insurance companies are making a big push to change the way fire insurance rates are set. what does that mean for homeowners facing huge increases in premiums after our summer's of wildfires? 7 on your side michael finney is live to take a closer look.

michael? >> dan, the proposal is one of two seriously being considered by state insurance commission r erer ricardo. dan lives in the oakland hills as with so many of his neighbors, his insurance company dropped his fire coverage this year due to extreme fire risk. it took a lot of work but he eventually found coverage from state farm for 50% more than last year. >> it made me feel like, you know, who knows what the future is going to hold. >> reporter: that's why insurance commissioner ricardo laura is holding workshops to figure out how to keep rates down and minuimize the number o policies being cancelled. one idea proposed originally surfaced following a devastation of hurricane andrew in 1992. right now, fire insurance rates in california are set based on a

20-year average of money coming in from premiums and money going out to repair damage. in florida and many other states, ir sunsurance rates ared with a formula that would determine insurance premiums based on an insurance company's risk. >> i think we looked at florida homeowners and found 77% of the homes would get lower premiums. >> reporter: that's a resident and insurance industry consultant nancy way ktkins. she says the formula the state uses now doesn't work. >> we've seen enormous increases in premiums indicated by a long-term averaging formula. >> reporter: the common consumer watchdog questions is a catastrophic model saying it's a bunch of numbers thrown into a black box. >> the black box algorithm has the numbers around and spits out a rate and one model could be

wildly different than the next model. we have no idea how the companies are manipulating numbers to come up with an end p>> reporter: she supports a proposal to take measures to reduce the fire risk by clearing vegetation, using fire resistant roofing materials. dan spent thousands of dollars clearing trees to reduce the fire risk. he thinks insurance companies should be required to discount dan's insurance and others who have to reduce their risk. >> insurance companies now are not required to offer discounts when homeowners harden their homes. we need that as well. >> that's a great idea. in fact, to the extent that they might have expertise to help us do it right, that might even be really valuable. >> watkins supports that idea as does the insurance commissioner.

laura, however, has not publicly disclosed where he stands on a catastrophic model idea. there is a lot of work to be done on this, dan. we'll keep track of it and i'll report back. >> thanks. no fire danger now, a storm is moving through the bay area bringing us rain. spencer is tracking it next. my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness...much better. my psoriasis, clearer... cosentyx works on all of this. four years and counting. so watch out. i got this! watch me. real people with active psoriatic arthritis look and feel better with cosentyx. cosentyx works fast for results that can last. it treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis, like joint pain and tenderness, back pain,

all right. we have good news to report in terms of weather. ama, a little bit of rain coming in. >> absolutely. we need it all, spencer. >> that's right, dan and ama and from time to time it will be more than just a little bit. here is a look at the storm impact scale, which indicates that the approaching -- i shouldn't say approaching but it's here already. it ranks one on the storm impact scale. tonight we can expect mainly light or light to moderate rain and overnight, early morning hours it becomes briefly heavy with rough and dangerous surf remaining with us even though our safe beach hazard statement expired. starting at 9:00 tonight, we'll

see a wave of concentrated rain, heavy rain sweeping from north to south starting in the north bay where it is right now. it's going to quickly after midnight swing southward through the east bay and south bay and across the peninsula and by 5:00 tomorrow morning, the bulk of the storm will have passed through the bay area already. so let me give you a look at overnight lows mainly upper 40s to about 50. highs in the 50s. very few locations will reach 60 tomorrow. look at partial clearing tomorrow afternoon under breezy conditions and a warming trend as we head into the weekend by the way, monday marks the beginning of winter. dan and ama? >> all right. maybe it will start to feel like it. thanks, spencer. let's turn things over to larry beil with some warriors news tonight, larry? >> yeah, everybody is wondering what is the plan for the warriors prized rookie? the giant games wiseman, when will we see this kid in a game and what about the comparisons

wei wiseman played three games in college. he needs the reps but the reps will come slowly at least as the season begins. >> i know all of our fans are probably hoping he's going to be david robinson when he steps out on the floor but picture david robinson as a sophomore at navy. that's the guy you're comparing him to, not the all star with the spurs. >> it's way different. my body matured tremendously. i'm being more vocal on the defensive end and also, i'm just learning because the nba in college is way different. i'm just learning. >> we haven't seen wiseman or green in preseason action but we saw first last night damian lee throwing it down with authority. curry documenting the magical moment in time as he put it on instagram entitled never seen it then still of lee dunking. the post dunk reaction with an emoji and a nice the end. lee is curry's brother-in-law so

family going on there. whatever the 49ers do with jimmy garoppolo next season, the one thing they have to improve upon is their packup sbackup si. nick mullins will again start for the 49ers this week against dallas. the head coach kyle shanahan contemplated making a switch to c.j. he thought about it mid game last week but decided again to start mullins. for every good throw, there is almost always a cringe worthy moment that follows with mullins. the niners desperately need to upgrade but for now, this is all they got. >> i always feel the backup quarterback if they play too long no one will like them that much because backups aren't the starter and so backups are meant to come in from one to three games. nick and c.j. have been in tough situations they have to play a lot. >> that's the biggest thing. make the simple play. don't do too much. that's up to me. have the ball in my hands every

play and so just got to protect it. >> this is national signing day for high school athletes picking their colleges. the early signing period germane terry a tight end from kennedy high school in richmond just one of the four four-star recruiting heading to cal. cal had the 21st highest recruiting class in the nation. their best since 2011 and stanford with the 60th ranked recruiting class in the country led by four-star recruit defensive end from new jersey who faxed in his letter of intent early this morning. it was like 4:00 a.m. here on the west coast, 7:00 a.m. because he's from jersey and dual threat quarterback from full some going to the cardinal. quarterback of the future, 66 " 6'5" 200 pounds.

california there haven't been a high school season. many haven't played. some played partially. some will play in the spring. when you talk about three star recruit, four star recruit, nobody has any idea what guys will turn into. some making predictions off the junior season. got to keep that in mind when talking about the recruiting rankings. i hope you enjoyed the festivities behind me. the lighting. ama mentioned and wondered whether i did this myself. come on. >> is it a surprise he did not? >> i'm capable of selfie lighting and that's it. that's it. not anything -- >> you're more of a delegation guy. >> yes. >> a little light here. >> yes. >> like in a tom cruise rant sort of way is how i go about my business pretty much every day. >> when it's not to your liking. >> you got to let people know, dan, you know. >> thanks, funny. >> all right. be sure to join us tonight for
