welcome to "cbs this morning" charlie rose and gayle king are off, so anthony mason and i are holding down the fort! >> yes, we are. nice to be here. congratulations to charlie. >> yes. we'll have more on that later in the show. we're going to begin with the weather, because as you wake up in the west you are likely among 100 million americans facing a severe weather threat this weekend. >> and the strong storm is taking aim at california this morning. more heavy rain is raising the risk of flooding. a 12-mile stretch of pacific coast highway near malibu is closed because of potential rock and mud slides. ben tracy is in glendora, east of l.a., where hundreds of people are already under threat. ben, good morning. >> reporter: anthony and norah, good morning. it is a wet morning here in glendora, california. this is one of those neighborhoods that's under mandatory evacuation. they've put up concrete barriers, hoping that any water and mud that comes off the hillsides back here will rush down the street and stay away

from the homes. they've also given out 30,000 sandbags, preparing for up to 6 inches of rain. the wet weather began moving into southern california overnight, threatening to unleash the heaviest rain the region has seen in three years. it's the second time in days the area's getting hit. slick roads made for dangerous driving conditions wednesday night, but this latest storm is expected to pack more of a punch, dumping up to an inch of rain per hour. >> after 8:00 p.m. we can't come back up. >> reporter: thursday officials evacuated 1,000 homes in glendora and asurza amid fears of flooding and mud slides. both are nestled in hillsides scorched in a recent wildfire. >> reporter: all this area will become massive debris and dirt flows. >> you've got a recently burned hillside here with limited vegetation and a very steep slope. it's a recipe for what the experts say is potential for a great deal of damage. >> reporter: crews installed

concrete barriers hoping to minimize some of that damage. the goal -- funneling water and mud down the street and away from homes. homeowners also worked to build their own last line of defense. >> this homeowner put up some plastic on his hillside hoping to prevent some slides. >> we are as prepared as we can be. i hope it's good enough. >> reporter: even before the rain started falling, many people packed up and heeded warnings. still, some are staying put, at least for now. >> it looks like the rain's really building up and there's water flowing. we'll probably decide to go but for right now, we're staying and assessing how the storm's going to do. >> reporter: you know when we have wildfires here there are people who will stay behind and try to protect their homes, but the police say when it comes to floods and mud slides there's really nothing you can do to stop it. they say you might as well be safe and get out. anthony and norah? >> ben tracy, thanks. it's too cold to be raining in chicago this morning. the windchill there is below zero.

this arctic blast stretches from the northern rockies to the east coast. elaine quijano is in detroit, one of the cities hardest hit by the cold winter. elaine, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony and norah and to our viewers in the west. the temperature here in detroit is hovering in the single digits, and to the north in parts of michigan's upper peninsula, the temperatures dipped to minus 30 degrees. now, around here sections of the detroit river have frozen over. residents are struggling to deal with the punishing conditions. the midwest is experiencing its most extreme winter in decades. >> it's cold as hell right now, man. it's like 1,000 knives hitting you in every direction. >> reporter: record-setting snow paired with subzero temperatures have struck the area hard with detroit topping the national weather service's misery index. it has been a brutal winter. 88% of the great lakes are frozen over, the largest cover in 20 years. and temperatures have turned deadly.

at least 21 people have frozen to death in minnesota, including a 6-year-old girl who was discovered outside her home thursday in behmidji. police are investigating her death. in indiana, wind-blown snow caused near whiteout conditions leading to a massive pileup in ft. wayne, involving at least 15 vehicles. detroit has endured temperatures below freezing for 69 days this winter. restless locals are finding ways to brave the outdoors. >> if you stand still for any length of time, you're going to get hypothermia or frostbite, so you've got to get near a nice, warm fire like this and you've got to move around a little bit. you'll stay nice and warm. >> reporter: detroit public schools are closed today because of the bitter cold and the thaw is still days away. temperatures here are not expected to get above freezing until next wednesday. anthony and norah? >> elaine quijano, thank you. this new weather threat is so big, we brought meteorologist megan glaros of our partner

