morning. it is saturday, march 8th. we are taking a live look outside salesforce tower as the

sun begins to rise on this final morning of standard time. this time tomorrow will be 8 a.m. when we spring forward and welcome daylight saving time. thank you so much for starting your weekend with us. i'm kira klapper also on this international women's day, we turn to cinthia pimentel with a quick look at our microclimate forecast. jason, i wanted to bring a lot of sunshine for all of the women in our lives. look at dublin. just absolute stunner right now as we start this morning. but it is met with some cold numbers out there in the tri-valley 36 in pleasanton to even cooler up there in sonoma at 34. good morning to you. those upper 30s down through palo alto to low 40s in south san jose right now. so expect a mild and bright weekend to celebrate all the women in your life and get ready for that daylight saving time to start tomorrow morning. i'll tell you about what i need you to do ahead of that. and as we go on into next week, we are going to be looking at some storms rolling back in. i'm tracking an atmospheric river. i'll give you

the timing of that coming up in the 7-day forecast in about 15 minutes. kira back to you. all right, cinthia, thanks. we begin with a fight in one east bay community. it hasn't even been one month since the city of fremont passed a strict new homeless ordinance, one that many call the most severe in the nation. it's a new law that promises, in part, to punish the homeless and those who help em. but now it has opposition and the city council, who initially passed the ordinance, says they will rise it. today in the bay thom jensen reports. critics of the fremont ordinance say criminalizes homelessness and even threatens to jail and fine anyone who helps an unhoused person in the city. they've shown they believe some people are worth more than others. we reject this lie completely. fremont city council has drawn attention from national homeless advocacy groups after passing the ordinance by a61 vote last month. these ordinances don't just attack our unhoused sisters and brothers. they attack the very fabric of human connection

that helped america survive in its darkest hours. the mayor and council members have defended the law from the start. i think it's being weaponized and this is not an accurate portrayal. but now say they'll amend the ordinance and the controversial provision that finds people who aid or abet unhoused people or allow backyard camping for longer than 72 hours. big concern has been regarding the aiding and abetting and the misinterpretation that our beloved prophets, our faith based organizations and agencies that they could suffer criminal repercussions. however, lawyers for the california homeless union filed this 62 page complaint and motion for injunction to stop the ordinance, at least temporarily. they say even if the city amends the new ordinance, which was set to begin in six days, there's still language in the existing law making homelessness, as well as aiding and abetting unhoused people illegal. this measure, measure chapter 8.90, is unconstitutional on its face. attorney for the groups talk to their clients and the media in a

zoom meeting about what all this means and what they plan to do if the city doesn't change the new law and its old law. if we do not see the changes that we think would make it constitutionally appropriate, we will so inform the court. attorney anthony prince says he'll wait to see what amendments the city makes on march 18th, and he'd prefer to sit down and negotiate a deal. but if the essential element of criminalizing homelessness is still in the ordinance, they'll see the city in court. thom jensen today in the bay and the bay area's biggest city, also getting pushback for its homeless plan. san jose mayor matt mahan is defending the plan. it would give police the power to arrest anyone who repeatedly refuses city help. mayor mahan first made the case this week, saying that recently, more than 30% of people at one homeless encampment refused to move into interim housing under the mayor's new proposal. if someone refuses that interim

housing three times in 18 months, they could be arrested and cited for trespassing. mayor mahan spoke to us last night on our 7 p.m. newscast. these are not congregate shelters. they're not barracks. they're they're really very nice, supportive environments with private rooms, private bathrooms. we want to meet people where they are and get them indoors. but if you repeatedly refuse to come indoors when our residents are paying out of their own hard earned dollars to provide safe, dignified housing and shelter, we're out of tools on the city side. advocates for the unhoused say the mayor's proposal criminalizes homelessness. people who use public transit in and around silicon valley are being warned to plan ahead for their commute on monday morning. that's because the santa clara valley transportation authority workers are preparing to walk off their job. the union that represents 1500 vta bus and light rail workers handed the

board its intent to strike on thursday. the union says it's been negotiating with the vta since last august. the vta is offering a 9% pay raise over three years, but the union wants an 18% raise if a deal is not reached. the strike is expected to begin 12:01 a.m. monday morning. now to a new development in a story with some video that is disturbing to watch. two east bay women have been charged after this video went viral. of one of those women kicking a neighbor's dog across his front lawn, pittsburgh police say the mother and her 18 year old daughter were both arrested. the video captured the dispute between the two and their male neighbor. the shouting match ended when one of the women, as you see there, kicked the little dog so hard it went flying across the lawn. both women seen in the video were arrested. this is a photo

