basketball in this area, and this is pretty cool to have too. >> it's amazing man. like even me spending time here, you know, in college and just seeing his influence and how it's grown. he's a bay, a bay area icon, a bay area legend, and it was just fitting for him to win as a the game is here in the bay. >> you're getting old. and they start to flip it on. i remember watching you when you were doing such and such, and i was in middle school, and i love hearing those type of stories. >> and, you know, you can see it's obvious all the pls respect steph curry. big conversation after the game was whether this new format actually worked. i had one veteran nba writer tell me he thought it was precisely 7% better than last year. so there's room for growth. there's room for upside here. >> yeah, mixed reviews for sure, because some players said it was too quick. some players just had no opinion like nikola jokic i don't know. but steph curry said afterwards he had fun. his team had fun. and it's hard to not have fun when you're the mvp. steph a perfect weekend for him. >> all right let's go back to

dion. >> all right thanks guys. taking a live look now at a mild night in san francisco from the abc seven roof cam. we are starting the week out dry for once. abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian joins us now with a 24 hour accuweather forecast. and yeah, for the most part, things are just improving. >> you're right about that. we have several dry days coming our way this week and one of them is tomorrow. so we'll start the day with partly cloudy skies, 7:00 in the morning, just a few minutes after sunrise, 44 degrees inland, 48 around the bay, 49 on the coast. then by noon, we'll see sunnier skies, 58 inland and around the bay, 55 on the coast. 4:00 pm bright sunny skies, 60 inland and around the bay. 55 at the coast and 7:00 as we well after sunset. we'll be approaching the evening and nighttime hours. it will be partly to mostly clear 52 degrees inland, 53 around the bay, 51 at the coast. i'll have a look at what's coming our way next week. a little rain and lots of sun. a little bit later on. >> all right. looking forward to it, spencer.

thank you. new at 11. now, the busy weekend in the bay area didn't stop the sideshows. there overnight in richmond, oakland and daly city drawing large crowds. there was also one on the bay bridge at about 230 in the morning, causing a massive traffic backup. it's not clear if police made any arrests. police have been trying to crack down on sideshows, including installing new cameras and license plate readers to catch participants after they leave. new details tonight about a deadly stabbing in san jose. police now say the victim was a 15 year old boy. that stabbing happened friday night at about 7:00 on santana road near stevens creek. a fight had just been reported before. police say all suspects ran before they got to the scene. they have not shared the names of the victim or the suspects. they are investigating what led up to that stabbing. first responders are calling off the search for a

man believed to have fallen into the water off the embarcadero in san francisco. he fell in just after ten last night, along with a woman. crews rescued her near pier 32 using thermal imaging cameras, drones, powerful floodlights and even boats for the search. firefighters say they looked for the man once again this morning, but called off the search when they couldn't find any signs of him. well, you may have noticed the sniffles, the sneezing and a lot of people calling out sick. health leaders in the bay area are raising the alarm about the flu. cases are soaring, hospitals are getting busy, and flu season is far from over. abc seven news reporter tara campbell looks at why this year is becoming so bad. >> as the u.s. stares down the worst flu season in a decade and a half, cases are expected to continue soaring in the coming weeks. >> specifically in the bay area and in california. because we are later than the rest of the country, we're still on the way up. so, you know, i'm worried

that it will get a little bit worse before it starts to get better. >> cases, hospitalizations and deaths are all trending up, according to the cdc. at ucsf, infectious disease expert doctor peter chin hong says the hospital is being pushed to capacity. >> we've been full for more than a week. kind of on the edge with a lot of people in the emergency department not having beds in the hospital. >> fong chao and his family weren't sick enough for the hospital, but still had a rough week. >> we just recovered, so we're feeling good. that's why we're going out. but it took us out for about a week. >> there are two flus going around right now. it's three, and each one, each three is just notorious for causing more serious symptoms. and people feel really bad. >> the latest cdc data shows around 13,000 deaths related to the virus, including 57 children. 11 of them here in california.

