the exclusive cbs 5 investigation. good morning to you, it is thursday, may 12. i'm juliette goodrich. sydnie and frank have the morning off. we are going to get a quick look at traffic and weather. let's start with lawrence. he is talking about a little bit of rain? >> yeah. there is a chance of rain in the forecast not today. looks like we'll be okay today. we are going to see lots of sunshine. we have some partly cloudy skies if you are heading out the door this morning but a lot of sunshine into the afternoon. some 70s into san jose and concord, warmer there today. also 60s into oakland and sunshine there and about 62 in san francisco. more on the chance for rain coming up. right now let's check on your traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. so far we are hotspot-free across the bay area. they should be doing the lane change any second across the golden gate bridge. it's "bike to work" day so expect more bicyclists on the roads. there are energizer stations across the bay area including one here it the golden gate bridge. so we'll tell you what that's doing to the morning commute plus check the bay bridge coming up. back to you. >> thank you. a murder-suicide in san

jose state. in a few hours miss are expected to make a major announcement about the shooting that left three people dead. kiet do is in san jose with what we expect to learn. kiet. >> reporter: good morning. san jose state definitely being very careful about the information that they are releasing because of student confidentiality. but at this point it looks like at least one of the three dead had a connection to the school. now, sjsu says tuesday night's shooting was unprecedented. over the past 36 hours, more details have emerged about the murder-suicide. a man and woman were inside their car when they were shot dead on the fifth floor. the gunman fired from the outside of the car and paramedics took him to the hospital with what looked like a gunshot wound to the right side of his head but he had died a short time later. the shooting happened at about 8:30 at night just before students got out of class and many complained the school took too long to let them know about the shooting. >> why do you have an emergency alert system temperature you're not going to alert us as to what's going on or where we should be or where we should

go, what we should do? >> reporter: the university says they made an announcement on their internal p.a. system 30 minutes and a text message an hour after that because there was no immediate threat. but they say they are going to reexamine the process to make sure nothing went wrong. that press conference is set for 10:00 this morning. >> kiet do in san jose, thank you. it's 5:02. a deadly stabbing in san rafael. this morning, police say they believe it was gang-related. a 21-year-old corte madera man collapsed in a yard south of downtown yesterday afternoon. police were in the area checking reports of young men running around with sticks and bats and of a white car chasing a red suv. well, that suv was eventually stopped. they are still looking for the white car. a 3-year-old campbell girl is safe this morning as her mother could face charges of felony child abuse. police say they found evidence

of abuse yesterday while conducting a welfare check at jane marin's home on pollard road. the mother and daughter were found a short time later in south san jose. police are still searching for the mother's ex-boyfriend. investigators are not releasing details of the alleged abuse. the 3-year-old was examined at a hospital and is now with child protective services. the east bay drug cop charged with stealing and selling drugs is now facing allegations of a different kind of crime. we first broke the story last night at 5:00. former cnet drug agent normal wielsch is now accused of operating a prostitution ring. cbs 5 has learned private investigator chris butler says he and wielsch ran a brothel in a pleasant hill office park. neighbors say they repeatedly called police about all of the men visiting women in the space that is now vacant. >> they were scantily dressed.

they were provocatively dressed, always totally made up. >> wielsch's lawyer denies the prostitution allegations. butler and wielsch already face dozens of felony counts for stealing and selling drugs from cnet raids. neither has been charged in connection with the alleged prostitution. this morning, san francisco police are investigating another video that looks like officers are abusing their authority. undercover officers are seen going after a bystander who sticks his head in a drug suspect's room while the officers were searching it. you can actually see that they put him in a chokehold. meanwhile the suspect says never gave permission for police to enter his room in the jefferson residential hotel. that contradicts the police report. also in the video, the officers take a duffel bag from the man's room. that bag was never booked as evidence. the officers are still on the job as police investigate. bryan stow may be back home

in the bay area in the next several days. the giants fan has been in a southern california hospital since he was attacked outside dodger stadium in march. next week he is expected to be moved to the uc-san francisco medical center. the family's website says the former paramedic is being given fewer antiseizure medications and has been moving more in the past couple of days. all right. it is 5:05 now. let's check in on our traffic and weather. let's first start with lawrence. >> good morning. we have a good day coming our way. a little more sunshine around the bay area for today just some partly cloudy skies this morning. already seeing some clearing in places in napa and santa rosa. dying cold front sliding into the bay area to mix out some low clouds this morning. so you're starting out with some 40s and 50s, cooler in the north bay with clear skies. but by the afternoon, we'll see a little more sunshine too. so temperatures are going to warm up nicely. let's plan on 74 in fairfield, 72 livermore, 71 san jose and

