station. you're watching the kron. 4 morning far. >> good morning. and get ready to get hit by another round of rain and it is going to be windy as well. this is all going to impact your commute this morning. they're going to be areas there are still trying to clean up from last week's storm and they are going to be in even deeper for sure. and that's why we've got team coverage for you this morning. we're live around the bay. we're going to show what the conditions are like. >> where the rain is falling and where it's heading next. in fact, john is helping direct. our crews got will tran out livermore. we'll get to him in half a minute because there are some road problems out there to unrelated to this morning's rain. we'll find out that john, the forecast. let's get to it. you know what, guys? it's about to be picking up more and more right in the middle of the morning commute. so where will stand and where we already have some existing issues that we're going to see even worse conditions on top of it. >> for a very earliest of risers, basically our overnight commuters. they barely missed it. now what

we're going to be looking at is rainfall increastng here in just moments in this view behind me in san francisco, we're already seeing that rain picking up in areas like the peninsula in the south bay. let's get a look at live right now here on your satellite radar showers moving in from the south. you already see those yellow pockets indicating heavy rain around santa cruz up in the santa cruz mountains. notice that rain is settling in for the peninsula. now. not a lot yet for the rest of the bay area, but it is on its way because showers are moving in a predominantly northeasterly direction. so all that rain going to be pushing up into the north bay into the east bay and into the santa clara valley as well. right now, really the only routes that are super wet just yet is really to 80 there on the peninsula where we are looking at some shower activity, increasing for those of you around cupertino on up to woodside. that stretch right there. starting to get weather right along 2.80, highway. 85 from cupertino down into the south bay. also looking at increasingly wet conditions and just now starting to see

some light showers from san mateo down to santa clara along 101, further north, we are seeing some light showers here and there further north on the peninsula into san francisco, not picking up a whole lot just yet. just know that this rainfall increases in intensity over these next couple of hours and will peak right in the middle of the morning commute. all the energy that you're seeing down there along the monterey bay area is going to transition up our direction. gilroy already seeing it coming down as well. now our temperatures fairly mild this morning. it's 40's to 50's. so no need to layer up too much. it's just the rain jackets in the umbrellas that you've got to focus on. and if it's the umbrellas you choose today, do not be faked. taking them out this afternoon because those winds will be blowing up the straight out of your hands. it may be fairly calm as of right now, but look at where winds are headed this afternoon. areas like half moon bay are going to be seeing 60 miles per hour. plus, wind gusts same for the santa cruz mountains. so we're likely to have some power outages, downed trees in these

areas, especially the peninsula into the south bay breezy elsewhere, but especially windy in these spots and us those deeper or in shoes indicating high wind warnings from the santa cruz mountains all the way through half moon bay, pacifica into daly city in lighter, yellow hues. those are your high wind watches where winds will boost the be gusting as high as 35 miles per hour. as for the afternoon ahead of us, that's when winds pick up. so we're heaviest of rain during the morning. strongest of winds this afternoon and even a chance of thunderstorms in there. it's also going to be rough drive home from work to do so as rain will tell you, we're about to be seeing conditions getting worse in arena. it's right in the middle of the morning commute. so leave early. that's the best piece of a take your time this morning. just like john is telling you and keep that umbrella on hand. >> 7 minute ride into the jity this morning. the san mateo bridge about 12 minutes, a 80 to 101. our richmond center fell bridge could put you at 7 minutes. they are. and if you're taking golden gate bridge about 19 minutes, 37 to the tolls checking. all right here along 2.80, 101,

traveling towards 85. just under 11 minutes. darya. james, back to you. thanks, lauren. a. >> ok? let's get to the east bay. now. we have some lanes of eastbound 5.80, in livermore closed right now because of cracks that appeared in the lanes. yeah. and that's bad news. so a lot of people are going to be affected by this kron. four's will tran is live in livermore with a look at the problem. good morning. well, >> good morning, guys. on cue. raindrops are starting to happen and it just happened about 30 seconds ago and it probably we'll pick up steam and that's not going to help the crews right behind me. we are literally off the freeway. giving you live images of what's going on. you can see the crews here in the overnight hours and the headlights coming right at us. here's the good news. the good news is it's the counter commute directions that is eastbound 5.80, as though you're driving to tracy. let me show you some pictures of what they are get you get a

