And isolated snow showers and high elevation snows here would not surprise one bit. Some areas gets the rain, as you can see. There are not heavy showers here. More light rain now than maybe moderate on the peninsula. But youre not done yet. Still a ways to go. A lot of this is taking aim, but the very strong low, you get a good look at it there, its called vertically stacked. It has low pressure at all levels of the atmosphere. Its ban long time since weve seen that. That has to go paralegal to the coast. If it zigs instead of zags, that will keep us in a pattern, but its too close to not say so, so well keep shower activity if there, and some thunderstorms still for another day or two. 6 02, and the traffic is . Moderate. We do have some slow traffic out there, steve. Thank you very much. We are looking a at commute that is going to be busy out there, as we hid out to the morning drive. Bay bridge is backed up to the maze, a little wet at the toll plaza. It looks like a lot of people there are, 20, 25 minute delay. Once you make it on to the bridge, it looks good. No problem for the car pool lanes. I want to mention highway 13, some something is causing flat tires in that area. A sig alert has been issued for you to be careful on 13 near highway 4, and just be care there will. You might want to think about just staying on 24, and using 580, just to be on the ultrasafe side. Lets move the maps over to novato, because highway 37 once again because of the storms over the weekend closed between attarton avenue, and highway 101 there, and we dont know when its going to reopen, but right now traffic is not getting through. Youre going to have to go back to using the alternate routes they had last time when this happened, a couple of weekends at the storms. This is northbound 280, and right there it looks okay, getting up to highway 17. At 6 03, lets go back to the desk. As steve has been telling us, were expecting more rain later after the weekend storm that caused a lot of problems around the bay area. In lafayette, a big tree smashed down on to five cars right outside of a restaurant. Ktvus al ihrams explains that it is lucky no one was hurt. Reporter thats right. Look at this giant tree that came crashing down on to the parking lot in lafayette at a restaurant. If i stand next to it, it will give you a better perspective of exactly how wide the base of this tree is. I estimate anywhere between 10 to 15 feet wide. We dont know how old or tall this free was, but luckily the restaurant is right there, to the left of your screen. This tree fell away from the building. There were people inside the restaurant when this happened during the heavy rainfall last night, but luckily no one was hurt. Again, it fell on to the parking lot, and according to the officials who came and responded out here, there was no one in those cars in the parking lot. So nobody was hurt in all of this. People who live nearby heard the crash yesterday evening when this all happened. They ran out to see what had occurred. It sounded like a bolt of lightning to me. I mean, it was explosive. Reporter a huge crash. Oh, just massive, massive. Taking a look back out here live, there is a mass bive cleanup effort that will be underway later this morning. Were told it could take as long as two days to break apart and chop up and clear up this mess, this tree that had fallen on to the parking lot. Were told anywhere from 5 to 10 cars were damaged in this, but it is really hard to tell because all of the branches, all of the leaves and the tree trunk is so massive, its just blanketing the parking lot. We could see three cars under some of the debris, but there could be more underneath it, but we know those cars pretty badly damaged, probably totaled, so later today is when theyre going to start cleaning all of this up. Now, i have to point out, though, the smell is very distinct out here, mills like eucalyptus, that menthol smell out here, but pretty impressive to see a tree of this size topple over into a parking lot. And its wild to think it could have fallen the other way, towards the restaurant. I mean, that tree is just incredible. That tree is right next to a restaurant. Yeah, thanks, al developing news in the sierra where two cars were caught the path of an avalanche. It is the same area where there was an extreme avalanche warning over the weekend. It forced highway 89 to be closed between Alpine Meadows and tahoe city. The chp posted these photos on facebook. That slide was 200 feet wide, 12 feet high. The good news is no one was hurt. People are being told to stay any high alert, though, because of the risk of avalanches. Experts say this is the highest snow level the sierra has seen in 20 years. In some areas, the snow is piled up so high, it has reached all the way to the freeway overpasss. That has led to several highway closures. Strong winds in some areas, reached 154 miles per hour. That forced several ski resorts to shut down during parts of the weekend. If you are planning a trip to the sierra, chains are required at this point. And for the second time in a week, highway 37 in novato is closed because of flooding. After saturday nights rain, the highway flooded in the same area that caused a closure last week. One customer got stuck in the deep water, was rescued, but the car it was still. The chp said there is nowhere for the water to go. There is so much water actually going over some of the levees, so right now, really what we have to wait for to do is allow this water to subside a little bit, so that we can start pumping and getting some of this water out of there. As long as its coming over the levees, though, we cant do anything. Anything. Right now, theres no estimated time for it to reopen. Time is now 6 07. United Airlines Planes are flying again.
