[ laughter ] >> because i'll be trained and ready to go. i tell you. honestly, i think any of the astronauts selected will do an incredible job in executing that mission. >> reporter: she's a fighter pilot and mechanical engineer by training but already spent the

past seven years learning a wide range of skills needed. she says her passion for exploration traces back to growing up in the bay area. >> i love to get outdoors and explore. i think the bay area is a great place for that but never did i realize that i would have the opportunity to go to space and even one day go to the moon. >> reporter: the love of outdoors is a common trade in woody who received his phd at u.c. berkeley. he did volunteer search and rescue missions in yosemite but his fascination with rockets started growing up. >> i got interested in building large rockets in moy parents' garage and it became a passion of minerally on. >> reporter: who among the 18 will walk on the moon will be decided later. others may do low tasks like many the moon has always been mysterious and fascinating from earth. >> i thought we'd go there now and explore. i think i'll probably be really excited to go outside and see what it really feels like to

[ laughter ] >> maybe. let me give you a look what is going on weather. the wet weather arrived. the rain started in the forth bay and moved quickly down to the south bay and east bay where the wettest conditions are right now. roadways will be wet for the everyone commute over much of the bay area and another wave of rain is on the way. here is a few looking back. temperature readings are fairly uniform mainly low to mid 50s. san jose, morgan hill and half moon bay and here is the view

looking northward from the next wave of rain we believe. current temperature readings in other locations, 49 in santa rosa, low 50s at novato and 48 fairfield and 50 livermore and the view to the bay bridge i should say, these are forecast features, light to moderate rain will continue in waves tonight and tomorrow another wave of rain tomorrow afternoon or evening into sunday and we'll start to see a little clearing late sunday and a dryier patter will be with us next week. the current storm that will be with us a couple days ranks one on the abc 7 storm impact and periods of light to moderate rain. it won't be continuous. this rain should be beneficial to the burn scare areas. here is the forecast animation. another wave of rain will swing st through overnight. going into early tomorrow morning we get a break in the middle of the day tomorrow although it won't be completely dry but looks like the rain will

lightening up. it will ease up until late tomorrow night when a wave of heavier, steadier rain comes through and by late sunday, the storms should be breaking up and winding down. rainfall totals will range from places like mountain view and redwood scity to .4 to well ove a half afternoon inch and it's snowing in the sierra and will continue for awhile. a winter weather advisory is in effect there until 10:00 tomorrow morning. we expect four to eight inches of snow up to a foot on higher peaks. overnight low temperatures will be a bit milder than we're used to recently. mainly upper 540s to near 50. just above 60 in most locations except a little cooler on the coast. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. through the weekend, we can expect periods of wet weather and a drier pattern monday and continues through wednesday and

clouds thicken on wednesday and there is another chance of rain either late wednesday or early thursday. a bit hard to pinpoint it right now but we certainly can expect some more unsettled weather late next week. larry and kristen. >> bring it on. >> need it. thanks. entertaining people while keeping them safe, the changing face of business during the pandemic and it's not just about the concerns, how hardly

your best is yet to come during the coronavirus pandemic, businesses have had to become resilient to keep their business afloat. the leisure center for the arts in walnut creek learned how to

adapt by offering outdoor movie nights and tours. it's pivoting to keep holiday cheer and traditions alive. melissa pixcar shows us the state of the arts. >> it's a true loss to theater. it was very disappointing we've lost an entire season of shows here at the center. we usually do about 850 performances a year in this building and play to about 350,000 people a year. my only hope is that we can get back to it soon and get actors working, designers working, directors working so theater within a year of coming back can be back where we were. and now it's like will we come back in december? i was thinking that we could do a live protection of the year in december and do "a christmas carol." we can't do that. covid has taken a lot of people bysurprise.

"a christmas carol" is certainly the best known dickins story and a message of hope. it's an exciting show. we usually sell out. we run the show for about two weeks, 16 performances and for most it becomes a holiday tradition. the plan was before we went into purple was we could have like any movie theater 25% or 100 people. and now, what we're able to do is we did a four-camera video shoot of a previous year that's spectacular. we are going to stream it available online and really make it a family experience that you can have in your living room on your tv, on your smart device. we've now learned a lot. we learned how to sanitize and clean everything. my greatest desire is to have families back. i'm looking forward to coming back and showing everybody how really safe it will be to come into the center.

