days away, and once again, ktvu is honored to broadcast the biggest lunar new year parade outside of asia. and it's a spectacular event including colorful floats, marching bands, lion dancers, plenty of other sights and sounds that have thrilled big crowds for decades. and this year's parade is expected to be bigger and better than ever. we have more than 120 participants, and we're going to have 19 float, uh, doing the

parade and our ticket 4500, uh, tickets already been sold out. >> so it's going to be amazing. we're going to be having at least 200,000 people visiting san francisco to, uh, celebrate chinese new year with us. >> sounds like fun. chinatown businesses are making final preparations for the big event next saturday night. organizers say the parade always gives a big boost to san francisco's economy. >> well, for more than 100 years, saint mary's has promoted language and cultural in the chinese community of san francisco. its drill team and drum and bugle corps have been part of the chinese new year parade since its inception. >> but in recent years, the drum and bugle corps was dissolved because of financial problems. so the drill team had to perform by itself. this year, though, that's changing. as ktvu claudine wong tells us saturday night, both the drill team and the bell corps will perform together again.

>> the newest members of the saint mary's drum and bugle corps are still learning, but everyone is looking forward to the return of the corps, who will for the first time, rejoin the drill team at this year's chinese new year parade. kong hei fat choi. >> happy new year! >> before, i really loved hearing like all the music that they made. i think that really made everything more lively. >> i do think so. i feel like there's going to be more energy and you can really feel the spirit of the chinese new year. >> this will be just the next chapter of saint mary's long history with the san francisco community. >> in 1921, we started the school both a chinese language school and also the english state school. so it's two schools parallel saint mary's was formed as a church and a school, but from the beginning there was also a commitment to preserving and promoting chinese culture and traditions. >> that's what led to the formation of both groups, drum

and bell. >> because besides the language and we also want to introduce the music to the to music and also the instrument to the students. and so in 1943 and, and we established this group, it's called drum from the very beginning. it's called drum corps. and then later on they changed the name to drum and bell. and then the drill team, more like a, um, a formation formation marching, but and then the, the, the costume, the there wearing is all made with silk and from back then is from china. >> and since the beginning both groups have been a part of the chinese new year parade. >> since the i think since the very first year they they invite or they have this parade and we were there and it wasn't just san francisco. >> the saint mary's drum corps performed at jfk's 1961 inaugural mission. they traveled around the country and around

the world. how louder. but recent years have brought changes. today, you will still find language classes on the weekend and at saint mary's, and the drill team practices there as well. but the drum and bugle corps was a program run through the day. school and so when in 2016, the day school closed for financial reasons, the drum and bugle corps also eventually dissolved. and so last year, when the drill team performed in the chinese new year parade, they did it alone. >> but then. then last year, when in we were in the marching and it's raining and we just noticed that without music, without drum and bell, just the drill team is kind of a little bit out of sync. >> and so the decision was made to bring it back with the help of a former member to lead them. they found a handful of kids who were willing to learn. it is a

small start when you consider that in its heyday, the corps boasted around 30 members and now you have six. >> no, we have six. it's better than none. yeah, it is a start. >> the start of the next chapter, the continue ation of a tradition remembered and beloved by so many. the drill team. >> i feel like it's just a bond we've made and like, just a nice family that, you know, fan drill is. i like how that we can bond with each other and just, like, get to know each other and the drum and bugle corps together over again, i hope they see the community that we've built and how we just love doing this for our culture here in san francisco. >> claudine wong, ktvu, fox two news. >> ah, thank you claudine. very nice. the alaska airlines chinese new year parade by the way, this saturday, february 24th, the big event celebrates the year of the dragon. and you can watch the parade right here with us on ktvu. be sure to join

claudine wong and mike mibach at 6:00 saturday night right after our newscast at 5:00. >> i will do that. the time is now. 418 will millbrae lunar new year parade and festival had to be postponed slightly because of rainy weather. it was originally scheduled for saturday, but organizers moved it to yesterday morning instead, and vendors were able to set things up without any problems because they had sunny weather sunday morning. >> 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 that event has been around for about four years. when it first began, it didn't stretch any longer than a block. last year it brought in more than 10,000 people, and organizers hope this year's turnout will be just like that. oakland celebrated the lunar new year with a parade through its

chinatown neighborhood. this was oakland's second annual lunar new year parade. >> the celebration was hosted by the oakland chinatown improvement council, which is committed to helping small businesses in the neighborhood, and organizers say they hope to bring new people to chinatown to see what it has to offer. >> we're going to showcase oakland chinatown, uh, culture, our our restaurants, our shops, our restaurants. so this event is to draw people out from out of town, from out of the state to come to oakland to sample our hospitality. we >> organizers say oakland's chinatown is one of the oldest chinatowns in the u.s. all right. >> our time is 420. rosemary's back talking about your weather for this monday morning holiday kind of roller coaster weather today. >> yeah, we were talking about that during the break. absolutely. right now it's kind

of a break in the storm where we do even have a little bit of clear sky out there this morning. and mainly dry conditions. here's a look over the city. uh, the sun will rise just after 7 a.m, and we are likely to see a little bit of sunshine. uh, it's kind of the sunshine that helps to add to the instability of the weather for today. and with that, i will say there is the risk of isolated thunderstorms. and i'll show you coming up here in just a moment. first, the current conditions, temperatures this morning in the 50s. we're starting out a warmer compared to yesterday. and again, with most of us experiencing light winds. it's actually kind of a nice start out there this morning. here's a view of storm tracker two. there's a look at where we're at right now. this is what is coming by about eight 9:00 or so. it looks like it will begin to roll ashore. we've got snow continuing in the sierra. here is the center of the storm until this moves out, we are going to continue with just rounds of rain and the most unstable air lies right in here.

so that is what is going to again, help to trigger those thunderstorms for today, maybe even a few for tomorrow before it moves out. and when it moves ashore, so does the wind pick. the wind picks up as well, i should say. here's a look at 9 a.m. notice how we went from yellows to now purple and oranges and reds, primarily along the coast, primarily in our hills, but everybody is included in this wind advisory. we've been talking about now and into the afternoon and evening hours. it does lighten up some, returning to some yellows out there, but our hills, our coastline still remain very windy with wind gusts expected 40 to 50mph or so. not quite as strong, thankfully, as earlier in the month, but still enough to carry out those power outages. topple trees, things like that. rainfall amounts we could see anywhere from 1 to 3in by wednesday morning, when we finally begin to dry out and the sierra is going to get a good amount of snow, here's a look at to 8 a.m. this morning. there's a look at tuesday morning and then into wednesday morning, five finally moves out and we

are drying out. afternoon highs for today. low to mid to upper 60s. your extended forecast here. showers and the risk of thunderstorms will remain today. tomorrow. if you do experience a thunderstorm in your outdoors, take shelter. get inside. it can be dangerous. as we know, unsettled weather on wednesday, but we'll call for dry weather with just a slight chance of scattered showers on saturday for the parade. we are dry on sunday. back to you. >> all right, rosemary, thank you. a day of remembrance for the japanese americans who were forcibly sent to internment camps during world war two. the reason today's anniversary is so important for many bay area residents, and it was a record breaking nba all star game last night. >> the bay area native, who's been named most valuable player

my name is irene. my job is community school coordinator. my mom taught us that it doesn't matter how much money you have, you can always find a way to help. we started the pantry because the needs were so great. we're very fortunate to have the food bank just a few miles down. i just want our kids to experience what other kids experience, and learn to say "what do i want to be when i grow up?" and not worry about food. was named the most valuable player of this year's record

