watching as we see cycling events and things like that, track and field eventually later on in the week there. >> thank you very much, rob. certainly the weather is not so much a factor for thing like swimming. it is the biggest bombshell of the games so far. the bay area's natalie coughlin was suddenly pulled from yet's freestyle relay. we just got an interview in with coughlin about what happens now that her olympic competition has ended and retirement is next. >> my focus was yesterday's swims and focusing on this week and then we'll go from there. i don't think it needs to be a hard and fast by september 309 make a decision or 2014 make a decision. >> again, she has not yet decided whether she's going to retire, but her competition in the olympics in london now over. here in the bay area coughlin is a friend and role model to a lot of people, swimmers and other people alike.

"today in the bay" spoke with one olympic hopeful who swam with coughlin. >> since i was little i've always looked up to her. especially since she's a backstroker. just seeing how accomplished she's been is definitely an inspiration to me. >> reporter: 17-year-old madison wright is a rising star in the competitive world of swimming. in 2010 she was on the same team with natalie coughlin for the short course championships in dubai. natalie was team captain. >> she really welcomed me into the national team scene. she was really supportive of me. and just wanted me to feel comfortable with the team. >> reporter: white swims for crocanyon in danville and coughlin inth east bay, a lot of are fans. >> she went to cal berkeley. everyone follows. >> reporter: everyone is asking the same question, why was coughlin left out of the final race in the 4x100 freestyle

relay. >> it was a little weird not seeing her in it. i'm not sure the reason why she wasn't in it. you know, i definitely think that she had a say. >> there was a reason maybe for her to accept the coach's decision, but we are saddened that she couldn't participate in another event and to represent the bay area. >> anow coming up at 6:30, we'l go back to london and rob mathai are more on that. live look at london once again, and the u.s. has five medals, one gold, two silver, two bronze and today more swimming and americans hoping to set records. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in london with more on today's competition. what are you looking forward to? >> more swimming. we'll see a lot more of it. natalie coughlin is not the only swimmer from the u.s. who's going to be disappointed here.

michael phelps with 14 gold medals, wanted to win two more, he didn't do it yesterday. >> so far these swimming games belong to ryan lochte. >> reporter: ryan lochte is back in the water today after winning gold in the 400 meter individual medley with a comfortable three seconds to spare. >> this is only the start of the olympics, so i've got to keep going. >> reporter: today he competes in the men's 200 meter freestyle. he beat 14-time medalist michael phelps, who's looking to set a record for winning more medal than any other olympian ever but he's off to a slow start. phelps came in fourth. >> it's frustrating. just have to try to move on. >> reporter: the world's number one skeet shooter, kim roady competes today. >> i'm at four olympic medals. >> reporter: one more and she becomes the first american to medal in five consecutive games. look for superstars on the court

today. lebron james, kevin durant as the men's basketball team plays france. in tennis, venus williams competes at wimbledon where she carried the torch back in june. today she'll face the italian she beat at the australian open, then take otero main yn the the with her sister. dana vollmer's favored in today's 100 meter butterfly. missy franklin swims solo after helping the american relay team win bronze. >> one of the best relays i've had a chance to be a part of. >> reporter: gymnastics gets under way with national champion jordyn wieber. fortunately, that's inside but other things like beach volleyball and field hockey. we can hear them cheering. those events are outside. unfortunately, we've had some rain here. it's kind of cool. in fact, the weather feels a lot more like the bay area, certainly, than these athletes would like it for those outdoor events.

looking live, we can see some clouds squishing down, making for a nice, pleasant start to this sunday morning. of course, we're watching the weather in london as well. no pressure, rob. have you to watch two kinds of forecasts. >> we're watching the one a little across the pond, as they say right now. actually some showers rolling into london. this morning around the bay yashgs you may need the windshield wipers or a light coat to wick off the mist and drizzle we're seeing in the bay area. san francisco and oakland seeing drizzle within the last hour.

