. good morning and thanks for

spending your weekend with kron 4 weekend. if you're getting an early start you will be dealing with some rain for really much of the bay area. let's zoom in here. as we put into motion that the orientation is a little different. it has some rotation. showers pushing up from the south. now yesterday we saw rainfall from north to south so it was a little different this morning. rain right now for much of san francisco, the entire city actually under the yellow and orange indicating rainfall at a rate of over a quarter of an inch per hour. it's lightning up a bit in the north bay, novado, near american canyon, but heavier rain is on the way. heavier rain in the oakland area towards berkeley effecting you along interstate 80. we have been dealing with moderate to heavy rain for the entire coastline. stretching from pescodero up towards pacifica. we have seen some rain develop in the south bay, sunnyvale,

coopertino, a heavier development in the next few minutes. we're attracting some snow in the sierras. if you're headed in that direction you will need your chains for interstate 80 and highway 50. we have a winter weather advisory until 7:00 tonight, slick roads, reduced visibility. 2 to 7-inches of snow with this system at about 6,000 feet, and closer to 7,000 feet into wednesday. we are talking about up to two feet of snow. so maybe next weekend is the best weekend to head up to tahoe. futurecast 4 shows back here in the bay area, light rain into the 9:00-hour and beyond that it's going to start to taper off, so it's not going to be as heavy, it's not going to be as organized. in fact, i think we'll see a few breaks the afternoon. we're not done yet. a weak ridge of high pressure will build in into monday and that's going to keep mostly dry conditions. we'll see a few sprinkles north of the golden gate bridge. tuesday into wednesday, a stronger system bringing showers. wouldn't be surprised if we

encounter some thunderstorms. we have increased the likelihood for a stray shower into thursday, but mostly dry conditions into next weekend. any. officer darren wilson from the ferguson shooting resigns but a lot of confusion and questions remain over the grand jury's decision to not indict wilson in the shooting of michael brown. joining us is our particular analyst michael yaki and to break down the developments that have happened. let's start with the grand jury. the public is confused about its role, it process and what it's doing. >> get into a lot of debates that talk about, the physical evidence said this or that, but that's really not what they're trying to do. what the grand jury does historically is it decides whether or not there is enough evidence to back up a prosecutor's decision to indict. the prosecutor has to decide these are the charges i want, and the everyday in order to do

that. bob mccullouch decided he was simply going to dump every single piece of evidence that there was to the grand jury, give them general instructions on what the charges could be in this case and let them make up their own mind. what's happened is -- he goes on this rant about the media, saying that media made witnesses lie and witnesses were lying to other people. >> and that's what people have been saying he seems bias. >> right. and then he goes in his press conference and selectively picks out pieces of evidence that he thinks is sustained what the grand jury decided to do. but then he decided i'm going to be smart, i'm going to release the transcripts for everyone to take a look at. that was a mistake because when people started looking at the grand jury transcripts they gone

to see a very, very different picture where prosecutors were essentially questioning only witnesses that appear to be on one side and not questioning witnesses on another. and to the most controversial thing of all was allowing darren wilson to speak pretty much interrupted for two hours. if there's one thing, they do not hear exculpatory testimony. you know they're going to say i didn't do it; this is a given. i think they to do it so they selectively present witnesses. this didn't happen here. instead, you just had every single witness under the sun, no prior tiization. they asked one eyewitness, do you see good? >> what does that mean?

does it mean you do or don't need glasses? when they saw brown allegedly charge wilson. it raises more questions than it doesn't. essentially, they'll weed out the best evidence available for a jury to make a decision. that didn't happen here. it was sort of -- either throw it all up in the air, see what sticks and see what the grand jury decided to do. >> don't think they got the sole picture. >> an active picture involves cross examination, expert witnesses coming in. >> people talk about there was blood evidence inside the car. and i'm sure there are 5,000 experts who say if you get shot you may get blood spatter inside. those are the kinds of things you would get in a trial that you did not get the benefit of

