was over whelmed by water and other drivers decided not to take the chance on other flooded roadways. as. good afternoon. >> i'm kristen sze and i'm larry beil. thanks for joining us. you can see it's still storming all across the bay area right now. >> let's check in with spencer christian to see what is happening. spencer. yeah. christian and larry, i'm still pulling my graphics together because things are changing so fast this afternoon. >> so let's take a look at live doppler seven right now. you can see that we still have widespread rainfall and lots of green, indicating the relative light rain. and of course the yellows and oranges, indicating the heavier, steadier rainfall. and we have a lot of that right now, mainly in the east bay up in the antioch area. some heavy downpours down around livermore and eastward out towards altamont. but even in the other east bay locations, concord, san ramon, pleasanton, hayward, san leandro, we're still getting some steady lightrillionainfall adding, of course, to the flooding potential in those areas. just as the evening commute gets underway. so here's our satellite radar composite image showing the basically the

pattern of this rainfall. it's been generally surging up from our south southwest throughout the afternoon and hasn't been very widespread until the last couple of hours. it was pounding the peninsula, the santa cruz mountains, san francisco and marin county earlier. now you can see it shifting eastward just a bit. so on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale, this is a level two storm for the remainder of today and into the early evening hours. we'll see bursts of heavy rainfall. thunderstorms are still possible. localized flooding is already occurring, and more of it is likely as the rain continues to fall. forecast animation taking us into the early evening hours shows a slow eastward shift in this line of showers and downpours, and then by about 7:00 or so, we'll see the system losing its intensity. the rain will become more widespread and it will become lighter. and we are fortunate that we have light winds that you may recall yesterday we had those powerful, damaging wind gusts, and right now the wind speeds are pretty light and rainfall estimates between now and 11 p.m. generally under a

quarter of an inch. but again on top of saturated soil, as you know from recent rains, it doesn't take much rain to produce more flooding. i have a closer look at the seven day forecast a little bit later. kristen and larry. >> all right, spencer, we'll see you in a few minutes with that in san francisco, all the rain that spencer was talking about led to a lot of road flooding in hayes valley. this was video shot about an hour and a half ago near octavia and ivy. and check out the video, also in san francisco by the way. i mean, it looks like a lake right there. this is an entire intersection flooded near franklin and green streets. >> let's check in now with abc seven news reporter j.r stone, who is live in san francisco. j.r what are you seeing? >> well, kristen good news to report here in the fillmore as this area behind me this underpass at geary and fillmore is clear of any floodwaters at this point. >> now we talked with the fire department early on and they told us that initially when those rains started coming down and started coming down hard, this area behind me flooded. they were able to get that area

clear. and now cars are able to go to and from. and it's good news because this is a thoroughfare where for people trying to get to the east side of san francisco or the west side of san francisco, at that, we saw so many different neighborhoods where those drainage areas, just the pipes, gave way, and you had water flowing up down here. that happened initially, but they were able to drain it and clear it. for drivers in this area. reporting live in san francisco, j.r. stone, abc seven news. all right, jared, thanks so much. >> now to the north bay and abc seven news reporter tim johns, who is joining us live near marin city with a look at conditions there. >> tim. >> yeah, larry. kristen. we're standing by a freeway overpass here near marin city. now, the rain has let up for now, but it has left behind a decent amount of standing water. as you can see in this parking lot behind me here. and this type of standing water is exactly the thing that marin county fire officials say they worry about when these storms impact our area. the north bay continuing

to get pounded tuesday by the seemingly never ending parade of storms in sonoma county. many roads remain flooded ahead of the latest batch of rain, and one woman even having to be rescued from a stranded car in forestville, a local high school in sebastopol, also shutting down for the day after a tree fell on top of it. typically farther south in marin county, fire officials say they've been preparing for the latest storm. it's just been a constant process of evaluating what's next on the forecast list, working with your meteorology daetz and the national weather service to see what what's barreling down the barreling down on on our region battalion chief graham groneman says his department has seen an uptick in calls for service over the past few days, thanks to the bad weather. he says keeping extra staff on hand has been critical in helping them respond to everyone. >> we're looking at the potential for increased mud or debris flows, shallow landslides , small stream urban flooding

