care can get a whole lot easier when your medical records, care and coverage are in one place. at kaiser permanente, all of us work together for all that is you. >> announcer: from cbs news bay area, this is the morning recalled and now indicted. oakland's former mayor now

one of four people facing federal charges in an alleged bribery scheme. we look at the accusations and have reactions to the dramatic announcement. >> we hope bringing these charges serves to strengthen bay area residents' confidence in the processes by which our elected city government leaders are held accountable. >> the indictment itself is chock- full of allegations, but it is not chock-full of evidence. tiktok could go dark across the country as soon as tomorrow after the supreme court upheld a government ban on the popular social media app. some people applaud the decision, others are speaking out and that includes a bay area congressman. plus new developments in a fire along the central coast at a lithium battery storage plant that sent potentially toxic smoke into the air in the moss landing area. and it has been so darn dry to kick off this year, and it's a foggy start to our morning but no rain is on the way. at least over the next seven days.

but in the very far- out future, i have some good news, and i'll let you know coming up in just a bit. today is saturday, january 18th. i'm max darrob alongside first alert meteorologist zoe mintz. that was a beautiful shot to start the day. >> gorgeous, and the sunrise this morning is beautiful, above the clouds and the fog, if you're able to view it. >> most of us can't but even just a little bit of that, i got a little taste of the color this morning. >> i'll take the fog because it means moisture and it's been so dry over the past several days, several weeks, in fact, to start off the year. it has basically been nothing, other than, i think, on january 2 or 3, we picked up a little bit of action but other than that, really not all too much to talk about when it comes to precipitation this year. it's been dry. it has been quiet, and early this morning, it is cool. we're looking at temperatures in the mid to upper 30s to low 40s, kind of just depending on where you're located. definitely warmer closer to our coastal communities that are dealing with a bit more of that on- shore flow, and we're

also going to be seeing those temperatures not only warmer than yesterday, because of the fog and the cloud coverage, but also those winds are really calm, and that's the reason that our temperatures are able to get a little bit more comfortable. so, temperatures early this morning, again, with quiet and calm winds, it kind of depends on where you're located but you can see the calmest winds down into the santa clara valley. the calm winds don't allow the fog to be dissipated and allows it to build in thicker and thicker. that's exactly what we're seeing very early this morning. i'll let you know how long the fog is going to stick around and when sunnier skies will return. i'll let you know that coming up in just a bit. back to you. thank you, zoe. bribery, conspiracy, corruption, a political pay-to- play, and prosecutors say the former mayor of oakland was at the center of it all. sheng thao hit with a slew of charges and now finds herself inin hot water. she turned herself into the federal courthouse in oakland on friday. watch.

>> do you have anything to say, comments? >> she was silent at the time. her lawyer adamantly insisting that she's innocent. thao and three other defendants all entered not guilty pleas. thao, her boyfriend, andre jones, and david and andy duong were named in the indictment. the duongs are a father and on pair who run cal waste solutions. the indictment spans a time period before and after thao took office two years ago. oakland voters recalled her two months ago. our wilson walker looked through the indictment and the allegations against thao. he picks up the story from here. >> we are not just up here. i'm not your traditional politician. >> the indictment alleges that the illegal conspiracy began around october 22 before the november 2022 oakland mayoral election. weeks before that election, thao made commitments to take official actions as mayor that

would benefit the duongs. >> reporter: from there, first assistant u.s. attorney patrick robins gave a brief tour of the government's case against the former mayor of oakland. it alleges that sheng thao and her partner, andre jones, offered up city hallhall to two members of the politically influential duong family, david duong and his son, andy. >> examples of promises allegedly made by thao include her agreement to purchase housing units from a company owned by the duong family. her agreement to ensure the extension of a contract for recycling services that the city of oakland had with one of david and andy duong's companies and her agreement to use influence to appoint a high- level city official. >> reporter: in return, prosecutors say the duongs went to work for then- mayoral candidate sheng thao. >> the financing of a negative mailer campaign targeting

