that does come will start to pick up in intensity and then we get to saturday morning and you see how that looks different right here. you see the structure to that? there's that hose pointed out into the pacific right there. that is the atmospheric river. that's what they look like when you visualize them in the forecast model. this is why saturday is going to be the prime time for the flood concerns for that flood watch that has been issued so a lot to go over and i will see you with the complete forecast in a minute. >> two words. storm shelters. santa clara county using them and urging others to use them if you are stuck in the cold. when there's rain there's worried that too much could bring flooding and mudslides. >> my house is near a creek that rises above my house level so they tried to enforce it every year but usually we do get flooding. this year i am

more concerned. >> we cut some tree branches. that's pretty much what we have done. some sandbags. make sure the garage doesn't get loaded. she meant to help prevent flooding let's listen to our firefighter friend to tell us to clear these drains, keep them free of leaves and debris and other stuff. an ice rink in beautiful san francisco tonight. our lauren toms met one family of mice not letting the storm out there plans. >> reporter: rain is already starting to impact holiday activities but that's not stopping one family from giving their daughter a birth she won't soon forget. these are likely the final unions where i skaters of the year as rain begins to pour on the bay area. >> we were hoping it would hold out but it looks like it's starting to pour. >> reporter: brandy said she's happy to bear the rain to celebrate her daughters 16th birthday. >> she wanted to go ice

welcome back. police an open want to know who killed a two-year-old boy. body dumped two days before christmas and police say this case involving little jamari matkins spans two counties. a tip led his body which was found outdoors somewhere in napa county on december 23rd. officers

arrested a suspect in they do say he has close ties with the child and the child's family. >> an individual connected to the child's death was identified and arrested with the insistence of san pablo police department. the circumstances associated with the child's death are still under investigation. >> no word yet on how this child, jamari matkins died. the suspect is locked up on unrelated charges while the d.a. reviews the case here it today police also announced the oakland city 120th homicide of the year. this one happened when somebody shot and killed a man this morning on 10th and international trade as a community response to the violence you will see it on new year's eve. an oakland church will hold a memorial service to honor the lives lost to homicide in the year. in the last 13 years this church has placed crosses with the name of each homicide victim in the front of the garden of the church and on new year's eve at 3:00 the church will hold a memorial service to remember those who have been lost to

violence and they will move remove each cross one by one. live look at sfo. chances are you know someone who is stranded at one of our nations airports. you also know that there are a lot of fingers pointed at out west airlines. the company swears they will be back tomorrow with operations normal after days of math cancellations leaving thousands stranded. let's talk about today. almost 60% of the airline's fleet was once again grounded nationwide which includes 145 flights out of san jose or 70% of southwest flights. 117 cancellations in oakland alone and 35 in san francisco. that doesn't even cover the issue of lost baggage. there are hundreds of suitcases and bags and car seats sitting unclaimed in airports across the country. sacramento airport seeing them piling up as well and that's where one reporter actually found a missing bag for a

family and here's what happened. she faced times with a man whose looking for his son's bag. the son lived in orange county and didn't make the trip to sacramento but his bag went on a vacation without him. >> -- the assumption he would get there to meet us. even though they canceled his return flight as well. >> the airline told brad on monday to get the suitcase back but seeing where it was today he's not optimistic. first alert weather now. that atmosphere river could put a big hitch in the dungeness crab season. it's only been delayed for weeks it seems like we tell you all the time periodically just wait, but yesterday kravis were finally able to put out crab pots ahead of the season opening saturday. there is a

problem. a lot of fissures don't know when they can deliver the crab in time for new year's eve celebrations. it's all because of the high winds and rough surf expected on the ocean because all of this weather. a lot of seafood buyers are also closed for the holiday. here's the bottom line. the earliest that you could expect fresh dungeness crab is early next week. and darren, i have to show you something. is so cool. this guy is literally surfing the streets, flooded streets earlier this week. we don't recommend this. if my kids are up late, don't do this. this area got severe flooding and so people took advantage and this surfer got his surf board and put it on the back of an suv and dragged him right along through the street. once again i plead to my kids don't do this. >> and we will have a lot more rain coming up. that is the morning is the focus but before we get there tonight and friday. we've got rain pretty widespread and steady. tomorrow we get breaks what it will be more of a focus for the north

bay but everybody will get rain again tomorrow. there will be more opportunities when you get into the brakes but when the showers do come through they will be heavier because we are getting a little closer to the center and is more energy for it to work with. still saturday morning when the most impressive part of the whole thing happens and you can see it come together as we get into saturday right there. that is 230 in the morning and that probably looks the most impressive. there's a first alert day on saturday and there's also a flood watch that the national weather service has issued from friday evening all the way through saturday. this is the reason why. if we take this back to the beginning for the strongest plume will come over the bay area freely around midnight but then it comes together beautifully over the heart of the bay. that gets us ahead 25 in the morning go over the peninsula and it works its way

down to the south bay and it will clear by late morning and that's when we will finally start to kind of bring things to a close. we're not done with this entirely until we get to sunset on saturday. you don't get rained on for new year's eve and i know a lot of people were wondering about that so let's get that out of the way. new year's day will be great but the issue is all the rain is coming between now and then. those are the totals of the time you're done with friday and when you add in saturday you see why that's different. those numbers went up a lot for that saturday system. if there is a flood watch i know a lot people have the history here in the bay area and it's usually the rushing river that makes headlines particularly as it goes through glenville and if you look at the forecasts everything from this line on shows you what the forecast is for the river. you can see the dates down there. even though

there is a lot of rain coming and a flood watch we will have to be mindful when it comes to the smaller tributary streams and creeks and for some street flooding as well but the major river that gives us usually the most dramatic pictures of the flooding in the bay area is not at risk from this one. and the snow is going to disappear all day tomorrow it will be reined in the sierra. snow level will be above 9000 feet and then the snow will return late on saturday afternoon and watch the snow level come back down the mountain and by that point just look at that tail end of the storm will make up for lost time and the sierra will come away with a paps perhaps a foot or more. we see our first alert day on saturday. sunday, happy new year, new year's day you can have your outdoor plans without concern of rain and then know there's more rain coming next week and we will focus on those storms once we get through saturday. >> straight ahead in sports the best thing i saw today, this man , 49ers faithful. we
