forgets to change the clock on the bay bridge? we're checking whether that affected the cost for carpool commuters. >> always live. abc seven news starts right now. >> today, the u.s. supreme court decided to hear a case about whether state and local governments can enforce laws banning conversion therapy for lgbtq plus children. good evening. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. this case is based on a colorado law prohibiting the practice of trying to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling, also known as conversion therapy. >> abc seven news political reporter monica madden is here with a closer look at what this could mean. monica. >> in 2012, before same sex unions were legalized federally, california was the first state to ban conversion therapy. that law did get challenged and was upheld in federal courts. about half of the nation's states do not allow practices that attempt to change a person's sexual

orientation or gender identity through therapy, but advocates fear with the conservative majority on the high court, outcomes could be different. can states ban conversion therapy? it's a question the u.s. supreme court will answer come this fall. what does it tell you that justices want to consider this case? >> well, frankly, it tells me that there's been a shift in the court because the prior occasion on which they were asked to jump in on a case similar to this, they they decided not to. >> the case stems from a complaint against a colorado law. and legal experts say plaintiffs will focus on free speech. >> they will be focusing more on this as a free speech issue for the therapists themselves, that they can't practice therapeutic medicine. they're their profession in the way that they desire to. >> the san francisco based national center for lesbian rights says states have the right to ban conversion therapy. >> states are the primary regulators of health care professionals, and so these laws are right in line with laws that

protect people against all sorts of harmful medical practices, malpractice laws, and so forth. and there's really no reason that the court needs to be stepping in to change anything on that front. >> lgbtq plus advocates and mental health groups say the practice is harmful and ineffective. >> every major mental health professional organization in the country and every major medical organization in the country opposes these practices and recognizes how harmful they are to kids. they lead to a variety of very serious problems that follow the children throughout their lives, including a dramatically increased risk of suicidality from being put through these practices. >> this all comes as president donald trump is taking executive action against transgender people, and has declared male and female to be the only two official genders of the united states. this case will be argued in the court's new term, which begins in october. dan ama. >> okay, monica, thank you very much. >> in sonoma county, two schools

were placed on lockdown, then evacuated after a threat from a parent. >> it happened on the campus of salmon creek school in the community of occidental. abc seven news reporter tim johns explains really scary moments for students. >> dan, a school officials told me they got a call from the sonoma county sheriff's office around 930 this morning saying that they needed to lock down these schools. the sheriff's office saying they got a credible threat from social media, and that immediate action needed to be taken. sky seven video showing the aftermath following the lockdown. students clinging to one another and being loaded onto busses. school officials say by 11:30 a.m, they began evacuating the students from campus and reuniting them with their parents. nearly all of the 220 students who attend the pair of schools were returned to their families by 1 p.m. the sonoma county sheriff's office wouldn't share all the details of the threat at this time, but confirmed it came from the father of a student. >> that he was going to show up after school with the weapon, and to make sure that the sheriff's deputies were there. >> by monday afternoon, the school campus was empty. matthew

morgan, who serves as the principal and superintendent of the harmony union school district, says the morning's event was extremely stressful for staff, students and families. >> this just adds to the level of stress that our families are holding anyway. i think families, there's a lot that's been going on in the world, and i think that families are incredibly stressed and taxed. >> morgan says when students do return to the classroom, there will be extra support staff on hand to help anyone who might need it. >> we spend a lot of our time doing social emotional support for kids mental health supports. we have additional staff that we've had just this year in general. >> no word yet on when students will return to the classroom, but the superintendent tells me he plans on sharing a note with families later today. i'm in sonoma county. tim johns, abc seven news. >> seven student athletes are suing sonoma state university and top college administrators over a plan to end all of the school's sports programs. as we've been reporting, the lawsuit has been filed in sonoma county superior court. cuttg

the sports programs is just oneg part of a proposal to trim $24 million from sonoma state's budget, several academic programs and facility jobs or faculty jobs are on the line as well. the plaintiffs are not seeking damages. they are asking for a judge to stop the school from making these cuts. >> earning pay raises by accomplishing key goals that build a better bay area. that's the mayor's new proposal for top city officials in san jose. but the implementing implementing the idea isn't up to the mayor. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes joins us live to explain. and, zach, ultimately, the decision is going to be up to the voters. >> yeah. that's right. that's what the mayor wants us to be. and this is all part of his march budget message, set to be released in full tomorrow. but this part of it, he says, is about tying the compensation of elected officials and senior administration to the progress being made on key issues impacting the city. >> should our city leadership, from the council to department heads, get automatic raises