through this very, very loose -- and that's a very kind way to put it -- grand jury process. >> so do you think the chances of officer wilson facing any sort of charges is completely over? >> i think that -- i think that there's one chance left for a criminal indictment. that would come from the federal government and they would especially have to make a decision that moment that michael brown -- they would have to say there's evidence that michael brown put his hands up, was more than 50, 60 feet away and officer wilson decided to take his life, deprive him of his civil rights. maybe eric holder, attorney general, who is very attached to this case as his last acting in office. i doubt it though. all they have is a wrongful death suit they can bring based on a much looser and lower

evidentiary standard. >> one last question. the officer wilson resigning, what does that mean for the community and for the officer himself? >> i think that community saw that as inevitable. i think officer wilson saw that as inevitable. but the structure problems of ferguson still remain, the problems of race in st. louis county still remain and that's going to be a much longer battle. >> okay. our political analyst, michael yaki thank you for joining us. we're back with more after the break. welcome back. big news from beverley hills. celebrity plastic surgeon dr. andrew orton discovered an antiaging breakthrough and he's giving away 1 million bottles free.

. good morning and welcome back to the kron 4 morning news. the time is 9:14. light to moderate rain blanketing the area right now. it looks like highway 101 from santa rosa down towards san raphael is dry for the most part and a lot of the heavy rain that we were dealing with in san francisco has continued to push

east. so right now it looks like livermore, hayward, castro valley getting the brunt of it. we did experience some heavy rain along the coastline. that's still the case with rainfall falling at a rate of about a half inch an hour. potentially hazardous driving conditions along highway 1 from palo, alto, and coopertino. we'll see the rain begin to taper off into the afternoon. i think we'll see some sun breaks. so not only are we seeing rain up in the bay area, but also some snow in the sierra nevada if you're headed in that direction. you will need your chains. we have a winter weather advisory in effect until about 7:00 tonight. so slick roads reduced visibility, 2 to 7-inches of snow possible above 6,000 feet. futurecast 4 shows back here in the bay area, light rain blinketing the bay area and it looks like into the afternoon it's going to taper off.

hit or miss, spotty showers, pretty light in nature and it looks like by 7:00, just a few sprinkles north of the golden gate bridge. we've seen some impressive totals in the past 24 hours. larks spur already saw an inch. a quarter inch for the east peninsula and the shoreline. when this is all said and done we could see one to three inches and five inches if not more. your seven around the bay forecast shows wet weather sticks around until the middle of the week. high pressure rebuilds and we'll see dryer conditions into next weekend. annie. thanks, erica. the area has been responding to the indictment of officer darren wilson. here's a look at protests we've been following in oakland and san francisco. joining us is our political analyst michael yaki and the bay

area authority reaction to control some of these protests. >> in fairness -- i was here during the rodney king riots in '92. there were thousands upon thousands of people coming from all different areas and the police had a very difficult time controlling what was going on. this one's a lot different but it points out a lot of what happens here is going to depend on how authorities deal with what's going on in ferguson. people are taking their queues and things are returning more peaceful and they're going to more prayer vigils. there's mass today in ferguson. there's march to the governor's mansion. these are going to be very important. i also think it's important for people in the bay area, leadership in the bay area, mayor jean quan, libby shaft, to take a look and work with people

in a way that maybe hasn't been quite as done as it was in 92. in 92, we worked with people -- cecil williams in the clerky to talk about how difficult this was and give people a voice and place to go that hasn't quite happened here yet. i think the more that city leadership tries to work with them and create the atmosphere, the better off it will be. quite frankly a lot of people are hoping that eric holder or even the president would go to ferguson and -- sometime during the holiday season and put everything to rest and bring some kind of calm to the area. right now, ferguson is still pretty hot. >> it is. and it seems like it's definitely struck a cord with the bay area community, as well. >> it's interesting that i sit

back and sort of watch how all this happens as a former elected official you see how individuals and groups change. the one tactic has been blocking major roadways. that's new. that hasn't happened. people are blocking 580, the bay bridge, 101 in southern california. people got creative in the way they wanted to show their dissatisfies. we have to do more as officials to reach out to people and say -- especially in california where we seem to be more sympathetic to say this is what we care about. this is how to do it constructively and whatever you do, don't get involved in the vandalism and damage because for a lot of points you're really hurting people who can't afford it the most, small business people, stopping people who work on an hourly basis from getting to their jobs where every hour they work means getting food on

