A favorite TV show returns, heavy rain heads towards SF, and more news from the past week. 

Gilmore Girls to Return on Netflix, LAist

Gilmore Girls, which ran for seven seasons between 2000 and 2007, may be returning, thanks to streaming platform Neteflix. According to TVLine, "sources confirm that Netflix has closed a deal with Warner Bros. for a limited-series revival" of the show, helmed by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino. There's still a chance you may be as heartbroken as Rory was when (spoiler) Jess fled Stars Hollow, because this isn't a sure thing. They're reportedly still in early negotiations, but it seems hopeful. TVLine's Michael Ausiello was told "all of the major players—most notably Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson—are expected back for the continuation."

El Niño May Hit in Two Weeks, SF Weekly

El Niño is coming whether you’re ready or not—and San Francisco definitely isn’t ready. The first storms of the season could hit as early as two weeks from now. Climate scientists have said El Niño is now "too big to fail," which sounds ominous. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are already warning state regulators about torrential flooding and mudslides. In the Bay Area, you can probably expect heavy rain — which also means BART delays or station closures, flooded houses, and potential blackouts, although, per the Biz Times, PG&E is “ready to respond to winter storms.”

Unable to revive Yahoo's revenue growth on her own, CEO Marissa Mayer is hoping for a little help from her old friends at Google.

Apple Declares it “Impossible” to Unlock Latest iPhones, Reuters

Apple's position was laid out in a brief filed late Monday, after a federal magistrate judge in Brooklyn, New York, sought its input as he weighed a U.S. Justice Department request to force the company to help authorities access a seized iPhone during an investigation. In court papers, Apple said that for the 90 percent of its devices running iOS 8 or higher, granting the Justice Department's request "would be impossible to perform" after it strengthened encryption methods. The feature was adopted in 2014 amid heightened privacy concerns following leaks by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden about NSA surveillance programs.
