well, they've spent decades in the community. today, though, is the last day for one longtime castro valley donut shop. you're taking a live look at rudy's donuts, where customers have been lining up for days to show their appreciation for that family run business. >> yeah, beautiful fans for supporting me. [applause] >> and saying goodbye to a

legend this morning. the bay area and the sports world are mourning the passing of baseball great rickey henderson from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> good morning to you. welcome to mornings on two. i'm claudine wong. hi, everyone. >> happy big holiday sunday. we're going to take a live look right out of the gate. take you over to sfo. so far, there are 51 flight delays, three cancellations out at sfo. likely weather related. as you can see, there doesn't look to be a whole bunch of fog there, but some scattered clouds. a little lighter in oakland with just eight delays. in san jose, there are six flight delays and two cancellations as people hit the roads and the skies for the big holiday, which is three days away. >> yeah, 119 million people expected to travel from this weekend through new year's day. that's a lot of people. and yesterday, rosemary, as we bring you in to talk about the forecast, we saw those numbers

at the airport just continue to rise throughout the morning. i saw people posting on social media. they're like, get there early. and really it's so busy. and then you add weather. i know right? >> it's a domino effect as we know. so going to be a little complicated for today as well as the wet weather continues over the bay area off and on, starting out very similar to where we were yesterday morning. just a few scattered showers. it's a soggy start and a beautiful view there into jack london square, where you can see the tree and the palm trees are lit up. must be california. here's a look at storm tracker two, where you can see a wave of rain moved up through earlier this morning, and at this time, a few scattered showers over the santa cruz mountains. we've got some, it looks like, on the inner east bay, heading over towards the sacramento san joaquin valley as well, but with the cloud cover overhead, some of that drizzle and the sprinkles not seen here on the radar as it's falling below the beam, also creating a little bit of fog. half moon bay reporting visibility a quarter mile. if

you're onto the highways early this morning. not only the slick roadways, but be careful. you may experience some fog out there and the winds generally light across the bay area in our hills. still very breezy. middle peak reporting 22mph at this time, temperature wise. very similar to yesterday starting out in the 50s. it's a mild one. 54 san francisco, 50 degrees in walnut creek. and we do remain with the advisory along our coastline for today. the coastal, or i should say the high surf advisory will continue until 4:00. a better look at the current conditions, what you can expect for the rest of the weekend and into the holiday. coming up. >> okay. thank you rosemary. well, sports fans around the world are mourning the death of major league baseball's all time stolen base leader rickey henderson grew up in oakland and spent his childhood sneaking into a's games before the career that cemented his place by many as one of the greatest oakland a's players of all time. >> when you think of me, i would like you to remember that kid

from the inner city that played the game with all his heart and never took the game for granted. >> henderson, rising high and rickey henderson would have turned 66 years of age on christmas day. his family announced his death yesterday, but did not disclose the cause. henderson was homegrown, a graduate of oakland tech. a loss of a baseball legend is the latest. sad news, of course, for a's fans who learned their team is moving out of oakland earlier this year, 2024 is was already a tough year for oakland a's fans, and number 24 is getting taken away from us. the death of rickey henderson is also top of mind for baseball fans at bay area sports bars. one bartender in oakland recalled his close encounter with the baseball legend just a couple of years ago. >> we played pool in that pool table after hours. i told my boss about this today because i was like, you know, it's rickey

henderson. you got to let him play pool after hours. and i actually beat him on that pool table over there. it was really nice. i mean, you wouldn't assume that he was just a mega superstar. >> today, fans are remembering henderson with both affection and reverence. our crew spent a lot of time chatting with fans, and nearly every oakland a's fan we spoke to said they think of rickey henderson as the greatest player to ever wear the green and gold. rickey henderson was a hometown kid. he graduated from oakland tech and was a superstar in three different sports in high school. but his mom gave him some great advice that led to his record breaking career in big league baseball. >> it certainly all worked out. ktvu bailey okaro now looks back at rickey henderson's bay area roots, which set the stage, of course, for that hall of fame career. no contest. >> steals third base, jerks the bag from its moorings. nobody stole more bases. nobody hit more leadoff home runs. nobody celebrated with more flair. and nobody was beloved in the bay

area quite like rickey henderson. >> and all y'all beautiful fans for supporting me. >> he played 24 seasons in the major leagues for nine teams, many of those with the a's. rickey henderson was one of the greatest players to ever grace the baseball field. he had that rare combination of speed, power and swagger. >> grab the shirt. yeah. [music] style. style. >> rickey henderson was born in 1958 on christmas day in chicago, illinois, in the back of an oldsmobile. on the way to the hospital when he was seven, he moved to oakland and as a kid learned to play baseball, batting right handed but throwing with his left. and when he couldn't afford tickets to a's games, he started sneaking into the coliseum. >> you know, we were going out there, maybe just to get a ball. you know, we didn't get a ball or something that they can give us. it was a joyful time for us. >> he graduated from oakland tech high school in 1976, where he played baseball and football, and he was good at both. in fact, he was an all-american

