probabilities from south santa rosa, petaluma, rohnert park, sebastopol, cotati. and right here is the area indicated there right around penngrove until 10:00, where they had a 100% of average above that before any of this rain. so that's why there's some issues up there. level one system, breezy winds one one hundredths to about a quarter of an inch today. look at the wind gusts to 24 and 25 miles an hour. you probably heard it last night. and upper elevations, 40 and 50 miles an hour, even above that. you can see atlas peak and big rock ridge, also the oakland hills, 40 miles an hour. so upper 50s to low 60s with all of that wind. those south winds, 56 in napa 24 hours ago it was mild, but even more mild today. here's a look at the rain you can expect from 6 to 8:00. pushing from the north bay across the entire bay about 10:00. scattered showers there, widespread. and they're light. they'll take us through the rest of sunday, that level one with breezy winds. and then we've got a much stronger system headed

our way late monday into tuesday. stephanie. >> all right. lisa. thank you. take a look. in sonoma county, rain led to flooding in some areas. and then the closure of freestone valley ford road. you can see this driver backing out of the standing water. smart move. decided not to go any farther down that submerged two lane road. and then you see standing water also had drivers gripping their steering wheels in this area. this is the bodega highway just west of sebastopol. and take a look at this. a large tree fell down in a mudslide near forestville, taking down p-g-and-e's lines with it. rocks and mud scattered there just after three yesterday, and at last check the tree was blocking the road at westside road, just north of river road. crews were there to assess the damage and clear what they could. we sent abc seven news reporter cornell bernard to check out the slippery roads and flooding concerns across the north bay. >> pedestrians, beware of the splash. rain is bringing slippery road conditions and lots of ponding in mill valley.

by midday, this road in sausalito was starting to flood. some drivers were still making it through. flooded signs are posted. storm drains trying to keep up with all the runoff after a long rain. dry january in sonoma county, mark west station road near star road is closed due to flooding from nearby winter creek. >> for us right now, it's just the potential for a minor nuisance flooding, ponding anything that could potentially damage somebody's property. >> chief lowenthal says the north bay has received dozens of inches of beneficial rain so far this season. it's ready for more, but not all at once. >> we're hopeful that we'll get breaks in the systems, allow the water to recede, and not end up with any significant issues locally. >> the rain making for some challenging driving on highway 101. back in marin, the first sausalito crab festival supporting the local crab fishing fleet got rained out. barbara waxman and her grandson jake were bummed they came hungry. >> we were really excited to take jake to his first crab fest. and of course with the

rain, it was canceled, which we're half disappointed about. we need the rain. but of course we wanted the crab. >> first responders say the biggest concern ahead is forecasted winds early in the week, which could topple trees and power lines. >> right now, we're looking at the potential for some bright, breezy, gusty conditions throughout the week, but really stronger on monday into tuesday. so for us, when we have these back to back systems, we start to get saturated. soils and weakened trees have the potential to come down a lot easier than they would. >> lowenthal says it's a good time to keep an eye on trees around your property, which might be weakened if roots start to show. steer clear and call an expert. by the way, that crab fest at clipper yacht harbor has been rescheduled for february 22nd in sausalito. in san rafael. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> crab does sound pretty good right now. cornell. thank you. well, don't forget, you can track the rain throughout the rest of the weekend with the abc seven bay area app. you can get the latest forecast and the same live doppler seven radar. lisa

>> currently, we're getting to the root cause of the actual leak itself that hasn't been completely shut off yet, but we are closer to getting the entire valve system shut down. >> around this 2:00. this incident happened at 415. t sirens started going off. i don't know why they didn't go off sooner to alert the community. >> marcel barrera, junior, lives less than a mile away from the refinery. he used to work at the chevron refinery. so he understands how a refinery works. his big concern right now is not knowing what was released in the fire. >> that's very concerning, because that's where all the gases go through the pipes. and if some incident like today happened, it's a bad situation and dangerous situation. >> the martinez refining company manufactures gas, diesel and jet fuel. it's one of the largest employers in contra costa county. in october, it agreed to pay $4.5 million to settle allegations of clean water act violations linked to the

refinery. brandon matson is the public information officer for the refinery. he says there was construction being done on site, but says it's still too early to know if that contributed to the fire. but he did acknowledge there was a leak. >> you know what happens in hydrocarbons are combusting. that means that there's a leak that they were coming out from and ignited. but again, we'll have to figure out what exactly the root cause of the incident was. >> contra costa county health officials say they will be out here monitoring the air until they get an all clear. county officials say they will be working with the refinery to determine the root cause of the fire. in martinez, anser hassan abc seven news. >> this refinery fire comes less than three weeks after the battery storage facility at moss landing caught fire. that fire also sent smoke into the air and raised health concerns. officials say rain from this atmospheric river can interact with the remaining lithium ion batteries and cause flare ups. so far, we're told the area is stable, but crews are monitoring the situation. investigators are

