from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. after four days of blizzards and rain, this winter storm is finally moving out of the bay area, but not for long. then an obscure race on this tuesday's ballot is heating up, candidates accusing each other of racism. >> 85% of the people endorsed by this group end up winning their elections. and what happens when the very people who work to bring food to our tables can't afford to put it on their own. >> good evening. i'm brian

hackney. >> i'm andrea nakano. the end of the storm is in sight finally, but unfortunately there is another system coming in right on its heels. >> the blizzard warning in the sierra is set to expire in under an hour. at that time it will be downgraded to a winter storm warning. chp managed to clear the last of the nearly 100 big rigs and 300 cars trapped up on the roads there, but things have not cleared enough for them to reopen interstate 80. >> which means kelsi thorud is still stuck up in truckee where even the locals are starting to get a little fed up. >> reporter: you can see the snow is still coming down here in truckee. it's been like this pretty much all day, not as bad as it was yesterday, but we are going on four days of this storm and the people here, they're resilient, but this is a lot to deal with. this is a huge pile of snow that all the piles have just pushed over off the main street here in truckee. that's not the only pile around town. earlier today

we kind of walked down this main drag just to talk with people about how they're handling this storm and fingers crossed, today is the last day of it. it was more of the same sunday as snow and strong winds continued to pummel the sierra. >> been quite a weekend in terms of at our house we got about two feet, which we don't normally get. >> reporter: eric zetlin and his family hoped to go skiing at a resort near truckee. they drove from reno to find the mountain closed. >> it was pretty rough, tough visibility, but the crews kept the streets in really nice shape. so not as bad as it could have been. >> reporter: piper johnson didn't even risk getting on the roads. instead she and her dog billy walked to downtown truckee to check on her art gallery. >> i wanted to see if anyone else was open, see if other people were open. maybe we should open, but i just walked the whole strip and only saw

three other stores open. so i thought not really worth it. >> reporter: many restaurants, however, were open. >> never seen it up that high. >> reporter: we caught up with several people braving the elements for a hot meal. >> my friends that used to live here in town, so we met them for breakfast, just came from church with all the other brave souls. >> reporter: we even ran into one family up here from the bay area. they told us they come up here every year for a family vacation and weren't going to let this storm stop them. >> we're getting out of the house coming down here. we've been playing games at night, family dinners, everything. so we love it. >> reporter: the tricky part will be getting back home. many people we spoke with were supposed to leave town on sunday, but the weather is keeping them another day. we are in the same boat as many of those people we spoke with. we were supposed to leave and head back towards the bay area today, but we're stuck just

like everyone else. the interstate remains closed. caltrans says it will be closed all day. they're hoping to reopen it on monday. we're hoping to get out and back to the bay area tomorrow, still a lot of questions up here in truckee, the snow still coming down, but it is expected to get a little better on monday. well, for the official word on, that let's turn now to first alert meteorologist darren peck for details when people might be able to start heading back. >> it will start getting better tomorrow. i'm not a caltrans spokesperson, but it's likely tomorrow at some point they'll be good to their work and we'll be able to get some openings up there on 80. before the storm the sierra snowpack was 80% of where it should be for this time of year. if you look at it in its extent, they have not updated those numbers since before this storm started. i think it's going to be very good news. that's actual imagery using the automated snow sensors to show us what

the snowpack looks like up there. there's placerville at about 2,500 feet. there's your snow line. these shades in white start to get into tens of feet of snow at the very highest elevations. the reason why the blizzard warning still goes for an hour, let me give you an up-close view and audio of why that is. this is from palisades, the kt chair left. this was today. that blizzard warning was supposed to expire at 10:00 a.m., not even those. those are likely 70-mile-an-hour winds up there. now we still have a blizzard warning for one more hour and a winter storm warning that doesn't expire until wednesday at 4:00 a.m. in fact, we'll talk about that coming up in the complete forecast because there is another system coming in. it's nowhere near as intense as this one is, but we'll have to go into details why a winter storm warning goes till wednesday. back to you.