50s and 60s back out at the coast. there is a chance of rain coming up. we'll talk more about that in a minute. elizabeth has traffic. >> we are going out live with a photographer standing by in san jose. here's a live look at 101. headlights moving northbound. they are near the alum rock exit and it's a nice easy ride towards santa clara. southbound traffic gets by okay too. to our maps. we can show you all the approaches to the bay bridge toll plaza. so far, so good. everything at top speeds this morning. we have roadwork on the lower deck and the essex street and first street on-ramps still shut down until about 6:00 this morning maybe earlier. but for right now in the westbound commute direction you look great. and we are going to slowly but quickly zoom in towards at&t park. lunchtime giants gameplaying arizona at 12:45. that's your traffic and weather. back to you. >> thank you. 5:06. help on the way for neighbors in the south devastated by floods. we'll have a live report from mississippi. a warning to homeowners to

quote, unprecedented and un- american. complaining about your commute, a new study says the bay area has some of the best public transit in the country. anne makovec explains why and has the scoop on "bike to work" day. good morning. reporter: good morning. you have a couple of options if you want an alternate commute and get out of that car and stop paying all those high gas prices. one of the options is bike to work. today is "bike to work" day. and may is actually bike to work month. today we have little stations like this set up all around the bay area with snacks and water. really trying to encourage people to go ahead and ride their bikes to work and make sure that everybody is prepared along the way and has a good first ride. i'm here with diana levine. she is the executive director of the bay area bike to work coalition. tell me about the significance of the day. >> this is a great day to get people out first-time riders and get people used to riding

to work. it' affordable, healthy, good for the environment. it's encouraging people to get out there and choose an alternative method of transit. >> so this may be the first time that a lot of people are hearing about the fact that it's "bike to work" day on our newscast. is this something people should jump on board with this morning or should you plan it out? >> i think that probably if you haven't thought of this already, i think maybe tomorrow would be the day for you. [ laughter ] >> as opposed to today. but i definitely think you might want to come down to an energizer station or visit some of the after-work parties happening around the city. there you could get some information about bike safety and bike introduction classes. start off like that and commit to biking in 2011. >> reporter: that's inspirational. diana with the bay area bike coalition. a lot of people ride their bikes and then link up with

public transportation. our local transportation agencies have been named very highly in a survey that was just released this morning. in fact, the silicon valley is the second best place in the nation for transit. it includes how many people live close to bus or train stops and the percentage of passengers who can get to work in less than an hour and a half and as well as how often the systems run during rush hour. here's a look at some of the specifics. san jose, sunnyvale santa clara is 2 in the nation behind honolulu. also 16th san francisco, oakland, fremont areas. other regions in the top 20, fresno, modesto and bakersfield so it's easy to complain about our public transit agencies but there you go we are near the top of the list. diana thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> we'll be out here throughout the morning at the golden gate bridge one of the many fueling stations if you want to take advantage of free refreshments. juliette, back to you. >> you are all over it. anne makovec at the golden gate

bridge, thank you. 5:12. the flooding in the south showing no signs of letting up. we'll have a live report from mississippi coming up. the federal help on the way and the danger for neighborhoods already hit by hurricane katrina. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

show no signs of receding. the river is expected to crest at

vicksburg, mississippi in about week from the high waters of the mississippi show no signs of receding. the river is expected to crest at vicksburg, mississippi, about a week from today. holly firfer is live in vicksburg with more on this. good morning, holly. >> reporter: good morning. yeah. i'm standing in a parking lot believe it or not close to shore here in vicksburg. the water is already about 5 feet above flood stage. and as you said, it's not expected to crest here until next thursday. the swollen mississippi is continuing its relentless flow south. in its crosshairs an area far too familiar with damaging natural disasters. in louisiana, memories of hurricane katrina are still fresh, officials are faced with a difficult decision. opening the spillway could spare baton rouge and new orleans from damage but would flood another area of the basin. >> our hearts go out everybody

to downstream. this is monumental water. never been seen before. >> reporter: the spillway will open if the river's flow reaches 1.5 million cubic feet of water per second. it is currently flowing at 1.36 million cubic feet per second. governor jindal advises residents to plan ahead. >> my advice to our people is act as if the spillway, the corps is going to open the spillway. be prepared as if the decision was coming and that way -- i don't want people waiting. i don't want them to hesitate about whether they need to make evacuation plans or move their valuables or build these levees. >> reporter: president obama signed a disaster declaration for mississippi wednesday. 14 counties are now eligible for federal assistance. it's already too late to save some houses in the town of vicksberg on the mississippi- louisiana border and while efforts are under way to shore up flood defenses the woes could be yet to come. and about 1,000 people here in the vicksburg area have already been evacuated from their homes. and in the next week, officials

