in tahoe will become more common as the climate warms. however there is no clear evidence about what trends really might emerge, so it's not really known. we talked about avalanches and climate change today with san jose state meteorologist doctor craig clemens on our 3 p.m. program called getting answers. >> i, you know, i don't think we really have an answer to that. >> it potentially could main being that it changes the maybe if we get warmed it more warm days in the winter, it changes the surface of the snowpack. so when we do get heavier snow or, you know, a warm snow event that could trigger some more avalanches, but there isn't really any research linking climate change to. avalanche activity. avalanche activity is a function of our by our daily weather events and terrain conditions. so all right, you can watch interviews like that one every weekday. >> getting answers airs at 3 p.m. here on abc seven and wherever you stream. >> new at six. new details on the plane that crashed off half

surviving. >> lee says he wanted to try out some smaller establishments around the bay area, like lux box. williams served him jerk lamb basa fish, yams and macaroni. it was a hit, but lee announced on social media that he's cutting his trip short and allergic reaction. some bad food experiences and safety top his list of concerns. >> i definitely feel like we're all in survival mode trying to figure things out. the cost of living is extremely high. um, i think he hit it on the nose, but she adds, for those who live here, they know how to navigate their neighborhoods and communities. >> and despite the hardship, her hard work is paying off. today is the one year anniversary of her store, and she's turning a profit. i definitely struggle, they have their ups and downs, but i have a good support system. >> i have a partner. he has always helped me, my daughter and my children. they're my support system, so we struggle, of course, but we stick together. >> many have criticized lee's assessment of the entire bay area, based on just a few restaurants in neighborhoods, but he was impressed with the lock box. i left a $2,500 tip. >> i am taking my kids to hawaii

>> yeah. i was going to say. yeah let's lay him down. ready? position how long has he been out? >> hey, hey, he's moving. >> hey. sorry. she hit him already? >> yeah, i hit him with one. yeah. hey bud. >> you're okay again? >> a unit hit the emergency button. can you come up and acknowledge, please? >> with paramedics on the way, the deputy decides to administer another round ten for accidental. >> i get one more shot. >> give me one more. hey, buddy. couldn't hurt. >> the narcan eventually kicks in, and the man wakes up apologizing to the deputy. sorry about that, honey. >> look, we're going to have you checked out, okay? yeah. okay. >> we gave you a bunch of narcan. it does take five six narcan. sometimes i carry six with me at all times. and uh- with fentanyl. you're never going to use one. you're going to use more than one. >> hey what's up man? >> the nearly 30 year veteran

can remember a time when heroin was their biggest battle. >> when we use narcan with people on heroin, they would pop right up. it was amazing. it was a game changer. but then as the years progressed, they started lacing the heroin with fentanyl and then we started using two, three, four narcan since, like, what's going on here? >> fentanyl is 50 times more powerful than heroin. and it has transformed san francisco's streets. >> it's so different that people on heroin could so much somewhat function, you know, for the most part. but people on fentanyl are just they completely takes over their lives. >> and because it's so different, the deputy decides to take a different approach. >> we figured come from a position of compassion and care rather than incarceration. and that's how we get we build trust and we have people actually approaching us for a change rather than running away from us. >> and speaking of running, check out the shoes. it's a very

intentional choice. >> we decided to dress down to break that stigma of us and them . you know, i see look, i have a hoodie on. i have a baseball cap and, uh, people love my shoes. so that's a conversation piece i'm wearing air force ones today, so that helps people comment on my shoes. and then they say, oh, that's the guy with the shoes. >> and he says, being that guy with the shoes goes a long way. >> this makes a difference between walking by somebody you know, is your friend okay? oh they're okay. they're just sleeping, deputy. and then you could pass them by and they can be overdosing, whereas now they say, oh, deputy, i need your help. >> the deputy taking it up as his duty to protect the most vulnerable. >> somebody overdosing is a victim, you know, with substance abuse disorder. and i don't want it happening on my watch. if i can do anything, i'll do it. and, uh, i haven't lost anybody yet, so i think i'm doing okay. >> and the guy with the shoes

