>> okay, kristen and larry, this is the first of two storms coming our way. this is a lighter one. heavier one comes in on friday. here's a look at live doppler seven. you can see that after a day when most of the rain was focused on the north bay, we've got rain. substantial rain now moving into the south bay, the east bay from reaching in a line actually from over in the livermore area down through milpitas and san jose, los gatos and into the santa cruz mountains. and we're going to see even more widespread rain this evening. this is a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. through tonight. we expect scattered showers, briefly heavy downpours. there are a few of those developing right now. it will be breezy to gusty at times. and here's the forecast animation taking us into the evening hours when we'll see the rain become more widespread, it will be steadier. there'll be those downpours i mentioned and the main body of the storm will be swinging southward and eastward. so not so much in the north bay, more in the east bay, around the bay shoreline, down into the south bay and the santa cruz mountains. and as i mentioned, there's a stronger storm coming our way on friday, a level two. i'll give you a closer look at that and what's

happening in the sierra with the winter storm warning a little bit later. kristen. >> all right, spencer, thank you. activists are renewing their push for the federal government to decriminalize cannabis use. they're pointing to things that president biden said during his campaign in 2020, promises they say he has yet to keep. more than 20 states have legalized cannabis. but on the federal level, momentum has stalled more and more american people are in support of cannabis legalization. >> we're at a point right now where over 70% of americans, as majorities of both parties, support decriminalization and legalization, and so what we're asking is for our president, our vice president, this administration, to catch up to the people. >> cannabis is currently listed as a schedule one substance by the federal government, which categorizes it as one of the most dangerous drugs, along with heroin and lsd. advocates want the government to reschedule it or deschedule it altogether. >> daly city, celebrating the completion of a $2 million pedestrian safety improvement

of the napa county board of supervisors will be women. the new firm starts in january 2025. >> abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn has a look at what this means to local leaders. >> this second gentleman is actually very special to me. this is my second great grandfather. >> liz alessio is following in her great grandfather's footsteps. >> he was a county supervisor from 1901 to 1904. >> alessi is one of the newly elected supervisors in napa county, along with newcomer amber manfrey, incumbent bella ramos also won reelection. >> we're all coming in as very well qualified and very hard working candidates. >> this is a photo of the current board. two male supervisors are retiring starting next january. all five supervisors in napa county will be women. it says a lot about napa county and how progressive we are here. >> yeah. big picture. i think it's demonstrative of the many talented, women who are residing

and working here in napa county. anytime you get a new board of supervisors, you get new people added to the board. it's an exciting time. >> the supervisors have varied backgrounds. they include working with nonprofit and community based organizations. there are several attorneys and a scientist. many say having an all women board in napa county is a big win for gender equity. >> there's been so much discussion about glass ceilings and the difference in pay and equity issues, and, you know, i do think this is, you know, it's symbolic, but it's a it's a step, it's a step in the, in the direction of, of good representation. >> our constituency chose who they believed were the most qualified people. they just all happened to be females. and it's incredibly exciting that we get to do this together. >> napa county is actually the second county in the state to have an all women board. it follows los angeles county. well, it's an exciting moment, and i'm really grateful to be a part of it in napa county.

suzanne vaughn, abc seven news. >> and you can add another name to the list of candidates who would like to be california's next governor. betty yee, formally announcing today that she will seek the state's top office. the democrat and san francisco native is currently our state controller. lieutenant governor eleni kounalakis, california superintende of education tony thurmond and state senator toni atkins have already entered the race. >> san francisco mayoral candidate daniel laurie locked up an endorsement today. former san francisco mayor frank jordan. >> i'm encouraging daniel lurie to be the next mayor because he has the ability, the integrity, the clarity of vision, the determination and the tireless energy to restore san francisco to its rightful position as a world class city. >> jordan said he's endorsing laurie because he has the creativity to carry san francisco into the future. laurie is running against mayor breed, current supervisor asha sapphire, and former supervisor and interim mayor mark farrell

