in an area that are already overburdened by pollution. >> doctor paul english is a scientist who is part of the stop okay expansion coalition, which filed a lawsuit against the port of oakland. the port owns and operates the oakland airport. the main claim that the airport's final environmental impact report, or eir, does not meet the standards of the california environmental quality act, also known as sequa. one issue that the port conducted a health risk assessment as part of the eir. the coalition wants a health impact assessment. the argument is that the health impact assessment focuses on inequities in ways the other data doesn't. of the predominantly low income neighborhoods that the lawsuit claims, which already suffer health effects from the current airport operations. >> when you look at the data, answer these east oakland zip codes. they have rates of emergency visits for asthma that are three times the state average, copd rates that are twice the state average, and heart attacks, which are 45%

higher than the state average. >> the expansion project includes constructing new terminal facilities that meet new environmental standards, and to meet the increase in passenger and cargo demand projected over the next two decades. the port's final eir was certified in november. the port of oakland declined an interview request, but in a statement to abc seven news, it counters by saying, quote. the eir is a product of years of careful study, community outreach, and careful deliberation. >> ceqa exists precisely for situations like this, which is to prevent the government and developers from trading community health without disclosing those impacts for the sake of profit. >> sarah chen is an attorney with communities for a better environment, which filed a separate second lawsuit on thursday. one of the claims that the expansion project is not fully defined. another violation of ceqa, for example. they claim there is almost no analysis of what could be a doubling of fossil fuel storage and distribution at the airport.

>> and this instead is, you know, providing a potentially changeable uh- plan, saying up to 16 gates, up to this many gates, decommissioning very vague definitions of things, which leaves the door open for, you know, the port to make decisions in the dark anser hasc seven news. >> all right, francis, joining us once again talking about our wet weather pattern. we have a little bit of a you could call it a christmas gift. >> yes we will. that's our mainly dry day for the next seven days. here's a look at live doppler seven. still some light rain and some drizzle around the bay area. we're going to continue to get some showers and light rain overnight. also, we're seeing quite a bit of fog out there that has reduced visibility to one mile in san francisco, and only a one and one fourth mile in novato, less than three miles in concord and also in santa rosa. temperatures right now, generally in the 50s. san rafael cooler at 50. san francisco 54, but really mild. still in san jose at 58 degrees. and

here's a live shot, as you can see, of sfo and what you can expect. so we're going to see early showers continue tomorrow. and then we get a break. and then some rain in the afternoon and evening. tuesday is when a stronger system arrives bringing us some gusty rain even with a chance of thunderstorms and christmas. that is the present that diane was talking about. it's actually going to be dry, but it will be cloudy and cool. we might even get some partly sunny conditions on wednesday. so here's a forecast animation notice by 6:00 tomorrow morning it's going to be cloudy, but that system has moved through dry for most of the day. and then 6:00 in the evening the rain arrives. more moderate rainfall, mainly in the north bay, so still dry south of the golden gate bridge for the most part until 6:00. and then as the system slides southeast, it kind of peters out. and so we have very little rainfall

south of the golden gate bridge, less than a quarter of an inch in some places, not even a 10th of an inch. but north of the golden gate bridge, we could see anywhere from a quarter of an inch all the way up to an inch in some of the higher elevations for some of the north bay mountains. overnight lows will be in the 50s for the most part. then tomorrow temperatures will be a little bit warmer, some upper 60s even expected in san jose. right around the bay. we'll see low to mid 60s. cooler in the north bay, santa rosa and napa only at 60 degrees. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we have a level one system tomorrow and monday, but then that gustier system with the chance of thunderstorms, christmas eve looking dry for christmas and the start of hanukkah before more wet weather. right now, a level one thursday, friday and saturday. >> look, we don't see any threes, fours, fives. yes, t will be just fine. >> yeah, we can handle it. yeah. >> all right. francis. thanks. well, still ahead tonight on abc seven news at 11, an event that

public appearance came in the a's final game ever. he appeared in a split jersey of the a's and mariners and threw out the first pitch. it's a very sad coincidence with the season that saw the end of the oakland a's, there is now no more rickey henderson. gone too soon. less than a week before his 66th birthday. >> the city of oakland will soon have 24 new police officers. they join a force struggling with staffing and a city struggling to pay millions in police overtime. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has the latest. who are we? >> what are 4-1-1 is this? >> it was a proud moment for these new police academy graduates, and an important moment for the city of oakland as it gets 24 new police officers, you will learn to use discretion, and not everyone needs to or has to go to jail or receive a ticket. >> in many situations, discretion is the better part of valor. >> this is the first academy to

spending by $25 million. for the past few weeks, the mayor has been meeting weekly with the police chief to monitor spending. >> i'll be joining the meeting on monday, and i want oaklanders to know that there's going to be a focus on ensuring officers are out on patrol, and they're also out on investigations, and so that means we are making sure our resources are going into responding and solving crimes. >> anser hassan abc7 news a police standoff with a burglary suspect ended peacefully in san francisco's mission district this morning. >> officers responded to a report of a burglary on harrison street near 20th at nine this morning. there they encountered the suspect, who appeared to be suffering from a mental health emergency. hostage negotiators were called to help bring the situation to a peaceful end. the suspect was taken into custody a few hours later. a possible government shutdown has been avoided after the senate approved the deal just after the midnight deadline. president

