had us. >> but you know, the niners, you know how we was going to come through bang bang niner game. >> it wasn't the crushing defeat many 40 niner faithful predicted. some fans point to the rain and the injury to deebo samuel. who are the key players today? uh christian mccaffrey, george kittle. >> debo got hurt but used a really good six three niners. i know a little bit better bang bang over a second. >> was was was kind of like i think sluggish because they hadn't played in three weeks. but the defense should have been a little bit better because they should have been on top of it. >> san francisco will now host the nfc championship game against the winner of sunday's detroit first tampa bay. >> hey, whoever's coming here with his detroit tampa bay, hey, we're going to be ready. and of course, i'm believing nothing but a victory. but when they come here, it's going to be we're going to be the faithful. we're going to be loud. we're going to be proud, and we're going to support these niners to victory. and let's go to the bowl, baby. at levi's stadium anser hassan abc seven news loud

we are left with some very scattered light showers for much of the morning hours. and then we'll begin to increase the rain in the north bay for the afternoon. 54 in oakland it is 56. in hayward, and temperatures in the mid 50s to low 50s in the north bay as well, with the wet pavement and looking at the winds right now in the upper elevations, still quite breezy. we do have that wind advisory that is going to bring in the gusty winds right along the coast. so scattered showers throughout the afternoon today in the north bay, spreading throughout the rest of the bay area. but the heavy rain, the gusty winds, the downpours, the chance of a thunderstorm coming in very late tonight for a level two system and those possible impacts bringing the flooding as we get through monday because it takes some time for the water to recede and then we'll get that break on tuesday. lighter rain expected on wednesday. here's a look at the wind right now. it is still pretty breezy along the coast. and then throughout the

afternoon it continues to be breezy out of the south. and then here's a look at the high wind gusts right along the coast. 9:00 tonight. and this is when that heavy rain will be advancing into the north bay. and then spreading all across the bay area. so our high resolution model brings in a few showers in the north bay. but then we get the break in the morning. here's the afternoon. it's already coming back by 1:00. heavier rain staying up to the north till the later hours. this is 430 and you can see some downpours ready to hit the coast and stopping this at nine 10:00 tonight. and you can see some of those oranges and reds, allowing for those high rain rates tonight. so midnight tonight. we're picking up another inch to two inches in the north bay. the highest elevations. but look what happens overnight. an additional half inch from the east bay to the peninsula. so that's when you're going to get the heavier rain for the rest of the bay area. still looking at some snowy conditions for our winter storm warning through early tuesday for the west slopes of the sierra, the ski

resorts anywhere from 4 to 10in of snow possible right now, below freezing in the mountains and temperatures was mild today. 62, in fremont, palo alto and then waking up to those showers for your monday morning. possible flooding there late tonight. our level two system. it continues into the wee hours of monday morning. the afternoon is dry level one system late tuesday into wednesday, maybe a quarter of an inch there and then sunnier and warmer. the rest of results or just rhetoric.

the local media associations covering climate collaborative miles of wall stretching into the horizon divide the united states from mexico. >> but now there is growing evidence that newly constructed sections are also dividing a critical habitat, disrupting natural migrations. both of animals that eventually manage to work their way through the fence and those too large to cross at all the border wall is creating a massive continental scale environmental experiment that we're all along for the ride with, and it's going to affect the evolutionary history of these species. emily burns is a researcher with the nonprofit sky island alliance. over the last several years, the group has been placing wildlife cameras along sections of the border wall in arizona to document its impact on any given night. smaller animals like these javelinas can slip through small openings at the base, perhaps followed by a lucky porcupine. but now watch as this black bear, a species endangered

