We are standing on northbound 101. This is in between the 680 and 280 interchange, and 880. You are not getting on to this highway, which is really going to be a struggle for people who are trying to evacuate just to find out that 101 cannot be part of their escape route. Both directions shut down. Southbound traffic is being diverted to 880. This alum rock onramp, the mckee onramp all shut down. This is because of the coyote creek. That is where the flooding is coming from. They made the decision to shut this down around 8 00 last night. They dont know when its going to reopen. No eta as of right now. So, do not count on this area for your morning commute, possibly your afternoon commute as well. Reporting live in san jose, Amy Hollyfield, abc7 news. Amy, thank you.

Good morning, yeah, we can see this closure on one of our Traffic Cameras here. This is 101 at 880. Heres the southbound side of traffic on 101. You can see those cones up there being forced off on to 808 as amy just described there so these folks you see coming northbound have gotten on the onramp at 880 so it is a major stretch of 101 that is closed. Where youre seeing that purple between 880 and the 280 680 split, thats where we have all lanes open. Northbound seeing a backup there. Little bit of good news, though, i want to sprinkle this in too. Northbound 101 as fully opened in morgan hill in the coyote area so the flooding has resided there and all lanes are back open.

Theres going to be fog developing in other areas because the ground is saturated. Let me focus on the newest news out of coyote creek.

Current flood stage, 11. 5 feet. Lets see what its going to do as far as later on this afternoon. By noon, its down to 11 feet, by 4 00, its down to 10. 6 but flood stage is 9 feet so its going to stay above flood stage and roll from south to north across this area you see shaded in green so places like evergreen, san jose, and milpitas could flood now all the way through friday morning.
