Dont use marsh creek road. Well follow this story and have more coming up. Lets take a look at some of these pictures. Westbound bay bridge, thats backed up for a 25, 30minute delay getting into San Francisco. Also, looking at the commute for the san mateo bridge and that traffic is moderately heavy. If you are driving on the peninsula, it has not been that bad. The south bay is getting back to normal somewhat. We had earlier problems on 101. 101280 and 85 are 101, 208 and 85 are heavy. Lets go back to the desk. A fourth night of protests that started in berkeley ended with more arrests and another shutdown of a major freeway. Hands up dont shoot a large crowd calling for change after Deadly Police involved incidents in new york and missouri gathered in front of city hall. After learning the City Council Meeting had been canceled, protesters headed down telegraph avenue into oakland and part of highway 24 and b. A. R. T. Service was shut down and people made it through a fence and onto the freeway. 13 people were arrested. There were reports of looting and vandalism. You see a fire there in the street in downtown oakland. Alex savidge is live in berkeley with more on the division the protest is causing among city leaders. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning to you. The mayor here in berkeley was worried about protesters taking over this Council Meeting lack night here at city hall. You can see his concerns here, why he has concern. You can see the damage that was done here during a recent demonstration when the front windows were smashed out. And thats why at the last minute, the mayor decided to cancel the meeting. In a statement the mayor said wifes postponed the Council Meeting because Council Chambers that hold 125 people could not accommodate the large turnout expected to attend, estimating 1500 people. Along with the overcrowding issue, they were worried about violence. After word of the cancellation trickled down to demonstrators last night, this was the large crowd that took to the streets of berkeley. Several hundred people held and impromptu meeting outdoors. Thats where a pair of City Council Members blasted the mayor for pushing back this Council Meeting. The mayor thinks he has the power to cancel the meeting and not to listen to you. But the but members of the city council can overrule the mayor. We will be demanding an investigation. We will demanding having the meeting that shouldnt have been canceled tonight. Reporter protesters were planning to attend last nights Council Sessions that soundoff about the recent killings of unarmed black men by police in ferguson and new york. Demonstrators were hoping to raises issue of Excessive Force by raise the issue of Excessive Force by Berkeley Police. Thats something that Council Members say will be investigated. While many Business Owners are frasted by the vandalism thats come along with the recent protests. Theres some stores that are showing support for demonstrators offering them food and water last night. In the meantime, that canceled meeting will be rescheduled. The mayor said a time and place will be announced soon. All right. A story well continue to follow. Thank you. The disruptions are questioning tactics. Some have seen enough. Were tired of other people who have used violent means. The pastors are inviting protesters to work with them to bring about change without resorting to violence or blocking freeways. That includes revisiting the grand jury system and better sensitivity training for Police Officers. 7 10. After days of watching protesters clashing with bay area police, its a different scene in the city of richmond. Yesterday morning, a small group of people held this peaceful rally in richmond. And Richmond Police officers and the police chief, chris magnus, joined them. The police chief held the sign that read black lives matter. The group lined the road for four and a half hours. Thats the amount of time the body of Michael Brown was out on a ferguson, missouri street after he was shot by officer darren wilson. We have a lot of respect for our community. We share a lot of similar concerns. Thats why im glad to see the chief. Here in richmond, hes been instrumental. At one point, police passed out pizza to the protesters. Both sides say richmond has a strong sense of community and they want that to continue. A meeting is set for december 16th in redwood city for the bids for the olympics. The final cities are boston, washington, d. C. , los angeles and San Francisco. The host of the 2024 olympics will be selected in september of 2017. The chairman of the Olympic Committee says San Francisco is probably the city the committee would prefer except for three things. Political tensions within the city, questions about venue and the number of nearby cities that would most likely have to be involved. It seems like its a long time, 2017 but a lot of steps need to happen before that. And there are a lot of pieces you have to pull together. Bay area food bank, they are worried, worried they wont have enough food to feed familys that need it. Why they are coming up short this Holiday Season even the economy is better. Nominees range from taylor swift to vladimir putin. Up next, well reveal who Time Magazine named the person of the year. We have a big problem in contra costa county.

