Have got the fire knocked down, but the fire will go on into the night. They are asking people to avoid the area. And lets look at the air quality. It looks pretty clear. We toss it over to darren. It looks like a pretty nice day, down in the south bay. Oftentimes, it is so fascinating that the rain it is like a barrier at the golden gate. It does not want to pay the toll. Nobody wants to pay that toll. I should have let that one breathe a little more. That was really good. I should so you how this played out today. We are only looking at from 7 00 in the morning to 1 30. Aline a very light rain moved across and it gets down to the golden gate and kind of dissipates, and we did not get anything from it. You to get 1 100 of a bit of rain on mount toga. This is now looking at live radar. We have cleared out from that system. We are done. But if we fill in this picture with the rest of the story, we can already see tomorrows rainmaker right there. This is the one we are going to take through in detail. Let me just show you the leading edge of it. We dont see that center of the storm which is so impressive but we get the southern edge. This one will go across the entire bay area and it will cross the golden gate, and it will do it in the later part of the day. The first half of the day, you are not going to get rained on. But tomorrow evening, you will. Back to you. Now to San Francisco where more stores are leaving San Franciscos union square area. North face says they are closing while zara says they will stay open until the end of the year. These announcements comes after macys big announcement to close their flagship store. For more than 70 years, macys held a flower show on the first floor of their union square store. This is video from 2018, and the show ended in 2020 during the pandemic. To carry on the tradition, the city and businesses put on union square in bloom. Reporter for years now, the pandemic has cast a dark shadow over union square, but on this day the crowns were back. And they were enjoying the splash of color five minutes at a time. So it looks like we invited some folks to a party and they really came. Reporter it has been a wild since this many people really felt union square, but most of them were here waiting for hours for an opportunity that at best was really shortlived. I woke up at 5 00 in the morning just to come here. It is insane. I feel like we pretty much nailed it. Yeah. We nailed it to come early. Reporter welcome to San Franciscos total of day. It created a rainbow of color on either end of the plaza and tens of thousands of people waited for their chance to take home a small part of it. Five minutes inside the garden. Everyone is limited to eight tulips. You must put the tulips inside the bag you are provided. Reporter the idea was born five years ago when people from the netherlands provided the service that americans never even knew they wanted. It is a pr stunt to make people happy and to make them a little bit aware of how they actually grow. Because, you know, most people do not know exactly how they grow. Reporter and somewhere along the way, then became a symbol of international goodwill. These are american tulips, but they are grown out of bulbs from the netherlands. It is a beautiful symbol. When we come together, we make the world bloom. Reporter mary jo and her mother came too late last year so this year they came four hours early. All that to spend five minutes in a garden picking out just eight flowers. But sometimes it is more about how it makes you feel. So something positive to lift up that mood is definitely needed here in the city. Reporter does the color of this thing kind of add to that impact . You. It makes you happy. Colors add to happiness. You know . It makes you want to go out and play. I think so. Reporter is that something this city could use right now . And union square certainly needs it with the announcement that the flagship macys store may be closing. The head of the Alliance Says the public must take action if they want this iconic location to remain viable. You have to ask yourself if your favorite stories leaving what is the last time you came down and supported small business, big business, any business that you love .

Reporter former President Donald Trump came out swinging today, delivering his first public speech since President Bidens fiery state of the union address. All you have to do is watch that horrible state of the union. That was the worst president in history making the worst date of the union speech in history. Reporter the former president looks to make momentum. He is a threat to democracy. I will tell you, he is a threat to democracy. Reporter as biden looks to capitalize on his energetic state of the union address. Now, maga Republican Donald Trump , not on my watch reporter biden returned to the key state of georgia, a state that he nearly won the 2020, and worked to sway voters on an election rematch.

