1:44 am
bring the resources to deal with whatever challenge there might be. >> so a lot of resources being dedicated to this because the district attorney says her office will be keeping watch as well. there will also be ambassadors walking around keeping an eye on the crowds. well, she is perhaps the most famous and successful female college swimming coach, but tonight teri mckeever is unemployed, fired from uc berkeley. dozens of current and former swimmers accused her of abusing and bullying them. charlie walter here in the studio here, he's been following this story for us. charlie, what do we know about this investigation that led to her being fired. >> the investigation lasted eight months with allegations of bullying, harassment, and verbal abuse. today mckeever was fired. the report supported the allegations of more than 40 swimmers. the accusations included verbal abuse, pressuring swimmers to compete while injured, and even being dismisive of eating disorders. mckeever was put on leave last may after being on the job for
1:45 am
nearly 30 years. mckeever won four national championships and in 2012 she became the first woman to coach the u.s. swim team at the olympics. in a statement athletic director jim nolton wrote i strongly believe this is in the best interest of our student athletes, our swimming program, and cal athletics as a whole. the report details numerous violations of policies that prohibit race, national origin, and disability discrimination. the report also raises questions to why it took so long for the school to act, claims about mckeever's behavior have been tracked back to as far as 2010. >> wow, pretty shocking, charlie, thank you for updating us. we appreciate it. still ahead tonight, this hasn't happened in the bay area in almost three years. what we know about a mountain lion attack that sent a child to the hospital tonight. also coming up, she started holding a guitar pick as a little girl and recorded her first cd at only 13. how her family helped put her on the path to a grammy

nomination. after a chilly start this morning, temperatures warmed up to pretty much looks normal for this time of year. upper 50s and low 60s across the bay area. a similar trend tomorrow, another cold start. we're also tracking our next chance of rain headed in. we'll take a look at that in the first alert forecast. >> thank you, paul. and jessica chastain and jay shetti are tonight's guests on the late show with stephen colbert.
1:47 am
1:48 am
1:49 am
a child is in the hospital after being attacked by a mountain lion on the peninsula tonight. this happened along creek road, that's a rural part of redwood city. we actually don't know how badly the child was hurt. there have only been about 20 confirmed mountain lion attacks on humans in california since the 1980s. the last one here in the bay area happened in cupertino in february of 2020. fish and wildlife euthanized a female lion that attacked a 6-year-old grirl in rancho san antonio reserve. tracy police have put out video of the moment they shot a teenager armed with a knife, and we do want to warn you, the video may be difficult to watch. >> put down the knife. put down the knife. put down the knife. put down the knife. >> we stopped the video there, but the body cam video does show the 17-year-old walk toward the officer with the knife in that yellow circle, and that is the
1:50 am
moment when the officer shot him twice. the cops say they were called out after the teen was chasing a family member with a knife. the teen was taken to the hospital and was reportedly now in stable condition. vice president kamala harris will attend the public funeral of tyre nichols in memphis tomorrow. he died three days after being beaten by memphis police after a traffic stop. reverend al sharpton will deliver the eulogy. nichols lived in sacramento before moving to memphis. more than 1,800 flights nationwide were canceled today, and this comes as a brutal ice storm hit parts of the south and central u.s. now, according to flight aware, 27 cancellations at sfo and 104 delays. oakland airport eightgh canceled, 44 delays. san jose, eight flights canceled, 33 delayed. if you are one of the 27 or 8
1:51 am
or 33, it doesn't matter how many others were canceled or delayed, that can be disruptive. this is kind of that time of year we have these storms and in these hubs. dallas can freeze sometimes. >> and they're getting freezing rain with this storm. memphis, nashville, my sister-in-law and her husband are supposed to fly out of nashville to mexico tomorrow. be patient, you are likely going to get delayed. has a cascading effect across the rest of the country. >> it does, yeah. >> our weather is fine in comparison. chilly in the mornings. that's a trend that repeats again tomorrow, but this tranquil weather pattern has another couple of days to run before we start to see changes later this week into the weekend. a chilly start, another mild afternoon tomorrow, the next storm system still way out over the pacific, that is gradually going to get closer over the next 48 hours. let's talk about the cold first. it's getting chiltly out there, current temperatures as we look out over the by a from salesforce tower in concord, oak land, and santa rosa. down to 47 in san francisco.
