a chance to live longer. news at six. flooding strong

winds, thunderstorms and downed trees. >> more rain takes a toll on parts of the bay area tonight. tens of thousands of customers are without power and part of highway 84 in the east bay will be closed now for several days. hello again everyone. i'm julie julie haener and i'm mike mibach. >> the rain has been really rolling in and out in many places throughout the day. this is a look at the financial district in san francisco from this afternoon. of the people who were out there on the streets, you could see they had their umbrellas out. we also saw standing water out there on some city streets in the north bay. >> the area around star road and mark west station in windsor was flooded this morning after a nearby creek overflowed into the roadway. this is one of several road closures throughout sonoma county today due to flooding. officials have been keeping an eye on creeks, streams and rivers and have crews on standby if needed. >> and the storm also being felt here in the south bay this afternoon, the winds were blowing out at lexington reservoir, right near los gatos,

a wild weather day. >> let's bring in our chief meteorologist, bill martin. so we're going to expect more rain off and on again tonight. yeah, tonight and probably again tomorrow, but not as intense as the winds were blowing this morning. >> it started off. it's like oh the sun's out. it's kind of nice. and then the winds came up and it was really windy for a while. and then those cells kind of came in and got us a bunch of rain. check out some of these rainfall accumulation patterns over the last couple of days. pretty significant. manageable though. fortunately the entire bay area under a flood watch, a flood advisory, which is a click up from that in the north bay, up around napa, sonoma and marin counties and the rest of us, a flood watch, a wind advisory as well. winter storm warning and high surf advisory, all part of the mix as we go into today and even in a bit into tomorrow. so here is the live radar. and i just show it to you now because you can see kind of what's happening and what's happening is out here towards antioch, discovery bay, rio vista. that is some pretty active, a lot of times we have, we have, um, uh, windmills out there. and so a lot of times we get in, this

might be some interference out here by rio vista. i think those are windmills. but this is not. and so what we're seeing are some pretty heavy rainfall rates. that's not the only area, but that's one of the areas we've got more activity showing up on the bay bridge richmond or the san mateo bridge, and then down towards san jose and in the santa cruz mountains. so it's just widely scattered stuff. tomorrow so the same thing happens, right? where we have a potential for a thunderstorm. but it doesn't have as much. there's not as much fuel, there's not as much or stronger dynamics. and so we're not expecting the bumper day that we had today because that's pretty pretty wild. i mean, we had thunder and lightning. we had a tornado report up around butte county. we had probably multiple funnel clouds. i haven't seen them come in yet, but i would be surprised if they start kind of coming in the next couple of hours. and then we've got winter storm warnings where the chains on 50 and 80 are coming up and down like nobody's business. they're getting a lot a lot of snow. and the thing about that is we're going to die down tomorrow. but they in the mountains are going to keep

going. the snow is going to keep falling as the clouds and the energy piles up against the west slope. so this isn't going to be over around lake tahoe. that winter storm warning stays in effect pretty much through wednesday. i'll be back here with a full forecast in just a few minutes. all right, bill, thank you. >> in the north bay emergency officials are putting out a warning asking people to stay safe at home and let the storms pass. authorities are prepared for thunderstorms, high winds, heavy rain and flooding over the next few days. the santa rosa fire department says its swiftwater rescue team is staffed and ready to respond to emergencies on the city's waterways and in neighboring jurisdictions if needed. another big concern is downed trees. >> the ground saturation with the last couple systems that have come through has been pretty significant, and with that wind, there's still some damage and or trees ready to come down in some of those areas. so just urging the residents to be aware of that. >> strong winds brought down this large tree yesterday in sebastopol, narrowly missing a home. the storm also knocked out power for some customers and flooded several north bay roadways in the east bay. >> emergency work underway along

niles canyon road, which is now closed for at least the next few days. the heavy rains have caused serious damage to a stretch of that highway. ktvu tom vacar shows us now the work that is facing caltrans crews. >> tis the season for potholes, but worse, it's also the season for the collapse of roads into creeks. well let the storm go through and then in the morning, our engineers and maintenance team will take a look at the condition of the road. >> if it's okay, we'll get it back open in the one way direction, and then we're going to have to assess what we need to do in order to rebuild that section. when the retaining wall collapsed, probably due to the rushing water, the land collapsed and then the highway went with the land. >> now, as long as water keeps falling on this area, it is simply not going to get any better. and at least one lane, if not all the lanes will be closed until it's repaired. that becomes a problem for the 15,000 automobiles that use this road each day as well as for the other roads, they'll have to switch to, which will make those