thao's political rivals. >> reporter: as we reported last year, those mailers targetingtargeting of thao's opponents, were requested by this man, mario juarez. now, juarez was cofounder of a housing company with andy duong and while he's not named in the indictment, our reporting and court documents show that juarez would be co- coconspirator one and according to the indictment, co- conspirator one texted andy to say, "we may go to jail, but we are $100 million richer," to which andy duong is said to have replied, "money buys everything." and as thao's mayorship unfolded, prosecutors say checks started getting mailed to andre jones, some as large as $35,000. >> providing jones and thao with $95,000 in direct payments, disguised as wages for a no- show job, for jones, with the

promise of additional payments all intended to benefit both thao and jones. >> reporter: today's indictment and the press conference that was held by the government earlier this morning was successful in grabbing headlines. but what it did not do was serve the ends of justice. >> reporter: thao, jones, and the duongs appeared before a judge in oakland where all four entered not guilty pleas and following her arraignment, the former mayor appeared with her attorney, who questioned the timing of this action and the indictment itself. >> the indictment itself is chock-full of allegations. the case is built on allegations from an unknown coconspirator that we believe when the evidence is revealed will show that my client has committed no crimes. >> both andy and david duong issued separate stamtz on friday denying any kind of wrongdoing. thao's political opponents and a former staffer turned whistle- blower all say

they feel vindicated. da lin has been following this pay-to- play allegation for months now. he spoke with thao's former chief of staff who was also one of the first people to ring alarm bells. >> reporter: she risked her career to blow the whistle on her former boss. >> i wouldn't sell out oakland for any amount of money. >> reporter: when she alerted the city council in early 2023 about pay to play allegations involving thao's boyfriend, andre jones, most city leaders ignored her. some thao supporters even called her crazy. >> most of -- i got silence, you know? i sent out a bunch of emails. i made a bunch of calls. it was silence. >> reporter: webb worked for thao in 2022 as the chief of staff when thao was a council member. webb also volunteered on thao's mayoral campaign. she says when she found out about jones' pay to play schemes, she told thao about it.

>> she just told me to ignore andre, make close to $200,000, and that we could set up our families for life. >> reporter: she says she resigned on new year's eve 2022, not long after thao won the mayoral race. she filed a complaint with the public ethics commission. at the time, the commission was already investigating andy duong, reportedly using straw donors to give money to politicians, including thao, to buy influence. webb and federal prosecutors claim duong paid for attack ads targeting ignacio and loren taylor. taylor lost to thao in the mayoral race by less than 700 votes. >> when we talk about a 677- vote margin, those flyers that were funded through this scheme clearly had a direct impact on the outcome of our election. >> reporter: taylor is once again running for mayor in the special election. >> i'm incensed that democracy was stolen from oaklanders.

we installed a mayor who was underqualified and corrupt, putting us on a downward spiral. >> reporter: those who worked to recall thao also feel a sense of vindication. >> we all knew. we all knew. we've been telling you for over a year that sheng thao is corrupt, dishonest, and incompetent. >> reporter: about 60% of oakland voters voted to recall thao in november. >> oakland owes the recall effort an apology or a thank you, depending on which way you voted. now, we know that we have saved oakland a great deal of time, energy, and heartache. imagine this happened today, and she was still our mayor. >> reporter: webb doesn't hold any anger towards her former boss. she says it's time to look forward and fix a broken city. that's why she's also running for mayor in the special election. >> i'm running because i know oakland has such a bright future ahead of us, and they deserve a leader that's going to stand

up for what's right, that's going to serve the people. it's official. tiktok will go dark tomorrow unless there is a last- minute reprieve from the biden administration. more than 170 million americans will lose access to the platform. the supreme court ruled that the app's ties to china posed a national security risk and urged the app's owners to find an american owner. south bay congressman khanna said he's worried about the impact the loss of tiktok could have on thousands of content creators. >> these folks, some of whom were in tears, they were saying, we're not even going to -- sure if we get unemployment. what are we going to do? no one is talking about the real people who are really getting hurt with this ban. >> khanna called the ban tone-deaf and said the lawmakers supporting it are out of touch. sunday marks the final full day of biden's presidency, meaning president-elect donald trump will likely make a decision on tiktok's future. the app's ceo thanked trump

