>> plan extra time. there are not a lot of great alternates. bay view and mission. basically mass transit is the muni system. the f, the j, church through the muni area for 14th and market would be options. that would be a problem for surface street traffic but around the area affected. b.a.r.t. comes to the area here, they think it's upper market. that's where b.a.r.t. goes unter the line. at the point where we're talking about the protests it has gone to mission. again, coming in out of the city, b.a.r.t. a great option to jump on back at mission and 16th. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:04. dozens of east bay parents are fighting to keep a school from shutting down. over the weekend parents protested across from lake view elementary in oakland, one of

week long with temperatures at 72 degrees. hard to believe it's the 16th of july. even right by the water, will struggle to break out of the 50s. we're talking about 15 degrees below average for this time of year. the reason is here, we've got this area of low pressure. you see that counterclockwise flow over the pacific northwest. that's going to drop to the south throughout the next 24-48 hours. desire it does it's going to usher in a stronger on shore flow. the next 48 showers, mix of sun and clouds, drizzle tomorrow morning. top the clock at 4:00 p.m., mostly cloudy from novato through palo alto, but getting lots of sunshine in the east bay and south bay. we stop the clock again, tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m., showers on the radar. have no fear, mike and i as usual are ready for it and we'll

the obama campaign has gone so far as to suggest that romney is either lying to the american people now or he committed a felony by filling out the wrong information on papers that he gave to federal regulators. there's a lot of back and forth. the romney campaign says it's unfair, that it is untrue and also admits that it is absolutely effective in getting everyone thinking about something other than jobs and the economy. the fight is over mitt romney's job, his resume, and that's what president obama wants. >> i'm sure we can expect more of the same. thank you very much. >> still to come on "today in the bay," companies that handle your credit reports are about to get a closer look from the government. we'll tell you why. >> a protest against police could force you to find another way to get around san francisco. a live report on the way. >> we're going to up date you,

on what's happening. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning to you, jon and marla. police have two people in custody and they do tell us they believe that they are the people they have been looking for, for the past few hours here. in this neighborhood which is not far from where we're at the intersection of florence and washington. the reason why police are not standing down is because they do want to speak with neighbors to make sure there possibly wasn't a third person. not that they think there was but they want to cover their bases. this takedown of this other suspect took place in the past 20 minutes, about a block away from where all of this started. they found him in the back yard of someone's home. they had to call in an ambulance because a canine dog made contact with the person so it's possible he might have been bitten. right now he's in the back of a squad car being interviewed. he might be checked out by paramedics before being booked into jail. another tidbit. police did find some items

stolen property it appears, in a driveway not far from here. might have been personal electronics, giving them more ammunition for their thought that these two were involved in a possible home invasion attempt last night early this morning. one reason why this piqued their interest, there have been a couple other home invasions in the area. it started around 4:00 when police received a call of two suspicious men where the squad cars are at. both ned. as you heard both of them are back in police custody. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. >> we're now only 11 days from the opening ceremony in london. we can also tell you the bulk of team usa arriving in london. >> they are among the more than 16,000 athletes expected to arrive. olympians from 50 different countries are expected to arrive today. >> a bad joke at the front door

and the reason why is the low clouds now starting to breach the santa cruz mountains almost moving all the way inland. throughout the day the clouds are going to keep us column. in addition to an onshore flow sitting to the north. you can see that on your satellite radar counterclockwise rotation area of low pressure bringing showers, showers in july, mid july, to the pacific. we're going to get rain as well. that's right. i said it. rain on the radar tomorrow. i'll show you when we get to our future cast. the area slides to the south we're go took see a pretty strong onshore flow. mostly cloudy, kind of a gray dreary day at the coast. you might need the jacket. inland, spectacular considering we normally hit mid-80s this time of year. stop the clock on futurecast. in the cool direction as we wake up tomorrow between midnight and about 6:00 a.m., starting to get showers especially to the north

of the golden gate bridge. i am watching this activity start to develop out here. and might get a little activity, livermore, concord, san jose, that's enough to purify our air quality. we won't be sparing the air as the showers roll through. probably all week, good to moderate air quality. 75 in san jose, 64 in san francisco, 67 degrees in oak town, comfortable conditions even in livermore. and fairfield where we broke the triple-digit heat last week. quite a difference as we head through the next couple days. we'll get the 90s back but not till friday. then we fall back to our average by sunday. so not too hot out there. this will be the coolest day of the week. let's check that drive. here is mike. >> folks, as you might expect in livermore the drive worse because of the volume. in the 20s where you see the red. approaching the dublin interchange we have an accident