events where where vehicles get trapped and it's not just first responders who have been worried about the storms at shamrock building materials in san rafael, we met david, who was buying gravel and sandbags for a construction job. >> he's working wednesday. >> that way we don't bring too much mud inside the job, david says. >> while he knows the rain has its benefits, the constant onslaught makes his job even more difficult. >> we're going to bring everything inside, make sure everything is dry, bring it out, bring it inside again. so it's kind of it's kind of hard. >> and for those not working out in the elements, groneman says it's still important to take precautions. it's better to be ready now than when it's too late. >> be prepared. we want to really preach resilience in our communities. have a go bag, have a plan. check on your neighbors, your elderly neighbors as. >> a marin county fire officials say when we do have storms like this, the best and safest place for you to be is inside your home in marin county. tim johns

2021, though of course, hate crimes are not the only type of crimes affecting this community. >> accountability matters and making sure you are supported and cared for matters and that is the work that we have done and will continue to do. >> breed, along with district attorney brooke jenkins and police chief william scott, also took the opportunity to warn seniors about blessing scams around lunar new year. that's where thieves trick people into handing over valuables to be blessed at by claiming that they're facing a harmful spirit. >> this weekend, san francisco will celebrate the year of the dragon, and today, the san francisco chinese chamber of commerce joined with the police chief and the assistant sheriff to talk about this weekend's festivities. there will be additional officers and deputies at the parade and in chinatown. community leaders say the new year season is the most significant time for chinatown businesses, and the year of the dragon is looking very positive. >> the first day of the new

business owners has filed claims against the city. they say the presence of the bike lane violates their rights and hurts the economic vitality of the area. >> abc seven news reporter luz pena has been covering this story since last year, joining us in studio with the latest, hi, luz. hey. >> this is after almost nine months since the construction of the center bike lane. and today, three business owners filed complaints against the city. the group said at least 20 other

business owners are set to file complaints in the coming days and weeks. standing behind their attorney, a group of valencia street business owners said they reached their breaking point today. they filed multiple claims against the city of san francisco over the controversial valencia street center. >> bike lane violates not only our clients civil rights, but also the city's charter, which mandates that the city protect the economic welfare of its businesses. the center bike lane has been a catastrophic failure to the business. aces on valencia street. >> the claim seeks immediate removal of the bike lane and compensation for financial losses caused by the bike lane. one of those business owners said the bike lane contributed to the closure of his music venue in november. >> we are declaring here today that we are incredibly inspired and motivated by how many citizens are rising up, speaking out and filing claims against the city right along with us. kevin ortiz represents multiple

businesses on valencia, he said today's claims are the first of a wave of many others. >> this is one of the few times that, you know, community and businesses are fighting back. we've had multiple businesses closed down as a result of the bike lane. right. and so, you know, you know, folks feel like this is their last, like option. >> and for the first time, the valencia merchants association, which represents 200 businesses here and has been meeting with sfmta behind closed doors. it's also making their stance against the bike lane public with this letter, but we want it gone immediately. >> the timing is really important. we want we kind of want people to pay attention to what's going on here and treat this as the emergency that it is. we have lost a lot of merchants and we're continuing to lose merchants. >> it comes ahead of the latest sfmta board of directors meeting. after feedback, and some say pressure from many in this community, the agency is now considering to change the bike lane design into a side running bikeway. >> regarding the middle valencia pilot project, but some cyclists don't want sfmta to change the

center bike lane at all. >> i feel safer, i ride with my one year old. i feel like i can see what's happening because i'm not worried about getting doored or run over sustained transportation advocate luke bornheimer started the better valencia campaign about a year ago, before the center bike lane was approved. >> he says many cyclists here are against it. >> i'm really happy to see mta uh- coming forward with two designs for curbside protected bike lanes and really talking about change adding the center bikeway to a curbside protected bike lane design. >> and the biggest setback, according to business owners, is the removal of seven parking spots to build the bike lane. as to the claims, the city has now 45 days to investigate and decide if the claims are denied. business owners have six months to file a lawsuit, but luz pena, abc seven news lucy, thank you. >> check this out. damage on the wing of a united airlines plane forced an emergency landing yesterday. the flight was going

