>> well, it was quite year brock purdy from being the last pick in last year's nfl becoming the number one option for one of the most storied franchises in the nfl. the story of 30 keeps getting better and that, yeah, it does. today forty-niners general manager john lynch said despite the injury to parties throwing elbow, he is still. >> san francisco's quarterback number one. so for more on the announcement, we're joined by well, for sports reporter aaron wilson. with all the aaron. hello, hello. well, that's the biggest news of the day. the fact that he is the number one, according to the gm john lynch. and you know, for so long, we wondered. >> who would be? >> the quarterback next season and with the unknown return date of brock party. of course, because of that injury in the training of jimmy g, it would be crazy to assume that it would have been trey lance, but it like i said after today, we now know that that

is not the case. and that's because during the nfl owner meeting down in phoenix, forty-niners gm, john lynch said they were going to do what's best for brock because brock is what's best for our organization. and although there are other guys on the roster that leadership has a lot of faith in rob party. despite his injury is their qb one. take a listen. >> think brock has earned the right with the way he played that he's probably the leader in the clubhouse at that. you know, it kind of make those kind of decisions. but i know when we talk, i think brooks probably earned their right to be that guy. the guy, if we were all i know he probably take that first. and you know, we were insulated with other guys that we have a lot of belief enso brooks now ready hold it. hold down the fort until the thing me is rehabbing with a well-known physical therapists. keep coach are now. he's has a history of working with some top athletes. >> with elbow injury that say right now there is no timeline. as i mentioned earlier for parties return. but >> lynch also mention have a

better idea of that timeline in the next 12 weeks, which is also when the team and party expect him to be able to throw again, no matter. lindsey brock has earned the right to be the guy. so he didn't believe that he did he showed up in crunch time and he actually played and competed in games that someone a rookie with no experience out there at that point in the season probably should have been able to play. that will so. but they still got the high draft pick, trey lance, a and they sign sam darnold former high draft pick who needed bass. he spoke a little bit on them today. just saying that he was happy about the progress of trey lance and his injury coming back from his injury. >> and then that when they did want to fill out the quarterback room just a little bit more, they wanted to make sure. >> it's donna was a guy they brought in. he said he's happy with the quarterback room with those 3. but again, property is cuba and their 3 was. thank

you. >> all right. let's check on our weather again. a live look outside at the golden gate bridge and it's hazy out there tonight. and we were seeing the sky a few minutes ago that a lot of clouds building up the rolling in yet crystal clear blue skies earlier today. but it is. >> lawrence is back with us. this the next storm are old enough yet. here we go on this. we're going to pack a punch as it comes onshore overnight. tonight, the showers are going to be picking up in those those winds on the increase. and well, here we go again. this has been one of those years where they just come one after another after another almost seems like never ending the clouds rolling in toward the golden gate bridge right now. see the winds picking up now long. the flag around those winds really get with it as we head in toward tomorrow. so the national weather service issuing high wind advisory for some very gusty winds, especially along the coastal sections, even inside the bay and over the coastal ranges in the going to see some of the hilltops. they're going to see some very strong gusty winds, some of the gusts maybe as high as 40, maybe 55 miles an

hour or so. so very gusty. you see here on the models, it start showed winds begin to move out of the south overnight. tonight we're going to start to crank up. so by tomorrow morning you can start to see that rain moving in. all of a sudden the winds are going start to kick up. you start to see some 30 some 40 mile an hour gusts along the coastline, especially in northern marin and sonoma counties. and then as we head through the morning, then it really ramps up to 8 o'clock in the morning or so 9 o'clock. you're starting to see some 40 plus mile an hour gust coast side. and then it really gets going after that as we head in toward 11 o'clock in these winds really start whipping. and that's when we're expected to see the strongest gust about the late morning hours. going to see those strongest rolling through likely to bring more trees down and some more power outages. by the afternoon, the front moves by and you'll notice all of a sudden you see a change in some of the wind direction here that front moves into the south bay. so you get some of those northwesterly winds begin to kick up. the winds begin to subside, but to be a rainmaker to pack some heavy rainfall likely to fall around the bay area. maybe 2, maybe 3 inches of rain across some of the mountain tops to the north

bay, especially but even down in some of the urban areas, more than an inch of rain, we get those kind of rain race coming through throughout the day. likely going to see some puzzling some localized flooding out on the roads. i think tomorrow just to be a really difficult day to be on the roads. so overall, you can see the storm system, another very strong, powerful storm off the coastline. one thing is looks like the center of this low is going to stay off the coastline and that is a huge factor. remember that storm? we had the previous big win last week. the low came right over the bay area that are generated all the winds still still going to be gusty enough. likely see some damage outside. and it looks like we're going to see plenty of rain in the bay area. so this one coming through. i don't see another big one like this on the horizon, but i do see a chance more rain as we head into weekend. i know some believe. thank you, lawrence. okay. well, search and rescue efforts are ongoing in mississippi and alabama. that's after that catastrophic eea. 4 tornado hit those states on friday. >> killing more than 2 dozen people. volunteers and heavy equipment are being deployed

just just shot off the pickup truck and yeah, here it is. again, as we replay, authorities are blaming some sheared lug nuts on the pickup truck for causing the tire to come off in the first place and get this. the driver of the kid that flipped suffered only minor injuries. that's amazing. >> coming up next, hackers are now using artificial intelligence to hijack facebook and instagram accounts in tonight's tech smart, rich demuro explains haw it works and how to keep yourself protected. that's yourself protected. that's coming up after the break.
