they're expecting snow in the foot levels. now with the good thing is snow levels to get down to around 5,000 feet or so. and warning zones are up to the 6,000 feet zone. and beyond that, that's when going to be collecting the feet with all of this. it's not going to start off that high that low rather, but it will fall that locals will fund to get that colder air filtering in. that's pretty good considering where the source of this lows coming from because its dipping pretty far to the south like that. look at the numbers to for highs tomorrow. 35 monday. 35 36 on tuesday. and yes, it looks like it's mostly snow and that's a good thing. unlike some of the other storm systems have been pushing. the snow level is really high at the 7,000 feet and beyond radar. you did see that picture. the golden gate right now getting a little shower. also one off towards the sea, half moon bay to so again, it's kind of whac-a-mole with the pop-up little showers today. that's the story we've got going on. maybe a couple peeks of sun tonight. we go from lightpto moderate showers. the heavy stuff tomorrow morning. we

take kind of a breather from the heavy stuff, but not the wind certainly. and if we get some breaks of sun in there, that only gives the atmosphere some energy. and this is intense quadrant right up here in the north bay might see some thunder showers popping up there, hail and out to sea. not impossible to see some water spouts. lets advances all the way to monday morning. we're still impacted by this low. there you see some more of the way. some heavier showers actually occurring down around san jose to start things off monday morning. how much rain we're going to get. let's go and stop it here for around midnight, sir. but he's going to go into the new day technically with a little bit over quarter of an inch of rain. not so much of the santa rosa but to the south because that's the source of where this low is. so low comes north and boom, it really get hammered here into monday morning. picking up as much as in a bottle at 3 bucks. there. one 85, for example, nearly 2 inches for san francisco, half moon bay of 2 inches midday. looks like it drops off a little bit with the south bay hit more heavily unusual because the source, again, this low, that's a little bit

of the high end. but the santa cruz mountains definite will get hit hard. all right. so once we're done with that storm, what's left for us upstream again, kind of the spotty showers going on with a heavier dose expected into our thursday morning. and then behind that looks like we have another break trying to build how about some sunshine into next weekend. that will feel good. here's the extended forecast for you again, noting something thunder showers not just tomorrow, but also lingering into monday numbers actually warm up a little bit temporarily because the source of this low is coming from the south of and get the to come from the gulf of alaska. guys, not from the tropics. but you know, that's why these things are so like winter storms. they tend come from the north, the little colder and actually would park more snow up there. but unlike the other storm systems, a fortune of a melting problem up in tahoe. this go around should get up there and stay up there at the level rests cover. good. thanks for giving us the memo should expect all that wet weather. thanks so much day. okay. all right. >> well, a new controversial state bill could put the brakes on speeding drivers are

right on. wallace tells us about the proposal seeking to stop cars from exceeding the speed limit. >> it's a problem on california roadways. speeding and now san francisco senator scott wiener says he has a solution in a new bill. >> here's what the legislation calls for. when you hit the gas and get on the road, your car will be equipped with new technology preventing you from going more than 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. specifically the bill would require new cars or trucks made or sold after 2027 to come with what's known as a speed governor. >> that is a gadget that can monitor a vehicle speed while using gps technology to know exactly what the speed limit is on any given roadway. the speed governor can then physically slow car down shouldn't be going too fast. the goal of this legislation is to save lives. too many people are dying. in fact, senator wiener said it's the data that drove him to author

the bill. he points to statistics from the transportation research, nonprofit organization known as trip showing california traffic fatalities increased by 19% between 2019 in 2022. in 2022 alone, 4,400, california has died in vehicle crashes speed as a big contributing factor. and so. >> this is existing technology that is already in a number of cars that the ntsb, the national transp board is recommending. so this is a basic safety measure. its existing technology and its time has come and help british immediate. but the proposal does come with its critics who say that's what the california highway patrol is for. >> not3to mention this argument posed by assembly, republican minority leader james gallagher. this is another example of government of government control. the proposal per gallagher could be a slippery leading to what he argues would be an

