those platforms and things used offshore are brought into galveston today to be repaired, cleaned, anden back out. there is not a lot of immediate drilling around galveston island. it is mostly a working port to support the industry offshore. immigration into galveston is one of the overlooked stories of texas history and american history is that without this port and its availability for 150 years, we would not have had settlement in the united states and certainly in texas. early, i'm talking about pre-civil war 1830's, 1840's, you have lots of groups of europeans, mainly germans coming , into the port of galveston and as a group settling a different parts of the state of texas. if you had been here in the 1850's, german was the most common language spoken in galveston. on the streets, that is what people were talking in. you can see in galveston today if you go to the garden, you can see what became the center for german entertainment and social life. you can go to st. joseph's church, the first german catholic church in texas. you can see where they worshiped and where they were ed

us scattered showers it is gone is prettier skies today means a brighter temperature and we will get the subject of warmth great hawaii on thursday and friday and that will be tomorrow and friday. an offshore breeze means we could hit the upper 60 to low 70s at the cost on thursday and that is the warmest day and the rest of us in the low-to-mid 80's dropping our temperatures but inland the breeze will reach inland by saturday when everyone is in the 60s and 70s with a few more 80's inland next week. have a good day. >> we have 30 bart trains on time and ace train one is a minute late and in delays on transit. the san mateo bridge with traffic moving along just fine and we have the coaches lining the shoulders there both in the eastbound and when direction with mostly seeing them in the westbound direction not causing a lane blockage or slow downs. now, heading into oakland we have a crash that is cleared at highway thin, and to the south we have construction property wrapping up at 5:00, southbound 880 from davis to marina. >> coming up, teens may thing they are safe but think again. parents need to look out now more than ever. stay tuned. our family was drifting apart... ...until we foun

be offshore. the extended outlook, wednesday, thursday. that will take uso the weekend where it lox sunny, mostly sunny to cloudy. cooler, possibility of scattered showers. a lot of it seems to be east and south. high temperatures today, all pretty close. low 60s to mid-60s. it doesn't matter if it's clearlake, brentwood, walnut creek, 6, 64 even down to the santa clara valley. 50s, 60s on the coast. 60s on the peninsula and after tomorrow, it looks like the low goes south. mostly sunny on wednesday and sunshine and warmer temperatures end of the week into the weekend. >> palm springs had .50. san diego, .23. >> it's going somewhere. >> to somebody in california. >> thank you. >>> 8:22. there is a federal report that's slamming the police department in ferguson, missouri. coming up in 23 minutes, accusations made by the justice department about the way the police treat african-americans and also how that treatment is used to balance the city's budget. >>> but first, a dramatic midair rescue caught on video. after the break, what turned a routine jump into a

be a heat wave out east. for us, high pressure that's offshore will sort of nudge to the south a bit.ue with that stream of high clouds over northern california. high isn't going anywhere. as a result, we are going to see warm weather through the weekend even as we continue to stream some high clouds over the bay area. that will lead to a chance of not much by sunday afternoon maybe a light sprinkle or two in the north bay. and after that, the high rebuilds, temperatures warm up. so to sum it up, we still have fog and low clouds along the shoreline. high clouds up top. and that's going to be true all the way through the weekend. the clouds thicken on sunday. but again if we squeeze any rain out of it, it won't do much besides just wet the dust a little bit. that's on sunday. after that things warm up. in fact, look at tomorrow. san francisco's 5 degrees above average for friday. concord is about 9 degrees above average. today santa rosa was 12 degrees warmer than it was yesterday. san jose will be in the mid-70s tomorrow. and oakland in the low 70s but even that is nine degrees warmer

tuesday will be slightly warmer under mostly cloudy skies as an offshore gradient develops. a robust ridge of high pressure will bring usory by thursday and friday. taking a look at our storm trackers for satellite and composite. you can see the leading edge of rain moving in. meanwhile offshore a few light showers are starting to. to. thanks to the cloud cover coming from the northeast. the storm system will stay mostly to the northeast. and that's why we're only looking at mostly showers in the north the overnight and the first part of tomorrow. as early as about 1:00 a.m. you can see it most of the moisture. a sprinkle making its way into our morning commute. it will peel away to the east around 2 to 3:00 p.m.. again most, the dry conditions south of the golden gate. it will bring us some warmer afternoons. by tomorrow afternoon temperatures will be in them the '60s. lower '70's for instance pops. the heat will continue to build with a record peak.. as we head into the weekend we're still looking warm and dry. >> we know it's coming withthe u-s premiere of the fifth >> pam : season of "game of thrones". wrapped up in

the system still is offshore and this is what will be coming towards us once the high begins to fadee to the east. but between now and then we are looking at warm days cool nights. and once the system moves through, once again, back to much above average temperatures. so here's a look at what you can expect. rain coming in late tuesday into wednesday. the focus should be south of the bay area. maybe a few light raindrops for you and then back to high pressure with above average temperatures right after in terms of this week. still look at bookends between the warmer temperature at each end of the front. so it is expected to move in midweek. look how it drops the indianapolis san jose. going for mid-70s down to the mid-60s just for the day and back up. should be about 66 or 67 this time of year for the average. highs around the bay today, very subtle changes from the coast mid-60s san francisco. 61 half moon bay and 63 point reyes, 69 santa cruz. look at the the 70's. so the accuweather seven-day forecast hopefully you changed your clock and you will notice the changes tomorrow subtle

