6:00 pm
shuttered without warning. the reasons for the closure. good evening, i'm andrea nakano. brian hackney is off tonight. get ready for several days of wind and rain. two storm systems are headed right through the bay area. i'm sure you've had plenty of ugly weather outside where you live. outside in santa rosa this large tree fell down and caused a power outage near fremont park. you can see part of it also fell on a car there. and here's a live look outside at all of the rain in different parts of the bay area. let's get right to first alert meteorologist darren peck who's tracking the storms right now. >> in a lot of ways, this is the most impressive part of the day for rainfall. especially for those of you in marin, sonoma, or napa. there's a very well organized line that's associated with the cold front. the main event, really, of this system. it's just now sweeping through. it's taking its sweet time.
6:01 pm
look at this. it's almost like a red gash in the radar. that's the cold front. that's the boundary where the cold front is able to produce some of the heaviest rain like in the entire life cycle of the whole storm. and it's just kind of parked over the marin headlands right now. but it extends further inland than that. so it's really coming down heavy on mount tam. but that's the view in southern sonoma. that's the view through napa. the primary communities through napa valley are experiencing kind of the weaker side of it, if you can believe that. when we come out for the wider view, watch the line and look at the intersection. the tail end of it will work its way over the city, bay bridge, east bay. we've already had had reports of accidents from this, and there's more rain headed that way. it's going to pick up in intensity. we'll look at that again in a bit. but here's the take away of what this one line has already managed to produce. there's now a flood advisory for much of the locations where we were seeing the heavier rain. it's going to stay in
6:02 pm
effect until 8:30. ponding of water on roadways, low lying intersections. that's the primary concern. if you don't have to be on the roads for the next hour or two up north, good idea not to be. i'll be back with the rest of the forecast. tomorrow's storm is actually more important. more on that in a bit. back to you. people all around the bay area are keeping a close eye on the rivers and creeks. in san jose, the guadalupe river poses unique risks both to the unhoused and housed. >> reporter: santa clara county officials say this storm may not be as intense as some of the storms we've had this year, but it could be more long lasting, and that could be a problem for those living near the rivers. like a lot of people in the neighborhood, jennifer s. keeps a close eye on the water level marks on the alma street bridge over the guadalupe river. >> usually when we have a large storm it gets up to about 14. 17 feet is when we have to move out. >> reporter: she had to
6:03 pm
evacuate her mother back in 1996, but since then, it's only gotten close. still, she took pictures of how swollen the river got two weeks ago in the last big storm. >> sometimes it rains for days and days, and we're okay. but if it rains for too long, if it rains a too long, the river rises too fast! >> reporter: that's a concern of the county as well, especially because of all the recent rainfall. >> the storm has already brought in a lot of rain from that february 4th storm. soils are saturated. >> reporter: the river gets run off from the santa cruz mountain water shed, and when the land can't absorb the water, the river can rise quickly as it runs through san jose. >> we're not expecting it to flood, but we, again, want to make sure the public, you know, is aware that this could potentially occur because of the saturation within the soils here in our county. >> reporter: the river bed is often a place for homeless people to gather, so the county has worked to evacuate them and
6:04 pm
opened warming centers during the storm. but with forecasts that sunday's storm could last for several days, officials aren't taking any chances. the entire bay area is now included in a flood watch. but neighbor jeanne says over time she's learned to be calm about the dire predictions. >> it never reaches the projected in all the years i've been watching. >> you end up being more worried about what's coming than when it's actually happening. even when it's at its worst, it doesn't seem that bad. i think the worry is more the anticipation of what could happen. >> reporter: but it's the thing that could happen that officials must plan for. >> when it does rain real hard, then we are concerned, yes. >> reporter: and they're hoping that like jennifer, the message will be taken seriously. >> san mateo county closed more than half a dozen parks due to the storms. the full list is on the screen right now. that includes places like devil's slide trail. the parks will
6:05 pm
stay closed until conditions are safe. people are taking it seriously up in gernville. charlen haynes lives along a creek that rises fast in heavy rains. she lifted up her belongings on concrete blocks to hopefully protect them from the rain. >> i can't change anything, but i have to prepare. to a degree, for some people, it's disastrous. when you lose your car, when the water comes up to your trailer and floods everything, you don't have any money to do anything, isn't that disastrous? >> haynes says she's still recovering from the past storms without much help from local or state agencies. the monte rio fire department has extra staffing on hand this weekend. stay with us for updates about the storms. find us on air and online at kpix.com and streaming on the free cbs news app. santa clara county is about