>> thank you, darren. throughout the storm stay with us for the latest updates. you can head over to kpix.com or download the free cbs news app. ♪ now we're just two days out from california's primary after weeks of campaigning. voters finally get to weigh in on some big issues. >> the highest profile race is to fill the seat of late san francisco senator dianne feinstein with the latest poll numbers showing republican and former los angeles dodger steve garvey out in front and his democratic rivals leading all three state representatives vying for the seat. the only statewide measure on the ballot is governor newsom's proposition 1. he says the $6.3 billion bond will help the state create more treatment beds for people struggling with addiction and mental health. critics say the state has spent 20 billion to try and fight

homelessness already, but the issue has only gotten worse. meanwhile there's a much smaller race heating up in the east bay that could have large implications. >> it's something called the alameda county democratic central committee for district 18. the winners there can help swing important races. as da lin shows us, the importance of the role is reflected in the amount of dirt being flung as we count down to election day. >> reporter: east oakland mom pamela farrin said she's running for a democratic central position so her kids and other families can feel safe in oakland. >> i'm tired of the conditions of the city and things don't seem to be getting better. so it's time for regular oaklanders, it's time for people to step up. >> reporter: but when the political newcomer saw an attack ad targeting her and her moderate allies, a group known as the empower oakland slate, she was disappointed. >> our features are altered. our faces are altered to look sinister and aggressive. these

things are very troubling. >> reporter: an opponent in the race set up a website and sent text messages to some voters calling pamela and her group criminals. their pictures photoshopped. pamela and ally loren taylor said the attack crosses the line. >> what we shouldn't stand for is racist lies and liable accusing us of being criminals with no proof. >> the empower oakland slate has issued a cease and desist order. >> reporter: the attack ad was reportedly launched by mario juarez, a real estate broker who years ago unsuccessfully ran for an oakland city council seat. >> i think the significance of this is important. >> reporter: the political analyst says winners of the alameda county central district 18 race will have huge power. the democratic committee hands out endorsements, he says leading to name recognition and

donations. >> if you didn't have that endorsement, you'd have to do this on your own, go door to door knocking for endorsements and/or asking for money from people. >> 85% of the people endorsed by this group end up winning their elections at the county, city levels. >> reporter: many candidates in the race have openly demanded mario juarez pull the ad and apologize, including adrian abuye. >> how do we build bridges and make sure there's an ability to collaborate with one another? an ad like that doesn't do that. we don't want to even give it attention. >> reporter: pamela hopes voters ignore the attack ad and focus on what they're fighting for. >> i want to be able to bring my kids to a park that's clean, that's not full of trash and filth. >> reporter: only registered democrats in the district can vote in this race. there are 29 candidates going after ten committee seats on march 5th. >> we did try to contact candidate mario juarez to get his side of the story, but we

have not heard back from him so far. cbs news bay area is the place for all the results from the primary tuesday. we've got complete coverage here on kpix and streaming on kpix.com and the cbs news app. coming up next, how sonoma county is working to help local farmworkers afford to live near where they work. then calls for unity amid rising cases of anti-semitism. we'll check back with darren peck for a more detailed look at your first alert forecast. we'll be right back.

i launched our campaign at this union hall. let's go win this thing! then we hit the road and never stopped. you shared with me your frustration at working harder to barely get by and afford a place to live. your fears for our democracy and freedoms and your dreams for yourself, your family, and the future. it is not too late to realize those dreams. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message

because together we can still get big things done. developing tonight out of monterey county, four people are dead and three others are hurt after a shooting at a party in king city. authorities say three gunmen opened fire at a birthday party before driving off. police are still looking for the suspects and we will continue to follow any updates in this case. back in the bay area, sonoma county hosted its first ever farmworkers resource fair in windsor today. dozens of people stopped in to check out services like housing, healthcare, food assistance, and employment. organizers say some farmworkers are finding that they can't make ends meet here. >> they just can't afford to live here. with the wages and

inflation and rent, it's just not a place where farmworkers can actually raise a family. they're leaving. they're going to the valley. they're going to other states, especially into the central valley. >> free meals were also given out to the first 200 people at the resource fair. let's get back to our first alert coverage. darren peck is here to tell us more about this round of storms. it just keeps on going. it doesn't stop. >> yeah. we've been so focused on the snow. i spent my first visit with you guys talking about what's the top story, but we're not done with the rain tonight. i'll show what that looks like and then the next one and the next one. >> can't wait. >> we'll step into the virtual center and bring up our monitor. first alert doppler shows you the system is still going. the showers are still across pretty much the entire northern half of the state. if you look at this close up, there are way less of them.

