Look for a chilly evening. We have a long Holiday Weekend. And an outlook that will take us all the way through january to see if theres any rain coming our way. Eric. Lisa, thank you very much. We have breaking news out of san jose where crews are battling a massive fire at a coffee shop this morning. The four alarm blaze broke out just before 6 30 at the flames coffee shop in hills day avenue. No injuries are reported and no word on when may have caused the fire. Developing news out of marin county. A wildfire burning out of fairfax this morning is now 50 contained. Fire was reported along the Fairfax Ridge line near alpine lake around 9 20 last night. Officials say its an unusual place for a fire. But the remote location means theres no need to evacuate homes so far and crews have had a tough time get to go the fire. Flames reported at 9 00 last night at a house. A fire started in the garage and eventually moved to the attic. Flames melted an Electrical Panel but the two people inside got out okay. Governor jerry brown has declared a brought emergency. He is urging residents to begin conserving by as much as 20 . We live in an area of limits, nature has its boundaries and we have to be as efficient and eloquent in the way this we live and the which we conduct ourselves. The declaration will expedite water transfers, provide transfer aid for those hit hardest and suspend some federal regulations. For a list of which is to save water, go to our website under see it on tv. The drought emergency has officials in marin county repeating their calls for conservation, but it does not include transforming water into drinkable water. This is a system captured to recycle much of the water you see. They have been through droughts before. For instance, once dirt is removed, that water is used to clean wheels and rims. The nozzles have devices to reduce the amount of spray, then the latest drought hit. When the crisis was coming to a head, we had our mechanic come in and finetune the system, so to speak. Marin county has always been extremely dependent on rain. The Water District started draining phoenix lake, one of its reserves reservoirs. A few years ago it explored the option of building a desalination plant. That was on the San Rafael Bay to help with the water supply. But some argued it would create its own waste. Gov. Browns declaration has now kickstarted that plan. Desal is more longrange, but not for this drought. Thats for the next drought. I think what is happening with the current drought its something we definitely need to look at again. A plant to convert salt water could cost millions and take years to build. Marin is just trying to survive the immediate crisis. In marin county, john alston, abc7 news. Its 8 04 now. We learned the name of a teenage bicyclist who was hit and killed by a light rail train yesterday. 14yearold Danica Tyler Garcia was rushed to the hospital but died from her injury.

A single engine plane was taking off when it suddenly lost engine power, the pilot lost control and it crashed into another plane waiting on the taxiway waiting to take off. The three people were not injured. A San Francisco man looking for his stolen bike discovered what he believes to be a chop shop. Thats where thieves break down bikes and sell the parts. The plan said hes of very little response from police so now hes turning to social media. Nick smith has more on a story you will only see on abc7. San franciscans love their bikes, and so do thieves. I had a bunch of bikes stolen. Kevin montgomery said it was either wednesday night or thursday morning when thieves made off with bikes belonging to him and his roommates. These bikes are part of a growing list of bikes stolen in San Francisco. I went around the neighborhood looking at chop shops and i went to look for my bike. Theres one right behind us. What he found was a stack of bikes stripped to their frames, so he snapped pictures and tweeted the photos to sfpd. They strip the parts off, put the frames in stacks and put components in bins and load them up in vans and take them out of town. When we went to the same spot of stacks, they were gone. What we found was a man seated under the central freeway using tools to remove the wheels from at least two bikes. According to the police department, more than 4,000 bikes were stolen from the city in 2012. There are 96 more bicycles in San Francisco than they were in 2007 and more will come. Police tell us theres a bicycle theft ring that operates in and around the civic center and there are chop shops throughout the city. We have no evidence these bikes were stolen and neither does kevin, but he said the numbers dont lie. It seems awful weird piles of bikes, that at least 50 would be sitting under an underpass being cut up and loaded in a van. In San Francisco, nick smith, abc7 news. Court documents reveal the man charged with intentionally setting a string of fires in san jose led police to locations where he said he set the fires. 48yearold Patrick Brennan waived his arraignment yesterday afternoon.

If convicted on the current charges, he faces several life sentences. Brennan is expected to enter a plea next month.

