hometown, i feel like is so special. you see how big of an event it is, the community it brings together. >> we've sent our crews all over the bay area to get a look at the action. and with such a busy three-day weekend in the city, business is booming. >> the eyes of the world are on us this weekend, and we get to show off all that is great about our city. >> we'll be hearing from business owners who were hoping to bounce back. >> live from the cbs studios here in san francisco, i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. just down the street, one of the world's largest lunar new year's celebrations is happening on market. >> we do countless times of practicing, making sure it's perfect, and we always review the technique. it's pretty cool. it's not every day you get to have a snake around you. >> well, that's for sure. and

the parade will soon snake its way to kearny street and columbus avenue. and here is a look at chase center where the all star game is happening this weekend. golden state warrior steph curry will be playing in that matchup. >> the fun doesn't stop at chase center. at moscone center, the floor is open if you want to try to execute a slam dunk. let's see if john ramos tried. >> reporter: in today's interactive world of sports, they've learned if you put a good product on the air, people will watch, but if you involve fans in the sport, they'll come out to be a part of it. the biggest event open to the public had to be the nba crossover at san francisco's moscone center. the entire bottom floor was converted into an interactive fan experience, including a chance to feel the electrifying thrill of scoring a slam dunk.

12-year-old mason missed on the first attempt but connected with a massive wind mill slam on his second try. >> you would see all the lights, so it's like you're on the real court. that's cool. >> reporter: did that make it feel like you really made a slam dunk? >> yeah. >> reporter: his 5-year-old brother lost the handle but then made a dunk and hung on the rim for emphasis. the next exhibit over was harder to explain. fans wandered through a 14th century castle completing challenges with a chance to play a basketball video game. >> brings fans into a real life video game essentially so. the idea is like a fully immersive tech experience that mashes up that baroque essence with basketball and gaming culture. >> reporter: actually, video gaming and the nba have a close connection, which once again gives fans the chance to imagine being one of their hardwood heroes. but it wasn't all make believe, some lucky fans got a chance to play two on two against former harlem globe troert chris staples and the professor, a young man who became an internet sto star for his crazy ball handling skills.

watching from the sidelines, stella hernandez from walnut creek loves the nba and is inspired by the growing popularity of the wnba as well. >> all the youth and the young ladies out there showing that you can come and be a part of something that you aspire to -- even when you look up to all the men and you can come and try and be like all the women you look up to too as well. >> reporter: events were happening all over town, including a couple of blocks of powell street near union square renamed all star alley. people waited in long lines just to get into stores to see, well, some weren't too sure. do you have any idea what you're even waiting in line for? >> no, but i'm super excited. we'll find out once we get in there. worth the wait. >> reporter: a museum displaying cutouts, bobbleheads, and cornbread marketed by a former warrior. still, it was fun for mary, who waited 30 minutes to get in. >> i don't know, the nba, basketball, it's so much part

of our culture. we love the warriors. and the all star game, i don't know, what is it, every 20 years maybe, so we didn't want to lose out on an opportunity to celebrate. and it's free, so everything else costs a lot more when you want to go to chase center, so. >> reporter: the fact is, the nba has gotten so big that there's a kicked of magic just being close to it. back at the crossover, mitch richmond, former warrior and member of the famed run tmc crew, said the league has grown because it was smart enough to bring the fans into the experience. >> i think this is what could galvanize the game. you know, we have -- i remember coming in '88, we have never seen anything like this. each and every year, man, it's expanding. we're going global. we're getting so many athletes from all around the world. and we're also getting fan base from all around the world. so it's been growing each and every year. >> reporter: it will be at least 30 years before the nba all star game comes back to san francisco. you can only imagine how big the game will be then. >> again, the all star game is

happening tomorrow at chase center at 7:00. >> and on top of all star weekend and the chinese new year parade, lot of couples are enjoying valentine's day weekend at some of the local restaurants. >> plus, it's a three-day weekend. president's day on monday, and businesses are banking on a huge economic boost. da lin sprinted across the city today to talk to people from different neighborhoods. >> in fact, he has ended up at pier 39 right now. and how's it looking out there, da? >> reporter: yeah, brian, very busy right now. in fact, you know, there's so much going on in the city of san francisco it feels like the city is sold out. here's a live look at pier 39. live music right now and a lot of families, some lovers still celebrating valentine's day weekend as well. this is a pan through fisherman's wharf. again, a live shot, just a wall to wall of people. and this is music to the ears of business

