right now investigators are trying to figure out what led to that. we will continue to follow this story for you throughout the morning. the city of pacifica will be testing its water quality today after a day yesterday in which a warning was issued to beachgoers to stay out of the water because of a sewage spill. it started early yesterday morning when a sewer pipe broke near the intersection of highway 1 and fastler avenue. crews say 6,000 gallons of waste spilled out. they contained most of it, but 1,800 gallons managed to make it to the ocean making for unsafe swimming conditions to say the least. coming up on "today in the bay" the world's best athletes are braving the chill 80 bay area weekend for one of the most grueling triathlons in the world, escape from alcatraz. we have a sneak peek of the race. the view outside right now, you notice we have mid and high level clouds coming in hinting at weather changes for the weekend. how much rain are we expecting?

of the world's best athletes will flock to san francisco to take part in the annual escape from alcatraz triathlon, and we caught up some of the athletes that will participate in the famed race. >> paul: in just about 24 hours from now tomorrow morning you'll have 2,000 professional and amateur athletes jumping off a perfectly safe boat out there in the cold waters of the bay to swim 1 1/2 miles from alcatraz to shore where we're at right now, we're in the parking lot at the st. francis yacht club between the club and christie field, coming in to shore, taking a half-mile warm-up run, they need that because the water's so cold to marina green, hopping on their bicycles for an 18-mile ride, followed by a leisurely 8-mile run, is it really that leisurely? probably not. eric, 25th year competing in the event, matt, former winner himself, 33rd annual competition. what is the most difficult part of this competition? >> the hardest part is

definitely the swim just because it's so cold. the water will be 52 degrees. it could be currents, you know, choppy, sharks, it's a big challenge. depending on the currents, it could be 22-minute swim or a 35-minute swim for me so, you know, the currents can be quite strong and, you know, once you get through the swim the rest of the race is still hard as well but it's a lot of fun. >> paul: is that one reason why this event attracts athletes from all because of the swim from alcatraz or are there other features of the event? >> because the race has been moved up to march instead of june because of america's cup we were amazed what are the numbers like this year and we've sold out with 2,000 people, and it's a bucket list type of triathlon, whether it's your first time or me your 25th time, i just can't get enough of it. the swim is just mentally challenging. every triathlon's challenging. you got to swim, bike, and run, but to have the temperature, the marine life, the currents, the

iconic golden gate bridge, the hills of san francisco and the streets of san francisco, the sand ladder out there at baker beach, all three of the disciplines have some challenges, but the swim is mentally tough. >> paul: matty, you'll be shooting for roughly a two-hour time, somewhere in that time zone? >> around about that, it depends on the current and the weather, but around two hours. >> paul: you can see them arriving on shore after jumping in the water 7:30 sunday morning, he'll be arriving here on shore tee pending on how long it takes and the arrival time for everything would be around 9:30 at marina greens, if you want to see the finish, 9:30 when the athletes start coming in from the 33rd annual escape from alcatraz triathlon. don't know if you've been noticing, rob mayeda has been getting stronger and healthier, is the triathlon next, rob? >> swimming with sharks not part of the equation. water temperature, low 50s,

that's a little bit too cold for my tastes. i'll have to try a triathlon in hawaii. we'll see breezy conditions and maybe a few showers out there. this morning there's a pattern change under way. a live view from san jose. mid and high level clouds coming in with a little bit of a tropical feel. we'll show you why it feels more muggy this afternoon compared to yesterday coming up in a moment. right now, 51 in san jose. 53 in san francisco. pretty close to the water temperature in the bay in those low 50s currently this morning. the wind not much of a factor now. but as our weather system races by, during the day tomorrow, i think you're going to see the sea breeze pick up which will lead to some cooling to wrap up the weekend. some of our weather headlines today includes obviously the pollen count which has just skyrocketed, early season the allergies cranking up due to the dry conditions and the pollen thick enough you have to wipe your windshield in a few spots. any rain we get would help that equation. we'll see a chance of a few showers as the moisture thickens up during the day.

but look at the coast, a long-period, high-energy swell arrive, a chance to see some waves this weekend. use caution out there this weekend. a few showers tonight, a better chance perhaps of some showers in our hilltops tomorrow. all right, here you can see the clouds coming in from the south and west, tapping into the subtropical jet stream off to south. here's the weather system off to the west and as things come together the weather system itself will add more lift to the moisture as it starts to push towards the bay area, the water vapor view showing you the increase of the midst level moisture. the futurecast really doesn't show much besides cloud cover but, again, the subtropical moisture in play there's a chance of seeing a few scattered showers at times as we go through the afternoon and then as we head into tomorrow, notice around the north bay and some of these hilltops into sunday afternoon you're seeing a few showers there but the main event for the rain will come in tuesday night and wednesday. that will be a stronger system with a little more moisture to work with that will lead to much cooler changes toward the middle of next week.

