Drive off the road. Im glad were not trying that drive that it looks miserable out there. How about something completely different . Look at us today in comparison. This is from the Mark Hopkins Hotel just about 20 minutes ago, caught a spectacular view of a rainbow. You can watch in the time lapse. It kind of goes away. Its not all blue skies like that. You look out the window, you can see its still pretty cloudy. A live view from our roof looking out over the bay. So we caught a brief glimmer of absolutely fantastic. But ive got to bring you back in time now to demonstrate why the National Weather Service Extended the blizzard warning. Before i showed you the maps, let me just show you and let you hear why they were suppose to do that. This is from palisades. It gets dramatic as you watch this. Probably 70 miles an hour winds. Thats the chair lift. And they just shared this earlier today. By the way, palisades, one of the places higher up, reporting 190 miles an hour wind gusts from one of their automated centers on friday. So some of the strongest. The record in california, by the way, the 199, that is verified. We dont know if the 190 was there. But thats today. If we use the visualization to see how the Weather Prediction Center is messengering where the areas of greatest concern are in the sierra, this map is not showing us snow. Its not showing us wind, but a combination of all things that the storm has to throw and where it falls on the winter storm severity index. This is today in red. We are at major, which is hazardous driving. What i want you to see is tomorrow because tomorrow gets better. Were not done tomorrow. If you look at the monday forecast for the winter storm severity index, were looking at more moderate. But things are about to start improving. Ill show you how the storm finally gives us a break when we get together in that complete forecast. In the meantime, the blizzard warnings still goes until midnight, which was extended. There is now a winter storm warning, which goes until wednesday because of the next storm. Nowhere near as intense as this one. Ill show you what that looks like in just a bit. Storm is also leaving people in the dark up in the mountain. More than 100 customers without power in donor lake. You could imagine what that is like with all the snow and the cold weather. And this is south of castlewood drive. The damage blocked both directions of the roadway about 7 00 this morning. Throughout the storm, be sure to stay with us for the latest updates. You can head over to kpix. Com or download the free cbs news app. In other news tonight, the high cost of living is presenting problems for many in the golden state. But for farmworkers, it may be reaching a tipping point. The deadly Half Moon Bay shootings revealed the Living Conditions of farmworkers who work in our communities and raised awareness. Last june governor gavin newsom awarded 5 million to San Mateo County to buy homes for survivors of the shooting. In Sonoma County where agriculture is an economic engine, it is becoming an economic crisis. Today, the county held a farm worker resource fair to help those make the whole thing work. John ramos has the story. Reporter california is the number one agricultural state in the union, but it is also the most expensive place to live. So what happens when the people who grow our food can no longer afford to be in the place where food is grown . Reporter there is very little employment for farmworkers from the later part of november to right now. Farmworkers are average working, one, two days a week. Mother nature interferes. Reporter with the rain falling and the vines sitting dormant, there isnt much for the small army of Sonoma County farmworkers to do. It has become a part of the culture of the wine industry. It is sort of sad that they help sustain a healthy vineyard culture in Sonoma County. But during the winter, they dont know where their next meal is going to come from. Will they be able to afford their rent . Reporter guzman did some pushing. Sonoma county hosted their first ever resource fair to connect laborers with help they may not have known even existed. From Healthcare Services to Food Assistance to help finding another job. The things we dont talk about are the challenges for people who are undocumented. And many people who are undocumented have been in this county for many years and are contributing to the survival of all of us. They are challenged because they may not be able to get a job in the way someone who is documented and has a right to work. This resource fair is a really Good Opportunity to be able to listen to that community, provide support within in between the seasons, and really start looking at bigger longterm sustainable support for farmworkers. Reporter with the gap between rich and poor widening, the neat for some kind of permanent support is reaching a critical stage. Farmworkers cannot work remotely. Theyre tied to the land. But now people who have been traditionally willing to do back breaking work for little pay are finding they just cant make it here anymore. They just cant afford to live here, you know . With the wages, the inflation, rents, its just not a place for farmworkers to actually raise a family. Reporter and youre seeing a number of them leave . Oh yeah, theyre leaving. Theyre going to the valley, they are going to other states, especially into the central valley. Reporter and once theyre gone, there may not be enough left to do the work. In Sonoma County, its primarily wine. But in other spots in california, its fruits, vegetables, meat and poultry, the stuff we all rely on to survive. If Food Shortages start happening, providing help for the farmworkers, will seem like a bargain. Todays resource fair includes more than 40 different agencies and nonprofits that provide help for low income residents. Still ahead at 6 00, to help the