viewed as the city's first step towards possibly providing reparations to black san franciscans. it's one of over 100 recommendations made by the city's african american reparations advisory committee. >> we know that an apology without action rings hollow. um, and i think that's why this must be seen in context as a necessary part of accountability and reparations, not as an end in itself, but it is an important step nonetheless. and is meaningful and lays the groundwork for further commitments to the black community here in our city. >> city leaders are still debating whether they will compensate out its 46,000 black residents for slavery. one proposal would provide a $5 million lump sum payment to qualifying black residents. >> taking a look at the weather around here, another nice day. we had temperatures back into the 60s, so a lot like the

6:26 pm
has 318 reports dating back to 2004, but the south bay, with over 2200 and the peninsula with 553, dominate the region. >> and the reason why that's even happening at all, at all is just because of the loss of their habitat. so that open space is a good place for them, but probably not big enough to, um, you know, encompass their whole home range. >> experts say the same mountain lion will likely be sighted near other homes in the coming days. they advise residents to bring in food and pets and be alert when walking at night. in the south bay bureau. i'm jesse gary , ktvu, fox two news. >> well, some residents of east oakland say they want the owner of the oakland a's to step up to the plate and help shape the future of the oakland coliseum. the oakland united coalition says it has been working for almost a decade to ensure that any stadium developed that happens equitably. they say it should include affordable housing, living wage jobs and safe and healthy neighborhoods.

but got this far by virtue of senior shawna lindheim penalty kick. >> i mean, we went to double overtime. it was the longest game of soccer i've ever played. i've never seen a women's sporting event have that many fans at a game. so that was so exciting and just win with your friends. being a newbie on the team, i was definitely not expecting this at all, especially like just the camaraderie the team has. >> i think it's been really special. the people are what made the great season possible. >> i think hard work can only get you so far, but i think a team dynamic is really special. >> kim bonner, white is the mom of two of the players and an alumnus of this school. >> it's not just the win, but the fact that the community rallied around us so wholeheartedly and lovingly and amazingly. it was just something i'll never forget. it's the most exciting sports event i've ever been to, including professional sports. >> i thought the crowd was awesome. we had some of the football players who won a section title say it was one of the most exciting sporting events they've been to in their four years. the women are all excellent students as well, who keep their eye on that prize as

clouds come in tomorrow as this next weather system, which is a cold weather system. and i mean, it's so different than the systems we've had this season. this season has all been low mid-latitude not all, but most of the big rain events have been lower or mid-latitude events. this is the high latitude meaning this thing was born, this this storm up in the aleutian islands, very cold up by alaska. and it's coming our way. and that means not as much rain, not as warm, obviously, and a lot of snow level drops in a lot of snow will drop. the frost advisory tonight. that's a second night in a row we've seen that the overnight lows for us tonight. that storm by the way isn't getting here for a little while. it really shows up thursday night thursday afternoon. so in the meantime time we just kind of roll on with what we're rolling on with. okay, here's one storm. that's one personality. that's a low latitude storm. and then there's another storm up here. that's a high latitude storm. duh and so this is we haven't seen that many of this of these. so this guy comes in drops in on thursday night friday saturday

and does a deal where it's basically the jet stream. it's not it's cold. doesn't hold a lot of water, but it hits the jet stream hits the spine of the sierra nevada almost perpendicular. that's ridiculous. or graphics will occur. it's going to squeeze out every bit of water in that. in that air mass. so even though it's a dry storm, it's going to squeeze everything out. we're going to get an inch and a half of rain over three days. not a lot. they're going to get maybe eight and a half, nine inches of water equivalent, which would be the equivalent of 8 to 10ft of snow in some places as well. it's going to be pretty, pretty awesome. and it's much needed. so i mean that's the plan. it could change around certainly because we've got time before the event. but just so you understand, that's where it's coming from. it's dry but not when you get the perpendicular jet stream or graphics and all that that go into it. and so that's where we are. here's tomorrow morning, here's tomorrow afternoon or evening. kind of nice day. and then this is thursday morning. looks like it wants to start showering up in ukiah. and then right on by
6:51 pm
the time we get to the afternoon commute we're kind of wet. but you see how sparse and widely scattered the showers are. and that's because it's not a really strong moisture plume. it's really just very dry air coming our way. what it will do is introduce a bunch of wind again down the road. and that's it's going to be our main event. it's going to be friday into saturday . and then sunday looks okay. and you see that in the five day forecast. so frosty again tomorrow morning clouds increase on thursday. and we get ourselves some rain. not a ton but some on thursday night into friday. saturday. >> all right bill thank you. how about this. this is quite a different look brandon crawford in a uniform. other than that of the san francisco giants. we're going to hear from the two time world series champ about his new team sports coming up next
