the victims are, seen in the video running for safety. san francisco police have not said if they detained anyone, only that they're stepping up patrols at the mall. supervisors believe the department may be pulling officers from other districts to help since the police district has only seven patrol officers working on any given night. >> we're short 500 officers for a city our size. we need police officers to walk the beat, be on the street, be at shopping centers. we don't have that luxury right now because we have so few police officers. >> reporter: many parents and students have seen the video on social media. they worry about sunt safety on and off campus. >> i kind of got scared like i didn't want to watch the video anymore because of how many people were on one person. i felt horrible for that person. >> i hope the school principals are taking this seriously. and those consequences will have

along the san haw key river are still under evacuation orders due to high water levels caused by storm runoff and snow melt. residents of airport court in haven angers marina and laythrop are connected. putting more communities under water with more rain on the way. the sheriff's office was out all day in the towns, trying to rescue people stranded by the high water. while at the same time having to make preparations for the next round of storms. >> we don't anticipate the water way issues are going to be over any time soon. we still have a heavy snow pack in the mountains that will melt off into our water ways that we have had to be prepared for. so we're really watching the next storm with the atmospheric river coming in. >> and now to our first alert forecast with meteorologist darren peck. we just keep hearing storm,

storm, storm, and another one on the way? >> this one is getting here on tuesday morning. it's going to bring widespread rain, so that san important factor in this system. we're going to look at that in more detail coming up in the complete forecast. but i just want you to see what might be more of an impactful side of this. we'll look at that storm in a slightly different way. the visualization of the winds and the stronger the wind. watch the circulation off the coast. see it? we'll bring this back to noon, tuesday at noon. and at that point, we've got the center of the low right off of the coast. the deeper shade of purple, the stronger the wind. we'll be noticing some of the strongest wince. it's not going to be as bad as the last two storms. this is not going to be a widespread tree blowdown scenario like what we went through last week. but it will be strong enough for likely some trees. we'll go over all the details coming up in just a bit. for now, andria, back to you. >> thanks, darren. in san francisco, the rain

continues to cause problems on the road. the new look at the new issues reported in the last 24 hours. most of the damage was done in the southwest corner of the city. while there is a lot of work to do on the roads, cal trans took part in the state project to clean up california. it's called the clean california day of action at san jose's coyote creek trail. people collected as much trash as they can carry. the state pledged more than a billion dollars to clean up california and educate people about the importance of not littering. the rain didn't stop a food drive at world mission society church in hayward. people were able to drop off canned foods. about 20 volunteers with the church. the goal was to collect over 400 pounds of food for those in need. at last check they brought in

to go all the way, and sometimes it just doesn't end that way, which is very frustrating to deal with. i think alex ducas is the key player. second half huskies up by three, uconn came back the other way. but joey calcaterra drills the three here to make it 46-40. connecticut pulls away to win it 70-55. saint mary's eliminated in the round of 32 for the second straight year. >> last year i wanted to come back. i felt like we had move to give, but didn't pass the second round. that's the madness minute.

still ahead at 11:00, a community saying good-bye to a historic landmark damaged in the winter storms. but first researchers microplastics in

ski resorts across the sierra dug themselves out and reopened this weekend. many resorts will have an extended ski season. heavenly is committed to staying

open until june. palisades says it will remain open at least until the end of may. and donor saying they will stay open as long as there is snow. owners tell us this is needed after years of the pandemic. >> this is our first season in a post covid era where we have four operations back inside. >> we'll open every weekend until we can close. we'll be here until we can. >> we'll be here until the end of the season. >> the sierra is only one inch of snow away from the second snowiest season on record. the winter of 1982 and 1983 is currently the snowiest. but it's not just snow coming down in these storms. scientists are finding tiny particles called microplastic in the newly fallen snow pack. scientists tell john ramos, it's a growing problem across the world. >> reporter: holding hope to the drought, but it might also hold a warning. for the past two years, an

associate professor for the desert research institute, has tested high sierra snow in several locations and found something that shouldn't be there. tiny plastic fibers in the new fallen snow. >> and what we found so far is that some of our sights do have micro plastics in them. we identified nylon and rayon so far. we still to compare them from year to year. >> reporter: it's not the only place where plastics should be out of place. environmental researchers also found microplastic fibers like those in synthetic fabbic ares, in the pristine waters and snow of the arctic region. >> it is a piece of microplastic and a piece of polyester, floating out there, in antarctic waters. we don't know what the catch on fire. and really it shouldn't be occurring. this is a part of a manmade problem that is now gone

global. >> reporter: the tiny fibers showing up in snow and rain is a part of a growing body of evidence that the consequences of man's obsession with plastic are now being c to th most remote corners of the world. >> and the mechanism that these microplastics are also turning up in the high arctic and the antarctic and because they can be transported through the air. >> reporter: dr. lisa erdle has helped study plastic pollution in san francisco bay. and says it appears the problem is only worsening. >> we did a study published last week where we looked at 40 years of micro plastics in the oceans. from 2005, we've seen a rapid rise in this is a similar trend in habitats and live around the world. >> reporter: the evidence is clear, but there are still questions about how much, if at

