Issue. In antioch, phil matier, back to you. San jose is asking for help in chosing the next police chief. There is meeting going on as we speak. But len ramirez learned that the city may have narrowed the field to a handful of front runners. Reporter any time there is a job as important as the chief of police comes open, a lot of names come out. All of the names unofficial as the nationwide search begins. The fact that affective january 31st of next year ill be retiring as chief. The surprise announcement after two years of chief of police comes at a critical time in san jose. Crime is up and morale is low. Our Police Department is falling apart. We have more people leaving. I think we have another two going to los gatos and three that went to redwood and three or four that went so santa cruz. A steady stream of officers quitting the department tops a long list of issues that will confront whoever is hired as the next chief. A lot of things is causing them to drop the morale beyond control and it is coming from city hall and not the police chief. Reporter names are starting to surface. Fresno chief jerry dire and rick brazil have been mentioned as likely candidates. We went through the process two years ago and i think what came out of that is residents wanted the chief to be a superman or superwoman. And one City Council Member argued to dump the nationwide search and appoint a police captain. I think we have people that we should take a look at and forego the process and i think retired captain gary kir by would be an outstanding selection. But the decision isnt his. It belongs to the city manager deb fagony who said there is no shortcuts. This is critical for the city of san jose. It is one of the most visible appointments we have and important for the city manager that appoints that and we want to make sure to listen to the community and validated that we heard before and adjust evaluation based on what we hear now. Reporter and so officially san jose said the process is just beginning. There is no short list or long list officially but you can bet, dana, they do have some people in mind they would like to hire. A lot of people know about san jose and it has a good reputation still and a lot of people will be applying. This process will take a couple of months. It should be by the end of january, we should have a new police chief by the time chief more retires. In san jose, len ramirez, thank you. Experts think today could be the biggest cyber monday ever.

Well find out when it will hit us. It is not here yet. It was fog. Right now the cbs high def doppler is dry but after a dry day on monday this may be the wettest week in the bay area in more than a year. There is a pretty significant setup. Let me explain it to you. First off, tropical moisture is not uncommon and sitting out in the pacific. There is a ploom of tropical moisture from hawaii about 500 miles off shore. What is significant is that low pressure going in the perfect spot to take that tropical moisture and fire it right toward the bay area and then it will stick for several days. So there is the potential for heavy rainfall starting on wednesday. So we still have about 36 more hours. First wave of rainfall that moves through will likely bring rainfall totals in the north bay up to 2 inches and that is the first of several waves of low pressure to move through. So bottom line, heavy rainfall moving through the bay area later on this week. Ill time it out for you with your full sevenday forecast coming up in 10 minutes.

Linda yee is in the russian hill neighborhood where one business has posted a warning. Linda . Reporter dana, that warning, too many people Walking Around with their smart phones here on the street and not paying attention to the surroundings and getting robbed. So one Neighborhood Store here on polk street decided they will post a sign to warn their customers to take care. They are talking and they are texting. As they walk down the street, or sit at a sidewalk cafe. Police call these folks easy targets for thieves. Mindy was a victim on polk street in russian hill recently. I was just sitting there looking down at my phone and somebody grabbed it and it was like a phone wallet combo. I started chasing after them. But then i realized there was two of them and so i was like, what am i going to do . Reporter that was enough for her boss and coworkers at this beauty store nearby. They put up this sign warning customers, thieves are getting more aggressive, grabbing phones easily but sometimes using pepper spray, even a gun to steal the phones. Especially from women who are distracted by their phones. This used to be a safe neighborhood. It usually is. It is just i feel like people take advantage of that and they take advantage of feeling so safe and so they just you let your guard down. Reporter it was just last year when a taxi cab surveillance camera caught this woman walking in the same neighborhood. Watch the man next to her, in seconds he grabs her phone and runs off.

He had probably about five or six phones and he was just putting them in there, just like they were quarters in a candy machine, and getting money for them. And so at one point he shook his jacket to make sure he didnt have any more phones on him. Police say no matter what neighborhood you are in, if you are going to put the cell phone to your ear and walk down the street, you might as well be waving around a 100 bill because thats what thieves see. And in the first eight months of this year, there were 2300 street robberies and half of them for cell phones. Wow. An easy haul it sounds like. Good advice, linda. Thank you.

Because we are looking at a washout through the weekend. Here is a peek outside. The weather issue as issued the Weather Agency has issued a warning.

Embarcadero lit up for the holidays. San francisco downtown hit 58 and did half moon bay. Napa 65. Concord 63 degrees. Cbs 5 high def doppler dry for now. I do believe by this time tomorrow night well see rain building off shore with rain arriving after midnight and into wednesday morning. So why are we talking about so much rain . Because we get fronts moving through and rain moving through. This is reality. What we dont see that often is this river of moisture. We call it the Pineapple Express because of its origin, down toward hawaii. Where it sets up shop and when it sets up shop, over one spot and then doesnt move, that becomes a problem. And it may become a problem for us later on this week. Low pressure is building from the gulf of alaska. When these two come together, all of this moisture hitting the wall in the atmosphere and then getting shoved to the east, guess where it will end up. All indications are that it will end up in Northern California and that could be a problem with too much rain. So enjoy the dry tomorrow, because after tomorrow well be wet for a while, perhaps up to a week. San francisco tomorrow 62. Livermore 65. Put up lights in san jose, partly sunny tomorrow 64 degrees. I dont think well see as much fog tomorrow as we did this morning and it was widespread around the bay. Redwood city, high of 64. Rain begins on wednesday.