breaking nba all star game. now, the eastern conference became the first team to score more than 200 points last night in indianapolis. i'm not kidding there, steph. final score. 211 to 186. 211 to 186. there wasn't much defense from these all stars as oakland native damian lillard of the milwaukee bucks was named the most valuable player. he had 39 points, including 11 three pointers. >> i think in a game like this, you know it's going to be pretty loose and you're going to get your opportunity. his being in the starting lineup, i knew i played longer stretches, get more minutes, and i'm i just told myself i'm a i'm going to be aggressive and i'm going to keep firing. i saw a couple go in and after that it was just like, i'm going after it. >> he's incredible. damian lillard went to saint joseph notre dame high school in alameda, grew up cheering for the warriors. and by the way

next year's nba all star game will be here in the bay area at chase center. well today thrive city will host its annual black history month celebration this year's headliner is grammy award winning artist rhymefest, who just released a new project. >> in addition to the live music, there will be dance performances by local groups and a mobile exhibit looking at music's influence on the black experience in america. today's celebrations are from noon until 3 p.m. we have an important warning to tell you about a kids food recall coming up. why some parents may need to have their children tested for lead exposure, and the south carolina primaries are underway today. >> we tell you how long republicans have to cast their vote for the candidate they want to represent. the republican party in the

last. plus we are counting on this positive decision of the congress. >> for us, this package is vital. >> troops in ukraine have to pull back from one city surrounded by russian forces. the president of ukraine now asking for help and another flaring incident at an east bay refinery. but we hear from public health officials who say it was not a risk to residents from katie icu fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for joining us here. on mornings on two i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> it is monday morning february 19th. happy holiday to you. you too. >> thank you. here we are. >> yeah. and there's rosemary. she's right here. she knows all about the rain. that's just right outside our doors. >> yes. we are looking at more

in the way of wet weather coming our way. a little bit of a break at this hour. snow continues in the sierra and the advisories continue for us here at home. a flood watch for the entire bay area, lasting until early wednesday morning. even a flood advisory for our north bay valley locations for today. high surf continues across our west facing beaches for the afternoon and the winds we are seeing a little bit of a breeze out there right now, but do expect them to pick up once again later this morning. i'll have a look at the current conditions and what we can expect moving forward. coming up in just a little bit at 430, let's see how the highways are doing this morning with james. good morning james. >> rosemary good morning to you. we'll look forward to that forecast a little later today. it's not actively raining right now but the roads certainly are slick. and we're only about 30 minutes into this broadcast and we're already seeing some problems. you see some of the icons there and the east bay, east bay, rather. but i'm going to focus in a little bit on the eastern half of oakland here. this is out in the hills on

highway 13 and big tree, about a ten foot tree came crashing in, blocking all lanes of traffic here. crews have already done a really good job of trying to clean it up and get it cleared for some of the traffic that is coming through right now, they've got about two lanes of traffic now open, so if you're driving that direction the next few minutes, you should be able to get through without any trouble. but that is still something that might be a little bit of a slowdown, something you need to know before you head out the door. heading into san francisco looks pretty good, but we just got word of an accident on the san mateo bridge that slowed things down for just a moment. but as you see there, traffic now running smoothly, it is. 431. let's go back to dave. >> okay, james. thank you. well, in the north bay, small business owners say all of the rain we're getting is hurting their bottom line. the owners of the cal nursery says when business is business is good. when the weather is good and people are eager to get out into their gardens. but when it rains, fewer people want to go outside, let alone digging some dirt or mud. and it's a problem for the nursery itself as well. one employee said. it floods during

big storms. >> we have to get out the pumps actually, because we have little pumps in front of the door here, and if we don't get them going, the water will literally rush through the shop. we're basically underwater over here when it rains and some people feeling more adventurous has decided it'd be fun to surf in the rain. >> these high school seniors say they've done it before, but say they are really good, experienced swimmers. they don't recommend that others try it because they know it can be dangerous, as there are high surf advisories in effect along most of the california coast. >> here in the bay area, waves as big as 20ft have been hitting some of the areas in san diego county and orange county. the surf is peaking at about 12ft, but there are warnings about rip currents. the advisory is expected to remain in effect from san diego all the way up to marin county through tomorrow night. lifeguards are reminding people there are rules they should follow to stay safe

around the ocean. >> number one, don't go out into the large waves if you are not experienced. um on any day you should swim in a area that's guarded by lifeguards. we don't see these waves very often here in san diego. most people don't have the opportunity to train for these waves. so we're saying people who are expert only and most beach communities have extra lifeguards on patrol during the storms, at least in southern california. >> so they can respond quickly to any emergencies. but even if you don't go into the water, you could see some beach erosion. so there could be some slides along the beaches as the storms and wet weather moves through the bay area, we're going to have expanded weather coverage for you on our fox local app that includes live radar, live cameras across the bay area. just download that free fox local app for your smart tv to get updates from our meteorologists around the clock. >> all right, our time is 434. ukrainian troops had to abandon what had been a key stronghold

in the fight against russia because their supplies are dwindling. >> as madeline rivera reports, president biden is continuing to push congress to approve additional aid for ukraine. >> ukraine's president says they need more supplies to keep holding off russia's advances, but it's unclear when or if that aid will come from the u.s. russian tanks roll into the city of avdiivka in eastern ukraine, following a months long onslaught from russian forces. ukraine's president says his troops are in need of more u.s. weapons and ammunition to prevent russia from taking more territory. >> we are counting on this positive decision of the congress for us, this package is vital, a decision that currently resides in the house and could be weeks away. >> lawmakers left town for a two week break without voting on an aid package passed by the senate last week, a decision blasted by president biden two weeks. >> what are they thinking? my

god, this is bizarre and it's just reinforcing all the concerns and almost i won't say panic, but real concern about the united states being a reliable ally. >> house speaker mike johnson dismissed the criticism and says he won't be pushed into voting on the more than $95 billion foreign aid package that includes money for ukraine. some democrats, though, think johnson is simply caving to outside pressure, as he's afraid they're going to kick him out of speaker unless he uses democratic, unless he goes with democratic support and in that case, he's going against donald trump. but there are a number of republicans who still believe congress will deliver on resupplying ukraine. and other key allies. >> and i do think that there is an opportunity when we get back to washington to move this important aid package forward, because it is so critical. >> a potential vote on the foreign aid package could be more than a week away, with the house not scheduled to return until february 28th. in

washington, martha rivera, fox news. >> thank you, madeleine. police in russia have detained more than 400 people who took part in massive protests over the weekend. they're paying tribute to vladimir putin's most vocal critic, who died last week at a remote penal colony near the arctic circle. the family members of alexei navalny had say they have no doubt he was murdered. they say they are certain putin is directly responsible for his death, and that is a view shared by president biden. a family spokeswoman is now calling on the kremlin to immediately release his body. >> the body was taken by investigative committee and they are conducting some sort of investigations, uh, with him. uh, so right now we don't have access to the body and we don't know for sure where it is. putin's longtime political enemy was serving a 19 year prison sentence for what the kremlin had called political extremism. >> his death comes less than a month before the national

election in russia that is certain to keep putin in power for another six years. >> our time is 437. happening today. people across the bay area expected to take part in a mass demonstration to demand an immediate cease fire in gaza, organizers also calling on president biden to help end the fighting. the crowds will gather at san francisco's civic center plaza at noon today, with thousands of israelis gathered in tel aviv calling for the release of hostages held by hamas in gaza. the protesters say time is running out for their government to act and work out an agreement. family members say they've waited 135 agonizing days for information about their loved ones. ruby chen has advocated for the release of his son and american citizen, who was taken hostage by hamas on october seventh. >> we need benjamin netanyahu to also stop playing games, okay? get his team into cairo,

negotiate, put a fair deal on the table and end this phase right now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected recent negotiations, calling the demands of hamas delusional. >> early voting is now underway in south carolina's republican primary election day for republican voters is this saturday. >> the latest polls show donald trump, with a lead of more than 30 points over former governor nikki haley in her home state. but 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. >> haley says trump has a long history of supporting the russian president, while harshly

