avenue. so you're going to want to avoid that area. and if you do see any standing water, remember, do not drive through it. you don't know what's in it. and you also don't know how deep it could be. so it's best to avoid that altogether. live in san jose lena howland, abc seven news. yeah, a very important reminder, lena. >> thank you. on the peninsula now, people have been bracing for flooding from this storm. abc seven news reporter tara campbell was in san mateo county as residents there prepared the signs are up and the sandbags out as san mateo county gets ready to weather this major storm, i would tell people, be vigilant, be aware. >> david canepa is a san mateo county supervisor and says daly city and broadmoor village have historically been hit hardest by flooding. >> what we're trying to do is make sure that people are prepared and we're trying to make sure through our regional operations center that we're able to coordinate, whether it's through the sheriff's department, whether it's through local jurisdictions. um, so that's we're ready when it rains

>> we're looking at midmorning and throughout the entire day for the wind. but as we get into the middle of the morning, we'll get into more downpours, the possibility of thunderstorms and as this system gets closer to us from the coast, that's going to add in the energy, the element that will be giving us a stronger system. so as we look at live doppler seven right now, there is all the rain and it's been light to moderate, but it's all across the state. and there's the area of low pressure. just continue to develop kind of blowing up out there off the coast as we get a lower pressure. that's going to mean stronger winds as it gets closer to us. here's a look at the south bay, the santa cruz mountains into monterey. you can see the moderate rain. bit of a lull here over towards 580, but lighter rain from oakland to san francisco. sears point highway 37. it's been raining all night long and into the north bay from santa rosa to guerneville san rafael. more wet weather. rainfall totals 24 hours 1.58. the marin civic center 0.89. in dublin, san francisco over an

inch, as well as oakland, a third of an inch in san jose, mount ammonium 1.10. and this is just getting going. so winds of 32 miles an hour at the coast right now, 39 in napa. so they're fluctuating from 40 to 50. but those higher winds the stronger winds in the upper elevations will mix down to the surface. mount diablo 47 miles an hour. and that's why we get the winds all day. because this area of low pressure is just going to get closer. watch how they continue to clock up from point reyes 58 miles an hour and you can see those purples staying with us throughout the 2:00 hour from clover dale, 51 mile an hour wind gusts into redwood city, 40 miles an hour and 50 still half moon bay, 6:00 tonight, but it's not until after 8:00 when things begin to settle down, and we'll have about an inch and a half to two inches of rain so that soil is saturated. throw in those 4050 mile an hour winds and a thunderstorm and some more heavier downpours. and we've got a recipe for some damage to

happen this afternoon in fact, with that, we'll get the impacts of the flooding as this moves on through into monday morning. the pah'-ha-row river, the san lorenzo guadalupe river in the south bay. so the rain continues through sunday night. this is your rainfall for 11:00 tonight. about an inch and a half in oakland. over two inches santa rosa. you can see two and three quarters down in the santa cruz mountains. add in monday we're up to two and a third in napa. nearly two inches in san francisco, and then an inch and a half in san ramon. we'll get a break from tuesday, wednesday, even into most of thursday. a winter storm warning through tuesday with over two feet from south lake to five feet around kirkwood. so highs today with the thunderstorm activity, the very gusty winds out there, upper 50s to 60 level for system today. today more rain and the impacts coming in for your monday. a break tuesday wednesday maybe showers late on thursday. but you can see overall today certainly the worst day. and picking up and

higher elevations, even looking at a slushy mix in some of the santa cruz mountains. here's a look at the wide swath of light rain in the north bay from san rafael and novato. uh. healdsburg west of healdsburg, 101 guerneville. moderate cell there, but this is where we're getting some heavier rain. scotts valley, the santa cruz mountains, san jose has picked up over a third of an inch of rain. and what's offshore here? perhaps 945 in pescadero, redwood city, 10:00 some stronger cells and as we get into san jose at 11:00, still getting into the thick of it. so 33 mile wind gusts, san jose, half moon bay, 32. these will get much stronger 40 miles an hour in napa, 55 mile an hour. wind gusts from mount diablo and some of the storm damage here across the bay area beginning to come in alameda. we've got flooding across all lanes. check out that 71 mile an hour wind gusts in carmel valley, and a tree is down in forest knolls with 57 mile an hour winds. they have a lot of trees in forest snow, so this level four system

