kron4 news weekend starts now. rain headed our way to the bay area. live at stormtracker four radar. rain way up to the north but it is moving down, if you're waking up in the bay area, get out there, run around a little bit, a little bit gusty but we know that the rain is coming down sometime this afternoon, if not a little bit later than that. three cameras that quickly show you the golden gate bridge. cloud cover, the san mateo bridge, the bay bridge as well. sun peeking out but that probably won't be lasting too much long. >> at sfo we have a couple of rays of sun too.

rain for our future on sunday, today, and into monday, so it's like kind of almost a mini- series here. >> today and tomorrow. >> yes. wine country has showers right now. a stronger batch that will develop later on, that will cover much more of the breadth of the entire east bay. there's the progress you can see there, east of novato and heading toward the east. this is what we were talking about, the line of the front, it's not particularly real windy with all of this, we don't expect it to be that windy throughout the day today. however, once this all moves through then it's actually going to taper off later on this afternoon and into tonight before the second shoe falls. temperatures don't stand out that much except for the north bay. richmond, 66. 40s around the bay shoreline and also to the east bay, far east bay in the lower 40s as well. the breakdown for you in san

jose, 60 in soupian. there's a storm cloud for you right there. right now 48 at the bay going on, 50, 43 inland valleys, 57 for those inland valleys by noon and 5:00 p.m. still only 58. put this all together for you coming up in a bit and let you know about the rain tomorrow morning. >> thank you so much, dave. major breaking news questioner following in the south -- we are following in the south bay. fire burning in an apartment complex in san jose. take a look at these pictures into the kron4 newsroom in the past 40 minutes. you can see how destructive that fire is. it broke out at around 3:30 this morning. just got off the phone with the san jose fire department. the fire not completely under control. we don't know how many people were hurt or how many were affected by the fire.

avery harper is going to the scene and give us a live report as soon as she gets it. what is this? >> oh, my gosh. >> did you see it? there's a lot of buzz about a strange light in the sky over the west coast last night. we final have some answers. take a look at this video. people all across california reported seeing the light from l.a. to the bay area. this morning we know the mysterious light was actually a missile and that the military was doing some kind of test launch. this got a lot of people really excited. say saw it all over facebook last night. here's another look at that video. that's a strange site. it's just zooming across the sky, a blue streak, kron4's scott rates shows us where that missile came from. >> reporter: this thing had so many people wondering what exactly they were looking at, all of the series came out, everything from was it a meteor to something out of this world. we are starting to get some

answers now. this is what it looked like. we had so many pictures of flooding into the newsroom, e- mails, phone calls, the phone lines were lighting up from people all over california seeing this thing, and as far inland as nevada. from the pictures you can see something that looks like a white spotlight kind of piercing through the clouds there and it is up, we are told, for about a minute. i saw it personally out in antioch because i was driving down highway four. i only saw it for about five seconds. i caught the tail end of it. it was there for about 50 to 55 seconds, just after 6:30 saturday evening. now, as you can imagine, there has been quite a buzz all over the bay area about this thing, all over california really about this thing, i spoke to one woman who saw it as she was driving down in san jose. >> it kind of streaked, bright, still going across the sky and then when i looked over it started to get bigger in the streak and i thought, i thought

this is a comet or media or something -- meteor or something because it doesn't look like an aircraft. >> reporter: the u.s. navy says they did launch a test missile, they say it was a test missile that was launched after 6:30. the u.s. coast guard says that missile was launched from point mugu in southern california. there is no knowledge of any knowledge prior to that thing going up so pretty cool pictures out there and a lot of talk. reporting on the peninsula, scott rates, kron4 news. >> we got so many pictures from viewers of the sky, the light in the sky, you can see it, we will show it to you. they kept sending it us. we are pre appreciative of that. we always want to see your pictures especially during breaking news. download the kron4 newspaper app and we will thank you. it on our futurecast.

it is the veterans day in san francisco. this is video from past parades. this year the celebration would be held near fisherman's wharf, that alone could draw a bigger crowd but it also means if you're coming into the city, there are some closures you need to know about before it kicks avenue at 11:00 this morning near the embarcadero and northpointe. here is what else you need to know if you are driving the embarcadero will be closed north of northpointe. jefferson street to aquatic park will also be closed. the f market will only operate between castro and the ferry terminal but shuttle buses to fisherman's wharf. i suggest take public transportation. doctors are telling you to get your flu shot now. two flu-related deaths already been reported in california. an occult in -- an adult in santa clara county and an infant in stanislaus county. doctors are giving vaccinations to keep those numbers from growing. we don't know how severe this

flu season will be. that will take time to play out but they are telling you go out there and get your flu shots as soon as you possibly can. coming up, decision 2016. we have reaction to donald trump's appearance on "saturday night live." then why some are not convinced the bomb brought down a russian airliner. how much more you might have to pay for girls scout cookies this year. a warning for people looking to buy warriors tickets this year. the executives say the number of fans turned away at the door

because they have counterfeit tickets is up 45% compared to last year. last season more than 16,000 people found out the hard and expensive way that they bought fake tickets. the team wants fans to use its website, warriors.com, to buy the tickets but there are other ways, safe ways to buy tickets, for example, stub hub guarantees its tickets are real and you will get your money back if they happen to be counterfeit. speaking of money, parking -- paying to park at b.a.r.t. stations is about to get more expensive starting december 7th, parking at the millbrae concord, north concord, martinez and coliseum stations will go up 50 cents. that means it will cost $3 to park at the millbrae station, it will cost $2 at the concord and north concord martinez stations and parking at the coliseum station will be $1.50. b.a.r.t. says the fees will be used to improve the station. you might have to pay a

little bit more for girl scout cookies this year. the price been raised to $5 per box. that's up from $4 last year. some girl scout troops in california have already been charging $5 a box. the new increase brings the entire state up to $5 mark. the price jump is because of rising costs, says the girl scouts. still a small price to pay for delicious cookies. here's a live look outside at the bay bridge toll plaza, plenty of cloud cover, rain headed our way. it's up to the north but it's coming down to the bay area. dave is tracking the weather and let you know how much rain we will see and when it will come over our head. for the weekend, it's the 20th annual via de la mares festival. it's free to attend.

rain is up in the north. look at that, dave spar. this is from kirkwood. a lot of snow there. you were infatuated with one of the workers yesterday.

no workers at this time. >> i guess i thought he looked like he was dressed for the tundra. >> when i see snow, i would think cold. i would think it wrong for somebody to walk out in shorts but you and i are impressed with different things. >> i just was noting that. snow maker there. you said that was -- >> hopefully it's real snow. >> they are going to get real snow. this is just the beginning, just the cocktail hour now. big stuff happening tomorrow and that's the cold air aloft going to bring the snow levels down. we can see the snow levels drop below 5000 feet with all of this. that's a little bit of a better effort than we had last go around. here's what it looks on stormtracker four in the north bay, not overly impressive we have right now, sure. we are actually going to have a boom of moisture moving through along the front later on and that's going to cover a good portion of the general bay area, that's downtown san francisco off to the east bay and down to the south bay, the

models will show you all that. we can see this in just a bit. right now on the satellite and radar, this is what we are talking about, somewhat modest here making its way through wine country, sure, but this plume of moisture added to the cold air, that's exactly what we need, so that's what's going to drive everything in terms of the heavier precipitation happening comparatively speaking for today. a look at our numbers right now, a lot of 40s on the board, particularly around the bay shoreline, oakland at 50, richmond at 56, napa 45. remember the cloud cover and shower activity right now is in that general region and to the south and east where it hasn't made its progress yet. the far east bay, pleasanton at 41, livermore at 42. forward to this period, coming in from the west. look at that, that's a plume of moisture i'm getting. concord down to redwood city covering a lot of the peninsula and of course the south bay is next on the line. this puts us at about noon so it will be a bit of an afternoon affair too, particularly to points south

