don't want to use. >> reporter: decades ago farming and other human activity badly damaged the marsh, causing it to sink. this project promises to undo the damage by elevating it with a lot of dirt. >> we've built it up so high where it's only swamped by the highest tide of every year, and that means it will be resilient for tomorrow and face quite a bit of sea level rise. >> reporter: so far the project has moved roughly half a million cubic yards of soil. most of the dirt comes from nearby hillsides where it's scooped up and moved by a fleet of trucks. the caravan to the restoration site where the dirt is dumped. it's a living laboratory. >> we had a clean slate where the soil was moved in. we can learn so much about how marshes are developing. it's really a unique opportunity. >> that is amazing. >> reporter: the project also

2:22 am
at your house? >> we do. >> oh, i knew it! and if i know paul again like i think i do, there's probably some very spicy wings involved in the plans. >> there may or may not be some spicy food involved. i'll actually be at the half moon bay art and pumpkin festival tomorrow. i'll show you that forecast coming up. let's look at the big picture pattern. we have clouds on the way, and even the potential for a little bit of drizzle, which we haven't seen much of to this point. now, as we head through tonight into tomorrow, the thickening clouds will impact visibility of the partial solar eclipse that peaks at 9:19 and a half tomorrow morning. this is pretty much the view you'll get, even if you're that lucky. a faint crescent. the best chance of cracks in the cloud over is inland eastbound in the santa clara valley. if you can get the cracks to appear overhead, be sure to use
2:23 am
eclipse glasses to safely view this one since it won't be a total eclipse. the half moon bay art and pumpkin festival, temperatures not bad. upper 60s saturday and sunday, but it will be a little damp. don't let it dampen your enthusiasm. we'll see just patches of drizzle throughout the first half of the day on saturday. the cloud cover overhead definitely taking a bite out of the amount of electricity that solar panels will generate. the number is basically cut in half saturday, but should be back to normal sunday. a few showers trying to hit the ground in the north bay, but most of that is evaporating on the way down. but no measurable rain recorded by any of the recording sites whether it's north of the golden gate or along the coast throughout the evening. switching over to futurecast. we have the potential for rain to actually hit the ground, especially along the coast of the north bay before the sun comes up tomorrow with the chance drifting further south
2:24 am
mid to late morning. plenty of clouds overhead. that's why we're pessimistic of the chances of seeing the partial eclipse overhead. the clouds stick around most of the day. the drizzle should dry up in the afternoon, but more clouds than sunshine throughout the day limiting how much the temperatures warm up. clearing from south to north sunday allowing temperatures to return to maybe slightly above average for the second half of the weekend. right now calm conditions. temperatures in the low to mid-60s for most of the bay area, but already down to 58 in santa rosa. it's not going to drop much more, but the rest of us end up in the 50s by tomorrow morning which is pretty close to normal for this time of year. not as cool as the past couple of mornings due to the layer of cloud cover just holding some of today's warmth near ground level. tomorrow's highs, where you see more sunshine peeking through, around 80 in the santa clara valley and inland east bay. those temperatures very close to average for this time of year as are the 60s for half
2:25 am
moon bay and san francisco and oakland. below average will be inland with a chance of splash and dash showers, and that limits how much the temperatures warm up. only into the lower half of the 70s. but you'll be in for a warm up through next week. here's the seven-day forecast. drop the map out of the way, and you can see temperatures will reach into the 80s sunday, retreating monday, but then back into the 80s, way into the 80s by the latter half of next week. even close to 90 for the peak of this next warm spell on thursday. temperatures around the bay will also warm up late next week, even up to around 80 in san francisco which is above normal, but it's not the extreme heat we had about a week or so ago. even temperatures along the coast after the drizzle is out of the way tomorrow, you're going to stay in the 60s for awhile. then temperatures warm up with additional sunshine peeking through by wednesday, thursday, and friday. you should return to the low 70s the latter half of next week. >> i know you're happy it's
2:26 am

2:27 am
police in wisconsin said this driver told them he just wanted to go home when he blew through a barricade and sped down the iron man course in madison. thankfully he didn't hit anyone, but he now faces reckless driving charges for endangerment. all right, college football. i feel like coach prime got me interested in college football again. >> you've been telling me you've been watching it. i don't blame you. it's been the best show in college football. the buffs have been derailed the last couple of weeks, so an easy opponent in the struggling stanford cardinal, this was a chance for a major bounce back. but not too fast. the buffaloes got off to a great start against the cardinal. it was 29-0 colorado at half time, but here comes the cardinal taking it 60 yards for the score. cuts the deficit to 29-19. we jump ahead to the final seconds.
2:28 am
stanford driving from the one yard line and into field goal range, they make the field goal forcing overtime. watch this catch in overtime. traps it on the back of colorado star travis hunter's helmet taking it in for his third touchdown of the night. game tied, second ot, drills it 31 yards out. it's the biggest comeback in stanford history. they rally from down 29 to 0. they stun deion and the buffaloes 46 to 43. best game i've seen in awhile. all right, talk about an expensive fashion statement. no, not me. george kittle was fined more than $13,000 for wearing a bleep dallas shirt during sunday's game. kittle says he has no regrets and would do it again. warriors in la facing lebron and the lakers in preseason action. opening

2:30 am
so you know, matt, this is the third of the last four chiefs games that taylor has gone to. her attendance has sparked the tidal waves of tweets and memes about how she launched travis' career, and every time she shows up or leaves, she has a team of security and fans outside. that led to a pretty big question after the very first game she showed up to. how did she get out? >> was taylor swift carted out of the kansas city chief's game in a popcorn machine? >> fans waiting for her to leave after the first game never saw her exit, so they assumed she left in the popcorn cart. and if that sounds crazy to you matt, back in may at one of her concerts there was a broom cart and taylor herself popped out of it. wait for it,