A federal agency is now investigating United Airlines after a flight had to turn around. The flight left chicago for Salt Lake City after a Maintenance Issue made the pilot turn around and land back at ohare. The problem was possibly a oil warning light. The plane returned safely and passengers got out on a new plane. But this is the latest in a string of faulty united flights. Yesterday a united flight out of sfo had to make an Emergency Landing in los angeles. There was a problem in the hydraulic system. Passengers were bound for mexico city. They were all all right. And on thursday a tire fell off a united check during a take up at sfo. A tire landed on one of the cars parked in the lot crushing it and damaging other vehicles nearby. The plane had been headed to japan but the plane landed safely at l. A. X. And still ahead here at 6 00, it is time to spring forward and lose an hour of sleep but is it time to get rid of daylight savings time . Plus, with the giants playing spring training in arizona, fans got to take over oracle park. Its so fun to watch jessica in this space. This is a look at those clouds right now in realtime, but lets head underneath this cloud layer and take a look at our rainfall. [narrator] the virtual view studio, part of morning edition. Weekday mornings starting at 5 on kpix. Lift the clouds off of. Virtual weather, only on kpix and pix . As they approach the bay bridge toll plaza, there are obviously a lot of people approaching. Do not forget tonight is the night to set your clocks in our forward tonight so you can spring ahead and fall back. That is right. It is the time of year again where there will be an extra hour of daylight in the evening and an hour less in the morning. There are political concepts on whether to get rid of it completely and the difference of opinion seems to be whether you are a morning person or a evening person. When i wake up i dont like it being dark because i have to get my kids to school and dropping them off and it is dark. Experts to offer some tips for dealing with the change, at least in the short term, so your sleep rhythm does not feel offkilter. In the morning, you can expose yourself to some sort of bright light. That would be nice. Well, the giants wrapped up their fan fest. They had a chance to walk around the field and take photos with the world series trophies. Now, there are no players in attendance because they are playing ball and at spring training right now. Fans still had a chance to get autographs from some of the giants alumni. I saw you peering closely at that video. What were you looking for . I am so bummed i missed my chance to walk on the field. And look at you. You are already wearing orange and black. That is a whole other story. All right. We have got some rain coming our way. I want to get you ready for sunday. It is mainly sunday evening. The first half of sunday, you are not going to get rained on, but the second half you are. This is tomorrow morning. That rain is not getting there until like 5 00, 6 00 in the evening. And that is in the north bay. And unlike todays rain and we did technically get one today this holds together and we get one for everybody. If we time it out, that is already 7 00 in the evening. Now, we bring it further down to the golden gate and it gets here by about the 9 00 hour. So this is really tomorrow night. You get most of sunday without having to deal with rain. But once we get to sunset in that 6 00 hour, start making plans for that rain to come through. There goes by the south bay. I dont think you will get a lot out of it in Santa Clara Valley, but you will get some rain around midnight. Lets look at some totals actually. We probably pick out about one third of an inch in santa rosa. That is not bad but it is certainly not a major storm. The windshield wipers will be going and there is another one coming off of that. That one is getting here for Tuesday Morning. First, here is what this initial one does in terms of snow in the sierra. And this actually includes both of those systems. Again, not a major storm. But you will have some snow to deal with and because of that we have a winter storm watch. Then the winter storm watch will turn into the more ominous winter storm warning when we get right into it. Here is the take away from sunday through tuesday. Totaling two about close to another foot i dont think we will get a foot but maybe close on donner pass. Even if this is not the headlinegrabbing, blockbuster kind of blizzard that we just had, a winter storm watch is still something to take seriously if you have got to travel through the mourning, particularly sunday night to tuesday. Here comes the next system. That one comes a little too far north. We are probably going to miss most of this. Look at the time. This is now monday in the middle of the day. It comes in very late monday. More so, we are actually getting closer to tuesday. This is tuesday at 1 00 a. M. When we get somewhere noticeable rating in the north bay, it gets down to the golden gate. We are still predawn. It works its way down to the south bay. By the time we get to sunrise it will be gone. It is primarily tuesday rain, but it will be tuesday rain before you even wake up. So the tuesday commute should be okay but there will be slick roads. About a 10th of an inch of rain south of there. Then the whole focus is going to change. A very noticeable warmup is going to set in just in time for next weekend. So we are looking pretty far down the road here. This is the a to 14day outlook. Temperatures are going to start climbing. You can already see that beginning in our sevenday forecast. Here is this for Tuesday Morning. Most of tuesday youre not going to get rained on and if you sleep in past sunrise you will not notice it at all. In the east bay, you are going to be in the mid 70s by the end of next week. In san jose, your temperatures will be close to 80 by friday and saturday of next week. All right, andrea. Over to you. How the dawn is gearing up for the first conference tournament.

