6:27 am
coastline and back into the 70s for our inland valley. so the only place that we'll see 80s will be the tri-valley and extreme south bay, gilroy. otherwise it is going to be a cool cloudier day. and then we have another chance of rein, vicky, ahead in our seven-day forecast on wednesday. we'll talk about that at 7:00. >> looking forward to it. anthony, thank you. irnlts breaking news right now. a west oakland home is evacuated as police surround the spot where two wanted gunmen are believed to be holed up. this standoff has been going on on center street since 1:00 is this morning. that's just two blocks away from the west oakland b.a.r.t. station. we first broke the story during our 11:00 newscast. police say the men inside are believed to be the same ones behind a deadly shooting at a cbs parking lot in livermore. they shot two people, one person was killed. police found the suspects in oakland. we will keep monitoring this fluid situation. and we'll update you with the very latest. a man on the run makes a daring jump from the bay bridge. but he couldn't escape the long

arm of the law this morning. he is behind bars. it started yesterday morning with a report of a man with a knife in the marina district. when officers arrived, the suspect jumped into a running patrol car. police say he drove off hitting several cars. the suspect made it all the way to treasure island before police caught up to him. he ditched the car and then jumped 30 feet from the upper deck to the lower deck of the bay bridge. a police officer also jumped after him to make the arrest. neither man was badly hurt. closed once again. the dmv is no longer open on the weekends. as you can see, the dmv that we went to in san jose wasn't very crowded. saturday business hours started when undocumented immigrants were allowed to apply for driver's licenses. anticipating a large number of requests, dmv started opening on saturday to handle the demand. this is video from when that bill first wept into effect. you can see the lines out the door. with demand now down, the dmv says it no longer needs to be

on the plaza. this morning there is new and surprising video of robin thicke and pharrell williams over the copyright lawsuit with marvin gaye's family. kristen dahlgren is here with us. >> good morning. it was the landmark plagiarism trial brought by the family of marvin gaye and there was a judgement against robin thicke and pharrell williams that shocked industry observers, but we didn't know the details of the testimony until now. robin thicke in his own words? with all due respect i was high and drunk every time i did an interview last year. >> reporter: in this taped deposition the singer tries to explain why he said certain things in interviews. >> when i give interviews i tell whatever i want to say to help sell records.

6:35 am
behind this front it is going to cool off and we are looking at the 50s and the 60s and alabama will see some of the heavier rain and also the western panhandle of florida, too. in the northeast, highs only in the 50s mountain snow and even some valley rain. we're talking about a little bit of showery activity as we head through the day today. it will mainly be confined to the north bay but you see the storm system has lots of cloud cover but not a lot of rain. you turn on the doppler radar and you can barely pick out any showers. light and spotty across the north bay and even san francisco and the coastline will get in on a little bit of drizzly activity as we head through the morning hours. elsewhere expect a good mix of sun and clouds later this afternoon from the east bay over towards the south bay. but again, san francisco and the north bay, you'll see gray skies through most of the morning. and that's your latest forecast. erica? >> dylan, thank you. turning to a controversy in tampa about how police in that city are fighting crime in certain neighborhoods.

6:37 am

6:38 am
