still, the risk of flooding the winds are still rather strong and gusty. there may be some down trees and more power outages. here's the forecast animation starting at midnight. and notice again, not very wide coverage in the storm, but there are isolated, heavy downpours that will continue into the early morning hours and through the morning commute. and as i mentioned, we still have those wind advisories and wind alerts and flood advisories all remaining in effect and through the morning hours. so still a strong storm, but it will wind down enough by midday tomorrow that it will be around a level one. i'll have more on that a little bit later. and the accuweather seven day forecast. dion >> all right. you scared me with those hurricane categories for a second right spencer. >> levels. yeah >> well happening right now. the most immediate impacts of the storm are the severe amount of power outages, the staggering number of people are in the dark tonight across the bay area. just take a look at what p-g-and-e's live outage map is showing all lit up here. it's covered in symbols representing outages anywhere from one to more than 5000. as seen with

department shows adeline street and a pair of geese. the department wrote, quote, the geese might be the only ones enjoying this flood. gucci goose and duck duck, goose love meeting you. glad they can have some fun in this rain with these conditions. >> someone's having fun with this rain because it's been a challenge for the rest of us. >> let's put it that way. trying to see the bright side outside of all the dangers. >> exactly, exactly. but we still have quite a strong storm with this. dion. although the coverage of the rain has diminished a bit, but here's a look at live doppler seven, and we still have some downpours. heavy ones in fact, over parts of the santa cruz mountains and the south bay all the way down into morgan hill, gilroy and hollister and that's not the end of it, because other waves of rain are coming our way. now, this was a level four storm in the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. throughout the day . it's lost a little bit of its punch, but it's still a strong, strong level three storm through the overnight hours and into the early morning. after that will probably see it weaken some more and it'll the see the storm

impact scale ranking will come down okay. forecast animation starting at midnight. notice the heaviest activity right now right down there in the south bay. it looks like that area is going to continue to receive a few waves and a few cells moving through the area into the early morning hours. but again, much of the area right now through the overnight hours and through the morning commute will be free of those widespread heavy rains that we saw for much of the day. but the other elements of this storm are still with us. flood watch is still in effect for the entire bay area through tomorrow morning, and a flood warning in effect for parts of sonoma, napa and marin counties up in the north bay through the early morning hours, we expect flooding on river streams, creeks and roads. so the impact again, still with us a coastal flood advisory will be in effect from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. tomorrow for the bay shoreline, the north bay shoreline and the inland valleys of the north bay. a minor flooding again on roads, creeks and streams. wind advisory and wind warnings were going to expire at 10:00

tonight. the national weather service extended them because the powerful winds are still with us. so now through 8:00 tomorrow morning, advisory for the communities down at the surface level in these sort of tan areas where gusts will reach about 50mph or so at their peak in the hills and valleys, the other areas there and the more colorful zone will receive gusts up to about 60mph. again, this is in effect until 8:00 tomorrow morning. high surf advisory remains in effect until 4 a.m. large breakers may reach heights of 20 to 25ft. rip currents and dangerous swimming surfing conditions, obviously, and in the sierra, where the storm warning remains in effect until 4 a.m. tuesday. so we've got stormy weather here and stormy weather there overnight. uh- current current temperatures right now in the mid 50s. and then as we get into the current winds, you see that we've gust now up to about 30 32mph in the windiest areas, but nothing like the 60 mile per hour plus gusts that we saw earlier overnight. scattered downpours, still windy

tomorrow, scattered showers going into the afternoon hours. remainder of the week will be calmer and drier and overnight lows, mainly in the upper 40s to low 50s. highs tomorrow upper 50s. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast by tomorrow afternoon it'll be a level one storm, but right now we've got still some pretty intense elements as part of this. the mix then mainly dry through next thursday after tomorrow's storm winds down. but next friday we expect more showers to come in another level. one storm. if they stay at level one, will be free of some of those more devastating impacts. >> i'm glad you're staying on top of the ever changing conditions. >> they are ever changing. yes they are. >> yeah. all right. well, still ahead on abc seven news at 11. arrested at the grammys. the strange twist at tonight's awards for the best rap album winner

