6:07 pm
and sunday. we'll continue to bring youupdates of the shooting right here on cbsn bay area as well as the cbs news app and our website, kpix.com. in other news tonight, the price of everything went up over the past year because of the inflation and utility bills are no exception. our amanda stain tee know spoke with a family experiencing sticker shock over pge prices. >> just had to have a band new furnace put in. more energy efficient. we were kind of excited about that. >> reporter: debbie keeps her martinez home at a low temperature. >> it's at 66. that's pretty much the high. >> reporter: she watches how hot the water gets and runs her appliances as little as possible and during nonpeak times. >> run the dishwasher half empty or anything. we're very cognizant. >> reporter: and monitors how much gas her family is using to try to keep the bills down. >> i might as well just boil dollar bills. for all the gas -- i have no idea what that
6:08 pm
costs but i know it's a lot. >> reporter: even with price increases all over the place right now, her december bill was still a tough pill to swallow. especially when her usage this year was on par to last year. >> so last year, at the same time, with the same bill, the gas charges were $191. this year, $386. so that's a pretty big increase. >> reporter: debbie says she's not surprised by the price but is concerned for our neighbors who are going to have to make some hard decisions. >> they're going to have to decide are we going to eat today or turn on the heater. >> reporter: why? >> being driven by higher demand. and tighter supplies of natural gas on the west coast. >> reporter: the u.s. energy information administration reports that we are currently paying two to nine times more than people in cold climates like chicago and new york. >> few years ago we reported on it as kpix. due to pipeline
6:09 pm
improvements and storage issues. is that part of this increase as well? or is it straight up just the increased natural gas prices? >> the increase that our customers going to see on their winter bills is what we are seeing with the natural gas prices. market prices have gone up because of inflation and all the other issues that we've seen during the pandemic. and it's especially affecting our customers on the west coast compared to new york and chicago just because we're seeing cooler than normal temperatures and demandic creased about 26% compared to the prior five year average. >> reporter: she has these suggestions to lower your next bill. lower the thermostat every degree lower on it can save you 2% on your heating bill. set your water heater at 120 degrees and any degree above will cost you more. wash clothes in cold water, sign up for bill alerts and you can be notified when your usage starts to hit that threshold you set
6:10 pm
for the month. >> pg&e doesn't mark up the prices, it pays for natural gas or electricity. what we pay are customers pay. >> we have completely lost trust in pg&e. with -- between the fires and then their rolling blackouts and we can't bring you electrical power today and then they have commercials. what? who's paying for those commercials? we're paying for those commercials. >> reporter: she expects to pay even more on her next bill. >> we did reach out to pg&e to ask where they get the funding for the commercials and marketing. we have yet do hear back. they say that customers can expect an increase of about 24% from december to february. that amounts to about $67 on average. in other kind of related news, environmental groups are fighting the decision to slash financial incentives for rooftop solar. last month the puc decided to reduce payments to solar customers for the electricity the customers generate with the panels. regulators said the old system
6:11 pm
allowed solar power owners to pass on the costs of maintaining the grid. three groups have filed an application for a rehearing hoping for a reversal of that decision. straight ahead in sports, this hour, believe it or not, there's actually other action that has occurred outside of this stadium in santa clara. like the snowy conditions in western new york. looks like we're going to have a familiar name. two familiar names in the afc championship game.

