bodega bay to guerneville looking at that radar filling in just west of 101. we've got 60s out there widespread due to the gusty southerly winds and our wind advisory through four o'clock tomorrow morning. so 10 25 and even better than that up to 30 miles an hour in the south bay this morning upper elevations near 40 miles an hour mount diablo. so the gusty southerly winds with us throughout the day today allowing for that mild start. lore time yterday, a it's all due to the south winds here. so as we get into nine ten o'clock the winds just get stronger. look at the colors those purples indicating 40 to 50 mile an hour winds right on through the afternoon that includes down around santa clara. we'll see some scattered showers and this is the forecast animation throughout the rest of the day. so there's that line of storms that lines up pretty good with our radar and this pushes through throughout the morning hours then you'll see by noon time partly cloudy skies and heavier downpours throughout the north bay offshore over into the east bay and then as we stop

this at 3 o'clock still scattered showers some downpours the slight chance of a thunderstorm. i think we'll see a better chance into your monday and this takes us into late tonight. and monday where you see the rotation from the area of low pressure off shore and more of that instability moving up from the cell so that brings us a two-day total here that continues to bring above average amounts here anywhere from a quarter to a third of an inch and then looking at a half inch perhaps out towards our east bay valleys. you can see the santa cruz mountains and up in the north bay shaded in the green here indicating the higher amounts likely this is our two day totals and we're not done yet because that area of low pressure still lingering offshore into tuesday. so we're gonna add in some light shower activity the bulk of the day dry on tuesday, but so this event is going to kind of linger throughout the next several days. here's a look at today windy out there some downpours temperatures below average in the 60s and the 70s the accuweather seven day forecasts

wide each day. it definitely is a strain to keep up. the calls for service. we can't have numbers like this documents obtained by the abc 7 news. i team show huge disparities within the call volume across all sfpd's 10 district stations from late june to late august. for example, 109 officers were assigned to the tenderloin during these months more than any other district. whereas the park district a significantly larger area only had 47 officers was really think criminals are gonna head but the triage of officers is leaving other areas at higher risk abc 7's data analysis found during these months southern central northern and the mission district each had a higher percentage of life-threatening emergency calls than the tenderloin, but we're a site fewer officers for the item stephanie abc 7 news. if you have a story for the abc 7 news i-team go to abc7news.com slash i-team or call one eight eight forty.

here's a live look from the abc 7 exploratorium cam at pier 15. just beautiful. we are going to be checking in with lisa arjun in just a few minutes as we get started. a wet and windy week. all right. well, it's been a tumultuous travel summer as americans broke free of covid restraints and

took to the skies while flying get easier this fall 7 on your side's michael. finney takes a look ahead for us this morning. i've flown a lot of times in my life. i've never had an experience like that. christina cook had just left a peaceful yoga retreat in the countryside of portugal. she was filled with a sense of calm and serenity until she tried to fly home. i don't really know what caused such a horrible thing. she was instantly immersed in air travel chaos the began when her flight out of lisbon was delayed three hours then sat on the tarmac and toronto for two hours causing her to miss her connecting flight home to sonoma air canada locked its gate and ticket agents went home christina slept in an airport window sill. i used some of my technique i used to stay calm during the whole deal with the flight on the way home. i just didn't want to lose all

that. good mojo. christine was one of millions of passengers who paid high air fares only to face rampant flight delays and cancell. and during the peak days of summer travel as it happens the toronto airport had the worst global on-time record this summer with 51% of flights delayed think of white bad there at the beginning of the summer. it wasn't just your imagination more than one in four flights were delayed and three percent of flights nationwide were canceled that is significantly higher than the sort of historical averages and i think really kind of underscores just what a difficult time it was for many folks traveling scott guys have scott's cheap travel says airline's are struggling to ramp up after the pandemic low. hiring over summer has already helped reduce delays and cancellations airfares are also dropping prices at spiked by 37% over summer are now down by 40% or more the general rule of thumb. is that flights taking after

