rohnert park. it gets lighter as you go eastward. low continues offshore, right along the coast we're looking at rain but downtown san francisco, we're looking at dry conditions. the peninsula, not bad. on highway 101, 280 you are on the edge with gusty winds accompanying some of the cells. more showers offshore but the low continues to track to the south and east. it will quiet down this afternoon. few sunny breaks. still a chance of showers over the 49ers stadium for later on this afternoon. rain is in the forecast for thanksgiving. i'll have detailed outlook coming up. >> we'll be back with you. >> breaking news right now in oakland, occupy protestors are waking up in a new camp this morning and facing a showdown with police. the demonstrators tore down a fence around a vacant lot yesterday after being kicked out of the plaza last week.

john alston joins us live from the encampment at 19 and telegraph. police are ordering them to get out? >> that is right. in the past hour, the tents are now down. there is a little bit of a confrontation, a standoff with some protestors who are still here, but the tents, 20 or so tents that were set up at 19 and telegraph are down. a line of 50 police officers moved in ordering for the protestors to remove their tents. the plan is that the protestors can still stay in the area and stay in the park. police do not want tents. so the protestors complied. they started pulling down tents and have moved about a block away. there were probably as i said 20 or 30 tents, maybe hundred or so protestors this morning. police say there was no problem overnight.

no arrests, one resident said some of the campers were throwing rocks and drinking. a much quieter than yesterday evening around 6:00 when an estimated 700 protestors who had just conclude add march stormed over the fence that was around this area at 19th and telegraph and overtook th patch of land. there was a boom box. police let them have their time, gradually it filtered out and the plan, once it got down to a manageable amount of people, police ordered them to remove the tents which oakland police did do around 8:00 this morning. the other encampment is at snow park. there is still some campers there at 18th and harrison. police have no plans to remove that encampment but oakland police yesterday and few days earlier handed out violation notices telling protestors at snow park they needed to leave.

welcome back. time right now, 9:39. breaking news in oakland.

as you can see from sky7hd. we are showing you a showdown between police and some occupy protestors who set up a new camp last night in a vacant lot at 19th and telegraph. they were taken out around 8:00 this morning and told they cannot camp there. we are told by our reporter on the scene, john alston, this has been a nonviolent confrontation. the tents have been packed up, but as you can see again, they seem to be having some sort of showdown there with police. we'll stay on top of this and bring you everything tonight at 5:00, 6:00 and 11:00. >> we can see from there, no rain in oakland. >> no rain in oakland. parts of the city are dry. some of the rain is reaching our east bay communities. really, it's a tough one to tell you where exactly it's going to rain.

we are still under unstable air mass, heavenly has a winter weather advisory. they only picked up an inch. the snow was going, half a foot at kirkwood. we do have slick roadways, a couple more inches. 4:00 is when the advisory will be lifted. closer to home, you see the raindrops falling there. we picked up anywhere to quarter an inch to an inch in the north bay. sutro camera, we have the fog along the shoreline. with the areas of rain and lightning, breezy winds, as well. live doppler, it shows the picture well where we've got heavier rain at the coast. as you head inland, it really just doesn't make it any further east. so the track of the low continues down towards the coast into southern california taking the rain witness. in the meantime, san francisco, you are wet around slope

boulevard. also across the east bay into the bay bridge, alameda into san leandro and fremont, hayward beginning to see light returns. further south around san jose area, dry right now but more rain in los altos and off the coast from santa cruz and monterey. today the trajectory of the rain will take most of it to the south and east but that is not before we see maybe another tenth of an inch across the bay area. that is because this area of low pressure is so close to the coast. 49 in mountain view. 52 in san jose. 50 in los gatos. scattered showers continue today. chance of thunderstorm, sunny breaks and fog will form overnight. then we're try for the rest of monday and tuesday. by midday up in the north bay, rain returns right through thanksgiving. maybe an inch with that system.

the front pushed through overnight while you were sleeping. now we've got an area of low pressure spinning off more showers into the south bay. we'll dry out first in the north bay. that will be in the afternoon. then we'll be looking at more showers right through the late evening. this is the setup. we've got an area of low pressure continuing offshore. look at the rain line. it doesn't head far inland. look for maybe a wet day around south san francisco for the football game and into the east bay. you won't see a lot more rain. it's going to be wet and chilly with numbers just in the 50s. we begin to see it change by tomorrow. high pressure builds on in. winter weather advisory until 4:00 in the sierra nevada and next system, it's coming down by midday wednesday. then by thanksgiving we're still looking at the rain. so today, not going to get rid

of out anytime soon. scattered, hit or miss in san jose. then ahead, a few dry days and then even after thanksgiving, looks like we'll be flirting with showers here and there. >> we need the rain but i hate to see it on thanksgiving. >> i know. the nation of sierra leone is less an decade from a civil war that decimated its people. for women and girls the challenges are immense. girls are often subjected to jenital mutilation. with a focus on education and empowering women things are changing. here is carolyn johnson with this morning's assignment 7 report. these are the faces of the future, boys and girls excited to learn but continuing their education into their teenage years will be a challenge