bringing in the strong damaging winds, the flooding that could take us through tonight for the entire bay area. the wind advisory and the wind warning along the coast and upper elevations until 10:00 hour. high surf advisory 25 to 35 foot breakers down along the coast. and there's a look at the heavier rain through 9:00. and then we'll see a few breaks. but as the reds come into play, that's the thunderstorms that will watch out for with the gusty winds. stephanie. lisa. >> thank you. well, right now we want to bring in san mateo county supervisor ray mueller to get an update on conditions along the coast. supervisor, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> we understand you just had a briefing from the county emergency operations center, and there's concern about seton hospital along the coast. what can you tell us? >> uh. well, seton coastside last night experience a power failure and the backup generator did not come on. and so right now, the emergency room that's there for patients going there, we're diverting them to other locations. >> do you know which specific

locations they're being diverted to? >> really depends upon whether or not they call in or they come to see and coast side and the nature of the emergency. >> okay. now, speaking of power outages, we're tracking hundreds of people being impacted right now in pacifica. and a reminder for our viewers just joining us, how to find the closest emergency operations center. can you tell us more about that? ray. right >> so again, it depends upon where you're located. if you go ahead and you're in a situation where you can go ahead, cell service should should work. uh, even if even if cellular is down on the sos system. uh if you're located in pacifica, you can go ahead and go ahead and try to use that cell service. uh, and then what you'd want to do is go ahead and actually go to the location of where your police or your or your firefighters are located. if you cannot reach them, uh, right now, uh, conditions are fairly good on the coast in terms of flooding. but the big issue that we have right now is with respect to wind, there's power outages. as

you know, as you talked about in pacifica, we have power outages from montara all the way down through pescadero and lines down power lines down. so we also want to warn people be very careful if you see those power lines down, stay away from them. >> uh, before we move to more on pacifica, any update on when the hospital the power will be restored to satan. we don't i do not have that update at that time because it was that power switch failure, uh, that took place. >> so it's an internal electrical issue at the hospital. in addition to the power lines being down that go to it. >> okay. all righty. well, we'll circle back with you. certainly, as we wait for more information on that, we know people in pacifica obviously has been preparing our reporter, cornell bernard was out there yesterday as people were sandbagging the front of their homes. pacifica pier remains closed. so is beach boulevard. um, lisa was just telling me a moment ago that there are 30 mile per hour winds currently in pacifica right now. pair that with the high surf concerns. they're expecting over

50 mile per hour winds. are you aware of any damage yet reported in that area? so we're tracking that again right now. >> the information i have for emergency operations centers that we're doing okay, with respect to flooding. but the real issue that we're looking at is later on, specifically between this, the seven and 10 p.m. time period, we're expecting winds to pick up pretty significantly in that surf to pick up, uh, that in areas in pacifica, specifically there along the pier that can be, uh, that can be quite problematic as the as the water comes over the seawall there. and so what we're really we're really asking people from pacifica all the way down the san mateo county coast stay away from the beaches. and we know people may be tempted to go out and want to take a look at those waves, but things can rapidly change and given the circumstances that we're in, right now, there really aren't going to be emergency medical responders to go out. if you get swept out in a wave. so it's just, uh, from from a life safety standpoint, stay away

