huge level of dissatisfaction. 68% say the country is stagnant or worse off since the president took off. 31% say we're better off. 6 of 10 think the country is headed in the wrong direction and a huge percent of americans, 70% action are dissatisfied with the economy. the most telling a whopping 81% disapprove of congress. so not just the president taking heat here. so the numbers are what make tonight's speech one of the most important of the president's career, on a brighter note bay area will be well represented tonight. the first lady is hosting three people you'll recognize in her viewing box for the speech, keeping wake-up the tradition of hosting extraordinary americans for the state of the union. first up is mayor ed lee who will have a prime viewing spot next to the first lady, and v.p. wife joe biden, now the white house does not say specifically why mayor lee has been chosen but like the president he is an advocate for immigration reform and minimum wage increases. also stanford grad jason collins

their water use but the board can certainly ask. and that's what the board is expected to do at its meeting tonight because the water levels are low. the lexington reservoir behind me is at 30% capacity. this is video of the almaden reservoir south of san jose, you can see the soil there is parched, cracked. that reservoir is at just 3% capacity. the district wasn't going to consider this voluntary reduction until spring but because there has been so little rain they decided to move it up for consideration tonight. the board expected to ask its customers to cut back by 10%. that's 10% which is actually on the low side when you consider that other bay area water districts and the governor are requesting 20%. >> our plan looks at the water supply that we have available, all our different water sources, and with those calculations at this point it looks like what we need locally is a 10% reduction and then as things go on in the

winter that might go up. >> 10% reduction means using about 20 gallons less each day. if you were to cut your shower by roughly 5 minutes that would save 20 gallons right there. it should be noted though the south bay reservoirs are low, the ground water supply is in fair condition. calfire also taking measures to deal with the dry condition, asking homeowners to cut back on dry brush and maintain 100 feet of defensible space around homes. why is that request so unusual? because cal fire doesn't usually make that request until the summertime but here we are in january with conditions that are typical of august. reporting live at lexington reservoir, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> we all have to make a difference. thanks so much, bob. a quick shower is tough. two minutes? >> as early as we get up sometimes it's that fast. meteorologist christina loren has joined us with a look at the

sheriff's department helping to search for him. tyler simmons is 16, 6 feet tall, 140 pounds, with brown curly hair, green eyes and last seen wearing a thin goatee. these are pictures that his family shared from last christmas. he was last seen wearing a gray zip-up sweatshirt, black jean, black beanie hat, white shoes, and he was wearing an orange back pack. he also had a dell lap top computer and purple nintendo ds game player. a custodian spotted tyler at ralston middle school last night around 7:00 p.m. he contacted the family. the family searched, had no luck. about an hour later they called police. tyler attends carlmont high school, lived in belmont till about 18 months ago. that's when his family moved to fremont. but tyler still goes to school in belmont. normally his dad would pick him up at the library after school before 5:00 p.m. between 4:30 and 5:00.

this time he wasn't there. as you can imagine, very upsetting, the family wants him home. dog teams have searched for him. investigators don't suspect foul play. they think he may have had a disagreement with his family and may have led him to walk away. everyone wants him home safely. christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you. >> 5:32. officials want to talk to anyone who came in contact with a registered sex offender caught trying to get into a south bay school. theodore lorigo allegedly showed up at the day school in december. police say he usually dresses as a woman but looked like a man that day. the head master says lorigo said he was interested in the school for his kids but didn't have an appointment like most families. he left when asked but was recently arrested for being a sex offender on school proxt the megan's law website shows she registered as a sex offender in

2001 after he kidnapped a child under the age of 14. >> the b.a.r.t. officer shot and killed by a fellow officer will be remembered today. b.a.r.t. officials say sergeant tom smith was accidentally shot by another officer while they were searching an apartment in dublin. the public is invited to pay its respects for sergeant smith tonight from 7:00 to 9:00 at the chapel of the chimes church in hayward on mission boulevard. a funeral will be held tomorrow at 10:00 at the neighborhood church of castro valley. >> south bay homeowners could be asked to cut back on water use because of the drought. bob redell joins us from the lexington reservoir with a look at how low the water levels are across the bay area. good morning. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you laura. they are low enough that the district is going to be asking its customers expected to at least, to cut back on their water use. the santa clara district can't force its customers to do it but

they are going to make that request or expected to at their board meeting. the lexington reservoir behind me, talking about how low it is, it's at 30% capacity. take a look at this video. looks like something from death valley. that parched soil and cracked ground is from the almaden reservoir south of san jose where it's now at just 3% of capacity. the district wasn't going to consider this reduction until the spring but because there has been so little rain they decided to move it up for consideration to tonight. the board is expected to ask its customers to cut back by 10%. one customer we spoke with doesn't think that's enough. >> i think that's the minimum. it's clearly been a drought. we haven't had rain for months. so we need to cut back. >> reporter: cutting back by 10% means using about 20 gallons less each day, cutting your shower by five minutes. for some comparison 10% is what

the district in the south bay is asking. other districts in the bay area even the governor of the state requesting 20%. should be noted though the south bay reservoirs are low, the district tells us that the ground water supply is in fair condition. cal fire also taking measures to deal with the dry conditions. it is asking homeowners to cut back on the dry brush and maintain 100 feet of defensible space around homes. you probably wonder well, we hear that all the time. but not until the summertime. that's what make this is request unusual. here we are in january with conditions that are typical of august. i have a bad feeling that meteorologist christina loren is going to confirm there's not enough rain on the way to change that soon. >> got more after good feeling to be honest with you. we're going to see action, bob. i love hearing that report. just to put things in perspective for everybody. march 2011 the lexington reservoir was over flowing into a spill way so it goes to show

all it's going to take is about three to five systems and we're talking a different story. we have really big deficits to make up, nonetheless we're still looking okay at least for the next two weeks. that storm system is going to stay to the south where we need to the be. that's where it's been missing. as a result the east coast has been stuck in this really brutal cold winter pattern. they are going to get that ridge of high pressure over there so they will be able to warm up as we're starting to get more of a normal pattern for winter in the bay area. that is really, really good information as long as we're still in the drought, conserve water. it's always a good idea whether we're in a drought or no. marin county getting light activity. as i widen out most of the bay area starting out dry. that's pre-frontal precipitation. that's not all we're expecting. the heavier stuff arrives throughout tomorrow and especially on thursday. but for today, you might want to grab a light jacket, maybe a hoody if you are waking up with us in the north bay.

