expect. spencer. >> right. you are. dion. here's a look at live doppler seven. once again, the heaviest rain right now up in the north bay, which has been getting drenched all day down in the santa clara valley below san jose toward gilroy and over in the santa cruz mountains. still heavy rain and gusty wind. right now we have gusts almost 60mph at sfo, right now, 35mph at san jose. oakland, 45mph, 55 at santa rosa. pretty windy all around the bay area this is a level four storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale for the remainder of this evening. we expect more downpours and possibly more flooding. strong damaging winds could produce more downed trees and power outages, and we go with the forecast animation starting at 630. notice between 630 and about 8:00. we still see isolated areas of downpours and strong cells moving through the bay area. not concentrated blanket of rain, but still heavy rain where it's raining up until about midnight after midnight. we'll see the storm weakening just a bit going into the early morning hours. it will still be

a significant storm for the morning commute, though, and we of course still have a flood watch in effect for all of the bay area through tomorrow morning. we still have wind advisories and high wind warnings in the hills until 10:00 tonight, and there is a high surf advisory in effect until 4:00 tomorrow morning. wave heights could reach 25ft. dangerous swimming and surfing conditions, obviously, and in the sierra, a winter storm warning in effect until early tuesday morning with another three feet of snow possible on top of what is already on the ground. i'll have a look at that and the accuweather seven day forecast in a few minutes. dion sounds good. >> spencer. thanks in the north bay, the storm is leaving behind a trail of damage. firstrillionesponders have been busy with toppled trees and flooding from the heavy rain. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard is live for us once again in novato, where many neighbors are dealing with that high water, not to mention the winds, cornell. >> yeah, for sure, dion. we have seen some wild weather today and a lote on on lauren avenue. but the wind and

the rain, like you mentioned it has been non stop. no doubt about it. this storm is serious and it's causing a lot of damage. i left to work around 2 a.m. this morning. >> the street was bare. came back an eight hours later and next thing you know we got water up to our ankles. some parts may have even maybe even close to your knees. >> sergio melendez can't believe how fast this flood water rose on armstrong avenue in novato. some brave drivers decided to venture past the closed road signs, but folks living in the novato rv park are feeling stranded. >> uh- i got a lot of cars stuck in, a lot of people trapped in, you know, everybody's got stuff to do. um, we're all just kind of being held against their own will. >> across town, flooding left garden court inundated. we woke up and it was all flooded out here. the water about 2 to 3ft deep and coming close to homes. some cars stalled out. neighbors say it's runoff from nearby novato creek. >> once there's a drain pipe

here and once it starts coming backwards, we're done. you know, it's not. it's not draining anymore. >> we found slow traffic on northbound highway 101, where the left lane was under water. caltrans on scene trying to drain it in santa rosa. firstrillionesponders say the driver of this crushed car survived after a redwood tree fell onto northbound 101 near todd road, received a call of a tree down onto a motorist and our crews arrived on scene along with santa rosa fire and found a motorist trapped inside their vehicle with a redwood tree on top of him. the driver was hospitalized with serious injuries. across sonoma county, there were dozens of downed trees reported some which struck homes and power lines in bodega bay. this tree fell and damaged two neighboring homes. with the wind that is coming through and throughout the rest of the day, um, we are just going to be extremely busy with these hazardous conditions. >> i love these chickens, girl.

>> back in novato, benedetto del bacio was trying to keep her backyard chickens safe and dry. >> my chickens don't like it. no, no, no, they're in their coop going. what the heck is going on? it's crazy. yeah >> got to keep the chickens dry for sure. and like spencer said, flood watches continue until tomorrow for caltrans using those electronic uh- freeway signs to tell drivers please stay off the road if you can. tonight and tomorrow because it is hazardous. and can we talk about the wind? it is super fierce and so is the rain. in fact, i just lost my hat. i got to go find it now. we're live in novato. cornell bernard, abc seven news. i was wondering what happened to the hat. >> all right, we'll stay dry. stay safe out there. cornell storm damage is widespread in the south bay as well. and that includes this tree. you can see it smashed onto a townhome at rocky creek court. abc seven

news reporter lena howland says winds are a big issue there. the wind has really been the biggest problem for folks across san jose, with debris scattered all over the area. >> just take a look at this massive tree which fell onto a home here at el grande drive and vista oak in san jose. fire officials tell us two people were inside at the time, but luckily no one was hurt. now this wasn't the only issue crews ran into today. take a look at this. another massive tree crashed into a townhome around 730 this morning. this one happened in the area of rocky creek court on the east side of san jose. from the outside, it looks like the tree fell in the garage of the home. but one of the residents tells me it also fell into her bedroom, coming within feet of where she wasther

is no further concern. san jose fire officials tell us that they have received several calls due to the wind, including arcing wires , some wires down, a few other electrical emergencies and a power outage. northeast of downtown. the fire department has up staffed for additional urban search and rescue personnel in case of any possible water rescues. and if you do see any standing water, you are asked to avoid it. do not drive through it because you don't know how deep it may be, and you also don't know what's in that water. it's best to find

