we're in for a wet commute this monday morning. the bay area being inundated with storms and more is on the way. washed out roads, mudslides and lightning chances. this week we are tracking all of it. >> many other states dealing with more than just rain, below freezing temperatures, piles of snow and dangerous ice now being blamed for several deaths. the severe weather impacting communities across the u.s. this morning, the field of republican candidates for president whittling down over the weekend.

>> florida governor ron desantis suspends his campaign while throwing his support behind another candidate. good morning. it is monday, january 22nd to start the check on our forecast with drew. >> it is busy this morning so we had heavy rain late last night and that is causing some residual issues this morning. here's live doppler seven over the last six hours and we were just in undated with rounds of heavy rain. we still have some pockets. this morning, mainly in the south bay, so we'll zoom on down just a little bit tighter in the south bay. there you can see we have those downpours through palo alto, cupertino. so this morning you may not find rain falling, but you may find some areas that are flooded this morning. even some trees down. we do have active flood warnings and flood advisories in effect, those areas shaded in green in the north bay, the santa cruz mountains, parts of the south bay. because we are finding standing water on areas on our freeway. so you do want to add some extra time to your morning commute. we'll keep it at a level two until about 7 a.m. the heavy rain is exiting, but we

have some leftover problems that will persist, causing a slower morning commute this morning. so here's how it looks over the next couple of hours. we'll keep those rain chances in the forecast through about 7 a.m. after 7 a.m, we'll get rid of the showers, but we'll keep a lot of the cloud cover. so today is a mostly cloudy day. an isolated shower, perhaps in the afternoon, temperatures going into the low 60s. we have another chance of rain coming our way this week. we'll show you that in a few minutes, but let's check in with sue and see how the commute is doing. >> pretty sloppy, as you might imagine. drew. good morning everyone. i'm showing you the san mateo bridge. it's wet. a lot of spinouts. chp has about 38 incidents on the board right now. and again, most of those are spinouts due to standing water and flooding in the area. and i believe we've got a bunch of flood stories to tell you about this morning. please give yourself plenty of extra time. the rain may be not coming down as hard, but it's still standing on the roadways. they uh- earlier problem just now being cleared westbound 580, the grant line on ramp and in the center divide. >> thank you sue as you heard

sonoma sheriff and members of the sonoma county fire department had to go door to door to alert people that fife creek had breached its banks and was flooding the small community north of downtown. we saw flooding just north of fifth street between mill street and sycamore court, as well as the north end of church street. you can see the water coming up high enough to cover up some of the tires on some cars, and you can also see it filling the front yards of certain homes that look, i mean, look at my pant. >> i know it's up to my knees. i just talked to the policeman that was sitting on the corner, and he said in less than 20 minutes, 30 to 20 minutes, it flooded out because an hour and a half ago, i looked out my door and it wasn't even. it my yard wasn't even that flooded. now it's up to my top. my step. >> one neighbor told us fife creek has been known for

flooding for years now. no matter how heavy the rain is. and she says she wants to see some type of berms installed to stop the flooding. now we are still making our way up to the guerneville area right now. we're going to continue to update you on these conditions, but so far, so good on highway northbound 101 for now. reporting live in the san rafael area, lena howland abc seven news. >> thank you. lena you can track the forecast anytime with the same live doppler seven that drew uses. just search abc seven bay area in your device's app store to download it. >> your voice, your vote. florida governor ron desantis dropped out of the presidential race in is supporting former president donald trump. sources say desantis has no current plans to campaign with trump. abc news reporter melissa adan is in new hampshire, where voters head to the polls tomorrow. and then there were two. >> i can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources. if we don't have a clear path to victory, florida governor ron desantis once thought to have the best

seminary avenue, the off ramp is completely flooded. so these are some of the issues you're going to experience this morning as the heavy rain exits. we still have problems that persist because of the heavy rain over the last three days. here's live doppler seven showing you the heaviestrillionain is in the south bay, but there are some pockets of drizzle elsewhere that is leading to a pretty damp monday morning commute out there. we still have a flood watch in effect for the north bay through this evening for the potential of some more areas of flooding, but we do have flood advisories in effect on a lot of our roadways because we are seeing standing water. we'll keep it at a level two, a moderate system until 7 a.m. today. the rain will exit by then, but we'll still have some flooded roads, some trees down. just anticipate a slower morning commute. here's future weather by 8 a.m. the heaviestrillionain is out of here. later on this afternoon we may have some isolated showers, but much of this will be light and very isolated in nature. but we have another system that moves in here on wednesday. reggie we'll show you that coming up in about nine minutes. >> thank you. drew a system wide