6:06 pm
to get a big financial boost in their fight to end homelessness. four south bay representatives announced they've secured tens of millions of dollars in federal funding. that will not go to nonprofits and local governments in the county. >> reporter: the grand total, a little over $39 million. the funding comes from the u.s. department of housing and urban development. i spoke with representative zoe lofgren about where the money will go, why it's needed, and solutions for this challenging problem. communities across the bay area continue their efforts to try and address the homelessness crisis, and santa clara county is not immune. >> every day i hear it from people and see it myself. people living in tents, it's really unacceptable. >> reporter: representative lofgren says the bulk of the
6:07 pm
around $39 million in federal funding, about $29 million, will go to the santa clara public housing. the rest will go to nonprofits that work to address homelessness. >> it's the local governments that are tip of the spear on this. they make all the decisions on zoning, what will be built, and all of that. so the major role that the federal government can play is to provide funding for those efforts. >> reporter: she says the crisis has gotten worse in recent years. >> we've got to dig our way out of this. >> reporter: there isn't a singular reason for the crisis, however lofgren says the housing crash in 2008 still plays a role in where we are today with homelessness and the pandemic brought on more and new challenges. >> some people are living in cars because they don't have enough money for rent. families in cars. children in school who are homeless. that's just absolutely unacceptable. we also have people who have other problems. people with mental health problems, people with substance abuse problems. and
6:08 pm
their problem isn't just housing, it's those other problems as well. >> reporter: as for solutions, there isn't just one. >> well, a multiplicity of things. we need more housing that regular families can afford. that's a building and construction issue. >> reporter: she'd like to see down payment assistance programs, funding assistance for those constructing affordable housing, and aggressive efforts to help those with substance abuse and mental health problems. >> this is a big problem in our community, but it's going to take everybody working together to get ahead of it, and we're trying to do our part. >> reporter: the funded headed to santa clara county will come from huds continual of care program. >> this comes the same weekend that san jose learns they'll have to build tiny homes. the governor was going to send them, but now instead of actually delivering the homes,
6:09 pm
the state is sending the city $12.7 million to build them. the governor's office says it's more efficient for the local government to handle it, but some city officials say the money is not enough to handle leasing and operational costs. today a suspect is in custody after an all day manhunt yesterday. the chp arrested 36-year-old jeffery kendall shortly before midnight during a traffic stop in the santa cruz area. they found a gun in his car. yesterday police found a woman shot and killed inside a home on summit drive. the suspect is booked on homicide and domestic violence charges with more than a million dollar bail. on this rainy weekend, people tend to get out of the wet weather by headed to the library, but people in antioch will have to find another place to stay dry because the library is closed until further notice. the contra costa county library is closed over safety and security concerns after several dangerous incidents in the last
6:10 pm
few months. the library is working to implement further security measures. >> that's horrible. it sucks. you know, i'm not sure why you would do anything towards the library, but it's unfortunate that's the choice some have made. >> the mayor sent a letter to the county administrator saying residents were warned about the library closing. he also went on to say that the county didn't notify his administration or police about any safety concerns at the library. the library's book drop off will also be closed, and people can return their books to any other contra costa county library. still ahead at 6:00, she takes the old and transforms it into one of a kind pieces. a south bay designer's fashion forward solution to keep textiles out of the landfill. >> i think i'm doing the
6:11 pm
planet a favor in my own little way. plus an event involving a lot less clothing. we'll tell you where. and more importantly, why these folks hit
6:12 pm
6:13 pm
heavy snow is expected in the sierra this weekend. if you're planning to head out, keep a close eye on road conditions. those ma made it there today were enjoying the snow. back here in the bay area, a few people were out and about at ocean beach in san francisco despite the windy and rainy weather. we didn't see anyone surfing out there, but we did see some people on the sand staying away from the strong waves. and today's weather was no match for a group of runners raising awareness for a cause
6:14 pm
