Safeway parking lot not far from mill ls college. Jodi hernandez is on the scene with the very latest. Jodi . Reporter raj, Oakland Police have described what they call an aggressive search as they say a man walked out of this Safeway Store this afternoon and carjacked and kidnapped a 13yearold girl and elderly man from the parking lot in broad daylight. Police say it all took place just before 1 00 this afternoon. They say this man, scene in the photo, taken from surveillance cameras inside the Safeway Store tried stealing items from inside the store. Were told they were lobster tails. There was some type of lt altercation. He then came out of the store with a knife and forced his way into an suv with a girl about 13 years old and an elderly man inside. The car was headed south, and an intense search has been under way ever since. A statewide amber alert has been issued. So far no sign of the car, the suspect or the victim. We received information that the suspect was attempting to take items for the store, possibly theft. We do not believe he was able to take the items. Once the suspect left the store, he did approach a vehicle. Information indicated to us that the occupants in the vehicle did not know him. I think its scary and sad and worried for people who have kids for sure. But people need to be more cautious.

It was while sterling was pregnant with max that doctors discovered both children had a congenital heart defect called heart block. Maxs bad enough he went to surgery to get his first pacemaker before he was 2 days old. When audrey collapsed two years later, it feels her turn. Four major surgeries between the two have left scars on them and on mom. Theres nothing like handing your child off at the operating room door. They always cry and reach, and theres nothing theres no feeling like that. Knowing that you dont know whats going to happen. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Instead of wondering why their family was unlucky enough to bear this burden, they marvel at how lucky they are to come through it all while so many others didnt. Which goes a long way to explaining this picture and the many more that audrey and max regularly send to children around the country about to get their pacemakers. It also explains why the two have turned to crowd sourcing to raise money for camp taylor. Its a summer camp for kids with heart problems. A camp audrey went to last year and an experience she wants as many other kids like her to have.

Look at the live Doppler Radar right now. 250 miles the throughout the bay area shows that its dry. But patchy and dense fog in the morning will likely cause areas of drizzle. Lets take you outside of the sky camera network. We did manage blue sky for today. But the cloud cover is rolling back in. Same pinpointing throughout tomorrow morning is the fact that every single zone will have to deal with some sort of fog and possibly down to a quarter mile or less for parts of the north bay. Well take you to the east bay now. 55 degrees. Winds about 15 miles per hour. And the relatively light wind will go to 8 in that fog development. Now as we get a look at whats coming our way, we have yet another another storm system out here. A subtropical path of moisture were finding as well. As that storm gets closer, well find two impulses riding up along the cold front. Were going to get a small portion of this, but the heart of the storm system will stay still off to the north, along with the strongest rain line, right into northern california. For us, wednesday night and also thursday morning, light showers, a little bit of fog and drizzle with the best chance of the coast and also for the north bay. Well take you to the rain timing, and youre really going to be able to see how that moisture is going to stay off to the north. Tomorrow morning those areas of fog, but then as we head throughout the evening hours on wednesday, you can see al little bit of green starting to develop. But most of it tries to stay off to the north, and thats going to be the scenario as we head into thursday. So our best estimate again is marin, napa and sonoma counties will have the best possibilities of showers. Then in the afternoon well get sunshine and temperatures warming up. But if you want more rainfall, we have it coming your way as we heads towards this weekend. A much better chance of getting a cumulating precip. The northwest will have the most. Anywhere from 4 to 6 inches of rain. Here in the bay area we are expecting saturday night to sunday, possibly widespread accumulation from a tenth to close to a half inch up into the north bay. So some wet weather headed your way for this weekend. Lets take you to that micro climate forecast as we head throughout wednesday. Well have some sun in here by the afternoon for san jose and 66 degrees. Temperatures ability 10 degrout above average. In strahan the stoan francisco system starting from the north. In santa rosa with 65. The most sunshine across the east bay. The trivalley kpmting 64 degrees. Chance of showers wednesday night into thursday. Another chance for this upcoming weekends, and then a third chance as we head throughout tuesday night of next week.