we'll see the steady drizzle for the next few hours. and as a result you'll hit the mid-60s out in the north bay later on today. so let's get to the good stuff. future cast agrees with me at this poychblt i'm able to show you with the graphic how that storm window is going to affect you where you live. we stop the clock tuesday, 6:00 a.m., you can see here are showers moving into the north bay. that pre-frontal precipitation will subside. then as we head through tomorrow the storm track starts to dig to the south. you can see that here wednesday at 6:00 a.m. getting that moderate precipitation just to the north of sonoma county. it moves in by about 11:00 p.m. on wednesday. remember, the seven-day forecast shows you what this cold front is going to do to your temperatures. throughout all of my broadcasts, let's get this thing moving, we stop the clock for you heading through 5:00 a.m., look at that, moderate rainfall. that could potentially bring about a half inch of rain right along the peninsula. we need that rain. it's also going to potentially produce up to two feet, that's

right i said it, two feet of powder above 7,000 feet in tahoe. it's the snow pack we're concerned about. at 8:00 a.m., all of that rich moisture moves in so as long as this maintains its organization we're looking good but that means you and i are going to be busy again. what are you tracking now? >> right now we're tracking a build for fremont for 880 with the visual here, the live camera. those are the headlights heading south. no problem for the speeds. the sensors showing at the limit, toward mission boulevard. 880 and 680. mission itself slows a bit heading from 680 over to 880. the arrow at the bottom of the screen, north 680 approaching scott creek road. we had the pickup truck and a passenger vehicle there reportedly got into a trash. the truck swerved after reportedly hitting a tire so that's the nine tire there is, two vehicles in the center divide. we don't know where the tire is. chp has to check it out.

880 north a smooth drive fast coliseum. picking up the company for both directions of the nimitz but close to the limit throughout downtown oakland to the san mateo. back to you. >> thanks a lot. 5:39. president preparing for his state of the union address and it is expected to include a major announcement regarding minimum wage. we'll have details 18 live report. >> new video in, why these people are lined up outside a business that doesn't even open until tomorrow morning at 10:00.

president obama will face a divided congress tonight when he delivers his state of the union address. peggy bunker joins us with a preview plus a new poll just out that shows how much of a challenge the president is actually facing. good morning. >> good morning. boy, you can't underline that

enough. some call this the president's last chance to turn things around. the pressure is on for him to address head on the public pessimism about what our government has or has not been able to pleasure. poll number shows the president will be addressing the country tonight with a 43% job approval rating, that is a tough number to rally the country on and they get worse. this recent nbc news poll which shows a huge level of dissatisfaction. 68% say the country is worse off. 31% say we're better off. 60% of americans think the country is actually headed in the wrong direction, and a huge 70% of americans are dissatisfied with the economy. most telling a whopping 81% disapprove of congress. so those numbers are what will make tonight's speech one of the most important of the president's career. and in fact, before the speech has been made already republicans are ready with their rebuttal. we turn to tracie potts in washington, d.c. boy, a big night for the

president. >> reporter: it's a big night for republicans too because this is going to be their chance to get their message out that they don't think this administration, this president, is working for the economy to help the health of the economy of this country. you are right, they have written three responses from the republican party, we'll hear that tonight after the president's speech. there is already an ad by the rnc on line t the republican national committee questioning why people would want to watch when the president is going to say the same thing he said last year and the year before. they pulled snippets from the addresses from the last two years, where he repeated some of the things that he wants to do. their message this president is all talk and no action. >> i at least want the american people to understand that while this president enjoys giving speeches he doesn't actually enjoy following through on his promises. it would be nice to hear how he is going to put all of these speeches into action. >> translator: white house is hoping that criticism won't be

valid after the president speaks. we'll hear what republicans have to say immediately after the president's address. >> boy, this is amazing already speaking out before the speech has been made. thank you so much. we'll be very busy there tonight. on a brighter note the bay area will be well represented at the state of the union. the first lady is keeping up with the tradition of hosting extraordinary americans in her viewing box. and mayor ed lee will be one of them. he'll have a prime viewing spot for state of the union speech, the white house did not say exactly why mayor lee had been chosen but like the president he is an advocate for immigration reform and higher minimum wages. next to the first lady will be jason collins who in april became first openly gay player on a major american team sport. and in the box is joey huddy. you may not know his name but it's likely you will. he is 16 but when he was 14 he did this. famous for attending the white house science fair where he introduced the president to the

extreme marshmallow cannon he designed. he is the youngest ever intern at intel. he got that after the ceo noticed him at a science fair, offered him a job there on the spot. joey's motto is don't be bored, make something. great advice. >> thanks, peggy. we're going to have full coverage of the president's state of the union address, our coverage starts at 6:00 with brian williams, we'll be streaming the state of the union on line at nbcbayarea.com. happening now, millions are bundling up against the cold winter weather including fast falling snow, frigid wind, in ohio a perfect example of the extreme weather, high winds and snow creating something i've never seen, snow rollers. people bundled up in chicago all the way down to houston where icy roads are making travel dangerous. officials asking people to be
