weather service has really trimmed back the winter storm warning. it's now over for the west slope of the sierra, still in effect around tahoe, but conditions will improve greatly throughout the next 6 to 8 hours. so the tahoe forecast we have snow showers falling before noon into the afternoon. we're drying out. that leads to a really nice weekend. saturday and sunday we have sunshine, dry conditions, but chilly with temperatures in the 30s. back here at home, live doppler seven is showing you we have some isolated downpours out there. the final line of rain is right here, so once this line moves through over the next 2 to 3 hours, we are done with the showers. but this morning we keep the storm impact scale in effect until 9 a.m. after 9 a.m. the rain is out of here and we have a dry afternoon on the way, so temperatures later today will get you into the mid 50s under a mix of sun and clouds. and then the weekend looking fantastic. lots of sunshine both saturday and sunday, but we have some very cold mornings over the weekend. reggie aqui we'll talk about advisories and warnings posted for the temperatures coming up in about seven

are out there right now. they're putting those flares out. they're responding to this. so this could cause some backups a little bit later. we'll keep tracking this for you. right now, though, you'll see the traffic is flowing nicely there. so it's not creating any big delays at this time. from highway four to san francisco, 40 minutes. we also have a couple other crashes that we're tracking over in pleasanton. there's a solo crash that's blocking the right lane on southbound 680. after sunol boulevard. there is heavy traffic all the way to bernal avenue, so if you're driving in that area, just keep that in mind. speeds are down about eight miles per hour. and in san jose we have a two vehicle crash with an overturned vehicle that's blocking the left lane speeds. there are down to about nine miles per hour. reggie aqui. >> thank you, gloria. abc seven news reporter lena howland has been keeping a close eye on the roads this morning. she is live in the north bay with what it looks like during your commute. and of course, the aftermath from this week's storms. hi, lena. >> hey, reggie. we are heading southbound on 101 from the marin county side. we are just about to get on to the golden gate bridge at this hour, and we

really are not seeing any problem areas up here right now at this hour. i want to go now to a look at what we are seeing on the roads as we are getting on to the golden gate bridge, and you can see here things are pretty clear out. we're not really seeing much rain, only a few sprinkles so far this morning. so this has not caused very many issues at all on the roads up here in the north bay so far this morning. now further up north from where we are at this week, storms have kept the sonoma county fire swiftwater rescue teams extremely busy coming to the rescue of stranded drivers and pedestrians. the fire district told us yesterday that just in the last 72 hours, they had already done ten swift water rescues across the area. they say despite putting up closed road signs and other posted messaging, people continue to ignore their warnings and drive through flooded roads. >> we try to close off roads, we put out our messaging, don't drive through flooded roadways, turn around, don't drown. and

people still unfortunately don't don't heed the warnings. >> after a mudslide cascaded onto a home in santa rosa earlier this week, 16 homes near deer trail court are still under an evacuation warning, while city and county crews continue to monitor the hillside for stability. and back here live on 101. a reminder to slow down this morning. if you do run into any rain, any of those short bursts of a storm, just like we ran into in the east bay earlier this morning, a good reminder to give yourself just a few extra minutes before heading out the door this morning. for now, reporting live from the golden gate bridge. lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right, lena, thank you. and dramatic video shows a deputy rushing to rescue a woman early tuesday morning in marin county. the deputy breaks the car's back window and begins removing items, trying to make room for the woman stuck inside for her to breathe. eventually, the deputy is able to pull that woman from the vehicle. the

sheriff's office says the deputy likely got there just in time to save the woman's life. >> and you can see about half the license plate when deputy dawson arrives on scene. by the time he gets her out of the vehicle and onto the roadway, he turns around. at the very end of that video, the vehicle is almost completely submerged. >> wow. fire officials said events like this can serve as a reminder for the public. >> in the east bay, yesterday's wind and rain was nothing compared to tuesday's strong gusts of wind and heavy rainfall. city crews cleared out gutters along wood street in west oakland. the city says in addition to cleaning storm drains, workers put down sandbags and tarped areas prone to mudslides and the coordinating their efforts with other local agencies. some residents say things have actually been pretty good this winter. >> like i said, i haven't seen any trees or haven't had any branches come down because i cut a lot of them away. in a couple of months ago. >> the city of oakland has some storm readiness ideas posted on