in mexico, paces along the length of the wall, searching for an opening, while even an agile mountain lion is blocked as well and they are a species that need a lot of space. >> mountain lions, especially the males. once they get old enough and leave their mother, they need to establish their own territory and they're just looking for simple things that that everybody looks for shelter, food, food, mates and water. you know, that's what it's all about. >> and that extended range can be critical for long time survival. it's a lesson we've certainly learned here in the bay area, where urban areas intersect with open space migration pathways that can often extend hundreds of miles. zara mcdonald is with the bay area puma project. her group tracks mountain lions and other animals with wildlife cameras similar to those being used at the border. she worries about obstacles like freeways that can make it difficult for the animals to roam freely and mate, meaning that sub-pop nations themselves. >> you know, are more susceptible to disease is to

inbreeding. and so genetic disorders. her group lobbies for land bridges or storm drain type tubes that can make crossing dangerous areas safer for finding those solutions. there are sections of freeways that lions are being killed on. >> back in arizona, the sky island alliance is working on solutions for the border wall as well. >> it can be a no cost solution of just opening floodgates in the wall to allow storm water to drain either way, across the border. those can be used by many animals to cross back and forth as much as i don't want to live with the wall in our backyard, we are. and so our priority has to be finding creative ways that don't jeopardize national security but make it better for wildlife. >> protecting a critical animal habitat in a landscape being changed by humans. dan ashley abc seven news. >> now, there's a lot happening on this issue that includes a lawsuit by more than a dozen states, forcing the government

as 400,000 students will be affected before the spring semester begins. calif faculty association, which represent. 29,000 staff, is demanding a 12% salary increase and expanded parental leave. san jose state, san francisco state and cal state east bay in hayward will all be impacted. the strike is expected to last for five days. closer to home this morning, the billionaire backed group that's trying to build a new city in solano county filed a ballot initiative to take the issue to voters. this is the first time the public is getting to see a detailed plan on how this would all work. i've been following this story since the beginning. new renderings from california forever give a glimpse of what this new city, spanning 18,000 acres in eastern solano county, would look like. aerials of neighborhoods, woods, safe, slow streets, a downtown plaza with transit, family friendly parks and open space and walkable main streets. it will be smaller than vacaville, smaller than vallejo,

and about two thirds the size of fairfield, ceo jan sramek explains. if passed by the voters, the new city expected to accommodate tens of thousands of people, promises 15,000 new jobs that pay at least 125% of the county average weekly wage. he says some of these jobs would be in advanced math featuring renewable energy and construction. the plan also commits to investing in green spaces, clean energy and protecting travis air force base. we want it to be a partner that can make the base stronger, ceramic says. he's locating this new community seen here in blue outside of travis noise and safety zones, which are colored in yellow. on this map and nearly doubling the current security buffer around travis, which is colored in green. on this map, we are permitting solar farms in that area, but we have expressly given travis a veto and an approval on the technology to be used in those solar farms, those solar farms, if built, would supply enough clean power to power the

equivalent of 1.5 million homes, sramek says. one of the largest stressors on travis is the cost of housing for military personnel. >> we would be building a community that provides affordable homes of all different types that particularly young families are having to. travis can afford california forever launched a series of financial assistance programs to help families and students with affordability. >> this includes $400 million for down payment assistance and $70 million for college scholarships. ships. >> we are proposing a connected network of complete neighborhood nodes. this would feature as gabe has mentioned, jobs, housing, retail, and all of the services from barbershops and cafes to grocery stores, health care providers, workspaces and public parks all within 5 to 10 minute walk. >> according to this map, the orange area would be the neighborhood mixed use zone, where there would be a mix of townhomes and apartments from 3 to 6 stories. the pink area would be the downtown zone, the darkest purple is the industry and technology zone. the light

