east. there was a lot of lightning with this. we are seeing the lightning strikes becoming less active in the last 20 minutes. great news as we have seen heavy rainfall. not seeing it still pouring in san francisco and oakland. that moved off to the east. heavy rain in napa and fairfield. that will be ending in the next few minutes. for san leandro, rain clearing there. it is moving to antioch, brent wood, spots like concord down to the tri-valley. we are seeing very heavy rain. that will last for a little while longer before it tapers off. and heading into the south bay some pockets of very heavy rain moving through san jose towards alum rock is and evergreen. gilroy, san martin lightning strikes a little while ago. now the rain is clearing out of

redwood city and san mateo. very strong winds as we go through the rest of the day. still more waves of this rain in the forecast. more heavy downpours. and the possibility of more downed trees and power lines. we will talk more about that coming up at 5:08. as we head of to mike, he has a traffic break near sfo. things are easing up as far as the rainfall. a short time ago, we had lightning in the area and heavier rains. the lightning might have been a distraction. look at the map over here. not a lot of slowing in the south bay or the east bay. southbound 101, called by chp between 380 and the off-ramp. a crash because of hydroplaning. we see that slower drive. there may be a traffic break. more slowing south on 280 as well. we will track this.

currently changing for the speed sensors there. daly city, flooded roadways. watch the edge of the rooted ways. stay to the middle lanes if you can. traffic relatively light. more slowing around west borough at the on-ramp. i do want to show you the travel times throughout the east bay. no delays as far as these times go. >> reporter: good morning to you. the conditions definitely have changed. i have taken off the ball cap. that rain haslett up. we're in the embarcadero where the big inauguration protest

will take place early this morning show you this puddle. there's light sprinkles. nothing major at least in this area. earlier this morning we saw heavy rain coming town. we got notice that san francisco has activated its emergency operation center as a result of the rain they are expecting later on. we saw early this morning. it could be a factor when you think about the big crowds expected with some of these protests. >> what a contrast in different parts of the bay. pete, thank you very much for that live report from the 'em darrow. more coverage in just a moment. first, it is a historic day for our nation. in a matter of hours, about four, we will have a new president of the united states. >> in fact, a live look here of our nation's capital preparations are under way for

area. of the past hour, we saw numerous light flashes of light, seem to be situated over in the bay, if not the peninsula. with that came a torrential downpour. we drove north on 880 past or cal arena in oakland. very hard to see out the windshield. we found the safest speed for us was 45 miles per hour, that's 20 below the speed limit. we were surprised how quickly the water pooled on the road. we saw it on 880. this is high street. a large pool of water covering half the road. as you were alluding to, this downed tree. this was the scene in oakland where a 40-foot-tall tree fell into the lane of highway 13. law enforcement called a man with a chainsaw and had the tree removed and the road reopened an hour later. it is reopened as of 3:00.

what struck me is how isolated it is once we got off 880 into oakland, the water stopped, the rain stopped as if someone turned off a spigot. bob redell, today in the bay. >> he he hit the nail on the head there. a lot of people were wondering is that thunder i'm listening to? and now lightning, a big batch of it coming through. >> we saw that within the past hour. that will be the case as we go through the day. quickly changing weather. you see all the flashes, lightning bolts that shows lightning being detected by our radar. as the storm moved inland, we haven't seen much flashes of lightning. it will be possible. some of the heaviest rain moving through the south bay. it will be rolling quickly off to the east. just as fast as the rain moves in, it will be moving out. as we go through the rest of the day, still seeing this coming in waves with very heavy downpours.

our wind advisory continues throughout the morning. by afternoon, we will still have times of heavy rain as the storm system winds down. we will have the potential of more claps of thunder and flashes of lightning. we have a wind advisory in effect until 10:00. gusts may top 50 around san francisco, the coast and the hills. we have seen downed trees. we may see power outages. this is what we have in fairfield with that storm rolling through. you have gusts up to 44 miles per hour right now. and still pretty windy in livermore with gusts up to 36 miles per hour. coming up in four minutes, i'll have another look at the radar. and we'll also talk about the timeline of this rain as we head over to mike, some mystery slowing in oakland. yeah. the wind will be a factor for folks in the north through the east bay. i'm looking at travel times. looking great across the bay

except for one patch in oakland. traffic clearing up near sfo for southbound 101. i'll update that in a few minutes. mystery slowing for 580 coming up toward the 24 interchange. it looks like things are starting to get better. it did reflect on our travel times. travel 580 now much better. it was up to 25 minutes for a time there. a live shot. we'll show you the conditions as you travel through. watch these off ramps. pack to you. coming up next, we continue our coverage of the inauguration of dontal trump. how president obama spent his last day in office next.