its website. one of the most important things they advise is to remove leaves and debris from storm drains on your street. that will help prevent flooding. you can track the rain using the same doppler that our weather team uses on our abc seven bay area app. we'll also send alerts with important updates. >> i don't know, i just felt this searing pain that was like the worst pain i've ever felt in my life. >> ten days after he was shot several times, including in the face. we are hearing from the san francisco business owner who somehow survived. martin oliver says he was just stepping outside of his dispensary, the vapor room, to take a break. that's when a stranger came out of nowhere and pulled a gun on him. martin says he turned to run, but fell, and the man stood over him and shot him again. he recalled what went through his mind. >> and so i remember feeling this like sensation. like like pulling out of me but not being able to escape it. so i was like, very tethered to my pain. and it was it just would not

stop. you know? and then it got worse as more bullets hit me and i just i remember confusion and anger and fear. i thought i was going to die on ninth street. >> the man who shot martin was later killed by san francisco police during a standoff. martin says a nurse helped as he was lying on the street, and he hopes she comes forward so he can meet her. >> the oakland unified school district could run out of money in less than a year without major changes. community members expressed their concerns last night. the district's budget and finance committee. oakland unified is facing a projected budget deficit of at least $95 million. school closures and consolidations are on the table, so is slimming down school staffing even more than the district already has? community members offered their input last night. >> so we don't think that the cuts are necessary. >> to close the schools, take the assistant principals away. that is not the way we should run this district. >> we're losing enrollment. our

attendance isn't up. so then we have to do things that are only going to make enrollment worse and attendance worse. that's what i mean that we got to. oakland has to stop that. >> the committee did not reach an agreement on what budget proposal to recommend to the school board. the board is scheduled to vote on a budget later this month. >> a big change could be coming to downtown san jose. according to our media partners at the bay area news group, a real estate firm is proposing a plan to revamp a three block area that's mostly vacant right now. it encompasses an area along south first street, not far from san jose state. paseo place would have space for restaurants, retail and entertainment businesses. city leaders hope to speed up the development proces, so it's ready for the major sporting events coming to the south bay next year. this includes the super bowl. now, the san jose city council has reaffirmed its support for undocumented immigrants and started the process to take their support further. now, this

week, the council unanimously approved a resolution introduced last month that commits the city to not collaborating with the federal government as it relates to deportation enforcement. the resolution also looks at the possibility of providing $2.5 million in funding to the rapid response networks, which identifies ice activity in the area. the resolution also looks into funding for legal services. >> defense for members of our community who may be stuck in deportation enforcement limbo. there are a lot of people who get stuck in there and they get lost in that system. and so we want to make sure that if san jose is home, that you get resources from the city. >> there is a virtual town hall planned for the upcoming wednesday to take questions from community members about immigration policies and resources. >> still ahead making homes fire resistant the executive order. governor newsom just signed for homeowners across the state. >> and you are looking live at the big board at the new york stock exchange. you can see we're up about four points. another update on how the

markets are doing next. >> also making a splash. a look at the new bar opening today just outside of chase center. but first here's drew. >> hey there. live doppler seven is showing you. we have some isolated showers out there this morning. it's not widespread, but we do find 1 or 2 of these this morning. it could drop visibility momentarily. we'll take you down into the city right now. we have a line of some light to moderate showers moving through. kind of the northern half of the city. moving into the bay bridge in about five minutes. oakland. just a heads up. you'll see a quick moving shower out there. these do not last long, only until about 9 a.m. after 9 a.m. watch what happens. we get rid of this storm system and it will turn sunny and dry this afternoon. but temperatures will be on the cool side in the mid and upper 50s. now we take a bigger picture of live doppler seven along with satellite. this low is about to cross northern california and exit, and as it exits, it's taking those showers with it this morning. but we do have snow still falling in the sierra around tahoe as well. just look, we have chain controls on all roads leading to tahoe this morning. so snow

showers until about noon into the afternoon today. conditions improve greatly. and that sets the stage for a really nice weekend in tahoe with lots of sunshine back here at home. early morning shower, mix of sun and clouds this afternoon. temperatures in the mid 50s and that sets the stage for us for a really nice weekend locally. we have lots of sunshine saturday and sunday, but some cold mornings on the way. we have freeze warnings, frost advisories posted for saturday morning. we'll take a look at how low those temperatures go in the accuweather sev

executive order, speeding up rules requiring homeowners to make their homes more fire resistant. the timeline isn't clear yet, but eventually all homes in extreme fire risk areas must have a five foot buffer where nothing can catch fire. and that means no dead plants, wooden fences or furniture within five feet of your walls. experts say those strict requirements make a difference even in extreme situations like the palisades fire. this will only apply to homes in areas the state considers very high fire risk. it's worth noting that doesn't apply to parts of altadena devastated by the eden fire. southern california is beginning the next phase of the wildfire disaster. >> it was one month ago today.