station back here. good morning. >> good morning, norah and anthony, and good morning to everyone in the west bracing for a big storm system. it has already started to rain along the coast of california and on off in towards washington and oregon but watch what happens through the course of the day today. as we see, the storm system continues to bring moisture all the way across the nation sending it as far east as maine by the end of the weekend. but for you in the west it is all about the intense rainfall totals, which could top 2 1/2 inches across l.a. in towards the foothills, it could potentially be more and that brings about the threat for mud slides or debris issues and also for flooding. so, that will be a huge factor going into the next several days. the low pressure then tracks eastward, picking up some very cold air and creating an issue of snow that could extend all the way from idaho to the east coast as the low pressure system continues to track in that direction. we're going to see some ice on the southern extent of the storm system. and as we continue to track it looking at the potential, believe it or not, for more winter weather in the first week

of march we're looking at anywhere from 6 to 12 inches all the way from chicago to new york city. so, we are going to be watching this storm system through the course of the weekend. here we go yet again. anthony? norah? >> i guess my plan to put the snow shovel away after march 1st isn't going to work. megan, thank you very much. the unusually rough winter may explain storm clouds for the economy. fed chair janet yellen says she's keeping an eye on a slowdown in consumer spending and job growth. yellen told congress thursday she thinks the cold played a role, but she isn't sure how much. ukraine's ousted president, viktor yanukovych, broke his silence this morning in russia for the first time since leaving his country. he blames his opponent for last week's deadly protests and there is new drama in the key region of crimea. an official now says ukraine still controls two airports reportedly taken over by pro-russian gunmen while dozens of russian marines surround a coast guard base. clarissa ward is in kiev with

the deposed president's defiance. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in that press conference yanukovych said that she is stillhe is still the president of ukraine. he claims that he did not run away, that he was simply forced to leave because his car was fired on. meanwhile, in crimea the situation remains tense and very fluid after militants took over two airports there. yanukovych in his press conference called on the crimeans to avoid bloodshed, and he said that the russian military should not get involved. outside crimea's capital airport this morning gunmen in military fatigues patrolled. it's not known who these men are, but they are believed to be members of a pro-russian militia. the airport raid happened late last night. militants took over the control tower and part of the main terminal. so far, flights are still operating normalallyly. the men said they were just there to prevent violence.

"we're here to insure general order," one of the gunmen said. "we don't want radicals coming on planes from kiev." 60% of crimea's residents are ethnically russian. many here see the new ukrainian leadership as illillegitimate raising the prospect of a pro-separatist rebellion. today russia began massive military exercises on ukraine's border with some 150,000 troops involved. demitri dimitri trenin a military analyst in moscow explained their position. >> we mean business. we do not want to invade. we do not want to take over countries, but we will stand out to defend our interests. >> reporter: tensions have been further aflamed by the news yesterday that russia has given refuge to ousted president viktor yanukovych, who is wanted in ukraine on charges of mass murder for his role in the killings of 80 protesters last week. people here like 20-year-old student tanya, are appalled that

he will not face justice. >> i want -- we want to kill him, because he is not a human. he is a monster. >> reporter: he's a monster? >> yes. >> reporter: in his press conference yanukovych also said that he he plans to return to ukraine once the security situation allows it but he said he will not participate in may's presidential elections. he called them illegitimate. for "cbs this morning," clarissa ward kiev. >> very fragile situation there. clarissa ward thank you. if you have a web cam, your picture may be in the hands of british intelligence this an flash flood warnings for the cities of redwood city, menlo park, east palo alto, palo alto, mountain view and los altos until 7:30 a.m. at 6:49 this morning, national weather service doppler radar indicated an area of moderate to heavy rain south of highway 35, or 9 miles southwest of cupertino moving northeast at 25 miles per hour. flash flood warning means that

