7:16 am
waking up to a cover of the marine layer and the low-level stratosphere. you saw the sun from treasure island. tri valley, that's you. most of the inland valleys, south bay, east bay, we're all looking at an interesting setup. when you look at the bay area in, and northern california as a whole, using the high resolution satellite, it is a fogust morning. the clouds have taken in much of the entire bay area. napa county, sonoma county, you've got it. then there is the strip of opening there. the clear patch there aligns perfectly with the spine of the hills, like skyline boulevard. a little onshore flow comes in over the peninsula, does a little bit of a wave in the sp atmosphere, and you get a downslope on the downwind side. there is this sliver of sunshine. it looks unique, and it is kind of a unique scenario. it won't stay this way all day, obviously. all the majority of the stuff will melt back to the coast, and it'll be sunshine for just about
7:17 am
everybody today. since we are going to have 75,000 people at outside lands, it'll be another day in the mid 60s. it'll likely be a repeat of yesterday. we should get good sun. the marine layer looks like it melts back to the beaches and even clears at the beaches for a time today. plan for the breeze to pick up in the late afternoon and early evening, as the onshore flow returns. you'll get a breeze out there, and the clouds will built in again. if you have more sunshine than anything else for your part of the bay, which we pretty much all do, we're still going to stay relatively cool on the day time highs. the center of high pressure has weakened a bit, and we'll be in the low to mid 80s for many of the warmest spots today. topping out at 84 in livermore, concord. 78, santa rosa. san jose, 82. it'll range from the low to upper 70s along the bay shoreline. that pattern will stay locked in for the next four to five days.
7:18 am
there is an important, driving feature right now that's keeping this weather, if you like it cool, really nice. you wouldn't see it on the regular satellite if i put the water vapor in, you can see the spin. counterclockwise area of pressure is saving us from feeling the influence of the dominant ridge of high pressure off to our east that would love to start warming us up. you can see it there when we look at the atmosphere on the pressure field. watch what happens the next few days. by the time we get to the middle of next week, it gives up a little territory. center of the high starts to build our way a little bit. wednesday to thursday, you're going to see that in the seven day. wednesday and thursday, we'll warm back up to average. then we're going to start to cool down again as another trough moves in. we've really had, if you like it relatively cool, a wonderful summer so far. we'll keep it going for the next four days. it'll be great at stern grove today -- or tomorrow. if we're going to get sunshine for outside lands, we should have some for stern grove, as well. it's worked out wonderful this
7:19 am
entire last several days. the seven-day forecast shows we'll be relatively cool until wednesday. there's the warmup. san jose, you'll go to the mid 80s. when we look at the microclimates, that means low 90s for the inland east bay and north bay valleys. not oppressive heat, but we warm back to average for this time of year. all right. max, back to you. the 49ers have showed some fight to begin camp. literally. next in sports, kyle shanahan explains why he doesn't entirely hate the early scuffles. plus, bay area native will zalatoris looked like his week of golf was over. then the eagles started flying to give him a chance at the weekend. that and much more straight ahead.