those fires burned through los angeles neighborhoods, destroying thousands of homes and businesses. today, abc seven and our sister stations in california are coming together for a one day fundraiser to help our neighbors in need. >> joining us live in studio now is hana malik, northern california coastal region ceo for the american red cross. we want to make sure that we get that. absolutely. >> but that's a fancy way of saying you represent the bay area for the red cross. >> absolutely. we're happy to be here. >> now, before we begin, we do want to let our viewers know that you can donate at red cross dot org, slash, abc and hana. we knew that you were down there. you said for two weeks. what was the situation like for you? we'll start there. >> yeah. so i got there one day after the fire started, and it was great to see the red cross spring into action with our community partners and help people displaced by the fires. today, we still have two shelters open with over 200 residents in those shelters, and we work for helping people with long term solutions like housing and child care. >> child care is important. one of my friends, like so many

people in the bay area, i have a friend whose house burned to the ground. she has a newborn, only five weeks old when the fire came and destroyed her house and she was unable to leave with anything at all. just her baby ran out of the house and so immediately, her friends, including me, we were sending like formula and baby wipes and that kind of stuff. but we know that there has to be a longer term solution for these folks. so if people do donate to the red cross, where does that money go? >> yeah, that's a great question. making that financial donation allows us the most fast, fastest way to make that impact. someone from cal oes said it well the other day they talked about if you donate things, people are limited to maybe a brand that they don't like or maybe not their favorite color, or that shirt doesn't fit just right when they have financial assistance from organizations like the red cross, they're able to touch and feel and get their favorite color, their right size, and then it also helps stimulate the local economy. >> yeah, and i know that some people, if they're sitting here thinking about how much can i donate, even a $10 donation goes so far. can you walk us through,

you know, when people are sitting there trying to gauge, how much do i give? >> absolutely. $10 goes a long way for those that have been displaced. that could help pay for blankets and hygiene kits. as you know, many people left with the clothes on their back, and those hygiene kits make a simple way to help them get back to normal. >> this charity is obviously not tit for tat. we don't give in order to receive back again, but we know it's only a matter of time before we're going to be in a situation where northern california is once again burning. so there is sort of like a policy here where we have to help our neighbors because we'll potentially be in the same situation. >> yeah, that's been the most heartwarming part about all of this is seeing californians step up, supporting our neighbors down in southern california. we've got a lot of experience with wildfires up here. we've had over 100 northern california volunteers deployed down to southern california, and they gain experience in practice so that when it happens here in our backyard, we're even more ready and more prepared. >> yeah, and to reggie's point, we have seen a lot of those devastating wildfires up north as well. here in the bay area. we've come together as a

community. what did you take away from the community and that level of hope that they have? obviously, we're a month since they first sparked. there's still so much to do. >> yeah, just seeing that resiliency in the community coming together was really special. i got to meet one shelter resident named lorna who got to move into some some longer term housing, and she had bonded with a neighbor she had never met before. but they bonded over this experience and she said, make sure you look out for susie. susie is an elderly woman. she didn't have any family, any friends locally, and that just shows the community and the resilience. >> i'm wondering just more broadly before we wrap up here, how are things red cross fundraising wise generally, even, you know, the fire side. i know a lot of donations come in when a major emergency happens, but some people have been struggling in this economy. and i'm just wondering how you all are doing. >> yeah, it's an ongoing, you know, efforts for fundraising. most people don't know that in addition to big disasters like earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, we respond to single family fires every single night.

