Its all about change. Rain is coming, right . Yeah. We had that nice midseason dry spell but now looks like thats about to change as we have some storm clouds moving into the bay area now. Mostly cloudy skies. Not as cold this morning. No freezing temperatures to speak of. And yes, our highdef Doppler Radar is picking up raindrops most of that off the coastline so far although we have seen a few light showers in the north bay but i think throughout the day today this is going to push further east and make its way across the bay area bringing with it some scattered light showers. You can see on our satellite image all the moisture off the coastline and the low is off the coast. Well wait until that pushes offshore later on. In the meantime, temperatures not bad mostly cloudy skies, numbers now running in the 40s and 50s. By this afternoon, i think a few scattered showers outside fairly light rainfall but at least it opens up the door again 50s and 60s maybe some more rain on the way too. Well talk about that in a moment. Lets check the roads with elizabeth. Going live towards this gorgeous shot of the bay bridge new l. E. D. Lights. Traffic is okay from oakland into San Francisco. You are crossing the upper deck. They had some overnight roadwork on the incline section. Looks like it should have wrapped up in the last few minutes by 5 00 so youre good to go and no metering lights this morning as you approach the pay gates. Elsewhere more overnight roadwork some wrapped up the westbound lanes are now reopened across the dumbarton bridge. Eastbound 84 should still be there until about 6 00 this morning. I saw one of the lane change trucks cross the Golden Gate Bridge a little while ago so things are moving nicely so far into San Francisco from marin county. Thank you. 5 09.

According to the chronicle investigators say there were two other women present at the time in question and those witnesses say crabtree did not assault anyone. Lots of excitement is building for super bowl xlvii. Thats right. But its not just a big day for the 9ers and the ravens. Cocacola, budweiser and m and ms are hoping to score big, too. Cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran joins with us more on how those super bowl ads are going beyond the game to get our attention. Reporter it always works, doesnt it . I know some people actually record these commercials but this year, they wont have to and thats because some of them are already out. Cocacola gave viewers a preview of its ad on the website. Reporter its asking you to decide how the commercial ends on game day. And mercedesbenz released its ads yesterday trying to build buzz on its Facebook Page. The ad has dozens of comments on the suggestive commercial and thats what its about this year. Experts say its about a social media extravaganza. Companies are hyping up its product before it hits super bowl air time. Experts say the strategy can score some big points. Buzz before the game and buzz after the game means that that spot of yours wont just be seen during the game. So it turns into having a life of its own and because youre on the super bowl you have a chance to be talked about in a way you dont if you are advertising somewhere else. Reporter not to mention companies are able to generate more viewers without those super bowl costs. Ads featured on the companys website of course are free. But you know what . The air time for the super bowl ads arent so much. This year they went for 4 million just for a 30second spot. Reporting live in San Francisco, cate caugiran, cbs 5. Thats not so much. That boggles my mind because years ago 2. 5 million, oh, it cant go up any more. Now 4 million. Amazing. Time now is 5 11. Real 49ers fans are not thinking about those commercials though. They are bleeding a little red and gold or at the very least getting song red and gold ink. And an upset down under an olympic gold champion upset with her performance on the court. And we have more 49ers fan photos. Students at the ibl middle school in pacifica are seeing red. They sent us this shot inside their gym. Thank you for that.

