sso traditional or rich and hearty soups for four dollars with your club card. >> good morning, everyone, i'm carolyn tyler. thanks for joining us on this sunday, january 25th. let's start with a quick look at the weather with our meteorologist lisa argen. >> hi carolyn, good morning. >> live doppler 7hd shows the fog again from the central valleys slipping through the delta, allowing for the fog to be a problem perhaps for you around fairfield with a mile and three quarters. napa and petaluma two to three miles. santa rosa a mile and a quarter. right now on the coast not bad. the high surf advisory finishes. four mile visibility in livermore. right now temperatures are

chilly. danville 39. 46 oakland and san francisco with 42 in napa. we will be looking at another day of spare the air, poor air quality for today and tomorrow in the north bay. but also the south bay look at poor air quality. it looks like we may not escape january dry all together. i'll explain. a couple chances of rain coming up for the week ahead. that's coming up. carolyn. >> thank you. bay area residents wasted no time to get to the beaches to take advantage of unusually warm weather. however, those that go out today need to be aware of some serious downside. abc7 news reporter lisa amin gulezian has the story. >> reporter: they were taking in the lights, the sites, and the warm temps along the embarcadero. getting outside was top of mind for just about everyone this winter day. >> i don't know if this has

anything to do with global warming or climate change, but i'll sure enjoy it. >> it wasn't hard to find people in shorts and a t-shirt. it was 70 degrees. typically this time of year it's in the 50s here. >> it's beautiful, especially since there's no fog along the coast. but below the surface, a potential for problems is brewing. there's a high surf advisory in effect. sharp park is at risk for sneaker waves. this is low tied. the coast guard was out keeping an eye on things all morning at ocean beach. the advisory was out but surfers were all still in. >> we get maybe five to ten days like this in a surf season each year, so definitely have to take advantage of it when it's here. >> in oakland people flocked to lake mary to enjoy the sun and record heat. s >> it's been nice to enjoy this weather since we had all that rain. >> but the state isn't in the clear. we are still in a drought and the rain is necessary for the air quality, as well.

this is another spare the air weekend. >> it's like a dome over the area. it's capping all the air in our region so we don't get those normal breezes that blow out the pollution. >> that means anyone caught burning wood will be fined. patrols will be out all weekend looking for violators. lisa amin gulezian, abc7 news. >> so you might be enjoying the warm weather, but the lack of rain right now is hurting northern california farmers. they are forced to use groundwater to water their crops, and that's quickly running out. pumping water costs farmers more in electric bills, and that raises the price of fruits and vegetables. experts say 2014 was bad but 2015 looking even worse. 17,000 farm workers lost their jobs last year. >> have you had to cut the hours? less money for them for this time of year? >> we have to. no choice. we have to do it to cover the costs of the electric.

>> statewide, this is the driest california has been in january in five years >> at a rare council meeting in oakland no, legislation was passed, there was no agenda, but there was a public forum that allowed residents, city officials police to talk about recent protests and tensions. sergio quintana was there. >> at the center of the conversation, the difficult relationships between some oakland communities and the police department. something the police chief acknowledged, but something he says has changed. >> the oakland police department of 2015 is not the oakland police department of the 1960, it's not the oakland police department i joined over 20 years ago, and it's not even the police department of occupy oakland. >> oakland city council meetings often have unique moments and here there were two.

the first centered around a group called the black friday 14. some chained themselves to a platform after thanksgiving for two hours are and changing charges. one council member tried to coerce one to sign a pledge asking the charges be dropped. >> that the $70,000 in restitution not be asked for and no community service or restorative justice be found. >> at this time i cannot make that commitment. >> the second moment came ms. lewis spoke. she was arrested during that black friday protest. she also organized an early morning demonstration outside mayor libby's house this week. >> we weren't able to meet with her when we came to meet with her at city hall on friday, so we chose to go wake her up. >> the mayor closed out the session. >> i don't appreciate that that our chief of police acknowledged the wrongs, the harm and the hurt that's been done to this community by bad police actions.

>> she had been in washington, d.c. and returned for the meeting. abc7 news. the supplier of the steel rods that cracked on the bay bridge back in 2013 never told caltrans the same thing happened with nearly identical rods made for a washington bridge. it was released by california bridge officials. it states the ohio corporation knew of problems six months after shipping 96 of them to california in 2008. 32 of the rods sat in rainwater for five years, exposing them to corrosive hydrogen. they snapped after being laid down in 2013. it cost toll payers $45 million. dyson corporation has not responded to requests for comments. >> napa county has reported

abc7 news reporter cornell bernard talked with both sides. >> it began with a rally at the civic center. thousands of anti-abortion advocates calling for it it be outlawed. steve and mary jorgenson came from auburn with their four kids. >> we want them to know there are other choices for pregnancies that aren't planned. >> we should not be forced to support something we don't believe in. [chanting] >> an estimated 50,000 people joined the walk for life west coast and headed down market street. the annual march coincides with the anniversary of roe v. wade the supreme court decision that legalized abortion. recently the house republicans passed a bill to tighten federal restrictions on abortion but president obama warned he will veto. >> he will do what he's going do, he's the president, but this doesn't mean we can't make stand. >> a small group of pro-abortion rights advocates tried to march -- or yell them down.

