dan ashley and i'm ama daetz. >> we have live team coverage on this storm's impact here in the bay area and in the sierra. >> but let's begin with the expert abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel, tracking where the worst is right now. sandhya >> absolutely. and dan and amna, let's take a look at live doppler seven because it's an active picture up and down the state of california. numerous lightning strikes not just here locally but we've had thunderstorms in northern california and in the sierra. thunder snow uh- reported tornado in madera county. it was initially reported as a funnel cloud north of madera, but it has been confirmed that it was a tornado. as you take a look at live doppler seven, right now, we are seeing more thunderstorms developing. first, we're going to show you the view from the south bay where they have been getting some heavy rain as we go in closer from sunnyvale to cupertino, you will notice street level radar into mountain view. getting those downpours. also seeing some heavy rain from fremont to newark across 680. not exactly an easy drive and

thunderstorm comes right near sea ranch point arena. i mean, these storms are going to continue to travel as we track these heading towards the northeast into ukiah upper lake. so keep that in mind as we look at other parts of the bay area. that san francisco area did see a thunderstorms is the here in the city earlier today, 41 mile an hour wind gusts right now at sfo. wind advisory due to gusts up to 55 until tomorrow morning. covers a good part of the bay area. as you look at a live view right now from heavenly, it is definitely a very snow packed heavenly view and the chain controls continue across this region with a blizzard warning until 10 a.m. sunday, 12ft or higher with gusty winds over the peaks. it is really dangerous to head up there. i'll be back with a full look at this level two storm, including the timeline coming right up ama. >> all right. thanks, sandy. we'll check back. let's get a look outside around the bay area. check out these live cameras. you're seeing the

golden gate bridge. that's upper left things are flowing there. you've got the bay bridge toll plaza, which is definitely backed up upper right. and then you have san francisco. you can see those gray clouds and san jose, that is 101 southbound. those rear brake lights that you see. so a little bit of traffic there as well. highway nine in santa clara county is closed because of a mudslide near saratoga. caltrans doesn't know when it will be able to reopen highway nine from sanborn road to redwood gulch road is affected. there's debris on the road from the mudslide and more could come down. >> it sure looks like it. a falling tree has injured four people in a car, according to the san francisco fire department. they posted this photo to x. this is at golden gate avenue in laguna street in the western addition, where multiple lanes are closed while firefighters respond, they did not describe how badly the people were hurt. now there's so much rain. it's overflowing in san francisco. this video was shot just a couple of hours ago. water is going up and out of the downspouts on this building and nearby. there was water coming

out of the sewer drains as well. all right, let's continue our live team coverage with abc seven news reporter tim johns in san francisco. tim, what's it like out there now? >> yeah. dan i'm here along the embarcadero in downtown san francisco and it's really been stop and go all afternoon. as you can see behind me here right now, it is pretty dry. we're in a little bit of a dry period, but just about 20 minutes ago it was absolutely pouring. and we're near the ferry building here. you could just see dozens of people running trying to get out of that rain underneath some form of shelter here under the ferry building or any other dry place they could find. really. now, we were talking about the traffic right there. here along the embarcadero. traffic isn't any more backed up than it normally is at this time. and folks have been really cautious with all of this downpour. they've been going slower than normal, just trying to ensure that everyone stays safe. now, earlier this afternoon, guys, we were actually over in the east

bay and when we were driving over the bridge to come here into downtown san francisco, we were caught up in one of those really intense spells, and we actually saw we saw lightning and we heard some of that thunder on the bridge, which was, of course, a really intense moment. and again, everything on the bridge is just kind of slowed down to a crawl. people really want to make sure that they're staying safe during these kind of slick road conditions. and with this weather storm expected to continue all into the evening and throughout the afternoon, we're expecting it to go stop and go some more. so we're advising everyone, of course, just to stay dry, stay as safe as possible when you're home. maybe just stay at home, get comfy and stay dry. but for now, dan, back to you. >> that sounds nice and it's good advice. tim. thanks very much. here's a look at the current p-g-and-e's power outages. the worst is near foster city. about 1000 people are without power there. p-g-and-e's says it's because of the weather. of course, p-g-and-e's has positioned crews in the sierra to respond quickly to outages. we also have plenty

