thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. let's get you started for the day's news headlines. police believe this is the man who shot and killed oakland police officer tuan le. law enforcement officers say mark sanders faces numerous charges including first-degree murder. he's one of several people behind bars in connection to friday's shooting. officer le was killed after trying to stop a group of burglars near jack london square. police say an suv full of burglars drove right into this bank of america branch in san francisco. this happened today on balboa street in the richmond district. you

can see the front entrance is completely blocked off as crews try to repair the damage. no arrests made yet, and it's unclear how much they got away with. more trouble for bart today. the system dealt with delays after a disabled train was stuck between the north concord and concord stations on the yellow line that's going towards sfo. we're told up to 300 passengers had to get off that train and were transferred onto another one. and in burlingame a cal train hits a car sending them to the hospital at the broadway crossing in burlingame terrace. you can see that car mangled on the tracks there. the driver of that car was injured. so far no word on their condition, but no other injuries were reported. all right, first alert weather now, check out the waves in pacifica. a high surf advisory in effect through early tomorrow morning. officials are warning folks about dangerous surf conditions along the coast. and on top of all that, meteorologist darren peck is keeping tabs on our

winds and the next chance for rain. darren? >> reporter: okay, the primary focus now that the majority of the rain has moved on for now is a bit breezy out there. we'll see the gusts pick up around 20, 25 miles an hour or so and these will be northerly winds. it'll add a little bit of a windchill factor. when we get back together again in the complete forecast, we'll turn our attention to the next storm. that's developing in the gulf of alaska. watch it up there. it's coming down from the north. we'll put it into the long range forecast now because we're able to track that as they work their way towards us. it'll get down here on saturday. so there is a chance of rain coming back for saturday, but this storm is a bit different. we'll go into the detail on why coming up in the full forecast. the rain totals won't be as big. this could be much better news for snow pack in the sierra. all right, let's check out the snow. look at that. that was this morning. the uc berkeley sierra central snow lab said it received more than 10 inches in just 24 hours. that brings their season total to 42 inches, which is about

38% of average to date. and they're expecting even more. now getting to the sierra may be tricky over the next few days. these are the conditions earlier on highway 50 and i-80. our sister station kbr caught up with one sacramento family heading up to the palisades to ski when they ran into trouble this morning. >> we thought the storm would be over by the time we drive. and we swerved on the highway even though we have a four-wheel drive vehicle and we hit the partition. >> luckily everyone is okay, and they were able to get turned back. across the country, a lot of viruses are heading especially the holiday gatherings and the travel. covid hospitalizations nationwide are at the highest level since last february. it's not just covid, by the way. 31 states are reporting high or very high levels of various

other respiratory illnesses. that uptick leaving hospitals in several states and washington, d.c. to bring back masking requirements. >> and it really helps to protect the vulnerable people that are sitting out there in the waiting room right now. >> the cdc says one contributing factor to the rise and illnesses is that people haven't kept up with vaccinations. fewer than 50% of adults are vaccinated for the flu even fewer for covid. with cases of all three likely to have spread over the holidays, pay attention to coughing, fever, fatigue, and try to stay home if you can. a different kind of flu though is hitting farms in two bay area counties, an outbreak of flu in sonoma county has forced some poultry providers to euthanize more than a million chickens and ducks. it was also recently found at a farm in marin county. january ramos looks at how the virus

could have even longer reaching affects. >> reporter: earlier this month, sonoma county declared an agriculture disaster when two poultry farms had to kill their entire flocks to try to keep the deadly pathogen from spreading. uc davis professor says there are very few tools to control it. >> we can't vaccinate because of kind of economic and political reasons. so the only methods of control that we have are quarantine, biosecurity, and depopulation. >> reporter: that depopulation has resulted in the deaths of more than four million birds nationwide, with the highest level of infection right here in california. and on december 28, the latest discovery. an egg farm in marin. the county's ag commissioner won't identify the location, but says there is little they can do about it. >> at this point, you know, the goal is to not have it spread

