it's just mostly cloudy. i think we stay dry all day today, as the front is too far to the north to bring us any sort of moisture. 67 there, but santa rosa we're in for rain and wind starting at about 9 a.m, lasting through about 3 p.m. so it will be the north bay that's dealing with the stormiest weather. looking at rainfall totals, you can see that to the north. that's where we find some of the steadier accumulations, probably a quarter of an inch, if not half an inch in several cities in the north bay. and then those numbers really drop off. so just some drizzle, mainly in the east bay and in the city and then in the south bay, just mostly cloudy and remaining dry. so highs today we'll hit about 64 in the city only 59 in santa rosa with that on and off rain, 67 in san jose with mostly cloudy skies, 65 the high in concord. the weekend forecast. gloria coming up in just a few minutes. >> all right drew. thank you. so much. oakland airpot stopped in its tracks after trying to rebrand itself. coming up, the legal win for san francisco, forcing immediate changes and cracking down on prostitution activity in the city. >> sfpd is new program, they

months. >> that's san francisco city attorney david chiu, who previously filed a lawsuit against oakland, saying the name change from metropolitan oakland international airport to san francisco bay oakland international airport infringed on the sfo trademark, specifically with the san francisco addition to the name. >> we've invested hundreds of millions of dollars in building this brand. oakland has infringed on the trademark, essentially trying to steal the brand uh, and that has real economic cost to our airport and our region. >> but is it really that confusing those with the city of san francisco? believe so. >> but personally, i think it's much ado about nothing. >> san francisco, oakland we're neighbors. we always need to work together, but there is no partnership between sfo and oakland international and the judge here ruled that the new name implies that there was some sort of connection. >> i understand that a lot of

the customers that fly through here are getting confused with the name, and people that have never been here. as soon as they see san francisco, they actually think san francisco. they don't just keep reading and see it's actually on the oakland side or whatever. >> i think they should just stick with oakland. we're in oakland and it makes it easier, especially when you're booking flights as to what comes next. >> after this preliminary injunction that's dependent on what action the port of oakland, the owner of the airport, takes if they try to save the name san francisco bay. in a statement, they said we are continuing to review the recent ruling and considering all available options. j.r. stone abc seven news. >> after ongoing complaints from san francisco residents about street prostitution, police are launching a program to crack down on the issue. it's called the dear john program, which allows people to report prostitution activity with photos. sfpd will verify and send letters with the photo to the registered owner of the vehicle involved. it serves as a

deterrent to those who are purchasing sex. >> importantly, people soliciting prostitution will not have the anonymity they desire when paying for sex. receiving a dear john letter may also cause some uncomfortable moments at home. >> this comes a couple of months after some residents sued the city, claiming that shotwell street had become an epicenter for prostitution. cement barriers were recently installed on the street, but have proven to be more of a hassle than a help. >> san francisco's health department has been criticized for not doing enough to encourage people to go into drug treatment programs, and it is now focusing on a different kind of recovery campaign. >> the purpose of this campaign is to educate people that treatment and support services are possible in san francisco, to help people with fentanyl addiction and other substance use disorders. >> now, those who have been have been through treatment will be featured on billboards to encourage others to seek help. the campaign features nine people in recovery who have

found success in treatment because of our addiction. >> we didn't know that i was pregnant until i was having our daughter paloma, and we knew instantly that our lives had to change for her sake. >> i'm certainly proof that recovery works. i know that, i know that i've been blessed with friends, colleagues, and people in my life that supports my recovery. >> it does work and treatment works, but we got today and tomorrow we got to work on it again. >> the living proof campaign coincides with the expansion of the city's treatment on demand program. >> tonight, san francisco's union square is getting in the christmas spirit with the annual great tree lighting ceremony. mayor london breed is expected to be at the celebration. thed massive christmas tree is lit up union square for over three decades. it's a symbolic start to the holiday season, and that tree lighting ceremony will start at 6 p.m. we know a lot of