of one of them and the other. they face felony animal cruelty and firearms charges. they're also accused of filing a false police report. new pushback over cuts made by the trump administration. thousands of people at several rallies across the country, including in san francisco yesterday, all at gatherings with one goal in mind stand up for science. the rallies were in response to president trump's call to freeze nearly all federal research funding. the trump administration said the freeze is necessary to give his administration time to make sure taxpayer dollars are going toward legitimate research. the demonstrators are worried the freeeeze will have devastating impacts. in addition to that rally in san francisco, another big rally on the campus of uc berkeley, along with several other major cities like our state capital of sacramento and the nation's capital of washington, dc. the attacks on science are terrible. the

funding. federal funding for science has led to unaccountable progress in medicine, climate, environmental protection. among the cuts, the national institutes of health would be stripped of millions of dollars for research into alzheimer's disease, cancer, heart disease and other illnesses. california, meanwhile, is suing the trump administration over those massive federal layoffs. state attorney general rob bonta announced the move yesterday. bonta now joins 19 other state attorneys general in the lawsuit, all blasting the trump administration's actions as unlawful and overstepping the authority granted by congress. as we've been reporting, there have been mass layoffs at agencies across the federal government. the effort, led by elon musk's department, which aims to slash the size of the government and get rid of

inefficiencies. this action to, quote unquote, curb waste and inefficiency, end quote, is exactly the opposite. it's wasteful. it's inefficient. unfortunately, this is yet another example of my office needing to follow through on our promise. we'll take action if and when trump violates the law. the lawsuit calls for a temporary restraining order to pause those layoffs and reinstate employees who were unfairly terminated. the white house has not commented on this specific lawsuit. just this week, president trump placed new limits on musk's downsizing, saying cabinet secretaries will now be in charge using a, quote, scalpel instead of a hatchet. former vice president kamala harris says she will decide whether she will run for california governor by the end of summer. that's according to sources who said they overheard

her answer when asked that question at an academy awards party last weekend. there has been speculation about whether harris will enter the 2026 race, as governor gavin newsom, turns out, but doing so would mean harris rules out a 2028 presidential run in phone calls and at private gatherings. harris has told supporters she is, quote, staying in this fight. if harris does run and does win, she would be the first black woman to be a governor in all of america. just about ten past the hour on your saturday morning. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay. coming up, new details in the shocking death of actor gene hackman and his wife. what we are finally learning about his final days and the rare

♪♪ ♪♪ dreams begin here. welcome to the goodnight club.

we are above a blanket of clouds looking from our sutro tower cam towards the bay. the marin headlands there on your far back. right. and the bay, the golden gate bridge. pardon me. somewhere underneath there, cinthia pimentel says, will actually be a nice weekend and enjoy it. we have an atmospheric river ahead. we are learning more about how and when actor gene hackman and his wife died. the medical examiner now says hackman died from heart disease,

with alzheimer's disease as a contributing factor. his wife, pianist betsy arakawa, died of hantavirus about a week prior to hackman. hantavirus is an infection spread by contact with rodent droppings that can be deadly in roughly 40% of cases. oftentimes, it causes fluid to build up in the lungs. both were found dead in their santa fe, new mexico, home in the middle of last month. in new mexico, the most common carrier of hantavirus is the deer mouse. infectious disease specialist doctor peter chin-hong says hantavirus is rare, but people need to be cautious, especially if going camping or camping. there's a lot of soil you can ingest or inhale these dust particles that contain the virus, which is in the feces of rodents, and you can get very sick. doctor chin-hong says after exposure, you could get flu like symptoms, but then it

can rapidly progress to difficulty breathing. he adds there is no specific treatment, only supportive care like what's called an ecmo, which is a machine that can provide support for the heart and the lungs. one of the founding members of a popular bay area r&b group has died. the family of d'wayne wiggins, who helped co-found tony, tony, tony, announced he died of cancer. the oakland native is best known for his work with that r&b soul band. he also performed with several other well-known artists. tony, tony tony first rose to fame in the late 80s. the group achieved some of its greatest commercial successes with hits it never rains in southern california and anniversary. wiggins had just recently married. he was only 64. water quality improvements are coming to lake elizabeth in fremont. earlier this week, the city council approved a water