more than the one side of that, so that's the challenge. >> reporter: it's a challenge because the infections are happening despite rigorous biosecurity measures to try to keep any foreign source out of the farms. >> it is incredibly unnerving. our producers are doing everything they possibly can and again, sometimes you do everything right and you still become a casualty of this disease. >> reporter: that's because the disease seems to be spreading from migratory birds. the slightest dropping from an infected bird that will find its way into the poultry population can be disastrous and even be carried on dust in the wind. they believe the only way to limit the spread is to begin locating poultry farms in areas where there aren't a lot of migratory birds passing through. >> the same way you make daily predictions about weather. we can make daily predictions

about the presence or absence in abundance next to these farms. so the farmers can be prepared to understand where the risk geographically is. >> reporter: which may make it very hard for an area like the north bay to continue as a poultry production center. >> i think this is at some level an issue for the commercial poultry industry. >> reporter: the economics may be the determining factor. the price of eggs nationally has more than doubled since the outbreak began. at a certain point, farmers won't be able to continue to operate in a place where a bird flying past can be enough to put them out of business. here is how quickly this disease is spreading. the first detection of avian flu in the u.s. was in february of 2022. by the end of last month, 16 commercial flocks were euthanized in just the state of california alone. well still ahead, sometimes it feels like you hit every red light when you're driving down the street, right? we look at how a combination of google maps and a.i. could change that

and also help the planet. plus watching our water supply. where we stand as we dry out from the last rain and look towards the next.

that was another way i would smoke once an hour. that didn't work either. all that would happen at some point of the day. i would end up doubling up. other ways that i tried to quit was i stopped buying cigarettes totally. but if i took three puffs off of like 15 friends, those didn't count because they weren't my cigarettes

and they weren't full cigarettes. [laughs] you know, i went through a lot.

a new report shows california was not the place to move in 2023. each year u-haul calculates the number of one-way trips of their trucks to and from each state. at the bottom, california, the fourth year in a row reflected the largest net loss of one-way movers. behind us, massachusetts and illinois. at top? texas for the third year in a row followed by florida and north carolina. texas had a net gain of 174,000 people in 2023. the report provides a snapshot of do-it-yourself

movers, but doesn't account for other rental companies or when they hire a moving company. u-haul says the report does not correlate directly to population or economic growth. all right, getting stuck at a red light could be really annoying. sometimes stressful. turns out it's also bad for the environment. ben tracy looks at how google and a.i. are working to get things flowing better on the roads. >> so we're at an intersection, we're stopped. >> reporter: most of us hate getting stuck at red lights. >> when i see a red light, i'm annoyed. >> reporter: but she is not like most of us. >> when i look at a red light, i see opportunity. >> reporter: her job with google is to make traffic lights like those at three intersections in seattle more efficient and less annoying. >> shift a few seconds from here to there and that shift could have a big impact. >> reporter: google's new project green light system will use their vast maps data base and artificial intelligence to optimize traffic lights around

the world. >> are these intersections coordinated already? >> they're not. >> reporter: the systems suggest changes and city engineers that then decide if they want to implement them. >> we had one case where we moved four seconds from the northeast street for a particular time of day. so that could help reduce some of that stop and go traffic. >> once the system will give you a recommendation, how quickly could you make an adjustment? >> it could take us five minutes. >> reporter: seattle is the first u.s. city to try this. but the program is being tested out at 70 intersections in 13 global cities impacting 30 million car trips per month. google claims they can reduce stop-and-go traffic by 30%. >> it means a lot for drivers and emissions. >> reporter: half of vehicle emissions at intersections come from cars accelerating after stopping. and google thinks it can reduce those by 10%. it matters because transportation is the number one source of planet warming pollution in the u.s.

>> and so intersections are a real good leverage point if you're tackling climate. >> google provides the service for free, and plans to expand to thousands of cities creating what they had call a green wave for drivers. for our latest round of rain, it wasn't a huge soaker. thankfully it doesn't cause major problems like last year's historic storms. even those storms have a silver lining. reservoirs that are filled up well above average. new number from east bay mud show that system's reseoirs are at a combined above normal, 80% above capacity. they report that's a good place to be at this point in the season. >> reporter: it's something that crosses rich harris' minds every time he comes here to lafayette reservoir. >> this is a gem. i've been coming here, i was here opening day. it was 1966, with my little brother, my best friend, and his little brother, and fishing rods. >> reporter: he's been coming here almost every day since those days and he has seen it

