outside, yeah. that was cool. >> reporter: did you say anything to him? >> oh, i was like hi, kat. >> we're taking you inside the kickoff of all-star weekend. coming up next is going to be your roasted wagu bone marrow. >> it's a good time to be in business in the bay area, how restaurant owners are cashing in on valentine's day and everything else that's happening. speaking of v day -- >> younger generations are sick of meeting people on dating apps. so we thought why not set up speed dating on a train? >> the new ways people are finding love in 2025. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi. i'm sara donchey. i cannot imagine a weekend with more to do than the one we're heading into. we've got basketball, a parade. tonight is valentine's day at least for another half hour. if you didn't get anything for your honey, you're probably kicked

out already, but i digress. there are thousands and thousands of people here in the bay area right now for all of the events going on. walking around downtown san francisco it just feels different. there are visitors everywhere. there are town cars and sprinter vans lined up outside every hotel. a lot of that action is for, of course, all-star weekend. there are tons of cool things to see around town, including this, a michael jordan-themed drone show that has been lighting up the san francisco bay on and off the last couple of nights right near the bay bridge. lots of people have been posting about this on social media. this other one you can see for miles, the transamerica pyramid. it has a pretty incredible light display going for all-star weekend. it stretches all the way down the side of the building. you can only see a sliver of it there. you can't miss it if you're downtown. probably the largest event today, at least physically speaking, is nba crossover. it opened earlier today at the moscone center. it is

essentially the ultimate nba fan experience. there were courts with different shooting challenges. there was merch. there was a huge draw, some big time nba players. >> a lot of interactive stuff like there's some nba players. we saw karl-anthony towns outside. yeah. that was cool. >> reporter: did you say anything to him? >> oh, i was like hi, kat. hey, kat. >> i was there, too. i got a glimpse of victor wembanyama which is pretty easy to do even though he was surrounded by a ton of people. reporter kelsi thorud and i got to go head to head. stay tuned for that at my expense. there were two big games in the bay tonight, the celebrity game at the oakland arena and rising stars at chase center, which is where andrea nakano was, talking to fans who were so excited to see some of the young stars, but as andrea reports, it definitely came at a

price. >> reporter: fans filled chase center for the first all-star festivities in the bay area in 25 years. >> me and him came back in 2000 when it was at oracle. so it's kind of cool to have it come full circle. >> reporter: basketball has run through the shiner family for generations. it started with adam shiner's grandpa and now it's being passed down to his son maxwell. >> been a warriors fan, see them run tmc play, seen a lot of not so good basketball throughout the years. we believe was like the best and then we get steph and klay and draymond and the rest of the warriors for the last ten years has been special, too. >> reporter: the shiner family has soaked in all of the all-star festivities. >> it's fun to see the city come back to life. >> reporter: the highlight so far has been to watch their favorite player in the rising stars game. >> this is exciting. we love

pods. we're a big pods fan in our family. >> reporter: this experience, though, isn't quite the same for adam. >> i'm not going to lie. i miss oracle. >> reporter: he feels the atmosphere is a little different than it was at oracle. >> there is like a corporate and now oracle was real fans. you know what i mean? it's still fun. we still come to many games, but it's not oracle. >> reporter: and the atmosphere is not the only difference. >> the beer i just had was $20. i was like wow. you could get a 30-pack for that. >> reporter: tickets have come with a big price tag, more than what an average fan can afford. >> planning on coming tomorrow and sunday, but because the tickets were absolutely outrageous to start, but as the days and weeks have gone, they've gotten a lot cheaper. >> reporter: but for this family, they wanted to experience as much of this weekend as they can. it was a fond memory for adam when he went with his dad 25 years ago

and they hope it will be something that sticks with maxwell for years to come. >> special moments, yeah. that's what we live for. >> reporter: just to give you an idea how much it's going to cost you to get into the actual all-star game on sunday, tickets in the upper level are going for about $900. anything closer to the court could cost you more than $10,000. >> it is hard to imagine ticket that expensive in the nose bleeds. one of the big weekend highlights is a match-up tomorrow in oakland. two historically black colleges, tuskegee university and morehouse, the hbcu classic in its fourth year giving athletes a global stage for something bigger than just the game. >> it gives us an opportunity to show what hbcu athletes can really accomplish. they'll find out from the previous three and this one as well that we're just as good as the pwis and some of the bigger schools.

