Of scene but they did let all those cars out theyve been able to move on down highway one on southbound but its blocked right now to the public from about a mile and a half back up north of manor drive and that is because their system theres a lot of debris up here and then theres also the corners coming in right now as we spe, its very windy up here and as you know if youve ever driven to pacific of where im standing right now is that curve where you start to see the beach in pacifica and then you go down thats exactly where im standing and is completely shut so they is estimated to be about an hour but i would put it that more than maybe that maybe hour to 2 hours so stay tuned, were going to keep an eye on this they are towing the suv involved then they are goi g to take that evidence and then take the other car involved told that out here and that is when ey will be able to reopen for now im live in pacifica Sarah Stinson back to you all right, thanks. A lot sarah. All right lets get right to the Traffic Center continue our Team Coverage of this robin what are you saying well for people heading south on highway one it is already stocking up behind the scene theyre just going to force you off at 35, which is right before you get to that man or drive exit or are just after 2. 80 so bad is your best alternate if you have to use southbound one this morning just stick with state route 35 you can use that to continue along the coast or to the peninsula or you can take southbound 2. 80 depends on you your final destination what youre most comfortable with, but it looks like theyre still no exact estimated time as to when traffic is going recovering, theyll get this out of the way if youre heading north at last check they were letting northbound traffic get through but you can definitely see the activity so do expect delays in both directions. It is a windy i felt the winds driving across the bay bridge james fell to 2. You need to slow it down out there, although its not pouring down rain right now you may think oh its going to find trip coming in there was a special high wind advisory warning folks to slow it down on the bay bridge, especially you motorcyclists especially folks driving bans in large trucks and highprofile vehicles you want to drive at a reduced speed also for the richmond sandra fell theres a high wind advisory in place there as well a nice steady flow so far 11 minutes into San Francisco, which is great will check more bridges coming up john yeah, robin for early risers its definitely the winds that is causing you problems as youre making your way into work not so much the rain just yet as we do remain dry across the bay area at this time looking outside you can see just how clear those conditions are looking across the bay definitely some cloud cover overhead but thats not interrupting your commute just yet just to slow it down because of those winds, some light showers right along highway, one north the santa cruz and then also seeing some offshore showers on the peninsula zooming in on the north bay what we do have is now widespread rainfall on one oh one once you head nor of santa rosa areas of moderate rainfall in fact right around santa rose itself, the showers are moving to the northeast right now you can see them pushing on into the north coast and eventually this rainfall this frontal boundary is going to send in the bay area. Having much more of an impact on or later commuters though then you early risers watching right now this is 07 30am orange in red indicating that heaviest of rainfall right there on our doorstep making its way into the bay, especially come 8 to 09 00am looks like 09 00am. Well have the heaviest of rainfall for the peninsula, the north bay and the east bay with hours after that bringing the heavier rainfall to areas further inland in the east bay and in the south bay snowfall in the mountains above san jose and feet of snowfall up in the Sierra Nevada falling as low as 3,000 feet in elevation by the time we moved to one 15 pm is still a few areas of heavy rainfall sitting right across the bay bridge. Its looking like. But skies after that generally do clear out spotty showers in between times of sunshine on into the afternoon so a very active morning is ahead of us. This is having a later impact than initially anticipated though, and that is good news for you most of our commuters as well roadways should calm down somewhat by the time some of this heaviest of rain gets here. We are seeing those winds as robin and everyone else has been mentioning Oakland Hayward half monday santa rosa, currently looking at some strong winds if you are making your Bridge Crossings you are definitely susceptible to seeing some of those peak wind gust so watch that San Francisco and oakland seeing winds regularly gusting as high as 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour now temperatures are a lot more mild than yesterday theres a positive upper 40s to low 50s oaklandalameda hayward concord each in the low 50s while berkeley dublin and the upper 40s for you this morning taking a look at where will be headed this afternoon eventually some clearing going on afternoon itself Morning Hours though definitely rainy id recommend against too much travel if you can avoid it this morning.

You dont see any sandbags in fact as soon as i say that you know you can see the sandbags off in the distance right there next to the tarp so you can clearly see they are veterans of flooding and some places are ready to go if you dont see the sandbags in front of the stories, im sure the sandbags are inside because this is one of the standard equipment.

