woke politics. mayor breed pushed back a bit against that idea this morning, saying the vote was more about common sense and putting education first. >> my take is that it was really about the frustration of the board of education doing their fundamental job, and that is to make sure that our children are getting educated, that they get back into the classroom, and that did not occur. they were focusing on other things that were clearly a distraction. >> she did go on to say that renaming schools and changing administrations policies are important, but they should have taken a back seat to covid education plans. she wants the seats filled by people who will focus on priorities like learning loss, mental health challenges and the budget deficit. chuck todd also brought up san francisco's next high-profile recall with district attorney chesa boudin, who would be out of a job. he faced sharp criticism for his handling of crimes and repeat o fenders. todd pointed out he came out

against the school board members. mayor breed says regardless of the recall she wants to make sure she can still work with the d.a.'s office. >> i haven't made a decision one way or another about the recall. i'm still debating on whether or not i will, but ultimately what i want to be able to do is make sure that the decision i make is not an impediment to my ability to work with the district attorney and keeping san franciscans safe. >> the recall election is june 22nd. heads-up, it's popular way to get around the south bay, but new video shows how one wrong move could put your life at risk. >> and speaking of the south bay, today only low 60s, and get ready for highs in the 40s and 50s and snow, potentially, on our bay area mountaintops. big change in the forecast coming up.

screen. by 7:00, beginning to see a few scattered showers dropping in from the north as a very cold air mass starts to settle in across the west coast. that's going to drive snow levels down to as low as 2,000 to 3,000 feet at times on tuesday. now, the problem is, given how cold the air is, it doesn't have a lot of moisture to work with. by 11:00 on monday we're seeing scattered showers approaching the coast, a few more as we head into the morning and then by tuesday 9:00 a.m. we're seeing snow showers near mount hamilton. we're still in scattered showers mode. this is not going to produce widespread heavy rain, unfortunately. right there in the higher peaks south of livermore, could see a little bit of snow and then things settle down as we head into tuesday night. rain totals don't look so good, probably higher around the coast and the mountains. most of the bay area seeing less than a quarter of an inch or tenth of an inch of rain.

now, for the sierra, the better news, could see more than a foot of snow. that is the most snow we've seen in almost six weeks, so that is good news for the sierra. look at the temperature change. tuesday, highs in the bay area, upper 40s to low 50s and morning temperatures in the low 30s across the valleys. wednesday morning and thursday morning we could actually see lows in the upper 20s. so there you go. there's a lot on that tuesday frame right there. you can see the chance of hail with some showers, too, snow levels between 2,000 to 3,000 feet. as the skies clear, look at the bottom of the screen. low temperatures could lead to some freeze warnings for the interior valley, so we have to watch that as the skies clear. the cold air is going to be sticking around a while, trending a little warmer as we head toward next weekend. a winter blast temperature-wise and tuesday could see all kinds of precipitation around the bay area. >> i'm looking at next sunday,

and showers? >> possibly. we could see some showers maybe up towards mendocino county. it doesn't look like it's going to get quite this far south. hopefully things change as we run into march. >> we're running out of time. >> yes, fourth quarter of the rain season. we need it to dhang. >> thank you. hip hop has always had a home in the bay area. now one man is using that legacy to create change in the future. we'll have that story in two minutes. okay, it's go time. team usa on the largest gig-speed network. which means this mega fan never misses a second. it's gig-speed wifi that's “mikaela shiffrin” fast. ok, that's fast! speed's cool, but does yours block threats? yup, even for these upstairs all-nighters

throughout february, nbc bay area and our partners at nbc sports are celebrating black history. hip hop has been part of american culture for five decades. you can hear it in movies, commercials and at sporting events. >> and one bay area man has dedicated his life to teaching the art in its purist form and he's changing lives in the process. ♪