another route in san jose. lena howland abc seven news. >> a911 call for a car in the guadalupe river led to the rescue of seven people today. san jose fire crews were called out after someone reported the car near highway 87, in taylor. rescue teams were unable to reach that vehicle, so they put up a drone to see if anyone was inside. they found out the vehicle was empty, but the drone did spot three people on an island in the river. rescuers brought them to safety. the drone then spotted four more people on an island further down the creek at autumn parkway and coleman avenue. they were also rescued. firefighters say neither of the groups were connected to the original call, though for that car. san francisco emergency crews have their hands full with clean up jobs caused by the weather that includes a landslide in the area of market and danvers. the slide toppled a tree landing on westbound lanes of market street. the fallen tree blocked traffic, but there are no reports of injuries. a similar

scene this afternoon along fillmore street near turk. several large branches just snapped off a tree by wind gusts , which also knocked down some power lines. it all created a traffic delay as city public works crews cleared up that mess . now the storm has left one family in pleasant hill with quite a mess in their front yard. another toppled tree, this one large enough to cover the yard and reach onto the street. there that is just one of several spots in the east bay dealing with clean up tonight at another location, a vehicle got tangled in some power lines that were knocked loose by the storm yeah listen to those winds. it could be a few more hours before they begin to die down. you're seeing conditions this morning at the pittsburg marina, where winds reached 45 miles an hour. some of the strongest gusts. those were in point reyes at about 85 miles an hour. while the santa cruz mountains saw some gusts nearing 100. pacifice

serious visible damage. despite fears of further deterioration, the pier there withstood should the winds and the waves it remains closed, though after a storm damaged the structure back in december, surf hours, as you can see, couldn't resist the swell from the storm for fast running water from nearby pumps crossed the beach to the ocean. this seagull decided to shelter in place well away from the runoff. we'll take a look. this is the p-g-and-e's power outage map where it is just lit up as of 4:00. this afternoon, more than 230,000 customers are without power. most, as you can see, still the case in the south bay, where an outage is affecting more than 105,000 customers. the peninsula and north bay, also thick with those power disruptions as you can see from the map. well, we are tracking the weekend weather with live doppler seven. you can do the same as well. just scan the qr code on your screen. it's in the bottom left hand corner. you can use the camera on your

san jose road north of olsen road in socal. there is no estimated time on when that road could reopen. the chp in santa cruz county posted these photos. this morning of road flooding on brookwood and plateau drive in santa cruz. now, that office is also informing people that its resources are limited as it responds to weather related issues and in the sierra palisades, tahoe ski resort is closed due to the intensity of the storm and the increased avalanche danger. here is what it looked like at heavenly resort this afternoon. really can't see very much. doesn't look very heavenly. yeah if you are trying to get to the mountains chains are required on highway 80 from kingvale to the nevada state line and on highway 50 from twin bridges to myers, uc berkeley's central sierra snow lab posted this video on social media almost six inches of snow fell this morning with plenty more throughout the day. what a difference a few days makes. i remember that heavenly shot from last week.

>> yes, yes, totally clear. so different. and another 1 to 3ft of snow may fall from this storm in that area before it's all over. >> oh, just the beginning then. >> amazing. >> and here in the bay area, rain continues to fall as you can see on live doppler seven. and now it's getting more widespread. now we're getting some breaks early, but up in the north bay, no break at all today. this has been one of the most rain soaked regions of the bay area. so from saint anita all the way down to mill valley, right now we've got heavy rain falling over most of that region on the peninsula. all of a sudden another widespread area of downpours has developed from south san francisco down to burlingame and down toward san mateo and down to the santa clara valley is getting a drenching right now as well. this is still a level four storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale for this evening. more downpours, more flooding likely strong damaging winds may produce downed trees and power outages. so on we go with the forecast animation starting at 630. notice when the current wave moves through, it will be replaced by others moving on shore. 8:00 tonight. heavy activity down in the eastern portion of the santa clara

valley. in fact, that area is going to remain active throughout the evening into the late night hours. and then finally after midnight, we'll see the storm beginning to weaken up just a little bit and break up into scattered showers with fewer downpours. still, though, a flood watch and warning in effect for the entire bay area until well through tomorrow morning. the watch is for most of the bay area. the warning is for this area in the north bay portions of the three north bay counties of napa, sonoma and marin, and with the flooding likely on streams, rivers and creeks, wind alerts in effect, the sort of tan areas here down to the surface under a wind advisory until 10:00 tonight, with gusts up to about 50mph in the hills and mountains . the area is shaded in that sort of purple color. it's a high wind warning with gusts up to 60mph or higher. we still have a high surf advisory in effect until 4 a.m. tomorrow. right now we've got wave heights up to 22ft at bodega bay. large breakers could reach 25ft or higher. and of course, under these conditions, the risk of rip currents and dangerous swimming and surfing conditions over in the sierra winter storm

