marla tellez is joining us live from san jose toics plain all. good morning, marla. >> jon, good morning. we know balancing our own budget can be tough. imagine if you're a school district facing more state education cuts, you're forced to get creative. take for instance this one here. this is franklin mckinley school district in san jose. it's taking out short-term loans to make it through the school year. this is according to san jose mercury news. this elementary school district is borrowing on the market. mid year is february 1st. it's estimated the state will cut $4 billion that officials say that will force almost all of the state's 1,000 districts to make more cuts. this breaks down to roughly $180

per student. now i mentioned potentially more furloughs, but as far as layoffs, a state law stops districts for laying off teachers ahead of mid-year cuts. so teaching positions are relatively stable at this point. but it's a new story here in san jose. it's comprised of 17 elementary schools. they may have to cut the school year by three days. it all depends on what governor jerry brown cuts in february. >> thank you very much. got to keep the umbrella handy. time to check in with christina loren. >> it is that time again, isn't it. now you can see we're getting a little bit of rainfall. as we zoom in, not much action. just an isolated cell to the north of san francisco.

throughout the day today we'll see more of the activity. might see a couple isolated thunderstorms. it's cold though, so the chance is very light. as we head throughout the afternoon, it's going to get colder. we have temperatures only expected in the mid to low 50s today. even in the warmest aareas of the bay. we'll get a nice dry break for the most part on saturday. and then more rain on the way for sunday. also sierra snow winter weather advisory has been issued. if you want to hit up any of the tahoe resorts that open today, make sure to bring the chains with you. as you can see here, 10:00 a.m. we stop the clock on the future cast. we'll see more steady rain at that time from 10:00 to 5:00. we continue the clock. look at saturday nice and dry for the most part. staying cool with all the cold air moving in. take a look at what's headed toward us. all the yellow and red in here.

this is heavy to moderate rain. we're not expecting a lot of this to move on shore. at the coast you could pick up a quarter inch to half an inch depending on the setup. that's what we're watching for you. overall accumulations are looking good. probably around a quarter inch to half an inch in the cities that pick up the most moisture. we're talk about what this means for the sierra, how much snow we're expecting and we're already looking at the thanksgiving forecast. first we're always thankful for the traffic report ls. >> now i have to tell folks sad news. it's slow for 880 just south of the san mateo bridge. first we might affect folks itself. maybe we can't get that shot. i'll show you on the maps if we could take that full screen. in we'll talk about slowing hat the bottom of your screen from 892 to the construction which has not yet cleared by the union landing shopping center. a couple lanes blocked there. chp is told that folks are cutting through construction zone. so watch that. it may send more folks bailing

and san francisco and even south bay getting steady rain. that could make for a rough drive home. keep that in mind. good thing is we get the friday light typically. stop the clock for you again at 5:00 a.m. saturday morning. a nice dry break. that continues for the most part all of saturday will be dry. we'll see a few residual showers and cool, cloudy conditions. nothing to keep you indoors. until sunday you see all the rain on the way. that makes its way onshore until 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m. then it will clear out quickly. you'll have opportunities to get outside. this is what we're really watching for. a lot of ski resorts open up in tahoe today. and we'll see fresh powder on the slopes. up to two feet of snow in the highest elevations through the next 72 hours. another round of rain moves in wednesday in thursday. that's a busy travel time for us. on thursday, thanksgiving day, on and off showers, 64 degrees. let's check your drive with mike. >> we heard about the construction.

california's high speed rail plan just ran into a big problem. in washington the house passed a transportation spending bill. it does not include high speed rail funding for the current fiscal year. that means california should not inspect the billions of dollars in federal aid. so far california received less than $4 billion for the rail plan. officials say the entire project could cost nearly $100 billion. >> you might want to route thanksgiving travel plans through san jose's international airport if you haven't already purchased your tickets. they say they will not only be the least busy of the bay area airports. it's the least busy of the country's 50 major airports. sfo will be the fourth busiest. they call it the loneliest airport. >> so sad.

scott mcgrew is here to tell us about it. >> a college graduate in san francisco or san jose faces ha much different job picture than a noncollege graduate in the east bay or even on the peninsula. new data shows not only is the east bay not growing economically, parts are retreating. the unemployment rate is going up in okay land, berkeley, hayward and fremont. frooe mobt hit particularly hard. here's the data from the group, clabtive economic showing san francisco and redwood city growing so slightly. one percentage employment. san jose, cupertino, sunnyvale roaring ahead. 2% gains in unemployment.

