recent storm. >> our chief meteorologist, bill martin, is here now. and bill, we're getting a much needed break from all that rain. we are. >> yeah. and in the last couple of days, julie, as you know, have just been hammering not just the rain but the wind as well. and the wind knocking over many countless trees and branches and causing just problems everywhere. and you get a night like tonight, which is so, so different than last night at this time when the storm and the winds were actually peaking. we had wind gusts last night. they were upwards of 100 miles an hour on some of the ridgelines. beautiful shot outside. they're still scattered showers in the area and you can kind of see just out towards where are we here? antioch area. that's an area of activity and there's a chance for a little bit more as we head into tonight and tomorrow, but tomorrow is going to be a pretty darn nice day. and even wednesday there's a chance of a sprinkle or shower. but that's going to be not a big deal either. or shouldn't be, but the story really right now is these guys down here in southern california. so the atmospheric river was over us, and then it shifted south. the low came in, we got the win. well the southern portion of the

atmospheric river is now more focused dead on cape mendez or a pardon me, um, point point conception in southern california down to the mexican border there, the baja border. so you basically have really heavy rain in the zone. and they're going to have problems. they had flood warnings today. they're going to see flood warnings tonight. and the new focus, it was here in downtown la for much of the morning when they had the flood warning. now it's focusing down here in the next 36 hours. san diego is going to get bombarded with potentially 3 to 6in of rain, which as you know, is a lot of rain for them. so that was a big storm last night. you bet. so if you haven't lived in the bay area long and you wonder what a big storm feels like, that's what a big storm feels like. they can be bigger, but i think they don't get much bigger. i'll see you back here in a few minutes for the full forecast, and we'll talk about that rain chance there is a rain chance for tomorrow. not a big deal. i think wednesday there's a better chance. still not a big deal. but we'll look at the models, see how that works it out.

>> all right. see you in a bit bill. thank you. well pg and e is working to restore electricity to homes, schools and businesses that lost power due to the wind and rain. this pg and e outage map shows the problem area stretching from eureka all the way down to santa barbara county. we just checked right now and here in the bay area, 130,000 homes and businesses are still without electricity. tonight but the largest number of those outages in the north bay, where power is out to more than 51,000 customers earlier today on the four, we spoke with pg and e spokesman jeff smith about the areas they're focusing on tonight. >> according to our records, this is the third biggest storm in pg and e territory in history. so single single day storm, i should say. right? in other words, you know, kind of 24 hour period. so so, um, you know, that was um, you know, there were some really, really heavy winds we anticipated heavy winds, but certainly there was a really high volume of outages and our, you know, we were prepared to deal with outages and get our crews out there to safely restore our customers. but certainly there is quite a high volume with this particular storm. >> pg. and e cautions, if you do come across a downed power line,

stay away from it and call pg and e. right away. and a quick reminder right now that you can always stay prepared for any storm with the ktvu weather app. it has current conditions, a live interactive radar, and it breaks down the forecast hour by hour. and it's a free download. >> one man was found dead after a tree came down on to his home in the santa cruz mountains, and as ktvu jesse gary reports, a second person narrowly missed the same fate cleared o doctor juco holidays harrowing brush with death caught on dash cam. >> the ben lomond psychologist had just cleared a tree and was recording a video showing her progress when another large tree came down. i think it's a time where all of the work on nervous system regulation comes in handy, so i just saw what happened and in the video you hear me say, wow, that was exciting. >> um, so i was relatively calm. >> holiday escaped injury, but a

boulder creek man wasn't as fortunate. sunday 45 year old robert brainard, the third, was killed when gusty winds toppled a large tree onto his property. a car in the driveway was also damaged. the santa cruz county medical examiner says his death was accidental and that more details would be provided at a later time. santa cruz county officials say there are at least 30 road closures and power outages spread across this county. of 267,000 residents, all due to falling trees and tree limbs that were blown down and around from winds gusting to 70mph. it's pretty much a mess everywhere in the county. >> these high winds brought down branches and trees. yeah, pretty much in every neighborhood of santa cruz county, we have power outages throughout the mountains. still we have crews out trying to get our road network back in shape as soon as possible. reporter. >> in addition to secondary roads, major arteries of traffic are also impacted. chp officials say rain earlier in the day monday contributed to three accidents within a two mile stretch of southbound highway