still working to determine what exactly caused that fire. they have also been testing the air, water and soil. meanwhile, kearny street in san francisco is back open after a fire broke out in this area. fire crews responded to a call of smoke coming from the fifth floor of this six story apartment building. it happened just after 930 last night. officials say two people were affected but did not have any life threatening injuries. some residents were told to shelter in place, while others were forced to evacuate. >> there are many people in this building who are invalids, so firefighters did have to use the stairs and carry many victims out to get out of harm's way. >> san francisco fire says the flames have been extinguished and there is no ongoing safety threat to the public. also developing this weekend, canada and mexico have responded to new tariffs implemented by the trump administration. both countries are imposing their own

reciprocal 25% tariffs on american products. we could soon see price increases on pretty much everything from gas to groceries. the administration also hit china with a 10% tariff. the president has placed blame on those countries for illegal migrants and drugs coming into the u.s. he's also faulted them for america's trade deficit. >> it could be some temporary short term disruption, and people will understand that. >> we will respond. we won't relent until tariffs are removed. and of course, everything is on the table. >> some experts predict american families could pay $830 more on average this year because of these new tariffs. the president's move is threatening to start a trade war. meanwhile, president trump has also signed a number of executive orders since returning to office, and south bay leaders reacted to his order freezing federal funds. they say it will have global consequences. >> i'll tell you something every

day that this pause is going on. hundreds of thousands of people are literally dying around the world. we live in one of the most affluent places in the world, and i want our district to talk not just about what's happening here, but about the type of america we want to be. >> two judges have ordered a pause on mr. trump's attempt to freeze funding. now, speaking of these executive orders, the cdc has wiped certain content from its website following an executive order by the president. it's aimed at gender ideology and diversity, equity and inclusion. abc seven news reporter tara campbell spoke with a local doctor about how this could impact americans and their health. >> you can click, but you cannot find what experts are calling critical health information on the cdc's website. >> someone got newly diagnosed with hiv yesterday. they're

scared. they go on the website. there's nothing to be seen there. >> several centers for disease control and prevention websites related to hiv and lgbtq health are down as of friday. >> only two genders. >> the deadline given by the trump administration to remove any terminology from federal government websites that promote gender ideology. >> to ban the use of terminology that we use in medicine, in infectious disease to describe populations and describe risks for certain populations. it's just not medically correct. >> doctor monica gandhi is an infectious disease expert and professor at ucsf. >> it's vital, you know, of our premier public health agency to have active, up to date, relevant information on how hiv is spread, how stds are spread, and importantly, how to prevent hiv, how to prevent stds, how to treat both of them. >> doctor gandhi making clear they can't do their work if they can't use certain words.

>> those words are like lgbtq. those words are transgender. for example, men who have sex with men. and it's just impossible to give information about this important infection without using this terminology. >> the doctor, describing both confusion and frustration friday among her colleagues. >> yesterday was a particular day of a lot of concern, a lot of emails, a lot of texts. a lot of you know what's happening. i can't find this information on the website. and some people had saved, for example, the pages from the websites. >> officials at the department of health and human services say some of the web pages might go back up after the language is reviewed, but it's not clear which ones. >> this content needs to come back, it needs to come back quickly, and it should be able to use language that helps explain to the american public how to keep safe. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> coming up on this week as president trump starts imposing these tariffs against canada,

mexico and china, abc news anchor george stephanopoulos sits down with canadian ambassador to the u.s. kirsten hillman about her country's plan to respond. you can watch the full interview on this week with george at eight this morning, right here on abc seven. all right. let's get you outside. good morning. lisa. >> hey, stephanie. good morning to you. we have some scattered light rain showers up in the north bay with a flood advisory for sonoma county until 10:00. and a flood watch for the rest of the bay area until late tonight. but really, the big headline is going to be the late monday and tuesday storm, which is a level three. details next. >> lisa thank you. also ahead we take a look at this deadly dog virus spreading quickly in one san francisco neighborhood. plus, the parents of an openai whistleblower filing a new lawsuit. it's time to say, “not so fast, chronic kidney disease.” because with a progressive disease like ckd,