the fire department puts that fire out. we meet clients sometimes at two in the morning, and give them financial assistance so they can start their long road to recovery. we give them those hygiene kits that have those basic necessities because they may have lost everything in their homes. and then we assign a caseworker to help them through that long road of recovery. >> that's a good reminder. red cross is an emergency thing. it's also an everyday thing. >> absolutely. >> yeah. thanks so much for being here. we appreciate you talking to you. and thanks for going down there to help our neighbors. and again, to donate you can go to red cross.org/abc. it's really easy if you have your phone out right now and i know you're scrolling, it's 650 in the morning. that's what you do when you get up, right? you can go up to your screen, take a picture of this, and then that qr code is going to take you directly to the donation page if you want to call. if you want to be old fashioned about it, you can. it's a18 hundred red cross. very easy. and thank you again for your donation. a new task force will bring a larger police presence to parts of downtown san francisco. this is going to cover prominent tourist areas like union square, moscone convention center, and yerba buena gardens, areas that were

previously split up between different police districts. the new unit will operate 24 over seven, and sfpd chief bill scott says most importantly, the zone is going to be their sole focus. >> it's really hard when you're going from call to call to concentrate on problems. this effort will allow our officers to have the time they need to actually prevent problems. >> occupancy rates, storefronts not being shuttered, but actually being opened. we will look at all of those statistics in terms of measures of success. >> chief scott says his department will have to move around resources to make it work. but increasing police presence downtown is critical to the city's economic recovery. >> and this morning, we're getting a sneak peek of the nba jerseys for the upcoming all star game. next weekend at chase center. there will be three colors sky blue, navy, and red. the blue jerseys are oakland inspired, with roots of an oak tree on the sides, and the red is inspired by san francisco, highlighting the cable cars and the hills. the game is next sunday at chase center. now the

them. >> this morning. we're tracking rain moving through parts of the region. we'll take you to our exploratorium camera this morning where the storm clouds are overhead as we track a quick moving downpour across san francisco. so this morning until 9 a.m, we are tracking these isolated downpours as our storm system begins to exit the region after 9 a.m. it is quiet. it is dry this afternoon and sunshine is back. the weekend outlook. it is nice and sunny both days, but we do have some really cold starts in the morning with freeze warnings and frost advisories. now a nice dry stretch into early next week. rain back in the forecast starting next wednesday. so live doppler seven this morning. we're not tracking widespread rain, but where we do have some of these pop up downpours, it does bring us a quick hit of rain and some lower visibility. we have one downpour moving out of redwood city, across the dumbarton bridge into fremont this morning, but a line of showers has now set up across the city into the east bay. so you saw the exploratorium camera. we have those showers falling right now. this is now moving into oakland. heads up in

about five minutes. emeryville. you're about to see a quick moving downpour. they do not last long. this is not an all day affair. until 9 a.m. we have this chance of these isolated downpours after 9 a.m. the system is out of here, but a level one this morning for these brief downpours, creating some slick roads out there. and thankfully winds are on the light side. looking at the rainfall chances, they are elevated the next couple of hours, but then after 9 a.m. as the storm exits, the rainfall chances really go down in a big way. and this afternoon it is quiet with a mix of sun and clouds. so we'll track those isolated downpours out there this morning. drier this afternoon. temperatures only in the mid and upper 50s. now tonight those temperatures are going to tumble. it gets very cold. freeze warnings, frost advisories up for most of us, temperatures in the 20s and 30s overnight tonight with clear skies. but that leads us to a nice afternoon tomorrow and sunday. here's the accuweather seven day forecast a shower before 9 a.m. then we're drier this afternoon. the weekend sunny skies, but cold mornings. saturday and sunday we keep it

dry through tuesday. then rain is back wednesday and into thursday guys. >> all right drew thank you. someone in the bay area became a multi-millionaire, all with the scratch of a ticket. and the winning scratchers ticket was sold at the arco station on park street in alameda, california. lottery officials say the winner got an instant $2 million prize in the crossword scratchers game. the winner was one of five california players to claim part of $12 million in prizes. to kick off the new year. >> san francisco's biggest sports bar opens today just outside chase center. the arena shared this video on social media of splash at thrive city. it's a 30,000 square foot bar and entertainment center. there are more than 75 tvs, including a giant curved led screen. splash will also have a gaming area with pop-a-shot basketball and a golf simulator. it opens at 11 this morning. >> oh my goodness. they're doing a lot of things over there. it is busy. >> i wish there were skee ball. i just always want a skee ball a
