>> california's new governor is expected to be more brash, more aggressive than his predecessor. moments after being sworn in, gavin newsom set the tone. >> the country is watching us. the world is waiting on us, and the future depends on us. and we will seize the moment. we will offer an alternative to the corruption and the incompetence in the white house. >> i object! >> newsom's swearing in was briefly interrupted by a protester. >> house matters and children. >> but it was his own son, 2-year-old dutch who stole the show while he was up on stage. among those in attendance many big political names with deep roots in the bay area, including house speaker nancy pelosi and san francisco mayor london breed. >> going to work with the mayors to address the challenges that we know are not just problems in

our cities, but in the entire state of california. homelessness, mental illness. >> what gavin newsom, governor newsom is doing is taking us forward. not only this state, but we're going set the example for the rest of the country. >> anything that concerns you about his agenda? >> well, yes, because i know we do not have an unlimited capacity to fund government. >> it's been an honor to serve with him these past eight years and to learn from him. >> and while newsom clearly considers former governor jerry brown a mentor, the 51-year-old businessman and family man is obviously determined to make his own way. >> well, my pledge to every californian is this. no matter what comes at us, i will have your back. >> now in his third-minute speech, governor newsom talked about his signature issues. that is same-sex marriage,

immigrant rights, health care, and quality education for all. and he also took direct aim at the president without once mentioning his name. in sacramento, laura anthony, abc 7 news. >> okay, laura, thanks very much. with governor newsom taking office today, jerry brown is leaving the governor's office after a long career in california politics, as you know. at age 80 now, brown is the oldest governor in the country. he was reelected 30 years after his first term started. that was 1975. brown is retiring with a $15 million war chest of unspent campaign funds. in an interview with our los angeles sister station kabc, he says he is still thinking about what he'll do with it. >> i will judge carefully. i will consult with people. i have a role to play, and i have an enormous amount of experience. so whether it's national, state

or local, he will be heard from. >> brown and his wife ann will not be coming back to oakland. they plan to go to colusa county north of sacramento. >> coming up in the next half hour, we'll get input from political expert. his thoughts on governor newsom's inaugural address and the challenges he will face. now your accuweather forecast with spencer christian. >> well, as you know doubt know we had a very wet stormy weekend, and more rain is on the way. it's dry across the bay area right now, but clouds are thickening. there is light rain along the north coast, but the bigger storm, the main event is this storm brewing offshore. this storm ranks 2. a storm of moderate intensity. it will move in tomorrow. its heaviest effects will be felt mainly in the north bay where we'll see 1 to 3 inches of rainfall into wednesday. up to 3/4 in other parts of the bay area, and wind may gust from 45 to 60 miles per hour at times with this storm.

a look at the forecast animation starting at 10:00 tonight. during the overnight hours a few scattered passing showers, but by late tomorrow afternoon, we will see a wave of steady moderate to heavy rainfall, pushing first boo the north bay and sweeping across the entire region. i'll give a closer look at the effects in the weeks ahead in a few minutes. >> thank you. this is a look right now at lake tahoe right now. the weekend's storm brought resorts close to three feet of snow. ski resorts were packed over the weekend, creating a traffic nightmare, though, for people heading out of town. on abc 7 news at 6:00 last night, you heard from reporter melanie woodrow who was caught in the traffic. she is back in san francisco today, but she said the total drive took her 12 hours. >> that's brutal. nice to see a little blue sky, though. you can always track the weather where you live. enable push alerts to get the latest weather advisories right on your phone. speaking of nice to see a little blue sky, happening now, levi's stadium is filling up.

the college football play-off championship will kick off in less than an hour. >> and sky 7 is overhead the pstadium right now. as you see alabama and clemson fans have traveled from across the country to get here for the big matchup tonight. >> the teams arrived at levi's in the past hour, riding in on buss from their hotels. abc 7 news sports anchor larry beil is live on the field at levi's. larry, what do you expect from tonight's game? >> dan, ama, i expect an epic clash of titans here. these are the two best teams in college football. let's start with the weather, though. that's been the major concern given all the rain the past few days. everybody connected with the game is thrilled that it is not pouring on us right now. the skies are gray. i thought i felt a drop a few seconds ago. i hope i'm just imagining it. the field looks great. if you follow the history of levi's stadium, you know field issues have been a problem from check. i thought i could get to the 50 yard line. a security guy said don't do it.

