right now another 6:00, a rainy weekend in the bay area is still coming down in parts of our area. rob is tracking what we can expect as we head into the workweek. in the sierra, highway 80 closed for the rest of the night. when the road might reopen. and hopefully you have a plan to vote with just two days until the california primary. we're tracking early voting numbers as one city leader got out to cast his ballot today.

after wet weekend the rain showers are continuing across the bay area tonight. live look outside and you see only blue sky there in san francisco for sure. some drops falling though in places. up in the sierra the brunt of the blizzard has passed and left cars and homes completely buried in the snow. look at this. wow, towing it out of there. i-80 remains closed tonight from colfax through the nevada state line. 90-mile stretch. crews are working to clear the roads with cars and large trucks getting stranded in the snow. a live look right now at 80 in soda springs. roads completely covered in snow and it's closed and that's a fact and caltrans says the road will not be reopening today and going to have a live report from one of the resorts that's had to close over the past few days. too much of a good thing.

first let's bring in meteorologist rob myeta with the latest. >> a few breaks in the clouds around san francisco but clearly rain around san jose. we can confirm that on the radar strew the storm ranger mobile doppler radar just south of the airport extending to los gatos and campbell and over the santa cruz mountains roaming downpours. a bit of a break now closer to san francisco and the tri- valley seeing the heavier rain showers pushing off to the east. so the trend we're seeing right now, widely scattered showers and that will continue as we get into tomorrow morning though the intensity of the showers should back off a bit as we head towards monday morning. clearing skies by the way the north bay could set us up for patchy frost for tomorrow morning. what's changed in the sierra forecast was the extension of the blizzard warning through midnight tonight. then after midnight it transitions to a winter storm warning so it sounds challenge for road crews there trying to pick things up but it should mean lower snowfall rates and

more importantly a lot less wind in the forecast. an additional foot of snow could come down close to monday. however not close to the rates we saw this weekend. instead of wind gusts to 60 miles per hour, dropping back to 25, 30 miles per hour tomorrow which is good news for avalanche control and trying to get i-89 # open again during the day tomorrow. coming up, we'll talk more about the next chance of rain approaching the middle part of the week. the extended 7 day forecast coming up in about ten minutes. >> rob, thank you very much. right now on the peninsula a crash on highway 91 causing a massive traffic backup between skyline boulevard and main street. and san mateo county. chp shut down the highway in both directions earlier but now it is reopened and traffic is rolling again. no injuries reported after an suv crashed into an embankment. and a reminder when we are not on the air you can always track the show and the rain on the go. just download the nbc bay area app and use your camera to scan the qr code on your screen right now. it will take you straight to

the radar. decision 2024 now. candidates and campaigns are making a final push this weekend ahead of the election on tuesday. in addition to a presidential primary, a number of state and local races go before voters. nbc bay area's christy smith has a look at the final push. >> we've already been processing ballots now for a few weeks. and right now we're just getting ready for election day. >> reporter: john arntz is director of elections in san francisco and says they've already received about 75,000 ballots. the march primary is tuesday it's a big operation. >> a decent turnout at the polls. not as high as it was prior to emailing ballots but the changes is that people drop off the ballots and that's actually the -- the greatest source of vote by mail ballots on election day are the polling places. >> reporter: mail-in ballots for the primary began going out to registered voters in

california in early february. numbers from the secretary of state's office show that of the 22 million ballots that have gone out. only about 2.5 million have come back so far. and there's a lot on the ballot. in addition to the presidential primary, and number of key state and local races, will go before voters. >> i think what will drive people to the polls are two statewide races. one is the senate race technically two races. >> reporter: nolan is a professor of history and communication at cal state east bay. >> then of course i think proposition 1 will drive people out. >> reporter: meantime voters dropping off their ballots today say it's important to have a voice. >> i think my vote needs to count. you know, everybody's should count. >> reporter: to make sure your ballot gets counted, make sure it's postmarked on or before election day. you can also drop it off at a polling place between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on election day. christy smith, nbc bay area

news. well, san jose mayor matt mahan cast his ballot today in- person. making it a family affair, there he is. he held his daughters' hand the whole way through and his wife took the hand of the toddler son. afterward he talked about the importance of exercising the right to vote. >> at the end of the day, the quality of our government is really determined by how engaged we are. we have a government of by and for the people. and we have to really get involved and understand what's on our ballot. >> mahan is running against retired councillor wade and since the only two candidates, the race will be decided on tuesday. rather than in november. the supreme court expected to issue a ruling tomorrow on whether colorado can ban former president trump from the primary ballot. last month, the high court heard oral arguments about whether mr. president trump can be barred from the ballot because of his role in the attack on the u.s. capitol. the case centers around the 14th amendment which says people are not eligible to

