last on the moisture all the way from hawaiian islands really started to integrate inside that system. you given at that, but much stronger effect as we got a lot of rainfall in that it means can re. now a lot of rain as it comes on through. and that's exactly what we've seen. really this evening, these bands of heavy moisture rotating on through. we're seeing some of that now as a coming on through and parts of bay area and the freeman. you're seeing some heavy rain in the parts of the bay area. also in concord and continuing into the santa cruz mountains. so you've got rain coming down that's already saturated on the ground now. and that's why we're worried about the possibility a rapid rises on many of these creeks and streams. so flood watches up for most of the bay area. we've got some warnings in the north bay to an advisory is continuing out there as well through this evening as we're going to see some rapid rises now, those have been extended all the way in the santa clara valley where they haven't seen a whole lot of rain. but now, again, that rainfall to all right. let's see if we can find an end to this. the forecast model showing the most. the heavy rainfall moves out after midnight behind that you start to see the cells

popping up. those are possibly thunderstorms on and off throughout the night tonight, inc tomorrow morning. then becoming more scattered showers as we head throughout the day. you see some sun shines in the sunshine breaks in between some of those storms and we'll see some rain moving in again. and that's what's going to play out tomorrow. of course, we've had a lot of wind out over open waters. we're seeing some big-time swells. 22 to about 26 feet out there. lot of snow. yeah. we're going to see one to 3 feet across the peaks may be even let's 45 feet the higher peaks out there. want to give you a look at this. this long range forecast model. the main front goes through more scattered showers into a thursday and friday, maybe a lingering shower into saturday, too. but that will be probably the driest day of the next 7. then we get ready for the next storm system. this one is concerning to see the area of low pressure right here. forecast by the model and green right off the coastline. that's likely to bring some very heavy rainfall through sunday into monday and possibly on tuesday as well. that on top of what we've already seen. yeah, we're going to be coming back to these flooding issues. i think as we get a lot of part of the

weekend and into next week. so here's your 10 attendant looks a mostly wet out there as we head in toward february, as it looks like we've got a series of storms, least 2, this one and the one on the sunday likely to be more of an atmospheric river event. again, with the potential for maybe another 4, maybe 6 inches of race. were not going have much time for this runoff to dissipating over the next storm moves at it. and that's the problem. we're getting showers continuing on and off. so we're not going to dry out. so we see that next storm system. i flooding could be more of a concern. of course, mudslides, trees down, writing filling up the reservoirs. definitely doing that. all right. thanks, lawrence. yeah, take a look at this. a rushing water from the oroville dam into the river. butte county. >> officials say that today's release will help provide flood protection to communities stay with kron. 4 for continuing storm coverage. scan that qr code on your screen. it will take you straight to our website as where you'll find the latest on road closures. flooding outages and much more. new at 10 after more than 50 years
