cars behind us. that's due to a big problem. the wind is cause ago mess on the bay bridge. a tree fell on the west bound lanes before the tunnel driving into the city. you can see from our bay bridge towercam, the traffic backup there. larry: that is dead stop right there. kristen: this photo posted by the c.h.p. is what we're talking about. you can see the tree down just at the entrance to the tunnel. you can see fire crews working to clear the tree rd. let's check in with spencerchst. twoands the wheel.spen absutely. it hard to maintain control are of a vehicle with the winds as we have had gusts over 60 miles per hour. surface wind speeds, 58-mile-per hour gusts. we had 62 mile-per-hour gusts. we had gusts well over 50 miles

per hour in many locations. so we have damaging and potentially dangerous winds that will be with us into tomorrow as a result of that, a wind advisory remains into effect until 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. this is for the entire bay area. in fact, even stronger gusts on the coast where we'll likely have a high wind warning. so winds will generally be out of the northwest at 25 to 35 miles per hour. gusts up to or above 60 miles per hour. this could have downed tree limbs. maybe a few power outages and unsecured objects may get blown around. now, this has allegations cribbed the strong winds too to chilly conditions. we have a sharp 24-hour temperature change because of the approaching cold winder storm. you can see most locations right now are 10 to 15 degrees cooler than they were at this house yesterday. and the high winds have whipped up some high and rough surf along the coastline. so we have a high surf advisory until 4:00 p.m. torch tomorrow

large breaking waves could reach 25 feet in height. and the opposing storm by the way on which we'll give you more details later ranks one on the abc7 storm impact scale. more details later. larry: see you then, spencer. want to give you ana look at pg&e's outage map the people that have so far lost their electricity. green is less than 50. yellow means 50 or less without power. orange means 500 to 5,000 if you see red and we don't see a lot of red here -- kristen: that's good. larry: that's a good sign. that means that's over 5,000. we spoke to pg&e. estimated as many as 70,000 customers had lost power. we have team coverage on all this win. diop limb is monitoring the damage in -- dion lim is monitoring the situation. kristen: let's go to dustin.

dustin: as we were driving here to redwood city here in the pen sin sullia our news van felt like it i had sail on it with the wind. we saw many traffic light that is were out and down tree like the ones you're seeing behind me on wood side road. thankfully we're expecting this storm to see less rain than we did in january. but that's not what has experts concerned. even before the rain and the cold arrive for our latest winter storm, high winds made it not so welcome return to the bay area. robert apolinar says we could see a lot more downed trees. ever green trees may be most at risk because it's not the rain that's the biggest concern, it's this wind. >> the rain is more going down and a light push, some extra weight. but the wind can spin. it can come from different angles. so certainly puts stress on the roots, the roots. if the tree weaken it will pull

it right over. we've seen examples up and down the peninsula and across the region. trees ripped by gusty conditions. that includes where a toyota tundra was crushed. some of the trees pulling down power lines down with them. that puts pg&e on high alert. >> as with the previous storms, we expect the peninsula and the south bay to see outagesle we predict in the thousands. >> after the region saw mass outages in january, they're not taking any chances for this storm. pg&e is filled with replacement power lines and transformers. >> we are staging our crews. we are preparing for deploying our resources whether it's cruise, materials, anything that we need to restore power to our customers over the next few days. >> pg&e says there are simple steps to prepare like having battery ready and phones charged. but tree pparation is harder.

it's too late for the preventive work. looking out for warnings sign that is may be prone to failure like limb that is stretch away from the trunk may be the best way to prepare for what's to come. >> now you're relying of the tree hoping it holds up. for me, i don't park under trees. i would suggest you do the same. >> sound advice there because this wind could really take any tree down along with it. the other piece of advise he had, maybe sure you have ann arborist on speed deal in case you're impacted by win of these fallen tree t, dustin dorsey, abc7 news. kristen: good idea, donatist tin, thank you. we turn to dion lim in san francisco. larry: i can tell just by your hair it is pretty windy on there. [laughter] dion: i love it when you make a comment about my hair like that. i wouldn't go so far that the wind is so strong that i feel

like i'm going to be knocked down. it does not make for a good hair dayful but perhaps the least of anybody's problems considering that here at 25th and harrison in the mission it is a mess of tangled power lines andned tree branches. you can see that pg&e crews have been feverishly working at about 2:15 or so where neighbors tell me a large tree came crashing down. they heard a crack, the down power lines and that tree fell on top of one vehicle with one person inside of it. i spoke to a man who live here in 50 years. he said he has never seen mother nature wrath quite like this. >> i heard a crash. and so i turned around and then the tree came flying down. and it hit. and after that, like 30 seconds after that, it was an explosion on top. and then this guy was stuck right there. and i told him, move, move. and he moved. and he told me, he was in shock. and then that thing came

