it is lighter. the steady rain from berkeley to oakland, piedmont and as we look further inland and out towards the antioch area, pittsburg, you can see we are seeing some moderate rain right now from the south bay, from san jose to santa cruz. also, seeing that rain as we get you in tighter here, you will notice where the rain is falling around west hedding street park. more avenue uh- wider picture showing you that low pressure system is off the coastline and the steady stream of moisture is coming in right now. those temperatures are in the 40s and the 50s, as you would expect. so here is the forecast for saturday at levi's stadium at kickoff, when the niners take on the packers 57 degrees, wet and breezy for fourth quarter, it's going to be a soggy night. take your poncho with you. mid-fifties. dress in layers. live view from santa cruz camera. the winds are up tonight. wet and breezy to gusty, stronger storms sunday into monday will bring downpours at times with the possibility of

thunder and possible damage from the storms as the series goes on. we're talking about minor, low lying flooding on roadways, streams and creeks, and the possibility of trees going down and a few outages. so excessive rain potential tomorrow is going to be confined to the north bay. that excessive rain potential increases and expands sunday and monday to include pretty much most of the bay area. what does this mean? well this means a flood watch is going up tomorrow for solano county. it runs until monday morning for lake county and mendocino county. it starts tomorrow. and the reason for this is rapid rises will occur on area streams and creeks. and that means there is potential for some flooding and shallow landslides. level one through tonight. heavy rain at times. gusty chance of thunder. watch out for ponding on the roadways as thatrillionainfall intensity dies. 8:00 you're going to see some downpours, maybe some thunder. certainly steady rain still and briefly heavy. 10 p.m. then you get a little breather. so tomorrow morning you see scattered showers. some areas

are not really looking at rain. and then here comes that next round. so 3:00 in the afternoon increase swease. there's your clock at 5 p.m. for levi's stadium. you will notice it's pretty much widespread rain. rain intensifies saturday night, then it turns more showery. sunday the stronger storm comes in sunday night going into monday. so through sunday morning you're looking at anywhere from 4900. in san jose to over two inches of rain in the santa cruz mountains. now you add the stronger storm and places like bend lomond. looking at almost five inches of rain. many areas will be in that inch and a half to 3.5in. isolated totals up to eight inches around the russian river. winter storm warning tonight through tuesday, looking at heavy wet snow 6000 to 7000ft. heaviest snow above 7001 to 3ft. there morning temperatures 40s 50s. tomorrow afternoon you're looking at 50s and 60s. it is going to be a wet one and a breezy one. level two for tomorrow. two for sunday. monday chance of thunder and

has our story, which was produced with the help of our partners at the local media associations covering climate collaborative 30 miles of wall stretching into the horizon, dividing the united states from mexico. >> but now there is growing evidence that newly constructed sections are also dividing a critical habitat, disrupting natural migrations both of animals that eventually manage to work their way through the fence, and those too large to cross at all. >> the border wall is creating a massive continental scale

environmental experiment that we're all along for the ride with, and it's going to affect the evolutionary history of these species. >> emily burns is a researcher with the nonprofit sky island alliance. over the last several years, the group has been placing wildlife cameras along sections of the border wall in arizona to document its impact on any given night. smaller animals like these have alinas can slip through small openings at the base, perhaps followed by a lucky porcupine. but now watch as this black bear, a species endangered in mexico, paces along the length of the wall, searching for an opening while even an agile mountain lion is blocked as well. >> and they are a species that need a lot of space. mountain lions, especially the males, once they get old enough and leave their mother, they need to establish their own territory and they're just looking for simple things that that everybody looks for shelter, food and mates and water. you know, that's what it's all about. and that extended range

can be critical for long terme survival. >> it's a lesson we've certainly learned here in the bay area where urban areas intersect with open space migration pathways that can often extend hundreds of miles. zara mcdonald is with the bay area puma project. her group tracks mountain lions and other animals with wildlife cameras. similar to those being used at the border. she worries about obstacles like freeways that can make it difficult for the animals to roam freely and mate, meaning that subpopulation themselves, you know, are more susceptible to disease is to inbreeding. >> and so genetic disorders. her group lobbies for land bridges or storm drain type tubes that can make crossing dangerous areas safer. finding those solutions there are sections of freeways that lions are being killed on. >> back in arizona, the sky island alliance is working on solutions for the border wall as well. >> it can be a no cost solution of just opening floodgates in the wall to allow storm water to

drain. either way, across the border, those can be used by many animals to cross back and forth. as much as i don't want to live with the wall in our backyard, we are. and so our priority has to be finding creative ways that don't jeopardize national security but make it better for wildlife. protecting a critical animal habitat in a landscape being changed by humans. >> dan ashley abc seven news. >> now, there's a lot happening on this issue. a lawsuit by more than a dozen states is forcing the federal government to improve wildlife corridors at the border. now, here in the bay area, a crossing has been created in the santa cruz mountains, and more are planned jobs, not jail. >> the former judge who created a way for young people to get their lives back on track. my job was to send kids to prison and you thought there must be a better way. and he's made a difference. >> i was just at the wrong place, wrong time. it feels good. it's a great feeling.