owners. from the bay view to the marina, there's optimism, vibrancy, and excitement, even some happy tears. >> i'm just very happy. >> reporter: vanessa lee couldn't have picked a better weekend to open smoke soul kitchen in the bay view. saturday grand opening on third street, not far away from thrive city where the nba is hosting all star festivities. >> kind of did a collaborative and wanted to make sure that it was a time where we can activate a lot of people can come out, have fun, interact up and down with all the businesses that are here. >> reporter: with tens of thousands of extra visitors this weekend, vanessa is hoping to see some nba fans coming through the doors to try her soul food. >> it's busy, it's crazy, but we're ready. and i'm happy about it, so it's a good thing. >> reporter: she's not alone. small businesses across the city are capitalizing on the large crowds celebrating the chinese new year parade and the nba all star events. grant avenue in chinatown was packed with people hanging out at the community

street fair before the parade. >> it's just a big boost in the arm for us. we've needed this and now we seem to be getting it all at once. makes me feel so good that chinatown is invigorated. >> reporter: the camera zone store owner, also in chinatown, couldn't agree more. thieves drove a stolen car into his store five months ago to steal his cameras, hence the plywood storefront. he says he needs all the help to recover from that big loss. >> foot traffic is doubled for this time of the year, for february, yes. >> reporter: over at pier 39, a lot of nba fun and games. former nba all star center demarcus cousins signed autographs and took pictures with fans inside the store. demarcus played a season with the golden state warriors about six years ago. >> the weekend has been great. i'm just glad to be out here and be a part of it, see all the festivities going on. it's a beautiful thing. so i'm glad i could be a part of all star

weekend. >> reporter: here is a time lapse of the early afternoon crowds at the pier. many business owners brought in extra food, merchandise, and staff to prepare for the busy week. they say on top of all the major events, a lot of couples are still celebrating valentine's day. >> today started off with a bang. we had a good lunch rush. i'm kind of gearing up for the afternoon. i think there's a lot of foot traffic around. i know the parking lot's full. >> reporter: hard to find street parking or an open table on chestnut street in the marina. mayor daniel lurie want to build on this momentum and keep san francisco moving in the right direction. >> the eyes of the world are on us this weekend, and we get to show off all that is great about our city. and then on monday we get back to the work of making sure our streets are safe and clean every single day, 365 days a year. >> reporter: back in the bay view, vanessa hopes every day will be like her first day.

>> i am optimistic. i'm happy. we lead with love and joy here. >> reporter: pack a lot of patience, because as you can tell, a lot of people, a lot of traffic. a live look of pier 39. public transit may not be a bad way to get around. muni is offering free rides this weekend as well, and of course, a lot of police security throughout the city of san francisco. for now, live here at pier 39, i'll send it back to you, brian? >> all righty, da, thanks so much. it looks like fun. not so fun on the high briny deep. how is the santa cruz wharf holding up? we'll find out when we come back. coming up in the first alert forecast, it's not a lot, but there is some more rain coming. it's getting here tomorrow. we'll time that out, we'll talk about how much the north bay might see out of this, and then there's another one. and that one gets here by the middle of the week. i'll show you why neither of these are really that

welcome back. a big drug bust out of contra costa county. chp said that they seized about 125 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop. >> the driver and passenger were both arrested for possession charges. the chp shared these photos of several garbage bags filled with drugs inside the car and in the trunk. in other news, 19-year-old in sonoma county jail for robbing a pep boys' employee on valentine's day. that's video of the suspect, miles wilkerson. escaped in a getaway car and off they go. police tracked and chased the car all the way to daly city and then up into san francisco. suspect crashed his vehicle in san francisco and then tried to run on foot. police got him, though, and now