labor day tend to be about 50% cheaper than flights taken before labor day, but those prices won't last. the summertime rate if you wait to book those winter holiday flights until november say chances are fairs are not only going to not be cheap. they're not even going to be decent. they're going to be very expensive. i'm michael finney. have an on your side. we want to hear from you. you can send the team at 7 on your side your stories about buying a home a car paying off a loan anything that has to do with money. we want to hear about both your triumphs and frustrations go to abc7news.com slash 7 on to share them. now let's head over to grabbing their rain boots onur roads. yeah, and as we look at the bay bridge the east bay doing pretty well and the peninsula. well, it's a little quiet in parts of the north bay. so the radar just filling in right now with the cold front

bay some moderate rain here. look at just west of saratoga and as we look at a redwood city palo alto some light returns woodside 280 and over into the east bay from arundel walnut creek 680, san ramon valley there out through dublin some very light rain notice. there's a big hole over marin county there and then the radar filling in from guerneville west of santa rosa heelsberg and along highway 1 there, but as we getting closer to richmond and san rafael very light returns here san francisco quiet right now, but we will be looking at the rainfall to continue not only on and off today but in through your monday and even into tuesday 60s right now gusty southerly winds they have been very gusty from the south bay to the peninsula and that's where we've had the concentration of the light to moderate rain so far up elevations over 25 and 30 mile an hour wind. so we have our wind advisory right on through four clock tomorrow morning. and with those south winds were much much warmer 18 to 25

degrees warmer, south winds will continue to get stronger today as we go through the morning hours the front will push through but we're still looking at 40 to 50 mile an hour coastal winds and that's why we have that wind advisory and over the rest of the bay area 25 to 35 mile an hour winds. so the will continue to watch the front march to the east and we look through the east bay valleys here in the south bay. it was some heavier downpours, but as we get to about 9 10 11 the clock, we'll see things get a little bit quieter before the afternoon sun and looking at chance of more heavy downpours just randomly from the north bay and perhaps over into the east bay. this is 3:30. you can see a few peaks the sun santa clara but scattered showers around stopping this at 8:30 and you'll notice we're still around that periphery of that low spinning offshore and it continue to bring up that unstable air you add in some sunshine and we can get some thunderstorms again as we get into your monday afternoon. so as we look at the totals

through today and tomorrow afternoon notice higher amounts from the santa cruz mountains even over in the east bay doing better than parts of marin county you have to get up to sonoma here where we see rainfall amounts over an inch and a half. so very random as how much we get in the next couple of days, but no matter how you slice it. we do need the rain and they'll be a couple of opportunities plenty today into your monday and tuesday upper 60s with those gusty south winds showers downpours chance of a thunderstorm. we'll see about 70 at levi's stadium the accuweather seven-day forecast. it's gonna stay on and off soggy and we'll warm up autumn arrives thursday, but boy temperatures near 90 inland through the end of the week. all right. thank you so much. lisa now a piece of san francisco history is at risk of fading away boy scout troop 3 has operated in chinatown for more than 100 years with standing all of the ups and downs that have come with it, but they face a new challenges abc 7 news reporter. tim johns.

about 13 members chang says he believes cost as well as the neighborhood being home to many hard-working immigrant families plays a role. i see that and we're a lot different than a lot of other. troops they have a little more recent out more resource a lot more parents and able to to be involved in the program, but despite their reduction in size the sense of camaraderie and the lessons the scouts learn remain timeless lucian. lin has been a member of the troop for the past several years. he says he's made some of his closest friends in troop 3 and enjoys passing his knowledge down to the next generation. i try my best to try and like be the leader to them but also to like be the friend be as like a friend to them saying says following the pandemic the troop is stepping up its recruitment efforts. hoping to remain a part of san francisco's culture for another 108 years the things that we offer here is hands on learning experience building their confidence.