7:22 am
nearly two weeks under way, and the intensity is not lacking. the 49ers had to stop practice twice earlier this week due to scuffles breaking out amongst players. most notably, a fight broke out tuesday between veteran linebacker fred warner and wide receiver brandon aiyuk. the confrontation reportedly began after a late hit by warner or receiver marcus johnson. it is a catch-22 for 49ers head coach kyle shanahan. yes, he's happy with the competitiveness, but there needs to be a line. >> i love the intensity of it, but i don't think you have to fight to be intense. scuffles are scuffles, but then they lead to other stuff. i think most people probably voted on who was the most physical team on tape last year, i think we'd win most of that. we didn't get in one fight last year. i don't think that totally pertains to toughness. >> the 49ers have reportedly signed wide receiver willie snead. interesting pickup here. snead got off to a great start in his career and has 16

live from the cbs bay area studios, this is kpix 5 news. >> welcome back. the time is 6:29 on saturday 7:29 this morning. thanks for joining us. i'm max darrow. let's start with the check of the weather with first alert meteorologist darren peck. good morning. >> good saturday morning to you, max. we're looking at a day that starts gray for just about everybody, with an interesting exception. it's a little sliver of an opening in the clouds over the immediate bay. even if it is blue here, it is a grayout over the tri valley. interesting scenario on that. we'll look at that coming up later. watch how it melts back. by late morning and early afternoon, you'll have more sunshine than anything else. with that, we'll keep temperatures relatively cool, coming only into the mid 80s for inland locations. 73 for the day time high. in the bay in general, you might
7:29 am
be warmer for some of the east bay shoreline and peninsula locations, maybe upper 70s. i'll show everybody's number in a few minutes. back to you. >> thank you, darren. some areas are getting help with fire season through a bit of rain, but the rain will shift concern from fire to the risk of slides in burn scars like for the caldor fire in el dorado county, for example. here the madison keevy on what is being done to prevent this. >> reporter: 10,000 hazardous trees have been removed from the footprint of the caldor fire. the areas are susceptible to flash flood, mudslides, and debris flows because the ground is weak. this work with the goal to make it safer. the sounds of progress along highway 50 in the burn scarred areas where the caldor fire tore through nearly a year ago. the work is a key step to prevent more damage, like mudslides or debris flows caused by another weather event.
7:30 am
>> culverts, over 30 culverts on one project had to be replaced. similar on the other. erosion control, rock stabilization work, catch basins, paving, sign damage. it was really extensive all the way through on both projects. the corridor was damaged in just about every area you can think of. >> reporter: the what ifs after a fire in areas left scarred played out in real time for alpine county this week. along highway 89 near marklyville, road was closed because it was washed out. areas impacted by the cal dor fire, a different story for now. >> part of the difficulty with the emergency contract is you don't have things planned and designed. you'll go into it and find things you didn't know were there. you know, there might be another 100, 200 trees we didn't assess on first go-around. we're like, okay, we have to do
7:31 am
something about this. >> reporter: progress has been made in el dorado county. in steeper areas, new growth and vegetation, which is critical to prevent mudslides. the u.s. senate may vote today on a spending package backed by president biden. it's geared toward addressing climate change, health care costs and inflation. all 50 democrats in the evenly divided senate signalled support for the $740 billion bill. that means the bill can likely pass without any republican support. it'd invest nearly $370 billion in energy and climate programs. a robust jobs report points to a resilient u.s. economy despite widespread concern about inflation. employers added 528,000 jobs in july across the country. the nation has regained all 22 million jobs that were lost early on in the pandemic. wages increased by more than 5% last month but did not keep pace with inflation. that means many workers are
7:32 am
making more money but are still losing spending power over time. >> a lot of people are using their savings that were built up during the pandemic to supplement their income. now, others are borrowing to fund that gap. >> the leisure and hospitality industry saw some of the biggest gains. as kpix's len ramirez shows us, there's no question, there is a sign of a rebound in the south bay. >> reporter: you can often tell a lot of what is happening with the local economy just by looking at the sidewalks, especially those in front of the convention center or hotels. right now, those sidewalks are pretty full. the cute costumes and colorful people of the expo have returned to san jose after more than a two-year absence. >> incredible coming back to conventions. i've certainly missed it with all of the covid and everything. >> reporter: for san jose and the tens of thousands of people whose jobs depend on the leisure and hospitality industry, it's money in the bank. >> the event is as popular as ever, and that also means all
7:33 am
