and the rain and snow will be on over areas of california and the pacific northwest will be active as well. if you're traveling back up north for your sunday. here is a look at what is going on for your afternoon today in and out of the clouds. saturday we start out with partly cloudy skies and a little bit of fog out there like this morning dealing with patchy dense fog. by early sunday morning it looks like already turning wet. with one wave moving through. scattered showers in the afternoon. we have the raiders playing, the niners playing. as we get into the sunday nighttime frame, it looks like a second wave moves through that could lead us into a soggy monday morning. so sunday perhaps part of monday looking wet. anywhere from a quarter inch to an inch of rain expected for portions of the bay area during this time. that is good news there. we like to see the rain come back this time of year. there it is. for today, if you're heading up to tahoe, partly cloudy skies. and light winds expected for today. ahead of the storm on saturday, tahoe will have an increase in winds. the anchors were talking about it a moment ago. if you plan on skiing, as we know sometimes the

way down to 4,000 feet sunday flight and into monday. if you're traveling sunday night and into monday, you could have wintery weather to deal with. giving you a view at the temperatures outside of

discovery about the history of wine. up next, the evidence that people have been enjoying a glass or two for thousands of years. >> welcome back to mornings on 2. well, a major archeological discovery. and this one involves wine. >> archeologists have uncovered evidence that people have been drinking wine hundreds of years longer than previously thought. >> reporter: raising a glass this holiday season? scientists have just made a new discovery about the history of wine. archeologists say they have unearthed evidence of the world's oldest wine found in giant 8,000-year-old jars in the nation of georgia. taking segments and fragments of the jars sending them for examination to a lab in philadelphia, it was established that traces of 8,000-year-old wine had been found. meaning that georgia with its fertile valleys located between europe and the middle east could be the birth place of wine and home to the first humans to conquer the grape used in almost all wine on earth. >> this is the earliest wine. it is important to say that georgia has uninterrupted evidence of wine making since prehistoric times. >> reporter: the wine is now on display. this suggests that the human cultural achievement of wine making occurred earlier than previously thought. some 600 to a thousand years earlier. but china remains home to the earliest known fermented beverage that dates back to 7,000bc. that believes to be a rice cocktail having some grapes but this new finding was a bottle of wine. anyone who prepared thanksgiving dinner knows that it is a pretty big task to undertake. in a minute, we will show you how some people broke with tradition. and instead of doing it themselves, they had others do it. a story about a potato, not the one on your thanksgiving table but one that was prehistoric. researchers in utah showing off a prehistoric potato. it could offer a lot of ancient insight into life. potatoes were especially important to the native- americans tribes in the region around utah. they hope the rare plant will be conserved and used to get more information on not just the potato but to give us information about healthy eating. all right. the time is 7:27. as you were saying, if you prepared a thanksgiving dinner, you know it is a huge task. >> yes. up next, we will see how some people broke with that tradition and opted for a stress-free meal. >> reporter: patiently waiting to get their hands on some electronics. coming up, why a bunch of customers just got their golden ticket. when we come back. dry weather will remain in place for your black friday shopping, into saturday. and then the wet changes come back our way as we move into the back end of your weekend. i will have what to expect in the extended forecast coming up. really? really? really? really? really? really? see zero in a whole new way. get zero down, zero deposit, zero first month's payment, and zero due at signing on select volkswagen models. now with the people first warranty. ♪[music] ♪ we're living in a material world ♪ ♪ and i'm a material girl ♪ ♪ we are living in a material world ♪ ♪ >> i think madonna wrote this song for this day. you have two choices. if you are a material girl or a material boy, you can always hit the stores. local mom and pop shops or the big box stores for the giant tv for, you know, $25. so it is black friday. many people are celebrating that way. other people are opting outside and breathing the fresh air and taking in all that mother nature has to offer. look at this. we switched the picture to a live shot of shoppers lined up and waiting to spend their dollars. we are luck tee have brooks joining us this morning. >> wal-mart. >> target. maybe he moved over to a best buy. my goodness, we are very, very busy tracking all of the good sales and the beautiful outdoor activities for you. you can't go wrong today, november 24th, the day after thanksgiving. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> good morning. i'm dave clark. it is good weather for it. rosemary is in for steve. >> yes. yes. it is dry out there. temperatures a little cool. but for this time of year, you know, we're actually way above where we should be in many areas. if you're thinking to get outdoors to do shopping. take a look at that view there where eave a lot of stuff around the bay area outdoors- wise to get -- to get out there and enjoy your day. you have dry weather in store for today. we have dry weather in store on saturday. and then into sunday, we have some wet weather returning back to the bay area. so that holiday shopping, maybe putting up the holiday lights, maybe getting the holiday tree, today and tomorrow are the better days, unless you enjoy doing it in the rain. in addition to the cloud cover, north bay and along the coastline, i don't know if you can see half moon bay in there, also a darker shade of gray indicating patchy dense fog, visibilities over oakland down to about half mile near the airport there. but here is where it has been fairly widespread all morning long. only a little better than where we saw it earlier. santa rosa at the airport, visibility a quarter mile. napa as well. crossing over areas around american canyon, it thickens up here as well. be prepared for that. if you're getting out early. temperature-wise not bad at all. 52 in santa rosa. 52 for the east bay of oakland. and 57 in the