San Francisco Work crews are literally going to great heights to protect homes from tomorrows big storm. We got this close look at the critical work underway on telegraph hill. 150 feet above the ground. Workers are racing against the clock to stabilize the hill before the powerful storm moves in. Telegraph hill has had storm problems for a long time. Traditionally, this was undocumented in the early 1900s, this qar quarry. And they left it in a precarious position. A weaker storm in january caused caused damage. New this morning, Time Magazine Just Announced the person of the year. The winner, the ebola fighters. Time magazine says these doctors, nurses and others who have been treating ebola patients in west africa, they are risking their lives to save others. Time magazine says they are fighting a war using bleach and a prayer. The ebola virus has killed more than 6,000 people in west africa. An american doctor who contracted the ebola virus came to San Francisco telling his story of survival yesterday. Dr. Ian crowser was speaking at ucsf. He voled to go to volunteered to go to west africa to help fight ebola. He took strict precautions, he said and doesnt know how he got infected. He urged support for Health Organizations caring for the sick and wants more research against this deadly disease. This is a villain of a virus that not only kills lots of people but it does it in a way that robs human beings of their dignity. Now, the doctor, he gets tired and suffers from vision problems. His case may help researchers at ucsf who are working on a better treatment, a cure, maybe even a vaccine. That would be great, a vaccine. Want to check in with sal. How is it looking at the back maze. It doesnt look good. Welcome back. The traffic is going to be slow at the bay bridge. Everyone wants to know about the bay bridge. You can see its just getting worse. Im looking around to see if theres anything major on the bridge. I think people want to get on at the same time. There was a collision on the bridge east of Treasure Island but they got it out of the way rather quickly. It was reported before 7 00. Bridge crews were on the way. Less than eight minutes later, i havent heard anything. But obviously something was up there because this doesnt look normal. Lets take a look at the san mateo bridge. Westbound 92 traffic is going to be moderately heavy. Dumbarton bridge traffic according to the road sensors is a little bit busy. Speaking of road sensors lets take a look at san jose. 101, 280 is slow. Im surprised 280 isnt worse. You have a window to get up tonight west valley before it gets worse. Back to steve. And steve, tomorrow morning, some people will have rain but not everybody. Thats correct. Everyone will have the breeze. The wind is beginning to crank up. Dont want to forget areas fog. There is a lot of reports of thick, thick fog. There is even some over the bay. Take a look at the flag down below. Im seeing 15, 25, some of the Higher Elevations look to the north. Everything is beginning to take shape. I get to talk weather. Its been a long time since weve been able to talk about this. Its like a recipe if everything comes together. First of all, theres plenty of moisture well above average for this time of year. We call it an atmospheric river. But atmospheric cloud tapped to hawaii. I was asked why isnt this a Pineapple Express because there is an end to it. The river of air called the jet stream is roaring along. You get up around 20,000 feet, 160, 180 knots that helps to enhance the system. When you get that, you will have strong lift. By that, you enhance the rain rates. You take the moisture, you cool it, you condense it as you lift it. That will ring out a lot of rain. The surface low is the factor. Usually forms off oregon or washington, d. C. This will form off the Northern California coast. Thats the main factor and the water temps to be so far above normal in the 60s this will boost rainfall rates that i think add into convective nature. We saw that with the december 3rd system that came in. Plenty to talk about. Here is your here is your system. Here comes the cold air coming in. There will be multiple waves forming on this system. Whats that . Thats just a change in wind direction on the front. What does it do . It slows the system down. There will be really heavy rain for some. For others, it will be windy. Here is your water temps. 60 degrees. How can that not boost rainfall rates when up get a system like this coming in . It will. Coastal hills, santa cruz mountains, north bay 4 to 8. 2 to 4. 1 to 3, south bay. A lot of high Wind Warnings posted. There will be hurricane strength gust, coast, hills, 50s for some of the lower elevations and the high surf warning. Seas are beginning to build. Thats when the cold air arrives. The sierra, snow level goes up, up, up. I why to get up on my toes. The snow forecast 1, maybe 5 feet. Snow level 6500 feet. By friday, it will get down to 4500 feet. There will be a foot at lake level. The cold air doesnt arrive. By friday night you will feel it. The system will move in. It will stall, it will slow down. There could be heavy rain rates to the north and everyone else is where is it . It will get here. The wind is picking up. Not too crazy. But some of the Higher Elevations, light rain to the north and thats where it will stay for a while. Lets take a look at some of the rain, it will be heaviest to the north and the santa cruz mountains. The gusts will pick up. Here is your timing. 7 00 in the no
