>> good morning, everyone. i'm carolyn tyler. thanks for joining us. let's start with a quick first look at the weather with our meteorologist lisa argen. >> good morning to you. have a little light rain shower happening in the city. the rain will continue to sink south and east, but live doppler 7hd right now does show the heaviest up in the north bay. marin county, and also offshore. the extreme areas of that seen upwards of 3 to 5 inches, sonoma, napa, you are getting a bit of a break. oakland, hayward, the san ramon valley, finally some rain getting out toward your way. but unfortunately it's been pretty dry out toward dublin and even in the south bay.

but you, too, are going to see rain by the afternoon. it will take you through the evening hours. we are still going to see the snow in the sierra nevada. right now it's raining at lake level. there's a winter storm warning above 7,000 feet. back home with the flash flood watch until 3:00. the north bay has the highest risk of seeing some flooding. street flooding medium. winds are kicking up to 20 to 30 miles an hour. raining, mid-and upper 50s, possibly flooding mainly in the north bay and we are going to spread the rain east and south. i've been getting a lot of tweets about people being disappointed they haven't seen much rain but more is coming. we will time it out for you in a now minutes. >> just hang on there, thank you, lisa. well, sonoma county has been bearing the brunt of a storm. the flash flood warning remains in effect there. >> nick smith joins us live from sonoma county. nick, what are you seeing? >> carolyn, you know i ended my night here last night and i'm back here again this morning.

what i'm seeing is a continuation of what we found yesterday. rain that continues to come down, intersections that continue to be flooded by water run-off from the creek. take a look here. we are at the intersection of roots 12 and 121 and this is what we found. a complete wash-out. we've also found that example transfor their part has been here trying to figure out exactly what they can do to unclog drains or keep road closers in place for drivers' safety. the rain came down heaviest in the north bay. one of the areas hardest hit, sonoma county. it's been good for the drought they have seen. more than half a foot of rain came down yesterday, but the problem with so much written so fast, flooding. there is still flooding of low-lying roadways and forced road closers. the rainfall overall had been a welcome reminder of the winters past and rising hopes of farmers in the area. according to the national

drought situation. i will spend the day going up and down sonoma county trying to find areas of that either been a victim of some type of storm damage and run up and talk to people to see how they are feeling about the rainfall and what they hope actually happens. i'll have another live report today at five and six. carolyn, you won't be here but i will be out here and anybody watching, if you have pictures or anything you can tweet me or send to the station, we would love to see them. >> we will be watching. thank you very much, nick. >> well, the written and wind are again causing some delays for flights in and out of the bay area. sfo experiencing delays averaging about 2 1/2 hours due to the weather and the wind. at least 43 flights there are cancelled. most of them were supposed to be incoming flights. there are no significant delays reported at the airports in oakland or san jose.
