What theyre really worried about is the amount of rain thats going to fall with this storm in this short amount of time and we are seeing puddling in the streets now an indication that its been raining here for quite some time. Now what theyre really concerned about, though, is the coastal bluff down the street from me where they really saw some erosion earlier this year during the el nino storms that forced the city to declare a state of emergency. They also demolished an Apartment Building before it went over the cliff and they redtagged a building. We also saw this seawall breach as well during one of those storms and public works crews say they have those repairs nearly complete. Although they cant control the weather, they say all they can do is stay on top of things. What we have been doing maybe the last three or four months is [ indiscernible ] with the storms monitoring our coastal bluffs along with our seawalls, spillways, making sure theres no debris flow in our streets, that kind of thing. Reporter all right. So what they say they are really concerned about are storms with heavy rain, a storm with heavy rain, or storm after storm, um, that comes through here because they say that is when, um, the ground becomes saturated and thats when they see erosion. But they say throughout this weekend, they are going to have crews on standby. They are going to be working with police and Fire Departments as well just in case something bad happens here.

Golden gate bridge where currently temperatures are balmy. Its muggy as you step on out. You have to remember this first system here has a lot of subtropical influence so its a bit muggy and humid side and will remain that way throughout the day. The winds have not materialized. So thats that bright note with this current storm that we are experiencing at this particular time. North winds at 6 in napa. Flat winds throughout most of the day increasing during the afternoon hours up to 15 Miles Per Hour. We have a chance of a thunderstorm in the forecast. We already saw 250 lightning strikes off the pacifica coast in the overnight hours. Spotty showers this afternoon. Thats about it. Your morning commute will be aversely affected. Cloud cover tonight and more soaking rains. It looks like late Night Saturday into your sunday for rain. But heres the system that we are dealing with right now. This plume of moisture is tapping into subtropical influence over the eastern pacific. So all this activity will continue to lift from the south to the north and eject to the east. Futurecast currently illustrates at lunchtime today we line the coast spotty hit andmiss showers. You have there the evening commute dry and cloudy. Good chance to soak up all the recent rains. And then saturday, it will be mostly cloudy with a few sunny breaks. Rain well to the north. Then it begins to slice through the bay area. This is a cold front.