for his support on friday. >> i want to thank president trump for his commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps tiktok available in the united states. this is a strong stand for the first amendment and against arbitrary censorship. >> it is still unclear what trump can or will do, but he's reportedly considering an executive order to suspend tiktok's sale or the law that would ban it for 60 or 90 days. to santa clara county now where matthew muller, the subject of netflix's "american nightmare" series has pleaded guilty to new charges. those charges stem from two more home invasions and sexual assaults in mountain view and palo alto back in 2009. muller is currently serving a 40- year sentence for the kidnapping of denise huskins in vallejo. he faces life in prison. mueller is scheduled to be sentenced on february 21st. the time is 7:12 on this saturday morning. coming up, the fire at a battery plant in moss landing

has some people worried about long- term health effects. their concerns and the company's response plus the search for more than 30 people continues after southern california's devastating wildfires. we'll have the latest on the search and the investigation and new containment levels as well. zoe? well, it is a gorgeous sunrise to kick off this morning. look at those vibrant colors in the sky. and you might notice extra vibrant sun rises and sunsets as there is that moderate air quality. i'll let you know why in just a bit. i'm johnny mosley, and the mountains are calling. the toyota is packed up and ready to go. but before we get out there, let's take a look at what the conditions are like, the toyota tahoe report is ready to go. let's head over to the map. >> well, we're looking at a beautiful weekend, plenty of sunshine if you want to head to the mountains and hit the slopes. but no new fresh powder to report from places

like kirkwood sierra-at-tahoe and heavenly. still very solid base totals, though. that's great news if you do want to head up to the mountains and enjoy some skiing or snowboarding. northern parts of lake tahoe not picking up additional snowfall this weekend or today. we aren't going to see anything extra. diamond peak, mount rose, all solid base totals but the highest numbers heading over to sugar bowl and real. great weekend to head to the mountains. again, i hope you can enjoy yourself, and that was your toyota tahoe report.

welcome back. the time is 7:16 on this saturday morning. here is a live look at downtown san francisco from our camera on treasure island. little bit of a foggy start. we're going to dive into that in just a few moments with first alert meteorologist zoe mintz. evacuation orders were lifted for around 1,200 people in the moss landing area. a stretch of highway 1, however, still shut down on this saturday morning. the plant is one of the world's largest lithium battery storage facilities. the monterrey county sheriff says the epa monitored the air quality and they say there's no public health threat at this time, but they're still asking people who live and work near the power plant to stay inside out of an abundance of caution. >> so, we're just worried in terms of what's what's to happen in the future, because it seems like it's more dangerous this time around because the air is more toxic. >> vistra energy, which owns the moss landing plant, says they have not been able to

get back on site to see exactly what went wrong. the process will take weeks. bringing us a little bit closer to home now, first alert meteorologist zoe mintz joins us live. that beautiful shot of downtown san francisco, you can see the fog has thickened since we first started this broadcast. >> it all has to do with the winds. early, early this morning, there was a bit more of that on- shore flow pushing away the clouds, but the winds have weakened a little bit. >> and the fog settles in. >> allows the fog to settle in. hopefully you're learning a little something. fog acts like a blanket overnight, keeps us slightly warmer than normal but something i to i do have to show you. we are looking at a gorgeous sunrise to kick off the day. you can see that fog in the lowest levels of the atmosphere down into the santa clara valley, but on top of black mountain, you can see that

gorgeous sunrise and the extra colors in the sky are brought to us, unfortunately, by a bit of particulate matter in the air as there's still that blocking area of high pressure that acts like a lid on the atmosphere. everybody that right now is burning wood to keep warm, it's wintertime, all of those wood- burning fireplaces and heaters, they allow smoke to escape into the air and with that high pressure trapping it, it's got nowhere to go. that is why we are looking at moderate air quality throughout the rest of the weekend, and very early next week. so, just something to keep your eyes on, and those winds are going to stay quiet and calm as we are going to be seeing those slightly on- shore, slightly off- shore winds, kind of depending on where you're located but we are in between two systems right now and that's the reason our winds are nice and calm early this morning, and that's the reason that our clouds are going to be able to clear into this afternoon. so, we should be able to see plenty of sunshine throughout most of today. those clouds will continue to clear, and temperatures continuing to warm up, so later today, we'll