police officers stood between both sides. [chanting] >> tony was a member of the the group "radical women." >> we are here to promote safe legal abortion and we are here for child care, we are here for healthcare and for women to make bold, important choices. >> taking away the rights for women is oppresive and doesn't make any sense to me. >> strong beliefs on both sides but the march was peaceful. in san francisco, cornell bernard, abc7 news. >> lisa, what you said earlier kind of intrigued me. and i thought, really? >> we've been advertising the dry january but there's definitely a caveat to that. a couple chances coming up tuesday and wednesday. good i'm glad i got your attention. from the east bay hills camera, 44 in livermore with fog. concord 45. another chilly start with patchy fog. we will talk about the rain chances in a few minutes. >> thank you lisa. also ahead, the horrific turn of

longer wants $200 million in ransomesome money. instead, they will release him for the release of an al-qaeda operative. >> they no longer want money. >> the 47-year-old tv correspondent went to syria to document syrian life. his syrian guide told him not to venture in isis territory. >> i said, please, it's not safe for you. >> before he left, he left behind a message saying, if i get captured, only he was to blame. saturday's new video message was quickly deleted with some isis supporters calling the message a fake. abc news, washington. the san jose city council is expected to give the okay this week to extend the city's controversial pig trap and kill season. first was back in november of 2013. home and business owners were

complaining an invasion of wild bores were chewing up lawns and fairways in search of food. since then 14 pigs were trapped and executed. the numbers are down because some say the pigs are smart enough to sniff out the traps and avoid the area. >> the mayor is shutting down the park that the homeless congregate in and they are taking extraordinary measures to drive them away. the mayor will close a park for at least 30 days starting tomorrow. he says he wants to break the cycle of the homeless coming to the park to drink, do drugs and litter. he wants to have family-orient events there. some of the homeless said they will be back as soon as the park reopens. neighbors in san jose have banded together to help fight blight and bring a home back to life. here's what the home looked like before. neighbors said there was garbage everywhere, they had problems with the owners.

the lyndale neighborhood association came to the rescue helping to clean up and remodel the home. crews cleared out 27 tons of garbage. neighbors say they transformed the home and the block. >> the previous owners were very, very horrible to the neighbors. so much so that they couldn't play in the neighborhood, there was drug selling, there was squatting going on, litter everywhere. it is so much happier now that this eyesore is now taken care of, that the problem owners is gone and we can have a much better street here. >> yesterday potential homeowners got a chance to check out the much-improved house at its first open house. u.c. berkeley police are warning students and city residents this morning about a recent spike in car thefts. authorities say nine cars in campus parking lots and structures have been burglarized this month alone. and in almost all of the cases

the fog to the east and south of us and the high surf along the shorelines. that remains the same although it's not quite as foggy and the waves just coming down a little bit. but still the advisory and still more hazy sunshine on the way, especially for the north bay and south bay. as the air quality once again over the dome of high pressure is trapped. so we are looking at pollutants and some unhealthy air. sutro tower camera this morning you can see the city. we are looking at 46 san francisco, 45 oakland, 40 morgan hill. and low 40s in san jose. across the bay in oakland temperatures are also in the 40s and our roof camera shows that the wind is not -- the hilltop winds, 25 to 35 miles an hour. that should also allow more warming today. we are looking at more records. 43 petaluma and fairfield. concord some fog. and looking at more fog up toward napa with a mile and three quarter visibility through the delta.

the tully fog getting blown in from the easterly winds. that's why concord and livermore looking at some fog. it's just not making it to the coast. the protected valleys typical for the cooler, denser air it settle in. look tech fog through hit aluminum and santa rosa. we have record highs today. just shy of 70 in san francisco. more clouds and cooler days ahead. we will add in the slight chance of showers a couple of systems coming together midweek. the waves off the coast 8 to 9 feet. san francisco, monterey, and bodega bay riptides, large breakers throughout the afternoon. here's the satellite come potty with the big dome of high pressure keeping the system to the north. it weakens and moves to the east by tomorrow and that will allow for this system to slide up from the south. there's yet another system coming in from the north. they are both weak and they both lack moisture.