has no plans on hanging up the laces. any time soon. >> the other day, somebody gave me the nicest compliment i've ever gotten in 29 years. they said, deputy bloom, i feel safe when you're around here. and uh, that really got to me. it made the 29 years worth worthwhile. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> now, if you or someone you know is struggling with issues like substance abuse, there is help out there. find local resources at abc seven news.com slash. take action. boy barry is just doing an amazing job. he sees everything out on the street. >> you can tell that he really cares clearly. absolutely. okay, let's get a check on our weather two coming up. i three two. one, two. coming our way. sandra. yes, it is a two. and this is a storm ama and dan that you will want to perhaps take your plans inside tomorrow because take a look at that storm impact scale a moderate strength storm for

tomorrow. >> no rain downpours at times. winds are going to be gusty and there will be flooding on the roadways. it's the urban flooding that we're used to when too much rain falls at once and the drains can't handle it. so do look out for that. your smaller streams and creeks in your backyard will likely see rapid rises, which means flooding potential there as well. the russian river at hopland expected to possibly exceed flood stage sunday morning and may exceed flood stage. so stay tuned. here's a look at the storm concerns. so flooding once again urban flooding, high trees down a pretty high likelihood. power outages. it's in that medium category. and sierra snow high category. so here's what you need to know. it's a warm storm. it's not a cold storm. which is why the snow levels are going to go in the sierra from 3500ft tonight to getting up there into the 6000 foot range. here is a look at that storm on live doppler seven. and it's got quite the moisture plume. it is going to drench much of the

pacific northwest with heavy rain. and the north coast now part of the north bay, will have a chance of seeing some excessive rain right now on live doppler seven. locally, we're seeing just a lot of cloud cover that will change san jose camera. it's a really quiet view right now. 53 degrees in san jose, low 50s from san francisco to oakland, san mateo, half moon bay as well. lovely view from our emeryville camera. looking back towards the city and sutro tower 45 in petaluma. it's in the upper 40s from santa rosa to napa to fairfield. 50 degrees in livermore for tonight. it's not going to get as cold as it was this morning. some of our official reporting sites this morning in the low to upper 30s. so here's a live view from santa cruz camera the week ahead. level two storms soaks us tomorrow. the winds ramp up strongest in the afternoon and evening and it is a chilly start to martin luther king junior day. but a dry day flood watch from the north coast. all the way down towards parts of lake and mendocino counties. 10:00 tonight until sunday morning. that's where they're going to

see the highest likelihood of some pretty big issues as heavy rain is expected. parts of the north coast looking at up to a half a foot of rain. we are in that marginal category. the green there for parts of the north bay of seeing excessive rain. so just be alert. listen to your emergency officials in case things start to get out of control. in the north bay, especially the sonoma county coast. so saturday morning you will notice some scattered showers moderate up to the north. and then it gets heavier as we head towards 10 a.m. in the north bay, you are seeing some moderate pockets of rain. elsewhere. the rainfall intensity will be heavy at times. it turns to more scattered. and then here comes another batch of heavy rain. so don't be letting your guard down because you look outside and there's just a few showers because this is a warm storm. it holds much more moisture than a colder storm. so it will soak us from time to time. sunday morning there will be still some scattered showers early on, and then that system is gone. rainfall projections highest in

the north bay. you're looking at 1 to 3in plus other parts of the bay area, anywhere from about a half an inch to an inch. and i will tell you, the computer models, as we get closer, tend to go lower on some of these rain totals. i don't buy it, so just keep that in mind. winds will be gusting uh- 3:00 in the afternoon, 20 to 25 miles an hour over 30 miles an hour in the evening hours, and then getting up over 40 miles an hour. this is why you could see some trees going down and a few power outages. just something to keep in mind. 30s and 40s on your morning temperatures it is going to be a wet saturday start a stormy day pretty much for your saturday afternoon. you're looking at highs in the 50s. keep the rain gear handy. if you do have outdoor plans. sunday is a better day to be outside the accuweather seven day wet and gusty. tomorrow with that level two storm, we get a break sunday afternoon through martin luther king junior day and then another weaker system comes in midweek. ama and dan. >> all right, sandhya, thank you.

