and the treasure island administration building. as you can see in the pictures the rain is continuing to fall in the bay area and it is causing minor traffic problems. this oak tree came down in sonoma county partially blocking a road just east of windsor. no one was hurt but the soggy weather definitely contributed to bring down the tree. a driver lost control in the slick conditions as well. it happened on a rural winding road. we don't know how the driver is doing but the wet roads likely contributed to the accident. our meteorologist lawrence karnow is tracking the storm and says there is more to come. >> starting to see more rainfall moving in right now. look at high-def doppler radar. a lot of green beginning to show up outside. you can see it spreading across much of the north bay. pockets of moderate to heavy rain. there could be a couple, maybe three more to come.

firefighter a police officer stands by while olivero pulls out campaign signs. the firefighters claim he stole their signs. >> this is right where we pulled it out. his car was parked right here with his trunk up and that was chalked full of signs too. >> reporter: no on v campaign consultant gives his version of what happened next. >> i pulled up my car right along side of his. he was stuffing the sign in the back of his trunk. i rolled my window down and said, hey, what are you doing? he saw me. we know each other. he jumped into his car. sped out of that parking lot. >> reporter: he says firefighters and volunteers drove to his home and waited for him. when he arrived and saw the firefighters he took off.

>> he broke every law. >> did you break it trying to catch him? >> one car lost him. another car was able to keep up with him. he literally closed the door, locked it and ran away. >> reporter: but the council member tells a different story. >> well, the municipal code, 23.2.880 allows for the city and/or volunteers to remove them from public property. >> reporter: he said he was doing his civic duty. >> their signs are littered along san jose. they shouldn't be there. >> reporter: he still has another sign in his trunk for a congressional race he also claims was illegally placed. don knapp, cbs5. >> you probably can tell then. 10 days to election day and candidates are campaigning nonstop. working the phones in san jose asking voters to help her

drilling. boxer says californians support her decade of fighting for the environment and economy and dismissed the possibility that voter anger against democrats is chipping away at her lead in the polls. >> what should i know about the vietnamese community that i don't know? tell me what i need to be aware of. meg whitman took her campaign to asian american vote, today. the candidate visited vietnamese restaurants in san jose this morning and korea town in los angeles. the polls show the former ebay executive slipping further behind her democratic challenger jerry brown. brown took the day off from campaigning and had no public events scheduled. union workers join the call for justice. why they say the case of oscar grant touches home for them. california's jobless numbers still stuck at 12.4%. the one region of the bay area that is bucking the trend.

valley is showing signs of a rebound. after 23 straight months of declines the air posted its first year-over-year job gain. now, that's according to a new report from the california employment development department much the report says the san jose, sunnyvale are recovering faster. the economists predict the growth there will spread to neighbouring counties. a 25 million community center is now open in san jose despite money crunching. they celebrated the facilities grand opening today boasting a ballroom, game room and gym. eventually there will be a library too. city workers past and present have been working hard to get the center built despite the tough economy. >> it is a great day. it is a great day. i have been retired a year and a half and this is just absolutely fabulous. you know. the community has waited a long

time for this grand facility. >> voters approved the 38,000 square foot community center a decade ago. that was of course before the recession hit. lawrence is joining us now. i know we are talking about the rain. but what's the forecast for wednesday and thursday? >> wednesday is looking good. thursday may get a little iffy in the afternoon. we have got a storm that's brewing but nothing like we are seeing out there around the bay area. pretty wet out there on the roadways and, folks, we have got a pretty good storm system that is starting to brew off the coastline. things will be picking up. some very strong gusty winds around the bay area as well. still, it looks like rainfall amounts impressive especially in parts of the north bay. we are looking at maybe 2 to 3 inches of rain and that should be showing up in much of the north bay as we are expecting those heavy rains. about an inch to inch and a

half in the east bay. 1 to 2 inches along the peninsula. santa cruz mountains an inch to inch and a half. we have got that system off the coastline. this is really the main event that will start to slide in in our direction overnight tonight. expect rain and wind. very strong gusty winds especially out toward the coastline and heavy rain sliding south throughout the day tomorrow. timing. showers showing up tonight and on and off throughout the night. main event waiting until tomorrow morning and that's when things will begin to pick up here. will see some very heavy rainfall developing in parts of the north bay. watch out for puddling on the roadway. localized flooding. been fairly dry. so the ground able to absorb a lot of the moisture. as the system rolls on by it will continue to sag to the south. the heaviest amounts of rain will be found north of the golden gate. impressive all around the bay area. temperatures in the 50s and 60s. good day to take in a show, maybe just stay inside tomorrow as we will see a lot of rain

around the bay area. dangerous out on the roadways. i think by monday partly cloudy skies. tuesday. as we get into wednesday, we have a baseball game that day. big baseball game. world series. looking sunny and bright. very nice weather for the game. thursday again could be iffy. looking like a storm system could move in late in the day. doesn't look like it will cancel anything as of right now but it bears watching. >> i hate complaining about rain because we always need it but not wednesday or thursday. >> i will see what i can do. celine dion delivers in a big way. the new addition to her family. that's next. twin
