Side. 30s and 40s anywhere you slice it in the east bay. Look at the 30s here, there is a bunch to go around, alamo, antioch and brentwood, 38 and 39 for those observations. A weak system. This is the last one in the series. After that goes through, we look at the sunshine, and warmer temperatures in the weekend. Increasing clouds. Cool to cold in the morning. Afternoon rain, very light. Mainly to the north. Low 50s there. And mid to upper 50s Santa Clara Valley. Sal, 6 01. What do you have . We have more slow traffic, steve, out there, and i have my mike fell off my lapel here. I will click it back on and you can hear me better. Now it is 6 01, mr. Sal. Thank you, i appreciate the reset. Here we go. Thank you very much. And lets do a look at the commute here, and the traffic is going to be busy if you are driving here at the bay bridge. It looks like it is backed up for at least a 25 minute delay. Unless youre in the car pool lane. Lets goat to go to the san mateo bridge. And the traffic is moderately heavy. Looking pretty good in the east bay. Somewhat surprisingly light on 680. From benecia bridge and you might want to get while the getting is good if that is your commute. Through hercules, not that bad. Right now, at least in the east bay, we seem to have fewer drivers, and i think what is behind that, is a lot of people, they are using ferries and bart, into San Francisco and not just taking the car, and even though there is a crowd at the bay bridge, the volume is just not the same. And driving in the citys financial district and south of market, as you know, has been impacted by super bowl closures. And 6 02. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. And denver bron hes practice squad player raised in oakland will not be around for the team for the super bowl. He was questioned by police, as part of an undercover prostitution sting, in the south bay, and ktvu reporter janine dela vega joins us from levi stadium with more on the story. Reporter pam, the player that we are talking about is rookie safety ryan murphy. He is on the Denver Broncos practice squad. Now, Team Management doesnt want any distractions. So murphy has lost his chance to be here. Here in santa clara, at levi stadium. On super bowl day. Now, here is what we know. The Santa Clara County Sheriffs Office detained murphy, at around 5 00 p. M. Yesterday at the motel six near the san jose airport. A source tells ktvu a prostitute went to the motel and told undercover officers she needed to get something from her car, and they followed her to a nearby parking lot, and found murphy and his brother waiting in the car. And murphys brother was cited for solicitation. And released. And murphy was questioned. But not cited or arrested. The whole bunch of them, all congregated over here. And then within maybe 20 minutes to half an hour, all of a sudden, we had black vans, and people in suits and all this kind of stuff. And moving around with the sheriffs and everything. Mour fy grew up in oakland and went to oakland tech. The broncos signed them to the practice squad in november. The head coach issued this statement, saying, quote, although practice squad safety ryan murphy was not cited by police, we decided it was best for the team if we continued our preparations for super bowl 50 without him. Ryan is returning to denver. But his status as a practice squad player has not changed at this time. End quoted. This whole incident goes to show how Law Enforcement is cracking down hard on prostitution, and human trafficking. And they have a task force dedicated to this. So they definitely have their eyes peeled for any type of illegal activity. Pam . If you had any question, now there is more proof. They are definitely out there looking for everything. Thank you, janine. 6 04. New this morning, the family of former raiders player ken stabler says that he had a brain disease. Cte. The New York Times reports when he died of colon cancer this past july, his brain was removed, during the autopsy, and sent to scientists, and it was studied for several months. Now researchers at Boston University say he had stage three of the degenerative brain disease believed to be caused by repeated blows to the head.

And this is 680, as you head down south. It is a little bit busier now, as we head toward san jose. Much easier morning commute compared to yesterday.