>> the hbcu classic tips off at 2:00 tomorrow at oakland arena. this weekend is huge for businesses, thrive city, soma, moscone center the obvious hotspots. one newer watering hole, the lark bar near union square, is feeling a big boost already. the owner expects sales to spike 100%. he also owns the don club a couple blocks away. that one is a jazz club and it is booked up for private events all weekend thanks to the nba players association. >> there's a massive amount of people that follow along with them and they tend to need some refreshments and luckily, we've got a few spots on their doorstep. >> they're banking on the entourages coming in, too. all-star weekend is expected to have a $350 million economic impact in the bay area across many different industries. not to mention, tonight was already one of the biggest

nights for restaurants all year. it is valentine's day, after all. as our sooji nam explains, you have not booked a spot already for the weekend, you're problem out of luck. >> this is kind of my ode to california. >> reporter: dustin falcon, executive chef at niku steakhouse says the service is all in the details. >> it burns really hot. >> reporter: the restaurant opened on valentine's day six years ago, preparations for one of the busiest nights of the year never stopping. according to opentable, the restaurant reservation platform, this michelin star restaurant is one of the top businesses fully booked for valentine's day weekend. one of the reasons? special events like at their butcher shop next-door. >> on valentine's on friday and saturday we seat eight guests around here and it's a very,

very private experience. we dim the lights and it's just myself, rebecca and then eight guests. >> reporter: it could be the busiest weekend of the year for dustin and his team. between valentine's day, the nba all-star game and chinese new year's celebrations, he's got his hands full. >> coming up next is going to be your roasted wagu bone marrow. >> reporter: make sure the experience lives up to expectations. >> restaurants and diners are definitely feeling the love today on valentine's day. reservations in san francisco are trending 22% higher than last year. >> reporter: amy wei, chief operating officer of opentable, says nearly 75% of san francisco diners plan to try a new restaurant on valentine's day. almost 30% of those surveyed said they will spend more money this year than last year and 56% of diners said they would go on a first date on valentine's day. >> one trend that i find very interesting is of all of the san

francisco diners who are going to celebrate valentine's day, three-quarters of them are looking to do so in a group and i believe that's because over the last couple years this trend is on the rise. valentine's day is no longer just about the romantic dinner for two. it's about celebrating friendship, celebrating with your family. >> reporter: back here at niku steakhouse dustin is excited to serve diners who have been celebrating valentine's day for years or even strangers who may be on their first date. >> the city's had a lot of ups and downs and we're thankful every single day for, one, how busy we are and the fact we get to take care of so many people. >> reporter: just one of the special restaurants surviving the rush on one of the busiest weekends of the year. >> you might have heard her mention the lunar new year celebrations which will bring

thousands of people into the city. so many people are excited to ring in the year of the snake. the biggest and most colorful, the chinese new year parade, 21 floats will move through the streets and you can expect huge crowds. there's also a community street fair with more than 100 vendors along grant avenue. what if finding love was as easy as getting on b.a.r.t.? >> so we thought why not set up speed dating on a train. >> how they tried to help single riders with a special valentine's day trip. this last storm brought quite a bit of rain to the bay area. even the rain-shadowed valleys picked up more than 1 1/2 inches of rain in the shadow of the santa cruz mountains, about 1 2/3 inches in san jose, but now the forecast will be pretty dry for a while. checking a couple meager rain chances coming up in the first alert forecast. when you think all-star

weekend, you're probably expecting all-star moves, but that wasn't really going on when it comes to the 11:00 p.m. team. in case you've been living under a rock, it is valentine's day and you still have 30, 45 minutes to make it a decent one. for those looking for love, many of them are deleting the dating apps and putting down their phones entirely. our kara st. cyr shows us how bay area singles are turning to some pretty interesting strategies to make a connection in the digital age. >> reporter: alice hoffman once wrote that love is like a train. this year in berkeley those words have never rung truer. alicia trust works for b.a.r.t. and is spending valentine's day

organizing a makeshift love train for people over who are trying to find the one. >> no one wants to be alone on valentine's day and younger generations are sick of meeting people on dating apps. so we thought why not set up speed dating on a train? >> reporter: this train will have six cars dedicated to single riders. the event sold out in 12 hours. more than 200 guests are now expected on this journey for love. >> we have extra b.a.r.t. staff who will be on the train and our role is we're going to -- if we see two shy people just not participating, we're going to bring them together. we're going to have conversations with them, get that conversation started, just to help. >> reporter: for b.a.r.t. it's part of an effort to get people riding the trains again, but it also represents a larger push for single people to meet in person. pew research shows more than half of people under 30 are using the apps for romance, but in recent years usage is starting to dip. >> i think the people on them now know they're not having as

