>> and these customers agree. >> it's very sad to see a lot of family run places in, in downtown concord disappearing, and soon it won't be the same for these servers or staff here soon to be out of a job. >> i'm really, really disappointed and sad. i was getting really accustomed to the community and knowing all the regulars that come to the restaurant, these regulars fitting in as much time as they can before the doors close on december 31st. >> a lot of people that come here, that enjoy this place, and it's that this is the end of it. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> a south san francisco high school put on lockdown after a suspect scaled a fence and trespassed into a classroom. the incident caused a police standoff. school officials say the students were directed to safety as police responded. officers arrested the suspect. no students or school staff were

>> yes, it looks like a couple of weak systems before we get to the stronger ones, which the biggest one coming in is the soonest i should say is midday monday into christmas eve. and then we have another one after that that could be increased to a level two. but what we're seeing today is a level one. and tomorrow with the focus in the north bay. so as we head outside right now, you can see all the lightning strikes and not ruling out a rumble of thunder. thunder. but this certainly won't be like what we saw last week. the activity in terms of thunderstorm and lightning activity will be to the north of us, along the coast. there we're getting closer and you can see as far north as ukiah is where that lightning activity is. and then further south, looking at the showers that are beginning to move in to the coast here from jenner to bodega bay and still dry in santa rosa, that's going to change. and a lot of the activity headed into the north bay becomes more scattered throughout the afternoon. and that high surf advisory is certainly something we're keeping our eyes on until 4:00

on sunday, where we could see breakers as high as 20ft and of course, those rip currents. so things really getting going throughout the next day or so. conditions very dangerous out there. so keep that in mind if you're headed to the shoreline 53 in hayward right now. so a lot of 50s out there, upper 50s along the coast. so that's where it's mild. it's cool. it's foggy in parts of the north bay and east bay, anywhere from a couple degrees to about 13 degrees warmer out there this morning, 14 degrees warmer along the peninsula. so winter has arrived. it arrived at about 130 right before 130 this morning. cold winter rain the next couple of days. not a whole lot of precip accumulation, especially for the east bay and south bay. then we've got a wet and windy pattern for next week. but christmas, hanukkah trending dry and cloudy with a nice break before some stronger storms arrive after christmas. a pretty strong one for christmas eve. wind gusts up to 21 miles an hour. timing out the next several days you can see 6:00.

we've got rain in the north bay, and then as we go through about 10:00, you can see the scattered showers elsewhere. san francisco, the east bay, the afternoon, some breezy winds, the breeze will begin to dial back, and we've got a bit of a break throughout the afternoon. this is tomorrow morning, 24 hours away. we've got some showers. the next system sunday night into monday, and then you can see another big break here. so if you add up the rainfall through saturday and sunday, notice not a whole lot out there for the south bay. maybe 2/10 in hayward and upwards of a half inch to an inch in the north bay. if you're traveling, check it out. 40s and 50s in the pacific northwest. so cool there. and we're looking at dry and nice conditions for the middle of the country. had some snow in the northeast and some 30s up there by new york. so looking at cool and dry for hanukkah on wednesday, cloudy skies in the 50s. christmas. it's a nice break after some pretty good rain monday into

they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance. (♪) you really think you can get me to like dark chocolate? without a doubt. won't it taste bitter? not this dark chocolate. (♪)

now what? we wait. (♪) i can't... (♪) mmmm... it's delicious! mhmm. i told you it wasn't bitter. [laughter] from the lindt master chocolatier. discover excellence. expect delicious. we've got a cold front on the way. evidence of that. you can

see the instability with the lightning strikes. a rumble of thunder. not out of the question for the north bay, but also not very likely with most of the energy to the north. so certainly not a repeat performance of last saturday. but as we go in closer, you can see the rain showers spreading into the north bay from cloverdale to ukiah, down into santa rosa, and very little happening right now, but you'll notice the returns off the coast occidental there and closer to the shoreline. we do have the wind from bolinas and olema, and then we'll get into the fog in the east bay and eventually a few showers there. also a high surf advisory kicking up through tomorrow, 4:00 right now, 8 to 9ft. but we could see the swells as high as 20ft. and right now it is 50 in san rafael, with 50 in san francisco, 54 in oakland. so certainly mild with all the cloud cover. but it's cool. in the north bay. we do have fog in the east bay. temperatures are held up from the peninsula as

