>> not as bad. in fact, i would say looking at all the readings about half as strong as they were at this time yesterday. we still have some gusty winds that can catch you from time to time. and in addition to those windy conditions, it's cold out there. you have a windchill factor feeling more like the upper 30s and the 40s down in san jose where we are at 40 degrees right now. as we head throughout the day, the 60s return, the 70s tomorrow, and then a new storm system moves in. i'll talk about that coming up. let's talk to mike about that accident in livermore. yeah. just kicked things off. we already had a slow drive, now much slower still, holding at about 28 minutes overall, but we have the scene at fortola, then a car that ran out of gas in the backup. remember to fill up if you're taking 580 because you'll have a wait. further back in greenville, reports of a semitruck on the shoulder there as well. this time a fire reported coming out of the dash. the person who is driving is okay, but still that's a distraction. of course we have the wind advisory for the bay area bridges. we'll take a look at the san mateo bridge, but i will

give you more details on that coming up in the next report. >> thank you, mike. 6:01 now. we have new details just in on a developing story we've been following all morning, the double death mystery in sunnyvale just took a bizarre turn. "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang is there live and just spoke with a neighbor. stephanie, what are you learning? >> reporter: well, good morning. first of all, police came here to the sunnyvale home behind me and discovered two bodies. we just spoke with a next-door neighb neighbor, charles tovar, who told us he knew the family well and police told him last night it was a murder/suicide involving the mother in her 50s and her son in his 20s who the neighbor tells us was autistic. police got the first reports of two people shot in this home on the 800 block of nectarine avenue around 7:45 last night. tovar says it was the phatter who discovered the bodies when he got home from work. he adds he knew there were some family troubles but is still in

total shock. >> i know a lot about them. i knew her real well. and -- but -- i'm in shock. i don't know what happened. i'd see her every day. we'd go walking. if she had her son, very autistic, and she had trouble getting him in school. she had -- the last one he was in she had to pull him out or something. they couldn't handle him anymore. >> reporter: we did speak with other neighbors last night off camera who said they didn't see or hear anything strange last night. if either death is ruled officially a homicide, it would be the first this year in sunnyvale and the first in more than five months in the city. reporting live, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." it is 6:03 right now. it is the worst kept secret in cyberspace. in just a few hours, apple will make a major announcement that virtually everyone expects will be a new ipad.

bob redell joins us live from san francisco about what's under the hood of the new gadget. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, laura. of course it's all speculation as to what apple will be unveiling a few hours from now. they've only hinted that it would be a new version of the ipad. the speculation out there on the internet is that it's not going to be called the ipad 3 but perhaps the ipad hd, referring to the new display, the new display a lot of people thinking will have a high-def resolution, which would be much better than the ipad two 2. there's speculation about a faster processor, speedier wi-fi access to the internet, even the fire department's getting excited about this, and perhaps serie, the voice-activated assistant already found on the iphone 4s. what people are not expecting is a radical change from the i pad 2. if you think about the transition from the ipad to the i pad 2, the ipad 2 avided two more cameras and also became much thinner and lighter in

size. now, the best guess is this new ipad would go on sale a week from friday. apple is also expected to make an announcement regarding apple tv. that's the device that plugs into the current set. all speculation begins at 10:00 a.m. when the presentation begins at the urban buena center for the arts. it's been transitioning from a computer company to a mobile groan. scott mcgrew, we used to call it apple computer. back in the days of 2em. >> they dropped the name computer a few years ago. anticipating the kind of company that they've really become today. our friends at planet money put this graph together. just three years ago, macs, in the green, the biggest seller. as you move to the right, look what happens to the brown with the iphone. it becomes the company's main business. and add i pad to that all of a sudden in 36 months ap sl an entirely different company.

push this idea forward, 36 months from now, february of 2015, apple might base its entire company on two products we've never heard of. at least that's the hope. can apple continue to invait the way it has without visionary steve jobs, or will it continue to upgrade to iphone 5, 6, 7.no the way it has without visionary steve jobs, or will it continue to upgrade to iphone 5, 6, 7. we expect an upgrade today, but in the future, will we see those new products that have changed ap sol much? >> things we don't even know. a man accused of driving drunk and hitting a 9-year-old boy near at&t park is expected to make a plea today. 22-year-old andrew vargas is due in court to answer charges he ran down ryan white as he and his family were walking to a hotel from a phillies/giants game last year. white was critically injured but is now recovering at home in pennsylvania. vargas remains on jail on $465,000 bail.

