thunderstorm potential into the afternoon already have seen some lightning strikes up on the coast of mendocino county. now snowfall in the coastal ranges. but most notable, of course, in the sierra nevada, whereas we were just talking about that potential of closures through the day today on highway 50 and i 80's snow just continues to fall and is only going to pick up in intensity as we roll into the afternoon. look at all of this energy sitting offshore. this has yet to even make its way in and we'll be doing so as we push through your friday today into your saturday, a cold cold air mass and unsettled, too. so thunderstorms along with that low elevation snow fall. thunderstorms this morning will be most likely in the north bay. going to be keeping a very close eye on this during the show just to make sure that if you are getting out and about you'll be ready for any sort of heavy downpours. cloud to ground lightning and strong winds that occur with that. most of the rest of the bay area will tap into our thunderstorm potential as we move into the early afternoon. not to say we

won't have rainfall, but that chance of severe weather really increases as we make our way on into the afternoon and evening tonight and look at that snowfall starting to fall lower elevations as we do move into the evening tonight, you will hear rolls the thunder. heavy right, rain and strong winds too leading into tomorrow. pockets of heavy rain. thunderstorms do continue for your saturday. likely to see that activity continuing as well into early sunday before we officially start to see things calming down. now, as for the sierra nevada defeat upon feet of snowfall is going to be relentless. upwards of 10 feet plus of snowfall at our highest of elevations. get up to donner summit. the highest per on i-80 and you're talking anywhere between 5 to 9 feet of snowfall. it's a lot for plows to handle going to be a lot of work for them to clear out 3 to 6 inches of snowfall in some of our mountains up in the north bay. we do have a winter storm warning for north bay mountains, including in lake and mendocino counties

and then on over up to the sierra, a blizzard warning. what exactly does this mean? what does mean that it's not just the feet of snowfall, but winds in excess of 75 miles per hour speeds. tree limbs down. potential power outages. as a result of all this future cast as well. just showing that continued round of heavy rain now today into tomorrow, we do see that 2 inches of rain possible in spots like oakland. it all depends on if you do see those heavy downpours rolling over head your sky rainfall totals could skyrocket in just a short period of time. coastal areas, it is a high surf advisory in effect now through tomorrow, 15 to 20 foot, breaking waves, winds gusting extremely high today near the coast as well as up in our mountains. already mentioned those 75 to 80 miles per hour. gusts up in the sierra. we'll keep it closer to 40 to 55 miles per hour gust in the bay. but we do have high wind advisories and warnings in effect. today's daytime highs are going to be relatively mild in the upper 50's. so not

this is your look outside at the berkeley hills camera right here and a lot of cloud cover moving overhead on what is about to be a continued wet day ahead of us showers showing up on radar all across the bay. mostly fairly light at this point. but look at that snow up in the sierra nevada. this is the issue as we make our way over the next couple of days here. this is likely to be some record breaking snowfall in spots highway 50 and i-80. virtually going to be impassable as we make our way through this forecast. so again, this is not a forecast to be heading up to the sierra this low pressure area coming along with a lot of unsettled weather. you see all the speckled nature of that cloud cover out there. this is a

sure sign of some very unstable in cold air that is just going to plummet right on into the bay area as it does. so really cooling temperatures % down along with it. also resulting in this potential of thunderstorms that we are going to see over the next 48 hours here. futurecast shows you exactly what i'm talking about now as we make our way through the morning, most thunderstorm potential does stay up in the north bay, but into the afternoon and evening, we will see a better chance of thunderstorms for the rest of us. that's not to say the rest of the bay area will be dry through the day. just expect your heaviest of rainfall for the latter half of the day for most areas, 06:30pm, right here. heavy pockets of rain rolling through marine sonoma and napa counties by 45. we have heavy downpours for the rest of the bay area too. and look at that. a little bit of rain snow mix going to be happening right around the summit of mashed mission peak. the blows east of san jose and snow level falling to exceedingly low elevations in the sierra nevada. this is way down into

the sierra foothills tonight into tomorrow morning. so we will have snow level accumulation on or upper peaks here in the bay area. you can actually see that occurring in inches of snow on some of these mountain peaks. really? the noteworthy snow, though, is what we have in the sierra nevada with 10 plus feet of snowfall expected in areas like even donner summit. as you make your way on over 80 at the highest of elevations, we're going to see roadways so impacted by snow fall. they will be virtually impassable. a winter storm warning is in effect for portions of lake and mendocino counties in the north bay because of the snow up there. but really it's all about the blizzard warning that we do have in the sierra nevada. and because of that, it is not advised to be heading into this year this weekend, multiple feet of snow. and then 75 to 90 miles per hour. wind gusts. there's like that results in a lot of trees being down that debris on roadways, along with power