purple would be a maker and manufacturing zone. >> the initiative commits to ten acres of open space per 1000 residents. >> but congressman john garamendi, who recently had a sit down meeting with schrameck, isn't sold on the plans. >> but basically what they want to do is to extend the urban sprawl from from the sunset district of san francisco all the way through solano county. come on guys, your. plan doesn't work. and by the way, where's the water? so where is the water? >> we have enough water for our new community. >> california forever says it's currently undergoing a water supply assessment and verification, both of these are regulated under state law and require us to prove that we have enough water for every home that we bring online. >> for the next 30 or 40 years. this includes drought conditions . >> bottom line is there's no more water. they have no real water plan. they don't have a bucket to hold water as far as transportation, the company says

they plan on constructing a new double lane road off of highway 12. >> that would help divert traffic coming from i-80. >> those are rural roads. who's going to pay for that now, before any of this would move forward, voters have to approve it. >> in november, the initiative needs roughly 14,000 signatures to get on the ballot, and in order to pass, it needs just over 50% of the vote coming up. low temperatures, heavy snow and ice still ahead on abc seven mornings. the dangerous winter conditions we're seeing in other parts of the country right now. and here's a live look closer to home here in san francisco, atop our roof camera. looking at the bay bridge this morning, lisa will have an update on

still talking about the 40 niners. big win against the packers last night. now the faithful gets ready for the nfc championship. exactly one week from today. abc seven sports reporter chris alvarez has all the highlights from levi's stadium. >> good morning. welcome to levi's stadium. the site of the 40 niners and packers, a 10th

playoff game, the most in nfl history. and this one was a classic, but not in the way you would expect. let's go to the highlights from saturday night. a cold and rainy night at levi's stadium. how would brock purdy and the guys respond after a bye week? well, they started slow and first quarter deebo samuel hit hard here. look like he maybe had a head injury. it ended up being a shoulder injury . they were working on him. he did not play after halftime. second quarter green bay up three. nothing and this is a huge stop early in the game. packers go on fourth down. they try to sneak it. they didn't get it kyle shanahan fired up about those results. the niners respond with a 12 play 86 yard drive. it's brock purdy rolling right. finding george kittle for the touchdown. the niners led 7 to 6 at the half. and you see deebo samuel is purdy is always fired up. deebo in street clothes midway through the third. now niners down 13 seven. and christian mccaffrey there he goes breaking loose breaking tackles and finding his way to the end zone 128. all purpose

yards. that's the first of his two touchdowns 1413 lead. but green bay they answer jordan loved to tucker craft. that made it 2114 packers. as this game went back and forth trent williams visibly frustrated on the bench. late third quarter. now love same score. his throw a little high and dre greenlaw comes up with his first pick of the night a big play on defense. and deebo cheering on his guys. under two minutes to go in the fourth. niners down four. purdy buying time using his legs. willie score no but a huge nine yard gain. and then very next play. how about the stanford man give cmc the mvp maybe touchdown 2421 san francisco and the fans into it last chance for the packers. they need a stop. once again the niners do as john lynch upstairs. high five. love rolling right. throws against his body. and there's greenlaw with a diving interception that will seal the deal. he had two

picks in this game. niners faithful fired up nick bosa. he's all the 40 niners faithful. the niners hang on 2421. back to the nfc championship tip. >> that game just fell right off. you know pretty much the whole game until the end there. and so to be able to persevere through the adversity and to have mature guys on the team who can, you know, strap up and go out there and find a way to get a win at the end. it's a sign of a good team, even when you're playing bad. >> that's how you got to get it done. you know, we talk about it all the time, grimy wins. that's as grimy as it gets. i think that's going to help us going forward. knowing that it doesn't matter what what type of game it is, we can win any way we want it. >> you know, we've been thinking about it. it's been sort of in the back of our of our minds. like last year we had a team to do it. and, um, you know, we feel like obviously we didn't have a real opportunity at it after the quarterbacks got hurt in that game. so yeah, i think we're really excited for it. >> so up next for the 40 niners,