and east. the north bay actually starts to clear up in the afternoon hours and then at that point for most people after that first wave moves through, it's going to be the spotty, light drizzle type of showers left over, somewhat variable clouds almost until the next shoe comes in right here, you see, this takes us to about 4:00 a.m., bull's-eye in the city before going across the bay itself and we see a lot more upstream happening to about 10:00 a.m. or so. by the afternoon starts to taper off again. what we have with this second batch, this colder air upstairs, the drive, the instability. futurecast 4, in terms of the temperatures, remember where the rain is coming from, starting to clear the north bay by 3:00 this afternoon. maybe some daytime heating lets the temperatures bounce a bit. by 9:00 p.m., it's going to be a chilly night for everybody involved. get a closer inspection of highs today along the east bay shoreline, near about 60 or so, insulated and buffered because of the marine effect on the

general bay. meanwhile you go further to the east, you don't get that help, so little cooler, upper 50s at work here, antioch at 60. 55 going on for pittsburgh but the seven-day forecast again pencil in for monday, as kind of an active morning at least and look how cold, 54 for those inland regions, 54 also at the coast and we gradually warm up for the week ahead. now, tuesday in theory should be kind of a mostly sunny day but because of the surface moisture and the cold air aloft, we may create clouds again from the leftover moisture and then gradually warming up rest of the week. saying that they are sending criminals is wrong. >> a large crowd gathered outside of nbc studios in new york city saturday night to protest donald trump. the republican presidential front runner hosted "saturday night live" last night. the crowd was protesting trump's comments on immigration. back in august he said many of the mexican immigrants crossing the border were criminals and

rapists. more than 100 protesters showed up outside the studio before the show began. and with the next republican presidential debate just two days away, dr. ben carson has seen his numbers actually rise in the polls. in some cases he's even passed trump as the front runner but now some controversial comments from his past are starting to raise some eyebrows. cnn's tom foreman takes a look at some of those comments. >> i'm ben carson and i'm a candidate for president. >> reporter: from his first steps on the campaign trail, carson has fearlessly admitted -- >> there are a lot of policies that i lack knowledge of, you know, it's a false narrative that you have to know everything. >> reporter: but some of his past statements about what he does know are startling on healthcare reform -- >> obamacare is really, i think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. >> reporter: on religion.

>> i would not advocate that we put a muslim in charge of this nation. >> reporter: on how people should respond to a rampaging gunman. >> i would not just stand there and let him shoot me. i would say, hey, guys, everybody attack him. he may shoot me but he can't get us all. >> reporter: even on the holocaust. >> i think the likelihood of hitly being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed. >> reporter: some of his statements are rooted in his faith and fly in the face of science, missing the big bang therapy as pure fantasy, speculating about an alternative use for the great pyramids long considered burial chambers. >> my own personal theory is that joseph built the pyramid in order to store grain. >> but others are much more explosive like his comment about homosexuality and incarceration. >> a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight and when they come out they are gay. so did something happen while they were in there?

>> reporter: carson backed off from that within hours and apologizing saying i do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. >> that was tom foreman reporting for us this morning. the next republican presidential debate set for tuesday night. in a few short months super bowl 50 will be here. san francisco hosts the sporting event of the year at levi's stadium in santa clara. more than 1400 volunteers travel from all over the bay area for their orientation. the event yesterday was held at the may sonic theater -- masonic theater. >> great showcase for our city. we love watching the super bowl. wish we were a part of it. >> something we can say we have done and experienced so it's going to be awesome. >> the volunteers got to see their uniforms and backpacks unveiled. they also learned about the new app they need to log in and sign up for their shift. the super bowl host committee estimates about 7500 volunteers

will sign up during game week each volunteer is required to do a minimum of three shifts when the super bowl 50 arrives in the bay area. coming up on the kron4 morning news, the warriors on a roll straying to stay undefeated against the kings. the highlights after the break. here's a live look outside of the richmond bridge, clear, chilly start this morning, clear in the skies -- excuse me, not clear in the skies, clear on the roadways but chilly start. dave is tracking the weather forecast and how much rain and when it will arrive. much more on that in a few minutes. if you're looking for something to do this weekend, it's the urban epic festival at fort mason, 200 plus crafts, design food and beverage makers happening at fort mason center from 11:30 this morning until 6:30 tonight and attendance to go there will be free for everybody.

how about sports for you this sunday morning? the hottest ticket in town, the warriors are on fire and have no plans of slowing down. they travel to sacramento taking on their rivals the kings last night. a sweet moment before the game. this is brotherly love. look at that, steph kerry giving his little brother a hug. kerry going through the lanes scoring two of his 20 points. he's so hot these days, 24 points seems like he was kept in check. 21 of those came in the second half. the kings, they did not make it easy. they made a little comeback in the fourth quarter but the

warriors held on. here is kerry with a final three, nail in the coffin with 40 seconds left, the warriors improved 7-0. they don't have to travel very far. they drive back south to the bay area where they play the pistons tomorrow at 7:30 at oracle arena. happening today, football, football, football, it could be the start of the blaine gabbert era in san francisco. the 49ers take on the atlanta falcons at levi's stadium. the niners announced earlier this week they were benching colin kaepernick. much earlier game because they are in the east coast, the raiders travel to pittsburgh to take on the steelers. silver and black hoping to extend their winning streak to three games. the steelers without their star running back, lefon bell who tore his mcl last week. kickoff set for 10:00 this morning. live look outside at the

golden gate bridge. we are waiting for the rain to fall here in the bay area. dave spahr tracking the weather forecast. he has told me rain sunday into monday. how much will tell us in just two minutes. for the weekend, it's the veterans day parade in san francisco. get out there and enjoy it before the rain comes to us. honor the service and sacrifice of our armed forces happening at the embarcadero -- at embarcadero and northpointe streets starting at 11:00 this morning and like most events that we tell you about, this one is also free.

how much rain will we get? well, dave is tracking that. for that, let me toss it over to my colleague dave. when, how much and how cold will we be today? all those questions we have for you. good morning. >> good morning. here's a live look at sfo and couple of shots that we have been showing you here, you can see all the low lying cloudiness, kind of a stratus clouds that are here. that may actually break up a little bit later on this afternoon after we get some moisture moving on through. now, we have a front that's doing its performance, and usually post a front you get clearing going on. we may get that in the north bay and get sun coming out. but because of the moisture and disturbance that may generate a little more cloud cover. the cold air has yet to get

here yet. here's a live look at stormtracker four which you can get on your app and follow us online too at kron4.com. covering the north bay in terms of proper, this, as it gets more moisture moved in here, will cover more of the bay in terms of san francisco and getting also the east bay and the south bay involved in all of that. that will happen later on today. here it is on the satellite and the radar, not particularly that impressive. this is all far northern california. where is everything? it's actually still out to sea here but it will be riding the front through the day today so actually north bay may actually get most of its activity within the next couple of hours and the skies may open up a touch later on for today. we got lower 40s in the far east bay, fairly clear overnight, allow cooling to happen, buffered by the bay itself, the bay shoreline is around 50 or so, up to the north bay and middle 40s because that's where the shot of precipitation was happening and along the peninsula noticeably warmer or milder, lower 50s at work there. here's what's happening in downtown san francisco in terms

