opting to shop online and they wentshopping yesterday. look for restrictions, limited supplies, cutoff time and don't forget, of course, to comparison shop. you have big half who have here at the express and a lot of the clothing stores are offering half off. pretty good deals to be had if you have any clothes that you need to get this holiday season. live in concord, i'm tara moriarty a lot of people get out there now that they know the weather will move in this weekend. people are less prone to shop when we have rain across the bay area. go ahead, tara >> reporter: i almost didn't want to say that the gap was 50% off because i don't want people to go and take all the clothes that i want to get, you know. so i will tell you that there are a lot -- i want to coop it hush, hush. now everybody knows. the cat's out of the bag. there are a lot of really good.

shopping is never really surprising on the day after thanksgiving, is it? when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, it is foggy. some of that fog that we have been talking about prompted chp to issue advisories to drives across the richmond, bay bridge, san mateo bridge and dunn barton bridge. 7:18. let's go back to rosemary and the center. >> good morning to you, sal. we're going to give you a look towards the east where we also have the low clouds, little bit of fog there and a beautiful ball of fire there. the santa rosa, about 20 minute or so, partly cloudy skies, dry conditions for today. you do have that fog this morning that sal has been talking b i'm watching a ridge of high pressure slow hi break down. take a look here. i have the water vapor look on here so you can pick up the circulation in the atmosphere. we have been high and dry for several days now but, again, it's beginning to slip.

collin kaepernick had one of his worst games of his career. he was intercepted twice by richard sherman. the seahawks feasted on the 49ers. owner and ceo jed york tweeted. >> kaepernick was asked about that tweet at a postgame news conference. >> it's not acceptable. we didn't play well. we didn't perform well. we have much higher standard for ourselves. >> tweet to the fans apologizing saying this is unacceptable. i apologize. how does that strike you? >> it is what it is. >> you know what we have to do. >> reporters asked head coach jim harbaugh about that tweet. he never directly answered the question. instead, responded by saying that the team didn't execute. this morning, on sports

insiders, the tweet from the 49ers ceo could be a sign that the team is considering getting rid of head coach jim harbaugh. on our ktvu facebook page, we asked if you think the 49ers need a coaching change or are you confident in coach harbaugh? behind me here are some of the responses that we've gotten so far. josh dionia says, sadly, it's not just on hard but on the players as well. we did hear kaepernick take part of the blame for the loss, especially those interceptions. >> and chris boswell said that it's the offensive coordinator who is to blame. richard gutierez, start docking players and coaches' pay. pay should be performance base. >> never heard of that idea but

something definitely that can be discussed down the road. >> reporter: last one here, good, come to oakland. we heard those rumors about coach harbaugh going to oakland or michigan where he played college ball. a lot to be talked about down the road regarding the 49ers and the coach. we want to know what you think. share those comments on our facebook page or tweet us at ktvu with the hashtag mornings on 2. claudine? >> thanks, mike. providing the gift of warmth holiday season, the event is held across the bay area and how you can help today. >> live at unvalley mall in concord where black friday sales are underway. we'll tell you where the deals are and we'll also let you know where the lines are. good morning, right now, we are looking at northbound 101 in san jose. it looks very good. probably the best you will see

nicely. the freeways are doing well. if you are going shopping. some of the mall parking lots have not been completely filled out. there is still room but some are getting kind of close. from the carkinnas bridge. >> you only have 26 days and 16 hours until christmas -- who is counting. instead of waiting for the last minute. many consumers are getting a jump on their holiday weekend. tara moriarty is at the sun valley mall. they are getting some pretty sweet deals, tara in. >> i'm ready to be one of those customers. i've coffee in hand, all caffeinated. the purse, the wallet in there. i'm ready to spend and there are a lot of great deals here. buy one, get one half off. people started trick willing in last night when the mall opened. it was peak shopping time.

some of these stores even chose to stay open all night long. we have not seen too many lanes this morning, except these folks waiting to buy a pair of the new air jordan at the foot locker. these folks stood in line. back this morning ready to cough up $185 for a pair of the flashy sneakers which are not on sale, by the way. others were scouting out deals and steals. there was a big craze when the doors opened. >> yesterday was crazy. we start out at wal-mart. there's people all over the country and it was crazy. they were not listening to the salespeople. they were grabbing stuff. a couple of gals got into a fight. it was just -- it was really intense. we got here this morning a little bit ago and it's there. it's a major difference compared to what people go

through on thanksgiving versus today. >> now, the reason there aren't too many lines, people are opting to shop online and others hit the stores yesterday. the malls were not as packed. people were interested in discounting electronics. you can see this in the background. that's the only store here, sears, that sells the chainsaw for sal. >> and look at this, claudine. this is jean. i think you could fit into that sexy little number. size zero. >> maybe black and white ball. >> if i could fit into that, i would buy it. >> i don't know. thanks for thinking of me. maybe like a comfy sweatshirt, swats. i don't know. that dress makes me a little nervous. >> thanks, tara.