That with the occasional down tree or branch there could be an unexpected outage in your area so just be prepared for that in the meantime state lawmakers are pushing for changes following those planned power shut off that we saw during the fire season, theres a proposal now that would require Utility Companies like pg need to pay customers for intentional power shutoffs the measure they say would put a system in place to y to bring some balance to the intentional blackouts that interrupt the lives of millions of californians last fire season. Its about giving utilities incentive to use planned blackouts as ace as a scalpel and not as a sledgehammer the governor and the pea you see are working closely. To develop certain metrics around the future blackouts or power shutoffs that were were seen and i think thats where this issue needs to be addressed. So the bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations committee and if its passed there, it could be considered in the coming weeks by the ullbody pg e and other you to be surprised to hear are opposed to the bill. They say it could discourage them from using what they consider to be a very important safety measure. 5 10 3 days away from the nfc championship game at levis where the 49 ers are going take on the green theyve had the clock is ticking.

And a tense scene of the Water Treatment plants there the National Weather service actually says the radar is going be approving the weaer forecasting for extreme weather. And events like that the project was funded by 20 million grant from the state department of Water Resources and eventually theres going to be a network of 5 of these kinds of radars all around the bay area which should have of that that we should give us a better. Look at some of the intense weather that as it rolls room. Raiders always better as it rolls through like a little more will it improve the forecasting to youre not that you dont get it right on it bay area is actually tough with radars because he so many of france that can really interrupt a radar signal. So the more you have the better coverage of kaye and the more rain will be get today. See all the rain and so much more high fidelity so what is it arriving, its definitely for early commuters at the beginning of the week i was talking all 04 00am and then yesterday i was like 7 or 8 and even stalled out a little bit sense that raise going into work rights acts thats actually good news. Yes, definitely because by the time the heaviest of rainfall is coming in a lot of you will already be in your offices, hopefully nice and warm and looking at it outside the window you look outside of San Francisco showing hey some really good conditions right now we are dry, but we are windy that is what youre encountering as you make your Early Morning commute rainfall has settled into the north bay so for those of you in Sonoma County i are encountering some lighter showers at the moment starting to see a few up in marine county to zooming out this is that line of rainfall right here that is eventually going to push on into the bay area right now its just sitting right to our west. But it is going to make its impact future cast to show you hour by hour was about to happen so this is 7. 45. I am right here. Some showers are now up in the Santa Cruz Mountains by this point up in marine and sonoma coties in northern app and county as well. Heaviest of rain the orange and red begins to work its way on into the bay, it looks like around 08 39am towards 10 00am thats what were expecting the greatest impact from our heaviest of rainfall also a company that this time buyer strongest of winds do expect some small stream flooding, especially up in the north bay are smaller streams are more prone to swelling of water and then you also are expecting ponding of water on roadways. The good news about the timing of this morning storm is it did stall out so moving in nice and slow as we make our way through the morning as opposed to rushing in in the midst of your morning commute by noontime we do have some moderate shower Activity Holding on in areas like San Francisco. But afternoon we start to see some sunshine reappearing and then between those areas of sunshine some isolated spots of rainfall just here and there nothing like the rain were seeing this morning then come tomorrow, some cloudy skies but some drier conditions friday much better travel conditions on friday and that is especially true for the sierra which is under a winter storm warning today were going to see multiple feet of snowfall at our highest of elevations and snow as low as the foothills of the Sierra Nevada so not a good day to be up in the sierra as for rainfall totals in the bay area could see well over an inch in most of that falling between now and noon time today lot of rain in a very short period of time daytime highs cooler than yesterday as the cost of the week in fact 52 in Hayward Fremont oakland conquered in vallejo while 51 in livermore for the high today temperatures into the day tomorrow will be a little bit warmer so little bit more sunshine, definitely drier conditions but dont rule out a sprinkle or 2 saturday and sunday look to be dry for game day weekend and sunday, the game itself and as far as tuesday of next week goes that next best chance of significant rain robin all right. Thank you john still tracking delays on highway one for those of you who travel up and down the coast.

We have all lanes shut down southbound one at manor drive to investigate this fatal crash. A person was driving in the wrong direction heading north on the southbound side and the driver did not survive so the corner house arrived to the scene crews are still clearing out all the debris and traffic is crawling in the southbound direction. So if youre looking for an alternate just hop over to 35 you can use 35 as an alternate you can stick with 2. 80 and head south along the peninsula the northbound traffic is getting through and no reports of any major delays going north that well stay on top of it a busy commute into San Francisco. We have a line here cash lanes fast track lanes all stacked up its spilling beyond 8. 80 over crossing so already a slow commute and a windy commute into San Francisco. Theres a high wind advisory on the bay bridge will fill those winds when driving across 12 minutes to fremont street richmond sandra fell high wind advisory issued here by chp so make sure youre driving at a reduced speed, the travel looks good alright, no delays to worry about 7 minutes for you to the north bay highway for 6. 80 the nimitz and one oh one all nice and
