anthony slaughter says you will be okay during the day, but this evening heavy showers heading in. starting today, more opportunities to use your clipper cards if you take public transportation. four more agencies will accept clipper cards in the east bay this is beneficial for people who often ride the bus to b.a.r.t. or rely on the local buss in general. the clipper network has plans to expand to more bay area transit services by next year. now a follow up to a story we brought you earlier this week. an animal rights group and two former employees are making concerns known about what they're calling dangerous conditions for an animals at six flags vallejo. they say they were fired in retaliation. yesterday animal advocate protested in front of the park. they have a message for people going to six flags. >> we encourage them not to come

back until six flags gets all of their annuals to a certified sanctuary or places where they can be rehabilitated or released into the wild. >> six flags did not return calls for comment earlier this week, but a spokesperson did tell a court publication, conditions are safe for animals and that the lawsuit is without merit. we have new video of a humpback whale finally getting back its freedom. this was off the coast of la jolla shores in southern california. after two days a team of sea world and san diego lifeguards managed to remove up to 100 feet of fishing line that was entangled in the whale's mouth. marine biologists say the animal appears to be healthy. >> they lost everything in the valley fire, but now kids still trying to recover from the wildfire will get something special thanks to san mateo firefighters. station 21 hosted a bike build yesterday afternoon. they spent the day collecting and assembling dozens of bikes.

on wednesday, firefighters will deliver them to valley fire victims in middle town. >> all these kids basically lost everything they had. i remember when i got my first bike and special that was. it is a driving force. >> nearly 2,000 structured were destroyed in the valley fire. more than half of those structures were homes. >> let's check now with anthony slaughter and the weekend forecast. awesome they're getting those bikes, but it may be wet for riding. >> you can ride the bike in the rain or the sunshine, but we had so many wildfires this past season, rain is a welcomed sight. that's moving in this evening. rain, gusty winds and sierra snow over the next 24 hours. we'll start off with the rain. we can see it pushing into parts of lake and napa county, solano county as well. we'll continue to track that for the morning hours across parts

of the north bay. everywhere else it will be this evening. san francisco and points south once the sun starts to set. right now clear lake starting to see some showers. that will be the trend this morning for the north day and san francisco. the cold front is pushing in while we have sunshine now, it will be limited once we get towards the afternoon hours. the cold front is right on our doorstep. it turns rainy for san francisco later this afternoon. same for the north bay. showers first and then the rain starts to push down towards the peninsula, the east bay and eventually for the south bay. it's not going to be until tonight when we see the rain for the south bay and the tri valley. we will see a dry day for many inland valleys. the clouds will continue to stream in. you can see from this the leading edge of the cold front. showers will develop. it will be widespread overnight. i don't think there's going to

be a place in the day area that does not see rain tonight. tomorrow we become more widely scattered with rain. there will be the potential for some thunderstorms, and the sierra is expecting is it to i inches of snow. by noon, clouds become extensive and we will see showers in the north bay. this is 4:30, not a whole lot of rain this evening, very light in nature, not until the sun goes down, 9:00, 10:00 when showers become more widespread. after midnight, heavy rain across parts of the east bay and the south bay, that will be with you tomorrow morning. look at the rainfall amounts. the potential of a quarter inch for the north bay and across the peninsula and the south bay so this is a good dose of rain as

we move through the next couple of days and the potential of heavy snow. chains are question cho s ars at 24 hours over parts of the sierra. they are expecting upwards of 19 inches of snow near 7,000 feet. the other thing that will be with us tonight, winds start to pick up. tomorrow morning it's really going to be gusty. tomorrow afternoon, once that cold front pushes out of here, we're done with the rain and it becomes blustery. far inland valleys, gusts up to 30 miles per hour. at the coastline, 45 miles per hour. that's going to make for some chilly air. look at these temperatures, going from close to 90 yesterday in the tri valley back to the 60s for tomorrow and all week long. yeah, fall is here. november is here. finally we're getting some much needed rain. back over to you. >> almost feels like winter. thank you.

