only at target. as did he whatever he could to save her. and what was said by air

traffic controllers moments before a deadly midair collision. the latest efforts in san francisco to change the city's image. and a bronco chase in florida that didn't involve a former nfl player. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi. i'm sara donchey. we have spent a lot of time on this show recently talking about the storms we've seen in and for most people they were or have been a nuisance or inconvenience. for others they've been pretty destructive. we've shown you people who have lost their homes and property over the past few days and weeks, but tonight the worst news of all, we're learning two people have died in the north bay because of these storms. andrea nakano has more on that, plus a very close call for a woman who almost drowned inside of her car. >> reporter: sheets of rain and wind gusts have battered the north bay once again tonight.

it's lightened up a little bit, but all of this rain has created dangerous conditions on the roadways. this is body camera footage from marin county deputy mike dawson. >> you in there? where you at, in the back? >> reporter: he arrives on the scene of a car sub merged in a rushing creek. >> if you any you can squeeze through there, i'll help you. >> honestly, i don't know. i've never had to try before. >> reporter: while this woman made it out alive, deputies in sonoma county found two bodies of one man was found wedged in a culvert. another body was found at an intersection where the road was closed due to flooding. >> anytime we have flooding and roadways being consumed by water we tell people turn around. don't drown. >> reporter: in downtown novato the storm forced some businesses to close up shop. >> there was trees down, power lines down. again, i think our

power at the business went out three times today in downtown. >> reporter: jimmy mcalpine lives and owns a business in novato and says this week's storm was unlike what he's experienced in the past. >> i've been here 12 years and more flooding in the streets than i've ever seen ever, for sure. >> reporter: jimmy and his daughter are both ready to see some calmer weather in the near future, but they hope there is at least one good thing to come from these storms. >> i hate winter. i'm ready for summer. >> we're skiers, so tiny glass half full. there will be some good powder up there. >> obviously part of what's so important about your job is because these storms can have very, very serious consequences. it is so sad to hear about the loss of life, obviously destruction, too. are we sort of out of the woods yet when it comes to at least the threatening parts of this? >> it looks like we are. there's still a little shower activity, kind of mist and drizzle, but the overall flooding threat is starting to go by the boards with this particular scenario. let's look

at the replay how this shaped up over the past 12 hours. we'll go back 18 hours to 5:00 this morning when the rain was just starting to move in. the heaviest rain fell this morning in a fairly narrow window of time. that helped limit the overall flood potential with this particular round of rainfall. for most of the day, it was off and on, light to moderate rain showers, inconvenient, making those folks who have been flooded out nervous it might recur, but now the shower activity is pushing farther off to the east and we'll see these few straggling, lingering showers through the rest of tonight and into tomorrow. here's futurecast radar simulation through 1:00 tomorrow morning. again, these are sporadic, very minor showers. they're going to be enough to wet down the roads in a couple spots for the morning commute, but they'll be more miss than hit and won't add up much more on top of what's accumulated. let's look at the numbers for this particular round of rainfall. over the past 24 hours, we've added up quite a bit of rain in the santa cruz mountains, over 2 1/2 inches of

rain for ben lomond, 1 1/2 for san rafael, just over an inch of rain for santa rosa, san francisco just over a 1/2 inch and about a 1/3 of an inch for livermore and san jose. the current sustained winds are in the 15 to 20-mile-an-hour range on the high end. the gusts are a little stronger, but beginning to subside, still a 37-mile-an-hour gust in oakland and a wind advisory continuing for everybody but the north bay until 4:00 tomorrow morning, but the winds are going to be dying down within the next couple hours before that wind advisory does expire in the presunrise hours of friday morning. now we get to enjoy a dry weekend. details on that and a look ahead to the next chance of rain coming up. >> we'll stay prepared. thank you so much. the bay area has a reputation for its diversity and for welcoming immigrants from all over the world and in some cases, for laws that protect undocumented immigrants here. san francisco, for example, is

known around the country as a sanctuary city. it is the first city that comes to mind for a lot of people when they talk about that. it and other cities across the bay area limit police officers from working with i.c.e. because of that status, but now president trump's new attorney general, pam bondi, says she will freeze funds for cities that do that. our kelsi thorud looks at the legal battle coming and what is at stake. >> reporter: former fbi special agent jeffrey harp warns the doj's freeze on funding to sanctuary cities like san francisco could significantly impact local law enforcement. >> those grants are used to buy equipment, to buy things that the law enforcement officers will train, flashlights, boots, shoes, body armor, all that kind of stuff that law enforcement uses to protect our local citizens. >> reporter: on wednesday the trump administration's new