from sfo to boston. >> the damaged part you see there is a slat, not a flap. the slats are on the front part of the wing. they help the airplane fly more slowly and controllably . so what we're seeing there is the trailing edge of that slat where the damage was done. luckily, that's where the damage was and not to the front part of the slat. if the damage had been more to the front part, it could have affected the controllability of the airplane slats or flaps. >> it's still pretty scary to look out the window and see that the flight landed safely in denver. another plane took customers all the way to boston, where they arrived early this morning. good to many airline incidents lately. >> yeah, i know, i mean, people, you know, they're on edge with flying now. all right. we've been on edge. i mean, we were warned that we get the flash flood warning, but boom, when it came down, it was hard. >> yeah. and spencer, you know, driving across the bay bridge this afternoon. yeah, it was just a torrential downpour. yeah >> did you notice the rain drops? seemed larger and heavier. almost like like hailstones and angrier. >> yeah.

>> angrier? yes it's been an angry storm, and we've had enough of it. let's take a look at live doppler seven. you can see what's going on right now. so not to make light of this, because the rain we had this afternoon was drenching and produced widespread flooding, especially here in the city of san francisco, where we had a flash flood warning in effect for a couple of hours. that has expired now, as the body of the bulk of the rain has moved over to our east, so we still have areas of stormy weather developing off shore. so it's not over yet. but in terms of the rain that larry and i were talking about that we both encountered driving into work today, much of that now is over in the antioch area down toward discovery bay. so it's moving well inland. but there is more on the way, as i pointed out. you can see that here on the satellite radar image, as more stormy weather is developing out at sea and then moving directly toward the central part of the bay area. excuse me. on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale, today's storm is a level two storm. we have had and will continue to have bursts of heavy rain. thunderstorms are possible , and of course, localized

flooding has already developed and will continue. forecast animation starting at 430 shows more rain moving onshore right through the central part of the bay area. from the north bay, down through the golden gate onto the peninsula, pushing eastward between now and about 6 p.m. and then after six, we're going to see the intensity ease up just a little bit. and the widespread rainfall will become more in little pockets of scattered showers. as we approach the late night hours, but still, we will have been left with a significant a significant amount of rainfall. so by 7 p.m. tomorrow, we're talking about additional rainfall totals, anywhere from about a 10th of an inch to down to san jose, over a third of an inch. uh- ben lomond 7/10 of an inch. nearly a half inch will fall at napa between now and tomorrow afternoon. then tomorrow evening, yountville about 4/10, and the entire bay area is still under a flood watch because of the saturated soil and the continued downpours, we're receiving wind is calm. that's good news.

nothing like the gusts that we had yesterday. 24 hour temperature change shows us anywhere from four to about nine degrees cooler today than at this time yesterday. so let's take a look at current temperature readings. generally low to mid 40. no. low to mid 50s san francisco oakland, hayward, san jose, san mateo half moon bay. also low 50s. yeah, very low 50s at santa rosa, petaluma and napa, fairfield, concord and livermore . and overnight we can expect clouds to linger and a few spotty showers that will continue into tomorrow morning. overnight lows generally mid to upper 40s. a bit chillier than last night was. and highs tomorrow with morning showers generally in the upper 50s to low 60s. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. so level one storm tomorrow. but that's mainly a morning event a morning showers giving way to afternoon sunshine. good news there. sunnier and drier on thursday. a mix of sun and clouds on friday. mostly sunny and dry again on saturday. now sunday becomes partly cloudy. we