1:52 am
those temperatures inland dropping down to around freezing by early tomorrow morning, except san jose staying about 5 degrees above. around the bay mid to upper 30s to 40 degrees, same along the coast. then temperatures are going to warm up. we'll start off close to 10 degrees below average but we'll warm up on either side of what's normal this time of year. mid-50s along the coast, upper 50s around the bay with a mix of mostly upper 50s and a few low 60s farther inland. trust shows high clouds tonight, those are real thin and not efficient at all in holding warmth near ground level. that's why temperatures have dropped off already. more substantial clouds beginning to build in. a mix of clouds and sunshine tomorrow. the thicker clouds are going to start to arrive as we head through the day thursday. we stay dry all day on thursday. by the time the sun goes down, the rain is out over the pacific. it's going to be approaching the coast just after midnight and making its way onshore in the pre-sun rise hours of friday morning. the heaviest rain is going to
1:53 am
fall for the north bay along the coast, but the showers will hold together as they cross through the rest of the bay area. everybody likely to pick up some measurable rain out of this system but not enough to cause issues. this is going to be beneficial rain, except for the impact on the morning commute on friday. but the showers largely getting out of here by late morning friday. we'll see the chance for a couple of lingering sprinkles the rest of the day before the next storm system moves in as we head into the weekend. this first one producing 0.1 of an inch on the low end to around 0.5 an inch especially north of the golden gate in the higher elevations. the next system moves in already with a few showers saturday afternoon, more likely saturday evening, saturday night into sunday. that next whaef of rain is going to continue moving in in a couple different waves of showers. 0.25 to 0.5 an inch of rain with that system, beneficial u just not convenient for outdoor plans. including the giants fan fest. that's saturday morning, beginning saturday morning, lasts into the afternoon. mostly cloudy, a chance of showers already by midday. temperatures won't be an issue, mid-50s there, mid to upper 50s
1:54 am
for the chinese new year parade in san francisco. all sorts of stuff happening this weekend. but saturday evening likely to bring us showers, so make sure you have the rain jacket handy and a plan to try to stay dry, because the showers are going to be a factor into about midday on sunday, then we should start to dry out. we'll see that dry pattern taking over by monday and tuesday of next week, but the long-range forecast which takes us beyond the seven-day forecast does indicate the potential for maybe one of these patterns of a shower chance every few days headed our way as we head towards the middle of the month. we'll keep you updated as they head our way, sara? >> we'll keep track of it all. he's been a busy guy last couple weeks. all right, thank you so much, paul. chp in tracy has a problem on their hands. look at this, another driver ignored the road closure signs and has kind of an expensive problem on their hands. drove right through the signs, right through the caution tape into a sinkhole. yep. it was wedged between both sides of the road, not good. well, officers say that the
1:55 am
driver was cited and that this was 100% preventable because the signs, they say, were very, very clear. chp was baffled after somebody else drove this sedan into the same sinkhole, i guess they also ignored the barricades and signs saying road closed. they drove right down into the hole. the man seen in the photos was not the driver. coming up, one member of the 49ers has already moved on to a new team just a few days into the off-season, and despite dealing with injuries, brock purdy and trey lance are already looking ahead to next season's quarterback competition. and still ahead tonight, this looks normal but this is a story we really haven't heard of before. why a high school basketball game is not at all what it seems.
1:56 am
1:57 am
1:58 am
we've been talking about the 49ers quite a lot given the game that we're going to forget about, but they've got a lot going on already. >> yeah, well, when you're successful sometimes teams come in and try to poach your assistants. today defensive coordinator demeco ryans became the third kyle shanahan assistant in the
1:59 am
last three years to leave for a head coaching gig. >> h-town, i'm back, it's great to be home. go texans. >> today ryans was hired as the texans next head coach. ryans played for houston the first six year of his career. the 38-year-old has been with the 49ers since 2017. the last two as defensive coordinator, this season he defense allowed the fewest points and yards per game in the league. today in santa clara, the 49ers said farewell to the 2022 season by cleaning out their lockers. the niners appear to have a quarterback controversy in 2023 between former first round pick trey lance, who's still rehabbing a broken ankle suffered in september, and rock key brock purdy, who's out at least six months with an elbow injury. >> for me to claim or say anything in terms of what's going to happen moving forward, that's out of my control. i'm going to do what i can to get back healthy and be ready
2:00 am
to compete come fall. >> i'm excited to get back out there, excited to compete. golf, the at&t pro-am returns to pebble beach. tom is your defending champ. his shot on 16 was the shot of the tournament last year. he birdied two of the final three holes to beat jordan spieth for his first career tour win. how did he celebrate that moment. >> nothing special, we flew down to phoenix that night, my mom lives there, so we brought them to the front door. my grandma was there as well. and a little bit of late night taco bell as all champions would do. >> and that's how we celebrate great sportscasts a couple cheesy gordita crunches. sara? >> sounds good to me, don't tempt me with a good time, charlie. she got her first guitar at 8, now she's a grammy nominee. what helped one woman grow into a bluegrass star. tonight -- >> take that covid, we beat you.
