of us are quite mild, anywhere from 8 to 11 degrees warmer with temperatures in the upper 40s. so as we go through the next several hours, the rain arrives and then we'll see a good soaking tonight amounts in a few minutes. stephanie. all right. >> lisa. thank you. well, today, utility crews in the north bay are preparing for this incoming storm. heavy rain and high winds might be the cause for regional power outages. earlier this week, nearly 300 santa rosa residents lost power after strong winds knocked down a tree and power lines. pkg says it's ready to respond this week, and they asked customers to be prepared. >> as we see this weather hitting really hard in p-g-and-e's north coast. so we have activated three of our operators emergency centers. charge up your cell phones now. if you do lose power, you can always charge your cell phone in your car. >> have an extra battery pack. um check your flashlights. make sure your flashlights are working, have batteries ready if you have to head out during the storm. >> california highway patrol says to take it slow. make sure

creek overnight. contra costa fire responded to a home on country wood court near bancroft road. fire crews found two people trapped inside and they were rescued from the burning building and rushed to the hospital, officials say. both victims were injured and their condition is unknown. right now in san francisco, there's new developments with the legal battle to clean up homeless encampments. the supreme court has agreed to hear the case. currently, a lower court ruling prevents sweeps unless shelter is available. abc seven news reporter tara campbell has the latest government has a responsibility for providing basic, dignified shelter and other alternatives to encampments. >> individuals in my view, have a responsibility for coming indoors and taking advantage of those alternatives to san jose. >> mayor matt mehan is talking about the issue at the heart of a case now being taken up by the supreme court. it stems from litigation in oregon, where two

homeless people challenged an ordinance in the city of grants pass banning people from camping in public spaces. an appellate court, siding with the duo, saying it violates the constitution's limit on cruel and unusual punishment, adding you can't stop people from sleeping in a public space if you don't provide an alternative . >> san francisco has struggled in recent years with some very significant unresolved question laws that were created by the grants pass case. >> san francisco among the many local governments urging the supreme court to weigh in, we joined cities up and down the west coast throughout the ninth circuit who think that the decisions that have been on the books by the ninth circuit have really hamstrung our ability as cities to grapple with the intense crisis we were seeing on our streets. governor newsom also responding friday with a statement saying in part, the supreme court can now correct course and end the costly delays from lawsuits that have plagued our efforts to clear encampments and deliver services to those in need.

>> the supreme court, taking up this case seems unnecessary. >> meanwhile, homeless advocates say the supreme court shouldn't be getting involved. >> it's deeply troubling that that, uh, um, the supreme court may allow jurisdictions to find new ways to punish people. we're not going to punish and find and jail our way out of our, um, homelessness crisis. >> david levine is a professor at uc law, san francisco. >> so the fact that the supreme court took it up, it doesn't mean that there will really be a change of what the rules are right now, but rather i think the cities and other localities will feel as if there's a chance that they will be less handcuffed in the future. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. now the supreme court could hear this case as early as april, a decision is expected by the end of june. >> meanwhile, san francisco is also battling a lower court case over sweeping homeless encampments in the east bay. now, razor wire now surrounds the shipping container

the early 1900s. we have a commonality of experiencing oppression because of our race, because of our religion and that commonality has brought us together. the weekend features two events. this first one at a local synagogue friday night for shabbat services, and the second on sunday at third baptist for a church service. although long popular among many members of both communities, several people tell us this year's show of unity is more important than ever. given world events, we're all the same. >> we have the same colored blood, the same cell system, nothing is like this. >> the connection of human beings seeing one another. some folks i've seen now for 10 or 12 years. >> and while the weekend might be a highlight for those involved, organizers say it's important for them to keep the conversation going all the time. >> this dialog that's not just on this weekend, but is a dialog that goes on throughout the year

the cold here as well as a level two storm is in route. lisa is tracking the specifics. how's the timing? >> yeah. you know what we're going to see most of the rain in the north bay after it's all said and done. and even this morning, the rain will slip to the south throughout the rest of the bay area. by the mid morning hours. but the real impetus, the cold front as it passes through, is going to be later on this evening. but getting set for some heavier rain and the breezy winds and the possibility of even perhaps some flooding up towards the russian river near hopland, where some of the heaviest rain will be in the far north bay. so here's a look at our satellite and radar composite, where you can see pretty active to the north here. and as we get in closer right along the coast here from point reyes and inverness, some light showers all the way down through highway one, their west eastward. i should say santa rosa reporting some lightrillionain and mist and drizzle further south along marin county as we go eastward, you can see some of the returns here out towards the delta and then slipping into the san pablo bay. so we are certainly looking

