new year parade. we're live with a look at the preparations underway as organizers plan for the big event. rain or shine. plus the antioch library is now releasing an update on when it is set to reopen. why that decision came shortly after its announcement to close indoor. definitely from ktvu. >> fox two news this is mornings on two and good morning to you. >> welcome to mornings on two. on this sunday february 18th i'm claudine wong. happy weekend. >> one and all. happy sunday i'm frank mallicoat. it is wet. it was wet last night. we do have a bit of a break right now, but we got more coming don't we, rosemary. >> yes, the stronger storm on the way. it's going to bring not only the wet conditions, but the windy conditions and the possibility of thunderstorms at times for the afternoon today we're going to remain with temperatures on the mild side, upper 50s to low 60s this morning, starting out with partly sunny, mainly dry conditions. but again that is going to change in the coming hours. i'll have a better look

at the timeline and what we can expect moving forward. coming up. >> sounds good. thank you. rosemary more rain heading our way. as you just heard. and the wet conditions might make you think about staying indoors on this sunday. but there are many bay area events that will carry on anyway. ktvu james torres live in oakland with a look at what those are and how communities are now adjusting their plans. james, good morning . frank. >> good morning to you. what we had, of course, the first of two storms planned for this weekend are to come through yesterday. not much to it. a little bit of rain here all throughout the bay area, but tonight we expect to see a little more of thatrillionain fall. and of course all of that leaving us with saturated ground and some wetrillionoadways. now we'll take you over to the city of oakland, where the chinatown improvement council is preparing for its second annual lunar new year parade. it will start at 11:00 this morning at wilma chan park. and it's happening. rain or shine. forecast, actually looking in their favor, it seems we won't really see the bulk of

the rain until after the parade is over with, but organizers say they are prepared for the worst with the heavy rain. >> it's a testament to our community and our our board members that we're just resilient. and, uh, it's the year of the dragon. so like we told our participants in community that, hey, you know, we're going to do it this rain or shine. >> we'll take you out of san mateo coast, where many parks and trails will likely stay closed today. park officials say they need to check out the road, trail and facility conditions to make sure the saturated ground, which may include the threat of falling trees, isn't too dangerous for people to walk through. and in millbrae, a rescheduled lunar new year parade, it was originally supposed to happen yesterday afternoon, but organizers say the rain that was coming in would have made it a little too difficult for them, so they were forced to push that back to start this morning. that will start a little later today in the downtown area. reporting live this morning. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news james

, thank you for that. >> the governor's office of emergency services is sending fire personnel and equipment to several counties over the weekend. napa and sonoma are among the bay area counties receiving aid. governor is sending five fire engines, a tractor and an incident management team member to napa county. sonoma county will see an additional ten fire engines, three dispatch leaders, four management team members and a swiftwater rescue team. sunday on how long these services will be made available to the counties communities using the break in the rain are to clean up from yesterday. >> want to show you the scene in santa rosa where a tree came down. there. you can see it on these are some cars and a restaurant parking lot. all happened yesterday afternoon. fortunately no one was hurt, but those cars are badly damaged. there was actually only light wind at the time, but experts say the tree roots probably gave way because the ground is so saturate from the storms. we saw earlier this month. >> so even though the winds are not expected to be as strong as

they were in early february, uh, any gusty winds could likely bring down additional trees. >> well, the possibility of flooding and mudslides is also shutting down roads near mill valley. many people are headed for hardware stores to stock up on those tarps, pumps and sandbags, batteries and lanterns are some other of the most popular items because the wind could push trees down onto power lines, and that would leave people in the dark. most hardware store workers can tell you what you need to do, but workers at one mill valley store say even they can't keep the water outside if the ground is already soaked. >> we do get a lot of flooding each season. we're kind of used to it, though, but the water will come in throughout the store, especially during this bad weather. >> firstrillionesponders are hoping most people will stay off the roads if at all possible. if you do have to be out, emergency teams are reminding drivers do not drive around barricades or through fast moving water. and keep in mind the water may be deeper or more powerful than it

appears. usually crowded beaches in pacifica have been largely empty this holiday weekend, all due to the stormy weather. >> waves is high as 30ft have been crashing to shore for the past couple of days. those big waves have attracted some surfers, but most people have been staying away from the ocean due to the dangerous conditions. one man for pacifica found himself alone while taking his two dogs for their daily walk at the beach yesterday. >> i think they prefer it when there are more people out here. i like it better when it's raining because it's empty out here and we have the whole beach to ourselves, so it's better for me, but for them, probably not as good. >> quiet, quiet. holiday weekend at pacifica beaches comes despite the city's decision to partially reopen one of the city's biggest attractions. large portion of the pacifica pier reopened on valentine's day after being closed for nearly six weeks due to storm damage, but it has since now been closed once again. >> the point reyes national seashore also announced that

there will be some closures as a precaution to the storm. the park says the lighthouse and visitor center is going to be closed, along with drakes beach road and the surrounding area. limantour and mount vernon roads will also be closing and this will last through the end of the day. teams are planning on running an evacuation tomorrow morning to see if those areas are safe to reopen. meanwhile santa cruz county has a flood watch in effect through tuesday. in response, the county is opening up emergency shelters today and there are three locations in the santa cruz veterans hall. on 846 front street depot park at 119 center street, also in santa cruz, and the watsonville veterans hall, which is on 215 east beach street in watsonville. now, space is limited and people will be allowed to go in on a first come, first served basis. >> time now is 707. san francisco's public works is reminding residents that they can still pick up some free sandbags during the rainstorms. residents and businesses can grab up to ten sandbags from

their operation yard. the area of marin and kansas streets. they can be picked up between 8:00 and 2 p.m. monday through saturday. all you have to do is bring proof of a san francisco address, chp warning drivers on their way up to lake tahoe on this stormy sunday morning to be prepared for possible delays and perhaps even detours. we just checked the caltrans website right now, chains are required on highway 50 between twin bridges and myers into south lake. there are also chain required on interstate 80 between nyack and truckee. the chp urging all drivers check the very latest road conditions before heading out to the mountains, because they can literally change in an instant. >> yep, you're going to have visibility issues. you're going to have, uh, obviously roads that need to be cleared. caltrans always works really hard. but when you have weather like this, rosemary, it just kind of keeps coming. and the layers upon layers and then the ice, it can really make for some