other commute routes more crowded, especially at rush hours. >> this time, it's usually just going to get to the other side of the hill. um, but but in the mornings is going to be. and in the afternoon it will be for sure an inconvenience. >> i appreciate them not jamming up traffic. that's always nice, but it sounds like they have a lot of work to do on this stretch. good for them for keeping it open as much as they can. >> i think it's helpful for us who are trying to commute back and forth. >> caltrans does what they can. um, we need more funding for our roads for sure. >> if the coming storms take out more of this section or other sections, that may drastically change the situation on this road. tom baker, ktvu, fox two news and for more insight on what may have led to that portion of 84 to give way earlier today on the four, we spoke with laura sullivan green. >> she's a professor of civil and environmental engineering at san jose state. >> what happened in niles canyon is largely due to erosion from the soil underneath the roadway, and then the roadway collapsing,

and that erosion is just caused from alameda creek that has been running high from all the precipitation that we've had and will probably continue to run high, uh, until we see some more dry weather. >> professor sullivan green also says the amount of rain and the intensity of the storm also plays a factor. and a quick reminder right now that you can always stay ahead of the storm with the ktvu weather app. it has current conditions, a live interactive radar and it breaks down the forecast hour by hour. and it is a free download. >> pro-palestinian activists are making their voices heard in san francisco. a demonstration briefly blocked traffic on the central freeway in the city. the protesters are trying to use the president's day holiday to pressure president biden to call for a ceasefire in gaza. ktvu christien kafton reports. >> hundreds of protesters marched through the streets of san francisco, chanting and calling for an end to the violence in gaza. one warning

which has tipped into a flood advisory, which is up from that flood watch, which means they're actually having issues with with street flooding, whatever. in marin county, napa and sonoma. so so and that could happen again tonight because when you have the flood, watch out, which is out through wednesday, you get a bunch of rain like we've been getting with high rainfall rates. and all of a sudden santa clara could pop one for a couple of hours. they usually they usually last a couple of hours. this one tonight lasts for until the evening late evening, but either way, you got a winter storm warning in the mountains and the rain is coming down. still with rainfall accumulations have been pretty gnificant. these are the last 24 hours and over two and a half, or nearly 2.5in in the santa cruz mountains, orinda, coming in about an inch and a half, danville about an inch and a quarter. so these are really healthy rainfall amounts and in many cases, more rain than we got yesterday during the main system. in terms of some of these totals. right. some of the totals are almost at least 50% more than what we saw yesterday in many cases. so the radar spinning, going live. so you're

looking at what's happening now. and you can see sort of the widely scattered energy south by antioch up in the foothills, up around donner. and on the way up the west slope of the sierra nevada. and then in out by clear lake. these are all areas. and it's what you've been experiencing all day. when you drive in around, you can almost picture yourself driving around and all of a sudden you just drive into oakland and it's wet, and then you drive out of oakland and it's not wet, and you drive into livermore and it's wet, and you drive out towards the tracy area and it's not. so that's kind of how this all goes. and it's going to continue this way tonight and into tomorrow, but with less instability will still be there, but with less fuel for this to occur. so in other words, i think tomorrow's going to be harder to get a bunch of rain. i think tomorrow if you get under one, it'll be wet. but i don't know how widespread and the aerial distribution of the showers will be should be less. tomorrow should be a drier day over all, even though you're going to need umbrellas and you're going to have to think about it when you're driving around. when i come back, we'll look at the models. we'll do all

out, just trying to figure out what salesforce has got going up top here. i was watching this earlier and kind of a cool design. it's fun to watch what they do up there and it's a nice night outside. the roads are relatively dry. there are scattered showers out there, but it's not as bad as it was. for instance last night. at times, the scattered showers continue, the thunderstorms are dying down in the central valley. we had a couple thunderstorms around here. they are dying down. we do have one here. let's see which way. that's moving. see that white stroke? so that's moving in towards just north of santa rosa. so that's just north. that's more like jenner perhaps, maybe even kind of moving up towards sea ranch. and then that's about it. except for up by cameron park. so this is really, really unstable air. and that's why we had issues today with with the flooding. we had a flood watch for everybody as you know. and then that turned into a flood advisory. when those rains started. and that's what the flood watch is there for is to cue you into okay, a little bit of rain and we're going to have issues. and there were issues and the flood advisory