at the rain on the way right now. temperatures are mild out ahead of it in the mid 40s, 50 in san rafael, 45 in sonoma. and there's a look outside from our emeryville camera. so the level two storm soaks us today with lots of heavy rain tonight. right. and then looking at the winds ramping up as the cold front pushes through this afternoon and evening hours. and then for the holiday on monday, martin luther king day. we're looking at cold temperatures, but it will be dry getting a break from the rain. so those winds will be strongest in the afternoon with the passage of the cold front. here's a look at the timing. 7:00 notice still pretty much in the north bay, but this as we slip down to further to the south in the middle of the morning hours, notice that the rainfall is spreading the peninsula into the east bay. here's a look at 330. just some scattered light showers. but look what happens as we get into the seven 8:00 time frame. widespread, heavier rain all across the bay area, so anywhere from about an inch of rain in san francisco to an inch

up in santa rosa, maybe two inches further to the north, with anywhere from a half inch to an inch for the rest of us. but that rain shadow effect for you down around mountain view and san jose, bringing only about a quarter of an inch of rain. here's a look at the winds. notice by about noontime, the beginning to pick up along the coast and then with that passage of the cold front, they really ramp up so you can see the winds anywhere from 20 to over 30 miles an hour at the coast. but widespread 20 mile an hour wind gusts. and we could see in the upper elevations over 40 miles an hour. so breezy to gusty winds. and with this we have our winter storm warning through tomorrow, 4:00 highest elevations 1 to 2ft. but we will be getting snow down around lake level and also at the resorts here. anywhere from a half a foot to maybe 17in at donner. so the good news is, as the rain, that warm air moves over the higher passes, it will come down on the other side as snow. so that's the good news at least we're getting some snow out of it. 37 today in the sierra

nevada with the heavy snow and the rain getting up there for sunday, a morning chance of showers in the mountains and then you're dry for the holiday. upper 50s today with the scattered rain showers. the level two system cranking up tonight, and the accuweather seven day forecast shows we've got a dry sunday as well as the holiday monday, and then maybe some evening showers by tuesday ending on wednesday, and an early look into next weekend. looks like we could see some heavier rain into next weekend. so the brakes are very, very well, very much needed. so busy pattern. >> all right. and the wind gusts expected for the north bay anywhere from 30 to even 40 miles an hour. okay. all right lisa, thank you. when we return, in memory of martin luther king junior, how a new mural at an east bay school is showing three different aspects of doctor king's legacy have heart failure with unresolved symptoms? it may be time to see the bigger picture. heart failure and seemingly unrelated symptoms,

emeryville and the timeline for today will bring the heaviest rain throughout the evening hours and the gusty winds with downpours and perhaps even some flooding up towards the russian river. but as we get into the rest of the afternoon, you can see after that initial push of lightrillionain throughout the 9:00 hour, things kind of quiet down a little bit for some isolated, scattered showers throughout most of the day, and then the heavy rain picks up after about 7:00 through about 10:00 tonight. here's a look at the current temperatures from 45 to 50 right now. for most of us. and that is allowed for certainly the warmer conditions due to the southerly winds, some fog up in the north bay. and as we go through the next few hours, notice that the north bay and into the east bay, getting some wet weather noontime scattered showers from the peninsula to the east bay and then the heavy rain by the evening hours, pushing into the north bay. and that takes us through the rest of the evening hours and the rainfall totals. pretty impressive in parts of the bay area. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. steph.

sort of infrastructure systems. smith says. sea level rise could impact those infrastructure systems, and in turn, impact communities that aren't even by the water. >> heavy rainfalls that rain needs to get to the low spot. and so when that rain is draining on our streets and through our storm drains, a lot of a lot of times those storm drains outfall into the bay or into the ocean. and so if you have a higher sea level, that can sort of slow down, how fast the storm drains can carry that water. >> now experts are using the king tides to help better determine sea level rise. smith says pictures sent to the california king tides project by the public are being used to help government officials and climate change experts do that. >> we're able to sort of use these photos and we can see how high the water was at a certain time, and we can use that to sort of improve our models of flooding and that can be really useful for trying to figure out how climate change is going to impact our communities. >> the california king tides project is so far received around 200 photo submissions from thursday and friday's king tides, with the next king tide event expected february 9th. they're hoping for people to take and submit even more, keep

a good distance, especially when there's waves involved. >> you want to be make sure that you're sufficiently far back that can even help with photos sometimes, right? like you want to get a good a good range of stuff in those photos. >> if you have photos to submit, you can do that at the coastal commission website. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> now, we've been tracking this all week. how's it looking on the coast right now? >> lisa, we're looking at some to the north of us. you can see the golden gate bridge here. dry and quiet. is anybody there? there's one car. we're looking at the warm front. a lightrillionain for the first half of the day, then the second half. the evening hours. that's when we get the cold front. the heavier rain, the gusty winds. details. next. thank you. >> lisa. also next. the warriors feeling good on a friday night larry biel has the details of this fantasy finish after the break the abcs of ckd a is for awareness, because knowing that your chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes could progress to dialysis is important. b is for belief that there may be more you can do.