be seeing our highs sitting in a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday for at least our more inland locations and down into the santa clara valley. but what's really interesting, that i want everybody to point out, is the colder temperatures over the ocean. you see those areas in blue and darker green, those signify cooler temperatures, and then you notice 50s along our coastal communities, even all the way up into our north bay areas down into the south bay, down near half moon bay, we're all going to be sitting in the 50s while the inland area is sitting in the 60s. that's the impact of our micro-climates, the impact of that on- shore flow versus a more off-shore flow further inland, keeping temperatures warmer, but everybody is going to be seeing those temperatures above normal, at least by a degree or two. other than closer to the coast. again, we're going to be seeing that blocking area of high pressure sitting overhead throughout the day today and into tomorrow as we'll be noticing that low pressure system beginning to depart. the low pressure system is what brought us cloud cover yesterday and it's bringing us the moisture and the fog early

this morning. but the unfortunate thing is another inside slider storm system that's going to set up. that is going to bring us more off-shore winds by the time we step out very early next week. i do have a question mark, though, you notice, after the word "strong" because we don't know exactly how strongstrong going to be, especially down in southern alaska. southern california. fingers crossed it leans towards the weaker end of the event versus the stronger end because we want our winds in southern california to stay as slow and low as possible so we can continue to get containment under way. but either way, here in the bay area, we'll be noticing dry weather, at least for the next seven days. no need to grab an umbrella. long-range models, though, at the end of our 14-day, show a little bit of activity, so maybe something to look forward to, but up until then, we're going to be staying dry for the next seven days. >> thank you, zoe. more of the people who were forced to evacuate during the southern california wildfires will be allowed to go home today. but for many of

them, there is no home to go back to. at least 12,000 structures have been destroyed. governor newsom issued an executive order that stops landlords from evicting tenants who might be sheltering fire survivors. that order is set to expire in early march. crews are still searching for 31 people still reported missing. seven people from the palisades fire area and 24 from the eaton fire. friends and family waiting and hoping for good news. >> it is a horrific tragedy that i don't think we've ever seen before. and it's going to take a long time to sort all of this out and for everyone to process everything. >> search crews are posting flyers for missing people to try and get any kind of information on them. l.a.'s sheriff and police departments say many of the missing people are older. 27 people confirmed dead.

a short time ago, cal fire said containment of the eaton fire has reached 73% and the palisades fire at 43%. a house in the pacific palisades did survive the fire but as you can see right here, it has now split into two because of a landslide. debris from damaged homes and property on the hillside above may have caused this to happen. listen. >> it's safe to say that the infrastructure under thousands of homes have been compromised, and with that can come challenges like this if it's on a steep hillside. landslides will be more of a concern when the rain comes. officials from the u.s. geological survey say the threats of landslides and debris flows in these areas will go orphan for years. ahead in sports, there's no place like home and for the warriors, that's extremely important over the next two weeks. plus the dodgers just landed another major star and the giants' ace pitcher is sick of it.

the baseball off season is almost over. we're less than a month away from the start of spring training and the gap between the giants and dodgers continues to grow. on friday, highly touted japanese pitching prospect roki sasaki announced he was signing with l.a. sasaki throws over 100 miles an hour and joins an already- loaded dodgers roster. and because he's only 23 years old, the defending world series champs will get him on a minor league deal. the giants had interest in sasaki but were told earlier this week he would not be coming to san francisco. right after the sasaki news was announced, giants ace logan webb tweeted a picture from "space jam." it's how we're all feeling right now. the nba starting with saturday's game against the wizards, the warriors will play eight of nine at chase center. it's a chance for golden state to move up.

gary payton ii provided a great start for the did you say. it was peyton's first game back after missing the previous ten. gp2 has dealt with injuries, but when he is outs there, steve kerr says he helps make golden state go. >> we call him the ferrari, you know? i mean, he's an incredible engine, but he's in the shop quite a bit. i hope ferrari's not one of our sponsors. he told me this year that he wanted to be a lamborghini, not a ferrari. >> ferrari, you got to maintenance too much, so i switched to a lambo. >> you can be like a honda civic like i drive. >> i was a honda civic. gary is a lambo. >> honda civics, very reliable. george kittle, enjoying his off- season so far, went viral thursday night after chugging a beer on the jumbotron at the gnash preds game. it happened to time out perfectly with the preds' goal. kittle proven to be a good luck charm in the off season at his home in nashville. that's going to do it for sports. i hope you have a great day.

