it's the biggest and the deepest base of the whole structure about 50 feet below the water surface. >> the idea is to use highly controlled charges to bring down the foundation. >> an animation proposed by caltran noticed there's not one large charge, instead a bunch of small ones. >> so you never have one peak shock wave. you have hundreds of smaller shocks that actually break up the concrete and we're done in about six seconds. >> peter is an independent structural engineer. he said if done correctly, the structure should fall in on itself. >> many buildings are taken down quite carefully and very successfully. there's plenty of expertise to do that and it's a great option. >> the idea of explosions under water raises lots of environmental concerns. >> regarding impacts to wildlife. how are the toxic chemicals and concrete within the structure, how are they going to be managed? >> an implosion would be timed with the tide to keep concrete particles from being swept away

made. >> i'm going to bring the p.a. down here and we will drop in the lights. >> it's like the war room at the white house. i'm not going down on this ship alone. there's lot of people that make this decision with me. >> we all sit around and talk about it, and this is the right thing to do. because if people don't show up we have international press, domestic press, all these people who won't have a show. the academy cautions on the safe side and they have done the right thing. >> they any whatever rain will come will be nothing compared to lift year's massive downpours. abc7 news. our live coverage begins tomorrow. oscar sunday at 2:00 p.m. on the red carpet with the oscars show at 4:00. see what the stars are wearing with red carpet live. at 5:30 watch who wins as neil patrick harris hosts the oscars. for a complete list of nominees visit oscars.com. >> so weather-wise lisa, i hate

and i'm calling a 415 number? you'll still need to dial... 1 plus the area code plus the phone number. so when in doubt, dial it out! i've smoked a lot and quit a lot but ended up nowhere. now...i use this. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq.

100 years ago all eyes were on san francisco, a world's fair unlike any other had been reopened. the city had been reborn from the ashes of the 1906 earthquake is fire. we take a look back. >> it was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to san francisco. >> this old film from the california historical society shows the panama pacific international exposition. a world's fair to celebrate the opening of the panama canal in 1914. >> and it was beautiful. >> it was more than a world's fair. it was a coming-out party for a city that less than a decade earlier was nearly destroyed by an earthquake and fire. >> for san franciscans, i think what it meant was really a chance to put a very young city in a very young state on the world's map. >> planning actually began before the 1906 quake and continued during the destruction. the city quickly raised millions to fund the fair. they saw it as a chance to show the world that san francisco was recovering. >> the site selected was this mudhole out at harbor view. >> built on what we now call the marina district.

the 635-acre fair had everything. the centerpiece, a tower covered in jewels that glimmered in the sunlight and lit up the night. now 100 years later the california historical society is piecing together an exhibit to give people a glimpse of the spectacular and quirky past on display. photos, trinkets and a scaled model of part of the fair. there was something for everyone. bands played daily, horse and camel races were just as popular as the auto races. on display in the new buildings, new technology. a telephone linked san francisco to new york. cars rolled off the model t assembly line as airplanes flew overhead. just about every marvel of the day was there to see. >> a new life-saving device, the baby incubator. >> when the fair closed, nearly everything was torn down.

san franciscans ultimately kept just one building, the palace of fine arts. >> we are opening the front doors for the first time in a very long time. >> now the palace will be the centerpiece of a city-wide celebration. >> 100 years ago there was, in essence, and in reality, an innovation fair here. >> over the next year they will showcase latest invasions, this time from the 21st century. capturing the energy and excitement of a city that never stops shining. leland, abc7 news. >> abc news is the official media sponsor of 100th celebration. cheryl jennings will host the events at the palace of fine arts at noon. again that's happening today at noon. getting a check of the forecast, how will the weather be for it? >> we will have dry conditions and more 60s and 70s today. changes come tomorrow with snow

showers in the sierra and breezier numbers here. can we get any rain out of the cold system that will arrive tomorrow? maybe a couple hundredth in san jose like .02 but other than we are looking for central coast in central california. not a lot of moisture there. this morning we have fog. itit will be with us throughout the afternoon along parts of the shoreline. from our roof camera you see it has moved in in the past hour. so we are looking at san francisco still in the low 50s, but with the patchy fog. 46 in san jose. low 40s forfort gilroy. half moon bay 41 degrees and another vantage point this is emeryville. you see the cloudiness and the predawn light. the sun coming up after 7:00. it's chilly in petaluma and that's where some of the fog is sitting. the colder air draining into the valleys and looking at the fog to the east and west of us. some of it patchy in the bay. 11 degrees cooler half moon bay. 8 degrees colder this morning than we were yesterday at this

time in napa. look at mountain view and san jose. waking up to chillier conditions. five mile visibility at the coast but only a mile and three quarters concord quarter mile napa and santa rosa and less than that with the 37 degrees this petaluma. so you may need another layer if you are headed out for a bike ride or a jog. but look at the view from mt. tam. looks pretty nice out there with the glassy bay. areas of dense fog and mild and sunny today. today is the warmer day out of the weekend. tomorrow it will be cooler breezy north winds, allowing for perhaps the sprinkles in san jose. more likely central coast, southern california. and then unfortunately our nemesis, high pressure builds back in for another quiet week the last week of february. so it looks like with the system to the west of us we could see this bust through the high. nope, that's not going to happen. a weaker system is going to pull down from the north and that's going to bring the colder air. just sort of graze central and

southern california, bringing the winds, the cooler conditions some scattered, light showers maybe in san jose. more likely it's the snow. we will be talking about it in the sierra nevada, 1 to 2 inches sunday into monday with some very gusty winds. then we will take the outlook even further into march 1st next sunday. once again looks like no rain for the bay area. so a fun night tonight in san jose with numbers in the upper 50s kind of cool. clear conditions. the fog comes in after midnight here dropping into the mid-50s. and highs will be milder out in the east bay and the south bay today with 70 san jose. although 70 up in napa. cooler coast with the fog. 64 half moon bay, 65 san francisco and the accuweather seven-day forecast. so perhaps a south bay sprinkles. breezy for everyone and cooler for everyone tomorrow with clouds and sun on monday. still about average for temperatures. that's a first tomorrow into monday and then we will see temperatures kind.

