He tolds he saw at least one other car hit the tree after it fell on his car. And we are going to take a live peek outside right now. Several areas of the bay area getting ready to spend christmas indoors as a winter storm planning on rolling through. You see San Francisco, oakland and san jose all pictured on your screen. We are expecting some rain and some cooler temps here. Now, when we say winter storm, what kind of context are we talking . Weve seen stormy activity in the last couple of weeks, anthony. This is nothing on that scale. In fact, the storms weve seen over the past few weeks, this is more of a nonevent. I think the most impact well see from this storm will be the wind. Can you see right now, as the storm systems moving in, most of the cloud cover over the bay area. Youll notice a trail of moisture that extends out to the pacific. Thats off to our south now. Whats going to happen is, as we get this cold front pushing in, you can see we have a little bit of shower activity. But as weve been telling you, were only expecting trace amounts to a tenth of an inch with this storm system as it moves through. The big impact will be wind. Lets step outside and show you what were looking at. Gray skies for the most part. We havent seen much sunshine. I dont think well see that today and because of that temperatures will stay near 60 degrees. You can actually see the clouds making their way through San Francisco as the rain makes its way in. This is our futurecast. Around 2 00 is when well see the showery activity in San Francisco. It will be light to moderate and will move through quickly. Notice how quick it moves through San Francisco. Put this into motion youll notice, 15 to 20 minutes its out of there. By 3 00 all the way down into san jose, gilroy, morgan hill and even toward the santa cruz mountains. If youre still trying to do any traveling today, after 4 00 and 5 00 in the bay area, we will be dry and even the area near sacramento up towards 80. Headed up towards tahoe, theyre expecting to see the snow end by tonight. By 7 00 those snow showers will come to an end. The biggest thing i think this storm system will produce is widespread wind gust. Because the radar doesnt look too impressive, you may think, no big deal. Look at this map. Were talking winds in excess of 40 to 50 miles an hour at the coastline and even for some of our inland valleys, i wouldnt be surprised if we see gusts up to 40 miles an hour in santa rosa, napa, toward livermore and at the valley floor in san jose. San francisco, this could cause airport delays, especially later on this evening when our winds will be the highest, about 7 00. I wouldnt be surprised if we see some wind gusts in sf up to 50 Miles Per Hour later this evening. While it wont be a big rain event, the wind is really going to steal the cake with this thing. Its really going to bring in some very cold air. By tonight, temperatures get back to near 40. But look what happens as we head towards this weekend. Were talking 30s for overnight lows and 50s for highs. Yes, there will be frost and fog as we head towards this upcoming weekend. So, a little bit of something for everybody really. Back to you. Hopefully not too much cake stealing. Appreciate it. Well, many people would consider a doctor who makes house calls the epitome of personal service. That is true. But one oakland doctor may you have you rethinking this entire concept. Garvin thomas shows us just what shes doing in this bay area. Dr. Caroline hastings is a pediatric hematologist and oncologist at Childrens Hospital oakland. What that means, of course, is shes a very smart woman who deals with some very sick kids. Not all of them, sadly, make it, which is a legitimate reason why she might want to keep a personal distance from them. But this doctor doesnt. Reporter bringing work home from the job regardless of what you do is something most of us try to avoid. Even more so when youre a doctor. Like caroline hastings. It is not only timeconsuming but it consumes us emotionally. You just cant turn it off when you go home. Heres the drug for the transfer. Reporter what makes her special, though, is that she is a doctor who stopped trying to turn it off. Instead, she invited it in. Literally. I brought my family into my work and my work into my family. It was actually a lot easier for me and it made more sense and it was comfortable. Im going to take some of this off. Im so sorry. Reporter on this day, for example, after treating 10yearold twins addi and cassie for a rare genetic disorder at oakland Childrens Hospital happy birthday to you reporter shes treating them to a birthday party. At her house. Yea reporter the party is here because the family from reno is staying here. The twins, mom and dad spending the week sleeping right off carolines dining room. I get the most amazing doctor in the world. I mean, and the most beautiful friend at the same time. I mean, what else could you ask for . I mean, if you wanted a physician, i mean, you couldnt get anything better than this. I remember talking to you reporter it turns out theyre not the first outoftown patients they have housed over the years. Her three teenage daughters have not only become used to the unique house guests, they look forward to them. Its probably the main reason caroline chooses to erase almost every line between her personal and professional lives. I think its enriched the life the lives of my children. And i feel like its made me not only a better physician, but a better mother, a better wife, a better friend. Reporter its a Work Life Balance that may not work for everyone, but in this case, works beautifully. Dr. Hastings says there are practical benefits as well for doing what she does. Being able to observe her patients outside of a hospital setting, she says, gives her a better idea of what types of treatment they may need. Garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. Thank you, g