special. well, more than 100 years since for 100 years saint mary's has promoted language and culture in the chinese community of san francisco. it's drill team and drum corps have been part of the chinese new year parade since its inception. >> i want to demonstrate by in recent years, the drum and bell corps had to be dissolved because of financial problems. so the drill team had to perform by itself. but this year that's changing as ktvu claudine wong tells us now, saturday night, both the drill team and the bell corps will perform together again in. >> the newest members of the saint mary's drum and bugle corps are still learning, but everyone is looking forward to the return of the corps, who will for the first time, rejoin the drill team at this year's chinese new year parade. >> kong hei fat choi choy. happy new year! >> before i really loved hearing like all the music that they

made. i think that really made everything more lively. >> i do think so. i feel like there's going to be more energy and you can really feel the spirit of the chinese new year. >> this will be just the next chapter of saint mary's long history with the san francisco community. >> in 1921, we started the school, both chinese language school and also the english state school. so it's two schools, parallel. >> saint mary's was formed as a church and a school, but from the beginning there was also a commitment to preserving and promoting chinese culture and traditions. that's what led to the formation of both groups. >> drum and bell, because besides the language and we also want to introduce the music to the to music and also the instrument to the students and so in 1940 and we established this group is called drum from the very beginning. it's called drum corps. and then later on they changed the name to drum and bell. and then the drill

team, more like a, a formation for asian marching. but and then the, the, the costume, they, they're wearing is all made with silk. and from back then is from china. >> and since the beginning, both groups have been a part of the chinese new year parade. >> since the i think since the very first year they they invite or they have this parade and we were there and it wasn't just san francisco. >> the saint mary's drum corps performed at jfk's 1961 inauguration. they traveled around the country and around the world. how louder. but recent years have brought changes. today you will still find language classes on the weekend at saint mary's and the drill team practices there as well. but the drum and bell corps was a program run through the day school. and so when in 2016, the day school closed for

financial reasons, the drum and bugle corps also eventually dissolved. and so last year, when the drill team performed in the chinese new year parade, they did it alone. >> but then. then last year, when we were in the marching and it was raining and we just noticed that without music, without drum and bell, just the drill team is kind of a little bit out of sync and so the decision was made to bring it back with the help of a former member to lead them. >> they found a handful of kids who were willing to learn. it is a small start when you consider that in its heyday, the corps boasted around 30 members and now you have six. >> no, we have six. it's better than none. yeah it is a start. >> the start of the next chapter, the continuation of a tradition remembered and beloved by so many. the drill team. >> i feel like it's just a bond we've made and like, just a nice family that, you know, fan drill is. i like how that we can bond

morning. all right, steve paulson might grumble if i ask too far in advance, but rosemary oroczo is here and, uh, you know, looking ahead to the parade. >> yeah, it's always kind of concerned. people come out rain or shine, but does it look right now like it's going to be fairly clear for the parade? or we might get more rain. >> there is a chance about a 20% right now. and we've been talking about this. right. because last year we were drenched by the end of it. like the rain really picked up and boy, everybody's still out there with their umbrellas. uh, till the very end, uh, outside our doors at this time, you may or may not need the umbrella. we're actually with a little bit of a break after the rain continues to fall during the overnight hours. right now, we're in between with more coming ashore. here is a look at some of the rainfall amounts since it began in on saturday at napa. reporting more than an inch and a half a san jose and sfo, both reporting three quarters of an inch, and then you get into our hills, ben lowman and the santa cruz mountains, almost five

inches mount diablo in the east bay, almost two and a half. and along our coastline. point reyes reporting two inches almost a quarter. there here's a view of storm tracker two. we have snow that continues in the sierra with an avalanche watch going on there this morning, as well as a winter storm warning. we have more offshore and the unstable air associated with this system. here you can see kind of just circulate over the pacific. we'll continue to bring us not only the rounds of rain, but the isolated thunderstorms. so here's a look at the futurecast. 7 a.m. notice the reds, the pinks, the yellows indicating that possibility thereof. but with this pattern, the thunderstorm could really pop up anywhere. here's a look at to 9:00. it's moving into areas along san francisco, the peninsula 10:00. it's now to the east bay. your lunch hour a little bit of unsettled weather there into the afternoon, calling for the afternoon drive if you have one. calling for mainly dry conditions, but that risk of a thunderstorm remaining in place and as far as rainfall amounts anywhere from a quarter inch to an inch and a half

today. but we are still likely to pick up more before all said and done on wednesday. meanwhile, the winds will also be picking up ahead. you know when the rain moves through and the thunderstorms obviously you can see the shades of purples and reds pretty much along the coast and over our higher elevations. but everybody has the potential of seeing those gusts so we could see the toppled trees and power outages for today. temperatures this morning on the mild side, it is breezy out there. we do have temperatures in the 50s right now. and then as we get into our afternoons, not much change moving forward. chance for showers and thunderstorms remain on tuesday calling for dry conditions for a couple of days and then the chance for unsettled weather into the weekend. dave >> all right, rosemary, time now. 522 a day of remembrance for the japanese americans who were forcibly sent to internment camps during world war two. the reason today's anniversary is so important for many bay area residents. and last night's nba all star game was a record breaking one. we'll tell you about the bay area native, who

211 to 186, a game that didn't have a whole lot of defense among the all stars. oakland native damian lillard of the milwaukee bucks was named the mvp. he had 39 points, including 11 three pointers. i think in a game like this, you know it's going to be pretty loose and you're going to get your opportunities being in the starting lineup, i knew i played longer stretches, get more minutes and, um, i just told myself, i'm going to be aggressive and i'm going to keep firing. >> i saw a couple go in and after that it was just like, i'm going after it, and he can do it too. >> damian lillard went to saint joseph notre dame high school in alameda grew up cheering for the warriors by the way, next year's nba all star game will be played at here in the bay area at chase center. well former nba star charles barkley once again taking aim at the bay area. >> if you had a chance of being cold or being around a bunch of homeless crooks in san francisco, oh that's great.

to hear from public health officials who say it's not a risk to residents. it's from i'm ktvu, fox two news, this is morning on two. good morning. thank you for waking up with us here on morning sun two. i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> monday morning february february 19th. did you know it's breezy and cold outside our door. >> it does feel breezy and cold. >> rosemary knew that. i just threw that in there and we are going to add a little bit of rain and the risk of thunderstorms with that. >> dave and pam, good morning to you. yes. the unsettled weather continues for today with the advisories in place as well. high surf advisory for our coast , a flood advisory for the north bay, a watch for the rest of us, and the wind advisory continues until early tomorrow morning. two we do have the possibility of thunderstorms. and with that, we do have, again, the sharp rises on streams, creeks, things like that expected the roadway flooding going on today and the winds could pick up downed trees and power outages still a possibility. for a better look

at the current conditions and what we can expect for the week ahead. coming up at 531, let's see how the highways are impacted this morning by those wet roadways. good morning james . >> yeah rosemary good morning. it's going to be a little bit of trouble a little later this morning when we see some of that traffic really start to pick up. it is a holiday weekend after all, so we may not see too much of an issue. but here's some stuff you need to know before you head out the door today. san mateo bridge looking a lot better than it did about 30 minutes ago. we had a crash there where someone rammed into a wall, had debris all over the roadway. looks like they were able to clean that up and get the roads going a little bit better before we see the peak of the commute for the morning, point your attention over deep into the east bay. here, a normal trouble spot when we see heavier rain. niles canyon road, the caltrans thatrillioneporting approximately six feet of roadway washed away overnight, so that's between sunol and pleasanton, along niles canyon road. so keep that in mind before you hit the roads. 532 this morning. let's go back to dave.