finally have lines forming here. we are out at best buy today, where, finally, people have started to line up. when we first came here, there were only about two, maybe three people camped out. they actually had barricades up. all of the lights inside of the store were off. since then, you can see many people have shown up to try to get their hands on big electronics. the big thing of course is tv. and frederick here was the first guy in line. boy, you know what you're looking for. >> yeah. actually i was in best buy yesterday trying to get this $179 deal. but i kind of lost out on that. so this was my consolation prize right here. $279 for a 55-inch. it is only available in stores today. >> reporter: so you came out here. you have been waiting since 4:00 a.m. then magically a best buy worker with a cape comes out and gives you what. we get these tickets. just assures us that we can get the tv any time today. >> the tv that you wanted. >> this is what i woke up for at 1:00 in the morning for. after this, i'm going home. >> reporter: and to be clear, this tv is not for you. this isn't about you. >> this is for my mom. she is sending it to the philippines. i never get anything

>> reporter: now, since you are such a veteran, what -- how has it changed over the ten years? >> they didn't have thursdays before. it was always fridays. and the lines have really shrunk down ever since online shopping and amazon came around. so i don't have to come here as early. there's a lot less fights. a lot less cutting. a lot less drama. i like it. >> reporter: that is good to here. frederick, thanks very much. we are just anticipating these doors opening here in the next about 25 minutes. send it back to you. >> okay. a nice historical look at what black friday used to be. you know, to the relatively quiet experience it has been for the past few years. >> reporter: that's right. >> okay. >> thank you, brooks. the time is 7:36. the national park service is encouraging you to go outside today. east bay regional parks is offering free admission, free parking today as part of the opt outside movement. it was started by the retailer rei three years ago when the company gave its employees a paid day off to get outside and urged people to head outside instead of going to a mall for black friday. this idea has grown in popularity. last year, one and a half million people

christmas shopping season. and that's what they did. and they loved the sound of the coins in the cash register. >> for a lot of retailers it was actually on their profit and loss statements they went

busy traditional spot. how is it looking so far? >> reporter: it has been busy for the last more than -- i would say more than 12 hours or so. this place opened at 3:00 yesterday afternoon, thanksgiving day. it is hard to know when thanksgiving ends and black friday begins because places like this it all mushes together. we are standing outside the store called tori birch. there's been a line out here. actually the line is longer now than it was an hour ago. it wraps kind of around the building. there is an hour-plus wait just to get in and shop inside of the store. between 5:00 and 6:00 this morning, things slowed down at the san francisco premium outlets in livermore. you could actually find parking then. that is when after the thanksgiving day shoppers kind of had finished their hall and started heading home, now we're getting the second wave of people coming out early on black friday. earlier this morning, we saw two ladies who had brought their own personal shopping carts. they said a few years ago they had their stuff stolen out of their cars at a shopping mall. this year they wanted to keep their goods with them at all times. when it came to shopping carts, this lady caught our eye. she was carrying 50 michael kors purses. she bought these to sell them on the online store in china. >> this is the best time of the year. and gladly i took advantage of it much >> reporter: and we just saw her a short time ago actually in the line for tori birch. she says she is here and has a small company. she lives in fremont and runs a store on china's version of amazon.com. she was here at the outlet mall. she had four people shopping for her and her store. it is not just about the gifts. some people plan ahead and use this as an opportunity to stock up all year round. back to you guys. >> you talked about the parking spayings. we know that 580 can back up. there is another satellite parking lot far, far away. >> reporter: yeah. about five miles away from here, during the overnight hours, they had off site parking near the college and had a shuttle taking people back and forth. in the middle of the night, they had all 1200 parking spaces full at that off site parking lot. you can see 580 in the distance. it doesn't look like there is any backup, at least in the westbound direction as you approach the outlet mall and the exits here. it doesn't look like a lot of traffic immediately around the outlet mall. but there's definitely a lot of people here. so not sure if people are taking advantage of the shuttles. we have seen people getting dropped off by friends and family and taking ubers and lyfts so people finding different ways to get to the shopping destination. >> thank you, allie. the national park service is encouraging people to head outside today. east bay regional parks offering free admission and parking today as part of the opt outside movement. it was started by the retailer rei three years ago when it gave the