of temperatures. we are going to go with 59 by noon, 58 or so by 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. at 58 and then dropping down to the lower 50s later on in the afternoon. again, buffered because of the pacific and the bay itself all around, water all around. right now we are talking about temperatures 48 going on at the coast, 43 inland with the bay at about 50, then by noon, let's call it cloudy and scattered showers, although again in the north bay by that point it would probably be done. 58 for the coast, 61 at the bay, 57 inland, and then by 5:00 p.m. we are going to stay mostly cloudy and cool because the lion's share of anything anybody gets for today's performance, that will be by that point and we are going to go into kind of a drizzle to a lightly wildly scarlett shower event that -- scattered shower event that carries us into the overnight. then by tomorrow morning, another batch to look out for, that will have claps of thunder thrown in. we've got 60s that hover around the bay shoreline, believe it or not because it's buffered by the mild conditions there. upper 50s in the north bay which may only get there

because we may see the skies open up a little bit. coming up in a touch, we are going to show you -- run you through these models and let you know how this comes together plus a look at those temperatures and there's an improvement in the seven day as well. all of this rain gives us a good tease, a little sample of what we can expect come rain season. el niño, the pacific ocean is getting a little bit warmer and that's because of the strengthening el niño. if predictions are right we will get a heaping helping of much needed rain after our four- year drought. it's historic, we definitely need the rain but sometimes even too much rain is a problem, especially when we need the rain, there are parts in san francisco that have seen its fair share of flooding so we thank -- we sent kron4's marie kelly out there. >> reporter: hired a crew to dig up his parking lot and then build it up to be higher than the street. that's to keep what happened many times before from happening again. this cell phone video from last

december gives you an idea what he's dealing with. you're looking at a mix of rain and sewage that backs up when the downpours -- is the damage that was done to his customers' cars. he's not not the only one in this area to get flooded out. this video shows the same mud inside the stable cafe. the city pays for the cleanup of these properties and now the city's public utilities commission is reimbursing property owners for this type of work by way of their floodwater grant program. >> this is an innovative program because we are paying private property owners to do improvements on their own homes and businesses. so people are taking advantage of this program and they are getting reimbursed to put in backhoe preventers and make plumbing modifications, build floodwalls to keep the water out. raise their he will variations of their -- elevations of their floors. there's all sorts of things that you can do to keep water out of your property. >> reporter: this auto shop owner thinks the bill for this work will run close to 50 grand and says the city would pay him back 30 grand but hans might

end up actually turning that money down. he says the city attorney is asking him to sign something that would make him liable if the flood work doesn't do what it's supposed to and because floodwaters from his parking lot have run into his neighbors' property in the past, he's afraid accepting the city's money under these conditions will cost him a lot more in the long run. >> i'm a small business and i have to be careful, $30,000 might save me a whole lot more liability. >> reporter: the city says their floodwater grant program is just a stopgap measure until they can work out a sleuths to -- solution to try to keep this area from flooding during heavy downpours but they expect that to take years to engineer and cost hundreds of millions if not billions. maureen kelly, kron4 news. major breaking news that we are following for you from the south bay. there is a big fire burning at an apartment complex in san jose, take a look at these pictures into the kron4 newsroom over the past hour. you can see just how

destructive that fire is. the fire broke out on walnut blossom drive at around 3:30 this morning. got off the phone with the san jose fire department. they say the fire is not yet completely under control. at this point we don't know if anybody was hurt or how many people affected by the fire. kron4's avery harper, we sent her on her way about an hour ago. she should be there any moment and as soon as she gets there, she will give us a live report from the scene. memorial services were held in st. petersburg, russia this morning remembering the victims killed in the crash. 224 people died in the crash including 25 children. that plane crashed just over a week ago. u.s. and british officials say a bomb brought down the plane but cnn's paulo sandoval explains why egyptian

authorities say it's too early to reach that conclusion. >> reporter: egyptian officials saturday acknowledged the moments right before the russian jet broke apart mid-air and crashed into the sinai peninsula. >> was hurt in the last -- was heard in the last seconds of theoid recording, a special analysis will be carried out by official labs in order to identify the nature of this noise. >> reporter: according to french media, european investigators say the cockpit voice recorder indicated an explosion, also the flight data recorder confirmed the explosion was not accidental. while egyptian officials concur with the aircraft breaking apart mid-air, their investigation into what caused the plane to go down isn't yet clear. >> all groups who are working in parliament are currently in the information gathering stage. initial observations of the aircraft records does not yet allow for either defining the

origin of the in-flight breakup. isis already said it carried out the attack. a u.s. official told cnn that an internal message from the terror group in the sinai peninsula could indicate they were responsible. flight 9268 left the egyptian resort of sharm el-sheikh heading to st. petersburg russia when it dropped off the radar 23 minutes into the flight. i'm paulo sand vall reporting -- sandoval reporting. we have been telling you all morning about the veterans day parade in san francisco. that starts at 11:00 in the morning, so about 2 1/2 hours from now. right now we want to talk about something more serious, the struggles some veterans face. the local -- a local service member spoke with kron4 and she shares her battles with ptsd. her message, there's always hope. >> reporter: do you regret your service? >> absolutely not, absolutely not. >> reporter: not a surprising answer coming from a soldier,

but considering what oakland native melissa mar dwayne experienced in the u.s. army, you couldn't fault her for wanting to have some moments back. >> i've been suicidal, i've had ptsd, traumatic brain injury and those are definitely injuries not visible so a lot of people don't think they exist. >> reporter: they sure do. today she is a field representative for a contra costa county supervisor a single mother raising three kids in antioch. in 2005 she enlisted in the army as a dental specialist and eventually deployed to iraq where she was wounded by a more tore and -- mortar and later a victim of sexual assault. >> how do you get through that? >> you don't. you learn how to deal with it. i don't think it's something that will ever leave me. it's become who i am. >> reporter: and that's and -- and an advocate for veterans in need of help. medically discharged from the army in 2013, last month margain and some 900 others

helped raise $37,000 at a suicide prevention walk in oakland sponsored by the american foundation for suicide prevention. her passion these days, assisting troubled veterans to manage mental hurdles. >> honestly, i don't tell them anything. i listen. that's the number 1 thing that is probably the hardest thing to do, is to listen but that's what we need and not listen to respond, but listen to understand. >> reporter: the department of veteran affairs says some 20% of those who served in operation's iraqi freedom were enduring freedom suffering from ptsd. if you are a veteran in need, margain says head to your nearest veteran service office and they will help guide you. philippe djegal, kron4 news. crews trying to clean up after five tanker tars leaked eating fall into the -- ethanol into the mississippi river.

the railway company says some of the 25 derailed cars were empty auto rack and tanker cars carrying ethanol. they did not say how much leaked into the river and how far it spread. residents in alma, wisconsin say it was only a matter of time until something like this happened. >> you always worry about a derailment when you live -- if you look at the city of elma, the rail is located next to the city but you do always have that concern there's a lot more traffic and so we have been planning. we knew that this would probably happen at some time. >> the railway says the ethanol leak is not a threat to the public and the federal railroad administration will continue to investigate what caused this derailment. we are going to monitor that situation. we are also monitoring the weather. rain headed our way and, dave, you said only just a few hours from now. it's in the north, i know that, but it will be over us by noon? >> yeah, looks like down to the

south bay by noon into the early afternoon and then after that point, the batch that we are talking about at that point, which you're referring to, after that, we are into a light drizzle, maybe little patches of light rain here and there. and skies actually opening up in spots today, as that will then lead, it was a low we are talking about, until monday morning's event, which will be rocking and rolling with maybe a couple of claps of thunder or potentially hail and you have colder air aloft, also going to lower the snow levels by the time it gets off to our mountains off to the east. so perhaps 2500 feet or maybe 3000 feet in elevation, stormtracker four, you're talking about the rain up in the north bay, here the progress, making itself known in napa as well so pretty close but still out to sea and that's what we are watching here too, you can see from the radar barely showing up there, that which will make it through the city through san francisco, the east bay and down to the south bay and again timing appears to take us into the early