super bowl. >> you're a quarterback in this long history. what would it mean for barack to bring home number six and the kind of story he has, especially obviously, being the last pick in the draft a couple of years ago? >> well, there's a movie that's going to be made. yeah and uh, because it's that remarkable. uh- i mean, the nfl today is a very sophisticated place. and to be drafted, the last pick in 2022 essentially, and end up taking the team to the super bowl within two years, is a story that no one would ever think could be written in brock's writing it right it. >> brock up next for the 49 ers. the lions. they're being led by marin native and former cal star jack goff i mean that is pretty amazing. yeah that is amazing. >> so my son played with jared. oh yeah. they went to marin catholic together. pretty exciting. so it's a whole family thing. >> that's awesome. yeah great for him. >> but brock you yes yes. >> you know, as much as i love the goff family sorry. >> gotta read for the nice. >> you know.

>> yeah i mean we had rain for the game over the weekend. upcoming weekend looks a lot different. looks like you're 70 there. you're in the south bay. lots of sunshine. so it will be a nice game compared to what we went through over the past weekend. here's live doppler seven this morning though. we still have some leftover heavy rain. we got soaked overnight tonight and that is leading some issues this morning. we'll take a look at the wider picture. we had this storm system kind of slam into the bay area late last night, and it did bring some rounds of heavy rain. a lot of areas picked up more than an inch of rain over the last 12 hours, and that's on top of a series of storms we saw starting on friday. so we have a lot of standing water out there, and it's for that fact. we have flood warnings and advisories in effect for all areas shaded in green and in teal. just realize there's a lot of standing water out there this morning on our roads. we have some trees down, so you may encounter some of these issues as you go about your morning commute. temperature wise right now it is mild out there. we're staying in the mid 50s. this is pretty much where we'll start out as we head into the afternoon, taking a look at the storm impact scale.

we'll keep it at a level two today until about 7 a.m. after 7 a.m, our rain chances do go down, but then they pop up in the early afternoon for the chance of an isolated light shower. we're not going to experience anything heavy later on today, but there is still the chance that we could have 1 or 2 showers linger, so today, keep the umbrella handy. may encounter one of those isolated showers. look at those temperatures for the most part into the low and mid 60s for daytime highs overnight tonight it's mostly cloudy. we'll likely see some areas of dense fog as that moisture condenses and numbers in the 40s and low 50s. now, future weather showing you tomorrow. it's a bright day. we are dry on tuesday, but then our next storm system arrives here wednesday morning. it is a level one i would just anticipate wednesday morning's commute will be wet. it will be slow, but that's the final storm we have on the seven day forecast. here is the accuweather seven day morning rain is exiting today. it is partly cloudy tomorrow. there's this morning showers on wednesday and then a really nice pattern develops here. we're drying out. we're warming up. there's that niners forecast on

sunday. temperatures near 70 degrees in the south bay. >> sue looking forward to it. all right. right now chp has 37 incidents on the log a lot of standing water. the reason so low spinouts hitting center divides and just spinning out the wrong way landing in lanes. so please extra caution san rafael is damp and we've got flooding in the corte madera area near lucky drive is always. but also southbound and northbound. 101 near paradise drive. we're seeing a lot of standing water, so extra caution again can't be emphasized enough. 8-80 be at the coliseum. both directions are moving nicely. you can see the road is wet, and we'll take a look at some of your drive times. walnut creek to dublin not a bad drive at all. under 15 minutes. santa rosa to san francisco. that's looking great. just watch your speeds and highway 117 from the coast up to los gatos through the santa cruz mountains. still in the green this morning. >> thank you. sue coming up, the seven things to know this

overnight and continues to cause some problems this morning, sue hall and lena howland are keeping an eye on the roads. but first we're going to check on drew's tumor's forecast. so how's it look? >> yeah. good morning. we have a lot of leftover issues, not only from heavy rain overnight, but just from a really wet pattern that started on friday. here's live doppler seven. the last six hours, we really got soaked overnight. we had anywhere from a half of an inch to two inches of rain in a short amount of time, and that has led to some issues with water on roads, some trees down the rain right now is mainly confined to the south bay. we have some pockets of downpours moving through los altos on its way to milpitas, some lighter showers around san jose right now, but we have numerous areas that are flooded. this is why we have flood warnings and advisories posted. the area shaded in teal and green because we have flooding on our roads. some of our smaller streams and creeks, and it will take some time for that water to recede. we'll keep it at a level two until 7 a.m. today, where that heavy rain is currently exiting. but the problems persist for the morning commute because of that water on our roads and some trees down in parts of the region. looking at the morning commute, we see