today close to 70. more likely we'll see 60s today. the clouds will block out the sun at times and any raindrops that evaporate before they reach the ground will cool the atmosphere off, that's what happens when you go from liquid droplets to water vapor, it cools things off a little bit. we'll see more of that this afternoon. 60 degrees in san francisco. mid-60s around the north bay so we'll bring in the chance of a few showers and in between systems monday looks like a dry break, but we're going to see the winds pick up into tuesday and into wednesday, well, we've had a couple of days with temperatures in the 70s. here's a reality check coming for the middle part of the week. hifes in the 50s. probably up to an inch of rain in a few spots with that system, so that's a reminder we're still in winter and a foot of snow in the sierra. we can use it. it's been quite dry. that will certainly help going towards the middle part of the week. >> you don't want to swim with sharks baby! >> i will watch the sharks play hockey, but i'm not going to swim with the sharks. the founder of room to read shows us how he put millions of books into the hands of impoverished children around the

act on the solution. >> and the solution is a san francisco-based nonprofit called room to read. its goal is simple, educate kids through books. conversation with bill gates when he left, did you have one? i know you talked to him since, but at the time you left, what did he say? >> i don't know that bill even noticed that i left i'd like to believe that, you know, they were wearing black armbands the day i left microsoft. but we have a great relationship with the gates foundation. i was very fortunate five years ago i remember driving down 280 and i was doing the thing you're not supposed to do checking your mail while you are driving, there was a mail from melinda gates, and, oh, great, i've got to read this, i've been reading great things about room to read. >> and you talked about how important the silicon valley and the bay area is to you in terms of financial need. would you be able to survive without the investors here? >> we would have never gotten room to read off the ground were

it not for the support of the bay area and silicon valley, a wonderful environment for start-ups and social volunteers. and i remember being with don valentine, the founder of sequoia capital, $250 per girl per year is all it costs room to read to help a girl from a poor family get educated? he said, this is the biggest no-brainer in philanthropy and their family foundation then underwrote the launch. there was only 400 girls to start with but talk about things growing rapidly and the hockey stick growth we have now over 20,000 girls in the program and the all-in cost today remains $250 per girl per year, you want to talk about a high roi, that's it. >> what drives you here? why so passionate? is there someone in your life that made you pay it forward? >> i got lucky. you know, i think i was lucky to be born in the united states of america. in a small town with a good public school. it wasn't perfect, but it was

pretty dang good and my parents always taught me it doesn't make you a good person if you have a lot of money, what makes you a good person is what you do with it. so, as i travel through the developing world and saw all these kids that were asking me for pencils and pens and i saw empty libraries and schools burned down by the khmer rouge and not rebuilt, what kind of person would i be if i just retired to the golf course or started to thinking about how would i feather my own nest more. >> you brought up the numbers, 15,000 libraries, 1,600 schools built all over africa and southeast asia, 12 million books drcted. you're smiling. you've done a lot. >> well, i think back to my own childhood of reading "clifford the big red dog," "hop on pop" or dr. seuss stories, not that we've distributed over 12 million books but 8 million are books in the mother tongue. when room to read started i was perhaps a bit naive. i thought it would be good

enough to put english language books in the libraries in vietnam and nepal and we're the biggest children publisher that you've never heard of, we're publishing in so many different languages -- top me. i can tell you over 20 languages we're publishing. >> time-out. you're not some old man. would you jump back into the corporate world? >> no. i've had offers to jump back into the corporate world. >> i can imagine. >> but i feel like i've got the best gig in the world, we've got it in our sights to reach 10 million children by 2015. much more ahead on "today in the bay" including an illness that forces the queen to cancel a royal engagement. the latest on her condition coming up.

