much of your sunday is not a washout. take a look at the last several hours from live doppler seven, and you'll notice that the wave of lightrillionain continues to move on through. this is a 8-80 right now by fairfield and cordelia looking at some wet weather highway 12 and further south into the mountains. so upper elevations picked up over an inch and a third from mount diablo, mount tam, ben loman. so the upper elevations certainly did well. lower elevations anywhere from a quarter to perhaps three quarters of an inch of rain. but we still have more to come. and this is the strongest system headed our way tonight. 56, in hayward, right now it is 50 in fremont with 53 downtown and some low 50s to the north. so we talked about our wind advisory earlier. upper elevations right now still pretty gusty. anywhere from 25 to over 30 miles an hour. so the winds will certainly crank up from 10:00 tonight through early tomorrow. so the scattered showers today with cloudy skies and then tonight a much stronger storm.

the possibility of thunderstorms, gusty south winds. and then because of that tomorrow we are looking at the possibility of some flooding and those shallow roots with those soils very saturated, could see some tree limbs coming down. here's the timing. our high resolution model brings us a few showers throughout the early morning hours, and by the afternoon in the north bay, you'll be getting wet once again . so by two 3:00 we've got light showers, maybe some heavier rain to the north in santa rosa, but it's really not until after the dinner hour when we see that heavy rain really line up along the coast. here it is, 9:00, and these reds and oranges indicate that we could see some very heavy rain at times. so as we look at midnight tonight, notice that we've already picked up about an inch of rain from probably about 5:00 tonight to midnight, and the rest of us not doing too badly with just a quarter of an inch. maybe a half inch. oakland and san francisco.

but we add in what we get overnight, and there's where we could see anywhere from three quarters of an inch from today and tomorrow in hayward to over 2.5in down around ben loman, the santa cruz mountains. so still looking at the winter storm warning and the area around lake tahoe looking at some wet snow right now, temperatures are right below freezing, so expecting another 6 to 9in around kirkwood. highs today with those scattered lightrillionain showers. pretty mild around. 60 for you in half moon bay, 62 palo alto. and then we're waking up to more rain tomorrow. so the commute, most of the heavy rain will be behind us. but that level two coming into play tonight and then possibly some flooding into monday, we'll look at scattered light showers late tuesday into wednesday and then dry and warmer at but we need an atm from our bank unless you want to spend a small fortune in fees. uh, no, thank you. banking with us means more fee-free atms than the two largest us banks combined.

blasted their way through some large boulders which spilled onto the roadway right near auburn. both lanes were closed as they clean up those smaller pieces and assess the damage. road repairs are expected to continue through next week before they can reopen those lanes safely. this morning, we want to tell you how a section of the southern border is raising concerns among wildlife researchers, as abc seven news anchor dan ashley has this story. with the help of our partners at the local media association covering climate collaborative five miles of wall stretch going into the horizon, dividing the united states from mexico. >> but now there is growing evidence that newly constructed sections are also dividing a critical habitat, disrupting natural migrations. both of animals that eventually manage to work their way through the fence, and those too large to cross at all the border wall is creating a massive continental scale in environmental experiment that we're all along

for the ride with, and it's going to affect the evolutionary history of these species. emily burns is a researcher with the nonprofit sky island alliance. over the last several years, the group has been placing wildlife cameras along sections of the border wall in arizona to document its impact on any given night. smaller animals like these javelinas can slip through small openings at the base, perhaps followed by a lucky porcupine. but now watch as this black bear a species endangered in mexico, paces along the length of the wall, searching for an opening, while even an agile mountain lion is blocked as well. >> and they are a species that need a lot of space. mountain lions, especially the males. once they get old enough and leave their mother, they need to establish their own territory and they're just looking for simple things that that everybody looks for shelter, for food, mates and water. you know, that's what it's all about. >> and that extended range can be critical for long time survival. it's a lesson we've

certainly learned here in the bay area, where urban areas intersect with open space migration pathways that can often extend hundreds of miles. zara mcdonald is with the bay area puma project. her group tracks mountain lions and other animals with wildlife cameras. similar to those being used at the border. she worries about obstacles like freeways that can make it difficult for the animals to roam freely and mate, meaning that subpopulations themselves, you know, are more susceptible to disease, to inbreeding, and so genetic disorders. her group lobbies for land bridges or storm drain type tubes that can make crossing dangerous areas safer. finding those solutions, there are sections of freeways that lions are being killed on back in arizona, the sky island alliance is working on solutions for the border wall as well. >> it can be a no cost solution of just opening floodgates in the wall to allow storm water to drain. um, either way, across the border, those can be used by

