chains are required currently on 80 and 50. and the snow is not as heavy as it was earlier, but here is something interesting that you do not see every day, snow with a thunderstorm at the same time. a severe thunderstorm one hour ago actually produced a tornado or at least a funnel cloud to the west. this is some really heavy snow in here and as we go through tonight, the snow conditions continue. your storm warnings are still in effect in the bay. scattered showers, some of them heavy, the heaviest activity on the peninsula. this is quickly coming down the peninsula, and the - - the heaviest rain is moving toward mountain view and sunnyvale. this shower has been taken el camino from san bruno and into santa clara. it is continuing to move southeast around 35 miles per hour. i was watching this shower go down on the bridge camera. it looks like things are beginning to taper off at this time. tonight, scattered showers are still a possibility. they will decrease after 8:00, and the best chance is going to be along the coast and into the

santa cruz fountains. there may be showers left around sunrise and for christmas day it looks nice. a lot of sunshine but a cool day in this arctic air mass. >> brian, talk about cutting it close, next, people out today doing holiday shopping. >> and the war of words between donald trump and hillary clinton. and the santa tracker, the big guy goes to south america and right now he is heading from rio to brazil and he will be there in seven seconds, 4 billion gifts have already been delivered and we will be tracking it through the evening. stay with us, we will be right back.

happy birthday. i just had a heart attack... and now i have a choice. for her. for them. and him. a choice to take brilinta. a prescription for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin ...no more than 100 mg. as it affects how well it works. it's such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems.

tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today. tomorrow. and every day for as long as my doctor tells me. don't miss a day of brilinta. a pre- christmas storm has

terrorism concerns grow at the airports today as holiday travel increases. the tsa is becoming reliant on bodies cameras for scanners as more than 9 million passengers take to the skies the season. >> there is a little concern about the new rules that come just in time for the holiday. they mean you cannot opt out of going through the body's camera for skinner. a lot of people did that because they are concerned about radiation. going through the scanner provides a small amount of

radiation, and they were in today with heightened awareness about terrorism and i worry that there could be more attacks on united states soil. they have decided that some people will not be able to opt out of going through the scanners or asking for somebody to pat them down. they are saying it does not apply to everybody, but some people will be picked out where they say sorry, you will have to go through the scanner and you will not the able to ask for someone to do the patdown instead. and we should talk about the numbers of people who are traveling this holiday season. aaa estimates 100 million people are going to be going more than 50 - - 50 miles from home this christmas and new year. the majority of folks will be on the road. but don't get road rage because it will be crazy out there.
