It may seem a bit late in response to the actual events, but remember, they had to wait until everyone got back from Thanksgiving break. Good for you kids! Stay warm and have fun.

It will rain all day tomorrow, so they say.

As long as they go single file, boys on one side and girls on the other and they stay on the sidewalk, i'm ok with it.

Don't let the actions of others get to you so much. If you let them make you fed up, they don't win, but you lose. Go about your life without worrying and complaining about what others are doing and be that winner instead.

0-5% chance of rain all day tomorrow according to the latest forecast. Should be good field trip weather for their event. Bring a sweater though kids, just in case.

It will be dark by the time they get there. Not good for photo ops. Good timing for the 5pm news though.... and TV crews do usually have lights.

Bill Cosby did much worse. He raped more than 50 women. If you include black women, the total may exceed 100. Shouldn't there be protests about that too?

Although both cases were examined by the legal system, and no wrongdoing was found, there obviously must have been some. When faced with such a gross miscarriage of justice, it's understandable for an outraged public to hold demonstrations, riot and loot businesses.
Remember all the rioting and looting in Beverly Hills after that OJ verdict?

@Steve
Are you condoning looting Businesses? That is criminal you know, and what about the business owner who bears the brunt of it, even though he has nothing to do with the 'miscarriage of justice'.

Last week there were two days where only 12 hours ahead there was rain forecast for 12-4pm.... both times the rain showed up and was done by 9am

You must have lousy weather sources Sparty.
I don't bank on anything over 48 hours in the future, but once we're in the 24-48 hour window, science has become pretty good at forecasting. Satellite imagery is key as is the direction and speed of the air mass.
Last week they called the drops w/in the hour at my house. The big rains won't come until Thursday. You'll see.

Yep, all clear for the kids parade tonight. As predicted, no rain will dampen their enthusiasm.

Non rain is not a prediction. We have dozens of rain forecasts every year that go north and barely get San Francisco wet. 24-48 hours is still too far off to predict anything.

Of course all those people you can see commenting "yeah right," "I'll believe it when I see it" etc on KPIX, KRON, SFgate, Mercury News, KCBS, KNTV web pages could all be wrong, and you might be the only one who is right.

btw here is the lousy weather source: weather.com. Since they say it will be 100% for sure raining tomorrow between 1pm and 5pm I'm sure it will be raining during that time without any doubt whatsoever guarenteed, will rain for sure no matter what. Because thats less than 24 hours from now, and we're in the "pretty good" range.

Sparty, I simply said the rain would not be an issue yesterday and I was right. There's your prediction, one you questioned it because apparently you had some other info you trusted or distrusted. In the end, the weather gods have put a wry smile on my face this morning as I bask in my correctness.
Sorry not everyone can be right all the time. Maybe your it will be your turn next time.

Well, it happened just as they said. Not sure what your point was, you seem a bit turned around.