running back and dreamed of playing pro football for the oakland raiders. but his mom told him he'd have a longer career in baseball. so he turned down more than a dozen football scholarships to go pro, signing with the oakland a's right out of high school. >> follow your dream. believe in your dream because dreams do come true. >> henderson was an opposing pitchers nightmare. he could take one deep right field. >> is it going to fall? >> is it going to fall? there it is. there it is. number 3000 for rickey henderson. >> but you couldn't walk him because he'd happily steal second and third. in 1982, he didn't just break the single season record for stolen bases. he shattered it with 130. >> today, i am the greatest of all time. thank you. >> he also holds the mlb records for career stolen bases, runs, unintentional walks and leadoff home runs. he was the american league's mvp in 1990, a member of the 3000 hit club, a two time

world series champion with the a's and blue jays, and ten time all star. in 2009, he was inducted into the baseball hall of fame. in his first year of eligibility. his plaque there reads rickey henderson used the ultimate combination of power and speed to break numerous records. he played in 3081 games and was known as the man of steel. and as rickey said, if my uniform doesn't get dirty, i haven't done anything in the baseball game. >> when you think of me, i would like you to remember that kid from the inner city that played the game with all his heart and never took the game for granted. >> the game, as illustrious as his career, was on the field. the stories about henderson off of it are equally as legendary, and while not all of them ring true, some shockingly are. one day, henderson got a call from the a's finance department asking why he hadn't cashed his $1 million signing bonus. his

answer was simple it was framed on his wall, and he made a childhood promise to himself that if he became a millionaire, he would frame the check. henderson was a man of his word. even after his career with the a's came to an end, henderson continued to be involved with the franchise, stopping by on game days to meet with players and say hey to fans. before the a's played their final home game in oakland back in late september, it was rickey henderson and dave stewart tossing out the ceremonial first pitches. thank you rickey. just a few days earlier, henderson's daughter threw out the first pitch before a game against the yankees, and rickey was there behind home plate. and that ballpark that felt like home, surrounded by blood and baseball family to catch the pitch. henderson was 65 years old. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you, bailey, and we'll have much more on rickey henderson throughout the morning. you can also download the fox local app on your smart tv and your smartphone to stay

on top of the very latest news. >> time now is 709 and some big news just in time for the holidays. striking hyatt hotel workers in san francisco have now unanimously approved an agreement with the hotel chain, and that ends the strike for 1000 workers at the grand hyatt. the hyatt telling the chronicle that the agreement includes competitive wages and comprehensive health coverage. and it comes just days after marriott workers reached an agreement with their employer. however, 650 workers are still on the picket line at the city's largest hotel, the hilton san francisco union square, and workers at hilton park, 55, have already authorized a strike. thousands of amazon delivery drivers across the country remain on strike this morning, just three days before christmas. this labor dispute is affecting amazon delivery hubs in more than a dozen major cities, including san francisco. the workers on the picket lines are demanding better pay and benefits. however, amazon contends the striking workers are contractors, not amazon employees, and the company says

it sees no reason to meet with them at the bargaining table. >> first of all, there is no strike because there are no amazon employees or drivers who are involved in this activity. what we have is a protest that has been created and manufactured by the teamsters to make a point. >> starbucks workers are also on strike in a walkout that could affect hundreds of stores nationwide by christmas eve. one labor expert at san francisco state university believes these strikes are taking place now, due to concerns that things could get a lot worse for union workers next month, when president elect trump returns to the white house. [music] the number of respiratory viruses here in california on the rise. a closer look at the state's numbers as we head into the final stretch of the year. all gone. >> yeah. yeah. >> and a beloved east bay donut shop is closing for good. i'm betty yu with the live report from rudy's in castro valley.

pay for health care may lose that money if they don't spend it by the end of the year. so if you do not have any medical or dental bills to pay, here are some of the other qualified ways that you can spend the rest of your fsa account. money. eyeglasses, sunscreen, feminine products and contraceptives, as well as over-the-counter medication and first aid kits. those are also eligible baby monitors and red light therapy masks are fsa eligible to fsa dollars may even be used to cover massages. if you have a doctor's note, it is 721. >> it is a big getaway day here the next couple of days before the holiday and the weather kind of wet out here, although on the east coast they've got snow and i think i was talking to some friends in new england, it's like eight degrees in the greater boston area is relative, right? >> we're okay. >> every time we complain, i'm like, so we could be at single digit minnesota. >> yes. good morning, both of you. i am a little envious. in

fact, we do have some video of the first snowfall in december in years over new york city. how about that accumulation? anywhere from 4 to 5in. and yes, temperatures fell into the teens. but a winter white christmas for folks in new york. gotta love it. my goodness. all right. for us here at home, perhaps not the snow here. we do have rain. we have a little bit of fog as well. if you're heading out to do some last minute shopping, i'll be joining you later. we do have that possibility of a few scattered showers, although most of the rain is expected to hold off as the next storm is still a bit offshore. i'll show you this coming up here in just a moment. first, let's take a step back. anywhere from just a few 107 inch reported in san jose to more than half inch in tiburon. mount diablo, the inner east bay, a little bit more than 2/10 reported there since friday. and we are quiet at the moment with the clouds overhead calling for

