considering where we have been so far this year. it has been the driest start to a year for about all of our reporting stations. saturday is dry, but look at that -- 90% coverage sunday. storm looking disorganized now, but it is coming our way and has an atmospheric component, albeit on the lowest part of the scale, but it will bring us rain. why do we need so much? you have seen this. we are anywhere from 1.3% of where we should be in livermore to about 9% in oakland. if we get the amount of rain our most robust models are telling us, we will be close to matching if not exceeding what we have by nearly 300, 400, 500%. we will show you the two stages of wet weather coming into this forecast when we come back. ama: thank you so much. larry: a judge has ordered

larry: tragic loss in northwood where one of the last remaining old groove redwoods was destroyed by a fire this week. the pioneer tree inside samuel p taylor park was iconic, believed to be hundreds of years old. cornell barnard details the loss and why rangers believe an

illegal campfire may have been to blame. >> lost forever, unfortunately. cornell: fire crews were on scene. the loss as massive as the mighty redwood itself. >> it is, like, a loss of a family member, really, for the staff and members of the community. cornell: this ranger says the pioneer tree was one of the few old groove redwoods in the part. this was the tree before the fire, standing 200 feet tall and believed to be at least 800 years old. >> it is upsetting because they are so old, so big, and they harbor great life. losing just one tree is a big disappointment. >> the tree collapsed while folks were there just because of the amount of fire that was inside the tree. >> marin county fire chief jason

weber believes the fire first discovered thursday, was likely started by an illegal campsite. >> not only is it illegal, it is just plain stupid. we are in an extended drought. i think for everybody, we want people to be fire safe. cornell: for some, the loss of the tree was so great they brought flowers to the kiosk and a card which says my wife, along with all the flowers of redwood, california, are mourning the loss. >> i was so sad yesterday. i felt sick. cornell: this resident shows pictures of herself inside her beloved tree. >> i have been inside the tree a number of times. my grandkids have been inside the tree. it is a big loss. cornell: the tree had survived other fires before. park rangers are looking for information about who may have started the fire, but for now, it is a time to grieve the loss of a very old friend.

>> beautiful redwood. eight foot in diameter. they are irreplaceable. connection they all had with the tree and the emotion involved. the concern going forward is when you look at the lack of rain we have had over the past few months, we may lose more trees. ama: yeah, it is so sad, disheartening. we are going to get some rain coming up, right? >> some rain, and it will prolong the start of the fir off season. is it enough? probably not. you can see that patch of low clouds still clinging to the coast and riding and lynn just a little bit on that sea breeze. wind around 20, 25 miles an hour along the peninsula coast, so a little breezy, a little brisk if you are headed that way. clouds will increase on the sea breeze as we head into the overnight hours through tomorrow. it will be cooler tomorrow but

also dry. light to moderate rain sunday and that chance for showers and thunderstorms monday. we are at 52 at the coast at 7:00, dropping down to 51. remember, it is going to be pretty windy at least through 9:00. 59 to 53 as the sunsets in our bay and in the neighborhoods. we just keep dropping into the mid-50's by the time we get to 10:00, so a jacket definitely needed. the cloud cover not quite as extensive as this morning, nor as soupy. it was so misty this morning. not quite there, but still, you will notice the clouds when you wake up. most of us in the mid to upper 40's tomorrow morning. here's a look at the cloud cast for tonight through tomorrow and you can see the clouds increasing, if it is high or low clouds. it will take low clouds and long time to retreat back to the coast because they will not get as much sunshine to erase them as possibly today because of the high clouds, so it could be about the same timeframe as it was today.

tomorrow, we will have mid to upper 50's along the coast, mid to upper 60's around the bay, low to mid 70's and then. let's talk about the storm sunday, comes in during the afternoon and early evening hours. it is like to moderate with gusty wind and leaves enough wet weather around for a slick commute monday. you can see some mist and drizzle developing and we will just have a few showers as we had through sunday morning. someone will bump bump bump bump coastal mountains and create some rain, and you can see the mind come ashore with the green, yellow, and orange by 4:00, easily into the north, starting to come ashore for the rest of the bay. this is a pretty fast mover, but it will lay down a moderate intensity of rain, and that is why we could have some minor ponding. by 11:00, it is almost out of here and then we cloud up overnight on's again. here's a look at what is marching our way.

