New problems. We have Team Coverage and team bay Area Coverage bob redell has coverage on the clean up. Lets star with meteorologist kari hall tracking the storm. It looked like it was weakening. Now what . We are still expecting a weakening storm as we get a live look outside at san jose. And temperatures are still very chilly with these clear skies. And i want to show you storm ranger is parked on San Bruno Mountain scanning around the bay area. Nothing on the radar as of yet. But as we open up the picture, we do start to see some of the showers across far northwestern california and the pacific northwest. We will continue to monitor this as it rolls down the coast, but this will indeed be a much dryer storm and it continues to weaken as it moves closer. So, this one not originating out there in the pacific. Its not tapping into any subtropical moisture so thats one of the things that well see different from this storm from the ones that weve seen previously. Only expecting some spotty light showers heading into late tonight, early tomorrow morning. And we will only see mostly cloudy skies, some light rain heading into saturday as well as sunday. Looking terrain fall potential reaching up to a quarter of an inch, much improved weather conditions and storm track as we head into the next couple of days. More on this and what else to expect, its coming up in the full microclimate forecast. First the floods and now all of the muddy mess thats left behind, some of it toxic. This morning a massive clean up effort is still underway. It is just the beginning of what is going to be a long and tedious journey, both for the crews that are trying to clean up this mess and the folks whose homes were affected. Nbc bay areas bob redell is live in san jose. Thousands and thousands of people, bob. Snoob good morning to you, kris. Finally here in the rock springs neighborhood, the water is going back to where it belongs. Right back into coyote creek. Youre looking at the end of a pump line here, the city of san jose has been pumping round the clock water out of this neighborhood. If you look at the debris there on that chain link fence you can see how high the water came up during the flood earlier this week. This was one of the hardesthit neighborhoods, but because of the round the clock pumping as you walk out here onto rock springs road, one of the main streets in this neighborhood, you could see that the water was removed. But what remains is that mud. Its mud mixed with sewage. This neighborhood will remain under a mandatory evacuation until workers are able to scrape up this muck. The city is able to inspect these homes, and pg e is able to restore power and gas. Some residents, however, are refusing to wait and have already come back to see whats left of their homes. The couch for hugh lee sat countless hours soaked with water, relegated to one of the dumpsters on rork springs drive. Waterlogged and worthless. Lee doesnt know how he is going to replace these items on just his wifes paycheck that also must cover a 1600 monthly rent. No money, no buy everything. Reporter the water came so fast on tuesday, lee didnt have time to move the familys three cars that ended up submerged in a few feet of water. Inside his first floor apartment, he and his two sons scamibled to raise their possessions. But when it came time to make their own escape we opened the door, we see the water go up, we cant go inside outside. The water up here. Reporter lees two sons sat on top of the dining room table while the three of them waited for an hour for rescue by boat. Lee doesnt know when it will be safe for his sons to return. I talked to him, no come back. Thats me, everything no good. Reporter and these are people who live a krog cross from lees home who are trying to clean up their parking lot that was covered with water. If you look at the water line, its hard to see, but we know it crossed the threshold. These, remember, are a lot of the homes that needed rescuing by boat. Now, the homes closest to center road which is to my right, they could be released back to their homeowners, to the renters by the end of today, tomorrow. This according to the san jose he fire department. The ones closer to coyote creek, im talking about this part of the rock springs neighborhood, it could be a number of days. The issue is a cityrun sanitation pump, a sewer pump that is broken that needs to be replaced or repaired. And its just a matter of getting that fixed so again the San Jose Fire Department saying it could be a number of days. Reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, nbc bay area news. Im sure those folks just anxious to get back in their home. Bob, thank you very much for that update. Heres the latest evacuation map. The city of san jose released this on its website last night. A bit of a change in the last 24 hours. The red, again, shows you the areas that are under mandatory evacuation orders.