without results? or should we tie our pay to progress? >> that's what san jose mayor matt mehan wants voters to decide. he says the initiative isn't about automatic cost of living raises public sector employees get, but the raises they could get. beyond that. >> i want as a standard operating procedure and as part of our culture here for those pay raises to be justified based on measurable, documented performance, actual progress, based on a plan that we laid out at the beginning of the fiscal year. >> mehan says what would be considered progress worthy of those workers getting pay raises centers around four key goals. >> first and foremost, to end unsheltered homelessness, that is our first focus area to improve community safety. that's our second focus area to clean up our neighborhoods. that's our third, and to attract investment in housing and jobs. that's our fourth.

>> mehan says the key goals and performance targets would be tracked by the publicly available dashboards that show the city's progress in each of those areas. neighbors we've spoken with have had mixed reviews on the idea, saying pay raises shouldn't dictate whether or not progress in the four areas identified is made. >> this is our job. i mean, i think when they're appointed, just like any other job, it's like they need to give it 100%, especially if they're working for the community, for the city. you know. >> ultimately, if the city council approves the mayor's initiative, it will be the voters who decide. >> for elected officials, because our pay is determined by a salary setting commission that sits outside of city hall, that which is governed by past ballot measures. we have to go to the ballot in order to direct the salary setting commission to tie our pay raises to performance. >> so again, this is for elected officials, the city manager and the most senior members of the city council. this would not

impact who mehan called frontline city ■workers. so that means unions and bargaining units won't be involved in this. now, if this goes to the ballot, it would be voted on in 2026 and if it passes, it would take6 and effect in 2027. now live in the san jose bureau. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> okay, zach, thanks a lot. >> the exclusive abc seven news storm impact scale will be back in use this week and on repeat. might i add, there's a level two storm in the forecast. >> it's getting a good workout this week. abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian is looking ahead for spencer. >> okay, here's a look at that exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. the approaching storm is a level two, which is a storm of moderate intensity, but it's going to have moments of pretty intense downpours and some gusty wind, rough surf, even some snow in the higher elevations of the bay area because cold air will accompany this storm. start the forecast animation tomorrow night at midnight or 12 a.m. wednesday. notice that storm will begin pushing onshore during the morning commute. it will become even stronger and more intense as the day goes on, and we'll have heavy

downpours again. wind gusts up to 40mph or higher at times. the evening commute is just going to be severely impacted by this storm. before we get a little bit of a break late wednesday night. now, late wednesday night, we expect rainfall totals to range from about a half inch to an inch and a half in the wettest locations, and this storm is also going to be a big storm. a big snow producer r in the sierra, where a winter storm warning will be in effect from tomorrow night through thursday night. we're talking about 12 to 18in of snow at lake level, up to four feet of snow in the highest peaks and up in the ridges. winds gusting up to 70mph. i'll have more details and the complete accuweather seven day forecast a little bit later. dan. >> okay, spencer, thanks a lot. new developments tonight in the menendez brothers case. the los angeles district attorney announced their resentencing hearing will move forward as scheduled. however, the da says he opposes freeing the convicted murderers from prison. abc news reporter melissa adan has the story. >> los angeles district attorney

nathan hochman announcing he does not believe the menendez brothers should be resentenced, but will allow the resentencing hearing to go before a judge later this month. eric and lyle menendez have been behind bars for 35 years, serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for murdering their parents in 1989. at the trial, the brothers claimed self-defense, saying they suffered sexual abuse from their father and believed their parents were going to kill them. >> our position is that they shouldn't get out of jail now. ultimately, that is a position. >> the new da, going into great detail about what he says is the brothers premeditation and lack of credibility and willingness to lie, stating examples from the 90s trial, including self-defense being the brothers reason for murdering their parents. >> but for now, while the menendez brothers persist in telling these lies for the last over 30 years about their self-defense defense and persist in insisting that they did not