it's cold, you probably take it for granted but a lot -- for a lot of people, they don't have that luxury. >> absolutely. just this last week, i was talking with single mothers who talked about the need to have their multiple children receive coats for this winter so they can stay warm and be able to have a great holiday season. homeless people that are sleeping underneath freeways and dealing with this winter, we can actually change lives when we reach out with this small expression. >> there you have it. that's the pitch from ben mcbride, city team ministries. that's one of the organizations that benefits here from the one warm coat drive. if you want to make a donation, we appreciate it. you can go to the fairy building in san francisco. bins are set up there santana row and san jose. also walnut creek or if you want to, come down and visit us here. right by the christmas tree. the bin is here. all ready for you. grab that gently used coat. bring it on down. back to you guys >> thanks so much, alex.

morning. rosemary and i have been talking but it looks positively better here at the toll lost gentleman. >> if you are driving, let's say, to the live more valley, traffic here is looking good with no major issues. >> that is a beautiful shot there, that blue sky. claudine thinks you should go with a puppy. >> a puppy? oh, no. we have enough pets. >> having a puppy is like having another child. >> right. >> taking a look outside, where we have been dealing with that fog and now beginning to clear from san jose as well. we will be partly cloudy to mostly sunny. along the coast and i think over the north bay, we're going to remain partly cloudy to mostly cloudy. and it has to do with this system here. we are in a bit of transition. what exactly does that mean? today will be cooler. onshore breezing strengthening a little bit.

this system still about 100 miles to the north of us, at least the rain line is and it will take all day to work into the north bay. it's going to be in the north baby about sunset and remains into the north day by the evening hours which means that central and south bay will remain dry. i'm going to roll through and show you what to expect. takes all that time before it crosses to the central play. so between 5:00 and 2:00 a.m., primarily over the north bay, scattered showers are falling and part of the coast line down into ocean beach, maybe pacific ya by 2:00 a.m. while we are sleeping, it begins to slide south. as we wake up in the morning, scattered showers. it will be the rain tomorrow among, slick roads in the forecast. all of saturday. i now pushed all the way into sunday morning and we wake up again with scattered showers and guess what? another round of scattered showers will continue into sunday afternoon. in addition to picking up some beneficial rain for the bay

area, we have some snow coming to the sierra. that also means, if you are traveling to the sierra, be prepared for treacherous roadways. for your weekend, in a nutshell, a mix of rain and scattered showers. mostly cloudy skies and cool conditions. we do have one to two inches of rain, i do expect, for the weekend but more rain recally next week. when all is said and done, i'm talking way out by wednesday, the possibility is anywhere from one to three inches of rain for urban areas, three to six inches for the coastal hills. that's the good news. 6 to 12 inches of snow. temperatures right now in the mid-40s in concord. 40 degrees in napa. 48 in redwood city. a chilly start but this is actually better where we started because many of us have slipped into the 30s afternoon high, low to mid-60s. cool to mild day. rain moves in overnight. and then it just tips. saturday, sunday, unsettled on monday, another round tuesday

into wednesday. 30s. >> chilly this morning. >> some areas down to about 35. >> all right. >> thanks, rosemary. >> see you, guys >> call it a wedding proposal mishap. >> i thought i would just bounce about three or four steps over and go between two planks. >> we heard of a needle in a haystack. how about a diamond in a rushing river. in 20 minutes, why a sheriff department dived in saying it needed to step in. there is a worldwide campaign on the way to assign a catchy name to this upcoming tuesday. before you roll your eyes, you may find this one a little less commercial. - ( helicopter whirring ) - ( roars )

campaign to protest the ferguson grand jury's decision not to indict officer darren wilson. they want to boycott black friday and draw attention to what they call an unfair justice system. they are encouraging people, especially african americans to turn to economic activism. >> we're going to boycott, use economic sanctions, use different tactics to get you to see that we're not going to take this anymore. >> the oakland protest starts at noon. demonstrators have spread the word through twitters by using the hashtag blackout black friday, hands up, don't spend and not one dime. >> some demonstrations in the bay area began last night. they posted these clips online of protesters inside as well as outside of a target store. some people living in ferguson are spending this thanksgiving weekend trying to repair their

my grandkids bought this nest learning thermostat. programs itself... connects to their precious phones. i don't like it. being cold builds character.

walking back and forth to the thermostat builds leg muscles. when the internets come to life and all these gizmos turn on us, these kids won't be able to run away on those shriveled little calves. will they love their nest thermostat then? i don't think so. the nest learning thermostat. welcome to a more thoughtful home.

a young couple in alabama has quite the engage many story to tell this morning. right as the group to be was asking that big question, he lost his grip on the ring while he was on a bridge overlooking a river. >> i saw it just bounce about three or four slats over and go between two planks. >> it went between those planks and right there into the water below. desperate, he did try to go in to find it but he could not find it and so the next day, he came back with a friend but still had no luck. discouraged, he did go out and by his fiance a new ring. he did go back to the river just to keep on searching. the sheriff's office heard about happened and they brought
