steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. right now at 5:30, the u.s. job market continues to outperform expectations with one notable exception. >> tesla announcing a recall of more than 2 million vehicles. and another member of the berkeley city council abruptly called it quits, the second resignation in a month. >> councilwoman kate harrison dropped the mic in the middle of a meeting this week, about
5:32 pm
the she's not dropping out of the race for mayor. >> andrea nakano spoke with harrison and her opponent. >> reporter: this is the last place you would expect a council person to call it quits. >> i wish you all the best, but i resign. >> reporter: right in the middle of a public meeting, but that was the point. >> at this point i feel like the processes in city hall are broken and that people on the council have no idea how bad it is. >> reporter: kate harrison is now in her second term representing district 4, which covers the downtown area. while the announcement was sudden, the decision was not. harrisoned she'd been thinking about it for a while. it came in the middle of a discussion about spending $7 million to put up cameras at several intersections, a project she ultimately ended up opposing. >> so we have seen a steady but slow erosion of democracy. we got rid of the policy committees a few weeks ago. why? that would have been a great place to talk about this
5:33 pm
proposal which has some merits. i feel like people are trying to silence dissent in the city. >> reporter: even her fellow council members like sophie hahn were caught by surprise. hahn didn't get what harrison exactly meant by broken processes. >> i have to tell you that it is a mystery to me. i do not fully understand. i don't even partially understand what she is referring to. >> reporter: because harrison is less than halfway through her second term, the city will now have to hold a special election to fill her spot. it also means harrison's district will lose its representative. >> not having the full number of council members that the people of berkeley expect the city to have means on one or another issue the votes might not be there or fall differently. >> reporter: but by putting the spotlight on berkeley city politics, harrison's hope is in the end the people benefit the most. >> i wish you all the best, but
5:34 pm
i'm resigning. thank you. >> the people of berkeley need a say in what's happening in their town. this town doesn't belong to politicians. it's belongs to us, the people. >> gale robinson dropped his mayoral bid last month and left his city council seat and said city politics is too toxic and there's a special election in district for his seat. it's unclear if district 4 will be added to that or done separately. the job market continues to defy expectations. retailers brought on 45,000 workers in january. the healthcare industry hired 70,000 new employees. jobs in professional business services increased by 74,000. in all, the u.s. economy added 353,000 jobs last month, almost double what economists expected. now the big job numbers come as many major corporations are announcing layoffs. there are also a number of tech companies scaling back from google to

tiktok. tesla is recalling nearly all of its vehicles in the u.s. some warning lights on the instrument panel are too small. the recall includes more than 2 million model s, model x and model 3 cars with the new cybertrucks. the vehicles will receive an online software update. this comes as reuters reports the u.s. safety regulators are stepping up probes into reports of drivers losing steering whole in newer models of the 3 and y vehicles. let's take a live look at sacramento, where legislators are considering a bill that would allow the regulation of driverless cars. meanwhile politicians and union leaders gathered in l.a. to drum up support for the bill. the bill is backed by state senator dave cortessi of san jose. it would make autonomous vehicle companies get approval from local governments to operate. it comes as waymo applied to expand its fleet into bay area suburbs and the l.a. area.
5:36 pm
>> local traffic control has always been the jurisdiction of local communities, always. >> critics point to safety concerns, including incidents of avs blocking emergency vehicles. california companies are already required to have first aid kits. now a new state bill would require those kits to include doses of naloxone nasal spray. that's the emergency medication that canning used to reverse an opioid overdose. san francisco assembly member matt haney introduced the measure as part of a broader push to make this life saving drug more readily available throughout the state. naloxone is effective and safe but needs to be administered quickly, making ready access all the more important. so the hope is measures like this will help stem the tide of skyrocketing opioid deaths driven by the rise of fentanyl. actor carl weathers has died at age 76. weathers' career spanned decades, but he was best known for his portrayal of apollo creed in
5:37 pm
the first four "rocky" films. >> the whole world is going to see the real apollo creed, lightning fast, hard to catch, no plan, no jiving, just business. >> his manager said weathers died peacefully at home thursday. weathers also appeared in dozens of movies and tv shows including "predator" and "the mandalorian" and he also distributed episodes of several tv shows including "including med," "law and order," and" hawaii 5-0". you're touching here, but you're touching someone's soul, someone died and to me that's fascinating and morbid at the same time. plus an estimated 3 billion people worldwide play video games and now the people who bring those games to life are getting

5:42 pm
>> reporter: the museum not only has items like bugsy siegel's glasses and guns, but pieces of mob history from all over the country. >> reporter: janet gasped as she saw the wall where mob members were lined up and shot up. >> it's amazing to me to see actual history in front of me. you're touching here, but you're touching someone's soul. someone died and to me that's fascinating and morbid at the same time. >> we are not here to glorify organized crime. it's very much a part of american history and especially here in las vegas. it's a huge part of our history, but it's not about making these people out to be heroes. >> reporter: mob education director clair white doesn't whitewash what happened in vegas where for a time the mob

growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature.