>> the last time we had so many kids dying was in 2009 with swine flu, h1n1. so i'm worried because the season hasn't peaked yet. >> pointing to a low vaccination rate, particularly among children. >> kid vaccinations dropped in california from about 58% last year to the mid 40s this year. >> did you have the flu shot? >> we did not this year. we were going to, but then we kept putting it off and now i'm regretting it. >> but the good news, says doctor chin hong, it's not too late. anyone six months and up should have the shot. >> don't forget that childhood immunizations have really saved all kids for the last few decades. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> we are heading into a critical week with a budget crisis on both sides of the bay. this week, leaders in oakland and san francisco will discuss solutions to dire financial situations. on tuesday, the sfmta's board of directors is

set to talk about short term options to tackle the transit agency's $50 million deficit. they have a plan for most of it but still have to figure out $15 million in cuts. the sfmta says it has ruled out charging for metered parking later at night and on sundays, but several options are still on the table, including reducing muni service, cutting the school crossing guard program and some maintenance or eating up reserve funds. and in the east bay, the oakland unified school board is set to vote on thursday on how to slash nearly $100 million from its budget. we previously reported that the district could run out of money in less than a year without some major changes. some of the options include closing and consolidating schools and even more staffing cuts. well, mother nature made a mess, and now california is cleaning up from mudslides to one shocking near miss as a fallen tree slices an rv in half. plus, dozens of people

displaced with nowhere to go. and one little scooter is to blame. plus, a food fight between two bay area based delivery titans. the claims that have uber serving doordash and a bay area community college student wins big. and we mean really big. the shout out with an nba star that ended with this kid in a big with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah.

i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe.

homes and a dam overflowed, which is something the community says they haven't seen happen before. cleanup could take days to even weeks, all depending on the damage. now check this out. an rv was cut in half when a large tree fell on it. this was in nevada county. last week, a woman and her two dogs were even trapped inside. firefighters say it took them 20 minutes to get them all out safely. no one was hurt. boy, talk about a miracle. firefighters on the peninsula say the lithium ion battery of an electric scooter exploded this morning, sending one person to the hospital. this all happened in a residential motel in south san francisco used for transitional housing. that scooter was charging in one of the rooms when the battery exploded, starting a fire that set off the sprinkler system. the water damage displaced 38 people who are now in need of housing. people across the bay area held a day of remembrance today, marking 83 years since the executive order that led to

the incarceration of japanese americans. a ceremony today at the kabuki theater in japantown commemorated the order that led to the detention and imprisonment of 120,000 japanese americans during world war two. men, women and children were forced onto trains and sent to concentration camps without due process. organizers say the event should serve as a cautionary tale. >> here we're having a situation once again where the government is talking about imprisoning people based on their race because without due process. so i think our lesson, the object lesson here, is that we don't want history to repeat itself. and that's why it's very important to have this kind of observance. >> survivors of the camps and their descendents led a candle lighting ceremony. well, uber is suing one of its competitors over its food delivery practices. according to the wall street journal, uber is accusing doordash of coercing restaurants

to exclusively work with doordash. the company filed a suit friday in california. uber claims doordash threatened higher commission rates for restaurants that also use uber eats. doordash says uber's case has no merit. all right, certainly lots of people doing food delivery when it's rainy out there, but i mean, now it's going to be pretty good if you want to go outside and do anything. >> we might get a little spritz or sprinkle around midweek, but that's it. dry days ahead. we like that. a look at what's bringing us this dry weather and the spritz. or sprinkle. the satellite radar image shows mainly dry conditions, a few clouds streaming into the bay area, but not clouds that will be rain producing until midweek when a more organized system, but still a weak one moves through. it may bring us some very light rain midweek, primarily in the north bay. right now we're looking at calm conditions, a light breeze out there ten, 15, 16mph in some spots near the coast, and it's milder than at this time last night by two degrees to about five degrees. so the chill has gone for a while 50 degrees