all while wearing underwear in san francisco. people raced around the block in their underwear and costumes for the cupid undie run. the event raises money for research for a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. >> it can be really, really self-conscious. so this is an opportunity, no one is comfortable in their underwear, so it's celebrating being uncomfortable by running in their underwear. no matter the weather, we run in our underwear or costumes and support people that don't necessarily feel good in their skin. >> all proceeds benefit the children's tumor foundation. the goal is to raise $30,000. >> oh, did they have good timing today. >> they really did. we keep hear, though, about the back to back atmospheric rivers coming in. this first one didn't feel, at least to me because i'm not a weather expert, but
6:15 pm
it didn't feel like an atmospheric river. we'll go to the charts. and i think this term is used so much, it's a valuable tool to recognize certain characteristics of storms before they get here. this one was a weak one. tomorrow's might be a little stronger. let me explain. take a look at the live satellite and radar. that's the two storms lined up. right away, when you look at this, you can see widespread rain from the storm today, and a little bit of a tail right there extending back towards hawaii. there's the second storm. that's going to link in and take advantage of that too. so we're going to switch our vantage point. instead of looking at satellite and radar, we'll just look at water vapor in the atmosphere. there's the concentrated plume of water vapor that's gotten picked up from down near hawaii and wrapped up into this system. that's today's storm. the next storm is right here. and it's going to pick up the left overs of the same plume and pull that into it, and do a better job of using it. here's why i would say that. the organization that has pioneered our understanding of
6:16 pm
atmospheric rivers and how important they are to getting a hands up on them before the storm arrives is the scripp's institute in san diego. they're the ones that put out these forecasts. this is the forecast for tomorrow's atmospheric river. there's now, there's today's, there's tomorrow. when you get into the green like that, this line is showing you the the forecast for the intensity. what level on a scale of 1 to 5 will this atmospheric river be? tomorrow's is going to be a 2. today's was barely a 1. and it's a wider bar, meaning it will be around for a longer period of time. and what does the 2 mean? well, if you get a 2, that's a weak atmospheric river. it can have a balance of beneficial and hazardous conditions because we need rain here, and these types of storms have a very good way of giving us the rain we need. we don't want the 4s or 5s. those are the ones that we'll really make a big deal about before
6:17 pm
they come. those are crucially important to recognize before they get here. these are already like buzz words because it gets people's attention. tension technically this will have an atmospheric river. but before we get to that, look at today's. that cold front from today's storm just moved across the north bay. so you still have the flood advisory until 8:00 tonight. ponding of water on roadways, low lying intersections. here's what happens next with this system for tonight. you can see the cold front right there. the really well organized line. that's going to slowly work across the rest of the bay. i don't think it will be as intense for the rest of us as it has been over the last two hours in the north bay. but everybody should notice the rainfall pick up in intensity a little bit over the next two hours. then by 8:00, it really quiets down. this is the most impressive part of the storm, and it's also almost near the end. so give it a few more hours and we'll get a break for the first half of tomorrow. look at that opening before the
6:18 pm
next storm gets here. we'll bring that one on shore now. if you have outdoor plans for sunday for the first half of the day, you'll be okay. let's play that forward now. watch the timing. the leading edge of the widespread steady rain from storm number two with a somewhat more beefed up atmospheric river. category 2, which is weak to moderate. that's going to get here by the early afternoon. and then this is going to be pretty much steady rain from 1:00 in the afternoon until 1:00 in the morning. so the whole second half of sunday is heavy rain. then once we get into tuesday, the second phase of the storm is going to show up. see that little circulation right there? that's the center of the area of low pressure that's behind this, and when we get into the middle of that, the storm takes on a totally different character. now it's not widespread, steady continuous rain, but it's isolated on again/off again downpours and
6:19 pm
thunderstorms. and some could be intense. that's one of the headlines for this storm for monday morning into the afternoon. monday morning into the afternoon, and even tuesday will have stragglers from it. when you add it up just from sunday through the tuesday storm, we're looking at province two inches of rain in the north bay. about an inch and a half everywhere else. because of that, there's a flood watch. so the flood advisory for tonight is just through 8:30. there's a separate flood watch for everybody just to raise the awareness. we'll probably get more road flooding from sunday through wednesday. chose are kind of the headlines here. but we haven't talked about wind yet. in the next half hour we'll talk about why the next two days will be windy, but they're not going to be anything like that intense wind storm from february 9th. we'll talk about the wind, though. more on that in a bit. it's raining in the bay.
