highlights recovery and rebuilding, it's not far from areas of union square where there has been trouble. just down the street, which you can see from the windows of the bar, is the area where wide receiver ricky pearsall was shot just two weeks ago. but graham wells says he still thinks the future is bright for union square. he doesn't buy into the doom loop theory that says san francisco is in an economic decline. according to placer.ai, a company that analyzes foot traffic based on cellphone dana, the union square area, foot traffic is down 3% between july of 2024 and july of 2023. it's still down 16% compared to pre-covid times. james malcolm is from london but visits san francisco frequently for work. he says he's noticed the change. >> i've always loved coming to san francisco, and it, you

will be on the minds of san francisco voters and the candidates who are running to be the city's next mayor. with the election now 51 days away, millions are being poured into television and social media ads. and so far the heir to the levi strauss fortune -- he has more than $10 million in cash. he's outspending his opponent business the same margin, and da lin checked in with a few voters to see if all of ha money is going to make a dig difference. >> reporter: with all of its flaws and problems, some say san francisco is still a world class city. >> it's the best city in america. i know there's only so much -- >> reporter: this native san

franciscan remains optimistic about the city. he voted for london breed in the previous mayoral election but says not this time. >> i'm going to say that london breed is bad or evil, it's just time for a change. let's try some new strategies. things can get done a lot faster. >> reporter: this is partly why breed's supporters believe her path to victory will be dependent on new and young voters motivated to turn out by the presidential race. >> we're really targeting, you know, the 150,000, you know, 18 to 35 younger voter that is progressive. >> reporter: chris larson is a business executive and philanthropist based in san francisco. he and former new york city mayor michael bloomberg raised about $2 million for an independent expenditure account to support breed. >> i want to say something to those who traffic in negativity. >> reporter: the group also paid for this 90-second ad that will run on social media sites. >> san francisco is not wearing

the shackles of your negativity any longer. >> reporter: known by many as a modern democrat, the ad portrays breed as a, quote, practical progressive. >> valuing the safety of our seniors from chinatown to the bayview, our immigrant and working families in the tenderloin is progressive. >> reporter: larson says breed deserves another term because she is battle tested and provides the right balance compared to her challengers. >> we're on a track here now for the lowest murder rate since 1985. car break-ins in july were down 70% from the year previous. and that is largely because of london's leadership. >> reporter: but not everyone buys what's being sold. the undecided reagans is leaning towards one of the moderate challengers. he says november is about building a better future for his son. >> the future belongs to hem, to the young ones. you've got to vote or, you know, the future is doomed. >> reporter: breed has wealthy

friends, but her challengers are also spending big money to unseat her. daniel laurie, for example, his such porters raised more than $5 million in a separate political action committee to campaign for him. >> and remember cbs news bay area is your election headquarters for the san francisco mayor's race and all the other races this election year. stay up to date with everything on our website, kpix.com, and streaming on the cbs news app. time for a cool change in the bay area. not only cooler temperature, maybe even some rain on the way. darren peck's got the detail, darren? >> i think you were right to start with cooler, because while there is a chance we ecould get some light rain in the predawn hours of monday -- and we're going to look at that -- it's not going to be that impactful, or you might not even notice it. i think the bigger deal is going to be the fact that it is about to get cooler. like as early as tomorrow. let's visualize what's coming our way from the gulf of alaska first. we'll take the globe and put the temperature profile on here at about 5,000 feet up because

it's a great place to see cold air masses migrating. so bunch of yellow on this map and when you look at that, the yellow showing you where you've got relatively warm air. when you look up in the gulf of alaska, what you're seeing up there is actually a good -- like pool of cool air that is about just start spilling out of the gulf of alaska and come down our way. that's what's going to bring our temperatures down tomorrow. you're in the 90s today. that brings you down to the 70s. it's one of two, because if i play this forward, watch what happens when we advance from there and let that go all the way into the middle of the week. there's another one coming. so that's the first element. it's about to get cooler. but we have much more to look at on that system. i'll show you the rest in just a bit. for now, brian, back to you. >> thanks, darren. other news at this hour, a person was rescued from a fire in san francisco. take a look at this video from citizen app. you can see flames shooting from backyard. it happened on

hanover and gutenburg. firefighters on top of a home's roof after putting out the flames. back to union square, people gathered to remember the two-year anniversary of the nationwide protests in iran that followed the death of masa amini. they honored those who died in the protests and called for an end to the executions they say are still happening today. latest on the christian mccaffrey situation with the 49ers ahead of their game tomorrow against the vikings. but first, she dominated the mats in the olympics and returned home a hero. the gold medal celebration today in walnut creek when we come back.

i came to bayview hunter's point, where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco.

