only temporary, and the city of capitola tells me that that's on purpose. they've just launched a long term study to explore possible options for permanent facilities. at the end of the wharf in capitola. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> that's so nice to see that back. >> it is so exciting. hopefully they have good weather for that too. >> meteorologist sandhya patel can answer that question. >> sandy. yeah, they're going to have some nice weather. dan and karina, i do want to show you where it's not so nice. tropical storm helene has formed. it is going to strengthen. it's already stronger. so as we take a look at the satellite picture, expected to actually become a category one as it nears the yucatan peninsula tomorrow morning, with 75 mile an hour winds becoming a major category three hurricane as it nears the coast of florida thursday morning. with 115 mile an hour winds, considerable flooding is expected along with the storm surge. this is stronger now. max sustained winds of 60 miles an hour. turning your attention to our weather in california. this is from silver springs up in the

sierra. beautiful view of the setting sun. we do have the marine layer regrouping and it's going to spread. and that's going to drive those temperatures down tomorrow afternoon. low 60s to low 80s sunshine inland. but the coast will remain socked in thursday. temperatures bounce back. we're going to see some upper 80s. and by friday the heat is back. but the good news is it's not going to last. as you look at the accuweather seven day forecast, a bump up thursday friday, back down for the weekend, near to slightly above average and then temperatures will fluctuate very little. karina and dan going into next week. sandhya. thanks. >> that's nice. all right. sports director larry beil is here. it's really coming down to the last couple of days. hard to believe. >> it's really sad. i've not heard from john fisher after my rant yesterday. i'm still waiting. i'm still. you might. right? yeah anyway, we're coming down to the inevitable last few days of the a's in oakland. we'll hear from the managers tonight. mark kotsay and bruce bochy, the former giants skippe

grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.

will play their final three games in oakland starting tonight. it still hits really, really hard. the a's are hosting the texas rangers, which ironically feature a bay area native and marcus simeon who wanted to stay in green and gold and got a lowball offer from the a's, and john fisher has been in oakland since 1968. they won four world series titles featuring some of the greatest players of all time reggie jackson, catfish hunter, rickey henderson, the bash brothers, canseco and mcgwire. the list just goes on and on. so much history that will end on thursday afternoon with the final home game in oakland. owner john fisher wants to move the a's to las vegas with the next stop being sacramento. perhaps for three years in a minor league ballpark. nothing says minor league more than john fisher. abc seven's chris alvarez joining us live from the

coliseum, where it looks pretty cold out there. the die hard fans trying to. they're going to have to bundle up to get every last glimpse of their a's. >> yeah, larry, i see you still a little bit fired up. i actually talked to an usher today and they said, tell larry biel i loved everything he said yesterday. so. so kudos to you, larry. you are well loved here in oakland. it is cold. i talked to an usher as well. they said they're expecting about 28 five tonight. as far as 28,500. i'm not sure they're going to hit that mark quite yet. we do know it is a sellout on thursday for the final home game. but yes, driving up to the ballpark, i took a lot of mental snapshots and i saw some fans about half a mile down. they were walking to the ballpark, the parking lot was a little busier earlier than normal, but yes, we talked to both managers, bruce bochy, mark kotsay, and i asked bruce bochy what was the loudest you've ever heard here, because obviously he was with the giants and had a lot of bay bridge series games under his belt. here's what bruce had to say when i asked him that question.

>> oh, man, i've had headaches leaving this place. i've had drum uh- man. i'm wanting to go up there and take care of business myself sometimes, but especially, you know, when you're losing, but you know what? they're passionate. these fans have always been really passionate about their team. and they've had a lot of success here. >> i'll tell you, the silent. the most silent i've ever heard in this stadium was the reverse boycott in the fifth inning. and it got pretty darn loud when they started their chants in the bottom of the i think it was the bottom of the fifth, or whenever it was, it was top of the fifth, right? but it was so silent. it was scary. and you don't normally see that in a ballpark. so >> and so obviously the stadium has three more games left. and you think about the stadium. it's not the nicest stadium in the world, but it has a lot of history. it's kind of like a home. it's not really or a house not really a home until the people make it a home. and the people that have made the memories here, whether it's working here at the ballpark, being a fan or being a player or a team member, that is what made so many memories here at the

coliseum. not just the a's, but the raiders, the concerts, everything has happened here. it's an historic site and it is going to be very much missed. and we have one more chance to celebrate it on thursday. all right, chris, thank you so much. >> nfl hall of famer brett favre announced he has parkinson's disease. he was on capitol hill today during a hearing investigating the misuse of welfare funds in mississippi. the 54 year old former quarterback played 20 years in the nfl, suffered multiple concussions, which can lead to parkinson's in some cases. let's get to wnba playoffs dream and liberty. if new york wins, they advance to the second round. this game was all about sabrina ionescu with the left. she's from walnut creek. sabrina ties the game at 57. she ends up tying a liberty record with 36 points, and they are on to the semifinals after they beat the dream in two consecutive games, 9182. sports on abc seven. sponsored by smart and final. it still seems surreal that this is what it's going to be after thursday. after. yeah, i mean, they he moved here in 1968. so

it's just sad. it's really sad. yeah, yeah. thanks, larry. all right. >> and that is it for abc seven news. but we want to let you know what you can watch tonight on abc seven at eight. it's dancing with the stars. and then at ten high potential. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. so thanks for watching. i'm karina nova and i'm dan ashley for cindy patel. >> larry beil who has calmed down considerably. >> yes. well come on moment to moment on this. >> yeah. >> we appreciate your time. hope you have a great evening and we'll see you tonight at 11. that was great. >> thank you.