from the beaches. >> yeah. very important reminder , noah. as high as 25ft. that's been reported. and, um, one last thing, ray. before we go, i just wanted to ask you about state route 92 and the crystal springs reservoir over to downtown half moon bay. i know that area is susceptible to flash flooding and mudslides. any concern there? any update so far this morning? >> so there are no mudslides being reported right now. but as the saturate increases, we become more and more concerned about that, especially as that wind picks up and trees are torn out. uh, if trees began to be torn out, that would loosen up that soil. so again, we're really asking people just please don't come out to the coast if you're on the coast, please try to please try to stay off the roadways unless absolutely necessary. so far, we've been fortunate with respect to the fact that roadways haven't been impacted, but really, what we're really looking at is that wind picking up. and as we're almost from 55 to 75mph, is what the

forecast is. and so we really want people to be safe, stay home and stay away from the beaches. >> yeah. very important reminder , supervisor. thank you for your time. this morning. >> thank you. >> absolutely. well we also want to take you to a local emergency declared in san jose. the flood warnings issd for the guadalupe river as the storm continues to dump rain in this area, flooding is expected and officials are warning residents to take caution. now, those warnings are coming as water levels continue to rise. this morning, abc seven news reporter lena howland is live in san jose with the latest on conditions. good morning lena, and good morning, stephanie. >> we are in downtown san jose where the rain is definitely still falling on us and we are also experiencing some heavy, gusty winds at this hour as well. now we're keeping a close eye on the guadalupe river, which is right next to me over concerns that it could rise 9 to

11ft high, which would bring it up to street level. but the good news is it's not quite to that point just yet. now, san jose mayor matt mehan says the storm that was forecasted for the weekend is now bigger and stronger than previously thought, bringing flood warning areas to along the guadalupe river. because of those warnings , the city has issued a proclamation of local emergency. mehan says that means crews can begin mandatory evacuations of homeless neighbors living along the waterway. further, further, further south, rather in santa cruz county. they are bracing for massive flooding as well. city officials say a newly forecasted strong storm with even stronger winds is creating concerns. >> but certainly if we get upwards of 5 or 6 or more inches of rain in our watersheds, we could see really catastrophic level flooding because we just were hit with that atmospheric river just a couple days ago. but they say the main issue is

the saturated soil from this week's earlier rain, when all that water can feed into and flood the guadalupe river. >> now, according to san jose police, the city has activated their emergency operations center. yesterday to prepare for impacts of this incoming atmospheric river. and they also say that the guadalupe river at ama avenue is expected to flood at some point today. so you're going to want to avoid that area if possible. live in san jose. lena howland, abc seven news. yeah, very important reminders, lena. >> thank you. and we're also tracking the outages in the south bay right now, 2200 people are without power currently in cupertino and 2500 people in santa cruz are experiencing outages as well. p-g-and-e's has not said when they expect power to be restored in those areas. will certainly keep you posted on that. now, the flood potential is very high right now across santa clara county. warming and emergency operation centers have been opened in preparation for today's severe weather and valley water is

staying flood ready as this storm hits the bay area. joining me now is matt keller with valley water. matt thanks for being with us again. >> yeah good morning stephanie. >> so we're learning that the timing of this storm is getting pushed. as you alluded to earlier. what are you hearing about the impacts now to the guadalupe river? >> sure. yes. it sounds like the impacts to the guadalupe river in that ama area is getting pushed back into the early afternoon time frame. so so as we were expecting, you know, from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m, we were expecting the greatest impacts. it looks like that's been pushed off and we haven't been seeing as much rain in the upper watersheds that we were expecting at this point. and that storm being delayed. so, you know, we're expecting those impacts a little bit later on this morning into the early afternoon. >> yeah, that 9 to 11ft of water expected. i just got an emergency alert as we talked about in the last hour on my phone. and i indicating the storm. while it's slower, it's moving towards the area. what are some of the other flooding