remains in effect for marin sonoma. and napa counties. and as we mentioned, there's snow. it's snowing up in the mountains. 2 to 4ft above 7000ft is certainly a possibility by wednesday. and this type of storm, this type of weather system is really conducive to snow production because even though we're seeing these things going through in waves, speaking of waves, as we were seeing these, these storms go through in waves, they're piling up. and so they're going to sit up there on that west slope most of the night and just dump snow. so as julie mentioned, another foot of snow overnight is not out of the question. and maybe two feet as we get into tomorrow afternoon as there's more, maybe more than that, quite frankly, in the high surf continues. it's very, very big and that lasts through tomorrow morning. makes sense. it's going to drop pretty quickly, but it's big. and so just be safe. going out to the coast. the computer model does this for tomorrow morning kind of right. so you got to keep scattered showers in. and then this area kind of goes through in the evening. so tomorrow is not as active as it was today, but still the potential for activity can persist or or exists. and then we get into 8

a.m. wednesday that looks like a shower, but then it's kind of gone quickly. so it's going to evolve. and then look at the fog. that's interesting how the fog builds in when that's high pressure. and there's some out here, but it looks like it's going to be a cut off low, which has the potential to just drift south and be very difficult to forecast. you're going to see that depicted in the five day as as a chance. so there's friday. that's this cut off. so here we are here tomorrow. no umbrellas handy chance on wednesday thursday is your day friday saturday and sunday in question right now. not a big storm, but the potential for wet does exist on all three days. that's going to change. just be patient. maybe even by tonight at ten, we'll have some new numbers. i'll see you back here. >> all right. bill. thank you. pablo sandoval returns to the giants for spring training. manager bob melvin gives his thoughts on pandas influence and mindset as he attempts a major league comeback. coming up next in sports ♪

bay and joked 66 running of the great american race only five laps in when john hunter nemechek in the white and green car makes contact with harrison burton, a 21 car carson joseph barr gets caught in slides along with burton back onto the track. and look, it's even a bigger pile up. and that was just the beginning. nine laps to go, ross chastain leading. brad keselowski gets turned by william byron. it starts a chain reaction of collisions. 18 cars and all involved in the pile. up and out comes the red flag. no major injuries reported closing in on the final lap. austin cindric goes into chastain, who spins off the track and after checking out the video, william byron was determined to be leading. he took the lead with four laps to go on a restart, and byron takes the checkered flag under caution. the 26 year

old wins his first daytona 500, and the hendrick motorsports 24 car back in victory lane. it's the ninth day tona 500 win for hendrick and first since dale earnhardt won it in 2014. been the panda is officially back with the giants, at least for spring training. pablo sandoval arrived at the giants facility in scottsdale, arizona, this morning. he was all smiles and reportedly in great shape to the 37 year old. he last played in the majors in 2021. he spent the last two seasons playing in mexico, puerto rico and dubai, so he's a long shot to make the team, to be sure, but he's made clear that he wants to compete for a roster spot. sandoval he played 11 seasons and all with the giants. he was named world series mvp in 2012 for the second of their three championships. >> he's got an infectious personality. um, he's perienced he's motivated and i think

there's a lot that can rub off to some of our younger guys, too. so so, you know, he doesn't want to hear anything about what his chances are. he's going to go out there and he's going to play, and he's going to try to force our hand. >> the sharks hosted the defending champion vegas golden knights in a presidents day matinee matchup in san jose. and yeah, when younger brother has had enough pestering, just says a knock it off, knock it off the game. the game barely underway when michael amadio gets free on the breakaway, rips one past mackenzie blackwood and it's one nothing. vegas still in the first. mason morelli making his nhl debut after six years in the minors, scores his first nhl goal from right out in front. special moment for the 28 year old, but not for the sharks. and they lost their, uh, fourth time in five games final. their four nothing. the minnesota wild went on a scoring flurry. not seen in

the nhl in a quarter of a century. they were down five two to the vancouver canucks. the wild scored one goal to end the second, and then went a rapid fire to start the third. they scored four goals in two minutes and seven 18 seconds, and a couple more a few minutes after that, so six goals in less than six minutes. nobody's done that since the washington capitals in 1999, and minnesota won the game 10 to 7. yeah today's nba all star game got mixed reviews. perhaps even more entertaining, though, than the game itself was. the announcing with charles barkley and draymond green going back and forth a little bit. you have a player. >> good luck in the play in. don't let him do you. >> he's a hater my friend like that. >> that is crazy right now. >> you are not acting like that. >> here chuck take my ring. >> yeah. draymond's draymond's got the last word right. he's got four rings. charles barkley, of course, has no ring. so

that's how you semi shut him up. i guess uconn women's basketball coach geno auriemma. now now has the second most wins in college basketball history led by paige bueckers. the huskies. they blew past creighton today. and what was win number 1203 for auriemma. that's one more than former duke coach mike krzyzewski six fewer than stanford's tara vanderveer who last month. we all remember became college basketball's winningest all time coach. so geno auriemma is six behind her. if she you know, they're going to go back and forth. yeah march democrats agree. conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong for california. but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey.