outages. just absolutely a no-go for any sort of travel. so this is not the weekend to brave it to feel like you need to get up there because you have a reservation or something. just don't even bother with it. today into tomorrow. we will continue to see rainfall for the bay stacking up in inches for us. well, obviously the sierra we'll be looking at feet of it. speaking of feet at the coastline, though, aswell as high as 15 to 20 feet does have high surf advisories and wind is a factor here in the bay as well. with 40 to 50 miles per hour. peak gusts. we do have high wind advisories at the coastline and inner upper elevations. a look ahead at your temperatures for the day today. we are going to be looking at daytime highs in the upper 50's that our warmest so relatively mild during the day, but getting cold during night. and that's where that melt snow will fall to those low elevations such as into the foothills here in the bay area. well, down in the sierra foothills, too continued showers into early sunday, likely to catch a little bit of a break in the late sunday and early monday, a few more showers into next

week. as for your roads right now, things out there are smooth sailing. look at this view at the bay bridge. hardly have a backup at all. just southern metering lights turned on just a little bit of a slowdown. getting you through the toll plaza. there, 70 oh, bridge at 13 minutes to make your crossing. we are seeing some light showers on the san mateo bridge. well, the richmond, sandra fell as well as the golden gate. also having seen showers overnight. so do watch for some wet spots as you're driving along each span, reyna. >> another round of businesses, unfortunately closing in the bay area. so in emeryville reporting a permanent closure come april 16. the reason for that shutdown was unclear. the san francisco business times reports that all staff they're going to be losing their jobs. after more than 40 years in business. lee's deli in downtown san francisco has closed. it was the last one in the city. the restaurant chain was 10 locations across san francisco. but it's not all

doom and gloom because urban putt is open in downtown san jose. the mini golf course restaurant had been open in san francisco's mission district for 10 years before closing doors last month, urban parts at another mini golf in yukon. holy moly will be open at the same san francisco location sometime this year. well, the senate their city council has unanimously approved new housing project along the great american amtrak station. blaze development is a 21. 4, nearly 200 condominium complex. wow. this is all part of the city's re-imagining of the has been east neighborhood right near levi stadium where the city hopes to at 4500 new homes over the next few years. well, the soon-to-be largest rv parking site in san jose actually cost city have as much as expected. this the original 50 million dollar plan included 4 buildings serving as counselors centers and restrooms. the new design

only includes 2 lot located right near coyote creek, only the city's second save his parking site. the one in the santa teresa vta station parking lot set to open this summer following some delays. golden state warriors. they continue their road success in the big apple last night against the knicks. all for sports director jason dumas has the latest on that. >> the warriors have been playing some good basketball as of late. but they have a fair all that well against phe top teams in the league. the knicks, they are guard good team. so on thursday it was a great litmus tests for the warriors on the road. and guess what? the dubs they aced it. the warriors looking for their 7th straight road win. they got off to a great start. 1st quarter dubs up 9 brandon, but jetski find the trailing steph curry. josh hart doesn't step up. he makes him paid up. started the game on a 14. nothing run. >> 2nd quarter warriors up 13. in my opinion. this was the

best game of jonathan coming his career. he did it all off n sibley and defensively. they're just way too big for the smaller jalen brunson and he lets him more from coming to dubs up 12 road defensive effort. >> francis, good but coming >> punches his shot. lets hear it too. now on the ensuing inbounds, his former teammate, davies and he misses the shot coming to a sky rebound finds staffed. all in one motion. that is poetry in motion. 4th quarter warriors lead cut to 7 kamain gut. this spins baseline right here office former teammate finishes through contact 3 point guard way. jay cool. 25 point later on 8 point warriors lead staff put this one to bed. 31 points for the assassin. warriors win

won't win. 99. they'll take on the raptors today a back-to-back is going to be tough. that is your look at sports. >> right now on the kron, 4 morning news. the big storm is here expecting to bring high winds and inches of rain throughout the weekend. there's lots to talk about. good morning. thank you for joining us here on the kron. 4 morning news. i'm james fletcher and a radar. harvey. we've been talking about the storm. >> it is here. and for the past few days everybody has been trying to do their best to get things ready. i know a lot of people, the north bay already trying to get gas and and water. and yeah, asked stock up, especially up in the sierra. make suru