>> all right, james, thank you. well, the rains already causing problems for the morning commute. if you have to work today. ktvu alice wirtz is along highway 13 in oakland, where a tree fell down across the road and is blocking the lanes. alice good morning. >> good morning. yes we do have a road hazard here on highway 13. the warren freeway between redwood road and joaquin miller going northbound, a large eucalyptus tree fell in the middle of the roadway. the call came in to opd at about 3:17 a.m. from a driver who actually impacted the tree. uh, that person was transported complaining of pain. this tree, we estimate to be about 60ft tall and opd was able to move part of the, uh, broken branches out of the roadway. caltrans, you see, just showing up now, they're going to be taking care of clearing this debris. but in the meantime, um, traffic is starting to warm up here, folks

are getting on the road right about now. uh, chp tells us that there was no one else involved, just the one vehicle and the one person that was transported. and they've been here since about 315. this, or rather, after opd showed up, chp was called. they showed up. and for now we're just waiting for this tree to be removed. lots of rain and wind has probably upset some of these tall trees. established roots here. uh, along this freeway, there's a ton of acacia trees, eucalyptus trees, and one of the chp officers i spoke with mentioned how since he's been on this route for six months or so, he's already responded to three downed trees along this roadway. so extra caution goes out to anyone that's going to be using this freeway this morning. this is northbound 13 between redwood road and joaquin miller road. they've only got one lane open. the number one lane that's closest to the inside of the

roadway. and you can see this large eucalyptus tree needs to be taken away. i'm live here in oakland in the oakland hills along highway 13. alice wurtz ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, alice. thank you. time now. 534 in the north bay, small business owners say all the rain we're getting is hurting their bottom line. the owners of the cnl nurseries say business is good when the weather is good, and people are eager to get out into their garden. but when it rains, fewer people want to go outdoors. let alone dig in the dirt or mud. and it's a problem for the nursery itself as well. one employee said. it floods during big storms. we have to get out the pumps actually, because we have little pumps in front of the door here, and if we don't get them going, the water will literally rush through the shop. >> we're basically underwater here when it rains, and some people actually feel more adventurous and they decided to

surf in the rain. >> look at these high school seniors. they say they've done it before, but they're good swimmers and they don't recommend others. try it because that can be dangerous. >> as the storms and wet weather move through the bay area, we're going to have expanded weather coverage on our fox local app that includes live radar, live cameras across the bay area. just download that free fox local app for your smart tv to get updates from our meteorologists around the clock. after months of ukrainian troops holding off russian advances, ukraine had to abandon a key stronghold. >> old. yeah, and russian tanks have already rolled into the city of dikwa. now ukraine's president zelensky said he needs more supplies, especially weapons and ammunition, to stop russia from claiming eastern ukraine as its own. house speaker mike johnson says he won't be rushed into a $95 billion aid package for ukraine.

but other republicans think congress will be able to resupply ukraine and other important allies quickly. >> and i do think that there is an opportunity when we get back to washington, to move this important aid package forward because it is so critical now. >> the house took a two week recess. they won't be back in session until february 28th. and even then, there's no timetable for how fast congress could put together. also, debate and vote on a new foreign aid package for ukraine. >> police in russia have detained more than 400 people who took part in massive protest over the weekend. they were paying tributes to vladimir putin's most vocal critic, who died last week at a remote penal colony near the arctic circle. the family of alexei navalny say they have no doubt he was murdered, and they say they are certain that putin is directly responsible for his death. that is a view shared by president biden. a family spokeswoman is now calling on the kremlin to

immediately release his body. >> the body was taken by investigative committee and they are conducting some sort of investigations, uh, with him. um, so right now we don't have access to the body and we don't know for sure where it is. >> putin's longtime political enemy was serving a 19 year prison sentence for what the kremlin had called political extremism. his death comes less than a month before the national election in russia. that is certain to keep putin in power for another six years. >> our time now, 537 happening today, people across the bay area expected to take part in a mass demonstration demanding an immediate ceasefire in gaza. organizers are also calling on president biden to help end the fighting. those crowds will gather at san francisco civic center plaza at noon today. well thousands of israelis gathered in tel aviv calling for the release of hostages held by hamas in gaza. the protesters

say time is running out for the israeli government to act and reach an agreement. family members say they've waited 135 long days for information about their loved ones. ruby chan has advocated for the release of his son, an american citizen who was taken hostage by hamas on october seventh. >> we need benjamin netanyahu to also stop playing games, okay? get his team into cairo, negotiate it, put a fair deal on the table and end this phase. >> now, israeli prime minister netanyahu has rejected recent negotiations, calling the demands of hamas delusions. all our time is 5.39. back here at home, chevron now investigating another flaring incident at its refinery in richmond. city officials say chevron reported a level one flaring incident, the lowest level it happened just before noon yesterday. you're

looking at video from another recent flaring incident. health authorities are saying there is no risk to the public with this low level of flaring at 539, is the time back over to rosemary oroczo for our forecast. >> how's it look today? >> ah, i'm going to say unsettled with the possibility of thunderstorms storms. so with that said yeah, it's going to be one of those days where we get a little bit of blue sky and sunshine. we get the downpour or perhaps the thunder, the lightning. here's hoping we get a rainbow as well. here's a look over san francisco, where we do have the sun on the way. sunrise just after 7:00 this morning and again likely to see a little bit of sunshine. now if we, you know, get the sun and some warmth at the surface, that just increases the instability pretty well as it collides with the colder air above. so that will enhance again the risk of thunderstorms for today. temperature wise we're warmer compared to yesterday. most of us are in the 50s. santa rosa reporting 53, san francisco 57.

mainly dry at the moment, picking up on a few scattered showers here now approaching areas north of point reyes heading into healdsburg and some of the north bay coastal hills there. as we head to the hills in the sierra, we have snow falling above 5000ft. this morning, the winter storm warning for the sierra will continue until wednesday morning . so just off and on, off and on . continuing here as well. and an avalanche watch right now into effect for that area until 745. the system that remains offshore will just send us rounds of rain and the potential and risk there of the thunderstorms for today. a little breezy outside in some areas. we have nevada reporting a wind gust to 22. oakland reporting sustained at 18 livermore a wind gusts to 22 sfo wind gusts to 40 for mount diablo, 43. so the wind advisory remains for the entire bay area into early tomorrow morning. and we do expect it to be breezy to windy for today. a look at the

futurecast model. we'll see if we can pinpoint some of these scattered showers expected to arrive for today, and the rest of the week. coming up. >> all right, rosemary, thank you. time now. 541 new warnings about a scam in the north bay. next at 6:00. what the scammers are using to trick costco members and some advice on how to protect your wallet and the people's choice awards. >> they were held last night. we're going to show you some of the movies and tv series that took home the biggest awards.

it's the work behind the scenes, let's take a look at this knee. that truly matters. [ physical therapy staff discusses results ] for your mind. for your body. and for the community. -team! kaiser permanente.

kids were targeted by executive order 9066. president roosevelt signed that order. it led to 120,000 people of japanese descent being forcibly sent to internal in camps during world war two. the chairman of the bay area day of remembrance says at the time there was not much resistance to that order. >> the congressional commission that was set up to investigate chinese, the japanese internment , as well as reparations, cited. in fact, the lack of political will as well as war hysteria as one of the factors behind and causing this travesty, really.

