Heres the moisture. Were going to get wet, too. We may get a couple of inches, maybe three inches, but were not going to see a foot of rain. Thats in far northern california. Theres the moisture plume. Lets go out 2,000 miles. Lets go out 4,000 miles. This plume extends back across the dateline. It is tapped into a dying typhoon, a major typhoon, and its just got everything you need. This is what a bigtime weather system looks like. The reason most likely that its not impacting the bay area as much, and it will, is that were talking about the jet stream this time of year being a little bit further north, because were still basically fall. The jet stream, if it was kicked a little further south, we would be in for it. Now were in for it but not to the tune of 12 inches. More of the tune of maybe three inches in San Francisco, maybe four or five inches north of santa rosa, then it really unloads right up here. So lets take a look at some of the specifics. Heavy rain starts overnight tonight. Like 3 00 a. M. , 4 00 a. M. Friday morning. Maybe a half inch to three inches. The wind will be significant down here as well. And the morning commute, hammered. Friday morning commute is going to be a wet one. For the next five days, thats a foot of rain. Thats in Crescent City. You get in the hills, up in the trinity alp srksz any kind of pope 0 graphic feature is going to grab this and squeeze it out. You get 11 inches here, youve got 16 inches here. Thats where we are. We still get real rain around here. South of san jose almost two inches of rain. Friday mornings commutes are wet. Well time out the rain cefnt and sigh back here. One of the most worrisome areas, fire zones. After 18 days of flames, cal fire officials now say the loma fire is finally 100 contained. But full containment doesnt mean there arent some hot spots like this one on Loma Chiquita road. Theres a major danger of mud and debris slides since the burnt soil has no vegetation to hold it in place when the forecasted storm arrives overnight. All the dirts been turned up. Weve done all the dozer work, which were grateful, but that creates slush. We call it peanut butter. So were looking to make sure that we get everything notice there are some sandbaggings around the telephone lines and whatnot to make sure they dont come down. Residents whose homes were damaged are busy boarding up. They say a little bit of rain would be great but a downpour could be disastrous. The roads will obviously be pretty wet with the potential for flooding. Alex savidge with the warning of dangerous driving conditions. Reporter well, the chp is bracing for a very busy morning commute tomorrow. The first serious rain weve had here in the bay area since march, and that will certainly mean slick roads and like al whole lot of crashes. This is a look at highway 101 at lucky drive, a spot that always tends to flood when we have rain. Now before you hit the road tomorrow the chp says it is a good idea to check the tire pressure on your car. Also check to make sure your windshield wipers are work properly. And biall means, take it slow. Our biggest recommendation is give yourself time. If the major rain is going to be during the morning commute, then anticipate a slower commute than normal. Allow yourself more time to get to work. Leave earlier if you can. But ultimately, just have patience. Reporter this storm is expected to bring heavy rain and also powerful winds that could bring down trees. Up in mill valley today, Tree Trimmers were out cutting away dead branches so they dont fall down on to pg e power lines. Pg e says it does this work yearround but it is particularly important before a major rainstorm like this one. The utility sleets also be tracking tomorrows storm to make sure that crews are in position and ready to respond in case of outages. So we have a Meteorology Team thats constant monitoring the weather, making sure we know exactly where a storm might be coming through, so we can have the amount of crews in the right locations. I got some things im pulling in from the outside, make sure nothing gets wet, making sure all my windshield wipers and everything is set up. Tires. I mean, i deliver ice cream for a living, so thats the biggest thing, making sure im safe on the road. Reporter at the man at the Manzanita Park and ride, signs are up. This lot tends to flood during storms. Weve also seen homeowners clearing out gutters as well. Since we havent had any significant rain in so long, the chp says a lot of people tend to forget how to drive in wet conditions. Some of their advice, take it a little bit slower and also give yourself plenty of distance between your car and the car in front of you. Inmarin county, alex savidge, ktvu fox 2 news. The campaign trail running through the bay area for one last time for Hillary Clinton before next months election. Thousands waited in line you know San Francisco before heading in to see the democratic president ial nominee. The media was not allowed at todays fundraiser held at the bill grahame Civic Auditorium but lots of supporters were. Tara moriarty in the city where the line to get in stretched hundreds of people deep. Reporter there were so many people, basically the length of four city blocks. This is over the course of more than two hours, just to give you an idea of how many people there were. They were extremely fired up. They did all believe that Hillary Clinton would indeed be the next president of the united states. It began with a surprise visit to Hillary