there is a quieter system than it had been and while yeah, we got a chance for some rain between now and early tomorrow morning, boy, this is a totally different looking radar depiction than we had for the last two days. futurecast tells us that same story. we'll play this through tonight into tomorrow morning, maybe a few stragglers off the coast, maybe a few breaks in the clouds, but that's about it. you see what just showed up there in north bay tomorrow? that's the very leading edge of the next storm, but it's nothing like this one and that one is not going to amount to a lot of rain. we'll come back to that in a second and i'll show you what that system looks like. first a little housekeeping, for monday morning it's going to be cold enough there's a frost advisory for the north bay valley. what we should probably do at this point is bring back in the virtual map and just kind of show the distinction between who is really going to feel this the most. look at the numbers in the north bay.

you're going down in the mid-30s, santa rosa, petaluma, novato. those valleys up there enclosed and kind of cut off from any immediate access to the bay and surrounded by hills where all the cold air tends to sink down and pool up and settle right in those valleys. it's why the north bay valleys always get colder in the morning. we'll go through the golden gate. the city is only going to 44. we'll look at mid-40s for oakland and down to the south bay you're in the low 40s, but on the other side of the hill look at livermore. livermore, same story, enclosed valley, not a lot of bay access. when you look at that number, you're going down to 37. it will be 43 in san jose. that covers tomorrow morning. it will be cold to start the day. if we look ahead now, we've got a couple things to discuss in the sierra. here's today in terms of the severe

impacts. this is that new imagery the weather prediction center has been putting together to quickly visualize the greatest area of concern. today there was a lot of red for i-80 showing we were in the major category, hazardous driving and in i-80's case, no driving. tomorrow watch the color shade. it looks better, but there's a lot of yellow, the low end of the scale, and a little moderate is up on i-80. bottom line, i-80 probably reopens tomorrow at some point, but it won't be a picnic. you'll still have to go real slow. it's still going to be snowing. it's not going to stop snowing in the sierra until like wednesday. watch the numbers keep accumulating. that's not just from this storm. it's because there's another one coming find that one on the other side of the pacific. that leading edge of the rain is another cutoff low. these are the ones that are really squirrely to pin down. monday night we get a little rain in the north bay, that

didn't amount to much and then we wait. the rest of the system comes in on wednesday and then we get a little more rain, but look at the center of the storm drifting off the coast. it's like right on the line, half of it off the coast, half onshore. that could easily change in the next two days. if it shifts farther west, we might not get anything. if it shifts farther east or slows down, we could get a lot more. that's where things stand in terms of how much rain we could see from that system. let's put this all in the seven-day forecast. there's a couple tubes on here with their share of rain in them, tuesday and wednesday. monday i didn't have the heart to put rain this there because the majority of us won't have rain on monday. we'll get a few light showers in the north bay. tuesday and wednesday we wait for that cutoff low and whatever weirdness that's going to have with it and then there could be another one coming our way by next weekend. what else is new? we'll have a lot to watch for the next week,

but i'm happy to tell you we're past the worst of it. >> okay. friday looks like a great day, 64, a little sunshine. >> by saturday the next system could be hereby, but it doesn't look big. >> andrea is not happy. >> no. after the break we'll head to the embarcadero where demonstrators protested rising cases of anti-semitism. coming up tonight on gameday . >> you flush it down the toilet. >> let's forget about the dubs game and look at the bigger picture. >> don't let this knock them and i don't think it will. we introduce you to two high school basketball programs chasing down titles. the giants went shopping this week, but are they done? 30 minutes of sports right after the 11:00 news on cbs news bay area.

that's the san francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. porter is "easily the most impressive candidate." "known for her grilling of corporate executives." with "deep policy knowledge." katie porter's housing plan has "bipartisan-friendly ideas to bring homebuilding costs down." and the chronicle praises "her ideas to end soft corruption in politics." let's shake up the senate. with democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. democrats agree. with democrat katie porter. conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong for california. but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey. adam schiff for senate. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.