coming up, president-elect donald trump and inauguration planners decide it's too cold in washington to have a ceremony or parade outside. details on how monday's events are now being moved indoors. and people in war- torn gaza wake up to the news that a ceasefire has been approved by all sides, including israel. what will happen when the first phase takes effect about 18 hours from now. zoe? taking you to the top of the mark here in san francisco. the fog, like we talked about early, is settling in a little bit more as those winds are quieting down. but things are going to be changing soon as off- shore winds pick up early next week. i'll let you know what you can expect. and from the city by the bay to san jose, skyline looks a little bit different but you see that fog. looks about the same. we'll dive more into that with joe when we come back. so, this is amazing. this is a permanent hair

removal medical device, cleared by the fda, for all skin colors, from fair to rich. >> you're talking about the one at the spas that cost thousands of dollars. >> that's right. every single time you go in, it's $100 to $800 per service. this is amazing because this uses two forces of energy. they find the hair follicle, they warm that hair follicle up and once they warm that hair follicle up, guess what? it disables it so it can never grow back. you're going to utilize this one time. there we go. feel that? no pain. >> oh. >> right. no pain. in seven weeks, you use it once a week. men, from the chest down, women from the cheeks down, so, hey, if we got a little spare something, something, and it's going to grab that hair follicle, warm it up and disable it. by the holidays, if you get this now, you are going to see, in seven weeks, 94% less hair, permanent, and then when you need it, you use it for a touch-up. my daughter's already claimed it after i -- when i'm done with

it, she's going to use it. $359. it's $100 savings. by the way, they're throwing in the electric razor and a special piece that you can use for the hard-to- reach places on the body. they're throwing that in as well as a bonus, so you're saving a fortune. >> to get this deal and more, scan the qr code at the top of i guess what i'm looking for from you is, i mean, i know how the fire affected me, and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true.

[joe] that's my commitment. [ambient noise]

"the doctor will see you now." [joe but do they really?nt. do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you. >> announcer: from cbs news bay

" some trump supporters who have traveled to d.c. say they would have braved the cold. >> i would stand in the five-degree weather in order to support of what he's going

to do. >> reporter: the capitol rotunda is ready as a back- up location every four years. the last president to take the oath indoors was ronald reagan, 40 years ago. >> so help me god. >> reporter: the temperature that day was 7 degrees. inside, tv cameras and a few hundred dignitaries will be able to watch the swearing- in in- person, but not the crowds that were expected outdoors on the national mall. >> i was, like, really excited for my kids to witness it. >> reporter: katie, from new york, attended trump's first inauguration and brought her children this time. they had tickets to the ceremony. >> i don't know what's happening. the tickets that we just picked up, the office said that they would let us know any updates. >> reporter: late friday, president-elect trump said some supporters will be able to gather in washington's capital one arena to view the swearing in on screens and the newly inaugurated president trump will then visit in- person for a modified indoor parade. >> the capital one arena

can seat roughly 20,000 people. some 250,000 had tickets to attend the outdoor ceremony on the national mall. former vice president mike pence plans to attend monday's inauguration, though a source says his plans, still a little bit in flux since he's traveling in asia right now. pence did not endorse trump after he dropped out of the presidential race last year. the two men had a falling out over the events of january 6th in 2021. you can watch donald trump's inauguration right here on cbs news bay area. coverage starts at 6:00 a.m. our time monday morning. the irs commissioner will end his term early and resign on monday as president-elect donald trump takes office. the move comes three years before the end of his five- year term. in a message to employees, he said, "this is the best way to support the next administration." trump wants former republican congressman billy long to be the next commissioner. bringing us closer to home now, zoe mintz joins us on