I dont think building houses up here is progress. Environmentalist ken mcentire with San Bruno Mountain watch shows me a rare flower in bloom. This is the endangered plant, about 50 of the total World Population of this plant is on these dunes. The rest is in a studio in San Francisco. The ancient sifting dunes above daly city, on a hillside above a neighborhood that just experienced a frightening mudslide, a major pipe burst sending 48,000 gallons of water and sand charging down the hill, burying more than a dozen cars and narrowly missing the houses. Now some neighbors are worried the hillside might be compromised so theyre paying attention to a development at the top. The plan is to build eight homes on just under one acre in the midst of the dunes. Even before the mudslide, ken mcintyre had been negotiating with the developer to try to change his mind.

Williams was arrested on sunday at his home in vallejo. He has been booked into the Solano County jail on a murder charge. This probably sounds like one of the scariest things that could happen at an airport. Weapons on the runway. At San Jose International this could be more of them. Cbs 5 reporter kate cog erin said it is aiming at birds. Reporter it is a bird, it is a plane. San jose staff said it is a deadly combination. If they intercept a bird upon departure or arrival here at the airport, it is extremely dangerous. Reporter airport staffers are taking a more aggressive approach in their battle against the birds. The city will vote on a proposed ordinance to allow employees and contract biologists to shoot at birds to clear them from the airfield. We trust that the Police Officers and our cities with firearms, so if they are protecting the passengers on the plane, thats what we need to do. Reporter but the ideas of guns on the runway doesnt fly with all passengers. It is just safety, but obviously if someone has a gun, who knows where the bullets end up so that doesnt make sense to me. I think they should keep looking for i think that firearms is a little dangerous. Reporter san joses airport uses cracker guns or noisemakers but that isnt working. The airport reported 180 bird strikes since 2009 and now the faa is requesting stronger action be taken.

So why is it spending more than 100,000 on a new student recruiting strategy . A cbs 5 reporter john ramos explain, some students pay off more than others. Solano Community College can serve about 8500 students. But with teacher cutbacks, the students here at the fairfield campus have a tough time getting the classes they need. Im in a class where there is only one of each for the whole semester and they are both packed. There may be two in one spot. You have to wait in line for the class you want. That is just part of going to college now. Yeah, thats part of going to college. So it is surprising to hear that the districts plan to fight this problem is to recruit more students. The difference is they will come from other countries. A consultant has been hired to recruit students from Asian Countries who will be paying much higher nonresident tuition. The colleges president insists the foreign students will not be taking spots from local kids. But if we add faculty members with the funding that we receive from the students, then it will create a whole lot more capacity for our students. Reporter eventually the college would like to attract about 500 international students. At 7,000 in tuition per year, that would generate an additional 3. 5 million, money to hire teachers. We would be able to offer more courses than we can right now and well be dependent less on the state economy to be able to sustain ourselves. Reporter the campus has plenty of room to grow. And a bond measure was just passed that could build new facilities. But the president of the faculty is skeptical the money would cover all expenses and worries that the higher paying foreign students would be at the front of the line when the u. C. Begins to select transfer students. All of this has the locals on campus feeling a bit unappreciated. Life is not, fair. Life is not fair. But it kind of seems like they are chasing the dollar rather than the education. Reporter but these days dollars and education cannot be separated. It is an economics lesson everyone is learning, even those who cant get into the class. In fairfield, john ramos, cbs 5.

Alex smith is our starting quarterback. He has not he has not done anything to lose that job. In fact, hes playing at a very high level. Both have a hot hand. This season is the quarterback position has been shared. And the confusion doesnt stop with harbaugh. Teammates have different opinions on the quarterback. This was alec boons tame on kaepernick . Unbelievable, the effort he gave today was awesome. But some were quick to back smith. You feel bad for alex. He won us championships and third rated passer on the football league. Obviously i want to play. I think i should. But its not my decision. An announcement is expected on wednesday because the longer the controversy lasts, the more fodder the media has.

I never i know nobody was giving us a let down for the pac12 media day at the beginning of the season and i told them it was the same thing, when toby left, it was the same thing when harbaugh left, it was the same thing when andrew left. And i guess people out there just dont get it. They dont understand what type of guys we have on this team, what kind of coaches we have. No, were not going away. We are not a oneperson team, we never have been. So people can say what they want but we know this team will be around for a while.

Oklahomas kenny steels juggling to prevent an interception. And not only did he do that, he caught it for a touchdown. Lsu and arkansas, and look at Jarvis Landrieu take it to the next level.

We had him in studio for game day and that was might have been the dunk of the year for Harrison Barnes. 10 points, 11 rebounds and the warriors win over minnesota. Last year they got Clay Thompson and good selection in the draft and now Harrison Barnes so the team is looking good. They certainly are. Road wins and the whole thing.
