tracie potts joins us live in washington, d.c. this morning with the very latest. good morning. >> and now we're getting more information about what was going on inside the white house situation room when the president made that call. some of his closest advisers not too comfortable with the call to send those navy s.e.a.l.s in and take out osama bin laden. secretary of state hillary clinton called it not a high five moment when they found out that that raid had been successful. mitt romney who at the time called it ill-timed and ill-considered said something different yesterday in and the president reacted. >> you wouldn't haven't given the order? >> even jimmy carter would've given that order. >> if there are others who say one thing and now suggest they'd do something else, then i'd go ahead and let them explain it. >> and brand new this morning from mitt romney, a statement apparently attempting to set the record straight about whether or not he supported that decision from a year ago.

he says and i'm quoting here. i applaud president obama for giving the go ahead for the mission. laura? >> very interesting, thank you. we can tell you more than 100 people are dead this morning in india after a ferry boat capsizes. some 300 passengers were dumped into a river when the boat flipped over and broke into pieces during a storm near bangladesh. 100 people have been rescued from those waters, but at least 100 more are still missing. rescue crews with rubber rafts are right now searching for survivors. there reportedly were no lifeboats or life jackets onboard. heavy flooding in the uk has claimed a life. a man and a dog were killed when their car was submerged by fast-moving water over the weekend. about 10,000 homes left without power in southern wales. according to figures from the meteorological office, this was the wettest april ever in britain. well, in france, as the nation celebrates may day, rallies being held before the upcoming presidential elections. the top three political parties

weather day shaping up. we'll get you your drive in just a minute. starting with your temperatures, pretty comfortable out there as you make your way out that front door on a tuesday morning. we're in the 50s. so just about as cool as it was yesterday. if you can handle the 50s, you might want to go straight to the sweater or the short sleeves. as we head throughout the afternoon, talking about mid-60s by noon today. area of low pressure passed through the bay area overnight, high pressure's moving in quickly. as a result, we do have the pressure gradient out there and breezy conditions throughout the day today. so it will be a little bit blustery out on the coast. and then we get some showers as we head through thursday and friday. but i stop the clock on your future cast just to show you how those winds just like yesterday are going to pick up just before that sun goes down. so you want to keep that in mind, windy conditions, i like to call those the sun downers across the bay area. as we head throughout the weekend, we have another good-looking weekend shaping up, but like i said, we've got to get through those showers first thursday and friday. today, great for outdoor plans.

but we can tell you the recent numbers not looking very good. snow survey done in late april showing levels were at 46% of normal statewide. snow packs provide about a third of all water for homes and agriculture. but there's some good news. reservoirs are nearly full and the state will be able to deliver more water than originally thought. this is due to an unusually wet march and water that was carried over from the past winter season. things are looking good for salmon fishermen. the recreational ocean salmon season opens today in california's game and wildlife. predicting a large population of the fish. in the fall of 2011, record numbers of chinook salmon returned to the central valley. game officials say this is a good indication more fish were along california's coast. conservation and several canceled seasons helped increase that salmon population. and there's a happy ending for a sea lion found starving.