flooding is occurring or is eminent. this concludes the activation of the emergency alert system. vast amounts of private electronic communication, including e-mails, and course, now pictures. "the guardian" newspaper reports that an official british spy agency gchq used software provided by the ns toonka to vacuum up millions of video conversations by yahoo! users. that is, it was invisibly eavesdropping on conversations like this, the kinds of things that are used more and more these days to chat or even do business. but because video files are so large, the uk government computers were only capturing one still frame every five minutes. yahoo! which said it knew nothing about the program, said it amounted to "a whole new level of violation of our users' privacy." they admit the program is called

operation optic nerve, working with face recognition technology. the government says it was entily legal. philip mud, a former analyst, says whether it's legal is another question. >> the question this raises is the same question that's raised by the acquisition of phone and e-mail data. it's not whether you can do it it's whether citizens in britain and the united states believe their governments should do it. >> reporter: the allegation that the government is not only reading and listening but also watching our private lives is bound to intensify that debate. there is one thing, though, that's got britons laughing this morning. the revelation in the gchq documents that their analysts were warned to use caution when looking at the intercepts because up to 11% of them contained what it called undesirable nudity. >> incredible. elizabeth palmer thank you. and it is rare to hear the

president of the united states use the east room of the white house to talk about his past drug use but it was part of the president's announcement of a new initiative to create opportunities for minority boys and young men. in a group, in front of a group of chicago teenagers, the president shared some of his own personal struggles while growing up. >> i didn't have a dad in the house. and i was angry about it even though i didn't necessarily realize it at the time. i made bad choices. i got high without always thinking about the harm that it could do. i didn't always take school as seriously as i should have. i made excuses. sometimes i sold myself short. >> now the president says his family and teachers never gave up on him. several foundations are pledging $200 million to help with this new program. general motors is racing to fix more than 1.5 million faulty

ignition switches this morning. the automaker issued another apology thursday for its failure to act earlier, saying "we deeply regret the events that led to the recall and this investigation." the defect is linked to 31 crashes and 13 deaths. federal regulators now face criticism over how they handled the investigation. senator edward markey wants changes to the way problems are reported. >> i think that obviously, general motors withheld critical information, but nhtsa could have been and should have been more aggressive in requesting the information necessary in order to have an earlier warning of the danger that the public was running in driving one of these vehicles. >> documents show gm knew about the defect in 2004 but only issued the first recall this month. additional tests are planned for 13 workers exposed to a radiation leak in new mexico. the leak happened two weeks ago at the waste isolation pilot plant near carlsbad.

it's the nation's first deep underground nuclear dump. the employees were working above ground when the leak was detected down below. preliminary tests show they inhaled radioactive particles. the president of the facility says the workers are being monitored. >> it is too early to say that you know to make any conclusions about whether my employees are in danger or not, and we will take care of them you know and make sure that they are, you know taken care of. >> the leak came just nine days after a truck in the plant's mines caught fire. officials say the incidents though, are not related. russia is making good on a recent promise to expand its military footprint around the globe. a russian warship is docked in cuba's savannah harbor this morning. that's about 100 miles from florida. the ship quietly floated into the cruise terminal with no explanation from cuban state media. the russian ship is from a class generally used for

intelligence-gathering. time to show you this morning's headlines. the "washington post" says attorney general eric holder is back home after being hospitalized for several hours. holder is 63 years old. he felt faint and short of breath during a meeting yesterday. he was diagnosed with an elevated heart rate. holder received medication restoring the rate to normal. a spokesman says the attorney general experienced similar but milder symptoms a few years ago.

