Reporter friday night at sfo flights were on time but starting saturday that wont be the case. One of our runways, runway 28 left will be closed due to necessary construction. So we can expect delays averaging 20 to 30 minutes. Reporter here is what you need to know. For the next 20 days sfos busiest runway will be out of commission for maintenance. During that time all flights coming in and out of San Francisco will have to use just one runway, meaning you better be ready for delays. Obviously people will say, it is such an inconvenience, but why is it important . I would think o it like this. Like a roadways have maintenance, like a regular road, so a runway is similar to that. Reporter to help ease the traffic sfo has worked with airlines to reduce the number of flights during this period by 13 . Many airlines including united are sending passengers emails like this, warning people about the expected delays and offering to change flights for free. We talked to a guy at sfo leaving for palm springs. Reporter you think it is good theyre doing this maintenance and shutting down . Better than having plane crashes. We dont need potholes on our tarmac. Reporter or the inconvenience, but, hey, he doesnt have to deal with it. Reporter you misd it by ose one day. How are you feeling about that. Happy, delayed.

I was very frustrated because i felt there were a couple of people on the jury that immediately had already made up their mind. Reporter billings says after hours of deliberation, it seemed likely the jury could be hung for both derick almenas conviction and max harriss acquittal. Two days before the end when the woman who was sort of saying she wasnt going to allow us to let him go, we talked to her. She was very nice. She was very reasonable, and finally at the last minute she said, okay, i will join the other 11. So max harris got off. Reporter as for almena, the jurors had two arguments, one legal and one moral, implicating the warehouses land lore, chor ng. Ten of us felt he was guilty based basically on the fact that he violated the lease. They argued that because the ngs collected the rent and the ngs collected the utility bills and the ngs knew it was all illegal, but by going along with it these people felt that then gave almena takes i. Almena tacit agreement what he was doing was okay. Reporter dan ashley, abc 7 news. Billings said after the verdict was announced prosecutors asked the jurors about the strength of their case. They said because almena faced a 102 guilty vote it will be interesting to see if the county takes him back to trial. New details about a deadly hitandrun in the south bay.

I personally went to a Car Rental Company to find out what their policy was. Okay. So i found out that the big rental companies do have a tolling program, but it comes with a fee. So in this case if you just drive through you would pay a 3. 95 surcharge on top of the cost of the toll. But as the Golden Gate Bridge highway and transportation district told us, there are cheaper options. You can do that online. You can pay by phone. Reporter another viewer, Andrea Takemoto asked, what about the people who work in the toll booths . Are they going to be out of work .

My name is brad ryan. This is my grandmother, joy ryan. And i have known him since i had to change his diapers. In 2009 i was having a conversation with my grandma joy, and she made the statement that she really regretted that she had not spent more time in the Great Outdoors and that she had never seen the mountains.

In 1998 a little girl here in napa fell off a play structure, got a concussion. That didnt sit right with jim. He said it wasnt going to happen again. It shouldnt happen. A playground should be not only fun but safe, and this was not safe. Reporter and so began jims campaign with the kiwanis club to bring in volunteers to cut down the cost of building labor.

It also looks like we are going to get some nice weather as well this weekend. Lets check in with meteorologist lisa argen for your accuweather forecast today. Hey, lisa. Hey, joe bean archbishop. Good morning to you. We certainly are bringing in the clouds, not only the low level clouds but we are looking at some mid and high level clouds, so changes are arriving due to a system that is pushing in from the north and west. Yes, it is going to feel a little bit like fall out there temporarily. This is walnut creek. A pretty view for you here, but it shows how far the marine layer has pushed on into our inland valleys. As we check out our forecast highlights, we are starting that with a lot of cloud cover, even some mist and drizzle and the winds. They will pick up today and be quite brisk out there, anywhere from 15 to 40, even 45 Miles Per Hour some of those gusts. A lot of sunshine on the way. Temperatures will be a little below average as we get into the rest of the weekend. Early next week as another shot of cool air heads our way, and then a sunny and warmer week ahead. Theres the Golden Gate Bridge with all of the low clouds, and with a glocloudy afternoon on t way we will look for the sun to be in parts of the coastline from the north bay, and it is going to be very gusty out there. Live doppler 7 showing you all of the cloud cover, and this certainly is a different sight out there. Used to seeing the low clouds and fog banked on the shoreline, but a weak system from our north, arriving through today, allowing for the winds. At least theyre not offshore, but still the driest time of the year is with us, so any wind at all can make the winds very erratic to those fires to the north of us. Thats certainly worth watching. 62, redwood city and oakland. 59, gilroy and half moon bay. As we look at gilroy, it is a great start out there. 62 in concord. 54, santa rosa. Napa at 57 with the fog to the north. The visibility just a mile up in santa rosa. Four miles, petaluma. And the fog and low clouds with us throughout the mid Morning Hours.

By later tonight the winds will ease through the overnight hours and we will see very little fog out there. Starting out with sun tomorrow. Less wind leading to a warmer sunday. So sunday is your warmer day. As we go through the Morning Hours, the winds build. Look at the colors. Blue to yellow here indicating the winds kicking up. Finally the red by late in the day, that will bring us near 30mileperhour gusts along the shoreline. 20 Miles Per Hour at sfo.