suborn perjury or attempt to suborn perjury, then they do not meet the standards for resentencing. >> hochman leaving the door open for him to support a resentencing, but only if he says they take responsibility. >> they have not exhibited the full insights and accepted complete responsibility for their actions, and as a result, they pose an unreasonable risk of danger to the community. and the resentencing should not therefore be granted. >> eric and lyle menendez are pursuing two other paths to freedom one calling for consideration of new evidence. a letter eric wrote to his cousin before the murders, detailing his alleged abuse from his father. they've also asked for clemency from governor gavin newsom, who has ordered a risk assessment investigation before he makes a decision. menendez family members issued a statement today saying the da is, quote, holding eric lyle and our family hostage, adding that the brothers have apologized for their actions and demonstrated

their atonement. melissa dawn, abc news, los angeles. >> and the resentencing hearing for the menendez brothers is currently scheduled for next thursday. >> coming up next. seven on your side investigates a leaked undercover video of a now fired state farm executive. can it affect the proposed rate hike? also ahead. >> they're cheering anyway, but it was a dismal day for the stock market. tonight, a look at

before the world awakes. golden 1 credit union knows how the sacrifices you make here, let you spend time here. this is where your heart is. this is your home. it's what you've always wanted. and now it's yours.

golden 1 home loans and lines of credit help you grow into the life you're creating, so you can spend more time focused on what matters most. golden 1 home loans. life is a journey best grown together. a decision impacting millions of california insurance

policyholders this week whether to grant state farm's request for a massive rate hike. >> it comes amid controversy surrounding a leaked undercover video of a now fired state farm executive. >> seven on your side stephanie sierra joins us with the latest tonight. steph. >> yeah, it's a real mess on both sides. the timing of this could not have been worse for state farm, especially as california's insurance commissioner weighs whether or not to grant the company's request to raise rates as high as 38%. in a leaked, edited undercover video obtained and posted by conservative o'keefe media group, haden kirkpatrick, the now fired vice president of innovation and venture capital at state farm, spoke openly about the victims of the palisades fire and residents of the bay area. >> like in marin county in northern california, or somf the fringe areas like where the palisades are. they can never be houses, but like people want to be built in areas where they're like like natural areas around

them. yeah. for their ego. >> kirkpatrick told the new york times this footage was filmed during a tinder date. the clips are spliced up, potentially leaving out critical context. and we should note the conservative outlet that published it is founded by james o'keefe. he's the former ceo of project veritas, a far right activist group that's reportedly been subject to lawsuits over publishing undercover content criticized as misleading. with that said, the clip is highly controversial given state farm continues dropping policies. the person recording asked this question. related to that. >> it seems like it's all, i don't know, orchestrated. >> i mean, it kind of is, but not in the way that you would think. our people look at this and say, we've got like maybe $5 billion, that we're short if something happened.

>> kirkpatrick also mentioned the recent meeting between the california department of insurance and state farm execs. but the state told seven on your side he was not present at that meeting. >> the department of insurance and say, we're overexposed here. you have to let us catch up our rating and they'll say, hey, it's because the department of insurance and the insurance commissioner is an elected position. i guess he'll say, nah. >> i think it's shocking. i mean, clearly the executive didn't realize he was being taped. >> consumer watchdog sent a letter to the commissioner calling the remarks more evidence as to why policy cancellations are being wielded as a strategic bargaining tool. meanwhile, after firing kirkpatrick, state farm denies all his claims, saying they're inaccurate and in no way represent the views of state farm and do not reflect our position regarding the victims of this tragedy. >> and it's not the nail in the coffin for the rate hike. i think ricardo lara is going to

be looking at a nail in his coffin. >> now, the department of insurance say they want answers from state farm now. and this only raises even more questions. and i should note, in that closed door meeting with state farm insurance commissioner ricardo lara did ask if i approve this rate hike, will you do more business here? and state farm cfo responded, the short term answer to that is no. >> really? >> yeah. >> okay. all right. thank you. stephanie. >> thank you. well, seven on your side investigates. and we have a team of journalists that can assist you. head to abc seven news.com/7 on your side. >> all right, let's switch gears to the weather. enjoy what we have now. >> because it's not going to last. spencer is here with the forecast. >> i'd like to switch gears and shift away from what's coming our way, but we can't avoid it. here comes. here's the satellite radar composite image. you can see that storm off the southern california coast. that is not our storm, but it is kicking some clouds up into the bay area sky. which is why we've had a mix of clouds and sun today. and we'll have that again tomorrow before our storm arrives. it's brewing and intensifying out at sea right now. let's move along.