right now in san francisco, low to mid 50s at oakland, hayward, san jose 48 and redwood city 52 at half moon bay. nice view of calm conditions looking down onto the bay from mount tam. 48 degrees up north right now at santa rosa and petaluma. 50 at napa. fairfield in livermore. concord stands at 52 degrees and calm conditions in and not delivr more in emeryville right now. and these are our forecast headlines next two days partly cloudy but dry. wednesday is the day we expect some light rain. and once again, this is mainly a north bay event will not be a very impactful storm system. and then thursday through sunday, sunny skies and a spring-like warm up will be with us. so overnight this is the forecast animation showing mostly clear skies for a while. then a few clouds will stream in just before the morning commute begins, so we'll call it partly cloudy at the start of the day, but later in the day the clouds will thin out and we'll have mainly sunny skies by afternoon. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid 40s right around the bay shoreline. 46 at oakland and san mateo, 47 here in san

francisco, up in the north bay, a little bit chillier in some spots. we expect a low of 38 at santa rosa, 36 at lakeport and over at fairfield, 39 other inland east bay and south bay locations will have lows in the 40s, then highs tomorrow afternoon. 56 half moon bay 58, san francisco mainly upper 50s to about 60 right around the bay shoreline. it won't get much warmer than that, except maybe about 62 degrees down in san jose. so tomorrow will not be a very mild day, but not a cold one either. here's the futurecast starting 11:00 tuesday night. notice that rain is getting closer again. light rain pushing into the north bay mainly early wednesday morning during the morning commute. it's expected not to be a storm of any significant impact, but some of the showers may reach farther south and hit other parts of the bay area before the whole system dissipates and then moves out of here, giving us clearing by wednesday night going into thursday. of course, it's going to be nice and sunny, so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. president's day tomorrow a calm day up to maybe 60 degrees around the bay and

inland. then it starts to get milder on tuesday. but wednesday we get that little bout of showers up in the north bay, then thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. look at the warm up next weekend. high temperatures at or above 70 degrees inland and around the bay shoreline. mid 60s on the coast. we rarely see that in february, but we will next weekend. >> oh my gosh, we're on the fast track to spring already! >> i hope so. >> spencer, >> thanks. wayward cubs surprises drivers and first responders. how cute. how they got this little imagine never paying for groceries again. well, what if i can't decide? avocados or tomatoes? why choose? at grocery outlet, you can afford both. and not just the basics. with grocery outlet,

musk's work in the trump administration is bad for democracy. his role heading the department known as doge, has drawn a lot of controversy in recent weeks, largely because of his access and decisions as a non-elected official. time now for our abc seven news at 11. looking ahead to the headlines of the week, luigi mangione is due back in court on friday. mangione is accused of killing united health care ceo brian thompson. he's facing first degree murder and terrorism charges. last friday, his lawyers launched a website about his case. their. mangione made his first public statement in weeks, thanking people for their letters of support and the $300,000 raised for his defense. our other advancer. a new plan to combat the avian flu. secretary of agriculture brooke rollins and the director of the national economic council, kevin hassett, are expected to present new strategies to president trump this week. now, avian flu

has devastated the chicken population, and egg production in the u.s. is current. approach to bird flu has been eradication, killing chickens by the millions to try to stop the spread. that strategy seems to be changing as the virus spreads to other types of animals. now, meanwhile, one company says it's working to inoculate poultry from the avian flu. animal health company zoetis says the department of agriculture issued them a conditional license for a vaccine for chickens. conditional licenses are generally used in emergency situations and for limited periods of time. the company previously developed an avian flu vaccine to protect california condors back in 2023. artificial intelligence and drones teaching us more about sharks. the bay area born experiment giving us fresh perspective under the sea. >> i'm spencer christian, looking at the week ahead with just a little bit of rain, but lots of sun