with, you know, more possible jumping in later on because they have until june. we'll see how it goes. yeah. >> all right. stop me if you've heard this one before. it may rain. it may rain again. >> yeah. it's just winning in some spots right now is likely to spread to others as well. larry, here's a look at live doppler seven. you can see what's going on for much of the day. we have light scattered showers and mainly in the north bay. but right now most of the activity has pushed southward and eastward, as you can see. and a closer look shows you that from just south of livermore, now sweeping southwestward down through the mount hamilton area near san jose, down deeper into the south bay and into the santa cruz mountains, we've got a line of fairly steady and impressive showers, and the bigger picture with the satellite radar composite image shows the storm that's driving that frontal system into the bay area and bringing us the rainfall with a few downpours likely tonight and occasionally some gusty wind. in fact, as gusty in some spots already with wind speeds, gusts up to 24mph. concord 23 here at sfo and you'll notice it has

cooled down substantially since this time yesterday. anywhere from two degrees cooler around the bay shoreline to nine degrees cooler right now up in novato. so here's the view from emeryville. looking westward 58 degrees right now at san francisco and oakland 59 at hayward, 58 san mateo, san jose 6154 at half moon bay. clouds over the golden gate and damp pavement there. other temperature readings at this hour. mid 50s at santa rosa, petaluma and napa. 59 at concord and fairfield, 57 at livermore. so let's take a look at the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. this is a level one storm for tonight and tomorrow, with showers beginning to spread right now. moderate to heavy rain developing later tonight and it will be breezy to gusty while it is already in some spots. so here's our forecast animation. notice the another line of showers developing in the north bay and sweeping southward as we get into the evening hours becoming steadier, more widespread, and heavier. and again, some of these downpours will be accompanied by strong gusts of wind late tonight. after 1130 or after

midnight, we'll see the storm beginning to break up, but it will be followed by scattered showers, mainly light showers going into the early morning hours tomorrow. they may linger for a while, but they'll be widely scattered. so we're not talking about a rainy day tomorrow, but a day that will bring us some periods of showers. rainfall totals from this storm will be relatively light, generally not more than a half inch, but a stronger storm coming in on friday will bring us additional rainfall totals. winter storm warning in effect for the western slopes of the sierra till 11:00 tomorrow morning, and for the greater lake tahoe area until 11:00 tomorrow morning as a storm. winter storm advisory. so travel conditions there will not be great overnight. low temperatures, generally mid to upper 40s. highs tomorrow under chance of showers and breaks of sunshine, mainly upper 50s to low 60s. and here's the accuweather 70 forecast. level two storm comes in on friday. and again that'll bring rainy, windy and much cooler conditions . a chance of thunderstorms on saturday as that storm lingers. isolated showers may continue into easter sunday. we also

expect to see some breaks of sunshine on sunday. certainly a sunnier break coming monday, tuesday and wednesday with a nice springlike warm up and some drying out. >> there's that. >> a bunny that might not be happy with you. how many bunnies are? >> so what's new? thank you spencer. >> just the messenger. >> the rainbow pride flag in san francisco's castro district could become an official landmark supervisor rafael mandelman introduced the resolution yesterday. if it passes, the city planning department will submit paperwork to the historic preservation commission. the board of supervisors, along with the mayor, would give final approval. >> some of hollywood's biggest stars recently celebrated the 35th anniversary of the gladd media awards. abc news reporter michelle fisher has a preview of the awards. special that's coming to hulu this friday. >> juno temple, the cast of good trouble and sharon stone were just some of the big names hitting the carpet in los angeles. >> when you try to do good in

the world, people notice. >> oprah winfrey was on hand to receive the vanguard award for her work on stamping out discrimination. >> it all boils down to such fear, and i have been in incredible situations where people are doing and saying really horribly mean things, but it's because they are so saturated and have been marinated in fear and ignorance. >> there's a lot of different communities out there, but this particular community is as inclusive and, you know, wants to have their freedom and are still fighting a really important fight. in a very emotional moment, niecy nash betts received the prestigious stephen f kolzak award. it represents, being seen by one of the most amazing communities, and i just love the fact that the way i live my life can inspire, can encourage, can can, shine a light on, on on how

