faster. >> amazon says many of those hired for the holidays become permanent employees. for any details about upcoming job fairs with amazon look for the story on abc7news.com. a popular san francisco blog and its sister sites in new york, chicago, and l.a. have suddenly shut down. sfist has posted news and events for san francisco. the announcement from the company's ceo comes a week after the staff at a sister site in new york decided to unionize. they said reaching a decision wasn't easy but the company hasn't made enough progress to support the effort and keep the blogs running. >> i'm sorry to see that. although this weekend's storm is expected to be light here in the bay area, other places like yosemite are bracing for impact. yesterday the park was socked in by fog. disappointing tourist who is came to see the sights. the park is open this weekend.

the decision to reopen roads or keep them closed will be made monday. a contra costa county bridge that collapsed last season finally reopening. sky 7 was over the bridge on alhambra. a look at the damaged bridge just before crews began clearing the site earlier this year. it's a popular route. we are tracking some rain this morning. straight over to meteorologist mike nicco. hi, mike. good morning, natasha, reggie. here is one of the areas dry. 280 at 17 in san jose. though we've been seeing rain in the mountains, not quite spilling out into the heart of san jose. gray today. scattered light rain. tonight steadier rain and mild temperatures like this morning and tracking the storm for next week in my accuweather seven-day forecast. radar returns to darker green over pittsburg. railroad avenue and right on highway 4 there.

that will head to the north. right next to 80 and that will head north also. napa, heading off to the west. you can see upstream what happens to be either to the north, you can see that storm coming in that way, or down to the south. it seems to be shouldn'ting more to the east. that's why i think our best bet of measurable rain is right now. it becomes more scattered by noon and very isolated by 4:00. most of us dry this afternoon. some sprinkles from time to time. as we get to 10:00, you can see that light to moderate steady rain moves in and that will be the case overnight through 8:00 tomorrow morning. then by 2:00 at the latest moves out of the south bay and we see some sunshine break out from north to south by the time it

sets at 6:08 and sunday it looks quiet for most of us. so by 9:00 you can see a little bit out there and then it starts to fill in as we head to the overnight hours and into tomorrow morning. third of an inch around the bay and up to half to two-thirds of an inch in the north bay. sue? straight to the mcarthur maze where you can see we have all kinds of activity here. that curve right there, the two right lane and the left lane traffic is squeaking by in the middle lane and it is stacking up now on to 580. a trouble spot eastbound from 580 headed west to the eastbound 80 interchange there in the maze. and now another problem, this is the third accident this morning for the waldo grade. this is now a sig alert issued by chp.r is

(dog grunting, panting) is... is he okay? real people? living and breathing. hopefully not breathing like that. for all the things that keep you up at night, anthem blue cross has a solution.

5:52. a star on the hollywood walk of

fame, salena. that honor comes more than 20 years after her former employee shot her to death in 1995. los angeles' mayor will declare today selena gomez day. a small group of strangers conceived what have would become the aids memorial quilt. >> this was a radical statement from a community desperate to be seen. and three decades later now one of the city's most prominent churches has that on display. panels are now hanging inside the grace cathedral. a message of compassion and support to the lgbtq community. >> that's the power of the quilt. to have that in our space feels like, i don't know if we dignify it so much as it dignifies us. what an honor for us to host such a beautiful piece of art that is really more than art.

it is a sacred statement about the value of human life. >> the memorial quilt display culminates with a special event at grace cathedral on december 1st which is world aids day. one of the most common treatments for heart trouble has been found to be ineffective. a new study shows heart stents do very little to prevent heart pain this re tiny mesh wires used to open blocked arteries and the surgery is risky. a study in the medical journal lancet finds it only doesn't make a difference in the chest pain heart patients feel. live doppler 7 and the big picture on what will happen the rest of the day. you see the moisture coming in from the west will keep us gray today and muggy and at any time we can turn in some scattered rain, even some scattered sprinkles to scattered rain. you can see by 4:00 just about

all of us are measurable rain except the peninsula. by 10:00 the north bay starts to get more rain, and the rest of us get more rain overnight through 8:00 tomorrow morning. by 2:00 it's gone. let's take a look at what will happen sunday. it's looking a lot drier. mostly sunny at levi stadium. cardinals in town to take on the 49ers and jimmy garoppolo. 60 to 63 degrees. sue? a good visual, that gentleman. just saying. here we go. the mcarthur maze, nothing funny here. an accident blocking the right-hand lane. some of the transition from 580 westbound just sneaking by here but they have done a traffic break, the right lane/left lane situation so they're trying to sneak by a bit. you are backed up to highway 24 on 580 and the approach. sig alert over the waldo grade with an overturn blocking the two right lanes. this is the third accident on the waldo grade this morning. the other two have since cleared this will be a while.

in 2016 after a car hit a sea otter here. you can see how that might happen. the car is careening straight towards that sea otter. ever since then workers have been trying to get sea otters to use this cross walk. as you can see they managed to convince one to do it. it's working. i know. i just blew your mind. i know. i know. pretty cool. >> i didn't know they were the size of a dog. >> they're pretty big. males can be five feet long. >> look at you. new at 6:00, can an at home dna kit help control how well you age? the lines are forming in the bay area for the new iphone x. we are live in palo alto where some people have been waiting for days.