many animals to cross back and forth. as much as i don't want to live with the wall in our backyard, and we are, and so our priority has to be finding creative ways that don't jeopardize national security, but make it better for wildlife. >> protecting a critical animal habitat in a landscape being changed by humans. dan ashley abc seven news well, there is a lot happening on this issue that includes a lawsuit by more than a dozen states, forcing the government to improve wildlife corridors at the border. >> now, here in the bay area, a crossing has been created in the santa cruz mountains and more are planned. coming up, a first look at the plans to create a new city in solano county. in our next half hour, how it could offer thousands of new jobs and why? some say it just won't work . plus, we are two days out from the first in the nation primary and melissa don in new hampshire tracking the latest on the candidates coming

yeah it is. we're looking at some light rain much of the day today will feature dry skies for many of you. and then heavier rain tonight with our level two system. the rain right now fairfield highway 80 and scattered showers for the rest of us. very light, but the pavement is wet and the national weather service has issued a flood watch for the north bay. 8:00 tonight until 10:00 tomorrow night. looking at the rain being quite heavy overnight. so that's why we have a level two system and the wind advisory from the north coast, san francisco peninsula, all the way down to big sur. and this takes us through early monday. so we'll get those scattered showers back in the north bay to 3:00. they'll be light. and then things are really going to turn around 7 to 8:00 for the entire bay area to get into some heavy rain. so 5060s and the scattered

light rain for much of the day. stephanie. all right. >> lisa, thank you. the new hampshire primary is two days away. nikki haley and donald trump scaled close to each other in the polls as they campaign their final pitches to voters. abc news reporter melissa adan is live in new hampshire with how candidates are pulling for the win. good morning melissa. >> good morning stephanie. so we are counting down to the first in the nation primary here in new hampshire. and just this weekend, nikki haley and donald trump picking up key endorsements as they continue their campaign right here in the granite state. this morning, the final sprint to the new hampshire primary is on nikki haley and donald trump crisscrossing the state hoping to sway voters ahead of tuesday. former president donald trump holding a rally joined by leaders from nikki haley's home state, including current south carolina governor henry mcmaster . >> if you want a person that puts america first, there's only one person that you can vote for, and that's donald j. trump. and you saw that for four years

in a snub to haley, the former president already picked up a major endorsement from south carolina senator tim scott, whom she appointed to the senate while she was governor. >> of course, i was disappointed . he's got to live with that decision. i don't have to live with that decision. >> haley scooping up support of her own while not officially endorsing any candidate, asa hutchinson, who has suspended his campaign, throwing his support behind haley in tuesday's primary, posting on x, saying anyone who believes donald trump will unite this country has been asleep over the last eight years, a win on tuesday could help fast track trump to a third gop presidential nomination, even though polls show haley trailing close behind. i am voting 100% republican. >> trump all the way. >> i think nikki is the right person who should hopefully be able to bridge the divide. >> meanwhile, governor ron desantis is already in south carolina weeks ahead of super tuesday, hoping to gain early ground as this thing turns. >> you know we're going to be in a good situation. >> as for the writing campaign for joe biden, a handful of

volunteers and local officials gathered in the freezing cold to encourage voters to write in the president's name on the ballot. desantis is now heading back here to new hampshire. he has an event scheduled later today after spending the weekend in south carolina. meantime, nikki haley, she's already at retail stops right now across the state . she has several destinations. she's going to hit up. meantime, trump he's holding a rally tonight. so again, busy day campaigning here throughout the state reporting live from manchester, new hampshire i'm melissa don abc seven news. yes. >> crucial days ahead melissa thank you. good warm. coming up on this week abc news reporter mary bruce joins vice president kamala harris in the democrats newly minted first primary. state south carolina. they'll discuss the campaigns challenges as americans prepare for a potential 2020 rematch. you can watch it all on this week at eight. this morning right here on abc seven. closer to home this morning, the billionaire backed group that's trying to build a new city in solano

county has filed a ballot initiative to take the issue to voters. this is the first time the public is getting to see a detailed plan on how this would all work. i've been following this story since the beginning. new renderings from california forever give a glimpse of what this new city, spanning 18,000 acres in eastern solano county, would look like. aerials of neighborhoods, safe, slow streets, a downtown plaza with transit, family friendly parks and open space, and walkable main streets. >> it will be smaller than vacaville, smaller than vallejo, and about two thirds the size of fairfield. ceo jan sramek explains. >> if passed by the voters, the new city expected to accommodate tens of thousands of people, promises 15,000 new jobs that pay at least 125% of the county average weekly wage. he says some of these jobs would be in advanced manufacturing, bring renewable energy and construction. the plan also commits to investing in green spaces, clean energy and protecting travis air force