No incidents to report on either direction of the span and in fact, all our accidents were following a couple of different fenderbenders nothing in lanes now so everything is quiet except your overnight roadwork. Lets take a look at other cameras across the bay area 880 the nimitz 66. There was some overnight roadwork in lanes. It should be picked up. Between fruitvale and the oakland coliseum. Elsewhere, westbound 580, a few headlights now picking up steam a little bit towards the dublin interchange. The dublinpleasanton ride is about 15 minutes right now from the Altamont Pass out to pleasanton. That is a check of traffic. For your forecast, heres lawrence. All right. Finally seeing some changes in the weather after a long period of dry weather. Looks like some rain could be making a return. Our cbs 5 highdef Doppler Radar is tracking some showers outside now. Most of that is off the coast although we are beginning to see moisture at the coast near point reyes. Showers trying to move onshore. A lot of it might not quite hit the ground. The atmosphere is very dry. Throughout the day today well see the atmosphere moisten up a bit and i think a better chance of rain around the bay area not going to be a big storm but a chance of rain outside and some mild temperatures right now. No freezing numbers, 43 in concord. 50 and cloudy in San Francisco. And 45 degrees in santa rose. The whole pattern changing. That bill dominant ridge of High Pressure sliding eastward. That means we have the cold front moving in and the jet stream sagging to the south. And that means were opening up that storm door outside. Showers around much of the state today. If you plan on traveling, be prepared for rain and computer models picking up on the showers. In fact, moving i think the better part of the rain if you can call that in toward the afternoon, none of it will be real heavy and i think the heaviest amounts maybe a tenth or quarter inch in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Not a huge storm but the most we have seen in quite some time. It will clear out the atmosphere. Temperatures only in the 50s and 60s and the next couple of days, it looks like we dry things outcome thursday and friday. And then over the weekend, some cold air moves in and a chance of a few more showers. Good stuff, getting excited i love this nice to see the rain back again. Get those umbrella out. Thank you. It is 5 18 now. A guy in vallejo made his love for the 9ers permanent this week. Check it out. Did he it with a 49ers tattoo. Why not .

Well, i guess its such a big story but do you really care . I know. I guess well find out. Was it live or was it tape . Were talking about beyonces performance at the National Anthem during the inauguration. So far no word from the superstar but as cbs reporter Susan Mcginnis shows us, beyonce wouldnt be the first to fake it. Reporter beyonce took the stage at president obamas inauguration this week and delivered what many called a memorable performance. I thought she did an excellent job, sang really well, passionate and i thought it was moving. Moving to watch. Reporter but there are reports her singing wasnt what everyone thought. [ music ] reporter the controversy erupted on tuesday when a spokeswoman for the marine corps band said the singer used a prerecorded voice track instead of singing live. The marines later backed off that statement saying no one in the marine band is in a position to assess whether it was live or prerecorded. Sources tell cbs news beyonce did sing and her mic was hot. But that she was matching her voice to a prerecorded track. Its not uncommon to prerecord inaugural music in case theres bad weather or other unexpected circumstances but temperatures were mild on Inauguration Day and the skies were clear. [ music ] reporter it was a much colder day four years ago when cellist yoyo ma and violinist yitzhak perleman used a recording and another person lip synced the National Anthem in the 1996 super bowl. No doubt fans will be listening and watching closely when she performs at halftime at the super bowl this year. Susan mcginnis, cbs news, washington. I wonder what theyre going to ask her at the super bowl now. The thing, she has already proven she is a great live singer so its not that shes bad live. It was her song.

