can see this debris. a single engine plane lose altitude as it flew off along the coast. police say they arrested a 50 year old miami man for stealing the plane , but have not revealed how he gained access to it. stolen from a palo alto airport flown 27 miles before it landed on poplar beach. an aviation expert told abc seven news. the man likely had experience as a pilot, taking a story off is probably more difficult than landing a citabria, and in fact, the takeoff for satori is considerably more difficult than most small airplanes. citabria planes don't require a key to start, so stealing it may not have been hard to do. today the start of the lunar new year. as you can hear, that means fireworks, food, and good fortune. this is what things look like in san francisco's chinatown around midnight. it is the year of the dragon and preparations have been underway

>> we are all here for you. please don't do dumb stuff. >> a message that was reassuring for this 40 niner faithful who remembers vividly the last super bowl win. >> the last one that was 30 years ago. i was maybe 20, 21 years old. so i want to see another super bowl. >> san francisco's department of emergency management is increasing staffing to be ready for a surge in emergency calls. >> as a super bowl night. it's going to be busier. 9-1-1 is for life safety is one of those 911 dispatchers. >> is kathy osorio. after 19 years in the emergency department, she unintentionally had this weekend off and you guessed it, she is headed to vegas. definitely planning to come back for the parade. i will be here on speaking about the parade, we chatted with two san francisco 40 niners greats that know exactly what it feels like to win a super bowl. >> so this is super bowl 24. he's got super bowl 23 on and they're back to back rings. we're probably one of the what 1

6:18 am
look how quickly on the next couple of hours you drop off into the mid 40s around the bay shores. a fremont and oakland low 60s by 2:00 and the upper 50s by 5:00, and not quite as chilly by 7:00. but if you're around half moon bay, san francisco, mid 50s, and that should hold you through the 5:00 hour. so really nice weather. and the reason why is high pressure is in control. keeping the storm track well up into british columbia. a break that we need. and as we go through the next several days, some subtle changes here and there and a live look outside for coit tower, they're lit up there at niners colors 48, in san francisco. it is 44 for you in oakland with 42. hayward in san jose, san mateo low 40s, as well as half moon bay and from mount tam, that sun coming up a little bit after seven, notice the sunsets getting a little bit later. so we're slowly getting towards spring 35, santa rosa, 36, in petaluma with 37. concord
6:19 am
livermore 44, napa 47 by the delta and a look outside from our sutro tower camera. sunny and milder today. great afternoon and then into your sunday. maybe a few more high clouds. dry dry and mild. and then as we get into later next week, maybe as early as thursday, that wet pattern returns. it is looking like unfortunately, several inches of rain again, but still the call is way too early as we go through the next several days, it's wednesday. we start to look at some of the models bringing in some wet weather and thursday could have a level one system and we add ten days together here into next tuesday, and we're looking at over two inches of rain in santa rosa, over an inch and a half san francisco an inch, and a third in san jose. but back to today. beautiful for lunar new year celebrations with temperatures on the chilly side. 9:00 just getting out of the 40s and then by late in the day in the upper 50s. so nice afternoon for the rest of us. how about a
6:20 am
few degrees warmer from san jose and santa rosa? low 60s 60 in fremont and overnight tonight dropping back off into the 30s. so another chilly evening. the accuweather seven day forecast. morning fog in some spots tomorrow. and then for your monday. looking at some cloudier conditions. mix of clouds and sun on tuesday. valentine day looking quite mild, bringing the rain back by the end of next week. we'll be
6:21 am
two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.
