went right through the windows breaking most of them. and tonight we talked to a woman who said that the tornado ripped off part of her roof. my god. caught off guard, people yelled as tree branches and debris came raining down on them, while those on the road described frightening drives. the tornado hit around 140 yesterday afternoon, flipping cars upside down and on their sides. one person pulled out of a vehicle was critically injured. we have two of the people that were taken to the hospital were released. we still have one person. as far as we know. they're still in the hospital right now. the tornado also ripped part of the roof off 86 year old carlene larue's mobile home. it was a big bang. boom. it sounded on this wall. and then the house shook. she says she found her crumpled roof a couple blocks away. the tornado also took out power

lines and caused major outages. pg&e crews worked overnight and most of the power has been restored, except for more than a dozen traffic signals. the tornado also sent a huge ponderosa pine slamming down onto the roof of scotts valley middle school. the school will be open tomorrow, but the damaged classroom will be closed to students. so the next step is to repair those traffic signals. and that should happen sometime tomorrow. and then also to remove the rest of the debris. but judging by the size of these branches that are still left here, it's not going to be an easy task. reporting live in scotts valley, marianne favro, nbc, bay area news. there's a lot to clean up. marianne. thank you. one of the questions looming tonight. why was a tornado warning issued for san francisco, but not for the santa cruz county, where one actually touched down? our lisa gore talked to the national weather service to get some answers, and

her report is coming up in about ten minutes. let's take a live look outside right now at the view from san bruno mountain. that is our storm ranger, and it is scanning and it's seeing more showers on the way. let's check in with meteorologist rob mayeda, who's got the updated timeline on all that? yeah. calmer day today after the severe weather start. we had to the weekend. we had the tornado warning, the first ever issued for san francisco for an event that included 80 mile per hour straight line wind gusts down to sfo airport, san francisco and san mateo counties. and as you just heard, the ef one preliminary rating on that tornado at 140 yesterday afternoon in scotts valley. widespread tree and power impacts. now, today we've had a break, though we do have more rain on the way tomorrow. but the important factor here is the rain that's coming in tomorrow. mostly light to moderate and storm ranger is scanning the skies, not seeing much currently, but as we move up the coast here, you can see up on the north coast. that is where the rain is right now. and just in time for tomorrow morning's commute. plan on some ponding on the roads for a few areas here

in the north bay. generally about a quarter inch to a half inch of rain for part of the north bay. less as you head south of san francisco. so coming up, we'll take a closer look at the incoming storm, hour by hour, a little bit of a dry pattern setting up for the middle part of the week, and then another stormy pattern as we head towards next weekend. the details coming up in the seven-day forecast in a few minutes. all right, rob, thanks. pg&e crews are making progress as they work to restore power following yesterday's storm, but some 5000 customers are still in the dark. many of them are in the north bay. nbc bay area's christie smith spoke with people trying to stay warm until that power comes back on. w when did the power go out? yesterday morning at 9 a.m. or so. andrew hoskins is looking forward to getting the lights back on in his court of madera neighborhood. we just try to layer up. we mostly for the our toddler. it has been challenging because we need to have her wear more stuff and then our baby monitor doesn't work. he says no power complicates things, but

they got creative and made it work. another neighbor sees it this way. it's very inconvenient. they use flashlights and waited for updates from pg&e. this morning there was another message which said the power will most likely be restored to today by 9 p.m. the utility says it's a storm related outage at the height, about 4500 customers in the area were without power. crews spent much of yesterday and today evaluating what needed to be repaired. we've seen a lot of vegetation impacting our lines, trees down, wire down, that sort of thing. today, pg&e gave an update after the powerful and windy storm moved through the bay area. the utility says it uses technology that helps pre-position crews and equipment ahead of the storm, and has about 5000 workers and contract partners working on restoring customers across the state. they say crews have made significant progress. earlier today, about 17,000 customers were out in the