"today in the bay" is back in two minutes. coming up -- >> he's been fighting for eight years to achieve this dream. today i will be seeing that. >> the act of kindness that brought two strangers together and forever changed both of their lives. it's part of our bay area proud it's part of our bay area proud series. here ind, home of progresso, we figured out how to get rich ingredients like bacon into 22 light soups, so if you want 100 calories or less per serving without giving up rich flavor do what we do...make it progresso. this moment is perfect in every way just like my kid gooey...flaky...happy. toaster strudel. now with more icing.

steps after a gun shot wound it's a touching moment, a man taking some of his first steps after a gunshot wounded and paralyzed him eight years ago. but as garvin thomas tells us, that's not even the best part of the story. here's your installment of "bay area proud." >> when this incredible journey started, eugene hune and arthur were strangers. but after eugene took millions of steps so arthur could take one, these two are in step forever.

you'd think after 2600 miles of hiking, after weeks of solitude, sometimes days without food, you'd think finishing the pacific crest trail would have been eugene hune favorite memory of the trek. sure it was nice, he says, but not best. >> i can remember that moment like it was yesterday. >> we did it! >> that came a couple weeks earlier. somewhere in washington state. >> you're going to walk! >> appreciate the moment, though, you have to understand the back story. it all begins in a san francisco nightclub parking lot in 2007 when a robber mugged and shot a 20-year-old aspiring rapper from san leandro. the bullet severed arthur's spine. but didn't touch his spirit. >> i want to let you guys know, never give up. >> reporter: arthur becoming a full-time advocate. speaking out against gun violence, urging newly paralyzed patients to not give up on their

dreams. what's your name? >> reporter: just as he wasn't giving up on his dream to walk again. all he needed was $80,000 to buy one of these -- a robotic exoskeleton called rewalk. which is where eugene and the pacific crest trail come in. learning about arthur's story s eugene decided to hike the trail and raise that money for a man at the time he had never met. >> good to see you. >> reporter: but the further eugene traveled, the closer he and arthur got. and that moment on the trail -- >> yes! >> reporter: that is when eugene heard they reached their goal and arthur had his rewalk. of course hearing is not seeing. >> i can't believe this is happening. >> reporter: that's why this day is perhaps the best of all. >> he's been fighting for eight years to achieve this dream. today i will be seeing that. >> reporter: eugene has not seen

arthur since finishing the trek. and he has never seen him do thi this. >> oh, my gosh. >> reporter: thanks to eugene's kindness and determination, arthur can, indeed walk. and thanks to his friendship -- this sun real. >> reporter: he'll likely never walk alone again. wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. know that. you know that. >> reporter: while this whole experience has changed arthur's life, eugene says it has changed his. he says whatever endeavors he tackles in the future there will always ab measure of kindness in there somewhere. >> that's why we call it bay area proud. if you know of someone doing something nice for others, garvin would love to hear from you. still to come on "today in the bay," we'll have more on the early morning crash in the east

bay that killed two high school students. another is still fighting for her life at a local hospital. and an american hero getting more honors. how the air force is awarding a sacramento man for helping to stop a french terror attack. plus -- >> there's evil in the world. children are abused. it's hidden. >> when foster children cry out for help, sometimes no one is listening. we question an agency about abuse that goes unnoticed.

why let someone else have all the fun? the sometimes haphazard, never boring fun. the why can't it smell like this all the time fun. the learning the virtue of sharing fun. why let someone else have all the fun? that's no fun. unleash the power of dough. give it a pop. san jose - communications good morning. it is sunday. it's the end of daylight savings time. it's 7:29. we want you to look at san jose from our cameras atop