watch how suddenly it takes a dip to the south, so it looks like it will hit the santa cruz mountains and the monterey bay harder than the rest of us, so those areas could receive more rain than possibly the northway. a few sprinkles until 3:00, 4:00 sunday, and then look at these rainfall amounts. we are looking at a healthy half-inch to three quarters of an inch and possibly even more than that in our higher elevations. the seven-day forecast has sunday and monday as our coolest days and some sunshine after morning fog and temperatures in the 70's as we head toward tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and friday. it has been almost three months since we have had rain like this. dan: it is almost incredible. >> in normal circumstances, this would just be a normal storm, but we are all excited. ama: we'll take it all. before you go, here is an

unsettling development tonight we are hearing about a climate story you brought us earlier this week. >> scientists around the world are examining an icy shelf around the size of los angeles that has disintegrated in an article. this follows an unusual record-setting heat wave we told you about raising temperatures in the northern arctic and antarctic at the same time. the region has been fairly stable climate-wise, but over the last several days, and ice shelf has disintegrated into the ocean. again, this was an area just slightly smaller than los angeles. researchers do not have direct evidence linking the breakup to the recent heat wave, but the timing and location will be sparking research moving forward. scientists have been monitoring ocean temperatures, and one of the concerns is sea level rise that could eventually impact

coastal areas around the world including the bay area. at least it wasn't the doomsday ice shelf. larry: well, l.a. is pretty large. it is a concern going forward. from one forecaster to another, spencer christian shared his love of reading today with second and third graders at san francisco's community school. he read "larry gets lost in san francisco." ama: that's about right. larry: spencer was there as part of our parent company of readin. then the real fun afterwards. spencer closed out his visit with a hula hooping tutorial. he could basically be a professional who uber if there was such a thing. awesome. ama: up next, we learn how to dress for the oscars, and a --

ama: time now for the 4 at new numbers from the census bureau are providing a stunning picture on the exodus from the bay area. from july 2020 july of last year, san francisco lost 6.3% of its population or 55 thousand people, the second largest population drop per capita in the u.s. san mateo county lost thousand people. santa clara ranked 15th overall, losing 2.3% of residents or

45,000, and alameda county ranked 16th, shedding 1.9% of its population or 31,000 residents. it is interesting -- ok, i'm going to admit, i'm going to ther places that is so much more affordable. i'm not going to call out anyone by name, but perhaps someone else would like to confess? >> i enjoy doing that, too. it is interesting to see relative to where we are what other communities are like. we love it here, it is fantastic, but six dollar gas, sky high real estate prices, bridge tolls going up, it is and expensive place to live for a lot of people that really have a hard time making ends meet, so it is understandable some people have chosen to leave, and also during the pandemic, and a lot of people reevaluated their

lives and decided to make changes. we work with some people who made changes and moved to different parts of the country or changed careers because of that. larry: you make it sound so attractive here. dan: it is fabulous. i'm not saying that at all. larry: i wonder about the numbers because what we are not seeing is a dramatic drop in real estate prices. i did the rough math. there was, like, 160 thousand people leaving. dan: i do think there's still people moving in, though. i think there are a lot of people coming to the bay area. larry: speaking of relocating, check out an absolutely wild phenomenon in cuba. millions -- millions -- of land crabs started their migration from the forest. the close-up of a land crab is not great -- oh, no, they are feasting now. look out. they are crossing the street on their way to the bay. thousands of these little guys

fall victim, but because of the pandemic the past couple of years, residents say the craft -- the crabs have basically had the place to themselves, boosting their numbers. whoa, they are coming over the wall. i don't know if you want to be a tourist. oh, they look so cute. here come the other hundred thousand. great perspective. >> a vulture would be like, i'm going to clean up. larry: when you look at the close of of the crab, if the crowd was our size, i think it would be really scary. >> it is like a b horror movie. dan: the crabs i see around here run or move faster. i have never seen the move so slowly. >> maybe they don't have a natural predator there. ama: a new study has put a different spin on the phrase you

