High. Thats because were in the heart of the storm right now and we still have several more hours of weather like this to go before i passes through this is the first level three storm that weve had in over a month, and it is drenching the entire bay area. We have Team Coverage from the south bay to the north bay and the east bay as well. And we have Team Coverage of weather experts tracking the storm. Drew tuma monitoring the watches and warnings in effect right now. But lets begin with spencer christian. Hey, spencer. We want to start by looking at the rainfall totals. Nearly 2 inches in San Francisco. This is the wettest in San Francisco in two years. It is wet and getting wetter all across the bay area, as you can see right here. These batches of yellow and orange offshore represent heavy downpours just beginning to push onshore. The beach is getting a heavy downpour at the moment. Well see heavier rainfall up to san rafael by 6 09. And fairfield, thats the path that this area of heavy downpours will be taking. As we go down to street level, sausalito, along bridge way, pretty heavy rain. All across the north bay, San Franciscos getting some pretty heavy downpours at the moment as well. This is a strong storm, ranking three on the impact scale. Heavy at times with strong, gusty winds. Flooding concerns over the burn scarred areas continue. And drew tuma will give you the late ea latest on watches and advisories. It has been such a wet day and more heavy rain is moving onshore. So flooding is a high concern. A Flash Flood Watch is still in effect for the north bay from clover dale, south to rhoner park. And down through mill valley. This lasting until tomorrow morning, 6 00 in the morning on your tuesday. And its a big difference between a watch and a warning. A Flash Flood Watch means conditions are favorable for flooding. If a Flash Flood Warning is issued, that means flooding is occurring or will be occurring very shortly. So you want to seek Higher Ground if that happens. Not only the high rain but the winds, the wind advisory still in effect through tomorrow morning, gusts up to 4050 Miles Per Hour are possible. When we come back, well look at the hour by hour forecast timing out the rest of the storm in a few minutes. Now we are keeping an eye on the roads and see where commuters face delays. A car fire on the san mateo bridge is causing backups on the east bound side. We do want to take a live look at the camera now on that bridge. Eastbound traffic, two lanes were shut down, but one of them reopened about 30 minutes or so ago. Heres new image of that fire that broke out. No one was hurt. The chp says it has taken a while for the tow truck to reach the car because of all the traffic. About three dozen pg and e customers are without power, a couple of trees fell and got tangled with the power lines. According to the outage map, power isnt expected to be restored until tomorrow morning. It will be a long night for those folks. And that area with the wildfires is the biggest concern for mudslides. Lets begin with abc 7 News ReporterWayne Freeman live in santa rosa tonight. Reporter good evening. Theres an interesting twist to the story. While most of Northern California has worried about the return of a drought with the little rain weve had this year n the nor in the north bay it gsd news, more time to prepare. Theres a Flash Flood Watch in effect for the north counties. But based on the demand for sandbags, no ones in a panic. Maybe theyre immune. It has been three months to the day since life changed for so many of the regions residents in the form of loss, pain and doubt. Concerns today are a stepchild of all that past trouble, all the worries about the rain. Its not the amount of rain but the duration and what time period. Reporter santa rosa fire marshal is a victim of the fire himself, looking for potential mudslide areas in firescarred lands. They planted grass, mulch, the batting, so far so good. What, with the Flash Flood Watch remaining in effect, residents are on notice that if the rain turns hard suddenly and the soil turns shift thy, they could fac evacuations. Its not going to be a large scale evacuation. Reporter but youre using the word evacuation. Wed like toab be on the cautious side. Reporter three months later, still a measure of worry. In the north bay, wayne freedman, abc 7 news. Residents in Southern California are also at risk after the thomas fire. People in ventura have been filling up free sandbags to present their homes from potential mudslides. There are some mandatory evacuations in sbraanta barbara county. And one car, you see there ended up on its roof, the other had its front end smashed in. The chp says they have responded to more than two dozen accidents in the south bay since midnight. Especially when we have weather conditions like this. What people need to be aware of is that the roadway conditions are going to change. And when those conditions on the road change, the driving habits need to change as well. Speaking of, the rain pounded the south bay and it had an impact on the roads and businesses there. Janine de la vega sent the day there and in san jose. What are we looking at . Reporter earlier in the day, it was raining much harder, no signs of flooding, though. If anything, we needed this downpour. The relentless rain outdoors made for a busy day of phone calls inside. What kind of gutters were you looking for today . Reporter none of their crews can go out because its too slippery to use a ladder safely. You need repair, cleaning, water oversflflowing, all that d of stuff. People dont realize they have a gutder problem until the rain comes in. Reporter it made for messy roads. On highway 17 we found an overturned truck blocking a lane, slowing traffic. Less than a mile away another driver lost control, rolling over. Jakne Janette Lopez was in the passenger seat. I grabbed my things and started crawling out. Once we got out of window, i called for help. Reporter fortunately, she and the driver werent hurt. Chp was stationed a many areas along the winding highway, because they know not all drivers slow down in the rain. Crews are watching to make sure drains dont clog. Reservoirs are half at the normal average this time of year. Were happy for the rain. Were continuing with our Water Conservation program, we keep on monitoring our reservoirs and lakes and were very pleased right now where the conditions are. Reporter we typically get most of our rainfall in the months of january through march. So that makes the Santa Clara ValleyWater District i havery optimistic. One water board member told me its not how you start the season but how you finish. Now abc 7 news was in berkley this morning. Interstate 80 was wet, but cars were not slowing down much. Went fairly smoothly. Bald tiers are not helpful in this weather. The suv youre looking at ended up on its roof after crashing by a street and antioch. Traffic backed up on 101 in sausalito because of a similar crash. This driver also had bald tires and was going too fast for conditions. The car hit the center deaf identify and flipped over by rodeo exit. The driver was taken to the hospital with nonlifethreatening injuries. Laura anthony is live in walnut creek with a look at one local waterway and how its being affected, laura . Reporter this is pretty typical of what weve seen all around the county, this is tice creek. Its running higher than it was before the system rolled in today. But that is a welcome sight for folks wondering what the new year would bring in terms of rain. Its the first significant rain of the new year. Most welcome to beginning to wonder where the winter went. I hope we get enough rain this winter. We dont want to go back to drought conditions. Reporter in oakland, the rain did bring with it some minor flooding issues. Storm drain filled with debris during the extensive drive sp dry spell that was december. December was almost like june. I was hoping for rain back then, but new year, so rain now wont hurt. Reporter in contra costa county, the weather produced slick roadways. We havent had a lot of rainfall. Most of the rain is infiltrating into the soil, we havent had any real problems with slides or anything like that. Reporter and while some may find the rain an inconvenience, the water watchers say bring it on. So far, overall, the area is tracking below average. But this storm arnd the ones tht will hopefully come in january will bring us back up to normal at a minimum. Reporter for many, the rain is a Welcome Change within reason. I dont want any damage to happen, but mother earth is doing her thing. Thats for sure. Reporter now thanks to last years winter, east bay mud says its storage in the high sierra is still well above average for this time of year. The snowpack, though, is not. The hope is that this system and the ones hopefully that will follow will bring that up to normal for this time of year. In walnut creek, laura anthony, abc 7 news. We do want to remind everybody you can track the storm at any time with the abc 7 news app. You can enable push alerts to get advisories on your phone or tablet. Avail yourself of that when you can.