reporter leah melendez is here to show us how this program works. >> well, you know, when you get to that point where you say, i've had it, i'm done. right? so a judge in salinas got tired of sending young offenders to prison for murder, assault, gang violence. the list goes on. instead he reached out to the community to do what few imagined would work. and so, giving hope to teens facing incarceration or experiencing hardship has been his mission for the past 23 years. these wide open fields make salinas one of the world's most famous farming communities. but several years ago, salinas also gained an unwanted reputation. salinas was the murder capital for juveniles here in the state of california. >> my job was to send kids to prison, and you thought there must be a better way. >> we can do something. >> all right. and all this we put in we put in a whole new water system. uh, we have three water systems. this is rancho

cielo youth campus, a place known for giving young people a second chance. >> now retired, a judge, john phillips, transformed the land on the hills into a place that could reshape outcomes that was 23 years ago. >> i was just at the wrong place, wrong time. it was. it was. it was at ten at night. i was in my friends house and like the cops just pulled up. >> jesus coronel was 16 at the time. his probation officer suggested taking a different path in life. there's a place called rancho cielo that is based on, like, people like, you know, with your background, it's important to know that they're not forced to be here. in fact, these young people choose to come here. and once they pass those gates, they find some of the things that have been missing in their lives, like hope and opportunity. do you feel that without this program, you would have been lost? >> yeah, because every different, every other high school is the same. >> there is a dress code here. students cannot wear red or blue

clothing and no sports apparel. is allowed. rancho cielo offers students who have been incarcerated or struggling with school a different approach to their education. in addition to the traditional classes, they are put on a vocational track. >> tap it here in the center, going upwards without. yeah, no part as hard as you can. >> automotive and diesel repair is one of those students are also taught how to restore classic cars selling is in monterey county, which is known around the world for its vintage autos. where do these students end up? once they graduate from this program, they get hired from local dealerships, apps, or what we're trying to do is put them in classic car restoration businesses. >> why did you see the difference here? how it thinned out and it got wider. it's because you're not anchoring yourself. >> welding is among the most popular programs here, so is construction. in fact, these

high school students designed and built a tiny modular home completely off the grid, winning first prize against 13 other schools, all of them universities. >> having that that humbleness that we were able to do it. yeah, it feels good. it's a great feeling. >> it's not unusual for graduates of rancho cielo to come back and become mentors. >> i still want to help out, you know, like guide the students because i kind of have the same path as them. when i was younger, the kitchen was where i was able to kind of find my passion and my sense of direction and find my, my place in life. >> it wasn't the do gooders to get all these kids out of jail or out of prison. it was the business community that came in behind me once the business community got involved. >> big name philanthropists in the area got behind the school. rancho cielo began with 94 students and now has more than 200. >> how much does it cost to run this place a year? >> well, when my wife and i were

running it, our operating budget was $75,000 a year, and now our operating budget is 5.2 million. wow. yeah >> some of that money is used to fund activities outside the classroom, like horseback riding, a bike program and fishing. >> having an open space like this is positive. >> students are encouraged to use the outdoors as a way to relieve stress and any emotional pain they may have. and when they leave here, graduates know they now have the necessary life skills to succeed. >> being prepared to go to work to get a job, to show up on time, to take direction in and to operate, communicate and collaborate. be part of a team. >> according to judge phillips, 85% of those who once went through the juvenile justice system and graduate from this program never reoffend. >> the land of opportunity. it's an opportunity for these young people to, to, to grow, you know, so it's been a great run.

>> it certainly has. now the program could also save taxpayers a lot of money. the california division of juvenile justice says it costs more than $271,000 to incarcerate a juvenile. the cost of this program from just $25,000 per student per year. and, you know, i have to say, the business community in that area was looking at this, this problem and said, we're going to lose our workforce. we better do something about it. >> and they did see it's a win win. >> yeah, yeah. hopefully the program can spread. yeah, yeah. very good. adopted by others. thanks, liane. sure. >> a new house in east oakland is opening its doors for local mothers and their children struggling with homelessness. anna's house intends to create a safe community for mothers working to overcome trauma in a nurturing home for their kids. it's funded mostly from community donations, $550,000 was raised in honor of a woman named anna flynn. she was a teen mother who lost her life after

struggling with trauma and housing insecurity. >> the moms who live here will pay a small amount of rent, but we hope to return that to them when they move out so that they can use it as they move on with their lives. so the more we raise from individuals and foundations who contribute, the more we'll be able to give back to the moms as they move on. the group is still fundraising to pay off the mortgage and future operations costs. >> you can donate online through the bay area community services website. >> all right. up next, big shakeup at sports. illustrated magazine and could it be a return to you can pick up the tab even when you forget your wallet.

