closer look and show you where the showers are still falling right now. those are mainly over marin county. a little over the bay. drifting farther to the south along 101 and san rafael. seeing light additional showers. it is not substantial. not result in anything more than 1/100th of an inch of rain on top of what we picked up today. speaking of which, let's look at the amounts seeing the lowest amounts, the santa clara valley. 4/100th of an inch of rain for san jose. amounts elsewhere, limited farther south. picked up under 1/10th of an inch of rain. that is a quarter of an inch of rain for concord. over the north bay. the amounts variable. over 3/10th of an inch of rain. half an inch through napa and petaluma. a lot of variation as well. picking up a quarter of

an inch of rain. falling between the last 15 or 20 minutes or so. picking up half an inch of rain. you can see where the, where it will be squeezed out more as the terrain changes. we have additional rain that is on the way for tomorrow. let's look at our hour by hour rain chances. they are going to peak around midday to early afternoon. tapering off heading towards drive time. there could be puddles left over on the roads for the morning commute. should be a dry morning commute on thursday. once this chance of rain moves out, that is it for rain. these are the rain chances over the next seven-days, tomorrow represents the entirety of the rain chances for at least the next seven-days. we are going to settle into a quiet period of time. >> continuing the rain conversation, people were floating down san francisco streets last winter when that new year's eve storm caused massive flooding. it left a lot

over two feet of water during that new year's eve storm. it took them 45 days to reopen. now that the rainy season is back he is not leaving anything to chance. >> i am kind of expecting it. so, we have done upgrades to keep street water from coming in and also a backflow preventer. >> reporter: they poured a new foundation to reenforce their outer fence and instored a track that can hold industrial strength panels to keep out street water. it cost the business more than half a million s.we have a generator i power goes out if it is windy. some pumps for any water that gets in. we will see what happens. >> the city is also preparing for another potentially wet winter. they say it is investing over $600 million on projects to help reduce flood risk including one that will upgrade the sewer pipes on this stretch of 14th street in front of rintaro. however, that

portion of the project is not scheduled to begin until 2025. >> do you think that every, all of the things you have made is enough to prevent? >> i hope so. yeah, i do. i mean, i don't know. i hope so. >> reporter: now, sfpuc is offering grands up to $100,000 for eligible residents and businesses who install their own flood prevention projects. rintaro says they applied for that grant but did not get any funding. across the bay in oakland craft beer makers are struggling after a brutal 2023. andrea nakano reports it is not just crime keeping customers away. >> reporter: the owner of tiger's tap room near jack london square. to say 2023 has been tough would be an under statement. >> it was hard. i almost closed down in october. >> reporter: it was his dream to open this space, tiger's tap room opened in 2018 as a place for people to gather. and enjoy

the best of local craft beers. >> i did not think i would be in the situation five years after being open. i thought i would be flourishing at that point. >> reporter: in the last five years he has seen a number of fellow business owners be forced to close-up shop. >> it is stressful, very stressful. i mean, honestly, to get through this winter i have had to cut staff hours, i have to cut inventory, and order to make it survive. >> reporter: it is not just about the crime in oakland, he says weather has played a key role as well with rain this past year, wiping out the outdoor beer garden for months. then, there is the economy, and inflation. >> beer is made of grain. the cost of grain, bread, all of that, gone up because of the war in ukraine and that impacts everything, right? so, people just have less to spend. >> reporter: so, on this

wednesday night the craft beer community came together. a pub crawl of six local craft beer bars and restaurants to toast for a better year in 2024. >> i feel like today is a great example of people showing up and answering the call to help.