Clintons Campaign Headquarters on van nest avenue. The former secretary of state was presented with a home made picture of herself by the granddaughter of nancy pelosi. Then was on to the bill grahame Civic Auditorium for a lunch. I think this is a really cool opportunity to be able to be a part of something big, and when else can we maybe meet a president. This year is obviously crazy and historic, and in many ways different than anything else thats happened. So i think its a great time to get out there and vote. Reporter the line to get in wrapped around the entire plaza. Im very surprised that the polls are close at all. So hopefully she has this election in the bag. Reporter hillary supporters paid between 45 and 50 grand for a ticket. Every single election people say this is the most important election of a lifetime. I actually think fundamentally this is the most important election potentially in my lifetime. Reporter with the access Hollywood Tape surfacing last week some see this election as a slam dunk for hillary now. Its interesting that all of this drama, people are just waking up to. It all existed before. Its nothing new. We all knew it. For me its kind of a no brainer. I think symbolically to have the first female president would be a huge achievement. We have a young daughter, and we sure hope she wins. Reporter now, you may not have been able to see her leave but you could hear the cheers. This is her last bay area event. She is on her way to los angeles. She is going to do a taping of tell len show, then she will attend a fundraiser dipper in beverly hills, then its on to those key battleground states to try to close the gap before november 8th. Live in San Francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news jiefnlt florida today donald trump strongly denied those allegations that he groped or kissed women against their wishes, and he accused the news media of conspiring against him to elect Hillary Clinton. Weve seen this firsthand in the wikileaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with International Banks to plot the destruction of u. S. Sovereignty in order to enrich these Global Financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors. Four women have come forward in the past 24 hours accusing the republican nominee of sexually harassing them. Today first Lady Michele Obama was among those expressing outrage. This is disgraceful. It is intolerable. And it doesnt matter what party you belong to, democrat, republican, independent. No woman deserves to be treated this way. None of us deserve this kind of abuse. Now, today trump said that he would sue the New York Times over its story. The times said it stands by its reporting. Were going to take a look now at this from time magazine. Now, on the left sits cover from back in august showing Donald Trumps face melting. The caption then read, meltdown. Well, on the slight a cover released just this morning for an upcoming issue, and its a similar illustration with Donald Trumps face in what looks like a puddle with the caption now total meltdown. That new issue is due out october 4th. Well, each candidate seems to be facing their own troubles right now and digging out of some sort of controversy for more. Lets bring in San Francisco chronicles jill garafoley. Lets start with donald trump, the groping allegation. How much do they matter given that audiotape and Everything Else that has happened to this point . They matter in two ways. One is the fact that you and i are talking about now and were not talking about anything else. Thats bad for trump especially sinces behind. He needs to turn this conversation right now where people are really paying attention to the race to something other than these allegations which are universally panned as just horrible. The other thing its starting to make a dent in the polls in places that matter. The philadelphia suburbs, a place which is key to wing pennsylvania, women are flocking to Hillary Clinton. We also see the latest poll in north carolina, a swing state that was very tight and has been tight the last couple of psych cats. Clinton is pulling ahead there. But ohio still tied. Hillary clinton here in california picking up some cash. Michele obama in her place on the campaign trail. Boy in New Hampshire she really ripped interest trump, not using his name, but it was obvious what she was talking about. And the way she did it, she really painted him out to be a despicable person in the way that he treats women. She seems like a pretty good person to put out there, and that message is the one to deliver at this point. Is it not . Arguably she is clintons best surrogate at this point. And what was so powerful about Michele Obamas speech today is that it was spoken like real people terms. What everyone could understand about it. She speaks not only as someone who has achieved great successes in the corporate world and is at the highest levels of the political world, but as a mom and as a sister and as a daughter, and someone with two daughters of her own. And she just between her speech at the convention and her speech today, those are two of the most powerful things that have been said during this campaign so far. Lets switch gears. Harris and sanchez. You have been covering this as well, but, boy, its a race that has a lot at stake, a senate seat, but we just arent hearing a whole lot of a lot about whats going on. Why . Well, for a couple of reasons. Number one, Loretta Sanchez isnt campaigning all that