back in with meteorologist christina loren to find out about the weather. a little wet, a little funky today. >> yeah, nothing you want to deal with on a monday morning. give yourself plenty of time and that way it won't be so bad once you do hit the slick conditions. you can see from this live picture over the bay bridge, the camera has a shake to it. it's breezy though the winds are dying down a touch. and it is mostly cloudy. overcast condition all the way from the coast. let's take it to the radar, show you where the showers are coming down at this point. most of the activity must be in the south bay. most of the activity will be south of the golden gate bridge. you can see getting pretty good showers all the way from elgranada to fremont. san jose, you're getting slick as well. those are moderate rain showers coming down over portions of the south bay. menlo park a little break but more rain developing offshore here that will move onshore through the next hour or two. in fact, we'll see light

scattered showers throughout the day but we're not expecting much in terms of accumulation. look at these unimpressive expected totals. san jose, .03 inch. that's about it today. nonetheless, the showers will purify our air which is good news. good air qualls for all of you lovers for valentine's day. 55 in concord. across the water. 54 in san francisco and 50 degrees in bodega bay. it works like this tomorrow. if you want to have a morning brunch, 48 degrees, you'll need the jacket all day. by moon, up to about 57 so looking warmer tomorrow by about 3 to 5 degrees from today's highs. and then for you late night rendezvous people, 53 degrees. make sure you bring your shawl or a jacket with you, ladies, but leave the umbrella home. a little fog tomorrow, another round of rain wednesday into thursday. by friday sun and clouds will make way to showers in the north bay.

the usual suspects showing more slowing, maybe that rain coming through also playing a factor as well. lower the speeds, just wise to do that. you have to off of the carquinez bridge. slow over to rodeo and in to san pablo. the accident still reported blocking one lane. this will take some time for us to recover. smoother down to the bay bridge as well as the benicia bridge. back to you. >> we continue to follow breaking news right now in hayward this morning. police have found a body near the corner of seventh street and c street. this is a live look from our chopper this morning as the sun breaks we can zoom in and see a little more. looks like they are investigating a car on the side of the road there as well. it is a residential area, and

in san francisco, it banned using race as a factor in admission to public universities, 209 has been challenged before but students feel that recent court decisions and data on race and students suggest the time is right to try again and believe that governor brown is sympathetic to the cause. smorters believe that the argument has been settled before. reporting live at uc workly, i'm christie smith. back to you. >> it's 6:51. two more occupy protesters are chasing charges after one allegedly kicked an officer during a march on saturday. the march was mostly peaceful in stark contrast to the demonstration a couple of weeks ago where protesters broke into buildings. police arrested a woman after she allegedly kicked a officer