bay area. our crews are making good progress with restoration. we anticipate most of those customers being restored today. in some areas where we've seen significant damage, we may have a few customers out that will be focused on restoring into tomorrow. for me, there was a lot of wind and it was a lot of shaking. neighbors we spoke with say the storm was strong. they're ready to have the lights back on before more rain arrives. christie smith, nbc, bay area news. let's go up to the sierra now. roads are thawing. this is what it looks like on i-80 at castle peak. you see, we can finally see the road. that's a start in the right direction. no chains required. drivers this weekend have been dealing with ice and snow as they try to reach the ski resorts. many having to stop put on chains. chain installers say it's been a long and very busy weekend. everybody is driving good. we haven't had a lot of wrecks. it's just been a tremendous amount of snow and they just couldn't keep up with it. with all the snow equipment.

shortly after, beringer and another meteorologist drove north to the city to survey the richmond and golden gate park. they combed through the park and all of the fallen trees, and while there was damage, they did not see signs of a tornado. just as they were wrapping up, that's when they got the call to race down to scotts valley. and that's where they concluded a tornado did touch down. after surveying the damage, the team determined it was an ef1 strength due to the cars that flipped over. today, the question many are asking why was a tornado warning issued for san francisco and not for santa cruz county? with with the lack of ground verification and just taken into account what had happened earlier in the day, and having the knowledge from us surveying that the tornado actually didn't touch down in san francisco, i think that kind of prompted, you know, a little hesitancy after a long day of chasing storms in two places, learn more about these damaging

weather events in san francisco. alyssa goard, nbc, bay area news. the sonoma-marin area rail transit has extended its temporary closure until tomorrow. smart suspended service to test the system in preparation for the opening of its new petaluma north station, and it was expected to reopen tonight. but the closure has been extended because the crews encountered issues during the testing. they're also cleaning up after the storm caused downed trees and power poles and did some track damage. smart says it is providing bus service to customers and does expect to restart service tuesday. okay, not just in new jersey anymore. people in southern california are reportedly seeing mysterious lights in the sky. take a look at this video from riverside county. it's believed the objects are drones, like the phenomenon in new jersey. it's not clear who is flying them or why the drones are considerably bigger than the toys many people have seen in recent years. one man says the ones being spotted are the size of cars. i've

played with drones as a kid and you know, i've had the little tiny square ones or whatever, but these ones aren't like that. and so they're just giant triangles with lights on them that are dead silent. okay. the federal government says while it doesn't know exactly what the objects are yet, they are not dangerous. as that mystery behind the drones grows, so does the anger over whether enough's being done now. the uptick in drone sightings has people and lawmakers alike demanding answers. and now the feds are deploying a new tool to try to figure out what's going on with those mysterious drones. here's nbc's maya eaglin. they're everywhere. tonight, growing calls for action over the mysterious objects being reported in the skies over new jersey and new york. there's another one over there. an fbi official says they've received thousands of reports over the past few weeks, with less than 100 of those warranting further investigation. but whatever it is people are seeing, local lawmakers want answers. our

local people who have questions about these drones should not have to shake an eight ball to get an answer. today, senate majority leader chuck schumer urging federal officials to use special drone detection technology like the robin radar. there certainly is the technology that can track the craft with precision and determine what the heck is going on. new york governor kathy hochul saying federal partners are sending a drone detection system to new york, and homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas says there is no sign of foreign involvement. i want to assure the american public that we are on it. but despite these assurances, people we spoke to today want more answers. are you skeptical when you hear that? i mean, it's a security threat to the whole world. so i don't know how they can say that. meanwhile, while reports of mysterious objects in the sky are being reported across the country and some local law enforcement are taking action, boston police arresting two people who they say were flying a drone dangerously close to logan airport in ocean county, new jersey. the