6:22 am
and good morning to you on this saturday. coming up here on gma. harrowing images on a highway in florida. just look at that a private jet crashing onto i-75, killing two. an investigation is now underway. plus fierce response from the white house after this week's special council report on the president's handling of classified documents and allegations of memory lapses. more on that and the latest from
6:23 am
the campaign trail and excitement building for super bowl sunday. the 40 niners and the chiefs. our predictions for the big game in las vegas and everything you can expect on and off the field tomorrow. we just can't wait for that. that is all coming up right here on gma. >> lawmakers and environmental groups gathered in east palo alto to push for money to combat flooding and sea level rise. they unveiled the plan at cooley landing as the king tide was rising alongside the park. san mateo county assembly member diane pappin is coauthoring a bond measure for the november ballot. backers want to make up for hundreds of millions of dollars in sea level adaption funds being cut from the proposed state budget to solano county. now there are new concerns being raised about the plan to build a new city. the issue is the security of nearby travis air force base, and this morning we want to take a closer look at what congressional leaders say are key problems with california forevers newly released ballot initiative. we've heard a lot about this new
6:24 am
proposed city in solano county. it'll be smaller than vacaville and smaller than vallejo. >> everywhere there is actually a mix of uses we have enough water. >> this was all part of california forever's pitch to voters. last month, ceo jan sramek revealed a ballot initiative detailing what it would all look like, including his vision and goals. this being a big one, and our first goal was to make sure that it would be a great neighbor to travis. >> we knew that we had to protect the base. >> congressman john garamendi is raising new concerns. that's not happening. >> if this city is ever built as proposed in the initiative, travis air force base will be in deep existential trouble following a meeting with high ranking u.s. air force officials, garamendi says travis air force base is concerned because the coordinates for this new city are directly beneath flight zones if built, he says, critical training for combat missions, also known as sorties, would be impossible to do. right now, 120,000 times a year on average. travis air force base
6:25 am
conducts night vision sorties as though they were operating in a war zone, having to land on a contested air base that would be impossible if there's a city, because of the ambient light from the city. >> commercial community development released these maps last month showing the security buffer around the base, seen here in light green, he says it's nearly doubled, illustrated with the orange on this map. we are also locating the community 100% outside of the noise contours and outside of the accident potential zones. >> but this map obtained by the i-team shows a different perspective of the proposed new city is pushing into the military space designated for radar patterns and airspace. seen here colored in turquoise and green, the map also shows two red dots labeled museum and creed, where sources say those critical training operations take place. those locations are bordering the city's blueprint. garamendi says that would interfere with practice for
6:26 am
combat missions. also known in the military as daytime sorties. >> their daytime sorties, practice sorties would be directly over a good portion of that city where they fly at a high altitude and descend very, very rapidly to 503, make a very tight turn onto a very short runway. they will not be able to do that if that city has ever built. >> this wasn't a problem until now, in part because the land that borders the base has always been zoned for agricultural use, so the only witnesses to these practices are mostly cows, sheep, and endless miles of grazing land. we reached out to california forever about these concerns and received the following statement saying california forever's top priority has always been protecting and supporting travis air force base. that's why we carefully chose a location for the new community that fully complies with all regulations that address the impact of air flight operations on land use around the base. the question is, will the plans change now?
6:27 am
sramek announced last month they hope to permit solar farms in the area surrounding the base. at least seven other military bases across the country have gone solar, but garamendi says solar panels in that immediate area would pose a reflection hazard to pilots landing at the base. coming up in our next half hour on abc seven mornings, a refresh for a popular tourist space. what's planned for powell street in san francisco and the financial controversy that comes with it. then the abc seven is live in las vegas. one day ahead of the big matchup between the niners and the chiefs.

i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are.
6:30 am
yes, it certainly is. dropping back off into the 30s and some of our inland valleys for sure. and that's why we have that frost advisory for the eastern hills of the santa clara region. but look at that. 44 in santa cruz. beautiful day, a little shy of 60 today. 48 san francisco. it is in the low 40s from san mateo, half moon bay, 42 san jose, and look for mount tam, that sun coming up at 705. it is 35 with some fog up in santa rosa 36 petaluma 37. concord, livermore and 47 by the delta. still though, it was much
6:31 am
colder friday morning, so we have that going for us. and also a lot of sunshine. and this will lift at 9:00 that frost advisory. but then we'll put it back into effect tonight, into your sunday morning and last day of our coastal flood advisory until 1:00. those higher than normal tides right inside the bay shore. there for some possible flooding. next couple of hours. how about some upper 50s by noontime time? and that leaves us room for some lower 60s by 330 4:00. so we'll detail your super bowl sunday in just a few minutes. stephanie. >> thank you lisa. and speaking of, we are just a little over 24 hours away from the super bowl. the 40 niners will face the kansas city chiefs, a rematch of the super bowl in 2019. and we're already feeling the excitement and energy here in the bay area. and in las vegas, hosting a super bowl is a first for sin city, but it's not the big game that's made vegas the well-known city it already is. some might say much of its status is owed to the neon and
6:32 am
led signs that are instantly recognizable. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has been in las vegas all week and has more on who's behind some of the most classic and innovative signs throughout the city. he's live there now, in front of one of the most iconic ones. good morning zach. >> good morning to you stephanie. and that welcome to fabulous las vegas sign is lit purple for the super bowl along with so many other signs and lights here in the city. but did you ever think about the people who are responsible for creating and maintaining those signs? well, it is an incredible team and i got to meet them yesterday and got to create some of that magic with them, seeing them do it firsthand and incredible experience. why don't you take a look for yourself? well come to fabulous las vegas. it's one of the most iconic signs in the world. but like anything, sometimes it needs a little maintenance on this particular day, the neon m in the word welcome needed to be replaced so it was yours truly to the rescue. and i'm scared to death. got my hard hat on the fog here on. so i'm secure in this. um.
