8:50 am
today is moderate but there's one area, the north bay in particular where we have air quality just slightly above that local where we call it moderate and moving into the unhealthy for sensitive groups. if you have asthma, suffer from respiratory issues, be aware of it. high pressure in place, it will stay that way, that rain continuing to move up and over california. in fact it's all the way north of oregon, a few sprinkles to the north edge of washington. this is the system that may actually move in to california, that's what the forecast models are showing us. it's been pretty consistent and bring us maybe a slight chance at rain. southern california will get a better chance and i'll show you exactly what i mean. this is not really a typical for this this time of year but we'll take what we can. a look at the rain line, that is again remaining north of the area and slides up and over california. so no rain coming from the pacific northwest but by monday afternoon the clouds are on the increase over the bay area and there's -- that bit of rain come into southern california all the way from baja.

8:57 am
high school-like science lesson to explain how footballs may have unintentionally ended up underinflated. he said the patriots conducted an experiment and simulate what had a ball goes through on game day. he says a combination of the team rubbing down the footballs before the game and the weather conditions last sunday affected the air pressure of the balls. at no time was there any intent whatsoever to try to compromise the integrity of the game or to gain an advantage. >> with the super bowl now a week away belichick says he doesn't want to discuss the deflate-gate issue any further. however expected plenty of questions on tuesday when coaches and players talk to reporters on super bowl media day. the nfl is warning marshawn ladies and gentlemen -- lynch could be penalized for the illegal use of his hands. the nfl fined him more than

9:02 am
set back in 2011. take a look at what's happening now because in the short term this is the story. that fog pulled through the delta widespread. if i get in closer we will take a look at where it is plenty gray. from antioch into concord 0, pleasanton, livermore, really thick along 580 going towards tracy and the two '05. as you get into the north bay, once again socked in by the fog. for the afternoon if it sticks we'll have another cool day for our valley locations. 45 right now in concord, 42 in fair feed. very chilly start for you. 50 half moon bay. not as warm as yesterday but you have the sun shining on you. as we get into the second half the modses want to pull that fog out fairly early. we have that northeasterly bries, and that is going to warm some of our bay area
9:03 am
locations as well as the coast. that's where we will find the 70s. perhaps mid-60s in the forecast in the central valley. in the extended forecast, tracking a cool-down. we're going to talk about beach rescues and water regs skews. it did happen yesterday. two men had to be rescued after their boat capsized in san jose. it happened about 12:40 yesterday afternoon. according to the san jose news the two men were fishermen. the coast guard is going to be out patrolling area beaches. at ocean beach, check out those waves. they actually reached 10 to 12 feet thanks to pacific storm churning offshore. it did create some dangerous rip currents and sneaker waves.

9:05 am
lot of the state of missouri, northeast kansas, topeka kansas, phoenix and the southern part of arizona there. lighter green, $1.80. closer to the yellow is 1.94 to $2. obviously the reds, the new england states, the northeast, and then obviously where we live in california a lot of red. that means just about a bit more than $2.5 a gallon, in some cases less than $2.50. the u.s. average price for a gallon of regular now is $2.04. that's the lowest national average unnearly six years. and industry analysts forecast the national average will actually drop below $2 a gallon this weak as rising inventories push down the price. california gas prices are usually among the highest in the country because of the state's stricter standards for clean burning fuel. california's success at improving air quality is now hurting the state budget. cars and trucks are getting better gas mileage, and more
9:06 am
people are driving electric vehicles. but as drivers buy less gas, state gas tax revenues are dropping. electric car owners pay no gas taxes, and the state and federal government have not raised the tax in 20 years. that helps for pay -- that helps pay for road maintenance. now lawmakers are considering a fee that would charge each of you for each mile driven. a new report says the supplier of the steel rods that cracked on the bay bridge failed to reveal that the same thing actually happened in washington state. now, according to the chronicle, those rods are identical to ones that cracked on the bay bridge in 2013. the rods were all provided by dyson corp in ohio. experts say if cal traps had been notified about what happened in washington they could have avoided the same problem here. caltrans did spend $45 million testing and securing those cracked rods. eight people were hurt after four cars crashed in nap