. hi, i'm meteorologist lawrence karnow in the kpix 5 weather center. a major winter storm impacting the bay area. very heavy rainfall, gusty wind, trees coming down and now the potential for flooding t is very gray and very wet all around the bay area. heavy storm system developing overnight, but continuing to roll onshore. the eye of the storm, still off the coastline, but it's going to sag closer to the coastline throughout the day and probably over the next 24 hours. we are looking at a flash flood warning now in effect for parts of san mateo, santa clara and santa cruz counties, including redwood city, menlo park, east palo alto and also mountain view and los altos. those areas are expecting to see some rapid rises in the small creeks. flooding is eminent or expected shortly. in the meantime, high-def doppler radar showing you we're not letting up with much on the rain. lot of heavy rainfall overnight

and we're seeing another band of strong storms making its way in along the peninsula, into parts of the central bay. expect to see the rain continuing on and off throughout the day today, maybe tapering off a little into the evening hours. temperatures will stay very mild. looks like finally catching a break as we head in towards saturday afternoon. we are going to check on your wet roadways when we come back. dinner's not my strong suit. we get to the end of the day and i am toast. in fact, we've had toast for dinner. but tonight i nailed it. kfc family feast. 9 pieces any recipe, 3 large sides, 6 biscuits, $19.99. do not give up on dinner. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] spring is calling. get sta-green fertilizer now just $8 at lowe's. ♪ ♪

the state of california as you probably know is in the middle of a major drought, so obviously, we need the rain but what we really need more than anything is to hear over and over again how much we need the rain. >> we are indeed going to get some much-needed rain. >> we are excited about the much-needed rain. >> some much-needed rain. >> much-needed rain. >> much-needed rain. >> much-needed rain. >> message received. >> and they're getting that rain. welcome back. >> which is much needed. >> indeed. welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour the ad teens aren't supposed to like or even see on facebook, from dating sites to scantily clad models, the controversy behind one part of the social media giant's $7 billion revenue stream. plus the new satellite that could redefine extreme weather predictions. the technology that could make

it more important than the hubble telescope or the mars rover. that's ahead. and this morning, sources tell cbs news the department of transportation will release a 400-page report today on america's aging infrastructure. the d.o.t. is worried about potential disasters similar to major bridge failures in washington state and minnesota. the study highlights a record-setting $86 billion backlog of transit repair projects. jeff peguese is at the bridge over the hudson river. good morning. >> good morning, norah and anthony. good morning to our viewers out west. that is the tappan zee bridge behind me, one of the most heavily traveled spans in the country. it was built to last 50 year and even though the 50 years has expired, it's still in use and routinely dumping chunks of concrete into the river below. every day, 180,000 cars and trucks use this 17-mile stretch of interstate 95 in philadelphia.

we shouldn't be hearing that sound. >> we should not be hearing that sound. that sound means -- >> reporter: decay. >> -- decay, that this is a structure that needs to ultimately be replaced. >> reporter: the pennsylvania department of transportation says it will cost nearly $1 billion to repair 90% of that from the federal government. septa, the city's massive transit system is having its own problems. this 91-year-old bridge can literally be chipped away with a hammer. should it be falling off so easily? >> no. no, it's not a good situation. and basically, like i said the water's moving through the structure. >> reporter: as the nation's aging infrastructure starts to break down federal funding is falling behind. secretary of transportation anthony foxx. >> it's a termite in the basement problem. it's literally years and years of slow steady deterioration in our infrastructure and poor maintenance. >> reporter: the department of transportation estimates that the u.s. needs to spend at least

$124 billion a year to keep roads and bridges in good condition. in 2010 all levels of government combined only spent $100 billion, $24 billion short. the obama administration has called for more infrastructure investments, but any new spending will have a tough time getting through the current gridlocked congress, especially in an election year. >> it's not going to happen just because washington designs it. it's going to happen because the people of america demand to have a 21st-century transportation system. >> reporter: in philadelphia, septa would like to update some of its equipment from the turn of the last century. >> i know you were shocked when you first came in. it looks kind of like something frankenstein had in his basement. >> reporter: this equipment has been powering the trains continuously since the 1930s. operators are worried it will stop working if they turn it off. the new bridge to replace the tappan zee bridge is under construction. it's expected to open in 2016