treacherous drives. >> and you have a lot of people saying, let's go now before the next advisory kicks in later this afternoon. and yes, a look here over the bay area where we are enjoying a little bit of a break. how about a beautiful start to the day there you can see the blue sky mixed in there with the clouds. you can also see some fog there. low lying fog reported in some areas this morning and no advisory for a dense fog in that area. but we are seeing it thick in some spots. napa reporting a two and a half mile visibility. not too bad, but there is a dark shade of gray heading in and out of the sacramento valley. you can see there the reading in fairfield looks good, but we may find some along that highway. if you are thinking about heading to tahoe this morning, be prepared. you may find some on your way east. meanwhile, concord reporting half mile visibility. most of us looking a okay as we get into the next storm. there it is right off shore, expected to bring with it

the wet, windy weather by the afternoon. i'll show you the timeline here in just a moment. but at this time we are mainly dry. just a little bit of moisture. we can see there on the radar and the sierra looks fairly quiet as well. the advisory for the sierra winter storm warning begins 4:00 this afternoon, so if you're heading out now and you're going to get up there, you should be okay. as claudine was talking about. could be a little slick. take it easy, but coming home could be a problem because this advisory goes all the way until wednesday morning at 10 a.m. meanwhile, for us here at home, we have our own advisories. we have the high surf advisory that continues now until early tuesday morning for very large breaking waves could be very hazardous at times along our coastline. be careful in that area and all of us with a flood watch that goes until wednesday morning. in addition to a wind advisory that goes into effect later this morning and will last until tuesday morning. as we heard earlier, we are not seeing or expecting winds quite as strong as earlier

in the month, but 40 50mph could still topple trees and create those power outages. i'll have a look at the timeline and what we can expect ahead. coming up in just a bit. >> sounds good. thank you. rosemary, if you'd like to stay on top of the weekend weather and the most impacted areas, download that ktvu fox local app . there you will find the latest updates on the storm. by the way, it's a free download for your smart tv. >> well, california is working to restore the home insurance crisis after multiple companies have left the state. how the state commissioner is planning to address that growing problem then? >> we live in a very diverse part of california, so i think it's very important to, you know, celebrate our culture and much of the bay area gearing up for the chinese new year parades . >> we'll hear from one of the groups practicing for san francisco's big parade about the importance of sharing their culture. coming up

made that announcement last night, just 24 hours after notifying patrons its antioch branch would be closed indefinitely. libraries cited concerns over escalating crime, including robberies, drug use and public sex. inside that library, but the county has now approved an emergency contract to provide funds for a private armed security guard and increased patrols around that library. >> well, san francisco's chinese new year parade is just days away. we're pretty excited. the beauty of this historic event is that many groups have dazzled the audience for decades. each year we see some new faces and new performance pieces. ktvu amberleigh attended a dress rehearsal of a group that's participating in the parade for the first time ever, and has

this sneak preview. >> with the backdrop of lake elizabeth in fremont, the northern california hanfu association holds a dress rehearsal for their debut at this year's chinese new year parade. it's almost like a small community that we're in, and it's nice to have this culture exchange. the group has 1000 members from as far north as sacramento and down south to santa cruz and monterey county, with the majority from the san francisco bay area. >> we live in a very diverse part of california, so i think it's very important to, you know, celebrate our culture. >> the name of the group, hanfu, means clothing from the han dynasty in chinese history, kind of forgotten, but still, we want to bring it back and show people how pretty it is. shuai xiao immigrated from shanghai 12 years ago. most members are immigrants from china. chinese music, dance and clothing are

ways to demonstrate pride in their culture and their desire to share it with others. xiao works in tech as a data scientist. >> this kind of like activities just make me feel close to home as well. >> there's a little blouse inside and there's a little blouse outside. nina zhao, a cpa, tells me she enjoys wearing the clothing of an empress. >> a sense of female empowerment. >> it makes me feel confident. so a lot of times before this, i was like, very introverted. >> 5000 years. they have different kind of painting, ju yan tells me her love for the historic clothing turned a hobby into a calling. >> she co-founded the hanfu association in 2017. she says her group is excited to participate in the chinese new year parade. we want more american people know, oh, chinese american has also cool history. >> they are beautiful and they are smart and. >> during the group's

performance at the parade, yan plans to portray a fairy holding a dragon to celebrate the year of the dragon. she hopes to educate and promote appreciation for the chinese culture, our next generation. >> they are born and raised here, so we are part of this great country. >> the northern california hanfu association holds monthly public performances in various bay area cities, each performance will have a theme, reflect of the chinese american heritage in fremont. amber li ktvu fox two news and that's san francisco parade. >> what next saturday? hoping for good weather. and the folks in oakland today. i think they're in luck. >> they'll get a little window for the oakland lunar new year parade. and then our eyes are on san francisco next saturday night. rosemary, we have done that one, rain or shine, like torrential downpour or shine. it's nice to have that nighttime parade with a little bit of a break in the weather. if we can

put the order in. >> yes, i think you were drenched last year. we had the double decker bus so we could go inside, but then you see all everybody standing out in the rain and well, it's, you know, it's only suitable to get back out. exactly. so we were all soaked by the end of it. long story short, giving you a live look here at the partly sunny skies. beautiful start right there as we take a look at the quiet before the next storm. notice even the tree on the left side. they're not really moving. we do have a wind advisory coming along with this next storm. you can see some low lying fog there, so be prepared if you're getting onto the highways, especially if you're going east, maybe heading towards tahoe, you will find some of that along i-80. the sacramento valley is experiencing it. here's a look at some of the rainfall amounts anywhere from a little bit less than half inch in union city to more than 2.5in in ben loman in the santa cruz mountains. so, as expected, our coastal range, santa cruz mountains, was expected to get most of the moisture. but some areas are picking up half inch or so.

