sausalito. the chp says three lanes will be closed until about 8 a.m. as crews work to clear the rocks. >> in sonoma county, crews are dealing with flooding and mudslides for the second week in a row. we watched several cars as you see drive through flood waters on green valley road in sebastopol tonight. more than a dozen roads are closed in sonoma county because of tonight's storm, and several more still haven't reopened after last week's rain. >> now, looking live out from san francisco in san jose on this rainy and windy night, abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel is tracking the final hours of this sandy. a level three storm. >> that's right. dan. this atmospheric river has delivered a drenching and has really whipped up the winds. want to show you what's left of it? it's not giving up yet. we still have a lot of rain moving across parts of the east bay. it's light to moderate in intensity right around san ramon. livermore, across 580. the santa cruz mountains have been hit hard, and the wet weather continues across the summit, as you can see here. so we do have flood advisories for parts of

the south bay and parts of the north bay. as we take a look at the flood warning that is still going for sonoma county until 1230 in the morning. creeks have flooded. we've seen roadway flooding. winds are gusting 45 miles an hour. oakland hills we've seen 66 at atlas peak earlier in the day. raindrops on our lens from our exploratorium camera. as we look at san francisco and statewide, we are seeing quite the soaking. southern california has seen its share of damage from this level three storm. it is a strong storm. thunderstorms did develop right west of monterey earlier tonight. and as we go, hour by hour, midnight tonight, we will still have some rain as we head into the 4 a.m. hour. the commute. parts of it will be impacted by a few more showers going into 7 a.m. look at the storm reports. over 100 reports so far of debris flows, wind damage, and of course the rain causing the flooding. this is a level three through tonight. scattered downpours, gusty winds, dangerous surf is next up. i'll be back with a full

look at the forecast which does include your weekend. coming right up. >> all right, we'll check back. thanks, sandhya. take a look at this. a debris flow swept a los angeles fire department vehicle into the pacific ocean tonight. the driver got out. has only minor injuries. thankfully, that vehicle is now being battered by the rough surf off the malibu coast. developing news in southern california, where the storm is causing lots of problems in the burn scar areas, mud and other debris covered parts of the pacific coast highway. that area was hit hard during the palisades fire. there's also a slide in the eaton fire burn area that's up near pasadena, but it is going into a basin which is keeping it from flowing into a neighborhood. there are evacuation warnings in place for people in both regions. >> and a bit closer to home. here's a live look at santa cruz, which is just getting soaked. there is a high surf warning in effect and the wharf is closed. closing tomorrow. it will likely not reopen until saturday. a huge section collapsed right before christmas during a storm. as you may recall, capitola is also bracing

for dangerous conditions. its wharf was heavily damaged in 2023 and as a precaution, was closed. today, several businesses also are not taking any chances and put out sandbags to try to keep the water out. >> it is not quite like december, but it is nonetheless big and dangerous and the words life threatening have been used, which is why you see so many closures. i think santa cruz has closed a number of beaches, state parks, has closed a number of beaches. >> the timing of this storm is a concern since tomorrow, of course, is valentine's day and then monday is president's day. restaurants on the wharf say they are all booked up, but those plans could get washed out. >> our second week of stormy weather does have at least one positive. california's reservoirs are filling up. abc seven news reporter lauren martinez shows us the impact to the bay area's water supply. >> bay area reservoirs are filling up from powerful rainstorms. >> we should expect, you know, a lot of runoff into lexington from the storm. that that

watershed is getting a lot of rain. >> santa clara valley water district spokesperson matt keller said after the dry start to the year, water levels at their reservoirs went from 70% of normal in mid january to 82% now. >> so it's obviously on the upward swing, and then with this rain and then all the runoff that's going to be coming over the next few days, i expect that number to go up. >> at california's two largest reservoirs, shasta lake and lake oroville, the bureau of reclamation has increased the amount of water flowing out to make room for more water coming in. as of thursday, shasta lake was 82% full. >> you like shasta and oroville? you know, they're they're full and they're way above normal for this time of the year. >> and keller said this is important because half of santa clara county's water supply comes from that system, as well as san francisco's hetch hetchy system. yeah. a windy and snowy day was captured by skiers at palisades tahoe on thursday. the snowpack is an essential part of

our water supply. is it too early to ask if we could see water restrictions this summer? >> the last snowpack survey that they do in april really is the telltale sign of how we're going to do for our water year, so we'll wait for that before we decide on whether or not we had a really good season. >> we're in a good place, right? >> this is a good place. and being around normal is a good a good place for us to be here in santa clara county and in california when it comes to rainfall. >> in the south bay. lauren martinez abc seven news. >> and don't forget, you can track the weather anytime using the same live doppler seven that our weather team uses. it's available right now on the abc seven bay area app. just download it in order to get the latest forecast. where you live. >> in the south bay. a man is under arrest, accused of having a sexual relationship with a student. police say the suspect was the victim's teacher and coach at santa clara high school. he also worked at several other schools. he is currently employed by kathleen macdonald high school in san jose. police are asking for

people to come forward if they know anything about this case, or another staffer from the school arrested last month accused of having child sex abuse material. the district has not commented. >> we are heading into a critical weekend for san francisco and its reputation on the world stage. the city is in the spotlight with the nba all-star game, plus the chinese new year parade. the pressure is on for city leaders to deliver a safe and clean weekend. abc seven news reporter tara campbell dives into the public safety initiatives at work this weekend and beyond. >> from san francisco police to the sheriff's department, it's a full court press this weekend for nba all star events and lunar new year celebrations. >> every member of this department, both sworn and professional staff that are dedicated to making sure that our city is prepared for this big moment. >> san francisco police chief bill scott, taking to the podium thursday alongside other public safety leaders, saying the city knows how to do big events.

like license plate reader data, drone surveillance videos. >> in a community meeting with local retailers, san francisco's district attorney talked about the impacts of investing in new technology. >> has allowed us not only to charge more cases, but then to make sure that the defense understands when they need to take a plea. because our case is so strong, but feel confident when we need to go to trial. >> and confidence is exactly what the city's leaders are taking into this weekend's main events. tara campbell, abc seven news. >> now, this weekend certainly is a chance for the city to finally kick its doom loop reputation and maybe win over a noted san francisco hater. tnt analyst charles barkley spent the night at pier 48 for all star weekend kickoff coverage. the hall of famer has previously called the city a rat infested place, and tonight, the hometown crowd let him know how they feel about that. >> i actually like san francisco. i really do. i love to hear that. i do. i mean,

obviously, hey, listen, we got to do something about the homeless. they need their help. we need to clean it up a little bit. right? we can't boo. >> some boos. nba fans sure don't seem to share his feelings. people showed up in droves for the opening of pop up stores in what the city is calling all-star alley. the city really is all decked out from those storefronts to the chase center inside the moscone center. a massive fan event opens tomorrow. and abc seven news reporter j.r. stone got a sneak peek. >> you know you've made it to the nba crossover here at the moscone center. when you get to the cable car, let's go check it out. the bridge. the fog. this is certainly san francisco. and even inside, we didn't have to walk far to find some sweet looking basketball courts. this is the doordash court right here. you can get your picture taken over there, or you can just shoot hoops. you. doordash has a whole setup here where they take your picture. the