sheriff's office there showed us how they're using their own drones to keep a close eye above, maybe see if we can see where they're taking off from or where they're going to, so that we can just gather a little bit more information. adding to the concerns in the air, the faa now saying they've received multiple reports of people shining lasers at acraft in airspace spanning new jersey, new york and pennsylvania. i started seeing a green flash around the cockpit of the plane. ken dietz, a private pilot, says in his 30 plus years of flying, he's never experienced a laser being pointed at him. they were definitely tracking me. it stayed on me for a period of time. look what's back again. same spot as last night. for some residents, answers about the growing confusion can't come soon enough. why haven't they, like, found the origin of the drone? i don't know why. that's a hard thing to do. that was my eaglin reporting back here at home. san francisco firefighters worked quickly to put out a fire at the hunters point naval shipyard. it sparked around nine this morning. crews got it under control in about 15 minutes. no

one was hurt. the cause is under investigation. just a few hours before that, a separate fire broke out at a warehouse on mariposa and minnesota streets. it started around 6 a.m. in a three story commercial warehouse. this is right across the street from ucsf benioff children's hospital. fortunately, crews were able to get it contained quickly and no one was hurt. a huge effort to make sure families in need get to experience some holiday cheer. hundreds of volunteers spending the day wrapping presents in burlingame. all part of the annual holiday helping hand. the event is organized by moms against poverty. in the name of that organization tells you all you need to know. the group has spent the last couple of weeks collecting new toys, and today members wrapped those donations to be handed out before christmas. organizers say it's an event that they wait for all year long. every year it's gotten bigger and bigger, and the participation of the community has gotten bigger and bigger. volunteers were treated

to holiday music, treats and an appearance from santa himself. all right. let's take you up to the sierra now. new video out of tahoe. take a look. showing white winter wonderland. that's beautiful. yes. right. more than 11in fell in the sierra yesterday alone. and there's a lot of people heading up to tahoe this weekend. it's day two of the tahoe live music festival. the big headliners include grammy award winning dj diplo. and then today on day two, the festival announced the big headliner, rapper lil wayne canceled his performance. right? no word yet on why. by the way, another small snowstorm expected tomorrow. it could drop another 2 to 4in, maybe. rob, is that a possibility? 2 to 4 more chain controls. winter weather. they can't get enough up there. yeah, well, it was a week ago. they were wondering where all the snow was. they had it and they lost it. and then it's back. december happened. yeah. that's right. we had the snow over the

weekend and more on the way. and a little bit of rain here tomorrow, but less with the severe weather component expected as we get into your monday forecast. with some rain right now, it's still dry. christmas in the park 51 degrees san jose. partly cloudy skies. pretty nice night. might be seeing a few patches of fog for some of the inland valleys, but visibility not too bad right now. 46 degrees. currently in walnut creek over to san rafael, a chilly 45 and over to san francisco. high clouds, no low clouds right now. visibility pretty good at ten miles. currently at 50 degrees. so our storm ranger mobile doppler radar right there atop san bruno mountain, scanning towards the north bay skies. these are the mid and high level clouds and up on the north coast here are the rain producing cloududs. n, unlike saturday, we're not going to see the area of low pressure track directly down through the bay area. in fact, this is going to kind of curl up to the pacific northwest, but we will get rain during the morning hours, especially spreading from north to south. highest totals likely to be up here in the

north bay, where we could see a quarter inch to a half inch of rain, but a lot less various san francisco southward. and right now it looks like the timing is going to be right on top of that monday morning commute by 5 a.m. across the north bay, heading towards eight and 9 a.m. across the central bay, and then around lunchtime, north bay begins to see a bit of a break, but now you're seeing the rain from san francisco southward. and then by the evening commute, a few scattered showers start to move on out. then we get those clearing skies heading into monday night, so rain at times. the most rain will have in that monday forecast will be from about sunrise to early afternoon. temperatures in the 40s there, with the rain not too cold tomorrow morning you can see the rain will be moving southward through the day. but look at the high temperatures tomorrow. probably the coolest day of the week. mostly mid to upper 50s, closer to 60 around downtown san jose. now tuesday through thursday the temperatures are going to warm up again, watching out for some patchy fog in those inland east bay valleys. once we go from wednesday to thursday, we'll see