ton of them to get your hands on. the crowds are not nearly as large as they normally are. and so as a result, all of the deals are just waiting to go out the door. there are a ton of people that i have talked to today who say that their number one thing they want to get is tvs. and several of the workers say that is still the big thing, electronics. not just here but target and other stores. you're seeing people come in or wait hours and hours just to get their hands on a tv. now, i'm told that this particular store, they have 160 employees. they're all mandated to work today because it is a very busy shopping day. as more people begin to trail in, this was taken about 8:00 a.m., when the doors first opened. and several people were waiting for what we like to call some golden tickets. they were pieces of paper that gave them one of those tvs that is only, you know, several hundred dollars off. one guy said he tried yesterday. because a lot of the stores were open yesterday. and as a result, that's why some believe the crowds are thinner today. but listen to what he had to say. >> it is actually getting better. the deals, the craziness has gone down. there used to be fights and people cutting in line and a lot of controversy. now it is pretty calm. >> you like the calm? >> yeah. you know, you don't have to get here as early anymore. >> reporter: a true

reached the goal of hiring 1,000 new police officers. >> jessie gary talked with the mayor about that milestone and what he is thankful for this holiday season. >> reporter: joining us this morning, the mayor of san jose, sam liccardo. mayor, you had talked about the police department getting to at least a thousand officers. and now you have reached that number. >> well, that's good news. we've got a long way to go still to really restore this department. but we have seen great success in the last year where we added 140 officers plus returning officers from other cities. we're heading in the right direction. we still have more work to do. >> how does that impact the fight against crime in the city? can we now expect that the numbers will reflect the increase in police officers. >> having more officers certainly helps but having community officers in place -- has lightened the burden on many of our police because now we can respond to some of the less urgent property crimes which community service officers can lift finger prints and take reports and statements without distracting police officers from the most urgent, violent calls. >> reporter: i'm guessing you're thankful that the number is at least a thousand. what else are you thankful for. what are the things that you're thankful for as we close out 2017? >> i'm certainly grateful for my family and my very patient wife who has put up with me this job for three years. very thankful for here. i'm able to serve a city that i really love. i talk to mayors throughout the country about challenges they face and the opportunities that we have. and i wouldn't change places with them for anything in the world. we've got a great city here. >> reporter: mayor, thank you very much. >> great. >> reporter: happy

silverware and the tables are draped with decorative cloths and napkins. >> it is presented like we love you. actions speak louder than words. this right here will tell a person who is down, someone cares about you. someone loves you. and this is the message that we want to send out. you have not been forgotten. >> every year they hold the event in a different bay area location. she and her mom say it is the little things that make a big difference and she wants to make everyone feel special during the holidays. not everyone loves spending hours in the kitchen for thanksgiving. >> yeah. many opted for a dinner minus the cooking. >> they found the perfect stress-freeway to enjoy a meal with their families. >> reporter: this family laughed and smiled as they strolled down union street. they say not having the stress of cooking a big traditional thanksgiving feast for lots of people is something to be thankful for. >> we decided to go out to dinner just because it is a little easier. >> reporter: this woman says her parents are visiting from auburn. it takes a lot of time and work cooking at home. eating out is more relaxing. >> it relieves my wife from making a meal for everyone. we
