live at the sheriff's office this morning. selena. it looks like the next step could involve putting this to voters. >> reggie aqui. that's right. today, the board of supervisors want voters to give them the power to fire sheriff corpus after a searing audit of her leadership. they will also discuss possible plans for a special election for next year. the scathing 400 page auditear. contends that sheriff corpus is having an intimate, personal affair with her civilian chief of staff, victor ainge, and that she gave control of the sheriff's department to him. the audit cited phone call, interviews with 40 current and past sworn and civilian employees, but they were all granted anonymity. they did not testify under oath, and their interviews were not recorded. abc seven news i-team reporter dan noyes spoke with the sheriff in an exclusive interview. she says she has no plans to resign and denies all allegations. >> garbage. i say it's false. i am not having an affair with

him. i've known victor for 17 years, 17 years and we are colleagues. i consider him a trusted confidant, a friend. is it because i'm a woman and i can't have a man next to me that i trust without having a sexual relationship with him? >> remember, this comes just days after the board of supervisors already unanimously voted, urging the sheriff to resign. last week. if voters decide to take this to the voters, they could see a special election as early as march 4th of next year. today's board of supervisors meeting kicks off at 9:00 this morning live in redwood city. lena howland, abc seven news. all right. >> lena. thank you. developing news in the north bay, where officials are investigating another deadly boating accident in the waters near bodega bay. this time, one person was killed and four others were sent to the hospital. the latest incident was very similar to two other boat accidents. this month. this

group was out crabbing when this their boat capsized just before two yesterday afternoon. millie biller with the inverness yacht club is very familiar with the water conditions where these accidents have happened. >> that is a particularly treacherous and hazardous body of water out there. we just had a full moon and king tides and so the currents are strong and unpredictable in that area. >> experts say the combination of heavy winds and large waves can be dangerous for boats. of course, they recommend checking the current conditions and forecast for the rest of the day before heading out. all of this to avoid dangerous conditions. >> breaking news overnight, a person is in the hospital after being shot by a bart police officer in the union city station parking lot. bart police say the shooting happened just after 930 last night. they haven't released any info about what led up to the shooting, and we don't know the condition of

the person who was shot. bart's office of the independent police auditor was notified about the shooting and is investigating it. in the south bay, a man has died in san jose after a hit and run crash that knocked over a tree in san jose. the victim was found around nine last night at bert avenue and hall avenue with serious injuries. they were taken to the hospital where they died. san jose police have not said if any arrests have been made. >> in the north bay, a postal worker was killed on the job after being hit by a car in santa rosa. police identified the mail carrier as 33 year old irvin hernandez. tributes are pouring in online, calling him an amazing coworker and friend. police say the suv driver was suffering a medical emergency and lost control. hernandez was standing outside of his truck near the intersection of corrigan street and north point parkway. he was sorting mail when he was hit yesterday evening. >> today, president elect trump will be in texas for a space launch. this is going to serve as a test flight to space for

starship, which is a rocketor system being developed to send people and cargo to mars. the company's co-founder, elon musk, has been seen with trump for the past few months. just last week, musk was named to co-lead a new department of government efficiency in the trump administration. yesterday, trump named former congressman and fox business host sean duffy as his pick for transportation secretary. trump's choice for attorney general is coming under fresh scrutiny. former congressman matt gaetz was the subject of a house ethics committee investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving minors. the investigation ended last week when he resigned from congress. now an attorney for two women who testified before that committee has come forward. >> did your client witness. >> she testified in july of 2017 at this house party. she was walking out to the pool area, and she looked to her right, and she saw representative gaetz having sex with her friend, who was 17. >> the house ethics committee meets tomorrow as pressure grows

to release its report on gates. gates has denied any wrongdoing. >> 508 this morning and we're looking at a mostly cloudy day today. it is frigid this morning. we have freeze warnings and frost advisories posted until 8 a.m. later on this afternoon. we'll get temperatures into the mid 50s and low 60s. totally dry today. get those storm preps underway, especially in the north bay where we have the flood risk. but even around the bay, shoreline winds are going to be an issue. so if you have any decor outside, anything that's not strapped down, take it inside or make sure it's secure because the winds are going to be an issue starting late tonight. now we've refined the flood risk here. it still is in the north bay, but now we have an even higher risk for northern portions of sonoma and mendocino counties. so we'll zoom on in and areas shaded in yellow. that would include guerneville, santa rosa, healdsburg, saint helena, middletown, clear lake. you have an increasing risk of flooding on our smaller streams. our creeks and minor flooding on our

roads. it's the area in red now that we've refined even better, this is where the highest risk will lie. that includes sea ranch. cloverdale. ukiah. navarro. this is an area that's going to pick up a lot of rain in a short amount of time over the next 48 hours. right now, it looks like our rivers will be just fine. they can handle the first incoming storm of the season, but it's our smaller streams and creeks and certainly our roadways that are going to have some issues. that is why flood watch has been issued for the north bay starting at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning, lasting until 5 a.m. friday, and it's areas that i would really say santa rosa and let's say yountville points to the north, have the highest risk of seeing flooding, not only flooding. now we have a wind advisory. this includes the bay shoreline in the city and along the coast. we're going to see winds ramping up throughout the day tomorrow, upwards of 45mph. so here's future weather 630 tomorrow morning. we have that rain in the north bay, a little bit of a shift to the south with the track is bringing a