this saturday morning and we are unintentionally twinning. >> matching the fog. >> you beat me to it. >> were you about to? great minds think alike. >> tell us about the fog. what can we expect? >> not going to last for long. that's the good news. this afternoon, soak up some sunshine. if maybe yesterday was a little bit too cloudy for you, today is going to be a good amount sunnier and we'll be seeing, again, that fog clearing later today and that will allow the sunshine to warm us up a degree or two above what we felt yesterday. with sunny skies out there, again, high temperatures are going to be seasonable, if not a degree or two above average, especially for our more inland locations. the places that are not going to be impacted by the sea breeze, because you notice our areas inland are a little bit more yellow in color. that signifies warmer temperatures, but the darker greens and blues that you see closer to the ocean, they are going to be playing an integral role in our micro-climates early this morning and into this afternoon because of that sea breeze. our coastal communities are only going to see high

temperatures in the upper 50s. so, again, it really depends on where you're located, but either way, this afternoon, it is going to be warmer than tomorrow afternoon because tomorrow afternoon, we're expecting the sea breeze that i talked about to pick up even more. so, today, it's going to be quiet, maybe some winds 5 to 10 miles an hour. tomorrow afternoon, though, we might see some breezes upwards of 15 to 20 miles an hour. again, keeping our temperatures a bit cooler. i'll let you know how long the sea breeze will last for when the off-shore winds will pick up and bring drier air. that will be coming up in my full forecast. this morning, in the middle east, people in gaza woke up with the news that the israeli cabinet signed off on a ceasefire agreement. under the deal, hamas will free some hostages, and israel will release prisoners within the first six weeks. the ceasefire set to start at 12:30 a.m. sunday morning, our time, 8:30 in the morning in gaza. cbs's erica brown has more. >> reporter: israel's government has approved the long- awaited ceasefire and hostage

despite the announcement of a ceasefire, israel's military has ramped up bombing since wednesday. gaza's health ministry says approximately 100 people have died since then. israel says it targets militants and it's vowed to destroy hamas. >> when the israeli public sees the condition of the hostages coming home, those who are alive, see how badly they're off, both mentally and physically, it's going to increase the pressure on the government to make sure that every hostage comes home. >> reporter: for now, hospitals across israel are being prepared for the hostages to receive care for extreme trauma. erica brown, cbs news, washington. coming up after the break, as president-elect donald trump prepares to take office on monday, california may be in for a fight over its coastline. >> we will frack, frack, frack, and drill, baby, drill. president biden banned new off- shore drilling but there is still concern about some existing rigs potentially coming back online. we'll tell you more about it when we come back. zoe? well, look at that sunrise

the plan failed due to widespread opposition. it also mobilized a bipartisan effort under panetta to create the monterrey bay national marine sanctuary where oil drilling is forbidden. today, there are five such sanctuaries along the coast. >> thank god we had broad support here in the community. >> reporter: since the santa barbara oil spill in 1969, california has prohibited new off-shore oil and gas drilling in state waters. three miles off the coast in federal waters, president biden just took action to ban any new off-shore drilling. that said -- >> we will frack, frack, frack, and drill, baby, drill. >> reporter: president-elect donald trump has a plan to undo biden's ban. >> it will be done immediately. and we will drill, baby, drill. >> reporter: it's not clear how the president-elect can do this. he might need help from the courts or congress. but as that battle shapes up, another one is already under way.

>> unfortunately, the threat is not over. >> reporter: alex katz is executive director of the environmental defense center in santa barbara. he explained biden's ban does not cover any existing lease, and in federal waters, just north of santa barbara, three off-shore oil platforms just cleared a major hurdle to come back online. >> now, this company's trying to restart these platforms, which would significantly increase fossil fuel production in california, a state that's supposed to be leading the rest of the country on climate change. >> reporter: the platforms are part of what's called the santa inez unit. in 2015, the unit was shut down a of a badly corroded pipeline ruptured and caused the second most damaging oil spill in santa barbara history. >> it killed, you know, countless marine animals, including marine mammals, shut down businesses, shut down beaches, destroyed habitats all up and down the coast of central and southern california.