attorney general, pam bondi, issuing a memo to end funding to all sanctuary jurisdictions that refuse to comply with federal immigration laws. special agent harm says that freeze means millions of dollars are now off the table for local agencies, money they use to help solve crimes. >> as of recently, as i believe today or yesterday, san jose actually received bureau of justice assistance funding in the amount of $2.5 million for rape kits that they had -- like over 900 rape kit. so that's just an example from san jose. >> reporter: san francisco has doubled down on its commitment to remain a sanctuary city. mayor lurie alluded to potential legal action to support that stance. >> listen, we're monitoring everything coming out of d.c. we were hit with this about eight years ago. we fought back. we

actually won in the courts and so district attorney -- sorry, city attorney david chiu is working on this as we speak. >> reporter: city attorney chiu's office said they will have more to say in the coming days, but experts like professor brandon phillips at cal state east bay predict a lawsuit is coming. >> lawsuits are most likely going to be the most effective strategy that cities have available to them. there is on the part of cities and especially on the part of the states, we do send this revenue to the federal government through taxes and other mechanisms. so in a sense we are demanding some of the money that we allocate to the federal government continue to be allocated back to us. >> reporter: another potential battle in the courtroom brewing between california and the trump administration. special agent harp hopes cooler heads prevail. >> i think san francisco and the department of justice are going to have to take a step back and think about what's in the best

interest of the community and sometimes that's give and take on both sides. the old saying about everybody has to meet in the middle to make it work, i think this may go there. >> the trump administration is also gearing up to investigate schools for allowing trans women to compete in women's sports, including san jose state university. in response the school's president said in part, "san jose state university is committed to insuring that all of our students, including our student athletes, are treated fairly, free from discrimination and afforded the rights and protections granted under federal and state law." the ncaa also says it will bar transgender women from competing in women's sports next season, falling in line with the president's executive order signed yesterday. san francisco's new mayor is pushing ahead with his promise to try and make the city safer. he's named a so-called hospitality task force that he says will put more police in some high traffic and high profile parts of the city,

including union square and the moscone center. the city has deemed those as hospitality zones, but if that makes you go hey, wait, haven't i been seeing this already? yes. sfpd has been stationing more officers around union square long before daniel lurie even started campaigning. so what is different about this? our wilson walker went to find out. ♪ >> i've been walking around the city. i've been here on a business trip and for the past few days i felt very safe coming down here to do shopping and i think what shocked me, too, was the presence of the police. at first i was scared, but i realized you've got a lot of high end stores here. >> reporter: monett renfro in town from chicago has no complaints about her visit to san francisco. she said the police presence that's now a part of union square gave her extra peace of mind and now

there is more on the way. >> that's why today i am proud to announce the san francisco police department hospitality zone task force. >> reporter: mayor daniel lurie says the new task force will expand on the kind of security that's already been deployed in the city's central tourist zone, only it will be stretched out towards south of market and civic center. that comprises an area covered by three different police districts, so this will be a unified operation and it's already rolling out ahead of lunar new year and the nba all-star weekend. >> it's going to continue after that every single day. the hospitality zone task force will provide residents and visitors with the security they deserve 365 days a year. >> reporter: in making the announcement, the mayor and others acknowledged that this is partly an effort to change minds

at a time when crime is declining. >> but what we know is that it's not enough for us to see the data that crime is dropping. people have to feel safe. that's about your perception. >> reporter: from one visitor's point of view, the perception of san francisco is already changing. >> it's really changed throughout the years. i feel since i visited probably within the last five years, i don't see as many homeless and the drugs in the streets here in the city. so i feel safe. we're learning more about the moments before impact in last week's deadly midair collision in d.c. and for years bronco chase conjures up images of the lapd rolling down a socal freeway. you probably don't immediately think of an actual horse, but this bronco chase had to do with, yup, a horse.