other people may want to live their lives. michelle fisher for abc news. >> greenhouse gas may soon have nowhere to hide. the new technology that can help track methane down anywhere, and groundhog day may be long over, but punxsutawney phil is still making some news. >> we'll tell you how

a dangerous greenhouse gas. >> spencer christian rejoins us with a look at exactly how this works. spencer. >> okay, larry, as we reported last week, new research is uncovering much higher levels of the gas methane being released into the atmosphere than previously believed. now there's an expanding system designed to spot those leaks. the sources of the methane. while it may be invisible to the naked eye, the greenhouse gas methane could soon have nowhere to hide. a new generation of satellite based detection systems will soon be going online, with the goal of spotting methane leaks from space. >> we can detect the invisible fingerprints of methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and not just detect it, but generate an image of it so we can make it visible. >> riley duren is ceo of the nonprofit carbon mapper. his organization helped pioneer an airborne detection system for methane and co2. it employs a spectrometer specially designed

by nasa jpl in pasadena, mounted inside and aircraft, the system is able to capture the signature of methane leaking from a variety of sources, from dairies to oil and gas operations, but in a few months, carbon mapper plans to launch a new satellite based version with the help of san francisco based planet labs, which specializes in image capturing from space. so they can be deployed on a reasonably small satellite. >> you know, something about the size of a washing machine. but initially, the instruments are becoming more sensitive and the need could be more urgent than first believed. >> using current carbon mapper data, stanford researchers found the average level of methane gas release in areas around the country was three times government estimates. evan sherwin is the lead author. >> these emissions are equivalent to about 99. $3 billion in climate damages liftoff. >> earlier this month, a spacex

rocket carried a similar methane detecting satellite into orbit backed in part by the environmental defense fund. the methane set would have a view on wide areas, coupled with the precision optics on the carbon mapper satellite, experts believe it could create a global early warning system. >> so imagine it being like a pair of bifocals or a different set of lenses that you use for different, different parts of the problem. >> and they believe what can be seen can be fixed with many companies potentially losing millions of dollars or more from destructive leaks they didn't know were happening. fixable with repairs that could also have a profound impact on the release of greenhouse gases. now, just to underscore that opportunity, stanford researchers found that it's just a small fraction of leaks responsible for huge percentages of the methane released, so-called super emitters. and we'll be following up on that. all right. >> thank you, spencer, for the first time in 138 years, the world famous groundhog punxsutawney phil is now a father. groundhog welcomed two baby woodchucks with his wife,

phyllis, while in captivity. did you even know he was married? no. >> no, i mean, we're learning new things about phil every day. >> perhaps she should be the prognosticator. >> well. oh now. >> yeah. moving. moving. >> phil, house percentage would get better. >> anyway, this news was a huge surprise to the dignitaries of the groundhog club inner circle, which i also didn't realize existed, since this has never happened before. but phil is, phil's getting around. who knew? yeah all right, coming up, a battle over developments in san francisco. the board of supervisors goes against the mayor, vetoes her plan for new housing. we'll talk with abc7 news insider phil matier about exactly what that means. >> and later honoring rosie the riveters, not just here in the bay area. the celebration happening next

a honey baked ham that's been slow smoked, hand glazed, and spiral sliced. or, a kelly baked ham. nobody wants a kelly baked meal, not even kelly. every bite is a celebration with the honey baked ham company. you didn't live this strong, this long to get put on the shelf like a porcelain doll. if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and are at high risk for fracture, you can build new bone with evenity®.