the holidays. there are metal detectors at some, the rabbi says the big church next door he feels has no need for extra security. >> the fact that the jewish community has to invest in security because people are speaking in ways that are so harmful and so hateful, it is a huge disappointment. >> the foundation installed video monitoring at its mosque at belmont and community center in burlinggame. >> house of worship, be ita i mosque, a church, a synagogue needs to be a safe and protected place for people to connect. to feel the same with jews who are feeling the anti-semitism need to be protected in we are making sure we are a place that people will come and celebrate. it begins at sun down tomorrow. lighting

the first calendar on the huge menorah in union square at 5:00 p.m. we asked sfpd if they are planning extra security for that event. no word back from them. oakland police are not aware of any credible threats to hanukkah events. political debates are rarely friendly. the candidates tend to be at each other's throats that is what prompted this reaction. >> i love all of the attention, fellas, thank you for that. >> the big target on stage tonight in the absence of president trump. the judge said he never has handed down a sentence like this. the woman who will now have to sling fries for a living after her viral fast food freak out and she is not just ready for her close-up, she is ready for her forever home. the senior dog getting

everyone started to get really upset at that point and people started crying. a second when -- i thought ooh [crying] -- i thought that was it. >> vegas is still scarred from the 2017 music festival shooting that left 60 dead and hundreds wounded. it was the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in american history. something was different at tonight's gop, it was the target. instead of going after trump primarily, they went after each other. but former u.n. ambassador nikki haley took the brunt of it likely because she is doing the best with donors >> we know from her history she will cave to the big donors when it counts. >> you have a corruption problem. >> i heard from nikki earlier. she said donald trump was good on trade. he wasn't. >> i love all of the attention, fellas, thank you for that.

end. storm tracker will move farther to the north and continue aiming a lot of rain towards the pacific northwest. flooding problems over the last couple of days, no significant issues, we have a couple leftover showers zoomed in on those earlier. moving to the north and south. not entirely dry out there the rest of tonight. but, mostly dry until the next wave of rain starts to hit the coast of the north bay. right as the sun is coming up tomorrow. the band of rain is going to move from northwest to southeast across the bay area as we head through tomorrow morning. it looks like a second area of rain is going to develop as well. once the first batch moves through we are not done. early afternoon, it will be moving back through the north bay with a potentially wet afternoon and evening commute once again. earlier, a bit optimistic that maybe we would be able to dry the roads up before that afternoon commute. not as optimistic on that regard heading into tomorrow. we will keep an eye on things heading through the day. not going to talk about a lot of rain, a few/100th of an

inch of rain. widespread basis, higher elevation spots. potentially picking up another quarter of an inch of rainfall. that will be it for awhile. snow in the high sierra, adding up snow. they will get another 1-4 in general. again, winter weather advisory continues through 4:00 p.m. tomorrow. chain controls in effect through the higher elevations, road crews should have all day friday to catch up. if you want to take advantage of the snowfall on ski resorts i think it will look good friday and friday evenings on the road. temperatures, lower to middle 50s. down to 48 degrees in santa rosa. mostly ending up in the middle 40s. the wave of rain moving in. again, it will come at us in a different line and we will have time in between for the temperatures to warm up to a couple degrees above normal. three degrees above normal. the normal high is 60. high temperature, 63 degrees. one of the warm spots across the bay area. for the rest of us where the rain arrives earlier it will keep most of us close to what is

normal. around 59, 60 degrees, average high temperature for all of the bay area. does not matter if you are along the coast or inland. everyone is in the same playing field. that is the case for friday and saturday as well. not much change to our temperatures to finish off the workweek and heading into the weekend. but, there are changes a little farther down-the-line in the seven-day forecast. not in terms of rain but temperatures. we will look at the out look, start with the inland areas of the bay area, temperatures reaching up to middle 60s. continuing in that territory on tuesday and again on wednesday. we get into middle december, running 6 or 7 degrees above normal for this time of the year and temperatures around the bay, similar pattern. not quite as far into the 60s literally a degree or two cooler than the inland parts of the bay area. not a lot of variation, what you don't see beyond tomorrow any rain chances. not only are we drying things out for the duration of

the seven-day forecast. maybe a chance by the end of next week and into the following weekend. a huge maybe at this point. unusually long stretch of calm weather as we head through mid-december >> paul, thank you. to find his missing dog all he had to do was look up. 25 feet up a tree to be exact. the owner's theory on how this shepherd got up here in the first place . hey, straight ahead in sports, the 49ers one day into the real preparation for another wrestle with seattle. there is another 49er that did not finish the last game and i know is ready to get after it. the golden state warriors keep grinding, tonight, they did someth
