safeness. they still insist the lighting levels were never unsafe. >> i don't think there's an issue of the tunneling about too bright. we have heard that, and we have looked into that. and in advance of your coming, we looked even closer. >> reporter: last year, managers paid $10,000 for another study of the lighting in broadway tunnel, lighting design firm studio 321 concluded current lighting levels generally meet industry guidelines. it's a conclusion this man disputes. he worries going from this bright tunnel to a dark street is still a danger. >> someone is going to get hurt or killed. >> reporter: sfpuc managers say they spend as much as $1.5 million a year on energy efficiency projects. most of those come back with high marks. ktvu, channel 2 news. a legal battle is brewing between one of the nation's largest vacation home rental

fanfare. it's been more than 13 years since terrorists through jets into the twin towers. publishing giant conde nast began moving workers in today. one world trade center is now the tallest building in the country. temperatures warmed a little bit today. cool over the weekend as temperatures rebounded from that rain, and even snow in the mountains. we got back into the upper 60s, low 70s today. temperatures tomorrow even warmer. here's what i pointed out earlier, the jet stream pushing into the pacific northwest. that's a nice looking weather producer, but it's too far north to give us anything. we're headed up for a high pressure system that's going to give us light winds. not strong offshore, so we're

not expecting a high fire danger which is often something you see late october, early november. a little bit of fog along the coast here. so the winds haven't shifted quite yet, but they will, and start to turn around by tomorrow morning. a little more northerly, and certainly by tomorrow night, we'll notice a north, maybe even a northeast component to the wind. it keeps the fog clearer to the coast. overnight, not the big story, but i think it's the weather story. tomorrow morning when you wake up, these inland bay valleys are going to be in the mid-30s in some places. i think you might even find low 30s in the north bay. might even find a little patchy fog up in the north bay as which. no, sir way out of the unusual, it's just, we haven't had a lot of cold overnight lows. a little bit of patchy fog at the coast. temperatures warm. yellows or 70s. look at all the mid-70s and low 70s. lots of upper 60s.

it's going to be cool mornings all week. mild to warm afternoons. and the rain stays north. we're going to be warming on wednesday. we'll see numbers on wednesday in the low 80s. even on the weekend as well. so more warm weather. no record heat i don't suspect, but just warmer and no rain. that's the drag. it would be nice to get a little rain in here as we go to the five-day forecast. but this one, there's nothing in it. there's something down the road, but as i mentioned this earlier in the broadcast, this time of year, with the drought we're under, i'd like to see something unsettled in the five day every week. it would actually take something like that to make a dent in the drought we're dealing with. anyway, that's not great news. i'm kind of being half empty guy. that's a nice looking forecast. >> it sure is. >> enjoy this week, looks like maybe some rain coming. mark's here now with sports. they've got a long way to go probably before they sign him, but at least the giants made an

offer to pablo sandoval. >> it's a start. >> a good way to put it. he says he's going to make the decision with his heart. but the giants want pablo sandoval to be clear about one thing in his head. yeah, they want him back. the we can work it out process begins with the giants extending a qualifying offer of $15.3 million. what it does is first assure the giants will receive a draft pick compensation it he does leave, and allows the giants to continue negotiate on a contract they feel both sides will agree on. sandoval, a career .344 hitter in the world series, and is the only player in major league history to hit a home run in his first three world series at- bats. yeah, worth keeping around. no question about it. the absolute low point of the harbaugh era. halfway through this season, 4- 4 is the team's record. problems everywhere you look. quarterback has been sacked 14 times in the last two games.

a quarterback who fumbled on the final play of the game yesterday, costing a victory, and an unimaginative offense, that scored only one touchdown in the 4th quarter all year. inexcusable. still, that last play sunday is one that's going to stick in their claw for a long time. >> the ball came out. i have to hold onto it. i know i crossed the line. >> might have been a little bobble early. >> yeah, i did bobble the snap. but regardless, we had opportunities in both halves we didn't take advantage. >> you've been sacked 14 times total the past two games. how tough is it to do your job when you're under such duress. >> that's why i'm here. i have to make plays under such situations. i have to be better back there. >> techniques, dumb schemes, played like [ bleep ]. >> pretty much describes it.

rough times for the former sanford coach harbaugh. but a couple of his former students, you might say, living it up in new york tonight. monday night football all about andrew luck. and another former cardinal teaming up. sports part 2, next. at shell, we believe the world needs a broader mix of energs, which is why we are supplying natural gas,

to generate cleaner electricity, that has around 50% fewer co2 emissions than coal. and why with our partner in brazil, we are producing a biofuel made from renewable sugarcane to fuel cars. let's broaden the world's energy mix, let's go.

nothing lucky about it. put up 7 consecutive games throwing for 300 yards or more, you've got it going on as a quarterback. andrew luck would fit that description. michael strahan, honored at halftime by the giants. new york could have used him to put a little heat on andrew luck. the hall of famer, famous pass rusher. 4 touchdowns for luck tonight. wrestling it away from dominic rodgers-cromartie. who wants it more? you've got your answer there. 354 passing yards for luck. flips it to reggie wayne. gets the move, got the sideline speed. 40-24, colts now 6-3. looks like we're about to witness the leap. a player going from very good to full on superstar. claire thompson into rarefied air. averaging 25 points in the first three games. he is the western conference player of the week. the warriors are 3-0. that's the sporting life for a monday

night. >> all right, mark, thank you. thank you for joining us tonight. our coverage continues on 6news.com. ♪
