now we'll turn it over to marla tellez who's down in san jose.reporter: good morning, arturo, thank you so much. literally within the last couple of minutes the rain started to fall here in san jose. up until now we've been out here since 4:00 this morning, it has been dry. now the morning commute is getting a little bit of rain. you're looking at traffic on 280 near the 87 interchange. the headlights coming toward you, those are heading northbound. no major problems on the roadway just yet, just a little bit of stop and go so that's what you can expect on 280 here. now, as our meteorologist christina loren has been reporting throughout the morning, really the south bay is expected to get hit by the rain any minute now and she is dead on. the bulk of the storm is set to hit between 7:00 and 10:00 today, so get ready for that. get into that defensive driving mode. i will touch on what arturo just told you. allow yourself extra time to get to work today, extra space if you're on the road between you and the vehicle ahead of you. and if it gets real

. >> and i'm marla tellez in for laura garcia-cannon. a whole lot to get to today. let's check the forecast with christina loren. >> good morning to you, jon and marla. good morning to you at home. we've got a good-looking day shaping up. we are expecting the showers but not until you start to ride home from work over the course the evening into tonight. we've got the best bet for seeing that shower chance. this morning i want to point out how cold it is. we're at 46 in santa rosa, 48 in novato and temperatures will continue to tumble the next hour so grab that coat if you're heading out the front door. first let's check your drive. >> we're looking at fremont 880 and there's a light flow of traffic just north of tesla, the truck scales at the top of your screen. we do have an issue at mission boulevard off of 880, north or south getting onto mission you have typical overnight construction we've had for the last week. so auto mall parkway is your connector from 880 over to 680 a little north of here. farther south of milpitas, 880 starts to lose lanes. you're down t

good morning, i'm marla tellez. i'll have her very specific description coming up. >>> time now to get you to decision 2012. i'm sure president obama kind of felt like it was back to his college days pulling an all-nighter last night. meantime mitt romney has a nonstop list of appearances all day long, including ohio today. tracie potts is live on capitol hill. with just 12 days left until that election, the candidates no doubt going full throttle ahead on this one, right? >> reporter: absolutely, jon, especially in those battleground states. several of them could swing this election and that's why we're seeing them focus there. let's start with the president because we have new video of him landing in tampa, florida. it is one of the four states he plans to be today. one of those being illinois. he's going home to vote. he'll also campaign in virginia and ohio. all of that in one day. he made a stop by a doughnut shop after pulling that all-nighter on the plane. governor romney is focused today. he's got three camp

i'm marla tellez.ayette man. the drowning of brett olson over the labor day was an accident. the case was closed. the autopsy of the 20-year-old shows olson had a blood alcohol level of .23. that is almost three times the legal driving limit. he had cocaine in his system. his body was found a week later. >>> let's check the busy morning commute on this wednesday with mike. >> good morning. 92 and maybe worse than a half hour ago. no incidents on the san mateo bridge. it is crowded in the west commute. look at the traffic at north 880 past the coliseum. north from the valley. south 880 slams into fremont. clearing a little bit there and south 101 is slow at the airport. marla, back to you. >> thank you, mike. for the latest on traffic and news updates, go to facebook and search nbc bay area. we will see you in a half hour. i moved to new york to work in fashion. i came here with just a suitcase, maybe two. and luckily i found an apartment just three blocks away from t.j.maxx, which was perfect because i

. >> and i'm marla tellez in for jon kelley. today fans are hoping for a quick turnpike-arou-around to mr sunday's sluggish start. christie smith is live with tips on getting tickets if you're heading into the city. but we begin with comcast sportsnet bay area's john henry smith who is live at at&t park this morning where the giants were beaten by that bullpen. john henry, good morning. >> reporter: well, both bullpens were lights out last night, but certainly the st. louis cardinals bullpen really carried the day for the cardinals and led them to that 6-4 win. now if the giants don't win tonight in game two then they have to win two of three to stave off elimination. sounds bad, but the giants have been down this road before. they had to go into cincinnati last week and win three of three to stave off elimination. as we all know now, they got that done. so bottom line, don't think that the giants are particularly worried about dropping game one. >> best out of seven. we've shown how resilient we can be. you hate to lose them at

good morning, marla. >> good morning. political science professor dr.om santa clara university has been with us all morning long giving us some insight into last night's debate. thanks for being with us. laura just touched on it a little bit. the showdown in florida was less contentious than the previous debate. some critics even saying that it was plain out boring. what do you think of the overall feel? >> well, you didn't have the sense they were going to punch each other, that's for sure. they were very calm. i think in terms of foreign policy, you want to reassure voters that you have somebody who has steady leadership, who's calm and cool in a crisis. i think that's what both of the candidates were trying to do. you didn't see the interruptions that you saw in the other debate. it probably made bob schieffer's job a lot easier than perhaps with jim lehrer or candy crkro y crowley. it was a much more sedate tone. now that we've done foreign policy and had a calm, rational discussion, we'll move on to other issues. >> it was a foreign policy debate b