little bit closer once it gets brighter and i'll show you the cracks on the roadway. they noticed this yesterday and they frenetically tried to clean it up, make the repairs in time for the evening commute. but that did not happen. they believe the cracks happened because of the rain and the mud slide that came after that and they don't want obviously anybody getting out of control with their cars, especially if the roadway gives out. and that's why they're out here trying to get it done. they don't know when they will finish. the hope was yesterday evening. now they're not even putting a timetable. so here's the good news. i already talked about how it's the morning commute. it's the counter commute directions. but come the evening. we will see if they don't finish. skies is going to be horrible, especially when you add the lanes. escuse me the rain that will come in. you can see the barriers out there that they have once the rain comes and it's not done, it will be really backed up.

in fact, yesterday, guys who did not rain in the afternoon and they said traffic was backed up all the way almost to pleasanton. so you've got to be careful about that will monitor the situation, not raining right now. and i got to tell you, not reading too badly. and i got to tell you, james and area, particularly not not sorry about that. >> no hopefully doesn't get too bad for you out there. 5.80, but we'll be watching as the radar moves it closer and closer. meantime, things go from bad to worse for oakland zoo. >> the zoo is closed again today because of this storm and the zoo has not at a full month of open operations this winter because of all the storm-related damage they've had to deal with. kron 4 sarah stinson has the story. >> today is the second time this month the oakland zoo has had to shut down due to the weather and this is on the heels of the zoo repairing damage from the storms we saw in the beginning of the year which shut down zoo for several weeks.

>> seeing this kind of storm, california literally decades and while we need the rain and the drought is seemingly near the it certainly has a huge national impact on this. it. >> the oakland zoo ceo nick to tells me closing the operation down cost $30,000 a day from loss of admission tickets. the zoo is closed all of january after storms at the start of the year caused major damage, including a massive sinkhole that actually cost us over to know all the time it. >> we were covid daytime and night time for our vets and the zoo is still trying to make up for the financial toll caused by covid restrictions during the pandemic. it's been a difficult 3 years and you know, with this economy where it and the failures of the banks that are taking place. >> we just need a little more certainty this time. one thing is for certain for dacia rain

or shine, the animals are being taken care medical staff. >> animal keepers that staff working care of so the animals are going and ride it quite obviously. so. but we would love to see the zoo opened for the. >> people come back. if you're planning a trip, you can expect to see some new attractions last few weeks. we have some new york babies that were born out of you really know, even during star where they are come out you know, see all the animals at the i honestly love seeing people as well. make sure you check the website of the oakland zoo before planning a trip to ensure that they are open. >> and if you have a reservation for today, you'll be automatically refunded. it just takes 3 to 4 days to process. i'm sara stinson reporting the newsroom. back to you. >> and you can follow our storm coverage online scan this qr code. it will take you right to the spot on our web page where we've got all the information on flooding, road

closures, power outages and anything else you need to know. >> all right. also in the headlines this morning, one person is dead and another seriously injured after they were hit on 5, 80 out in livermore. the incident happened about 9.30, sunday night. chp tells us that an altercation of some sort started between an uber driver and a passenger. the driver then took the off-ramp at isabel avenue. exit called 9-1-1 and told the passenger to get out of the car short time later, 2 pedestrians were hit on that off-ramp. now we spoke with chp patrol officer taylor han about what happened. >> most of them were struck by. >> blue honda civic first. and then moments later were struck again by. big personnel is in. goal was. and then the other person as critical injuries or major injuries in critical condition. and we we actually

don't know who that other person is at this time. >> well, officer haas says that the injured person is not in a condition to speak right now. we reached out to uber. they say they're working with law enforcement right now in this investigation. >> time is 509. and another big story that we're following. city leaders plan to address the increase in violent fights at a local shopping center involving big groups of juveniles and >> where is this city? san francisco's what we're talking about? police tell us he's fights are happening. look at this massive fight breaking out in the middle of the stonestown galleria 19th street. that's near san francisco state. this group of kids hitting each other. security guard tries intervene at times, but it's melee. one kidney taken to the hospital serious injuries after being pepper sprayed. san francisco police say they are increasing their security inside and outside of the stonestown mall. but the parents we talked to say they're worried about the safety of their