number storm number one, the weaker of the two. here's a view of what we're seeing right now. not a lot going on. the storm is still offshore, but working its way towards the bay area. here's a look at the timeline. i think we will be mainly dry for the first part of the day. here's a look at your lunch hour, where it does begin to move into areas along the coast as well as the north bay, and then for the afternoon, we are seeing the not only the wet weather, but the heavy downpour at times and the wind, and then into the overnight hours. it begins to break up. but here we are already into tuesday and the rounds are still coming our way, so we won't be, you know, with complete wet weather and rainy conditions and throughout. but it's not going to go away. it's just going to continue to be on and off, on and off through the holiday through tuesday. we really don't even dry out. it looks like right now until wednesday. and as far as rainfall amounts, we could still see the possibility three five inches over parts of the north

bay along our coastline and in the sierra. looking at another foot to almost two feet of snow. by wednesday night. so with that said, we have been talking about this for some time now. do expect the flooding on the roadways, the sharp rises in the streams, the possibility of the landslides in our hills and those winds, although not as strong as earlier in the month, could create downed trees as well as power outages. temperatures this morning a little bit cooler with the drier air, the partly cloudy skies 46 right now in walnut creek, 52 in san francisco. afternoon highs for today in the 60s and your extended forecast just soggy and wet. even the chance of a thunderstorms into monday tuesday with that very unstable weather coming our way. and then wednesday leaving in lingering showers before we're drying out on thursday. back to you. >> it's just there's just still that sinking feeling that they are leaving. >> we're just going to see them on their way out. >> well, as the oakland a's get

ready to move to vegas, the question still remains where will they practice until that new ballpark is built? why sacramento fans are hesitant despite the talks of the a's going east and despite former president trump in court this week, he is still leading in the polls nationwide. >> and coming up, very latest on the early voting in south carolina. coming up this ad? typical. politicians...

election day for republican voters is next saturday, february 24th. the latest polls do show former president donald trump with a lead of more than 30 points over former governor nikki haley in her home state, but haley feels a growing number of republican voters now believe trump should never be allowed to return to the oval office. as america's. commander in chief. the problem is, if someone is not there to rein him in, he gets out of control. >> look at what he said about nato. he went and said that he would if they didn't pull their weight. he would encourage putin to invade them. the problem is donald. >> haley says trump has a long history of supporting the russian president, while harshly criticizing america's allies in europe. haley is trump's only remaining opponent in the race for the republican nomination for president.

>> a woman who testified against the conditions at fci dublin has returned to the correctional facility. last week, ktvu was first to report rhonda fleming was placed into a punitive cell, then transferred away after testifying. this was done against the federal judge's order, who then took a surprise visit to the bureau of prisons management to have it reversed. fleming's attorneys believe she was transferred away as an act of retaliation, in which fci dublin denies. since her return, fleming tells us the officials are, quote, up to the same old game of intimate nation. >> state insurance commissioner ricardo lara is taking the first big step to make sure california property owners can still get insurance. several major insurers are limiting where in the state they are willing to offer homeowners and fire insurance. they say the risk of wildfires makes it impossible to stay in business, and insurers say the state takes too long to approve insurance rate increases . lara has set a public. hearing

to discuss those issues for late next month. he is asking for public comment ahead of that meeting. >> it is 725. bart is temporarily shutting down service between two east bay stations today. the transit agency is closing service between richmond and el cerrito del norte station to repair track equipment and remove some trees near the tracks. busses will replace train service between the two stations through tomorrow, though the construction will resume for one more weekend in march and. two more weekends in april. bart officials said riders should anticipate delays of up to about a half an hour in that area. >> that's air. francisco zoo is publicly addressing a ticket scam circulating on social media. the zoo says people should not believe any 446 95 deal that claims to be a ticket special in celebration of the zoo's 100 year anniversary to avoid scams like that one, only buy tickets to the san francisco through through its established ticketing partners or at its ticketing office.

to help the dozens of businesses along that section of taraval street, but one store owner says that is far less than the city is giving the smaller number of merchants whose businesses suffered last november, when the week long apex summit was held. >> they were inconvenienced for a week. yeah, all i know that. >> so they ended up at $2.5 million of it. we ended up with $1 million of it. we've been inconvenienced for five years. yeah, well, i'm down 3 million bucks. >> muni has apologized to business owners and says in addition to replacing the tracks and improving safety along the road, the city chose to also replace water and sewer lines. while that street was closed, the city's public utility commission has not commented on the lengthy project. a hawaiian bakery in the east bay is now closed, ono bakehouse in berkeley announced this week it's closing its storefront, effective immediately. the bakery, specialized in making a variety of desserts, including haupia pies and queen emma cakes . the business did not say why

the winds are generally light. that will begin to change a little bit later this morning, because this storm is not only going to bring with it rounds and rounds of rain, it's going to bring with it the wind. if we move in a bit closer, you can see we are partly sunny, mainly dry. even the sierra is very quiet at this moment. with the next advisory is expected to arrive 4 p.m, lasting all the way until wednesday, say 10 a.m. so once it gets going, it will like us be on and off for the next few days. here's a view of the advisory for us. the high surf advisory that began yesterday now extended into early tuesday morning for very large breaking waves along our west facing beaches. the entire coastline and a flood watch, as well as a wind advisory for the entire bay area that begins at 10 a.m. the wind advisory goes until early tuesday morning. the flood watch will be until 10 a.m. on wednesday, so we can expect the rises in our creeks, our streams, the flooding in our along our roadways at times, and the wind expected to pick up a

you what the futurecast model there's a look at lunchtime. so we're beginning to see it come ashore between now and then. you're in pretty good shape. get your errands done and then get back inside. here's a look at 6:00. so we're now into sunset. and for that entire afternoon, it's just been on and off pockets of moderate to heavy rain. we go into the overnight hours. here's a look at 3:00 tomorrow morning. finally seeing a break so we could be with 12 hours of on and off pockets of heavy rain. the wind advisory starts at 10 a.m. and goes all the way until tuesday morning. here's a look at monday morning where, you know, we may start out dry, but there's 10 a.m. and then here's a look at tuesday afternoon. another round coming through. so it's going to be on and off. and just when you think it's gone it's going to come back. here's a look at still some of the rainfall amounts expected. all said and done. could see up to five inches in some of our north bay locations. could see 6 to 7 in our hills and santa cruz mountains already picked up more than two inches more than two, and a half in the

last 24 hours in the sierra feet of snow above 5000ft could get about ten inches. 1 to 2ft. at many of our ski resorts. and even more than that at the higher peaks. temperature wise, this morning, we're off to a little bit of a cooler start into the partly cloudy skies, mid 40s to low 50s, and for the afternoon we're going with 60s. here's a look at the extended forecast. not much change when it comes to the temps and we again are looking at the soggy weather just on and off for the next few days. even the possibility of thunderstorms, lingering showers on wednesday before we're drying out on thursday. claudia. >> okay. thank you. rosemary well, amazon is joining other businesses in claiming that an oversight federal agency should not exist. why? the company argues against the national labor board alongside spacex and trader joe's, and then an oakland restaurant owner becomes increasingly frustrated after his business was hit multiple times by thieves after the break. how some city officials are chiming in, saying something needs to change.

