But between cancellations and delays, things were off to a rough start at the bay areas busiest airport, thanks to the weather. Katie marzullo has the story. Waiting in line for over four hours, thats kind of ridiculous. Hes trying to get to nashville to see his family for christmas. First his southwest flight was delayed for three hours and then he missed it because of that long line at the ticket counter. Everybody was rebooking and having to reschedule and people were missing. I was standing in line with somebody and he missed his flight like hours previous. He is booked on a flight sunday out of oakland. Im frustrated. Wished it could have been on time and wish i could have gotten home to my family. For this family their delayed flight was a wish come true. They were running late, partly because of the wet ride coming in. It took about an hour and 15 minutes to get up here from menlo park. But because their flight was delayed 90 minutes. We can actually eat dinner and relax and sort of regroup and then hop on a flight. Couldnt be happier. Sfo expects about 71,000 passengers on the third busiest travel holiday. Kim arrived about an hour and a half late from vermont. Its not as bad as what other people are going through with cancelled flight. Tuesday is the busiest travel day with 115,000 passengers coming and going. At sfo, abc7 news. The rain caused flooding that forced the closer of a park expressway yesterday.

After a conversation the man uses a cane to stand up. Deputy lewelling grabs him by the back of the collar, knocks away his cane and pushes him back in the seat.

The gifts donate bid this man, nick, owner of lefty oh duals restaurant. He was deeply touched by a story before christmas. We told a story about the challenges students lived in their lives.

You may be spending a lot of time in the malls these days. Most of us go there to buy gifts for others, but you may be tempted to buy something for yourself. Michael finney explain why you might want to resist the temptation. This is a familiar sight in the days leading up to christmas. Stores packed with shoppers combing the ails looking for the best deals. Potential impulse buys surround you. Too hard to resist. I do try to wait, if i can. But if i want something or it would be nice to have then and there, its just hard to resist temptation. But the experts say resist if you can. The shopping sight deal news identified several categories where savings or significantly greater after christmas. The number one thing you should avoid buying before christmas is clothing. 45 of all the deals that we saw after christmas sales were for clothing. Last year after christmas the best deals included 50 off already markeddown prices. That is expected to happen again this year. Another category where you might want to wait before you buy, fitness gear and equipment. Theres a big surge in deals for fitness gear and equipment in the beginning of january. But they really start ramping up in midjanuary. Mr. Black friday sales are Consumer Electronics. The second best time to buy is after christmas. Thats when the new models are introduced at the Consumer Electronics show held each year in las vegas. If you are happy with last years models, january and february are good times to get great deals. The same goes for home furnishings. Thats when the older Home Furniture goes on clearance. You can expect sales from major retailers. Those who wait until after christmas to buy for themselves in any of these categories typically reap savings of 50 and more. I dont do black friday. I definitely always go after christmas, though. Thats me. The last category is a popular one. One many are already taking advantage of. Christmas decorations and wrappings are slashed dramatically the day after christmas so stock up.