6:20 pm

the day in the lead. history was made this week when it was announced that jenny cavnar would become the full time television play by play announcer for the oakland a's. she's the first woman to earn this role in the major leagues. vern glenn caught up with her before she went to spring training. >> reporter: first of all, is your head spinning? >> oh my gosh, vern i'm telling you. i get the historical context of what's just happened, and a little bit of this happened in 2018 when i became the first woman to call a major league game in quite some time. but no, i think i'm overwhelmed with gratitude more than anything. the amount of people, friends and family that have reached out, but then the amount of people in the baseball industry. you just feel really good about the time you spent, the relationships you built, and it's been pretty overwhelming. >> reporter: when i saw you as the kicker story on the cbs evening news, i was like oh
6:25 pm
snap! this is a national story! >> finally tonight history is being made in major league baseball when the oakland a's naming jenny cavnar as their lead play by play announcer. >> reporter: what's it like going as someone that tells the story to now being the story? >> right, it's uncomfortable in our world. we're not supposed to be the story. journalism rule 101. but my mom was like finally, i think this is a big job now if my mom saw me on national television. so yeah, it's very interesting. but i've also understood the importance of why this is the story, right? it's bigger than just me getting a dream job, which it is, and one i've worked really hard for. but the story is more the fact that the next generation is going to have a lot of opportunity because there's representation across the board, across sports, across women seeing themselves in different roles and what they can do. very different than when i grew up in high school knowing i wanted to be a sideline reporter. i'm
6:26 pm
just excited to be a part of that conversation and really honored. >> it's going to be awesome to listen to her in the booth. very well deserved. >> yes, and i think the bay area is going to love her. she is just a great person, just very humble as you can see from just talking to her there with vern. i think she'll be great here. >> i'm looking forward to it. >> thanks, matt. coming up in our next half hour, a new beat for a former bay area police chief. the role keeping him connected to his community. plus, four candidates vying for feinstein's senate seat. what sets each of them apart in the california senate race. and later, what's old is new, and it's benefiting our planet. how a south

6:29 pm
from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. >> we're multiracial, multigenerational, we're a coalition of conscience that's going to get our voters to the poll to be in the top two. vote for barbara lee two times, it's okay! now at 6:30, congresswoman
6:30 pm
barbara lee's campaign trail runs through san francisco as she tries to drum up some much needed support. by now, you've probably received your ballot for the march 5th race that's less than three weeks away. one of the races is for the seat belonging to the late dianne field with more than two dozen names on the ballot, but there are for front runners. democrat adam schiff leads the latest poll. democrat katie porter from irvine, and former la dodger and republican steve garvey are tied at 15%. and lee from oakland is trailing with 7%. whoever wins the senate seat will have some big shoes to fill. >> anybody know what a filibusterer is? >> reporter: donna crane is a political advisor is the san jose state university. but before going into act academics, she was a long time lobbyist in dc often working with people like feinstein.