afternoon. so then again after all that is said and done, we are going to take a lull with all of this and that's basically with a frontal boundary. it's riding along the front. 50 or so with the bay happening right now, 48 for the coast, 43 for the inland valley. the inland valleys don't get very far today, 57, that will happen by about the noon hour and that's when we of course got the cloudy and showers going on. that's when the bulk of most of the coverage of the rain will be from our standpoint. then by 5:00 p.m., that's what i'm saying, most will be well since gone for the most part just light little drizzle happening. 60 for the bay, 65 coast and 58 inland. so chilly day today but actually downright cold for tomorrow with more activity to be expected. look at our temperatures now for us, mid-40s covering most of the north bay. far east bay in the lower 40s with the peninsula lower 50s with about 50 or so for half moon bay. that's relatively a mild temperature to note but we should also say that the front is just to the north of the peninsula so therefore the impact of the colder

temperatures has not yet been felt. futurecast 4, this is what i'm talking about, here we go, there's the plume of moisture, concord down to redwood city, almost a line riding that front as we talked about. that's high noon, into the early afternoon it covers the east bay down to the south bay but then by 4:00 or so, it's pretty much gone and you see things open up in wine country, the north bay and even parts of the east bay by about 5:00 or so even as late as 6:00, by that time the sun will be setting. but we might get daytime heating lay in the day to help with the temperatures reach the lower 60s because without it you can pretty much forget about it. going to the second part of the program, monday, oh, yeah, 4:00 a.m. gets kind of interesting here. there's more moisture spewing up this way, now we have instability aloft that will drive these storms to give us those claps of thunder and potentially some hail with all of that too. that will take us to about 10:00 a.m. there you see the coverage in the far east bay with the heavier rain showers by that point. do temperatures for you and again remember the clearing skies i made note of.

that's why it's fun to paint greens on here by 3:00 p.m., spokes if we get the sun out a little, that may give us enough daytime heating to break the 60- degree mark, then tonight get into chilly conditions of course, post the front even by 9:00 p.m. 40s start to settle. oakland, 61 by noon, 63 2:00 p.m., 62 by 4:00 and in the 50s already by the dinner hour of 6:00. let you know the entire area in terms of high temperatures today, right along the coast lower 60s at work, 59 san mateo, redwood city at about 60, heading further to the south and the south bay, do see some lower 60s making themselves known here. now, that's true that this system will be dropping and they are in the early afternoon, say about 1:00 or so, but again we may get some late day clearing to allow a couple of rays of sun to help boost the temperatures a touch. then for the inland regions of the far east bay, that's what we are talking about, upper 50s at work, going to be hard to get temperatures move much here with rain in our forecast and the east bay shoreline upper

50s and lower 60s. alameda about 60. richmond might make it up to 64. again with potentially some clearing. the north bay interesting too because we showed you how things cleared out. fairfield maybe 61, napa 61 as well, santa rosa at about 59. tomorrow as part of this program with claps of thunder thrown in there, maybe some hail and, boy, 54 for those inland valleys. by tuesday in theory we should open up, however, with cold air aloft and all this moisture at the surface, maybe some scattered clouds will keep in there. it is sunny as we go on through the day, gradually warm, hope you have your short shreeve for saturday doctors -- sleeves for saturday. the post going around and some people say it appears to be a ripoff. the post asked you to buy $10 gift and mail it to one of your facebook friends, then pass along the post with further instructions nominating other friends to participate. now, if you do, you are

promised to receive up to 36 gifts in the mail from your friends who play along. it is an appealing thought, who doesn't want more for their money, spend only $10 and receive dozens of gifts in exchange but some people are concerned about this. and here's the reason why. it resembles a pyramid scheme. our tech reporter gabe slate looks into whether the gift exchange is actually safe for you. >> reporter: all over tech news headlines and social media people are warning to beware of this facebook sister secret santa gift exchange post calling it a scam. i reached out to facebook. i have not heard back from them yet. because these gifts are sent through the mail to people's homes or work, this involves the postal service and that could be a problem. chain letters are illegal and this is being compared to that, like a facebook version of the chain letter gift scheme. according to the u.s. postal inspection service, the $10 present you put in the mail could be considered of value and the exchange promises you a substantial return.

that is a form of gambling and it's illegal. now, we were ahead of this story, kron4 shared a news article about this on our facebook page as it started trending. hundreds of people commend on our post saying it's not a scam and they have had a successful experience with this secret santa thing. many people referred to it as a positive movement, something that encourages generosity and posstivity -- positivity. i chatted with several people who told me they participated in this and they have not had any trouble and received gifts in the mail as expected. i caught up with jennifer valley, one of our viewers who reached out to us on facebook. >> i don't think it's a sham. if you follow your end of it and everyone does the same, you're going to receive some awesome things back. nice to come home and get some cool surprises in the mail and for people that you know -- from people that you know but haven't seen in a while. >> reporter: jennifer says she sent one gift out and has received nine gifts so far from current and old friends. she has been so moved by this

experience that a couple days ago she posted a picture showing people the proof. she laid out all her gifts she has received so far. >> a beautiful gift basket, a book on being a mom, i received a necklace, a nice thing any mom or woman would enjoy. >> she says this secret santa movement helped her reconnect with an old sorority sister who sent her a gift through this program. >> i haven't talked to her in 15 years. >> if you do this, do it with close friends or family only, people you trust, because your address will be out there. don't do this with strangers on facebook or friends of friends, you know, avoid people you don't know. with your tech trends, gabe splath. spongebob squarepants helped a 7th grader with autism saved a friend from choking at school. spongebob squarepants, he's

been watching it for a long time and he learned some of the life saving moves from that show. mag megbaker from our partnership at cnn spoke with him of what he learned watching that show throughout the year. >> reporter: he's a hero who acted quickly to help his friend. >> i saved her life, he was -- he got into apples at at cafeteria and i saved her life with the belly. >> reporter: this seventh grader, who is also sick, demonstrates on his dad how he performed the heimlich maneuver on his classmate. >> i realized choking on an apple. he started doing the heimlich and the apple came out. >> reporter: williams jumped into action at barns intermediate school with lyle saving -- life saving skills he learned on tv. >> he watched spongebob every day. >> in the episode spongebob safes his buddy patrick who was choking. anthony williams had no idea

his son knew how to do this. >> people thinking they are autistic, they are at a level they can't do anything but you have no idea. >> reporter: brandon, who has quite the sense of humor lovingly nicknamed his parents marshmallow and big mack. >> he doesn't want awards, doesn't want attention but he did something that can't even explain how proud we are of him. >> just so proud of him. >> with him, anything is possible. he might be saving my life some day. >> brandon, what were you for halloween? >> superman. >> he was superman and that's what everybody is calling him today. major breaking news that we are following for you this morning from the south bay. there's a big fire burning at an apartment complex in san jose, take a look at these pictures into the kron4 newsroom, just how destructive -- by these pictures you can tell how destructive that fire is. right now going on at the walnut blossom drive. it started actually at around