get some rain here. snow in the sierra nevada. winter storm warning already up there. and you can see the heavy rain from the north coast. there and our sweep on top of mount saint helena. the rain along highway one. and this is where it's going to pick up first. then we're going to see a little bit of a break. but the north bay getting the most rain with this system, this is the warm frontal rain. so the cold front still hours behind this. but as we look around napa and vacaville through vallejo, you can see the rain overspreading the north bay down through six 8-80 martinez and hercules and highway four. certainly some wet weather over into the east bay. oakland and piedmont. here looking at a very wet morning here. highway 13, some slick roadways there, skyline boulevard and this is all going to move on through. we get a midday break for some of us, and this will fill in into the south bay and then the cold front. this evening there's a look further south. 580 san leandro and 75th avenue. some lightrillionain and through 880

as well. so another look off the coast and you'll see how the rain certainly is getting closer to the peninsula here. san mateo , looking at some mist and drizzle, this morning. it is 48, in vallejo. good morning to you. 47 santa rosa with some fog and rain. danville is at 45, so south winds ahead of the front will keep it breezy, but the real gusty winds come with the cold frontal passage tonight. so the level two system soaking us today, the winds ramping up later on today after 6:00. and then for the holiday martin luther king junior day. we are chilly but dry, so the timing on this gets us all wet by about eight 9:00 in the morning. here we are at 1130. and notice that we don't have rain everywhere, but we still are looking at the slick roadways, the scattered showers, and this is that midday somewhat break i talked about. we're not seeing the heavy rain yet, but pockets and periods of rain. and here comes that cold front. here it is seven 8:00, marching through the north bay. then along the peninsula, 830

and then finally 10:00 into the south bay. so rainfall amounts over an inch in the north bay, about that san francisco over a half inch in oakland. remember, we've got the breezy winds and could see three quarters of an inch anywhere from hayward to fremont and about a quarter of an inch or less with that rain shadow effect in the south bay. so the winds. so they're starting out breezy at the coast, and then they certainly do ramp up as we get through the seven 8:00 hour. remember this is when the cold front pushes through with gusts up to 30 and 40 miles an hour. the higher elevations. and then as we get through the overnight hours, just a few showers and then the winds will calm down. so through 4:00 tomorrow morning, 1 to 2ft of snow. this is above 8000ft. so as we get down to lake level, 1 to 5in at lake level, the ski resorts maybe six inches tahoe city and maybe 17in. that would be nice at donner. so it is a warmer storm, but with the height of the mountains and the trajectory of this rainmaker, we

will get some snow in the mountains. so a little bit of that sierra cement, but more likely the heavy wet snow. so that's the forecast for saturday in the mountains. sunday it'll be windy, low 40s. monday is a really nice day. so if you're not up there already, too treacherous to get up there. but then again, there is sunday and monday. so highs today, upper 50s in concord, 56 in fremont and look for the scattered showers throughout the afternoon . tomorrow morning. we're in the 40s and likely dry for most of us. the accuweather seven day forecast with the rain and wind a little bit in the morning hours. mainly this evening as the cold front pushes through, then a break on sunday and the holiday monday evening. showers on tuesday. this is a light system. a couple days of a break throughout the rest of the workweek. so this has got the wind, the rain, the downpours. this evening and that makes it especially tricky on the roadways. and then, of course, the snow in the mountains. >> oh yeah. no, a full full plate. it's a good reminder to

secure that patio furniture. yes as always. and you mentioned the winds really pick up after 6:00. >> yeah. but the upper elevations will see 20 to 30 mile an hour winds up in the north bay throughout the afternoon throughout the afternoon. >> okay. great thank you. >> lisa, a reminder that you can watch all our newscast live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. you can download the app now and start streaming when you were diagnosed with cancer. i know this has allowed you to see how hard life can be, but always realize it's full of opportunities to make someone's day better. there's been so much kindness surrounding you, starlight who made you smile even on your toughest days. never forget those who loved you so well and know that you have the responsibility to give back. love, dad.