>> music festivals are all over the world have been cancelled because of the pandemic. obviously, that had a huge impact on the musicians. joining me is francis can the "hardly strictly bluegrass music relief fund." thanks so much for your time this afternoon. your concert, sadly, supposed to be in october was cancelled, which led to the formation of the relief fund so what are you doing with that and what are your goals? >> well, needless to say, it was crushing when we realized we would have to cancel the annual festival. it was -- we realized it fairly early on and decided to switch to an online version and along the way, it was clear that the live music industry is being devastated because of covid. events were being shut down. shows were getting cancelled. people's livelihood were up ended. it was clear we would not be able to have the million people gathered for hardly strictly and so we decided to spend our efforts on this

version as well as an initiative to support the music community that's the life blood of "hardly strictly blue grass" for 20 years. >> you have grants available that range from 2,000 to $200,000. who qualifies for help here? >> so we decided to partner with a couple of organizations. we worked with the alliance for california traditional arts and with the center for cultural invasion to distribute about -- turned out to be $660,000 in aid via $2,000 relief checks. the golfs to support mu so we focus on people of color, immigrants, disabled folks ineligible for the regular state unemployment benefits because they were gigging musicians. that was part of the program and the other part, this is the local parts of things, we created a program to provide a bridge for the 15 smaller music

venues throughout the bay area that distributed $1 million in grants. it was based on the need of the individual venues so these were small to medium size venues that are such a critical pipeline for up and coming musicians for staff to learn the business and for -- and keepers of our cull do -- cultural heritage. every venue holds a special place in our community and their community so we created an initiative to try to support these small to medium size venues to get through covid -- >> i'm sorry to interrupt you. go ahead. >> please. >> i gowas going to say that wa the local version and we also had a national version. >> you have events on going. you mentioned the cultural significance here. your father warren started "hardly strictly." this is a labor of love for you and passion project. you want this to succeed? >> we want this to succeed.

we want the venues to succeed. we want the musicians to make it through. it's devastating to watch what the pandemic has done. obviously, very broadly but the music industry has hit us hard as any industry and so yes, this is something that's a labor of love for the hellman family very much so. >> you have an unusual resume you're a physics professor at u.c. berkeley and play two bands. randomly, how many physics professors have their own bands, francis? >> it's an interesting quite a lot of fathem are into music. the two bands i'm part of, these are family bands, i want to be really clear. they are family brands and we bring in long-time musicians

that can play with us. you know, it's a much treasured part of my life that i get to participate directly in the music industry myself. >> awesome you have two things going. you're not going to open for the stones if they open a tour. [ laughter ] >> i know no concert in 2020 but you have huge plans for 2021. got to leave it there for now but appreciate your time. >> thank you so much and best witches to everybody in the audien audience. >> francis from "hardly strictly bluegra bluegrass" relief fund. if you want to help any organization we have info on how to do that and click on state of the arts. >> this is one of the many creative concerts you'll see. san francisco's aquarium of the bay from the sharks of alcatraz. you can see everything that's swimming around the aquarium at

pier 39. the mission is to continue to address climate change as the aquarium works towards an am wisho ambitious project. >> it tells a story that highlights the problems and explores solutions as we look to a better world tomorrow. >> the aquarium of the bay is closed due to san francisco's stay-at-home order. it is now offering virtual tours and other online experiences. >> that's pretty cool. >> yeah. >> fish just rocking out there wondering what is going on there? >> reduce, reuse, recycle. it's not new but a san

all right, time for the four at 4:00. we're closing in on the authorization of the pfizer coronavirus vaccine here in the u.s. mark meadows has pressed the food and drug administration chief steven hahn to grant the emergency use authorization by the end of the day or reports are face possible dismissal t. the decision is expected sometime soon. that authorization -- i'll tell you, there is so much concern about this vaccine, that kind of news you're pressuring an fda official, to me spencer, this is the opposite of what we need to be doing. clearly, we want the vaccine

distributed as quickly as possible but if you try to pressure somebody to rush a decision, you could see how this could be spun in a different direction. >> i totally agree. i mean, once everyone agrees, everyone in the medical community agrees that the vaccine is safe, i would have very little he is tsitancy to t it. this is the opposite how things should be done. much of what has come from the top this year dealing with this virus has been the opposite of what should have been done. i'm not surprised. just disappointed. >> yeah, dion, thoughts? >> yeah, you know, i got to play devil's advocate a little bit here because i can understand the need to get this in the world that authorized a vaccine but pressuring anybody to do anything is not really the best way i don't think to get action done. can't there be conversation and some deeper discussions you would think? >> what is that?