>> well, people released from prison often struggle to find and keep a regular job. some formerly incarcerated people are finding that becoming wildland firefighters is a solid path forward. >> i was going through my addiction and committing a little crime, and it kind of led me to going get incarcerated, and i got tired of going back and forth with in and out. so i just decided to change my life around. >> you can watch the abc seven originals documentary, forging heroes. it's streaming now on abc seven news.com. the abc seven bay area app and it will be on tv this sunday at 2:30 p.m. be sure to watch. >> all right. coming up, is there such a thing as being too old for apple? we'll explain how that affects al gore next

stacked shipping containers. evidently are not enough. now you see, berkeley has installed razor wire that you're looking at here on top of the barricades at people's park. the university says it's another security measure while they wait for construction to begin on a new housing project for students, abc seven news reporter ryan curry is in berkeley with the story. >> well, did shut and stacked on one another. >> it's now been over a week since workers installed these cargo containers. people cannot get in to people's park. we asked berkeley residents what it looks like to them. it's so big and so aggressive. >> i mean, essentially what's been put up here is a border wall. >> there are lights and cameras on the side, security on every corner, plus this razor wire on

the west side of the structure. the university says it's a security measure. >> they they definitely wanted to quell any, you know, potential resistance. >> lisa teague used to be unhoused and lived in the park for years. the historic park was home to many like her. >> it is such a pivotal place in the history of berkeley, in the history of student resistance. in the history of antiwar movements. >> the university claims the encampment led to an increase in crime. protesters have constantly pushed back against building on the park. police made several arrests during the day. the containers went up. you see berkeley not available for an on camera interview today, but they did tell me the reason why they put the wiring up around the park is because of the building next to it. they don't want anyone to go from the roof of that building onto the container and then into the park. the symbolism of this, of having this in berkeley is kind of astounding, but what does it

enclosing and what is it keeping out, i think is the issue. harvey smith is one of the leaders of a group challenging the university's ability to build a people's park, he says new housing should have been built elsewhere. >> it would have been completed by now, or nearly completed if they would have picked one of those sites. uh. what they've done is totally irrational. >> al smith and his group are looking into whether the school is legally allowed to put up razor wire. uc berkeley, meanwhile, cannot begin construction until a decision is made by the state supreme court. they've said they're confident the court will rule in their favor in berkeley, ryan curry abc seven news at los angeles to the list of california cities now searching for its next police chief, michael moore announced today he'll retire from the los angeles police department at the end of february. >> moore has been chief of lapd since 2018 and a member of the department for more than 40 years. los angeles joins oakland and san jose in the hunt for a new chief. demolition of a los

altos strip mall that caught fire on christmas morning is delayed indefinitely. there's been no reason given or timeline for how long the delay will be taking down the parts at risk of collapse means fire investigators can finally get inside to figure out exactly how it started. it also means part of el camino real near san antonio road will be able to reopen. that's expected to happen after the demolition work is complete. >> it's been exactly a week since a door plug fell out of an alaska airlines jet mid-flight. the plane, a boeing 737 max nine, took off from portland international airport in oregon last friday, and less than 20 minutes later, it was back on the ground with a hole in the side of the fuselage. this is new video from inside flight 1282, last week. you can look right out through that hole in the plane. the detached door plug was later found in someone's backyard and tonight it's arrived at the now ssb in washington, dc. here's a picture of it all boxed up. the ntsb is

investigating the accident. meanwhile, the faa plans to audit boeing production and manufacturing just yesterday, the faa announced an investigation to determine if boeing failed to ensure its planes comply with the approved design. boeing 737 max nine planes will remain grounded for the foreseeable future. the only two us carriers that use max nine planes united and alaska. earlier today, we spoke live with katie nastro, a travel expert, to discuss what happens after the plane is cleared to fly. >> if you are scheduled to fly on this specific specific boeing max nine and don't really feel comfortable, even if it does get the okay to fly again, you can actually have to call alaska and have them change. rebook you on a new flight on a different type of aircraft, or get a refund back to your credit card. >> flightaware says today is the highest number of flight cancellations in six months. more than 2200 flights in and out or within the u.s. have been