little bit more rain into the city. parts of the east bay throughout the day tomorrow, but it's the north bay that is really dealing with the heavy rain wednesday into early thursday. we'll look at those rainfall totals. reggie coming up in about eight minutes. thanks, drew. >> still ahead, the bay area holiday tradition kicking off a little earlier this y, san francisco's new mayor elect is tapping into silicon valley. >> the leaders daniel lowry has chosen to help him transition into office. >> sports fans here in the bay area are in for a treat over the next few years, and so are local businesses. how cities in the

system after 100 years here in alameda county, placed their trust in me. >> she took the time to reflect on the successes of her time in office and thanked her family, her staff and the many volunteers who try to keep her in office. >> we now know who will help san francisco's mayor elect transition into his new role as the city's leader. daniel luria unveiled his transition team yesterday. the co-chairs include sam altman, the ceo of openai. former san francisco fire chief joanne hayes-white and michael tubbs, the former mayor of stockton. he explained his choices to kristen sze on abc7 news. >> at three entrepreneurs and innovators and creatives are welcome in san francisco again. we're going to do everything in our power to make sure that san francisco is once again considered and is a world class american city. and these are the people that are going to help us get going over the next 50 days until inauguration day. so we have a lot of work ahead of us. every day is busy. i will

say this mayor breed and her team have been incredibly gracious, helping us on the transition. we have a lot of work to do and i appreciate all of their support. >> lori will be sworn into office january eighth. >> san francisco mayor london breed says overdose deaths in the city are on the decline. like never before. the latest numbers from the department of health show 32 people died of an accidental overdose in san francisco in october. that's a 50% drop from october 2023 and an overall drop of 20% this year. breed calls the report remarkable and shows the city's aggressive and dedicated efforts are paying off. >> it is starting to work because the people are out there doing the work and making sure that folks know it's not a one size fits all, but the options in this city exist, and the options in this city. it's saving lives. >> officials credit the decline to access to medical and behavioral health treatment offered by the city.

>> we continue to follow the story of the controversial center bike lane on san francisco's valencia street. this concept has sparked outrage from some shop owners, saying that it's a business killer and some cyclists who call it dangerous. yesterday, sfmta presented the finalized design for a replacement. today, the board of directors will consider approving that. abc seven news reporter luz pena gives us the details of this design. >> reporter san francisco's controversial center bike lane on valencia street is one step closer to being removed. >> it was new and a little bit difficult to navigate, and if anybody parked to run out and get something, all the traffic got stuck behind them and it was challenging. >> after over a year of business owners reporting concerns about the removal of parking spots to create a new bike lane, the city's transportation agency is taking responsibility and presenting their final design to turn the center bike lane into a side running bike lane. >> i hope that the agency has learned a valuable lesson for the future that they should just

install curbside protected bike lanes from the start, rather than proposing kind of these novel or new designs that that don't work. reporter. >> the side running bikeway design is already in place in other parts of the city. we're on 14th and valencia. this is what the new design is going to look like, where cyclists are going to be able to ride next to the sidewalk, and cars are going to serve as a barrier between traffic and the bike lane. a win for cyclists. but this will still impact parking. >> overall, we're going to remove 79 parking and loading spaces with the change to a side running bikeway design. >> the new design is not perfect. luke bornheimer, executive director of the nonprofit streets forward, is concerned about the risks of floating parklets running in between the sidewalk and the parklet. >> so if someone if a server is walking between the parklet and the sidewalk, if a kid or a senior or a person with a disability is walking in between the sidewalk and the and the parklet, they have to cross the bike lane. and so that just creates conflicts and potential safety issues.

>> despite all this, merchants are hopeful the new design will bring business back to valencia. >> it helps us bring in traffic, more foot traffic, more people want to drive on the streets over here. >> they used to be a pretty happening place. we've talked to the, you know, business owners and sfmta and i think overall, everybody agrees the sfmta board is set to vote on this design on tuesday in san francisco. >> luz pena, abc seven news. >> we're going to go all christmas music beginning this friday at noon. >> that is koat person d.j maurice knight telling abc seven news about the bay area holiday tradition that's kicking off a bit earlier this year. the nonstop christmas music season is a 22 year tradition. 96.5 koat kicks off christmas music friday at 12 p.m, and they'll play it until december 26th at 2 a.m. this throws off my entire calendar, because everyone in

the bay area knows that thein christmas music on 96.5 koat typically starts after thanksgiving. >> oh, this is a big deal. okay, it's getting earlier. maybe because thanksgiving is so late this year. maybe they're trying to, like, maximize the jingles. >> i'm still not going to turn it on until after thanksgiving. >> that is the tradition. >> tis the season, though. it's here. >> fa la la fa la la la la. >> we are freezing out there this morning. let's take a look at temperatures, because that's our first issue. we have frost advisories and freeze warnings right now. widespread 30. so you're going to feel that cold air even in the city. we're down to 46. 41 in palo alto. but look at those temperatures in livermore, santa rosa, napa, 33. 34 degrees, respectively. so it is a cold start out there. the day planner will show you it's all about increasing clouds throughout the day. today is dry. get your storm preps underway, especially folks watching in the north bay. we're in store for some heavy rain there. temperatures in the

