napa and sonoma county could see heavy rain at times on sunday. pretty much watching our rivers, creeks and streams. we have not had any big storms here lately and the water levels are still low, but they could reach the monitor stage. we're looking at this system that is going to be approaching, once again, moving in tomorrow afternoon. there's more developing behind that. we get this compounded affect where we see several days of storms and then we start to see the flooding issues. initially, once again, we are not expecting any major issues with flooding up until sunday when we do see the heavier rain moving in, shown by the darker shades of green, and we will have had 24 hours of rain that has been falling. we will continue to monitor all of the river and creek levels as well as the low-lying areas that typically flood with heavy rain. we will have another look at the forecast in a few minutes.

>> is that intentional you are doing what your mom did? >> well, the funny thing is i remember as a kid berating my mom for what she did. >> why? >> you know, i think as somebody that grows up in a very liberal area where you think managing money is negative for the world, you don't see the positives of it, i was probably a little flip flipant. >> laura banks, my guest on "sandhill road." they have a great relationship now. very important women in the world of finance. >> yeah, she grew up knowing the importance of making a little money, contributing to the economy. >> right. pickleball players are getting ready to voice their concerns, this after the city threatened to remove some of the

we're looking at clouds reaching into the bay area. it's going to be a mostly cloudy day, filtered sunshine. it does stay dry up until tomorrow when the rain will be coming in, as the center of the storm system gets a lot closer. there's a couple of them developing out there. the first wave of rain comes in late tomorrow afternoon into the evening, and it just continues off and on. looks like it gets heavier on saturday morning for the north bay, but still spotty showers in and around the bay area through saturday evening. we have been watching the forecast closely, and it doesn't look like it tapers off for quite a while. there will be some breaks here, but it picks up and gets heavier for sunday into monday. we will see a brief break. looking at how much rain we could see here, it's really lit up here as we see the potential in parts of the north bay, that bright pink, even the light pink, that's three to possibly up to five inches of rainfall. where we see the red, that's about one to two inches of rain.

that's what most of us will see in the east bay, the peninsula into the south bay. a lot of concerns there with heavy rainfall and days of rain that will be coming in waves off and on. the 7-day forecast, look for temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s. it does say mild. we will not see a shift temperature wise, but there will be times of rain coming in and it looks soggy with the exception of tuesday with another system coming in behind that. a lot to watch here over the next few days. mike, you have been watching the morning commute. any issues slowing people down? >> the commute itself right now, kari. the timing on the richmond san rafael bridge, the limited visibility in novato all the way over towards napa will have the toughest view, but the sun will come up and things will change as far as conditions. slowing at the richmond bridge

possible along with gusty winds. as far as temperatures, we are headed for the low to mid-60s today. upper 50s for the inland tri-valley as well as the east bay. for the north bay, we will see highs reaching up to close to 60 degrees. as we track that rain tomorrow, the afternoon is when it will start to ramp up. it will be off and on throughout the weekend. we will look at that timeline coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you. sobering new numbers coming in this morning on the drug overdoses crisis, and ginger conejero saab is live in san francisco this morning. ginger, whether you live or visit san francisco, you have likely seen the affects from the issue, and the number of deadly overdoses has never been higher. >> reporter: that's right. it's very sad to hear that more people have died from overdoses in san francisco than ever before, marcus.

806 overdose deaths were recorded in the city last year. city officials are calling it tragic. the director of san francisco's public health said they also districted 125,000 doses. >> we worked hard in 2023 to save lives, and we will continue to do so in 2024. we will continue to break down barriers to treatment, because treatment works. we will maintain our strong focus on increasing treatment options and making them more accessible. >> reporter: sfdph is asking for support in their work and calling on lawmakers to increase access to methadone and boost investments in the behavioral workforce. the city saw a decrease in overdose deaths in the month of

december last year. the city recorded 52 deaths, which is down from december of 2022, the year before, which had 75 deaths. still, dr. colfax said this is nothing to tout about in a year of record deaths. the city's health leaders say those deaths involved fentanyl, and saeu low sean was also a contributor to the overdose deaths. this drug is being recognized for its more potent high. mayor london breed will have a roundtable discussion that will highlight prop f, and that will be about the general assistance program. to be eligible for assistance, which is $687 per month, individuals suspected of substance use would also need to undergo a drug screening.

this is our time to get things prepped around the house and get ready for the rain. this is a view from dublin as the sun comes up underneath the clouds. we will see the clouds linger throughout the day, so not a lot of sunshine. we had low visibility in parts of the north bay, and we are seeing zero visibility under the dense fog. watch out for those patches of dense fog in the north bay. elsewhere, once again, we are seeing the clouds stretching in. we are seeing light showers further to the north, although for most of us we are going to stay dry today. tomorrow is when we start to see the bulk of the storm system arriving, and it will be off and on throughout the weekend. before we get the big rainfall, we want to check in on the reservoirs that are pretty low for the south bay reservoirs. lexington reservoir, not even halfway at capacity. it's a lot higher for marin and east bay mudd, but we will most likely continue to see the water

levels going up. there's a chance we could see a atmospheric river, and that enhances the rainfall, and so there could be a potential of an inch and a half to seven inches of rainfall. when we get all of the rain coming down with the gusty winds, there could be issues with power. make sure you are prepared for that in advance. we could also see rivers and streets flooding as well. the timeline of the rain starts to arrive during the afternoon into the evening, and it's once again, off and on throughout the day on saturday, and that does show the potential of rain for saturday evening. we could see a lot more rain on the way. the areas of pink and red indicate four to five inches of rainfall. the highest rainfall totals would be in the north bay. there looks to be a brief break on tuesday with more rain on wednesday. it's going to get active here with times of soggy weather. enjoy today while it's still dry. mike, you have been watching

a couple issues with the commute? >> yeah, looks like a crew has arrived to lend assistance, whatever is going on in the service lane. it's no longer a major distraction. folks know it's there and have been passing it for many minutes, so the traffic flow is smooth across the san mateo bridge with the slight build off the nimitz. dumbarton is clear if you want to use that. there's a little more volume and fog in the north bay, but it's burning off a bit as we talked about, as kari talked about, cotton candy skies. there it is. >> sweet. happening now, open ai ceo is reacting to the "new york times" lawsuit against the company. artificial intelligence programs like chatgpt need material to learn from, and the suit says they used material without