well. and then you'll see the cloud cover throughout the rest of the afternoon if you're not seeing some light shower activity. quarter mile visibility in concord. notice that mile and a quarter up through novato. so it is certainly kind of dicey out there that conditions getting a little bit worse throughout the morning hours. winter arrived while you were sleeping. so some cold rain throughout the day tomorrow morning. then we get a bit of a break before a stronger storm arrives later on monday into christmas eve. and that starts our wet and windy pattern that continues through the week ahead. christmas day and hanukkah will be dry. we need that break the rain focusing in on the north bay, and we could have some flooding by the end of the workweek. here's a look at the rain chances today. notice you know they're out there. it's not extreme, but once again, you'll notice that the forecast futurecast shows that the yellows are mainly up into the north bay. scattered showers throughout the late morning hours mid-morning into the afternoon from the east bay. then there's a break. here is

sunday morning, so a few more light showers from the east bay to the south bay. another level one for sunday. and then as we get into tomorrow night, a stronger system into monday. and then looking at that possible level two as we get into christmas eve, we'll have to keep you posted on that. that's a look at later monday adding up the rainfall today and tomorrow. the focus anywhere from a half inch to close to about 8/10 up in the north bay, a quarter of an inch in parts of the east bay, and lesser amounts in the south bay. but through the next week, look at the focus of the rain over two and perhaps three quarter inches in santa rosa with an inch down in the city. so looking at the streams and rivers, perhaps getting into some trouble there, some minor flooding by the end of next week after christmas. 62 in fremont, 55 in napa with those scattered showers. level one system today, tomorrow and then into late night monday. the rain picks up

into tuesday. that's our level two christmas eve and then dry on christmas day and hanukkah and then more rain, perhaps a stronger system at the end of next week. stephanie. >> all right, lisa, thank you. to sports. now tonight the warriors are hoping for a win against minnesota. and they need it after that embarrassing loss against the grizzlies this week. here's abc seven sports director larry beil. >> good morning everybody. you know the warriors had a great start to the season. but they have been in a freefall since de'anthony melton got hurt. they lost by 51 points in memphis thursday night steph curry held without a field goal. zero for 7 in 20 four minutes. warriors came out in slow motion kind of decelerated from there. so they were down ten. then they were down 20. then they were down 30, then then 40 and then 50. and just like no fight, the final was one 4493. grizzlies nba's biggest loss of the season. the dubs at minnesota tonight. and they know they got to find some answers here pretty soon. >> this is really about you know rediscovering our identity that we had you know coming out of

hawaii first few weeks of the season. we've lost that identity, you know. and we've got to we got to recapture it. our offense is hurting our defense and vice versa. when you're digging your way out of a hole, you have to dig. you can't have any complacency. i saw all kinds of complacency last night. >> women's hoops tara vanderveer at chase center to see the two teams she coached, stanford and number 11 ohio state. rough start for the cardinal. didn't have a field goal during a six minute span over the first and second quarters. they also had 19 turnovers for the game. first year head coach kate bay, tara's longtime assistant, really frustrated ohio state, 17 points off those turnovers and six buckeyes were in double figures, led by cody mcmahon with 16. and the cardinal just got crushed 8459. first game of the new college football playoff indiana and notre dame. i love that costume. first quarter hoosiers driving but curtis rourke picked off by xavier watts at the notre dame two yard line. big swing here because on the very next

play, jeremiah love takes the handoff in his own end zone. love loving every minute of it. and he is gone 98 yards past everybody to the house seven nothing irish to the second quarter riley leonard to jaden thomas for a five yard touchdown as notre dame went up 17 to 3 at the half. and it just felt like indiana had no chance at all defense in the second half of the irish as the hoosiers came in averaging 43 points per game. they didn't get anywhere near that in this contest. fourth quarter leonard a walk in touchdown as notre dame wins 2717. they advance to the quarterfinals in the sugar bowl. they will face georgia next. and a baseball item. the giants were among nine teams that exceeded the luxury tax threshold, and have to pay $2.4 million to major league baseball, a record $311 million was paid in penalties by nine teams total, led by the world champion dodgers, paying over 103 million in tax. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend,
