tonight and heavy rain tomorrow morning. is there much on the kpix 5 hi- def doppler at this hour? no, just a few little cells offshore you can barely see but that will develop into enough rain to dump as much as two inches in total in the north bay and three-quarters inch south of the golden gate. we'll see. a group of san francisco volunteers spent the day preparing for the wet weather and kpix 5's jackie ward shows the whole point of this work is to make sure that all of that hard work does go down the drain. there is something you can do to prevent it from happening. san francisco public utility commission calls them drain heroes and as a thank you, the drain adopters got set up with what they need to continue maintaining a clear storm drain. >> some people have pine needles. some people have litter. some have leaves. >> reporter: and all that stuff leads to clogged drains which causes ponding, puddling and flooding when a rainstorm rolls through. >> we really want people to help us out so we're all doing our part and together, we're going to be ready for the rain. >> reporter: with more than 25,000 storm drains in the city

6:03 pm
reporter: so only 500 of the thousands of drains have been adopted so plenty of of drains in san francisco need some love. jackie ward, kpix 5. it's still early fall but the spillway at lake lagunitas is already flowing. the recent rains are sending a stream of water cascading over the dam to the creek below. marin's lakes and reservoirs received nearly normal rainfall last winter and they are already at 113% capacity to start the fall. we are getting a look at how bad erosion is along the california coast. only on "5," andria borba shows us from fort funston in san francisco. >> reporter: sounds of the pacific surf pounding the coast of california is rhythmic, hit nottic, one of several problems of a problem as constant as the waves, erosion. >> the problem is we don't have good measurements. >> reporter: jonathan is a research geologist with the
6:04 pm
usgs. he has been studying the effects of erosion on the 160- foot cliffs around fort funston. but getting good scientific measurements is tricky. >> it's always been difficult to measure cliffs especially to think about trying to get out there with a survey rod or something. of course, you wouldn't do it. it's too dangerous. >> reporter: that's where the california coastal records project comes in. kenneth and gabrielle adelman have been taking aerial photos of the coastline for years. >> these photos that were made available by kenneth and gabrielle were taken with lots of what we call overlap so they were taken one after another after another. >> reporter: like these two photos taken in 2004 that show the same geographical markers like this landslide here and here. when combined, the usgs can build a 3d model and get erosion measurements they otherwise couldn't. >> you can see how soft the cliff is and that material just falling apart in my hand. >> reporter: there's plenty of
6:05 pm
anecdotal evidence at fort funston of erosion. how much of the cliff eroded here at fort funston? take a look. you see those concrete structures in the sand? they used to be on cliff tops. but now the usgs has actual numbers to match with the scenery. >> measurements like the ones we are getting are critical for understanding both the rates of erosion currently and for projecting to the future. >> reporter: at fort funston, andria borba, kpix 5. >> just a few miles way from that, that coast is sliced and dazed by the san andreas. another piece of the bay bridge eroded today with the help of a demolition crew. anticlimactic, isn't it? 12,000 pounds of explosives blasted away another of the concrete piers that used to support the old deck and truss structure of the eastern span and it will take them about as long to blow it up as it took

where truly every, single pine tree is dead. >> pretty much in here it's almost 100% mortality of the ponderosa pine. >> reporter: back in kern county a forester is trying to keep the dead trees from causing another disaster in the form of an explosive fire and that means homeowners are responsible for bringing those trees down. just as their property values fall right along with them. >> it's a problem getting rid of the trees without going broke doing it. >> reporter: there's an even larger price tag coming for all of us as utility companies and caltrains race to keep dead trees off power lines and roadways. as for the future, even some drought relief might make some problems worse. >> it's coarsing through the water and the landscape. >> reporter: while a healthy rain season would slow the bugs, a normal rainfall season could kick it into high gear. >> it's waiting for those right conditions and it will have explosive growth again.
6:19 pm
>> reporter: it's a statewide catastrophe that's only intensified the debate over how california's forest strategy should evolve but the damage is done for millions of trees and recovery will take decades. >> there will be significant landscape changes. >> reporter: for some the worst is still ahead as california tries to untangle a crisis unfolding across 32 million acres of forest land. >> we keep passing the buck. ha. really, and it gets harder and harder, um to have enough resources to be able to solve the problem. >> reporter: in tuolumne county, wilson walker, kpix 5. >> no rain, drought, bad. rain, bad. you just can't win. so what i think, we just have to deal with what comes and what's coming is a pretty good front moving into the bay area tonight early tomorrow morning and when it rains, it's going to pour with this one but not for a long time. so that's the good news. let's revisit this. that low is going to spread south tonight. and as it does, nothing is showing up in the hi-def doppler right now.
