20-24 rain coming down across the bay area and we are not done yet, as the sierra sees some much needed snow and our coastlines could be in for more damaging surf. good evening, i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. that rain is still coming down tonight and more showers are on the way tomorrow. >> yeah, we are currently in the midst of a level one storm on our abc seven exclusive storm impact scale, but even with that, we still saw those brief heavy downpours. today we did. >> let's touch base with abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel tracking it for us tonight. sandy. yeah. >> and dan, right now we are still seeing some brief heavy rain. so let's get you right into live doppler seven. and

let's talk about where it is coming down the south bay. got soaked tonight. right now it is moving across morgan hill, heading out towards 101 leavesley road into gilroy. we have seen some downpours in the north bay as well. from fairfax to mill valley, miller avenue, muir beach, you are getting some pockets of heavier rain. there is a flood advisory for sonoma county until 11:15 p.m. some of the smaller creeks have already seen flooding, and that flooding has translated onto the roadways as well. so that's not out of the question. as we look at the east bay livermore five 8-80 steady rain around concannon boulevard, widening the picture here and that area of low pressure associated with the cold front that is now inland is still coming. and that cold front is what we're keeping an eye on because there is still instability with this upper level low that is moving in our direction. certainly snowing in the sierra. and as we go hour by hour, still some scattered pockets of heavy rain for the morning commute between 5 and 630 could even see some

thunderstorms as we head into 9 a.m. a few more showers, winds right now gusting sustained. i should say 35. diablo oakland hills, 26 miles an hour. it's a level one through tomorrow morning with those scattered downpours, gusty winds, slight chance of thunder, rough and dangerous surf beginning to develop and look at this. hello winter! it is snowing heavily right now in the sierra nevada. this is a live view from zephyr cove. i'll be back with a full look at that forecast, including a warning coming right up. >> dan okay, sandy, thanks a lot. let's stay up in tahoe for a moment. snow is really coming down tonight around the tahoe area. this is what it looked like in state line on the south shore. 8-80 has turned into a real mess. westbound traffic is being held at applegate because of spinouts. those headed east need chains starting at cisco go on highway 50. chains are required uh- one and a half miles west of kyburz to myers, the sierra needs all the snow it can get though, so this is good news today. snow survey revealed the snowpack is just 235% of its historical average for this time

of year. >> we'll get ready for more of this. you are looking at the view from sky seven earlier today over pacifica, and the waves will be bigger tomorrow. the national weather service issued a high surf advisory starting tomorrow at 4 a.m. through thursday morning for waves between 19 and 23ft. while it's fun to check out the waves, it can be dangerous. as we saw with last week's storms, the waves can easily pull people into the ocean from rocks, jetties and beaches. and don't forget, you can track the rain yourself with the same live doppler seven that sandhya and our weather team use. just search abc seven bay area in your device's app store to down to download it. >> all right, let's move now to critical new details about the arrests in the killing of officer oakland police officer twan lee. yeah. >> one suspect we're learning was tracked to a la quinta inn in livermore. >> now, detectives are starting to connect the dots here in the death of officer lee. he was shot last week while working undercover for responding to an early morning burglary of a cannabis shop along the city's waterfront. >> it is the department's first line of duty death in more than

a decade. and tonight, abc seven news reporter tim johns has the latest in the case. >> nearly four days after the murder of officer twan lee, the oakland police department confirming tuesday the arrest of a suspect. sharing the news first with lee's fellow officers over dispatch radio. >> i just want to advise everybody that the killer of officer twan lee is in custody. please take care of each one of you. >> way was shot and killed friday morning when he attempted to stop a robbery at a local cannabis shop. there's a terrible pall of sadness. >> that's fallen over every oakland police officer. barry donovan is the president of the oakland police officers association. >> he says since the shooting, opd has been working nonstop to try and catch those responsible. >> you are going to jail. you are going to be behind bars. we are going to find you. >> in a press release, opd saying they've arrested several people in connection to lee's death, one of those arrests happening in the early hours of tuesday morning at a la quinta

inn in livermore, according to one employee, the fact that so many arrests were made so quickly tells me that this has been an all hands on deck investigation by agencies throughout the bay area, legal analyst stephen clark says with such a high profile case, prosecutors will likely try and get court proceedings moving as quickly as possible. he also tells me police are probably in constant talks with several of those arrested, trying to get more information on those at the center of the crime. it's also important, though, that that information be corroborated by the forensic evidence, by the video evidence and in particular the ballistic evidence in this case. ultimately, the decision to charge those involved will lie with alameda county district attorney pamela price, someone who donilon says has been in regular communication with law enforcement over the case. >> i think they understand and the importance of charging the people who killed an oakland police officer or anyone attached to them, committing crimes in the city of oakland, in oakland. >> tim johns, abc seven news.