17, one of the vehicles ended up on its roof. as for holiday late monday, she resumed the clearing work on her property and says this scare is the latest in a string of mother nature spawned near death experiences. and if i had been four feet closer, it would have come through my windshield. >> today i'm i'm immersed in gratitude and humility. i lost my home in the icu lightning complex fire, so it's not my first brush with danger. um, this is still my home. i it's irrational, but i wouldn't live anywhere else. >> while many people in northern california would agree with the doctor, officials say it's still a good idea. after a heavy rain, to keep your eyes on the trees around your home and your property because the soil is saturated, those trees can still come down in santa cruz. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news the san francisco half marathon scheduled for yesterday morning was canceled due to the harsh weather conditions, but people who prepared to run that race

ready to go to the race. >> lisa marinaro spent 12 weeks training, and after recovering from a health condition that limited her ability to exercise, this race meant a lot to her. this race felt like a really big milestone for me, ronald abel says. he traveled from salt lake city for the race and spent money on hotels and flights, so he chose to run anyway, along with dozens of other runners. >> they were so, like, determined to do it. >> according to registered runners, the cost of the half marathon varied from close to $100 to about $130, depending on when you registered the ten k and five k races cost less. organizers told runners they will send a medal and a t shirt to participants in the coming weeks. >> a lot of us thought we don't want a medal for a race that we didn't get to compete in, so i do hope that they reschedule it, or at least give us enrollment to defer for next year as well. w the organizers also offered a virtual race, and they asked members to self report their results. >> but that was less appealing for many members. and i actually speaking with or looking at

social media, it looks like the organization did have an idea that the weather conditions were going to be harsh. they had modified the race a little bit before the race, but they but people did not hear from the organizers until the morning of the race that this cancellation was happening, and they have not heard from organizers since. we also reached out to the organization and did not hear back in time for this report. i'm live in san francisco. crystal bailey, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, crystal, thank you for that. >> san francisco city leaders plan to extend the ban on street vending in the mission by six months. mayor london breed and supervisor hillary ronen making that announcement just today, the city imposed a 90 day moratorium in november. since then, the city says it's seen a 30% decrease in assaults and robberies on mission street, as well as a 23% decrease in requests for street cleaning. >> ballots for the. march primary headed to your mailboxes . what an elections official wants you to know.

to receive those ballots in the mail this week. as ktvu political reporter greg lee tells us, county election officials are taking steps to ensure a smooth and secure process. >> the voting booths are up and running at the contra costa county elections office, as early voting sites open around the state ahead of the march 5th primary, county elections officials have started to mail ballots to all registered voters . >> we've sent approximately 709,000 um ballots out to every single registered voters. we started with our military and overseas voters. they get theirs first and then we anticipate that the rest of contra costa voters will start receiving their ballots tomorrow. and on wednesday, kristen connolly, the county clerk, recorder and registrar of voters, and her team have been hard at work ensuring this process runs smoothly. >> tests practiced rouz prepares year round for election year as

voters weigh their options in local, state and national races. this team will test these ballots for logic and accuracy and make sure their machines are functioning properly. access to equipment is tight and cybersecurity measures are in place amid misinformation about election software and integrity. elections officials are emphasizing that voting is safe, secure and transparent. >> elections officials like me all across the country work day in and day out on nonpartisan basis to make sure that every vote counts and that every voter can have a high degree of trust. >> that's part of why contra costa county has expanded its certified election observer program, where the public can get a front row seat to the process. >> this provides 12 to 14 hours of information to hear from our elections experts come into our office, watch every process and get every question answered so that you can become a real elections expert. >> your mail in ballots must be postmarked by march 5th and received by march 12th. and if

you want to vote in person, there are a number of options leading up to and on election day. one note connolly, echoing the message on their website urging no party preference voters to take action if they want to vote in a presidential primary. >> you're in no party preference voter. um, you will not have presidential candidates on your ballot if you have not requested a different kind of ballot. we've mailed out 156,000 postcards to our mpp voters. we've only heard back from about 8000 of them so far. >> in preparation for election season. contra costa county has also updated their drop boxes to match their ballot envelopes. in martinez, greg lee ktvu fox two news republican presidential candidate nikki haley has applied for secret service protection in due to an increase in the number of threats against her. >> haley's campaign has not specified the type or suspected source of those threats, but says it had multiple issues. there were reports of two swatting incidents in recent