quality improvement pilot project. the goal is to reduce the likelihood of fish die off, which can happen during extreme heat. surface aerators and monitoringrobes will be installed in a section of the lake that will help improve oxygenation, regulate water temperature, and monitor water quality. that is expected to be completed in july. if that project is successful, the city could expand the project to other sections of that lake. a live look for you now. as the sun shines over the sap center, where today, to mark international women's day, the san jose sharks will host a women of teal celebration. it will include a mix of in-game events and fan activities, reflecting women's impact in the sports world and beyond. donations also are being collected for next door solution which is a domestic violence agency in santa clara county. team executive heather vaughn also showed us a unique

fan giveaway a beanie with a custom designed crest made by local artist amanda valenzuela. it has three sharks and it makes up a w to represent the women of teal. so all fans in attendance will receive that. and then we've got a couple of special drink offers and themed food and beverage throughout the evening. and not only that, our own laura garcia will make a special in-game appearance for the sharks tonight. host the new york islanders. the game starts at seven. if you can't make it to the game, though, and you're looking for something else to do in this beautiful weather, we're expecting our mike inouye has a few ideas in this weekend calendar. good morning kira. today is international women's day, so let's start with an event going on in san jose today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the campus of james lick high school. the community is invited to gather to support and in celebration of empowering women,

shine together and join us car club are hosting a community event featuring live music, delicious food and fun activities for all ages. admission is free, but you can donate money or diapers and wipes to help shine together, support the young moms they serve and in service to our youth in general. let's help stoke their interest in stem. that's science, technology, engineering and mathematics. you head to the sonoma county fairgrounds in santa rosa for the north bay science discovery day. their mission is to spark young people's wonder and curiosity to connect them with stem industries, education, and in the public sector. there you can talk with scientists and engineers and explore over 150 interactive exhibits, from rockets to beehives, robots to sharks, maybe even robot sharks and so much more. admission and parking are free, so easy access for all. but i want to remind you folks about no access for part of bart's yellow line. look over here. the pittsburg center station will be closed all weekend for the installation of those next generation faregates during the tempora station closure. the yellow line service

will continue to run between pittsburgh and bay point stations and antioch stations without stopping at the pittsburg center station itself. passengers who use the pittsburg center station can use adjacent stations. they can take a free shuttle bus between any of those three pittsburg center, pittsburg bay point, and antioch stations. aside from that closure, enjoy your saturday. good info there, mike. thanks. lady gaga has been preparing all week to pull double duty tonight on saturday night live. heidi gardner steps out of her office trying to pretend she isn't sleeping here, but we all know she is. yeah, we all know i'm sleeping here. yeah, i do. it's dad. always have. this is the second time that lady gaga has served as the host and musical guest. it comes one day after the singer released her new album, abracadabra. you can watch snl tonight. it starts at 830 right here on nbc bay area.

and if you missed that live coast to coast broadcast, it will re-air an encore after our 11 p.m. news. time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. sounds like it will be a nice weekend, you say we're wrapping up standard time getting into some more sunshine after this week. so let's go ahead and take a look outside. it is mostly clear we are looking at those 30s though. through dublin santa rosa. we are looking at those low 40s from mountain view down into san jose. so a clear start for all of our morning errands. we look out there towards oracle park. yes, it's almost baseball time, but not quite. we are looking at the giants fan fest though today. wrapping up there in san francisco looks like a great time to be out there, so enjoy it. the temperatures there in the low 60s right by the water. we are looking at a day where we get a little bit more mild for our weekend going into those 64 degrees right there through the napa valley, 68 out there in dublin might hit 70. i'll watch that later on this afternoon,

right here in downtown san jose. pretty much the same for our sunday. now, speaking of sunday and what i wanted you to do ahead of this daylight saving time that starts tomorrow, we are going to turn those clocks forward, so don't freak out. if you wake up tomorrow and the kitchen stove says a different time, just you were prepared for that. we are looking at a sunrise at about 730 and that later sunset. so a good time to change the batteries and also just other things that take that about six month transition to get through. we are looking at some weather going into next week where we'll start out dry for monday and tuesday. there is a system that is offshore right now, but i think it will hit our neighbors down into southern california. so if you have any travel plans that way, but going on into the middle of the week here is that atmospheric river lining up for the bay area. it's going to be a soggy one, but i'm going to call it our miracle march because we're going to get some sierra snow mixed in there as well. now, what we can expect for this early model runs are a lot of moisture, and that wind picking up as the system intensifies and comes closer to