he is in jail on $150,000 bail. and a high surf warning is in effect along the coast. and here's a look at the large waves. well, they're not so large right now, but those are larger waves over there pounding the santa cruz wharf yesterday. be careful if you head out to the shoreline. >> one thing we like to do during swells like this is close off the jetties. we did close off the west jetty. this morning there were waves breaking over it. now that the tide's dropping, we're not seeing that as much. >> santa cruz county says it's not taking chances with public safety, so as he said, those jetties are closed. lifeguards and first responders are patrolling the beaches in jet skis on standby for water rescues. >> where are all of these high waves from some storm? >> yes, the wave energy takes longer to get here on that stuff. it finally just got here the next day, which is why the

problem is everybody thinks the storm is over, blue skies. they go down to the beach and a wave comes up. >> do not turn your back. >> yeah. give than a little more time. we don't have anymore big storms coming our way, but we have a rainmaker tomorrow. what we should do is take a look at the timing for tomorrow morning morning in the north bay. let's stay right about there. we're not going to get rain from this one in the south bay. it's all coming in up here. and it's only going to be here through about, you know, like from 4:00 a.m. to about 1:00 in the afternoon. the time is ticking by on the bottom right hand corner of your screen, but this is like, you know, in the 7:00, 8:00, 9:00 hour. few light showers that show up and that's it. we'll barely see anything hold together, just long enough that maybe we could say san francisco comes away with perhaps 0.01 of an inch of rain out of this. it's only up here where we find anything measurable. bodega bay is probably the winner with 0.2 of

an inch of rain, and santa rosa will barely get 0.05 of an inch of rain. look what happens through the rest of the bay. not even putting numbers on here, because rain won't get far enough south. not from this one, but there is another one that is coming our way. so let's go out and find that one in the pacific. and the storm track still looks good out there. in fact, now it'll make sense why we're getting wave energy. it wasn't just the system yesterday. there were several others out here that have been able to kick up the swells and reach us. by the way, covered in clouds, west coast is over here. so we sit right about there. you can see the clouds overhead right now are pretty much just harmless clouds. we're waiting for that system to give us a little bit of light rain. that's the one that comes through tomorrow. but then there's another one back here that's got a little bit of rain in it. so if we clear that out, put the rain in it, and play it forward, that one gets here just in time to give us a few light showers on wednesday. same scenario likely going to come in a little too far north. let's look at that one in more detail

back here we can compare and contrast models. when we put the forecast imagery on the hemisphere, that's the american model. this is the european model, which quite frankly, has been doing better this winter. and when you take a look at how that plays forward, see the time stamp up there, this is wednesday morning, 6:00 a.m. let's go ahead to about noon. and then that's pretty much the end of it. so the timing on wednesdays is more light rain just like tomorrow. it's going to come through in the first half of the day. and just like tomorrow, it's maybe, you know, 0.2 of an inch of rain for some of the heavier spots in the north bay. and that's about it. although this one at this point does appear to have the ability to hold together to get everybody at least a chance for rain. but none of it really looks big. you want to know what the real story in the seven-day forecast is, the warm-up after that. so if you look back towards the end of this, daytime highs are going to start climbing to the upper 60s. so we got a chance of rain sunday. chance of rain wednesday. and then numbers in the bay in general will be in the upper

60s. but some of our warmer microclimate, san jose, livermore, santa rosa, could be around 71 degrees by the time we get to saturday. just sounds different. only three degrees warmer, but the psychology matters. brian, over to you. >> you know why all that rain was bad news? because this new pathogen we're going to talk about in the oak tree, it thrives in wet weather. and so that's why they're looking for -- i'll explain to you what i mean. sudden oak death has killed millions of trees in california and in oregon since they discovered it back in the 1980s. and now researchers at uc berkeley have found a new strain of this pathogen in the east bay hills. and if it cannot be contained, it could mean real trouble. watch. . >> we are in tilden park above grizzly peak road, and this is an east bay regional park district. >> reporter: becky is the ecological services manager at the park. >> it's one of the first three

parks in the park district. >> it's also the first place in contra costa county that a new strain of a deadly oak-killing microbe was found. >> this is the tree that tested positive in the fall. and this is the one we came back and we resampled in december. >> reporter: those samples from the tree were brought here to cal, where mateo has been studying the killer microbe. >> it's a disease caused by an exotic pathogen, and it's particularly lethal to oak trees and tan oaks. >> reporter: and it's killed at least 50 million oaks in the coast range of california since the 1980s. the microbe responsible? na1 probably hitched a ride on these exotic plant, camellias and rhododendrons. there are three varieties of these oak killer microbes. >> and we believed until this year the only one of these three had escaped in the wild, but this year the big discovery was that we found another one that is in the wild as well.