and this is a look at the bay bridge and you can see from

the haziness that it's going to make things feel a little muggy today and there's rain in the forecast. thanks for joining us, i'm kris sanchez along with rob mayeda who says not enough rain to get you out of your outside chores. >> never enough rain to stop that it seems like. let's show you the temperatures out there this morning. we've got mid to high-level clouds coming in, 40s and 50s outside and a little bit of a southerly flow which is starting to kind of keep our temperatures mild to start the morning and speaking of clouds, notice where they're coming from. you've got a weather system off to the west but pulling up tropical moisture out of the south and as the moisture thickens up during the day don't be surprised to find a sprinkle or two outside with the sun filtered and the veiled sun at times. look at the numbers by noon, close to 70 perhaps around san jose both the sprinkles in the air not all of them hitting the ground that helps to cool things off below as we get that evaporative cooling during the day, so it looks like mostly 60s for highs today, chances of showers actually increasing tonight as that system sweeps through, we'll show you the

impact on the rest of the weekend forecast in a few minutes. >> sounds good. queen elizabeth will spend the weekend resting instead of attending a military celebration in wales. the 86-year-old queen canceled after coming down with a stomach bug, she'll spend the weekend resting instead. the queen and her husband prince phillip are expected to start a two-day visit to italy next week. the nation is now officially in sequester. president obama signed the order late last night putting into effect $85 billion in federal budget cuts. a last-ditch meeting to come up with a budget plan went nowhere yesterday. but republicans say these automatic cuts will not hurt the economy, emphasizing that $85 billion is only 2% of government spending. the president obama said sequester will be painful adding that it will result in hunters of thousands of jobs lost and reduced services. >> at a time when our businesses are finally gaining some

traction hiring new workers, bringing jobs back to america, the last thing washington should do is to get in their way. that's what these cuts to education and research and defense will do. it's unnecessary. >> furlough notices have already gone out to federal workers and schools may have to close early. another round of cuts could come later this month. the air force academy is getting its first female leader. defense secretary chuck hagel announced major general michelle johnson would be the school's 19th superintendent, the first woman to hold the job. johnson who graduated from the air force academy in 1981 is currently nato's deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence. the u.s. senate must approve a promotion for johnson to three-star lieutenant general which is the rank required to become superintendent. love that shot. rescue efforts will continue this morning in florida to try to find a man who was swallowed by a large sinkhole inside his

and good morning once again. here's a view at oakland. look at all the sunshine to start the morning off, unlike yesterday with patchy fog.

today we're watching clouds of a different sort. we're seeing mid and high-level clouds streaming in from the southwest. and the temperatures pretty mild, 40s and 50s outside. no 30s out there. this is kind of the by-product of the warm days we've had over the last couple of days. a warm, dry air mass over the bay area, but that's about to change as clouds continue to fill in during the day and winds will pick up by this time tomorrow. not much wind outside, calm or light winds and not much happening in the weather until later today. we'll see increasing clouds and a chance of a few sprinkles and the subtropical moisture increasing during the day, you may notice it's a little bit more muggy outside. and also word of caution out on the coast as we get some high-energy, long-period swells starting to reach the coast so look out for some sneaker waves on the coastline this weekend and the chance of showers starting to increase a little bit later today. you can see the source of the clouds coming in from the subtropical jet stream feeding offshore, the two trying to get their act together during the

day and it will lead to mostly cloudy skies especially by this afternoon and notice the increasing midlevel moisture, the lift still offshore tapping into the moisture in the south. this will be the opportunity for seeing a few sprinkles or a few light rain showers at times mainly later today into the day tomorrow. you can see the cloudy skies hour by hour and a few sprinkles or light showers at times possible overnight into sunday. now you are looking at showers there perhaps around the hilltops of the bay area and things shutting down sunday night and after that monday into the first half of tuesday looks dry and then i think we're going to see a better chance of some much-needed rain and sierra snow tuesday night into wednesday. still near 70 in san jose. even with the clouds blocking out the sun at times, mild and a muggy air mass over the bay area. low 70s and some 60s around the tri-valley back over to san francisco, we should see highs in the low to mid-60s into the north bay. more clouds for the weekend and a chance at least of seeing some showers at times and here comes the dry break on into monday and

tuesday into wednesday, notice the temperatures going from the 70s into the 50s. that's a 20-degree swing. kind of a complete u-turn in the weather but that will bring us some rain. the strongest system of the week and then some lingering showers thursday into friday. the weekend not a washout for sure, but if you have some sprinkles hitting the windshield at times, you saw the reason why, more moisture coming up the north of hawaii to the bay area. >> rob did a great job not being distracted, we have five puppies. >> cute off the charts. >> i am dying. we are going to meet them in about ten minutes. thanks, rob, for being a good sport because it's too much cute. st. mary's men's basketball team will continue its push for a spot in the ncaa tournament later this month, despite the harsh sanctions that were handed down by the ncaa for recruiting violations. the good news is that there is no postseason tournament ban for the gaels. the bad news, they get four years probation starting now in scholarships will be reduced from 13 to 11 through 2016.