kids. my son on comfortable. >> i just got out of time. when they all walked in after school, it and i i feel comfortable being in 2 teenage daughters again, not hang out here a lot, but it did to me. >> was in kind of in the face. have to have a conversation about what to look out for to avoid. >> and as a shopper, this make might make you concerned as an adult to go to the stonestown. that's the problem. a spokesperson for supervisor mel gar tells us she plans have a special hearing today during the board of supervisors meeting to come up with some kind of strategies. >> well, in the south bay, san jose police have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering his own father on saturday morning. officers responded to reports of a suspicious death near the intersection of fontaine road and flanagan drive that they say is where officers found the victim who was pronounced dead at the scene investigation led them to the rest of the victim's son. he's now been booked on

homicide charges. the motive and the circumstances surrounding the incident is obviously under investigation. this is san jose 6th homicide of the year. >> 5.11 and we are looking at rain on its way for areas that haven't seen it yet. it is headed in your direction. so don't take those dry roads. as of right now as an excuse to leave late, get on the roads early and definitely play it early and definitely play it safe today. i'm tracking time for downy mcbride to go to work. ya'll gotta sniff this stuff! ♪ woop woop! ♪ whooo! smells great, downy! ♪ ugh, cul de sacs. downy unstopables. you gotta sniff it to believe it.

>> 14 right now and i feel the need for sound effects. i mean, seriously, done feels like another wall of rain getting ready to slam the bay area. guess it already is slammed its upon it. it is. and is a slow mover, a fast mover. these things matter. let's find out. john, what do you think? this one's a very guys, which sounds better, right? but it's because the longer those showers state to move overhead, the worst of an impact they have because they sit with you longer pile up a little bit more of that rainfall and especially going to be an issue along the central coast in the central valley for this storm right here in the bay area. we're at the for this northern stretch of this, but we're going to have a big impact ourselves. so where we're at right now, still really quiet in the east bay. look at this. you think? oh, we're in for a beautiful day, right? well, not so much because this one is work in our direction. let's take a look at the infrared. you can actually see the atmospheric river, the plume of moisture is centered up well to our south. so why is this an issue for the bay area?

>> what we've been looking at, heavy rain already for la on along the central coast, the center of the low pressure that's dragging this moisture up our direction is basically right on top of us. you can see it right here. that's your low pressure that not only stirs up some very impressive winds on the peninsula and the santa cruz mountains today. but funnels all that moisture from the south right up here into the bay area. and this is what's dragging that moisture our direction. even though the center of the atmospheric river is set up shop for the central coast further southward, as you can see, some of our heaviest of rain is around l a on up into the central coast and now the santa cruz mountains. but the showers are moving northerly and that is going to push it right here into the bay area right in the middle of the morning co mute. you can see some of the heaviest of rainfall really squared up down in the santa cruz mountains right now down towards gilroy as well. some really heavy rain as of right now, comparatively quiet for the north bay and east bay. up to this point to 80's about

our wettest stretch of roadway right now that stretches from cupertino on up to see him. bruno pretty wet at this moment. 101. starting to see more and more rain falling for you. timing it out. you can see those areas of yellow and deeper green advancing further north in the bay through the heart of the morning commute 7, 08:00am, to 09:00am some of our heaviest and most widespread rainfall is to be expected when a lot of us are on the roads. now we are going to be seeing a few breaks from the rain, even a bit of sunshine towards the middle of the day. but keeping a close eye on those dark clouds because we will see resurgences of pockets of heavy rain, maybe even a few rolls of thunder smack dab in the middle of the day towards one to 03:00pm winds really pick up. and that's a company by a resurgence of moisture, too. so we're going to have a very active afternoon. likely some power outages, trees down and even some heavy rain right there on the coast of the peninsula into the north bay. this in the middle of your evening commute tonight, showers continue off and on through the evening and into tomorrow morning after 11:00am

tomorrow. looks like thing should calm down. but this is definitely a next active 24 hours right here. so not just during the morning, but a rainy afternoon, rainy evening tonight and even raining into tomorrow morning, too. rainfall estimates well over an inch for urban areas, 2 to 3 inches for the santa cruz mountains. san jose could be the big winner out of our urban areas for the sierra nevada, southern southern sierra from yosemite national park southward will see the bulk of the snowfall. 80 not going to get quite as big of an impact from this one. now we are seeing winds fairly mild come this morning, at least compared to where we're about to be. take a look at half moon bay and focus up there for a second. look at those winds this afternoon in excess of 60 miles per hour at times, same for the santa cruz mountains, very breezy elsewhere, too. but the peninsula coastline in the santa cruz mountains going to be seeing the hardest hit from these winds. that's those high wind warnings stretching from daly city pacifica down to santa cruz. high wind watches elsewhere in the bay. temps