6:19 pm
6:20 pm
welcome back. overnight house fires have displaced 31 people from their homes in san francisco. fire started just before 2:00 this morning and spread to two homes on hay street. one firefighter was hurt and taken to the emergency room. but is expected to be all right. nobody else was hurt. there was a second fire this morning in san francisco where six people were displaced. and a two car crash in the mission left one man dead early and morning. this happened at 16th and paterero. the victim died at the hospital. police say the surviving driver of the crash is a suspect in a hit and run that happened just moments before at 16th and cap streets. a pedestrian was taken to -- was hit and taken to the
6:21 pm
hospital. that pedestrian did survive. the driver has been arrested. elon musk will be back on the stand in the morning defending the old tweet of his amid the ongoing securities fraud trial. the class action lawsuit coming from tesla investors claims a false musk tweet from 2018 sent the company's stock price crashing and cost them their money. the tweet about funding and ownership of tesla has already been proven false. the prosecution suggests the tweet is the reason for their losses while musk argues his tweets don't have that much power. other news, the a.c.e. train will be up and running for the monday morning commute. all trains will run tomorrow. union pacific will be out ahead of the a.c.e. trains inspecting the tracks. and traffic is now moving in both directions on highway 92. you remember that huge sinkhole is still there. but after days of being closed, caltrans has found a way to
6:22 pm
divert traffic around it. the sinkhole is near the intersection of 92 and skyline up there near the stop. caltrans says it's now 15 feet wide and 10 feet deep. lots of people out at ocean beach earlier enjoying some of the sun and just south from there, our max darrow captured look from pacifica pier where you can see the massive waves in action. the king tide warning is in effect until tomorrow afternoon. >> and mr. peck is here with what's ahead in general after this windy night. >> it's going to be right at noon tomorrow when the king tides peek. near the coast, you see the low-lying areas, one more day. the wind is a bigger issue. let's start with that. it's breezy night out there for most of us. if you are down at the lower elevations where the majority of us live. it's been like 15, 20-mile an hour breeze but it's been lot stronger than that in the mountains. just picked up over the last about five hours and you can see the areas on the map in purple show you where the strongest gusts are. just went ahead to the 10:00 hour. take a look at the
6:23 pm
peaks, 36 mount diablo and 50 up on -- st. helena. so these are strong offshore winds. and they're going to be felt stronger in the mountains but we will get breezy down at the lower elevations where we all live. no doubt you felt that at least to some degree today. then the wind advisory is going to be allowed to expire by tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. the primary concern with this is still the chance for some downed trees. we're not getting rain with this system. but the ground is still just saturated and the trees are stressed from the drought and you can easily have another downed tree or two. bay area-wide. something to keep an eye on. just be very aware of the surroundings overnight tonight. here's the coastal flood advisory and look at the times here. monday. already had the high tide for sunday and saturday obviously. monday's happens at 12:01. that's generic. not the same time everywhere in the bay but just a general idea. right around noon tomorrow is when we can expect more of the inundation if we had any. going
6:24 pm
to be cold again tomorrow morning. not as cold as we were. each morning over the last two days has gotten a little bit warmer than the morning before it. and tomorrow keep that trend going. there are a couple of mid 30s on here. like santa rosa and sonoma and you get over into the inland valleys. there's livermore going to 35 and it will be 30 in san jose. but there are also a lot more low 40s mixed in tomorrow. so no freeze warning. and the afternoon looks great. we're going to warm right back up to 63-degrees and plenty of sunshine and if we look at the big picture, the storm track of course is not coming through california anymore. look at that storm right there. just kind of gets stuck and spin its wheels and then fall apart. but taking this to the end of january, you can see the next little system here tries to get in and then on february 1st another one. so the pattern going to stay just like it is right now. where it's blocking all the storms from getting here until we get to the last couple of days of january and more noticingly into early february. you can see it when we look at the big block in the atmosphere, there's that big center of high pressure. that's what's keeping the storms away.