of equipment stockpiled and ready to go. so that as we start to see damage to things like poles, wires and other pieces of equipment, we don't have to leave the area. >> it's going to be right at hand. >> p-g-and-e's has helicopters and four wheel drive vehicles on standby to get to remote areas. some roads into the sierra are now closed because of the snow. >> take a look at donner summit. just about an hour ago. look at that. traffic was at a standstill. fierce winds and heavy snow are making it hard to see. we talked to some drivers who told us they had to make it through anyway. >> where are you going? reno there's a blizzard. yeah i have to go there, unfortunately. >> and uh- got to turn around and come back. so hopefully for some safe travels, we're going to go until we can't go no more and then we'll cab up, turn the heater on when it blows over. >> we'll keep on trucking. >> chp is simply telling drivers stay away and conditions are turning out to be as bad as expected. 8-80 is now closed from baxter all the way to the

nevada state line because of spinouts with no estimated time of reopening, highway 50 is open, but chains are required from kyburz to myers, ada is closed because of snow just east of silver lake. amtrak has stopped service on the california zephyr line between emeryville and salt lake city, utah because of the weather. and let's take a live look in the sierra. this is a view at zephyr cove in south lake tahoe. you see all that snow out there. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn checked in with ski resorts. she joins us now live from the newsroom. suzanne i'm a powerful. winds and heavy snow are hitting the lake tahoe area hard. >> more is coming with each passing hour. experts say it's possible that we will break some records all over truckee. snow is flying. people are moving fast to clear away the snow from sidewalks and roads. their cars and homes, and people are bracing for more snow to slam into the sierra. >> well, i think it's crazy. we're expect this storm this year so this looks like it's going so hard right now.

>> i mainly worried about the wind. >> not so much the snow. it's the wind. >> i saw a big rig yesterday that was totally flipped over. it was gnarly. >> so much snow is expected. more than a dozen ski resorts have closed, including palisades tahoe. >> last night we received 17in of snow there's been 145 mile per hour wind gusts. so we're actually going to uh. we're closed today. the palisades side, as well as the alpine side is closed for the day. >> an avalanche threat is a major concern. so crews are working to mitigate the risk. >> we will be bombing the mountain, you know, today, tomorrow and even sunday. >> tuck wilson lives in olympic valley, about a half a mile from palisades. >> it's blowing really hard. it's blowing hard. it's been snowing hard. >> here's how it looked from his deck today. he too has been busy working to clear away the snow. he knows it's going to keep coming with conditions expected to get even wilder. >> you know, i'd like to say the snow is falling hard, but actually the snow's been going sideways hard in soda springs at

the central sierra snow lab, the lead scientist says this blizzard could break their modern day record of about 3.5ft of snow in a single day that was set in 1989. >> right now, with the way the storm is looking, uh, we could potentially get into the top ten snowiest days. um, at the snow lab. all the snow headed to the sierra is great for the state's snowpack. >> this is great for the sierra. this is great for the ski resorts. the mountain operators. >> for now, it's about just making it through the weekend. >> in the last 30 years, i haven't heard the national weather service issue 120 inch. you know, blizzard warning like this. so we could set some records in short terms. >> and this is the most powerful storm of the season. it's hitting north of lake tahoe to south of yosemite national park. that's a 300 mile stretch. live in the newsroom suzanne fawn, abc seven news. all right, suzanne, thank you so much. >> and you can track the rain and snow anytime with the abc seven bay area app search abc seven bay area in your device's app store to download it now.

what do i see in peter dixon? i see my husband... the father of our girls. i see a public servant. a man who served under secretary clinton in the state department... where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. i see a fighter, a tenacious problem-solver... who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. because he sees a better future for all of us. i'm peter dixon and i approved this message.