6:31 pm
>> she brought a tremendous amount of gravitas to the job, so filling that role will be nearly impossible for anybody. >> reporter: whoever fills the seat will have to bring their own style of leadership to washington. >> we have the chance to continue to play a big role in the senate, but it's going to look different. >> reporter: front runners adam sciff and katie porter are already known on a national stage. sciff for his involvement in the impeachment proceedings of president trump. >> we must say enough. he has betrayed our national security, and he'll do so again. he has compromised our elections and do so again. >> reporter: and katie porter for her white board breakdowns. >> it costs $763 per pill. i'm curious, did the drug get substantially more effective in that time? did cancer patients need fewer pills? how did you change the formula or production to justify this price increase? >> reporter: but long time
6:32 pm
house representative barbara lee from oakland is having a more difficult time gaining traction statewide. >> she's probably suffering from the fact that she's not quite as skilled as raising money because she's represented oakland and berkeley and not seen as as much of a national figure. >> reporter: that's a major concern for bishop bob jackson at the gospel church in oakland. >> she understands the polite of the inner city and what's going on. especially with people of color, and people less fortunate than others. so having that understanding goes a long way. >> i look at politics and public service as going able to not tinker around the edges, but dismantling the systems that are barriers for full and equal opportunity for everyone. >> reporter: bishop bob says he's worked with barbara lee many times over the years and worries the state won't be fully represented if both the state senators are from southern california. >> barbara lee doesn't have
6:33 pm
the kind of money that's backing her, but she's from northern california. so where are we going to be if all these southern california people begin to win the senate race and become senators for the california, will we be represented? will we have a voice? >> reporter: but according to crane, that's been a long standing issue in the senate since there are only two for the entire state. a lesson she's teaching to her u.s. politics class. >> this is a really, really important seat for california. we have just started talking about this race in my classes. there is no state as big and diverse as california is, so we have a special challenge in finding someone who can equally represent both regions, the north and the south. >> reporter: california's primaries are somewhat unique in that the top two vote getters will move forward to the general election regardless of their political party, so that means we could actually see two democrats facing off in november. >> so let's not count out the
6:34 pm
leading republican steve garvey. the former dodgers star is offering himself up as an alternative to the democrats and has a good shot of advancing to november. >> steve garvey just has to be fine to be second place. that's because republicans kind of stay home to party. democrats scatter all over. it's a deeply blue state. and there are other republican candidates like, for example, eric early. but steve garvey is clearly in the driver's seat. >> again, the california primary is march 5th. stay with us, we'll bring you more election stories from our communities as we approach voting day. the group hoping to recall oakland mayor thao had a kickoff event today. they need 25,000 signatures to qualify for the ballot in november. meanwhile, the mayor
6:35 pm
temporarily stepped away from her duties after her mother died this week. some people are also trying to recall district attorney pamela price. former president trump is back on the campaign trail saturday, the day after a judge ordered him to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties for inflating his assets to receive favorable loan terms. >> that's the real deal! >> reporter: former president trump at a traveling sneaker show event, sneaker-con, in philadelphia saturday, unveiling his high tops a day after the judge ruled he'd have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars by inflating his assets and conning banks, exaggerating their value by as much as 2300%. >> it's a very sad day for, in my opinion, the country. >> reporter: the judge ordered trump to pay more than 254 million. the former president
6:36 pm
was also banned from running a business or applying for loans in new york for three years. his sons, don jr. and eric were each fined $4 million and banned for two years. the suit was brought forward under a state law that allows prosecuting fraud in business dealings. >> the scale and the scope of donald trump's fraud is staggering, and so too is his ego and his belief that the rules do not apply to him. >> this whole thing is very unfair. >> reporter: the judge said of trump and the other defendants, their complete lack of remorse borders on pathological. on trump himself, who took the stand two times, the judge said his refusal to answer questions directly or in some cases at all severely compromised his credibility. >> now the penalties could be even bigger than $355 million. the new york attorney
6:37 pm
general's office says it could grow to $450 million with interest. this is on top of the more than 88 million he owes writer e. jean carroll after a jury found he sexually abused and repeatedly defamed her. vice president kamala harris met with ukrainian president zelenskyy at a security conference in munich. harris says the u.s. stands unyielding in support for ukiah. zelenskyy pressed partners for more assistance in the war with russia. this comes as a $60 billion u.s. military aid package has been held up in congress since december. >> it has been a source of our pride and our commitment to democracy and to democratic principles to support you in every way we possibly can. >> the key issue for us now is the issue of principle,