chances of temperatures approaching the 70s around san jose down towards morgan hill, mid 60s closer to san francisco. and the reason here is high pressure strengthens so the rain chances go away at least through about friday. then as we head towards next weekend, another stormy pattern. setting up right now looks like low pressure a little bit farther north, but those rain chances will be there saturday and likely again sunday. so the 7-day forecast starts up a little rain chances and as we head towards the weekend, rain chances returning as we head towards saturday and sunday. but midweek again, it's not very december like when you see a chance of 60s and 70s around san jose. that's going to be wednesday through friday. we'll keep an eye on next weekend's weather to see, hopefully that we don't have severe weather like the way this weekend started. right now looks more like rain and breezy conditions, but stay tuned as we head towards the end of the week. oh yes, i know you will do that for us, rob. thanks. all right. coming up next. get this. amazon workers threatening to

strike ten days before christmas. what it could mean for your holiday deliveries and tips for packing your gifts to go. the tsa has some advice for a smooth pass through security checkpoints. what you need to know if you are traveling for the holidays. my name's dan and i live here in san antonio, texas. i ran my own hvac business and now i'm retired.

i'm not good being retired. i'm a pain in the neck. i like to be able to have a purpose. about three or four years ago, i felt like i was starting to slip. i saw the prevagen commercials. after a short amount of time taking prevagen, i started noticing a difference-- i stopped taking prevagen and i found myself slacking back so i jumped right back on it. i've been taking prevagen for about two years now, and i've found a huge difference. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

workers are threatening to strike. the timing couldn't be worse. obviously, if they walk off the job, it could impact your shopping and deliveries. nbc's adrian broadus has the details. you are amazon because of us? yes. he made more wages. we need better pay. tonight, with less than ten days until christmas, amazon is facing a potential strike threat during the holiday rush. workers at two key amazon facilities in new

york have voted to walk off the job, if necessary. today was the deadline the teamsters union set for amazon to start negotiating. we've been asking them, please, and as of today, we don't have nothing changed. a union spokesperson says it represents 6000 workers. luke rooney is one of them. what do you and your colleagues want for christmas? safety. better condition. better work environment. that's that's that's the one thing we've been asking for. and we don't feel like that's something we know we have to beg for. labor experts say the timing of this threat is strategic. you strike when you have more leverage from the union. you want to make sure that the customer desperately wants to get their packages. that puts more pressure on the company to go to the bargaining table. an amazon spokesperson told nbc news inart the company is a large network and, quote, christmas is not getting ruined for anyone, adding if

customers are worried, they can track delivery dates and times on the website, the company says it has hundreds of fulfillment centers in the u.s. what does that mean for folks who have ordered items from amazon? if it's already on a truck, they should be okay. but if it's at the warehouse and hasn't moved yet, then any trucks coming in will have a difficulty in unloading. a holiday headache during a stressful season. adrienne broaddus, nbc news. like that terry. i do. okay. play that. that is a tsa agent who wants your trip through airport security to be as smooth as jazz this holiday season, so they're offering tips. tsa is that is show up early. do not pack grandma's jam or that snow globe in your carry on or your saxophone. right. well, you could pack your saxophone and your carry on carefully. okay. yeah. large liquids. they must be inside your checked luggage.

a rare move by the bishop of the oakland catholic diocese. an apology on behalf of the church to abuse victims. what happened?

