sunday morning. another round of storms is dumping the bay area. this is a good morning we are waking up to another super soaked sunday morning depending on where you are in the a live look from our san francisco's camera you can see visible is not goo od there as the rain continues to fall. >> the north bay is especially getting hit hard. steady rain causing street floodings in some areas and there is even the threat of rock slide. >> we have team coverage on the storm, thanks for joining us by the way. >> we have you covered this morning, let's get right to weather. >> thank you, we start out this

morning with the rain spreading down to heyward and south of that. later in the day everybody is going to get wet. winds are picking up to the southwest about 20 miles per hour. let's take a look at the doppler, you can see what looks like scattered rain, some places it is coming down pretty good and it will continue to come down later in the day and you can see another band of moistures right now and even in the east bay it is beginning to spread south. we'll all get wet especially late new afternoon. this stream is moistures it is been steady. today a cold front will push all that moistures south. that'll you can see this morning there is not much happening down this there. that'll change by mid afternoon. expect things to be windy and rainy today. we have flash

flood watches meanwhile. north bay additional 1-2 inches of rain and possible flash floodings and the total of this has been epic. ken is in marin county and it is perfectly situated as it is always is for southwesterly rain. it has really dumped on them, 3 quarter of rain. san francisco almost 2 inches and in san jose not impressive, they have not gotten much in the last two days at all. we'll have the complete forecast for you in just a few minutes. first, let's round up what's happening out there. >> mark kelly checking out some of the problems spot. mark. >> reporter: so we are here at 12 and 121 of the central expressway of those two roads. it is gotten a lot deeper

since we have been here, it is covering my foot and i am not all the way in it. we have got this is the shelf fire station along 12. good amount of water there and it continues to piling up. they have half an inch of humane over night. we are seeing low creek and water way just flooding. so for some folks living their these areas, it is becoming too much to bare. >> this is running 3 feet from the dirt ends and that's our bac. >> if you can see the water there then it is time to genthner serious. genthner serious. so if you are in that neck of the woods that road is not supposed to

open until noon today. the national weather service expects to list this flood watch for this county around 3:00 this around. now, we are going to to it over to roberta, she's in marin county, how is it looking over there? >> reporter: it is currently raining sideways. the wind is increasing at 17 miles per hour. we just got to get rid of this umbrella. the fog it settling in as well. take a look at what we saw a few minutes ago. this is very important because it is a great indication that the ground is now saturated right here. we have seen over a foot of rain since friday alone and heavier rain is in the forecast. we are seeing at least of 5 inches of rain expected in the north bay mountain between now and tonight. now, right now

you can clearly see that we are already seeing the accumulations right here in the north bay. that's why the ground is saturated so we are anticipating the possibility of more mud slides and more rain also down trees and also the possibility of down power lines. we do have more rain in the forecast here and with the lowering ceiling you can imagine that we have delays at the local airport. repo marin, kpix. >> that one came crashing down in sacramento and it did you can see there crushing the backseat and trunk of that car. if you are heading to the airport this morning, it is a good idea to call ahead. the sfo delayed program is in effect.

>> you can see all the update any time on your smart p to view the doppler. rain water is get ng the structure underneath the road way along the new eastern span. that can cause corrosion laeging the bridge. some water is going to get in. >> we got a little trouble for the governor and the lieutenant governor as well being caught up in the investigation. >> they're receiving improper donation from the sacramento lobby. jerry and gabby are expected to get warning letters and accused of not disclosing costs. >> we sat down with political

willy brown. and talk to them about these rules of what you cannot take and what you have to report. how complicated are they and how much power did these lobbyists actually have. >> you know the position where you cannot accept of water if it is ex tenned to you and connected with the legislature. it is completely unrealistic and it is impossible frankly to be strictly obedient there to. you can have the best intentions and your conduct can be misintrepted. misinterpreted. >> they have a lot of influence because they have the dough. >> now it is interesting to know, last year lobbyists spent $177 million on record convincing lawmakers from the governors on down to going their way and that includes people in

unions and environmentalists. >> that's so much money. >> wait, wait, well, that's before they go into the political contribution that they make into the campaign and the ballot measures. >> that's all when expense closed -- it is not quite disclosed yet. same-sex marriage eric holder -- to the justice department. holder announced that same-sex spoupss cannot be compel to testify against each other and they're eligible to file bankruptcy together and has the same rights. in another area a new bill is about to go before the state senate mandating a kill switch of all new cell phones. >> the purpose is to detour cell phone theft and accounting for half of robberies in san francisco.