tumbling down. a minute after that, another explosion happened. dion: ooh, can you imagine witnessing that? good thing no reports of injuries. otherwise as of yet, now back out here live you can see many downed power lines dangerously close to vehicles on the other side of the street. i should tell you cleanup crews tell me they will remove what branches they can today and another day they will have to come back and take down that entire tree. so there's the very latest. cleanup crews will be here for quite some time. we will stay on top of this situation. live in the tonight, i'm dion lim abc7 news. kristen: thank you. high winds are picking up in the bay area. the san francisco zoo will be close today due to strong winds gusts. big basin redwood park will be closed. a high wind advisory in effect for the region. state park officials will announce when the park will be

>> i don't quit. i don't give up. come on. that's not in my d.n.a. kristen: barbara lee makes it official in this new video. she's entering the race for dianne feinstein's senate seat. today the 76 year-old told us

why she wants to be in the senate. >> i think the senate needs a champion like myself who is a progressive woman, a progressive african-american woman who has fought for progressive causes all of my life. kristen: lee says she chose to wait to announce her candidacy until after feinstein officially announced she won't be seeking re-election. tonight on abc7 news at 5:00, lee discusss the impact, race, gender and ages will play in the campaign. larry: joining me now is jackie spear. thathank you so much for your t. barbara lee announcing her candidacy along with adam schiff and katie porter. what you do think of her chances? do you think there will be more high profile democrats jumping into this race? >> these are very high profile democrats. this is the big brass ring that every poll situation you know dreams of.

i think that she is going to really mix this up because she is without a doubt a progressive with credentials that, you know, can't be challenged. katie porter is as well. and then you have adam schiff. so the question really becomes are the three of them going to so split the democratic vote that you're going to see a republican candidate for the senate actually be elevated into the run-off in the general election? she is someone who aspires to this role. she made it clear that there's only been two african-american women who served in the senate for a total of only 10 years since the beginning of our country. and she thinks that voice needs to be heard. so we'll see what happens. larry: looks like this is going to ba tough and expensive bat to win this election of the three candidates you mentioned, who's best positioned when you talk about the money that's going to

be required? >> so money is a big factor. she is not the most proficient at raising money. and she says that's not as important as connecting with our constituents. both katie porter and adam schiff have large bases on which to fund rrom. i think the fact that speaker emeeritas, speaker pelosi has endorsed adam schiff and that will be a big boom for him. this is going to be a horserace and one that is going to be watched around the country. larry: so barbara lee is 76 years old. do you think age will be a factor here? >> i know they're going to raise the issue of age. but in the end, she is going to have to show that -- that age is >> irrelevant when you're talking about getting things done.

age was brought up with the president and yet, you have to look at the results. so she'll have to make her case. she has shown that she is willing to take on really tough issues. she's been there to speak about poverty, anti-poverty programs, and she was the one person that did not cast the vote in favor of going in to iraq. so she shows extraordinary courage as well. larry: absolutely. we'll leave it there for now. but the conversation will certainly continue as the months go along. abc7 analyst jackie speier. thank you, jackie. >> thank you. kristen: we've got some frightingly fast winds out there. let's check in with spencer christian. i don't want to look at these numbers. spencer: frightingly fast winds, that's exactly right. we have gusts up to almost 60 miles an hour right now at s.f.o. and 30 to 50 or 55

mile-per-hour gust among much of the remained turnover bay area and it will be with us for quite some time. until 1:00 p.m. tomorrow for all of the bay area. winds will generally be out of the northwest at 25 to 35 miles per hour. gusts may exceed 60 miles per hour. it's possible that we could have downed tree limbs. unsecured objects may be blown around by these powerful gusts. here's our wind gust animation take us through the overnight hours when winds will diminish a bit. it will be quite windy not only along the coast but in the overnight hours and we start the day with strong gusts as whelm but we expect the winds to taper off enough that the wind advisory can be lifted by tomorrow afternoon. it is quite a bit colder or chillier than this time yesterday. anywhere about 10 to 15 degrees colder in most locations. let's take a look. here's a look from central tower looking over san francisco where it's currently 51 degrees.