And so far, no serious injuries have been reported. Swruftd about 10 minutes ago, we learn just about 10 minutes ago we learned that kentucky senator rand paul is ending his bid for the republican nomination for president. He finished fifth in the iowa caucuses. The candidates who survived iowa are now in New Hampshire. Stumping for votes ahead of next weeks premare. Rival candidates are trying to steal some momentum from ted cruz and hillary clinton. Democratic Bernie Sanders has a solid lead in recent New Hampshire polls and on the republican side, donald trump is trying to avoid another loss in a conservative state to ted cruz. Who is now trying to convince voters he is not a onestate wonder. We ended december 31 with almost more money in the bank than jeb bush, plus marco rubio, plus john kasich plus Chris Christie combined together.

The wall street journal reports that the teams trainers wanted players to cut back on sugar and that meant getting rid of soda, cookies, pizza and pbj. Apparently, assistant coach walten led the charge to get the staple sandwich back and he says, players love them. And the ban was eventually overturned last month. The warriors eat pbj. Do you eat it . Sometimes. Yes. All right. Almond butter. Yes. And blackberry preserves. It sounds better. I like pbj, for the warriors, though, you would think that maybe if you just have one, and they are working out so hard i think they burn a few calories. Right. So yes. Everything in moderation, right . It is protein. Peanut butter is protein. Everything in moderation. Good morning, everyone. You know, what, if you are looking at the bay area commute today, it might start to change in San Francisco as more people are joining us. But the commute trying to get into the city, it is all of a sudden slow. We thought it would be in the 6 00 hour. 32 minute drive from the carquinez bridge to the mcarthur maze. The crowd getting into the San Francisco, it has been early, since the super bowl closures, today is no exception, a 20 minute delay getting into San Francisco. Lets look at the east bay commute, 680 a little slow through Pleasant Hill to walnut creek. Westbound 24. Moderate. Not a bad commute. Livermore valley westbound 580 moderate through the livermore area. No major problems. San mateo and dumbarton, bridge traffic looking good. Bart is not experiencing any major delays in and out of San Francisco. The ferries have been a little bit more crowded as well but there is still plenty of room for you and yesterday i spoke to a ferry spokesman and he told me that they do add service as needed. 62 91 29. 6 19. Lets go to steve. And dave and i grew up on wonder bread, skippy and welsch grape jam. And look how great you turned out. I dont know about that. Thank you, sal. For those of you, if youre out here, i need to keep track of the weather. What is going on . We have the ktvu weather app. Dont forget that. And kind of quiet. Over oakland here. And just some partly cloudy skies. And increasing clouds throughout the day. And grand lake. Everything. Not much of a breeze. And we have one more system, one more system, dont forget that ktvu weather app for your tablet or phone. And going north, south, anywhere you are going, and that system is Still Producing not as much snow, and it is up in wisconsin and out ahead of that, the Severe Weather is slicing through the southeast, and rain to washington, d. C. And new york and turns to snow around boston and points north. So it is a big impact for most of the country, just not out here. Things are pretty quiet, and the super bowl city. 45, partly cloudy this morning. And a little chill in the air for San Francisco. And 53, and 55 with cloudy skies later on. The forecast headline, afternoon clouds, and light rain, north bay, i doubt much makes it south. Tomorrow clearing and fog. And super bowl is nice. And sunny and warm. And in fact, maybe near 70 degrees near kickoff. And the system is toppling off. And not a lot to it. And i think it is more show than go. And light snow in the forecast to the north and clouds slowly increase throughout the day and not before we settle in on some 30s thank you. Brentwood is in there. Livermore, san jose, palo alto. Fremont, fairfield to name a few and there are many as well. And peninsula is checking a little out of the 30. And san mateo and woodside and menlo park, and los altos, and atherton, and san carlos at 37. And it is 9 in truckee. And 20 in reno. And 31 in las vegas. And cold there, and a little bit more cloud cover and better opportunity for rain, especially north of santa rosa. And teens or Single Digits around the lake, and truckee in south lake tahoe, with 9. And Incline Village at 19. But this system right there, you can see it, that is not very promising for any rain but a lot of clouds in the forecast and very light rain. And after that, everything moves out and north bay, the best bet late in the afternoon around 3 00 or 4 00, and watch how the system falls apart north of the golden gate. And after that, we lear it out and High Pressure kicks back in. And the storm track goes north. And turning cloudy, and sun in the morning, and staying on the cool side. With Santa Clara Valley. And upper 50s down there. And for the north bay, and areas in mendocino county, lake county, and northern napa and sonoma county. Not very warm. Upper 40s, low 50s and a few upper 50s and maybe 60, and morgan hill at 58. After tomorrow, we look good. Except for a few high clouds. The week, super, as we say. Yes. It is super. That is good.