A live look from our emeryville camera toward the west. You can see the haze weve been talking about this morning. Lisa argen has been are tracking t its a sparetheair day and she will tell you more about that coming up. The 49ers have arrived in seattle ahead of tomorrows nfc championship game against the seahawks. This is video of the team getting off the bus late last night. Thats the grand hyatt hotel. Before they left the fans were there with a spirited sendoff for a team that needs just one more win to go back to the super bowl. Ama daetz has more. Reporter it was a festive farewell for the 49ers as the team began hits journey to seattle. The 49ers have the faithful to come out here and see them on the bus as they leave. At the airport, super fans helped with the sendoff. They have been cheering on the niners for years. He started when he was like ten, and i started when i married him, which was in 1968. And jeff howard said after the team lands in seattle, so will pam and john. Expectations are high. Mostly i would like to come back in one piece, given what i hear about how they like 49er fans up there. Other than that im looking for good offense, good defense, a good game. They were able to get tickets to the game in seattle despite the seahawks efforts to keep californians out. The organization excluded people from billing addresses in california from buying tickets. That didnt sit well with a lot of 49ers fans. The folks at lefty odoul in San Francisco is taking the high road. We are taking the high road. We practice good sportsmanship. When you cheat you lose. Sunday they will be checking i. D. S as usual, but also checking zip codes. We are going to do 49cent bloody marys for anybody who shows a seattle zip code. This washington couple will take advantage. We are here to watch the Football Game down here. Seahawks fans since 76. Hopefully they will be crying in those 49cent bloody marys come sunday night. Their field is known as the most hostile and distracting stadium in the league mainly because of the noise there. Wayne friedman looked into that. Diesel trucks, 75 decibels. [siren] 89 decibels. A human scream . As much as 115 decibels at a distance of three feet. Now imagine 60,000 mutually screaming fans at that level and you get a sense of when the what the 49ers face at century link field sunday. Note the meter, mr. Kaepernick. Its a little bit louder in seattle. Hence the loud speakers the 49ers have been blasting at recent practices and ear plugs worn by opposing players at the stadium. To hear the seahawks tell it. They designed their place to deflect sound and distract opponents. Century field has roof shapes to deflect the sound and construction to keep it circulating inside n the end zone it has 40 rows of aluminum bleachers, designed for maximum volume. Louder than thunder, they claim. A few weeks ago they set a sound record of almost 138 decibels on the scale. In comparison, a rock concert is only 120. The front row. 138 is violating federal osha standards. Is that literally deafening . Yes. So they must be lying. Well he designs buildings and he teaches acoustics at u. C. Berkeley. He said a structure can focus natural sound to a specific point, it can amplify that volume only so much. The optimum amplification is natural sound is made 3 to 5 decibels and you can amplify the signals to make it louder and louder using loud speakers. They dont do that, do they . I dont know. Do you think they might. Possibly. Not that we are accusing seattle of cheating. After all, the laws of physics were meant to be broken, right . Abc7 news.

In fact we could see a few 70s there again. Not mid70s. But the pattern continues to be dry with above normal readings throughout the first half of the work week. So you look at all these hs on the map and it pretty much tells the store with the jet stream well to the north and this big dome over much of all of california and much of the western third of the nation.

The Martin Luther king holiday usually means a big weekend for sierra ski resorts, but this year theres not much natural snow. Ski areas that make their own have a big advantage, and they are trying to get out the word. Even when skies are blue in the bay area, theres a blizzard almost every night at tahoe. In this mornings assignment 7 report, dan ashley shows us the fine art of making winter when there is none. Ski resorts have come a long way since they first started making snow in the 1950s. The basic system mixes cold air with water under High Pressure. The recipe for manmade snow is still essentially the same, but the process has evolved into a high stakes operation. Its a pretty sophisticated piece of machinery. Theres a control panel like this. The last major snowfall was back in september, so the resorts are spending big money to keep at least some slopes covered. Napa School TeacherBetsy Masterson skiing at heavenly for a couple weeks. The conditions are great. You wouldnt think that driving up with no snow on the ground, but they are doing such a great job grooming the runs and i just had a blast. Thats the kind of endorsement that keeps barrett warm. Even while hes making snow. Hes in charge of heavenlys snowmaking system, the largest one on the west coast. Hes been at it for 26 years. Ive been doing it a long time and im pretty passionate about it. This is what the mountain looks like in areas with no snow making. On the ski runs its a different story. Several feet of base and new snow on top. Only about 20 of heavenly is open, but the mountain is so big, theres still 14 miles of trails open for skiing and snowboarding, and more expected to open the next few days. Heavenly is owned by vail resorts. They note that their attendance is down 20 compared to last year, but many told us theres enough snow to have fun. Snow conditions were really good. Nice and warm and sunny. Could use a little more snow but im not complaining because its sweatshirt weather. Heavenlys system includes more than 200 snow guns that shoots snow on to the slopes. Miles of pipes connect the guns to reservoirs that supply the water. On a good night we are pumping about 6,000 gallons a minute. Monitored by a elaborate Computer System with detailed readings whats happening all over the mountain. And in case the snow isnt enough to get here, heavenly is working to turn the mountain into a party spot. A giant grooming machine has been transformed into a traveling dj platform. Oh, yeah, bringing the good vibes. When the slopes close in the afternoon, a midmountain large starts a party with dancing girls, discounted drinks and crazy creatures who happen to show up. I would recommend put on your best costume, come up here and have a good time. Dan ashley, abc news. It is 8 33. New this morning president obama says he believes 2014 could be a breakthrough year for america. In his weekly address he said the u. S. Is primed to bring back jobs lost in the recession or to overseas competitors, but to make that happen the u. S. Must act to create good paying jobs and increase economic opportunity. The president also says that when congress doesnt act, he will. Where congress isnt acting, ill act on my own to put opportunity within reach for anyone who is willing to work for it.

