for them, oil companies, big oil companies which lose tax breaks, banks would see new taxes and also the millionaire tax. you make over $1 million he includes that 30% minimum. >> tracie potts, thank you for the update. >> japan restarting two nuclear reactors. this after inspectors gave a passing mark on a set of stress tests. only three of japan's 54 reactors are operating right

>> we'll see in our neck of the woods. checking in with meteorologist christina loren. >> good morning to you. we have a pretty good looking forecast for today. we've got the showers, we need that rain. it's going to purify our air quality. and we also as you probably already know, we are lacking in terms of our annual rainfall totals. we are very, very much so running a deficit. so we need moisture we can get. totals for today don't look that substantial. mostly less than .1 inch. even in the south bay we expect the most moisture to pass through. then we get another round of rain as we head through wednesday and then another one over the course of the weekend so. the pattern is substantially changing. make sure you're ready for that. keep that umbrella handy. right now, though, getting a break, a few showers starting to roll on shore in the city of san francisco. we take to you the north where the bulk of the moisture is still to the north of ft. bragg. this is going to slide to the south into the clear lake area.

maybe 7:45 then into the north bay at about 9:00. we'll continue futurecast, a few showers on the way between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. today, then the activity will start to wind down mostly concentrated in the south bay. we're going to have lingering showers throughout the day. even impacting the drive home. just keep that in mind. not all that warm. no more 70s of last week. 56 in almaden valley. 54 in san jose. 55 in oakland. about 58 degrees in santa rosa. tomorrow, oh, this is how it's going to work out for you. morning brunch, 48, midday, 57, then 53 degrees so basically the temperatures warrant a jacket all day long tomorrow but you won't need that umbrella so that's the good news. you don't have to worry about keeping the umbrella over your head. make sure your hair that you got did doesn't get ruined. mike, anything special for your hair tomorrow? >> i'm going to probably spike. oh, look, there it is. a preview.

looking to the south bay, with the nice flow of traffic the rain has drizzled and caused slick roadways. we'll watch for that. we're seeing blips here and there. wise to lower the speeds. let me get out of the way. i want to show you a shot in the south bay. there is 101. we froze. we have traffic past the area, san jose international airport. that's enough to show you all the headlights. that may be a reason for some of the slowing we see in both directions. good number of cars. we won't see major issues until around 6:30, 101 start to build. we still have an accident at 880 on the southbound side. no slowing in either direction but 680 still has that slowing out of sunol into fremont. no incidents there. we have your typical build for livermore, 17 minutes into central livermore and slowing

here, 580, we saw over the last few minutes, 680 off of the dublin interchange. i'll take you out to bay point. eastbound the construction has not cleared but we have the slowing that has cleared and westbound there is out of antioch, right on schedule. >> thanks, mike. all of the golden gate toll takers could be gone by the ebld of the year. the marin independent journal reporting all electronic system could be up and running by early 2013. commuters will pay tolls using fast track or through a system that will photograph license plates and then send out bills. the bridge district will save $16 million over the next decade. >> 5:48. gas prices continue to climb, national prices up 12 cents in the past three weeks going to keep rising. as things continue prices could sky rocket another 60 cents by late may. that would mean a national average of $3.95.

as we know we would be much higher. forkbally $4.85 in san francisco by memorial day. experts say the rising prices can be attributed to rising tensions in the middle east, reduced refinery capacity and the switch to summer grades of gasoline. >> it's a wild scene but fun with jeremy lin grabbing headlines. it was only a matter of time before somebody had to ask the warriors coach why lin was waived from his team. lin was a warrior until the first day of training camp when the team dropped him to put together an offer for a free agent. so when asked about with it, mark jackson said i never saw him do a lay up so people can stop asking me. he never practiced for me so leave me out. jackson was looking forward to watching lin compete for the backup point guard spot before he was actually dropped.