>> reporter: in 2020, a new company called sable out of texas took over the unit. in a statement, sable says it continues to work closely with state regulatory agencies. it just received a waiver from the state fire marshal regarding its pipeline and says the unit will produce a million barrels of crude oil a month. >> drill, baby, drill. >> reporter: as for trump, he wants to accelerate drilling in federal waters and lands and speed up lease sales, but some environmentalists are counting on regulatory roadblocks. >> this process of itself of opening up new oil-drilling platforms is very lengthy, time-consuming. >> reporter: katie thompson is executive director for save our shores in santa cruz. she says every year, california's coast, the tourism, fishing, and shipping contributes roughly $46 billion to the state's economy. >> when we think about economy, we just need to shift our perspective away from fossil fuels and more forward- thinking, more thinking about the sustainable economy and with a coastal state like california,

that depends on the health of the coasts and the marine life. >> reporter: as california dives into the second presidency of donald trump. first alert meteorologist joe zoe mintz joins us throughout the course of the morning, and we've been showing your live pictures throughout the bay area and it started off like there wasn't that much fog. >> here in san francisco, yes. it's all relative. the micro- climates are in full force early this morning. the sea breezes are picking up, so coastal communities getting the impact from the cooler sea breeze, inland areas going to be a bit warmer today. really, all kind of depending on where you're located but i want to show you that big picture pattern, one of my favorite things to do is to pull up our globe and show you what we are currently looking like from space right now, because we are still seeing that large area of high pressure that is dominating our upper level weather pattern. you can see, basically bringing us a lack of weather over the past several weeks. there is a little bit of

cloud coverage and fog all across the west coast, though, and that's because there is a little low pressure system, a very weak storm system, that is ushering in a bit more moisture. unfortunately, though, it is not going to last long, so enjoy the on- shore flow, enjoy the cooler- ish temperatures while you can, because this afternoon, fog is going to continue to clear, and we're going to be seeing some lovely conditions. fog didn't want to work that time, but it's okay. i'll show you our temperatures, because they'll be warming up this afternoon to seasonable across most of the bay area, maybe a degree or two above average for our inland locations that are going to be sitting in the low 60s, and we're going to be seeing those low 60s down into the santa clara valley as well, but closer to the coast, what you might notice is those 50s beginning to build in and those colors that you see in darker and deeper blue. that's where you actually have those cooler ocean temperatures. and with the sea breeze, we're getting the cooler ocean temperatures, impacting our coastal communities, and again, keeping those temperatures just a bit

cooler this afternoon. and a very similar story is going to set up tomorrow with even stronger on- shore winds. the fog early this morning, it's been beautiful to watch from on top of the mountains where you can see the sunrise and the fog. you can see the change in wind direction that fog beginning to peel back, and we are expecting plenty of sunshine this afternoon. so, yes, it's foggy to kick off the day, but again, above the clouds. it's a gorgeous start to our morning, a very thin layer of fog across most of the bay area that's keeping our temperatures milder, though, early this morning. we're sitting in the mid to upper 40s, maybe even low 50s in san jose. again, high pressure is continuing to dominate. that area of low pressure that i showed you, bringing us the cloud coverage early this morning, is going to slowly depart, and as it does so, another area of low pressure will begin to develop over the central united states. this is called an inside slider storm system, a very similar set-up to what we saw the past couple of weeks that brought us

the on-shore flow and that means for southern california, we do have the potential for off- shore winds. you notice, though, i have the question mark after the word "strong" because we don't know how strong this event is going to be. fingers crossed it stays on the weaker end because we want the calmest winds that we can get. either way, just want to show you what one model is showing us. tomorrow afternoon, no issues when it comes to off- shore winds. it's actually going to be an on- shore flow but the inside slider moving in, picking up the diablo winds monday afternoon for us and late afternoon afternoon evening for southern california. something we'll continue to keep a close eye on but over the next seven days, we are going to see those quiet and dry conditions persisting. at the end of our long- range models, at the end of the 13 to 14- day period, we do see a change, so maybe rain is on the way later this month, but again, quiet conditions, no need to grab an umbrella, just the sunglasses. max, back to you. >> sunglasses, no umbrella. thank you, zoe mintz. still ahead, more than 11,000 computers combining to form the world's fastest supercomputer. a look inside

the groundbreaking research happening right here in the bay area. pete g. writes, "my tween wants a new phone. how do i not break the bank?" we got you, pete. xfinity mobile was designed to save you money and gives you access to wifi speeds up to a gig. so you get high speeds for low prices. better than getting low speeds for high prices. right, bruce? -jealous? yeah, look at that. -honestly. someone get a helmet on this guy. xfinity internet customers, get a free unlimited line for a year when you buy one unlimited line.