when we asked what he had to say publicly. thanks for joining us on this special edition of nbc bay area news. i'm gia vang and i'm terry mcsweeney. we're going to get to that story in just a moment, but we want to begin with new details on the suspect in jail accused of killing unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson. okay, so the suspect is in pennsylvania, but we're learning he could be indicted this week, paving the way for his move to new york. here's nbc's priscilla thompson. tonight, the fight to extradite luigi mangione to new york, intensifying with a source familiar telling nbc news that this week a grand jury could be asked to hand up an indictment against the man accused of murdering unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson. we expect that to be issued any day now, and it's the second that happens. i'm issuing a warrant for extradition as a completely out of touch. the possible indictment, intended to strengthen the manhattan district attorney's case for

extradition by making the charges official, as questions remain about whether mangione will go willingly or fight it. we're going to continue to press forward on parallel paths, and we'll be ready. in a pennsylvania court this week, mangione's attorney vowed to challenge extradition. but in the days since high powered new york defense attorney karen friedman, agnifilo has joined the team and declined to comment on the matter. the pennsylvania department of corrections says a team of new york attorneys visited mangione on friday. if he waives extradition, what then? he would then be transferred to new york state pretty immediately. so if he fights it, all it would do is delay the inevitable. so the only hope in a case like this for an argument to work would be if there literally was no evidence connecting him to new york state. that was priscilla thompson reporting robert f kennedy jr. is getting ready to make rounds on capitol hill this week. he's drumming up support ahead of formal hearings to put

him in charge of the nation's health agencies. president elect trump picked rfk jr to be h health secretary. kennedy expected to face questions about his views on vaccines, among other things. this comes after reports of an attorney who is helping him build his team petitioned the fda to revoke approval of the polio vaccine. kennedy's team responded to the reports, releasing a statement saying in part, quote, the polio vaccine should be available to the public and thoroughly and properly studied. a dire situation overseas tonight over what could be a massive environmental disaster. a huge oil spill after two russian tankers got hit by a strong storm in the black sea, both splitting in two. here's nbc's priya shridhar. reporter chaos in the black sea as two russian oil tankers, each carrying 4200 tons of oil, split in half during a powerful storm, the accidents triggering a massive oil spill in what greenpeace

says is a potentially serious disaster. this video, apparently taken by crew members inside the bridge of one of the tankers, appears to show their ship snapped in two, the bow sinking into the water as waves crash onto their deck. then, not too long after, this video shows another russian oil tanker just moments before it was also sliced in two. not far away from the first ship, according to russian authohorities, least one person was killed, but 13 other crew members were evacuated. part of the ship ultimately getting stuck in shallow water around 260ft away from shore. tonight, russian news agencies reporting the search continues for four people unaccounted for in the icy waters. and that crew action during bad weather conditions caused the accidents. priya sridhar, nbc news. a police

chase ends in a crash in butte county. but the story here is the driver, 11 years old, 11. happened yesterday morning near oroville. the chp responded to reports of a reckless driver on highway 99. officers tried to pull over the driver. the driver wouldn't pull over. chico police say the child's guardian called to report that the driver was their 11 year old child. officers later tracked down the driver on highway 70, followed the driver until the driver went through a flooded area, lost control, flipped the vehicle. the child was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay. investigators are trying to answer a lot of questions in that case. well, an apology from the bishop in one of the major church sex abuse scandals to rock the bay area survivors reached a rare received a rare face to face apology from the church this week. oakland's bishop addressed survivors, some of whom stepped out of the courtroom when he spoke. investigative reporter candice nguyen also tried speaking with

him, and she has tonight's report with oakland diocese attorneys. bishop michael barber arrived at bankruptcy court early friday. he is not accused of abuse, but of leading a church that protects child abusers. the diocese filed for bankruptcy last year after facing hundreds of new child sex abuse lawsuits, enabled by a new state law opening a window for past victims to sue. and i think we need to hold bishop barbers accountable. he needs to come to the table and be honest. sherry waterworth was one of the eight plaintiffs survivors who agreed to talk about their abuse at the hearing, an opportunity many of them say was taken away from them when the church filed for bankruptcy. removing the proceedings from civil court, where usually victims can speak to a jury. she and the others described being sexually abused by various east bay priests when they were as young as five years old. they talked about lifelong impacts, including drug abuse and depression. for some of them, attempting suicide, not being able to have children,

