delivering safe, clean water to their households. but there is a lot and this is, you know, our number one priority right now. >> the dam was drained after valley water was ordered to rebuild it to meet modern safety standards. but before they can do that, the 20 foot wide tunnel has to be finished. >> we're finishing our tunnel project first. next we go to the seismic retrofit, which is the mandate from the state of california. that's when we actually bring down the dam and retrofit the dam. >> valley water says the tunnel will let them release more water faster and safer during major storms or emergencies. that could help avoid the floods like the one san jose saw in 2017 when the dam went above capacity . workers have been drilling for the tunnel since november of 2022, and by the end of this summer they finished almost half in september. they used the help of this controlled blasting to take their work even further. project manager ryan mccarter breaks down what all of those flashing explosions are, and those are the fuzes or the delays as those are, are sending a charge into the rock. >> and so there's a hole drilled about 6 to 8ft in with a charge

the atmosphere and look at perhaps a few scattered showers throughout the day. there's a look outside at sfo where the sun comes up just after 7:00. so already out there, the cars and damp roadways, breezy winds, so spotty showers, the gusty winds with us throughout the day. and then looking at a sunnier sunday with north winds allowing for a steady warm up as we get through early next week in the warmest days right now, look to be about wednesday and thursday. but it looks like the warmth will take us through the potential fleet week that may happen next weekend. here's a look at you can see as we go through the afternoon. notice in the east bay here, this is the morning hours from livermore to san jose and the rotation of that low allowing for the showers to really kind of stay with us on and off, just scattered about throughout the day and we're not looking at much anywhere from a couple hundredths and this is accumulated precip right on through 8:00 tonight. so if you see any, it will be short lived

and definitely the higher elevations, a better chance there. maybe around mount diablo and sit down through the santa cruz mountains up in the north bay as well. so that's about all we have for you. but with that, the winds will be quite breezy throughout the morning hours. it's already breezy. san francisco. and then as we go into the afternoon, 20 to maybe 30 miles an hour from oakland to the shoreline, it'll be breezy again, but different direction for your sunday look what happens on monday, warming up through the 80s. we haven't seen really any warm weather in quite some time. 60 and 70 across the bay. and then as we get into your tuesday, this is where the heat begins to arrive. not even the warmest day, though. you can see some 90s here. then by wednesday, looking at more widespread 90s with those 70 soquel's, it's actually going to warm up right along the coast. so as for today, we'll call it partly to mostly cloudy with a scattered shower out there. temperatures on the way, way cool side of average, 68 for san jose. that's about all we can manage. barely 70, 71 in concord

and the accuweather 70 forecast that level one system bringing the light scattered showers today and then getting on the back side of it tomorrow for much sunnier conditions. and then the warm up really begins through the week next week by the middle of the week, it's pretty hot out there at typical classic october weather. so all we need now are the blue angels. >> yeah, i know. >> let's just put the icing on the cake. but at this point, we're not looking at any strong offshore winds. >> oh, good. that's always so much fun. fleet week. yeah yeah. if it happens. if it happens, let's hope so. right. all right. well, thank you, lisa. coming up, an effort to end encampments. the latest move to get people off the streets and into shelter as one south bay city sees a drop in homelessness . for the best price. and when you save more on the things you need, you can get more of the things you want. that's why if you find the same product for less, we'll match it. shop now with the confidence of our lowest price guarantee.

2021, that was fool's gold. the giants thought they were good. they were real contenders. in reality, the whole roster overachieved the squad was not nearly as good as it appeared. and the minor league system. this is on farhan zaidi has not produced big time stars. now the question is who takes over and will that help the giants land a star free agent in the off season? >> no. gabe kapler managing the giants after his firing, but they still had a game on friday night, the start of a final three game series against the dodgers. thairo estrada headlined to start things off, he receives the 2023 willie mac award. his daughter even threw out the first pitch to him. i think she's got a future on the mound on to the game first inning and the dodgers say we are in first place in the division and this is why will smith gone dodgers with an early lead up three one in the third and wilmer flores says i can do that too mr. 2022 willie mac award winner make it 3 to 2 in the top of the sixth. hey, i think we got a game right? maybe

where the rain is showing up. but it will be hit or miss. and we are looking at mild temperatures, 59 in sunnyvale as well as campbell and 60 for you in newark. upper 50s in the north bay. visibility not an issue or a 24 hour temperature change. much milder anywhere from 3 to 6 degrees warmer this morning. it's going to be much cooler this afternoon and we're talking 10 to 15, even 20 degrees cooler as we were near the upper 70s. yes today, early on before the clouds moved on in so damp areas, this morning, some spotty showers. the breezy winds and then looking at a sunnier sunday and a big warm up as we get through that first full week of october. let's take you through the day today. and you'll notice how the showers just kind of pop up randomly here and there. the east bay, the south bay, even in the north bay, late in the day, the upper elevations and down through ben loman, late in the afternoon. so this is just an example of where you could see some of the shower activity there could be others.

and so as we add it up, you'll notice that everybody could see maybe just a splash out there. and we've already seen some of that. we've seen 4/100 up on mission peak right now, 2/100 in hayward and looking at about 1/100 throughout the late evening hours, even in the north bay. so not a whole lot out there. most of it is to the east of us. and as we look at our winds, those will be quite breezy throughout the day today. anywhere from 25 to 30 miles an hour. and then they will back off throughout the overnight hours as we look at the week ahead, notice the coolest day today, saturday, we should be about 80 in livermore and we'll be shy of that even with our warm up tomorrow. but monday, tuesday, you'll notice the warming trend a little subtle and then it gets quite dramatic into the middle of the week. so we'll see those 90s looks like they're going to last into the weekend. so if you like the warmer weather, finally, we're getting that typical warmer weather throughout the week next week. but as for today, cool out there, breezy, maybe an isolated

shower. we're looking at a level one system mid 60s downtown. so it has been kind of cool. but look at the temperatures only near 70, not even at 70, perhaps in the livermore valley today, 67 in napa, mid 60s, palo alto. so the accuweather seven day forecast looking at the coolest day of the week today northerly winds tomorrow a brighter sunday then we'll get some warming into monday. tuesday we're going to see temperatures warm all around the bay. but by the middle of the week, it's that classic october warmth and even maybe some beach weather by the en of the week