>> reporter: now the scramble is on to find out how many oaks have been infected with this new variant and doing some of the science -- >> natalie and leah, two of our intrepid student workers. >> reporter: they're extracting from bay laurel leaves, which spread the disease to oaks. >> it looks like it may be sudden oak death, but we don't know for sure until we test the dna that comes from these samples. >> reporter: using a hole punch, cutouts from the leaves are placed in vials. >> what i'm doing now is getting the extracted dna that we collected from the leaves from the hole punches. >> how many individual tests do you do, say, over the summer? >> about 1,600. >> reporter: in 45 minutes, the verdict is in. >> it's a very specific test. that indicates that this sample is positive. >> reporter: so there is a possibility the new variant could sweep like wildfire

through our remaining oaks. that's why the experts are enlisting community scientists to identify sick trees asap. >> californians in their own community, that's who's testing this. >> reporter: so if you have oak trees that are standing next to bay laurels, take out the bay laurels. and think about helping to comb through the trees to identify infections. thousands are already helping. >> and that way we can get a better sense as to how many more trees are infected and look at where it could be spreading to. to help maintain as healthy a forest as we can. coming up in sports, the nba all star weekend is bringing the game's best stars to the bay area. and on saturday, they were back in the oakland arena. some are fond of it, others have some roug

at a different venue. let's go to vern glenn in oakland. >> reporter: for the first time since 2019, the nba took over the coliseum arena, and it had that old nostalgic feel. . >> we have a little bit of a moment to honor and reminisce the 47 years that we played in this building. the ten years that i had, the energy in this building that can come back just like that, it was -- i've enjoyed it to the fullest. >> i can feel it when you walk. >> all star being in the bay area is in large part due to what's happened in oakland. and so nba to bring things back over here kind of bringing back that nostalgia feelings is really good. >> reporter: steph and draymond weren't the only ones feeling nostalgic this weekend. >> the fans, the energies all felt the same. even with all

star practice. so yeah, man, i'm getting real nostalgic right now. i think the city needs this type of energy, and if all star weekend is going to be here, i thought this was a great opportunity to do something like this. >> reporter: damian lillard spent plenty of time at this arena growing up in oakland. >> and we walked past where the locker room used to be at as a kid, and i turned to somebody and i was like, when i was younger, the warriors team was so bad that i used to -- me and my brother used to walk through the tunnel, walk in the back, eat food in the media room. now that i'm in the nba, i know it was the media room. so it was hot dogs and sodas and all that. and we used to eat in the media room and then walk through -- walk out where the players walked out at. and we would just stand there. they'd be coming out of the locker room, we'd get autograph, walking up to they cars, and it was like how were we ever able to do that? >> reporter: everybody was trying to get a glimpse of the all stars. even warriors second year forward santos, a correspondent for nba brazil.

>> santos is an awful teammate. doesn't play hard. no, i'm just playing. >> reporter: what's it like walking around being one of us carrying one of these, huh? >> man, i just see how tough it is to be a, like, work in this media side, be a reporter. we going to do a bet tonight. so if you win, you -- i'm inviting you to go to brazil with me. you got to speak up, talk, when you have the time, you got to be right on the time to ask me question. so yeah, it's definitely so hard. i don't think that's the job for me. no, i think it's easier to be on the court playing basketball. >> reporter: and of course, steph made this place roar-acle once again. there was no shortness of energy here all afternoon. just like old times. matt? >> kevin heart going to be at chase center tomorrow. he was courtside at duke to see the blue devils take on stanford.