>> now, last night, a day of remembrance event was held in san jose at the buddhist church on north fifth street, and even more events will be held today in san jose, marking the day of remembrance. >> a recent food recall is a reminder of the risks of lead poisoning, especially in young children. there have been more than 400 suspected and confirmed cases of lead poisoning in children who ate applesauce products from guanabana, schnucks and weis, but there is a more common source of the toxic metal in paint and plumbing fixtures and older homes, and it can lead to serious health issues. there are concerns that it might alter their developing central nervous system, and they might present with with learning disabilities. >> the best way to protect yourself is if you have a young child that's six years of age or younger is to get their blood tested, to figure out if they might have an elevated level of lead in in their blood. >> doctors and nutritionists say a healthy diet that is rich in

calcium and iron can help prevent anemia and can lower the risk of high lead levels. >> time is now 546. there's a new report this as bad air quality is a key factor for some people to move out of california . the report from redfin says the entire bay area has poor air quality, mainly because of wildfires and that, combined with the high housing prices, is affecting the people making a decision to move out of california. a recent survey finds generation z workers are choosing texas over any other state to build their futures, according to a report in a 2022 us census bureau report, texas gained the most gen z movers year over year. the housing platform zillow says the net gain of in texas of gen z residents was more than 76,000. that was followed by california with about 44,000. zillow says

gen z's are coming for opportunities and also affordability. well many americans make new year's resolutions to eat healthier, and this is now the time of year when a lot of people say their plans aren't working. >> the center for food demand says 80% of people surveyed say they want to lose weight, and they plan to do so by eating healthier foods. however, the survey also shows most of them know how to do it. >> consumers plan to reduce consumption of candy and desserts, and also reduce consumption of salty snacks, and they plan to increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as lean proteins. >> but when asked to keep a food diaries of what they eat, americans don't live up to those plans, the professor says. when the entries are analyzed on a 100 point scale, the average american only hits a score of 58 for healthy eating, which he says is an f plus. he also says most americans have an overly optimistic view of how well they

meet nutrition guidelines. >> ouch. that hurt pat. well, california is not expected to meet its self-imposed deadline for a major food waste recycling program. two years ago, california launched a plan to keep organic waste out of landfills, including lawn clippings, banana peels, coffee grounds and paper products with food on them like pizza boxes. well, now some communities have too much compost and in other communities there's not enough participation to make separate collection worthwhile. the state of california hoped to eliminate 75% of organic waste by next year. >> barbie was one of the big winners at this year's people choice awards. >> you made barbie a global cultural phenomenon, an actress, america ferrera took home the award for movie performance of the year in last night's ceremony in santa monica.

>> her monologue in the barbie movie is phenomenal. she also praised barbie star margot robbie and its director, sacramento native greta gerwig, while accepting the award. in all, barbie won six people's choice awards as taylor swift was the big winner in the music category as the pop superstar won four awards, including female artist of the year. fans decide the winners of the people's choice awards, which honors the stars of movies, television, sports and pop culture. >> you're happy pam. >> yes, okay. >> all right. i thought you would be all right. time is 549. let's see what james is saying in our commute. i know it's wet around the bay area. how's how's traffic? >> yeah, it's wet, and that's all because of the rain we've seen over the weekend. not so much of what rain we're seeing this morning, because we're not seeing any of it just yet. pointing your attention over to niles canyon road between pleasanton and sunol. we got part of the roadway washed off about six feet of it, so expect to see one lane of traffic going

in both directions here. actually, i think even at one point they're going to do it. one way of traffic for the time being, you might have someone with a slowdown sign and a stop sign to kind of take turns traffic going either way, but it's kind of a mess out there for now, so keep that in mind if that is part of your commute. this morning we got a little bit of trouble in oakland, but i don't expect that to last much longer. we had a eucalyptus tree that came down over highway 13 and that was blocking all lanes of traffic. but since then, crews were able to chop up the tree a little bit, open up some lanes, and i can't expect that to last too much longer here. of course, we'll let you know once that changes. heading into san francisco today. not too much of a problem. the bay bridge toll plaza moving along smoothly. 550 let's get a look at our forecast for the day. rosemary oroczo talking about maybe some rain later. >> yes, james, it's going to kind of be a wacky weather day, right? where we have a little bit of sunshine, a scattered showers and thunderstorms, rainbows, all a potential for today. giving you a look here over san francisco. so we're waiting the sunrise and again

likely to see breaks in between the system. it was kind of nice to have that sunshine yesterday morning, especially for all the festive parties that were going on yesterday. the rainfall amounts are starting from saturday, picking up almost five inches in the santa cruz mountains. meanwhile, sfo, san jose reporting three quarters of an inch, oakland half inch. you get into the north bay mill valley, two inches point reyes, two inches almost a quarter, and it looks like we have some drizzle and light rain falling over areas near point reyes at this time. so still accumulating. here's a look at the center of the system. not going to move through until it looks like wednesday. and with that we will continue off and on, scattered showers and the most unstable air lies within the core of that storm. and that's where we are likely to, again, add the risk of thunderstorms. here's a look at what we're seeing about 8:00 or so. shades of reds and pinks and yellows and oranges indicating the risks thereof. over the

north bay. now we have the possibility here in san francisco and moving into the oakland area, a mid-morning. here's a look at 10:00. it just keeps coming through. but notice it's not widespread rain and with this pattern, it really is hard to pinpoint exactly who is going to get the scattered shower or the risk of thunderstorms definitely favors our higher elevations. a coming off the coastline, we could see it and rainfall amounts for today. anywhere from, oh, a 10th of an inch, maybe for the inner east bay to an inch. and a half. if you do experience a thunderstorm. if you do experience a thunderstorm, just a reminder. take shelter. get inside. don't risk it. here's a look at what we're seeing for the sierra 2 to 6in of new snow accumulation expected for today. as we move through tuesday, we'll call for a near repeat. even temperature wise, we're not changing much. we're in the 50s this morning, 60s for the afternoon. we do get into some drier weather for the back end of the business week. it doesn't last. we'll call for evening showers on friday and a chance for showers on saturday. back to

you. >> all right. thank you. rosemary, an electrical upgrade is heading to a marin county community this week. the impact on pg and e customers and how long renovation work is expected to last. >> and it's one of the oldest pro soccer teams in north america. we'll tell you how the san jose earthquakes and their fans celebrated the 50th anniversary of the club what i thought was a complete life was nowhere near complete. but it is now. vo: learn about adopting a teen at adoptuskids.org

and square over the weekend. there was a refrigerant leak yesterday afternoon at an apartment complex on bush street near stockton. a three people were examined. they were later released. the fire department says that leak was isolated to a built in refrigeration system. in that building. and over in oakland, several people are out of their homes after a fire over there, oakland fire responded to a five story building saturday morning on broadway near 17th of the 48 units in that building, residents from two apartments were displaced, but they didn't want any help or special support from the red cross. one person was treated for minor injuries. both the giants and the a's position players report to spring training this week.

>> that will continue at least for another day or two. pam and dave, good morning to both of you. as i was saying, keep the umbrella handy for today because it's going to be one of those days where you don't know what's going on. we've got breaks out there right now, followed by some more rain coming ashore in the next hour or two, and the risk of thunderstorms today. temperatures right now in the 50s. so warmer than yesterday and relatively mild for february . let's talk about those advisories that pam mentioned a moment ago. the flood advisory for the north bay goes another 45 minutes or so. we are seeing some small stream flooding across parts of the north bay. meanwhile, the watch for the entire bay area goes until early wednesday morning. we're also dealing with the wind advisory. it's a breezy one out there and expect the wind gusts to continue for today. the advisory for wind is until 4 a.m. tomorrow. meanwhile, if we get closer to the coast, we do have a high surf advisory that continues into early tomorrow morning with very large breaking waves that will continue anywhere from 22 to 28ft for

some isolated areas. there's a look at storm tracker two. you can see a few light scattered showers popping up now over the north bay. a better look at what we can expect a moving forward coming up in just a little bit at 601. let's see how the highways are shaping up this morning with james. good morning rosemary. >> good morning. well it's going to be a little bit of a mess out there this morning. i want to point your attention over to pittsburgh and show you a post that the pittsburgh police department had been talking about here. there was a car that crashed into what looks like this big utility pole collapse on top of it. they say the roadways around here will reopen in at 1 p.m. later today. that's several hours of a closure. there they're calling it a major traffic collision. this is near harbor street, near small world park. they're asking you stay away from this area and i'll show you the maps here to show you exactly where they kind of want you to avoid. so this is just an overview of the east bay here. you see all the incidents all over the place. we'll zoom in here to the pittsburgh area just off of highway four. they say the north and southbound lanes are closed between