scattered showers, a little bit of drizzle out there and in the sierra. no snow just yet. you can see that shade of pink indicating a bit of a rain snow mix at the highest elevations. but lake tahoe is getting rain at the moment. tuesday storm is going to be the colder storm, and you may have trouble getting up over those passes on tuesday. i'll show you there in just a moment. but again, we're waiting for this. this is what will bring us steadier, heavier rain. and it looks like it will come right about sunset for lake county as well as the north bay. 5:00 and we're already seeing it there, so we'll call it late afternoon for you, but the central and south bay, you're going to remain mostly cloudy as you head out the door, maybe for your dinner. that's when things start to change up. here's a look at 8:00. it's now north ba, as well as the central bay. and by 10:00 it's moving into areas over the south bay. so an evening event and then monday looks mainly dry. this is the strongest storm we've been talking about now for a few days. by 6 a.m. on christmas

eve, it is coming down. so if you're traveling, if you do have to work on christmas eve, here's hoping you don't. you are likely to have that joining you as well, but it's a quick moving system. it looks like it's out of here. by tuesday afternoon and evening. we are drying out and we are dry on christmas day as well as hanukkah. this is the storm that is expected to bring some snowfall to the sierra. so if i push you all the way out to tuesday night, wednesday morning, anywhere from a half a foot to a foot of snow for our sierra and for us, we are likely to pick up another inch or so, at least for our wetter spots. temperature wise. it's a mild one out there this morning, 53 degrees in oakland and for the afternoon, similar to yesterday, upper 50s to mid 60s. the extended forecast here mainly dry. just a chance for showers on monday. but by monday night into tuesday. now we're beginning to see that storm move through. we are dry for wednesday right now. thursday we're going to leave in the possibility of wet weather returning back to you.

too bad. it's eight degrees in new york city, so i think we're doing all right. welcome back to ktvu mornings on two. >> i'm frank mallicoat and i'm claudine wong. i think maybe santa would just need rudolph's red nose lighting the way through the fall for years, right? meteorologist. meteorologist. rosemary oroczo you had told us yesterday as that rain was moving into the bay area, that it would be kind of pesky over the weekend. and certainly i think that's that was a pretty good description of it. yesterday would kind of come and go. nothing major, but certainly it does feel like winter is here knocking on all our doors enough to make things just kind of soggy. >> and yes, so the drizzly, scattered showers will continue. good morning both of you. happy sunday everybody. the clouds overhead. and we've got again just a slight possibility of off and on. although coming in this morning i noticed just how mild it is out there. it doesn't feel bad if you are stepping out on those highways. they are slick. and as frank mentioned, we've got a little bit of fog to worry

about. let's check in on the numbers here. most of us are in the 50s. this morning, 51 in livermore, 58 over san jose had some light rainfall during the early morning hours, but at this time mostly cloudy, mainly dry, few sprinkles, perhaps under the radar beam that we just can't see. and when it comes to visibility right along the coastline, half moon bay reporting quarter mile sfo three miles. so not too bad, but it is a little thick in some spots. the winds are generally light this morning. a bit of a breeze in our hills. we have middle peak reporting 22mph. we do continue with the advisory along our coastline for today. if you're thinking about heading in that direction. large breaking waves high surf advisory expires at 4:00 this afternoon. by 4:00 this afternoon, some of us are seeing more of a steady rain. as the next system is coming ashore. i'll have a look at what we can expect for today and into the holiday. coming up. >> see you in a bit. thank you. rosemary. 734 your time. a beloved family run donut shop in the east bay. closing for good

this morning. it's a business that has been a mighty sweet spot in castro valley for decades. ktvu betty yu joins us live from rudy's donut shop, where we just heard from the ladies of the donut shop, and now perhaps some of the patrons as well. good morning. >> good morning frank. i've been speaking with customers all morning long who have been sharing their memories, telling me they've been coming, some of them for 50 plus years. and also since i last spoke with you. we have to report all of the donuts have sold out this morning. there's only a few cup cupcakes, not cupcakes. muffins rather left this morning, but there are a lot of customers that are still here sharing their memories. one of them is wayne torres. good morning to you, wayne. good morning. thank you for having me. of course. what is rudy's mean to you? you you were just telling me you've been coming here for 30 plus years. >> rudy's means that you can come in and get a donut, but also that you're going to know that when you get in here, the

happiness that people have been shared, that their stories hear you, they know your name, they can. they tell you who you are. you know something about them. you're just not a person buying a donut and walking around and then saying, hey, listen, you know, you have a joy with that. and that's the part that's going to be missed, because in castro valley, it's one of the most iconic places. and people come here from all over. they they give their donuts to the church. you know, people come from the church and from the little league teams and things like that and all those stories that goes on here and everybody that they know they will be sorely missed. and angela and gina are the happiest and nicest people you can imagine. for them to be doing this for the years that they have and devoting their time to this type of business is only iconic. >> yeah, angela and gina have poured so much love into this business. and also we talk about family. you've been bringing your son here since he was a baby. >> well, since last 30 years or so, you know, until they moved

to this location. it used to be a drive through dairy. and then they made it into a donut shop. and, i mean, everything can change in a minute when you see, when you go by the boulevard and you see rudy's, you know that you're like, you know what's happening inside that place. >> wayne, thank you so much for sharing those memories with us this morning. >> thank you for having me. enjoy your day. >> thank you. you as well. and so frank and claudine again, they're sold out. but so many people, long time customers have been coming by just to give their final goodbyes to the workers and also to the owners, angela and gina. there's also a memory book that folks can sign in the memory book. one of them at least, is already full, and that is just a sign of how much this place is loved in this community. guys, back to you in the studio. >> there's something about going to a place where people know your name and your story. thanks so much, betty. well, this morning, fans are mourning the loss of rickey henderson, the man considered the greatest oakland a's player of all time.