the shore. now, as we take it on, even on into friday, we are looking at those rain showers continuing. so even though we have some good weather right now, do not let your guard down for next week. keep those umbrellas and those jackets rain boots, right there by your doorstep, so that you're ready to go through our 7-day forecast. and those numbers that change from mild to cool, 60s 70s to upper 50s by the middle of next week there, i'll be here tracking it all. of course, working in for kari through the middle of next week. so we've got you covered on that incoming storm. yeah, she's it's her birthday. birthday. i'm glad she gets some a little bit of sunshine for that. all right sam thanks. it is 21 past the hour. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay. coming up this morning. we're talking about the future of food from the lawrence hall of science, an example of that. cultivated meatballs made fresh for you here this morning. we're talking about it and tasng it on the other side of the

♪ yeah, baby, i like it like that ♪ ♪ you gotta believe me when i tell ya ♪ ♪ i like it like that ♪ ♪ i like it like that, i like it like that ♪ what your breakfast might look like 25 years from now. well, there's a new, innovative and interactive way to think about the food we eat, and you can see it firsthand. our today in the bay ginger conejero saab joins us from the future of food exhibit in berkeley. good momorning kira. we're talking about the future of food here at the lawrence hall of science. a big part of what that will look

like. protein alternatives. take look at this. we have bianca la of mission barns here with us. this is a cultivated meatball. and what's really fascinating about this bianca is mission barns is one of more than a handful of companies right here in the bay area that's really pushing the boundaries of alternatives to protein. that's right. yeah. so we're based in san francisco, and we're making real meat without the animal. so specifically focusing on pork products like meatballs, bacon, sausages, tastes exactly. i do please. and how long has it taken the research, the development of this cultivated meatball? yeah. so we were founded in 2018, and now we have a pilot plant facility where we're producing cultivated meat and turning it into products like the meatball that you're having right now that tastes like it. it looks like it. it has that texture. i'm going to put this aside here while i talk with my mouth full. bianca. but we're also going to be talking about this is something that's actually come to fruition. but

there's there are also other cellular foods here at the exhibit of future of food. these are simulated foods. here i want to give you a look. these are just kind of the possibilities of what food could look like in the future for you. you've got the executive director of the lawrence hall of science, claudia bustos, who's really talking about what this innovation means. we just heard from bianca and how they're working to push the limit with what the future of food looks like. but talk to us about the bigger picture here. absolutely. well, here we're not just talking about food, but also what do the animals eat as well. so here behind me we have an exciting cow. and when cows burp, they release methane into the air, which as we kno contributes to the change in our climate. so here our guests will be able to take some different ideas of cow feed. we've got hay and seaweed, we have corn and we have oats and we have mushroom waste and crispr. so a genetically modified product. but what we can see is when does the cow burp the most? and it is

with traditional feed. so i'm going to go for it and we're going to get some cow burping action. show me how this works out. because this is really it's i love how it's made for families, made for kids to really understand. well, the future of food is all about the various options that we have. so neither of these is better than the other. it's just that we have different options to consider. but we do know that from traditional feed, a cow would produce more methane gas, ultimately landing in more flatulence, which we know is a great way to connect kids through science. anything involving flatulence. my sons would love. so thanks for that idea. the future of food exhibit opens today at the lawrence hall of science in berkeley. admission costs $20. it opens at 10 a.m, and i know two little boys who will be there. 28 past the hour. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay. coming up, the coach of bay fc now under fire. why he's being investigated and how

being investigated and how former fr aom laminate and vinyl to tile and wood, floor & decor has more options for pros... homeowners... and anyone looking for the right look... at the right price. your next beautiful space... is at floor & decor.

we take this live look outside the golden gate bridge with a little bit of cloud cover there. the sunshine making sure to make its presence known. on this final morning of standard time. this time tomorrow will be 8 a.m. we spring forward and welcome daylight saving time.

thank you so much for joining us. it is international women's day as well. i'm kira klapper and our cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. and the sun is shining right behind you. yeah. there's a few little low clouds also hanging around the richmond-san rafael bridge toll plaza, but mostly sunny skies. waking up on this saturday morning, let's take a look at our day planner as you make your way inland. maybe for a hike or visiting any family membe. we are going to get through this cool morning going on into the afternoon upper 60s and sunshine. so grab those sunglasses as you head out the door and enjoy this dry weather while we have it. because yep, you see it right there. we are looking at a couple of systems lining up into next week. i'll give you the timing of that and what we know at this point so far about the next atmospheric river. kara, back to you. all right, cinthia, thanks. we'll see you soon. there are new reports of new drama surrounding elon musk and his so-called department of government efficiency. it all happened at a contentious meeting where the world's richest man apparently clashed

