11:35 pm
>> reporter: and here's the bottom line on the money. the local university estimates the value of these wine grape to santa barbara are $120 million. that's worth $180 million on less land in faster time. two problems popped up, the first is the odor which can be strong in some places. some are worried it can affect the taste of it grapes though there's no proof of that. cannabis grower autumn shelten spent $100,000 on a deodorizing system to be a good neighbor as she blames illegal growrs for the smell. the second issue, pesticides. cannabis by law cannot have any pesticide residue on it. and so growers of other crops are being forced to sometimes hand spree or use less effective means to avoid legal problems. >> probably down 2 to 4,000

acres cost in lost quality and cost having to do it the way we did it. >> reporter: some farmers on both sides are trying to work together to find solutions without lawsuits. >> everybody wants everyone to be successful. no one wants to hurt anybody's business. >> i actually think in large part the agriculture industry is either indifferent or excited about seeing a new crop come in. >> reporter: not everyone's excited. >> it's going to be a giant legal battle and in the end the lawyers will win. but we're going to fight it tooth and nail and fight it in the end. >> reporter: just the latest sign that high hopes for legal cannabis in california have so far been a bit of a buzz kill. for cnbc business news jane wells, california. still ahead they may look like ordinary school supplies but they're not. tonight we're skg can you spot the vape?

11:46 pm
despite their rooftop panels. at solaria, another solar company located in oakland its ceo explained an existing system can be retrofitted. >> i would call your local installer and see what it would cost to put in batteries on top of the system that you have to have backup. most system sources installed you can get batteries and back it up and avoid this in the future. >> pat batteries do have limitations. typically they only wire to key appliances as well as a couple of plugs around the house. even if you do have a battery he ur urges conservation to make sure it lasts. turning it over to sports now. dave feldman is going to join us

in just a second after rob apparently. i want today get to it right away. can we show the hoy lights and go back and go back again? >> well, the whether is also good news. again, the offshore winds we had last week, the dry conditions and now the sea breeze has made a bit of a comeback with some fog into san francisco. and you can see our temperatures. it's actually kind of interesting. half moon bay, the coast and san francisco mid-50s. these are the few areas right now seeing the temperatures run a little bit warmer than they were at at the same time last night and you can see right there on the coast the clouds have come back. but cooling in napa. and san jose inland starting to see some low temperatures compared to 4 hours ago. probably not too far inland but notice by 8:00 you've still got some patchy low clouds in san francisco and kind of staying on the coast at times tomorrow with
11:48 pm
sunshine for inland areas. so with the low clouds might see some misty skies around the peninsula and coastline for your morning commutes and jacket weather to say the least. inland around the north bay valleys upper 0s and low 40s. bay side temperatures mostly in the upper 40s and maybe closer to 50s giving us those low cloud setup. and for the afternoon, back into t-shirt and short sleeves. once again t-shirt weather again for inland areas. mid to upper 70s near san jose, 80 around morgan hill, santa rosa and antioch. and near 70 degrees in oakland. so the chance interest seeing showers is going to follow this system right there wednesday night, parts of the north bay will certainly get more clouds. but it looks like the best chances for finding measurable rainfall are going to stay just off to the north and really just stops after you get past ucaya. so a lot of the more substantial rain will be up here for the
11:49 pm
north coast. but that system will likely bring up a little case of some northwest wind to wake up to that on thursday morning. but that's not a true offshore breeze. so while gusty at times near the coast humidity levels won't be as bone dry as they were last week. but we'll have the watch this system. for saturday into sunday this too will miss us as we go into the a good portion of the weekend. notice the arrows trying to turn a bit more outs of the north. there's a chance we may see some drying conditions. as we take a look at the ten day outlook now to see if there's any signs of any long-term rain chances aside from that slight chance on wednesday unfortunately things are looking quite dry and that extended forecast through the 22nd honestly for this time of year that's what you typically get around the bay area. tomorrow san francisco looking at some low clouds through the morning upper 60s for today and
11:50 pm
a little bit warmer. breezy and probably more of a wind event. actually for the coast, you'll get a little bit of that for thursday morning. and next weekend breezy and dry but at this point doesn't look like any anything red flag warning wise. >> nothing too extreme. thanks, rob. >> now let's check sports. here's dave feldman. >> hi, everybody. the san francisco 49ers undefeated through their first four games and looking to go 5-0 for the first time since the 1990s. sports coming up after the break.

sharks a 2-0 lead. sharks win, beat the flames 3-1. also winning today the 49ers, big win over the rams. here's dave feldman. >> the 49ers are legit, 5 and 0 for the first time since the 1990s and boasting in defense that could keep them in any game. the last time they had a defense this good, they wept to the super bowl. taking on the 3 and 2 rams, jimmy g. was ready, kyle shanahan was ready and everyone with the 49er faithful was ready. takes the hand-off and scores the touch down. and the 49ers have evened things up in l.a. second quarter now third and goal from the two. jimmy garoppolo makes a mistake and it's picked off by marcus peters. not a good execution. later in the quarter rams up fourth and goal at the one. malcolm brown gets stuffed.
11:54 pm
niners defense holds. and because they hold robert sala, the defensive coordinator is fired up. they feed off that energy. that's pretty good energy. first play of the third quarter gauff tosses to the helpederson. and wait a minute we've got a fumble. eric armstead had a great game. 49ers take their first lead of the day. and now we go to the fourth quarter, 49ers up 20-7, fourth and one. henderson does not get the first down. so the 49ers hold. what's the reaction from the defense c defensive coordinator? fired up again. 49ers go 20-7, and later coach shanahan was asked if his team was elite. >> no, i'm not going to use that word. good trick but i'm very happy how we played. we're 5 and 0 which is a great
11:55 pm
thing, but we're not playing our best ball. it seemed our defense played extremely high level obviously minus the first drive. we can continue to get better in offense and special teams and i also think our defense is just getting started, too. >> i'm not going to lie i plaque out during those moments so i get excited for the guys and their success and the things they're going through. so when they make great plays i feel like i'm right there with them and when theyfully, i'm there with them, too. sometimes you get overwhelmed. >> oakland raiders will return to action next sunday against the green bay packers. that's all for sports. i'm dave feldman. more news after the break. tv just keeps getting better.

turns out it was just a mistake on twitter. the pope tweeted praise t catholic saints earlier today. instead of use the hashtag saints the tweet added a slur which happens to be a logo for the new orleans saints. a linebacker posted this message in response. it might have which through because the saints did end up beating the jaguars 13-6 today. >> and pope francis was wondering why that was there. >> have a great night and a great week. >> have a good week. there are those who will say that you're: too fat. too skinny. too hard. too soft. too old. too much. too unexpected. too limited.