he had originally pleaded not guilty in that case. 6:06. three suspects in the stomping death of a small dog are in custody this morning. san jose police say 15- and 16-year-old gang members killed a four-pound mini yorkshire terrier named shadow last month. the teens are also charged with beating and robbing the dog's owner, who they say was a rival gang member. two suspects were already in dust custody on unrelated charges. the third is also being held in juvenile hall. more results from super tuesday came in overnight. early this morning nbc news declared mitt romney the winner of the alaska caucuses. he picked up a narrow win in the ohio primary as well as those in massachusetts, vermont, virginia, and idaho. rick santorum won primaries in tennessee and oklahoma and the north dakota caucus. and newt gingrich won big in his home state of georgia. back to ohio, another close race. projections show romney got 38% of the vote. santorum received 37%.

just a 1% difference there. romney says he realized -- he says he realizes it is a numbers game. he says he's winning in the category that really counts. >> tonight we're doing some counting. we're counting up the delegates for the convention. it looks good. and we're counting down the days until november and that looks even better. >> it is so close. romney has more than 300 delegates. ron paul hopes to win the caucus states but lost them all. stay with nbc pay area news for all the development and fallout from super tuesday. you can always head to our website, nbcbayarea.com. just look for a special political section. good morning to you. it is 6:08. meteorologist christina loren hard at work checking the forecast throughout the bay area. little bit of wind this morning. >> yes. the politics aren't the only thing heating up. we have a good-looking forecast, not just today, a warming trend that lasts well into friday. if you want to get outdoors, you're going to have plenty of opportunities to do so. that wind may have kept you in

yesterday. we still have breezy conditions out there but not even close to as strong as we were at this time yesterday morning. i mean, we were talking about sustained wind speeds at 30 miles per hour. right now we have comparable wind speeds, 23 miles per hour in novato, 17 in fairfield. but overall we're looking really good, really calm in san jose. down to 7 now, 3 miles per hour in half moon bay and 3 miles per hour in san mateo. your day works out like this. inland you'll see a temperature of about 54 degrees by noon today, 53 by the bay. at the coast you'll touch on 55. a little cooler today near the water versus inland. throughout this weekend, not just the weather changes. we have to spring forward, that wonderful, magical time again. you want to turn those clocks ahead one hour, 2:00 a.m. sunday, best bet is to do it after you -- right before you go to bed on saturday night. because this is that time change where if you don't change your clock you're going to end up one hour late to work. i've done it before.

boss none too pleased. mike has the drive. you'll be delayed traveling 580. still the accident scene, which is just about clearing, westbound 580 at portola avenue. slowing just starts to clear around there. the backup all the way to greenville in the westbound direction where we have a big rig on the soldier there reportedly with a fire involved in the cab, but no injuries. a lot of distraction through to pleasanton where things clear up to the dublin interchange, though. highway 4 with a standard slowdown here jamming, through antioch, clearing by leverage. but a wind advisory for antioch, a little unusual, gusty but not sustained like yesterday. westbound 80 we have some slowing past the scene of an zen, minor slowing as the volume builds. this is around richmond parkway. not a major issue because it's off to the shoulder. we'll see slowing luthrough san pablo and heading to the bay bridge as the morning continues.

the bay bridge itself moves smoothly with no metering lights yet. our san francisco rooftop camera shows the shake because of the higher elevations, like we're talking about, gusts of winds at times. hold on tight over the water, guys. 6:11. still to come on "today in the bay," should peyton manning be the next quarterback of the 49ers? one big former niner thinks so. details coming up. and if you want your oakland a's and oakland raiders to stay right here in oakland, the security council has some news you might like. i'm storyis coming up.ll have t. ay, people, s get started. pete, did you forget yours? me pete, me use pen!

welcome back, everyone. oakland is taking a big step towards keeping its sports teams in town. christie smith joins us live.

