nice in the sun, but that wind has really been kicking up its heels here. just looking, peninsula, the redwood city to palo alto to la honda. same towards marin county. gusts up to 30 there. everybody in line, the system digging down from the north has decided to crank up the wind. 20 to 40 miles per hour. higher gusts on the coast, also at some of the higher elevations. 44 santa rosa. there are upper 30s close to santa rosa. but a lot of 40s and 50s, due to the wind. still in the looking for any rain i think until early next week. but the pattern is changing in the form of cooler weather. 20degrees above average on sunday. that just can't last. we're settling back down to average. still slightly above today. but i think by tomorrow, we'll

cool down a little bit. there are signs of a brief warm up on thursday. the wind turns a little offshore for a day. then we start to cloud things up as we head into the weekend. thank you steve. a horrifying hit-and-run in san jose, just within the past hour. spoke to the girl's devastated mother, and got new information from police. also, the man accused of stalking facebook's founder is telling his side of the story. what he says he was really trying to do when he looked for mark zuckerberg at his home and office.

or 5:00 this morning. it blew my front door open. it blew a whole pile of leaves down the hallway. >> reporter: the chp officers found a huge tree branch at the thornton onramp this morning. gusty winds forced a wind veesry for the san mateo hayward bridge. this electronic sign warned drivers about the advisory after midnight. a second wind advisory was issued for the alameda county, dublin area after 1:00. both advisories are still in place now. the wind left a mark also in areas without advisories. in montclair, the signs in front of several stores blown over. one man said his dog polly noticed the winds before he did. >> she woke me up, because the

winds were blowing, and trees were rustling, and branches were falling. you have to be careful when you drive. there are a lot of trees hanging over on skyline boulevard. so it can be treacherous sometimes. >> reporter: that's what the wind in the oakland hills sounded like several hours ago. several different cities received false alarm calls due to the screeching wind. reporting live, jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. the man accused of stalking mark zuckerberg is set to be in santa clara county court. he allegedly sent facebook messages to zuckerberg, including one that said quote, please help me, i'm ready to die for you. this morning, he tells tmz.com

far that they've been able to look at that shows them a clearer picture of the vehicle, or the driver. at this point, police say what they really need is someone to come forward with more information. the vehicle had a struck luna is described as a silver dodge caravan, or a gray sport utility vehicle, suv type vehicle. anyone calling in can remain anonymous. we have the numbers to call san jose police as well as crimestoppers, we'll have that posted on our website a short time from now. thank you. time now, 8:06. a tort this morning could eventually lead to the return of the death penalty. the man who halted executions five years ago, will tour san quentin's newly remodeled death chamber. the state updated the death chamber after the judge ruled

it was hopelessly outdated. more than seven are currently on death row. >> only 2% of murder suspects even rise to the level of a death penalty case. and those individuals who are sentenced to death are truly among the worst people in our society. >> not everyone wants to see their executions come back at san quentin. a small group of demonstrators right there, gathered outside. they argue that the death penalty is both inhumane, and expensive. 8:07. in egypt today, observers say they're seeing some of the biggest crowds of protests yet in cairo's main square. this is new video of the protesters today. we're also hearing that for the first time, some of the demonstrators broke off, and marched to the egyptian

parliament building to protest there. egypt's embattled president is taking the first concrete steps today to implement some reforms. the protesters are not happy. they're still calling for a million people to turn out today to continue to press their demand that president mubarak resign immediately. protesters are also saying they are energized by the release of a google executive. many are calling on him to be their leader. he says he was blind folded during the 12 days he was detained, but not mistreated. he says he is not a hero, just someone using a keyboard. and that the real heros are those in the square. he is the administrator of a facebook page used to organize the protests in egypt. people in the square say they're hoping to see him there. here is a photo of the crowd in the square today that was sent on twitter just about five minutes ago. the number of people are larger than we've seen, they seem to be covering every square inch

of the square. many people who have never turned out before seem to be inspired to come out today. it's kind of interesting, the shape there. it looked like there was a circle, and some cloth that was covering, perhaps for protection. but the crowd getting bigger and bigger. >> like you said, they're trying to keep that momentum. sal is back, and he's going to get you to where you need to go. >> good morning once again. the traffic is going to be improving from that first hour that we had from the commute here. but southbound 101 in marin county, you have slow traffic beginning near the marinwood area. just before that, it breaks free for the drive down to 580. this is the slow spot here near the civic center. let's move along, and take a look at westbound bay bridge. still waiting at the metering lights. as we look at the commute coming into san francisco there

are no major problems. this morning's drive here on the peninsula, we have an accident southbound 101 at third. if you think 280 is a better bet, not this morning. there's a crash there as well. both ways getting down the peninsula are not doing all that well. 280 and the 101 very slow getting into the valley. sunshine. but if you're just watching tv and haven't been outside yet, it's noticeably cooler. it looks like things are coming down slightly. but still 25 to 35 mile-an-hour gusts. no rain in sight yet. i think the process is starting to cool the temperatures down, after such a warm weekend. when temperatures are 20 degrees above average, things

have to change. they are slowly. it will be in the form of cooler weather, and windy weather in the next few days. by the weekend, we are look for an increase in clouds. valentine's day, i think we're all right restaurants, it's early next week when the pattern is showing signs of bringing rain in here. today, it's the wind. the possibility of gusts up to 50 miles per hour. it's coming right down out of the north. we've ushered in an extremely cold air mass here. dry trend continues this week. there is a hint, a possibility of rain on sunday. but as that gets closer and closer, it will lean towards monday and tuesday. i've been leaning on the 15th. looking pretty good. until then, it will be sunny, to mostly sunny, and windy at times. fairfield north at 25. vacaville north at 22. napa north at 21. those are sustained winds. not the gusts. not as bad towards san jose.

reports of 10, 15. santa cruz mountains. la honda about 30 miles an hour. a pretty good one up in marin county. 20 to 25. gusts over 30 for some. 40s and 50s, with the wind holding things up. a system right there, up and over the ridge, it will continue to erode the high over the next couple of days. kind of bump it out of here. the whole pattern looks to be changing. sunny. tomorrow, it will not be as windy. but probably still a little on the breezy side. those overnight temperatures are going to plunge. windy and cold this morning. much more than we've had the past couple of days. sunny, breezy. 48 to 58. upper 50s, low to mid-60s now. clear lake 59. napa 64. sonoma as well. probably out to discovery bay,

court that faulty electronics were not to blame for the sudden acceleration. millions of vehicles were recalled after deadly crashes and terrifying stories from drivers. we covered the testimony of rhonda smith who said she called her husband to say goodbye when her car sped out of control. >> i'm sorry. i knew he could not help me, but i wanted to hear his voice one more time. >> reporter: smith survived. toyota has since installed a brake override system, but still faces dozens of lawsuits, and today's report could have big impact on those cases. reporting live from washington, d.c., alison burns, ktvu channel 2 news. toyota says third quarter profits fell 39% compared to the same time period last year. toyota however raised its full net profit forecast for the