take plastic. researchers in the netherlands analyzed the blood of 22 people and found 80% of them had micro plastics in their blood. this is the first time plastic has been detected in the bloodstream of humans. previous studies found we take in enough micro plastics each week to equal the weight of a credit card. the most common micro plastics come from drink bottles, food packaging, and fabrics. and then what happens to that credit card amount of -- i don't know. that's just weird to think about. dan cold and weird and a little unnerving. we know there are toxins in plastic and some of it passes through, but i'm sure some of it does not. it think about what we are all exposed to on a daily basis, it is almost no wonder cancer rates are so high. i think our bodies can repel a certain number of things, but we are assaulted by chemicals all day long in everything we see and do. larry: it is not just the outside stuff going on.

if you see documentaries where these remote islands in the pacific, and the birds and fish are eating the plastic, and then we are eating them, the fish in particular. it makes sense, but it is kind of horrifying that this is the direction we are going in. we certainly have not reduced the amount of plastic we are consuming. >> if you ever see pictures of the pacific garbage patch, i believe is what it is called, and how big it is, that should put a little charge into you there. i was reading, like, 80% of fish have plastics in them now that we eat? larry: it is scary. something a little more enjoyable -- or not. ama: is it? larry: the first part is. major league baseball starts in a couple of weeks. now to part two, the manager is giving viewers another reason to despise his team. he appeared and guaranteed that

the dodgers would win the world series this year. the direct quote was "we will win the world series this year. put it on record." while the guarantee is a bit braggadocio's, most experts are picking the dodgers to win it all. >> just like last year. larry: they have spent $250 million or $260 million and just added freddie freeman, who is just tremendous, to a lineup of mookie betts -- i could go on and on. meanwhile, the giants -- the director of operations shopping like it is a salvation army with his platinum card. >> i like the confidence, but i don't know, when you put yourself out there like that, you are looking for trouble. >> my son and i were talking about this yesterday because being braves fans from atlanta -- >> also, boo.

>> we were comparing payrolls. the luxury tax is $230 million, and i believe with the signing of freddie freeman, that puts the dodgers against the second-tier luxury tax. they are spending like they are printing it. >> but a great point. this is what players were fighting about. 30 million versus a team spending $260 million -- you have to have a higher floor. oh, wow barbara corcoran! good morning. sorry, but we don't need any business help now. we're gigillionaires. what? we're gigillionaires now. i don't get it we have at&t business fiber with hyper-gig speeds. -but i just... -so thanks, we're doing great. i'm so happy for you! but i'm just here for my order. oh. entre-pin-eurs? yeah, my bowling team.

larry: march is women's history month and a time to share stories of the people who have paved the way for women's rights and equality. the dixie race in marin county has been a beloved bay area tradition, but what you may not know about is the hike, a separate race that gave women the opportunity to run long before they were allowed to participate in races. it takes you from downtown mill valley and up 1360 feet before it descends back down to stinson beach. liz has a look at the inspiring women behind this race and the women bringing awareness to it today. liz: since 19 from across the bay area and even around the world have run in this race. the annual 7.5-mile trail race that goes from new valley to stinson beach. >> before automobiles, really,ol

before radio. >> for all its fame and recognition, few know about its place in women's history and the fight to give women equal opportunity to participate in sports. >> 100 years ago, women were not allowed to compete because it was unhealthy for their reproductive health. >> yes, for decades women were not allowed to run in the race or any race. people thought it was too dangerous and undignified, but there was one exception, five years from 1918 to 1922. >> it had to be called a hike because people did not believe that women could race. but that did not stop these women. they did not just walk this trail. they ran it. >> and some even in heels. >> a lot of women at that time were wearing high heeled leather boots and really heavy woolen skirts. >> a member of the race committee shares a love of

studying these pioneering women with barry spitz. the best time -- an hour and 12 minutes. >> if you look at the results page, a woman running one hour 12 minutes will finish quite well. >> to this day? >> to this day. speaking of today, this marks 100 years since the last hike. it ended after pushback from detractors. >> when they finished the race, they were huffing and puffing, and the detractors said women cannot do this. they are jeopardizing their health. >> i was really shocked, kind of taken aback. >> one of the first boy scouts of america troops to include girlsrsinspired by the stories of these women, has decided to make the story part of her project and his hand