by the mayor over new housing limits. mayor london breed rejected a bill restricting construction along the city's northern waterfront. yesterday, for the first time ever, the board of supervisors voted to overturn a mayor's veto. the density limit would impact the scale and the height of developments in jackson square, the jackson square extension and the northeast waterfront historic district. abc seven news insider phil matier joins us more to get in on this discussion and tell us what it means. what does this do or not do for housing in san francisco? >> well, that's interesting, larry, because it's question is whether this is the start of something bigger. you know, san francisco has always had a love hate relationship with housing. on one hand, it supports more of it being built, saying it's way too costly. now. rents are too high. we need more housing. on the other hand, when you go to

build it, it can get really tough with the neighborhoods. let me show you what we're talking about here. i think we have some video that pretty much crystallized what the what the situation is in san francisco. there is basically a line right down it. you can see what we're looking at. is san francisco coming in over the waterfront down by aquatic park in the distance out there. you see the high rises. but other than that, you see the historic san francisco, the seven sisters, the victorians, coit tower, uh, that whole area. and you don't see high rises there. basically, san francisco has drawn a line saying in from california street south, build as high as you want, as dense as you want, but going the other way. we want to stay old san francisco and the mayor crossed that line when she advocated the idea of building denser and higher houses in that area. peskin and the board of supervisors said no to it. the question is, will other neighborhoods that you see in the videos we just showed say no

as well and make this an issue not only today and yesterday, but in the upcoming mayor's race? >> well, that was something i wanted to get to. how big of a of a setback is this for mayor london breed? and what does it do for aaron peskin? >> okay, that question is how many nimbys are out there versus yimbys? one is not in my backyard. the other is, yes, in my backyard, the no in my backyard. say you can build the high rise housing, but not in our neighborhoods, not out in the richmond, not along the great highway where they're proposing, you know, 50 story tall buildings. no no, they're pretty active group in san francisco, and they vote. the yimbys tend to be younger people that are looking for housing. and how which one of them goes is peskin's betting that more people are on the not in my backyard versus the yes, in my backyard. the mayor is saying housing is the key critical one, and that she's going to continue to veto any opposition to new housing going in, especially if

it's not reasonable. >> it feels like the eternal catch 22 for whoever is the mayor of san francisco. yeah, we need more housing. we want more housing, not that housing and not that high and not there. >> think of it as the tale of two cities, one city is the high rises and the millennium tower that's made world news and the and the salesforce tower, all that. that's one city. the other city is north beach, chinatown. and the people who got here and came here want that city to stay the way it is when they got here. so yeah, it's the tale of two cities with a split personality thrown in on each side. >> all right, before you go, real quick reaction to the naming of the new oakland police chief. >> well, he's coming in. he is. i talked with one veteran cop and said, this is my 12th chief. okay everybody's talking about the first hundred days. larry, some of this is going to be clocked on the first 100 homicides. the fact of the matter is that the new chief would like to come in, meet with

people, get to know the community and get ties in with the community. i don't think he has the time for that. the community isn't really interested in reconnecting right now. they're interested in enforcement, and it's going to be a challenge for the chief because at a time when he needs to hire cops and get out there with more resources. the city is also facing a projected two year, $177 million deficit, so it may not have the money to make a lot of plans work. some people were hoping for a big call to action. he didn't get that today, but the naacp said they're willing to give him a chance and that's a good sign for him. we'll see where it goes . >> yeah, certainly no shortage of challenges there. phil, thank you. >> in alameda county today, renters held a protest to demand better tenants rights. they're calling on the county's board of supervisors to pass just cause eviction protections. those ensure that landlords can only evict renters for specific reasons. so called just causes like not paying rent. tenants in unincorporated areas of alameda

county say they've been left especially unprotected ever since pandemic era eviction moratoriums expired. >> our people are in the streets, our people are those who are becoming evicted and who are becoming homeless. so we need these. we need these protections, and we need this. now. >> a hearing on just cause protections have been scheduled for the board of supervisors meeting last month, but was postponed. it's unclear when they plan to take up the issue again. >> all right, coming up, forget retiring at 65. well, spencer forgot a long time ago. one ceo wants you to keep on working. spencer and some new rules

