>> good morning here from a very windy and cold las vegas. we got port on earlier this morning with the rain has stopped and the question today seems to be which team is going to win that lombardi trophy. but also people really want to know which player is going to take home that ali title of super bowl mvp. there are 2 names at the top of the list on the chiefs side. it's patrick mahomes, but for the niners its christian mccaffrey and we will start with patrick mahomes because he has done this before. he has already won. not one but 2 super bowl mvps, including last year when the chiefs beat the philadelphia eagles. this one could be even sweeter for the 28 year-old. the chief said have such an up and down season, not the same dominant swear are used to seeing from them. the homes, though, peaking at just the right time for touchdowns and 718 yards passing in the post. so he's an early candidate. but no one can ignore the amazing season that runs cmc has had in the

bay. mccaffrey has had a streak of 17 straight games with a touchdown. 14 scores this season with 1459 yards on the ground. so mccaffrey has now looking to follow in his father, ed's footsteps and try and win a super ball. >> think i've seen running backs are in the playoffs that the most valuable players on their team seen running backs in the playoffs that are extremely talented and have a lot of value this is such a team sport. you know, it's the biggest team game on the planet. to to say that. it's because of one player that the team wins. the super bowl is just not true. i don't think that's ever been so i want to maximize opportunities. i know that. >> they don't. they always come in be in every single super bowl. and so what i would have whenever i'm here, i enjoy it. i enjoy the week and i just try to go out there with the best football like i said a little bit earlier, make a memory that will last forever with a lot of guys that worked really hard.

>> so today that both teams practice and then they have a media availability, it will be the last time that we hear from them as they start to shut things down seclude themselves at lake las vegas. that's that resort. they're staying out about 40 minutes away from here. and then the next time we see them will be here at allegiant stadium for super bowl sunday. >> all right. we've got justine and the gang out there in vegas. and then we're hunkered down here at home. james holding down the fort for super bowl sunday morning. kron 4 morning news special. that's going to be a lot of fun. so stay tuned for that. all right. 8.11 is the time. >> and still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news, san francisco's mission district is ready for niner fans to come out and watch the big game on sunday. we'll hear how some of those businesses are getting ready. >> and san francisco's first indoor ev charging station opens tomorrow. we'll tell you what makes this one different. plus, we continue to follow

are colder. evenings saw that cold fronts coming through yesterday. that's actually what resulted in our late morning rainfall. >> and behind it is the stash of cool air. but dry skies that we do have this morning. cloud cover and rain has pushed off to the east of us now we're kind of an in-between moment between that low and high pressure ridge building in right behind me. so today does stay cool. and we do see a slim chance of maybe a sprinkle or 2 late this afternoon. it's going to be left. nothing like the rain we saw the past couple of days, though, after today. it is smooth sailing on through the rest of this forecast with friday saturday and sunday bringing nothing but the sunshine and dry skies through the big game. as for today's rainfall potential, maybe we literally just a couple of drops trace amounts of rainfall possible. the sierra nevada will see a touch of snowfall, especially tomorrow for your friday. that could result in about a foot of it at the very crest of the sierra we student will have winter weather advisories for you of 70 southward. well, those around lake tahoe expired at 04:00am this

morning. the sierra has done a ton of catch-up work as far as snowfall goes, it was looking grim there for a while. but these past 2 systems have been major snow makers and we're sitting a lot closer to average is. so we're definitely a lot healthier of where we should be for snow pack. temperatures today are going to be mild cool in the low to mid 50's. pretty similar actually to what vegas is going to be feeling like come sunday. if you are flying out for the big game on sunday, expect low 50's a kickoff and some upper 40's by halftime. you know, in the desert temperatures drop off real quick. we will be seeing a low 60's to upper 50's here in the bay area. so by comparison, our temps in the bay will be actually be a little bit warmer and plenty of sunshine will make for very nice weather for getting outside for that backyard barbecue. great. all right, john, thank you for that. well, but a slow go kind of morning. we're pretty much busy. >> lot of our highways from the east bay all the way down to the south bay, even 1, 1, in the north bay as well. if yyu are going to be hitting the roads this morning, give yourself a little more time.

litigation is so i'm going to refer that to the city attorney's wednesday, mayor thao referred all questions to the city attorney's office. however, on the day she fired armstrong almost a year ago, she did reference the federal monitor. it's an absolute requirement that my administration, including the chief of police, be able to work closely with the monitoring team. and to speak credibly before the court. but i am no longer confident that chief armstrong can do the work needed to achieve the vision. so today. i have decided to separate from chief leronne armstrong from the city without cause. i think they've got a strong case attorney michael cardoza has reviewed the claim and says the city of oakland should consider settling and fast to quite frankly, the mayor should have waited. >> for a vet in a full vetting of the case. a full investigation of this case