warning in effect until 4 a.m. tuesday, heavy snow continues to fall. gusts up to 80mph over the ridges. a lighter gusts but still powerful and significant in the lower elevations. 1 to 3ft of additional snow, likely over the 6000 foot level back to the bay area right now, looking at current conditions, we've got temperature readings generally in the mid to upper 50s, so fairly chilly out there right now. and the wind gusts are incredible. 45mph at oakland. sfo just dropped from 58mph to 47mph. as we're covering this weather right now, lows tonight under scattered, showery conditions, mainly upper 40s to about 50 degrees. highs tomorrow, mainly in the upper 50s and by tomorrow afternoon we'll see far, far less rainfall hitting the bay area. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast overnight out. these storm will probably drop down to about a level two, but by afternoon tomorrow it'll be only a level one. and then for the remainder of the week, it looks like friday will be the next round of rain coming our way.

>> abc seven sports is sponsored by your northern california honda dealers. >> hey everybody, chris alvarez here in las vegas, site of super bowl 58. one week from tonight, a super bowl champion will be crowned to be either the 40 niners or the chiefs. now, it was a little bit of a effort to get here today. we left san francisco. or we're supposed to at 925 this morning. long story short, after three delays, we hopped on a flight over to oakland. we actually drove across to oakland, then finally got to las vegas about an hour and a half ago, so i didn't see the 5:00. but hey, we're here. we're safe and sound. now. the kansas city chiefs got here about an hour ago. the 40 niners are in mid flight right now. they will be landing probably within the next 20 minutes. we'll have all of that at 11. but before then you know a super bowl is a week full of distractions. nick bosa has a unique way of using a family member to take care of all the outside noise. >> yeah, i don't deal with that. my mother does. >> i don't have like a big group or anything. um, you know, going to the super bowl, it's really just, you know, my immediate

family, my, my fiance's immediate family. um that's really about it. so obviously it's a it's a big game. and, um, you know, trying to handle everything up until we leave and get on the plane to go to vegas. i think it's huge. and kyle's harped on it like, we want to handle everything before we get on this plane. this week, as if we were playing this week. so um, it's been good. it's been efficient. trying to make things as normal as possible. >> and the biggest game of the year, as you might expect, the scheduled final round at pebble beach was completely called off today. that just happened within the last hour. a few of the pros, like ben griffin and andrew putnam posting these videos on social media showing how bad those conditions were down at pebble. just minutes ago, the pga announced they will not play the final round on monday. their tournament has been declared over after 54 holes and wyndham clark, officially the winner. all right, say hey, happy willie mays day san francisco mayor london breed has proclaimed today. two for 24, in honor willie mays day, uh, in honor of

the legendary san francisco giants. hall of famer, of course, wore number 24. the iconic san francisco landmarks across the city, city hall, the ferry building, salesforce tower all done in orange and black lights today, as, of course, the statue in front of oracle park as well. in a statement, mays thank mayor breed as well as the san francisco giants, saying quote to me, this day means i'm loved. this is as much my day as it is for everyone who loves the game. end quote. so it's great to see those videos of willie mays giants are going to get going in spring training in just about two weeks, but before then deion a lot of football to play as this abc seven sports report is sponsored by your northern california honda dealers. i'm excited to be here. happy to be here. a lot of rain. we saw impact in the bay area and we saw some fans that were out here early. they're going to hang out, but i don't haven't seen one fan yet that's going to be here. imagine spending a whole week in vegas with your own hard earned money that is quite expensive. haha. >> it's good that you're there. we are relieved that you have made it. good luck and we will look

do you question the tradeoffs of treating? ubrelvy is another option. it works fast to eliminate migraine pain. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. allergic reactions to ubrelvy can happen. most common side effects were nausea and sleepiness. ask about ubrelvy. my dry eye's made me a burning, stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya.

it's not another drop. it's the first and only nasal spray for dry eye. tyrvaya treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease fast by helping your body produce its own real tears. common side effects include sneezing, cough, and throat and nose irritation. relying only on drops? not me. my own real tears are my relief. ask your eye doctor about tyrvaya. take a look at our weather. >> now you can see it's still

raining all across the bay area with some pockets of very heavy downpours. this is a level four storm and for the remainder of the evening we can expect more downpours and strong gusty potentially damaging winds. these are the headlines scattered downpours and windy through the evening into the early morning hours. possible thunderstorm in the early morning during the morning commute. later in the day, though, it starts to get calmer for the remainder of the week. it will be calmer and drier. >> all right, thanks for the update. look at the scene behind us. the camera just moving on. the wind. >> the wind. >> well that's two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

hi there. do you need any help? yeah. i was just wondering what nosh means? [blowing whistle] natural. organic, specialty, healthy. yay. nosh! everything marked nosh means natural, organic. specialty and healthy. that way, you can eat healthy while sticking to a budget. ummm, no. you want to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are.
