what a thrilling game. the 40 niners came out with a win against the packers. with a minute left in the game. now they advance to the nfc title game and it rained on and off during the game. but that did not dampen the spirit of the faithful all over the bay area. abc seven news reporter anser hassan caught up with fans. >> playoff football is where nfl legends are made saturday night may have been a classic, but it was close. >> it was close. they played a good game. but you know, when the niners bang bang. we'll be back next week. >> it's probably the most stressed out i've been in a while to be honest. yeah, but they made up for it at the end. >> in the end. christian mccaffrey scored with a minute seven on the clock. the 40 niners trailed much of the second half, but as the saying goes, a win is a win. i thought it was wonderful. >> i mean, it kept us at the edge of our seats. we were stressed. you know. >> did you ever doubt that? no i had to have faith till the end. >> and we won. >> so it was wonderful and we were a season ticket holders. we

were just faithful. for a second. >> i thought that the packers had us. but you know the niners, you know how we was going to come through baby niner game. >> it wasn't the crushing defeat many 40 niners faithful predicted some fans point to the rain and the injury to deebo samuel. one of the key players today. uh christian mccaffrey, george kittle. >> debo got hurt, but he was a really good six three niner. 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 deep ends 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 is coming here with the 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 and proud. >> you got to love that niners energy christian mccaffrey said last night, admitting the team didn't play well but had a chance at the end and they took it and in his words, that's a sign of high character team. and i thought that was well said. and now all eyes lisa are to on next sunday. hopefully the weather cooperates. >> yeah we are looking good. we're looking like we're going to dry out after a little bit more rain on wednesday, but this is the big one tonight. we've been talking about it for days. it's a level two system. we have a flood watch up and the national weather service has issued a wind advisory. so these smaller storms leading up to this system that will allow for the accumulated rainfall. wait, do you see it in just a few minutes. so there's a look at our flood watch from 8:00 tonight through 10:00 monday. and the rain will be ending monday. but it's that lag time where we see the rivers and the streams rise. after that very

heavy rain. so we're looking at the rapid rising of creeks and streams because our rain rates are going to be quite intense from about midnight to 3 a.m. we're talking about a lot of rain in a short period of time. saturated soils. some of the soils are not ready to hold those shallow tree roots anymore. there's a look at the system offshore and right now it is quiet for the most part. we've seen a few showers up in santa rosa and even some sunshine shine out there, but we are still tracking this strongest storm tonight with moderate than heavy rain, gusty winds, and then those problems that will follow afterwards. here's a look at our wind advisory. south winds 15 to 25 miles an hour. gust to 40. and take a look. this is noontime today. it's breezy along the coast, but you can make out the stronger winds. 7:00 tonight. look at all the reds here. all the way down the san mateo coast to the santa cruz mountains. and stopping this at 11:00, where the front is just about to push

onshore in these winds at 40 miles an hour. so really, wind advisory warranted. and we will have that very heavy rain to follow. here's a look at uh- outside right now. sfo 55, in oakland, 57, in san jose and half moon bay and the golden gate bridge. cloudy skies where temperatures are in the low 50s. and as we look at our high resolution model, you'll notice that by the next few hours, it does stay damp in the north bay and then the rain increase is look at what happens to 3:00. we've got some light shower activity around the bay area, but the heaviest rain still off to the north and west. and then as we go through the dinner hour, it is getting more organized. 530 we're getting into some of the moderate to heavy rain here in the north bay. and then right on through the evening and the late overnight hours. we have a strong line of some heavy rain, and that is going to sweep on through, probably wake you up along with the winds. here's a look at tonight's rainfall potential. look at an inch and a half in the north bay. but the rest of us only a couple

hundreds to about a 10th to 2/10. then look what happens when we add in the overnight totals. this is just three four hours and we are well over three inches of rain here in santa rosa an inch and a third in novato. and we will pick up at least a half inch to three quarters of an inch in just that time frame, 3 to 4 hours from the east bay to the south bay. so particularly dangerous because it's dark out. it's late. we have the wind and the rain accompanying that short time period of all that activity. we still have our winter storm warning for the west slopes right on through 1 a.m. tuesday, and then for the sierra nevada, still a little bit of snow to pick up. we have still some of the wet snow anywhere from four inches tahoe city, south lake and nine inches at donner. so that is a little bit of good news for most of us. it's dry from the east bay to the south bay throughout the day today, but scattered light showers in the north bay. and as we get into the overnight hours, we are looking at that chance of rain still continuing the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got a level two system

today, tomorrow, possible flooding and then drier and warmer as we get to the rest of the week. except for wednesday just ahead. >> we're going to be speaking directly to the san francisco district attorney about what she plans to change in the city to lower crime. that's coming up. with fargo, the new virtual assistant from wells fargo. >> you can instantly know what you spend on things like food. >> fargo, what did i spend on groceries this month? hey, dad, can the guy stay for dinner? >> no. >> what? faster. easier banking. you can with wells fargo. it's time to let the latest in mattress technology take your quality of sleep to the next level at the living spaces sleep center, you'll discover the adaptive sleep mattress, which uses eight zones, 80 smart cells, and thousands of algorithms to continuously adapt. >> to reach the support, you need throughout the night. download the app to select your preferred firmness, track your sleep and activate relaxation mode, which launches a gentle wave motion experience.