and be completed by 2018. norah and anthony? >> all right great reporting, jeff pegues. thank you. in the wake of massive data breaches at target and other retailers, wyatt andrews gained access to the secret service's electronic crimes task force. they're tracking down cyber thieves who can buy your personal information for less than a cup of coffee. >> reporter: inside secret service headquarters, ed lowry, the special agent in charge of the criminal investigation division, gave us a rare look at how the secret service plans to find the criminals who attack target neiman marcus and other retailers. here, agents are tracking an internet chat room in russia where organized cyber thieves openly do business. >> this is a place for them to move to find individuals that they need to carry out specific crimes and then a place to vend their stolen information. >> reporter: this is a marketplace? >> this is a markt place. >> reporter: so credit cards might be on here or the availability of credit card numbers? >> yes, the credit cards would be available, social security

numbers, personal information. >> reporter: on this posting, u.s. social security numbers are being offered for $2 each. agent lowry says the recent attacks showcase how sophisticated the hackers have become. what's more sophisticated? >> their attack method. >> reporter: in the target intrusion intrusion, the thieves stole millions of credit card numbers electronically, left no trace of the attack and defeated millions worth of state-of-the-art software target had in place for protection. back in this chat room this hacker is offering an av check, the latest know-how in how to beat antivirus technology. >> we've seen the criminals adapt their attack methodologies, their attack tools to the changing technologies that the corporations deploy. >> reporter: so they read the antiviral software -- >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: the antimall wear software? >> absolutely and they will personalize their attack for the victim they are targeting. >> reporter: the criminals on these chat rooms know that the secret service, private security firms and the major banks are

also online watching these deals, but the hackers use multiple servers to conceal who and where they are. agents told us the target hackers are not as anonymous as they think they are and that a global manhunt is on to make an arrest. for "cbs this morning," wyatt andrews, washington. a new controversy involving facebook this morning. the "wall street journal" is looking into questionable ads that could be seen by kids and the fallout. >> one example, a teenaged girl connected with a dating app heavily advertised on the site. that allowed anyone to see her photo, rake the girl and even view her facebook profile. dennis berman is the "wall street journal" business editor. good morning. >> good morning to you guys. >> so just how bad are these ads? how dangerous are they for teens? >> well, a couple of examples beyond the one you brought up there. we had one example where children were able to see, 13 to 17 years old, were able to see a gun holster for using a

concealed weapon parts for ak-47s were advertised to teens. another example where teens were basically asked to come on and be nude web cam models. all this was targeted at teens 13 to 17 years old. >> how prevalent, dennis, are these ads? >> our reviews showed at least 71 different ads for one particular service. and the interesting thing about it is that the system is automated. so any one of a million advertisers on facebook can essentially reach those teens in whichever manner they choose. so the system doesn't have the controls perhaps, that facebook would have felt. >> every parent at home hearing this right now is saying i have to get on my kids when they're on facebook. are they getting these kinds of ads? but facebook sent a response to your story and told us here at cbs news "we're disappointed that the "wall street journal" decided to run an entire story focused on a cherry-picked number of ads on facebook." so, they say you're cherry-picking. >> well, i think the question for facebook is how it wants to evaluate things that come on to its system. in a lot of situations they

didn't even know the ads that were on its own site. so, for facebook and lots of other online companies, they want to automate because automation makes things cheaper and more profitable for them but when it comes to teenagers and things targeted at 13 to 17-year-olds, they may not just have the controls that perhaps they should. >> well, that raises the obvious question, which is when you have as many ads coming into the system as they do and as many users as they have how do you make a system that's really fool-proof? >> you don't, and you try to automate it as much as you can, and facebook does have some human intervention into some of these ads, but i think perhaps the standard of care should be a little bit higher for those kids who are 13 to 17 years old. some of these girls who were asked to come on and be nude web cam models does facebook want that to happen or not? does automation solve that problem? i think that's the question they have to ask. >> what can people do to prevent their teens from seeing these advertisements? >> that's the interesting thing about a lot of this. kids and parents, they really have to do this online stuff together. and it's hard because kids have their phones.

maybe you have kids. they're glued to their phones. parents really have to look out for the kids because companies, as much as they say they will probably are not. >> all right, dennis berman thank you so much. >> thanks. and with more snow threatening millions you'll see how a new satellite will predict storms like never before. more real news in the morning right here on "cbs this morning." predicts like never before. real news right here on "cbs this morning."