slow is good. and believe me, i know all about slow. that's why i'm here to tell you about jardiance - it's a little pill... proven to slow the progression of ckd... and reduce the risk of kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. serious side effects include increased ketones in blood or urine, which can be fatal. stop jardiance and call your doctor right away... if you have nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, trouble breathing, or increased ketones. jardiance may cause dehydration that can suddenly worsen kidney function and make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or weak upon standing. genital yeast infections in men and women, urinary tract infections,... low blood sugar, or a rare life-threatening... bacterial infection between and around the anus and genitals can occur. call your doctor right away if you have fever or feel weak or tired, and pain, tenderness, swelling or redness in the genital area. don't use if allergic to jardiance. stop use if you have a serious allergic reaction. call your doctor if you have rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. you may have increased risk for lower limb loss. call your doctor right away if you have new pain or tenderness, sores, ulcers or infection

in your legs or feet. so go on - say “not so fast ckd.” ask your doctor about jardiance for chronic kidney disease.

the family of an openai whistleblower is suing the police for records after his mysterious death. according to the medical examiner, suchier died by suicide two months ago, but his parents say they don't believe that claiming signs of struggle in his bathroom. they've hired a private investigator. representative ro khanna has called for a full fbi investigation. our partners at the bay area news group report the parents accused san francisco police of withholding records and are asking a judge to now step in. sfpd has said it's an open case. happening now. a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus is spreading among dogs in san francisco's tenderloin. that's according to our media partners

at the san francisco standard. parvovirus can cause seizures, dehydration, and rapid weight loss in dogs. cases in the tenderloin have increased dramatically in the last two years. now, it's unknown how many of these cases are linked to the city's unhoused population, but city officials tell the standard access to vets is difficult and expensive for most dog owners in underserved neighborhoods in the east bay. layoffs are coming to the city of oakland. a consequence of the city's devastating financial crisis. that's according to a new memo from the city administrator. the first two city departments to see staffing cuts are public works, which will cut 26 roles. then the police department, where 19 positions will be eliminated. those are the two hardest hit agencies for this round, which will affect 100 workers total. oakland city administrator called the layoffs hard, but necessary to help close a historic $129 million budget

deficit. unions say the layoffs are reckless, unacceptable and devastating for residents. baseball fans remembered rickey henderson, one of the greatest players to ever play the game. a public memorial brought fans, family, friends and former players together at the oakland arena. that's right next door to the coliseum, where the oakland tech graduate forged his career as baseball's all time leader in stolen bases and runs scored. henderson died in december after complications with pneumonia, five days before his 66th birthday. all right. take a look at this. a dog was rescued after falling 200ft down a waterfall near lake tahoe. the pup named moscow. you see, there was being tended to by an ice climber who happened to be in the area in el dorado county. he had trouble moving with his injuries from the tumble, so rescuers strapped him into a harness to carry him to safety. from there, moscow was taken to an emergency vet

and thankfully is expected to be okay. but pretty remarkable. the timing of all that, and the fact that that ice climber just happened to be in the area. >> oh goodness. yes. i like the way that ended though. >> i know, i know. it's such a cute one. >> yeah. all right. well, we have a, you know, level one today. i was going to say a bit of a break, but not really, because there will be showers around, but we had over 2 to 3in in the north bay. and that's why we have that flood watch. the system really lifted to the north. but still the flood advisory is for sonoma county, where they have had some flooding up towards sebastopol, creighton, cotati and south santa rosa. there's a look at the plume of moisture and we are not done with the rain. so as we look at live doppler seven right now, heavy rain north of ukiah. and you can see right here that we have a few showers from santa rosa down along the coast here. penngrove this is where this area here has started the rain with over 100% of average. and

so the rest of us not quite there by any means. so we're looking at parts of sonoma looking at a little bit of flooding. petaluma 1.26 24 hour rainfall total novato 0.62 over two inches in kentfield. oakland a respectable 0.73. mount diablo 1.85 and 4/100 in milpitas. don't worry, you've got rain coming your way in the south bay and east bay monday, especially into tuesday. 54 san rafael, 59, in oakland, with 60 in palo alto. so those breezy to gusty winds out there this morning allowing for the mild start. scattered showers. breezy today. monday we're looking at the rain moving in late. so it's late afternoon late evening. and then by tuesday it's a level three where everything comes together for some pretty significant weather. there's a look at the gusty winds right along the coast currently and upper elevations. wow 40 to 50 miles an hour. oakland hills. you probably heard the winds blowing all last night. they'll continue to lighten up a little bit, but it will be breezy today.