6:25 pm
but that kind of drifts as we get towards late january. and then watch what happens. we start to get into the cooler shades that shows you the low pressure starts to take over. storms redevelop here early february. so we're getting a nice long break. but just looking down the road, as we get into early february now, the pattern does look like it's going to go back into allow rain but it does not look like what it did in early january. these would be colder storms coming out of the gulf of alaska and not be the kind that would be too terribly impactful from heavy rainfall. but they could be cold and good snowmakers in the sierra. but it's too early to tell really. i'm -- i should not be trying to give them too many distintive cartistics just yet. there's the 7 day forecast. it's going to be warmer by the middle of this coming week. mid 60s for daytime highs and the wind will be better by tomorrow night. all right, brian, over to you. >> all right. thanks darren. coming up in the next half hour we check in with 49er fans
6:26 pm
who are biting their nails down at levi's stadium. plus, san francisco parents reunited with the paramedics who saved their toddler's life after an accidental fentanyl overdose in a city park. and covid-19 concerns may have taken a backseat to the recent storms but the most infectious variant yet is picking up steam. experts weigh in on the prognosis for covid in 2023. >> we may have to live with covid in our environment for the next several years. and rebel you can watch us anytime, anywhere on our streaming service, cbs news bay area. catch all of our live newscasts plus news and weather updates throughout the day. you can find us on the free cbs news app or on pluto tv. channel 397. everyone is making room mom? for the medicine cabinet's new essential. binaxnow -- with the same technology doctors use to test for covid-19.

now at 6:30, a live look at levi's stadium where 49ers wrapping up the divisional playoff match-up against the dallas cowboys. a rivalry that dates back decade. in fact, this is the ninth time they've faced each other in the playoffs. >> that's tied for the most of any match-up. da lin talked to fans excited about this renewed rivalry. he joins us live from levi's. what's it lockout there right now. >> reporter: exciting and also very nervous because it's been a close game all game long. the niners up by a touchdown right now. but there's still some time left and a lot of fans still inside cheering and screaming for every. over every big play on the field. before the game, we were able to check out the tailgating parties in
6:30 pm
the parking lot. check it out. 49ers' fans know how to party. fans turned the parking lot into a big dance floor. they had deejays, bars, and food. >> you can closure eyes and feel the electricity in the air about this rivalry. >> reporter: niner fan charles davis says he's hated the dallas cowboys ever since deion sanders in the '90s left the 49ers to join the cowboys. >> i can't stand the cowboys. out there, i bought a cowboys' hat and threw it down and stomped on it. i said bro, let me buy a cowboys hat. threw it down and stomped on it. >> reporter: he couldn't miss the game and he had to see it enperson. >> the tickets were the most expensive i have ever had. never paid $500 for a ticket but i didn't -- >> reporter: where are the seats at? >> standing room only. # hundred dollars to stand up. i don't have a seat. i'm not going to sit here and cap like i have first row. paid $500 for standing room only. >> reporter: as much as he
6:31 pm
hates the cowboys, is irony is some of the closest friends are cowboys' fans. in fact, he was tailgating with them. >> we have a bet right now. the loser has to use -- take pictures of the opposite team's jersey and make it their facebook profile picture for a week. >> reporter: he made that bet with his buddy. >> we're all family and friends and we love each other. doesn't matter who wins. still going to love each other at the end of the day. >> friendship runs deeper than the game, right? >> reporter: there's a live look just right outside of levi's stadium and you can see the fans starting to leave stadium here but it's still is a very close game as mentioned earlier. niners up by touchdown but still some time left on the clock but lot of folks, maybe the folks are very confident about the team. about the niners. we shall see. for now live here at the stadium. right back to you guys. >> before it gets too crazy out there. thanks. nearly months ago at a san
6:32 pm
francisco park, paramedics saved a toddler from an accidental fentanyl overdose. and today, the family got together with the first responders who saved the day. devin fehely has that story. >> by the time i arrived, you know, all i say was he was laying flat on his back and they were, you know, had a breathing apparatus on his face. assisting him with breathing. you know, apparently he was completely blue. >> reporter: he says he will never forget the nightmarish day he nearly lost his son to a fentanyl overdose and be grateful for the quick thinking firefighters and par neddics who saved his son's life. >> they knew all the signs and, you know, decided to administer narcan. and just -- he just popped back, you know, almost instantly after that. >> reporter: the recovery was just as quick as the onset of symptoms. simple day at the park with his nanny and twin brother that nearly went astray. after he stopped
6:33 pm
breathing turned blue. the paramedics say they had to ignore the patient's age and allow themselves to believe the evidence of their eyes. >> somebody who wasn't responsive and stopped breathing was very characteristic of a possible opioid overdose and also to be frank this is not my first pediatric overdose. >> reporter: the mystery was how he was exposed but once they administered narcan, his condition improved almost in a heartbeat. >> within ten seconds, he started breathing. opened his eyes and looked right at me. kind of scanned the room. or scanned the back of the ambulance and then -- started crying. >> reporter: the twins who just turned 1 may never truly know how close they came to tragedy. they visited the fire house and their heroes this afternoon. but their parents know that a little boy blue and not breathing was pulled from the brink and because of that, will live to celebrate many more birthdays. >> we're just super thankful that, you know, they knew what to do in that moment.