6:20 pm
not of any significance. it's one of those things that will appear like wham on the radar and move through so we get one to two inches in the north bay and three-quarters in the peninsula and half inch in the south bay. santa cruz mountains will get a couple, as well. this approaches, the clouds will increase in coverage overnight. winds will be gusty out of the south too in some places 30 miles per hour. that's the bad news. rain on halloween. we'll see that in the futurecast. here's the robust front as it comes into the north bay in the early-morning hours. into the central bay around 9:00. 10:00 tomorrow. look how fast the front moves? it's out of here by 2 p.m. with a few scattered showers for sunday afternoon. previously, it didn't look like halloween was going to be wet. and this is monday morning. okay? halloween morning 8:00. see the top left hand corner of your screen? here it comes. right in time for trick or treaters around 5:00, 6:00. not a system like we are going
6:21 pm
to see tonight and tomorrow morning. but it's bad timing. we'll have light showers moving through around sunset. ah well. we must deal with this. tuesday afternoon will be clearing up with high pressure. the rest of the week looks dry. watch these colors brighten up. that means that the winds will be picking up especially along the shoreline. half moon bay up to 25 miles an hour. not tremendous gusts. but gets windy as this front comes through and the rain turns to snow up top of the mountains where winter storm warnings are posted for all day tomorrow. 6 to 12 inches are possible. travel delays, as well. boy, that's a pretty sight blue there in the distance right around sunset, too. as we get 66 in concord, 67 in san francisco. san jose 69 degrees. so here's what we are expecting. rain and wind will spread south tonight. it will be especially heavy tomorrow morning. and then it will blow through with lingering showers and then more rain heading in on halloween on monday. but not as much. but still, again, the timing is bad. the way it looks now, anyway. still, tomorrow, boo at the

before the storm. that's what we have tonight. it will be stormy tomorrow after midnight tonight and here's the view high atop the west coast. low pressure will running south. most of the action around this low is confined to being close to the deep central pressure. as it gets closer clouds increase and futurecast bears it out wham tomorrow morning at 8:00 in the north bay and 10 a.m. for the rest of the bay. tomorrow 11 a.m., it's out of here fast leaving lingering showers around and then with clouds and sun on monday morning and we think everything will be beautiful for halloween night -- hate to ruin your day, but it looks like 5 to 7 p.m. a weaker cold front will move through the central bay area bringing showers with it. you know what? this is all 48 hours away and it could change between now and then so let's hope it does because the timing is just bad. afterwards, tuesday, wednesday,
6:47 pm
thursday all looks nice. winter storm warnings are posted in the mountains tomorrow. if you are heading to the hills, expect heavy mountain snow, gusty winds to 60 miles an hour and 6 to 12 inches of snow possible. so to sum it all up, rain, wind, all south tonight. it will be rainy tomorrow morning before noon. and it will be heavy at times that is front passes through. more rain will be heading late on halloween. by right around sunset. and the travel weather forecast shows that for tomorrow, you can't escape it. from redding in the north to fresno in the south it's going to be rain, snow in the mountains and for overnight lows tonight, we'll be in the mid-40s and partly cloudy to cloudy early. and then as the night wears on, midnight in the north bay. rest of the day mid-morning tomorrow. temperatures mid-60s. extended forecast after we have this pretty blustery front come through tomorrow morning, we do begin to clear out later on sunday. we'll be okay early monday. and then right around evening
6:48 pm
on monday does look like some showers. tuesday through saturday, though, we begin to slowly clear it out and by the weekend we'll be back in the 70s. we are off by about a week on all that. bad news there and i know andria is not happy about it. >> but we'll get over it. with the raiders playing the jaguars last week and tampa bay this sunday, they stayed in florida for an extended road trinh. it allowed head coach jack del rio to spends some quality time with his son luke. del rio watching his son play quarterback for the 14th ranked florida gators against georgia. 1st quarter, luke pops a 19- yard touchdown to lewis. the gators take a 7-3 lead here and they win the world's largest outdoor cocktail party, the final was 24-10. now, luke was nine when jack took the jaguars head coaching job and the young del rio played catch often with the jags kicker josh scobee but one time playing catch didn't end so well. >> so he throws it pretty hard. and it lands like 10 yards in front of me. and i didn't throw it that hard
6:49 pm