but they're usually very underfunded and they don't turn out in big numbers. but steve garvey had a name, former baseball star. but adam schiff made a smart move with sort of the political equivalent of a bank shot. he had to get out in front of barbara lee and katie porter, two strong competitors. so what he did was say, no, i'm not going to run against them. i'm going to run against garvey. and he floated some $30 million in tv ads attacking steve garvey as the republican lion. and that elevated steve garvey's presence with republicans. and he went from nowhere to close to that. 30% of republican vote, which will put him in the runoff with schiff and schiff will likely beat him there. >> right. but it was a very clever end run, politically speaking. >> absolutely. and the other opponent, the democrats in the race, are not happy about it. they speaking of that, that's

not the rules. he followed the rules, but the play was a different one. >> well, speaking of the competitors in this berkeley igs poll, there are people saying there are more people saying they're undecided than are actually voting for barbara lee. obviously that does not bode well for the congresswoman who's represented the east bay for years. does she have a chance? >> it's a long shot. she would have to have a big turnout of voters, but it's not necessarily going to be that big of a turnout of voters. but it's going to be heavily it could be heavily republican, and that could put her chances at at risk. but it also is something we're going to be watching tuesday night. is the governor's ambitious ambitious plan for a mega billion dollar bond for mental health facilities. that's starting to teeter. this poll showed it with about 50% support, down from 65. so there's a lot at stake in this election all over television pushing that. >> yeah. and so let's talk about the race for san francisco's mayor. it's not part of the march primary. it's on the november ballot. and you found out yesterday that supervisor aaron peskin might enter the

race. so we asked mayor london breed about that today. >> he just needs to say what he's going to do already. you know, and i don't think we should give it a lot of time and attention or life until he makes that decision to say that that's what he's going to do, because, right now it's all speculation, it's all buzz. people love the speculation and the buzz. but we still got work to do. >> well, it's very interesting. buzz phil, should london be worried about her reelection chances? there is a lot. >> yes, she should be. her support is under 50% and with ranked choice voting, if you're an incumbent with less than 50, then there's a chance that you could be knocked out. and aaron peskin is seeing new polling that shows that that plus he's been included in a poll now that shows that he actually does pretty well compared to the other candidates challenging the mayor. >> so his interest is piqued, right? >> yes. and everybody, a lot of interest is going to be piqued because, like it or not, if people sense blood in the water or that there's somebody incumbent rather than rally behind him, no, they they line

up to pat him on the back and knock him apart. yeah. >> shove him off. >> all right. thank you. phil all right. >> well, we'll move on now. a breaking in in the middle of the night surveillance video captured what stunned business owners only discovered when they arrived at their stores this mornin time to protect your vehicle from winter's wrath. of course, the hot sun can be tough on vehicles too. you need weathertech. laser measured floorliners and cargo liner will shield the carpeting from sand and snow. for your interior, there's seat protector and sunshade. plus, mud flaps and bumpstep for the exterior. while the new impactliner, with shock absorbing rings, safeguards your truck bed from costly damage. order american made products at wt.com

surf's up! i launched our campaign at this union hall. at wt.com let's go win this thing! then we hit the road and never stopped. you shared with me your frustration at working harder to barely get by and afford a place to live. your fears for our democracy and freedoms and your dreams for yourself, your family, and the future. it is not too late to realize those dreams. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message because together we can still get big things done.

>> there's a blizzard warning in effect. right now in the sierra. you can see why. so we have a live picture from zephyr cove at south lake tahoe on your screen. i mean, the snow is what, horizontal right there. it's incredible. live doppler seven shows everything the storm is bringing to california. that is intense. all right, we're keeping an eye on that. and on this. the oakland police commission has sent all four of its police chief candidates to mayor shengtao. one candidate is from the bay area, the others are from out of state. the commission unanimously voted to send all the names on its short list over following last night's

public forum, candidates shared their vision for the city of oakland. if selected for the position, tao did not attend and has opposed this sort of open interview process. it's now up to the mayor to pick someone or reject all the candidates. she has denied previous candidates the police commission submitted to her. well whoever she picks will have a big job. >> six shops along oakland's temescal alley were broken into last night. burglars got away with $50,000 in merchandise from a leather goods shop. stores there have been broken into before, but owners say police just haven't done anything. one business owner says she's considering moving out of the east bay after this most recent incident. the people that you're asking to vote for, you are also the people that are impacted by, you know, all that's going on here. >> and so you need to listen to the business owners and the citizens of your community when they ask for help, because a lot of people feel like they're not getting it. >> surveillance footage shows two men going back and forth, at least three times overnight. council member dan kalb represents the area and says