the remains of all 67 people killed in that midair collision last week in d.c. have been recovered. crews have spent several days removing the wreckage from the potomac river. the controller got an alert the plane and helicopter were flying close to one another. the controller asked the helicopter

crew if they had the plane in sight. they said yes. the crew were probably wearing night vision goggles in that helicopter. >> if you're not wearing night vision goggles, you would state typically by policy that you are unaided. they are flying unaided, meaning they would not be having -- they would not have night vision goggles on. that was not on the cvr. also on the hill the senate passed a resolution honoring the memory of those victims. the faa says it will make sure helicopters and planes no longer share the same airspace over the potomac. first alert weather powered by kia. learn more at kia.com. kia, movement that inspires. >> there is, of course, a delicate balance of needing rain, being grateful to see the rain, but then having so much rain that it causes problems. we've already seen those with these last couple of storms. >> yeah. we spent so much of our

rainy season hoping for goldilocks where it's just enough and a long enough break and just enough again, rarely ever works out that way. today was not nearly as impactful as the rain a couple days ago, but it was certainly wet. let's look where things stand on first alert doppler. we have a few showers largely making their way more and more to the east. it's not necessarily dry. mist and drizzle, the droplets falling slowly which makes it harder for the radar to pick up and they tend to be low to the ground. the radar literally shoots over the top of them. under the radar, that's where that phrase come from. we'll see the shower activity become more sparse through tonight. this is the forecast radar simulation through 5:00 a.m. tomorrow with a couple sprinkles and light showers, especially in the north bay, trying to make its way in the city as we approach rush hour tomorrow morning. plan for maybe a few extra minutes out the door. 5:00 to 10:00 tomorrow morning, the last gasp of

showers begins to make its way farther east. there's the possibility of a couple showers the rest of the day. as we go through sunset tomorrow evening, there's maybe a sprinkle left over and that's about it. we start a dry stretch that will carry us into the weekend. in between the lingering showers temperatures will be cool, about 2 to 4 degrees below normal, mostly mid- to upper 50s, bodega bay 54 degrees, not much cooler than the warmest location on the map. one of the other cool spots, half moon bay, also 54, the warmest spot, 59 degrees in san jose. so everybody is within 5 degrees of each other by tomorrow afternoon. in terms of the winds, those are in the process of dying down, but it's still pretty breezy right now. that will not be the case as you head out for work tomorrow morning. let's look at hopefully our hour-by-hour wind gusts. the thing seems to be stuck here. seems to have gone back to rainfall totals, okay. it's always fun when this

happens on live television. these are the current wind gusts -- sustained winds in the 15 to 20-mile-an-hour range. some of the strongest gusts are still over 30 miles an hour. those will continue to subside through tonight and the wind tomorrow will be a normal bay area day in terms of the breeze, not overly blustery. we settle into a calm pattern heading into the weekend. here's the seven-day forecast which includes just the early showers tomorrow, a couple straggling leftover showers and plenty of sunshine over the weekend, a couple degrees below average. then we see a few clouds monday and tuesday. the next chance of rain heads our way wednesday or thursday, does look like wednesday night into thursday as the wettest time frame and potentially the windiest time frame. right now the more reliable forecast models are indicating thursday might bring our next atmospheric river towards us. that's literally the last day of the seven-day forecast, a week from today. there is a lot that can

change between now and then. we'll watch all that, which we now can do, now that we're getting out of this long stretch of unsettled weather. >> we will be ready. thank you, paul. people in san francisco celebrating black history month at the california academy of sciences tonight. the black thursday nightlife event featured live shows, including a street dance performance and music. more than 20 black-owned local businesses were on hand for a marketplace. some people who attended told us what black history month means to them. >> honestly, black history for us is every month. it's all the time. our culture does not sleep. we're here all year. this is the one month when we get to expose ourself and show everybody how amazing we are. >> black history month events are happening all month around the city. tomorrow at city hall the san francisco african american historical and cultural society will host a kickoff event. join us as we honor the achievements, contributions, and the rich legacy of the bay area

black community. watch our special presentation on thursday, february 20th, at 7:30 p.m. right here on kpix. don't miss it! straight ahead in sports, jimmy butler officially new team, new number, and tonight from the bench he could probably see where he could help the warriors start a game and finish one.

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]

these hands are working hands. my hands are the most important tools i have. [joe] that's my commitment. you need to take care of them. that's where o'keeffe's comes in. it's america's #1 selling hand cream for guaranteed relief. if it works for these hands, it'll work for yours. also available in o'keeffe's lip repair. gold bond believes touch says everything. it says... i see you. i feel you. and...i know you. gold bond. get in touch with irresistibly touchable skin.

