. it is wet, windy and gloomy out there. you can see that from our emeryville camera. it's been the case all morning long. there have been moments of relief but keep the umbrella handy today and the rest of the week. thank you for joining us. i'm jessica castro. we have live team coverage of today's storm. we want to begin with meteorologist mike nicco. the rain is less widespread than what we saw this morning, right? >> that's correct, but you'll find a lot of issues left over. that's why we have the team coverage coming up. i downgraded the storm from a

one to a two. it's now light. we're seeing the heaviest and steadiest rain well off to the east. a cold front is coming through bringing local downpours which could cause localized windy conditions and localized flooding. nothing on a wide scale. there's no watches, no warnings, no advisories. winds will switch from the south at 10 to 15 miles an hour to the northwest. here's a look at the downpour on the eastern side of the san mateo bridge. in fact, what we're seeing right there is light to moderate rain coming down at a pretty good clip. now, on live doppler 7 you can see that it's moving all the way up into castro valley, right ainto san ramone. another to head onto the dunbarton bridge. you can see behind the cold front things are quiet, but with the sunshine and cold front, we still have a chance of thunderstorms. the next seven hours, storms move through, and much dryer for the evening commute.

it wasn't easier this morning, was it? >> no. that continues into the midday. i want to take you live to our wiggest issue. we have a sigalert for folks trying to cross the golden gate bridge, southbound 101 at the toll crossing. that's a crash with a truck on the opposite side of the tolls. unfortunately, a major fuel spill involved in this crash as well. they're having environmentalists and caltrans out on the scene. no estimate on when lanes will be reopening. i'll show you what that's doing to the drive. you're jammed for 3 1/2 miles into sausalito. definitely heavy from the north bay. good news. southbound 280 from john daly boulevard, we had a serious crash blocking the two middle lanes that just cleared. same thing for south bay, northbound 101 at 880, moving along well. we had a crash at great merp parkway. that pushed off to the shoulder so residuals are starting to

thin out. back to you. >> thank you. we want to continue team coverage of our storm in the north bay. wayne friedman joins me love from roanoke park. >> reporter: good morning. it's been quite a morning in roanoke park and in sonoma county. i'll back out of the way and show you an evolving situation. this is roanoke parkway expressway east of stoney point road. when we arrived here, the water covered the entire roadway. it's still closed but receding. elsewhere we have other problems. let's show you video from shellville also in sonoma county. highway 121 at highway 12. another of the first places to flood. inevitably, drivers always underestimate the water. it was about one foot deep this morning. more than enough to stal a toyota camera. the driver is okay but wet. at last report, this intersection remained closed. it's going to put a crimp in travel plans for anyone moving between marin and sonoma county

over to napa or napa counties. we'll keep an eye on this. to be safe, check with the highway patrol or try an alternate route. once flooding starts, it returns in a hurry because the ground is saturated. here back at rohnert park speedway. the water is creeping down. we have late news, however. we just picked this up. sonoma county public works is reporting calistoga road is closed between gates road and pette petrified forest road. there's trees, power lines down and a mudslide. if more rain comes, we'll see more of that. wayne friedman, abc7 news. >> thank you. the drive has been difficult this morning, to say the least. the south bay also getting pounded during this morning's commute. i want to go to abc7 news reporter matt keller.

in the santa cruz mountains. the road was blocked in both directions, adding a 15 to 20-minute detour to the morning commute. it takes real dedication to run at 5:45 in the morning, but add in the rain and these three should get a medal for just showing up. susie and marty also get credit for showing up for their workout can this morning. >> we have a neighborhood that has a good hill, and we make like an eight around it to get our cardio. >> reporter: that hill will have to be climbed on a different and dryer day. >> of course we're going to walk. we're just going to walk under the overhangs of the shopping center. >> reporter: just back and forth? >> back and forth. you'll see us about five or six more times today. >> reporter: now, power outages haven't been a major issue this morning, but i just checked the pg&e website. it shows several hundred people without power in san francisco and san mateo. reporting live, matt keller, abc7 news. >> matt, thank you. and delays are horrific right now at sfo because of the