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, roads, safe, slow streets, a downtown plaza with transit, family friendly parks and open space and walkable main streets. it would 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 manufacturing, 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, sramek says. he's locating this new community he 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 neighborhoods. this would feature as gabe has mentioned,

jobs, housing, retail, and all 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 sramek, 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, you're 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. we'll be right back. >> dinosaur adventure roars into san jose one weekend only. >> santa clara fairgrounds with life size dinosaurs and massive family fun experience. >> the thrill of the prehistoric

vacationer will say, yeah, who? >> i'm gonna live here. >> but as the euphoria subsides, the realization hits. >> i gotta sell the house. >> don't worry. just sell and buy in one move. when you start with open door. wow. oh, yes. start start with an all cash offer at open door. com. huh? sir >> everyone, i ran out of space and time. >> why are we even doing this? try. job done. >> dear lord, have mercy. you know what this is, right? trash trash. welcome back >> you know you like. >> can i tell you a secret? what . >> building a better bay area moving forward. finding

solutions. this is abc seven news. good morning. >> thank you for sharing part of your drizzly morning with us, huh? >> yeah. that's right. we still have a few light showers out there. but the main event, the heavy rain arriving tonight, this evening as we look at live doppler seven, you can see the cloud shield offshore. and as we go in closer still, a little bit of a mist and lightrillionain in the higher elevations. the national weather service has issued a flood watch for the north bay. 8:00 tonight through 10:00 tomorrow night. this is a level two system arriving with moderate, then heavy rain. the north bay will be about two hours ahead of everyone with the very heavy rain. the gusty winds 15 to 25 miles an hour out of the south, gusting to 40. and as we look outside, lots of gray sky, we saw a little bit of sunshine here and there. 54, san francisco, 57. half moon bay, the coast. that's going to be a spot where we see some very heavy rain in a short period of time, and we'll look for the next couple of hours to remain pretty quiet. but then by the

afternoon, we're already seeing the rain advancing to the north bay. >> this is 3:00. >> it gets kind of heavy as we get towards the afternoon, and that spreads to the south and east, and we'll talk rain totals in a few minutes. stephanie. >> all right, lisa, thank you. well it's been just over one year since san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins assumed office. and this morning, we're taking a look back at what's been accomplished. and the work ahead. d.a. jenkins joins us live. now this sunday morning, d.a. thank you for being with us . >> thank you for having me. >> absolutely. well, to start off, during your first week in office, you stressed you would prioritize cleaning up the city, specifically the tenderloin. how would you grade the livability right now in the tenderloin? >> i think we still have a great deal of work to do in the tenderloin. i don't think we can celebrate just yet. we know that every time that we go and talk with residents and business owners there, that they are still very frustrated with the street conditions. uh- my office is working very hard to prosecute those who continue to

deal drugs on the streets there. we are meaningfully working hard to try to strategize with the department of public health and the police department and the mayor's office with how we address those who are addicted to fentanyl, who we know need our help and need treatment desperately. um, and so we are continuing to make progress. we've got great partnerships with other law enforcement agencies, but we still have a long way to go to give our viewers perspective from your lens, you talked about a lot of the work you're doing now. >> what's changed in that area since you've assumed office and would you walk alone with your own kids through that area? >> what we have seen is, is a tremendous decrease in the number of dealers that are out during the daytime hours. we're seeing that that activity shift out to the nighttime. and so we know that once the sun sets that that is when we start to see an uptick in the level of people who are loitering, the people who are dealing drugs, the people who are coming out to

purchase drugs, who are illegally selling stolen goods. and so, yes, we have had to now shift much of our strategy to working on having a police presence and other agencies present at night to do outreach and enforcement. um, yeah. yes, of course. i have two children. they are four and seven and i would not want them to see, um, you know, walking through many of the things that i see when i walk through the tenderloin and i understand that there are many parents and many children living there who are wrestling with that same issue. and so it is our job as a city to make sure that we give them livable conditions down there. and so that's what i'm working hard to do now. >> the conviction rate in san francisco has increased for the first time in eight years, according to data from your office, 37% of cases resulted in a conviction in 2022 to almost 43% in 2023. it is the first time since 2016 that those rates have increased. how is the city

