first, let's get a check on the weather with meteorologist lisa argen. i noticed we're both wearing blue today. >> yeah, we are. but happy about the weather. the rain, which is welcome rain. but we've had some pretty good downpours and thunderstorms off the coast here for getting started. you can see the wet look outside. it is a level one system. so we are looking at the downpours. but this system to move through the bay area for the first part of the weekend, the first part of the day. and as we look at live doppler seven right now, look at how it lights up off shore there. i'm going to keep this loop going. so you can see all of those thunderstorms headed towards monterey and santa cruz right now. you can see the reds developing off shore. so, boy, the rain may have woke you up last night and will continue to see this heavy rain throughout the morning hours and parts of the bay area from aptos there, santa cruz up through scotts valley and a little tour shows the lighter rain from livermore to pleasanton and our inland valleys picking up about 15 hundredths over the past day or so. but as we go westward towards san francisco and along

the coast, you can see it's more scattered, but a more solid deck of rain from the city over towards hercules into walnut creek, vallejo and the north bay. wow. it has been coming down pretty hard. i kind of debated whether this would be a level one or a level two for the next few hours because it is slowing down. we're seeing those heavy downpours. the possibility of thunderstorms, the gusty winds and mild temperatures, upper 50s to near 60 right now. so we are going to talk about a mild, wet and windy start to your weekend. it will be much, much better as we go through the second half of the weekend. we'll talk about that and plot out the rain totals as well. coming up. gloria sounds good. >> thank you so much, lisa. and as lisa continues to monitor those wet conditions outside, you can keep track of the forecast with the same tools. it's all on our app or right here where you're streaming us right now after months of planning and a hectic week, the apex summit is officially over. and now the question is, how did

something that was on display multiple times throughout the week. on friday, the prime minister of japan toured stanford and took time to have meetings with the ceos of several local tech companies. at an afternoon press conference attended by abc7 news, he highlighted the continued partnership between his home country and the bay area. >> the japan is the largest foreign direct investor investing country in california and is a vital partner in terms of trade. >> earlier in the day president biden had a sit down with the president of mexico. there they discussed how to stop the fentanyl crisis that's hammered cities across the country, including san francisco. >> this is a matter of humanism. it's an act of solidarity. we are sincerely committed to continue to assist at our fullest capacity to prevent drug trafficking, local leaders say hosting apec is another way to push back against the doom loop

left my house, got into the car. it was pouring, it was windy. and then as i was driving in, there was even some ponding on the highway already. >> totally. it's pretty treacherous out there. that was the first thing i asked you this morning. did you get the rain? because it is really been coming down the next few hours, we're going to see some very heavy downpours. the possibility of thunderstorms very likely out there as they're already moving into santa cruz. so as you look at live doppler seven, boy, is it lit up right from the north bay. all the way down to the san mateo coast. and you can see those thunderstorms there are a lot of the heavy rain may have woken you up through the overnight hours. and as we look closer here, this is where we have the heaviest rain right now from santa cruz to aptos and the thunderstorm activity could hold together throughout the east bay, throughout the later morning hours. you can see the rain from san jose to campbell and a solid deck here from mill positas, the hills above fremont becoming a little more scattered on the peninsula. you can see san bruno and redwood city. light rain showers. the light

rain continues through san francisco, but it picks up as we get into the north bay over into the east bay. notice around the san pablo bay rainy for martinez and crockett and then as you head up towards nevada, we had very heavy downpours, still some pretty good rain up towards sonoma and we'll continue to see this hold together for throughout the next couple of hours. and then become more widely scattered later on today. but it looks like this system will be slowing down a bit. so staying with us for the first half of your saturday, so an inch and a third in novato so far, kentfield 1.81 almost a half inch in napa. nearly three quarters of an inch at sfo and you can see concord trailing behind but still more rain to come in oakland, almost a half inch of rain. so breezy the upper level winds, upper 50s to near 60 right now. current temperatures and what a cool view, right with the clouds. it is pretty rough out there. so if you don't have to go out between now and about 9:00, i would stay

in. so downpours this morning slick roadways, scattered showers throughout the afternoon and a dry pattern as we head towards thanksgiving the next couple of hours. notice widespread rain here, some very heavy downpours by 9:00. we still have some rain throughout the north bay. and this is where it's going to kind of continue to hold on from the east bay to the south bay throughout parts of the afternoon. then the rest of us will begin to see some clearing as we get into your late day saturday and then sunday looking much better. so anywhere from a couple of hundredths to maybe a third or better than that where you see some of those heavier downpours, here comes the wind. not only today with the heavy rain, but we're talking about a very gusty sunday as the winds switch around to the northwest in the sierra nevada, a couple inches of snow. the system just kind of too warm to bring anything more than about 2 to 3in. so for monday, upper 60s, tuesday day, we are mild and sunny. and then the day before thanksgiving could even see 70 degrees. so 60 out there with the rain ending

throughout the later, i should say mid afternoon hours. so the accuweather seven day forecast really today, the only day this morning with the very active weather and then you'll notice nice looking thanksgiving there with the very mild 70. >> wow what a quick change from all this rain to 70. >> yeah so i would definitely take it easy the next few hours here. >> yeah. and then tomorrow it looks like it's going to be a good day to be out and about. definitely. wonderful. thank you, lisa. well, when we return, ten years later and the battle is won, we check in with a young boy, also known as batkid, who charmed the bay area when he partnered with the make-a-wish foundation in 2013 my wife's name is joy. we've been married 45 years. i'm taking a two-year business course. i've been studying a lot. i've been producing and directing for over 50 years. it's a very detailed thing and the pressure's all on me. i noticed i really wasn't quite as sharp as i was.