they're putting out $3.5 million for a complex makeover. >> reporter: good morning. the teams have played in oakland for so long that for a lot of people who call oakland home they just can't see them playing anywhere else, even if it's right down the road in another bay area city. the oakland city counsel is taking some steps to get them to stay, approve dlrg 3.5 million on plans for a new stadium. their website says the oakland raiders played their first game here against the chiefs in september of 1966 and this the arena opened two months later. of course there was a big renovation in 1995. but the planned overhaul of the coliseum is really aimed at getting the raiders, a's, and warriors to stay put. the rais and raiders want their own stadium, the a's eyeing san jose, and it includes renovating the area between 880 and airport with shops, a conference center,

hotels and entertainment. the plan pays for a study and the city council approved this last night. but the big question is who would pay for the project itself. we're told it would be privately funded and the city says the teams would probably need to chip in as well. the city council expected to reveal more about their plans. they're holding a press conference at city hall at 10:30 this morning. live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the update, christie. good morning to you. 6:15. a chilly start to your wednesday and a little bit of wind we're dealing with. >> yeah. that will help you wake up this morning, you walk out that front door, that cold air hits you in the face. in the 30s in the north bay this morning. we haven't had to deal with the 30s for quite some time. a lot of cloud cover to kick off the workweek. for today, quite a change, back in the 70s for tomorrow. today, plenty of upper 60s. a lot of warmth on the way as we head through the next few days, temperatures really on the climb

as high pressure takes control of our weather pattern. that area of low pressure came through yesterday working against that ridge that's moving in right now. the two work against each other. as a result, a tight pressure gradient still rather tight and winds in the 20-mile-per-hour range in novato and fairfield. but the futurecast tells the story. look at the key. you can see the yellows and oranges, where we're expecting stronger winds. we stop at the clock at 7:00, but we progress through the day today and you see more blues and greens coming in, an indication of those winds starting to relax. as we kick off tomorrow morning, we're talking about calm winds. really good news for you big rig drivers out there. been tough in the past couple days. high pressure will move in and stabilize the atmosphere, push the cold out of the way. it will take a day. we'll see mid-60s today. but by tomorrow, the 70s return and we'll stay nice and comfortable. seven-day outlook tells the story. today, 60, 66 in morgan hill, 65 from milpitas.

about 63 in san francisco today. then take a look at the climb between today and friday. we're going to bump you up to 75 inland with plenty of sunshine. things change a little saturday. breezy conditions, more clouds. then monday it looks like we might get a few showers in the north bay. the next system, this one is potent, arrives tuesday into to wednesday, continuing the rain chances through thursday of next week. overall next week, looking like a much different pattern. enjoy the sunshine we have out there for you today. let's check your drive with mike. not enjoying that drive through livermore this morning. a heavy volume for 580 because we're jammed early by the accident at portola. that is cleared from the scene. starting to recover with speeds into the 50s coming past vasco and toward portola avenue. jammed towards greenville with that big rig still on the shoulder. reportedly, there was a fire in the cab of that.

not a major distraction, but there are a couple chp vehicles there adding to the slowing down. that will be an issue for folks traveling through livermore but gumming up things and providing a break for folks in pleasanton and castro valley. on the east shore freeway, action on the shoulder at richmond parkway but no slowing in the last 20 minutes. i'll say some paperwork is going on. move along down the east shore freeway. excla makes points across the bridges show you the wind advisory by chp. a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza as the volume kicks in. metering lights turned on a few minutes ago. along the peninsula, no problems for 101 or 280 but san mateo and dumb b dumbo, same bridge warnings. san francisco has golden gate park, marin has vista park. oakland is working on plans for gateway park. a public hearing will be held this morning on the project at the east end of the bay bridge. the city is discussing the idea