the answer here is the growth is coming from tech. you already figured that out. in san francisco yelp will fire for the initial public offering of stock. they recently won court victories. this fellow stands to make tens of millions of dollars in the ipo as founder. thursday's sale of shares of angie's list similar to yelp went very well. the price rose from $13 to $16 in change. in the first full day of trading today. and if you're thinking of investing, i've added things to the facebook page. >> we look forward to checking that out. >> right now it is 6:26. still to come the days for san francisco's occupy camp seems to be numbered. find out why protesters get ready for another raid. >> and the investigation into a shooting that killed a vallejo

police officer. we'll have a live report next. >> and slowly and steadily showers are getting closer to the bay area. we'll tell you when they arrive at your city. and we have the all important weekend forecast in just moments. >> and this mor some delays in construction will cause big delays for east bay commuters. festive like champagne, and tastes great! martinelli's: since 1868.

>> it's not that great because folks are trying to get construction done before the weather comes in. they have to wait until the pavement cures. they cannot open the lanes until it happens. this will get better heading out of union city. >> it is 6:31. we start with sad news. this morning the flags at the vallejo police station flying at half staff in remember of an officer. a 19-year veteran of the force, james capoot was shot and killed chasing a suspect through vallejo. christie smith is live where a memorial is quickly gaining momentum. >> good morning, jon. more and more people are showing

up here, dropping off flowers this morning. some of them in tears. it's a very emotional day. one gentleman told me vallejo will miss jim. he was a heck of a guy. this started at the bank of america he used the car to stop the suspect's suv and then chased him on foot. they found him shot in a backyard. friends say he was the father of three, a coach, a marine who dedicated his life to service. he even took in two other children. i spoke with one woman who left flowers. she says she feels for his family as she just lost her 12-year-old son. >> i met him a few times before.

he has kids. it's hard for his wife and kids to imagine how to live every day without him. that's what i'm going through now. >> capoot was 45 years old. was once a vallejo police officer of the year in 2002. police did arrest one man. they haven't said much about him. they're telling us this morning that they're not looking for another suspect, at least this morning. they plan to have an update for us a little bit later. reporting live, i'm christie smith. back to you. >> truly a very, very sad story there. thank you very much. it is 6:33. occupy san francisco campers are expecting a raid on justin herman plaza at any time. the city declared that camp as well as the one in front of the federal reserve bank a public health nuisance.

final notices are post that had people need to leave the camp. they are posting a notice on their website that they expected the raid overnight, but it did not happen. day 27 and counting. the occupy protesters camped out on the wall desmite a warning from police, he will stay put. city officials wrote john okelly a letter saying he was trespassing. he plans to stay there for 99 days, though he admits he came down for a few minutes on saturday. the city says trespassing citations can cost up to $1,000 or result in six months in jail. there's no doubt the california school districts are bracing for an uncertain future, especially with budget cuts expected to come in february. for now it's all business as usual marla tellez is joining us live from san jose to explain how all of this is going to

work. >> good morning, marla. >> jon, good morning. most of the state's 1,000 school districts have been smart about it. some are forced to get creative. it is actually having to take out short-term loans just to make it through the school year. now according to the san jose mercury news, this school district is borrowing on the market. planning more potential furloughs. mid year is february 1st. it's estimated the state will cut under $4 billion. and officials say that will force almost all districts statewide to make more cuts. what this breaks down to is roughly $180 per student.

for the most part teachers are safe because of a state law that stops them from laying off them in anticipation of state cuts. most districts will not have to shorten the school year. again here it comprises 17 elementary schools here. it all depends on what the governor does come february. reporting live in san jose this morning, i'm marla tellez. jon and laura? >> thank you for the updates, marla. now time to get updated when it comes to the forecast. christina loren joins us. >> good morning to you. a nice sunny start in the south bay. we have clouds rolling into the north bay. and showers on the way. you can see where the bulk of the moisture is right now. right now between eureka. you're about an hour hout from

the showers. then spreading to the south throughout the remainder of the day could make for a rough commute home. we stop the clock at 11:00 a.m. showers will continue until 5:00 p.m. then saturday stays nice and dry, which is big news for the safeway food drive. you can see what's on the way for sunday. you get a nice dry break for the second half of your sunday, lasting into monday. but speaking of the food drive, if you're headed out to santa clara, i know that's where i will be with jon kelley. we would love to meet you out there. make sure to bring your jacket. every little donation help this is time of year. and so we want to get you out there.