president in the oval office. >> for his part, president trump this weekend is at mar-a-lago for the president's day weekend. at the same time, his administration does remain at work making significant changes to the federal government. cbs news correspondent willie james inman has more from west palm beach, florida. >> tariff, i told you, is a beautiful word. >> reporter: president trump is talking tariffs. this week the president announced so-called reciprocal tariffs, or import taxes, that could reshape global trade and make a range of goods more expensive for americans to buy. >> this will send shock waves through the world economy, and that's before you price in the fact that other countries will feel the need to retaliate. >> reporter: trump says he plans to increase tariffs to match what other countries charge for imports. a new auto tariff on u.s. trade partners beginning in april. >> the tariffs are going to save a lot of industries. >> reporter: saturday the president wrote on social media,

quote, on trade i have decided for purposes of fairness that i will charge a reciprocal tariff, meaning whatever countries charge the united states of america, we will charge them no more, no less. meanwhile, late friday, the justice department officially filed paperwork to drop corruption charges against new york city mayor eric adams after the deputy attorney general said a prosecution would hamper adams' ability to assist the trump administration with its immigration policies. >> it's reminiscent of the nixon era, where you saw the president basically try to find someone who would carry out hissed orrers in the justice department. had to go through several officials. >> reporter: saturday afternoon the president wrote without any context, quote, he who saves his country does not violate any law. southern california now. storm cleanup continues? sierra madre after it was hit hard. we had rain, they had rain. some of

the areas in knee-deep mud. city workers and calfire hand crews came to the hillside neighborhood to help. city said that its first priority is clearing out the main roads. >> thought we knew what to expect. we put the mud fence up. we tried to be prepared. but this was just way too much. >> a similar situation near the pacific palisades burn scar. crews were cleaning up muddy roads in malibu. a woman whose business survived the fire and mudslides said that she is grateful that it's just standing. >> it feels pretty amazing, i must tell you, very amazing. i do, i do, i feel very honored. very honored. and once again i love the community of malibu. they're very special people here. it's a wonderful community. >> that little dog was taking it all in stride. both areas continue to monitor the situation for more possible mudslides.

also hosted another big all star event, the hbcu classic, two historically black colleges, tuskegee university and morehouse, are facing off. the hbcu classic is in its fourth year, giving athletes a global stable for something bigger than just the game. >> it's amazing. the stage presence is just everything. >> it's inspiring because i do some day hope to play in the big leagues, and maybe one day i could be on the court next. >> our mary lee will have more on the hbcu classic tonight at 11:00. well, the big basin forest fire scorched thousands of acres of land. we're meeting one group who wants to protect the forest as climate change is ramping up fire threat. we'll be right back.

nice to meet ya. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years and i'm from flowery branch, georgia. when i have customers come in, i recommend prevagen. number one, because it's safe and effective. does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself and i know it works. and i love it when the customers come back in and tell me, "david, that really works so good for me." makes my day. prevagen. for your brain.

it's been nearly five years since a lighten-fuelled wildfire caused major damage in big basin state park. that includes scorching some thousand-year-old redwoods. since then an environmental group has been working to make sure those trees are protected far into the future. they spoke to len ramirez at park in the santa cruz mountains. >> reporter: well, some of the frees here at big basin state park are thousands of years old, but 125 years ago, they were being clear cut in practically no time. that is until the club stepped in and put a stop to it. today the club is still around and still protecting these trees

for centuries into the future. if these ancient redwoods could speak they might tell a tale of improbable survival and near death experiences. >> big basin was created in 1902 because citizens learned about untethered, clear cut logging happening across the redwood range. >> reporter: that's sara barth talking about -- earliest conservation trust 125 years ago. >> the old growth that we're about to walk through here is really what inspired activism on the part of the founders of the fund. and it was revolutionary at the time to think that trees were worth something just left standing. >> reporter: they were left standing but only to face other

manmade and natural threats to their existence. the 2020 complex fire, which was caused by lightning, burned 97% of big basin state park. the historic park headquarters on numerous cabins were burned to the ground and tens of thousands of trees were incinerated. the cabins are gone forever, but the redwoods are still alive. the fire destroyed the wide and dark canopies and the treetops of a bottle brush appearance, but they persevere. >> this tree stands today, battle scarred, right? here's the char from the most recent fire right here. and here's a scar showing out how the tree was alive but hollowed out by earlier fires. and you can see the trunk of the tree growing over and will continue to grow over to close that scar over time. and this tree is alive. a testament to the ability of redwoods to withstand even