9:47 am

9:48 am
buyer's discretion? >> it's highly advised. learn as much as you can from a professional and wear your life jacket and boat sober. >> all right. >> thanks allie. thanks for all your reports. it's been a fun day for her. >> really fun day. i'm hoping she guns it and she can pick us up, swing over to maybe sam's and go get lunch, then we could swing back, then they can take it back to mccovey cove. >> is i've got to tell you, it looked gorgeous in san francisco. she started off with her jacket and bundled up, but it looks like it's cleared up nicely. >> hopefully she will get a nice cruise out of that. if you are thinking about heading into san francisco, another gorgeous day for you as well. giving you a live look into san francisco. a little bit of haze out there. a little bit of patchy fog. the fog really seeping back into our valleys, coming from
9:49 am
the central valley, locked in over the east bay. take a look here. fairly widespread. moving through the delta. that offshore breeze actually blowing a little bit of fog into san francisco this morning but nothing compared to what we're seeing over areas like concord, stretching through san ramon and livermore and into the north bay. visibility down to a quarter mile in santa rosa. so be prepared for that. a wide view here actually shows you that fog. once again, all the way up and down the valley, all the way into southern california. a ridge of high pressure still in place for today, and that's going to continue to bring us the dry weather and the unseasonably warm weather for the coast and portions of the bay. if you are inland, low to mid in your forecast. i want to point you to this system here. this is a little bit atypical for this time of year. moving into california as we get into the next day or two, this is dog bring us more cloud cover. it is going to cool us down. it has the possibility of bringing us maybe a few sprinkles. as we get into your sunday
9:50 am
morning here, this ridge of high pressure keeping the rain to the north. not going to see any rain come from the pacific northwest. as we get into monday notice those clouds coming in from southern california. even a little bit of rain picked up in areas like l.a. and farther north we go. we've got a few sprinkles over the sierra. did you see what happened with us? not a lot. we've got a few sprinkles maybe coming our way. it looks like the time frame early tuesday morning. so maybe wake up with a little bit of drizzle. for today it's a cal start, 43 in walnut creek, upper 40s san francisco. half moon bay just happens to be the place to be at the moment. 63 with mostly sunny skies. already off to a beautiful start. around the bay area for today, again in our valleys, could be another cool one with widespread low 60s in areas like antioch as well as fairfield. closer to the central and south bay, we could see a few records. fremont 72, 79 for santa cruz.
9:51 am
80 degrees would tie the standing record in santa cruz today. temperatures cooling off as we get into the work week. the clouds move in. slight chance for showers tuesday. we want to talk about the nfl now because the nfl is issuing a warning specifically to seattle seahawks running back marshawn lynch. he's a bay area local. he could be penalized for illegal use of his hands. the league says the oakland native grabs parts of his body after scoring some important touchdowns, and they don't want him to do that any more. the nfl has already feigned him more than $31,000 for what it calls two obscene gestures in the past month, and referees have been instructed to low the flag against lynch and penalize the seahawks 15 yards. super bowl security is going to be tight but federal officials are not planning anything more despite the recent terror attacks in paris. surveillance cameras have been set up throughout the phoenix area, the university of phoenix
9:52 am
stadium, downtown phoenix, sky harbor airport. officers say they haven't picked up any chatter of a possible attack. they have created a high-tech command center. it took a year to plan and build that command center. i know, mike, you were down in the desert for a few days last week checking out all that super bowl prep. did you see a lot of signs of that security or is it behind the scenes? >> yeah, it's behind the scenes. there are hints of it here and there, but the problem that they have, the chai leng they have is that the game is in glendale, and there's the stadium right there. there's a number of events surrounding the stadium but also a ton of events in phoenix. so a wide area, an entire region to protect. and that's the big challenge there. one of the arguments, a story we will run later this week, a sit-down interview with the mayor of glendale, he is furious with the nfl, because his biggest cost is security, and he feels like he's not
9:53 am
going to get reimbursed, and because of that the city of glendale is not going to make any money. so we have that part of the story. officials from santa clara are going out to check out the operations and see just how it's up and running. they were also out there, of course, for the one in new jersey and new york last year, but, yeah, for the most part, security is the top issue, and fan experience making sure everyone has a good time. >> it will be interesting to see. >> a lot of cool things to see. >> time now is 9:5 3. we are going to go to break, but we'll be right back.

9:58 am