of this once iconic magazine seen today at issue was a licensing deal between authentic brands group and arena group. the latter missed a payment for the publishing rights, and abg then revoked them. but in a statement, authentic brands said it would continue to deliver fans a premium experience. well, let's be honest, it hasn't been a premium experience for a number of years now. you know those of us of a certain age, you know, we would rush to the mailbox on a wednesday or a thursday because sports illustrated not only had the best photos, but they had the best articles. and it was i mean, everything a sports fan

could want. but now, okay, now we've got the internet and you can get everything instantaneously. who wants to wait 3 or 4 days to get a story when you can get a million of them instantaneously. so karina, i know you love sports. it's i hate seeing these iconic brands just disappear. >> it is sad and other magazine are going that way. unfortunately and people are losing their jobs. so it's really sad. and this one specifically, they've been around for about 70 years. so just think about that. you know, a lot of people did it was like part of a ritual, right. what does sports illustrated have? i got to get the magazine. but it's not like that anymore. it's sad, but, you know, unfortunately it is. and unless you change with the times. right? unless you get the latest, greatest website and videos and all of that, it's not going to work. yeah, i think the time is coming when we won't have magazines. now when you go to the doctor's office, do you even see a magazine rack? i don't see that anymore. not as many on their phones, right? yeah, yeah, it's all right.

well, malls may be appearing to be struggling, but some are making a comeback, and it's all thanks to gen z. apparently gen z enjoys shopping in person as much as shopping online, and 47% would rather shop in person with many saying they'd rather try things on in person. another reason could be the loneliness epidemic. we've talked about before, and malls are a good place for social interaction. for our resident mall expert, we call on sandyha patel yes, sandhya. sandhya, you're single handedly reviving this trend. you know what, kristen? i will tell you this much. my mom, my younger sister and i used to go to the malls years ago and we'd go shopping on black friday, and it was a lot of fun, even if we didn't find anything. now you fast forward to my two daughters, the younger daughter hates the malls. the older daughter and i started that black friday tradition a few years ago. we love the chaos. we love just going and enjoying on black friday. but i enjoy going to the malls as occasionally i don't have the kind of time i did years ago, so i like to try on things, you know, and see how

they fit and whatnot. not everything is like straight off the rack. you put it on and it fits perfectly. but i must say, i see quite a few people in the malls these days. but my husband's always said they're going to be a thing of the past, but it's more convenient to order online then. >> yeah, i'm kind of with your husband on that. >> you're not a mall rat, larry uh- half of that statement is that description is correct. >> but, um, no, i just i mean, there was a time again, there was a time, and now again, it's kind of like sports illustrated. i look, i hope there's a resurgence. i'd love to see more of these stores flourish, but i'm just not sure that that's the way it's going to go. i think the younger generation is finding out like why we enjoyed the malls. >> you go, you meet up with friends, you walk around, you get a pretzel while you shop. so right, get a smoothie, carina. it's great. i like going to the malls now, especially now, because there aren't as many people at the malls. you could get a parking spot and walk around and the stores are pretty empty. but it was, you know,

it's like takes you back to high school. yeah >> i mean, there's nothing like the experience of driving 20 minutes to get a pretzel. um all right, now, those are good pretzels. i know they're very good pretzels. i know it's worth it. >> the smell? yeah. >> cinnabon. all right, there's now a faster way to decide if you want to return those clothes that you bought online. france has introduced changing rooms, and they're in the post office, believe it or not. so you can try on your items right when you get them. they don't fit. you don't have to go anywhere. you just return them right there, put them right back in that yellow box. uh- one changing room was made to even look like a french mailbox. who's in favor of this? i mean, sandy, i know you want to be in the mall all the time. no not all the time. >> okay, let's clarify, larry, i'm 100% in favor of this. >> and i'll tell you why. >> okay? >> i have ordered things, and it just piles up and it piles up in the closet until i can make a trip to the mall to go return the stuff or to the store. so it

just really gets annoying. i'd rather just try it on in the post office if it doesn't work, just send it back. that way i don't have to worry about it. >> do we see this as a trend that's going to catch on in this country? >> no, i don't think you don't know because people get things delivered to their home. >> you try it on at home. and i just print the shipping label and send it back. i don't even go to the post office. yeah, but it says something about how much you know, what the french are buying because there's got to be a lot of clothing purchases for the post office, too. >> yeah. that's true. yeah that's true. >> they dress well. fashionable. yeah. so in san jose there's a soft launch of a new tech influenced food hall today. this food hall allows customers to place online orders and have them delivered by more than 20 different restaurants. there's also room to sit down and eat. development of this ghost kitchen enterprise was very hush hush. it's run by travis kalanick, former ceo of uber. oh, he was hush hush about dropping uber on the city of san francisco as well. yeah, it's located in the historic oddfellows building. a former

