the flea market property is prime real estate for housing. in 2021, the city approved a plan to build nearly 3,500 homes. but with the cost of construction rising, the property owners changed their plan, proposing to build only about 900 homes. the city isn't thrilled about that. >> if it means waiting a few years until the interest rates come down and the cost of construction will stabilize, i think that's the right thing to do. >> reporter: in the meantime, those who make their living have been kept at a state of uncertainty with an agreement they will get a year's notice once a decision to build is made. and they were expecting something in january. but on friday, the word came down. >> they sent us an e-mail saying that the flea market has

11:18 pm
looks like we will have rain you said in a couple of hours, but also maybe some lightning? >> yes. that's the headline. this complex of thunderstorms that's sitting right off the coast will wake a lot of people up. probably over the next few hours. give it another hour or two before this smooths overhead. while that's the exciting thing for tonight, there's three days to go here, where we are tracking two separate storms. a lot of communities impacted by this. the first one is tomorrow morning's commute. start thinking ahead for rain. i'll show you why in a second. before i get to that, the matter at hand right now is clearly this complex of thunderstorms, sitting right off the coast and drifting our way. so the likely progression of this is for these showers to start to work their way overhead. it may not hold together as impressively as it looked right there on the last frame. in other words we may not be under a barrage of lightning by 2:00 a.m. but i think you probably are going to get woken up. you're going to sleep soon. you'll likely hear some thunder within that 2:00, 3:00 hour. here is why i would
11:19 pm
say this. look at that line of deep red that will show up here, tracking the storm for so many days, talking about the different kinds of models, their benefits, or inability with this. what we're looking at here is the best possible model available. picking up on a system, taking it ahead two to three hours. the rainfall rates could also be impressive. the complex thunderstorm is dropping an inch an hour. if they maintain that intensity, then that's enough to cause some minor localized street flooding. some ponding on the roadways because it will be around for a while in the overnight hours. when we get up, here is 5:00 a.m. we are still seeing this well put together line of showers overhead. i would start
11:20 pm
planning now. if you've got to be up early tomorrow, i would start planning now for extra time because you're going to have some wet roads to deal with, slowing the drive down. that's the first aspect of this, impacts on roadways, and anything you hear over night. it gets windy tomorrow. we'll have 30 miles an hour gusts tomorrow with this. so that is kind of like one of the headlines. then we keep scattered showers going with that through the afternoon, before the rainfall will pick up again in intensity. tomorrow night into tuesday, i'm just going to the camera for a moment because that's the one on top, you're looking at the salesforce tower, looking out to the north. i've seen four flashes of lightning. i've already got a personal eyewitness account of the lightning out there. if you watch how this goes, it will be on again, off again. then on
11:21 pm
wednesday, there is another storm that will come in. that line of rain right there, an entirely separate storm, and will keep the chances of rain going into wednesday and thursday with plenty of breaks here. it will not rain intensely for four days. but it's a busy forecast. when you look at it, you'll see a chance of rain on each of these next three days for monday, tuesday, and wednesday. by thursday likely near the tail end of it. it will be an active night with that line of thunderstorms is probably the first order of business to be aware of. all right. back to you. after the break, we will take a look back at a strange mass wedding ceremony kpix, the bay area's first television station, celebrating 75 years. test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test