3:30 in the morning. the fire department says the fire is not yet completely under control. at this point we don't know yet and they are still investigating if anybody was hurt, how many people displaced by this fire. kron4's avery harper, we sent her on her way over the past hour or so. she should be there any minute. as soon as she gets there, establishes a live shot, we will bring it to you as soon as we possibly can from that fire still burning this morning. crosswalks are meant to keep people safe but what you may not know is some crosswalks have different meaning. stanley roberts explains in this edition of people behaving badly. >> now i know with your immaculate driving record, understanding what the yellow crosswalk means should be a no brainer. you may at times see a crossing guard, helping a kid or two in the yellow crosswalk, like denise palmer. one suggestion, try not to enter the crosswalk until the crossing guard has stepped on

the curb. i'm in unincorporated redwood city. a yellow crosswalks indicates a school crossing zone which means there's a school nearby. so you should be extra careful because at any time a kid could start out -- it also means it's more important that you stop before the limit line, not in the crosswalk which is what often happens. watch as a driver in the white stops when the car is just about to the intersection. in fact, the driver barely stops at all. this driver realizes he is in the crosswalk and backs up. the problem with backing up, if a child darts out behind a car, chances are that could pose a serious problem. also again, i have to stress, that you must stop before the crosswalk, which seems to be a difficult thing for some drivers to comprehend. more drivers i watched stopped inside the crosswalk. also coming to a complete stop

is important as a stop sign or the crossing guard has a stop sign extender. and watch this driver as it piggy backs and rolls the stop sign. then there was this person who totally ignored the stop signs and the yellow crosswalk. and a pedestrian trying to utilize the crosswalk when it's available but drivers remember, every intersection it could be considered an unmarked crosswalk so pay close attention at all times. in unincorporated redwood city -- dave give people some tips. a lot of people get up around now. they want to work out. what's the window for them to work out before rain covers us in the bay area here? i know it's in the north bay -- or it's in the north. >> if you're in the city in san francisco and the east bay, you probably want to get done before nan -- noon. if you're a late riser, i know yesterday was a big night.

to 4:00 p.m. here, that's when the lion's share and the bulk of precipitation will be happening, it looks like for san francisco, also east bay and down to the south bay. here it is kind of outlying the front, not a big wind producer either comparatively speaking. sometimes they can. but then the second shoot of fall is tomorrow and that's cold air aloft too helping out with the snow too, lowering those snow levels. here's your daily planner, speaking of which, right now mostly cloudy, cool, kind of overcast most locations, 48 happening at the coast, 43 inland, 50 at the bay, by the noon hour cloudy and showers, again most of it happening, by that point maybe the north bay will start to taper off, 58, 61 going out of the bay, 57, rather, inland and mostly cloudy, cold, that's when the light drizzle, spritses remaining with all of us and this with the lull of the activity going to carry us into the overnight. second batch gets here for tomorrow and sloppy commute with scattered thundershowers thrown in there and maybe even some bouts of hail to look out

we're also monitoring the windy conditions or lack there of at this time. the fire can create its own storm, though. >> yeah. it wasn't super thick right next to it, but i was there for like five minutes and i'm now not there and my lungs -- it was -- it's not a healthy environment to be around because you have a bunch of tires burning up, basically. >> could you smell the toxic air? >> oh, yeah. >> whatever whenever -- whenever i cover a fire tire, they are just brutal to breathe. did you smell the nasty smell? >> yeah. it was so bad. i saw firefighters coming away from the scene, getting refills on water tanks and have totally covered. it was really intense. firefighters were on the roof, trying to repair a roof that was burning. yeah, i don't know. there was a lot going on. >> do you know if the tire shop

was open at the time. did you see any employees outside with uniforms? >> yeah, the owner of the shop was outside, not looking too happy, obviously. didn't see anybody in the shop at the time. >> did you see any -- we all know that the fire is happening at the tire shop. did you see any nearby buildings on fire? >> yeah. it jumped to the next building. the firefighters were on the next top of the residential top next door, on the roof trying to keep it from spreading. fire for a few minutes. >> one last question. b9nç the time to talk to us. did you see any evacuations? i know there is a nearby apartment and we're showing the viewers a ppaií different pictuo the kron 4 newsroom interest a different vantage -- from a different vantage point. did you see anybody evacuated on the street? >> no. they had paramedics and emts on

the scene, but i didn't see anybody. luckily it didn't get to that point. >> do me a favor, if you have more video, more pictures, please send it to us. use the kron 4 mobile app , hit the report it button. not just jordy, this is a plea from all of us at kron 4. this is great during breaking news. send it to us and we'll bring it news. send it to us and we'll bring it to you as soon as we can. if you happened to see what's going on, just like jordy, i kronm and we'll get an interview with you as soonj÷ we're going to monitor the situation. me and dave, also monitoring the weather. dave, anything change? >> not really. though we have reports of light drizzle occurring in downtown. probably not going to do much to help, but at least it's not hurting, hopefully. you see from some of the pictures the dark smoke reaches up to the base of the clouds and spreads out a little bit,

showing that we're not even having much in the way of winds, although a breeze, maybe. you do see the surface winds had on the map to the left-hand side of your screen, not much. just a gentle breeze with that. in the forecast period, that looks like that will stay that same way. with a front you tend to have winds a lot of times and this in this particular case, it's not a wind generator, though we'll get fireworks tomorrow morning, potentially. we're waiting for the rain to happen downtown and points to the south and east. speaking of which i want to show real quick, satellite and radar. everything has been to the north, but where that is is that's that low. you sometimes will see on map equal lines of pressure drive the winds. the issue here is it's all north. we're not seeing much in the way

of isobars to central california. future cast 4, again, this is it's this afternoon. there you have it as we approach the noon hour. that's where the good opportunity is late this morning, even. then it spreads to redwood city , down to the south to san jose, the south bay and kind of clears our skies by about 4:00 into the early evening hours with the skies even opening up in the north bay, potentially prior right to sunset. activity, it looks like for the overnight hours. basically another plume moisture, but cold air up stairs that mayaè::::::::t34kç spark s tomorrow morning on your commute. north bay looks like it's getting hit with some of that, as late as the 10 tomorrow morning. ths another shot of the smoke -- there is another shot of the smoke. with rain in our forecast,

unlike having high pressure overhead and having the sun out and so forth, we'll get mixing. sometimes you can have cloud cover and not much mixing, but again in this kind of forecast, we probably should be seeing better cleib just want to show you your daily planner here. temperatures downtown upper 50s to about 60. wind northwesterly 5 to 10 and even at that looks to be a stretch. will. >> thank you so much, dave. while you monitor the weather situation, we continue to monitor the breaking muse out of san -- breaking news out of san francisco. a fire at a tire shop. we'll have much more on this in just a few minutes from now. knowaarp aarp andarp undaon are kingn huer with1 miion mealdonad drive endunge ams th lal ancie toeachhe hungest ong if y don thi dingunge wh youhinkarp th youon'tnow arp" fi mor surisi posbilies

. breaking news to us coming from san francisco right now. massive fire the in the mission district at 16th and folsom. we have learned over the past hour that the fire is happening

at a tire shop. you can see the thick, black smoke. if you have pictures and video, please send it to us. use the kron 4 mobile app, hit the report it button. reporting me now is fire chief white. can you tell us what's going on with the fire? any evacuations at this point? >> good morning, will. yes, we have a fire in a tire shop at 16th and shot well. we're getting a very good handle on it now. certainly we have a lot to deal with. our hands are full. third alarm. it's not under control, but we have a good handle on it. we have evacuated a couple of the adjacent buildings, but the crews have done an excellent job in containing the fire to the actual tire shop. wee see through -- we'll see throughout the day. we're happy to report no injuries to civilians or firefighters. >> the fact that it's a tire shop, does it change how you attack the fire? >> it does. initially crews went in, initial

reports were there was smoke inside, but it quickly escalated to active flames. we pulled the crews out from inside the building, then also had crews up on the roof. went into defensive mode rather quickly, which is pretty much standard for a fire with this type of -- under this type of situation. >> how is the breathing in that situation? are people who live just a little bit outside that place, have they been told to have a shelter in place? >> i believe we've told some of the neighbors to do that of the fortunately the weather is cooperating. it's damp and moist, which is good. it's not kind of hanging in the air. even when i came up, there was active flame on scene. and very, very thick, dark, black smoke, indicative of the fuel that's burning, the tires and rubber that are burning. the color of that smoke changed, which is always a good sign we're getting a really good handle on it at this point. and we have pg&e, traffic challenges in the area, but we look to be under control within

the hour. >> thank you so much. that's chief joann white joining us. we'll have much more after this commercial break. thank you, chief.