the table. these are all points that have to be communicated to people. let's change gears and talk about immigration reform. republicans are talking about ways to separate funding and this could maybe lead to a shut down? >> you heard very quickly after the election that mcconnell and john boehner were saying we're not going to shut down the government. l guess what. right now, there is a funding plan being floated in the house of representatives that would fund every part of the government expect for the immigration service for the remainder of the year and it would only fund it for a short period of time until new congress gets in. nancy peloci has already said she won't have any part of it. if they come up with a two-part funding bill which will put it squarely in the new congress, there's very good chance the president will veto it and very

good chance the senate democrats won't go for it, as well. the so the idea of a shut down december 11th from 0 right after the election to i think it's starting to trend upwards and you'll see more and more during this week as congress comes back into session. >> how quickly things can change. and what sort of impact would that have in california? >> it had a big impact especially in the defense industry, a lot of contractors in aerospace are here in california and the space industry, space x others who rely on. it funds gets stopped automatically. it does have a big impact in california and at the military bases, as well. of the but we'll see. right now, you know, it's just floating. they're putting their idea out there, but watch what happens this week. >> okay. all right. michael yaki, thank you for joining us. we're back with more after the break.

.

welcome back. if thanksgiving and black friday weren't enough, retailers will continue to dish out deals tomorrow on cyber monday. karen kasa has tips for safe, happy ask secure online shopping. >> thanks to an internet that's always open for business, cyber monday is easier on shoppers than black friday but that doesn't mean it's a breeze. >> there is so much noise around cyber monday and of course we're sitting at home but we have access to millions of web sites. mine advice would be find a couple trusted resources. >> retail me not.com says research sales first, and look for coupon codes, and look in the twitter and facebook feeds. some of the best areas to snag cyber monday deals. >> lots of apparel providers and consumer electronics and health and beauty. those are the three categories that i think will see the deepest discounts on cyber monday. >> more than 131 million online

shoppers were expected last cyber monday, a big day for retailers and consumers and for scammers, too. >> they know it's cyber monday. they know that people are out there shopping, and they're going to do what they can to try and lure you in. >> recent breaches have put data security in the spotlight for retailers. michael kaiser of the national cyber security alliance said consumers must make precautions. >> they take common sense measures, they put in things like verification, multifactor authentication. shoppers on mobile devices should consider using cellular data instead of public wifi for a more secure internet connection. in washington, i'm karen kafa. in the bay area, police in palo alto is offering tips from packages being stolen. but first, if your employer allows, have your packages delivered to the office. if that doesn't work, have your packages received to a place they have been ship in person like the

like oakland, berkeley, parts of san francisco. now storm tracker 4 shows the orientation of the system and not only are we dealing with rain but we're also seeing lightning strikes along the coast. now the heaviest rain right now south of the mid-peninsula. we saw some heavy rain in san francisco, now just dealing with some light rain for your ride through the city across the bay bridge and along the east bay shoreline. take a look at half moon bay, pescadero. that has moved into the south bay, seeing light to moderate rain for coopertino, sunnyvale, san jose. it looks like we're dealing with the brunt of this right now. we'll head into the early afternoon. we are anticipating anywhere between a half inch to an inch. few showers possible tomorrow north of the golden gate bridge. a weak ridge of high pressure will build in and that'll leave us with mostly dry conditions. by tuesday, we are airporting yet another storm bringing lots of rain and -- we are

anticipating yet another storm, bringing lots of rain. we'll have more on the extended forecast in 15 minutes. >> and check out these weather videos you've shown us this morning. we love the photos of the weather where you're at. we want to see your weather photos or getting ready for the rain. send them at breaking news at kron 4.com or send us a message on facebook. heavy rain is expected to continue throughout the bay area this week, and that has some residents doing what they can to protect their homes and businesses from storm damage, and also possible flooding. so this means sandbags and lots of them. this is one of five sandbag stations throughout contra costa county. the sheriff's office says the sandbags are free; you just have to bring your own shove and he will transportation. the station is located in hal homestead park on walnut boulevard. neighbors say people have been stopping by to take advantage of the free sand, and one man says sandbags are one of the most