all. but after years of a consistent drought, he says the reservoir is looking better nowadays. >> the level looks pretty good to me. i've seen it wash over here and stuff like that, but seems like the rain patterns, they're coming in consistently and not too heavy, you know. >> reporter: that's exactly what's happening all over the bay area these days. >> it is still a little bit early in the season. we have already received about 11 inches of rain. we still have a number of months to go to refill our reservoirs. i would say we're in really good shape this year. >> reporter: andria puck is an east bay spokesperson. we met with her at the command center. >> right here we have our operations center. so this is working people 24/7. what they're working on is ensuring that the water is moving through our system to our customers, so our system is

very complicated. our water will come from 90 miles away in the sierra foothills. it's snow melt majority of it, 90% of the east bay customers water. it flows 90 miles through three large audiocassette ducts. aqua ducts. or it might be held temp it rarely in one of the local reservoirs. >> reporter: and after a few years of drought conditions, she says as of now, there is no concern about it this year. >> we recognize that customer conservation plays a significant role in terms of our water supply. so east bay mud typically will make a call in april on where we are in terms of our water storage for the year. and make an announcement about whether or not we're in a drought situation. >> reporter: that's why rich says he's keeping an eye on what he can do to help at home. >> still not flushing the toilets every time. >> why? >> because we got in the habit

and it is easy. >> other bay area water agencies like san francisco and marin have also reported slightly better than average water storage numbers this year. marin is at 115% of its average. san francisco at 113%. all right, back to our weather. breezy in parts of the bay area this afternoon. the next chance for rain isn't too far off from now. meteorologist darren peck in the virtual view studio tracking it all for us. >> reporter: okay, we're watching the system take its leave with a few light showers out there as we went through the morning hours. things are starting to quiet down with more flu skies and maybe a few cool looking cumulus clouds today. it'll be breezy right there. look at the winds pick up, getting us into the early evening, 25 miles an hour winds. this is not wind advisory strong, but it is breezy enough that you're going to feel that from a windchill factor. so if we look at the daytime highs, these numbers will be in the mid-50s, right

on the mark for average, right where you should be. but if you factor in that breeze, even if it is just a 20 miles an hour breeze for some of these locations, there is a windchill factor on that feeling a little bit cooler as a result. all right, let's see when the next storm gets here. we can see that building out in the pacific and it is staying from the gulf of alaska, coming down from the north. when we put that into the long range forecast, watch it dive straight down. that'll get here on saturday. so we will get some widespread rain right through the middle of saturday right there. it is not a big rainmaker, but it will be a better snow maker in the sierra and at this point, we're going to keep it pretty much confined to saturday. by sunday we should be done with it. and if you look at the snow in the sierra, those numbers are better. it's colder, snow level gets low down in the mountain down to 3,500 feet with a foot and a half of snow falling on the passes, which means two feet or more up in the higher

elevations for many of the resorts, so good news on that front. let's bring back up the math as we'll focus on the other issue today, which is the high surf advisory, which will stay into effect until tomorrow. so we will draw our attention back out to the coast one more time. keep in mind, it won't be as bad as what we had last week and a high surf advisory, a warning. you need to be very careful near the beaches with another swell that's coming our way by friday, so we might be doing that again by the time we get there. let's put it all on the seven-day forecast as we look pretty good here. a chance of rain on saturday. a quarter of an inch of rain there and things should quiet down for the end of that. 49ers head coach just announced the fate of brock purdy for sunday's regular season finale. details next in the red and gold report.

goli, taste your goals.

the 49ers host the l.a. rams on sunday to wrap up the regular season, and we know now it will be sam darnold, not brock purdy, playing qb. as they report even with purdy sitting out, it is already been a record setting season. >> we got it dude. they threw for more yards than anybody else in the history of this organization. >> purdy set a new franchise

record for most passing yards in a single season. he broke the previous mark set by jeff garcia back in 2000. >> it's an honor, you know, to be able to come into an organization with the rich history that this place has. obviously to be able to break a record like that. to me, you know, just being out of it, it's cool. >> fred warner will be juggling more football this off season. they're expecting the first child and they did a gender reveal. >> five, four, three, two, one. whoa. with the red and gold report, i'm vern glenn. >> so much to celebrate there. just over a month away with our first look at how vegas