55 in both locations. temperature pretty uniform as we ve low clouds that have moved inland. pushed inland by the onshore breeze, blowing into fairfield. winds up to 20 miles an hour. around the inner bay, we'll see drizzle and then the low clouds will peel back to the coast as we go through the afternoon. another cool day on the coast with low to mid-60s except santa cruz will warm up to the low 70s. from tuesday probably through friday, seeing the numbers inland start to climb up. temperatures in the 80s to mid-90s by midweek. let's hope for better weather today around the giants game. better outcome, too, as we watch the giants' start time just after 1:00. should see mid-60s and misty skies. if you're going to head out early, don't be surprised to see mist even into the late morning hours. satellite radar view shows you the monsoon moisture that can spill back to the bay area, at least for now is off into arizona and east of palm springs. we will see that creep closer to

us by tuesday and wednesday, bringing some thunder in the sierra and maybe even showers in the coastal range late in the week. something to be watching for as we go through the rest of the week. right now, a look at all the low clouds that have pushed inland, even close to livermore. they will start to come back to the coastline by 1:00, but a very cool day from pacifica down to pillar point and santa cruz getting clearing this afternoon. and then this evening, you're already starting to see some low clouds spill across san mateo heading to the east bay. today, temperature unusually cool for this time of year. a lot of 70s around the santa clara valley. down toward morgan hill and gilroy, those will be the warmer temperature, those numbers in the 80s. trivalley we'll look for low to mid-80s today, but all-day westerly wind may keep the temperatures down more in the 70s range, especially towards the 880 side of the east bay. 680 off to the east we'll see the warmer temperatures today. north bay we'll see numbers in the low 80s, 70s elsewhere

around the inner bay. cool 66 in san francisco and low clouds on the coastline. just kind of stapled to the coast today. watch the numbers as we go towards monday and tuesday. you'll see those numbers start to jump up, especially come tuesday. those inland temperatures starting to rise. we'll see those numbers around livermore approaching the low to mid-90s. middle part of the week cooling as we head towards next weekend. watching some of that monsoon moisture, which may trigger some mountain thundershowers late in the week. yes, london, as we've been seeing over our shoulder on this newscast this morning, as the music plays, looks like san francisco temperatures. unlike san francisco, they're actually dealing with thundershowers. some outdoor events. we'll have to see how that plays out. the warmest part. day in london, you're starting to see the clouds build. not the 70s and 80s, they had a nice break from the weather last week. >> what's your favorite summer olympic event? >> gymnastics. having watched that in san jose.

for your taste buds. a week ago the director of the state parks and recreation department admitted a lost special fund of $54 million. more than enough to keep all the parks open. now we're learning that some 500 state special funds may have 2.3 billion more than originally thought. so, how could this happen?

nbc bay area political analyst larry gersten joins us. let's talk about, first, what those special funds are. >> yeah. i think that's where we start. special funds are accounts, various accounts set up for programs that allow the money to be spent only for designated projects. california has a recycling program. it gets its money from deposits we put on bottles and cans. that money can be only used for recycling and conservation projects. that's it. multiply that very narrow, specific program times 500 and suddenly you find yourselves with all kinds of different programs designated for specific spending. that's all the money can be used for. that's it. so it's actually designed to promote transparency. we want people to know where the money's coming from, where it's going, no place else. >> right. that often makes people feel more comfortable about having their tax dollars go into a fund. but when we hear $2.3 billion, i

wouldn't lose a chunk of change like that. i find it hard to believe that there is a good explanation for losing $2.3 billion. >> yeah, $54 million is tough enough to swallow. $2.3 billion? where the heck is this coming from? we don't know the whole story. we have to give time for this to be fer eted out here. a lot of the problem seems to be based on two sets of assumptions, assumptions by the governor's department of finance, on the one hand, and assumptions by the controller's office. now, between the two of them, there's about a $2.3 billion gap. finance says we have $8.8 billion in these special funds total. the controller's office says, no, we have $11.1 billion. now, how do we get to this? the best explanation seems to be a rather simple one. that is that the director of finance is adding up all these numbers at a time differently from the controller. so, the spending cycles are such that the money flows through and we see the different times.