>> cause for celebration, anthony and norah, because every tool in our arsenal is a good thing, you know? it is an imperfect science, but there is much we still don't know about precipitation itself clouds, storm systems that form in the sky. soon however, we should finally get some answers. >> all systems are ready. >> the high-tech satellite was blasted into orbit without much fanfare, even though it will soon help meteorologists around the world forecast big storms. the $1.2 billion global precipitation measurement core observatory is a joint mission between nasa and its japanese counterpart. >> the hubble space telescope and the mars curiosity rover, high-profile spacecraft like that get all the attention, but this mission is arguably much more important to the average person. >> nasa says it will help predict weather patterns after a year of deadly tornado outbreaks in the heartland, massive droughts out west and record-breaking snowfall seemingly everywhere.

>> it's going to help the forecasters improve their climate models and that's going to pay big dividends down the road. >> its goal, to serve as an anchor and link data from other weather satellites to more accurately measure precipitation anywhere in the world every three hours. candace carlisle is the deputy project manager. >> i think that everyone can understand pretty easily how being able to better understand the weather, better understand these snow systems, better understand these hurricanes or tsunami systems will improve all of our lives. >> the 8,500-pound satellite was built at nasa's goddard space flight center in greenbelt, maryland. it was then shipped by plane and barged, where it was then reassembled for launch from an island off japan. the satellite is expected to start providing realtime data within two months which is thankfully, just in time for the start of hurricane season. >> which comes after the lovely winter we've been having. >> which comes after the lovely winter we've been having,ies. >> how much of a game-changer is this? >> it's huge. i cannot even tell you, because

71% of the globe is covered by ocean. we only get radar data about a couple hundred miles offshore. so essentially, the entire atlantic ocean we have not much idea what's happening in terms of the radar picture. we see satellite imagery shows us cloud cover, but now we're finally going to get an idea about what is happening over the ocean itself. and this will be huge, because all that data will be fed into satellites and that data then goes into computer systems, computer models. we get a better idea of where these storms go. >> so better science, and as you know a lot of people though, take out their rage at meteorologists. >> oh, i know. i know. >> why did they get it wrong! you know? >> i always say, we get so many bad looks in the grocery store, especially this winter because people will say, what is going on? why did you tell us it's 6 inches and it's 12? well, because we do the best that we can with the knowledge that we have but every piece of information that's fed into those models gives us a better idea of where these storms

a major storm now pounding the bay area. more heavy rainfall on the way. flood warnings have been issued now in a good part of the bay area. we're seeing rapid rises in some of the creeks and the streams. outside right now, a lot of clouds out there. you can see the storm system still spinning off the coastline. that will bring with it heavy rainfall throughout the morning hours. then maybe begin to taper off to some showers by the afternoon. highs only are going to be in the the 50s for today. looks like showers could continue into tomorrow monk. -- tomorrow morning. the buzz around hollywood this morning isn't only about the oscars. there's a growing movement to protect celebrities' children from the paparazzi. nancy o'dell talks to the stars who started the push. that's ahead right here on "cbs this morning."