welcome back. gold has been discovered in walnut creek. this gold resides at the home of olympic athlete amit ilor. she brought home the medal for women's wrestling. john ramos has that story. >> reporter: she began her wrestling career here in walnut creek at 4 years old, and now at age 20 she's, she's reached the pinnacle of her sport with an olympic gold medal. and there are those who say she may already be the greatest greatest female wrestler ever. just as she often does to her opponents, amit took the crowd at civic park by surprise as she carried in the olympic

flag. >> it's just i have to pinch myself to believe that here i'm coming here to celebrate winning an olympic gold medal, and you know, representing my hometown. it's surreal. >> reporter: she won the gold medal in paris, becoming the youngest american wrestler, man or woman, to do sdmachlt she was so dominant that no one even scored a point against her in her final three matches. that sounded familiar to her high school coach who never saw a point against her, even though she often had to wrestle male opponents. >> and i personally had not seen her get scored on. i had the best seat in the house. and i've never seen her be scored on. and then to see her in the olympics and to be that dominant was really remarkable. >> reporter: these two wrestled in high school and said her dominance in the final match was obvious to them. >> it was so exciting to see and know how she wrestles, the specifics, know what to look for. it was cool to know ten

seconds in that she was going to win. and she did. >> reporter: she hopes to inspire young girls to dream big, even in male-dominated fields. and she recalled what intrigued her about the sport when she was little. >> this is going to sound weird, but being able to take somebody down. you know, just the -- there's some strange satisfaction about it. when i look at a person, and i'm like, i can take that person down. and as a little girl -- i mean, it might sound kind of simple, but the idea of it sounded so cool. >> reporter: her victory in the olympics has set her up as the person to beat in los angeles in 2028, and she doesn't hesitate to say that's her next goal. perhaps it's just the chance to once again stand on that podium and see her nation's flag raised. >> the second you hear that anthem, it's just impossible. see, i'm getting goose bumps. it's impossible to think about it or remember it without getting chills, without feeling emotional. >> reporter: considering how young she is, it's hard to

imagine how far she will go, but her strength and conditioning coach doesn't stop at calling her the greatest female wrestler. >> i'll take that up a notch. when her career 's done, she'll be in the discussion as the greatest female athlete in any sport. how about that one? >> reporter: that may sound like hype, but who's going to argue with it? especially when you know she could take you down if she wanted to. >> -- was not the only walnut creek native to win olympic gold in paris. sabrina ionescu also won as a member of the women's basketball team. so good news out of there. and changes here, eh? >> i'm going to pick up where i left off. going to pick up first on the cooler temperatures. i kind of showed you the visualization of a -- >> did you say that tomorrow it's going to feel like -- did i hear you right, 20 degrees? >> some spots. livermore was 90 today. 70 tomorrow. >> no kidding. >> i got to focus on the temperatures because of that. that's the main element. we watched the cool visualization in the last

visit, now here are the nitty-gritty details. what's it going to be like for the daytime high tomorrow for your part of the bay? we'll start with that. so there's that 70 for livermore. san jose, you're going down to 72. livermore is the extreme. most places are going to drop 10, 15 degrees. that is still a noticeably cooler day. and it's going to be breezy. let's come off the coast. the winds are going to pick up tomorrow. what you had today was just this subtle, typical onshore breeze. if you were in the city, it was breezy and cool, but these were not the kind of winds today that were strong enough to really deliver the influence of strong onshore winds inland to the rest of us. so let me show you why tomorrow's different. we're going to skip ahead, and instead of looking at today, we're going to switch the visualization to tomorrow afternoon. now you see the difference. couple of things. it's a much stronger onshore flow. look at the colors change through the golden gate. that's about a 20 to 30-mile-an-hour gust. that's enough momentum that breeze is going to keep going inland. that's part of the reason why those numbers going down as low as they are. that's how we're going to get

you down to 70. if you look up here, like 50-mile-an-hour gusts out there off the coast, that shows you that -- this kind of flowing down in that pool of cool air from the north so. those are the two main things you're going to experience. cooler and breezy tomorrow. but there is a third element to this. and it's the one that's probably getting most of the headlines, which is the fact that it is going to get a bit cooler tomorrow so. what we want to do is say good-bye to the daytime highs and instead, it's not the cooler, it's that it could rain. it could rain likely in the predawn hours of monday. like on the tail end of this system. so from like midnight monday going to about noon on monday we're going to use the map to do a visual on the -- what the forecast could look like on that. and we're going to use the futurecast imagery which will show you some of the green returns showing up here through the first half of monday. not a lot to this, light shades of green, tell you it's very light rain. that was very spotty. and it's only for like the first half of monday is and if we put

the rainfall totals on here, this is where i think the real point gets driven home. that's 0.001 of an inch of rain. on a technicality this could be enough rain monday morning that maybe it's enough to say you got 0.001 of an inch of rain. it's done by noon. moist of that will probably even fall in the predawn hours the way it's looking at this point. let's go to the seven-day forecast. we took out the drenching looking conditions from monday's terrarium. i don't think the rain forecast really warrants that. but we certainly talked about the chance for a sprinkle. you're not going to warm up a whole lot. temperatures will stay, for the most part, mid to upper 70s. for bay, the same story. we cool down tomorrow, and we will stay cool until next weekend. okay, andrea, over to you. >> all right, thank you, darren. coming up in sports, the 49ers are in minnesota tonight and they'll be looking for their first road win against the vikings since 1992 tomorrow. and they'll have to do it without a key
