"today in the bay's" gia vang reports, critics say it doesn't go far enough. >> reporter: photo after photo showing what caltrans will clean up. >> walking to school on clean streets. we're willing to get unhoused off our streets and into housing to lave dignified life and not be out in the elements. so all of this is actually you know, really chipping at the ice box of public safety. >> reporter: the ten-point plan from governor gavin newsom office, supporting the city including intensifying

maintenance increasing landscaping addressing encampment working on beautification and installing 300 new security cameras secured by caltrans. >> does the city have resources to look at security cameras and actually take action? >> right now we do have our officers in our intel unit. already have some cameras up and so this will just add to that. >> reporter: the player says the city will pay for the upkeep of cameras and adds after inheriting $s 3 0 million deficit reaching out was necessary. not just what the local chapter of the naacp was demanding. >> this plan doesn't cover the fact we need you know, to get a handle on the crime that's come in to the businesses being more secure, neighborhoods being more secure. people feeling more safe in their own homes. >> reporter: the organization came out with its own ten-point safety plan for the city in september including hiring a permanent chief of police. >> they immediate to fill space

approved this message.

welcome back. 7:12 on your saturday morning. actually looks calm in sant clarp ra welcoming a new weekend, but if you were away a little bit ago it was raining. sun is shining, though, over downtown san jose. looks promising for today. we'll see, though. cinthia pimentel will be just along in just a bit with our microclimate weather alert. turning now to decision 2024. we are now just three days away from super tuesday and the contest to fill the late senator dianne feinstein's seat is getting close.

this morning a new poll is showing a very tight race. our cameras were there yesterday as democratic candidate barbara lee cast her vote in oakland. lee is working to move from fourth in the polls to the top two in tuesday's primary. the top two vote-getters regardless of party advance to the general election in november. and a new uc-berkeley poll shows republican steve garvey soaring ahead in the race. garvey shows to have support of 27% of voters. meanwhile, southern california representative democratic adam schiff is currently in second with 25% of poll voters. followedal by katie porter and lee far behind. the spotlight continues to be on the presidential election. "meet the press" moderator kristen welker sat down with an interview with republican candidate and former governor and u.n. babied nikki haley to discuss a variety of topics including whether she believes

former president donald trump would follow the constitution if he were to be elected in november. >> do you think donald trump would follow the constitution if he were elected to a second term? >> i don't know. i don't -- i don't know. i mean, you always want to think someone will, but i don't know. you know, when you go and you talk about revenge, when you go and you talk about, you know, vindication. talk about what does that mean? like, i don't know what that means. and only he can answer for that. what i can answer for is i don't think there should ever be a president that's above the law. i don't think that there should ever be a president that has total immunity toy do whatever they want to do. i think that we need to have someone that our kids can look up to that they can be proud of, and i think we need to have a country of law and order. a country of freedom, and a country that goes back to respecting the value of a taxpayer dollar and we don't

have any of that right now. >> as i do every week, talk to kristen about that interview tomorrow morning at 8:00 after "today in the bay." watch kristen's full interview on "meet the press" as well as an interview with michigan representative debbie dingell. we have you covered ahead of tuesday's primary. point your phone's camera at that qr code on the lefte of your screen. thatill take you directly to our website, nbcbayarea.com. there you can learn more about the big races, the candidates, how and where to cast your ballot. turning now to the cdc with a big announcement. it is time to treat covid more like the flu. people who test positive for the virus no longer have to isolate for five days. yesterday the agency revised its longstanding guidelines. the government agency now aligns with public health advice for flu and other respiratory illnesses. stay home when sick and return to school or work once you're

feeling better and have been fever-free 24 hours. this shift reflects sustained decreases in covid deaths, and the recognition many people are no longer testing for covid. turning now to sports. things are looking up for the warriors coming into last night's game against toronto. won 12 of the last 15 games. starting slow. trailing by 3 at halftime but midway through the third, won't on 16-2 run taking the lead. from there never looked back as the beat raptors 120-105. my cousins are silent on our text thread. their next stop boston and sunday. facing the league's best team. happening today, san jose earthquakes first ever clasico as a home opener. and age-old rivalry between the quakeses and l.a. galaxy. this will be the 99th california

classic and hoping it it significant, because it's the first time the rivals faced off in home opener at paypal park. the game at 7:30. the start. time to check in with cinthia pimentel with a microclimate alert. >> some soccer players love playing in the rain. there you go. you're welcome for a huge home opener but very active as we continue to track that rain and snow. let's get a check of that microclimate forecast. since thursday when the rain started over two and a half inches of rain in santa cruz mountains and of course mount tam as well. we go east and south just under an inch and a half in santa rosa and san jose. barely rained here. on and off. just under half an inch of rain. take it to stormranger and continue to track that. looking at returns right now. heavy over parts of the tri-valley and you see those areas shaded in that blue and light pink? that's snow on top of mount diablo. mountains have gotten really

cold to freezing allowing snow to form. mount saint helena, beautiful when the rain clears out to see that. we continue to see pockets of heavier rain through sunnyvale, parts of milpitas and approaching san jose. not only with rain, hearing and feeling that strong wind as we have that wind advisory with us until 10:00 this morning. good idea to charge everything up. clear all of that debris around your house you don't want blowing in the wind. for saturday plans, hour-by-hour, middle parts of the morning continuing with a chance of isolated heavy downpours as we go on into about lunchtime. before we see this final push of stronger activity into the afternoon and that will be kind of wrapping things up as we go on into tonight and into the midnight hours of sunday. notice that things take a little more of a spotty fashion for our sunday plans.

which could put us at another half inch of rain here. higher returns, of course, for coastal mountains where we will feel those strong winds. as far as those snow estimates for the bay area, exciting, but not like last year, people skiing down mount tam. nothing like that. only looking at parts of mount hamilton through the north mountains getting one to three inches of that light dusting. where we do see heavy, heavy amounts of snow, this is a live camera from our camera up there at palisades. we don't see anything. visibility downright nasty going into tomorrow morning. a blizzard warning. we see two to three more feet locally definitely higher in the mountains. you have been warned about conditions there. i don't see a break in the rain or the snow until we get on into about middle of the week, because we're going to have weak systems rolling around here bringing rain and light snow showers. monday, tuesday and wednesday. a better clearing, however, well-deserved break and more sunshine to kind of make things feel like spring around here

going into late week. of course, i do have that earthquake and galaxy forecast. some like to go there in the rain. enjoy that, if that's you. if not watch at home or the internet. right? san francisco's seven-day forecast coming in hot. make sure you're paying attention. chance of thunderstorms, unsettled weather today into tomorrow. slight chance of rain into monday. going to be really spotty there through the middle parts of the week, and inland seven-day forecast, not only rain, chance of thunderstorms, some snow, but really cool temperatures. really need the thick jackets and blankets. morning lows down into the 30s. start with a frost advisory sunday up there in the north bay and then continue with this chilly weather until we get on into the second half of the week. sun icons finally returning with no chance of rain. thursday, friday or even on into saturday. temperatures back into the 60s. >> like literal light end of the tunnel tmplts is, kira. >> cinthia, thanks.

7:21. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, a bay area doctor on a mission in the middle east. we introduce you to this man and his family here as he works in gaza to treat those who can't get help anywhere else.
