five and 10 miles per hour. that wind yesterday whether it did blow it was so incredibly cold, so it's nice to see that light winds will be in the forecast. look to see what you can have through the 9:00 hour if you are going to be out, maybe for a jog, a cup of coffee, it's going to be chilly, sitting in the 30s, low 40s through the 9:00 hour, by about noontime we begin to see improvements, we will be in the 40s, 48 degrees being the warmer areas and then in through the afternoon low, mid, upper 50s expected by the second half of the day. by tonight, we do expect clouds to return to the area, especially for the north bay, scattered light showers in the forecast for tomorrow morning, stopping it here. this could be a little bit robust, but take a look at san francisco, even san jose with cloudy conditions and the possibility of maybe a few light showers. it hikes back north and it looks like north of the golden gate, north of i-80 we will see the chance for scattered showers monday, less chance on tuesday, but then we all expect to get wet on wednesday.

these storms are going to be warmer, our snow levels are going to rice anywhere from 45 -- rise anywhere from 4500 to 6000 feet and our temperatures warmer as well. cloudy, soggy, and cool but nothing like what we have seen over the last couple of days. we will be sitting in the 30s as we start tomorrow morning and then in the low 40s as we get into the workweek, our afternoon highs in the upper 50s. back to you. the recent cold weather brought snow to parts of monterey, county. take a look. this was shot in salinas yesterday afternoon. snow fell onto highway 101 creating slippery conditions and as we showed you yesterday morning, snow is also reported earlier and santa cruz county near highway 17. some people braced the cold for a good cause. >> three, two, one. >> there they go, straight into the water for the annual polar plunge at san francisco's aquatic park. the dip raises money for the special olympics of northern california and 600 people, you

can see a lot of them in costume there jumped into that frigid water, included in that crazy group we are looking at was mark tamayo and pete lupeti. that water is a chilly 51 degrees. newly released surveillance video shows dramatic scenes from an escalator malfunction last year in washington, d.c. at first footage from the plaza metro station shows people usual but then you see people start to tumble down the speeding machine. many landing on top of each other and several people were hurt. a washington transit authority says the brakes on the escalator failed. it happened last october during the rally to restore sanity event at the national mall. a shooting at an illinois gun show is under investigation this morning. authorities say a man picked up a gun at a vendor's booth yesterday to take a closer look and it went off, firing one bullet in the air.

the bullet bounced off a pole and hit two men, one in the chest. >> other areas have posted this -- hosted this show probably for the last 25 or 30 years and i've been on 30 years myself and this is the first situation that i can recall where we've had such an incident. >> authorities say vendors are not allowed to have loaded weapons at gun shows. 7:56. congress gets back to work tomorrow and the clock is ticking. if there is no budget deal by this fred -- friday, we could be looking at a government shutdown. there are extensions being talked about. house republicans have proposed 4 billion in cuts to keep the government functioning. democrats want an extension at current spending levels. we want to go to congresswoman barbara lee who is on the phone with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> let's talk about this extension. republicans unveiled it friday. is this the solution? >> we are going in i believe the right direction but they want to cut additional money. i think another $4 billion,

which really could strip some of our pressing educational challenges, and also some of the very basic types of services that people need. these proposals, you know, should be moved in the direction where we are talking about creating jobs rather than cutting types of programs that will help layoff people and that will lose jobs. >> it's only an extension, only two weeks. how likely are you guys to find any kind of compromise here? >> well, i know that our leadership is working, we want to compromise and we want to make sure one that we don't shut down the government because, you know, the most vulnerable people are going to be hurt, seniors are going to be hurt, people will be furloughed, services will be cut, and so that's got to be the goal, but at the same time, you can't allow even a two-week extension to create the same effect only in a much smaller way and so i hope that they come up with a plan that makes sense for two weeks and then we've got to work it out for

the rest of the year. >> congresswoman, i don't want to cut you off, i know we don't have a lot of time and i know you wanted to talk about afghanistan, you know, dnc had its annual winter meeting. tell me about the resolution. >> sure. as a member of the dnc, my job really is to try to reflect the sentiment of the public as well as the democratic party and so we passed my resolution calling for swift withdrawal of u.s. combat forces out of afghanistan. it was passed at the dnc meeting this weekend unanimously and also the resolution said we -- it's finally time to end this policy of an open-ended war in afghanistan and put the resources as it relates to prioritizing job creation in our own country. >> all right. >> that reflects the majority of the american people sentiment when you look at the gallop poll it shows 72% of americans favor us getting out of afghanistan and so the party is now on record where the majority of the american people. >> representative barbara lee,

thanks for joining us from washington, d.c., we are out of time bewe do appreciate your thoughts. we know you have a busy workweek ahead of you. >> thank you very much. stay with us. second hour of mornings on two is straight ahead. 0!ockñ?çóxo?ñ=çñññçvxqx?ñññ?óioy
