photos of it. and they don't have a sense of scale. authorities were careful to say they don't know if the object is related. [ inaudible ] >> that was the press conference which was been sec retive and not so forth coming. here is the official press release about that found item. they are saying the blue fin 21 has 20% left to search. however that 20% left to scale is the deepest part of the area. they are wondering if a man

he spent six hours before the flight on sunday morning. what isn't clear is how much of that time was spent on the ramp versus the wheel well. was he in the wheel well during the preflight inspections. the boy survived the five and a half hour journey to maui. despite the low oxygen and freezing temperatures unaware that they had a stow away onboard. >> it was five and a half hours and when we landed there was nothing on the tarmac and nothing that would seem unordinary. >> the teen transferred to santa clara high because of issues he was having in his english has a second language class.

country and in the extreme east bay 68 degrees is the forecasted high for places like nasa and you will get up to 71 degrees. cool day coming your way in san francisco. you will get that vitamin document. it will look nice and sunny and once you walk outside you will need that jacket. temperatures today you will feel a windchill effect. we have the wind continuing in the coast. meanwhile single digits but this will make it feel colder. 69 and 69 in the south bay. gorgeous day coming your way. 66 in the east bay and the tri valley at 71 degrees. i want to show you the future cast and i can show you when the showers will arrive in the forecast. here is anty.

there is a serious accident. this is in petaluma it is a fire car accident. this is going to be a serious back up. if you look at the map and you see note a whole lot of red on the map. i'm assuming that lanes are open. the chp report did not specify on what was open. switching gears. you can see that traffic is starting to stack up here. the license is going to be turned on. through the pass we have that problem on 580. our final stop takes it into san jose lots of cars on the road here. again, no major accidents from san jose into palo alto into san

francisco. >> the a's have tossed out a de deal. they released a statement saying the ten year proposal did not meet the proposal. they hoped it would keep baseball in oakland. but the a's want permission to move to san jose and it is going all in turning down to stay in it's current home. >> if you are looking for a job, the future home of the 49ers are holding interview sections at the csanta clara convention center. those interested must first register online and schedule an interview. >> probably have a good seat if you work there too. >> controversial decision concerning dorms in the south bay. >> the president not getting a

let's talk about those mini dorms. they are going to have an extra hurdle to clear the city. today we talk in more detail. good morning to you. scott, you drive around the noibd and even smaller homes and tight streets and not a lot of parking. neighbors say that homes are converted to fit more people, namely students. the city council decided that they have no legal grounded to prevent the homes which were bumped up to six birthdedroom a. in the future it will prevent

the number of bedrooms at four or more. the neighborhood is about a six minute walk to santa clara university and they fear that if you mix. says students and parties it is too much for the neighborhood. developers have more say with the process than the residents do. and that is what we are asking. >> the city planner says that the buyer is within zoning laws. the city cannot limit the size of b -- the number of bedrooms only the size. >> let's check in with meteorologist. it is going to be a nice day. the spring here in the bay area is really hard to beat. i can say that. the one thing is we have those high pollen levels and maybe you

or your kids, husband someone you know suffers from allergies we are going to see those pollen levels decrease. we have more rain on the way. you want to keep that allergy medicine by your side. that is what it looks like. right now temperatures are in the 60s out there. if you are going to be headed out and about. look at this gorgeous clear start. you can make out the golden gate bridge here. you can make out the lights looking good. the sunrise will occur at 6:20 this morning. you can get a films glimpse of coming up. at the coast for today and those low clouds will return.

maybe an inch of rain in san jose. probably more like a half an inch. with fire season we will take every drop that we can get. here is the kicker. even as we get into this weekend. saturday and sunday we have a 20% chance of showers saturday and sunday. we'll look at that forecast coming up. right now let's say good morning to anthony. >> you can see it is on 101 southbound. the back up, i put a markker on it, you can see it. so this is one of our trouble spots, if you satisfy this area it will be a slow go. only one lane is blocked. that is the good news. a lot of the activity has been pushed over to the shoulder. it could be worse considering only one lane is blocked.

i take you outside and you can see the lights have not been turned on and the traffic has been backing up here. another location takes us into the pass and you can see 580 moving out any problem. traffic streaming in. you can see in san jose traffic starting to bag up. starting to hit the brakes and things are starting to back up. coming in. it continues to move smoothly here. back to you. >> thank you. the mother of a high school honor student who was killed in that horrific tour bus crash near chico is suing the bus company. seeking $100 million in damaging. the lawsuit claims there were not emergency exits on the bus. her daughter died when a fedex