oakland officials are taking steps to crack down on crime. but results will take time. perhaps not a satisfying answer for so many business owners, but this may be encouraging to them. the governor has a strategy for cleaning up oakland's streets. his office today released a ten point action plan to support the city and making oakland safer and more beautiful. the plan includes installation of more security cameras around the city, improvements in trash pickup and landscaping, and assistance from the state in addressing homelessness. governor newsom also has increased deployment of chp officers in oakland to help combat crime. >> coming up next, building a better bay area by protecting the past. we have a history of over 113 years here in this community, and this building is a testament, a physical testament to our history. >> what it takes to restore a ucial part of the oldest japantown in the country in san francisco. stay with us

a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. and did we mention, it really, really sticks? salonpas, it's good medicine. "overflowing with ideas and energy." that's the san francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. porter is "easily the most impressive candidate." "known for her grilling of corporate executives." with "deep policy knowledge." katie porter's housing plan has "bipartisan-friendly ideas to bring homebuilding costs down."

and the chronicle praises "her ideas to end soft corruption in politics." let's shake up the senate. with democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. is it possible to count on my internet with democrat katie porter. like my customers count on me? it is with comcast business. keeping you up and running with our 99.9% network reliability. and security that helps outsmart threats to your data. moaire dida twoo? - your data, too. there's even round-the-clock customer support. so you can be there for your customers. with comcast business, reliability isn't just possible. it's happening. get started for $49 a month. plus, ask how to get up to a $800 prepaid card with a qualifying internet package. don't wait, call and switch today! what do i see in peter dixon? i see my husband... the father of our girls. i see a public servant. a man who served under secretary clinton in the state department... where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. i see a fighter, a tenacious problem-solver...

who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. because he sees a better future for all of us. i'm peter dixon and i approved this message. and we continue to keep an eye on today's storm, which ranks two on the exclusive abc seven

news storm impact scale. that makes it a moderate storm because of the downpour hours and the gusty wind. take a look at the amount of rain drivers dealt with on the embarcadero this afternoon. without windshield wipers going, you can barely see the road and a live picture at the bay bridge toll plaza. just a huge backup on those wet roads and the sierra could see up to 12ft or more of snow by sunday on the highest peaks. >> some roads are closed because it is not safe to drive. you see all that snow the roads that are open do require chains. now this live view of zephyr cove, south lake tahoe shows that snow coming. i'd say down, but it's more like a cross. there is a blizzard warning in effect and you can see why. >> a surprising sight out of madera county this is a tornado that touched down near an elementary school. we don't see these around here very often. there are no reports of any injuries. all right. >> we do want to bring in abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel tracking the conditions. >> very closely. sandy. yeah. >> and dan and omar, the weather

service is sending out a notice that there are strong thunderstorms, frequent cloud to ground lightning. this is in the north bay. let's take a look at live doppler seven right now. and as we get you in closer you will see multiple lightning strikes across the region. tracking this cell for you. it's moving into south santa rosa at 639. angwin at 728. head inside. seeing those downpours in marin county from larkspur to mill valley. also lightning across parts of the east bay near el sobrante. and seeing those downpours from the santa cruz mountains into the gilroy area. i'll be back with another look at the weather coming right up, dan. >> all right. thanks sandhya. >> all right, let's turn now to a story about building a better bay area. san francisco has the oldest japantown in the country, and japanese americans have made significant contributions. of course, to building a better bay area and now they're fighting to preserve the most historic building in japantown. >> abc seven news reporter liam melendez is here with more on the plan. liam. >> yeah, well, i didn't realize, you know, the impact of this building. it you know, the impact it has on this community.