take a look at current conditions. we've got fairly calm winds, although a bit breezy, closer to the coast and the bay, with wind speeds 12 to 14mph in some spots, and it's milder now than at this time yesterday by three, four, five degrees in many bay area locations. in fact, as we look out over san francisco from sutro tower, we see it's 58 degrees here in the city. we have low to mid 60s at oakland, hayward, san jose, redwood city at 54 degrees at half moon bay, looking back along the bay bridge towards san francisco from emeryville, 68 degrees in santa rosa. at this hour, only 55 at petaluma. and we have mid 50s, mid 60s rather at napa and fairfield and livermore. concord 69 degrees. and we'll now check out our forecast headlines. so tomorrow one more mild dry day is coming our way before the messy midweek weather begins on wednesday with a level two storm. wind, rain, snow and rough surf coming our way. and the extended outlook calls for more rain each day after wednesday going into next weekend. so this on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale is a level two

storm for wednesday. we can expect downpours, gusty winds, rough surf and even some snow over on our higher peaks because cold air will be involved in this storm. here's the forecast animation starting at midnight tomorrow night or 12 a.m. wednesday. notice that first wave of rain arrives in the overnight hours, just as the morning commute is beginning. it's going to expand. the rain will and intensify with heavy downpours by midday and into the afternoon hours and even into the evening. so although the morning commute will be a bit wet, the evening commute will be even wetter and more challenging for sure. late wednesday night, 11:00 rainfall totals will range anywhere from about a half inch to an inch and a half, so it's going to be a very wet storm. and over in the sierra, it's going to be a very snowy storm. we have a winter storm warning that will be in effect from tuesday night through thursday night, above 4000ft in the sierra, we expect 12 to 18in of snow, up to four feet of snow in the highest peaks. ridge wind gusts up to 70mph. so travel will be difficult to impossible. back to the bay area for tonight. a mix of clear sky

and some clouds. overnight lows mainly in the low to mid 40s and then highs tomorrow under a sky much like today's sky, will range from mid 60s around the bay to mid and upper 60s inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so that level two storm on wednesday will be followed by level one storms on thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. now there will be some periods of rain every day, but not steady rain all day, every day. there will be a few breaks here and there, maybe a little sun breaking through from time to time, but the predominant factor will be the rain. it'll be there every day. >> okay, okay, thanks. okay. good to know. >> well, we all spring forward with the time change yesterday. okay. maybe not everybody. someone forgot to change the bay bridge clocko did carpool dri

on sunday morning. wait a minute. not on the bay bridge. apparently, though. take a look. we lined up pictures of the clock with the data from the phone that took the picture. so you can see the difference. when this driver approached the toll plaza at 9:27 a.m. the clock on the bridge read 8:27 a.m. morning carpool hours with half price tolls run 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. now, we checked with the bay area toll authority to see if drivers were charged correctly. the response was that the lane and zone controllers are linked to network time

protocol, which was set to the correct time. the display clock wasn't linked. they say that was fixed by 10 a.m. >> interesting. happening today, a new hov lane along interstate 80 is open. it runs in the westbound direction from interstate 505 in vacaville to air base parkway in fairfield. eventually, this will become an express lane where drivers can pay to enter and avoid traffic. for now, it's an hov lane, which means it's open only to carpools with two or more people during carpool hours, which are 5 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. at no charge. and today marks the start of months of work on the richmond-san rafael bridge bike lane. the lane won't be completely closed while construction is underway. a narrow portion will remain open for bikes and pedestrians. construction is only 5 a.m. until 2 p.m. monday through friday. work is expected to continue until october. >> part of san francisco's great highway is just days away from