safer because of this? >> what we are trying to demonstrate is that we have accountability. back in san francisco, those who are coming into. our businesses attacking our residents, uh, doing all the things that have been going on are understanding that we have a new system here, that we believe in accountability, that there will be consequences. uh, and so we are not going to tolerate the things that have been happening over the past few years. and so i want that trend to continue. um, i've really worked hard to hire additional staff in our office who have prosecuted experience, who understand what it takes to prove our cases and get this job done. and so i think that's why we are seeing, um, an increased ability both at jury trial and in getting defendants to take plea offers, tackling open air drug markets have been a priority for you. >> will you be doing anything different to pursue drug related prosecutions this year?

>> we are going to continue to partner with the federal government and other local law enforcement agencies. again, some some of the things that we need to do are to ramp up our overdose death, uh, investigations. that's something that we are embarking on this year. um, the governor's office has dedicated resources to that. and so we have been undergoing training along with other, uh, law enforcement agencies, so that we can start investigating overdose deaths and perhaps start prosecuting those who are selling fentanyl, causing these deaths with murder, so that is something that that will take off this year. um, but we have to continue to strategize how we can have an impact with those who are addicted. i believe that is our biggest struggle right now is how do we intervene with those who are who are addicted to fentanyl? it is a very difficult drug, um, to get through. you know, when you're talking about how addictive that substance is. and so, again, this is a part of a public health strategy that needs to be

improved in our city. >> well, speaking of fentanyl, i want to talk about the case of 22 year old eduardo rosales silva, who was arrested in may of 2022 for possession to sell cocaine, fentanyl and meth, but was released by a judge and he was then arrested four more times for selling drugs. his sentence, as you know, 18 months in jail, does that concern you? >> i was very frustrated with that sentence. um, he essentially got credit for time served, um, and was released, uh, almost immediately following that trial. and so, again, this is somebody who is demonstrated an unwillingness to follow the law, continuing to peddle death on our streets. and yet, even after going through the resources it takes to prosecute a case to jury trial, taking up the time of jurors, we're still seeing judges come in on the back end and give these lenient sentences. we cannot out keep dealing with this issue so leniently. we have to send a message that we're not going to

tolerate fentanyl dealing in our city anymore. >> now, where does recidivism stand in san francisco currently? would you say it's gotten worse? better or the same ? >> i would say when i took over, uh, it was at its height. uh, people did not believe there was any accountability. they were being released immediately after their arrest. and so the courthouse was a revolving door. and in many ways, despite my office fighting against that, it still is for certain types of crime. that's why i've been so vocal about the judge's impact when it comes to us asking to detain certain drug dealers while their cases are open, we are still seeing that it's taking 3 or 4 arrests for that to happen. and that shouldn't be the case. we are seeing progress, though, when it comes to other types of nonviolent crime like organized retail theft, where we are seeing, um, some of those defendants be held in and so, um, it is it is progress. but again, we still have a long way to go. >> uh, san francisco recently

received a $2 million grant to fight property crime. how is this helping your office? yes our the recent grant was, with respect to organized retail theft. >> it has allowed me to appoint a designated prosecutor just to organize retail theft, as well as an investigation in my office. both of those individuals are working with regional law enforcement as well as business owners and retailers , to really target the most prolific, uh, organized retail theft groups and rings. um, so that we have firm accountability in those cases so that we can connect them across counties, because we know that in this region, they are they are going from county to county committing these same crimes. and so i'm very thankful for those resources. the police department was able to secure $15 million through that grant. and so again, working together, we're being able to target this issue more effectively. and we're seeing that number, that percentage of crime also come

down as well. >> now before we go, we've covered a lot here. if you had to pick one, what is the main priority you want to tackle on the streets of san francisco in 2024? >> right now i believe it's two. it's hard to choose between. uh, we must continue to improve street conditions in our south of market and tenderloin neighborhoods. we cannot give up that fight. we have to decrease the number of overdose deaths. and that means, again, having an effective strategy with public health to address those who are addicted and on the law enforcement side, do more to ensure that we are holding drug dealers accountable. but we also can't forget that retail theft is a huge problem in this city. we have a safeway closing in the fillmore district. i cannot accept watching our businesses close because of rampant theft. we have to make sure that that is a priority as well, because we have to have access to goods and we have to maintain jobs for our residents.