communications hill. looking sunny and nice. thanks for joining us. i'm vicky nguyen alongside anthony slaughter. that sunshine is deceptive. >> yes. >> joining us to tell us about major changes coming. >> today will not be anything like yesterday. temperatures yesterday near 90 degrees. livermore, gilroy is today not so much. talking about a ten degree drop in temps and rain moving into the north bay. showers will be with us all day in parts of the north bay. it won't be until the sun goes down south of san francisco when we see showers. right now, clover dale seeing some rain, hillsburg and middletown. across the bay area, sunshine. we have some clouds drifting in. those clouds will build as we head through the day. gray skies turning into rain in san francisco later this afternoon. the east bay, peninsula and south bay, once the sun goes down, 5:00, 6:00, and for the south bay after mid night it gets going. tomorrow morning expect a slick

commute. we also have sierra snow to talk about, gusty winds. this storm system will be the first significant rain and snow of the season, so definitely make sure you're paying attention if you have to do any traveling across the state. >> right. you said a lot of snow? >> up to 19 inches. >> fantastic. >> great news. new this morning, a major accident in the east bay claims the lives of two high school girls. it happened before 3:00 this morning in martinez. the victim's car crashed into a tree on franklin canyon road. not far from highway 4. you can see the devastation that that car took. a third person was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. >> preliminary we talked to her, she said she fell asleep. the last thing she remembers was being at 60 miles per hour. >> the chp says drugs and alcohol do not seem to be a factor in the incident, just fatigue.

a mother says the people in charge of protecting foster children left her 4-year-old daughter in the hands of abusers. she said when she tried to report the injuries, she was ignored. we want to warn you, some of the content in this story is difficult to see. we are showing you what social workers are accused of doing. >> bruises, bite marks. like somebody trying to choke her. >> reporter: they are the pictures no mother wants to take. images of unspeakable cruelty to her daughter, a 4-year-old girl. as a mom, did you think something was wrong? >> yes. >> reporter: we are calling her ana to protect her identity. she lost custody of her children in 2013 after her father was accused of physically abusing one of the children. in the new foster home, ana says

the little girl was bitten, burned and beaten. all of the photographs taken by ana. >> more than 100 pictures. >> reporter: ana says when she tried to show these photos to the social worker in charge, she turned around. >> she just turned around. she showed me her hand. she didn't want to see it. i can't believe that hatppened o her. >> reporter: ana's experience provides a rare view into serious problems at the santa clara department of social services. this audit reveals that the department's "failure to answer more than 7,000 calls annually results in abused and neglected children remaining in dangerous homes. the audit also found that workers answered only 59% of calls made to the center and callers hold for an average of

20 minutes to an hour. david corteze is the president of the santa clara board of supervisors. will you be tough on the leaders of these agencies if they are found not to have done their job? >> absolutely. one thing that's important for elect officials to do is make sure we hold peoples feet to the fire. >> reporter: as of april 15, according to a grand jury report, 11% of calls remain unanswered. santa clara county does not make more than one attempt to respond to voicemails and has no policy to respond to abandoned calls. >> to us, it's like a fire or police station. you answer those calls. >> reporter: this woman runs the bill wilson center. they receive 38,000 hotline calls a year. that's 12,000 more than santa clara county. after the audit came out, she

says her staff of four employees answers every call. >> the call is not answered, will that neighbor report again? probably not. >> just wanted to update you -- >> reporter: dfs hired more workers to staff the hotline, but at a meeting earlier this month it was said there are currently 50 social worker vacancies. he admit the case loads are high. >> it has gotten into the higher 20s. that's of great concern to us. >> we have a high case load, it can be challenging to make sure you're spotting the things you should be spotting. >> reporter: this legal director of the california branch of cosa, they train and match volunteers with foster kids so they have a long-term advocate. out of the 62,000 foster kids in the state, only 11,000 have an advocate. >> abuses in foster care are horrific. we knows there evil in the world. people will abuse children. once we know about it as a society, once we discover it,