again, be careful. >> police say if you do see something suspicious, report it. they also advised to travel in groups and to not leave valuables inside your car. >> all right a big difference from where we were last night. >> this time i was just harkening back to that. if you were with us last night, i hope you were. but that bay bridge toll plaza, seeing that live camera we had with both. this is a live camera now, estuary. but the live camera we had and the flags were whipping. and again, i've been doing this years. i haven't seen anything quite that aggressive in terms of winds at sea level in the bay area. and so that picture, we just sticks in my head and if you remember it, you can remember those flags just standing straight out like whipping. not the story tonight, much less wind, no wind and lot less rain. we did have rain today. we had scattered showers, some heavy at times, but then the sun will come out. that's how it goes to the rest of the night, but less. and then tomorrow, probably nothing at all. there could be. you have to put it in there. there could be,

but it's probably not going to be anything. and then you can see the activity. most of it is down in southern california now. and if we pull out the imagery here, you can see the atmospheric river and it kind of dips. so it kind of loops here. but it's coming all the way out. hawaiian islands are here. so it's coming all the way out here. so many thousands of miles of moisture. and it's connecting into southern california where they are in flood watches, flood warnings, flood advisories. wind advisories, the whole bit there. and it goes on down there for the next 24 to 36 hours, especially in san diego. so problems there will develop for sure. we had a bunch of wind, ridiculous wind, but we didn't get as much rainfall. we got a lot of rain, but not as much as we could have or what was suspected by some of the models. and that is great because we hit that tipping point last night where we were right on the edge of having real problems, and then things kind of stopped today or for the most part, worn down. so that's good news. so when i come back, we're going to talk about the forecast. obviously and then we'll talk about the mountains winter storm

warnings. and we'll talk about the next chance for rain in the bay area. >> all right bill, thank you. just a peek here of the mountains, palisades tahoe getting a lot of new snow. the resort says it actually received 39in of snow since the first of the month. that's just the past five days. the final round at the at&t pebble beach pro-am had to be called off due to weather. yesterday's final round was postponed to today, but it was called off due to the conditions raining. u.s. champion us open champion wyndham clark was declared the winner. he actually shot a 60 on saturday, by the way, setting a course record there at pebble san francisco. >> like most of the bay area, getting a break right now to dry out and survey the damage. ktvu is christian captain shows us how the city is cleaning up after strong winds caused problems in several neighborhoods. >> this tree in san francisco's mission district was just one of the 300 or so incidents reported during and after this weekend's storm. duncan mcnaughton says it hadn't been properly trimmed for years now, and he watched it come down sunday night. >> we've been looking at this

for, you know, a decade, you know, waiting, you know, waiting , knew what was going to happen. but the way it came down, it just missed doing any serious damage to the place. >> san francisco's department of public works says there were about two dozen major incidents with trees blocking roads or dragging down power lines. denman middle school was closed monday after losing power, and this tree in the excelsior district came crashing down onto a car. crews here said the power lines it dragged down were still energized. the department of emergency management said. fortunately, there were no reports of deaths or injuries from this past weekend's storm. but in cases like this, where a tree or a tree limb poses a clear risk, call 911. >> if a human is in trouble. if it's a life safety issue, we want you to call 911. and if it's just storm related 311 is good public works says this past weekend was busy with crews

working through the day and night to remove trees that blocked roads or posed a hazard. >> yes, this was all hands on deck. we had crews working around the clock. as the mayor noted. we also had two contractors working with us. >> the mayor was on hand to check out the damage for herself and says this past weekend, crews worked hard and pulled together to meet the moment. >> i think that the people of san francisco, as well as our city workforce, really stepped up and responded to the occasion . >> the san francisco's department of public works says last year's harsh weather knocked down a lot of the weaker trees around town, so we did not see as many come down this year as last. public works says that they've been also working through the past year to prune those trees, trying to prevent them from coming down. now that this storm has passed, they say it could take weeks to get rid of all of the trees and tree limbs that were knocked down by this weekend's storm in san francisco. christien kafton, ktvu fox two news. >> still to come tonight, the secretary of state makes another visit to the middle east, calling for a truce between

growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message.