it was amazing to me. and that's why the community believes that if they preserve this building, then they are also keeping the history of san francisco's japantown alive for generations to come. the old desks at this japanese language school take us back to a time when japanese american students were excluded from attending public schools in san francisco, so they did home schooling at the time because the children had no schooling or cannot enroll into public schools. >> there was that need to have this building. >> and so in 1911, the kinmon gakuen school was established at 2031 bush street. but building a new school on that site was nearly impossible, because during that time, asian immigrants were not allowed to own property in san francisco. >> at that time, the board was very smart. they went under the name of golden gate institute and filed their paperwork under that institute. it did not

associate it with any type of japanese name. >> they were not all that deceptive because the name kinmon gakuen means golden gate school in english. >> that's how kinmon gakuen was able to purchase its own building. >> the school was the pride of japantown, earning several royal visits from the brother of emperor hirohito, prince takamatsu, in the early 30s, and then in 1960, crown prince akihito and his wife visited a classroom. he later became the emperor of japan. i'm looking at all these pictures and these are very prominent people who came to this school, right? >> and at that time, kinmon gakuen played not only a role of education for japanese americans, but it also played the role of passing on traditions. >> when japan attacked pearl harbor, the us forced japanese americans into concentration camps, forced the school to close, and turned the site into a processing center for the thousands who were being shipped to those camps.

>> a line of japanese americans and their families, all with just suitcases or just sacks of their prized possessions lining up. and this place served as a processing center, meaning that the government authorities checked everyone in family by family and then gave them id numbers and they were no longer individuals. they were all considered just numbers to the government. >> within days, this once bustling neighborhood became desolate. >> it was during the war, lots of labor was needed to help with the war industry. so many african americans from the south were recruited to come here. and because there was no one living here, a lot of the landlords decided that they wanted to make money and rented a lot of the houses and the homes in the apartments to african americans who needed jobs and came here for jobs. >> members of the black community temporarily took over the japanese american school, protecting the artifacts and preserving the culture, because there belongings were

safeguarded, those families could come back and really start the school almost immediately and, and, you know, restart a sense of community when the japanese americans returned, the two communities faced new challenges together. >> just a few years after that, after they were getting their lives back to order, you had something called redevelopment because most banks would not lend money to the japanese americans. >> their homes fell into disrepair. >> the city suddenly declared this is a blighted area. you haven't been maintaining your properties. we're going to bulldoze your business and homes. >> by 1970, under the leadership of justin herman, many homes and businesses in japantown and the western addition were leveled. 10,000 people were displaced. today, japantown has been dramatically reduced to a six block area comprised of the japan center with a roof ozawa sculpture. she herself a survivor of a us concentration

camp. there are only three historic buildings left the ymca , the ywca and the language center. this school has been around for a very long time, and i mean, i'm looking at these wonderful desks. i mean, they're older than me. yes. um, but but what do you want for the future of this location? the original intent of this school is to go back to six days a week. >> that's what i want to see personally. >> but that would require a complete retrofit at an estimated $20 million. while the state and the city have financially contributed, more money is needed to complete the intended project. >> so it's so important that we have this resource, this japanese language school, to really rectify by all that was lost during the wartime incarceration. >> we have a history of over 113 years here in this community, and this building is a testament , a physical testament to our history. >> now, i want to clarify

something. you may have noticed that the terme concentration camps was used in that story. now, just a few years ago, many japanese americans decided to stop using the word internment to describe the place where they were confined. now, the jewish community understandably so, asked for clarification on now. at that point, the japanese americans said they would now use the terme us as concentration camps or incarceration camps. i didn't know that i learned something and i hope people do too. yeah certainly. >> your report, they will. >> thank you. thanks liane. >> sure. >> all right. coming up next, trap or release. california's delta can do both when it comes to greenhouse gases. and uc berkeley researchers are figuring out why. and we'll take you there

for any traveler you want to be. like #1 chef dad, cookin' up a free, hot breakfast for the entire family at a comfort hotel. mom made this. umm, i... added the garnish. stay twice and get a free night when you book direct.

