As we see much more of this moisture streaming in, a couple of storm systems will impact the bay area and also raise the concern of flooding. Weve also had some stand beiin the roadways.

She has a reputation for Building Trust in the community, according to sources, which is a quality mayor schaaf is look for.

They say recent storms and more storms this week suggest the snow pack will improve before melting season in april. April is when they will check it again.

Were just now getting a look inside the night club. Authorities say they now know who the suspected gunman is. Thats video of him. So far investigators are not officially releasing his name. Authorities have detained a number of people linked to that attack with a number of arrests just this morning. So far they do not have the suspected gunman and isis has claimed responsibility.

The dow industrials up and we were talking earlier thats a new look for the nyc. Faraday future revealed their car at an event yesterday. They have not set a price. Theres a fair amount of doubt the company will be to actually produce this car but then again, people doubted tesla. The company has promised to build a car plant in vallejo, right here where this red is. Now, there is some doubt theyll be able to do it but we do wish them the absolute best. Lets go to fremont where there is indeed a car plant. Tesla said it fell short of its goal of delivering 80,000 cars in the year. They delivered 76,000. The thing is with tesla, it always, always falls short of its goals. Originally tesla had planned to build 90,000 cars in 20. They revised that to 80,000. They actually built about 76,000. But thats still 51 better than the year they did before. Tesla cannot, does not, probably never will reach the goals that it claims but it is building more cars. I mentioned the Consumer Electronics show. Heres another product. Its a fishing drone, it dispenses bait to bring the fish in. You dispense it from your iphone. Does it fillet it for you, too .

I believe kari said theyre getting a snow dump out there in that area. Emphasis on feet. Multiple. Three to six. Could be more than that. They just did that survey. Only at 50 . 50 . Were going to make some progress hopefully. Were seeing rain in the bay area and quite a few systems as we go into the next several days. Heres a live look of what to expect as we head out the door. Our mobile Doppler Radar is filling in the gap of what some of the other radars may miss. Right now we have storm ranger parked to give us the best view of the south bay and east bay as well. Were seeing a little bit of a break there, mist drizzle. As you go from san mateo to palo alto, some light rain falling and its still steady as you head from union city and farther off toward the east and from hayward and seeing that extending toward the trivalley. Right now temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. This is where temperatures will hold steady as we go through the day and even as we catch some breaks with low visibility there as you see the bay bridge and that San Francisco camera shot. As we go into the rest of the day, seeing much of this rain tapering, a little bit of chance to dry out. Still, a chance of rain at any point today, especially in the north bay where there will still be a stream of moisture dipping in. The flood warnings have been dropped and thats great news as we get a little bit of a break before a stronger system moves in this weekend. Between saturday and sunday we see the bulls eye over the Santa Cruz Mountains with some very intense rain on the way with this Atmospheric River streaming subtropical moisture into the bay area and even next week more rain in the forecast. So looking good as we try to put a dent in this drought but we dont need flooding in all of this with a chance of close to 8 inches of rain while the rest of the bay area gets 3 to 5 inches of rain in the sierra. Once again, we talked about several feet of snow. This is what one computer model is putting down over the next several days. Lets see how the roads are moving and what it looks like on the rails. We are still seeing several accidents. Thankfully it appears to all be fender benders. We saw a spinout on 880 on the industrial. There have been three accidents along that same highway further down south. Were also seeing slowing along the westbound 92. As we see the crash near 680, were still seeing slowing near stone ridge. There is a 20minute delay with bart. The metering lights are on. Westbound 80 42 minutes. Make sure you take extra time on the roads because the roads are backing up. Good advice. Thank you.