receive a phone call what do we do? >> what has happened to her is something she will not get over. >> reporter: robert mazzetti is anna's attorney. he said in addition to ignoring abuse reports the county failed to screen the foster home where it sent ana's daughter. the county placed the girl in the care of her 21-year-old half sister, crystal, seen here in photos posted on facebook. according to police records, the father of both girls, jerry sr., was under a criminal protective order. he was only allowed to see his daughter during supervised visits, but he direct access to the home. >> they had a history of violence. for them to place the child in this home without checking is inexcusable. >> reporter: crystal faces criminal abuse and torture, accused of putting these wounds on her sister. her father, brother and mother all face felony child abuse

charges. all have pleaded not guilty. all declined to speak with us. ana's daughter was finally rescued. the doctor concluded she was a severely battered child and could have died from blood loss. >> they almost killed her. >> reporter: the county refuses to discuss any changes in its response to abuse reports or how the agency screens foster homes. >> how quickly would you like abuse reports to be resolved? if a social worker gets a complaint about abuse what are they supposed to do? >> we can set up some time to talk. >> reporter: later the director declined to talk. laura medina is the director of the department of family and children services. she, too declined to provide information. >> why do you think they won't answer basic questions about the audit and what they have done to improve since that time? i can't answer for others. i will ask them those questions. >> reporter: do you trust social services? >> no. >> reporter: ana is now suing santa clara county.

she is sharing her story because she fears other children may be suffering from a system that ignores reports of abuse. for her daughter, it was almost too late. >> what is your hope moving forward? >> i love so much my kids. some day i wish they come back. >> that little girl is in the care of a new foster family and is doing well. the department of social services is expected to provide an update on just how it's responding to abuse reports. that meeting will happen next month and the investigative unit will be there to ask who is watching out for these children. if you have a tip for our unit, give us a call at 888-996-tips or send us an e-mail. every second counts, a former san jose councilwoman is crediting firefighters with helping to save her life. nancy pyle suffered a massive

heart attack on friday. she tells us it happened at a luncheon during the san jose convention center. she said firefighters happened to be in the building and immediately began cpr and got her breathing. pyle who served on the san jose city council from 2004 to 2012 is resting at a south bay hospital. she says the san jose firefighters are the best in the world and the first responders even visited her at the hospital to see how she's doing. the last gun shop in san francisco closes this weekend. the owner of highbridge arms says he is uncomfortable with complying with new mandates from the city. san francisco requires gun stores to record purchase and give police weekly updates on customers and sales. reaction to the store's closing is mixed. >> i don't understand our gun laws at all. i think this is a fantastic step forever t for the city. this is a family store. it's sad to see this happen.

this is part of, in my opinion, san francisco history. >> olympic shooter bob ciao opened high bridge harms back in 1952. and american hero getting top owners. spencer stone, the usairman who helped stop a french terror attack was promoted to staff sergeant. the 23-year-old earned the distinction for his leadership and courage during the attack back in august. stone and two friends subdued a gunman who opened fire on a paris-bound train. the sacramento native receive a hero's welcome when he returned home. up next, the mets look to even up the fall classic and steph curry shows up for halloween as superman.

that sound. like nails on a chalkboard. but listen to this: (family talking) that's a different kind of sound. the sound of the weekend. unleash the power of dough. give it a pop. it's always worth remembering... that icing the cinnamon rolls is a privilege not a right. unleash the power of dough. give it a pop.

the "big easy" -- taking on the pelicans. and new orleans got more tricks the warriors spent halloween in the big easy taking on the pelicans, and new orleans got more tricks than treats from the reigning mvp. stove curry haunted the pelicans all night long. he scored 28 points in the third quarter alone and 53 in the game. he is off to the best start of his career. >> kind of just leave an imprint on the game. hot start to the season, we want to try to keep it going. >> from the big easy to the big apple, game four of the fall classic, the royals lead the series two games to one against the mets. new york led by a run heading into the eighth. kansas city would take advantage

of a critical error by the mets to steal the game in front of a stunned crowd. the royals win 5-3. they have a commanding three games to one series advantage. "today in the bay" is back after this break. coming up what does the future hold for lieutenant governor gavin newsom. l a political analyst joining us live to tell us how newsom is moving towards the top job.