live doppler seven right smack in the middle for you. you're also getting a look at the impact with these live pictures that traffic back up the bay bridge toll plaza, upper left blizzard at south lake tahoe. yep, that snow coming on that camera. clouds covering san francisco and the slow drive on 101 in san jose. >> a new study is revealing what may be a new threat from sea level rise. it's not flooding, but a potential increase in greenhouse gas. >> abc7 news weather anchor spencer christian shows you what's behind this. >> reporter the miles of wetlands that dot the sacramento-san joaquin delta can provide powerful, but sometimes mixed, benefits in the fight against climate change. on one hand, the marshy soils act like a powerful carbon sink, trapping greenhouse gases like co2. but under certain conditions they

can also release a different kind of greenhouse gas methane. >> wetlands are a very significant source of methane to the atmosphere, and methane is a major contributor to global warming. >> susannah tringe is a researcher with the lawrence berkeley national laboratory, also known as berkeley lab. she and her team used dna sequencing to examine organisms found in soil samples taken from various marsh areas around the delta. while the science is complex, she believes the addition of slightly saltier water could tip the natural balance in certain areas, leading to increased methane levels. >> we were surprised to see that there was a lot more methane being produced by some of the wetlands that were just slightly saline. >> surprising because higher levels of salt, like those found around san francisco bay, typically have the opposite effect discouraging methane. but with sea level rise pushing saltier water deeper into the delta, where it mixes with fresh water, researchers worry about a slow shift in the chemistry, a kind of lightly salted middle

zone that could potentially produce much higher levels of methane than researchers had initially predicted. >> we think that that has significant implications for seawater keeping into the delta. >> here we have the methane sensor. >> but to better understand the complicated balance, scientists from the university of california have been monitoring areas of the delta with sophisticated equipment measured differences in soil and other conditions, and their effect on carbon capture. researcher dennis baldacci believes that we could see conditions change and perhaps change again over the course of decades. >> and then the question is it happens on ecosystem time scales, which is years and decades, and they change on a year by year basis. so we need that be out there monitoring and observing and then studying these things to really know what's going on. >> but if there is a near firm threat from sea level rise, researchers may be able to identify areas that are more resilient than others. >> i think that as we learn more about the microbiology, we might know which locations we're

better targets for wetland restoration. that might be good carbon sinks and what wetlands are particularly important to preserve in san francisco. >> spencer christian abc seven news. >> now, modeling done at uc berkeley suggests the delta ecosystems affected by sea level rise could still stabilize and become true net carbon sinks. but keep in mind that process could take decades, maybe longer . >> coming up next, an update on the weather forecast to help you plan out your weekend around the wind and rain

"overflowing with ideas and energy." that's the san francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. porter is "easily the most impressive candidate." "known for her grilling of corporate executives." with "deep policy knowledge." katie porter's housing plan has "bipartisan-friendly ideas to bring homebuilding costs down." and the chronicle praises "her ideas to end soft corruption in politics." let's shake up the senate. with democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. this van just hit me out of . i thought i was dead. after the accident, i was in a lot of pain and i decided that i needed to. i called jacoby & meyers they had their own dream team. they took care of me like a . i would recommend you call jacoby & meyers they really went to bat for me.

30, the fire department was called to golden gate avenue in laguna street in the western addition. they've now left the scene, but say drivers can expect delays in that area until the tree is cleared up. as you can see, that's not the only problem. this video of the storm drains in that intersection are also showing you just how much rain came down. they've overflowed. all right, here's a look at the current p-g-and-e's power outages around the bay area. the worst is near foster city. almost a thousand without power there. pkg andy says it is of course, because of the

weather. >> all right. so let's talk about that weather and what's happening outside right now. >> meteorologist andy patel here with the updates. andy. yeah. >> and ama and dan, let's take a look at live doppler seven, because we have been seeing the active weather with thunderstorms firing up in multiple locations. this is the penngrove rohnert park area where you will notice some light to moderate rain falling right now. but it certainly was active. just a short time ago with some thunderstorms activity. now we're moving that moisture towards saint helena area. we're seeing some heavy rain falling from san quentin to mill valley, san rafael area, downpours across vallejo. so definitely not an easy breezy friday night across south bay. gilroy highway 101, san martin getting some moderate to heavy rain and as we widen the picture here, more thunderstorms developing off the coast. the biggest issue is all of this speckled cloudiness that you're seeing is cold, unstable air and it's got to get through. obviously, it's dumping in the mountains. this is a level two snow storm as we go, hour by hour, we're going to continue to