be turning much warmer and much sunnier. we've had some clouds around throughout the past several days. and today really no different. there's the front. it's going to sit offshore. it will bring uswill thin out from time to time. so today be slightly sunnier and milder day with a few drops possible. then this is the next slightly stronger system that could bring us a few light showers. the focus up in the north bay. sonoma county, petaluma, perhaps marin a couple hundredths and berkeley. overall it looks pretty dry for most of you in the south bay over the weekend. we will look for this afternoon to be partly cloudy. monday maybe showers toward the north. here we are monday, 5:00. could see some spotty showers on the peninsula and throughout the day we will call it partly cloudy. overall between now and monday we are looking at maybe a tenth to .2 up in the north bay. less than a tenth throughout monday the rest of the by area. highs today with the cloud cover. upper 50s in the northern sierra. 80 fresno and 70 san diego. it will be dry in the south bay. warmer numbers. le 70s santa clara, 74 los gatos. you see the clouds here 71 menlo park, 56 and mostly cloudy day in san franc

us we're in between. we have high pressure offshore so the warmest day will be today.high that's been kind of off the southland moves in over the state today and that's going to increase the pressure and the temperature. today should be the warmest day. tomorrow this low pressure comes down so friday will be a little cloudier but no rain in the offing for the bay area maybe just a little bit of a chance late friday night in the north bay. forecast highs above average in the south bay. mid-70s will do it. 79 for los gatos. for your thursday, 76 for morgan hill. 70 hayward. 72 degrees in union city. in the east bay the numbers will be in the mid- to upper 70s for the most part. 77 in fairfield. livermore is up to 79. pleasanton 76. pleasant hill 79 degrees. north bay today a lot of sunshine and 72 in petaluma. and 74 degrees in san rafael. santa rosa 78 degrees. over in bodega bay 65 in the far north bay the numbers near 80 degrees today at clearlake 81 for lakeport and 80 at ukiah. extended forecast we are going to be looking for things to be nice today. increasing clou

so it's over for us and we will be looking at a system upstream that really is going to stay closer offshorese the chance of precip we will see around here tomorrow. 35 gilroy. chilly, 50 at the coast. looking at 50 in the city. 45 in san carlos. from our facebook emeryville camera waking up to cool conditions, partly cloudy skies. 3 miles visibility in santa rosa. and year 40 livermore. low 40s by the delta. 47 in concord. so it's still cooler than it was yesterday at this time. feeling a little bit still like winter with 5 degrees cooler than yesterday in san carlos and all around the bay actually feeling the chill. from our sutro tower camera we will look for plenty of sunshine today, all across the bay. numbers in a seasonable range from upper 50s to near 60 by the coast. a shower chance will head our way tomorrow. you will see where in a moment and we will look for a dryer, warmer pattern as we head through the first full week of march. so our radar and satellite come 'ty shows the area of low pressure. you see it there in southern california. the next system is going to ride off the co

valley and deem south rich with moisture being tapped by the gulf of mexico this moving toward the northeast. storm system is expected to move offshore to the south of us. we will not bear the brunt of the storm. still 42 in philadelphia. 36 in millville with clear skies. allen up to at 32. the poconos at 27. there's warmth to the south even where we're seeing the rain. temperatures in the 50s overnight. so everyone pretty much above freezing. as the storm approaches, high temperatures in the 40s and some 50s. the storm exits right off the delmarva pep nine sewell la and we see clearing skies on wednesday. temperatures in the 50s some areas topping 60 in philadelphia i think we'll make it to 60 degrees. that would be the first time since last year on christmas that we made it to 60 or greater. for your thursday, high pressure builds in. more sunshine with cooler temperatures but still in the 50s which is above average. future weather shows some sun and clouds for tomorrow morning. the clouds thicken and rain moves in like a wall bite afternoon that falls heavy at times when you see the darker returns of green for tuesday afternoon, for the afternoon an

caroline: talk to us about some of the other policies that we have already seen coming in from chancellor george osborne. we are based offshore, but we want to bering the tax home to the u.k. is that going to affect the attractiveness of basing yourself in guernsey for doing business in the u.k.? >> it is hard to tell how that will play out. the profits that should be generated in the u.k. going away from the u.k.. in many cases, a lot of businesses have diverted profits away from the u.k.. it is not a good impact from our perspective. it's not google and apple did not run their operations out of guernsey. it is not about taking profits away from the u.k. they expect the impact just because of the nature of the business we do here. caroline: it sounds like you are saying that the guernsey channel islands are not tax havens. does it matter whether we get a labour government or conservative led government in terms of costs? >> i do not think it does. in many ways whatever the color is after the seventh of may, there will be problems other than dealing with these perceived issues. you look at guernsey, we are a significant contributor of funds int

the coast will be nice, getting the offshore breeze. 18 in truckee, 68 in palm springs, recovering very fast. clear skies for us mountains, 18 truckee, 46 already at blue canyon. temperatures will be very warm. a lot of energy, a lot of cloud cover is going south to north, simply might make a break towards us by the middle of next week but, to be honest, i'm not sold on it. a lot has to happen and that's -- we've had so many head fakes. enjoy the sunshine and warmer temps. we have a cold morning. it will be warmer in the afternoon. morning temperatures giving away to a lot of 70s. could be record-setting for san jose. the record is 78, they're going 76. santa rosa 75, antioch 75, livermore 73, and temperatures will continue to be warm all the way into the weekend. a little cooler, mostly sunny into early next week. >>> steve, perfect day to do do some exercise, right -- to do some exercise, right? see this? she's working hard. this might look like a regular person on a treadmill but instead of being at the gym or at home, she's actually at work. >> this gives you a chance to walk, get your blood flowing, still
