moved fairly well to our southeast. and this is the movement of that system with again, again, the steadier rain moving to our south and east. however, there are still some sprinkles lingering and a couple of isolated showers. this is a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale into this evening. we expect a little bit more light rain and isolated showers, mainly in the north bay. under five hundredths of an inch of additional rain likely roadways will be slippery. here's the forecast animation taking us into the early evening. notice a few dots of showers pushing through the north bay. not likely to hit any other parts of the bay area. and then later tonight, approaching midnight, we'll see partial clearing. winds are pretty light right now, except gusts to 2520 two miles per hour at sfo. i'll show you the remainder of the forecast animation and the accuweather seven day forecast a little bit later. dan and kristen. >> all right spencer thank you. >> aftermath from a rare tornado was still being deat with in scotts valley today. >> no tornado warning was issued by the national weather service. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes spoke with experts about why a thunderstorm warning was

issued instead of a tornado warning. >> and he's live in scotts valley for us with the response. hey, zach. >> hey, there. yeah, we're on mount hermon road in scotts valley. this is one of the busiest roads in santa cruz county. and the area impacted by that tornado. stoplights up and down this road only just started working again a couple of hours ago. we're talking two days after the tornado, but thes aftermath isn't just about fixing and repairing the physical damage. it's also about learning lessons and figuring out how to better prepare and warn people for another event like it. crews were still hard at work two days after this tornado swept through this area in scotts valley saturday. all of the damage happening in a short but frightening amount of time. >> the information that we have right now is generally less than five minutes. >> the day of the tornado, the national weather service issued a tornado warning in san francisco. a tornado there never happened, but in scotts valley it was a thunderstorm warning that was issued, not a tornado warning. >> we asked why it can get a

little hard to tell with uh- on radar what's going on in the mountains, especially when you have terrain like that, it can get pretty tough to tell. >> the national weather service said that the thunderstorm warning does still call on people to seek shelter in the center most room of a sturdy building. a warning they hope people will take seriously. >> severe thunderstorms that are rotating can produce tornadoes. you know they may not at times, as we saw in san francisco, but they are still dangerous thunderstorms. that is why we issued the separate warnings for them. >> accuweather chief meteorologist jonathan porter says even though tornadoes are rare in the rugged terrain of santa cruz county, the thunderstorm cell that spawned the tornado was trouble from the beginning. >> in this scenario, the right conditions came together in the exactly the right spot to produce this damaging tornado. >> scotts valley city manager molly legault said the city works closely with the national weather service and hopes lessons can be learned. >> they called it in san francisco and then it didn't happen. and then they saw it here and didn't think it could happen. so didn't want to maybe scare people. but i think in the future we have

to realize that severe weather is real and it's happening. and just because it hasn't happened here before doesn't mean it can't happen in the future. >> now, the national weather service says it's in the beginning stages of its after action review. this is something they do after every weather event to see what they can do better and to, of course, pour over all of the data they received from this weather event. in the meantime, though, they are telling everyone to take the alerts they issue seriously because as we see, these weather events can be potentially damaging. for now, live in scotts valley. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right, zach, thanks very much. powerful winds and torrential rain have created big headaches for pe in san francisco and on the peninsula. abc seven news reporter suzanne phan has a closer look. there, heavy lifting after heavy rains and gusty winds.r heavy rains and >> take a look at the damage done around golden gate park in san francisco since saturday. >> 74 trees came down in golden gate park, mostly in the west end. we did have some damage to pavement and fencing at 34th

busy time for work crews. >> at the peak on saturday afternoon here in the bay area, there was about a total of 65,000 customers impacted by power outages. but we've really worked hard and around the clock to restore power to our customers. >> powerful winds. packing a punch. pouring rain. pounding the bay area. things have cleared up for now, but another storm will be moving in in a few days. in san francisco, suzanne phan abc7 news. >> p-g-and-e's crews are working to get the lights back on for customers all across the bay area. this is the current outage map. the yellow squares indicate where up to 500 customers are without power. a number of those. as you can see, a lot of the other outages are clustered in the north bay and along the peninsula. >> and you can track the rain any time with the abc seven bay area app. it gives you access to the same live doppler seven our weather team uses will also send alerts with important updates.