grand opening is also being planned. interesting concept. yeah i'm all for a food hall. you get options and i think it's great. it is. i like that you can get a lot of different options in one place, but i've been to ones where the quality is uh- the qc quality control is not quite there. like if you go to their own brick and mortar store, it's not quite the same as the one prepared at the ghost kitchen for them. so we were in colorado over this summer, kristen and we went to one of these food halls, which i wasn't, you know, used to hear all the time. and it was surprising because there were about, i don't know, 25 of us. everyone went to a different location, and then we kind of just tried different foods. some were great, but some were, like you said, i think they had one in columbus, ohio that they opened one. it was kind of like a food hall. if you're a business, say you want to start a restaurant, but you don't have the money for the brick and mortar building and everything that comes with it. this is a

good way to start and get your name out there. and it's these smaller businesses that are seeing success from it, and they're able to do it and show off their great food. >> yeah. it's true. yeah. and i bet some of them have great pretzels too. >> i've got a karina, you and i can go to the mall and go get a let's go get a pretzel. >> i'm gonna get the cinnamon one. that's my favorite. and the cheese like them all? yeah yeah. with lots of butter. larry, you're missing out. i know, larry, i know, i know, he's too healthy for us. >> yeah. >> sorry, s when you have moderate—to—severe eczema, it's okay to show off. with dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch. because you have plenty of reasons to show off your skin. with dupixent, the number one prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, you can stay ahead of your eczema. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your skin from within.

>> so in the exhibition, we do trace where the gowns and clothes were worn, who wore them, and we try to evoke as much as we can with each outfit. >> the exhibit is called fashioning san francisco a century of style, and curator laura camerlengo says it traces the evolution of high fashion in the city from classic to chaotic . >> so it's a great opportunity to trace the history of the city. this dress was designed in fall 1946, and it was one of the first imports from paris after world war two. this was major news in san francisco. there is a full chronicle report, but then we also have examples in this section that show the youthquake of the 1960s short mini dresses, lots of sequins and very much energetic and then i would say by as we move into the 1970s, 80s and 90s, we enter more of a anything goes mentality. >> and to enjoy that liberating feeling for yourself. all you have to do is strike a pose and check out your reflection in an augmented reality mirror that

slips visitors into gowns for a virtual night out. ranji jack is with the social media company snapchat, which created the interactive installation. >> this is something that you know, not most people would be able to try on like. and so we're giving you the opportunity to kind of go back to the 1970s and try on a valentino so, you know, velvety gown and from the shoes to the sash, it's a whirl through the decades and across the virtual dance floor. >> while many of the gowns were donated by matrons of san francisco society curator are hoping the exhibit will both share the wealth and a bit of the fashion magic with visitors from all walks of life. >> i hope they have a great sense of fun. i hope visitors come through and feel that this exhibition is just a great celebration of san francisco. our museums and their collection in an undeniably fashion label. >> san francisco karina nova, abc seven news. >> fashion in san francisco

>> i raced some of the guys and i obviously beat them, um. >> despite addison's energy and enthusiasm, she's been dealing with a devastating disorder. >> addison suffers from a rare sun disorder called epp. basically like a few minutes outside on the wrong day can equal pain. that's equal to a second degree. like burn addison's disorder also led to stage five liver failure. >> the nonprofit shadow jumpers helps families who are faced with rare sun disorders. they connected with the kypreos family as addison was going through liver treatments. and what we found was she uh- her bedroom where she was relaxing in, got hit with sun all day. >> so what we did is we renovated her basement to also act as a makeshift bedroom for her. but while we were doing that, we learned she was maybe the biggest sharks fan we've ever met. so shadow jumpers got in touch with the sharks foundation, who planned a fun filled two day event for addison. >> starting friday. >> and we hear that there are young adults or youth out there dealing with chronic or critical illnesses, but they're big sharks fans and hockey brings them joy. we always want to step

in and bridge that gap, not only does addison get to skate with the sharks, she got a custom hockey stick cut for her locker room tour and gets to see her first nhl game just some of the excitement on her packed itinerary. >> one of the biggest things she's taking away from the thrilling two day experience is gratitude. >> thank you and i appreciate everything in san jose. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> well, she's really good on her skates and has a really nice little wrist shot there. um, i hope she gets better. that's it for abc seven news and for abc seven news at five is coming up next. wells fargo gives you an extra day grace period to avoid the overdraft fee. what if everything came with a grace period? like accidentally parking where you shouldn't...