[ applause ] mark leno officially turned in his paperwork today. The former state senator, state assemblyman and San Francisco supervisor had announced back in may he would run for mayor. He pledges to shake things up with a bigger, broader approach to some of the citys problems. Homelessness affordability is not unique to San Francisco. Its a regional, a statewide challenge. So we need to work with our regional partners to identify the needed revenue sources. London breed also mentions quality of life issues as a priority. Breed is president of the board of supervisors, a native san franciscan, she was raised in poverty and moved by the plight of those on the streets. She says shes been actively working on this. Weve already begun the process of clearing out tent enca encampments, because they definitely a health issue. Providing access to navigation centers.

She successfully championed Free Community college. She ran unsuccessfully for the state Senate Last Year but got a boost in name recognition after being endorsed by bernie sanders. San francisco has the fastestgrowing income a ggap between the rich and the poor. And my focus has been on how do we grow and strengthen our middle class and diminish the gap between the have and the havenots. The drama that will play out long before the election is the catastrop controversy over an interim mere. London breed has been serving. But some feel that person should be a caretaker, not someone who is running for the job. It takes six votes, and were told that process is likely to take place january 16th.

The Mission District took no chnces, sand bags and flood barriers went up in front of homes and businesses today to protect against any flooding that might happen. Along this stretch of fulsome scre street, a big line of barriers were set up. This driver ran into destructible in daley city. Drivers in burlingame took it easy, crossing puddles on the streets and keeping windshield wipers going. No real problems no burlingame, but its been an intense day around the bay area. We heard this stat, its been the rainiest day in three years. Its rainiest day since december 11 of 2014. So a little over three year. Its raining now, you can see a little bit on this area right here at the golden gate and going into San Francisco. This is where we have the hef twres ra iest rain. Lets take a look at daley city, do downpours there. All through the sunset district, balboa, san bruno. Up in the peninsula and into the south bay near mountain view, weve got heavy downpours there at North Shore Line boulevard and over in palo alto, campus drive, all around the peninsula and down into the south bay it is pouring, and this is what weve recorded so far from this storm. More than one and a half inches here at sfo. Nearly two inches in San Francisco now, over an inch and a half across the fwbay in oakland. The totals continue to grow. This is a live view from the rooftop camera, looking along a wet embarcadero. Temperatures are in the upper 50s to near 60 in San Francisco. Oakland, mountain view, san jose, 60 degrees and half moon bay, 57. And emeryville, you can probably tell that its wet as we look over the bay. Temperature readings in the north bay and inland east bay are in the mid50s. Fairfield, 50. 53 at concord. One more live view from the exploratorium camera, looking back against the skyline. Rain will continue overnight. It will be heavy at times. Look for occasional downpours with winds gusting 30 to 50 Miles Per Hour especially in the higher elevations. And the storm will ease up just a bit before the morning commute, but it will still be messy. The storm is strong, it ranks three on the impact scale. Heres a little forecast animation starting at 7 00 this evening. Notice the yellow and orange representing the heaviest downpours. They continue through the late night and overnight hours and finally, just in the wee hours of the morning before the morning commute begins well see it break up an a little bit, but it will still be quite wet. Later into the day into the afternoon, early evening hours well see the storm finally winding down, but well be left with a lot more rain after that. Overnight lows will be generally in the low to mid50s. And this is our next, not our next storm, but this will be the remainder of the current storm. It will be downgraded as a one as it weakens, producing lingering, light showers, up to additional inch of rain. Up around 60 degrees. Heres the accuweather forecast, scattered showers before it winds down, partly cloudy but drying out on wednesday and getting sunnier on thursday and warming up as we get to the end of the week with high temperatures climbing into the mid60s over the weekend, but look at next monday, our next chance of rain after tomorrow.

