davenport still wet with an inch of rain around the summit. we go in closer to the south bay, some scattered very light showers from campbell, san jose some drizzle, willow glen and toward evergreen. heading upwards in the high are elevations. before you get there 680 and 880 toward milpitas. very wet roads, and it continues to lift into the higher elevations. 237 also very wet. and out toward livermore, brentwood, some scattered light showers. the main activity heading up toward the sacramento valley and i5. from berkeley through marin county, 101, the golden gate bridge, we certainly have wet pave pavement and fog, but the rain has ended. still a few light showers are possible throughout the early morning hours. then by the next tour they are really confined much to the south bay. maybe an isolated shower in the peninsula. then we get into brighter skies, a mostly dry weekend but the north bay excluded from that. i'll explain and then we are talking much more rain in the week ahead. chris. >> we need every drop of the rain, but all the rain

we begin to light up along the shoreline until 3:00 in the afternoon very strong cells from davenport to the san mateo county coastline up through marin and sonoma. it's by the intersection of the road at 121 and 12 where you take a left hand turn to go into the sonoma city hall at broadway. got the road closed out there until this sub sides. rainfall past 24 hours we're saying 1 1/2 inches in san francisco, .69-inch in san jose, san rafael almost 3 inches of rain. that's beginning to creep up to where we had it last thursday, 1 1/2 inches in petaluma and more rain over marin county. tonight the next 24 hours another inch coming down in the south bay with more in the santa cruz mountains. so a rainy day by midday tomorrow develops. wednesday we get lingering thursday. thursday is mostly cloudy skies and then we'll get a break with finally some drying out after a weak system on friday. after all this it looks as if we'll finally go to an extended dry period beginning on saturday. christmas looks dry. >> good. i'd probably cast you as a meteorologist. >> the only reason i said that, too

here is davenport, san jose and scattered activity. boy we had some fog to contend with. highway 1, scotts valley. we still have scattered showers. here is 580. just east of pleasanton. looking at some wet weather. check out the fog in the north bay. you saw it on the golden gate bridge earlier. doing better in the south bay but we co-do have the southerly winds. we had a nice view earlier but the fog and clouds blowing through. it's 58 in san francisco as well as san jose. sop another mild system has been passed and we have yet another one on its heels. most of the activity to the west and scattered showers in the south bay. the low cloud deck here shows it is a pretty great start to the day. half an inch of rain. a little more than that at the airport. not too shaby with four tenths. a quarter of an inch and nearly two inches of rain. so some of these areas picked up some heavier precipitation. we could see more north bay rain tomorrow heavy rain heads our way wednesday, thursday, possibly into the weekend. they picked up nearly four inches of rain. another warm system.

from well up north to santa rosa and guerneville to highway 1, mill valley and along the coast and davenportlight showers but we are look at a dry day. low clouds and high clouds here and morgan hill is 49, and half moon bay is 61. today, ahead of the weather system, we are again for have a mild afternoon with temperatures in the upper 60's and, in fact, starting out mile, 54 in concord and live more is 50 with half moon bay and from sutro tower the clouds showing the bay mostly cloudy this morning with an isolated shower is possible throughout the morning and afternoon showers but overall the bulk of day is dry with sunshine and here comes the half rain, tuesday morning, this time tomorrow and when, the low comes in with more heavy rain and the possibility of thunderstorms and very gusty wind. here is a look at lou -- how far it is for the rest of us at 800 miles and a weak ridge of high pressure so we will take you through the rest of monday which is dry and for tuesday, here we go, at 4:00 be the rain is still offshore and maybe some showers in the santa cruz mountains but that is where w

davenport area. heavy rain in san jose. fairfield as well.tunately for us and for the kids too, having the kids off of school is genius. not -- that was a genius move. the traffic today could have been horrendous -- of course it could have been. 101 closed. 280 closed. numerous problems. i talked to john fowler in san francisco, he said it was weird, downtown san francisco was like a ghost town. thursday afternoon. good move. kids are agreeing. santa rosa showers continues. i wanted you to see the latest commuter model. here is the upshot. push through. here we are at 9:00 p.m. tonight. there is still showers. you get the picture. starting to get breaks here. as we go forward, noon or midnight tonight. you got a back edge. still rain. most of the rain will be to the east of us. lake tahoe, they will get a couple feet of snow. 80 inches at the top -- 8 inches at the top right now but it will start to snow tonight. another foot and a half easy. 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, showers in the area. look at the difference. this morning was the real de