pretty extreme fire. >> reporter: now sarah says perhaps the greatest threat to the redwoods will be the hardest one to stop. >> climate change is as big or a bigger threat to the forest than the saws 125 years ago. the saws we could stop. and once they were stopped, the forests were saved. climate change, we're not going to be able to just stop it. >> reporter: she says the challenge is to manage old growth forests in a way to lessen the impacts of droughts followed by floods, followed by fires. the state of california has already outlined plans to remove large parking lots at big basin for the benefit of the forest floor, increased shuttles, and limit camping to less sensitive areas. and sarah says just as her predecessors did before, the fund is ready to go against the grain again with even more controversial ideas to save the redwoods. >> we're going to need to do things like thinning. that means

logging, select logging. it means bringing fire into areas, controlled fire, to help reduce the flammability of these forests. and so i think the vision that the fund can provide today is helping the public understand why that's so essential if we want to see these beloved redwoods continue for the next seven generations. >> reporter: the next chapters in the lives of these old growth trees haven't been written yet, but the new forest management strategy is already being rolled out by state parks. >> i would love to be around another few thousand, see what's going to happen to it. >> reporter: and visitors like katherine and susan can only hope that today's decisions can be as smart as those made 125 years ago and will have positive and long lasting impacts on the ancient giants of the forest. okay, we got a little more rain coming our way in tonight's forecast. a few showers on sunday morning. then a few more showers on wednesday morning. and then we're going to be done with that and there

is a noticeable warm-up happening. next week -- by next weekend you might not even recognize the place. we'll go over all of this in detail. forecast next.

i don't ever see anyone coming out to maintenance anything, so it's very scary for me because i have everything i love in this home. so, we've now implemented drone technology. how is that safe for me? it enhances the inspection, so it allows us to see things faster. your safety is the most important, and if you're feeling unsafe, that's not okay. it doesn't feel like that in our hearts. i mean, it's worrisome.

so did i hear two chances of rain? >> yeah. >> okay. >> not much of the bay area, though, right? just north bay stuff? >> true. it's not a lot. >> okay, good. >> but there are two. >> but there are two, okay. >> first one's getting here tomorrow morning, so let's go in order and we'll talk about these. not all rain is equal. these are light showers tomorrow, and it's going to come through primarily in the morning. the first thing i want to show you is the visual. we saw the clouds increasing over the last few hours. time stamp down here on this side of the

screen. rain's coming in tomorrow in the north bay. tomorrow morning there's your rain. 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., going into like 7:00, 8:00, 9:00 in the morning. by the time we get to, like, noon it starts to quiet down. some stragglers trying to get down to the city. right there maybe a drop. that's about it. in fact, if we switch this out and put on how much rain we get that we can actually measure, only going to put on the locations that actually get something. so there is nothing down here. and you can see san francisco at 0.01 of an inch of rain. concord pretty much 0.01 of an inch of rain. napa looking the same. bodega bay the winner on the north coast there where you'll end up with just about 0.015 of an inch of rain. same with santa rosa. so that's the first one. monday and tuesday nothing happens. and then by the time we get to wednesday, let's go find that one. because there's another one we can already see it having developed out, pretty far out, in the pacific. real pretty

looking satellite imagery showing up out here. there's our day/night divider. we sit right here. the clouds over the bay. here's the system that's going to develop a little bit of rain back behind this for tomorrow morning. this is the one on wednesday. already out here on the other side of the day/night divider out across the pacific. it's so cool to look at the northern hemisphere this way and visualize all the resolution and the satellite. now we can look inside that. i can show you what the rain looks like. say good-bye to the clouds. let's put the rain in there and animate it forward so. that next system comes in, and right there, that's wednesday. and i think the timing on this might be a little too early to try and nail down specifics, but we can look at it a slightly different way. this is the american model. let's go to the european. so -- and it's always good to compare and contrast the two. we keep the american model here on the virtual hemisphere. we use the european here. and the european model's been doing better this winter with the