those showers through about 6 a.m. and then after that we'll dry out, but we'll keep overcast skies and even the chance of an isolated drizzle later on this afternoon. but the heaviestrillionain will have exited and temperatures in the low and mid 60s. let's see how the commute is doing with sue. good morning. a lot of solo spinouts drew. >> because of that standing water and flooding. that's our big issue this morning. take a look at the 80 freeway. this is the east shore making its way past golden gate fields berkeley emeryville on into the bay bridge toll plaza. we showed that just a minute ago. that is looking pretty good. it is wet. and this is the richmond san rafael bridge. we've got flooding. lucky drive on 101 quarter madeira. also paradise drive, and then farther south in redwood city there's some flooding. so please be extra cautious. this morning we had a couple of earlier incidents over the altamont pass. look at that drive time already this morning at 5.32 from the central valley, tracy up and over the altamont into dublin already over an hour in the red highway four is

looking better. and 101 also into san francisco. not bad. >> thank you. sue. well, that heavy rain is leaving some of the north bay partially underwater. people living along the russian river in guerneville are dealing with flooding right now. the water is coming up to their knees in some places. we're going to check in now with abc seven news reporter lena howland, who is on her way to that area. good morning. lena good morning kumasi, we are heading up to the guerneville area now to take a look at some of the damage left behind from some of that flooding. >> neighbors saw overnight. if you take a look at our perspective here, heading up on 101 northbound, the roads are pretty clear. we're really only seeing a few sprinkles, but it was a much different story for folks in guerneville. here's a look at some of the flooding in guerneville, which for reference is about 20 miles northwest of santa rosa. this video was taken right around 230 this morning. you can see the water rushing by right in front of people's homes, and you can also see it filling the front yards of certain homes. that's why around

1:00 this morning, the sonoma sheriff and members of the sonoma county fire department had to go door to door to alert people that fife creek had breached its banks and was flooding the small community north of downtown. residents were told to prepare to evacuate , but one local tells us this wasn't the first time. >> to me, this is just pure negligence on the part of the state. uh- for not rectifying the situation many years ago. it's not like this doesn't happen all the time. it does happen all the time. when it rains, when we have a rainy season, even a short rain like this. this is not a this is not a heavy rain. this is nothing but look. >> in response to the flooding, the sonoma county sheriff's office says the red cross has set up a response team in the safeway parking lot in guerneville. now, back here live , we are still making our way up to guerneville, heading on uh-

highway 101 northbound where the roads are pretty clear, but we're still seeing some sprinkles, still seeing some wet spots, so be sure to give yourself some extra travel time as you are bound to run into a few wet spots this morning. for now, live in petaluma. lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right, thank you, lena. now, people in guerneville have been dealing with issues all weekend. abc seven news spoke with cindy dawson. she says she's feeling anxious, scared and a bit worried after the ground gave way just feet from her hillside home on saturday. that landslide prompted sonoma county inspectors to yellow tack her home, and that means limited entry at the property. first responders say the slides about 60ft wide and six feet deep, with mud. dawson says she and her husband are leaving their house until it's safe to go back . >> got our rv out of storage and we'll be staying in an rv park until we figure out what to do in case we go from. i like to say, river view to riverfront.

march 24th. abc seven news anchor dion lim spoke with a longtime customer of that in-n-out, but who says in recent years he's had to take precautions? >> i would do like i think a lot of other people are starting to do. just leave your windows down , you know, like the at least you won't walk away with a broken window. last march, raising cane's, which has a restaurant in that same strip mall, switched to drive thru only in response to car break ins in the parking lot. >> in that letter from in-n-out's chief operating officer, he writes, quote, our top priority must be the safety and well-being of our customers and associates. we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment. >> but less than a mile down the road from the in-n-out, an atm was stolen from the bank of america branch on hegenberger road. police say thieves used a van and chains to tear the machine out of the ground yesterday morning. the atm was later recovered in oakland and one person was arrested. it's

could but i never saw myself in that position. >> wow. >> now one interesting wrinkle about this historic win is what happens to the $1.5 million in prize money, you see, because dunlap is still a quote unquote amateur, he can't keep that money. instead it slides down to the second place finisher. can you imagine if you'd have told me five days ago that, hey, you know, would you rather have $1 million or win on the pga tour? >> it's like, oh, i'd rather win on the pga tour. come on. so with all this winning, the question, of course, becomes could it finally be time to go pro? it is a reality. like it's a possibility. and, um, i just never thought it was going to come this soon. >> i did also ask nick about his very relatable celebration howl. >> come on. and he said, quote, my first instinct was to yell as loud as i could, end quote. and i think that's what we all would have done right in new york for abc news, i'm danny, new, one of