widespread scattered showers, most of it in the morning. the afternoon you can see just a few areas, so the bulk of the day. not bad out there where we see the shower activity lifting to the north monday afternoon. there's a look at the heavy rain moving into cloverdale and santa rosa. so the evening commute impacted, stopping this at 9:00 where we have a very rainy night into tuesday morning. we've got scattered downpours. look what happens by 2:00 tuesday afternoon. we've got a line of some very heavy rain that continues to press into the east bay, the south bay, the peninsula. look at the reds here and look at the winds, how close they are and where the barbs there. and then as this pushes through tuesday night it's behind us. so the rainfall totals today not much. nothing really. from fremont to mountain view, 1/100 over a 10th in richmond 2/10. santa rosa, you add in monday, it's getting anywhere from three quarters of an inch to an inch and a half in the north bay, a third of an inch to a half inch for the east bay. and this is what takes us

through tuesday night. two and a third for san mateo, over two inches in san ramon. so it is trending very wet with over four and five inches for the north bay. gusty winds today. they'll get a little bit breezy. stay breezy i should say throughout the afternoon. and then as we get into that very strong system late monday into tuesday, the very strong winds along the coast, 3040. even better than that, right on through your tuesday afternoon. and then we get a nice break. no snow in the mountains until that system pushes through with 4 to 5ft. sorry i went through that quickly, but the snow will pile up with a winter storm watch monday through wednesday. 62 in fremont, 59 in richmond in the accuweather seven day forecast level one system today, level two on monday for late in the day and the evening. level three on tuesday. gusty winds, very heavy rain. a bit of a break on wednesday. still some showers. level two thursday. cold rain, maybe another half inch to an inch and just some lingering showers on friday. looks

of scamander, a south bay woman who uses an elaborate fake cancer battle to get donations and sympathy. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes spoke with two of the investigators whose work led to that woman's conviction. >> this is amanda c riley, a mom, wife and friend beloved by so many in her san jose church community and beyond. that community rallied around her when amanda told them of a stage three cancer battle starting in 2012. she documented the journey. she said she was going through in a blog for years. she shared detailed stories, posted pictures of herself in treatment attached to tubes and devices. all of it was fake. all the while, amanda spoke regularly at her san jose megachurch, getting countless cash, electronic and in-kind donations from people and organizations. but as convincing as the scheme was to many, she did have skeptics, one of them reaching out to an

investigative producer, nancy muscatello, who investigated for five years. she got jose martinez involved. a san jose police detective who has since retired, martinez now had the task of finding proof he could possibly bring to a court that amanda was, in fact, lying and scamming people out of money. >> if i pursue this young lady and she really does have cancer, it's not going to go well. >> but because amanda had posted so much on the blog, martinez was able to check facts. >> there were things that weren't lining up, like doctors, associated, particular hospitals. but not all of those doctors were were named as employees of those hospitals. >> patient confidentiality laws led to difficulties, but a breakthrough finally came. one of the hospitals amanda claimed to have visited finally responded to martinez. >> they said, no, she's never been here. she doesn't have any future appointments. she never was here. >> from there, more

breakthroughs came. but amanda had been traveling coast to coast for what she claimed were cancer treatments, meaning the case was bigger than martinez's reach. enter irs special agent arlette lyons, based in oakland. lyons had also been in touch with the investigative producer who tipped off martinez. and with lyons now on the case, amanda was now under federal investigation for wire fraud. >> we knew she was using a website, and we knew people were paying her electronically, and we knew that she was telling people that she had cancer and she did not. >> the investigative work of both martinez and lyons eventually led to amanda c riley pleading guilty in federal court, admitting to scheming more than $100,000 in donations. the judge sentenced her to five years and restitution. the work muscatello, martinez and lyons did now setting a precedent for any future cases, something meaningful for them all. >> so my twin sister had cancer the whole time during this. the day of the search. >> warrant, my mom was having surgery for breast cancer.

>> lyons sister, kristen kane, passed away in november of 2023. >> this is what i was able to do my little fight for, you know, in her name. >> for his part, martinez hopes that this empowers organizations meant to help those with cancer to ask tough questions. >> as an example of why they need to ask you for your doctor's information. it's not to create more damage to you. who person who who is sick, but to keep people who are faking it and taking away resources from you who aren't sick. >> and this is just scratching the surface. just how did amanda c riley manage to get away with this scam for so long? who else could have been involved? who were some of her victims? you can find all of that out in the abc news studios docuseries scamanda on abc and hulu. in san jose, zach fuentes