state store even more water. Nothing has been built like this in california for more than 30 years. The location and the timeline for a brand New Reservoir and why the project received significant pushback. And later some bay area voters choosing whether or not to cut loose from an agency meant to protect them from floods. Why some say they are i launched our campaign at this union hall. Lets go win this thing then we hit the road and never stopped. You shared with me your frustration at working harder to barely get by and afford a place to live. Your fears for our democracy and freedoms and your dreams for yourself, your family, and the future. It is not too late to realize those dreams. Im adam schiff, and i approve this message because together we can still get big things done. All the rain and snow moving across california and how much the water has been stored. Its a New Reservoir and that project is finally underway. It will be just east. Our Wilson Walker has a closer look at the developments there. Nothing has been built like this in california for more than 30 years. Reporter its been nearly 70 years since they took a look and saw the potential for the reservoir. It is still truly massive. It is moving ahead and the payoff will be as large as the new lake itself. It will not dam the river, which is good for the fish, but instead the water will be pumped up out of the valley. And it is basically bringing it off the river during the periods and storing it here in the valley and releasing it back out to be used or flow back into the river during dry periods. Reporter the natural bowl of limestone creating the valley does most of the work only two relatively small dams are required. This gives you a nice angle on the scale of the dam. It is a large dam, but its not huge. Reporter and of all the 180 miles required to move back out, only 15 miles of it has to be new. When everything is built and the water is turned on. Its the eighth largest in the state of california. Reporter what happens when they are here . Where some members of the family will still live, this will all be submerged. At this location, we would be under water. Reporter the authorities are negotiating with landowners. Most are said to be on board with the project, but many are reluctant to talk as the discussion now has dragged on for generations. 60 years and it has never happened, so you can imagine the fatigue that you might feel with people telling you youve got to move and no you dont. But i think they are getting to the place and theyre older, where they understand the importance of this to the community. Reporter the state with the big push from the governor is trying to get things moving. Now it must be obtained and that is a big step and expected to be cleared in the next year. After that, then well Start Construction in 2026. We figure its about a seven year construction period. So about the end of 2032. All right, lets go over now to first alert meteorologist, darren peck, with more on this weather that just keeps on giving . We are almost done. Hang in there, hang in there. Were going from those beautiful images where it looks like california as they do this time of the year and ive got another one. That is from the Mark Hopkins Hotel and i had to go back to it. It didnt last long. This is from say 5 45 until 5 50. We time lapsed it, so watch the rain bands move out, and the direct sunlight was still there, but we lost the refraction from all those small little rain drops where that light will get back and you like the rain. The rainbow just evaporated. It did not last long, but it was a spectacular show. Glad i could share that with you again in case you liked it. Okay, numbers, an inch and a half. San francisco so far, santa rosa, an inch and a half. And we could still add to these with more to go. This is not a major rainmaker for us. We were never really seriously concerned about this storm from a flooding standpoint. A few scattered show ors will remain through tomorrow morning. The energy is way reduced. Give it another few hours and then well be done. It was in effect until 9 00 a. M. On sunday and now extended from 1 00 a. M. Until 9 00 a. M. Tomorrow. Well see why, its a classic situation for why you get a frost advisory, its only in the north bay valley. Most of us in the low to mid40s. We end up with the view taking a look towards sonoma and napa. Getting down to the mid30s tomorrow. And the low spot, cold air is heavy, it tends to sink. And those in the enclosed valley without any access to the bay. The temperatures will drop more. Thats what youve got coming your way for tomorrow. All right, lets get back to whats coming up next and another chance for rain late tomorrow night from an entirely separate storm. A much bigger one. We cant take rain out of the forecast and i hope andrea is not listening. And it is going to be nothing like this system. The one coming in is wishywashy. Well come in for a closer look. This system will come in first late tomorrow night with a chance of rain only for the north bay. So you get a few drops of rain there. Look at the time stamp up there with a little bit of rain. It will be a better snow maker than a rainmaker. This wont be like the current snow. I want you to see how the rain comes out. And then there is this weird pause in the action before the system comes back with a little more rain bay area wide and just before it is finally aligned here. Thats wednesday morning. Well see more light showers come across on wednesday. With a forecast like this, weve got a broad brush in because that could easily change. Its a cutoff low and they behave erratically. Weve seen plenty this winter. Generally speaking, each one of those has a chance for some light rain on it and you can see its a tenth of an inch of rain and more snow from that system. Instead of eight feet, it will be a foot. That winter storm