can feel it here. as the week gets closer to game time, the build up can be felt everywhere. our hallways that were empty on monday and tuesday are suddenly packed with fans of any of the 32 nfl teams, but obviously 49ers and chiefs heavy. >> that's brady. that's our. >> it's also a time when the big hitters on and off the field show up. mr. las vegas, wayne newton everybody is trying to get this bills quarterback josh allen pitching subway sandwiches and a guy that 49ers saw twice this year has gone from obscurity to record setting rookie receiver puka nacua. >> it was one heck of a year. it's so fun and i'm glad i came out healthy and we have to ask you, as a guy who's seen the 40 niners twice already this year, if you have to pick somebody this week who do you think has the edge? uh, i'm an offensive guy, so i'm gonna go with the best. the chiefs i think the chiefs, they got a good offense

with that guy. number 15 back there who's pretty crazy. >> 40 niner fans will always have a soft spot in their hearts for tight end vernon davis, who's written a book with the foreword authored by his former coach, mike singletary. >> the story about him sending me to the locker room, that's a that's a powerful story because it goes back to the connection that we were able to like, create over time. it's very inspiring when you hear what he has to say about some of the challenges that i had to face and that he inspired me to, to push the push the limits to get even better hype about the game isn't the only thing that builds hall of fame finalists. >> find out today if they receive their sports ultimate honor. davis's teammate patrick willis is expected to be voted in. >> he deserves it. i mean, you're talking about a guy who played at the highest level when it comes to playing the linebacker position. he deserves it. he deserves it. we wouldn't have been able to win all of those games without him. i started crying, uh, to think to be elevated into the highest level of your sport in terms of

your accomplishments. >> yeah, it's really gripping. and it was just like i said, i was in tears. it really is the ultimate honor for a football player. it is the ultimate honor meant a lot. i didn't know how i was acting. >> i probably was relieved because it was eight tries, but yeah, it's a feeling that you don't. >> you don't get every day. guys want to be super bowl champs. they don't want to be hall of famers. >> by the time we get to thursday of super bowl week, you have to remind yourself this is probably the only thing with this much buildup for what is ultimately just a 3.5 hour event. so guys, a little bit of drama tonight is obviously they're going to find out who the new hall of fame inductees are. that's a little bit later this evening. in addition to all the postseason awards. so we'll find out who the offensive and defensive mvps, all those various things rookies of the year. that's all coming up tonight as we continue to build. but no question about the fact you can feel that it's getting closer and closer to game time

and you can feel the anticipation among all the people here. >> yeah, you can get that sense even. from here. you know, the energy is brewing in las vegas as we get ready for super bowl 58. i asked you this question on monday, and i want to ask it again because here we are three days later. but just walking around town, the vibe, joe, is it leaning towards san francisco or leaning a little bit more towards kansas city? >> yeah, very much so. toward the 40 niners. and that opening night was a good example of that. you know, they had a big screen up there and they were showing the various different players. and yeah, you know chiefs players who are pretty popular everywhere else. pat mahomes travis kelce, they were getting booed by the people and they didn't really know how to react to that because there's so many 40 niners fans here. i would say it's a maybe, you know, two or 3 to 140 niners fans, probably because of the proximity to kansas city. >> i know the players would love to hear that on sunday. it's almost like a home game. it'd be great. yeah, they have that. >> all that fan base behind you.

congresswoman barbara lee, who responded saying they were working on it. and in the meantime, she kept trying to catch the mail carrier in person to collect her mail. >> i was like, stand on the corner in the rain with my umbrella looking for the mail carrier. >> last month, she says usps called her and let her know a new lock was coming and would be installed within seven days, but that was more than two weeks ago. finally, at a desperation, i called channel two. you guys, within a half an hour, boom. within a half an hour after the lock was installed. so i was happy. >> and it's not over, she says her mail carrier told her he did not have a key to unlock the new master lock. >> what? you don't have the key? >> you've got the lock and. but you don't have the key. stillwater filed a complaint this week, citing damages for the five months she was forced to travel to the post office or stand on the curb. >> and a usps spokesperson tells

me that they can expect the residents here to start getting their mail delivered by tomorrow . they say they don't know why or how the lock was damaged in the first place. they also say in general, in these kinds of cases, they work to resolve them as soon as possible. i'm live in berkeley. julie, back to you. >> all right. crystal thank you. >> oakland police today released photos of a vehicle wanted in connection with a homicide last month. investigators are looking for a black four door lexus es 350. they say the vehicle appears to have distinctive damage right there on the front fender and driver's side. the car is part of an investigation into a deadly shooting on january 13th ithe area of 94th avenue, in a stre. detectives are urging anyone with information abt this vehicle or those associated with the vehicle to contact police. >> a sinkhole that opened up in san francisco's mission district has been repaired. the eight foot wide hole started forming yesterday afternoon near 14th and guerrero streets. at least