homes, a 120 foot tall eucalyptus tree smashed through the roof of a house while homeowners were inside. it happened on grass valley road at about 6:00 last night. several homeowners say they warned the city about leaning trees. for years, the city did remove some of the trees in that area. thankfully, though, no one was hurt when this one fell. >> me and my wife were sitting across the kitchen table and then it just happened so quick at the blinking of an eye. it was over. it just boom. the house tore up. it's a blessing. the ceiling came down around us and we walked out. we were able to come out and around the block. >> a pine tree crashed onto nearby power lines, pinning them to the ground and just down the street, gusty winds flipped a

car canopy upside down. what we have seen many downed trees across the bay area today and last night. as we just have seen, they have been falling onto cars, power lines and homes . >> that's right, ktvu is tom vacar was in sonoma county where firefighters actually responded to hundreds of calls in santa rosa's higher, heavily treed urban wildland areas. >> soaked ground and high winds caused numerous tree falls on knob hill drive. this home was hit by a falling tree over its garage area, doing significant but repairable damage to its structure. a neighbor whose home was not hit described the weather. how would you characterize the winds? are they about as much as you've ever seen up here? yes >> yeah. they were enormous. the trees were swaying crazy. >> she's very glad her family took action on their property. >> we recently had a big oak tree taken out a couple of weeks ago, and i'm really glad we had it taken out because it was right over our bedroom across the street. >> another tree fall just missed

hitting another house a mile away. a number of trees fell, no homes were hit. it was totally unexpected. >> you hear the storms coming in half the time. they don't turn out to be what we say they're going to be. so so it was completely unexpected. we were away yesterday. we got a call. we're like trees are coming down the area. so we came back. >> this is the end game of saturated soil. if you take a look over here, you will see that as this tree fell over all of this ground is thoroughly soaked with water and it's basically muddy. what happens is it leaves a big hole in the ground. the problem with that hole is that changes the firmness of the earth around it. and there are plenty of other trees that might be affected by that. so this is by far are still an active scene. santa rosa fire alone fielded some 200 emergency calls during the storm. >> i haven't seen anything like that in multiple years, with the sustained winds going for as long as they did. everything from branches in the roadway to trees across the roadway to power lines down, and also trees

into homes, you kind of move to an area like this. >> you get away from the town a little bit, but you so you expect this type of stuff, but not at this level. >> in the summertime you worry about the fires, but in the wintertime you do have to worry about some of those trees coming down. and with multiple systems that we've had come through the area, the ground saturation is very wet right now. >> in a related matter, another tree fall ripped up a huge section of road just off river road with the top of the tree actually temporarily obstructing part of very busy river road until crews could clear it from traffic. this monday. graphic shows that folks traveling wine country roads near santa rosa should indeed check in advance to see if they are open. all of this with almost three months of rainy season ahead. tom vacar ktvu fox two news. >> all right, we are checking in on the weather when i come back. we're getting a big break, so that's helpful. i'll tell you about what you can expect. mountains are still snowing pretty hard. i'll be back with a

. >> alrighty, a big difference between this evening and last night. we talked about that before. i mean, it was halle and the winds were really just about peaking just about now, in many cases. so big difference tonight. unless, you know, there are some sprinkles out in the area, but nothing, nothing massive. as you look at the radar, you can kind of see the showers that are lingering and when you get under one of these, like out here by antioch, those are their significant. i mean, the rain is coming down pretty hard when you get in there, but it's widely scattered. so as we go into this evening's out into the evening, i think we're going to be seeing more more stuff, but not as aggressive as certainly last night. so as you look at the, uh, radar, you can see that we've got ourselves in a situation where he can't make the computer go forward. >> i know, right. let me see if i can click this. >> so anyway, you can look at the radar. let's see what we got here. okay um. everything's stopped up anyway. well, let's look at the radar for a little while. um everybody do this move. we okay, i got it back.

i'm back, i'm back. okay. so sorry about that, guys. we got some rain showing up the mountains have a winter storm warning. as you know, we've got the flood watch in effect for parts of the bay area still. and you can see those, you know, here where they are, they're kind of showing up in marin county and then out in the valley. but for us, it's been dropped for most of the bay area, which is great. and then here is a live picture. sorry about that. uh confusion there, but uh, computer got jammed up, which it never happens. these computers are amazing. how how much stuff we run through them and how quickly they operate. and that got jammed. okay, so here's tonight. the model i went right to the computer model the last time, and then here's tomorrow morning. right. so the chance of a shower. yes. and then tomorrow afternoon noon. yeah. so nice day. and then wednesday morning maybe a sprinkle. i think there's a good chance for something but light. and then you see how quickly it clears out. so wednesday is not a not a big deal either. so we're dry essentially compared