but as we go through the next couple hours you notice monday night into tuesday we have showers, and perhaps higher televisions of the east bay 580. probably not amounting to much, but the rest of the day we will see more clouds. 10:00 on tuesday, and by the afternoon some of the higher elevations north bay, east bay and in the sierra nevada. but still that will keep san francisco dry, perhaps, for the day and then again through the end of the month. so we still could go down in history with no rainfall on the city but cooler temperatures come tuesday and wednesday for oakland. mid-70s today, mid-60s with the weather system and then high pressure builds back for milder and sunnier weather. 70 in fremont today. palo alto topping out around 70. 74 san jose and oakland. 72 napa. and the seven-day forecast cooler with clouds tomorrow. a weak weather system. maybe a shower higher elevations tuesday, wednesday and then it's the stubborn high coming back and waiting itself once

new cure for brain cancer. it's not likely we are going to, by the way. and it's not likely we have to find some fundamental breakthrough with the geno which we will. this is within our will-house. this is on our backs. >> a report finds that 200,000 people in the u.s. die from preventable medical errors every year. a new attempt to raise the fuselage of air asia flight 8501 has failed. in indonesia they say ropes snapped after the wreckage reached the surface of the water today. and an earlier attempt was also foiled when part of the debris sliced through a strap connecting the fuselage to a giant balloon. meanwhile one more body was recovered, bringing the total number recovered to 70. the air asia flight went down in december 28 with the 162 people on board. this morning fbi and law enforcement officials are investigating online bomb threats on two planes that

big wave knocked him off a cliff and into the ocean. lifeguards reacted quickly strapping him to a harness and pulling him to safety. the rescue was one of several yesterday as the strong swells made waves nearly 10 feet high along the coast. san diego lifeguards had extra water patrol and five additional lifeguards. the winds also blew two kayakers out to sea near malibu. rescuers helped them paddle back to shore. glaucoma affects thousands of people's eyesight every year. but now the glaucoma treatment may be far more effective. we have the story by dan ashley. >> i will be taking a look here. >> reporter: for victoria, regular eye exams are part of an ongoing battle to save her eyesight. victoria is being treated at stanford for glaucoma. it's a condition caused by a buildup of pressure inside the eye that can cause irreversible

damage. >> i worry i will lose my eyesight. >> it's often called the thief that steals your vision during the night. >> he said medications can help control glaucoma, but the doctors must still track the pressure inside the eye during treatment. >> we make, if you will, estimates or interpolation of what we think the pressure is of the patient coming in and having a single pressure measurement. >> but now a device being developed by bioengineers at stanford could transform the way doctors monitor glaucoma. it's an implantable sensor that acts as a kind of pressure meter. >> it will go inside your eye. >> the co-developer said the system is built into the type of replacement lens commonly used in cataract surgery. it employs a fluid tube and a stretchable membrane with a bubble of gas behind it. he showed us how it works. using a plastic container filled with fluid. as he increases the pressure

the fluid pushes against the membrane in the lens, forcing the gas forward to a channel. measuring the degree of pressure in the eye like a barograph. the patient doesn't actually see or feel it because of where it's placed in the eye and the materials used to create it. but the patient can read and even record the movements using one of these, a smartphone. >> and in the future you will be able to measure the pressure inside your eye by using a simple cell phone camera. >> this system takes advantage ever recent developments of smartphone optics like this device also developed in stanford to allow doctors to give mobile eye exams in remote locations. while it must still undergo human trials, doctors leave it -- believe it holds the promise of revolutionizing and the treatment. >> the patient might only need one or two drops instead of three or four or we might add a drop. >> and perhaps make treatment far more effective tore people

like victoria. >> that would be amazing. to me it would relieve some of the pressure that i feel. >> and researchers told dan the next challenge is to engineer a version of device using durable materials that can last for decades in the human eye. they say given its simple design they should be able to take advantage of existing technology to make that happen. coming up next, the next weekend's big game needs a big tv. michael finney goes hunt fourth the best one. and i see pier 15 in the distance. another spare the air day today. lisa argen is along with another full accuweather forecast coming

voicery. this morning again the fog is stubborn and that allows for cooler afternoon highs as others areas get a jump start on the warming with the clear skies, sunny conditions and the east wind. particularly along the coast. mt. tam, you can see above the low clouds with temperatures in the 40s. 41 in san jose. 46 san francisco. 44 oakland. good morning half moon bay. 48 degrees for you and the east wind in the higher elevations for mt. diablo, mt. tam 25 to 35 miles per hour wind gusts. on the peninsula, looking like a beautiful start to the morning. high sur qualify 10 do 15-foot waves and it will subside this afternoon. 44 napa with the fog. fog fairfield and petaluma. the fog has in the changed much except the area of high pressure getting stronger and getting more firmly entrenched today. mile navies from the fairfield. napa and petaluma with 4 miles. outward concord and livermore.
