12:01 pm
to slam the region this weekend. good afternoon. i'm ryan yamamoto. the bay area is still cleaning up from that first storm and a second atmospheric river is headed our way that will be even more extreme. that means more fresh snow in the sierra. take a look at the conditions. this is at donner summit, the road completely covered in several inches of snow. that is good news for ski resorts but if you drive in it, that is a bit of a challenge. >> we are supposed to have a nice saturday. we are hoping lots of people will come out to enjoy this beautiful fresh powder we are getting. >> we make every effort to keep the highways open. it only takes one or two spin outs. >> let's check in with meteorologist jessica burch in our virtual weather studio. i know you have been busy tracking the next wave of storms. you can see a lot of rainbows outside. >> rainbows, sunshine, i think we have it all. today is a mixed bag of everything. as we
12:02 pm
gear up and get ready for a very hectic weather weekend ahead of us, here is the thing. that area of low pressure city not sure. that is what is bringing in the unsettled weather. we will see pop up storms throughout this afternoon identical to yesterday's forecast. yesterday we even saw a tornado up in sonoma. the last time we have seen 13 since 1950. this is a wicked storm as it continues to build in. we are gearing up for another atmospheric river. it will bring us snow from 40 inches as we head into mid-next week. back here in the bay, we are seeing these pop up storms continuing to linger. we are seeing light activity when it comes to that rain. that is starting to track to the east closer to concord and lafayette. this storm cell right here is continuing to
12:03 pm
track to the east, hitting milpitas, sunnyvale, all the way over to los altos. we will continue to watch this on futurecast as it develops tonight. it looks similar to what we dealt with yesterday. you might want to keep the umbrella handy just in case but when it comes to localized flooding, that is a concern for us as we gear up for another atmospheric river. southern california will also take a hit following torrential downpour is that dropped a month's worth of rain in a matter of hours. this happened in long beach. the flooding so bad and so severe some areas -- you can see a lot of the drivers got stuck in the water. in orange county, swiftwater teams conducted multiple rescues including a man trapped in the rushing water and another wasted to safety by helicopter. further south in the community of seal beach, water flooded homes and stores , expensive and frustrating for residents and business owners. >> the city's pumping station, which we rely heavily upon did
12:04 pm
not function. this is not a new problem but it persists and it persists. >> stay with us. we are continuing whether coverage. you can find first alert weather updates anytime on www.kpix.com or the free cbs news app. two people in the hospital after crews had to rescue them from this burning home. flames broke out last night in the community of pacheco on temple drive. four people were trapped inside. crews were able to get them safely out but witnesses say two of the people rescued were in bad shape. one was sent to the burn center, another sent to a trauma center. neighbors say they woke up to the smell of smoke and sounds of screams outside. >> there was flames coming out of the living room window and the door and the roof and the corner in the front, smoke coming out of the garage area. there were two women in the driveway crying. they were on their knees, crying.
12:05 pm
>> it is frightening. crews knocked down that fire earlier this morning but can't fire credits working smoke alarms for helping everyone escape alive. so far, no word on what caused that fire. for the second time in the month, a berkeley city councilmember has abruptly called it quits. she drop the microphone in the middle of a meeting this week but she is not dropping out of the race for mayor. >> this is the last place you would expect a councilperson to call it quits. right in the middle of a public meeting but that was the point. >> i feel like the processes are broken and that people have no idea how bad it is. >> kate harrison is now in her second term representing district 4 which covers the
12:06 pm
downtown area. while the announcement was sudden, the decision was not. harrison said she had been thinking about it for a while. came in the middle of a discussion about spending $7 million to put up cameras at several intersections, a project she ultimately ended up opposing. >> we have seen a steady but slow erosion of democracy . why? that would have been a great place to talk about this proposal which has some merit. i feel like people are trying to silence dissent in the city. >> even her councilmembers were caught by surprise. sophie hahn did not get what harrison meant by broken processes. >> i have to tell you that it is a mystery to me. i do not fully understand. i don't even partially understand what she is referring to. >> because harrison is less than halfway through her second term, the city will now have to hold a special election to fill her spot. it also means harrison's district will lose
12:07 pm
its representative. >> not having the full number of councilmembers that the people of berkeley expect the city to have means that on one or another issue, the votes might not be there. >> by putting the spotlight on berkeley city politics, harrison's hope is that in the end, it is the people that will benefit the most. the people of berkeley need to have a say in what is happening in their town. >> this time does not belong to politicians. it belongs to us. >> politics are just too toxic. there is a special election in april for a southside district near cal. it is unclear of harrison's district 4 will be added to that or done separately. a new jobs report is studying wall street. retailers brought on 45,000 workers in january. the healthcare

two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear.

12:15 pm
our history but it is not about making people out to be heroes. >> mob education director claire white does not whitewash what happened here in vegas where at a time, the mob skinned money and dumped bodies. this places to show crime is a dead-end street, a message janet and her friend linda got loud and clear sitting in an electric chair. >> when you see this, it just makes you think, is it worth it? >> listen up, kid. do the crime and you will do the time. in las vegas, the monument to mob madness gives a snapshot of sin city's sins. >> on super bowl sunday, one street in san francisco will be divided. vlad cood owns both buzzworks and butter . this is on 11 street. he opened

12:18 pm
this point. heading into the weekend, by saturday morning, we see a blanket of light showers throughout the bay . it still does not let up and then we gear up for sunday as the rain really passes through. with this storm, we will see gusty conditions like wednesday and heavy showers sweep throughout the bay area. we can see 4 inches of rain in total from half moon bay all the way till sunday. think about it. we kicked off this week with 70s in the forecast. now we are talking about mid-40s. mid-50s in san francisco. into the east bay and down into the santa clara valley, it is a lot cooler than just five days ago as that area of low pressure not only brought in wind and rain but it also packed in some cooler weather that we will hold on tight to . speaking of this weekend, sunday will be the big punch for us with the atmospheric river. we are