hey. nice to meet you. (♪)

you're so amazing. (♪) you know, we have a new report out today that has you maybe rethinking your leftovers. the united nations environment program says households around the world throw out more than a billion meals per day. it's estimated that $1 trillion worth of food is tossed out every year. and it's bad for the environment, too. 8 to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to food waste. and spencer is that due to just the, you know, processing, transporting, preparing and all that food that a lot of it has to do with that and the decomposition of the of the rotting food, it releases a greenhouse gases into the

atmosphere. >> but that's, you know, that's one sad side of it. the other sad side of it is so many people are starving, and yet so much food is being thrown away. yeah, that's the irony, isn't it, that, you know, and, you know, we all try to be good about it. >> but how often have you taken food home from a restaurant that you didn't finish thinking you're going to eat it later and you just don't eat it later? yeah you know, you feel guilty throwing it out. >> yeah. i wish there was a more efficient way that we could gather all this food together to get to the people who really need it. because, you know, you and i individually, you know, scraping the plate, it doesn't really get it done on the scale that we would require, but hopefully somebody could figure out at some point. it's too many meals wasted. yeah. football fans going to see some changes next season. dan, i was talking with you about this last night. this involves the kickoff under a new rule. so look at where everybody's positioned here. only the kicker. and two returners will be able to move while the ball is in the air. and this type of kickoff was originally pioneered by the xfl. and the nfl is adopting it because they think the number of returns will increase and the

number of injuries will decrease. right now, so many kickers are just kicking the ball through the end zone because their legs are so strong , but this is the kind of impact that they're trying to limit because you get more concussions on kickoffs than in any other play because people are just running full speed. right? well, yeah. now neck into yeah. you won't have like the 40 yard sprint and then colliding with somebody because the offense and defensive players are close together. larry >> they used to call that the wedge breaker was a role. right. when you go down and just basically throw your body into a crowd of guys. >> yes. there were several coaches suggesting i do that without a helmet. they didn't care. no, they just they really just take out those three guys and we'll scrape you up after the play, especially. oh go ahead, go ahead. >> i was going to say safety aside, part of it is the game might be more fun to watch if there are more returned attempts as opposed to just fair catching. is that the idea? >> yeah. because like if you break through that initial line of defense, you have a chance to

go the distance and that's they're looking for more excitement. it's hard to increase excitement and reduce the risk of injury at the same time. that's what they're trying to do. >> this might be a way it could be. >> it could be. >> all right. forget retiring at 65. i mean, spencer, you would never think of that anyway, right? >> 12 years ago for me. >> yeah. >> that's for the week. >> yeah. that's for the week. >> that's at least what one ceo is saying. larry fink with blackrock says with americans living longer, the retirement system is getting strained. he suggests people work longer and not retire at 65. however, that leads to other issues with the majority of workers over 50 saying they face ageism at work. you guys, i would also think young people would be thinking, hey, retire so i can have your job like otherwise there are no jobs for us. >> well, that is that is part of it. a couple of comments that i would make. first, you know, we're fortunate we do jobs that we love. we're not working in the hot sun. right? spencer has worked past, you know, retirement age because he loves what he does and he's passionate about it. we all are. it's easier when you have that kind of a job. you know, sometimes if

you're working a very difficult job, it's hard to keep going. and as for the ceo, we have to do something about the retirement system. it is strained that we need to figure out a way to make sure it stays financially viable for all of us as we get older. but, you know, sure, we'd all stay in the job if we were ceo, right? i mean, it's easy for him to go, oh, keep working. well, sure. yeah. you know, give me the corner office and you know, a huge pay package and. yeah, sure, i'll stay in that job. yeah i'll do an extra couple of years. >> spencer, you have to address this topic. well, i, i'm not sure how to do that, but let me say this without sounding like i'm just kissing up to the company i have faced. >> i've seen no evidence of ageism in my 12 years of working beyond age 65. so far, so. oh, yeah. how's that? >> yeah, and this company is great about that. but yeah. >> spencer, keep on going. spencer. >> spencer, you only have another 13 years to go before. >> i'm not so sure about that. >> maybe in life, but not at work. >> if larry fink has his way, you're not going anywhere. uh. the easter bunny apparently has some deep pockets. is going to need him. americans are expected