6:33 am
doesn't mean i'm any less nervous. and if you pan the camera over there, there's a lot of people waiting to take a picture, and we're kind of being an obstruction at the moment. but this is all in the name of journalism and telling a very fun, important story. this super bowl week service journeyman kenny west sent me up in the cherry picker, and once i was up, i got straight to work before any of this was able to happen, though, that neon m had to be created. the 103 years, that kind of magic has been created by the incredible team at yesco custom electric signs. think of almost any neon or led sign in the city of las vegas, and yesco is likely behind it. constructing and maintaining the visual icons that make vegas, vegas. >> my grandfather was here in the late 20s and early 30s, designing, building and installing signs before vegas was really more than just a train stop. >> yes, those facilities are not open to the public, but this super bowl week, they gave abc seven cameras a rare look inside, even creating a special
6:34 am
sign to welcome us. abc seven in the house from the older neon lights and signs seen throughout places like downtown las vegas to the led lights at dazzle people on the strip. yes, koh's work is behind most all of them. even at allegiant stadium, home of super bowl 58. >> you know, we're keeping those lights lit anyway. but you can imagine the pressure for us is the game has gotten closer and everyone's coming to town. uh, of course we need to perform and be there for them because the stadium needs to look perfect. the led lighting, like allegiance, is a newer standard. >> there's still a demand in loving interest in classic neon lights, but fewer people and companies are able to create them. if there's anywhere it can be found, though, it's here at yesco. neon journeyman oscar gonzalez has been bending neon glass for more than 30 years. we found him making that letter m that i was tasked to install at the welcome to fabulous las vegas sign over a stencil. he marks the glass right where he wants to bend it. then he takes it to the fire. >> so now what i had to do, i
6:35 am
had to heat the glass to get the poem where i can bend it. >> after showing me how it's done, i then get a turn. we have our mark here. that mark is in place and this is the area i have to bend. here we go. how do i do it? bend after the glass is made into that m. it's now ready to head to the pumping system to fill it with neon gas and other elements. yeah, and after a test with this device, it's finally ready for the installation that yesco bravely put me in charge of a nerve wracking but unforgettable assignment that was the most incredible moment. as a vegas native, i think i've ever spent in the city. never in my life did i think i'd be that high up. that close to the welcome to the fabulous las vegas sign. i am just so grateful and appreciative of this man for helping me get up there. tell me what to do. hopefully i did it right. and uh, yes, go for giving us this tour. all of us. this look at how they make this magic happen. so incredible. and yeah, i'm gonna get on harness now. it looks like i might have just done something right. that m is
6:36 am
still hanging up on the sign for all the people coming here to take their pictures. this super bowl weekend. so it was just such an exciting experience. obviously, i didn't get to take the m home with me because it's still there, but i did get to take this. this part of the sign that they made specially for abc seven news. so we're so grateful to them for that and for that tour that we all got to see now, tomorrow we've got a fun story for you. we've got a couple with some bay area roots that are going to renew their vows forty-niners style. so it's going to be a really interesting one. we're going to bring to you tomorrow. right now, live in las vegas, zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> well, zach, we look forward to this. and i got to say, i am so impressed. >> i first want to ask, are you scared of heights? >> i didn't think i was until i had to get up on that thing. it might have been because of all the people watching too. that added a whole other element of pressure. i thought they weren't going to be too happy about us being there, obstructing their view for the pictures. some of them, i don't think, were we actually interrupted a wedding too, but but they still went through with their wedding and
6:37 am