serve in government if they quote engage in insurrection. tomorrow's ruling will not only affect colorado's primary but maine and illinois i'll as well. the former president is not charged with insurrection. we have an entire section on our website dedicated to the upcoming election and you can use the qr code on your screen to go to the page directly. or head to nbcbayarea.com and click on super tuesday at the top of the page. police are investigating a deadly hit and run in vallejo happened and 9:00 friday night on sonoma boulevard near valley vista avenue. when officers got there, they found a man who had been bit by a car. the driver was headed east on valley vista when the crash happened and they're asking anyone with information to come forward. this is vallejo's first traffic death of the year. police azested a suspected arsonist who forced the closure

of a north bay target. that fire happened last saturday at the target on admiral callahan lane. police say the suspect sparked it in one corner of store and investigators released photos of suspect last week. within one day, officers had an arrest. investigators originally estimated the damage to be about $1 million. but after more inspections that number is up to $4 million all because of smoke damage. and we are learning more about a clash between pro palestinian demonstrators and police last night. calling for a cease fire and more aid and an end to u.s. military support of israel. in san francisco, this video you see here showing police using pepper spray and batons on some protesters. demonstrators who we spoke with say the violence was quote, completely unwarranted. san francisco police with another side of the coin. they released a statement reading quote -- the group became violent and began to commit crimes ranging from

assault to felony vandalism and causing property damage. a few of the officers at the scene suffered non-life- threatening injuries, along with one suspect who was participating. police also say the case is an active and open investigation. thousands took to the streets of san francisco today to stand with the jewish community. the unity march started at embarcadero and ended with city hall. they were holding signs and waving flags. >> we actually stand for love and peace and unity and we stand against hate of all kind. and the jewish community both here in the bay area and around the world, have seen a spike in anti-semitism and hate crimes that is we haven't seen sincethe holocaust. >> mayor london breed and state senator scott wiener among the speakers at today's event. and up next, the special

event in san francisco focused on empowering asian women during this women's history month. we will take you there. and also, back open. yosemite rangers welcoming visitors again after the massive storm which parts of the park you can visit again. right now, san jose, you do need that umbrella as you can see there. some rainy skies over downtown. and as you see on our storm ranger mobile doppler radar rain pushing through the bay area and showers to follow as area and showers to follow as we head back into you didn't live this strong, this long to get put on the shelf like a porcelain doll. if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and are at high risk for fracture, you can build new bone with evenity®. ask your doctor if you can do more than just slowing down bone loss with evenity®. want stronger bones? then build new bone; evenity® can help in just 12 months. evenity® is proven to reduce spine fracture risk by 73%.

march is women's history month and today thousands showed up to an event in san francisco specifically celebrating asian women. it was called asian women are strong and the event took place at the ferry building on the embarcadero. i think we know that woman. yeah. the voices who empower api women of all ages and featured speakers and art and activity and booths and self-defense exercises and resources and more. it was a full day to say the least and our very own gia vang was there volunteering and christine ni was there moderating a panel. this year's theme was conquering our challenges together. >> how we connect, different generations. different socioeconomic. right. and those cultural differences and when we say asian you know, it's so broad. definitely not -- right and we all have different experiences and also a lot of similarities

shared experiences. where we can really find our strength together. >> the asians are strong movement began in 2021 in response to the wave of violent crime against the api community. the aapi community. organizers intend to keep up the free annual events for as long as there is a need. vice president kamala harris traveled to alabama today to commemorate the 59th anniversary of bloody sunday. harris spoke at the annual march across the bridge in selma. it memorializes the day in 1965 when officers attacked civil rights demonstrators trying to cross the bridge. pictures stunned americans and garnered support for the voting rights act and that act struck down barriers blocking black people from voting. today harris criticized more recent attempts by politicians to restrict voting rights including limits on absentee an early voting. >> today we know our fight forfreedom is not over.

in this moment we are witnesses a fullon attack on hard fought, hard won freedoms. >> harris also drew parallels between those who stifled several rights movements and those who are trying to restraint voting education and reproductive care today. yosemite national park has partially reopened and that park shut down friday because of the blizzard warning. several roads inside park are now open but some have chain controls. the park expects to open camp grounds tomorrow if conditions continue to improve. the person i would ask to see if the conditions are going to continue to improve is rob mayeda who happens to be here right now. >> which by tomorrow it will get better. from a blizzard warning to winter storm warning. the snow is not going to stop. just not going to be as heavy. right now still some rain in san jose. a closer look at that on the radar in a moment. some clearing and also some showers a bit earlier some downpours around contra costa county there. and walnut creek. now got partly cloudy skies

