. . all right, breaking news out of southern california tonight where an amazon delivery truck is teetering on a hillside and threatening to fall down on to a home. l.a. fire out there right now in the rain trying to make sure that does not happen. the storm caused extreme flooding problems down that way. a man stranded in high waters had to climb up to the roof of his car to be rescued. a man who jumped in the l.a. river to save a dog today needed rescuing himself. he got swept away. firefighter his to use a helicopter to pull him out. turns out the dog was just fine. it was a strong
1:52 am
swimmer and got to the edge of the river on its own. this was a really unlucky homeowner near baldwin hills who had a hillside crash through a glass door and into her bedroom where she was sleeping. she and her friends tried all day to keep the place habitable but tonight she is moving out for now. all right, paul, you talk for days about the risk that the storm was going to pose to much of the state. it seems like it lived up to expectations, lots of rain, wind, and flooding. >> yes. for days leading up to this. we are talking about a statewide impact for the brunt of the wind energy directed towards the bay area and central coast and the valley. the snow, the high sierra, then all of that rain that is still falling in southern california. a little break in the heaviest for downtown los angeles right now but the moisture plume that has been just hitting southern california over the past 24-48 hours extends over 1,000 miles
1:53 am
out into the pacific. a genuine atmospheric river in the origins in tropical environments. that kind of moisture being directed towards those east/west mountain ranges, just a recipe for disaster, the mountain ranges efficient getting the water out. 3-1/2 inches in ventura, 4 1/2 for torrennes, over 6 for thousand oaks, downtown l.a. picked up 7 inches of rain. malibu canyon approaching 9 inches of rain. and flooding problems but now, those have diminished because the rain is tapering off. this is the last of the showers quieting down over the past hour or so. we should be calm heading through the rest of tonight. can not rule out the possibility of it any point in time. the showers will be more miss than hit heading through the day on
1:54 am
tuesday. still going to be out there. not a dry day, grab the umbrella on the way out the door just in case. a better chance of light rain will return on wednesday. emphasizing again, light rain. this is not associated with an atmospheric river or anything close to it. it will be a quick hitter that moves through with 1/10th of an inch of rain or less. if you overachieve you might pick up a quarter of an inch. the snow will add up in the sierra. they will only pick up a couple more inches out of the current one and the next one does not give it access to moisture. a few more inches on top of what is accumulating giving the road crews a chance to catch up. here is something that we can use, a break from the rain. the 6-10 day outlook shows a good chance of drier than normal conditions as we head through the weekend and into most of next week. looking farther down-the-line, the 18-14 day outlook taking us through presidents' day weekend shows us wetter than normal conditions, once the break arrives let's enjoy it
1:55 am
while it lasts, a few breaks out there. the temperatures in the middle to upper 40s and 50s. ending up in the 40s by tomorrow morning, chilliest spots in the north bay valleys, dropping down to the upper 30s. a cool day in between the showers, highs running a few degrees below average. the warmest spot, san jose, just short of 60 degrees, generally, middle to upper 50s. not much variation, 59 the warm spot. the cool spot to half moon bay it will be 55 degrees, only a four degree difference between the warmest and coolest extremes, not extreme on either end of the spectrum, generally, a cool february day. similar temperatures in store for us for wednesday and again on thursday. then, we start to warm up a little bit as the rain chances they just go away for a little while. here is the seven-day forecast. showers in the forecast heading through wednesday and even lingering showers on thursday. then, dry weather on friday and saturday and sunday. lots of sunshine
1:56 am
over the weekend. how about that for a change. warmer temperatures, above average temperatures heading into next week. it will be on the cool side, though in las vegas, vern glenn joins us from the site of the super bowl. >> that is right, paul, straight ahead in sports, we are talking about not a game, not a game, we are talking about practice. and, how did steph curry follow up a 60 point night? well, we will find out when the warriors played
1:59 am
. all right, vern glenn live with us in las vegas with a great assignment. things have not gone entirely to plan so far this early on? >> you could say that. in fact, to put it nicely you can say it just like that. all right, sara we will lead it off with what else. the super bowl. it is designed to have equal footing on both teams. equal conditions except in the case of the 49ers when it comes to practice. >> what are we talking about? >> practice? >> we are talking about practice, man. >> we are talking about
2:00 am
practice [ laughter ] the team was reportedly unhappy with the field at unlv where they are scheduled to practice all week. but media night kyle shanahan said the team will practice as scheduled there this week which is good because commissioner goodell and the league believe that the field was perfectly fine. >> we had 23 experts out there. the union out there, all of them think it is a playable surface. it is softer than what they have practiced on. but that happens. it is well within all of our testing standards. it is something that we think all of our experts as well as neutral field inspectors have all said unanimously that it is a playable field. >> pivot to the nba. where was curry and the warriors tonight? in brooklyn. coming off of a 60 point game on saturday. here we go. fourth quarter, green, dished it. put the biscuit in the basket. put them up by 11.
2:01 am
