>> then a high-speed chase reveals clues. >> it was like the scene out of a movie. >> and a powerful motive. revenge. >> i h f0 from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. now at 11:00, the 49ers super bowl dreams are alive, at least for another week, as they pull off an extremely close win over the green bay packers. and the game might be over, but the celebrations certainly are not. we'll hear from the faithful about tonight's close win. >> it's crazy! and details on the san jose mayor's plan to clear homeless camps on a popular nature

trail. good evening, i'm andrea nakano. well, they sure did not make it easy on themselves, be tut 49ers managed to come back and beat the green bay packers by just a field goal as they await the winner of the bucs game tomorrow. matt is live, and talk about a close game. they managed to snap a streak of losses when the team is trailing by 7 in the fourth quarter. >> reporter: they finally did it. i'm sure at this point all the fun is happening at a 49ers bar, but here at levi stadium, this was the site where it all went down. the niner punched their ticket to the nfc championship game after an ugly, yet insane come from behind victory over the packers. it was all thanks to a couple of late game heroics on both sides of the ball. brock purdy a chance to deliver in the final drive. call him the

postman, because he delivered. final minute, hand off to christian mccaffrey good for one score a game. touchdown from four yards out capping off a 69-yard drive. the 49ers took the lead late. last chance for jordan love and the packers. facing pressure, scrambles, heaves it down field. greenlaw's second interception of the game. 49ers win a thriller in the rain, 24-21. >> when you lose in the nfc championship, you want to snap your fingers and be there again, but you can't. there's so much that has to happen between that last loss and getting back there again. and to finally, finally be back there again, like, you don't take it for granted. you know how hard it is, and you know how much it means to these guys here that have gone through that. so, like, i get emotional thinking about it. like, we're back here and it's time to take care of business.

>> reporter: when a couple of weeks. niners now have to wait. who will they face? the bucs or lions? we find out sunday. we have plenty more coming up in the show, and we have the reaction to the 49ers all thinking the same thing. what a win for the 49ers. they come away 24-21 with the dub. >> this is the reason i don't like bye weeks. it feels like they get a little momentum sucked out of them. we'll see you later in the show, matt, thank you. our da lin was at the game as well, riding the roller coaster of emotion with the fans until the final whistle. >> reporter: wow! this game was way too close for comfort for the fans. it was an emotional roller coaster ride. the up and down performance of the 49ers brought out all the sorts of

fan emotions. from disappointment to pure chaos and jubilation. >> i'm feeling like the baddest niners fan ever! let's go! >> reporter: the 49ers were off to a bad start in the first quarter, failing to score a point. die hard fans screamed and cheered on every defensive stop and every first down in the pouring rain. >> we don't care about a storm! a california storm, at least. >> reporter: the rain never let up. it rained the entire game. but even before kickoff, the rain did not dampen people's confidence. the fans predicted they'd storm the packers off the field and send them packing to end their season. >> we're going to win this game 100%. >> 31-14 right now. >> we're going to dominate them! we're going to shred

them! >> reporter: but some of the loud fans got pretty quiet in the third quarter as the packers led the niners. but not alicia. the life long fan screamed over every play until the end. when christian mccaffrey gave the 49ers the lead with this touchdown in the fourth quarter, there was a lot of excitement. the fans went nuts, and the entire stadium erupt in joy when the 49ers defense ended the game with an interception. >> we stay faithful, baby! >> reporter: right after the win, one fan even booked his plane ticket to las vegas for the super bowl. he showed us his confirmation on the phone. >> 100%! we're going all the way to the super bowl! we're going to bring it to santa clara. >> reporter: as for alicia, she's focused on next week's game. she still has plenty of voice left.

>> i have every voice for my niners! let's go! let's go! >> reporter: a lot of fans say they'll need a couple of days to get their voice back, but they'll be ready to scream next weekend. >> i feel like i'm going to lose my voice just watching alicia in that story! now to the other big story of the night. the rain. here's a time lapse of the rain moving over the stadium earlier today. darren peck is here to tell us about every more rain on the way. darren? >> there's a whole separate storm coming for tomorrow night, andrea, and that's the main one. that coming storm is the reason the national weather service issued a flood watch for the north bay, for the rain that's coming tomorrow night. but we'll take it one storm at a time. this is live right now. i'll bring it back 12 hours to go so you can see how today went. rain started coming on around 3:00. around 5:00, some of the best of the showers came through. it stayed light showers throughout the evening. so there's still light rain pretty much up and down the