Well, if you are going to the super bowl, you are going to see a lot of star studded super bowl commercials this sunday. There is a revolution coming. Excuse me what . What do you mean . One to look out for, the Lg Electronics futuristic ad featuring actor liam neeson, playing a man from the future, and talking to his younger self, which by the way is played by his real life son. This is lgs first spot ever in the super bowl. The collective we are dumb founded that people still drive drunk.

A second ad from anheuserbusch will feature the iconic clydesdale, the adorable puppies from the ads in the last three super bowls, they are not going to make an appearance. Taco bell says it will reveal a new menu item during its super bowl commercial. Even one of its pitch men doesnt know what it is. I mean how top secret can a taco bell product be .

Waiting on one more system that will be here this afternoon. It does not look like it will do much. But we will talk about your wednesday forecast, and see what is in store for the all important weekend. Good morning, thanks for joining us on mornings on 2. It is wednesday.

A little bit of clearing to the south. But still, we have increasing clouds. And one more system, so partly sunny here and super bowl city, 45 in San Francisco. And 53, and then 55 for a high today. The system still has a ways to go. The morning looks good. The afternoon will get clouds starting to roll. In and rain looks very light. And if anything, i think it is the marin county northward here and 30s and 40s, for our temperatures, and rather brisk this morning. And the peninsula, a lot of mid 30s. And 35 seems popular right there. And menlo park, palo alto, and los altos, and close for just about everybody else. Weak system driving north warped. Increasing clouds later today. And staying on the cool side, except Santa Clara Valley which looks in the upper 50s but everyone else, low to mid50s and very light rain north bay, and after that, everything looks good for the weekend. More on that in 10 minutes. Sal, 6 31. Things picking up, the usual slow . You got something new . Things are picking up. And just as you know, ali ras muss our reporter has been telling us about an increased security presence on bart, she will have more but we are finding out you may see some changes when you take the system today. I will take the system later on to get to super bowl city and listening very closely. Ali rasmuss, i know you can hear me. Im looking at her in the monitor. [ laughter ] she is coming up soon. Lets go out and take a look at some of the commutes here, on 280 and you know, i really like her by the way, just to say. Just sayin . And highway 17 there, no major problems. But things are getting more crowded. A look at the traffic maps in the east bay. We have a minor accident, southbound 880 at 238. And another one past 92. And still the traffic is not as bad as i thought it would be, given that there are two crashes there. And just a little bit lighter volume. And speaking of bart, i just think more people are using the system, especially with the super bowl closures in San Francisco. They are simply not taking the car to the city, and i think that is a great idea. But some people still have to cross the bay bridge. Lets go out and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. And you can see here, at the toll plaza, it is about a it is crowded about, a 15 to 20 minute delay. 6 32. Back to you at the desk. Sal, thank you. Local and federal Law Enforcement agencies, they are coming together, teaming up to, protect Public Transit for the super bowl. And ktvu fox 2alli rasmuss is in oakland now to tell us what commuters have been seeing so far this week. Good morning. Reporter good morning, dave. I wanted to let sal know that the feeling is mutual, but he is right, a lot of passengers so far have noticed an increased security presence on bart trains and bart stations all part of an effort leading up to the super bowl to protect people on Public Transit. Now especially at the embarcadero and west oakland stations, those are the busiest bart stations in the entire system. So some of the people we have talked to this morning say they have noticed more police in the area. And they told us they really appreciate it. And the tsa, as we mentioned, is getting involved. The transportation security administration, teaming up with bart, and San Franciscos muni and santa claras bta, to provide an increased security and Police Presence at stations and on trains. More officers at the