his family announced his death yesterday, and while they did not say what caused his death, they did thank the staff at ucsf for caring for him. henderson graduated from oakland tech. he played 25 seasons in the big leagues during his record breaking career, 14 of those with the a's. he is widely viewed as the greatest oakland a's player of all time. he holds the mlb record for career stolen bases, runs, unintentional walks, and lead off home runs. he played in 3081 games and was known as the man of steel. in 2009, he was inducted into the baseball hall of fame. in his first year of eligibility, and said during that speech that he wanted to be remembered as a kid from the city who played the game with heart and never took the game for granted. recently, he sat down with ktvu andre senior to talk about the a's leaving oakland, and today his words might bring comfort to those mourning his loss. >> we can get sad and

disappointed about what's going on, but we need to really just try to think about all the great times that we had, all the memories that, you know, the sports team brought to here, rickey henderson would have turned 66 years old on christmas day. >> i covered him more when he was a new york yankee, and he actually had a cup of coffee with the red sox and kind of galvanized the locker room because he was a superstar later on, because he played for ten different teams, four stints with the oakland a's, he kept coming back to oakland. but as a kid growing up in the east bay and in the 70s when he started, i was in college. and i mean, there was no one better and i think better. >> i think for oakland a's fans, too, especially if you remember the heydays of the, you know, 80s and 90s and just really at that time, it was such a special time for oakland a's fans and he was such a special player. and so certainly, i think for all of us, there's all these memories. and i think that's what people are kind of leaning back on in this, this really special time

and really so unexpected to lose him this early. >> i know, yes. and wow, his birthday on christmas day. >> think about it. 130 steals in one season. so he turned 130 singles into doubles. i mean, when he got up, you didn't. you didn't leave your seat. if rickey was going to, you know, bat in that inning, it was a good thing. >> well, and, you know, i mean, the love of the game that he continued to talk about through the years, that was very special to i mean, it was exciting to watch him play, but also the reverence he had for the game. and we kept coming back to oakland, how he was someone you could just cheer for. and certainly, you know, our thoughts are with the henderson family. i mean, coming up and having this this player from the town in oakland tech, he is really, you know, kind of this homegrown space of someone who had the dream and lived the dream. >> yeah. >> truly an oakland a and he touched so many lives coming in this morning. our security guard, you know, had a story of him, one of his best friends who played ball with him. i had the opportunity to meet him just one time, going up in an elevator on my way to an oakland raiders

game. so, yeah, of course. got a selfie, no doubt. but yes, he will be missed. giving you a view here over the bay or golden gate as we transition to what is in store for weather today, we are looking at mostly cloudy skies. still a little bit soggy out there this morning. we do have another storm moving ashore later this afternoon into the evening hours. so between now and then we're going to call for just sprinkles and drizzle and cloudy conditions again. temperatures this morning in the 50s. we'll have a better look at those numbers here. coming up here's a look at what we're seeing out there. very quiet. although with all that moisture overhead in the clouds we are likely to have sprinkles and a little bit of drizzle falling below the radar beam. we've got rain in the sierra. no advisory for travel, at least not today. that could change as we roll into christmas eve. storm tracker two here, showing you the system that will again bring us the next round of widespread rain. it looks like by 5:00 in

the afternoon, it is already over lake county. the north bay six seven 8:00 is moving into the central bay. if you have evening plans out to dinner, doing some shopping, and then between 9 and 11, moving into the south bay so you will get it last during the late night hours. and then monday right now looks mainly dry. this is what we are looking at for tuesday at least the first half of the day. the strongest storm of the last we have seen and expected to bring us snow into the sierra. so this is where we may again have impact to travel up over i-80, as well as 50 anywhere from half foot to a foot of snow. the projection right now for the sierra and up to an inch or so for us, maybe even an inch and a half for the north bay. temperature wise, again, very mild out there. half moon bay at 5551 for the inner east bay of concord. as we get into the afternoon, temperatures will range from low to mid to upper 60s. so it's going to be a

relatively mild one. on monday we'll call for just a chance. mainly dry weather. tuesday looks to be a bit of a soaker. it moves out. we are dry on christmas day as well as hanukkah, wednesday, thursday. a chance for rain returns back to you. >> thank you rosemary. tis the season for electronic gifts and. but how do you get kids off their screens for the holidays? next, a conversation with a local pediatrician with some important and ver althy [ding] [upbeat music] ♪ yeah, baby, i like it like that ♪ ♪ i like it like that, i like it like that ♪ ♪ yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh ♪ take that up a little bit higher. you should feel that,, like, right back here. oh, yeah, i felt that! good, that is so much better than last week. thanks, i've been doing 'em every night while i'm watching tv. - oh, what are you watching? it's a mystery. high quality care that meets you where you are.

