we're less than 24 hours away now from steady rain over the greater bay area. so let's tell you what's happening out there right now. temps in the 40s and 50s. i stopped the clock on your future cast for rain. when we meet back here tomorrow morning, heavy downpours across the greater bay area. we'll time the system out. when you might be able to get outdoors. i want to check your drive at 6:01 with mike. >> the opposite of rain, we had a fire report, a car fire eastbound 580 around 14th, park boulevard. sounds like it is mostly a little bit of an engine fire. but we don't see any slowing on our sensors either. this will be a distraction away from the maze. no lanes currently reported blocked. an earlier accident has moved completely off the roadway to the shoulder. southbound 680 at the walnut creek interchange, westbound 24 moving smoothly, as well. a wider look at your commute coming up. this morning, an east bay community mourning the deaths of

next morning they're gone, two of them. so how do you get your head around that? >> reporter: a lot of questions, of course. now, it could be days before we learn the official cause from investigators. witnesses reported seeing the driver speed. police also looking into phone records to see if the 17-year-old was on his cell phone at the time. it is also standard to perform toxicology tests to rule out alcohol and/or drugs. a bit of good news in this is that nuri's 12-year-old daughter was also with him but survived with only minor injuries. as for that teen driver, he is in juvenile hall and facing charges of manslaughter. live in concord this morning, "today in the bay." 6:03 now this morning, new information about a bicyclist who may have been riding recklessly before plowing into an elderly man in san francisco. witnesses are now telling police chris buchari ran several red lights and stoplights before slamming into the 71-year-old

man 11 days ago. the man later died from his injuries. he says he was approaching the intersection at castro and market when the light turned red. and he couldn't stop, so he plowed through the crowded crosswalk. he could face manslaughter charges. also this morning, six people right now recovering from injuries after two unrelated accidents along san francisco's embarcadero. one driver suffered minor injuries when police say he made an illegal turn near harrison street and was then hit by a muni car. and also five people were hit when a driver slammed into several cars near brannan street. harsh and unjust, what some are calling the charges filed against 13 occupy cal protesters. they're demanding the district attorney drop those charges. supporters of the group dubbed the sproul 13 plan to rally in front of if sproul hall today. it is exactly 5 months since

police broke up the protest in that very spot. organizers say the protesters were arrested and in some cases beaten by police for simply linking arms to hold on to the encampment. well, this morning, a south bay neighborhood on edge after two bold robberies just minutes apart on the same street. at this point, gilroy police do not believe the crimes were connected because they were koird out so differently. the first happened after 1:30 saturday night on a street called independent order of odd fellows avenue. police say two men got into the back of a taxi and demanded money, punched the driver, tried to choke him from behind and got away with cash. five minutes later virtually the same spot, investigators say somebody robbed another man at knife point. >> police officers during the night. but i think by need a little bit more just that they come more often. i don't know because yeah. it was scary.

two robberies in less than five minutes? that's just scary. >> so far, officers have not made any arrests in either case. just about 6:06 now. smokers could be squeezed out of more places if one south bay city approves a new proposal. "today in the bay" joins us live from san jose with the latest smoking ban up for a vote. maryann, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, marla. well, right now in san jose, you cannot smoke inside in a restaurant. but if this new ordinance passes, you won't be able to smoke in a restaurant patio either. the proposed ban also includes outdoor dining areas such as sidewalk cafes. it would prevent you from lighting up while waiting in lines and it would ban smoking in outdoor common areas at apartments, condos, and mobile homes. >> i'm conflicted. i know it affects people's health, but then so do a lot of things, you know.

there's pollution, there's car exhaust. >> reporter: the idea for the ordinance came about when the centers for disease control and prevention gave grant funds to santa clara county for programs dealing with tobacco prevention and control. the city council will decide on this new ban coming up tomorrow. reporting live in san jose, maryann favro, "today in the bay." closing state parks might not be saving quite as much as first thought. many parks house thousands of historical items that need to be packed up and held in storage. the parks and recreation says they don't know how much of the projected $22 million in savings will be lost. 70 parks were slated to close by july 1st, that was the deadline. 11 sites have since signed up with partnerships to remain open. another two dozen are right now still in negotiations. spring skiing is looking much better than the winter ski season. tahoe resorts are reporting some