had earlier, but we've got some downpours and isolated downpours down in the south bay now, and parts of the santa cruz mountains down into the morgan hill area. in fact, and over near the summit, it is pouring and we have other waves of rain offshore that will be moving in overnight. so the storm is no longer a level four. in fact, through the overnight hours into the early morning, it will be a level three with some downpours. is still the threat of flooding. some strong gusty winds, maybe some more downsream uh- trees and power outages. here's the forecast animation starting at midnight. notice the most active weather overnight is going to be south of the golden gate. although for much of the day it was up for the north bay and this continues through the morning commute. so still going to be wet, still stormy. i'll have more coming up a little bit later. diane. >> all right. sounds good. spencer. thanks. in the north bay, the storm is leaving behind a trail of damage, toppled trees, flooding and power outages are causing all kinds of problems, including some schools having to close for the day tomorrow. here is the list from the sonoma county office of education. they all report storm

related flooding or power issues. fort ross elementary says it had damage to a part of its school tonight, abc seven news reporter cornell bernard is in novato, with neighbors dealing with a lot of high water . >> i left to work around 2 a.m. this morning. the street was bare, came back uh- 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 and 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, 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. >> we 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 it. >> 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

four more people on an island further down the creek at autumn parkway and coleman avenue. they too, were rescued. firefighters say neither of the groups were connected to the original call for the 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 it on westbound lanes of market street. the fallen tree blocked traffic, but there are no reports of any injuries as well. check this out . high winds, whipped construction tarps protecting a high rise building in san francisco's russian hill neighborhood today, one of our viewers sent this video taken at about 430 this afternoon. you can see the plastic sheeting just came off one corner of the structure, flapping vigorously in the breezy conditions. moving on, senators have unveiled a long awaited border deal in foreign aid package. the proposal clears the way for a key vote in the senate this week. the legislation, though,

is at risk of failing and if it does pass, sets up a clash with the house. it includes billions of dollars in assistance for ukraine and israel, and the deal would also give the president far reaching powers to significantly restrict illegal migrant crossings at the southern border. for now, hundreds of people took part in a take back our border convoy this weekend, calling on the federal government to secure the southern border with mexico, organizers held three events traveling through nine states, with the last event taking place near the border in southern texas. >> i love america, i love everybody here. i even love the illegal immigrants, but come legally. you know, we can only take care of so many counter protesters. >> also have gathered at the border, but police say all of the demonstrations have been peaceful. still ahead tonight, another look at this extreme day of weather damage done in the

east bay as trees come toppling down, we have more of the winds and the mess. >> i'm spencer christian, the storm is going to wind down after the morning commute, but for right now it's pretty strong . i'll havehecceather forecast coming up on abc seven. news

politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up. with katie porter. porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message.

a new explosive memoir and kenya moore on the next chapter after divorce. that's coming up this week at 1 p.m, right here on abc seven. >> oh, listen to those winds. a similar sight almost everywhere in the bay area today. this was at the pittsburg marina this morning. where winds reached 45 miles an hour. some of the strongest gusts were in point reyes at 85 miles an hour. santa cruz mountains saw some gusts

nearing 100. 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 even reach out onto the street. that is one of several spots in the east bay dealing with the cleanup this evening. at another location, a vehicle got tangled in some power lines that were knocked loose by the storm. really hard to keep track of all of the mess everywhere. >> you're right about that. we had numerous downed trees, power outages all over the place, and of course, widespread flooding. and that's going to continue during the overnight hours because the storm has not weakened a lot. its coverage in terms of how much rain, how far widespread the rain is, is what i'm trying to say has diminished a bit, but the intensity of those downpours is still with us. so the storm that was a level level four on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale earlier today, is now down to a level three for the overnight and early morning hours after the morning commute. this storm is going to weaken even more probably be down to about a level one, but right now

it's a level three. and as we look at the forecast animation for the overnight hours, you can see pockets of heavy downpours moving through the bay area. there is a possibility of an isolated thunderstorm or two on. we go to after the morning commute. you see us clearing out there and we'll have partial clearing tomorrow and a much calmer day in the second half of the day, but until 8:00 tomorrow morning, we still have a widespread flood watch in effect for virtually all of the bay area. a flood warning in effect for portions of sonoma, napa and marin counties up in the north bay until 8:00 tomorrow morning. we have wind alerts in effect down in the surface areas. the wind gusts may reach up to 50mph. so that's a wind advisor, but it's a wind warning for those areas in the hills. and the mountains where gusts could reach or exceed 60mph until 4:00 tomorrow morning. we have a high surf advisory in effect, and we have rip currents there that may be quite dangerous. so stay away from the coastline in the sierra , a winter storm watch remains in effect until 4 a.m. tuesday, so through the day tomorrow,