people will go out there, and it just looks so beautiful when it's all lit up and the whole area decorated for the holidays, that the wreaths on macy's beautiful. >> and we have rain in the forecast, but at 6 p.m. it won't bother the city, so they'll be just fine for the tree lighting, but it will feel like winter out there. it feels chilly right now. we have temperatures in the 30s and in the 40s. we'll take you high above in sutro tower. we have good visibility right now, but the clouds are quickly rolling in from the north, so we have wednesday showers here on the accuweather headlines. rain, wind and rough surf. we'll get to the timeline in just a second. still, the chance of an isolated shower on thursday. but for most of us it's just a mix of sun and clouds. a dry pattern does prevail friday and into saturday, so some better news there on the abc seven storm impact scale is a level one today for scattered showers. highest totals in the north bay and does get breezy later on today. so here's future weather. let's time it out for you. no issues for the morning commute. it's dry with increasing clouds. by 1030, the rain is moving into the north bay closer to. 12:31 p.m. that's

when i think oakland san francisco have a chance of seeing an isolated shower. but you notice areas like san jose, san mateo, fremont. it's just a mostly cloudy day. i think this moisture is very limited and not making its way too far south today. by about 430, we're pretty much done with any steady rainfall. and then we just taper to a mix of sun and clouds to finish out the afternoon. so looking at rainfall totals there, you can see highest amounts certainly. well to our north the city maybe a 10th of an inch throughout the day, a quarter of an inch in santa rosa and you can see a big zero. that rain shadow in effect for the santa clara valley, as we see, just mostly cloudy skies today. so highs in the upper 50s to the upper 60s. cooler in the north bay with the rain. a little warmer in the south bay with mostly cloudy conditions overnight. tonight we'll stay partly cloudy and overnight lows in the upper 40s to the lower 50s. we do have a winter weather advisory in effect starting at 10 a.m. today we are going to see some snowfall later on this evening. enough to snarl some traffic, likely on 80

and 50, and then another round of snow coming our way friday night so we could see our highest peaks. likely a foot of fresh snow in the coming days. accuweather seven day forecast shows you we are tracking scattered showers today and isolated chance tomorrow. drier and brighter friday and saturday. perhaps an isolated evening shower sunday and then early next week full sunshine is back guys! >> all right drew thank you. coming up, the seven things to know this morning. >> nature making a nuisance across san francisco. see how raccoons are changing the

discussion. we've been following this for quite some time. the city has been grappling with what to do about numerous rvs that are parked near irvington park. last night, the city council voted unanimously on a new ordinance with the goal of getting people living in those rvs to move. it limits rv parking in residential areas, requiring a vehicle parked in the same location for 72 hours to move at least 1000ft away. >> one we have to enforce this. that's going to take some time to scale up so we are we do want to have resources for these individuals, whether that's through a nonprofit, permanent, affordable housing shelters, all of the above. and so i'm i'm ready to move this forward. >> under the new ordinance, if a vehicle stays longer than 72 hours, police can warn the owner if they still don't leave. police can possibly remove that vehicle. >> antioch city council addressing a longtime issue with its police department. council members have voted to increase overtime pay for police. the

action authorized double the standard pay to sergeants, corporals, officers, community service officers and dispatch personnel for working extra shifts. it's part of the chief's effort to reduce violent crime in the city. >> and i think it would benefit us all, particularly the community, that we spend this money up front to have higher visibility presence and reduce these crimes rather than paying for them after after the fact. >> antioch has been short on officers, which has been a growing issue, especially with the rise in shootings in the area known as the sycamore corridor. the funds will come from previously allocated money from the council. >> this morning, small businesses in san jose's allen park have a new tool to help deter crime. yesterday they were given free sets of security cameras. this is all part of a pilot program in response to escalating public safety concerns, specifically among the immigrant community. >> and unfortunately, when crime

happens here in the city of san jose, a lot of times they target, you know, our immigrant community because maybe they're less likely to interact with our police department. and especially now with the presidential elections, there's going to be more of a hesitant hesitation for our immigrant community to reach out to the police department. >> local small business owners say these cameras are critical, and that the signals the city is listening and invested in their future. >> a popular bay area restaurant is in the national spotlight once again. alameda's fix queue was just named one of america's best new restaurants by the foodie website eater. the restaurant is known for its texas barbecue, indonesian fusion dishes, and really long lines to get in. in september, the new york times named fixed queue on its 50 favorite places to eat in america right now list. in august, texas monthly named the restaurant one of the best texas style barbecue destinations outside of the lone star state. >> looks good. yeah. well, now it is time for our abc seven mornings advance. it's our way