the economy is simply not working for millions of hard working families. they're working harder than ever and they still can't make enough to get by to afford food and medicine to even keep a roof over their heads. we need to build more housing that's truly affordable. we need to address this terrible epidemic of homelessness. we need to invest in good paying jobs, union jobs and investments in our future. this, this is why i'm running for the us senate. i'm adam schiff and i approve this message.

reporter henry lee spoke with the restaurant's manager. >> it's a lot of stress. it's frustration. >> reporter oswaldo sanchez is fed up. he manages agave uptown restaurant in oakland, which has been broken into three times in the past three weeks since it opened in 2016. at 22nd and broadway. it's been burglarized 22 times. >> i have to, like, find a way to, like, get attention from, you know, police department, governor, mayor, whoever it is, because they really need to stop this at about 445 in the morning thursday, this man forced the lock and went straight to the bar. >> he picked up a bottle of mezcal, which is alcohol made from the agave plant. he even took time to read the label. he left with just the bottle, but caused more damage to the door. >> the crime are just driving us , you know. too crazy. >> especially when it keeps happening over and over again. last week, these guys first used a crowbar and then a longer pry tool to break in. the restaurant again. had to pay to fix the

door and on january 30th, several thieves broke in and ransacked the business. >> like it or not, restaurants, businesses around. we're dying. little by little. it's taking money, energy and stress. you know, sometimes it's like you just want to give up. and i'm here today because i want him to stay in oakland. >> oakland city council member noel gayo says he and his family have dined at agave many times. we need to do better to protect our businesses and you know, at the end of the day, henry, they're the ones that pay the taxes, employee pay our residents and i got to keep this restaurant here. >> customers say they want this business to survive, too. >> it does feel like something's changed. it does feel like there's more crime in the city. and it would be, um, totally advantageous for our city council and our police department to get together and work in a community oriented way. >> the manager tells me sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night wondering if he should check his security cameras to check out the next burglary in progress in oakland.

henry lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, amazon says the national labor relations board is an unconstitutional agency. the company's argument came as a legal filing in response to a worker complaint case overseen by the agency amazon says the nlrb's structure violates separation of powers and intrudes on executive powers and denies fair trials. nlrb prosecutors have accused amazon of unfairly retaliating against warehouse workers who want to unionize. the company's position is similar to. elon musk's spacex and trader joe's, who also faced worker retaliation complaint cases. california is not expected to meet its self-imposed deadline on major food waste and its recycling program. two years ago, the state launched the plan to keep organic waste out of landfills, and that includes things like lawn clippings, banana peels, coffee grounds and paper products with food on them like

pizza boxes in a landfill that type of waste emits methane gas, which can do more short terme damage than carbon emissions. if it's sorted out, though, it can be turned into compost. so now some communities have too much compost, and in others there's not enough participation to make separate collection worthwhile. california hoped to eliminate 75% of organic waste by next year, and officials are now being asked if that plan was too ambitious as well. >> this is the nba all star weekend in indianapolis with a gig. the big game rather tonight. and this year there is an exciting new event. warriors steph curry pro basketball's all time three point leader. last night he competed against barry his own sabrina ionescu of the wnba new york liberty both stars thrilled the crowd with their incredible three point shooting skills. ionescu made 18 of 27 shots from the three point line, which would have tied her for the three point title by oakland's native damian lillard.

so that put the heat on curry and as you can see, he made nine of his last ten shots. the money ball to win the three point challenge. >> this is just going to continue to saturate it. and it won't take much. >> well we may be enjoying a break in the storms right now, but more wet weather is expected to come later today. we'll tell you how local agencies are preparing for potential flooding and rain or shine. san francisco will be celebrating the lunar new year with the alaska airlines chinese new year parade, and we're going to be live with a look at the preparations underway as organizers plan to move ahead. whether it's rain or shine. plus, the annex library now releasing an update on when it will be set to reopen. and we'll tell you why that decision came shortly after its announcement that it would close in. definitely >> from ktvu icu fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning to you. blue

skies. that's right. they're not going to last very long. but we are getting some blue skies and sunshine. i feel like that's a very deceiving picture right now because everyone's like, whew, we made it through that rainy night and now we're going to get a break. yeah it is a break, but that's just what it is. only a break. welcome to mornings on two. it is sunday, february 18th. i'm claudine wong, but we'll take the break. >> we'll take it. we need the break after a pretty wet saturday night. more to come. hi everyone. i'm frank mallicoat. let's talk about weather and when that next round of storm is going to move in our show director dave said it looks like summer out there. >> i said, well, we can dream. yeah, that's what looks can be deceiving. yes indeed. we are looking at round two coming our way. the advisories for wind and the flood watch start at 10 a.m, and i do see the rain coming in just after the lunch hour. temperatures for the afternoon are in the upper 50s to mid 60s across the bay area. we are starting out this morning with the partly cloudy skies and a

little bit of patchy fog. a better look at the current conditions and what we can expect coming up. >> all right, see you in a bit. thank you rosemary. more rain heading our way. and that's changing. some plans for some community events all across the bay area over the weekend. ktvu james torres joins us live in san francisco this morning with an update on how some organizers are making adjustments because of mother nature. james, good morning frank. >> good morning. certainly keep your eye on the forecast today because if you poke your head out the door, you'll see blue skies. sunny actually seems like a very stunning day, but of course that is set to change later this afternoon. and that could affect what you do with your day later today. we know the ground very much saturated and still wet from the rain that we saw yesterday, and we expect more of it a little later on. we'll take you to oakland and talk about what's going on there today, because the oakland and chinatown improvement council is preparing for its second annual lunar new year parade that will start about 11:00 this morning at wilma chan park. and they are