the oval office. >> time now is 746. a child's brain develops rather quickly 1 million neural connections per second from birth up to age three. by age three, most toddler brains are already hardwired, so it's vital to introduce them to information that will provide a strong building block for a successful, and of course, a happy life. doctor kendra mcneil is a pediatrician at kaiser east bay. i spoke to her about tablets and phones and how to ease electronics into a child's life, and some alternative holiday toys that will help promote creativity and an imagination. >> absolutely. so the toddler and infant stage are so important for child's brain growth and development, as well as their social and emotional development. and so those are times when you really want to make sure that you're maximizing interacting and engaging with young children just to really help them in those social and emotional brain development phases. >> how about the side effects to too much screen time? what are

they? >> so what we've seen, unfortunately, is that some of the side effects that are adverse to too much screen time include a delay in social development, as well as a delay in language, which is curious because a lot of times parents feel as though exposing children early to some of these shows and screens actually improves their language, but it does the opposite. so it delays language skills because of the lack of interaction and engagement. and then for older children, too much screen time can actually lead to social isolation and depression and impulsivity with their behavior. >> well, it's one thing to have a phone or a laptop or a computer, but how about gaming? is it the same with that? >> yes. so it's definitely the same with gaming in particular games that do have some violent content. and so those children who are exposed to games with violent content do exhibit more aggressive and violent behavior towards peers and towards others that they engage with. >> so while we're all shopping for the holidays and you want to

give a gift to a toddler or a young child that is going to, you know, open up their imagination, what do you recommend? >> yeah. so holiday time is a really great time to be able to give a young child something that is going to help to expand their horizons and something that's going to help them to engage with the environment that's around them, and the caregivers and parents and family members who are around them. so kind of going back to basics like books, puzzles, board games for younger children that are age appropriate balls, frisbees, all types of different things that children can actually, tangibly put their hands on and that they can engage with with you and play with these things with you. this is really an optimal gift for a young child or a toddler. >> i know as a kid it was all about building blocks, lincoln logs, tinker toys. i imagine those are good as well. >> absolutely, absolutely. because with those type of building blocks or toys that they can kind of make something on their own. the possibilities

are really limitless. >> and i bet their self-esteem comes up because you've created something as opposed to, you know, passively watch something. >> exactly, exactly. so positive impacts to the self-esteem come in when you help your child to build something or make something, and then they look towards you to see what your reaction is and what your response is to what it is that they've made. and then you're able to give them that positive reinforcement and tell them what a great job they did and help them to move along to build the next thing. so again, those are things that would be lost if a child was just looking at a screen and looking towards a character or looking towards the moderator on a show who's maybe pausing for engagement, but it's not going to be the same as that one on one. >> well, i think screen time things, computers, phones, they're here to stay. so how much is too much? screen time. take us through the ages up to maybe a 6 or 7 year old. >> yeah. so the american academy of pediatrics has actually modified the screen time guidelines because of the fact

that, as you mentioned, screens are here to stay. so we want to make sure that parents and caregivers have good tools and guidelines to utilize at different ages. so for children 18 months and younger, the american academy of pediatrics actually recommends no screen time whatsoever, with the exception of video chatting with family members or friends, because they can actually engage in real time. for children who are 18 months to about 2 to 3 years old, there's a minimum amount of screen time that is permitted or, you know, that is recommended. but we recommend co-watching with the child. so not just plopping them in front of the screen or the tablet, but watch with them. so then that way you can still continue to engage with them and then reteach those lessons that they're learning from from the show or from the game or whatever it is that they're doing for children once they hit preschool age. and, you know, let's say early school, kindergarten, first grade five and six year olds. so again, we recommend doing the co-watching with the children, continuing to engage with them with lessons that are being taught, and then also very carefully monitoring the content for violence for,

you know, things that are not appropriate, things that might be scary and interfere with sleep. the other important thing is making sure that children are not engaging with screens right before bedtime, because that can lead to nightmares that can lead to trouble with initiation of sleep and being able to stay asleep. and that's a really important part of their growth and development, is making sure that they have enough sleep through the evening. >> i think as big kids can learn from that too. yes. >> absolutely. >> well, doctor mcneil, with kaiser permanente in the east bay, thank you so much for your thoughts and have a great holiday. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having me. you have a great holiday to. >> these are the devil. >> as you hold yours. >> i know, don't you love that little app that comes up screen time for this week? 6.5 hours. like, really? >> yes. well, i think that's. >> i think that's why they have it. so that it just reminds us that we can put it down, put it away, and try to take some time

to enjoy the winter weather. rosemary that is outside. but there is something to sitting in, in silence and to just take it all in on a fire. >> that's why they call it the present, right? it's a gift. and we need to, of course, appreciate it. good morning. happy sunday to all of you. appreciating what you have indoors. a nice, cozy, warm weather outside. not too bad. we do have mostly cloudy skies. the next system still offshore will come in tonight. the futurecast model between 5 and 11:00. this is what we do. expect areas over the north bay favored once again inner east bay, south bay, maybe a few sprinkles. not even much in the way of accumulation by tonight. so it will be an evening event, but it looks fairly weak, similar to what we experienced yesterday. we do have a high surf advisory that continues until 4:00 this afternoon for the entire coastline, only to be replaced by a high surf warning. and this

will go until tuesday noontime, breaking waves 30 to 35ft. some of those favorite spots, like mavericks, could reach 40ft. so a huge event coming to our coastline and it will be very hazardous between now and then. temperature wise again, a mild start. most of us in the 50s this morning and for the afternoon, upper 50s to upper 60s. extended forecast we are going to be mainly dry on monday. tuesday looks like a wet one, but we are dry. christmas day as well as hanukkah. another chance for rain on thursday. a better look at the timeline with the futurecast model coming up. >> all right. thank you. rosemary. well, it was an exciting day in college football. more on the four teams that have earned a spot in the quarterfinals.