20 feet of snow falling in the last month alone. and now resorts say they need more than just light crowds to make up for a winter that struggled to get started. >> i mean last year we went from the third largest season on record to, you know, kind of a dry season. >> right now, businesses are trying to lure skiers and snowboarders back to the slopes. sugar bowl is offering free lessons and free or deeply discounted equipment rentals. well, time now for another check on weather. meteorologist christina loren is here to tell us about a decent day today, rest of the week, get the umbrella back out. >> and keep it handy. you'll want to keep it in your trunk all week long. today, though, great for the beach if you have those little ones at home with you for spring break. might be your only good beach day throughout this workweek. we're talking about a rainy pattern that develops as we wake up tomorrow morning over the greater bay area. and maintains all the way through saturday.

so keep that in mind. 39 degrees right now in livermore. it's cold out there, 45 in san jose. some cities are still close to 30 degrees. san francisco, you're at 49, we're about 30 minutes away from the official sunrise, 6:42. a nice sunrise over the bay area because we've got a nice mix of sun and clouds to wake up with this morning. that makes for a pretty sunrise, up to 63 degrees at noon inland. and it all works out like this when it comes to the rain showers we're expecting. north bay showers possible this afternoon. more like tonight for the peninsula and the east bay. and we're going to have to wait until tomorrow morning in the south bay. but we are talking about pretty substantial rainfall totals. we've got two systems on the way. from the first system, maybe 1/2 inch up in places like napa looking more like an inch or many in santa rosa. and another system right on its heels. so overall, possibly picking up 2 inches of rain in some south bay cities before all is said and done. i'll time out both systems for you. right now, we want to check your

drive with mike. >> christina. hey, folks, we have a new accident for the south bay. we're going to update you for northbound 101 as you're approaching oakland. another 20 minutes or so for the volume to cause any slowing. though this might kick it off, northbound 101 at oakland road. sounds like the accident has no injuries reported and it should move smoothly quickly from the roadway. another accident here just north of that 680/580 interchange. sounds like it's out of lanes at eastbound 580 and it shouldn't be any cause for the slowing on the approach westbound that's a typical build coming out of dublin and pleasanton. and we have a build here for a 19-minute drive out of the pass, speeds into the 50s and 40s everywhere you see that yellow. even the red blip showing up at greenville, that's early for the altamont pass, but looks like a typical pattern there, guys. back to you. >> thanks. it is 6:10 right now. still coming on "today in the bay," the man accused of killing

a bay teenager could be prosecuted this week. plus, an overnight fire kills two firefighters on the east coast. details are next.

and mild and some cities close to 50 degrees in san francisco right now. as a result, easily climbing an additional 15 degrees once the sun comes out at 6:42. that means we're talking about the 70s inland and mid to upper 60s by the bay. i want to show this to you. take a look at what developed over the course of the weekend. you see that counterclock wise rotation, a strong area of low pressure, especially this late in the season. this is going to dump rain especially over the north bay, places north of the golden gate bridge. starting in the north bay, spreading to the south through tomorrow morning. breezy conditions, as well, this is not a wind event. i think it's going to be more of a rain event, potentially flooding is possible. we stop the clock at 2:00 a.m. for tuesday, yeah, light showers starting to move along the coastline. we continue at 6:00 a.m., heavier downpours back here tomorrow, especially through the east bay, we'll get you through those, mike and i will be here early tomorrow morning to guide you through the showers. by noon, a little bit of a

a new accident reported on the southbound side at 680 right around the truck scales in fremont. but no major slowing there. we do have some slowing approaching that 580 interchange. typical commute build and northbound 680 at eastbound and 580 there the accident has completely cleared from the roadway, or at least out of lanes. there may be a distraction for another few minutes there. a look over to the earlier accident, walnut creek interchange here, we have the accident at the shoulder, approaching 24, likely a distraction and the build, volume of traffic here coming out of concord in toward walnut creek. highway 24 through the caldecott, that's a nice, easy drive, eastbound 580. an earlier car fire on the incident. and that may be a distraction for folks heading away from the amaze. but your commute is moving smoothly. a live look and show you the volume of traffic past the oakland coliseum. northbound 880, there's your commute direction past high street. a smooth drive, no incidents for