recession this year. the dow dropped more than 2%, finishing at its lowest level since november. the nasdaq suffered its largest loss since 2022, dropping 2.7%. it has lost nearly 9% of its value in less than a month, and the president is threatening additional tariffs on major trading partners. >> the back and forth is triggering major economic uncertainty. abc news reporter christiane cordero is in washington with the latest international response. >> president trump has called tariffs one of his favorite words. but today, even the threat of them being imposed is sending uncertainty to the stock market and store checkout lines. trump's hesitant to rule out a recession this year, asking americans to be patient. >> oh, i think the tariffs are going to be the greatest thing we've ever done as a country. it's going to make our country rich again. >> the president imposed, then paused a 25% tariff on goods from canada and mexico last week. he now vows a 25% tariff will kick in on wednesday

against all foreign steel and aluminum. he has also promised reciprocal tariffs on countries who retaliate with tariffs of their own. the european union has been in conversations with the u.s. to try to avert tariffs. it's commissioner claims u.s. officials aren't as interested. >> we jointly identified a few areas that would allow us to move forward by fostering mutual benefits. but in the end, as it said, one hand can't clap. >> and canada, which just elected its new prime minister, has enacted $30 billion of retaliatory tariffs on american imports, including orange juice, peanut butter and appliances. the province of ontario today slapped a 25% price increase on electricity. it exports to 1.5 million americans in new york, michigan and minnesota. that's an extra cost of at least $200,000 a day. >> if the trump administration follows through on any more tariffs, we will not hesitate to shut off their power as well. >> moody's chief economist tells

abc news this year started with a recession risk at around 15%, and is now 35% and rising. christiane cordero, abc news, washington. >> now, here's a look at more of today's top trump administration headlines. sean curran was sworn in as the director of the united states secret service. secretary of homeland security kristi noem says he risked his life to help save president trump's life during the assassination attempt in pennsylvania. vice president jd vance is expected to attend tomorrow's gop meeting as the house readies for a funding vote to avoid a government shutdown. the u.s. department of education's office for civil rights sent warning letters to 60 universities under investigation for anti-semitic discrimination and harassment, including stanford and uc berkeley. and the senate confirmed former oregon representative lori chavez-deremer as labor secretary. >> two ships caught fire today after crashing in the north sea. it happened off the eastern coast of england. a

tanker carrying jet fuel for the u.s. military was anchored when it was hit by a portuguese container ship. the crash caused a number of explosions, and both crews were forced to abandon ship. you can see why britain's coast guard says 36 people were safely brought to shore. one person was taken to the hospital. one person aboard the container ship is believed to still be missing. the cause of this collision is under investigation. >> it will be in due course. there will be an inquest into what's happened, how it's happened, why it's happened. because to be honest, with all the technology that all these vessels have, there's no way it should have happened. >> crews also say it's unclear how much fuel leaked from the ship. >> rail and bus passengers in santa clara county will have to find another way to get around again tomorrow. today, some 1500 valley transportation agency workers went on strike, shutting down service. the workers walked off the job at midnight whenlked their contract expired. the union says vta's offer of a 9% pay raise over three years wasn't good enough. >> it's kind of disappointing

that it's come to this. this, you know, this at this point, you know, we've gone into negotiations a little over six months ago. >> the kind of wage increase that atu is asking for is just not possible. >> the first day of the walkout was not without incident. two strikers suffered injuries when they were hit by a truck. as we just showed you there, which then took off, one striker went to the hospital. san jose police are investigating. >> the social media site. x is having an awfully bad monday. the trouble started around seven this morning, with users in the u.s. and the u.k. unable to access the app or the website. that outage was quickly resolved, but since then, x has gone down three other times. its owner, elon musk, blames the issues on a massive cyberattack. the site does appear to be working normally now. one of the country's largest drugstore chains is looking to grow by getting smaller. cvs says it plans to open a dozen stores this year that only have a

pharmacy, and are about half the size of the normal layout. the chain has struggled in recent years, closing more than a thousand stores and laying off thousands of people. cvs, like other drugstores, is having a hard time keeping up with companies like amazon and target. >> we've been following the story of two mothers with young kids in san francisco who are on the verge of being on the streets as they reach the limit of their shelter stay. just about an hour ago, they found out they were receiving a 30 day extension earlier today. abc seven news reporter luz pena spoke with the mothers, who were joined by community advocates asking the city to intervene. >> vilma arias and maria flores woke up monday morning knowing they would have to break the news to their young kids. they can't stay in the shelter anymore. i don't tell them anything because i don't want to make them feel bad. with tears in her eyes, maria is deciding how to say this to her eight year old son. this is a new trauma for him and i don't know what to say to him.