. kron 4 news starts now with breaking news. breaking news is a fire happening right now in san francisco on 16th and folsom. we have learned over the past hour that this is going on at a tire shop. we just got off the phone with fire chief joann white. she told us there have been evacuations in that area. because it's a tire shop, they have all kinds of toxic chemicals. it's forcing the fire department to approach it much differently than they would if it was a simple structure fire. breathing could be an issue. the can good news is we've -- the good news is we've learned that she said no injuries to the

firefighters or anybody nearby that area. that's the good news. the fire department still not calling this fire under control. we just secured an interview. ç john who lives near that area. john, we are showing pictures of that fire, what's going on. can you update us? how does it look? we're hear the smoke is turning white to grayish. was black and very dark. right now they're just doing some cleanup. and some of the firefighters are leaving as i speak. >> could you tell us what you heard, what you saw? do you live near that area? could you hear an explosion that got your attention? >> no. when i came up on it, it was starting. and the firefighters still hadn't arrived. but when it did happen, i didn't hear any explosions or anything,

just a bunch of dark, dark smoke. it just turned white maybe ten minutes ago. >> i presume, john, that you live in that area. could you tell the bay area audience what some of the businesses, some of the buildings in your neighborhood right now is. >> we have a bunch of small businesses, mom and pop shops. we have a health clinic right across the street from the tire shop that's on fire. it's unfortunate. a lot of people are going to lose some jobs. but it does look like they did a good job to keep it from the next building catching on fire. >> do you see any people evacuated? we just heard from the police chief -- excuse me, the fire chief, that there have been some he vac vacations. >> absolutely. they -- evacuations.

>> absolutely. they evacuated the whole building next door because it caught fire. >> i live exactly one block away. as i speak, they're shooting water into the garage and making sure that the fire is out from the inside out. >> how is the breathing? whenever a fire happens at a tire shop, breathing can be unbearable. how is your breathing situation right now, sir? >> unfortunately for the people down wind, yeah, it was hard to breathe. because that's the way i came from, a few blocks away from where i live. when i got home, i was up wind, so i didn't have to deal with it here. but for those that did have to deal with it, it was pretty harsh. >> can you give us street closures? i know the fire department and nnnnnnnnnn.gñ working hand in hand. are the streets completely shut down? >> it's about an eight-block radius. folsom to mission -- not

mission, but van ness. you've got 16th to 17th are the only streets that are accessible. 16th street from'( pq] folsom n ness is un accessible. >> do you see more fire trucks arriving to the scene or it looks like it's been pretty stable, pretty much the same amount of firefighters over, say, the past 30 minutes or so? >> no, the firefighters are slowly but surely leaving as cleanup is starting. >> that is great news. so it looks like some of the firefighters are starting to roll up some of their gear. as we're showing you new video. it looks like the flames -- can you see visible flames? we are showing our audience huge flames. >> they got it down now. they're just making sure any hot spots are not going to flare-up. >> you don't see any flames anymore? >> absolutely not. they got it out.

>> so the hot spots are obviously still a big concern. you didn't hear any explosions, street closures around an eight block radius. >> that's correct. it's all about making sure that nothing flares up and it's all about cleanup right now. >> do you know some of the nearby businesses, any of the pell who work there, who -- people who work there, who own the businesses? have you been able to talk to them? >> no, i don't know them personally, but i'm sure they're affected by it because it's xdt(ç to affect the businesses somehow. >> thank you so much, dave, for joining us. now on the phone to let us know what's going on in that area. we really appreciate that. daves following the weather pattern in that area. what's the very latest, dave? will, one of the things that the fire chief was talking about earlier that helps out here is that the damp conditions as

well. that is good news too, that we are having. and not much in the way of a breeze at all. roads at the embarcadero. that's good news, getting a little drizzle here. looks like a little better commitment to seeing scattered showers] will really what underscores all of this is on one hand, good news that we don't have much in the way of winds. we like to try to clean up the atmosphere a little bit. hopefully with rain in our future that will happen. there is a front in ourmynnnnnnk wrard and what tends to be the case when you have a front like that, it tends to drive winds. the driving factors for all of that are far up toward the north. there you see the embarcadero. wet roads that you can see there, marine layer is very much here as a player. so that's good news. a little bit of a local breeze, sure. but even looking at our forecast products, the winds don't really pick up more than five miles per

hour or somewhere around there. general program is going to be for the downtown area, the opportunity for showers probably anywhere from, say, 10 to 11 all the way to the early afternoon. and then we're looking for another batch to develop again.

. welcome back.

4 newsroom over the past five minutes. you can see the flames still burning. this is actually a change. the reason why is we just got off the phone with a person nearby that location. he tells us that the flames are out. there is white smoke now. that's a good indicator, no longer thick, black smoke. here is the new pick t ture i was just telling you about. white smoke. the black smoke is gone. he doesn't see any huge flames. if you're just tune in, let me get you up to speed. the fire started in the 7:00 hour at a tire shop. over the past ten minutes we were able to talk to the fire chief, joann white. she tells us fortunately no injuries to anyone nearby, no injuries to the workers or to the fire department. they have closed off that area to make sure they have plenty of room for the fire department to continue to work. there have been some evacuations. people who live nearby because s a tire

shop, have been told to stay in because of breathing problems. much more on this right after this commercial break.

. welcome back. we continue to follow breaking news out of san francisco. this is new picture coming in from our viewers. great news to pass along. the thick black smoke that we saw 15, 20 minutes ago replaced with white smoke. the flames are out, that the fire department made significant progress. this is a#yjpjpjs$ñmçw3ççç. this is presumably around 8:00 or so. you can see the thick black smoke reaching to the sky. if you're just joining us, let me get you up to speed. this fire started in the 7:00 hour near the area of 16th and folsom. we have learned by talking to witnesses, including fire chief

joann hayes white that this fire shop. it's called rolling stock. chief white told us that no injuries towúrppfñó[&ezñ3[çw3 o the workers, to anyone nearby. they jumped quickly all over it. the fire department had teams attacking the flames. 7w3w3ç other crews out there to evacuate nearby buildings for their safety. buildings that live a little away from this fire, they've because this is a tire shop. plenty of toxic materials inside which can make breathing very 8amççç especiallye already prone to breathing problems. the fire department, they're nog this fire under control. but as soon as they arrived, they saw how huge the flames were, that they immediately, without even worrying about this, they raised their ladders without being told. they raised ladders, attacked it from above because it was simply too dangerous to allow the

firefighters to go inside. instead use the ladders and sprayed water down below. monitoring that situation, we have a team of reporters at the scene. dave spar is monitoring the wind conditions. has anything changed over the past 15 or 20 minutes? >> not really. take it. the weather has been working, as you heard the fire chief talking earlier, in our favor. here's a look at wind speeds all over the bay area. oakland jumps out at 12 miles an hour, but most readings are below below 10 and we're secretarying it to -- we're expecting it to stay that way. this is not just a given because with the frontal boundary, you do tend to have winds. but what's going on in this particular case and one of the reasons why we're not getting more in the way of precipitation, light drizzle only in parts of downtown, is