today will be in the 50's with mid-fifties pretty much everywhere. oakland down through san jose each at 55 degrees. looking ahead, temperatures will rise after today. so today's the coolest and stormy us one tomorrow starts wet but clears outpost lunchtime. and then we're smooth sailing for the rest of the week. thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. all looking beautiful in clear brain. john, thank you for that. let's get you rolling on a tuesday. a wet tuesday. >> 27 minute. drive along 1, 0, 1, 85 up towards menlo park. if you're taking that right now, 2, 80 82 also pretty light. 8 minute drive into the city may so that fremont street exit your san mateo bridge around 12, 80 to 101. well, a sure traveling in the east bay san leandro down to milpitas about 20 minutes there still in the green along 6.80, through seminole san remo 5.80, traveling to little more than hayward. also at 5, 8, 8.80, traveling up from hayward up towards oakland is still moving at the limit.

clocking out towards the maze. about 15 minutes there. and if you're taking 24 down to 5.80, just under 13 minutes. dot. >> thank very much. rain, 5.19, the time and in bay area news we're seeing a rise in attacks on postal workers this year with workers reported being robbed at gunpoint, having their mail stolen postal office, postal officials are now condemning. obviously these acts of violence. take a listen. >> no letter care should have to come to work, if this is the day he or she should would be robbed. you know, i'm just doing their job. there will be no stone left unturned. >> in our efforts to identify, find and arrest anyone who would sink so low as to rob a carrier on the route. >> yeah, don't forget. robbery of postal worker is punishable by up to 25 years in prison. it is a felony. officials are asking to keep an eye out. be cautious when checking your mail and report any suspicious activity you might see. >> it's 5.20, and chinese

president xi jingping arrived in moscow yesterday for a three-day visit with the russian president vladimir putin. the 2 say the trip is supposed to deepen cooperation between their nations and they are discussing the on gore and going war. russia's attack on ukraine. our dc correspondent reshad hudson has the latest. >> the meeting between china and russia comes as the u.s. announces it is sending more military aid to ukraine. the white house says it wants to send a strong message that the u.s. is not backing down from its support for ukraine. >> china's president xi jinping and russian president vladimir called each other. do your friends as they begin a series of face-to-face meetings in moscow monday. china's leaders expected to use the high profile visit to present a peace plan to putin. that includes an immediate cease-fire. united states welcomes any initiative that advances they just and durable peace. secretary of state antony blinken says the plan

must include the removal of russian forces from ukraine. we have long supported, including ensuring nuclear safety resolving the matter in crisis, protecting civilians. and here's how the white house described the relationship between china and russia. so it's a bit of a marriage of convenience. i'd say less than it affection. on monday the biden administration announced the u.s. would be sending another 350 million dollars in weapons and equipment to ukraine. >> this work could actually end right now if russia would would withdraw its troops from the country. the high-profile meeting comes just days after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for putin for the deportation and abduction of children from ukraine. reporting in washington, reshad hudson, back to you. thank you. reshad. it is 5.22. >> and here's a quick live look at the roads this morning as 8.80, the great mall parkway where at the moment it doesn't look too wet, but that

is certainly going to be changing. you can see the radar imagery there in the bottom right corner. we've got some pretty intense rain set to fall for the morning commute and it's inching closer and closer. we'll get a full look at the forecast with full look at the forecast with john in a minute. i'm karen. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. i really like the flexibility. and for me, it's one less thing to think about while traveling. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms,

stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. i used to wait to run my dishwasher 'til it was super full. now, i dish differently. i run it daily. weekdays... weekends... sometimes after a big snack. you might think that's wasteful, but it's not.

also try new sweeper wood cloths.