come down near davenport and santa cruz mountains and along the santa cruz county coast line and someoastal water of the golden gate and that is just about it right now. although other areas of this developing offshore but not the end of the written fall. not quite. but close to the end. let's look at our percent of normal rain fall in every location around the bay area as well ahead of the average amount. 10% of the normal written fall of total for this point in the season at sfo 2 67 percent at the field. 241 percent at san jose. in the sierra the total snow pack total are pitiful. the percent of normal state wide 40 percent of last year 31 percent at this point. only 38 percent of normal sne pack at this point in the season. so much more snow is needed. mane while back to the bay area tomorrow. partly cloudy mainly sunny sky. high pressure ranging from upper 50's to near 60 degrees and here's accu-weather 7 day forecast. rain arrives again sunday nightment continue through the day monday and tuesday with rain and showers likely on wednesday and chance of rain again next friday. mig

also around davenport. they are moving to the south and east. we will see these dissipate by the 8:00 hour. not much of a concern because high pressure is building in. but with the high pressure we have a lot of fog around the bay, especially in the north bay. temperatures are chilly. 44, morgan hill, san jose and redwood city. the visibility north of us, check it out. just a quarter mile napa, petaluma. half-mile by the delta, and livermore just a quarter of a mile. so visibility certainly a concern this morning and we will look for that to stay with us. reduced visibility through about 9:00. and by the afternoon partly cloudy skies with a cool day. mid-50s. but notice no rain. about 60 today in oakland. we will talk about our next storm system headed our way by tomorrow night. that's pretty soon. coming up, we will have all the details. chris. >> lisa, thank you. this week's storm did so much damage, especially at one mobile home park and a new homeowner devastated after a huge oak tree crashed on to her house one day after she closed the sall

we have a new stretcher, building a new stretcher in davenport, expansion off hampton and other nice things happening there. >> now, you've also closed some plants that are expensive. i need to know whether alcoa is going to be one of the lowest cost producers of aluminum in the next couple years. since you came in used to be a high cost provider. seems like as you close the expensive ones and move into saudi arabia, that you should become one of the cheapest creators of aluminum in the world. >> well, that's what we're trying to. let's not forget the upstream commodity business is not just aluminum. we're stronger had alumna, a better cost position already in the 30s quarter. we are strong, we have a strong position, we have a good energy position and we're strong when it comes to value on the commodity side which is the cast house. we just restructured the organization. you're right, our strategy has been simple. adding capacity with saudi arabia, lowest costs on the planet and the good news is, i mean we always said by the end of this year we will have not only the smelter running

base jumper ted davenport and his friends are preparing to leap off what they call route 17 of the hotelthe cliff is about half a mile around and it is formed into a "w," if you look at it from afar. so, that's why i named it the w hotel. and that day we were jumping room 817, which is 817 feet. has a really flat takeoff. drive right to the exit point and pretty much just run off the top of this thing. >> let's go! >> ted is a seasoned base jumper, with more than 600 jumps under his belt, not even a number of nasty crashes have deterred his enthusiasm. during jumps, he makes sure to stay focused on his number one priority. >> not dying. challenges of base jumping are to be able to do it successfully and wake up the next day and do it again. incredibly dangerous sport and there are a lot of risks and only experience, safety, and making smart decisions let's you continue on in this sport. >> on this day, ted and his friends believe they have everything figured out. >> we talked about this jump, what we were going to do. >> you're there, you're there. i'm right here. you're right there. >>

and that's not because of the luck of the draw or some lottery in des moines or iowa city or davenport. that's because tom harkin doesn't shy away from his strong beliefs in the rights of humanity in organizing, in collective bargaining rights and when you're willing to stand up day after day, not just in quiet groups in the democratic caucus but when you're willing to stand up on this floor, you're willing to stand up in dubuque and the more conservative parts of southwest iowa and argue for labor rights, you're just saying to the other side bring them on, bring on big money, bring on antilabor forces, expect to have tough elections. that's why tom harkin is my hero and always will be. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: i, too, rise to share a few comments about my colleague tom harkin who has contributed so much to this fight to put rungs on the ladder so ordinary people have a fair shot across america, a fair shot to thrive. and when i first came out here as an intern in 1976, you were already over on the house side -- no, not yet,

but to go to these pancake breakfasts in davenport or whatever, you really have to be president, andnk the knock on jeb was really maybe he does not want it enough, so by doing this now, by doing this early, it is shown as being aggressive and signals that he is serious. the criticism has been though that he does not have a mechanism to capture the e-mail is dresses or the contact information for the people and maybe that speak to the day that he is a little rusty. host: that is interesting because rand paul responded with a google search ad where he did just that, and asking them to send e-mail addresses to his leadership pac. guest: exactly. rand paul very impressive -- very aggressive. you get an ad about common core, attacking jeb bush if you google jeb, and you can sign up for rand paul and his movement, and that is very shrewd, and maybe speaks to the fact that rand paul has been in the fight. host: it's exactly "wall street journal" editorial board is not sure that he has the fire in his belly, as you were saying, and they write that our own concerns with mr. bush or less of a