we have low 50's. oakland is 54. but low 50's in san jose, santa clara. and the shaky emryville looking toward the golden gait. golden gate. 54 at concord and livermore. 57 at fairfield and it's breezy or windy on the embarcadero. these are our forecast headlines, wind advisory and high wind warning overnight. periods of showers, cold showers and snow over the hills will be was. tomorrow through friday. and we can expect colder days and nights all the way into the weekend. let's talk about the approaching storm which is bringing us these strong, gusty winds, and will bring us cold showers. it's on the exclusive abc7 storm impact scale. this is a level one storm. so tomorrow through friday we can expect periods of scattered showers, cold gusty winds once again. snow levels on friday will be down to between 500 and 1500

feet. so that means not only will we possibly see snow in our higher elevations but in other elevations as well. here's the forecast starting at 7:00 this evening at which point we can expect maybe a few pockets of showers off-shore for the most part. get into the day tomorrow. we'll see a better organized -- a bit of stormyness with the likelihood of more pockets of cold showers and snow in the hills and the mountains. and that pattern will continue through thursday and into fri friday. temperatures will dip into the 30's in the inland area of the north bay, the east bay and the south bay. right around the bayshore line you can expect temperatures around 40 to 41 degrees. tomorrow, another chilly day with a greater likelihood of some pockets of showers and light snow developing. highs will barely break 50 degrees tomorrow. 50 in san francisco. 51 in oakland and even as you push inland, north bay, or south bay highs will reach 51 or 52 degrees.

this generally we say snow may come to the bay area. we're talk about the highest bay area peaks up to 2500 to 4,000 feet in this case, we're talking about snow coming down into just hills, not just -- not mountains. so it's a level one storm. here's a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. this stormy pattern will be with us for the next three days. high temperatures will barely hit 50 degrees some of it's really going to feel cold especially be the bay area standards. we've got a break over the weekend. and then rain returns earl early next week. larry, kristen? kristen: we want to talk to the c.h.p. live by phone well have officer mark andrews with us. we talked about the upper deck with that tree that fell blocking several lanes. larry: officer what is the situation with the tree removal right now? >> good afternoon. so as of right now, san francisco fire department is assisting us. we have caltrans

san francisco fire helped us opening the number three and four lanes. so we now have four lanes now open as of about 15, 17 minutes ago. so we are currently blocking just the number five slow lane to help facilitate removal of the -- the remainder of the tree and any debris in the area. >> you know, can you talk about that when that tree fell over -- and it looks like this picture no car was impacted. didn't collapse on to a car. can you just reassure us that there are no injuries or damage to a car property like that? >> initially i didn't have information about any vehicles involved. i've just learned that there were two vehicles that were impacted as a result of the tree falling. fortunately, neither of those vehicles none of the occupants within either of those vehicles resulted in any injuries. larry: that'sortunate. it sounds like bed on your rl distribution that you've got then thing almost cleared away. is that the case? >> we have been

expeditiously with san francisco fire as well as caltrans to try to remove all debris from the road and open up the traffic lanes as expeditiously as possible. >> obviously, we're about to hit the 5:00, 6:00 hour when traffic will be at its peak. do you think it will be cleared by then? how much longer, do you think? >> that i can -- i don't have a hard timeline as far as when we will be able to open that fifth lane. obviously, we want to do everything that we can to insure that all the debris up on that embankment is removed so that we don't have any further issues with the bigger storm coming. >> just one last question, officer. as somebody that takes the bay bridge every day, you see a lot of things. but i can't ever remember a tree down in the middle of f the bridge can you? >> we've had it happen once or twice here over my career. it's not and every day occurrence. usually it happens more along the freeway coor doors especially down in the san mateo area for our jurisdiction. but the biggest thing is that we

ask all drivers to remain vigilant. don't be distracted. focus on the road so that in the event of impending danger such as a tree falling you can have time to take the appropriate action and be involved with being involved with possibly being injured. >> two hands on the wheel today certainly. officer andrews thank you so much for your time. i appreciate it. >> one more lane to clear. larry: they're making progress very swiftly. after taking a major hit during the pandemic, the hotel industry is expected to rebound this year especially in california. abc7 news reporter melanie woodrow has a look at some new data. >> memories of the covid-19 pandemic for the hotel industry are palpable. >> terrible. everything shutdown on st. patrick's day. everything just closed. >> kristen is general manager and owner of the swiss hotel, a sonoma business that's been in her family 100 years. >> we've catered to local,