>> we're back. ok? show? yes, sir. but dre stepped away during the commercial break. and john and i were having little chitchat about, yeah, this storm that we're seeing on the green wall, we're talking about the storm. don't want to throw out words that might worry you yet. but he was talking about well, things like bomb cyclone, things like strong winds that could cause power outages in certain select parts of the bay will have to have him explain. i get the win thing but bomb cyclones. bomb what? what is that? that just sounds explosive. i know it does. and that's why actually don't like to talk as it is. it's it's a bird. it's a word. obama genesis is a meteorologist cult term that refers to a storm that has a certain amount of pressure drop over a 24 hour period. >> and this storm is exhibiting that. so pressure

at the center of the storm has dropped pretty significantly over the past 24 hours and what that adds up to in layman's terms is just a rapidly strengthening storm. and that's what we've got here. storm that is strengthening really quickly, right off shore of san francisco in the monterey peninsula right now. and that is going to result in these intensifying winds very rapidly into the afternoon. and some really heavy rain along with that, too. where we sit right now. you can see those winds are picking up right along pier 15. it's definitely come right now. as far as rain goes for most of the bay. but that rain is picking up along the santa cruz mountains. now, the center of this storm right now is a right out here. this area right here as it up this direction. storm is going to strengthen really rapidly. and what i'm most worried about is going to be the santa cruz mountains in the peninsula coastline. these are going to be areas right here that are just lashed with heavy rain in

very, very strong winds, likely to see a lot of power outages along to 80's corridor, santa cruz mountains up the coastline. these areas right here going to be especially affected down into the monterey peninsula. communities like row are going to see a lot more impact from that heavy rain and all that water flooding into those streams, the salinas river, the river. i'm going to be having a big impact right there. now, temperatures right now, 40's 50's. it's mild. it's definitely not a cold morning. so really just focus on the rain jackets for today. hopefully get those storm drains clear yesterday. if you have it, go out there really quick before the rain picks up and do so. one of the biggest impacts from this for the bay area is going to be the really strong winds. look at half moon bay, 60 miles per hour. plus, wind gusts into the afternoon today. areas like san jose oakland, san mateo, also going to be quite windy as well. have a lot of trees down and we will have power outages from this one for sure. our high wind warning in effect in those deeper gold areas for the santa cruz

mountains up the peninsula coast in the high wind watches for the rest of the peninsula. san francisco, santa clara valley, as well as the east bay wake-up planner shows us is heavy morning rain fall winds really picking up into the afternoon. strong winds, heavy rains into the evening tonight. this is a system that will stay with us all day long today into the evening and into early tomorrow amid track it out. hour by hour for you in the forecast rain. all right, john, thanks for that. ok, if you are leaving your house. >> at around 5 for 32 this morning. we're tracking that morning. drive 9 minute. no issues on the bay bridge. that's great news. your san mateo bridge about 12 minutes there, 80 to 101. so smooth sailing. richmond, sandra fell bridge 7 minute drive and that golden gate bridge going to take about 19 minutes. remember john saying the rain is going continue to pick up traffic is going to change 30 minutes along 1, 0, one. 85 up towards menlo park and 8.80, silly and are down in milpitas about 21 minutes. darya. james, back to you. thanks a

lot. let's continue our team coverage of the rain. then the peninsula expected to get hit real hard today. yeah. good amount of rain expected to fall. so people living there. >> as we know, have had a hard time last week with the power outages in front the line, the last storm and how they're looking at potentially. >> more power like we just got our back kron four's. michael thomas is live in burlingame with a look at the conditions there and >> he's got out to michael. >> hey, good morning. i do have the umbrella out, but it's it's very light sprinkles. i i really just don't like getting wet. but, you know, the roads here are looking pretty decent. we're right here behind me. you know, it's hard to see but is highway 101. it is heading southbound all lanes to seem clear. not a ton of rain coming down right now. there's really not much winds coming through. and as far as the roads, well, they're a little bit wet, but not really, really major. but as john said, i think it's the morning starts to progress. we'll probably see more of that. but as of right now, not a ton of

rain, just light sprinkles. but that is the very latest here in burlingame. i will send it back to you guys live in the studio. i appreciate your honesty. yes, i just don't like getting one. thank you. we'll come back with michael again and track how that rain is developed. now there are people who live along el camino real in burlingame and they are on edge this morning yeah, because during last thursday store tuesday storm. >> 3 eucalyptus trees fell damaging homes and vehicles. and then i want to see that caltrans says they're still trying to determine which trees along the road might be unsafe. so far they've only removed one tree at this point. several she's are marked with orange paint. caltrans wouldn't say what that means at this point. >> or how many trees have been detyrmined at this point to be unsafe. >> it makes you really nervous to be quite honest. and i think that with the power of these storms that we've seen come through here. the the trees and and, you know, the instability of them have made people really nervous. so