good of time as they want to. i know a lot of people that aren't. i think eventually it's going to phase out. >> i typically like to meet people in person more. i do both, but in person i thought i've had a better chance at like a relationship with. >> you're always swiping between people not really giving them the chance who they could be in person. you're just seeing what their profile looks like or just kind of judging someone based on the cover. >> reporter: dating coach and matchmaker susan trombetti says in-person connections work. >> it goes without saying you can judge somebody better in person. >> reporter: that's not to say you can't meet your special someone online. trombetti says people in their 20s have the most success finding long term relationships through apps. the success rate for that age group is about 17%. >> i do think the trends are going towards meeting people in person. that's what they say, but the majority, i think it's something like 90%, are on online dating apps. >> reporter: whether you meet

your special someone online or riding a b.a.r.t. love train, trombetti says your best bet is to be positive. >> don't give up on love. >> reporter: valentine's day, a chance to get out of your comfort zone and get your dating life back on track. first alert weather powered by kia. learn more at kia.com. kia, movement that inspires. >> the weather dried out just in time for people with valentine's day plans or singles awareness day plans. that latest storm system is moving to the east. a lot of cloud cover associated with that will bring big headaches to the eastern half of the country tomorrow, significant flooding threats, severe weather threat for the deep south. there's another storm system off the coast that looks very impressive, that big comma shape indicating a very well organized storm, but this will largely avoid the bay area. there is a chance maybe of a couple showers trying to move in our direction. let's look at the big picture perspective with the map of the

west coast. we'll bring in the radar simulation how this next storm system will spread some moisture towards the pacific northwest, even into northern california as we head through especially late tomorrow and into sunday, but we're going to be on the southern edge of even the hint of moisture that's going to try to head our way. there is one forecast model that's trying its best to bring a chance of showers into the bay area for the second half of the weekend on sunday. let's look at that. this is futurecast from 10:00 tomorrow evening through 4:00 on sunday and we are going to be seeing this moving farther and farther to the north. the bulk of that activity is falling apart as it tries to head our direction. there's a different one that tries to hold it together to a greater extent and send a better chance of showers into the bay area early sunday morning, mainly into the north bay, things falling apart as it tries to move deeper into the

bay area. this is the wettest case scenario and it's not very wet compared to what we've dealt with the past couple weeks. this is about the extent of our rain chance through the rest of the month of february. let's look at our rain chances over the next seven days. they are not impressive at all. there's a little 30% chance on sunday, another 20 to 30% chance on wednesday and that's it. if they amount to anything, it would be barely more than a trace of rainfall. the forecast otherwise looks dry through the end of february. we started the month with a very wet two-week stretch, looks like we'll end it with a very dry two-week stretch, will go into the books pretty normal statistically. things kind of come at us all or nothing this winter. with clear skies tonight temperatures will drop off, north bay valleys waking up to mid-30s, otherwise upper 30s inland and upper 30s

and low 40s along the bay and coast, a little below average, but we'll manage to warm up as we head into tomorrow afternoon, mostly low 60s inland, 62 the warm spot in san jose with upper 50s and low 60s around the bay and mid-50s along the coast. bodega bay and pacifica top out at 55 degrees. so we're talking about a 7-degree difference between the warmest and coolest spots. let's check out the seven-day forecast and start inland where there is a warm-up noticeable. there's a chance of showers trying to head our way sunday. we'll leave it out for wednesday for now. upper 60s and maybe a chance of 70 degrees. the warm-up isn't as noticeable around the bay, but still low to mid-60s by thursday and friday, which is above normal for late february. along the coast the warm-up will be around or maybe above 60 degrees by the end of next week. matt, what's going on in

sports? >> coming up, in the expert of valentine's day, i'm handing out some special messages to the bay area. the rising stars challenge rose to the occasion. find out a.i. is really getting into everything and now that includes the nba. the league showed off

its physical a.i. robots today. this is how they're already helping one all-star. >> get some shots up. here we go. ♪ >> at first it was definitely weird, having all these robots moving around and doing stuff. they just become part of the day-to-day. >> i just treat them like any other player. get the [ bleep ] out of here. get me another one. >> that's so good. the robots, kit, mimic, bb and abe were working with functions help with recovery and game prep and as far as feeding you balls to shoot with is kind of like convenient i feel. >> that's a secondary score for steph. >> we've got a very, very interesting all-star weekend coming up. >> yeah. there's tons going on. the main event of the all-star weekend is going to be sunday night. friday there is the

rising stars challenge, the best young players in the league, maybe the most competitive night of this as well. >> oh, oh. >> yeah. the winning squad of the four-team tournament gets to play against the nba all-stars sunday. the warriors were well represented, hardaway and mullen serving as honorary coaches. pods and jackson davis faced off in the first game. tjd throwing up the alley-oop, scored six points. he helped team mullen beat team hardaway 40-34. they moved on to the final. jackson, davis and team mullen facing the g-league all-stars. winner gets to play sunday. utah's keyonte george knocks down the three. tjd and mullen get the 25-14 win and will now play in sunday's all-star game. they've got a chance to win $125,000 against a