6:34 pm
>> reporter: now live look at san francisco. this mast week, we learned that had an accidental overdose or rather that accidental overdose deaths have declined in the city. for the second year in a row. the city health department recorded 620 accidental drug overdose deaths in 2022. that's compared to 640 in 2021. and even more back in 2020. most of the deaths involved fentanyl and the city is crediting thedy klein to its efforts treatment programs. concerns about covid have taken a backseat in recent weeks but a highly contagious variant of omicron is spreading quickly. the latest data shows xbb 15 accounts for 43% of all the cases now in the u.s. as for california, you can see in this chart, we are well below the winter omicron spike of 2022. the average number of reported covid-19 cases is trending down since its recent
6:35 pm
peak last december. more accurate wastewater numbers show more of a plateau. so how do we handle covid in 2023? max darrow talked with an infectious disease specialist who thinks this year will be all about finding a balance. >> reporter: when he's not busy in his office at mills-peninsula medical center, specialist dr. kim ehrlich is on the hospital floor with patients. >> oak, great. >> reporter: this patient didn't have covid. but he says as we start 2023 -- >> like every facility in california we have been seeing an increase in the number of patients presenting with covid. >> reporter: there are different this is year than in previous years such as -- >> the patients who are presenting are not nearly as sick as they used to be athree years ago. >> reporter: and there are treatment options readily available. paxlovid has been game changer. >> the drug is superior to no treatment at all in preventing somebody from having to come to the energy department and getting admitted to the hospital. >> reporter: but -- he says learning to live with covid
6:36 pm
doesn't mean pretending it doesn't exist anymore. to him it means finding balance between taking safety precautions and going about daily life. >> finding that balance is what we're going to be looking for over the next 12 months i suspect. we may have to live with covid in our environment for the next several years. >> reporter: covid is still prevalent in our community here in the bay area. and the best way to get a sense of how much so is by looking at the wastewater. the reason it's a biological sample of the entire community. and at stanford university, that's professor's area of expertise. running so-called scan project where her team does extensive surveillance for covid-19 and other pathogens in wastewater in all over bay area. >> the concentrations inin wast quite high. but the levels are not going up. they're pretty steady or declining. which is good news. but they are still
6:37 pm
present and they are still quite high. >> reporter: and she says mixed in is the newest and most contagious covid karen yet. xbb 1.5. seeing what she sees in the data, her approach to 2023 at this point. >> reporter: i mean with the knowledge i have -- >> i like to mask when i go into crowded public spaces. like grocery stores. and when i'm not in crowded spaces when i'm outdoors i don't mask. >> reporter: back at the hospital, it may be a new year. but ehrlich shared advice from the previous few. >> try to stay safe. get vaccinated. wear masks when appropriate. stay home when sick. >> reporter: advice likely repeating throughout 2023. still ahead here at 6:00, the surge of pet adoptions during covid-19 has fizzled and now bay

6:40 pm
as you might have known, during the pandemic, lot of people adopted a pet but three years later many of the people are now returning to work. and others are having a tough time financially and they cannot afford to keep their pets. the result? shelters across the bay area are experiencing unprecedented overcrowding and as our itay hod reports it's forcing animal shelters into some hard choices. >> hello there. good boy. >> reporter: whenever sherry franklin feels a little overwhelmed. all she has to do is go nose to nose with one of her 92 dogs. and within seconds -- she's slobbered with reassurance. >> when i bring home one of these dogs, they are incredibly grateful. so perfect. >> reporter: 15 years ago after volunteering at the animal shelter, sherry noticed all the senior dogs there were getting passed over. >> some of them got euthanized just because they were not getting adopted. >> reporter: so she decided to
6:41 pm