of adding a park along the south edge where the new span will touch down. officials say today they'll talk about design and cost. the meeting is at 9:30 this morning at the metro center auditorium in oakland. 6:18. palo alto's popular municipal golf course could get a major makeover. city leaders are looking at a proposal that would build a levee at the golf course to protect people living downstream of the flood-prone creek. in addition, city council is throwing its support behind an ambitious plan to renovate 13 of the 18 holes to create 15 new greens and set aside about ten acres for a new athletic field. the revamp would cost about $7 million. >> the giants would take on the rockies at spring training today. the game starts at noon. yesterday's exhibition pit the giants against the dodgers. melky cabrera hit two home runs in the game and the giants win 8-4. jerry rice says the team

should pursue peyton manning. he sat out the 2011 season after a series of neck injuries. manning says he's healthy enough to continue that career. rice told the "san francisco chronicle" he thinks the niners should go for manning because he could take the offense to a new level. >> see what harbaugh chooses to do. coming up, israel's president continues his trek in the bay area today. and saving money by using twitter and your acan express card. -dad, why are you getting that? -that's my cereal.

example. okay. whole foods sends out the message tweet hashtag amex whole foods and get one $20 credit at the store through the end of the month. you tweet something like just spent my whole paycheck a at #amexwholefoods, and the next time you shop at whole foods and spend more than $75 and use your american express card, you'll get that discount at the register no muss, no fuss. as laura points out, you have to be willing to send tweets to your friends promoting a story. but, hey, it's 20 bucks. let's talk about sony. you may have heard ap sl announcing something today. sony is, too, and it has an apple tie. sony radically paring down the number of model tvs it offers. it will also ask stores to sell them at one price. you know how you go to an apple store and get the same price as you would at a target store and

were only described as adults, were dead. tovar says it was the father who discovered their bodies when he got home from work. the neighbor alds he knew there were some family troubles but he's still dealing with his shock. >> she's very, very nice. >> reporter: had she ever complained about being frustrated? >> i knew that she was kind of lonely, because after she took him to school and then -- he worked all day, and she was by herself. we moved in here about the same time. and i lost my wife. so she -- we spent a lot of time together, you know. >> reporte >> everything seemed normal, totally friendly couple and great neighbors. you wouldn't want better neighbors. >> reporter: you were just having a garage sale and they were talking about going hiking with your family. >> yes. yes. >> reporter: so this must leave you feeling? >> very stunned. very stunned. this kind of thing never happens

2 added two cameras and became thinner and lightener size. yes, there were changes with the i pad 3 but not as transformative. this is what people are speculating about, there would be a high-def display, much higher resolution to the ipad 2. perhaps the ipad hd faster processor, speedier access to wi-fi, and siri, the voice-activated assistant that's already on the iphone 4s. here's some thoughts from our own tech and business guru, scott budman. not is so much a red cal change in design but aed are cal change on the inside. we could see a lot of new software, a new processor to make everything you do on your ipad go faster, some new apps certainly, maybe even a better camera. >> reporter: apple's also expected to make an announcement regarding its apple tv. all the speculation ends in just over three hours at 10:00 a.m. when apple begins it presentation at the yerba buena

super tuesday appears to be a super sweep for mitt romney, winning more than any other candidate, including ohio. tracie potts joins us from columbus, ohio, for a look at the numbers. >> reporter: good morning, everyone. here's what we know after super tuesday. has surged ahead in terms of

delegates. he was able to pull out this very tight race, winning by only about one percentage point in ohio. but still can't seal the deal when it comes to this nomination. we've still got a long way to go. that's because in addition to six states including wyoming they have partial caucus. in addition to those that romney won, rick santorum came in a very strong second here in a state that's not winner take all, which means he'll get ohio delegates. plus santorum won tennessee, north dakota, oklahoma. newt gingrich won his home state of georgia but nothing beyond that. and so the question remains this morning, how much longer can he stay in this race. he says he's staying in even though some santorum supporters are saying he should get out at this point. and then finally ron paul, who put all his eggs in one basket, he wanted to win those caucus states -- alaska, idaho, north dakota -- he didn't win any of them. how much longer is he going to stay in this race? are he and gingrich and maybe even santorum splitting the

votes? what we do know is that after these races last night it looks like it may be late may, even early june, before we know who the republican nominee is. laura? >> interesting to see. thank you very much. 6:43. coming up on "today in the bay," 15 minutes of uninterrupted news, including new information this morning on a double shooting in sunnyvale. a live report on the way.