team featuring lebron james, kevin durant, and, oh, yeah, that guy, steph curry. >> we're going to take it to them. who's the team we play again? steph, lebron, k.d. fair challenge, for sure. the check is great and all, but beating those dudes is worth ten times that. so just going out there and competing, having fun. i like our team a lot and i like our chances. >> i don't know if there's bulletin board material in an all-star game, but there it is. over in oakland bay area legends jerry rice and barry bonds played against each other in the celebrity games. davis helped lead team bonds to a win, 66-55 over old jerry rice, not enough g.o.a.t. fuel for his players. roses are red, violets are blue. no lombardi trophies this year or championship tattoos, but just because there wasn't a ton of love about bay area

sports teams doesn't mean we weren't handing out valentine's. the first one for the newest warrior jimmy butler, we're so glad you left miami. there was too much tension. dub nation knows your worth, so here's a two-year extension. for buster posey, without you behind home plate it's been hard to stay sober and welcome back to third and king. please get us back to october. 9er edition. deebo, good-byes are never easy, so no need to bicker, but wherever you go next please don't fight the kicker. in honor of nba all-star weekend one for our dear friend, charles barkley, sir charles, we know you don't like our city. you've said many awful things. you'll just never know what it's like to have championship rings. we got plenty of those. story chuckster. hopefully you enjoy san francisco more than san antonio. if you know, you know. should be a fun weekend around the bay, skills challenges on saturday, of course, the game sunday. it's going to be a lot

of fun. >> yeah. >> you were pretty good today, too. >> no. it did not go well. do you think you could beat your favorite nba player at their own game? what happened when we tried to make some critical shots. hey, jonny moseley here. got your gear dialed and your toyota packed up for a day in the mountains? cool. let's wander over to the map and see what kind of weather we're dealing with. here comes the toyota tahoe report. >> we are heading into presidents' day weekend and conditions in the sierra are looking really good. road conditions are improving now that the latest storm system is moving out. that storm dropped a lot of fresh snow throughout the sierra just in time for the holiday. these are the amounts over the last 48 hours, generally speaking, 2 to 3 feet of new snow on top of that substantial base. the weather in the mountains is looking good this weekend, just a light rain/snow mix sunday into monday, doesn't look like it will amount to much and it should not cause any problems on

the roads. low temperatures will be in the 20s with highs in the 30s through presidents' day on monday. just enjoy all that fresh powder and we will be here keeping you updated one of the many benefits of

having the nba all-star weekend in your city is you get to check out all of the fan experiences the league has to offer. today reporter kelsi thorud and i were at the nba crossover event at moscone center. the best part of that event i would argue is the hands-on basketball challenges you can take on. we decided to go head to head with the few minutes of down time we had. >> did you know what you were getting into? >> i found out in the moment she's a basketball player. >> kelsi is a baller. >> kelsi started shooting first. she played for her high school in oregon. by the way, fun fact, she says she was the tallest player on her team. she was listed at 5'10. she's actually 5'8. >> 10 is a stretch. >> if it looks like she's rusty, she's not. the balls had like no air in them. so we both struggled in the beginning, but here is the differencemaker. kelsi got into business mode. she lost the business casual,

the blazer, which she says is messing with her form. here she goes. once she got rid of it she got back into the flow, took her a second. the people working this event even complimented her on her form like multiple times. she did this in the middle of several live shots and she put a story together which i will say is not easy and requires kind of a lot of focus. so she was doing live shots, coming off and shooting around. so then it was my turn. i was hoping to represent for team 11:00 p.m., but i bricked. kelsi works at night, too but she's off work earlier. so it's early evenings versus the late night. there were a couple bricks. i was building a house at one point. my basketball credentials are less impressive. i have not played on a team since middle school, but i do play for fun when i can. when all was said and done, we both made a couple shots. however, i took more and missed more. so i she kelsi won. >> okay. it's going to be good to concede defeat. >> there was a bar just to the right of this. it wasn't a full

bar. there was beer happening. >> did that have any influence on your performance? >> no. they would not let us drink and operate heavy machinery, those two guns you see there. >> they were trying to decide what doesn't make the cut for sports at 11:00. i'm not sure those would have made the cut. >> hers or kelsi's? >> neither one. i did another challenge, the coin-based challenge, where they had the moving hoop and that one at the time i did it i was number 28 on a list of best shooters and got like 8,000 points. number one was cade cunningham and number three was andrew wiggins. as long as i'm on the same list as those two, i'm okay. >> pretty good. >> salary-wise as well. >>