say another 4,000 people could be displaced. juliette? >> so what's the biggest concern right now? >> reporter: right now, officials are looking at what's called back water flooding. the yazoo river and the mississippi have a confluence. neat just not too far behind me. that's -- they meet just not too far behind me. that's where the yazoo would spill into the mississippi when its banks get too high but because the mississippi has no more room for more, the yazoo is flooding areas along the banks there and some residential areas there are wiped out along the yazoo. >> all right. holly firfer live in vicksburg, mississippi, holly, thank you. we have some pretty nice weather around the bay area today. not as much fog showing up just some partly cloudy skies to start out your day and temperatures in the 50s and the 40s. this afternoon more sunshine and warming temperatures. we'll see more 70s in the bay

area inland. inside the bay breezy a temperatures into the 60s. still not as many clouds and not as thick a fog bank as we had yesterday. we had low clouds and drizzle at the coastline. not today. just some partly cloudy skies. parts of the north bay are clear now and it looks like we are going to see more sunshine for most areas but this guy continues to linger off the coastline. that will bring with it at least a chance of rain heading into the weekend. so enjoy the sunshine this afternoon. plan on about 70 degrees in santa clara. about 69 in mountain vie 69 in union city. 50s and 60s coastside. east bay temperatures into the 70s. inland 60s inside the bay into alameda and also san leandro. out toward the coastline in the north bay talking 50s still but many of the valleys again picking up more sunshine and that means temperatures popping up into the upper 60s and some low to mid-60s into fairfield. toward the next couple days looking good through friday, over the weekend though the clouds start to move in. chance of rain by saturday night. think a better chance of rain

for everyone come sunday. showers could continue well into next week. all right. elizabeth, let's check traffic. >> reporter: let's do. thank you, lawrence. we don't have any major problems out there now. we are doing well. here's live look at conditions toward the bay bridge toll plaza. everything is cruising. we saw slight delays earlier in some of the far left cash lanes. those are gone. so it's a quick trip all the way from the incline towards the "s" curve. giants take on arizona at 12:45 this afternoon so delays around embarcadero this afternoon and over by king street if you are heading towards the ballpark. golden gate bridge looks great. it's "bike to work" day. we have reporter anne makovec out there. there are energizer stations across the bay area so watch out for those bicyclists if you are driving this morning. 880 through oakland, the nimitz headlights southbound. so far good towards oakland airport. i'm not seeing any roadwork in hayward continuing southbound 880. northbound 880 quick towards downtown oakland. and we can show you the commute

going to alert us as to what's going on or where we should be or where we should go, what we should do? >> as soon as our officers knew that the campus wasn't at risk, we turned our attention to attending to those victims. we did again send a message via our internal p.a. system to all classrooms and offices i believe within 30 minutes, may have been a little longer, to let people know that they are safe. >> reporter: the university says the system was working perfectly but they will review it to make sure they don't have to change anything and possibly implement any kind of sort of improvements to the system if needed. that press conference is set for 10:00 later this morning. juliette? >> kiet do in san jose, thank you. new accusations against a top bay area cop charged with stealing and selling drugs. cbs 5 first broke the story last night. former cnet drug agent norman wielsch is now accused of operating a prostitution ring. cbs 5 learned private investigator chris butler says he and wielsch ran a brothel in

medicine. and often times in our busy schedules, it's hard to find time so integrating exercise on the way to work is a perfect match. >> reporter: this may be the first time you're hearing about bike to work today. if somebody wants to start today? >> safety is paramount. make sure you have an operational bicycle and it's also important to make sure you have a safe route so joining one of your local bicycle coaltions is a great way to get connected with safe routes through your community. >> speaking of, a lot of people like to take their bikes and then hook up with mass transit that will take you the rest of the way to work and some good news on the local mass transit system. in fact, we're ranking pretty high in the nation when it comes to convenience in commuting to work. the criteria of the the study is how many people live close to the public transportation and number of people can get to work in an hour and a half and

but plenty of 60s. and at the coast, 50s and 60s, sunshine and a couple of clouds. a dying cold front sliding into the state mixing out the low clouds early on today and more of that this afternoon. so it looks like more sunshine for most people and some warmer temperatures, too. but this continues to linger off the coast. eventually this low will drop down bringing us a chance of rain as we head in toward the weekend. in the meantime, enjoy that sunshine. looking good as we head toward the latter part of the day. 71 in san jose. 72 in campbell. about 69 degrees in mountain view. and 50s and 60s coastside. plenty of 70s showing up inland today. as high as 74 in antioch today. 73 in walnut creek and 66 degrees in berkeley. in the north bay lots of 70s into the napa valley. 74 in fairfield. and about 70 degrees in petaluma. next couple of days look nice. very similar i think tomorrow as you will see sunshine with some patchy fog.