because most of the energy is far up towards the north. there is a wide perspective on the left-hand side of your screen. northern california getting the heavier rains and winds up to to oregon and washington state. the good news being we have the marine layer checking in. it's foggy, low lying moisture that's all good and not much in the way of winds. not much in the way. mixing happening a loft, as youn see the plume of smoke that reaches for the base of the clouds and hang around a little bit. as far as the break down tore today, by noon -- for today, by noon, cloudy and showers very modest. 4 or 5 p.m., most of the activity for today should probably be over, light spritz and sprinkle here and there. cool conditions with maybe about 60 in the bay, 58 inland and 55 at the coast. but there is more to come. let's go through this m terms of the rain a -- in terms of rain arriving downtown. stretching off to the east bay and down to the south bay in the

early afternoon. the mortsdz bay opens up, are -- north bay opens up. 6 p.m. losing the sun, go into a variable cloudy night through much of it until the next batch arrives. moisture riding cold era loft, up stairs. we don't have much in the way of winds, but because of the instability, we may get thunderstorms and hail. but at least more rain and snow for our mountains. >> thank you so much. i'm continuing to monitor this breaking news out of san francisco, as you can see. this is a little bit of earlier. the huge flames, the thick black smoke reaching to the sky. the fire broke out in the 7:00 hour. we know, we have confirmed that the fire is going on right now at a tire shop just off 16th and folsom. it's called rolling stock. new information to pass along, no injuries to any of the workers at that location, to anyone who lives nearby. the fire department rushed to

the scene. they saw how huge the flames were that they did not bother, for the safety of the firefighters, to not send anybody inside that building. but instead they raised ladders. they shot water down to that location. and over the past 20 minutes, good news to pass along. in fact, here's video. we want to draw your attention to the screen. the thick, black smoke replaced by white smoke. that is a great indicator that they have kurnd the corner on this -- turned the corner on this fire although they're not calling it under control. many of the pictures coming from to us from kron 4 viewers. we encourage you the to go to our mobile app and hit the report it button. send us pictures or call. we can. i've been interviewing many people through the morning. as soon as you get us the pictures, we'll get it on and credit you. you can see the fire going on

right now. there has been a shelter in places, a lot of people encouraged to tell people stay in your place because this fire is going on at a tire shop, plenty of toxic materials, including the tires themselves, that breathing will become an issue or has already for many people with breathing problems. they're telling those people to stay in doors. it appears that a nearby building, we're not exactly sure what kind of building or the name, but in appears to be other buildings in that location that might have suffered superficial damage to that area. the good news is, again, no injuries to anyone. this happening early hours, in the 7:00 hour. many people presumably asleep at that time. the fire very intense. the firefighters have taken over that area. we have learned thatyz to one caller who i interviewed over the past few minutes, he says it appears at least four to

five block radius, that the fire department shut down that area to allow the fire department as much room as they possibly can to work on this fire. way too early to tell the cause of the fire. i've talked to many people in that area and they say they did not hear any explosions. so as soon as the fire department gets an upper hand on this fire, the hot spot under control, only then will they allow arson investigators to go inside to find out the cause of this fire. you can see there are huge flames and black smoke. please continue to send us pictures. i'll have much more on this, an update on this breaking news in just a few minutes from now.

. welcome back. we continue to follow breaking s out of san francisco. we want to draw your attention to the screen. on the left side this is video earlier into the kron 4 newsroom. over the past hour, the thick

black smoke at that time. on the right side, here is a map to give you a feel of the location. we know this is happening in the mission district, specifically 16th and folsom, shot well area. we know and we have been able to confirm over the past hour that this fire is going on at a tire shop called rolling stock. and the video on the left, this is when the fire was still climbing, still getting very hot. the good news is over the past 30 minutes, it appears that the fire department has turned the corner. that thick black smoke has been replaced with white smoke. that is an indicator that the flames are out. hot spots obviously a huge concern movingg"=g::::::zt.f fw that thick black smoke is gone. white smoke, we talked to joann haze white, firev=cpjpjpb at the top of the hour. she did confirm no injuries to anyone living in that area, to any of the firefighters, or any

of the workers who are at the scene. here is new video. you can see from the ground level, this is from jordy, who we interviewed a couple minutes ago on the kron 4 news. you can see just how many fire trucks are at the scene. this is over the past 30 minutes or so. you can see at that time thick black smoke, flames, jordy did tell me that we do not see any flames at this point, but you can see no pedestrian traffic, no civilian cars going through. that area has been taken over by a team of firefighters. i would imagine all hands on deck as they rushed to the mission district to put out the fire. you can see the vantage point from this area, from the ground. if we show that camera shot one more time you might be able to shop. we are told by chief white, along with many people in that area, they did not hear an

explosion at that tire4wpppw s. so that has been ruled out at this point. but of course all things are on the table. as soon as they put out the flames, make sure the hot spots are no longer a concern, only then will they allow the fire investigators to go inside. much more on this story, please continue to send us pictures. we will show it to you just like this on the kron 4 morning news. we'll be right back.

to you. white smoke now. the flames are no gone. -- are gone. hot spots a big concern. we know it started at a tire shop called rolling stock. 4's maureen kelly. she rushed to that area as maureen, what's an updategl that situation? >>reporter: good morning. i'm stabbing in front of the tire shop here and i can tell you that firefighters are still surround and drown. they are shooting water at this from all different directions. the good news is that most of the smoke is actually dissipated, which is great. because earlier this morning, as you know you could see in the video, it was thick, black smoke. most likely toxic considering that the tires were here on fire. i can still see a few flickers of flames going on here as roof.

i'm actually rolling on it just in case this roof actually collapses, which it looks like it could. i'm sure these steel girders i'm looking at were not in this position before this fire started. basically the firefighters are up on ladder trucks. ?re@pí.pm&úw from all different sides. they don't have a cause on this fire. residents from surrounding buildings. there is a green, i would say a four-story apartment that has sustained some damage. i'm looking at it right now. it looks like the rather apartment, upper apartment was damaged. it was charred. there are firefighters standing in next to it. unintended habitable. i talked with a woman who lives

two doors down, says she was woke up with at 8 a.m. with a police officer standing in other room, saying get out u you have to go. she looked out the window and saw a wall of flames. she had packed a few things in case of a fire and pulled her precious possessions and ran out the door. she is fine and like i said, no injuries here. the owner of the building of this tire shop is on scene. him yet. he's been talking to various investigators. ars an task force -- arson task force is here looking into the cause of the fire. they are still pouring lots and lots and lots of water on top of this building. maureen kelly, kron 4 news. >> has the breathing situation improved? (dt joann hayes white, e chief, said that people living a distance away from the area, they were encouraged to stay in

their place. has breathing become better? >> i have to&÷ ppazññ tell you y just started smelling smoke when i was standing on the corner of 16th and shot well. i have been favorable for that. they did tell people if the they were having any kind of breathing problems, i'm sure some people are much more sensitive to that stuff. right now i'm right across the street from the fire and maybe i'm a little used to it now, but i don't feel like i'm smelling smoke. ç a little white with the smoke, but much smaller amounts of smoke than what we saw earlier this morning at 8 a.m. . ?re@pí.pmw tire shop was open for business at the time or was it closed when this fire broke out? >> you know, i don't know that. i'm going to have to guess at 8 a.m. on aum:::::::::