atlantic avenue and east leland road. and then the eastbound lanes are blocked at presidio lane. again, it's going to stay that way until about 1:00 this afternoon. so that is part of your commute. if you need to get to highway four, you'll need to find another way to do that. we're going to check in on a number of different roadways all over the bay area, including niles canyon road, which they're reporting. part of it has washed off from the rain this weekend. we'll talk more about it coming up in just a few minutes. 602 let's go back to pam. >> all right. thank you james. we'll see you in a bit weather. certainly our top story this morning california has been taking steps to ensure the state is prepared for this latest round of storms. governor newsom activated the state emergency operations center, where it helps coordinate state, local and federal responses to any problems the storms may cause. us crews have responded to several counties around the state, including napa and sonoma . now, small businesses in the north bay say all the rain is hurting their bottom line. the cal nursery says it's pretty popular when the weather is

good, but when it rains, fewer people want to go outside, let alone dig in the dirt or mud. and it's a problem for the nursery. the store often floods in the rain overnight. the stormy weather caused issues on the road, so we're talking about downed trees and ktvu is amanda quintana is in santa rosa with what we are expecting in the north bay today. still, it looks windy for sure. still no rain up there. amanda >> yeah, so of course it starts raining. i pull the umbrella out and then it stops raining. it's going to be e of those days where you're going to have to pull it out, put it back, and then the wind kind of blows your umbrella. so just be ready for things to change today, because we are going to see rain on and off. and then you're going to have that gusty wind as well. but it does seem like it's going to be less intense than it was yesterday. yesterday, sunday into monday we saw a lot of rain and that did make for a mess here in the north bay, bringing down trees and knocking out power for some homes, multiple roads were flooded as well. one couple had a tree hit a power

line right outside their home. >> we're reading in the living room and then we saw some sparking. notice that a power line was on the street. so he was able to convey that and the fire department pg and e were here lickety split. >> some roadways prone to flooding and mudslides were closed preemptively. the rain will be on and off today until wednesday morning, and we could see thunderstorms and more gusty winds. and of course, with all this rain adding up over the next few days, flooding is also a concern we've been seeing. we have that big storm in early february and then storms kind of back to back every few days. so the soil is already saturated. so the big worry is that with that saturated soil, the roots are not really holding on. so even just a little wind can bring some trees down. that's something to definitely watch out for today. fire officials.

police, they are aware and they are ready for those calls as well. today, to live in santa rosa. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news okay, amanda, thank you. >> time is 605 in marin county. part of highway one is closed because of flooding. highway one, also known as shoreline highway, is closed between south of tomales petaluma road and north of snake road. the office of emergency management didn't say when that road may reopen. and don't forget, you can get your weather forecast and see the latest stories about the storms hitting the bay area. even when we're not on the air. by using the fox local app, it's a free download for your smart tv. just click on ktvb icu in the app. >> well, pga crews across the bay area are certainly busy during storms and the company is also getting ready for a major electrical equipment upgrade in sausalito. later this week. pga crews will begin work to repair

and replace power lines and poles across the city. many of that electrical equipment was installed more than 50 years ago, pga says the project will take about three months. >> it's our time is now. 606a fishing boat that ran aground on a beach in sonoma county, almost two weeks ago is still stuck. the fishing boat crew was able to swim to shore, but that boat is damaged now. the coast guard says it can't refloat the boat because it's weighted down by sand and water that poured through a gash on the side of the boat. so the boat captain is being told, try to remove it before it breaks apart. but with 25 foot tall surf and storms this week, it's not likely that could happen fast. but it also increases the risk the boat will send fuel, plastics and other debris across the area. >> well, today is a holiday for many people. it's presidents day . that means the us state department. set aside a day to honor all the us commanders in

chief. that means all federal, state and local government offices are closed, including the courts. most libraries and post offices will be closed as well. banks as well as stock and bond markets are also closed. many schools are closed and most transit agencies are operating on weekend or holiday schedules. however, most stores and restaurants are open well. >> san francisco's chinese new year parade is just five days away, and again, ktvu is honored to broadcast the biggest lunar new year parade outside of asia. and it's a spectacular event including colorful floats, marching bands, lion dancers, and plenty of other sights and sounds that have thrilled big crowds for decades. and this year's parade is expected to be bigger and better than ever. >> we have more than 120 participants, and we're going to have 19 flow, uh, during the parade and our ticket 4500, uh, tickets already been sold out. so it's going to be amazing.

we're going to be having at least 200,000 people visiting san francisco to, uh, celebrate chinese new year with us now, chinatown business owners are making final preparations for the big event next saturday night. >> organizers say the parade also gives a huge boost to san francisco's economy. the alaska airlines chinese new year parade is this saturday night, february 24th. the big event celebrates the year of the dragon, and you can watch the parade right here with us on ktvu. be sure to join claudine wong and mike mibach at 6 p.m. saturday right after our newscast at five of all right, 609, back over to james torres, covering traffic, doing a great job. >> you have a lot to talk about today, james. >> yeah, we do. and we're only just getting started here a few minutes after the 6:00 hour. i'll take you over to deep into the east bay talking about that

niles canyon road, uh, trouble spot here. it's a typical trouble spot when we get a lot of rain, and it looks like it's affected somewhat from what we saw over the weekend here. caltrans of course, reporting that part of a roadway has washed off. it's not really new to that area, but certainly if you're driving through there, that can be a pain for the commute that you have to do a little later today. they say about six feet of the roadway has washed off. that's a pleasanton sunol road. uh, and that is now causing caltrans to try to figure out a way to get that to be accessible for folks who need to drive that way. the westbound side of that is still completely shut eastbound and is technically open, but they're going to use that as a one way traffic for each direction. so keep that in mind before you head out the door. today we also got a report of, uh, what sounds like a big rig that might have crashed into a pole on the bay bridge toll plaza, heading into oakland, trying to learn some more information on that. i can't see it on our camera here. so heading into san francisco, your drive will be smoothly once we get more info of course,

we'll pass it along to you. 610 this morning. let's go back to the news desk. >> thank you. james well, there's a new warning about a scam at costco. what? the scammers are using to trick costco members and some advice on how you can protect your finances and some of the nba's biggest stars played in saturday's all star game in indianapolis over the weekend. >> we'll show you some of the highlights and some of the events that led up to it 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.

just a few days after it was abruptly shut down. ktvu is andre senior joining us now in the studio to talk about what's behind the decision and the actions being taken to keep the library safe. good morning andre. >> good morning to you pam. the contra costa county library system made a surprising announcement friday night. it was closing its branch in antioch until further notice. county leaders cited their concerns about a crime problem at the antioch location that they said was getting out of hand. now, they said that criminal activity was threatening the safety of both library workers and patrons. they cited a growing number of robberies and vandalism, both inside and outside the antioch library. and they say there were other serious crimes taking place around the bookcases. >> we've also had drug activity and drug use, both inside the library and on library property. uh, there's been multiple incidents of people having sexual intercourse inside the library or on library property in full view of patrons and staff. um we found bullet

casings on library property, but the county reversed its decision to close the antioch library just 24 hours after that surprise announcement. >> the county said it approved that emergency contract that will provide funds for second private security guard. that money will also pay to update the camera system, improve the fencing surrounding the library. however many longtime antioch residents understand the library's decision. they say things have changed since they were children. >> we used to be able to leave our doors open and leave our bicycles outside, sleep at night, lived here all my life like i was telling you. you know , all my life. never had no problem. went to, um, fremont, um, elementary right here. and uh, antioch, um, junior high. but now they call it middle and then in york high school, city leaders in antioch say they were totally caught off guard by the decision to shut down the library. >> uh, mayor lamar hernandez thorpe says no one at city hall was informed of this decision ahead of time, including the police chief, library leaders