the federal government. mr. trump elected as a business friendly candidate he will have a difficult job beating president obama's record. 11 million were created under president obama's watch. the stock market did very well. when you look at the broad measure, the s&p 500, obama second best in modern times behind president clinton. eisenhower comes in third. president obama comes into office after an economic disaster. president clinton after a recession. >> where are you going to do? >> sometimes a little luck doesn't hurt. principle applies to job numbers. >> we have so much to watch in the coming years. right now we are watching this microclimate weather coverage. a live look at pacifica. look at the waves that are crashing in. wind speed will just be too high

we will. we talked about the heavy rain in the forecast. let's see how much rain we are expecting for this weekend. >> well, you know, kari, we had the threat of seeing those reservoirs overflow which means, yes, that does bring potential for flooding. those concerns are very valid as we head into the second series of storms. your total rain estimates, take a look at this. half an inch to over app inch ending by saturday. look ahead towards sunday, we are seeing two to three, possibly four for the bay rare. which means the reservoirs could have the potential of hitting capacities. the highest totals are expected in the north bay, santa cruz mountains. uvas is at 100% capacity, which will bring a big threat for possible overflow. >> we will see those storms rolling in this weekend. 45 in san francisco.

timeline. we will show you the complete microclimate forecast coming up. and travel times starting to come down a little bit. it says 31 minutes for altamonte pass over to the dublin interchange. add a couple minutes onto the each of these routes because the conditions could slow down. 5:46. in a couple of hours, we'll have a new president of the united states. >> a live look at the banners and the bunting and the choir getting ready for the ceremony, which will be 9:00 our time. we saw donald and melania trump go to st. john's episcopal church. >> the inauguration will not be televised at least at one bay area school district. the pleasanton unified school

district sent out a memo advising them against watching any live coverage of today's inauguration in their classrooms citing controversy surrounding the presidential election, concerns about potential safety issues, and the unpredictable nature of live broadcasting. it indicates some parents voiced concerns about a spike in heated rhetoric amongst students and the community. hundreds of women will march in the bay area. a in san jose. oakland marat 10:00 at madison square park. and san francisco at 3:00 in the afternoon. these are a look at some of the pictures from last night at the lincoln memorial prior to today's events going o. walnut creek and santa cruz here in the bay area. organizers hoping to send a

message women will protect to fight their rights and the rights of families. scott, the business world looking for two things in the first few days of the trump presidency. >> one is this tariff issue i have talked about, sam. mr. trump said over and over and over he will use his power as president to add a 35% tariff to many foreign-made products coming into our ports. items he think should have been manufactured here. he said specifically anything made in china would include most things made by apple and foreign-made cars. he has not been shy about those plans. but the question has been is he serious? we'll know very soon. the second is corporate tax reform. mr. trump has promised to work with congress to make huge cuts to corporate taxes. it seems to have been put on the back burner. mesh has some of the highest

corporate taxes in the western world. unless president trump says something very, very unusual in his inaugural address, the stock markets probably won't move much. in past markets, they have generally sunk. the dow down for the fifth straight day on thursday. sam is and laura, quick warning about an app. security researchers concerned about mito. researchers say this one steals a lot of information. it gathers information, among other things. it examines your list of outgoing calls, gps, sends it back to the manufacturer in china. they are saying don't use it. get it off your phone. >> i wonder why they would need that information? >> i don't know. but red alert on that one. >> the lenses will get a little foggy today. a lot of rain coming down. >> no need for the umbrella

because it just gets turned inside-out with all the strong gusts we have had. heavy rains moving in. we have seen some of those downpours earlier. san jose, santa cruz, farther off to the south. we are getting rain moving through the peninsula. rain falling towards palo alto and extending into parts of the east bay. once again, that rain coming down at a rainfall rate of an inch of rain per hour slowly moving off to the and east. for the next 20 or 30 minutes, this is where the heaviest rain will continue to train and cause standing water on the roadways. as we go hour by hour, we will see waves of this. by 8:00 during that main morning commute, many people out there on the roadways and heavy rain coming down in spots. there will be a few breaks in

between. into this afternoon, heavy rain moving through the south bay and creating very slick conditions through the evening commute. later on tonight, still times of rain moving. and for the day tomorrow, we will have a few more breaks in that rainfall before we get the next storm system moving in. two more down the pike. as we look at russian river guerneville, it is is expected to reach near monitor stage and rise slowly into the weekend. napa river downtown will be very close to the monitor. with heavy amounts of rain, we may see that rising a little bit higher. the rainfall estimates expected to reach about inch and a quarter, up to two inches for the north bay and extending into the south bay up to two and a half, maybe even three to four inches of rain. and on our reservoirs, they are already throw. throw in an additional two to three inches of rain.