?re@pí.pmw struts, shocks, and batteries is what it#3nnnnnnnn says out here outside. so, yeah, i couldn't tell you. but my guess is that the business was closed at the time. >> thank you so much, again, for joining us, maureen kelly. she just said there is a dd and drown approach. that means that now the very little flames that she can can, they're pouring massive amounts of water on that to fire to put it completely out. dave, you're monitoring the situation when it comes to the wind. maureen says it's not too bad in that area. is it going to get worse later on? >> no. it looks like the forecast elements are with us in all of this. we didn't see anything in terms of winds in the last check. oakland

it may be a freakish number since it's the only one on the board had that elevated. we stay in single digits all day with the fronts in our backyards, that's usually not that typical. we usually northwesterly. ?re@pí.pm&úw around martinez, a little in the way of showers. we have noted in sky cams across the downtown area, embarcadero, for example, scattered showers at work there. vç[3g3 see -- there is a line of showers you see there, that is the future of what lies ahead for downtown. the storm system driving this is far up towards the north in terms of the energy and the wind. that's good news. that will stay to the north. but it also doesn't help giving us more in the way of rain or]j3 precipitation. but there is a lot of moisture

still at the surface, having a damping effect on this fire, good news there. kind of the break down for you by noon, 58 at the coast, 61 bay side. for the inland valleys, 57. by 5 p.m., we take a bit of a breather. mostly cloudy, cool. maybe light spritz here and there. temperatures upper 50s to about 60 going on at the bay. i want to go to the forecast models to give you a general idea about timing for your sunday. we go out to the noon hour and shortly there after. there you see the peninsula pretty much covered down to

nnnnnnnnnn.n like taking a colr ñ putting it above a tea kettle. that will be a sloppy morning commute to take note of. >> thank you so much. we continue to follow breaking news out of san francisco. please continue to send us pictures and video. qn be right back with an update in just a few minutes.

. we continue to follow breaking news out of san francisco. these are the latest pictures into the kron 4 newsroom. in fact coming into the newsroom during our commercial break, smokey conditions still, but the thick black smoke that we've been showing you all morning that is a great sign that the fire department has turned the corner on this tire shop fire that took place in the 7:00 hour at 16th and folsom in the mission district. it was so intense that the fire department, when they arrived to the scene, they knew right away,

raised ladders, let's attack this from above. send thousands of gallons of water down to that building, instead of rushing the firefighters into the building because it was simply too dangerous for in them. there is video that we want to show you during the 7:00, 8:00 hour, thick black smoke reaching to the sky. good news to pass along, we're not hearing of any injuries. another update in a few minutes from now. please continue to send us pictures and video.

. welcome back. continuing to follow breaking news out of san francisco. 7:00 hour. we have gathered so much information for you over the past 30 minutes. we know that the fire started at a tire shop called rolling stock. this is at 16th and shot well. we also can tell you that there report. the fire department, as soon as. they got02 the fire department, as soon as. very intense, very toxic, all of

the materials inside that tire shop, tires, rims, chemicals. that they immediately raised thd ders, shot thousands of gallons of water down to the flames, kept firefighters outside for their safety. you can see the flames coming from the rooftop there. we talked to maureen kelly five minutes ago and she said that roof is in jeopardy of collapsing. because there are nearby apartments and condominiums, that many of the people who live evacuate. take a look at this. on the right side of your screen, just to give you a lay of the land, perspective, there is a map. 16th and folsom. there is the tire shop that they were focusing on. there have been a little bit of damage to nearby buildings as well. other buildings a little bit away from the tire shop have been told to stay inside because of the breathing issues. fortunately no one rushed to the hospital as far as we know because of the breathing

situation. we also want to pass a long, this is a huge day for a lot of people who want to celebrate the veterans day parade. as far as we know, no impact to that parade as well. it is still scheduled to go on at 11:00. we know that the tire shop, it appears was closed the at the time. but the owner of the tire shop is on the scene. the fire department has closed n that area with the help of the san francisco police department. as far as maybe three to four block radius to make sure their fire trucks have plenty of room. right now they're taking what they're calling the surround and drown approach, meaning they're surrounding this fire, which has now turned into white smoke, which is a good indicator that they now have turned the corner, still continuing to pour thousands of gallons on the building to put out hot spots.

dave spar monitoring the situation as well. fortunately it is not windy in that location. >> we have damp locations with all of this, which is not that unusual but because rain is in our forecast too, this is all adding up to a decent scenario with this at hand. there is a live look at what the winds are like in downtown san francisco. you can see just a one miles per hour wind at last check. elsewhere it's pretty modest. oakland has popped at about 12. that may be a freakish number. for the most part, winds not playing a feature. that's not just a throw away because with the fronts you get the winds usually. after the front passes, that happens this afternoon. there is a live look for a little bit of the breeze that we have at the embarcadero. we are getting some happening at the surface and wet streets from the drizzle that's going on. stormtracker 4 is noting some of us up towards parts of the east bay as you'll notice.

. we continue to follow breaking news out of san francisco. right here are live pictures from the scene. you can see the fire department finally getting a chance to look at the situation. the reason why is for the past two hours, they've had their hands full trying to put out huge flames, thick black smoke at this fire shop. kron fo you are's avery -- kron 4's avery harper just arrived to the scene. >>reporter: it's maureen kelly.

avery just handed me the microphone since i've been here since 8 a.m. and she just rolled up. we decided i'll take over for now. they're still pouring water hard and heavy on this fire. it flared up again a few moments ago and there were big clouds of black smoke coming up. those look like they've mostly dissipated. but obviously the fire is far from being completely out. i saw flames as much as about 15 minutes ago, more flames still coming out. now, you can see in this video here, just how bad the damage is. there is pretty much no roof left on this building here. this fire started at 8 a.m. it was a thick and heavy black smoke that came pouring off this tire shop. obviously tires being tough to put out because of what they're made of. this fire, they had to evacuate

buildings, the surrounding buildings here. there is about a dozen people who were forced to get out. i talked to a woman who got out around 8 a.m. she says a police officer came knocking on her door, telling her to get out. she saw a wall of flames and couldn't believe how big the fire was. there have been no injuries. firefighters have been advising that some of the residents in the area to shelter in place because of what's burning here, the fact that these are tires burning. but i have to tell you from my two hours being out here, i have not really smelled -- it wasn't too bad in terms of the smell. it wasn't until i was right on top of the fire across the street from it that i could really start smelling it. there is a building adjacent to this tire shop that has the sustained damage -- has sustained damage to the back of

it. this is the building that the firefighters i think have been trying to concentrate on keeping it from setting on fire as well. but it looks like there is damage to the rear of that building. the fire chief earlier today told me that what they are doing here is surround and drown. that's the latest here from the scene, maureen kelly, kron 4 news. >> did the fire chief tell you possibly who called the fire in to them and how much of a jump star the fire got? >> she did not say that. they said they were called around 8 a.m. and i know because i live not far from here that i could hear the sirens around that time. there is a fire station not far away from here at all. i would imagine their response to this was receipty quick. >> thank you so much -- pretty quick. >> thank you so much for that, maureen kelly and avery harper. you can see from the bottom up through the roof into the sky

here. the fire department continuing to pour thousands of gallons of water on to the building right now. the ladders extended. it was so hot, so heavy, so dangerous, the fire department knew they're not sending anybody inside. instead raising ladders, shooting water down to the building. that building completely destroyed. to make matters more difficult, because it's a tire shop, they have to deal with the toxic chemicals, the burning tires. fortunately no injuries to anybody inside the building. no injuries to the firefighters, the fire department. we talked to one caller who said that she saw a police officer at her building in her unit telling her to get out. so the fire department, the police department, at the jumped ppñ tl over this, got everybody out as quickly as they could. situation. at this point way too early ç'&lóvókb[6vñznó73ç