warning does go as you see the areas in red, that will go until 4 00 a. M. On wednesday now because of that system, that additional foot of snow. Snow level will be down to 5,000 feet. Hugely different, way different from the snow we just had with lower snow totals. A chance of rain here and a broad brush for everybody. Then yeah, another chance back here. More on that as we get closer to it. None of it looks major. Matt, over to you. Giants made a big splash in free agency on friday night. The team says theyre done, but is that the truth . Well weigh in. Everyone has an off day, right . The warriors played a game on sunday that temperatures cooling down as we head into the weekend and stronger onshore. Ah, i stepped off the coast again. The winds are really picking up. Fog spreading farther inland. And in the north bay, youre gonna get soaked. water splashing [narrator] presenting the bay areas only virtual weather studio. Next level weather. As i lift this, you can actually see. [narrator] on kpix and pix . wind blowing its that real. water splashing lets move on to the sevenday now. Overflowing with ideas and energy. Thats the San Francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. Porter is easily the most impressive candidate. Known for her grilling of corporate executives. With deep policy knowledge. Katie porters housing plan has bipartisanfriendly ideas to bring homebuilding costs down. And the chronicle praises her ideas to end soft corruption in politics. Lets shake up the senate. With democrat katie porter. Im katie porter and i approve this message. Warriors entered sunday with wins in 11 of the last 13 games, eight consecutive road victories. So the expectation was a competitive game against the eastern conference first place boston celtics. It didnt happen. Steph curry played after being questionable with a knee injury. Golden state looking for their ninth win on the road. Steph rolls up the runner going around and around to tie the game at 21, as good as they got for the dubs. Jalen brown pulls up for a three here to make it 3021. The former cal bear scored 19 in the opening quarter. Now a 17point celtics lead. And leading to an open three. Boston finished the quarter on a 233 run. They made nine threes in the first and they led 4322. Jayson tatum here now 7132. And its a rough night for curry. He went 09 from deep. The worst shooting half of his career. He only scored four points. Steph, draymond, and klay, yeah, they didnt come out for the second half. Why bother . Boston won by 52. Final score 14088. It is the worst loss of steph currys career. They finish the road trip 31, back at home to face the bucks on wednesday. In college basketball, iowa star caitlin clark, 18 points away from passing Pete Maravich to become the Ncaas Division i alltime leading scorer. No. 6 iowa hosting no. 2 ohio state. And gets within six of the record. Buckeyes called for a tech. Clark sinks both free throws. She passes maravichs record of 3,667 points. Clark, who announced this week, she was leaving for the wnba after the season. Scored 35. Hawkeyes won 9383. Officially, official. Matt chapman is a San Francisco giant. Contract finalized this morning, three years, 54 million. But chapman can opt out after each of the first two seasons. And how about cy young winner, blake snell . Still remains unsigned, the giants seemed to have needed a starting rotation piece. They said, the offseason is really over as far as were concerned. We are more innoutseason mode. Now he either means that or hes continuing the staring contest with scotts agent, and well see who will blink first. We are still a few weeks away and the tournament is nearing an end. The reardon Boys Basketball team still has their name penciled in. They may be just high schoolers, but the reardon Boys Basketball team doesnt play like it. Its unexpected for a regular high school team. Reporter junior richard is referring to the amount of talent the crusaders employee. Something College Coaches have clearly noticed. They have always said youre right up there at the top in 1a, 1b, 1c. Reporter head coach joey curtain says they have seven players who have committed to d1 programs or offers. One of them is st. Marys commit, zion zinsley, who returned for his senior year. I was here my freshman year, and it was an amazing experience. My freshman year, our team went pretty far with a lot of good talent. I wanted to come back to the reardon family and to play High School Basketball again. Reporter stacked is an understatement for their talent. One star, sophomore andrew hillman, who is from cameroon. Hillman is still getting accustomed to america, but he already has seven d1 offers. It may be the school and innout, yeah. Reporter whats your order at innout . Every time, a double, double, animal fries, and a shake. Reporter reardon has not won a state title since 2002. They know a thing or two about that. It means a lot and putting up the state championship means a lot. Every kid has a dream to kind of win history. We have not won it in 2002, so it will be a big time for us, a big time moment. Riordan got a big win on saturday night. And they have committed. That is unheard of in that level of high school. From the bay area. Thank you, matt. Coming up, a small north bay town with a history of flooding mounts a revolt against the county. There is a string of craziness here that needs to stop. The passional debate over local ballot measure that all started with the what do i see in peter dixon . I see my husband. The father of our girls. I see a public servant. A man who served under secretary clinton in the state department. Where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. I see a fighter, a tenacious problemsolver. Who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. Because he sees a Better Future for all of us. Im peter dixon and i approved this message.