stations, more officers upstair, not really on the trains but mainly here and embarcadero. I definitelies inned, throughout the bart terminals, and on the streets of San Francisco, i work in the city. The tsa is one of several federal agencies in the area working on this presuper bowl security. Representatives from the fbi, the department of homeland security, and even the u. S. Department of energy are in the bay area this week. The department of energys Nuclear Security administration is flying low altitude helicopters in our area. Now, this is video of the departments helicopters doing the same thing in the bay area four years ago, and back then, it was to measure baseline raidation levels in the ground, but this week, the helicopters are making their rounds for security reasons and looking for anything that could indicate a dirty bomb. We should mention all of this is being done as a precaution. Federal Officials Say there is no specific Security Threat but any time you have a major sporting event, with lots of people coming in from across the country, to attend, security is always going to be top of mind. What have we noticed here the request the west oakland bart station in terms of security . A bart Police Officer in a patrol car, patrolling the station and going through the parking lot and some early this morning, and then again about, a half hour ago. We havent seen any additional officers outside the station but we are outside and not on the platform and not on the trains, and based on what we have heard so far from passengers, this morning, they have noticed more police. Back to you guys. All right, ali rasmuss, hey thank you. The time is 6 35. At levi stadium, the groundskeepers are busy getting the turf ready for sunday. The end zones have been painted. The colors of the carolina panthers. And the Denver Broncos. And the nfl says work is on schedule. Now that turf as you know has been replaced many times since levi stadium opened in 2014. But the nfl says the field is actually one of the best they have seen. The ground crew says the pattern of rain and sun, it has created perfect conditions for grass growth. Now football fans are paying lots of money, lots of money to go to the big game. Stub hub says it sold two separate single seats for almost 28,000 each. Stub hub told us they are expecting to sell about 6,000 tickets at an average price of 6,000 a piece. The cheapest tickets, they have a face value of 850.

Health officials in texas have now confirmed for the first time that the zika virus has been sexually transmitted here in the u. S. Ktvu brian flores now in our newsroom with this new concern about the zika virus. Yes, pam, it is widely known that the vehicla virus has been spread through mosquitoes and while there are cases of zika spread sexually, experts say it is rare. Doctors and researchers though are scrambling to find a vaccine. In the meantime, there is a Public Awareness campaign, being launched on social media. This is a video recently released on facebook by founder and ceo mark zuckerberg. The company has teamed up with a brazilian nonprofit to get the word out, especially with expectant mothers. In the country and throughout latin america. Meantime, medical experts say an infected person who traveled back to the u. S. From venezuela infected another person in texas. Until now, confirmed u. S. Cases have been in people who traveled to latin america and were bitten by mosquitoes that carried the virus. The biggest concern though is for pregnant women who become infected because zika can birth defects in unborn babies. I would like to see a rapid test to take care of the fear that and women have enough to worry about throughout the nine months of pregnancy without worrying about the zika virus. It is a very low risk. At this point, researchers are not sure how long it will take to develop a test for the virus and they are scrambling to develop a vaccine. But he had say that could take as long as five years. Now according to the cdc, if you plan to travel to countries known to have the virus, you should use epaapproved insect repellent, wear long sleeves or pants and sleep under a mosquito net. Pam, back to you. That is a lot of things to think about and probably a lot of things people wont take the time to do. Well, you got to, if youre going to those countries especially. Sure. Thank you, brian. 6 38 is the time. New this morning, california failing in its tempt to cut deaths and disease caused by tobacco product, according to the American Lung association.