canceled today. it's partly because of the grounding of the 737 max nine planes, but also because of severe weather. chicago's o'hare and midway airports were the most affected. this weekend's planned closure of interstate six, 80, in pleasanton has been canceled due to the rain. >> that level two storm sandy has been telling us about. caltrans needs to repair deteriorating pavement on the highway. the closure will be rescheduled for sometime in february. we'll keep you updated as soon as we get a new date. king tides made a return to the bay area this week. the exceptionally high tides are also expected next month, and experts are using this as an opportunity to study the effect they could have. perhaps for years to come. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has more on what we're seeing this week, and could see long terme. >> it's captivating. video a tide so high that it's creeping onto the walkways of san francisco's embarcadero. the sights are all thanks to king tides. there are about 1 to 2ft higher than your average high tide, and there happening across

california right now, experts at the california king tides project say that so far, the king tide seen on thursday and friday have been moderate, but they're giving a glimpse of sea level rise. a larger problem that can be traced back to burning fossil fuels. jeremy smith is a coastal engineer with the california coastal commission. he says that the first part in determining how to deal with climate change is working to understand how it impacts communities where flooding might occur and where how it's going to impact our sort of infrastructure systems. smith says. sea level rise could impact those infrastructure systems and in turn, impact communities that aren't even by the water. >> heavy rainfalls that rain needs to get to the low spot. and so when that rain is draining on our streets and through our storm drains, a lot of a lot of times those storm drains outfall into the bay or into the ocean. and so if you have a higher sea level, that can sort of slow down, how fast the storm drains can carry that water. >> now experts are using the king tides to help better determine sea level rise. smith says pictures sent to the

california king tides project by the public are being used to help government officials and climate change experts do that. >> we're able to sort of use these photos and we can see how high the water was at a certain time, and we can use that to sort of improve our models of flooding and that can be really useful for trying to figure out how climate change is going to impact our communities. >> the california king tides project is so far received around 200 photo submissions from thursday and friday's king tides, with the next king tide event expected february 9th. they're hoping for people to take and submit even more, keep a good distance, especially when there's waves involved. >> you want to be make sure that you're sufficiently far back that can even help with photos sometimes, right? like you want to get a good a good range of stuff in those photos. >> if you have photos to submit, you can do that at the coastal commission website. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> coming up next, the weight loss journey for one chunky chihuahua sox went from 30 pounds down

our economy, our democracy, our planet. this is why we fight. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. day of the new year when researchers say 80% of people who made new year's resolutions likely give up on them, experts say the major reason why people

give up so quickly is that the goals they hope to achieve were over ambitious. this is why i deliberately i'm not quitting until tomorrow. that's good. you exceeded everyone. >> weight loss is one of the most popular. of course, new year's resolutions. >> it is abc7 news anchor diane lim found a tiny dog in vallejo providing inspiration with a success story. >> when vallejo resident amanda tal met then seven year old chihuahua, mixed socks, it was love at first sight. >> i think so, yeah, she's pretty easy to love, but little did amanda know, her precious pooch hadn't always been over here. >> a ball of energy. >> when i saw her pictures after i got her, i was really stunned when she arrived at muttville, a senior dog rescue in san francisco this girl is in the running for the most obese dog we've had here maybe ever. >> fox was more accustomed to being carted around and it was hard for her to get up. even given the name sweet tomato. weighing in at a robust 30 pounds, she was a, we call him