open her very own rescue called muttville. specifically tailored to man's oldest friend. >> oh my gosh. >> reporter: since then, she's saved more than 10,000 of san francisco's scraggliest and most grateful pooches. >> but they are so full and so cuddly. >> reporter: even though she's at full capacity, today, she is saving two more dogs. >> it's hard for us to even take a breath. oh. >> reporter: and animal shelters across the bay area are scrambling to accommodate an unprecedented influx of dogs coming through the doors with some considering euthanasia for the first time in years. katie jones is the rescue coordinator at the san francisco animal care and control. which only uses euthanasia in cases of extreme health or behavioral issues. in just the last year, katie has seen 84% uptick in

6:43 pm
well as those beautiful german shepherds with san francisco animal care and control. all you have to do is go to kpix.com. and coming up, a major positive from one of our recent waves of winter storms. >> california's water turnaround is remarkable and nowhere is it more important than here at shasta. we show you how the water is rising and how locals are hoping to get a lot more out of this winter. and we missed out on the storm that's bringing astound right now. instead talk about why we've got the offshore wind scenario tonight. we have a wind advisory bay area-wide until tomorrow then the long-range. there's now another chance of rain way out there. we

6:47 pm
other. saying go niners. because this was a nail biting of a game. it was a very close game. the cowboys hung on very closely to the niners. but they were able to pull away so yeah, big sense of relief here. now i did talk to one fan who spent about $500 for a standing room ticket. so it was a very expensive ticket. but a lot of happy niner fans now leaving this stadium. it's going to take them about 30, 40 minutes at least to get out of the area because of all the traffic. but nonetheless, i think that's going to be a happy drive back home. >> well, i wonder if he thought it was worth it. it was a pretty good game. >> very good game. yeah. >> good for them. >> stand for $500. >> off to philly now. >> the fact his team won, all worth it. >> absolutely. thanks da. and philly, i wonder what the weather is going to be like in philly. or sorry, is that irrelevant because it's indoors
6:48 pm
at philly? >> it is i think. >> you are the sports expert here, i'm looking at you. >> let me look that up. i think it is. >> yeah. okay. anyway. >> i don't think it is. >> the niners are winning anyway. they're going to the super bowl this year. so i think -- really the details don't matter all that much. never losing again at this rate is basically the point the way it's been going. it's windy out there tonight and that's one aspect of this forecast i want to focus on first before i talk about when we might see the next chance of rain in the long-range. we have to go pretty far to find it but already seeing signs of when that might come back, but first here's the issue with the wind. brighter to colors, the stronger the winds and look how it's outlined along the ridge stops here in the peninsula. east bay hills. these are offshore winds and they're coming at us from the northeast and those are stronger in the mountains. it's windy down at the lower elevations where we live but the bigger risk from this tonight is for downed trees where the winds are the strongest up in the hills. and there's a wind advisory because of this. stays in effect until 7:00 in the morning. you can have a dumped tree anywhere in
6:49 pm
the bay area. any tree. the 25-mile an hour gust could do it. just be really aware of the surroundings tonight. even not which, why are we he wind is getting windy not getting any of the rain? because this storm went inside. look where it snows over the course of 24 hours. that storm had to go around the big block in the atmosphere keeping the rain out of here. it finally comes back down and delivers snow to the interior of the intermountain west but we feel it passes from the winds and we don't get the winds coming on shore like we did with all the storms in january. those are offshore winds coming from the other way. anyway, that's the wind. tomorrow morning's lows are going to be little bit better. than they have been for the last few months and don't have from freeze tomorrow. but there are going to be some mid 30s and when we pull out the details especially for the north bay valleys you can see that. 35 in sonoma. 37 santa rosa and it will be 38 in walnut creek and going down to 35 livermore and it will be 38 in fremont and warm up to 60
6:50 pm