you've lost a step. we'll be on you before you get close. so enough about that. let's talk about some real athletes, alabama and clemson. both teams come in undefeated. they are clearly the two best teams in college football. fourth straight year that they'll be meeting in the play-offs. 'bama 2-1 versus clemson in those games, and the crimson tide, they are a dynasty in college football. they won five of the past nine national titles. and that's the 'bama band warming much the background. some fans will tell you look, they've got 'bama/clemson fatigue because these teams have been so dominant, but the coaches certainly are not apologizing for being great. >> you know, it's my job to do the best ability i can to do the best for our players our program in terms of what it takes for us to be successful. i guess that's what we'll continue to focus on. >> i mean, i'm not going to

apologize for having a great team and a great program and a bunch of committed guys, and coach saban is not either. i think the best objective is to get the two best teams. if that's not best for college football, then why did we even do it? >> abc 7's mindi bach joins me. you can feel the energy down here. i know you're pumped up because you just saw former 49er willis. >> i did. he was elected to the college hall of fame today, the linebacker from the 49ers as well as ole miss. he is out here to watch this sec matchup. i asked who he was pulling for. he said he can't call it, but he thinks clemson might pull this one out. he likes their quarterback. >> there is two great quarterbacks. while we've got all these tv guys in the way, tv guys are always in the way, aren't they, mindi? >> yeah, they are. tua tagovailoa.

>> they came all the way from oklahoma, they came from utah, the entire west coast. so quite a showing. even though these are two sec teams and two teams from the south, this is the perfect opportunity for these players, also naji harris who is from antioch who plays for alabama to really come out and see some of the best college football right here at levi's stadium in santa clara. and for them to play in front of their family and friends. >> it's not sold out. so it's an opportunity if you want to see the best of the best in college football. you can come on down. i think the get in price was like $150 or something like that. so a lot of fans have the opportunity to take advantage. speaking of the fans, let us go outside levi's stadium and abc news reporter david louie who has been hanging with the fans all day long. david? >> well, hey, larry. lots of excitement inside levi's stadium where you are, but there is something lacking out here in the parking lot area. there is no smoke, as you can clearly see. there is no smell of grilled

meats. that's really disappointing, of course, because that's what tailgating parties are all about. the crowd here of course is predominantly from out of state, out of the area. so they have no way to transport grills or other means to make hot food, but they seem to be having a great time in spite of that. this is definitey not your typical pregame tailgate party, with fans from both teams coming from 2200 miles away, they didn't have grills to make the usual fare. this is alabama fan >> barbecue. always barbecue. >> fans had to make due, buying deli trays. alabama and clemson fans were grateful that the rain stopped for this national championship. the weekend weather didn't put a damper on having fun and spending money. >> we went to napa. we spent some money on wine. >> thanks for helping our economy. >> well, we try best. we try to support the wine

industry as much as possible. >> amanda had a wad of $2 bills to spend, a clemson tradition dating back to the '70s. each bill is typed with a tiger paw logo as a reminder of their spending power. she has given them to ride share drivers and hotel workers. >> because it's hard to pay a whole bill with $2 bills. i always include one in my tip wherever i go. >> and a clemson basketball player in the '90s. he loves that the game is right here. >> it's a chance of a lifetime. how many people get to go to a national championship and see their team play in their backyard? it's a dream come true. >> whether they're clemson or obama boosters, alums or parents of students, they're ready to cheer on their team. >> roll, tide, roll! >> go tigers! woo! >> oh, you can tell they are hungry for a victory tonight. well, of course the cold food can be forgiven because all of

them will be heading out to have hot food some time tonight. hopefully hot food to celebrate a victory, but of course the other side is going to be commiserating a loss. david louie, abc 7 news. >> thank you so much, david. >> good stuff. the halftime performance tonight is taking place at treasure island in san francisco. >> where fans and formers of imagine dragons and lil' wayne were able to get tickets for the concert. abc 7 news anchor dion lim is there. not a bad story to have to cover today. >> not bad at all. i kind of like this. news anchor and reporter by day and occasional host of imagine dragons and lil' wayne. check it out. we have all of these fans just entering right now, going through the gates. there were 3,000 of them, believe it or not, who got these free tickets, and those were snatched up in just about two hours. so as i'm walking down here, i've been here all day long, and i can tell you, it takes a tremendous amount of man and woman power to put on an