hot spots that you're tracking? sure >> yeah. sunnyvale east is a is a creek that we keep a close eye on when we have, uh, a storm there in the guadalupe watershed and ross creek as well, in san jose. that could be a very flashy creek where that water rises very quickly. but it can also go down very quickly as well. so those are ones that we're keeping an eye on as well as guadalupe there at ama um, i also just, uh, got a message from some of our field crews that they're going out and inspecting different waterways. they're seeing a lot of trees down. so obviously the impacts are going to be to power. and then if those trees and those that debris ends up in waterways, that can cause some blockages in some areas. so we are making sure that any of those trees that go into the waterways that we're working to get those out because that can cause blockages and issues. when those waters start to rise. >> i appreciate that update. matt. what specific areas do you know where those trees have gone down? sure >> they the ones that that i've been told have been around

roadway areas, and that's on the way to the coyote reservoir, which is in the morgan hill area . so those, you know, as obviously as you're seeing the winds along the foothills there as well, but you'll get those high winds and the ground is getting saturated. so seeing those trees come down, especially with the gusts that were that, that were forecasted by the national weather service. >> and one last reminder for how to sign up for emergency alerts and notifications for those viewers who are just joining us. >> yeah, that's so important because as we're talking about, you know, you have delays in these forecasts and the rain doesn't come as expected. and so you know, people are waiting around. is it going to happen. is it not going to happen. so being signed up for those emergency alerts, if it does happen you're able to get notified. so you can see on our website here. this is valley water .org/ flood ready. um you can even like google flood ready valley water and all this will come up and it gives you all these tips that you can do, you know, before the flood arrives, when the flood arrives after the flood, flooding arrives. so, um, on that you can find all the

get through the mid-morning hours, all of the rain and the wind will pick up. so far, 24 hours, 1.74 at the civic center, 1.09, in orinda, san francisco. over an inch as well as oakland san jose, a third of an inch, 1.14 mount aluminum in the santa cruz mountains, san mateo. how about that 39 mile an hour wind gusts novato 25, napa at 45, and san jose at 33 miles an hour. mount diablo 53. look at mount aluminum at 61 miles an hour and as we go through the day, follow the colors from the fuchsia and the purple right on through noontime, 50 mile an hour winds from half moon bay, montara, pacifica. they continue through 3:00. redwood city's at 40 miles an hour, and we take you through the delta. fairfield discovery bay near 50 miles an hour and along the coast is 6:00. we are still seeing wind gusts over 50 miles an hour. so through the overnight hours things will calm down. in terms of the wind. look at the rain. pickup is stopping this at 11:00. these could be

thunderstorm forms, very heavy downpours and the winds get stronger. 1:00 you can see still some downpours. the bulk of the system pushes through, but the impacts from the rising rivers from pah'-ha-roe, the guadalupe river to the san lorenzo river, you can see the strong storm still and downpours through 10:00 sunday night. so rainfall totals anywhere from an inch and a half to two and three quarters from ben loman tonight, over two inches santa rosa, you get in monday night were over two inches in richmond. and look at san francisco. so close to two inches, 2.5in santa rosa, just a little bit more to come into tuesday. but tuesday looks to be a dry day, so that is some good news. but we're over an inch and a half in oakland, an inch and three quarters san mateo. that's a lot of rain for the peninsula and the south bay. winter storm warning through tuesday morning. and this is why, looking at snowfall amounts in feet from 3 to 5ft, common here from incline to kirkwood road and donner. and this will bring some pretty good

conditions. but boy, between now and tuesday, still feeling the effects of this massive system. so the chance of thunderstorms, windy conditions, upper 50s to near 60 lasting throughout the day. storm me today. our level four system. some leftover showers and looking at the rises in creeks and streams and some of these trees coming down throughout the overnight hours and into monday, things settle down. break tuesday, wednesday, some lighter showers, perhaps on thursday we'll be right back. >> weather on abc seven is sponsored by spare the air. wood burning accounts for over one third of wintertime air pollution. do your part to spare the air by not burning wood. think smoke pollution is only a concern during wildfire season. >> wood burning also creates smoke pollution, accounting for over one third of all wintertime air pollution in the bay area, creating unhealthy air inside and outside your home. >> protect the health of your family and neighbors by not