our hotels city wide are selling out for these convention-goers, who are here from all across the country. >> reporter: the travel industry was hit hard by the pandemic, but hotel pools and lobbies are filling up again. >> we're starting to see that growth, and we're very encouraged to see what's happening in san jose as far as business travel. here in santana row, great leisure travel. >> reporter: staffing levels are still down 15% from pre-pandemic levels, but it's growing thanks to families like this. the rutlands from new mexico are having their first out of state vacation in years. they're visiting san jose, santa cruz, and san francisco. >> being able to support all the local businesses and places we, you know, got to know and enjoy, it's nice. >> reporter: travelers are experiencing higher prices for rooms, food, and transportation, but it is a price it seems many are now willing to make together. >> yeah, the bustling atmosphere

court and wins in life. >> go out there and know you're going to kill this test. i'm going to pass this test. that, you know, i'm begigoing tt this job. >> 11 more. >> reporter: we all know what it is like to question ourselves when brought to the line to shoot our own shots. woodard teaches those are not the moments where we win. >> let's go. count 'em out. >> reporter: the moments we win are when we create spaces to do what we do and learn to do it well. >> if you're passionate about it the way you are, it should be your safe place. you know, whatever you have going on at home, whatever you have going on at school, you should be able to get a ball, put your misice ic music on and up. >> reporter: being soldier and sage in our community -- >> call for the ball. >> reporter: -- lands just right in our kids. >> to know what other people are going through, it can have an impact on you. it was his way of getting through the heartbreak of his mom. >> i've improved as a person to be around these beautiful young men and old er men who teach me life skills and basketball

skills on the court. >> let's go! let's go! let's go! >> such a wonderful story. woodard is a father now, and his little girl looks like his mom maria. everything he does he does for both. he built a better life by helping others do the same. a treasure hunt is back on in san francisco as amateur sleuths dig through city parks looking for something buried 40 years ago. we're talking about "the secret," a book written in 1982 by byron price. it includes a set of mysterious poems and illustrations laying out clues for finding 12 jewels buried in 12 cities across the country. only three of them have been found. the one still hidden somewhere in san francisco had a lot of people looking before the pandemic. then the city stopped issuing dig permits in 2020. now, we may have more treasure hunters than it can handle. kpix's wilson walker is tracking the search.
7:37 am
>> my first dig date was first week of june 2020. i was like, i have to wait six, seven months? >> reporter: when darren hicks applied for a permit to dig up a san francisco city park, he had no idea he'd end up waiting 2 1/2 years, but his wait is over. he's finally probing away. >> could be up to about 3 feet down, possibly. was hoping it'd be about half of that. >> reporter: the spot he has landed on, portsmith square, known as the heart of chinatown. not to get too deep into his solution, it is largely based on some historic context of the park and several very specific visual cues from the illustration. >> then, lo and behold, i turn to the left, and this looks just like her nose. for me, it's pretty much the only logical place to dig. >> reporter: so the digging
7:38 am
begins under the watchful eye of a park ranger. darren, of course, is doing this the right way, while some others are not. what you might call guerrilla hunters have descended on several locations around the city, occasionally ripping through irrigation lines with illegal digging. >> i just want to scoop off the top layer. we'll see what's underneath. make sure we don't hit any lines. >> reporter: as for getting a permit like darren was good enough to do, treasure hunters finding that to be a quest of its own. to pull back the curtain a little bit, remove some of the mystery here, we had to talk to sf rec and parks and someone who would rather keep their identity a secret. >> the other day, i got an inquiry all in french. i don't speak french, so i had to use translate online. >> reporter: the unofficial job of park treasure czar passed through several hands over the years, and given the enthusiasm of treasure searchers, they have found the best practice is to
7:39 am
have a generic treasure email. >> right now, we're backlogged through the end of 2022. >> reporter: all the requests are processed in the order they are received, but the biggest constraint is manpower. the city can only staff two digs per week. >> once people understand that it's not just, you know, two folks but rather hundreds of people across the country, and perhaps the world, looking to find this, then they understand a little bit better that they need to be patient. >> it's solid. we're not going to break through it. >> reporter: back at portsmith square, 2 1/2 years of patience not paying off as hoped. >> if this is the resting spot, it's rested here too long. >> reporter: this dig will end like every one before it, a lot of sweat, a hole in the ground that needs to be patched up, and a sense that something hidden for 40 years may be inches away, or somewhere else entirely. >> at this point, looks like i
7:40 am
won't know. none of us will. >> reporter: we have spent years watching people from all over come dig in all sorts of places based on all kinds of interpretations of the clues. even those who had ground-penetrating radar didn't come up with anything. darren joins some fine company, and the offer still stands. you come up with a permit, we'll try to come watch you dig. if you don't have one yet, the wait list is 80. you, too, will have to be patient. we are here in san francisco. wilson walker, kpix 5. >> fascinating story there. disasters can strike quickly in california, so it is crucial to be ready for anything. after the break, how this week's jefferson award winner is helping people prepare for the