at him. so my hands were late getting the ball and the ball met my eye before my hands met the ball. black eye, my dad was like what happened to you? oh, ran into a door. scobee was a rookie so he was like don't tell your dad, i'll get cut! i'll get cut! michigan's jim har against michigan state. we all remember the finish between these two teams last night? the spartans right-hand a fumble punt for a touchdown on the final play of the game to shock michigan 27-23. much different outcome this year. the wolverines davione smith scores with under a minute to play in the first half giving second ranked michigan a 24-10 lead and they would win 32-23 improving to 8-0 on the season. heisman front-runner lamar jackson and number five louisville on the ropes against vern glenn's virginia cavaliers. 13 seconds left in the game
6:50 pm
jackson hits smith for the go ahead 29-yard touchdown. louisville holds on to win 32- 25. and improves to 7-1 on the season. not a good day for vern college football-wise. >> busy over there in florida. >> yeah. absolutely. very busy. >> phone calls, too. >> the game on sunday and then come on home. >> all right. thank you. a spooktacular spot is being listed on airbnb for halloween night. it's part of a contest. and the prize? an evening for two inside dracula's transylvania castle. the manor was reserved for royalty until now. for the first time in its 640- year history, bram castle will open its wooden doors to two overnight guests from the public. an airbnb received more than 80,000 entries from around the world for the contest. the winners are from canada. coming up after the break, this golden liquid might hold the secret to staying young. only on "5," why bay area

only on 5: scientists show us how young blood.. could help repair aging brains. a bay area biotech company may be hot on the trail of the fountain of youth. scientists show us how youngblood could help repair aging brains. at blood centers of the pacific, 22-year-old matthew ryan is donating plasma. the pale yellow fluid can help save lives of patients with burns, shock or trauma. it contain the and the boats.
6:54 pm
>> reporter: but now scientists believe this fluid may contain something far more spectacular. think fountain of youth but with a twist. what's flowing through the veins of young people may help restore old aging brains. >> reporter: neuroscientist karoly nikolich. >> the very first reaction i think in all of us was skepticism. >> reporter: nikolich heads up alkahest, a biotech company in san carlos. he says plasma contains thousands of proteins that do different jobs. but when hiscle leagues analyzed plasma samples donated by the young and old alike, they were astonished. >> we have actually now for the first time discovered that there are hundreds of proteins that change with aging. >> reporter: young plasma is awash in special proteins that rejuvenate tissues. but as we age, they are replaced by damaging inflammatory ones. so the scientists did a simple experiment with some very old
6:55 pm
mice. we have sped up the video for time. in a special maze that measures learning and memory, old mice have a tough time remembering how to get out. they are stuck exploring dead ends and marking lots of navigational errors. but when injected with young human plasma, these old mice head directly to the bit without making a mistake. not only that their brains have changed. >> it's pretty dramatic. >> reporter: those green dots, newborn neurons, freshly sprouted in a part of the brain critical for memory and learning. >> we do our treatment, we see a doubling of that. >> reporter: at stanford university, alkahest has now launched the first controlled clinical study of young plasma in humans. it involves 18 people with mild or moderate alzheimer's disease. >> the final results will come at the end of the year. >> reporter: if the trial proves safe, then a second study with more patients and a bigger dose. if the treatment eventually
6:56 pm
proves successful, the hope, by growing healthy new neurons, the brain and a clear itself. >> we are reducing this inflammatory process in the brain. >> reporter: as for matthew ryan, he knows people with alzheimer's and wants to help. >> i think it will be pretty incredible to say ma my plasma or anyone else's plasma, for that mattered, could help them make thereafter a recovery. >> if this treatment works, scientists plan to begin identifying and manufacturing the critical proteins that offer the greatest benefit. >> fascinating stuff. they are starting out with the experiment in stanford with 18 people, i think you said? >> yes. what's fascinating it's in our own backyard. i give credit to our producer who helped on this story. she said what is those mice doing over there? she was on another story. it led to the fascination with the plasma and the research going on. >> it will be nice to see if it pans out. aging people and it's not huge, but it's a step in the right direction. we'll see at the end of the year. >> i hope it does. >> thank you. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com
