temperatures in the mid-40s right now and heavy rain blue canyon. we are looking at flood stage about 4.5 feet. it should crest to 5.9 feet tonight and then begin to reseed. on tuesday we are looking at a cold system that could bring over a foot of snow to the northern syria. that's good news. even though we don't want rain now. we will take any sort of moisture we can get in the mountains. in the meantime minor flooding around alpine meadows and truckee throughout the afternoon and by later on tonight things will get much calmer there. here's a look at the beach. soggy in santa cruz. 60 san jose. 67 at the coast with the fog. this is where you are going to get the heaviest rain, 62 mountain view. and sfo1 hour and 10 minute delays. 58 santa rosa, 59 napa and livermore. the first half of the day will be very wet for some of you but the second hatch of the day it's going to take some time to clear

up around parts of the eve bay and south bay. rain increasing for everyone this morning. showers taper off for you in the north bay this afternoon. and they become more scattered elsewhere. sunny and cool tomorrow. we are looking at the hour by hour forecast here which shows the front still hung up in the north bay through about 8:00. then by 9:00, 10:00, it pushes through the heart of the bay area. 11:00, you are getting downpours over in oakland into livermore and almeda. then on the peninsula throughout the afternoon, if you are headed to stanford shopping mall, it's going to be pretty soggy and in the south bay it becomes scattered throughout the 4:00 hour. but by dinnertime we are high and dry. it gets cooler tonight as the dryer air mass moves on through. so rainfall amounts through tonight anywhere from about a third to a half-inch in our valleys with perhaps a half-inch on the peninsula. san francisco, you are already at about 150% of normal. so add another .4 to that and

looking at nearly 12 inches of rain since october up in santa rosa. you will have an additional inch or maybe inch and a quarter today. so highs today in the low 60s oust ahead of the system. the system pushes through and it's cooler tonight. a 2 on the storm impact scale. the accuweather forecast, increasing clouds monday and soggy day on tuesday and wednesday. it's colder. this bring snow to the sierra on thursday and more rain on friday. our app is handy to have. it's nice that you tuned in and still have us to help you out. but downloading that you get the push alerts that can help you out throughout the day. >> absolutely and it's nice to see the warmer temperatures come back compared to a few days ago. >> i know. >> go ahead. >> i need to switch it up a bit. >> and tomorrow a chance to dry out. thanks so muc

warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto.

there's more to know. xarelto. good morning, america. new overnight, election interference, the new report saying russia intervened in the presidential election. did russian hacking help donald trump win? his transition team responding this morning. winter whiteout. two feet in spots so far. driving treacherous. cars sliding off the highway. others buried and abandoned. >> man, it's crazy. >> plus, brutal windchills making things even worse. watches, warnings and advisories you need to hear. chilling confession. the accused church shooter dylann roof's videotaped statement to police played in court laughing as he describes the killings of nine people in a historic charleston church.