steady through the middle of the week. but you will notice no raindrops there with sunny conditions and actually numbers coming up by the end of the weekend. the end of the week, i should say. you can see what is happening on live doppler 7hd anytime with the abc7 news weather app. it's free on apple's app store or google play. we are looking to see what celebrities, right?

concord. another vantage point here where you can see all the low cloudiness. the deck of clouds will clear and we will be left with sunny and warmer than average conditions. cooler tomorrow with northerly winds. possibility of sprinkles maybe in san jose amounting to a couple hundredth it you are lucky. more likely central coast and southern california getting scattered showers. and unfortunately high pressure reestablishes itself for a quiet pattern into the last week of february. so with high pressure still in command carving out a dry western third of the nation, this front is nudging that high. not budging, though. this area of low pressure, it's a cold one obviously from the gulf of alaska. it will slide down in the spine of the sierra, bringing a couple of inches of snow gusty winds and much cooler temperatures. highs in the northern sierra. low 50s to mid-50s today and only in the 30s tomorrow and into monday. so further shower activity from

the central coast maybe down through los angeles by 7:00 tomorrow. and we are on the back edge of that system. not likely we will see any rain. maybe some sprinkles. 60s today at the coast. you will notice it will be a little cooler there. but elsewhere the warmer day will be today around the bay with 69 in oakland. 71 palo alto. 70 in san jose with some 60s, low 60s coastside and 65 san francisco. the accuweather seven-day forecast so with that incoming system we are cooler and breezier. cloudier tomorrow and maybe some sprinkles from the santa clara valley. otherwise we will stay cool by monday in the 60s. this is all relative right? average high in san jose should be 65. so we are above that. tuesday, wednesday and even warmer by the end of the week. it's kind of like same old, same old. >> and it will be nice for all the people heading out to santa clara for the highs hockey game outdoors. >> yeah upper 50s tonight. >> thanks so much. turning to sports, the warriors

are travel to indiana to face the pacers tomorrow night. it's the start of a grueling six-game road trip. but last night they returned from the all-star break at oracle arena against the spurs. one of only two teams to beat them on their home floor this season. here's abc7 news director larry beil with the highlights. >> good morning, everybody. the warriors open the second half of the season against the team that's just given them fits for years, the spurs. and they made a statement against the defending nba champs. steve kerr, what is this fraternizing with then any? he played with gregg popovich. great friends. steph curry, he drills the three. it was the spurs who shot 60% from the field the first half and yet they still trailed. a little tired after playing a back-to-back. andrew bogut, nobody is this. -- is stopping this. steph, coast-to-coast. behind the back and finishing with the left hand. a thing of beauty! oh, that's gorgeous. 62-55. that's at the half. more steph in the third quarter. again, young players use your

left hand and learn how to finish with the left. thompson for three. the 14-point lead. they outscore the spurs 45-6. harrison barns size, mismatch, the fade-away. all warriors in the third quarter. and the splitter. the warriors win in impressive fashion 110-99. the ice is down and ready for the sharks and kings in the stadium series tonight at levi's stadium. if takes a massive effort to make ice up to nhl quality. now to the venue. both teams and their families got a chance to skate around on it. oh no, honey. don't worry. she was smiling after. they do one stadium game a year and everybody knows this is special. >> the production at the nhl and that the sharks have put on at levi's stadium, i'm at a loss of words for it. from all of the stuff on social media the past couple days and coming out and seeing it

firsthand and experience it, it's really, really cool. >> absurd goal of the night. avs and blackhawks. former shark brad stuart dumps it in, and he scores! corey crawford, the goalie, was trying to pass the puck up the ice and inadvertently let it go in off his stick. you know those commercials, want to get away? yeah, corey crawford wants to get away. avs win it 4-1. giants manager bruce bochy is out of the hospital after having a heart procedure to insert two stints. the 59-year-old bochy was hospitalized after feeling some discomfort during a routine exam on wednesday. his family said he's in good spirits and may be back with the team in spring training by sunday. >> the biggest fight in boxes -- boxes history is all set. manny pacquiao and floyd mayweather will get it on may 2nd. this is the bout the boxing fans have been waiting for for years.

mayweather could earn $120 million in one fight. pacquiao about $80 million. good money if you can get it. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody! i'm larry beil. >> abc7 news sports anchor mike shumann is heading to arizona for giants and a's spring training. mike's reports begin on monday. up next, taking the plunge for a good cause. why hundreds will be splashing in san francisco bay today.

[screaming] >> that didn't look too cold last year, lisa. >> this was the scene at last year's event at aquatic part. it's called the polar plunge because the water is cold. participants must raise $125 each to take the plunge at noon. the money pays for one season of sports instruction at no cost to special olympics athletes. last year's event raised $235,000. a very good cause. >> most of them look under 30. they can handle it. >> the sun was shining. temperatures in the ocean, they are chilly but not as cold as they could be. upper 50s to 60. it will be cooler at the coast with the fog. 69 oakland, 70 san jose with low 70s out toward livermore. today the sunnier and milder day. tomorrow the winds kick up. look for cooler afternoon highs,