with members of president trump's cabinet. nbc's gabe gutierrez reports. new drama over doge. two people familiar with the exchanges tell nbc news that a closed door cabinet meeting yesterday got contentious, with secretary of state marco rubio and transportation secretary sean duffy pushing back against billionaire elon musk and his depament of government efficiency. some details have come out about your cabinet meeting with elon musk and some clashes, potentially between secretary rubio and secretary duffy. no clash, i was there, you're just a troublemaker, and you're not supposed to be asking that question because we're talking about the world cup. elon gets along great with marco and they're both doing a fantastic job. but the two sources say rubio and duffy did push back on musk, accusing him of firing their employees without any consideration for whether letting them go was a good idea in terms of maintaining quality and critical staff. president trump placed new limits on musk's downsizing,

saying cabinet secretaries will now be in charge using a scalpel instead of a hatchet. i don't want to see a big cut where a lot of good people are cut. musk recently huddled with congressional republicans. we're making good progress. many supporting his mission to slash the federalureaucracy. i think elon musk is a rock star. the tofu crowd is mad. but you know, when you trim, fat, pigs squeal. that's just the way the world works. the trump administration is also responding to recent campus confrontations over gaza, canceling about $400 million in federal grants to columbia university over what it says is the school's continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of jewish students. jewish student eaton jagger says she's feared for her safety. i have been screamed at on campus. i have friends that have been physically assaulted on and around campus for being jewish. a spokesperson for the university says it'ss committed to combating anti-semitismsm and

ensuring the safety of its students. that was gabe gutierrez reporting for us. president trump appears to be rethinking his rocky relationship with ukraine. meanwhile, on truth social yesterday, the president wrote that he is considering, quote, large scale sanctions on russia. the reason to pressure the country into a cease fire and peace deal with ukraine. this, of course, comes weeks after distancing the u.s. from ukraine. and then there were those tense moments in the oval office. you just saw between the vice president and president trump against ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky, president trump threatening banking sanctions now and tariffs on russia. trump also saying relations with russia were, quote, doing well and he found it more difficult to deal with ukraine. new this morning and while you were sleeping, south korea's impeached president was released from prison after a court canceled his arrest warrant. president yoon suk yeol was arrested in

january over his decision in december to declare martial law. you may remember, and that caused political chaos and protests against him. he remains suspended from his duties and still faces insurrection charges. also new overnight, three gunmen opened fire inside a pub in toronto, injuring 12 people. police there say one of the gunmen had what appeared to be an assault rifle. two others had handguns. police say the men walked in and fired indiscriminately at people inside the pub. investigators who saw video of the shooting recorded on the bar security cameras, said it was horrifying to watch. there have been no arrests. police say they have not determined a motive. we are told the 12 people who are injured are expected to survive. back here in california, another university is being hit by budget cuts. cal poly san luis

obispo becomes the third csu campus to cut athletic programs. the school announced it is eliminating its swim and dive teams. cal poly's president points to budget cuts and a proposed settlement with the ncaa, which would result in a loss of at least $450,000 per year for athletic programs. it's the third school to make such cuts in recent weeks. on thursday, as we reported, san francisco state announced three of its sports teams will be eliminated, citing that ongoing budget shortfall. and in january, as we reported, sonoma state made the decision to cut its entire sports program. now to a new controversy. one week before the season begins for the bay fc soccer club, the san francisco chronicle is reporting former players and staff of the club accused the head coach, albertin montoya, of creating a toxic culture. the report says the complaints relate to the

team's inaugural season, which was last year. the team says the third party investigation into one such complaint found no evidence of misconduct. but bay fc does say after mid-season league surveys came out, the team enhanced executive coaching programs and improved team communications. the chronicle reports a new inquiry is now underway on a second complaint regarding alleged bullying. it's a distraction. i understand sometimes things like this have to happen, but i think the timing is frustrating for us. but yeah, a distraction for sure. albertine is very much a player's coach. he's going to be there for you. he loves soccer and is so passionate about it. bay fc had an incredible inaugural season for the bay area. the second season in the women's national soccer league begins next saturday in utah.