well, the super bowl is just around the corner, but more important than the game or the ads for some people is the halftime show. it's also only a few days away now and kendrick lamar let people know what to expect, telling them to expect story telling. >> i like to carry on that sense of make people listen, but also see and think a little. this is a true art form. so to represent it on this type of stage, it's like everything that i've worked for and everything that i believe in as far as the culture. >> he's got halftime show experience, after all. he joined the legends of hip-hop lineup three years ago. he'll also be the first solo rap act to headline the show. if i were a drink, i'd be feeling incredibly nervous. >> he'll be great. >> i'm very excited about this personally. we've got to talk about sports and the association,

major things happening in basketball. the warriors obviously are hoping to improve their standing tonight against the arrivals, the lakers. >> i wanted to see how the warriors would respond. there was a big press conference. they come out there and there were so many missed free throws and so many fast break points given up and the lakers, lebron james, took out his superman cape, a lot to get to tonight. let's start with say hello to the warriors new number 10, jimmy butler, got him before the end of the trade deadline, had his physical, flew to l.a., got his jersey, had the press conference today. there's mike dunleavy, guy that made the trade happen. for jimmy buckets, the drama is over. he has not played for a month due to a heat

suspension, so butler is happy to start a new career chapter. >> i know that i have my joy back now. i'm so happy to be playing basketball again, honestly, but for an organization like this one with some hellified talent that we have, i'm glad i get the opportunity to get here and help get us to winning and do something special. i think that's why i'm here and i will do my best to do what everybody wants and that's to win a championship. i mean it. >> then the game. curry munched on his mouthpiece. lebron james ready for a big night. lakers superstar channeled curry's game, the long ball. second quarter, three three's in a one minute span. dubs were cold and trailed by as much as 25 in the first half, but the dubs started chipping away in the second half. moses moody jammed it home, cut the lakers' lead to nine. warriors down ten, seven

minutes to go. curry bucket, foul, golden state now seven. curry scored 19 of his 37 in the fourth. a little over a minute left, l.a. up six, lebron james from deep and we're done. james scored 42 and became the second baller age 40 plus to score 40 plus points in a game. lakers won it 120-112. golden state's record fell to 25-26. will the tide turn saturday in chicago with maybe the new number 10 in the lineup? college men's hoops, st. mary's visiting rival usf on the hilltop, ten straight wins. in the second half boom, carlton lingard ignited, huge dunk, gave usf a three-point lead. one-point game, eight seconds left. two missed free throws, gaels with a chance. we got

mikey lewis for the win and the dons beat st. mary's the first time since 2019, 65-64. the gaels suffered their first loss in west coast conference play. hockey night, macklin celebrini and the sharks hosted vancouver, celebrini's childhood team. canucks led 1-0, 90 seconds left, until they didn't. tied the game and sent it to overtime and in that extra period celebrini was called for hooking here on a breakaway. that gave drew o'connor a chance to win right here and the penalty shot got through. vancouver won it 2-1. celebrini couldn't believe it. san jose now has lost nine of their last ten. cal and stanford women's basketball, we will spare you those highlights. bears losing 70-63 on the road to louisville.

stanford, worse loss in program history at notre dame, lost by 49, 96-47. you know what? the sun will shine saturday, not tomorrow. >> yeah. that's true. vern, thanks so much. just how fast can you run? do you think it's fast enough to outrun a horse? why it didn't work out for one guy. hey, jonny moseley here. the gear is dialed and the toyota is loaded up. let's look at the latest conditions at palisades, tahoe and all your favorite spots. the toyota tahoe report is locked in and ready to roll. >> the same atmospheric river bringing more rain to the bay area today is bringing more snow to the sierra. that will continue tonight and a little bit into friday. you're looking at tomorrow's snowfall forecast, which doesn't look like much, but keep in mind this is on top of what's falling now

and what piled up earlier this week. i know everyone wants to head up to the mountains, but travel on friday is still not a good idea. a winter storm warning remains in effect for the sierra until friday afternoon because travel conditions are going to be treacherous, even impossible. give the road crews time to catch up. head to the mountains early saturday. once you're there the weather looks great this weekend, sunshine with low temperatures in the teens, highs in the 20s and 30s and more snow to the way next week as well. we'll keep you updated on that here

there are no shortage of headlines that begin florida man, but this one includes some real horsepower. >> hey!

get that bad man. get him. you're going to get run over! you're not going to get him. you better stop. >> oh, wow. jacksonville mounted police started their own bronco chase after allegedly seeing a suspect hand off drugs. he tried to run. so the officer and her horse nash ran after him. as predicted, he eventually gave up because outrunning a horse. >> i don't think he was working on cardio to begin with. >> i couldn't imagine seeing this coming at me. >> i love it. she's get him! it's like a police dog, wilbur. >> all right. >> nash working for oats and a rubdown. >> florida >> president trump has announced that he's planning to attend this year's ser