saying it's going on rain or shine. forecasts are actually looking in their favor. it seems we won't really see the bulk of the rain until after the parade is over, but organizers say if they have to deal with the worst, they are prepared for it. >> with the heavy rain, it's a testament to our community and our our board members that we're just resilient. and, uh, it's the year of the dragon. so like we told our participants in community that, hey, you know, we're going to do it this rain or shine. >> and we'll take you over to the san mateo coast because many parks and trails there will likely stay closed today. park officials saying they need to check out the road. the trail and facility conditions to make sure the saturated ground, which can also bring in the threat of falling trees, isn't too dangerous for people to walk through. and then over down the peninsula in millbrae, a rescheduled lunar new year parade that was originally set to happen yesterday morning. but those rain showers forced organizers to push it back until

later this morning. they're set to start at about 10:00 in the downtown area. we're live this morning in san francisco. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news loving the sunshine out there right now james. >> thank you for that. the governor's office of emergency services is sending fire personnel and equipment to several counties this weekend. napa and sonoma are among the bay area counties receiving aid. governor is sending five fire engines, a tractor and an incident management team to napa county. sonoma county will see an additional ten fire engines. three dispatchers for management team members and a swift water rescue team. it's unknown how long the services will be made available to those two counties. >> communities are using the break in the rain to clean up from yesterday. we want to show you the scene in santa rosa where a tree came down on some cars in a restaurant parking lot yesterday afternoon. fortunately, no one was hurt, but as you can see, the cars were badly damaged. there was actually only light wind at the time, but experts say the tree

roots probably gave way because the ground is so saturated from the storms we saw earlier this month. >> so even though the winds are not expected to be as strong as they were in early february, uh, any gusty winds, uh, could likely bring down additional trees. >> the possibility of flooding and mudslides also shutting down roads near mill valley. many people are headed for hardware stores to stock up on tarps, pumps and sandbags, bags, batteries and lanterns are some of the other popular items because the wind could push trees down and power lines, leaving people in the dark. and while hardware store workers are helping people prepare, workers at one mill valley store say even they can't keep the water outside if the ground is already soaked. >> we do get a lot of flooding each season. we're kind of used to it, though, but the water will come in throughout the store, especially during this bad weather. >> firstrillionesponders are hoping most people will stay off the roads if at all possible, so if you do have to be out

emergency teams are reminding drivers just don't drive around any barricades. do not drive through fast moving water and keep in mind that the water may be deeper and more powerful than it appears. >> time now is 805. the usually crowded beaches in pacifica have been largely empty over the holiday weekend. all because of our stormy weather. waves as high as 30ft have been crashing ashore here for the past few days. those big waves have attracted some surfers, but most people have been staying away from the ocean because of the dangerous conditions. one man from pacifica found himself alone while taking his two dogs out for a daily walk at the beach on saturday. >> i think they prefer it when there's more people out here. i like it better when it's raining because it's empty out here and we have the whole beach to ourselves. so it's better for me, but for them probably not as good. >> quiet holiday weekend at pacifica beaches comes despite city's decision to partially reopen one of the city's biggest attractions, a large portion of the pacific appear reopened on valentine's day after being

closed for nearly six weeks due to the storm damage, but the pier has since been closed once again because of our weekend storms. >> the point reyes national seashore also announced that there will be some closures as a precaution to the storm. the park says the lighthouse and visitor center will be closed, along with drakes beach road and the surrounding area. limantour and mount vision roads will also be closing and this is all going to last through the end of today. teams are planning to run an evaluation tomorrow morning to see if those areas are safe to reopen. and meanwhile, santa cruz county has a flood watch in effect through tuesday. in response, the county is opening up emergency shelters today. there are three locations the santa cruz veterans hall on 848 46 front street depot park at 119 center street. that's also in santa cruz and the watsonville veterans hall on 215 east beach street in watsonville . space is limited, so people will be allowed in on a first

come, first served basis. san francisco public works is reminding residents that they can still pick up some free sandbags during the rainstorms if you need them. >> resident and businesses can grab up to ten bags from their operational yard in the area. marin and kansas streets. they can be picked up between 8:00 this morning, so they just open until 2:00. that is monday to saturday. actually not open today. all you have to do is bring proof of a san francisco address. chp warning drivers on their way up to the lake tahoe area on the sunday morning to be prepared for possible delays and detours. we just checked the caltrans website right now, chains are required on highway 50 between two twin bridges and myers. you're looking at that right now. it's probably pretty icy out there. there are also chain requirements on interstate 80 between nyack and truckee, california. highway patrol urging all drivers check the latest road conditions before you head to the hills, because

they can change in just a couple of minutes, and i'm going to try to work my way up there after the show today. and rosemary gave me a window. yeah, a small window to get out there. >> and when you look at the roadways, it's kind of deceiving. twin bridges is right when you start really that, that really hard climb and then going up and over and then drop down into south lake tahoe in that area, i mean, the ice and you know, and when it gets windy up there and then you have more weather coming, that can be one lane either way too, for a part of that. yeah, it can be a treacherous drive. rosemary. >> yeah. you know, gosh, i think the last time i was coming home it just a little bit of snow. i mean, it was just kind of like drizzling and it made it just very scary. and dangerous. so be prepared. we have more winter weather on the way. here's a look over the east bay where we are starting out with partly cloudy skies that tree on the left awfully still. so a quiet before the next storm. we do have a little bit of fog reported in our delta area. the

carquinez strait area. concord reporting a visible pretty low. you can see it there on the icon. temperature wise, we're a little bit cooler because of the clearing out there during the overnight hours. and this morning, 46 santa rosa, as well as concord, low 50s san francisco and oakland checking in on the visibility here again, concord, one of the spots reporting a quarter mile. but that dark shade of gray is indicating we've got more out there, especially if you're hopping on the highways and heading east. you may find some in the sacramento, san joaquin valley area. the central and south bay looking okay, at least when it comes to visibility on the roadways. here's a look at the storm. it will begin to move in. it looks like just after the lunch hour right now. still fairly quiet to here in the bay area as well as the sierra. let's talk about the sierra, where the advisory for winter travel begins at 4:00 this afternoon, and goes until wednesday, 10 a.m. with feet of snow and wind expected over in along the passes and above. for