degrees for the daytime high tomorrow. monday is going to be just fine. plenty of sunshine and temperatures a little above average. and we're going to keep warming up from there. in fact we're going to be -- some of the warmer spots inland are going to be mid 60s tuesday and wednesday. all the while the storm track is not here knew. if you watch what's going on, nothing can get here. look at that storm. but we see systems creeping around the northern edge of it as we get into early february. the big block in the atmosphere now, slowly migrates off to the north as we get towards the later part of this month into early february. and that will allow some of these systems to try and get in here february 1st-ish. i mean that word taking us ahead to early february before we see the possibility of coloring the map with rain next time. not happening in the next seven days but at this point it looks like the last day, two of the month we might see a weak little system come in. then the pattern could become more favorable to rain coming back early february but what we can
6:51 pm
see of the storms already. they don't look anything like the powerful storms that were coming our way through early january. these would be colder storms and maybe better snow makers in the sierra and then gentler rain. we'll see. there's the 7 day forecast. and there's that warm-up. north bay valleys will be in the mid 60s. >>okay. thanksof the week. all . >>well, up next, the storms might be behind us for now but many of the state's largest reservoirs continue to rise. we'll look at the levels and what it means for businesses
6:52 pm
6:53 pm
well, here's something we haven't seen in a while. the entire state now out of extreme
6:54 pm
drought. we were nearly there last week when just a third of the percent of california was still in that category. >> now take a look here. we were just a few weeks ago at the december -- more than a third of the state was in extreme drought and 7% fell under the exceptional category. >> it's the first time in almost three years that we've been in this good a shape. but it's also important to note that 92% of california is still under some level of drought. >> and that california's largest reservoir, the storms have delivered a blockbuster surge of water. shasta lake has been rising fast and locals are hoping for a whole lot more. back in october, lodge owner harold jones gave us a look at the lake levels near the business. it was barely 30% of capacity. in a matter of weeks, shasta has jumped up above 50% capacity and it's climbing. and there's still plenty of winter left. wilson walker shows us
6:55 pm
what it looks like now. >> 75-foot oak tree that blew over down there. >> reporter: like people across northern california. harold jones has some cleaning up to do but he's going to wait on that. >> just wait until the main storms are over and then we clear up. >> reporter: for now he has other things to worry want. >> if i don't move that -- pull that dock in today, that end of the gangplank will be underwater tomorrow. >> reporter: he took us back to the same spot we went to in late october. only you can't get there. >> last time we talked, we were standing about -- 100 yards -- straight down. in the last 24 hours, from yesterday to today, the lake came up almost 2 feet. >> reporter: this is the car lee creek bridge up here on the north end of shasta built in 1925. they had to adjust for the lake and thigh just built a new bridge right on top of the
6:56 pm
old one. this spot famously looks terrible during drought. so you get an idea of how much room there is to grow here. on the other hand, the last five weeks a reminder of what is possible. >> oh, another stretch like that and we'll be -- my docks will be sitting up rear in front of the cabins. >> unfortunate when the previous set of storms hit. that the reservoir was quite low. we still have another two and a half months in the wet season that we still have to really worry about flood management. >> reporter: the lake has jumped 50 feet since new year's, greet news exactly because there was room for it. jay lund is with the uc davis center for watershed sciences. >> another series of events like that, with shasta and oroville full, and folsom full, it might be a little bit -- more difficult. on the main rivers. >> reporter: that's from the burn scars. >> it just pushing everything
6:57 pm
down to the lake. >> reporter: the debris is still coming through the watershed from the storms and even with a break in the rain, shasta will continue to rise, probably for weeks. >> the word gets out. the lake is coming up. and people start calling and booking houseboats and cabins. >> reporter: locals call the rain liquid assets and hoping for even bigger and better things. the past five weeks they say a good start. >> so we got a real good chance for a full lake this year. just pray for rain. >> reporter: more rain. >> yep, more ra . >> good