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 green 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 down 2421 san francisco the fans into it last chance for the packers. they need a stop. once again the niners do as john lynch up

stairs. high five. love and 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. that game just felt 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 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 when you're hit by a delivery driver with too many packages and not enough time, it's no surprise and no excuse. >> justice takes more than a fighter. you need a champion walk, a personal injury law visit, walk up law.com. >> there's only one thing that separates a good detective from a great one. >> the truth man has been murdered on the ship and the killer is among us. >> preposterous. >> no alibi. then excuse me. when we get to the fun part. >> oh my god, you already know everything. >> it's more fun when you unravel it yourself. >> somebody has to solve this murder doesn't always have to be you, though. but i'm so good at

it. >> pay attention. details matter . >> corinthia presents the abc's of ckd. a is for awareness because knowing that your chronic kidney disease and type two diabetes could progress to dialysis is important. b is for belief that there may be more you can do. just remember that k is for kidneys and chirindia for adults living with ckd and type two diabetes, chirindia is proven to reduce the risk of kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. chirindia is a once daily tablet that treats ckd differently than type two diabetes medications to help slow the progression of kidney damage and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks. do not take chirindia if you have problems with your adrenal glands or take certain medications called cyp3a4 inhibitors, chirindia can cause hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in your blood. ask your doctor before taking products containing potassium chirindia can also cause low blood pressure and low sodium levels. so now that you know your abcs, don't wait, kidney damage from ckd and ttd is not reversible. so ask your doctor about slowing your kidney

damage with chirindia after a catastrophic injury. >> there are a million what ifs, but the most important question is what now? justice takes more than a fighter. you need a champion walk, a personal injury law visit, walk up law.com we are following breaking news out of half moon bay. >> the san mateo sheriff's office is investigating the shooting of a 22 year old man at the moon ridge apartments in half moon bay. it happened around 730 last night, and the sheriff tells me that the man is still alive. but the incident has, of course, shaken the community, which is preparing to honor the seven lives lost in a mass shooting a year ago. all right. turning our attention to weather now, lisa, how's it looking outside? well we have some scattered showers this morning, and that is sort of an advance of what's to come. >> we have a strong system here offshore that is going to bring not only the heavy rain, but we

could see some nuisance flooding . so live doppler seven showing you the scattering of some light shower activity from the east bay to the north bay. the hills looking pretty wet there. and as we go through fairfield 80 sonoma. so don't be surprised. did you see the dry conditions and then you have a shower? they will increase throughout the afternoon. first in the north bay right now it is 54, in san francisco, 55, oakland 57 san jose and in santa cruz an inch of rain overnight into tomorrow. and many of you will see at least a half inch to three quarters of an inch as we get towards that eight 9:00 hour through 3 a.m. so a lot coming down in a short period of time with wind accompanying that 53. santa rosa 54. in napa and 52 in livermore. and you can see how wet it is out there from our east bay. scattered showers throughout the day today. they'll be increasing first in the north bay by the middle of the afternoon. and then that strong storm this evening, tonight and overnight. chance of a thunderstorm, wind. and with all that, we have the lag time

on monday where the creeks and streams could provide some nuisance flooding. some of the clogged drains and the saturated soil, allowing for perhaps some trees to come down. here's a look at 10:00, where you can see the atmosphere primed for a little moisture. some light rain and it continues throughout the afternoon. this is a 4:00, but look at what is on the way. stopping this at 7:00. heavy rain along the marin county coast and then we get the wind and we could see some very strong storms here. probably will wake you up from the heavy rain, the wind and then by 1:00 in the morning, the east bay, the south bay. we're still going to see this impact. the morning commute for the south bay and the peninsula. so not only does it get started late, but it continues for the very early morning hours. stopping this tonight, 11:00, an inch and a half in the north bay. so much of it falling in the north bay. but as we carry on three four hours later, still will in the north bay, upwards of 1 to 3in here. but look what happens across the san ramon in fremont.

in san mateo, you're picking up a pretty good amount of rain as well. richmond 0.93. san francisco. so could see a quarter of an inch. so it could be very dicey for your monday morning commute. there's a look at the wind, a 7:00 tonight. very gusty along the coast. breezy inside the bay. and then look at the 40 mile an hour gusts as that front begins to push onshore. so we are looking at a little bit more snow in the mountains for the west slope. the winter storm warning continues through tuesday. here's a look at the snowfall amounts. how about nine inches at donner? four inches tahoe city and the highs today with most of the rain in the north bay, but scattered showers anywhere. perhaps 62, in fremont tomorrow morning. be prepared to give yourself some extra time. we're going to see that heavy rain come to an end mid-morning. the accuweather seven day forecast level two system this evening, tonight, overnight into early monday. then we get a break for much of tuesday. some showers, a lighter system. wednesday. looking dry the rest of the week. we'll be right back