>> so, it's like if i balance our checkbook on the 1st of the month, my husband balances it on the 8th, it's different timing. >> checkbook example is a great one. imagine you have $1,000 in your checking account. you write a check for $200. if you're like me, i go to my checking account and say, i $800 now. i've spent the money. but you haven't. you haven't spent the money until the person or the institution cashes that check. it seems kind of simple but that seems to be the basis of the problem. meanwhile, it's raising all kinds of ruckus, you can see that. >> the governor wants voters, you and i as voters, to pass proposition 30, temporary tax measures, because it is -- we are in a catastrophe, a financial meltdown of sorts. what does this mean if the voters hear, wait a second, you're letting money pile up, lay around idle, maybe i will or will not vote. is that going to affect people? >> you have to think psychologically something is not right here, right? especially if you're not paying a lot of attention.

but we need to remember that that $8 billion budget deficit, we've all heard about, that refers to the general state fund. the money the state allocates for education, for prisons, for all kinds of things. even if we have $2.3 billion more than we thought, that money has to stay in the special funds programs. it's law. that's the way we've done it. so the hole remains. but the big problem for the governor is making people understand the difference between the special funds programs and the general state budget and the hole we've got. that's going to be one tough chore for him. he's already got enough problems. he'll have one more added to his bucket, so to speak, between now and november. >> thank you very much, larry. you can always get more of larry's political insight any time, nbcbayarea.com. still more on head for you. we're going to go to london.

athletes from the bay area, especially kerri walsh jennings from santa clara, who along with her partner, misty may-treanor beat australia twice. another late night match today. the buzz is not so much about what they're doing on the sand in terms of beach volleyball but what they're wearing. instead of those traditional bikinis, they put on long sleeve shirts yesterday. in fact, their opponents had on long pants as well. look, the weather here has turned cooler. it's windy. it's raining. they may have rain to deal with with that match later tonight. the rules actually for a long time allowed that, but it was just unusual especially for londoners who are used to see the rain to see beach volleyball participa participants not dressed the way they normally are.

singh, table tennis champion, she won her first two matches now, we can report. one next mexico and against luxembourg. she plays tonight against china. there is a rumor that bill gates may actually be in town to watch her. apparently they're table tennis buddies. she says she thinks he's in town. she's not sure if he's at olympic park. we'll have our eyes out for that. >> if you have a fan, bill gates would be a very nice one to have. thank you very much, tracie. the biggest bombshell of the game so far, the elimination of the bay area's natalie kuf lyco from yesterday's relay. we heard from coughlin minutes ago about what happened and whether or not this means she might retire. >> my focus was yesterday's swims and focusing on this week,

and then we'll go from there. i don't think it needs to be a hard and fast, you know, by september 30th make a decision or 2014 make a decision. >> now we want to go to raj mathai, who's in london with more on that decision to pull natalie coughlin and the medal -- from the medal race and the buzz that it is creating in the sports world. >> hello from london. we're still trying to figure out what exactly happened with natalie coughlin and why she was benched by team usa. this is a shocking development for one of the bay area's biggest sports stars. let's show you how the sequence of events shook down. it was all smiles initially for coughlin during the morning races of the preliminary races. she was great. she had one of the fastest times but shockingly she was benched for the finals. in those finals, team usa, as you probably know by now, won the bronze medal. even though natalie coughlin did not swim in the finals, she does win a bronze along with her teammates. she was not invited to the podium. instead was given her medal later in the evening.

following that race, natalie coughlin did have brief comments to the media. quote, i was a little bit disappointed because i tend to get better as the meet progresses but i don't envy the coaches, what they had to go through. here's where the irony continues. speaking of the coaches, terry mckeever is the head coach for team usa and also the head coach at cal and one of natalie coughlin's star pupil in the east bay. they've worked together for ten years. ultimately it was mckeever's decision to bench natalie. this was probably her final race of her career. she wants to return to the east bay. she has a beautiful home in lafayette. she turns 30 next month and she wants to start a family. we're expected to chat with natalie coughlin later on today. we'll have that report on our evening newscast. we're in london. back to you now in the bay area. >> another upset in olympic swimming centered on the u.s. men. ryan lochte won the 400 meter

individual medley, beating fellow american michael phelps, who took gold in the event in the last two olympics. lochte won the event by an incredible three full seconds. phelps did not medal at all. he came in fourth. he still has six more chances to win. with just two more medals, will he become the world's most decorated olympian. we're going to put up the winners overnight, but if you don't want to know who they are, we'll play some music so you can turn your head. when the music is over, it's safe to come back. ♪ lochte did win the united states' only gold medal so far. that puts united states third overall, tied with italy.