both of them are migrants. maria fled peru and is seeking asylum in the u.s. vilma fled from honduras. they met at the city's saint joseph's shelter and joined forces to fight back against their evictions. community leaders surrounded them outside their kids school, as many asked for mayor daniel lurie to intervene. they met with the mayor two weeks ago and said he promised them no kids will end up on the streets, yet many more are also set to get evicted next. >> dozens more will face this same fate this month. >> in december of 2024, san francisco's department of homelessness and supportive housing reinstated the shelter state limit to 90 days, something that was on pause during the pandemic. in a statement, the city's homelessness and supportive housing department said in part, we believe that our compassionate 90 day time l, with the possibility of 330 day extensions, enables families to take proactive steps in their housing plan. vilma confirmed

she's had more than three extensions. yet community advocates view the city's approach as wrong. city's >> if they've signed up for housing, they're not supposed to be evicted. if they haven't found housing through no fault of their own. >> to explain the time limit, h.s.h. said, in part, lack of active participation in the shelter program can hinder his ability to assist more families in need and lead to a program exit. >> district wide, there are almost 3000 students that are on house. >> as the eviction loomed. they were considering what else to do. wilma and i are thinking maybe to go to a hospital just so our kids can have a place to go, the hospital so they can sleep inside. >> oh. >> they're going to let us sleep in the hallway. in san francisco. luz pena, abc seven news. >> and their extension is good for 30 days to april 10th. we will keep following this story to see what happens next. >> all right. coming up next. you know, some people can't keep

goldfish alive, but these students are helping save a threatened species. >> and we're putting in a little microchip into their bellies so that we can track where they are moving. so we have little antennas out there in the creeks. >> tonight, we'll take you to their unique state of the art lab on a high school cam

restore a threatened fish species in their local streams, and the science behind their effort is truly remarkable in today's climate ready report, abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma introduces us to the united anglers of casa grande. >> in a quiet stretch of adobe creek. a group of budding biologists are about to take stock of a species they're helping to save. the students from casa grande high school are part of a unique program that could help bolster the population of steelhead trout in the petaluma watershed. hatchery director dan hubacher says the team has two goals. >> one is to give them a chance to hopefully boost some of the survival rate of the fish that are out there, but also being able to collect some of the genetics and having a long term picture as to what how much

genetic diversity is found in this watershed and what long term efforts can be done to recover the species. >> using a recently granted federal permit, students have been rescuing steelhead from surrounding creeks, transporting them to their state of the art fish hatchery located on campus, believed to be the only one of its kind in the country. that's where the steelhead will nurture and grow before they're eventually reintroduced back into the stream. student researchers gently take tiny tissue samples of individual fish, and while they're in captivity, they're also being fitted with tiny tracking devices to generate data about their health. >> and we're putting a little microchip into their bellies so that we can track where they are moving. so we have little antennas out there in the creeks, and we can track if they're migrating up further into the creeks higher up, or if they're out migrating towards the ocean into the bay. >> the program, known as united anglers of casa grande, was founded several decades ago, but the rescue and release permits mark a turning point for the

student led restoration efforts at a time when they may be more valuable than ever. >> this species is so unique to this creek, and especially with the current federal government cutting back on the funding. our work as students being student led is really important just in our local area. >> the program is approved for college credit, and graduates have gone on to careers in everything from biology to wildlife management. with a passion sparked alongside the bubbling tanks and running streams of casa grande. >> i applied to a lot of conservation or environmental science majors, and i do in the future want to go into conservation. >> and i caught my first fish last year and that was a life changing moment for me. and it's just been an amazing time. and i know that i've been making an impact, and it's something that i want to do for the rest of my life. >> in petaluma. drew tuma, abc seven news. >> it's cool, and the united anglers of casa grande are planning to begin releasing the steelhead as early as this week, with a goal of reintroducing 25