When the giants brought in matt chapman, it raised questions about who will get the most playing time at third with davis and Casey Schmidt in the mix. Well, the giants made a move this afternoon. They placed davis on waivers. Chapman made his spring training debut for the giants facing his former team, the as. Still scoreless in the bottom of the fourth. Finish the day one for two with a walk. That is when the giants kind of flip this game. Connect that liner up the middle. The giant scored five in the inning and go on to win 5 to 1. The dubs in action trying to put that tough loss to the bulls in the rearview mirror. They will have to do it without seth. Seth curry is out after spraining his ankle thursday night against the bulls. No need to panic though. No structural damage in the mri, and the team is optimistic he could return later next week. But there is another goat in town that would probably like to fill in. We caught up with tennis legend Roger Federer who says he is going to stick to the tennis court. Reporter curry may not play so they might need to. I love basketball. I cannot help them out. That is a pity if he misses out. I saw how he rolled it. It happened to me too in a really bad way. Yeah. I am very excited to go see the warriors play. I met the whole team in shanghai when they were doing their asia tour. Reporter where you like a little fan by then . No. I only want to see them in the locker rooms. This is the first time i am really seeing them play. I was a big sports fan growing up. You know . Michael jordan. Shaquille oneal. All that stuff was big for me. In college hoops, portland takes on San Francisco in the wcc finals, and one International Phenom will make his international debut. We have the story. Reporter the bay area is home to many famous basketball stars, but theres one you likely have not heard of. Now, enkhiinod may not be a famous name in the united states, but overseas he is a legend. Much louder when Mike Sharavjamts is on the floor. Probably half the crowd is there just for mongolian mike. Reporter that is what sharavjamts goes by. Mongolian mike. Only a 3 million population. Reporter mike may be just another College Basketball here but in his home country, he is a superstar. It has been great being recognized by them. Reporter he says the Mongolian Community in the bay area has made the transition easy. It feels more like home. You know . Reporter he gets recognized around the city and even has a traveling fan base. His fans are all over the place. We were at the Portland Game and there were 50 fans there just to interact with him. Reporter he is so laid back about the thing that the dawns hardly understand his importance to his country. That impact he really has. But the fans that come to see him, it is crazy. I dont think they quantify exactly what it means and just how special it is. Reporter s basketball roots begin as a young age. Light, he would say you enjoying every moment out here. Reporter the nba is his ultimate dream. I think he could be a firstround lottery pick. Reporter but never forgetting where he is from is the most important thing for mongolian mike. I am representing like a lot of mongolians. Coming up in our next half hour, numerals in San Francisco for batteries inside your home. The new restrictions, the Fire Department says, will restrict some house fires. From cbs news bay area, this is the evening addition. Now at 6 30, lithium ion batteries linked to hundreds of fires last year. One of them deadly. Now, the San FranciscoFire Department has new rules for how many you can have in your home. If you live in San Francisco and owned scooters, ebikes, and or skateboards, you may have to change the way you charge and or store your devices. Reporter the legislation effectively introduced a new set of Safety Standards for storing and charging personal mobility devices that are powered by lithium ion batteries. The hope is that the regulations will help keep people safe. With more people using electric bikes, scooters, and skateboards to get around San Francisco, that means there are more lithiumion batteries in the city and the fire lieutenant says the Fire Department is seeing more lithiumion batteryrelated fires as a result. I have been around fires that have happened due to mostly scooters. Reporter at the new safety effect in march. People living in a multiunit building, not singlefamily homes, are limited to four power mobility devices per household. When charging, they must be plugged into their own outlets, not power strips, and they must be at least three feet away from each other. Battery strips are also prohibited per the fire code. What we see is the potential for overcharging lithiumion batteries. They do not like to be in excessive heat. Reporter this is the aftermath of what is believed to be a lithium batterysparked fire in walnut creek last summer. This video shows a battery burst into flames in an Orange County garage in november, and the scene is from queens, new york, in january when a lithium battery exploded in an ebike shop in the store exploded into flames. These kind of fires are very tough to extinguish. It happens very quickly. And it limits the time people can get out because of the amount of smoke being produced. Last year, over 60 fires caused by lithium ion batteries in San Francisco and tragically our first death. Reporter it was a 2020 highrise fire in his district that first alerted him to this problem. There was a gentleman that had five electric scooters. One of the batteries combusted and spread to the other four scooters that were charging. Fortunately, nobody was killed but 14 apartments were displaced. Reporter the big picture . We dont want anyone to lose their life over anything, and that is one of the reasons why this new law is in effect. This also applies to Storage Facilities and repair shops. While they can charge more than four devices at the time, they will have to adapt and comply with