don't expect any rain on sunday, but as those clouds increase going into early next week, there's a chance of showers on monday. but so far it doesn't seem that anything is going to develop like the storms we've had lately. for quite a few days, so we should be drying out nicely for a while after this. >> that's small stuff. we're not even worried about that. what is this sunshine you speak of? >> so it's a it's a foreign concept right now. yeah. i'll have to study it more. all right. explain it tomorrow. >> thank you. get back to us. >> yeah. >> a california and sweden are renewing their commitment to international climate collaboration. governor gavin newsom joined a swedish delegation to sign the renewed partnership between the two governments at a ceremony in sacramento. newsom says a lot more has been learned about the climate crisis since the first partnership was signed back in 2017. we have agency we can shape the future futures, not just something to experience. >> it's something to manifest. it's our decisions, not conditions that will determine the fate and future of this planet as it relates to the issue of climate. >> officials say the aim of the

perhaps reporter denise dador from our sister station in los angeles, looks at what a new study found. >> people were not highly ranked emergency veterinarian doctor ross bernstein and his golden retriever, duma, are talking about a first of its kind universal of wisconsin-madison study. >> veterinary ophthalmologist wanted to find out which screen images piqued canine curiosity. dogs and some cartoons were definitely ranked much higher than people. >> after surveying 1600 households, scientist s discovered pooches would rather tune into dog shows. >> animal programing and even

the animated versions. but the point isn't to raise puppy viewership. the goal is to develop more sophisticated ways to test your rover's eyes. if there's different studies in the future that we can track their eye movements to see if there's different breed variations, says current vision tests conducted at the vet's office provide only the most basic information. so if duma and you were there, how would you check his vision? >> yeah, the first thing i would do, it's called the menace response. you're pretty much just put your hand in front of their eye and see whether or not they blink. >> vets can also check a dog's nerve reflex as we just touch around the eye, and then they should blink. if man's best friend could. doc researchers say this would be equivalent to asking a human if they're blind or not. so for now, doctor bernstein advises yearly vet checks to make sure that their their eyes are healthy, their tear production is normal. >> there's no scratches or abrasions on the surface of their eye. >> the study did find the older a dog got, the less interested

they were in screens. >> maybe we can help their lives more as they age. >> at least we now have a pretty good idea of what your pup would prefer to watch on movie night in los angeles. dennis studer, abc seven news. >> all right, we have a winner, archie is the name of the newest falcon to team up with. annie on cal berkeley's campanile tower. the falcon is named after archie williams. a cal alum who won olympic gold in 1936 and flew air force planes during world war two, 40% of the votes went to archie. galen was the second place vote. archie appeared with annie a short time ago after her previous male companion companions mysteriously vanished. >> sleep with one eye open, archie. that's a dangerous, dangerous situation over there. yeah uh- coming up. a group of doctors hitting the streets to help the homeless. >> there are lots of people who can't manage being inside, even for small amounts of time.

>> now they're working to keep the crisis from turning into a complete catastrophe. and another doctor going back to school, his late life change in direction, making him the oldest nba student ever at cal

really impossible to address all of their medical needs, despite millions and millions of dollars that the city pours into this problem. >> but at one clinic, doctors are doing what they can to keep this crisis from turning into a catastrophe. can their work help us build a better bay area? >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez followed a small team of doctors, and this group. they are in the trenches.

>> they certainly are. and you know what comes to mind? god bless them. really what they do. you know, we know that taking care of themselves, their health is not always a priority for many living on our streets or in shelters. there are so many other distractions and concerns they are dealing with, so we're going to show you now some of the people who care that the unhoused stay somewhat healthy and, yes, alive when it comes to medically treating the unhoused. the unconventional has now become habitual. all are okay okay, every friday, a small medical team from the san francisco health department comes to treat patients in this isolated bayview encampment. what do you see out here? >> we tend to see things that we see in the clinic, but they're often more severe because they've been, like unattended to for longer. people with more severe mental illness, more severe addiction and substance use disorders. >> and the reason that you come

out here, what is that instead of them going to the clinic, they're there are lots of people who can't manage being inside, even for small amounts of time, who their mental illness is so intense that they're too paranoid to come in, they're too weak or too ill to come in. >> this is a patient i've known for a long time. we're drawing some blood and talking about some medications. >> we restarted doctor catherine taylor treats anyone willing to be cared for. it takes trust. >> but how many days do you think in a week have you taken it? >> this type of homeless health care is an effective way to keep them from ending up in the emergency room. after her weekly checkup, juliana amos spoke to us about being unhoused for the past five years. i assume that you don't interact with many people. what does it mean to you for doctors to come to you? >> um, it means a lot because i