weather's stable like this with high pressure, that's when the fog shows up. that's when you get the freeze advisories and the frost advisories and things like that. and so, you know, you don't often see you don't see frost advisories when it's raining. right? you just you don't see frost advisories when it's cloudy typically either. so there we go. and then outside tonight it's going to be chilly. overnight lows will get down into the mid and low 30s. so santa rosa 3334 napa 34. you'll find 32 probably up in healdsburg 32 and mount saint or in saint helena as well. so what's happening? it's kind of mild. not a lot going on right now except for the cool mornings and that frost advisory. when i come back, we'll go looking for rain. though the weekend is just around the corner. we'll peek at saturday and sunday two. i'll see you back here all right bill, thank you. >> still to come, thousands of pga customers remain in the dark tonight. days after this recent storm. >> also, there's plenty of cleanup yet to be done in bethel island after a dock gave way in strong winds and heavy rain. plus that's. >> i'm a 40 niner fan from the very beginning. >> one senior home on the peninsula cannot wait to cheer

had these documents, but i cooperated and i never willfully tried to destroy or keep or conceal classified documents. >> recent polls have shown that a majority of voters, including democrats, say president biden's age is a problem as he runs for a second time. former president trump, also lashing out at the special counsel report today, portraying himself as a victim of a, quote, two tiered system of justice. he is scheduled to go on trial in may. in his classified documents case, mr. trump has said that he did nothing wrong. julie and mike. >> all right, heather, thank you. the us supreme court heard arguments today over a colorado court's effort to keep former president trump off that state's ballot. fox's rebecca castro reports on how the justices are navigating unchartered legal territory. don old trump and colorado voters who want him off the presidential ballot had their day in court the nation's most powerful for that matter. >> i thought it was very it's a very beautiful process.

days or weeks. >> i think if you ask the people of colorado, the consensus of those people would be we can be trusted to elect whoever we want to elect. >> the justices spent almost no time debating whether trump actually did engage in insurrection. on january 6th. trump has repeatedly said he was not trying to incite violence during the capitol riot, and says his speech was protected by the first amendment from the supreme court. rebecca castor, fox news turning now to the war in ukraine, ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has fired his top general. >> there had been speculation this was going to happen after reports that tensions were growing between the president and army chief, morale is said to be low and the military is facing shortages of ammunition and personnel as the war with russia enters its third year, the us senate is now working on a deal to send wartime funding to ukraine and israel. all this comes as lawmakers rejected a long awaited compromise that

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. four years of history behind it, but some super fans are putting decades of allegiance on the line, and the form of a friendly wager. new at six ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary spoke to the fans who say their fandom keeps them young. it's all right. >> let's.

>> days before the big game and a group of the game's most loyal , long suffering fans rallying for the red and gold. >> the first time i went to a niners game was at, uh, kezar stadium. and i joke that i still have splinters left in my, uh, behind at brookdale senior living in redwood city, decades long, 40 niners fans wearing their colors at a mid-afternoon happy hour in hopes of inspiring their team to a super bowl victory. >> yeah, this includes unofficial team captain 90 year old martha campana rooting for the niners since 71. >> my husband and my son went to raider games and they went and i thought, well, i'd like to know what this is all about. and we got the four tickets to go at candlestick. >> her marriage survived the gridiron split. martha developing a second lifelong love and obsession in the bears dolls pictures and posters reflect attendance at dozens of

games and five 49ers super bowls. >> third and ten montana. >> i like all the hoopla. i like all that stuff. you know, i enjoy going, but i enjoyed going to every game. >> even though on the twilight of their lives, the seniors here are up for a challenge, quite literally. hey similar aged chiefs fans in kansas city posting on facebook saying supporters of the losing team would have to share a congratulatory video to their rivals. >> we want the niners to win. go niners. >> it doesn't matter your age, you can be in a wheelchair, you can move your arms, you can move your legs a little bit. whatever it is, the more most important thing is moving. don't stop moving. >> three in and these fans say they'll never be too old to fully enjoy their team's quest for the ultimate football success. you know, my nurse in

redwood city, jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. all righty. >> coming into friday now, the weather is looking pretty good. let's do the long range thing that we do, the model and we'll take a look at seven days worth of potential weather. these models are pretty fat in terms of the grid size, which means they're not real resolved down to small small detail. they're more like, oh, big picture. so here we go. there's the ridge of high pressure. keeps everything to the north. there's saturday afternoon, there's some clouds at sunday afternoon. looks good. so right up to the weekend looks money. and then bam you get in here. now look at this guy out here. you think, okay, this is going to this is going to go off. but the high kind of breaks out high kind of shears it apart. and then behind it you go, oh look at that. that looks pretty good too. but it looks like this high pressure. these are these lines that are um, these lines right here that see that little bump and those blue lines. that's the high pressure. and it's kind of broad band of it too. so it might be enough to knock that thing, knock it in