inquiry, which was commissioned with a predetermined outcome. >> but on the same day the report came out. corpus took action against one of her loudest critics, arresting the president of the deputy sheriffs association on charges of time card fraud. carlos tapia self surrendered and kept speaking out. he read a statement at a news conference today. >> i'm grateful to the district attorney's office for recognizing these charges for what they were. yet another attempt at retaliation from sheriff corpus. our express loss of confidence in her administration. >> after a month of investigation, district attorney steve wagstaffe has announced he's dropping the case. >> so what? the sheriff's office had, what the investigator had. it wasn't wrong. it was simply they. the investigator did not talk to the additional people in their own his own fiscal team, as well as with the county hr to find out exactly why. there were

explanations for every one of those hours. >> i'm disappointed, but i'm not surprised. >> i spoke with sheriff corpus today for her reaction. >> he has an independent office and i have to respect his decision. but, you know, with the information that i was presented, i felt that we had overwhelming evidence. >> wagstaffe also admits his own inspectors are members of that same union, but says he got approval from the attorney general's office for them to perform this investigation. the sheriff tells me she's moving forward with an internal affairs investigation into the tapia timecard issue. so it's not over yet. >> all right. thanks for following up for us, dan. >> thanks, carissa. >> all right, well, keeping students in schools, what california lawmakers are planning to keep ice out of the classroom. and it's official, what, 49 year de'vondre campbell will not be doing for the next few weeks. and later this hour,

bill calls for a one mile radius around schools, recognizing that sometimes ice officials might be sort of lying in wait near campus. again, we don't want students to stay home. we don't want attendance to be suppressed. >> we have increased calls to our office from from the community. >> this immigration attorney is unsure how the state law will affect federal enforcement actions, but she said it's important to address it. >> it is very traumatic to the families, to the kids. if parents are dropping off their children at school and then the parents are taken in front of children, the fear of deportation could have parents keeping kids home from school with big fiscal consequences. >> when a student is sitting in the seat, that's revenue. when they're not in the seat, that's lost revenue. >> the bill has an urgency clause in it, meaning it could move rapidly through the legislature and, if passed, take effect quickly in a race towarde

into the nighttime hours. notice a little partial clearing in some spots, but there could be a few isolated showers moving through the north bay this evening. then after midnight, we expect more in the way of clearing going into tomorrow morning. right now we're looking at temperature readings in the mid 50s at san francisco, oakland, hayward, san jose, redwood city and half moon bay. and it's still looking a little dreary at the golden gate, but the clouds are lifting a little bit. notice the pavement is still wet 50 degrees at santa rosa. right now we have mid to upper 40s at petaluma, napa, fairfield, concord, livermore, 51 degrees. and as we look across the embarcadero, check out the forecast headlines through this evening. again, a possibility of isolated showers, mainly in the north bay. other locations should see some partial clearing as we get later into the evening hours. tuesday into friday. dry and milder weather with temperatures rising above average for this time of the year, and the weekend brings a return of rainfall, also brings the beginning of winter over in the sierra. a winter weather advisory is in effect until 4:00 tomorrow morning. there will be some wet snow, about

2 to 5in of additional snow accumulation above 5000ft. winds maybe gusting up to about 40mph. but back here in the bay area again, a partial clearing going into the overnight and early morning hours. overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 40s and then highs tomorrow under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies, low 60s along the coastline and around the bay. shoreline. 61, oakland 62 at san mateo tomorrow. low 60s inland as well, except antioch, which will be a cool spot with a high of 58 degrees. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. notice the increase in temperatures going into the latter part of the week. mid 60s, around the bay and inland on thursday and on friday, even as clouds increase. it remains mild, but this saturday marks the beginning of winter, which arrives officially at 1:20 a.m. it will bring our first rainfaf winter and that may continue through the weekend. >> all right. thank you. spencer. okay. >> a holiday tradition hits the road. we'll take you along the