there will still be heavy snow falling there. and here is our accuweather seven day forecast by midday tomorrow. we're talking about a level one storm into the afternoon hours tuesday, wednesday, thursday we expect mainly dry conditions, but there will be clouds. the skies may look threatening from time to time. friday. our next best chance of some showers, maybe a level one on friday and then going into the weekend next weekend. fingers crossed. mainly sunny and dry. >> yeah, and toes at this point. >> exactly. >> do you think that this is enough of a stretch of dry weather that things in the ground situation will be better? >> well, with the rain that we had last week and now from this storm, the ground is still going to have a level of saturation that won't diminish significantly in about five days of dry weather. oh, we need longer than that. we get another rainstorm, even a light one on top of what we have now. we could have more flooding very easily. >> all right. we will watch it all. okay. thanks, diane. once again, let's get back to chris alvarez in las vegas with the preview of sports. now, chris. >> hey, don. coming up in sports, more from las vegas,

more super bowl coverage. we've got it for you. and touchdown here in nevada. the team planes land one week from the big game. sports is next a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump,

i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, 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.

welcome back to las vegas and welcome back to sports. as we get ready for super bowl 58. between the 49 ers and chiefs one week from now we'll know who the champion is. will it be a repeat of kansas city or san francisco. get their first championship since the 94 season. we have a week to figure it out. and here we go. the niners team plane landed around 620 local time here in las vegas . you see the 40 niners flag waving outside the united plane. brock purdy getting ready to play in his first career super bowl. got the white hat on kyle shanahan looking for his first super bowl victory as head coach. remember the niners held a ten point lead late against kansas city in super bowl 50 for all to see it but slip away. we expect to see christian

mccaffrey have a big role in this game. he wasn't on the niners four seasons ago in this game. now there's a lot of outside distractions that surround the biggest game in football. on 40 niners star defensive end nick bosa relying on some family help to help ease the stress of those ticket requests. >> 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. cannot wait for the week of festivities. >> ten time nba all star steph curry continues to rewrite the record books. last night in atlanta, steph scored a season high 60 points, including 22 in the fourth quarter. he also

moved past the 200 and threes in a season marker. the 11 time he's done that, he isn't slowing down any time soon as performance reached rare air as he joined kobe bryant as the only players in nba history to score 60 or more points in a game at age 35 or older. uh that's pretty cool. >> i didn't know that that was his last game. yep that's special. granted, we lost. um. it's frustrating. obviously not coming away with the win knowing a couple plays here, a couple of plays there, it's a different outcome. and you know we're celebrating in individual performance like that. but just adds to the frustration of our season. you can only be in the present. that's the challenge that we have to make this season salvageable. uh you know, we're still four games under 500. if you know. i'm still motivated. just got to, you know, stick with it. trade deadline coming

up on thursday in the warriors tuesday night. >> win over 76 ers. golden state's jonathan kuminga landed hard on the knee of philadelphia center joel embiid. his left knee to be exact. embiid left that game in pain and has been diagnosed with a meniscus injury. and embiid will have a procedure, according to espn. it's not being termed a surgery, but it will cause the 76 ers star to miss an extended period of time. there is some hope he'll be able to play again sometime this season. philadelphia fifth in the eastern conference, but four games under 500 this season. in games embiid has not played for them. all right women's college hoops a top ten battle on the farm tara vanderveer number four stanford hosting number seven ucla the bruins scored the first basket of the game. then it was all stanford. kiki often scored 14 of her 18 points in the first half. stanford quickly built a 15 point lead and then it was cameron brink time. let's had a big yell after getting the n one to follow or to fall. uh- brink with 19 points, 19 rebounds. that's a double double. she also was throwing her own personal

block party a total of six blocks in the game. access denied for the bruins fourth quarter. she might have been thinking about a dunk on the breakaway, but kind of ran out of steam there. cardinal roll 83 to 60. the stanford men hit a school record 16 threes when they walloped arizona back in december. tonight it really looked like a repeat in tucson. nine first half threes maxime moreno had 21 of his game high 29 in the first half. cardinal up 11 at the break. second half though different story. number 11 arizona forced 11 seven. second half turnovers taking the lead for good in about eight minutes of game time. cj lewis forced the steal and then gets the layup on the other end. eventually, stanford falls 8271. they dropped to six and five in the pac 12 sports on abc. seven is sponsored by river rock casino. dion, we're here from las vegas. we'll be here all week bringing you all the super bowl coverage back to you. >> it's going to be so fun. that's it for tonight. everybody i'm dion lim. the news continues tomorrow at 5:00. have a great

night. stay dry i was like shaking you know, . when i first reached out to jacoby and meyers. i didn't know if i had a case o. as soon as i got a hold of my . because of jacoby and meyers, it a medical bill or things like . if i know of any accident, i'm . 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.

two leading candidates for senate. 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.