either the bucs or the lions, the winner of that game will come to levi's next sunday for the nfc championship. and a chance to go to the super bowl. that is your look at sports. have a great sunday. let's send it back to you. >> we need that win next sunday. all right. the bills mafia is looking to fill the blank space in its stomach. the buffalo bills and their stadium food partners released new taylor swift inspired menu items. they've added the bad blood waffle fries and the karma quesadilla to the list. this is just in time for the division round matchup against the chiefs today, and it's unknown whether taylor will be there to watch her boyfriend travis kelce play against the bills. what do you think lisa? >> oh i got to say go bills i'm a western new york native so yeah. all right good morning everybody. we are looking at some wet weather that continues throughout the afternoon today. but the heavy rain coming in tonight for some nuisance flooding could see some shallow landslides. the ground is pretty saturated at higher elevations. the santa cruz mountains have picked up anywhere from an inch and a half an inch, and a third

from mount diablo, and over an inch of rain mount tam so once again, we're going to see some heavy rain, but it's going to last longer. and as we look at live doppler seven right now, we have a break, a little bit of shower activity from healdsburg to guerneville. otherwise as you can see, just a few light showers over the hills of the east bay. we're in the mid 50s in hayward. you picked up about a third to a half of an inch of rain, so not a whole lot for most of us. but the upper elevations, the coastal hills and the north bay really getting nailed overnight tonight. but everyone's going to see the heavy rain and the gusty winds. so right now the winds are in the upper elevations from 20 to about 30 miles an hour. and we are looking at the scattered showers to increase throughout the afternoon in the north bay. but the morning hours pretty quiet. the evening hours will be looking at the downpours, the windy conditions, the chance of a thunderstorm and then by tomorrow, the possibility of that nuisance flooding and then things begin to calm down. later into monday, there's a look at the winds that we're expecting throughout the afternoon, mainly

along the coast. breezy inside the bay, but once that front gets closer to 3040 mile an hour winds all the way down through santa cruz and big sur and the peninsula. so keep that in mind. good idea not to be out and about later on tonight. but as for the first part of the day, it's pretty quiet. look what happens by about 1:00 though. the north bay already getting wet and the heavier rain still staying up to the north throughout the afternoon. and then it all shifts to the south and east so you can see the band of oranges here, even some reds potentially. and this will take us right on through early early monday morning. and then we have that lag time afterwards where we're going to see the creeks and some of the streams rise, and it's going to take well on through monday afternoon for those to recede. so this is through sunday day. you can see how quickly the rainfall adds up in the north bay to over two inches, maybe three inches. and the rest of the bay, you're thinking not so much, right? but then we get into the heavy rain overnight for an additional half inch to three quarters of an

inch, perhaps for the rest of the bay area. so we're concerned about that. heavy rain rates and the saturated soil in a short period of time, maybe 4 or 5 hours. we're still looking at some snow in the mountains, but not a lot of this has been wet. snow it's cold now, below freezing, and we're looking at another ten inches or so. so in donner, with four inches south lake. so highs today with mainly north bay rain, scattered showers 62 in fremont overnight tonight the heavy rain the possibility of some flooding, the chance of a thunderstorm, gusty winds, the accuweather seven day forecast at the level two system and then watching some of that flooding, perhaps some shallow landslides, maybe into your monday and then a break on tuesday and lighter rain late tuesday into wednesday , and looking pretty good for the rest of the week. so a lot of us have not seen a whole lot of rain, but it's the consecutive rain. and then we've had the breaks, which is the good news. but now comes the heavy stuff. tonight and a small break on tuesday. >> my gosh, it's like we get a break.

>> yeah, we'll be actually above average santa rosa and coming up to near average elsewhere. great. >> so beneficial rain. totally. all right lisa thank you. we'll reminder that you can watch all our newscast live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. you can download the app now and start streaming well. for foodies and film buffs, the best of both worlds collide and a new show, george pinocchio is at sundance film festival and spoke with the stars. >> chrissy teigen is inviting us to dinner at the sundance film festival. i'm george pinocchio in park city, utah. i'll explain. coming