then her purse and finally her body was found floating in a canal. irene had been beaten, raped, and suffocated. also in the canal a curious clue, a slide viewer with a long black cord. it turned out it belonged to father john feit the priest who heard irene's last confession. >> that's horrible that's an insult. >> father feit told the police two different stories where irene gave her confession that night. he had scratches on his hands and later failed a lie detector test. feit was not arrested and irene says as a young girl she came upon a scene with her father and later explains why. >> i saw him sitting in a chair with a white hankerdkerchief and he was crying. >> what was he crying out? >> later i found out my daddy was asked to turn in his records of the investigation of the

case. >> many in irene's case suspected that some kind of agreement had been made between the church and the authorities but there's no hard evidence of that. nevertheless father feit disappeared until this man came forward. >> i covered up the evidence. i'm sorry that i did. >> dale tacheny once was a monk at a monastery. he said in 1963 john feit arrived and he talked all about killing a young woman on easter weekend in a rectory. >> he assaulted her, bound her and gagged her. as he left he could hear her saying i kgt breathe, i can't breathe. >> despite tacheny's account, john feit is a free man. he left priesthood long ago and we recently caught up with him in scottsdale, arizona.

good morning. a major storm system rolling into the bay area overnight. we've seen some very heavy rainfall out the door we go now. the showers continuing. a couple of sunny breaks in between the clouds but we've got plenty more rain on the way. toward ocean beach, the camera shaking around on a lens a bit. we have more showers moving o. we'll see that on and off throughout the day with a possibility of some thunderstorms. this is really a cool looking storm. look at that low center off the coastline spinning around. that is slowly going to migrate along the coast all the way into southern california. but as it does, it will spin plenty of showers our way. so our high def doppler radar showing things have broken up a little bit. still heavy storms into the south bay. we're seeing strong storms sliding into the can take cruz -- santa cruz mountains.

some places have seen over 2 inches of rain already. an urban and small stream flooding advisory was in effect and may have to be reissued again. temperatures running in the 50s. showers diminishing by the latter part of the afternoon and again picking up tonight. so a stormy day on tap for the bay area. looks like showers could continue into saturday morning. then we start to dry things out a little on sunday. by monday and tuesday, at least a slight chance of a few showers mainly to the north. i think a chance of rain for everybody again on wednesday. we're going to check out your road conditions when we come back. with a better kind of taco made with jennie-o ground turkey cooked thoroughly to 165. i feed my kids turkey tacos over regular tacos any day. i think they are light and they are just fresh tasting. yeah. when i eat well, i feel well. anncr: it's time for a better taco. the tacos tonight were pretty much perfect. make the switch.

glaros from our chicago station is here to take us through the day. >> what we are looking at now is essentially what is coming onshore in the west coast at this very moment. could be as much as ten inches. as the storm system pushes eastward we see a low pressure running into cold air when that happens, and you snow from idaho parts of nevada and all the way over to the east coast. this could be a big storm system. what will happen is the low pressure will pick up moisture from the gulf of mexico and the cold air from the north and it could mean as much as 6 to 12 inches of snowfall in a swath that could span 1500 miles. it's likely to last through monday. >> thanks. more than 100 million people watched at least part of the ten-hour miniseries the bible on

the history channel last march, and now the producers are turning the tv special into a feature called "son of god" that opens today. the pulpits are driving big crowds to the box office. >> pastor rick warren was greeting his flock last night, not at a church but at a multiplex. he is urging his churchgoers to become movie goers. >> i told my congregation if you have to skip church to go see the movie, go see the movie this sunday. >> our father in heaven feeds the birds in the air. >> churches across the country have been booking whole theaters for exclusive packing the theaters

you hope to send a message to hollywood saying give us more movies. >> i tweeted that today. let's send a message to hollywood, not every movie has to be a bible movie, but when they come out, let's support that for sure. >> religious movies once was a mainstay of hollywood a decade ago, "passion of the christ" was controversial because of the violence but brought in a lot at the box office. >> the relationship between hollywood and religion has always been very fragile. if you are making a big budget film you wanted to appeal to the masses when means you will stray from the original text which could anger people of faith, but if you only stick to the religious text you will not get