sunset. for parts of the bay area, visibility could be an issue for some. this morning we're seeing a low visibility right around half moon bay. sfo has kind of been stuck at about three miles, so not too bad. once we get below two miles mile and a half, that's when it becomes of course thicker and harder to see. the winds are calm at half moon bay, calm san jose, but breezy, and our hills anywhere from 10 to 20mph reported. mount saint helena 15. oakland south right now ten. we have a high surf advisory that continues until 4:00 this afternoon. and now a high surf warning that will replace it starting at 4:00 this afternoon. a better detail on this advisory, plus what we can expect for today as well as into the holiday coming up. >> thank you rosemary. it has been a very sweet stop in castro valley now for years. but today a beloved donut shop is closing its doors after 60 plus years in business. rudy's donut house is a favorite for locals, and on

this final day, they are expecting huge crowds for the big goodbye ktvu betty yu joins us at rudy's for more. did you did you sneak a donut yet? >> you know what, frank? all the donuts were sold out by about 730. take a look at the two display cases. hundreds of donuts were made in the last couple of hours, and they're all gone so early. bird really does get the donut. however, my photographer did get a few, so maybe after this morning i'll try and sneak a bite from him. but bob carter, you've been sitting here all morning. you did get your hands on some donuts, as you've done for many, many years. good morning. >> good morning. >> so, frank and claudine, i have to mention this first. bob, today brought $0.35, symbolic of how much it used to cost you to buy two donuts and hot chocolate. >> that's correct. >> and now today, did you buy your same order? >> i bought my same order today.

yeah. how much did it cost? i think it was like 575 today. >> not too bad. still reasonable right? >> yes. >> so this was a part of your paper boy route. you were telling me since you were 13 years old. yes. how do you reflect on all these decades? >> oh, it's been wonderful here. i used to come here, and i come here 6:00 every morning for my paper route. this is my. i pick up my papers. this is my first stop. and the camaraderie of everybody here was just wonderful. >> you know, we should mention that the owners, gina and angela, they're sisters. they're choosing to retire after many, many years of hard work. and today they've really been spending time with the community. we've seen a lot of people come in just to take some photos. what will you miss the most about this place? >> oh, it's well, you can see by the love of all the people that have been here. it's not just today too. it's the last couple of weeks. they've been selling out by 7:00 every morning. it's just. it's been a wonderful community gathering. >> it really has. and people are

and it comes just days after marriott workers reached an agreement with their employer. however, 650 workers are still on the picket lines at the city's largest hotel in the hilton san francisco union square, and workers at hilton park, 55, have already authorized a strike. thousands of amazon delivery drivers across the country remain on strike this morning, just three days before christmas. this labor dispute is affecting amazon delivery hubs in more than a dozen major cities, including san francisco. the workers on the picket lines are demanding better pay and benefits. however, amazon contends the striking workers are contractors, not employees, and the company says it sees no reason to meet with them at the bargaining table. >> first of all, there is no strike because there are no amazon employees or drivers who are involved in this activity. what we have is a protest that has been created and manufactured by the teamsters to make a point.

>> starbucks workers are also on strike in a walkout that could affect hundreds of stores nationwide by christmas eve. one labor expert at san francisco state university believes these strikes are taking place now due to concerns things could get a lot worse for union workers in the next month. that's when president elect trump returns to the white house. time now. 806. and sports fans around the world are mourning the death this morning of major league baseball's all time stolen base leader. >> they called him a man of steel. rickey henderson grew up in oakland and spent his childhood sneaking into oakland a's games before the career that cemented his place by many as the greatest player of all time. >> when you think of me, i would like you to remember that kid from the inner city that played the game with all his heart and never took the game for granted. >> henderson rides it high. rickey henderson would have turned 66 years old on christmas

day. his family announced his death yesterday, but did not disclose the cause. henderson was homegrown. a graduate out of oakland, tech lost to this baseball legend is the latest sad news, of course, for the a's fans who learned their team was moving out of town earlier this year. >> 2024 is was already a tough year for oakland a's fans, and number 24 is getting taken away from us. >> the death of rickey henderson is also top of mind for baseball fans at bay area sports bars. one bartender in oakland recalled his close encounter with the baseball legend just a few years ago. >> we played pool and that pool table after hours. i told my boss about this today because i was like, you know, it's rickey henderson. you got to let him play pool after hours. and i actually beat him on that pool table over there. he was really nice. i mean, you wouldn't assume that he was just a mega superstar.