us, the high surf advisory continues into early tuesday morning for very large breaking waves. we're talking 22ft 28 at times is the flood watch for the entire bay area. the wind advisory for the entire bay area. both of these begin at 10 a.m. as well, and you can see here from the forecast and projections, we do expect it to be very breezy to windy along our coastline, in our hills, but all of us could see winds gusting 3040, even a little bit stronger at times, and that's enough to bring down the trees as well as create the power outages. and this advisory goes until early tuesday morning. a better look at the rainfall amounts in the timeline coming up in just a little bit. okay >> thank you rosemary. well, today marks one year since former president jimmy carter entered hospice care. we'll tell you what his family is telling the public this morning. also ahead, the rain not only impacting us here in the bay area, but the daytona 500 on the east coast as well. >> how the florida weather is affecting the great american

race coming up my late father-in-law lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga. like straight lines that seem wavy, blurry, or missing visual spots that make it hard to see faces like this one, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you've been diagnosed with amd and notice vision changes, don't wait. ga is irreversible. it's important to catch it early. talk to your eye doctor about ga and learn more at gawontwait.com this ad? typical. politicians...

closed indefinitely. libraries cited concerns over escalating crime, including robberies, drug use and public sex inside the library, but the county has now approved an emergency contract to provide funds for a private armed security guard and increased police patrols around that library. >> your time now is 814, and san francisco's chinese new year parade is just days away. the beauty of this historic event is that many groups that have been there have dazzled the audience for decades, but each year there are also new faces and new performances and ktvu amber lee attended a dress rehearsal of a group that is participating in the parade for the first time ever, and she has this sneak preview. >> with the backdrop of lake elizabeth in fremont, the northern california hanfu association holds a dress rehearsal for their debut at this year's chinese new year parade. it's almost like a small community that we're in, and

it's nice to have this culture exchange. the group has 1000 members from as far north as sacramento and down south to santa cruz and monterey counties, with the majority from the san francisco bay area. >> we live in a very diverse part of california, so i think it's very important to, you know, celebrate every culture. >> the name of the group, hanfu, means clothing from the han dynasty in chinese history, a kind of forgotten. >> but still, we want to bring it back and show people how pretty it is. >> shuai xiao immigrated from shanghai 12 years ago. most members are immigrants from china. chinese music, dance and clothing are ways to demonstrate pride in their culture and their desire to share it with others. xiao works in tech as a data scientist. >> this kind of like activities just make me feel close to home as well. >> there's a little blouse inside and there's a little blouse outside. >> nina zhao, a cpa, tells me

she enjoys wearing the clothing of an empress. a sense of female empowerment. >> it makes me feel confident. so a lot of times before this, i was like very introverted. >> 5000 years, they have different kind of, uh, painting. >> julian tells me her love for the historic clothing turned a hobby into a calling. she co-founded the hanfu association in 2017. she says her group is excited to participate in the chinese new year parade. >> we want more american people know, oh, chinese american has also cool history. they are beautiful and they're smart and. >> during the group's performance at the parade, yan plans to portray a fairy holding a dragon to celebrate the year of the dragon. she hopes to educate and promote appreciation for the chinese culture. >> our next generation. they are born and raised here, so we are part of this great country. the northern california hanfu

rain delay there the first time since 2012. so we got rain on the brain, certainly. and it can be very impactful to spaces around the country, around the bay area. and we're certainly seeing that here. rosemary. >> yeah. so we do have a little bit of a break out there starting out with some sunshine. it's not going to last though. storm number two already on the way. get out and enjoy it while we have it. a live look there at the golden gate bridge. the winds are generally light. that's expected to change with the wind advisory that begins at 10 a.m. now. temperatures this morning as a result of some of that clear sky out there falling below where we had what we had yesterday morning. so mid 40s to mid 50s, santa rosa and concord reporting a little bit of fog at this time. if we check in on the visibility. santa rosa ten miles there, not too bad. concord has been kind of stuck at a quarter mile and you see the dark shade of gray there through the carquinez strait as well as through the delta this morning. do expect it if you're getting onto the highways and you're heading east, maybe you're headed to tahoe. you do have an opportunity now with dry weather

here as well. the storm warning for the tahoe area and the west slope goes into effect at about 4:00 this afternoon. soon, meanwhile, the storm is on the way. you can see a little bit of moisture out over the pacific and the center of the storm. still churning over the pacific. that's going to take days to move out. and with that, we are expecting days of rain to come our way. the winter storm warning goes until 10 a.m. on wednesday, so getting up to tahoe today may not be that tough, but coming back could definitely be an issue. so keep an eye on the forecast for us. flood watch begins at 10 a.m. bay area wide high surf advisory now extended until early tuesday morning for large breaking waves on our west facing beaches and the winds bay area wide as well. expected to gust 40, perhaps 50mph at times. that could topple the trees and create the power outages. a better look at the timeline and how much rainfall i expect we'll get coming up in the extended forecast.

relocation centers, what we know as internment camps. 120,000 japanese americans ended up unjustly incarcerated here. to talk more about executive order 1966 and the events involving it that are taking place this weekend. locally and across the country. we are joined by jeffrey matsuoka, the chairman of the bay area day of remembrance. such an important history, a very sad and dark chapter as we describe it. but this is the important time where we say we cannot forget what happened. >> that's correct. yeah. in fact, that's the whole idea behind the day of remembrance. in order to remember and to ensure that what happened to our community doesn't happen, ever again to any other community here in the united states. >> and i and i find with, with these kinds of chapters in our history that are hard to talk about, that, that i hear younger people say, i can't believe that happened. and my response is always like, yes, but you should know it did. >> that's correct. yeah. you know, it's kind of amazing that. and it's sad, actually, that people don't know or even

remember what happened to our communities, japanese americans during world war two. and the important lesson there, of course, is that, um, you know, at the time, japanese were kind of, um, well, of course, you know, the, the internment was kind of the result of a long sort of history of racial discrimination against asian americans, chinese americans and japanese americans. but of course, with the bombing of pearl harbor, um, that sentiment basically translated into into a political, um, force, basically, that eventually led to the, uh, trampling essentially of civil rights for japanese americans. and it was a pinpoint of fear in what can happen in history and politically when people use fear to then change policy. that's correct. and in fact, you know, in fact, the commission that eventually, uh, the congressional commission that was set up to investigate japanese, um, the japanese internment as well as reparations site did, in fact, the lack of political, um, will

as well as war hysteria as one of the factors behind and causing this travesty, really, and you have a very personal story. >> your mother and your reading your mother's story in in how she wrote it down. she was actually living in peru. i mean, this is how your family actually ended up staying in san francisco because of what happened to her. take us through her story, if you can. >> yes. well, my family's story is a little bit unusual in the sense that my mother was actually born in lima, peru, and her, that's her right there on the screen, right? that's right. that's that's her right there. that's a picture taken actually in crystal city, texas, which is the internment camp where they were actually brought from south america. and my grandfather, of course, had come from japan. and he had started a business in in lima, peru. um, unfortunately, because of a lot of lot of reasons, you know, the even the peru was a neutral country and was not aligned, you know, against japan in the war.