the new practices. Animal advocates are calling on the need for golden gate to shut down after the death of another horse. The group called direct action everywhere. The track has had a history of horses dying on the track over the years. Just last week, a threeyearold filly died while training. The field is set to close down in june, but activists are skeptical that the field will follow through what the plan. We have been calling to shut down the field for years now, protesting after horse dies continuously and we have to keep coming out here because forces keep dying. It absolutely cannot come a day too soon. We have reached out to Golden Gate Fields for a comment but have not heard back yet. A man isin Critical Condition after he was hit by a car in san jose this morning. It happened in central san jose at about 6 00 a. M. Please temporary closed off 7th street while they investigated the rec. They did not say anything about the circumstances leading up to that crash. A new update on California Forever. The group behind the project has released a new map and new pictures. Reporter it is the Solano County our kids deserve. Responding to feedback, California Forever shares were exactly they plan to build their new 1800 acre city. To the east, ill be on our cities, there is land rated the worst for agriculture in all of Solano County. Reporter a new tv ad with old messaging, and it is not sitting well with some who say they were bullied by the billionaire backers to sell off their land. Walkable middle class neighborhoods with homes we can afford. This is about their money. Hey, we have a great way to make a buck. Lets go do this project. Reporter at a california meeting, they had a plan first rolling parks, more jobs, and a better way of life. Clearly, this is a moneymaking project for those who need more money. Reporter a concern though is how close it would be to Travis Air Force base. A new version of the plans shows a revised have a security zone shown here in yellow and a parkland zone in green. Both areas offering a buffer between the proposed community and the base. This after complaints that construction would interrupt military operations. Where a new community can rise. Reporter a rising city in the regenerate dead and for California Forever . The group is hoping to get 13,000 signatures from Solano County voters. It would likely face years of Environmental Review before construction could begin. s the recent snowstorms dropped as much as 100 inches of snow. It all happened on the tail end of the warmest february ever recorded on earth and we are already seeing signs of an early spring. In this edition of project earth, kelsey explains a possible reason behind the weather whiplash. Reporter it was a monster blizzard. We are trying to get out but i think we are stuck here tonight. Reporter the storm slammed california with heavy snow, raging winds, and heavy whiteout conditions. But the aftermath, simply ethic. In just days, 6 to 10 feet of snow fall. We went from zero to 100 pretty fast. Reporter we have yet to dig ourselves out from the bigger problem. It may be hard to fathom but this blockbuster blizzard may have links to our warming planet. Experts believe that Global Warming may be charging some of our snowstorms while boosting the risk for a rapid snow melt. Climate changes affecting the underlying set of possibilities of what the weather system as possible of doing. Reporter at Berkeley National lab, his research involves hydro climate extremes and snow dynamics in particular. This blizzard got his attention. This was a very interesting storm. Reporter a warming planet should mean less snow but this was a lollapalooza of snowstorms. It really does highlight this conundrum that we see. Climate change is kind of causing two contracting forces at the same time. Reporter with this blizzard, cold arctic air made a beeline to california. It warmed traveling over the pacific ocean, warming in part due to climate change. The higher temperatures in the ocean and air allowed it to hold more water. So the Ocean Temperatures are warm right now so this cold temperature that move down from the Bering Strait picked up heat and moisture as it was moving across the pacific. Reporter creating a warmer, wetter strong that was still below freezing. Jones is still keeping his eye on the snowpack and with good reason. February was the ninth straight month in a row to be the warmest on record globally. Because overall conditions are warmer, that snow might melt faster than normal. Cannot he is aiming for new strategies to capture excess water and aim it underground. He also says it is not too late to slow down climate change. We have to be aware of the changes and prepare for them. Reporter so we can weather any storm. Not only the snow but the rain. It has been a rainy couple of years. Do we have enough groundwater to get to any drought . How the state is using helicopters. And celebrating International Womens day. All hands on deck at the Lawrence Hall and science center. This is all part of uc berkeleys event for International Womens day. Uc Berkeley Students volunteered offering a fun way to get kids interested in different s. T. E. M. Fields. It was just very funny in general seeing like little kids interact with things handson. It is like engineering. That is what they are trying to do. The student tell us that while uc berkeley engineering is just about 30 female, it is a supportive environment. The society of engineers is working to makes s. T. E. M. More inclusive. Kaiser is hoping to encourage a career in healthcare. Students came out to cal state east bay to learn what it means to be in the health field. Even workshops like learning cpr, learning surgical demonstrations, and they even got some advice from doctors about applying to medical school. It has been shown that if you have physicians who look like you, same experiences, same culture, the patients actually engage more and are