TODAY’S EVENT WAS A CHANCE FOR PARENTS TO COME AND PICK OUT THE GIFTS WITHOUT THE KIDS THERE. ORGANIZERS SAY. IT GIVES PARENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO SURPRISE. THEIR KIDS FOR THE HOLIDAYS. IMAGINE THE RELIEF FOR SO MANY OF THESE FAMILIES WHEN THEY DON’T HAVE TO NO LONGER, SAY, BILLS OR. OR GIFTS. THEY CAN SAY BILLS AND GIFTS. AND MAYBE SOMETHING FOR MYSELF. THAT’S THE TYPE OF IMPACT WE WANT TO MAKE. IT’S KIND OF AWESOME TO HAVE A BACKUP. WHEN SO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR KIDS ARE GOING TO HAVE WHAT THEY DESERVE ON CHRISTMAS. WHETHER YOU’RE FIGHTING TO PAY BILLS OR HAVE THAT EXTRA TO BE ABLE TO PUT TOWARDS PRESENTS, IT’S SUCH A GREAT RESOURCE FOR THE COMMUNITY. THE FAMILIES WERE PRE-SELECTED. THE VOICE OF YOUTH ORGANIZER SAY IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO MAKE A DONATION OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER WITH THE PROGRAM, YOU CAN VISIT THEM ONLINE AT VOICE OF YOUTH.

THOSE WHO DONATED A TOY ALSO GOT A CHANCE TO MEET WITH LOCAL FIRSTRILLIONESPONDERS AND TAKE A PHOTO WITH THE MAN OF THE HOUR, SANTA CLAUS, SPREADING MORE HOLIDAY CHEER TONIGHT. THE WOODLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT IS MAKING SURE FAMILIES IN NEED HAVE GIFTS THIS CHRISTMAS. THE DEPARTMENT TEAMED UP WITH THE SACRAMENTO SHERIFF’S ACTIVITIES LEAGUE AND THE SPARKLE FOUNDATION TO PASS OUT GIFTS TO LOCAL FAMILIES JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. TODAY, THERE WAS A MURAL UNVEILED AT A SPECIAL PLACE FOR CHILDREN IN THE CAPITAL CITY. TAKE A LOOK. THIS WAS THE SCENE AT SAFETYVILLE USA ON BRADSHAW ROAD. THE MURAL WAS SPONSORED BY THE ARNOLD LAW FIRM AND SAFETY CENTER ARTIST DEMETRIUS BEAMER. WASHINGTON HAS PAINTED MORE THAN 90 MURALS ACROSS THE STATE AND SAYS THIS TWO PART MURAL SYMBOLIZE SAFETY, JUSTICE AND FREEDOM IN THE COMMUNITY. ONE PART DEPICTS LADY JUSTICE AND THE OTHER IS A SUPERHERO IMAGE GUIDING CHILDREN THROUGH THE IMPORTANT SAFETY SKILLS. SO THE MORE WE CAN TEACH OUR KIDS, UM, YOU KNOW, HOW TO BE SAFE, HOW TO INTERACT WITH THEIR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC. UM, IT’S SUPER IMPORTANT. THE SAFETY CENTER IS A POPULAR PLACE FOR SCHOOL TOURS. IT’S BUILT LIKE A MINI CITY WHERE CHILDREN LEARN SKILLS LIKE FIRE SAFETY, HOW TO CROSS THE ROAD PROPERLY, AND EVEN STRANGER DANGER. RIGHT NOW, ACTIVE WEATHER MOVING IN ACROSS OUR REGION AND IT IS HERE. SOME AREAS HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO SEE SOME OF THAT RAIN. THIS IS VIDEO FROM TISCORNIA PARK AT THE CONFLUENCE OF THE SACRAMENTO AND AMERICAN RIVERS IN SACRAMENTO. YOU CAN SEE SOME RAIN DROPS DEFINITELY COMING DOWN ON THE WATER. AND LOOK AT THAT. SOME SEA LIONS STICKING THEIR HEADS OUT TO CHECK OUT THE WET WEATHER TOO. HERE’S METEOROLOGIST DIRK VERDOORN WITH WHERE THIS SYSTEM IS NOW AND WHERE IT’S HEADED NEXT. DIRK. YEAH, WE’RE LOOKING AT THIS SYSTEM THAT’S GOING TO STICK AROUND FOR A WHILE BECAUSE WE HAVE JUST THESE, THESE BANDS OF RAIN THAT ARE GOING TO BE WITH US NOW. WE’LL HAVE SOME BREAKS IN BETWEEN, BUT WE HAVE A STEADY FLOW OF THESE SHOWERS WORKING THEIR WAY ACROSS OUR