all, such small fibers may affect man or even living creatures. but dr. arienzo says finding plastics in unlikely places have become so common, researchers now expect to find it. >> we wrote our first proposal to look at them in lake tahoe. and we were told by a lot of people that we wouldn't find any. pretty much on looking, i've found the micro plastics. >> reporter: dealing with something this big and hopeless can be a bit hopeless. but scientists will do a better job of capturing the plastic before it gets into the environment. it wouldn't hurt to simply create less of it. >> all right, we turn it back to more of the storm that's coming in, tuesday. >> tomorrow is a dayoff. >> good. and we'll get dry a little bit? >> yes. we have this gray, damp mistiness for the second half of the day. we deserve a day with blue

skies, no rain in the forecast. that's tomorrow, monday. you can see it show up originally in the sky, but didn't last long with the next storm. that's tuesday. so a couple of things to do with this one. what happened on tuesday morning, widespread rain that gets pulled in the predawn hours. and that will stay with us. for tuesday, it's widespread damp slick roads, and we'll probably get half an inch of rain in that time frame. so yeah, tuesday morning commute is going to be raining. maybe that's a work from home day. as we take a look at the bigger picture, the system sits around there after that. it just continues to bring a chance of scattered on again, off again showers through pretty much wednesday and then it'll be done with an isolated thunderstorm. and it's the wind that will be more interesting, but just be sure to look at the pattern.

look at that circulation. that's the center of the system coming right off the coast as we're going to look at noon on tuesday, right there. we've got the center of the low, pulling the shades of deepish purple in our direction. so this is when the winds will start to become more of a concern. this does not look like it's going to be nearly as strong as the system from a week ago that blew down trees all over the bay area. that had 74 miles an hour gusts. at sfo, this one is not going to do that. but the national weather service within the last few hours aid okay, it's just for the santa cruz mountains with 45 miles an hour gusts and down trees and power outages there. a closed forecast right now. it does not look like it will be a widespread significant tree down situation, but it will be a noticeably breezy to windy day. entases going through the morning and into the afternoon, this storm is really focused much more so in central california. if you look at the rainfall totals, we'll get a total on

wednesday through thursday. this is not -- although there could beondi from eas o rays. we don't have any flood advisories. the national weather service haven't put them out yet. here is where the storm is really focused. it is an atmospheric river, but we're not going to experience that side of it. southern california will. they're the ones who will get the bulk of the rain from this. that's just the rain if you look at the snow. once again, the heaviest amounts of snow are going down to the national park. it will be snow in the mountains. it's a significant storm down there. for us, it's rain, it's wind, it's not a first alert weather day yet, but stay on top of the forecast with us. if anything changes around the forecast, we'll let you know. if it requires a first alert status, we'll have it, likely at some point tomorrow if needed. taking a look at the snow on this, we pick up another two feet of snow in the sierra. that's almost like the run of the mill now for what we've been doing this winter. morning lows tomorrow in the mid to upper 40s.

daytime highs will warm up to the 60s. and in your seven-day forecast, that's the last system. as we get into the end of the week, we're done. once we get towards thursday and friday, no more rain. back to you. >> thank you, darren. the new york district attorney pushing back

the pier has stood for nearly 100 years, but due to storm damage, it will be torn down tomorrow. devin fehely spoke with the park ranger about preserving a part of the pier before its destroyed. >> reporter: structural engineers say the pier was in imminent danger of collapse after recent storms left it buckled, broken, beyond repair. there are a few items left on the pier the park rangers will try to salvage before the rest is torn down. >> people have gravesites, we have a bench. >> reporter: mary mcnulty's family had a bench placed on the pier after her father's death. there's half a dozen of those benches. park rangers say preserving them is priority number one. >> that's definitely a priority before any of the excavators start destroying the pier. we're going to salvage as many of the memorial benches as possible. >> reporter: when we spoke to

her last month, mcnulty said it honored her father's connection to the ocean and in turn their connection to him. she didn't want it to be one more thing lost to wind and waves and weather this year. >> so some time if you're having issues or something, you may go and sit at the bench and talk. >> reporter: park rangers say it could take up to six weeks, but probably less than that. they're inviting the public to come out and.watch, but from a safe distance. >> you'll be able to go and watch. >> reporter: it will stay, but the pier, a landmark on the coast for generations, will be gone for good. >> we're not going to be doing anything to the ship. it will stand in place for a natural habitat that's already been created for marine life. but at this time we do not have

any plans to rebuild the pier itself. still ahead, the san francisco softball league's 50th season got a rain delay this weekend, but t