50s and 60s later on this afternoon. now overnight tonight, the rain will arrive here after midnight in the north bay. that's. wl start to see some heavier showers pick up around 3:04 a.m. outside of the north bay. it's quieter with mostly cloudy skies. not as cold tonight. 40s and 50s on the board on the abc seven storm impact scale. it's level two tomorrow. the north bay has a flood risk around the bay shoreline. we have a wind advisory for gusty winds outside of the north bay. we will see some rain. it'll just be more light to moderate in nature. so let's take a look at the rainfall totals. just got the latest numbers in. and it's still keeping the same trajectory that we had the last 24 hours. we have really high amounts in the north bay. some of these numbers around the bay shoreline have ticked up a bit, but a half of an inch to an inch of rain is something we can accommodate in a 24 hour period for the city. for oakland, a lot lighter as you head towards the south bay, the south bay, we'll just end up with some drizzle, but it's the north bay. as we zoom in a little

bit closer, you see these deep purple's in parts of northern napa, sonoma county, southern lake county. this is on the order of eight inches of rain falling in 24 hours. that is a lot of rain in a short amount of time. and that's why the flood watch is up. so future weather tomorrow morning. here's 630. the heavy rain is in the north bay. later on, closer to lunchtime, we'll see those showers around the bay shoreline with some gusty winds. and throughout the afternoon and evening that heavy rain is just going to stay in the north bay. let's talk about the winds, because they will be felt area wide here starting wednesday morning along the coast 40 45mph. but even around the bay shoreline throughout the day, we'll have winds in excess of 30 to 40mph. so even for folks living outside of the north bay, the wind advisory will be an issue. so make sure anything that could fly away is secure. or take it inside because it's stormy here tomorrow. accuweather seven day forecast shows you it's cold. this morning. cloudy and dry, wet and windy here on wednesday. the end of the week it is another level two with a chance of a thunderstorm and even over the weekend another round of

an option for everyone, says san francisco based k-pop store owner kevin tang. >> because with the k-pop industry, there's always new releases and new comebacks and new musics and a quarterly basis, so we can't really pre-purchase something that hasn't existed yet. >> tang says his store, sirangelo, imports 100% of their products from south korea. he says if the tariffs happen, they'll have to make difficult decisions. >> yes, there definitely will be added cost into our products and unfortunately, you know, in order for us to make up for that cost, it's obviously going to be shouldered by our customers. >> in the worst case scenario, if costs remain elevated for long and business slows down, tang says he might be forced to close his store for good. >> as an entrepreneur, it is important for me to be very adaptive and i think i have the team to help support me with that. and ultimately, you know, we're not giving up without a fight. >> according to some estimates, the proposed tariffs could cost the average american household around $2,600 per year. in san

the coldest air and about six months. so those advisories and warnings will last until 8 a.m. bundle up. up there. i will wear the scarf, the mittens, maybe even the hat, too, because temperatures take their time warming today. later on this afternoon. it's dry, but it's mostly cloudy. daytime highs mainly in the mid 50s to the low 60s. that's about it. now tonight after midnight, that is when the rain begins to arrive in the north bay. temperatures not as cold as they are right now. overnight tonight will mainly be on either side of about 50 degrees. let's talk about the storm. it's going to be a big issue for the north bay tomorrow. it's a level two where the flood risk is highest in the north bay. a wind advisory is in effect for areas around the bay shoreline as well, for some gusty winds throughout the day. areas outside of the north bay it will rain, but it's more light to moderate. we'll show you those rainfall totals in one second. so here's future weather. 630 tomorrow morning. that rain has arrived in the north bay. now the brighter colors, the yellow, the orange indicates the heavier rain. just watch the theme of this thing. it does not really budge from

the north bay. just sits on top of the north bay throughout the day. close to lunchtime. will likely have some scattered showers in the city. the east bay and in the south bay, but throughout the afternoon, i mean the brunt of this system is just lingering and napa, sonoma, marin county, lake county, mendocino county, even at 11:00 pm, we're still tracking that heavy rain. so this is a long duration of rainfall in the north bay. we're talking several inches there for folks in the east bay, the south bay, the peninsula in the city. we're looking at less than an inch of rain in most areas. so we can handle that. but again, there's going to be issues tomorrow on our smaller streams, creeks and roads with this amount of rainfall, winds will be an issue area wide, not just the north bay. so if you have things outside, make sure they are secure because throughout the day, tomorrow will likely see frequent wind gusts close to 45mph. here's the accuweather seven day forecast storm prep today. it's wet and windy. tomorrow. friday, another system will bring a chance of thunderstorms and it stays wet over the weekend.