closer to san francisco. and at 51 degrees and if you thought it was king of chilly for this time of year, you'd be right. today's highs only in the low to mid-50s and upper 50s near san jose. as we move forward now into the beginning of march we should see highs closer to the mid 60s and we will get there by the second half of the upcoming week. now for the morning it will be cold and perhaps cold enough for the frost to form in the north bay valleys and frost advisory up for the north bay from 1:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning and where 30s are possible. but in the afternoon maybe a little bit of warming not much change until later in the week though. get closer to 60 around san jose and upper 60s to highs around oakland. a look on the radar. scattered showers and not the severe thunderstorms we had 24 hours ago. so while we've had the rain at times the intensity in term of stronger thunderstorms really not there right now. you can see a few spotty showers there around the east bay hills and a few more out into the north bay. so we still have moisture coming in mixed with the sunny

breaks and we had at times today. this will keep a chance of showers ongoing into tomorrow morning. but not as much as we've seen over the weekend. so you notice as we head towards monday morning, some of the brief clearing into the north bay which could allow for some patchy frost. then the transition for the afternoon will be shower chances mainly north of san francisco and probably see more of that actually as we head into tuesday. notice here how the next storm system as it drops down to coast bringing in the chance of rain around the bay area. as early as tuesday morning. but mainly for areas on the upper peninsula up towards the north bay. now for the entire bay area, the best chance of rain looks to be right there on wednesday. and then thursday and friday, the skies start to clear and that's what's going to lead to the warmest days of the week and in fact friday's highs may run towards the upper 60s. now as we move forward towards the weekend, sunday right now tracking a little bit drier before perhaps some more rain

and yes more sierra snow will be in the extended weather forecast and let's give you the view there of the 7 day forecast as we take a closer look. san francisco temperatures rebounding a bit in the low 60s for the second half of the week. and inland temperatures which have been in the 50s finally make a run towards the mid- and upper 60s later in the week. stay tuned for the next storm in the series as we head to next weekend right now terry doesn't look like it's going to have my blizzard warnings attached but the sierra snow pack when we get the update tomorrow i think is now 100% of average and to higher. the official numbers later tomorrow. terry? back up to the sierra. rob has been talking about the snow piling up and here it is. video from north lake tahoe. shows what it looked like thursday morning before the stormment then friday morning you see the -- snow on the railing there. yesterday morning. so much snow came as you -- can't even see it anymore.

brian, i'm looking at you right now. rob says it was still snowing up in the mountains and i think what's going on behind you proves that to be true. what's going on up there right now and where are you? >> i'm actually sitting in a snow cat righted of the main lodge. we've got other snow cats going by us. and it is absolutely still snowing up here. it's coming down real hard. we've had crews camping out on mountain now for three nights and tonight will be our fourth night. just because travel up and down the road is getting so nasty that we'd rather camp out and just keep up with the storm. we've had some really windy nights. back off a little bit on the winds but it's still definitely coming down right now. >> all right. compare this what we've had the last couple of nights to previous storms you have seen up there on the mountain. you have been up there for a while and you know the history. how did this compare? >> this one has been intense. it's been -- a longer period of time than normal. and much stronger winds for that whole period of time. you know, we're used to seeing

those gusts of winds 100 miles per hour. but we've had sustained winds pretty close to that overnight the last couple of nights. and that's cause for real whiteout conditions. we recorded 116-mile-per-hour gusts at the top of one of the lifts last night. >> wow. >> it's -- yeah, just the length of this storm. we're usually used to the sierra storms that can be pretty heavy. but for it to go on this long and this intense, is something else. >> we talked to caltrans earlier, they're saying that 80 is going to be open tomorrow sometime. what's the situation for your resort and what's that going to be open for skiers. >> we have one more day at least of digging out you know, the caltrans did great job over here on the highway 50 side. it's remained most of the time open and they have closed several times for avalanche control and spinouts but highway 50 has remained open. we're still digging out our road and once the winds and snow die down a little bit more tonight. we've got lot of digging ahead

of us. a full day of digging out tomorrow and we'll have crews up there with snow cats digging out lifts and lodges and the parking lots. hopefully we'll get back up on the hill the day after tomorrow. >> i've been talking to them all week long. they are beyond excited about going out that first moment untracked snow and they say it's a rush like no other. talk to us as a skier, because you know how that feels. >> oh absolutely. this is -- this is what we all love. it's -- this is why we do it. these wide open powder days. we got one more day of digging out but should have the goods and it looks like little bit of snow in the forecast all the week. free refills all week. >> bryan, thank you. i love the snow in the background. thank you so much for joining us. have a great week. >> my pleasure. have a good night. >> all right. thanks a lot.
