And the wet conditions come just after crews in pacifica cleaned up major storm damage along highway 1. Kpix 5 reporter anne makovec is live in pacifica with more on their concerns. Anne reporter the rain just picked up here along the coast of pacifica. The good news is that highway 1 is reopened this morning. We have several hills and cliffs in the area that are in dangle falling this morning as the ran up continues to fall. Thats what we saw happen yesterday with this mud slide along highway 1 near rain nadel mar. Mud dirt and rocks on the northbound labors and between cleaning up and shoring up the hillside it took almost 25 hours to get the lanes reopened and there arent a lot options for getting around highway 1 unfortunately, so traffic backed up along the peninsula coast all day long. Crews put a concrete barrier between the section of the hillside and the highway to try to prevent another roadblock but preventing the land from sliding is impossible. The ground is saturated and it will be more so by the end of the day so its impossible to know when and where the next landslide might pop up. Live in pacifica, anne makevoc, kpix 5. Crews are keeping an eye on a mud slide in guerneville. It slid down near several homes on santa rosa avenue. Some homes are redtagged and evacuations are in place. The full extent of the damage is unknown at this time. Officials are waiting for daylight to get a closer look. Not far from guerneville, the Russian River hit its highest level yesterday. It had a crest of 35. 2 feet. It destroyed an rv camp. The flooding has been forcing people to clear out of their homes. Some even leaving their cars behind.

A Flood Warning is in effect in napa. The National Weather service says the napa river could rise above flood stage over the next few days. Kpix 5s jackie ward is live to show us how things are looking now. Jackie. Reporter well, michelle, we were on our way to the napa river but we got stuck as we were heading northbound on highway 29 and this is why. A couple of cars are stuck due to flooding. It appears that they got into some kind of accident. We dont have details. We only know that chp is on scene and highway 29 northbound is closed from minnie drive. So the flooding here northbound is more significant than on the southbound side because as you can see, the northbound lanes are lower than the southbound lanes. So there will be flooding here. No one is in the car right now that silver car but over here, in the white van, a passenger is still in the car and appears to be okay. The flooding is obviously just grassy area here. Im already up to my ankles in water so this is significant. Northbound highway will stay closed until the water recedes. Who knows how long that could be . The rain doesnt seem to be coming down too hard right now. But well keep monitoring this area and bring you the latest updates. In napa, jackie ward, kpix 5.

This is our live weather camera looking out to the golden gate bridge. For all of you in the north bay commuting into the city, its raining and windy. We have flash Flood Warnings, watches and advisories you need to know about. It is traffic and weather in less than four minutes. This morning in washington the senate opens hearings on president elect Donald Trumps cabinet nominees. Tonight president obama delivers a farewell address. And tomorrow, trump holds his first News Conference since the summer. For details we turn to our washington insider Marc Sandalow. Good morning. So attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions is before the Senate Judiciary committee today. Any chance for democrats to stop his nomination . Reporter virtually none. Extraordinary moment. It was 31 years ago that Jeff Sessions was rejected by this same committee because of allegations he was a racist and it was the lack of support from his fellow alabama hefflin a former segregationist made it so sessions couldnt get the nomination. Today we are going to have cory booker a black senator from new jersey testifying against sessions which has never happened before. But that said, he is a member of the committee himself Jeff Sessions. He is almost certain to fly through. It also marks the debut of Dianne Feinstein californias senior senator as the ranking democrat. Thats the top democrat on that committee. That means if democrats were ever to take over the senate, she would be chairman of the committee. She has vowed to be tough on him today. Democrats have called for a delay in some confirmation hearings because not all nominees have submitted their paperwork. Do they have a case . Reporter its remarkable how politicians at the top level are able to switch their stripes. Thats a major principle. Mitch mcconnell 8 years ago wrote a letter to Charles Schumer who at that point was the head of the Judiciary Committee saying, were not going to look at any of obamas nominees until you guys do all the paperwork. It would be wrong. We would be cheating the american people. On sunday, mcconnell said, oh, grow up, democrats. You dont need all the paperwork. So schumer i think we have a look at it here simply crossed off the names and the headings and the dates and sent it back to mcconnell saying whats changed in eight years . So they have a case. In fact, just late last night, republicans announced they were going to postpone at least one of the confirmation hearings until next week so all the paperwork can get in. Clearly this is just strategy. Democrats want to stall and republicans want to rush. All right. So lets talk about president obama. What do you think what can we expect to hear from him tonight . Reporter i i i dont know how many times were going to have to use the word extraordinary over the next four years. We are in an extraordinary moment in in history. Obama is going to give a farewell his to his political opponent who campaigned against everything obama stands for is about to be president. Obama has always been good for calling up peoples higher angels. Thats not the word you would use to describe donald trump. So my guess is he will try to talk about all his accomplishments and how the American Dream lives on. Donald trump has been tweeting against meryl streep and schwarzenegger. Will this continue as president . Reporter no sign its going to stop. I just saw an interview with him a couple of years ago, um, um, trump was asked, who do you respect in hollywood . He said, well, Julia Roberts and meryl streep. She is a great actress and a wonderful person. Now he says she is overrated because she insulted him the other night at the golden globes. Well, you know, president elect donald trump is doing this because he knows the more time spent talking about this the less time is spent talking about things like his nominees or possible conflict of interest. No one knows yet whether these are petulant rants in the middle of the night or whether or not this is him as some sort of marketing genius. I dont know. Maybe well figure that out. All right, Marc Sandalow live in washington, dc, thank you. Today history will be made in stockton when the city swears in its youngest mayor. 26yearold Michael Tubbs will be the first black to lead the city.

The chp says its working to open up the two right lanes. And now lets move to the san mateo bridge from hayward to foster city. A slow commute because its very wet out there. You can see the rain coming down pretty hard so from 880 to 101, that will take you about 15 minutes. But i say tackle on a couple of extra minutes because of slowdowns.