don't like going on the busses. the long bus ride, you know, down there. and sometimes i forget to come in. so it's good that they come out here. >> if they didn't exist, what would happen to you? >> uh, if i were dead. >> despite her circumstances, we couldn't help but notice how the american flag is the first thing you come across. >> as we like our freedom out here, you know? so we know what's going on out there. we don't want to be stuck in sros where everybody's doing their drugs and dying. those unhoused or living in sros are closer to the downtown area and have access to a network of outreach teams. >> we staff between 8 and 9 vans a day, so 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. >> last year, in 2023, we responded to just over 11,000 calls. here's the outcome of their interactions with those struggling on the streets. >> 25% are taken to the hospital. another 25 are

transported to a clinic or shelter, and the remaining 50% either don't meet the criteria for a psychiatric hold or they decline their services. when you reach out to somebody, is it frustrating when you know that person needs so much help and intervention, but they don't want it? >> yes, of course, you know, but that's the that's the thing that we do the best is building that trust, building that report. and just being consistently able and showing up because someone showed up is white. >> joseph peterson is alive today. >> all i did was kept drinking and using drugs. so therefore, after many years of doing that, my legs started having problems. complications with my legs. so they had to amputate my feet. >> what made you decide i've had enough? >> because he kept checking on me and he was coming up there to check on me to see how i'm doing. and that helped me a lot.

i said, somebody really care about me. >> you know, today, peterson has permanent housing and helps out at the maria x martinez health resource center, a clinic dealing specifically with the unhoused population. >> this building opened a little over a year ago. we're finding is really working for people. >> the clinic is strategically located in the south of market area and sees between 60 and 70 patients. a day. >> they can come in to see the dentist and then find out, oh, you have a psychiatrist here, and they can see the psychiatrist the same day, all in one. >> they also offer addiction treatment. why do you continue to volunteer here? because they took the time out to help me, and i don't mind helping them back. so the city's health department runs 14 primary care clinics and any homeless person can go to one of them. but really, that's the only one that helps them get stable and get other care under one roof. but they're not open 24 over seven. they close. the clinic closes at

430. you know, so there is a, you know, long gap. but as one outreach person told me, it's we don't have enough people, staff, nurses, doctors to care for all these people. yeah. another challenge to keep up, right. yeah. >> and many probably think it's a thankless job. yeah all right, leanne, thank you. sure. all right. uh, new proposal would offer free books on drug recovery at san francisco public libraries. now, if approved, san francisco would be the very first city in the nation to do so. the library launched a pilot program in april to distribute recovery materials at three public library branches. and since then, the city says more than 2600 books have been distributed. >> a very important conversation took place today in oakland. lady gaga's born this way foundation co-hosted a panel on youth mental health with interim senator, us senator laphonza butler of california. it gave youngsters an opportunity to make their voices heard. lady

gaga's mother shared her personal story and why this crisis is so important to her. the urgency of early intervention and education to train and equip young people is. >> that's one thing that i would change if i had a magic wand. >> i think it's it starts with caring about other people and being able to level and empathize with them that we can open, open up the conversation about mental health, and a lot of the like, specifically the born. >> this way foundation says california has the second highest rate of anxiety and depression in the united states. america's new team and the best comfort foods on a cold, rainy day. like this. the fort four is next

conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong for california. but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey. adam schiff for senate. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

sportscaster bob costas says the kansas city chiefs now deserve the mythical title. costas bases his pronouncement on the chiefs three super bowl victories in the last five years. of course, they beat 40 niners a couple of weeks ago, as well as the greatness of quarterback patrick mahomes and the star powered romance of travis kelce and taylor swift. meanwhile the cowboys haven't done much of anything for like, the last three decades, so spencer, is it based more on performance than anything else? >> i think it's a combination of