american support. russian opposition leader alexei navalny has died in a russian prison. he fought against corruption and organized protest against vladimir putin. he was serving a 19-year prison sentence when russian officials said he fell ill on a walk and died. world leaders have pushed back on that claim, with president biden saying putin was responsible for his death. tributes have been pouring in for alexei navalny across russia, but at a memorial in st. petersburg, a human rights group reported police detained dozens of people that stopped to leave flowers for the late russian opposition leader. the group also says dozens of people were also detained at a memorial in moscow. last night dozens of people gathered in downtown san francisco, many from russia, to hold a candle light vigil outside city hall. some held signs that said alexei navalny was murdered. others that said to not give up. still ahead here at 6:00, fast fashion as become a hot trend, but it's also pressing

6:41 pm
into we all like to look and feel our best, and sometimes new clothes help us do that. but it comes as a cost. each year, more than 11 million tons of textiles, mostly clothing, ends up in landfills. in tonight's project earth, elizabeth cook shows how one bay area woman is creating an unusual solution one stitch at a time. >> reporter: tucked away in a san jose store front, clothing designer jocelyn west is hard at work on her new collection. >> i'm getting ready for
6:42 pm
spring. these are linen dusters made from old, um, hand embroidered table cloths. >> reporter: old, vintage table cloths once destined for a landfill are practically given away at flea markets. >> i'd find things and just be amazed at what i was looking at and how undervalued they were. >> reporter: in her hands, jocelyn transforms unwanted linens. >> this was a blanket. >> reporter: into one of a kind masterpieces. >> i think this one is beautiful. >> amazing, special. >> really beautiful design. >> reporter: jocelyn is practicing the art of what's called up cycling. >> saving things that otherwise would be discarded or no longer needed or used such as table cloths and giving them new life and purpose and finding the beauty in them. this is all hand made lace and linen. >> reporter: her unique hand
6:43 pm
made garments stand in stark contrast to the trend of fast fashion. that's the mass production of cheap, stylish clothes now flooding the market. research shows consumers are likely to discard fast fashion only after a few wears. most of it ends up in landfill. as the clothing decomposes, it releases methane, 20 times as potent as carbon dioxide. >> it's not worth it. it's not north what you're doing to the planet. >> reporter: back at the store front, among her most popular garments, these warm, light weight sweaters for toddlers made out of cashmere scraps. they often sell out first. >> they're pretty and people like them and they're very durable. >> being able to use old table cloths or jackets or blankets and then giving it a new life just makes it feel so much more
6:44 pm
special. >> i love the idea of up cycling, right? and fashion together. >> i try to up cycle whatever i can instead of throwing away. i really appreciate when we do have more creative people doing that. >> i think i'm doing the planet a favor in my own little way. >> reporter: 1 in 5 americans now up cycles. it's a fashion forward solution that hopefully never goes out of style. >> and between 8 to 10% of total global emissions come from the fashion industry. for a look at the research behind fast fashion and textiles, head to kpix.com. coming up, from patrolling the streets to patrolling the sidelines. a former bay area police chief with a new beat. >> for me, it's just a perfect segue into how to enjoy your retirement. and we've been watching

6:47 pm
rain has really picked up in certain areas over the last hour. we bring in our first alert meteorologist darren peck with more on the next storm to
6:48 pm
come. darren? >> and i'll take a moment on that because we started on the 5:00 newscast and could see this well organized line of heavy rain just about to move in. boy, if you've been in the north bay the last three hour, we've been watching it. there are some flood advisories to talfront right there. you see that well organized line? it's had it in for the north bay. marin, napa, sonoma have really seen the downpours pick up. it's starting to move across the peninsula now, and we'll come in for a closer look at the southern edge of it. you can see the heavier rain just parked over san francisco, or just coming in over the southern edge of the city and the peninsula, and then extending up through marin over toward southern sonoma, southern napa. that line right here is going to come across san mateo county and work its way, and probably hold together
6:49 pm
by the time it gets gets to the east bay. i think the mountains will absorb a lot of energy, but not all of it. as a result, there's more flood advisories. it was just sonoma county, now marin and napa are included. napa, yours goes until 9:30. just give it some time. this is not a good time to be on the road in the north bay. this is primarily focused on flooding on roadways, but any of the rural streams and creeks could also be approaching their banks. it's been enough rain over a short period of time. and just to show you what happens next, you can kind of see the line here looking at it on futurecast. we're already through this. it's kind of like the grand finale of today's rain. but we have to give this really into the 8:00 hour before we start to really quiet things down. there will be some stragglers overnight especially in the far north bay. but it's really between now and 8:00 and this storm is done. then we look to the next one. i spent a lot of time in the last visit talking about this one, and i didn't