we're just hoping that this storm will not be as bad as the other ones and that everybody stay safe. >> well, caltrans says that they're taking down any additional the additional trees is a bureaucratic mess because they have to involve a birds survey and a biologist as we part of the decision on top coordinating with pg and e because it could impact their lines and the city of berlin games. so there's lots of red tape. they got to get through just to cut down one tree that might pose a danger with these coming storms and more storm developments, residents of possible role in monterey county may have to wait even longer. >> before they can get back into their homes. county officials say that flooding from the broken river levee. >> damaged a sewer main that serves the city. >> so now they have to fix that over 2000 people were forced to evacuate when the levee first burst on march 10th more than a dozen trucks have been collecting and delivering sewage to a local treatment plant while the pipe

>> it's 5.45 right now and we're taking a look at this monster storm here and we see yeah, going to be scary. once it hits the heart of the bay.

john, good morning. yeah. definitely going to be seeing an increasing here just moments. a lot of us are still looking at calm conditions, at least for the time being. but it's working its way direction in doing so here pretty quickly looking outside at the east bay hills. not a lot going on here just yet. winds are starting to pick up in these areas. you're not seeing any showers yet for the east bay. but look at this. this is a live look at the infrared radar right now. the center of your atmospheric river is actually squared up right along southern california la san diego already been looking at rainfall for hours and at times really heavy rainfall. we're right at the edge of a very rapidly strengthening low pressure area that you can actually see the center of it. that's going to be scooting from just west of san francisco towards us rapidly intensifying through the morning and afternoon. then skirting right past the peninsula. santa cruz into monterey bay. that's going to be the area there that sees the strongest of winds and the heaviest rains likely the worst impacts from this system, which will involve the

loss of power, some downed trees on the peninsula, the coastline down into the central coast areas that have been seeing no shortage of storm impacts so far this winter and yet another hard hit in these areas right here. so that's where we're going to be seeing some of the strongest winds as well as the heaviest rains. right now, some really heavy rainfall along the central coast on up into the santa cruz mountains. you can see santa cruz itself seeing some very heavy rainfall right now as is also the case for gilroy starting to see rain picking up from san jose on up the peninsula. light showers in san francisco at this point. heavier stuff down towards woodside and eventually down to cupertino. los gatos, not seeing a whole lot for the east bay or in the north bay just yet all this energy is moving its way northward in doing so right in the heart of the morning commute. so we are going to see a big impact here with a lot of wet conditions on roadways as most of us are going to be on the roads. 08:00am to 09:00am. this morning. yellow orange really across the map. we will see

peaks of sunshine midday. but between those some really dark clouds chance of thunderstorms and heavy downpours along with them, winds picking up significantly this afternoon, big push of heavy rain along with those winds right in the heart of the evening commute. so it's going to be a rough drive home from work as well as we make our way into tomorrow morning. continued showers will be seen some very strong winds through the evening. and yes, another impact on the roads as you leave for work on your wednesday morning. rainfall estimates over an inch for most urban areas to 3 to even 4 inches for the santa cruz mountains out along the central coast. those areas are going to see the greatest of impacts for the sierra nevada. it's the southern and central sierra. that's going to see the most snow, multiple feet of it. really yosemite southward. lake tahoe not getting the brunt of this one. 80 and highway 50 are likely to remain open. now as far as wind gusts go, we will be seeing significant winds along the coast into the santa cruz mountains. take a look at half moon bay, 60 miles per hour.

plus, wind gusts towards the afternoon right into the evening commute tonight. likely going to be down trees, loss of power into the evening on into the late afternoon. thus those high wind warnings in the deeper gold hue stretching from daly, city, pacifica, half moon bay down to santa cruz, lighter gold areas indicating high wind watch is also going to be breezy along the bay shore and into the east bay. today's daytime highs in the mid 50's. so a mild day. good news is after the significant system midday tomorrow we dry out and we will be looking at a dry forecast for the rest of the week and into the weekend right now on. thank you for that check in on your morning. drive on a tuesday. >> if you're taking 5, 18, 80 right now about 16 minutes there, anticipating traffic to pick up as the rain starts to hit down harder and harder. 9 minutes. bay bridge meteor lights are on. no accidents or hazards. there. our san mateo bridge about 13 minutes, a 80 to 101. you're taking away for any akin to conquer about. 22 minutes to make that drive. you pick up soon as you hit pittsburgh and you continue to

