. >> well anyway, well they came and they did the transamerica tower. they came in and they invested big in that iconic space. if there's a union square is still iconic, it's still known around the world, and there's a value in that. and san francisco has just got to try to do its best it can to keep it going. right. >> but investors are not created equal, though, i think just to answer your question, patient capital is kind of what we've heard. >> you know, people who can really, as you said, spend that money and then wait and not expect a return on right away. yeah. and i think that's kind of how it's been in san francisco. and that is changing. >> laura waxman and phil matera, thank you both for coming on today and having us. >> they'll have they'll have the pet adoption and easter in macy's window. we'll take every last confirmed. well, we'll enjoy every last one we can get. >> thanks so much. thank you. all right. coming up next our week looking ahead to super tuesday continues. one of the biggest bay area races is the south bay congressional seat.

so i'm really optimistic about this because we have, for example, the transamerica pyramid building. that building sold for $600 million. and the owner, michael chabot, is investing another $400 million in the surrounding area and making it into more of a destination when it never was that before. i think the possibility and an iconic location like union square, this is exactly kind of the visionary transformation that we desperately need in our downtown union square area. so i see this as a possibility. >> this is a political season. you're up for re-election this november. your opponents who are running for mayor, specifically mark farrell and daniel lurie, are taking this opportunity to blame you for the macy's failure. your response to them or to the voters of san francisco? >> well, my response is where have they been? they've been m.i.a. during global pandemics. they're in black lives matter, anti-asian hate, all the challenges of san francisco. they have been m.i.a. and have not lifted a finger as to whether they could be helpful until they decided to come out publicly and say

but to be clear, this is an iconic location similar to the transamerica building. that's a billion dollar investment where it is not only the person who purchased the building, but they're transforming the entire area around that area. union square is already that iconic destination. so the ability to attract and retain other uses are possible. this is going to be a lot different than what we experience with. nordstrom were northam's close. this macy's is not closing any time soon and it presents us with some incredible opportunities. even the possibility of some component of macy's still being a part of downtown opportunities and certainly challenges that in the east bay, the macy's in walnut creek. >> we'll stay open. shockers at that. we talked to there were surprised to hear about the blow to san francisco. >> the creek and smaller when the wind, san francisco warning looks like macy's of all time. you know where it's a look at. and it's a shame. i love the city and i grew up there and i just here 2 years it's a city still. but what i miss in the city is an exi

we do have a little bit of fog this morning, though, shrouding out the top of the transamerica pyramidfrancisco. portions of marin, sonoma and napa counties are under a dense fog advisory up for the next few hours here. and you can see why when you look at our visibility map as seth up to santa rosa, seeing visibility falling below a mile. a few spots down along the bayshore. also looking at some of that dense fog having formed as well. it is also quite chilly. morgan hill, freeman, dublin among spots falling into the 30's this morning. same up into the north bay for sonoma, calistoga and vallejo. so don't forget those extra layers. stay nice and cozy as you're getting out there. we do have a partly cloudy morning ahead of us. but skies grew clearing clear for the 2nd half of the day. and it is going to be a mostly sunny, beautiful and seasonably comfortable afternoon with daytime highs reaching as warm as the low 60's. i'll be talking everything you've got to know as we do kick off this new week, all still to come for the roads right now, things out there are doing a okay as well. bay

this afternoon at the transamerica building san francisco looking nice out there. yeah, that's my sunshine. it's good way to wrap up the week wild ride. so i think on a friday, let's let's do this. let's have warmer temperatures and a little sunshine peeking through. you can see plenty spots are getting a little sunshine right we do have a little bit of moisture, but it is staying offshore and that's where it will stay, at least until we get later into the evening on our sunday. so right now we're just seeing a few clouds. but frankly, we're getting a bit of a break from that, too, which is quite nice. there's that low pressure system just hanging out off the coast, still churning away, keeping its really good form. i have to over all this time, temperatures have been kind of soaring as we head into our afternoon. 69 degrees right now in hayward, 64 in downtown san francisco. napa is up to 16 at we're flirting with 70 degrees in several spots right now. that is not what we're supposed to be time of year. you can see the difference in temperatures between 24 hours a

i love seeing, you know, the transamerica building and thelights glistening off the bay there. kind of picture-perfect. and really sort of -- lining up what we're going to see as it comes to our forecast this weekend. because no rain in sight at least for a couple of days. i know there's a little chance of rain on monday jess, i pay attention. but -- [ laughter ] not this weekend and i'm very excited about that. >> well, actually sunday, late evening there's a chance too. >> la, la, la. >> late evening. >> not listening. >> into monday morning. i'll show you that coming up in just a minute and i'll show you the models that are kind of lean to some showers in the forecast for us for sunday but it's not going to be a washout like recently here if the bay area. we went five days i mean, last weekend into early this week, with some really unsettled weather. but today, tomorrow, oh it's gorgeous and it's dry and we actually have a little bit of a warm-up for us. as we head into our weekend forecast. today we're sitting mostly in the mid 60s. tomorrow we're talking about upper 60s an

isolated pockets of heavy rain and then also a little bit of sunshine, working its way down to transamerica building you're kind of more on the sunny side of things right now. the sierra starting to pack up some snowfall. if you have had plans and getting up there this weekend, want your sunday travels. that's the day i'm looking at. could get dicey pocket of heavy rain in the marin headlands mostly light elsewhere in the north bay. we do have a thunderstorm developing just offshore of highway one west of santa cruz and some pockets of heavy rain stretching from sunnyvale and santa clara on over towards milpitas. most of us, though, are fairly quiet right now and we'll have a relatively quiet rest of the morning. aside from those isolated showers, especially in the south bay by early afternoon, though, thunderstorm development looks to be kicking back up again. so keep a close eye on radar as well as the skies start to see some dark clouds developing. maybe it's time to pack up and get back indoors. tomorrow is going to be actually very similar friday, a mixed bag of sunny and then convecti
