Lightning strikes has ramped up to 19 offshore. So well have chances of thunderstorms in the forecast tonight. Not much right now in widespread rainfall, a few scattered showers out there. Heres our live camera in san jose with mostly cloudy skies. But things will be changing. Look what happens about an hour during the 6 00 to 7 00 hour. The coverage will be increasing over the next hour or so. We could have thunderstorms moving quickly across the bay area by 9 00. Another system approaches the area thursday night and maybe more rain in your fiveday forecast. More on that in a few minutes. Every time it rains this winter, its going to cause concerns for many homeowners in the north bay, especially in the burn zones where is the potential for flooding and mudslides. Its been nearly three months now since those Deadly Wildfires broke out and many people have started to rebuild. Ktvus tom vacar joins us live from santa rosa with more. Reporter when this santa rosa hillside neighborhood burned down, the other thing that burned off was all of the cover. And now this is just naked ground laying out here and any kind of water can start the land moving. Now, a lot of water could do some real make problems and all day today theres been almost no rain up here. But no that it is coming and thats what they are worried about because of what they are what they are trying to do is to dodge a weather bullet. Reporter rain wasnt an issue until half past noon when the first light rain started falling in santa rosas coffey park, rains that stayed light for the afternoon. The worry in Sonoma County and napa that serious rain falling on denuded hillsides and burnedout lots could start mudslides, floods, perhaps even landslides. At napa valley expo, crews handed out wattles to help folks stabilize their lands. We are up on a steep slope. Our house has been removed. The foundations are gone. Theres a lot of exposed dirt work and stuff that usually protected it from getting too wet. We already got around the foundation yesterday. Today we are putting it in the drainage channels and stuff, finishing up areas where ash and debris will go down into drainage. Just trying to do our part. Reporter back in Sonoma County the worst danger is to those residences, wineries, businesses and Youth Authority facility at the foot of Hood Mountain regional park. The mountain is so denuded of vegetation and so unstable and steep, the park is closed indefinitely and signs proclaim the extreme danger to those close by. There are plenty of drains around this mountain that can easily handle normal or torrential rains provided that the trees and the brush and the grass are still up there which they are not anymore. And the problem is, if you start getting major flows of mud and landslides, these drainages will be overwhelmed. In santa rosa, the state Emergency Services director touring the area with the u. S. Homeland security secretary was grateful for the mostly light rain, saying a lot of reparations are already in place. Right after the fires went out, one of the key priorities was mitigation efforts, clear channels, put in these wattles, these, um, these devices to help to, um, channel and offset water flows. A tremendous amount of mitigation has been done. Reporter so while tonights rains are not likely to produce any big problems, people are going to be concerned about this every rain event throughout the winter and into the spring because its going to take at least that long for all of this land to at least start growing back some stuff. A lot of grass has been planted but theres still plenty to plant. They are not taking any chances. Tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. Thank you.

Last year, the first measurement had 6 inches of water content. Still, water managers say theres plenty of time to catch up. Last year, where we ended up with such a record season, we really got started in january and february with the atmospheric rivers that are critical to californias water supply. Water Officials Say the state is in better shape than previous years because the reservoirs remain above normal after last years heavy rains but they say its always a good idea to conserve no matter the weather. A lot of big patches of grass out there. Lets go over to meteorologist mark tamayo in the Weather Center for more on the forecast. More rain on the way . Yeah. We have more rain, especially the next few hours and if you are thinking this will be a snow producer in the sierra, we are not lucking out this time because yeah, the snow level will be around 8,000 feet or so.

California democrats are trying to find a way to get around a new federal cap on state and local tax deductions. Democrats are planning to unveil a proposal as early as this week. Under the plan, instead of paying taxes to the state, californians would be allowed to donate the money to the states coffers and deduct the entire sum from their federal taxes. People who donate to those funds often have greater benefits. People who choose not to donate would still be required to pay state taxes. Up until this year, taxpayers in the state could deduct an unlimited amount of state and local taxes from their federal taxes. That number is now capped at 10,000. Lawmakers at the state capital also say they have returned to work with a continued focus on Sexual Harassment at the capital.

A federal judge is hearing five lawsuits that seek to reinstate the Obama Program which protects immigrants from deportation. While she was hearing visiting the north bay fire zone, department of Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was asked about californias designation as a sanctuary state. The challenge that we have is what were talking about are sanctuaries for criminal aliens. So we have to find a way to work with the states to ensure that our communities are safe. When we arent able to pick up the criminals in a safe setting such as a jail, we then have to go into communities, which puts everyone in danger. President trump and attorney general Jeff Sessions have blasted the new sanctuary law saying it would keep federal officers from doing their jobs. Governor jerry brown called the law balanced and said it allows Law Enforcement to target dangerous criminals while protecting families without legal residency in the country. The acting director of immigration and customs had strong words for the new state law saying, quote, california better hold on tight. As Jonathan Hunt reports, the director said he wants to double the number of i. C. E. Agents and says politicians who back sanctuary policies should face penalties. Reporter the acting ice director is angry at californias new laws and at governor jerry brown for not only supporting them but also for not supporting much of the work of federal immigration authorities. The acting i. C. E. Director repeatedly warned californians about what he predicts will be dire results. The smuggling organizations are using the sanctuary cities law, the sanctuary state law, as a selling point. More illegal aliens will be coming to california. More criminal aliens will be coming to california. So california has bit off a lot more than they can chew. Reporter its important to point out that california has never officially declared itself a sanctuary state. The legislation containing the new laws in fact is called the california values act. Critics of course say it amounts to the same thing. Put simply, the new laws strictly limit the extent to which local Law Enforcement agencies can cooperate with and help federal immigration agents. How that will work in practice remains to be seen. But the acting i. C. E. Director clearly feels it will make his job and that of his agents more difficult and more dangerous. So he is putting more i. C. E. Boots on the ground and he says the administration should start charging local politicians who pass these laws with crimes. I mean, more citizens are going to die because of these policies and these politicians cant make these decisions and be held unaccountable for people dying. I mean, we need to hold these politicians accountable for their actions. Does the president share you view . Absolutely. Reporter with language like that, it is clear that this fight between the Trump Administration and the state of california has a long way to run. In los angeles, Jonathan Hunt, fox news.