6:50 pm
get to what could be one of the more important parts of this, which is the wind. let's talk about that for a moment. i think when we hear wind right away, for a lot of people that experienced it february 9th, the intensity of that wind storm was really unique, and this is not going to be that. and here's why. that storm on february 9th went through rapid intensification and developed right off the coast, and we felt the center of it. look where this one is. it's gone through some pretty quick intensification. it's a strong area of low pressure and has nasty wind wrapped up in the center of it. but it's hundreds of miles out there. so we won't feel that part of it. but we are going to feel a different part of it. watch what happens as the system migrates our way. we don't get the center, but you see this little limb out here? that's part of the initial cold front that comes through. we'll feel that as the first uptick in wind. that's going to be on sunday through morning and afternoon. and then things will quiet down for a little bit. then the wind will pick back up on monday. monday through the late morning. let's come in
6:51 pm
for a closer look at this actually. here's the first limb that comes in. look at the bands of purple over the coast. those are 50 miles per hour gusts. but it's not getting to the coast. putting this into the high resolution forecast. here's the first hit sunday morning. this model was showing 50 for most communities with that last storm this far out. this storm is showing 30. that's a good sign. but it will be windy in the morning. as we watch the line of heavier wind come across the coastline, we're still in this into sunday night. then you'll think the wind is done. then the second little impulse will come through, and this one might be a little stronger. along the coast we're getting to 40 miles per hour gusts. this is getting us into monday morning and afternoon. if you remember from the last visit, this is also when we'll be at a higher possibility for isolated thunderstorms and brief downpours. monday morning and monday afternoon could be
6:52 pm
an exciting time frame for this storm from an isolated thunderstorm standpoint, and the winds will pick up. while it's not an incredibly gust, there's still enough, especially in the peninsula, we could have more downed trees. the ground will be really saturated after today's drenching and the drenching that will come on sunday. then after both of those, the next day, we'll put 40 miles per hour gusts on the santa cruz mountains. so that does become a concern. there's a likelihood of some localized power outages, but not to the degree we had on february 9th. important distinction there. and the only other element i just want to show you again is monday. here come the isolated thunderstorms on monday through the late morning into the early afternoon. this system has better ingredients than any we've seen so far this season to produce intense thunderstorms. some of them in the central valley might even pick up some rotation. and that is not unheard of. you can get weak tornadoes in the central valley of california. and february and march are the most
6:53 pm
likely times to have that . ands one of the more likely ones to do it. but ef-0s, they're like the weakest kinds. it's not unheard of, and it's really not all that out of the ordinary. there's the seven-day forecast. we'll stay in first alert status through tuesday, and then we'll be done by wednesday. andrea, back to you. >> thanks, darren. i still see friday and saturday rain too! scary! up next, he traded in his badge for a whistle and a white board. vern glenn catches up
6:54 pm
the economy is simply not working for millions of hard working families. they're working harder than ever and they still can't make enough to get by to afford food and medicine to even keep a roof over their heads.
6:55 pm
we need to build more housing that's truly affordable. we need to address this terrible epidemic of homelessness. we need to invest in good paying jobs, union jobs and investments in our future. this, this is why i'm running for the us senate. i'm adam schiff and i approve this message.

long time dragons head coach lou richie asked him to help out. >> for me it's a perfect segue in enjoying your retirement. being around young people that give you energy, watching them development, and being able to help them any way you can. >> i think the whole coaching staff has been enamored with the work he's done. some people didn't know he used to play, that he was a coach, that he was a ref. >> when you rebound, we win. let's do it. let's go. >> reporter: armstrong is no stranger to the hard wood. he played in high school, and in college at sacramento state. are you also one of those guys, boys when i played. >> well, you always got to have those stories, right? you always have to be one that says hey, i used to could shoot the three really well. when you're giving them tips, they can respect that. particularly when they hear you played in college. they say okay, i'll
6:58 pm
listen to you a little bit more because you have experience. >> block out, block out, rebound! captains, captains, captains! >> yeah, i didn't know he played actually until recently. i didn't even know he was the chief of police until a few practices ago. yeah, he definitely brings like, he's always positive and you know he knows what he's talking about. >> he has a lot of knowledge to transfer to the younger generations. >> i've taken the role of going in and calming them down and try to get them to refocus and motivate them to get back out on the floor. that's been my role this year, and i really feel good about that. >> i want to thank you guys for welcoming me into the basketball family and seeing what this year brings for us. hard work, man, i appreciate it. let's keep it going. >> reporter: from chief to coach. the one constant for
