maybe hit this and then i hit this. and -- why california cannot kick donald trump off the ballot. >> people think california is a great frustrated that does whatever it wants to do. >> for now, anyway. from kpix, this is late news with sara donchey . on cbs news bay area. >> good evening, i am juliette goodrich in for sarah tonight. the bay area got drenched today and it looks like the rain is starting to come down but we are not done with the storm yet. heavy rain earlier today turned the sonoma county road into a rushing river. station road just outside of windsor was impassable. and up the road in cloverdale, a falling tree took out a deck on river road. fortunately nobody was hurt some powerlines also came down. and on the coastline,

there is still a risk of powerful waves and choppy serve, parts of santa cruz county under evacuation warnings right now including capitola village where business owners broke out the sandbags tonight. oh yes, waves like these pounded the coastline, flooding the village and causing damage and people are still warned to stay away from the coast. let's get more on our weather forecast into the new year, let's head on over to meteorologist darren peck. one item at a time we will talk more about the high surf because we've got another one. a totally new and separate as well, that is a factor but first, dealing with the initial element of the storm, that is this really well organized cold front that has been marching across the bay. since about 5:00 this evening. if you watched the last two hours, you can actually see the cold front, watch that line as a ghost to the santa clara valley

into the tri-valley and rights to exit towards the used . so we are through the heaviest and most widespread steady rain, if you look at what is left in terms of a flood advisory, there is one little patch here through santa clara valley. into the san mateo county. and mountain view you are included where we still have a flood advisory there and of course the santa cruz mountains have one as well. so slightly elevated streams there and for mountain view it will be more of the water on the roadways, so a little extra time on the road. then we will change our attention on the storm because we will say goodbye to the widespread steady rain is that moves east. and then look what comes in behind it. you will see isolated pop-up showers with occasional downpours, this is what comes into the overnight hours. that is at 2:30, there is 3:00 and there is 4:00. don't be surprised if you hear some thunder overnight as these come through as we

get into the morning hours, they will wind down. look how we did today for rainfall totals when we talk about having a flood advisory, the totals were certainly impressive enough in spots to do it because it came on fairly quickly. a lot of places getting close to half an inch of rain, look at the north bay with the number closer to 2 inches and talking about the flooding on mark west, that happened at about the 5:00 hour because most of that rain came through the early time of the day. so okay we shift our focus, we will talk about a high surf warning and then we will see the next system, more rain in the seven day forecast and i will see what that in a few minutes. now to oakland where the killing of an undercover police officer has sent shockwaves to the community, police say that 36-year-old tuan le was killed, trying to stop thieves from raiding a cannabis dispensary. it happened early this morning near jacqueline and square,

glaciers, here is to 2024, with the help of more solutions and strategies heading our way. look how fast that happens. we first showed it last night, that rogue wave that crashed into a crowd there and then look at that, you can see how quickly the car goes, and look at this darren, the water takes it away. and these people had seconds to react as you can see. >> if that. we will go to the weather now. and when we talk about the rogue wave's, it is almost like curiosity killed the cat. we say so many times, don't go near the ocean. and you can hear some people saying, i just want the waves. >> from all of the video that we had here, whether it was santa cruz county, san mateo county. and there is always a crowd of people there.

>> i am saying there's another surf advisory tonight. >> we have been forecasting the next swell and surf warning, we just kind of over the last two hours went through the peak of it. and in one's that is good but in the other sense there is a surf warning, let me give you the details and i will show you what i mean when we are at the peak of it right now and why we still have to get through tomorrow morning, where this is not done until about 2:00 in the afternoon tomorrow, technically there is a surf warning and a coastal flood advisory right now. we will bring in the imagery that shows this well and if you have been watching for the past few days maybe you can already pick something out on here. the biggest waves have already worked their way through the bay and are now going back down towards conception. as it works down the coast. and i'm going to play this forward and

you will watch the energy continue to go south and this will get us into tomorrow. we are not done with some wave energy here, it is still high enough that it's a concern but we are passed the peak of this one and this one is not as big as this one came through on thursday. i couple of things on that. staying in effect until 2:00 in the afternoon, just because it's not as bad, thursdays was really exceptional, you don't have to be that bad to be a concern. and what you really want to know now is when is the next high tide and that is why we have been trying to get better acquainted with looking at these, because it was high tide on thursday that played such a big role especially in that surge. and our own issues here, especially at stetson beach. and on thursday, if you take a look at the next two peaks, we still have tomorrow morning and then again into the afternoon and remember it is not until 2:00 before we are out of this current high surf warning. this is the live radar and we are watching the band of rain that has moved out towards the east now in terms of the widespread steady nature of it. the rain

itself is not done but the cold front, that really beautifully well-organized defined line of yellow and orange that we were watching across the bay, all evening throughout every one of our newscasts we literally watched it all night long. and we can now finally say, that it is to the east of the bay and it's in the central valley and on the future cast , we will pick up that story where i left off, and in the top of the newscast, when we talk about what comes next. and just to show you how that place through, this is a little bit more exaggerated, the high-resolution forecast model tends to really highlight the potential for these. and it has a track record this winter of overdoing it a bit. but the ingredients are still there, so the possibility is still there for isolated showers and scattered thunderstorms from this tomorrow. and then we will get a break, watch what happens to the next storm, you will see it come out of the pacific right there. a little bit of a curveball, that works

to keep us grain-free. because they will take that system there and play this into new year's day. that next one, is the focus, we will start turning our attention to, next. as we start to come out of this current storm cycle and take a breather. we will start getting ready for the tuesday and wednesday system and you can see how this one is put together that looks like a pretty good fetch of moisture and there are a couple more after that. and it is an el nino winter after all. we haven't forgotten that. we will take these one at a time. we won't go that far down the road. just because the long-range model shows another that it is necessarily coming for us, so stay on top of the forecast with us and we will have more. so if we put it into the seven-day forecast or probably the next concern for so many of us, new year's eve will be fine. and new year's day will also be great and tuesday and wednesday our next system i know it looks like we have more rain on wednesday this will be another one where

it will split the difference and come right in between the two, it will be tuesday night into wednesday, that is where the timing stands on that one for now. juliet, back to you. they say that god doesn't play favorites but apparently jesus does, at least when it comes to sports heroes. coming up on the red and gold report, all options are on for ky

rag doll. that was the worst knock around that i got this year. so that really woke me up. >> i would say. just down the coast, another server actually came back to shore with more boards than he started with. >> i got out there, and a big kind of -- clean up came through, and just knocked me on the head. >> wow. >> dude, that is a surfer story. >> that was gnarly. i'm just glad he's okay. >> >> according the british journal of urology international, the risk of penile fractures rises at christmas. researchers found that christmas results in 43% more penile fractures, possibly due to the intimacy and euphoria of the festive season