Welcome back to mornings on 2. 6 44. Live to the big board this morning. Because the numbers are trading now, and dow jones, off as expected, the futures were up all morning, about 66 points. And half of a percent, and the nasdaq and s p 500, trading up just about the same percentage wise. And after the newest report from adp showing the private sector created 205,000 jobs last month, better than most analysts had forecast. So a little positive reaction there. And thats what they were hoping for. And japans nikeii, overnight, dropped more than 3 , though, the major markets in hong kong and australia lost more than 2 each. And the european markets, they have been down, since they opened, and they are actually down further than their opening, down more than a percent or so, for most of them, and analysts saying, they are continuing the low price for crude oil, and it is affecting things, because of an oversupply that continues to weigh heavily on the markets around the world. And it is official, yahoo is cutting more jobs, the sunnyvale tech giant announced it will eliminate about 1700 jobs, close five of its International Offices as well. And yahoo says the move is an attempt to streamline operations, and cut costs. And that would mean yahoos work force shrinks to 9,000 employees. And most of the job cuts are expected to happen by the end of next week. Yahoo announced the changes hen wh ten released the Fourth Quarter earnings, after the closing bell yesterday and they were disappointed it was less than half of what it made during the same time period for 2014. Time is 6 45. And new this morning, the government of france wants to extend the state of emergency, that has been in place, since the deadly pairs terrorist attacks in december. Now, a pressure proposed today during a government Cabinet Meeting would extend the state of emergency, which is due to expire february 26, for three more months. The state of emergency expands police powers, to make arrests and searches, and it also lets them restrict the movement of people and vehicles. The proposed extension is now awaiting the approval of the french parliament. Back in this country, Los Angeles Police arrested a plan who they say was posing as a priest for decades. Officiating masses, funerals, and even a wedding. And now, his name is irwin manna, arrested yesterday, and he was facing dozens of federal charges including grand theft and perjury, and Authorities Say he is posing as a priest since the mid 1990s at catholic parishes across california. And now, last year, he allegedly took cash, from two dozen people, and he sold bogus trips to see the pope on the east coast. President obama will make his first visit to a u. S. Mosque to deliver a speech about religious tolerance. The president will hold a rounds table at the Islamic Society of baltimore to urge americans to embrace diversity. The visit is in response to a recent uptick in antimuslim rhetoric here in the u. S. And last week, president obama became the first sitting president to speak at the israeli embassy, where he warned about the growing antisemitism in the world. Time is 6 47. Lets get you moving. Hey, sal, everybody behaving in the macarthur maze . They are. It seems like it, dave. And the traffic pattern is really changing, since the super bowl city. People are getting on the bridge earlier, so everyone who has to use the bridge is getting there earlier, but a lot of the traffic around the bay, it has been well, there is lighter volume. Thats because more people are on bart, and on the ferries, for these super bowl closure weeks. And right now, you can even see that car pool lane, which is that line on the left. That is the car pool lane. That ramp. Even what is crowded now. And trying to get out to the bay bridge toll plaza. By the time we get to the toll plaza, the car pool lane opens up nicely. There is a line for that. So even car pool lanes have not been the greatest. And i have been taking bart down to super bowl city every day and it has worked pretty well. We have gotten there with plenty of time. And this is a look at 680 southbound, as you drive from walnut creek to the 24 interchange, and slow, also in lafayette. And highway 4 does have a little bit of slow traffic now. From pittsburgh, to bay point. It gets better in concord. So we have had a couple of things going on but just be wear, if you are taking the ferry or bart, get there as early as possible to avoid super big crowds. This is about the peak hour rye out in. 06 48. Peak hour right now. 6 48. Lets go to steve. A few high clouds. A nice sun vise. It is cold. It is cold in San Francisco, and even the observer, tom, down in blossom hill says it is going to be a cold walk this morning. A lot of 30s. One more front. It is weak. Its on its way. If youre out here, or youre just curious or a weather aficionado, refresh the ktvu weather app. One of best out there. Im not just saying. It is really good. Download for your tablet or phone. Mobile. Peggy