potatoes. >> when they were little, chunky , her senior owner, who fed the dog a steady diet of bacon and eggs, had fallen ill and could no longer take care of a pet. >> so began sweet tomatoes, weight loss journey. combination of regular exercise and some tlc . thanks sweet girl and a dedicated foster to keep her on track. >> oh my gosh god. >> in about three months sweet tomato dropped 10 pounds. a whopping third of her body weight. >> now you know the world is her oyster. >> by the time amanda adopted her a few months later, the stroller was long gone. her chihuahua mix had shrunk to a cherry tomato and was renamed socks. >> now she she can run and jump. jump. >> while things were challenging for this former heavyweight, she wouldn't eat. by day four. she was getting used to her new lifestyle and diet. a home, cooked all their food and is now a svelte 10 pounds. her perfect

weight. >> her life has been given back. yeah. >> so while many of us are having a hard time sticking to our new year's resolutions, take a moment to think about little socks. >> i think what she provides us is inspiration. when you want to quit. >> cheers to never giving up. >> i hope for us that we have a long life together in vallejo. >> diane lim abc seven news. the socks shrunk. >> oh that's good. >> no drier. i suppose. if socks can do it, we can all do it. that's the message. you know. >> all right. well, it is going to be a stormy saturday. sandhya has the timing for the rain and the wind and everything else. the weather

the gap in places and had a voice for those who are voiceless. the artist says the mural is titled three kings to showcase three different dimensions of doctor king. >> what a great tribute. yeah. all right, let's go back and talk about this level two storm coming in. that's right. and it's a long weekend to sandia. yeah absolutely. >> so the entire weekend is not a washout but it's tomorrow that that level two dan and ama will impact the bay area. it will bring heavy rain and snow to the sierra. winter storm warning starts at 10:00 tonight. it is going to run until sunday morning, so tomorrow is not a good day to travel. it'll be hazardous with heavy snow and rain. gusty winds sunday a chance of a few morning showers and then gusty in the afternoon. martin luther king junior day is partly cloudy. that level two storm will bring us downpours at times tomorrow, with the gusty winds, flooding on the roadways and the creeks. as you take a look at the projected rainfall, you'll notice up around the north coast, they're looking at five six inches of rain for us on live doppler seven. a couple of showers around ukiah right

now. those spotty showers tonight leads to more widespread rain tomorrow morning. it will be heavy at times through the afternoon and the evening hours tomorrow afternoon. you're looking at highs that will be in the 50s. a good time to be inside. a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. it's wet and gusty for your saturday with that level two on sunday. chilly start a few clouds around after some early morning showers. uh- martin luther king junior day is dry. it will be cold and some frost will show up. and then as we head towards two day, a late night chance of some showers with a level one on wednesday. it will be rain and breezy conditions and then milder weather. thursday and friday. i will say this much. some models are hinting at upper 60s models. really by the end of the workweek. yeah. ama and dan it's been doing, you know that really really really warm. and as we get closer kind of backs off. so it's not yet here. >> yeah. >> it's 60s i could buy maybe we'll get into the upper 60s, but certainly a ridge will build in. okay. thanks, andy.

>> sandy is not buying it. i feel like larry has something to say about that. >> i have actually some weather to report in the sportscast. really? okay. can evaluate. see how i do. okay, sure. go ahead. maybe. well, not yet, but. be patient. it's not been a fun stretch for steve kerr and the warriors. but a moment to remember tonight as the bulls in chicago announced their ring of honor. now could the dubs get a dub in the windy city? that's next in sports plus, here's your accuweather fore discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular

this election is a choice between results or just rhetoric. californians deserve a senator who is going to deliver for them every day and not just talk a good game. adam schiff. he held a dangerous president accountable. he also helped lower drug costs, bring good jobs back home, and build affordable housing. now he's running for the senate. our economy, our democracy, our planet. this is why we fight. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

warriors have begun a four game road trip. first stop chicago, where steve kerr was, of course, a member of those great bulls teams. he saw the jordan statue there and trace jackson davis with the dunk. draymond kind of a devious grin. it looks like he's going to be back soon steph . two of nine shooting early. but the warriors were still up seven at that point. and here's where things go terribly wrong demar derozan gets the soft bounce. he had 16 at the half. bulls on a huge run to end the half i mean no defense at all. somebody got to guard coby white. no no he's open from 29. he had 21 at the half. warriors allowed 75 points at the half. ridiculous so klay thompson taking matters into his own hands came out on fire in the third quarter. and we have an andrew wiggins sighting. everybody ready. here he is taking it strong right now. warriors are up 194. late in the