i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message. paul, we know the rain is coming, but can you give us a sense of timing? >> get errands done saturday morning and saturday afternoon because the heaviest rain will arrive later saturday evening. the first waves of light rain will be here as the sun goes down tomorrow evening. we'll keep you updated. we're always evaluating new information as it comes in, but that's the latest estimate of when the heaviest rain arrives. short term, showers continue, even isolated thunderstorms, most through the central valley. the l on the map is the center of the storm system that sent the
5:47 pm
atmospheric river into the bay area wednesday. there's another ripple in the atmosphere farther out over the pacific. that's going to come in and those two systems will merge and direct the next atmospheric river towards us and that is a problem because the ground is already saturated. we don't want more rain, but that's what's in the forecast, not right now. these are scattered showers and brief little heavy downpours that don't last long, just makes it hard to get things down outside. tomorrow will be another day like this. we'll see scattered showers this evening, overnight and off and on throughout the day saturday. here's the light rain arriving as the sun goes down saturday evening and then the heavier rain will move in between about 10:00 and 11:00 for the southern half of the bay area. it will continue surging north as we head through the rest of saturday night and into sunday morning. wind the clock forward to 10:00 a.m. sunday when this forecast model runs out of data, but we get a new version coming up. i'll have a longer look ahead at 6:00. you can see
5:48 pm
sunday will be a mess, moderate to heavy downpours, similar strength system to wednesday. you're looking at a marginal risk of excessive rainfall in the short term saturday night, but a slight risk down the peninsula into the santa cruz mountains. that's the beginning of the rain event. let's add up how much moisture we anticipate once we see things winding down to showers. this is the rainfall forecast through monday. there will be lingering showers monday, but expecting around 2 inches of rain in san jose. that's the midpoint of the range of possibilities, between 1 to 3 inches that could fall in san jose, similar range inland in the east bay, generally expecting 2 inches of total rainfall. more than that along the coast, over 3 inches of rain anticipated for half moon bay, about 2 1/2 inches of rain for san francisco and the north bay will be very similar to everybody else. you won't necessarily overachieve because this system will come from the south. that evens out the distribution of rain. the range of possibilities with exactly where the fire hose of moisture
5:49 pm
sets up, it jogs farther north, santa rosa could easily double the 2.2 inches of rain we anticipate as the most likely scenario. as the initial waves of rain move in, the slight risk of excessive rainfall down the peninsula into the santa cruz mountains, but that spans to encompass the entire bay area sunday and sunday night. don't be misled by the phrasing. this is the weather prediction center's phrasing, slight risk, which kind of puts you at ease. it means there is an elevated threat of flash flooding and escalating to a moderate risk, another higher category basically from monterey southward along the coast to point concepcion and toward los angeles in the east-west mountain ranges north and west of los angeles where they'll add up likely over 8 inches of total rainfall continuing into monday. this is where the really life threatening scenario is likely to shape up through sunday into the beginning of next week. around the bay area it's going to be a significant windmaker.
5:50 pm
we'll have to deal with very strong wind gusts, especially through the day sunday. the winds will pick up as the sun comes up sunday morning, but really accelerating as the heart of the storm system makes its closest approach, 50 plus-mile-an-hour gusts even at sea level as we head through sunday morning into the afternoon. that's capable of doing a lot of tree damage. be prepared for power outages. make sure the devices are charged up before you go to bed saturday night. it's going to be a wet weekend. the rain arrives late tomorrow, continues, rain and wind in the forecast sunday. then we taper off to showers for monday and tuesday. one dry day on wednesday, fingers crossed, and then just showers thursday and friday, no heavy rain in that latter time frame, something we'll keep an eye on as we have our hands full heading through this busy weekend. >> thanks, paul. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00. >> coming up at 6:00, santa cruz county could be in the bull's eye of this next storm.
5:51 pm
they're expecting several inches of rain on top of the deluge from the last round. so how they are getting ready from the mountains to the coast. plus condos could be coming to this quaint seaside town. it's long been resistant to new development. why locals tell us it may be time for a change in sausalito. the news at 6:00 is coming up in ten minutes. let's go to matt in sports. >> many 49ers players are making their first trip to the super bowl next week, but no one may be more excited than their most experienced player. >> i'm ready to go to vegas. we can go right now. >> trent is ready. he's in his 14th year in the league, but trent williams is playing in his first career super bowl. the 35-year-old is regarded as one of the greatest left tackles of all time and the super bowl title is one of the few boxes he's yet to check off in his career. >> the emotion he showed after the game, even after winning the nfc champion knowing he has
5:52 pm
an opportunity to go to the super bowl means a lot to him. at this point in your career, year 14, did all the pro bowls, all pros and these sorts of things, you want to do something that will cement your legacy forever like being able to win a super bowl is everything. i know it means a lot to him. patrick mahomes is the biggest star on the chiefs. travis kelce's popularity soared since he started dating taylor swift and then there's head coach andy reid. his q factor has gone up over the years. he's even starred in commercials alongside mahomes. >> i don't want to stand up here and sound like a movie star. i'm not very good at that, but i appreciate people enjoying nuggies. >> his bundle commercial with the chicken tendies is one of my favorite commercials in the nfl. >> explain it again with those nuggies. >> george kittle might ask for an autograph. golf, bills quarterback josh allen chugging a beer during the second round at

5:54 pm
>> i think you should maybe leave your debit card with me just to be safe. >> i would appreciate that. you can change the pin. >> he has the corporate card, though. >> yeah, no. it's the debit card. >> the corporate card they already took from me. there's casinos in arizona. i was there a few months ago. >> thanks. still ahead here at 5:00, video games have come a long way since the days of pong. you'll meet a bay area grammy nominee who helps transport gamers into a world imaginable. >> we can take the low big ominous choir and put it in a certain place. we