more likely to come into employment. And they will be more humble and culturally appropriate and to the end is to decrease blood disparities in things we see like blood pressure, cancers, and heart disease. She says she never knew a black doctor before becoming one herself and now hopes to serve as an example for the next generation. Coming up next on cbs bay area, it has been a hub in the music area of San Francisco and we look at the expansion. And the technology the state is using to measure groundwater. There is two more of these coming. We will all get rain out of that one for sunday. I will tell you when and how much. Welcome back. Well, when the rain we have gotten percolates underground it adds vastly to the aquifers. But how do we tap into that water . Well, the department of Water Resources has a plan. Reporter there is water down there but what is it doing . Reporter the department of Water Resources is tapping into all the potential resources underground underground water that is. The first phase of the project has been completed, and the data is ready to be shared. The helicopters towing a large hoop that sends signals into the ground that bounce off different types of materials. The sands, silts, and gravels that are below the ground. Reporter the signal penetrates 1000 feet below the ground. It is like a mri for the ground. They have been able to add miles of data across groundwater basins. I saw that helicopter. We talked about it in our water district. It is amazing, the technology, that you can see underground. Groundwater is huge in the state of california. Reporter he says having a mapping system of Realtime Data is a game changer. We have a water moving problem. We have a water storing problem. We have not built any storing systems in california since the mid60s. We are trying to benefit and help local agencies. Reporter the data shows what the benefits are, what water moves through what the trails, and what may be best for future infrastructure. Future droughts. Future floods. Longterm climate change. It is preparing california and local communities to be able to face the future that we know is coming. Years ago, california voters approved funding for a new reservoir, and that project is finally underway. The sites reservoir will be north of the san joaquin delta. The site would actually be the eighth largest reservoir in california and would help up to 4 1 2 million californians. They are still working on some key clearances, but after that construction should start around 2026. All right. It seems like we were just telling people it is time to turn their clocks back and now we are telling them to right. Spring forward. I have got to talk about two rainmakers and then a significant warm up. I have got to go. There is a lot of stuff to cover. This is tonight. 2 00 a. M. And this is spring forward. Most of your clocks are going to do this automatically any way. But do not forget the dash on your older car and the older microwaves and all that stuff, but i think we are getting past that phase now. This is a system that kind of fell apart. We do get rain from this. It happened in the north bay and they came through at about 10 00, 11 00 in the morning. Look at that line of rain falling apart just as it got to the golden gate. We got about 1 11 of an inch of rain today. We also managed to bring out a little bit of rain. The mountains on the Santa Clara Valley, that was about it. Tomorrow, it is going to do a better job. Sunday it does not rain. This does not get here until the evening. You see where this thing is now . We will put that futurecast in it and bring it forward. The Storm Centers going to our north by so many of these do and we are going to experience this little southern edge. Here is why i will say most of sunday you are not going to get rained on. That does not even make it to the central part of Sonoma County until sunset. 7 00 tomorrow, we see that rain go to santa rosa. It gets to the golden gate and does hold together as we get towards it 009 00. Then it does make it to the Santa Clara Valley as it starts falling apart. Then it gets there around midnight and it is done. Lets do that. This is all pretty much confined to sunday evening. This is all pretty much confined to santa rosa. In san jose, there is more snow coming, not only from tomorrows system but from the one on Tuesday Morning. So this is a combination of the two. But any travel because of these two systems, winter storm watch in the sierra. Perhaps another foot of snow coming to donner pass. And i think we are so now i dont know taken back by the intensity of this last one was several feet. Eight feet up there. When you hear a foot, that is not a big deal. It is for travel. Anyone who has got to get over the sierra, that will slow you down. They probably will not close it down. You are definitely going to need chains. That one comes late monday into Tuesday Morning. Lets slow it down and time it now. So most of monday you do not get rained on until monday night. So this is late monday. See how it intensifies as we go into the late hours. This is more the predawn hours of tuesday. Then bay Tuesday Morning it is time. So in terms of Tuesday Morning commutes, there will be some slick roads but you likely will not be getting rained on during the tuesday commute. This is the one late monday night into tuesday that is done by the time we get into sunrise. Then after that we look ahead towards next weekend and there is a strong signal of a noticeable warmup coming our way. Watch the temperatures go from below average to trending to above average. You maybe do not notice anything too dramatic when you look at San Francisco and oakland numbers although it is going to be 72 in San Francisco on friday. You noticed that. And when you look at the numbers for inland east bay, you will be going to 76, but it is the numbers that stand out most in san jose. You are a couple degrees shy of 80 bite next weekend.