the stigma, the lack of information and in many cases, shame or guilt make many mothers not want to talk about postpartum depression. but it's a struggle which keeps affecting morend more women, according to new research. miriam villarreal, from our sister station telemundo 48, explores the impact for latinas. it's a silent battle that many women go through. data shows that postpartum depression cases are on the rise, especially in the latin community. this is a report done in collaboration with usc annenberg center for health journalism. her daughter, sweet voice, draws an instant smile on stephanie's face, a joy that came after a process of mixed emotions after becoming a mother, and she compares her feelings that went from light to darkness, like something out of a movie. like it's one of those movies that everything feels like it's great, like sadness matched with anxiety, matched with nervousness, feelings that she didn't recognize and thought were the so-called baby blues,

which affects 75% of new mothers and begin as soon as the first day after giving birth, something that could be anticipated but not extended. you can have those feelings of being overwhelmed, sadness, lack of joy. but if that lasts for more than two weeks, that we call it the baby blues. you really want to understand that you might be facing postpartum depression. doctor bianco explains that cases of postpartum depression in latinas are on the rise. research reflects an increase of more than double between 2010 and 2021. in fact, another study shows that 40% of latinas experience a mental health disorder after birth, such as depression, compared to white mothers, attributed in part to the socioeconomic and immigration status. which is why doctor bianco says it's important to not miss your postpartum appointments. it's screening the first intake, your first visit with your obstetrician, and at the six weeks postpartum. however, when stephanie went to hers, she says she didn't relate to any of the listed symptoms. time went by

feeling unwell and not knowing who to tell. the mental health stigma in the latino community makes many of them stay silent, and an extra factor. transculturation maybe, perhaps coming from another country, maybe not having the same amount of people supporting you. according to experts, the language barrier migrating to another country andot having a support circle are other factors that may contribute to latinas developing postpartum depression. and the next part of this report, we will navigate through help we found in our region. back to you. very important report. and we'll have that second part tomorrow. thank you. miriam, it is almost 741 on your saturday morning. still to come on today in the bay. it's international women's day and the warriors are celebrating women in charge. the all female courtside experience happening this weekend. we speak with one of the women set to take part af

a camera with a little bit of fog right there through the north bay. i also looked at it through parts of the peninsula coastline, but then you get into our inland valleys and down here into the south bay. bright sunshine as we get our weekend started. so here's what you can expect. hour by hour will mix out of those cool temperatures and patchy fog going on into lunchtime. looking good for brunch or any other plans you have with friends and family members. we get some 60s in the

mix and carrying it into the afternoon, we have a spot that could make it into the low 70s. south san jose there we go. 71 degrees. will watch that, see if it verifies to those upper 60s and concord low 60s from san mateo up into the city, as well as up there in san rafael. that sunset at 610 will not be the same as we go on into tomorrow. remember to set those clocks forward. and speaking of forward, let's talk about what we can expect going into next week after this dry and mild weekend. there is a system offshore that we're going to be watching monday, seeing how close it gets to bring us maybe some light showers and cloudy skies. tuesday is our in between day before we get ready for our next storm system here. depending on how fast it intensifies will depend on how much rain we get and also those winds picking up so the weather is dry right now. if you want to enjoy today, tomorrow, make it your errands day to get ready for our next rain right here. it will still be soggy there as we carry it on into thursday and possibly even friday, as those

details are starting to come together now. this is a long term outlook. once we get about 48 hours from this, we could get into some better pictures of to 2in right now. models about 1 pointing towards the santa cruz mountains. of course, the coastal ranges up there in sonoma county, while the rest of us could see about maybe half an inch to an inch with this system. the weekend up there in tahoe bluebird skies. absolutely fabulous. but then watch this. taking it into the middle of the week about maybe 1 to 2ft of some fresh snow, calling it a miracle. march up there as we get things going. after a dry january start and a little bit of a sluggish there. february to san francisco and along the peninsula. enjoy your day. any kind of kid sports, going on, birthday parties, outdoors, anything you got? we are looking at a gorgeous weekend with things changing as we go on into the middle part of the week, going from 60s to upper 50s, cool and rainy. our inland valley, 60s and 70s will transition to a wet and windy wednesday, with temperatures coming back down about 10 to 15

degrees. all right, we're everywhere. wet and windy. wednesday. all right. cinthia, thanks. 46 past the hour. coming up on today in the bay. the madness is beginning. the west coast conference tournament is underway. and that means three bay area universities are trying to earn an automatic bid into the ncaa tournament. we catch up the ncaa tournament. we catch up with the schools looking to take ♪♪ ♪♪ dreams begin here. welcome to the goodnight club.

i guess what i'm looking for from you is, i mean, i know how the fire affected me, and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care