Nineyearold bottle nose Dolphin Bella is getting to know her first born, maribela, now 8 days old. We have a bonded mom and baby and shes taken up motherhood perfectly. Maribell is the first female born dolfin discovery kingdom in years. She weighed in at 25 pounds. This video from six flags shows the actual birth. A relatively easy process, it appears, compared to what other mammals endure. They have the nice, soft, torpedoshaped baby to give birth too. Bella made it look like a piece of cake. She barely had a contraction and the baby came out flukes first, which is normal with dolphins. When bella was pregnant she got the attention of researchers because of the whistling sound she made apparently directed at her unborn fetus. Bella would come into a pool, separate herself from other dolfins and make known what is called the signature whistle or the baby whistle. What we found out its almost as if bella was imprinting with her baby prior to the birth. As it is now, the baby and mom are having quiet time, get to know each other, but all under the watchful eye of a trainer. The trainer notes each time she nurses her baby to make sure the baby is getting enough nourishment. The pair will be allowed their privacy a little while longer. Guests can start seeing bella and her calf starting january 25th and 26th. She is third generation. Her grandmother is 34 years old. In vallejo, laura anthony, abc7 news. Its 8 37.

That puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years, jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto. Like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesnt require routine blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. Not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. Get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto. Onceaday xarelto means no regular blood monitoring no known dietary restrictions.

Below freezing in some parts of the north bay. Lisa argen knows exactly where and she will tell you coming up. But despite that picture, california is in the midst of what could be the worst dry spell in more than a century, and the governor is urging us all to begin conserving. So how can we cut back on our water use for 20 . Heres abc7 News Reporter jonathan bloom. Reporter your showerhead might use two and a half gallons of water per minute. Imagine ten people came over and took a shower at your house . Thats basically what happens when you water your lawn. In our service area half of our water deliveries goes to landscape and half goes to lawns. Reporter thats why Contra Costa County says lose the lawn and they will pay for it, up to 500 bucks. You have to have an existing lawn, but we allow it to have varying colors from tan to green. You have to have an existing sprinkler system. If you do, they will by 50 cents a square foot to replace it a dripirrigated garden with drought tolerant plants. Local nurseries are full of them, some native to california. They are actually becoming quite the rage. Its really become a big trend. I expect to take out a great deal of lawn the next six months. This landscaper wrote a book on saving water. Shes watched the bulk of her business go from planting lawns to ripping them out, like she did in her back yard. A couple years ago i looked at it and said, im tired of mowing, im tired of weeding and watering, and im ready to do something different. Shes ready to do the front yard too. She said that can be a sentimental goodbye. I have a lot of clients hesitant at first because its hard to change your green aesthetic. In other words, its change what you have been seeing for years and years. You grew up with a lawn, you mowed the lawn, it was part of a whole ritual. But, in fact, she said people dont really use lawns. Ever been told to keep off the grass . I think the animals and pets use them more than anybody else. But lulu adjusted fine to this new landscape. Water managers say so do people. They love their gardens. More than out there more often than with lawns because they are enjoying their gardens. Jonathan bloom, abc7 news.