third. complete highlights at 11. hey the giants have signed a free agent. now before you get too excited don't they reportedly signed pitcher jordan hicks to a four year, $44 million deal. look at the gun here. 104 miles an hour. his stuff is electric. but he fits the giants m.o. he's already had one tommy john surgery missed most of another season with arm trouble. his numbers overall aren't great. he's been a reliever in the past, but wants to start. and the giants are going to let him try. we'll see what happens. adam peters has been a key member of the 40 niners front office, behind the scenes. that is about to change, the 44 year old peters taking on a much higher profile role to be the new general manager of the washington commanders. that team is a total disaster rebuild, peters has been the nine with the niners since 2017, serving as assistant gm for the past three years. the associated press all pro teams were announced today. christian mccaffrey, we're working on his helmet, not his head. uh- fred

warner. they were two of the three unanimous selections. the other was dolphins wide receiver tyreek hill. other niners who made the team three others trent williams, kyle juszczyk, george kittle. there's a bunch of these all pro teams or pro bowl teams, but unanimous is unanimous. and the niners have the weekend off. three seasons ago, kalen deboer was head coach at fresno state. he was making game plans trying to stop san jose state and unlv. well, after a great two year run at washington that included a national championship game appearance, the 49 year old deboer is headed to alabama to replace the retired nick saban, who just stepped down yesterday. so they moved really fast. but now he's going to have to game plan against georgia and tennessee. that's going to be a little bit more challenging. what a meteoric rise for a coach. really paid his dues and started out as a head coach in na i, a small college football years ago. all right. now let's get to the weather. the massive snowstorm came barreling down on the east coast has prompted the buffalo bills to put out an urgent call for help. they're offering $20 an hour for those

who want to join the bills. snow brigade to shovel out the stadium. they're expecting 1 to 2ft of snow over the weekend. that's insane. the bills host the steelers in a playoff game on sunday. weather. it may be a huge factor, as in the dolphins and chiefs game, where it could be with the wind chill minus. 30 degrees minus 30. >> it hurts to get hill. >> did i do that okay? yes you did perfect, larry. >> okay. >> all right. >> i think you have a future in weather. oh no, he doesn't have a future in what he's doing. that's right. that's a good one. good >> i love you, larry. >> i'm just. it doesn't sound us. is that. is that how you express your love? is that how you do it? self love? yes yes yes yes. with it for junior meteorologist wannabe jm wannabe junior meteorologist, a little badge. i'm a junior meteorologist patch like a girl scout or a cub scout. >> yeah, i could wear it on the

other lapel. >> thank you. larry, 30 degrees below zero. >> yeah. >> that is brutal. >> yeah. >> all right, coming up tonight on abc seven at eight. it is shark tank followed by 2020 at nine. then do not miss abc seven news at 11. remember abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app. so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> all right, finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. as we reported this week, a very popular tiktok foodie made a much hyped appearance in the bay area. it was a nice boost for elise williams restaurant the luxe box in west oakland. he really loved the food and the service so much, so he left a $2,500 tip and more importantly for the business. a great review . what did not get a good review from keith lee is his sense of safety. he cut short his trip because, as he posted, he doesn't believe the bay area is a place for tourists at the moment. keith lee should probably stick to food. is crime an issue here? of course, but to

suggest that it's so much of a problem that tourists aren't safe and to leave early is absurd. what really matters is that with 15 million followers, he can do real damage with posts like that. by perpetuating a narrative that is inaccurate and unfair, it was great that he came, and we hope he comes back to review restaurants, not our quality of life. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. all right. >> that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandyha patel. larry biel, all of us. we appreciate your time. have a great evening. your time. have a great evening. we'll see you again at 11. from the state that's already helped millions of people like you get and pay for health insurance. with financial health to lower the cost of health coverage,