area in costa rica, to study and tag endangered pacific sharks. >> the team tracked their fieldwork during an expedition and assembled it into a video. they're hoping to document the power of drone photography, coupled with artificial intelligence. we assembled the shark chasers back at stanford to take us behind the scenes. field team member dakota reemtsma says the computer science is as important as the drone hardware. >> one of the strengths of the model and incorporating machine learning and ai is that it is generalizable, and that it's also kind of infinitely specialized. >> all the targets varied, from the habitats around santa elena bay to the marine life like sharks that inhabit it. to test their drone powered platform, the team first hit the water to survey the area up close. then they compared that data to images they collected with the drone footage and a sort of 3d viewing model. mark leone says

they're advancing recognition. technology could give the aerial technique even more capabilities. >> to actually automatically detect and track the sharks in the imagery. >> a sort of facial to fin recognition, including size, motion and potential behavior. chinmay lalgudi says the platform could work with multiple drone models or other types of photo survey technologies, with the potential to fast track field research and make it easier to work in remote areas. >> where now you don't need all this human expertise and effort and time it takes to annotate this data. instead, you could directly apply our pipeline and a future version of our pipeline to then automatically detect marine organisms, from sharks to whales to etc. >> the team believes it all holds the promise of unlocking secrets by being in the right place at the right time, with airborne algorithms that can recognize what they're seeing. team member jaden clark. >> and then it goes out, finds a

very rare animal, kind of observes this behavior, and then goes back and makes itself and then continues the survey later. i think that's really a pie in the sky idea that a lot of ecologists have that are using drones. but i think we're on the way to getting there. >> dreaming big with a project that could someday help accelerate our understanding of the marine environment around us. at stanford. drew tuma. abc seven news. >> the expedition itself was funded by a grant from the stanford woods institute for the environment. now, speaking of sea life, a seal pup is probably grounded after running away from home last week. a driver spotted this little guy just wandering on the off ramp of 101 north. it all happened wednesday night. the driver called chp and together they helped the seal get back home into the san francisco bay safely. yeah, we like to see stories like that. >> we really do. >> hey, the weather for the coming week, that has a happy ending. >> it does. and it may get your

seal of approval. here's a look at what's coming our way. we'll start with overnight conditions. partly cloudy skies will be periods of clear skies, but clouds will be moving through from time to time. overnight lows will be mainly in the low to mid 40s, but a few locations up north like lakeport, santa rosa, over eastward just a bit to uh. fairfield will have lows down into the 30s. so a little chilly in a few north bay spots. then highs tomorrow under mostly sunny skies in the afternoon, 56 at half moon bay and at other coastal locations. up to about 60 around the bay shoreline and up to about 60 only in our inland areas as well, except san jose, which will get up to about 6263 degrees. now let's talk about the midweek rain. there's a system coming our way that will produce some light rainfall on wednesday, mainly in the north bay. it's going to move through very quickly and have very little impact, although it could produce a few wet spots on the roadways. so just bear that in mind. but after that, clear skies for the entire week ahead. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. it starts to get a little bit milder on tuesday, even through wednesday's light rainfall,

but the really mild weather comes at the end of the week. friday high temperatures inland and around the bay shoreline around 68 degrees, up to about 70 on saturday and 72 on sunday. so this is going to be an early preview of spring. it's going to be just a beautiful end of the week and weekend next week. >> that forecast was signed, sealed and delivered. >> thank you so much. >> it took me that whole forecast to come up with it. >> but you did. >> i'm trying. all right, let's get to larry and chris at thrive city with a preview of sports. >> there were some highlight reel moments during all star weekend. i've got a couple of favorites. i'm going to share some. >> from the game, and also some from the entire weekend. san francisco to oakland. the bay area showed up for all star weekend. we have it all coming up