11-minute show. so taking a live look from sky 7, that is on its way here to treasure island from levi's stadium, the organizers told me they wanted to have the concert at another location to spread the joy of college football around the bay area. now here is some video of the setup from a few days ago, and to give you an idea of the numbers here, we have more than 150 crewmembers stringing 16 miles of cable, operating 12 cameras, including a drone to capture every single moment. now last year 28 million viewers across the country and really across the globe watched the big game on espn. they are expecting about the same today. imagine dragons and lil' wayne will be performing their own songs in addition to a little bit of a mash-up. that should be a big treat for fans who are here tonight. so as much as i'd like to stick around and chat a little bit longer, the sound check and all of the guests are starting to

arrive. so i'm going to go get ready to get on stage for the big show. it should be a lot of fun. dan and ama, back to you in the studio. >> thank you so much, dion. >> what a great night. tonight's game is going to be just fantastic. you want to know the winter moment it happens, of course. >> of course. and you can find out by downloading the abc 7 news app, and we will send an alert. >> enjoy the game if you're tuning in. oakland mayor libby schaaf sworn in for a second term today. >> up next, what she says will be her first priority and what she is planning long-term. more than four years in the making, the county courthouse reopens for the first

>> it was not how mayor libby schaaf wanted to start her second term in office. >> i am clear that this is nothing to celebrate as long as a single life is taken or harmed. we have much more work to do. >> today schaaf promised community safety would continue to be her first priority. among her long-term plans to reduce crime include creating more preschools and working with the board of education to improve oakland schools. ensuring more affordable and equitable housing for all is the mayor's second goal. in the past few years, oakland has seen a building boom, but the gap between rich and poor has widened. other city council members inaugurated today are also making housing a priority. >> so many of you that i talked with are beyond frustrated from witnessing this development while our housing and homeless crisis explodes. >> schaaf will be working with a very diverse group of councilmembers, including the

first filipina to serve. and that's not all. >> the first hmong american woman to be elected to city council in the state of california. [ applause ] >> and schaaf, who was targeted last year by president trump over ice raids in oakland warned the president that her city would disrupt any attempt to disrupt the community here in oakland. i'm live from city hall, lyanne melendez, abcnews. >> thank you. shares of pg&e took another hit today. the stock closed down a share. no cause has been determined in the camp fire in butte county, but pg&e reported an outage in the area around the time the fire started in november. a national pilot shortage has some airlines calling for less training so they can recruit more people. however, pilots warn that could

hi morgan hill. 53 degrees in santa rosa. mid- to upper 50s at napa, petaluma, fairfield and concord. from the rooftop camera, looking at clouds over the bay and over the bay bridge, and these are our forecast features. we have a wet, windy storm coming our way. moving into tomorrow, its heaviest impact will be in the north bay, but some rain and impact from the storm and other parts of the region as well. this rainy pattern will continue right into the weekend. the approaching storm ranks 2 on our storm impact scale, a storm of moderate intensity. it will start moving in tomorrow. but you'll feel more widespread effects from the storm late into the day all the way into wednesday. look for 1 to 3 inches of rainfall in the north bay and the higher elevations. 45 to 65-miles-per-hour gusts will accompany the storm. here is the forecast animation. notice in the early morning hours, just see some passing showers in the north bay, but by about 5:00 in the afternoon, we'll see a wave of steadier,

heavier rain pushing in, first in the north bay and then sweeping to other parts of the bay area in the evening and late night hours tomorrow, and continuing to produce showers into wednesday morning. so it will not only be a wet evening commute for much of the morning, but a wet commute on wednesday. and showers will continue moving through until wednesday afternoon. so wednesday's evening commute may be wet as well. we are projecting rainfall totals from this storm as of noon wednesday ranging from just under a half inch for much of the south bay peninsula and the east bay to well over an inch and even 2 inches in some locations up in the north bay. a wind advisory has been issued by the way in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. wednesday for virtually all the hills and mountains telephone bay area. the possibility of downed trees, blowing debris and power outages. and we have a high surf advisory in effect from 9:00 p.m. tomorrow to 9:00 p.m. wednesday. wave heights are already elevated. ranging from about 7 to 9 feet right now. breakers could reach 18 to 24

right? this is a mandate when he was voted in. so what does he do with that? >> i think this first period of time is going to be really critical. this is when his political capital is at its highest. we haven't had any infighting in the legislature yet. he hasn't had to put people into difficult positions and difficult votes yet. he has to get as much going as he. >> you mentioned the surplus. he's got the super majority in the legislature with the 2/3 democrats. so people look at that and say well, he can accomplish whatever he wants. exactly because he is in that position, what are the challenges? >> well, the big challenge is he's got to manage a california economy that's part of the global economy. and there is no question that there are signs that this global economy is headed for a slowdown. the american economy could be headed for a slowdown, and california will be part of that. how do you plan for big ideas in a situation where you know the economic situation could change on you? i think that's going to be his big challenge is how do you plan for the future effectively and prudently while also pursuing
