Sergio is live in mill valley with a look at the warnings and the preparations. Sergio . We have noticed there are already quite a few Business Owners who have their sandbag filled and ready next to their doors in case these storms do cause some had fluing. Cause some flooding. By late evening there were light sprinkles throughout the marin county community, but this is a storm that is expected to deliver a sustained soaking of the region and clearly quite a few Business Owners have heeded calls to be prepared. We saw plenty of places with sandbags set up or they were packed and ready to put in place. Preparation is key. You dont want to do this when the rain comes. You need to do it before. We have seen a lot of people preparing just in case. At the san rafael fire station residents can help themselves to sand and sandbags. The battalion chief says they havent had to deal with any major floods so far this season, but they are ready. Generally it happens when we get back to back to back storms. The rain causes us some flames, but so far that hasnt been the case. Maybe this week. They are warning residents to prepare for the coming storms. The Police Department issued an advisory about forecasted strong winds and rain over the next several days. They are asking residents to get ready for extended commutes and other weatherrelated issues. And as drew mentioned, the more severe storms are expected over the next few day and authorities are reminding residents that there are still plenty of sandbags and time to prepare for those coming storms.

Developing news now and everyone knew changes were coming for the 49ers and tonight the ax came down on the head coach. Abc7 news sports anchor and former 49er joins us and this was a matter of time. Did you expect it so soon . I dont think anybody did. We all knew changes had to be made. He was either a great actor or the last guy to find out he was getting relieved of his duties. Sources are reporting that he let his players know before the firing and that could have only happened during the coachs post Game Press Conference. He didnt have a chance to succeed with this roster and who would have turned down 14 million and over four years to take on the challenge. He was being a good member by letting him go. They had to make a change at the top and this will filter down throughout the staff also. In todays game late Fourth Quarter and he decided to punt instead of go for a gamewinning 54yard field goal in regulation. Gutless in some circles and sums up these rein as head coach. After the game when asked about his job security. I have not talked to ownership. I havent had any conversations of the such. I wouldnt expect to until the seasons over. What i would like to say to everybody is im not gonna make this about jim and me and jims job status here today. The 49ers released this statement from jed york. We all know he is a man of high character and his contributions on the field and in our community have been greatly appreciated. This entire organization is proud and grateful to have worked so closely alongside jimmy. We all wish he and his family Great Success in the future. Meanwhile the fans at the 49er game could see this move coming. I think he is one of those coaches that could just use a little bit more training. Change coaches. We need a new one. We need harbaugh back or montana he would be an excellent coach. Well, she wanted jim harbaugh back and the former 49er coach who was fired on the final game of last season had this to say on twitter. Do not de sis seifed. You will reap what you so. What you sew. A not so subtle dig. When you fire a coach you better have someone in mind to replace him. The names being thrown around are saints head coach payton and eagles coach chip kelly and you have to put stanfords david shaw on the wish list. They will speak to the team at 9 00 a. M. And the media at 10 30. We will be there and have live updates throughout the day. Is a you mentioned, i think we knew this might be coming, but not this soon. Thanks a lot.

A watermain break has flooded some homes. Arlington avenue is where we find lilian kim with the latest. Lilian . Air eric, the east bay mud crews are here repairing the broken watermain. It ruptured sending water to four properties. Gushing water in an instant and coming from a broken cast iron pipe installed 71 years ago. For one hour the section of arlington avenue looked more like a river. The water made its way down the block and on to several properties. It was extremely shocking. I never thought so much water could come cascading down the hill at once. He got the worst of it. His entire house was flooded. The water even seeped through his light fixtures. Other homeowners saw the water entering the crawlspaces and making a muddy yeses sh a muddy mess of their yards. Firefighters say the nearby hayward fault may be a factor. A number of these homes have the dirt that shifts on it. The watermain, a lot of these have been in the ground for a longtime. East bay mud says because of the Ground Movement some places are monitored with acoustic devices to find leaks. It is unclear if that was used here. Nevertheless they are replacing 10 miles of pipe per year, but the goal of quad drew quadrupling that in seven years. We will see if they can really do what needs to be done to stop it happening again. Until then, homeowners will be documenting the damage and filing claims. They are counting on east bay mud to reimburse them as they have done in the past. Abc7 news.

But as we widen out the picture, the scene this evening and overnight will be steady light showers. Thats what we are seeing in the north bay from roanoke park and down to novato and san rafael. Even into the east bay vallejo with some light showers out there. Even into oakland we did have some light showers move through there about 15 minutes ago. You notice as we zoom into the street level it looks like peaked moppet on live doppler piedmont is seeing drizzle. As we widen out the picture and show you the south bay, we are dry. We have overcast skies. We will be in and out of the light showers overnight and first thing tomorrow morning. Along with the light showers it is rather mild out there. We are so used to having the cold nights. Not going to be the story. Mid40s to low 50s. 50 in oakland and San Francisco. 45 in san ramon and fair field is coming in at 45 degrees. This is a one on the storm impact scale. It looks like the heaviest of the rain is right along the coast. As we go hour by hour early tonight and tomorrow morning 3 00 on the time stamp. You have these light showers over us and they will continue through the morning rush. So it is a good idea to tune into mike nico. He will be tracking the light showers working through tomorrow. As we get you back to work and school you will need the wet weather gear. We will have scattered showers out there, but it will be rather mild. Look at these starting temperatures above freezing in the low 40s to the lower 50s. And then our next storm moving in late on monday, this will be a stronger storm. This will be a two on the storm impact scale. It will have heavier rain and winds gusting 20 to 40 Miles Per Hour at times. Future weather picks it up monday evening at 6 00. Likely we are tracking scattered showers out there. The main activity will come late monday night. 10 00, here come the heavier showers. By midnight early Tuesday Morning this is when the winds will gust near 40 Miles Per Hour along with the heavy downpours. By Tuesday Morning we will likely see damp spots. The main event is pretty much out of here. We have a chance of showers by tuesday afternoon. In terms of total rainfall over the two storms i think three quarters to about an inch and a half of rain is likely across the region. We can see is set up for a longer period of time and could see close to two inches of rain. We have a winter storm watch in affect for the sierra monday into tuesday. We are likely seeing four to eight inches of snow around the lake level. Our highest peek is one to two feet of fresh powder by tuesday night.