a bar and restaurant here at thrive city. a lot of splashes

in this all star game, but the weekend has come to a close. a few things to point out. really important. the city of san francisco and oakland. this was a banner weekend on both sides of the bay. look, even charles barkley now says he likes the bay area. what he didn't like was the new all star game format, where you have four teams. some guys want east versus west. some guys want team usa against the world. the nba will tweak it. we'll see what they do. but mixed opinions for sure. >> absolutely. but i think for the young guys, a guy like trace jackson davis a chance to shine on a bright stage. he was excited to be out there. and he joked during the game that there was no way the ogs weren't going to lose. they they challenged him there for a while. larry. he kind of joked that the script was leaked, that they at least had to advance. and obviously steph did his thing, but draymond green didn't like it at all. he was very verbal on tnt, but let's hear from the guys who actually did play in tonight's game. >> i did have some input and a lot of conversations with with adam and the rest of the

leadership on where we were last year. we needed a change, needed some, some some new life, new juice in the game, something kind of unexpected. what that answer was is collaborative effort to, i think, one, condense the amount of time you're actually playing so that it gives us more clarity on like, all right, if we so we can raise our level of competition and, and keep it fun for everybody. i think that was a big part of it. obviously, a lot of conversation around the fourth team and the rising stars and the all star experience on sunday is very sacred, and you have to work your way into that. but i think it was a good step in the right direction. >> if anything, i think it picked up the urgency. you know, it was like you can't just be giving away layups. you know, i think over the last couple of years you see guys just walking in, laying the ball up, just kind of free for all. and our number one message was like, they got to make shots. like we're

not letting dudes just walk in here and lay the ball up. and i think naturally that made you have to just put a little bit more into the game. >> trying something different to see what kind of works and sticks. so i guess they'll look at it and kind of see compare it to what it was before. i guess we'll see what we do for next for next year. i guess format was cool. i think the toughest part was like they stopped the game to do the presentation while we was kind of like halfway through it. i would rather play without breaks. >> but i had fun nonetheless. i feel like it was a little bit more towards the competitive side tonight, which is a good feeling. step in the right direction. i guess it's up to the guys that handle all that stuff to figure out what's next, and how to keep making it more and more interesting, and hopefully we get there one day. >> you know, you could see both sides of the argument. some players like the old wy east, west, some want, you know, team usa against the world. but give me your favorite parts of this all-star weekend. >> there were so many, but i think saturday at oracle arena was what it was for me. you saw the practice session. i actually

wish i was there. i was here saturday night and i absolutely had a lot of fun. but to see steph back in the building, all the nostalgia. dame lillard, an oakland kid, you felt the vibe through the tv, through social media, 47 seasons of history and for the nba to not only incorporate san francisco, but oakland, i thought was a major success and a win for this whole weekend. >> absolutely. i've got two favorites i couldn't decide. the first one, mac mcclung, the savior of all star saturday. he was dunking. i mean, over a kia with a guy coming out of a sunroof. i mean, it's just the most ridiculous thing ever tied with a young man we saw tonight. jaren barajas won $100,000, hitting a deep three in a contest with dame lillard, who might have been slow playing things just a little bit in terms of how he was shooting. i want to wrap up the weekend. >> yeah, i thought it was a win for the nba. i thought it was a win for the bay area, not only on the court. obviously steph was the ambassador, the ambassador for the bay. he wins

the mvp. but all the off court activations, the legends that came to town, just a huge win economically as well for san francisco. >> absolutely. it's going to be a huge win for us because there's pizza, there's burgers. >> tacos. >> brownie, uh- that we're going to have to do a tug of war over. that's what we're going to be doing next. for now, for chris alvarez, larry biel abc seven sports, sponsored by river rock casino. >> all right. thanks, guys. and reminder that you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it is available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. just download the app now and start streaming for free. well, that's it for tonight everybody. i'm dion lim. the news continues tomorrow morning at 5:00 for spencer and chris and larry and all of us here. thanks so much for joining us. have a wonderful

with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire.

okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe.