two or just knock it to the north. so we'll see. so what i just show you i showed you it looks like we're going to be dry for a while, certainly through the middle of next week. and maybe into the early part, maybe into the next weekend. we'll see. earlier models had gone off of that and been a little different. all right. and the last thing i'll tell you is when you meteorology talks about we talk about models. we don't say we don't we don't say we talk about guidance. we go, oh, these models are guidance. they're not resolute. they're not facts. so they're just like, okay, use this model and then use this model in conjunction. so i showed you one model out of an array of many that we would look at and go, okay, this is going to do i just like that one model because it's, it's uh, it's not my weather computer quite frankly. that's why i like it. but there's a lot of other ones too. these are the temperature departures from yesterday. this is the frost advisory that has been extended now north, south. so you got in inland bay valleys usually not around the bay, but that means scraping some ice in the morning on the windshields mostly above freezing. and again you get frost without on windshields for sure on surfaces

above freezing, you can get frost at 38 degrees and the right humidity. so here are the forecast. cloud cover conditions for tomorrow or for friday morning. and then friday afternoon. that looks great. so friday's ridiculous. that's a great day. look at saturday. little fog in the valley. and saturday looks good too. and then sunday you'll see these clouds kind of start to push in inland. so the forecast highs tomorrow like today it's february. those are makes sense. you know the average temperature right now in february though is usually like upper 50s even some low 60s. sacramento's average temperature is 60 degrees this time of year. so these are the five day numbers. it looks pretty good. looks like something towards the middle end of next week. you guys enjoy the weekend. looks really nice. >> all right bill thank you. the oakland roots missed the playoffs by a single game last year. but the 2024 squad is back and better. a look ahead at the team's prospects this this year

this ad? typical. politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up. with katie porter. porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message.

one thing has remained constant the oakland roots ktvu frank mallicoat was at media day today celebrating the soccer team's sixth season right here in the

bay area. >> time to get pumped up because soccer is back. oakland roots style. >> we've been working very hard in preseason. we have some new additions to the team that we're very excited about. um, had some good games and looking forward to the upcoming preseason games that are going to come right now. >> like the city, oakland's roots are diverse. they're 19 players represent 12 different countries, including second year defender brian tamaki's, the captain of el salvador national team. he is one of the most popular players in that country, and whenever we post about him, it just goes viral in there. >> in el salvador more than anywhere else. yeah like messi status. i would say for el salvador, there are people as big as messi. >> fresnos johnny rodriguez is the roots cover boy. he led the team with a dozen goals last season, and the fifth year striker wants even more this year. >> i told the coaches the number, i won't say it on here, but the coaches know and hopefully by the end of the year

you guys will know the goal that i'm reaching for and hopefully it's a little higher. >> palo alto's paul blanchett was last year's usl save king, one of a handful of local roots who are forever staying true to their name. >> we make sure that everything we're doing is uplifting. oakland and it's about oakland first. always. it's about knowing your roots and where you come from and representing the city at the highest level. >> the roots open up the first to seven teen home games on march the 9th. it's a saturday night and all those games are played at cal state east bay in hayward. tickets are still available, but if you can't make the game, you can watch it on ktvu plus, with the roots here in alameda, i'm frank mallicoat, ktvu, fox two news. >> how about this a 49ers super bowl cheer off was recorded for social media today at locations around golden gate park. it was organized by the staff at the gardens of golden gate park. the cheer off was in response to a

similar pro chief's social media event at kansas city's botanical gardens. >> we've taken to social media. we've decided to record videos of our communities cheering for our home teams, and we'll post them on friday night and see who has the bigger fan base. >> well, the group stopped at three locations in the park to video tape 49ers cheers! the teahouse and the japanese tea garden. the botanical garden and right in front of the concert of flowers and we do have coverage from las vegas, really throughout this super bowl week. joe fonzi christina rendon will be showing us all the action ahead of the big game on sunday. tomorrow morning we do have a fox two sports special, quest for six at 930 in the morning. then sunday at nine in the morning we have the quest for six live in las vegas and then at noon right before the game, the quest for six countdown to

two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. 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.

we are following developments tonight in two important legal cases, both with significant implications for this year's presidential election. >> good evening. welcome to west coast rap. i'm alex savage. today, the supreme court heard arguments over a colorado case centered on former president trump's election eligibility. then hours later, we learned a special counsel will not pursue criminal charges against president biden