even realizing later their siblings were also abused. the vast majority of the accused priests will never serve jail time because of the statute of limitations. it meant a lot to be able to come here and talk and to have the judge listen. i know it does no good in the case, but it helps and hopefully my journey to heal. at the end of the hearing, a rare moment bishop michael barber stood and read a statement apologizing for the abuse. he said in part, i can only begin with a heartfelt apology to abuse victims in oakland and all victims. i see the pain and destruction by representatives of the church. i am truly sorry. what happened in court was a private hearing. cameras were not allowed outside. we wanted to see if bishop barber would say anything publicly. bishop barber candice went here with nbc bay area. anything you'd like to say to the speakers? the people who say they were abused. you gave a statement inside. was there anything you'd like to say to victims who couldn't make it today? he read from a piece of

paper. he didn't even turn and look at us. so i don't take it as an apology at all. he's watching out for his finances. kathryn hernandez is another survivor. she walked out of the courtroom when she learned bishop barber was going to apologize. and i really just did not want to hear anything he had to say, because it's just not just it's al it's all just words. she says she didn't come here to hear from him. she came to share her story. freedom, a little freedom and a little peace and a little not a little. a lot of weight off my shoulders and my soul. next week, the bankruptcy judge will consider a plan by the oakland diocese to come out of bankruptcy. that plan includes paying survivors more than $100 million, but with more than 400 plaintiffs, victims and their advocates tell us that amount should be much higher. candice nguyen, nbc bay area. we investigate. candice

dominating the box office this holiday season is looking forward to its new lion king prequel to premiere. mufasa will hit theaters on friday. it will face off against sonic the hedgehog three, which is another popular franchise. well, the holidays are here and businesses are hustling to get their products in front of customers. and one west marin company just got a big slice of publicity thanks to a big name celebrity. nbc bay area's joe rosato jr has their story. from the hills of west marin are often viewed as a paradise for visitors. they're also a paradise for cows. among these green hills and cows is the family dairy farm, where jill bash and her two sisters, lynne and diana, grew up. not interested in the cows, it took some intervening years of life and adventures before the sisters finally took a shine to those cows, and especially the

milk they produce, that drew us all back to the farm in the late 90s to really kind of fulfill our father's dream of making cheese. that dream led the family to launch point reyes farmstead cheese company in 2000. starting with a blue cheese they'd peddle at bay area farmers markets. we, you know, all worked the farmer's markets, you know, sometimes with babies in tow. 25 years of curds and whey later, the company has a second location in petaluma. 100 employees and a whole wide wheel of different cheeses. we bring 6000 gallons of milk four days a week to this plant, which gives us about 6,500 pounds of cheese per day. the plant is busy turning out blue cheese, toma, brie and gouda. we brine toma here. it's almost like a willy wonka land for cheese. it's

pretty impressive. the real showstopper is a trip into the aging room, which holds about 15,000 wheels. it's like the coolest thing to walk in there. and you look 21ft high and there's, you know, 15,000 wheels of toma and gouda in one room. of all its workers, employee number 101 is a robot named tina turner. she basically turns the wheels, brushed them, and puts them back on the shelf. but this holiday season, it's another celebrity doing some of the heaviest lifting here. oprah winfrey named point reyes farmstead to her prestigious holiday list of favorite things. someone like oprah. with that level of visibility, it really is a game changer for us. so this is one of our gift collections. that's right. it's got four of our cheeses the truffle brie, the quinta, our fennel blue. it's actually the second year in a row oprah added the cheese makers to her popular list, represented about 15% of

our total holiday direct to consumer sales. which begs the question is there enough cheese to cover all oprah's cheese fans? we have not run out yet. we're far from it. i mean, 25 years ago, i don't think i ever dreamed that we could be of this size and have the visibility that we do and be on oprah's favorite things list. it's a big boost for a family business, reaching out beyond northern california to the rest of the nation's cheese loving world. a little slice of cheesy paradise from the rolling hills of west marin. joe rosato jr. i kind of keep wondering, like, when can i slow down? nbc bay area news. that is an incredible looking room. and you made a good point. what would that what would that cheese with all the different types of cheese, what would it smell like? i'm curious. a lot of stuff. curious? a lot of stuff, yeah. rob mayeda joining us now talking about not so much cheese, but moreike weather. rob we got a lot of clouds right

now and we're going to eventually see rain producing clouds making a comeback right on top of your monday morning commute. the timing. and when we see 70s also

ok y'all we got ten orders coming in.. big orders! starting a business is never easy, but starting it eight months pregnant.. that's a different story. i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs. the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that.

