foundation is set to host two youth mental health events here in california. >> the recent string of storms is wreaking havoc on bay area roads as drivers dodged new and worsening potholes. ktvu tom vacar takes a closer look at the problem. >> the dominant cycle of recent has been rain, mostly in squalls, followed by no rain or sprinkles, followed by more squalls and so on. that causes a constant drainage that essentially keeps everything wet , including the roads, especially asphalt roads that are highly impacted by rain softening them up for vehicles to tear them up. but this is nowhere as bad as last winter so far. >> last year was a really bad year, with the amount of storms that we had, we had over 23,000 potholes that we dealt with last year. um, and uh, over over 8000 of them in the month of january alone, when we were really getting pelted with rain, we dealt with a little over 2000 potholes around the bay. uh, so

far, that's also true in san francisco. >> the numbers are quite significantly, um, different than last year. last year, during. that three months of winter storms, like from the end of december to the end of march, we did. we fixed almost 5000 potholes, which is a huge amount. it's usually what we do in about nine months, but no one is taking a victory lap just yet. >> well, it's something that we have to watch. it's very difficult to predict where water will go and what damage will actually take place, because everybody knows that every year potholes cost tens of millions of dollars worth of damages. >> in california to automobiles. but a lot of people don't know if you hit them too fast in a car or on a bicycle. it can result in a life altering injury, if not death, in the previous five years, the city of oakland has paid out $27 million in personal injury claims for potholes, uneven sidewalks and fallen tree branches in.

california. the mountains are getting a bunch of snow. they're going to continue to see a lot of snow tonight and through tomorrow. mid-morning as well as temperatures that are going to be kind of on the mild to cool side, as you would expect. but a foot of snow? not out of the question for those guys overnight. and then for those guys being lake tahoe and those those areas. and then here's our scattered showers. if i loop it up for you, you can kind of see where everything goes. i'll push it through and you kind of see everything moving and all the activity and the thunder, the thunderstorms moving up into the mountains. so most things have died down in terms of rainfall. we will see a few scattered showers late tonight. the model does this. this is at 10:00 tonight. and this is the forecast right. and so you can see the rain and even a little red area there indicating maybe some convection, maybe a thunderstorm. but and it looks like an opportunity around 10:00 tonight. and then a few light scattered showers go through in the evening, late evening, early morning hours. it doesn't look like much. today was more than i thought it was going to be. i'll

be honest with you. i thought we'd get rain. we talked about that last night, but it rained. i mean, an inch and three quarter or inch and nearly a half in san francisco. is that's significant rain. other most of us got half inch to three quarters of an inch, but still it did show up when if you're in san francisco, 59 degrees in santa rosa tomorrow morning showers possibility as we mentioned then. i mean, i'm not taking an umbrella anywhere. i go tomorrow, i'm not worried about it, but there's always a chance, especially in the morning slot. there's the five day forecast and you can see the saturday, sunday thing which was in question. julie last night. at this point it looks like it's not in question as much. friday, saturday and sunday look like they're going to be dry and kind of warm and mild. just a lot of clouds around that could change. i know chinese new year parades are a thing and we're thinking about it, but right now the weather looks good for it. >> all right. we're everybody's happy about that one. bill. thank you. well, the 40 niners make a move that could have a profound effect on their plans to retain some key players. our

joe fonzi has more on that next. in sports

it's the work behind the scenes, let's take a look at this knee. that truly matters. [ physical therapy staff discusses results ] for your mind. for your body. and for the community. -team! kaiser permanente.

of fame has announced its newest class for induction. five different sports are represented in the bay area sports hall of fame class of 2024, when you think san jose sharks, it's hard not to think of the name patrick marleau. marleau was the second overall pick in the 1997 nhl draft. he played 21 of his 23 pro seasons in san jose. marleau holds just about every sharks individual team record and has played in more regular season games than anyone else in nhl history on any other team that didn't have jerry rice as a wide receiver, john taylor would have been considered team's number one in that position. in his nine seasons with the 49ers, taylor played on three super bowl winning teams, most famously taking a touchdown pass from joe montana to give the 49ers a 20 to 16 win in super bowl 23. jenny thompson is one of the most decorated swimmers in us olympic history. the former stanford student has 12 olympic medals, eight of them gold, earned in four different olympic games from 1992 to 2004.

thompson set the world record in the 100 meter butterfly four times. danville product chris wondolowski is the first soccer player to be inducted into the bay area sports hall of fame. wondolowski spent the majority of his 17 year pro career with the san jose earthquakes. wondolowski is the top goal scorer in mls history and also in the class of 2024. as a contributor, this former san francisco giants general manager brian sabian. sabian joined the giants in 1993, took over as gm in 96. he was major league baseball executive of the year in 2003, and it was under his leadership that the giants won three world series titles in five years. in 2010 through 2014, and it is that time of year. spring training is going for the giants and the arizona desert. new manager bob melvin has a lot of decisions to make. one of the giants biggest offseason acquisitions is korean star jong hoon lee. lee is expected to be the giants regular leadoff hitter. there aren't a lot of certainties on the roster, and the starting rotation might be the best example of that. one guy who

will make his case to be in the rotation is keaton wynn, who made his debut last year in saint louis in a four inning save against the cardinals. wynn did that in front of his family, who drove from nearby iowa. wynn got into nine games last year, five appearances as a starter. wynn made 17 appearances in triple-a sacramento, so today just happens to be his 26th birthday. bob melvin on what he's seen so far from wynn. >> his repertoire far is progressing. he's got a fastball really good fastball, really good split, and it's what he does with his, you know, his breaking pitches. um, that are going to kind of make him who he is. but he can get away with two pitches. that's the thing. and very, very few starters can. >> and let us not forget, there is still an american league team in the bay area, still playing in the oakland coliseum. the a's made news last week when they named jenny kavner as their primary television play by play broadcaster. the first mlb team to hire a woman for that position. the a's announced today that chris carey will also be part of the team. carey was

the guy on the right talking in his former job. carey's twin brother was his partner with a double a amarillo. you guys ready for this? sod poodles? if the name carey sounds familiar, his father is skip. his grandfather is chip and his great grandfather was the legendary harry carey. wow. 49ers have some tough off season roster decisions to make in the near future. starting today until march 5th, teams can franchise tag a player which allows them to hold contractual control over a potential free agent for one season. 49ers have said they will not exercise that option on anyone. that makes for wide speculation about what will eventually happen to a number of players. you'd have to figure number one on the to do list is get an extension done for brandon aiyuk. if fiuk is willing and everybody can get creative under the salary cap. another big if involves fellow receiver jauan jennings had the 49ers won super bowl 58, jennings would have been a good candidate for the game's mvp award. there's one school of thought that says the 40 niners

should tender jennings, which would result in draft pick compensation if jennings signs a multi-year contract elsewhere. can't believe john lynch if he has a headache already. and it is. check this out. time on a tuesday night girls high school basketball in marlin, texas, a player for the wortham team loses her shoe while dribbling a marlin player, shawna robinson tosses it back to her but doesn't stop there. robinson says, hey, here's your shoe and i'll take the ball. please take it in for a layup. the players with an indication of the way the game went, wortham scored five points. hey, let me get the ball. marlin scored 99 points. i was going to say really good sportsmanship until she took the ball. >> here's your shoe. here's a trade. >> yeah. going to the basket. thanks, joe. thanks. you bet. >> thanks for joining us. west coast rap next here on ktvu. >> good night everybody. thanks for joining s. we'll e