slow down there westbound 24 walnut creek down to 5.80, about 11 minutes. and if you're taking 6.80 and have doubling down to fremont about 14 minutes, checking on this morning. southbound and northbound. not seeing any major issues will slow in there in the hayward area. everything else moving at the limit. darya. james, back to you. thank you. reyna is 5.49. and kron. 4 is putting the focus on fentanyl and soon our state could begin making its own supply of knowledge. so which is known as nora can. >> it's part of governor newsom's plan to invest more than a billion dollars to tackle the fentanyl. an opioid crisis and that includes putting money into the naloxone distribution project production of fentanyl strips, testing recovery and support services while prime overdose medication to all middle schools and high school students in the state. jessica smith with the national harm reduction coalition says that high costs and supply shortages have made nor can

difficult to get and having our own supply would make it better. >> kids are using drugs, right? and they need to to be able to understand like what how that affects their body, how they can stay safe, how they can keep their peers safe our own manufacturing supply and the state would hopefully make it much more affordable. >> smith does not agree with everything the other has announced in his plan. she says that he is missing some key funding to pay those who work in harm reduction, the national harm reduction coalition has asked for 61 million dollars in state funding to pay their workers that are delivering arcana providing fentanyl test strips. you get a snapshot of the fentanyl crisis across the bay area and real time on kron 4 dot com. and if you scan this qr code, it will take you to our new focus on fentanyl page. you can track all the local data and listen to our stories. >> well, 5.51, another story in the headlines today. we have happening today. people planning to rally in front oakland city hall to demand

that city council and its eviction moratorium. it's the landlords that are upset. they say they're dealing with tenants who are taking advantage of the moratorium by skipping out on rent without showing any proof that they are unable to pay it because of covid related financial hardships. they're asking the city to get rid of the policy because they say the continuous extensions of this moratorium are putting an undue burden on small property owners that are having to make the payments themselves. they rely, i should say the rally is going to be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon, which is just ahead of the city council meeting where members are going to be discussing the covid-19 health emergency. we'll take a break as we come up on 5.52. and coming up about 10,000 empty bottles have spilled onto 101, yesterday. we'll have more on the crash. chp says a semi carrying it was traveling northbound when it crashed into a guardrail at geyserville. the right lane was closed for a few hours for cleanup and guardrail repair.

what i'm because the truck is so big and the mound is so big that the bottles of tiny looks a wine bottles. yeah, empty. but yeah, a lot of the last 5.52. right now and continuing to track another thing. and that's a problem in the roadways, which is the rain. >> this commute is going to be a tough one for you, especially at this moment in the south bay. we'll be right back.

area as we speak. now, this is a storm system. >> that is rapidly strengthening is going to have a big impact right here in the bay area, areas that are already experiencing flooding like the central coast in the central valley. we're going to see even more heavy rain from this one right now, the radar is looking more impressive. further south in the bay, like right around santa cruz up into the santa cruz mountains. showers are generally moving in a north direction right here. so we're going to see more of that heavy rainfall pushing over the santa cruz mountains eventually into the south bay. more so peninsula and east bay and then up into the north bay, too. so we're all going to in the mix with this one in the unfortunate thing is the timing of it. all because the heaviest of rainfall does get here as more and more of us get out onto those roads and start our morning commute right now. some really heavy rain right here in the santa cruz mountains. now some of our worst model projections are saying that some spots in the santa cruz mountains could see up to 6 inches of rainfall opfrom the system. if that were

to play out right now, i've got as projected right around 2 to 3 inches for most areas. it would result in flooding along the san lorenzo river as well as a lot of small and small streams up there in the mountains. also, some really significant wind gusts in the same areas right here that are going to be looking at winds today later today as high as 60 to even 75 miles per hour. take a look at half moon bay right there along the coastline. all move this back just a little bit over 60 miles per hour. wind gusts on into the mid to late afternoon today. this is likely to result in some downed power lines down trees, loss of power, especially for some coastal communities in our mountain communities in the santa cruz mountains. so be mindful of this as we make our way through the day. we do have a high wind warning in effect from daly city, down the coast all the way into the santa cruz mountains. high wind watches elsewhere. in those lighter golden hues, i'm those lighter golden hues, i'm going to keep you updated the long-lasting scent of gain flings made it smell like dave was in his happy place... ...the massage chair at the mall.