Rick, a press conference just finished where you are. What are you learning about the Recovery Efforts here . Good morning. Reporter well, were learning so far that this all happened by a man who was walking his dog down a trail along the Alameda Creek and he looked over and he noticed something a little bit different, and thats when he contacted police who contacted the Alameda County Sheriffs Department. Thats when they say that they then went into the water and jenkins was then discovered. She disappeared after crashing her car in niles canyon last month. Investigators say the recent storms, though, may have played a role in her discovery. It is believed the swollen creek moved her downstream and more visible and as of now deputies say it does not appear to be foul play. There is nothing that would indicate that there was any foul play, that this is a tragic accident with a lot of unforeseen circumstances due to weather that has made this tr l tragedy go on. Reporter and the family of jenkins just released a statement in the past ten minutes. They say that they are relieved of this information, and now they as a family can now have closure. Were live in san leandro, rick boone for today in the bay. Okay, rick, thank you very much. Lets shift gears here and talk some politics. Today President Donald Trump spoke at the cpac conference earlier this morning. Nbc bay areas jay gray reports, he committed the following through on key Campaign Promises while criticizing the opposition. I wouldnt miss a chance to talk to my friends. These are my friends. But a year ago the cpac was not filled with friends. Candidate donald trump skipped the event after a strong poll showed only 15 of the group supported his campaign. Usa, usa. Reporter now the political conservative action conference is embracing trump and his movement. The likes of which actually the world has never seen before. Theres never been anything like this. Reporter the president outlined what has been a Controversial White House agenda, touching on health care and tax reform, new Foreign Trade initiatives, energy, immigration and border security, insisting a wall between the u. S. And mexico is on the way. In fact, its going to start soon, way ahead of schedule. Reporter a day after saying he would grow the American Nuclear arsenal, the president vowed to strengthen the entire military. Nobody will dare question our military might again. Reporter the president closing by calling on a higher power. As long as we have faith in each other and trust in god, then there is no goal at all beyond our reach. Reporter he continue to reach out to a changing conservative base. That was jay gary reporting from cpac. Up next at 11 00, outrage after an officer opened fire with his gun on a group of teenagers. The fall out that that officer could now face. Plus more worries this morning about drones and airplanes. Well take a look at the latest numbers coming up in business and tech. So many folk were asking how they could help during the coyote creek flooding and the mayor just put together an event, a clean up event for folks to help. You can do that today and tomorrow. Posted information on our facebook page, but this little bit of rain that were going to get, its not going to be a catastrophe, but its going to be really difficult for those folks trying to move in and out. Thats what we were just talking about. Its more of a nuisance rain, something as youre out and about and trying to move things in and out of the house and cleaning up, we are going to have some light rain coming down throughout the weekend. Mostly for tomorrow morning and then again on sunday afternoon. As we get a live look outside now, it is all dry, clear, weve had some chilly temperatures. Right now in San Francisco were up to 52 degrees. So, after that very cold start we are making it now into the lower 50s, also 51 degrees in oakland with some sunshine. And we are at 50 degrees in napa, 52 once again in San Francisco, santa rosa a 48 degrees, and san jose now at 52 degrees. So, as we go through the day, going to continue to see those temperatures making it into the mid to upper 50s. So, rising just a few more degrees from where we are now. But this is much cooler than average. We are going to see the high in belmont, up to 56 degrees, and 53 degrees in the mission district, and for the north bay up to 54 degrees, in santa rosa, mill valley, 52. We are also watching the vez vor levels especially Anderson Reservoir, where the coyote creek flows out of. And it is still at 102 of capacity. But it looks like based on the current levels, we are expecting it to stop spilling over the reservoir by tomorrow night, into early sunday morning. So, the exact timing of that is not certain, but we are expecting some very light rain that shouldnt aggravate things even more. And storm ranger will be tracking this storm system as we head into the weekend. Right now we have it parked on San Bruno Mountain and it is picking up on dry conditions for us as of now. But this storm system to the north of us will be sliding down the coast and with this originating farther to the north it will be a dryer system and its also very cold. So, not going to see much moisture in this as well. So, expect the spotty light rain to start out early tomorrow morning in the north bay, moving to the south and even during the afternoon we could still see some light rain moving through, a break saturday night into early sunday before the rain returns, and once again, this next round as well does not look very