to what we've seen. we're dry and we're in good shape. except up in the mountains there's thursday morning, the winter storm warning stays in effect for another. another few hours and they're going to have snow on and off up there. and even tonight and tomorrow morning will be a little bit sketchy as you head to the mountains. so big picture here. much nicer. much nicer that was a big storm. like i said before, if you've lived in california a short amount of time and you're always tired of the old, your old neighbor telling you how, oh, i remember this storm. well, that storm yesterday for a one day storm was pretty, pretty impressive. one of the it was, it was a eight and a half out of ten. so there you go. i'll see you back here at ten. >> all right, bill, thank you. when the 40 niners and chiefs play on sunday, spending on super bowl parties is expected to reach another record high. >> you can figure that. all right. well a report from wells fargo found despite rising inflation, a boost in job growth has helped consumer spending. >> the mostrillionecent four week average price for ground beef $4.25 per pound. that's up almost 12% from the same time last year. some super bowl snacks are actually a little

more affordable. wings are down 5 to 10% compared to last year. all right, the nba goes full on live for its upcoming all star game. >> jason appelbaum has the details. coming up next in sports two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives.

adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. you can make money the hard way as a bullfighter or a human cannonball... or save money the easy way, with xfinity mobile. existing customers can get a free line of our most popular unlimited plan for a year! not only will you save hundreds but you'll also be joining millions who have connected to america's most reliable 5g network. sure is a lot safer than becoming a stuntman for money. get a free line of unlimited intro for a year when you buy one unlimited line. plus, get the new samsung galaxy s24 on us.

already have. i guess you'd call it our first controversy. the 40 niners. they do not like the field that unlv, where they have been assigned to practice all week. they say it's spongy and has noticeable seams in it, and they have concerns about how safe it is. the field was just installed last week with natural grass being placed upon two artificial surface fields. nfl commissioner roger goodell. he addressed the issue earlier today. >> we've had 23 experts out there. we've had the union out there all of them think that's a very playable surface. it's softer than what they have practiced on it. uh, but that happens. it's um, it's well within all of our testing standards. uh, it is something that we think all our experts, as well as neutral field inspectors, have all said

unanimously that it's a playable field. >> so the 40 niners appear to have two options. they can stay put and deal with the spongy field or change locations to the raiders practice facility, where the chiefs are practicing and work around kansas city's schedule. we should have some really from the 40 niners for media day or from opening night later tonight, about six weeks after a super bowl champion is crowned the united football league kicks off. it's inaugural season and this is professional football in the spring. it's the merging of the xfl and the usfl. each will have its own four team conference. the season opens march 30th with usfl champion birmingham stallions taking on the xfl champs. the arlington renegades. and that kickoff, by the way, right here on fox 10 a.m. on march 30th, the warriors they've been lighting it up offensively lately. they've scored at least 133 points in

three of their last five games. but they lost all three of those games because they are not playing defense lately. would that be a point of emphasis for steve kerr tonight in brooklyn? you bet it would be. third quarter stephen curry is doing what he does. knocks down the three pointer. ties the game at 54 to the fourth jonathan kuminga has been playing quite frankly next level basketball ever since his haircut. that's the truth. he's playing great. he has 20 plus. he backs down the defender and then the warriors. it's draymond green to brandon pisemsky who's going to put in the reverse layup. the rookie as the warriors go up by 11. currently warriors are up 91 to 82. in the fourth brooklyn shooting just 37% on the evening. and this is kind of cool. the nba unveiled its new led court which will debut nba all star weekend in indianapolis february 6th and 17th. yeah, it's a little busy, but it's

designed to enhance the fan experience through interactive displays, including design and color changes, live replays, real time stats, interactive games during timeouts. it's not just a court expect to see the new court for the celebrity game skills challenge three point competition and. the slam dunk contest. and yes, it is almost time for spring training pitchers and catchers for both the giants and a's reporting to arizona. middle of next week. just a few days after the super bowl and the kansas city royals, they have locked up their shortstop of the future, signing 23 year old bobby witt. junior to an 11 year deal worth $289 million was the last season his second in the majors. he hit two 7630 home runs, 49 stolen bases. he played gold glove level defense. his dad, you may remember bobby witt, a big league pitcher, won 142 games over his 16 year career and the

eli manning coached the nfc to a 6459 win over the afc in yesterday's flag football pro bowl game. and he also had some fun with the mic in a little rap battle. >> i'm eli manning. yeah let him know i'm nice. yes tom brady's the goat. psych i beat him twice. >> there growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress.

you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message.

it's a beautiful area up here. gorgeous. until now, storms battering the west coast, claiming at least three lives and leaving destruction all across california. >> i got up and came to look outside and it's a wasteland up there now. >> good evening everyone. >> welcome to west coast rap. i'm alex savage, the most intense part of this storm has moved on, but people are still being warned. tonight not to let their