and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card from chase for business. make more of what's yours. seeing the tree at pier 39. ice skating in union square? yes. well, another one might have just opened its doors on fisherman's wharf. nbc bay area's garvin thomas explains in tonight's bay area. proud. this is the royal icing. the recipes jon lovitz uses to make his gingerbread and icing are pretty simple. just a handful of ingredients egg whites, powdered sugar, cream of tartar. now, what jon creates with them. well, that is simply amazing. it makes you feel so wonderful that you were able to create an art medium that make people that happy. reporter. the road to creating gingerbread lane, a free exhibit in an old mcdonald's on fisherman's wharf was a long one, literally. jon

created the more than 600 pieces in his kitchen in new york city, then drove them across the country, which included a blizzard in wyoming. and it's snowing so hard you can barely see. and i'm just like, i'm just a guy that makes gingerbread houses. i want to go home. but the whole journey, jon says, goes back even further. it starts, he says, as a kansas city kid for whom the holidays were a respite from reality. i was obsessed with the holidays, dysfunctional family and the holidays was the time of the year everybody acted functional. jon was also obsessed, it turns out, with san francisco. ever since visiting with his family as a little kid. i bought all these postcards of the golden gate bridge and alcatraz. yeah, i just just friggin fell in love with this city like you wouldn't believe. both of those loves stayed with jon as he embarked on his career as an executive chef, eventually running the kitchens at some of the country's premier hotels, the hay-adams in washington, the plaza and algonquin in new york.

all the while on the side, jon began creating gingerbread house displays small at first, but bigger and bigger every year. it eventually got to be too much to be both a chef and a gingerbread artist. it's like, okay, you know what? i don't need this. i need to pick one or the other. can i make a living off the other one? can i make a living off the fun one? we're like, nine years later and i still don't completely have an answer, but it feels like. yes. a lot of san francisco on it just this year. jon has four displays set up like this around the country. this one, of course, with a decidedly san francisco feel. it is a holiday display requiring year round effort, a ton of work that pays off. jon says the moment he sees someone enjoying his creation. and i created that, and that's what i really like. and when the exhibits open for the year, and for the first time, i get to see people. and in them, jon sees himself, a little kid, saved from all the sour things in the world by something sweet. garvin thomas

reporting. if you know of someone doing something extraordinary in your community, we want to hear about it. garvin wants to hear about it, said garvin, an email. you can reach him at bay area proud at nbcbayarea.com. you can also tag us on facebook, instagram and twitter or aka x. all right, let's take a look outside. this is downtown san jose. guess what? christmas in the park lit up last night. we were waiting for the lights. you know, it's doesn't light up, right? this is just ten days until christmas. and rob is here because. rob, last night we were wondering, oh my gosh, is this tree going to fall over with all the winds? it's well anchored. very good. yeah, we really did find out where all the weak trees around the bay area with the strongest two fell in brentwood. yeah. you got video of that? yeah, we had wind speeds, very strong. severe thunderstorms to start the weekend, but a calmer finish here on this sunday night. but we do have more rain to deal with tomorrow before drier and warmer temperatures head our way towards the middle part of the