the golden gate bridge and in the east bay. looking pretty good. and then rainfall amounts will generally be only a 10th of an inch or a quarter of an inch south of the golden gate bridge, but then could be more in the north bay. lows tonight will be in the 50s. 53 in san francisco. oakland, 56, in san jose. highs tomorrow it's going to be a little bit milder. we could see some breaks in some of the cloud cover at times. so in san francisco and oakland 63 once again san jose 68. but in the north bay, santa rosa, napa only 60. so it will be milder but still on the cool side. so the futurecast shows even on monday, we'll see some spotty showers throughout the day. and then this system, our next one comes late monday night, so most of monday also fairly dry. but this is the stronger system. tuesday christmas eve we will wake up to gusty conditions, winds up to 45mph. there is also a slight chance of thunderstorms, but then by tuesday afternoon looks like we will be drying out into christmas day. and here's

christmas day. we will see some more showers though. continue on thursday, friday and saturday. so the accuweather seven day forecast shows a level storm, one for monday, even tomorrow. but then that gusty system arrives late monday night and continues through tuesday morning and afternoon before we get a nice dry break on wednesday. >> finally drying out. and then here we go again. >> yes, to have the rain boots and the umbrella handy. >> all of it. all right, francis, thanks. let's get back to sarah now with a preview of sports. thanks, diane. the sports world is mourning the loss of a's legend rickey henderson. >> the oakland native's legacy resonates not just here in the bay, but around the country. we're going

it's a sad day in the bay. baseball hall of famer outfielder and oakland a's legend rickey henderson died at the age of 65 friday night. henderson is major league baseball's greatest leadoff man and base stealer in history. the oakland native shattered the stolen base record with 1406 swipes. he's the only player to steal 130 bases in a single season. he redefined baseball's leadoff position, becoming the all time leader in leadoff home runs with 81. henderson won the american league stolen base title every year of the 1980s except 1987, when he had a down year, and seattle's harold reynolds. he led the league with 60 a few years ago on the dan patrick show, reynolds told a great rickey story of the call he got after the season was over. >> so i win the stolen base title, and rickey got hurt that year. he had like 30. it's the only time in the 80s you can google it. all right. i get home, season ends, phone rings.

henderson here. he always talks in the third person. oh, yeah. so i said, what's up rick? he goes, man, you ought to be ashamed. i go, what are you talking about? he said, 60 stolen bases. you ought to be ashamed. rickey has 60 at the break. click. hung up. >> that's amazing. all right. college football playoff. tennessee at ohio state. what an atmosphere. temps around 25 at kickoff in columbus. ohio state starting hot. first drive of the game. will howard finds freshman jeremiah smith fore 37 yard score. buckeyes up seven. nothing. tennessee punted. buckeyes go down the field again. howard 40 yards and a great catch by emeka egbuka. a short touchdown run makes it 14 nothing. and after a tennessee turnover, tavion henderson 29 yards to the endzone. it's 21. nothing after one quarter. tennessee fans thinking what do we make this trip for? vols try to make it a game. the freshman smith was having none of it. his second td catch of the day in the third quarter essentially

seals the deal. ohio state wins 4217 and will play top ranked oregon in the rose bowl quarterfinal on new year's day. remember, oregon won the first meeting earlier this season. more playoff action. texas hosting clemson tigers head coach dabo swinney says, look, i want to meet matthew mcconaughey. he got his wish. clemson scored first, but then texas went on a 28 to 3 run before halftime. gunnar helm catches the touchdown to make it 2810 horns at the half. mcconaughey approves. tigers still hanging around in the fourth quarter. on fourth down, cade klubnik finds t.j. moore, who makes it a seven point game, but the horns ice it two plays later when jaydon blue makes clemson fans, blue says, get off me! 77 yards to the house mcconaughey. of course he's hyped. you're going to see it. texas wins 3824 and will take on arizona state in the peach bowl quarterfinal on new year's day. all right, macklin celebrini and the sharks taking on connor mcdavid and the oilers in edmonton. first period. tied at

one yan ruda loses the puck but gets it back and scores the first of the year to put the sharks up two one. sharks still up in the third with less than 20s left, but the oilers mattias ekholm ties it at two. into overtime we go. less than 20s in connor mcdavid to leon draisaitl. that's game. sharks lose three two in overtime. and because the sharks were out of town, sap center hosting a college basketball doubleheader. first up old pac 12 matchup stanford and number ten oregon. stanford's maxime reno led the cardinal with 20 points and 13 boards, including the early dunk, but oregon took control with a 16 three run and won here by supreme cook. yes, that's his real name. oregon by 17 at the break. and with that name like supreme coach, you got to have to be able to dunk like this, right? oregon rolls 7661, ending stanford's three game win streak. the nightcap at sap, cal and number 23 san diego

state. bears head coach mark mad dog madsen living up to his name hot after an early no foul. he got teed up and he had a reason to be mad. awful first half for his bears. they missed 16 straight field goal attemptt one point. yikes. san diego state's nick boyd he warmed up in the second half five threes and scored all of his game high 17. after the break, cal loses 7150. this abc seven sports report is sponsored by river rock casino. dion. sarah, thanks. and that's all the time we have for this edition of abc seven news at 11. >> i'm dion limb. news continues tomorrow morning at 5:00 for sarah and francis and all of us here. thanks so much for joining us. we leave you now with a live look outside at san francisco international airport, where, yes, it is looking foggy and wet.