unreasonable imitation of personal freedoms. i mean, in the future, like, are we going to, you know, control where a car can drive to how many miles it can drive? i mean, this, these are the things that i think are very troublesome to a lot of californians, part of a debate just beginning at the state capitol in sacramento. eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> all right. a bay area sports. the forty-niners are gearing up for the big game against the kansas city chiefs and for many players. this is their first trip to the super bowl for sports reporter kate rooney has the latest. the forty-niners spent practice this week installing their game plan and getting a super bowl ready as possible before they leave for las vegas through it property is remaining cool. >> as a cucumber, forget last year's nfc championship heartbreak into tough postseason games this year. he's guided the forty-niners to 2 tough comeback wins capped off by bringing the team back from a 17 point deficit in the nfc title game against the lions and

probably remain. that's good news because with these systems coming in from the lower latitudes, that tend to be very a mild in the 10, a cause. some melting. here's what we have right now. a couple spotty showers. we're showing you the golden gate. it was getting some showers earlier. seems to be kind of falling apart. it will be the continuation of little pop-up will showers here and their future cast for. here's what we're talking about over the course of today. again, kind of the shield of moderate rain coming our way and then heavy overnight sunday morning. we're talking about still that heavy rain over all of the area the afternoon. it's interesting, though, you think, oh, it's kind of broken up here a little bit. at least some relief. not really because we'll get some energy, which will fire up some localized thunder showers and potentially some hail. you can also get some water spout with this, too, which is actually not that unusual for us on winter storms in the west coast. then we get into monday. we're still in the grips of the storm system. there you see some rain towards our south and the

south bay. that's something for the morning commuters. but the bigger issue will be all the storm damage that already happened in the puddles and flooded roads. so be aware of all of that. plus, the winds will still be with how much collection we getting? well, as we stop in about just after midnight, that's we're going into the deep, a depth of the storm. but that point half of inc to maybe a quarter of an inch of rain and then we'll take it all the way until monday morning. and there you can see the conlection. everybody's looking at a buck, some people to bottle up to 3 inches. so again, the big storm hit. we get us on sunday monday. some leftover spotty showers throughout the week and another hit on our thursday. looks like as well as we get some heavier stuff coming our way, too. so check it out on your seven-day forecast going we see temperatures hang in the 50's and or watching for thunder showers on sunday into monday. also, stephen, another harder hit thursday overnight friday. all right, dave, thank you for that. the new controversial state bill could put the

brakes on speeding drivers. >> all right. kelly wallace tells us about the proposal seeking to stop cars from exceeding the speed limit. >> it's a problem on california roadways. speeding and now san francisco senator scott wiener says he has a solution in a new bill. >> here's what the legislation calls for. when you hit the gas and get on the road, your car will be equipped with new technology preventing you from going more than 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. specifically the bill would require new cars or trucks made or sold after 2027 to come with what's known as a speed governor. >> that is a gadget thatrcan monitor a vehicle speed while using gps technology to know exactly what the speed limit is on any given roadway. the speed governor can then physically slow car down shouldn't be going too fast. the goal of this legislation is to save lives. too many people are dying. in fact, senator wiener said it's the

data that drove him to author the bill. he points to statistics from the transportation research, nonprofit organization known as trip showing california traffic fatalities increased by 19% between 2019 in 2022. in 2022 alone, 4,400, california has died in vehicle crashes. speed is a big contributing factor. and so >> this is existing technology that is already in a number of cars that the ntsb, the national transportation safety board is recommending. so this is a basic safety measure. its existing technology and its time has come and help for his should but the proposal does come with its critics who say that's what the california highway patrol is for. >> not to mention this argument posed by assembly, republican minority leader james gallagher. this is another example of government of government control. the proposal per gallagher could be a slippery leading to what

he argues would be an unreasonable imitation of personal freedoms. i mean, in the future, like, are we going to, you know, control where a car can drive to how many miles it can drive? i mean, this, these are the things that i think are very troublesome to a lot of californians, part of a debate just beginning at the state capitol in sacramento. eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> now to bay area sports. the forty-niners are gearing up for the big game against the kansas city chiefs for many players. this is their first trip to the super bowl prop for sports reporter kate rooney has the latest. the forty-niners spent practice this week installing their game plan and getting a super bowl ready as possible before they leave for las vegas through it property is remaining cool. >> as a cucumber, forget last year's nfc championship heartbreak into tough postseason games this year. he's guided the forty-niners to 2 tough comeback wins capped off by bringing the team back from a 17 point deficit in the nfc title game