you into the north bay first. you can really see rain chances ramp up right around 10 a.m, and after that, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m, we're likely seeing steady rain, some gusty winds in the north bay into the early afternoon. but we'll flip the script and go to the south bay and look how different of a forecast it will be. the rain chances are pretty much nothing, jua blip right around 3 p.m. for an isolated shower. so the south bay remains mainly dry today. mostly cloudy conditions. it's areas to the north that will find the steadiest rain throughout the day. so looking at the forecast in the city and in oakland, we do have a chance of an isolated shower. that chance likely between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. so pretty short window here for any wet weather. san jose it's mostly cloudy and dry at 67, but santa rosa you have that rain and that wind between 10 and 3 today. steady at times. looking at rainfall totals again, the highest amounts in the north bay. and then those numbers really drop off as we head south. we still have a chance of showers tomorrow. we'll detail that in the winter weather advisory in ef

impact scale in effect today. it is a level one with the best chance in the north bay. scattered showers. it's breezy at times. and like laura mentioned, we do have some rough surf along the coastline. let's break it down city by city, because not everybody is going to see steady rain. this is not like monday's rain when we had widespread showers across the entire region. it's the north bay. let's take napa, for example, likely closing in on a quarter of an inch of rain later on today in the city and in oakland, a lot less. the best chance of just an isolated shower at times right around lunchtime. and then in the south bay you can see pretty much nothing. that rain shadow effect really takes hold. so it's the north bay will focus a lot of our attention on for this event. here's future weather. by 1030, the rain is beginning to move into the north bay. by about 1230. there you can see that's where we could see an isolated shower across parts of the east bay. and the city. much of the peninsula, the south bay remains very quiet, with mostly cloudy conditions. and then by three 4:00 pm, we're done with this front. it moves through pretty quickly. so looking at rainfall totals again, we're not finding a

lot of rain south of the golden gate. it's the north bay that will find upwards of a quarter of an inch of moisture. further to our north, much higher. ukiah could see more than an inch of rain out of the system, so dry and mostly cloudy in the south bay, rainy and cooler in the north bay. temperatures in the upper 50s to the upper 60s. overnight tonight it turns quiet, dry, partly cloudy, and overnight lows in the 40s and in the 50s. we do have a winter weather advisory that begins at 10 a.m. today through friday. up to a foot of snow, likely on some of our highest peaks. so it comes in two waves. we'll see some snow moving in later on this afternoon. this evening, a couple of inches, but that can still cause some trouble on 80 and 50. be aware of that. and then the next round of snow comes friday night and that's a heavier amount. so we'll likely see anywhere from 6 to 12in on our highest peaks through the next 48 hours. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. scattered showers today. an isolated chance tomorrow. then we're drier and brighter friday and saturday with our next chance of showers sunday evening, guys. >> thank you so much. new at

your gma first look i'm andrew dymburt, abc news, new york. >> interesting tactic there. well this morning there is trouble for spirit airlines. the budget carrier is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy after its failed merger with frontier airlines. spirit's stock price tanked by 45% just minutes after the wall street journal reported that news it sparked fears of mass cancellations and route reductions and layoffs, just ahead of what's expected to be a record breaking holiday travel season. already this year, spirit's scaled back growth plans furloughed workers and plan to sell planes. >> a health alert this morning if you're still thinking about scheduling your flu and covid vaccines, deadlines are quickly approaching. if you want the most protection before the holidays, here are some important dates for you to keep in mind. according to medical experts, in order to get a full immune response in time for thanksgiving, you'll want to be vaccinated by tomorrow. the deadline to be fully vaccinated by christmas is december 10th. if you're traveling for hanukkah, make your appointment

before december 11th and for new year's eve. the deadline is december 17th. >> there's a lot of people getting together. there are a lot of noses and mouths uh- in close proximity. that means there's a lot of chance of transmission. >> transmission of viruses like covid, the flu and rsv are of the highest concern. on top of vaccines, experts urge other preventative measures like masking and proper hand-washing. when out in public. a lot more news still to come here at 6 a.m, a big announcement from the biden administration this morning. and it could mean hundreds of new jobs coming to west oakland and confusion for travelers. >> why the airport in oakland is facing another roadblock in changing its name. >> and klay thompson's emotional return to the bay area. how the warriors paid tribute to the shooting guard. now on the dallas mavericks. >> plus, you could see flying taxis in one country starting in 2026, where construction is underway to build an aerial taxi port.
