[joe] that's my commitment. [ambient noise] on a controversial bike lane in the mission district, is being delayed by a week. the sfmta planned to begin moving the center running bike lane to the side of valencia tomorrow, but rainy weather has delayed the start of the work until tuesday, february 18th. that project is expected to cost over $1 million and take 2 to 3 months to complete. all right. sometimes we all need to take a moment. stop and smell the magnolias. magnolias? they are in bloom at the san francisco botanical garden. art enthusiasts gathered at the garden this morning for a drawing class, using fountain pens and watercolors to capture the flowers. artist eileen goldenberg has been leading this class for a few years now. >> you know, i think everybody's brain needs a rest. we are all stressed out, and drawing means
6:18 pm
you can't think about anything else. you can only draw. and you look at a beautiful flower like these and it's just you just relax. and that's the best thing. >> everyone needs to rest their brain, i agree. the magnolias have a long bloom, period. more than 200 trees will be in bloom at the garden now through march. general admission to the garden is required to see those magnolias. >> they're fragrant. >> yes. oh, i know, even though the pollen sometimes gives me some problems. >> same here. but i still enjoy smelling the flowers. totally. yeah. well, we've got more rain coming our way in a few days. but first we have cold, more cold weather. here's a look at the satellite radar composite image. cold air is flowing down into the bay area from the north. it's a little breezy out there right now. not gusty though. the strongest wind speeds are near the coast where we have ten, 11, 13 mile per hour winds. so let's move along and take a look at the 24 hour temperature change, which is not very significant. most locations are 1 or 2 degrees cooler right now than at this time yesterday, and 1 or 2 of them are a degree or so
6:19 pm
warmer. so let's take a look at current temperature readings as we look out over san francisco from sutro towers, 50 degrees right now in oakland and san francisco, low 50s at hayward, san jose, redwood city, and 48 degrees at half moon bay. nice clear view from mount tam looking down onto the bay and parts of san francisco. temperatures have dropped to 46 degrees already in petaluma. 48 at fairfield, livermore 49. and we have low 50s at santa rosa, napa and concord. and this is our view looking across the embarcadero from the rooftop camera. these are the forecast headlines overnight. and tomorrow morning we have frost and freeze alerts in effect again. for the next two days we'll see clouds increasing a bit. just a few clouds tomorrow. more will arrive on tuesday, along with some late day or nighttime rainfall on tuesday. but the bigger rain comes in wednesday through friday, where we'll get heavier downpours and strong, gusty winds. but let's talk about the freeze alerts. the cold air alerts first freeze warning is in this area covered by the darker blue. so from the north bay inland valleys into the east bay valleys and down into the
6:20 pm
eastern santa clara hills, we'll see low temperatures dropping as low as 26 degrees overnight. the area under blue is where we have the frost advisory. that includes everything except san francisco and the coastline. in those areas, lows may drop as low as 32 degrees. both of these alerts, in effect from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. tomorrow. so overnight, look for low temperatures down to about 30 at santa rosa and livermore, 32 and morgan hill right around the bay shoreline mid to upper 30s. so it's going to be cold just about everywhere. and tomorrow, mainly sunny skies with a few clouds developing late in the day. highs in the afternoon will range from 55 to about 58 degrees. for most of the bay area, only a couple of locations like fairfield will hit 59 and san jose will get about 60 as a high tomorrow. now, looking ahead at the approaching rainfall. rain will arrive late tuesday. it will be sort of a moderate to light to moderate rain on wednesday, but a heavier storm comes in on thursday that will bring some heavy downpours, strong gusty winds and it will continue that rainy pattern into the weekend. so here's the
6:21 pm
accuweather seven day forecast. we're talking about a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale on wednesday, level two on thursday, another level one on friday, maybe some lingering clouds on friday and saturday, and possibly another storm on sunday. >> super bowl 59 is going down right now between the chiefs and eagles in new orleans. the eagles are up . nothing late in the third. next year, super bowl 60 will be right here in the bay area at levi's stadium. the niners hope to bounce back from a disappointing season and make the super bowl in their home stadium. but if they get there, it's looking like star wide receiver deebo samuel will not be with them. espn reports that samuel has asked the niners to be traded, and this time the niners are willing to accommodate him. the report is that he can seek out to a new team. deebo had just four touchdowns this season, a career low for when he's been healthy. there are some salary cap issues that need to be worked out in order to make a trade, but it does
6:22 pm
seem like deebo time with the niners is done, and it looks like former cal star aaron rodgers will not return to the jets. espn also reporting it's unlikely the quarterback will be with new york in 2025, with a formal announcement expected soon. rodgers spent two seasons with the jets, but only played one after tearing his achilles in the 2023 season opener. he's also 41 and has been flirting with retirement ovr the past several seasons. well, it's only been one game, but the jimmy butler era with the warriors got off to a great start. butler scored 25 in his debut with golden state, the most for a warrior in his team debut since kevin durant in 2016. last night, the dubs trailed in chicago by as many as 24 and then poured it on to lead by as many as 25. since butler typically plays slow and the warriors like to go fast, there was some question about how he would fit in with steph curry, but curry had 24 points in the third quarter, finished with a game high of 34, while butler got to the free throw line 13 times and made sure the warriors
6:23 pm
didn't blow yet another late lead. everybody was all smiles after this one. >> you know, they say opposites attract and a lot of ways in life, and i don't think i could be a better complement to him and vice versa in the sense that they're not leaving him ever. probably two people would never leave him. so there's so much space for everybody else. and i get the easy job. >> he's like the exact opposite player of me, which is kind of funny. like i'm shooting 16 threes. he shot one. he's dominating the paint. i'm dominating outside the perimeter. it has the potential to be really, really fun. >> they know each other's place right? well, as for the man butler was traded for, andrew wiggins was officially introduced by miami this mornin, along with former warrior kyle anderson and davion mitchell. wiggins looking forward to a fresh start on south beach. >> you know you always you know you see the trade rumors and stuff like that. but it's the nba. you know you don't really think it's going to happen until it happens. you know you know
6:24 pm
once i got the news you know it was just it's time for a new chapter. you know it's hard you know. but that's that's the nba. >> to the ice. the san jose sharks and the entire nhl are on a two week break for a special new four nations tournament. and the sharks they needed. they scored two goals in the first three minutes last night against dallas, and then gave up seven straight goals. they lost 8 to 3 and have now dropped ten of their last 11. and first year head coach ryan warsofsky will probably not be happy with the effort for the entire two week break. >> we gave up eight goals and you're going to be frustrated. it's a national hockey league, so we should all be frustrated. we should all be ticked off and embarrassed because this is our life. this is what we do and you give up eight goals. it doesn't matter what team is over there. it's not not not good enough. >> yeah. coach does not seem very happy. as you can imagine,
6:25 pm
6:28 pm
san francisco pride organizers are debating major security changes as new policies fuel safety questions. plus, a first in the state plan to tackle homelessness is up for a vote, as advocates raise concerns that it could hurt the helpers. that's all coming up tonight on abc seven news at 11. well, finally, we leave you tonight with a tailgate party for young football fans in san carlos. take a look. the hiller aviation museum combined football and aviation with a flying football fun fest. you can see kids operated drones through football uprights and learned about aerodynamics with paper footballs. they also chased after those foam footballs dropped from a helicopter. oh, that looks like a lot of fun. >> and there was alliteration. flying. football fun fest. >> i don't know that. >> that was tough. i don't know
6:30 pm