the bill requires any smart device to including something to render it possi now, it can be weird if they pass it. all of sudden we need a california's only cell phone one that has specific requirements to sold here. that can probably up the price of cell phones. well, he said there is a similar bill right now in new york and that you know as both of these markets jumping on board, it will move nationwide. >> it might results in cell phones costing more. if you add in a feature like that it is going to cost more, the question is is it less than what you pay when your cell phones get stolen. on that note, i believe cell phone companies making about $80 billion a year in sales and some of the sales are people that have lost and have their phones stolen. >> and insurance. >> there is a real questions

among lawmakers of what the carrier mode on this. coming up it has been 50 years of the u.s. debut, next, we walk down this memory lane of this hard core bay area fan. team u.s.a. eyeing another gold medal in sochi, the results are in, we have a spoiler alert after the break. team u.s.a. eyeing another gold medal in sochi, the results are in, we have a spoiler alert after the break. ,,,,,,,,

[ cheering ] >> a glow that ignited the night of 74 million people in america got their first taste of the beetles. >> i admit, i got hooked too.

welcome back i am mark kelly live, here we are at the

intersection at 12 and 121 in the shell vista area, fire station, and the water we have been here for the last hour and a half it is coming up. and it is coming up fast, we had to move our live truck a oum cough time. couple of time. they had a flood watch and you can tell it is coming down a little bit. they could be getting 2-4 inches of rain. in the mountains you can even see 5 inches. by 3:00 in the afternoon, the we national service hoping to lift that watch. tug of war in the state of history. >> even the president is getting involved. we sat down with our political insiders and asking why can we come up with a solution. >> there is going to be bond

measures on the ballot and meanwhile back in washington, the republicans are sort of throwing oil on the fire with legislation that's going to be over turned. >> this is a serious situation. >> this problem in the state through droughts and wet years and it is never been resolved? why? >> it will never be resolved because it is an ongoing asset that must be shared by everybody that tends to exist in the state and for the blood of the state, it is in fact the mother's milk of politics as they say. >> it is more than just sharing. we have the water and the environmental issue but that's sharing. >> you got to share it with the fish and the farmers. we are the number 1 full produced state in the country. you cannot produce food without water. >> period.

>> is that the reason that we don't have a resolution of this because the governor and the senators have yet to come up with a plan. they criticize everything that comes up. >> but, there is no resolution to it on a permanent basis, it is a process that keeps evolving and every time you create a new city or a new neighborhood you got to understand, you need water to make that neighborhood work. >> why are politicians, they don't want to talk about it in election year or non election year. >> it is difficult and it is expensive and they get distracted. >> and they need help from the climate itself. just like we have been talking about the drought in california and we all know wondering how the rain is suddenly coming. period and that helps us. there is not enough snow. the rain comes it puts off the debate. >> no, it literally fuels the opportunity to keep growing and

managing, it does not put off the debates. the debates still there because you cannot make rain. >> but you can pray for it and hope for it and fight for it when it gets over the ground. >> all right, we'll continue to follow that, it is going to be interesting how this rain plays apart and it will ease the whole water war back. >> we'll be talking with an expert coming up so stay tuned. >> we'll be right back.

welcome back to kpix 5 this morning, this time is 8:59. >> good morning, we have a lot to talk about the next half hour, the top story is the rain showers picking up over night and dumping buck in some parts of the bay area. you can see there and the sierra in the mean mime welcoming fresh snow. let's see what we are expecting this afternoon. >> the streams of rain that began on thursday just continued to pour over the north bay and at the same time over in san jose only 100th inch of rain. you can see heavy cells coming in and just the baems getting ready to coming through the solano and the golden gate bridge. the rain is going to enhance for

everybody and you can see offshore from san franci pretty good cell. heyward fall is not so much. but, that'll change because this front is finally pressing out and changeing pattern. we are picking up the sdwindz wind and we'll pick up the rain. the peak time for this is 1-4:00 as we are pressing south. the rain up north has been impressive. thursday, in marin county , more than 9 inches of rain and san jose about 3 quarters of an inch, that's since thursday. you will take a left on 121 and as you get to 121 and highway 12, major intersection. at that important interception,

mark kelly has been standing by of what we are now calling it a lake. >> reporter: i like that nickname. let me show you the water has been rise ing for the last hour and a half. you can see they have closed out this road at route 12 and 121 in to seminole. here is video of yesterday and last night they had a bad mud slide there and the road went down a hill and into a truck. just last night the national weather services saying that we are seeing here half inch of rain an hour. and it could get even worse today. we could see additional 2-4 inches. let me show you let's just pan over here showing you in front of the shell vista fire station, it is moving faster and faster.