M. On oakland street near octavia. Firefighters say the trees caught fire spread along an outside wall of the building. A number of firefighters on hand. The fire was put out though within an hour and nobody was hurt. Also new this morning oakland is hiring a controversial crime fighter to help its troubled police department. Bill bratton will become its consultant. Cbs 5 reporter anne makovec is in the newsroom with the vote that came less than four hours ago. Anne. Reporter it was all made official at about 2 a. M. The City Council Approved that contract with bill bratton by a vote of 71, including a provision, though, that no racial profiling will be permitted. But some people in the audience didnt believe it. What hes doing elsewhere, it may have worked, doesnt mean its going to work here. If thats the case, then go next door to richmond reporter activists from groups including occupy oakland oppose bill bratton. He has been nicknamed the super cop. Protestors believe he supports overaggressive policing measures including one commonly called stop frisk in which people can be stopped and searched if an officer deems them sufficient. We know what stop frisk its racial profiling and any young person who fits the profile is going to be subject to being harassed. Our city is very polarized on this issue. It cant stay black and white like that. Not every Police Officer is an angel but not every Police Officer is corrupt, either. Reporter so in the end the Council Approved spending 250,000 to hire bratton. He is the former Police Officer of new york and l. A. Police chief of new york and l. A. And is going to advise opd. Oaklands police chief says there is no discussion of using stop frisk and that he does not support that policy. The City Council Also approved three other policing strategies including hiring Alameda County sheriffs deputies to patrol oakland city streets and a new Police Academy class to train more officers. Live in the newsroom, anne makovec, cbs 5. Five men are in custody after mondays shooting of an oakland Police Officer. The undercover cop was on a stakeout in east oakland when a group of men approached his car and shot him in the arm. Officers seized several guns during the manhunt for the suspects. Two of them are known gang members. Police are expected to release more information today on an Armed Robbery in downtown palo alto. It happened on ramona street shortly before 9 00 last night. Right now details are scarce but police havent said anything about the suspect, victim, what was known or the weapon used. They are asking anyone with information to contact them immediately. A south Bay Community is turning to surgery now to solve a deer dilemma they have. The bucks and the fawns are taken over the gated community known as the villages in san jose. The deer population has been doubling every year. There are now about 170 of them in the villages. Big problem. A yearround greenery at the golfs course is a feasting ground for the deer. Management says the deer have caused car crashes, injured dogs and done about 150,000 of damage to landscaping every year. So starting this weekend workers will tranquilize the does and spay them. I think its creative and worth a try but unless that sense of integrity is really kept in check and patroled, i think that this will help but i dont think its a real long term solution. Some of the deer might be relocated. Oakland is moving forward with new plans for a dog park at lake merritt. The city is proposing a half acre of snow park at 19th and harrison streets for the park. Originally the park was planned for the corner of lakeshore and macarthur. Neighbors werent happy with that. A public hearing for the new location is set up for monday.

Nothing real heavy but really this will be the first significant rainfall we have seen in quite some time and looks like the showers will continue possibly into tonight maybe early tomorrow morning and then things settling down. Outside temperatures are very mild and thats because of the cloud cover. 40s and 50s across the board now. By the afternoon a chance of more widespread scattered showers highs only in the 50s and 60s. Well have more on your weather coming up. Lets check the roads with elizabeth. Going out live towards the peninsula 101 near palo alto near the university exit. And as you can see, both directions of 101 are flowing nicely this morning and no overnight roadwork near there to slow you down. Elsewhere the bay bridge they have been testing some of those new l. E. D. Lights across the span but it is not causing any impact at all on the morning drive. No metering lights approaching the pay gates so everything looks great so far heading into San Francisco.

At about 4 million per 30 seconds ads, the strategy is to push social media to build buzz about the product before kickoff. Companies say they are trying to have a conversation with consumers and give them incentives to take a sneak peek. Its not brandnew but i think theres more contests a little bit. Some of them are offering prizes to win if you see the ads when you watch the game. Reporter experts say this pays off and seeing the commercial before the game can score big points. Not to mention the Companies Using this strategy also get a little extra ad time without having to pay that super bowl price. Reporting live in San Francisco, cate caugiran, cbs 5. 5 40.

Now we have some major changes coming in our direction. Theres a chance of a few showers outside for today. Nothing too heavy but this will be the most that we have seen in quite some time. Out the door with our cbs 5 highdef Doppler Radar, some of that moisture off the coastline we are beginning to see more tracking in closer to the coast. In fact, some of that moving onshore in parts of the north bay. We are not going to see a lot of rain out of the storm system. More importantly it will open up the storm door to allow storm systems to come into the bay area. Cloudy, mild temperatures, 40s and 50s right now. I think throughout the day today i think a better chance of showers into the afternoon. Waiting for the core of this low to begin to press a little bit closer to the coastline but you can see that ridge of High Pressure thats been bringing in the dry weather, thats moved eastward now so the jet stream starting to drop into the bay area. So things changing. We costs some delays at sfo today. Some cloudy skies and some possible showers there. Across the country we mentioned some of those cold temperatures and snow in new york. Only 20 degrees there. 23 and breezy and very chilly into chicago. 68 and warm in denver and 72 degrees in houston. Our computer models picking up on the storm system.
