The suit names nine people from the Building Owner and the concert promoter to the city of oakland and the county of alameda.

Well, weve seen some spots around the bay area with some pretty heavy rain throughout the day. Here is a look right now out over the oakland estuary where theres actually some blue skies. Its beautiful. Lets go to rosemary. Quite a day. Really coming down this morning. We had the wind involved, and then even into the afternoon we would see a little bit of a break, but then we would have those brief downpours. Lets take a look at stormtracker 2. As ted mentioned beginning to seat wind down. As we move through the evening it will continue to wind down although not going away completely. We will leave in scattered showers as well as thunderstorms a possibility through tonight and into the overnight hours. Taking a look at the north bay weve got some light rain falling over sonoma, novato, san rafael. If we shift along the peninsula, right around maybe near ocean beach, sliding in towards pacifica. San francisco, hit or miss showers. 280, sliding along the peninsula. As we get into the south baits fairly widespread from palo alto, san jose, and farther south into morgan hill. Santa cruz mountains still reporting rain. East bay, we have scattered showers reported over fremont. Wet roadway, looks like 880 down towards milpitas. Across 580, you are going to find it there. Scattered showers over antioch. Along 680 as well. Lets head to the sierra where snow levels are down about 4500 feet. There is an advisory in place with more snow expected to pile up in the overnight hours. So this is going to be a treacherous drive if you are going in this direction anytime soon. Speaking of the rain and the snow, pretty much the entire state of california seeing this. Take a look at that and those areas circled in orange are where we are experiencing delays, both the bay area and l. A. X. Reporting some delays there. Minneapolis reporting delays as well.

This is considered the busiest travel weekend of the year. Aaa says more than 103 Million People in the u. S. Are expected to drive to their destinations during these last two weeks of the year. Air travel is expected to be up more than 3. 5 compared to last year. In addition to the crowds, passengers should also expect increased security at airports across the country in reaction to recent terror attacks in europe. About eight or nine bomb squad cars when we first pulled in. There was a lot of traffic, and there didnt seem to be any people directing traffic. So it was a little bit chaotic. But once we got past that it was okay. A trade group predict a record 45 million passengers will travel by air from december 16th through january 5th. And the weather is leading to some delays and cancellations at bay area airports as rosemary mentioned, especially sfo. The rain is resulting in several dozen cancellations and delays. An airport spokesperson said theyve had about 49 cancellations. That includes both arrivals and departures. Delays are averaging 45 minutes to an hour, mostly on short flights up and down the west coast. So on a day like today obviously it is a very busy travel day so a lot of the flights are full. So airlines are less likely to cancel because the airplanes are full and they need to run those flights even if they are delayed. Its the holidays. I was kind of expecting it. But my flight did get canceled. They booked another flight. Im on stand by into l. A. X. , different airport, but hopefully that one works out. United is the Largest Domestic Airline at sfo so they have the bulk of the cancellations and delays. Delays may increase as the day goes on so it is always a good idea to check with your airline before you head to the airport. Another thing to could in mind, parking. The lots at sfo are nearly full. Only a few spots left. Airport officials always recommend taking bart, ride sharing services, or public transportation. Todays storm is also impacting some of the most vulnerable in the bay area. Many south bay homeless shelters are bracing for an influx of people. Rain today is forecast to give way to frigid temperatures saturday and on christmas. So capacity at all nine Santa Clara County shelters is being increased by 400 beds through the weekend.

Homeless Services Include a hot meal, a bed for the night, and showers. Additionally, four Warming Centers operated by the city of san jose are open during the overnight hours since the temperature is forecast to drop into the 30s.