nonetheless you know, they obviously had had relations with the united states interest of the united states and the united states basically were interested in prisoner exchanges for american citizens, capture by the japanese. um, you know, army during the world war two. so it's obviously, um, very inconvenient to trade american citizens for, for, for these prisoners of war. so it was one, uh, offer was, in fact, to trade non-american citizens for these american prisoners of war. and that's one of the reasons why they were brought to the united states. and then ended up being sponsored and staying. >> but i think those stories are so important for people to understand the many nuances and different stories that led people and led families to be in these camps that we now know as internment camps and, and these pathways that, that brought us here. it's so important to, to hear all the different ways. it's not just one story. there are so many versions of it in there. yes, i think you had an event, important event last

night. uh, there's a national day of remembrance tomorrow. talk about how the bay area will remember this. this time that we may not want to remember, but we need to. >> right. well, you know, of course, we had our bay area day of remembrance last night at in japantown, the san francisco japantown and that was our 45th annual, um, day of remembrance and the san francisco bay area day of remembrance is actually the second oldest bay of the bay of bay area, or day of remembrance. yeah. observation in in the united states and we've had an annually because it is important, you know, to remember uh, it's a commemoration of course of the sacrifices and the injustices that were visited upon our ancestors as well as, you know, um, and also we also want to use it as a platform in the sense that it we also want to advocate for other communities that might be facing. there are, in fact, facing the same injustices that our community faced. >> we can learn many lessons from that history. well,

jeffrey, thank you for coming in. i appreciate all you're doing to help mark and remember what is a very important part of our history as we learn from it and continue to learn from it. thank you so much. >> great. thank you very much for having me and the san jose day of remembrance will also be taking place beginning tonight at 530 at the san jose buddhist church on north fifth street. >> participants will include a world war two incarcerate survivor, students and professors from san jose state university, and there will be a candlelight procession there. the school is holding several other events tomorrow as well. tomorrow again is the national day of remembrance, so there should be events across the country. all right, let's talk about our weather at 848. rosemary, watching the changing conditions for us. >> yes. we'll want to keep the rain gear handy over the course of the next few days. this stronger storm coming in is going to linger on and off. rain and wind expected. so when we do have the wind, as you know, sometimes the umbrella doesn't really work. it can actually break your umbrella if you're in a windy, prone spot. here's a

look at the golden gate bridge, where it is a calm, beautiful start to the day. the winds are generally light. we do have dry weather for a little bit of sunshine. here's a look at some of the rainfall amounts from the first system. anyway there from almost half inch in some spots to two and a half plus in ben lowman, the santa cruz mountains two inches in almost 7/10. so we again awaiting the next system that is still offshore. the center of the storm. back in here, you can see the circulation. it's going to take a few days before it finally pushes east and bringing with it that very unstable air that's kind of at the core. so in addition to rain, the wind, we could see thunderstorms at times getting into the days ahead. when it comes to the wind. by this afternoon, when the rain does arrive, do expect the winds to turn on as well. the advisory begins at 10 a.m, but along our coastline we're seeing shades of pink. in our hills, we're seeing shades of orange and red, and all of us are expected to see the winds pick up. but

especially windy along our coast. in our hills, strong enough to topple trees and to create those power outages when it comes to rainfall amounts. all said and done, here we are into wednesday night. several inches of rainfall expected could see up to five inches in the north bay. could see more than that in our hills and the santa cruz mountains. and we are looking at a lot of snow in the sierra for us here at home. that could create a flooding on our roadways, could create slides in our hills. it's just going to be a lot of rain as we get into the next few days. now the future cast on this, we're dry through lunchtime, but by 1:00 it's moving in and it looks to be heavy at times. over the course of the entire day. here's a look at just past sunset, which is right before 6:00 this evening. and then as we get into the overnight hours, it will push through and we'll get a little bit of a break. but then we are looking at more rain on monday about 11 12:00. so tuesday day

into place at 10 a.m. so do expect it to, you know, grow increasingly strong as we get into the second part of the morning. the flood watch also starts at 10 a.m, although right now it looks like the rain will once again begin after lunchtime. high surf advisory has been in place since yesterday and will continue until early tuesday morning. a better look at the current conditions and what we can expect coming up. >> all right. thank you rosemary . well, many organizers of lunar new year celebrations are close. watching the weather today. ktvu james torres live for us in millbrae this morning where a lunar new year event had to be postponed until today after rain interfered with the original timing and james, at least for now, it looks pretty nice where you are. no doubt about that. >> cloudy and blue skies in the air. pretty sunny at this point too. you see the tents that are all set up here in downtown millbrae. we are along broadway this morning. vendors are all set up for what looks like will be a long block party here. this

is, as you mentioned, originally set to happen yesterday, but organizers say the threat of yesterday's storms and the actual rain that came down that forced them to have to push the celebration back until today. we'll take you over to oakland, to where they're also staying alert. the chinatown improvement council is preparing for its second annual lunar new year parade. it will start at around 11:00 this morning at wilma chan park. and it's happening. rain or shine. forecast actually look to be in their favor. it seems we won't really see the bulk of the rain until after the parade is over with, but organizers say they're staying prepared with the heavy rain. >> it's a testament to our community and our our board members that we're just resilient. uh, it's the year of the dragon. so like we told our participants and community that, hey, you know, we're going to do it this rain or shine. >> we'll bring you back here, live in millbrae, where things haven't officially started. just yet. the actual official quote unquote doors will open at about