government these days? language are you speaking, dion? >> one thing we agree on, people having confidence in the vaccine is absolutely critical so more people will take it because that's what we need. joe biden and kamala harris beat president trump twice this year. once at the polls, although arguably more than once with the lawsuits and also as the "times" person of the year. this marks the first time a president elect and vice president elect appeared together on a person of the year cover. harris is also the first vice president to receive that designation. "the times" says the ticket represents something historic not about the year that was but where we're headed as a country. dr. fauci and front line workers were named guardians of the year and absolutely kudos on that one, too. what do you think, spencer? >> first of all, it's a great

looking cover and something historic and i think they earned it. i think they earn that distincti distinction. it's hard to unseat an incumbent president and they did it. why not put them on "time" cover person of the year. >> what do you think? >> can i offer a descenting opinion? >> oh. >> dion, go ahead. >> i'm 1,000% behind this. yes, i do think the front line workers should be recognized, they got a new title. it's a win win all around. i understand there is controversy around it but i'm all for it. >> see, i would say it's dr. fauci that is deserving because -- >> yeah, good one. >> and biden and harris won the election but they haven't done anything yet. they have won. next year we'll see what they do but dr. fauci has been at the forefront of leading the fight against the virus.

>> good point. >> to me he's done more. they didn't ask me. >> to avoid the battles they created the new category, okay? >> something to argue about. as if we don't have enough things. a tough year for america's work force begging the question if there is someway that your boss could reward you for your efforts, what exactly would you want? a survey found that 86% would put a year end bonus at the top of their wish list. other items on the list include 73% saying they like the freedom to integrate personal and professional activities throughout the day that would make them more productive and 31% would like a stipend or reimbursement to improve the work from home setup because we'll be working from home for awhile. let me start this off by quoting the great nfl receiver randy moss, straight cash, homie. dion, go ahead. >> yeah, hold on.

randy moss' straight cash -- >> good idea. >> randy moss' straight cash had more zeros than yours. >> no doubt about that. he's a better receiver than i'd be. i'm not going to decline the extra zeros should they come my way. that's your take? >> i wouldn't decline, either. cash is always good. maybe cash with a nice gourmet meal and fancy bottle of wine. >> i could see our managers are going can we move onto the next segment in, please. >> who put this story on? >> if you work for a company that made a lot of money like amazon for example, cash bonus for sure. >> for sure. with takeout becoming the new normal, a san francisco restaurant will have nothing but reusable packaging. they posted on instagram the

plan to dump containers that would end up in the trash so if you order the popular roasted chicken, they will come in a stainless steel box or bowl with a lid. they can return them to the restaurant or drop them in a bin or arrange for curb side pickup. it's a san francisco company behind the zero waste container system. what a good idea. >> wow. >> i will say that chicken is the best, whose had it from zuni cafe? >> mmmm. >> right? >> with the bread salad. >> it really good. >> we heard from some members of the newsroom who said eww, that concept is a little bit disgusting because it's the time of coronavirus however, i would make the argument that it's been used for many years as ade a delivery vessel and it's the same to go to a restaurant and wash the utensils and you reuse them anyway.

i don't find i want gross whatsoever. >> do they bring the option of bringing your own container because that would be best, i would think? >> this highlights one of the consequences of the virus we haven't focused on. for the longest time we talked about plastics in the ocean and trying to resolve that issue with all the pollution and everything and then because of the virus, we need all the plastic and now we got to have something to do with it. so i think this is a good alternative. >> uh-huh. >> yeah. that's it ♪ we're going to find the perfect tree. we're going skating. we're going to nana's. wherever you go this holiday, chevy can help you get there. which is why we're making our chevy... ...employee discount available to everyone. the chevy price you pay... ...is what we pay. not a cent more. so wherever you go, happy holidays from chevy. use the chevy employee discount for everyone to get over six thousand eight hundred dollars below msrp on this equinox. get the chevy employee discount for everyone today.

all right. time for consumer news. 7 on your side michael finney with unfortunately, michael, another hack. >> one after another, larry. music streaming service spotify has found a data breach notification with the california attorney general's office. >> michael is having issues with his microphone so we'll tell you about the spotify story. it filed a data breach notification. the flaw was discovered last month but dates back as far as april. some of the data exposed included email addresses and passwords. affected users have been contacted. the federal trade commission is cracking down on prescribers that refuse to cover eyeglass prescriptions. it is warning of potential

violations which ensures consumers the right to shop. they must provide a copy of the patient's prescription to them even if they don't request it. now oakland base clorox said the shortage of disinfectant wipes could last until the middle of next year. the company says the recent surge in covid-19 cases is creating another surge in demand. so clorox says it's ramping up production and experts expect to make and ship 1.5 million packages of wipes daily by february 2021. good thing michael leaves us his notes. next week, san francisco is planning to open an amazing opportunity to the public. dion lim is live with a look at what you can expect. dion? >> yeah, kristen, this is really cool because basically, it's a trail that runs through a native marsh being restored and a
