on the week of super bowl. especially in an el nino year where we have had high waves, high winds and very heavy rain and high surf advisories this weekend across parts of the bay area. keep that in mind. we have a weak storm system to the north. that's keeping a few clouds in place this had morning. you can see that a few high, thin clouds. east bay looking good. san francisco this morning, blue sky and really comfortable conditions. temperatures a little cool. but not as cold as it has been earlier this week. we're up to 70 degrees this afternoon in the north bay. 64 for san francisco. 65 for the east bay. we'll see a warm day as well. 67 and same for the pe nins la. the south bay up to 70 degrees. lots and lots of sunshine. that's what we're expecting over the next couple days. today it will be sunny and mild for our inland valleys. tomorrow, even warmer but the air quality goes up to moderate. keep that in mind if you have asthma. monday, a perfect beach day. maybe you're sticking around

town and want to see some sights and sounds across the bay area. looking at temperatures in the 70s. so super bowl forecast for tomorrow looks good as well. 72 degrees by kickoff and halftime. a few clouds drift iing on by. winds will be light out of the northeast. if you're looking for other things to do across the bay area, head to wine country. 70 for today. 72 for tomorrow. 73 for monday. across parts of monterey, same conditions. blue sky, temperatures near 70. the boardwalk really want to get out here and check it out. temperatures in the mid-70s sunday and for monday. so if you're sticking around town after the super bowl, got some other options to head out and enjoy. beautiful conditions not only in san jose but the rest of the bay area because of high pressure that's set up in the rockies and that's going to continue to drive our winds offshore. what that means is warm, desert air continues to slide across the california coastline. that's going to mean for 70s today and tomorrow across parts

of the south bay. a few 60s in the east bay. monday the warm air takes over. 70s widespread across the bay area. a few 80s are possible on tuesday across parts of morgan hill. so it's going to be a warm next couple days. make sure you have the shades and the sun block to go along with it. looking at winds that will be calm through the bay today and tomorrow. the coastline in the east bay valleys could see gusts up to 20 miles per hour through the next couple days. so it will stay sunny and mild as high pressure continues to dominate over the next few days. we're talking 70s across the entire south bay from now all the way to wednesday. even into next weekend as well. east bay valley, same deal. san francisco, not as hot. mid-60s through wednesday. so beautiful conditions across the bay area. >> it's like the bay area knows there are all these visitors and

we want to look good. thanks. still ahead on today in the bay, a bay area museum has caught super bowl fever. instead of showcases fine art, it's packed with all things football. we'll give you a look inside, coming up. football ... not just as a sport

... but also an art. it's something one santa aramus. some people think of football not as a sport but also as an art. it's one thing a museum can agree with. how the museum is now in the super bowl spirit. >> reporter: for a half century, santa clara's museum has celebrated fine art. but when the super bowl lands in your backyard, sometimes you got to bend the mission statement. >> we don't have an art exhibit today. >> instead the museum has replaced the paintings and sculptures with -- >> early shoulder pads. >> they took over for the hall

of fame exhibit filling it with all things super bowl. >> here is the dynasties. >> reporter: instead of talking mo'ne, the museum executive director had to bone up on her lombardi and manning. >> my sons are football fans so that helps. our focus is on art, but fortunately we're quick learners. >> reporter: the exhibit drops back to the early days of the game. >> a nose guard that was introduced in the 1890s just from 1911 the columbus panhandlers. talk about the road to quality. >> reporter: the format is drawing new visitors. >> great display of football. >> have about 50 people come through on a weekday and we have seen 500 people come through. >> we learn something, they learn something. >> reporter: people were busy doing all kinds of things you normally don't do in an art museum.

>> instant replay machine over there. >> reporter: turns out football is a lot louder than art, which has its advantages. >> i can talk and not bothering anyone. >> reporter: in the end maybe football isn't such a stretch after all. >> this is art too in a different way. >> reporter: like the super bowl, which will pack up after the game, the exhibit will stick around until april 3rd. maybe even recruit a few new art l lovers. nbc bay area news. >> we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, showing up to the super bowl in style. vips from across the country are flying into the bay area in their private planes ahead of the game. i'm live in super bowl city where it was so crowded last night they stopped letting people in. coming up shs the plan for tonight if you want to see

security is managing that risk at this year's super bowl. we take you into the secret world of surveillance and security. new this morning: a close call

and a chaotic scene for a santa rosa family.. wn a car slammed into their home. a close call and a chaotic scene for a family when a car slammed into their home. it happened around 3:00 this morning. the fire department tells us the car pushed a parked truck through the family's garage. that sent a water heater into their bedroom where one person

who was sleeping was injured. officials say the truck ain the driveway may have saved the family members' lives. . they are investigating the cause of the crash, but the driver was going at a high rate of speed. now back to the super bowl. security around the super bowl will be some of the tightest in the world. this morning we take you behind the scenes not just what the fed's are doing, but how they are doing it. how they identify suspicious people or objects. stephen stock has this exclusive story. . >> multiple sources tell me that threats to the super bowl date back at least to last year. one person on the known terrorist watch list was seen by law enforcement getting through the first level of security outside the activities at last year's super bowl in glendale, arizona. according to this threat assessment from federal agents obtained by nbc bay yararea, th remain concerned about

terrorists' interest in targeting events such as the super bowl with big crowds. >> this is actually created by our vetting and awareness team. >> reporter: it might look like just a typical office in silicon valley, this is the nerve center of some of the most sophisticated intelligence gathering of terrorist threats by federal, state and local law enforcement officials in the united states. >> kind of gives an overview of the threats in our area. >> reporter: it looks similar to this room, a room nearby set up just for super bowl 50. but before any reports of suspicious activity gets here at the joint operations center, it comes through the intelligence center and a team of five specially u trained experts who sift through a constant stream of reports that arrive 24/7. >> we have to triage suspicious activity reporting. >> reporter: triage, as in spotting the real threat among the hundreds of calls, tips and reports of suspicious activity.

>> we actually have criteria to say which ones should have the most importance, which should have the least and which one is bogus. >> reporter: the intelligence center director took us exclusively behind the scenes. >> this was developed in house by one of our fine staff from the federal agency. >> reporter: to see how the data analysis is already working. . >> what we have done is connecting things like autoed license plate systems, dispatch systems, records and management systems so we're not all islands on to ourselves. >> reporter: we got to meet the agent who developed this system. although he's based in the greater san francisco bay area, we agreed to hide his identity and not e reveal the federal agency where he works. the cutting edge data analysis system he developed has been adopted by federal security agencies and intelligence centers around the country. >> our goal is that, yes, we want people to report but we want them to report accurate information. >> reporter: it's like trying to

find a needle in a hay stake stak. they received 800 tips in the bay area alone of suspicious activity. while 17% of those tips were routine criminal activity, 3.2% of them were elevated enough to check out. but only 1% were found to be credible prompting the fbi to actually take action to stop the th threat. >> a squad would have to run down every one of those leads on their own. >> reporter: other high-tech tools will also be in use during super bowl 50 including facial recognition technology, monitoring of internet sites, and graduated security zones. >> one thing we can do better is be more forthcoming of information. >> reporter: tom served as the first secretary of homeland serity. now he's founder and chairman of ridge global, a private security consulting firm based in washington, d.c. >> it's all about managing the risk to the best you can so you can never be so self-assured that nothing is going to happen.