to spend more than $22 billion on easter items, according to the national retail federation. most of that money is expected to be spent on food followed by clothing. and you add this to the cost. the price of cocoa hit an all time high yesterday, meaning the chocolate bunnies could cost even more. wow. easter sunday correct. i don't i don't want to be wrong on this. yeah. all right. that's right. so i, i don't know, everything is getting so expensive. kristen sze. it's out of control. everything is out of control. >> it is. but that's why stock up earlier. like, you know, for holidays and stuff. >> so you bought all your bunny things? >> yeah. >> yeah. see, i saw it coming. >> and they stay fresh a long time, right? >> yeah. so what do you think? fewer peeps. i mean, what are you going to do to adjust guys. >> well, you know, you just go within your budget as best you can. a lot of people. you can't do this. well, i guess you could do this with easter decorations after easter. buy things on sale like people do after christmas. now, i wouldn't want a chocolate bunny that's been around for a year after easter, but i think

fewer peeps would be good for the universe in general. >> oh yeah, you look at what's in it ends up being food waste. that's directly food. >> yeah. >> are you talking about here? norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. i gotta get this deal... that's like $20 a month per unlimited line... i don't want to miss that. that's amazing doc. mobile savings are calling. visit xfinitymobile.com to learn more. doc?

don't worry, because tonight's powerball jackpot is at an estimated. only get out to play when you know it's astronomical. >> yeah maybe it's better just to go for the paltry 10 million. yeah, right. and instead of fighting with all the randos for a billion, your odds are still no better. >> larry. i'm sorry. >> thank you. thanks for uplifting me. >> oh, the odds of seeing some rain, though, on the other hand, are terrific. >> sky high. yeah, yeah, but i'm bummed. >> you're right. sky high and lower than the sky. as a matter of fact, here's a look at live doppler seven. you can see that there is rain falling over parts of the bay area right now. it's been mainly light rain or scattered showers all day. it's getting a little bit more widespread and a little bit heavier in the south bay, as you can see right now. and there will be more waves of rain coming in tonight. this is a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. so for tonight and into tomorrow, more showers are likely with moderate to heavy downpours

tonight and it will be breezy to gusty at times. here's a forecast animation taking us into the evening hours, when we expect to see the heaviest, steadiest, most widespread rain pushing eastward and southward. and then after midnight, we'll see the storm weakening, winding down, and it will be followed by trailing showers through parts of the day tomorrow. so when we go to tomorrow, high temperatures right around are just above 60 degrees for most of the bay area. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast friday a level two storm is coming in that will bring heavier rain gustier wind. it's going to be sharply cooler. that will continue into saturday with a chance of thunderstorms. finally on easter sunday we may see some partial clearing with showers. could even linger into sunday before we see a string of sunny days early next week. larry and kristen. >> all right, thank you, spencer a harrowing holocaust saga coming to hulu tomorrow. we were the lucky ones is based on a novel by georgia hunter reporter george pennacchio, with our sister station in los angeles has a preview. >> my family keep writing to

>> my descendants will know i was somebody. >> they found out about the congressional gold medal, and they wanted to try to get that on behalf of all roses. >> phyllis always marched to her own drummer, and when she had a goal, she went for it. i mean, imagine writing letters for 12 years and getting no results. she didn't let that stop her. >> they are. we can do it. women and they got right back up there. and it passed in november of 2020. we just now have gotten our date for the ceremony in april, so we'll have about roses converging on d.c. for this ceremony. so we're very, very excited.