now we want to make sure you have the full picture of crime where you live with the abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. >> it shows you a wide range of public safety statistics over the years for san francisco, oakland and san jose. you'll find it on our website. just go to abc seven news.com. >> now to those terrifying images being seen around the world tonight. a passenger plane in japan burned out into flames after colliding with a coast guard plane. look at this. everyone on board the japan airlines jet. that's 367 passengers and 12 crew members walked away uninjured. they evacuated within 90s before flames engulfed the passenger plane. five people on the coast guard plane were killed. only the captain made it out alive. the collision happened at haneda airport in tokyo around 6 p.m. local time, as the japan airlines jet was landing. it is a rare incident given japan airlines impeccable safety record. >> the airplane did its job here . we think what happened is that this was a pilot error. somebody probably on the japanese coast guard side uh- taxied onto that

active runway when they weren't supposed to. it's one of the busiest airports in japan, and many people travel over. >> of course, the new year holidays back here at home, bart trains are back on the move again as normal tonight in the east bay. >> after that sudden derailment and fire early monday morning, bart officials say investigators are still trying to figure out exactly why two cars jumped the tracks near the orinda station, sending nine people to the hospital with minor injuries. lots of things could come out that we don't know, right now, but what we believe right now is it was not not a track issue. >> it was not a train issue. what we are left with and what what most of what we know points to is human error. now if human error is indeed to blame here, there will be changes. >> we're told, including new training and new protocols. this was the fifth bart derailment in the last 15 years. all in the east bay. >> new at 11. an artist in san jose is looking for his

sculpture that was stolen on new year's day. he says he had been working on it for months and this isn't your average work of art. abc seven news reporter ryan curry has more on the mystery to get it back. >> i cut the metal, bend the metal, weld the metal together. >> bending metal is rosenberg's passion. >> every day, six hours a day, grinding and welding, grinding and welding. >> turning thick pieces of steel into beautiful sculptures. it's work that requires enormous levels of time and discipline. >> it's kind of like making a skirt or a piece of clothing. then the pieces are stitched together with a welder and then ground down. >> he was in the middle of working on his latest piece, a tall structure with detailed metal rods and curving on the side. it's now gone. someone stole it on new year's day. it's nine feet tall by about eight feet wide, nine feet deep, weighs about 600 pounds, just wasn't there. rosenberg brought it outside so the metal could rust, giving it a distinct reddish brown color. he says, is necessary for the design to

prevent the sculpture from being damaged. he bolted it to the ground outside his san jose studio. that's one bolt that is two bolts. did you think somebody was going to be able to move it the way that no, i really didn't think that someone was going to come with a pickup truck and drag it out of here. surveillance video from a neighboring business shows a white pickup truck driving by and parking in front of the studio. someone gets out and dislodges the sculpture and drives off. it's inconceivable to me that someone would drive down the road with one of my pieces behind it. >> fillled a report with police. >> the sheets of metal he uses sometimes cost thousands. he had plans to put this piece in a gallery one day, but the time and money spent to achieve that are gone. this recent theft must have been. >> it's a blow. it's for sure a blow in san jose. >> ryan curry, abc seven news. we'll keep you updated on the investigation into that. >> can you believe someone would steal that piece of sculpture? well, happening now, a danger advisory is in effect for a lake in the east bay state. water

officials posted the advisory today for lake del valle in alameda county. they're cautioning people to stay away from blue green algae blooms is happening in the lake. exposure to toxic algae can lead to rashes, skin and eye irritation, stomach problems and in rare cases, serious illness, illness, even death. no word on how long this advisory will last, but we'll keep you updated and check this out. >> an old bomb washed ashore in santa cruz county happened at the pajaro dunes on new year's eve. the bomb squad was called out as a precaution, but quickly deemed it safe and removed it from the beach. this beach was one of the places that evacuated last week during those high waves and high surf warnings, racing to the election season, a new challenger to donald trump emerging with a crucial debate coming next week. plus, we've all heard about the trend by now. but what's the truth about dropping the alcohol for dry january? >> and what do you want to be when you grow up? meet the young man who has his mind made up and is well on his way.

>> first, a look at what's coming up tonight on jimmy kimmel live! right after abc seven news at 11. jimmy thank you dan and amna. >> if you stay up i'll give you a ride to the airport. well maybe let's put it up on the screen and see the before and after here and see what we got. because carrie i think you did a pretty good job

the 24 election. >> new hampshire's governor gave haley a big push when he endorsed her last month. he thinks her time in the granite state will help her gain traction there. >> really engaging with nikki on where america goes on what is about the future despite those efforts on the campaign trail, former president donald trump still holds a commanding lead in the polls. >> it is a real uphill climb for anyone to beat him, as you know, as analysts have pointed out, no one has ever had the kind of lead that trump now has in national polling and then gone on to lose the primary. >> desantis and haley will face off next week in their final debate before the iowa caucuses. they're the only candidates who have qualified and accepted the invitation. trump also qualified, but is once again skipping a scheduled debate. he'll participate instead in a town hall hosted by fox news. meanwhile, former president trump did appeal maine's decision today to remove him from the state's primary ballot. the state supreme court will take up the case his legal team is also expected to appeal colorado's decision to disqualify him. that would go

before the supreme court. it did not happen today, but will likely happen soon. >> new developments with a man charged in the killing of rapper tupac shakur, a bail hearing was postponed today because prosecutors say one of the witnesses may be atrillionisk duane keith davis was seeking to be released ahead of the june trial. however, prosecutors say telephone recordings and a list of names given to his family members show davis is a threat to others if he's released. davis is the only person ever charged with the 1996 shooting on the las vegas strip. he is currently being held without bail. >> east palo alto once had the highest murder rate per capita in the united states. times have certainly changed. last year, zero murders, police chief jeff liu celebrated this achievement and put out a statement. thatrillioneads in part, quote, your collective commitment to safety and unity has transformed our city, evolving from the challenges of 1992 when we faced 42 murders to now a community that stands resilient and
