support, the fan support department, who are able to secure a courtesy refund from the event organizer. two days later, a full $1273 refund landed in sharon's account. what a nice surprise. but we disagree with ticketmaster's courtesy refund take. here's why. the california business and professions code says you can get your money back when any california event is cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled. you can find it here anytime of year, section 22507. whenever you're battling for a concert ticket refund, remember 22507, such a lovely place. it will probably put a smile on your face. if that doesn't do it, our eagle-eyed flock will give you case a glance. go to nbcbayarea.com. or call us, 888-996-tips. back over to you two. >> my friend, the concert, he had tickets to the concert like, what, 18 months ago. they postponed it twice. not everybody can make the date. a refund is definitely necessary

good samaritans stepped in to lift a car off of a 14-year-old boy before it crushed him. you see the commotion there. a tv crew was filming a show just a block away. they jumped into action. police say the driver of an suv lost control, hit another car before slamming into the boy who happened to be walking his dog. at least a dozen people, including an actor, lifted that car off of him. >> we were a little nervous because, like, afraid if we lifted it and god forbid it falls on him or if it was attached to a part of his body. i think god put us there. that's how i feel personally. i think we were there for a reason. that's my belief. >> well done. that boy is expected to survive. >> thank goodness. >> let's get a check of our forecast, after a rainy, chilly start, things are warming up during the day, for sure. >> been pretty nice, and you can see in our forecast here, as we head through tomorrow, we're going to start it off mostly clear and also cold, so as i have been saying, sweater

weather in effect. check it out in the south bay. down to 49 degrees under the sunny skies. peninsula, 51. tri-valley also at 48. we're coming in with more of those 40s over the north bay. san francisco at 52. and the east bay, 49. let me show you how things are playing out in the overall pattern because i know a lot of you really want more rainfall. i do have more good news on that here coming up in a little bit when we update you on the reservoirs. let me show you why we're not getting rainfall now. you can see on this wide pacific view of the satellite loop, take a second and look at it as it loops around and you can see here how the clouds are arcing. that's the storm track ridging off to the north. we're getting the rainfall over washington and oregon, but it's not in the cards for us the way things are setting up right now. zee this ridge of high pressure, we showed you the clouds ridging off to the north. it helps to displace that storm track and move it off to the north. so i think really as we head through this weekend, we're looking at more dry and also mild weather coming our way.

so that's the reason we can't get the rainfall, but hey, if we can't get it, at least we have some beautiful weather comin we tomorrow. let me show you what that's going to look like. light winds across the south bay. 72 in cupertino. morgan hill, 73. let's bring it over to the east bay, contra costa, alameda county, up to 74 in antioch. 72 in pleasanton. hayward, 70. not quite mid 70s along the peninsula. 72 in palo alto. san francisco, going up as warm as 68 in the mission. and through the north bay, have 73 here in clear lake and 74 in sonoma. looking good, really like this all the way through this upcoming weekend. a lot of you are concerned about the rainfall. i wanted to do two things here. update us on the reservoirs and then i'll show you what i'm thinking about some rainfall chances ahead. yes, we're still holding on to rainfall chances ahead. reservoirs, we have made huge headway, about a 20% improvement across the north bay since those october storms. 53.2% full. still a lot of work to be done,

but that's good. east bay reservoirs, 72% full. it's down in the south bay we're really hurting. only 11.5%, coyote, 19.5%. we have to get more rainfall in here. and here's what i'm seeing now. next possibility, that's just kind of starting to come into focus, could be right around thanksgiving, from the 23rd into the 26th. only showing about a half inch, but we'll know more as we get closer. also december, early to mid december, a moderate storm system, mare an inch or more moving our way. not all hope is lost. we're still looking good as we head through the next several weeks. right here in san francisco, dry over the next seven days. 60s for daytime highs. looking good on veterans day, 73 tomorrow and hold the low 70s all the way through this upcoming weekend. so we don't have to feel too guilty about this with those rain chances coming our way next several weeks. >> that's picture perfect. >> it is. >> so good. >> it is nice. thanks.