spear hey, steve,. Is this the end of el nino this year . Im so disappointed. We have a long way to go. February, march, probably half of april, if not longer. By the way, very, very good article yesterday in the New York Times science section on el nino. And some areas, and aspects that we dont understand a lot. , it is lot it is the equatorial convection. And how Hurricane Hunter planes are taking a lot of observations. You know how to find that but the el nino story in the New York Times science section very good,and why it is so difficult to forecast times. It is cold but it may be clear where are you. A lot of 30s. If youre headed to super bowl city, 45 to start. And it will turn cloudy. The forecast headlines. Clouds later. Light rain. Very light. And tomorrow, clearing and fog. And everything looks good to go for a warm super bowl. And warm early next week. When you so he a system coming in like that, it is toppling over, that is usually not a very good sign and i dont think there will be much to this system, but the temperatures are hardpressed to warm up. Increasing clouds throughout the day. And novato is in the 30s. And fairfield, brentwood, and fremont, and san jose, and palo alto, they are many and san jose state meteorologist, cold and 39. And gilroy, 34. And plenty of 30s and just holding on, sant cruz proper. And there is not a lot there. And i would not expect much rain but we will get the clouds. And partly sunny in the afternoon and increasing clouds. A chilly day, i think unless youre in the Santa Clara Valley, a little bit warmer but some morning sun and clouds roll. In upper 40s, low 50s for some north, and then for other area, mid50s. So a few upper 50s, morgan hill, gilroy, it looks pretty good. Farther south, i doubt anything happens. A few clouds friday. And everything for saturday and sunday especially looks good. Steve, thank you. You bet. Time is 6 50. All right, what grade would you give to your boss . Coming up at 7 00, we will break down a new survey about how employees really feel about their managers. Here is a hint. Most did not get rave reviews. Plus, a young Denver Broncos fan, with Major Medical problems, he got his wish, up next, the surprise visit at a Bay Area Hospital, by one of his favorite players. Time now is 6 53. Look at the picture. Two people suffered minor injuries in walnut creek, and an elderly driver crashed into a cvs store. It looks like the 86yearold driver stepped on the gas, not the brake. His car hit an suv, and then backed into the store itself. The driver was hurt. So was the pedestrian walking by. Hit by flying debris. Police say they dont expect to cite that driver. Firefighters in oakland discovered a body inside a burned home. We were live at the home, on hood street yesterday, during mornings on 2. And i think you remember, ali rasmuss, at that scene, and firefighters say the fire started just after 11 00 monday night. And the body of an elderly woman was found after the flames were put out. The homeowner told neighbors he had been trying to get the woman to move out of that house, but had given her more time to find a new home. Californias early earthquake Warning System is getting a new boost from the white house. Earthquake, earthquake, light shaking expected, in two seconds. The Obama Administration says federal agencies are working to help streamline permits for the shake alert system. And now that system gave a five to 10 second warning prior to the 2014 napa earthquake. Enough people for for people to take cover and bart to stop the trains. The white house announced private grants that help scientists at uc berkeley develop a network of smartphones that can detect earthquakes. Someone in Southern California, they are missing out on 63 million. How much . 63 million. The story absolutely kills me. The Winning Ticket of a super lotto plus jackpot was sold in Southern California but the winner has not come forward. They have until tomorrow to claim the winnings. Otherwise, the good news at least, the money goes to the state education fund. And every day, i get somebody coming in, saying, oh, i wish it was me. Oh, i think it is me. Im like go home and check your ticket. I think it is me. I dont have a ticket but go ahead and give me the money. Oh, boy. The store has working security cameras, and they might have video of the winner, but officials dont want to release that video, they say it is really not clear who the winner is, since so many people were buying tickets at the same time. And if the winner does not come forward, it would be the largest unclaimed jackpot in state history. Unbelievable. 6 55. Guess what . Lady gaga is coming to super bowl50. Applause, applause. Pam cook knows every word of that song. I live for the applause. I know. The nfl announced lady gaga will sing the National Anthem this sunday. And oscar winning actress Marley Matlin who is deaf, she will join her, performing in american sign language. Now, the super bowl is always packed with talent.