in fact, we moved our truck a couple of time, we might have to move it one more time, the waters creeping up and closer and closer. right now, this county is under a flood watch and the national weather service is expecting to lift that. live in seminole county, mark kelly. you can see alpine lake collecting floods. usually the spill office about 52 inches a year but coming in to this weekend only 5 inches accumulated. in sierra the latest storm has dropped a foot of snow and more snow is expected today. reporter ken is in the thick of the snow. >> reporter: thing haves things have been changing over the

hours. you can see snow coming down and that's what they have been having the past 24-48 hours here. the folks here are excited because it gives them fresh powder to start for the weekend. unfortunately, what's happening in the past hour and a half is all that snow has now turned to rain and now we are getting rain at this high elevation which means it is going to melt. some of the snow they waited so long to get over the past months. it is going to keep some of it here quite a bit. that's a concern if this rain continue and this higher elevation is going to melt a lot of the snow they sat here and waited for and finally got this past weekend. for now, it is as usual the employees are arriving and it is snowing and tubing and skiing and snow boarding is arriving soon and they're taking advantage of this fresh powder. reporting live,

information that we have, nothing suggests at this time that it is related to terrorism. sources telling us the no terror theory that based on the idea that no one has taken credit for the attack nor it has been much chatter on the internet. if it was a practice run perhaps the group would just staying silent. >> if it is an organized attack throughout the country on the station it could black out the entire country. >> we have those hype wired lines that you see up and down on state 5. >> it does reach some sort of practice attack which is freaky. >> it is and that's why i think it is getting a lot of attention this week. california will soon have the highest increase minimum $9.

degrees and winds are persistent out of the southeast. winds are gusting at 25. we do have more rain coming, this is one local resident has to say. >> we get the flood every time it floods and when the creek backs up, we have to figure it out. >> it is not that high yet. >> it is getting there. it is the same as it was last year when the warning went off >> the but, i would not be surprised if that's up grated to the warning due to the fact that we had up to 5 inches of rain. to tell us more about the local weather and forecast including the conditions right now that's settling in the area, brian and the very dry weather studio. >> you know early today the assignment is a good reporter is a wet reporter and you qualify for it.

at showers and even for the south bay, look at the differences in rain. 900 times more rain than san jose in the past 24 hours. san jose 100th of an inch, that'll change. it is finally going to head south so this gets pushed south and the cold front is going to drive the moistures finally down to san mateo and down the santa clara and santa cruz county. it is not going going to be significant in san jose, it will be a third and a half inch there. so rain heavy at time and the winds picking up too out of the southwest about 25 miles per hour. it is a warm storm. wind gusts there 35 miles an hour at the ridge tops there can be gust in the northern sierra at 70 miles per hour. what happens next?

watch this band of rain sweeping through the area. and then we go showery behind the cold front but the next few hours the rain will pick up and so are the winds. by tomorrow morning we'll have scattered clouds and we are going to get suns tomorrow and the hills will finally turning green. 1 and a half inches up in santa rosa and by the time it is done you will see it is projecting 700th of an inch in san jose. that's over the next 24 hours, rain totals and temperatures there, 50s for the most part and tomorrow we clear it out and wednesday and thursday, we get some rain possible in the north bay and then towards the end of the week we'll just keep it partly cloudy going into next weekend and we finally begin to push the storm's door opened two weeks ago and this is the result that we finally got. >> it is really good news a

the biggest water project in the state of california. >> that looks for a lot of confusion going on and we often hear fishes verses farmers, how real is that fight? >> that's a real fight, there is fish in the river and the salmon runs have been either threatened or endangerered and how much water you let in and how much water do the farmers get to use and it goes on and on. and pumping water in the delta it is the fishes verses farmers. >> that's true >> [ laughter ] >> we got republicans and democrats fighting and we got north and south pulling at each other and we got farmers verses fishes and we got fish verses fish. >> people love to fish for -- but, they eat salmons. >> in your years trying to manage these various interests have you gotten the feeling that we

are closer to some sort of agreement on that or is this just continuing to fight as we heard the last couple months. >> well, there is always hope we are seeing of the same source of water that we are having in the past and we are talking about how we come to some sort of agreements. we are in the same place in 1980s and hopefully we'll come to some sort of agreement in 2015. >> or we are muddling along and fighting when there is no water and when there is water, we'll talk about it. >> that's correct. >> all right, thanks for joining and something changed and some things don't. >> all right, back to you. >> and we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,