The teams will identify serial offenders, work with the crimes unit as well as Community Groups to develop prevention strategies. The first dedicated teams will roll out at the Mission District station. This problem has been increasingly frustrating for our residents and tourists who are left feeling very helpless. Indeed, the new plan comes after the city reported 30,000 car breakins last year while arrest rates fell. These officers will be more visible, more available and more able to reverse the disturbing trend. The special teams will be up and running at all district stations by the end of the year, meantime, the chief and supervisors emphasize the number one thing you can do to avoid being a target is to not leave anything in plain sight.

As part of our partnership with Consumer Reports, mierkchael fiy tells us what to think about before closing those accounts. Looking to declutter your wallet . You may be tempted to cancel those accounts. But before you grab those scissors, experts at Consumer Reports say there are a few things you must consider. Cutting up a credit card can feel liberating, especially if youve spent years diligently paying off the debt, however Consumer Reports says there are times when you might not want to cut that card out of your life completely, like if youre planning to apply for a mortgage. Because one of the things that bankers look for is your credit utilization ratio. Thats the balance you owe on your credit cards compared to the amount you can actually borebor borrow. Cancel an account and you lose its available credit. And the utilization level goes up and youre not an attractive candidate. Another thing lenders look for is diversity. They like to see that you have various credit types. An installment loan, a credit card, a store card, if you cancel the one card you have its going to reduce your mix. You want to keep time on your side. A longer Credit History helps boost your credit score. If youre looking to close one of several cards, think long term. Think of one that you got most recently. The only time you want to consider closing a card you never use is if theres an annual fee, because thats a wae waste of money. Your best bet with a credit card is stick it in your dresser drawer and put it away if youre not going to use it. Canceling your credit card will have an impact on your score for at least six months. You may want to reconsider canceling the account if you plan to apply for a loan anytime within the next half year. I want to hear from you. My hotline is open weekdays 10 00 a. M. To 2 00 p. M.

You can see the doppler is lit up in yellow and oranges indicating heavy downpours. This rain is going to go on for a while. This is a strong storm as weve pointed out throughout the evening. It ranks three on the storm impact scale. Well see periods of heavy rain, gusty wind and flooding concerns remain over the burnscar areas. Overnight at storm begins to taper off, look for low temperatures to drop to the low to mid50s. But at morning commute begins, if the storm is not as intense its still going to be quite wet and a slow morning commute. As the storm winds down tomorrow, it will be reduced in intensity and well rank it one on the storm impact scale, producing lingering showers throughout the day with up to maybe another quarter of an inch of rainfall and breezy conditions. Winds 1020 Miles Per Hour. High temperatures will barely reach 60 degrees tomorrow.

It is Klay Thompson bobble head night and brighter than that, steph currys on fire since coming back from his ankle injury. He was named the western conference player of the week. Capped by a 45point outburst on saturday night against the clippers. Curry just owns the clips. He was also interested in owning a team in real life. The nfls carolina panthers. Its a pretty interesting opportunity. Ive had conversation with plenty of people about the right way to go about it. Obviously, i have a day job, but i got people that are plugged in and trying to see how to make that happen. Im very interested and very willing to do what it takes to make that happen. Hes so good at whatever he d does right now. Like steph saying i got my people on it. Curry could use some of his people to calm down Draymond Green who was fined 25,000 for critical comments against nba officials after they went over the clips. The friction between the players and refs is ruining the game. Greens already had 11 technical fouls assessed. Curry agrees draymond may be unfairly targeted at times. He will be looking around the court. He didnt say anything, didnt do anything demonstrative. Ive seen a blind eye turned to it. And draymond would admit theres been situations on the other side where hes gone overboard. Draymonds got a reputation at this point. Take you back in time. The date was january 8, 1998, exactly 20 years ago today. Jon gruden named the head coach and tomorrow he will take over the silver and black again. He was only 34 when the late al davis hired him.

The older players are an a little bit leary of playing for a guy thats younger of them. So i bring up how old they are. I know i have to respect the confidence of these players and the only way to do that is cultivate that relationship and prove that your plan is in place and its going to work. Well, speaking of working again, exraider defensive coordinator of mooiving across e bay. Hes going to be the inside linebackers coach.