>> well, today, fans are remembering henderson with both affection and reverence. our crew spent a lot of time chatting with fans, and nearly every oakland a's fan we spoke to said they think of rickey henderson as the greatest player to ever wear the green and gold. rickey henderson was a hometown kid who graduated from oakland tech. he was a superstar in three different sports in high school, but his mom gave him some great advice that led to his record breaking career in big league baseball. >> imagine him on a football field. ktvu bailey o'carroll has a look back at ricky's bay area roots, which set the stage for a hall of fame baseball career. no contest. >> steals third base, jerks the bag from its moorings. >> nobody stole more bases. nobody hit more leadoff home runs. nobody celebrated with more flair. and nobody was beloved in the bay area quite like rickey henderson. >> and all y'all beautiful fans for supporting me. [applause] >> he played 24 seasons in the

major leagues for nine teams, many of those with the a's. rickey henderson was one of the greatest players to ever grace the baseball field. he had that rare combination of speed, power and swagger. >> grab the shirt. yeah. style. style. >> rickey henderson was born in 1958 on christmas day in chicago, illinois, in the back of an oldsmobile. on the way to the hospital when he was seven, he moved to oakland and as a kid learned to play baseball, batting right handed but throwing with his left. and when he couldn't afford tickets to a's games, he started sneaking into the coliseum. >> you know, we were going out there, maybe just to get a ball. you know, we didn't get a ball or something they didn't give us. it was a joyful time for us. >> he graduated from oakland tech high school in 1976, where he played baseball and football, and he was good at both. [music] in fact, he was an all-american running back and dreamed of playing pro football for the oakland raiders. but his mom told him he'd have a longer career in baseball. so he turned down more than a dozen football

scholarships to go pro, signing with the oakland a's right out of high school. >> follow your dream. believe in your dream because dreams do come true. >> henderson was an opposing pitchers nightmare. he could take one deep right field. >> is it going to fall? is it going to fall? >> there it is. there it is. number 3000 for rickey henderson. >> but you couldn't walk him because he'd happily steal second and third. in 1982, he didn't just break the single season record for stolen bases. he shattered it with 130. >> today, i am the greatest of all time. thank you. >> he also holds the mlb records for career stolen bases, runs, unintentional walks and leadoff home runs. he was the american league's mvp in 1990, a member of the 3000 hit club, a two time world series champion with the a's and blue jays, and ten time all star. in 2009, he was inducted into the baseball hall

of fame. in his first year of eligibility. his plaque there reads rickey henderson used the ultimate combination of power and speed to break numerous records. he played in 3081 games and was known as the man of steel. and as rickey said, if my uniform doesn't get dirty, i haven't done anything in the baseball game. >> when you think of me, i would like you to remember that kid from the inner city that played the game with all his heart and never took the game for granted. >> the game, as illustrious as his career, was on the field. the stories about henderson off of it are equally as legendary, and while not all of them ring true, some shockingly are. one day, henderson got a call from the a's finance department asking why he hadn't cashed his $1 million signing bonus. his answer was simple it was framed on his wall, and he made a childhood promise to himself that if he became a millionaire, he would frame the check.

henderson was a man of his word. [music] even after his career with the a's came to an end, henderson continued to be involved with the franchise, stopping by on game days to meet with players and say hey to fans. before the a's played their final home game in oakland back in late september, it was rickey henderson and dave stewart tossing out the ceremonial first pitches. thank you rickey. just a few days earlier, henderson's daughter threw out the first pitch before a game against the yankees, and rickey was there behind home plate. and that ballpark that felt like home, surrounded by blood and baseball family to catch the pitch. henderson was 65 years old. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu fox two news. >> and we'll have more on rickie throughout the morning. you can also download the fox local app on your smart tv and your smartphone to stay on top of the very latest news, including the late breaking. henderson. >> the number of respiratory

viruses here in california are on the rise. a closer look at the state's numbers as we head into the final stretch of the year. >> and over the bay area this morning, cloudy skies and foggy conditions for some. we'll check in on the current visibilities and what you can expect for today before the next torm arrives.

after they were shot down at sea, and what the military is calling an apparent friendly fire incident. both pilots were aboard a single f-18 fighter jet flying over the red sea this morning. military officials say an american guided missile mistakenly fired on the fighter jet. navy pilots were taking part in actions against iran backed yemen's houthi rebels at the time. military officials say one of the pilots suffered some minor injuries. the other is doing just fine. >> new numbers into the newsroom show respiratory virus activity in the state is on the rise. the state department of health posted its latest weekly report last night from december 8th to december 14th. positive flu tests are up 13%. rsv is up nearly 8%. covid activity is relatively low, just 2% higher

than the week before. the department says many californians who should receive a flu vaccine have not gotten one yet. >> 817. a check of weather. the all important forecast is. christmas is looming. >> yes. and it's going to be wet on christmas eve, followed by dry weather on christmas day. i'll show you that. coming up. giving you a look here at the last 48 hours, anywhere from a few one hundredths of an inch of rainfall over the south bay to more than half an inch. tiburon. we've had some a good amount in the santa cruz mountains, ben lomond, and at this time mainly dry. mostly cloudy. rain still falling over areas of lake tahoe with no advisories for travel today. if you're heading up along i-80 50. here's a look at the next system. if we time it out for you with the futurecast model here, it takes until about 5:00 or so before it's moving into the north bay, and then it will march across the bay during the evening hours. by tuesday