welcome back. some news you can use on this saturday morning. livermore is home to the world's fastest supercomputer. officials say it is being used at the forefront of national security, and we got a rare look inside. >> reporter: meet el capitan, the world's fastest and most powerful supercomputer, housed in lawrence livermore national laboratory. pythagorus watson is a team lead for the el capitan advanced technology system. >> when people talk about running on high-performance computers, this is the main

thing. you put two computers in what's known as a blade here, and then you can pack 64 of those into a whole big cabinet here, so that gets you 128 nodes, and then you buy 87 of those racks, and you get to 11,136 individual computers. >> reporter: more than 11,000 individual computers that come together to help lead the way in all types of research, including national security. >> we can simulate climate. we can simulate gene folding, so all the way up through, eventually, the simulation of nuclear weapons. >> reporter: el capitan is in the early access mode, meaning more testing and calculations to eventually process classified information. the $600 million supercomputer will soon run sophisticated calculations that simulate nuclear detonations from the u.s.'s aging stockpile. >> because we stopped doing underground nuclear testing, we

needed to replace that with something, replace that with simulating on these very large computers to be able to understand how they age. >> reporter: livermore's mayor says he's proud of the researchers here that have been leading the way to enhance national security measures. >> it's about ensuring that these -- the weapons that we have, that when we need them, after they have been sitting there for 40 years, are they going to work? >> reporter: as for computing power, at its peak, el capitan can make 2.79 quintillion calculations per second. well, what does that mean? let's say you went back in time 2.79 quintillion seconds. you'd arrive more than 70 billion years before the big bang. >> actually have results that match our real experiments. >> reporter: watson has been at lawrence livermore for 24 years, spending the last eight years dropping el capitan. developing el capitan. >> i really love the fact that this is actually something that really helps the country and

the world, ultimately, in doing this research. >> reporter: doing research based in the bay area, helping protect the nation. >> add some perspective. the el capitan supercomputer is so large, it requires five to nine million gallons of water every single day to help keep it cool. it also uses about 30 megawatts of electricity, about three times the amount of power used by the entire city of livermore. ♪

we are looking at a beautiful week of weather ahead of us, but again, little to know chances of rain. early this morning, it's a little bit foggy, but the fog should be clearing, and we'll be seeing plenty of sunshine this afternoon. the off-shore winds will develop early next week, though, so something to keep your eye on. temperatures warming much drier air arriving, no reason to grab the sunglasses, though. so, something to keep your eye on, max, as we step out over the next seven days. it's just going to be pretty quiet, pretty dry, little to nothing to talk about besides those off-shore winds again. >> we'll take it at this time of the year. finally, this morning, we want to share a heartwarming story from wintery new england. >> yes, a vermont man is making headlines after he rescued a dog from an ice- cold river. his feat was caught on camera and it's obviously going viral. chris mcrichy, the man walking in the icy river, said he and his son were at a dunkin

donuts drive-thru that day. his son happened to look down at the river just behind the store and saw the dog struggling in the water. >> i don't think there was a ton of time left, and just my thought was, either i'm going in to get her, or the alternative's happening. >> chris jumped into the river right away. the dog, named arizona, was very lucky after going missing for more than 24 hours. the dog's owner says they had been separable since she adopted arizona from a shelter back in 2018. the things that we do for our beloved furry companions. >> i would do literally anything for junior. so, i totally understand. >> really wonderful to see that. it's freezing. he could have been risking his life to save that dog's life. >> you would do anything for your dog. you saw people jumping into burning buildings in los angeles to save their dogs. you would do literally anything for your pets. they are part of the family. i'm happy they are safe now. hopefully, they're warm and toasty back at home this

morning. >> i'm sure they are. thank you for doing that, and thank you for watching kpix this morning. don't forget the news continues all day on cbs news bay area. we'll be back here at 6:00 tomorrow morning. have a great saturday.