much. She was in the bay area yesterday, and she did a quick round of interviews up here, but for the most part she hasnt ventured far outside of her Orange County home and base. And the reason for that is that she hasnt raised a lot of money. You dont see a lot of commercials on it. Were just starting to see commercials from the harris campaign. They would like to keep it as low key as possible because they have a nice big lead. When you have a nice big lead you like to put it in basketball terms, you go to the four corners offense, pass the ball around to try and waste as much time and burn as much clock as you can. All right, joe, appreciate the insight as always. Thanks. It is always good to be here. Killed in the line of duty. We will tell you about this somber remembrance today for a fallen sheriffs deputy in southern california. Plus, we are getting our first look at a boat that capsized during fleet week festivities. The latest on the investigation coming up next. Some scary moments for students in the east bay as a suspect search forced two schools to be put on lockdown. Sky fox was overhead when police searched the area near spring hill elementary in lafayette. Now, this all started around 10 30 this morning when police in Pleasant Hills chased those two suspects into this area. About an hour later the two men were taken into custody, and that lockdown was lifted. There is no word on what initially started that pursuit. The boat that capsized and sank over the weekend was raised from the bottom of the bay today. This is video from sky fox. San Francisco Police used sonar to locate the 34foot cabin cruiser. 30 people were tossed into the bay on saturday when the boat capsized during fleet week celebrations. Everyone is now out of the hospital and expected to be okay. Police said the boat may have been overloaded. A 25yearold man is now under arrest for allegedly assaulting a Police Officer in san bruno. That officer was responding to a report of a man breaking into a car in the parking lot of the ihop there on El Camino Real just west of sfo. Investigators say that the suspect then tried to run over the officer who was on foot. He has been booked into the San Mateo County jill and is facing felony charges. The man accused of planting bombs in new york and new jersey today pleaded not guilty. Ahmad ray rahimi was arraigned from his hospital bed, charged with attempted murder of a Police Officer. The afghan born u. S. Citizen is accused of detonating a Pressure Cooker bomb on september 17th injuring 31 people and detonating a pipe bomb in new jersey. Rahimi is being held on 5. 2 million bond. Two boston Police Officers who were shot last night while responding to a domestic disturbance call are now out of surgery and listed in critical condition. The gunman was later killed in a wild shootout with other Police Officers. The two wounded officers are veterans of the department. One has been on the force for 28 years, the other for 12 years. The gunman confronted them wearing body armor and firing an assault rifle. It was two males, roommates type disturbance. And again, domestic calls, as you know, are probably the most volatile. You never really know what youre walking into. Now, the suspect was identified as a 33yearold. Neighbors were ordered to stay in their homes as police surrounded him. He was killed in a gun battle with police just after midnight. Well, thousands of Police Officers, officials, and supporters turned out to bid farewell to a hero today. A long procession taking place before the Memorial Service for Sergeant Steve owen, a decorated 29year veteran of the Los Angeles County sheriffs department. He was killed last week in the line of duty while responding to a burglary call.

This years election has definitely been heated. And with all of the discourse, officials are saying more and more people register to vote. Details about the uptick when the four on 2 returns. Afoot and lighthearted i take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. The east and the west are mine. The north and the south are mine. All seems beautiful to me. Early voting in the president ial election is underway here in the bay area and in many states across the country. As ktvus tom vacar reports some areas are expecting a record voter turnout. Reporter at this cafe in alameda theres a slice of americana that happens in thousands of cafes every day. Discussions just as important as breakfast. Though opinions here differ on who to vote for, it seems everyone thinks voting is essential this time. Well, i think more important this time, in my opinion. Reporter why is that . Trump. I dont like trump. Reporter some people say, you know, theyre all the same, it doesnt really matter and all that. Due believe that . Well, he said some mean things about women. Turned me off. Reporter im a Firm Believer that its our duty and right to vote, and we should all get out there and do it and try to persuade which way this ends up. Otherwise its going to be the same old same old. This is the year that everything changes. Reporter everyone seems to agree that this election is like no other. Its pretty crazy right now. But i think its pretty clear. Im not going to say anything too much. But i think we need to get out and vote. And then you look at the National Election for the presidency, the highest seat in the land, and its just garbage what theyre doing to each other. This isnt politics. This is fighting. The most bizarre election ive ever witnessed. Reporte