10:00 this morning. but you see, the vendors have all of their stuff out and set up. you see the number of people who are already kind of checking in and shopping and helping set up as well. now the festival kicks off officially at ten, and after that, i think after 11:00, specifically, that's when we'll start seeing a lot more of what looks like a parade and different food and entertainment performers, firecrackers as well. so what you would normally see at these types of these type of festivals, you'll start to see that a little later this morning. we're live this morning from millbrae. i'm james torres ktvu, fox two news. thank you james. >> the governor's office of emergency services sending fire personnel and equipment to several counties over the weekend. napa sonoma among the bay area counties receiving some aid. governor sending five fire engines, tractor and incident management team member to napa county and sonoma county will see an additional ten fire engines, three dispatch teachers, four management team members and a swiftwater rescue team. right now, it's unknown how long these services will be

talking about all morning long, it's sunny across most of the bay area right now, but that will change shortly. and that is why some local event organizers have changed some of their plans here in the bay. ktvu james torres live in millbrae. you are on the run, my friend. where the lunar new year celebration had to be rescheduled and will now be held today. james, take it away. yeah and they're asking you not to change your plans. >> if you wanted to be out here this morning. frank. good morning to you. blue skies above us. sunny sun in the air. and of course, that may change a little later this afternoon. but the folks here are hoping that the rain doesn't come as early in the day as it did yesterday. check it out right next to me here. we've got all the food that's being prepared. i've seen menus for skewers. i've seen menus for hot pot as well. a number of vendors have a bunch of snacks set up on tables. we've got about 50 different vendors, uh, as not just for food, but of course, arts and crafts, all that kind of stuff that you would normally see at any other festival happening today here in downtown millbrae.

i want to take you over to oakland as well, because organizers there are trying to keep an eye on forecast two. they are planning their second annual lunar new year parade happening at wilma chan park a little later today, and that is set to happen. rain or shine. and that was originally scheduled to happen today. that was the intention all along. that's the big difference between oakland celebration and millbrae celebration. millbrae was expected to do theirs yesterday morning. they saw those concerns about rain and then as of thursday morning, they decided to push it back. one day, which a woman with the millbrae multicolor committee who puts on the festival says it was kind of a hard thing to do. >> i was pinned down in front of my computer for a good seven hours. yeah but then we were very lucky. all our participants, sponsors and our vendors, they all fully supported. they totally understand. and then with all my honorable guests, they all very much understand why we change it . yeah it takes a lot of

communication to make sure you can still do that same festival to the same level, but push it back just a day. >> well, this is a festival that is actually still pretty young. they've only been doing this since about 2019, and of course had it suspended for two years because of those covid 19 years. so they're still very much growing. like i said, uh, more than 50 different vendors and food vendors out here this morning. so very much growing. and they're still trying to find a way to get more people to come out here and enjoy and see what this area has to offer. they will officially open the doors. as in, the festival will officially begin at about 10:00 this morning. they'll go until 8 p.m. tonight. and at this point they say if it rains is what it is. we're live this morning from millbrae. i'm james torres, ktvu , fox two news. >> not much. you can do about that, james. right now. it's gorgeous down there in the south bay. lots of blue sky. good stuff. chp warning drivers if you're on your way up to the lake tahoe area on this storm sunday, be prepared for possible

delays and detours down the road. we just checked that caltrans website right now. chains are still required on highway 50 between twin bridges and myers into south lake. they're also chain requirements on interstate 80 between nyack and truckee. and we're looking at soda springs. they're not too far from donner summit eastbound, and it looks like cars are moving along pretty well on 80 right now. but tonight it's going to be snowy. chp urging all drivers check the latest road conditions before you jump in your car and head up to the lake. local weather isn't causing too many problems at bay area airports, though. sfo has the most flights affected a total of six flights had to be canceled. 36 were delayed. most of those are with united and alaska air. no delays at the other two major airports, san jose did have six flight delays. oakland has nine flights delayed. southwest airlines seems to be the most of those delays. well public hearing is scheduled for thursday on the

interaction needs can be more easily met. jimmy carter, by the way, is the oldest president ever. he will turn 100 in october and tomorrow is the holiday for most people. of course, president's day, which the u.s. state department says is set aside a day to honor all the u.s. commanders in chief, not just mr. washington and mr. lincoln. that means all federal, state and local government offices are closed. that includes courts. most libraries, u.s. post offices. they are closed as well. banks as well as the stock and bond markets in new york. there shut down many schools also have the day off. a lot of kids have the week off, and most transit agents are operating on a weekend schedule. so take note. but most stores and restaurants are open for business. >> ktvu open for business as well. our newscast will be we always are here and ready for you. and certainly rosemary, it is a busy time for you. uh watching this weather and the systems that keep coming in, it's just day after day after

coastline in just about noontime just after. and then the rest of us getting into the first part of the afternoon as well. it's going to take days before this storm finally moves east. and with the center here having to pass through, that's where some of the most unstable air lies. and that will increase our possibility of even thunderstorms at times. let's talk about the wind first to getting into the early part of the afternoon and into the second part of the afternoon. notice all the reds and the pinks and the oranges primarily along the coast and in our hills, but all of us are going to experience the wind. the advisory goes until early tuesday morning and not going to be quite as strong as what we saw earlier in the month, thankfully, but still strong. enough to create power outages and topple trees so it could be hazardous at times. meanwhile the futurecast model, if we go into late wednesday night early thursday when the storm is finally pushed out and we are drying out, we could see several more inches of rainfall,

especially in the north bay, especially in our hills, as well as, uh, the santa cruz mountains, the coastal range, and over to the sierra. we go where we have a foot to two feet of snow, a possibility above a 6000ft, and some of those higher peaks are likely to pick up even more than that. that's some great news for the snowpack. but could be hazardous for folks that are trying to get up to tahoe or back home early in the week. for us, the shallow landslides along our hills, the sharp rises in our streams, our creeks, our rivers, all a possibility as well as flooding on our roadways and as i mentioned a moment ago, the strong winds could also create a hazardous conditions. temperatures around the bay area right now under mainly dry conditions. we do have 57. in san francisco and 51 in the inner east bay of livermore. so it's a nice start to the day and our afternoon highs will be in the 60s. once again. even a few upper 60s will be a possibility for the peninsula. san jose. your extended forecast. our