night, when the next system rolls through, we're looking at anywhere from a quarter inch to an inch and a half of rainfall. so this is between now and the end of a christmas eve evening. and for the sierra finally going to pick up some snow anywhere from a half foot to a foot of snow. once this moves ashore, we will have soggy conditions into the evening hours, and we could still have a few sprinkles out there during the day, but you can see here takes until 5:00 before the next storm comes in. and then we look mainly dry on monday before the wettest of all the systems rolls in on christmas eve. by christmas day we are dry once again. we do have a high surf advisory that goes until 4:00, followed by a high surf warning that will go until tuesday. meanwhile, we will continue with mild conditions for today in the 50s upper 50s to upper 60s for your afternoon and your extended forecast here, showing you temperatures will be a little bit cooler with dry conditions

no playoffs, you know. we're playing three good teams to finish this year off. and honestly i want to finish strong heading into next season. you know because that carry over is real is the fact that it is 49ers playing out string. >> they sit at six and eight and said rock bottom last in the nfc west. far cry from a so-called super bowl favorite. the niners will face miami today in week 16. three more games to play. so what lies ahead for this injury riddled team that has a huge contract looming with their quarterback brock purdy? let's climb inside the huddle on this sunday and get the scoop from rob stats. guerrera with the gold standard podcast. how are you? rob, you got your voice back. >> oh, it's coming back just in time for the final three games. >> that a baby? okay. good news. well, let's start with purdy and that contract. his agent floating some rather big numbers out there. honestly, can the niners afford to pay brock 50 to 60 million bucks a season and still be able to field a super bowl contender, that they can

find ways to fit it under the salary cap. >> but once you do that, you're playing the game on difficult mode. essentially, you have to really crush your drafts, because what that does is it makes it harder to acquire talent, and the draft is the way to acquire cheap talent. so you really have to start nailing your draft classes. once you pay your quarterback top dollar. last year's draft class was excellent. the niners are going to need more of that if they do end up paying brock purdy 50 to $60 million a year, which i believe they will. >> speaking of contracts, dre greenlaw is a free agent this year. will we see him play the final three games much coming off that achilles injury? is he worth the big dollar deal? >> well, that's the big question. we don't know how much he's going to physically be able to do. he took himself out of the rams game in the second half essentially because he didn't feel quite right. he really kind of has to prove it to himself, prove it to the niners and really the rest of the league because he's a free agent, that he's going to be healthy enough to go in 2025. if he is, the 40

niners should definitely resign dre greenlaw. not only is he an incredible linebacker who really improves their defense, but he's also the heart and soul of this defense. he's the physical presence in the middle of the field. not really fred warner. it's more dre greenlaw who brings that attitude to this defense. so i would love to see greenlaw back with san francisco next year. >> yeah i know he missed the whole season. plays one half of football and leads them in tackles. and that seattle game. how about christian mccaffrey tendonitis in his achilles. he's done for the year. and that's got to be a huge concern for next year. he only played in four games this year not a touchdown in the bunch. >> yeah. if you had told me that that's what was going to happen with christian mccaffrey, i never would have believed you. but that's the situation right now. and look, he's an older running back. he keeps himself in phenomenal shape. obviously the injury that he had against the bills was not related to his achilles in any way. so that is good. but i think the question is can christian mccaffrey find a way to train in the off

season, but not overtrain? because i think that's where he got himself into trouble this year. by his own admission, he did too much. so he needs to find a way to throttle back, but also keep himself in good enough shape to be able to hold up throughout an entire season. >> and let's talk deebo and brandon aiyuk. throw in mccaffrey again. those three scored 40 touchdowns combined last year. this year two in the entire bunch. do they need another wide receiver. >> well it'd be nice to know if ricky pearsall and jacob cowing could play. i mean that's definitely something i'm keeping my eye on in these last three games because in theory, they shouldn't need another wide receiver, or at least the receiver that they need should already be on the roster between ricky pearsall and jacob cowing. the problem is, ricky pearsall hasn't caught more than one pass in a game since november, and poor jacob cowing hasn't even gotten a single target since his 50 yard reception against the chiefs earlier this year. so i think job one for the 49ers in these last three games is get 14

the ball, get number 19, the ball, see if they can play because if they can, if you're confident in that in 2025, that's one huge check mark you can put on your off season shopping list. >> all right. we're up against it. rob, how do we find your podcast? >> check out gold standard 49ers wherever you get your audio podcast or just search gold standard 49ers on youtube. >> all right. you're the man. thank you so much for your time. happy holidays. stay with ktvu for the gmc weekend show. it's coming up at 830. fox pregame at 9:00 49ers dolphin game starts at 105. a lot of football. you're unwrapping your gifts. >> everything is very, very busy. we're going to go jump over to ktvu. plus at 9:00 this morning. we're going to take a break now for the gmc show.

>> still got a chance. what is it like? less than one, less than 1%. >> so you're saying there's a chance the odds might be better of hitting the lottery than the 40 niners making the playoffs this year? but there's still plenty to be motivated about with three games left to play. >> good thing for me is that i don't have to do this contract that's not on me, and that's on the organization and the guys on the other side of the on the other side of the aisle. >> and it's payday time for quarterback brock