say the branch is owned and operated by the county, so county supervisors were notified. the library will be back in business tomorrow with increased security measures. dave >> all right. andre, thank you. time 615. happening today, the oakland chapter of the naacp, as well as religious leaders, will hold a holiday prayer vigil about the out of control crime problem in oakland. they will be honoring the people who've lost their lives because of growing gun violence. they'll also be a discussion on how to improve public safety for everyone in oakland. this morning's vigil begins at 10 a.m. it will be at the ax full gospel church on 66th avenue in oakland. well the sonoma county district attorney is warning of a scam targeting costco members. >> now, here's a look at the fraudulent email claiming the customers membership has expired , and the email offers members an extension of their account for free. for 90 days, the da advises people to check with your local costco location for any questions about your

membership. costco says it never asks for credit card social security number, or other personal or financial information, often in unsolicited messages and emails. >> time now 616 an nba star who grew up in oakland was named the most valuable player of this year's record breaking nba all star game. last night, the eastern conference became the first team to score. believe it or not, more than 200 points in that game. in indianapolis, the final score 211 to 186. they didn't have much defense in that game. oakland native damian lillard of the milwaukee bucks was named the most valuable player. he scored 39 points and had 11 three pointers. i think in a game like this, you know it's going to be pretty loose and you're going to get your opportunities being in the starting lineup, i knew i played longer stretches, get more minutes and, um, i just told myself, i'm a i'm going to be aggressive and i'm going to keep

firing. >> i saw a couple go in and after that it was just like, i'm going after it. >> you don't want damian going after it. he shots damian lillard grew up in the east bay. he grew up cheering for the warriors. and by the way next year's nba all star game will be played right here in the bay area at chase center. >> a lot of exciting moments and one new event during all star weekend had a strong bay area connection. modern warriors superstar steph curry, the professional basketball's all time three point leader, sat thursday night. he competed against the bay area's own sabrina ionescu of the nba's new york liberty. now, both stars thrilled the crowd with their incredible three point shooting skills. look at that, unesco made 18 of 27 shots from the three point line, one that put the heat on curry, who made nine of his last ten shots to win the three point challenge. >> for us to deliver for, you know, a show like that. um it

was perfect. like, as much excitement that you can build in that short amount of time with, you know, two great shooters going at it. so a pretty, pretty special this will be something we'll remember for a long time. >> we all will. steph, sabrina ionescu, born in walnut creek, was a basketball star at miramonte high school in orinda. she is now one of the best players in the wnba game, recognized the game right? >> that is just great. phenomenal. you know james torres is a star soccer player. >> i do know he actually he played basketball at chase center too. >> i can shoot some three pointers. >> so i can i can make it work. >> all right i rest my case james david pam. >> good morning to you. here. we got a little bit of a mess on the roadways here. it's not actively raining right now, but we are certainly feeling those elements. roadways are still wet . there's still a lot of wind. wind advisories on pretty much each of our bay area bridges. so keep that in mind before you head out the door. be sure to give yourself plenty of extra time. uh, here's just an overview of kind of the bay area

here. not too much going on along the peninsula. a few little things here and there. but you see all those road closure signs all throughout the east bay? uh, that is a mixture of maybe just a little bit of flooding and that might kind of go away later. this afternoon. but i especially want to point your attention here. uh uh, near sunol. excuse me, that's niles canyon road, uh, pleasanton. sunol road as well, where you see the mix of colors leading up to that barricade. that's because part of the roadway has washed off. and that's according to caltrans this morning. and chp, who said about six feet of the roadway has washed off the entire westbound lane is open. eastbound lane is still shut down here, but they're eventually going to set it up where they have a kind of one way traffic going in both ways. so people can still commute in either direction, but it's certainly going to be pretty slow. san mateo bridge looking pretty good this morning. we did, uh, check on that report of a big rig hitting a pole on the eastbound side of the bay bridge, not getting too much information on that just yet,

but it's not affecting any traffic for you. if you're headed out the door in the next few minutes, all right. time now is 620. let's check in with rosemary oroczo on what our forecast looks like for the day. >> yes, james and i think the weather with the phrase what's up with this weather is going to be something we hear today because we're going to have a little bit of sunshine. we're going to have scattered showers, perhaps a brief downpour and the thunderstorm risk is with us for today. that, plus the possibility of rainbows. there's a look at san francisco still awaiting the sunrise will come in just after 7 a.m. this morning. and the rainfall amounts since this all began. ben loman really taking the prize so far? almost five inches reported there in the santa cruz mountains, mount diablo and the east bay reporting a two inches and 4/10. looks like i need to fix that. we got a decimal in front of the two mill valley, two inches point ray is a little bit more than two inches sfo, san jose, three quarters of an inch. some areas of oakland reporting about an inch. but oakland airport reporting a

little bit more than half inch. storm tracker two the center of the storm, right in here. it's going to take a couple of days before it finally moves east, and it does again. pack with it that unstable air right there closer to the surface. and with that and the rounds and rounds of rain coming in, this is what we can expect for today. here's a look at 8 a.m. scattered showers in addition to the reds out there indicating the risk of the thunderstorms, here's a look at 10 a.m. where we may see some along the peninsula, perhaps entering into the east bay through the delta region. now, with this type of pattern, it's really literally impossible to know exactly where it's going to hit. but the takeaway here is a little bit of sunshine scattered showers, risk of thunderstorms, and the wind that goes along with it. all in the forecast for today, there's a look at as we enter the evening hours. the afternoon drive, although hoping you don't have to have an afternoon drive. it looks mainly dry. we will have anywhere from

quarter inch to an inch and a half of rainfall expected for today. 2 to 6in of new snowfall in the sierra, where the winter storm warning continues there, and the winds notice as i move this into motion, the purples and the reds, especially along the coast, especially in our hills, going to be really breezy, but we all have the wind advisory and then it does begin to taper off a little bit later today. perhaps only to return for tomorrow. but we do expect that wind advisory to expire in the morning. here's a look at the extended forecast. our temps don't change as we get into the coming days. upper 40s to upper 50s, at least for the next couple of days. afternoon highs in the 60s. unsettled weather begins to taper off. we are dry for most of wednesday, thursday by friday night, introducing scattered showers and saturday right now looks a little bit iffy with scattered showers in the forecast. pam >> all right thanks, rosemary. new actions to help pay for college. the california bill that could soon streamline tuition waivers for some community college students and

off. they say expect a lot of delays over there. 634 let's go back to pam. >> all right. thank you. james well, a lot of people unhappy with charles barkley. boy, he once again took aim at san francisco, criticized the city on a national broadcast during last night's nba all star game. >> did he do that, pam? ktvu is alex words is in san francisco now. it's not the first time barkley has had some angry words about problems in san francisco. so good morning, alex. >> good morning dave. good morning pam. yeah it was a big weekend for the nba. the all star weekend. they called it because they had a couple of events on saturday as well as sunday. and there was an exchange. some are calling it a cheap shot on charles barkley's part. listen to this exchange with him and draymond green who tried to come to the defense of san francisco. now if you had a chance of being cold or being around a bunch of homeless crooks in san francisco, oh,

that's crazy. >> oh, no, you're not welcome. hey not letting you in. >> you're not welcome. hey, we love san francisco. no we don't. yes we do. you can't even walk around down there. you can't walk around. yeah, with a bulletproof badge. >> ouch. >> yeah. so that was the exchange. and we're hearing that . um, not a lot of people in san francisco or the bay area are happy with this exchange, and it's not the first time charles barkley has taken a shot at san francisco. now, in the next hour, we'll have coming up some reaction from folks. we've also put out a word, uh, uh, phone call to the mayor's office, as well as some other agencies in the city that have the responsibility of putting the city in a good light. we'll share those with you coming up in the next hour. for now, i'm live here in san francisco. alan schwartz, ktvu, fox two news. okay alex. >> thank you. time now. 636. well, early voting has started in south carolina's republican

primary election day for republican voters. is this saturday. and the latest polls show donald trump, with a lead of more than 30 points over former governor nikki haley in her home state. but nikki haley thinks a growing number of republican voters now believe trump should never be allowed to go back to the white house 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. >> now, nikki haley says trump has a long history of supporting the russian president. while harshly criticizing america's allies in europe. nikki haley is trump's only remaining opponent in the race for the republican nomination for president. time now. 637 a public hearing is scheduled for thursday day about the latest proposal to raise the tolls on the golden gate bridge.

