of 2026. >> they will also have to pay $83 million for four years of noncompliance, and they must pay $20 million in fines for hundreds of other violations. mrc has to reduce emissions by 80% and they have to constantly monitor air pollution instead of testing every quarter. >> this rule was passed five years ago. all we were asking is the facilities to comply. they chose to sue us instead. uh, today they have agreed to drop that suit and comply with the rule as written. >> the settlement is drawing different reactions from the refineries. pbf energy says they are happy to work with the air district on their monitoring system, while chevron said in a statement, we are committed to working with agencies like the baaqmd on efforts to improve air quality. however, we remain concerned that the baaqmd rulemaking process is fundamentally broken. the air district says they pushed for penalties to make sure the companies, especially chevron, comply. >> the residents in richmond,

suffer the longer it takes to comply with the rule. we would rather have each facility comply now because there's health benefits, but the ongoing health impacts mean that we're going to have very high penalties, the air district says these are the strictest regulations in the country. >> they say they will continue to monitor the refineries to make sure they reduce their emissions. ryan curry, abc seven news. all right. >> let's take you outside for a live look at conditions. right now. we are once again getting ready for rain. a good bit of it seems for all the details on the timing, let's go to abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel. sandhya yeah. >> dan it's going to all start tomorrow. so for valentine's. so let's take a look at live doppler seven. right now we do have a lot of clouds overhead in advance of this system. i'm going to widen the picture here because this light level one storm is moving in early tomorrow morning. and it will spread rain across the region. i'll give you a quick look at the timeline. so early tomorrow morning around 8:00 9:00, some showers begin to move into the

experienced technical issues, much like the early days of the pandemic, the storm was also tough on businesses. >> well, valentine's day is a good business, and, you know, it kind of hurts that people aren't coming in today. and, you know, we got to start to get everything ready for tomorrow, though. so it would be nice if the snow would stop soon. >> new york city received only about three inches of snow, but parts of pennsylvania and connecticut got more than a foot out. >> all right, coming up, an emotional day in santa clara as the 40 niners cleaned out their. lockers and wrapped up the season. how players and coaches plan to channel their super bowl loss and disappointment into motivation. plus how much longer could the a's play in oakland? >> we'll tell you about the discussion expected later this politicians...

>> football isn't the only thing in life. um, at the end of the day, we are blessed to be doing what we're doing and the blessing of sport is that there's always next year. >> the organization has failed to achieve their ultimate goal, but the mindset has not changed. you'll find a way to, you know, channel it, use it, or, you know, just be able to flush it and be able to move on and, you know, attack the next stage. >> the thing that i, um, that gives me hope is knowing the how much it means to me, how much it means to this organization, how much it means to kyle and the players and john and like the things that make up a championship team. i know we have those things sucks. >> but i mean, that's the game that we play. >> um, and you got to find find a way to sort of have it fuel you and, and have that roll into next year, something that will come with time. >> but the off season starts now at levi's stadium. dustin dawsey , abc seven news. >> all right. from football to baseball, it looks like the oakland athletics may play at the coliseum beyond the upcoming baseball season, the san

pandemic estimates to convert this space totaled about $25 million. in addition to that, you should budget for about ten years of operating expenses. >> it can be up to $1 million a year to keep the giant pandas here, but to peterson, it's a price that would pay dividends, that there's an instant joy between the human and the giant panda. >> in san francisco, diane lim, abc seven news. >> i want to hold a baby panda, right? >> those people that were holding her were so lucky. so sweet. well, hopefully we'll get to see them. dan, let's hope i don't know if they'll let us hold them. >> i know that's true, but let's hope we get them. >> that would be. that would be great. all right. let's talk about the weather once again. >> yeah. meteorologist cindy patel is back with details on a wet rest of the week. sandy. >> yeah, we're going to have a short break in between, but pretty much hang on to the umbrellas most of the week. dan and karina, i want to show you a gorgeous views. soak up this view. enjoy the pre sunset sky from santa cruz camera. is that lovely or what. big changes are

plans, you might want to ask if you can go inside or take your rain gear with you or raincoat level one storm for tomorrow. it's light rain, briefly heavy at times, slippery roads and breezy in spots. the biggest impact will be for the afternoon evening commute, so tomorrow morning at 2 a.m, the showers are still to our north at 8:00. north bay is starting to see some of this wet weather moving in by 10 a.m. it's already crossing san francisco, parts of the peninsula and the east bay and as we head into 11 a.m, you will notice some more rain. it's going to be light to moderate in intensity. the rainfall will pick up briefly as the front comes in tomorrow afternoon and evening, and then behind it, we get a short breather before we have more wet weather moving in for your saturday. you will notice in the morning it comes in, gets heavier with some wind. saturday afternoon. but let me tell you this much it's not expected to be a repeat of those strong storms that came in earlier this month. here is the sunday night storm going into monday. it will bring sierra snow and certainly will bring us a good soaking. this looks to

continue into tuesday, so rainfall projections for the wednesday system. we're really looking at anywhere from a half an inch to just over an inch. that's for tomorrow. and the winds will certainly pick up. so keep that in mind, especially if you have things that need to be tied down. gusts up to 3033 miles an hour going into the evening. but it's not a widespread wind event, just limited to the coast and parts of the hills. a winter storm warning 4 a.m. tomorrow until 4 p.m. thursday. heavy snow up to two feet above 6000ft. snow level will lower now between 5 and 6000, half a foot to a foot. but with those gusty winds, travel may be difficult to impossible. so keep that in mind and if you are traveling statewide through tuesday, we are expecting a decent amount of rain. this is one computer model that's picking up 1 to 3in up there. your morning temperatures tomorrow in the 40s with all the cloud cover tomorrow afternoon. we are looking at highs in the 50s and 60s. and as we look at the accuweather seven day forecast, it's a one for valentine's day. short break