REGION RIGHT NOW. HEAVIEST RAIN MODESTO WE’RE SEEING SOME HEAVIER RAIN THERE. YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU’RE THERE IN MODESTO, STOCKTON HAS BEEN SEEING SOME SHOWERS. SOME OF THE HEAVIER RAIN NOW MOVING OFF TOWARD THE EAST. WE’RE SEEING THESE RAIN SHOWERS ALL THE WAY UP INTO THE NORTH END OF THE VALLEY AND THROUGH THE FOOTHILLS AND ON INTO THE SIERRA HERE FROM BUTTE COUNTY, MOVING INTO PLUMAS COUNTIES, WHERE WE’VE BEEN SEEING SOME OF THAT HEAVIESTRILLIONAINFALL RIGHT NOW. SO WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AS WE GET INTO MONDAY? IT’S GOING TO BE AN IMPACT DAY. AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE WE’RE EXPECTING SOME WETRILLIONOADWAYS. NOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS, I THINK BETWEEN 6 AND 8:00, I DON’T THINK THERE’S GOING TO BE A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN. YEAH, THE ROADS MAY BE WET, BUT THAT’S GOING TO PICK UP AFTER 8:00 IN THE MORNING WINDS. WE ARE GOING TO SEE PERIODS OF WIND STARTING TONIGHT, BUT WE’LL SEE THOSE WINDS THROUGH TOMORROW AND EVEN ON INTO TUESDAY. WE’RE LOOKING AT WIND SPEEDS 15 TO 25MPH. AND THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME THUNDERSTORMS. AND WE’VE SEEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY TODAY. RIGHT NOW, TAKING A LOOK OUTSIDE LIVE LOOK FROM OUR DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO SKY CAMERA. TEMPERATURES RELATIVELY MILD. WE’RE IN THE LOW 50S IN SACRAMENTO, STOCKTON AND MODESTO. LAKE TAHOE ABOVE FREEZING THERE AT 38 DEGREES WINDS. NOT TOO BAD. WE DO HAVE A DOWNSLOPE WIND IN AUBURN CURRENTLY FROM THE EAST AT 21MPH, 16 MILE AN HOUR WIND. CURRENTLY IN PLACERVILLE, 15 IN FAIRFIELD. AND THAT’S WHERE WE’RE SEEING SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS. LET’S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE TIMING, THOUGH, OF THE WINDS AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH TONIGHT. HERE WE ARE, 10 P.M. A BIT OF A NORTH WIND IS EXPECTED. WE’RE LOOKING AT WIND SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO OVER 20MPH INTO THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY AND ON INTO SOLANO COUNTY. THOSE WILL TAPER OFF. AND THEN WE SEE A SHIFT IN THE WINDS AS WE MAKE OUR WAY THROUGH MONDAY. AND THIS IS MONDAY AFTERNOON AT 2 P.M., MORE OF A SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WIND IS BLOWING UP THROUGH THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. SO IT’S KIND OF THE OPPOSITE. AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE WINDS UPWARDS OF BETWEEN. 20 TO 25MPH IN STOCKTON AND MODESTO. SO YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE THOSE WINDS INTO THE NORTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. THEN THEY KIND OF SPREAD THEMSELVES OUT AS WE GO THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. HERE WE ARE, 930, AND WE CAN SEE THOSE WIND SPEEDS AGAIN BETWEEN 15 TO 25MPH UP AND DOWN THE VALLEY. AND THAT MEANS GUSTS ARE GOING TO BE BETWEEN 30 TO 40MPH. STILL SAYING GUSTY ON INTO TUESDAY. THIS IS TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH THOSE SOUTHERL