♪ >> hip hop ain't music. hip hop is a culture. it's how i walk, talk, speech, it's my spray paint. it's how i move. ♪ ♪ >> i'm the executive director and founder of hip hop for change, the largest hip hop education nonprofit in the nation. ♪ >> i had this idea that i could create a grassroots organization to fund hip hop and empower us to do something good for the community. so that was almost nine years ago, man. since then we've raised almost $5 million and employed over 5,000 people from the bay area and educated over 28,000 little

homeys. 70% of white people in america don't have people of color for friends. so the way the media represents our black and brown youth is key to how they get to move through society. so we talk to people about that and inform them culture is something more than they see. steph curry is working out with his headphones in. that looks familiar with me. seeing hip hop in these spaces means that i can be in these spaces, too. it's everything. representation matters. just as much as it matters to see michelle obama or kamala harris. it matters to see hip hop in these big spaces elevated, too. black history month is for everybody, because right now we're not elevating all histories equally. that's why people need to have a critical lens into different cultures and what different people have been through. i think black history month is really beautiful for that. i've got big shoes to fill. i'm standing on the shoulders of idab. wells and carmichael and

a historic hotel in san francisco is getting ready to reopen, but it is going to have a new name. >> for 94 years this hotel was known as the sir francis drake, but when the hotel reopens this spring it will be called the beacon grand. this is the latest effort in the bay area to replace the name of the english explorer who participated in slave trading in the 1500s. last year sir francis drake high school changed its name. >> the beefeater in front, tom sweeney, i hope he's somehow a beefeater still. >> i had to look up what

beefeater is. i'm like, why do they call him beefeater? did you know? because back then they were permitted to eat as much beef as they wanted from the king's table. i had no clue. >> folks, it's not just informative, it's educational here at nbc bay area. for a little more education on the forecast, let's check in with rob right now. >> those outfits are appropriate. we've got some 30s and 40s tomorrow morning. chilly in some of the valleys. could see patchy fog to start and then, unlike the way the weekend started where we had 70s, the temperatures hour by hour tomorrow not warming up much. we'll begin to see showers approaching the north bay by 3:00 and highs tomorrow only in the mid-50s and even colder by tuesday. you'll notice we've got sunshine for tomorrow morning around sunrise into the afternoon. the first wave of a few scattered showers coming down the coast as we get into monday night. and tuesday, that's the big change-up in the forecast.

scattered showers, a little sun, and we could see some hail or ice pellets, heavier showers. it's been a while since we've had a little bit of everything in the forecast. we've got it for you on tuesday. highs upper 40s to low 50s and skies will clear. notice the bottom of the screen, morning temperatures, cold enough where we could get some freeze warnings up for the valleys. wind sheltered valleys could see 20s and 30s. as we get to friday the chilly morning temperatures continue and the next chance of finding rain could be for areas around northwestern sonoma county next weekend beyond tuesday. the seven-day forecast doesn't offer us any more rain chances just yet. we hope by the end of next weekend the showers to the north can drop farther south. this is a big reversal, some places almost 20 to 30 degrees cooler than the high temperatures yesterday. tuesday, again, winter coats,

umbrellas and maybe some snow shovels for some areas toward the sierra. >> we went from so much water, it was a fantastic start. give me an idea of what tuesday is going to look like. are we going to have four seasons in one day? >> it will seem that way. the air is really dry, so it's not going to be a big rain totals producer, but the precipitation could be interesting. we've been looking atin right n because that storm is dropping south. they're getting ice pellets, isolated thunder, snow down to 2,000 feet and a mix of sun. that's a sneak preview of what i think is headed our way late tomorrow into tuesday. and then the temperatures really cold, patchy frost or some ice. >> an important reminder that we are still in the middle of winter. i wish we could get more rain.

>> hopefully if we had a 14-day forecast it will have a little more. >> let's break it out later. rob, thanks a lot. >> thank you for watching. nightly news is coming up next. >> see you after the olympics. tonight, vladimir putin's march to war. with the u.s. saying an invasion is imminent, the new intelligence na putin has given the order to strike and some fighting has started as we speak. ukrainian soldiers hurt. civilians evacuated, as the state department warns it's dangerous for americans inside russia. president biden, huddling with his national security council today. >> we're talking about the potential for war in europe. >> the cost of that war, the new warning the price of gas and