You are exactly right. Most of the rain has end and the fog is creating the problems. The live doppler hd shows some of the green around the bay. Most of this is very light. Around marin county up to the north. North of sea ranch, mendocino county. Showers in the east bay and the south bay. But this batch. Moisture will continue to potentially get much of marin county wet. And as the rain continues to fadeaway, we have fog. Still a few light showers toward hollister, monterey, san jose, livermore the showers are ending, and a rainsnow mix. The tahoe Valley Airport with temperatures in the mid30s and the Winter Weather advisory extended through 10 00. Heres a look at two row right now. Snow, its at about 50 of average. So all the rain weve seen in december has been very much coastal and just a couple of inches here and there. Definitely adds to the snowpack in the mountains, but they are lagging behind whereas much of the bay area, upwards of 170 to 200 of normal for the season so far. 55 in redwood city. 54 in morgan hill. San francisco is at 55. You can count on some delays again. Golden gate bridge, look how foggy it is. You really have to slow down. Cant see much in front of you. And much of the fog in the north bay, the delta and even concord at 53 degrees. Pretty foggy. Heres a look at the fog in miles, the visibility three quarters in napa. Halfmile up in novato, and concord just a mile visibility. So oakland doing a little bit better, but this will probably get worse before it gets better. We are look at a stable atmosphere. Really no wind to speak of. If we had a cold front offshore, that would perhaps mix things out and increase our visibility. It will try to do that by midmorning. Theres the system often shore. It will miss us. But in the meantime we do have very foggy start. Embarcadero with a few showers today. Showers linger into tomorrow morning. And then we will look for the beginning of winter. Even though it felt like winter all month long, it arrives tomorrow at 3 03. We have the mist and drizzle. The front has passed through. Plenty of moisture in the atmosphere. Another front and a very active jet stream to the north and west of us. A weak ridge of High Pressure is trying to build. And it will. It will allow for partly cloudy skies through sunday. Today we are going to look for a lot of cloud cover. And we cant rule out a spotty shower. So throughout the 11 00 hour notice the most activity in the north bay. But we could see a light shower pop up anywhere from the peninsula to berkeley to san mateo. And then through the evening hours still maybe a light shower, mist and drizzle. The fog reforms again, and we will look for not only a partly cloudy afternoon on sunday, but still the high surf, the coastal flood advisory, and the king tides get into the act tomorrow. In the Sierra Nevada, still some snow. Maybe south of 80. And another inch expected through 10 00. The temperatures today from the upper 50s to near 70 down in los angeles. They are just looking at dry conditions. Back home 59 fairfield, 61 palo alto, and if you are headed to the game tonight, it will be dry. Temperatures from the upper 50s to the mid50s. Other slight chance of a shower there. And the accuweather sevenday forecast looking at maybe a lingering shower into sunday. Monday and tuesday look to be the driest. And mildest days. Christmas eve maybe a slight shower in the north bay. Partly cloudy Christmas Day and the day after.

For young mica, it began as a Community Service project that was part of his bar mitzvah studies. His grandfather escaped the holocaust by going to cuba. Did you have to wear the yellow star of . Yes. Yes. My grandpa told me when he was in cuba, he would see kids playing baseball everywhere with mitts made of cardboard and balls made of rocks wrapped in tape. So mica vowed to donate baseball equipment to the kids and realized it was easier done. A country under sanctions with the united states, we dont have open trade with them. If you want to take a risk and do something thats outside as that activity, as a lawyer i cant advise you. The story of his journey could be his ultimate honor. We were invited to attend the Havana International film festival. It is one were the two biggest festivals in latin america. Its a big honor. Very few americans screen there. He got permission to travel there for the screening and what timing he had. I was having lunch at my favorite eateries with a cuban friend and we saw the announcement by raul castro and president obama. Snyder screened his film just a few hours later. And my opening marks were, everything has changed, right . They erupted this applause. When the credits rolled in the end there were tears. And the first question actually after our screening was how did you possibly average it . Arrange it . Of course, it was sheer luck. He said hope was in the air, and hes hopeful that with trade barriers falling he can make his next film together with cuban producers. As for mica, who is 15, his hope is to spread the love of the game. Maybe we will help somebody get into the big leagues. You never know.

Marin and San Francisco. Its going to be kind of one of those days where we are dry, you might see some mist and drizzle. 4 54 the sunrise sets. Tomorrow we will,er in the winter season at 3 03. This has been the wettest december for a lot of locks around the bay. Over 9 inches in san jose. You picked up over a quarter of an inch in the last 24 hours.

The Golden Gate Bridge, you can barely see anything here. Low 50s from santa rosa. Its 54 in fairfield and one. Our readings in san jose was 62 degrees. So pretty mild out there. The embarcadero. You can see how gray it is. Typical winter scene with fog and a few showers throughout the day today. And we will continue that theme into tonight. Just a slight chance. And as we get through the rest of the weekend, High Pressure begins to build and that should dry us out right on through the early part of the week.
