municipal transportation agency proposed this plan that would restrict right turns on red lights at about 200 intersections downtown. right now, red turns on red. right turn. excuse me on red are banned. several intersections in the tenderloin as part of a pilot program that started back in 2021, the sfmta says that that ban is saving lives, making pedestrians feel safer. >> if you imagine you driving up into an intersection at and you are looking over your left shoulder to see, see if it's clear to turn and merge into that right hand lane. you may not see the pedestrian that is started walking across the street in the crosswalk to your right. >> therein lies the problem, they say many drivers already waiting at red lights say the plan would just make getting around town even more difficult than it already is. if the new proposal is approved, the no right on red rule would extend through many areas, including the financial district, embarcadero and south of market

areas. a 15 year old girl from oakland making history, mia callan, is the first figure skater to land a quadruple jump ever in the women's event. at this year's u.s. figure skating championships, and she's just 15. the event took place last friday. mia ended up finishing eighth overall. such a great performance by her and early on, the four had the pleasure of talking with mia right here in studio about that spectacular night and how she felt after she pulled off that historic jump. >> i actually didn't know that i made history. i was just happy that i landed. i was like, yay! it's just like, really fun to try to challenge myself and try to be the best that i can be. she's pretty darn good, right? >> this is not the first time that mia has landed a quadruple jump. she's done it before. when she was 13 at a competition in colorado springs, and then again last year at a competition in los angeles. she's got a bright future ahead in skating, no

doubt about it. all right. we are celebrating black history month, where san francisco city leaders came together today and the festivities planned for later this month. and the wet weather not over just yet. coming up, how the governor is stepping in to try to keep people safe. >> we do have another atmospheric river developing offshore, a potent storm for the bay area as we head into the weekend, we'll have the updated timing, the wind speeds and the ra fall amounts. we'll h e you want to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo.

growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message. is in a bit of sunny skies as

well, but it will be a lot more consistent this weekend with another strong storm headed our way. that storm, in fact, expected to impact much of the state in preparation, governor newsom has announced that he is deploying a number of resources, including 8300 boots on the ground in addition to the increased personnel, the state has activated its operations center. governor newsom today also proclaimed a state of emergency in a number of counties, and that includes san mateo and santa cruz. california has mobilized five rescue helicopter to water rescue teams 7 million sandbags are already in position, and the national guard is ready to rapidly deploy. if needed. let's talk about it all now with our meteorologist, mark tamayo, and mark, this just comes on the heels of another wet weather system, which is really the problem here. >> yeah, i was about to say that, you know, we can usually handle one big system, but we're just talking about 2 in 1 week. that is a concern. you heard about the, you know, the states preparing for we're going to have a lot of rain, but especially down towards southern

california. it's kind of borderline in a hazardous pattern setting up. so a lot to track over the next few days. heather, you can't see later saturday and into sunday rainfall here in the bay area around 2 to 6in. that big red circle. that's where our next storm is developing winds could be up there around 50 to 60 miles an hour, but the most intense impacts will be down towards south in southern california, the wind advisory and the high wind warnings begin 10 p.m. saturday. we could have gusts for all the areas in red near the coast and for the hills around 55 to 65 miles an hour and a flood watch begins 4:00 tomorrow afternoon through sunday and into monday. so here's kind of the breakdown with the rainfall expectations, we're scaling back a little bit up in the north bay. this is still significantrillionainfall, but clearly the heaviest rain could be for the peninsula here also out toward the coast and then and also out towards santa cruz county, and especially the santa cruz mountains. they potentially could pick up upwards of 5 to 7in. and with all that rain, that could lead to the possibility of some mudslides into the weekend, especially as we head into sunday morning, here's the radar imagery. over the past few

hours, some scattered showers here in the bay area has been fairly active in the sierra. some heavy snow there, creating some travel issues over interstate 80. this evening they actually had a bit of a closure earlier this evening, showing you this the satellite. and here's that circulation developing off shore. a very strong jet. we'll call it a low level jet. and that will transport that big storm toward our coastline. here's a live camera. as you can see, we're showing you those readings in the upper 40s to the 50s for your friday evening. today we had some off and on showers. but as i mentioned, we're watching this development off shore here for later saturday, especially saturday night into sunday. and possibly into monday. here's the forecast model. we'll try to time this out. this is tomorrow morning, 9:00. so there is a possibility of a few scattered showers tomorrow. lots of clouds in place and then into the afternoon hours. this is a saturday evening. you can see those waves of rain developing near the coast. this is 7 p.m. on saturday. this is when things really developed. saturday night into early sunday morning. this is some intense rainfall 6 a.m. this will likely lead to maybe

some flood advisories or flood warnings. the chance of a thunderstorm, and then maybe backing off on the rainfall as we head toward late sunday afternoon and into sunday evening, four tomorrow, temperatures will be in the 50s. the possibility of some showers, especially by late saturday afternoon into saturday night. sunday is stormy, especially for the morning hours. showers likely to monday. we're going to hold on to some shower chances into tuesday and into wednesday, so get ready. the next one is getting closer to our coastline. >> yeah, it certainly is. and we'll be ready for it. mark. thank you. sonoma county officials taking extra precaution with that atmospheric river set to hit the bay area over the weekend, proactively shutting down at least four flood prone roadways. the county's infrastructure director says these will be 12 hour closures from 7 p.m. sunday to 7 a.m. monday. this includes slusser marquis station, starr and trenton healdsburg roads officials say they're seeing a rise in driver aggressiveness when faced with a flooded roadway.

>> they're choosing to go and drive over flooded roads, which exposes them to risk and when they get stuck in the, you know, on on flooded road, then we have to have, uh, first responders have to respond to that event. and it's a life threatening event. >> last january, a woman drowned near one of the roads that will close next week after getting swept away in a flood. meantime, cal fire crews are out in force, filling sandbags and taking other measures to prepare for flooding. people are urged to have a game plan and know where to get those sandbags in case of an emergency, cal fire urges people to get in touch with their city, county or local fire department and take the time to sign up for those emergency alerts. always a good idea, especially when we've got weather like this approaching. i knew at 730 tonight, crews in livermore responded to a semi truck that burst into flames. the fire started just off highway 580. crews were called to a building on industrial way just before 1145. this morning, and were able to extinguish that fire quickly. livermore