fish a day. how about that? >> pretty cool. well, friday is pi day, and i don't mean apple pi day occurs on march 14th because 314, of course, are the first three digits of the ratio of the circumference of the circle of a circle to its diameter dates back thousands of years, and is part of many formulas used in physics and engineering, most of which i don't understand. >> but anyway. >> pi day was first celebrated in 1988 at san francisco's exploratorium, and this year, pi day coincides with a lunar eclipse. the moon will pass into the earth's shadow overnight thursday and into friday morning. the moon rises at 710 on thursday. the total eclipse begins at 11:29 p.m. and will last about an hour. the moon officially sets at 7:37 a.m. >> okay, so will the skies be clear? that's the question. there are some stormy weather headed our way. see spencer's updated forecast next, and you can follow along as the forecast changes with the abc seven bay area app, it gives you access to the same live doppler seven our

encourages seven made three pointers away from 4000 for his career. he'd be the first ever to break the 4k mark. and guess what? he still has time to take on another job. would you believe that? news today? stephen curry will be named the assistant general manager at his college, davidson, and take care of the basketball teams there. of course, that school in north carolina. curry becomes the first active player of any kind to take an ncaa job of this type of magnitude, really, or any kind. you saw him recently in that road trip in charlotte hugging his head coach bob mckillop. warriors head coach steve kerr says he's almost more astonished by the davidson job than curry making all these threes. and steve hopes steph doesn't take that new gig too seriously, at least not for now. >> i am desensitized to the threes because they just come, you know, flooding through game after game 4000 is just an insane number, but it just seems like, you know, kind of natural.

i am not desensitized yet to the fact that he is the gm of davidson. i'm wondering, is he going to clean house? is he going in there and firing everybody? i don't know, we'll we'll see. he's got a got a big job on his hands. i'm hoping it's a ceremonial role more than anything. if he asks me if he can leave and not play a game so he can go scout, you know, some college games, i'm probably going to say no, although it is steph curry, so i'll probably say yes, actually. but i hope he does not ask. >> i mean, i guess it's just a simple fill out the vacation request type form from steph to steve, but he's going to stay here and hopefully play basketball in the, you know, nfl season far away. but free agency is fast and furious. don't mind if i read off my phone with the niners have done today or at least who they've lost offensive line or defensive back charvarius ward headed to the colts. offensive lineman aaron banks to green bay and safety talanoa hufanga to denver.

joining him in denver is his former linebacker. dre greenlaw will join huff in the mile high city. the hard hitting linebacker, expected to sign a three year, $35 million deal. he's been such a good player alongside fred warner, but injuries have been a problem for dre. played in just two games last season. came back, of course, in that torn achilles he suffered in super bowl 58. that was really hard to watch, and he's had a tough go of late. but when healthy, a very good player. after a career year in minnesota, former 40 niners backup quarterback sm darnold back in the nfc west, this time with the seattle seahawks. espn reports darnold will play in seattle. three year deal $100.5 million. $55 million guaranteed. and for niner, running back christian mccaffrey is adding to his team at home. christian and his wife, olivia culpo, announcing their pregnancy. congratulations to olivia and christian, brock purdy and george kittle, wives among several niners who offered their congratulations. san francisco fullback kyle juszczyk

commented, uncle juice can't wait to meet his godchild. congratulations guys. and speaking of kyle juszczyk, just in the last 30 minutes or so, espn nfl insider adam schefter says that the niners actually plan to release kyle juszczyk. he's been with the team for so long, that's tough to see, but this is kind of the new wave of the nfl. and brock purdy has to get paid eventually. antioch native former steelers running back now with the chargers, that would be najee harris. but the basketball watches on tonight at chase center. the football stuff is just like blowing my mind. we'll stick with steph curry. and i only have one job i don't know how steph does any of this. i have one job and i'm trying to do my best. >> you get it? we need to get him a cape because he's a superhero. yes. thanks, chris very much. >> super, steph. >> yeah. it's good. >> all right. coming up tonight on abc seven at eight. it's the bachelor. the women tell all, followed by the secret lives of mormon wives at ten. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. that is going to do it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama
