without the boat, oakland is vulnerable to typical incidents of terrorism on the water. the outside consultants urge that the boat be restored as a vital tool to protect the port in the post 9/11 world. there's another risk for not having a fire station on the city's water front. it comes from trait trains. they can cost precious minute foss crews responding from downtown to the waterfront. >> there is a chance you will not be able to get here because of a train. so you're taking a chance, a risk. >> reporter: he says each date some 52 freight trains pass by on the way to the port. each creates a potential roadblock for first responders. parker says that's unacceptable. >> if that fire boat is not reinstated, and they don't put firefighters back in there, someone will pay the pride. >> zach unger says firefighters

we've enjoyed a nice break this weekend. yes, it's kind of cold, as peggy mentioned. already down in the 30s, 45 closer to san jose. fog free right now, 48 degrees, and patchy fog setting up for the morning community. 45 in san jose, and some of the temperatures around the south bay trying to drop into the upper 30s. right now 22, and 41 degrees at sayers toinga. east bay, trivalley, on numbers in the upper 30s. railroad down to a quarter mile for fog. that's a sneak preview of tomorrow morning's commute. and with that all-day breeze, we'll likely see the coolest temperatures of the day into contra costa, napa and solano counties. could have some patchy frost to start and hazy sunshine, highs

close to 60 in san jose. mid 50s from livermore over towards antioch and brentwood. upper 50s, up to san francisco, highs in the mid to upper 50s, with patchy low clouds, and a dry forecast for the north bay after the patchy fog lifts, highs in the mid 50s. pretty interesting. we're seeing the atmospheric river set up, but this time for british columbia. we'll see this drift toward the bay area a bit on wednesday, but the went, friday systems will move through the bay area quickly, which we think will limit the rainfall totals. we'll catch a beake into thursday, and storm 2 on friday. another break for saturday, and then perhaps the strongest storm in the series setting up for sunday into monday. that storm will bring we think the highest rain totals of the three systems, but as you add them up, about 3 to 6 inches the

rain. rewind back to last sunday we had more than a foot of rain across the mountains. the ground will be saturated, winds up to 50 miles per hour will be higher possible at times. wednesday and friday, and then the third system bears watching, maybe for some localized runoff issues, with probably the most rain in the series, last there sunday into monday. by the way, that friday system, temperatures cooling, could see snow levels down to 3500 feet. so a good snow producer for the sierra. the issue this time around will be stronger winds winds and high surf. >> it's wonderful to see the snow pack just really recovering. >> and the drought gone in northern california. >> thanks, rob. a wild day of nfl playoffs. and the warriors getting ready to take on lebron james and the cavaliers. a preview of tomorrow's big martin luther king day game next.

hey, guys, the csn studios,

which is the game that every warriors fan has had circled on their calendar. the martin luther king showdown between the cavs and warriors, but it's more than just a regular season game. you see, if you include last year's nba finals, the warriors have lost four straight against lebron james and the cavs. back on christmas day, these lost a lead in cleveland. >> he tripped and fell, and they lost by one. so they're looking forward to the remav. >> in cleveland it was offensive rebounds and turnovers, which allowed them 20 extra shots. 19 or 20 extra shots. if you give a team that's talented that many extra possessions? they're more than likely ability to get back into the game or create momentum, especially at home. we're up 13 in the fourth

quarter because of, you know, executing at a high level on both ends of the floor, and then, you know, like i say, that will cap up to you if if you give them that many extra possessions, and in the nba, 19 extra is a lot. so football, the 49ers are the last team in the nfl with a head coaching vacancy. on sunday seahawks offensive line coach tom cable interviewed for the position. as you may recall, cable is a former raiders head coach. he compiled a record in 2008 to 2010. and as seen here, the afc playoffs, steelers at chiefs, late fourth quarter, pittsburgh up 18-10, thanks to six feel goals from sponsor, but spencer ware punches it in making it 18-16, but they have to go for two, and chase chiefs backed up,

and alex smith cannot thread the needle. steelers hold on to win 18-16. nfc divisional playoffs, packers at cowboys, late fourth quarter game tide at 31. check out the throw by aaron rodgers. hello, jared cook, makes the catch, but is he in? illustrates you betcha. he somehow keeps his feet in bounds, mason crosby for a win a 352-yard field go packers pull off the upset. they're headed to the nfc title game. so the packers will face the falcons in atlanta for the championship game. meanwhile, the steelers will face tom brady and the patriots in new england for the afc title game. peggy, terry, back to you. >> a thrill for a local veteran. 93-year-old isaiah broh got to

meet several sharks players. before the game he received a huge honor. >> he got to drop the puck ahead of the team. and as we first showed you on friday, the shark's president organization helped remodel him home. >> way to go sharks. talking about the story of the night and the week. >> chilly, patch i don't fog. no worries about rain, probably for at least the next few days. to start the day, and then high it is tomorrow, upper 50s to near 60 in san jose. the seven-day forecast shows changes the middle part of the week, one, two, three, wednesday, friday, and then sunday we're watching the storms coming in, which will have a lot of wind, high surf on the coast. but by the time we get to sunday, though, we could see runoff issues. but pretty gusty winds midweek. >> a day in between to at least let it soak in a bit? >> yeah. if you have the day off

tomorrow, enjoy it. thanks for joining us on this special edition of nbc bay area news. see you here at 11:00.

>> yes. >> it's either going to be $950,011, or if shantell signed the guarantee, $135,001. either way, it's going to be a ton of money or a crap ton of money. we're going take a quick break and compose ourselves. when we come back, we're going it find out how all of this ends. shantell has an $800,000 decision. she doesn't know that, but we know that. what did she do? which way is this going to swing? find out when we return on "the wall." coming up -- >> if you tore up the contract, you get the amount that was left on "the wall." >> with over $800,000 on the line. >> it was such a hard decision. with all the rush in the morning,

[sfx: bong] welcome back to "the wall." now, jarrod has no idea what shantell has decided behind "the wall." let's bring her back out and see how this all ends and catch her up a little bit. welcome back, shantell. [ applause ] >> a lot has happened since you were in isolation. i have never seen anyone who doesn't know about a subject somehow manage to answer it out of nowhere. working through the choices, choosing an answer at random, you actually got three out of six questions right. for each of the correct answers that you gave, we added $20,000 to your guarantee, which means that the contract that we put in

front of you was worth $135,001. if you signed it. if you tore it up, you get the amount that was left on the wall. so i'm going to bring you over here in front of jarrod, and i would like you to tell him what it was you decided to do. >> when i was back there, i dreamed big. i dreamed of helping our parents, and i dreamed of the house i grew up in that my parents had to get rid of that is just magically back on the market now, and how awesome that would be to just pay it cash. it was such a hard decision. >> what was it?

>> i signed the contract. >> all right. you signed the contract. $135,000. you signed the contract. >> just relax. relax. babe, $135,000 is a lot of money. and it's okay that we are out $950,000 because i still love you, and we can still do so much with that money. $135,000 is so much money.

it's okay. >> you're okay. >> you did exactly what i think anyone would have done in your position. this man was solid. he played a great game out here. you know what, you still have $135,000. >> right. >> you didn't have any of that before you got here. you jarrod and shantell are $135,000 richer. thank you so much for watching "the wall." we'll see you next time. the tension is rising. the critics are raving. and with its power to change lives -- >> that's the right answer for $25,000. >> "the wall" is just getting started. and this tuesday, for one deserving couple, this could be their chance to win life-changing money. >> i love you, and let's create a future for our kids.