the numbers at the box office. >> "son of god" sticks closely to the bible, and it is produced by the man who produced "survivor." >> it's very 2014. in the past some of the biblical movies felt like donkeys and sandals. >> we have three teenagers ourselves at home and when we were leaving to begin filming, and they said please don't make the special effects lame. >> we definitely know the religious community is supporting "son of god" and what the true test will be if it can cross over and appeal to those that are not religious. >> no matter how well it does at the box office pastor rick warren does not expect hollywood

to embrace "son of god." > it will be a miracle of biblical proportions if it gets an academy award. >> those crowding into see "son of god" this weekend are hoping to make hollywood the lead. >> going to be very interesting how that film does. imagine if people like pastor rick warren saying you can go to the movies instead of to church wow. >> while "son of god" debuts in theaters, other films can big win gold on sunday.

years a slave". >> the way voters vote in the oscars they rank their films, don't they? >> they do. it's very unlikely a movie will get enough votes from the number one votes, and they are probably going to have to go to the number two and three. that's causing some people to think "gravity" will win because it's the kind of movie where it's not somebody's number one choice it's likely to be number two or three. and "12 years a slave," i think, will be able to pull out the victory. >> what about supporting actress? >> it's a two-way race the breakout star from the "12 years a slave," and jennifer lawrence for "american hustle," who has become the youngest person to get three acting oscar nominations. if she wins she will be the sixth person to win back to back

acting oscars. >> if you look at the best acting category amy adams is up, and she is the only one in the category that never won a oscar, right? >> yes, the other four have all one, and this is amy adam's first. people say she is gaining momentum on kate blanchett, but kate pwhrapbblanchett is out in front. >> does the woody allen controversy have an affect? >> i don't think they will penalize kate blanchett for that. >> and i don't see anybody else in that category who can beat him, i love the performance in

"dallas buyer's club." >> matthew mcconaughey is great in the film as well. he lost 50 pounds for that role. but there is also leonardo dicaprio who is pretty great, too. >> yeah, in l.a. where i live people are talking about leonardo and can he win, he has been nominated four times. i think it's matthew mcconaughey mcconaughey. he really went through so much. i had him on and he talked about how he was not able to enjoy life as much because he was not eating or going out with friends or anything. >> i thought he was excellent in "american hustle." that scene -- >> "the wolf of wall street." >> oh, yes, sorry. >> he is on a terrific hbo show "true detective." and i think that has helped his

campaign because people are seeing all this other great work. gravity's director is going to win i think. >> why? they are usually connected, aren't they? >> well, i think you could see a split was the oscar winners love the degree of difficulty and from a directing standpoint this movie is just next level film making and everybody agrees who saw that and he pulled off something fantastic. >> great to see you. >> great to see you, too. >> take care. ahead, the most memorable mow manyments of the week. monday we will take

in the kpix 5 weather center. rain turning more toward showers, but some of these are very heavy showers. san jose has clouds and showers. that will continue to be the day today. looking back toward san francisco from oakland. it's ominous. plenty of clouds. we have the possibility of some thunderstorms. a very strong storm system rolling in across the coastline. you can see the core low still spinning off the coast. that's slowly going to work its way down along the coastline over the next 24 hours. as it does, it will pump in plenty of moisture in our direction. that means it can be very stormy on and off throughout the day today. maybe it's tomorrow morning as well. we are seeing a lot of that rain showing up on our high definition doppler radar. look at the colors. yellow action, oranges, and reds. very strong storms moving on

by. two inches of rain to. and a half in the santa cruz mountains. that will be the focus of the storm. four-plus inches of rain throughout the day and into tomorrow. still, it looks like by the afternoon, the showers should begin to decrease just a little bit, but the gusty winds will continue. expecting some of those gusts especially in our thunderstorm. maybe 40. maybe 55 miles per hour. could still bring down some trees and also some powerlines. the temperatures will be fairly mild mainly in the 50s even though we have all the rain outside today. then as we look toward the weekend. maybe some leftover showers early on on saturday. on sunday, we dry things out. monday, tuesday, just a slight chance of showers to the north. we're going to check out your traffic when we come back.