base. >> we want it to be a partner that can make the base stronger, sramek says. >> he's locating this new community seen here in blue outside of travis noise and safety zones, which are colored in yellow on this map and nearly doubling the current security buffer around travis, which is colored in green on this map. >> we are permitting solar farms in that area, but we have expressed, given travis a veto and an approval on the technology to be used in those solar farms, those solar farms, if built, would supply enough clean power to power the equivalent of 1.5 million homes, schrameck says. >> one of the largest stressors on travis is the cost of housing for military personnel. >> we would be building a community that provides affordable homes of all different types that particularly young families are having to. travis can afford california forever launched a series of financial assistance programs to help families and students with affordability. >> this includes $400 million for down payment assistance and

$70 million for college scholarships. >> we are proposing a connected network of complete neighborhoods. this would feature, as gabe has mentioned, jobs, housing, retail and all the services from barbershops and cafes to grocery stores, health care providers, workspaces and public parks all within 5 to 10 minute walk, according to this map, the orange area would be the neighborhood mixed use zone, where there would be a mix of townhomes and apartments from 3 to 6 stories. >> the pink area would be the downtown zone. the darkest purple is the industry and technology zone. the light purple would be a maker and manufacturing zone. >> the initiative commits to ten acres of open space per 1000 residents, but congressman john garamendi, who recently had a sit down meeting with schrameck, isn't sold on the plans. >> but basically what they want to do is to extend the urban sprawl from the sunset district of san francisco all the way through solano county. come on guys, your plan doesn't work. and by the way, where's the

water? >> so where is the water? we have enough water for our new community. california. forever says it's currently undergoing a water supply assessment and verification on both of these are regulated under state law and require us to prove that we have enough water for every home that we bring online for the next 30 to 40 years. >> this includes drought conditions, bottom line is there's no water, for they have no real water plan. >> they don't have a bucket to hold water. >> as far as transportation, the company says they plan on constructing a new double lane road off of highway 12 that would help divert traffic coming from i-80. >> those are rural roads. who's going to pay for that now, before any of this would move forward, voters have to approve it in november, and the initiative needs roughly 14,000 signatures. >> just to get on the ballot. and in order to pass, it needs just over 50% of the vote coming up. low temperatures, heavy snow and ice still ahead on abc seven

mornings. the dangerous winter conditions we're seeing in other parts of the country right now. and here's a live look atop our roof camera closer to home, looking at the bay bridge this morning, i results or just rhetoric. californians deserve a senator who is going to deliver for them every day and not just talk a good game. adam schiff. he held a dangerous president accountable. he also helped lower drug costs, bring good jobs back home, and build affordable housing.

40 niners. big win against the packers last night. now the faithful gets ready for the nfc championship exactly one week from today. abc seven sports reporter chris alvarez has the highlights from levi's stadium. >> good morning. welcome to levi's stadium. the site of the 40 niners and packers, a 10th playoff game, the most in nfl history. and this one was a classic, but not in the way you would expect. let's go to the highlights from saturday night. a cold and rainy night at levi stadium. how would brock purdy and the guys respond after a bye week? well, they started slow in first quarter. deebo samuel hit hard here. look like he maybe had a head injury. it ended up being a shoulder injury. they were working on him. he did not play after halftime. second quarter green bay up three. nothing and this is a huge stop early in the game. packers go on fourth down. they try to sneak it. they didn't get it kyle shanahan fires up about those results. the niners respond with a 12 play 86 yard drive. it's

brock purdy rolling right finding george kittle for the touchdown. the niners led 7 to 6 at the half. and you see deebo samuel is purdy is always fired up. deebo in street clothes. middle way through the third. now niners down 13 seven. and christian mccaffrey there he goes breaking loose breaking tackles and finding his way to the end zone 128. all purpose yards. that's the first of his two touchdowns 1413 lead. but green bay they answer jordan love to tucker craft that made it 2114 packers. as this game went back and forth trent williams visibly frustrated on the bench late third quarter. now love same score. his throw a little high and dre greenlaw comes up with his first pick of the night a big play on defense. and deebo cheering on his guys. under two minutes to go in the fourth. niners down four. purdy buying time using his legs. willie score no but a huge nine yard gain. and then very next play. how about the stanford man. give cmc the mvp maybe