storms. their models got ours beat this winter. when you take a look at the details, that gets us into early wednesday, 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m., that's light rain. let's advance that to noon. that's when it comes to an end. right now that could adjust a little. it's pretty far down the road. if you're looking towards that second rainmaker and trying to make plans, first half of the day wednesday. let's put rainfall totals on it before the big dramatic red map of the country, which is the next story. about 0.2 of an inch of rain will come through on wednesday. so not really that significant of a deal. we do want to just take a moment and go to that next image. so if we look at the long-range forecast, seven days coming up in one second, but let's go past day seven. and let's use the climate prediction center's long range prognostication. we can call it a forecast, you can't do a fear cast for day 8 to 14, but you can put odds on things. the divert you get in shades of red like this, this bullseye for the west, the

higher degree of confidence temperatures are above average. the seven-day forecast, notice the trend at the end of it, daytime highs around 60 to start the week, right on the verge of 70 and probably even low 70s for our inland valleys by next weekend. all right, we'll be back after this.

unchanged over the years. >> if you haven't addressed inflow and you haven't addressed outflow, it's going to fill up again. >> last week we showed you how the city's housing units dedicated to helping the homeless are filling up. problem is the increase in the number of people getting housing is not keeping pace with the number of people who need it. the question and the challenge, how to prevent more people from coming into the system to begin with. as wilson walker explains, part of the answer comes from a forgotten part of the issue. >> and i didn't want to show my kids how i just break down in the middle of the night trying to figure out where i'm going to let my kids sleep at. you know, my daughter goes to school out here. >> reporter: for tasha, the threat of eviction didn't quite seem real until the letter appeared on her front door.

>> i was scared. when i seen that it had a court date. my daughter's dog. >> reporter: after spending several months and many paychecls helping struggling family members, she was behind on her rent. >> i was just thinking that we were going to be homeless again because we already was homeless before. >> reporter: do you know what you would have done had you been evicted from here? >> probably go to a shelter. i don't know. as you can see, i do a lot of artwork, so the lighting and -- >> sherry has lived in her panhandle apartment since 1998, but she almost lost it during the pandemic when she received a stage four cancer diagnosis. >> it's incredibly overpowering and sort of sent me into a spin, like you know, how am i going to pay for everything. how am i going to pay my rent. i was always very timely on my rent.

>> reporter: so what would she have done? >> i probably would have been one of the statistics out in the street. >> reporter: they are the faces often left out of san francisco's homelessness conversation, people that are not on the street or clearly in a state of crisis, but they are right on the verge of homelessness without some timely help. >> i just needed my rent to -- for me to get help getting my back rent paid down. >> plus i would probably cost the city a lot, because i may have ended up on the street, seriously. >> so prevention is, in my view, one of our biggest opportunities. if you can stop somebody from becoming homeless or get to them in that first 30 days, that is some of the cheapest and highest effective money that we spend. >> reporter: a member of the san francisco homeless oversight

commission says in the right cases a little money can go a long way. evidence shows that people who do end up on the street are at much higher risk of developing other challenges, physical and mental health, maybe substance abuse. and the longer people are on the street, the more severe those problems can become. >> now you have to spend enormous amounts of resources taking care of that person when they show up to the er or they cause problems out on the street. and all of that, think about that daisy chain of events that we have to take care of. all of that could have been stopped if we had invested $500 in keeping them in their apartment right at the critical moment when they were about to lose their home. >> you know people wonder, what is it that i can do to help? instead of building affordable housing, which has to, of course, be built, to do all the things that kind of come before that or contribute forward it.

>> reporter: for sherry and tasha, help came through a nonprofit that partners with the city. >> i don't think i can thank them enough. now that i got that part out the way, i feel better. i feel a lot of weight off of my shoulders. >> reporter: a weight off of her shoulders and one less family entering homelessness, the kind of solution with up sides for the city and certainly those who suddenly find themselves in need of some help. >> being able to stay in my home and all the people that allowed that and helped that, i'm really grateful to them. because that really helped sustain my life. it did. and here i am. i'm still here, you know. >> well, that's it for now. we'll see you back here at 11:00 tonight. >> until then, the news continues streaming on cbs news bay area.