bay. it's not heavy downpour, but it's rain, and it will keep doing so for the remainder of the night. here's 2:00 a.m., still going. here we are approaching sunrise, still going. scattered showers. it's not until around 8:00 to 9:00 tomorrow morning when that system finally ends and the next system will get here. i want you to see the difference. going out for the wide view. here's the system tonight that's clearing. here comes the next one. that one gets here tomorrow in the afternoon. another big wall of rain will have bigger totals, stronger wind, and even some thunderstorms. we'll go over this one in a lot more detail coming up in the first alert forecast in a few minutes. >> thank you, darren. faculty at cal state university campuses are poised to go on a week long strike starting this monday. months of negotiations have stalled out over a demand from the faculty's union for a 12% pay increase. school

administrators are offering 5%. the california faculty association released a statement saying the csu keeping its status quo is not working for faculty, students, and staff. they say improving working and learning conditions could benefit the school system in the future. we reached out to the system for a response and have not heard back. the american federation of musicians is the latest entertainment union threatening to go on strike. they plan to begin negotiations with the alliance of motion picture and television producers coming up on monday. that's the same group that the actors and writers struck against last year, and just like those union, the afm wants a better deal on streaming royalties and protections against a.i. the amptp says they look forward to productive negotiations with the union on monday. san jose's mayor matt mahan wants to use existing

money in the city's budget to try to clear more encampments along the guadalupe river trail to preserve public use. here's the details. >> reporter: san jose mayor matt mahan is calling on the city to make the guadalupe river trail a no encampment zone. >> it's hard for us to build public trust to get taxpayers and other government agencies in the state of california to trust us with our limited public dollars if we don't prove that we can keep these areas clear and clean and accessible to the public. >> reporter: last fall, the city spent $2 million of state encampment resolution funds to relocate people living along the trail into interim housing and reclaim the space for public use. but the mayor says to make sure another encampment doesn't sprout up in the area,

the city needs to take pre-emptive action. >> we need to then post a no camping notice and proactively keep these areas clear so we can me methodically work our way through the city and end the era of encampments the right way by offering people places to go. >> reporter: the mayor, with the support of two city council members, is introducing a memo that would divert existing resources to keep the guadalupe river trail clear. supporters of the policy say it would not only keep the trail accessible and safe for the public, but also help revitalize the natural environment along the river. >> i think it's important to realize that it only took a few weeks for our environment to come back, for the park to come back. and having a policy like a no return zone allows the river to regenerate itself so that everyone can come back and

see and experience this wild river we have through our urban core. >> reporter: the mayor says he believes this type of policy is humane and could be used as a template for other cities looking to clear out their own encampments. >> we reached out to both the coalition for the unhoused of silicon valley and the coalition on homelessness for their response to the mayor's proposal, but we have not heard back. still ahead tonight at 11:00, people living in richmond forced to shelter in place today due to a fire with hazardous materials. we have the latest. then, thousands of people marching down market street despite the rain. protesters from both sides of the abortion debate speak out.

not just any whiteboard... ...katie porter's whiteboard is one way she's: [news anchor] ...often seen grilling top executives of banks, big pharma, even top administration officials. katie porter. never taken corporate pac money - never will. leading the fight to ban congressional stock trading. and the only democrat who opposed wasteful “earmarks” that fund politicians' pet projects. katie porter. focused on your challenges - from lowering housing costs to fighting climate change. shake up the senate - with democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. thousands of anti-abortion activists marched down market street in san francisco today

as part of the annual west coast walk for life. the event has been going on in january for the last 20 years, and ordinary careers say they've seen the crowds growing steadily each year. they say the supreme court's decision to overturn roe v. wade two years ago has energized the movement. there were plenty of counterprotesters as well. >> we're growing, and we are fighting back. the future belongs to the pro-life movement. >> very excited to be here because it's, it's just amazing to see all these people grouped together for life. >> san francisco is a pro-choice town. but the reason they come here is to throw it in our faces. faces. >> the walk organizer says the march was even larger before the pandemic and it continues to grow every year since. a shelter in place order was lifted in richmond after a

fire at a building with hazardous material inside. everyone living within six blocks of 1200 pennsylvania avenue were ordered to stay inside and avoid the smoke. still no word on fire or health officials on what exactly the hazardous materials were or what started the fire. but there are no reports of health issues or injuries due to the fire. darren peck is with us tracking the latest storm system that's supposed to roll in tomorrow. >> it will. and we can't come out of first alert status until monday because the storm coming in tomorrow will be here primarily through the night, and that's actually the main rainy one. >> the main event. >> it's bringing more rain and strong wind. we're not done with the first storm though. let me show you what this one is doing. you can see the showers still with us. it will go on like this for the next few hours. if you have rain for your part of the bay, and many places still do, that won't

change a lot. here's 2:30. nothing really changing from now until then. then closer to sunrise, the showers become a little more on again, off again. but they're still not gone. by 9:00, 10:00 in the morning, they'll be turning off from this system. that brings to a close this system. watch what shows up towards the end. that's the next one. that's tomorrow. we'll look at that one in more detail in a second. i want to show you how much rain is still to go tonight from this one. we still have a potential for three quarter of an inch to an inch in far north bay communities. everyone else gets about another quarter inch of rain. if you take the next one and put it on top of the inch we just saw still coming tonight, that's why there's a flood watch coming to want. see the strong plume of clouds getting pointed our way? before we play