see those downpours at times through tonight, really going into tomorrow morning. that chance of thunder with hail will continue. gusts right now 56 miles an hour in oakland hills, 59 atlas peak. here's a view from our east bay hills camera. this camera has been shaking as it has been windy. and not only windy, but dumping in the mountains. blizzard conditions from zephyr cove. right now that warning remains up until sunday. highs tomorrow 40s 50s. you need the jacket, you need the umbrellas. and hang on to the umbrellas through the weekend. tomorrow is a one wintry mix. thunder chance with hail, sunday showers, snow over the peaks. although not quite as intense as tomorrow. and then a weaker system gets in here monday afternoon through early wednesday. it's a one. we will see some more wet weather then, but ama and dan we're not expecting that to be quite as intense. >> okay? okay, sandhya. thanks. all right. what's going on? sports. larry. >> uh. well, we have warriors celtics sunday right here on abc seven. but tonight the team is in canada. and when you're you're flying private planes, traveling can be a pain. just

good evening. rough trip for the warriors after beating the knicks in new york last night, their plane had mechanical issues. by the time they cleared customs and canada got to the hotel in toronto is about 7 a.m, so a weary group, literally, of road warriors is facing the raptors tonight. let's start with steph curry because he and isaiah are now expecting their fourth child. the announcement came today. curry to a cutting jonathan kuminga after he hits that three. but kuminga is just like the human highlight reel. if you remember dominique wilkins. come on. incredible third quarter for the warriors as they would pull away curry again to kuminga with authority.

come get some. who wants it. dubs grab the lead and then steph pulling up for three. his seventh of the game. part of a 14 three run. he finished with 25 points. dubs outscored toronto 3219, in the third. and this game has gone final. just seconds ago the warriors going for a clean sweep boston on sunday brandon crawford he's now playing for the cardinals, but he wanted to stay with the giants. giants didn't want the 37 year old shortstop who hit only 194 last year. you'll recall crawford helped the giants win two world series, but he indicated farhan zaidi didn't want him on the team even in a reduced bench role. giants spring training still looking for their first win in the cactus league, playing texas kyle harrison started, went two and a third struck out two. also walked three. he might be second in the giants rotation. good sign for the giants offense. finally getting some luis matos with not one but two homers on the day. giants with four bombs in all rallying for 17 hits. they win 11 five. it's their

first victory of the spring. so do you remember pga star anthony kim 12 years ago? he was a tour winner. ryder cup hero. but he kept getting hurt and hurt and hurt. collected $10 million in insurance money with the stipulation he could never play pro golf again. well after a decade away, kim is back. he's on the live tour, rumored to have signed for $10 million live in saudi arabia this week. here's the now 38 year old kim displaying some great touch around the green on number three. he certainly has not lost that skill, but on 15, the rust shows. this is, uh. shankaram right there. that's way off. uh, so he would bogey that hole on six. he bounced back with a 15 foot birdie. kim finishing with a six over par 76. but he's in last place. 14 shots back of master champion jon rahm. abc seven sports. sponsored by your northern california honda dealers. a one more reminder warriors at celtics boston the

best team in the nba currently. so this will be a huge test. wow. okay. 12:30 p.m. sunday on abc seven. and then followed by after the game. thanks, larry. yeah >> tonight on abc seven at eight. it's shark tank followed by 2020. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app and join us whenever you want. wherever you are. >> finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. another black eye for san francisco tonight for a city that's been punched in the face a lot lately. and this one's a real shiner. macy's flagship store at union square, which first opened its doors there in 1947, is closing. them for good. it might not happen for a year or more, but at this point there doesn't seem to be a lot of hope that macy's will reverse course. the iconic retailer is closing roughly 150 of its 500 stores around the country. about 30% of

its total number of stores. but this one in san francisco is particularly painful, as the venerable anchor of the union square shopping district, the decision reflects a changing business climate for large department stores. but the bottom line is the bottom line. if macy's was doing well at union square, they'd keep it open. what really matters is that closures beget closures, and one of this size is likely likely to cause even more businesses to up sticks. it's a problem that's beyond perception or finger pointing. it cuts into the bone of a great city. but great cities figure it out and we will too. 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. thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel reveal. >> all of us. we appreciate your time. have a gre