now, the latest plan would raise the cost of crossing the golden gate bridge into the double digits. right now, there are three proposals on the on the table, all of them would lead to tolls that top $10 a vehicle for fastrak users. right now, drivers pay 8.75 to go across the golden gate bridge. the bridge district officials say a toll hike is needed to head off a projected $220 million budget deficit over the next five years. >> well, a new report shows the rate crimes are being solved in california has decreased as state and local law enforcement agencies have increased their spending. the center on juvenile and criminal justice says. in 1990, more than 22% of crimes were solved. it dropped to slightly more than 13% as of last year. now, the decrease comes as law enforcement received 52% more funding during that time. however, the researchers also say the total number of reported crimes has

also gone down by bad weather led to one person being injured early this morning after a eucalyptus tree fell on northbound highway 13. in that tree came down between redwood road and joaquin miller boulevard in oakland. it blocked the highway. a car ran into the tree. the driver was taken to the hospital after complaining about some pain. no one else was hurt. the car has been towed away. caltrans is still working though to remove that tree and there are some high surf advisories. in effect, you should know about along most of the california coastline here in the bay area, waves are expected to be as high as 20ft in some areas down in san diego county and orange county, the surface peaking at about 12ft. but there are warnings, warnings about rip currents, the advisory is expected to remain in effect from san diego, all the way up to marin county through tomorrow night. lifeguards are reminding people there are rules they should follow to stay. stay safe around the ocean.

>> number one, don't go out into the large waves if you are not experienced. um on any day you should swim in an area that's guarded by lifeguards. we don't see these waves very often here in san diego. most people don't have the opportunity to train for these waves. so we're saying people who are expert only most beach communities have extra lifeguards on patrol during the storms in southern california so that they can respond quickly to an emergency, even if you don't go into the water, you could see some erosion. >> so there could be slides along the beaches. so be aware of that as the storms and wet weather moves through the bay area, we're going to have expanded weather coverage on our fox local app, including live radar and live cameras across the bay area. just download that free fox local app for your smart tv to get updates from our meteorology artists around the clock. >> good advice time now 640 let's check the commute to see if we have one. i know it's been slippery out there on the roads.

james. yeah, you know, what's nice about today is today is presidents day. >> so it is a holiday for a lot of folks who are either not going to the office today because they have the day off, or it's just a day that they can work remotely. so green light conditions for pretty much the entire peninsula here, going from san francisco down to the south bay, that silicon valley commute very quiet, not too much going on here. it's the east bay that we're really seeing some more trouble spots. and we'll talk more about that coming up in just a few minutes. here, i'll show you a map, or rather a camera of the san mateo bridge. they've had a couple incidents this morning, but nothing that created too much of a backup here. we know the north bay is dealing with some little flooding trouble spots as well. we tend to see that after a weekend of rain, but nothing that's causing any major backup. we are keeping an eye on what's going on over in sunol and niles canyon road, where part of the roadway had washed off. i'll talk more about that coming up just before for the 7:00 hour. let's bring in rosemary orozco because she has a look at the forecast and the amount of rain we may see today.

>> yes. not only the rain, but the isolated thunderstorms. james, that could bring the brief downpour as well as the hail and thunder and lightning giving you a look here over san francisco, where we have slivers of blue sky and sunshine out there. the official sunrise coming just after 7 a.m. but but it is some of that sunshine today that could actually increase some of the instability. any warmth we get at the surface. just again, creates a little bit more when it that air mass collides with the colder air up above and the unsettled weather up above. here's a look at the temperatures this morning. in the 50s. we're warmer compared to yesterday, and we had a few viewers email in and areas over santa clara picking up 88/100 of an inch. there from mark in santa clara. thank you for that. and justin mount veeder in napa says more than five inches in the last 48 hours. santa cruz mountains also picking up more than five inches since the rain began on saturday. checking in on the winds, sfo reporting a

wind gust to 33. so you know, at some point could be impacting our flights out there today. mountain view 20mph, half moon bay reporting a wind gust to 36. even stronger at areas over mount diablo. the inner east bay, 49mph. um, speaking of mount veeder, there, 35mph. so even though the rain is not falling from the sky at this point, still could be very hazardous out there. as we've been talking about, a tree fell along highway 13 this morning. storm tracker two picking up on some rain now over areas of the north bay. it looks like a light showers from monte rio into windsor, santa rosa, rohnert park over our north bay hills along the coastline as well. and this is expected to, you know, grow a little bit more extensive as we get into the second part of the morning. the sierra is seeing snow this morning and the levels are above 5000ft. the winter storm warning continues for the sierra until wednesday morning. avalanche watch until 745. this morning. meanwhile, we will continue with just the

rounds of rain moving in over the next couple of days, and the futurecast model for today. there's a look at 8 a.m, primarily over the north bay, 10 a.m. we've now got shades of oranges and reds, indicating that risk of thunderstorms, as well as your lunch hour really favoring the north bay there and then into the afternoon, the afternoon commute. if you have one, doesn't look too bad, but into the evening hours looks like we may see another band of isolated thunderstorms roll through. so that's what we're seeing for today. it's not only for the north bay. it could be anywhere really. a better look at what we can expect as far as accumulation and the rest of the week coming up. >> all right, rosemary, thank you. time is now 644. the recent storms negatively affecting some tesla owners. we tell you about reports that some cyber trucks like that 1st may be rusting in. >> all right. let's check in with claudine wong for a look at the other stories we're following for you here on mornings on two. good morning. claudine >> good morning to you pam. good

it's really the east bay, including especially over in sonoma, where we know part of a roadway is now washed up. we'll talk more about that coming up in just a few minutes. let's talk weather now at 652 with rosemary oroczo. oh. whoo! this is really just the tip of the iceberg so far. rosemary >> yes. this is one of those days we call a mixed bag where we get a little bit of everything. and if you are going to be out and about for today, keep the rain gear handy. the rain gear may be a little bit better. the umbrella, because. because we do have wind that is coming along with us for today. and we know the wind could actually break the umbrella. flip it upside down. do all those kinds of things, giving you a live look here at a beautiful sky. in addition to the cloudy skies, we have a little bit of sunshine out there . it's that sunshine that only adds to the instability for today. temperatures this morning warmer than yesterday. we are in the 50s, but the wind has turned on once again, so it feels very brisk out there. and a look here at some of the rainfall amounts from the last 24 hours. mount diablo reporting a two inches 4/10 ben lowman in the santa

cruz mountains. almost five inches. we talked about at the top of the hour at mount veeder, coming in with just a little bit more than five inches, mill valley, point reyes, more than two inches at sfo, san jose, three quarters of an inch. the system will continue to provide us with the on and off rain for today and the isolate thunderstorms will be with us for today as well as tomorrow. as the center of the storm continues to work towards the california and finally moves out of the area. but some of the most unstable air lies within here. and again, we do have the risk of thunderstorms. that means we could see hail. that means we could see brief downpours, strong winds, thunder and lightning can be hazardous. so always take shelter. if you are close to a thunderstorm or experiencing one. the futurecast here into about midnight. anywhere from a quarter inch to an inch and a half of rainfall. especially if you do experience a thunderstorm. more snow for the sierra and the winds are going to remain with us with the wind advisory until early tomorrow morning. so wind gusts 30 to 40mph. we're seeing them
