cameras in all of the train cars. this upgrade comes with a price tag of just under $1.5 million. last month, bart promised to put working cameras in all 669 cars after a deadly shooting at the west

want show you what the embarcadero looks like. southbound lanes closed, that has been the way it has been since super bowl city and northbound lanes in front of the ferry building closed today near super bowl city. that to us, it looks like the biggest crowd that we've seen since it opened and that's what san francisco police are saying, as well. the host committee and police saying, you know, at this point it's at capacity, but folks are lined up outside to see if they can hear alisha keys when she does perform a little bit later this evening. also over at at&t park, the metallica convert, we stopped by. there were lines outside. folks buying t-shirts and excited just about the vibe that is happening here in the city. san francisco police saying that they brought extra resources in specifically today knowing that this would be the big day. a lot of folks outside not getting in but they seem to be in good spirit, good atmosphere and san francisco police say they haven't seen a lot in the way of incidents. that's the latest from here reporting live from san francisco, christienbcc bay area news. super bowl city has not really been a cash cow for everyone along the embarcadero. ade deli say that business is actually been way down all week long. the reason a lot of their normal customers, the ones that work in this area are working from home this week. >> all the regular customers are not here and the few tourists here are not confiscating for the local customers. so i think some people are losing money. >> how about that? the owners said on friday business did start to pick up again and they are hoping for a busier weekend to make up for losses in the week. >> you can expect to see more officers on the roads this weekend. police officers are treating the super bowl like a holiday, not like your and my holiday, that means they are not taking it off. looking for drunk drivers, santa clara county will have stepped up enforcement. if you want to get to see the super bowl in person, you still can. there is still tickets out there and right now you can kind of get a deal. right now on stubhub, the cheapest ticket available, $2700. >> that's like the nose bleed section. >> could be. the average price is $4700. that's on pace for the highest ever for a super bowl. the highest for another super bowl was $4200. most of the ticket sales are from people right here in california. for those going or maybe just watching the game in surrounding areas, what a beautiful weekend on tap. even if you can't go live, you get the prize of amazing weather. >> nice weather and temperatures above the sunday forecast both in denver, colorado and charlotte, north carolina. 40 degree temperatures and the panthers ahead 53 tomorrow in terms of a high temperature but much warmer here in the bay area. inside levi's stadium around kick off time, temperatures in the low 70s getting close to record-breaking highs. getting a sneak preview of that with the seven-day forecast. outside right now, san jose looking good. hazy skies as you try to make the trek across the bay bridge. 61 now. we may see patchy fog towards tomorrow morning. it's the time of year you need a jacket. as we move into the afternoon, 60s and low 70s tomorrow which may encourage you to head out to the coast and rough surf and wave height ten to 12 feet and beach hazard. notice the wind direction. clear skies and wind off coast and notice the temperatures tomorrow close to 70 in san jose. sarah toga upper 60s. livermore and pleasanton and thanks to high pressure strengthening, the storm looks impressive offshore but will entirely miss the bay area and underneath the ridge temperatures beginning to climb up. look at the high temperatures heading towards monday adding on a few more degrees from the north bay and san francisco closing in on 70 and look at the temperatures in san jose. mid 70s in reach and that puts us very close to some record highs. these would be the record high temperatures as they stand now and the forecast there on the ride closing in on record highs for san jose. so that's the forecast moving forward and next chance of seeing some rain might have to wait until friday. overall, this could be the driest week we've seen since the end of november. so friday, we'll expect to see a chance of a few showers, much cooler next weekend and highs in the low 60s and the seven-day outlook for rainfall, the driest going back to late november and early december so while the weather is nice, we hope we don't get too many days of dry weather because the sierra has been fantastic. the difference almost two feet the average snow depth compared to last year and satellite light views look good to start the week. we'll see if we can hold onto the gains as dry weather moves in over the next seven days. back to you. >> all right, rob. nasa dropping the study el nino. >> how they are planning to use planes to monitor storms this winter. ==terry/live cam== this just in. large cwds at per bowcity n. bart just sent a tweet to de this just in, large crowds at super bowl city in san francisco. now affecting bart. bart just sent a tweet out to riders telling them because of the growing crowd, you get an idea how big they are, because of the crowds at the station, trains may skip the station all together. the transit agency, says it is the safest way. riders can still take bart and exit montgomery and walk a few blocks. you can still take bart but may not get off at the embarcadero. >> boy, big crowds there. obviously, teams and federal researchers to study el nino will fly these global hawk aircraft into storms over the pacific. the information gathered will be used to fill in the gaps in forecast. the idea is to improve weather forecasting at a time when storms are more powerful and as a result, more dangerous. >> a $700,000 accounting mistake. california workers are over paid by the state. now the government wants that money back. the sacramento reporting employees received extra payments from $37 to $100. they happened because the office failed to increase some employee's with holding for medical