here in vineland, home of progresso, we figured out how to get rich ingredients like bacon into 22 light soups,

so if you want 100 calories or less per serving without giving up rich flavor do what we do...make it progresso. this moment is perfect in every way just like my kid gooey...flaky...happy. toaster strudel. now with more icing. elsewhere are focusing on the 2016 presidential election, california lieutenant most people here and elsewhere are focusing on the 2016 presidential election. gavin newsom is looking ahead to 2018 when the governorship will be up for grabs. how can newsom or others build support for that now given all the noise around 2016. can you talk to us about some of the challenges that the lieutenant governor faces or anyone else who wants to run for

governor in 2018? >> anyone else, like you said, 2018 is a while away. but in a sense it isn't. let's explain newsom's predicament. as lieutenant governor he is in noman's land. he has a small portfolio. the biggest thing he can do is bake a 20-20 tie in the state senate. that virtually hardly ever happens. all the oxygen in the room is sucked up when newsom or anyone else is around. holding that job can be mofrpre a liability than asset. >> so, there are things that he needs to do to get some attention between the presidential election and obviously the large shadow cast by governor jerry brown. not a lot of room. what is newsom doing to get that attention? >> unless you are creative.

that's newsom's forte. his most recent move is to take on the gun lobby. one of the most powerful special interests in the nation. he is looking to ban high capacity ammunition magazines and require instant background checks for anyone purchasing bullets, which would be the first in the nation. he seems to have a public opinion on his side. at least for now, a public survey report by the public policy institute found that 65% of all adults say that california should have stricter gun control laws. >> i'm also hearing his voice on video ads for measures in san francisco for the inlaw unit. he is also known for supporting gay marriage and legalizing marijuana. >> newsom is in the right spot because it looks like that

initiative will go down. yeah, this is part of the plan. as far as the same-sex marriage movement goes, it got a tremendous boost 11 years ago when as mayer of san francisco newsom ordered the city clerk to perform same-sex marriages. the courts ordered him to stop, but hissers efforts put him in t of same sex leaders. earlier this year he declared that marijuana should be legalized and taxed, and promised to lead a ballot issue here on this topic in the 2016 election. majority supporting this idea, as we've seen in a recent public opinion poll. he's lining himself up with the right issues in social terms. >> the right issues and on the right side of the issues. do these efforts make him the candidate to beat in 2018? who else is out there? any names floating around for who will take the top job in

california? >> that is what makes newsom's effort so clever, and well orchestrated. by getting in front of issues with broad support, newsom has found a way to make news now in spite of his relatively powerless elected office. it also means he's forcing other candidates like steve wesley and eric garcetti, the mayor of l.a., antonio villaraigosa, all these guys to organize campaigns much earlier. it means a burn rate that is much higher. it's a way to get him going before everybody else. it's way too early. we know that. it's way too early to know if newsom is the candidate to beat. but newsom is certainly more out there, he has more share of the press than just about anybody else, that's got to be a concern for opponents. the last thing anybody else is thinking about is that 2018 election. >> now it's on their minds. larry, thank you.

stay with us. coming up next on "today in the bay," a halloween fliedy and it'sfly by. we'll show you what an asteroid looked like as it passed the earth. we have rain moving in later this afternoon and evening. the potential for a big snowstorm across the sierra. we will be back to break down those details coming up.

welcome back.

7:53 is the time. want to start off with a shot of our satellite and radar. we are talking about a significant storm system set to impact the bay area over the next 24 hours. we will get some rain out of this, gusty winds and even the potential of a big snowstorm across parts of the sierra. let's talk about the rain. it's falling across the north bay. very light in nature but starting to fall, at least within the last few minutes in places like ukiah, cloverdale, clear lake and now towards hillsburg. i want to show you hiealdsburg, you can see a few peeks of sunshine, but mostly clouds. showers pushing through this afternoon and tonight for the south bay and tri valley. a warmer day for the south bay. 76 expected there. cool elsewhere with temperatures in the low 70s, even 67 in san francisco. tri valley, will you see the