strong. So, with the two storm systems this weekend, we are looking at the potential of, most spots, less than a tenth of an inch, up to a quarter of an inch farther to the north. If you are planning to head to the sierra, it is going to be very cold. There will be some additional light snow, and well talk about how much coming up in the next microclimate forecast. Kris and sam . All right, thank you, kari. New at 11 00, were learning two men are recovering after they were shot in the streets of San Franciscos bay view district. This happened at 6 00 on ban croft avenue, not far from the Martin Luther king, jr. , pool. Officers responding to reports of a shooting, found the victims suffering from several gunshot wounds. Both were treated at s. F. General. Both are expected to survive, but the shooting remains under investigation. Kris, were learning that criminal charges could still be filed in the wake of an ugly incident involving an offduty l. A. P. D. Officer. Here is what happened. All right. Weve seen that earlier this week. Thats the incident causing protests down in los angeles right now. It shows an offduty Police Officer grappling with a teen, or i should say grabbing the teen was the group that he was with, the offer certificate says, trampled on his lawn. When more teens got physical with the officer he says he jrue his gun and we know fired a shot into the ground. Investigators say it is alleged the 13yearold boy made a threat against the officer that led the officer to believe that he was going to shoot him. The teen was arrested along with another, and the officer is on leave right now. Police are actually guarding his house. People vandalized that property during a protest yesterday and police say 23 protesters were arrested, 18 of them juveniles. You see them lining up in protest there in that video from over the night. They say the officer believed the teen was threatening to shoot him. A new investigation prompted by a series of nbc bay area reports into the health and safety of children in Santa Clara County. The Child Abuse Council is now investigating the department of family and childrens services. We first uncovered concerns in the wake of several incidents that left a child badly abused. The Investigative Unit also exposed what employees called a toxic Work Environment that has led to high turnover. Weve learned that in the past two years the agency lost 110 social workers and right now struggling to fill 42 social worker vacancies. I need that social worker there, and if they are so overwhelmed because there is so much going on, its really not in the best interest of the child. Is this an agency in crisis . I wouldnt say that its an agency in crisis. I would say that its an agency that is aware that vacancy and turnover are huge issues, aware of the consequences of that. The Department Director declined to be interviewed, but said her goal is to, quote, build a strong infrastructure to meet federal and state performance outcome measures. Tonight leaders of the Child Abuse Council explain why they are investigation is different and how it could lead to real reform. We investigate tonight at 11 00. If you have a tip for Investigative Unit, give us a call at 800996tips. Or send us an email to the unit at nbcbayarea. Com. The stock markets have been on some kind of a kick in recent weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial average has a tensessionlong streak of record highs. That could be in jeopardy today, though. The dow has dropped 51 points. Business and tech news now. The faa updated list of drone sightings made by pilots in the bay area. Scott mcgrew says dont call thats right. No question drones and airplanes in the same space is dangerous and it is particularly worrisome those drone pilots are flying their drones where they shouldnt. But in many cases what were hearing about are simple reports of drones. Pilots letting the tower know theyve seen a drone. No further action taken, just, hey, be advised i saw a drone. Though in two cases the pilot said it also might have been a birthday balloon. When you look at the south bay, the area around reid hill view saw the most in the time spanning february to september of last year. Thats what the report covers. Generally small private planes use reid hill view. One of the pilots there did claim a drone strike, but again, the faa has never found evidence thats the case. There was also a sighting by a small plane pilot of a drone just south of the Golden Gate Bridge. That is a nofly zone for drones period. Its illegal to fly drones near airports, even if youre flying it in your own backyard. And its not legal to fly them near the shore of the Golden Gate Bridge either. There are several apps you can download that will read your coordinates where you are and tell you if its okay to fly from that spot. Lockheed martin is making changes in sunnyvale. The company will move 650 jobs from its Space Systems division in sunnyvale to colorado and florida. People working on lockheeds navy missile Ballistic Program will move. Its not a layoff, its a move, keep in mind. Lockheed says the move which could take as long as eight years will help the company save money. Just a short time ago this morning, jcpenney announced it would close 140 more stores. Pennies has been suffering from the same problems other anchor stores have had, fewer people at the mall, more people using the internet. Now, there is not a list of whether the store near you is closed yet. We do expect to get that in march. Back to you. All right, scot