touchdown. 2421 san francisco. the fans into it last chance for the packers. they need a stop. once again the niners do as john lynch upstairs. high five. love rolling right throws against his body. and there's greenlaw with a diving interception that will seal the deal. he had two picks in this game. niners faithful fired up nick bosa. he's all the 40 niner faithful. the niners hang on 2421. back to the nfc championship. >> that game just felt off. you know pretty much the whole game until the end there. and so to be able to persevere through the adversity and to have mature guys on the team who can you know, strap up and go out there and find a way to get a win at the end. it's a sign of a good team, even when you're playing bad. >> that's how you got to get it done. you know, we talk about it all the time. grimy wins. that's as grimy as it gets. i think that's going to help us going

forward, knowing that it doesn't matter what what type of game it is, we can win any way we want it. you know, we've been thinking about it. it's been sort of in the back of our minds. like last year we had a team to do it. and, um, you know, we feel like obviously we didn't have a real opportunity at it. after the quarterbacks got hurt in that game. so yeah, i think we're really excited for it. >> so up next for the 40 niners, either the bucs or the lions, the winner of that game will come to levi's next sunday for the nfc championship. and a chance to go to the super bowl. that is your look at sports. have a great sunday. let's send it back to you. >> let's get another win next sunday. all right. the bills mafia is looking to fill the blank space in its stomach. the buffalo bills and their stadium food partners released new taylor swift inspired menu items. get this they've added the bad blood waffle fries and the karma quesadilla. this is just in time for the divisional round matchup against the chiefs today, and it's unknown whether taylor will be there to watch her boyfriend travis kelce play against the bills. but those menu items look pretty good. what do you think, lisa? bad

blood waffle fries i say she'll be there. >> i think she'll be there. yeah that'll be fun. all right good morning everybody. here's a look at the rain. the wave of rain moving through. very light rain. it's been persistent but light nonetheless. we're going to switch that up tonight and get into some very heavy rain. gusty winds. the possibility of a thunderstorm. so here's a look at live doppler seven. and we go in closer to cordelia highway 80 where things are still a little soggy elsewhere. just some scattered light showers off the coast. here, the peninsula also around 580 livermore, and we get a break for a part of the morning hours before more rain moves back into the north bay. early this afternoon, 56 in hayward. it's 54 in oakland. good morning to you. um, the heaviest rainfall amounts were not only in the north bay, higher elevations, but the santa cruz mountains and mount diablo picked up an inch and a third of rain elsewhere, about a quarter to a half inch of rain totals. the winds are still breezy in the upper elevations. mount diablo 30 miles an hour and you

can see the rest of the bay area kind of breezy, but things are going to get quite gusty along the coastline later on today, so scattered showers, they'll be coming back into play first in the north bay by the middle of the afternoon, then the heavy rain for everyone tonight after about 8:00. chance of a thunderstorm, gusty winds. this is when we could get into some flooding throughout the overnight hours into early monday. some of the creeks and streams, but then the rain will be gone and we'll be looking at a couple of dry days before a weak system comes back on wednesday. here's a look at this morning. a few scattered light showers and then the rest of the morning. not really too bad, but by the afternoon, the rain coming back in the north bay, you can see it here by 3:00. some moderate rain up towards santa rosa, but it isn't until later in the evening hours that we see this heavy rain. and then this is all going to push onshore more throughout the overnight hours, so may even wake you up with the gusty winds. the heavy downpours. so through about midnight tonight we could pick up another two

inches around santa rosa, but the rest of us just about a 10th of an inch. so you're thinking not a big deal, right? well, it's that five six hour time period after midnight through about. 6:00 in the morning where we could pick up about a half inch to three quarters of an inch. the rest of the bay. so in the mountains right now, 29 degrees. so we are going back and forth from the warmer air to the colder air. still, looking at that winter weather advisory and the winter storm warning bringing anywhere from 2in to 10in of snow, and then as we look at your highs today, scattered showers out there, 62 in oakland. and then overnight tonight, the heavy rain tomorrow morning. still pockets of rainfall. but the heavy rain will be behind us for that morning commute. and the accuweather seven day forecast a level two system tonight, possibly some flooding tomorrow. with that wind and heavy rain and maybe a thunderstorm, and then late tuesday into wednesday, maybe a 10th to 2/10, a much lighter system. then we are sunny and warmer as we get