this through, i want you see what's driving this. because there's a lot of atmospheric ingredients here. there's going to be a weak atmospheric river with this. see what gets pulled our way and pulled up ever so subtly towards us? this is not a particularly strong atmospheric river, but it is one nonetheless. a weak one, moderate at most. usually those are beneficial for rain unless they're on top of a landscape that's already saturated like the north bay is getting tonight. now we have a big wall of green coming up seemingly out of nowhere. that's because this storm is getting an added bump in its available moisture to work with. if we come back and play that again and time it out, here's what it looks like as it comes on shore tomorrow. the afternoon, 4:00, 5:00, it's going to the north bay. this is a part of the bay that would have just received an inch of rain overnight, and now

the heavy rain is going back up to sonoma county. and you don't have to be in the north bay to experience good rain tomorrow. that gets us 24 hours from now. this is 10:00 tomorrow night. we're really seeing well put together organization in terms of consistent lines of rain coming into the bay at that point. and it doesn't really clear until towards monday at sunrise. then on monday, small chance of an isolated thunderstorm going into monday morning. but the bigger issue is what happens in the sunday evening and overnight time frame from the amount of rain stand point. but because of the preceding condition of the landscape, it's the north bay that the national weather service put the flood watch out for. it doesn't even start until

tomorrow night at 8:00. then it doesn't expire until monday at 10:00. the rain will be long done by monday night at 10:00. they extended the flood watch that far because it will take that long for the water to move through the landscape and the basins to filter through the uncontrolled streams or creeks. in terms of street flooding, that probably comes earlier. that's probably the sunday night time frame. ponding of water on roadways and low lying intersections. it's going to get a bit windy as well, but there are no advisories. but 40 miles per hour gusts are possible in the higher elevations. there's your seven-day forecast. first alert in effect through sunday and monday. as long as we have the flood watch, we'll keep a first alert status to ensure the awareness is elevated on this, and make sure you have all the information over the next 48 hours as this more powerful rain maker moves through. then we'll get a break, thankfully. we could use it tuesday. there's more rain

wednesday, but it doesn't look big. light amounts of rain with that one. matt, out to you. >> reporter: thanks, darren. you're talking about rain, i'm standing in the rain. we're live at levi stadium where the niners wrapped up and defeated the green bay packers, punched their ticket to the nfc championship game. if you have a cardiologist, make an appointment for monday because that was anything but a

>> reporter: hello from levi stadium where the 49ers punched their ticket to their fourth nfc championship game in the last nine seasons. it wasn't easy. green bay was playing like a team with nothing to

lose. it was the first playoff appearance for brock purdy since he injured his elbow in last year's nfc championship game. everything seemed to shake the niners way at this point, so the last thing you want is an injury, but samuel takes a hard hit, injures his shoulder. went to the locker room, and did not return to the game. niners scoreless in the first quarter. second quarter, down 3-0. 49ers get their first spark. purdy, pass to kittle gave the niners their first lead of the game. in the second half, jordan love continued to show off his poise in the playoffs. playoffs. hits melton. christian mccaffrey gets the 39-yard touchdown. the 49ers retake the lead. cmc is

good for one, but a good kick return by green bay game them great field position. love to kraff. they're up 7. now packers possession facing 3rd and long. overthrown. greenlaw's got it. the niners settle for a field goal after that turnover. under 10 to play. what a game from aaron jones. he led all rushers in the game. incredible game for jones. sets up the 41-yard attempt from carlson. it misses wide left, and that's the kind of break the niners needed. purdy with a chance to be the hero. third down. they keep the chains moving. purdy got the niners inside the red zone. scramble good for nine yards. next play, who is he going to

hand it to? who else, christian mccaffrey. he barrels in with the go ahead score, and the niners retake the lead again. needed the packers in field goal range to force ot. heaves it. greenlaw with his second interception of the night. he's got the end zone in his sights. impressive return, but everyone wearing red and gold is screaming go down. niners win 24-21 is advancing to the nfc championship game, but here was the the post-game reaction about the return. >> i think the whole stadium was yelling. they were in the back. goodness, gracious. you know, i was like dude, what are you playing, backyard football? just go down. >> oh, yeah, i heard them. but fred told me i was supposed to get a pick six, so it was kind of his fault. he told me like

man, you're getting a pick six. i >> i turn around and see 57 just running around swimming with the football like this. i'm like oh, heavens. but i went up to him afterward like why didn't you go down? he's like i wanted a pick six like we talked about! >> reporter: you can't blame a man for wanting to get to the end zone.