week right now. speaking of san jose, 51 degrees, some high clouds overhead. no rain just yet around the santa clara valley down to 46 in walnut creek. shouldn't see too much dense fog for tomorrow morning because the rain chances will be coming back just ahead of sunrise. 45 right now in san rafael, and a pretty view of san francisco, currently at about 50 degrees. so the rain will come back, especially for the morning clear. it will be a stretch from about tuesday through thursday, where places like san jose could be close to 70 degrees. then as we head towards next weekend, we'll be talking about another chance of seeing some rain. so here's where the patchy, dense fog is right now east of tracy might see some of that creeping into solano county for the morning, but the bigger headline here for the morning is a rainy start to that monday morning commute. temperatures starting off the day in the 40s and it should be a cool afternoon. mostly cloudy skies rain off and on at times, heading southward by about 3:00 in the afternoon. but look at those temperatures

mid to upper 50s from san francisco to oakland and close to 60 in san jose. right now. stormranger not seeing much from its vantage point there and san bruno mountain. but as you move up to the north coast, that's where the rain is right now. and unlike our saturday storm, we're not going to see a big area of low pressure move right over the bay area that will likely stay to the north, but this frontal boundary will pass through starting just before sunrise around the north bay. we may see some localized ponding on the roads with those rain rates from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. the rain marches southward to san francisco and oakland by mid-morning and then by lunchtime, most of those rain chances will be south of san francisco, then back into some clearing conditions. once we move forward into monday night and tuesday, top rain totals likely to be north of san francisco. third of an inch of rain, or maybe locally higher on some of the mountain areas here on the coastal range of the north bay. but look at san jose southward a lot less for areas south of san francisco. now, here is the drier part of the forecast that will take us

likely through friday. and then the storms seem to like weekends. look what happens saturday. we got the rain coming back in, though the focus of the more substantial rain totals likely into the north bay. so stay tuned on that as we head towards next weekend as we fine tune those details to see how much rain we could be looking at for next weekend. but in the meantime, some rain to start off the workweek here, as you see rain at times for monday. then the skies clear wednesday and thursday around san jose could be close to 70 degrees here, as we're within a week's time of getting towards christmas the following week. so we got a mild stretch of weather, a little more rain to contend with as we head towards next weekend. those lows kind of stay somewhat consistent all in the 40s. that's good. i mean, if you like consistency and it's the highs that are kind of unusual in december. rob thanks. well up next, an update on people's mid-game walk off. remember that. new reports tonight that the 49ers could suspend campbell rather than release him. how the move could actually save the team some money. that is coming

first half against the dallas mavericks. check this out. the dubs at home tonight. drilling 18 three pointers in the first two quarters. 18 to franchise record for made triples in one half. unfortunately for the warriors, dallas was pretty hot, too, draining 12 of 20 53. attempts en route to an 81 to 74 score at halftime. 81 7430 combined three pointers between golden state and the mavericks, tied for the most by any two teams in a half in nba history. but the game went on didn't end the way some warriors fans would have wanted it. final score 143, 133. dallas wins and a shark sighting at chase center tonight. rookie center macklin celebrini in the crowd at tonight's game. macklin was named nhl rookie of the month

for november. there's some brightness in the sharks future. yes, absolutely. all right. 49ers not letting go of linebacker de'vondre campbell yet. campbell walked off the 49ers sideline in the third quarter of their game against the l.a. rams on thursday night football. the niners lost that game 12 to 6. san francisco is now expected to suspend campbell for refusing to play. that's according to reports from nfl media's ian rapoport. it's believed the team will suspend campbell rather than release him, in order to redeem some of his signing bonus and prevent him from signing with another team. but no official decision has been announced. and it was a long road to recovery for 49ers star linebacker dre greenlaw to make his highly anticipated season debut thursday. parts of that lengthy journey captured by greenlaw fiance shared on instagram this weekend. take a look at it, the post reads in part, a glimpse into our past 305 days. you poured your heart and soul into becoming yourself again quietly, never expecting any praise in return. greenlaw

suffered an achilles injury in san francisco's super bowl loss to the kansas city chiefs ten months ago, and greenlaw was the one who was in the game that campbell wanted to go in and goes like that. thanks for joining us. we'll be back
